What would you require that functionality for? 16pc and 32bpc already far exceed those specs and even though they are dithered down to be displayed on your LDR devices, that should be more than enough to work with. Additionally, 10/12/14bpc support would only make sense, if you worked with a file format that also stores that info natively as well as requiring a whole lot of other magic in the color profile engine, the print engine, filter handling and so on. So by all means, this is much more complex than just shuffling around a few bits and bytes in the display routines, which in turn means it's not coming any time soon. Definitely not for CS5 and most likely not for CS6, either. You have to understand that any software vendor will have to weigh the development effort agains how many users would actually benefit from such a feature and currently that is probably only a fraction of a percent, so it is not a must-have feature. This may change as wider gamut devices become more affordable and thus more widespread used as well as OSs supporting them, but for the time being it is something most people have no need for.

i think that he might be talking about output, support for 10bit monitors. The answer is no, Photoshop doesn't currently support that
3. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportwabbi2434 Oct 15, 2009 2:15 AM (in response to Mylenium)
Hi Mylenium, thanks for your comment!
What would you require that functionality for?
Like I said, I'm building a new system with Windows 7 (supports 30-bit and 48-bit color depths). The monitor I plan to buy also supports 10bpc via Displayport. Now I have to choose between a regular graphics or a more expensive ATI Firepro. If PS and/or the current file formats don't support 10bpc OUTPUT yet (and won't in the near future), I do not need to buy the expensive graphics processor and will probably buy another monitor
There was a plugin from Matrox that enabled 10bpc in PS some years ago. Like I said there is already a 16 bit per channel mode in PS I wondered about Photoshop's ability to display a higher bit depth. For years PS has been able to create HDR images although noone can actually see the tonal values.
That leaves the question: Why would one need to buy a 10bpc monitor? Why do workstation graphics support 10bpc? Are they only useful in CAD, animations, video and rendering programs?
It seems we were talking at crossed purposes (thanks Zeno Bokor ), so is your comment still valid?

I`d also like to see 10bit display output in CS5. I have the impression that 10bit displays will be affordable soon. Some years ago a wide gamut display was extremely expensive. Now you can get very affordable Wide gamut displays. Same will happen with 10bit displays. There is the HP Dreamcolor and also 2 new Eizos for around 2000.-. Not cheap, but not totally out of reach. Would not surprise me, if you can get a 10bit display for 1000.- in one or two years from now. At this time many people will use PS CS5. So it should support 10bit display output.
I once had a small program that simulated 10bit output via temporal dithering (or so). I tested many pictures. Some of the pics showed (very little) banding in certain areas (in PS and in the other program (when 10bit dithering was disabled). But you never knew wether the banding was in the file or because 8bit output was the limiting factor. When I enabled the 10bit output, you could see that in some of the files the banding went away. In other files it did not. So it was clear what was the reason for the banding. Sometimes the files, sometimes the 8bit display output.
So if you want to judge your files on a very critical level 10bit output would really help.

Photoshop can't support greater than 8 bit/channel output yet.
We tried, and the APIs still had problems. We're working with the vendors to resolve those problems. (and trying to find good displays to test with that *really* output 10 bits or more per channel).
7. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportMikrotom Jan 31, 2010 5:20 AM (in response to Chris Cox)
Chris, please, can you present actual state of Adobe aproach to implement 30bit color depth viewing in Photoshop CS5? I am writing little article about whole 30-bit viewing situation and it will be fine to have right information. Thanx in advance.
8. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportklsteven-vBdprK Jan 31, 2010 5:40 AM (in response to Mikrotom)
In addition to Mikrotoms request I would like to know, what would be needed to display 10 bit, IF CS5 (or later) would be able to do it.
What OS, what graphics card (only Quadro, or also "Consumer"-card), what monitor? Would this Eizo do it:
According to specs it can display 10bit, although only by dithering.
9. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportMikrotom Jan 31, 2010 6:57 AM (in response to klsteven-vBdprK)
This is really easy nowadays. Windows 7 has native support for 30-bit color depth, nVidia produces complete row of Quadro FX card with 30-bit color depth (even ATI does with FirePro cards), drivers are working good, DisplayPort can transfer 30-bit content to displays and HP/EIZO/others made lot of LCDs with native 30-bit support. The one and only missing piece of chain is SW application wich will be capable to utilize new API functions and manage out true 30-bit per channel output...
10. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportdec9 Jan 31, 2010 8:16 AM (in response to wabbi2434)
Since the ability to detect color differences varies greatly between humans anything above 24 bit is a waste of time. Unless a woman is a tetrachromat.
11. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportHudechrome-sd9sPI Jan 31, 2010 10:01 AM (in response to dec9)
It would not make much sense to have 10-12-14 bit functionality for monitor purposes if the other output devices didn't. Banding for instance. How much aggravation would be encountered to see banding in a print which isn't present on screen? I would want to be forewarned.
It would be interesting if klsteven could print examples of both images displaying banding in 8 bit but certain images in 10 bit did not band, on a 16 bit printer. I believe canon has 16 bit printers.
Banding is my #1 concern these days. Agressive moves with Shadow/Highlight followed by agressive moves in Black and White produce serious banding (as well as other noise components, but the banding is a deal breaker). I could, of course, test it myself and see if the 16 bit file which shows banding on screen and in print shows on the 16 bit printer. Probably will.
12. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportMikrotom Jan 31, 2010 10:04 AM (in response to dec9)
This is common mistake. You definitely need much more than 256 color steps in each channel. Creative photography in BW usually produces lot of banding in smooth transitions between black-greys-whites...
13. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportHudechrome-sd9sPI Jan 31, 2010 10:33 AM (in response to Mikrotom)
Well, I wouldn't call it a mistake!
I've explored it sufficiently that I have tentatively ruled out equipment problems, so it comes down to limits of processes.
I first encountered it years ago with a scanned image of a mountain reflected in a mirrored surface of still water. The banding in the sky's reflection blew me away.
It's at least one of my legacy images that cannot be adequately handled in digital form. Curiously, returning to that site at the appropriate time with a digital camera did not show banding until I made the conversions. Then it was the sky that banded!
I have some workarounds but they do not always work.
14. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportdec9 Jan 31, 2010 12:02 PM (in response to wabbi2434)
If the reviews can be trusted for the Eizo. I did not look in the Eizo forums for the real story.
I did check out the new Dell U2410, just for the heck of it, and the reviewers love it and it has no problems. However, in the Dell forums there are all sorts of Dithering problems and Photoshop problems found in a 7 page thread with the ICM that Dell has duplicated. A fix is in the works. So everything a person reads on the net is not exactly fuzzy kittens.

17. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportMikrotom Feb 1, 2010 12:24 AM (in response to Hudechrome-sd9sPI)
It cant be tested any way, because there is not such a application with abilities to display 30-bit content... It is not just Adobe who is little bit behind HW. Even ACDSee and all of other viewers does not displays content using real 30-bit output :-(

Opinions vary on how many levels the human visual system can distinguish. 8 bpc may be sufficient to prevent banding, but barely so. However, 10 bpc on the system and software side would allow an extra two bits for calibration. Some high end monitors do have 12 bit LUTs for this purpose, but does it make sense to have two LUTs?
20. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportdec9 Feb 1, 2010 7:47 AM (in response to Bill_Janes)
For me, having 2 LUT monitors, would be a waste of money for what I do.

22. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportMikrotom Apr 12, 2010 11:20 AM (in response to wabbi2434)
So, what is the situation in CS5? Does anybody already knows? Still no 10-bit per channel color output?
23. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportZeno Bokor Apr 12, 2010 11:27 AM (in response to Mikrotom)
Nope, still no support
24. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportChris Cox Apr 12, 2010 1:22 PM (in response to Zeno Bokor)
Actually, the 10 bit/channel display path is working quite well in CS5 - on cards and displays that support it.
Again, we've been working with the manufacturers for a while to get it working...
25. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportklsteven-vBdprK Apr 12, 2010 2:05 PM (in response to Chris Cox)
Chris, that great news. I guess, you should make that public so that users know this as a CS5 feature. Do you know wether the new Fermi cards will output 10bit or will Quadro cards be required? And what about ATI?
26. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportChris Cox Apr 12, 2010 2:30 PM (in response to klsteven-vBdprK)
I don't have all the details on hand. We should be documenting the requirements for 10 bit display when we get closer to shipping.
27. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportklsteven-vBdprK Apr 24, 2010 3:04 AM (in response to Chris Cox)
I still couldn`t find anything in the system requirements for PS CS5 for 10bit output. Where will I be able to find details?
28. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportshoot me now-d3u3se Apr 24, 2010 3:19 AM (in response to klsteven-vBdprK)
Well great. I just bought a NEC P221 because I didn't see any need to spend fancy money on hardware that couldn't live up to its potential. While the NEC has a 10 bit internal LUT, it has only DVI connections and so is doomed to receive 8 bit input forever.
Still, it's the nicest monitor I've had that wasn't a CRT.
Now, to recap. Win7 has high bit capability and CS5 apparently has it under the hood somewhere. So, THIS generation of hardware and software finally gets us there?
29. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportSDHD2010 Apr 29, 2010 3:34 PM (in response to shoot me now-d3u3se)
there's support with Firepro from ATI: http://www.amd.com/us/Documents/ATI_FirePro_Adobe_10-Bit_FAQ_030910.pdf
It works with CS5 on Win7.
30. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportChris Cox Apr 29, 2010 5:21 PM (in response to klsteven-vBdprK)
We haven't documented it yet - we're still working on it. (yes, there are more complications than you could imagine)
31. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportklsteven-vBdprK Apr 30, 2010 1:27 AM (in response to SDHD2010)
That PDF is very interesting. Did you try it with this card and CS5?
Do you also have a link to something similar from nvidia?
I`m wondering why this feature is only available to the pro cards. I guess, it`s not expensive.
Some day I guess it will be standard to all cards.
32. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportlaglaph Apr 30, 2010 2:04 AM (in response to wabbi2434)
I asked Adobe support about 10bit/colour channel support and the Nvidia Quadro FX1800 and they referred me to the after effects OpenGL supported card document.
It does not mention 10bit/colour channel at all. Why can't we get a straight answer? like "no", "yes", "we are still working on it" rather than pretend answers?
33. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportemaini Apr 30, 2010 9:12 AM (in response to wabbi2434)
Hello, I am new to the forum in terms of posting. I usually only read the responses but 10-bit support peaked my interest to the point that I felt like posting. I apologize if the question is stupid but I have had this lingering question for a long time
My understanding is that to get 10-bit color a lot things need to come together
The underlying OS has to support it
The Video Card needs to support it and you need use DisplayPort
The Monitor has to have a 10-LUT (or in the case of the new NEC PA24W, a 3-D LUT) and supports wide gamut aRGB
The Video Driver has to support it so that software can be written against it
Finally, Adobe PS has to write software maybe even specific to a card/driver to display the information correctly
Then, I assume, so that all this work is not lost, I assume you need a 16bit printer driver as well to complete the workflow (which I believe Epson has at least on the Mac but I do know that Vista/Win7 does support)
So, given the above and given that many tutorials today prior to CS5 say "Work in aRGB or ProPhoto", how does one do that if all we have is 8bit sRGB monitors? Can we possibly see the difference?
I am just trying to understand how tutorials and books tell us to use wide gamut color spaces when we all have sRGB and PS only to this point only supports sRGB and we only just now have the possiblity of getting 10-bit wide gamut support.
I am obviously missing something or don't understand what is happening under the hood.
Hopefully my response is not stupid and someone more knowledgeable can explain.
34. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportChris Cox Apr 30, 2010 3:00 PM (in response to laglaph)
Read what I already said.
Yes, "we're still working on it".
35. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportwabbi2434 May 1, 2010 1:46 AM (in response to emaini)
emaini, here's how I understand it:
An 8 bit monitor can display a certain number of steps between colours. Until a few years ago most monitors were only able to display the small sRGB colour-space. Depending on how good your monitor is you may or may not see colour-banding with those. But when you have a wide gamut 8bit monitor, the steps between colours stay the same, but get spread out over the wider gamut. The spaces get larger (the transitions between colours get rougher) and banding/tone seperation is more likely to appear. With a higher bit display you increase the number of steps and get rid of banding.
In other words: the "saturation" or intensity of the colours stays the same, because it's bound to your monitor's gamut, but with 10 bit you get more steps (=more colours) in between.
Quick comment regarding ProPhoto: No monitor is able to display such a huge colour-space. You use it only to preserve colours, to make sure you don't "run out of space" (=lose colours) while working on your pictures. That's also why you use 16-bit in Photoshop. You can't see it directly, but it gives you more steps between tones and thus helps avoid posterisation.
Hope this helped!
Chris, thanks for keeping us up to date, much appreciated!
36. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportMikrotom May 19, 2010 2:59 AM (in response to Chris Cox)
I can confirm that PS5 still does not displays pictures in 10-bit per channel format. Its a shame. Once again SW is far behind HW...
37. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportklsteven-vBdprK May 19, 2010 3:33 AM (in response to Mikrotom)
which graphicscard, OS, monitor and monitorconnection (displayport?) did you use? And how could you tell, which bitdepth is displayed?
38. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportwabbi2434 May 19, 2010 5:41 AM (in response to Mikrotom)
on this page you can download a .psd file to test 10-bit display:
I'm confused… according to this site it should even work in CS4?!
39. Re: Photoshop 10bit supportMikrotom May 19, 2010 6:08 AM (in response to klsteven-vBdprK)
Tested it on nVidia Quadro FX1800 + EIZO SX2462W connected via Displayport + Windows 7 Professional 64bit + actual drivers and patches.
I simply draw a grayscale gradient and can clearly see steps /banding/ between each color. When i switch mode of file to 8-bit per color, the picture remains the same

Famous Gourmet Mac and Cheese, Artisanal Style…
Tags: mac and cheese
Well, we survived day one of Fall Break around here. I even made it through the day without hearing, "I'm bored Mom, what are we going to do today that's fun?!" So, we're off to a good start!
While in NYC a couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to dine at Artisanal Fromagerie & Bistro with 2 nice ladies from Pillsbury, which was a complete treat! The second you step foot into the quaint restaurant, you are overwhelmed with the smell of crazy cheeses. Some may think it stinks, but something about it reminded me of being in
The best part of this post is Chef Brennan shares and even demonstrates his famous mac and cheese recipe on howdini.com for all of us to enjoy. I ended up making it 2 different times last week and it tastes identical to one I ordered at the restaurant. Talk about hitting the jackpot! Next time you need to impress some guests, break out this recipe and bring a little fine dining to your kitchen tables!
Chef Terrance Brennan's Gourmet Mac and Cheese
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
7 ½ Tbs Butter, divided
¼ Cup plus 2 Tablespoons Flour
3 Cups milk
2 ¼ Cups gruyere, shredded
½ Cup mascarpone cheese
¾ Cup bread crumbs
¼ Cup Parmesan Reggiano, grated
salt and fresh ground pepper
- Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil and add the elbow macaroni. Cook until it's al dente, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
- While the macaroni is boiling, slowly melt 5 1/2 Tbs of butter over medium high heat in a medium sauce pan.
- Add the flour, stirring, cook together for a minute or so. Do not brown the mixture; you want a blonde roux. Add the milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Bring mixture to a boil and continue whisking. Lower heat and simmer for about five minutes until it thickens.
- While the milk is simmering, combine 2 Tbs butter and the bread crumbs, and melt together in a separate pan.
- Add the Parmesan cheese. This adds another layer of flavor so it's not one-dimensional. Just cook until the butter is melted. Remove from heat.
- When the milk is ready, add the mascarpone cheese. Then add gruyere cheese and whisk it in, and as soon as until it's melted, remove from the heat. This will happen quickly because the gruyere cheese should be grated and at room temperature.
- Season with salt and black pepper and whisk to combine. Add the macaroni to the cheese sauce, mix it well, and when it's nicely incorporated, spoon it out into a cooking dish.
- Sprinkle the bread crumbs on the top, using your hands to pat it down to make sure it's nice and evenly dispersed all over the surface. The topping becomes very crunchy when it bakes. Cook for about 35-40 minutes in a 350 degree oven until golden brown and bubbly.

I'm going to have to drag my husband into NYC for that restaurant! Yum!
The mac and cheese looks incredible! Definitely comfort food to go with the cooler temps we have here!
- 32
Wow this looks so amazing, perfect a chilly, fall day! Yum!
- 33
How can this be anything less than amazing with gruyere and mascarpone. I am going to have to make this even if it's to pig out on all by myself. Oh Jenny, YOU complete me 🙂
- 34
Looks divine! So if I was going to NY, say next month and have only two lunches and one dinner (maybe it's two and two) would you say this place is a must go-to? Would my husband think it's too much (as he calls it) relief society food? Just wondering!
- 35
I never make Mac&Cheese. Maybe I should start, the boys would love it.
- 36
I totally agree Lore!
What, boxed mac and cheese only? Bob, you've got some work to do!
I know, I was so excited to hear about the demo Stephanie!
Me too Nicole,
The mascarpone is so good inside.
Thanks Meg!
Definitely Patsy, you won't be disappointed!
Thanks Jamie!
LOL Stephanie! I'd pig out on a whole dish myself too!

Thank you, Chef Brennan 🙂
I've been to Artisinal before, their fondue is soo yummy but I didn't like the veggies they gave you for dipping.
Your mac and cheese looks better than any I've ever had out. There are some meals that I think are better when other people make for you: sandwiches, pasta, omelets. But then there are some things I'd traditionally only have at home, like pot roast, lasagna and macaroni and cheese (you definitely proved me wrong on the mac and cheese though! 🙂

Oh Jen, you've really outdone yourself…those Halloween foods are SO cute! You're really so talented!!!

Hi Sara,
That's the best part of this, it's a breeze to make!
Thanks Shelby!
Hi Maris,
Glad you've been to Artisanal. I really wanted to try their fondue, so many choices!
Oh, kimmy, I think you were talking about the halloween post, unless you think mac and cheese is soooo cute!
Thanks Priscilla!

I wish I could take the credit for this lovely photo but, alas, I cannot. This was taken by the CCBF (Caked Crusader's Boyfriend) who many of you will know as our ace Iron Cupcake London photographer. He was experimenting for the upcoming Christmas challenge (for details click here) and my little cupcake benefitted!
This recipe has been lingering on my "to bake" list for a while. I've read mixed reviews of it on the blogosphere but finally got round to having a go this weekend.
The recipe is from Nigella and there is only one aspect of her recipe I disagree with; she says that when you have burnt your butter it will solidify pretty quickly. I did not find this to be the case. I made the cupcakes and the buttercream separately and for the latter, I burnt the butter the night before and then made the buttercream the following morning – this seemed the right amount of time as the butter was solid but still soft.
By burning the butter (you don't really burn it – just let it darken a little) you are making – in effect – clarified butter. This gave the cupcake an incredibly light, soft, spongy texture quite unlike an ordinary sponge. I loved it. Here are the cakes fresh from the oven:
The buttercream uses burnt butter and golden icing sugar which combine to give a light caramelly-butterscotch flavour. It's sweet but not too sweet. Golden icing sugar is a horror to find in the shops but luckily I had the CCM and CCD (Caked Crusader's Ma and Da) on the case and they tracked it down for me in Waitrose.
I include this photo to show you the importance of sieving the burnt butter before cooling...you don't want this in your cupcakes:
Just a final thought: the chances are if you're reading this, you are a baker of some sort. We all have cupboards full of gadgets, tins, decorating aids etc and I find that sometimes I'll buy something knowing, in my heart of hearts, that I'm never going to use it. Other times I'll buy something and anticipate using it all the time. Often I am wrong. The nicest outcome is buying something you expect never really to use and then find that it becomes a 'go to' item. I'd like to nominate this as my example:
It's a stand for holding your icing bag whilst you fill it i.e. leaves you with both hands free. It only has this use – no other, yet I cannot ever imagine icing a cake and not using it. I bought it on a whim thinking it was a solution to a problem I didn't really have and have bonded with it big time.
Confession corner: What items do you have that either disappointed in how little you use them or have amazed you in how important to you they have become?
For the cupcakes:
150g unsalted butter
60g golden caster sugar
65g light muscovado sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
125g self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2-3 tablespoons milk
For the buttercream:
150g unsalted butter
250-300g golden icing sugar (I found I only needed 250g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons milk
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan oven 180°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
- Line a 12 hole cupcake pan with paper cases.
- Start by making the cupcakes: place the butter in a saucepan and melt over a medium heat, stirring all the time. You will notice the butter turning darker – the darker you let it turn the stronger the smoky, nutty element of the flavour. I let mine turn to a darker buttery colour – not as dark as amber.
- Remove the butter from the heat and sieve into a bowl. Let the butter solidify but remain soft. In my flat this took several hours – plan ahead. I must admit for the cupcakes I used the butter while it was still runny and it didn't seem to have any bad effect.
- You have two options making the cupcakes – you can either place all the ingredients except for the milk into a food processor and blitz, then add the milk gradually until you have a nice dropping consistency, or use the old fashioned method like me:
- Beat together the butter, sugars and vanilla until light and fluffy. Don't skimp on this stage as this is when you get lots of lovely air into your sponge.
- Beat in the eggs gradually, add some of the flour if it looks like it might curdle.
- Stir in the flour and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Beat in the milk.
- Spoon into the paper cases and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the sponge comes out clean. Mine took 15 minutes.
- Leave to cool in the tins for about 5 minutes before turning out and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack.
- I advise making the cupcake sponges a day in advance and store in an airtight tin. They seemed to settle down a bit and have a nicer flavour on the second day.
- Make the buttercream as close to serving as you can as it develops a slight sugary crust on standing. Not at all unpleasant but I want you to be aware of it so you can decide for yourself!
- Burn the butter, just like before. When it's solidified beat together with about half the icing sugar until you get a thick, rather solid paste.
- Beat in the milk and enough of the remaining icing sugar to make a nice, soft and spreadable buttercream.
- Either spread or pipe over the sponges and decorate as desired. I used little golden sugar stars.
- Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

It's hard to believe that thanksgiving is past and Christmas is right around the corner. While browsing through the Pottery Barn catalog recently, I came across their beautiful Metallic Bay Leaf Christmas Trees. They have these trees available in gold and silver. I was really drawn to the silver tree since I plan to decorate with a winter wonderland theme this year. The trees are $89 to $99 dollars each. All the silver trees were sold out, but since I'm a real DIY gal, I decided to try and make one my self.
Here's what I did to make my own.
~ The things you will need ~
-Bay leaves
- Cardboard cone
- Glue ( I used a hot glue gun)
- Sliver Spray Paint
I started out by laying the bay leaves on a piece of cardboard. I then took my can of silver spray paint and painted them, along with the cardboard cone.
Once the paint had dried, I arranged the leaves largest to smallest. I then began gluing the leaves to the cardboard cone using a hot glue gun.
I continued to glue the leaves working around the cone and then upward.
My bay leaves were old leaves and very dry, so they didn't curl outward like the Pottery Barn tree. Despite this I was still happy with the end result. The total cost for this DIY project was only $2.50 because I shopped the house and used what I had. The cardboard cone is the only thing I had to buy from Micheal's.
I placed it on my thrift store silver tray next to my DIY faux mercury glass tree and the fifty cent distressed mirrored tree that I made over a few years ago.
I decided it would be fun to do something a little different this year. I grouped the trees all together and made a vignette for display on my cedar chest. I'll share that with you in my next post.

Raised by Lt. Daniels as a pup in the Eastern District drug unit, Kima became one of his best detectives after they transferred downtown to C.I.D. narcotics. Her demonstrated ability and her willingness to do the job even changed McNulty's unfavorable view of female police, and soon they even began to empathize with one another about the job, relationships and department politics. When Greggs was shot and seriously wounded in an undercover buy during the first Barksdale probe, her girlfriend Cheryl's worst nightmare came true. McNulty was guilt ridden for having pushed the case, and Daniels became more determined than ever to see it through - regardless of the cost to his career.
Escaping without permanent injury, Greggs initially agreed to limit herself to desk work in order to placate Cheryl, who was contemplating an in vitro pregnancy. But becoming a "housecat" is untenable for Greggs. Pushing paper until she could no longer stand it, she accepted Daniels's invitation to reunite with the unit investigating criminal activity on the Baltimore waterfront. When Cheryl got pregnant, Greggs distanced herself emotionally from her partner and, ultimately, from the newly arrived baby. She lost herself - and the relationship - in fresh casework and fresh sexual conquests, becoming ever more like McNulty. When Police Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell effectively gutted the Major Crimes unit with a bull-dog supervisor loyal to the department brass, Kima transferred to homicide, where the customary hazing from her new colleagues did little to obscure her talent.

I brought along a teeny tiny black hoodie thinking that black would be a good color to have in France. What I should have realized is that a teeny tiny 5-year-old sweatshirt that is worn to the bone is definitely the opposite of warm. Warmth, rather than color, should have been my top concern, as regardless of how often the French wear black, I would probably freeze to death if I sported mine. It is so thin that if you hold it up to your eyes, you can see through it. Needless to say, it doesn't even help me stay warm inside the house.
But it's not all bad news as far as the weather is concerned. The other day, while it was raining chez FBF, I looked out the window to see that a bit of sun had peeked out through the clouds. Upon a more thorough view, I discovered that there was an arc-en-ciel (rainbow). And not just one rainbow, but two rainbows! A DOUBLE RAINBOW! It was pretty magical.
Why it's not so bad living in constant rain.

Residence Hall Parents
At Thomas More College, we believe that a residence hall is a home-away-from-home, a campus community and a place where our students can live and learn is a safe environment. Community building is our goal. Every student living on campus has something to contribute and something to learn. Students living on campus have chosen to be part of an environment that promotes the exchange of ideas, knowledge, experience, and support. We are confident that your student will take away a great deal of knowledge and growth from their experiences as a resident student.
To accomplish this, all students have certain rights and responsibilities. First, the right to pursue their studies in a pleasant, secure environment. Second, the responsibility of knowing the rules and community standards and abiding by these policies. Specific regulations and policies are clearly outlined in the housing contract, the Housing Handbook, and the Student Handbook.
If you or your students can any questions or concerns, please contact the Residence Life Coordinator. More information can be found on the residence life website.
There are several individuals on campus to assist residence students.
Residence Life Coordinator - full-time staff member who oversees all operations of residence life.
Resident Assistant - the RA serves as the main contact between Student Life and our resident students. The RA is responsible for programming, community building, assisting is crisis situations, and enforcing policies. Your student should not hesitate to contact their RA if they have any problems, questions, or concerns.
Community Assistant - the CA's are full-time students and part of the administrative staff under the direction of the Residence Life Coordinator. The CA's build community in the halls and assist with programming.
Guest and Visitation
Guests are welcome to visit their hosts as long as all roommates agree upon the length of the visit. Visitation periods may be held in all residential facilities during the hours established. The opposite gender may not stay overnight in any residential facility. All students are expected to observe these policies.
Roommate Conflicts
Sharing a room with another person can sometimes result in situations that are stressful. If a student is having a roommate conflict, he or she can talk with the Resident Assistant or the Residence Life Coordinator. If mediation does not help the situation, room switches are allowed, provided that space is available. Room changes should occur after the Office of Residence Life grants permission and will be allowed only during approved room change periods.
Opening and Closing
Students will not be permitted in residence halls prior to the official hall opening and will not be allowed to stay past the official closing (special circumstances approval by the RLC). The residence halls are open during Fall, Spring, and Thanksgiving breaks and are closed between semesters. A student must leave the residence hall within 24 hours of the end of his or her last final exam each semester and no later than the published official closing date. Students for whom this presents excessive hardships should contact the Office of Residence Life. Please see the academic calendar or contact the Office of Residence Life for opening and closing dates.
Personal Property
All goods and property of a student are the responsibility of the student, and the College is not liable for any loss or damage. Students are strongly encouraged to have insurance (through a homeowner's or renter's policy) to protect their belongings.
Fire Safety
The College takes fire safety very seriously. All of our residence halls are equipped with modern alarm systems that alert residents if the possibility of a fire exists. Students are required to evacuate College-owned buildings in the event that a fire alarm sounds and must refrain from tampering with or disabling fire safety equipment. As an additional safety measure, open flames such as candles and incense burners are prohibited. Violations of fire safety policies are subject to judicial action including a fine and/or removal from housing.
Safety & Security
During posted hours, a Residence Life staff person is on duty to assist residents with concerns. The on-duty staff makes regular rounds through the buildings to help ensure that the needs of residents are being met. Phones outside each residence hall enable visitors to contact residents, or in an emergency, to contact the Safety Office. In an effort to protect the security of residents and their belongings, students who prop open residence hall doors will be fined $100.
Each resident will be issued the appropriate keys to gain entry to his/her assigned room. If keys are lost, stolen, or not returned for any other reason, students will be charged $50 per key to cover the cost of lock changes. Failure to return College keys within 24 hours of moving out will also result in an improper checkout charge of $50. Additionally, College keys should not be reproduced; such action is subject to judicial action.

Maybe GM Can't Sell Cars Because Its Dealerships Won't Sell Them
Consumerist reader Chris decided to take advantage of GM's please-buy-a-car Employee Discount sale that we wrote about yesterday, so he headed off to two different dealerships in the NY/NJ area. What he found were deserted showrooms with salesmen who ignored him or argued with him over the existence of specific models he'd looked at online. He adds, "tonight I'm off to Toyota for some hard numbers on a Corolla and Camry."

Since the discovery of the genes responsible for the different forms of neurofibromatosis, much has been learned about how the various problems associated with neurofibromatosis come about. This opens the door towards development and testing of medications that may be helpful in preventing or treating complications of the disorders. The NF Clinical Trials Consortium was formed in 2006 with funding from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command to carry out clinical trials of such medications. The Consortium consists of thirteen clinical centers with 12 around the U.S.; 1 in Australia, and an Operations Center at the University of Alabama Birmingham to coordinate consortium activities.

Yu Darvish's recent no-hit bid now officially ended in the seventh inning, not the ninth.
Major League Baseball has overturned a controversial scoring decision from Friday's game between the Rangers and Red Sox. Acting on an appeal by Boston slugger David Ortiz, MLB on Wednesday changed an error in the seventh to a single.
Darvish had retired the first 20 batters before Ortiz hit a popup that was ruled an error even though it wasn't touched. Ortiz added a clean single with two outs in the ninth, the only other hit.
The popup dropped between Texas rookie second baseman Rougned Odor and right fielder Alex Rios.
The official scorer charged Rios with an error, citing MLB rules that a ball doesn't have to be touched to be an error if a routine catch was possible.

Follow Friday - Who do you NOT know?
For those of you that follow me here, first and foremost, thank you. It's only been about six months since I've started this blog, and it's been a mix of information, searching, more information and kvetching. What I've realized is the incredible power that Social Media has, both over Society as a whole and us as individuals. I'll leave the larger Social aspect of it to the professionals; today I'd like to address the personal, individual aspect.
In August, I attended my first tweet-up, a social event taking place during the Society of American Archivist's meeting in Chicago. At the end of March, I'll be attending the Midwest Geneabloggers first meeting in Ft. Wayne, IN where I'll be meeting a group of ardent genealogy bloggers to research and socialize. Hmmm...there's that word...socialize. Because, I believe, many of us are here to fill a social void in our lives. That's not to say that we don't HAVE social lives...LOL...just that there may be an aspect missing, or more to the point, there's something additive about being on social media.
My first foray into Social Media was in about 2007 when my husband's nephew was preparing for a May 2008 wedding. There were plans galore, and with people being strewn across the globe, everyone was getting on Facebook to stay in touch. So I thought, 'why not.' And, like many before me, I lost my mind. Heh. I allowed Facebook to take up far too much of my time. But, I was able to connect with people I would not have otherwise had the opportunity to connect with: people I'd gone to grammar and high school with, relatives in other States, people I did (and didn't) know in foreign countries. At that time, Facebook was fairly easy to use, and it was private. I could send private messages to people without concern that everyone on the Internet would be reading them.
But then, as Facebook grew exponentially, they started to make changes. Mark Zuckerberg has notoriously said that he thinks everything on Facebook should be open and transparent (as Twitter is), and that flew in the face of many user's expectations. People started leaving Facebook looking for other social media outlets. One of my friends (@thinkstory) told me about a newer social media platform called Twitter. It wasn't anything like Facebook, yet allowed you to connect with other people. So, I tried it. And, once again, I lost my mind. Heh.
The huge difference between Facebook and Twitter is that on Facebook you "friend" people, but on Twitter you "follow" people. People you DON'T know. And, right about now if you ask, 'why would you want to do that?', then you're missing out on a huge part of social media. I like to think of Twitter as a giant 1950's era dance party. You walk in and see all the little groups together in one big room. There's a huge variety of people, and generally speaking your instinct will be to head over to the group you already know. They welcome you warmly, and it feels good. Then someone from one of the other groups comes over and says to one of your friends, 'hey, did we meet at the soda fountain the other day?' Your friend acknowledges them, interacts with them and you feel comfortable because there's a mutual connection. But, and this is where it gets really great, the new person then says, 'Hey! I have a whole bunch of other people for you to meet!!' You have the opportunity and option to either meet them or not. It's social. All the way.
Why the heck am I bringing this up? Well, there are more and more social media platforms, with more and more ways to connect with people. I left Facebook for a while, mainly because of privacy concerns. I didn't like the fact that what had been a seemingly closed, private network became so open and transparent. But, having spent a couple of years on Twitter, I realized I could utilize Facebook in the same manner now, and so I decided to do that. A few days ago, I started sending Friend requests to people I'd connected with on Twitter and Google+. The more of those I'd sent requests to, the more suggestions I received. So, I went on a Friend spree. Except yesterday I received a nasty message from Facebook saying I had Friended too many people and/or sent Friend requests to too many people I didn't know. Well, duh. YOU suggested I Friend these people, so I did. Anyway, in the end, I received lots of messages of support when I vented my frustration about it, and I'm not going to let a silly policy stop me from 'meeting' people on Facebook.
If you're not out on Twitter, I strongly recommend you try it. There are many, many wonderful genealogy Tweeps out there, willing to follow you, if you follow them. And, if you just want to lurk, i.e. watch without participating, I have a list of genealogy tweeps you can follow: Its All In The Family. You can find me @ArchivalBiz. If you have questions or aren't sure about it, send me an email and I'll be happy to explain it. In the meantime, get out there. Socialize! You just never know who you're going to meet. :-)

Fantastic post, Laura! And, Jen really is our glue, isn't she?! Honestly, I can't remember who I met first... I know that I met Terri through NIGS but didn't actually start connecting with her until Twitter. My life is definitely better for the three of you. Without my Chicago Contingency, I wouldn't be editing, writing like I am, the Columbus Genealogy Examiner, part of ProGen15, associating with many wonderful people that you met at a water fountain and introduced me to at a dance party... the list goes on and on. Love it. Love ya! Thanks, Social Media!ReplyDeleteReplies
First, thanks! I'm very aware that not everyone WANTS to use Social Media in this way, but I think it's very important for people to know it's not the scary thing that it's often perceived to be. Love you, too!Delete
Being a newbie to social media, I've been hesistant to use Twitter but your post has encouraged me to give it a try. I had to sign up for a Twitter account in order to use Pinterest. I've had a Pinterest account for one week and really enjoyed it, but it's easy to spend way too much time there. So many fun things to see and repin as well as adding what I like.ReplyDeleteReplies
To me, Twitter is more about information. Both the kind you want, and the kind you have to give. We don't always realize that our unique perspective is just that, unique. And that there may be someone out there that values that perspective. Get out there and give it a try. And as I said in my post, feel free to ask questions if you need to! Thanks for posting your comment!!Delete
This is a good explanation, Laura. Unless people have had a social networking experience BEYOND re-connecting with old friends, I find that they really don't get it. There is a New England genea-blogging group that I look forward to meeting this spring. When I mentioned this to someone, I said "you know, people I just know online, cyber friends" and she said "oh, you're stalking them?" Well, I hope not (!!) ... unless you've had the experience, apparently it's hard to understand.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, Diane, that's true. My hope is that through OUR experiences, both good and bad, we can educate those around us to the benefits of participating in Social Media. Thanks for taking the time to comment; I really do appreciate it!Delete
A Geneabloggers' meetup in Fort Wayne? Ooooh, I'm jealous! My fav research place, and my fav research topic!ReplyDelete
I'm not exactly sure why, but I've been on the fence about Twitter for a long time. Researched it, watched it, searched it (trending topics via their website), so it's not like I don't know enough. Just got to pull the trigger, I guess. Perhaps it's the time-sync thing. I can see lots of hours going down the tubes. Can't afford that. I know I'd need a "time management for social media junkies" primer, for sure!Replies
Jacqui, I've never been to Ft. Wayne, so I'm really looking forward to it! I posted the link to the group on my FB page...check it out if you'd like to join! It is challenging keeping track of the time, but the value that I get from that time spent is the most important thing. Thanks for taking the time to comment, too!Delete
I have been having a lot of luck with Twitter. I don't have many friends on Facebook, but more fans than I can throw a sack of bobcats at.ReplyDelete
Great post!
Ha! I was out of town for the weekend and am only just now seeing this. You make Twitter just that much more amazing for everyone else, I'm so glad I get credit for getting you in there!ReplyDelete

The best of the non-secession petitions to the White House
One We the People petitioner's hokey plea for national unity
Update: The petition has been removed for violating We the People's terms of participation
The rush of new secession-inspired We the People petitions following President Obama's reelection has included some old saws, some absolute arcana and a fair amount of vitriol on both sides.
I think this one takes the prize, though, for sheer cleverness:
Have President Obama Do The Hokey Pokey
We feel that in this time of despair, that President Obama should do the Hokey Pokey on national television during a special Presidential Address to the nation. As a show of bipartisanship, President Obama should lead with his right foot. After all, that's what it's all about.
Created: Nov 14, 2012
Note the admonition that the president lead with his right foot to promote bipartisanship. Thanks David S. Maybe that is what it's all about.

Calling yourself progressive isn't a free pass to be NOT progressive
To the young man working with me on a progressive political campaign:
I know you self identify as a feminist, but let me tell you, saying you're going to "cunt-punch the bitch" isn't REMOTELY progressive at all.
It's not irony, just your weak excuse for saying something like that in a car full of feminists. Irony, when done right, creates a discordance between truth and an intentionally false statement. It's saying you hate ice cream while holding an ice cream cone and eating it.
It's not irony because you meant it. When sincerely talking about how much you didn't like the women in question, it's not irony to threaten sexual violence and verbally disparage her. It's not irony because you weren't being ironic, just offensive. Even so, violence against women is never funny and never to be tossed around lightly by a young man.
Calling yourself a feminist isn't a free pass to let whatever women-hating bile spew from your mouth. So until you start respecting women, both in word and action, stop self identifying as feminist. You're not helping.

Good call, Lindsay. I really hope this young man reads this post.
It really bothers me when people use progressive labels to excuse their refusal to stop their non-progressive practices (like harmful language) and call it irony. IMO, it's worse when it comes from someone who takes on progressive labels because you expect them to know better.
Not that all progressives are perfect, but seriously? What he said was clearly intentional and not-thought out at best and malicious at the worst.

I told him I found it offensive and he couldn't say things like that while I was in the car, and then he tried the irony line. I think he's just young and not aware of how triggering something like that could be. Not that all older people are bastions of political correctness, either.

I think he's just young and not aware of how triggering something like that could be.
Normal people should not be censored and forced into silence by domineering feminists on the chance they might say something "triggering".
That's such an asinine term, and asinine line of thought.
You can't really expect everyone to walk on eggshells 24/7 just in case they might say something, that someone, somewhere might not like.
Why is it feminists often complain of being silenced, as they clearly try to silence and control the very thoughts and language of others?

I am so sick of disrespect being passed off as "ironic" or "I was only joking". People act like you can say whatever hateful thing you want as long as you label it correctly.
No dice.
- June 25, 2009 at 12:19 AM
IF they can't pass off woman-hating as "a joke" it must be because women/feminists/progressives/other target don't have a sense of humor, right?
Perhaps we can remind them that the proper response is, "I'm sorry I said that. Thank you for educating me."

Why can't we decide we don't like someone, and just not like them? You don't have to threaten violence to express your dislike.
Then you don't have to defend your dumbass statements by saying "but I'm --x--, so it's ok!"
Also, irony is not equal to simply saying something you don't really mean. That's...sarcasm, at best.
