Coughing spells. Stuffy noses. Watery eyes.
This time of year many of our health woes can be blamed on the Palo Verde blossoms or Bermuda grass that paint our desert Fleetingly yellow and green. But according to the Pima County Health Department, some Tucsonans are still plagued by this winter's flu. And even as the current flu season tapers off, researchers are looking ahead to next winter.
Experts from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other health institutes are collaborating to predict which strains of flu are most likely to spread across the globe later this year. They're mixing those strains into a vaccine that will shield some – but not all – of us from one of the most contagious viruses known to man.
One expert, however, spends his time looking back rather than ahead.
Michael Worobey, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, traces the origins of infectious diseases. And his latest research has some surprises about the origins of the flu.
For many years, wild migratory birds have been considered the source of all flu viruses. But in his latest article, Worobey said that explanation was based on the flawed assumption that flu viruses evolve in different host species at the same rate.
"And it turns out that, it's kind of a subtle sounding point, but it turns out that the clocks tick at different rates in different host species," Worobey said. "So viruses that affect humans, they go at one rate. Ones that affect pigs they go at another, and birds another, and horses another and so forth."
Worobey said failure to account for these different clocks leads to spectacularly wrong results. He traces viruses using an evolutionary tree.
He and his team reanalyzed 80,000 flu virus genomes with a new set of assumptions about the pace at which viruses mutate in different species. The pace of mutation correlated to the length of branches on the evolutionary trees.
"We pretty much took every flu sequence that has ever been created over the last 20 years or so. Thousands of these things. And the genome of these viruses are in eight separate chunks," he said.
"So you have to make a separate family tree for each sort of chromosome of the virus. Once we have that this confusing picture that we used to have where it wasn't really tree when things jumped from one species to the next and from which species to which species, it snapped into place and there were some surprises," he added.
The first surprise? Worobey and his collaborators discovered what he calls a global sweep in the mid-19th century that replaced six of the flu's eight genomes.
"What we found was actually for most of these genes segments, the diversity of the viruses in these birds is not very old at all. It only goes back to the late 1800s. And it shares an ancestor with this horse lineage," he said. "So it looks like that either the bird virus jumped into horses at that point or maybe in the horse virus jumped into birds at that time point which is just totally not what people were expecting."
"But either way it's really fascinating because it turns out there was a huge horse flu outbreak at pretty much exactly the time that we pinpointed in our evolutionary analysis. it was called the great epizootic of 1872 and it started in Toronto," he continued. "City by city, town by town from about October of 1872 to 1873, equine influenza just laid low all of the horses and mules in every place in a time that horsepower came from horses."
The horse flu shut the economy down. And at the same time, newspapers were reporting also about a major outbreak of bird flu - called the henfluenza.
"So this really virulent form of flu that kills chickens and ducks and other animals looked like it was being found in the wake of this horse flu pandemic," he said. "So you have this connection between the analyses that suggest that for the major part of the genetic diversity of these viruses, you have a horse lineage and an avian lineage sharing an ancestor at this point."
Worobey didn't say whether the flu originated in horses or in birds. But his crucial discovery is the common genetic makeup of the two viruses.
And remember the wild migratory birds?
"This idea of wild birds as being the ancestor and reservoir of everything else? That might be wrong," he said.
Instead Worobey said that the viruses that infect us today traces their roots back to the horse flu outbreak and the henfluenza of the 1870s. And that they were actually found in domestic birds like chickens.
"If you look at everything that circulates now, including stuff that's in wild ducks in north America or south America. The genes in those look like they actually came from the domestic outbreak of 100 years ago," he said. "Which again, is the opposite of what everyone had thought. Everyone had thought this was a wild virus and it moves from the wild into humans and our animals."
"What we're seeing is maybe our domesticated animals like ducks and chickens, they might be this huge pool of vulnerable hosts that viruses can get into and amplify and then you can have spillover from domestic into the wild."
Experts say Worobey's findings have important implications for the spread of the flu today - particularly given the close confines that animals are kept in industrial farm operations.
Turning his sights to the future, Worobey said more pandemics are inevitable.
"Typically every few decades – sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, you'll have one of these pandemics, which happen when completely new to human genes jump from another species – genes against which no on has immunity – so when they do get in there they're able to race around the world and infect a lot of people before immunity builds up," he said.
"That's an ongoing process and that's not going to stop. Predicting when the next one is going to happen – that's tricky. But my feeling is that we will probably not experience something like 1918 again when you you had in places like Philadelphia stories of the bodies being stacked up like cordwood."
What does Worobey do to protect himself? He gets his flu shots - every year.

Atlassian is aiming to tune up its arsenal of content creation and collaboration offerings with new social user engagement and content discovery features. Confluence 4.2 now has options for programmers to post "Quick Comments" and "Likes" in the style of any number of social media services throughout a development project.
In what is arguably only a stone's throw from providing custom-created project newsletters, personalized weekly and daily summary emails are also available to recommend "popular content" among users.
Atlassian has also introduced visual Page Layouts for easier user content creation in Confluence, which is available as a cloud offering or behind the firewall.
"We created the new release of Confluence to provide the most intuitive content collaboration environment for product development teams," said Jean-Michel Lemieux, vice president of engineering at Atlassian. "We want to make sure that it's easy for users to stay-up-to date with everything that's happening, and help them identify what's most important. Confluence 4.2 leverages new social features to guarantee teams are always in-the-know and engaged."
Confluence 4.2 boasts options to label attachments, show appreciation for a coworker's content, or point other developers to popular content such as wiki pages, blog posts, etc. The company says that a selection of "rich page layouts" empower all users of all skill levels to contribute and create engaging content.
"Looking ahead, we're focused on continuing to make Confluence the one place where teams don't just talk about work, but they actually get work done," said Matt Hodges, Atlassian's product marketing manager for Confluence. "We're continuing to invest in rich content creation and now have a renewed focus on social sharing and content discovery, covering all facets of collaboration that lead to real results."

(CNN) -- Following last week's Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 disaster, the carrier says it will offer full refunds to travelers who wish to cancel their tickets, while those wanting to postpone their flights can do so without penalty.
"In light of the MH17 incident, Malaysia Airlines will be waiving any change fees for passengers who wish to make changes to their itinerary to any MH destinations," said the airline in a statement.
This includes non-refundable tickets.

The airline says passengers have until Thursday, July 24 to cancel or change their tickets, valid for travel until December 31, 2014.
Meanwhile, the airline announced that it's retiring the MH17 flight number out of respect for the 298 people killed on the Boeing 777, believed shot down by a missile in rebel-controlled eastern Ukraine last Thursday.
As of July 25, the new flight number for Malaysia Airlines' Amsterdam (AMS) -- Kuala Lumpur (KUL) service will be MH19.
Though such practices are common after a fatal airline accident, they're not mandatory.
Shortly after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went missing in March, the carrier renamed the flight MH318.
"There are no changes to the frequency of our services and we will continue to operate daily services between Amsterdam and Kuala Lumpur," said the airline.
Singapore Airlines apologizes for airspace tweet/FB post
Since the MH17 tragedy, all flights operated by Malaysia Airlines that passed through Ukrainian airspace have been rerouted. Other airlines have taken similar precautions.
"The usual flight route was earlier declared safe by the International Civil Aviation Organization," said Malaysia Airlines.
"International Air Transportation Association has stated that the airspace the aircraft was traversing was not subject to restrictions."
Rival airline Singapore Airlines apologized on Sunday for what many social media users said was an insensitive series of tweets and Facebook postings relating to its own flight path.
"Customers may wish to note that Singapore Airlines flights are not using Ukraine airspace," said the post, which appeared on the airline's Facebook page and Twitter account on July 18.

Customers may wish to note that Singapore Airlines flights are not using Ukraine airspace.— Singapore Airlines (@SingaporeAir) July 17, 2014
Responding to criticism of the post on its Facebook page, the airline responded: "We are aware that our Facebook and Twitter update on Friday morning may have come across as insensitive to some.
"The post was in response to many requests from our customers who had asked for information about our flight routes for their upcoming flights with us.
"We recognize that the information could have been better communicated and we sincerely apologize if it had offended our customers and anyone else in the online community."

Fig. 3 is our first real lick. Now we're playing 16th-notes with a swing feel over a D7 chord and you'll really start to see the reason we try to put chromatic notes on weaker beats. As before, this line follows all of the rules we laid out—all passing tones occur on weak beats. When you play with a swing feel, the strong notes are naturally longer than the weak notes and this creates a serious sense of forward motion and harmonic strength.
We feature another chromatic idea, referred to as an enclosure, in Fig. 4. If you look at the second beat you'll notice the notes G–F–F#, with F# being the note that's targeted. In order to place the target note on a strong beat, I play a note above the target, then one below it, and finally resolve to the intended note. Try spotting all the chromatic notes in this lick and label them as either neighbor tones, passing tones, or enclosures.
Fig. 5 is based out of position four and is rich in encirclement. First we target the 3 (F# on beat 2), then the b7 (C on beat 3), and the 3 again in the second measure. There are also Cmaj7 and Am7 arpeggios here, and both are common diatonic arpeggios to use over a D7. Lastly, Fig. 6 is a hip little phrase that uses most of the ideas presented in this lesson. See if you can spot them and identify where they fall in the bar.
As with anything, it will take a while for this technique to become second nature, but once you're there, you'll be able to slip some more jazz-influenced lines into your classic blues phrases. It doesn't have to be the main feature of your playing, but it's a great tool to have at your disposal.

For even greater convenience and to make the assembly process as straightforward as possible, Intex above ground pools also come with an instructional DVD.
For anyone who is considering the purchase of an Intex above ground pool, it's important to take several considerations into account prior to making your selection. By making an informed decision regarding the specific Intex pool model you purchase, you will be ensuring that your pool will be a good fit for your yard and lifestyle. For example, swimming pool size, placement and primary use are all factors that come into play when purchasing an above ground pool. However, with the help of the following information, everyone should be able to select an Intex above ground pool that will be well suited to their yard, family, needs and preferences.
Before dealing with the features and characteristics of specific Intex pool models, future pool owners should first familiarize themselves with their yard's capability to accommodate a pool. For instance, you will need an area in your yard that is level or can be levelled and you ideally will also want to place your pool in a spot that receives plenty of sunshine and yet is shielded from wind. The dimensions of your yard are also extremely important and will naturally dictate the size of swimming pool that your property can accommodate. When thinking about yard dynamics, other factors to consider include providing easy access from walkways and/or patios and ensuring that any adult supervising swimming children will have a clear and unobstructed view of the pool from the patio, deck or other supervision area.
Once you know where you will be placing your pool and have decided on the size of pool you want, it's time to start examining the different available Intex above ground pool models. Intex above ground swimming pools are available in four basic styles -- Easy Set Pools, Metal Frame Pools, Round Ultra Frame Pools and Rectangular Ultra Frame Pools. All of these Intex pools feature strong, triple-ply sidewalls and will provide many hours of aquatic fun and recreation. However, each individual model also has its own features to consider.

Zucchini and carrots lend color and flavor to this potato hash, which is shaped into patties and fried until crispy. Top the patties with poached eggs and serve with a side of bacon for a complete meal.
Garden Hash Browns with Poached Eggs and Bacon
2 zucchini, about 3/4 lb. total
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more, to taste
2 carrots, about 6 oz. total, peeled
2 russet potatoes, about 1 1/4 lb. total, peeled
2 Tbs. thinly sliced green onions, green portion only
1 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 Tbs. unsalted butter
3 Tbs. canola oil
8 thick-cut bacon slices
8 eggs
Using the fine-grate setting of a food processor or a handheld grater, grate the zucchini. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the 1/2 tsp. salt. Place in a colander set over a bowl and let the zucchini drain for 30 minutes. Using your hands, squeeze out the excess moisture, then transfer the zucchini to a large bowl.
Finely grate the carrots and add to the bowl with the zucchini. Finely grate the potatoes and, using your hands, squeeze out the excess moisture. Add the potatoes to the bowl. Stir in the green onions, parsley and beaten egg, and season with salt and pepper.
Preheat an oven to 200°F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet.
In a griddle over medium heat, melt 2 Tbs. of the butter with 2 Tbs. of the oil. When the foam subsides, scoop out 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture, lightly squeeze out any excess moisture with your hands and form a patty about 3 inches in diameter. Gently place the patty on the griddle. Repeat to form 3 more patties. Fry the patties until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the patties over and fry until golden on the other side and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes more. Transfer the patties to the rack-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat to form 4 more patties and fry them in the remaining 1 Tbs. butter and 1 Tbs. oil.
In a grill pan over medium heat, fry the bacon until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Meanwhile, fill an egg-poaching pan two-thirds full with water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Crack an egg into each cup and gently simmer until the whites are set, about 4 minutes. Using a small offset spatula, transfer the eggs to a plate and dab off any excess moisture with a paper towel. Repeat to poach the remaining 4 eggs.
Place 2 hash brown patties on each of 4 warmed plates. Top each patty with a poached egg and serve the bacon alongside. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

Wow. Who saw this one coming? I'm sure a few people did, but surprisingly, not me. I mean, it is a bit of a surprise. The inductees of most recent years have been so much more traditional. Charlie Daniels and Josh Turner were the last two. Now, Carrie Underwood I believe should have been chosen when "Jesus Take the Wheel" was at its highest peak. That is a song in itself should get you an invitation. Why now? Good question, but overall I think she will be an excellent member of the Grand Ole Opry.
What I hope her induction will lead her to though is a strong reminder and re-focus on traditional country music. Learn from the role models by talking to them, watching their performances, and applying it to her career. I believe that she can be one of the most talented country music performers in the business if she re-dedicates herself to it and not try so hard to be both country and pop. Before the hate mail begins, I do believe Underwood is a very talented country performer, however, I believe she can be even more of a powerhouse.
She will become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry on May 10, 2008. Randy Travis extended the invitation last week as she performed "I Told You So," a cover of Travis.

By Igor Volsky/Think Progress
During a Budget Committee Hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) announced that the Affordable Care Act — which had been projected to reduce the deficit by billions over 10 years — would actually increase long-term debt by $6.2 trillion, undermining administration claims that the law would expand coverage to millions of Americans and help reign in federal spending.
"A new government report dramatically proves that the promises made assuring the nation that the largest new entitlement program in history since Medicare — the president's health care program — would not add a dime to the long or short term debt of America was false," Sessions said, referring to a recently released study from the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
"The results of this report confirm everything critics and Republicans have been saying about the health care bill and reveal the dramatic falsehoods that were used to push it to passage." He went on:
SESSIONS: According to the GAO under a realistic set of assumptions the health care law will increase the deficit by 7/10th percent of GDP or roughly $6.2 trillion over the next 75 years. $6.2 trillion unfunded liability of the United States. In other words, the GAO reveals that the big tax increases in the bill come nowhere close to covering the massive spending.
Watch it:
How is it possible that one report — requested by Sessions — conflicts so starkly with almost all other government assessments to confirm Republican talking points about the law? It's simple: Sessions designed it that way.
The Alabama senator asked the office to estimate would would happen if the cost containment provisions in the law — the Independent Payment Advisory Board, excise tax on high-cost plans, and reductions in Medicare payments to providers — are "phased out over time" while the coverage provisions remain. Unsurprisingly, the GAO concluded that if the portions of the law that were specifically designed to keep costs under control don't go into effect, then the law won't be effective in lowering health care costs. Sessions is touting the government expenditures included in the law — the affordability credits and Medicaid expansion — while ignoring its cost savings. The same report concluded that if "both the expansion of health care coverage and the full implementation and effectiveness of the cost-containment provisions" are sustained, "there was notable improvement in the longer-term outlook."
To be sure, economists disagree on how best to implement the law's cost containment provisions. The GAO report notes that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Office of the Actuary has found that providers will not be able to "improve their own productivity to the degree achieved by the economy in large," proving the savings to be unsustainable. Other economists, however, contend that the actuary doesn't score savings from preventive care and system modernization and estimate that if those factors are included, the annual growth rate in national health expenditures falls significantly.
The responses of individuals, employers, insurance companies, and Exchange administrators may be hard to predict and Congress may have to adjust the law and its cost containment mechanisms. But for a senator to design a study that purposely underplays the law's cost controls is not only disingenuous, but also fundamentally misleading and dishonest.

@Munkus Beaver - You're a pro. Yeah, it was just about exactly 9 hours. Of which 8 of them I was practically dying of thirst, but they couldn't give me anything to drink.
Yet when I had to drink the solution for the CAT scan it was mixed with water (then I had a shitty reaction to it). I pointed that out and asked if I couldn't get a little and they said no.
Evidently I had a combination of food poisoning and "a horrible case of the flu" apparently.
It will likely be a long time before I look at seafood or hollandaise the same. Just thinking of either makes me almost retch. :S
I still feel shitty, though not nearly as bad as then, obviously.
The reason for the "No water" thing is "Just in case we have to do emergency surgery" because having any amount of stuff in your stomach will be an issue.
Of course, one nurse once said "We can't give water to patients being admitted in the ER, sir." She then opened a cupboard which had clearly visible plastic cups and walked out of the room.
EDIT: How long was your wait time in the ER before you got seen?
EDIT2: I'm guessing you drank the barium solution to make your intestines more visible? Tastes like shit and you basically have to chug the shit quick, and one thing every 15 minutes?
Not too long before I saw the nurse, although it was about 30-45 minutes before I got an IV after the triage doctor.
Yeah, I dunno why the barium fucked with me this time, but it made me pretty sick.
@Theidar Oh... see that's actually pretty useful information. Still sucks, but now at least I know.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Monday, February 11, 2008
Barbara Bradley: "I began by drawing early and often"
I am grateful for her revealing commentary, which will help all of us better appreciate the nature of the business - and really, of society - as it was half a century ago... and how things may (or may not) have changed since those days:
Like many illustrators (but not ALL!), I began by drawing early and often. My first drawings that were kept were drawn when I was about three. The subject was Mae West, a pattern that, interesting enough, remains true to this day: the love of drawing people in storytelling clothing, full of expressions in face and body. I'm still grateful to a long forgotten kindergarten teacher who called my parents to school to discuss my drawing ability. She warned them never to allow a teacher to try to change my left-handedness or the direction of my paper. Neither parent was artistic so they didn't understand where it came from. But they were all for it. They were proud and also supportive but they were nervous because "artist" meant "fine artist". Commercial art was OK to them. Fortunately for me, almost all of the artists whose work I admired were illustrators. Though I didn't know even know the term "illustrator", I knew I wanted be one of them.
My favorite comic strip artists as a child were Hal Foster (Prince Valiant) and Milton Caniff (Terry and the Pirates). Even thought the subjects were men, my most influential artist was probably Lyle Justis, whose illustrated "Treasure island" (below) I repeatedly read (and subconsciously studied). These artists all drew great legs, something I've loved to draw for years. Thank you, Hal, Milton, and Lyle. It wasn't until college years that I saw the work of such illustrator giants as NC Wyeth and Arthur Rackham.
Movies were a constant source of inspiration for me. Using my favorite Mongol colored pencils, I filled drawing tablets with Maid Marions, Marie Antoinettes, and contemporary ultra-fashionable ladies. I never drew from life but somehow from observation or figuring gestures out. (Drawing from one's imagination usually really means drawing from what has been observed and mentally recorded.)
Colored pencils were a great medium for this kid. Once I discovered the trick of "shading" one side of a shape cooler and one warmer, I could win any coloring contest in sight. I then tried the same with watercolors. It was one of these contests that won me a short-term Saturday class scholarship at a San Francisco Art School, run by a clever female Commercial Artist. I learned a great deal about technique there; about illustration board, transferring pencil drawings, watercolors, rubber cement, and the wonderfulness of a Winsor-Newton series 7 sable brush. We worked from photographs only... no drawing from live models. (That had to wait 'til Art Center) I stayed on there during my high school years; I was exposed to very few magazines at home so it was there that I learned of Jon Whitcomb. He, with his starry-eyed glittery shiny haired women, immediately became my God. However, in a short while, his place on the pedestal was taken over by Al Parker, who has held it ever since.
I learned so much from that little place but my memories are marred by realizing how unethical were some of her practices. Still in high school, I not only taught Saturday classes for younger kids but also ghost-illustrated work for her. The parents whose kids were taught by another kid were cheated. I did one storewide Santa Claus Christmas campaign for her for a chain shoe store. She gave me an $18.75 War Bond, I got a thrill from seeing my work in print, but, in retrospect, it was still exploitation.
The person from those days to whom I am still most grateful was my high school yearbook advisor, physics teacher Robert Barry. He took his personal time to seek advice for me, the clueless yearbook art editor, on where to get appropriate training for illustration. These pieces above and below were done for a circus-themed high school yearbook. I was about 16. What a commentary on the times, as well as how much I had to learn.
From the engraver who did the yearbook plates, Mr. Barry learned of Patterson and Hall, the best professional art studio in San Francisco. He arranged for me to have a review of my work by Mr. Patterson and even took me to the appointment himself. There, I learned of Art Center in Pasadena, the place from which I eventually did go on for my art education. Thank you, wherever you are, Mr. Barry.
However, three years of study at UC Berkeley preceded Art Center. One class in the Art Department, during which the idea of illustration was so scorned, was enough. From then on I took other courses, so many of which provided valuable background for an illustrator: Art History; History of Architecture, of Interiors, of Costume; History, Lit, Ancient Civilizations. I met my first husband at Cal where we worked on providing posters for Cal Clubs. He did the lettering and layout and I did the cute sexy gals.
We married, moved to LA to Art Center. I planned to attend only one summer, and then finish at UCLA. One semester of Art got me hooked and I stayed. In fact, though a few years ago The Academy awarded me an honorary doctorate, I never did receive a BA. Seven years of college and no BA. Hah! Though Art Center didn't award degrees in those days, it was just what I needed. It was full of WW II vets, all of whom were serious about making up time. The competition was fierce. It was there that we heard Norman Rockwell speak, also speaking so admiringly of Al Parker.
I seldom felt any prejudice at Art Center about being a woman. Again, in retrospect, one or two of the teachers may not have taken me as seriously as they did the men, but that may have been because they related more to male-oriented subjects than to the subjects I leaned toward. One tended to get more respect by drawing well. Good drawing is often more impressive than good layout, ideas, etc, even to fellow art students, who should have known better. I laugh remembering one of my favorite perches for drawing, sitting atop two drawing benches, on piled over the other. I loved a high eye level. Now I couldn't even climb to board them.
(The Band piece below was an AC portfolio piece.)
When it came time to leave, there was no doubt in our minds that we had to go to New York. Some grads thought about going to Chicago. I now realize what great work was coming out of Chicago. However, at the time, working in Chicago seemed comparable to becoming a nurse instead of a doctor.
About portfolios… I think too many young graduates expect that their portfolios should consist of the best work they have done at Art College. I believe that it should represent the best that they can do by they time that they graduate. Often, a piece done earlier that has good ideas, research, etc, and is short on execution or whatever, can be redone in a comparatively short amount of time. In addition, one should take a hard look at a portfolio, looking for weaknesses or areas that do not represented what one can do. We spent about two solid months reworking our portfolios. It was worth it. We got the jobs we wanted, where we wanted them. Our portfolios got us to the places where we could keep on learning.
Barbara Bradley received the 2007 Outstanding Educator in the Arts Award from the Society of Illustrators. She is the retired Director of Illustration at the Academy of Art University. The Academy has created a blog, thankyoubarbarabradley.com in her honor. She is also the subject of an in-depth interview and related article by Neil Shapiro in the current issue of Illustration magazine.

Wow, those two pieces she drew at the age of 16 are amazing! What natural talent!ReplyDelete
Great article. I had Barbara as an instructor at the Academy of Art, and she was an inspiration. Illustration lives in her soul.ReplyDelete
It was a great honor to have studied under Barbara Bradley at the San Francisco Academy of Art in the late 1980s and I exercise my bragging rights often.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the "tough love" knowledge Mrs. Bradley. It has served me well for many years.
Brian Clarke
Like Les Toil, I must express my bragging rights as well. I am probably one of Barbara's earliest students at the Academy of Art. It was 1958, and I believe it was her first year teaching there, and my first year as a young wide eyed student. Barbara, along with a few other excellent teachers, helped shape my future as a successful illustrator for the next 40 years. She was a very dedicated and informative teacher, and I am proud to have had the privilege of having her as an instructor. And, needless to say, her talent as an illustrator is huge. I also enjoy very much, our recently renewed e-mail friendship.ReplyDelete

Hi Tom, I wanted to reply to you because I was part of Barbara's final classes. I was fortunate enough to be allowed to take her course a bit in early in my schooling. Her expectations were very high, but fair and I'm in her debt for sharing all of her considerable artistic knowledge.Delete

LEIF...Fine blog, fine bio, charming illustrations. What a talent! Can't believe I don't recall her work. Our paths must have crossed several times, San Francisco, P&H, Art Center, etc. Great figure illustator...and her high school year book illustrations were light years better than mine! Thanks a lot.... Chas.ReplyDelete

Wonderful art by Barbara Bradley, and wonderful commentary on her development-- five stars!ReplyDelete
I am one of the world's biggest Lyle Justis fans, too, by the way . . .
When is the redoubtable John Fleskes going to do one of his books on L.J.?
I would burn my fingers getting my wallet out to buy it!
Beautiful work, Barbara.
( Norman Mallory)
I am also lucky enough to be able to say that Barbara was my teacher (92-97). She was so totally passionate about drawing and the form and I've never known anyone else more committed to teaching. The lessons I learned from her will stay with me always and I am so grateful to have known her.ReplyDelete
Thank you Barbara.

I was looking after the Lyle Justis work. I have the Treasure Island book in spanish, with Lyle ilustrations. I really love it!
Fun to read. I heard a lot of stories about Lyle Justis while I was growing up. While at the Philadelphia Sketch Club my father became good friends with both of the Justis's and I've been fortunate to inherit both a sketch and an illustration (unpublished). Peter Boyle was a part of their little group, as well.ReplyDelete
Thanks for keeping his name alive.Replies

Barbara had a serious talent with an enquiring mind about human affairs and a generous personality. i met her in london i think it was 1994 at BA summer school at camberwell art school .she was a dream of a teacher she restored my faith in my designy abilities. i wont forget her-Delete

Image of an Bill Reid's bear sculpture, taken at the University of British Columbia. This sculpture is part of MOA's object collection.
Dr. Walter Koerner commissioned Reid to make this sculpture for his personal collection. It was originally commissioned for his backyard garden, but Koerner decided it looked too large for the space so he donated it to UBC. It was installed on the UBC campus in 1963, in the woods near International House. A bronze plaque made for that location reads: Haida Bear by Bill Reid Presented to UBC by Walter C. Koerner 1963. At some point, after the new Museum building was built, the bear was transferred to MOA and moved indoors.

As the holiday season nears its peak, we take a look at some of the most important travel-planning tips. Also, check some of our tricks to help you get the best deal for airline and accommodation booking with minimal effort.
Step 1: Fix the Location
This should be one of the easiest things to do. I am sure as you read this, you already have quite a few options in your mind on where your next trip will be.
Step 2: Time It
Plan the timing of your visit with care. For example, if you plan a trip to Goa ( a tropical get-away in India), you will be faced with exorbitant rates around Christmas time up till new year. However, if you check the prices during the monsoons, you will find that you can arrange steals from some of the best hotels there.
Check for free days for your trip too. For example, many cities have free museum visits on certain days of the year.
Step 3: Look for Flight Fares
Social media is a beautiful thing when it comes to arranging fares. With Twitter and Facebook, you can find many deals if you spend some time looking.
Flight booking tip: There is no point making your booking extremely early on. Ideally, you will plan your trip, but only book your flight around 3 to 6 weeks in advance for local trips, and about 3 to 4 months in advance for international tips. At this stage use Bing.com/travel, it is one of the best fare predictors that I have come across.
Confirm that you are getting the best deal for your flight by comparing prices with global aggregators like Mobissimo, Skyscanner or Momondo.
Currency conversion tip: It is good to remember the importance of currency conversion for international trips. For example, as the US Dollar is far stronger than the Indian Rupee it makes sense to look for tickets on kayak.co.in rather than kayak.com. However, if you plan a trip to the UK, because of the Pound's higher value, stick to looking at the US site.
Alternate travel means tip: When you are travelling locally to multiple destinations, look for alternative transport means, if you have the time. For example, in some countries exchanging your two-hour flight for an overnight trip by bus or train will save you a lot more money.
Step 4: Look for Accommodation
If you are not averse to couch surfing or doing the odd home-sitting job, check some sites like House Carers, CouchSurfing, Mind My House and Home Exchange. There are plenty of interesting options other than the hotel+flight deals you may get on sites like Kayak (that searches through Orbitz, Priceline, and many more), Makemytrip, Chepoair, Google and Travelocity to name a few. Accommodation at hostels and Bed-and-Breakfasts in many locations is far less expensive than hotels.
If you plan to travel during the non-peak season though, checking hotel prices is a good option.
Step 5: Book your Fares
I recommend doing the actual booking of the flight on the airline site itself. You may find that the prices are slightly lower, plus in case of any last-minute changes it is easier to deal with an airline if you say that you booked from their website itself. Remember to use the currency conversion tip here as well.
Based on reports, it is best to make your booking on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening, as that is when tickets are supposedly priced at their lowest for the week. Remember the flight booking tip here as well.
According to the WSJ,
Rick Seaney, chief executive of FareCompare.com, studied three years worth of airline prices and concluded that 3 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday was the best time to buy.
If you are a student, you may have special concessions. This varies from airline-to-airline. Also, there is a lot said about airline miles. Though I am a novice, I can still say that it works. You have to remember that there are multiple ways of collecting miles in addition to actually travelling.
If you are staying at a hotel, don't forget to check if you can avail a free upgrade. At worst they will say no, so there is no loss. This applies to anything, You Don't Know Until You Ask.

Sword lily
Gladiolus species
Plants of Home and Garden
Plant corm in rich, well-draining soil, 4-6" apart, after last frost. May try soaking 24 hours before planting. Water, but sparingly, and provide good light. Growing plants often require staking for support. Most plants half-hardy to zones 9-10 only; see exceptions below
Dig corms after the first frost kills the leaves, rub off soil and remove remaining foliage. Allow to mature at room temperature several weeks, then remove old corm, and mature another week or two. Store dark, dry and unprotected, cool but not freezing
Gladiolus byzantinus, Gladiolus communis, Gladiolus italicus and Gladiolus nanus are fairly hardy, and can be grown outside. Plant in the fall, some 3" deep in a protected warm spot. Well-draining rich soil ideal; protect with mulch in the winter. Gladiolus communis and Gladiolus italicus hardy to zone 5

Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House
A day in summer, a night in suspense. A letter unanswered, a quarrel between friends. A bullet.
Eugene Onegin is the journey from what could be to what might have been. In between lies the tragedy.
Danish director Kasper Holten's intriguing new production portrays Tatyana and Onegin as two dreamers whose lives drift and dance around each other, at the mercy of capricious breezes.
How is it that a youthful crush becomes a matter of life and death?
Kasper Holten is a self-confessed opera nerd.
Smitten by Carmen at nine, he spent his youth building opera houses from Lego, and by the age of twelve had mounted his first Ring Cycle, featuring a distinguished cast of puppets and complete with surtitles.
Now Holten, who turns 40 this year, holds one of the key positions in the world of opera: artistic director of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
Holten's first offering at the Royal Opera is Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, a co-production with the Teatro Regio, Turin and Opera Australia. It is an opera he feels passionate about:
"Onegin is not about kings or princes or faraway magic and gods. It's about real people. About something with which we can really identify. And that, for me, gives Onegin a very special yet fragile quality."
"Tchaikovsky didn't want this to be a grand opera. It needs to have a very direct communication with the audience. And if I can't make the audience cry, if I can't make the audience be in love again, then I've somehow failed."
Eugene Onegin is an exploration of memory, of the aching nostalgia for what might have been.
This production creates layers of reminiscence and regret using some ingenious stage devices which have challenged and delighted audiences.
Whatever you make of his unique approach, Holten's directorial debut with Opera Australia brings a devastingly handsome production to our shores, and a devastatingly handsome cast including Nicole Car as Tatyana, Konstantin Gorny as Prince Gremin and, in his Australian debut, Slovak baritone Dalibor Jenis as Onegin.
Co-production with the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London and Fondazione Teatro Regio, Turin.

Running time: approx two hours and forty minutes with one twenty-minute interval.
Act 1
Scene 1: The garden of the Larin country estate
Madame Larina and the nurse Filippyevna are sitting outside in the garden. They can hear Madame Larina's two daughters, Tatyana and her younger sister Olga, singing a love song. Madame Larina begins to reminisce about her own courtship and marriage. A group of peasants enter, and celebrate the harvest with songs and dances. Tatyana and Olga watch. Tatyana has been reading a romantic novel and is absorbed by the story; her carefree sister, on the other hand, wants to join in the celebrations. Madame Larina tells Tatyana that real life is very different from her novels. Filippyevna announces that visitors have arrived: Olga's fiancé Lensky, a young poet, and his friend Eugene Onegin, visiting the area from St Petersburg. The pair are shown in and Lensky introduces Onegin to the Larin family. Onegin is initially surprised that Lensky has chosen the extrovert Olga rather than her more subtle elder sister as his fiancée. Tatyana for her part is immediately and strongly attracted to Onegin. Lensky expresses his delight at seeing Olga and she responds flirtatiously. Onegin tells Tatyana of his boredom in the country and describes the death of his uncle and his subsequent inheritance of a nearby estate. Filippyevna recognizes that Onegin has had a profound effect on Tatyana.
Scene 2: Tatyana's room
Tatyana is dressed for bed. Restless and unable to sleep, she asks her nurse Filippyevna to tell her about her youth and early marriage. Tatyana confesses that she is in love. Left alone, Tatyana pours out her feelings in a letter to Onegin. She tells him that she loves him and believes that she will never feel this way about anyone else, and begs him to understand and help her. She finishes writing the letter at dawn. A shepherd's pipe is heard in the distance. Filippyevna enters the room to wake Tatyana. Tatyana persuades her to send her grandson to deliver the letter to Onegin.
Scene 3: Another part of the estate
Servant girls pick fruit and sing as they work. Tatyana waits anxiously for Onegin's arrival. Onegin enters to see Tatyana and give her his answer to her letter. He explains, not unkindly, that he is not a man who loves easily and is unsuited to marriage. He is unworthy of her love and can only offer her brotherly affection. He warns Tatyana to be less emotionally open in future. The voices of the servant girls singing are heard again. Tatyana is crushed and unable to reply.
Act 2
Scene 1: The ballroom of the Larin house
A ball is being given in honour of Tatyana, whose name day it is. Onegin is dancing with her. He grows irritated with a group of neighbours who gossip about him and Tatyana, and with Lensky for persuading him to come to the ball. He decides to avenge himself by dancing and flirting with Olga. Lensky is astounded and becomes extremely jealous. He confronts Olga but she cannot see that she has done anything wrong and tells Lensky not to be ridiculous. Onegin asks Olga to dance with him again and she agrees, as "punishment" for Lensky's jealousy. The elderly French tutor Monsieur Triquet sings some couplets in honour of Tatyana, after which the quarrel between Lensky and Onegin becomes more intense. Lensky renounces his friendship with Onegin in front of all the guests, and challenges Onegin to a duel, which the latter is forced, with many misgivings, to accept. Tatyana collapses and the ball ends in confusion.
Scene 2: On the banks of a wooded stream, early morning
Lensky is waiting for Onegin with his second Zaretsky. Lensky reflects on his life, his fear of death and his love for Olga. Onegin arrives with his manservant Guillot. Both Lensky and Onegin are reluctant to go ahead with the duel, reflecting on the senselessness of their sudden enmity. But it is too late; neither man has the courage to stop the duel. Zaretsky gives them the signal and Onegin shoots Lensky dead.
Act 3
Scene 1: The house of a rich nobleman in St Petersburg
Years have passed, during which Onegin has travelled extensively around Europe. Standing alone at a ball, he reflects on the emptiness of his life and his remorse over the death of Lensky. Prince Gremin enters with Tatyana, his wife, now a grand, aristocratic beauty. She is greeted by many of the guests with great deference. Onegin is taken aback when he sees Tatyana, and deeply impressed by her beauty and noble bearing. Tatyana, in turn, is overwhelmed with emotion when she recognises him. Gremin tells Onegin about his great happiness and love for Tatyana, and re-introduces Onegin to his wife. Onegin, suddenly injected with new life, realizes that he is in love with Tatyana. He determines to write to her and arrange a meeting.
Scene 2: A room in Prince Gremin's house
Tatyana has received Onegin's letter, which has stirred up the passion she felt for him as a young girl and disturbed her. Onegin enters. Tatyana recalls her earlier feelings and asks why Onegin is pursuing her now. Is it because of her social position? Onegin denies any cynical motivation: his passion is real and overwhelming. Tatyana, moved to tears, reflects how near they once were to happiness but nevertheless asks him to leave. He asks her to have pity. Tatyana admits she still loves Onegin, but asserts that their union can never be realized, as she is now married, and determined to remain faithful to her husband despite her true feelings. Onegin implores her to relent, but she bids him farewell forever, leaving him alone and in despair.

Stocks: What goes up must come down?January 31, 2013: 11:49 AM ET
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Paul R. La Monica. Other than Time Warner, the parent of CNNMoney, Abbott Laboratories and AbbVie, La Monica does not own positions in any individual stocks.
Investors are giddy. The Dow and S&P 500 are near all-time highs. Don't ask about the Nasdaq though. (It's kind of like mentioning "the war" to the Germans on Fawlty Towers. Still a sore spot for many tech investors.)
But even though there are compelling reasons why the market could keep heading higher for awhile, investors should start to feel more afraid than excited.
Related: Why aren't investors scared?
Here's a cautionary tale. Only two stocks in the Dow are down so far this year. One is Boeing (BA). But it's only off 1% and it's obvious why the stock has taken a hit: the 787 Dreamliner flaming battery issues.
The other stock that's in the red, even though the Dow is up 6% (in one month!) and flirting with 14,000? Bank of America (BAC). It has fallen more than 2%. Not drastic, but worth noting considering that the rest of the market is acting like it's juiced on deer antler spray.
Now here's the thing. Bank of America isn't down because of any significant problem the way that Boeing is. BofA has pulled back because its fourth quarter earnings, while good, were not great enough to live up to the market's lofty hopes. BofA shares more than doubled last year.
To keep climbing, the bank will have to prove to investors that all of its legal problems are behind it and that its balance sheet is now squeaky clean. Not yet.
When stocks go on insane tears over a short period of time, it gets tougher and tougher to satisfy the short-term demands of Wall Street. To quote Sir Isaac Newton's line about the apple falling from the tree: What goes up must come down.
Speaking of that Biblical forbidden fruit, Apple (AAPL) has clearly become a victim of its own success as well. It's preposterous to assert that the company is in trouble but investors clearly are disappointed that growth is not as strong as it was just a year ago. And Facebook (FB) is struggling to live up to Dickensian Great Expectations today, even though the social network reported profits and sales that topped forecasts and incredibly strong growth.
When you take a look at some of the top performers in the S&P 500 this year, you have to wonder just how much higher these companies can go before pulling back ... especially since many of them still have long-term question marks regarding their fundamentals. Staples (SPLS), Chesapeake Energy (CHK) and Morgan Stanley (MS) are all up about 20% in January? Netflix (NFLX) up 75%?
Related: The 'dumb' money may not be so dumb
Momentum is fickle. It's a word that rhymes with ditch. And it can turn on a dime. Just look at Research in Motion (RIMM).
Shares of RIM, which will soon change its name to BlackBerry and its ticker to BBRY, had skyrocketed in the months leading up to yesterday's launch of its long-awaited BlackBerry 10 operating system and the two new phones that will run on it. But all of a sudden, sentiment went from extremely bullish (It's going to save the company and make them a market leader!) to decidedly bearish (The Z10 isn't that cool. Same old BlackBerry).>
RIM shares fell 6% Thursday and have plummeted nearly 30% just this week! But despite the BlackBerry bloodletting of the past few days, the stock is still up about 10% year-to-date.
So what does this all mean? I'm not predicting an imminent end of the bull market and the start of an awful bear run like the one we had in 2000-2002 or 2008. But investors have to start preparing for the possibility that the market will, at the very least, cool off. CNNMoney's Fear & Greed Index has been in Extreme Greed territory all year. That is not sustainable.
With the average investor once again flocking back to the market, we need to watch what's happening to BofA and Apple and remember that all stocks are subject to the same whims of Wall Street. I know Radiohead's Thom Yorke wasn't singing about the market in "Fake Plastic Trees." But a line from that mournful tune sums up my thoughts on this parabolic market best.
Gravity always wins.

Product Reviews
PowerBait Power Eggs Floating Magnum is rated out of 5 by 44.
Rated 5 out of 5 by YesinDD from Multiple hits I live in Seattle And let me tell you... Power Bait has really opened my choices on bait, i really love using the bubblegum pink floating eggs. I caught my daily limit on four eggs and couldn't believe the results, I mean wow sinker rig 4 to 5 foot leader in a lake. Thats right no stream or river fishing just lake fishing. I don't care what people say about real baits. " its all about catching fish and having a good time" if it takes fake bait then so be it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HistoryMan from Just bait and cast away! I had never really been a big "artificial bait guy" until now. Three days of not catching a fish or getting hardly a nibble convinced me to give it a try. Caught my limit of Rainbow Trout in 45 minutes on the same three eggs (hidden value)!!! Only takes seconds to bait, no mess, no fuss and it delivers. It's made me curious enough to try other power bait products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Datrunkmonkey from Worked very well on trout Just got back from a trip on the White River in Northern Arkansas. They loved this stuff. I think it worked great. You sometimes have to change colors along, according to conditions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NORSEWARRIOR from Guaranteed to limit out I live in Oregon and we have a limit of 5 fish. I use 3 different colors depending on how much light there is. Chartreuse is great for low light cause it kinda has some speckles in it and the fish slam it, sunrise is good for more light, and bubble gum is the best for high light. I just caught 4 fish yesterday and the only reason I didn't get my fifth is that I had already started getting a sunburn and ran out of drinking water. This stuff slays fish like no other.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fishjunke from Awesome Fish Action I used to use this in Oregon and it was awesome for fast action catches. When I got to Alaska I had to change colors. Here in the interior they like the pink, bubblegum and salmon egg red. All three have helped me land good fish and see lots of action on the water. Most people here use lures but I out fish them with the power eggs every time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Was fishing for trout and what do you know... I bought this a few trips back but didn't fish them much so I decided to give them a little more time on my line. I didn't catch the trout(probably to warm out) but the catfish sure do love them. I use the flor. yellow because I feel it catches the most fish. Sure enough the yellow in garlic scent work as well. P.s. The scent on these eggs are sure strong and last the whole time you fish with them meaning no need to recharge.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fieldboss14 from Awesome!!!!! I only use this bait for trout! Slays anything out there bait wise for trout! In Texas trout get stocked during the winter and normally bag out at 5 in about a half hour.
Date published: 2017-12-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by Troutman63 from A Great Product! I started using Power Eggs a few years ago because I can't stand using salmon eggs (they fall of the hook and fall apart all together after one cast when they hit the water) . I started off with the 'Bubblegum'. Then Berkley came out with the more recent color 'Salmon Egg Red'! Think about the irony. Works great with river/stream rainbow trout in the California. Excellent!

Robe at Frankfurt 2010
Robe lighting gets 2010 off to a proactive start with 11 new product launches on stand C35 in Hall 11.1 at Prolight+Sound Frankfurt 2010
The popular new generation ROBIN Series of moving lights is expanded to include a powerful and versatile 600 range and a Classic 300 range of fully-featured value-conscious units.
The ColorBeam 2500E AT is added to Robe's AT Series, taking the concept of concentrated high powered lightsources into a new dimension, and Light4ce is a new robust and very bright range of indoor and outdoor LED fixtures.
ColorBeam 2500E AT™
Following the phenomenal success of Robe's ColorBeam 700E AT, a brand new high powered ColorBeam 2500E AT™ fixture is launched – and becomes the most powerful moving head yet to be designed and produced by Robe.
ColorBeam 2500E AT™ delivers an exceptionally bright and intense beam light output, and is designed for the large scale applications where extremely powerful tight beam-effect fixtures are required. A Multi-step zoom facility provides variable beam size from between 1.5 and 10 degrees. Rotating gobos and rotating prisms can be used to create spectacular mid-air effects and there is also full CMY/CTO and variable frost for creating fabulous washing effects in a wide variety of colours.
This very exciting product has been developed in response to feedback from designers and specifiers of all types, and is in a class of it's own.
It uses a compact high-pressure Philips MSR Gold 1500 FastFit metal halide lamp and has a dichroic glass reflector for maximising the light efficiency.
ColorSpot 1200E AT Profile™
The Profile version of Robe's flagship ColorSpot 1200E AT series drew a lot of interest from theatre and TV market after its preview at the last PLASA show.
On top of many features and functions of ColorSpot 1200E AT it has inbuilt modular framing shutters that enable the fixture to be used like any standard profile discharge lightsource, when very precise framing and pin-pointing of objects and areas onstage is required.
For full flexibility, the framing shutter module uses 4 rotating blades, and the final framed image can also be rotated. A newly included linear variable frost allows smooth scene transitions and blends.
ROBIN® 600E Spot
The ROBIN 600E Spot has an incredibly bright light output - thanks to a special optical system and new Philips 575W discharge lamp it is giving the same or higher output than 700W fixtures on the market today, which makes it also a super energy-efficient. The very strong light-output can be maximised by using ROBE's unique HotSpot Control system together with the linear iris to create very powerful beam effects. The hot spot intensity is even brighter than that of 1200W fixtures!
An innovative patented cooling system ensures the best lamp operating temperatures and allows DMX controlled noise reduction. Users have complete control of all features on this fixture, making it ideal for environments where noise levels are critical and light output requirements are high.
The lightsource is a brand new compact high-pressure metal halide Philips MSR Gold 575/2 MiniFastFit lamp, just launched at the Frankfurt show.
ROBIN® 600E Wash
The ROBIN 600E Wash also features a fantastic light output and lower power requirements – thanks to the new 575W lamp and optimized optical path comprising of carefully selected components.
A unique silent control system enables users to carefully adjust the desired noise levels while maintaining the best lamp operating temperatures, due to the newly patented lamp cooling system.
All "top hat" accessories are compatible with the new ROBIN 600E Wash fixture.
ROBIN® 600E Beam
The ROBIN 600E Beam has an amazing linear iris ranging between 1 and 6.5 degrees.
By implementing this feature over a wider range, users can have full control over the beam size. It has also enabled the provision of more gobos in the gobo wheels for customizable beam shaping. Two 'black-hole' positions are available for a full and fast blackout in dark-sensitive environments.
The extended focusing range also allows for very precise focusing, starting with the closer distances.
Robe's ROBIN 'Classic' series offers all the functionality and quality engineering of the ROBIN brand in a compact and cost-effective package ideal for multiple applications.
ROBIN® 300 Beam Classic
The Robin 300 Beam Classic uses a Philips MSD Gold 300/2 Mini FastFit lamp and has a beam angle of 1.5 °– 6.5 °, complete with dichroic glass reflector for maximising the light output.
There is a colour wheel with 7 replaceable 'Slot&Lock' dichroic filters, plus both static and rotating gobo wheels.
A variable frost effect ensures a smooth transition in effect from a beam light to a regular wash light and there is also full dimming, variable strobe effect and pan/tilt of 540/260 degrees.
The lamp is a compact high-pressure metal halide Philips MSD Gold 300/2 MiniFastFit
ROBIN® 300 Spot Classic
This fixture has a host of specially designed modular features including a 12°–36° zoom, colour wheel, rotating gobo wheel, colour/gobo wheel, rotating prism and many others.
The ROBIN 300 Spot Classic is a punchy profile fixture with features such as linear zoom, a full package of rotating gobos, colour – gobo wheel including 4 colours and 5 static gobos and a standard colour wheel.
Up to 24 colour mixes can be achieved with a combination of the colour and colour/gobo wheels.
ROBIN® 300 Wash Classic
This is a flexible, lightweight, silent fixture with a zoom range of 10 °– 35 °. The compact dimensions of the ROBIN 300 Wash Classic make it easy to conceal in smaller spaces and for more discreet installations, whilst providing an extremely efficient light output and a stunning colour range from the gentlest of pastels to the richest of saturates.
The enhanced CMS system mixes real colour correction quickly and accurately. The 7+1 colour wheel with its easily replaceable magnetic positions can spin rainbow effects at high and low speeds.
Robe uses its considerable expertise and resources in LED manufacture to launch Light4ce - a new series of LED products.
LEDForce LED PARs have been developed to complement and/or replace conventional PARs in clubs, installations, rental applications and any other market needing a true "workhorse" fixture. Bringing all the advantages of low power, LEDForce products are virtually maintenance free and have a massively longer life expectancy than conventional PARs.
LEDForce 7™ RGB/RGBW
This unit utilises a new compact tri-colour and quad-colour LED technology driven by a 7 x 3 in 1 RGB LED or a 7 x 3 in 1 RGBW LED multichip, all in a tough small housing.
The fixture features a very bright beam, smooth homogenised colour mixing with no pixelating or multi-colour shadows.
LEDForce 18 eXterior™ RGB/RGBW & LEDForce 18™ RGB/RGBW
This fixture also uses tri-colour and quad-colour LED technology with an 18 x 3 in 1 RGB LED or an 18 x 3 in 1 RGBW LED multichip.
It is IP 65 rated for external use, and has superior colour mixing with no multi-colour shadows. The extremely bright beam has a 25° angle, and it's housed in a tough aluminium die cast shell.
The LEDForce 18™ RGB/RGBW fixture is an indoor unit with exactly the same spec as the LEDForce 18 eXterior™ RGB/RGBW.
In addition to all these launches, Robe will be showing a new range of Fog & Haze machines on its stylish and busy stand - C35 in Hall 11.1 - including the CitySkape 48™, the CitySkape Xtreme™ and the CitySource 96™ architectural LED fixtures and the hugely popular ColorBeam 700E AT™, all of which have been enormous successes since their release 6 months ago.
