We aren't fresh out of school novices with zero business experience and real world chutzpah to confidently tell you what works and what doesn't.

We tell you what you need and more importantly we also tell you what you don't need. We're humble. Not really. But we thought that might sound good. We aren't that humble because we know that the work we produce is not only good, but it gets real results. What are real results? Money. Pretty simple really. Money is why you're here. You want to make more of it and the way to make more of it is to elevate your image, expose yourself and take a risk to do something no one else is. In a nutshell that's what we do. We don't climb mountains with you. We don't drive proverbial stakes in the ground and we don't sell you a load of BS.
We've been around since 2001 and we've seen the digital industry expand and contract so many times, we feel like we're its labour coach.

Helen Mirren is royally awesome.
When the 67-year-old actress learned that a young cancer patient's dying wish ― to have tea with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace ― couldn't be granted due to the monarch's busy schedule, the Oscar winner happily stepped in.
Currently reprising her Oscar-winning role as the Queen of England for the play "The Audience" on London's West End, Mirren invited 10-year-old Oliver Burton, who has Down syndrome and has been battling cancer for much of his life, to the Gielgud Theatre to take in a performance of her show and then visit backstage for a tea party.

And what a party it was! Mirren appeared in full costume to enjoy tea and sandwiches with Ollie, who presented her with a bouquet of flowers. Making it even more realistic? Footmen catered to them, and there was a surprise guest appearance by the corgis that appear in the show with the actress.
Ollie also left with a title. Before heading out with his family to his waiting stretch limo, "Queen Mirren" knighted him with her hand.
[Related: Celebrity Do-Gooders]
His mother, Catherine Burton, agreed. In an interview with the Leicester Mercury she said, "Dame Helen was brilliant. She stayed in character the whole time and spent a lot of time talking to Oliver and drawing him out of himself. She signed his British flag, which he waves all the time. Even now, if you ask him who he met recently, he smiles and waves the flag. He believes he met the real Queen and that's fine by us.
"We were treated like royalty for a day," she continued. "It has provided so many memories for friends and family. It gave us all such a lift."

Get the Most Out of Your Bow
Tips that will help you maintain and care for your bow whether you're just starting out or an established professional.
FAQs from Parents & Beginners
You asked, we answered. Read the FAQs from parents and beginning players.
Shar Music In Home Trial
Our Safe, Easy, and Risk-Free In Home Trial Program allows you to try up to 4 bows for a 7 day trial period.
SHAR Fusion Carbon Composite Violin Bow
Instrument: Violin
Level: Beginning
For years string teachers have told us that fiberglass bows are a durable and practical choice for active young students and their budget-conscious parents. But because they lack the finesse and handling properties of wood or carbon fiber bows, teaching bowing techniques can be difficult. We listened to our colleagues and set out to find a solution. The result is the SHAR FUSION student bow. Utilizing high tech composite of carbon fiber and fiberglass, the SHAR FUSION is strong and priced right. But best of all, the SHAR FUSION performs like much more expensive wood or carbon fiber bow. Try one today!
"When considering a new bow for their student, teachers and parents alike have expressed their desire for a well-constructed bow that doesn't compromise its playability and responsiveness. I'm happy to say this bow is an excellent option for customers looking for a durable and practical bow, without inhibiting a young player's sound and technique development. Immediately after trying this bow for the first time, I noticed how easily the violin responded to it."
- William Kaltz-Hall, Violinist, Contact Center Representative
Canadian rock group Article One (www.articleonemusic.com), combines pop-rock accessibility with the hard-driving virtuosity and honesty of an indie band. Here's what Article One's world-class rock violinist, Matt Piche', has to say about the Shar Fusion bows that he uses in his performances:
"The Shar Fusion allows me to express all the passion and intensity that Article One's music demands, without wilting or breaking. Sometimes our shows get a little crazy - the rugged Fusion bow stands up to abuse better than any wood bow, yet it plays like a good wood bow. It's ideal for demanding music-making."
Guy Laurent® Pernambuco 2 Star Violin Bow - 4/4 size - Silver Mounted - Antique Finish
Instrument: Violin
Level: Intermediate
The antique finish of the fine pernambuco hints at the playing characteristics of the sophisticated bow. Firm stick imparts a warm sound for demanding passages.
Bows from the Guy Laurent® workshop are amongst our most popular, serving the most demanding advanced students and serious amateurs. In the tradition of the great French archetiers, we are proud to offer these impressive bows of fine character and outstanding playability. For the violist seeking a strong bow with very warm sound, excellent control and fast response, but without breaking the bank, look no further! Easily comparable to European bows costing twice the price, these master bows are from the finest workshops in China.
Presto® Impulse Carbon Fiber Violin Bow
Instrument: Violin
Level: Advanced
High Performance Bows for High Performance Players
You've worked long and hard to develop your skills and you have a repertoire of advanced techniques. You know what you want to express in your playing. Now, here is the perfect partner that feels your every impulse and responds in-kind. After three years of painstaking development and countless professional trials and tests, the new PRESTO® Impulse is born. Meticulous attention to every detail assures that the PRESTO® Impulse stands ready to accurately reproduce your every nuance, and nothing more. PRESTO® bows are only made with aerospace-grade fibers and resins. The engineering process guarantees longevity by eliminating "creep," a flaw in carbon-fiber manufacture that can warp a bow or diminish camber over time. All bows are thoroughly inspected, meaning only bows with the best craftsmanship are sent to our customers. Splendid tracking ability, superb control and a warm tone allow you to keep your mind, and your heart, on your performance.
When we set out to develop this new bow, we started with a list of "must-haves":
- The bow must feel alive and resilient, just like a fine-quality wood bow
- Weight and balance must be exactly like a traditional bow so that tedious re-learning of bowing techniques would not be necessary
- Each bow must conform to strict manufacturing standards, for consistency; yet, within defined parameters, the blending of carbon resins must be such that a variety of sticks would be made available for audition. In this way, a skilled violinist is able to discover the perfect PRESTO® Impulse bow
- Each bow must be fitted and finished by hand, to assure proper operation and hand-feel
"The Presto Impulse bow is remarkable. I was amazed at the response, clarity and tone it produces. This is a serious endorsement from me, as I have always shunned carbon fiber bows due to their lack of an "organic" feel. This bow feels and responds like a first rate bow in many ways. It doesn't produce a buttery tone like a great Pecatte or Simon, but it's the next best thing. Congratulations to Shar on a wonderful achievement."

PRESTO® Carbon Fiber Performance Series
PRESTO® Performance Series carbon fiber bows have gained a loyal following among players and teachers alike.

Agile handling, arrow-straight tracking and full tonal power are hallmarks of these fine bows. Decidedly stunning in appearance due to the open weave carbon cloth, these bows are far better suited for severe performance conditions than wood bows, including pernambuco. And, as the world's supply of expensive pernambuco wood disappears, PRESTO Performance Series bows deliver more performance for your dollar than any fine bow on the market today. PRESTO® bows are only made with aerospace-grade fibers and resins. The engineering process guarantees longevity by eliminating "creep," a flaw in carbon-fiber manufacture that can warp a bow or diminish camber over time. All bows are thoroughly inspected, meaning only bows with the best craftsmanship are sent to our customers..

Poor quality bow, hair falling out fast
reviewed by: Anonymous
very poor quality!!! after only 3 months of play (~30 min a day), the hair started to fall out badly and becomes not usable at all. Our old bow for a smaller size violin lasted 1.5 years and perhaps even longer.
SHAR Fusion Carbon Composite Violin BowREVIEWED ON: June 02, 2015
1/4 size - Ok for the money. Not wowed.
reviewed by: AUBREY WATKINS
Feels a bit heavy but that is probably to be expected given materials. Not really a complaint. The hair is fine, although I will note it took more rosin than usual to get it gripping the strings at the first. The screw is the biggest issue. My 7 year old cannot turn it. And that was one of my biggest hopes for it. But it's stiff, not "easy" even for me. Perhaps an easy screw in a 1/4 bow for $50 is too much to ask. But I was hoping Shar's own line would be able to pull it off.

Great Bow for My Intermediate Student
reviewed by: JOANNE SUNG
My daughter had been told by her teacher that, even after playing for 3 decades, a bow that she purchased 10 years ago changed the way she played....for the better. I wasn't ready to invest $10k in a 100-year-old bow like she did, but after a lot of research we picked this one. The weight, the flexibility and how it maneuvers did change the way my 10-year-old played. She faced her first bottleneck before we got the bow six months ago when she transitioned from Suzuki to traditional. Almost immediately after we got the bow, her playing went to a different level. This was a worthwhile investment. I wouldn't have believed how much a bow can do and always thought the focus of the outfit should be the instrument itself. This bow opened our eyes to what a great bow can do for the player.
Presto® Audition Carbon Fiber Violin BowREVIEWED ON: April 25, 2015
reviewed by: Student, RAYMOND FRADY
First off, I'm a beginner on the violin. I've played music for 35+ years though. I started taking lessons a few months ago, and I'm progressing to the point I thought about upgrading my bow. I got my bow and put rosin on it and played with this bow. I'm just playing a rental for the moment, but to be honest I like the sound of the fiberglass bow that came with the violin better than this bow. I thought it was just me, so I had my teacher play with it too. She said its a very unforgiving bow, and when she switched between all the bows I was amazed at the difference between the sound of the bows. To be honest, I wish I would have just put the $120+ on a better wooden bow. Live and learn.
Klaus Becker Pernambuco Silver Mounted Violin BowREVIEWED ON: April 24, 2015
Great bow!
reviewed by: Anonymous
This is a good bow with a lot of power. It's easy to control and has great dynamic range.
Presto® Encore Carbon Fiber Violin BowREVIEWED ON: April 01, 2015
Great value!
reviewed by: DAVID BUNCH
This bow is well balanced. The stick is perfectly straight. The hair is top quality. It didn't take much rosin to get the bow going. I usually have a time getting new hair to grab. The tone is great and I find that I never squeak like I do on other bows. This bow is as good as the Fleur Di Lis. The only problem I had was I had to rub pencil graphite on the threads to smooth out the screwing process.
Meinel One Star Pernambuco Violin BowREVIEWED ON: March 29, 2015

This bow is very tip heavy, therefore, unbalanced. Playing the lower portion of the bow is laborious - I do not recommend.

I find this little bow to be well made and should certainly handle the needs of very young students. It is sturdy and adjusts easily. It is also very attractive and 'grown up' looking which appeals to many youngsters.

I bought this one . I liked it a lot. Good sound. Enough weigh to keep balance to play. Thanks. :)
Meinel Pernambuco Violin BowREVIEWED ON: December 04, 2014
white tip broke of just after a 3 month of practice, plus it is too "jumpy"
reviewed by: ALENA BELYAKOV
The white tip peeled out just after a few month of practice; also it is way to jumpy (in the middle of the bow it s so hard to control it without jumpiness, affects sound) - I can't stand extreme jumpiness of this bow, and gave out to my daughter who started a full size violin this year. I love my daughter's persistence on learning how to master playing with this bow without it jumping too much - she worked so hard and so many hours, but she begs me for a bow that feels like her old one. I have an old bow which I played for 10 years from different country, and bought this one because my old one's frog is worn out. Wish me a good luck on finding a good responsive, controllable bow, thank you.

Nico Hulkenberg was probably the happiest driver in the Monza paddock on Saturday afternoon having secured third place on the grid...
Nico Hulkenberg was probably the happiest driver in the Monza paddock on Saturday afternoon having secured third place on the grid.
Outside the top ten in all three of the weekend's practice sessions, not much was expected of the Sauber driver come qualifying for the Italian GP.
However, Hulkenberg pulled off a major surprise when he brought his C32 home with the third fastest time, even beating the Ferraris at their home race.
"I am happy. This was a nice surprise for all of us," he said. "I didn't expect that after a very difficult Friday.
"Yesterday we struggled a lot with the car and the guys have done a fantastic job turning it around to give me such a competitive car today.
"It is a highlight for the whole team. Such a result will lift our spirits.
"During qualifying the car just got better and better and the track improved as well. We made the right decision to go for one timed lap in Q3 and then this happened."
Looking ahead to Sunday's grand prix, the Sauber driver, who is rumoured to be Ferrari-bound next season, is hoping that Sauber also get it right with the long-distance pace.
"I hope the long run pace is good tomorrow," he said.
"A big thank you to the whole team and everyone in Hinwil, who have been working hard and have never given up in this difficult year."

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Comment by Marty Wollner1 second agoDelete Comment
In reference to the ongoing project to get plastic into the hands of the street kid...,
I have just recieved some really cool news from India, this is really awesome!
Dear Laura, Marty and co.,
I've been meaning the write you all since we starting distributing the
discs made in Joey's memory. I wanted to share some of the stories and
captured moments about the discs.
Here is one from Ajat Shatru:
"Hi Jaideep,
These days I play frisbee with some kids coming from surrounding area
where we live in Gurgaon.Vinita gave me 6 Frisbee which you send her.A
girl from family of construction workers also playing with us from few
days.Today her parents decided to leave the place as they have no
work.Since this girl was playing Frisbee so well ,I decided to give her
one Frisbee with promise that she will help children to throw it where
ever she lives in future.She was not going to school because of
ignorance parents & poor conditions.I am very happy to connect children
of all background with frisbee ."
Another is a photograph from a childrens team (Team Smokey!) set up in
the Philippines (I managed to get the discs out there recently!) by Kai
Abueg. The children come from an underprivileged area and Kai has been
teaching them Ultimate for some months now.
These are just 2 'stories' from a plethora of how the discs have been
making a difference to children's lives since we started distribution a
few months ago. We have finally distributed all the discs and people
continue to share their stories of change with me.
Thank you once again for all your help and support, I cannot even begin
to imagine a better way to celebrate Joey's life after hearing how much
positivity is being spread through these discs. I can only hope that
Warm regards,
Jaidip & The Ahmedabad Ultimate Team

we have a Christmas charity here in Canada called the Samaritian's Purse ... in a shoebox u put pencils, crayons, combs, facecloths etc and take to a church and they distribute it to Samaritan Purse who in turn take the shoeboxes to Africa, Arabia, South and Central America where these small gifts will make a difference to some poor kids. I sent 2 boxes off with 2 discs each in them along with the other stuff. Included in French, English Spanish and Porteguese was the rules of disc and how to set up a course with trees or tin buckets as targets. Hopefully somebody gets them and starts chucking and have a little fun.
Where in Canada? I been everywehere, just like Stompin' Tom himself!

|Conde Nast Traveler Magazine Names VT Restaurant One of the Best
I was looking this evening at my Facebook friends/fans pages when I came across some surprising news from Northeast Kingdom Travel and Tourism Association's Facebook page.
They reported that Claire's Restaurant in little 'ol Hardwick, Vermont had been chosen for one of the most prestigious awards around.
Conde Nast Traveler magazine named it one of the top restaurants in the country, an award they gave to only 43 restaurants nationwide, and just three in New England.
In commenting on Claire's, Conde Nast Traveler said: "Appropriately, Claire's serves simple food that highlights exceptional ingredients from Vermont's fertile agricultural community: slowly leavened breads, peppery radishes, and creamy raw-milk cheese. Local microbrews, artisanal sodas, and ice wines from Shelburne Vineyards keep the drinks as interesting as the cuisine."
Conde Nast Traveler sends out its reviewers anonymously to act like any customer including paying for the meal. There's no "comping a freebie" to get a good review. The restaurant has to stand on its day-to-day quality. Conde Nast did not even tell Claire's they had won the award. A friend of the restaurant happened to see the article and passed the word along to Claire's!
Claire's is a Community Supported Restaurant, a concept where local people make an investment in a community restaurant in order to have a good quality facility in what is usually a rural environment where the economics of such a facility often don't work.
I have not been to Claire's so I can't personally vouch for the quality. And I am only a little surprised there is a good quality restaurant in Hardwick. The phenomenon of top quality restaurants in small villages is not unusual in Vermont.
What I am surprised at is that someone from a big time magazine somehow found Hardwick, Vermont. While it is a fine enough town, and a classic Vermont village, it's not often a destination or even on the way to anything except to Vermont's beautiful but least populated land. It was probably a tip from someone and I would love to know the story behind Conde Nast Travelers' discovery of Hardwick and Claire's.
In the meantime, I'll have to just put it on my long list of first time restaurants to visit. There are so many great restaurants in Vermont I think I will run out of life expectancy and money before I get to them all. But it's a goal.
You'll find Claire's at 41 South Main Street in Hardwick about 30 minutes north of Montpelier and maybe a little less than that west of St. Johnsbury.
There is an interesting article on chef Steven Obranovich at the Seasonal Chef website in which answers questions about his approach to using locally produced ingredients even in the middle of a Vermont winter.
Here's a thought: if you stay with us at the Grunberg Haus, go to dinner at Claire's (about a 45 minute drive), and bring back your review and a copy of the menu for our collection, we'll give you a $20 discount off the normal $115 room rate, double occupancy, for a room with a private bathroom, full cooked breakfast included - offer good anytime May 1 - June 15.

|Alchemist Brew Pub Closing for One Week
The Alchemist Pub and Brewery in Waterbury is planning some extensive kitchen renovations and will therefore be closed from Monday, May 4 through May 11. They will be reopening Tuesday May 12 unless their projects go as well as mine do.
With these new renovations, Chef Jeff is planning to bring some new items to the menu. I can hardly wait to see what those will be. The Alchemist blog says that right now, he's off to his home town of Cincinnati to learn more about making Cincinnati chili and to hunt turkeys. Hmmm - is that trip related to new menu items?

|Vermont Bird Tours
Photo (c) copyright Bryan Pfeiffer
Bryan Pfeiffer is probably the best known name in birding around this part of Vermont. He is also a naturalist and lepidopterologist of some note.
Most of all for birders, he's an enthusiastic, engaging speaker and teacher. There may not be anything he loves more than birding but if there is, it would be talking about birding. He's a treasure trove of fascinating information and he loves to share it.
A few years ago, he was often on WDEV, the local radio station, speaking about birds in the area and taking calls from listeners. Often those callers wanted to know what kind of unusual bird they were hearing. They would give the most awful imitation of what they were hearing and quick as lightning, Bryan would be playing a recording of the actual bird and telling the radio audience some interesting facts about it. How he could interpret what these callers were trying to sound like is beyond me but it must have come from years of hearing people try to describe (terribly and inaccurately) what they had heard.
Bryan is exactly the kind of person you would want to go birding with. You will have several opportunities to do so coming up soon.
If you are a beginner, Bryan's Spring Birdwatching for Beginners will be held May 1 and 2. He will be discussing all the basics from boots and binoculars to bird songs.
On May 16, he will be hosting the Bird Bonanza at Berlin Pond, a bird sanctuary near Montpelier VT. May is the peak of spring bird migration and Brian has seen more than 150 species of birds there over the last 25 years. You might even see a Bald Eagle or Moose on this outing.
Later in May, Bryan will be leading the Warbler Weekends at Highland Lodge overlooking beautiful Caspian Lake. These outings will be held May 22-24, and May 29-31.
July 5 is the date for a different type of watching. Bryan's Butterflies for Beginners has introduced hundreds of people to the wonders of the butterfly world through this course. You will be on the hunt for the Great Spangled Fritillary, Red Admiral, Painted Lady, and many more.
For more information on the tours, see Vermont Bird Tours website.
You can learn more about Bryan at his Wings Environmental website and see some beautiful photography at his Wings Photography website.

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
This chapter from Mark Noll's book Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind seeks to understand science through a Christ-centered lens. Overall, if one accepts that nature is created and sustained by Jesus Christ, the author explains, then one must conclude that looking at nature is, in fact, the best way to learn about nature.
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, describes how Andrew Dickson White relentlessly advocated a view of history in which Science and Dogmatic Theology have always been at war with one another. Noll identifies 16 reasons why White's notion of warfare is mistaken.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.

Capital and Labor
Cover o fLiberator from Oct. 1921
Originally published as The Masses, The Liberator was co-founded in 1918 by Max Eastman, his sister, Crystal Eastman, and a group of writers and artists as a digest of worldwide Socialist political and cultural movements. As an intellectual concerned with the role of art in politics, Eastman served as editor until 1924. Pro-labor and sympathetic to the Bolshevik Revolution, Eastman believed art should avoid pretentious pseudo-intellectualism. These cover illustrations show the mixture of a strong political message and simple artistic form he favored.

Camera - Screen - Print calibration question
December 11, 2012, 05:45:38 PM »
My first post! :-) After a couple years of debating, I have concluded that I want to go the printing of my own photographic prints myself, instead of sending them to a lab... I prefer the better control. Also, read into that - I am a newbie, and going into this learning as I go. :-)
Today, I am going to invest in Epson's R3000 printer, and NEC's 27" Wide-Gamet display, as well as sample packs of photo paper from Epson, Canson, Hahnemuhle, Museo, to see which paper I like the best (I wanted to try Ilford also, but they don't have a sample pack, and really only have one acid-free paper that I could see)...
My question is, after viewing Mr. Reichmann's awesome Camera To Print tutorial series, which was very helpful, I just had a question come to me, which I am curious about especially in investing in all this equipment -
Is acquiring a calibration system, outside and more than for the NEC monitor (meaning also a system to calibrate printers), really necessary if color profiles can be downloaded from paper manufacturers?
I guess I am just curious if, okay - color profiles have been created by the paper manufacturers themselves, for the specific brand and series of printer I will have... but, does and will each and every Epson R3000 printer print exactly the same? And those paper manufacturers' color profiles be close enough, across the board, that will be fine and good enough for me to use? Or, would it be a good idea to also invest in a more elaborate calibration system, so as to have a more precise, tailored to my specifically owned R3000 printer unit? Or, would that just really be a waste of money? Especially since the full calibration systems are A LOT of money... adding that, when all done and calibrated, I have really no further use for this expensive calibration system (or, would I?).
Really, some experienced advice and suggestions, I would really welcome and appreciate. And thank you in advance!
All the best to you,
PS: And if I go and acquire the NEC 27" with the SpectraView bundle to cover the monitor calibration side, what would be a compatible, only needed addition to do just printer calibration then?

I can't speak for the 3000. For the 3800/3880/4900 printers, they behave close within their groups, maintain that behavior over time and the canned profiles can produce very good output. Worth testing with a sheet of paper and a good reference image. Custom profiles can and do improve things to a degree but start with the canned profiles, get printing and soft proofing down before you go off into another direction just to build some profiles. If paper manufacturer's canned profile is great while another isn't so hot, that says a lot about the paper and the profile <g>.

Thank you, Mr. Rodney, I appreciate your reply.
I am thinking I am going to go that route for now - I will go ahead and get the NEC 27" with the bundled SpectraView, to at least know that it is calibrated to the best of it's ability, and then just go from there and use the paper manufacturers' base profile of their papers with the R3000.
Which I agree, they want their paper's results to look the best with each given printer, so would think that the profile that they'd put out for their users, will be as good as they can be and get... so, will just use them, and see who comes the closest to the best in look and quality to me with their paper, from those base profiles, and the R3000... and if need be, can customize and tweak from there if need be. Just kinda scary and exciting at the same time :-) I want to put forth the investment for quality, but just not unnecessarily if need be, as I am not a money-bags... but, if necessary and best, I will put forth the investment, because that is very important to me... just again, if not...
Thank you again for your time and assistance, sir, in helping out a new guy starting out in navigating these waters, I appreciate it. All the best to you,

Don't forget to run some tests at different luminance values on your monitor profile parameters as you zero in on screen/print match. I'd suggest doing this w/ a good reference image. E.g. my NEC profile is as 95 cdm rather than the default. There isn't one correct answer/setting as it is editing area ambient light dependent.

You know, I have a follow-up inquiry with all of this...
As for my camera, Nikon's D700, it is calibrated to shoot at Adobe RGB... and am just referencing Mr. Reichmann's awesome Camera To Print Tutorial series, where him and Mr. Schewe discuss color gamut and such...
So, I am capturing an image in Adobe RGB, but, have my workspace set to ProPhoto RGB - is that really pointless? Because to put it in Mike and Jeff's terms, I am taking my Adobe RGB bucket and just going and dumping it into this much larger ProPhoto RGB bucket, which, since ProPhoto is a much larger gamut, the contents of my Adobe RGB bucket will like only fill up two-thirds of the ProPhoto bucket workspace. As Jeff put it, to Mike's chagrin :-), the gamut of colors is cut off like in a sex change operation, in the Adobe RGB, compared to the fuller bucket of ProPhoto RGB - so why set one's workspace to ProPhoto RGB, when I'm bringing in an Adobe RGB file that's not going to have the full range of colors already coming in?
I can see if cameras could be set to capture in ProPhoto RGB, and obviously of course, you'd want to not lose any of the vast breadth of color gamut captured, and continue to work with all those colors in a ProPhoto RGB workspace. But, if the most one can shoot with is Adobe RGB, then shouldn't really one's workspace be set at Adobe RGB also?
Seriously, I'm asking.
And really, what's the point anyway? Because, either an image is going to be cut off even more and placed into a smaller bucket for display on monitors and/or devices, which for the majority, except for high end monitors, are only able to display sRGB at best and most. Or, it's going to be sent to be printed on a printer that is only able to reproduce a color gamut of maybe Adobe RGB at best... correct and enlighten me please if I am wrong.
So, I guess - what's the point of ProPhoto RGB now, in this day and age? Sure it's awesome and nice to be able to be able to work with such a huge bucket of colors, but when nothing captures in it (again, that my ignorant self is aware of, correct me if I am wrong), and work on monitors that can't display all of it, or all our end results being sent to devices, machines, printers that can't reproduce them all - is it really worth it, and just pointless to do so and use it?
Okay, just some curious questions that have been tossing around my head since watching the Camera To Print tutorials... and even more with my beginning this investment into getting monitors, printers, etc., and determining workflows.

If you are shooting raw, that's not the case. That setting applies to the JPEG.

Huge bucket of colors?
to my knowledge the actual number of unique colors in most if not all images is way less than the number of possible unique colors in any of the sRGB, aRGB or pRGB. That is also not the point with colorspaces. Having a large colorspace as pRGB as working space reduces the risk of clipping during the transformations to and from. clipping is permanent and cannot be recovered. The colorspace of the image that is needed to prevent clipping can be quite large, think of very satured colors like flowers. The printer colorspace is different in shape again, and especially with today's inkjetprinters significantly exceed that of aRGB at certain parts. Yet aRGB exceeds on other parts that of those printers, for instance in the very light colors, the almost white colors like the very light green tints on the leaf of an orchid.

4 1/2 teaspoons
active dry yeast
1 teaspoon
white sugar
1/2 cup
warm water
2 cups
warm milk
6 tablespoons
vegetable shortening
6 cups
all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
1/4 cup
white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
1/2 cup
baking soda
4 cups
1/4 cup
melted butter
sea salt
After reading the reviews, the stickiness of the dough seemed to be an issue, so I reduced the amount of milk to 1-3/4 cups. Kept everything else the same (including 6 cups of A/P flour), and let the KA do all of the kneading. This yielded absolutely beautiful dough so easy to work with. I'm new to yeast bread baking, and I wasn't sure what dipping the dough into the baking soda-water mixture did, but you definitely get a little bit of that taste, and that's a good thing, so don't skip this step. I formed these into different shapes...coiled, square, round, made a few bread sticks, and topped with Trader Joe's kosher salt. Next time I make these, I'll make more bread sticks because they are delicious dipped into mustard. The baked bun texture is perfect, the dough very pliable (not at all sticky), and the flavor similar to the mall pretzels. Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe...this one is going into my favorites folder.
This dough is sooo sticky! Impossible to shape as written. Would need much more flour. I now have it baking in a loaf pan. Not much hope for an edible product.... I am an experienced baker.... One star, only because required.

I used whole wheat flour instead of ap flour, oil instead of shortening, and 3 T honey in place of the sugar. They are relatively easy to make, and were loved by my family! I'l be making these again!
The dough is sticky but the flavor was great. I will make this again but rolll it into roung buns instead of the long sticks. My family loved it and ate it right up.
These turned out perfect! I tweaked it just a bit and tossed everything in my bread machine. If I can get it to work in my bread machine then it's a great recipe. I only used 1 1/2 cups milk, used 3 cups bread flour and 3 cups AP flour, 6 Tbsp oil and 3 tsp yeast. The dough wasn't sticky at all. Came out very pliable and easy to work with. I divided it into 12 balls, slit an X into the tops dipped each into the hot water bath then let rise for about an hour. Then I brushed with the butter and sprinkled with Kosher salt. Only baked 20 minutes and they were just "crunchy" enough on the tops yet sooo soft inside. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
Turned out AWESOME! I used 3 tsp yeast (4 1/2 is too much yeast) and let it proof with the sugar and water. Followed step 2 exactly except I used 1 1/2 c milk (not 2c) in a kitchen aid mixer with bread hook attachment. Slowly added in the remaining 3c flour, and after that I spread flour on countertop to knead the dough. I kept adding a little flour here and there while kneading to keep it from sticking to the counter, then I put the dough ball in a plastic tupperware bowl with seran wrap on top to rise (no need for oil if you use plastic bowl). The dough was sticky but not unmanageable. After it rose I again beat the hell out of the dough on a floured countertop. After it was finished I didn't have time to bake it that day, so I put the spiral dough balls on parchment paper on a baking sheet in the fridge overnight. I did the baking soda hot water dipping right before baking, my rolls were pretty big so they took prob 25-30 min to bake (I kept checking on them). Absolutely awesome recipe, way better than store bought buns!!!
Pour yourself some AMAZING pretzel rolls! Yes, the dough is VERY sticky...I'd even say "pourable". But don't let this discourage you. I made the dough in a food processor and used less than 5 cups of flour. After looking at the dough with every flour addition I guessed that it was not going to come together in the "ball". I made and educated guess to stop adding flour and pour in the bowl to rise. It rose beautifully! I dipped the measuring cup in flour and floured my hands too before rolling it out. I heated the water and processed the "buns" like baking bagels...not just a quick dip. These came out perfect...my kids gobbled them up and requested the rolls for their lunchboxes! I am glad I used less flour and mixing because more would have yielded tough rolls. I made larger rolls (that had to be cut in half...they were more like mini-loaves) but next time I will make them smaller (like hamburger/slider size). You can shape the rolls...just take your time and keep your hands/counter floured. Mine were tied in cool knots! This recipe is a keeper! Thank you "Brittsky"!!!...my kids thank you too!
Good flavor. Not too difficult. Can't wait to try a sandwich with these buns. Thanks for sharing.

Gallery: Inflatable Diamond Grid Eco-Pavilion by Various Architects
Various Architects recently designed this striking Renaissance Pavilion for a competition to create a mobile performance space for Yorkshire Forward. Based upon a set of structural concepts perfected in their collapsible stadium, the inflatable event space is ultra-portable, generates all of its own energy, and is 100% recyclable. A gridded diamond facade conceals a faceted interior space reminiscent of the coal mines found throughout Yorkshire. The venue can be easily reconfigured to hold both small and large crowds, and it's versatile enough to host everything from intimate gatherings to outdoor concerts.
Various Architects' Renaissance Pavilion features an inflatable structural skin that is precision-cut by computer-controlled machines, giving the pavilion a flawless wrinkle-free look. It fully inflates in a little more than an hour, and should the pavilion's lifespan ever come to an end, the entire skin is 100% recyclable through a process called Texyloop.
Additional innovative features include the mounting of solar panels on top of its shipping container, which allows the pavilion to generate energy while it is being transported. Once the structure has been set up, wind turbines will help generate the power needed to maintain the inflatable structure and any lighting systems deployed during the evening. The hope is that the pavilion will be completely self-sustaining and will provide a versatile performance space even in off-the-grid locations.
The Yorkshire Pavilion is one of three finalists in a competition to design a new event space for the Yorkshire Forward, and the winner has not yet been announced. Unfortunately we were not able to cast our vote, but we definitely give a nod to the forward-thinking creativity of Various Architect's entry.

Thanks again to Inhabitat for featuring our design.
A quick comment to Gary. Actually, manufacturing the tubes is not a problem. Our collaborator and manufacturer Tectoniks have custom software that cut all the parts from a 3D model. Their software also simulates the pressure on the material ensuring practically \'wrinkle-free\' seams and welds. We have made a full scale mock-up of piece of a similar structure previously. The buildings that Tectoniks regularly produce are larger than this pavilion and they see no problem in manufacturing our design as is. Have a look at their website for examples – http://www.tectoniks.com/
As this structure will erected 2-3 days at a time for a 6 month travel season you can extend the 5 year lifespan by 3 or 4 times when it comes to sun exposure. We were quoted more than a 5 year lifespan on the Ferrari textiles in question. You are correct to question the Texyloop process, but I doubt you can find another material for a temporary pavilion that is comparibly recyclable, or achieves a similarly low packing volume and weight. For a mobile pavilion we believe that we have made the correct choice.
Jim Dodson, Various Architects

Whether you're walking the shoreline or wandering the city streets, the Punta Negra Necklace radiates breezy appeal. Handmade by Peruvian artisans, it features thin slices of hand-dyed tagua beads held together by a bold, adjustable suede leather cord. Consider this Mujus masterpiece your bright ray of elegance, from sundress to evening gown.
Total length: approximately 20". Width: approximately 0.8". Nickel free.
Mujus' signature material is the tagua seed, which comes from a palm tree that grows in the Amazon rainforest. When ripe, the tagua fruit falls to the ground and is gathered and dried by local communities for a period of up to eight months, after which it becomes extremely hard and ivory-like. Since the seeds are harvested after they have fallen to the ground, there is no damage done to the rainforest during the harvesting process. As no two seeds are alike, each Mujus piece is unique.

Comments about Tech-Grip™ Case Set for iPhone® 5 Devices:
I liked the case a lot. I had trouble getting the screen protector on, but I think that was more my fault. It did not come with instructions to apply it and I didn't do it properly and didn't use it. The textured overlay started peeling off the plastic shell after <6 months of use. I am pretty easy on cases compared to others. It just slides in my pocket or pocketbook. So it does not seem durable.

Comments about Tech-Grip™ Case Set for iPhone® 5 Devices:
I got this case when the iPhone 5 had barely come out, so there were little cheap options available. With my luck with phones, I went to the nearest store I could find--Brookstone--and picked this up for around $15 on sale.
I was very happy with the product. The included screen protector was key, and it works great--not a flimsy, thrown-in screen protector. I loved how it's slightly matte, not shiny and glare-y.
Surprisingly, I got a lot of compliments on the case. People would say "ooh it feels like a basketball!" I never loved how it looked, but it worked for me for a few months. Now that there are an abundance of case options, I've moved on. But this is a good, basic case for the price.

I'll bet we have some real gadget lovers here..
On my last trip home to New York City you can imagine my surprise when I saw this in my father's kitchen:
I love making juice drinks and chocolate drinks with seltzer; much less sweet and chemically than soda!
Well I live in Urbana-Champaign in Illinois now and every time I go to the grocery store i curse them out because they don't sell seltzer (carbonated water). As soon as i saw this seltzer maker i fell in love with it, and i'ts my new favorite gadget. Works really well and super convenient, I *love* it and use it every day. Big thumbs up from me
Little video demo here: http://www.sodaclubusa.com/demo/HowTo/HowTo.htm
I was so excited about it that i contacted them and arranged a 30% discount for anyone here who has an interest in it. As always i/we get no commission or affiliate fees or any other benefits at all, so buy it or not, it won't affect me.
Because this ships with a gas cannister they probably won't ship it outside the US but you may be able to find a similar company where you live.
Advice: i do not like the diet flavoring stuff they provide, you might not like it either so don't order much of that (it's all made with sucralose even the non-diet flavors), so i strongly suggest you just go to your super market and buy these non-frozen concentrated juice cans (i buy cranberry and grape mainly), and of course some chocolate for making NY Egg Creams (i'll post my recipe later). There are 3 models available but they are all the same except for look and bottle type - the most expensive one uses a bottle that seems inferior, so it seems to be the cheapest model is the best, imho.
If you want the 30% discount, use coupon RAD30 when ordering. Expires October 15th, and available to all donationcoder readers. Price before discount is from $80 to $130 depending on the kit.
ps. this is not an advert - i am just a huge fan of this thing
what's your favorite gadget that you own?
