i'll look into it.
Yes, the screenshots are there.
But in that case, the message after submission should not say that the page has been edited, when it in reality it is still up to appoval by moderation. That's just wrong.
Everything is fine, new version gets publicly visible after moderators approved it; just check the page, new screenshots should now be visible
I agree that the distinction between emulators and virtual machines in kind of fuzzy. Games running in ScummVM require a virtual machine to interpret their byte code, but the same is true for any Java, .Net or Python games. On the other hand it would be possible to write an interpreter for X86 machine instructions and run DOS games in it, but still it wouldn't make those games submission candidates.
My attempt at writing down a rule would be: If any code originally written for a physical (hardware) machine is required to run a game it's not a Linux game. It's still fuzzy, because there are things like software synthesizers that emulate obsolete hardware, but I guess you have to draw a line somewhere.
> As far as I know, Wine works similarly to Mono. It runs Windows applications more or less like native Linux applications.
No, Wine and Mono are fundamentally different. .Net applications are byte code and require a virtual machine, just like Java (or Scumm). They don't run native on any platform, and if they are properly maintained they can be considered Linux games just as well as Windows games. Prominent examples are FEZ, Bastion or SpaceChem.
I never implied that it was. I'm saying that even though some Windows games run flawlessly under WINE, they are still not listed here. So if we consider WINE off limits, then we should consider ScummVM and DOS off limits, which are more VM-like.
As far as I know, Wine works similarly to Mono. It runs Windows applications more or less like native Linux applications.
Dosbox is an emulator (of CPU, sound system, graphics system, etc.) with operating system (DOS-like) bundled.
> at the cost of a huge performance loss(which is totally irrelevant for that kind of games).
It depends. Many interpreters use "mixed approach" by precompiling pieces of code and keeping it, instead of reinterpreting same instructions again and again. Moreover, together with different optimization techiques (e.g. runtime statistics and analysis), several pieces of code can run _faster_ in interpreter than "plain" binary. Again this is broad topic.
> If WINE is to be considered an emulator
Please, never call Wine an emulator (even if you know it's not), because it will confuse people. Wine has nothing to do with emulation. What it actually does is:
- Take x86 machine instructions out of *.exe file
- Run them _as is_
- If those instructions try to call another piece of x86 code that initially resided in some *.dll files provided by microsoft & co (and entirely depends on windows os), don't do that...
- ...but instead call the code that does the same thing, but was written by Wine team and can work on Linux
Very rought and simplified description:
Interpreter is a piece of software that takes some kind of code written in a language (whatever it means) X as and input, "translates" it to the code written in a language Y as an output and "executes" it. This is not a strict definition, but this should give you the general idea.
Emulator is a piece of software that tries to imitate some piece of physical hardware. This can be done at different levels, e.g. we can imitate the harware by imitating work of physical elements (e.g. transistors) or some higher level (e.g. registers, memory cells, etc.). Depending on a technique used, particular emulator can act very similarly to interpreter.
Virtual machine is a description (read, peace of paper) of an abstract piece of "hardware".
From the theoretical point of view, these are rather different concepts. Practically, they can be rather tightly related, but I'm not going to describe how does this happen as this is a broad topic.
ScummVM is best described (IMO) as an interpreter of commands for SCUMM virtual machine.

I didn't like last year's Crazy Light Boost bc of the traction and terrible forefoot cushioning. Adidas addresses both those issues with an awesome traction pattern as well as increasing the foam in the forefoot. The shoe really feels like a running shoe but made for hoops. Primeknit is fantastic and has a nice little skeleton inside the upper for extra Support. Boost as always is awesome and really makes the shoe stand out IMO. I bought my normal sz 11 and these fit perfectly. Great job Adidas ! ... read more
I had tried these on before for must to test them out and when I but these on they were amazing I could feel everything on the ball when I pass and receive. I love these boots they are the best and plus what's really cool about these is that you can where these on firm ground and artificial ground which is a lot cheaper the buying two boots for different turfs. The only bad thing I have to say is, is that its a little wide but not massively just a little. I would recommend these boots to defenders and midfielders because they are built just like them which is great. ... read more
I did 3 runs with the Ultra boost so far. The first was a 12k in which I set a new personal best without even trying to run fast. The second was a 12k I ran at a pace of 5 minutes per k ( 8 minutes mile) and my heart reate was way lower than normal at that speed. Today i did a 26k run and the pace was good. The shoe fits well. After having run only 50k with these shoes, I find that the wear is excessive. Some of the nobs are already completely gone. Compared with the other boost shoes I've had the wear is excessive. That's the only issue I have with this shoe. If Adidas can fix the wear issue, they have a real winner here. For the price they cost, this will turn out to be an expensive shoe, because i don't see myself getting the same mileage out of these shoes. ... read more
This pair of boots is by far the best that i have worn and used. The X-Cage and Fit-Tech Sock help tremendously with preformance and help with the feel of the ball and performance of the touch. My shooting and touch have improved dramatically in the short time that i have had these. My foot is a little narrow and these cleats are the perfect size for me. If you are in a wider area of the foot, I recommend going up half a size for the perfect fit.I recommend these cleats to those who are of the flanks on the fields. From the right-back to the left-wing these cleats can improve your performance and help make you te the game changer you want to be. ... read more
A couple of things to mention, I love the Energy Boost, I love the Adios Boost. One of the things I love about Energy Boost is that first 200 meters when you set off and it feels like you are just floating compared to other shoes. When I saw the release of the Ultra Boost and the opportunity to place a pre-release order I knew I would buy them. Have run a couple of times in them now, 7mi and 8mi. Today was a 6'49" steady run. First thing was early pace surprised me, started up a big hill and Ultra Boosts made sub 7 uphill feel relatively easy. Boosts seem to suit my stride as in them it really flows and feels very smooth, U Boosts are no different in this respect. Have also found them better than Energy Boost at minimising soreness after the run. E Boosts were good in this respect but U Boost seems even better. The shoe feels totally neutral, even more so than the E Boost. Today was a light mist and ground slightly greasy, but grip of new Boosts was never really in question. As is mentioned in the PR materials, the upper is really special. It literally does fit like a glove. In E Boost I went a 1/2 size up to UK11, but in U Boost 10.5 fits me perfectly. Due mainly to the stretch of the Primeknit. I think the 1/2 size up would have been too big for me. In Adios Boost I also take 10.5, so if you have Adios Boost the same size in U Boost is fine. I guess looks are a personal preference, but my last E Boosts were Black with red inner, so for me the initial release of U Boost in Black with the blue heel cup would be my first choice in any case. They do look really nice! To summarise, I am really happy with the shoe so far, it feels fast, protects my legs even better than E Boost, fits like a glove, grips really well and looks better than the other 19 or so shoes in my collection! ... read more
This boot is really great and unique. I couldn't wait to test these out and when I did it felt great my foot was locked in the boot. Also another great thing about is the sock fit technology on the boot it is amazing. It has the wet grip control thing so now you have better grip on the ball in any wet condition which is my personal favorite. the only down thing that got me was the sock fit technology thing didn't go around the whole boot like I thought it would but it just kinda shocked me. Other than that its an amazing boot I wouldn't change a thing on them. ... read more
I have done three runs in these shoes a five mile, seven mile then on Saturday nineteen miles - Shoes are really nicely cushioned. I went down by half a size from original adidas boost. I bought two pairs 10.5 and 11 and took them on and off so better than buying from a running shop to dither but these are better to be close fitting. Bit heavier and less speedy than previous models. I had a sore toe before the run due to a black nail but ran for 3 hours and it was fine. The uppers are great. Lovely cushioning great for my sore Achilles and no problems after 19 mile long run so fantastic for a marathon. But .... the outsole is worn after just 30 miles - the pimples are down to nothing - is the rubber too soft - I'm concerned they wont last 100 miles. I have attached photo which shows some of the slightly worn pimples and some have worn to be flat - is this a major flaw if so adidas will get a lot of returns ... read more
First, this shoe is amazing. Im an ex-collegiate T&F athlete with a neutral gate and forefoot-midfoot runner. I'm approx 200lbs, and need a cushioned ride. I've been looking forever for a shoe with enough fore-mid foot cushioning for the heavier, neutral runner and I feel as though everything is focused on Heel cushioning these days but this is amazing for the mid-forefoot striker! Extremely cushioned and soft yet responsive, feels great on the foot, needed two days to break the shoe in, and no injuries since I've had them. You don't want to take these babies off, believe the hype. I almost missed out on a great shoe. ... read more
These are some of the best boots I have ever owned. I have been through the predators, f50s and have also owned a pair of magistas and 2 pairs of superfly's and the Adidas x 15.1 is by far the most comfortable boot. Albeit on the heavier side compared to some competitors, this boot makes up for the little extra weight by being extremely comfortable. The first time I put them on, it felt as though they moulded to my foot. A couple of strikes on the ball and I could immediately tell that they were cut above any other boot I have worn. Not to mention that they also look incredibly clean. Overall, a fantastic purchase worth, to me, a lot more than 220. Thank you Adidas! ... read more
This shoe is one of the most comfortable pair of basketball sneakers currently. If you like the on court feel.. this shoe has it! If you like great court traction.. got it!! If you like the comfort of a sock while having great support and heel lockdown.. Go get this shoe!! You will not be disappointed!!.. unless you do not like low tops. ... read more
Y8\This is probably, if not, the best Adidas boot I have ever worn! Such a great boot! Fit and feel right out of the box is really comfortable. Had minimal break in time for my experience. Though the tech fit was a little disappointing as I thought it would part of the inside liner of the shoe but no big deal there, gives a really unique sensation what worn. I love the thin upper you get with it, very similar to the 2014 F50 but even thinner! Love the the lock in feel from the X-cage, really locks you feet in tight. As for the stud pattern it works really well and is very aggressive stud configuration similar again to the 2014 F50. Awesome boot overall! Another great from Adidas again! ... read more
I love these shoes. I have Multiple pairs of Energy Boosts (1.0 & 2.0), and the Adios Boost. Next to the Adios, these are my favorite. My one complaint, mirrors at least one more review that I've read here, in that the outsole, on the Ultras, wears rather quickly. It's hard to complain about it really, because that is probably what contributes to the excellent grip that they have, it's just that for $180..... The Primeknit makes these feel amazing snug, while still allowing me to not feel too constricted. It's kind of hard to explain. Really great shoes. Give them a go if you're on the fence, just keep that outsole wear in mind. ... read more
The best of the best right now out there, unbeatable fit and comfort even tho my foot its little bit wide if i normally wear a 8 with this ones i went for a 8.5 and works perfectly fine like a glove, great features like X-Claw give a really good traction and grip in the field also that X-Cage provides an excellent support and last but not least of the X's the X-Skin will give you a better control on the touch maybe no like ACE but better that any other cleats out there and for me another great plus in this cleats its the FG/AG its awesome because i play sometimes on AG and it helps a lot. Thanks Adidas ... read more
First off I gotta say the look of this shoe when you wear it is definitely above most others. I bought the white and black ones and see people at the gym staring at them all the time. Overall very happy with it. Some slight problems with them is that the sizing feels to run a little bit small. I'm a size 11 and that's what I got but I would have been more happy with an 11.5. Also I wear ankle socks and walking with them around in the gym the backs of the show rubs on my skin and cause a slight cut on both ankles. Can be fixed by wearing higher socks but that's not my look so I've just covered it with a band aid. I want to get the blue ones now but this time in the slightly bigger size. ... read more
I wasn't unsure about the boots (trying to choose between magista and this ones), however after trying then, I got catch strait away, very nice feel in the ground and the ball, they are a new concept that I am sure in the future it will become the trend, good job adidas, Just shame I couldn't get other colours to choose when I bought them ... read more

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I've been a Journeyman Welder for 10 years now. I have always been a shop welder. I'm now looking to expand my business outside my shop walls. I am looking at portable units now. I have found a really new(52hrs) Trailblazer 302 gas. I was wondering if anyone out there has anything bad to say about these machines. I really don't know much about engine driven welders, so I wanted to hear what you guys have to say about it. What to look for etc.
Thank you in advance for your time.

I own one and love it
Excellent machine. Mine has the Subaru in it. What engine ?? I would stay with Kohler or Subaru. Not sure if the 302 used a Onan , but parts are getting hard to get from what I read for Onan.
The generator part is awesome. I can run all the necessities in my house with it. Not sure on fuel consumption, but I would say you could figure almost a gallon a hour.

guess it depends on what kind of work you are looking to do.
I have a TB 302 with the Subaru, i love this machine as well, it is excellent for lots of different stuff, Stick , MIG and TIG on carbon, stainless or aluminum. It also have a strong generator if you need it. With some attachments it can do just about anything you could throw at it. its kinda a swiss army knife type machine. If i was running day in/out id look to a diesel though, probly the pro 300 or 350 pipepro in the blue ones or the Vantage series if you like the red ones.I have a welding addiction
...the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask

Artists to Watch: Glasgow
May 28, 2014 via Pepsi
Artists to Watch: Glasgow
Glasgow may not be the official capital of Scotland, but Glasgow's residents wouldn't hesitate to tell you their fair city is the creative hub of the Scots. As evidence they'd happily point to the city's myriad galleries, gastropubs, and lively clubs that have popped up in recent years. Glasgow has long played an influential, yet under-appreciated role in modern music. People assume London has the hold on UK nightlife, but Glasgow's music scene thrives off its free-spirited creative energy. The city's music community has no qualms acknowledging its talent, and this is reflected in the music Glaswegians make. There's a touch of melancholy that artists from the UK seem to specialize in. But there's also an underlying sense of liberty that you don't always find in the stern hyper-cosmopolitan output of many London-based musicians. Influential underground artists like The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Blue Nile, Primal Scream, and more recently, Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian, and Arab Strap have all called Glasgow home. Supported by venues like The Sub Club and The Arches and record labels like LuckyMe and Numbers, today's Glaswegian artists cover styles that span from innovative electronic music to wistful indie rock. So without any further ado, "come w'is" and check out some of the most important Glaswegian musicians around right now, and brush up on your Sottish brogue afterwards.
1. Hudson Mohawke
This signee to both Warp and G.O.O.D. Music (not to mention his affiliation with the beloved Glasgow-based label LuckyMe) started his career similarly to another highly-praised DJ, A-Trak. Both Artists were extremely young, extremely talented DJ competition finalists. And while Mohawke's style also skews towards hip-hop, his maximalist aesthetic integrates various genres in unexpected ways, leading to collaborations with hip-hop icons Kanye, Pusha T, and Lunice on their project TNGHT. And let's not forget his countless remixes, like the Disclosure edit above.
2. Rustie
If any other Glasgow DJ gives HudMo a run for his money it's Rustie. It's hard to say if Rustie one-ups HudMo's hip-hop wonk, but the argument could easily be made. Both deal in a psychedelic globalized idea of hip-hop with the urgency of dance music. Rustie hasn't released a full-length since 2011's Glass Swords which helped define a new phase of left-field hip-hop production. In the meantime he's paved the way for up-and-coming producers like S-Type, while holding his own on a string of new tracks and remixes.
3. Camera Obscura
Formed in 1996, Camera Obscura made their rounds in the international music world. This twee-pop outfit has five albums under their belt, each praised by critics and fans. At first the group followed in the footsteps of artists like Belle and Sebastian. Over time the dove further and further into their own crisp, lighthearted sound. Their 2013 release Desire Lines was widely considered a revitalized and exciting effort from this longtime Glasgow indie torch-bearer.
4. Chrvches
Today's Glasgow is not all DJs and clubbing. If you're looking for proof look no further than 2013's critical darlings Chrvrches and their fiery confessional electro-pop. The trio started as a project between Martin Doherty, a former member of gloomy Glasgow indie rock band The Twilight Sad, Ian Cook, a member of another local band, Aerogramme, and Lauren Mayberry, a vocalist and former journalist. Since the release of their debut LP The Bones of What You Believe last year, the band has toured extensively, playing sold out clubs around the world. We love them so much we featured them as Artist of the Week last year, check it out here for more.
5. Jackmaster
Even though Jackmaster's been on the electronic music scene for over a decade, his prolific mix output reflects today's post-genre trend. The DJ is known to pair anything from deep-cut disco and boogie with techno and classic house. As a co-founder of renowned electronic music label Numbers, Jackmaster has been instrumental in spotting awesome music early, releasing tracks by artists like Jessie Ware, SBTRKT, and Jamie xx, alongside Glaswegian heavyweights like Rustie and Hudson Mohawke. Check out his eclectic 2013 "Mastermix" above for proof.
6. The Twilight Sad
With the recent reissuing of The Twilight Sad's debut album, Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters, on Record Store Day this April, it seems more than appropriate to give props to these gloomy Glaswegians. For the trio, it's all about dark, engrossing indie rock. Their more recent work has hinted at a move away from noisy folk orchestration towards an equally stark electronic sound. They still maintain traditional folk-influenced melodies paired with an appropriately striking Scottish brogue. Check out "Sick," on The Twilight Sad's Soundcloud here.
7. Kode9
As one of the key figures in the early days of dubstep and the owner of the taste-making electronic music label Hyperdub, Kode9 can throw some serious weight. He began his DJ career spinning drum and bass, jungle, and garage, before experimenting blending those genres with dub, dancehall, and traditional Indian music, which would eventually evolve into his take on what would be called dubstep. Since founding Hyperdub a decade ago, the DJ and producer has had a handful of studio albums and mixes that rightfully reflect the forward-thinking aesthetics of his label. He is truly a pioneer in every sense of the word.
8. Biffy Clyro
While not as well-known outside of the UK, Biffy Clyro are rounding out a solid decade as the darling pop-rock band of Glasgow. They represent an honest, successful attempt at carrying guitar-driven anthemic rock into the present era of music. Their sixth release, a double album called Opposites, was released last year and found the trio balancing their earlier prog rock (and sometimes darker emo) tendencies with a mainstream accessibility. Click here to listen to "Black Chandelier" via Soundcloud.
9. We Were Promised Jetpacks
Screeching into the limelight at a young age, this Edinburgh-formed Glasgow-based band found their way to Fat Cat Records after opening for their local forebears Frightened Rabbit. Exploring the energy and angst of post-punk, WWPJ as they're commonly known, most recently released a live album of their 2012 performance at the El Rey in Philadelphia, where the band performs tracks from both of their earlier full lengths.
10. Ubre Blanca
Only half joking in an interview with The Skinny magazine, this electronic duo describe their musical objective as scoring a film "that hasn't yet been dreamed up." These guys commit wholeheartedly to Giorgio Moroder-indebted retro synth jams on their debut EP Polygon Mountain. Fit for any sci-fi horror flick.

External accreditation of PSE
The school was keen that the PSE learning and experiences of all learners in Years 10 and 11 should be accredited. The reasons were to raise the status of PSE, to motivate the learners and to provide them with a relevant qualification at the end of Key Stage 4. After researching several options, the school decided to pilot a PSE GCSE short course. The chosen specification covered the PSE themes whilst encouraging skill development and active pupil participation.
Following a curriculum audit of PSE provision, the PSE coordinator worked with curriculum leaders to identify realistic opportunities to cover PSE GCSE short course content in their subjects. For example, elements of sustainable development and global citizenship were being covered in Science, geography, RE and design and technology. These contributions were incorporated into the PSE scheme of work. This arrangement was necessary so that best use was made of the weekly timetabled PSE sessions.
The PSE GCSE short course is delivered to all learners Year 10 and 11 by a small team of specialist staff. Each team member has received training and support from the awarding body to deliver the course modules, which cover:
- Citizenship – Human Rights, Moral and Social Issue, Democratic Processes
- Health Education – Legal and Illegal Drugs, Sexual Health
- Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship- Sustainability, Energy Resources, Protecting the Environment, Living Sustainably
- Active Learning in the Community.
During the summer term, Year 10 learners work in mixed ability groups to plan, carry out, write up and evaluate an active citizenship community project. Initial preparatory work is completed during timetabled PSE sessions. The project is launched and the group work undertaken as a focused activity on a day when the timetable is suspended. The school has developed strong links with a wide range of organisations helping pupils address a range of local and global issues including a proposed local recycling facility, homelessness and supporting a home for orphaned girls in Kenya.
In Year 11 every learner completes a five hour board prescribed task in which there is element of choice. Individually learners research a set topic related to the module specification such as human rights, parenting, or Fairtrade and then present their findings in an appropriate format, e.g. as a leaflet, poster, or PowerPoint. The outcomes are externally assessed.
Links with the PSE framework
The participative approach adopted provides learners with varied opportunities to develop their communication and thinking skills plus their ability to work with others. Specifically they are:
- listen perceptively in a range of situations, and respond appropriately
- communicate personal feelings and views effectively in a wide range of situations through a range of appropriate methods
- appreciate, reflect on and critically evaluate other points of view
- use prior knowledge to explain links between cause and effect and make predictions
- analyse information and ideas in order to assess bias, reliability and validity
- take different perspectives into account when making informed decisions and choices effectively
- work both independently and cooperatively to plan and complete tasks
- reflect on the roles played in group situations including leadership.

With a tying goal in the second half, Houston Dynamo forward Brian Ownby led the way for the Richmond Kickers 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Blues on Sunday, July 21. The win marked a special occasion for the Kickers, as the team celebrated its 21st anniversary with a 21-game unbeaten streak overall this season.
It was not a promising start for Richmond. They let in a goal early in the 5th minute of action. It wasn't until the 76th minute that the game changed. Ownby began the Kickers' comeback for the Kickers by scoring off of a give and go play, driving the ball into the right corner. (2:30 in the video below). Then, in the 85th minute, David Bulow scored the winning goal off of a penalty kick.
Ownby now has five goals and three assists in 15 appearances for the Kickers, who remain undefeated (11-0-8) and second in USL Pro standings. Richmond's next match is Tuesday, July 23 at 6 p.m. CT at the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Reserves.
Ownby ends his loan spell with Richmond on Sept. 14.
Moffat Bombs have great cross-appeal. They create fans from soccer enthusiasts, general sports lovers, pogonophiles and ... physicists?
The crew at Dynamo Weekly caught up with Dr. Paul Padley, professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University to learn some of the science behind Adam Moffat's rocket volley vs. New England.
The Houston Dynamo vs. Chicago Fire match at Toyota Park on September 1 has been changed from a 4 p.m. CT kickoff to a 2 p.m. start.
The match will be broadcast in English on CSN Houston and in Spanish on UniMas.

Spyder3 Print vs i1Pro/iMatch
May 16, 2013, 12:17:11 PM »
Awhile back, I was experiencing some major issue with profiling my older iPF6100. (Turned out to be a complete failure of the CYAN heads, though it was only really obvious when trying to create new profile.) As a result, I bought a Spyder3 Print, thinking my i1 (v.1) spectro had crapped out -- I didn't want to blow $1500 on the new i1 (v.2). Make a long story short, I now have two devices to create profiles. I've never had any issues with the i1, and the little I used the Spyder3 Print, it seems pretty good. Has anyone done or read any comparisions of profiles between the two? I like the thought of the Spyder having a gray scale calibration built into some of the targets, but maybe i1 is just as good. As a side note, I find for my iPF8300, I have to create my own profiles since NONE of the canned profiles I get from paper makers seems to work well on my printer.
Any thoughts or experiences? I'd do some test myself but am swamped for the near future. Thanks for the input.

I own a Spyder3Print system and I have a profile for Epson's Hot Press Natural White built with an i1 (also v.1) and I have the Epson driver profiles (which really are very good). I print on a 9900.
The Spyder profiles are nice. Not accurate, but nice. I use the custom one I mentioned above for Hot Press and the driver profiles for any other Epson paper. The only time I use a Spyder profile now is when I have to reprint something that I proofed initially through one of them.
I use the printer to reproduce artworks which I have scanned / photographed very carefully. If the colour is present in the file I need it to be present in the print. I don't want to be adjusting tone and colour to counteract the printer profile, which is what I had to do with the Spyder profiles. They introduce colour, saturation and brightness shifts that don't happen when I print through the driver or my custom profile. Blues pick up magenta and the yellow-orange-reds come out too saturated and bright, shifted to orange. There are other subtle shifts but those are the biggies.
What's more the Spyder profiles don't respond in the usual way to different rendering intents: Relative with Spyder is not like it is with an i1 profile, it's more like a perceptual rendering and BPC makes little or no difference to the output. Perceptual and Saturation are identical in output to Relative for in-gamut colour but out-of-gamut colour is dealt with differently. Saturation deals with OOG colour a bit more aggressively than Perceptual. Saturation with no BPC is the recommended intent for Spyder profiles! And it works! OOG colour is actually rendered quite nicely, albeit with the shifts mentioned.
If I was just printing my own photos casually and not trying to reproduce artworks then I would be very happy with the Spyder system. If I had known two years ago what I now know about the system I would not have bought it, but that's experience, right? The profiles are good, they give you good soft-proofing predictability, good shadow detail, pretty good BW output and a unique way of dealing with OOG colour. They do not do accurate colour, at least not accurate enough for me.

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the comprehensive thoughts on the Spyder. I've only created maybe a couple of profiles with it, being very use to the i1. Maybe I'll sell it to someone who is not quite as critical as I might be, but who could benefit from it.

Re Spyder3prnt
Magenta shift/Blue Hue You are right on. Another forum covered this topic extensively. page after page after page of comments. One solution came out towards the end by Apotheker
not nice but I also do art printing and had a problem with the real true reproduction of colours. this actually helped/resolved most of my issues. I had major problems with the bespoke profiles made for using xrite software me and bought Spyder3prnt. could not cost justify the other systems.

Their color engine I suspect. Somewhat common years ago, not quite as common today. You'll see very little of this with the i1Prism color engine.
I have a very good synthetic test file for this built by Bill Atkinsion (Bills 23 Balls). Used to be up on his site but no longer. I don't think he'd mind if anyone wants a copy, it's just awesome for finding out color engine issues like this:

I have the the Spyder 3 Print for 3 years now. In these years I used it intensively, making over 200 profiles for different papers and printers (small or large, inkjet or laser). When I write about the Spyder I can say I know what I'm talking about. It is a nice tool to start experimenting with. Profiles are mostly accurate and give pleasing results.
Recently i bought the i1Publisher Pro2. The device/software is in a different league regarding quality. After using it to make some profiles for an IPF815, IPF8300S (both running on 3rd party inks) and an ImageRunner Advace C5030, I can tell you this:
- saturated blue and red are now correct
- overall less saturated colors, more natural looking (using perceptual)
- deeper black (very-very visible on low grade papers or uncoated stock)
- better gray neutrality and color accuracy
- better dark tones rendition
- better/accurate skin tones
With Spyder Print skin tones are too warm. In my opinion Datacolor chose those specific colors to give a pleasing look (even if it is not accurate at all); I suspect it's all for marketing.
When viewed as a 3d model, the profiles made with the Spyder seem to be a little brighter than those by i1. The prints are better with the i1 profiles ; printing the PDI test target i saw a decrease in reported ink usage. On this matter I have to experiment more to reach a final conclusion.
The Spyder gives better accuracy after averaging 2 measurements; even then the i1 (with no measurements averaging) is way better because of it's color engine.
The i1 makes profiling the IR Adv C5030 easy. Being a laser printer, it doesn't print uniformly on the sheets; not from left to right and not length-wise. The scramble patches function in i1 helps a lot. Previously with the Spyder I had to print the patches at 90 degree rotations (4 times) and the average the measurements to have an usable profile. That takes me about 45 minutes. With the i1 I printed the scrambled patches twice (180 degree rotations) and averaged the measurements. The result was the best I ever had until then.

When it comes to choosing one of the newer antidepressants, a study has found they're all basically the same — except for their side effects. Researchers looked at 13 antidepressants — including such popular ones as Cymbalta, Prozac, Effexor and Zoloft — and found that they're all equally effective at treating depression. "They're interchangeable except for side effects," David Schlager, of Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, told USA Today.

The fragrance is great; I had been looking for it in stores for a long time. The good news is I finally found it; even better news is that ordering it from FragranceNet was so easy and uncomplicated and it was delivered when you said it would be. Oh, the discount(s) didn't hurt much either! Tom

Cacharel pour L' Homme is unlike any other natural spray you'll try. The spicy warm scent leaves your wrapped in comfort and calmness. It was introduced to me in 1994. I knew it was something special when a French visitor recognized it and although she couldn't speak a word of English, she asked in her sweet accent, "Cacharel?" Yes, it's French made. I brought back a bottle of it in my carry on from Italy, and almost had customs take it away on me (America's rules on carrying over three ounces.) We had to race to the check-in to not lose it. Hints of nutmeg stir the senses and welcomes happy hugs from your close friends. It's worth every penny you spend. How it has never caught on in America, I have no idea. But I know when I wear it, everyone will know who I am.

"Astoundingly, for most of our history America's nickname for Pit Bulls was "The Nanny Dog". For generations if you had children and wanted to keep them safe you wanted a pit bull, the dog that was the most reliable of any breed with children or adults."
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world again if there was no demonized breed of dog? Having had many bully-breeds in my life, around other animals and children, I can't stand to see people highlighting a dog bite just because of the breed.
Many, many dogs bite, and breeds like Pit Bulls are not the most common ones to do it.
*My little sisters learned to walk by holding onto their first dog: a pit named Rex.
*My little sisters were saved by two pits they had in their toddler years, Rex and Ice, when another dog charged into the yard while they played in the driveway. They were too young to know to run, and we were too far to get there in time. Luckily, the two pits we had were fast enough, and while one got between the girls and the dog, the other fought the attacker off until it ran. He did not chase it or fataly injure it.
*My mother's ex has a pit and a chihuahua (who has bitten me a thousand times while the bigger of the two just drowns me in kisses), and the chihuahua was saved from an attacking neighbor dog by his large protector, who jumped over the top of him and barked -- barked, not fought -- the attacker off the property.
*When going to church, I found a bully dog tied beside the road under the sun in 100 degree weather. She was a walking skeleton with blood dried all over her, but she still came up to me with a wagging tail and bounded beside me all the way to the house when I took her with me. She is now 103 pounds and sleeps under three cats that constantly groom her.
*Our most recent dog was a mother pit who was abandoned as a walking skeleton beside the road in a ditch. I discovered her while riding my horse and couldn't leave the sweet girl, who crawled up to me crying. She is now best friends with our youngest dog, follows me everywhere like a shadow, and alerts me when my newborn is crying in her crib and I am in the other room.
~Punish the Deed, Not the Breed~
My first child was born at 6:51 AM on December 10, 2011. She was 21 inches long, 9 pounds 3.4 ounces, and two days overdue. "Aylah Racheal-May"My labor pains lasted 12 hours, starting at 2cm dilated and jumping to 5cm at 2 AM check-in by midwife and then to 10cm at the last minute check. I was then told I could give in to the urge to push, and five pushes later, she slid out faster than the midwife could put her hands in the water.I had a natural birth in a tub, which I decided had too hot of water, not enough room (though it was massive), and at the end: did not take enough pain/pressure away for my comfort. Everyone gave me cold washcloths to keep on my forehead, neck, and sides, and amused me for one second when my doula announced I needed to give her a second to move her hand before I snapped her fingers off.I did panic a bit, but was actually able to relax (finally) when my momma prayed out loud and right after she finished I was allowed to push. According to my DF, I made him cry before she even came out because I kept looking to him to help me and he didn't know how to help me besides sit there holding me up, breathing with me, and telling me he wasn't going anywhere and that I could do it; and I remember at the last minute making him promise me that he could feel where her head was so I would know she was actually coming out when I was trying to push (which, I stopped for a minute after the first to ask him several times if she actually did move forward to come out).Aylah had been measured as small for weeks before delivery and when she came out, I had only seen her for one second before deciding that she was NOT small. However, I only needed a couple of stitches in the end, so I guess she wasn't too big. Her father handed her to me, weighed and measured her, cut her cord, bathed her, and dressed her before I nursed her for the first time and then he also got her diaper changed (and she showed me some loving expressions from him that I have never seen before)! She is now nursing regularly and has gone through a stack of diapers. I am also grateful she is a solid sleeper -- only having woke up twice during her constantly sleeping because of an excited family member fussing over her (fingers crossed she lets me get some sleep often).This whole pregnancy (and especially during delivery), I swore up and down she would be an only child due to increasing discomforts, but now that mommy-hormones have hit, taking away the negativity, I would certainly do it again. I never thought you could feel so strongly for someone you had never seen before, by only looking at them for a second and then their first sounds being loud cries, but you can.
Problem on this page? Briefly let us know what isn't working for you and we'll try to make it right!

Work Study
Workstudy generally refers to a federally funded program subject to certain eligibility rules. Many students assume workstudy is simply the college offering to pay them for a job but in most cases students must have financial need based on the FAFSA in order to qualify. Students receive a check made out to them for work completed and then they can spend the money however they wish. The amount of hours a student is eligible to work depends on the amount of the award and the hourly rate they are paid. At COA, a student may not work more than 20 hours per week in a workstudy program but the average amount of hours is much less than this. COA uses Maine State minimum wage for entry level positions which is currently higher than the federal minimum wage.

Registered and Licensed Dietitian
With all the festive occasions going on during the warmer months - from graduation parties to cookouts to holiday traditions - the summer season does not have to mean overindulgence on unhealthy food and weight gain. Look for small ways to promote healthy habits at celebrations with family and friends. Here are some ways you can live healthier during the summer:
Bring a healthy dish. Set a good example by bringing fruit and vegetable dishes or modifying traditional dishes with ingredients that have lower calories and fat.
Take advantage of the abundance of produce during the warmer months. Add fiber, vitamins and minerals to your recipes by adding extra veggies, nuts, beans or fruit.
If the meat options are limited to higher fat selections such as ribs, hotdogs or hamburgers, try taking a small portion or ask to share with someone. Watch high calorie additions such as mayonnaise and choose vegetables for sandwich toppings.
Curb your hunger. Arriving with an empty stomach makes it difficult to make healthy choices.
Limit alcoholic beverages. Alcohol can add many calories and might decrease your will to stick with healthy options and controlled portions.
Rely on others to bring dessert items. There will always be someone who will bring the brownies, pie or cookies. This will leave less high calorie food for you and others to feast upon at celebrations.
Choose the smallest plate or bring your own. You will be less likely to eat large portions if you have less room on your plate.
Slow down and enjoy the food. Some ways to slow your eating include talking with other guests, putting your fork down between bites and chewing foods completely. You will recognize your fullness earlier and be able to stop eating sooner. But don't get preoccupied with conversation either. Make sure you are focusing on what you are putting into your mouth. Remember, just because someone else is eating it does not mean you have to eat it too.
Act on activity. Exercise is a great stress reliever and can make things seem less hectic. It will also help you burn off those excess calories.
Be safe. Make sure your picnic food stays at safe temperatures. When in doubt, use a thermometer.

|Peaches – Peachy in July
Fresh, Sweet, Succulent
We love the fresh fruits of summer, especially the peach. As Southerners (Georgia Peaches to be exact), we would like to claim the peach but China has that distinction. The peach was first cultivated in China, almost 4,000 years ago, and plays an important part in Chinese tradition and culture and is symbolic of long life. It was mentioned in tenth century BC Chinese writings and was a favored fruit of emperors.
From China, the peach found its way to India, Persia, Europe and America. Christopher Columbus is credited with bringing peach seeds to the new world on his second and third trips. From those beginning seeds, the United States is currently the third largest producer of peaches in the world, behind China and Italy. South Carolina and Georgia rank #2 and #3, respectively, in fresh peach production, with California leading the way. Today, peaches are the second largest commercial fruit crop in the States, second only to apples.
Nutritionally, peaches are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. They are also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Niacin and Potassium, and a very good source of Vitamin C. And a medium size peach contains only 40 calories and 1 gram of dietary fiber.
Some interesting peach tips from the South Carolina Peach Commission:
What about that pit? Freestone vs. Clingstone.
Clingstone peaches – These have a firm flesh that clings to the pit, or seed. It can be removed by slicing off with a knife. Clingstone peaches are the first peaches offered every summer and are great choices for eating fresh, freezing, cooking, or drying because they hold their shape.
Freestone peaches – As the summer progresses, Freestone peaches are available. Freestones have a juicy, soft flesh that is easily separated from the pit. These peaches taste great eaten fresh and make a cook's work easier in the kitchen.
There is no taste difference between Freestone and Clingstone peaches!
Unable to eat all your peaches before they spoil?
What Are White Peaches?
Just remember, the key to choosing the best peaches – whether white or yellow – is the feel and smell of the fruit, not the color. Look for peaches that are somewhat firm yet yield lightly to pressure when applied. When you can smell the sweetness of a peach without even taking a bite, then you know that fruit is ready to eat.
August is National Peach Month, and July 17th is Peach Ice Cream Day, so KosherEye thought we would get a head-start by featuring some fabulous peach recipes:
• Perfect Peach Cobbler
A KosherEye Kitchen Tip:
Enjoy the summer bounty of fresh peaches!

Convenience and peace of mind are standard benefits of a Natiral Gas Standby Generator, as they are connected to your home or business' natural gas service, to provide you with whole-house or partial power within seconds of detecting an outage.
Natural gas is a clean burning fuel often used for heating homes and businesses. It is delivered through a network of natural gas lines that supply communities and the customers that live and operate within those communities. Typically, it is not available to rural areas or where earthquakes make interruption of service likely. Of the four most common fuels, natural gas carries the least amount of energy. In many areas, it is the most convenient and easiest to use for a standby generator because it offers a continuous and interrupted supply of fuel.

Although Ken Tynan of Butler makes a significant portion of his salary carving bears, his true passion lies in creating comic book and superheroes. For this year's Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous auction, Tynan has stuck with what comes naturally to him and has created a massive roaring grizzly out of white pine, weighing in at 400 pounds.
The 52-year-old Butler native drew attention in past years at the Rendezvous with his big green Hulk sculpture.

According to police, a 2001 Chevrolet S10 operated by Clarence E.

With a two-year contract drawing to a close in less than two months, county officials are reviewing bids from companies for ongoing recycling collections.
"The county is going to be ending a 2-year contract with ECSR [Environmental Coordination Services & Recycling]," said Bekki Titchner, recycling/solid waste coordinator for Elk County. "They've been providing services for our yearly household hazardous waste collection as well as ongoing collections for oil-based paints, pesticides, fluorescent lamps and batteries. The contract expires in April and we're rebidding for another two years.
Today marks the start of Lent, an annual period of sacrifice and reflection that lasts for 40 days, not counting Sundays, leading up to Easter.
Fr. Ross Miceli, campus minister at Elk County Catholic High School, explained that Sundays are not counted because "if you do the math, you end up with like 46 days before Easter, so you can't count Sundays."
Newly-elected Ridgway Fire Department President Keith Mader and Assistant Fire Chief Joe Gasbarre attended Tuesday afternoon's Ridgway Township Board of Supervisors meeting seeking contributions for the purchase of a new fire truck.
Mader said after two years of planning the fire department is prepared to purchase a new fire truck for $476,000, which will be a combination of a rescue and pumper truck manufactured by Spartan Chassis, Inc.
County officials expressed their gratitude Tuesday morning to Mrs. Lucille Armagost-Grabofski, a Ridgway native who now resides in Erie.
She recently presented a painting to the county's commissioners depicting the Elk County Courthouse.
"She grew up in Ridgway and painted this in 2010 of our courthouse," said Elk County Commissioner Daniel R. Freeburg. "It's an oil painting on canvas and she did it in memory of her father, Jay Gordan Armagost, he was a police officer here and he died in 1950.

Kosher Dairy Dishes
|Quiche A L'Oignon (Onion Tart Lorraine)
Adapted from Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France by Joan Nathan
The ever-popular lardon-laced quiche Lorraine is off-limits for Jews who eschew pork. In an effort to adapt the regional specialty to fit their dietary limitations, the Jews of Alsace and Lorraine created this onion tart, which I find delicious. I learned how to make it from the great chef Andree Soltner, who, before he came to America, worked for a kosher caterer in his native Alsace. Trust me, you won't miss the bacon.
To make the crust, put the flour, butter, vegetable shortening and salt in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, and pulse until crumbly. Gradually add 2 tablespoons cold water, pulsing until the dough forms a ball. Remove, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 10 inches in diameter. Gently lay it in an ungreased 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing the dough into the sides and trimming off any excess dough. Cover the dough closely with aluminum foil, and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. To make the filling, heat the butter in a frying pan. Add the onions, sugar and salt to taste, and sauté over low heat, covered, for about 30 minutes, or until the onions are golden and soft. Set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Fill the foil-lined crust with enough dried beans to cover the bottom. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 375 degrees, and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove the foil and the beans.
Put the eggs, cream, nutmeg, and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl, and beat them together until blended. Fold in the onions, then transfer the filling to the pie crust and scatter the chives on top. Return it to the oven, and bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is set and custardlike. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Yield: 6 servings

Montgomery and Frederick counties' hotel and restaurant sector saw the largest percentage job gain among industries in the past year with a 6 percent boost, outperforming typically strong fields like health care and information technology.
Some of that 2,400-job gain between January 2012 and last January was because of the addition of a new hotel in Frederick last fall, the 120-room TownePlace Suites by Marriott. And the sector will see continued boosts, as more hotels are planned to open in Montgomery and Frederick, including a 120-room Hampton Inn & Suites in Gaithersburg in August and a 140-room Cambria Suites in downtown Rockville by 2015. Planners also are reviewing a potential 222-room Westin hotel in Bethesda.
Both residents and visitors have been spending more lately in the hotel and restaurant sector now that the economy is doing better, said Kelly Groff, executive director of the Conference and Visitors Bureau of Montgomery County. Area hotels traditionally see a good boost in the spring and summer with more visitors to nearby Washington, D.C., and larger events like the AT&T National golf tournament at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda in late June.
Tourism officials are making a strong push to lure weekend leisure travelers with a campaign theme of "Spring It On," Groff said.
"Our proximity to D.C. is a real win for our hotel community," she said.
Tiger Woods played in last year's AT&T National, which helped boost hotel bookings. The AT&T National, which started in 2007 in Bethesda, moved to Newtown Square, Pa., in 2010 and 2011 to allow Congressional Country Club to prepare for the U.S. Open.
Other events that should provide a good boost to local hotels, restaurants and retailers include the Web.com Tour Mid-Atlantic Championship, a professional golf tournament slated for May 27 through June 2 at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm in Potomac, and Heritage Days in late June.
Choice Hotels International moving into its new headquarters in downtown Rockville by next week should bring more business in the form of conventions and meetings to that area, which is close to a Metro station, Groff said. Besides the more than 400 employees at headquarters, Choice Hotels franchises six hotels in the county that employ about 150 total, said Sarah Lee, a company spokeswoman.
Hotel occupancy in Montgomery County last year actually declined slightly to 64.4 percent from 65.1 percent in 2011, according to figures from market research firm Smith Travel Research. Revenue per available room dropped about $1 to $79 in 2012.
In the first two months this year, both occupancy rates and revenue rose by 5 percent from the same months in 2012.
"We are hoping for a gradual increase in 2013, although the government sequestration may impact our group market," Groff said.
Frederick County saw a slight decline in hotel occupancy last year, from 66.6 percent in 2011 to 66.2 percent in 2012. But revenue per room rose to $58.23 last year from $54.91 in 2011. Occupancy and revenue were down slightly in the first two months.
The Frederick County Bell & History Day on Saturday marks the opening of the county's museum season. Several museums and historic sites will be free Saturday.
The Frederick Keys minor league baseball team also opens its season Friday night.

The Incarnation reveals an intelligible world in which the scientist can be at home, a world where concepts like goodness, truth, beauty, justice, and love have real and abiding meaning.
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
These finds open up a new horizon of research into the earliest hominins and how they lived. They also provide us with even more clues in our ongoing search for the last common ancestor.
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
If, according to evolutionary theory, the human species has evolved from non-human ancestors over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, how might we understand humans as uniquely bearing the image of God?
From geology to biology to research into the origin of life itself, the power of water shows the faithfulness and creativity of our Creator.

St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
Origins has given us a lot to think about, namely that there are indeed several "Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and ID", as the title states. Genuine believers have thought deeply and carefully about the various kinds of evidence and have come to differing conclusions.
From the archives: A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.

Comments On Jan 18, 2014:Easy bolt on accessory to provide a little extra protection to your front brake lever. If you've purchased the levers, you should purchase the cover.

Comments On May 10, 2013:The dust cover actually works, not just for looks. I went with out one for six months and dust and sand was all over. Bought it and thought if anything it would look good but it actually did work good.
