A Nancy Macaroon Weekend
Macaroons are the cupcakes of France: they're everywhere - and all through France, claims are made as to which "macarons" are the ones with pedigree or the royal stamp or the best-loved by the locals.
The city of Nancy in northeastern France has one of the best claims to macaroon supremacy with a story that includes a pair of defiant 18th-century Benedictine nuns going into hiding at a local doctor's home and baking macaroons on the sly, using a Renaissance recipe that has been zealously guarded and passed from generation to generation for more than 200 years. You eat a Nancy macaroon and you're eating the history of France.
The unofficial slogan of Nancy, France is "I Heart N Y" - with an unobtrusive lowercase "anc" between the N and the Y: in other words, a touch of New York brash in the midst of la belle France.
But then, Nancy is the city that rivaled Paris as a center of art and architecture at the end of the 19th century and was often referred to as the "Capital of the East." First built in the 11th century, Nancy was the one-time capital of the Duchy of Lorraine, which helped it attract many artists. "Art in all" and "Art for all" was the battle cry of those young, well-educated, and cultivated artists who fled to Nancy with the annexation of Alsace by Germany in 1871.
A youthful city with numerous universities and schools of higher learning, Nancy is home to more than 45,000 students. Ninety minutes from Paris by TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse or French high speed train), Nancy makes for a perfect weekend getaway.
Apart from macaroons, Nancy is celebrated for the "Ecole de Nancy," a loose confederation of remarkable Art Nouveau artists who worked at the dawn of the 20th century and whose work gained worldwide acclaim for the amalgamation of art and industry, which they made manifest in works done in wrought iron, cabinetry, stained glass, jewelry, sculpture, glassware, pottery, bookbinding, and architecture.
The Ecole de Nancy artists included decorator and furniture designer Louis Majorelle, ironworker and artist Jean Prouvé (who wore a leather apron for many years, in honor of his fellow smithies), glassmakers Antonin and Auguste Daum, and architect Lucien Weissenburger, all of whom ushered in a rebirth of decorative arts and a new dynamism in furniture design.
By utilizing local flora for their plant-inspired designs, these artists popularized Art Nouveau (and Nancy) the world over. The application of art to civic buildings insured that the city became a repository of the Art Nouveau style and, today, even a casual wander through the city provides you with some stunning examples of this exuberant artistic movement.
For those who love crystal and glass, Nancy is the home of Daum, the celebrated glassworks whose history mirrors the development of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Since 1878, Daum has been manufacturing limited edition and unique "objets d'art," often utilizing the technique of "pate de verre" (or "lost wax"), which dates back to 5000 B.C.
A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983, Stanislas Square at the heart of Nancy is one of the most beautiful royal squares in Europe. An 18th-century square built in 1755 as a perfect example of French classicism, Stanislas Square is surrounded by gold embossed gates with fountains. The square's four sides include the city hall, the opera house, the theatre, and the fine arts museum.
During summer, in the evenings, the facades of Stanislas Square are illuminated by a captivating, 20-minute sound and light show that showcases the history of the city of Nancy and its love for art, beauty, and technology.
After your peregrinations about the city, take a seat at one of the several cafes on Stanislas Square and order a plate of macaroons.
The man in front of you, the statue at the square's center, is Stanislas Leczinsky, the former King of Poland who became the Duke of Lorraine (and the father-in-law of Louis XV). With an upraised arm, he points north - toward what? The brothels of the old city? The fleur-de-lis in the Arc de Triomphe?
Whatever you decide, raise a toast to the man whose aesthetic vision enabled you to be seated in such a splendid setting.
By nightfall, you too will concur: I HEART N anc Y.

I installed the Pulstar plugs in my 2005 Harley ultra classic and noticed an increase in fuel economy, smoother running and a slight power increase. So I have recommended them to several other riders who have made the upgrade.
I first saw Pulstar spark plugs advertised on TV. As a retired Fireman I recognized the difference in the combustion chamber explosion. That vision said "self you better buy those puppies". As a cheap old guy the lifetime warranty spoke loudly.
You guys have really made something that is incredible in all aspects of everything.
After putting the Autolite plugs back in (my 09 Harley FXDC Dyna) the pinging and misfiring was back! The Pulstars NEVER did this while using! The HE1-IT's are back in and will not be taken out ever again! Thank you for a product that does what it promises!
I have a 1997 S-10 4.3 L 4x4 auto.... originally 16 mpg.... 17 mpg with a Tornado.... (with Pulstar) 231.8 mi and 21.8 mpg....4.8 more mpg!
We now have them in our '07 Saturn Greenline Hybrid with the 2.4 VVT Engine and can honestly say we have dramatically increased our MPG.
My gas mileage has jumped from an average of 22.1 to 25.4...the torque is almost scary high.. Just the way I like it.
I am so impressed with your plugs that i just ordered a set for my daughters 2006 pt cruiser.
WOW! what a vast improvement! The car is much more "lively" and gas pedal response is much "quicker"! The car seems to have much more torque and pulling power.
I can not tell you how pleased with the get up and go my truck now has. The throttle response is very quick, I can't keep my heavy foot of the pedal. Thanks so much for offering these plugs...

As you crunch down on a spoonful of corn flakes, do you ever long for a hearty breakfast? The type of feast they might serve on a farm?
To feast like a farmer, there is no need to raise your own chickens or cattle. Instead, pull up a chair at the sale barn cafe in the Creston Livestock Auction. That is, if you can find a seat in this packed cafe.
Creston Livestock Auction was established in the late 1930s, and Tom and Leisa Frey of Creston have owned the business since 1999. They sell all classes of cattle, including feeders, bred heifers, bred cows and slaughter animals. Regular sales are held every Friday with hay auctions at 9 a.m. and cattle sale at 11 a.m.
You can't miss the bright-red barn on North Cherry Street. The full parking lot indicates either a sale is taking place or local farmers are gathering to exchange stories over a cup of steaming coffee.
"I've been coming here for 30 to 40 years," said Donny Pottinger, a retired farmer. "And after all that time, the coffee is still hot."
With a chuckle, Pottinger adds the coffee is sometimes good, but mostly bad. Either way, he's is a loyal patron for the friendly and attentive staff, but mostly for the company of his friends.
Sherri Baker, the sale barn cafe cook, said farmers have been coming for so long, they have all earned nicknames. Some are based on a farmer's regular orders or appearance, and others have earned a nickname based on their personalities.
"That's 'Beef Cake' over there," Baker said. "I don't know exactly how he got that name."
The staff admits they can't always remember some of the regulars' names because they have been referenced by their nicknames for so long.
"We are always joking with them," Baker said. "And they joke back. They enjoy it."
The menu
Whether you are in search of a meal to fuel your body for a long day of labor or just enough to leave you rubbing your tummy, the sale barn cafe has a menu chock full of hot dishes to curb any appetite.
Breakfast favorites include golden french toast, fluffy pancakes, and biscuits and gravy
Baker's specialty is the Honeymoon, a scrambled combination of eggs, sausage, and hash browns.
A full lunch menu boasts an array of grilled delights, including burgers, tenderloin, fish and grilled cheese sandwiches.
And don't forget to leave room for dessert. The dessert menu, which will satisfy any sweet tooth, includes seasonal pies by the slice or a la mode, decadent chocolate or strawberry sundaes, and candy bars.
Marion Gildsig reminisced on the unfortunate dining experience of Dean Hoffman.
"Dean isn't here anymore," Gildsig said. "But he'd come in every Friday morning and order gooseberry pie."
One morning, Dean complained about his gooseberry pie, insisting something was wrong with it. The cook explained she had made it the same way every day, but because Dean insisted, she retreated to the kitchen to check the can of gooseberries.
"It turned out, she had opened a can of peas," Marion said. "She had made pea pie!"
The table exploded in laughter.
"We're still alive because we haven't eaten the food," Pottinger said with a chuckle.
Although no farmer could pinpoint a menu favorite, they agreed that they enjoyed the comfort-style, big breakfast. A vote among a table of seven farmers on a recent morning revealed scrambled eggs, biscuits and bacon are the most popular eats.
Pottinger, who jokes about not eating the food, actually enjoys eggs and bacon.
"Sometimes I'll have biscuits and gravy, just to mix it up."
When to visit
While no reservations are necessary, Friday is sale day and the busiest of the week. The sale barn cafe is open 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If an auction runs late, sometimes as late as 8 p.m., the cafe will remain open until the close of the sale.

Maybe it exists...I'm accessing this site on a phone app and from looking...I tad vauge compared to full site...but wondered if there is, or if not, would it be a good idea to have a form to "Review Miller Products"?
Simple why you went with Miller...why the model you purchased....and pros & cons.
If there is a dedicated form already for this appologise but on the app only 3 actual forms show. Welding discussions. Welding projects and I think the 3rd is Racing.
For me, one spot to read real users reviews of the model they bought would have been worth while when buying. I think I made the right choice but was headed down the wrong road at first.

Good to hear. I could have my son do a review of our circa 1973-1974 Dialarc 250. It is one serial number higher than that listed in the oldest manual I can find.
Looks good & welds sweet. If I could find another one for $300., I'd get it.

Step 1: Ingredients
Lemon Juice - 1-2 table spoons
I did, seems to work just fine.
First, note that most fruit leather is 90% apples with 10% blueberries, plums, strawberries or other – or 100% apples.
Cut the apples into quarters and remove the core. Leave the skin on. Cut smaller and fill a big microwave-proof bowl. Add a small amount of other fruit if you like. Microwave until the apple is cooked (doing it in the microwave means you don't have to add extra liquid to prevent it burning).
Now transfer the fruit to your food processor, add a good dollop of honey and process until everything is pureed.
In a small room in your house, set up a de-humidifier and a sheet of plywood or similar covered with a piece of 6mil polythene (the fruit leather doesn't stick to poly). Spread the fruit puree onto the plastic at about quarter of an inch thick, switch on the de-humidifier and close the door. In about 24 hours or maybe less, the leather is dry enough to be peeled off and turned over. Another 24 hours and it will probably be 'done'. Roll it up and bag it as it is hygroscopic.
I actually made a gadget to spread an even ¼ inch layer of the puree 6 inches wide, rather like a hopper. This is just a simple wooden box about 6 inches wide and 2 inches across and 2 or 3 inches deep, open top and bottom. But one of the long sides is ¼ inch less deep so that when placed on the plastic there is a ¼ inch slot at the bottom. I fill the hopper and as I drag it across the plastic it deposits an exact 6 inch wide x ¼ inch thick ribbon of puree.
I've always wanted to try drying fruits for hiking and mountaineering, will try it out one of these days...
ehm.. for "tonygoffe"... i think that's a great question by Korlee, since instructible members aren't only people residing in the US, and certainly not everyone are using the Imperial Measure.
SUGGESTION : ALL Instructables should be posted in BOTH systems..so that the rest of the world may benefit.............not that difficult1!
many more I expect, so we generation that are stuck in the past have to try converting everything from metric into imperial which is a nightmare,
so just leave the pint, quart, 3/16" 2" etc alone and get on with your life,
in peace
Use the units you want, ant let others do the same. But this is all about communication, so specifying the units you are using is part of a good communication.
Also do you have to add the lemon juice? Or is it just for preserving it?
Lovely instructable! Gotta try at next summer, there's no strawberries in 0,5m of snow ;)
So it's about 60C :)
Thanks for the reminder, now I just have to wait for a summer so I can harvest some strawberries, mind you I don't think here in the UK we've seen a summer for years. :-)

Sleeker, faster and even more beautiful, the iPad Air 2 boasts an even more eye-popping Retina Display in a design that's 18 percent thinner than the original Air.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Aaron Hill hit a pair of homers and finished with three RBI, as the Arizona Diamondbacks held on for a 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants in the second of a three-game set.
Chris Young had a pair of doubles and two RBI for the Diamondbacks, who have won both games so far by identical scores. Daniel Hudson (1-0) gave up four runs on five hits in 6 2/3 innings and added two hits and a run scored at the plate.
"There were a couple of things I didn't do well today," said Hudson. "A couple of mistakes that they put over the wall and I didn't get enough first-pitch strikes. There's some things I need to work on."
Pablo Sandoval and Brett Pill each hit a two-run home run for the Giants, who saw starter Madison Bumgarner (0-1) give up four runs on seven hits in just four innings.
"It was similar to yesterday in that we were down early and tried to come back," said San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy. "It's a good sign that we're coming back, but we have to start better."
The Diamondbacks wasted no time in scoring as Hill hit a one-out home run and Young later doubled home Justin Upton, who reached base on a walk and moved to second on a Miguel Montero single.
The second inning saw Arizona add to its lead when Hill clubbed a two-out, two-run homer for a 4-0 lead.
The Giants cut their deficit in half in the fourth as Melky Cabrera hit a leadoff single and Sandoval followed with a shot over the right field wall.
Arizona got one back in the fifth as Montero hit a one-out single, moved to second on a wild pitch and came home on a Young double.
In the seventh, Brandon Belt drew a leadoff walk and Pill clubbed a pinch-hit homer to cut the lead to one.
That was it for the scoring, though, as David Hernandez worked around a one- out single in the eighth and J.J. Putz pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save of the young season.
Arizona has won seven straight over San Francisco...The Diamondbacks go for the sweep on Sunday with Josh Collmenter on the mound and he will be opposed by Matt Cain...Last time Arizona started out 2-0 was in 2002...It was Hill's fourth career two-home run game.

Of course if you are right (and you frequently are on matters photographic ), then the Dell 2405 would appear to be a monitor that
capable of being accurately calibrated despite what Daniel has been saying on this matter. Perhaps Jani now wonders why he returned his.
Well, Dell still hasn't come around to dealing with the shipping.
And there were other problems with calibration that I mentioned, such as the complete inability of the spectrophotometer to notice adjustments in individual RGB colors when I calibrated for a brighter target. I only achieved some degree of predictability (in terms of repeated, near-identical results) when I turned down the brightness in the ATI Catalyst Control Panel, and that showed visible, horrible results in a granger test chart.
That the spectrophotometer actually worked - with repeatable, near-identical results - for a dimmer monitor (my old Samsung 710T) seemed definitely to indicate that it had to do with the Dell's brightness being out of range for the sensor.
Maybe there is enough sample variation between the Dell monitors that this isn't an inherent problem, but I'm not willing to ask for a new monitor, wait another month, try again, lather, rinse, repeat until I get one that actually works.
And after making it work, I'd have to redecorate to get the correct ambient lighting. ::
I'm not discounting that I may have to do something about the ambient lighting anyway, but perhaps I can do that without making it too bright inside.

I ordered the same model on June 24th, and my sample arrived yesterday. It's huge, but consider that praise.
I'm getting conflicting reports on the net regarding the blacks. Some say they are still not as good as a CRT. That extra real estate should be good for photoshop, but I hate having to compromise on quality. The PVA technology (patterned vertical alignment) is supposed to be a major improvement. How do you find the image quality in general, compared to a CRT? For a lower price than the Dell 2405 in Australia I can get a LaCie 22" CRT with a dot pitch of 0.24mm and maximum resolution of 2048x1536, which I guess would be more accurate than all but the most expensive LCD monitors. I'm undecided

There's always the Samsung 213T. It's not the fanciest LCD technology, but luminance with default settings is about 120 cd/m (down from approximately 140 a year ago when it was new) and it calibrates very nicely.

Or they're using a calibration device that isn't as good as some others available. See
Well it's not necessarily a matter of using a calibration device that's not as good as some others, but more like using a calibration device that complements the monitor or is the most compatible with the monitor.
The Dry Creek results you refer to support this. ColorVision Spyder2 is not particularly good on any of the monitors in the Dry Creek analysis, even the Sony Artisan. But all of the Dry Creek results are comparing the performance of different calibrators against a particular monitor. One cannot draw any conclusions about the relative performance of any particular monitor/calibrator combination.
It so happens I recently received in the mail, shipped all the way from the US of A, an X-rite DTP94 spyder with ColorEyes software. I look forward to testing this on all my monitors which include a very average 17" Sony SDM-S74 LCD which I bought to play around with my 64 bit system, but will eventually hand it down to my ex wife (the monitor, not the 64 bit system). Of course the DTP94 does not support 64 bit operating systems. (Didn't these manufacturers and software developers know that 64 bit was on its way
But I have a dilemma. I can't decide which has greater priority; demonstrating that fine grain MF film can be superior to the 1DsMkll, or demonstrating how much better ColorEyes is than my original ColorVision spyder

if i decrease the brightness on a monitor that has been calibrated, does that render the calibration completely useless?
If the monitor has been accurately and successfully calibrated, then of course any subsequent changes to contrast and brightness will throw out the calibration. Once your monitor has been calibrated, you should not make further adjustments, and in the case of an LCD, not even tilt the monitor.
However, I have little experience with LCD monitors. I would have thought a high contrast ratio should compensate to some degree for excessive brightness, ie. 1000:1 plus 500 cd/m2 perhaps could be adjusted before calibration to a contrast ratio of 500:1 in conjunction with a brightness of 250 cd/m2, but as explained before, if this can only be done through the video card, then you are throwing away much needed levels (0-255). In any case 250 cd/m2 seems still too bright.
When I calibrate my 19" Viewsonic CRT, starting with contrast at a maximum and brightness at a minimum, the initial measured brightness is around 130 cd/m2. The calibration instructions specify that brightness should be in the range of 85-95 cd/m2, which means I have to bring the contrast down from its maximum at some point during the calibration procedure.
I still don't understand how LCDs can be less strain on the eyes if one is staring at 500 cd/m2 of brightness as opposed to 90 cd/m2 for a calibrated CRT

The Blue-Eye is nothing more than the original Eye-One (not the Eye-One 2) and according to
the Eye-One 2 will turn out better calibration results.
Are you sure that you're not confusing this with the old Blue-Eye?
There is a Blue-Eye 2 now, and the test is of the "Blue-Eye 1.0.3".
The Blue-Eye Pro is relatively new (January this year), and seems to be based off either the Blue-Eye 2 or something else.
Ah, then it may be based off the Eye-One 2. Still I'd be hesitant on buying it untill I know the software end of things is up to par. Since the Eye-One 2 is cheaper than either of the Blue-Eyes I'd personally just stick with what is proven.
Heck, if you want to spend $350 then just get the Eye-One and that Color Eyes software Michael reviewed and then you'd have a top-notch monitor calibration system.

Well, it's true. People are dawn to shiny things. That's why chromium plated bumper bars and tail fins are (were) so popular on American automobiles.
But the fact is, if you're watching TV in a normally lit room, in daytime, you need a high brightness, high contrast ratio, TV set.
The move is now on to create acceptable LCD TV sets with sufficient brightness to be impressive even in daylight from a distance.
Over the past week and half, I've had to explain this point to several of my friends, while adding that it's
not a bad monitor
. It's just not right for this use. In a brightly lit room, there probably is no problem!
However, such screens are not ideal as computer monitors, unless they have a 'low brightness' mode.
The question is, is the low brightness mode ideal for calibration?
As long as the brightness adjustment is in the brightness of whatever actually emits light, and the lighting still remains even and reliably adjustable, I don't see why not. But perhaps your question is rather about whether it's possible to create something that works well on "normal" light levels as well as for burning bright?
I don't know.

A monitor that is inherently too bright is likely to produce prints that are too dark. Suggestions sometimes can become self-fulfilling prophesies. Someone tells you the monitor is too bright. You expect the prints therefore to be too dark. You see a print that is too dark for obvious reasons that everything is too dark with insufficient light (except things like monitors that have their own light), and you think there's a problem.

I'm getting conflicting reports on the net regarding the blacks. Some say they are still not as good as a CRT. That extra real estate should be good for photoshop, but I hate having to compromise on quality. The PVA technology (patterned vertical alignment) is supposed to be a major improvement. How do you find the image quality in general, compared to a CRT?
I must admit that I haven't seen a high-quality CRT in ages, and that it's a failing of my own. I had a medium-quality CRT, and after 5 years of service, I bought my Samsung 710T. Most of my friends and colleagues moved to LCD monitors before me.
Comparing is difficult without having a high-quality CRT right next to it, but from what I can see, I'm tentatively satisfied. The blacks are really very close to black, at least according to my eye.
The Samsung 710T was good enough (except for the lamentable brightness/contrast change depending on vieweing angle) to replace any consumer grade CRT, and similarly-priced CRTs were no longer available. The Dell 2405FPW is a very clear step above it.
I have no problem seeing myself choosing this one over a CRT, but the chief reasons would be:
- Screen real estate
- Geometric perfection
- Desk space saved
There's currently no way that I could fit a 22" CRT on my desk, and even a 20" would be pushing it.
Quality wise, I'm reminded of the Apple Cinema Display HD 30" model, except for the size. Perhaps it is the same panel as in the 23" HD? Dell's panels are made by Philips, according to my Dell representative.
The factory supplied profile works well for daily use.
Viewing angle differences in brightness/contrast are nearly invisible, as they are on the Apple 30". I don't see significant differences until I've changed the viewing angle by 30 degrees or more.
Reflections from other light sources do not appear to be disturbing after my first two evenings of use.
The contrast is good (as it should be, with a 1000:1 specification). I see fairly clear differences between dark greys and near-black while retaining differences between different highlights, which is clearly better than the previous display. But there are still differences I'd like to see, which I hope will improve with proper calibration.
As others have commented, yes, the display is bright. But that
I can't comment on color reproduction yet, though it appears to be easier to get good reproduction out of this unit than from the 710T.
My images certainly
better, but whether that comes from spending approximately 1500 dollars on a display or not, well, who knows ...
There are no dead or stuck pixels that I can see yet.
And of course, being able to view entire images at 45% rather than just 30% has immense value for judging quickly whether something might be a keeper or not.
If both contrast and color reproduction improve just a bit after calibration, I'll keep* this monitor.
And I'll certainly post my opinion.
For a lower price than the Dell 2405 in Australia I can get a LaCie 22" CRT with a dot pitch of 0.24mm and maximum resolution of 2048x1536, which I guess would be more accurate than all but the most expensive LCD monitors. I'm undecided .
That monitor (LaCie Electron 22blue IV, I presume) is at almost exactly the same price as the Dell over here. Dell recently slashed the price by nearly 40%, permanently, just after I'd haggled for a lower price for my monitor. Maybe you can try to do the same.
I also considered the LaCie 321, but after reading a couple of favorable reviews of the Dell, I suspected that this monitor might just be good enough while providing a really comfortable amount of screen real estate.
*Thanks to Norwegian legislation on remote purchases, I'm allowed to decide to return this monitor within 14 days of receiving it, as long as it's in fundamentally the same state and I pay for the return shipping. So I'm not using it as a whiteboard quite yet.

Calibrating this monitor feels like fumbling in the blind, now that I've done it a few more times.
I think I can see how the problems occur.
The Eye-One Pro spectrophotometer has a specified working range of 0-300 cd/m^2.
An unadjusted Dell 2405FPW is at well above that, according to the same spectrophotometer.
So, er, no wonder it has problems seeing the correct red, green and blue values if the brightness is high. If the brightness is low, the problem is less pronounced, but that means fiddling with the LUT in the graphics card instead.
For instance, my three latest calibration runs have passed with three quite different RGB settings in the monitor's configuration. I don't recall what the first of these value sets was, but I think it was 50-something red, 50 green and 53 blue. The second was 34/35/40. The third was 34/36/43. And I still couldn't get the graphical representation of the RGB sliders to align properly.
Of course, my eyes can't tell the difference between these settings, because it's impossible to do a side-by-side comparison. But what I can see quite clearly, is the following:
You can choose to have a "correct" brightness level with a color distribution that is as good as the monitor can do, but with fewer colors to play around with. Or you can choose to have a brightness level where every pastel in the Granger chart is too bright, and the brighter pastels are nearly white.
The monitor is so bright that it's uncomfortable working with in a normally illuminated room. Perhaps it would work in an operation room, a sunny pavillion or other environments where the lighting must be brighter.
In contrast (ha ha), the Samsung 710T that I want to ditch because of its narrow viewing angles, is far more easily calibrated. I don't have to fudge around with the contrast setting, it can remain at 100%. The only LCD settings I have to touch are brightness and RGB levels just ever-so-slightly.
The Samsung won't win any medals for representing the rose print I made to the Ilford paper, either, but it actually seems a bit closer this time. I suspect the problem with the Dell is that my screen just is a bit too blue after calibration, and that since the spectrophotometer can't read off the correct blue value, Eye-One Match generates an incorrect profile.
I'm not only inclined to agree with Daniel's assessment that this monitor is unsuitable for color critical use, I also think that it needs special circumstances to be a good monitor. All of this could probably be avoided if Dell had only allowed for a lower background lighting level, but perhaps that exposes other weaknesses in the panel.
I should return this monitor before I get too accustomed to a wide-screen working space. My finances and workspace don't allow for two big monitors on the same desk. ::
But what I should buy instead is an open question. Both the Apple HD 23" and the LaCie 321 are appealing and in the same price class (although 30-50% above the Dell). I suspect that the LaCie is the better choice then, though.
And should someone decide to dump a big load of money on me, the CG220 is waiting for my order.

Do I sense here that you really want to keep this monitor, Jani ?
No, I've already called Dell and notified them that I want to exercise my consumer rights, and they accepted (as they have to, but they accepted in a very professional manner).
So a few days' worth of usage of this monitor has cost me the equivalent of 30 dollars in shipping and return shipping. It was worth it to find out, even though I hate wasting money.
Now excuse me for a few minutes while I whack my head for not ordering a GMB color checker when I ordered that Kata rain cover earlier from B&H. ::
There, back again.
If you are at all serious about making prints you know you will have to calibrate the monitor and probably get custom profiles for your printer.
Of course, and I'm deliberating whether I should get the Blue-Eye Pro with the LaCie 321 (for hardware-to-hardware calibration), or if I should get the Eye-One Photo and have the option of making my own custom print profiles.
When you're hooked on getting better quality, it's hard to stop!
I wonder which LCD models use the other 24" Samsung panel with 300 cd/m2 brightness, the LTM240W1?
Me, too. I also wonder how I can find out, and if I should bother with it.

It's not that much cheaper over here; the difference is approximately 50 dollars (incl. taxes) in favor of Eye-One 2 over Blue-Eye 2, if I buy them separately.
However, one shop sells the LaCie 321 with the Blue-Eye Pro for a premium of only 200 dollars (incl. taxes).
Heck, if you want to spend $350 then just get the Eye-One and that Color Eyes software Michael reviewed and then you'd have a top-notch monitor calibration system.
Well, importing ColorEyes (I haven't found a Norwegian reseller) incurs a 25% tax on the software
the shipping cost, so I'll first have to see how expensive shipping is. It's clearly not any cheaper than getting the Blue-Eye Pro. But that X-Rite bundle is of course tempting.
However, there remains the question of printer calibration, and I suspect that I might just get an Eye-One Photo set instead of purchasing two different devices to achieve this.

Well, let's work through this in a logical fashion. Your prints are too dark,
but are the colours accurate?
To test this, view the print outside in true daylight (D65). Are you in fact making prints that are best viewed in outdoor light when you really want them to look best indoors in dimmer light?
If one wishes to be absolutely precise about this whole issue of calibration and print matching, any print will look best only under specific lighting conditions. A print that's created to look best in a daylit room cannot also look good in the evening with tungsten lights. (Well it might also look good. There's no accounting for personal taste, but it won't look the same.)
If you want to view the prints in a permanent fashion under your current lighting conditions but the prints are too dark, then the image on the screen needs to be lightened through real adjustments, that is, internal adjustments to brightness and levels. Changing the appearance of the image on screen by increasing the ambient light in your work area has no effect on the image data whatsoever of course.
Jonathan's solution is not as simple as it sounds. As far as I can tell, my X-rite colorimeter has no means of measuring ambient light. In fact, it seems designed to exclude ambient light as much as possible. If your prints are too dark for the lighting conditions you want to view them under, you have to change the viewing conditions for your monitor so that you would feel compelled to brighten the image on screen with Photoshop tools. Simply increasing ambient light around the monitor might be the solution if you want to permanently view the prints in those increased lighting conditions. If you don't, then you'll need to produce prints that actually look too light in the bright lighting conditions around your work area.

How To Cook Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs in the Oven
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
I am a huge, huge fan of boneless skinless chicken thighs. They are inexpensive, tasty, and easy to cook. In fact, I find it difficult to mess up chicken thighs. They are just dark enough to stay tender, but not so dark as to put off people who prefer white meat. In the summer I grill these babies every week, especially when I have a big table of people to feed.
Everyone who eats regularly at my house has eaten chicken thighs! But in the winter, when I don't feel like stepping outside to the grill, I bake the meat, and it's easy as 1-2-3. Here's what I do.
I just love how quick these are. They are truly a weeknight meal. You can come in the door with a package of meat, throw off your coat, pop these in the oven and make a salad, and by the time they're done you'll have just finished opening the wine.
How To Cook Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs in the Oven
What You Need
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
Sauce or additional seasonings (optional)
9-inch or 8-inch baking dish
1. Buy boneless skinless chicken thighs. I mention this as one of the steps here because I think it's always worth talking about where you get your meat. And I certainly don't mean to be didactic — I think meat is something most of us are conscious of, and we all try to get the best stuff we can. My point is really to say that chicken thighs are one of the cheapest, easiest things to buy organic or pasture-raised. Even at a high-end butcher counter, these only cost me $4/pound, for instance.
2. Heat the oven to 425°F. Put the chicken in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. The most basic seasoning that this meat really needs is salt and pepper. At this point, if I'm not adding another sauce, I drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the meat too, to help it brown well in the oven.
3. Make a baking sauce (optional). If you want to add a little more punch to the chicken, you can make a quick sauce of nearly any oil, acid, and spices. Here, for instance, I combined a couple tablespoons olive oil and about 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar with 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 4 garlic cloves, and a dash of red pepper flakes. I often make Asian-inspired sauces with sesame oil, rice vinegar, and lots of chili garlic sauce. You can also pour pre-made salad dressing over the chicken.
4. Toss the chicken with the baking sauce. Coat the chicken with the sauce.
5. Spread the chicken in the baking dish. No need to grease the dish. Just lay the chicken inside.
6. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F. Boneless skinless thighs cook quickly. Check after 20 minutes, and if they are not quite up to temperature, put back in the oven and continue cooking and checking the temperature in 5-minute increments.
7. Remove the chicken from the oven and rest the meat, covered, for 10 minutes. Cover the baking dish with foil and let the chicken rest. This will help it be more tender. Eat and enjoy!

So I'm thinking of just going alone, I really can't picture missing this concert because they won't be touring in New York when I get home next year!

Will BP Target Chemicals in Asset Disposal Plan?
12:51 AM MDT | June 28, 2010 | Natasha Alperowicz
Speculation is mounting on which businesses BP will sell as part of its announced asset disposal program to strengthen financial liquidity following the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP agreed to pay $20 billion over the next three and a half years to a fund to compensate victims of the disaster. BP has announced a $10-billion divestment program over the next 12 months, "likely to be non-core upstream assets." The whole of the portfolio, however, is being reviewed and industry sources speculate that some chemicals may also form part of the disposals...

By: Philip Howard, Research Director - Data Management, Bloor Research
Published: 24th August 2012
Copyright Bloor Research © 2012
As a general rule I do not outright recommend any particular product from any particular vendor but I am going to make an exception in the case of Excel 2013 and the accompanying release of SharePoint.
Other analysts have described the enhanced business intelligence capabilities of Excel 2013 and these may be terrific but they represent an evolution of the existing capabilities rather than something dramatically new. What is brand new is the governance and compliance capabilities that will be in Excel 2013.
Last year Microsoft acquired Prodiance, a leading provider of spreadsheet management tools. While by no means the largest (in terms of users) of the vendors in this space I have always liked the Prodiance user interface and it had all the major features one would expect from a spreadsheet management product: the ability to discover spreadsheets, facilities to associate the risks associated with each spreadsheet (by business value, complexity, likelihood of breakage and so on), error detection and remediation, and the ability to take spreadsheets under central control.
In Excel 2013 all of these features will be built in, either to Excel itself or SharePoint. To my mind this makes Excel 2013 a more or less mandatory acquisition. It means that, for the first time, you can get proper governance and error checking and correction facilities built directly into Excel.
This release is going to have some serious consequences in the market. There are, broadly speaking, two categories of product in the spreadsheet management space: error detection and correction tools such as Spreadsheet Detective that you can download for a few hundred dollars, and full-blown spreadsheet management tools (like Prodiance) from companies such as Cimcon, Cluster Seven and Finsbury Solutions as well as Boardwalktech (which is more about collaboration) and Lyquidity (more focused on the mid-market). Where do any of these vendors go? Why bother with the likes of Spreadsheet Detective and its ilk when you can get comparable facilities for free? And why spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars on a solution from Cimcon or Cluster Seven for the same reason? That's not to say that you might not prefer one of these solutions to Microsoft's but that will have to be an awfully big preference to justify the cost involved. Of course, for a while there will remain a market for these companies in pre-2013 versions of Excel but that will gradually disappear. In short, I cannot see these companies surviving long-term unless they can diversify.
However, this does not necessarily mean the end for all of these companies. With Excel 2013 having built-in governance I would not recommend anyone using Google Spreadsheets or Open Office in preference to Excel 2013 for anything except trivial applications. So, if Google (say) wants to compete with Microsoft at the enterprise level then it will have to develop or acquire comparable governance capabilities to Microsoft: which means that there is the possibility of an acquisition for any of Prodiance's erstwhile competitors. But other than that I don't hold out much hope.
The position with BI companies that target what used to be known as spreadmarts is slightly different. Actuate, for example, markets BIRT Spreadsheet (what used to be Actuate e.Spreadsheet). Theoretically this directly competes with Excel 2013 in that it offers both spreadsheet and governance capabilities but what the new features of Excel 2013 mean is that Actuate has now to persuade users to give up Excel for its environment, for no immediately obvious gain in functionality. That looks like a hard task. Of course, Actuate has other strings to its bow so it's not going to be in the same position as the pure-play vendors discussed above but, again, I don't really see this product surviving either.
So the bottom line is that Excel 2013 represents a killer blow by Microsoft. It will destroy other vendors in the spreadsheet governance space and removes any technical reasons for moving away from Excel to other environments.
Posted: 25th August 2012 | By Patrick O'Beirne :
Philip, when you say "In Excel 2013 all of these features will be built in" do you know when? I have not seen them in the preview. Is there any doc as to what will actually be provided?
If it's comprehensive, it's the end of a cottage industry!
Posted: 25th August 2012 | By John :
I've had a quick play with Excel 2013, and perhaps I missed something, but I found the "error detection" capabilities to be very, very limited. Certainly nothing to remotely rival any of the commercial error detection tools. Unless Microsoft expand the functionality of their "Inquire" tool prior to the final release of Excel 2013, I'd say that commercial error detection addins have absolutely nothing to fear.
I can't really comment on Spreadsheet Management packages as I'm not familiar with the space but from what I've read, they have more to fear.
Posted: 25th August 2012 | By Ray Panko :
I have been doing spreadsheet research since the 1980s, and my opinion is that this is the biggest step forward in spreadsheet governance that Microsoft has ever made.
Unfortunately, it does nothing for the biggest problem spreadsheets have today--errors. At my website, panko.shidler.hawaii.edu, there is a great deal of research by myself and others showing that errors--including serious errors--are widespread in the large spreadsheets that users actually build. The problem is not that spreadsheets are more error-prone than programming languages for development. It is that they are not tested adequately. To my knowledge, Excel 2013 does not seem to have added the functionality necessary for developers to test their spreadsheets.
Posted: 27th August 2012 | By Jeff Morris :
Hi Philip,
We fundamentally agree that the new features of Excel 2013 help advance the ability to manage the proliferation and improve the quality of spreadsheets across an organization.
What I'd like to make clear is the role BIRT Spreadsheet plays in this process. Specifically, that there is no "giving up Excel" in order to use BIRT Spreadsheet. BIRT Spreadsheet generates live XLS documents, delivered to every recipient, ready to be opened, enjoyed and analyzed. BIRT Spreadsheet is akin to being a spreadsheet blueprinting tool that eases and automates the governance process so that all users in the organization NEVER have to give up Excel.
BIRT Spreadsheet helps organizations operationalize their consumption of spreadsheets so that the construction of ad-hoc documents can focus on new problems, not repeating old ones, badly. The need for the features in Excel 2013 are to help improve the quality of the documents that an individual builds before it enters Sharepoint. It is essentially a trash filter.
BIRT Spreadsheet, by contrast, helps regulate the delivery of spreadsheet files to thousands of users through the use of a design blueprint that acts as a template containing rules for user permissions, data security, formatting, calculation, charting, pivot tables and even VB scripting so that every future instance of the spreadsheet will be consistently flawless, regardless of the sizes of the original sets of data that drive it. And they can be used with or without Sharepoint. In all cases, users still get Excel, and all these products help improve the quality of Excel-based insight communication.

I have contacted Microsoft about the various queries raised by this article. They have responded as follows:
"From what we can tell, it seems one user wasn't able to find the feature as it needs to be enabled from the COM Add-in in the options menu. The other commenter is likely talking about the gaps regarding features that are lighted up with the server component, Audit and Control Management server that requires SharePoint ECAL."
On a separate note I agree completely with Ray about the testing requirement for spreadsheets. Of course, the need for adequate testing isn't limited to spreadsheets as witness the recent events at Knight Capital and RBS/National Westminster.

This website contains tools for use in field linguistics and language description. Most of the items on the website are questionnaires designed to assist in eliciting data in such a fashion that the data will be comparable across languages. The idea behind this website is that field linguistics should be typologically informed and that the results of field work should be of typological interest. The questionnaires and other tools presented here help the field linguist understand what questions might be of typological (and theoretical) interest and guide the linguist in both eliciting data and extracting information from naturalistic texts. In addition, we would like to include "elicitation kits", allowing the researcher to present movie clips and similar language stimuli to native speaker consultants to see how they would describe the event shown. The number of elicitation kits available is still very limited, but we hope that more will be available in the future. We also include information on books and articles that provide down-to-earth guidance to the field linguist.
The emphasis in this website is on tools for language description, as opposed to tools for language documentation, suggestions for choice of hardware etc. Links to websites that provide information on topics beyond the purview of our website can be found under Other Sites. By a "typologically informed field linguistics" we mean field work guided by the goal of examining the range of possible variation in human language. This goal can be approached in a very concrete fashion that examines surface variation, or it can be approached from the perspective of a highly abstract model in which surface variation is of less interest than variation in abstract patterns or distributions. Our intent is to be resolutely agnostic about such questions, and to include "tools" designed for both purposes. We see questionnaires, elicitation kits etc. as a way for experts in a particular area of interest to pass on their practical knowledge to field workers whose training or primary interest may be in some other area of linguistics. We also see the website as a useful tool for classes in linguistic field methods. The materials on our website can help guide the students toward a productive use of their time with native speaker consultants.
The site is edited by
Cole (MPI EVA and the University of Delaware) and Jeff Good (SUNY Buffalo), and the webpage coordinator is Claudia Bavero (MPI EVA). We would like to expand the range of the website. Please send suggestions for additions to this site to either of the editors. Problems with the website should be sent to the site manager cschmidt 'at' eva.mpg.de. Please note that the tools listed on the website remain the property and responsibility of their authors. This is true regardless of whether the tool in question is accessed by a link to an external website or whether it is stored on the server for this website.
