Topic: RED WORKFLOW (Read 12746 times)

I don't know if you'd fancy that but, why not a thread exclusively on the Red workflow?
I think it could be good for practical reasons so we always know where to look for when Red is concerned.
Ps1: Even for people like me who do not own (yet) a Red camera, I have to deal with Red workflow in post, and Red is the future.
Ps2: True that we can look into RedUsers but I'm convinced that as it's growing fast, a special thread in Lu-La is not a bad thing either.
We could give it a try.

Sounds very good to me....
I have been playing with REDCINE-X Pro today. Output to PP 5.5 for final grading. 4K 16x9 to 1920x1080 H264. Red Color 2 RedLogFilm Out of RCX Pro.
The following are very rough at present. Both R1 - first with 501 head...very poorly setup....second on Sachler.
Nikon 14-24 G lens no aperature control on this mount so it is at F22...diffraction at its best.
Pentax 67 105 wide open.
Both password protected : r1
I find the RCX Pro very fast intuitive and while I do not understand all of it yet it seems very workable.
Thoughts and suggestions welcomed.

Downloaded the 64bits yesterday before seeing that post. First impression is very positive except 1 crash when a pop-up windows asked me if I wanted automatized updates strangely quite some time after the first run. After that, all fine.
Definately more agile than the prev. Find the help somewhere complicated.
It's a beta version anyway so no complains.

I've been trying to work in image sequences workflow from R3D 3 minutes footage.
I've been using Photoshop and Nuke.
PS with a relatively simple script is way too long to render each frame. The interesting thing I discovered is that having PS rendering on backstage, didn't affect if I was doing a work on an NLE during and vice-versa. In other words, PS didn't render faster if you had no other software runnin during the process and it does not slowdown either the work on any NLE when it renders the scripts.
Nuke in that aspect is another planet and indeed that's the path to go with image sequences even for color correct and even if it's not its essence (Nuke or AE or Flame etc...). Jesus! you ingest any kind of image sequence in it with no res limitation and it just plays it like butter. Color correct, import LUT or whatever and the export is fast. Absolutly no comparaison with PS.
I find the workflow in IS very very good, the only downside being the HD space but HD are cheaper than ever.
Also...for the Avid's potential users, something that really pisses me off in Avid is the 2ish gb limit on sequence export with codec (yes you read well and Avid has all sort of "good" arguments on that aspect). But on images sequences there are no limits.
There is a huge difference in how you can play with colors and push to limits in Tiff compared to any video format I've been trying so far. It's not subtle, it's huge! (nothing compared to raw of course but closer)
Also, R3D converted to DNxHD 10bits is worsed (it's visible) than R3D converted to Canopus Lossless. The convertion in Avid is way too long so it's much wiser working with AMA. But Grass Valley is doing frankly a better job in converted workflow (Edius doesn't read native R3D so you have to convert anyway but to my eyes the Canopus codec works frankly better than the Avid's but it's not a scientific proof but a personal perception)
Don't know if some of you guys have already worked RED footage in image sequence but it seems to me that it's really the best quality and simply hassle free. (codec free if you wish)
I don't see why we should be kept on bondage with the fairy tale of transcoding-the-codecs (and the gamma fun cherry on the cake) when the HD space is available now for everyone.
In image sequence workflow, all the NLEs are ok but Avid's the worst. Premiere and Edius are very good indeed.
Quite frankly, why RED doesn't provide soon a RCX a little more featured in the editing aspect and no need anything else than that. A sort of reduced Smoke for RED. It's nearly there. Frustrating !

This one is for you....
In REDCINE-X Pro if I throw a number of clips onto the timeline and then Paste a Grade onto one of those...is it possible to Paste a Grade onto multiple clips but
maintain integrity for each clip...in other words seems like when I later select the third clip in a row (all of them Pasted) and change something it spills over to the
My hope is that there is a way to apply RC2 and RLF with a preliminary grade to all the clips but adjust exposure curves and gamma individually without changing the grades of the others on the timeline. It is so slow to individually grade each clip and export it only to then coalesce all of them in Adobe PP.

Another thought.
Since the RED is essentially the equivalent of still medium format platforms for motion cameras take a step back and look at the past with Hasselblad, Leaf and Phase.
Phase produced a software suite that would accept their cameras raw files along with most major dslr files.
Hasselblad somewhat has added that function, Leaf never did though now can run through Phase's C-1.
How important is this?
Well, even though we use Red Cine X and the Red rocket to produce one light dailies, it is the first line of showing a client close to what their going to get in the final.
Cine X is also fast (with the Rocket) and fairly easy software to learn, though it still has a few bugs, I assume it will become more full featured as time goes on.
Now if we could add other maker's pre cooked h264 files into Cine-x it would go along way to match the initial grading of the one lights.
Even with two RED's we have never shot a project that didn't have some smaller camera footage, either a Canon or the Sony fs100.
Having the ability to stay in one software suite and closer match the RED raw to the other footage is a huge time saver and just like with C-1, I'd be more than happy to pay for that added function.
Just a thought but from someone that shoots a lot of footage I know it would save us a lot of time and relearning if you added this.
It would also open up cine-x as a profit center and get new potential customers up to speed on your software so when they do upgrade to a RED camera, they'll be ready.

My thoughts exactly.
I was thinking about that those days.
In fact I pretty much like RCX, although it is still a kind of "free facility" but the enveloppe is good and it's not far and a bit frustrating in its current limitations.
Also, (for Graeme), think that not only the Red owners are interested in a RCX like Cooter describes; people like me who don't own (yet and triple yet) a Red camera but yes might have to edit with Red raw material, mixed with other formats etc...
I'd be ready to pay money for a more advance RCX that would allow to by-pass manipulations and also a more advanced editing timeline would be very welcome.
As an example, if I import via AMA R3D and grade in Avid MC, I can grade RAW
(and that's where the irony is), I can not output my corrections back into RCX, even through XML. This has been discussed with Chris Sanderson before here. The idea is not going nowhere except staying in RCX.

Someone asked about this on RedUser. Jannard's response was along the lines of... if you want a great software to work with video from other camera manufacturers, ask those manufacturers to write it. RedCine-X and now RCX Pro are free. I don't think JJ cares about "profit centers" and has no desire to deal with the headache of integrating other manufacturers codecs into the RCX code. So... I kinda doubt this will ever happen.
Storm would have been a great solution for this as they were going to do exactly what you asked for, but The Foundry announced they were gonna EOL that software right after RCX Pro was released.

Yeah, too bad. The Foundry is a great company and their softwares are top. On their official communication they also warned us to keep an eyes on secret newcoming product based on Storm. It was
Well, to be watched with great interest. That is something that I will follow step by step because coupled with Nuke it's going to be very powerfull and on the line of the new workflow generation.

Storm made no sense to me as it was just another learning curve to do mostly what Cine-X did.
Had Storm taken other forms of footage and the ability to analyze a scene and give a basic match to something like a RED and a 5d2 then it would make sense, but it didn't, so I see the reason they killed it.
I'm not going to give Mr. Jannard any business tips because he owns his own island, his own camera company and I don't, though I don't necessarily agree with all his decisions.
I know in my business I've found the more solutions I can offer a client, in the most effecient way, the more it is appreciated.
Then again I don't spend much time (if any) on the RED forums because it's a lot of fanboy and rah rah and a lot of the good information gets buried so finding it takes time.
There are other software suites that will essentially work all formats, we've even added Di-Vinici, but it's another learning curve and another expense and with this added move to motion another learning curve and another expense really isn't something to look forward to.
I much rather put our resources to new content rather than learning why there are primary and secondary color corrections.
I'm not an equipment junkie, I'm brand agnostic, but I am intent on using what works best for what we're producing. I only use the RED's because I think they make the prettiest footage. Period. I use the Canons and Sony's because they do some things the RED's just can't do, like fast setup, semi to full autofocus and ease of mounting and transport.
Given that, it just shouldn't be that complicated to color and do some basic effects on footage.
I think we're in the early stages of digital cinema/motion/video/interactive/mobile/whatever comes next and like the transition in stills from film to digital it takes a while for workflow's to become standard and it all depends on the project, the budget, (I guess it's always the budget.)
RED is in the old film workflow (the digital equivalent) of One light dailies, then three light for intermediate, then editing, then color grading, effecting, more editing and output, with all of those functions coming in separate steps and workstations.
Maybe that's where I see the potential of FCP X. When I use it, I get the idea that as apps are added, it can be a one stop software suite when everything is done in place.
The only thing that concerns me about FCP X is how quickly the professional market adopts it. If like most editors I know just diss it without diving deep and learning what it is . . . what it will be, I'm afraid apple will lose interest in developing it further.
On the other hand, if apple and third party developers quickly go all out to build affordable plug ins, or apps, then the thought of 7, or even three software suites to get to final may be a thing of the past.

I don't think Apple will loose interest in developping FCPx. On the contrary.
I beleive (or I hope so) that major software players are aware that the classic workflow has to die and fast all-in-one solutions is the path.
The thing is that look at our profession itself. I think nobody can deny that we have to do more, in less time and with less costs.
This reality in a traditional workflow is not bearable. Something has to change to make it profitable if not, what will happen is that all an industry will be amateurized except a few niches.
It's almost impossible to cover the current needs with the "old way" and growing economically. The equation simply doesn't work any more.
I'm swiming (sometimes painfully) in Avid's waters and I can recognised how powerfull it is or whatever, but...20, 30 years old experienced men are currently cuying in the unemployment offices. Highly skilled editors, colorists are on the street and they break prices because they need to eat. It's like suddenly a nuclear engineer is ready to work as an electricist so the electricists have no chance to get a job because there are overkill people ready to do the same job for the same money.
Time is over where somebody learned during long years expensive and complicated softwares and get a job well paid with good conditions because of that knowledge-skills. Now the conditions are doing more, in 10 time less and paied also 1/10...if not, Avid TV guys unemployed are going to do it anyway. Craftmen style is over.
Nobody is preapared to learn Avid or Smoke during a year or so and in the end get a badly paid job and some deadlines Avid or any "old fashioned" software hardly can cover. I'm actually stopping my learning on "heavy" softwares and wait and watch with interest the evolution. The old way leads nowhere and certainly not getting paid and get a good job or build a competitive studio. There is no middle term anymore. Or you're on the very top or you have to be different.
To make that bearable and profitable, we have to gain something on softwares. If we have more volume and less time but softwares that allow us to do the job 10 time faster with no hassles, then that's another story and we can work and make money. The old way is not possible anymore for much more time.
I beleive that the future is in FCPx kind of softwares but in a more mature version. I'm sure the new generation is not preapared to deal with the old way hassles. Are you going to tell a young guy "look, you'll be learning high-end softwares during long years, you'll need fairly good skills in maths and art and when you'll be ready we'll put you with 10 people in a 20m2 room and your salary will be 1000 bucks a month for 9 hours declared 4 because it's too expensive"...if the person is minimaly healphy his only answer will be: "F...K you!". My house keeper earn more than that without studdies.
I'm in between both generation and already the simple fact to read a user's manual is putting me on nerves and that's not the way to do but pro training within the industry. On your own with Pablo, Smoke or Avid you go crazy, it's like learning to fly with a flight simulator. You want to take-off one day and you crash...surprise. Avid, being the most "classical+heavy+powerfull+anti-intuitive" NLE (even being the most featured) is driving me nuts because it's designed for another time that doesn't exists anymore except for the very big structures like the BBC etc...(and they fire people every week), and not for a long time anymore because ads are going elsewhere.
I'm absolutly tired of going from a software to another, export. reimport, make sure that was ok and if not it's a lot of time involved. Yet another software and another learning curve and all that just for grading? for keying? for breathing?...this is not serious indeed. This workflow is thought for big structures with many high skilled people involved, well paied, trade-unioned etc...I'm afraid people who don't want to see that this is disappearing are going to have a hard awakening.
We need speed, power, low-cost and intuitive softwares
in an all-in-one solution. Small crew.
This is pirat world, not wonderland, not the 60's... and to survive and grow on that mess we have to be very fast, adaptable, creatives, and we need pirat tools. Not tools created to destroy an all fleet with heavy cruise battle ships that hardly can manouver and requires 10000 people just to bloody switch-on the engines. (sorry for the military analogy). The current workflow is absurd!

Totally agree, guys. That's what I see in FCPX and why I'm keeping at it. Each week I hear of another experienced FCP user putting it on his system, learning it at leisure while earning his keep on FCP.
Like i said (moaned) earlier, it's just bloody hard work learning two or three new incredibly complex programs. I can edit, grade and export just fine from FCPX, so why should I go to the expense/effort of Resolve, et al? Ok, I have bought Motion (bought? seems almost free considering what it can do) and sometimes a clip will make the round trip from FCPX to M for f/x then back to the X timeline, but not often. And I might just "splash out" on Compressor for some easy extra output options but that'll be it.
When the missing bits are bolted on to FCPX, and when a few plug-ins are available, it will be all most people need. IMHO. Don't think this was OT but sorry if it was...

Adobe just released Premier 5.5.1. Roundtripping to Resolve is now ON via the FCP XTML edl's. The raw footage gets dropped into Premier, sliced and diced, transitions, titles, multiple tracks. Imports flawlessly into Resolve for fast, powerful grades that include power windows with tracking, noise reduction, repositions and image stabilization. Exports back out to Premier rendering at full res or anywhere below and finish there with effects and audio intact.
My workflow is finally locked down. No transcodes, no rendering in the timeline, Full Rez realtime playback and editing on the 12 core. It doesn't even matter if you have to work with FCP editors now, with the XTML export.
Adobe totally just made my day.

Let me see if I got it.
- You shoot RED 4k and you create a 4K project in Adobe and import the R3D natively and edit directly.
(what about the case you have to mix footage and work in a 2K project? do you have to use then RCXpro? or Adobe does the job according to the res like Avid does)
- then what I don't get is why do you need the FCP edl's from Adobe? Do you need actually to have FCP open, export from Adobe an EDL that you have to import in FCP and from here to Resolve?
(because that was the old way editors where doing, they had to enter FCP from Adobe to then from FCP enter in Resolve...true, without rendering anything).
I can't picture what is the gain on that workflow.

Americas session - Wed Feb 5th, 10:00am PT | 1:00pm ET
Application integration remains a key challenge for all sizes of organizations, but the old models for it are wearing thin. Rather than doing integration with a mindset of "make it easier to live with all our application silos", the future lies in doing integration with a mindset of "recovering coherent business operations and data despite the silos." In this webinar, Randy Heffner of Forrester Research, will describe the shift to business-centered integration – "digital business design" as Forrester calls it – highlighting multiple successful case studies as well as the foundational role of data virtualization in a digital business design approach. Randy will be joined by Anthony Kopec of AAA (Northern California, Nevada, and Utah) to discuss how he has taken digital business design approach using the Denodo Data Virtualization Platform.

Graduation Main Menu
Graduation Frequently Asked Questions
Before Graduation
How do I apply for graduation?
You can pick up a graduation application from the Registrar's Office in Victor Hall. You will need to complete the form with your academic advisor. Once the form is complete, you will need to take the completed application to the Bursar's Office to make payment. Master and Doctoral candidates must also submit a signed program of study with their graduation application. The graduation fee is $63 and is required at the time your application is submitted.
What is the deadline to turn in my graduation application?
Undergraduate students should submit their graduation application two semesters before their anticipated graduate term. Graduate student deadlines are February 15th for Spring graduation, June 15th for Summer graduation and September 15th for Fall graduation.
I applied for graduation. What's Next?
Undergraduate students will receive a letter from the Registrar's Office after applying for graduation. This letter is verification that the Registrar's Office has reviewed your application and will notify you of any deficiencies you may have including GPA requirements, hours required, exit exams, and courses you are missing. All graduating students should follow the course schedule listed on the graduation application as planned by your advisor. Any additional requirements we notify you about should also be completed. If you deviate from the courses stated on your application, we contact your department head prior to contacting you. If you deviate from the courses listed on your application for graduation, please have your advisor notify the Office of the Registrar so adjustments can be made to your application. Failure to provide schedule changes could result in your failure to graduate. Check your Armstrong student email for important emails from the Office of the Registrar.
What does the graduation fee cover?
It covers the cost of your cap and gown, tassel, diploma, diploma cover, and graduation programs. This fee is required even if you choose not to attend the graduation ceremony.
How do I order my cap and gown?
Herff Jones is Armstrong's suppliers for cap and gowns. You may order your cap and gown during their visits to Armstrong's bookstore or you can order online at http://www1.herffjones.com/college/graduation/index.cfm.
I will not be able to attend graduation. What do I need to do?
Candidates for degrees are expected to attend the commencement ceremony. If you cannot attend, please email email@example.com and request to graduate in absentia. Your email should include your name, student identification number, and any special delivery instructions for your diploma. You may also complete the commencement attendance form to verify your attendance at the ceremony.
Will I need to attend the Graduation Fair prior to the graduation ceremony?
The Graduation Fair is designed to assist graduating students in receiving details and information about Graduation Day. Representatives will be available to answer questions graduates may have about graduation from Armstrong. Your name card, cap and gown will be available at this event. If you are unable to attend, you may pick up your name card and an informational sheet from the Office of the Registrar in Victor Hall room 136. You may pick up your cap and gown from Armstrong's bookstore.
If I plan to complete my degree requirements during the summer semester, which commencement ceremony should I attend? Spring or Fall?
You must attend the Fall commencement ceremony if you plan to complete your degree requirements during the summer semester.
What is the minimum GPA that is required to graduate?
A 2.00 GPA is the required minimum for undergraduate students and a 3.00 GPA is the required minimum GPA for graduate students. You must meet the minimum GPA on both overall and institutional GPAs. Your institutional GPA is based on the course work you complete at Armstrong only. The overall GPA is calculated on your Armstrong work, plus any course work completed at other universities. Some degree programs have higher GPA requirements. Please consult the catalog for complete details for the program requirements on the degree you are seeking.
What are the GPA requirements to receive honors?
There is no honor designation at Armstrong for graduate students. Honors for undergraduate students are awarded on overall GPA. The minimum overall GPA required to receive honors is 3.20. This qualifies you for Cum Laude. To receive Magna Cum Laude you must earn at least a 3.5 GPA. To receive Summa Cum Laude you must earn at least a 3.8 GPA. Requirements for honors are explained in detail in the current catalog.
Honors at graduation are based on your previous terms of attendance prior to your final semestser. Once all grades are in, we will review your record for honors again. This means that what is announced at the ceremony and what you earn may be different. It may even mean that you will not earn honors even though honors are announced at graduation. Since grades for your final semester are not submitted until after the graduation ceremony, we cannot calculate your GPA early to see if you qualify. If you finish your requirements the term prior to graduation, we will base your standing on your final overall GPA.
Academic honors will not be awarded to second-degree recipients unless the student specifically requests an "award evaluation" in writing from the Registrar's Office. This is in accordance with the Armstrong catalog.
Students that received Academic Renewal must request an honors evaluation. The honors evaluation means that we will include ALL work from your academic record, including courses eliminated from your GPA under Academic Renewal process.
I have repeated some courses. Which one of the grades count?
Policy before Fall 2012
When a course is repeated, only the last grade earned counts in earned hours requirements, grade point average hours and overall grade point average. All course work taken remains on the students' academic records. Students may repeat any course. However, the grade earned in the last attempt will determine the number of quality points assigned for calculation of grade point average.
Policy effective Fall 2012 and after
Students may repeat any course. However, when a course is repeated, all grades earned for each attempt count in earned hours requirements, grade point average hours and overall grade point average. All course work taken remains on the students' academic records.
My advisor says I need an exit exam. What is that and why do I have to take it?
Students in undergraduate degree programs must take an exit exam in order to graduate. The university has the Measure of Proficiency and Progress (MAPP) (University Exit Exam). The MAPP is not a pass/fail test, but the results are recorded on your transcript. You can contact the Testing Services department for more information about the MAPP exam or to schedule a test date.
All undergraduate students are required to take the MAPP, except those that have already completed a Bachelor's degree or higher. If you were notified that you are required to take the MAPP and you feel that is incorrect, please contact the assistant registrar.
In addition to the MAPP, most majors have a departmental exit exam as well. You must satisfy these requirements to graduate. Contact your department for the required exit exam for your major.
I am taking courses at another institution. When are these grades due?
Grades for courses taken at another institution are due when all Armstrong State University grades are due. You must identify yourself to the professor and the registrar's office of the school you are attending to make arrangements to get the grades to Armstrong in a timely manner. This is your responsibility. Failure to do so could prevent you from graduating. We will accept original letters and faxes from the institution's registrar's office. The letters/faxes must include any information that would appear on a transcript: name, social, course, grade, etc. Our fax number is 912.344.3410. Please note this is just sufficient to have your degree posted. We will not release your transcript until the original transcript is provided by the school you attended.
Graduation Day
What time do I need to arrive at the graduation ceremony?
Please plan to arrive at least one hour before the processional begins to walk. See ceremony instructions for additional information.
How many people can I invite to my graduation?
Currently, there are no restrictions placed on the number of guests a student may invite to commencement.
What are honor cords or stoles? How do I get one?
Some organizations such as honor societies, Greek-letter organizations, and Honors programs may present Recognition Cords or Stoles to wear at the ceremony. Students must be a member of these organizations in order to receive cords or stoles.
Where can my guests and I park? Do I have to pay for parking?
Please visit the location, directions and parking page to learn more about parking during graduation. Parking will be free and available on the day of commencement.
What adornments am I permitted to wear in addition to my cap and gown during the commencement ceremony?
There are no restrictions for wearing cords, stoles, or medallions. Approval is not needed for additional adornments.
Will there be accommodated seating at graduation for guests or family members who are disabled?
Please visit the disability access page to learn more about seating accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
After Graduation
When will I receive my diploma?
Diplomas are ordered after the commencement ceremonies in fall and spring and are mailed to students approximately 4 - 6 weeks after commencement and grades have posted. For Summer graduates, diplomas are ordered after the degree award date (last day of exams) and are mailed to students approximately 4- 6 weeks after that date.
When will my degree be posted on my transcript?
We try to have your degree posted on your transcript by the end of the month in which you graduate. If you have a special situation that requires you have your degree on your transcript sooner, please let us know. We will work with you on an individual basis.
I am not going to finish my requirements on schedule and need to delay my graduation. What do I need to do?
You need to inform the Office of the Registrar in writing as soon as possible. We can move your application to the next graduation easily. It saves time, effort, and expense if you inform us right away.

"What does soft water mean?"
Once water falls down as rain or snow, it starts to collect impurities. Some are natural, like iron, minerals and animal waste. Some are man-made, such as chemicals, herbicides and pesticides.
A water softener system treats your water at the point it enters the home. It removes the impurities before the water travels through your pipes and into your water-using appliances, and before your draw water from the taps of your bathrooms and kitchen. In other words, it removes the impurities before the water is used or consumed.
EcoWater's whole home filtration systems offers you a water softener system and reverse osmosis drinking water system, creating the healthiest water for all uses.
"Why does soft water make my skin feel slippery?"
Because an EcoWater water softener system removes the impurities in your water, your skin is rinsed without hard water minerals left behind. There is no residue on your skin to trap traces of soap, dead skin cells and other particles. And no residue left behind that dries your skin. The slippery, softness you feel is exactly how clean skin is supposed to feel.
The same way that soft water eliminates water spots that dry onto your glassware and silverware, it allows your bath soaps to lather better and rinse off completely.
"I live in the city. Since they treat the water, does that mean my water is already soft?"
Most municipalities treat water by using chlorine to kill bacteria. Some might even soften the water, but only to meet minimum requirements. That doesn't mean it is ideal for your family.
An EcoWater Systems water refiner softens your family's water by removing the hardness minerals and sediments that weren't removed by the municipality, and it also removes the chlorine taste and odor.
"How can I treat my well water?"
Your authorized EcoWater dealer can evaluate your water and recommend a water softener system or whole home filtration systems customized to treat your home's water. The benefits include:
"How does a water softener operate?"
"How do I determine the right softener for my home?"
The right product for your home is determined by testing your water, considering how many people are living in your home, understanding your normal water usage, taking into account the number of bathrooms you have, understanding the water-using appliances in your home, etc. Authorized EcoWater Dealers are water treatment professionals trained to understand your family's needs and determine the right product for your home.
"The city treats my water so it's safe to drink. What more do I need?"
The quality of your home's water may meet local standards, but it might not meet your own. Reverse osmosis drinking water purification systems are usually used in the kitchen, where you are most apt to get your drinking water, and where you prepare all of your food and beverages. You need the healthiest and best tasting water available.
Also, the methods used to treat municipal water – including chlorine – could be impacting the smell and taste of your mixed beverages and your cooking. A drinking water system provides bottled water quality, without the bottled water price paid at the store and at the recycling center.
"I'm worried about bacteria in my drinking water. How can I be sure it's removed?"
EcoWater offers a microbiological drinking water purification system that is certified to reduce 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses and 99.95% cysts, such as giardia and cryptosporidia.
"My water tastes fine. Why would I need a drinking water system?"
Ordinary tap water can contain dissolved metals, such as iron or lead. It might contain chlorine, nitrates and mineral salts. Or it could have sulfates, mercury, asbestos or arsenic in it. A reverse osmosis water treatment system from EcoWater reduces more than 95% of dissolved solids, including many harmful contaminants.
"How often do the filters have to be changed?"
Your authorized EcoWater dealer can talk to you about how often the filters need to be changed, based on your home's water and your water use. Talk to your dealer about service program options that might include routine filter replacements.
"My softener isn't using much salt."
An EcoWater softener or refiner is very efficient, so you might not go through as much salt as another brand used. If you feel like your water isn't soft, and the level of salt is not decreasing at all, consult your EcoWater dealer.
"I filled the salt, but the light is still blinking and the screen still says to add salt."
After filling the salt, you must set the salt level on the display screen. Note the level number along the inside wall of the salt tank. Then follow the menu instructions on your softener display screen to set the salt level number.
"Why is there water in my salt tank?"
It is normal to have water in the bottom of your salt tank. If there is more than five inches, or if you suspect a leak, contact your EcoWater dealer, who will assess the situation.
"My water feels too soft. Can I adjust it?"
No. Soft water is soft water. You cannot adjust the level of impurities being removed from the water.
"The water from my RO has a taste to it."
Ask your EcoWater dealer about what you are experiencing. You could be due for a filter change. Or maybe something has changed with your water, and it will be better served by a different type of filter cartridge in your drinking water system. A conversation with your dealer is your safest bet in finding a solution.
"My remote display shows question marks instead of numbers."
Make sure the water softener (or refiner) is receiving power. Assuming the softener is getting power, it might be the strength of the signal to the remote. Try moving the remote to different locations in your home. If you continue to have problems, contact your dealer.

One of the signal pleasures of a nostalgic soap opera like AMC's Mad Men-—or, more recently, ABC's Pan Am—is the consistent appeal of discovering that our predecessors' morality is roundly inferior to our own. We watch as Betty lights a cigarette at the dinner table, as Roger offhandedly waxes patrician, as a boor pats a woman's bottom, and get a little thrill from both the transgression and our own superiority to it.
Steven Pinker's scientized history The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined (Viking, $40) is a self-congratulatory opus of much greater dimension. Pinker amasses an impressive array of facts and graphs showing that worldwide per capita violence has indeed declined precipitously since Europe's enlightened 1700s, that racism has waned, spankings been spanked and major wars made less frequent. Against the notion that humanity has degenerated from nobly peaceful hunter-gatherers to mechanized killers, he employs relentless statistical proof. We really don't off each other like we used to. Even the gruesomely bloody 20th century—with its 70 million dead in two world wars—is, when those mind-boggling numbers are considered relative to the world's expanding population, less violent on average than the preceding centuries.
When Pinker moves toward explaining why this shift away from violence has happened, however, he mostly leaves science at the doorstep. Much of the book is taken up, in chatty tones, explaining just how awful we all used to be, and how awful we all aren't now. In the past, we are told, inquisitors stretched alleged crypto-heathens on racks, Genghis' officers cut off ears as trophies of kills, goats of all kinds were mercilessly scaped, men were culled and women raped as spoils of war, etc.
The slow de-moding of such practices is, for Pinker, part of something he terms the "civilizing process," which he seems to see as history's inevitable forward path. As society has adopted Enlightenment ideals and notions of the sanctity of the individual, and as states have supplanted the old vengeful codes of honor with impersonal justice, we have grown peaceful and prosperous.
This model holds up beautifully well when only Europe is considered, but elsewhere Pinker's optimism seems hapless and hopelessly selective in its descriptions. America's idiosyncratically violent nature is left to be mostly a mystery, while present-day Haitian necklacings, Salvadoran guerrilla massacres and coked-up African child soldiers—essentially the byproducts of U.S./European prosperity—go largely unmentioned. Pinker blames the violent spike of the 1960s on the "de-civilizing" influences of a dangerous counterculture, calls American blacks violent and "stateless," and attributes our current drop in violent crime largely to the positive effects of mass incarceration.
said, Pinker's heartening narrative of progress toward a more blameless
present and an even better future is a story I do hope is true.
However, I am left to suspect that as much violence is likely to result
from our pacific Enlightenment as has ever been tamped down by it, and
that the future has an unsettling habit of slipping any noose we prepare
for it.

Recipe by funinthesun
"This is a easy way to make Korean BBQ. You can also substitute chicken breast or sliced rib-eye for the short ribs. If you use chicken or rib-eye, you must add thinly sliced green onion tops. This can also be broiled in the oven for the same amount of time."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3/4 cup

3/4 cup
3 tablespoons
white vinegar
1/4 cup
dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1 tablespoon

2 tablespoons
sesame oil
1/4 cup
minced garlic
1/2 large
onion, minced
3 pounds
Korean-style short ribs (beef chuck flanken, cut 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick across bones)
Hi folks I just wanted to add some information I thought might be helpful. I'm Korean & galbi is always a favorite!
The crockpot method everyone is mentioning is actually a legit Korean Dish called Galbi Chim (Braised Shortribs) Make sure and skim off the fat when it's done.. there will be a lot! I like to use shortribs that are a few inchs across. Makes for a nice meaty piece. Additions of carrot, chestnut, boiler onion and potato is delish! Eat w/some steamed rice as the flavors will be pretty concentrated to eat alone.
Tip from my mom: remember to rinse off the ribs well before marinading. Give the bones a good rub with your hands under some running water or you will bite in and get bone bits. Ouch! We like to just leave them in a colander to drain a bit. Also the addition of 1/2 a grated kiwi or some pineapple will really make the meat tender if you intend to grill it. Just make sure not to leave it in the marinade for more than a day. I got carried away once and my meat fell apart as I was trying to put it on the grill!
I've had some real Korean Kalbi and this was not nearly as good as the kind in the restaurant, but my family enjoyed it nonetheless. I might try to add some other spices, such as ginger, green onion and sesame seeds to see if it resembles the real Korean taste.
201 Ratings
Having spent considerable time in various eateries throughout South Korea, salivating over Gal-Bi, and missing it, I was brought back with this recipe. Thank you. I sent some with my spouse, to serve to an elderly Korean girl friend of hers. It definitely passed the test. She loved it. She offered a suggestion...Pepsi. She told me to add Pepsi! I added about a quarter can to the recipe and it rocks! Either way it's a great, great Korean taste to die for.
One of my new favorites, and always a huge hit at barbecues (cut into one bone per piece and served as finger food) or dinner parties (served over rice). I've always made it exactly as suggested, and typically marinate it over night.
A lot of people have been slow cooking this, and that's good too, but I definitely think it's best grilled. I recommend using hardwood charcoal, which burns hotter, and cooking for 3-4 minutes per side.
This cut of meat is sometimes hard to find, and even when you can, the selection can be very inconsistent -- too thick or too fatty. If it's too thick, it helps to pound it out into thinner slices.
Slow cooked in crock pot - fabulous!!!
Can't see how you can go wrong with this recipe. I put everything together in the crock pot and cooked it on low all day. I used pork baby back ribs, (I boiled them first), but this would work with chicken, beef, old socks, you name it. So good.
This is a five star recipe! My husband and kids all loved it. I changed the recipe a little, I used hot sesame oil, left out the sugars and instead used a couple of squirts of honey and it turned out perfect! Next time I'll try adding chopped green onions. Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe!
I followed this recipe with the exception of the white sugar-I just used slightly less then a 1/4 cup of brown sugar and I added a few teaspoons of chili oil (we prefer more spicy to sweet). I let it marinate overnight and then threw it in the crock pot for 4 hours-it was SO yummy! Meat just fell off the bone! Next time I would probably serve with some form of potato vs. rice as the sauce is pretty greasy for pouring over rice. Enjoy!

Conversation and Dining Out
Keep the Conversation Going
Searching for something to say? People tend to get nervous when they have to talk to someone they don't know very well. But here's a secret: The person you're talking to doesn't know you well, either, so you're probably both feeling nervous. How do you handle the situation? Easy. Start off with a basic question, like, "What do you do for a living?" If you then really listen to the person's answer, you'll easily find an opening for a follow-up question.
"What do you do for a living?"
"I just graduated college. I've been applying for jobs in marketing."
"Is that what you studied?" (There's the follow-up question. So easy.)
"No, I was a studio art major, actually. But I want to put my art skills to work at an advertising agency or something like that."
"Really? I have a friend who's working with JMP. Did you try applying there?"
"Yeah, I did, but they aren't hiring right now. So what do you do for work?"
Once you start talking to someone, all you really have to do is listen. By doing this, you're actually telling this person a lot of positive things about yourself. For one thing, you're letting them see that you're interested. And by learning more about the other person (usually the goal in the first place), you're demonstrating that you aren't completely self-absorbed. Finally, you're showing that you're confident enough to talk to people you don't know without losing an ounce of your poise, wit and charm.
Awkward Conversations
The Situation:
There will be times when you find you are the odd man out on an issue, and you may feel pressured to talk about stuff you don't want to. One of my friends reported that though he was happy at his new job, he was having a hard time fitting in because conversations at the office were often about other coworkers or company politics. He finally decided he simply wasn't going to look for any work friends among the people who gossiped. I thought that was a really smart move.
The principles of etiquette give you the tools to navigate any situation. If you aren't comfortable with the way a certain conversation is going, politely say to the other person, "I'm sorry, I'm just not comfortable with this conversation." Or, simply refuse to engage yourself in the conversation, and quietly leave.
Food is Important; People are More Important
Don't forget to have fun!
Engage your fellow diners, and enjoy the blissful community of dining in a warm, hospitable environment. When you do, the food and the manners will take care of themselves.

MACK-SFC: XBOX 360 League
We are looking for a quality SIM Miami Dolphins Owner for Madden 11.
The MACK-sfc is looking for good/sim owners to fill the open Miami Dolphin's spot in our great young league. The MACK-sfc (Madden Arm Chair Kings sim football club) is a league currently built of 16 owners who have played with each other over the past 5 years. The basis of the league is SIM/Fair play. We want for each owner to enjoy every game they play. We know that in a loss, it can be tougher to enjoy your time, but if you enjoy your team and play against fair owners, it will make it easier to take a loss.
The league is there for those who want to have a good time playing games that look similar to what you will see on an NFL Sunday. We look to find guys who want to play with their home teams, and not just the best teams available. The Lions and Chiefs were picked before the likes of the Saints/Patriots/Colts/Chargers. If your only goal is to win every game no matter what it takes, this league is not for you. While we want you to want to win, after all it is a competitive league, we do not want an owner doing whatever it takes to do so.
The MACK-sfc is a money league, however it is not for those only looking to make some extra cash. The money is there to help keep the integrity of the league, not to work against it. We have found over the years that with the money comes responsibility. Players will take more seriously the building of their teams, and the play from week to week. Every season 12/32 users will be in the money and 20 will not. That is just how it is. Over time, if you make it in this league you will start to forget about the money. If you concern yourself with the money, you will most likely not make it through the 2011 season of Madden.
Every Madden player knows that there are lapses in the games A.I., it should not be your goal to take advantage of those over and over until you win the game. If you want to do that, there are lobbies out there where you will fit in perfectly. We do not want guys running tosses/screens/slants etc. over and over. We are looking for guys who mix up their game play, and play calls. We are not asking for you to match your teams NFL play, but it should at least somewhat resemble it. No team should pass the ball 80% of the time, it just doesnt happen (same with run). Not every run should be the same play, not every pass to same WR, etc. If a player does not abide by the leagues rules/schedule they will not be asked back, and there will not be any refunds.
This league is full of guys with loads of experience in Madden leagues. This league, if done right by the teams owners will be a very enjoyable experience. The league has a forum that keeps improving day by day. There will be yearly awards voted on by the owners in the league. Players of the week will be announced throughout , a possible blog, and working on the possibility even of a radio show (had one in years past). The more the guys in the league help out, the better this league will be.
League Details:
Co-Commissioners: BLaBelle127, Animal Pharm
---32 USER teams and play 3/4 seasons (paid before season 1 starts)
---$25 dollars per season (if you make playoffs you will be in the money)
---There is a $10 deposit required to hold your team for Madden 11. Going into the NFL draft we have 16 deposits paid, which leaves us with half the league to fill. (via Paypal)
Games Schedule not set in stone, but will be close to 2 games per week.
More info available at Forum/site.
If interested please contact one of the following
Blabelle127, JHolsinger, or Animal Pharm on Xbox Live
You can contact Brandon or Michael the commissioners @ email@example.com

This EETimes Europe article looks at the VW video-based position system which determines the correct position of a projector as well as the observers relatively to the vehicle. From the article: "For the training of technical experts in the field of car service, Volkswagen increasingly employs augmented reality technologies. The digital projections enable the company to convey the complex technical inner life of the vehicles to the trainees much better than conventional methods.
The company employs a video-based position system which determines the correct position of a projector as well as the observers relatively to the vehicle. The computer-generated image is then projected precisely to the vehicle's surface; participants can see what's under the car's skin without specific data goggles.
"The system projects 3D design data on the surface of a car in a way that they are exactly in perspective even under different visual angles. For the viewer, who can buy website traffic, it creates a kind of 'virtual x-ray vision, enabling him to identify and regarding otherwise hidden components and structures within the car," explained Juergen Leohold, director of Volkswagen corporate research. In addition, it is possible to superimpose component descriptions or animations. The functionality of hybrid drives including the complex energy flow this way could be explicated in a depth not possible with conventional teaching aids, Leohold added.

How did the ice storm affect you?
I was very lucky and was only out from
6:20 AM Wed Feb 5 until 1:30 PM Friday Feb 7.
Used my 7000 watt generator to power me and 2 neighbors.
Loaned the spare 5000 watt one to another neighbor who was able to run his neighbor also.
Now that I have power, I'm loaning my 2 generators around to those who still don't have power.
They in turn asked if they could also loan them to others who are still out.
Hope I get them back but if not at least someone has power.
Funny thing is that I was more upset since I couldn't use the Dynasty 350.
Had to make do with the Oxy-fuel set-up to fix things for the neighbors.
Also got to use the propane weed burner to (slowly) thaw some frozen pipes.
Worked well with no leaks and I got free beer so there is always a silver lining.
Hope everyone is safe.

I'm way down in NM but it was still zero degrees when I got up yesterday. Our high for the day was fourteen and I thought that was bad. I'm nit a fan of the cold and get disgusted with the cold we get here, idk what I would do anywhere up north.
We got lucky and nothing froze, but my next door neighbor's water pipes froze but didn't not bust. A space heater in his well house for a few hours did the trick.
I sure do pity y'all up north!

Don't try this at home but..................I had to
Last year we had a power outage and I had already connected my
neighbor's 2 extension cords to the 2 existing 120 volt receptacles on my generator.
I needed to rig up something quickly as my sump pump was out and the basement water was rising. Had to connect to the 230 volt twist-lock receptacle.
Did this very scary set-up in 10 minutes for me only and got the pump running.
Immediately went to the hardware store and got the proper wire, connectors and box.
Here is generator during the ice storm with the corrections made.

I needed a small carry-on that wasn't a duffel. This is great. It gives me all the features of larger wheeled bags and I don't have to check it at the airport. Plus, it includes a toiletry kit. Talk about getting more for my money.

Deciding on an area when looking for apartments for sale is one of the most essential considerations outside of the apartment itself. Some people will certainly require their house to be within a certain range of their place of work or research.
Why buy an apartment rather of a new house?
People who have actually lived in their own house all of there lives can be naturally reluctant to make the decision to buy condos or rent apartments, particularly to the latter. When a person has constantly lived in a house, it frequently seems to be the only location worth living in, even when that individual is reaching an age where maintenance is ending up being challenging. There is absolutely nothing wrong with scaling down to a new house, however some feel there is no other method to go about it, considering that they have always lived in a residence.
Want to have an easy and pleasurable life at an incredible address, then purchase a condominium offered for sale.
Some of the list online sites are here:
Edmonton Condos For Sale – Edmonton homes for sale
Condos for Sale in Vancouver | Real Estate | Kijiji Classifieds
This is the most helpful and well put option for any person. Condos are constantly a treat for the owners as even during repossessions these homes have an appeal of their own. There are other elements too, that contribute to make them the apt selection for anyone. From the upkeep of the structure to security center, condos are basically as flawless as any property. Individuals who choose some quiet ought to select one condominium that is away from the crowded locality and offers the peaceful environment. A house is where the mind is at peace after a difficult day s work. This is why every person should inspect condominiums for sale that can assure full relaxation after a chaotic day.
The brokers then list and market the home, manage all of the logistical work that is related to offers and settlements and lastly collects sales commissions after the house is offered. Make sure to speak with a house inspector, lending expert and real estate lawyer if you would like your sale to go smoothly.

Recipe by julie
"These cookies are absolutely the best!! They really should be named disappearing cookies because they won't stay around long. Set your timer, these cookies are best when they are lightly browned."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
1 cup
light brown sugar
1 cup
white sugar
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
3 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
1 1/2 cups
rolled oats
2 cups
white chocolate chips
1 cup
chopped pecans
This recipe was one I have used over and over many times. In place of using the white chips, I have subtituted butterscotch chips instead. Of all the cookies I have made this one is requested the most often. May I also present a hint I have used while cooking these-oven temp. set to 350 degrees and cook cookies for 10 minutes. They are delicious...
While there is no question this is a delicious tasting cookie I can't help feel something is incorrect in the directions/ingredients. The dough, without pecans and only 3/4 C. ea of the sugars, was so dry and would not stick together I had to check to be sure I hadn't missed a wet ingredient somewhere. It was so tough I could not use tablespoons but had to roll the dough in my hands to create a round-ish shape. By the end of the second batch I ended up with 2/3 cup oats and chips leftover in the bowl with no dough to hold it together. I could make them again for the taste but I don't feel like trying to figure out what to adjust so I'll just forget this recipe. Thanks anyway.

I thought this recipe was just wonderful! I did add a few "creative" touches that my husband really enjoyed. I cut the white chocoloate chips in half (only 1 cup) and added 1 cup of Craisins (great color for the holidays). I also cut the nuts in half (1/2 cup of nuts) and added 1/2 cup of coconut. I drizzled the cookies with an orange glaze (just orange juice and confectioners sugar). They disappeared in 2 days!
WOW - what a cookie!
This cookie is now in high demand, it's so super-delicious!
I recommend using chopped white chocolate bars for a chunkier, more professional look.
OH MY GOODNESS! Honestly the best cookie I've ever had, and I've tried A LOT. I split the dough in half and did dried cranberry/white chocolate and the other half butterscotch/chocolate chip. Both were awesome, but the flavor of the butterscotch/chocolate was like an explosion of the best flavor I've ever tasted:)
These cookies are delicious and went very, very fast. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour and substituted 1/2 the butter for applesauce to make them a little healthier and they were still amazing.
I made this recipe tonight making some with cinnamon chips, some with M&M's, and some with white chocolate chips. I thought that this recipe sounded familiar, and the words "disappearing cookies" tipped me off. This is almost identical to the Quaker Oats Vanishing Oatmeal Cookie recipe. The main difference is this one has more white sugar, has baking powder, and the flour & oat amounts are reversed. If you don't grease the pan, the cookies won't spread. I think next time I will use the Quaker oat recipe instead. I like cookies with more oats, and one reviewer did comment that these were too sweet, and maybe the cinnamon will add to the flavor.
OUTSTANDING!!! Use real butter for proper texture and incredible taste. I toasted both the pecans and the oats, which made the flavor pop. Line a cookie sheet with foil, shiny side DOWN. Put the pecans in a single layer. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 5 minutes. Turn the pecans over with pancake turner and bake for another 5 minutes, or until they become fragrant. Do the same for the oats, spreading them out as thinly as possible on the cookie sheet. I then chopped the pecans and oats by pulsing them together in the food processor. Toasting results in a fabulous, toffee-like flavor. Makes these extraordinary. You can toast a pound of pecans on a single 11"X17" cookie sheet, then freeze after cooling so they're ready whenever you want to bake these cookies. Ditto for the oats. Bag them in 1-1/2 cup portions in a zip-lock sandwich baggie for convenience. No need to even thaw them before incorporating them in the dough. Everyone loves these. They will make your reputation as a baker. Thank you!

Shortly after I wrote the entry below about the Dog Party at Dog Mountain, I ran across this quote which I've seen before but had not remembered for a long time. As a dog owner, it's one of my favorites:
"We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us." - Maurice Maeterlinck
Maeterlinck was a Belgian poet, playright, and Nobel Prize winner who lived 1862 to 1949.

Title: bread for success - part 2
Date: March 2, 2007
Summary: Beaver and Steve encounter a scarecrow without a brain.
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Toaster Creature, Scarecrow
Onomatopoeias used: "POP", "CHOMF!"
Number of panels: 8
Panel 1
A Toaster Bee flies nearby Beaver, who watches it.
Beaver: "Well who could have guessed - our toaster has been a portal to another dimension all along! Just think of the new worlds we can explore, the scientific discoveries we can make, the benefits to mankind we..."
Steve spots the Toaster Creature further along the trail. Steve has anger lines emitting from his head, the Toaster Creature alert lines.
Steve: "Hey! There's the guy who stole our bread!"
Steve: "He's headed for that Emerald Toaster. We've got to catch him!"
Panel 2
There is a fork in the road, with a scarecrow stuck into the dirt between the paths via a pole. There's an actual fork stuck into the dirt right where the path splits.
Beaver holds his finger up in the 'Well...' fashion.
Beaver: "You know Steve, we do have more bread at home..."
Steve: "A fork in the road! But which way leads to the Emerald Toaster?"
Beaver: "We could buy a whole loaf if you like..."
Panel 3
The scarecrow wiggles to life, POPing the pole out of the dirt. Beaver has surprise marks emitting from his head, and both Beaver and Steve lean back from being startled.
Scarecrow: "Oh! Did I hear you say you were headed for the Emerald Toaster? I've always wanted to go there so I can finally get myself a brain! Do you think I could come with you? Why we'll have such adventures together! This reminds me of a song I know..."
Panel 4
Steve conjures up a jar containing a brain inside it, holding it towards the Scarecrow.
Steve: "Actually I have a brain right here."
The Scarecrow looks slightly disappointed.
Scarecrow: "I... oh."
Panel 5
The Scarecrow waves with his left arm, his right arm holding the jar. Beaver and Steve took the left path (Which from our view is the path further back). Beaver is frowning slightly, and Steve shuts his eyes in a smirking fashion.
Scarecrow: "Well, um, good luck..."
Steve: "And to think you tried to tell me not to carry organs around..."
Panel 6
The Scarecrow, still frowning, looks at the jar.
Panel 7
The Scarecrow looks behind him in a stealthy fashion.
Panel 8
The Scarecrow CHOMF!s the brain, dripping with the preservative fluids that the jar contained it in. He has satisfaction marks emanating from his face.
Fun Facts
- The Scarecrow eats brains.
- Even the hill has toaster slots
- The Scarecrow's post disappears in panel 4.
- In panel one, there was no fork in the road on the path to the Emerald Toaster.
- The Emerald Toaster resembles the Emerald City from the Wizard of Oz.
- The Scarecrow is a parody of the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.

This is a little bit of a non-technical question for those working in the software development field.
My employer has spent a fair amount to renovate 2 executive offices into 1 software development area. There are 3 programmers here, and I am the only one who holds a degree, and the only general software developer - my co-workers program in a scripting language that controls our hardware product.
I feel that my employer is attempting to demonstrate to customers and others who visit the office that they are taking an active step in quality and functionality control by bringing the development in house (some of it has previously been contracted out).
I feel that we're being looked after; new furniture, new hardware to work on, etc.
I am considering whether it is appropriate to display my degree in the office. I generally feel that it would be fine, I'm proud of it and worked hard for it. My only hesitation is that there are engineers here who are much more well established in their careers who don't display any of their certifications (mind you, their work area is constructed of partition walls instead of drywall, but I don't think this is the deciding factor, but may be).
I would, of course, consult my employer before hanging anything on the walls, but I thought it would be good to get a feel before approaching them.
What has been your experience with this sort of decision, and are there other considerations that I am overlooking?
