I recently finished a trade school course in welding and the job i'm trying to get deals in Flux Core. I am by no means a master welder and i need all the help i can get!!
Long story short, we didn't have but a few days training in Flux and it was only the side to side weld and a little flat. This company uses all positions in flux.
The weld test is a simple one pass t joint vert and overhead on thin steel with the machine set on zero. Could ANYONE please recommend what to set the machine on volt and wire so i can hopefully go to work?
Thanks in advance!!

The wire manufacture will give operating Parameters for each Specific Wire and size.
With no real information it's hard to give speed and volt information.

Daryl Hall will celebrate the sixtieth addition of Live From Daryl's House with a visit from Joe Walsh.
Songs played during the show include Walsh's Rocky Mountain Way and Life's Been Good, Hall's solo songs Somebody Like You and Wrong Side of History, Wrecking Ball from Walsh's latest album and an James Gang track, Funk 49/50. In between, there is conversation and dining, all, of course, at Daryl's house.
'I was a kid in the Temptones back in Philly when I first heard Funk 49,' recalls Daryl. 'Joe was one of the first to take that blues-rock groove and really funk it out. He's one of the great guitar legends, an amazing musician. I couldn't wait to play with him.'
Joe, who clearly enjoyed the experience, was equally enthused to play with Daryl. 'He's been a favorite of mine for a long time,' he said. 'And I finally wound up on the East Coast with enough time to get up to Daryl's and represent. It was great to finally play some music with him. The band's great, the production crew's great, and I totally support the home-grown concept. Hope everybody enjoys the show as much as I did.'
Live From Daryl's House started as a web-only show but has grown through the years to where it is syndicated to numerous stations around the country and also airs on Thursday nights at 11 PM (ET) on Viacom's high definition music station Paladia.

A Charlotte Hall man has been charged with multiple counts of assault and reckless endangerment following a Monday night standoff with police in which he held his parents hostage inside their garage with an unloaded shotgun.
Steven Michael Scott Jr., 22, has been ordered held without bail on counts of reckless endangerment, assault, resisting arrest and failing to obey a lawful order after officers had to deploy a police dog to help subdue him.
Charles County sheriff's officers arrived at the home to find the hostage situation around 9:30 p.m. and surrounded the home, in the 14200 block of Enchanted Place in Charlotte Hall, according to charging papers.
Upon approaching the house, officers could see through a window that three people were inside the garage, including Scott, the papers state.
Officers saw Scott yelling at the other two people — later identified as his mother and father — and heard the sound of a shotgun�s pump action from inside the garage, court records state.
Cpl. John Freeman walked up to the garage door with his police dog, at which point Scott was seen raising the shotgun toward his parents, the records state.
Scott then turned his attention toward Freeman and began yelling at him. Freeman ordered Scott to drop the shotgun, but Scott refused, according to charging documents.
Officer M. Armstrong approached an adjacent door into the garage and ordered Scott�s parents to get out, but they didn�t comply, the documents state.
Armstrong entered the garage through an open side door, physically removed Scott�s father and repeatedly ordered Scott to drop the shotgun. Meanwhile, Scott�s mother pleaded with her son to drop the weapon, the papers state.
Scott refused and at one point made his way into the garage�s stairwell and asked to use a cell phone.
As the officers continued negotiating with Scott, Freeman let his police dog off its leash, the records state. The dog went into the stairwell with Scott, but did not immediately subdue him.
Armstrong entered the bottom of the stairwell and continued ordering Scott to drop the weapon. Armstrong was able to grab the shotgun, at which point Freeman ordered the canine to take Scott down, the documents state.
The dog bit Scott in the lower right leg, and the officers took him into custody after a brief struggle, according to court papers.
Officers found three 12-gauge shotgun shells and a three-page suicide note in his pockets, the records state.
In the letter, Scott apologized to his parents for his actions and concluded the note by writing, �suicide by cop,� the papers state.
The shotgun, a 12-gauge pump-action model manufactured by OF Mossberg & Sons, was not loaded, the documents state.
Scott's parents told investigators that their son retrieved the shotgun and went to the garage after getting into an argument with his father.
Scott was taken to Civista Medical Center in La Plata to be checked for injuries from the dog bite before being taken to the county jail.

Sebastian Vettel says it was a "great feeling" to secure pole position in Singapore after suffering a nervous few minutes at the end of qualifying...
Sebastian Vettel says it was a "great feeling" to secure pole position in Singapore after suffering a nervous few minutes at the end of qualifying.
Having clocked a 1:42.841 in his first run in Q3, the German and his team felt that was good enough to ensure pole and he remained in the pits while his rivals went out for a late second run.
News quickly filtered through that Mark Webber was up in the first sector before Nico Rosberg and Romain Grosjean went purple in the second one after the other.
However, Vettel, nervously watching the timesheets, held on to pole by 0.091s ahead of Rosberg having been quickest in the final sector.
"It was a weird feeling because you stand in the garage with roughly two minutes to go and you know it's too late," he said.
"But it's even worse when you see the others with their final attempt and you know there's nothing you can do because you're standing in the garage.
"I was watching the sector times very closely with Romain, Nico and Mark in particular.
"Mark started with a purple sector one, very close in sector two, then Nico had a purple sector two then Romain had a purple sector two but fortunately my last sector was enough to stay ahead.
"It was very close with Nico, so it's a great feeling because obviously it could go wrong.
"Very happy with the result, the car has been phenomenal all weekend."
He added "Yesterday the gap was unexpected but today the Mercedes is closer behind."
Looking ahead to Sunday's grand prix, Vettel admits that while starting from pole position at the street circuit is an advantage, he faces a tough challenge as his bids for his third successive Singapore GP victory.
"It's one of the toughest we face the whole year, I would say the toughest both mentally and physically because one lap is so long and there are so many corners with hardly any room for mistakes.
"It is very bumpy plus the heat and humidity play a factor.
"Pole is the best position to start from so I'm very happy with that because it is tricky to pass on this track but because it is such a long race I think there are plenty of opportunities for all of us.
"Happy to start from pole, try to have a good start and then settle into a rhythm and see what we can do."

This may turn out to be the busiest year in the Grand Wayne Convention Center's history.
But the man who was guiding its fortunes even before the doors opened 28 years ago this month – an event that paved the way for Harrison Square and other downtown improvements – won't be around to celebrate.
"It's time. I'll be 65 in April and I've been in this business a long time. But I'm proud of the building. It did what it was supposed to do from the start: get people who would not normally come to Fort Wayne to spend money here," said Bob Lister, who before retiring in July will have compiled an impressive but largely unknown record of helping create a local convention business that began haltingly but now attracts more than 200,000 visitors each year, at least half of them from out of town.
Because 90 percent of the Grand Wayne's events are private, that kind of activity has not always translated into broad public awareness of the role Lister and the center have played in the local economy in general and downtown redevelopment in particular. And while it's true that Lister has not been directly involved in much of that redevelopment, it's also true that Parkview Field and other successes may not have happened if the Grand Wayne Center had been the failure some early critics predicted it would be.
In fact, when ground was broken back in April 1983 – the same year Lister arrived from La Crosse, Wis. – Mayor Win Moses Jr. noted that for a decade plans had "been drawn and redrawn, the land cleared and left vacant and the dream, of a convention center never realized – until today." And even then, in the midst of an economy that featured 20 percent interest rates and the impending loss of the city's 8,000-employee International Harvester truck plant, there was no guarantee the city could reinvent itself as a convention destination.
But the center, built in part on the former site of the Jefferson Theater at 120 W. Jefferson Blvd., not only survived but justified a $40 million investment that in 2005 enlarged the facility from 100,000 to 225,000 square feet.
Lister guided and championed that expansion, saying the Grand Wayne was losing 165 events a year because of lack of space. And although he acknowledged that Fort Wayne remains primarily a state and regional market, Lister said the facility will host no less than nine national events among the more than 50 conventions scheduled this year. That's more than double the pre-expansion total.
Lister would credit his staff for much of that success, including Director of Sales and Marketing Marcy McKinley and heir apparent and Director of Operations Bart Shaw, who came to Fort Wayne from Dayton last year.
The wave of downtown improvements begun by the Grand Wayne, McKinley said, has made the facility more attractive to would-be guests – many of whom visit Parkview Field, restaurants, the expanded library and other attractions that didn't exist when Moses turned that first shovel of dirt.
And Shaw, who said downtown Dayton has faced many of the same challenges Fort Wayne has experienced, plans to build on that success through the use of online "social media" that also didn't exist when Lister took the job.
Not that Lister's job has always been easy.
One of the keys to the expanded Grand Wayne's viability was the addition of a second high-quality downtown hotel to complement the Hilton that had opened shortly after the convention center did in 1985. But groundbreaking for the 250-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel, originally scheduled for October 2008 didn't take place until the following June – a delay that for a time caused Lister to fear some big-ticket conventions might go elsewhere. The hotel didn't open until August 2010.
And the Hilton faced early financial troubles, with a 1987 foreclosure forcing the city to make good on its $3 million backup commitment.
Finances have been an issue at times for the Grand Wayne, too. This year's budget, for example, anticipates a deficit of about $250,000, but Lister said that reflects an annual payment of the $2.5 million that the Grand Wayne's board pledged toward construction of the hotel.
Having weathered lean years that saw many companies scale back traditional Christmas parties and other events, Lister said there are signs that a slowly growing economy will give a similar boost to the convention business here and elsewhere.
In fact, Shaw said it's possible the Grand Wayne will have to consider another expansion one day. That would be a fitting tribute to the man who was there at the beginning, even if he's too modest to say so.
From combatant to peacemaker
During her four years on City Council, Liz Brown was not exactly known for avoiding disputes.
Now Brown, who did not seek re-election in 2011, will be trying to settle them.
An attorney, Brown has begun the Brown Mediation Group, which specializes in civil and domestic mediation intended to prevent or settle lawsuits and avoid arguments during divorce.
"My time on council helped me see both sides, and that's what mediation is all about," she said.

Luiz Razia has defended Marussia's decision to sign an all-rookie line-up, confident that as GP2 drivers they will quickly adapt.
Earlier this week, Marussia confirmed that Razia, who finished second in last year's GP2 Championship, would partner Max Chilton.
The decision means the backmarker outfit will have the most inexperienced line-up as no other team has gone with two rookies.
Razia, though, is confident himself and Chilton will rise to the challenge.
"For sure for the team it was a tough decision and for us it's going to be a tough job," said the 23-year-old.
"So I think we just need to get together and really work through all the difficulties we have and eventually come up with good stuff, good work and try to make the most of it.
"It's going to difficult for me and Chilton obviously because there's a lot of circuits we don't know and a lot of stuff is new to us, so we need to get on a rhythm.
"But eventually GP2 drivers, normally, get in a rhythm quite quick - so I hope so for myself as well."
He added: "We're going to have some tough times, but not problems."
The Brazilian is relishing the opportunity to finally race in Formula One but fears his late call-up means he has some catching up to do.
"I've been pushing all my life to this point and eventually I got the opportunity," he said.
"It's a great opportunity to show and to prove - to me before anybody else - that I belong in this place.
"First of all I need to work hard because it's quite late that I got into the team. I need to catch up with everybody and move through all the things I can do in the car."

Throat cancer refers to cancerous tumors that develop in your throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx) or tonsils.
Your throat is a muscular tube that begins behind your nose and ends in your neck. Your voice box sits just below your throat and is also susceptible to throat cancer. The voice box is made of cartilage and contains the vocal cords that vibrate to make sound when you talk. Throat cancer can also affect the piece of cartilage (epiglottis) that acts as a lid for your windpipe. Tonsil cancer, another form of throat cancer, affects the tonsils, which are located on the back of the throat.
You can reduce your risk of throat cancer by not smoking, not chewing tobacco and limiting alcohol use.
Signs and symptoms of throat cancer may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you notice any new signs and symptoms that are persistent. Most throat cancer symptoms aren't specific to cancer, so your doctor will likely investigate other more common causes first.
Throat cancer occurs when cells in your throat develop genetic mutations. These mutations cause cells to grow uncontrollably and continue living after healthy cells would normally die. The accumulating cells can form a tumor in your throat.
It's not clear what causes the mutation that causes throat cancer. But doctors have identified factors that may increase your risk.
Throat cancer is a general term that applies to cancer that develops in the throat (pharyngeal cancer) or in the voice box (laryngeal cancer). The throat and the voice box are closely connected, with the voice box located just below the throat.
Though most throat cancers involve the same types of cells, specific terms are used to differentiate the part of the throat where cancer originated.
Factors that can increase your risk of throat cancer include:
Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. If your doctor suspects you may have cancer or another disease that affects your throat, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in diseases and conditions that affect the ears, nose or throat (otolaryngologist, or ENT specialist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For throat cancer, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time later to cover points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
If you use tobacco, stop. Avoid doing things that worsen your symptoms. If you have throat pain, avoid foods and drinks that cause further irritation. If you're having trouble eating because of throat pain, consider nutritional supplement drinks. These may be less irritating to your throat, while still offering the calories and nutrients you need.
In order to diagnose throat cancer, your doctor may recommend:
Once throat cancer is diagnosed, the next step is to determine the extent, or stage, of the cancer. Knowing the stage helps determine your treatment options.
The stage of throat cancer is characterized with the Roman numerals I through IV. Each subtype of throat cancer has its own criteria for each stage. In general, stage I throat cancer indicates a smaller tumor confined to one area of the throat. Later stages indicate more advanced cancer, with stage IV being the most advanced.
Your treatment options are based on many factors, such as the location and stage of your throat cancer, the type of cells involved, your overall health, and your personal preferences. Discuss the benefits and risks of each of your options with your doctor. Together you can determine what treatments will be most appropriate for you.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays, to deliver radiation to the cancer cells, causing them to die. Radiation therapy can come from a large machine outside your body (external beam radiation). Or radiation therapy can come from small radioactive seeds and wires that can be placed inside your body, near your cancer (brachytherapy).
For early-stage throat cancers, radiation therapy may be the only treatment necessary. For more advanced throat cancers, radiation therapy may be combined with chemotherapy or surgery. In very advanced throat cancers, radiation therapy may be used to reduce signs and symptoms and make you more comfortable.
The types of surgical procedures you may consider to treat your throat cancer depend on the location and stage of your cancer. Options may include:
Surgery carries a risk of bleeding and infection. Other possible complications, such as difficulty speaking or swallowing, will depend on the specific procedure you undergo.
Chemotherapy uses chemicals to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy is often used along with radiation therapy in treating throat cancers. Certain chemotherapy drugs make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. But combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy increases the side effects of both treatments. Discuss with your doctor the side effects you're likely to experience and whether combined treatments will offer benefits that outweigh those effects.
Targeted drugs treat throat cancer by taking advantage of specific defects in cancer cells that fuel the cells' growth. Cetuximab (Erbitux) is one targeted therapy approved for treating throat cancer in certain situations. Cetuximab stops the action of a protein that's found in many types of healthy cells, but is more prevalent in certain types of throat cancer cells.
Other targeted drugs are being studied in clinical trials. Targeted drugs can be used in combination with chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Treatment for throat cancer often causes complications that may require working with specialists to regain the ability to swallow, eat solid foods and talk. During and after throat cancer treatment, your doctor may have you seek help for:
Your doctor can discuss the potential side effects and complications of your treatments with you.
Throat cancers are closely linked to smoking. Not everyone with throat cancer smokes. But if you do smoke, now is the time to stop because:
Stopping smoking can be very difficult. And it's that much harder when you're trying to cope with a stressful situation, such as a cancer diagnosis. Your doctor can discuss all of your options, including medications, nicotine replacement products and counseling.
Alcohol, particularly when combined with smoking or chewing tobacco, greatly increases the risk of throat cancer. If you drink alcohol, stop now. This may help reduce your risk of a second cancer. Stopping drinking may also help you better tolerate your throat cancer treatments.
No alternative treatments have proved helpful in treating throat cancer. However, some complementary and alternative treatments may help you cope with your diagnosis and with the side effects of throat cancer treatment. Talk to your doctor about your options.
Alternative treatments you may find helpful include:
Being diagnosed with cancer can be devastating. Throat cancer affects a part of your body that is vital to everyday activities, such as breathing, eating and talking. In addition to worrying about how these basic activities may be affected, you may also be concerned about your treatments and chances for survival.
Though you may feel like your life — your survival — is out of your hands, you can take steps to feel more in control and to cope with your throat cancer diagnosis. To cope, try to:
There's no proven way to prevent throat cancer from occurring. But in order to reduce your risk of throat cancer, you can:

Another possible definition of efficiency is a system that works only when it is needed, and then does so in a particularly effective way.
This was the guiding principle for our engineers in the development of the electromechanical power steering. Statis- tics show that a car drives in a straight line 90% of the time. Unlike conventional hydraulic pumps, the electric motor uses energy only when the steering wheel is actually turned. The absence of hydraulic fluid also makes the system more beneficial to the environment.
As far as the other 10% is concerned, we're optimally prepared as the steering system is typically Porsche. It features a variable steering ratio and responds sensitively and directly at the same time as providing customary agility, a high level of comfort and precisely selected feedback from the road. Our definition of efficient.
Power steering Plus, the comfort-enhancing power steering system, is available as an option for the 911 Carrera models. At high speeds, the steering is as firm as possible, ensuring maximum precision whilst steer- ing comfort remains as high. At low speeds, the steering ratio of Power steering Plus adjusts for much easier manoeuvring and parking.

Well, since this is the automotive and motorsports section, thought I'd post up a little project i did for one of my bikes.
I ride and repair pocketbikes as a hobby. One of my bikes, The Rat, is a pint-sized ratbike, with various fun features such as an Altoids can air cleaner, DuPont spraypaint can muffler, dremel wrench killswitch cover, and a custom seat made from sheet metal, stick-on neoprene pad and supported by a cutdown office keyboard track. Here's a shot of the entire bike, showing most of the stuff I just listed:
Well, I was fooling around in the garage, and happened to think that The Rat needed something more, something totally custom that I KNEW no one had done before on a pocketbike, something that would really make a statement. I had a bunch of those old "flat-bar" wrenches laying around, and decided that several of them welded together would make a neat one-off chain guard for the bike. Second pic shows some of the wrenches laying near the front wheel - that top wrench on the chain guard is a 19mm/22mm wrench from a Yamaha tool kit.
In the first picture, you can see the old chain guard - not real exciting, just some cheap thin flat metal bent to shape. My new chain cover doesn't wrap around the bottom of the chain like the original one does, but offers some heavy-duty protection because of the thickness of the steel. Those cheapy ones get torn up pretty good when the chain breaks .....
While I was at it, I drilled another wrench and used it for a rear brake bracket:

Pocketbike Chain Guard
Wandering Minds
Well now you can carry your tools with you. The only problem I see you need a tool to get to your tools.
Where do you have the kitchen sink.?
That bike is a good example of "Alternative Recycling".

Well, when I first got the bike as an $80.00 craigslist special, it had been sorely abused. The previous owner had been using a street bike for an off-road bike, and had messed up a lot of stuff on it: fairings were thoroughly trashed, pegs broken off, covered in oily dirt, parts missing, and so on. Good thing was, the engine still fired, so I paid the guy off and brought it home.
Now, I COULD have gone ahead and restored the bike to original condition, but it would have been expensive. Just a new set of fairings alone cost $50.00, plus shipping and handling. (When you consider that these little things only cost about $170 brand-new, that's a lot for just the fairings!) Instead, I decided NOT to restore the bike to original condition, wanting to do something truly unique and fun during the rebuild. I was going to rebuild it ratbike-style, using whatever I had laying around to repair it. (All of the visible work is cosmetic only - The Rat can be restored to original condition at any time .... but why do that?) Nothing was ever really planned to be put on the bike, except for the modifications I did on the engine - everything else was kind of "spur of the moment" stuff, like the Altoids air cleaner and the DuPont spraycan muffler. The chain guard was something I'd had in the back of my mind for a while, and when I finally got decent at welding - I'd had the welder for four months previous - I finally decided it was about time to do a custom piece that would really set off the ratbike theme.
As for the spare tools, I do have a tiny "saddlebag" (not on the bike right now) that used to be the pouch for an XM radio. It's just big enough to hold a mini-ratchet, a couple of small screwdrivers, and another Altoids can full of Allen wrenches and spare bolts.
More pictures and a full description of everything done to the bike can be found on my thread at PocketBikePlanet.com. Here's the link:

Zond 5 was the first Soviet spacecraft to complete a successful circumlunar mission-after three failures.
During the flight to the Moon, the main stellar attitude-control sensor failed due to contamination of the sensor's optical surface. Controllers used less accurate backup sensors to perform two midcourse corrections. The spacecraft successfully circled around the far side of the Moon at a range of 1,950 kilometers on 18 September, taking high-resolution photos of the Moon and Earth.
On the return leg of the flight, a second attitude-control sensor failed and the spacecraft's three-axis stabilization platform switched off the guided reentry system. As a result, Zond 5 performed a direct ballistic reentry (instead of a guided one) and splashed down safely in the backup target area in the Indian Ocean at 32°38' south latitude and 65°33' east longitude, about 105 kilometers from the nearest Soviet tracking ship. Landing time was 16:08 UT on 21 September.

Mosquitoes Refuse To Bite Me
Two things:
First, Peyton Manning has not been a consistently great playoff QB in his career.
Second, anyone who thinks that today's performance wasn't a direct result of his neck injury and subsequent nerve damage is nuts. That overtime interception only traveled a few yards but it seemed to hang there forever. You could see that one coming a mile away even on the television.
Pittsburgh scored 23 pts last year vs. Denverdude tebow needs defenses to play great to win. If tebow played in this game with the defense played tonight..it wouldve been a blow out. TEbow can't march team into pts and drives and i doubt especially against ravens. SEriously this game should've not went into overtime..that was such a bad play on the ball..all flacco could do was get a deep play or else it was over. nobody expected that. If manning played with the defense that played last year and only allowed 13 pts on bens steelers. this game wouldve been over. Manning can and has to carry teams, tebow needs help from all sides and can't carry a team on his back. he can inspire them to play better, he needs a great defense. Manning made a big mistake, but it was a game because of him..tebow would've been over with trying to carry the offense on his back
It was priceless to read comments from Gator fans on so many forums last night, after they desperately had rooted for the Ravens, as if that had any relevance to Tebow and the NFL.
And now his fires have gone out.
That last interception was a rookie mistake, 100% or not that ball is getting picked off. Very surprising to see. Tebow still a joke

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Thirteen year-old Harry Potter has reluctantly spent yet another summer with the Dursleys, his dismal relatives, "behaving himself" and not practicing any magic. That is, until Uncle Vernon's bullying sister, Aunt Marge, comes to visit. Aunt Marge has always been particularly horrible to Harry and this time pushes him so far that he "accidentally" causes her to inflate like a monstrous balloon and drift away! Fearing punishment from his Aunt and Uncle--and repercussions from Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, which strictly forbids students from using magic in the non-magic world--Harry escapes into the night. Along the way, Harry will try to make sense of Hermione's puzzling appearances and disappearances, with the help of Ron and the giant Hagrid, who has taken on a new position at Hogwarts as the Care of Magical Creatures teacher. A confrontation between Harry and the menacing Sirius Black seems inevitable, but what exactly is Professor Lupin's relationship with Black? What is the dark secret that Professor Snape is so eager to reveal? And just why is Ron's pet rat Scabbers so frantic to escape his grasp? Harry will need all of the courage, magic and support he can muster to answer these questions and uncover the truth behind Sirius Black and his ties to the gifted young wizard's mysterious past.

A Leonardtown area man suffered burns on his face Monday afternoon, state investigators report, when gasoline vapors from a leaking generator ignited after he brought the device inside to make repairs.
Kelly Jung, 48, initially was treated at MedStar St. Mary�s Hospital for his injuries from the 3:22 p.m. blaze at the Forrest Farm residence, and he later was taken to the Washington Hospital Center for a further evaluation, according to the state fire marshal�s office. Jung�s non-life threatening injuries consisted of first- and second-degree burns.
Forty volunteer firefighters, primarily from Leonardtown, rushed to Kelly and Monica Jung�s home on Pembrook Drive and had the blaze under control within five minutes, according to a notice of investigation from an initial response to the scene by deputy state fire marshal Melissa Bean. Damages to the two-story home were estimated at $15,000.
The home�s occupants had determined the generator was leaking fuel, the fire marshal�s office reports, and after they brought it into the basement to make repairs, vapors from the fuel were ignited as an electric sump pump automatically switched on to remove water from the basement.

The last time I tried to do some comparison print tests between perceptual and relative colorimetric with an image with out of gamut colors, I couldn't see any differences.
You might want to try this on a synthetically constructed image like a Granger Rainbow (easier but not as effective, a good old spectral gradient).
Advantage; youll see every tiny bit of difference on such an image. You can build the image in LAB then convert to sRGB, Adobe RGB (1998), ProPhoto RGB or just assign new working spaces to the image in one of those RGB color spaces (the numbers dont change so it doesnt matter). Whats interesting is to see how the source profile affects the final. That is, the numbers in a duplicate file are identical but by assigning sRGB or ProPhoto RGB and converting to the same output profile, youll see differences and how the source plays a role.
Disadvantage is this isnt a real image. However, when you see banding or other issues in such an image, it does indicate it IS possible to see this in a real world image! I recently did a lot of testing of two profile packages using this and real world images. We were trying to see the effect of smoothing on the output profile. On even a good deal of representative test images, it wasnt always that visible where there were issues with the profiles. IF the image had a certain range and saturation of color somewhere in it, you could make out a slight difference. With the synthetic image, it jumps off the page!
So what does this tell us? Real world images are what we all work with. However, its often the case that issues like banding or smoothing issues will not be seen in some images, will be seen slightly in others and look pretty obvious in yet other real world images. Its kind of a crap shoot. With a synthetic image, theres no ambiguity whats going on.
Like the other post in this forum about LAB conversions, there are those that say you cant see the effect of this or that. That is somewhat valid but we never know when we could get bit in the butt based on image content (and the output device). The data loss or issues are still there, so if we cant see them, does that mean we should ignore the issues or pretend they may not crop up later?
So using synthetic images has some merit just dont put a huge amount of concern in the results all the time. Ideally, test with both types of images. They both tell you a lot about a process!

O.k. Mark,
Here we go. Today I started out to capture the famous yellow flower (at sunny daylight); colors even fall out-of-adobeRGB. In fact, I made two shots: sRGB JPEG and Raw. The Raw file was processed at camera-default settings to ProPhotoRGB, 16 bit. The only manipulation involved (by purpose) was that I set all sharpening to zero; in-camera as well as in ACR.
Both files were soft-proofed to an Epson premium glossy profile. The paper doesnt really matter, however, the scenario is clearer because the sRGB JPEG file is completely in-gamut now. Whereas the ProPhotoRGB file shows many many out-of-gamut marks with regard to the printer profile.
Surprisingly, the sRGB JPEG file shows much more details (at 200% magnification), whereas the ProPhotoRGB file shows posterization. Changing the SoftProof from RelCol to Perceptual helps, but not perfectly.
How can this be? It seems to me that the in-camera conversion & gamut compression to sRGB is somehow realized by a proprietary perceptual algorithm. No / less channel clipping, unlike RelCol. Remember, if the color engine supports this, its even possible between matrix spaces (afaik). If someone knows more, please post. Finally, saturation is sacrificed while details are maintained.
Also, its obvious for me that the Perceptual intent with the printer profile does not differ enough from RelCol to deal with such remote out-of-gamut colors from ProPhoto RGB.
This does not claim to be a scientific test. Equipment or whatever may play a role. Others may get different results or see things differently. A round-robin test could help. Also I desisted from any image editing, which of course requires only basic PS skills to realize a perceptual de-saturation by hand.
Do I like the results no.
Do I want to go back to sRGB JPEG no.
Am I missing something here cant exclude!
Do I go on holiday now yes, soon .
Cheers! Peter

Following please find an early article by Bruce Fraser, where he exactly describes the problem which I encountered:
Extracted from: Out of Gamut: Exploring Wide, Open (Color) Spaces
(Bruce Fraser, Sept. 2000)
A second problem arises with the Perceptual rendering tables built into most output profiles. All Perceptual tables contain an assumption about the source space: Some profiling tools, notably Pictographics' ColorSynergy, actually allow you to choose a source space, but most use a hardwired assumption. Few if any use a space anywhere near as large as either EktaSpace or ProPhotoRGB, so the default gamut mappings may not work all that well.
You can get around this -- very successfully, I may add -- by working inside a simulation of your output space and adjusting the colors in the source image to achieve the appearance you want. Photoshop 6.0, which should ship in the next few weeks, offers better output simulations than any previous version, and lets you preview RGB output as well as CMYK. So you can regard the gamut mapping issue as a blessing and a curse.
The blessing is that you can control the mapping of the colors in the original to your output. The curse is that you have to.
For further theory just follow my posts from page 7. Finally, I just can recommend to try the real-world tests which I suggested at page 10: Capture an intensive yellow flower at sunny daylight. Make two shots: sRGB JPEG and Raw. Process the Raw file in the way you prefer to ProPhotoRGB. Softproof both files to your preferred printer profile (or make tests prints) and compare details.

The only con to ProPhoto is a slightly greater chance of posterization or banding if editing in 8-bit mode. But if you use 16-bit mode (which you should be doing anyway) this is irrelevant and there is no real downside to ProPhoto.
The downside is a heck of a lot of potential colors you cant see. You might be editing colors out of display gamut that fall within working space gamut. For 99% of users out there, this is the case with Adobe RGB (1998) as ProPhoto RGB. Unless you have one of the new Adobe RGB (1998) gamut sized display that is. This is a minor issue but one users should be aware of. Id rather have the colors at my disposal and be very careful about editing extreme saturated colors (IF they happen to be in the image) then not have them to begin with.

As for the idea of a wider space only being useful for very saturated colors, theres more to it than that.
My non-technical understanding would be, if I have a pure, saturated yellow paint in my pallette, then I can mix it with other colors to produce shades that I couldn't get if my yellowest yellow was not pure, say slightly green or blue.
I've just tried a little experiment setting 'proof setup' to a Bill Atkinson Premium Gloss profile for the Epson 9600. My eyes have already told me I will get a purer yellow on this paper using ProPhoto, so I was curious to see what the numbers are.
For pure RGB yellow (255,255,0) ARGB is within gamut for this paper at maximum saturation, ie. it's not possible to make it out of gamut. However, using ProPhoto the saturation has to be brought back a small degree (-6) with the hue/sat control in PS. The proof RGB numbers, second reading on the info pallette, are 254,255,28 for ProPhoto and 242,255,81 for ARGB. The numbers tell me the ARGB yellow at maximum saturation has more blue and green, and that's what I see on the paper.
However, all the other primary colors at maximum saturation are out of gamut by a significant degree for both color spaces in relation to this glossy paper, particularly green and cyan which have to be brought back by 62 points on the hue/sat control in the case of ProPhoto and 47 and 29 points respectively in the case of ARGB.

First, with rendering intents to output spaces, you have to decide if youll clip the colors or compress them. ...
Just a friendly question:
Are there any printer profiles
which support Perceptual rendering in way
which assumes that the source space was ProPhotoRGB?
No. Output profiles dont have any idea when built what the source color space will be.

Ray, my understanding of how all that you just mentioned works, in a nutshell, is as follows. D50 and D65 are two conventions for the color temperature of the monitor, and the color management folks tell us if we use 6500K on the monitor in our minds eye the image looks closer to a daylight reflected image than it would if we used 5000K monitor temperature, eventhough daylight lamps are in the range of 4800-5000K. When you ask them why, they just tell you it is observed experience about how we humans function (whoever said coherence and consistency were hallmarks of the human condition?).
The main parameters for calibrating a monitor are the white point, black point and gamma. Once these are set, profiling is done to measure the numerical differences between the (correct) data describing the color reference patches of the profiling software and the (perhaps incorrect) values the monitor shows them as. These measurements are then used to create a profile that neutralizes these differences so the monitor shows the colors of the file data. Likewise the printer profile measures and neutralizes differences between the (correct) data in the software file for each patch on the profiling target and the (perhaps incorrect) numerical values the printer prints them at. (Both sets of profiles calculate interpolations for all the data between these reference points.)
The file data is "nerve central". Once these two profiles are in place, the system is color managed because both the monitor and the printer are being managed by the two profiles to reproduce the same set of numbers in the file. All file data that is in gamut for both the monitor and the printer/paper should look pretty much the same, allowing for the fact that transmitted and reflected light are inherently different. We cannot see on the monitor colors that are out of the monitor's gamut. As there is no reason for the monitor gamut and the printer/paper gamut to be the same, Photoshop's soft-proofing module simulates an impression on the monitor of what the printed image will look like once we activate it with the printer profile that will be used for printing. Note, we are not profiling the monitor with the paper profile. Photoshop just uses the paper profile to create the soft-proof.
As far as I have been able to parse it, this whole discussion about whether or not it is useful to work in ProPhoto color space so far boils down to two propositions: (a) if Prophoto includes - but ARGB98 excludes - values that current and future generations of printers can reproduce, we should retain those values because they will improve printed image quality; ( as long as we work with 16 bit data, there is very little risk that Photoshop's shakedown of out of (printer) gamut colors will produce any noticeable banding.

Aside: using Soft Proofing correctly, you can be about 90% accurate in your visual predictions on-screen to print.
As I said, using a large color space puts the fun and intrigue back in printing.
Seen from a different point of view: If you send the same file to the printer you get the same print every time. Even if half the pixels are out of print space gamut. The print process is deterministic going one way. But the reverse is not true. If you could run time backwards and feed the same print into the printer you will not get the same file every time. Because there is only one in gamut file and many many out of gamut files that will render to the same print.

Peter, I don't think that is correct. Firstly we are not converting a color space to a printer profile. As I mentioned above the printer profile measures and corrects differences between the file data and how the printer reproduces that data.
Im not sure if I get your point.
RelCol is always RelCol (afaik). All in-gamut colors remain unchanged, whereas all out-of-gamut colors are mapped to the surface of the target space. The more you have, the more it leads to an overpopulation = posterization = loss of details (also called clipping which may be a little bit misleading).

My thinking exactly. Some of this stuff can be in the realm of angels dancing on the head of a pin; that said, it's still fun being just geeky enough to get under the hood and better understand some basic principles at play.
By the way, about a year ago I also tried alternative rendering intents on a photo of some buildings and trees taken in downtown Grenoble, France. Using my Epson 4000, Enhanced Matte paper and Epson's profile, I DID see subtle differences in some of the shades of green, sky hue and colours of the walls - but I emhasize the differences were subtle and most noticeable with Absolute Colorimetric; this was to be expected (Real World Color Management, page 92).

Andrew, what I take from your nuanced response is that there is a (perhaps very) low probability risk of encountering some "issues" (whatever those are) in normal photographs using ProPhoto colour space, but - going back to earlier posts - perhaps this risk is worth taking, because we know that some of today's printers can reproduce some colour values that ProPhoto retains but ARGB98 does not and this is likely to become more pronounced with future improvement in printer technology. Would this be a reasonable way of drawing together the key implications of this whole discussion?

Insure the output profile is accurate, especially with respect to the soft proof table (the table in the profile that controls the soft proof, not the actual output)
I don't have the equipment to make my own profiles. The profiles I used with my Epson 1290 are Pantone created profiles freely available for various Epson papers and recommended as being quite satisfactory by Ian Lyons.
Now I know they are not going to be the best. There's variation amongst desktop printers, just as there is with lenses of the same model. But I found these profiles to be good enough at the time. I now use an Epson 7600 for critical work.
The example I've been using to make a point about the gamut warning function is probably less relevant with modern papers, inks and profiles which probably all have fairly close gamuts. For example, with a saturated image open on screen, gamut and proof colors ticked, black point compensation and 'simulate paper white' ticked in custom proof setup, one can switch between the various profiles that are in one's color folder and observe the effect any particular profile has on those
gray patches.
For example, I've got an image in PS at the moment I've been workin on. I've increased the saturation a lot because I like saturated colors. With Epson's 7600 Watercolor profile (device to simulate) there's a moderate degree of gray patches; with Textured Fine Art paper there's a very slight degree of gray patches; with Premium Lustre there are no gray patches whatsoever. However, with the Pantone/Epson PhotoPaper profile, virtually half the image is covered in gray patches. Photopaper is an old paper type. It doesn't appear to have nearly as wide a gamut as Epson Premium Gloss and from past experience, if I were to print this image on Photopaper and let the rendering intent sort things out, then shadow detail would be severly compromised in a way that is not visible on my calibrated monitor in proof setup.
I've assumed all along that the gamut warning is giving me a fairly accurate indication of the comparative size of the gamut of any particular paper type. But if you're saying this gamut warning in PS is basically a useless piece of crap, then I'm natuarally wondering what tool could replace it

..if your original capture does not contain tones out of the gamut of AdobeRGB, then there is no point whatsoever (and quite a few negatives) in using ProPhoto as your color space unless you plan to artificially manipulate the saturation of your image to a considerable degree.
Ill go one step further, and I know nothing about color management. You dont have to be a color scientist to understand this: If you are working in a color space you cant print, you are doing a blind edit. Thats a fact on its face. The rest is a matter of degree.
Whats amusing are those who say they are preserving colors by working ProPhoto even though they know they cant print the colors they are preserving. And worse, they cant even see some of the colors they are preserving. It boggles.
Working in 16 bit is an entirely separate issue.
If youre shooting RAW to some color space on the fly, you cant know what scene may or may not contain data beyond Adobe RGB (1998). IF youre shooting RAW, you can select, as I do when viewing the ACR histogram. No harm done.
As for the gamut of the printer, what printer and when? If you look at the gamut of printers in the last 10 years (a century in dog and digital years), a lot has changed. I have no idea the what I may be able to print with a 12 color ink jet or some other technology in 5 years or less. As such, I find no reason why I should funnel color I can capture into a smaller space based on what I may be able to reproduce today. If 100% of my work went out to a four color press, this would be a moot point. Ive got right now, a Pictrography 4500, Epson 2400, 2200, 980 and R800. I have no idea what Ill be using next year, let alone 10. Theres no harm at all in using a wider gamut container (editing space) in 16-bit considering my crystal ball isnt always working with respect to future output technology.
Theres no output device that can print sRGB other than a display. So the argument that theres no device that can output ProPhoto RGB isnt compelling. Working space are not output spaces and vise versa.
16-bit isnt an entirely separate issue since the bottom line here is what data can you capture and keep and what should you keep?

There is nothing said thus far to refute the premise of Jeremy Daalder's article. This is not about opinion. Its about numbers. Predictable, deterministic math. It all boils down to a squirt of ink determined by a number. Its as simple as that.
Im not saying dont use PhoPhoto. Use it. Have a ball. I am saying that when your working space is far greater than your printer/paper space you are knowingly introducing an unnecessary unknown. Which adds mystery to the output but nothing else of value.
If some one can explain how a color outside the print space is of some value during editing, Ill read it. But at the moment, its mere religion.

I see no one has answered my question regarding the actual average range of discrete colors in a 24 bit 1Ds image. I thought it might help to get in perspective concerns that some have about ProPhoto and 8 bit. There are programs for calculating the actual numbers of different colors in any given image. I vaguely recall someone with the British Journal of Photography once used such a program on a selection of images and found the numbers surprisingly small, like 500 to a few thousand.
Despite using ProPhoto myself for all the reasons outlined in this thread, I've never done any rigorous comparison of a selection of real world images, editied in both ARGB and ProPhoto before printing. Ultimately, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I suppose I wouldn't expect to see any significant difference in the results unless I knew precisely where to look, or how to select images that could reveal the differences.
For example, if I wanted to demonstrate the differences between sRGB and ARGB, I would choose an image with lots of solid green, the green of leguminous plants and freshly fertilised lawns, and lots of subtle shades of cyan. I would expect, no matter how hard I tried, I would not be able to get a green, green enough with sRGB (too much yellow), and some of the subtle and distinct shades of cyan would merge, compared with the ARGB rendition.
To demonstrate the differences between ProPhoto and ARGB, the obvious choice of image would be one with bright yellow flowers as well as canaries, but also subtle shades of dark brown, (and what else? I'm not sure.) It should be possible to produce an image containing a series of dark tones that are distinct when printed from the ProPhoto color space, but not distinct (merged) when printed from ARGB.

In workflow A camera colors are clipped in 2 steps, in workflow B in one step.
Exactly. . .in 'A' you clip the color before even bringing it into Photoshop-thereby forever giving up the possiblitity of using the color data that get's clipped. In 'B' YOU have control over what does and doesn't get clipped and how it gets clipped...so, the question is, do you want to have control? Or, do you want to toss camera colors before you even get the image into Photoshop?
Me? I'm a control freak-I want total control. I don't want color that the camera can capture to be clipped merely because the working space can't contain it.
sRGB clips a lot...
Adobe RGB clips a little...
Pro Photo RGB doesn't clip...
What you do with your image is up to you, but personally, I don't want to lose anything. That's why I use 16 bit and Pro Photo RGB.
Don't Fence Me In...pretty much says it all. Adobe RGB is a fence that reduces what the camera can capture. I think the grass is always greener on the other side-and in the case of Pro Photo RGB, that is exactly the case!

Jeff, thanks a lot for explaining the philosophy.
P.S.: I have no luck with the Color Range Out Of Gamut option. Selection always differs from the SoftProof / out-of-gamut marks.

The Granger Rainbow is certainly brighter and more colourful when assigned a ProPhoto profile (as opposed to sRGB and ARGB) both before and after proof setup for Premium Glossy, RelCol, simulate paper white and sat reduction to tame gamut.
Brighter appearing when you Assign or after youve output the file?
Brighter appearing due to the new meaning of the numbers certainly makes sence. But the numbers havent changed (only the definition). This is where this exercise is interesting. Lets distill the Granger Rainbow down to a single pixel, say R255/G0/B0. Youve built this one pixel (and in fact the entire Granger Rainbow) but it has no specific color space associated until you assign a profile. If you assign sRGB, the number is still R255. If you assign ProPhoto RGB, well the number is still R255. The only difference is you tell the color management system the scale of the R255.
So we take three identical files, all filled with R255 but define where in the color space that most saturated red lives within context of human vision. That info is used when we convert to an output color space. The new number will be different for each of the three files (sRGB, Adobe RGB (1998) and ProPhoto). Weve used the same output profile, the same rendering intent and the same original R255 value. This little tests is useful in showing the effect of the source definition of the color space. Its interesting when using the same output profile for the same device but built by differing packages (especially with Perceptual rendering).

The Raw file was processed at camera-default settings to ProPhotoRGB, 16 bit.
And that alone could be a major factor in how well or poor your results are with no bearing on any color space you converted the file into.

Windows 8.1 features Miracast wireless display tech, and it works well
For me, there was very little more frustrating than trying to get moving pictures from my PC to the TV. What should have been easy always turned into a nightmare of mismatching codec support (PlayTo), missing cables and adapters, and fumbling of FAT32 USB sticks (which can't even hold your typical H.264 encoded movie). But that was then. Windows 8.1 is now. And we now have wireless display capabilities baked right into the OS.
Miracast is here!
To be more specific, Windows 8.1 (preview) ships with an implementation of the Miracast standard. This standard shipped a little under a year ago and defines a protocol that devices can use to share their "screen" with each other. That is, you can now do the things you wanted but failed to do with a TV companion, like show off a PowerPoint slide deck or stream a chick flick on date night.
The Miracast specification requires that devices transmit H.264 encoded video and at least 2-channel Linear Pulse-Code Modulation (LPCM) encoded audio. Devices can upgrade the latter support as needed (e.g. Dolby Advanced Codec 3) but otherwise that's it. There's not a lot room for OEMs to screw up here.
But does it work?
My set up consisted of a Surface Pro and an up-to-date Netgear Push2TV (PTV3000-100NAS, $59.99 Amazon) connected to a generic LG TV. The TV isn't important here as the adapter acts as a Miracast bridge, connecting to the TV via HDMI (and optionally USB for power). With just a few flicks and taps on the Surface, I was able to effortlessly stream its screen to the TV. Woot!
What about my xxx PC and yyy TV?
Of course you'll probably want to set this up using hardware different than mine. Here are the key features your Windows PC needs for success:
- Wi-Fi. If you're thinking about streaming from the desktop, you may want to pick up a wireless adapter. But make sure it's...
- A wireless device that supports Virtual Wi-Fi (introduced in NDIS 6.2) and Wi-Fi Direct (introduced in NDIS 6.3). You should see this in newer wireless devices that ship with Windows 8 support. (Most newer PCs have this so you're probably okay.) To print the NDIS version of your network devices, open Powershell and issue this one liner: Get-NetAdapter | Select Name, NdisVersion
- A display driver specifically for Windows 8.1 (i.e. WDDM 1.3) with Miracast support. Both NVIDIA and AMD have preview code up but neither appear to support Miracast at this time. Microsoft is providing Miracast-supported Intel drivers (188.8.131.5200) inbox for select chipsets though.
(Based on preliminary code and findings. This list could change, beware.)
Walk me through this, please.
First, ensure you meet the requirements for connecting to a wireless display (see above).
Where can I read more? What if I need help?
If you run into snags and met the hardware requirements above, feel free to tweet or email me. But please be cognizant of the fact that this stuff is undocumented and bleeding edge. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
Device compatibility list
(Last updated October 21, 2013)
- Surface Pro: Working. If you're on Windows 8.1, make sure you update the wireless drivers.
