If you're going to do this professionally or for a long time, it is worth having good strobes. But two inexpensive strobes with power levels matched will produce a consistent color temperature. I've done quite a few paintings with just two Flashpoint 150W/s strobes, angled in at 45 degrees, with polarizing gels. I can shoot at f/8 or f/11 sometimes depending upon the distance of the lights. And this was at half power.
You'll want to have a color reference card, like a QPcard for profiling. There can be some color shift with polarizers. But they do a really great job of making the reproduction look like the original by taking out the glare. Works especially well on a textured canvas. Be sure to kill the ambient lights and modeling lights before tripping the shutter.
And yes, the 60mm/2.8 AF-s micro Nikkor is great for this work. It has almost zero distortion.

I am new to strobes - just not sure what brand and model to target (I mentioned Interfit to John).
I wish I could help but I've no idea what brands are sold down under.
I guess you would call that a 'rake light' - no?
So you are saying three strobe lights - 2 at 45 degrees
- and another (at a tweaked power level) and at a tighter angle
- would this require a modifier - ie vertical strip or slit
-seems you would run into issues of being hot on one side?
How large are your canvasses and how large of an area do you have to work in?
Another question that comes to mind is the new fluorescent lights out there
Kino-Flo for best CRI & output, but you'll need to buy rolls of polarizer filter to cover the light source. Another issue is getting a good, even spread over the art. If the fixture is too small, there will be uneven light.

Well as you're discovering there are endless opinions. Many of them worth exactly what you paid for them.
My comment continues to prove true.
Tota's do get hot and they do need to be flagged. I guess they've sold a million of them for the good things they do, not the negative point others are making.
I have Profoto Pro 6s and 7s, Acute1200R packs with Acute heads and D1Air 500s. As well as Elinchrom, Balcar and Comet systems. They all have their strengths. So when I reach for the Totas despite owning some of the best flash gear on the market there must be a good reason.
As I've said many times, use what suits you. But there are some tools that are standards for a very good reason.

Curious what those reasons are. Is the added blue channel gain under tungsten lighting not an issue in your view?

I profile the camera with each setup so I'm correcting for even small room influences and any variation in the coating on the different macro lenses used so color is not an issue. When I shot 4X5 there was a slight difference between the Nikkor AM ED 120 and 210 but I corrected back then using a minolta color meter initially and then balanced in PS based on tests printed and the profiles I'd saved.
If specularity issues present themselves I can see most of them in the camera before even taking a first test shot. After importing the DNG into LR to use as a profile I can examine every small detail and correct anything I or the artist/gallery owner find.
Pretty straight forward and faster than reviewing images taken with flash.

Go with the Lowel hot lights and cross polarization.
It works well and has for a long time. Most fine galleries and museums who do a lot of copy work use them.
Dependable, repeatable and easy to use. Is there is a problem it is easy to replace.

I have been painting for as long as you have been photographing and texture is an issue for me...
I am an artist and a photographer. Like you, I would hate for the texture in my paintings to look 'flat'.
My approach for water colours, oils and acrylics would be to have one mighty flash illuminate the artwork from the top-left or top-right as far from the artwork as you can manage. This will provide even illumination with natural-looking shadows to form the texture. The flash could be either diffused or direct, in which case, a very large white reflector would almost certainly be required on the opposite side of the flash light source. Control the fill with the reflector to produce the degree of texture that pleases YOU (the artist!).
On your camera, step down your aperture two or three stops smaller than its widest opening, use a tripod, lock the mirror up, and use a remote trigger/cable (or the camera self-timer) to eliminate vibrations. I have never used polariser gels on my flash - I suppose it wouldn't hurt - but would definitely use a 'quality' polarising filter on your Nikon lens. It's unlikely all reflections will disappear but not to worry because this adds to the perception of texture. Include a shot with a Gretag Macbeth colour chart (they have the best neutral grey reference, period).
Processing. I calibrate my monitor to a white point of 6500K. Alongside my monitor, I have a Solux 4700K lamp (with a black back) directed at the artwork for colour reference. In Photoshop or Lightroom, I will 'sample' the third lightest grey patch on the Gretag Macbeth colour chart image to reduce any colour casts - this is the grey point. From there, tweak the colour balance to your taste. Leave the room, take the dog for a walk, come back to the screen and evaluate the colour balance once more - your initial 2-second impression will be correct as our eyes adapt to colour very quickly. Tweak the colour balance some more if necessary. Repeat the exercise the following day.
Shoot in raw, edit in Adobe RGB (1998) or better (with the intended profile activated) and convert to sRGB/CMYK JPEG if necessary after all editing is complete.

Regarding your light source, natural diffuse daylight is good, flash is is also good as is tungsten. I would avoid LEDs or fluros unless the manufacturer can supply spectrum charts that show that their product produces no obscene colour spikes regardless of whether the lights are marketed as 'daylight'. My advice, stick with flash ... it's cheap, consistent, reliable, cool and portable. Nothing wrong with a powerful off-camera speedlight or a $500 studio flash for digital photography.

Hi Transformer
Thanks for the response - especially regarding capturing of texture - there is a photographer (Randy Hufford) that sells a DVD on photoshop cafe that swears by the same principle - namely rake lighting to capture texture - in his case he used massive banks of vertical fluorescents (which he also markets) - and will often move them around to tweak the light (they're mounted on wheeled platform) - its very much a hands on - experimental approach - something he has been doing for years. Well anyway - I latched onto the DVD and was glad I did - he mentions a special application by Robin Myers called
Equalight 3
that can be used in a given photshoot - basically 'evening out' any non-uniformity in lighting conditions. Its not a licence to bypass the goal of balanced light on a given two dimensional artwork scenario - but rather a way to minimize if not completely eliminate drop off (both from lens and lighting).
On another note is the issue of 6500K vs 5000K is an interesting one. Chris Murphy - one of the authors of RealWorld Color Management suggest that if you can manage to control light levels - to affectively achieve a digital darkroom - he suggests a monitor set to 5000K rather than the standard 6500K - I am guessing I will be going down that route - right now painting up a room with a neutral grey to achieve such a setup - and yes - I have learned from others here on the forums - the highly recommended Solux 4700K Black Back bulb - in my case I ordered the color proofing kit (4 bulbs) - not sure - but thinking it might spit out a 'little too much light' (what's your experience?) -guessing I will need to experiment with it.
On a lighting scheme - I am pursuing the use of Solux 4700K (50W x 16) bulbs for image capture as well. Robin Myers - who was with Better-Light in the early days admitted that they had looked into this scenario - at least in the case of smaller to medium sized artwork - so his admission perked my interest - he developed another application -
that allows you to measure spectral curve in such a setup - so exploring this. Solux are not perfect mind you - they do have a warm fringe - so planning to use a set of their plano convex diffusion filters on them - and test. My backup scenario will be strip lighting with strobes - looking at Aurora brand - but so hard to find a seller in these parts in New Zealand and not sure if the recommendation is based on brand affiliation (coming from the studio coach website).
Anyway thanks to all for the thread - still learning my way around this.
cheers :-)

Yup. Pretty much any pair of lights that are consistent in color balance and output from shot to shot. Cross polarize and you're there.
Anything beyond that, simply not needed.

I think the discussion reveals a lot of different approaches and I think at the end of the day - this should be appreciated. To say that one size fits all - misses the point - since each situation presented by a unique artwork presents a number of variables into the mix. David Saffir, in his SpyderColor video (link found earlier in this thread) - uses continuous lighting provided by North Light HID Copy Stands. Robin Myers, who was with Better Light in the early days - when they were developing their system - admitted to me in an email that for a majority of their work - they also used North Light HID Copy Stands and in cases where artwork was small - Solux lighting was sometimes used. This was part of their strategy to counteract uneven spectral distributions where spikes (also mentioned earlier in this thread) - made capturing tough colors such as cobalt blue, quinacridone magenta and indigo a concern when trying to reproduce in various media. So my experimental approach using Solux is not unfounded. Appreciate all who have contributed to this thread - so I guess its a perfect time to agree to disagree.

Workflow is another key element in fine art repro. It is important to get a good capture. I have been using strobes and cross polarization for thirty years. Back in the days of film, it was much trickier--practically impossible to make a "true-color" reproduction, especially when you factored in the limitations of offset lithography.
The digital age has made it possible to come within a few percentage points of accurately recording and reproducing most flat artwork.
In the days of film, I used hot lights. Bardwell & McAllister made wonderful lights for continuous and ultra even illumination across the picture plain. They are still around and I believe that light is still available.
Fortunately, the digital age changed everything for the better. About seven years ago, I began using a multi-shot camera with custom profiles, a high-end monitor, Photoshop, and large format printers. High-quality strobe lights offered much more precision (especially with multi-shot photography) and a lot more flexibility. I also liked not exposing original artwork to hot lights. Come to think of it, I didn't like being subjected to the heat either.
Sure, you can measure any light source with a color meter and find the peaks and valleys of color output across the visual light spectrum. But there are so many steps along the way after the initial capture that are available to compensate for irregularities.
Learning how to exploit Pro Photo RGB, LAB, CMYK, and understanding additive color versus subractive color make all the difference in the world in terms of being able to efficiently reproduce artwork.
In other words, lighting is just one aspect, albeit important, in the chain of reproducing accurate hue, saturation, and tonality in the final product.
And by the way, Better Light scanning backs are excellent--they require continuous light sources. Robin Myers knows his stuff for sure. I opted to go with a multi-shot solution because as a platform it enabled me to use single shot in the studio to capture living things--like dogs and humans.

Thank you for posting using Yahoo babel fish.
If you would have taken the time to use to start with it would have saved same time.
Google has a good auto translator also.
I think you did some nice work, thank you for sharing it with everyone.
Welcome to the great welding forum of Miller, lots of great people here with lots of knowledge.Tim Beeker,

Hello everyone:
My intention was to share my experience with a project.
I find some of the comments pitiful. Miller is a global manufacturer that sells and sources from many countries.
It seems that people are not allowed to express themselves on this forum if they don't speak English.
It's sad to see that kind of discrimination on a forum like this. People assume that America is the land of democracy, but not on this forum.
It's a shame that some still think they are the conquerors of the world.
I'm thankful that a few were able to get some ideas from my contribution. It's my understanding that anyone who follows the rules of the forum can contribute ideas or ask questions. That's noble, shows intelligence, and integrity.
Can only an American have ideas and no one else? To those that think negatively of my message, I want to tell you that I pity your lack of humanity, intelligence, and common sense. You're so poor that the only thing you have is the belief that you are superior. But on the inside, you amount to nothing.
To all the others: My respect and sincerest greetings.
The malicious comments don't make me feel bad. On the contrary, they provide assurance that I am better than the jerks.
At least solipripro wrote with excellent usage, grammar, spelling, and mechanics. And that's much more important to conveying an idea than the language.
The following is NOT a robotic translation.
Voy a pensar del mensaje de solpripro cada vez que veo un maldito ignorante gringo quien supone que pueda hablar ingles, pero no sabe como escribirlo.
A lo menos solopripro escribió su propio lenguaje con una gramática excelente y eso es más importante para compartir una idea que el idioma / lengua.
Por favor perdonan los errores del español, lo leo mucho mejor que lo escribió.

De nuevo, doy las gracias a los que entienden que este es una parte de la página de Miller, donde se muestran PROYCETOS DE SOLDADURA.
No importa quién los haga, de dónde sea.
Lo importante es compartir nuestros trabajos con los demás.
No me desenimo al ver las discusiones que se han dado. si algunos consideran que deben discutirse cosas sobre política, inmigrantes, ilegales, drogas o cualquier otro asunto, creo que están en el foro equivocado, porque esto es para los que hacemos trabajos en metal, soldadura, y otras cosas y las queremos compartir por si alguien está interesado en tomar una idea.
Gracias a todos.

Again, I give thanks to that understand that this it is a part of the page of Miller, where are PROYCETOS OF WELD.
It does not matter it does who them, from where it is.
The important thing is to share our works with the others.
Not me desenimo when seeing the discussions that have occurred. if some consider that things on policy, immigrants, illegal must be discussed, drugs or any other subject, I believe that they are in the mistaken forum, because this is for which we do metal works, weld, and other things we want and them to share in case somebody is interested in taking an idea.
Thanks to all.
Yes bodybagger,
I agree the auto translators do a poor job. But they do a good enough job though. I used google translator to decipher your message.
It is only common curtisy to at least attempt to post in the host language.
The OP did a fine job on the fabrication and welding.

Comments: Bought this shaft initially for roller hockey. very powerful shots with minimal strength use to shoot. the flex is great for all type of shot. When my red totalone 1pc ice stick broke, i bought a P14 NXG curve to attach to it to use it for ice and its awesome! This 2pc NXG performs better than a 1pc Reebok 11k & the 1pc TotalOne stick that i broke. the durability and the flex is great and can take all the abuse of the game. Of course the down side is its a little bit heavier then those 1pc sticks but to me it out performs the rest. Bought it when it first launched and have been using it ever since.
From: Benjamin, Singapore
Comments: :Heard this was a great shaft for slappers. Which isn't bad by the way. Great look, but honestly I want a stick to
perform well all around. Only issue I am having to adjust with is that it doesn't have a grip coating. When in close I like to snap
the wrist to go upstairs with it. Without the grip it's been rolling in my palms causing less accurate results. Great weight for shots and stick handling. Still prefer the Mako.
From: Eric, PA
Comments: Bought this to replace my broken ONE100; my ONE100 snapped after 2 months use, I decided to go with the 2 piece system. I also bought the P92 blade to go with this. This 2 piece set-up is very light compare to other 2 piece but feels slightly heavy compare to some of the high end one piece. The heavy feeling is due to the hosel weight at the blade shaft joint area. The shaft doesn't come with any grip coating, it allows you to slide your hand up and down more easily when loading up slappers and stick handling. In terms of shots, I do not notice a difference in comparison in my team mate's widow, total one. (which are true one piece). cant comment on durability just yet as I just bought the stick not too long ago. But if the stick breaks, only the shaft needs to be replaced. Overall, the stick has a good feel to it, slightly heavier feel due to the 2 piece system characteristics but by all means still relatively light.
From: Eric, Coquitlam, Canada
Comments: Bought this and a Bauer p92 blade to replace my broken ONE100. The shaft comes in matte finish (no grip coating) which allows easier slide for stick handling or loading up shots. With regards to weight, I have to say it is pretty light for a 2 piece but heavier than most high end one piece; mainly due to the added weight at the hosel joint. This however, does not affect my shots. I don't notice any change in flex point when comparing to a TotalONE or Warrior widow. I would recommend this for those has a tendency of snapping their shafts or blade.
From: Eric
Other Items to Consider
Bauer Standard Hockey Shafts Senior
The Bauer Vapor X700 Hockey Shaft is the most affordable Bauer Vapor shaft. Its carbon and fiberglass construction provides solid durability and an overall lighter feel. It uses the same Micro-Feel II shaft dimensions as the Bauer 1X, which gives the shaft an anatomical fit and allows for easier wrist movements. The X700 shaft only fits traditional .620" blades.
The Bauer Supreme TotalONE MX3 Traditional Hockey Shaft is the premier mid kick offering from Bauer Hockey. The MX3 features the same TeXtreme® Carbon Fiber and eLASTech Resin System as the TotalONE MX3 Stick. TeXtreme® is 20% lighter than traditional carbon without sacrificing durability or strength. The eLASTech Resin helps to extend the shaft's longevity by preventing micro-fractures from growing to the point of breakage. The Amplified Mid Kick Point allows players to quickly load a lot of energy into the shaft, resulting in deadly shot power and velocity.
The Bauer Supreme 160 Traditional Hockey Shaft has Supreme's signature Amplified Mid Kick that allows players to quick load up on the shaft, providing a powerful shot release. The Bauer 160 Shaft is constructed of a tough carbon composite, offering a high-level of durability without losing responsiveness.
The Bauer Vapor APX2 SE Traditional Hockey Shaft features many of the sought after technologies seen in the APX2 stick. The TeXtreme® Carbon Fiber is 20% lighter than traditional carbon and provides top notch pop too. The eLASTech® Resin System helps to preserve the pop life of the shaft while also preventing small cracks caused by slashes and pucks from growing. The signature Vapor flex profile is spearheaded by Bauer's Intelli-Sense Shot Technology that allows the upper handle to flex for powerful booming shots and still has a lightning quick shot release with it's low kick point. The Senior Shaft Length is 52" and is available in a 77, 87, 102 and 112 flex with a Griptac (grip) shaft coating.
The Bauer Vapor X90 Traditional Hockey Shaft is an excellent mid price point shaft from the Vapor Shaft Line. With a low kick point, the X90 provides a lightning quick shot release. The Micro-Feel II shaft dimensions were passed down from the flagship APX2, giving the player a better anatomical grasp on the shaft. The premium carbon fiber used throughout allows for a better lightweight feel with increased responsiveness.
The Bauer Vapor X80 Traditional Hockey Shaft is the entry level model from the Bauer Vapor Shaft Line. This shaft features the same Micro-Feel II shaft dimensions seen on the APX2, which are thinner and more anatomically fitting than the rest of the Bauer line. The carbon and fiberglass blend gives this stick a solid feel in the hands and provides excellent durability.

Olivia Celebrates 40 Years of Adventure on the High Seas
Forty years ago, a group of 10 women met in a Washington, D.C., living room with a dream of starting a record company for women and lesbian artists. Millions of records later, Olivia has evolved from a company that brought lesbians closer through music, to one that literally connects millions of lesbians through cruises, and resort and adventure travel.
"Back in 1973, we thought we could change the world by creating music by women for women," said Olivia president and founder Judy Dlugacz. "So we put out our first albums by Meg Christian and Cris Williamson, and we had an extraordinary response. We sold tens of thousands of albums. We had no idea it would have the impact it did -- an instantaneous coming together of women and lesbians."
Dlugacz told EDGE that Olivia had tapped into the zeitgeist, as women were just beginning to grasp the possibility of being free in that way. She likened it to "the Internet of the '70s," as women who formerly felt isolated united through music, buying records and attending concerts.
After about 15 years making music, Dlugacz began to think of the next step for her successful enterprise. Someone suggested a 15th anniversary concert on the water in Seattle, and the idea resonated.
"I found out how to charter a ship, and we did our first cruise in 1990," she said. "It was a natural extension of the music and entertainment, the thread that connected the record company to the travel company."
She wrote a letter to Olivia fans, inviting them to sign on to cruise to the Bahamas, where they could be free to be themselves while on vacation. They needed 600 women to book the boat, and tickets sold out almost immediately, Dlugacz said. They chartered another boat for the following week and had 600 takers for that one, too.
What made the vacations unique -- besides that almost all the guests were lesbians -- was the onboard entertainment: the musicians, standup comics and other performers the community had grown to love.
"Olivia was able to do cruises because we had built a connection person to person, record by record," Dlugacz said. "This has been a constant for the past 40 years, and although we are much bigger now, with a lot more visibility, Olivia still has the same connection to the community that allows us to be able to do what we do today."
From Hootenannies to Adventure on the High Seas
The success of those first cruises let Dlugacz and her crew know that they had a business model with amazing potential. And although Olivia Records continued to release music until the late '90s, the vacation options grew and diversified to include a full complement of cruises, as well as resort and adventure travel packages to suit all interests.
"When we started, we were primarily offering cruises. Then the resorts were integrated. And then, as more guests wanted to travel to exotic places, we created the Ultimate Escapes, like small cruises to the Galapagos Islands, Tahiti or the Mediterranean," said Tisha Floratos, Olivia's vice president of travel.
The company now has more than 150 cruise, land and adventure vacations in its portfolio, ranging from culinary-themed world cruises to stays at a Mexican Riviera beachfront resort and eco-friendly African safari lodges.
Olivia also began offering Ultimate Escapes programs: more intimate, extra-luxury cruises at a higher price point. Riverboat cruises in Vietnam came complete with excursions, and 130-person boat trips through France stopped at villages along the way for wine tastings and dinners.
"At some places, we get right off the ship and visit the town," said Jill Cruse, Olivia's vice president of guest experience. "Then we have adventure trips, going around the world with National Geographic to watch whales and to kayak, or to the Galapagos, or cruising to Alaska in smaller ships that can go close to the glaciers and get more intimate with the wildlife.
"The energy on the women on these trips is something you can't imagine," said Cruse, who has been with Olivia for 23 years. "Something about it attracts the animals. You see a lot more than usual. On a recent safari, we saw a pride of lions where a week before, they saw none. And guests on our Kenya safari saw all the 'Big Five' in one day."
Every decade, Olivia hosts an enormous anniversary celebration. This year it will replicate the inaugural cruise by reuniting Christian and Williamson for the first time in 30 years for two back-to-back cruises. Each will have far more than 600 guests this time around.
"We decided to do our biggest cruise ever: a 2,100-passenger ship," Dlugacz said. "We brought Meg and Cris back together, along with 20 other amazing performers in both music and comedy, and put this out there. In two weeks, it was completely full. So we chartered another 2,100-passenger boat, and that filled up as well."

There are many debug commands that you can run to troubleshoot problems on Juniper firewalls. The most common debugs used are:
Debug flow basic
shows the flow of traffic through the firewall, allowing for troubleshooting route selection, policy selection, any address translation and whether the packet is recieved or dropped by the firewall.
Debug ike detail
show all of the vpn messages between two devices when setting up the vpn. Useful to see problems between Juniper and 3rd party firewalls or configuration porblems.
Other debugs are ones allowing troubleshooting of routing protocols, av, deep inspection, higher availability, NAT and loads of others. You can find out what others there are by typing 'debug ?' on the cli.
Debug captures are sent to a buffer by default but can be sent the console.
Buffer commands:
get dbuf info - Displays debug buffer size in bytes
get dbuf stream - Displays the contents of the debug buffer
set dbuf size - Allocates system memory for the debug buffer
clear dbuf - Clears the contents of the debug buffer
Here are best practices when debug flow basic and how to read the output.
Debug Flow basic
1) get ffilter - see if an filters have been set already, if they have you use 'unset ffilter' to remove
2) set ffilter - allows you to limit the traffic that you capture using src-ip, src-port, dst-ip, dst-port, ip-proto Recommeded as debug flow basic can be intensive on the firewall especially if it is under heavy load.
filters that are written on one line are and 'AND' statement. eg set ffilter scr-ip 10.1.1.1 dst-ip 184.108.40.206 will match 10.1.1.1 AND 220.127.116.11
filters that are on seperate lines are 'OR' statements. eg set ffilter scr-ip 10.1.1.1, set ffilter dst-ip 220.127.116.11 will match 10.1.1.1 OR 188.8.131.52
3) debug flow basic - turns on flow debuging with a level of basic logging
4) clear db - make sure there is nothing in the debug buffer from previous debugs
5) Begin the test, do a ping or try to access the resource that you are having problems with.
6) undebug all or press Esc key - turns off debug
7) get db str - reads the debug buffer and outputs it to the screen for reading.
8) unset ffilter - remove ffilters when finished
Juniper Firewall Packet Process
Reading a Debug Flow Basic
FW-> get dbuf stream

flow session id 8061
post addr xlation: 10.1.1.5->220.127.116.11. - shows if there has been and address translation and how the packet looks when it is sent out.
Things to look for when there are problems:
Packet dropped, no route to host - no route has been round in the virtual router that the interface and zone is bound to that the packet arrived on. You need to look in your routing table to check to see if you have a route for the desitnaiton or source depending how you are routing.
Packet dropped, denied by policy - If just before this you see a message saying searching global policy then it means that no policy has been matched so it has been dropped by default. You need to check your policy configuration.
Policy match - Check the policy matach to make sure that it is matching the right polic and not doing allowed or denied by another rule
Also check to make sure any NAT is happening that needs to.
If this has been of use then give it kudos and I will look to write more
Post a message on any suggestions of topics you would like covered, either troubleshooting, configuration or explinaiton of features.
would like to share above link, very useful for configuration/troubleshooting of Firewall VPN.

Thanks raheel, forgot to add that in.
extremely helpful post
thanks Andy and Raheel

Thanks AndyC.
This post is very helpful.
Hi Andy,
Great contribution! Well deserved kudos :-)
One small detail remark: from the block "Dest reachable?" the Yes arrow should go to "Crossing zones/inter-zone block", in stead of going to "policy lookup" directly.
Just my 2 cents...

Thank you for this post!
Can you also add a link to the following KB article, perhaps at the end of the Debug Flow Basic section?

Hi - was trying to access this link through the Forum and it comes up empty. Thought you should know it appears to be broken.

1 (12 inch)
pre-baked pizza crust
1/2 cup
ripe tomato, chopped
1/2 cup
green bell pepper, chopped
1 (2 ounce) can
chopped black olives, drained
1/2 small
red onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can
artichoke hearts, drained and sliced
1 cup
crumbled feta cheese
A friend brought a version of this to a dinner party as an appetizer, she also added a little mozarella and parmesan cheese, it was a hit! It really looks pretty if you top it with the cheeses and then lay big slices of fresh tomato over the top.
This was really expensive to make and was a major disappointment. Won't be making this one again.

Very tasty! My first dish using pesto and it turned out great! My hubby & 3 yr old loved it! Inexpensive (and quick!) to make if you use the Quick and Easy Pizza Crust (also on this site - I will be adding a tblsp. or so of Italian herbs to the dough before baking next time).
Excellent recipe!!! I made no changes to the recipe, and the pizza was perfect. It tasted fresh and delicious. This fast and easy recipe is a perfect summer meal.
Yum! Everyone in my family loved this pizza - even the ones who don't like feta cheese. The only changes were... I made my own dough with some oregano and garlic salt added, I used orange bell pepper instead of green, and tomato basil feta. This one is definitely going in my recipe box!
Out Of This World Delicious!! It smelled so good while baking in the oven, and tasted even better. I used some homemade pesto from my basil plants - - nice and garlicky. There is nothing I would change on this recipe....it's perfect.
Yum, yum, yum! Perfect as is, but we used 1/2 mozzarella and 1/2 feta instead. A keeper and REPEATER!
I loved this recipe...yes, a bit on the expensive side, but totally worth it! I like adding some sunflower seeds for a bit more crunch.

I'm planning to get my 18-55 Canon kit lens a lens hood to protect it from the elements. Which would be the correct hood: a petal hood or a round one?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Photography Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional, enthusiast and amateur photographers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You need a round one because the front element will rotate when it zooms/focuses.
The EW-60C seems to be what Canon specs for this lens. That's a round one. Note that a lens hood is designed more to protect from stray light bouncing around inside the lens barrel and/or reducing flare than it is for physical protection from the elements. If you are just trying to provide a bit more protection, be sure to put a skylight or UV filter on the lens.

Maryland lawmakers who support reform of the state's marijuana laws are not planning to introduce legislation in the upcoming General Assembly session, despite the popular votes in Colorado and Washington state to legalize pot.
Sen. David Brinkley (R-Dist. 4) of New Market, who in the 2012 regular session co-sponsored an unsuccessful bill to allow for pharmacies to distribute medical marijuana under state control, said marijuana laws need reforming, but he is not optimistic anything will be done in the next session.
In 2011, the state passed legislation to allow patients with a prescription for marijuana for medical reasons to use that as an affirmative defense should they be charged with possession.
But the effort to allow medical marijuana to be sold at pharmacies regulated by the state failed this year after a veto threat from Gov. Martin O'Malley (D).
Morgan Fox, spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project, a nonprofit organization that supports reform of state and federal marijuana laws, said he believes Maryland has made significant progress on the issue, but like many states is waiting to see what federal officials do.
The federal government still views marijuana as an illegal drug, even in states that have legalized it, Fox said. That has created confusion and concerns for state officials.
Maryland did pass two more-lenient laws governing marijuana in 2012. One reduced the penalty for possession of less than 10 grams to 90 days maximum from a previous one year in jail. The other required police to issue citations for the offense in place of arrest and incarceration prior to a bail hearing.
A fiscal policy note estimated that $27 million could be saved statewide in jail costs, as well as to police, prosecutors and public defenders.
"The war on drugs is more of a war on our community pocketbooks," Brinkley said.
Sen. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Dist. 20) of Silver Spring said the state is moving toward taking a "more rational" approach to marijuana, and the passage of the two ballot issues in other states will help with that.
But Raskin, who co-sponsored the marijuana reform bills with Brinkley, said he has not heard of any bills planned for the 2013 session, even though many lawmakers believe more reforms are needed.
"I have heard a very broad consensus that people consider the war on drugs a failure," Raskin said. "What we've been doing has not been working in America. This is not a Maryland issue, it's a nationwide issue."
The state and the nation need to look at it from a criminal policy standpoint as well as from a public health point of view, he said.
The voters are moving faster than the politicians on the issue, Raskin said.
"This is not dangerous politically to be talking about anymore," he said. "My ally on medical marijuana is Sen. Brinkley. We really have a conservative-liberal alliance that we need to have rationality in our marijuana laws."
Michael O'Loughlin, a political science professor at Salisbury University, agreed.
"This is an unprecedented breatkthrough with regards to this issue," O'Loughlin said of the Colorado and Washington state votes.
But not all lawmakers are on board, Brinkley said. He said he was criticized by a fellow conservative senator who opposes medical marijuana.
"He asked me, 'What are you doing?' I told him I was just trying to create another cash crop for the tobacco farmers in his district," Brinkley quipped.

Life Stages
JDRF provides free toolkits, articles, information, and online groups for people of all ages and stages of life with T1D. If you need fast assistance for a particular question, get personal support from JDRF's Online Diabetes Support Team.
T1D Information
Get information about type 1 diabetes daily care and treatment, coping with emotional demands, and helping delay the onset of complications.
Control and Management
The key to T1D control is a careful balance between food, exercise, and insulin. It's a juggling act to keep blood glucose levels within the target range. Therefore, people with T1D should stick to scheduled blood sugar checks, insulin injections or boluses, and snack times. Even small departures from your diabetes care plan can cause blood glucose levels to rise or fall.
Preparing for an Emergency
To support people with T1D in the wake of hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, or any event involving emergency conditions, JDRF has created helpful emergency preparedness information.
Emergency Checklists
Emergency Checklists are useful in informing individuals who are not familiar with the clinical aspects of type 1 diabetes (T1D) of what to do in case they are faced with a diabetes emergency.
Dealing With T1D in Times of Crisis
This special issue of Life with Diabetes e-newsletter provides critical information on such topics as caring for your child with diabetes in times of crisis, an emergency "survival guide," and tips for dealing with new schools.

In Best Colleges 2015, U.S.News & World Report recognized Bradley as the top Illinois university of its type and number four overall among Midwest Regional Universities providing a full range of undergraduate and master's programs. The Caterpillar College of Engineering and Technology was also ranked nationally as one of the 35 best undergraduate engineering schools and the Foster College of Business was ranked as one of the best undergraduate business schools. The annual survey also recognized Bradley as a Top 10 "great school at a great price" in the Midwest. This ranking compares a school's academic quality, as indicated by its ranking, to the net cost of attendance for a student receiving the average level of need-based financial assistance.
Bradley's Doctor of Physical Therapy program was ranked among the top 100 programs in the nation by U.S. News and World Report's 2013 issue of America's Best Graduate Schools.
The Princeton Review
Again this year, Bradley was included in The Princeton Review's "The Best 379 Colleges." Only 15% of all four-year colleges receive this distinction each year, and Bradley has regularly been included on the list.

"E" Award
The International Trade Center in Bradley's Foster College of Business received the prestigious 2009 Presidential "E" Award for U.S. Exporters. Only 21 awards are being given nationally and the Bradley ITC is the only trade center in the country to be recognized. The President's "E" Award was created by Executive Order by President John F. Kennedy on December 5, 1961, to recognize persons, firms, or organizations which contribute significantly in the effort to increase United States exports. It is the highest U.S. Government recognition any U.S. entity may receive for supporting export activity.
Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review ranked Bradley's undergraduate entrepreneurship program among the top 25 programs in the nation.

Bradley's commitment to community service was recognized in 2013 by the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, an award administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service. The honor highlights Bradley's civic engagement and service-learning programs on campus as well as its student volunteer work around the globe.
The Princeton Review: Top Game Design Program

The University was selected from 150 universities that offer game design courses and/or degrees. Bradley has offered the video game design concentration through the Department of Interactive Media and the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems since fall 2010. Its ranking is based on quality of curriculum, faculty credentials, facilities and infrastructure.
Washington Monthly

Kosher Poultry
|Annie Southern Fried Chicken
From Ellen: Growing up in Washington, my family had a housekeeper named Annie Barley, who made the best-fried chicken. She would batter and dip it in crushed up cornflake crumbs - you know, the ones that came in the box with the big red rooster on it? She used an iron skillet with four inches of oil in it. Whenever I came home from school and that chicken was frying, I knew it was going to be a great dinner.
Canola oil for frying
Fry the chicken. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour 3 inches of oil into a deep skillet or heavy saucepan (fill a skillet no more than halfway) and heat over medium heat to 300°F (measure on a candy thermometer). Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Place the egg wash and cereal each in shallow dishes. Working in batches, dip each chicken piece in the flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg wash, and finally in the cereal, pressing the crumbs with your hands to adhere to all sides; add the chicken to the skillet and fry until the crust is nice and crispy on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
Serves 6
Recipe: kosher, poultry, chicken, meat

Happy New Year, everyone. I begin 2013 by reaffirming my point that the right-wing, one-state forces in Israel are taking leadership to frame the conversation in a post-Oslo world. Now it is Naftali Bennett and his HaBayit HaYehudi party leading the way. Bennett, though a zealous nationalist and an orthodox Jew, presents a much more reasonable face which he puts on his outrageous plan for endless occupation and permanent apartheid. And, while we can critique his ideas, we need also to recognize that this sort of thinking is making its way into the political arena–it's in Israel now, which means it will soon be in Congress and parts of the European right. An alternative needs to be developed and politicized; peace activists need to stop wasting time in the misguided effort to raise Oslo from the dead.

Recipe by brossettelewis
"The blueberries in these whole wheat pancakes are so sweet and moist that they don't even need butter when eaten while hot! This is our Saturday breakfast, healthy for me; yummy for husband and kids."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 1/4 cups
whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1 cup
milk, plus more if necessary
1/2 teaspoon
1 tablespoon
artificial sweetener
1/2 cup
I lost my 100% whole wheat pancake recipe and tried this one. What a wonderful surprise. My son and husband sucked them up and I had to make another batch. I always double it now and use a 1/3 cup batter per pancake. My alterations: All organic ingredients, 3 tablespoons sugar instead of 2, and brown sugar instead of the substitute. Ive made them several times and the recipe proportions are great. As is, you will have a bouncy, very thick pancake. Sometimes the family wants thin pancakes and I add 1/4 cup milk (for base recipe- double this for a double recipe). My recommendation is to use fresh ground flour! Use soft wheat berries. We love this recipe better than my old one!
I'm sorry but i did not like these and am wondering what I did wrong because there where so mnay good reviews. I love whole wheat flour more than white too but these had a weird bitter taste to them and all my baking supplies are newer and have been used before so I dont think that is the problem. m The only i did differently was rubbed oil on the pan ibnstead of using spray.

Great recipe. Just add a bit more milk (or soy milk) and you're good to go! I make all the dry stuff in large, large batches, store, and then when ready, measure out the right amount of "mix" and add the wet. This way, we're all ready in the mornings!
I use this recipe almost every weekend! It is so versatile that I can make different kinds with whatever I have on hand. I've used ripe bananas, blueberries, blackberries, and even used just cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves/vanilla when I didn't have any fruit. You can sub some or all while flour if you are running low or have picky eaters. I even use vanilla soy milk to add that hint of vanilla and sweetness. I use Splenda instead of packet sweeteners and find that 1/4c of Splenda does the trick. These are so good you can eat them without any syrup! I usually make a double batch and put the extras in the fridge or freezer. Just pop in micro or toaster and you are good to go! You don't even have to worry about overly juicy fruit, like if you use frozen, because I usually end up using more than the cup of milk and the juice makes up the difference. I absolutely love this recipe and it is SO easy to mix, match, change, add and still I have yet to have a bad batch! I even keep them warm in the oven while cooking other items and they still turn out great! Top with some sugar free syrup and it is the best "healthy" breakfast that the kids won't even notice there's no added sugar!
These were excellent. We used cane sugar instead of artificial, and 2 eggs instead of one. We also added a couple tablespoons of wheat germ and a little flax seed meal for some added nutrition. Even my picky 4-year-old loved these!
Soooo good!! I did add 1/2 t of cinnamon and vanillaand doubled the blueberries (my family really love them). I was also a little leary of all the whole wheat , so I used 1/2c of white and 3/4c of whole wheat,and I did need to add about 2 T more of milk, butthese pancakes are great!
since it's a little dry, adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or mashed bananas makes it so moist and delicious
It is a tiny bit dry, but worth 5 stars b/c it is afterall a whole wheat pancakes and the kids can't even tell. I mashed up strawberries to the mixture and the kids and hubby managed to finished 8 servings!!!

Contrex Natural Mineral Water
Calcium-Rich Water For The Ladies
CAPSULE REPORT: Louis XV's physician prescribed Contrex: now you can drink the King's water. In France, this high-calcium water is marketed as a "slimming water." Don't believe that it will help you lose weight any more than drinking lots of tap water. The pitch is that calcium is needed by dieters (so are lots of other vitamins and minerals not present in Contrex—take that multivitamin!). But the recommended daily intake of calcium per day is 1,000 mg. One liter of Contrex contains 486 mg, so prepare to spend a lot of time (and $4.00+ a day) drinking two liters (almost 68 ounces, or 1 gallon, 4 ounces) to get 972 mg. Regardless of the numbers and the hype, this is a sophisticated water, worthy of a taste. And if you're not disposed to take vitamins or eat foods high in calcium†—or just want all the calcium you can get—drinking Contrex is an excellent way to get it.
†Almonds, bok choy, broccoli, collards, dairy (cheese, milk, yogurt), kale, spinach, calcium-fortified orange juice, tofu and soymilk.
With a pink bottle cap and a big red heart on the pink-and-blue label, men are not likely to reach for this bottled water. While Contrex began its ascent to fame as a restorative for France's King Louis XV, in today's crowded marketplace, parent company Nestlé knows whom to target this high-calcium content treasure: to women.
While "Shape Yourself Naturally™" with Contrex may cause some marketing-savvy observers to raise an eyebrow, female consumers have responded in droves—even the bottle is shapelier than almost anything else in the category. The appeal, that Contrex helps replenish the body with nutrients like calcium that may be lost while dieting, is true. We all know that calcium is vital for healthy bones and teeth, and helps slow the rate of bone loss as we age (and decreases the risk of bone fracture). Calcium also plays a role in nerve function and muscle contraction, and apparently it helps the metabolism as well.
In fact, if one is going to drink bottled water and one does not like to swallow vitamins, Contrex® Natural Mineral Water does kill two birds with one stone. It's natural calcium, which absorbs better than that ingested by tablet. Among waters, Contrex is the "king of calcium," and also is rich in magnesium and sulphate—highly unusual, and a beneficial chemistry to anyone who drinks it (including men and kings). However, each one-liter bottle contains 486 mg of calcium and 84mg of magnesium. While that's a huge amount for a bottle of water, the suggested intake for an adult woman is 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium per day. That's beaucoup de l'eau pour boire, and beaucoup d'argent to pay for it. Our advice: swallow the pills and drink whatever you want. For those people who will not take vitamins or drink milk and need their calcium, is this an alternative way to go? We are not a medical advisor, but we would conclude it is better to get some calcium than none.
On the palate, some people may not notice the high mineral content, others will (in fact, first serve it to people without an introduction, and and see if they comment). Unlike some high-mineral-content waters where you can taste the minerals, Contrex manifests itself not so much in flavor, because it is very low in sodium (salt) and bicarbonates. What one does notice is a lack of crispness and a thicker texture to the water—not "bad" characteristics. Evian is equally un-crisp, to our taste buds, and millions of fans have not decried its lack of crispness. When the water is served cold, much of this quality is "chilled away."
The beneficial qualities of the water from the natural springs at Contrexéville, in the Vosges Mountains of northeastern France, the largest forest in the country. The springs have been known since Roman times. But wide acclaim came in 1774, when King Louis XV's physician built the first spa there. Contrexéville water was recognized as a Natural Mineral Water by the French Government in 1861 and was first bottled in 1908. Prior to then, one had to "take the waters" in Contrexéville to enjoy the benefits of the water. And, with such a royal endorsement, people flocked there for centuries, to both bathe in and to drink the water from the thermal mineral springs.
Contrex is now owned by Nestlé. An environmental group, Agrivair, administers an environmental protection program that protects 22,000 acres around the perimeter of the springs. The plant welcomes visitors for a guided tour and tasting, including flavored versions not imported to the U.S.
*TDS = Total Dissolved Solids
Contrex is an elite water, hard to find, like Badoit. But if you like to drink lots of bottled water each day, this is a fine way to add supplemental calcium and a nice hit of magnesium.

Should you have any questions about Piaget luxury watches, please call us at +44 800 279 51 10 or Email the concierge .
In 1964, Piaget went beyond the limits of what was possible by pushing mechanical performance and the watchmaker's art to the extremes of miniaturisation. With the recent availability of new ultra-thin movements, the 9P and 12P, the Manufacture launches what will remain one of its greatest creative traditions: hard stone dials. An innovative know-how, emblematic of Piaget, perpetuated today in its Altiplano collection, proving that technique and sophistication, however great they might be, can be comfortably housed in a small space. A numbered edition, available exclusively in the network of Piaget boutiques, each watch highlights the uniqueness of a type of stone. Fitted with Piaget's 430P ultra-thin, hand-wound mechanical movement, this 38-mm diameter model combines white gold and lapis lazuli. This deep-blue stone, studded with pyrite like a starry sky, was one of the first stones used by ancient man in jewellery and decorative art.
430P movement
A direct descendant of the legendary 9P movement, the 430P is an ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement, measuring only 2.1 mm thick. It offers numerous possibilities in terms of variations and it served as the model for the 600P, the world's thinnest tourbillon movement. Simple, sturdy and ultra-thin, the movement features central hour and minute functions. It perfectly exemplifies the attention Piaget accords to its finishes, with the traditional circular Côtes de Genève, circular-grained mainplate, bevelled bridges and blued screws.

Fantastic pack
By cobisan
from Lakewood, CO
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about CamelBak Charge 10 LR™:
I decided to give this pack a try - even though I was skeptical about a lumbar style for mountain biking - and boy am I glad I did. The pack is perfectly balanced and I hardly noticed I had it on, even when the temp hit the low 90's. I love the easy access to the bladder, the wide mouth and the quick disconnect of the hose.The pack itself has way more room than I expected. Only downside is the pockets in the interior aren't as deep as I would prefer, nor are there any compression straps on the exterior. While it wasn't a problem with the load I was carrying (arm/knee warmers, rain jacket, food, pump(s), multi tool, tube & zip ties), if I was carrying less the contents *may have the tendency to jump around.For the price I expected the Charge 10 to be nice. I was wrong. It's my favorite pack and it is AWESOME!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Pack
By PDX rider
from Portland, OR
About Me Competitive Cyclist
Not sure where the reservoir usability comments are coming from. I'm had this pack for a year now and have had no problems emptying the reservoir on the trail. I've used the pack on longer rides (with water bottle), short rides and bike parks. Weight sits low, which adds to comfort and ability to get wild on the bike. The pack is light and durable, and dries quickly. Best pack I've owned so far (and I've had many)

Nice backpack very poor bladder design
By BG
from UK
The "O" ring that attaches the delivery tube to the bladder has a design flaw. It allows the ingress of air, which prevents you from sucking the liquid. This is a problem with a lot of these bladders and Camelbak should have sorted it by now!! Especially at this price!!!! Basically it is useless as a bladder pack.

Doesn't deliver 2 litres
By fuzzynod
from Oxford ,England
Bought for mountain biking but fluid runs away can only pick up lower levels by squeezing sides.Comfortable pack with good storage for its size but let down by poor fluid flow although listed as 2 litres always seems to leave 0.5 litre in various segments of resovoir plus I am sucking in air for a good portion of the ride as the pick up point is too high up the resovoir.I thing the 3 litre version shaped resovoir would be better.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Poor performance Mountain/Trail Biking
By dmace
from Atlanta, Ga
About Me Casual/ Recreational
The pack is comfortable to wear with weight distribution low. The fluid flow in substandard and inconsistent when Mountain Biking or riding rough trails. I gulped more air than fluid even when reservoir was full, which only got worse as the fluid level decreased. This pack would be best suited for short hikes, 2-3 hours tops.

Worse hydration pack ever
By The most interesting man of the world
from Buena Park, CA
Filled it with 32 oz of water, but unable to drink any. It seal itself to the point that I was carrying deadweight instead of usable hydration. Totally unhappy. I have an older mule that was too heavy for my ride. I also used a military spec 100 oz. before completely happy with those. Camelbak has great products but they missed the mark with this one.

Most readers probably already have a Facebook profile, and that's fine. If you have already created a profile (or are doing so today), I suggest checking out these posts to make sure you're covering the basics in handling your profile:
- 10 Facebook Tips for Writers. This post includes some essential things writers should consider when completing or fixing up their Facebook profiles and Facebook usage.
- 6 Tips for Writers to Own the New Facebook Timelines. Around the end of 2011, many of the Facebook profiles were changing over to this new timeline design. It's probably the de facto design for new users now, but here are some tips on handling this transition. If you haven't switched over yet, now may be the time to go for it.
- Use your real name. Whatever you use as your byline and however you wish people to think of you, that's the name you need to use for your profile. I don't refer to myself as Robby Brewer on Facebook; instead, I use my byline: Robert Lee Brewer.
- Complete your profile completely. Even if you don't have a lot to say, complete your about me section. Include ways for people to contact you via e-mail. Include education and work history.
- Use your account regularly. A dead account isn't going to help you much. So make an effort to get on once every day or so and share a quote or like a status update of a friend or just do anything. You don't need to do a lot--just let the Facebook world know you're still alive.
Of course, it'll also help to make you worth contacting as well, but we'll get to that throughout the month.
Have fun Facebooking today!

Large Polyester Rope Hammock
Our bright, weather-durable soft spun polyester rope promises a cottony skin sensation, plus many season of backyard-relaxation satisfaction.
With a bright shade, this hammock imparts a peaceful, easy feeling!
It's the color of sundrenched clouds and of soft and powdery snow. It's the color of craved-for Caribbean beaches. Not to mention that it's also the color of the polyester rope we use for hand-weaving several of our celebrated hammocks.
Our Large White Soft-Spun Polyester Rope Hammock means spacious relaxation for two in a weather-durable, cottony soft setting just perfect for watching those white, puffy clouds drift by as you're daydreaming of distant sugary-white beaches. And should you later forget and leave this hammock hanging outside in the full throes of winter, to where it becomes buried beneath a pale blanket of snow, it should still hold up just fine. Assembly required.
