Smooth Black and White
The previous post, Extreme Black and White, looked at B&W photography using just black and white with no or very few gray tones. In this article we will look at "smooth" black and white, using all or most of the tones available to digital B&W imaging. The images in this post are presented as JPG images with 256 shades of gray. That is enough to make well processed images appear gorgeously smooth and complete. Let's start with a couple of examples.
What the two photos above have in common is smoothly painted surfaces, fine detail, and sharp focus. Than can make very nice B&W photographs.
Fine detail and texture can make photos come alive in B&W as the the next two examples show.
Architecture has always been a favorite subject for black and white photographers. Image manipulation can be especially effective with such buildings and their environment.
Click on any of the images to see then larger.
Landscapes also can be very effective in well-processed black and white, bringing out dramatic skies is a popular effect.
Indeed, black and white can be "smooth" and "gorgeous" with any subject that has a wide range of tones. The trick is "filling the histogram", making sure that there are rich blacks and soft, subtle whites, and a full range of tones in between.
Even flowers, normally a subject strictly for color photography, can look great in B&W.
A smooth b&W photo can make you forget that the color is missing.
Fine portraiture can be specially effective in black and white.
Full tonal range, fine contrast, rich blacks, clean highlights, put those things into a photo and you have a fine image. If you have a compelling subject and draw the viewer into the picture, and you carefully attend to light and exposure, black and white can be smooth and satisfying.

Extreme Black and White
When we talk about black and white photography we really understand it as covering the full range of shades of gray from totally black to fully white. The monitor screen on which you are most likely to read this shows just 256 distinct shades. For this article I am presenting some extremes that cover a much more limited range.
The absolute extreme, of just black and white, is normally called "silhouettes", showing a form totally black or white against an opposite background. My "Bird on a Fence" here is an example of that.
Another genre is "low key", photos that are predominantly black. My "Two Glasses" is of that type. In fact, this is a color photo.
There is much that can be done with "extreme black and white" that fits into and outside these categories. Here are some examples.
As you can see, many of my images here are strongly manipulated to take the image to the "extreme".
And now just a little help here to get you started making silhouettes and similar "extreme black and white" images. Start with a photo that has strong shapes and contrast. The example here uses leaves against the sky. I will use my favorite tool, Photo Gallery, here. Of course, more powerful editing software will allow you much more creative control.
An ideal photo will have a lot off light areas and a lot of dark areas and few middle tones. You can see this in the histogram that shows the tonal values from black to white. There is a "hole" in the middle of the data showing the scarcity of mid-tone values.
The first step is turning the image into a B&W. Photo Gallery has tools for that in the Effects area of the Edit ribbon.
The slider under the histogram can be used to turn this into an "extreme black and white" image. Move the white slider, on the right under the histogram, to the left until all parts of the image that are light in color are now fully white.
Then bring the black slider up to turn what remains black, or mostly so.
If you put the black slider right up and over the white slider you will have a pretty good silhouette. If you stopped short, you have a pretty extreme black and white image.
Some photos lend themselves to being turned into such graphic black and white images, but it is best if you have that idea in mind when taking the picture so you can make sure you have the contrast and strong figures to start with.
Have fun!

Contrast – Color vs. Black-and-White
When it comes to contrast, black-and-white photography has a decided edge. A B&W image can be much more easily manipulated without loosing the "photo-reality". In color photography contrast is much harder to manage. Possibly the toughest color for contrast control is yellow. In part that is because of the way the human vision system works. The highest visual contrast is yellow on black. Seeing contrast within a yellow object, on the other hand, is "delicate" at best.
Let me illustrate with a photo of a buttercup flower. These little blossoms are an intense yellow with a shiny surface almost like glass. Here is a photo as it came right out of the camera (except for cropping):
A pretty enough photo, but it lacks "spark", contrast, in the delicate structures. In fact, it seems quite washed out. The photo shows little of the delicate tiny parts or the structure in the petals.
Working with several tools my most satisfactory image is this (the cropping is a bit tighter also):
This looked better to me, but already there are processing artifacts that will disturb discerning viewers.
Going for a black-and-white image opens the doors of more aggressive manipulation. Here is my version of this little flower in black and white:
Now the emphasis is on the fine detail. The flower, set against the darker background, still feels luminous and bright. A very different presentation altogether. To me, the B&W photo is more the "wall-hanger" than is the color version. What do you think? The image links to a OneDrive folder which also contains a less aggressively processed version – you can compare the two by clicking the back-and-forward arrows.
This B&W image is also a "participant" in Monochrome Madness 2-5 by Leanne Cole.
Leanne does a marvelous job with these weekly collections of black and white photographs by a large group of contributing photographers. Be sure to check this out!

Black and White
When Black and White is Better
There are two types of photography, in my view: Color and Black and White. Of course, there are many more genres of photography in each of those categories and there are other ways of looking at imaging.
Leanne Cole started this topic with a post, Up for Discussion: Images in Monochrome, you can follow the link or see it reblogged a bit farther down. Another photography colleague, Solaner, mentioned one of his posts on this subject, color vs. black and white, which I have also reblogged (scroll down).
There are times when a black and white image can carry your message better than a color version. That can become a lengthy discussion. For this article I want to look at some images that just don't work as well in color. Color can interfere and some color photos are just not worth sharing. I will present some examples here.
We have a favorite pond for afternoon strolls. There are fish and turtles living there and many birds, water birds, song birds, even raptors are frequent visitors. Plants and flowers are inviting subjects for photography. There is one big problem. The water is muddy from the run-offs that feed the pond and algae, pollen and other stuff make the water cloudy and an icky color. A photo of that idyllic Canada goose couple is marred by the unattractive color of the water – in a color photo.
Emphasizing the color more turns it into a complete disaster.
I tried some cropping and a plain black and white conversion. Next a added a very subtle vignette. To me this is a much more effective photo, it tells about the geese, and is not high-jacked by the green water.
My friends know that I rarely leave well enough alone, so I just have to also show you my "café art" version of this image.
That was exhibit one. Now on to the next one. A turtle was sunning itself on the bank. Here is my photo.
Not exactly a prize-winner there. A strong crop, conversion to black and white and again a bit of a vignette and it is much improved, I hope you agree.
Spring is just enveloping Georgia, here in the South of the U.S.A., and I shared a series of spring blossom images. Dandelions fit into that "harbinger of spring" mantra, however hereabouts they bloom year round. I came across a fine seed head in my lawn.
Nothing much to rave about. This called for heavier processing.
The enhanced image tells the story and I was happy enough to share this image. The processing steps included getting a high-pass image on my way to bringing out the fine details of the dandelion seed pappi. That image, of just the sharp contrast transitions, looked inviting. Inviting enough to lead to this café art rendering:
Dandelion fireworks!
Sometimes a black and white image can say more, stir emotions that a "plain" color photo can't. Look for the treasures hiding in your photos.

CooperVision is changing the brand name of CV Encore Toric to Vertex® Toric. While the name is new, the actual packaged lens remains the same. During this transition you may receive either lens, but you can trust that their performance will be identical. If you have astigmatism and want crisp, clear vision with the convenience of a disposable lens, consider Vertex® Toric lenses. Vertex® Toric lenses are manufactured using CooperVision's patented UltraSync technology, a process that produces a perfect edge on every contact lens. This contact lens design provides more stability and less rotation, ensuring that vision and comfort are consistent with each new pair of contact lenses. Vertex Toric lenses are also manufactured with a light blue handling tint, which makes the lenses easier to see when inserting and removing.
Material and % of content: 45% polymer (methafilcon A), 55% water
I ordered CooperVision Encore Toric lenses, but received a box of Vertex Toric contact lenses. What's up with that?
Don't worry, they've simply switched names! In the package/name transition process, you may receive a package of either Vertex Toric lenses or CooperVision Encore Toric lenses; it's a toss-up. But do not be confused, they're the same exact contact lenses! Though the name and the packaging have changed, the actual contact lenses, all-day comfort and freshness have remained the same.
Can I wear my Vertex Toric lenses when I go to sleep?
It really depends. The suggested wearing schedule recommends two different options: 1) remove and sterilize your Vertex Toric lenses daily and then replace them with a fresh pair after two weeks; or 2) wear them for seven consecutive days and then replace them with a new pair. To find out which schedule is right for your eyes, contact your eye doctor.
Will Vertex Toric lenses feel natural in my eye?
Yes they will. Vertex Toric lenses are manufactured using CooperVision's patented UltraSync technology, which produces a finely tuned edge on every single contact. This edge is essential for lens stability, crisp vision and seamless comfort. For a similar toric lens created by CooperVision, check out Biomedics 55 Toric.

NVMUG Meeting
Room 224
Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital
10:00 AM to 12:000 Noon
Got a new Macintosh with Lion or newer? Downloaded and installed Mavericks or Yosemite and the install application is gone now? What do you do if your hard drive fails, to get your operating system running so you can migrate from your backup drive (You are backing up on an external herd drive aren't you?) or Time Machine? At the meeting on April 11, we will be showing how to have operating system available for install from an USB flash drive.
If you are ready to update to Yosemite or have it installed, and you want to be able to have it handy in case of need, swing over to the App Store and download the latest version of it to your computer, using your Apple ID. Bring along an 8GB USB 2.0 or 3.0 flash drive and your downloaded install application, if you have a good decent speed internet connection.
You'll be shown how to make the install USB drive from the Install OS X Mavericks or Install OS X Yosemite application a couple different ways and how to use the drive to do some repair work. Yes, you can use the recovery partition to do the same, and we'll show how do that as well. But, if your drive bit the dust and you can get a quick replacement drive, you can use this USB drive to replace the OS on your hard drive without having to do a lengthy download on your internet connection.
We will also answer questions from the attendees, during times that we wait for images to be made.
Hope to see you there.

With This Pie, Who Needs Coffee?
A creamy, caffeinated dessert that would pass muster with any barista
HOW TO RAISE A PASTRY CHEF? Outlaw sugar and let a sweet rebellion unfold. When Kierin Baldwin was growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y., her granola-pushing mother imposed a ban on candy. Obsessed with the forbidden, Ms. Baldwin would dream up desserts the way other kids might fantasize about scoring the winning goal or kissing the boy with the mischievous grin. After completing the French Culinary Institute's pastry program and doing stints at Manhattan's Café Boulud and A Voce, Ms. Baldwin became the pastry chef at the Dutch, in SoHo, where she quickly became New York's de facto pie maven. Ms. Baldwin's pies are outstanding for the simple reason that she applies professional technique to homespun American classics. The result: that very pie we all remember from childhood, but don't remember being quite this good.
Feeling a little sleepy one recent afternoon, I found myself craving a cappuccino in dessert form, and so I called Ms. Baldwin. I asked her to create a coffee-cream pie with a chocolate crust and an old-fashioned topping of whipped cream. A pie, in other words, worthy of our barista-driven culture, but without the affectation. I also asked that she work in the comforting textures of her beloved banana cream pie, which she makes with a billowing pastry cream instead of the more commonly used custard. Her recipe is terrific—and unquestionably worth the time and effort it takes to pull off.
Like any pastry chef worth her sugar, Ms. Baldwin bakes the chocolate wafers for her crust from scratch, but Oreos work beautifully. The crust and pastry cream can be made a day in advance, leaving you with only the pleasant tasks of whipping the coffee cream and filling the pie on the day you plan to serve it. Spiking the filling with a dark rum deepens the pie's grown-up flavor, while the alternative of nutty Frangelico may inspire you to top the pie with roasted hazelnuts.
A few chocolate shavings are all the garnish this pie needs, although a sprinkling of orange zest would give it color and play well with the chocolate. Be forewarned: This is a caffeinated dessert. That inevitable second helping may have you flying sky high. But isn't that what we love about coffee? And for anyone who disagrees, decaffeinated beans will let you have your pie and sleep too.
—Aleksandra Crapanzano
Kierin Baldwin's Coffee-Cream Pie
Hands-On Time: 1 hour 15 minutes Total Time: 3½ hours Serves: 8 (makes one 9-inch pie)
For the crumb crust:
12 Oreo sandwich cookies
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cocoa nibs
3 tablespoons ground coffee beans
¼ teaspoon fleur de sel (or other medium-grained sea salt)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Nonstick oil spray
What To Do
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Shatter Oreos in a food processor, using pulse button. Add other dry ingredients and pulse again, then add butter and pulse until combined.
3. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with oil spray and pour crust mixture inside. Press mixture down to form an evenly thick, lightly compressed crust.
4. Bake until firm to the touch, 12-14 minutes.
For the coffee-cream filling:
2 cups espresso beans
½ cup plus ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar
½ vanilla bean, split and scraped
3 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 egg plus 1 yolk
1 (3-teaspoon) package unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
¼ teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon fleur de sel (or other medium-grained sea salt)
2 tablespoons dark rum (or Frangelico)
1¾ cups heavy cream
Cocoa nibs, for garnish
Orange zest, for garnish
What To Do
1. Using a food processor or coffee grinder, grind espresso beans into lentil-size pieces. Place grinds in a large bowl.
2. In another bowl, combine ¼ cup sugar with vanilla bean.
3. Place a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. After a few minutes, add a third of vanilla sugar and stir with a heatproof spatula. Allow to melt and just begin to brown. Repeat with remaining vanilla sugar until you've used all the sugar, which will begin to bubble and then smoke as it turns to caramel. Once it smokes, turn off heat. Slowly whisk in milk to dissolve caramel. (Be careful: Caramel can splatter and burn.)
4. Turn heat to medium-high and cook until caramel mixture is just shy of boiling, about 2 minutes. Immediately pour caramel mixture over coffee beans, submerging them. Stir, then let steep for 5 minutes.
5. After 5 minutes, pour mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. You should have about 2 cups coffee caramel milk.
6. Mix ¼ cup sugar with flour and cornstarch in small bowl.
7. Lightly whisk egg and yolk in a large bowl. Add sugar-flour-cornstarch mixture. Whisk until paste forms.
8. Mix 1½ teaspoons gelatin and cold water in small bowl.
9. Return infused milk to a saucepan set over medium-high heat and bring it to a heavy steam. Just as bubbles start to rise to the top, whisk in baking soda. It will bubble quite a lot. Continue to whisk until baking soda is incorporated. Slowly add infused milk to bowl with egg-and-starch mixture, then return it all to the saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and whisk continuously for 2 minutes. Add dissolved gelatin, butter and fleur de sel. Whisk to dissolve. Pass mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass or metal bowl and press plastic wrap over surface of the mixture. Refrigerate until set, or overnight. Once set, beat until loose.
10. Mix remaining gelatin with rum in saucepan. Set over low heat until gelatin has dissolved, about 2 minutes.
11. Pour coffee cream into a mixing bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon sugar and a pinch of salt. Place bowl inside of another bowl filled with ice water.
12. Make whipped cream: Whisk heavy cream until it forms soft, billowy peaks.
13. Pour rum and gelatin into whipped cream. Quickly whisk to incorporate. Fold half of whipped cream into coffee-cream. Pour coffee-cream into chocolate shell and smooth down. Top with remaining whipped cream. Chill for at least 2 hours. Garnish with cocoa nibs and orange zest, if desired.

I had intended to do a very different shot but it didn't work so rather I settled for this instead. A small box of eggs (original shot in mod section), much cloning and then some local colourisation.

great abstract

Very different from the origimal shot taken with loads of thought & colour processing put in. The result I think is outstanding!
I clicked on this simply because the thumbnail told me to.
Very surprised that this only received a few clicks, deserves more IMO.
Nice one Pete

Great idea - wonder if the perspective is not quite square on as the image seems to "lean" a little (only a fraction) left to right. Perhaps the egg box was not quite square on to your camera. Love the idea though wonder if brighter stronger colours would improve impact and I would have maybe avoided symmetry between first and last column of eggs. Nit picky sod - sorry!

Coming across like one of these optical games that plays havoc with the eye sight. A hell of a lot of work Pete, but worth it for originality.
Thanks for the Birthday Wishes appriciated, and yes the music was good.

great looking image pete - the opposing egg colour really stands out well against the others. i'm wondering what the chicks/chickens will look like if the eggs are this range of colours - will make for an interesting site =)
keep up the great work - this was definitely worth the effort put in

IMHO it would have benefited from either a slight crop on the left to mirror the right edge or - preferably - an inclusion of a bit more of the tray on the right to mirror the left edge... (DOes that make sense?)

Written by Cristina Page
Mitt Romney's "close" relative died of an illegal abortion (which is why he used to say he wouldn't force his beliefs on you).
In 1963, Mitt Romney lost a "dear" and "close" relative to an illegal abortion. Ann Keenan was the sister of his brother-in-law, Loren "Larry" Keenan, husband to Mitt's sister, Lynn. By all accounts, her death at age 21 "deeply impacted members of the family." Romney's sister, Jane, explained, "'She was a beautiful, talented young gal we all loved. And [her death] pretty much ruined the parents — [she was] their only daughter. You would do anything not to repeat that." The Keenan family asked for donations to be sent to Planned Parenthood in her name.
Ann Keenan apparently "was very close" to Mitt personally and he, too, appeared moved by the loss explaining, it "obviously makes one see that regardless of one's beliefs about choice, that you would hope it would be safe and legal." During a debate with Senator Ted Kennedy in 1994, Romney pledged, "It is since that time my mother and my family have been committed to the belief that we can believe as we want, but we will not force our beliefs on others on that matter. And you will not see me wavering on that."
But Romney's dear young relative seems to have disappeared from his memory (as has his promise to not waiver.) He no longer "exhumes" her body to serve as proof of his pro-choice credentials as he did routinely when running for governor of Massachusetts. These days, he's promising to overturn Roe v. Wade. Indeed, he seems eager to reinstate those laws that drove his close relative to fatally take matters into her own hands.
Some imply that his pro-choice pledge may have always been a ruse. Ann Coulter explained, "He tricked liberals into voting for him. I like a guy who hoodwinks liberals so easily." Is it possible for a politician to stoop that low — using the tragic death of someone so close for political expediency? (And is it possible that, as Coulter would have it, we, not Romney, are the assholes for expecting more of him?)
The average American isn't able to analyze Romney's double speak on abortion. Last week Romney told the Des Moines Register editorial board, in seeking their endorsement, that "There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda." He appeared to want to calm Iowa voters, suggesting that he wouldn't be a radical pro-lifer. This, though, seems one more instance of electoral quick stepping. Right before the election, he says what he needs to say, dissembling on his plans to reverse Roe, an objective he's repeatedly boasted about. The president doesn't have much role in scaling back abortion on the legislative level, but Romney will act by appointing anti-abortion justices to the Supreme Court.
As a New York Times editorial explained yesterday, "There is every indication that about half the states would make abortion illegal within a year of Roe being struck down, according to the Guttmacher Institute. The Center for Reproductive Rights, which challenges abortion restrictions around the country, puts the number at 30 states." For some context, approximately 400,000 women, mostly mothers, in these states had an abortion in 2006.
So a good question for Romney during this election would be about his beloved Ann Keenan, snuffed out so early, and the lessons her death taught him. And more pointedly, why is he planning to deliver American women to her fate.

Get your abortions.. Pay for it yourself.. Relive 'your choice' every year for the rest of your life.
I agree with Patricia G. AND I think he will say whatever he thinks any specified group wants to hear. I would personally like to hear, "Congratulations President Obama on 4 more years"
I personally think its inappropriate to refer to personal losses in terms of any illegal procedures or medical mishaps as a tool to gain popularity for votes or endorsements. These are not ethical examples as they are of sensitive nature and should not be made public without the person's consent. PERIOD.
Anyone who thinks that women will not seek abortions even if it is illegal, is living in a fantasy world. These women will end up going to back-alley butchers. Keep religion out of the politics. If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one. But don't make everyone suffer because of your beliefs.

500 reasons to vote against Mitt Romney and for Barack Obama
by Georgia Logothetis for Daily Kos
(This didn't go through the first time, hope it's not a double post, but sometimes they never do appear...)
Romney cheats to win, whether in elections or family foot-races, and has no compunctions about even tripping his daughter-in-law, recently delivered of his grandchild, to do it.
We've seen his pathological behaviours, attitudes and actions, ranging from the cruel and callous treatment of his dog to his predatory treatment of the the workers and shareholders in companies Bain purchased and loaded with debt, cutting wages, benefits and jobs as well, to increase his own profits.
This is his mind-set, forms his world-view; this how he thinks and operates; this is what he does.
We know that he plans to do the same to America, and to the world, if he cheats his way into the Presidency.
The odds are that life on Earth as we know it - something a corporate power, Monsanto, together with other petrochemical/GM/nano-tech companies, already plans to eradicate and replace with their patented, variably/inherently toxic/unstable organisms, for temporarily increased profit from a dying world and people - will not survive the unrestrained industrial pollution and eradication of the Earth's natural life support system.
4 years of Republican policy could be the death of us all, even without WW3 started with a view to global corporate conquest, or even just loose cannon Romney starting something just because.
This cannot be allowed to occur.
One more conservative Justice on the Supreme Court and Roe.v.Wade could be struck down.
And there are several Justices who might retire.
If you want to see some of Romney's true character portrayed on video, check out the "Romney Radio Interview" on U Tube.
What an Ass!
It looks like everyone that has answered the poll, so far, has read and understands the 1st Amendment.
Shame that the religious reich has yet to figure it out.

A lot of choices big range of prices,nice view and service ,it is crowded and big.Nice choice for buisness lunches and dinners as well as for families
It is a must. Service is good. Prices are right compered with food quality. Fresh fish but really fresh (the owner said to us that was a morning supply). Wonderfully cooked. We eat everything and everything was suuuuu....perb. Ask the owner for a wonderful experience. Yummy.
Been there in the beginning of May. Fantastic fish restaurant. Wide choice of fresh fish. The owner Ardi, took good care to please our 15 person table in every way. I definitely go back to this restaurant. There is no sea view but prises are honest comparing with the quality.
Very good sea food,good location easy for find,close to sea,not far away from Thessalonica
Ukusna morska hrana.Posetili smo ga na uskrsnje praznike i restoran je radio nasuprot pola zatvorenih restorana u centru soluna.Rucak za dvoje ,oktopod,salata,lignje .... je bio oko 40eu
The food was fresh and just okay! Nothing special for that prices and portion size. Average menu, average service.
Very good greek food,fish just caught from the sea,and that is what you paid for,not frozen and if you ask,not from the fish farm but wild from the deep part of the sea,saganaki,kalamari……and all sea food is fresh and very tasty.Fresh salads-beautiful.Good value for the money
This restaurant locates in a very nice area of Thessaloniki by the seaside! It has great food, all are very tasty and traditionally cooked. Don' t forget to try shrimps saganaki or grilled, and stuffed squid! Just delicious! The service is super efficient too. At the end of the meal they offer dessert as well.
- avarage food with nothing diffrent at taste from other taverns near by, service must know better what they are serving and all the customer must treat the same....
The value for money is bad, occurding the food they offer you because it's standard are low in general order!
Very convenient location in the new part of the city (Kalamaria) on a very busy and noisy street. Service was prompt and efficient, tables well set with linen but what I paid was much higher than expected . Fish is charged at 50 to 150 euros per kg. Food was very tasty but the cost was above usual standards at...
Amazing fish restaurant and on of the best restaurant in the city.
Must try: octopus salad, warm potato salad, oceanis salad as a starter, you can choose fresh fish as a main dish, absolutely delicious. Shrimp saghanaki is amazing!
If you have a hangover from last nights ouzo very tasty fish soup will make your day.

Everything may be fine now with Citi that writedowns are basically over and that it is only fear that has driven the price this far down? My god, this is a buy of a lifetime.
It's true and it's beginning to happen. All the selloff and nonsense that citi is going under has been speculation driven by panic and fear. At this moment, This is a buy of a lifetime. Get in before it's too late.
I do not think that write-downs are over, only LARGE write-downs. But with easier to get money for the banks and brokerages, Visa money, and C looking to sell some assets, the SMALL write-down will be easily absorbed, just like LEH, MS, and GS.If we get good home data next week where the average supply of inventory was reduced all banks will go higher, and it will be a sign to start building a position in homebuilders.Anyone still want to tell be $15 and lower?
was earlier in the week....I am not sure C will sustain this upward momentum. I have a feeling some profits will be taken when the commodities correction is over. C will trade between $19 and $22 until after the 1q earnings announcement. The new trading range will be determined by that. Just my opinion.
i agree 100%

The Yazoo Land Fraud
Connolly, David H., The Journal of Southern Legal History
The Yazoo Land Fraud. By Helen Clark. Louisville, Ga.: Jefferson County Historical Society, c. 2009.
The publication of Helen Clark's 1948 master's thesis on the Yazoo Land Fraud by the Jefferson County Historical Society' is a compliment to the late author and reflects a genuine affection for someone who probably was the historical source for residents of Louisville and Jefferson County, Georgia. Clark's study is a brief account of the Yazoo fraud of 1795 and focuses tightly on the corruption ofland speculators and Georgia legislators, making the study more of a cautionary moral tale than an in-depth study of Georgia history during the Early National period. The quality of her terse study of the Yazoo scandal demonstrates solid analytical skills and insight.
Despite the Yazoo Land Fraud having been one of the biggest scandals of its time, with significant legal, political, and territorial repercussions for Georgia and the nation, it no longer receives much scrutiny or examination in American historiography. Mainly of interest to students of constitutional law and Georgia history, this event either does not appear in recent general U.S. history survey textbooks, or it is enmeshed in the context of another historical event or subject.1' The last detailed scholarly study devoted to the Yazoo Land Fraud and its impact was Peter Magrath's 1966 examination^ of the United States Supreme Court's 1810 decision in Fletcher v. Peck* in which the Marshall Court overturned Georgia's repeal of the sale on constitutional grounds.' The 2009 publication of Clark's master's thesis on the fraud invites historians, members of the legal profession, and those generally interested in Georgia or the Early National period to take another look at this episode.
In 1795 several groups of land speculators formed four separate companies or partnerships and petitioned the Georgia legislature for grants of land in the state's western territory. For a mere pittance, each of the four companies succeeded in acquiring millions of acres of state land in present-day Alabama and Mississippi. Once each land company had extinguished Indian title to the territory, it could be opened for sale and settlement, with a small percentage reserved exclusively for Georgia citizens. Georgia, saddled with an empty treasury and concerned over the stability of its frontier lands, would benefit from the income from the sale as well as the potential revenue and security brought about by the settling of territory held by Native Americans. An increase in the state's population through immigration to the frontier would then foster growth of Georgia's economy and boost its political standing in the new nation. These speculators, whom Clark describes as little better than "sharpers" motivated by greed, assured favorable legislative treatment of their proposals by offering shares or interests in the land to a number of state assemblymen.6 By all accounts, the legislators readily, if not eagerly, accepted the opportunity to participate in the speculation. As Clark reminds us, a number of nationally prominent individuals took part in the episode, including United States Supreme Court Justice James Wilson, along with many prominent Georgians, such as United States District Court Judge Nathaniel Pendleton and James Gunn, United States senator for Georgia.' Gunn, one of the major players in the event, purportedly threatened to whip legislators who hesitated to support the Yazoo legislation. Undoubtedly, the participants in the deal wanted to make a profit.*
This was not the first time the Yazoo lands had generated interest. Clark devotes a chapter of her thesis to the first Yazoo speculation of 1789, in which three companies, the South Carolina Yazoo Company, the Tennessee Company (whose chief organizer, Zachariah Cox, managed to become the assistant clerk of the Georgia House of Representatives), and the Virginia Yazoo Company (whose members included Patrick Henry), sought to purchase portions of the western territory. …

Windows 8.1 Preview comes with lots of improvements, many of which are specifically aimed at end users who are looking for a more familiar working environment.
Letting the Start button and the Start screen customization options aside, Windows 8.1 packs support for the PayPal SDK, which basically allows developers to integrate this particular payment system into a Windows Store app.
Microsoft's Chief Evangelist Steve Guggenheimer revealed during his keynote at the BUILD developer conference that Windows 8.1 makes it easier for developers to promote and monetize their apps.
In addition to the PayPal SDK, the operating system will also include Adobe's Digital Publishing Suite.
"Publishers and brands will be able to design and publish content to devices such as the Microsoft Surface, and designers can use DPS to create all kinds of dynamic and interactive apps," Guggenheimer explained.
At the same time, Unity Pro 4 will finally arrive on Windows 8, and Microsoft promises several exciting tools for developers who embrace the newly updated platform.
"Unity, one of the industry's most popular game development platforms, with a community of 2 million developers, announced commercial support for the Windows Store coming summer 2013. Unity Pro developers will receive a free license to build, and get support for Windows and Windows Phone," the company said.
"In addition, developers with Microsoft Studios publishing agreements will have free access to Unity tools for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, inclusive of support for enhanced Kinect gestures and SmartGlass."
Windows 8.1 is currently available in Preview form, but the RTM version is expected to hit the market later this year. Pundits suggest that Windows 8.1 is set to reach the RTM stage in August, while general availability appears to be scheduled for October.
More details on the official launch date are expected to be provided in the coming months as Microsoft collects feedback on the Preview version to improve the operating system.

DETROIT A specific MicroRNA, a short set of RNA (ribonuclease) sequences, naturally packaged into minute (50 nanometers) lipid containers called exosomes, are released by stem cells after a stroke and contribute to better neurological recovery according to a new animal study by Henry Ford Hospital researchers.
The important role of a specific microRNA transferred from stem cells to brain cells via the exosomes to enhance functional recovery after a stroke was shown in lab rats. This study provides fundamental new insight into how stem cells affect injured tissue and also offers hope for developing novel treatments for stroke and neurological diseases, the leading cause of long-term disability in adult humans.
The study, to be published in the journal Stem Cells, is available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23630198.
Although most stroke victims recover some ability to voluntarily use their hands and other body parts, nearly half are left with weakness on one side of their body, while a substantial number are permanently disabled.
Currently no treatment exists for improving or restoring this lost motor function in stroke patients, mainly because of mysteries about how the brain and nerves repair themselves.
"This study may have solved one of those mysteries by showing how certain stem cells play a role in the brain's ability to heal itself to differing degrees after stroke or other trauma," says study author Michael Chopp, Ph.D., scientific director of the Henry Ford Neuroscience Institute and vice chairman of the department of Neurology at Henry Ford Hospital.
The researchers noted that Henry Ford's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approved all the experimental procedures used in the new study.
The experiment began by isolating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the bone marrow of lab rats. These MS

Girls are like apples...the best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.

Inspiration can come from anywhere, and sometimes it's even conveniently located on the back of a box. For instance, when I was trying to decide what dessert to make for our 4th of July cookout, a box of Hodgson Mill Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix caught my eye. Looking more carefully, I noticed that there's a recipe on the back for chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches. Now, thanks to Hodgson Mill, I had ingredients and an idea for an easy, delicious, summertime treat. Perfect! Read More »
This wonderful cake begins with a box of Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Gingerbread Mix. Not only does the mix give this dessert a more nutritious beginning, it makes things so much easier and faster. The perfect amount of whole-wheat flour, spices, molasses and brown sugar are already measured and need only be mixed with a few other ingredients to get things underway. Peel a few apples, make a little caramel and you will be in dessert heaven before you know it. Gingerbread apple upside-down cake here we come! Read More »

An aloe plant raised at IMS won first place in the Succulent and Cactus division in the CT State Flower Show and also won the Flower Show Award of Merit as a top specimen. Science teacher Kitty Hickox, who entered the plant in the show in February, also took home top awards in the Artisitc Crafts Division for her hand-made creations.
The winning Aloe succotrina was transplanted to the IMS greenhouse by Mike Brown about 10 years ago. Mike said he was nothing more than a steward to the off-shoot that he tended until his retirement last year. Kitty took over the TLC and noted that the plant, known for its healing properties, had the potential to be a winner. "I started preparing the plant to show about six months ago, trimming dead leaves, using tweezers to remove dead bits here and there, and finally cleaning imperfections from the leaves using alcohol swabs," she said.
Kitty protected the blossom from the cold with a paper bag, wheeled it to the curb, and slid it into her station wagon. The plant was then delivered to the Connecticut Convention Center loading dock and placed in the show. "One of the judges commented that it was one of the finest aloe plants they had ever seen," said Kitty. Blossoms on aloe plants, on the East Coast, are extremely unusual. This one was a winner, and the show committee was ecstatic about the entry.
The plant won best in the entire cactus and succulent division, and then it was also awarded a Flower Show Award of Merit, which is given at the judges' discretion, when the winning plant scores a 95 or above and is a specimen of distinction.
Mike Brown was thrilled!
In addition to the horticulture award, Kitty also earned a first, second, and third place award in three classes of the Artistic Crafts Division. Artistic crafts require a designer to create an object based on a predetermined theme, using only dried plant material. T

In light of the anticipated timetable for the acquisition, Pantheon also announced the approval by its board of directors of a resolution extending the time available for it to consummate a "business combination" until September 30, 2009 and a recommendation that the stockholders of Pantheon vote to approve an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to effect this extension. Pantheon has set November 19, 2008 as the record date for the stockholders entitled to vote at its special meeting to be held on December 14, 2008 to approve this resolution and related proposals. Preliminary proxy materials were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, November 7, 2008 in relation to the solicitation of Pantheon's stockholders in connection with the special meeting.
CCBS received its first license in Beijing in 2003 and was the first licensed cord blood banking operator in China. It has subsequently expanded its business to Guangdong province in 2007 and achieved substantial progress thereafter. CCBS is currently the largest cord blood banking operator in China in terms of geographical coverage and is the only market player with two (i.e., Beijing and Guangdong) out of six cord blood bank licenses issued by the PRC government authorities to date. Under the current PRC government regulations, only one licensed cord blood bank operator is permitted to operate in each licensed region.
Mark D. Chen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of
Pantheon, stated, "As the first and only cord blood banking operator who
possesses more than one license in China, CCBS serves the Beijing and
Guangdong markets with over 1.1 million babies per annum. China's large and
growing population combined with the rising interest in cord blood banking
services will continue to drive demand and enhance CCBS's business

Figure S3. Parental similarity versus offspring heterozygosity. When parents choose mates that are similar to self at a given SNP, the result is excessive homozygosity in the children (an excess of homozygous genotypes at that SNP). Conversely, when parents choose mates that are dissimilar to self, the result is excessive heterozygosity in the children. In a simulation, random genotypes for 22,500 SNPs (2,500 with each MAF ϵ(0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45)) were generated for 1,000 sets of parents. At each SNP, the similarity measure (Pearson correlation) was calculated between the vectors of parental genotypes (shown on the y-axis). For each SNP, the genotypic frequencies of the offspring of the 1,000 sets of parents were calculated based on Mendelian inheritance. The observed frequency of heterozygotes in the offspring was divided by the expected frequency of heterozygotes, assuming Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (x-axis). A value higher than 1 on the x-axis means that offspring have a greater than expected frequency of heterozygotes, while a value smaller than 1 on the x-axis means that offspring display excessive homozygosity. These plots show that SNPs which show similarity between parents (high values on the y-axis) are more likely to show excessive homozygosity in the offspring (low values on the x-axis). To extend the concept: if parents select mates that are similar to self at a given SNP, over many generations we expect excessive homozygosity in the general population compared to Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

Women's soccer: FGCU looks to get its pride back in first-round match with UF
FGCU (14-4-2) vs. Florida (16-7-0)
What: NCAA women's soccer tournament first-round game
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Gainesville
Previous meeting: Florida 5, FGCU 0 on Sept. 11
Follow the game: Keep up with the action with a live blog at FGCUathletics.com or go to GatorZone.com for audio and video coverage
The thrill turned into a bit of a chill late Monday afternoon when Florida Gulf Coast University learned its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance, by the women's soccer team, would be at eighth-ranked Florida.
First kick at 7 tonight at James G. Pressly Stadium.
If FGCU advances, the Eagles will face the winner between UCF and Florida International next Friday.
Atlantic Sun regular-season and tournament champ FGCU (14-4-2) played at Florida on Sept. 11, when the Gators kicked around the Eagles 5-0 in front of 957 in the teams' lone meeting. Despite six saves by FGCU senior All-Atlantic Sun goalkeeper Stephanie Powers, five Gators scored, and four of those goals came in the first half. Second-seeded Florida (16-7-0) outshot 15th-seeded FGCU by a preposterous 19-7.
"Looking forward to the opportunity," FGCU coach Jim Blankenship said. "We felt like we didn't play very well. We were intimidated, kind of overwhelmed. Granted, they're very, very good. This opportunity is what we want, a chance to see where we've grown."
Said FGCU senior midfielder Gina Petracco, who scored a goal during FGCU's 2-1 A-Sun semifinal win against North Florida and had the assist during FGCU's 1-0 double-overtime home win against Mercer in the title game on Sunday: "I think we might of come in a little scared and nervous. Once they got the first goal on us, we just kind of got our heads down. They're a very fast team and their thinking on the ball was definitely quicker than us.
"I think now we know how they play and I think we're ready to get our pride back."
All-conference defensive specialist KC Correllus nodded.
"There was a little bit of an intimidation factor up there, the whole big-school scene," Correllus said. "We came out not prepared, and this time I think it's going to be a lot different.
"But they're the whole package, they have it all — size, speed, they pass really well."
It's easy to see why the Eagles were intimidated. Pressly Stadium has been in the top-12 of national attendance each of its 17 years. This season, Florida averaged 2,214 fans, almost double that of its foes.
"Our crowds have been tremendous this year," Florida coach Becky Burleigh said. "The fact that they are so supportive really is a big boost to our team."
In the 17 years of the program Burleigh has built, the Gators have made the NCAA field 15 times, including nine straight seasons. Florida, which went 7-4-0 in Southeastern Conference play this season, won the national title in 1998.
"They've been top-five in the country longer than we've been a program," Blankenship said.
FGCU, 7-1-1 in the A-Sun this season, last year completed four seasons of D-I transition. This is the Eagles' first year of postseason eligibility. So, unlike last weekend, when FGCU was a heavy favorite to win the A-Sun tourney, the Eagles are a huge underdog tonight. They feel they have everything to win and nothing to lose.
"Being an underdog is good in a sense," Petracco said. "We can upset a big team, and I think if we play with heart and determination we really can do that."
Last year, Florida beat A-Sun champ Mercer 4-0 before falling to Duke on penalty kicks in the tournament.
"In the NCAA tournament, it is a different mentality because it is one-and-done," Burleigh said. "Everyone knows that, so it is important to make sure you are paying attention to the details, whether that is set pieces, matching up man-to-man or executing your job under pressure. Those details are what make the difference between wins and losses at this stage of the season."
Although the Eagles have no NCAA tournament experience, they feel the A-Sun title game helped prep them.
"It will be a lot like last Sunday — everything's going to be magnified by the pressure of the event," Blankenship said. "I think we're up for that. The kids are pretty loose.
"This is an unbelievable opportunity for our program and our university. We really have to limit our mistakes, and we're going to have to play our best game of the year. We're capable of doing that."

Police: Man killed in hit and run crashJanuary 16,2014
Man died in
hit and run
ROCHESTER — A local man found lying injured on Route 100 told Vermont State Police before he died that he was hit by a vehicle, prompting a search for a white pickup which was seen speeding away by one of the people who found George Goding.
Goding, 86, was found in the road shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday. Police were told that it appeared Goding had been struck by a vehicle, and he confirmed that information before a medical helicopter airlifted him to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. Goding was pronounced dead at the hospital, police said.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call state police at 234-9933.MORE IN This Just In

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Retired Cardinal Roger Mahony and other top officials of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles maneuvered behind the scenes to shield molester priests, provide damage control for the church and keep parishioners in the dark, according to church personnel files.
The confidential records filed in a lawsuit against the archdiocese disclose how the church handled abuse allegations for decades and also reveal dissent from a top Mahony aide who criticized his superiors for covering up allegations of abuse rather than protecting children.
Notes inked by Cardinal Mahony demonstrate he was disturbed about abuse and sent problem priests for treatment, but there also were lengthy delays or oversights in some cases. Cardinal Mahony received psychological reports on some priests that mentioned the possibility of many other victims, for example, but there is no indication that he or other church leaders investigated further.
"This is all intolerable and unacceptable to me," Cardinal Mahony wrote in 1991 on a file of the Rev. Lynn Caffoe, a priest suspected of locking boys in his room, videotaping their crotches and running up a $100 phone-sex bill while with a boy. Caffoe was sent for therapy and removed from ministry, but Cardinal Mahony didn't move to defrock him until 2004, a decade after the archdiocese lost track of him.
"He is a fugitive from justice," Cardinal Mahony wrote to the Vatican's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who is now Pope Benedict XVI. "A check of the Social Security index discloses no report of his demise, so presumably he is alive somewhere."
Caffoe died in 2009, six years after a newspaper reporter found him working at a homeless mission two blocks from a Salinas elementary school.
Cardinal Mahony was out of town but issued a statement Monday apologizing for his mistakes and saying he had been "naive" about the lasting impacts of abuse. He has since met with 90 abuse victims privately and keeps an index card with each victim's name in his private chapel, where he prays for them daily, he said. The card also includes the name of the molesting priest, "lest I forget that real priests created this appalling harm."
"It remains my daily and fervent prayer that God's grace will flood the heart and soul of each victim, and that their life journey continues forward with ever greater healing," Cardinal Mahony wrote. "I am sorry."
The church's sex abuse policy was evolving, and Cardinal Mahony inherited some of the worst cases from his predecessor when he took over in 1985, J. Michael Hennigan, an archdiocese attorney, said in a separate series of emails. Priests were sent out of state for psychological treatment because they revealed more when their therapists were not required to report child abuse to law enforcement, as they were in California, he said.
At the time, clergy were not mandated sex-abuse reporters, and the church let the victims' families decide whether to contact police, he added.
In at least one case, a priest victimized the children of illegal immigrants and threatened to have them deported if they told, the files show.
The files are attached to a motion seeking punitive damages in a case involving a Mexican priest sent to Los Angeles in 1987 after he was brutally beaten in his parish south of Mexico City.
When parents complained that the Rev. Nicholas Aguilar Rivera molested in Los Angeles, church officials told the priest but waited two days to call police — allowing him to flee to Mexico, court papers allege. At least 26 children told police they were abused during his 10 months in Los Angeles. The now-defrocked priest is believed to be in Mexico and remains a fugitive.
The personnel files of 13 other clerics were attached to the motion to show a cover-up pattern, said attorney Anthony De Marco, who represents the 35-year-old plaintiff. In one instance, a memo to Cardinal Mahony discusses sending a cleric to a therapist who also is an attorney so any incriminating evidence is protected from authorities by lawyer-client privilege. In another instance, archdiocese officials paid a secret salary to a priest exiled to the Philippines after he and six other clerics were accused of having sex with a teen and impregnating her.
The exhibits offer a glimpse at some 30,000 pages to be made public as part of a record-setting $660 million settlement. The archdiocese agreed to give the files to more than 500 victims of priest abuse in 2007, but a lawyer for about 30 of the priests fought to keep records sealed. A judge recently ordered the church to release them without blacking out the names of church higher-ups.

Green Door artist Mike Barlow is the latest local artist to exhibit here in the Low Sizergh Barn tea room.
His paintings and constructions will be on show until the 5th of July, they combine two elements of his earlier work – constructions from found wood and abstract/symbolic painting.
The found material often comes from beaches around Morecambe Bay and the west coast of Scotland as well as the clutter of Mike's studio. Mike says: "my tendency is to avoid the figurative and explicit, following my nose until an image or effect suggest itself.

The Elmbrook School District issued a statement today about a federal appeals court ruling that it violated the Constitution by holding past graduation ceremonies at Elmbrook Church.
Superintendent Mark Hansen said in the statement that while the district is "disappointed" with the ruling, Elmbrook "will continue to use the field house in the future. There is no further need for graduation ceremonies to be held at Elmbrook Church."
Hansen also noted the district is working with legal counsel to determine the next steps in resolving the case.
"Our primary focus as a district has always been to spend our time and resources on educating our students," he said.

I always love dropping into your portfolio, but alas I don't do it often enough due to outside commitments. BUT, I'm so glad that I have with this one. I've only visited Clevedon Pier once and could see the potential. I'd say that you have fulfilled that potential with this dramatic image. There is so much that is good about this, and the wave on the slipway is a proper foot soaker. Love it to bits. Please accept my apologies for not dropping in often enough. I'm the ones who loses out!!!!

Oh this is very nice in mono Bill. Excellent tones and full of drama.
