Rollei IR 400 First Impressions
18 comments
Hi there i have just one question, if the camera you are using can focus through the IR filter, is there any need to expose for the iso settings you mentioned?
Hi Ray –
Thanks for an interesting question.
My initial reaction was that metering through the R72 filter would not work, since the meter is calibrated for visible light vs. infrared light. But this is something that is easy to test, so I ran a quick experiment.
With three of my film bodies (Pentax Mz-S, LX, and Pz-1p) metering through the R72 filter was pretty accurate. With the ISO set to 400, metering through the R72 produced an exposure within ½ stop to metering at ISO 6 with no filter. I imagine that different camera meters vary, so run the same test on your camera. Using the Rollei IR400 with the #25 filter I found exposures at ISO 200 to be optimum, and ISO 3 was acceptable for shooting with the R72 filter. So I can see shooting at ISO 200 and letting the camera just meter through the filter.
But – you probably should test your filter to see how it meters when the R72 is in place.
Regarding auto focus through an IR filter – in shooting digital IR I found that the camera could easily auto focus through the filter. But I also found that it was way off when I looked at the distance scales on the lens. For example, focusing on a very distant point, which should be at infinity for non-IR shooting, would lock in at 7-10 meters with the IR filter in place. I've taken to just focusing in visible light, and then manually adjusting the lens to focus a little bit closer for shooting with the IR filter in place.
If you have a lens with IR focal points on it, test you camera's auto focus to see if it is close. If you don't have a lens iwth IR markings on it, put the IR filter in place and autofocus one a point that should be at infinity. If the lens locks in significantly closer than infinity, the AF is probably not working through the IR filter.
Good luck!
Well Mark I finally managed to develop the roll (rollei 400) last friday. Here are the scanned results (The delay was the scanner actually, just picked it up friday).
Developed the roll in rodinal 1:50, 13.2 minutes, 25 degrees(used the first mixture for a roll of 120). Fixed for about 40 minutes (having problems with ilford rapid fix).
I will admit that defer to your original observation, that the rodinal is grainy, however i was expecting some grain (iso 400) but it also is kind of moody (which i like) will definitely try the hc-110 and dd-x in the future. Picked up some more film last week also along with the ilford sfx, so i will also let you know how that pans out. Will have to defer to my 24-105 no more ultra wides for the moment (not happy).
Anyway sorry for too much detail, but when I posed the question to you last week I was half way through the roll (at iso 400) so I decided to stick with that.
Just some other observations, focussed through the 720nm filter (no post adjustments on the meter, read direct off camera) however focus was set to infinity (IR infinity taken from first shot then set manually except for leaf picture, guessed distance and compensated). Sounds like a lot but easy with an ultra wide lens.
Another thing the I left my camera with film in car 2-3 times got hot (didn't affect film), rewound roll midway through because was changing for another film, put in freezer for 3 weeks came back, shot with cap on to point where I stopped, camera got hot in car again! Unloaded and loaded in daylight, point being, I know it is only my first roll, however I'm really tough on my equipment and materials and I think I more than put it through its paces for during this time and proved that it is more durable than you would think.
Anyway I'm going to try to upload some results now. All shot with eos 1n and 16-35mm, which i dropped sunday night, camera lcd smashed, lens filter ring dented, (can't fit filter on it). Anyway i'll figure something else in this department.
Sorry just figured I can't upload pictures, how do I do this?
Thanks in Advance,
Hi Ray -
Thanks for the update. Sounds like the through the lens metering worked out OK. Do you know what ISO the through the lens metering worked out to be? My ISO 3 - 0.5 seems to be a stop or three slower than most people are shooting this film at.
Unfortunately, I don't have a facility for folks to upload photos here on the blog - if you can put them up on the web someplace else, a link to them would be great. I'd be very interested to see what kind of results you are getting!
Hey Mark check out flickr ray_kinsella, I think I put them in the new york section but they're all marked ir anyway. Some boring shots in there but just wanted to get the roll developed!
Hi Ray -
I enjoyed the IR photo set - you seem to have gotten a pretty decent IR effect in foliage, plus nice black skies and water. Did you use the R72 filter for all?
Hey Mark I left you a comment on your flickr mail regarding the above, did you get it?
Hi Ray - About SFX? I did get it and shot you a reply from my regular mail (I assumed that it was going to the right place…) I'll forward it on to you.
I shot out my last couple of rolls of Rollei yesterday - scanning them now.
Get them posted Mark, I haven't shot any of sfx or rollei for that matter in a long time, I've been swamped at work so haven't been able to commit to any real degree as I would like.
I just got my hands on a large format calumet 4x5 and I know rollei makes a 4x5 negative so should be real good, I'll keep you posted.
Comment from: Gary Wright [Visitor]
If you shot F16 @ 1″ in direct sun, that means you shot at 32iso. The Hoya R72 filter only has a filter factor of 5 stops. If you felt you needed to increase the exposure beyond five stops that is because of Rollei's sensitivity to IR, not how much light the filter is blocking.
This is why we apply ISO ratings to base film in order to avoid confusion.
Kodak is one of the best camera's that gives photos that back in the day look.
Comment from: pauline mack [Visitor]
fantastic shots - once i master b&w infra red I cant see me using anything else for landscapes
Comment from: Garrett Welden [Visitor]
How much of an enlargement were you able to attain before noticing grain?
Garrett - Grain is present in even small prints but does not seem to overshadow the detail in the image until you go beyond 11 x 14 or so. Depends a lot on the exposure.
Comment from: Rick Jack [Visitor]
All the information you've posted is very helpful. I found some of this film in my refrigerator and want to give it a try.
If I understand correctly using a 720nm filter is like shooting at ISO12?
I intend to use a hand held light meter and bracket, so about 1/30 @ f8 is a good starting point in bright sun?
I didn't know the 35mm film had a dye layer, thanks for the heads up. I guess I'll try a piece of the leader in water first. I haven't come across a film with a dye since the 1970's.
I've been shooting IR in digital and miss the film look.
I just wanted to thank you for motivating me.
Comment from: mark [Member]
Hi Rick -
I think that 1/30th at f8 in bright sun - approximately ISO 32 per the sunny 16 rule - would be a good starting point for IR400 and an R72 filter. But, as noted above I needed to use much longer exposure times than expected to get the full IR effect. You might want to try metering through the R72 filter mounted on your camera / lens. I was skeptical of this approach but found that it works well. I wondered if the camera meter was sensitive to IR light, but it worked fine for the camera I was using. Comparing adjusted light meter readings to readings in camera through the R72 would be interesting.
The R72 filter blocks most of the visible light and allows infrared to pass through. Taking a meter reading from visible light and then adjusting it will work if there is a correlation between the visible light and IR light. I don't think that correlation is very tight. IR seems more directional and in experimenting I've noted that simply changing the camera's angle in relation to the sun can have a significant effect on IR light while having little effect on visible light. I sometimes use an IR converted DSLR that relies on a visible light metering system, and see this all the time. The meter reading in camera, based on visible light, changes little between setups, but the results in IR can vary significantly.
So, whatever you do with a handheld meter will be an approximation. Through the lens might be better.
Hope you get some great shots!
Comment from: Nick [Visitor]
I shoot a ton of this stuff. I have a 35mm 100 ft. bulk roll loaded at home and about 75 sheets of 4x5 to go through. Here are some of my images: https://www.flickr.com/photos/analoguefilm/albums/72157666795284664.
I find that adding a circular polarizer to first darken the skies and then adding your IR720/R72 filter will give more dramatic results. I meter at ISO 6 and bracket only in overexposure unless it's a high-contrast scene. Then I'll do one each way.
On 35mm it's possible to see through the lens with the filter on in bright conditions making handheld shooting possible. f/5.6 at 1/30s gives me consistently good results.
For developing I do Rodinal (APH-09 to be precise) 1+50 for 12 minutes. 30 seconds initial agitation then 3 inversion every minute after.

We have something amazing! that you should ask us...NEW Fluorescent night dive!! it will make you go CRAZY!!!!
More news!!! that we are doing!!!! SCUBA DU BECOMES...ECO FRIENDLY !!!
In our attempts at keeping our clients comfortable and hydrated during our excursions, we provide cool bottled water. But recently we have become aware of the staggering waste that we were creating here at Scuba Du with our usage of disposable water bottles. We threw away more than 18,000 water bottles this past year and we are only one dive store out of more than 65 here in Cozumel!
It takes plastic water bottles 450 years to decompose and, even though there are attempts at recycling this waste, they are still finding their way into our environment. This is the environment that we work and play in so we have made a decision to address this and make a change in our business practice to demonstrate a commitment to a healthy environment and reduce our use of disposable plastic products.
Because of this effort, we will no longer be providing disposable water bottles on board our boats, but will provide our guests with a souvenir refillable water bottle upon their arrival that they can fill and refill on the boat during their stay with us and take home their Scuba Du water bottle to continue the effort to reduce waste.
We believe that this is a positive step forward to be responsible for and preserve our beautiful sea and the life that it contains. Thank you for your support!!

This review is from: Logitech Harmony 688 Universal Infrared Advanced Universal Remote (Black)
Pros: It is a good remote, once you plow through the incredibly bad software interface
Cons: If you upgrade or change your system, good luck. You'll need to go back through the tedious non-brand specific programming process all over again. You cannot simply 'change' a TV or player in a setup. Worse, the software logs into logitec servers and logs out while you are doing your large and tedious task losing all of your work. Incredible.
Other Thoughts: For me, the kicker with these guys is that even the options available for each device remote you are trying to match is just a generalized list. One would think that you could at least gain some benefit from this crude logging into a server to do your setup. I hated it and the remote now just sits there waiting for an actual competent code writer to fix their code. Anyone?READ FULL REVIEW

Swiss watchmaker Hublot is catering to a concentrated group of Ferrari owners with its new Big Bang Ferrari watch available exclusively at the Hublot Boutique Beverly Hills, CA.
Isolating the watch to a single location and grafting many Ferrari references onto it adds extra layers of exclusivity that may spur consumers to make the purchase. Partnerships such as this create occasions for unveiling new watches, since a new watch can accompany vehicles designed or events coordinated by the other party.
"Both brands embody the same values when it comes to producing exclusive 'machines,'" said Greg Simonian, president of the Hublot Boutique Beverly Hills, CA.
"Hublot and Ferrari are each committed to performance, exploring new materials and technology in order to advance their respective fields, contemporary design, and customer service," he said.
"And when you look at the cars that our top Hublot collectors drive, you'll see that many of them have already discovered for themselves that Hublot and Ferrari make a good match."
All in the family
The new Big Bang Ferrari Beverly Hills joins a cast of other Ferrari-inspired watches such as Ferrari's official watch and similar Big Bang Ferrari watches.
The watch references Ferrari with many of its features, likely playing to the passion Ferrari drivers have for their vehicles.
Big Bang Ferrari Beverly Hills watch
For example, the Ferrari alloy wheel rims inspired the design of the watch's column wheel. A Ferrari dashboard is recalled with the minute counter.
The automaker's signature horse is on the face of the watch at the nine. The Ferrari logo is engraved on the lower push button.
Hublot even points out that the watch's mechanisms resemble the powerful engine of a racing car.
Hublot's persistent use of Ferrari emblems/references on the watch may appeal to Ferrari drivers looking to cement their loyalty to the brand.
Hublot Beverly Hills Boutique
This partnership between Hublot and Ferrari has yielded other Big Bang watches since its inception last November such as the Big Bang Ferrari Titanium 45mm.
Big Bang Ferrari Magic Gold watch
The watch's exclusive location in Beverly Hills is likely intended to reach the highest concentration of Ferrari owners possible.
"I think the decision to limit the watch to the Beverly Hills location is a clever move that enhances the exclusivity of the new watch," said Ron Kurtz, president of the American Affluence Research Center, Atlanta.
"Beverly Hills has the right cachet and represents an important source market for such a product," he said.
"I'm sure customers and past Hublot clients living in another market will still have the opportunity to buy the watch."
A place for everything
Hublot has previously designed specific products for certain groups of consumers.
For example, Hublot is targeting Miami Heat fans by honoring the team's victory over the San Antonio Spurs in the 2013 National Basketball Association finals with timepieces.
The watches come as an extension of the brand's already established partnership with the Miami Heat through its position as official timekeeper and its brand ambassador, Heat player Dwayne Wade. Linking up with eminent sport figures and teams is an effective way to tap into large segments of prospective consumers and borrow traits that will enhance the brand image (see story).
Similarly, Hublot is feting its new brand ambassador, soccer star Radamel Falcao, through a partnership with a United Nations charity to help impoverished families in Colombia.
The watchmaker and Mr. Falcao will be helping to generate additional aid for his hometown of Grand Lagoon of Santa Marta, Colombia, by donating a portion of the sales from each Classic Fusion Falcao watch to the families in that area. The watchmaker is likely to boost brand exposure in South America and Europe through Mr. Falcao and the charity efforts (see story).
Partnerships should strive to find a nexus where consumers from both parties can share interests.
"It is very appealing for someone who loves both products - Ferrari and Hublot - to have a very collectible timepiece that pays tribute to both brands," Mr. Simonian said.
"With one look at their wrist, they are always reminded of their favorite things," he said.
"They may have to leave their Ferrari with valet, but their Hublot Big Bang Ferrari watch will accompany them into any restaurant, club or meeting."
Final Take

|Problem with making HTTP KeepAlive work
|Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:25:57 GMT
Hi I just setup a tomcat 7 on linux for test. I just used this connection property in server.xml here is out connector <Connector maxKeepAliveRequests=-1 port="7070" protocol="HTTP/1.1" allowTrace="false" connectionTimeout="20000" clientAuth="false" /> , but when we try to connect from a client "Firefox" in my case, "Connection: Keep-Alive" is sent in the Request by Browser but "Connection: Keep-Alive" is not visible in the HTTP Response Headers, which obviously coming from weblogic. I use HTTPFox plugin. So I guess that that config does not work. Something seems to be missing. Any suggestion for making HTTP KeepAlive work in Tomcat? Looking forward to your replies Cheers -- Mehdi Sarmadi

SuSE Disadvantages?
While I've been doing my research on the right Linux distro for myself. I've heard quite a few disadvantages of SuSE (such as limited control over the system, and only though YaST).
Is there anything like that and what are the other disadvantages?
01-18-2005 #2
Re: SuSE Disadvantages?Originally Posted by Tanker
You can use any configuration tool you like in SuSE, it's just easier to use YaST. You can still configure KDE using the KDE Control Center, and you can still install/remove/update your software using other package managers like RPM/Apt/Yum. If someone told you otherwise, they're misinformed.Registered Linux user #270181

Suse 9.2 Boxed DVD and CDs MD5SUMs ?
I am NEW B to linux. Suse 9.2 is first purchased distro, but I bought the "student" version of Suse 9.2 direct from ShopNovell site for my son.
I am disappointed in this software and am wondering if the student version has different CDs from the full priced 9.2 set? Can anyone provide the MD5SUMs for the CDs that come in the Suse 9.2 box set so I can compare.
Too many things are broken.... monitor only comes up in 600 X 800;
mozilla email won't allow you to enter email addresses as the box is too big for the screen and can't be resized. Having difficulty with playing CD music.
Sound works for web sites but not from CD.
Then tried to use Evolution and the font size stays the same when isntructed to change it.
Tried to use YAST to remove software and it isn't removed.
Have reloaded from scratch and still same problems.
Anyway, would like to know the MD5SUM for the 5 CDs in the Suse 9.2 boxed set so I can check mine.
01-19-2005 #4
As a former SuSE user I can only say that while SuSE has made a great effort to develop a wonderful configuration tool like Yast, in no way does SuSE restrict or limit the the user to 'have' to use it. There are plenty of confiuration tools that you can use to fiddle with SuSE and all of them work just fine.

The driver places a cell phone to her ear and backs out. Then a boy driving a Jeep exits the parking lot through the one-way entrance. He doesn't even slow when a scooter approaches and stops short. The scene is at Annapolis High School, but such things can be glimpsed right after dismissal at many county schools. And they wouldn't much sur prise psychologists who say young drivers are more likely to take risks and ignore street signs and speed limits. "I really don't pay attention to the speed limit much, not haphazardly or anything. I just go with the flow," said St. Mary's High School senior Caroline Reiser.

Donald Trump vowed that as president he would move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and scrap the Iran nuclear deal in a speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference on Monday.
In pre-written remarks—a departure from Trump's typically improvisational style—the Republican presidential candidate said that his "number one priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with Iran."
"I'm a deal-maker, and let me tell you this deal is catastrophic for America, for Israel, and for the whole of the Middle East," said Trump. "Iran is the biggest sponsor of terrorism around the world and we will work to dismantle that reach, believe me, believe me."
Trump also said he had "studied this issue in great detail, I would say far greater than anyone," prompting laughs from the audience.
Despite anti-Trump protests outside and a walkout from the auditorium, the candidate's speech was warmly received by the AIPAC crowd. While a handful of audience members appeared to leave before his remarks, the protest was insignificant in a nearly-full venue, which seats about 20,000.
One of the biggest applause lines was Trump's promise to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"We will move the U.S. embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem," said Trump. "I love the people in this room, I love Israel."
Trump was also rewarded with cheers when he took digs at President Obama and Hillary Clinton, whom he called "a total disaster, by the way."
"President Obama's in his final year. Yay," said Trump.
While the speech did not delve into specifics, Trump did lay out a general vision for his policies in the region that fit with standard Republican fare. He said he was opposed to a United Nations negotiated settlement to the Israel-Palestinian conflict and said he would crack down on Iran's global terror network and weapons testing.
"When I'm president, believe me, I will veto any attempt by the UN to impose its will on the Jewish state," said Trump. "It will be vetoed 100 percent."
Trump also said that as president he would invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House "immediately."

ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Scott Mitchell once started 57 games at quarterback for the Detroit Lions. Now, he's trying to regain control of what his body looks like.
Mitchell, who was listed at 240 pounds when he was in the NFL, now weighs 366 pounds and in order to try and lose weight, he has joined the cast of the latest season of The Biggest Loser on NBC.
According to the show's website, the 46-year-old Mitchell now suffers from sleep apnea and a poor diet. It also lists his current career as a bill collector. He had been the head coach at his high school, Springville (Utah) High, but he resigned following the 2011 season.
In his career with the Lions, Mitchell was 27-30 and completed 1049 of 1850 passes for 12,647 yards, 79 touchdowns and 57 interceptions. He also appeared in two playoff games with Detroit.
He isn't the only Lions player on the show as former offensive lineman Damien Woody is also trying to drop weight. The show lists Woody, who is also an ESPN analyst, at 388 pounds.
Woody played for the Lions from 2004 to 2007.
Current and former Lions have been popping up on reality TV a lot, although most of the rest of it has been with Ndamukong Suh, who was on the show "American Muscle," earlier this summer.

Your Money
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
And I'm Melissa Block.
It's that time again: tax season, and for many of you, time to wrestle with that nagging question: Should I do the taxes myself or pay someone else? Here's NPR's Tamara Keith.
TAMARA KEITH: We put out a query on NPR's Facebook page, asking how you decide whether to do your taxes yourself or get professional help. And the response was overwhelming: more than 50 comments in the first two minutes, 850 in all.
For Jane Anstet(ph), turning to an accountant was all about peace of mind.
Ms. JANE ANSTET: I hate taxes. They give me anxiety, and I call it tax anxiety.
KEITH: When she says anxiety, she means it. It all started when Anstet tried using tax software back in 1998.
Ms. ANSTET: Sweat, panic attacks, my heart was beating, wondering, you know, oh, my gosh. What's that's number going to be? And it goes on for hours.
KEITH: The funny thing is, Anstet has a degree in accounting and even passed the CPA exam, but calculating her own financial fate is just too much to handle.
David Falcheck(ph), a writer from Scranton, Pennsylvania, gets great satisfaction from doing them himself.
Mr. DAVID FALCHECK (Writer): This year, I think I really got over the hump, and it took me less time than I thought it was going to take.
KEITH: But there was a time when Falcheck decided his taxes had gotten too complicated to handle on his own.
Mr. FALCHECK: I did pay a CPA to do them, and the next tax season came around, and I looked at them, and I thought, you know what? I already have the blueprint here. I'm going to be doing the same forms. All that's really changing is the numbers that are going on them.
KEITH: Falcheck's been doing them himself ever since. Subash Sunderason(ph) works for a start-up tech firm in the San Francisco Bay Area, and he's been using TurboTax for the last several years. He's had this lingering fear that he's been leaving money on the table. So he decided to get a second look.
Mr. SUBASH SUNDERASON (Tech Firm Employee): I took it into a professional this time, and the good news and the bad news is that there wasn't any such you know, he didn't either goldmine or landmine. So it was pretty much as it was.
KEITH: Jodi Boyce(ph) and her husband do their taxes together on the same date every year. The tradition started several years ago.
Ms. JODI BOYCE: And I was, like, okay. We can do them on Saturday, not even thinking about what the date was, until a friend of mine asked me: What are you doing for Valentine's Day on Saturday? And I'm, like, oh. I'm doing my taxes.
KEITH: After they finish with their 1040-EZ, they go out for a nice dinner. But taxes don't spell romance for everyone. One person who commented said she and her husband turned to an accountant after doing their own taxes caused the ugliest argument in their eight-year relationship.
For Ed Jones, 2009 was the tax year when his life got significantly more complicated. His wife gave birth to their son last January, then Jones lost his job. He went on unemployment, sold some stock to help pay the bills and ultimately formed a new business of his own, which started bringing in income.
Mr. ED JONES: I just thought, you know, I'll just hire a professional.
KEITH: Jones says he could probably go back to doing his own taxes, but plans to use an accountant from here on out, anyway.
Mr. JONES: At some point, especially when you have a baby, time is a precious commodity. To sit down and have four or five hours of uninterrupted time to do your taxes is - you know, there's more important things to do in life.
KEITH: If you think Jones has a complicated tax life, try being a stage performer. We heard from actors and musicians who have to file returns in every state their tours take them, not to mention trying to figure out whether makeup is an acceptable write-off.
A bad experience with a tax preparer prompted Ylan Mui to try and do her own taxes this year.
Ms. YLAN MUI (Business Reporter, Washington Post): I'm a confident, capable woman of the 21st century, and I'm going to do this myself.
KEITH: Mui is a business reporter at The Washington Post and wrote up her experience for the paper. Let's just say when it comes to doing her taxes, confident and capable only go so far.
Ms. MUI: Five hours after messing with TurboTax later, I realized that I actually was not capable of doing this myself, and I needed help.
KEITH: Her taxes are pretty complicated. Mui and her husband have two rental properties and own their home. After answering all of the program's questions, it said she owed more than $5,000 to the IRS.
Ms. MUI: I said to myself, you know, if I really owe this much money, I want to hear it from a person, not a computer.
KEITH: So, she went to a CPA.
Ms. MUI: And she found within the first, really, 15 minutes that, actually, I was getting close to a $5,000 refund instead of paying $5,000.
KEITH: Mui had forgotten to enter the mortgage interest on her home. Whoops. So, should you hire a professional? It all depends on how complicated your financial life has gotten and whether you trust yourself to get it right. According to the IRS, about 60 percent of taxpayers hire someone.

Back in 2007, Mary Elizabeth Winstead was cast as Bruce Willis' daughter Lucy McClane in Len Wiseman's "Live Free or Die Hard" and while fans of the actress may have wanted her to return for the fifth installment, well, you're out of luck. In an interview with The Playlist, Winstead herself says she doubts she'll be back as the feisty McClane daughter.
"I'm assuming I will not be [in that] because I have not heard anything," Winstead laughs. "But it's cool, all the updates and everything. I'm excited to see what happens with it."
Two days ago, Winstead also spilled some "Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter" details and in the latest interview with Playlist, she reveals some more details about her take on Mary Todd Lincoln and the film:
"When it starts out, we're very young and just dating and courting and it takes it right up to the presidency and the assassination and everything. So I got to span the life of someone from 19 to 46 and really go from this feisty young woman into this sort of force of nature who's helping her husband fight along with the country. It was a really fun role to play."
Aside from the vampires of course, 'Lincoln' will be a largely historically accurate telling of the president's life. "It's our real history of America [as if] we really did have vampires amongst us. Abraham Lincoln, during his presidency and fights against slavery, was also fighting against these vampires and the evil that was existing in our country. It's sort of this wild action/adventure period piece," she added.
Hit up The Playlist's link where Winstead discusses about her upcoming film "Smashed" with "Breaking Bad's" Aaron Paul and about another project she was rumored to be in, "The F-Word" opposite Casey Affleck.

Despite slowing growth rates after the market's initial growth spurt, the increase in 3D printer shipments over the next four years will see the number of units shipped in 2020 total more than 6.7 million.
"Once a niche market, 3D printing has continued its rapid transformation into a broad-based mainstream technology embraced by consumers and enterprises around the world," said Pete Basiliere, research vice president at Gartner (www.gartner.com). "The evolution of hardware and software along with an ever-expanding collection of usable materials has driven growth in both the consumer and enterprise 3D printing markets."
3D printing is now experiencing widespread acceptance beyond its application in specialist industries. Today, 3D printing is...| Read more »

Tullett Falls as Revenue Drops Amid 'Challenging' ConditionsSarah Jones
Tullett Prebon Plc tumbled the most in four months in London trading after the inter-dealer broker reported a drop in sales, citing a "challenging" market.
Revenue fell 9 percent to 252 million pounds ($406 million) in the four months to October and 5 percent this year as activity in the financial markets "remained subdued," the company said in a statement today. The shares fell as much as 7.8 percent.
"It is difficult to see any good news for Tullett" in the short term, James Hamilton, a London-based analyst at Numis Corp., said in a note to clients today. "We believe the banks will continue to reduce trading activities and restrict the growth of their balance sheets. The direction of travel for regulation is also unhelpful."
Inter-dealer brokers such as Tullett and ICAP Plc act as a go-between for banks that trade bonds, stocks, currencies, energy and derivatives and typically handle more trades during periods of greater market volatility. Profits have been squeezed as regulators push more trading onto exchanges and financial markets struggle to shake off the euro area's debt crisis.
The stock fell 3.3 percent to 307.4 pence at the close in London, trimming its gain this year to 22 percent. Competitor ICAP has also gained 22 percent.
Tullett, which said its financial position "remains strong," has also been hurt by mounting costs from legal action against competitor BGC Partners Inc. and former employees. The company disclosed a further 3.5 million pounds in legal fees since the end of June, taking the total cost so far this year to 13.8 million pounds, according to the statement.

Safeguarding Children Training Level 2
Croydon Voluntary Action
Friday, 11 November 2016 from 09:30 to 14:30 (GMT)
Event Details
Working with children who are subject to Child Protection Plans
Working with children who are 'at risk of significant harm' and have allocated social workers can be complex and demanding. This course looks closely at caring for children who are subject to child protection procedures and focuses on the essential skills required to successfully collaborate and engage with children and their families in an attempt to encourage partnership working and multi-agency decision making. The programme includes an examination of the child protection case conference process (using the strengthening families' model) and equips delegates with the skills required to actively participate in discussions and planning for children. Learners have an opportunity to explore what makes a good child protection conference report and best practice strategies to be used when working with children who are the subject of Child Protection plans, their families and other agencies that form the team around the child. This course is essential for professionals who have limited experience of attending and contributing to multi agency meetings.
Learning objectives
* Have an appreciation of the skills, roles and tasks of other professionals involved in working with children and their families
* Developed their knowledge, skills and the ability to work together on the processes for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, including those suffering or at risk of suffering significant harm
* Receive an opportunity to meet with colleagues from different agencies to learn together and explore professional dilemmas
* Understand the principles of the "Strengthening Families" model to CP conferences
* Understand the process and practice of the model and the format for the new style conference.
All safeguarding children training courses are interactive and use a variety of training methods eg case studies, dvds, small and large group discussions and exercises to enhance the participants learning experience.
Each delegate will receive a certificate of attendance and a comprehensive hand-out
Trainer: Susan Taylor, Tailor Made Solutions

About Emilie & Puttylike | About the Puttylike Team
Hi, I'm Emilie. Thanks for swinging by my digital home.
I don't like labels, but if I had to describe myself, I'd probably use some combination of artist, entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and coach.
I also play a few different instruments, I'm taking a chemistry class, and I occasionally design a website or two.
But all of this could change tomorrow.
That's why I don't like labels. Because I am not one thing. Chances are that if you're here, you aren't one thing either.
"Multipotentialite" is the Only Accurate Label for Me
The only constant in my life is shape-shifting, exploration and evolution. I went from being a serious musician and songwriter to a web designer, filmmaker, writer, and law student (I graduated from the Faculty of Law at McGill University in 2010). After that, I became interested in entrepreneurship, launched a business, became a coach, and wrote a book.
All of these pursuits were personal choices that I made out of genuine interest. Even law began as a fascination. My aim was not to become a lawyer, but to simply explore this new interest of mine.
There's something that draws me to each of my interests and it's not "excellence." I have no interest in committing to one thing forever. Once I no longer feel inspired in a field, I simply move on. Some people call this "quitting," I call it growth.
This is how I've always lived– moving from interest to interest, building on my skills in different areas, and synthesizing the knowledge I acquire along the way.
I currently live in a Boler trailer in Portland, OR with my schnauzer, Grendel.
My Vision for the Puttylike Community
In September 2010, I launched Puttylike as a way of bringing together the multipotentialite community. I wanted to share the tools and resources I'd learned, which allow me to integrate all of my interests into my life– everything from productivity techniques to confidence building, dealing with naysayers, building a business around your passions, and designing a real life that matches your ideal life.
I want multipotentialites to stop beating themselves up about being unable to find their "one true calling" or fit into a box. I want them to see that their diverse background and insatiable curiosity isn't some huge failing, but that there's a very good reason for it…
Not only is your multipotentiality not a curse, but you can actually use it as fuel for your life and income. Once you stop fighting your scanner nature and embrace it, you'll find yourself working on projects that are deeply meaningful. You'll feel a sense of purpose that you never thought possible.
Multipotentialites Have a Responsibility to Innovate
Steve Jobs once defined creativity as "connecting things," and said that sadly, most people don't have enough dots to connect because they haven't had many diverse experiences. (Check out the whole quote, it's great.)
Innovation happens when you take knowledge from one field and use it to solve a problem in a completely unrelated field.
To stifle your puttylike nature is a crime, not just in terms of limiting your own potential, but to society as a whole. As multipotentialites, we must use our gift to innovate. It's in our genes.
Innovation is the reason you've been blessed with this trait, and it's what you've been called on to do. Never forget that.
Your pal and fellow multipotentialite,
p.s. You can find me on Twitter @emiliewapnick and Facebook. I love connecting with other amazing multipods, so don't hesitate to say hi.
Get The Overarching Theme Kit
Download the quick-start kit that will help you combine your many interests in one business plus get weekly Puttylike emails to help you thrive as a multipotentialite.

The Osprey Aether 70 strikes an excellent balance between weight and load-bearing performance. Ideal for multi-day backpacking trips, the Aether 70 offers 4000+ cubic inches of storage capacity and comfortably carries up to 60 pounds!
Capable of hauling heavier loads with an interchangeable and custom fit suspension system, the Osprey Aether 70 is a great option for week long backpacking adventures. Let's take a look at some of its features.
Starting with the suspension system, I will turn the pack around and take a look at what we have got going on here. We are using Osprey's Isoform Suspension System. It is a well padded, well ventilated suspension system that offers a lot of customization. So the shoulder straps or the harness and the hip belt can both be completely removed from this pack and you can pick the parts that you want to use. So if you have different sizing going on, you know, if you need a larger hip belt or a smaller hip belt you can certainly do that with this suspension system. So you have got really cool, interchangeable pieces here.
The parts on the Isoform Suspension System are very well padded and breathable. You have got nice spacer mesh on the back here and the mesh throughout the back panel so you have got really good breathability and there is kind of a foam ridged paneling there to provide some extra air flow. So it is Osprey's Airscape Suspension System with the Isoform components, very nice pieces there. And you can swap them out so you can get different component sizes depending on your shape, so nice system overall in the suspension system of the Aether 70.
Turning the pack back around we have got a few different ways to access the contents of this backpack. It is a traditional top loading or hooded backpack, so you have got the top hood here that opens up to allow you to access this through a nice big spindrift collar at the top. It opens up with this draw cord here and you can access all the items atop very easily. And it does extend a little bit higher, so if you need to over pack the bag you can certainly do so, but if you just pack it relatively tight, you can cinch that spindrift collar down and have a nice easy pack size.
There is another access point, actually, on the front of this backpack. So if I do away with these compression straps here we have a nice J shaped zipper on the front of the backpack. So you have got access from the front without ever having to take that hood off. So you can easily get into all of the contents of the bag all the way down to that sleeping bag compartment directly from the front of the pack. So if you don't like to keep on accessing things from the top, you can lay the pack down and access it from this J shaped zipper, a nice addition there. It makes it a lot more easy to access your contents.
We do also have a sleeping bag compartment at the bottom of the backpack. So down towards the bottom we have got these, you know, sleeping pad straps there that you can snap away. And you have a nice, sizable sleeping bag compartment down at the bottom. So you can stow your sleeping bag there or any other items that you may want to keep quick access to. And there is a divider for the main pack bag and the sleeping bag compartment and you can drop that or kind of remove the straps and allow for one continuous bag rather than two separated compartments. So you have got a really nice system down in the sleeping bag compartment of the backpack.
Taking a look at some of the other pockets on the backpack, we have got two stretch mesh pockets on the sides. So they are kind of oversized pockets on either side of the pack. There is a nice water bottle pocket there. And the cool thing about these pockets is you can actually put the water bottle in traditionally like I have it here, or you can have it in the angled portion to make it a little easier to access while you are actually carrying the bag. So it is kind of angled so you can just reach bag, grab the bottle, take a drink and stow it back away in here without awkwardly having to reach into the backpack. So nice system with the pockets there.
And we do have some inside out compression with those pockets. So you can see here I have got the compression strap kind of routed underneath the pocket. It makes it nice and streamlined and simple, but if I spin it to the other side, I have got the compression on the outside. So my trekking poles here are nice lashed down with that inside out compression on the outside of that pocket, so really nice stretch mesh pockets with inside out compression.
We do have two hip belt pockets, simple zippered hip belt pockets down on either side. So you have got a really nice system there. It provides some weather resistance on those pockets, not waterproof, but they will protect your gear.
On the hood we do have kind of just one big pocket. On the back here we have got a nice zippered pocket, so you can easily store some things in there: books, maps. I have got a water filter in there. You have got really easy access to lots of items on the hood of the backpack. And a neat feature about that is that it will completely remove and it also acts as a lumbar pack. So under this kind of grey panel on the underside you have actually got straps that have a buckle in them and you can remove that hood and use it as a lumbar pack or day hikes if you set up base camp and you just want to go explore some peaks or make a summit bit. You have got a nice detachable daypack there, so nice benefit.
On the front we have a stretchy mesh pocket. So it is kind of just a shove it pocket. You have got a clip at the top here that clips down, but nice sizable stretchy pocket. I have just got a rain shell in there. It extends the front portion of the backpack. It has got nice easy access pocket on the front of the bag.
Some of the other features on this bag include a hydration compatible system. So back around to the back side, we have got this little H20 tab here and a buckle. So there is actually a compartment separated. It is like a sleeve here with a clip at the top to hang your hydration bag. You can slide that in there and route the hose down along one of the shoulder straps. So hydration is not included. You know you have got to buy the actual bladder separately. But it is compatible with this backpack.
Durable haul loop there for carrying the bag so that is a nice sturdy handle. Around to the front we have got a few other things going on. You have got two tool loops and bungee tie offs so you can put some ice tools, ice axes, trekking poles, whichever you want to stow there. You have got removable sleeping pad straps at the bottom that double as compression straps. So you can lash your sleeping pad down here and if you choose not to use that, you can just remove that strap there, keep it a little more streamlined.
We do have some nice compression on the front here as well. So you have got a really nice kind of straight jacket compression style to really cinch down the gear if you need to. And for those times when you are carrying a smaller load, you kind of got some curious little clips on the top here and on the bottom down here. Those compression straps can actually extend all the way around and clip into those to cinch down a smaller capacity load if you are not carrying all your gear with you. So it is a nice additional feature with the compression and the compressibility of this backpack.
And there you have it. It is the Osprey Aether 70. It is a great option with customizable components for those week long backpacking adventures.
