Get Abs Quick
Secrets to a Six Pack
From Gut to WashboardIt's everywhere. If you have a shredded stomach or those six pack abs then you are automatically viewed as being in shape' or deemed a fitness guru'. But, having a strong, shredded stomach is much more than that.
Brently Rousset demonstrates a 10 minute ab workout using these potent oblique exercises.Many of these shortcut articles don't discuss how having a strong core goes beyond the ability to pop your shirt off for a photo shoot at any hour of the day. Having a strong core means having a strong body. Being able to stabilize yourself while standing to perform a barbell curl or shoulder raise requires you to activate your core. Being able to complete a strong deadlift or strong squat requires a strong core.
Also, when many of us imagine those shredded abs we only picture the upper and lower abs. We focus on the rectus abdominus area of our body because that's what produces that "six-pack." We tend to forget about our oblique muscles, which run up and down the sides of our mid-section.
Working your obliques is just as important as doing upper and lower ab work because your obliques serve as stabilizers for your body. Your obliques are engaged in most compound lifting movements and help stabilize your body in most physical activity you do every day.
Incorporating oblique training into your training scheme can help you strengthen your overall body and performance in both lifting and sports, depending on your goals. Stronger obliques can assist you in reaching a stronger squat or perfecting that golf swing you've been working on.
These 10 oblique-focused exercises are great for hitting your oblique muscles at different angles, speeds, and intensities. Incorporating any of these exercises into your normal ab routine or at the end of a hard workout will give you the strong and shredded obliques you desire.
10 Oblique Exercises for a Killer Ab Workout
#1 - Elbow to Knee Mountain ClimbersSimilar to a regular mountain climber ab and oblique exercise, get in a push-up position.
With a normal mountain climber movement you would move your legs up and back into your chest one at a time. With this movement, you are going to twist your core slightly to the left and right when bringing your leg up.
You want to try and bring your right knee up to your left elbow and vice versa.
#2 - Side PlanksLie on your side with one foot on top of the other and push yourself up so your body resembles a right triangle, with your body being supported by your forearm on the ground at a 90 degree angle. You can put your other arm down at your side or raise it up and point it in the air to make the exercise more difficult.
Hold the position for 30-45 seconds, keeping your core flexed and tight while holding this position. Repeat on the other side.
#3 - Russian TwistsSit down on a mat with your legs together straight out in front of you and your upper body straight up at a 90 degree angle. Now, bend your legs slightly up at the hip and knee. Lean your body back so that your feet are slightly off the ground and your back is at about a 75 degree angle.
Put your hands together in the middle of your body close to your chest and move your upper torso to the left and down, touching the ground with your grasped hands. Move your hands and upper body from the ground up and over to the right side of your body; that's one rep. You want to try and keep your lower body as stabilized as possible as you twist your upper body to the left and right.
For added resistance you can perform this oblique exercise with a light dumbbell or medicine ball.
#4 - Decline Oblique CrunchesJust as you would use a decline bench for traditional decline crunches, set the bench at a high decline, lock your feet in, and put your hands behind your head. When coming up, turn your torso to the left or right, trying to touch your elbow to your knee.
On the negative movement when lowering back down don't lower yourself all the way down. Lower yourself about 70% of the way down, keeping that constant tension on your abdominal region.
#5 - Hanging Oblique Leg RaisesHanging oblique leg raises is a killer oblique exercise, but can be difficult to perform. I recommend performing these while using the hanging bar straps so you can lock your arms and elbows in and focus on the movement with this exercise.
Using a pull-up bar hook up your straps and lock yourself in. Raise your knees up, keeping them together, towards your chest and to the left or right as if you were trying to bring your right knee to your left armpit. Lower your legs down slowly and repeat on the other side.
The elbow to knee crunch is an excellent oblique exercise for building core strength and definition.
#6 - Standing Cable LiftUsing a cable machine, set the cable machine at its lowest setting so the handle is touching the ground and set the machine to a light weight (between 10-20 lbs). With your body perpendicular to the machine, your shoulder facing the machine, pick up one handle with both hands, holding it at your side with your torso twisted towards the machine.
Keeping your lower body stable and your core right, turn your torso the opposite direction, pulling the cable up and out. Move your body back to starting position, keeping your core tight and obliques engaged.
#7 - One arm Cable Side BendsAnother cable machine oblique movement, this movement is going to add some weight to your oblique repertoire. Set the cable machine to a high setting with your body perpendicular to the machine, similar to the standing cable lift.
Grab the handle with one hand above your shoulder, with your hand near ear level. Now, crunch down to your side, trying to bring your elbow down to your hip. Focus on the squeezing motion when pulling the weight down to your side and raise your upper body back to a straight up position slowly and repeat.
#8 - Medicine Ball ThrowThis oblique targeting exercise is a great exercise to really get you sweating and your heart rate up.
While holding a medicine ball, stand next to a wall with your shoulder facing the wall. Twist your torso quickly, tossing the ball against the wall and catch it as it bounces back. If you are unable to catch the ball on the bounce back then stand closer to the wall.
#9 - Elbow to Knee CrunchLay down on a mat flat on your back, putting your right hand behind your head and your left hand on your stomach. Keeping your right leg straight down, bend your left leg up and in as if you were performing a crunch. At the same time, bring your right elbow up, with a slight twist, touching your right elbow to your left knee.
Repeat with your left hand and right leg.
#10 - Seated Barbell TwistGrab a straight bar curl bar or straight barbell and place it behind your neck on your shoulders as if you were performing a squat. Sit down on a bench and twist your torso to the left, breathing out with the movement and keeping your abs tight. Turn back to the starting position, breathing in, and repeat to the right side, breathing out.
This is a great exercise for targeting the lower oblique's and creating that desired V-taper.
Oblique Exercises to Transform Your Abs and CoreIncorporating a combination of 3 or 4 of these oblique exercises within your normal weight training or ab training is a great way to make sure you are training your entire core, and not just training your upper or lower abs.
Having a set of strong obliques is not only going to give you a stronger looking stomach aesthetically, it's also going to improve and strengthen many of your everyday lifting movements. Training each part of your body evenly and with the same focus, intensity, and dedication is how you build a strong, powerful physique.

Do you have a Colortran Viewpoint Control System controlling your Colortran ENR Dimmer Rack Lighting System? If you do, then your Colortran Viewpoint Control System is only as good as the battery (Lithium 3vdc), electricity, and/or a DOS Based Computer program for holding the progamming of your system.
The Colortran Viewpoint Control System can also be called the Leviton Viewpoint Control System and/or the NSI Viewpoint Control System.
What is the Colortran Viewpoint Control System? The Colortran Viewpoint Control System is an architectural lighting control system, which can control the Colortran ENR Dimmer Rack, as well as many other Dimmer Racks. The Viewpoint Control System can have input from Control Stations (LCD, LED, and Entry Stations), Time Schedules, and a Lighting Console through CMX (Colortran Multiplex) or DMX (Digital Multiplex). Three separate input sources, which all merge together in a highest take precedence basis (HTP) to control the dimmers and/or relays in the lighting control system.
When the Viewpoint Control System was originally commissioned by a technician, the technician would have used a DOS based Computer (Windows 95 or 98) to program the Dimmer (quantity), Load Types (dimming, non-dim, and the such), Control Stations (types and quantities), Presets, Time Schedules, and additional items. This information was then sent to the Expanded Viewpoint Control Module, which processes all of this information (think a small computer) and turns on and off the lights to the appropriate levels.
The Expanded Viewpoint Control Module would then hold the programming of the system in place as long as the electricity flowed to the control module. If the electricity failed to the Expanded Viewpoint Control Module, then the Lithium Battery (3 Vdc) would then hold the programming in the system, until the electricity was restored to the system.
However, if the battery failed (below 3vdc) and the electricity went out, then the only way to get the programming back into the system was with the DOS based computer. Although, we (Knight Sound & Lighting Inc) have several Windows 95/98 computers for this very purpose, most people do not.
Hence, we need a better way to restore the programming of the Expanded Viewpoint Control Module. There is a better way! We have the Colortran EEprom Memory Card, which is a very fast and convenient way to reload the programming of the Viewpoint Control System in less than 1 second!
The Colortran EEprom Memory Card is installed in the memory card slot and is "written" when everything is GOOD with the system. This process takes about 5 minutes to write the configuration. The EEprom Memory Card can then be removed and stored in a safe place (some people leave it in the Memory Card Slot).
When the system loses the programming of the Viewpoint Control System through power loss, battery failure, and/or corrupt configuration; simply install the EEprom Memory Card in the Memory Slot and press "Read" Card. The memory is reloaded into the system within 1 second and you are up and running again.
An important note is that the EEprom memory card contains all of the information, but can only hold one (1) set of programming information. If you want different presets for different occassions, you will need to have two (2) EEprom Memory Cards for the two different sets of presets.
The EEprom Memory Cards are very resilient and last for a very long time, because they are "burned" memory. This is a very stable form of memory storage and works very well.
At this time, Knight Sound & Lighting Inc offers the Colortran EEprom Memory Cards on our website store at http://www.goknight.com. In addition, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 866-457-5937 and/or via e-mail at email@example.com.

Giant prehistoric geese once flew over BritainSeptember 27th, 2008 - 2:24 pm ICT by ANI
London, September 27 (ANI): Scientists have discovered one of the best-preserved Dasornis fossil skulls buried in clay on the Isle of Sheppey, an island off the northern coast of Kent, England, which suggests that giant prehistoric geese, that were the size of a small aircraft, once flew over Britain.
According to a report in the Telegraph, Dasornis, which had a 16 feet wingspan and sharp teeth, lived 50 million years ago and was related to present-day ducks and geese.
Once, it skimmed the waters that covered what is now London, Essex and Kent, snapping up fish and squid with its bony-toothed beak.
Dasornis was in many ways similar to the modern albatross, which has the largest wingspan of any living bird, but research has shown that its closest cousins are ducks and geese.
Dr Gerald Mayr, from the Senckenberg Research Institute in Frankfurt, Germany, who described the find in the journal Palaeontology, said, Imagine a bird like an ocean-going goose, almost the size of a small plane.
By todays standards, these were pretty bizarre animals, but perhaps the strangest thing about them is that they had sharp, tooth-like projections along the cutting edges of the beak, he added.
According to Dr Mayr, no living birds have true teeth made of enamel and dentine because their distant ancestors did away with them more than 100 million years ago, probably to save weight and make flying easier.
But the bony-toothed birds, like Dasornis, are unique among birds in that they reinvented tooth-like structures by evolving these bony spikes, he added.
These birds probably skimmed across the surface of the sea, snapping up fish and squid on the wing, said Dr Mayr.
With only an ordinary beak these would have been difficult to keep hold of, and the pseudo-teeth evolved to prevent meals slipping away, he added.
The fossil is in a collection at the Karlsruhe Natural History Museum, Germany. (ANI)

Feature your art or art event on the Post Defiance site background
Post Defiance loves Tacoma art and its galleries and has been looking for the right way to feature it on the site for a while now. We think this concept might just work.
In 2015 we are debuting the Tacoma artist/gallery series on our Site Background. Your art, or the art featured in a local gallery show, would be the featured background of Post Defiance. This placement is the largest and most visible option comprising static background sidebars on every page of the site. This placement works best when viewed on a desktop, laptop, or tablet. Although visible on our mobile view, it is not as prominent on a phone as the "home page banner."
This opportunity is complimentary; you will not be charged any fee to apply or to be featured on the site.
Art File & Site Inclusion Proposal Requirements:
Featured imagery cannot contain any directional words – it may include wording that is part of the art, and/or the name of the artist/gallery, but may not contain specific dates or contact information. All additional information will be available in the "featured art" page.
Submissions are accepted year-round but please take into account that the calendar will be filled out as applications are accepted. Submission by the first or second quarter of the year will give you better opportunity for site inclusion. Artwork submitted will be curated by the Post Defiance; submission of a proposal does not guarantee placement.
Please include the following information in the message body of an email, attach the artwork and additional images to the email, and send to email@example.com.
|1. BIO: Include a short 50-200 word biography of you/your gallery/the exhibition; include all relevant contact information, URL, hours, etc.
|2. 3-5 ADDITIONAL IMAGES representative of your work
|3. TIMELINE: share your preferred week/month that you would like to be featured on the site. You may reserve the art space for 1-4 weeks.
|ARTWORK ATTACHMENT: 2 panels at 1920×1080 pixels each (1 left side, 1 right side) in one image file; the space in between the imagery should be approximately 960 pixels (that's the size of the blog content container so any imagery in the middle will not be visible; you may also just repeat the 2 panel imagery throughout the whole image, just know it won't be visible).PNG, JPG, or GIF file. RGB color format, 72-96 dpi.
Image must be smaller than 10 MB. Your image must fit the size suggested and you should take into account the top, bottom, and sides can cut off some of the imagery.
For example, we have featured a vintage Tacoma postcard on our background and the image is formatted like so. We are admittedly not graphic design experts so if you happen to know of a better way to format site backgrounds, please let us know!

The LM358 series consist of two independent, high-gain frequency-compensated operational amplifiers designed to operate from a single
supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split supplies also is possible if the difference between the two supplies is 3 V to 32 V.
Applications include transducer amplifiers, dc amplification blocks, and all the conventional operational
amplifier circuits that now can be implemented more easily in single-supply-voltage systems.

Commercial and industrial electricity users had ample reason to cheer electricity and natural gas prices in 2015.

Bismarck Alley Art
Help make it happen
A unique partnership has developed to create public art in Bismarck. Dakota West Arts Council, a local non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, and a six-member volunteer group of the 2016 Bismarck-Mandan Chamber of Commerce Leadership Program have teamed-up to create Alley 5.5 -- an outdoor gallery of art.
The team hopes that the community will join them by investing not only in Alley 5.5 but the Bismarck Alley Art Program in general. With your support, Bismarck Alley Art will help create public art in many of our alleys. It will light up our downtown, spark conversation and provide a backdrop for special events, photos and more for years to come.
Funds raised will pay for artist talent, paint, brushes, other artistic applications, maintenance and hopefully future Bismarck Alley Art projects. It's estimated that up to 25 artists could be involved with the colorful transformation of Alley 5.5 located downtown on 5th Street halfway between Broadway and Main Avenues.
This public art project is a partnership between the Dakota West Arts Council, a 2016 Leadership Bismarck Mandan Project Team and the community of Bismarck. The purpose is to foster ongoing efforts to create public art in North Dakota's Capital City, Bismarck, and therefore creating a sense of place and building a stronger, more connected community. This project has permitted a limited number of artists to paint artwork on the walls of a downtown alley.
AlleyArt is made possible by the generosity of the following sponsors:

I just finished the third Stieg Larsson novel, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I enjoyed this series, but was ready for it to end. The author went into so much detail that it was a bit long, but a good story overall. I've heard some buzz about movies...would love to see them if an American version is made (I'm not into subtitles).
I'm interested in reading The Hunger Games series and the Harry Potter books (one of the last on the planet to not read those yet), but I need a bit of a break from series novels. I think I'm going to read a Jodi Picoult book I picked up at the "bargain" section at Borders. I enjoy her novels very much!

IT'S never been surrounded with the same romance as his rivalry with Roger Federer, but Rafael Nadal's career-long search for superiority over Novak Djokovic has arguably been more epic.
No foes have met more often in the Open Era than the Spaniard and the Serb, whose 50 career meetings currently sit in Djokovic's favour at 26-24.
It includes 13 meetings in grand slams (which Nadal leads 9-4) and seven grand slam finals (Nadal 4-3).
Compare that to Nadal's more glorified competition with Federer, which still sits at 23-15 his way despite Federer claiming victory in their past five meetings.
It's why Nadal pauses when asked if the Swiss maestro — who is widely considered the greatest tennis player in history on the back of his record 19 grand slam titles — is his toughest ever opponent.
"Well, it's complicated," said Nadal, in an interview with Spain's premier radio network SER.
"What with titles and what he's accomplished that says he's the best in the history of our sport.
"Is he the best I've played against? Well, maybe, yes, (but) I've also played the great Djokovic, we've run into other really good players.
"It'd be unfair to say that Federer isn't the best I've ever played against because the titles and his track record prove that to be the case.
"But at a technical level, when Djokovic has been at the top of his game, I have to say that I've been up against an invincible player."
At his peak in 2016, Djokovic reached an Elo rating of 2570.6, superior to Federer's career-best (2524.3 in 2007) and Nadal's (2489.5 in 2013).
He also trumps Federer's current five-game streak against Nadal by defeating the Mallorcan in seven consecutive meetings from 2015-2016 — failing to drop a single set over the course of those matches.
At 36 and 31 respectively, Federer and Nadal overcame age and lengthy injury lay-offs to split the four grand slams two apiece for the first time in a magically retro 2017 season.
Despite losing all four times to his great rival, including an epic five-set Australian Open final, Nadal edged Federer to snare the year-end No.1 ranking.
Federer settled for being the oldest year-end No.2 in history after a tour- topping seven titles, including an eighth Wimbledon crown — without dropping a set for the first time.
Ahead of the Australian season, Lleyton Hewitt was asked on Wednesday if the grand old stagers could continue dominating in 2018.
"You wouldn't think so but I don't know if those two are normal, especially Roger," Hewitt said.
"At his age, he's wound back the clock. Even against Rafa, he's done the best he ever has against him. I wouldn't say there's anything those two can't do."
While he's not doubting Federer and Nadal, Hewitt says question marks surround the likelihood of their fellow big-four rivals Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray return from their own injury-enforced breaks.
Neither six-times Australian Open champion Djokovic or five-times Melbourne Park runner-up Murray have played since Wimbledon in July.
Djokovic has slipped to 12th in the world after battling a longstanding elbow injury, while Murray is 16th as he struggles to overcome a chronic hip complaint.
"I don't know if they'll be as dominant as they were," Hewitt said. "For them to pick up where they left off a couple of years ago is not that easy. "But I would never right those guys off. They've played so well in Australia in hot conditions and also in night matches on Rod Laver Arena. "If they can get through that first week and give themselves a chance, then they'll be tough to beat."
With three-time grand slam champion Stan Wawrinka sidelined with a knee injury and several other established top-tenners and former grand slam finalists on the comeback trail, Hewitt hopes Australia's emerging forces Nick Kyrgios, Thanasi Kokkinakis and Jordan Thompson can cause some damage at the Open. "It's an interesting one," Hewitt said.
"You've got (Stan) Wawrinka, (Milos) Raonic, (Kei) Nishikori — a lot of top guys coming off an extended break from injuries or surgeries at the end of the year. "So the door is open for some of these younger Aussie boys."

As they led Jesus away, they came upon a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross to carry it behind Jesus. "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; fy my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Heavenly Father, whose blessed Son came not to be served but to serve: Bless all who, following in his steps, give themselves to the service of others; that with wisdom, patience, and courage, they may minister in his Name to the suffering, the friendless, and the needy; for the love of him who laid down his life for us, thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Field Lining - IntramuralUpdated Thursday September 7, 2017 by Media - RHSC.
Field Lining - Intramural
Dear Families:
Some of you have been selected to line or seed the fields for Saturday games to keep our fields playable and help keep the grass growing.
************ Don't line like this :-) --------->
If you are not able to line the fields on your appointed day, you are expected to find another parent on your team who can cover for you. Remember - if you don't line the fields when scheduled (or have someone do it) no one will.
The fields are mowed Friday AM so Field Lining should be completed anytime Friday afternoon ("Lining Day"), or, in the event of rain, Saturday AM ("Game Day").
Thank you in advance for your help in making the Red Hook Soccer Club a great place. We are an all-volunteer league made stronger by your help!
The shed at Rockefeller Lane fields contains the lining machines, paint, etc. The combination is 1152.
Use existing lines as your guide, and paint directly over top of them. In the event that lines are not visible or are not straight, stretch a string from corner to corner and follow the string.
Please do not paint lines "freehand". String supplies etc. are in the file cabinet in the shed. If you have never done this, ask someone on your team (or coach) to show you how.
Once you have completed your field lining, collect all empty paint cans and place them upside down in the boxes in the shed, and you're done!
Field Lining should take approximately 1/2 hour depending on the size of the field that you are assigned. Any questions, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Don't lock the shed, as you may prevent others from gaining access. Coaches that practice on Friday's will lock the shed.

The Razor Coast Is Filled With Center Stage Weresharks
September 28, 2013 by brennon
Center Stage Miniatures have another preview of an upcoming model for the Razor Coast series. See what you think of their newest Wereshark known as the Spawn of Dajobas...
This is the bigger, tougher cousin of the normal Weresharks that we have seen before from these guys. I have always quite liked the idea of being a Wereshark since the Rokea in World of Darkness and at least now you can do it in the Pathfinder rules.
The one thing I don't like about these kind of Weresharks though, and this is a personal quibble, is the fact that their tails have remained when they transformed into bipedal warriors. It looks like it would get in the way a lot!
It's fine when the tail is longer and thinner as I could see it swishing around but this looks like could get caught underfoot.
Other than that this one is a pretty good showing!

After 20 months of fierce denials, Russian President Vladimir Putin admitted that Russian troops have been deployed to eastern Ukraine.
"We never said there were no people there who were carrying out certain tasks including in the military sphere," he claimed. "But that does not mean there are Russian (regular) troops there, feel the difference."
Ukrainian journo: "hello from two captured Russian officers you say were never there. Will you exchange them for Savchenko, etc?"
— Roland Oliphant (@RolandOliphant) December 17, 2015
"We never said that there were not people [in Donbass] carrying out out certain tasks, including in the military sphere."
— Roland Oliphant (@RolandOliphant) December 17, 2015
That's a classic Putin. The lie about not having told a lie (he denied this a million times). He did it about Crimea too.
— Roland Oliphant (@RolandOliphant) December 17, 2015
Here is the full exchange:
In January, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov denied Ukraine's accusations that Russian military operations were underway in its sovereign territory. "I say every time: if you allege this so confidently, present the facts. But nobody can present the facts, or doesn't want to," he whined. "So before demanding from us that we stop doing something, please present proof that we have done it."
Seven months earlier, Lavrov admitted his country is helping the pro-Russian rebels in east Ukraine. He claimed it was only humanitarian aid, but the rebels posted pictures of military equipment.
In March 2014, witnesses reported seeing Russian troops unloading more tanks in eastern Crimea a week before Moscow annexed the peninsula from Ukraine. Ukraine held a presidential election in May, but the separatists in the east refused to allow people to participate. Journalists on the scene posted pictures of a Russian battalion entering Donetsk. One of the fighters told a witness the battalion arrived from Chechnya.
Courtney Weaver at the Financial Times was able to interview a few of the fighters, and they confirmed the group was from Chechnya. The leader of this group, Zelimkhan, said that "Russia can't openly attack Ukraine," and "[E]verything is underground."
"Our president [Chechnya's Ramzan Kadyrov] gave the order. They called us and we came," said Zelimkhan.
Only a year later, the West accepted evidence Russia was present in the region. At the time, Secretary of State John Kerry confessed that Russian propaganda worked on him.
"The question asked earlier about … how they present things and the lies about their presence in Ukraine and the training, I mean, you know, it's stunning but it has an impact in places where it isn't countered," he said. "Propaganda works."
The EU also took a year to acknowledge the Russian soldiers. In retaliation, the body passed more sanctions against 19 people and nine organizations.

Surgical Dermatology & Laser Center is excited to announce that, effective immediately, PFD patches will be available for use in tattoo removal procedures.
The ON Light Sciences DeScribe® Transparent PFD Patch "is infused with perfluorodecalin (PFD), an inert, non-toxic, transparent liquid that has been used in a variety of medical applications for years. Because of its unique affinity for gases, as well as its powerful index matching and optical clearing properties, PFD speeds clearance of the opaque white bubble layer formed after a conventional single laser pass. By absorbing gas, reducing optical scattering and enabling index matching, the DeScribe Patch allows the powerful clinical advantage of immediate re-treatment."
By allowing technicians the ability to immediately re-treat an area, Surgical Dermatology & Laser Center is now able to significantly decrease the number of individual treatment visits a patient would typically require.

"Half this game is ninety percent mental."
—Danny Ozark, Philadelphia Phillies manager
"Please don't think . . . that I am showing off when I say that I know the secret of how not to lose but win. I really do know the secret; it is terribly silly and simple and consists of keeping one's head the whole time, whatever the state of the game, and not getting excited. That is all, and it makes losing simply impossible . . . But that is not the point: The point is whether, having grasped the secret, a man knows how to make use of it and is fit to do so. A man can be as wise as Solomon and have an iron character and still be carried away."

Now You Can Create Your Own Private Island Near Your Beach of Choice
Oh, those clever Dutch! Taking inspiration from their own water-logged terrain, they've figured out a way to construct the ultimate in luxury real estate–your own private island, made from scratch. I kid you not. It's just been announced that Christie's International Real Estate and a floating development company called Dutch Docklands are collaborating on self-sufficient, eco-friendly, buoyant islands in chic locations all over the world.
Don't believe it? Well, a quick trip to the Maldives will reveal the first, branded with the name 'Amillarah,' which literally is Maldivian for 'private island.' "In addition to our Maldivian project, we have new developments signed in Dubai and Miami, and are actively looking for opportunities worldwide, " says Paul van de Camp, CEO of Dutch Docklands.
Judging by the renderings, these islands, residence included, seem totally swank. "Each of these homes is an eco-friendly work of art that can be lived in, allowing consumers to not only create, but enjoy whatever kind of paradise they desire," added Rick Moeser, Senior Vice President, Christie's International Real Estate.
I can see these islands as the ultimate way to extend coveted Malibu real estate, or simply add more prestige property to the portfolio that has everything. I mean, just think — Larry Ellison could add one to his island collection that already includes Lanai, anchor it off Billionaire Beach, and be one beach house closer to a Monopoly there.
But he's not the only celeb I can see jumping at the chance to create and own his or her own private island. Here are half a dozen I'm thinking would be interested:
Tom Cruise: He'd be able to entertain members of Scientology's Sea Org, and they'd feel right at home.
Bruno Mars: This would make him less homesick for his island house in Hawaii.
Eddie Van Halen: Born in the Netherlands, this would help him get back to his roots.
Justin Bieber: Never too popular with his neighbors because of his raucous ways, his own private island would give him all the isolation he needs.
Jason Momoa: The Game of Thrones star is playing Aqua Man on the big screen, and it would be the ultimate branding opportunity.

"An anti-concept is an unnecessary and rationally unusable term designed to replace and obliterate some legitimate concept."
Ayn Rand – The Ayn Rand Lexicon pg. 23
In this case the anti-concept of "black market" replaces "free market," meaning free from government taxation, and regulation.
It is an anti-concept because it is all encompassing of not only the criminal but the virtuous. Take for example the "black market" of human organs. If somebody kills someone then harvests their organs and sells them on the "black market" the real crime becomes the sale of the organs rather than the murder, while a labourer who sells his labour for cash and doesn't claim it as income to the Canada Revenue Agency is also a part of the "black market" and is smeared with the same criminality associated with the murderer, and yet what the labourer is doing was perfectly legal, if not natural, prior to the implementation of the Income War Tax Act of 1917. A labourer selling his labour for unreported cash in 1916 was an upstanding man earning an honest living but in 1917 became a member of the "black market."
Today all transactions must be reported to the government, quite technically even bartered goods must be reported as income and the appropriate percentage of capital gain must be submitted in cash to the government. If your neighbour helps you move and you pay him with a bottle of rum the neighbour is obligated to report the value of the rum to the government as income. Not to do so puts him in the "black market."
What was once a free market in trade for cash or kind has now been labeled with the anti-concept "black market."
At the root of this is the improper belief that all economic behaviour falls under the jurisdiction of the government. For a man to earn a living he must first submit to the tribe by giving them a cut of his profit. This is extortion at the very least and slavery in essence. This stems from a change in attitude of a civilized society of individuals acting in concert for the betterment of each player in a transaction to a tribal or collectivist attitude where a central authority dictates which transactions are acceptable and which are not; where a central authority coercively interferes in the livelihood of both parties becoming a parasite for the supposed benefit of the tribe. Over the past 94 years (since the implementation of the income tax) most of us have become accustomed to this sense of tribal entitlement to the profit of others.
Another example of this sense of entitlement and the outlawing of what was once a person's natural right to conduct business in a free market are competition laws, also called anti-trust laws.
"Under the Antitrust laws, a man becomes a criminal from the moment he goes into business, no matter what he does. For instance, if he charges prices which some bureaucrats judge as too high, he can be prosecuted for monopoly or for a successful "intent to monopolize"; if he charges price's lower than those of his competitors, he can be prosecuted for "unfair competition" or "restraint of trade"; and if he charges the same prices as his competitors, he can be prosecuted for "collusion" or "conspiracy." There is only one difference in the legal treatment accorded to a criminal or to a businessman: the criminal's rights are protected much more securely and objectively than the businessman's."
Ayn Rand – The Ayn Rand Lexicon pg. 28
"The Rule of Law, in complex times,
Has proved itself deficient.
We much prefer the Rule of Men,
It's vastly more efficient!"
"Now let me state the present rules,"
The lawyer then went on,
"These very simple guidelines,
You can rely upon:
You're gouging on your prices if
You charge more than the rest.
But it's unfair competition if
You think you can charge less!"
"A second point that we would make
To help avoid confusion…
Don't try to charge the same amount,
That would be Collusion!
You must compete. But not too much,
For if you do you see,
Then the market would be yours –
And that's monopoly!"
Excerpt from The Incredible Bread Machine – by R.W. Grant (1966)
The effect, and intention, of anti-trust laws is to hang a sword of Damocles over the heads of businessmen… all businessmen. At any given time the government can, and has, destroyed wealth, raised the price of goods, and restricted economic choices under the guise of encouraging competition. Ironically they have also created monopolies and subsidized one business over another in the same field. Consider the banking industry and the telecommunications industry. The government has also entered into private enterprise making it difficult for other businesses either to enter the market or to compete. I am reminded of entities like Petro Canada (since privatized) and the CBC.
The businessman has gone from being an individual seeking profit by producing goods or services to willing customers to becoming the host of a parasitic society which feels an entitlement to those goods and services. The businessmen, the inventors, the creative geniuses who create and sell these marvelous things which surround us have become a means to the tribes' ends.
Whereas before we admired the innovators and businessmen, and erected statues in their honour we now tax them, regulate them and blame them not only for our failures but for their successes. We now have labeled them the dreaded 1%. And we, being the majority 99% must rein in their supposed excesses and bring them to heal. They must do the bidding of the collective for the good of all and they must not expect to profit from their genius.

ELLE: Hello, Sam! Let's get to it. You've said in previous interviews that when you went in for your first Catching Fire audition, you didn't know what the role was for. How could that be?
Sam Claflin: I was sent over a script and there was no title to what I was reading. It was just two scenes with a character called "Finnick" and a mini-character breakdown. I started reading the scene and saw the name Katniss, and I'd just recently seen The Hunger Games, so I thought, "OK, is this a connection?" But I didn't know it was a trilogy. I just thought it was a one-time film. So I typed Finnick Odair" into Google an all these book and fan pages came up and I was kind of like, "whoa." So I just went through all of it and did as much research as I could the night before.
ELLE: And how did that first casting interview go?
SC: I thought I had a pretty good idea of who the character was, but I was pretty off. I thought he was just kind of a bad guy. And obviously he's kind of painted in that light in the beginning, so I honed in on the fact that he was mysterious and untrustworthy as much as I could. But thank God Frances [Lawrence] was there for my recall because he directed me in a very different way than I was expecting the second time.
ELLE: How so?
SC: I think the fantastic thing that Suzanne Collins manages to achieve in these books is that every single character, no matter how big or small, goes through such an amazing journey. And as you read through them, you realize that someone like Finnick—whose image suggest he is perfection personified—is very far from that and he has a very dark past. So Frances allowed me the freedom to play with that in my scenes. Finnick is far from perfect. He has pitfalls and also this fantastic complexity. And Catching Fire is just touching the surface of where he goes.
ELLE: It just seems like a lot of actors would try to avoid that [reading fan reactions to his casting] and instead concentrate on what they can bring to the role. Do you feel it helped you to know what the fans thought?
SC: It helped push me forward and motivate me to work harder. I was reading so many stories about people being unhappy that I got the role—and don't get me wrong, I don't sit here Googling myself 24/7—but I think part of me was eager to learn what I needed to do in order to become the Finnick the fans needed me to be. The negative comments made that easier to know what their expectations of me were.
ELLE: Have you seen any early footage of the film?
SC: Just bits and bobs so far.
ELLE: How does it look?
SC: All I can say is that people are going to be blown away. Frances has such an amazing and vivid vision that's created a whole new depth to a world that's already basically been created. Add to that the cast: a recent Oscar winner fronting the car; Philip Seymour Hoffman as a new member.

Personalized medicine
No two forms of cancer are the same – and not only because the disease can affect different organs. There are also different forms of liver cancer. Certain characteristics can vary from patient to patient. Researchers are developing medical tests for uncovering these differences. Blood and tissue samples are examined and genetic information collected in order to determine specific characteristics of the cancer. On the basis of this information it is then possible to treat patients with a specific drug that perfectly 'matches' the individual disease. This form of targeted treatment based on a previous diagnosis is called personalized medicine.
Bayer is engaged in the field of personalized medicine with the aim of developing targeted treatment options for patients.

Selector's Shakespeare Special
The Selector is all about showcasing great British music and in this year when "Shakespeare Lives" - 400 years since the great wordsmith died - we are focusing on the importance of lyrical content, whilst discussing who we'll be studying and celebrating in 400 years time. Who will be the new Shakespeare? In this unique show, we hear from the likes of Dizzee Rascal, The Libertines, Lily Allen, Pet Shop Boys and Girls Aloud amongst others.
Of course, this is all about opinion and seeing as we won't be here in 2416, there are no wrong answers. It's a show designed to make you sit back and think about the lyrics whilst listening to some music or poetry you may not have otherwise discovered.
Our resident DJ and host Goldierocks chairs the discussion and we have assembled a wonderful panel of experts to put forward their future Shakespeares ...
Peter Robinson is a British music journalist who writes for the Guardian and NME. He is the creator of the pop music-based blog Popjustice. Robinson first came to the attention of music fans with his self-published biography/fanzine of The KLF, Justified and Ancient History. He is also the author of three other books: The Official Story and On Tour for UK pop band Busted, and also the author of the tie-in book to UK reality TV show Popstars: The Rivals.
Debris Stevenson is a grime artist, poet, teacher and dancer. Debris found poetry at 16 in the gut of the Roundhouse, where words enabled her to navigate her dyslexia. After being followed by Channel4 for 2 years, she was published by organisations such as, Louis Vuitton, Oxford University, Holland Park Press and BBC Radio's The Verb. A social carrier pigeon, Debris has performed her poetry from the National Theatre Zagreb to a street corner in San Francisco. She is particularly interested in the alternative narrative and vocabulary that poetry provides for those navigating identity; race, education, sexuality, disability and mental health. Her debut pamphlet Pigeon Party was published by Flipped Eye.
James Endeacott is the founder and managing director of 1965 Records. He formally worked for Rough Trade Records where he signed The Libertines and worked with The Strokes, amongst many others. In 2007, 1965 Records scored a UK number one album the release of 'Hats Off To The Buskers' by Scottish band, The View. James is a regular contributor to Steve Lamacq's Round Table on BBC6 Music and has his own show on Soho Radio. He can often be found spinning records under his alias, The Fat White Duke.
Mr Gee is a key member of London's spoken word scene as both poet and presenter. From hosting renowned nights such as Brix-Tongue and Chill Pill to presenting, SONY award nominated, BBC Radio 4 series Bespoken Word and, more recently, Poetic Justice. Gee's has performed his poetry at the O2, Edinburgh Fringe and Latitude Festivals, won critical acclaim for his album Poetry in the Key of Gee' and supported Russell Brand on his UK stand up tours. Gee also curates laid-back poetry nights where up-and-coming poets share the stage with some of the finest spoken word acts in the UK.
If music be the food of love, play on ...

Today has definitely not been a dull day! I went home at lunch and everything seemed normal but not long after arriving back at work I learned of a forest fire not too far from where I live. A couple of hours later I left work for a bit to get some stuff just in case (clothes, books, my computer, my passport). Everyone else was clearly doing the same thing as traffic was completely insane. After work I wasn't able to go back home. It sounds like the fire has now changed course and everything should be okay though the airport is apparently now closed. I am back at my place now but I am keeping stuff in the trunk of my car overnight just in case things change.
There is getting to be some news stories published about the fire but less than I'd have expected but it does seem difficult for Labrador to make national news.
It has also been record-setting hot (32 degrees!). It is hard to believe that we had snow less than a month ago!

For most Americans, the Affordable Care Act is about as clear as mud. Polls show a majority of people have no idea how the plan – referred to derisively by critics and triumphantly by proponents as Obamacare – will affect them. And it seems scammers are counting on it.
TIME magazine reports health policy experts expect a flood of complaints about illegal schemers and unscrupulous companies trying to take advantage of consumers' confusion.
The main feature of the law kicks in Oct. 1. That's the launch date of the insurance marketplace, which some Americans will need in order to comply with the requirement they purchase health care coverage or face fines.
The experts are worried not just about outright scams – think take the money and run – but also about so-called "discount medical plans." These are marketed as alternatives to health care coverage but aren't insurance at all.
"There are people licking their chops and saying, 'A sucker is born every minute,'" Elizabeth Abbott, director of administrative advocacy for the consumer group Health Access California, told TIME. Several states already have sued companies selling these plans for deceptive marketing practices.
And in Chicago in late July retired city workers filed a lawsuit over the impending shift to Obamacare.
Amid the confusion Obamacare has created, the expected flurry of lawsuits is understandable. Protect your business and your employees. When questions arise in the wake of the implementation of this game-changing legislation that will affect your business operations and your employees, you'll need expert advice. Your business attorney can help you navigate the healthcare-legislation maze.

Guess who got an invitation to breakfast with Jim & Chris? Wow! We are all at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant. And this restaurant makes wonderful pancakes!
10:30AM - Camping at Palm Creek Resort.
You know that MsTioga and The Team do not hang out at places like Palm Creek. However, the currents of our destiny are gently speaking to us. And they are saying, "Stay awhile at
Palm Creek." Man-O-Man!
Chris took me down to the membership building and I now have a Guest Pass good thru Saturday, December 15th. Double-Wow with sugar on it!
11AM - Doing things at Palm Creek.
There is a place to wash vehicles at Palm Creek! So, we went over there to wash MsTioga.
While we were doing the washing, our friend Chris drove up and told us that the Palm Creek manager offered us a FREE nite's stay! Wow! Isn't that neat?
12 Noon - The wood shop.
Just across the way from where we were washing MsTioga, is the Palm Creek wood shop. This wood shop is very well equipped. If we were staying awhile at Palm Creek, we would sure figure out something to make using this wood shop!
4PM - Exploring Palm Creek RV Resort.
Little Mavicito & George climbed on to Mr. Trek and we explored Palm Creek. We still do not know our way around this HUGE RV resort, and got lost several times.
We looked into the Computer Room, where our friend Jim helps people to learn about how to do things on the internet. We visited the exercise room which has very nice workout equipment.

"We see the world not as it is, but as we are." –Albert Einstein
What is Coaching?
Human beings are "observers of the world". We are living systems which, with our emotions and our bodies, in conjunction with language, "shape" the way in which the world appears to each of us. In other words, each of us creates "interpretations of the world" in which we live.
Life Coaching is a mutual partnership between a coach and a willing individual which connects at the deep personal level of beliefs, values and vision, and which enables the realization of extraordinary results through a process of discovery, goal setting and specific action steps.
Life Coaching is also a technology, a methodology and a style of relating that focuses on the development of human potential. Coaching is inter-developmental in that the collaboration develops both the coach and the individual being coached.
The core of coaching is developing quality in the present and possibilities for future goals. By becoming a powerful observer, you are able to create outcomes for powerful and effective results
Ontology" is the study of being and Ontological Coaching is about coaching a way of being, as a means of producing major shifts in perception and behaviour through all aspects of communication.
An ontological coach is a particular kind of coach who embodies the powerful distinctions of the "Ontology of Language", also spoken of as the "Ontology of the Human Observer", and who is able to support people in achieving their goals and creating a new way of being.
Even though people often know what they want in life, quite often they do not know how to get there. Similarly, they do not always know how to avoid what they do not want. Sometimes, people do not even know what is missing for them
The role of an ontological coach is not to tell people how to be or behave, rather to assist them to identify and achieve what they desire.
Ontological coaching is not a process based on a script known by the coach. It is about enabling others to better serve themselves, expand their possibilities, increase their capacity to learn, act more effectively and better design their future. There is artistry and deep learning in ontological approach.
Ontological coaching focuses on the right now – how we presently show up in life through our body, emotions and language. Then understanding what is working for you and what is not, applied directly to your life as a unique individual.
Ontological life coaching relies heavily on your familial, historic and cultural past to understand what behaviors create barriers in your life.
Many times, when people do not like the results they are getting, they first change their actions. But focusing on actions without first changing their perspective ("observer") toward the situation only produces more of the same results.
To truly change the results, an emphasis on the way the "observer" (the client) perceives herself and the world around her must be made. This is done through bringing in the learning domains of physiology (body posture), emotions & moods and language.
You literally become what you think about most.
Your life becomes what you have imagined and believed in most.
Nobel Prize winning physicists have proven beyond doubt that the physical world is one large sea of energy that flashes into and out of being in milliseconds, over and over again. Nothing is solid. They have proven that thoughts are what put together and hold together this ever-changing energy field into the 'objects' that we see.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." Albert Einstein
|So why do we see a person instead of a flashing cluster of energy?
Think of a movie reel.
A movie is a collection of about 24 frames a second. Each frame is separated by a gap. However, because of the speed at which one frame replaces another, our eyes get cheated into thinking that we see a continuous and moving picture.
Think of television.
A TV tube is simply a tube with heaps of electrons hitting the screen in a certain way, creating the illusion of form and motion.
This is what all objects are anyway. You have 5 physical senses (sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste).
In other words, your set of senses perceives the sea of energy from a certain limited standpoint and makes up an image from that.
It is not complete, nor is it accurate. It is just an interpretation.
All of our interpretations are solely based on the 'internal map' of reality that we have, and not the real truth. Our 'map' is a result of our personal life's collective experiences.
We are all prisoners of our own believe systems
Our thoughts are linked to this invisible energy and they determine what the energy forms. Your thoughts literally shift the universe on a particle-by-particle basis to create your physical life.
Look around you.
Everything you see in our physical world started as an idea, an idea that grew as it was shared and expressed, until it grew enough into a physical object through a number of steps. You literally become what you think about most. Your life becomes what you have imagined and believed in most.
The world is literally your mirror, enabling you to experience in the physical plane what you hold as your truth … until you change it.
Quantum physics shows us that the world is not the hard and unchangeable thing it may appear to be. Instead, it is a very fluid place continuously built up using our individual and collective thoughts.
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe , think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration"
Your Emotional Body
Did you know that every time you talk about an unhealed wound or trauma, you re-activate it in your emotional, spiritual and physical bodies? As you speak, or even think, about an old issue, you experience it as if it is happening right now. Since your subconscious mind does not know the difference between current experience and past memory, for all intents and purposes, the trauma or negative experience is happening now.
When you re-activate old painful memories, your thoughts, words and emotions create a negative karmic energy that you unknowingly project out into your future. This karmic energy manifests in more painful experiences, similar to the original issue. In other words, when issues come up without resolution, a karmic loop or pattern develops.
Each time this karmic pattern manifests in real life situations, you re-experience the original wound and the current hurt simultaneously. When this occurs, it is a powerful opportunity to heal the past wound by healing the current one.
Unfortunately, when an issue is re-activated, instead of using it as a healing opportunity, many of us react by pushing the wounds down with numbing substances like food, drugs, internet, Facebook, TV, and a long list of other distractions.
Unhealed issues get stored in the body, until we release them. The body obliges as a storehouse for emotional wounds but it does take its toll, especially if issues are accumulated for long periods of time. Storing wounds in the body eventually weakens the body and invites illness and disease, as well as causing depression, fatigue, stress and weight gain. The good news is that the body is ready to release issues, the moment you are.
When an unhealed issue is re-activated, don't just push it down – take the time to finally heal it. This means creating intentional space to feel your emotions and allow the issue to Process Through to Healing, or complete the healing process in whatever way works best for you.
Wounds are meant to be healed. We are not meant to spend our lives carrying around past issues and hurts. Unhealed issues weigh us down, keep us asleep and prevent us from consciously creating. It is only our personal issues that stop us from experiencing our greatest potential. Holding onto issues keeps us limited and unable to reach that mountain top.
Because of the shifts going on in the collective consciousness and the higher energy now available on this planet, it has never been easier to release old issues. In fact, issues are now coming to the surface to be resolved. This is why so many of us are experiencing familiar challenges. Wounds want to be healed and issues want to be released, but you have the last say. None of this can happen until you are ready and willing.
You are meant to be free and clear of emotional burdens. You are meant to live a limitless life with an abundance of love and creativity. You are meant to stand on the mountain top with arms stretched wide – willing to receive your grandest dreams. The Universe is listening.
Article by Nanice Ellis (Guest Writer for "Wake up World)
There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe.
Every time you appreciate something, every time you praise something, every time you feel good about something,
Life is an echo.
Remember, Life is an echo. It always gets back to you.
Ask and I shall receive!

I don't know how you guys feel about debating, but I'm going to tell you about the time I decided to join the Debating Team when I was in high school. Our school had previously been known to be one of the best debating teams within the private school circles (talk about intimidation!) and towards the end of my years in high school, we began to lose that title. Obviously our teachers wanted to get the team back into good shape and asked previous debating students to reform their groups (as much as possible – considering people come and go towards Year 9-12).
I have NEVER debated in my life, but I decided, "What the heck! I get out of class for a couple of hours and all I really have to do is write down rebuttals." I was obviously named the forth speaker. But when round one came, our third speaker was late to school and we could no longer wait for him, leaving my in an awkward position: I had to deliver the conclusion of our debate. I was not in the right form for this!!! I just wanted to get out of class! To make this story short we lost (I think it was my fault) and my team mate were a little bummed – but they were also frustrated because our adjudicator was a teacher from the school we were competing against and blamed it on favouritism (so not completely my fault).
So what did I learn from this experience?
- Prepare yourself for the "battle": No matter what it is – exams, tests, essays, speeches, debates – KNOW what you're talking or writing about. I was not at all prepared to speak that day, I thought I was just going to sit quietly and write little notes for my team mates to retort – but that didn't happen, so I almost fell flat on my face.
- Expect the UNexpected: Just like we were surprised that the other school would use their teachers to judge our debate, you need to expect that there are some things you DON'T know. Information is so vast in the world that we can't retain it all, so be sure to be familiar with AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. You're not Superman (or Wonder Woman), but be sure that you're prepared for what you dread the most.
- Keep CALM: I was not calm when I ended that debate. I lost my palm cards (only to find that my team mate had been using them to write rebuttals for me) and I was completely not in the right state of mind. If you're calm in any situation you're in, your head will be clear and be prepared for WHATEVER IS THROWN ITS WAY. So: Breathe. Read. Understand. Answer/ Execute.
I can't guarantee ALL your battles in life will be victorious, but I can say that if you work hard within these battles, you'll win the war.

Review: Datacolor SpyderCHECKR 24
Color management in digital photography can be a very important component of the digital workflow, especially for applications where color needs to be faithfully or consistently reproduced - photographing artwork for example, where there is a requirement for the photograph to accurately convey the colors present in the subject.
Photography intended for print publication is but the first step in a multistage color management process that leads to the final published print, whether it be for a magazine, a book or a billboard. This process typically involves the color calibration of a range of steps from image capture in the camera, through accurate rendering on a monitor, to the use of calibrated color profiles for the equipment that will actually produce the final printed image.
There are many levels of color management in digital photography. For the great majority of digital camera users however, it's probably something that they don't really consider much, since most digital cameras do a pretty good job of interpreting the color for the majority of the images that they produce.
Yes, I use the word advisedly for two very good reasons. Firstly, the perception of color is very subjective and varies significantly from person to person. This goes deeper than just the physical differences between the ways that each person's eyes respond to different wavelengths of light, also encompassing the far more mysterious mental aspects of color perception.
The second reason is that almost all digital cameras don't really "see" colors in the true sense of the word. The sensor itself is essentially color blind, responding only to the intensity of the light (it's true that the sensor's sensitivity does vary somewhat across the visible spectrum, but not enough for it to be able to usefully discriminate colors for imaging purposes). In order to reproduce color, the monochrome digital sensor will typically have a mosaic of tiny red, green and blue filters in front of its array of pixels, which enables the colors in the recorded image to be reconstructed algorithmically in a process called demosaicing.
If you're shooting raw images, the actual intensity pattern that the sensor sees and the demosaicing components of the image are stored separately, giving the photographer a fine degree of control over the color in the final image. If you're shooting JPEGs, this color reconstruction process is largely done for you behind the scenes, and while some degree of further color tweaking is possible in post-processing, the photographer will have nothing like the degree of control over the color as would be possible with a raw image.
There is a whole array of factors that determine the way that your digital camera will record color information - the reflectivity of the subject, the sensitivity of the sensor itself to different wavelengths of light, the optical properties of lens, the intensity and quality of the light source, and so on. Subjects photographed in natural light for example can have a very different color rendering from those photographed in artificial light, since the color spectrum of the light from a typical household lightbulb is very different from that of the sun or the sky.
So given all of these variables that can impact the color in our photographs, how do you faithfully and consistently reproduce color in images, using different cameras and lenses and under different lighting conditions?
The answer is to use a color correction card like Datacolor's SpyderCHECKR 24™. This is essentially a card bearing a set of spectrally calibrated color patches as well as a set of gray scales from pure white to deep black. The colors on the card are calibrated to a set of reference points in the Hue-Saturation-Lightness (HSL) color gamut, including a gray scale from pure white to black in increments of 20%.
The basic idea of this card is very simple. When you start a photo shoot with a particular combination of camera, lens and lighting conditions, if you photograph the SpyderCHECKR card under those conditions, you can subsequently make necessary adjustments to the image to exactly reproduce the calibrated colors on the card. This set of adjustments can then be saved as a color correction preset (in photo processing software such as Lightroom or Photoshop for example) and used to accurately color-correct any image captured under those conditions.
Easy right?
It's actually very easy. There's a small software application that comes bundled with the card (as a separate download from Datacolor's web site) which will actually analyze your photograph of the card and generate the color correction preset for you for a number of photo processing software applications including Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, Hasselblad's Phocus, or Black Magic's DaVinci Resolve.
All that's needed for the software to do its thing, is to make sure that the photograph of the card is oriented and cropped as shown here, the white balance corrected using for example, Lightroom's eye dropper tool on the 20% gray square, and finally a little tweaking of the white and black levels to get about 90% RGB on the pure white and 4% for the black. If you add the SpyderCHECKR app as an external editor in your preferences in Lightroom for example (as I did). you can then directly load the cropped image into the app to run its color analysis and generate your color correction preset for you.
One slightly annoying issue that's more of a Lightroom problem than a SpyderCHECKR problem, is that you need to quit out of Lightroom and restartit it again in order to have access to the new preset that you just created. Perhaps there's a way to refresh the user presets in Lightroom without doing this, but I couldn't find one and if not - Adobe - are you listening?
To see how easy the SpyderCHECKR is to use and how well it works, I enlisted the help of my oldest friend Boo Boo the bear, my faithful companion since before I was even old enough to remember :-)
Here's a shot of Boo Boo captured indoors using ambient light. The image on the left is the uncorrected image straight out of the camera. The image on the right is color-corrected using a Lightroom preset created automatically with the SpyderCHECKR software as described above. In this case the difference is quite subtle because the camera did a pretty good job of handling the color. It's clear however that the image straight of the camera is slightly bluer, which is typical for shade light and I was using the default white balance setting for normal daylight.
One thing to be aware of is that just correcting the white balance is not the same as using a color profile that applies a correction across the color spectrum. To see how much of a difference this would make, I saved the simple white balance correction and the full SpyderCHECKR color correction as separate presets. The differences in the color squares were subtle but distinct. I'm not showing separate images for each correction here, since the differences really are quite subtle and because most of the people viewing these images on the web are probably using uncalibrated monitors anyway which would make any comparison even harder (color calibrating your monitor could be the subject of another whole article all by itself).
Here's an example in which I lit Boo Boo with artificial light to illustrate the kind of stark color difference that can exist between artificial and natural light sources. Again, I was using the default white balance setting for normal daylight, so the shift towards the red end of the visible spectrum is really apparent. Had I instead used the Tungsten white balance setting, I would have gotten a more realistic color rendering, but still likely not as accurate across the entire color spectrum as you can get using the color correction preset generated using the SpyderCHECKR card and software.
One other thing worthy of note, is that when I compare side-by-side, the two corrected images captured under different lighting conditions, the colors are remarkably consistent, which is exactly what you want. Imagine for example, that you are a fashion photographer shooting a model wearing a beautiful, colored gown that is to be featured in a print ad. As the photo shoot transitions during the day, from bright sunlight to the much warmer colors of sunset and maybe even to artificial lights after dark - the color temperature of the ambient light will be varying throughout the shoot and the last thing the photographer (or her client) wants is for the model's gown to be a different color in every shot of the final spread.
Overall, I would say that this is a really excellent product because it makes color correction in post-processing a great deal easier and more accurate than simply using a gray card and setting the white balance. The instructions for using the card and the software are clear and easy to follow, and I particularly like the fact that the SpyderCHECKR card comes bundled with its own very intuitive software for automatically generating the color correction preset.
In conclusion then, the SpyderCHECKR 24 really is a great tool for handling this vital first step in the color management workflow from capture to print. It currently retails for around US $50 (including the license for the software that must be downloaded separately) and is available for purchase from Hunt's Photo and Video.
