AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed around "red eye" effects in photography, encouraging participants to submit images that feature this common issue. The contest embraces the quirky nature of red eyes, contrasting with modern photo editing tools that typically eliminate them. Participants are instructed to submit one digital photo, adhering to specific size limitations and minimal editing rules, ensuring the integrity of the original image. Photos must be the participant's own work, and only one entry per member is allowed. At the end of the submission period, a poll will determine the best photo, with voting open to all forum members. The contest aims to celebrate the uniqueness of red eyes, both in photography and in the culinary context of red eye gravy, a Southern dish made with coffee.

Red Eye Gravy

This week, we want your photos that have the annoying red eyes! While there are cameras now that can automatically remove red eyes, or photo software that can do some post-processing to remove such effects, this week's contest embraces these red eyes!

So give us your best, fiery red eyes!

Good luck!

P.S. For those of you who don't know, red eye gravy is a "sauce" (i.e. gravy) commonly served in the southern parts of the US, usually with ham or fried chicken. It is a pan sauce with a rather unusual ingredient for most - coffee!

Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. These pictures must be something that you took, not something taken off someone else's photo albums or taken by someone else. I have no way of checking if you did this, so we'll go by the honor system.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

In this photo, the red-eye actually was rather appropriate for the occasion.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
