Tempus alt pours a nice brown into the glass, with a short lived foam. Classy looks indeed. Tempus recommends serving between 7-11º C. You certainly don't want it too cold, and from my experience, it doesn't hurt to let it warm a little.
Smell is a bit flat, yet far from discrete, with malts and a bit of veggies in there.
The taste is wonderful; smooth, woody, meaty taste in general with the rather perfect amount and flavor of hops. It has that "aged" character.
It's medium bodied, not thin enough to be called "thin". Quite drinkable and palatable. Easy to mix with a variety of foods.
Mexican beers can be good, so-so or terrible. But this (and the imperial variant) are exceptional. My personal congratulations to the brewery - this is highly recommended.

With an amber coppery color; medium body, very tasty and refreshing; is supposed that is made with 100% of malt; in the smell there's only malt; the taste is coarse with some malts and a little hop, with a toast caramel end; good to accompany meats; very good craft beer.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Appearance- Golden amber, brilliant pour with a quickly dissipating off-white head.
Aroma- Soft caramel and toffee maltiness with a touch of herbal hops. Nice toasty biscuit notes also.
Flavor- Starts with a nutty maltiness and herbal hops and moves into a medium bodied, slightly sweet caramel middle. Finishes with a moderate and nicely balancing hop bitterness. Fairly clean with a moderately dry finish.
Mouthfeel- Medium body, low-moderate CO2, nice balance with low residual sugars. Feels just a touch thin, but may be just because of the lower CO2.
Overall- Not bad! This bottle was a bit older and a touch past its prime, but still made for a tasty and refreshing brew. Nice balance certainly helps with the drinkability factor, but seemed just a tad low on CO2 for my taste. I will definitely be seeking out a fresh bottle if I ever make it south of the border!

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
A decent beer to find in macro-lager-centric Mexico, but not a good example of this Germanic style i.e. not a particularly good alt beer.
Beautiful clear amber colour with a nice full head and a pleasant mouthfeel. Unfortunately, corn is predominant in both aroma and taste. Although alt beers are typically malty sweet with a nice dry finish, I find the caramelized malt flavours for which I'd hoped overwhelmed by corn. The finish is nicely dry, but the syrupy sweetness lingers in the background of the aftertaste as well.
A nice change and I'm not sad to have tried it, but Mexico offers better artisanal beers.

I'm a huge fanfic addict. Although I am more of a reader than a writer, since the only story I once started has never been finished, I check Mugglenet frequently and try to write reviews.
From Across the Great Divide by Ashwinder
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 199]
Summary: A post-Hogwarts H/G fic. Strange circumstances draw Harry and Ginny closer together. But are they in danger? Romance, adventure, Monty Python, and tartan boxer shorts abound. Written pre-OOP.
Very well written story. I appreciate all the precise language and correct grammar. I can also say that you certainly know your French food terms. :)
Vindicated by Secret Lily
Rated: [Reviews - 610]
Lily Evans has always pushed guys away, keeping her distance away from heartbreak. If she never got too attatched, she would never get hurt.
Yet, James Potter refuses to be pushed away. Will he be the one to actually tear down Lily's walls that separate them?
As soon as Lily said, "We need to talk," I thought of Remy's The Talk. You did a good job following Sarah Dessen's style. :)
Destined to Be by The Marauder
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 257]
Summary: James is passionately in love with Lily, but she despises him. Each year things seem to get worse for the love sick boy. When he finally finds the courage to tell her the truth about how he feels, how will Lily react? Will her heart finally make a change?
Follow the two through each year at Hogwarts as hearts are wrenched, twisted, and finally touched as the two struggle to find the love they were destined for
Last Chapter Added!

Wow. Pride and Prejudice much? I liked your story, though. :)
On the Headmaster's Wall by Rhetor
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 16]
Summary: Centuries pass; memories fade. No one remembers the sacrifices made to win the war. Only the portraits on the Headmasters wall, and one portrait in particular, is able to tell the story.
Wow again. Such a touching story. There really is something good to be said about tragedies. :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Lindsey. As you can guess, I\'m a fan of tragedies too. ~Ken
Counting to Five Thousand by Rhetor
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 54]
Summary: One decision leads to an army of consequences, and a lifetime is not too long to spend amending them.
Wow. I can say quite clearly that I greatly admire your story. Of any aspects of a fanfiction, the ones I value most are believability and uniqueness. Your story has both. Great job!!
Author's Response: Thanks, Lindsey. I am honored. Sorry it\'s taken me so long to respond. I\'ve been working on original fiction for the last several months and haven\'t visited the Fanfic sites very much. ~Ken
Sweet Days of Summer by NaruKoibito
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 37]
Summary: It's the summer before Harry Potter goes off to Hogwarts for his sixth year. Friendship is blooming in the air...and maybe something more? Well flowers are blooming for sure because he just can't stop smelling them! Now if only he could find one around the Burrow...
Wow! I really enjoy your story. Harry and Ginny seem to be perfectly in character even though it differs from book 6. :)
Author's Response: Thanks! =D Being in character is very important to me. I\'m glad that you think I did it well.
Summary: Severus Snape has one friend at Hogwarts he can count on: Lily Evans. Lily spends summers at home with her beloved sister, Petunia, and in their twelfth summer, the two girls admit the remote, secretive Severus to their private world. Sadly, the older one grows, the more difficult life becomes. What changes will come when other boys begin to come around Lily in her summer hols -and what dangers can come of the dark, violent emotions that burn within a young wizard torn apart by the complications of the ever-darkening world in which he lives?
I love the reference to glam rock! My friend Nora worships it. :)
All the Time in the World by mugglegurl
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 28]
Summary: Ginny suddenly found herself hoping.
After the final battle, Ginny has a much-needed discussion with Harry.
(Written as a present for greeneyes.)
I found your story interesting; it kept my attention and didn't have any improbable plot turns. I was wondering if your title was influenced by an episode of Alias, the TV show, with the same name. :)
Author's Response: I\'ve never seen Alias, so no, it wasn\'t. But thanks for your imput!
Savoring Patience by Rhetor
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 35]
Summary: Harry and Ginny realize they have time.
I agree with the conclusions you came to about the end of the book, and I can really see your story happening. Also, I recognized the quote even before I immediately googled it to check, which just made the allusion better. :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Lindsey. It\'s nice to know there are other fans of romantic poetry out there. ~Ken
Harry Potter and the Next Great Battle by pokecharm
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 362]
Summary: After fighting the biggest battle of his life, Harry Potter finds himself in new, uncharted territory. Beginning a week after the final battle at Hogwarts, Harry finds himself with many choices before him. He spent the summer trying to sort out his future with Ginny and the Ministry, but now must find a way to balance both. Ginny has left for Hogwarts to complete her final year, with Hermione, and Harry is starting work as a full-fledged Auror. They both must find a way to make their long-distance relationship work. Ginny hopes to find peace at school and Harry hopes to build his life around the expectation that Ginny will be with him forever. Despite all of this, there is more to the work that Harry is doing with the Ministry then he realises. Will Gaunt prove trustworthy in these new endeavours? Will Ginny and Hermione have a horror-free year at Hogwarts?
I don't think the Weasley family is so conservative that they can barely leave Harry and Ginny alone in a room together. Reading the sections where Ron gets overprotective make me think that you have laid it on a little heavy. Otherwise, the story is interesting.
Author's Response: this was the same complaint I got before, and I think what is lacking is that I didn't describe the pressure everyone is under well enough. People over-react when one thing gets out of control, in this instance, because George is acting out, then the family will sometimes, lash out at something that should be innocuous. Given that, I think the situation is realistic.
I can't understand why you would think the Weasleys would be so conservative. I mean, even in the 90s, when the story is apparently set, conservative families would have been a little more forgiving, I think, under the stressful circumstances following the war.
Author's Response: yes, and this is the biggest bone of contention readers have. The reason I set it in this manner is because even though the '90's is what the story is set in, it isn't our '90's, it's the wizarding '90's. Do we ever see any of the older Weasely boys doing anything even close to this? never, so I think JKR would have had a very-stressed out Molly reacting strongly to this. It isn't a big part of the story, but a lot of people have felt the need to tell me how wrong I am and that's fine.
Our Little Secret by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 416]
It was like a wizard tale. The clever Slytherin helps a hag who later repays the debt. Except that Rose Weasley wasn't a hag, and Scorpius didn't expect to call in the favour.
*Winner of the 2010 Next Generation QSQ award*
I really like your story. The characters are well written and thought out. Keep it coming; I eagerly await each new installment!
Author's Response: Thank you! If you don't care about the characters you won't care what happens to them, and I want to care very, very much!
Oh, I am so sad that your story has ended. It does seem like you drew the conclusion of the fic at an unusual place. However, I trust that you will continue to write about Rose and Scorpius in the future. At least I hope so...please do! This is my favorite Rose and Scorpius fic that I have read so far. Your characters, large and small, are very well developed, rather than an elaboration on the stereotypical Romeo/Juliet, Slytherin/Gryffindor, pureblood/reformed types that some people choose to write. When I read your story, I thought it believable and entertaining, and I always anxiously awaited new installments. Good job! :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I could've ended the story right after Scorpius faced Lucius. That's what the story was leading to from the first chapter, but I wanted to show what happened afterward and also to show that Scorpius has changed. It wasn't a one time thing. He isn't going to avoid confrontation any more.
Oh, there was something else I just remembered that I wanted to share. While I felt that your characters were not stereotypical, I felt that the reactions of the Potter and Weasley families to Rose and Scorpius' relationship seemed a bit over the top. However I realize that is your vision of how far the wizarding world had gone with respect to caring about blood purity and such. I just think that, considering Ron's previous ability to reform, he would be able accept the Malfoys as good people more easily. Also that Hermione would as well; she seemed very doubtful. But anyways, still a great story!
Author's Response:
To me, over the top would have been yelling and shrieking and not giving Scorpius a chance even after the wizard handshake and all the rest of his gestures of good will. Considering everything that happened throughout the books, Fred's death, the Malfoys' former allegiances, Ron and Molly and the rest of the Weasley/Potter clan were very decent to Scorpius even if they suspected his motives at first and wanted reassurance that he was with Rose just to be with her. That's why Scorpius had that moment of realization in the manor after he found out Hermione Weasley was tortured there. He'd been treated very fairly, all things considering.
I'm so occupied with looking for a new chapter that I keep getting distracted from my end of term work. Keep writing! Keep updating! Scorpius and Rose are so perfect together; you've done a great job in writing them. I can always tell good fics when I don't get multiple feelings that the writing is really wrong or something that JKR wouldn't do. I rarely if ever have those thoughts when reading your story. :)
Author's Response: JKR isn't big on romance, so the kissing bits would definitely not be in her story, heh, but I do definitely try to be true to the characters. Every interpretation will be slightly different because every writer is different, and what fun would a bunch of identical characterizations be, but I'm happy you get good feelings and will do my best to keep the good vibes flowing! :)
Summary: It was a subtle game he played, stealthily hunting down his prey, but he was good at it - that is until he came upon the lioness. On that fateful day, the tables would be turned. The conqueror would become the conquered; the hunter would become the prey.
A sophisticated crack!fic. ^_~
While I am not a fan of your pairing here, I do think your story deserves praise for excellent style. :) Well done.
Author's Response: Callisto,
Well, I don't think I could find much better praise than that. To receive a compliment on a piece of writing about a pairing that the reviewer doesn't even like. Now /that/ is a compliment! Thank you very much. ^_^
Soldiers by dominiqueweasley
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 95]
Summary: "There are many stories between the lines." - Jo Rowling, about the Black Family Tree.
Cedrella's goal all her life has been to be the perfect Black. She has impeccable manners, commands respect, is always composed, and has never had a friend in her life. But Cedrella has a secret that is about to get a lot more complicated… Septimus is the youngest of seven Weasley brothers. His dearest wish for his seventh year at Hogwarts is to meet the mystery girl he once saw dancing in the Owlery in the dead of night… This story is a romance, but it is also a story about family, owls, and what it feels like to know you are worth something.I really like the premise of your story, and I eagerly await each new installment. However, I would suggest that you look over your story more carefully or have it beta'd, since I noticed a few small mistakes, mostly the wrong word like "an" for "and." Also, the summer solstice is generally June 20/1, not in July. Please keep updating soon!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I did realize that about the Solstice when I was writing this chapter, but I had already talked about the ball in previous chapters an to move it to June would have messed up my timeline...I just have to take a bit of creative license I guess. I'm glad you're enjoying the story, and keep reading!
Girl Talk & Goodbyes by WeasleyMom
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 17]
Summary: The wedding cake is gone; the bride and groom are honeymooning. Yet Molly Weasley cannot seem to relax and enjoy the family that lingers in the aftermath of the celebration. She knows the easy laughter they enjoy tonight will be short lived, because three teenagers are leaving in the morning with a job so serious no one will even speak its nature aloud.
Molly knows no magic that will stop morning from coming. But she can make stew and fan the flames of laughter; she can tell someone something she's been wanting to say for years. And she can hold them all while she has them.
Very nice AU. I like seeing the younger side of Molly. Also, I absolutely loved this line: "Right then," he said, slumping back into the chair. "Three cheers for anguish." Oh Harry, could he have less Frodo-syndrome?
Author's Response: I know, poor Harry. :) Glad you liked Molly in this--I've always thought she would be supportive of R/Hr. Thanks so much for the review!
Summary: Jemzi Zabini is the seventeen year old daughter of Blaise Zabini and his wife Harper, and is about to join her fellow witches and wizards at Hogwarts for their final school year. Jemzi is famous for being the once best friend of Albus Potter. However, a mysterious argument last year that only the two of them were witness to has ruined their friendship and they are now practically enemies. No one knows the reason for their fall out, only that it has caused a great divide in their friendship group.
Jemzi's best friend and Albus' cousin, Rose, suspects that their friendship expired because of strange and unwanted feelings between them. Feelings which, despite their fall out, have not gone away. Feelings that are similar to those she has for a certain Slytherin...
So can the next generation of Hogwarts students learn to forget past actions and forgive?
Nominated for "Best Next Generation Story" and "Best Other Character" in the 2010 Quicksilver Quill Awards
This story features Harry Potter, Ginny Potter, Lily Potter, Luka Krum, Blaise Zabini, Harper Zabini, Zacharias Smith, Leon Holmwood, Tristan Wells, Rose Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy, Jemzi and Albus plus many more.
I don't know whether or not I approve of your stringing out the mystery of their argument like this. Sometimes I think that it is a ploy to keep readers attached, but then I do enjoy wondering when you'll have the big reveal. Your writing does keep me on the edge of my seat with its excitement. Keep it up!
Author's Response: Arument will be revealed round about chapter ten. It's probably not even that impressive. Stay tuned though :)
How To Be Dead by MagEd
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 47]
Summary: James and Lily Potter have died, but that doesn't mean Harry is alone. They're still watching over him, and they don't intend on stopping any time soon. *one-shot*
Wow! At first, there was something about your story that seemed a little cliche; the premise is not new, for example, and I wasn't pulled in at the very beginning. However, I really liked that you had Ginny join James and Lily first. I thought that really made your story better, and made the ending much more interesting.
Author's Response: I can imagine someone might have done something like this before. I'm glad you ending was different and you enjoyed it! Thanks for the review.

Superb article......Thank you!!
Map module
The Map module leverages GPS data with none other than Google Maps to provide visual location information for your images. If your camera records GPS information, using Maps requires minimal effort. Select the geo-tagged image(s) in the filmstrip and the map automatically updates to show the location at which the image was captured. You can also import GPX tracklog data and have images automatically tagged based on date/time stamps. Once tagged, a metadata panel displays the GPS coordinates for the selected image and the map provides road, satellite, hybrid and terrain views. You can zoom in far enough to see cars on the street.
The Map module provides a visual reference of all of the locations for which your images have been tagged. Each orange pin displays the number of images tagged with that location. |
Manual geo-tagging
Smartphones aside, few photographers at this point are capturing GPS data with their images. To this end, Lightroom makes the way that most of us will begin using the Map module - by manually geo-tagging our images - a relatively simple affair.
With images selected in the Filmstrip, you can type in an address or location, just as you would in the web browser version of Google Maps (note that an Internet connection is required). A yellow search result marker is then placed on the map at that location. You can tag images with location data by dragging and dropping them from the Filmstrip anywhere on the map or by right-clicking a location on the map and setting the selected images to that location. An image pin denoting the number of images tagged with those specific GPS coordinates is then placed on the map.
You can find a location simply by typing into the Map module's search bar. | Using the map's zoom slider you can control the precision of the geo-tag for your images. |
Once you've dropped images onto the map, Lightroom automatically fills in the appropriate coordinates in the GPS metadata field. Additionaly, you can enable Lightroom to use reverse geocoding whereby it attempts - via the Google Maps engine - to fill in neighborhood, City, State, and Country information automatically based on the GPS coordinates. This feature can save a lot of typing if you're placing pins on urban cities or popular destinations. Obviously, in more remote locales, reverse geocoding will not be as accurate. This feature does involve the transfer of specific data from your computer to Google's servers. You can enable/disable the feature at any time via the Catalog Settings preferences.
Searching by location
While there's no denying the satisfaction of marking a map with all of the places you have photographed over the years, the real pleasure comes after you've tagged your images. That's because you can use the map as a search tool. Clicking on an image marker automatically makes a selection in the Filmstrip of images matching the GPS data. In addition, a small image window pops up, allowing you to scroll through thumbnails of the entire set of selected images.
Each image shown in thumbnail view becomes the 'most selected' image in the Filmstrip, allowing you to go straight to the Develop or Print modules with that image populating the main image window. |
You can create saved locations (shown below) which makes adding future images to those same coordinates fast and easy. Perhaps of equal importance though is that you can set a saved location as private.
The Private option is checked for this saved location. When exporting images associated with this saved location, none of the location data will included with the exported version. |

Back when LR3 was released I put in a feature request for a book module and there was a lot of support for my request from adobe forum members so I am happy that it made it. Also great idea to integrate with Blub but I hope there is a way for 3rd party developers to integrate with MPIX or others as well.
There were many who also asked/requested for a Calendar module as well. I am happy to see the book module (a much needed feature) but disappointed we will not also get a Calendar module. I believe for many a book and Calendar module would have been huge features. Hopefully someone will create a plug-in
Everythinh Ok, except I do not see a control to move ALL exposure up or down, just like we use aperure , speed or ISO. This is essential for me. The first rough adjustment I currently use.
Yes, there are still Aperture users out here in the real world. Which is better Aperture 3 or Lightroom 3? Answer -- assuming you have a MAC -- has a lot to do with the way you approach your "work flow" (hate that term, never heard it used in a darkroom) which can be highly personal and as well as the type of photography you are doing. I have both products (lightroom came free with my Leica) and see pluses and minuses in both. However, at $80 Aperture is by far the better bang for the buck. If you use a PC, well good luck with Lightroom because that is all you have.
Does anyone know when it is going to be released? Is it safe to install this beta beside the full version in MAC?
Apparently, the comment section of this article was continued from the Beta review article.
If you would have looked closely, you would see that his question was made months ago when the Beta was released.
Who's the idiot now???
Oops, no 32-bit support, no XP... I just saved myself some money. I guess it's 3.6 until my PC or I die.
Hey it's the year 2012. XP was released 2001 (!) and was outdated years ago. Time to get Win7
Having to change O/S because of an image editing/organising bit of software is ridiculous. It is a piece of cake to design software to deploy on different platforms if done properly. I was slowly getting into LR 3 but I won't be wasting my time any further. I did wonder about buying into Adobe and kind of expected an ongoing need to buy upgrades every now and again but never expected to have to buy a new O/S and potentially screw up my PC that is running nicely in the process.
What's worse is that Adobe will no longer make upgrades to LR3, which means that I would have to upgrade to a new OS if I buy a new camera and want to use the raw files natively. DNG Converter is okay but the files can become massive with certain cameras.
They droped 32bit support only to Macs. On windows you still can run it on 32 bit processor. But an upgrade to a Win7 is definatelly not a wast of time and money
@Dave and eNo - I hate to make this a discussion about operating systems, but saying Win7 isn't worth the upgrade from XP is like saying you hate technology, faster computers, and more efficient workflow. Holding out on XP is reserved for people that have never used an Win7 PC. The difference is starkly favorable towards Win7 in all terms of performance, speed, stability, capability, expansion, potential, and future development. Make the upgrade to Win7.
Just found out a few minutes ago that it does not support XP. I'm really surprised seeing that as of Jan. 2012, XP still makes up 32% of the market. One third of all computers are still running Windows XP. That's a bunch of computers!
Windows XP / x64 provides the entire necessary infrastructure for program development and its stability, efficiency and reliability are proven phenomenal now that Microsoft has been working on it for a decade or so. It is the de facto fastest Win platform, do the tests with similar HW and pro SW like CAD/CAM/CAE etc. or just compare simple "cold start to open document" times.
The pressure towards change is primarily about forcing sales economics and media industry driven DRM, it has nothing to do with the usability or viability of Win XP. I personally don't like waiting for the computer, so the fastest OS is the way to go. I'm using Linux besides XP in my production environment and the switchover will preferably take that route if possible.
Soft proofing and book editing will be welcome additions. I create a fair number of photo books, and it will be nice to do so from within the LR interface so I don't have to browse for or import images.
My only concern is that this will be the Lightroom version that finally demands that I upgrade my modest computer. More modules will demand more memory. On the one hand I hate to see LR get even more bloated than it already is, but on the other hand the reason I love the workflow is because I can accomplish almost everything I want to do from within a single application that always has access to my catalog. It's probably time for me to upgrade the computer anyway...
Just wanted to comment on the preview here itself - very well written, very complete and clear. Well done.
Having worked professionally with LR since the first beta I think the team deserve for listening to users and finally getting soft proofing into the app. This was one of the major gripes for me. However...
I've just found a new gripe to replace it. If you've got a lens that has a profile defined for it and the chromatic corrections are accurate then your going to be happy BUT if you have a lens that isn't profiled and requires a manual correction for chromatic corrections then it looks like you're out of luck. The sliders have disappeared from the manual section altogether so no manual correction can be dialled-in. Please Adobe give us back the manual chromatic adjustments!
Any just in case you're wondering it's the Nikon 28-105 lens that I'm very fond of and know many other photographers enjoy using on the D700 and D3 bodies.
I'd like to hear a reply to a question already asked: Where is the option to linearly shift the tonal range, aka ISO, or LR3 exposure? I use it a lot because I prefer to underexpose on purpose rather than increase the camera's ISO, at least with the most recent Sony sensors.
Thank you Amadou for this very detailed write up; it's much more helpful and informative than the information I received from Adobe.
Totally agree. Amadou, a great job as always. I played with the beta a little yesterday and now I understand things a lot better.
The most helpful, clear, concise explanation yet -- and perfectly targeted to cover what Beta users need to know. Thanks!!!
Wow, RGB curves, finally! Highlight recovery with (seemingly) much less colour skewing! Geotagging with track import! I might have to abandon XP after all this time.
PS: Good review, thanks.
When will they add real fullscreen picture preview. Picture fills to the entire screen, you can use hotkeys to move through your library and mark pictures. Really simple thing that almost every picture displaying program has. Best you can do leaves a large GUI "bezel" around the screen.
Would like to see support for multiple users. This is a big problem for multiple computer users and studios.
I have solved it at home by putting the catalog with all the pictures and not storing it on the computer. But would be nice to have multiple users/computers access same catalog at the same time.
Also would like to not have to use PADDY to get keyboard adjustment. Would like the facial recognition too.
But those are all wishes, and this looks like a really nice update.
Like being able to move multiple folders at the same time.
The new local adjustment features sound great, but let's not forget that one could already do most of that in LR3.
For example, local WB is performed by choosing the color you want to shift the local area towards. If the local area is too cool, you would simply select an orangy color and brush it on. If it's too warm, you would brush on a bluish color, and so on. It's like using a CC or 8xA/B/C series filter for your lens to match tungsten/daylight/FL lighting to your film/flash/etc or gelling your lights/windows. Might be complicated for those not used to this, but it's second nature to those who are used to dealing with mixed light sources with film.
Local NR is definitely a welcome addition, as it was a lot harder to implement without a dedicated slider, but you could still brush on a combination of negative clarity and sharpness with brightness/contrast adjustments to "hide" the noise in areas of uniform tone and structure. Still, i'd rather have the local NR slider.
Thanks for the review! Good work!
Is there any information available weather Adobe plans to release some film imitating curve adjustments, or perhaps general Lr presets? I don't mean something as comical as someone's film presets available at forums or some more general plugins including poor attempts to reproduce film looks like the ones from Nik or Imagenomic, what I mean is something more serious - like the work Raw Photo Processor developers did in scanning and analyzing thousands of images to be able to reproduce a really good film look at RAW level with supreme IQ. Or perhaps there are some 3rd party options...?
Have a great day/evening!
I am sorry to see that there is no answer to my question at DPR.
Dont care about books, maps or video but otherwise looks to be a must have release.
Looks good so far. Love the geo-tagging. Great summary (typical DPReview greatness) that led to as many good questions as provided answers. But, with 4b downloading in the background, I'll soon know the answers.
Will be interesting to see how presets translate (or don't).
One major omission: facial recognition. I know it's considered a noob feature and Adobe won't get into it until it can be done really well. Not everyone will use it, but for those of us with thousands of pictures of some of the people in the library it would be amazing.
Here's something I didn't get:
Imagine that you have a saved preset that had a value of contrast of +35 (that was just +10 than the default's +25 from Lightroom 3). Right? Now, when using it on Lightroom 4, will this same preset be adding +35 to the contrast, or just the correct +10 (which was the original intention)??
Hope I was clear enough.
When updating PV2010 images with manual slider values to PV2012 Lr uses not identical numbers but tries to transpose them to an 'appropriate' value. But your image will undoubtedly look different.
Thanks for the reply, although I don't think updating an old image is the point here (or maybe I didn't completely understand your answer).
I'm talking about a fresh new raw file, opened only on LR4: in that case, will an old preset work correctly?
It's probably not that big an issue and they surely thought about it, but I was curious about that specific case.
Presets created in PV2010 will behave as I described with manual adjustments made in PV2010 when applying them to PV2012 images. it's going to be the rare image that looks indistinguishable in both process versions with a PV2010 preset applied. You're going to end up making new presets for PV2012 images. Unavoidable as even the tools common to both versions work differently.
Best recommendation is to use 2012 primarily on newly imported images or ones you have not edited yet. If it already looks great in PV2010, leave it alone.
Also after playing around with it, it looks like you can convert PV2010 images to PV2012. When you do it you have the option of viewing the old and new image side by side.
At that point you can decide if you want to proceed with PV2012 or stay with PV2010.
You mention the fill light option is being removed. What is it being changed to? Would I up the highlights instead?
Anyone? Please? This is important to me because its the feature I use the most in Lightroom...
That is a good question... I will miss the "Fill light" option and the simple "Brightness" as well.
I managed to find some info http://forums.adobe.com/message/4128170#4128170 and http://tv.adobe.com/watch/whats-new-in-lightroom-4-beta/develop-module-advancements/
You would simply increase the Shadows slider, thus brightening your shadows. But, unlike "Fill Light", the effect would be much more clearly limited to the shadow areas, which in general is desirable. If you want an image to be brighter overall, you would increase exposure or Whites. You really have to try the new controls, they are - in my limited experience thus far - quite nice and a definite improvement.
In LR's favor, I will say that local WB and NR are features I'd like to see in Aperture. Even so, I think I read that LR uses Noise Ninja tech, and I find that Topaz Labs' NR is much better. Oh, and for those of you pining for a heal brush, Aperture has both heal ("retouch") and clone brushes with both auto- and user-selected source, find edges, and variable brush size and feathering. And, while Aperture doesn't have layers, it achieves similar results by enabling brushing on of most any adjustment, post-selection variation of strength (think "layer opacity"), and multiple iterations of any adjustment (think "multiple layers").
OK, sorry, I'm a die-hard Aperture fan. I think the UI is cleaner and more efficient, and it makes my high-volume editing & post-production of event work a snap. I'll pipe down now.
In the end though it is the final results that counts and that is where Lightroom has always one over Aperture. It gets more out of files.
When you look at Lightroom 3 compared to Aperture 3 Aperture lacks the most basic of brushes which is 'exposure'. It's nearest brush is a combination of brightness/exposure and the results from that are not as good.
It will be interesting to see if Apple respond to Lightroom 4 and if so how. Very hard to tell at the moment after the mess they have made of the Final Cut update. Will they dumb down Aperture as well?
What, exactly, are you referring to when you say that LR "gets more out of files"? I'd be interested to know the results if you've actually done a careful comparison. I haven't, so I don't make those kinds of blanket assertions. And, I kind of doubt that you have, either, given that the "brightness/exposure" brush you mention doesn't exist. So, let's talk about what we know rather than what we believe. It is true that in Aperture you can't brush on adjustments made in the White Balance or Exposure bricks. Those are the only two, though. And, if, as you say, it is the final results that counts, then this is of no consequence. Every other adjustment can be brushed in or out, in multiple iterations (i.e. "adjustment layers"). If I want to adjust luminance or contrast in an area, I can brush in or out a Curves, Contrast or Levels adjustment. Likewise with color, sharpness, definition ("clarity"), highlights & shadows, and even vignette & devignette.
Jeff, in an earlier post, Fixx implied that LR has only a clone tool, not a healing brush. Is this not correct? I'd expect it to have both, so I was surprised by the post. AP certainly has both.
I did not say it was called a brightness/exposure brush. What it does is a combination of this and it is called the Dodge Brush. It does not just increase the exposure and therefore can leave what you could describe as a halo effect sometimes. This is because it is also increasing brightness. This is a known issue in Aperture 3 and comes up in forums very often. The fact that it does not just effect exposure does have a consequence. To be able to control exposure with a brush is the most important brush a lot of photographers will need in software.
Are there any changes to the sharpen and noise reduction features? I ask as I cannot see any mention of them in the review.
Kind of surprised there's still no facial recognition for tagging.
I agree. This would be my number one feature request. Even if it wasn't perfect.
I agree, even if its not perfect like the one in Picasa it will save alot of time
I was expecting more. Most of the new features have been in Aperture 3 for over a year. Separate point-curve adjustments for R, G & B channels? Old news. Book layouts and built-in ordering? Old news. Soft proofing? Very old news. Geolocation? Old news. And, some of the changes to adjustment tools seem to be substituting an algorithm's judgement for the user's. I don't love the auto highlight recovery - I'll make that decision, thank you very much. Making the exposure adjustment target the midtones rather than shift the entire tonal range takes away control. I often use exposure, highlight recovery, brightness and black point adjustments in tandem to finely control overall brightness and contrast. The new approach seems like it's been dumbed down for tyros. Also, when viewing a single image, Adobe still wastes screen real estate with a preview image. Why? Honestly, with Aperture available for $80, I don't see why DPR hasn't reviewed it, or why any Mac user would bother with Lightroom.
You're free, of course to use any raw editor you want, but you're making incorrect assumptions about the PV2012 changes. Take a few of your PV2010 images, reset them to their defaults in PV2012 and try the new Basic panel tools, in order. Yes, its a new workflow to learn, but once you do it's arguably faster, more intuitive and you're not giving up any control, especially when you can fine-tune with the Tone Curve.
So, if I want to blow out the highlights, do the Basic panel tools provide a way to do it? That's pretty basic. Sorry, but for an old fart like me who cut his teeth on slide film, having an "exposure" adjustment not mimic the effect of varying the camera's ISO, aperture or shutter speed (i.e. shifting the entire tonal range in a linear manner) just seems counterintuitive. Hasn't Adobe effectively removed the old exposure adjustment and renamed the brightness adjustment "exposure"?
That is simple to answer more, pro Mac users use Lightroom because the tools are better and produce better results.
If you mean the preview image on the left, just turn it off if you don't want it.
If you're not going to cite specific examples, all I can say is that's not my experience, or that of my business partner, a 20-year veteran who migrated to Aperture after using Lightroom for years. To cite one specific example of better tools, he found Aperture's Highlights & Shadows tool much more flexible and effective, not only for recovering highlights and shadows, but also for managing midtone contrast. As for results, doing color-critical art reproduction work for a book to accompany an exhibition at a major New York museum, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Aperture's default profiles yielded more accurate color than ACR, even after using an Xrite Color Checker Passport to generate a custom profile. Sure, it's nice to have the option to use custom profiles in ACR, an option that Aperture doesn't provide. But, if the results aren't better, what's the point?
I have been using Lightroom for professional work since the first beta came out and like many I still find highlight recovery to be more effective in Lightroom compared to Aperture. I do a lot of theatre production photography and and the difference has been quite noticeable. Even my local Apple store staff photography specialist who do pro work on the side prefer to use Lightroom for similar reasons. On the print side files that I have given to clients for use in books and well printed magazines on good paper stock have matched without any problems. Only time there has been problems in that area for me the cause has always lead back to the printers.
Not having tested both, I couldn't compare the effectiveness of highlight recovery in LR vs AP. Have you done same-image comparisons with current versions of both apps? My biz partner, who works with AP but still putters with LR, prefers the color from his D700 NEFs with AP. Again, I haven't done the kind of careful tests that would qualify me to compare IQ. What I do know is that I find AP's interface cleaner, and most of LR's "new" features are things I've been working with for a long time. As far as print matching goes, that's really more a matter of soft proofing (AP v1.0+) and good monitor calibration.
Majikthize, if you want to blow out highlights, push the Whites slider to the right.
Thank you for preview.
Curve tool looks promising. As good as in Photoshop?
When you explain work flow in basic adjusting, many of us rather set black and white point first, and mid tones after. Mid tones are handled by brightness&contrast; which in practice means curve elevation & S shape. Not sure if adding sliders will help (as there is already overlap in highlight recovery tools: whites and hightlights seem both to affect recovery). I guess this is a matter of taste and these tools work ok.
Have they done anything to HSL tools? Color manipulation has been subpar with that tool. It is impossible to target and change exact colours in image as there are no adjustment in targeting. Photoshop is here way ahead. Now, make HSL adjustable as in Photoshop and add darkness slider to target dark/mid/light ends of histogram. That would be state of art.
Heal tool! Really, there is no reason not to include it instead of simple clone. Should heal also missing edge pixels created by in distortion correction tools.
Web gallery plugins? We need one with HTML5 slideshow and one with simple namelist (without thumbnail), preferably with search function (like, having a list of 1000 persons and you can go to right name and fetch image). + www-commenting option for visitors in galleries. Third party plugins would be fine.
HDR and panos may be better handled by third parties. Please encourage them make LR plugins for their applications.
These 9 plug-ins for Lightroom all use HTML5. You might find one of these meet your needs.
You're not going to be happy or working efficiently if you start by setting your endpoints first. The Lr workflow has always been somewhat different than a Curves-based Ps workflow. And in v4 you really, really, really want to use the tools in the order they're presented.
Don't confuse use of the Tone Curve with the role of Ps Curves. In Lr you achieve much of what you used Curves for in Ps with the Basic panel sliders. Tone Curve is for fine-tuning those results or, as I wrote in the preview, to make more creative adjustments.
It's always been important with Lightroom from from Lightroom 1 to do things in the order they are listed to get the best out of the files.
Out of interest what happens with old presets with contrast settings built into them when you use them with Lightroom 4?
I am salivating for the new features and localized options... but the video and book enhancements are going to be a big jump in the learning curve :P
On video is it possible like you can with photos to copy settings you have made to one clip to another clip?
Also if you had a still from the footage you had adjusted in 'Develop' could you then copy those adjustments over in the 'library' module to a video clip? That way you could make adjustments smaller than a third of a stop of exposure for example.
It says you can also apply split toning to video. How do you do that if you can't access the 'Develop' module? Is there a new setting in the library module that we can't see in the screen shots?
The things you want to do are possible if you use presets. Grab a still from the video, open it in the Develop module, make your changes, then save them as a preset. Go back to any video and apply your preset. It will be in the User Presets submenu.
Thanks for getting back Amadou. That is useful to know and easy to do. I don't suppose you know where the split tones settings are for video?
Best preview I have seen so far as you go into more depth than other websites.
GPS support.. finally!!!
the new version looks great. the best just got better.
im happy that they don´t waste time for HDR.
80% of all HDR images are crap anyway that only the creators like.
and there are great tools for HDR already.
same for panoramas.. if you really want to do panos you have to go for autopano or ptgui.
these features can be implemented when all others are perfected.
GPS on the other side is a crucial feature for a IMAGE MANAGEMENT solution today. great that adobe finally put it into LR.
Good preview thanks.
I may have missed it but is this a paid or free upgrade (to the finished version)?
Update from 2 to 3 was $99 / £90 if I remember correctly. The soft proofing tool (especially the "Create New VC" option) makes me willing to hand over the money asap, but I believe it will be 4-6 months before the beta goes live.
Thanks, I thought it would be a paid upgrade, still LR is the best I've found
If they could only improve the Clone brush so that it works more like the one in Elements. The one in Lightroom is so cumbersome and difficult to use accurately.
I was quite surprised not to see that included. Hopefully in the final version. If no other magic, at least movements must be allowed instead of spot fixing.
well adobe want to sell photoshop and elements.
you will not get all features you want into LR... that would be pretty stupid from adobes point of view.
i own photoshop so i don´t need cloning in LR.
i dont even use the brush functions in LR often.
local adjustments are done way better in photoshop.
i don´t think that will change.
Henry, OK, to follow the logic, then LR must not have a host of tools it does have.
I would rate a proper healing and clone brush tool - be it content aware or a simpler version - a feature way above WB brush. The lack of it is just annoying and makes me look away towards Aperture. I am sure I am not alone.
Plus one. I find that those circular clone tools are a pain. I wish they would come in the form of a brush too, or that you have the option between choosing the circular tool (good for dust elimination) and a brush healing/cloning tool.
The good:
Better highlight recovery, new and more aggressive clarity algorithm, plays nice with video finally and I'm going to use the crud out of the added localized adjustments options. Thanks Kost, good work.
The ok: Maps. Some pros may use this, but the day I look at a beach shot and not know which beach it was is the day I have assistants doing all this for me. Books. Fab, but Blurb has BookSmart already, and you cannot make custom layouts(?!).
The not so good:
Same clunky grey modular UI with pop ups from all four sides that never ever behave the way you expect. STILL no keyboard shortcuts for adjustments (sorry, but I'm not paying over $600 for RPG Keys.) We have books and maps but no HDR and no panorama. I'd wear out the HDR button if you'd just give me one.
Overall, a net gain with some reservations. UI notwithstanding Lr still gives Aperture a good spanking.
What is the spanking given to Aperture then? All the new features seem to be coming straight from Aperture, and you don't mention any other features that spank Aperture.
Get a logitech gaming keyboard and PADDY (which will need an update for LR4)
Hey Neil2112-
Great news! In LR4 Beta, you can use the Print module to effectively create your own, custom templates. View the 7:14 mark in the following video. It's a bit of a work-around, but if you aren't able to find a template you like (there's a ton of them), you have a way around the limit within the program.
Disclaimer: I am a Blurb employee.
Does soft proofing allow the result of converting the image to the sRGB colourspace to be previewed? In Lightroom 3, the histograms are unhelpfully based on the much larger ProPhoto colourspace, so images can be silently clipped in sRGB with no warning on the histogram to help you out.
EDIT: Tried out the beta. Yes, it does! Woohoo! No more clipped reds on my red flower photos!
Thanks for checking that out - much appreciated! Saturation shifts when exporting jpegs as sRGB (as viewed on my sRGB calibrated monitor) have been my number one gripe with LR. Good to know this is - at last - fixed.
I am trusting that the Templates in Book creation are stated here as fixed, uneditable. I'll wait for a version that allows far better than this. I will never use a "fixed" template
The templates are fixed, but adjustable. For example, you can add paddings to images and text to image layouts. You can set your images to fit an image container or fill an image container - and then optionally zoom in/out and pan the image around the container. There's a lot you can do.
All of that said, as I mentioned to another DPReview member in this thread, there's a work-around using the Print module in LR4 to effectively create your own, uniquely you layouts. Check out timecode 7:14 in the following tutorial video.
Disclaimer: I am a Blurb employee.
Is printing available to anyone outside of the U.S, you know; "the rest of the world"?
In this, as in any other template "print on demand" service, you can always create your own designs using whatever software you like, and then export a flattened image to be printed full page. Not optimal, but it works.
Well it can't do everything and given how much HDR sucks in Photoshop I can't see it's a bad thing.
Agreed HDR is awfull in PS, but a exposure blending or layer stack would be very nice!!
I use photo matrix as plugin in LR3. I've used it for years. I think it's great.
Looks great, downloading the beta as I write to try all those cool features.
I was hoping for a content-aware spot healing brush though.
Yes, that is a glaring disadvantage of LR for me. Spot tool is such a pain to use when trying to clone except for dust.
This preview was a lot of work and to the point. Kudos to all who worked on it.
Great set of enhancements and additions. I've been wanting a localised WB and NR brush for ages. Hopefully detail slider in sharpening is less aggressive.
Thanks for such a good preview. Some very interesting and cool new functionality.
Some great stuff here: soft proofing, local adjustment of white balance, updated / improved "Basic" functionality :) Can't wait to try it.

Reviews for Pizza Pasta Casserole(33)
Sort By :
I didn't get to eat this as I made them both as a gift for a new Mama of 3! It looks fantastic though and I heard it was great :) http://heatskitchen.blogspot.com/2014/01/pizza-pasta-casserole.html
The kids love it as well as the adults. I love that it makes two casseroles so you can freeze one for a later date!
My family liked this casserole, and it reheated from frozen very well also. In future batches I may add more veggies, more pepperoni or some sausage... it seemed it could do with just a little something more. It's one that I'll make again, though. Also, I agree with previous reviews that it doesn't need quite so long in the oven, 20-25 min. would be sufficient.
This was very good! The only thing I would change is to put the pepperoni in the casserole instead of on top. Think it would give it more of a pepperoni taste. Overall - great dish!
I made this tonight to take to some new neighbors that just moved into the neighborhood and a friend that was just home after surgery. I did end up adding some green peppers and some fresh garlic. It smelled and looked wonderful and can't wait to try it myself. Thanks for posting the recipe!

Demand 5 is the brand name of video on demand services offered by Channel 5 in the United Kingdom. The service, which was previously known as 'Five Download', went live on 26 June 2008.[1]
As Five Download the service offered Windows Media Video format downloads of the US imports CSI, House and Grey's Anatomy. Individual episodes of them could be 'rented' with some episodes available 7 days before they appear on TV.
More varied content from Channel 5's programming has become available since June 2008 with a wider prevalence of free content offered for 30 days after broadcast. In January 2009, Demand 5 began to offer content in the Flash Video format, allowing users with Apple Macintosh computers to access their content.[2]
Web platforms[edit]
Demand 5 website[edit]
Demand 5 is the main source of on demand programs from Channel 5, 5* and 5USA.[3] It offers a 7 day catch-up service as well as an archive of shows from the past.[4]
Demand 5 launched on Facebook in August 2010, becoming the first television network in the world to embed its programming into the social networking site.[5]
Demand 5 had been available on SeeSaw since the launch of the service, with access to Demand 5's archive of shows such as Cowboy Builders, Fifth Gear, Home and Away, Neighbours and many more.[6] In September 2011, all Demand 5 content was removed from SeeSaw.[7]
In February 2010, Demand 5 launched on TV.com with around 250 hours of archive content as well as catch-up.[8] This represented the first major deal for long-form content in Europe for TV.com. As part of the deal, advertising is sold by CBS Interactive.
Demand 5 is also partly available on YouTube, launching in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2009.[9] Demand 5's catch-up content reaches YouTube shortly after TV transmission and users are able to browse 250 hours of the broadcaster's archive content.
Television platforms[edit]
BT Vision[edit]
Demand 5 launched on BT Vision on 7 October 2008.[10] Demand 5 was removed from BT Vision on 6 October 2010,[11] although the two companies continued discussions in a bid to reinstate the service, having previously stalled during contract renegotiations.[12] The service returned to BT Vision in May 2011.
Demand 5 is available as part of Freesat's second generation Free Time guide, having been added on 6 August 2013, offering the last seven days of programming integrated to the TV guide.[13]
On 26 July 2013, Now TV released a Now TV-branded Roku streaming box, including a Demand 5 app.[14] Three days after the release of the Now TV Box, Roku added Demand 5 to its own range of streaming devices.[15]
On 26 July 2012, it was announced that Demand 5 would be added to On Demand later in the year.[16] The service was made available on 26 September 2012.

Great Pastry Mat
I've looked at several pastry mats and they all fell short of being well designed until this one. It has it all. A smooth non stick surface, a non skid backing, and really well designed surface. All the size rounds you would need, the ruler across the top and bottom for measuring bar cookies and rectangles of pastry. The equivalents info and temperature conversions are another plus. And a sturdy storage tube. Every thing I wanted in a pastry mat and more. A great product.
I recommend this product. -
Pastry Mat
What I like the most about this product, over others that I looked at, is that it sticks to the counter. It also has all of the measurements on the side that is a quick reference, especially to new bakers. I bought mine as a gift for my daughter. She has always watched me roll out pie crusts and has not done any herself. This mat is ideal for her and gives her the measurement that she needs when she is rolling out dough to fit her pie dish.
I recommend this product. -
Pastry Mat for Rolling Dough
This pastry mat had a very strong plastic smell when I first received it. I washed it with dish soap and put it on my table under my table cloth and left it there for a week. The smell is gone and also the mat doesn't curl up on me. I have used it mainly for rolling out bread dough, but this will be perfect for pastry as well. As long as you don't put back in the plastic tube it comes in, it works fine. This is a great deal for the price!
I recommend this product.

The only suggestion I have to the manufacturer would be to make the mat a bit larger - I like having a bit more space above and below the circle of dough to better enable me to keep a mess off my table while working on the mat.

Hi guys, I very rarely surf so I'm thinking about selling my board depending on how much it's worth. I literally have no idea how much it would go for so I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough figure?
The logo on the board says "The Dogz Bollox Surfboards"
Also says:
" 6'-3" x 19 1/4" Shaped by The Gill
6oz x 6oz peek
6oz bottom. "
What this means I have no idea.
I can post pics later tonight if needed.

Just think.One can be registered in every district in every state.And whether you actually show up at the polls or not your vote will be counted.Just like now.
I thought any kind of voter registration was ´racist´ according to Holder!
My experience in California has pretty much been to walk in and vote, unless you go at rush hour morning or evening.Still, I´d support keeping the polls open over three days - though WITH requirement for ID, otherwise more open time would just be more fraud.Also, I´d severely limit absentee ballots, which I presume are more often filled out by party operatives than by voters.
Why stop there we should have all ballots pre-selected for Demoncrats. That way the Obamazombies can just stay home glued to the latest episode of Honey boo boo.
Think about it. We normally have say 40-60% turnout for any given election.Imagine how many people you could cast ballots for who never show up...?
How ´bout Automatic Firearms Registration, Eric?
I wonder if they had to show an ID to get into the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library for this speech?
Why not let them also register a permenant vote as well? Just have a box in the registration form that can be checked: "Always Democrat", and have the voting done automatically, for you! Now that´s "progressive!Let the "voting" be renewed automatically every year, or permanently. Think of the "savings". You could win every time with ´prevotes´. Cancel the election. Obama´s already won! O´h Happy Day!.
Like Truman´s daughter. Attention must be paid.
Can we do the same for gun registration? After all, it is a Constitutional right.
And only the Democrats should have the mailing list. Woe to America!
We already have it - as long as you agree to vote Democrat.
I have an idea: why don´t dispense with this faux "holiday" known as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and instead make election day a national holiday?Why is the simple act of registering to vote so immensely difficult and chaotic for some people? Are people really this stupid, or is it just the Democrats hoping that they are?
Voter registration is reserved to the States, Bozo!
Automatic voting to follow.
Why don´t we just fine people $500 if they don´t vote, why stop at halfacre solutions?This is just anothe ploy to pack up the voter fraud...
It makes it easier to create voters out of whole cloth! Will they do that anyway!
Apparently our esteemed Attorney General does not know the US Consitution.The registration policies and procedures for voters, the method, manner and location of voting, and the validation of eligible voters are ALL STATE RESPONSIBILITIES.Other than mandating eligibility to vote at 18 years of age, and the dates of national elections, the US Government HAS NO SAY.So shaddup, Holder, you racist communist.
On registration the Devil lives in the details.But leave it up to the states. A national system just means more power is given to Washington. The next step would be federal control of the polling places and of vote counting.We know what Stalin said about votes. Varying it a little; If you control voting you win the election.
I don´t know who is the bigger horse´s butt, Holder or Obama. I think it´s a tie. They are both dangerous and a threat to everything that is America. Can America survive four more years of these two Democrat boobs? Voting privileges will be determined by each of the states. There are currently too many people casting votes that have no business anywhere near a voting booth.
This is one of the most stupid things coming out of this corrupt communists mouth. Voting is a right and as with all rights, there are responsibilities. For voting, those responsibilities are to register, to learn what the issues are, to know where your voting place is and vote. What this donkey and his party wants is simply the vote for their candidate and to have the people as uninformed and irresponsible as possible, for only in that way do they win. So far they are being successful, but they want a fool proof system
Holder (and his master, Obama) don´t care about no stinkin´ Constitution. The prefer to make up the rules as they go along, to ensure that they´ll be in power forever. This includes the right of the states to determine their own election laws.
Why not change election Day to April 15th. That way, you can vote when you are on your way out of the tax preparer`s office, right after they tell you you didn`t pay enough....
If people can´t bother to register, they must not care about voting. Also, when people move, they need to re-register so the votes count in the right state, district, etc.
And your vote will be automatic too!The only change I want to see is election day moved to the first Tuesday after April 15th.

U. Z. Ijaz, R. W. Prager, A. H. Gee, and G. M. Treece.
March 2010
This work is concerned with registration of ultrasound volumes acquired using a mechanically swept 3D probe to produce extended-field-of-view images. While the registration can be achieved by attaching a position sensor to the probe, this can be an inconvenience in a clinical setting and aligns the volumes incorrectly if there is tissue motion due to subject movement or respiratory motion. The objective of this work is to replace the 6 degree of freedom (DOF) sensor with a combination of 3 DOF image registration and an unobtrusively integrated inertial sensor for measuring orientation. We aim to produce a highly reliable system that is able to register a pair of volumes very quickly, making it suitable for clinical use. As such, this is an extension of our previous work and provides further results for a fast implementation of the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm using reslices. Additionally, we provide some results for a voxel-array based multiresolution search algorithm. The multiresolution approach has a more complete coverage of the search space at the expense of speed and is more exhaustive in comparison to the Nelder-Mead Simplex algorithm. With similar reliability statistics for the two algorithms, both are possible candidates for a clinical system.
If you have difficulty viewing files that end '.gz'
which are gzip compressed, then you may be able to find
tools to uncompress them at the gzip
web site.
If you have difficulty viewing files that are in PostScript, (ending
or '.ps.gz'
), then you may be able to
find tools to view them at
the gsview
web site.
We have attempted to provide automatically generated PDF copies of documents for which only PostScript versions have previously been available. These are clearly marked in the database - due to the nature of the automatic conversion process, they are likely to be badly aliased when viewed at default resolution on screen by acroread.

RS Components distributes sometimes cool and sometimes boring electronic and industrial components.
Last week I attended Responsys Interact 2013 and listened to Harriet Mitchell, Ecommerce Behavioural Marketing Manager at RS Components.
Later that day, RS Components won the Email category at The Digitals, and so I thought I'd share the how, what and why.
