E.V. Peterson: 'Irresponsible' city
Monday, January 24, 2011
To the editor:
This is regarding Craig, the city of no sidewalks.
I, like Ms. Rohrich, am gravely concerned that our school children have to walk to school on the streets.
I observe, on a daily basis, children, joggers, walkers, etc., struggling to use streets that have no sidewalks to get around on.
I have lived in many communities, some smaller, some larger than Craig. All of them have sidewalk ordinances, except Craig.
Why is there no concern for the safety of our pedestrians?
Why are there no sidewalks required in this city?
It is a travesty that there is such a lack of concern for the safety of our walking residents.
One of these days, a child is going to be killed and I hope the parents sue the pants off of, not only the driver, but the irresponsible city of Craig!

Even in the places where there are sidewalks, very few that get cleared of snow. This also forces people to walk in the street.
I want to hear how much moaning there will be when someone's child gets hit by a car on the way to school or the bus because a property owner was too lazy to clear the sidewalks on their property.
Don't say it can't happen we just had a local death because that person was walking in the street.
It is past time for the City of Craig to require all sidewalks cleared of snow, if there is a law of that nature in effect, then it needs to be enforced before we need to have another funeral.

Bhakti Charu Swami is from a Bengali family and spent most of his early childhood in urban Kolkata. He met with Srila Prabhupada at the end of 1976 after a long and intense search for a spiritual teacher. This initial meeting resulted in Bhakti Charu Swami being assigned to translate the books of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust into the Bengali language. Subsequently, he became a member of the Governing Body Commission of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and served as the Chairman of the Governing Body in 1989. In 1996, His Holiness took on the mammoth task of making a biographical video epic on the life of his spiritual master, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada.
Quotes by His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami
Working For Krishna
Working for Krishna is the ultimate perfection of all our activities.
Why Are We Struggling
We are struggling because we have deliberately rejected our Supreme father and we want to become independent.
Getting Krishna
The ultimate goal of Bhakti is to get Krishna and we get it by taking shelter of the holy name.
Wonder of the Lord's Lotus Feet
Lotus feet of Lord are so wonderful that whoever takes shelter under them immediately becomes purified.
Spiritual nature is inconceivable and unlimited. Therefore, the activities of that realm will always remain beyond our mental speculation and intellectual concept.
Understanding the Scriptures
Always make an endeavour to study the scriptures and understand them.
The Most Important Aspect of Preaching
The most important aspect of preaching is to take care of the person very nicely.
Transcending Material Nature
The only way to transcend material nature is to do everything for Krishna.
The Magnanimity of Devotees
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is more magnanimous than Lord Krishna but the devotees are even more magnanimous than Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
The Mercy of The Vaishnavas and Lord Krishna
Our own endeavours can only take us to a certain level but ultimate goal will be attained only by the mercy of Vaishnavas and mercy of Krishna.

Note: In lieu of an abstract, this is an excerpt from the first page.
Excerpt: On being promoted to a personal chair in 1993 I chose the title of Professor of Informatics, specifically acknowledging Donna Haraway's definition of the term as the "technologies of information [and communication] as well as the biological, social, linguistic and cultural changes that initiate, accompany and complicate their development" [1]. This neatly encapsulated the plethora of issues emanating from these new technologies, inviting contributions and analyses from a wide variety of disciplines and practices. (In my later work Thinking Informatically [2] I added the phrase "and communication".) In the intervening time the word informatics itself has been appropriated by those more focused on computer science, although why an alternative term is needed for a well-understood area is not entirely clear. Indeed the term is used both as an alternative term and as an additional one—i.e. "computer science and informatics". [...]

The beautiful thing about planning a Nassau/Paradise Island vacation are the year-round, mild temperatures from 70 to 80 degrees and ocean-cooling trade winds served daily.
Mid-December to mid-April is the most popular time to visit with rates at a peak and holiday crowds (Christmas, Easter and the Bahamian Junkanoo). Mid-May through November brings the rainy season, with hurricane season quick to follow from June through November.
Some perfect travel windows are in May, and between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when humidity and rates are low, hurricanes are mostly out of sight and crowds dissipate, leaving more room for star treatment on a budget.

Pokemon crossover game and 3DS top Japan chart
Pokemon Company's crossover of Pokemon and Tecmo Koei's Nobunaga's Ambition series leads the Japanese all-formats chart in its debut week.
The DS title sold 172,027 copies, enough to beat two fellow new entries, Sega's Shining Blade and Namco Bandai's Madoka Magika Portable, both for PSP.
The PS3 version of Mass Effect 3 is another notable debutant, narrowly charting at number 20 with 8,000 units sold, Andriasang reports.
On the hardware front the platform running order is unchanged from last week. 3DS sold 64,017 units, more than twice as many as its nearest rival PS3, while Vita sales remain just above 10,000 for the third week running, trailing PSP by over 8,500 units.

Everyone has talked about how the original iPod earbuds aren't very good. Is this because the frequency response is not good, or is it because the earbuds don't fit most normal people's ears? If the latter is the case, then these products will be very popular. I currently own a set of EX71 black, but it would be nice to have my old earbuds back.

Very nice indeed, but….. $19.99??!?
Posted by cheapy on August 27, 2004 at 10:19 AM (CDT)
i'd try it for $19….
too bad i gave away my earbuds to my sister after i bought good headphones.
oh well.
while this a nice effort to make the stock earbuds half way decent, i wish more companies would start making white headphones.
Posted by travis on August 27, 2004 at 10:25 AM (CDT)
These look like a more expensive version of the SlicSound earpieces, which come in three sizes, are left-right specific…and aren't worth it, IMO. Waste of 15 bucks.

I love the ear buds. I long ago lost the black foam they give you to make them a bit mor comfortable. I think the bigest complaint is that everyone's ears are different. honestly, I have a few other basic headphones that I tried with my iPod and none sounded as good as the bud. I'll get these for sure…
Posted by starbird on August 27, 2004 at 10:38 AM (CDT)
these so look liek they are worth it, but they are wicked expensive w/shipping. Anyone know of another place to order them from… i dont really care about the carrying case.

Posted by dave chappelle on August 27, 2004 at 10:51 AM (CDT)
just buy the sonys for 40 or the apple in ears for 40. Spend 20 on this and a week later loose one of the pieces and you are screwed. This is almost as lame as macs.
Posted by macs are lame on August 27, 2004 at 11:07 AM (CDT)
This sounds like a pretty neat idea. I've heard that the headphones that come with the iPod are pretty good, with the exception of the lack of fit. I'm one of those people whose ears don't fit the supplied headphones. I have a bit of cartilege that make the supplied headphones truly painful. I bought some cheaper maxell headphones, but they have a weird rattle.
The Apple-deluxe headphones were tempting, but expensive. This sounds like a much cheaper alternative to those, and provided they fit comfortably, I'd be inclined to buy a set of these.
Shipping to Canada is expensive, tho. I'll wait for it to show up in some of the stores around here.

You can't make crap sound any better than the crap it is.
Posted by P on August 27, 2004 at 11:37 AM (CDT)
So they charge as much as a passable set of earbuds for some clipons? For $10 I'd have given them a try, but at $20 for some plastic and silicon I think I'd just as soon put that money towards some actual product.
Posted by Code Monkey on August 27, 2004 at 11:51 AM (CDT)
Blah, the worst idea ever. The sound of the iPod buds wasn't that bad, but come on, imagine how much those things stick out of your ear! Buy EX71 if you want in-ear buds.
Posted by Jussi on August 27, 2004 at 11:55 AM (CDT)
"You can't make crap sound any better than the crap it is."
Actually the iPod earphone drivers are excellent. Probably superior to what is in many of the incredibly expensive earphones on the market. The problem is that the iPod earphones do not deliver enough of the sound to your ears and are not particularly comfortable. So this could be a great solution. I will definitely drop $20 on a set to find out.
Posted by Jerry on August 27, 2004 at 11:56 AM (CDT)
Shipping to canada cost more than the earbuds O.o
Id rather buy ex71's, but I already have them =p
Posted by griever2004 on August 27, 2004 at 11:57 AM (CDT)
$20 isn't bad when the best,cheapest Sonys are $40. I already own the Apple buds and I'd rather spend $20 to end up with the same thing (quality wise) as the $40 Sonys. I had the sony and I sold them to help me pay for a new ipod and I miss them.
as for the Apple in-ear…JUNK! The sound about half as good as the Sonys and the Apples dont stay in your ear.

The post Q&A Day appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>Q. Matt, is it true you're twittering? Please say its not!
A. Yes, it's true. So when I start putting @ signs in front of everything and typing RT (which really means I have nothing new to say so I'm taking what some one else has said instead) don't be surprised. I don't know why yet, and frankly, I still don't fully know all the "how" behind it either. I haven't settled into what I'm going to twitter about yet, but if you want to follow me go to twitter.com/mattkloskowski. It should at least be interesting to see what develops from it and I'm open to twitter ideas. Thanks @MattKloskowski (I feel so trendy now!).
Q. How do you zoom in and out of your photos quickly like you did in your video?
A. By pressing Cmd/Ctrl + or – (minus). If you look up near the Navigator Panel on the top left side of Lightroom you'll see Fit, Fill, 1:1 and something else. Cmd + will zoom in to each of these levels each time you press it. Throw the minus key in there to zoom back out.
Q. In your Before/After video the other day the file you edited and returned from Photoshop was a TIFF file. Any reason you use a TIFF and not PSD?
A. Nope. I prefer PSD actually. I got a new computer and forgot to set my preferences back to PSD. Just go to your Lightroom preferences, choose the External Editing tab, and select PSD as File Format.
Q. The Before/After videos you did go into Photoshop with that Smart Object "thing". Will that work with Photoshop Elements?
A. No, Elements doesn't really have smart objects the same way that the full version of Photoshop does. You'd basically have to go Edit in Elements once. Then go back to Lightroom and make your changes and Edit in Elements again. Then combine the two layers into one document. Sounds like a good idea for a tutorial so I'll be sure to whip one up soon.
Q. Matt, will you be with Scott at any of his Lightroom tours this month?
A. Unfortunately no. I don't like traveling with Scott. He's got these weird quirks like he can only sit in even numbered rows on the plane and seats with the letter C. He insists his water be chilled to 72 degrees F at restaurants and things like that
I'm totally just kidding by the way. We have a great time traveling together but I won't be there. However, I will be teaching the same Lightroom tour in Chicago on July 20 and New York City on July 22. Check out Kelbytraininglive.com for more info.
Q. Matt, any tips on making a quick selection when the subject is not so contrasty against the background?
A. Hey, this is a Lightroom Q&A but I'll answer it anyway because I get this question a lot Basically, over the years I've found that folks want a magic way to make a complex selection. There is none. Prepare to spend some time if you've got a complex selection to make and the area you want selected doesn't have a lot of contrast from the background. Now there are things to help with this (Quick Mask, Channels, etc…) but you're still going to spend some time on it and it ain't fun time either. There's third party plug-ins which help, but they still take time and require lots of input from you. Some training to help out on the topic:
– Scott Kelby's Channels Book (Channels haven't changed one bit in years so it's still relavant)
– Katrin Eismann's Masking and Compositing book
– Dave Cross' Photoshop Selections DVD over at Kelbytraining.com
That's it for this round of Q&A's. Thanks!

]]>The post Presets – Summer Haze 2 appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>This was one of my favorite presets from last year. Its just a really cool effect to get that summery, warm, hazy feeling in a photo. The preset adjusts the white balance, Vibrance, Saturation, and Split Toning sliders. I even tossed in a bit of a Tone Curve adjustment on it in the Shadows since the other settings seemed to muddy the photo up a bit, and I thought it needed some more blacks to bring back the contrast. It works great on fun-styled outdoor portraits and even makes a pretty nifty wedding effect. Enjoy!

]]>Q. Is there a way to add music to a web gallery created in Lightroom's Web module?
A. Nope, you can't add music to a web gallery. Thankfully. But the more important question is why do you want to? I'm sorry to be the one to break this to ya', but nobody likes a web page that automatically plays music. It's horribly intrusive and I've never met anyone that auto-music in a web page doesn't incite anger and rage in them. I'm just sayin'
Q. Can I resize my image in Lightroom without exporting?
A. No. You can crop to a specific dimension but you can't resize. Actually, you don't really want to resize your original in LR. Remember, the images you look at in LR are your negatives. They're your original source files. You'd never do permanent damage to your negatives back in the film days and the same goes here. If you need to resize then go to File > Export and do it there.
Q. Can I apply a frame inside of LR?
A. There's are some fake ways to do it with identity plates. Sean McCormack has a video on it over at his blog. Honestly, none of the "workarounds" with identity plates are really that great though. I mean, they word but in the end, they're just workarounds and you're probably not going to fall in love with the results. However, onOneSoftware's PhotoFrame plugs directly into Lightroom so you can go from LR into PhotoFrame to add the frame and then back seamlessly. It's really your best alternative unless you want to go into Photoshop.
Q. Should I break up my libraries into multiple catalogs?
A. Personally, I create a catalog for my "work" related stuff and one catalog for my "personal" photos. Honestly though, I don't even always follow it because it's just easier to store everything in one catalog. I also know a lot of wedding photographers that create a new catalog for each wedding and store that catalog with the wedding photos. That's about it though. I don't know of many other reasons to add the complexity of multiple catalogs. One thing to keep in mind with multiple catalogs is that you can't search across them. Plus it's just more hassle to manage. So if you've got a reason to create multiple catalogs then go for it. For me, it just complicates things and I'm a member of the keep it simple club.
Q. How about an easy tutorial on how to pick a White point and a Black point in Lightroom? Please.
A. Well, since you said "please" Here goes. There is no way to set the white and black point like you're used to in Photoshop's Levels adjustment (or Capture NX's double threshold feature). There are no white/black point eyedroppers. You can, however, hold down the Alt/Option key when adjusting Exposure and Blacks. This shows you which areas begin to clip so you can adjust the white (Exposure) and black (Blacks) sliders accordingly. However, those two adjustments have nothing to do with color so you're not color correcting anything when you move them. That's what the white balance settings and eyedropper are for.
Thanks for reading! Keep the questions coming.

]]>The post Relaunch and Optimize Your Catalog Today appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>Anyway, on to the topic of today's post. I was poking through the Catalog settings menu in Lightroom and realized I hadn't optimized my catalog in a while. Adobe recommends optimizing when your catalog grows in size. What size you ask? No one really knows but I use 10,000 as a good number. It's not big in terms of how big catalogs can grow, but it's still a substantial number of photos. I usually optimize after I've imported a lot of photos (thousands) and also deleted a lot of photos. Lately, I've been doing some catalog maintenance (importing older photos and deleting a lot too) so I figured it was a good time to try it again. I can't say that Lightroom was completely sluggish before I did it but I remember thinking to myself a few times that things should be happening a little faster. After I optimized it did seem like things moved a little zippier (I love that word!) then usual.
So give it a try when you have a few minutes today. For all of you number-crunching techie folks out there, I've not found statistics on exactly what percentage of optimization or zippiness (there's that word again) you'll get from it but it can't hurt to try it out. Remember that at it's core, Lightroom's catalog is like a database file (let the snoring begin). And databases consistently need to be optimized and things moved around once in a while to help them perform better. So that's pretty much the same deal here.
To optimize, go to your Catalog Settings dialog (Lightroom menu on a Mac and Edit menu on a PC). Go under the General tab and click the Relaunch and Optimize button at the bottom. Mine took about 5 minutes for a catalog with around 20,000 images in it so go grab yourself a cup of coffee (or coke zero) when you do it.

]]>Q. Come on Matt. Was it really that cold there or are you just a wimp?
A. Yes and Yes. It was that cold there and yes I am I wimp. I moved to Florida from the northeast US about 18 years ago and my blood has thinned. I get cold and wear a sweatshirt when it goes below 80 degrees, so you can guess what it's like when I'm in 25-30 degree weather with a gusty wind that won't quit
Q. Did you use any filters for these photos?
A. Although I use filters all the time, I didn't use them much in Utah. I carry a polarizer at all times. That is one filter that cannot be reproduced (easily and with good results) in Lightroom or Photoshop. However, it didn't help much with these photos. A few folks asked if I use a graduated neutral density filter and the answer is no. I've battled with this for a while now. I used to use one often, and always found that my horizons never had a perfectly straight line through them and something always got a bit darker then I wanted. I still keep it with me but I've had better luck exposing on the brighter side to capture the detail and using the Graduated Filter to tone down the sky later. Oh yeah, I also tried a warming filter on one of them and liked the effect. I borrowed it from some one and I believe it had some magenta in it too. I know you can do this in Lightroom but it was kind of nice to have it done in camera and not have to mess around with it in post.
(disclaimer: this is just my personal preference, so please don't write mean comments that I'm doing it wrong. If you feel I'm wrong then continue to do it your way and ignore me – sorry, but the way some folks have been with comments these days means that everything needs a disclaimer)
Q. Did you try converting any of these photos to black and white?
A. I tried (hence the presets from last week). I have to be honest with you though. I know I create B&W presets, but I do it mainly because I know a lot of folks out there like them. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of black and white. Every once in a while I find myself going to B&W but it's not that often. I don't know what it is. I just like color. Even as a kid, I was given the chance to use B&W film and I never liked it. I don't like grain and I've never missed that "old B&W feel" that many do. I guess it's a personal preference. That said, I did try a black and white on the image below and was pretty happy with the way it came out. You'll see there's a little bit of a tint to it as well. I'm not sure I'll print it, but I'm still working on a few others too so we'll see.
Q. What technique did you use to capture the sun star-burst-like rays (see image below)?
A. Great question! I set the aperture of the lens to f/16. I usually recommend people use a minimum of f/16 to capture them and preferably something like f/22 or higher. But I was able to get those sun star-burst rays at f/16. I also noticed that the star-burst effect looked awesome – one of the best I've seen. It's lead to a theory that I really haven't officially tested out yet so don't hold me to it. See, I borrowed Scott's Nikon 14-24mm 2.8 lens. It was the first time I used it. I compared this up against other similar star-burst photos (with different lenses) and it not only produced those rays at f/16 (when I usually need to be at f/22 with the others) but the rays looked so much better.
Q. What lenses did you take besides the 3 mentioned?
A. I took my 17-55mm (f/2.8), the 70-200mm (f/2.8), the 14-24mm (2.8) and my 18-200mm (3.5-5.6). All were Nikon lenses. The 17-55mm never came out of the bag. Basically, I wanted something long and something extremely wide most of the time. I did bring the 18-200mm VR lens as a "walking around" lens. I used the 18-200 a lot. The lack of 2.8 aperture wasn't an issue on it since I was on a tripod and shooting landscapes. Very rarely was I wide open at f/2.8 anyway and it was pretty convenient not to change lenses. That said, I loved the 14-24mm lens. That thing is sharp and I may end up stealing (I mean borrowing) it from Scott if he's not using it.
Q. How about posting some before/afters of these photos and the settings you used for them?
A. Great idea! I've actually got a video planned for this week where I go through from start to finish what I did so you can see my raw file and the finished product.
That's it for the Moab photo Q&A's. Here's a few Lightroom-related Q&A's to wrap up with.
Q. Based on your Batch Cropping video, which module is better to export your images to a JPEG? The Library (using File > Export) module or Print?
A. From a quality perspective, there is no difference. See, JPEG is a compression format that is standardized. So whether you're creating one from the Library module (File > Export) or from the Print module, the settings you get are the same. If you're exporting JPEGs bound for a computer screen only, you do get an option in the File > Export dialog that let's you sharpen for the Screen instead of for Print. Personally, I've tried it out and the difference is barely noticeable but if the computer screen is your final output you're probably better off with File > Export. The main reason to use the Print module for creating JPEGs is when you've cropped to a specific print size or created a layout or picture package of some sort. You won't be able to save that layout as a JPEG anywhere else.
Q. Is there any soft-proofing in Lightroom?
A. Nope. If you wanted to soft-proof you'd have to Edit in Photoshop. Lightroom won't make a copy automatically so you can feasibly go into Photoshop, soft-proof and then just close the photo with no harm (or extra files) done.
Q. Is there a way to transfer my presets from my laptop to a desktop (or from a Mac to a PC)?
A. Yep. Actually the Mac/PC thing doesn't matter. Presets are compatible with both. I wrote a tip a while back that describes how to save and move your presets. Here's the link.

]]>The post My Moab/Arches National Park Trip appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>First off, click each photo to see it larger. Next each photo was taken with my Nikon D300 on the Really Right Stuff BH-55 ballhead mounted on a Gitzo tripod. All were processed with Lightroom, Photoshop, and sharpened with Nik's Sharpener Pro 3. HDR (Photomatix Pro) was used in one of them as well. I've got a big space on my wall at home so I'm trying to decide which one to print large. I'd really appreciate a comment to let me know which one is your favorite.
Where? At Mesa Arch in Arches National Park
When? Sunrise
Lens? Nikon 70-200 mm VR
Settings? f/16
Processing? Lightroom for white balance, color saturation, and vignetting. Photoshop for some minor retouching. Photomatix to create HDR photo since there was no way to capture this in one photo.
How early did you get up? 3:35am and we left the hotel at 4am.
Where? At Mesa Arch in Arches National Park
When? Sunrise
Settings? f/16 and 1/60 second.
Lens? Nikon 14-24mm
Processing? Lightroom for white balance, color, exposure, vignetting. Photoshop for minor retouching and removing small distractions.
How cold was it? Very cold and very windy. No matter how many layers anyone had on it seemed we were all shivering. But well worth it.
Where? Dead Horse State Park
When? Sunrise
Settings? f/16 and 1/60 second.
Lens? Nikon 14-24mm
Processing? Lightroom for white balance, color, exposure, vignetting. Photoshop for minor retouching and removing small distractions. Nik Viveza to make the tree pop a little more.
Why did you shoot the tree and not all the other vast scenery out there? Basically, the sun had already come up. I had often shot so many photos of the same exact thing at sunrise, and end up with only one photo for the morning. So I forced myself to shoot sunrise for about 5 minutes and then switch spots as soon as the light changed. This is where I ended up.
Where? Delicate Arch in Arches National Park
When? Sunset
Settings? f/16 at 1/180 second.
Lens? Nikon 18-200mm VR (I got tired of changing lenses so I went for versatile over expensive)
Processing? Lightroom for white balance, color, exposure and vignetting. Photoshop for minor retouching and removing small distractions.
How long was the hike to this Arch? A little over an hour if you walked at a fairly brisk pace. But it was a lot of fun and well worth the result.
Where? Dead Horse State Park
When? Sunrise
Lens? Nikon 70-200 mm VR
Settings? f/11 at 1/45 second.
Processing? Lightroom for white balance, color, exposure and vignetting.
How did you end up getting this photo at Dead Horse as well as the other one above? They're very different huh? Actually, I just turned around. Seriously, I was shooting in one direction when the sun was coming up. I turned around and this is what I saw. So I quickly changed lenses from wide to telephoto and got this shot.
Where? At Mesa Arch in Arches National Park
When? Sunrise
Lens? Nikon 14-24mm
Settings? f/16 at 1/60
Processing? Lightroom for white balance, color saturation, exposure, and vignetting. Photoshop for some minor retouching.
Did you really get up at 3:30 for this photo? Yep. If you don't get there early it supposedly gets incredibly crowded. It didn't for us because it was snowing that morning and the weather forecast was abysmal. But everything changed and we got some incredible photos.
Thanks for checking them out folks. Please let me know which ones you like best.

Water towers have a storied history in New York, and have unintentionally become iconic symbols of the city. Originally constructed during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th Century, the towers adorned buildings over six stories, and were used to create water pressure to be used for the buildings' plumbing.
With this deep connection to New York in mind, Bellboy designed a timeless chair that would last from one generation to the next, much like the water towers that still sit atop NYC's buildings. The tower's rich old growth redwood has been chopped into small pieces to expose the wood grain and texture, which harmonizes with the pattern created on the chair's surface by adjoining all of the pieces.
The high-backed, low lounge chair has been smoothly sanded to create sleek contours which reflect the ultimate in lazy comfort, allowing the sitter to sprawl their legs out. The reclaimed wood was then stained, creating a myriad of colors where the wood grain, aging flaws and stain combined.
The Watertower chair has proven to be such a hit that Bellboy is looking into going beyond just building the one for 12 x 12, investigating other water tower wood sources in order to produce a small, limited batch.
