Chinsu - Mi Have The Leathering Official Music Video
The new album may have taken an entire decade and maybe because of it, Wayne Marshall's Tru Colors shows his growth in music.
On Tuesday, Marshall released Tru Colors, more than 10 years after his previous album, Marshall Law, in 2003. That first effort featured popular songs like Marshall Town and Overcome.
"As the name suggests, the project represents my true colours and what I have experienced in music. It shows my evolution, my growth," Marshall told The Gleaner.
"I feel great. I feel very proud about the final product, which is a good representation of the work that we put in ... great project, exclusive tracks."
exclusive tracks
With the exception of singles like Stupid Money, I Know, and Go Hard, which were released earlier, Marshall said between 70 and 80 per cent of the tracks are exclusive.
"I promised myself that I wanted to work on a project so fans could see the worth of buying it. It is a project that I can really encourage people to buy," Marshall said.
He described Marshall Law as songs that were "kinda squeezed together and put out as an album". Tru Colors, on the other hand, shows "real strategy, real work", he said.
Marshall continued: "The main difference is the growth in content and melody. We planned all of the songs. It's all that we wanted it to be. Everything that's there was written with the focus of being on the album."
Marshall also lauded Damian and Stephen Marley of Ghetto Youths International for their work on the album.
With the former taking the reins of executive producer for the album, completion took about two and a half years.
road to perfection
"Damian is an in-demand touring artiste, so we had to do the album around his touring obligations. That kinda helped the project 'cause we took the time to perfect it," Marshall told The Gleaner, noting that additional production work was done by Pay Day Music and Baby G.
In addition to the lessons he learnt from working with the Marleys, he said working on the album "was a life changing experience".
Having waited 10 years to put out a second album, Marshall wants this album to cement him "as a force in the reggae and dancehall game".
"Now is my time to kind of put my part, to pave the way for the young generation," said Marshall.

Earl Clark sent down to D-League
Mar 15, 2010, 5:58 PM EDT
According to the Associated Press, Phoenix Suns rookie Earl Clark has been sent down to the D-League. Clark was the 14th overall pick in last year's draft, but hasn't gotten off to a particularly quick start in the NBA, averaging 2.7 points per game on 35.5% shooting from the field. Clark has appeared in 45 games for the Suns this season, and has managed to score in double figures on three occasions. February was a particularly tough month for Clark, who went 2-13 from the field over the course of the month without getting to the line once.
Clark is a fantastic athlete with a 7′ 2′ wingspan, but the Louisville product is still trying to find where he fits in an NBA offense. Clark is neither a banger or a true "stretch" forward, and his tweener skill set has made it tough for him to be productive so far. About two thirds of Clark's shots come from midrange, and Clark makes barely above 30% of his shots from those areas. The D-League is supposed to exist for players like Clark, who have more than enough talent to succeed in the NBA but haven't quite put all the pieces yet. We'll see if it works for Clark.

Complete rewrite of the functionality ... should now behave much better in terms of speed. I'm aiming at Blender 2.75 with this patch - our client need this feature.
Sorry, I made a mistake to uploading fbx file.
I reupload fbx file by ver2.73a Mac.
It could be a good solution. When i come back from my easter holidays i will make a test blend to check it.
Closed by commit rB70d9c0132579.
Thanks for the files, but I need both FBX to be exported from the exact same version of Blender, otherwise comparing them is impossible…
The smoothing algorithm seems rather strange (multiplying the edge by its length & accumulating),
is this based on some known good/working smooth method? or is it something you came up with yourself?
auto-closed, updating this diff, you can commandeer back afterwards
dear mont29
We need at the very least the source .blend file, and both FBX files (from win and osx) - but please first of all try the latest build from our buildbot.
Tested with Blender 2.74 RC4 - all seems fine. Column "standardization" and cleanup in progress.

FRIDAY, Nov. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Predrinking, drinking before going out, is linked to heavier alcohol consumption and increased adverse outcomes, according to a study published online Nov. 8 in Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
Florian Labhart, from Addiction Info Switzerland in Lausanne, and colleagues assessed alcohol consumption and drinking location at six time points (5 p.m. to the next morning) on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays over five consecutive weeks using a recently developed Internet-based cell phone-optimized assessment technique. In total, 183 young adults (mean age, 23.1; 53 percent female) provided 7,828 assessments on 1,441 evenings.
The researchers found that higher alcohol consumption occurred on evenings with predrinking (7.1 drinks on average) compared to evenings with on-premise only (4.2 drinks) and off-premise only (4.3 drinks). Predrinking was also more often linked to adverse outcomes (23.8 percent of predrinking nights involving at least one outcome) than on-premise drinking only (13.9 percent) and off-premise drinking only (12.0 percent). The association between predrinking and adverse outcomes was indirect, medicated by consumption of larger amounts of alcohol.
"Given that predrinking is associated with heavier consumption and more adverse or risky outcomes from drinking, regardless of whether the intention was to get drunk, educational interventions that aim to inform young adults of the risks related to predrinking and heavy episodic drinking should be considered," the authors write.

Well...over all I do love their eye shadows! The color selection is amazing! But it is very "out there" not really every day wear. But the colors are very pigmented, very strong and noticible. I used to wear it a lot when it first came out but not so much anymore. The packaging is a bit hard to open as well, every time have to push it open really hard. I will re-purchase if I need another crazy color which I can't find in cheaper stores.

I was going to be in the bridal party for a wedding, but didn't want to get my make up done by a make up artist. I had heard some really good things about make up forever and their products so I decided to treat myself to a make up lesson and some new products.
I had never used make up forever's eye shadows previously, but now I am converted. However, that being said it took me a few times to practice applying them correctly. Like some of the previous reviews said, a little bit goes a long way. I would definitely just apply a little bit first then build from there if you want a more intense color. When I practiced putting on my make up the first few times I was way too generous in my application and it just didn't look right. Try al light touch first and then build carefully from there and that helped a lot.
I am also happy to say that the shadows STAY PUT all day. My eye make up for the wedding went the distance from 7AM all the way to 11PM at night so I am happy with that aspect of them as well. Also I appreciate that their matte colors are truly matte and the more shimmery colors are not overly so either.

I thought I wanted really pigmented e/s's, but these just go to far. The darker colors are impossible to put on evenly, where your brush falls on the lid or upper lid is always going to be darker, you can't blend it into the rest of the area you want to color. The light colors can look chalky, a lot of them are really blushes they sell as e/s, and they feel like blushes, driers, etc. In fact, these are just dry e/s's period and not easy to blend, tend to be chalky,etc. Maybe if you are a m/u artist you can use them but I gave up, went back to Mac, but just the MATTE2 formula - their best along with Veluxe.

I have the matte 156 and I am in love with it. It looks amazing on the brow bone area especially if you have dark skin. It is so pigmented so I only have to use a little bit of it.
It's not that much more expensive than mac and in my opinion it's a better quality. I would definitely repurchase this colour again.
The packaging is crappy. I get it's black and simple but for the price at least add an eyeshadow applicator. Dior is just as as good in terms of pigmentation and you can buy the quads for cheaper price. As far as I know they are both from France. I wish MUF would change their packaging since average people can buy it now.

I have this shadow in Black 4, for lining my eyes, so I cannot comment on it as an actual shadow.
Packaging: Poor. It is a slim little case that closes firmly, but seems almost flimsy. For $20, I would usually expect a mirror or at least a thicker, more sturdy case.
Product: This shadow is a very dark matte black, which I dab over my gel liners to make them darker and fill in gaps on my lashline with a flat liner brush. The shadow lasts quite a long time and is very finely milled and smooth.
Price: The product is of very fine quality, but for $20 I expected a mirror or at least a cheap applicator. :(

Really nicely pigmented eye shadows. I like the colors and they blend pretty well. My favorite is the dark deep brown. I would buy again.

Their matte eye shadows are my staples. Even though Im a drug store makeup junkie, I have to admit the quality of the eye shadows is phenomenal. Though other finishes (satiny, iridescent, and diamond) do not impress me so much, the mattes are something you cant find anywhere but MUFE. I have 165 (Grey Beige), 076 (Beige), 162 (True Brown), all of which are super pigmented and long-lasting even on my oily lid. The packaging design is one drawback. It has kinda cheap touch for the price, and I am not fond of the magnetic close lid.

I recently made a trip to NYC and stopped by the MUFE
store to start my MUFE eyeshadow collection off right!
The e/s section at the store trumps what sephora has to
offer so if you are ever in the city you have to drop by there. I asked the MA if you can call & order from the storeand she said yes at the flat rate of 8.50. That is what I plan to do in the future for pan shadows. Just an FYI.Okay I hauled the 4x4 palette,
and filled it with shadows # 48: a rust orange with a hint of
shimmer. I like that it's not completely flat like MAC's rule, it's a little deeper too. #58: a deep plum/deep dark
wine color. MAC has nothing like it. the color payoff is beautiful. It stains a bit when swatched on my hand and washed off. Proof that the color is going to be long wearing. #81 is a navy blue
with light shimmer. Like a darker MAC deep truth. Lovely! The last one I hauled was the infamous #92. I see
why it's to well loved. It's bright and blendable. Very
pretty and will look good on everyone. I love them all for
the color payoff and the price was right. Pans are $13.00 at
the store as opposed to 19.00 with packaging at sephora.
Oh, I forgot to add #58, 48, and 92 also can be used a
blushes. On their labels it says blush powder. At the
MUFE store, shadows and blushes are all together you
just pick what you want.
The brand really makes a good matte shadow. MAC
has the veluxe pearls on lock, but they can't really top
MUFE's matte shadow offerings. They are just
awesome.I don't even want to buy any
shadows but MUFE now. I am hooked.
I purchased the mirrored x4 palette with

Heavy Weapons Pound Syrian Rebels As Nations Accuse Each Other
Fighting continues in Aleppo, Syria's largest city on Sunday while accusations of meddling – and pleas to meddle more – are flying on the international stage.
According to Guardian correspondent Luke Harding, reporting from Aleppo province, the rebels are holding their own but are ultimately outmatched against government forces using heavy weaponry. He quotes a rebel commander who "was relatively pessimistic about the Free Syrian Army's chances of fending off repeated attacks":
"'The FSA has several hundred soldiers stationed inside Aleppo, and in total a bigger force in the area of around 2000. The regime has 100 tanks, we estimate, and about another 400 troop carriers and armoured vehicles. They also have 43 buses of Shabiha that have been brought inside Aleppo, with around 1500 soldiers. And the regime has helicopters.'"
On Sunday, the leader of the main opposition group, the Syrian National Council, pleaded for support from the international community in the form of heavy weapons, as Reuters reports:
"The rebels are fighting with primitive weapons...We want weapons that we can stop tanks and planes with. This is what we want," SNC chief Abdelbasset Seida said in Abu Dhabi.
It's that kind of support that the Syrian regime blasted, accusing nearby nations of trying to destroy their countries, as the AP says:
"Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, on a visit to Iran, leveled some rare public criticism of Sunni powers in the Middle East, saying Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are supporting a plot hatched by Israel to destroy Syria. The three countries have all been backing rebels trying to overthrow authoritarian President Bashar Assad."
Russia also blamed Syria's neighbors on Saturday, as The New York Times notes, and included Western countries which "encourage, support and direct the armed fight against the regime," as Russian foreign minister Sergey V. Lavrov said.
Meanwhile, civilians continue to flee Aleppo. Jordan has just opened a refugee camp a few kilometers from the border, the BBC says.

Logitech Starts Shipping Harmony 1100 Remote

Logitech has begun shipping their recently refreshed Harmony 1000 touchscreen remote, the Harmony 1100. Aside from an aesthetic change (i.e. black finish) I'm really not sure what's different between the 1000 and the 1100. Both sport a 3.5-inch touchscreen, updateable UI via an Internet connection and charging base. Anyone? Bueller?
You can buy the Harmony 1100 here for $433

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
American adults out-performed by many global peers on workplace skills assessment test
WASHINGTON - It's long been known that America's school kids haven't measured well compared with international peers. Now, there's a new twist: Adults don't either.
In math, reading and problem-solving using technology — all skills considered critical for global competitiveness and economic strength — American adults scored below the international average on a global test, according to results released Tuesday.
Adults in Japan, Canada, Australia, Finland and multiple other countries scored significantly higher than the United States in all three areas on the test. Beyond basic reading and math, respondents were tested on activities such as calculating mileage reimbursement due to a salesman, sorting email and comparing food expiration dates on grocery store tags.
Not only did Americans score poorly compared to many international competitors, the findings reinforced just how large the gap is between the nation's high- and low-skilled workers and how hard it is to move ahead when your parents haven't.
In both reading and math, for example, those with college educated parents did better than those whose parents did not complete high school.
The study, called the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies, found that it was easier on average to overcome this and other barriers to literacy overseas than in the United States.
Researchers tested about 157,000 people ages 16 to 65 in more than 20 countries and subnational regions. It was developed and released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which is made up of mostly industrialized member countries. The Education Department's Center for Education Statistics participated.
The findings were equally grim for many European countries — Italy and Spain, among the hardest hit by the recession and debt crisis, ranked at the bottom across generations. Unemployment is well over 25 per cent in Spain and over 12 per cent in Italy. Spain has drastically cut education spending, drawing student street protests.
But in the northern European countries that have fared better, the picture was brighter — and the study credits continuing education. In Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, more than 60 per cent of adults took part is either job training or continuing education. In Italy, by contrast, the rate was half that.
As the American economy sputters along and many people live paycheque-to-paycheque, economists say a highly-skilled workforce is key to economic recovery. The median hourly wage of workers scoring on the highest level in literacy on the test is more than 60 per cent higher than for workers scoring at the lowest level, and those with low literacy skills were more than twice as likely to be unemployed.
"It's not just the kids who require more and more preparation to get access to the economy, it's more and more the adults don't have the skills to stay in it," said Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement the nation needs to find ways to reach more adults to upgrade their skills. Otherwise, he said, "no matter how hard they work, these adults will be stuck, unable to support their families and contribute fully to our country. "
Among the other findings:
—Americans scored toward the bottom in the category of problem solving in a technology rich environment. The top five scores in the areas were from Japan, Finland, Australia, Sweden and Norway, while the U.S. score was on par with England, Estonia, Ireland and Poland. In nearly all countries, at least 10 per cent of adults lacked the most basic of computer skills such as using a mouse.
—Japanese and Dutch adults who were ages 25 to 34 and only completed high school easily outperformed Italian or Spanish university graduates of the same age.
—In England, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United States, social background has a big impact on literacy skills, meaning the children of parents with low levels of education have lower reading skills.
America's school kids have historically scored low on international assessment tests compared to other countries, which is often blamed on the diversity of the population and the high number of immigrants. Also, achievement tests have long shown that a large chunk of the U.S. student population lacks basic reading and math skills — most pronounced among low-income and minority students.
This test could suggest students leaving high school without certain basic skills aren't obtaining them later on the job or in an education program.
The United States will have a tough time catching up because money at the state and local level, a major source of education funding, has been slashed in recent years, said Jacob Kirkegaard, an economist with the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
"There is a race between man and machine here. The question here is always: Are you a worker for whom technology makes it possible to do a better job or are you a worker that the technology can replace?" he said. For those without the most basic skills, he said, the answer will be merciless and has the potential to extend into future generations. Learning is highly correlated with parents' education level.
"If you want to avoid having an underclass — a large group of people who are basically unemployable — this educational system is absolutely key," Kirkegaard said.
Dolores Perin, professor of psychology and education at Teachers College, Columbia University, said the report provides a "good basis for an argument there should be more resources to support adults with low literacy."
Adults can learn new skills at any age and there are adult-geared programs around the country, Perin said. But, she said, the challenge is ensuring the programs have quality teaching and that adults regularly attend classes.
"If you find reading and writing hard, you've been working hard all day at two jobs, you've got a young child, are you actually going to go to class? It's challenging," Perin said.
Some economists say that large skills gap in the United States could matter even more in the future. America's economic competitors like China and India are simply larger than competitors of the past like Japan, Carnevale said. Even while America's top 10 per cent of students can compete globally, Carnevale said, that doesn't cut it. China and India did not participate in this assessment.
"The skills in the middle are required and we're not producing them," Carnevale said.
Respondents were selected as part of a nationally represented sample. The test was primarily taken at home using a computer, but some respondents used a printed test booklet.
Among the other findings:
—Japan, Finland, Canada, Netherlands, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Flanders-Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Korea all scored significantly higher than the United States in all three areas on the test.
—The average scores in literacy range from 250 in Italy to 296 in Japan. The U.S. average score was 270. (500 was the highest score in all three areas.) Average scores in 12 countries were higher than the average U.S. score.
—The average scores in math range from 246 in Spain to 288 in Japan. The U.S. average score was 253, below 18 other countries.
—The average scores on problem solving in technology-rich environments scale for adult ranged from 275 in Poland to 294 in Japan. The U.S. average score was 277, below 14 other countries.

Designed for busy workgroups that demand efficient workflow in a compact space, the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 series of color multifunction office systems from Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, allows users to gather, organize and disseminate information to help them meet the unique needs of their office environments.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 Series is built on the next-generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform. Launched last year, this platform is designed to be the core of digital business communications where imaging technology, cloud connectivity, and mobile solutions converge. Each new model brings a variety of enhancements to the design, workflow, control, performance and environmentally conscious attributes.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2230 and imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2225 produce up to 30 pages-per-minute (ppm) and up to 25 ppm output, respectively, for both color and monochrome letter-size prints, while featuring a scan rate of up to 51 images per minute. Both models have a maximum paper capacity of 2,270 sheets and can handle up to 12" x 18" paper. With the ability to access and leverage the capabilities of other connected imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices, these models can not only serve as a stand-alone multifunction device in a small or remote office but also as an addition to an existing fleet of devices in an enterprise setting.
"With the ability to integrate hardware and software solutions, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 series allows organizations to customize their devices to best fit the way they work," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A. "These intelligently designed, highly flexible systems can be easily updated or added as the needs of the business change and integrated with other devices to strengthen and grow fleet environments."
Advanced Design
With an intuitive interface displayed on a seven inch, full-color, tiltable, high-resolution TFT screen, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 Series helps users accomplish tasks quickly and effectively. The main menu provides instant access to commonly used functions, and on-screen quick menu buttons can be customized to meet specific departmental or user needs. Fitting in a space as small as 34" x 27", its compact size is achieved with innovations such as Canon's space-saving vertical toner transfer technology and the availability of an optional internal staple finisher that provides professional-quality output without adding to the footprint.
Advanced Workflow
Like all imageRUNNER ADVANCE models, the C2200 series can serve as a digital communications hub, integrating enterprise applications, connecting to certain cloud applications, linking to other devices in a company's fleet, and giving users the ability to work efficiently from anywhere. With drag-and-drop functionality, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop Quick Printing Tool allows users to print, fax and convert files to PDF format without opening the native application. These new models are also equipped to take advantage of several mobile and cloud-based solutions – customizable for different needs and price points – that enable users to securely print and scan from a variety of mobile devices such as laptops, iPad® tablets and iPhone® or BlackBerry® smartphones.
To help automate complex business processes, Canon offers MEAP-Web to allow applications to be developed via web services with integration on the device through the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Web Access software option. This allows in-house developers, partners and integrators to build customized solutions that leverage information from back-end enterprise applications such as ERP, CRM, and content management systems.
Advanced Control
As security and control become increasingly important, Canon provides tools to easily configure a system, migrate settings, safeguard data and track resources. With new imageWARE Enterprise Management Console plug-ins, an entire fleet of imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices can be centrally monitored for usage information, updated with the latest firmware, and configured with new applications and settings.
With Canon's server-less Advanced Anywhere-Print (AA-Print) solution that includes a login application called Universal Login Manager, users can print to a connected Canon device and retrieve their documents after authentication at any supported Canon device on their network, and IT administrators can track usage and enforce printing controls when needed. Each model is also equipped with a tamper-resistant security chip, which protects passwords and encryption keys. In addition, the standard HDD Data Erase and HDD Lock features help protect information even after the hard drive is removed.
Advanced Performance
The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 series incorporates Canon's state-of-the-art imaging technology for reliable delivery of crisp, clear output. In addition, fast and consistent processing speed is delivered through Canon's advanced imageCHIP architecture that features two dedicated processors that work together to accomplish multiple tasks simultaneously. These models also feature a new Quick Startup mode that allows users to get started in as little as seven seconds from Main Power Off.
To further enhance productivity and flexibility of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 series, a variety of paper feeding, finishing, printer, security and accessibility options are available for an additional cost, including a booklet finisher, an external staple finisher, and an additional cassette feeding unit.
Advanced Responsibility
Users will benefit from energy-saving and environmentally conscious features built into the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 series. The new models have a low Typical Energy Consumption (TEC) value and consume very little energy during sleep mode. Print drivers are defaulted to duplex documents, encouraging two-sided printing to reduce waste. Organizations can further control their resources through intelligent device management solutions that help optimize the use of toner and paper. In addition, the combination of fusing technologies and low melting point toner helps lower overall energy consumption.
Maintaining Canon's commitment to lowering environmental burdens, the new models employ components fabricated with 100 percent recycled plastic from retired products. They also include bio-based plastic, a plant-derived compound that replaces certain petroleum-based plastic parts.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2230 and the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2225 are available through Canon authorized dealers and Canon Solutions America, Inc. at manufacturer's suggested retail prices of $9,660 and $6,615, respectively*. More information on these models and the entire next generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform can be found at www.usa.canon.com/SimplyAdvanced

A very powerful and yet often forgotten function within Photoshop CC are Smart Objects. Smart Objects were originally created for graphic design use and introduced in Photoshop CS2. Since then, they have evolved into an extremely useful tool for photographers. One of their major uses is their ability to allow non destructive editing not only of the images but also of filters applied to an image. In this article we will take a look at some things that you can do with Smart Objects.

How to Create Duotones and Split Tones in Lightroom
Before we go anywhere, we should discuss exactly what a duotone is. It has its genesis in the printing world where, to save on color printing costs, some editors would print an image that was a mixture of black and white with a single color added in. A Split Tone generally starts from a color image and changes the color tint of both the highlights and shadows. The Duotone was born. Although not so important in the publishing world these days, Duotones and Split Tones remain striking and interesting images and thanks to modern software, they are also easy to create. Today we will look at creating one in Lightroom.
Creating a High Key Landscape Using Lightroom in 6 Simple Steps
High key landscapes are often dramatic and emotive images. They typically work best in black and white but can sometimes work well in color using desaturated colors. A high key landscape is always going to work best if it has been shot with that effect in mind. However, with a suitable image, it is possible to get a high key effect using Adobe Lightroom. The aim of a high key image is to have the majority of the tones towards the highlight end of the histogram. High key is not about over exposing an image, it is more about carefully exposing the shot to keep the shadows lighter but preventing the highlight areas from clipping.
Photoshop Tutorial: How to do Frequency Separation for Retouching a Portrait
If you have seen some of the portrait retouching videos on the internet, you have probably stumbled upon the term "frequency separation" at one time or another. I have also mentioned it on several occasions in my posts here, and after receiving several requests to make a tutorial on it, I decided to devote a post specifically to the topic. In general, frequency separation is a portrait retouching technique which focuses on retaining as much texture as possible. Why is it called frequency separation? I'm not sure yet, but I guess it refers to the detail frequency, because you do separate the fine detail (a.k.a texture) from the coarse detail (a.k.a tone), right? The name doesn't really matter, after all. It is a great technique to work with and it produces pretty astonishing results.
5 Underused Lightroom Tools That You Should Use More Often
Adobe's Lightroom has become one of the best editing and image management options for enthusiast and professional photographers alike. In its most recent incarnation, the editing tools that it provides mean that for many images, there is no need to work in Photoshop. Today we are going to take a look at five advanced Lightroom techniques.
How To Restore Old Photos With Photoshop
You've probably stumbled upon a photo collection from your grandparents, tucked away somewhere, left for ages. Since those photos will probably be older than you are, time and elements probably had taken their toll. However, with the modern technology and the power of Photoshop, most of that damage can be repaired, and some additional enhancement can be done as well. It would be a nice present for a birthday of your grandparents if you had one or two of those images cleaned up, reprinted and framed for them, right? Especially now when that can be done very easily.
How to Make Your Photos Pop With Punchier Colors in Photoshop CC
With Adobe's fairly new pricing regime, Photoshop CC is now within the reach of many enthusiast photographers who might have balked at the idea of weighing out several hundred dollars for an image editing program before. Today, we are going to take a look at a couple of great ways to make your colors punch […]
Dodging and Burning in Photoshop and How It Can Enhance Your Photos
Despite being the cutting edge of modern digital image editing, Photoshop borrows a significant number of its tools from the days of film. None more so than the Dodge and Burn tools. These two tools have been with us since the dawn of photographic printing and anyone who has spent a little time using an enlarger will know what they do. Today we are going to take a look at how to use their modern day equivalents in Photoshop.
5 Effective Ways to Achieve Smooth Skin in Your Portraits Using Photoshop
Every portrait photographer strives to achieve the best-looking skin in his or her portrait images. As much as it seems so, this is not an easy task to accomplish. The trick is to smooth out the skin without making it look unreal and unflattering. It is crucial to hit the sweet spot between good-looking and realistic skin. Retaining as much texture as possible is essential while removing the imperfections. There are various ways to smooth out skin, but I'll give you a short guide of my 5 favorite ways to do it (number 5 being my favorite one). You can try them all and chose the one that works best for you.
Tips for Sharpening Your Images the Right Way
Just so you are not misled in any way, let me make it clear that this won't be a Photoshop tutorial on using any particular sharpening method. It will provide general guidelines on sharpening methods, but the main goal will be to help you understand the sharpening process better. It will show you what exactly sharpening does to an image, and how it's accomplished.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
All Messier
by Paul on 07/23/08 at 03:53 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Dan Rosen at NHL.com,
Mark Messier is sitting on the sidelines these days, enjoying the early stages of his new life as a retired NHL legend. Even still, few of the game's legends are as tuned in to today's NHL as Messier.
He's opinionated. He's eloquent. He's passionate.
NHL.com was lucky enough to hear Messier be all those things and more in an exclusive phone interview Monday morning. We asked him about free agency, the Detroit Red Wings, the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Winter Classic and a whole lot more….
NHL.com: Does four Cups in 11 years and having a core group of players — Nicklas Lidstrom, Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, Darren McCarty and Tomas Holmstrom — playing on all four championship teams make the Detroit Red Wings a dynasty?
MM: You have to really respect what they have been able to do for a long period of time, without having great draft picks. To call it a dynasty — I don't know.

NZ Billiard players `cueing up for Leeds'
Provincial Billiard Championships have been held around New Zealand with the Qualifying Cueists getting automatic entry into the `Blue Ribbon Event' , the NZ Billiard Championships to be held at Auckland's home of CueSports, SnookerWorld on Mt Albert Road at Royal Oak in July this year.
New Zealand's recognized IBSF Cuesport Coach, Mr Gary Gillard, held in February this year for `Billiard players', a `Billiard Coaching School'. The benefits of this `special coaching' was very much appreciated by all Cueists who attended.
Current and 11 times NZ Champion, and Christchurch's Champion, Gary Oliver has boldly let his Cue do the talking this year when winning two weeks ago with two double century breaks (240-252). Oliver has recently had major shoulder surgery and he will again be the one to beat in July. Others to be going to the NZ Champs from the South Island are past NZ Champion Peter deGroot, Indian born but now a NZ resident Adesh Shekatkar, Peri Lilii, Peter Gormley, George Robertson and the NZBSA President, Mr Alan Parris.
Hawkes Bay Champion cueist and a past NZ Champ, Paul Stocker has booked his entry into this years NZ Champs by winning at the NZ Open Billiards held in Hamilton last September when taking out some English and Australian cueists.
Wellington will have their Champion Derek Gibb (also a past NZ Champion), along with Russell Robinson (a Legend in NZ), Zac Guja, Russ Delahunty, Neil Gyde, Jim Parkin and the very fine cueist at both Snooker and Billiards, Mark Hannah.
Waikato will be represented by their 2013 and 2014 Champion Darren Taylor, multiple Trophy winner Joe Ifa, ever improving Billiard players, Mark Taylor and Kevin Creighton along with two players who are also International Referees, Cliff Hazelton and Dan O'Sullivan whose services will be required at the WORLD BILLIARD CHAMPIONSHIPS to be held at Leeds, UK in October.
At this stage Auckland will be represented by another Billiard Legend, Ron Milicich, along with Bryce Good, Gordon Fletcher, Dennis Yin and the current Auckland Champion Wayne Carey (also a past NZ Billiards Champion)
With `wildcards to come', SnookerWorld in July will host a fine exhibition of NZ's talented Billiard players.
Current record highest break in a NZ Billiard Championship belongs to Mr Gary Oliver (Ch/Ch) … 303
There is plenty for NZ's Cueists to strive for as this years NZ Billiard Titleholder will get automatic entry along with the NZBSA's next #1 player into the World Championship at Leeds in October.
The NZ Snooker Championships will be held at the same Venue, straight after the Billiards.
