Guest blog by Andrew Binovi, ASPCA Federal Legislative Manager
With all the political gridlock in Washington D.C., it seems that Congress has nearly ground to a complete halt. So it was very exciting late yesterday when the U.S. Senate considered two important measures to help animals in need!
First, the Senate took up the cause of canine heroes who have served in our military and passed a provision that streamlines the adoption process for retired military dogs and authorizes the Department of Defense to provide veterinary care in the animals' retirement without any cost to American taxpayers. Military dogs perform dangerous, critical tasks, and it is our duty to honor these dogs and ensure they are cared for after their service is complete. The House passed similar language in their version of the military bill earlier this year.
Then, just moments later, the Senate passed the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act by a unanimous voice vote. This bill, introduced by Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Mark Kirk (R-IL), along with Sens. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Scott Brown (R-MA), will give law enforcement additional tools to crack down on animal fighting. The legislation will make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and will impose additional penalties for taking minors to animal fights.
Take Action!
We are encouraged that in the twilight hours of this Congress, animals in need have not been forgotten by federal lawmakers. Our team has been working around the clock with members of Congress to ensure passage of both bills, but we still need your help. Please call your representative and ask him or her to support the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act in the House. Animals victimized in this grisly blood sport are in desperate need—and they are counting on us to get the job done!
We are headed in the right direction, I couldn't be happier that the military service dogs are getting protection they deserve and that stiff laws on dog fighting are to be in place. I hope all animals can get protection from any form of cruelty. We my need population control but you can't tell me it can't be done humanely. Some people enjoy cruelty and they are the ones that are dangerous to all living creatures, that's enclosing humans.
The passing of these two laws is wonderful news. A lot of people have been working for the laws to protect animal rights for a very long time. I am relieved that two of those laws finally got into the hands and hearts of those who could make it a reality. Good job and Thank You. Lets not stop here. Keep the good news coming
Kudos to ASPCA and, for once, Congress for this action. Take the next step and contact your congressmen to urge them push it through. My gentle, loving, rescued boxer-pit mix and I thank you all!
I have a lot to say,but, those people who get there kicks torturing animals should have the same thing done to them so they can see how it feels as THEIR punishment.
Awesome, glad to hear that this law passed. people should get the death penalty for fighting animals, that's just plain cruel! I love animals especially dogs!
Does the passage of the bill mean that military working dogs are no longer classified as "military equipment" and will not be left where they are when the troops leave?
Thank you so much, ASPCA, for the work you've done in lobbying to get these two bills passed. I've shared this link on my Facebook page and will try to continue to let people know about the good work you guys are doing. Thanks again.
I am so happy and moved to tears that theses laws past . It gives me hope that protection grows for animals every day ;0)
Please keep us appraised of who the politicians are who are animal friendly. These are the ones who I want to vote for! Also, inform us of those who are unfriendly so we don't make the mistake of a
voting for them.

Monday October 1, 2012 11:40
ryan anderson: thanks! i have really worked on stuff off the dribble and thats something that will complete my game
Really no official pics yet? Most other teams are leaking already.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Where are the videos? Where are the pics?
This is Media Day! The media must not be doing their job...haha.
Or maybe they are just that busy.
Training camp is about to start and there is still so much uncertainty and speculation on what the starting 5 is going to be?
Austin Rivers is up next to chat.
Anderson will benefit from having a SF who can shoot next to him. Otherwise teams will play their SFs on him.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Lamest media day since I can remember. Thought we'd have pics by now. They said later today or tomorrow.
LOL this guy is funny as hell.Corey:

Anthony Davis
New Orleans Hornets rookie Anthony Davis will have to work on time mangement this season, says veteran Ryan Anderson
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultNew Orleans Hornets veteran forward Ryan Anderson knows a little bit about being the teammate of an NBA superstar, having spent time his three previous NBA seasons side-by-side with center Dwight Howard.
So as Hornets rookie power forward Anthony Davis, the first overall pick in the NBA draft, made the station-by-station rounds at New Orleans' media day Monday afternoon at the Alario Center, Anderson remembered the circus that enveloped the Magic as the soap opera that surrounded Howard's contract status played itself out.
He's ready, Anderson said, to offer the 19-year-old Davis some advice.
"He has a lot of buzz, a lot of hype and a lot of pressure," said Anderson, who joined the Hornets' in July in a sign-and-trade agreement with Orlando that sent Gustavo Ayon to the Magic. "He's the type of guy who's going to be good as he puts the work in to be. I think, obviously, he has the ability, the natural ability, the physical ability. He can just play. He has a great sense and knack for the game.
"A guy like him (you can) never be relaxed, just listen to people tell you how great you are. Just keep working at it and keep getting better. I think he needs to get stronger. That's a big thing for him. But as long as he keeps working and has the same head that he has now, he's got a very bright future. I'm excited to see where his career is going to go."
Time management, however, could be as crucial to Davis' first-year success as the steps he takes to improve his physical presence, court awareness and strength and conditioning.
New Orleans Hornets owner Tom Benson addresses team and says he's all about winning
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss...ner_tom_3.htmlAppearing at his first New Orleans Hornets' media day event since purchasing the franchise for $338 million in April from the NBA, owner Tom Benson posed for team photos and addressed the team Monday at the Alario Center.
He told players that hes all about winning and he wants them to work hard. During a team photo session, Benson was seen giving a thumbs-up sign as he stood next to his smiling wife, Gayle.
Benson was not made available to the media and he quickly left after the teams photo session ended.
Joining Benson at media day was his trusted right-hand man, Dennis Lauscha, who is the president of both the Saints and Hornets. Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis, who also holds a dual role as the Hornets Executive Vice President, also attended.

Ladakh The Hard Way: By Road
By Mridula Dwivedi
There are many ways to reach Ladakh. Some brave souls do it by motorcycle. There are even more noble spirits, who manage it by cycling. I cannot say much about these, apart from that it will provide excellent opportunity for photography, whatever may be the hardships.
Reaching Ladakh is not so easy, unless you decide to fly both ways. But then, as a friend says, if you fly you miss everything in between. Still, there are two air travel carriers - Indian Airlines (government owned) and Jet Airways (private firm) that offer regular flights from all parts of the country to Leh, the capital of Ladakh. The flights cost something like 12,500 ($284) Indian rupees for a return ticket, and I consider it pretty expensive.
The more mundane way to reach Ladakh is by road. It is cheap, it offers fantastic views on the Manali-Leh highway but it is so tiring. There are two ways to reach Ladakh by road. One is the Srinagar-Leh highway and the other the Manali-Leh highway. We decided to go by the Manali-Leh highway, as Manali is closer to New Delhi.
Delhi to Manali: On a Supposedly Luxury Coach
From New Delhi, Manali is a 16-hour (585 kilometer, 336 miles, but better roads) bus journey, which can be done by government run buses or services offered by private operators. The government run buses are uncomfortable and they have 3X2 seating arrangement. The private operators claim to have 2X2 luxury busses but more often than not, they turn out to be not so luxurious.
My bus seat on the Delhi-Manali highway had various lumps and it refused to recline properly. And I was paying a premium price (Rupees 500, $11.50) for traveling in a luxury bus! There are some top end AC Volvo buses that ply on the same route but they cost even more and do not fit in my budget. We stayed for two days in Manali and then started for Leh.
Manali to Leh: A Test of Endurance
We did not pre-book our tickets to Leh. We asked around in a few travel agents and found that prices could vary by a margin of 200 ($4.50) rupees from shop to shop. A jeep ticket can cost anything between 800 to 1100 rupees ($18 to $25).
The back seats cost less, for the obvious reason that you get really danced around on the route if you occupy one. The middle and the front seats cost the same in a jeep. One can also book an entire jeep but it is costly at rupees 10,000 ($ 227) upwards for one way, then you might as well fly. If one desires, the jeep option is also available with a night halt.
Dowdy But Reliable
When we started at 2 a.m., I was pretty excited. My husband, a friend and I were quashed in the middle row with an unknown gentleman occupying the unofficial fourth seat.
The next time I became fully aware about my surroundings, it was already daylight. The jeep had stopped at a cluster of small tea huts and without brushing my teeth I had my fill. Another two hours, and we had started climbing up and as far as the eye could see, it was snow all around. For a long time we kept going through this beautiful route without stopping anywhere and that meant no opportunity to take photographs.
Luckily at one place, due to a huge army vehicle and a truck coming face to face, there was a traffic jam. We were asked to stop by an army personnel and I welcomed the opportunity to stretch my legs and to use my camera.
By 12 noon I started feeling hungry and by two in the afternoon I was positively desperate. I was unclear what was dominating me more, hunger or sleep. We later crossed the highest pass on the route -- Baralacha-La, at 16,050 feet (4892 meters). Finally, at around 2:30 p.m. we arrived at food tents in Pang.
I was so tired by now that I only know I ate chapatti with vegetables but it left no taste in my mouth. It seemed to me that we had been traveling since eternity and we must be almost there. How mistaken I was!
A Sight to Behold
Soon after we started from Pang, our driver took a short cut through a vast open field. On one side of it was looming a greenish-grey looking mountain and in far distance some wild horses and our jeep was racing through it for at least an hour.
Later we once again started climbing up for a long time and it became increasingly difficult to breath. Though, the climb did not last very long but by six in the evening I was willing to believe any place to be Leh.
We stopped for tea around 6:30 in the evening and the place was just 50 kilometers from Leh. From here on, the way was much more flat and the roads better. Still, we arrived in Leh dead tried at 8:10 in the evening. We quickly found a hotel, dumped our luggage and started looking for a restaurant to eat. My head had started playing music inside it and breath was funny because of the altitude by now.
Is there a better way?
We started at 5:00 in the morning and I was sitting on the window and looking out. By now I have mastered the art of taking pictures with my digital camera on a moving bus. Though we were simply retracing our route, it was still difficult to believe that the road could contain a bus, it was so narrow. Not only was it narrow, the curves seemed impossible to negotiate. But the state transport driver did all that and more.
At one point in our journey, our way was blocked by a Tata Sumo as it got stuck on that part of the road where water was pouring in the form of a small stream from the melting snow, which we had encountered at many other places.
At this spot, whatever tricks the driver of the Sumo tried, the vehicle refused to budge. It crossed my mind that we might be forced to spend the night at this freezing spot. After watching the proceedings for a while our bus driver asked us all to get in and to go to the back of the bus and stand there in a group. He would try to cross the patch.
My heart was thudding in my mouth as the bus lurched forward swaying crazily. After a few anxious moments, which seemed like ages then, we were out in the clear. I am so glad this happened only once in the entire journey.
Did we find the bus journey less tiring than the jeep journey? I don't think so. The bus moves much more slowly. Thus, the total time spent on the road increases. So, while going to Leh we reached somewhere the same night, on return journey we managed to reach only up to Kelong by 9:00 p.m., and had to put up in a small hotel.
The end result of the bus journey was once again we were dead tired, so much so that it made an ordinary person like me to turn philosophical about my existence or the continuation of it! Still, if I have to do it all again, I will try doing it by bicycle. If I do it by road again, for variety I will try the Leh-Srinagar highway the next time around. A more sensible approach could be to travel one way by road and fly the other way round.

The machine has a funnel-type chimney feeder at the top attached to a long, cylindrical body that rotates and spits the candy into bowls at the bottom that correspond to each color of the Skittles rainbow. According to the description, Brian utilized BASIC Stamp 2 and 3 for actuation and an IR LED and phototransistor for separation. The rest of the machine is made up of telescope parts, PVC, and epoxy that that Brian fabricated himself.

Without holiday tournaments, local basketball teams would have some serious rust to brush off on Friday. As conference action resumes across the area, a full slate of games ends what otherwise would have been a two-week break from basketball.
Coaches cringe at the idea of inactivity for so long, and they can accomplish only so much with practice. That's where these tournaments fit in, as they offer not only a chance to play actual games, but to do so in a tournament setting, providing an experience that can pay off when the postseason arrives.
Putting these events together each year, though, can be tricky for tournament organizers and not always profitable.
Tournaments at Cherryville and East Lincoln went by without title sponsors this season, forcing the hosts to cut corners to stay in the black financially. Meanwhile, Peoples Bank continued to sponsor the tournament that was Lincolnton's turn to host this year.
Sun Drop and BB&T have previously sponsored the Cherryville tournament, which first started in 1981 and just completed its 20th edition, having not held the tournament from 1984 to 1995. Lincoln Bank, First Charter Bank and Fifth Third Bank have formerly paid for the title sponsorship of the East Lincoln tournament, which was held for a 23rd consecutive year last week.
The banks paid anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 to sponsor the East Lincoln tournament, which was renamed the East Lincoln Winter Jam for the past three seasons after corporate support dried up.
"Everybody I talked to said, 'I'd love to help but with the economy we can't do it,'" said organizer Chip Ashley, assistant coach for East Lincoln's varsity boys team.
The last year the East Lincoln tournament received corporate support was 2009 when Fifth Third Bank paid $5,000 for the naming rights. Since then, the tournament has charged competing teams an entry fee to help cover costs. That entry fee this year amounted to $125 per team, which Ashley said has not deterred any school that's been invited.
Expenses for the East Lincoln tournament included $3,600 for officials (the fee is set by the N.C. High School Athletic Association), $1,100 for security and another several thousand dollars on hospitality room and staff such as scorekeepers and gatekeepers.
Between the entry fee and fan admission ($8 per day or $21 for a three-day pass), the tournament brought in enough revenue to break even, Ashley said.
"And that's all I hope to do: make enough to have a quality tournament where everybody's happy with good competition," Ashley said. "So far, so good."
Ashley wants to regain a sponsor for next season. At the peak of sponsorship, the tournament provided gifts such as sweaters to the coaches, gave a T-shirt to each player and returned a profit of $200 to $350 per team.
At Cherryville, the renamed Bud Black/Dennis Tate Holiday Classic didn't have a title sponsor but did collect numerous smaller donations from businesses and individuals.
"Every 25 dollars or so adds up," said Black, a Cherryville boys assistant coach who has organized the tournament each year.
The tournament has never operated financially in the red, Black said. Like East Lincoln's tournament, this one features 24 games over a three-day stretch, which runs up a $3,600 bill for officials. Other expenses include security and staff. Out-of-town teams (and the Cherryville tournaments includes several of those each year) must pay for their own lodging.
To keep costs down, Cherryville's coaches volunteer some of the work, such as gym cleanup each day. A fund that Black's family has contributed to over the years also helps with expenses where needed. Even without a title sponsor this season, Black said everything works out financially.
"I've had no problem since I've been doing it," Black said. "You've just got to take the time. I enjoy it."
The Peoples Bank Holiday Clash generated around $5,000 for Lincolnton, this year's host, Lincolnton athletic director Scott Cloninger estimated. Peoples Bank contributed $1,500 for the title sponsorship and renewed its contract for four more years.
The two-day, eight-game tournament has expenses of $1,200 for officials and $600 for security. Volunteers work the gate, concession stand and other jobs, and local restaurants supply food for the hospitality room. Admission is $6 and participating teams do not pay an entry fee. The tournament site rotates among the participating schools (Lincolnton, North Lincoln, West Lincoln and Bandys) and the host keeps the proceeds each year.
These tournaments don't always go on without a hitch. Ashbrook's girls found themselves in an unusual situation when the tournament they entered expanded from six teams to eight teams days before the tournament. The Bank of York/Wing Bonz Varsity Girls Basketball Tournament asked teams to play two games on the first of two days, something that violates N.C. High School Athletic Association rules.
Ashbrook won its first game but was unable to play its second game, missing out on a chance to reach the championship. The Green Wave wound up going 2-0 in the tournament, with Alexis Wallace scoring 38 total points and Logan Carter 33.
"For those girls, all they wanted to do was play," Ashbrook coach Juan Smith said. "After they knew how things were going to go, it was a great situation for all of us because of the cohesiveness it created with these girls."
And that's why basketball teams spend a good chunk of their Christmas break on the court.
"I don't see how teams do it (without entering a tournament)," Ashley said. "We kind of use this tournament as a springboard going into the heart of our conference season. It lets us know where we're at. It's done nothing but help our kids over the years and I can't imagine our kids not playing over the break."

Laced Leo Romero
Brown Gum Gold
The Emerica team's favorite shoe is a super-thin skate chiller. This version was inspired by Leo Romero.
Emerica team rider-inspired and desired, the Laced is a super-thin skate chiller that is, despite its name, meant to be worn without laces…just like Andrew runs 'em. Don't worry, a special hidden elastic band will keep these pups snug. But, we threw a set of laces in the box in case you want to tie up anyway.
• Overall thin design keeps feet comfy and provides maximum board feel for greater accuracy.
• Elastic tongue-centering straps keep tongue from sliding down sideways.
• Full-length EVA foam midsole cushions bottom of feet during heavy impacts.
• Gum rubber cupsole with zigzag tread pattern provides maximum grip for more confident skating.
• Triangle logo on tongue.
• Pure logo on side.
• Emerica Combo logo on footbed.

Guest blog written by Deborah Dubow Press, ASPCA Regulatory Affairs Manager.
We frequently hear tragic news stories involving animals traveling in airplane cargo holds, and it's no wonder—these animals are exposed to lots of dangers in transit. They can be left on the tarmac in the hottest summer months, transported in unsafe carriers that do not meet humane standards, or be carelessly lost in the shuffle of air cargo traffic.
Currently, the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires airlines to report the losses, injuries and deaths of pets only. Reporting requirements exclude commercial shipments of animals—like a batch of puppies heading from a breeder to a pet store. This means that there are many appalling incidents the public never hears about.
The DOT Responds
A new rule proposed by the DOT could lead to greater transparency by airlines and help give people a clearer picture of the risks involved in transporting animals as cargo. The new rule would require airlines to report incidents involving commercially shipped cats and dogs, as well as more than double the number of airlines required to report incidents.
While the proposed rule is better than the one in place now, it still has room for improvement. For instance, it doesn't cover all animals transported as part of a commercial air shipment—only dogs and cats.
Take Action!
The Department of Transportation is accepting comments until August 28. Please tell them that all animals deserve to be protected during air transport while being shipped as cargo. In your comments, please include the following:
- You support the DOT's decision to extend coverage to all dogs and cats.
- Reporting requirements are essential to inform consumers about the risks associated with transporting animals by air, and people deserve this information so they can make informed decisions about traveling safely with their pets.
- You want the rule to extend reporting requirements to all animals shipped commercially, not just dogs and cats.
Go to regulations.gov to submit comments directly to the DOT.
My comment has to do with the airline approved animal crates. I purchased one from Remington through petco..cost close to $100...they advertised that the crate would hold any dog...one of my pits got out...I emailed them informing them that the dog was supposed to be shipped to Japan...so glad we didn't he might have gotten out in the airplane and possibly killed...they should not advertise that they are guaranteed against a dog getting out and taking a chance that they could get out in the cargo section of the airplane and getting killed...I was not satisfied with their answer...and their guarantees.
I used to work for an airline. One time when I was checking in for a flight the customer in front of me had two dogs that looked like dachsands but were way larger, about 2 1/2 feet long and hefty. The customer had been told that to carry an animal in the cabin they had to fit in a carrier under the seat, about 9 inches high. The customer was insisting on putting the dogs in a carrier and carrying them on board. It was obvious to all of us standing in line that there was no way that the dogs would fit in an onboard carrier without cutting large pieces off of them.
2nd comment,
One time when I worked for the airline there was a strike that involved 5 major airlines. The airline I worked for was the only major airline flying. A man called from Texas and wanted to ship his dog, who was in heat, to Boston for breeding. We were not accepting animals due to our crowded flights and the summer heat. He insisted, I refused, he insisted, I refused. I don't know how he got the dog there but we didn't accept her.
Third comment. A co-worker was working the international desk. A woman booked a site-seeing trip around Europe then said she would be bringing her dog along with her. It was small enough to fit under our seats but some European airlines wouldn't accept pets at all. So they started over, trying to avoid non-accepting airlines. Finally my co-worker said "Ma'am, why are you dragging this little dog all over Europe?" The lady replied "because no one will notice me if I don't have little Fifi with me".
Animals are not cargo. They are living breathing creatures. Helpless. Huge fines and regulations are the only way for change. Unfortunately money is what is cared about, not suffering. This must stop .
I am totally devasted to know that this is going on.What is wrong with the airlines? Don't they realize what an impact thie must have not only on the animals, but the owners as well. Please make sure this is taken care of as soon as possible.
I don't think animals should be shipped in cargo to begin with. However, knowing that the airlines certainly won't want to spend any of the money they're making charging every fee under the sun they can think of to keep animals safer, perhaps this is the only thing available. Why haven't discloser rules been in place since animals have been put in cargo?
I think animals should be able to ride with the owners.

During the next 40 years Robalo was owned by AMF, Cobia, and then Brunswick before being acquired by its current owner, Chaparral. The quality of the boats varied somewhat through these transitions, but under Chaparral's direction (beginning in 2001) Robalo re-established itself as a premium builder of extremely high-quality fishing boats. Upon the acquisition construction techniques and materials were thoroughly enhanced and by 2010, every model in the line had been completely re-tooled or developed from scratch. Today, Robalo's offerings range from an 18' center console to a 30' walkaround, plus a dual-console multi-use model line.

This was the second Rhyperior because te first had LightningRod (that guy is still in my PC, nobody wants a LightningRod Rhyperior. Plus, he is there for memories. That guy has Rock Wrecker.) Rhyperior can either be defensive or Offensive. I choose for mine offensive because that is what I am. My good Rhyperior, the one who I sometimes use, knows: Stone Edge: High power, good chance for a critical hit, STAB, type coverage. Used to deal with Ice types. Earthquake: From here on, I'm not going to list reasons for this move. Megahorn: High power, used to deal with Grass types. Avalanche: Deals with Ground types and Grass types, high accuracy and usually high power, otherwise decent power. Works well because Rhyperior is SLOOOOOW. Also deals with the ever popular Dragon type.

Rock Wrecker is pretty much a Guarenteed OHKO agaisn't just about anything that it hits Neutral, Outrage is for those pesty dragons ( Oh look at me! I have a Garchomp ! ) Megahorn offers high powered coverage, along with Earthquake for STAB and coverage.

Quality and style
I love my invitations they are so beautiful and the material is perfect. Only thing I didn't like was that I didn't realized how different the invitation color would be with ivory to the cream envelopes. Magnetstreet staff was very helpful. I highly recommend them.
Love these!
I absolutely love these invitations and am so excited to have found something that fits our lovebird theme and that is customizable for the color. I ordered the invitations in shades of purple to match our wedding colors, and they came out great! I'm considering getting some sort of sticker or gemstone adhesive to "seal" the invitation, but am undecided about it at this point in time. Either way, I would completely recommend these!

Lightroom Question
I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum for this question, but here goes. I have both a core 2 duo Imac and a core two duo Macbook Pro that seem to be struggling with Lightroom 4. I have only one catalog with probably about thirty thousand photos in it and if I select all photos, it takes forever to generate previews. I would really rather not separate the photos into smaller categories to keep it easier to search for a particular photo. My question concerns whether I should purchase a new computer or would installing an SSD in one pick the speed up enough to be usable? All my photos are stored on an external hard drive if that makes a difference. I'm not quite sure where or how previews are generated. Thanks for any help

Lightroom Catalogs
Here is a great article that will give you some insight about lightroom and why it is slowing down. Yes, the write up is about large image files but the solution they utilize is the solution you'll likely find your self needing. Step 2 and Step 3 are the meat of the matter. http://photographylife.com/efficient...olution-images
Throwing more hardware at this is not the solution but rather a way to relieve the symptoms. Your photo catalogs are only going to continue to increase in size as you add more and more photos. You need a better workflow, not more hardware. It will become a very expensive proposition otherwise, as every couple of years you'll need to be upgrading your hardware.
On a side note I recently upgraded to iPhoto 9.4 and notice a considerable performance hit . It seems to me the speed with which both iPhoto and Lightroom perform is directly related to the size of the photo library they are dealing with.
I suspect that at some point in the future Apple and Adobe will optimize how the libraries ("catalog" in Lightroom) function, thus speeding up the performance. But until then, to keep a speedy computer, it is up to design a workflow that works efficiently with these programs.

|Nov 12, 2012, 10:13 AM
You may want to consider some hardware upgrades, but it depends on how other suggestions work. One thing you didn't mention is how much ram you have in each computer. Memory is inexpensive (as long as you don't buy it from Apple).
Some people go strictly by year (or groups of years). Some go be event/outing type. It depends on how much one shoots and would work the best for the person in question.
If you use the correct breakdown for the photos you take you should never have to search more than one library. Maybe 2 at the outside.
You may also wind up with a 'Miscellaneous' library for random photo shoots that don't fall in to your major categories. I currently have 4 libraries for Aperture including a miscellaneous one.

Personally I would n0t continue to invest in dual core machines. Sell or trade and get the best quad core the budget allows. Also consider if you really need both a laptop and desktop. My rMBP replaced my previous laptop and desktop.
My LR catalog has over 50,000 files and has no problems.

I would really rather not split up my catalog if I don't have to.

A classic MBP is an excellent choice for at home and on the road. Continuing to use the ACD is a great way to hold down the costs.

I agree that refining your workflow is the first step, before throwing more hardware at this problem. However, my question to you is... why are generating previews for all 30k photos at once?
I'm not on my Lr computer at the moment, but I'm sure there is a way to generate and previews, and then keep them. IIRC I have mine set to discard previews after 30 days. But... I never look at all of my photos all at once in any case.
Are you using Keywords extensively? If so, you should be able to search just a subset of your photos. Are you using Collections? Instead of individual catalogues, try setting up master Collection Sets. I have one for Clients, one for Family, and one for my Art. Easier to drag images into the appropriate Collection than to close one catalogue an open another. It also prevents importing into the wrong catalogue.
Short version.... get better about organizing Collections, Keywords, and even ratings and colours labels and you will find you will never have to look at all 30k images. Generating previews then becomes a lot faster.

I have an 15" Retina fully maxed out, but the D800 along with a large catalogue has really slowed things down in comparison to my old D700.

Everyone works a bit differently, but I mostly work on 'themed' projects. The 1st thing I do is set up a Collection Set. It's the container that holds everything. Inside this Collection Set I will put a Collection that holds all of them my images for that project. Every single one, unranked and unfiltered. If I'm looking for an image that I can't find anywhere else, it'll be in there. Alongside this Collection is set up my Smart Collections, that basically just show me the images in this project that meet certain criteria - above a certain rank, colour labeled, with a set of keywords, etc etc. Finally I usually have a Collection with the 'final' images. These are the ones that will be presented somehow. They've been edited, cropped, developed, gone to Photoshop and back, whatever. Images here are put there consciously....not through a Smart Collection Filter.
This is just one example. Your situation will be different obviously.
I also have a Collection Set labeled "My Projects", where all the projects go. I can see every image that is a "Project" - which excludes my client work, or my 'family' stuff.
Lightroom has powerful tools to cut down on the clutter you have to wade through. I like browsing the Community Help section on the Adobe website. Well moderated, and their contributors are very good.

Thank you all for your help. I will see what I can do to my catalog to speed it up. I do have a couple more questions while we are on this subject and I have your attention. I know one reason for my slow speeds in Lightroom is the the way I store my photos, so maybe I could get some ideas as to how to do a better job of it. Currently, I import all my photos to an external USB 2 drive and work with them from there. The main computer I use for editing is an Imac with a 320 gig harddrive so there isn't much room for storage there and I really don't want to open it up to add a drive. Any suggestions as to a better option would be appreciated.
My second question is, if I upgrade to a new Macbook Pro, I would preferably purchase a refurb, and I see that they offer it with a couple of different graphics cards. I was wondering which one might be a better choice for photo editing? Thanks for any help.
|Nov 13, 2012, 12:04 PM
Yes, my understanding is that the USB 2 connection will be slowing you down. Moving the images to an external HDD with a faster connection will make a difference. I'm guessing that you're best bet is FW800. I think it will make a noticeable improvement. I have a few of the Seagate GoFlex Drives.... basically a small external HDD with an interchangeable connection. I have a few USB 2 connectors - I used these for my nightly backups where speed doesn't matter (I'm backing up an internal HDD).
However, if I need a fast external I also have a FW800 connector... and it works fast enough for me.
There are other FW solutions... sales are coming up too.
Your basic graphic card will work fine for Lightroom and Photoshop - if you are dealing with still images and not movies. A basic graphic card displays all the colours your files have recorded, and then some. If you get into videos, then an upgraded graphics card might be worth considering. A video card then needs to put a whole bunch of pictures on the screen, one after another, very very quickly. But - just straight video - is not very hard on a graphics card. It's when it needs to help calculate video things... like animation ... that you need a top-notch card.
So... if your images are on an external HDD, how are you backing them up? I know you know that you need to... but are you? If not....Tut Tut (smile). There, you have been scolded.....
Seriously... if you are not backing them up, just be aware that one of your future posts will be asking how to recover 30k+ images from a crashed hard-drive. Sooner or later. You would rather be getting advice on how to move your backed up images back into a catalogue, instead of on expensive data recovery services, or how to freeze (or bake) the hard-drive because it once worked for someone's cousin's ex brother-in-law's sister's husband.

Are you backing up (with photo mechanic) only on import...or are you backing up the photos as well from the Lr file system? I'm asking because the catalogue may be keyed to the name Lr knows about. If you are using photo mechanic to rename the images as you import them, and if you are backing up only on import then it's possible the images are called something different on the backups than in the catalogue.... making a backup copy of the catalogue sort of less than useful.
So, please forgive me for fussing one more time... I care very deeply for the health and well being of images....

As far as being concerned about their well being, I'm not too sure that very many of them would be missed too much by anyone other than me, if they were lost forever.

In my experience a single large catalog does not cause performance issues and hasn't been a concern since LR2. I have over 40K photos in my library and I have them all in one well defined catalog. I do however start a new folder for every year and name my files by date so my HD is also organized at import.
A common remedy for wonkiness is to trash your preferences file. I too backup upon exit but you should make a point of clearing out old versions because they might be taking up a ton of room on your HD - my .lrcat file is almost 700mb so even a months worth of backups would take up like 20 gb!
|Nov 15, 2012, 07:34 AM
|Nov 15, 2012, 08:35 AM
Correct, LR just keeps adding new backups by date and does not overwrite existing backups. Check your users/Pictures/Lightroom/Backups folder and you'll find date named folders with each existing .lrcat file within. You're going to want to keep an eye on that and clear it out every now and then...
You can also set the camera raw cache size in preferences. I have mine set to 10GB which might even be a little small but the default setting is 1GB. I think once or twice I've chosen to purge this when things were getting slow and it did alleviate the sluggishness.
Finally you might want to try choosing file/optimize catalog according to Adobe this 'instructs Lightroom to examine the data structure of the catalog and make sure that it is succinct'.
|Nov 15, 2012, 09:13 AM
|Nov 15, 2012, 10:27 AM
Obviously a purge will cause LR to have to re-render all the previews and so would take time to rebuild which would take you back to square one of your post...
The macbook core 2 duo is limited to 8GB of RAM I believe - I just sold mine and bought a 15" 2.3 i7 and installed 16GB of RAM. It really made a difference when roundtripping massive 150GB panoramas from LR to PS but otherwise I thought the core 2 duo was fine.

I've heard "marinate on" used instead of "meditate on" twice recently—just now on the Tavis Smiley Show on NPR.
It seems to be pretty common in writing as well.
Videos That Give You Something to Marinate On…
http://dotheknowledge.com/transcend/vid … arinate-on
Marinate On This!
So, now that you've had some time to marinate on it, can you think of anyone more authentic than Kid Rock?
http://www.formspring.me/jeffgerstmann/ … 1097318607
Go on and marinate on that for a minute
http://www.musicsonglyrics.com/O/outkas … lyrics.htm
This blogger grasps the difference between "marinate" and "marinade" but misses "meditate" altogether:
http://www.clevelandsaplum.com/2009/11/ … t-for.html
An AP story by Ronald Blum quotes Jerry Manuel as saying "we have to review and kind of marinate on why we don't make it." But the AP obviously knows better than the speaker, because it put "Marinate" in quotation marks in the title.
http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/ba … anuel.html
Some people clearly think they "marinate" and "meditate" are near-synonyms, because they'll use them together:
I had all of this downtime to really marinate and meditate on what I wanted in my life.
http://business.transworld.net/41284/fe … e-wallace/
Marinate and Meditate on this
The phrase has become common enough so that it is even used in a rap song:
We marinate and meditate on wheels of steel.
http://www.lyricsbay.com/walk_on_clouds … n_eso.html
The logic that makes this an eggcorn seems fairly clear. You are letting ideas soak into your brain when you "marinate" on them.
The only context I can think of in which "marinate on" would be standard English usage is something like "leave the chicken to marinate on the counter while you prepare the rest of the ingredients."
I'm wondering if these usages are unintentional. Might the speakers be using them tongue-in-cheek?
A few people use "marinate" as a joke, but many of the examples I've found look very sincere, particularly the religious ones.
Might this also have some connection with "ruminate on" as well? Is that kind of consonant-swapping considered a valid eggcorn?
I was saving this for my "April 1—Bring out your nonces" post, but it's better here. I pegged it as a blend of mature and marinate. At least I hoped that's what it was. It might also be, it occurs to me now seeing your post, ilpirata, as you say, a simultaneous blend/eggcorn squash/metathesis of marinate and ruminate.
I just love Flavors and the way they murinate in my mouth.

Neil Patrick Harris: The Doogie Howser M.D-turned-How I Met Your Mother Star revealed he's gay in 2006, telling people, "I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love." He and partner David Burtka welcomed their twins (via surrogate mother) in 2010.
Lance Bass: Justin Timberlake's former N'Sync band-mate said he's gay in 2006, telling People, "I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said [that I was gay,] it would overpower everything." He's dated hunks like Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuh, Lorenzo Martone and Kyan Douglas.
Portia De Rossi: The gorgeous Australian actress dated Ringo Starr's stepdaughter, Francesca Gregorini, before beginning a relationship with Ellen Degeneres in 2004. Four years later, the two married. Ellen Degeneres: The comic-turned-talk show host declared she was a lesbian on The Oprah Winfrey show in 1997, and in 2006, became the first openly gay host of the Academy Awards. After a three-year relationship with Anne Heche, she married her current wife, Portia De Rossi, in 2008.
Rosie O'Donnell: The outspoken talk show host, who long talked about a crush she had on Tom Cruise, came out as a lesbian in 2002 during a benefit at New York's famed comedy club, Caroline's. "I don't know why people make such a big deal about the gay thing," the Exit To Eden star said. "People are confused, they're shocked, like this is a big revelation to somebody."
Elton John: The I'm Still Standing singer, who married his current hubby David Furnish in December 2005, said coming out in 1973 was "the best thing I ever did was be true to myself." John and Furnish welcomed their first son Zachary Jackson Levon (born to a surrogate) on Christmas Day 2010.
Cynthia Nixon: The red-headed Sex and The City star -- who has two children from her ex of 15 years, Danny Mozes -- announced her engagement to her partner, activist Christine Marinoni, in 2009. Nixon told The Advocate Marinoni's "basically a short man with boobs ... a lot of what I love about her is her butchness ... I love her sexuality -- it's a big part of what I love about her."
Ricky Martin: The gorgeous Martin, who burned up the pop charts with hit like "She Bangs" and "Livin' La Vida Loca," long kept quiet about his sexuality until coming out in 2010, writing on his website, "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man."
Drew Barrymore: The Wedding Singer beauty told New Woman magazine in July 2003 that she's "always considered [herself] bisexual" because she thinks "a woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful."
Angelina Jolie: The Tomb Raider star is admittedly bisexual, and was once involved with model Jenny Shimizu. She told Barbara Walters in 2003, "If I fell in love with a woman tomorrow, would I feel that it's okay to want to kiss and touch her? If I fell in love with her? Absolutely! Yes!"
Rupert Everett: The openly-gay My Best Friend's Wedding Star has said that gay actors are stymied in the movie business, telling The Observer in 2009, "The fact is that you could not be, and still cannot be, a 25-year-old homosexual trying to make it in the British film business or the American film business or even the Italian film business. It just doesn't work and you're going to hit a brick wall at some point."

Sato's life is going down the drain. He's dropped out of college, only goes outside once a week, and sleeps sixteen hours a day. Surviving on a steady diet of internet porn sites, he finds himself falling further into a pit of despair. Then he has a sudden epiphany. Sato decides that the sinister broadcast company known as "The NHK" is trying to transform their viewers into jobless, societal recluses, and they bombard them with images of cutesy anime girls.

Is this mysterious visitor an angel of mercy, or a devilish agent of the NHK? Will he get a job and counter the evil organization, or will he submit to his weakness and download porn all day? Swimming in a sea of corruption, Sato prepares for the battle of his life. Welcome to the NHK!

GRAHAM - Scott Zienty said he believes the
Centro La Comunidad is a Latino resource center in
The commissioners decided on Monday to send Zienty's nomination back to the Human Relations Council for further review because of concerns they expressed over how long Zienty has lived in the community. According to his nomination application, Zienty has lived in Elon for a year and a half. His employer is listed as Centro La Comunidad on the application.
Zienty's nomination was among three nominations under consideration for the Human Relations Council.
It wasn't clear during the meeting whether the commissioners agreed to reappoint Smith and Moir to serve another term. County
Commissioner Bill Lashley requested Zienty's nomination be pulled from the consent agenda for discussion. Both Lashley and Commissioner David Smith said they were fine with the two reappointments but had some reservations about appointing Zienty to the council.
Smith said he would like to see someone appointed on the council who has lived in the area for longer than Zienty.
"The reason that I have on Mr. Zienty is that he's only been in
Commissioner Tim Sutton requested
According to the Human Relations Council constitution and bylaws, the council members serve two-year terms. Some of the council's duties include studying and recommending strategies for the prevention of potential human relations problems and crises as well as identifying and documenting areas of human needs in housing, employment, education and recommending strategies for meeting those needs.
The council also serves as a conciliatory body for resolving tension and human conflict in times of public disorder. According to the bylaws, the council cannot have more than 25 people. The council uses subcommittees to oversee education, employment, housing, and publicity.
Zienty said on Wednesday he was surprised to learn that the commissioners didn't approve his nomination.
"I want to know why I am being singled out," Zienty said.
Zienty pointed out that the commissioners had approved Maseta Dorley of Whitsett last Oct. 22 to serve on the council. Dorley had lived in the
Zienty said he didn't want to believe that his work with local Latino groups was a factor in the commissioners' decision to withhold his nomination but based on what happened it was difficult for him to come to any other conclusion.
SMITH AND LASHLEY said on Wednesday their reason to withhold support for Zienty had nothing to do with his work in the Latino community. Smith said it didn't matter to him who Zienty worked for and that he didn't believe Zienty had been in the community long enough to serve on the council.
Smith was not on the board in October when Dorley was approved. Lashley said he still believes that Zienty shouldn't be on the board because of the brief time he has lived in the county and that it had nothing to do with his work for Centro La Comunidad.
Lashley said he wasn't impressed with Zienty's credentials and that he wouldn't be the best person to place on the council.
According to
Commissioner Tom Manning said on Wednesday that if Zienty had questions or concerns about the nomination approval process he should contact the board first and not run to the media. Manning said he believes Zienty is making his claims against the county commissioners to gain publicity.
Zienty said Wednesday that he tried to call a couple of commissioners this week and was unsuccessful.
Zienty said it is his understanding that it was not common for the commissioners to
"People get approved all the time," Zienty said.
Zienty said he was approached by Human Relations Council chairwoman Alexa
Zienty's nomination application was submitted to the county on Feb. 5. He said he was prepared to serve if needed. Zienty said he believed that there are still some tensions in the Latino community over the results of the Department of Justice's investigation into the
Sutton said on Wednesday the commissioners would investigate Zienty's background and decide whether he should be on the council. Sutton said he didn't have an issue during the nomination hearing over the number of years that Zienty had lived in the community as a reason to withhold his nomination.
Sutton said he wanted the commissioners to do their due diligence on every nomination to learn more about the nominees' backgrounds and decide if they are best qualified to serve on the council. Sutton said he believes that Zienty has showed through his charges of discrimination against the commissioners that he wouldn't be the best person to serve on the council.
Commissioner Linda Massey was unavailable for comment on Wednesday.

I have been exploring whether several of the Christian Bibles actually justify intolerance against homosexuals. In short, I concluded that Biblical scripture has been a major justification of anti-gay sentiment around the world, and this problem has been largely swept under the philosophical rug by gay-tolerant Christians. My entire article was published here:
It turns out that New Testament scripture pretty clearly preaches intolerance for homosexual behavior. I do agree in some cases that the original meaning of certain words from these passages have been mistranslated, but most view the Bible as the word of god and mistranslated or not, it makes those who believe in the Biblical scripture a major obstacle for gay rights supporters in the US. Anyways, am I wrong in thinking that biblical scripture has been a major philosophical justification of anti-gay sentiment around the world?
