|In the 1970s and '80s, amid the rise of New Wave and synth pop, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers almost single-handedly brought old-school power-pop and garage-rock musical values into the mainstream. The roots-conscious Floridians are often regarded as "heartland rockers," and tunes like the jangling, Byrds-like "American Girl" certainly make a case for that appellation. At the same time, "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "You Got Lucky" eagerly expand that stylistic template with haunting atmospherics and neo-psychedelic touches.
|GREATEST HITS offers a handy, hook-laden, single-disc summary of this great American band. It traverses the Heartbreakers' journey from raw, lean '70s enfants terribles to elder rock-&-roll statesmen. Conveniently, it also includes the two best Heartbreakers tunes never to grace one of their studio albums--"Mary Jane's Last Dance" and the Petty/Stevie Nicks duet, "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around."

BioTom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Not many artists can match Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' long record of commercial success along with a simultaneous period of creative growth and critical acclaim.
In April 1996, Petty received UCLA's George & Ira Gershwin Award For Lifetime Musical Achievement. Previous recipients of the university's award include Ray Charles and Ella Fitzgerald. Petty was the first artist of the rock era to earn this distinction. "I may not own any George and Ira Gershwin records," said Petty at the ceremony, "but I'm honored to be here and I want to thank my fans for showing up at my concerts from time to time."
In 1999, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers received their own star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, an honor that acknowledges both their musical achievements and their humanitarian involvement with such organizations as Greenpeace, the National Veteran's Foundation, USA Harvest, Rock & Wrap It Up, and AmFAR (the American Foundation for AIDS Research).
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers--hailing from Gainesville, Florida before officially forming in Los Angeles--kicked the musical doldrums of the mid-'70s in the face with their 1976 self-titled debut album. It featured a stripped-down-but-accomplished brand of rock that blended jumpy rhythm & blues rhythms, ringing guitars and keyboards, over which Petty grabbed listeners by their throats with his disarmingly blunt lyrics and extremely direct vocal style. Still, it took America a full year to catch up to the album.
1978's follow up, You're Gonna Get It!, proved the debut album's intensity was no fluke. Marking the band's first gold album, it featured the singles "Listen to Her Heart" and "I Need to Know." Success followed success (including Tom's debut solo album and his appearances as a member of The Traveling Wilbury's, as well as more hits with The Heartbreakers).

ENRON'S MANY STRANDS: THE ENERGY MARKET; Power Giants Have Trouble Raising Cash For Plants
By ALEX BERENSON
Published: May 16, 2002
Accused of accounting chicanery and illegally inflating power prices, companies that generate much of the nation's electricity have lost the confidence of investors. For the moment, they are finding it nearly impossible to raise money for new plants, raising the risk of future power shortages, industry experts say.
The stock prices and credit ratings of independent power producers, the companies that are building most new power plants nationwide, have plunged since the collapse of Enron. The crisis has worsened in the last week, amid new disclosures about aggressive business and accounting practices in the sector.
In the short run, the effect on the nation's power supply will be limited. Scores of new plants have been built since 1999, and supply exceeds electricity demand by a comfortable margin nationally.
But if the companies cannot regain the trust of Wall Street and Washington, plant construction may stall for years, leaving some regions short of power later this decade, experts say.
''There is a serious question in my mind about financing the next cycle of power plants,'' said Paul Joskow, an economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an expert on electricity deregulation. ''You're crippling a sector that was supposed to be an engine of investment for these plants.''
The turbulence worsened last week when three companies -- Dynegy, Reliant Resources and CMS Energy -- said they had misled Wall Street by exaggerating the size of their electricity trading divisions. Federal regulators, meanwhile, released documents that appear to show that Enron tried to force up prices in California at the height of the power crisis.
Yesterday, CMS Energy said that it had overstated its revenue by $3.4 billion, or 35 percent, last year as a result of sham electricity trades. An additional $1 billion in phantom trades were made in 2000, the company said.
Standard & Poor's said yesterday that many power producers might face a cash squeeze if their credit ratings dropped further. The bad news knocked shares in several companies -- including CMS, Reliant, Aquila and Dynegy -- to 52-week lows.
''We need to have a healthy environment between the companies and the regulators and the consumers,'' said Steven Fleishman, a utility analyst at Merrill Lynch. ''There needs to be some basis of trust. And there's obviously been tremendous damage done on that trust.''
Wall Street's skepticism about the sector is a sudden change from its attitude only a few months ago, when investors flooded power producers with cash. Last year alone, Calpine raised $5.7 billion from investors to support a $15 billion plan to become the nation's largest power company. Calpine, based in San Jose, Calif., said it planned to build plants with a total capacity of 70,000 megawatts, almost 10 percent of United States production. Mirant, Reliant, Dynegy, and other producers raised tens of billions of dollars more.
But the collapse of Enron caused investors to take a hard look at the accounting practices and heavy debt loads carried by other big power producers. They discovered that the companies had used a variety of accounting gimmicks to make their balance sheets look healthier and their sales and profits seem larger than was really the case.
In some cases, the companies had created special partnerships that enabled them to reduce the debt they had to disclose to investors. In others, they had announced energy trades that did not really exist, increasing their reported sales.
The practices appear to have stemmed from the companies' desire to report fast growth in sales and earnings as a way of persuading investors to finance new plants.
Now, short on cash and under heavy political pressure, the independent producers are postponing or canceling those plants. In March, Calpine canceled 35 orders for natural gas turbines from General Electric and delayed the delivery of 81 other turbines. Calpine said the cuts would lower its capital spending by $3 billion over the next two years. Over all, General Electric plans to build 150 turbines for the United States market next year, down from 284 last year, a spokesman said. The number will shrink again in 2004.
Investment in new power lines, which are badly needed to bring power to several major cities, including New York and San Francisco, has also lagged.
By the middle of this decade, spot power shortages are possible on hot days, Mr. Fleishman said. He added that he was less concerned about generating capacity than about building new transmission lines to get power where it is needed. Paying for those lines is a complex issue that has been pushed off regulators' agendas by the crisis in the independent producers' sector, he said.
''The focus on replaying issues in California and such is taking away attention from the biggest near-term issue in terms of infrastructure need in the sector, which is transmission,'' Mr. Fleishman said. ''We don't have enough transmission in some areas, including downstate New York,'' or New York City and Long Island.

LA HABRA – On a rainy recent Sunday, La Habra's recreation division organized a turn-around trip to Alpine Village for the attraction's Oktoberfest.
A charter bus was reserved to drive the participants from La Habra and nearby communities to the Torrance locale for a day filled with fun and food.
Editha Teaman traveled from Huntington Beach just to be a part of the trip. Originally from Germany, she was excited about the chance to go to Oktoberfest.
"It's very nice. It's my favorite!" she said happily. "I usually run into people I know."
These type of trips are nothing new to Teaman. She's been participating in activities like this for years, and said that she has always enjoyed them.
Every month La Habra organizes up to five different day trips like this to various places in California. Sometimes costing as little $13, the trips are great bargains for people looking for entertainment. Travel fees are included and the charter bus departs from La Bonita Park.
Program Coordinator Katie Elmore said outings often sell out.
"People get to do and see things they wouldn't normally get to," she said. "You can't beat these packages."
Each year Elmore and her department try to plan new and exciting places for travelers to go.
"We try to have a variety and not do the same thing," she said.
Some of the more popular trips such as casino days and culture festivals are repeated more frequently at the participants' request. The staff welcomes feedback in an attempt to make each new trip better than the last.
A number of the passengers are seniors who want to meet new people and travel to places they might not be able to visit alone.
While there are many adult-oriented trips such as the Viejas Casino day, usually people of all ages are welcome and often the trips are child friendly. Families can look forward to days spent at places like the Riverside Airshow, set for March. Events are open to the general public and reservations are made on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The city also organizes weekend trips and extended tours to a number of places both in the United States and overseas. For next year, organizers are planning a "Best of Italy" trip that will show travelers the sights in Rome, Tuscany, and Florence.
Information on all the monthly events can be found on the cities website. Visit www.lahabracity.com and see "City Events." You can also contact the community center to be added to the mailing list.

Although the Disneyland "Happiest Homecoming On Earth" 50th anniversary celebration festivities continue through 2006, the actual anniversary is one of this summer's highly anticipated events. To commemorate this milestone occasion, the following special events are planned to salute 50 years of Disneyland:

House Speaker Kris Steele, who led a three-year effort to pass legislation intended to control prison growth and change how Oklahoma handles prison matters, challenged lawmakers Thursday to continue similar efforts to reduce the state's nation-leading incarceration rates.
More changes are needed to control prison growth, Oklahoma legislative leader says
"The tide has truly
"The achievements of the past three years have been significant, but they are by no means the end of this issue. These policies must be sustained and expanded in the years to come, and I am confident they will be, given the strong stance policymakers have taken by enacting these critical reforms.
"I'm honored to have been a part of it and will continue doing what I can to help advance the cause," said Steele, R-Shawnee, who last year authored a measure expanding the types of inmates eligible for community sentencing and GPS monitoring.
Steele made the comments during a ceremony to mark Gov. Mary Fallin's signing of the measure, House Bill 3052. She signed the measure a day earlier because it was the deadline for her to approve it.
"Increasing public safety is a top priority of my administration and a primary function of state government," Fallin said.
"In addition to lowering crime rates, reducing the incarceration rate and giving law enforcement more resources to fight crime, this bill will help us to save taxpayer dollars by helping our corrections system operate in a more efficient and effective way."
What HB 3052 does
HB 3052 establishes a grant program to fund crime-reduction initiatives by local law enforcement agencies; requires at least nine months of post-release supervision of all felons, which should reduce the recidivism rate; establishes risk, mental health and substance abuse assessments and evaluations before convicted felons are sentenced; and develops intermediary revocation facilities for nonviolent offenders who violate drug court regulations or conditions of probation and parole, which should ease prison overcrowding and save money.

|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Sweet butter
|8 Tablespoon (1 Stick)
|1 Teaspoon
|Sifted unbleached all purpose flour
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Grated parmesan cheese
|1 1⁄2 Cup (24 tbs) (Imported)
Combine milk, butter and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
Remove pan from heat and add the flour all at once.
Whisk vigorously for a few moments, then return the pan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the batter has thickened and is pulling away from the sides and bottom of the pan 5 minutes or less.
Again remove pan from the heat and stir in 4 eggs, one at a time, making certain the first egg is completely incorporated before adding the second.
Then stir in the cheese or cheeses.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Lightly butter a baking sheet.
Drop the batter by tablespoons onto baking sheet, spacing the puffs at least 1 inch apart.
Beat remaining egg in a small bowl.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with additional parmesan if you use it.
Set baking sheet on the center rack of the oven, reduce heat to 350°F., and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until gougeres are puffed and well browned.

YIELD: Makes 8 to 10 servings
For cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9"-diameter cake pan and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Whisk flour and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
Whisk eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar in a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water). Heat, whisking constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg mixture until it is pale and tripled in volume, about 5 minutes.
Gently fold reserved dry ingredients into egg mixture in 3 additions, then fold in melted butter. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake cake until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25–30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool in pan before turning out.
For strawberries and assembly:
Bring strawberries, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons vinegar to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Crush berries with a spoon to release more juices and simmer until berries are completely soft and mixture resembles a coarse jam, 5–8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool.
Using a long serrated knife, slice cake in half horizontally. Spread strawberry mixture over bottom layer of cake and place top layer over strawberry mixture.
Whisk egg whites, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar in a medium bowl until frothy. Gradually whisk in powdered sugar; thin icing with water as needed (it should be pourable).
Place cake on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and pour icing over cake. Spread with an offset spatula to smooth top and cover sides. Let stand at room temperature until set, at least 30 minutes. Decorate with elderflowers, if using, just before serving.
DO AHEAD: Cake can be made 1 day ahead. Store covered at room temperature.

Christianity Today: What the Mirror Can't See
June 29, 2015
This article mentions a 2013 Baylor study of 389 U.S. congregations that had attracted and retained people from diverse races and ethnic groups. But even in churches with a nearly perfect three-way ethnic split – with the largest racial group making up 35 percent of the congregation – members of "out-groups" felt they didn't belong. The study was led by sociologist Brandon C. Martinez, a doctoral candidate in the College of Arts & Sciences, and published in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion. (Terry Goodrich, assistant director of Baylor Media Communications, pitched the story about the study to national media outlets when it was released. She covers sociology research and faculty.)

A Chef's Guide to Manhattan Oysters
Since graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, chef Galen Zamarra has trained under renowned French masters such as Michel Bras, Alain Passard, and Georges Blanc. In 2001, Zamarra won the James Beard Rising Star Chef of the Year award for his work at Bouley restaurant in Manhattan. These days, the Swiss-born (and California-raised) chef is cooking up elegant new American cuisine at his two restaurants in New York's West Village, Mas (farmhouse) and Mas (la grillade).
As an advocate of seasonal cooking that spotlights locally sourced ingredients, Zamarra is no stranger to oysters. With that in mind, we recently caught up with him—after a fabulous meal at Mas (la grillade)—to ask him about them.
What are your favorite ways to prepare oysters in your restaurants?
My favorite way to eat an oyster is raw. I like to serve them topped with a Champagne gelée and caviar. At Mas (la grillade), we grill them in the shells with a lemon-shallot butter.
What are your favorite oyster varieties, and what farms do you prefer to source them from?
Truthfully, I love West Coast oysters over East Coast. I grew up in California, and their taste reminds me of home. But I generally serve more local varieties here. I really like Island Creek oysters; they are versatile, can be served raw or cooked, the shells aren't too brittle, and they have a complex flavor profile.
The Island Creek Oyster Company is my oyster source, not just for their oysters but for many local East Coast farms. They know their oysters and deliver them super fresh from the water. With oysters, that's the most important factor.
What are the best spots to enjoy oysters in New York City?
Obviously, I'm biased. I loved the wood-fired oysters at Mas (la grillade). Some of my other favorites for oysters on the half shell are Aquagrill, Blue Ribbon, Balthazar, and Lure Fishbar.
Are there cocktails that you like to pair with oysters? If so, what do you enjoy most?
If you want spirits and oysters, there is no better place than New Orleans; I'm down there every year. In Nola, there are a lot of preparations like Rockefeller or Bienville. Those are great with absinthe or Pernod, or the Hotel Monteleone's Death in the Afternoon, which is made with Ted Breaux's absinthe and Champagne.
Here in the city, New York Distilling Company's Perry's Tot Navy Strength Gin makes for a fine martini. Also, Industry City distills a vodka (Industry Standard) that I've been liking in my Bloody Marys. To that end, a Bloody Mary is an easy choice, and it saves you the time dumping cocktail sauce on the poor thing.

Don't Worry, Though, Splinter Cell Still Has Stealth
As Alec recently pointed out, Sam Fisher isn't acting much like his old self these days. I mean, he's technically gottenolder, but ' based on what we've seen so far of Blacklist ' he may as well be some testosterone-bloated young gun whodoesn't play by the rules. Shoot this, break the arm of that, hold a man's quivering neckflesh mere centimeters away from jagged glass' unforgiving teeth. These are not the actions of a man for whom the stakes used to be 'Get noticed and be totally disowned by your organization and country.' Now, though, Ubisoft's trying to assure potential players that there's more to the new Sam Fisher than meets the eye. He can still play non-lethal peek-a-boo with the best of them, Blacklist's creators assert.

Best sunscreen I've ever used.
By Katharine
from San Francisco
describe yourself Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Badger Broad Spectrum Sport Sunscreen, SPF 35, Unscented, 2.9 oz:
After trying several different sunscreens on my face and arms (usually different ones), this is a great all-purpose sunscreen. I use this every day, with and without makeup. It's thicker than most sunscreen, so you don't have to use much, and you can see where you are applying it. I love that it's made all of ingredients I recognize, and that it doesn't cause my sensitive skin to breakout. Highly recommended.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The only brand of sunscreen I use
By Kim
from NJ
describe yourself Avid Adventurer
See all my reviews
Badger is the only sunscreen that my family and I use. It works so well and it is non-toxic. I have noticed that most of my sun worshipping spots on my face (before sunscreen days) have went away since I have started using Badger products. This is a thick sunscreen so you have to rub it in. I see this as a pro rather then a con because the sunscreen moisturizes, protects your skin from the elements and acts as a good foundation for makeup. I have only bought "unscented", I think the natural smell of the product smells good.

effective but greasy
By nadjacs
from Belleville, NJ
describe yourself Budget Buyer
This brand is the only sunscreen my skin tolerates. I get bad contact dermatitis rashes any time I use other sunscreens and I have good results (no stinging rashes!) from Badger, so I have tried pretty much all their sunscreens. This one is similar to the others but maybe a bit heavier and greasier, although they are all pretty heavy and greasy.For those of you who like the idea of Badger's sunscreens but hate the scent of the original and even the original unscented, this one smells faintly like chocolate chips. I'm not sure why, but I'm not the only one who noticed it so I'm sure it isn't my imagination. ;-)As with most titanium dioxide products, this is most effective if you DON'T try to rub it in completely. The good part of this is that it's easy to tell if you've missed a spot, and it is also really effective. The bad part is that you'll have that silvery ghostly sheen for hours until it does start to rub off, at which time you need to refresh it. This stuff (the water-resistant "sport" version) has some serious staying power and took some effort to wash off completely later.My only problem came on a day when it got rubbed off on my shoulders over time during the day and I forgot to refresh it. There were clear lines between the places where it had rubbed off and the places where it had stayed.My nieces liked the chocolate chip smell but complained about the stickiness. I would rather have a greasy product that protects me and doesn't cause a rash than a non-greasy one that either doesn't work or causes worse problems than it solves, so I don't mind, but I really wish they could make a product that was as good without the stickiness. :-)

Superior protection
By JoeRunner
from Florida
Yes, it does give a whitish cast but that's what you have to sacrifice for superior protection without chemicals. I wore it all day, multiple days at Disney World and didn't get any sun. It is thick and greasy but worth it if you want total protection.
For full protection, apply liberally (2 mg/cm2 of skin) to all exposed skin 15 minutes before sun exposure, then rub in to reduce whitening effect.
Reapply: after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating; immediately after towel drying; at least every 2 hours
For children under 6 months of age: Ask a doctor
Other Information: Store at temperatures below 90°F.

A quarter century after the fall of the Iron Curtain, family businesses in Central and Eastern Europe are at a crossroads. Overall, 61% of CEE family businesses plan to pass down ownership to the next generation at some point in the future, while 28% plan to sell or float the business. At the same time, many are looking to improve growth and profitability by expanding international sales, transforming operations, and investing in technology.
At the current pace, demand for water will increase by 55% globally by 2050, projects the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This means that water has moved to the top of the business risk agenda - according to the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2015 - and is a major concern for society as a whole. With business sharing water with communities, industry, farmers and other users, securing the right quality and quantity of water at the right time is set to become a serious production and reputational issue.

Old Fashioned Blueberry Cobbler
|Frozen blueberries
|6 Cup (96 tbs), thawed
|3 Tablespoon
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|Frozen orange juice concentrate
|1 Tablespoon, thawed
|Oat bran
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|Unbleached flour
|2⁄3 Cup (10.67 tbs)
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Baking powder
|1 1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Nonfat buttermilk
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Vanilla ice cream
|1 Quart
1. Coat a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the filling ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and set aside for 15 minutes to allow the juices to develop. Then stir gently to mix well, and transfer to the prepared dish.
2. Combine all of the topping ingredients except for the buttermilk in a medium-sized bowl, and stir to mix well. Add the buttermilk, and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the blueberry mixture to make 8 biscuits.
3. Bake at 375°F for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Remove the cobbler from the oven, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

The post Why Lightroom Workflow Doesn't Matter appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.]]>
That said, there's kind of an unsaid order in which we do things. In fact, the Develop module is laid out in a pretty good order to start with. It almost leads you down the right path from top to bottom. For me, the only time I mess with the order is right in the beginning. I go to the Camera Calibration panel and adjust the Camera Profile settings (if I'm shooting Raw because they don't work for JPEGs). Then I hop back up to the top and start working my way down. Usually it involves White Balance, then Exposure and everything in the Basic panel. Maybe a quick Tone Curve adjustment for some extra contrast, noise reduction and lens correction (if needed), and that's usually it. If I'm going to Photoshop, I save all retouching, vignetting, and sharpening for there. If I'm not going to Photoshop then I'll do the vignetting and sharpening in Lightroom last. But not because it matters that I do them last. It's just because they're closer to the bottom.
So what about you? Do you have a preferred order? Top down? Or something else? Let me know.
The post Why Lightroom Workflow Doesn't Matter appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.]]>
?ĀI found an older video that's still very cool to watch. It's from Tyler Stableford, one of the worlds top adventure photographers (and super nice guy), and how he uses Lightroom.
?ĀFound another review of my Layers book.
?ĀAn interesting post on LightroomForums.net about a workflow for people that like to use multiple folders (with multiple copies of the same image) for a specific event. Just something to think about.
?ĀAnd the tip for today. If you click on a slider in the Develop module you'll see it becomes highlighted more so than the others. At this point, you can use the +/- (plus and minus) arrow keys to change the settings. Sometimes it's kinda cool to just sit back and move the sliders while you're looking at the photo and not concentrating on moving the mouse ever so slightly. By default the keys increase or decrease the slider setting but some "medium" number (not really sure what it is – sometimes it's 10 sometimes 5 depending on the setting). But if you hold the Shift key down, it'll move them by a larger amount. And if you hold the Alt/Option key down it'll move them by a very small amount (good for fine tuning).

First we start off in the morning by importing photos. I'll go over my strategy for storing, organizing and backing up photos. This is always one of the topics that we get a lot of questions on so even if you don't see your specific question address during class, I always leave some time after this class for questions from you.
Next we jump into the Develop module where 80-90% of the work done to my photos is done. And you'll see exactly how to make your photos go from good to great with just a few sliders. We cover everything from getting the color right all the way to sharpening and noise reduction and when to use them.
After lunch we'll look at adding Photoshop to the mix. While 80-90% of the work is done in Lightroom, I use Photoshop for just about every photo and I'll show you how to seamlessly make the jump back and forth in this class. We'll cover retouching, double processing techniques, HDR, panoramas and lots of little tricks to help take your photos up a notch.
Toward the end of the day we have a class dedicated to showing off your work on screen whether it's a slideshow, video or the web.
Finally, we finish off the day with an hour-long class on printing. You'll see everything from getting the right settings so you print comes out the way you expect, to creating some killer print templates with just a few sliders. We'll also cover the custom print template features in Lightroom so you can create anything you want complete with logos and graphics.
The best part about this day is that it's fun too. As you can probably tell from this blog, I'm not the kind of guy that sits up there reading from a workbook all day. I always save time for questions from the audience because I realize that's one of the reasons why you come out to live training. I've taught this tour many times before and the crowd always has a great time and learns a ton throughout the day. I hope you'll come join me on March 9th if you're anywhere near Houston. Thanks!

?ĀSome of you may remember my post when I asked for your thoughts on sharpening in Photoshop and Lightroom. Well, as much as I wanted to get that class done right away, several other things (books, etc…) got in the way. I'm happy to say that I recorded the last part of the class this week and it should be up early next week on KelbyTraining.com. There's a few stories to this one which I'll post about next week. I did incorporate A LOT of your feedback too (again more on it next week). I'm still not sure of the title. I'm thinking something catchy like "Tack Sharp! in Photoshop and Lightroom" or "Mastering Sharpening in Photoshop" or some combination of the two. If you have a vote (or any other ideas) please post a comment Here's a quick screen capture of the lesson outline in case you'd like a sneak peak.
?ĀSpeaking of books getting in the way ;), my Photoshop CS5 Layers book has been out for a few months now. I've started to come across a couple of reviews in case you've been holding off on buying it. Here's one.
?ĀHere's another from Blogcritics.
?ĀAn interesting article on using some text snippet utilities in combination with Lightroom to speed up metadata, copyright and keywording.
?ĀLens Pro To Go is running a special discount through the end of February. You'll get 15% off any lens rental. The code is: FEB15

So what's your thoughts? I fully expect the majority of feedback to differ from mine and I'm totally cool with that. In fact, because some people feel so strongly about soft proofing, I'm glad that there is a plug-in for it and I even hope that Lightroom includes it in the future for you. Personally, though, it's just not for me. How about you?

The post Lightroom Presets – Focal Point for Portraits and Landscapes appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.]]>
Anyway, today I've got a follow up to some presets I released a while ago. Here's the back story so you know where they're coming from. See, I had an idea a while back about using the adjustment brush to create a focal point in certain parts of the photo (by darkening the rest of the photo). The vignetting controls are great for doing this but if your subject isn't in the middle of the photo then it doesn't work as well. So I figured I could use the adjustment brush to darken parts of the photo and save it as a preset. Nope! I quickly found out you couldn't save adjustment brush controls as a preset so I went back to the drawing board and came up with this idea instead. I've created 8 different presets that each use the Graduated Filter to do something similar. 4 of them are for Portraits (or portrait oriented images) and 4 of them are for landscape oriented photos (top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right). Enjoy 'em and let me know what you think!
Portrait (Top Left)
Portrait (Top Right)
Landscape (Bottom Right)

Billy Wagner broke his right arm as a young boy and began throwing left-handed. He strengthened his left arm by throwing a baseball as far as he could in the field behind his house in rural Virginia. When asked if he had a bag full of balls, Wagner said, "No, I only had one ball. I'd throw it as far as I could, then go pick it up, and throw it back in the other direction." Wagner pitched for 15 seasons in the major leagues and saved 422 games.
Vladimir Guerrero went to a tryout camp in the Dominican Republic on the back of a motorcycle, wearing non-matching spikes, one of which was so much bigger than the other that he had to stuff a sock inside it just to make it fit. He was signed that day, paid his motorcycle friend $200, and someday will be enshrined in Cooperstown. Jim Morris was a high school baseball coach who was so impressive throwing batting practice, his players persuaded him to resume his career; he pitched briefly for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at age 35 and was the subject of the movie, "The Rookie." The Diamondbacks signed pitcher Vicente Padilla out of the hills of Nicaragua in the late 1990s. He showed up at the signing on a burro. He agreed to the signing bonus but asked for $2,000 more to properly care for his burro, which he got. "I love my burro," he said.
From crushed trombones to ex-cons to one-armed outfielders to pitchers on a burro, there long have been strange routes to pro ball. "Million Dollar Arm," and one-in-a-million stories.

The Rite

In 2007, the Vatican's chief exorcist revealed an initiative to install an exorcist in every diocese worldwide. Three days later, the Vatican denied the story.
Father Gary Thomas was working as a parish priest in California when church leaders asked him to travel to Rome for training in the rite of exorcism. In Rome, as an apprentice to a veteran Italian exorcist, his eyes were opened to a darker side of the Catholic faith he had never known, and he came to see the battle between good and evil as never before. Journalist Matt Baglio had full access to Father Gary over the course of his training, and the astonishing story he found reveals that the phenomena of possession, demons, the Devil, and exorcism are not merely a remnant of the archaic past, but remain a fearsome power in many people's lives even today. The inspiration for the movie The Rite, starring Anthony Hopkins, this book provides a uniquely intimate glimpse into the chilling world of a real-life Roman Catholic exorcist.

On the morning of August 1, 2013, a baby was born on the platform at the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station. In honor of that baby, named Amir Mason (and not, I'm sorry to tell you, Pierre), here's a look back at some of the best jokes tweeted about that unusual situation. Happy birthday, Amir, and thanks for giving me the excuse to trot out the #metrobaby hashtag one more time.
Original post below.
Well, here's something you don't see every day: Metro Transit Police tweeted Thursday morning that a baby had been born on the platform at the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station. Within minutes, #metrobaby was trending as Washingtonians delivered (hehe) their best jokes about the occasion. See below for some examples—and leave yours in the comments.
Baby will go down in history for being the first person to ever arrive ahead of schedule at a Metro stop.— delrayser (@delrayser) August 1, 2013
Last tweet by @MetroTransitPD before #MetroBaby was about a robbery at Brookland. This is obviously way better news.— Martin Austermuhle (@maustermuhle) August 1, 2013
sounds like that kid was in a RUSH PLUS, amirite?!?!? RT @metrotransitpd: A baby was just delivered ON THE PLATFORM at L'Enfant Plaza.— Aaron Morrissey (@amorrissey) August 1, 2013
@saralang will she have to wait 22 minutes for the next train to take her to the hospital?— Evan Halperin (@Evan_Halperin) August 1, 2013
Stupid baby, probably doesn't even know to stand to the right.— delrayser (@delrayser) August 1, 2013
I shall name the #MetroBaby Pierre: http://t.co/kzcwLFQpen— Martin Austermuhle (@maustermuhle) August 1, 2013
"Excuse me, is that your baby?"— Sarah N. Emerson (@SarahNEmerson) August 1, 2013
When informed of the birth, the L'Enfant Plaza stationmaster shrugged, said there's nothing he can do, went back to reading BBW magazine.— monkeyrotica (@monkeyrotica) August 1, 2013
Metro baby later arrested for eating on platform. Mother cited as accomplice. #MetroBaby— John Fleury (@Buffalo_Theory) August 1, 2013

As an online editor, it would have been much better for traffic if the #MetroBaby's parents had boarded that train yesterday.— Benjamin R. Freed (@brfreed) August 1, 2013
#MetroBaby named as #WMATA CEO. Plans roll out to charge increased fare for baby deliveries. Possible peak delivery time charge considered.— John Fleury (@Buffalo_Theory) August 1, 2013

Judge throws out LA man's murder conviction
A Los Angeles man who spent 34 years behind bars for a decades-old killing has been freed from jail after his conviction was overturned.
Fifty-three-year-old Kash Delano Register walked out of a downtown Los Angeles jail Friday afternoon and told reporters: "It's a beautiful feeling."
The Los Angeles man was sentenced for killing 78-year-old Jack Sasson in 1979 but has always maintained his innocence.
On Thursday, a judge threw out his conviction, saying prosecutors had used false testimony at his trial.

A man sentenced to 27 years to life in prison for a decades-old slaying will be freed after two sisters of a key witness said the account of what the sibling saw was a lie.
Superior Court Judge Katherine Mader threw out the conviction of Kash Delano Register, 53, on Thursday, according to the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/17d32lZ). The Los Angeles man was convicted of killing Jack Sasson, 78, in April 1979, but has always maintained his innocence.
"Thank you Lord Jesus for giving me my child back," said Register's mother, Wilma, as she hugged attorneys from Loyola Law School's Project for the Innocent who represented her son.
Prosecutors said they would decide by next month whether to appeal Mader's decision or retry him.
Register was convicted mainly on eyewitness testimony. None of the seven fingerprints found on Sasson's car matched Register's, and police never recovered the murder weapon.
Prosecutors relied on the testimony of Brenda Anderson, who identified Register as the gunman, even though he had an alibi that he was with his girlfriend at the time of the shooting.
Two of Anderson's sisters said their sibling lied about seeing Register running away from the crime scene.
Sheila Vanderkam said she and Sharon Anderson tried to tell police in 1979 that their sister lied, but one detective placed his finger over his mouth indicating to keep silent.
"He made it very clear to me, without actually saying anything, that I was to stay out of it," Vanderkam said in a court declaration.
Vanderkam also said her sisters had hidden a package of Avon products at the time of the shooting that they had stolen from a neighbor. Sharon Anderson said police threatened to lock her up for the stolen package.
Brenda Anderson has repeatedly changed her account. When asked in court last month whether Register had been the shooter, she replied, "It may or may not have been that person."

As a Portuguese who now lives in Portugal, I recomend adding in some bacon cubes along with Portuguese chouriço sliced but not to thin, let it stew with the fava beans, when all cooked try using...
These are great but to make them even better I add chourico. That's how my mom used to make them.
Reminds me of the favas served at the Portuguese feasts in Rhode Island. Bless you for bringing a little bit of home to my neck of the woods.
