Part two of the AE changes being translated as we speak. Will continue to update this thread till it's fully translated. English translations taken from EventHubs. The first list of changes can be found HERE.
Gouken• The blog states Gouken has received the largest adjustments so far.
• Gouken's Denjin Hadouken (Ultra 2) has received many changes. You can charge up this move faster by rotating the joystick in 360 degree motions now, just like Ryu could in SF3 Third Strike with his Denjin Fireball.
There are three speed-ups and five damage levels, with the charge times as follows:
Level 1 – 13 frames
Level 2 – 17 frames
Level 3 – 37 frames
Level 4 – 57 frames
Level 5 – 80 frames
• His Denjin can be sped up to up to twice its normal speed and powered up now. Also, 45 more damage added to all the "levels" of Denjin Hadouken charges. Charge times are now the same regardless of the amount of your ultra gauge.
• All of Gouken's Running Palms got altered. Hitbox size on Light Running Palm increased. Medium Palm Strike has been changed to be the same as Light Palm Strike in SSF4. Hard Palm Strike has been changed to be the same as Medium Palm Strike was in Super.
• Gouken's counters have a larger counter-box, so it will be easier to intercept attacks. Stun for each counter increased from 150 to 200.
• Active frames on cr.HP increased.
• The character-specific problem with cl.MP, cr.HP xx EX Running Palm not connecting has been fixed.
T. Hawk• During Crouching Hard Kick, T. Hawk's head is invincible, so he can duck under things such as Sagat's High Tiger shots. Also, the blockstun for this attack has been increased by 2 frames to stop people from jumping away from the 2nd hit.
• The body press command normal (down + HP) can now be used during a neutral jump.
• Thrust Peak (Down-Torward + LP) has less frame disadvantage on hit, now it's -2 on hit.
• Medium Tomahawk Buster is now airborne at the beginning, which means the move is throw invincible.
• Condor Spire's input shortcut was improved, but the blog didn't say how.
Dan• Pushback from his close Standing Hard Kick has been shortened, to allow a follow up close attack when it hits properly.
• Close Medium Punch now starts up in 5 frames. This was 6 in Arcade Edition.
• Crouching Hard Kick now starts up in 10 frames. This was 11 in Arcade Edition.
• The combo cl.HK, cl.MP, cr.MP xx EX Dankukyaku is now possible.
• Reduced the height limit on Air EX Dankukyaku (Dan Kicks), they can be done from the 7th airborne frame now. Stun was reduced to a maximum of 250.
• Dragon Punch, FADC, EX Air Dankukyaku can be done now.
• Hard Kick Dankukyaku now deals 130 damage instead of 120.
• Dan's Jumping and Crouching Taunt build meter now. 70 on hit, 30 on block.
• Dan's Super Hissho Buraiken has been altered so that it's harder for characters to have hits whiff against them. However, the blog notes this buff won't work if you activate from too far away.
Gen• Crane stance cr.HP now only receives 1.25 counter hit damage when Gen is hit.
• Increased the active frames of Crane Crouching Hard Kick by 5.
• The final hit of Medium Kick Gekiro builds 10 more meter than before.
• Also the final hit of all Gekiros now perform untechable knockdowns.
• EX Jyasen now has three different versions. Activated with (LP + MP, LP + HP, MP + HP). The distance each travels and the damage each deals varies.
• EX Jyasen is completely projectile invincible from beginning to end.
• All versions of Jyasen now cause 4 more frames of hitstun when the second to last hit connects or is blocked.
• Mantis Ultra 2 (Shitenketsu) has reduced startup from 9 to 7 frames.
Sakura• Fixed the hitbox on the EX Hurricane Kick. cr.LK cr.LP cr.HP xx EX Hurricane will always work now.
• EX Fireball damage increased. Level 1 release now does 120, Level 2 release does 130.
Seth• Tanden Stream damage reduced to 340.
• The damage from Seth's cr.HP into Ultra 1 has been altered in terms of overall damage distribution.
• Angled jumping HP now has four more active frames. Overall frame data in terms of startup and recovery were not changed.
• Neutral jump medium kick now has lower body invincibility after the active frames finish.
• Sometimes when hitting someone with Seth's jumping Hard Kick, recoil would prevent Seth from comboing into Crouching Light or Medium Punch. This has been fixed.
Cammy• Hard Kick Spiral Arrow's hit properties are back to how they were in SSF4 console (Note: In AE when you combo into Hard Kick Spiral Arrow, sometimes Cammy will go under your opponent and switch... which is especially bad when you've successfully pushed him into the corner).
Abel• Crouching Hard Punch returned to Super status where you could use it as an anti-air.
• All Tornado Throws do 10+ more damage. Light: 160, Medium: 180, Hard/EX: 200
• You can FADC the second low hit of Change of Direction now. And that dashing forward afterwards and doing a cr.HP into Ultra works just as fine as if you had FADCed from the first hit. That leaves you at +9 after dashing forward.
Rufus• If you use Ultra 2 as an anti-air, you get a bit more damage than before, 236.
• The follow up Light Kick (Flip) attack after doing an Medium Messiah Kick will combo now. It didn't combo before in Arcade Edition.
El Fuerte• Invincibility returned on Tortilla, like it was in vanilla SF4. It's invincible after startup now.
• Reduced charge time on EX Quesadilla Bomb, it takes 210 frames to charge it now.
• EX Quesadilla Bomb on counter-hit does a wallbounce.
• Fixed the fact that some characters fell out of his RSF (Run Stop Fierce) loop due to recoil.
• Crouching Light Punch can be chain cancelled into other light attacks.
Akuma• Demon Flip Punch attack no longer an overhead (Note: This was one of the few buffs in AE I think), so you can now block low for that.
• Forward throw recovery has had two more frames added after an opponent has been thrown.
• When you cancel a teleport into U2, the damage has been increased to 421.
Fei Long• Recovery frames for the second hit of Rekkas (Light, Medium and Hard) have been changed.
On block:
Light: -8
Medium: -10
Hard: -12
• Second hit Rekkas have less pushback now, so it's easier to punish on block.
• For light and medium Rekka Kens, the second hit does half as much chip damage.
• Flame Kick's damage has been revised.
Light: 120 -> 110 Medium: 140 -> 120 Hard: 160 -> 150 EX: 200 -> 190
• If you FADC a Flame Kick (any version) after the first hit, on block it is now -1.
• Hard Kick Chicken Wing's damage has been revised. It is now 35+35+30 for a total of 100.
• They've modified the hitboxes of all Chicken Wings in a way that they're less likely to cross-up (Translator's note: but still possible). Apparently previously you could perform "half a loop combo" against certain characters by doing close standing MP -> EX Chicken Wing. That won't be possible anymore.
• For both close standing and far standing LP, hitstun has been decreased by 1 frame. On hit it is now +5, so you can't combo into certain moves now.
• Crouching MP's damage has been reduced from 65 to 55.
• Damage for his overhead (Torward + MK) has been increased from 60 to 70.
Rose• Soul Spark meter gain raised by 10, it's 30 now.
• Soul Satellite's (Ultra 2) startup frames reduced from 7 to 5.
• Soul Piede (Toward + Hard Kick) changed to Vanilla properties.
• Close Standing Medium Kick is +4 on hit, making it easier to combo into Crouching Light Punch, as well as making it possible to combo into Crouching Medium Punch. This move was +3 on hit in AE.
• Fixed some bug with Crouching Medium Kick counterhits.

Collected during the 2005-2006 Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay Transgender Collections Survey, a joint project between Museum Victoria, State Library of Victoria and the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives.
World Aids Day was founded in 1988 by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise public awareness about HIV/AIDS issues, including the need for support and understanding for people living with HIV/AIDS and for continued education and prevention initiatives. The World Aids Day organisation describes the red ribbon as 'an international symbol of AIDS awareness. It is worn by people all year round, and particularly around World AIDS Day, to demonstrate their support for people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. It is also a symbol of commitment to challenge the stigma and prejudice surrounding HIV/AIDS.'

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Matthew Chapman, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 14 May 2012 09:40AM
The creative by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO juxtaposes images representing active and inactive choices, such as a pair of slippers versus a pair of ballet shoes and a cookery book shown against a take away.
Television activity is based around the concept that BlackBerry users are people of action and devices running on the BlackBerry 7.1 operating system facilitate action through features including BlackBerry Messenger, which allows the sharing of music.
Cartoon imagery is integrated into the execution that ends with the statement "There are people who don't. And there are people who do" followed by the question "Do you?".
Sarah Probert, senior director of brand marketing and communication at Research In Motion, said: "Our intention is to celebrate the idea of choice.
"We all make choices every day and BlackBerry is there to help the consumer make those decisions and achieve their goals."
The TV spot broke on Saturday during ITV's 'Britain's Got Talent' final and will be followed by a 60-second cinema execution launching at the beginning of June.
BlackBerry owner Research in Motion is launching the consumer-facing global campaign a month after news reports broke that it was refocusing on business customers following comments made by chief executive Thorsten Heins.

Samba specialist SerNet claims specifications from MS
SerNet claimed the protocol specifications from Microsoft in order to enhance the open source software and make it interoperable.
Two weeks ago, the European Supreme Court denied a claim by Microsoft and confirmed a prior judgement by the European Commission. Besides a fine of 497 million euros, the concern was forced to publish the specification of its software to other providers to enable them to customise their products for better support of the Microsoft operating system. Samba service provider SerNet is basing its claim for disclosure of the specification by January 15 2008 on the judgement with the aim of improving Samba interoperability with Windows. The deadline set by SerNet is oriented on the 120 days which Microsoft was granted for compliance by the court.
Samba is free software that makes the Server Message Block protocol available to Linux and Unix systems giving them the ability to emulate the functionality of a Windows server. Right now, the Samba team is working on software that will improve the interoperability of Samba servers with Windows servers and Active Directory. A subproject dubbed "samba4AD" is aiming to develop an Active Directory Server on Samba for which the MS protocol specifications are be required.
SerNet is one of the major players in the international Samba project and thus assumed the role of spokesperson: "In this coherence it is important to be able to develop the Samba under GPL Version 3." says Loxen. He does not consider the licensing offered by Microsoft (MCPP and WSPP) to be practicable for the Open Source project. Besides that it would not be compatible with the GPL v3, according to Loxen.
Microsoft has publically distanced itself from GPL v3 and declared the policies and procedures to be invalid as a precaution. In contrast to this, the Samba team moved to the new GPL license shortly after its introduction and, at the same time, condemned the patent agreements between Microsoft and several Linux distributors. Due to this, the SerNet CEO does not expect a solution in near future: "If Microsoft offers a license contract that is incompatible with the GPL v3, the specifications would not help us at all." said Loxen in an interview with Linux Magazine online.

Aussie Dollar Drops as Battellino Says Weaker Currency May Help
Dec. 14 (Bloomberg) -- The Australian dollar dropped as Reserve Bank of Australia Deputy Governor Ric Battellino said a likely fall in the currency will help insulate the nation from an economic slump in Europe, where a "disruptive event" can't be ruled out.
The so-called Aussie slid 0.3 percent to 99.88 U.S. cents at 12:40 p.m. in Sydney from yesterday in New York.

(En español: Tomografía computada)
Say: c t skan or kat skan
Actually, CT scans have nothing to do with cats, except that when people talk about them, they usually say "CAT scan" instead of "CT scan." CT stands for computed tomography, so you can see why people prefer to say "CT." CT scans are a kind of X-ray that gives doctors a much better picture of what's going on inside the body. Regular X-rays show your bones and some other parts of the body, but CT scans show much more detail. Like X-rays, CT scans don't hurt. When someone is sick or injured, doctors use them to help figure out what might be wrong.

With the national divorce rate dropping, but still at 49 percent, there's a small but adamant market for jewelry that lets everyone know just how bitter you are (picture wedding bands that don't entirely encircle one's finger). But few pieces are as graphically heartbroken as this one-of-a-kind 1970s antique — marketed as a "divorce ring" by jeweler Spritzer & Furman — that's being sold by a New York City shop for a cool $3,200.
If Disney is looking for a sequel to Homeward Bound, this is it: An 8-year-old Shar Pei mix named Georgia trekked through 35 miles of California canyons and suburbs to return home through the backyard doggy door after having been missing for nine days, The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Georgia got lost while chasing a rabbit in Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve in late June. Due to a high number of coyotes in the region, rangers told her owner, Kris Anderson, that the 30-pound dog likely wouldn't survive even a night.
However, at 8:30 a.m. over a week after she went missing, Georgia unexpectedly ran into Anderson's room and jumped on the bed. The dog was emaciated, covered in scratches, and in need of a good bath — but she somehow walked at least 35 miles home from the park, braving a storm, Fourth of July fireworks, traffic, and maybe even a coyote or two.

How animals find their way home after getting lost is a bit of a scientific mystery: In 1920, Bobbie the dog walked from Oregon to Indiana to get home, and in 2013, a Florida cat walked 200 miles home, from West Palm Beach from Daytona. Some scientists have found evidence that mammals can construct mental maps — like the way a rat finds its way out of a maze.
We may never know how Georgia did it — it's just all the more reason to wish animals could talk. Jeva Lange
New Greek Finance Minster Euclid Tsakalotos reportedly showed up to an emergency summit in Brussels to determine Greece's economic fate without any written proposals in hand. While Tsakalotos was urged to offer his reform proposals in written form, three eurozone sources speaking on the condition of anonymity said that he only offered Greece's creditors an oral update on the country's financial situation, The Associated Press reports. Details of what updates Tsakalotos gave in his oral presentation were not available.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will soon arrive at the summit in hopes of working out a bailout deal. On Sunday, Greece soundly rejected austerity measures proposed by European creditors in a bailout plan. Becca Stanek
For the first time since Bruce Jenner transitioned to become Caitlyn Jenner, a major piece of the decathlete's Olympic memorabilia is going to auction. Heritage Auctions estimates that the 1984 Summer Olympic Torch that Jenner carried through Lake Tahoe, Nevada, will sell for at least $20,000. Auction director Chris Ivy described the 24-inch torch as a "wonderful symbol that masculinity and femininity are not mutually exclusive."
After becoming a national hero upon winning the 1976 Olympic Decathlon Gold Medal, Jenner attracted the spotlight again in June when she came out as a transgender woman and revealed herself as Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair. Jenner will accept the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPY Awards on next week for her courage in coming out as a transgender woman. Becca Stanek
A report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York suggests that federal student aid programs are doing more harm than good. When subsidized federal loans have the effect of "relaxing students' funding constraints," universities respond by raising tuition to collect the newly available cash.
The resultant tuition hikes can be substantial: The researchers found that each additional dollar of Pell Grant or subsidized student loan money translates to a tuition jump of 55 or 65 cents, respectively. Of course, the higher tuition also applies to students who don't receive federal aid, making college less affordable across the board.
The report also found that subsidized federal loans do not appear to increase enrollment. "[W]hile one would expect a student aid expansion to benefit recipients," the study authors wrote, "the subsidized loan expansion could have been to their detriment, on net, because of the sizable and offsetting tuition effect."

With highs well into the 80s these days, Boston's record-breaking, snowy winter seems like a distant memory. That is, unless you visit the city's last pile of snow: a 12-foot, trash-choked mound of solid ice whose slow, steady melting is a lasting reminder of the grueling winter, The New York Times reports.
The last of Boston's so-called "snow farms," the pile was created in an empty lot so plows would have somewhere to dump some of the 110 inches of snow that blanketed the city. Once 75 feet high and covering a full four acres, new snowfall could make it look "beautiful… like the White Mountains," said Michael Dennehy, the commissioner of public works. These days, the slowly shrinking snow pile is mostly notable for its trash — the tons of urban detritus also swept up by the snow plows. City workers have pulled out everything from candy wrappers to newspaper boxes and manhole covers. And as the mound gets smaller, more and more trash is revealed. As the Times notes, city workers cleared 12 tons of trash from the pile in May. In June, 56 tons.
Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh has asked people via Twitter to guess when the snow pile will finally be gone. The winner gets a "meet and greet" with Mayor Walsh.
Have you sent in your guess? #BosMeltNow pic.twitter.com/kTeCJkzFnB
— Mayor Marty Walsh (@marty_walsh) July 6, 2015
For many, though, they'll just be happy to see the snow go. One woman summed up what surely must be the feelings of many Bostonians in regards to the snow: "It's almost gone — thank God." Marshall Bright
It's conventional wisdom that if a police officer pulls you over late at night, you can proceed slowly to a well-lit, public area to make sure the stop is safe and legitimate. But when DaJuawn Wallace, a graduate student at Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan, attempted to put this rule into practice, he found himself arrested and slapped with a felony charge for "fleeing and eluding" police.
The stop took place at 2 a.m., while Wallace was out purchasing medicine for his girlfriend. When he saw police lights behind him, he slowly drove to a nearby Sam's Club, waving for the officer to follow him. "I live in Detroit, and I know some people who were robbed by fake police officers," Wallace explained. "I was not speeding up, turning off my lights or trying to get away." He was only pulled over because the cop thought his car resembled one he'd seen driving on a sidewalk earlier that day.
Wallace has been offered a plea deal to reduce his charge to a felony, but taking it would cause him to lose his job and any financial aid opportunities for his master's program. He is pushing for a complete dismissal of charges because, he says, "I feel like I didn't do anything wrong." Bonnie Kristian
Members of the Taliban leadership held talks with at least one senior Afghan official in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, The New York Times reports. The Afghan government has expressed hopes that the meeting will lead to negotiations aimed at bringing an end to the Afghanistan War.
Taliban leaders dismissed similar meetings earlier this year in Qatar, Norway, and China as being unofficial talks between individuals and the Afghan government. While it remains to be seen how the Taliban will respond to news of the talks today, Pakistan's role as a go-between is significant, since it is the home of the Taliban leadership in exile and a haven for extremist militants who have long staged raids across the porous Afghan-Pakistani border.
There is also speculation that the threat of ISIS, which has made inroads with the Taliban's base of support, has made the Taliban especially eager to seek peace with the Afghan government, The New York Times reports. Jeva Lange

CLINTON – Clinton hopes its population will increase once the Thomson Correctional Center opens.
It also claims that the sale will be a big economic boost to the town. The city believes many people who end up working at the facility may actually live in Clinton.
"It's a win-win I think for anybody that lives within a 30 mile radius of the town of Thomson," Thomson home builder Otto Bruhn said.
Bruhn like others, is building a home off Mill Creek Parkway in Clinton. Developers could hit the area even more because of the $200 million yearly impact that's supposed to come to Thomson and the surrounding area.
"It's like you're living out in the country. It's a beautiful view," Bruhn said of Mill Creek Parkway. "We've talked to a lot of people out here, and they're very happy with it."
Clinton is the largest city within 20 minutes from Thomson. It sits just south of Thomson off of Highway 84. Many claim that's the perfect distance away from the prison to raise a family.
"When the prison was built, officials told us that if you take a job at the prison, you want it to be 30/30," Bruhn said. "You want to be either 30 minutes or 30 miles from Thomson. Clinton is right in that circle."
The Clinton Regional Development Corporation is certainly excited about the jobs coming to Thomson. They also claim the jobs will help Fulton and Camanche on both sides of the river.
"It's going to play into a demand for housing and infrastructure," Clinton Regional Development Corporation President Steven Ames said. "Certainly as folks spend money for housing, that's going to reverberate through the economy in a very positive way."
People have already built many homes along Mill Creek Parkway, but there is still room for a lot more. Ruhl and Ruhl Realtor Dan Dolan already owns many homes in the area.
"There's not only single home dwellings," Clinton resident Lenny Weih said. "There are also apartments, condos, and the Dan Dolan properties. I'm sure all of those will be impacted in a positive way."
Ames hopes the Thomson Correctional Center will spur support for crews to build a four lane highway for Highway 30. That goes from Clinton all the way to Sterling and beyond on the Illinois side. There is still no official word from the Federal Bureau of Prisons on when the facility may open.

The Tottenham Hotspur is another Premier League club participating in the UEFA Europa League Quarter-finals. They will face F.C. Basel 1893 during the first and second leg in April 2013.
The first leg will be celebrated on April 4 at White Hart Lane in London. The second leg will be at St. Jakob Park in Basel on April 13.
Muray Yakin FC Basel 1893 coach states that his club looks forward to a match with the Spurs. It is the first time the Swiss and Spurs face each other.
A review of both teams is necessary to arrive at the predictions.
Tottenham Hotspur
The Spurs are ranked 25 in the UEFA Coefficient and emerged in second place from Group J. They won the UEFA Europa League trophy two times in the past.
Andre Villas-Boas will certainly use this match to prove wrong his critics at Stamford Bridge. The Spurs have four wins, one loss, and five draws in the current UEFA Europa League.
The Spurs players to watch in the quarter-finals are Gareth Bale, Jermain Defoe, and Emmanuel Adebayor. Hugo Lloris as a goalkeeper may present an element of surprise in this tournament.
Clint Dempsey is expected to make his mark as a midfielder in this tournament. But he may or may not finish the match.
FC Basel 1893
FC Basel 1893 is a serious contender for the UEFA Europa League. They were eliminated from the current UEFA Champions League season.
FC Basel 1893 is ranked 36 in the UEFA Coefficient. They emerged from Group G in second place with nine points behind Genk.
The Swiss club has four wins, four draws, and two losses in the current Europa League season. Marco Streller and Alexander Frei are forwards expected to bring electricity to the team during the match.
Valentin Stocker is a midfielder who can be challenging for the Spurs. While the Swiss have a history of participation in UEFA tournaments, they have not won trophies.
It is not going to be an easy match for the two contenders. Both want to impress in the Europa League quarter-finals by tightening all areas of play.
It would not be surprising if the matches are decided at the last minute. Again, nothing in sports [like life] is absolute.

What do you have to lose?
I am a positive, upbeat, outgoing, good natured guy, who is playful and silly at times, yet responsible and mature. I'm in Technology Sales so tend to be high energy, however, enjoy down time at my place or relaxing by the pool. I value family a great deal and have developed and maintained many solid friendships over the years. I'm very close to my dad and brother and love messing around with my ten year old niece and nephew. One of my favorite things to do is having dinner and drinks out with friends, especially trying new restaurants/cuisines in South Jersey, trendy Philly, and the suburbs. Love a good craft amber beer! I make it a weekly occurrence of having breakfast with my brother and dad. I guess you can say it's this bachelor's favorite past time :). I am a sports enthusiast, HUGE Flyers fan, love participating in Fantasy sports leagues ( more about that later :), however, not obsessed as there would always be time for someone in my life. I enjoy traveling, movies, the beach/pool, coffee houses, bike riding and walks. I try my best to keep in shape and eat healthy but who doesn't like pizza and burgers. I prefer the simpler things that life has to offer but VERY open-minded to new adventures and activities. I would like to meet a cute, sweet, affectionate, playful, upbeat, energetic girl. I'd settle for the "girl next door" type ( Who wouldn't!), not fixated on any particular type of person. Someone who enjoys going out for dinner and a movie on Saturday night, walks or bike riding, heading to the shore, spending time with both families and friends, or taking a vacation together. If you think we could be a potential match, then feel free to drop me an email and we'll see what develops. We can meet for drinks or coffee at Starbucks.

Stoke City transfer gossip: Liverpool winger Oussama Assaidi greedy over wages
Posted: July 26, 2014|
OUSSAMA Assaidi is reportedly asking for wages of £45,000-per-week to leave Liverpool and sign for Stoke.
And that is bound to be a sticking point because Stoke would be offering nearer £30,000.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes has been trying to finalise Assaidi's return all summer following his successful loan spell at the Britannia last season.
But agreeing a price with Liverpool, being satisfied with Assaidi's recovery from last season's knee injury and now his personal demands have all stalled his signing.

And Stoke have already signalled their intent to consider alternatives to Assaidi by tabling at least one bid for Norwich winger Nathan Redmond.
Securing the services of at least one recognised winger remains Stoke's top priority before the end of the summer transfer window.
A more realistic pay demand from Assaidi and his people will be key to him being that winger.

Once again the shoe gods were pleased with me. I've been looking for gray closed toe non-patent, non-suede heels for quite some time. Instagram and a fellow blogger put these Sole Society beauties on my radar.
After putting them on my feet for the first time, I felt transported back to my former work self. The one who liked to dress the part of an executive with an edge. As I donned this outfit, I couldn't help but think that it is exactly what I would've worn to work. Immediately after that realization, it hit me that I'm no longer that person. I wasn't sad but it did feel so final.
This blog was originally started to help me improve my work wardrobe and now I think I'll go on a new quest to define my non-office, non-executive but still stylish, casual, sassy look. Wish me luck!

Pioneer Press arts and entertainment writers round up their favorite events for the weekend.
Friday, Sept. 5
Theater: The Underpants
Opens Friday: TRP opens its 63rd season with Steve Martin's adaptation of a story by the expressionist German writer Carl Sternheim. That sounds pretty fancy, but ... really ... it's just a farce about a respectable couple in 1910 watching a parade. Louise's undergarment accidentally falls down to her ankles. She pulls her bloomers right back up, but the wardrobe malfunction starts tongues wagging, and the scandal of it all threatens her husband's career. Through Sep. 28; Theatre in the Round Players, 245 Cedar Ave., Mpls.; $22; 612-333-3010 or theatreintheround.org
-- Dominic P. Papatola
Musical comedy: Garfunkel and Oates
Friday: Whether they're singing clever songs inspired by their dating lives or a cute tune about marriage equality, videos from the talented and charming musical comedy duo of Garfunkel and Oates have racked up tens of millions of views on YouTube. Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome took their stage name from one-half of two famous musical duos -- Art Garfunkel (Simon and Garfunkel) and John Oates (Hall and Oates) -- but their raunchy humor is one of a kind. Now the stars of their own IFC comedy show named after them and directed by "The Wonder Years" star Fred Savage, Micucci and Lindhome have a whole new platform to display their sweet melodies and witty words.
-- Amy Carlson Gustafson
Classical: Minnesota Orchestra
Friday: They call her "the Voice." Soprano Renee Fleming has become one of the world's premier opera stars not only because of her magnificent range, control and interpretive flair, but also because she's a fine actor and a down-to-earth, amiable "diva." When she sang the national anthem at this year's Super Bowl, a whole new audience discovered what classical fans have long known. For this relatively high-buck benefit gala, she'll join conductor Osmo Vanska and the orchestra for a song cycle by Anders Hillborg and arias and songs by Giacomo Puccini, Riccardo Zandonai and Leonard Bernstein. Be warned that the program's only an intermission-less 75 minutes, but champagne and dessert are included. 8 p.m.; Orchestra Hall, 1111 Nicollet Mall, Mpls.; $250-$75; 612-371-5656 or minnesotaorchestra.org.
-- Rob Hubbard
Folk: Rosanne Cash
Friday: One of America's most consistently eloquent singer-songwriters, Rosanne Cash has evolved into something like the quintessential bard for middle-aged Americans as she's poetically described the onslaughts of conflicting emotion that come from divorce, remarriage, parenthood, navigating significant changes and losing your parents. Her 2006 album "Black Cadillac" was a brilliant look at the loss of parents and she's gone on to re-examine her relationship with her father, Johnny Cash, by recording some of "The List" of 100 essential American songs that he left her. With her picaresque latest, "The River & the Thread," she places him -- and herself -- in the broader cultural context of the American South. 8 p.m.; the O'Shaughnessy, St. Catherine University, 2004 Randolph Ave., St. Paul; $60-$40; 651-690-6700 or oshag.stkate.edu.
-- Rob Hubbard
World music and dance: Pandit Birju Maharaj
Friday: He's among the legends of the traditional Indian dance style known as Kathak, but Pandit Birju Maharaj's distinctive way of telling stories through movement and facial expressions also comes through when he engages in the bhav batana singing style. He's collaborated with some of the world's greatest musicians in Indian traditional music, and what he does is both accessible and revelatory, sharing commonalities with many other folk traditions and sometimes a bit of jazz, as well. He'll be joined by Chandrachur Bhattacharjee on sitar and Utpal Gnoshal on tablas. 7 p.m.; Dr. V. Premanand Theater and Concert Hall, Normandale Community College, 9700 France Ave. S., Bloomington; $25-$18; 763-533-0756 or kathadance.org.
-- Rob Hubbard
New age: Yanni
Friday: New-age superstar -- and University of Minnesota psychology graduate -- Yanni returns to Minnesota to headline a casino gig. He's out in support of his latest album, "Inspirato," a collection of reworked songs from his back catalog with added vocals from opera stars like Placido Domingo and Renee Fleming. He recently told a reporter the songs are "what I feel are perhaps the best melodies I have composed over my entire career ... based on the loves of my life." 8 p.m.; Mystic Lake Casino, 2400 Mystic Lake Blvd., Prior Lake; $59-$49; 952-496-6563 or mysticlake.com.
-- Ross Raihala
Rock: Owen Pallett
Friday: Toronto composer/violinist/vocalist Owen Pallett is probably best known for his collaborative work, although, somewhat shockingly, he isn't a member of Toronto's indie-rock supergroup Broken Social Scene. He did, however, pick up a good chunk of Stateside listeners as a touring member/string arranger for the Arcade Fire. (His ever-growing resume of arranging work includes collaborations with everyone from Grizzly Bear to the Pet Shop Boys.) But Pallett also makes his own music, too, and he's back on the road in support of his latest album, "In Conflict." 8 p.m.; Cedar Cultural Center, 416 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls.; $15; 612-338-2674 or thecedar.org.
-- Ross Raihala
Saturday, Sept. 6
Rock: Dennis DeYoung
Saturday: Chicago native Dennis DeYoung started singing at age 14 with neighbors Chuck and John Panozzo, laying the groundwork for what would become the band Styx. During the '70s, DeYoung wrote and sang the majority of Styx's material, including the hits "Babe," "Lady," "The Best of Times," "Don't Let it End," "Come Sail Away" and "Mr. Roboto." Styx split in up in 1984 and reunited twice before DeYoung left for good (and the rest of the band moved on without him). These days, the 67-year-old tours under the billing "Dennis DeYoung: The Music of Styx" with his wife, Suzanne, on backing vocals. 8 p.m.; Pantages Theatre, 710 Hennepin Ave., Mpls.; $63.50-$53.50; 800-982-2787 or hennepintheatretrust.org.

Nickelback's Chad Kroeger discovered the band and signed them to his 604 Records label. After several years of modest success, Theory of a Deadman's 2008 album, "Scars and Souvenirs," took off in the States, giving them their first rock radio chart topper with "Bad Girlfriend."

Funk: fDeluxe
Sunday: fDeluxe is a reunited version of the Family, the Prince-produced band that recorded one album for Warner Brothers and scored a Top 20 single. The funk band broke up soon after but decided to re-form in 2011, releasing a new disc called "Gaslight," featuring four of the five original members.

-- Maja Beckstrom
Blues: Buddy Guy
Sunday: This 78-year-old blues legend remains almost as fiery and flamboyant a performer as he was when he made his name on the 1950s Chicago scene. Overdue widespread recognition finally arrived in the early '90s, when he was being regularly name-checked as one of the world's greatest guitarists by folks like Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Beck. Who would have thought that, in 2014, he'd still be regularly releasing albums of solid, stirring blues and remain a ferocious monster of a player, given to breathtakingly explosive solos? Joining him are Robert Randolph & the Family Band, who have taken the southern "sacred steel" tradition and rocked it up considerably. 7 p.m.; State Theatre, 805 Hennepin Ave. S., Mpls.; $58.50-$48.50; 800-982-2787 or hennepintheatretrust.org.

Life moves fast, and you can't just press "pause" to get the exact photo you want. Nor is it easy to find a lot of time to fix images after the fact. In this workshop author and expert Tim Grey shows you how to use Adobe Photoshop Elements to make a big impact on your digital photographs in a short time. After getting a quick overview of the Elements interface, learn how to fix problems with lighting, color, noise, and red eye. If you like, you can then move on to explore more advanced techniques like removing unwanted objects from an image, replacing the background, reducing depth of field, and more. This course teaches all the skills you need to create images with staying power.
When we talk about the overall tonality of an image, the range of light and dark values within a photo. The most common attributes we refer to are brightness and contrast. Brightness, obviously relates to how light or dark the overall image is. And contrast relates to how much contrast there is, whether there is a wide range of tonal values, or a relatively narrow range. In other words, an image that has a fair amount of pop to it, versus one that's a little bit flat. Since these are the attributes, we tend to think about most when dealing with the overall brightness values in an image.
It makes sense that these would be the types of adjustments we might want to apply to an image. Let's take a look at the brightness, contrast adjustment. Here, I'm working on an image of a wood pile. I was fascinated by the light and shadows, and the textures throughout. As well as the different colors, and I'd like to enhance the overall lighting in the image. So, I'm going to go ahead and choose Enhance followed by Adjust Lighting and then Brightness Contrast. This will bring up the Brightness Contrast dialog where we have two sliders, Brightness and Contrast. Very simple.
The Brightness slider allows us to lighten or darken the overall image. Moving the slider to the right will brighten the image and moving the slider to the left will darken the image. Generally speaking, I prefer to start with contrast however. So, I'll go ahead and set my Brightness value back to 0, and then take a look at Contrast. Moving the slider to the right, we increase the overall contrast in the image, and moving the slider to the left will decrease the contrast. Reducing contrast can actually help pull out shadow detail in an image, but it can also leave the image looking a little bit flat.
So, you'll want to be careful if you're reducing contrast. When increasing Contrast, you want to make sure that you're not producing an effect that looks a little bit too strong. Where shadows are too deep and highlights are too bright. So generally, a relatively modest increase in contrast will serve you best. But evaluate the effect in the image, making sure that you're happy with that result. Once I've adjusted contrast, I'll then focus my attention on the overall brightness in the image. Part of the reason I save brightness for after contrast is that contrast can have a relatively strong effect on shadows.
And that can influence the final Brightness level that I want to apply. So, I'll adjust that overall Brightness slider. In this case, I think I'd like to move things a little bit over to the right brightening things up just a little bit. This helps to see more of the texture and creates a little bit stronger impact in the image I think. Of course, I can always revisit Contrast. For example, if at this point, I feel that with this level of brightness, the contrast is a little bit too much. I can then reduce the overall contrast just a little bit.
That's looking much better. But one thing that I really recommend doing when applying adjustments to an image is to preview the Before and After. When working on the brightness contrast adjustment, you'll notice that we have a Preview check box. I can turn that check box off to see the before version and turn it back on to see the after. For this image, you'll notice that the adjustments that I've applied do not create a dramatic change in appearance. And very often, a relatively modest adjustment is all you need. We don't need every image to look especially dramatic. We can sometimes find the best results with relatively minor adjustments. Once I've found the settings for brightness and contrast that I'm happy with, I'll simply click OK to apply the change to the image.
