Rabid Silver Fire Shows Signs Of Slowing
By News Editor And Partners
A turbulent wildfire in southern New Mexico's Gila National Forest has ballooned to 143 square miles. But officials say it's finally showing signs of slowing down.
Authorities said the blaze's growth tapered off in some areas Wednesday evening as the Silver Fire remained 20 percent contained.
Crews were scheduled Thursday to work on structural fire protection on the west side of the blaze in the Cooney area.
Meanwhile, a nearly 15-square-mile wildfire in the Pecos Wilderness north of Santa Fe continued to expand as officials say they now are worried about nearby campgrounds and houses since the inferno is moving out of remote areas.
The Jaroso Fire remained 0 percent contained.

Record Breaker
Just two weeks after setting a new personal four-set single-match record with 46 assists against Fordham, Aug. 28, junior Kayla Lawler (Louisville, Ky.) compiled a new personal three-set single-match record with 43 assists against Hartford, Sept. 11. Her previous record four-set record was 41, set twice in her freshman year of 2008. Meanwhile, Lawler's prior three-set record was 40, set last Sept. 20 against St. Francis (N.Y.). Her five-set record is 53, set last Oct. 9 at St. Francis (N.Y.).
To Biediger Back
Sophomore Stephanie Biediger (Houston, Texas) made her return to the court after missing more than a year due to injury on Sept. 10. In her first tournament back, the outside hitter led the Bobcats with 25 kills in three matches and added 34 digs, earning Quinnipiac Invitational All-Tournament Team honors. Joining Biediger on the all-tournament team was Lawler, who piled up 110 assists in three matches.
Grattan Grabbing Attention
In three matches during the Quinnipiac Invitational, freshman Olivia Grattan (Pittsburgh, Pa.) had team highs in both kills (25) and blocks (10).

A pair of newcomers to the Bobcats made impressive debuts at the Beanpot Classic. Graduate student transfer Amanda Armstrong (Waukesha, Wis.) was named to the All-Tournament Team after totaling 30 kills on the weekend, including 15 against Fordham. Freshman Tracey Wright (Fair Lawn, N.J.) had 44 digs on the weekend, including 17 to conclude the weekend against Boston College.
Sophomore Surge

Returning Cast
Quinnipiac returns much of last season's core of student-athletes, as well as its 2008 Team MVP. Junior setter Kayla Lawler, who almost solely ran the Bobcats' attack, returns as team captain after dishing out 785 assists in 2009. The team's leading hitter, Kelby Carey (Surfside, Calif.), also returns for her junior season, a year after piling up 317 kills.

W.Va. industrialist Buck Harless dies at 94
HUNTINGTON — A businessman, philanthropist and driving force for many educational and community-based programs in rural West Virginia has died.
James "Buck" Harless was surrounded by his wife, Hallie, and members of his family when he died Wednesday at his home in Gilbert, W.Va., after a brief illness. He was 94 years old.
The breadth of Harless' impact was evidenced Thursday afternoon as politicians, educators and community leaders from throughout West Virginia shared their sentiments about Harless, who was born in Taplin, W.Va., in Logan County on Oct. 14, 1919, to Bessie Brown Harless and her husband, Pearly J. Soon.
Bessie died from pneumonia soon after his birth, and he was raised by his mother's sister, Rosa and her husband, George Erastis "Ras" Ellis, of Gilbert, in Mingo County.
Harless' Mingo County roots were a driving force behind his philanthropic efforts, which at Marshall University included the establishment of the Buck Harless Student-Athlete Program in 1981 and the June Harless Center for Rural Educational Research and Development in 2000, said Stan Maynard, director of the center for rural education and also was the first director of the student-athlete program.
"I believe he understood that the economic gap that we see in West Virginia could best be narrowed by education," Maynard said. "Buck Harless was a 'bridge builder.' He built bridges for individuals, so they could journey from where they are to where they could be. The bridge he chose to build was a bridge of education, compassion and belief in the spirit of our West Virginia heritage."
Harless' most recent contribution to Marshall included support for an indoor athletic facility on campus, which will feature an academic center that will be called the Buck Harless Student-Athlete Academic Center, Marshall Athletic Director Mike Hamrick said Thursday.
"There are a lot of sad faces around here," Hamrick said. "He had a vision. He wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people, and he sure made a difference in a lot of lives. He was a very, very special person — as good as they came."
The Harless name also is recognizable to the thousands of Marshall students who take their meals from the 19,000-square-foot Harless Dining Hall, which opened in January 2004.
Harless was past chairman of the Marshall University Board of Advisors and a former member of the Marshall University Foundation Board.
The Harless Auditorium at the Marshall University Medical Center is named after Buck's son, Larry Joe Harless, who died in 1995.
Harless also received an honorary doctorate from Marshall, was named to the Marshall University Business Hall of Fame, and received the John Marshall Medal of Civic Responsibility.
Harless also was one of the first contributors to the Society of Yeager Scholars at the university.
Marshall President Stephen Kopp described Harless as "the rarest of the exceptional human beings who have graced our world," who "understood the virtue of hard work and lived it every day."
"Buck was revered by the Marshall University community, and we thank him for all he has done for the people of West Virginia and Marshall University," Kopp said. "The greatest honor he could have bestowed on us was the 'Harless' name. It is a proud and lasting legacy that affirms the profound influence that he had on this university, our people and our beloved state."
Harless graduated from the Gilbert public school system in 1937, but he was unable to afford a college education during the Great Depression.
He eloped with his high school sweetheart, June Montgomery, in 1939, and Marshall's center for rural education is named for her. She died in April 1999 at the age of 78.
The Harlesses had two children, Larry Joe and Judy.
After Larry Joe's death, Buck and June contributed the construction cost of the Larry Joe Harless Community Center in Gilbert, which, among many services, houses a swimming pool, movie theater, a regional learning center and electronic branch of Marshall's Drinko Library. The center was dedicated in 1999, after June's death.
Harless also contributed support to the consolidation of high schools in Mingo County to form Mingo Central High School, which is home to the James "Buck" Harless Stadium.
Harless was remembered for more than just his financial contributions in Mingo County, said Robert Bobbera, assistant superintendent of Mingo County Schools.
"It's hard to put into words the type of contributions he's made," Bobbera said. " Funds are nice, but this is beyond that. He grew up in the area. He knew what it was like to live in rural southern West Virginia and the struggles that students and individuals in area can face. He inspired students. He served as a role model to students."
Harless started his career as a miner at Red Jacket Coal Co. after graduating from high school. He gave up mining to become part-owner and manager of Gilbert Lumber Company. He later grew the company into the multi-million-dollar International Industries that includes holdings in mining, timber and manufacturing in multiple countries.
Harless also was a prominent supporter of West Virginia University, where he served on the Board of Governors, the University System of West Virginia Board of Trustees and WVU Board of Advisors, and as a trustee of the WVU Alumni Association's Loyalty Permanent Endowment Fund.
Harless was inducted into the West Virginia Coal Hall of Fame in 1998 and the West Virginia Business Hall of Fame in 2001.
Harless, who served as mayor of Gilbert for two terms in the 1960s, didn't shy away from the state's political arena.
He served as one of West Virginia's five electors in the Electoral College in 2000. The Wall Street Journal credited Harless' efforts in former President George W. Bush's victory in the state while serving as the state finance chairman for Bush's West Virginia Leadership Campaign. In 2004, Harless said he raised more than $200,000 for Bush's re-election.
In 1999, before now-Sen. Joe Manchin announced his successful bid for Secretary of State, Harless said to The Herald-Dispatch that, "I told him he wasn't going to win" the governor's office if he had chosen to run for governor that year. Harless later supported Manchin during his successful gubernatorial campaign in 2004.
Manchin extended his condolences to Harless' family Thursday.
"Buck Harless was a dear friend not only to me, but to all of West Virginia," Manchin said. "I will always remember and admire Buck's passion to make West Virginia a better place to work and to live, and his contributions to our state, particularly to our coal industry, state education programs and Boy Scouts of America, will never be forgotten. Buck was, and will continue to be an inspiration to me and so many others in this state, and he will be deeply missed."
A public viewing will take place from 3 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 4, at the Larry Joe Harless Community Center in Gilbert. The funeral service will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 5, at the Gilbert Presbyterian Church. There will be a celebration of Buck Harless' life at 2 p.m. Sunday at the community center. Evans Funeral Home in Chapmanville is in charge of arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Larry Joe Harless Community Center, 202 Larry Joe Harless Drive, Gilbert, WV 25621.

A 52 minute high quality DVD summary of the detailed information contained in the 'Time is the Ally of Deceit Study Series' that consists of a 259 page book and five 1 Hr.+ DVDs. This powerful and concise DVD can be used to share the truth with others in a reasonable amount of time and is also the basis for our Faith of the Saints Evangelism Program It conveys the story of how pagan sun worship has infiltrated contemporary Christianity and continues to do so today. While providing some details, there is no way to provide thorough documentation of the historical events, in such a short period of time. For those who are interested in the details we recommend the Time is the Ally of Deceit Study Series which contains extensive documentation.
Join Richard Rives, author of the book Too Long in the Sun, for an overview of historical events that led to the abandonment of Biblical precepts and their replacement by Traditional Christianity.
Today Contemporary Christianity has not only allowed truth to fall, but it has thrown truth in the street as a gesture of religious tolerance and compromise. It has given the adversaries of scripture exactly what they need to substantiate their claims that what most present as Christianity is nothing more than redefined pagan mythology. Educated theologians know that; yet they continue to present a compromised gospel filled with pagan tradition that never had anything to do with Christ. There has never been a more important time in the history of mankind for those called out as servants of our Creator to confront the philosophy and vain deceit that would lead people away from our Savior. To order, call 877-992-8865
In the book of Mark we read of an instance when certain Pharisees and scribes confronted Jesus about the fact that some of his disciples were eating bread without first washing their hands – a specific ritual of hand washing being a tradition of the elders.
Jesus called them hypocrites, stating that while they honored Him with their lips, theIr hearts were far from Him. He said that it was in vain that they worshiped Him teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Jesus said that they rejected the commandment of God in order that they might keep their own traditions.
What had happened is that the scribes and Pharisees had added their own rules and regulations to the laws of our Creator – man made traditions – some of which, if accepted, made the commandments of God impossible to keep.
We know from other scripture passages that Jesus openly violated some of those traditions such as healing a man on the sabbath – demonstrating that it is not wrong to do good on the sabbath day.
Today there are those who would lead us to believe that the fact that Jesus healed on the sabbath proves that we no longer have to concern ourselves with the fourth commandment – that Jesus himself broke that commandment.
But no – Jesus was falsely accused of breaking that commandment, when in fact all that He did was disregard the commandments of men that made it impossible to keep. He never broke any of the commandments, for if He had done so, He would not qualify as a sinless sacrifice.
In our day and age, just as in times past, religious leaders continue to reject the commandments of God in order that they might keep their own traditions: Not traditions that add to our Creators commandments but rather traditions that attempt to abrogate or do away with the commandments that He wrote in stone.
Some would tell us that as believers, under grace, we no longer have to concern ourselves with those commandments – while at the same time, aspects of worship, known to be pagan in origin, such as Easter, Christmas and Sunday rest – traditions of men – are defended. With the first four commandments gone – anything and everything can be ascribed to the worship of our Creator.
We have an adversary who cares not whether we add to God's commandments or whether take away from them just as long as we are off the narrow path that leads to life.
Let us recall the admonition of the Psalmist: The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. The Lord himself will preserve His words forever and no man will ever add to or subtract from them.
Beware lest any man spoil YOU through philosophy and vain deceit, after the TRADITIONS OF MEN, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints,
I'm Richard Rives, with Just the Facts
Historians recognize December 25 as a well known pagan birthday, honoring many of the ancient sun gods.
Those who attend our bible schools and seminaries are well aware of that fact; yet it is rare occasion when one of them will publicly admit it.
It's easy to learn the origin of celebrations on December 25th. Encyclopedias plainly reveal the facts; and today, by way of the internet, with only a few minutes of research you will learn all you need to know. It was thought to be the birthday of pagan gods long before the time of Christ.
A good example is found in the fact that in Rome, a pagan temple for the sun god known as the Invincible sun, was dedicated on that day.
So why won't Christian leaders tell us? They are ashamed of it. It cannot be defended; and they just don't want to talk about it.
Do you think that perhaps there may be other things that we are not being told?
Earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints,
I'm Richard Rives, with Just the Facts.
Many highly educated people have come to the conclusion that Christianity is nothing more than a new version of pagan mythology. There are many examples.
One reason they believe that, is the fact that December 25th is known to have been considered the birthday of pagan gods long before the time of Christ. Even so, now, it is widely accepted as the birthday of our Savior.
Those folks think that we are stupid – but there is a difference between deception and stupidity. Many of us have been deceived by our religious leaders and teachers. I know that I was; and, when I found out, I knew that it was my responsibility to warn others. That is the purpose of these commentaries.
The book of Romans has something to say about those who reject the Gospel of Christ. We are told that: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. December 25th never had anything to do with the birth of our Savior, yet many pseudo intellectuals have believed the lies of the theologians to the extent that they have rejected Christ all together. What are we going to do about it?
Romans 1:18 speaks of those who withhold the truth in unrighteousness. We are told that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against them.
In an information age that plainly reveals the pagan nature of December 25th. will we demand honesty or will we be complicit with those who purposefully withhold the truth?

December 25th, A Happy Birthday? – by Richard Rives
December 25th is well known as the birthday of various pagan gods.
A Roman calendar drawn up by a "Christian" in 354 A.D. (The Codex Calendar of 354) shows December 25 to be the birthday of Sol Invictus. Not only is it listed as a pagan birthday; but, it is listed as the most important pagan birthday of the whole year. It was celebrated in the Roman Circus with extra chariot races. This is the sun god that Constantine the Great worshipped while claiming to be a "Christian." His coins state that he was "committed to Sol Invictus." Constantines' form of "Christianity" continues to influence Christianity today. December 25th is just
The renowned Oxford English Dictionary informs us that the name Easter is derived from the name of a goddess whose festival was celebrated at the time of the vernal equinox. We are told that she was originally known as the dawn goddess – no doubt the origin of sunrise celebrations at the time of Easter.
According to Venerable Bede, a seventh century Anglo-Saxon theologian, the English word Easter is derived from the name of the pagan fertility goddess Eostra. He tells us that "the heathen Anglo-Saxons called the fourth month "Esturmonath" after their goddess Eostra – another name representing the spring fertility goddesses such as Astarte or Ashtaroth, the goddess who was introduced into the British Isles by the Druids. In all actuality Easter is just another
In the year 1517, the Protestant Reformation is known to have been initiated, when the German monk Martin Luther nailed his ninety five theses to the door of Wittenberg Church. It is commonly thought that the basis of the reformation was Sola Scriptura, or Scripture Only; the authority of scripture over that of church councils and the concept of Papal infallibility.
Today, while calling themselves Protestants, mainstream Christianity continues to adhere to pre-reformation church tradition that is in direct opposition to scripture. While reformation did occur in the 16th century; the proclamation of it, as being Sola Scriptura in nature, is misleading.
Man has not been given the authority to add to, or take away from, the precepts of God. Yet, as in the garden of Eden, the serpent in an attempt to deceive asks:
"Hath God said?"
Yes, – He has spoken and the Word of God does not change!
When that Word became flesh and dwelt among men, the most religious of all
Romans Chapter 14
has nothing to do with the seventh day sabbath.
It is in reference to fast days.
The Pharisees required fasting two days per week.
See Luke 18:12 …I fast twice in the week….
1Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not
The Greek word
used in Colossians 2:16 is the same Greek word translated "week"
in other places by King James translators.
The word used in Colossians 2:16 is different from the Greek word
which is used to indicate more than one weekly sabbath day.
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
We observe that in the book of John, Jesus tells us that in order to bear fruit we must abide in him. He goes on to tell us that the way we abide in him is to keep His commandments. The instruction to keep the sabbath day holy is

Minute Menu Kids Pro is an online family child care management software program that can save you time and money on your taxes.
The program is most commonly used by child care providers to complete their Food Program paperwork and electronically submit claims to their sponsor. Minute Menu contains built-in CACFP approved meals, ingredients, pre-planned menus, as well as easy-to-track meal counts and attendance records.
Minute Menu also contains a comprehensive record keeping section that tracks parent payments, prints receipts, calculates your Time-Space percentage, and tracks all business expenses. The program is updated each year with current mileage and meal allowance rates, and it organizes business expenses into categories that match IRS tax forms.
Here's an example of how the program will help you track business expenses: When you are ready to enter an expense the program will ask you to identify the store where you purchased it, the car you used and the number of miles to the store. It will remember the miles and automatically add them when you make future trips to the same store.
Then you will identify the what the item is by choosing from a pull-down menu of expense categories that match the IRS tax forms. The program will ask you to choose if the item is to be used 100% for your business, Time-Space percentage, or an actual business use percent. With this information you can print out reports that mirror the major IRS tax forms (Schedule C and Form 8829). This will make it much easier to file your taxes, whether you do it yourself or use a tax professional. Note: Minute Menu is not a tax preparation software program.
Minute Menu has over 50 reports that you can use to track parent payments, child information, daily activities, birthdays, emergency contacts, and more.
Because Minute Menu is web-based you can access it on any computer that is connected to the Internet: no worries about your computer crashing and no need to back-up your data - it's automatically saved.
Minute Menu is hosted on a secure site, with encrypted communications and password protection. You can also use the program to bill your parents electronically.
It is used by over 30,000 family child care providers and costs $69.95 per year. Members of the National Association for Family Child Care get a discount. You can use it free with a 30-day trial offer. You can get six months access to Minute Menu if you buy the Family Child Care Business Kit. Minute Menu runs on a PC.
Note: Years ago Redleaf Press offered its own software program - CK Kids (based on its Calendar-Keeper). After discontinuing this program, they worked with another company to develop a new record keeping program which was eventually bought out by Minute Menu. I helped develop the record keeping section of the Minute Menu program.

20 Questions With...Adam Cooper
Editorial Staff • West End • 11 Aug 2003
Having started dancing at the age of five and training from the age of seven, Adam Cooper entered the Royal Ballet School at 16. In September 1989, soon after graduating, he joined the Royal Ballet Company itself, rising quickly through the ranks until being made Principal Dancer just five years later.
At the Royal Ballet, Cooper's many roles included Kings of the North and South in Prince of the Pagodas, Tybalt and Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, Crown Prince Rudolf in Mayerling, Lescaut and Gaoler in Manon, Husband in Anastasia, in addition to several other new roles created for him by choreographers such as Ashley Page and William Tuckett. Cooper also partnered some of today's leading ballerinas; amongst them, Sylvie Guillem, Darcey Bussell, Viviana Durante and Sarah Wildor, whom he married in 2000.
Despite his enormous success with the company, it was away from the Royal Ballet that Cooper achieved international recognition outside the world of dance. In 1995, he was approached by choreographer Matthew Bourne to create the role of The Swan/Stranger in Adventures in Motion Pictures' new all-male production of Swan Lake.
The multi award-winning production went on to become the most successful ballet of all time, with extended runs in the West End and on Broadway (where Cooper was nominated for Best Actor in a Musical at the 1999 Tony Awards) and numerous international tours. In 2000, Swan Lake comprised the final scenes for the hit British film Billy Elliot, in which Cooper played the grown-up title character.
The dancer also starred in Adventures in Motion Pictures' Cinderella and has appeared as a guest artist with the Scottish Ballet, at La Scala in Milan and back at the Royal Opera House with the Royal Ballet, which he left in 1997. Since leaving the Royal Ballet, Cooper has also had more time to devote to his own choreography.
Last year, Cooper donned both his dancer and choreographer hats with his first foray into musical theatre in Paul Kerryson's acclaimed revival of Rodgers and Hart's 1936 classic, On Your Toes, which ran at the Leicester Haymarket in May 2002. The production - which now also features Cooper's wife Sarah Wildor as a Russian prima ballerina - is remounted this month for a limited season at London's Royal Festival Hall.
Date & place of birth
Born 11 July 1971 in Tooting, south London.
Trained at...
The Jean Winkler School of Dance in Tooting, south London; Arts Educational School London; and, from the age of 16, the Royal Ballet School.
Lives now in...
West London, on the border between Acton and Ealing.
First big break
I guess it was when I was in the Royal Ballet company and the resident choreographer, Kenneth Macmillan, noticed me and put me into a leading part in my first year in the company when I was still 18-years-old. In fact, it was two parts. I played the King of the South and King of the North in Prince of the Pagodas. To come straight out of school into leading roles was incredible.
Career highlights to date
In terms of the Royal Ballet company, the things I remember are working with Sylvie Guillem, Darcey Bussell and dancing in Mayerling, the biggest part created for a male ballet dancer. Since then, being in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake and doing On Your Toes. Working with my wife Sarah Wildor is always a highlight.
What's it like working with your wife?
We rarely get to but when we do, it's very special. We're both very instinctive performers. I don't think it always works when couples perform together, but when Sarah and I are on stage together, we have a great chemistry. We're very similar in the way we approach roles and the way we like to vary what we do all the time. Neither of us wants to get stuck in just one way of doing things.
Favourite co-stars
My wife, of course, is a favourite. Also, the two guys who played the princes in Swan Lake - Scott Ambler and Ben Wright. We performed together so often, on and off for eight years, and we created a special relationship to make that work and keep working. It developed over time, but it was a very special bond.
Favourite choreographers
I've got tons. Kenneth Macmillan would be the first. Also Matthew Bourne and William Tuckett spring to mind immediately. For me, a good choreographer is somebody who pushes the boundaries of the medium they're working in. All three of those have done that. And also, somebody who moulds their work to fit you as a dancer. It then always feels very personal when you're dancing it. It feels like your role, even if other people dance it or have danced it before. When you're dancing it yourself, you think, this is my role.
What inspires your own choreography?
I loved doing it when I was a kid. I used to have fun with my brothers making up dances. Then when I was 16, at the Royal Ballet School, I took part in their two-year choreographic course. I won a competition there. So I always enjoyed choreographing and I continue to enjoy it. Obviously, my performance career will be shorter than my choreographic one, so I've concentrated more on the performing to date. But if there's a project I feel passionate about, I'll do it. Choreography is a part of me most people don't necessarily know, but ever since I left the Royal, I've been doing a lot of choreographing - one or two pieces every year. It was just put on hold while I was a dancer at the Royal Ballet because I never had time to do it.
Favourite directors
I don't know that many. I've loved working with Paul Kerryson, and also Stephen Daldry who I worked with on Billy Elliot. Nobody's talked to me about the stage musical of that. In the film, I was just at the end as part of Matthew's Swan Lake. I don't know what they'll be doing for the ending in the stage version.
Favourite musical writers
I don't know about favourite writers but, of the shows I've seen recently, I loved Our House. I had the best time at that show. I'm not interested in seeing a rock concert that calls itself a musical, but I think that with Our House, they got the mix just right. It has all the Madness music that you know, but you've got this great story, too. And it was so well staged, so well choreographed and so well performed. I thought it thoroughly deserved its Olivier Award. It's such a shame it's coming off. I can't believe it. So that's my favourite musical of 'now'. As for the older ones, my favourite is West Side Story. The Jerome Robbins choreography is a seminal piece of art.
Do you find it very different working in musical theatre as opposed to dance?
Yes, I do kind of. Less so as a choreographer, because my dance comes out of storytelling anyway. Whatever I'm doing in musicals, and in pure dance, it always has a theme or a story attached to it, and I approach it in the same way. Obviously, with musicals, I'm dealing with a wider range of styles. With On Your Toes, I'm dealing with tap, I'm dealing with vaudeville, jazz ballet and classical ballet. Which is also the reason I was so excited about doing it, because it gave me a chance to work again in all those styles, having not danced them for such a long time. I just do what feels natural. As for performing, because I had so much more I had to practice for this - the singing voice, the speaking voice, the acting, the tap - it's again a much wider range.
What would you advise the government to secure the future of British theatre & dance?
Give us some money. As far as dance is concerned, the Arts Council are quite generous, but the majority of money goes into places like the Royal Opera House. There are lots of small, interesting dance companies that are really struggling. And theatre, well, the West End is not the most attractive place to come into at times, and there's not enough going on. It's pretty quiet at the moment, isn't it? Theatre needs a boost. Of course, it depends on what's on, but you've got to have things to entice people to make the trip in. Things like the congestion charge need rethinking. The charge ends at 6.30pm, but that means people can't come in and have a pre-theatre dinner. I know it's only a fiver, but it seems ludicrous to me when there are so many businesses in this area. And the theatres themselves - so many of the buildings need serious refurbishing and I think the government should help out with that. There are lots of things they could be doing. It's not like in New York, where there's such a buzz about Broadway. That's the kind of thing we need here. I'm not saying I know the answers, but it needs some thought put into it.
If you hadn't become involved in dance, what would you have done professionally?
Music was always a big part of my life so it probably would have had something to do with that. My dad was a musician and I was singing and playing instruments from the age of four. I played the violin, the piano and the drums mainly. At the age of 11, I had to decide whether to concentrate more on the theatre or music side of things.
Favourite books
I have favourite authors: Robert Goddard, Ken Follett, Minette Waters. They're my top three, and I tend to read all of their books.
Favourite holiday destinations
Gozo. It's a small island close to Malta. It's like Malta but without all the commercialism. It's lovely and very quiet. Sarah and I love quiet holidays. Gozo we've been to several times, and it's one of our favourites. Another one is Mauritius where we spent our honeymoon. Also Egypt I would recommend to anyone - a cruise down the Nile is unbelievable. Palm Springs is another. When Sarah and I were in Los Angeles doing Cinderella for two months, I think six out of the eight weekends we went to Palm Springs.
Favourite after-show haunts
The Ivy, darling! Or Joe Allen's.
Favourite websites
Well, you might as well give my website - www.adam-cooper.com. I have two ladies who manage it for me, and I write a diary for it when I can. Since I went freelance, people didn't know what I was doing all the time so many of them asked me to start a website. It's only been going for about four months. I was in Japan doing Swan Lake recently and, after I came back, it was absolutely mad with Japanese fans leaving messages. I try to respond to everyone who emails, but sometimes it takes me awhile because of my schedule.
How did you come to be involved with this production of On Your Toes?
My agent heard that Leicester were thinking about doing it. She knows Paul Kerryson very well and phoned him up and said, I've got the perfect client for you. He said, alright then. So I was on board as a performer about a year before we first did it. Then, when the question of who was going to choreograph came up - I'm not sure who's idea it was, it certainly wasn't mine - someone suggested I could have a go at that as well. I didn't quite realise the amount of work involved!
There seems to be a real buzz about the show now, which is nice. When we did it a year ago in Leicester, I kind of thought, this is cool, it's out of London so nobody in the business is going to see it, which was a relief. I mean, it was my first time acting on stage, my first time singing on stage, my first time doing tap dancing on stage, my first time choreographing a musical. All these firsts for me. And I thought, thank god nobody's going to see it ... if it all goes pear-shaped, I'll still be able to keep my head held high. And then everybody came to see it! London producers, casting directors. So it wasn't quite the event I thought it was going to be. But I'm glad now, and I'm glad that we're able to do it again.
Have the role's acting & singing requirements presented a challenge to you?
Absolutely, they're very challenging because I'm obviously not as experienced in them as I am in the area of dance. I haven't got as much to fall back on as other performers; it still feels quite new to me. But I love it, I love every moment. And, having done the show last year, this year I'm already starting to feel more confident. I'm starting to play around with it a bit more and feel at home in the role.
How did you approach creating the production's choreography?
It's been a real team effort. I rely heavily on my assistant Greg Pichery, who's in the show as well. When we first started in Leicester, we locked ourselves in a studio and worked on our own for two weeks, coming up with a bulk of material that we could use. Once rehearsals started, we'd rehearse the company every day until 6.00pm then we'd stay on at night for another three hours working out more stuff. It was hell, absolute hell. And, as both performer and choreographer, basically, in rehearsals, I have to be three places at once: rehearsing the ensemble, rehearsing the principals and doing my own stuff as well. Greg has been great, he reset a lot of it and checked it over. This second time around in London, it's been a lot easier because most of it has already been set. So I've been able to work out some changes I wanted to do and work with Sarah. It's been a lot happier.
What's your favourite number in On Your Toes?
As a performer, I love "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue". The marriage of music and movement is fantastic. I have a love/hate relationship with "On Your Toes", which is the big dance number in Act Two. It makes me incredibly nervous to watch because it's a long number, it's technically hard and there's just so much to worry about, but the audience go absolutely bonkers for it. So the sense of pride when it all comes off is fantastic. But I do go through hell, because for most of it, I'm standing at the side of the stage just watching it every night. I'm right there but powerless. I want to shout out, 'Keep in line', 'Watch your arm'!
Why has it taken a year for On Your Toes to come to town?
Initially, we were trying to get a London run in one of the West End theatres, but things kept getting in our way. Raymond Gubbay has stuck by us all the way, and because they'd done Follies at the Festival Hall last year, it seemed like a good place to do it. There are two things I like about the Festival Hall. One, it's an amazing space. Two, it's where I did my first-ever professional performance as a ballet dancer. It was when I was a child of 12 and I appeared in what was then London Festival Ballet's Nutcracker. So it's nice to go back there now.
It feels like there's a big buzz about On Your Toes. I think it's coming at a good time, before Thoroughly Modern Millie and the return of Anything Goes. I think we're filling a gap. Hopefully, people will come to see the show and, if it proves popular enough, who knows what will happen.
What are your other plans for the future?
In December I'm dancing with the Royal Ballet in a triple bill, with a new ballet by William Tuckett. Apart from that, I'm working on various projects, none of which has a specific timescale attached to them yet, but at least one of them will work for next year. I hope to do more musicals, too - if the right thing comes along. I'm quite picky when it comes to what roles I do, especially with musicals. Because it's a different medium for me, I want to feel like I can show my best skillset. So I'm quite specific but, yes, I would love to do more.
- Adam Cooper was speaking to Terri Paddock
On Your Toes opened at London's Royal Festival Hall on 7 August 2003 (previews from 4 August). It continues its strictly limited season to 6 September 2003.

Jane Fortune causes a stir when she arrives in the small community of Dingleford. She has bought an old cottage and plans to open a tea room. Old friends Charles Weatherby and Harold Prestcott both fall for the newcomer, but her behaviour seems to vary wildly - she encourages first one then the other and at other times barely recognises them. Is there more to the fair Miss Fortune than meets the eye?
Never before recorded as an audiobook, this charming story was originally written in the 1930s, when it was thought to be too old-fashioned to appeal to the modern market.
©2011 the Estate of D. E. Stevenson (P)2012 Soundings
"Charming addition to the D.E. Stevenson collection"
I was delighted to find this little story- a gently wry and humorous tale of twin sisters and their confused beaus from the pen of the talented Dorothy Emily Stevenson.
"A Humorous Look at 1930s English Village Life"
This is the second D E Stevenson that I have never read, but have discovered on audio. It is an almost P G Woodhouse type book. It has hapless young men, mistaken identities and one very nasty woman who is thoroughly thwarted. There are some very funny character summations by other characters, and the book pokes fun at a lot of English village "types". It is not a big book. It is a rather frothy book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
"Classic D. E. Stevenson!"
I have already recommended it and the author. The story is charming but not entirely predictable. I didn't want to "put it down," but listen until it was finished.
Although the language and story differs, the flavor is similar to anything by Jane Austen, as if Jane Austen were alive and writing in the 20th century.
You don't notice Tomlinson at all, just the characters. She brings them alive.
Charles. It would be fun to pick his brain about life in his village, beyond what's in the book.
D. E. Stevenson is my favorite author after Jane Austen. I love the humor and the commentary on British culture of the era.
"Great story!"
I could knit or sew by hand while I listened.
I like how she varied the voices for the characters.
I liked Charles.
I liked Sylivia, Charles's mother because she was kind and compassionate.
This book was truly awful. Possibly one of the worst I've ever read. Over simple story. Smug & irritating. The "twist" was predictable within the first 5 minutes of reading.
Move along, nothing to see here.

When Kemp entered the political realm as a Congressman representing the Buffalo area and western New York, he was already known to millions because of his accomplishments in professional football. Kemp is a graduate of Occidental College where he was a star quarterback and he entered the new American Football League soon after graduation. He eventually became the starting quarterback for the San Diego Chargers and grew into the role of a team leader. He was captain of the Chargers from 1960 to 1962 and also of the Buffalo Bills, the team he helped lead to the AFL championship in 1964 and 1965, when he was named the league's most valuable player. Showing his penchant for leadership and organization, he cofounded the AFL Players Association and was five times elected president.
After Kemp's transition to the political realm, he continued the same pattern of leadership and success. He represented the Buffalo area for 18 years in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1971 to 1989. He served for seven years in the Republican
leadership as Chairman of the House Republican Conference. Kemp served for four years in the Cabinet as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and proved to be one of our nation's most innovative leaders. He was the first and strongest advocate of Enterprise Zones to encourage entrepreneurship and job creation in urban America and of expanding home ownership among the poor through resident management and ownership of public housing.
Kemp is a codirector of Empower America, a public policy and advocacy organization he cofounded in 1993 with William Bennett and then-ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick. Empower America is dedicated to three founding principles at the core of Kemp's convictions: expanding freedom and democratic capitalism; promoting policies to expand economic growth and entrepreneurship for our nation; and advancing social policies that empower people, not government bureaucracies.
Jack Kemp is visiting Claremont McKenna College as Chair of the Henry Kravis Leadership Institute's conference entitled "Training to Lead: The Impact of Sports on Leadership." His talk this evening at the Athenaeum is the keynote address for the conference and follows a panel discussion to be held from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. in Mary Pickford Auditorium.
The dinner at the Athenaeum is for members of the CMC community only. The public is invited to the address at 6:45 p.m. and overflow seating will be accommodated in McKenna Auditorium with live, remote broadcast.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
By Antoinette from USA on 2011-07-02 14:39:54Things I liked:I just got this gun yesterday and it is awesome. It is pretty big, accuracy is ok, it's made of plastic yes, but I've let it fall 3 or 4 times and there is not one crack on it. It comes with 8 shells which the bullets fit into perfectly, ignore the other dude who said to cut them or something. I'd recommend this for small airsoft wars like in your alleyway or something, I wouldn't use this in long range battles. I'd say it has about 250-260 fps, like it says. Good for the price too.
Things I would have changed:Increase the accuracy a bit, but otherwise nothing.

By oneTuffCustomer from USA on 2012-01-02 20:07:28Things I liked:the weight, balance, look, and the scale were all good.
Things I would have changed:Accuracy and range were much shorter than hoped for (just like it's lifespan). The material and durability of the working parts, as well as the casting of supporting tabs should be MUCH better quality
What others should know:This purchase was a waste of money. my son opened this on christmas eve. He loved it. He's not at all abusive with his bb guns, he's a builder and collector. THE TABS SUPPORTING THE MOVING PARTS DISINTEGRATED WITHIN 5 DAYS. WE'RE ALL EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. Since I wasn't here to caution him when it happened, he voided the warrantee and opened it up to see what was wrong, so now it's a $40.00 paperweight. We won't buy this brand of junk again.

America: The World's Greatest Purveyor of Violence Today
February is Black History Month, and a perfect time to reflect on the nonviolence and antiwar stance of Dr. Martin Luther King. Recently, my colleague, Mark Thompson, reminded me of an important Dr. King quote when I appeared on his radio show to discuss the Tucson shooting. It was a speech the slain civil rights […]
The Pentagon and the King Legacy
William Lorenz Katz: Was not Martin Luther King, Jr. reaching beyond Vietnam when he warned of "approaching spiritual death" and called for "a significant and profound change in American life and policy" and insisted "we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values." Was he only speaking of Vietnam when he said, "War is not the answer?"

Rivalry Rundown
UNM: The Lobos swept the Rio Grande Rivalry Series this season with a 60-37 win over the Aggies at The Pit on Nov. 20 and a 60-44 victory in Las Cruces on Dec. 18. In game one, the Aggies had trouble making shots, but kept the stats similar to the Lobos. The Aggies collected 44 rebounds on the evening with six assists and two blocks. The Lobos were quite similar to NM State with 43 boards, but tallied 16 assists on the evening. Game two finished in similar fashion with the Lobos claiming a 60-44 victory over NM State at the Pan Am on Dec. 18. The loss at home marked the first of the 2012-13 season. Sasha Weber led the Aggies with 10 points and three rebounds on the evening. The Aggies shot 30.4 percent from the floor but tallied eight steals as a team with 27 rebounds. Those stats were not enough to hold off the Lobos who finished the game shooting 47.5 percent from the field and picking up 42 rebounds on the night.
UTEP: NM State took game one of the Battle of I-10 rivalry series with a late game battle to a 69-68 win over the Miners. UTEP maintained the lead throughout most of the game, gaining as much as a 15 point lead in the first half, but Stefanie Gilbreath finished her first Battle of I-10 game with a stellar 22 points to collect a regular-season career high. She went 5-for-8 on three pointers and picking up eight rebounds to match her career-high. Sophomore Danesia Williamson also picked up a career-high with 23 points on the game with a solid 10-of-12 at the line. Game two was set to a different tune with the Miners running away early with the 66- 44 win over NM State in El Paso. The Aggies struggled on offense, scoring just 14 points in the first half of play. The second half was a bit more positive as Williamson collected 13 points in the half with two field goals and one three pointer. She was 6-for- 6 at the line with four rebounds. Jasmine Rutledge finished the game with 11 points on the evening and compiled nine points at the line to mark a new career best for the junior.
Tournament Champs: The New Mexico State Aggies claimed the Aggie Hotel Encanto Thanksgiving Classic tournament title with a stellar 50-44 win over UC Irvine on Saturday evening at the Pan American Center. The previous night, the Aggies claimed a 55-52 win over the Patriots of George Mason. With the 2-0 record on the tournament, NM State's Kelsie Rozendaal and Sasha Weber were named to the All-Tournament team. Rozendaal was also selected tournament MVP for her work on the hardwood.
Trakh Signs Five to NLI: Head coach Mark Trakh announces that five high school players have signed National Letters of Intent to join the Aggies in the fall of 2013. Trakh is in his second season with NM State and has led the Aggies to a 1-0 start to the 2012-13 season. Joining the Aggies in 2013 are Tamera Williams of Centennial High School (Las Vegas, Nev.), Brianna Freeman of Harker Heights High School (Killeen, Texas), Vanessa Garner of Archbishop Mitty High School (Milpitas, Calif.), Moriah Mack of Reagan High School (San Antonio, Texas), and Brandee Walton of St. Mary's High School (Phoenix, Az.)
Last Season: Under the helm of first-year head coach, Mark Trakh, the Aggies finished the 2011-12 season with a 6-24 overall season record. This left NM State with a 3-11 Western Athletic Conference record. The Aggies made an appearance at the WAC Championships at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. (3/7). The Aggies were seeded eighth in the tournament but were quickly booted out by No. 1 66-58 State. Senior guard Tabitha Wampler was the most recent Aggie to join the 1,000 Point Club with a career 1,254 points (2008-12). She joins former teammates Danisha Corbett and Madison Spence along with Aggie great Anita Maxwell (2,601) and Andrea Kabwasa (1,788). Another highlight for the Aggies in 2011-12 was coach Trakh coaching his 500th game of his career as a Division I head coach. In his 17th year on the sidelines, the floor general notched the milestone against Hawai'i in Las Cruces Feb. 16.

Legacy Group - PiaSoma, Balancing Body-Mind Month of May 11-June 8 , 2014This workshop's start date has passed.
Workshop Details
"My passion is to help co-create a deeper and more profoundly satisfying experience of Life," writes Char Pias. PiaSoma is a somatically based approach to personal development and transformation. The foundational premise is to access the innate wisdom of the body to release stress, chronic tension, and trauma, and thus bring the body-mind back into balance or homeostasis. From this state of being, we gain a renewed sense of self, an expanded perspective, and the ability to clearly recognize life-affirming choices. The main modalities that participants will experience during this monthlong immersion are TRE®-Tension/Trauma Release Exercises, a simple and effective self-care technique, and PiaSoma Touch, a form of laying-on-of-hands and bodywork received through clothing. Supporting activities will be introductions to meditation, Qi Gong, dance, and Circle of Life Wellness Coaching.
PiaSoma was created over three decades by teacher and facilitator Char Pias. The word 'PiaSoma' is derived from Char's Greek surname, which originates from the Latin meaning sacred, honest, kind, and devoted. Soma is from the Greek, literally meaning the physical body. The field of somatics encompasses holistic, body-centered approaches that help people reconnect with self and transform through practices that promote psycho-physical awareness and well-being.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 2003 Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has approved the 120-day deployment to Iraq of units of 1st Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division, senior military officials announced Dec. 18.
He also approved a 60-day extension for the division's 3rd Brigade. Officials said the 3,500-strong brigade deployed to Iraq six months ago.
About 2,000 members of 1st Brigade's 3,500 soldiers will deploy the first week of January to provide essential capabilities during the transition between Operation Iraqi Freedom 1 and 2, officials said. The deployment is based on the combatant commander's assessment of what capabilities he needs during the transition.
Officials said 3rd Brigade will remain in Iraq to provide continuity until the 81st Infantry Brigade, an Army National Guard unit from Washington State, deploys in March. Originally, the 81st was slated to deploy in January, but because of operational requirements, the unit needed additional training to attain a higher level of proficiency than what was initially required.
Officials said it is likely there will be other adjustments in the rotation plan as the transition continues.

Best Blues Artist
And the winner is ... the Soulard Blues Band. No, this is not a recording from previous editions of the Slammy Awards. The Soulard Blues Band maintain their place at the top of the St. Louis blues scene by winning the Best Blues Artist designation for the fifth straight year -- and, judging by the voting, SBB aren't likely to lose their No. 1 ranking anytime soon. And there are plenty of good reasons. Some of the members of the Soulard Blues Band have been playing music together since the late 1970s, and the core of the band has been working together for at least the past decade. The result is a band that's about as tight as possible -- and that can be as loose and swinging as it wants as well.

Best Country Artist
What once seemed like the easiest music genre to define, or know what to expect from, country now ranges from polite Nashville conformity to reverent liberty-taking, a la the No Depression sect. In the best possible way, this year's winner for Best Country Band, Belle Starr, falls somewhere in the middle. Kip Loui has been on the St. Louis scene as long as just about anyone (save Bob Reuter of the wonderful Kamikaze Cowboy, who rode in at second) and his growth from starry-eyed popster to urban cowboy has been as beautifully gradual as that of a yellow rose. The St. Louis area has established itself as the holy land of the new alt-country, and Belle Starr proudly take the torch -- but they run with it in a brand-new direction.

Best Pop Artist
Sarah Cloud's music may not be the very cutting edge; she seems to prefer concentrating on the song itself rather than diverting attention away from it and into murkier waters. But the esteem in which she holds her songs is obvious when you hear her perform: each part intricately designed to carry an equal amount of the overall weight, each hook constructed to veer the song off in a slightly different direction, each instrument providing just enough momentum to keep the melody moving forward. The results are smooth and easy pop songs, sturdily built to withstand pressure.

Best Reggae/World-Beat Artist
As St. Louis evolves into a more ethnically diverse community, music arrives along with the immigrants, and as soon as the boxes are unpacked the music starts up, washing the area with new sounds. But one thing remains constant: Reggae at Will wins this category. They're a landmark outfit in St. Louis, constantly packing them in and getting the positive vibe flowing. They're a mainstay at Blueberry Hill -- you can find them in the Elvis Room every Saturday night -- and provide seamless reggae at every turn. The rest of the list is heavy on the Latin-based sounds, again reflecting the flavor of the city.

Best Hard-Rock Band
OK, rock & roll may not be dead, but hard rock sure is. Just try finding a true practitioner on the radio in this era of plastic-surgical remixing and EstroGenX grrrl folk. Therefore the genre must be redefined -- or, at least, more loosely defined. "Hard rock" fits this year's winner in the category, Celery, descriptively, if not classically. With jabbing funk-by-way-of-punk riffs and an undercurrent -- sometimes it's on top -- of pure satire, the slowly rising Celery has grown to a stalkable level, weathering personnel changes and a lull in momentum. It's the DIY ethic: punk energy planted with bare, working-class hands (well, at least pizza-making ones) and cultivated into a sound that crunches with aggression.

7. Clearglass Religion
8. Dogfight (7)
9. Circadian Rhythm
10. Full on Venus
Best Rock & Roll Artist
For the third year running, Stir snatches the honors in this category, a testament both to their massive popularity and to their ability to bang home their musical point. And, actually, the already blurry line that separates Best Rock & Roll and Best Hard Rock gets even foggier when it comes to Stir; they're hard, but a rollicking energy inside necessitates the extra signifier at the end. Elsewhere on the list is a more discernible twang, be it the psycho-twang of new comers the Trip Daddies or the punky twang of Stillwater. Most important, though, Stir has beaten some tough competition; St. Louis is awash in fantastic rock & roll bands these days.

10. Prisonshake (Tie)

Best Alternative Artist
You won't find a band that's more eclectic -- and offers more of a musical alternative -- than Autumn's Child. The group's sound is centered on Mark Holland's Native American cedar flute but also includes eclectic instrumentation such as cello and a host of Third World percussion mixed with guitar and bass. Over the past two years, Autumn's Child has built a solid following through concert appearances and the release of two CDs, A New Awakening and Born Out of Silence. Listening to the music of Autumn's Child, you'll hear some interesting new sonic combinations -- and after all, isn't that what alternative music is really supposed to be about?

By combining Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, you can take full advantage of each program's capabilities. Use Lightroom for photo organizing, sharing, and basic image enhancement. When you need more advanced retouching and editing features, one click sends a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop.
In this course, photographer and author Jan Kabili shows how to combine both programs. The course begins with details on how to set up the two programs for maximum compatibility. The course then covers strategies for working with photos in a variety of formats, sending them from Lightroom to Photoshop to viewing the edited results in Lightroom. The final chapter demonstrates several real-world scenarios for using Lightroom and Photoshop together.
Some photographers rely on Photoshop to process their photos, others swear by Lightroom. But I'd encourage you not to think of using Lightroom and Photoshop as an either/or proposition, but rather, think about them as a unit, each of which is better at some tasks than others. If you want the most functionality to process everything from a big shoot to that one special photo, the ideal situation is to have access to both Lightroom and Photoshop, and understand how to use them smoothly and efficiently together, which is what this course is all about.
But first, why use both Lightroom and Photoshop to process your photos? The main reason is that Lightroom and Photoshop are very different under the hood, and that affects what each program is best at. Under the hood, Photoshop is a pixel editor, but Lightroom is not. Instead, Lightroom works by creating editing instructions, which it stores by default in a database called a Catalog. That means that every photo adjustment that you make in Lightroom is non-destructive of the original photo. It's just a set of instructions about how to display the photo. And that is a big reason to make as many photo corrections as you can in Lightroom rather than in Photoshop.
Lightroom is particularly good at global corrections, those that affect the entire photo. Most of the photo corrections are done with intuitive sliders in Lightroom, and those sliders are arranged in the develop module with a built-in workflow where you can basically start at the top and move through the sliders in order. Another benefit that Lightroom offers is that it simplifies applying the same corrections to lots of photos, which is not such a simple thing to do in Photoshop. And Lightroom does a great job of keeping track of your photos in its database- style asset manager, the Library Module, which can keep track of photos no matter where they're located, even offline.
Photoshop, on the other hand, is a Pixel Editor. When you make changes to a photo in Photoshop, you're manipulating pixels in the actual photo, a potentially destructive workflow. Now there are some workarounds for nondestructive editing in Photoshop. Smart Filters is just one example. But those workarounds are not always that obvious, particularly to novice users. One reason is that Photoshop has been developing piece by piece for more than 20 years, and so its controls aren't as streamlined, nor its workflow as intuitive as Lightroom's.
However, Photoshop's ability to edit pixels means that it can do some things that Lightroom cannot do, or cannot do as well, like compositing, retouching, working with layers, making more precise local corrections, and more. In the last chapter in this course, I'll walk you through some scenarios like these in which it makes sense to pass images off from Lightroom to Photoshop, so please do stick with me for that important practical chapter. So those are differences in Photoshop and Lightroom that give you reason to use both programs together for photo processing.
There is one important way in which the programs are similar, and that is the way that they handle raw files. So I would like to just introduce that subject here. Lightroom can process non-raw files in JPEG, TIFF and PSD formats, but where Lightroom really excels is as a raw converter, a program that can take the raw data captured by your camera's sensor and convert it into a color image that you can see and work with on your pixel-based screen. In the process, Lightroom sliders and tools allow you to control the appearance of the converted image.
Photoshop itself isn't a raw converter like Lightroom, but Photoshop comes with a plug-in called Camera Raw that is a Raw converter, and in fact, that shares the very same processing code as Lightroom. If you keep Photoshop's Camera Raw plug- in updated, so it's the same vintage as your copy of Lightroom, Camera Raw will have the same capabilities and controls that you'll see in Lightroom. That fact has a lot to do with the Photoshop Lightroom integration features you'll see in this course working as expected for you.
So later in the course, I will show you how to update Camera Raw and what alternatives you have in the event of a mismatch between Camera Raw and Lightroom. So let's put out that information to work. What does a typical Lightroom Photoshop workflow look like, and what would you use each of the two programs for in that workflow? Well, I recommend that you begin processing in Lightroom and do as much of the photo corrections as you can accomplish there, focusing mostly on global photo corrections. The corrections that affect an entire image, like White Balance, Tonal Adjustments, Color Saturation, and more.
If you have other Photoshop in the same light, then try synchronizing your adjustments to them as well. A quick way to do that is with the Sync button in the develop module. If there are some localized trouble spots that could obviously be fixed with Lightroom's local adjustment tools, but maybe small sensor spots. I might work on those in Lightroom too, but I'd hold off on most local corrections till I get to the more precise tools that Photoshop offers. After working with the bulk of photos from a shoot in Lightroom, I'll usually cull out a few to pass over to Photoshop for further editing.
I'll take photos over to Photoshop to do things that Lightroom cannot do, like, as I said, layered compositing, or that I know I can do better in Photoshop, like more sophisticated retouching or any of the many other things that Photoshop excels at. Finally, if you use the techniques I'll show you in this course to pass raw and non-raw photos between Lightroom and Photoshop, when you're finished editing, the resulting file will be in your Lightroom Library, or you can take advantage of Lightroom's terrific database system to manage the corrected photo. And when you need to output a copy for a particular use, you can export a copy from Lightroom or take the photo into Lightroom's print, web, or book modules to get creative with your photos.
So that's a look at why to use Photoshop and Lightroom together, and an overview of the Photoshop Lightroom Workflow. Actually, using the two programs together involves some twists and turns, so let's dive in and see what those are in the rest of this course.

I'm actually already on 4.1u. It doesn't seem to matter what system menu I'm using: I can't format on 4.3 or 4.1, neither via the settings menu nor the nand formatter.
I'm curious as to what you think would be accomplished by downgrading anyway, even if I was on 4.2 or 4.3? (My best guess is that I have a corrupt message in my message board, which doesn't seem to be affected by the SM version). Did you have a corrupt message/"mail brick" too or something?

COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City High School senior Foster Eber won't be watching football and eating turkey on Thanksgiving.
He will be part of an 86-year tradition — the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Foster auditioned for the Macy's Great American Marching Band after watching last year's parade.
Foster will leave Saturday to meet up with approximately 250 band members to rehearse for the parade. The marching band will perform two pieces during the event, "Moves Like Jagger," and a jazz number entitled "Lazy River."
Foster plays trombone for the CCHS Marching Eagles and is also a drum major.
While in New York, Foster and other band members will rehearse five hours in the morning before being released to sight see the city's tourist attractions. On the itinerary is a visit to Times Square and Rockefeller Center.
In the aftermath of superstorm Sandy, city events have been rescheduled or cancelled all together, such as the New York City Marathon. But Foster said parade officials have assured him that the long-standing holiday event will step off as scheduled.
The chance to meet and play with band members from across the country is a bonus for Foster. "It is going to be neat to meet all the different people that will be there," Foster said. "What I am looking forward to is playing with people who are just as dedicated to marching band as I am. Knowing we all auditioned to be there means we are all the same in our love for band."
The 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will air on NBC from 9 a.m. to noon on Thanksgiving Day.
