WORCESTER, Mass. - Sacred Heart's Pierre-Luc O'Brien scored at 2:34 into sudden-death overtime as the Holy Cross men's hockey team fell to Sacred Heart, 5-4, in Atlantic Hockey action at the Hart Center on Saturday night. With the loss, the Crusaders fall to 4-5-0 overall (3-3-0 AHA), while the Pioneers improve to 7-3-1 overall (6-1-1 AHA).
The Pioneers got on the board first when Erik Boisvert scored his third goal of the season at 5:29 into the game. The Crusaders then answered with two straight goals to take a 2-1 lead. Junior Brian Kolb (Sandwich, Mass.) knocked in his own rebound at the 10:51 mark with assists credited to junior Chris Trovato (North Attleboro, Mass) and sophomore Marty Dams (Manotick, Ontario). It was Kolb's second goal of the year.
Holy Cross' second goal came on the power play when junior Dale Reinhardt (Livingston, N.J.) tipped in a slap shot by senior Jon Landry (Lexington, Mass.) for his sixth goal of the season at 13:22. Senior James Sixsmith (Alexandria, Va.) also assisted on the goal. Two minutes later the Pioneers tied the game at 2-2 with a power play goal by Alexandre Parent.
At the 16:57 mark of the second period, freshman Ryan Driscoll (Dorchester, Mass.) scored on the power play off a rebound from a shot by Landry to give Holy Cross a 3-2 advantage. Driscoll now has four goals on the season.
Sacred Heart tied the game at 15:39 into the third period when Parent scored his second goal of the game. Just 42 seconds later, Bear Trapp gave the Pioneers a 4-3 lead. With 1:47 remaining in the period, the Crusaders went with an empty net and took advantage of the extra man when Sixsmith tied the game with just 22 seconds left to send it into overtime. Landry sent a crossing pass to the lower left side of net where Sixsmith then placed the puck into the goal.
O'Brien's game-winner was his ninth goal of the season. Holy Cross freshman goalie Tyler Chestnut (Faribault, Minn.) made 25 saves and is now 2-2 on the season, while Jason Smith stopped 37 shots for the Pioneers and improves to 5-2. Holy Cross outshot Sacred Heart by a 41-30 margin, while the Crusaders went 2-8 on the power play and the Pioneers went 1-5.
Sixsmith now has 88 career assists which ties him for 10th all-time at Holy Cross with Larry Murphy (1966-70), while he is second all-time on Holy Cross' Division I assists list. Current San Jose Shark Patrick Rissmiller (1998-2002) owns the Division I record with 90 assists.
The Crusaders return to action on Friday and Saturday, November 17-18, when they host Army at the Hart Center. Both games are set to start at 7:00 p.m.

2015 Schedule
American Shakespeare Center Tour
Hamlet |
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is one of Shakespeare's most well known tragedies, with its immortal lines and haunting story. Tormented by his father's untimely death, the young prince, Hamlet, struggles to discern reality from illusion in the rotten state of Denmark as he copes with the loss of his father, his mother's remarriage, and life's biggest questions. For centuries, audiences have seen themselves in the brilliant, troubled prince at the center of this ghost story, comedy, seven-murder revenge thriller, and philosopher's gold mine.
Doctor Faustus |
The American Shakespeare Center will end their UT tour with a performance of Christopher Marlowe's thrilling tragedy Doctor Faustus. Based on the classic German myth, the tale of Doctor Faustus chronicles one academic's deal with the Devil to gain knowledge and power. Marlowe weaves a shocking and contemporary tale of the struggle between good and evil, championing what is most daring in the human spirit. In his masterpiece that predates almost all of Shakespeare's plays, Marlowe breathtakingly conjures Helen of Troy, the Seven Deadly Sins, angels, demons, and Lucifer himself, before dragging Faustus to Hell.

Dear Cake Central Magazine Reader,
I wanted to take the time to apologize to you all for the ongoing delays with the delivery of the October/November issue (Volume 1 Issue 7) of the magazine. As well, I would like to update you on the status and plan moving forward.
I know that you are frustrated that you have not received your magazine and rightfully would like to know why. The length of the delay is unacceptable, and we appreciate your understanding and support during these difficult couple of months.
We have given expected shipping dates before, and those dates did pass without the magazine shipping. I understand when that happens it may look like we are just giving dates to appease you, but I promise you we are not. Anytime we have given a date, it is because we had information that led us to believe the date would be accurate.
In no defense of the mistakes we made that contributed to this delay, I would like to offer some insight into the process for each issue of the magazine, and how we got the dates wrong. Putting out the magazine each month requires coordination between multiple companies, including Cake Central, the layout designer, the printing company, the bindery, the mail house, and the fulfillment staff. Consequently, there are several points along the way where glitches can come into the picture, and many of those steps we cannot directly control, fix, or change in the middle of production. Up until now things have been relatively smooth, with the exception of some postal service errors. With this most recent issue, we have run into various challenges at multiple points in the process which have each caused independent delays. We are working collaboratively with all of these companies and have identified and are working to resolve these errors in order to avoid these same challenges in the future
The October/November issue (Volume 1 Issue 7) has been printed, bound, and is being processed and shipped from the mail house. Most retailers that stock the magazine have received their inventory, and the subscriber copies arrived at the mail house at the beginning of the month. If you do not receive your copy by the end of the month, please contact us via http://cakecentral.com/contact/.
The vast length of the delay is inexcusable, and it is equally frustrating and disappointing for us as it is for you. We are dedicated to putting out the best magazine we can, the magazine this industry deserves, and we sincerely empathize when it is not delivered on time.
I know that you would have appreciated more communication than we provided, and we will do our best to increase the level of communication. Sometimes, we simply don\'t have anything new to explain, or we are not confident what expectation to set at that time, therefore we wait to make sure that what we do say is accurate.
In order to get back on track with the appropriate schedule, the next issue released will be Volume 2 Issue 1. We are converting from a monthly naming format to a numerical format. The plan is that you will receive Volume 2 Issue 1 in February. The layout designer is nearly done with the magazine, and then it will be off to the printer.
We are still targeting a new issue to be released every 30 to 45 days. We will post announcements when each issue is released so that you will know to be checking the mail for it.
You will receive the number of issues you paid for, we did not print a magazine in December, and this will not deduct from your subscription.
We are also in the preliminary stages of making the magazine available digitally in addition to print. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to access all the information Cake Central Magazine has to offer in your preferred format.
Cake Central has always been dedicated to making cake decorating, and the cake community, accessible to everyone in the world who wants to be a part of it. We take great pride in doing things that help advance the industry in some way.
I am really sorry that we have let you down, and I promise you we are working hard to get everything back on schedule in order to continue delivering a great cake magazine.
While you wait for your copy to arrive (and it should be arriving very soon!) we thought you might enjoy a preview of what you will see in this issue. Please enjoy this buttercream orchid tutorial by Lucinda Larson, pages 41 to 44 in the October/November (Volume 1 Issue 7) issue of Cake Central Magazine.

Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - Brian Randolph intercepted Ross Metheny on 4th-and-goal with just under a minute to play as the Tennessee Volunteers scraped out a 31-24 victory over the South Alabama Jaguars at Neyland Stadium.
Rajion Neal rushed for 169 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries to lead Tennessee (3-2). Justin Worley completed 20-of-36 pass attempts for 204 yards and two scores but was also intercepted three times. Jason Croom tied with four other players for the team lead with three receptions while totaling a team-best 50 yards.
Metheny's turnover late in the game was one of two interceptions he threw in the game for Western Kentucky (2-2). Metheny completed an even 50 percent of his pass attempts (21-of-42) for 233 yards but did add two scores and 67 yards on the ground. Shavarez Smith brought in four passes for 82 yards.
Metheny took off for a 32-yard touchdown run on South Alabama's first drive. Metheny set up the scoring play with a 28-yard completion to Smith on the previous play.
The Volunteers were forced to punt on their next possession but got the ball back when Metheny was intercepted by LaDarrell McNeil. The Volunteers took the ball over at the Jaguars' 23-yard line but couldn't get anything going and were forced to settle for a 40-yard field goal from Michael Palardy.
Before the end of the first quarter the Volunteers would take the lead when A.J. Branisel brought in a two-yard touchdown pass from Worley.
A 29-yard field touchdown pass from Worley to Josh Smith early in the second quarter extended the Volunteers' lead.
Neal ripped off a 53-yard run early in the second quarter. The rush set up the Volunteers for a two-yard touchdown run two plays later.
After setting up a score in the second quarter, Neal scored himself early on in the third period on an 11-yard touchdown run.
The Jaguars finally ended the Volunteers' scoring run with a five-yard touchdown run by Metheny midway through the third quarter. For the first time in the game the Jaguars scored on back-to-back drives when Aleem Sunanon hit a 24-yard field goal later in the quarter.
Midway through the fourth quarter, the Jaguars brought themselves to within seven points of Tennessee with a three-yard touchdown run from Cris Dinham.
The Jaguars had a chance to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, but after driving the ball to the Tennessee 8-yard line, Metheny was intercepted on 4th- and-goal, allowing the Volunteers to escape with the win.
Tennessee rushed for 278 yards on 37 carries for an average of 7.5 yards per attempt. The Volunteers finished with 482 total yards as compared to 392 from South Alabama.

Ghana defender Jeffrey Schlupp debuts for Leicester in Premier League; Atsu stays on Everton bench
Posted: Saturday, 16th August 2014 5 Comments comments so far - add yours!
Ghana defender Jeffrey Schlupp came off the bench to help promoted Leicester City earn a 2-2 draw with Everton in the opening weekend of the English Premier League.
The 21-year replaced Anthony Knockaert on 64 minutes when the Foxes were losing 2-1 to the Toffees at the King Power Stadium.
Compatriot Christian Atsu was an unused substitute by Everton who opened the scoring through Aiden McGeady in the 20th minute.
But José Leonardo Ulloa leveled two minutes later but Steven Naismith gave the visitors the lead again before the half-hour mark.
But with four minutes to the end, Chris Wood snatched the equalizer.

Minus 40 last night
Now that is cold. I write this just prior to heading out to feed and water and I'm not looking forward to it. When this cold the air seems to suck the air from the lungs.

Oh my! That is awful. How do you even keep a house warm (I know warm is a relative term!)?
Hope it warms up soon!
It's been -40 here all weekend...Layers, layers, layers! Cover your face!
I know what you mean, just walking from my vehicle to a grocery store, my breath is shortened and I feel like I am having an anxiety attack since I start to panic. Sure isn't a pleasant feeling.:-(
Same sort of temps here, and the house water is frozen, GREAT.
Aw man...and here I was complaining about -10. Yikes!
Windchill for me right now is -35F. In the sun.
Actual temperature is -12F.
Warm down there then, just checked we are at -20*f actual and we are at -44*F windchill, yup that 's officially cold
Protip - Don't live in the northern areas. Most especially if these areas don't have hills.
Please dont send it our way - though it seems to be dropping by the hour here today
I think it was about 2 weeks ago that my aunt who lives in Ontario said it was 'springlike' there so a huge change

It appears that E3′s relevance as the be-all, end-all event of video gaming might be coming to an end. With Sony Sony announcing the PS4 this February and Microsoft Microsoft set to unveil the next Xbox May 21st, it no longer seems that major brands care to wait for E3 each year to drop their largest information bombs.
The latest news on this front is that Nintendo Nintendo won't be hosting a major E3 press conference at all this year. Rather, they'll have a series of smaller events at the show, and continue to keep making bigger announcements via Nintendo Direct like they've been doing for a while now. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata summed all this up in a recently released statement in which he also said that he personally will not be speaking at these smaller E3 events. No word on Miyamoto.
Some may interpret this move by Nintendo as less of a rejection of E3, and more as they don't have anything to show that would be worth a huge press conference. In the past, Nintendo's press events at E3 have usually been some mix of new hardware (MotionPlus!) and new games (Skyward Sword!). I haven't heard even whispers of any new hardware for the Wii U, and this would seem to indicate that if Nintendo will be showing new games at E3, there aren't enough noteworthy ones to warrant a huge press conference. Hopefully we will get some new info about the long promised Smash Bros. title or the new Zelda game coming down the line, but who knows after this news?
Now the question remains, will Microsoft and Sony follow suit? Both will have debuted their new consoles by then, though it remains to be seen how much information Microsoft will give away during their reveal. Sony, meanwhile, hid the actual box from the public eye, along with the price. Both of those items were expected to be touched on at E3 this year.
If I had to guess, Microsoft and Sony will still have "major" E3 press conferences. Both have new consoles out this year, and one ahead-of-time announcement is likely not enough for them to demonstrate all they want to show with their new products. Perhaps their events will be a touch shorter than usual, but I expect they'll still exist in some form or another.
But if Sony and Microsoft do have big events and Nintendo doesn't, that may feed into the narrative that Nintendo is falling behind the other two, and that the Wii U isn't really even competing in this console generation. Everyone covering E3 each year always gives letter grades to each of the major press conferences, and there's always a ranking order of who did the best and worst. Perhaps Nintendo thinks the best strategy is not to play the game at all, but I'm not yet sure if this is more a reflection on their decline or E3′s fading relevancy.

The Buffalo Guys Buffalo Steaks
The Buffalo Guys Say Give Buffalo a Chance
by partysugar
Like us on Facebook
Being a buffalo virgin, I was incredibly surprised at how good it tasted. The steaks were pink, moist, and meaty. I falsely assumed that buffalo would be gamy or more like lamb. If I hadn't known it was buffalo, I would have guessed the steaks were a lean cut of beef. It's extremely important to properly cook the meat because it can dry out quickly. Generally a buffalo steak cooks a few minutes less than a beef steak.
Check out my photos below and tell me: have you eaten buffalo? What did you think of it?

As I am going to now explore cooking the meat, was wondering if anyone had an appetiser recipe for buffalo wrapped in bacon? Thanks!

I haven't tried it before but it looks like everyone here has enjoyed it.
pe 5 years
I enjoy buffalo. Buffalo Guys taste fine. But the premade burgers are a mess. Box says "No reason to thaw".I figured they were indvidually pkged. They aren't. If you don't thaw it you have to cook 2 burgers stuck together, which means they fall apart. I emailed just to let them know the problem: to suggest maybe rewriting directions or pkg individually. The email back wasn't rude, but wasn't friendly, kinda like "duh, why didn't you thaw it?". I will keep eating buffalo, just a different brand. Sorry guys.

It takes just like hamburger, only leaner. A buffalo burger patty is thinner and denser than a beef patty and doesn't have any greasy or fatty taste. I thought its taste was as good as beef if not better. I recommend it and would easily try it again.

I live in Colorado where buffalo is a mainstay on many local restaurant menus. I *love* buffalo steak, and think if you're new to the meat you should try it that way instead of ground up in a burger. MmmMmMm!

I've had buffalo burgers that were good, but my husband and I passed through Jackson, South Dakota on our honeymoon and he had buffalo ribs for dinner. Either buffalo ribs aren't very good or (and I suspect this was the real issue) the restaurant waaayyy overcooked them. They were dry, gamey, and a bit burned. Blech.

My bf and I agree that the best steak we've ever had is the Bison Delmonico at Ted's Montana Grill. Cooked to a nice medium, it is about the best thing in the world with their fresh pickles and a sweet potato. I also had the Farmstead Burger at a local bar -- ground bison, sharp cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles and a fried over easy egg on top (no mayo). YUM YUM!

:drool: I LOVE buffalo meat! The first time I had it was in the form of a burger and didn't look back. And then I had a small steak that I managed to grill myself at a resturant (Rok in downtown Sunnyvale). Soooo yummy, juciy, flavorful. Didn't taste gamey whatsoever. I wonder where I can get my hands on some buffalo meat instores in the south bay. Rok offers ostrich too....I think I'll give it a try :)

It's gonna take a whole lotta bacon to wrap an ostrich, Chief!

I need to try the buff bacon! You know what else is lean and really good...........think of the largest bird in the world........tastes more like beef than chicken!

I haven't tried it yet, but I can get it at my local butcher shop. I think I'll pick some up next time!

Buffalo is tasty. I like the bacon it makes -- very good for breakfast with scrambled eggs. Other cuts work very well as steaks or in stews. The ex did a roast buffalo last Christmas time in a crock pot. Man may have had his faults; cooking was not one of them. It was delicious. The taste is like beef only beefier -- and watch the cooking time and temp. Plus bison don't get stuffed with all the hormones and stuff cows get. Too bad none of the local grocers or butchers carry it, I have to go way south for it.

Oooh, bison meat is very tasty. I've had it a few times...there are a few bison ranches around here and there are a few restaurants that serve it. I like it because it's grass-fed and has a nice mild flavor to it.

Thanks, Yum. I don't know. I, like you, enjoy the fat of a burger. But, I might give it a try anyway.

Buffalo's really good. It tastes almost exactly like beef, but I've always found it to be a little... sweeter, I guess.

Buffalo doesn't taste gamey at all. Like Party said, its taste is very similar to that of lean beef. I've had buffalo burgers before, but to be frank, they didn't have enough fat, and let's be real -- that's where all the flavor is! I am game (sorry, had to do the pun) for trying a buffalo steak, though.

Bison is awwwwwsome! Helen's "home of the hateful burger" I miss you so!

I've had buffalo in a burger once, when I was in Utah on Antelope Island. The park has a number of buffalo running around, and they let the Native American community in the area (I think they're part of the Ute tribe, not sure) hunt the buffalo and sell the meat to the park each year...so the park can sell it to patrons in the form of buffalo burgers. It's a nice system. Since the buffalo on the island were pretty wild, the meat did taste a bit gamey. I didn't mind though. It tasted fresh and cleaner (not as greasy, with all the fat) than beef. I even bought buffalo jerky! Less calories + no fat = really good hiking snack. There's not much buffalo to consume for cheap in my area (in Texas, it's pretty much cattle country), but I wouldn't mind using it instead of beef in meals!
HoneyBrown1976 6 years
I'm interested. Does it taste like steak or is it gamey?

We use ground buffalo for our hamburgers and spaghetti. It's delicious and better for us. I didn't love the steaks as much but we have yet to master not overcooking the steaks.

Tweaking Your Images – Tutorial
This last week I have had a few people telling me that images shouldn't need any editing at all. I find this such a hard thing to understand, since, from what I can understand, images have been edited since the first images were made when photography first started. I was surprised to find that the first HDR image was done in the 1850's, so over 150 years ago. Even Ansell Adams edited his images, he manipulated them to suit what he wanted. Yet now, with the age of digital, for the first time, the camera is now supposed to be able to take the perfect image.
Then you start reading stuff that digital cameras can't take images the same way as film did. I understand this. When I was using film I would use different films for different types of photography. You can't do that with digital cameras. I have been reading Enmanscamera's Blog – Kamloops post on 10 tips for to make better prints. There are a couple of points made about what you need to do to digital images and gives good arguments why. I suggest you read it.
Two things it speaks about, I thought we would look at today. The image I am going to use it one that I showed a week or so back, one from the BMX that I had done nothing to.
The image looks pretty good, but I suspect it could look better. For this tutorial I am going to use the trial version of Photoshop Elements 11 that I have. I am thinking I might buy this for doing Tutorials.
The image has been opened in PSE11, this is what it looks like, pretty much.
So following on from the other blogs tips, I have opened an adjustment layer for Brightness/Contrast. To open this, go to Layer at the top, click on New Adjustment Layer, then click on Brightness/Contrast. I haven't changed the contrast too much. It is one of those things you have to be careful, too much contrast can really ruin your image. Have a go and see what it does.
Next is the sharpening. I had a lot of trouble working out where this was. So to find it go to Enhance, then go down to Adjust Sharpness…
This comes up, you can move the image around to where you want, I changed it to a face, that is usually what you want to be the sharpest.
I have changed the sharpness, but again, you need to be careful, it is very easy to go too far. Though I think you should try it out and see what it looks like when you do go too far.
I have to admit, I can't always tell when an image is sharpened, though I suspect you would be able to tell more when it is printed.
Even though these images are okay, I always thought that they were a little light, so I opened another adjustment layer and clicked on Levels. I have moved the slider so that the image was darkened a little, not much, just a little. This has helped make the image pop more and the colours start to stick out more.
The dirt track was very light, and so I used the Quick Selection Tool and selected the dirt track, then opened another Levels, Adjustment Layer and made it a little darker again.
Here are the two versions, the original on the left, and the tweaked image on the right. I have't done a lot to it, but it has been improved, and, I think, it looks so much better. If you saw the image on the right without me saying anything, you would think it looked fine and probably wouldn't have thought anything had been done.
Here it is on its own. I like this version and am very happy with the tweaking.
I still find it strange that doing this is considered cheating. I have been down to my photo lab where I get all my prints printed and they tweak images as well. They print them, then go through the images and make adjustments for each one.
Even working in the darkroom, each image had to have the light adjusted, the amount of magenta used for each one could change. You couldn't print image after image without making any adjustments. I have many proof sheets where all the images were given the same amount of time, some were fine, but most weren't.
So the next time you think that digital editing is cheating, remember that photographers have been cheating in the darkroom for over 150 years in their attempts to get that perfect, wonderful image. That is, after all what we are all looking for, that one beautiful image that we are so proud of. Okay, maybe more than one.
It has come to my attention that I have been nominated for some more awards.
Blog of the Year 2012, I have received 3 more nominations for this.
I have also received the Sunshine Award from
Also the Super Sweet Award from
That is enough for today. I would like to thank all of the blogs that have nominated me for awards and ask that you all go and visit their blogs as well.
As someone who used to be a B/W printer for Berenice Abbott who photographed 1920's NY and Paris, we had many techniques for improving her images in and out of the darkroom including lipstick masking, gold toning, and retouching the final prints with tiny brushes. You are simply and expertly using today's resources to improve and enhance your images. The initial photo of bikers is very good, the tweaked is better.December 3, 2012
Thank you orbphotog, wow, what an interesting job that must have been. I am so glad you agree with me.December 5, 2012
Thanks for the tips. It is always good to find how others approach digital editing. I never had any formal training. I experiment and retain little by little. Until I am governed by instinct. I created my first digital art piece in 1985. I think when it comes to creating art, digital art or otherwise, the freedom to explore, and express is so important. No constraints. Follow your instincts. You will know when a piece is at its visual best. Not perfect.December 3, 2012
I haven't really had any formal training either, I've just done a lot of reading and researching. Thank you so much Walter, I will.December 5, 2012
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on tweaking photos, Leanne. I think it's interesting to hear photographers' perspectives on adjusting photos. I was thinking the other day when I enhance photos digitally that perhaps I was "cheating," but then I thought some of the photos I've had developed have had different tones than the ones I print myself without touchups. I really like what you said in your conclusion.December 3, 2012
Thanks Steph, it has been really good the response to this post. I really agree with what you have said as well.December 5, 2012

You are an excellent instructor and I admire your patience to deliver comprehensive blogs like these. Thank you for sharing your world and knowledge with us. :)December 3, 2012
You are welcome, as long as people continue to enjoy them, then I will continue to do them. Comments like this keep me going , so thank you too. :)December 5, 2012
Thank you Anna,December 5, 2012
The tweaking looks great, less is more in some situations, but I also appreciate the full blown editing which changes the pictures completly from the original one, this makes photo's fun as you never know what you might do next.December 3, 2012
Thank you andershole, I agree with all of what you have said.December 5, 2012
You are absolutely right. Tweaking digital images is not cheating and photographers have been doing it for years. Remember dodging and burning in the dark room? For those who don't know, dodging was taking a small cut out of a shape and moving it around over the photographic paper while making a long exposure. For instance, if you have a subject like a person standing in front of the setting sun, but to get the brightness of the sun at the exposure you wanted, you'd have to make the subject too dark. One would move the shape over the subject while the rest of the print, in this case the sunset was exposed normally. This would make the subject exposed less, and the setting sun at the exposure you wanted. Today's digital programs make it all so much easier. Just a few memories from the old school. Great post. –Mark–December 3, 2012
Thank you Mark1, you have explained that really well. I remember doing it, but I really didn't have the patience for it. I forgot to mention in the post, so thank you for doing it.December 5, 2012
You're welcome xcanox and thanksDecember 5, 2012
Cheating in the darkroom sounds kinky, but we know it occurs ;) Freeman Patterson, who still works only with film, was trained to get composition right the first time. I love reading him on the prep that goes into a great shot. New films are being made to do tricks with saturation. 'Twas ever thus. We're all different and there's room for everybody – and that applies to a whole lot of things besides photography. Love your site.December 3, 2012
That was how I was taught get the composition right when you are taking the photo. Thank you mytiturkDecember 5, 2012
I absolutely agree that editing is just part of the creative process when it comes to photography. Is painting over something you don't like considered "cheating" in painting? No, it's painting. So why on earth is editing "cheating" in photography? It's not, it's photography…it's making use of the tools available to you to create the image you want.December 3, 2012
Thank you lupingirl1973, everything you said is fantastic.December 5, 2012
Thank you Leanne, I always learn something.December 3, 2012
Always good to hear garyschollmeier, thanksDecember 5, 2012
I don't thinks it's cheating but for me working on the computer is just boring, so I am endeavouring to get it as 'right' as possible in the camera as I did even when I used a dark room. But forced into digitizing through lack of a darkroom now, and the wish to put pix up on the net, sharpening is a necessity. As you say, it's very easy to go too far with this and many, many what might otherwise have been very good pictures are posted having been 'ruined' by over-sharpening. I know this is so but I'm still guilty of it. By the way, I've been working on a computer almost daily, for work, since before the days of PCs and Windows so this is probably why I find it boring to incorporate it into my hobby.December 3, 2012
My husband is similar. I really like working on the computer, so it is a bonus for me, but I can understand what you are saying. It is easy to go to far, and sometimes you have to go too far to understand what too far is. I think we are all guilty of it. Thank you.December 5, 2012
All images need some house keeping done to them. Film digital even when you paint your sketch is never final just your starting point. but i think there is cheating in Photoshop and photography in Photoshop. My rule of thumb is that if you can't do it in the dark room should it be done in Photoshop. By this i don't mead selective sharpening or lens correction which are part of the house keeping of an image but when the image in no way is the same as the original, when this occurs your image is now digital art not photography.December 3, 2012
Interesting statement Ben, but who decides when an image is digital art or photography. Who decides when something is art and when it isn't. questions that no one will ever agree on and will be asked for a long time to come. I remember having these sorts of discussions at art school. Thanks BenDecember 5, 2012
The question of what is art is quite complex I agree and photography is having similar arguments especially with Motography and Instagram. Is this photography? For me my guide lines help me on where the ever changing line in the sand is drawn. We will have to see how this topic evolves.December 5, 2012
That is really true BenDecember 5, 2012
Great tutorial and think you proved your point.December 3, 2012
Thanks Animalcouriers, I hope so.December 5, 2012
post processing is a really interesting topic. There was recently a case of the Landscape Photographer of the Year being stripped of his award as he had done too much (substituted a sky I believe) but how much is too much?? I avoided RAW and tweaking for years but in the end I found I can more accurately replicate what I saw by tweaking the shot as our eyes are far more advanced than a sensor will ever be. PLus I love saturated colour – very bad habit I've fallen into :(December 3, 2012
It is interesting, though I believe some competitions can be like that. There is always going to be a divide between digital editing and not. I can understand that documentary shots need to be unedited, but others, not so sure about. How did they know that the sky had been substituted?
Thank you.December 5, 2012
Well, I for one like your tweaks, and these definitely improve what is already a strong image. I'm interested in the idea that it might be cheating though – what or whom is it cheating? Personally I think that if you like the end product more by giving it a bit of a tweak then what is the issue?December 3, 2012
I am with you Liz, but from time to time I get comments telling me that I shouldn't edit photos, that I should use images straight from the camera, which astounds me, only since the advent of digital has it become a problem to digitally enhance your images. I won't stop doing it, I love it, and it is one part of the process. ThanksDecember 5, 2012
I like it when you go off on a bit of a rant, Leanne. It's a very strange idea that Photography Is Truth, any more than painting or other representational arts. Assuming absolutely nothing is done to the image, the photographer is already editing the photo by choosing a subject and framing it in a particular way.December 3, 2012
That's good to hear Poet, I try not to do it too often, but sometimes I get a little fed up. That is so true what you have said, you can change an image dramatically through composition. Well said,thanks.December 5, 2012
There's nothing wrong with tweaking. There's also nothing wrong with outright manipulation. As you say, both have been done for years. The problems arise when people aren't honest about what they've done – if there's nothing wrong with it, why lie about it?! JUst about every photo can be improved with a tweak – and if you shoot RAW you have to as you're only doing what the manufacturers would have done in camera.
By the way, the tweaking you've done has improved an already good photo :)December 3, 2012
Thanks Noeline, I hope everyone knows that I do it a lot, nearly every photo on this blog has had some adjustments made, some small, some more than others, and some a lot. Love what you have said, and thanks again.December 5, 2012
Ansel Adams used to spend up to 6 weeks getting the perfect print of an image, surrounded by a circle of assistants who noted every move of the dodging paddle. Of course photos should be manipulated, though I have very strong feelings about the boundaries of fidelity and taste. To argue otherwise is both ignorant and silly.December 3, 2012
I love hearing what he used to do, it is really interesting. I think you are right about that second part, totally. Thank you.December 5, 2012
hutchphotography2020 #
Great tutorial. Ansel Adams said, You don't take a photograph, you make a photograph.December 3, 2012
Thanks Hutch, that is a great quote. I like it a lot.December 5, 2012
You know I couldn't agree with you more…I see nothing wrong and do not consider it cheating when a good photo is made great!!! It is all a matter of taste and how the photographer envisions the end result, nothing more. Your tweaking has made a good photo great…as it should be. Photos and the finished product is a very personal thing…the old saying goes something like this…"we can please everyone so we might as well please ourselves".
You should be very proud…
CheersDecember 3, 2012
Thank you Heather, I love your quote, that is brilliant, and I totally agree with you. I do really like where my work is going, thanks again.December 5, 2012
Thank you Scott, it was a lot fun getting them.December 5, 2012
The reworked image is certainly cleaner, crispy clear. Tweak to your heart's delight Leanne! Great job as always.December 4, 2012
I will John, thank you.December 5, 2012
Hi Leanne, Your tweaking did make a difference – for the better. You made a very good point, that I imagine that professional photographers understand. Images are tweaked, and have been for years. Thanks for the referral on your site. :)December 4, 2012
Thank you Marsha, it is hard to get people to understand this, and thought a demonstration was worth it. You're welcome. I know I haven't really played by the rules properly, but it is hard.December 5, 2012
I think we make our own rules sometimes!!! You are the expert as far as processing goes. I have learned a lot watching you – if nothing else, I experiment more. Last night I spent hours on the pictures I sent in to be published in our local magazine. I still couldn't decide which was better. I found the groves of local fruit trees pictures I was looking for, so I sent in 4 of them as well. I think they turned out ok. I hope so!December 6, 2012
That is wonderful Marsha, love to hear that sort of thing.December 9, 2012
Another great tutorial Leanne. Seriously…. LOL… one day I'm going to MAKE time to try out some of your great ideas! Thanks for stopping by my blog… as you can see, I haven't started with trying to manipulate or improve them any… :(December 4, 2012
Haha Keli, yes you will one day, thank you too. :)December 5, 2012
Every camera has algorithms used to "process" the image it captures, even when shooting RAW.
I purposefully minimize all the automatic adjustments in my camera so that I can then go in and essentially "develop" the image to my liking.
If one shoots JPGs, a lot of that process is taken away from them. And if they say images should not be "edited", they should take the same photo with multiple cameras. Each have their own process for getting at the "final" image.
That was also true for film, and developers.
Today, one cannot look at images from professional photographers (magazines, billboards, books, and on-line) without seeing the result of extensive manipulation of not only color, hues, highlights, and shadows, but also altering of shapes, geometry, and perspective, all with one aim . . . to make the photograph visually appealing and attention-getting.
I suppose one can argue that should not happen . . . but then, one could argue we should not comb our hair, shave, or even dress, as all those are designed to alter our appearance and how we present ourselves to the world.December 4, 2012
Wow, what a great come back disperser, I love it, I think you are spot on with many of your points, and I love that last one. Thank you.December 5, 2012
The photography associated with social documentary and photo journalism is expected to be truthful, though that can depend on your viewpoint both literally and metaphorically, because the truth is often about the whole context and photography can rarely show that in a single frame. Even this type of photography is frequently edited both before the event by the photographer (see Walker Evans) who can move things and people around (simply being there can effect how situations evolve) and after the event by post processing.
But you are totally correct in saying that photographers have always edited their images. See the fine monograph by Mark Haworth-Booth, Camille Silvy, 'River Scene, France', about how Silvy put together his widely admired 1858 photograph.
Indeed, in the 1850s photographers were doing combination prints using numerous plates….how skilled is that ….. see the work of Oscar Rejlander (he used 32 negatives to create 'The Two Ways of Life' in 1857), so it's clear beyond doubt that the manipulation of images has been a facet of photography from the earliest days.
As you hint at Leanne, in your interesting post, all the basic editing tools that we utilise in Photoshop come down to us as a result of the techniques that were established in the dark room many years ago. More importantly, you stress that, like painters, we strive to present our pictures as well as we can, and edit them to achieve this. To do this effectively requires good judgement, skill and a discerning eye.
Hopefully we are getting to a turning point about editing and manipulation where people are sophisticated enough to see the value of self expression and creativity in photography and are able to discern where the photographer is being creative with the truth, whatever that is.
Finally, to pick up what others have said. The camera does not see as we do and so we employ techniques like HDR to overcome that.
Keep up the good work Leanne.December 4, 2012
Thank you John, I love what you have said, I can't wait to check out those photographers and their work. Sounds incredible. I love your last statement, so true.December 5, 2012
I try to stay out of too much editing and keeping the images quite clean, but I think Post-processing (as this is) is a natural part for the most professional photographers. On the other hand, a great image is almost always a great image, either way. :)December 4, 2012
That is so true, and the image is the important thing, if it looks good then it doesn't matter how it got that way. Thank you :)December 5, 2012
First I'll say that I am flattered you included a link to Enmanscamera. I appreciate that.
Film was a rather unforgiving medium and we struggled with its, many times, inconsistent results. Making two prints the same was a chore and I surely don't add warm memories to those long hours spent in dimly lit rooms to produce only a few prints. No one ever used the word "cheating" when they looked at a photograph altered and optimized in the lab in those days.
In my opinion cameras don't really produce pictures in the sense they once did, now cameras produce data files that depending on how well they are first captured on the sensor and then post produced with some software might make pleasing final images.
I liked your tutorial and will be staying tuned for more….well done.December 4, 2012
It was a pleasure, I hope people enjoyed the post as much as I did.
I'm with you about the darkroom, I found it frustrating and boring, it took so long to get a print, and then you would do all that work, stick in the chemicals to find that it didn't work and you would have to do it again. I think you are right about cameras today, they are good, but you are always going to have to work on them.
Thank you enmanscameraDecember 5, 2012
Tweaking is all in the name of art. To think that when the impressionists began painting, their work was seen as inferior. Surely it all comes down to what we, the viewers, feel when we look at a creative piece – whether it is a painting, a photograph, or a piece of writing.December 4, 2012
That is true Colline, they had a hard time getting their work accepted. I agree with you, if it is a good image, does it matter how you got it? Thank you.December 5, 2012

Thank you Marie, that is such a lovely thing to say.December 5, 2012
Great shot, and a really interesting tutorial. I agree with gardenfreshtomatoes!December 4, 2012
Thank you Richard, that means a lot.December 5, 2012
Adams worked on Moonrise Over Hernandez for years. There are at least three different prints of that image all with the same title since they were the same photograph and they all look very different depending on the work he did in the darkroom. All were offered for sale so they were not test prints. This is all to say that without manipulation, photography as we know it would not exist.
It would lose most of its richness.
Heck, the great painters reworked their images many times and no one said they were cheating…December 4, 2012
Well said, I love the story about Adams, he was a master manipulator. Thank you so much.December 5, 2012
Art in its many guises is the ability to portray a thought, emotion, story, moment of time, colour, shape or whatever. Photography is an art form. Digital photography is an infinitely adjustable art form. The true beauty of art is that everybody sees it differently. There is no right or wrong way to react, therefore there surely is no right or wrong way to create. Digital retouching is no more cheating than using a brush, or palette knife instead of throwing paint at a canvas and seeing what it does for itself.
Long live the ability to create and therefore re-create! Nothing I produce is ever the same as before. Even every copy of my art I produce for a client, is naturally, subtly different to someone else's copy. Not necessarily because I manipulate it, but because of the variables in the production process. And I'm glad of that because I create it for them and that difference makes it uniquely theirs.December 4, 2012
Here here, I think you are so right, it is an art and why shouldn't it be considered that. I love what you have said, so many have said some really inspirational things, it has been wonderful, thank you so much.December 5, 2012
the final image is way better with a load more 'punch' – I don't know how much is the levels and curves adjustment and how much is sharpening, but either way – it shows how much more you can do with an image with just a little attention in post.December 4, 2012
I think it is all of them Charlie, they all contribute to the final image. That is true, you just need to do a little sometimes. Thank you.December 5, 2012
I nominated you for the "Blog of the Year 2012" award. Please go to Teacher as Transformer at this link http://ivonprefontaine.com/2012/12/04/blog-of-the-year-2012/ for information. Congratulations!December 4, 2012
Thank you so much for the nomination, I left you a comment on your blog.December 5, 2012
You are so welcome Leanne.December 6, 2012
When I read that person's remark, it made me extremely angry, Leanne…they are of a mind to be greatly satisfied with 'mediocrity', thinking it's the best they can achieve! Hogwash!!! They are merely afraid to challenge themselves by getting up off their dead bums and doing something exceptional for once in their lives…and I've known many people exactly like them.
No matter which camera one uses, it will NOT 'take' the perfect shot…adjustments have always been made. I could not do what I do now when I was back in the darkroom developing and printing B/Ws, burning and dodging, touch-up 'spotting' forever. My photography (ART!) was good back then…it is supremely better now (if not GREAT at times)!!!
Too bad that person is satisfied and smugly living in their own little very BEIGE world…but good on us, for seeking more and more knowledge of our craft!!!
That's my rant…and anyone who does not care for it can just click off!December 4, 2012
It made me angry too, and I thought about doing nothing, but I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I thought a post would be the way to say what I thought. It has been interesting that no one has disagreed with me, not what I expected.
I totally agree, how can a camera see the same as your eyes do. I love what you have said about the darkroom.
I love your rant, thank you, it is so nice to see that I am not the only one to rant from time to time.December 5, 2012
thanks for sharing this valuable information :)December 4, 2012
You are very welcome melgallegosDecember 5, 2012
I feel so too! Sometimes I have a photo that I think is quite fine but then I do a bit of subtle editing I'm always glad I did!December 4, 2012
I love it that it does happen, I like the idea that images can keep getting better. Thank you ayoliag.December 5, 2012
Definitely not cheating! Adding elements? Probably. Taking elements away? Maybe. (But I don't think so, if you're going for a nice aesthetic and there's something distracting in the photo–even something like a speck of dust.) Adjusting levels and contrast? Absolutely not.
I really think the "purists" are the ones without a basic understanding of what a darkroom is and the history of analog photo editing throughout history. As you mentioned, Ansel Adams did a lot of darkroom work to achieve those masterful landscapes of his. I doubt anyone would accuse him of "cheating." I was reading about this debate in another forum a short while ago, and it confounds me to think that there's supposedly no place for post-processing in the minds of many.
HDR is somewhere in the middle, since it combines more than one image, but as long as it's just being used to capture closer to what the eye actually sees, I don't even consider that "cheating." We're just striving to hone our craft and make pleasing images. And as you and I both know, this is a labor of love that requires far more from us than just composing a nice image in camera!
BTW, I agree with the adjustments you made. My first thought was to adjust the levels for the foreground to make it not quite as bright, and that's exactly what you did! I hope that's a sign of "great minds think alike"!December 4, 2012
Thanks for a fascinating post. Absolutely agree that digital editing is fair game – in fact essential (to my work at least). There is no such thing as a 'pure' image – editing software is part of the photographer's toolbox!December 5, 2012
Thank you Graham, it really is part of the toolbox, can't believe people think they don't need it.December 5, 2012
It astounds me as well SilverStarling, I think you are right, many people who have never been in a darkroom have absolutely no idea how much manipulation went on in there. It is something that seems to be a new idea, that shouldn't manipulate photos, almost like how people were when digital started, it wasn't really photography. I think editing is an important part of taking photos, I won't stop, and those Luddites will have to go somewhere else.
Thank you so much for your support. Glad you liked my tweaking.December 5, 2012
Wow, the difference is amazing. The new photo is so much more vibrant.December 5, 2012
Thank you Carol, I love that word vibrant.December 5, 2012
oh wow!! thanks for sharing these tips! There is quite a fair bit of difference between the before and after.
I've always been so lazy to edit my images. i'm gonna save these tips and give editing a go when I post my next set of travel pics!December 6, 2012
Once you get the hang of it, it is pretty easy, I can do a lot of quick edits like this in an hour. It is good to do. ThanksDecember 9, 2012
I'm only just learning the art of the tweak – I use Lightroom, primarily. I don't think it is cheating at all. If it is, then what is the point of shooting in RAW format, if you can't play around with settings and enhance your images.
The only photos I leave alone are those I take with Hipstamatic, it's all part of the fun seeing how they turn out!December 6, 2012
Thank you Lu, glad you like doing it. That is so true.December 9, 2012

Bad news for Baylor Bears fans-the team's high-powered offense wasn't powerful enough to beat Central Florida in the Fiesta Bowl.
This one will be a hard-hitting old school affair as two of the nation's top defenses square off.
All eyes will be on the nation's top-ranked offense as both teams make their first-ever BCS appearances.
Although Alabama won't be playing for a third consecutive national championship, the Crimson Tide can still go out with a big win as two of college football's most storied programs face off in New Orleans.
While the first week of college bowl games may not have featured college football's biggest names, the games certainly didn't lack for excitement and late-game drama. Here are some of the highlights from this week in college football.
College football's bowl season kicks into high gear with a slew of big-time games this week. Here is what to watch for as the season comes into the home stretch. We will have separate previews of all the BCS games posted soon, but in the meantime, here are the highlights of all the other remaining college bowl games this week.
It's the final year of the BCS as we know it, and the unlikely matchup of Florida State and Auburn in the BCS National Championship highlights this year's slate of college bowl games. There are some good matchups, and Texas teams getting bids including Texas Tech, Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M. Here is the complete viewing schedule.
It was the most exciting Iron Bowl in history. It was arguably the wildest ending to a college game ever. And Auburn's last-second upset of No. 1 Alabama was just one of the highlights. Here are some things we learned this week in college football.

Step 1: Grind spices
4 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
0.5 tsp salt
1 tsp white sugar
0.25 freshly ground black pepper
0.5 tsp crushed chili peppers
0.5 tsp cayene pepper
Change up the ingredients to suit your tastes or make double to handle more fish filets. The amount above will cover about 4 large filets. If you keep the ratio of paprika to any other individual spice at 4:1 it will work great.
Crush and mash all the spices together with a motor and pestle. This increases the surface area of the spices and helps release more flavor, but isn't required for success. Mash the spices until they look like the image.
Step 4: Heat up oil
Once they are cooking, flip the filets only once and try not move them around the pan too much. You want the spice to get cooked onto the fish and stay put.

As a 20-1 Favorite Cormier Unhappy With Disrespectful Odds | MMA NEWS
"It's very unfair. It's unfair to him and it's disrespectful to Dion because of all that he's done in his career. And it's a little, it's kind of unfair, there's a lot of pressure that comes with that. Because I can go on not even thinking about it, but at some point someone's going to bring it to my attention and it's somewhat unfair both ways. But I think more than anything it's disrespectful to him and everything he's achieved in his career so far."
The Strikeforce Heavyweight GP champion, Daniel Cormier, tells MMA Fight Corner that he is disgusted with how odds-makers have pegged his opponent as a historical underdog.
7 Responses to "As a 20-1 Favorite Cormier Unhappy With Disrespectful Odds | MMA NEWS"
I've never seen odds like that in my favor!
Yeah yeah he says all that but i bet when he first saw the betting odds, he got a good laugh.
Class act. Wish more people in sports were like this.
Child, please.
Cormier and his boys had their own betting odds on how big the spread would be. Daniel, himself, had 30-1 odds the line would be anything closer than 15-1.
It's like Looper taking place in the Matrix. Figure it out.
kinda ironic that this article just mentions him as 'opponent'
What's disrespectful is that you don't even mention his "opponents" full name once in the article.

Red Quinn Bistro Clock 1 1
Cute clock We were looking for a clock to put in our kitchen and this clock was exactly what we were looking for. It has a nice vintage look and also has that Parisian feel we like. It was perfect for our decor. It seems very sturdy and works perfectly. The appearance of the clock matches that of the photos on the website. Very happy with it. February 10, 2014

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Acronyms become buzzwords
so quickly in our blog-driven society that it sometimes takes time for the citizenry to catch up. When I first started hearing the term "FUD," I kept waiting for someone to explain what it meant. I finally had to do a web search to get a definition. As you probably know by now, FUD means "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt," and it refers to the tactics used by proprietary software vendors such as Microsoft to foment paranoia about Open Source. The term FUD is truly at the zenith of its popularity now. I see it almost every day. Even big companies like IBM and Novell use the word to rally their troops.

The track between the lakes, the Circuit d'Interlagos in Sao Paulo, Brazil, yet again served up a fitting finale to the Formula One season. There were all kinds of ways for the two Driver's Championship contenders – Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull and Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari – to win and lose during the 71 laps of the Brazilian Grand Prix, and that was before the rain, before the yellow flags and safety car periods, and before the accidents.

First things first: I am so sorry I haven't been posting regularly! Apart from work and preparing to move into my new apartment later this month, I was sick for the entire week. It was nothing serious, just a sore throat and nasal congestion. I still have a cough and a runny nose, but I am back to blogging, which is great, because I definitely missed blogging!
Remember how I created my 101 in 1001 list? Well, one of the goals on my list was to run a 5K. Disclaimer: I'm not the biggest gym rat and the last time I ran anything close to a 5K was in middle school. So why would I, the most nonathletic human being I know, decide to run a 5K? Well, because I need to focus on something that's not blogging or school and maybe this can be the start of my professional running career. Or not.
Of course, I have my doubts about training for and running a 5K. First, when do I want to run my 5K? It seems as though I'm busy year round! Instead of running a 5K, I could use that time to study for my exams or sleep! For how long should I train? A 5K is about 3.1 miles, which is not far at all, but for any type of race, you must train properly. I don't expect to be first in my very first 5K, but I definitely do not want to be last! Should I train for a few weeks, or should I train for a few months? Then, should I follow a training plan, or should I completely play it by ear and do I what think is best? I already know the answer to this one: I am following a training plan, specifically one created by the Mayo Clinic. There are some people who can train for races by themselves because they have enough knowledge about fitness and athletic training to do so. However, I need discipline; if I didn't have a schedule, trust me, I would never get anything done!
I am hoping to run my 5K sometime in the spring! I am going to start my training in September after I move in, start classes and figure out my new schedule for the semester! Luckily for me, I only have classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (although on Friday I have my labs), plus I start class at 9:15 every day! This will give me enough time to train and mentally prepare myself for my big race!

North Carolina losing Barnes, Henson and Marshall to NBA
Mar 29, 2012, 3:31 PM EDT
On the same day that Kendall Marshall won the Cousy Award he and two teammates have decided that they'll be turning pro.
As announced by North Carolina, Marshall, wing Harrison Barnes and power forward John Henson will all enter the 2012 NBA Draft.
This means that the Tar Heels will have to replace four starters going into next season.
Senior Tyler Zeller is out of eligibility, and like him all three are expected to be first round draft picks.
"It's a great day for three youngsters who are taking another step toward their ultimate goal of playing professional basketball," says head coach Roy Williams. "On a very small stage, it's a sad day for me because I won't get to coach them again. All Tar Heel fans will miss them greatly, as well.
"When I recruit a young man I talk to them about their ultimate goals and each of them are taking that next step toward reaching the goals they spoke to me about. I am extremely pleased for them. They have meant so much to our basketball program and theUniversity of North Carolina. I thank them for everything they have contributed to Carolina Basketball.
"I really look forward to watching Harrison, John and Kendall play in the NBA. I know theywill be very successful. They have been and will always be great Tar Heels."
Marshall, who missed the final two games of the season with a fractured right wrist, led the ACC with an average of 9.8 assists per game. According to Draft Express he's likely to slot into the bottom portion of the lottery or just outside of it.
Both Barnes and Henson are expected to be lottery picks but it remains to be seen if Barnes did any harm to his draft prospects with his play in the NCAA tournament.
Barnes was criticized by many for his play, with his struggles creating his own looks being the biggest point of contention. The need to improve in this area became even more apparent with Marshall out of the lineup.
Barnes averaged 17.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game while Henson posted 13.7 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.9 blocked shots per contest this season.
It remains to be seen what freshman forward James Michael McAdoo decides to do, but to say the least the Tar Heels will rely heavily on the trio of Reggie Bullock, P.J. Hairston and Dexter Strickland (coming off of a torn ACL) next season.
Raphielle is also the assistant editor at CollegeHoops.net and can be followed on Twitter at @raphiellej.

Barnes should have stayed after tanking in The Tourney.
Hope Marshall would stay.. But at least his replacement is on-board.
- rob0527 - Mar 29, 2012 at 4:01 PM
Barnes should have stayed, had up and down year. Henson is to skinny for nba. Marshall has potential to be good point guard at next level. I wish them all the best, but is definitely going to hurt Tar heels next year.
- blakspartan - Mar 29, 2012 at 4:24 PM
Henson is to soft, Marshall would have trouble guarding players like Derrick rose, Chris Paul, wade, and that point guard from the bucks, I forgot his name. And then he is to slow to blow pass anyone. Barnes needs to redeem himself after the last game, going into the draft after showing scouts that you can not handle the pressure of being the main guy when the game is on the line can hurt your stock
