Hello all,
I've got a gorgeous 13.2 hh pony who I love very much. I am working on retraining her, and she does have some trust issues*. I would like to try a hackamore with her, but I have very little knowledge as to whether there's any particular sizing that I need to worry about etc. I'd like to get a hackamore off of statelinetack.com as I've got a gift card there... but they may or may not have anything suitable for her. The two I'm looking at are:
I am fairly clueless as to whether either would be suitable for my pony. I know pretty well how they work, but I'm wondering if things like shank length and whether or not there's a chain under the chin will make a huge difference.
*To get into more detail: Her previous rider kept a near constant death-grip on the reins. When she started rearing in protest, she was offered for sale. I bought her and have never had difficulty with her rearing because of my natural tendency to be far softer on the reins, but she is stiff and unwilling to give on the left side in particular and she rushes the jumps because she fears that the rider will lock down on her head and hamper her ability to get over the jump.

ST. MARYS – If you've caught a local high school (musical) performance lately or attended your child's recital, chances are Fred and Marie Fritz have been behind the scenes making sure the instruments used are hitting the perfect pitch.
The St. Marys couple owns Fritz Pianos and Organs, a family business that began with Fred's father, the late Hal Fritz, and also included Fred's brother, the late Frank Fritz, who managed the business's DuBois store until his death nine years ago.
Fred said it's hard for him to imagine doing something else.
It's not just people who are being affected by increasing levels of Lyme disease—pets need to be protected, too.
Jesse Shirey, DVM, of Elk County Veterinary Clinic, said cases are appearing with increasing frequency in the animal world as well. His latest statistics show that the clinic saw 240 cases of dogs testing positive for Lyme disease from October 2011 to October 2012.
"We see a ton of Lyme disease," Shirey said. "We see a high incidence.
ST. MARYS – "It's worse than a plague," said Pete Braun of Braun's Farm in St. Marys regarding the destruction of crops caused by invading armyworms.
Braun, like many area farmers, is suffering firsthand from the devastation caused by the armyworm, or Pseudaleta unipuncta (Haworth), a native species widely distributed throughout the United States, east of the Rocky Mountains.

Layoffs, property tax increases hover over Brunswick budget talks; fate of new police station uncertain
BRUNSWICK — Residents could be paying more for less after the Town Council adopts its 2010-2011 budget.
The council learned during its annual retreat that it will be forced to consider layoffs, cuts in municipal services and a property tax increase to fill gaps created by cuts in state aid and revenue sharing.
John Eldridge, the town's finance director, said the council will confront a $1 million hole on the municipal side alone. According to Eldridge, that deficit would equate to a 3 percent property tax increase even if the council adopts a spending plan that keeps expenditures at the current level.
It also excludes the school budget, which in the past has accounted for about 65 percent of the town's total spending.
The School Department, already facing a $670,000 budget cut if Gov. John Baldacci's supplemental budget is ratified by the state Legislature, is also anticipating difficult choices due to a projected decline in state aid in the second year of the governor's already-adopted biennial budget.
The trickle-down comes from Augusta, which is facing declining revenues from sales and income taxes, with a current budget gap of $159 million.
Town officials say the pain will be felt locally, specifically layoffs for municipal employees.
"I don't think it's possible to (address the gap) without job losses," Eldridge said Monday, adding that the municipal budget woes are driven mostly by a sharp reduction in state revenue sharing. The town received $2.1 million in fiscal 2009, he said. It's slated to receive $1.2 million in fiscal 2010-2011.
"I've been here 22 years and I've never seen that kind of reduction," Eldridge said.
The grim financial outlook will mean tough choices for the School Board and council, which are likely to begin preliminary budget talks in the coming weeks.
Council Chairwoman Joanne King noted Monday that at least two councilors want no tax increase, a proposal she said would probably mean sharp cuts in the school budget – an outcome that could not only infuriate local education advocates, but also undermine the town's recovery from the 2011 closure of Brunswick Naval Air Station.
King said the quandary was illustrated during the recent election campaign.
"I had a lot of people say please don't raise my property taxes," she said. "... But we also know the strength of our school system is a reason why people are attracted to living here. It could also be our saving grace to replacing the families leaving with the military."
"I'm not sure there's a solution leading to a zero percent," she added.
The upcoming spending plan and its inherent threat of layoffs could also spell trouble for the town's quest to build a new police station.
The council has scheduled $6.65 million in its 2010-2011 Capital Improvement Program for the new station, and a council subcommittee has been reviewing potential sites.
However, King acknowledged that borrowing for the facility could be difficult politically at a time when the council is ordering layoffs.
King said that the council had put off building a new facility too many times, but added that the current budget situation "is a little different than anything we've seen before." Nonetheless, she said the council subcommittee will proceed as if the project is still moving ahead.
"We'll just have to wait and see," she said.
King added that she's hoping to involve the public in budget discussions.
"What's acceptable to cut and what isn't?" she said. "That's what we need to know."
Meanwhile, Brown said the council should makes its decision on layoffs within the next eight to 10 weeks if it wants to realize the full savings. He explained that the job cuts by early April were preferred because of severance agreements with local unions.
Brown said that department heads are reviewing staff levels in anticipation of the cuts.
"It's going to be a very challenging and gut-wrenching exercise," he said.

Venues Today Magazine, a popular trade publication for the world of sporting and entertainment arenas, has joined the many that believe the Charleston RiverDogs' new Beer Shakes are simply sensational.
They liked it so much that they've listed the unique beverage as their "Best New Menu Item" for 2013 and have honored the shakes with their "Silver Spoon Award."
"Our panel of judges voted, and Beer Shakes at Joseph R. Riley, Jr. Park were chosen as 'Best New Menu Item' for 2013," said Venues Today staff writer Jessica Boudevin. "I guess when you put two of people's favorite things together, it's bound to be a winner."
Beer Shakes, which made their debut in April, are available in three distinct flavors – Palmetto Espresso Porter Chocolate (from a local brewery), Guinness Caramel and Sweetwater 420 Strawberry.
Boudevin stated that she is working on an article about the Beer Shakes for an upcoming issue and will interview John Schumacher, the food guru for the RiverDogs and their ownership group, The Goldklang Group. Boudevin plans to expand on when the idea was first conceptualized, how Palmetto Brewery is involved and why RiverDogs fans have embraced the Beer Shakes.
"We've been very pleased with the positive response our fans have had for our Beer Shakes," said Schumacher. "We are ecstatic that we've sold more than 3,000 Beer Shakes through the first half of the season.
"We also decided to team with Advintage, a local distributor who specializes in Micro Breweries, to create Monthly Beer Shake specials," Schumacher added. "In July we are running a Banana Nut Bread Beer Shake and for August, we are using Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout and Rum Raisin Ice Cream to create a Oatmeal-Raisin Cookie Beer Shake.
"As the owner of the local craft brewery, working with our local hometown team has been fun and promoted both our brands in the local, regional and national media," said Larry Lipov of Palmetto Brewery.

In recent times I have retreated into a reflective shell, reflective of oneself and also of the broader context of
I do not write this article with any pleasure or from a delight in baiting and bashing my President. However, I do so out of great reluctance and out of a heavy heart of disillusionment. This is more grating because I was one of the few who thought that President Yar'Adua would be for Nigeria the ŌĆśscientist' who became the forger of new vocabularies and new narratives that would redescribe and thus reconstitute the people of Nigeria to the world.
The initial months tended to indicate that he would use the mantra of the ŌĆśRule of Law' to forge a new vocabulary and new narrative of progress and advancement. However, twelve months on have turned that indication into pie in the sky optimism and one fails to discern any template for action or progress. Darkness of the electricity variety still prevails and the ship of state is heading no where. We are simply fed and presented with vacillations, appeasements and mesmerisation of the complexities that power imposes on a frail administration.
An attempt would be made in this article to allow a few facts to speak for themselves to provide a more objective picture for fellow observers.
There was the Kalu saga reported on the pages of the Guardian Newspapers of 6th September 2007 that: ŌĆśJustice minister takes over Kalu's trial from EFCC'. These began the series of embarrassments where issues such as these the government sought to resolve on the pages of the Guardian, Punch or Champion Newspapers or in the presence of the Judiciary. The initial misstep seemed to indicate that the government had not incorporated into its analysis of power the question of control over its agenda and the ways in which potential issues are kept out of the public political/decision making process so that public exposure of the power is avoided.[1] Unfortunately it gave a green light to different interests, foreign and local of the lack of proper grasp the government had and the government since then has become a sort of laughing stock manipulated by different interests who perceived differences within the government decision making machinery.
Then there was the Alams issue which was reported on September 12, 2007 in the Sun Newspaper where it was stated that:
"The Federal Government has said that the former
Bayelsa State governor, Dieprieye Alamieyeiseigha was unavailable for trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal because he was yet to recover fully from his health condition."
A fact rebutted by the trial judge who was reported as responding below:
"ŌĆ"., the presiding Judge, Justice Momoh expressed surprise that a man they saw on television being given a tumultuous reception by his kinsmen was still unavailable for trial. After Mr. Salihu Aliyu, the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), who led the prosecution team to the tribunal informed the court that the ex-governor was yet to fully recover from his ailment, the tribunal members asked him if there was a romance between the prosecution and Alamieyeiseigha as they had seen him in the news media in pomp and in high spirit."
In the same report, the embarrassing trend continued with the Ibori palaver. The summary of the facts are detailed below:
The AG initially denied the Federal Government played any role only to be revealed that he was writing for the defence only to admit to the contrary when he was presented with conclusive proof. The Sun Newspaper of October 2, 2007 captured this under the headline:
"Former Governor of
This appeared innocuous enough, until we discovered, the hand behind this discharge was the learned Attorney-General. The Punch Newspapers of 4th of October 2007 confirmed that:
"The AGF's letter, which was obtained by our correspondents on Wednesday reads, "Further to your letter Ref. IFT/JAT/316533 dated 4th August, 2007 on the above subject matter, I hereby react as follows:
"That Chief James Onanefe Ibori was investigated in connection with his acts and activities whilst in office as Governor of
Delta State between 29th May, 1999 and 29th May, 2007.
That there is no record that your client, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, has been charged to any court of law in Nigeria in respect of any offence relating to money laundering or any other offences in connection with his acts and activities whilst in office as Governor of Delta State between 29th May, 1999 and 29th May, 2007.
That your client, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, has not been tried and/or convicted by any court of law in Nigeria for any offence relating to money laundering or any other offences in connection with his acts and activities whilst in office as Governor of Delta State between 29th May, 1999 and 29th May, 2007.
"That there was no request for a freezing order emanating from my office against your client pursuant to the exercise of my power under Article 3 of the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty."
It was initially plausible to attribute these faux paux to ŌĆślearning the ropes' or errors of judgment by one zealous official in government, however, similar stories have not justified this.
We were then served with the spectacle of the Transcorp/NITEL reversals and anti reversals, the NICON controversy all in the name of the ŌĆśRule of Law'
While all this was unraveling the IG with the tacit wink and nod of the President decided to show some ŌĆśteeth' and moved in on Ribadu. The papers dated 25th of December, Christmas Day of 2007 captures the drama and theatrics of this government:
"IG orders Ribadu to proceed on 1-yr course. The battle to sack the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, may have been shifted to his immediate constituency where fresh plot to ease him out of office is allegedly coming from the top hierarchy of the Nigeria Police Force."
It continued that:
"While politicians who are not comfortable with his activities are said to have been pressurising President Umaru Yar'Adua to sack the anti-corruption chief, the leadership of the police force, which is reportedly uncomfortable with his profile, is said to be spear-heading the new angle of "the war against Ribadu" project."
With the attempt to appoint a new Chair of the EFCC now underway we are now in no doubt that the IG's actions were used as a charade to ease out Ribadu. For a government's whose only hold on any achievements lies in the ŌĆśRule of Law', this is curious. I am still puzzled about the legality or otherwise of his government's actions.
We know that Mallam Ribadu was appointed at the Executive Chairman of the EFCC under the EFCC Establishment Act 2004 by the President. The relevant part of the Act states in Section 2:
"(3) The Chairman and members of the Commission other than ex-officio members shall be appointed by the President and appointment shall be subject to the confirmation of the Senate.
Section 3 goes on to state the term of office:
3: (1) The Chairman and members of the Commission other than ex-officio members shall hold office for a period of four years and may be re-appointed for a further term of four years and no more."
The term of office of the Chairman is defined by statute and It is the President of Nigeria not the Inspector General of Police who is in a position to relieve him of his functions. The basis and conditions of how such a relief may be effected is covered under the provision of the 2004 Act. However, it seems the government applied the Police Act in a way to rid itself of Ribadu.
And there was the British Airways' story which found the Foreign Minister napping.
It would seem that whilst we are preoccupied with the alleged excesses and depravities of President Obasanjo's administration, his cronies, relatives and associates, we have taken our eyes off the ball from the key question. That is where is President Yar' Adua leading? Is he a leader taking a walk with no followers? His most profound policy statement to date appears to be he would not probe President Obasanjo. A statement which at least betrays his thoughts about his predecessor for at least he accepts the premise of the question that President Obasanjo's government was corrupt.
For all of those who attempt to speak truth to power, for the teeming masses who are in the arena of sufferings, to the silent majority who wonder what the panacea is, I have nothing, no hope to offer for
"Take time to dream
It is what the future is made of.

The Nigerian state-craft is currently on auto-pilot with no defined destination.
The navigational equipments appear to be malfunctioning with no contact with the control tower.
Our President with due respects appears unprepared for the job and his aides appear to have their own ideas about where he should go. The tragedy is we are being fed with platitudes and brinkmanship whilst the craft of state is careening from crisis to crisis, disaster to disaster.
Our Pilot like Nero seems oblivious to the inferno whilst being distracted by his sychopantic advisers who assure him he's on course.
On course?????......oYO State????? Niger Delta?????..... Power HOLDING Coy Nigeria????? Electoral Frauds etc??????
On course??????? Convicted Alams appears with 'Rule of Law' President to campaign for PDP in Bayelsa????? etc, etc etc ati bebelo........
Words fail me..........

Wow, Sean,
Your commentary is very apt and better put that anything I could muster or marshal. Surely we must find a way forward out of this mess.

This is a good piece but you could have completed the picture.
The complete picture is of a corruption-infiltrated, by-election-rigging, double-speaking, tribunal-interfering, behemoth of a Government piloted by the duo of Yar'adua / Aondoakaa. Their's would be a comedy of duo if it were not that their actions pose the gravest danger to Nigeria's short-to-medium term well-being.
This is a Government that is more concerned with posturing and claiming authority over others by publicly "cutting them down to size" than it is in the interest of the commonwealth. Especially irksome and most telling was the bungling but callous way in which they went about wreaking havoc on the carefully structured and effective EFCC.
Given Ribadu's EFCC was not perfect but as anyone of experience knows, it is very, very, very difficult to build but equally just as easy to destroy. The Saraki/Ibori/ Aondoakaa sponsored Mrs Waziri will no doubt live up to expectations!

Hi my name is Audra and I am 20 years old. I am a singer/song writer/ and I play guitar. Growing up I had a really tough time in middle school and even in high school. I learned slower and since I couldn't keep up with the rest of the class I was put into smaller classrooms with less students and those classes were often called "Special ed". I didn't really fit in with the "popular crowd".
I remember walking to class I would get picked on and called stupid or dumb because I was in smaller classrooms. I would come home crying to my mom and dad everyday. I remember when I got my hair cut short everyone said that I looked like a boy and that I was ugly. I had a crush on this boy in 8th grade and he would write me notes and tell me that he liked me to but when his friends were around he would ignore me and act like I was invisible. I would try to say hi to him but him and his friends would laugh and keep walking.
There were a few girls in middle school who constantly targeted me. There was one girl who didn't know when to stop. In CCD she punched me in my face, at a block party she slammed a door in my face and my hand almost got caught in the door. In 7th grade I sang at my schools talent show, my teacher was so proud of me that she let our whole class go out to recess early. In the play ground the same girl decided it would be funny to pull my pants down in front of the whole classroom and I tripped on my pants and fell on my butt. My whole class made fun of me for the rest of the year. There are so many other stories I can share but I would fill up this whole site.
Anyway, I wrote a song about bullying called "BREAKING THROUGH" and I would love to share it with the world. I hope that you can all help me! The video has 37,699 views so far, please help me get more.

Apple now has 10 percent of all corporate cash
Moody's declares that of all the cash sloshing around in nonfinancial institutions, Apple has the largest chunk, and it's 9.5 percent more than last year.
Only this morning, I was thinking of updating my kitchen and I thought of calling Tim Cook to see if he's got any money lying around.
I'd heard that Apple had quite a lot of cash stored in pristine white vaults around the world. So perhaps he could toss a little the way of a man who couldn't remember when he'd had his last Miele.
With all the talk of share buybacks and shipping some of the cash from overseas back in beautifully designed boxes, I wasn't sure exactly how much Cupertino might be hoarding.
So I am grateful to The Wall Street Journal for stunning me into disbelief with the news that Apple now has nearly 10 percent of all the money that isn't under the control of highly moral bankers and other highly moral financial institutions.
Moody's calculation of the 1,000 companies that it constantly monitors also reveals that Apple's $147 billion is 9.5 percent more cash than it had in 2012. And it isn't even Christmas.
Corporations in general continue to pile up the reserves. Indeed, Moody's calculates that since the end of 2006, they have stored away an additional 81 percent.
Though technology companies together have amassed $515 billion, Apple has managed to be the undisputed leader in the field.
Carl Icahn tweeted on Tuesday that in a meeting with Cook, he had asked for another $150 billion buyback. Perhaps he needs a new kitchen too.
There is something extraordinary, though, that in an industry that claims to be all about the future, there seems relatively little imagination about what to do with all the money it makes.
Surely at least some of it could be put to magical, revolutionary use somewhere.

Kong Hee
|Kong Hee
|Native name
23 August 1964
|Sun Ho
Kong Hee (Chinese: 康希; pinyin: Kāng Xī; born 23 August 1964) - is the founder and senior pastor of City Harvest Church in Singapore. Kong is a Christian in the Charismatic Movement, with a philosophy of ministry that emphasises the Great Commandment, Great Commission, and Cultural Mandate.[1] He is married to pop music singer Sun Ho. On 26 June 2012, Kong Hee and 4 other senior members of the City Harvest Church were arrested by Singaporean police in connection with misuse of about $50 million in church funds,[2][3] he currently stands trial in a prosecution case led by Mavis Chionh.[4]
Early life[edit]
Kong is the fifth child of Kong Leng, a professional engineer, and Toh Poh-Eng, a diamond trader. From 1975 to 1988, Kong was a member of Marine Parade Christian Centre, an Anglican church located in eastern Singapore. He schooled at Raffles Institution (1977–1980), Raffles Junior College (1981–1982) as well as National University of Singapore, Bachelor of Science (Computer & Information Sciences) (1985–1988).
During his university years, he worked part-time for the Chapel of the Resurrection under the oversight of Anglican vicar, Reverend Dr. Canon James Wong. During that tenure, he helped Canon Wong set up a new congregation, Orchard Christian Centre. Upon university graduation in 1988, Kong worked a short stint in a local publishing house as a programmer.
In 1989, Kong was a staff evangelist with "Christ For Asia", a missions organisation in the Philippines led by Assemblies of God minister, Reverend Randy Sing. At that same time, there was an opportunity for Kong to pioneer a new church in Singapore. With the support and encouragement of some senior pastors in the city, Kong decided to relocate back to Singapore and helped set up a new congregation with 20 youths.
City Harvest Church (1989 till present)[edit]
On 7 May 1989, City Harvest Church was founded as a department (known as "Ekklesia Ministry") of Bethany Christian Centre (Assemblies of God).[5]
Since 1997, Kong is the executive director of the Festival of Praise, an annual event that brings together churches for united prayer and worship. Kong is a board member of Dr. David Yonggi Cho's Church Growth International (South Korea) and Dr. Luis Bush's Transform World (Indonesia). He and his wife Sun Ho own two companies, International Harvest, which is a provider of corporate training services and motivational courses, and a fashion company called Skin Couture. In May 2008, Kong was conferred the Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration from Hansei University in Seoul, Korea[citation needed].
City Harvest Church has an average of 23,256 attendees as of December 2010[6] with 47 affiliate "Harvest" churches, as well as 29 affiliate churches and 6 Bible schools in Asia, namely, in Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan. Another 18 affiliate churches in the East and West Malaysia are under the Malaysian Harvest Fellowship which Kong Hee has co-founded.[7][8][9][10]
Positions held[citation needed][edit]
- President and pastor of City Harvest Church (Singapore): 1992–present
- Executive Director, Festival of Praise (Singapore): 1997–2001, 2005–present
- President, Word of Life (Singapore): 1997–present
- Board of References, Transform World (Indonesia): 2005–present
- Committee member, National Council of Churches (Singapore): 1999–2004
- Board of Advisors, Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International (Singapore): 1996–2000
Title Ordination[citation needed][edit]
- Bethany Christian Centre (Singapore): 6 January 1991
In March 2010, a blogger identified plagiarism on Kong Hee's 'Daily Devotionals' as they were similar to writings to another publication, "The Leadership Bible" which was published 10 years ago. The copied text were published as physical copies into two books, "Renewing Your Spiritual Energy in 90 Days" without accreditation to the original authors.
Kong Hee's daily devotionals were originally compiled from his personal reading notes and printed as supplementary reading for his members, free of charge. Some years later, due to popular demand overseas, a local publisher compiled and released foreign language translations of the devotional for sale.
Kong Hee posted a note on his website and explained that the devotion was "originally meant only for internal circulation among the members of my church. As such, there was an oversight in not quoting the sources of some portions that borrow from the writings of other Christian authors." There was also an apology for the oversight.[11][12][13]
The publisher who is also a member of City Harvest Church, acknowledged that at the time of publication, both himself and Mr Kong were aware that certain portions of the content were not original.[12][13][14] The publisher of "Renewal" has since made amendments to the soft copies to include accreditation.
City Harvest Church Trial[edit]
On 31 May 2010, the Office of the Commissioner of Charities and the Commercial Affairs Department of the Singapore Police began investigating more than 18 individuals linked to the City Harvest Church, including church founder Pastor Kong Hee and his wife, Sun Ho, after receiving complaints alleging the misuse of church funds.[15][16] The police were looking into financial transactions involving the possible falsification of accounts and criminal breach of trust amounting to millions of dollars which dated back a number of years. The authorities said that regular church activities and services for the congregation need not be disrupted during ongoing investigations, which is expected to take several months.[17][18][19]
In June 2012, Kong Hee and four other members of the church were arrested by the CAD. All five face multiple charges of criminal breach of trust, while three (not including Kong Hee) face multiple charges of falsifying accounts of the church. They were released on $500,000 bail each, and set to return to court on 25 July.[20][21] Each of the three counts of criminal breach of trust he faces has a maximum sentence of life imprisonment plus fine.[22]
On the same day as the initial arrests, the COC released a press statement detailing the results of its inquiry. It stated that there were misconduct and mismanagement in the administration of the charity. There were irregularities of at least $23 million in the charity's funds, which were used to finance Sun Ho's secular music career. There was also a concerted effort to conceal this movement of funds from stakeholders. Eight members were suspended from their duties with the charity. The eight included the five arrested, Sun Ho and two others. The COC is considering further course of action under the Charities Act.[23][24] The case was adjourned twice[25][26][27] while the judge in the case has denied an appeal by the defence, who had claimed that there is no case to answer, stating that the six had been dishonest in the use of the money.[28]
The trial is still ongoing as of September 2014[29][30][31] with the prosecution's case that Kong Hee and five other church leaders used Xtron as a "shell company" to enable the misuse of church funds.[32]

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This course is a collection of short Photoshop and Illustrator projects and creative effects that can be completed in ten minutes or less. The series is taught by computer graphics guru Deke McClelland, and presented in his signature step-by-step style. The intent is to reveal how various Photoshop and Illustrator features can be combined and leveraged in real-world examples so that they can be applied to creative projects right away.
Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland. Welcome to Deke's Techniques. This week, I'll show you an alternate method for converting an RGB image to CMYK, that retains the original luminance data. Because what we're doing is we're turning the red channel into the Cyan channel. And the green channel into the Magenta channel, and the blue channel into the Yellow channel, via a special mode known as Multichannel. Now, just so we're on the same page, I want to make sure that you understand that you only convert to CMYK when you're commercially reproducing an image.
That is, you're sending it out to a commercial print house. If you're printing it locally, to your ink jet or laser printer in your home or office, then you leave it in RGB, because those print drivers expect RGB images. If you convert to CMYK you'll just mess things up. So, with that in mind, assuming that we're all commercially reproducing our images. Here's an alternate method, for converting an RGB image to CMYK that retains the original luminance data. We're going to start things off inside this vividly colored RGB image. And I'll show you what happens when you perform a standard CMYK conversion. Converting the CMYK is the single most destructive modification you can make to an image inside Photoshop.
And that's because the color spaces are just entirely different. So rather than convert your original image, in which case you run the risk of saving over it which would be a crying shame. You want to go on to the Image menu and choose the Duplicate command, and then let's just go ahead and call this guy Standard CMYK, because that's where it will be. And I'll click OK, in order to create this duplicate file. Then we want to go up to the Edit menu and choose the Color Settings command which also has a keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Shift+K or Cmd+Shift+K on the Mac. And inside this dialog box here, assuming that you're working in the States, change the settings from North America General Purpose 2, to North America Prepress 2. If you're working in another country with a localized version of Photoshop, then select something equivalent.
But what we need is for the RGB space to be Adobe RGB 1998 and for CMYK to be some default. In the states, it's U.S Web Coated SWOP v2, which is just fine. Then turn off these pesky checkboxes down here, they'll cause you no end of grief if you leave them on. All three of them need to be off, and then click OK. Now you want to go on to the Image menu, choose Mode and choose CMYK Color. And if you're working along with me, you'll get two warnings. First of all Photoshop will ask you if you want to Flatten the Image, that is get rid of the independent layers.
Which you have to do if your image contains Adjustment Layers, because otherwise it won't function properly. So if you have Adjustment Layers, before you choose the CMYK command you want to go ahead and merge them into the Pixel Base Layers. In my case, I don't have any specialty layers that are going to cause me problems so I'll go ahead and click on the Don't Flatten button. Next Photoshop will tell you that there's another way to work. If you want to convert to a specific CMYK space, then you want Choose the Convert to Profile command from the Edit menu. In our case, that's not an issue so just go ahead and Click OK. And did you see what just happened? I'll go ahead and press Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z on a Mac.
Keep an eye on the contents of the image window, this is the original RGB image, bright, vibrant, stunning. I'll go ahead and press Ctrl Z or Cmd Z, again, to switch back to the CMYK version of the image, which is much dimmer and sort of murkier. And definitely not as vivid throughout. And, most troubling, these color swatches are totally messed up. I'll show you what I mean. I'll go ahead and switch back to the bright vibrant RGB image. And I'll select the Eyedropper Tool, which you can get by pressing the eye key and then bring up your Color panel.
And make sure that your RGB sliders are visible. And now let's go ahead and click in these bottom swatches, because they're the most indicative. If I click on the last one here, the Magenta swatch, notice that this is true RGB Magenta. That is the red and the blue values are maxed out to 255. The green value set to just 0, so there's no green in there whatsoever, because after all green and Magenta are complimentary colors. So you don't want any green in your Magenta. Now go ahead and click on this violet one right there and you can see that we've got half red, so 128 r, no green whatsoever and blue is maxed out to 255.
And that's about the brightest violet you're going to get. Now click on the blue splotch and you can see that's pure blue. No red, no green, just 255 blue, that's it. And then, finally I'll click on Cyan and you'll note that we've got R0 and green and blue both maxed out to 255. Compare that to what happened to the CMYK conversion. I'll go ahead and click on it. We need to switch from the RGB sliders to the CMYK sliders. And now I'll click inside the Magenta swatch. The Magenta value should be cranked up to 100%. Because that CMYK Magenta for you. But instead, we've only got 80% Magenta, and we've got 11% Cyan. If I click inside the violet swatch, we've just got a mess. We should have a much higher Magenta value.
Now click inside blue and that should be 100% Cyan plus 100% Magenta, it's not so we have a low saturation blue instead. And then finally Cyan that should just be Cyan ink, right? But if I click inside it, you can see that that's not what we have. We have 87% Cyan so pretty high, but then we've got 20% Yellow, where'd that come from? What we want, I'll go ahead and switch to the final version of the file that we'll be creating, is these colors right here, which are as saturated as they get. If I click in Magenta, sure enough its a 100% Magenta nothing else in there.
If I click on the purple swatch its a 100% Magenta plus 50% Cyan precise values that work here. If I'll click inside blue sure enough I've got a 100% Cyan plus a 100&% Magenta without anything else and if I click inside Cyan just a 100% ink. No other impurities whatsoever, with magenty Yellow and Black values are concerned. The thing to bear in mind is, that we will see different colors. So this is the original RGB image and this is the final version of the image that will we creating, using the Multichannel approach.
So you are getting a different effect, but that's inevitable in the world of CMYK. In any case how we go about getting this? Well, you want to switch back to your RGB colors image, you need to have a CMYK version of the image handy by the way, so to make sure you've got it. Then switch back to the RGB image, go back to the Image menu and chose Duplicate once again. And I'll call this guy, Multichannel Approach, let's say, and then, I'll click Okay. Go ahead and Zoom In. I'll go about to the image menu choose mode and choose Multichannel. Now Multichannels (UNKNOWN) mode, they just basically breaks the channels up from each other.
Now let me Escape out for a moment and switch from the Layers panel to the Channels panel. So you can see, that we've got this RGB image and then we've got the red, green and blue channels. And then we've got an extra alpha channel as well. Well, we don't need the Alpha channel, so you can go ahead and grab that guy and throw it away. In fact, you need to do so. Then, return to the Image menu, choose Mode and choose Multichannel. And what this is going to do is just split up the channels into a document that does not have a composite image. So, we won't see an RGB image any more. We'll just see independent channels and they'll get new names.
Also notice this alert message, Flatten layers. There is no don't flatten, it's just OK or Cancel. So if you want to move forward you have to flatten your image. Click OK to do so and you'll end up with this thing that doesn't look the least bit right. And not only that, we've got a Cyan channel, we've got a Magenta channel and a Yellow. But they're the exact same channels we had a moment ago. So the red channel just became its complement Cyan, and the green channel became it's compliment Magenta. And, the blue channel became its complement, Yellow. Next, what you want to do, is add a new channel by clicking on this little page icon at the bottom of the Channels panel.
That will create a new alpha channel filled with Black. It needs, however, to be filed with white, so just go ahead and press the D key to establish the default colors. White is now the foreground color, because we're working inside an alpha channel. So press Alt+Backspace or Option+Delete on a Mac in order to fill that channel with white. Now the reason we just created this channel is because it's going to serve as our Black channel. So we've got Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and this channel Alpha 1 that will become Black. As soon as you go up to the image menu, choose Mode and choose CMYK Color.
And you're going to get that alert message about how you can specify space using the Convert to Profile command. Just go ahead and click OK, and you'll end up with this effect right there. Now, might not be everything you hoped it would be. However, let's start with the good news. Even though it looks pretty washed out, we've got great color swatches. Check it out. If I click in the Magenta swatch, it's 100% Magenta, and the CYK values are all zero. And if I click inside Cyan the other values are zero, so no color impurities whatsoever.
I'm not going to go through the other swatches, but believe me it's the same story. If I click inside Yellow, 100% Yellow. If I click inside Red, we've got 100% Magenta plus 100% Yellow. Everything's exactly the way it ought to be. The problem is the image is washed out, we want it to look like this. And so, here's what you do. I'll go ahead and switch back to the standard CMYK conversion, because now we need it in order to retrieve the contents of that Black channel. So go ahead and click on the Black channel here inside the Channels panel, and then press Ctrl+A in order to select the entire image.
And I'll zoom out a little bit so you can go ahead and see the marquee around the entire image here. And then go up to Edit menu and choose Copy Merged, or you can press Ctrl+Shift+C, Cmd+Shift+C on the Mac, in order to copy the contents of that channel across all of the layers. Now switch to your Multichannel image in progress. Click on its Black channel, and just press Ctrl+V, or Cmd+V on the Mac, which is the standard keyboard shortcut for the pace command. And then return to the CMYK composite, and you can see that's made a big difference.
So this is without that Black channel. This is the image with that channel. Notice it doesn't harm any of the color swatches at all. You may want to increase the saturation of color all the way around, because the original RGB image is highly saturated. And to do that, go to the Layers panel and drop down to the little black white circle icon at the bottom of the panel, click on it. And notice that the vibrance command is dimmed, it doesn't work in CMYK. So instead we'll use the standard Hue Saturation command.
This is going to sound a radical to but you can total get a way with it. Go ahead and take that saturation value and crank it all way to a 100%. Now it may look like we've got a few problems here, a few harsh transitions, and to get rid of those. Just go ahead and return to the Layers panel, and change the Blend mode from Normal to Color. And notice now that those colors will drop back into place, and now you can make a decision about whether you want to reduce the saturation value. In which case you double click on the layer thumbnail here, and take that value down to 80% for example. And then, hide the Properties panel, and we end up with this effect here. Now, granted, it is not, in any way, shape, or form identical to the original RGB image.
We're just not going to get these colors in a CMYK space. But it is a very interesting effect, as you can see here. That we're able to achieve by converting the image from RGB to CMYK via the Multichannel mode. Alright, so what I just got done showing you is very interesting, but it's also exceedingly dangerous. And that's because we've got way too much ink in the shadows. We've got tons of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black mixing together.
We're violating the printer's total ink limit, which means those shadows are going to smear on the page. Which is why, if you're a member of the lynda.com Online Training Library, I have a follow up movie in which I show you how to take those shadows and tone them down to make them printer safe. If you're waiting for next week's free movie, I'll show you how to take these jumping silhouettes a nd add these bright golden motion trails, or whatever they are.

Thursday, February 21, 2013
Pretoria, South Africa | South Africa's police head has appointed its top detective as the new lead investigator in the Oscar Pistorius murder case.
The decision came after it emerged the initial investigator, Hilton Botha, was facing attempted murder charges.
National Commissioner Riah Phiyega says Lt. Gen. Vinesh Moonoo will take over the investigation.
Phiyega says the Pistorius case "shall receive attention at the national level" and Moonoo will "gather a team of highly skilled and experience detectives."
She says Moonoo is the South Africa police's "top detective."
Botha's future in charge of the investigation into world-famous athlete Pistorius came into doubt after charges of attempted murder were reinstated against him in relation to a 2011 shooting incident, when he and two other police officers allegedly fired shots at a minibus.

KNOXVILLE — Prosecutors' about-face on the use of the findings of a probe into a disgraced judge's misdeeds as evidence smacks of favoritism toward the suspects in one of Knoxville's most heinous crimes, an attorney alleged Wednesday.
The Knox County District Attorney's Office agreed to allow the defendants in the January 2007 torture slayings of Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23, access to a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation file on the probe of former Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner that led to his resignation and conviction for official misconduct. The office also agreed to allow the statements in that TBI file to serve as evidence in the four defendants' bid for new trials.
Special Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood, in turn, used the file's contents to grant the quartet new trials. Now, however, prosecutors are refusing to make similar concessions in other cases handled by Baumgartner, and that has defense attorney Gregory P. Isaacs crying foul.

By Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Brian GainesPacific Partnership 2010
DILI, Timor-Leste, Aug. 12, 2010 The Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Mercy arrived here yesterday for its final Pacific Partnership 2010 mission port.
The Mercy is joined by two Australian heavy landing craft, Labuan and Tarakan.
While in Dili, Pacific Partnership 2010 will offer a variety of medical and dental civic action programs, engineering civic action programs, community service projects, and shipboard surgeries to the people of Timor-Leste.
"This is Mercy's last port for the mission, and the level of excitement from the newly embarked contingent of medical and engineering professionals is contagious," said Navy Capt. Lisa M. Franchetti, Pacific Partnership 2010 mission commander. "It's also wonderful to hear that many Timorese remember Mercy from its previous visits."
Medical civic action programs in Dili and five other districts across the country will offer basic medical care to the local population.
"We're also extending the reach of Pacific Partnership 2010 to locations beyond the immediate area of where we anchor," Franchetti said. "We are sending medical teams to Lautem, Oecussi Same, Soibada and Suai for a few days each, greatly enhancing the capabilities of the local health care infrastructure."
Engineering civic action programs in the region will focus on renovation of the Nu Laran School in Dili. The renovations will include concrete repair, building of a bathroom facility, and the renovation of six classroom buildings and a perimeter fence.
Community service projects also are scheduled throughout Pacific Partnership 2010's 13-day visit to Timor-Leste, including visits to schools and orphanages, a field repair to Dili stadium, and a soccer match between Mercy personnel and the a team from the country's youth and sport ministry.
Pacific Partnership 2010 is the fifth in a series of annual U.S. Pacific Fleet humanitarian and civic assistance endeavors aimed at strengthening regional partnerships among U.S. government organizations, host nations, partner nations, and international humanitarian and relief organizations. Mercy has completed the first three Pacific Partnership 2010 mission visits to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia.

Kinda sounds like you don't like the G2, which is a 2 ply head, with no muffling. You might be wanting a little dampening. Evans describes their heads http://www.evansdrumheads.com/EvDrum...?ActiveID=3591 pretty well. And the G2 falls right in the middle of the dark/bright line up. Sounds like you don't want bright.
I like the Remo Powerstroke 3 on toms (as well as quite a few other heads). Evans closest head to the P3, is the Genera. Unfortunately, Evans looks at it as a snare batter .... so sizes are limited to 10, 12, 13, 14 inches. Not so good if you want to put 'em on your 16" and 18" floors. So, the P3 might be your game. It has a built on richie ring .... so it gives your drum a "fat" sound, controls a lot of the overtones without being as muffled as the Pinstripe or Hydraulic heads.

Click here to start a quick NJ condo insurance quote.
What type of insurance do I need for a co-op or condo in NJ?
If you have purchased a condo or co-op, the bank will require insurance to protect its investment in your home. You may, however, need more insurance to cover your personal items, liability or fees that may be charged to you regarding shared areas of the building like the lobby. And condominium insurance prices will vary by the location of the property within New Jersey.
You must be protected by two separate policies to make sure your investment is safe:
(This is a point where you really need to understand your contracts as a property owner in the association, the association's duties and property, and the coverage offered by your insurance policy. Call us at 800-548-2329, or hit the "contact us" tab to talk with us about these issues. The text below gives you some basics.)
Your own insurance policy.
This provides coverage for your personal possessions, structural improvements to your apartment and additional living expenses if you are the victim of fire, theft or other disaster listed in your policy. You also get liability protection.
A "master policy" provided by the condo/co-op board.
This generally covers the common areas you share with others in your building like the roof, basement, elevator, boiler and walkways for both liability and physical damage.
To adequately insure your apartment, it is important to know what structural parts of your home are covered by the condo/co-op association and what are not. You can do this by reading your association's bylaws and/or proprietary lease. If you have questions, talk to your condo association, contact us at 1-800-548-2329, or call a real estate attorney.
Sometimes the association is responsible for insuring the individual condo or co-op units, as they were originally built, including standard fixtures. The individual owner, in this case, is only responsible for alterations to the original structure of the apartment, like remodeling the kitchen or bathtub. Sometimes this includes not only improvements you make, but those made by previous owners.
In other situations, the condo/co-op association is responsible only for insuring the bare walls, floor and ceiling. The owner must insure kitchen cabinets, built-in appliances, plumbing, wiring, bathroom fixtures etc.
Also ask us about the following additional coverages:
Unit assessment.
This reimburses you for your share of an assessment charged to all unit owners as a result of a covered loss. For instance, if there is a fire in the lobby, all the unit owners are charged the cost of repairing the loss.
Water back-up.
This insures your property for damage by the back-up of sewers or drains. Water back-up is not always included in a policy. Check to see that it is included. This can be an important insurance coverage in New Jersey and not very expensive, although prices are rising. Call us if you need help with that.
Umbrella liability.
This is an inexpensive way to get more liability protection and broader coverage than is included in a standard condo/co-op policy. It's very inexpensive compared to the coverage it supplies. Again, give us a call at 800-548-2329 if you have questions.
Flood or earthquake.
If you live in an area prone to these disasters, you will need to purchase separate flood and earthquake policies. Flood insurance is available through GBW Insurance and the National Flood Insurance Program. Check our New Jersey Flood Insurance page for information by clicking here. Both flood and earthquake insurance in New Jersey can be purchased through GBW Insurance.
Floater or endorsement.
If you own expensive jewelry, furs or collectibles, you might consider getting additional coverage since there is generally a $1,000 to $2,000 limit for theft of jewelry on a standard policy.
Also don't forget to ask about all available discounts. You can reduce your rates by raising your deductibles and by installing a smoke and fire alarm system that rings at an outside service. If you insure your unit with the same company that underwrites your building's insurance policy, you might also get an additional reduction in premiums. Gerrity, Baker, Williams (GBW Insurance) is set up to help you with New Jersey Condo insurance; please call or contact us.

Why Does The Wolf Make Such a Scene at His Partner's Home?
Never mind the convenience of having 3 Days to Kill climax with Ethan attending a party coincidentally also attended by The Wolf. We can see that happening, as Paris is such a small town. But in most spy movies, this would be the kind of out in the open space where the hero and villain get a nice expository conversation going. It'd be a scene of tension but no action. Here, though, The Wolf has his men start blasting up the place, regardless of the fact that it's a party at his partner's home (I think it's his home, or it could just a rented hall, it doesn't matter) for that person's son and maybe he wouldn't want to come off as a maniacal murderer in this place and situation in front of all these people. They're just as sloppy and conspicuous as their adversary, and it's astonishingly unbelievable.
Why Didn't The Wolf Just Kill Ethan Before?
Before the party scene Ethan chases The Albino and The Wolf into a Metro station and is nearly decapitated by the former villain while the latter keeps saying to just kill him already. We assume The Wolf just doesn't get his own hands dirty with such things as murder. And then the train arrives, The Albino is offed by Ethan and it's seemingly too late for The Wolf to get the job done because of all the people around. Yet, as it turns out, we come to see that The Wolf doesn't really care about being inconspicuous.
Why Didn't Vivi Just Do the Whole Mission Herself?
In two situations, including the final killing of the big bad of the movie, Vivi does what Ethan can not do, hit-wise. We're reminded especially in that latter scene the question we have of why Ethan is even necessary. Why couldn't she just do everything herself? Unlike Ethan, she is top shelf, and it's likely that she's a better agent when it comes to looking whatever part the job calls for. Oh, and she isn't in the middle of trying to reconcile with his wife (Connie Nielsen) and daughter nor does she have debilitating brain cancer or crippling side effects of that drug that comes in the cartoonishly large syringes.
Where Is Zoe's Boyfriend When She's Nearly Raped at the Spider Club?
Although this is never answered either, I think it's clear that there is no Karina or Katrina or whatever Zoe's lab partner's name is supposed to be. She's just making up stories in order to be with her boyfriend. Or is she just going out by herself? No, we saw that she was invited out, at least to the tattoo joint for pre-gaming fun (and maybe a tat?). Hugh (Jonas Bloquet), seems like a pretty swell chap, not the sort to get his young girlfriend in trouble by having her sneak out and go drinking at an apparently unsafe establishment where women can be easily gang raped in the men's room. And even later says he's not into raves. Plus if he had been the person Zoe went to the club with, where was he when that near-rape took place? We never find out who she was there with or why she seems so blasé about what should have been a very traumatizing experience for a girl.
Do Squatters in Paris Really Have Such Claim Over Apartments They've Taken Over?
This isn't a plot hole sort of unanswered question. I guess it's not really even an unanswered question asked by the movie. But here's the answer: it is in fact the law in France that if squatters make it past two days in a spot they've occupied then they can not be removed by the owner except through a lengthy suit. So there truly is nothing Ethan can do when he finds that his little-used Paris apartment has been taken over by a family of immigrants. The real question is why is this subplot in the movie and how does it fit? It doesn't quite, but Besson is likely just throwing it in as a local in joke to satirize the ridiculous law by showing how it affects a man who needs to use his home for interrogations — not that any good spy would in fact use his own home for such matters.
Ethan Renner Is a False Identity, Right?
Thanks to FSR's Kate Erbland for pointing out (on another site) that Costner's character's name is a combination of Ethan Hunt — Tom Cruise's role in the Mission: Impossible movies — and Jeremy Renner — who co-stars in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. That only adds to the fact that Besson (yes, I consider him the real author of the movie, definitely more than director McG) intends this partly as a spoof of those and other spy movies, including his own. But in the diegetic context of the movie it's still just so on the nose. I want to believe that it's, within the story, a secret identity chosen by the worst CIA agent of all time after he's seen that fourth M:I installment. Never mind that his wife and daughter also have the last name Renner.

The American Institute of Architecture released data last week that confirmed the fears of many U.S. architects and builders—that an indicator of future commercial construction, The Architecture Billings Index—had reached new lows. For those not in the industry, it's a sign that design activity has yet to recover from the economic downturn.
Combating our woes this week, however, is New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff, who authored an article looking not at the anxieties but instead at the triumphs of new architectural gems from across the world, from Rome's new contemporary art museum Maxxi to Frank Gehry's 76-story Beekman Tower in New York, the legend's first skyscraper.
As Ouroussoff points out, "architects can look back on the year with a sense of triumph." Click here for the full story.
