One Reason I Shoot in RAW
Quite awhile back, when I was trying to decide whether or not to shoot in RAW mode, I was warned. "Once you start shooting in RAW," the admonitions read, "you'll never go back to JPG again." And as is customary whenever I read warnings of any kind, I thought to myself, "Bah humbug. I'll be able to quit. No problem."
Nearly two years later, I shoot exclusively in RAW. I've never been big on resolve.
If you don't shoot in RAW, the whole business may seem confusing and overwhelming and intimidating. But you must believe me when I say it isn't. I'm not necessarily encouraging you to dive into the RAW world, either—it's not always necessary. Plus, RAW files are absolutely enormous, and as such, they'll sign you up for a lifetime of external hard drives.
That said, let me show you one main reason I love shooting in RAW.
It's all about the white balance.
I won't explain all the scientific intricacies of white balance, but in a nutshell, it refers to the temperature of the light in your photo. In another very simplistic and small nutshell, if a photo is overly blue/cold or overly yellow/warm, the white balance is off and is affecting the natural tone of the photo. You can read in all sorts of places why and how a camera registers the white balance of each photo, but the good news is this: if you shoot in RAW, you can adjust the white balance after the photo is taken. Let me show you an example.
I cooked dinner for myself late the other evening since Marlboro Man and my girls were out of town and my boys were sacked out in my bed. It was dark outside, so I didn't have the advantage of the natural light in my kitchen. I stepped outside of my comfort zone and used my flash/speedlight. I kept my settings on manual, though, to mimic the effect of natural light…and when I pulled up the photos on my computer (in Adobe Bridge) later, I noticed they all had a yellow cast to them.
You might not be able to tell from this screenshot, but the white balance of all of the photos is way, way too "warm." Now, I could have planned for this ahead of time by adjusting my camera's white balance setting to compensate for the low light inside my house.
But why do that when I have the RAW editor in Photoshop?
This is what the RAW editor looks like. It's sort of like the first gate my photos have to go through once I decide I want to edit them in Photoshop. And as you can see, they all have this overly warm, yellow cast.
You can't see it well, but one of the adjustments you can make in the Camera RAW editor is White Balance. The default setting is "As Shot", which means the white balance remains as the camera shot them.
So…look at what happens when I click "Auto" on the White Balance slider:
Wow—what a difference. I didn't realize quite how yellow the original was until I looked at this much-improved and more natural-looking version.
White Balance Adjustment: It's my RAW Reason #1.
RAW Reason #2 is coming up next.
I just know you're on the edge of your seat…right?
*Tap tap* This thing on?

chocolatechic On Friday, November 7 at 3:05 pm
I heart shooting in RAW.
I have tried to go back.
Actually, I had to go back when my camera was in the shop, but now that my beloved camera is home, it is RAW all the way!
erica On Friday, November 7 at 3:06 pm
I agree, I've been shooting in RAW for 3 years now and can't imagine ever going back.. it is def. all about the WB!
Leadra On Friday, November 7 at 3:06 pm
I AM on the edge of my seat… and planning to pick up an external hard drive….
Jen in TX On Friday, November 7 at 3:07 pm
I can hardly wait for more!
Renee On Friday, November 7 at 3:07 pm
Yes, I cannot wait!! I would love to learn more about RAW since just last night I was cussing my camera for producing cold, or blue-tinted shots. Guess I'm going to have to explore this RAW stuff!!!
marchelle On Friday, November 7 at 3:07 pm
I am being seduced by shooting in RAW…wait. That doesn't sound right.
Kate On Friday, November 7 at 3:07 pm
Margo– that recipe is up on her cooking site!
Amy On Friday, November 7 at 3:09 pm
I am falling off my seat in anticipation!
AmandaD On Friday, November 7 at 3:10 pm
Come to the LIGHTROOM side… you will never go back to photoshop to develop your photos. LIghtroom is an incredible program that is so much faster & more efficient to digitally develop your RAW files into JPEG. It's also an incredibly good catalog/library database. GL!
Phoo-d On Friday, November 7 at 3:13 pm
Thank you for this Ree! I've just started a food blog, and have been struggling to adjust any evening photos taken in my kitchen because they usually come out very yellow from the overhead lights. I've been considering taking the leap to RAW and an SLR, this is a very good reason to do so!
Jessica On Friday, November 7 at 3:14 pm
I'm hoping one of these days I will break out of my comfort zone and go over to the RAW side. This post has filled me with a little more confidence, so thank you!
Denise On Friday, November 7 at 3:14 pm
The photography posts are all way over my head, but that pasta dish looks so yummy.
gingela5 On Friday, November 7 at 3:18 pm
I'm getting photoshop for Christmas (just elements) and am so excited to learn all the things you can do with it!
Leila in Texas On Friday, November 7 at 3:25 pm
Thank you for the fountain of information!! I learn something new every time there is a photography post. Keep it comin' girl!!
Julie Prichard On Friday, November 7 at 3:28 pm
Ok wait….help me Rhonda…where is the RAW editor? Is it only there when I shoot in RAW?
Cara On Friday, November 7 at 3:28 pm
I recently jump to the RAW side of photography and I do find it hard to change it back to JPEG.
Renee On Friday, November 7 at 3:29 pm
Raw! Awesome. I'm learning so much…. Thanks lady!
Courtney KS On Friday, November 7 at 3:31 pm
Oh my goodness! This is good stuff! Cannot wait for part 2!!!
Thank you!!!!
Anonymous On Friday, November 7 at 3:32 pm
Hey! That's AMAZING!!!! That's one of my biggest struggles in my photos is that no matter how I shoot, I can never master white balance. Or focus. Or composition.
Just a couple of my small problems. But apparently, I can fix WB…who knew?
Bri On Friday, November 7 at 3:32 pm
We're here, we're just waiting patiently. Or something like that. So? What's the second reason?!?
sharon On Friday, November 7 at 3:35 pm
I am a raw convert too. I usually just leave my WB on cloudy and that works well for outdoor shots. But indoors, things usually need to be tweaked.
Courtney On Friday, November 7 at 3:37 pm
Funny you should post this. My brother was giving me grief while we were in Hawaii about not shooting in RAW. I told him I tried it and really couldn't tell the difference. But in your photos I do. Guess I should get RAW another shot.
Get it, shot…photo shot… Nevermind, it's Friday.
kerry On Friday, November 7 at 3:38 pm
you're so right. i can't imagine going back to shooting in jpeg.
Colleen On Friday, November 7 at 3:39 pm
I'm determined to start shooting RAW this weekend! Lol! Great minds think alike and all that rot.
LOVE this portion of the site. I Loooooove photography!!
barbara On Friday, November 7 at 3:40 pm
funny how you refer to your photo's passing thru gates, just like they're your cattle! LOL.
thanks for the great info.! i've yet to venture out into the RAW world…..one of these days!
GrizDave On Friday, November 7 at 3:44 pm
Have a Canon and only shoot in RAW too, don't have Photoshop yet, but do use Lightroom. Raw does have loads more data than JPG, which is much more useful in post processing.
Jamie On Friday, November 7 at 3:45 pm
I'm going to have to read up on my camera and figure out how to set it to shoot in RAW.
QueenShakeNBake On Friday, November 7 at 3:48 pm
I've recently started shooting strictly in RAW. I know you have Nikon–do you use their software of Adobe's for editing your pics? I use Adobe but need to learn more on batch processing…is that what you will show us next..huh…huh…huh?
Captured by Jess On Friday, November 7 at 3:51 pm
Lay it on me… I'm gonna need your second reason for sooting in RAW before making the jump.
Tracy Dodson On Friday, November 7 at 3:52 pm
Janet On Friday, November 7 at 3:53 pm
Not only do I need a better camera, I need to learn RAW & WB too?!! #14 AmandaD says LIGHTHOUSE is even better??!! I think I've just read the can of worms here, OhMy! Now to figure out how to tell my hubby, our brand new camera bites the big cheese weenie…
Janine On Friday, November 7 at 3:55 pm
I love RAW. The quality is so much better, cropping turns out better. It's just better… and takes up A LOT more disc space.
Carol On Friday, November 7 at 3:55 pm
Sis boom bah… RAW RAW RAW! Tell us more! Go, Ree!
chickadee On Friday, November 7 at 4:01 pm
huge difference. and white balance is one thing i can never get just right. but i'm not sure i'm ready to make the plunge. also, can you edit in raw using photoshop elements, which is all i have.
Marcy On Friday, November 7 at 4:08 pm
Wow. I really need to get photoshop.
Ali On Friday, November 7 at 4:17 pm
WOW! I was actually thinking about this the other day! Can't wait for part 2…
LMR On Friday, November 7 at 4:20 pm
I really appreciate the flexibility of RAW. I handle post processing for a photographer and we do everything in RAW. One thing of note – we found Bridge to give a slight yellow cast even after balancing the colors. You might want to explore Digital Photo Professional or Capture One. They are two other really versatile and helpful programs.
I LOVE your site. I might do post processing but I know very little about actually using a camera. Thanks for all the great info!
stephanie On Friday, November 7 at 4:25 pm
I hear ya sistah! I am a recent RAW convert too. Keep the advice coming!
Bush Babe On Friday, November 7 at 4:25 pm
Yes Ree… this thing IS ON!! And I am reading with bated breath (I said baited breath once on this site and got lambasted!! Harumphhh).
I am getting ready to change over to RAW but my poor old laptop and external hard drive are already labouring under the load… may need backup before I dive in headfirst.
Waiting, waiting, waiting….
Miss On Friday, November 7 at 4:26 pm
ooooo baby I like it raw
Cheryl in WI On Friday, November 7 at 4:31 pm
I usually give a quick glance at photo stuff… but I actually READ this one. I may or may not ever use this – but I appreciated the 'takeaways' from this post:
1) The white balance is about the warmness or coolness of light
2) W/ a RAW setting (vs. jpg) you can adjust the white balance post picture
3) RAW creates huge files.
Interesting factoids.
Krystyn On Friday, November 7 at 4:33 pm
Thanks for the great tutorial..I might have to go and change my camera setting. Now, I just have to remember how to open the raw files.
Dot O On Friday, November 7 at 4:41 pm
The sheer size of the files has me staying away from RAW, but I may give it a shot…get it, a shot!!
…well I thought that was sort of humorous….
I'm still learning my camera and still making so many mistakes but between you, Miz Boo, and the class I took over the summer, there is hope that I will improve!
setfreestacy On Friday, November 7 at 4:43 pm
I AM on the egde of my seat for reason #2. I just need reasons to make the switch. People gasp when I say that I still shoot in jpeg. Once, someone said "I wish I was good enough to shoot in jpeg." Makes sense to me now!!
setfreestacy On Friday, November 7 at 4:44 pm
Question: after you shoot in RAW, do you convert your files to jpegs?
Nancy On Friday, November 7 at 4:56 pm
OH, I do so want a big girl camera!!!
Puna On Friday, November 7 at 4:57 pm
I left my comment for this post on your post on the tilt of the camera. See? I'm such a goof ball that I'm afraid if I shoot in raw I would break something. Or worse.
make art every day On Friday, November 7 at 5:00 pm
yes yes! c'mon! give me more…..
Liz On Friday, November 7 at 5:00 pm
Gotta give that a shot!
Angie Ree Ree On Friday, November 7 at 5:01 pm
i am convinced about raw as well. I shot a wedding for the first time last month, used raw when it really mattered – and was frustrated when i couldn't change the jpgs like i wanted!
by the way, RAW doesn't stand for anything…so "raw" is ok too.
The only down side to shooting in raw – it takes longer to process…And then there's the whole converting to jpg and remembering to delete the raw so you don't overload your memory…
Randa Clay On Friday, November 7 at 5:07 pm
Thanks for this – very helpful. I just got a digital SLR and am shooting in RAW, but still learning!
Angie Ree Ree On Friday, November 7 at 5:07 pm
PS I use Bibble to process from raw and love it. Batch processing is a snap. http://bibblelabs.com/

I just got a new camera for my birthday 2 weeks ago and this is really REALLY great, I've been enjoying all the info so much.
Mary S On Friday, November 7 at 5:13 pm
Here's my question. How do I tell my computer and camera to do this? You can sigh and groan about my silly question, but what do I switch on the camera? The results are obviously superior.

Truly dazzling.
It's always good to see how the other side lives.

Mary M On Friday, November 7 at 5:26 pm
I've been contemplating going RAW for several months now, and with my sister's wedding coming up next month, felt ready to make the plunge. I appreciate EVERY insight you have to give! You're the best, PW!
Minnesotamom On Friday, November 7 at 5:30 pm
Makes me very glad Husband taught me nothing but RAW from the beginning. I never had a handicap to get over.
Tabitha (From Single to Married) On Friday, November 7 at 5:34 pm
that's awesome! I often want to take pictures when there's no light but don't know how to get rid of the yellow color. Here's my question though: can you do the same thing with JPEG fine or does it have to be RAW?
Tabitha @ http://www.fromsingletomarried.com
Mango in OK On Friday, November 7 at 5:37 pm
Wow what a difference. That's amazing.
SarahW On Friday, November 7 at 5:38 pm
I just shot a bunch of pics in RAW and I'm having a hard time dealing with them. I have Photoshop, and I know how to change them all to jpegs, but there were 113 pics and it was taking hours to get my laptop to process them..I got thru 30 before I quit. Any advice? Also, is the RAW editor a plugin that I need to get cuz I can't find it. Oh..and…I can't figure out how to get the Bridge to work, so far I just have tons of pic files saved in "My pictures". I'm a hot mess, help me please.
julie On Friday, November 7 at 5:42 pm
Oh I LOVE RAW!! I make myself shoot in JPEG sometimes just so I won't have to do so much editing. But I find the post processing is so spectacular it's worth it. I'm a RAW woman for sure!
MamaGeph On Friday, November 7 at 5:43 pm
Amen to the white balence. I switched for that and exposure tweaking and have never looked back. Plus, the photo quality is so much nicer.
suzanne On Friday, November 7 at 5:45 pm
Well gee, I guess now I have to find out if my camera will save files in RAW format! But first, I have to see if I can do RAW editing in Photoshop! And I don't even know what Bridge is (yet!). But I can definitely see the value of shooting in RAW from this cool tute.
life with the wisners On Friday, November 7 at 5:47 pm
and so now i'm SO HOPING you offer a giveaway for capture one or camera raw.
do you see how cute i'm smiling?
traci On Friday, November 7 at 5:50 pm
can't wait to hear reason #2. i just started shooting in raw about a week ago. i think i like it so far.
Debbie On Friday, November 7 at 5:51 pm
Thanks for this post. My house has wood paneling in the LR and all my pictures come out yellow. I may have to try this RAW thing out.
Tessa On Friday, November 7 at 5:59 pm
Right. The very edge!
Janna On Friday, November 7 at 6:18 pm
I don't shoot RAW because the files are huge. I'm running out of hard drive space as it is. And in Adobe Photoshop CS3 or later, you can open jpg files in camera raw and adjust the white balance just like RAW files. (All you have to do is open Adobe Bridge, click the photo you want to open so that it's highlighted, then do Ctrl-R to open it in RAW. You can also do it in photoshop. Click file, open as, and there's an option to select camera RAW.) So, is there another reason to shoot RAW? I'd love to know!!
Betsy G. On Friday, November 7 at 6:27 pm
That makes a heck of a lot more sense now. I'm going to have to tinker with my camera to see if I can play with white balance, since I don't have a fancy one like yours (yet). But when I have had the opportunity to shoot in raw, I had no idea what to do with it when I had it. Woot! Thanks, Ree!
Kate in OH On Friday, November 7 at 6:28 pm
I love shooting in RAW and would do it more often if I had PSCS3!
I have psCS and it doesn't have the bridge like 3.
I can only dream about having 3. it is a lovely dream.
some day..one day..
sara On Friday, November 7 at 6:29 pm
I tell you what… as soon as I win your next DSLR contest I will totally try it!
Tria On Friday, November 7 at 6:31 pm
I think tilting the camera will be as far as I get beyond my comfort zone.
Deirdre On Friday, November 7 at 6:37 pm
I've been thinking/wondering about shooting RAW… now I know I have to try it! :o) Thanks!!!
The Arthur Clan On Friday, November 7 at 7:05 pm
Thanks to you, I started shooting RAW months ago and I love it! I can't even imagine going back to jpegs now and with our external hard drive, I probably never will.
Can't wait to read Reason #2. Maybe you could add on Reasons #3-20 at the same time.
Angie in OH
Tina On Friday, November 7 at 7:12 pm
Three words!
Custom White Balance (using a gray card, balancing disc or even a sheet of paper)
Then you won't *need* to make white balance corrections!!
MamaB On Friday, November 7 at 7:17 pm
I just started experimenting with RAW. I am pleasantly surprised at how different the pictures look and a bit intimidated about handling photos in RAW. I'm unfortunately photoshop-less so I'm trying to figure out things using GIMP. I'm reviewing photoshop elements to see if its "enough" but not too much for my amateur self!
carolbrowne On Friday, November 7 at 7:28 pm
RAW is the best. While the white balance is a bonus, I also really love the clarity function. Oh…sharp, pretty photos. Yay!
jenblake On Friday, November 7 at 7:29 pm
We always shoot in RAW. We had to buy a terastation to store all our data as a result of 4 years of raw files. But the flexibility is incredible and I don't find it to be that big a deal to convert them for upload to photo sites or whatever. Some friends do find it a pain, but they must be better photographers than I am, because I almost always have to do some editing anyway.
Teslaca On Friday, November 7 at 7:33 pm
Can you only adjust the white balance if you have a photo in the RAW format in Photoshop? After seeing your before and after photos, I realized that a lot of food photos – published ones! – I've seen that just don't look quite right simply need this adjustment. Is this something exclusive to this format?
Larissa On Friday, November 7 at 7:36 pm
Thank you soooo much. It answers the questions I had for you about RAW and you can ignore that email I sent a few days ago. (cause I know you were going to pay SO much attention to it, and all.)
Nicole On Friday, November 7 at 7:44 pm
RAW is love. It took me a little bit to get used to it in Photoshop, but now I don't even consider JPEG.
Danny Douglas On Friday, November 7 at 7:49 pm
I love RAW. Thanks for the post. I do need to work on the White Balance in my images and I also do it in Adobe Bridge. Have you tried Lightroom? I've been playing with it with some great results. You can download a 30 day free trail from the wonderful folks at Adobe.
Truly On Friday, November 7 at 8:01 pm
so I recently got a new camera that shoots and RAW and while I love it, the files are HUGE! so to print the RAW pictures, i don't have photoshop how do you print or even look at them, other than through the digital photo professional software that came with my camera? any assistance is appreciated! I love your blog site!
Colleen L On Friday, November 7 at 8:01 pm
Oh heck PW – my hubby and I just bought our first DSLR – after doing the initial research – I was torn between a Nikon D60, vs a Canon Rebel XSI…. until we went to Circuit City to put our hands on actual cameras before purchasing on the web… well gosh darn it – my husband fell in love with the Nikon D90 – he just felt that it was a camera that he wouldn't outgrow anytime soon, So – I priced and priced, and priced the D90 yet again over 3 weeks on the web until abesofmaine.com had a good deal going plus a web coupon… and took the plunge. The darned thing arrived yesterday, and I'm scared witless! So many buttons and menus – yikes! Hubby however is happier than a pig in poop – he's got experience with 35 mm cameras (he's a retired high school teacher who used to also teach the yearbook class) and he's happily reading the manua – figuring out what all those buttons and menus will do for him. Me – I figure I'll be reading your tutorials for a long time to come in order to make heads or tails of this darned thing – but it will be worth it in the end because I do enjoy the process of photography – and love playing in Adobe Photoshop – used to use it years ago, but lately have been playing with Adobe Elements… got a copy of CS 3 just waiting for me to load in the computer though – just so we can graduate to RAW format. So – thanks for the tutorial today, and for all those you've written, and will write in the future – I really appreciate it – between them and perhaps a "DSLR for dummies" manual, I think I'll eventually get it!
Jennifer Seneca On Friday, November 7 at 8:11 pm
Hmmm, I am ready to see what your second reason is. Your first reason matches my own. Correct white balance eludes me often.
Christina On Friday, November 7 at 8:35 pm
That's so amazing. I have just begun taking pictures and am a totally uninformed photographer at this point. I can't remember a thing I read about it. At any rate, that is wild that the computer program can make that adjustment. It makes me want to get to know Photoshop! You inspire!
Brittany Coleman On Friday, November 7 at 8:38 pm
Wow what a huge difference – um, do you want to edit all of my wedding pictures? All of ours look yellow
bg On Friday, November 7 at 8:43 pm
Those pictures really demonstate what you are talking about. To me the first photo is much improved when you balanced the white light. But actually the cooked food looked more appetizing with the golden yellow glow.
Jenny On Friday, November 7 at 8:48 pm
another great lesson.. Thank you.
Jennifer On Friday, November 7 at 8:56 pm
I *just* started shooting in RAW last night. I'll let ya know how it goes!
Deb On Friday, November 7 at 9:03 pm
I just got my first slr, and have been trying to learn how to use it, besides using the auto settings. If I turn the dial to something like P, TV…on that side of the dial, I can shoot in raw mode…which I've heard is better, so thats my goal, but I have to learn a few things first. LOL I'm glad your taking about raw, cause I would love to know WHY I want to shoot in it. *giggle* Changing the white balance is a good reason!!
Liz On Friday, November 7 at 9:05 pm
Oooh… I'm a little afraid of Part 2, I'm afraid you'll convert me to RAW! I only recently discovered the joy of WB settings on my Nikon, which has made a big difference. But the times I forget to switch settings always frustrates me, and I don't trust Auto mode… oh dear… maybe I should add an external hard drive to my holiday wish list.
Nicole Mc On Friday, November 7 at 9:11 pm
I LOVE RAW, and have no desire to go back!!!

Daniel Sturridge's superb first-half goal was enough to give Liverpool the points as they beat Aston Villa 1-0 in the late kick-off at Villa Park on Saturday.
Sturridge dragged the ball away from Antonio Luna before rounding Brad Guzan and finding the back of the net as the Reds capitalised on a dominant start midway through the first half.
Villa came back into the game thereafter with Christian Benteke seeing a powerful shot saved by Simon Mignolet but despite heavy pressure Liverpool held on to win. Here we take an in-depth look at the game...
With Aston Villa playing their third Premier League game in eight days, Paul Lambert opted to rest Karim El Ahmadi and bring in Leandro Bacuna in midfield for his full debut. Fellow new boy Jores Okore, who came on for the injured Ciaran Clark in midweek, retained his place in the centre of defence. The formation remained 4-3-3 with Andreas Weimann and Gabriel Agbonlahor supporting Benteke from the wide positions.
Liverpool were unchanged from the side that beat Stoke 1-0 at Anfield in the opening game of the Premier League season. Brendan Rodgers lined his team up in a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation with Iago Aspas in support of Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson cutting in from the flanks. New arrival Aly Cissokho took his place on the bench for the first time.
Where it was won and lost
Lambert won his first three Premier League games up against Rodgers, albeit the first two being when the pair were managing different sides, so his initial plan came as no surprise. The general pattern has become familiar with Rodgers' sides seeking to dominate the ball and Lambert looking to cause problems on the counter-attack, such as when Villa beat Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield last season despite enjoying just 27.9 per cent of possession.
It was that same story in the early stages at Villa Park on Sunday. "Liverpool are more patient in the build-up whereas Aston Villa like to get the ball forward quicker," said Alan Smith on commentary. Indeed, Liverpool had 70 per cent of possession in the opening 12 minutes with Villa restricted to frenetic breakaways, most notably using the pace of Agbonlahor on the left to worry the visitors.
If Villa were showing too much urgency for their own good going forward, this was an important quality in defence where Okore made six tackles, clearances and blocks in the opening half an hour. Midfielder Fabian Delph managed eight in that period as Villa worked hard to deny Liverpool space in the final third.
Villa working really hard to try and ensure Liverpool don't have good possession in the final third. Big ask to do it for 90 minutes though.- Tony Barrett (@TonyBarretTimes) August 24, 2013
It was proving successful early on with Coutinho, in particular, proving wasteful in his use of the ball as he was twice dispossessed before then opting to shoot when he was well placed to pick out a team-mate. "I'm not sure it is his best position on that left-hand side," said Jamie Redknapp prior to kick-off. "He likes to get involved in the game."
Given that wastefulness in possession and the preference for playing from a central position, perhaps it was apt then that Coutinho was able to play a role in the opening goal from the middle - by not touching the ball. His dummy allowed the pass from Jose Enrique to find Sturridge who did brilliantly to evade Luna and then delay the shot by taking the ball past Guzan and stabbing home.
Sturridge thoroughly deserved his goal. His movement across the line was impressive and his relationship with Coutinho continues to blossom. A desire to play as a striker was believed to be part of the motivation behind his wish to leave Chelsea, but his time in the wide positions looks to have benefited him as a player. His intelligent link-up play makes him a natural in Rodgers' system and he thrived as Liverpool got midfielders close to him in the early stages.
8 - Daniel Sturridge has now scored eight goals in his last seven Premier League appearances. Streak.- OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) August 24, 2013
Liverpool's lead presented a problem for Villa with the away side content to pass the ball around but reluctant to commit too many bodies forward. Aware that the counter-attack remained Villa's chief weapon, Lucas Leiva ensured that Daniel Agger and Kolo Toure remained well protected. "This is systematic of how they played last season," said Jamie Redknapp at the break. "They've got to find a way of replicating what they do away from home."
By that stage, Villa had at least created some pressure with a couple of corners in the latter stages of the first half to highlight the danger they could pose. For all Liverpool's possession - 62.6 per cent during the first period - the home side actually had two more attempts on goal in that first half. Four of their six efforts came in the final five minutes before the interval.
It was a sign of what was to come. The approach may have lacked the subtlety of Liverpool's interchanges but Villa had the visitors rocking as they worked the ball into wide areas far more effectively. Although rarely comfortable in possession in the final third, Lambert's side were able to get higher up the field and eventually won eight corners after waiting 41 minutes for their first.
Liverpool became the counter-attacking side and Sturridge proved a willing runner, testing the Villa back-line down both flanks. But the forward runners of the early stages were no more and his influence waned as a result. "He's struggled to get a kick of the ball," said Smith. "He's not had the support he had in the first half."
Liverpool were being pushed back with Lowton getting considerable space down the right due to Coutinho's tendency to drift inside. That may have prompted Lambert to bring on El Ahmadi and shift midfielder Bacuna to right-back in the hope that the Dutchman could make it count. However, that change drew an instant response from Rodgers who brought on Cissokho to shore up the threat - giving Bacuna a direct opponent and moving Coutinho into the Aspas role.
In the latter stages, second balls seemed the best chance for Villa and one such opportunity fell to Agbonlahor from Toure's header under pressure from Benteke but he could only drill wide of the post. The arrival of 6'5" Nicklas Helenius aided that route of attack soon after and this led to Villa's best chance as a bouncing ball was headed through by Helenius for Benteke to force a high-quality save from Mignolet.
But with Toure and Agger making 21 clearances between them - Okore was the only other player to make more than five - Liverpool withstood the barrage and held on for the points. Their second-half efforts may have lacked the fluency of the first-half display but Rodgers is likely to be as encouraged by what he saw after the interval as before it. This was a win that showed Liverpool could win ugly as well as win pretty - all in the space of the same game.
Lambert's view
"I knew it was going to be a big ask. The three games that we've had in a short space of time were huge and nobody thought we'd get any points. We've been in the games, which is fantastic for us, and we've won one. I thought we were brilliant in the second half. The goalkeeper has had some great saves. In the second half we were very good. We pressed the game better and got a second wind. We gave it a right good go and we are a young side but I think the improvement was there for everybody to see."
Rodgers' view
"It was a terrific win for us. In the first half we had good control of the game and got our goal. In the second half we just had to defend a little deeper and obviously tactically that was the idea. If you look at their first two games, Aston Villa are brilliant on the counter-attack and if you open up too much then they've got players who can really hurt you. We just defended the half-pitch and kept the lines together to deny them chances. It was a great win for us because this will be a very difficult team to play against."

Performance poet Pretty Face goes into semi-retirement
Pretty Face is unsentimental as he takes the stage at Busboys and Poets open mic poetry night on Tuesday, his last poetry performance for the foreseeable future.
"This shit is 10 percent show, 90 percent business," he greets the audience, before informing them that his CDs are on sale.
After 25 years of writing poetry and 15 years of performing it in D.C., Pretty Face, occasionally called Jerome, is pausing poetry performance to spend more time with his rock band, Sexy People Club, "and I have to focus on my literary career," he says. With his hiatus, D.C. loses a veteran who, as the show's host Derrick Watson Brown points out, represents a part of the city that's "either ignored or slowly disappearing."
In his drooping sweater and huge pants, Face, 45, bears little resemblance to his fellow poets Tuesday night, a stylish cohort of earnest folks who rhyme about assault and Wall Street. A Canadian transplant in plaid performs a piece about being a white Indian. A guy reads a love poem that turns out to be about his motorcycle. But Face's outrageous, screaming, entertaining, and provocative story about the town drunk demanding a cocktail at a bar wins the night.
After thunderous applause, Pretty Face apologizes to the ladies in the audience. "I didn't mean to turn you on," he says. The crowd titters uncertainly.
Face's voice mesmerizes both ladies and gentlemen. "He has an unmistakable voice," writes local poet Joshua Weiner by email, "both in the language and in the power—timber, resonance, tone—of his physical voice." Weiner describes Face as part of the performance poetry scene, but distinct from it. "He is totally resistant to the vocal clichés that one hears all too often projected from inside that scene."
A Pretty Face performance from 2007:
Face, gesturing grandly with his hands, says his art tends to frighten "people who want to maintain the status quo." He rhymes about capitalism, drugs, and women in an unpredictable mix of high-minded social commentary and borderline erotica: one poem is devoted to a woman's exciting, inviting, appetizing lips, another to a woman who refuses to date drug dealers.
She don't do jail
No lovemaking through the mail
Requesting permission from the devil to see her loved one in hell
No, she don't do no ghetto stars
One whose destination be the prison bars
Fuck the temporary bankrolls, the ice, and the fancy cars
Holly Bass, a poet-in-residence with Busboys and Poets, calls Face "the Tricky of the D.C. poetry scene."
"There's something dark and disturbing, but highy compelling and memorable about what he does," she says. "He's a bit like HR from Bad Brains--talented and troubled and hard to pin down." Bass also praises his underrated singing voice.
Face fans can still enjoy his vocal stylings in Sexy People Club, a recently formed venture he describes as a "fusion of rock, funk, blues, theater, and acid jazz" as well as a "school of etiquette." Face calls his musical lyrics "more blissful than destructive."
The band is currently "getting our minds set together" and spending time in the studio; performances are yet-to-be scheduled. Face, who has self-published six chapbooks, will also be doing some writing during his poetry performance hiatus.
"It's not a ceasing of the art," Pretty Face promises. "It's a never-ending flow."

Background (Read before you advise me to not lease this horse)
I'm looking at what my plans are for college and horses. I plan on getting an equine administration major, so it isn't like I'm getting out of horses. The opposite, really.
I have two horses, ages 12 and 1 (13 and 2, in showing years). There is no possible way I can afford keeping both at the current boarding place and keep everything as is. My loose plan is to take the yearling with me (she'll be ready to train by the time I leave...I'm currently a junior in high school) and board her off campus.
I'm planning on leasing out the 12 year old. I do not want to sell him.
I know it will narrow my market, but I'm going to be picky on leasers.
How do people charge for leasing? Do people generally charge leasers just the upkeep fees (shoes, vetting, etc.), or is there typically an extra charge just as a lease fee? If I were to say, "This horse is available for free lease," would people generally assume it is just the upkeep fee without extra charge, or literally I pay for everything?
Obviously everything is negotiable by contract, but I'd like to see what the terms usually are and the best way to do it.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the R4, I never had one. If the site you're buying from looks trustful, then I'd say go for it. When you pay cheap, you usually increase the chance of getting something cheap.
Are you not allowed to order from other sites, do they not ship to Serbia?
Wow, I had a friend that was part Serbian from Canada.

Homemade instruments fashioned from household items by a pioneering Nevada family will be on display through October at the Nevada Historical Society.
"The Ambrose family was one of founding families of Empire, Nevada," said Sheryln Hayes Zorn of the Nevada Historical Society said. "Nicholas 'Dutch Nic' Ambrose helped create the town."
Empire, also called New Empire City, was a small community east of Carson City that developed after the 1859 discovery of gold and silver in nearby Virginia City. Empire mills along the Carson River processed the ore from Virginia City's Comstock Lode, according to a post in the Backyard Traveler blog by former Nevada Magazine publisher Rich Moreno. The mines eventually played out, and by the turn of the century, most of the town's residents had left.
But some stories — and artifacts — remain.
Nicholas Ambrose's son, Charles, and his family were traveling musicians who performed in Nevada and California. In the early 1920s, Nicholas and Charles donated five of the family's musical instruments — a zither, a xylophone, a homemade washtub base, an oilcan 'cello' instrument and a banjo made from a Seth Thomas clock —to the Nevada Historical Society, Hayes Zorn said.
Visitors can view the instruments through October at the historical society, 1650 N. Virginia St. on the University of Nevada, Reno, campus. The historical society is open Wednesday through Saturday; for more on exhibits and programs at the historical society, click here.

SCHENECTADY – Police have identified a man shot and killed by police Thursday on Balltown Road.
Julio Colon, 40, was shot by police after they responded to a domestic dispute.
Police say Colon had a knife to his roommate's throat and ignored officers calls to stop.
After Sgt. Darryl Mallard fired once, Colon lunged at officers. Colon was shot an additional two times.
Colon was taken to the hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries.
Police say this was a justified shooting.

If you're riding a bike and get doored, it sucks no matter what. But what if, like Stephen Mann, you get doored by a cop? Judging from Mann's account, it's even worse than getting hit by your run-of-the-mill inconsiderate driver.
Oregon Manifest is a challenge, sponsored in part by Levi's, to bike designers and constructors to build "The Ultimate Modern Utility Bike." The bike must have features like built-in anti-theft devices, fenders, lighting, load-carrying capability, and kickstand. Bikes entered into the contest will be tested on a 50 mile course that covers city and dirt roads, asphalt, gravel, hills, and stairs. The winner receives a $3,000 prize.
The complicated weave of the Ajiro bike would be work-intensive to achieve through conventional means -- it takes a lot of energy to bend bamboo stalks into shape. So instead, design student Alexander Vittouris tensioned the bamboo over a mold as it grew, then harvested a completed bike frame.

Where should you take your next car-free getaway? These six cities may not boast mass transit systems like New York's, but they do have what it takes to make discovering their best features an easy, fun, and affordable experience without a car.
When you're broke and scared and used to not being in charge of your own life, regaining autonomy is a step-by-step process. Getting on a bike can help with all that.
We asked you for your best and worst commuting stories. One lucky fan who responded got a gift card for $500 to her local bike shop. But why stop there? A lot of the tales were so good, we just had to share. So here are a few choice anecdotes from the world of bike commuting. Read on and ride on!
This is not even the first time that someone in New York City has compared cyclists to terrorists, but it might be the dumbest: New York's CBS 2 is concerned that bike lanes will facilitate acts of terror. A Second Avenue bike lane is next to the Israeli consulate, leaving many wondering what would happen if a man on a bike were a terrorist.

Newegg DIY KIT
For my grandmother, I'm building it for her, the I3 kit with a 20" monitor and windows 7 home premium 64bit.
She's moving up from an old system I built 7 years ago.
I'll be setting it up this week for her, but I'm wondering about the resolution. I bought a geforce210.

Re: Newegg DIY KIT
When building a PC for my parents, I looked for the largest screen with the lowest resolution. If your grandmother has issues seeing, you may want to do the same.
I found a monitor at TigerDirect for my folks that was 23" and it's max res was something like 1366x768. They have really liked it so far.
I believe it is this monitor: Link

Things I liked:nothing about it is good at all... nothing
Things I would have changed:everything. they should just really get rid of this gun. its really bad.
What others should know: the accuracy is very bad. when you shoot the pellet goes up or no where. and if it even shoots it will go slow. DONT BUY THIS GUN! save your money and buy a better airgun!
Things I liked:Mine is not very accurate and after a good number of shots stopped picking up bb's. I now use it for a single shot pellet pistole. Shove a pellet down the barrel, backwards, with a push rod and it actually hits. It has more power than I thought it would, but still only enough for plinking.
Things I would have changed:Needs adjustible sights if you are to hit anything. I altered mine and it helped some.
What others should know:You get what you pay for. Still I've shot this thing 1,000's of times and it still shoots. And it has shot through a soda can full of water at close range, so it does have some power.
Things I liked:Nothing Everything sucks. It has no power at all will shoot bbs but really slow with no power u can follow then with your eye. Pellets will get stuck on the barrel 4 out of 5 and when u get lucky and the pellet goes out it's like a spit from a baby. won't even make a hole on a soda can.
Things I would have changed:power and accuracy. no accuracy because of the huge recoil. the spring mechanism charger weights to much so when u shoot the gun goes upward and it doesn't even have power for such a huge recoil which is the most amusing thing.
What others should know:Buy it if u want to shoot at a maximun distance of 6ft and at a 1foot target. NO accuracy and no power. pyramidair service is the best as always they ship really fast and have great customer service.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent little machine for office. NB check around for best price,
Comical Engineer "comicaleng" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acer Revo RL80 Nettop PC (Intel Core i3 1.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 750GB HDD, WLAN, Integrated Graphics, Free Dos) (Personal Computers)
This is a tidy little machine which can be fitted to the back of a monitor using the VESA fixings included which also doubles as a stand. Screws are supplied.
Good points:
* Cheap
* Small (tiny!)
* Decent hard disc size (750GB)
* 4GB of RAM is sufficient for most purposes
* Very quiet
* Runs very cool
* Seems well built
* 2x USB3 sockets & 4x USB2
* Built in wi-fi
* Card reader
* Bluetooth
Bad points:
* Limited expansion capability
* Intel Celeron not the quickest processor
* Only supplied with FreeDOS - need to get an operating system installed
* No CD/DVD drive with this model
* No keyboard or mouse supplied (buy a Cherry stream XT & Logitech mouse!)
If you want a compact machine to use for general home / office work and web surfing then this is brilliant. Easy to mount behind a monitor if you have limited space available. It is also capable of being used to watch videos. I have installed Linux Kubuntu on mine (free download) and it's excellent as a home office machine. Will, however, work perfectly with XP, Win7 or Win8.
Linux based operating systems are easily installed from a memory stick.
Please note that with a 1.5Mhz Core i3 processor this is NOT a gaming machine! It will play basic games but don't expect it to be much good with processor intensive high-power graphics games.
Check around for best value, especially without the OS. Note that there are several variants of this model and it pays to check the spec and price!

Badhsala unveiled
Following the success he garnered for the critically-acclaimed Dasdhunga, director Manoj Pandit is now back with Badhsala, his newest project. The first look for the film took place on Monday at the Mandala Theatre in Anamnagar, marking the World Human Rights Day, in an event that was attended by the cast and crew.
"We started work on the film about a year ago, and wrapped up shooting on time," Pandit said. "All that's left to do now is to hope audiences like it as much as we do." The director added that he had become so emotionally invested in the kind of dark, intense drama the story is comprised of that it consumed him completely for a long time. "I'd go home and just sit there repeating the dialogues out loud, and my wife would give me this strange look as if to say she thought I'd lost my mind," he laughed.
Badhsala, produced by Mohan Dotel, is based on the real-life stories of victims of various human rights violations. And at Mandala, the lead actors—Anup Baral, Saugat Malla, Dayahang Rai, Arpan Thapa and Khagendra Lamichchane—dramatised a scene from the film, as a little preview for guests. The poster for the project was also launched on the occasion by Kedar Nath Upadhyay, chairman of the National Human Rights Commission of Nepal.
Sarita Giri and Samuna KC portray the female leads and both described the shooting as a revelatory process. "There's a lot of realism in the film, which will probably show in the final result," Giri said. "The violence, the beatings, we didn't fake any of that."
The film is currently slated for a March 8, 2013 release

The City of College Station is continuing to figure how much it will cost to repair the city's conference center and has so far re-booked more than 100 events.
On Friday the building was closed indefinitely after a structural engineer found dangerous conditions including concerns the roof could collapse on the original structure built in the 1940's.
The facility is also not the money maker some would expect.
For fiscal year 2011 the conference center brought in around $150,000 in revenue while it cost more than $300,000 to operate the building.
It's still unknown how much repairs will cost or when the conference center will reopen.
"Our rates are fairly low especially compared with those places that are in it for business and looking at making profits. We're not, at that facility we try to at least break even," explained David Schmitz, Director of the College Station Parks & Recreation Department.
The College Station City Council is expected to be briefed about the problems at their meeting Thursday.

Erosion forces temporary closure of Third Fork Creek Trail sections
Durham's trails are frequently mentioned as one of the city's top attractions, with nearly three of four residents rating city greenway trails very highly. That's one reason why the city is as disappointed as most of its users to be forced to close sections of the Third Fork Creek Trail due to ongoing erosion that worsened during recent heavy rains.
Known for their scenic beauty, Durham trails are often near streams where recreational use is highest, but also it's a great use of flood plain land and protects riparian areas from other development. While some erosion is anticipated in active flood plains like this, the main channel flow of Third Fork Creek has shifted more than anticipated. This has caused erosion that has seriously damaged the section of the trail between Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway and Spreading Oak Court making it dangerous for users. It is also affecting the two sewer lines that are adjacent to the trail.
While the southern half of the trail can still be used, the four access points between MLK Parkway and Cardinal Drive are closed for safety reasons. This entire section of trail has been closed to minimize risk to trail users.
For example, users who access the trail southbound at MLK Parkway would have to get off the trail at the Courtland Drive access and would then have no route to continue south except by walking or riding on Hope Valley Road's very narrow shoulders. Users coming north from Cardinal Drive would have to turn around and have a long walk or ride back to Cardinal. They, too, would have to use Hope Valley Road. Given those options, many users would likely opt to continue across the damaged section — taking a dangerous risk.
Our goal is to begin emergency work on the trail as soon as possible and complete repairs on the damaged section of the Third Fork Creek bank by late October, weather permitting. At that point, the trail could be reopened. However, a more permanent repair would involve returning the majority of stream flow to the main channel of Third Fork Creek -- a much more complicated and costly proposal, requiring environmental permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the N.C. Division of Water Quality.
In the meantime, the city appreciates your patience and invites you to take time to get to know Durham's other trails. For more information about other trails and repair plans for Third Fork Creek Trail, go to www.DPRPlayMore.org, call 919-560-4355 or email Rosetta Radtke at email@example.com.
Rosetta Radtke is senior parks planner for the City of Durham.

The Ontario Power Authority has become notorious for its secrecy and lack of communication with the public
OPA, Hydro One need to be up front about upfront deposits
Comments | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us
QUEEN'S PARK – It's time the Ontario Power Authority and Hydro One come clean with project proponents about their applications, PC Energy Critic and Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli said today.
"Businesses across Ontario have anted up six and seven-figure upfront deposits to the OPA and Hydro One as security for their proposals, yet many can't even get information as to where their projects stand. Were the OPA and Hydro One told NOT to approve any projects, and were they also told NOT to deny any projects?" Fedeli asked.
"This politically-cute stalemate has trapped millions of businesses dollars while the province fumbles and stumbles and it's hurting job creation and investment in Ontario. Businesses can't prorogue their bill payments," added Fedeli.
"This ineptitude does nothing to help get the 600,000 Ontario men and women who woke up without a job this morning back to work."
The Ontario Power Authority has become notorious for its secrecy and lack of communication with the public, Fedeli noted.
"The OPA has been a $300 million waste of taxpayer dollars and should be scrapped," Fedeli said.
Hydro One, meanwhile, recently changed its policy regarding for deposits concerning property developments, and is seeking deposits nearly 10 times greater than previous.
"This is a shocking and untenable cost for developers to absorb at start-up," Fedeli said.
"This is just further proof this government has lost the plot when it comes to energy policy. The Ontario PC party believes affordable energy is the cornerstone of economic growth, and will treat it as such."

Playing Centre & The Top Nine
Jonathan Willis
August 15 2009 01:42PM
The centre-ice position was not a strength for the Oilers last season. Despite being blessed with an abundance of natural centres, the vast majority of them were either young, inept in the faceoff circle, or both. In a recent interview with Dan Tencer, Oilers G.M. Steve Tambellini talked about what his team's options were for the coming season.
Things to look forward to Part I
August 14 2009 01:46PM
Having kept strict radio silence for the past week, we have been alternating between amazement that the Oilers are this close to the ceiling of the salary cap and dismay that the expectations for the team are so low going into next season.
The Oilers Won the Visnovsky Trade
Jonathan Willis
August 14 2009 11:09AM
In his latest column, veteran writer Jim Matheson asks a question that rears its ugly head every so often around these parts:
If the Edmonton Oilers could get a do-over, would they move Matt Greene and Jarret Stoll for Lubomir Visnovsky?
I know that I'd make that trade over again in a heartbeat.
First Line Forwards On Good/Bad Teams
Jonathan Willis
August 14 2009 06:00AM
Yesterday, I posted an article on the point production of first-line forwards. In it, I showed that an NHL-average first liner put up 66 points last season, while a player with 51 points was still producing at a first line rate.
However, a couple of commenters raised the question: don't good teams generally get more points out of their first-line players?
Hemsky turns 26: Primetime
Robin Brownlee
