Sometimes we feel like we're putting a little too much pressure on our underdog of a camera.
We've come to realize that there's only so much light we can fit into that little lens of ours. True, if we had all the money in the world we'd have closets full of lenses that'd do the trick. But we're tired of filling memory cards with "if onlys" and our hearts with million dollar wish lists.
So we're thrilled to finally have found a way to capture 180 hemispherical degrees that won't throw us for broke. Here's a fun Fisheye Lens Adapter that simply screws onto the end of your SLR's zoom lens!
This lens adapter's extremely wide angle and super short focal length twists, distorts, and warps your photos into perfect circles turning all that's rectilinear, curvilinear. It's made out of multi-coated high definition optical glass that's got a big thing for color. Because it's an adapter and not just a lens it picks up and bounces off the dandiest little pieces of lens flare.
So the next time our good 'ol zoom lens isn't feeling fit for the job, we're buddying up with The Fisheye Lens. It's more than just cutting a square into a circle (you can do that in Photoshop) it's about all about the edges!
Soon they'll be calling us the zoom lens miracle workers ... the circles over squares ... the ordinarily extraordinary ...

Manlius Town Board members approved the 2009 budget during a three-hour meeting Nov. 19 after struggling with the Village of Manlius Fire Department to come up with a final budget number, the last day before it was due to the state.
The board questioned two main areas of the village of Manlius fire budget, which increased by 23 percent from last year, including ambulance billing revenue and the state-required radios.
Fire Chief Paul Whorrall defended the decision to cut ambulance billing in the 2009 budget because there might be fewer calls and fewer people paying the bills, he said, even as the other two fire departments within the town increased their projections.
Whorrall estimated that the village of Manlius fire budget set aside $30,000 for radios, but some of the board suggested removing that amount to keep it consistent with the other villages, who have not accounted for the radios.
"There is a good chance that the town would not be liable for them," Tetley said. "The county might be able to pay for some of it."
County legislator Kevin Holmquist, who attended the meeting, said he was hopeful to get the surcharge to pass, even though Gov. David A. Paterson has vetoed the measure. It would cost approximately $300,000 to purchase radios for all of the villages and the town.
"It's wishful thinking to think that the town and the villages are not going to have to put down anything," said village of Minoa Fire Chief Pat Flannery, who also attended the meeting with several other firefighters from the district.
The board approved the estimated $1,054,000 fire budget for the village of Manlius, excluding the radios, and has made tentative plans to finance the expense together.
Representatives from the village of Manlius were not able to attend the public hearings for fire budgets three weeks ago when the villages of Fayetteville and Minoa held theirs.

Western Carolina University's (WCU) new chancellor, Dr. David O. Belcher and his wife, Susan, visited Macon County on Wednesday as the third of 15 stops on their "Get Acquainted Tour."
Belcher came to WCU from Arkansas and is finding the transition to be an easy one. "Susan and I absolutely love being in this part of the country," he said. "It is an absolutely spectacular place, the people are wonderful and we love Western Carolina University. "
The chancellor only joined WCU's staff on July 1, but has already begun demonstrating his leadership skills and introducing strategic goals to bring much needed improvements to WCU. "I didn't just come here to praise the past. I came to raise the bar," said Belcher.
The chancellor spoke to the citizens of Macon County about the exciting things that are happening at WCU. According to Belcher, the university is growing and with that growth comes a greater opportunity for local students to receive higher education without having to leave the region. "We are growing the student body, while we are also increasing admission standards, so it's a really great thing," he explained.
Belcher plans to boost interest in student life on campus. Belcher is adamant that a strong student life will keep students at the university, and by the same token, keep them in the region. By keeping them in the region, after students graduate from Western they will be more likely to bring the skills and education they obtained at Western to the surrounding areas.
One focal point for Belcher is on WCU athletics. "I am behind WCU athletics as strongly as I am behind the rest of the university," Belcher said. The chancellor praised athletic programs at WCU and explained that he "has a dream" to see all programs grow and become more successful. According to Belcher, research suggests that the more successful athletic programs are at a university, the higher the enrollment.
Belcher shared his excitement and pride in WCU. "As of last Friday, our Pride of the Mountains Marching Band was voted to perform at the Sept. 18 Carolina Panther Football game versus Greenbay," he said. Macon Bank sponsored the event, which was held at the Macon Bank Corporate Center. Roger Plemens, CEO and president of
Macon Bank, and 1977 graduate of WCU, was happy to host the event. "It is a pleasure to host this event tonight to introduce our new chancellor," he said. "Western is near and dear to me. It provided me with a good education and is also special to Macon Bank." According to Plemens, out of Macon Bank's 178 employees, 30 have degrees from Western or are currently attending the university.
The four month long tour is designed to assist Belcher in the process of crafting his vision for the next phase of development for the university. During the tour, Belcher hopes to solicit ideas and input from alumni, benefactors, legislators and community members from areas surrounding the university. Belcher will be visiting towns and cities in the Western North Carolina region and across the state, and to Upstate South Carolina, the Metro Atlanta area and Washington, D.C.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
NEWTON, Ga. -- As a result of the Baker County School System receiving a combined $800,000 cut last year from the state and local revenue, Superintendent Tommy Rogers said he told the district's 27 teachers they would be receiving a 30 percent deferment in their salaries starting in September and ending in November.
"The meeting (Thursday) went very well with the teachers because teachers are more concerned with the students and their welfare and teaching them than they are other things," Rogers said. "They're willing to make sacrifices for the students and to make things work for the school system. The population, as a whole, sometimes does not understand the dedication of teachers and their commitment to education and that commitment is strong.
"Therefore they understand when we're in a bind and what we have to do and that we all have to make sacrifices sometimes. Like me, I do not place blame for the shortfall of money on anyone. We just have to make it work and find a way because we do not have any other options."
To help teachers who can't afford to lose 30 percent of their salary during those three months, Rogers said he has put up $80,000 of his own money that he will loan to individual teachers to help them through the stretch. Rogers pointed out that teachers are not obligated to take him up on his loan offer.
"Teachers have until about Sept. 15 to make a decision," the retiring superintendent of 23 years said. "I wanted to give them advance warning on where we were. I'm just trying to make the school work. I'm in a financial crisis and I'm trying to help them. I'm the superintendent and I'm supposed to make it work."
Rogers said he was unaware that any teacher was "insulted," as was contended in an e-mail The Albany Herald received today. The Herald could not verify whether the e-mail was from a teacher as it purported to be.
"If anyone is insulted they didn't indicate that," he said.
Teachers will still be paid for 180 days that they are contracted to work, Rogers said. Teachers have the option of either working the district's regular calendar or instituting furlough days during the fall.
"If they choose the furlough days, they won't make that money until they work those days in the summer," Rogers explained. "If they work the regular calendar, in December they will be reimbursed for that 30 percent that was deferred in September, October and November. The teachers will not lose any money; they will get paid their full contract 180-day payment, but the arrangement is changed."
Although the Baker County School System begins its 2010-11 school year Sept. 1, its Board of Education has yet to pass its Fiscal Year 2011 budget. Because the board didn't pass a budget by July 1, they have passed monthly budget resolutions last two months. Rogers said no plans had been set as of late Friday afternoon for the Board of Education to meet next week in order to approve the FY '11 budget.
At Tuesday's meeting, Rogers presented board members with four budget proposals, which came in at $3,059,253 -- $1,022,817 less than last year's $4,082,070 budget. The amount of reserves remaining and the millage rates are two of the key differences between the proposals for the district which had 420 students enrolled last year, but only has 326 enrolled thus far for the upcoming school year.
The first proposal has a negative $238,439 left in reserves at a millage rate of 12.889. The second has negative $233,220 in reserve and a 12.920 millage rate. The third has $43,690 in reserve and a 14.889 millage rate. The fourth has $325,820 in reserve and a 16.889 millage rate.
"This group of folks that we have on the board want to do a good job and I think that they will; they have good hearts and they want to do what's right," he said. "We just have to go forward and see where we are. We'll get something done, and we'll advertise it. If we have to raise taxes, we'll have a public meeting and at that meeting people will get to say something about it."
Because the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is still working on the July 26 rape of a high school girl attending summer school in the school's media center, Rogers said he couldn't officially comment on the case, but did he say he still believed the K-12 school remains secure.
"It's my belief that the school is safe," he said. "We have cameras around the school and we have adequate supervision around the school."

November 25, 2015
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Public Service Commission has approved a new area code that will overlay the 256 area code in parts of north and east Alabama.
That means phone customers will have to start dialing ten-digits instead of seven digits for local calls.
The PSC took the action Tuesday because the 256 area code is supposed to run out of available numbers in 2011.
The three-digits for the new area code have not been determined but it is supposed to be in place in about 15 months. The PSC vote was unanimous.

I am obsessed with the patterns and the quirks of the universe. I wish to understand and know all that I can.

Would this then be evidence of abiogenesis occurring more than once, or do you mean something else?
It could be - there is still so much we don't know. I think it's unlikely that life only started once and that everything evolved from that first single cell (seems to Adam and Eve to me). I'm sure life occurred several times, some lineages died out, some combined (like ancient archea and bacteria fusing to become eukaryotes, or modern bacteria swapping plasmids). What ever the truth is, it's probably way more complicated than we think (and ultimately unknowable, it will just be hypotheses and conjecture)
I read a hypothesis that these megaviruses might have once been proper cells, which might explain their large genomes (this doesn't feel right to me as it doesn't explain where their protein coat came from)

Khlong Lan National Park
Cool off in the jungle
What we say:
Spread over 300 square kilometres on the west side of Kamphaeng Phet province, Khlong Lan National Park is best known for the breathtaking 100 metre-high Khlong Lan waterall.
Situated a short stroll from park headquarters, the falls include several different streams of water that cascade over a 40 metre-wide cliff into a collection of pools suitable for swimming; it's possible to swim right up to the falls and let the water tumble down on top of you. With a back drop of lushly forested mountains, Khlong Lan is among Thailand's more picturesque waterfalls, particularly when it flows over the full width of the cliff face during the rainy months from July to September. The falls dry up to a trickle during the dry season, but the park is still a pleasant place to camp, hike and swim.
25 km east of park headquarters, and also reachable via Route 1117, Khlong Nam Lai is a smaller waterfall that's also worth a stop. If you want to overnight in the park, simple fan cottages, camping, a convenience shop and restaurant are available near park headquarters. Nearby Khlong Lan village is mainly inhabited by Karen people -- it's a good place to try the local food and pick up handmade wears direct from the villagers.
More detailsAround 60km from Kamphaeng Phet
Opening Hours: Daily 08:00-16:00
How to get there: Park headquarters and Khlong Lan waterfall are located about eight km off Route 1117, some 60 km southwest of Kamphaeng Phet town. It's a fairly simple motorbike trip that takes you first out to Highway 1, then through a U-turn to link up to Route 1117, and finally a long stretch down this quiet and well-maintained road until you reach Khlong Lan village.
When you reach Khlong Lan village, take a right off Route 1117, then another right at the end of the road and continue about five kilometres further to the park. It's also possible to reach Khlong Lan village via bronze songthaews that depart from the day market off Bumrungrat Rd in Kamphaeng Phet town. However, they'll drop you off on Route 1117 and you'd need to hitch or walk the remaining eight kilometres.
Mr Charin from Three J Guesthouse also leads tours here. Unless you can produce a Thai driver's license or work permit, admission to the park is a hefty 200 baht for foreigners, plus an extra 20 baht if you want to bring a motorbike in.

We have been looking at various options to ensure that the design of our SQL Server Driver for PHP truly reflects the requirements of the day to day challenges that our developer community faces when building real-world web applications and services. We would like to start by being as transparent as possible in the design process. I wanted to briefly describe how we'll go about it so you know exactly what you are looking at when reading one of our design-related posts.
How did we get here? We shipped the first SQL Server Driver for PHP this week and we are now looking for feedback from the development community.
Transparency in the design? Over the years Microsoft has been opening up the engineering processes incrementally. Long ago there were only betas, and that was the only chance to see and give feedback about a product before it shipped. Then we started to do Community Tech Previews (CTPs). CTPs enabled us to provide bits more often and gather feedback frequently. The goal with increasing the transparency of design is to take this one step further: we would like to enable folks that are interested in our SQL Server Driver for PHP to follow the design topics as we discuss them, and have the opportunity to provide feedback right during the time where we are actively discussing a certain aspect and haven't made a decision yet.
What exactly would we make visible? In short, our design process. To be more concrete, I'm not talking about some fancy set of specifications. What I mean is that as we go through the detailed design of the various aspects of the SQL Server Driver for PHP, we would post in this blog a) the meeting notes from our design meetings and b) deeper write-ups of specific design challenges where we'd like folks to understand how we're seeing a problem and provide a channel for deep, detailed feedback.
How transparent is transparent? I want to be completely clear about the scope of the information we are sharing. One of the things we need to learn both from the Microsoft side and from the community side is whether the model works within a practical set of restrictions. We would post as much of our discussions as it is practically possible. However, we have to make sure we don't compromise the interests of Microsoft as a company. There are certain things that can range from ideas to specific implementation details that we could consider trade secrets, high-value Microsoft intellectual property or something along those lines. It *will* happen that in some cases we will not discuss a topic publicly, either for a certain term (e.g. until a proper IP protection mechanism is in place) or until we ship or ever. This is nothing new, but I haven't seen folks from large companies discuss this explicitly before, so I wanted to make sure it is clear here.
About your feedback: We would love to hear your thoughts, be it comments, suggestions, ideas or anything else. However, in the end we are designing a commercial Microsoft product. So we'll happily take your feedback but you need to understand that by providing us feedback in any form you are agreeing that we may use it to develop our product, that others may use it in connection with the product and that you will not be compensated for any of these things. We may incorporate ideas or make changes based on comments you make, or we may make changes to the product that are indirectly influenced by discussions that we have with you and other folks in the community. Again, this is nothing new, but instead of having some fancy statement written in legal lingo I wanted to be upfront about this here in this first post on the topic. Of course our legal folks looked at this, and they were cool enough to understand that the informal nature of the process is what makes it work, and they let us get away with this statement in which I think we clearly delineate what will happen with whatever feedback you send our way.
So, what do folks think? Is this a good idea? Does it sound useful/practical? We will start posting design notes and challenges soon and tweak the process as we go.
John BocharovProgram ManagerSQL Server Driver for PHP
I have been waiting a long time for this driver.
I am a little disappointed that it is not available for linux, but I guess MS is just protecting it's market. And from what I read IIS7 is much better these days anyway.
I thing I would recommend is to have a survey to see what features users need. One of mine that I have really wanted is better error reporting. Current SQL drivers only give the last error msg, and i would like to see all the error msg that you get in the console being returned to the client (in this case PHP).
Really looking forward to this project evolving. Keep up the good work.
Nice move from Microsoft! The old php_mssql.dll is absolutely painful to deploy and SQL Server 2005 support is almost inexistant. It works, but you never know when it's going to break.
However, I have one major concern. I believe a lot of people did their SQL Server access from PHP thru php_mssql which offers some nice API bits that are used extensively in the PHP community the most important being mssql_num_rows which returns the number of rows returned from a SELECT statement. I don't see any function like this in the API of your new extension.
I have heard a lot about the fact for many database communication protocols you cannot determine in advance the size of a result set, but since most PHP developers rely on this function (also because the very popular php_mysql and php_mysqli have this function built-in) I believe it should be included in your driver.
The overhead of rewriting an application to change the reliance on mssql_num_rows for something else, like two different SQL statements (one SELECT COUNT() and one normal SELECT) and the difficulty of writing cross-platform database SQL that implies COUNT should justify that you add such function.
We did transitioned our application from MySQL to SQL Server recently and one of the main incentive was that the API between php_mysql and php_mssql was about the same and in two hours we were able to write a parallel DB abstraction layer supporting SQL Server.
to vbouret:
You should test and read (RTFM...) before asking something 8-)) .
gives the nomber of rows affected by the last statement. Which can be a select, insert, update and so on.... Tested and it works !
I'm currently writing a little wrapper from php_mssql to to the new CTP.
By the Way, i found a annoying bug:
On SQL2005, we have a table called Document_lie with 2 fields : doc_type (varchar(50)) and doc_Document (text).
Another application is putting base64 encoded text in doc_document.
This code works:
$sql=" Select Top 1 DOC_Type,DOC_Document from Document_lie
where Doc_Compteur =7418;
if ($stmt) {
sqlsrv_stmt_fetch( $stmt );
while (!feof($photostream))
echo $photobin;
While this one doesn't:
$sql=" Select Top 1DOC_Type,DOC_Document from Document_lie
if ($stmt){
while ($result=sqlsrv_stmt_fetch_array($stmt, SQLSRV_FETCH_TYPE_ASSOC)){
In fact, if you look at $photocod, you see the problem easily: $photocod gets the good length (in my case 80734 bytes), but only the first 65535 bytes are correct. The rest is filled with garbage. Looks like a pointer problem.
Anyway, keep up the good work !
Thanks for your feedback. Can you clarify what you mean by "all error messages"? Currently, sqlsrv_errors() and sqlsrv_warnings() return *all* errors and warnings that occured on the last operation. Using print_r would be a good way to see the structure of what is returned by each of these functions. For example, you could try this:
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors( ), true ) );
If this isn't what you are looking for regarding errors sent to the client, please let us know.

SQL Server Driver for PHP
This is great feedback...thanks. We will definitely be looking into the specific issue you raise (returning the number of results from a SELECT) in the near future. Of course, we are also interested in the more general ease-of-portablility issue and will re-visit it as development continues.
Thanks again...please keep your thoughts/comments/feedback coming.
You've hit on a limitation that was imposed in order to get an API into your hands quickly. Jay, a member of our team, responded to your question in the SQL Server Data Access forum: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2313619&SiteID=1
I'll follow up with a blog post soon that highlights how the current streaming capabilities can be used to overcome this limitation.
Thanks for your feedback.
Oooops !
$sql='Select Top 10 DOC_Type, Doc_Document from Document_lie';
echo 'Rows: '.sqlsrv_stmt_rows_affected($stmt).'<br/>';
while ($result=sqlsrv_stmt_fetch_array($stmt, SQLSRV_FETCH_TYPE_ASSOC)){ }
Rows: -1
Rows: 10
Sorry vbouret.... It doesn't work as I thought it was !
Previous mssql driver only returned the last error msg.
eg. mssql_get_last_message()
And in an environment where you call one SP, which calls another, all with transactions, if the inner most fails, there is several error msgs, allowing one to traceback to where the problem is.
Glad to see that this driver accounts for this. (Will test and see)
It's good to see at least something happening. But what I would really appreciate is the PDO extension for sqlsrv. Standalone php database driver goes against the current trend in php development.
I think that the drivers are great, but lack in a object/class approach like mysqli. Is there any plans to allow both styles? Also, I think it would great if there was a way to pass in the Database to use... so as to not require a second call to execute the "Use Database" query before the actual query. If use database functionality is there I did not see it. Great job overall!
I am thrilled that this is coming out... I've been stuck in that awkward middle ground of PHP/MSSQL for years, and having a true native driver sounds awesome.
But I just tested it, and unless I am missing something, there is no Unicode support... without which this is a complete non-starter for me at least. Is there a hidden config switch or something? Or plans to support Unicode in the full release?
I am an old sql server user
I try to use a lot of php software and they came all with Mysql support
I was very happy to get this release ....
I look after store procedure support and i didn't find anything about it.
Have i miss something ou there is nothing at this time ?
Is there somethong planned for the next 3 months ?
Thanks for your feedback
Best regards from France
I am very happy this driver is coming. I ran some tests on the CTP version and miss some functionality;
- sqlsrv_num_rows(): I use this mssql extension counterpart quite often. I am now forced to do a count query as an alternative. I prefer having this function instead.
- sqlsrv_select_db(): eventho you can run a USE db query. As far as I'm concerned this could even be part of the connect statement as optional parameter.
- sqlsrv_data_seek(): to mimic a limit statement on SQL Server I use TOP x followed by a data_seek on the resultset. I can do a sqlsrv_stmt_fetch until I reach the start row, but that might be slower then a data_seek that moves the pointer in one step.
- the limit of 64k on retrieval of columns should avoidable (ini-directive maybe).
- some bugs I ran across which I posted on the forum.
- on the positive side I am very glad we can retrieve all error messages. This is a limitation of the PHP MSSQL extension that annoyed me for a long time.
For a first release I suppose this is pretty decent. I am wondering when we will see more information on the design process as promised in this post.


text: Al Gore Made How Much in Green Tech?! Assets have gone from $2M to $100M since 2001: Washington Post By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Oct 11, 2012 4:37 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (128) (Newser) – Al Gore may well be the loudest voice on the subject of climate change, and he has been handsomely rewarded for his efforts. A lengthy Washington Post profile today has this nugget: "Just before leaving public office in 2001, Gore reported assets of less than $2 million; today, his wealth is estimated at $100 million." A big part of the huge jump can be explained by his investments in green tech, and it helped that the Obama administration came in four years ago with a mission to push alternative energy. Fourteen firms connected to Gore got "$2.5 billion in loans, grants, and tax breaks," says the Post. Gore wasn't interviewed in the piece, but he has previously rejected GOP criticism that he took advantage of political connections to get rich. He believes a "green economy" will be good for America, he said a while back, "and I have invested in it." Read the full piece here. Al Gore in a file photo from January.

ST. LOUIS (AP)—Mike Matheny is still waiting for rookie left-hander John Gast to show some emotion.
"He's the same all the time … he never smiles," the St. Louis manager said. "Real even keel."
Gast used that business-like approach to pick up a win in his major league debut Tuesday night.
Carlos Beltran drove in four runs and Gast threw six solid innings, helping the Cardinals cruise past the New York Mets 10-4.
Gast (1-0) tossed five shutout innings before giving up four runs in the sixth. He surrendered six hits, struck out three and walked one in a 71-pitch effort to help the Cardinals win for the fifth time in six games and 11th in their last 13.
"I was excited, ready to go," Gast said. "There was some excitement. I was able to refocus the adrenaline to make my pitches."
Matheny was pleased with the poise of the 24-year-old, who held the Mets scoreless on three hits and 50 pitches through the first five innings.
"He was fine on the corners," Matheny said. "You could tell he was working the bottom of the zone. Once he started going, he was making some really good pitches."
Beltran slammed a three-run homer in the fifth inning, his team-high tenth, to give St. Louis a 9-0 lead. He also added a run-scoring hit in the third.
"It was a fastball in the middle of the zone," Beltran said of the 437-foot blast that landed in Big Mac Land. "I was able to stay inside and hit it good."
The veteran outfielder was also impressed with Gast.
"It was fun to see," Beltran said. "That just shows the depth of our minor league system. They have a lot of guys like that who can come in and do the job."
New York right-hander Dillon Gee (2-5) gave up six runs, five earned, in four innings for the Mets, who lost their fifth straight despite scoring more than three runs for the first time in eight games.
Gee has allowed four earned runs or more in five of eight starts this season.
"I don't know what to say, I didn't feel all that bad tonight," Gee said. "I'm a ground ball guy and I think seven ground balls got through. I don't know what else to do."
Marlon Byrd hit a two-run homer in the sixth as New York also lost for the 11th time in its last 14 games at Busch Stadium.
Gast began the season with 32 consecutive scoreless innings for Triple-A Memphis. He was called up in part to fill the rotation spot of Jake Westbrook who is on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation.
Jon Jay also homered for St. Louis, a solo shot in the sixth, his fourth of the year. Beltran went 3 for 5.
"It's fun, we're playing good baseball," Beltran said. "We're getting good starting pitching and the offense is doing enough to win ballgames."
St. Louis scored three times in both the first and third innings to take a 6-0 lead.
Allen Craig capped off the early uprising with a two-run single. Matt Holliday doubled in Matt Carpenter for the first run. The first four St. Louis hitters reached safely and the Cardinals scored three times on Gee's first 11 pitches.
Pete Kozma and Carpenter added run-scoring singles in the third. Carpenter reached safely four times.
The Mets' five-game skid is their longest since losing six in a row April 25-30.
"We've gone through a bad streak and it's been two weeks long," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "We can't sit here and try to make something positive out of it."
Former St. Louis pitcher/outfielder Rick Ankiel who was signed by the Mets on Monday, grounded out as a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Ankiel received a warm ovation from the crowd.
NOTES: St. Louis rookie Shelby Miller (5-2, 1.88 ERA) will face Shaun Marcum (0-3, 8.59) in the third game of the four-game set tomorrow. Miller retired 27 successive batters after giving up a leadoff hit to Eric Young in a 3-0 win over Colorado on Friday. … New York C John Buck broke out of a 2-for-27 slump with a single in the sixth. … Ankiel is getting paid at a pro-rated share of the major league minimum $490,000 from the Mets, which comes to $382,896, and that amount is off-set against the $775,000 he was guaranteed under the deal he was released from by the Astros. He can earn an additional $775,000 in performance bonuses from the Mets based on plate appearances.

The post Lightroom 4 Presets – "The 300" Look (updated) appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.]]>
On to the presets. Here's another oldie but goodie that I updated to work better with Lightroom 4. The actual effect was inspired by a movie that's a few years old. It's called "The 300". So the preset isn't new, but I still see the style of this preset used all the time. It's a very edgy tinted kinda look. You'll notice there are 2 presets in the zip file. One of them is for a harsher stronger look (good if you're looking for that gritty effect). The other one is for a softer look (better for portraits that have women in them). Hope you enjoy!

The post 3 Things (and some more stuff) You Need to Know About Lightroom 4.1 appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.]]>
First, The 3 Things
1. You now have the ability to process HDR TIFF files (yes, even 32-bit TIFF files). Let's say you merge multiple exposures into a single 32-bit image using Photoshop's HDR Pro. Now you can save that image, import it into Lightroom, and use the new basic panel controls to process the image (rather than the, how shall I say, somewhat touchy, HDR Pro controls)
2. If you've enjoyed the new Book module, you'll be happy to know you can save photobooks as JPEG files now. That means you can assemble them for printing somewhere else.
3. Lastly, 4.1 is supposed to address any performance issues you may have had. I didn't have them personally, but I had a few people at my seminars say that LR4 was too slow. If you were in that boat then you'll definitely want to download 4.1
Some More Stuff
– If you've got color fringing problems on your photos you'll love the new Color Fringing corrections to help address chromatic aberration (you can find out more about it here).
– Publishing photos to Adobe Revel is now accessible via a Publish plugin
– Point Curve adjustments (from earlier versions of Lightroom) are back.
– Fixed any Edit-in functionality
– Better viewing of subfolders and stacks in folders with a large number of photos.
– Clarity should no longer add gray tinting.
Tom Hogarty (Adobe's Lightroom Product Manager) has a full write up of all the features, bug fixes, new camera support and lens profiles that were added over on his blog. Here's the link if you want to go read it. In the meantime, make sure you go to Help > Check for Updates to download the new version. And if you did have any performance or issues fixed in the update, be sure to leave a comment and let us know how the update is working out for you.

The post Is a Lightroom HDR "Effect", Really HDR? appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.]]>
I posted a smaller version of this to my Google+ page yesterday but the comments got me thinking more about the topic. So I figured I'd write about it here since, well, the post-processing involved in what you're about to read was done in Lightroom.
So here's the story
I saw this post the other day on 500px (link: http://500px.com/photo/8023755) and it got me wondering. The photographer, Jose Barbosa (who's work I think is fabulous by the way), wrote "No HDR" next to his photo. But the photo (to me at least) looks like an HDR photo.
Some Research
So RC Concepcion and I did a little digging in the metadata of his photo and saw lots of adjustment brush work done with Clarity (Basically the HDR effect slider in Lightroom). And in the comments on 500px post, the photographer himself wrote "processing in Lightroom and Viveza 2".
The Question
Now, honestly, I don't really know the meaning behind his disclaimer, so I won't pretend to guess too much about it. But that's not really the point of this post. It got me thinking about something else. My point (and question to you) is whether HDR (that's not really HDR), is still HDR? Hasn't HDR simply just become and effect? Kinda like Black & White or the cross-processing effect. Do we still need 3 or 5 or 7 bracketed photos that were processed in a program like Photomatix, to classify an image as an official HDR photo? Or is HDR simply the effect of bringing out more detail in the shadows and highlights (and maybe a little gritty/surreal look to it). Lightroom 4 is incredibly good at faking HDR nowadays right? Heck, I've even got presets that do it for you. The end result is a photo with lots of detail in the shadows and highlights, and almost a surreal look to it.
The Actual Definition of HDR
As many of you know, HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. The actual definition on Wikipedia is: "HDR is a set of methods used in imaging and photography, to allow a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image…". It goes on to talk about how HDR "can" also include multiple photos and certain HDR specific processing programs. But honestly, you can read what you want into the definition. Some may stop at the beginning where it reads that HDR is just there to bring out greater dynamic range in the shadows and highlights – and some may use the whole paragraph to define HDR. In the end, does it really matter what the official definition is, if photographers have pretty much redefined it in their minds?
My Take
I guess my thought is that HDR is simply an effect these days. Forget what program you use to create it. Using the Shadow and Highlights sliders and pumping up the Clarity in Lightroom in your photo makes it "look" like HDR. Does it really matter whether you really did the official 3-shot-bracket-Photomatix thing or not (again, I really like his photos and post-processing, so this isn't a critique).
A Mini-Point to All of This
While you're pondering, think about this too. By posting "No HDR" what do you accomplish? If you're an HDR enthusiast, then you don't care if it's HDR or not. And if you're not an HDR enthusiast then what do you gain by reading "No HDR". Well, the photographer himself may have thought it could be mistaken for an HDR photo, so he had to write it. So if you hate HDR, then you'd likely be turned off by the photo whether it was HDR or not. Why? Probably not because of the actual term HDR itself – instead, it's probably because you don't like the surreal-hyper-detailed "effect" those photos seem to have. So I guess I'm not sure what is gained by saying you didn't use HDR. Those who like it don't care, and those who don't like it don't care – you don't get street cred either way. I personally think his work is beautiful no matter what he writes about the way he processed it.
Again, it really goes back to my question. If it has the HDR look to it, then isn't it really an HDR photo in the end?
I think so. How about you?
Back to my question. And before you answer, please consider this. The comments on my G+ post really took a turn toward whether or not HDR was ok, or not ok, or when it was ok, etc… That's not what I was hoping to discuss. You already know my feeling on it, and we ALL already know that topic is polarized. I'm really after the question I posed here. And I think that whether or not you like HDR, your answers can still be very different. Is HDR beyond bracketing and Photomatix (or whatever program you use)? Has it evolved and now become an effect that we can achieve in Lightroom (or Camera Raw, Topaz, or Viveza, or whatever other program you use). Thoughts?

The post News: Lightroom 4 Is On the Mac Store appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.]]>
Adobe's Lightroom Product Manager, Tom Hogarty, announced that Lightroom is now available on the Apple Mac Store (for North America only). I think overall it's a good move for Lightroom. For new Lightroom users out there who are on the Mac store and may never have otherwise heard of Lightroom, this is just another way to get it into their hands. However, there area few, caveats, shall we say
1) It's for Mac only (duh!). This probably doesn't seem bad if you only own Macs. However, I can tell you from being on the road teaching Lightroom over the last few weeks, there's LOTS of people out there that have both a Windows and Mac machine. The boxed version and download version of Lightroom can be installed on both Mac and PC.
2) Updates will take place through the Mac store. From personal experience of being the managing editor of a digital magazine (Light It magazine) that's delivered through the Mac App Store, that (sometimes) approvals can be a pain in the neck. So, when Adobe feels an update is ready they'll release it. That doesn't mean it'll be immediately available on the App store though, as it may take a few days.
3) There's no upgrade pricing. So basically, if you have LR1, 2 or 3, you can can't get the upgrade price to 4 (only $79) on the App store. Instead, you'll pay $149. And there's no guarantee that when 5 comes out, and you bought LR4 on the App store, that you'd be able to upgrade as well.
My Take: I kinda wonder if I'm alone in doing what I do. But, I have a Mac and when I see software I want to buy that's on the App store, the first thing I do is go to the software makers website to see if I can buy it direct from them. For me at least, I prefer to buy a copy of the software straight from them. I may be crazy, paranoid, whatever… but that's just the way I do it. That said, if I can't buy it directly from the developer, then I have no problem buying something through the App store. It's just not my first choice. And remember, Adobe's just trying to create another channel for which to buy Lightroom (if you owned a product you'd make sure you'd get it out there in as many stores as you could right?). They can't control the App store policies when it comes to upgrades and updates. Anyway, just thought I'd let you guys know what the deal is. Hope you have a great weekend.

By Ralph Hipp
After all that time with Tom Asbury, Jim Wooldridge, Huggy Man then the amazing Frank Martin, it all came down to last night.
Kansas State basketball is already on the map. Matt Blanchette called last night's 101-96 double OT win over Xavier the best college hoops game he'd ever seen. Period. I wanted to ask you Wildcat fans if the Thursday night classic was at the very least, the best K-State basketball game you've ever seen. And they're not done by a "long shot!"
When Wildcat basketball was simply mediocre, the whole idea of disposing of Asbury and Wooldridge was to get into the NCAA Tournament and GO DEEP.
Mission Accomplished.
The circumstances which also led to convincing Bob Huggins to give K-State a try to get his career back on track.. only led KSU to the promised land, turning over the reins to a man who continues to amaze us as a college basketball recruiter and coach of the first degree. Kudos to Frank Martin, Jacob Pullen, Denis Clemente, Dominique Sutton, Curtis Kelly and the amazing cast of cat characters we will long remember in Manhattan, and here at WIBW for giving our fans such a great show. Carry on, Cats! Ralph

MUNCY, TEXAS. Muncy is near the intersection of U.S. Highway 70, Farm Road 786, and the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway, seven miles northwest of Floydada in west central Floyd County. It was founded in 1897 by Rev. R. E. L. Muncy of Virginia. In 1910 the Santa Fe Railroad built into the area and constructed a switch in Muncy. The postal department granted the community an office in 1911 and appointed Reverend Muncy postmaster, but he resigned the position, and the station was never established. The Mayshaw school was built near the community in 1911 and renamed Muncy the next year. On September 11, 1910, the Muncy Missionary Baptist Church was organized at the school, with Reverend Muncy as pastor. The church remained active until it moved to Lockney in 1926. The school operated until the spring of 1947, then was consolidated (officially in 1949) with the Lockney school. In the 1980s Muncy had a grain elevator built in 1928, several houses, and a Santa Fe Railroad switch.

You can't help but hand it to them – rooftop solar companies have quite cleverly found their way onto the government's gravy train.
For years Washington has subsidized rooftop solar installations for customers in the form of the Solar Investment Tax Credit, which allows homeowners who install rooftop solar panels to receive a tax credit of up to 30 percent of the cost.
The subsidy has been one of the many ongoing ways in which the feds insert themselves into the energy marketplace. And while it has hampered efforts to achieve real energy independence in the U.S., and has therefore caused real harm to our economy, it nevertheless has met a legitimate need for homeowners desperate for some relief from high energy costs.
But rooftop solar companies – most of which, like SolarCity, Corp., are political connected and favored – have created a scheme to claim the tax credit for themselves. These companies discovered that if they lease the rooftop solar systems to homeowners, the companies themselves can claim the federal tax credit as well as all state and local incentives.
Evidence is now pouring in that this scheme enriches these companies and their Wall Street investors at the expense of homeowners and taxpayers. Worse still, customers who are persuaded to sign onto these leasing programs are finding they reduce the value of their homes.
To the homeowner, the initial deal looks like a good one. SolarCity waives upfront fees and secures outside financing for customers to lease their units. Standard leases last twenty years. Because the customers don't own the solar units, they are not entitled to the federal tax credit - SolarCity is. A tax credit is essentially a creative way for the government to give someone money – in this case, Wall Street-backed companies – without the dyspeptic display of actually handing over a wad of cash. The arrangement gives SolarCity 20 years of tax credits per customer.
And, in typical Washington crony capitalist fashion, SolarCity was founded and is run by a friend and major donor to President Barack Obama, Elon Musk.

And Apple says roughly half the PC buyers in its stores are first-time Mac customers or returnees from Wintel PCs....In a recent survey of likely home PC buyers by the Technometrica Institute of Policy and Politics, 8% of respondents said they intended to buy an Apple. That's second only to Dell -- and up from 5% in May..."

Apple's iMovie can be used to strip the FairPlay digital rights management protection (DRM) on iTunes songs, according to a report by German news site Macnews.de. The site reports that Apple's own video tool can be used to create unprotected song files that be played on any computer without recompression, circumventing iTunes' DRM protection. iMovie users can use the "Share" feature of iMovie to export any imported (protected) song from the iTunes Music Store. The exported songs can either be stored in the un-protected AAC file format (used by Apple at the iTMS) or in the raw WAV file format; both of these formats are supported by iTunes.

But TRU *****s make gangsta **** go down
We come in your set flip your dope and get rich
Take over your block and your spot with number one hits
Money and power, ha, give me the world
Cause after dollars no cents, only time will tell
Ha, I'm goin through somethangs, fool, so stop hatin
You live for weed and money, I live for greens and bacon
And I ain't takin no shorts with my ghetto d
I stick to plan be and keep my eyes on my enemies
And if you want some ***** come and get some
We ride bourbans and llacs when its time to attack
So throw em up if you a real soldier
I'll make you say uhhhhh, I thought I told ya
Chorus 2X
