Jul 2015 - $24.00
We spent 2 nights here. Used as a lay-over for a trip further west.
Campground was very nice. Many trees, but open underneath. Large sites and space between. Paved roads with gravel pads. Very quiet. Most people here to boat/fish so are gone during day.
Restrooms were clean, but did show some signs of use - marked up stalls, etc. There is one shower building and additional vault toilets throughout campground.
We were disappointed that you are not on Leech Lake. You cannot even see it from the campground. You are located on a channel/river and the open lake is some distance away (> 1 mile). No swimming at campground.
There during July 4th week, and the vendor for firewood did not have any available for purchase. Had to order, but they delivered to site. But it was wet and green wood. - Browndogs2
May 2015 - $24.00
Our Good Sam RV group goes every Sept. Beautiful Fall colors. Nice walking areas. Nice Federal park. - cdru
Sep 2014 - $24.00
I concur with the previous reviewer but I wanted to add a couple of things. The vast majority of sites are back-in. I'd say most are pretty easy access but choose your site carefully if you have a bigger rig. This is more a park for camping than RVing and there is a difference, e.g. the lack of water at many sites. Good ATT & Verizon coverage. - Danno

The former executive director of the North Carolina Democratic Party says there was no dedicated bank account for money then-Gov. Mike Easley raised for the party.
Scott Falmlen testified Thursday to the State Board of Elections that the party kept track of how much money Easley's campaign raised for the party and the party had final control over how they were spent.
Falmlen says the party decided to pay for Easley campaign expenses and that was legal. He says Easley campaign officials never asked for a cut of party funds they raised to pay for Easley campaign activities, which would be illegal.
The board will rule whether the party and Easley's campaign broke election laws.

Secrets of Success
Snow and shopping
Thursday, January 02, 2014
Wow... 18 or 19 inches of snow in Boston, and it's on its way to us too, but we already have over 6 ft. accumulated at our driveway entrance.... and it's only the 2nd week of winter..... how long can this go on?
Lot of ice.... luckily I can still back into the little tunnel to get into my yard, but it's a big uphill pile of ice..... hard to stay cheerful at all, unless you go shopping and that I did today before the blizzard gets here.... great bunch of bargains.... dollar days are so fun....But, this year's resolution is to track how much I am spending, as well as how much I am saving in discounts and coupons and then how much I earn in rewards.... spreadsheet here I come...
so far this year, off my food and exercise....
sounds like there will be lots of time over next few days to plan some menus and do some exercise... church has already been cancelled due to furnace trouble, so may as well just hunker down and not go anywhere....

You have one Terri Plus One foot of snow..that is ridiculous!. When we first went to Nova Scotia, they said snow didn't last long
Hope today was a good one for getting things planned. It was nice to see you on FB.
My heel is better,,,I think that it liked the bike today. I really wanted to walk..

I do not envy you in the least. Six feet of snow, wow!. I would be thinking that would feel claustrophobic out on the road? Or is the snow not so deep out there ? Certainly have a picture in my mind that does not look appealing to me....

I hope that you won't need to be out in bad weather. The older I get the more I determine not to go out when it is obviously icy. I smile as I say that, because some 12 or 13 years ago, I heard of an older gal who wouldn't drive if there was snow on the ground --- I thought that a bit excessive. However, this dozen or so years later, I am getting to understand her thinking!
Normally --- during our CHRISTmas holiday travel across Kansas & into Oklahoma, we hit a lot of snow going & coming home. However, during our travels this year, there was virtually no snow or ice to be seen --- except right around the hotel this morning --- that seemed rather weird to us. It was such a blessing to have clear roads to travel on. We had heard about the snows in the Boston area & were happy that they were in that area rather than in ours. We have family in the New England states, so are praying God's protection over them as they, too, face snow & ice conditions.
God bless!

We had around 7inches which is a lot for us, but the blowing and low temps is what makes it bad. Flat around here so it just blows until something stops it. Stay warm & plan your new healthy year!!

If you have to go out, please be careful and stay safe and warm. Definitely our weather will be worse with Hercules showing up and bringing our temperatures unbelievably low and lots of snow across the US.
So sorry to hear that your church is having furnace trouble. Hope they can get it fixed quickly but I'm sure it also depends some on the weather.
Good luck on getting back on track with your food and exercise. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Blessings and hugs,

text: So far I just know that sony ericsson xperia arc s can play files of 720p at its maximum. But yesterday one of my friend said that I tried to play 1080p video file and guess what, he successfully played it. I was quite shocked and surprised and I did not believe him till the end. But later on he literally showed me his mobile phone and played a video file of 1080p resolution in his player. Now I am totally confused, how could this be possible if its been officially mentioned that arc s mobile phone can support only video file at the maximum range of 720p. Is there anyone who tried the same and got the positive result?

prove something. These delusions, lingering beyond their time, are responsible for most of the disasters visible in the national literature today--the disasters of the radicals as well as those of the 100 per cent dunderheads. The writers of the future, I hope and believe, will carefully avoid both of them.
Alain Locke
In the last decade something beyond the watch and guard of statistics has happened in the life of the American Negro and the three norms who have traditionally presided over the Negro problem have a changeling in their laps. The Sociologist, the Philanthropist, the Race-leader are not unaware of the New Negro, but they are at a loss to account for him. He simply cannot be swathed in their formulæ. For the younger generation is vibrant with a new psychology; the new spirit is awake in the masses, and under the very eyes of the professional observers is transforming what has been a perennial problem into the progressive phases of contemporary Negro life.
Could such a metamorphosis have taken place as suddenly as it has appeared to? The answer is no; not because the New Negro is not here, but because the Old Negro had long become more of a myth than a man. The Old Negro, we must remember, was a creature of moral debate and historical controversy. His has been a stock figure perpetuated as an historical fiction partly In innocent sentimentalism, partly in deliberate reactionism. The Negro himself has contributed his share to this through a sort of protective social mimicry forced upon him by the adverse circumstances of dependence. So for generations in the mind of America, the Negro has been more of a formula than a human being--a something to be argued about, condemned or defended, to be "kept down," or "in his place," or "helped up," to be worried with or worried over, harassed or patronized, a social bogey or a social burden. The thinking Negro even has been induced to share this same general attitude, to focus his attention on controversial issues, to see himself in the distorted perspective of a social problem. His shadow, so to speak, has been more real to him than his personality. Through having had to appeal from the unjust stereotypes of his oppressors and traducers to those of his liberators, friends and benefactors he has had to subscribe to the traditional positions from which his case has been viewed. Little true social or self-understanding has or could come from such a situation.
But while the minds of most of us, black and white, have thus burrowed in the trenches of the Civil War and Reconstruction, the actual march of development has simply flanked these positions, necessitating a sudden reorientation of view. We have not been watching in the right direction; set North and South on a sectional axis, we have not noticed the East till the sun has us blinking.____________________

Pre-shared keys
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Pre-shared keys
A pre-shared key is a string of Unicode characters used to authenticate L2TP/IPSec connections. You can configure Routing and Remote Access to authenticate VPN connections that support a pre-shared key. The use of pre-shared keys is supported on many operating systems, including the Windows Server 2003 family and Windows XP. You can also configure a server running the Windows Server 2003 family version of Routing and Remote Access to use a pre-shared key to authenticate connections from other routers.
Advantages and disadvantages of pre-shared keys
Pre-shared key authentication does not require the hardware and configuration investment of a public key infrastructure (PKI), which is necessary for using computer certificates for L2TP/IPSec authentication. Pre-shared keys are simple to configure on a remote access server, and they are relatively simple to configure on a remote access client. They can be made transparent to the user if they are issued within Connection Manager profiles. If you are in the process of establishing a PKI or you manage an Active Directory domain, you can configure Routing and Remote Access to accept an L2TP/IPSec connection using a computer certificate or a pre-shared key.
However, a single remote access server can utilize only one pre-shared key for all L2TP/IPSec connections that require a pre-shared key for authentication. Therefore, you must issue the same pre-shared key to all L2TP/IPSec VPN clients that connect to the remote access server using a pre-shared key. Unless you distribute the pre-shared key within a Connection Manager profile, each user must manually type the pre-shared key. This limitation further reduces the security of the deployment and increases the probability of error. Moreover, if the pre-shared key on a remote access server is changed, a client with a manually configured pre-shared key will be unable to connect to that server until the pre-shared key on the client is changed. If the pre-shared key was distributed to the client within a Connection Manager profile, that profile must be reissued with the new pre-shared key and reinstalled on the client computer. Unlike certificates, the origin and the history of a pre-shared key cannot be determined. For these reasons, the use of pre-shared keys to authenticate L2TP/IPSec connections is considered a relatively weak authentication method. If you want a long term, strong authentication method, you should consider using a PKI.
Considerations when choosing a pre-shared key
A pre-shared key is a sequence of characters that is configured on both the remote access server and the L2TP/IPSec client. The pre-shared key can be any non-null string of any combination of up to 256 Unicode characters. When you choose a pre-shared key, consider the fact that users who utilize the New Connection wizard to create the VPN client connection must type the pre-shared key manually. A key that is long and complex enough to provide adequate security might be difficult for the majority of your users to type accurately. If the pre-shared key presented by the VPN client deviates in any way from the pre-shared key configured on the remote access server, client authentication will fail.
When the pre-shared key is first stored, the remote access server and the VPN client attempt to convert the Unicode string into ASCII. If the attempt is successful, the ASCII version of the string will be used for authentication. This strategy ensures that the pre-shared key is not corrupted in transmission by any devices that do not comply with the Unicode standard, such as routers from other companies. If the pre-shared key cannot be stored as ASCII, the Unicode string will be used. If the Unicode pre-shared key must be processed by any device that does not comply with the Unicode standard, the connection attempt will almost certainly fail.
Pre-shared keys and the Connection Manager Administration Kit
By using the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK) wizard, you can create a customized connection experience for your users. You can use the CMAK wizard to create a VPN connection profile that includes a pre-shared key. Because profiles are self-extracting, the user does not have to type in the pre-shared key or even to know that a pre-shared key exists. You can further increase the security of your Connection Manager profile distribution by encrypting the pre-shared key with a personal identification number (PIN). In this way, not only does the user never see or have to type the pre-shared key, you can distribute the profile and the PIN separately, reducing the chance that an unauthorized user might obtain access to your network.
For more information about Connection Manager profiles, see Connection Manager Administration Kit. For more information about VPNs, see Virtual Private Networks and Virtual private networking with IPSec. For more information about PKIs, see Deploying a Public Key Infrastructure.

Senior Scores 36 in ACT Math Section
Byline: Chad Brooks
Congratulations are in order for Schaumburg High School senior Bradley Clark.
Clark recently found out he scored a perfect 36 on the mathematics portion of the ACT college entrance exam.
The exam measures educational development in English, mathematics, reading and science reasoning.
Before taking both the ACT and SAT exams, Clark said he had a goal of acing the math section on one of the two exams. In Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211, nearly 3,000 students took the ACT exam. The average score on the math portion of the test was 22.0. The state average in Illinois is 20.2, with a mean national score of 20.6.
Clark said he plans on attending the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign after he graduates next spring.
Palatine to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month: Hispanic Heritage Month kicks off Sept. 15, and students at Palatine High School will be celebrating. The Cultural Awareness Club at Palatine will sponsor a field trip for 45 Hispanic students to the Hispanic Leadership Conference Sept. 25 at the Hyatt House.
The goal of the conference is to provide high-achieving Latino youths in high school and college with key learning experiences that hone their skills as future leaders in the Latino community. Students will spend the day listening to Hispanic speakers whose goals are to guide students to see themselves as social architects responsible for shaping the future Latino world. …

text: Had the Croll out on real MTB trails today, and happy to report it does equally well on the trails as on the road. I was actually quite surprised to be catching a fair number of hard-tail MTB's and riding off the berms and jumps so well. It climbs better than I thought it would. Wrists a bit sore from some of the rocks and logs, but that's the rigid thing more than the drops. Best thing was instead of tossing it on a car rack like the full spen's, I just rode home on it (took the long way back).

If a space alien were to land in New Orleans, they just might feel right at home with the out-of-this-world food, fun and, most of all, the music. The motto of New Orleans band Bag of Donuts is party like it's Mardi Gras all year long, and when the colorful quartet makes their way to Champagne & Ribs on April 16, they plan to bring a little bit of the Big Easy with them.
You don't have to travel to a galaxy far, far away to be a force for good. Join the Gift of Life Jedi Force and help battle prostate cancer in Southeast Texas at the party of the light year, Champagne & Ribs, on Thursday, April 16, at 6:30 p.m. at Ford Park Exhibit Hall in Beaumont.
Three months into the year and still no breakout hits. Each week brings a new B-movie thriller or lame-o comedy — nothing to really get excited about. That post-award season drought seems to be stretching on into spring, but it won't be long before the summer movie season arrives, and right now the feeling is it couldn't get here soon enough.

Was it just me, or was that one of the longest and most boring Oscar shows in recent history? At one point, I jokingly told my guests that I would have to serve breakfast it Neil Patrick Harris didn't wrap up that predictions-in-the-box joke which, unfortunately, wasn't nearly as funny as he thought it was.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

SARASOTA -- Waldo -- an underwater robot -- has been found.
The robot from the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota had been missing since Monday, but was found Thursday morning back in the spot where he disappeared -- about 11 miles off the coast of Venice in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mote researcher Gary Kirkpatrick says Waldo is back at the laboratory where scientists are sifting through a considerable amount of data Waldo collected.
Kirkpatrick says something may have caused the robot to malfunction and dive to the bottom of the Gulf.
But it's still not known what caused Waldo to return to the surface and begin sending signals again.
The robot cost about $100,000.
It also was equipped with a detector to find red tide, valued at another $30,000.

Before & After: Tween Boy Room
My son turned 9 this summer and instantly declared his room "too baby!" So while he visited his grandparents out of town, I surprised him with a room makeover. We packed up all the sentimental baby stuff, then painted every square inch of his room and most of his furniture. The best part (besides his reaction), was that the entire makeover cost under $300! For more before and after pics, plus a breakdown of all the projects, check out my blog Hi Sugarplum!

my own client's living rooms. Which of these styles would you prefer for your own home?
Hi Hometalkers, These are some of my favorite living rooms that I have seen posted on Hometalk & of course one of
I love the high end rustic style. I'm a traditionalist and love the combination of light, wood, stone and openness.
I think you have to consider the big picture such as the design and style of the rest of the house and it location. How would the living room you pick blend in the with the other factors. European doesn't always blend with American in more ways than one!

Ronn and I attend the 3rd annual Celebrity Gun Shoot in Ojai this past weekend. Our friends at Associated Television put on a first class event as always. It was held at the beautiful Ojai Valley Inn and Spa and we were treated to an amazing awards dinner, in which Ronn First Place in the Handguns. I feel like I've improved very much since our first year attending. I managed to get several shots in the Sporting Clays and Trap competitions. "Housewives of Orange County" star Peggy and Micah Tanous were on our team again, along with "Falling Skies" newcomer Peter Shinkoda who was a very good marksman just like his TV character. We hung with old team mates Frank Stallone and Robert Carradine and I was happy to see Kira and Bob Lorsch attend for the first time. Laura McKenzie who is always terrific and her husband David, daughter Elizabeth and their team at Associated Television makes us feel at home and part of their wonderful family unit with all their events and we cherish them dearly. This event benefited the families of the our military and volunteers of the NRA were on hand to make sure we were all safe. I plan to get some practice in before next year!

I've made millions of pints of jam. This was the 1st time I'd had black sweet cherries to use and the Sure.Jell recipes didn't include a sweet cherry recipe. This recipe uses almond extract which is perfect. The best jam ever!
I made this earlier when the sweet Bing cherries were $2.00 a pound instead of $5.00...I was very pleased with the results. It makes a beautiful jam. I just wish the cherry flavor was a little more distinctive. If I make it again, I will leave the fruit pieces larger (I used a food processor and chopped the fruit a little too finely).
I love cherries and I love cherry jam on toast! This year I added a twist to an old favorite. I used 2 cups of cherries, and 2 cups of crushed pineapple when I made it. Wow, it is so good, I just can't get enough!!!!

Has anyone had a problem with this? As soon as I post a blog entry there's a comment attached to it from this person (?). I delete it immediately, but how can I block these comments from my blog?
Has anyone had a problem with this? As soon as I post a blog entry there's a comment attached to it from this person (?). I delete it immediately, but how can I block these comments from my blog?
just look around - there are many threads about it... As it says in the upper right corner: "Search first" :)
You need to go into your database w/ phpmyadmin and clean out the spam. You've been attacked by a "future posting" bot that stuck in a bunch of spam keyed to post IDs that don't yet exist.
When you post, the spam is associated with the post and pulled out of the DB.
So they're already there, there's no preventing them, just the cleaning it up.
Check out my Spaminator & Spam Words to help kill your spam in the future.
In the first three days of my blog being online, I had over 300 spams in the comments (and filling up my email) from this joker(s). Within a very short time, spaminator and spam words seems to have removed the stinker.
Bless those miracle-makers behind these programming whiz bangs!
Thanks everyone! I looked through the troubleshooting list before I posted, and didn't see anything pertinent. I didn't trust "search" at first because that function has proved useless on other sites.
Has anyone tried setting up decoys besides the renamed posting file?
I have been deleting their messages for a couple of weeks. I went to ARIN''s "Whose Who" and found their IP number and an email address: email@example.com
Today I returned their postings to this address and asked them please stop spamming blogs (yeah, I know, it's mostly a.i.). The score so far is that it takes online poker as much time to make posts as it takes me to delete them AND sent them back their spam...
How much spam can a spammer eat?
up date anon
I just installed spam-words (as well as spaminator) - however, I don't get the button I expect to see under Comments->Mass Edit Mode pertaining to Spam (simply the standard delete butons) . The plugin is activated. I assume I must be missing something obvious - running version 1.2.1 of WordPress. I am running it on a freeBSD server in my office, so I have full access to the system.
Thanks for any input!
To stop the poker guy who seems to comment on your posts as soon as they are posted, you need to use TG's code: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/spam/#six
The hilarious thing is that the site advertised usually has been taken down before the spamment is posted!

The image editing software market is filled with a large variety of programs that want to grab a slice of Photoshop's share, but the truth is that there aren't many that can seriously compete against it. Luckily, onOne software has released the last member of its image treatment family, specialized on photo retouching called Perfect Photo Suite 8 available in digital format to download. Thankfully, this photo edit software includes a full list of tools and functions that can compete one-on-one against Adobe's flagship in similar ways.
The application is designed mostly for photographers that want to fix some aspect of their works in a quick and easy way. For this reason, Perfect Photo Suite 8 includes some tools and general functions that are too time-consuming for other similar programs, however in this program, they are planned to be used in a simple way. On the other hand, if you are used to other image making applications, this suite probably works seamlessly within it since it is supported as a plugin by the main editor programs like Photoshop Elements, Lightroom or Apple Aperture. In any way, Perfect Photo Suite is also a great standalone program.
It includes some tools and general functions that in other similar programs are too time-consuming, while, in this program, they are planned to be used in a simple way
Perfect Photo Suite 8 is oriented to the retouching process for photographs instead of creating new pictures from scratch, as is the case with other image maker applications. The great part comes when you start using tools for the first time, and the application gives you hints about their correct use. Free video tutorials are also available for learning tips and tricks from experts and the developers. The application also incorporates an advanced browser that can even analyze online services in which you have stored your files, very quickly browsing all your content, no matter where they are.
This image-processing program includes a large list of full-featured tools built-in, with customizable settings according to your preferences. This way you can use adjustable functions such as the available filters for applying them in the right way, as well as checking how the effects will result with the live preview. Amongst its new features, you will find a portrait enhancer tool, HDR functions for getting better results with color, dynamic contrast, grunge, vintage and antique filters included by default without the need to download more free plugins.
The complete library of effects that is included is something quite overwhelming to start with. Each effect can be painted thanks to the perfect brush for advanced and accurate results. Among its effects, the Lens Blur effect from FocalPoint allows the users to apply better blur effects than before. The Mask feature gives you the possibility to replace the background or any element in the picture quickly and very easily, with high quality samples and without any problem treating parts like hair or irregular outlines.
The black & white tool helps the user to create retro-style images for enthusiasts with professional presets that give you great results immediately without too much difficulty. The retouching brush allows the user to fix some details in the image. The good news comes when you check the opacity level and see that you can adjust its effects, making the tool more realistic, without overloading the image with an artificial aspect. The section Perfect Photo Suite 8 includes tools for making some enhancements, and introduces a tool for adjusting brightness and contrast, removing color cast from the picture, adding sharpening and vignettes and even removing dust spots and power-lines from your photos.
As with other many image maker applications, the layers are the main aspect of its workflow. It allows combining the best parts of multiple images performing functions like replacing elements of the image or removing distractions instantly. For portraits, the potential improvements are really top class. The automatic skin smoothing is a good example of that. The enhancement of specific body parts like teeth and eyes with an instant tool makes Perfect Photo Suite 8 a really good image suite for your photography work.
Perfect Photo Suite 8 8.5.1 Features
Check the main list of features that this application includes:
- Great tools designed specifically for photographers, without having too many worries about extraneous elements
- Adjustable filters and effects for a customizable image aspect and professional presets
- Fully compatible with other image edit software available for PC and Mac OS X such as Photoshop, Lightroom or Apple Aperture
- Cutting-edge technology creating outstanding image quality and HDR effects
- Browse module included for managing your images no matter where they are stored, either on your local disk or in cloud storage services
- Create natural and realistic portraits with the specified stylization tools simultaneously with other advanced functions
- Time-saving mask tools for replacing backgrounds and replicating the ones you like with its astonishing collection
- Support for plugins you can download for adding new tools and effects
For further details before installing the application on your computer, check the official product webpage.

Be More Like A Professional Photographer And Share Your Photos Online
By Beatrice Tan
On Friday, January 30, 2015
It's undeniable that millions of people nowadays are already fond of using the top social media sites. I can say that it is already part of the lifestyle, to the extent that their days won't be complete if they have not visited or updated their accounts on these sites. Most of these social media sites include photo sharing where users can upload photos and share it to the whole world.
I love photography and I also love sharing these photos to my friends online. I'm also amazed with some software in the market that offers photo editing. But what I usually use is the Perfect Photo Suite. This editing tool is such a great help not only to the point that I can edit and beautify my photos but its just simply amazing because it adds spice to my photographs. The interface might be confusing for first time users but will eventually be familiarized with the tools once they got to use each one of them. This editing tool really produces high quality photographs. If you think you can not find the right effect that you want to apply on your photos, this editing software supports plugins wherein users can download their desired tools and effects and add it on the system.
Over all, this really works cool for me.
- There are many editing tools to choose from
- There are many filters and effects
- The application sometimes slows down
Capture your moments as professionals do with Perfect Photo Suite app!
By Elizabeth Tweetee
On Friday, July 18, 2014
Perfect Photo Suite is a photo touch up software created for professional photographers mainly. The software lets you produce dream like results from the photographs you captured. It consists of great touch up tools, predefined filters and effects for extending your creative edge.
One who knows the basic terms of digital photography such as exposure, aperture, levels etc. can produce images of outstanding quality with a few clicks. There are no photoshoppy to be mastered for handling the software; just the basics needed. You can create HDR effects or natural tones with pixel perfection. The software is also compatible with other image editors including Photoshop and Apple Aperture.
As the name suggests, Perfect Photo Suite is perfect for doing advanced touch-ups for your stock or online photos, but it is not a substitute for Photoshop. It is meant for corrections such as fixing lighting issues, lens flares etc. Do not expect any surreal manipulation techniques in this software. If you need to get that too, use the software as an extension of Photoshop. You will see wonders!
- Wide range of editing options and filters
- After shoot lighting fix available
- Compatible with apple aperture and photoshop
- Not affordable at that much high price

Crossing Boundaries
Two Family Stories from the Reformation and Modern America
Craig Harline
Yale University Press, $27.50, 320 pp.
Craig Harline's captivating book about the family dynamics of conversion gives the reader a three-for-one. Interwoven chapter by chapter are two stories: the conversion from Dutch Reformed Protestantism to Catholicism of Jacob Rolandus in seventeenth-century Holland, and the double conversion of a friend of Harline's in twentieth-century California, first from evangelical Protestantism to Mormonism and then from Mormonism to life as a homosexual. The third story concerns the author himself, whose serendipitous archival discoveries, Mormon background, and personal ruminations make him a visible presence throughout the book.
Harline can relate the story of Jacob Rolandus in riveting detail because he discovered in the National Archives of Belgium a journal that Rolandus kept in 1654 and 1655, the period of his conversion, and because further archival sleuthing unearthed a wealth of correspondence, local documents, and church records relevant to the story. Jacob's father and grandfather were pastors in the Dutch Reformed Church. They were both held in high regard for their ability to expose the perfidious errors of Roman Catholicism. But Jacob's father fell into seemingly unending contentions with his clerical peers, and the family's move to Boxtel, a small town in southeastern Holland with a predominately Catholic population, precipitated another round of controversy involving the Rev. Rolandus and local Protestants...

Shutterstock / FeatureFlash, ParamountThe search for actors for "Transformers 4" just became interesting.
Paramount Pictures announced it will be casting Chinese roles for the next installment in the franchise through a reality show in China.
"Transformers 4 Chinese Actor Talent Search" will be a talent competition with four winners—two of whom will have previous acting experience—receiving roles in the next film.
The four winners from the show will join other Chinese actors expected to be cast in the film.
At a press conference in Beijing Thursday, producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura said adding more Chinese actors to the film will help bring "the Chinese culture, Chinese traditions, and Chinese talent into the movie."
Earlier this month, Paramount Pictures announced that "Transformers 4" will be a Chinese co-production which will include filming in the China.
The series will begin airing this June in China.
Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci have been confirmed for the next film.
"Transformers 4" is slated for a June 27 release next year.

Alcatraz Island x Upper Playground: Alcatraz Island Mugs (Set of 2)Glassware
Price: $29.97
No Longer Available
(Get e-mailed if ever back in stock)
Product Details
SummaryThe Heritage Preservation Society pays homage to the notorious island penitentiary of Alcatraz with this double "mug" set. The Alcatraz Mugs feature two of the prison's most infamous jailbirds, "Al" and the "Birdman".
Franklin Stroud also known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz" became an inmate of the island in 1942. Having spent much of his life jailed, he earned his nickname from rescuing and rearing birds while behind bars. The Birdman even sold canaries, while imprisoned at Alcatraz during his 17-year stretch.
panish for pelican, Alcatraz was first a military prison in 1868, and prior to which, the native Ohlone Indians believed the island to be cursed. In 1933 it became a federal slammer and soon earned its reputation for housing the toughest crooks in the country. Operating for only 30 years, Alcatraz closed in 1963 but to this day remains a national landmark.
The mugs feature mug sketches, hand-illustrated and in limited quantity of 130 sets.

AUBURN, Wash. (AP) — A Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway spokesman says a person attempting to cross BNSF's rail yard in the south Seattle suburb of Auburn was hit and killed Tuesday evening by a northbound Amtrak train.
Spokesman Gus Melonas said investigators could not immediately determine the victim's gender.
Witnesses say the person apparently climbed through an idle freight train, then stepped in front of the approaching Amtrak train shortly after 6 p.m.
Melonas says passenger and freight train traffic through the area was temporarily delayed.

Macoun: A crossbreed of the McIntosh and Jersey Black cultivars, the Macoun apple is regarded as one of the best all-purpose cooking apples around. This dark red fruit with creamy white flesh is soft, tender and perfect for sauce. It has a sweet, rich apple flavor with hints of berry.
McIntosh: This apple has been loved since John McIntosh discovered seedlings in Ontario in 1811. The tender white flesh is crisp when freshly harvested, but soon adopts a softer consistency, making it perfect for cooking into pies or sauce. Macs are sweet and juicy with a pleasant tanginess.
Mutsu: The Mutsu apple, also called Crispin, is a large, yellowish-green fruit with an orange blush and juicy, tender-crisp, coarse-grained flesh. This cross between Golden Delicious and the Japanese Indo has a complex, spicy-sweet flavor reminiscent of anise and is great for eating or baking.
Northern Spy: This red-, gold- and green-striped apple has a limited availability in the U.S.—while growing, the fruit is fragile and susceptible to several common afflictions. A Northern Spy tree may take up to 14 years to bear fruit, so it is frequently grafted onto other apple trees to encourage growth. It's worth the wait, though—this apple is tart and juicy-crisp, with finely textured flesh that holds its shape well, perfect for pie and other baking uses.
Paula Red: This early-ripening variation of the McIntosh is soft and nicely balanced between sweet and tart, cooking down perfectly into sauces. Its dusty red skin with gold and tan spots yields to tender, slightly mealy white flesh with a flavor evocative of strawberries.

If Congress needs help next month deciding whether to make spending cuts or raise the debt ceiling, a group of local high school students will have at least one potential solution for them.
A group of about 15 students from Whiteland Community High School spent their winter break researching taxes, foreign policy and entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicaid. Next week when school is back in session the students, who are a part of the high school's first politics club, will present what they've learned about the cost of Social Security and government-run health insurance, where cuts can be made and where additional funding can come from.
Then members will debate the best way to raise taxes or cut spending on government programs and vote on a long-term solution to balance the national budget. A plan that receives a majority vote from the students then will be sent to members of Indiana's congressional delegation, history teacher and club sponsor Justin Brownfield said.
"It's the idea that compromise can be done, even in a high school in the middle of Indiana," he said.
What: Whiteland Community High School politics club, about 15 students who meet outside class to discuss political issues
Whom it's open to: Students with an interest in politics
Ongoing goal: To get more students from Whiteland interested in politics through student debates or aiding with campaigns.
Current project: Club members spent winter break researching possible solutions to the "fiscal cliff."When school resumes next week they'll debate and vote on a long-term solution. They'll then send what they've come up with to Hoosiers in Congress.
The politics club was founded to give Whiteland's students more opportunities to discuss politics outside class. The goal of the club is to provide more students chances to debate and to encourage them to find ways to participate in campaigns, Brownfield said.
The idea for the club's project came as Brownfield and his students were following the presidential election. After the second presidential debate, the students, who include independents, Republicans and Democrats, started talking more about the Jan. 1 deadline when spending cuts and tax hikes automatically took effect — otherwise known as the fiscal cliff.
Brownfield initially came up with the idea of challenging the students to come up with a balanced national budget. But after hearing them talk, he asked them to find a solution to the fiscal cliff.
"They decided they didn't want to just sit around and talk politics. They wanted to do something about it," he said.
Before winter break the students discussed and debated whether it was necessary to raise taxes and if any government programs can be cut. Nearly everyone agreed that taxes should be raised, but similar to Congress they couldn't agree on the amount: some wanted taxes to increase for households making more than $250,000 per year, others for households making more than $450,000 per year, Brownfield said.
The students also were concerned about programs such as Social Security. Club members want to find a way to preserve the program for today's seniors, but they also know the current rate of spending will wipe out funding by the time they're ready to retire, Brownfield said.
Before the club left for break Brownfield broke the students into groups of three and assigned them topics such as taxes, Social Security reform, health care and foreign policy to research during the break. He wanted them to become experts in their assigned areas, and he regularly emailed them during break to make sure they were keeping up with their research and to answer any questions they had.
Junior Nicolé Gaviola, one of the club's student founders, researched some of each topic over break but was especially interested in the sales tax. He'd like to see the federal government require more consistency, so the sales tax doesn't vary from state to state, he said.
As he spoke with other students, Gaviola started to see other debates topics arising. One member, for example, believes the U.S. is spending too much on the military and plans to advocate spending cuts in that area.
"There are many varied opinions, from conservative to liberal, throughout the club," he said.
During winter break, Brownfield also received multiple messages from students who were watching this week's fiscal cliff coverage and who wanted to know what would happen if Congress couldn't reach any agreements over spending and taxes.
Gaviola, an independent, said he was following the fiscal cliff debate because he's concerned about what kinds of taxes he and his younger siblings will have to pay as adults and about how that money will be spent.
When the students return next week and the club reconvenes, the students in each group will present all of the benefits and consequences that come with raising taxes and cutting spending to various programs. Gaviola will moderate as the students create and vote on a plan to balance the budget.
"They're trying to pull out areas to where they can make things more balanced and make sense in terms of not overspending, making (programs) that are there available for everybody, including them once they reach retirement age," Brownfield said.
He said he hopes the students can agree on a plan within the next month. That will give them time to send what they've decided on to representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate before debate over the budget resumes again in February.
Brownfield expects that debate over taxes and spending will get even more contentious. But Gaviola hopes that members of Congress who receive the plan will see that compromise is possible.
"Hopefully, they will see that high school students can actually make a compromise," he said.

Me & My car
Columnist Jonathan Welsh answers readers' questions about automobiles
Q: I have a 2006 Lexus SC430 with 31,000 miles, and my dealership told me I should have a special 30,000-mile service for $500, which mainly consists of cleaning the intake injectors and cleaning the inside part of the engine. That's in addition to a brake flush for $140, a power-steering flush for $130 and a differential service for $90. Do you think I need those services for my Lexus?
—Sharon Kleinik, Nokomis, Ill.
A: The problem with expensive service visits like this is that they include so many items that may not be necessary, along with a few that are. Your car probably needs an oil change and not much more. I'm suspicious of the power-steering flush and differential service. I would make sure each item has the proper fluid level and drive on.
Q: My 2003 Volkswagen (currently at 65,000 miles) will not go into reverse. Only occasionally and when hot will it go. The dealer has looked at electronics and mechanical issues but has not fixed it. He suggested a whole new transmission, but that hardly seems the way to repair something, and there was no guarantee that the problem would not recur. Advice?
—Jim Langley, Sugar Land, Texas
A: I have read and heard many accounts of similar transmission troubles with Volkswagen Beetles and other models. When it used to happen to my father's 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, he would tighten the shift-linkage rods from underneath the car. After that it would work fine for another six months or so.
Since it may be mechanical problem that the diagnostic computer cannot identify, you might be better off bringing the car to a local transmission shop instead of the dealership.
Q: My son's beloved 1999 Nissan Pathfinder has a random, recurring instrument cluster malfunction. I was recently driving the car at approximately 60 mph when suddenly the speedometer dropped to 0, the temperature gauge red lined, the gas gauge zeroed and the tachometer hung up at approximately 3,000 RPMs. The next day when the car was started, everything had returned to normal. Any suggestions that would avoid a trip to the crusher?

A: Nissans have a reputation for disconcerting dashboard problems that cause the gauges to act strangely. Since the vehicle returns to normal after resting for awhile, I suspect the problem has something to do with electronic components overheating. It sounds like a job for a shop that specializes in automotive electrical systems.
Q: How important is it to have easy access to the dealer after the sale? We live in the [sticks] and are considering a VW Jetta Sportwagen diesel. However, the nearest VW dealer is 100-miles away in another state. Do you like this selection for a couple who prefers lots of space and sometimes hauls around the two grandsons? We are also interested in fuel economy and reliability and have never driven a diesel.
—Joyce Lewis, Confederate, Ky.
A: The Jetta Sportwagen diesel is one of my favorite cars, so I think it will be worth the potential inconveniences of not having a dealer nearby. Still, you should find an independent shop that can at least take care of things like oil changes, tune-ups and other periodic maintenance tasks. By doing without dealer support you could actually come out ahead financially. After all, VW dealers are known for expensive service.
