"A must read for Active Duty, Veterans, and family"
This book is a riot, Chris Kyle... I salute you. I am 82 ABN veteran, and this book sums up all the emotions that somehow Veterand cant figure out how to explain to anyone, even ourselves. This book made me laugh made me smile and made me understand, it also made me Proud to be an Amreican, something the Author would be proud to know. It also made me very proud to have worn the Uniform with pride and respect.
"Rough and tumble Texas boy makes USA proud"
This book is a fascinating account of someone that lived a horrifying scenario without blinking. A Navy Seal, a man, a dad, a patriot, and a Christian which laid his life on the line for his fellow fighting forces, and in his belief his country, all to prevent evil from succeeding. Say what you want to about agreeing with the man, but call him a true man and a hero in the process. He is non-political. He is just a man that answered a call to duty from his country, and was extremely lethal at the task given. This single minded soul, concentrated on the task at hand and accomplished what we asked of him.
If you are looking for a book that questions patriotism, the reasons the USA went to war, move on to another book. However, if you want a glimpse in to a well trained mind that had a little fun along the way, and a few hardships, then this is a great book for you.
"It didn't do it for me"
I felt the story was so boring.
the constant references to Texas and manhood... and blah blah blah.... very boring to hear a grown man talk about himself so much
oh God.... it was painful to listen to this guy narrate this book. Horrible narrator.
Anger and disappointment.
I didn't finish it all.... that bad
I had read Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell several years ago and was excited to read another fascinating Seal story. Unfortunately I didn't find American Sniper a cant put it down type of book that Lone Survivor was. The flow of the story seemed choppy with small stories here and there. Chris Kyle certainly has an admirable military career, but his arrogance and pompous attitude was a turn off.
Listening to the narrator's poor attempt at a Texas accent was difficult to listen to and downright annoying. I hoped I would get used to it by the end of the book but never did.
I struggled to finish the book and was glad when I did. Hopefully the movie is better.
"Too much bible and flag waving for me."
Although I admire the skills and the discipline I can't abide the blind devotion to a government driven by greed controlled by the puppet strings of the likes of Haliburton. The fact that we were at war was all the reason Kyle needed to kill his targets. He forgets that we invaded a country under false pretenses. There were no WMDs! How does he know all his targets were "truly evil" like he says when some were more than a thousand yards away? I guess you have to possess the mind set of a soldier to pull off the stunts he did. It makes me sick that we can use good men like Kyle to do our dirty work while brainwashing them with rhetoric so that Cheny and his ilk can line their pockets.
San Diego Guy
"Too much bragging"
A little.
Sure, the reader was fine.
The sniper. His good vs. evil outlook felt too shallow.
It felt at times like he was talking about Call of Duty instead of real human lives. To hear him describe how he killed two combatants with one shot -- it felt more like bragging.
"Good story but the narration killed it for me"
Could not recommend
The Texas accent that the narrator adopted felt forced, wasn't that good and was unnecessary. After several hours of listening to words pronounced without the trailing letter G, I couldn't take it anymore. Messin and drivin and divin and shootin got old.
Let's face it, these authors aren't paying me, so there's no need to lie!!
"Raw, Real, and flows well"
I've read most of the audible books on SEALS. This is the best by far. It doesn't go into too much detail on SEAL stuff, but gives you just enough to tell the story. And oh what a story it is! Chris has lived a VERY exciting life. He gives insight into the way a SEAL thinks, and even criticizes the leadership quite a bit. This book is good for the military man, as well as the civilian; pretty much anyone who has an interest in the SEALS as people....not so much their tactics.
"NOT Whitefeather"
While i am indebted to Mr. Kyle for his service to our country and have do not doubt his achievements, this was in my opinion a slow and badly pasted together story when compared to many other military genre books I've read and listened to. The narrator tried too hard in his imitation of a Texas good ole boy. Chris Kyle also seemed braggadocios to me and attempted to badly cover this with stale humble statements after the fact. I found myself drifting off quite often during this book and that is something that has never happened to me while listening to a soldiers autobiography. If your a screw-em all patriot crusader who doesnt mind a little covered bragging and badly imitated Texas accents, you might like this book. I would rather re listen to Whitefeather any day.
"Bad Narration"
Ok, this will probably do no good since this is so prevalent in audiobooks but just because your main character is from Texas; that does not mean you need to perform a bad imitation of Will Ferrell doing a bad imitation of George W. Bush.
As a native Texan, the narrator's accent was just so irritating. Or should I say

Syria rebels kill ruling party official with bomb
A rebel fighter takes cover as he looks back up at a warplane attacking rebel positions during heavy clashes between rebel fighters and the Syrian army on Saturday, Nov. 03, 2012. (AP / Narciso Contreras)
The Associated Press
Published Thursday, November 29, 2012 6:20AM EST
BEIRUT -- Syrian rebels have bombed the house of a top member of the president's ruling Baath party in the south, and activists say he was killed.
Rebels detonated a car bomb near the house of Hussein Rifai in the city of Daraa, killing him and three of his bodyguards Thursday, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The Observatory relies on reports from the ground.
The official SANA news agency reported the bombing in Daraa but did not say if Rifai was among those killed.
Daraa is the birthplace of the uprising against President Bashar Assad. Rebels fighting to topple him have frequently targeted members of his regime since the revolt started in March 2011.
The uprising became a civil war that has killed more than 40,000 people.

Islay is usually associated with peaty single malt whiskies, and it is unsurprising for the three powerhouse distilleries on its south coast, that have become world famous, produce some exceptional peaty single malt whiskies. Ardbeg, Laphroaig and Lagavulin all enjoy a sort of cult status. There are also some less peaty drams. Take Bunnahabhain. The distillery sits to the north of the isle and produces fruitier single malts. There is also the Bruichladdich distillery, which is known for their experimental stance when producing single malt, as well as Caol Ila and the newer farm-distillery of Kilchoman, both of which are usually peated, but not to the same level as the three mentioned at the top. Single malt whisky must be produced at a single distillery, from nothing other than yeast, water and malted barley before being distilled in pot stills and matured for a minimum of three years and a day in oak casks.

As Windows 8 launches, the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini continue to see long ordering delays, Android exceeds 1M activations a day and RIM prepares BlackBerry 10 for early 2013, the app market is poised for continued growth.
The Strategy Analytics App Ecosystem Opportunities (AEO) forecast - Mobile Apps Revenue Forecast: 2008 – 2017 – predicts by 2017 the mobile app smartphone market will generate more than $35B growing from less than $1B in 2009. The app market will be driven by more targeted advertising, growing consumer interest in virtual goods and the adoption of subscription business models.
So popular are alternative business models that while paid downloads accounted for nearly 70 percent of revenue in 2009 the business model will account for less than 36 percent of total revenue in 2017. Advertising will grow to generate the most revenue by 2013 as companies invest more in in-app advertising, improved targeting helps maintain CPMs, and more developers rely on advertising to drive revenue.
According to Josh Martin, Director of Apps Research, "The battle for developers is on and supporting recurring revenue streams is essential to gaining developer support. It is for this reason that Microsoft and Research in Motion are ensuring their new platforms support in-app purchase and subscription in addition to paid downloads and advertising at launch. They continue to battle for third place as the forecast shows Apple's and Google's app stores dominating revenue generation for developers throughout the forecast period."

This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Brass Elementz 1 contains 400 brass stabs, chords, and riffs across 26 multi-format sampler presets representing the latest trends in Hip Hop production. The set is organized into 2 main sub-categories titled "Brass Chordz-n-Riffz" and "Brass Instruments":
The Brass Chordz-n-Riffz presets are arranged for ease of use and grouped according to pitch, key, and duration. Certain longer chord riffs include corresponding shorter samples on adjacent keys giving users more control over creativity. Additionally, as users play higher up each preset layout, chords naturally migrate into higher key groupings.
The Brass Instrument presets contain matching instrument layouts and are categorized according to their timbre: Normal (Smooth), Classic (Moderate Overdrive), and Xtreme (Hard Overdrive) versions. The arrangement offers users a large array of textures to choose from while also allowing for seamless swapping between instruments within a sequence.
The soundset is sold as a multi-format product for all major software samplers. Native formats include HALion, EXS24, Kontakt, Battery, Reason's NN-XT, SF2, and Wav.

The show must go on
'Freddie' has them dancing in the aislesREVIEWED BY COLLETTE DEVLIN
Relevant offers
It was an ass slappin', toe tappin' night at the Civic Theatre in Invercargill last night when Freddie Mercury impersonator Gary Mullen and his band The Works came to town for the final show of their four-week New Zealand tour.
Freddie Mercury lives on in Mullen's energetic performance and outstanding vocal range.
With the same flamboyant stage persona and highly theatrical style as Mercury, he kept the audience entertained for about two hours.
Replicating Mercury's famous, skin-tight, white pants and shirtless torso, he gyrated his hips, flexed his legs and cheekily slapped his bottom through hits including Under Pressure, Somebody to Love, Radio GaGa, We Will Rock You and finished with We are the Champions.
Throughout his performance, like Mercury, Mullen held the audience in the palm of his hand and charmed them into participating in the show.
At first, the reluctant audience were slow to warm and did little more than clap for the first few songs but with a some coaxing from Mullen and a few fans in the front row showing how it should be done, the party finally started.
Cheeky remarks such as:"If you came here to sit on your asses and look at mine, then leave now ... don't be boring, get up and party" eventually got the audience into joining in with the show.
By the end of the night, everyone in the Civic was dancing down the aisles, waving their arms and singing along, just having a good time.
The show must go on for Mullen who returns to the UK today but if you missed this performance make sure to catch him when he returns to New Zealand in 2014.

This modern executive fully furnished home offers everything! Starting with in floor heating to three large bathrooms. A huge heated garage to store all your gear for your off road adventures as well as everything you will need to catch fish is included. Large Freezer in garage to store all your catch! Kodiak is Alaska's emerald isle and features scenic coastlines and wildlife all around. Kodiak's road system offers excellent year-round fishing opportunities. Fifteen rivers and streams will keep you busy when not exploring this very special part of Alaska.
Keywords: Kodiak Alaska Executive Vacation Rental Modern House is your home away from home.
Located close to everything!
2500 square feet with plenty of room to sleep 8. Very clean home with all the latest gadgets and goodies to make you feel right at home.
We had an amazing week on Kodiak. This house was perfect for a family with older children. Everyone had their own space. This was the most equipped house we have ever rented before and very nice items. I would stay here again when we go back to Kodiak. The owner was great at recommending outfits to call for adventures like fishing, ATV riding and bear viewing. Everyone they recommended was just the same - EXCEPTIONAL!!! Excellent house to rent and great helpful owners to rent from. Highly recommend this home if your looking to have a large place to yourself!
My company used this house to stay in Kodiak for over a week while we attended the NPFMC meetings in Kodiak. The house is spacious and pristine, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the owners are friendly and very helpful. It was a wonderful oasis of peace amidst a whirlwind of work. I highly recommend this listing.
Amazing place to stay ... like your own little Four Seasons hotel in God's country! Kitchen was great, Relaxation was almost too good -- made it tough to leave the mansion to go on our sight-seeing and fishing excursions. What a place to come back to at the end of a great day of adventures! ... And I gotta say ... that Yorkey guy the owner sent to come by to check on us and make sure we had everything we need, he gave us the best fishing places bar none! No way we are not coming back to this Bear Lodge Heaven as we liked to call it! Thanks for taking great care of our group!
Had a wonderful time on Kodiak and having a beautiful home to ourselves to go to each night made our Kodiak visit even more special. The home is in a wonderful location which is close to stores but still felt like we were away from the crowds. Very quiet and clean neighborhood. All the amenities the home has to offer made us want to stay longer. Felt like our home away from home.
My coworkers and I stayed at the executive home for 5 nights and we were not disappointed! The house is beautiful and centrally located. You can not ask for more in Kodiak! And John the owner is amazing to work with! We enjoyed our time there and just booked an additional 4 more stays.
Great Place to stay. Only place we could find that had six beds and enough bathrooms for six adult males. Good location close to grocery stores and wallmart Nice big screen tv with satellite. Very comfortable with plenty of room and freezer in garage for fish storage. Kodiak is a great place to visit
House is only a few miles from world class salmon fishing. Close to everything!

I haven't read the short story, so I can't tell if it was adapted well or not, but almost everything was perfect, except for the voice acting. The voice for Owen is good, don't get me wrong, but he's not exactly perfect.
Still, good animation.
mmm i dont know
it was pretty good but the voices sounded nothing like the people from the movie try again.
I would give this a more precise rating of 9.5 out of 10, for one main reason. The voice acting. It was typicalyl good, but the actor portraying Uncle Owen needed to express more emotion in his dialoge. His speech really took away from the entire piece.
As a fan adaptation of a comic book, excellent transition. As a fan movie of Star Wars, very clean. As a flash animation on its own, outstanding.
Everything about this made me enjoy it. From the use of a 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio, to the clean chararter art and sound effects / foley make this a true viewing experience.
Well done.
Good animation...
LOL, i literally just read this comic then came online and found this adaptation. This animation was very well done. I especially liked how you portrayed the suns. One small thing that kinda bothered me is that I can't see anywhere on here where you state that this idea was taken from somewhere else, and a few of your reviewers have gotten the impression that the story and the scenes came from you (which they didn't). This was based on a story written by Aaron McBride and published in a comic special called "Star Wars: Visionaries" which was a collection of Star Wars stories written by the concept artists that worked on the prequels. Other than that, great work on the amination, and the voice acting was pretty good too.
You are complete blind then.
saw it before but nice to see the artists name lol
hehe nice movie awesome which kind of flash cs3 or cs2 (i didnt see the credits).

Using Adobe PDF presets
Using Adobe PDF presets
I am going to go ahead and look at how to create PDF presets. I am going to go underneath my File menu and pick Adobe PDF Presets > Define. I am going to click PDF/X-4. Now, this is a really great preset that I use all the time. It supports live transparency among other things, and I'll cover this in another movie. Next, I am going to hit New. I am going to name this PDFX4_marks+bleed. Next, I am going to click on Marks and Bleed, and I want to choose All Printer's Marks.
Next, I want to make sure that my Crop Marks and Registration Marks are 12 points, or 0.1667 inches from my live area. Next, I am going to change my Bleed from zero to an eighth inch, so 0.125. I am going to click OK. Now I notice in my Adobe PDF Presets I have this new preset I just created. If I want to, I can click on Edit to modify it. I can go ahead and make any changes.
I can make a PDF preset that includes spreads, and if I did that, I'd want to change the name to indicate my new setting. And I can go ah...

This intelligent film is a work of true originality. It is a coming-of-age story full of complicated emotions, but its style of storytelling is elegantly simple. Eugene (Nickles) and Jackie (Graham) are both young, drifting soul-searchers who have been wounded by their life experiences. They separately stumble upon a mystical "wind tunnel" which enables them to communicate to each other, carrying their voices across hundreds of miles of desert. This strange phenomenon allows them an intimacy they've never imagined-- despite the fact that the two have never even met face to face-- and the experience transforms them. Although shot on a very modest budget, the cinematography is first-rate, handling both the sweeping shots of the picturesque Southwestern landscape and the firelit close-ups of the actors' expressive faces with equal skill. This film is clearly the product of the filmmakers' passion to convey something meaningful to people (rather than the usual cheap desire to set box office records). It's a moving story about hope, true love and the perseverance of the human spirit. A unique, artistic achievement.

Guardians of the Galaxy Draws Record-Breaking Female Audience
Photo: Courtesy of Marvel Studios.
Think Marvel superhero flicks are just for the guys? Wrong. While it's true that men usually make up the vast majority of the megacorp's moviegoers, the times seem to be a changing. Enter Marvel's latest movie, Guardians of the Galaxy.
According to exit polling, women made up 44% of the audience on opening weekend — a record-breaking number for Marvel Studios films. The Avengers, which brought in a 40% female audience, holds the second-highest percentage. Sure, Guardians doesn't lead by a whopping margin, but we're hopeful it's indicative of an upward trend. And, perhaps it means movie studio executives will finally start realizing the power of the female ticket-holder. (Meanwhile, the stats for female on-screen representation are still grim, to say the least.) Only time will tell. (Box Office Mojo)

Henry IV, Part Two
Henry IV, Part Two
Bantam Classics, Mass Market Paperbound, 9780553212945, 320pp.
Publication Date: January 1, 1988
The stirring continuation of the themes begun in Henry IV, Part One again pits a rebellion within the State and that master of misrule, Falstaff, against the maturing of Prince Hal. Alternating scenes between bawdy tavern and regal court, between revelry and politics, Shakespeare probes at the sources, uses, and responsibilities of power as an old king dies and a young king must choose between a ruler's solemn duty and a merry but dissipated friend, Falstaff. The play represents Shakespeare at the peak of his maturity in writing historical drama and comedy.
Like many of his contemporaries, including Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare began his career on the stage, eventually rising to become part-owner of Lord Chamberlain s Men, a popular dramatic company of his day, and of the storied Globe Theatre in London.
Extremely popular in his lifetime, Shakespeare s works continue to resonate more than three hundred years after his death. His plays are performed more often than any other playwright s, have been translated into every major language in the world, and are studied widely by scholars and students.
David Bevington is Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago. His recent publications include "Shakespeare: The Seven Ages of Human Experience" (second edition, 2005) and "Shakespeare: Script, Stage, Screen" (with Anne Marie Welsh and Michael L. Greenwald, 2006). He has also edited the Bantam Shakespeare in 29 volumes (currently being reedited), "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" (fifth edition, 2003), and a number of individual Shakespeare plays including "Antony and Cleopatra," "Henry IV, Part I," and "Troilus and Cressida,"

Failed to cast a spell on me.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Merrick (Paperback)
I find this book to be a massive improvement on the turgid prose of its predecessors, The Vampire Armand and that attempted re-write of Dante's superior work, Memnoch the Devil. However, this book is by no means anywhere on a par with the first three novels in a previously compelling series.
Although Rice's prose has improved a little, the characterisation of Louis and Lestat is totally unforgivable. Louis, that dark, sensual vampire of "Interview With the Vampire" is terribly twisted now. His reasoning-- can there be redemption for a killer-- is discarded because he wants, like any teenager, 'to belong'. Ahh.
And Merrick, well, she drinks rum. And she's spiritually talented. She's clever and loved instantly by *every* character and despite the nasty trick she performs on Louis, is forgiven, because she's so lovable. That's characterisation so shallow that you can see the words on the other side of the page. Or, for the unitiated, it's what many writers call a 'Mary-Sue', a beautiful, amazing person based on the author with no faults whatsoever.
So, are there any strengths?
Well, yes, sort of. What I will say for this book is that, as someone who loves the sheer *feel* of New Orleans-- that mixture of heat and the occult and offbeat history-- it is beautifully portrayed in this book. For that reason alone, it merits the two stars.
I'm also annoyed at those who proclaim that if we don't like these drastic changes, we can lump it. What a silly suggestion-- the people who loved those first books and rushed out to buy them made Rice's career. I think we are right to expect a good adventure, or none at all. Because these new titles are a serious burden to Rice's credibility as a good author-- it is particuarly damaging to the classic "Interview With the Vampire."
In sum, if you don't care for canon, and like your characters changing out of all recognition, go ahead and buy it. If you don't care about the characters anyway, and want some beautiful descriptions of Louisiana, then, yes, buy it, because that is the strength of the novel. If, however, you're expecting a good read on the par with her earlier works, steer clear. You'll only feel cheated at the end.
Go and re-read Interview, or, spend your money on a groundbreaking new author, not a deteriorating one.

Miketang says:
Unfortunately it happens to all authors - even Virgil or Shakespeare. They run out of steam or invention and recycle the old or fail to live up to their past best. Especially prolific authors. Maybe Rice needs to take a chill to re-charge, but perhaps that's tough for a writing obsessive! No one can keep up the same high standard always. It's nice, however, just to keep in touch with the background.

Yes, literally, the Roanoke Rescue Mission has asked for 2 or 4 teams of photographers from Exposure Roanoke who have the cameras and the talents to capture their remarkable 7th annual public service called BACK 2 School BLAST on August 12.
Can you deal with large groups of children? Can you handle difficult technical lighting situations? Can you add variety to photo compositions? Can you work in teams of two, a photographer and an assistant, then alternate to deliver the processed images by a short time deadline on a DVD or USB drive? Then be one of the first 8 to sign up for this meetup!
So, the first 8 people who sign up for this meetup will be offered the slots to document this 7th year of giving to the community on August 12 from 4:30 to 7:30 PM:
We will hold a meetup for organizing and planning and practicing Event Photography on August 5 from 7pm to 9pm at the Mill Mountain Star picnic pavilion between the overlooks:
This will be an optional planning meetup on the 5th for anyone and everyone interested in Event Photography in general. It will be a mandatory meeting for those planning on taking part in the Back2School BLAST on the 12th. It is necessary because it is for assignments of areas of responsibility, it is to form teams that will have practice shooting and posing, it is set up cameras and flashes to so the flashes work on wireless optical remotes and on radio triggered remotes, and it is a meeting to set up the teams that will work as a unit to avoid confusion when the action starts. So, as you can see attendance at the planning, practice, discussion, preliminary meeting on the 5th is necessary to be an effective member of the team on the 12th. Any one of us may not need practice but the reason we each need to be there on the 5th is not so much because we need the practice, but it's because other people need to be able to do a full practice.
So, please sign up for the Back2School BLAST on the 12th and also for the practice meetup on the 5th.
A huge "Thank You" to the Rescue Mission for the invite to document this event. Thank you also to our volunteer photographers, saw a lot of smiles as you all worked the event. I'm not sure "working the event" is appropriate, more like having fun at the event. Reducing 196 photos to 30 was a chore, here's mine. Let's see your 30.

What a wonderful opportunity to share in this service program of the Rescue Mission and the 20+ vendors who support their Back2School program. Parkway Wesleyan is to be commended for providing building, staff, utilities, and volunteers to support the Back 2 School program. I talked with the Senior Pastor; he was thrilled that so much ministry was accomplished there in a short amount of time. Many volunteers, from across the valley, commented on the church facility venue as opposed to the Civic Center which had been used previously - a vastly better site that had been provided by the church to the Rescue Mission.
0 · August 12, 2013
Personally I am thankful for the opportunity to give back to the community through my photography and I'm thankful for others who appreciate that not everything has a price tag. The Rescue Mission and the church involved are not a "for profit" group. Through our photography, they will gain nothing for themselves except a means to draw more families close that may be in need of school supplies, a pat on the back, and best wishes for a new school year. To be able to capture all that on my camera will be priceless.

Continued due to a 1000 character limit per post...
I think the volunteer can and should provide a service that in 90 out of 100 situations doesn't interfere with the professional. And those other 10 opportunities? The volunteer hustled to find it and the professional had the same opportunity. It's up to the potential customer to decide to take a chance, for free, with the amateur or rely on the professionals reputation for a fee.
0 · August 11, 2013
I completely agree with Blake and others who donate their time and experience, at no charge, to help others in the community.
We (Art really) went out to find situations/opportunities where we could practice our skills and hopefully improve as photographers at no cost to the recipients. That is our choice! The professional has the same opportunity to work to find photo situations/opportunities and charge for their services. We do after all live in a free society.
Photo opportunities such as the worldwide "Help Portrait" organization, the photos that Exposure Roanoke provided for the handicapped workers at Goodwill for Christmas and other local efforts helps those who otherwise would have no photo memories if it were not for the volunteer photographer. Should we not give our old usable clothes and furniture to Goodwill, or other charitable organizations, because it might take a sale away from a furniture or clothing store?
0 · August 11, 2013
I am reluctant to join this event even though I have extensive experience of this type of photography for almost 40 years and have a large lighting system to use.
This seems to be a Job that would PAY a photographer. Although I support Exposure Roanoke in expanding knowledge and experiences in photography to others, I am uncomfortable with this organized volunteerism that takes work away from a photographer.
The Rescue Mission is a good cause, the church involvement causes me concern. Through the years, I have noticed that churches dealing with altruistic endeavors like helping the poor always ask for volunteers so they do not have to spend church money. However, when it comes to the matters to benefit the church, such as buildings, sound and video systems, they are more than willing to pay them whatever it takes to get it done.
I feel that this event is most likely taking paying work away from photographers, and ER should not be involved in that kind of action.

Choosing colors
Choosing colors
This movie is a summary of the different ways to choose your colors in Photoshop, in no particular order, let's begin with the Swatches panel. If I have my Swatches panel open I can choose my foreground color by clicking on the color that I like, and to choose the background color, I hold down the Command or the Ctrl key and click. I can also Load pre-saved Swatches or I can work from any of these predefined color matching systems. I can also use the Color panel and on the Color panel I can mix my colors by adjusting these sliders, and we have sliders that correspond to Photoshop's different color models.
I am going to switch to RGB now, and they are mixing my colors and I am seeing a scale of 255, 0-255 for each of my three primary colors. These two swatches here represent the foreground and background colors, duplicating what we have down here at the bottom of Tool panel, foreground and background colors. I can also, if I wish, just move my eyedropper along the flattened color w...

Everything was perfect and it looks great on the tree!
My granddaughter loved this ballerina. It's a decent size and has nice detail on the face. I would say that it is slightly overpriced, though.
