I tried 54-73535 but it was oriented ninety degrees off when I installed the brackets. When i view the pic's of the boosters they appear correct but now i am leery of buying. I have looked at 50-73535. Can anyone help? ThanksEric

Lawrence city councilor calls for mayor's resignation after ex-aide's arraignment
SALEM (AP)- A Lawrence city councilor is among a group of people who are calling for Mayor William Lantigua to resign amid indictments against two city employees who have ties to the leader.
"The indictments we heard against those close to him were the final straw," City Councilor Marc Laplante said as he addressed the media.
Laplante said that even though Lantigua has not been charged in the case, action needs to be taken.
"Why wait until he gets charged? The city is divided and the moral authority has been compromised," says Laplante.
Laplante spoke to the media on Wednesday, the same day that two associates of Mayor Lantigua were arraigned on corruption charges.
The mayor's former chief of staff, Leonard Degnan, and Deputy Police Chief Melix Bonilla pleaded not guilty in Salem Superior Court. They were released on no bail, but ordered to forfeit their passports.
Degnan and Bonilla were indicted Tuesday in what prosecutors said is an ongoing investigation.
Degnan faces charges including solicitation of a bribe, extortion and conspiracy. Prosecutors said he pressured a city trash contractor to donate a truck to Lantigua's native Dominican Republic.
The charges against Bonilla include fraudulent conversion of city property, conspiracy and extortion. Prosecutors say he swapped 13 vehicles the city seized in drug busts to a car dealer with close ties to Lantigua. The state Inspector General says the deal for four cars cost the city $30,000.
Bonilla says he hasn't done anything wrong.
Both men are due back in court on Nov. 8.

Retailers have long known that tiny changes in price can have a huge impact on consumer psychology. An item listed at $9.99 sounds a lot cheaper than one listed at $10. But does this effect ever pop up anywhere else?
In the used-car market, apparently. A new paper from the National Bureau for Economic Research finds that the price of used cars plummets by about $448 on average every time it crosses a 10,000-mile threshold on the odometer. That's fairly unexpected. A car with 29,999 miles on it isn't that much more valuable than a car with 30,000 miles on it. "These changes in prices," the authors conclude, "appear to be driven by changes in consumer perception of vehicle value."
This research follows up on a 2011 paper by Nicholas Lacetera, Devin Pope and Justin Sydnor, which found a similar effect for wholesale car prices. In an essay on the phenomenon, the study's co-authors chalk this up to our limited attention spans — buyers tend to focus on left-hand digits and not the right-hand digits when looking at mileage. At a glance, a car with 20,001 miles on it seems much less valuable than a car with 19,999 miles.
For the car market, at least, the aggregate impact is fairly large. Looking at just 22 million car auctions, the authors estimated that the cars they studied were mispriced by about $2.4 billion because of this right-digit bias. They also offered a chart showing the discontinuities:
In any case, it's a minor study in the grand scheme of things, though the authors wonder if similar biases might pop up in other settings, such as "hiring or admissions decisions based on GPAs and test scores, the evaluation of companies based on financial reports (e.g., revenues), the treatment of medical test results, and how the public reacts to government spending programmes."
Further reading:
--By the way, here's a fascinating old piece about economists who wonder why prices ending in "9" seem to have such a strange psychological effect on consumers. One notable finding: "At the University of Chicago, for instance, researchers found that when the price of margarine dropped from 89 cents to 71 cents at a local grocery chain, sales improved 65 percent, but that when the price fell to 69 cents, sales rose 222 percent."

DC Comics' Harley Quinn Annual #1 will be a "rub'n'smell" comic book that will feature a number of unique scents that relate to the story. DC will come out with an edition of the comic that's meant for U.S. readers, and a second edition that will be exported outside of the country. The US edition will feature smells such as leather, suntan lotion, pizza and what's referred to in the story as "cannabisylocibe 7-A."
Hmmm, I wonder that cannabisylocibe is supposed to be?
DC's move to create a second edition for overseas markets makes a bit more sense now considering that last scent, as it might be rather difficult to export a comic that smells vaguely of weed. The international edition will replace the cannabis scent with the smell of fresh-cut lawn clippings.

Chances are slim for many small towns to get the chance to support Olympic athletes. This is not the case for Park City, and we may brag that it never has been the case. Many people would consider us to be over active or down right adrenaline junkies. We see the thrill in a multitude of actives and are proud that our community lives such an active lifestyle. Without further ado here are 33 athletes you will be seeing on the US Olympics team competing in Sochi, Russia. The best part is they are Park-ites!
Sochi, Russia has had unfavorable weather conditions for all outdoor Olympic sports. Olympians must draw bib numbers which determine the lineup for the day for each sport. Athletes stress how drawing a bib that is just two number behind someone else can bump you back one or two hours on the roster and the snow conditions can really deteriorate by then. Some skiers are making light of the situation by tweeting pictures of them sunbathing in 62 degree weather!
On the other hand Park City has extremely favorable weather this year with our Pineapple Express storms hitting one after another! The snow has not let up and now is the best time to book your upcoming vacation to Park City.

Smith & Wesson Enters Long-Gun Market with M&P15 Rifles
Company Expands Military & Police Series With Rifles Designed for Law Enforcement, Military, and Sporting Shooters
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan 18, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (Amex: SWB), parent company of Smith & Wesson Corp., the legendary, 154-year old, global provider of products and services for safety, security, protection and sport, announced its initial entry into the market for tactical rifles and will begin shipments in early February of the Smith & Wesson M&P15 Rifle and the Smith & Wesson M&P15T Rifle.
These tactical rifles are additions to the Company's Military & Police (M&P) series of firearms specifically engineered to meet the needs of global military and police personnel, as well as sporting shooters.
Michael F. Golden, Smith & Wesson's President and CEO, said, "We are entering the $1 billion market for long guns with products that provide the exceptional functionality and reliability that Smith & Wesson customers have come to expect. We believe the features of these tactical rifles make them strong contenders in the military and law enforcement markets.
We also believe that our M&P rifle series fills a tremendous gap in the marketplace by delivering high-quality, feature-rich tactical rifles that will be readily available in commercial channels. As a company that stands for safety, security, protection and sport, the Smith & Wesson brand and reputation have earned a position for us in that market. The M&P15 rifle series is produced entirely in the United States under manufacturing alliances with several American companies."
The M&P rifle series is based upon a combat-proven design and incorporates a full set of standard features currently unmatched in other AR-15-type tactical rifles. Both the M&P15 and the M&P15T (with its high-end accessory package) are rugged, lightweight, semi-automatic rifles. Both are chambered in 5.56mm NATO ammunition and are built to perform under a diverse range of conditions. Reliability features of the gas-operated rifles include a chrome-lined gas key, bolt carrier and barrel. Both the M&P15 and the M&P15T are designed to accommodate a variety of shooters and shooting positions through the use of a six-position adjustable stock.
The M&P15 incorporates a traditional AR-15 design featuring a removable carry-handle and adjustable rear and front post sights, allowing for quick target acquisition and convenient handling. The black anodized rifle measures 35 inches in length when fully extended and has an unloaded weight of 6.74 pounds.
The M&P15T, with its high-end accessory package, features folding front and rear battle sights and a four-sided equipment rail system that allows the addition of accessories, such as lights, laser-aiming devices, and vertical grips. The rifle measures 35 inches in length when fully extended and has an unloaded weight of 6.85 pounds.
The M&P15 and M&P15T join a comprehensive family of Smith & Wesson products designed and manufactured to meet the needs of law enforcement professionals. Other products include a full-line of Smith & Wesson's world-renowned revolvers used for primary duty and backup side arms, the recently announced M&P series of polymer pistols designed specifically for law enforcement and military use, and a wide range of handcuffs, restraint products and tactical vision devices.
Both the M&P15 and the M&P15T will be unveiled at SHOT Show 2006, February 9-12 at the Las Vegas, Nevada Convention Center. The Company expects that editorial coverage in multiple industry publications will occur beginning with that event. Initial shipments of both rifles are expected to begin concurrent with SHOT Show and will be distributed initially to law enforcement agencies for test and evaluation and to the sporting goods distribution channel. The M&P15 will carry a suggested retail price of $1,200, while the M&P15T will retail for $1,700.

well , 1 more maker of AR's will not hurt anything. Don't think they have much of a market ,or edge over anyone else making em though. Sounds like they plan on selling to us lowly civilians though.
Apart from adequate quality - price will probably be the determining factor, as to how good sales might be.
Indeed, a very competitive market sector and I doubt they have gotten to this stage without some strategy which could make enough sales to be viable. I guess we'll see.

I think they'll just be another maker too, but I think the move has potential for them. If you're going for the law enforcement market, you've got to produce what your customers need.
IMO there is no room for S&W. Colts got most of the govt. and Bushmaster has the civilians and then some. Thats it. But to S&W I say.........go for it. --------
I got a Feeling Colt wont either be around much longer or they wont have the contract very long.
In the words of Family Guys Peter Griffin;

I think if they could get some major agency to adopt their rifle, they could be another name in the market for some time to come. Doesn't Rock River Arms make the service rifles for the DEA for instance?
I think they Do Euc
Im surprised S&W is still even in business nowadays.
I would probably choose a Taurus or Ruger for a carry gun over S&W any day.
Needless to say I will not buy a S&W AR.
I have always hated their quality on their auto's. I do like their revolvers, but that's about it.

I will not be buying a S&W ar either, but like their quality over Ruger or Taurus. Especially their revolvers.Originally Posted by Sig229
Is the not buying S&W due to their past political decision, their pricing, or their quality?
They seemed to have reneged on their deal with Clinton administration, their quality on their 1911 is getting rave reviews over at the 1911 forum, but the stated MSRP for the AR's is out of line, in my opinion.

Reshad Jones has a longstanding reputation as an aggressive, instinctive safety from his days at the University of Georgia. He's flashed from time to time in his first two seasons with the Dolphins, but in 2011 he lost more battles than he won when gambling. Jones started 14 games in his first two seasons, contributing 88 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions, which is decent. But it appears spending a full season as a starter, and the instruction Miami's new coaches have provided has helped this 2010 fifth-round pick take his game to the next level.
John Jerry doesn't fit the athletic mold the Dolphins want for its zone-blocking offensive line. Jerry, a 2010 third-round pick who lost his starting spot last year, is at least 25 pounds heavier than his desired weight (320), and his lackluster practices during the team's offseason program allowed Artis Hicks to replace him as the front-runner to serve as Miami's starting right guard. If Jerry doesn't get his act and weight together, he might not even make the 53-man roster. Last year, Jerry's draft status saved him when it came time for the Dolphins to make cuts. This year Jerry likely won't be afforded the same luxury because these coaches weren't involved in drafting him.
Jonathan Martin's performance in his second week of OTAs was a little concerning.
The Dolphins' second-round pick struggled to anchor on running plays, and his area was being compromised by speed rushers.
In fairness to Martin, this was the first time since high school he'd played right tackle considering he was a left tackle at Stanford for the past three years. But Martin clearly needs time to get use to the new spot.
Cameron Wake, the Dolphins' Pro Bowl pass rusher, has been borderline abusive to the rookie. But Coach Joe Philbin made it clear the offensive lineman, who missed all but one week of OTAs because of Stanford's quarter system, needs the beating to get better.
"That's great stuff," Philbin said. "Coach (Jim) Turner can sit in a meeting room and talk about how you pass-set and I can tell you to time up your punch and that it's a 6-inch punch and act real smart, but until you get out there and do it, it's a different animal going up against that type of athlete. It's great experience for him."
Good thing for Miami, Lydon Murtha isn't chopped liver, and remains in the mix to serve as the starting right tackle.
-- CB Richard Marshall, who was sidelined by leg injury for two weeks, participated in all of Miami's last minicamp.
-- CB Vontae Davis, who was sidelined by an undisclosed injury during the OTA sessions, participated in minicamp.
-- WR Brian Hartline, who has sat out most of the team's OTA practices, missed minicamp because of a medical issue, which he later revealed was an appendectomy.
-- CB Nolan Carroll sat out the last day of minicamp because of an undisclosed leg issue.

Poster For Kanye West's 'Yeezus' Film Released
It's been a minute since we've heard anything about Kanye West's Yeezus film, which will apparently hit theaters sometime in the near future, but today we got a little more info about the upcoming movie.
Mazdack Rassie of Milk Studios posted the picture to his Instagram, confirming that Hype Williams was the director and the film is being produced by West's own DONA Production in association with Milk Studios.
Also, Bret Easton Ellis (author of American Psycho) is credited as the film's writer, making us question if this will just be concert footage or something more like a narrative movie.
We'll have to wait and see....

Many hands are involved in the outreach ministries of St. Peter's Church. Our efforts are coordinated by our Outreach Committee. This year, we are focused on making a positive difference to people living in local communities.
Our fundraising for outreach, through events such as Cabaret, the Woman's Guild Garden Walk and Party, and the November Estate Sale, is dedicated to the benefit of four ministries:
Beyond Housing
Beyond Housing aims to develop all the factors that make up a thriving community – education, housing, health, employment readiness and access, and economic development for families in need. This is accomplished through collaborative efforts with a variety of local, regional and national partners. For more information, visit www.beyondhousing.org.
Episcopal City Mission (ECM)
ECM provides support, hope, and healing to children in detention through chaplains serving in the St. Louis City and County Detention Centers and the Lakeside Residential Center. To learn more, please visit www.ecitymission.org.
The Haven of Grace
The Haven of Grace began as a ministry of St. Peter's Church over 25 years ago. It provides a home to young women who are pregnant and homeless, giving residents a chance to redefine their lives. In a caring residential environment, young mothers can heal and bond with their children. There is a rigorous educational program and support system for these women designed to empower them to set their lives on a positive, new course. Visit www.havenofgracestl.org to learn more.
Magdalene St. Louis
A seedling of the original Magdalene House in Nashville, Tennessee, Magdalene St. Louis is a two-year residential program for women recovering from prostitution, sex trafficking, abuse, and addiction. Magdalene offers housing, food, medical care, therapy, education, and job training at no cost to help its residents recover and rebuild their lives. Contact Angela Mullins at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more, or visit www.magdalenestl.org.
Monthly Food Drive
Food that we collect on the 1st Sunday of each month is delivered to the food pantry operated by Trinity Episcopal Church in the Central West End neighborhood of St. Louis.
Hot Meals
Four times a year, volunteers cook and serve at Trinity Episcopal CWE's Sunday Hot Lunch, as well as the Saturday Peace Meal at St. John's Episcopal Church, Tower Grove.
Sunday Sandwich Makers
Our younger parishioners and their families gather in the parish kitchen to assemble sandwiches and cookies, which in turn is delivered to Sunshine Ministries in downtown St. Louis. This enables Sunshine Ministries to provide lunch to homeless men seeking shelter and support.
St. Peter's participates in two special outreach efforts during the season of Advent:
The Giving Tree
Each Advent, the tree in our narthex is decorated, not with ornaments, but with Christmas wishes from children and youth in the St. Louis area. In 2015, parishioners are making wishes come true for families at the Haven of Grace and Beyond Housing, as well as youth in detention through the auspices of Episcopal City Mission.
Christmas on the River
As part of the Ministry on the River program operated by The Seamen's Church Institute, parishioners pack Christmas boxes for the crews of the barges and tugs operating on local waterways. Hand-knitted scarves arrive from across the country, packed with homemade items from St. Peter's Evening's Women Association and other holiday items donated by parishioners.
For more information on any of these opportunities, please contact the Church Office at 314-993-2306 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Water tower in Blawnox coming down
A neighborhood eyesore could be demolished before the end of the year.
Blawnox officials approved a $16,800 contract with Kosinski Demolition of Port Austin, Mich. to bring down a water tank on Carla Drive.
The vote was 5-0, with council members Deborah Laskey and Scott Krause absent.
The project will be welcome news for residents in the neighborhood, borough manager Sherry Kordas said.
"People on Carla Drive will be elated to have that water tank come down," Kordas said.
Jared Evanchec, president of the Fox View Homeowners Association agreed.
"It's been something the group and I have been really adamant about doing and we're really excited," Evanchec said.
Evanchec said he has lived in the development for about two and a half years.
"I looked past the water tower but now that it's coming down, it really excites me," Evanchec said.
Kordas said the project could be completed before the end of the year.
Funding will come from the Community Development Block Grant program.
Gordon Taylor of Senate Engineering, the borough engineer, said he had not dealt with this company before, but the company was required to supply three references.
"We did check the references," Taylor said. "We contacted those people and they said they did a good job."
The company will be required to put up a maintenance and performance bond and be insured, Taylor said.
The bids ranged from the low $16,800 bid to $27,180. Three offers were received.
Evanchec had only one request about after the demolition is complete.
"I just hope they don't replace it with something equally as ugly," Evanchec said.

Blower won't start
Previously I ran the furnace self test and the Inducer, the HSI, the Blower low speed & the blower high speed all worked as expected.
Previous problems I had with the heater seemed to be done so I fired up the heater and the inducer the HSI worked the burners were ignited but the blower didn't come on. the fault code was 34 which indicates since all other things are working that the flame sensor, though clean isn't putting out the required voltage.
Fast forward, I stopped working on the heater because the outside temp is now 85-90F. At first the A/C unit seemed to be working, putting out cold air to the registers. Cycle forward a day, the thermostat had turned the system off because the house was cool enough. I manually cranked down the temp in hopes of the A/C commin on but it did not.
I went back out to the furnace and took the proper steps to run a self test. The Inducer turns on, the HSI glows but the blower just hums instead of turning. Is this a possible capicitor problem or is it more likely a blower problem?
It could be either at this point. If you try and spin the blower wheel (with the power off as if it starts to spin with power and your finger is in there then goodbye finger) and it is hard to spin/does not spin freely meaning acting like the motor bearings are seizing than it's the motor for certain.
The motor should also be extremely hot to the touch if this is the case.
The blower wheel spins freely does that mean Capacitor??
Why not buy a mutimeter and check the capacitor, motor and control board instead of guessing? All we can do from the computer screen is tell you what to check. From there on it's all you.
I have the meter I'm lookin for instruction on what and how to check. Any help given is greatly appreciated.
Turn power off, set meter to mfd and check capacitor. Hook cap back up and turn power back on. Set stat for cooling and if motor doesn't start check the leads where they hook up to the control board for correct voltage.
Cap tests bad -replace it
Cap tests good and motor has correct voltage and still won't start then it's the motor.
No high voltage to the motor then it's the control board.
I do believe he said that the motor was humming which is a good indicatation that it's receiving voltage.
OP, your meter has to have mfd reading capability to check that cap. With the breaker off to the furnace you need to disconnect the two wires from the cap and then check the cap without any wires on it.
There is a number on that cap, something like 5 or 6 or 7.5 mfd and you have to be within a certain range (percentage) of that number on your meter which will also be printed on the cap, something like 5% of 5 mfd and the cap most likely is still good ALTHOUGH there have instances where the cap reads good and it isn't.
So 5% of 5 would be .25 so on a 5 mfd +/-5% run capacitor anything above or below that 5 mfd +/-.25 (so 5.25 on the plus side and 4.75 on the negative side) would be considered bad. If the cap doesn't read at all than it's definitely bad.
If you do not have a meter that reads mfd than that cap is so cheap, $5 to $10 max, you can just get the numbers from it and go buy one and install it and see if your motor works.

Photoshop CS6: Top 5 Features for Photographers
|3 Previous
4 Photoshop CS6: Top 5 Features for Photographers
|5 Next
The Patch tool in Content-Aware fill mode
A key new feature in Photoshop CS5 was the Content-Aware fill. This allowed you to make a selection and use the Edit>Fill command in the default Content-Aware fill mode to automatically fill the selected area, cleverly combining sampled image data from outside the selection area to fill the selection.
When it worked well it was great. Even when you couldn't get a perfect fill first time around you could always try making repeated fills or use other repair tools such as the spot healing brush to tidy up the repaired selection. Photoshop CS6 now offers this content-aware mode for the patch tool. This allows you to make a selection and use the patch tool in content-aware mode by dragging the selection to define the area from which to sample. In addition, there are now five different adaptation methods to choose from - as you'll see below - which allow you to adjust the content-aware fill calculations after the fact for more seamless results.
|Here is a photo taken by my colleague Jeff Schewe on a recent photo trip to
Scotland as I'm taking a photo of a waterfall.
This image has lots of fine, organic detail; a perfect opportunity to test the Patch tool in its new content-aware fill mode. Using the Patch tool is typically a two-step process. You select the object to be removed and then manually specify the area from which ts replacement will originate. By using content-aware mode we'll have the additional option of choosing the most appropriate adaptation algorithm.
One of the keys to success lies in exploring the Adaptation menu options to the right of the Patch menu.
|Patch tool options in Photoshop CS6
In the examples below you can see how I was able to vary the results simply by choosing among the different options in the Adaptation menu's settings.
|Very Loose adaptation
|Loose adaptation
|Medium adaptation
|Strict adaptation: The tripod leg is now gone.
In this case, I found that using the Very Strict adaptation setting (shown below) provided the best results. Results will vary of course from image to image so it pays to experiment with the different options, with the goal of saving yourself as much touchup work at the end as possible.
|Very Strict adaptation
While not 100% perfect, the result you see above is quite impressive, given how little time and effort it required. Of course for a finished result you're going to have to manually heal or clone some small areas, as I've done to produce the image below.
|To create this final version I applied a few minor spot healing brush strokes to
tidy up the photo.
In CS6 there is also a Content-Aware Move tool. This provides functionality we just saw with the patch tool, except it allows you to make a selection, move the selection contents and automatically fill the original selected area behind it. This too is a great tool for retouching images. I have found it useful in handling small detail retouching problems, like the need to shorten a ribbon on a dress. When using this new tool to move bigger elements around in a scene I find that you do need to be aware of the perspective in the scene, which can limit how far you can do with the tool before the image 'looks' retouched. Maybe we'll one day have a content-aware move tool within the Vanishing Point filter. One can dream.

I love photoshop cs6. Everything is very nice and organized. Much faster than cs5. Thank you for sharing this post, very unique content. If you have time, please check out my website to learn how to install custom fonts for photoshop cs6 ---> http://realpcgeeks.com/how-to-install-fonts-for-photoshop-cs6-cs5-cs4-cs3/
To be honest the image in the 'patch tool in content aware' section looks terrible.
If I ever get in that situation I'll just wait for the other photographer to move.
wow. Those blur tools are unreal and useful in my line of work. I'd like to see them ported over to Lightroom, but it's definitely worth it to open photoshop for that level of adjustment. Did they ever get around to adding the Unblur Features that they debuted at the preview event?
Adobe's greed may well push folks away from their excellent ACR! If the trend continues, many of us will drift away from ACR (no need for future upgrades of PS CS6). As a former ACR beta tester I am very disappointed. As a photographer I am very confused where PS CS6 is headed - and why! Thomas has more money than he can spend in 100 lifetimes - and good for him! But, meanwhile, Photoshop is taking a beating by many photography groups, forums, blogs, media, and many pros. Will the stock be next?
This is a perfect opportunity for Apple to develop and introduce a real competitor for Photoshop. I hope it eventually happens.
Apple has to work extra hard if they want to make something that can compete with Adobe Photoshop.
I have used Aperture before and I just find it too basic and under-developed. IMHO, for an Apple product the user interface really sucks. I think Lightroom is a better alternative.
One option I think would be for Apple to purchase Corel, Nik Software or a similar Company for the brain power in the image processing field (and patents like Control Points) and come up with a really usable interface that doesn't need a 600 pages book to learn.
In the meantime right now I think there is not much more than Photoshop for professional image work. If you have a better alternative let me know. I'm willing to explore options. BTW, GIMP doesn't count - it's free but it's also another user interface nightmare.
What are they doing? They made Lightroom wonderful and affordable. I'm a photographer first and pixel diddler second so of course I got LR4 and absolutely love and praise it. I have CS5 and it is good. I've hardly scratched the surface and out comes CS6 ...at great ongoing expense.
I simply can't spend that kind of money monthy on something I only use to edit 2 or 3 % of my work. It seems like the Lightroom group got their development and marketing acts together while the CS team came up with a money extraction machine.
The price structure, cloud system and lack of support for older versions (sure I can buy a new camera AND new Photoshop to edit the photos) tells me they are setting themselves up for a big fall. Some of the inexensive low cost programs are going to suddently become practical through performance improvements and a groundswell of rejection and adoption of those programs will leave the CS team asking themselves "why did we choose to bite the hand that feeds us"
They made Lightroom more affordable because Apple made Aperture dirt cheap. That's the only reason why.
I'm not sure I understand. It seems you don't need it so why the fuss.
Adobe does offer DNG converter for free, though I do wish you could update camera raw separately.
"...a must-have feature for any landscape/architectural photographer...", I think for architectural photographer in the sense of technical geometry correctness may benefit from it, but for a landscape photo art, where any geometry correction would destroy the art itself, and would consider the lens as garbage since it cannot produce image "correctly".
I do graphic designs, and sometimes photography. With newer CSes, I benefit a lot more in designs or manipulations, than photography. CSes are less for photographers, IMO.
New features can be good in PShop, but I'm more old school and the older versions still work here for general photo editing. I wish camera makers would make their cameras capture stuff like I see it via the controls for once so we needn't have to edit our photos so much afterwards. Capturing a good photo of a moment in time should not require post-processing in this day of high technology. All the stupid new gizmo options on digi-cameras are useless if they don't capture the moment well by the user and PP work is required.
I got a survey from Adobe and after the questions about paying a monthy fee instead of purchasing, they asked how often do you upgrade? I thought it was interesting that one of the options for answering was "every other version" which seems to be about right.
It really does come down to the price, unfortunately. I love PS, but $50 upgrades seem a more reasonable cost for these features.
As far back as I remember you always had the ability to name/rename a layer. This was possible in CS5, but some idiots, managed to take away this option, or hid it so it is hard to find. Why is it so common lately for programs to take away perfectly useful and important features (or change where they are) in subsequent newer "improved" versions ?
Put it BACK!
What are you talking about, it works the same as it does in your desktop. You click the layer name, it highlights, you rename it...
Hey Graybalanced,
Thanks for the information. I was looking for it to work the same way as it used to in CS5 etc, where it was a menu option after right clicking. So I never tried a left mouse click. With Windows Explorer you right click and choose Rename.
I guess I would claim that it was there but hidden from anyone who expected it to work the way it used to.
In any case I'm delighted that you rescued me from ignorance.
The content aware demo is not good. You see that the same rocks and water are duplicated. And the bigger rock is floating in the air. There was something supporting it behind the blue man.
It's important to realize that Photoshop is a product aimed at a wide audience of photographers/graphic designers. I'm a designer who values any tool that will help me quickly adapt an image for a particular use. As an example, let's say I have a great photo of a couple but it's cropped too tightly and I need more background. The content aware tool is a great way to quickly and easily add the additional image area I need.
I agree for a fine art photographer and sometimes a designer too, there are more elegant ways to retouch a photo. On a deadline however it's a time saver.
Agree with CameraLabTester. What's in CS6 for photographers? I don't like LR and I'll stick with CS3 forever.
A few things are the ability to take advantage of 64 bit architecture for better memory se (only 4gb max in cs3) , many useful compositing/masking features (quick selection - yes!), many useful camera raw features etc..
Once you start using the new features you can't remember not having them - I agree it's an expensive habit.
But cs3 was a while ago and certainly you're getting your money's worth.
Adobe Photoshop is slowly running out of gimmicks to catch consumer cash.
The decline began in the Adobe Photoshop 7.0 era
Nothing new that cannot be done in PS7 or PS6 or even in PS5.
If you know what you are doing.
Photoshop 4.0 (not the CS4) introduced excellent typography options, also the the introduction of CMYK color profiles who were easy applicable so the color correction became easy it should be etc.. Today, I'm using CS5 and my workflow is mostly the same since PS5. Your creativity is not in conjunction with the version of PS you use. It is your imagination that creates beautiful photos, designs..
I would love to see ACR incorporate film negative linear gamma 'raw' scans into its algorithms. Currently I'm fudging about using ColorPerfect plugin via VueScan, and the neg scans are messing with the Lightroom digital file workflow. It would be great to incorporate this into ACR :)
Adobe Photoshop is the most bloated piece of software on the market... photographic or otherwise. If they'd spend half the energy on streamlining the product they already have, vs. continually releasing a stream of releases with minor tweaks, they might have a much larger audience.
Yeah, I get it about those who have already invested years in learning the hidden secrets of the megalith. Frankly, I'd rather spend the time photographing.
When are people going to say enough with the frosting. Please bake a new cake?
But they wouldn't have all the money.
It cost 699. Now they think people are stupid enough to subscribe to it for $50 a month for the cloud version.
That's 600 a year every year.
2 years 1200
3 years 1800
No wonder people keep pirating software.
How are they not streamlining the program when they've rewritten so many functions for multicore and GPU, and rewritten so many features to be easier and simpler? The crop tool is simpler. The lens corrections are far superior to the old "perspective crop." The Print dialog is much better than it used to be. Sometimes it seems like people are just complaining and not really paying attention.
The content aware with all the tool is impressive
Before the spot healing brush strokes applied at the end, there is obvious grass in the rock where the head was - not very impressive at all. The final version is not bad, I acknowledge.
On a separate point, pity about the dark tree top, likely a result of a graduated ND filter.
This is a joke, right? (content aware) I had PS CS6 for 25 days. Sent it back and re-installed PS CS5. Too many bugs. Maybe the revised PS CS6 will have these corrected. For whatever reason Adobe has always in the past (anyway) always comes up with the .1 or .2 version that fixes many bugs.
Not much difference. I've been correcting spherical distortion for years using a negative value spherize filter in PS6. I do like that you can selectively adjust distortion in CS6 ! Show us something more dramatic ?
Lanscape photographer with fish-eye .. um yea. Straightening what lines? Mountains? Trees? Rivers? Yea everything in nature tends to be "straight as line". :D
For urban landscape photographer (where fish-eyes are somewhat normal), yes. But for nature landscape photographer, not really.. and its not something that PTlens cant do..
Concerning HDR editing in 32 bits you don't need CS6 : if you have CS5 and LR4.1 you can do the same : choose the 3,5,7 photos you want to combine and then choose "Merge to HDR" once this is done in PS, choose save as a 32 bits file; when you are back to LR4.1, you will be able to tweak that 32bits HDR with process 2012 just as if you were using CS6 and ACR 7.1 ; indeed, you have ACR 7.1 in LR4.1.
The wide angle filter needs a Ken-Rockwell style before-and-after mouse-over. To my untrained eyes all I see is a slight straightening of lines.
Seriously now, can someone claim that we 've seen miracles in Ps after the version CS2? Anyone with the CS2 plus the plugins that a serious user needs is almost ahead of the CS6. Pls add LR too..
Seriously, now, can someone tell me why Photoshop is necessary for photographers at all? It's designed for graphics folks. I haven't found a need for it for processing photos for a decade. LR does what I need for 999 out of 1000 shots, and the other .1% can be dealt with by PS Elements no problem.
I concur with ljfinger entirely. CS is not a tool for photographers. I don't even see the need for Elements, what with a tool as powerful as Lightroom (or its super smart alternative, the DxO Optics Pro).
You've obviously never used one of the newer version. Content-Aware fill, newer versions of Camera RAW, the photomerge/stitching/HDR tools, and more are all light years ahead of CS2. I upgraded from CS2 to CS4 and it was worth it for better ACR alone. Then I upgraded to CS5.5 and was wowed by how much better it did many things I regularly use Photoshop to do. You should download the demo.
"I don't even see the need for Elements, what with a tool as powerful as Lightroom (or its super smart alternative, the DxO Optics Pro)."
I pretty much just use Elements for compositing and the occasional clone/heal nightmare that LR can't handle. Can't do that in Lightroom. Still, like I said, 1 in 1000, if that.
If you look at the new feature list on Wikipedia, the "miracle features" list actually accelerated after CS2.
If you don't need the features that were added after CS2, all that means is that your needs are simple, and Photoshop was never the program you should have been using in the first place. You were overpaying because you were over-speccing your tool, like buying an expensive wrench that is supposed to be for racing teams, not homeowners.
Furthermore, if you tried to pay for enough plug-ins to match what CS6 does, you would have paid more in plug-ins than for the retail price of CS6.
I'm always fascinated by the logic that revolves around "if I don't need it no-one should need it". It usually followed up by "If you do need it then something's wrong with you." I assure you that Photoshop offers so many features that photographers need.
One use - in my case -is that frequently have to photograph dark rooms with movies and videos playing. This requires masking layering and compositing. New features like quick selection etc helps take the sting out.
Others have different needs - Photoshop does it and does it well.
Does the standard license which is 831 euro's for CS6 include the usage/installing on two or three computers (of the same owner?) I own a laptop and desktop and cannot find if I can use CS 6 on both.
Need some advice. I am planning on buying either the Canon 5D Mark iii r Nikon D800 very soon - not because I am a pro but really because I don't want to upgrade for a few years. Can someone tell me if software choice is dependent on the hardware, or are application like Adobe Photoshop CS6 suitable for workflow of either of these cameras? Thanks
The software works identically regardless of camera choice.
D800 image files will be big so you might want to add memory to your computer to process them, and they will fill up hard drive space more quickly.
Is the unscharp fix in it? http://edudemic.com/2011/10/adobe-photoshop-unblur/
That is a technology demo. It won't be available for a while.
Also it was revealed later that the images they used were artificially blurred, so it wasn't exactly real anyway.
I'm unfortunately an occasional user of CS4. Could anyone tell me whether they have fixed the following problems in CS6:
1. Have Adobe finally managed to implement the RH mouse control to, for example, enable the setting of a clone point without having to simultaneously dab the alt key whilst pressing the LH mouse control?
2. Does the overlaying of images for stitching or stacking now work properly?
3. Does PS6 manage to stitch more than two images correctly and in less than half an hour on an i5 machine?
4. Do the stitch projections now work.
5. Have they provided a NX2 style selection pen to replace the almost completely useless lasso tool?
I'll carry on using PTGUI, NX2 and Corel until these problems are fixed.
BTW I'm not trolling. I'm genuinely disgusted that Adobe can ask 650GBP (or 250GBP for an upgrade) for such half-baked software.
1. There are some RH mouse options, but the alt/opt key is still required for the clone source
2. Yes
3. N/a
4. Yes
5. No
These answers are my experience and yes, I agree that PS is overpriced.
look great
but what should i do ?
save -2 and +2 16 tiff file with camera raw
should i load these 2 files in camera raw????
i did not understand how can i perform an hdr inside acr 7.1
Hi Mantra,
you can't create HDR files within ACR.
you have to first merge the files with different exposure into a 32bitHDR file using another program.. for example: photoshop / Photomatix etc..
the update only allows ACR to recognize HDR files and give you more control over the file.
Must be me but CS5 and 6 may give you fancy tools you might want, but they're not things you actually need.
Yeah.. and Apple has a 10MP front facing camera available in an iphone already.. but it won't be released for 5 more years because they need to first release the iphones with a 5MP, 6MP, 7MP, and 8MP camera..
Companies are in the game to make money.... if you don't like to pay, then use freeware/shareware...
Not sure what Bill Gates or Apple have to do with Adobe...?
Competition drives quality and features, and Photoshop has become so much the de facto standard that few people choose any alternatives. They do exist, but mostly end up playing catch-up, or switch to producing Photoshop plugins instead...
A great tool for photographers that have the skills to use it.
I spent 20 years in a darkroom and the last 10 years using PS.
Lightroom is part of my workflow and PS is used when needed to finish.
CS6 will become usable when its many bugs are exterminated as is its not a program I will use.
I'm not picking on you or anyone else, but all the comments I hear about bugs makes me think that either you're trying to run a new piece of software on an aging machine or you're having problems with the software that you can't figure out. It's not a simple program to learn and after 10+ years I'm still running into challenges. I have a two step process when I run into problems. 1. I'll take advantage of Adobe's Help search and 2. If I'm really stuck, I'll post a question on Adobes web-based Forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
Just like here at DPReview, there's a whole community of Photoshop people willing to help you.
Have you any idea how bad this patch tool example is? You've ended up with two identical rippled areas in the water where the tripod legs were eliminated. What is needed here is a more 'content aware' photographer/editor!
Too much edition makes the photo a photocrop made by Photoshop. Do we need a good camera and lens?
I think he has a point. This is supposedly for photographers and our job is to get as much right in-camera and then use PS for fine tuning
That would be millions of students, teachers, and lecturers.
Academic pricing is particularly valuable for students, allowing them access to great tools like this which they perhaps could not otherwise afford.
Some of those students will become the next generation of photographers.
You need to consider the larger picture, SeeRoy.
OK, I have to say: the artificial radial blur and tilt shift blur are things I truly dislike. When blur has nothing to do with focus it just makes me annoyed, and detracts from the image in my opinion. These "features" are not a draw, to me.
Well I guess that just plays off of your aesthetic sense. For something with a traditional photographic look it doesn't fit but for a more fantastical photo-manipulation it could work very well.
Photography is one of many different art forms that derive from the capture of still imagery.
Probably a typo
Mr, Evening,
Thank you for taking the time to point out these PS CS6 photography tools. I am also appreciative of your Lr4 and PS CS6 books. They have been quite helpful to me.
Thank you
Ditto what Art said. I'm a illustrator and photographer both and can't understand the flack that Photoshop is getting in this thread. I use it constantly in both endeavors, and it works well. Lightroom may be just fine, but I've used Photoshop beginning with version 7.0 and have few complaints.
I purchased 3 and 4
Use Lightroom for photos
and CS4 for web design
Just can't be bothered to keep upgrading for minor tweaks
The price of this software has always kept me away. I prefer to use PP as little as possible and so bought Corel Paint Shop Pro X3 for $30.
Does heaps more than I need. So more than happy with that thanks.
To use CS I think one would need to be a very serious PP user.
Out of all these heavily marketed (by Scott Kelby & Co) new features in CS6 only the new ACR 7.1 makes sense.
But all these ACR 7.1 improvements are available at a better price in LR4.1 No need to upgrade you PS.
Problems arise when a company has a monopoly and needs to raise revenue by forcing people to buy upgrades. Get a new digital camera and you have to purchase the latest version of Photoshop. My first version of Photoshop was 3 and that was because Adobe bought out the software company whose product I was using and killed the software. They did that with the company that produced the product that became Lightroom, Adobe did it with Pagemaker, and they did it with Macromedia which produced Freehand and Flash. Adobe has through the years bought up its competition until now there are no competitors for Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, etc. and Apple is not really a competitor when they only produce software versions that will run only on Apple computers.
This is reflected in the price of the Adobe software and their low level of customer service.

In this weeks' Throwback Thursday article, Simon raises a toast to the Sony Digital Mavica FD71 - a little camera which used really big memory cards.
It's been half a decade since Canon first debuted the original 6D and finally its successor is here. So what does five years of innovation look like?
The Canon EOS 6D Mark II brings more resolution, better autofocus and faster continuous shooting to Canon's entry-level full-frame camera. And we've had the opportunity to shoot with one.
The Canon 6D Mark II will ship to consumers in August, but we've been able to do some shooting with a pre-production unit well in advance.
Rumors have been swirling around for a while, and Canon has just unveiled the long-awaited successor to the popular and long-serving EOS 6D. Read all about it in our hands-on preview.
Canon's latest entry-level DSLR is here. The new Rebel SL2 (EOS 200D) is the belated successor to 2013's Rebel SL1, billed at the time as the smallest and lightest DSLR on the market.
Nearly five years after the announcement of the EOS 6D, Canon has finally replaced it with the EOS 6D Mark II. The Mark II features an all-new 26.2MP Dual Pixel AF full-frame sensor, 6.5 fps burst shooting, a fully articulating touchscreen, 1080/60p video and much more.
Canon has announced the EOS Rebel SL2 (also known as the EOS 200D), which replaces the aging SL1. This ultra-compact DSLR features a 24MP sensor, DIGIC 7 processor, Dual Pixel AF system and a 3" fully articulating touchscreen LCD.
When one of his friends got a filter stuck on his $1,700 Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8L, former MythBuster Adam Savage removed it using an unlikely, terrifying tool: a band saw.
The New Yorker asked Magnum's famed photographers, in town for the agency's 70th anniversary, to go out and capture 'the fleeting beauty of New York City's golden hour.' This is what they shot.
Roger Cicala is a difficult man to impress, but he's been waxing lyrical over at Lensrentals about Sony's new 12-24mm wide zoom.
Glassware is one of the most challenging subjects to photograph, especially against a white background. This tutorial shows you how to do it with hardly any gear.
Handevision is now shipping its all-metal Iberit 90mm F2.4 short telephoto lens for Leica M-mount 35mm and full-frame cameras.
Isocell comprises four sub-brands: Bright, Fast, Slim and Dual which are tailored to specific mobile device market demands.
The new store will be located at the Fotografiska center for contemporary photography in Stockhom, Sweden and carry the full range of Hasselblad products.
A recent vacation gave Richard a chance to think about the needs of travel photography – and how our reviews might recognize the perfect travel camera.
Need more evidence that 2017 is the year analog begins its comeback? Well, welcome another new film stock to the world.
The winners of the 10th annual iPhone Photography Awards have been announced, and they're striking.
If you were disappointed by reports that the Sony a9 struggles with adapted Canon glass, you might be able to take some comfort from Metabones' latest update.
Blackmagic Design has dropped the prices of its Video Assist external monitor/recorders for a limited time. Prices of the SD card-based recorders will be reduced in all markets, while supplies last.
Instagram has started testing a new feature called 'favorites' that enables users to share photos with only certain people. Only a small number of users have access to the feature at this time, though it may roll out to everyone in the future.
Lensbaby has announced the Velvet 85 F1.8 for interchangeable lens cameras. The lens is available in Canon, Nikon, Sony E, Sony A, Pentax K, Samsung NX, Fuji X and Micro 4/3 mounts.
It's the end of an era. Parent company Micron has announced that they are discontinuing the Lexar retail brand. This includes 'memory cards, USB flash drives, readers, and storage drives.'
Youthful trainspotter turned adult photographer, John Sanderson has traveled across the United States, documenting the country's railroads. But you won't find any trains in his pictures.
Sony's new CMOS sensor is backside-illuminated and offers an all-pixel global reset function which should drastically reduce rolling shutter effect when panning.
Shoulderpod has converted its offerings into a lego-like modular system by offering all individual parts of existing products separately, allowing users to build exactly the rig they need for a specific project or simply replace a damaged part.
Photographer Felix AAA has spent the past ten years touring the world with a variety of musicians, capturing behind the scenes shots and portraits. He talks about some of his favorite images on the FujiFilm Blog.
A roll of film discovered in an Argus C2 from an Oregon Goodwill turned out to contain some incredible images – and has been re-united with the original owner's family.
Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over the past week. Take a look.
Google is holding a competition that could see your Pixel photos gracing millions of screens.

The number on the label is: #3090111.
That should be the part number.
Good luck!

Those look nice! Much improvement over the dull black pedals. Does the floor cover make it slippery at all?
^in regards to your pedals/floormat lol
Thanks for the compliment.
I think they look much better than the stock pedals too.
For a $100K vehicle, Cadillac should have included them.
Actually the shiny textured heel guard w/domed inserts aren't too slippery at all.
[/COLOR]^in regards to your pedals/floormat lol[/QUOTE]
Looks great! Congrats
Just got the lloyd Velourtex XLR V floor mats...and they are stunning! Carstuff4sale on ebay has them for $146.34 shipped!:cool:
Very nice.
I may want to upgrade to those in the future!
Attachment 90055[IMG][/IMG]Attachment 90049Attachment 90050Attachment 90051Attachment 90052Attachment 90053Attachment 90054To continue the saga...I had the complete Corsa System #14156 put in Friday! It took about 2 hours and the only snag was they had to cut the bracket from the origional system by the H piping and Mig weld it ahead of the Corsa bracket to meet the factory hanging springy bolts!:thumbsup:!
Also the day before that I installed the D3 Stage one intake system using the origional accordian rubber tubing to hook it up! Piece of cake!:)
It sounds a little loud when I push it but perfectly quiet when cruising! Very well designed! Score another one for CORSA!:yup:
Well...The XLR V rides a little stiffer and has the perelli run flats which seem to ride harder anyway! It does not spin the rear tires when I get on it...It just goes!!:bouncy:
I wouldn't mind finding tires the would give me a softer ride, but these are so new it wil have to wait!
It also so sits verrry low and is a project to get in and out!
Since these are so rare...I get plenty of looks!:)
Congrats, looks awesome!
Love the windscreen, but I've had trouble contacting D3cadillac about buying a windscreen... Seems unprofessional to me, wish we had more options or companies willing to work on the V series.
Try Windrestrictor.com.
They made the windrestrictor for my XLR-V.
You deal directly with the manufacturer and have many options to choose from.
The WindRestrictor looks and feels like it belongs with the car.

Just want butt-in, sometimes when my steering wheel is angled too much on a turn (or some other driving scenario where AWD should act automatically)-- it would slip the front tires and I can feel I don't move an inch. YES! there is seconds dead stop before AWD engages automatically.
IDK if anyone experienced this but my point I want to convey is-- I don't think it's 50/50 distribution from a dead stop.
I don't know exactly when this started but on 2nd gen Muranos, it's 50/50 AWD from a dead stop and 30/70 in turns fast enough to be controlled by the G sensor.
The easy way to tell is floor it from a stop light in the rain or in snow. Very obvious.
Even though I have a heavy foot, given the design of the transfer case, I would not encourage doing this very often in first generation Muranos. Flooring it on a slippery surface does hit the transfer case harder than incidental slippage from moderate acceleration. I don't suggest that the transfer case can't handle it, but that going to maximum loads repeatedly taxes the longevity of systems like this.
I try to be moderate when playing games with Murano, just out of respect for the drivetrain.
When I had a 66 GTO, I admit that I made some runs power-shifting it (right foot holds the gas pedal on the floor, then shift really fast and leave rubber strips when the next gear engages). It was tons of fun (including the 10 feet of rubber I could get going into 4th gear) but that doesn't mean it wasn't hard on the transmission, rear end and U-joints. Not something to be repeated often unless you're willing to break out the wrenches. A Murano is a much harder vehicle to work on than a '66 GTO.
My 2007 Murano awd was stuck on a snow bank last year that was about 1 foot high and very frozen. With the lock button depressed and indicator light on the right tires on muddy ground and the driver side on the snow the driver side would spin and the right side would not turn. So far there has been no concise answer that this is normal.
In extreme situations you can also use left foot braking along with the accelerator pedal to attempt to stop a spinning wheel and transfer power to the other wheel. This is essentially what happens in cars that use braking for traction control.
I haven't tried it in the Murano yet so not sure if it'll work since most newer cars cut power when the brake is depressed due to liability from unintended acceleration.

TU Spokesman Kills Brook Trout on the Outdoor Channel
Trout Unlimited has shut down Tellico because they say the offroaders are responsible for the demise of the Brook Trout in the Tellico River. That is obviously bullshit because the only place left on the Tellico River with any significant Brook Trout populations are the places the offroaders have been for years. Originally Brook Trout existed in the Tellico River from the headwaters down to at least the 1,600' elevation and probably much lower elevations. In reality, the native Brook Trout have only disappeared from the lower part of the Tellico River were the government hatcheries stock non-native Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout. Big Rainbow Trout and especially big Brown Trout kill and eat the smaller native Brook Trout. If offroaders were the ones killing the Brook Trout it would be the other way around; no Brook Trout where we ride and plenty of them where we don't ride.
Offroaders have not hurt the native Appalachian Brook Trout population on the Tellico River one damn bit. The introduction of the non-native Rainbow (which never existed east of the Mississippi River) and the Brown Trout (which never existed any where in North America) is the ONLY REASON the Brook Trout population in the lower portions of the Tellico River has declined.
Well, take a look at the following two short TU videos from the Outdoor Channel. The first one shows Trout Unlimited bragging about being responsible for introducing the non-native Brown Trout into the Henrys Fork of the Snake Rive in eastern Idaho. Frank is the TU spokes person who appears in all the TU shows. In the second video you will see how Frank likes to ride around in his V8 Yota dragin' that big Airstream around while he whines about how the petroleum industry is exploring for energy reserves in that area. I guess he thinks that Yota will run on bullshit and beer farts. You will also see him running around on backcountry dirt roads in the national forest were he is fishin'. Aren't these the same assholes who shut down our backcountry roads in Nantahala NF? I guess back country roads are OK if they run to a TU trout steam.
Both of these fish caught are non-native exotic species for any western river, but watch how the TU spokesperson treats these fish. The Brown Trout is carefully put back into the river to produce more non-native Brown Trout and to kill and eat the native Cutthroat Trout. The Brown Trout are the same species which are being stocked into the Tellico River to kill and eat the native trout there, which is the Appalachian Brook Trout. In the second video you will see what Frank does with the small Brook Trout he catches. Both the Brown Trout and Brook Trout are non-native fish to all rivers in the western U.S., but Frank releases the big Brown Trout and kills the small Brook Trout. He kills it because he claims it's a non-native species and is hard on the native Cutthroat Trout. I say BULL SHIT. These two videos demonstrate how the Brown Trout is considered to be a more desirable fish and that kind of thinking is why the Government hatcheries are dumping 1,000s of non-native Brown Trout into the Tellico each year to kill and eat the native and less desirable Appalachian Brook Trout. AND WE GET BLAMED FOR THIS SHIT.

Hey guys, can you keep it down out there? I've got enough headaches fighting these robots in here.
Definitely the GPIO. Do whatever you want, tear it apart and re-purpose the whole thing with new sensors/bits from the drawer.
Mess with the best, die like the rest.
Bonus points for the references (including picture) to the Nintendo Power Glove. My neighbor had that thing and it was AWESOME (didn't work worth crap, but that's not the point. It was awesome)!!
If you guys don't start being nice, I am just going to take my plane and go home!
Thanks for the reminder. I need to buy one of these for my little girl. She's not interested in doing the SIK stuff with my son and I, but when I mentioned she could get blinky lights and stuff on her backpack she got excited…..
This duck craps on my hand and I'll show you ugly duckling.
I got one of these and it just beeps. Constantly. I left it on for ~1 minute, constant beeping. Any ideas/suggestions? I'd love to use this, but having issues…..
No public wish lists :(

ST. LOUIS -- The prime of Aeneas Williams' career was spent with the Arizona Cardinals and that is the place where he is most remembered for his many accomplishments. But Williams spent the final four seasons of his career as a member of the St. Louis Rams.
Upon arrival in St. Louis, Williams moved to free safety and hardly missed a beat. Williams was first team All Pro in 2001 and went to the Pro Bowl in 2001 and 2003. Many will remember him as a Cardinal but for fans of the Rams and in St. Louis, Williams' legacy goes far beyond his short stint playing for the Rams.
Williams was one of the most beloved players on the roster during his four seasons in St. Louis and is still revered around the city. The statement from Rams COO Kevin Demoff sent out Saturday night succinctly summed up how Williams is viewed by the Rams and their fans.
"On behalf of the St. Louis Rams, I'd like to congratulate Aeneas on this well-deserved honor," Demoff said. "Aeneas's four seasons in a Rams uniform capped off his Hall of Fame career, playing a key role in helping the club reach the franchise's third Super Bowl. While his play alone earned him this honor, Aeneas is also a Hall of Fame person. He remains extremely active in the St. Louis community and the Rams are grateful for the way he continues to contribute to our city and our organization."
There's little doubt that Williams' work on the field was Hall of Fame worthy. His 55 interceptions, 23 fumble recoveries and 12 defensive touchdowns speak for themselves. We could dig into all of the numbers here but there's no denying that the body of work is Hall of Fame worthy.
What isn't taken into account in Hall of Fame discussions is character and personality. In those terms, Williams seemed to be born a Hall of Famer. I was only able to cover Williams for one year, his final NFL season in 2004, but he remains one of the classiest players I've been around in my decade covering the team.
Much of that final season was injury-plagued and Williams appeared in 13 games in the only season of his 14-year career in which he didn't come up with at least one interception. While his career was winding down, Williams never seemed to let it effect his professional approach. Week after week, Williams would answer any and all questions.
Even with his skills declining, Williams never made excuses and was incredibly influential for young defensive backs such as Travis Fisher and Jerametrius Butler as the Rams made a run to the playoffs, the only one they've had in the past 10 years.
When the season was over, Williams quietly faded into the background, never so much as announcing his retirement. Every time I saw him after that, he looked like he could still play.
That's right, Williams is still easily seen around these parts. He and his wife founded the Spirit Church in town, where Williams serves as pastor. The family is involved in plenty of philanthropic endeavors around the area as well.
Williams also serves as a sort of unofficial mentor for the Rams, a way for him to stay around the game while also working to help young people. Williams has been a consistently positive influence for Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins, for example.
Unlike baseball, the Pro Football Hall of Fame does not have team affiliations on player busts nor require them to declare a team as the one with which he's most closely associated.
If it did, Williams would almost certainly go in as a Cardinal after spending 10 years in Arizona. But that doesn't mean the Rams and St. Louis have any reason to not count him as one of their own.
Williams is an adopted son of St. Louis and Rams fans. Now, the Pro Football Hall of Fame should be proud to do the same.

UTEP Soccer To Kick Off 2014 Season At Home Friday
Aug. 19, 2014
EL PASO, TEXAS – The UTEP soccer team will kick off its 19th season in program history when it plays host to Texas State at University Field 7 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for kids while participants from the Miner Soccer Academies will get in free with their camp shirt.
The UTEP Alumni Association pre-game tailgate will start at 5:30 p.m. There will be the chance to win prizes and enjoy free food courtesy of Rudy's Country Store and BBQ, while supplies last.
Fans who are unable to arrive early can get prepped for the contest by tuning into Sports Talk with Steve Kaplowitz on AM 600 ESPN El Paso, who will be broadcasting live from the field from 4-7 p.m.
"UTEP Soccer is very excited to kick off the 2014 season this Friday at home against a very strong Texas State team," head coach Kevin Cross said. "Texas State is very well coached, plays great soccer, and always gives us a great game. It is one of the top teams in the Sun Belt Conference."
"We are excited to get the season under way, and we will give our all in 2014. We know many people are suffering from World Cup withdrawal, so come out and join the El Paso American Outlaws at our game on Friday night. It will be a fun night!
"We are very thankful for the alumni association and Jackie Reed for again hosting the Alumni Association Tailgate. We appreciate the awesome barbecue from Rudy's for the tailgate, and KROD ESPN Radio and Steve Kaplowitz for broadcasting live from University Field on Friday."
The Miners, coming off a 12-6-3, 5-3-2 Conference USA mark during the 2013 season, return six starters and 18 letterwinners from that squad. There are seven true freshmen in the mix as well, giving Cross a big roster to work with. He did a masterful job in the situation last year, utilizing a deep bench to keep everyone fresh. The result was a 9-5-0 record in games decided by one goal.
UTEP has a youth-laden roster in 2014, with 16 of the 24 active players being either freshmen (seven) or sophomores (nine). The most well-known name in the group is preseason All C-USA selection and sophomore midfielder Aleah Davis but fellow classmates Alexa Bain and Bri Barreiro were fixtures in the starting line-ups a year ago.
UTEP's four healthy seniors (D Hannah Asuchak, GK Sarah Dilling, MF Mackenzie German and D Tayler O'Hayre) will be called upon to aid in the development of the younger players while providing steady leadership on and off the pitch.
UTEP is 15-3 in season openers, including 12-1 under Cross. The Miners will also be in search of their 100th home win since 2002. They are 99-17-7 in the Sun City in the timeframe. UTEP has enjoyed success against Texas State, leading the series 9-2-0.
As impressive as all of those numbers sound, they are absolutely meaningless come Friday night. UTEP's focus will be on the task at hand of toppling a program tabbed fourth in an underrated Sun Belt Conference. The Bobcats return seven starters and 16 letterwinners from last year's squad that finished 8-9-2. Headlining that group are preseason All Sun Belt Conference selections F Lynsey Curry and D Brenna Smith.
The Last Meeting
September 15, 2013
San Marcos, Texas

The Sedu Experiment
Okay, okay. I bought a Sedu 1" flat iron. I was curious, okay? Also, my 3B hair in the rear half of my head was doing a shag thing and I needed a cut-- badly. I'll admit, I have never picked my natural hair out, stretched it, or blow- dried it, even. I've been too terrified of ruining my kinks and curls.
I got the Sedu based on the recs on this site, and it seemed to work well-- I washed my hair, added a heat protectant, blew it dry, then sectioned my hair in little pieces. It took the better part of 2 hours, but this flat iron is GREAT! I have these horrible memories of presses and this was nothing like those.
The Sedu got hot really quickly. I tried it on the lowest setting, which basically did nothing for my hair. I was too scared to try it above the next setting. This morning after my workout I had a poofball, so I washed it, but I think I've got the courage to try it on a higher setting now that I've seen that there was no damage to my kinks.
Some things I noticed--the Sedu got pretty hot on the outside-- too hot too touch for any extended period of time. Also, my ends would not seem to straighten no matter what I did.
I'm new at this, so I'm sure I'll figure it all out, but I wanted to share a pretty positive experience overall.
WELL I HAVE THE SEDU TOO! execpt the inch and half..
perosnally , its the best straigthener i have ever used on my hair :)
(and thats with 3b too:P lol)
I want the SEDU. I think when i'm an adult i'll sell my SOLIA and use the money to buy the SEDU
