The girls are fine, cant do much with em on our strings in this society but don't knock yourself when you try what I see as far more interesting things. This frame right here is straight out of a Tarantino film. Corporate Ladder is another masterpiece of yours and you didn't need tits or ass to sell its scale and scope. Who has it in your head that we only want your porn? Fuck I wont even call it porn, slap clothes on them and porn becomes character models. Reality is a perception of semi-truths.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Really good creation of a scene. The shadows and silhouettes all look pretty damn great, supreme lighting coming off from the headlights of the car and with the red lights shining on the dude in the middle. And the guy in the tree looks like the Vault Boy, and I always liked to imagine the Vault Boy as a psychotic maniac which brings a smile to my face. Overall, great contrast, great composition study, especially if it was quick.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is awesome.

Brawl broadcast Russian talk show
In Russia on one of the TV show there was a fight between the Polish journalist Tomasz Mazacam and the former Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the seventh convocation of Ukraine Igor Markov of words about Ukraine.
Mateychuk, stated that "Ukrainians want to live like normal people, not Russians".
The transcript of the altercation results in the publication "Vesti":
Marachuk: And now, when we talk about money, I want to congratulate Romania on a victory. And you know why? Because today, in Romania the average salary is higher than in Russia. Latvia is also higher.
Markov: It's the Ukrainians advise, for the money they all sell.
Marachuk: the Ukrainians also want to live like normal people and not shit like you.
Babayan: did I just hear right that we live in shit?
Marachuk: Right, of course, correct. Compare your…
Babayan: (throwing in Maracucha paper) Yes, it's you the shit live!
Markov: (going to Maracucho) Sheep, get out of here. Get out of here. Just try to pull. Get out of here. (addressing the presenter) a novel need to get him out.
Marachuk: When you say that we live in shit, is it good?
Markov: You're too young, you at least have the respect to show.
Marachuk: I Have a right to their point of view.
Markov: not necessary to insult, okay?
Marachuk: Who said "hang up, creature" is not an insult? When you call the poles "no whore" is not insulting?
Markov: When? Where? Why are you yelling?
Marachuk: When you insult Lithuanians, Estonians, Latvians, poles – is this normal?
After that, the parties started the fight.

We use the Merant driver, now known as DataDirect. Just do a search on DataDirect, and select a flat-file single user driver in the download section. then you'll see Pervasive and you'll be able to download the appropriate file.
It is not cheap though and comes at a price. You can try it with an 'eval' licence but I belive that it will not let you post to the database, just read from it.

I assume you want the Btrieve 6.15 ODBC driver (not 5.16). Look on Goldstar Software's web site here:

Have you heard of OpenLink Software?
You can download a single tier driver which you can use in conjunction with the Betrieve native driver to gain connectivity from other O/S's
I think you will find it is slightly cheaper the DataDirect??
But again the Eval downloads are still available.

There are a lot of dudes out there who can skate it all. You almost have to be skating everything these days to even sort of remain relevant amongst the crazy blur of web videos and Internet features that are fed to us daily. This isn't the case for everyone, but for others, mixing it up definitely doesn't hurt. There is something about a well-rounded part that really pleases the eyes. Knowing that some dude can Smith grind a handrail as good as he can Smith grind some pool coping is rad. They are the dudes who can and will skate every spot on every trip, and take a unique approach no matter what; less thinking, more doing; the perfect combination.
This list has no order, and there is probably another list of guys who should be mentioned all the same, but to me, these dudes are impossible to over look. Due to the Internet and YouTube, I was only able to find the random footage below to portray these specific individual's all-terrain-ness, but if I were you, I'd suggest somehow watching all of their current parts to really get a taste of their well-rounded skill.

Knesset May Raise Sentences for Hit-and-run Drivers
Current maximum prison sentence for a hit-and-run driver is nine years.
On Tuesday, the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee approved a bill for its second and third reading that would impose a maximum 14-year prison term on drivers who flee the scene after having been involved in an accident in which someone is seriously injured or killed.
The current maximum prison sentence for a hit-and-run driver is nine years.
The committee also approved for further readings another amendment to the law, by which the failure of a driver involved in an accident where someone is seriously injured to call for help would result in a maximum seven-year prison sentence.
The Public Defender's Office told the committee it opposed the proposed sentence as "extraordinary" and over the top.
It said that in such a case, where a potential perpetrator is under great emotional stress and is not making rational decisions, such a lengthy sentence will not be a deterrent.
A Social Affairs Ministry probation officer who works with hit-and-run drivers agreed. "There must be a message of deterrence, but we must also consider the damage to normal young people who will be thrown into jail for many years with criminals," Eti Segal said.

Doughnuts, cookies, cider, hot chocolate, a few scares—oh, and $500 of Morenci Money.
There will be plenty to eat and things to do and win Saturday night at Wakefield Park at the Morenci Area Chamber of Commerce Haunted Park and Hay Ride event.
Activities for younger kids begin at 6 p.m. with pumpkin painting and candy give-aways. Older children can walked through a spook house or try out the straw maze.
At dusk, a bonfire will be lit and the Haunted Hayride will begin. A wagon will transport guests into the north, undeveloped portion of the park where unexpected frights await.
A drawing is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. when $500 of Morenci Money will be given away. The grand prize is for $100 and the remained of the money will be given in smaller denominations.
Winners will have 24 hours to spend their special dollars at any Chamber member store. After that, the bills will become worthless.
Chamber members stores will continue to give away entry blanks this week—one entry ticket for each $5 worth of a purchase. Entries should be taken to the park Saturday night where they will be placed in the drawing barrel. You must be present to win.
Last year's Halloween event and drawing drew an enormous crowd to Wakefield Park and Chamber members are hoping to make it even better in this second year.

The Denver Broncos hope DeMarcus Ware -- he of the 117 career sacks, seven Pro Bowl selections and seven seasons with at least 11 sacks -- can have a positive impact on uber-talented linebacker Von Miller in the days and weeks ahead.
And this week Ware said he received some advice from a Hall of Famer that the team certainly hopes works its way back to Miller.
As Ware prepares to enter his 10th season he was asked if he had taken the time to break down some of the great pass-rushers, including Hall of Famers, or sought them out for tips on maintaining a high performance level at this stage of his career.
"Actually, I have," Ware said as the Broncos opened their offseason program at the team's Dove Valley complex. "Actually, they got a little bit more consistent in what they were doing. I actually talked to Michael Strahan and he tells me, 'You know what? You've got to make sure you're lean. Make sure you're able to run, because your body now is a totally different deal once you hit the 30s. So you've got to make sure you're able to stay out there on the field and you have the endurance.' That's what I'm trying to do now."
It is something Ware has been successful at throughout his career. The Broncos list Ware at 6-foot-4 and 258 pounds on their current roster. At the 2005 NFL scouting combine, Ware was listed at 6-4 and 251 pounds, so physically Ware is largely the same player now as he was when he entered the league almost a decade ago.
Ware said he had already spent time watching game tape with Miller, talking about specific pass-rush moves in a variety of situations against a variety of offensive linemen. But there are certainly plenty of people in and around the Broncos who hope Ware extends the message to Miller about staying lean.
Miller's weight was a topic of conversation last season when he returned from his six-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. The bottom line is many Broncos' decision-makers and Miller's teammates saw him as a special player when he tipped the scales between the 246 pounds he weighed at the 2011 scouting combine and the 255 pounds he said he weighed during the 2012 season when he had 18.5 sacks.
But even before his suspension last year, Miller had made the decision -- for reasons he only described as "it could help me" -- to get bigger. He said he was just over 260 pounds when the Broncos gathered for their offseason program a year ago and by the time he returned from his suspension in October he said he was just over 270 pounds so he "could play with more power."
And while he flashed the disruptive play that put him in the conversation for the league's Defensive Player of the Year award in the 2012 season, Miller wasn't consistently the same player when he returned to the field in 2013 as he had been the year before. He finished with five sacks in nine games before he tore a ligament in his knee in December against the Houston Texans.
Given he is returning from an ACL injury, it would seem playing at a lighter weight would help take some stress off the joint even as he works to strength the muscles around the knee. The Broncos currently list Miller at 6-3, 250 pounds, but they also listed him at that last season when Miller said he weighed at least 20 pounds more when he returned in Week 7 from his league-imposed punishment.
But at a few offseason appearances, Miller has looked slightly leaner than he did last season. Broncos coach John Fox has said "everything is on target," with Miller's return, but he is expected to be limited during the team's organized team activities (OTAs) in May and June and, at the moment, is not expected to participate fully in training camp.
"Now I have an opportunity to shed some advice onto him," Ware said. "He is a great player and I look forward to playing with him this season."

ChristianAnswers.Net WebBible Encyclopedia
This name comes from the Saxon word (Eostre), denoting a goddess of the Saxons, in honor of whom sacrifices were offered about the time of the Passover. Hence the name came to be given to the festival of the Resurrection of Christ, which occurred at the time of the Passover.
In the early English versions of the Bible, this word was frequently used as the translation of the Greek pascha (the Passover). When the Authorized Version [King James Bible] (1611) was formed, the word "passover" was used in all passages in which this word pascha occurred, except in Act 12:4. In the Revised [King James] Version the proper word, "passover," is always used.

In the past few weeks, bloggers from BetaNews, Gizmodo and TechCrunch have ripped apart the Galaxy Note (and devices like it). You can find their posts here (1, 2, and 3).
They have gotten slammed in the comment sections, but I am feeling the need to pile on a bit. Here's my problem with it; when you write, personal/anecdotal evidence can only get you so far. At some point, you have to look for real, provable facts. 5M people have bought the Samsung Galaxy Note, it's available worldwide (just like the iPhone) and is only available on a few networks. I personally have one, and it is completely different than any other smartphone I've ever used.
It is a truly polarizing device. Everyone who sees it (love or hate) is intrigued. I find the Note superior to any other handheld device for gaming or video watching. The screen is great for web browsing, stumble upon, reading and more. Replying to texts/emails is easier for me (larger buttons, and works great w/ SwiftKey Tablet X in landscape mode) - but I have larger than regular hands. I agree it is not for everyone, but should we not have some variety to choose from in our devices?
Apple's 3.5" screens are not for everyone, the 4.3" standard Android screen is not for everyone, and the 5"+ screens are not for everyone. But that's entirely why we have choice, you find the device that fits you best. Blasting Samsung and LG for creating "larger than life" devices is ridiculous. There is clearly demand, (5M is not a drop in the bucket). Just because YOU do not like a device, does not mean it has no value to offer others. These writers clearly need a reality check. Too many writers are putting technology in a box - they only accept new gadgets that fit into their personal schema of what technology should be.
While I am undoubtedly biased towards the Android/Google ecosystem, that does not mean I refuse to accept those of other ecosystems. I have often recommended Apple products to friends if I think they fit their needs. I've bought iPods, Kindles and Nooks for family members - because I felt those devices best fit their technology capabilities and ambitions. At the end of the day, smartphones (especially) and other technology choices need to be calculated and informed decisions, and that is part of what I aim to do.
Technology competition is what has made Android 4.x and iOS 5.x what they are today. It is why we are getting smaller, lighter more capable devices - because everyone has to innovate to stay in the market. Competition improves all hardware and software capabilities, while providing better devices to the user.
I, for one, welcome the new and zany devices that OEMs come up with (even if I think they are wasting their money). We should all welcome new technology platforms, because they give us, the consumer more choice.

For those of you sick of hearing about my trip to New Mexico, I will move on soon, I promise. There's just too much to say (that came up there) related to breakthroughs!
Being in and amongst the poets, memoirists, and novelists for 7 full days was interesting - I have mentioned this before.
One of the ways in which breakthroughs, and learning in general, happen is through cognitive dissonance. The definition of cognitive dissonance is:
The sense of discomfort people experience when confronted by contradictory ideas.
Dissonance occurs when things feel not quite right, or we realize we are more clueless that we thought. I was in Taos, chatting it up with the other writers, and I could not have felt more DUMB. Hanging around business people, I generally feel "with it" and knowledgeable. I realized that I have not read nearly enough nonbusiness books. There were authors and books that EVERYONE had read and could comment about that I had never heard of. No exaggeration. This happened many times during the seven days while in casual conversations or during the workshops.
Wow, my reading habits are way too narrow! Here's a few books I got while in Taos and will endeavor to get through in the next month.
What about you? Is your reading habit stuck in a rut? Changing what we read is like changing our context, but much easier. Pick up a book that you would not normally.
If you read literary fiction - pick up a cheesy, funny, lite book, like a Dave Barry novel (Or my favorite, Carl Hiaasen).
If you read a ton of business books - pick up a book of poetry.
If you read mostly national big publishers books, pick up a small press (or self-published) book by a local author.
If you read dozens of magazines and blogs, take a week off and read more for pleasure.

Saigon explains in a public apology that he does not want to harm Rick Ross or 2 Chainz, he only made those comments to get his interview seen.
Saigon recently said he'd like to punch Rick Ross and 2 Chainz because he doesn't like the adult content in their music.
However, it seems Saigon only made these comments to garner views from his Breakfast Club interview, as he has now recanted them. Posting a message and apology on his Facebook page, Saigon explains he knows what it takes to gets people's attention in the music industry, so that's why he said what he said. However, he doesn't take back what he said about inappropriate music being marketed towards children.
"I say them things on purpose," he wrote on Facebook. "If U notice I say people names at the end of the interview.In my mind Im thinking I just dropped a deep interview but I have to say some super ignorant shit to bring people to even watch it so I said a name or 2… I just been doing this for a while and I understand how the Hip Hop media works..I hope those 2 guys understand it was simply a strategy and not personal at all.. Though I DONT agree with their content. I do not want to cause them any harm or see them harmed."
He echoed this statement on Twitter, explaining he just wanted to make his interview more provocative to gain the public's attention.
Ol timer told me if U put a playboy cover on the Bible, more people will read it. Thats what I do with these interviews. Make em provacative— Saigon (@TheRealSaigon) November 17, 2012

Last weekend I headed to Cost Plus in Santa Rosa to buy my first ever jar of Vegemite. Shockingly, the cupboard was bare. Well, actually, competitor Marmite, was squatting in the shelf-facing. A helpful employee checked inventory status and we discovered that every Cost Plus store from Santa Rosa to Monterey was out-of-stock and the importer's next shipment of Vegemite would be next month.
Retailers selling on Amazon also appeared to be low on stock.
On Monday I left a message with San Francisco's Australia Fair asking if it had Vegemite in stock. No call back.
Then I contacted the stores below and learned that they were also out-of-stock.
Mollie Stone's
Oliver's Market
Big John's
I also called Sigona's and Milk Pail and learned that they haven't carried Vegemite.
Then a lapsed chowhound suggested Australian Products Co. in San Jose. A quick call uncovered that this appears to be Vegemite Central for the Bay Area currently, stocking a variety of Vegemite sizes (need a five-pound tub?) and Vegemite snacks too. Here's the store's page devoted to Vegemite.
Now having tasted it, the 400g jar ($15.95) will probably last a lifetime though the Best Before date is 15 September 2013.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Fuel Pump problem on 1996 Ford Aerostar
Got new complete sending unit and both lines are hot, but when I plug it in to fuel pump its not receiving juice to the pump. Had the fuel pump checked and its good so what could be the problem? When I unplug the ground wire and put a test light to it its hot, but when I plug it back into place its not hot on either side coming to it. Can somebody please help me resolve this issue?
I'm looking at the wiring diagram at it shows 4 wires to the sending unit, and a solid black wire for the ground, is that where you are getting 12 volts? And the ground wire is not connected? And you have 12 volts to the pink/black wire only when trying to start the car?
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Pinsent Masons has boosted its partnership with the addition of a lawyer from SJ Berwin's fund formation team.
Daniel Greenaway, a senior associate at SJ Berwin, joins Pinsents as a partner in its funds team after spending almost six years at his current firm.
Greenaway has experience structuring and closing buyout and debt funds. He also works on fund-related M&A deals, including the establishment of co-investment funds, the acquisition of funds and acquisition structuring.
Pinsent Masons' fund structuring practice was kick-started by partner Ian Warner, who joined from Ashurst three years ago.
"[Greenaway's] appointment supports our aim to significantly grow our funds team and the wider corporate and banking and finance teams in London," said Warner. "Fund formation has certainly picked up from where we were 12 months ago, although it's still taking a long time to raise funds."
In January 2007 SJ Berwin lost three partners – Mark Mifsud, Richard Watkins and Justin Dolling – in a raid by Kirkland & Ellis, which was looking to build a funds team in London (TheLawyer 10 January 2011).
They were later joined by a number of associates from the SJ Berwin team.
SJ Berwin has seen a number of departures in recent months, with outsourcing chief David Meredith joining Reynolds Porter Chamberlain (7 March 2011), corporate partner Tandeep Minhas joining Taylor Wessing (8 December 2010) and real estate chief Jon Vivian leading a four-partner team that defected to Irwin Mitchell with a team of lawyers (27 September 2010).

In many ways it's the perfect storm. The economy is in a slump, state budgets are ultra tight and more people than ever understand the benefits of post-secondary education. As a result, Southern Maine Community College in South Portland is experiencing ever-increasing demand for its programs just as additional funding from the state is tough to come by.
On Thursday night the college threw a party under a tent at its gorgeous oceanfront campus to thank the business partners who have made it possible for the college to continue to meet the work force training needs of the local community in these tough economic times.
"If you look around campus, you'll see all our programs are up-to-date," President James Ortiz told the crowd. "And that's because of you."
The college has a commitment to small class sizes and as a result many of its most popular degree programs have a cap on the number of students who can enroll. Ortiz explained that the college, which expects enrollment to top 7,000 this year, has to turn away roughly 2,000 students each year.
"Right now enrollment is up 17 percent this year," Kaylene Waindle, the college's dean of advancement, explained to me. "We're in a down economy and enrollment is up and funding is down. We really wanted to thank the people who are bridging the gap for us."
To illustrate the demand for the college's program's, Waindle told me that "our electrical degree program filled in 30 minutes this year. Our nursing program has a three year waiting list."
When I had a chance to chat with Ortiz before his remarks, he explained that the emphasis on business partnerships began in 2002, when the college was forced to close its automotive program. Ortiz then met with the Maine Automotive Dealers Association, whose members pledged more than half a million dollars to develop a new state-of-the-art automotive program, which now has 90 students. Similar partnerships followed this successful joint venture.
During his remarks, Ortiz presented awards in the form of photographs of Spring Point Light to honor those who've been particularly helpful to the college.
Mark Duval of the Breakwater Daybreak Rotary Club and Sybil Riemensnider of the South Portland-Cape Elizabeth Rotary Club accepted awards on behalf of their organizations. The two clubs work together to host the annual International Food Festival at SMCC, with all the proceeds going to support scholarships for international and multicultural students.
Chris Emmons, the president of Gorham Savings Bank, accepted an award on behalf of the bank, which has been extremely supportive of the college's business department. State Sen. Stan Gerzofsky, whom Ortiz called "our Godfather," received the final award for his tireless work to secure space on the former Brunswick Naval Air Station for the new SMCC Midcoast Campus, which is expected to open next year.
Carol Taylor of Disability RMS told me how her company received $28,000 from the Governor's Training Initiative to allow the organization to hire and train 30 new employees. The training was done by SMCC.
"It's all thanks to SMCC," Taylor told me. "They suggested it to me and helped me fill out the paperwork."
Another recipient of a Governor's Training Initiative grant was Moody's Collision Centers. The company is headed by Shawn Moody, who is running for governor as an independent, and was at the party with his wife, Chris Moody.
"What SMCC has offered us is the opportunity to take leadership and communications classes to allow our organization to grow," Moody said. "The training is portable. It's crucial when you're growing an organization."
Lynne Gaudette, chief administrative officer for Goodwill Industries of Northern New England, and Susan Smith, the organization's head of human resources, told me about a new program the nonprofit is offering to its employees that allows them to enroll in classes at SMCC.
"It doesn't need to be connected to their job," Smith said. "It just needs to be their dream."
The Portland and South Portland school systems are also partnering with the college.
"The community college system has a liberal arts program where the first two years can be transferred" to a four-year school, Portland Superintendent James Morse told me. "SMCC is part of the way we're convincing kids to go to college."
The collaboration is similar in South Portland.
"We have a joint program for college aspirations," said South Portland's Superintendent Suzanne Godin.
She said many students for whom English is not their first language have been able to do early college course work through SMCC.
Party guests also got to hear from SMCC student Ater Ater. Now in his second year in the school's criminal justice program, Ater came to the U.S. as a child when his family fled civil war in Sudan. He attends SMCC on the James Angelo Memorial Scholarship, given in honor of a Mercy Hospital security guard who had hoped to pursue a criminal justice career before he was killed while on duty. This past summer Ater participated in the Portland Police Department's summer cadet program.
"The teachers here are organized and always open to questions," Ater said. "I ask a lot of questions. Because of the education I'm receiving here, I'm able to take my textbook knowledge and see how it's applied at the Portland Police Department."
Ater concluded his remarks by encouraging party guests to make monetary donations to the college.
When Ortiz thanked Ater for his remarks, he said, "He's going to be a great president because he knows how to make the ask."

After spending five years preparing for one season, where do Bryant and coach Tim O'Shea go next? The Bulldogs were finally eligible to compete for a berth in the NCAA tournament last season, and they made the most of it, improving by 17 wins overall. Now Bryant has to work on sustaining that success, which could be difficult after losing Frankie Dobbs, one of the biggest keys to the Bulldogs' up-tempo attack.

"Excellent finish to a classic series."
Best ending imaginable
Hard to say without spoiling it all for others. Sorry.
Silly question. OK,,um Rumpole?
Jeez. Rumpole, First Blood?
Yes. This is my real recommendation/review. I've been a fan of Rumpole for about forty years and I had never heard/read this before. I'm so very glad that I finally did. A wonderful last chapter that would please anybody; particularly fans. Perfect.
"Great book"
Loved it. Narrator made for a very enjoyable read. Reminded me of the TV actor.
"Patrick Tull is a brilliant Rumpole"
This is a great listen thanks to Patrick Tull, who is barely distinguishable from the original, definitive Rumpole (Leo McKern). I recommend seeking out his versions of John Mortimer's classic stories wherever possible. For some reason only two of the Rumpole books that Mr Tull has read are available on Audible UK; another four can be downloaded from Audible's US site, but only if you have access to an American credit card. It would be great if Audible could sort out anomalies like this. The author, publisher and narrator are the same for all six books, so why are some of the titles not permitted to cross the Atlantic?

Domestic Violence (cont.)
Risk Factors for Domestic Violence
A number of studies have looked into identifying individuals who are most at risk for domestic violence. The most common feature is an imbalance of power and control. However, neither those who experience domestic violence nor the partners who abuse them fall into distinct categories. They can be of any age, ethnicity, income level, or level of education. The following are examples of situations that are common among people who experience domestic violence. It is important to understand that anyone can be abused.
Although the abusers also share some common characteristics, it is important to note that abusers choose violence to get what they want in a relationship. Risk factors may point to an increased likelihood of violence in a relationship, but the person is not destined to become violent because of the presence of certain risk factors. The violence is not justifiable because it happened while the abuser was in a blind rage that he or she was powerless to control. The following factors may indicate an increased likelihood that a person may choose violence:

Lightroom 4 Review
1 Lightroom 4 Review
|2 Next
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 offers an impressive list of features, the vast majority of which will be familiar to those who explored the previously-released public beta Adobe made available in January.
These include a completely new book-creation module, expanded support for video, soft proofing capability, and geo-tagging of still and video images via a Google Maps-powered module. Image editing tools have also been significantly updated, with a new process version (PV2012) that includes a reworking of the Basic panel controls and new localized editing options. If you've spent time playing with the public beta and are already comfortable using these features, you can jump ahead to a listing of the few (and mostly minor) changes that have gone into the shipping version of Lightroom 4.
One welcome surprise to everyone, though, is Adobe's announcement of a 50% price drop. For the first time in Lightroom's five year history, the retail price is now $149 US for a full version. Upgrade pricing for current users as well as the student/teacher versions also see a (more modest) price reduction to $79 US.
I've been using the shipping version of Lightroom 4 for a few weeks with my own personal image catalog and in this review I'll take you through the tools and features that have changed since Lightroom 3. Keep in mind this is not a step-by-step Lightroom tutorial, rather an illustrated guide to what has been added and updated. My goal is to explain the new features so that you can decide whether the upgrade to Lightroom 4 is one you should make. Of course, if you've already decided to take the plunge, this article will help you get started in exploring these new features for yourself.
We'll take a look at the following features:
- Develop module (part 1)
- Develop module (part 2)
- Book module
- Map module
- Soft proofing
- Video support
- Changes for public beta users
System requirements
Before we get started it's important to note that the minimum system requirements for Lightroom have changed. Lightroom 4 does not support 32-bit Macs. You must be running a 64-bit Intel processor and OS 10.6.8 or higher (read this Apple support document to determine whether your Mac has a 64-bit processor). On the Windows side, support for Windows XP has been dropped. Lightroom now requires a version of Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Develop module
Lightroom 4 introduces Process Version (PV) 2012. What's a process version and why should you care? Well, it's the image processing engine behind Lightroom (and Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw plug-in). The Lightroom engineers make periodic tweaks to its components to provide better image rendering and/or enable new editing functionality. While the rendering performance sees some minor changes, PV2012 stands out by introducing a redesigned and recalibrated set of the Develop module's Basic panel tools, along with more localized editing options. Simply put, PV2012 is of huge consequence for every serious Lightroom user. Its changes are significant and will have a direct effect on your editing workflow.
As with the introduction of previous process versions, Lightroom, by default honors the current (in this case PV2010) process version of your existing images. If you desire, you can simply go on working as you always have. But should you choose to update an image to PV2012, a whole host of new functionality awaits.
Basic panel
Select any image in the Develop module that was imported in Lightroom 3 or earlier and you'll notice a warning icon in the lower right (shown below), indicating the image has not been updated to PV2012.
|A warning icon appears at the bottom of the Develop module when an image processed via PV2010 or earlier (circled in red) is displayed.
After clicking the icon you can choose to update the selected image or all images in the filmstrip. Once an image is updated to PV2012 you will notice a revised collection of tools in the Basic Panel (shown below), as well as a noticeable change to the appearance of your image.
Gone from the Basic panel are the Recovery, Fill Light and Brightness sliders. Instead, what you see in Lightroom 4 is a separate grouping of sliders labeled Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks. Moving any of these sliders to the right (a positive value) brightens pixels. Negative adjustments darken pixels. The default value for all items in the Basic Panel is now set to 0 for raw files, just as they have always been for JPEG images.
|Many of the Basic panel controls
in Lightroom 3 (shown above)...
|...have been changed in version
4 with default values set to 0.
It's very important to understand that for many of the Basic panel tools, the internal effects ranges have been changed, meaning that a slider value of say +50 in a PV 2010 tool may not correspond to +50 in the equivalent PV2012 tool. When updating PV2010 (or earlier) images which already contain manual Basic panel adjustments, slider values will be carried over or 'transposed' to the appropriate PV2012 settings. But the appearence of your image will change, often significantly. For this reason, I encourage you to apply PV2012 on an image by image basis to your existing photos to get a feel for what the new tools can do. Or simply import new images, which will automatically get the newest process version, and explore the new features with those images.
White balance
The WB selector's sample area is now zoom-dependant, mimicing the behavior seen in Adobe Camera Raw. Clicking with the WB tool on an image displayed in say a 1:2 (50%) view will result in a white balance calculation based on a wider range of pixels than performing the same action with the image at a 1:1 view. Put more simply, when you adjust the Scale slider for the WB selector's loupe window, the image area you see in the grid is now the same area that LR will sample to determine WB.
|The loupe window of the WB selector
indicates the sampling area on which the
WB calculation will be made.
|Setting the Scale slider to the lowest
possible magnification results in a wider
area of pixels from which to sample.
Sampling over a wider area of pixels should lead to more accurate WB settings in noisy images by minimizing the impact of random pixel values. In previous versions of Lightroom, a consistent grid of pixels was being sampled regardless of the image view or Scale slider setting.

I own it
I want it
I had it
Discuss in the forums
"support for Windows XP has been dropped" thats that for me then. Stupid Adobe, i bet there are still million people who use XP.
My wife works at school and all the school's computers have XP ... what does that tell you Adobe?
... i wonder if it still installs tho. :/
It tells me that the schools need to upgrade their machines soon. Windows XP is over 10 years old, hasn't been sold in retail for 4 years, hasn't been option on prebuilt PCs for almost 2 years, and Microsoft has been phasing Windows XP into EOL over the past few years. Support for XP was supposed to stop all together about 2 years ago but Microsoft decided to extend the limited "Extended Support" out to 2014 due to the large user base and demand. Essentially, everyone has had at least a 2 years notice.
If Adobe continued to offer support for every past operating system out there, then there would be no progress with the application. It would bloat, performance increases would be minimal, etc. all for the sake of expanded compatibility.
As Artistico said, you can continue to use LR3. It still works.
Or with LR4 being cheaper now, you could by a copy of Windows 7 64-bit and an upgrade of LR4 for the same price or less than a full version of LR3 would have cost when it first came out.
So somehow magically schools and corps will have the money to upgrade their Windows with all the required support headaches, just because VirtualaMirage says the should? Me, I'd rather they spend money on jobs and minimize further levies.
No, the smart idea is just don't upgrade lightroom....or buy it at all.
Like the company I work for, which is still running XP and Office 2003 - because its been working fine for years, and we have IT staff to support it.
It would be "nice" if they could afford to upgrade to the latest & greatest, but it isn't critical for what we do.
"...it isn't critical for what we do." Exactly. To run my large format printer RIP, I use Windows XP and Onyx Poster Shop. For email, accounting and calendar and basic photoshop work, I use a G5 with Mac OS10.4. For downloading, sorting and editing 2000 or so images after an assignment, I use the latest and the greatest.
Task appropriate tools are one of the keys to smooth workflow and high quality product. LR just got a heck of a lot better, and if that requires a new computer, then that's the price of quality.
I work in IT with well over 1,000 servers in my environment with 50x that in client machines that are still on XP that will be upgraded to 7 in the next year.
My statement wasn't meant to be crude, it's just a fact. Support for XP is going away. When support ends, you're screwed.
Us techs can't create our own patches for the OS. Sometimes, we need to call MS for support. In an environment where IA is breathing down our necks for increased security, this is not an option.
Yes, XP has one of the largest user bases. Why is that? Is it superior to all other OS's out there? No. Is it more secure? Nope. Is it because of how long it has been out with no refresh and how easy it was to pirate? Ding, ding...I think we have a winner.
MS would not be doing itself any favors by continuing support of XP. The longer XP is supported, the larger the user base will get. That makes it harder to innovate and convince other to upgrade to a superior, more secure product.
Change is inevitable.
And just an addendum since I ran out of space:
Why does it matter if your schools or corporate environment are still using XP? Do they need Lightroom 4 on all their PCs as well? And if so, why would the need for a newer version of Lightroom outweigh the need to upgrade their OS, where the cost between the two would essentially be about the same?
I've never seen a school or corporate environment have such a desire for a product that they need on all their machines where their existing hardware doesn't support it. If so, then their priorities are out of order. Usually, they will have a few dedicated machines that are capable for this tasking, especially for editing.
If XP is still suiting their needs, great. There are still several products out there that run fine on XP. They are just going to find that more and more software developers will be doing the same thing soon and fewer and fewer new programs will be supported on the antiquated OS. Just be aware support is ending soon.
With MS it's more like "Resistance is futile" than "Change is inevitable".
Does this thing have a capability to display focus point in RAW file same as Digital Photo Professional does for RAW files created from Canon camera ? It is important and comes handy when editing to see what was point of focus.
No. The focus point display is a subset of Canon's proprietary marker notes. They do not allow 3rd party raw convter access to features like this. But keep in mind converting to dng does not delete this info. It just cannot use it.
I doubt it, since this is extremely manufacturer-specific. Not to mention silently wrong if you've focus-recomposed.
EDI: Amadou Diallo bet me to it.
Actually the information for focus points is available. I have PhotoME free application for Windows and it has no problem displaying the focus points in Canon images -- even JPGs.
Also, there are many EXIF and makernotes that have already been decoded and implemented in EXIF Tool however Adobe chooses not to use any of this knowledge.
For example for Sony DSLRs, Adobe does nothing to support new lens identification information in the JPG files.
Aperture interprets Maker Notes and incorporates the data into various features, for example it can display the Canon Focus Points and it can interpret the DR200% & DR400% in Fuji X100 raws and then expose them correctly. Perhaps taking a little longer for more thorough support has its benefits.
Undocumented marker notes are not supported by Adobe. Canon does not provide the info to 3rd party converters. Some converters, as others have mentioned will indeed use this data. Adobe's policy has been to simply pass along markernotes when converting to dng but otherwise ignore it.
Only first link at "We'll take a look at the following features:" works correctly.
EDIT: DStudio already reported this earlier.
A good read that's informative. I'm not sure you could call it a review though. "Walk Through" would be more apt IMO it's a very different entity to the kind of rigorous testing that you see in the camera reviews.
Wasn't really talking about length. More that it's a demonstration rather than a critique of strengths and weaknesses. The tone was these are the improvements from LR3. Which is fine, I enjoyed reading it, but I don't see how you could call it a review is all.
At dpreview we offer camera reviews, phone app reviews, software reviews and book reviews. Each of these have distinct formats, purposes and levels of detail.
I know you do different reviews. I've explained quite clearly why this isn't a review. I enjoyed it though, thank you for writing it.
EDIT: just so you know what I mean a review would have covered things like this question from tesch posted above.
"Was there a huge performance upgrade from the beta? My beta would have long pauses between slider changes which was really annoying. There were many complaints about this from other people and the response was "it's a beta and this will be corrected". So my queation is, was it?"
Stuff like that is needed in a review. i.e. How much power you need to run it effectively? Does is offer enough potential image quality improvement to be worthwhile as an upgrade (if you don't need the bells and whistles)? Where does it stack up against other manufacturers' products? etc.
I found this review useful and highly readable. Thanks, Amadou and DPReview.
One thing wasn't perfectly clear to me. The section on the RGB Point Curves feature shows an example with two points added to each curve (plus the endpoints). Can more than two points be added? And can the endpoints be moved?
Yes to both questions.
I'm tempted then. Always missed a useful Curves tool in Lightroom...
Finally at a European price that makes sense for non pro consumers and does not debilitate the non US people with insane prices, bought it straightaway (127,- euro), now do the same for PS please!
Unable to get access from Australia at this stage. Australian web site passes you to US website which then complains that you should login to the Asutralian store! Sadly this is not the first time I have problems with the Adobe sites. To add insult to injury I anticipate that the upgrade price in Australia will be much higher than the US price.
Frankly, while I have used LR3 as a baseline I am seriously considering washing my hands with Adobe products and looking elsewhere.
Nikon users - It doesn't really matter isn't it??
still as long as Adobe uses its own algorithm rather than the official Nikon one to convert RAW files, photos will always convert much better (in terms of IQ) in NX2 regardless the nice features of Lightroom, I'm using D7000 and the difference is so huge that it's really a no briner but to use NX2 as much as I hate the workflow and the poor photo management capabilities.
I suggest to all Nikon users to just try and open a RAW image in NX2 and in Lightroom - you'll see what I mean, not mentioning the results of pushing the histogram...
sad - but true...
I respectfully disagree.
Apple Aperture renders Nikon files very nicely and quickly. If you look at the Automator API for Aperture, you will also see that it has some Nikon specific functions, which tells me that they went out of their way to accommodate Nikon RAW files. If you're on a Mac, give it a try. I think you will like how your photos look.
@ir Bob, Take a look at the "Aperture 3 AppleScript Reference". Search the web for this title, and it's the first thing that comes up.
And have they addressed any of its major UI failings present since its first incarnation? No. The incredibly wasteful use of screen space, the ludicrously unhelpful access to controls etc. Typical Adobe release, add things but don't fix. Such a shame. The software boys certainly know what they're doing but the designers screw it up.
So true. I dislike file access, too.
Some functions are really good, but the GUI ruins everything.
What do you like so much about it? I find Lightroom cluttered with too many shades of gray and black, and too many boxes and lines and strange GUI elements. Plus the way that file management and image adjustments are split into different modes gets in my way (I often find that I want to add a keyword when I'm in Develop).
Local adjustments are now ok - like that.
Detected new marvelous feature, when I want to copy a book it takes (50 pages) 5 minutes to shoot RAW-s from it, then little tone curve adjustment and export pdf directly from book module and then straight away to iPad. This workflow is fast to save some old paper books and saves time and is green.
I have consistently used beta versions of Lightroom, but until now, would not buy due to its failure to make the interface easily useable. I found Aperture could reduce shadow noise as it allowed the user to lower the black point to -5 which opens up the shadows and reduces noise in a direct way- a way that Lightroom did not.
The new controls at last allow you to do this, and you will find that additionally the dynamic range of a flat image (aren't they all?!) can significantly improved as the article describes.
The one lack is SOME necessary lens correction modules for the many OLDER lenses we all have and use, but which Canon, for example, have removed corrections for from DPP.
There are a lot of these lenses-24-85 f3.5-4.5mm USM Canon for example (use 24-120 f4 Nikkor profile), and excellent 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 old AF EOS lens. I'm sure others can name lots more.
But Aperture hasn't ANY, and its colour profiles give innacurate results in Windows.
I shall buy L4 for sure
What do you mean by "its colour profiles give innacurate results in Windows"?
I think he is referring to pro photo. The pro photo colorspace is not rendered properly in windows. I have also had problems printing with windows drivers and pro photo. It just doesn't like it. I always switch to sRGB which has unfortunately less gamut.
You can use Lightroom's curves tool to override the black point limitation. Just grab the lower left point of the curve and drag it straight up.
Not compatible with Lightroom 3 ? So I can't load my existing catalogues and even if I re-import the photos to a new catalogue they will appear different and require reprocessing. I think forward compatibility is an essential feature. They should have kept all the old processing routines so that the program could detect old files and show the images correctly.
Thanks, thats good to a point but if I used controls that are no longer available then I assume my photos look different in version 4 to they did when I processed them in V3. I don't want to have to check every image when I want to re-export at a differeent resolution and have a customer complain it doesn't match the sample. So I would have to keep separate V3 and V4 catalogs and lose the ability to search across them or reprocess every image, update samples, website etc. Much more likely to stay with V3.
Dave, to get the results you want, all you have to do is refrain from updating your photos to PV2012. LR 4 will then behave exactly as LR 3 in the Develop module. And if you update a photo by accident you can always undo.
Thank you all for the information, thats great news - I will upgrade.
downloaded and purchased the upgrade tonight - never had an issue with the beta... - and what...? potential of maybe one or 2 more goodies in a 4.1 release? oh boy!
Does it also do distortion correction natively, or do you still have to resort to plugins like PTlens etc?
Even if a specific lens doesn't have a profile in Lightroom, it's easy to create your own. Profiles are only good to a point anyway, since not every copy of every lens needs to be corrected in exactly the same way.
Its good adobe dropped the prices for this; its nothing more than ACR repackaged...
For years I was an exclusive ACR user (having Photoshop already) and shared your sentiment. But I was convinced to give it another try this year and realized the program has many significant advantages over plain ACR. I will not go back.
I decided to bite the bullet and learn LR, especially since the Beta was a free download. With the help of some internet tutorials I found it quite quick to master and very intuitive. I have processed well over 2000 photo's with it and to say I'm impressed is an understatement. The ease in which I'm able to get fantastic results from RAW files is brilliant, and I know the newspaper I shoot for appreciates the huge step up in the image quality of the sport photo's I now submit to them! The seamless integration with Facebook and flickr is very welcome as well. The soft proofing feature is worth the price of admission alone and the prints I get from it are far superior to anything I've used before.I'm definitely buying this!!!
I love the software reviews. Please keep those coming. They're every bit as useful as camera reviews.
I will have to update my computer for it, but it looks like some aspects may be worth it.
However, I am still perfectly happy with LR3.6 so I am in no hurry.
I started using LR 4 as soon as has been published.
Now I am delighted with Selective White Balance.
I have not seen the need to apply this tool until I tried it in this picture.
Developed with Day Light, Direct Positive and General Auto
Developed with Direct Positive, General Auto and Selective WB.
That is a good example of the selective white balance capability. Thanks.
Thank you !
Very well presented article. Appreciate the time and effort you put into this. I was mulling the decision to upgrade/or not..Your article has made that decision so much easier..I will!
Thank you.
I have a calibrated IPS LCD and my printer is calibrated for my Photo Paper
When I print the print is always a touch darker than the screen image.
When I use the soft proofing and select simlutate ink/paper the VC copy image appears a bit washed out. Is this normal ?? in LR4
The first part of your question. It will always look darker than a glowing screen. However, you can predict the final result better if you use a darker profiling target for the monitor. Also make sure you have sufficient amount of light of the correct kind when viewing the prints.
And yes, it is normal that the prints have less contrast than a computer monitor.
Great review, looks useful. Does anyone know if Lightroom offers relative adjustments for a series of images? Ie Can i ask it to increase all images by 1 stop regardless of starting exposure value? cheers
Thank you for a precise ,concise presentation of Lightroom Beta.It is most helpful as I try to sort out if it pays to use it as a "Stand Alone" program for developing files rather than as a catalogue -storage medium.I use Aperture 3 for storage but have lately been reviewing some of my latest editions a more and more feel that the skin tones are too "Plasticy".Any thoughts.Best Alan New Mexico USA where dry heat is given new meanings.
"Plasticy"? Perhaps you're applying overly-strong noise reduction? Sounds like an issue with your chosen adjustments. I'm an event & portrait pro who's used Aperture since 1.0 with various Canon cameras. No plastic.
An excellent view of what LR4 has to offer. I've been using it for a few days now and have had very good results so far. After reading this, I have even a better understanding of some of the new controls and look forward to taking things a step further.
Thanks for the information and insight.
Thanks for a well written preview. I have just one question and I may have missed it but is an image merge (panorama) process available in LR4?
No. Like other types of composite imaging, that's still a Photoshop task.
Is it possible to "preview" images
for color print accuracy in the book module?
I've probably missed this on your great review, but in the Slideshow module, is it now possible to EASILY add more than one piece of music to a show? In L3 you could only have one track to go with your photos. Has this changed?
Being able to adjust the video files so easily is a huge boon. Nowadays, I might want to capture the scene with a piece of 1080p video, which might suffer as much as my photos from poor levels or too cool a white balance. Now without too much effort they can be fixed.
Hopefully at some point, even if it is slow, we have the option of deploying the whole collection of develop tools to video, including noise reduction and camera profiles.
In the exposure adjustment image showing three variation's of a woman's portrait, it looks like there is a floating palette in the bottom right corner.
What is this? How does one enable floating palettes over a full screen image in Lightroom?
Tabaplar, it's simply a composite screenshot to show you the settings I used.
I would like to see a facility to filter showing only files which have had ammendments made in the develop module
Haven't tried Beta 4, but a smart collection in LR3 did this. The filter was created in the Library module, and afterwards was available in Develop.
Overall a decent upgrade even if I'm not very interested fotobooking. My main criticism concerns the elimination of the fill light.
In such a powerful tool I miss simple effects which cameras have built in. Like e. g. the Nex-5N's Partial Color effect where you can turn a picture to grayscale while keeping one color (e. g. red).
The LR3 Brightness was very useful for me. I have used Brightness/Exposure to keep highlights and brighten the mid-tones. Transferring the images processes as 2010 to 2012 may dramatically change my images end results. How I can brighten mid-tones without Brightness adjustment? :-(
Also, I do agree with zeroing the defaults values. I always set Brightness, Contrast and Black lever to zeros at the very beginning. The set Brightness=50%, Contrast=25% and Black lever 5% is equivalent to +1EV. The opened image would be always shown overexposed when opened with 50-25-5.
The added soft-proofing with Before and After is great!
Looking forward to upgrade!
PS Thank you for the update!!! - very helpful!
Increasing exposure and decreasing highlights has a similar effect, you could try that.
Now this is a quality article! Thanks, very helpful. Dpreview at its best.
One question, have the noise suppression tools been developed further? I would love a better pattern noise suppression tool. Raw Shooter Essentials used to have it, Adobe bought them, where is the slider these days?
It makes no sense to merge the Exposure and Brightness controls. Leave Exposure as it was and add a Midtones control to replace Brightness.
I thought the quality of this article was fantastic, thank you very much. I have been using the trial version of LR 3.5 waiting for 4 to come out before buying, and it is very helpful to see all these updates so clearly examined. Well done!
Back when LR3 was released I put in a feature request for a book module and there was a lot of support for my request from adobe forum members so I am happy that it made it. Also great idea to integrate with Blub but I hope there is a way for 3rd party developers to integrate with MPIX or others as well.
There were many who also asked/requested for a Calendar module as well. I am happy to see the book module (a much needed feature) but disappointed we will not also get a Calendar module. I believe for many a book and Calendar module would have been huge features. Hopefully someone will create a plug-in
Everythinh Ok, except I do not see a control to move ALL exposure up or down, just like we use aperure , speed or ISO. This is essential for me. The first rough adjustment I currently use.
OMG...there IS someone who actually uses Aperture :)
Yes, there are still Aperture users out here in the real world. Which is better Aperture 3 or Lightroom 3? Answer -- assuming you have a MAC -- has a lot to do with the way you approach your "work flow" (hate that term, never heard it used in a darkroom) which can be highly personal and as well as the type of photography you are doing. I have both products (lightroom came free with my Leica) and see pluses and minuses in both. However, at $80 Aperture is by far the better bang for the buck. If you use a PC, well good luck with Lightroom because that is all you have.
Does anyone know when it is going to be released? Is it safe to install this beta beside the full version in MAC?

Muriatic Acid as a drain cleaner
I have a clog in my main drain leading to the sewer does anyone recommend using Muriatic Acid [linked by editor to product info at Amazon] pouring it down the drain to take care of my clog?Lenny Paschke
hobbyist - Red Wing, Minnesota, USA
Muriatic acid is actually a gas dissolved in water, so it fumes terribly and can eat up your chrome and stainless appliances and their electronics. Please don't use it in a house.
If you want to use acid, you can use a sulfuric acid drain cleaner, which doesn't fume in that matter. But besides being a dangerous material, it is not a good solvent for many clogs anyway. But it can dissolve the steel pipe if it gets stuck behind the clog. When you call the plumber, tell him so he can wear goggles and vinyl gloves :-)
Alkaline drain cleaners can also be dangerous, but at least they're more effective than acid in most cases, as well as not attacking steel pipes. Good luck.
Ted Mooney, P.E. RET
Pine Beach, New Jersey
Yeah, forget the acid, try dissolving some Caustic Soda, SLOWLY add it to cold water, ratio 500 gr to 1.5 liters of water, wear goggles and gloves, if the drain pipe is brass you may get some problems with dezincification if they are zinc plated steel, say good bye to the zinc. If they are plastic you should be O.K. the caustic solution will turn the oil/fat/hair into a water soluble slurry, leave the solution for a good half an hour or so then send a chaser of hot water down after it with a little pressure from a plunger...Robert Fyfe
Audio Eng - Wyoming, NSW, Australia
Ed. note: Thanks, Robert. Here is the U.S. we consumers don't buy generally caustic soda by that name; rather, we buy brand name products containing it like Drano [linked by editor to product info at Amazon] or Liquid Plumr [linked by editor to product info at Amazon]. That way you get caution statements with the product that are appropriate for the specific use you are putting it to.

Bag-E-Bottoms: Perfect Bag Support
Tired of the bag sag? Bag-E-Bottoms are like under-wires for your bag! Whether you are working with fabric, yarn or another soft medium, these Bottoms are perfect to give your bag a little hidden support.
Bag-E-Bottom acrylic bases are available in six sizes to give soft crafted bag, purse and tote creations a sturdy bottom. The Bottoms are 1/8″ thick clear acrylic, with rounded corners and are available in a variety of sizes to fit common bag proportions. Choose a size slightly smaller than the inside bottom of a bag, toss it in and fill your purse.
Our newest addition is the Bag-E-Bottoms Size F.
New Bag-E-Bottoms Size F.
The Bag-E-Bottoms are always optional with our Lazy Girl Designs patterns. They offer support from the bottom up, giving your bag great stand-up-i-tude and posture.
Compare Sizes
So, here they are, all stacked so you can see who is who in the Bottom game. The image is not full size. The bottoms are clear acrylic. I used color in the image below to show the different sizes.
Size F fills the huge gap between our two smallest sizes, B and A. We have six sizes that work with many of our designs.
All six sizes of Bag-E-Bottoms.
Who Works With Whom?
Here's an overview of the different sizes, their dimensions, and which of our Lazy Girl Designs patterns that they work with. Suggested retail is $8-10. See our website for pricing and ordering info.
Size A – Candice, Gracie Handbag, Whimsy Bag
#LGD500, 4″ x 11″
Size B – Towne Purse, Veronica Pocketbook
#LGD501, 3 3/8″ x 8 1/2″
Size C – City Bag
#LGD502, 3 1/2″ x 12″
Size D – Miranda Day Bag, Newport Tote, Summer Tote

Size E – Chelsea Tote
#LGD504, 7″ x 7″
Size F – Margo Handbag, Claire Handbag, Mini Miranda Bag
#LGD505, 3 5/8" x 9 7/8"
How To Choose
Measure the bottom of your bag creation: length and width. The inside of your bag will be slightly smaller than the outside bottom measurements. Choose the largest size that is smaller than both measurements of your bag bottom.
How To Use
It is recommended to create a fabric sleeve, much like a small pillowcase, and insert the Bottom. Each Bottom includes directions for making a sleeve. If you like, tack the sleeve to the inside bottom of your favorite bag. And better yet, these Bag-E-Bottoms may fit bags by other designers too! Many knitters place our bottoms in their knit creations during felting so the bag can shape to the Bottom.

Great tutorial on the Bag-E-Bottom, I might have to print that out to have on hand. I can't wait to see the new Mini, I bet she is a cutie and perfect for Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing all your creative ideas, we love them sew much!
Penny D in Chesapeake
Oh those will make the bags looks so much well done. It will give it support and stability.
What a great product! This will make our bags look so much more polished and hand-crafted rather than homemade. Can't wait to check my patterns, see what sizes I've got to have and get some "in the house"!
Wow! Fantastic I can't wait until my bags no longer have a baggie bottom! I'll have to blog on it over at basicallyquilting.blogspot.com
The first bag I learned to make in a class I did not not know what a bag-e-bottom was. I was told to have cut a size . I took the measurents home and gave them to my husband and he cut me one. Took it back to class and put it in. I was asked where I bought it at. I said Home Depot and my husband made for me. He now makes all mine for whatever bag I make. I have bought some bag-e-bottoms. But my husband does a good job for me.
What a wonderful idea! Is there something available that you could cut down to use for other designs? That would be nice. I love putting something in the bottom of bags. I have tried plastic canvas, that didn't work very well. In my really big totes, I have had my husband cut out think plywood and round the corners, but that really wouldn't work for purses.
I have purchesd the whimsy Bag pattern and I am having a problem with the finishing/ that is Sewing the side seems after turinng the bag inside out–can you help me with this?
Thats great ! who likes bags that are baggy at the bottom;) The instructions are very easy to follow thank you for sharing that one.
What about bags that are oval shaped, is the rectangle shape ok?
My daughter made a large tote for me and it would need a 5X 17 bottom. Do you know of anyone who would made that?
I am interested in your handbag bottoms. Can you send me procing and information on how to purchase some of these?
thank you
We are bringing in tote bags to our line and are interested in more information on where to purchase these bag bottoms on a wholesale level. I look forward to some information and pricing. Thank you so much!

Canadian Brass - Christmas Time Is Here - Steinway and Sons 30027
"I'm probably the luckiest guy in the tuba world, maybe the brass world, maybe even the music world, to have this opportunity to go out on stage every night with fine players and really just have fun making music."
So says Chuck Daellenbach, tuba player extraordinaire, and founding member of the Canadian Brass. In 1970, when he formed this quintet, the challenge was to feature arrangements and music repertoire that people would love as much as the musicians did. More than 40 years later, that tradition continues, this time on a new holiday recording titled Christmas Time is Here, which pays tribute to some of the most popular animated specials created for the holidays.
Trumpeter Caleb Hudson, the newest member of the Canadian Brass, says many of the new arrangements on this recording were created especially for the ensemble by former Canadian Brass trumpeter Brandon Ridenour. "We feel like this Christmas album has a very warm quality to it, which can be added to any family Christmas CD rotation. We've showcased a few of Vince Guaraldi's works from A Charlie Brown Christmas on this CD arranged by Brandon. I think these arrangements bring a whole new perspective to Guaraldi's Charlie Brown tunes."
Caleb joined the Canadian Brass eight months ago after graduating from the Juilliard School of Music. His world-class talent really soars on "The Angel Choir and the Trumpeter." "This piece is a feature for the piccolo trumpet, which is a tiny trumpet half the size of a normal B-flat trumpet," Caleb explains, "and it just gives a very transparent, bright, sparkling color to the sound. It starts with a solo cadenza and then it goes into this very beautiful chorale-like piece with trumpet obbligato on top. We feel like the piccolo trumpet brings a special shimmer to the Christmas spirit. So it's a privilege to be on that track."
Chuck Daellenbach says Caleb's trumpet also adds something very special to another familiar carol, "What Child Is This." "It's a beautiful opportunity to hear a very standard Christmas piece but done in such a captivating style technically, it should be exceedingly challenging, yet it's just smooth as butter. It's so pretty. That's a track that has really stood out not only for me, but as I've talked to other people who listen to the CD it's really stood out. And it's a capsule picture of why we couldn't resist begging Caleb to join our group."
The Canadian Brass is always looking for interesting ways to present music that will be fun to listen to, yet will also give people a deeper level of understanding of the music; Chuck Daellenbach says there are numerous examples on this new holiday recording. "We've got a work called 'Bach's Bells'," he explains, "which is a combination of a cantata work that's usually heard on solo violin, put together with 'Carol of the Bells.' So the music itself is quite fun. And again, it's a piece that, without any prior knowledge of the music itself, holds together as a really lovely piece of music. And if you happen to be familiar with the violin part, it gets even more interesting."
Each member of the Canadian Brass has a hidden talent. When you listen to "I Saw Three Ships," you'll hear trumpeter Chris Coletti whistle his way through one verse. Chuck Daellenbach says Chris actually has other hidden talents that find their way into "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." "I think our hidden talents, we bring right out on the stage. Chris can sing like an opera singer in the soprano range, which is quite interesting. And on the Christmas recording you'll hear Chris singing at his highest and lowest, as a matter of fact."
Caleb says Chuck has a hidden talent as well, and it's become a tradition during "Frosty the Snowman." "Well, Frosty is a feature for Chuck. And if you've ever seen us perform this live you'll see that because of the jazz nature of the arrangement, things get pretty hot on the stage and you know what happens to Frosty when he gets hot. And Chuck embodies that as he melts on stage and kind of crumples behind his tuba while still playing and at the end, he's just a pile of melted frosty."
For some hot, new arrangements of Christmas classics, check out Christmas Time is Here with the Canadian Brass.

At Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday Tony Stewart commented that with just three points separating him from Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship leader Carl Edwards, and with the pair battling each other the past couple of races, that NASCAR boss Brian France must be absolutely giddy.
After all it is really the only show left in the motor sports world with the Formula One crown already decided.
Still at every race you can see F1s Bernie Ecclestone strutting around his fiefdom like the tiny perfect czar that he thinks he is.
But where is NASCARs France. Shouldnt he have been at Texas, where he could have been the one handling the Kyle Busch debacle and then, in turn, celebrating the great Chase race.
Lets hope that the tall foreheads down at NASCAR headquarters in Daytona Beach dispatch France to Phoenix this week to show that he, too, is more than just a suit with a big office, but a real fan of NASCAR.
He created the Chase format, after all, and it behooves him to be there in its finest moment.
When Michael Schumacher drove to the top step of the Formula One podium 13 times back in 2004, there were many who thought it would be a long time before another driver would equal the mark.
But with two races left on the 2011 Grand Prix calendar, Sebastian Vettel is within reach of sharing that remarkable record with his fellow German.
Vettel has 11 wins so far in this, his second consecutive championship season, and was a two-time winner at Abu Dhabi where the penultimate race of 2011 goes on Sunday.
Also in sight for Vettel, if he wins the pole on the final two weekends, is Nigel Mansells 1992 record of 14 pole positions.
And he loves the Abu Dhabi Yas circuit.
The track in Abu Dhabi is special this will be our third Grand Prix there, Vettel said in a team release.
The race starts at dusk and finishes at night, which means we have to drive with special helmet visors because of the different light conditions. The other factor is that we drive anti-clockwise.
The tracks a bit like Singapore from the speed, but the asphalt is smoother. There are two special features one is the passage under the Yas Hotel. Where else can you actually drive under your room?
The second is the pit-lane exit, which is also special. Its partly underground and it feels like youre coming out of an underground parking garage when you drive through it.
McDRIVER BRINGS HOME A CLEAN CAR
They call Michael McDowell McDriver because he is so often called to fill in for any other driver who is sick, hurt or in Kyle Buschs case on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway, suspended.
Nobody was expecting the 26-year-old McDowell to win, and he didnt, but he did bring the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota home in one piece, something that is valued in the Sprint Cup garage.
Theyre happy about that, McDowell said of the feat. But Im a race car driver. I want to win races and I had a car that typically wins races. I wish we had got a couple of more cautions to work on it, but, all in all, it just is what it is.
