FLOWERY BRANCH – Understandably, running back Jason Snelling has moved up to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart released for the New Orleans Saints game.
With Jerious Norwood out for the season, Gartrell Johnson was added to the roster and slotted as the No. 4 tailback. Antone Smith is the No. 3.
There is nobody listed behind Ovie Mughelli at fullback, but Snelling would take over the backup fullback role if necessary.
According to the depth chart, Eric Weems, who made his first career start last week at wide receiver, will take over the kickoff return duties for Norwood.

Norwood out with another injury???? Surprise, Surprise. Snelling is a much better back anyways. Cut Norwood after the season. He's been injured more than he's been active.
September 22nd, 2010
7:15 am
Jerious "China Doll" Norwood….Not suprised at all! He has 95 percent chance of getting hurt anytime he touches the ball. Blame it on those skinny bird legs of his..SMH
September 22nd, 2010
7:24 am
Time to get younger with our RB. Norwood needs to go, he's hurt every year & with Turner starting to show his age a little we have to look for fresh backs. Snelling deserves the chance, hes a hard worker and doesn't seem fragile yet
September 22nd, 2010
7:38 am
Is Norwood related to Chris Chandler?
September 22nd, 2010
7:54 am
Has anyone seen Gartrell Johnson's website? http://www.gartrelljohnson33.com He sells t-shirts with his name on them for $30. I'm buying 10 of them right now!
September 22nd, 2010
7:56 am
Where is Roddy White on the depth chart?
September 22nd, 2010
7:57 am
Nevermind, found him…
September 22nd, 2010
7:57 am
White is #1 and Finneran is listed as his back up.
September 22nd, 2010
7:57 am
This latest injury maybe the end of Norwood's career as a Falcon.
September 22nd, 2010
7:59 am
I have always liked Norwood but I really think this is what's gonna get him cut. If that knee doesnt give him the same speed, he's gone. I appreciated the early years he gave us…now just go on IR, collect your $, and move on…
September 22nd, 2010
8:06 am
Will Jenkins play?
September 22nd, 2010
8:09 am
It looks like RB has become a priority in next year's draft.
How would y'all rank these 5 needs — OT, RB, WR, TE, DE …?
September 22nd, 2010
8:19 am
September 22nd, 2010
8:19 am
I believe and hope that Norwood has played his last down as a Falcon.
September 22nd, 2010
8:21 am
I want to see how the kid Palmer matures before I move the importance of TE up. I think he is a real sleeper.
September 22nd, 2010
8:22 am
As someone who scooped him up in fantasy, I would love to know Jenks status as well. Is there any indication they would look at a Klecko or Haynes type again?
September 22nd, 2010
8:23 am
I have always been a Norwood fan but he is hurt way too much for this league.
September 22nd, 2010
8:23 am
Honestly I think this varies based on Turner and think we might get a Tackle in FA so it is not as high. Snelling & Norwood are both FAs after this year.
September 22nd, 2010
8:24 am
RB should be top priority in next years draft unless the Falcons can get Green.
September 22nd, 2010
8:27 am
Antone Smith, undrafted, was cut last year by the Lions, Vikings, and Texans. Gartrell Johnson scored an 11 on the Wonderlic, 1 more than did Marcus Vick. But if he is actually selling those shirts on his website maybe he is smarter than we think. Hmmmm, wonder if he asked the Falcons for #33…………….!!!
September 22nd, 2010
8:28 am
I hate the knee injury for Norwood, but he has underachieved, mostly due to nagging injuries, his entire career. Always seems to run like the wind in preseason, then is mostly hobbled in the regular season.
In fact, I can think of another guy on a similar tract – Caleb King.
September 22nd, 2010
8:29 am
QB, OT, TE, RB, WR. I'm sorry, QB was not part of the original list. However, is not to early to think about the future.
September 22nd, 2010
8:36 am
Norwood should not have running back kickoffs if they wanted him to last well into this season. I knew that even before he went down. Oh well, lets move on. Best to Norwood in his recovery but I doubt he plays again.
September 22nd, 2010
8:39 am
Did anyone else notice that when norwood went down it didn't look like he was even touched? he looked to me like he cut back as was about to be gone and high stepping and then bang he folded. I hate it for him and hope he recovers and gets to play somewhere.
I am in a very lonely group that thinks Jenks will help the offense a lot get well quick Jenkins.
September 22nd, 2010
8:41 am
Will Snelling be putting up close to the same numbers as he did in week 2? Or is Turner going to be taking to much playing time for Snelling to put up some good numbers?
September 22nd, 2010
8:41 am
Turner and Snelling will both chew up some turf against the Saints Sunday. This will be one helluva game…………!!!
September 22nd, 2010
8:46 am
All I know is that Moore needs to start every week from here on out if he stays healthy. It's nice to finally see a Falcons safety that is physical. I've said for 2 years that their safeties were too soft and too slow. Coleman is way too slow, he looks like he's dragging a sofa behind him. Please keep Moore in the starting lineup!
September 22nd, 2010
8:49 am
Any word on when Brian Williams will be ready to return to action?
September 22nd, 2010
8:50 am
I hope William Moore starts again this week. We need that playmaking ability at safety if we want to stop NO's offense. Coleman is strong against the run, but doesn't stand out in coverage. 안녕!
September 22nd, 2010
8:58 am
Yep, Norwood just cut and then he went down. Knee must have blown up when he cut. To bad, the guy is electric when he is well.
September 22nd, 2010
9:12 am
Exactly how I blewup my knee, just cutting, nobody touched me
September 22nd, 2010
9:15 am
Williams played last Sunday…and I think Moore makes all the difference in the world. teaming with DeCoud, they form the youngest, fastest, hardest hitting, tandom of safties in the NFL
September 22nd, 2010
9:27 am
I too would like to see Jenkins back in the mix. He had 66 yards on 4 passes and 82 yards on 3 passes respectively in the games against New Orleans last year. This year we've thrown to Roddy White 20 times in 2 games, the next highest receptions goes to Jason Snelling with 6 catches. But Harry Douglas leads the team in yards per catch averaging 14 yards per catch.
We've lost the last 3 games to NO but under head coach Mike Smith we have never lost to a NFC South rival four games in a row.
The oddsmakers have made the Saints a 4 point favorite, that's basically home field advantage…….!!
Falcons win 24-21 "Rise Up"
September 22nd, 2010
9:33 am
Hate for this to happen, but can't say I am surprised. I also thought he might get cut. Get well JN. Sorry the let Bear go….I think he is a sleeper…Clay Mathews type. Next year we draft prime RB.
September 22nd, 2010
9:35 am
We need more Falcons LOSSES!!
September 22nd, 2010
9:36 am
If he's our #2 RB, AND #2 FB that increases his value (and workload) even more. I haven't seen anything out of Smith that makes me think he'll be eating into Snelling and Turner's number of snaps anytime soon. All that to say I'm concerned about excessive wear and tear on our backs. Anything extra on the 2 newbies would be greatly appreciated–googling these guys doesn't tell you much….
September 22nd, 2010
9:40 am
love it…
please check the yellow pages under physicians/psychologists– perhaps they could help you with your obvious issues (as demonstrated by your posting about a team you hate). Good luck in therapy!
September 22nd, 2010
9:46 am
Sorry for changing the subject but is it me or is Farve really showing his age
September 22nd, 2010
10:03 am
Would it be fair to say Farve (or any older athlete for that matter) looks older when performing poorly and younger when performing well…like last year?
September 22nd, 2010
10:05 am
What would we have done if Ovie or Jason had gotten hurt? Do we have a backup FB other than Snelling? I like TD & MS but I don't think Norwood should have made this team. Certainly not as #2 over Snelling who played so well filling in last year. Didn't realizing his receiving skills were as good as they were until the Arizona game. He looked good. Hope Turner will be at 100% Sunday.
As far as drafting goes, I think OT first in 2011 and RB second. TE should be a first rounder for this team with some basketball background but we'll have to wait until 2012. Hope TG can make it that long. TB, NO or Carolina got a good one in the draft. Don't remember which team it was but he will be good.
Go Falcons!! Beat the Saints, their luck has to end some time. They got almost every break Mon. night.
September 22nd, 2010
10:18 am
I must have really had too many cold ones if I missed Williams being back. I don't recall seeing him, but I am sure glad he is back.
September 22nd, 2010
10:52 am
Hey…Does anyone knows wassup w/ Michael Jenkins? I haven't heard any info. on him lately.
September 22nd, 2010
10:55 am
I like Norwood enough (even if he could only be healthy) but really Snelling should have been #2 to begin with. The Saints game should be an intriguing one.
September 22nd, 2010
11:02 am
What is the update on the injury to Chris Owens?
September 22nd, 2010
11:16 am
The comments made by a lot of you keyboard kommandos never cease to amaze me. It is a sad fact that Norwood has been oft' injured, but I'd bet a month's pay that most of you who denigrate him so viciously couldn't run SEVEN yards if your life depended on it, much less 75 with a ton of beef on your heels.
Get well soon, Jerious. As I said in another post, even if he never plays antoher down as a Falcon, he's my hero for single-handedly beating the Florida swamp critters while at MSU.
September 22nd, 2010
12:15 pm
Wow all last week a good number of you had your nuts in an uproar and had hit the panic button. (you know who your are) Now all you can do is talk as if everything is dandy. To all true falcon fans this is a marathon and there are going to be ups and down. The object is to have way more ups than downs. Put the panic mode button in reverse and support management and the team.
September 22nd, 2010
12:32 pm
Wasn't Norwood in a contract year? Doesn't that mean after the season, he is a free agent (not to be signed by us, LOL). Good talent….couldn't stay healthy. Wished we got the kid the Chiefs drafted. As far as back-up FB…can we resign Klecko if need be?

mzer, nice guy I really want to see how the different cuts come out. Lets see a shot of the belly, back, loin and ham? What is your method for determining when its done?
I only took the one picture. Basically, you determine doneness by feeling the movement in the joints. Then I take it out, let it rest until just above room temp, cut out the backbone, split the head and cut the body, shoulders, legs into serving pieces, place on a drip pan, then make a hotter fire from vine cuttings and stick the pan back in to puff and crisp the skin. The cuts you mention don't really exist on an 8 pound pig. I mean, I suppose they do, but you don't separate them as such.
We do them on a fairly regular basis. I'll spit roast them or cook it on a rack.
That pit was the best 80 bucks I ever spent.
50 to 75 pounders.
pretty cool set up salty.
I Hope that's not galvanized chicken wire. You could end up getting a toxic dose of zinc and other heavy metals. Even the fumes from heating galvanized steel over a flame are dangerous, and can cause the "zinc shakes".

You can run your League with a streamlined management structure. You do not need to hold to the traditional model of a League board. The streamlined Leadership Team structure makes it possible for as few as four League leaders to simply manage the work of the League. The basic Leadership Team positions include:
Of course, it is permissible and even desirable to welcome additional participants on your Leadership Team – it's a great way of growing future leaders and building the capacity of your League. As you build momentum, you might add a fundraising specialist or a program coordinator or others. (See Leadership Team Building and Succession Planning, below.) But you can get started with as few as four.
Leadership Team Meetings. The Leadership Team will want to meet at least quarterly. These team meetings are the time to discuss and coordinate the events and activities that you have planned in your calendar. Each team member reports on their area of responsibility (see Job Descriptions) and any other responsibility they have agreed to take on. Some basic tips for running effective team meetings are included in "Leadership Team Meeting Basics" Appendix N.
Traditional Leagues usually an Annual Meeting of members in the spring. Streamlined Leagues can hold an annual business meeting whenever it is best. This meeting is to allow the membership to approve a new Leadership Team, budget and any program recommendations. It can be a short concise meeting or you can use it as a membership meeting and provide a speaker or other item of interest to draw them to attend.
Members are welcome at their Leadership Team meetings. Make sure members know when and where the meetings are held, and give members an opportunity to participate at the meetings, if they desire. The state League should have a liaison or coach that stays connected with and supports streamlined Leagues.
It's good to have an agenda for Leadership Team meetings. An agenda allots time logically and helps Leadership Team members prepare for team meetings. It is sent out prior to the meeting, along with previous meeting minutes, a financial report, any other material that members are expected to review and discuss at the meeting. Typically, the Convener creates the agenda, but some teams take turns sharing responsibilities of writing the agenda and conducting the meeting. A "Sample Streamlined Agenda" is included as Appendix O.
It's also important to keep basic minutes of the Leadership Team meetings. Leagues need an official record of League business. The minutes are the record of League decision-making, and minutes let absent members know what happened at the meeting. Good minutes are short and contain:
See Appendix O for a "Sample Streamlined Minutes".
Leadership Team Building. When a new leadership team is getting started or when new members join the team, it's a good idea to spend a little time on team building. Again, here's a place where the state League may be helpful. A good team building orientation informs Leadership Team members about the League, acquaints them with one another, and builds a sense of total team responsibility. New members gain confidence in carrying out their responsibilities and learn how the League and the team work. The exchange of ideas and experiences with League peers can build comradery and confidence among team members. Local Leagues may conduct their own orientation sessions, call on seasoned local League leaders, request state League assistance, or in some states, participate in statewide sessions planned on a regular schedule.
This is the time to review job responsibilities, budgets, operating rules, membership status, etc., and to revisit the basic principles of the League and nonpartisanship. It is a good time to check that outgoing team members have passed on files and materials needed for continuity of responsibilities. Appendix P has a "Leadership Team Orientation" outline.
Budget. A budget is a planning instrument that reflects the goals, priorities and activities planned for the year. In the Streamlined League, the Leadership Team develops the budget and provides an opportunity for membership input. Appendix Q has a "Sample League Budget " for you to use. A well-conceived, realistic budget accomplishes the following:
The Budget is approved by the membership at the Annual business meeting.
Each new Leadership Team must adopt a Nonpartisan Policy. Since the Leadership Team is a small group of League leaders and they are working together on all aspects of the League, the Nonpartisan Policy should cover all members of the Leadership Team. A "Sample Streamlined League Nonpartisan Policy" is included as Appendix R.
The policy should include specific guidelines to govern the political activities of Leadership Team members:
Your Leadership Team can adopt other polices as needed before a problem arises. Some of these policies are "Conflict of Interest", "Candidate Debates", "Making Decisions between Board meetings", and "Coalitions". There are sample policies available on the LWVUS website, www.lwv.org.
Streamlined local Leagues function like other Leagues under a standard set of operating rules or bylaws that tell the League's Leadership Team what is expected, required, and allowed. There is a "Sample Bylaws for a Streamlined League" in Appendix S.
It is not necessary to change your League's Bylaws immediately if you are trying the Streamlined League model. Your League can conduct a trial period operating with the streamlined format and change the Bylaws when ready at your Annual business meeting.
It is also an option for your League to return to operating with a more traditional model of a board and bylaws if so desired.
The Leadership Team is the organization's administrative and policy-making team and plays an essential and primary role for a successful League. The Leadership Team is collectively responsible for all team decisions, plans, and activities for development, membership, voter services, visibility, financial welfare, and program.
In addition to all this, the process for recruiting and training new members to do this important teamwork also falls to the Leadership Team. (A more traditional League would have a Nominating Committee, but in the streamlined League, the Leadership Team is self-sustaining.) One of the Leadership Team's primary roles is to have a deliberate, structured, and proactive plan in place for developing a constant pool of qualified, trained and willing volunteers. See Appendix T, "Leadership Development".

Had been looking for another ring to stack with my band and heavier ring. This ring is nice because it could be worn alone or with others. Def was a good price for what it is. thanks
The ring looks enlarged in the photo. Despite showing a measurement, the stones are much smaller, I was a bit shocked when I opened the box. However, when I put it on with my engagement ring I fell in love. My original diamond wedding band became damaged, even after being repaired at my jeweler, it's unsightly. This definitely fit the bill, the sapphires are sparkly, catching the light..very pretty.

Home > ECF > Vol. 9 > Iss. 3 (1997)
While colonial and postcolonial issues have generated much recent literary scholarship on the nineteenth and twentieth-century novel, the relationship between empire and the earlier development of the English novel has not received the attention it deserves. This is particularly surprising when we consider the enormous expansion of British power during the eighteenth century and the period's wealth of novels commenting or focusing on alien lands. Nevertheless, recent studies of the generic predecessors of the English novel, even as they revise, extend, and complicate Ian Watt's seminal formulation of the novel's origins, still tend to downplay empire in their emphasis on English domesticity, English class formation, empirical epistemology, and an implicitly English psychological interiority. Although students of eighteenth-century literature have begun to explore issues of empire in increasing depth, they have generally explored the relationship between the novel and British colonial expansion by reading individual texts, especially Omonoko and Robinson Crusoe. The candidacy of these texts for the position of "first novel" has contributed to broadly theorized but insufficiently illustrated claims about British imperialism and the origins of the English novel, particularly in terms of a connection between the discursive strategies of empire and the novel's reliance on a voice of realistic, factual, or empirical authority. If we shift our attention, however, from individual texts to generic patterns, we can find much more concrete and extensive connections between the early novel and colonialist strategies of discursive domination.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Church leaders, gun-rights advocates and other activists have united in an effort to halt a National Security Agency electronic surveillance program. A lawsuit filed today by an unusually broad coalition of plaintiffs seeks an injunction against the NSA, Justice Department, FBI and the agencies' directors. The move comes after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed a U.S. intelligence program that monitors Internet and telephone activity to ferret out terror plots.
MOSCOW (AP) — National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has submitted a request for temporary asylum in Russia. His Russian lawyer says Snowden is claiming he faces persecution from the U.S. government and could face torture or death. He's been staying in the Moscow airport since he left Hong Kong on June 23.
PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona judge says she expects a new sentencing trial for Jodi Arias will be scheduled for late September. But she's giving lawyers more time to file motions. The jury that convicted Arias of murder in the death of her boyfriend Travis Alexander couldn't agree on whether to sentence her to death. Her murder conviction stands, but prosecutors must now decide whether to try again for a death sentence with a new jury or to settle for life in prison.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Pilot Flying J truck-stop chain has agreed to pay back the trucking companies that were cheated out of fuel rebates. A federal judge in Arkansas has given preliminary approval to a class-action settlement that would pay the companies what they are owed with interest. Five employees have pleaded guilty to federal charges in the scheme. Pilot Flying J is owned by Jimmy Haslam (HAZ'-lam), who also owns the Cleveland Browns and is the brother of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of homeowners facing higher federal flood insurance premiums would win a temporary one-year reprieve under a measure that's beginning its advance through the Senate. The relief would go to homeowners in low-lying areas of Louisiana, Florida and other states where new government surveys could produce flood insurance premium increases so big that they might be no longer able to afford their homes.

High legibility is a vital attribute in a diving watch, and to ensure that the dive time is as readable as possible even in dark waters, SEIKO commissioned Isshu Tamura, a world-renowned lacquer artist to create a dial that is truly jet black. Each dial is painted, layer by layer, and then polished by hand by Mr. Tamura in his studio in Kanazawa on the western shores of the Japanese mainland. Isshu Tamura was born in Kanazawa in 1957, and is a master of "Kaga Makie" which is a traditional style of lacquer.
The legibility is further enhanced by the use of anti-reflective coating on the sapphire glass.

Generation YouTube
Will teens stop at nothing to be famous?
Yesterday, we showed you disturbing video of a Florida cheerleader being beaten and assaulted by six of her peers. Her attackers documented the beating, allegedly with intentions of posting the video on the Internet. (Warning: This video contains graphic violence.)
Is this an example of teens' intense desire for fame going to a new and horrific level? We called friend of Mom•Logic and family therapist Shannon Fox for insight.
"Thanks to reality TV, there's this accessibility to fame that didn't exist in the past," she explains. "With the advent of MySpace and YouTube, fame really is just a click away."
Dr. Fox says when you ask teens what they want to be when they grow up, they don't list a profession like teacher or firefighter. Instead, they say they want to be famous. That's it.
Countless studies have been done on this phenomenon, and the results are always the same: Teens value fame over money, family, or even happiness.
Why? "Teens are feeling somewhat invisible these days," Dr. Fox says. "They don't get noticed by their peers for getting good grades. The easiest way to get attention from their friends and classmates is to be famous."
And for kids in junior high or high school, putting a video on YouTube or MySpace is the fastest way to gain notoriety. "They put a video online, and seconds later get fan mail flooding their in-box or MySpace page," Dr. Fox says. "It's instant gratification."
Teens will even put themselves in harm's way doing Jackass-style stunts on tape to get noticed. So what if they land in the hospital? Or get arrested for beating someone up on YouTube? According to Dr. Fox, "The consequences--no matter how severe--are so much less meaningful than the fame," she says.
"For teens, it doesn't matter if they are famous or infamous--as long as fame is in the title, they are all for it."
Yesterday's video isn't the only one we need to talk about with our kids. Click below to see what your kids could be witnessing at school and online. (Warning: These videos contain graphic violence.)
Tomorrow on ML: How to talk to your kids about violent online videos.
Parents must be so proud. These vermin could so with 60 days in a maximum security prison…… or watching the whole video 60 times.
If there is any justice, these monsters will spend at least a decade behind bars. Don't let anyone peddle the crap that they're just kids, the violence they inflicted shows they are dangerous to soceity.
Maybe if WE as a society didn't glorify violence and fame, these despicable excuses for human beings wouldn't be so fame-hungry.
And let's not forget to thank their parents for their WONDERFUL work!
People, we are a country at war! Violence is everywhere. Not just on you tube and myspace, but on the evening news each and every night. We live under the rule of a government that promotes violence. This country has the one of the highest numbers of its population living behind bars. Our prisons are overcrowded and yet, very few states still enforce the death penalty for these repeat offenders.
And for some reason no one will even attempt to speak out about how to deal with our own issues at the homeland; regarding the rise of violence in teens, parents at football and soccer games and even the ride we have to and from work. We hear it as kids, the constant need to try to be the best at everything, be number one, WIN, fight till the end! Our society cannot deal with conflict. Our fearless leaders will not wait to talk, speak or debate. No, it is all about who pulls out the guns first and starts throwing the punches.
I am a middle age female who has been beaten down by my own fear of what has become of this society. Early in life, I knew I did not want to bring a child into this world to experience anything like what I had endured. Still to this day, I am unmarried and have no children. To raise a child successfully in this world we have created is not impossible, but more than I can dare to imagine. This vicious cycle of violence must eventually end. It starts with our government and trickles down to parents and on to our children. God bless us all!
"The American pop culture is teaching girls to live without a moral compass," so says Jason Goldtrap, author of the novel Sarah Conrad of Eagle Creek. "We are raising kids to be fatality neutral in a world which features an ever growing chasm between action and consequence. Had these girls not been fighting they would have easily switched to kissing each other on video tape to please their boyfriends and gain their fifteen seconds of fame."

Good article especially for the fact that it's sole purpose was to promote four disturbing videos. Hope they generate lots of page hits for you, the four disturbing videos you have put up. Thin premise of 'fame' in order to get traffic with horrible violent videos, you should be ashamed. But in order to feel shame you need to a conscience, which you do not have.
I understand there were a group of girls there and this child was under severe attack… its horrifying. Still, part of me just wishes that poor girl, as scared as she must have been, would have just ape s**t on those girls and put THEM in the hospital.
Just an idea… but I think a good punishment would be one full YEAR of 40 hour per week community service… Cleaning rooms in a nursing home, cleaning bathrooms at a homeless shelter, things like that… Its too late to nip this violent/do whatever to get famous stuff in the bud, but we can start coming down strong… I don't think the jails are good places to deal with this stuff… but I do think we need programs that will help to instill some empathy into these young people…
I bet most of these girls are being raised in a single parent household, without a father present, because the mother wanted $$$ vs. a shared parenting household. Statistics show that most inmates male/female are raised by mothers, who demanded the fathers to see their children every other weekend so the mothers could enrich their lifestyle at the expense of shared parenting. Another hi five for NOW.
I was attacked by a student in a class room where the teacher just sat there and did nothing! It is an event in your life you NEVER FORGET! It is a memory burned into your brain. Most of all the other bullies will never let you forget. I know the pain. Kids can be so unkind. That is no excuse to do what they did. They plained this attack. I have no remorse for people who are cowards and attack in packs. These girls deserve everything they get. Someone should take them all in a room one by one and let 6 people beat them. Then see what they have to say. This stupid idea is now something they will have the rest of their lives to think about in prison! This is the sadest story I have ever seen. Worst of all the girls parents are trying to say "Well if that girl wouldn't talked trash about my girl!" Are you kidding me!? Your Kid is a Monster! What the Hell were they Thinking? They Learned it from someone or something! This is just so sad and now 8 children have lost their lives over stupid rumors. RUMORS!
It was a total shock today when I heard that all the girls and the two guys are pleading Not Guilty! They didn't even show up to court! I hope they get life! Stupid Punks! I think Dr.
Phil and them should all do Life! Idiots! That makes so me mad! This is why people are leary of the Justice System!
After seeing several of the news casts and the clips of video released to the public I feel compelled to comment more on the mother of mercedes than anything else. The mother is just as much to blame in this matter as is the daughter. Her attitude points to a very growing problem where people don't want to take responsibility for anything and try to make it all about the other persons fault. As a ex call center operator I'm not shocked at all that something like this would happen. It gets worse from here though I guarantee it. All the teens involved in the beating deserve nothing less than to be crucified before their peers and mocked openly for the filth they promote and represent. As for Doc Phil, what he's done is nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt. Once he uses then for his own personal gain he'll kick them to the curb faster than last years ratings.

Lightroom vs Aperture - The Resultsby Michael Clark
Editor's note: Once Lightroom 1.0 was released, many people suggested that an Aperture vs Lightroom comparison would be valuable. On one hand, I liked the idea because comparisons, when handled properly, are useful. But I wanted something that would be helpful for both our Aperture and Lightroom communities.
It dawned on me that we could run parallel comparisons by two different writers on each of our sites. From the Aperture blog I asked Micah Walter, and from our Lightroom site, Michael Clark, the author of this article.
In my opinion both of these guys have put forth an outstanding effort. In Micah's article, Aperture vs Lightroom - An O'Reilly "Inside Aperture" Field Test, he takes his Aperture experience and pits it against Lightroom during a real shoot. And here in Michael's article, he brings his Lightroom experience into play as he compares it to Aperture.
To get the full benefit of what these guys have done, I encourage you to read both articles. It's an investment of time, I know, but the reward will be a greater understanding of these two innovative photo management applications.
A Week with Lightroom... and Aperture
After a long week of comparing Lightroom and Aperture, things are starting to heat up, including my MacBook Pro. Woohoo, I'm just waiting for it to ignite into flames after putting these two applications to the test. I've been working with each program and am ready to give my opinions on the topics I listed in my first Lightroom vs. Aperture post on February 19th.
I'd like to reiterate that these are my opinions; I don't claim to be an expert on either of these software applications. The program that works best for me is based on my present knowledgebase of these two programs, the type and quantity of images I produce, and my previous experience. Your experience may differ--all part of the fun. So, lean back in a comfy chair and relax. This could take a while.
Because I have an Apple MacBook Pro that's newer than my G5 tower, and because Aperture won't load onto my G5, I worked with both programs on my laptop so as to keep the comparison equal. My MacBook Pro has 2GB of RAM installed and has a Dual 2.3 GHz processor. And just for the record, I know Lightroom inside and out. I've used Aperture to work up a number of images in the past, so I know how to use it already to some degree, but I'm no expert. I shoot with Nikons and my main camera is a Nikon D2x.
Color Management
Aperture and Lightroom handle color in much the same way, and they're both dependent on a good monitor calibration device to assure consistent color. In Aperture, the color space for exported images is controlled in the Image Export Preset (Preset > Image Export) while in Lightroom, it's in the Export dialog box itself. No huge differences that I can see here.
Importing Images and Adding Metadata
In my experience, there isn't much difference between how you import images into Lightroom or Aperture. Lightroom has some unique and slightly more powerful options, such as being able to back up images as you import them. And the user interface is much nicer with Lightroom thanks to the metadata templates. Lightroom reminds me of Photo Mechanic. The ability to back up images as they're imported (if you're importing from a memory card) is just another nice touch to help speed up the workflow process.
I didn't notice a huge difference in how long it took each program to import images. Both programs set up a "hot" folder on the desktop to automatically import images, which is especially nice if you're shooting tethered.
File/Folder Structure
The folder structures for each program differ only slightly, so this is one of those cases where personal preference matters most. It's nice that you can create projects and smart folders in Aperture but I don't really need that for my workflow. With all of the other topics I'm covering here, I confess I didn't have a lot of time to work with the different projects and smart folder structure in Aperture.
Photo Editing: Ranking and Rating Images, Stacking and Versions
Editor's note: We distinguish between "photo editing," which is selecting the best shots from a day's work, and "image editing," which is altering the pixels on a picture, such as making an exposure adjustment. In this section, Michael compares the photo editing capabilities of both Aperture and Lightroom.
Photo editing is the raison d'etre for both Aperture and Lightroom. Both of these applications are far ahead of any other photo editing software currently available, and both speed up the selection process considerably. It seems that Aperture and Lightroom were created specifically to deal with the large number of images shot digitally these days. And both handle that task extremely well.
As much as I'd like to say that I prefer one program over the other, I think both are superior editing applications. With large dual monitors (see user interface section below) and a super fast desktop computer, Aperture becomes a very potent editing tool. Lightroom may seem simple compared to Aperture in this regard, but its simplicity is its greatest strength during the photo editing process.
With both applications, ranking and rating your pictures is simple. There's not much difference save for the fact that Lightroom allows you three different methods for ranking images--color, stars and flags--while Aperture uses only stars. This isn't terribly important, but it's nice to have the color ratings in Lightroom so I can color code which images are going to my various stock agencies or other clients and not disturb my star ratings.
Now let's get to Stacking in Aperture and Lightroom. Personally, I don't see the need to use stacks. My methods for editing use star ratings in stages, and I upgrade the star ratings in successive editing sessions to choose which images get processed. I find this to be a more logical editing process. It gives me time to really look at my images and decide which ones are the real gems from a photo shoot. Having said all that, there's no arguing that the Stacking feature is much better implemented in Aperture than in Lightroom. That's because of the visual separation of the images in Aperture. In Lightroom, it works almost the same way, but it's hard to tell where one stack ends and another begins.
The Versions feature works similarly in Lightroom and Aperture also. In fact, it works so well in both applications that I like them equally. I'm happy Lightroom has added this feature because it lets me make black and white versions of my favorite color images without altering the original color master.
And last, but certainly not least, both Aperture and Lightroom have really sophisticated Compare modes for pulling up images side by side and comparing them at 100 percent or at screen size. This is one of the best features in both programs and really allows you to analyze your images on a technical level. I only wish they'd let us compare more than two images. It would be great to be able to compare up to five images at 100 percent at the same time.

Is it possible in both Aperture and Lightroom to locate your library in an external hardrive or storage like Drobo?
Lightroom handling of RAW/Jpeg images
2007-06-10 08:13:38 bendee [View]
I've been using LR for a few weeks and have been puzzled by the way LR handles those images I capture with RAW and Jpeg saved for the same image. I usually do this so that I can immediately send the Jpeg off to someone, while I decide what I'm going to do with the RAW image. I can't find those Jpegs in LR even though they're recorded as a separate file in Finder and even in Bridge. All LR shows is the RAW images. Those images don't even show up in the LR folders, and the image numbers exactly add up to only the RAW images. On the other hand, if I only capture Jpeg, then LR shows this image and does so as a Jpeg. Any explanation?

portability and flickr
2007-04-12 16:18:22 gfurry [View]
I have looked all around for an easy solution to my 2 issues with Lightroom. #1 How do you easily shoot and edit on the road and then transfer everything over to your master library when you get home? Not just the images but the edits and the history.
#2 In Aperture I use the flickr export plugin to upload photos to flickr. It lets me upload everything very easily and even adds a flckr keyword to the image after it has uploaded it so I know which pix I have uploaded. Is there a simple way or similar plugin available for Lightroom?
Lightroom's major missing feature...
2007-03-23 07:30:10 vince_m5 [View]
Applescript! How does Adobe, who have incorporated some of the most extensive Applescript dictionaries available into Photoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator *totally* drop the ball on Lightroom?
Please tell me that this is in the plans for version 1.1... it would just about make the purchase decision a no-brainer.
Slowness and Lightroom
2007-03-15 16:22:03 michaelclarkphoto [View]
Steven -
Sorry to hear that you have had speed issues with Lightroom. You are the first I have ever heard that has had this problem - most complain that Aperture is way slower than Lightroom.
I offer the following advice:
1 - check to see that you have at least 50% of your hard drive space on your G5 available. If you are working with less than 25% unused that can slow down all applications especially these.
2 - make sure that you Render the 1:1 previews after importing images into Lightroom. It doesn't happen auotmatically and this will greatly speed up everything in lightroom.
3 - I've used Lightroom with a Nikon D2x (12 MP) and a Canon 1Ds (16 MP ) so unless you are using a MF 39 MP back this shouldn't matter too much.
4 - if you have your lightroom Libray/cache on an external hard drive (USB or Firewire) this can massively (i.e. BIG TIME) slow down everything. Put the cache on a faster drive with a SATA connection if need be or better yet leave it on the G5's internal drive.
I have the exact same computer as you do and have experienced very snappy and fast movement in Lightroom - faster than any imaging software I've ever used. So I don't know what to tell you otherwise.
In terms of the user interface, well that is personal preference - go with what works for you. Happy hunting...
Cheers, Michael Clark
Interesting observation on speed
2007-03-15 13:06:04 Bruizer [View]
I enjoyed reading your review. Having been a user of C1 Pro for the past 4 years or so, I felt they are falling way behind in many areas of the RAW interface program and decided to set out and find a new tool. I did a 1 week use of both Aperture (1.5.1) and Lightroom 1.0 to try and decide what applications I would end up using for the next 4 years.
The MAJOR deciding factor is Lightroom was simply a DOG!!! There was no contest (this is on a Power Mac Dual G5 2.0 Ghz/GForce Ultra 6800 DDL Video/4.5 GB RAM). Every action felt like it was on molasses. In short, Lightroom was (and still is) simply too slow for productive use on my machine. This was from waiting several seconds to load images to very slow updates on any adjustments (1-2 seconds).
Aperture, on the other hand, simply glided most of the time. If too many filters are added, it hits a wall but even then is still a good 50% faster than Lightroom on a good day.
And as for the Interfaces. Allot of thought seems have been put into each one, but I found myself fighting the interface a bit more on Lightroom. It might be that I never used ACR so I am simply not used to it at all. The metadata browser was right cool, however, and hope to see in Aperture in the future.
Makes me wonder what the differences are. Could this be as much the camera used (Canon VS Nikon for the review), video card, memory, processor?
iView has a function that both don't
2007-03-09 23:02:07 PunkStarStudios [View]
I've been doing the same thing for a few days - comparing trial versions of both Aperture and Lightroom.
Hands down - I love the Lightroom UI.
Aperture's integration with iLife is a HUGE bonus though - so this almost equals out the last point (almost).
One GLARING shortcoming though is the lack of auto syncing folders. I'm a recent Mac user, and on the PC I used Picasa (I almost shed a tear after bying the 24" iMac when I saw not OSX version of Picasa existed). Picasa autosynced the folders you set up to watch. When I dumped photos into a a folder - I didn't have to keep track of them for importing into my DAM software - it did that all on it's own automatically.
I am profoundly saddened by the lack of this feature in both Aperture and Lightroom. I know iView and Portfolio has it, and I applaud them - but the editing tools just aren't there for these guys... I've been seduced by the lightroom UI is most likely my problem here.
Anyhow, If Picasa ever made an OSX version, both Apeture and Lightroom will be in trouble (especially since Picasa is FREE). If Picasa ties into iLife... hell - that will be the one-two punch as far as I'm concerned.
Can someone PLEASE tell Adobe to look at the auto sync feature (this is no where near the same as their watched folder feature), and integration into iLife (and iWork for that matter) would have me pre-ordering the next release!
Lightroom Web Gallery Poor Quality
2007-03-08 11:25:58 justinbastien [View]
Not only does Lightroom not have the option to sharpen images, it is also exporting HTML files with incorrect information. I created a web gallery using the Midnight template, set the Preview setting to 600 (large images) and exported the web gallery. All of the vertical images have been resized to 599, while the value for the height attribute in the img tag is set to 600. As a result of this inconsistency in the actual size of the image (599) and the height attribute (600) the images look considerably distorted.
I�ll be sticking with Photoshop for creating web galleries until Lightroom provides the ability to sharpen images and at least produces accurate HTML code and properly resizes images.
Alas for the iPhoto victims
2007-03-06 21:03:48 jfaughnan [View]
I'm doing my own testing of Lightroom, and I'm disappointed that it's so good. There's no real comparison, for me it's much better than Aperture. It's extremely fast on my G5 iMac and very easy to understand. I was productive immediately.
So why the disappointment?
Only Aperture will import iPhoto Libraries. I'm stuck.
Great series
2007-03-06 20:52:46 etherfarm [View]
First of all, thanks to both you and Micah for spending some time "wearing the other's hat". This has been a great series of articles.
I, like perhaps many, am trying to decide between Aperture and Lightroom. I've spent years using iView Media Pro and a new camera acquisition has given me impetus to rethink my cataloging and processing workflow from scratch. I'm currently running, simultaneously, the trial versions of both Aperture and Lightroom, importing the same photos into both programs, getting a feel for each.
I would suggest, not necessarily as a criticism, that Michah seemed to give stronger consideration to the value in Lightroom's features than you did for Aperture's. Even after only a short time with both programs (longer with Lightroom, as I've been a beta user since b2), I can tell that Aperture's asset handling is far superior to Lightroom's. You seemingly write off these features, saying that you don't really need them for your workflow, and that "you didn't have a lot of time to work with the different projects and smart folder structure in Aperture." You take a similar approach towards many areas where Aperture excels, such as stacking, sharpening, and printing. I'm not saying a Lightroom bias was necessarily apparent, just that it may have been a good opportunity for you to consider how these features might benefit your workflow.
For example, I can't begin to tell you how valuable I find smart folders and stacking in Aperture, (I'm very glad Adobe put the latter feature into the final release). Sure, in iView and in the Lightroom betas, I can't say they played a very valuable role in my workflow--but that's because these features were completely absent. Only after I started contemplating how these features could be useful did I see its true value. In even this short trial period, in which I've loaded both programs with roughly 20,000 images, smart folders are an absolutely killer feature. Though as as you report, want to get behind the camera more, for some of us the time organizing and printing pictures is also part of the reward.
I agree there are aspects of Lightroom which are far more intuitive than Aperture, and should it sound like I'm defending Aperture, I'm not--I'm still very much undecided. Both programs have strengths, and at this point it's perhaps more a decision of how I want to work than evaluating features in and of themselves. I have ordered a new desktop system which might help me better evaluate the two programs. As you report, Lightroom seems way ahead on the performance / footprint ratio.
Anyway, thanks again for the series. I look forward to reading both Inside Aperture and Inside Lightroom, regardless of which program I end up with.

I shared a story at our recent user conference on October 9, 2012. The moral of that story was how smart and effective recruitment can pull talent away from other employers towards you. The audience agreed with me that with a low unemployment rate and other factors, most if not all of the businesses in Singapore are facing a talent crunch. As a result, employers are finding it very hard to get people to advance their business.
As HR, we need to remind ourselves that recruitment is not just about posting job ads and doing hiring administration. Recruitment is about generating a pool of suitably qualified candidates for a job and making it attractive for potential employees to want to join your organisation.
Hiring managers must think and act like a marketer. Just like marketing a product, every step of the hiring process (yes even the way the job posting was constructed!) will be examined by the candidates, affecting their perceptions, feelings, opinions, how they perceive your organisation and what it stands for, and ultimately whether they would click on the 'Apply' button.
Some organisations have key performance indicator (KPI) for hiring managers on how fast they fill up a vacancy, also commonly known as 'Time-to-Hire'. I would like to suggest that this KPI be supplemented by another KPI – 'How satisfied was the organisation (new hire's supervisor, co-workers) with this new hire?' We should find out and measure how the new hire contributed to the culture and performance amongst other measures. The reason is simply because if HR wants to be more than an administrative expert, and be a strategic partner to the business, all activities in HR should revolve on fundamental questions such as:
• How can I as HR contribute to the business?
• How do we create a powerful linkage between business strategies to HR strategies?
• How can we develop the organisation, its people and culture to deliver high performance?
And in the whole HR delivery process, getting recruitment (the very first step) right will be of paramount importance. HR should use tools and technology to support your recruitment strategies. Besides using social media such as Facebook and Linked In to recruit and maintain organisational branding, HR should also consider leveraging on technology to make the recruitment process more effective and efficient. For example, many recruitment systems allow you to filter the thousands of resumes into 'qualified lists' based on user definable queries (asking salary, education level, years of experience etc.) saving the hiring manager many hours of manually filtering through email resumes. Some other time-saving functionalities include integration with job-boards, online assessment tools, and transfer of successful candidates directly into your existing HR database. But more importantly, recruitment systems can also help you to manage your talent pool by sending them automated yet personalised emails. Constant updates through newsletters also allow you to keep 'warm' with those candidates that you wish to hire but have no immediate suitable vacancy for.
So start planning your recruitment strategy now!

An older Eric recalls a time when he fell in love with a bag of sugar as a boy. John doesn't care.
Sunday School Episode Fun Fact #1: This episode is based off an idea by Bill Saggot, a friend. The basic idea was of a lonely high school boy who can't get a date, instead falls in love with a bag of sugar given to him in Home Ec class to be taken care as a baby. As you can see, it's been changed around to fit the world of Sunday School.
Sunday School Episode Fun Fact #2: The older Eric & older John parts of this episode take place a year before "The Artist Trilogy" began.
