On May 10, NCSHA submitted comments to HUD on the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Tool for States and Insular Areas, which HUD will require states to use to complete the Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) under AFFH. The AFH replaces the Fair Housing Analysis of Impediments, which HUD program participants previously undertook to assess impediments to housing choice. AFFH requires all entities that receive funding from HUD grant programs—HOME, the Community Development Block Grant, the Emergency Solutions Grant, and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS—and public housing authorities to take part in the AFH process.
NCSHA’s comments reflect our deep concerns about the state tool, which we believe imposes unreasonable requirements on states and goes well beyond what is necessary for states to achieve meaningful fair housing planning. We argue that HUD severely underestimates the time and cost of the AFH process and does not take into full consideration the challenges associated with statewide AFH implementation.
NCSHA urged HUD to provide a separate opportunity for states to comment on the state mapping and data tool, which HUD has not yet made available, but which states will need to use to answer the questions in the state AFH tool. We also raised concerns about the reliability and transparency of some datasets that HUD will incorporate in the mapping and data tool, and urged HUD to use the most recent data available for the mapping and data tool.
We counseled HUD not to require states to answer questions that will necessitate the collection of new local data. NCSHA also encouraged HUD to minimize duplication of efforts between states and local program participants, provide flexibility in the use of state and local data, and make optional the analysis of non-housing policy areas.
NCSHA offered to assist HUD by helping to coordinate meetings between HUD staff and HFAs so that we can work together to develop a meaningful state assessment tool that challenges state participants in HUD programs to effectively plan to further fair housing, while being mindful of their capacity, available resources, and jurisdictional authority.
Once HUD processes the comments it receives on the tool and potentially modifies it in response to those comments, HUD will reissue the tool for a second comment period of 30 days.

Mr. Brian Dames the COO of Generation in South Africa’s ESKOM said that “renewables are expensive, we all know that. We are a moderate wind country and we will exploit that”.
The record of ESKOM in exploiting wind or any other renewable is among the worst in the world. They haven’t done any new renewables. There are no commercial wind farms in South Africa. The energy plans drawn up by Eskom, with no critical inputs from elsewhere, shows a tiny proportion of wind, and a massive investment in pumped storage projects like Ingula, with the potential for even more such wasteful pumped storage projects to follow. Personally, I would love to see some kind of an economic case being made for pumped storage. We do not know if they ever pay for themselves, because there is no transparency about their project economics. They generate no net electricity, in fact they are at best 70% efficient. This means that if 100 units of electricity are stored only 70 are got back out. The principle is that they take electricity when it is cheap at night, store it, and release it to the market when it is expensive during the day. In no markets that have been studied has the price differential between day and night justified the investment made in building the pumped storage. I have seen it included in some proposals to build new nuclear power stations. All it does is add to the cost of nuclear.
The main area we would take issue with their executives is on their contention that “renewables are expensive and we all know that”. I suspect the “we” refers to people in ESKOM, because those of us not included in the “we” know the opposite.
The first question is: what does “expensive” mean? Does it mean the capital cost is expensive, the fuel is expensive, the clean- up of waste is expensive, the annual running cost is expensive or the decommissioning cost is expensive? Or does it mean the water used in cooling and the steam cycle is expensive? The risks you undertake in committing to a particular generating plant leads to expense and were those risks taken into account by ESKOM when he talked about expense?
Let us compare wind energy, currently the most developed of the renewables with a coal fired plant or a nuclear plant.
If something appears expensive because it costs “millions”, this has little meaning because the alternative to that something could cost billions.
Expensive is always a comparative term.
Look at what happens when you build a coal fired plant.
On average, the capital cost of the coal fired plant is the same as the wind plant around the world.
Every tonne of coal costs money. It may not cost a lot if the coal is mined cheaply in South Africa but it is still “expensive” relative to wind which costs nothing. Coal mines run out as well whereas the wind always blows.
Each unit of electricity produced using coal releases 0.8kg CO2 into the atmosphere. A 1,000 MW coal fired power station releases, and dumps into the atmosphere, when running full out, 1,880 tonnes of CO2 every day. Once the carbon taxes are put in place,this will costs ZAR 260,000.00 per day in fines. In a year this amounts to ZAR 94.8 million. The same electricity delivered from a wind farm costs nothing in fines.
By the way the price the carbon fine is based on is €13 per tonne, (the current price). In the successor treaty to Kyoto the level of prices could go to a €30 - €40 range.
Coal stations use water in the steam cycle and for cooling purposes. Water costs money particularly in South Africa, where it is in short supply. The water usage in South Africa, where cooling towers would be used, is 1.2 litres for every unit of electricity.
Wind power uses no water. It turns the raw energy in the wind directly into electricity. All the cooling, and there isn’t a lot, is done using air.
When it comes to annual running costs, wind energy scores heavily. Wind units turn themselves on and off automatically. They do not have high pressures or temperatures to contend with. In addition the creation of this new industry will support the governments clean technology and green economy strategy by creating new jobs as you re-skill workers to take up cleaner, safer jobs in this sector.
What about risk? Coal is an internationally traded commodity. Its price has varied over the past year from $220 per tonne to $80/tonne. This price risk is passed on to the electricity customer. Small or large businesses in South Africa are forced to carry an electricity price risk as is now seen in the MYPD tariff hikes Eskom is asking for, and most South Africans are up in arms about. This affects business profoundly. It affects business competitiveness and therefore impacts on employment, something South Africa can least afford.
There is no price risk with wind. What cost you see on day one is the cost you see at day 1,000 or 10,000 or day 100,000 or day 1,000,000. It is planable. Around the world it has been observed that wind power lowers the risks on a power system. Consequently, it lowers the price to the customer. Depending on the plant mix the cost reduction amounts to between 5 and 15%.
I hear you say that because South Africa mines it own coal that the risk goes away. Actually that is not the case. If coal continues to be burned at say a cost of $80/tonne and the internationally traded cost is $180/tonne then South Africa is subsidising its local electricity production. This means the external revenue foregone shoves up the price of other goods or money (in increased interest charges). The risk is paid for elsewhere in the economy.
Fossil fuel price risk never goes away. It will be with us until the world achieves the transition to sustainability.
Once wind generation plant is built it is indeed arguable that there are no effective decommissioning costs. The wind farm will be there when our grand children’s grand children are growing up. To be sure individual components will have been replaced but the electrical substations, the roads, the foundations, the towers, the bed plate in the nacelles; the transformers are all very long lasting items. So long as we rely on electricity a wind farm will continue to pump out the units.
A nuclear plant cannot be built in the private sector alone. Its life is approximately 40 years, but it produces waste products like caesium 137, strontium 90 and plutonium 239 which have half lives of 30 years, 29 years and 24,0000+ years respectively. Treating and storing this waste has to be paid for by somebody – it is not usually charged for in the price of electricity – the tax payer carries the cost and the risk.
Governments become involved. There are also security issues with all of these radioactive elements with plutonium particularly being beloved by terrorists.
So what about ESKOM’s assertion that “renewables are expensive and we all know that”?
This assertion is not based on any facts or analysis.
In fact the opposite is true. Everywhere wind power has been introduced it has reduced the price of electricity and it has helped stabilise the price volatility of fossil fuels. It is seen as the cornerstone of German, British, Danish, and Spanish generation. It is the fastest growing generating methodology.
In my next Blog I will show how wind does not need to be “backed up” by any coal or nuclear in South Africa.
Today it is sufficient to prove that wind is the cheapest generating solution for South Africa.

Down 24-6 with just over five minutes to go in the third quarter, the Chiefs rallied to tie the game and win it in overtime on a 31 yard field goal from Ryan Succop, as the Chiefs beat the New Orleans Saints 27-24 for their first win of the season. Drew Brees connected with Jed Collins on a six yard pass to give the Saints an 18 point lead with 5:36 to play in the third. 18 second later, Jamaal Charles ran for a 91 yard touchdown. Charles finished with 233 yards on 33 carries. Any doubts about his repaired ACL are gone.
Ryan Succop hit six field goals on the day, including two early in the fourth to draw the Chiefs to within five at 24-19. Brees was dropped for a safety by Justin Houston, making it a two point game with 5:33 to go. On the ensuing possession, the Chiefs took over at their 38 with 5:33 to play and put together a 13 play drive, setting up Succop’s fifth field goal with three seconds left in regulation.
In overtime, the Chiefs got out to midfield and had to punt. Dustin Colquitt pinned New Orleans at their three and after three incompletions, punted, setting up the Chiefs for their second and final drive in OT at their own 47. The game appeared to be over when a fumble was recovered by the Saints and taken the other way 57 yards for a touchdown, but the play was reversed giving the Chiefs new life. Matt Cassel got the Chiefs down to the 13, where Succop nailed the game winner from 31 yards out.

I am seriously torn about this book. I like Ms. Chandler's writing style and being in her main character's head, but I have some big issues with some of the plot points that made it impossible for me to finish reading it. I was excited to read it, although also worried that this was not the time to start reading a book that deals with mass shootings and terrorism--not with there being more mass shootings this year than there have been days. I eventually decided to give it a try because at this rate, there would never be a good time to read it. Even yesterday as I tried to get through it, there were reports of an active shooter on the campus of Arkansas State University. Because of course there was.
Cailin McKenna loves her job with the NPIU--National Protective Investigative Unit, but it often has her dealing with things she would rather not have to contemplate. Case in point: she's currently working with the police department, trying to find a connection between two school shootings in a matter of days. To make matters worse? She knows the shooter from the most recent case. When it appears that the connection between the shootings is music from a Neo-Nazi label based out of Minneapolis, Cailin and the others in her unit search for more clues that a hate group is responsible for the shooters' actions through the messages in their lyrics.
The thing that bugs me the most is that music is apparently to blame for two teenagers shooting up their schools. Yes, music can make you feel a certain way--there's a reason why I have a Cheer Me Up Spotify Playlist--but music cannot force someone to pull the trigger just as violent video games, television shows, and movies cannot. The thing is that music has been blamed for so many things over the years. People think that it started with Rock music, but that's not true. Twenty years before rock was considered a tool of the Devil, the older generation said the same thing about Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin (yes, the Rat Pack sewed discord, according to my Great Grandparents' generation). In earlier years (and again later on), music was blamed for suggestive dancing (Don't we all love Dirty Dancing?). In the early 19th Century, women had to have permission from their parents to dance a waltz before heading out onto the dance floor with potential suitors because that type of dancing involved being held much closer than older styles (aka the more appropriate kind of dancing), which supposedly made everyone horny. Music was blamed for this because if waltz-like music wasn't made, then no one would be waltzing. Oh, those strict Regency morals.
Don't even get me started on the Rock Around the Clock riot in Munich back in the mid-1950's. Obviously, Bill Haley and the Comets wanted people to tear each other apart. That's totally what that song is about, right?
Then, of course, there were the 80's when the Reagan and Bush administrations thought that heavy metal music could contribute to delinquency of minors and suicide. There was even a court case against Judas Priest because two kids committed suicide after listening to their album, Stained Glass.
In the 90's when I was still in elementary school everyone blamed Marilyn Manson music for the Columbine School Shooting--even kids in my class (mostly because that's what they heard from their parents, who were just aping the media's stance on the situation). Marilyn Manson did not cause Columbine. Wagner did not cause Nazism despite being Hitler's preferred music.
I get that everyone is entitled to their opinions, no matter what erroneous information they are based upon, but should anyone be spreading such nonsense as music causing violent behavior? I think that is almost as dangerous is spreading hateful, Islamophobic rhetoric despite all evidence pointing to the exact opposite of anything one specific Right-Wing Nutjob claims.
I did have other problems with this book; pacing being a big one. The prologue has you at the edge of your seat as you're in the shooter's head while he's killing his classmates. Then, as soon as the first chapter starts the action stops, focusing more on Cailin's personal life than on the details of the case. Now, if this was listed as a romance, I wouldn't have a problem with this, and when I'm reading romantic suspense, I tend to get annoyed when there is a greater focus on the procedural aspects of the case than on the romance. This, however, is labeled as a mystery/thriller. I want to know about the case, not about Cailin's psycho ex-girlfriend.
Another big problem was that this is listed as being the first book in a series, but it doesn't read like that. Instead, it feels like you're dropped into the middle of a series. There are all kinds of hints at this other big case that Cailin was involved in and about the romance that developed with her current girlfriend, Alex, during that case. It just doesn't make sense. I kept having to go back to the book's Netgalley page to make sure that it did in fact say that this was the first in the series.
Combined with everything I mentioned in yesterday's Video of the Day post (odd pop culture details that fit more with 2004-2005 than with 2014-2015), this was just too much for me. It really is a pity because I wanted to like this so much.

Winter coats just got a hell of a lot more interesting. Bomber jacket, meet puffer coat (angels sing)!
Puffer coats are simply unavoidable in NYC. I've tried. Short of wearing so many layers that you can quite bend your arms, wool coats don't do the same thing in below zero temps! Not to mention wet weather and ugh all of the gross things that come with not being smart enough to move to California.
I love this coat because it's cool AF but also it's light enough to wear before the deep freeze but is also perfect for layers and is very warm! Did I mention it's cool? Sorry, obsessed.

gifts…and happy weekend wishes to you!
One morning recently, during our daily reading and study as a family, we talked to our children about recognizing and realizing the gifts they have been given. Not the physical gifts, mind you…we were asking them to figure out what gifts they have been given naturally or that need to be recognized and developed to come to greater fruition to help them and others throughout this journey we call life.
Now that I’m blogging, I am reminded of a book entitled The Twelve Gifts of Birth, which my mother found when I was a teenager and read to me then. I haven’t read it often to my children, but I would like for them to realize the concept.
I find that when I am looking to recognize my gifts that I also work to recognize the gifts in others…which produces positivity and happiness within me and love for those around me as I see them in a new light. I see within them the potential for greatness.
What gifts have you been given? And what are you doing to develop those gifts more fully?
I’ve given my children the assignment to ponder over the coming days with the goal to reconvene to discuss our findings…and my husband and I are working on the challenge with them. Will you join us? We can adopt each other as family for the week and think of what talents, gifts, and light we have been given…and seek inspiration on what we can do to magnify these gifts in our lives. 🙂 I’m interested to see what we discover about ourselves and others in the process!

Exactly what is the difference between values and ideas and just how does the catering company influence your goals?
One of the most significant things comprehend mental performance and fact is a real difference between thoughts and values. The difference from a idea and a perception is you will probably have thousands of thoughts under-going your thoughts but not one of them keep any electrical power besides people that are values. A perception is information and facts for you to understand as real truth or knowledge. Deciding on to make a idea actual or not is usually a choice under the very power of the desire.
Thought is primary a mindful notion, then it gets to be a other than conscious ram, operating night and day. Its this that manages the loa, simply because the regulations of interest and repulsion are fully other than conscious. Opinions might be mindful first of all, but they’re other than conscious every time they are put in motion. The subconscious mind will be the seat of feelings plus the collection of ram, as a result ram is linked with feelings. Sensation is strength in motion. Greater feelings a perception has, the greater it is able to switch topic. daemon tools Vulnerable thoughts have little feelings. Robust thoughts have a lot of feelings.
The factors we manifest in our life come from our other than conscious values rather then our mindful pondering. When we believe all we presume on could manifest in a variety or any other, we can in all probability stroll about frightened for the reason that many people usually are not pondering stimulating thoughts on a regular basis. When we have the idea that whenever we feel a perception, it will develop our certainty, you have to would definitely be worried to consider something more.
Emotion is strength in motion, as a result all action is psychological. The subconscious mind for the reason that seat of feelings will be the business part of the imagination. All task is finished through the subconscious mind which is the resourceful university. The mindful imagination merely redirects and tells, therefore the subconscious mind constantly operates harmoniously while using the mindful imagination. The arrival collectively of mindful and subconscious mind so that you can manifest winrar certainty consistently involves the portion of want and feelings.
A mindful idea just has impact when staying knowingly talked about. As soon as the idea is intensified and gal with feelings, it creates more than enough traction to remain sweeping naturally and be continuous. The idea gets to be a ram plus the other than conscious encoding that goes your entire imagination. Every legitimate perception is not only mindful but other than conscious and is linked with feelings. A perception is usually a idea covered with the clothes of feelings.
Almost there is no-one to maintain a mindful concentrate on whatever for more than a couple of seconds. When you concentration as thoroughly as you possibly can on retaining images or idea in your thoughts, notice the time it requires in advance of another thing bursts within the consciousness. That another thing isn’t too far off from the subconscious mind because it is forever in movement.
Thus, it really is important to make sure that your subconscious mind overwhelms the focus on the focus on as your mindful nero download imagination merely can’t practice it. When you emotionalize thinking preferably, the various components in the neural that do well at retaining concentration, the frontal lobes, are stimulated in the preserves the mandatory other than conscious concentration. This means that, unconsciously, you keep you for the treasure, even when you are sleeping.
When your subconscious mind recognizes the solution it is provided with, it requires origin and turns into set in motion.
The idea turns into emotionalized, internalized and receives a perception.
The fastest approach to have the values to manifest the things you want is by self-hypnosis and Neuro-linguistic programming. There are many other ways and definitely there are methods to be observed. For now though, in western culture,the most effective methods of us to run the other than conscious values that can constantly have the brain centered on building our would like is by self-hypnosis. You can utilize affirmations or meditation but them consider to much time.
Once your other than conscious has got the values that support everything you mindful imagination would like, you won’t be able to stop oneself from advancing in direction of your goals.

Doha: AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 winners Qatar could play friendlies against Brazil or Uruguay in June ahead of playing in the 2019 Copa America, the team's head coach and officials said on Wednesday.
The South American giants are among a list of teams Qatar are trying to secure matches against - others include Colombia, Panama and the USA - ahead of their first Copa America appearance.
"We need to finalise the preparations but sure we need to play a couple of games," said head coach Felix Sanchez on the sidelines of an award ceremony for the winning squad in Doha.
"We prepare a list of potential teams that we would like to play against but also we need to see their availability."
Qatar Football Association (QFA) president H.E. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani said the team's first friendly would be in early June.
"It will be [a team] from South America, we will announce it as soon as possible," he said.
Qatar have been drawn in Group B with Argentina, Colombia and Paraguay in the Copa America, which starts on June 15 and will be hosted by Brazil.
Qatar will be joined by Japan - who the West Asians defeated 3-1 in the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 final - in the Copa America. Japan will play in Group C with Uruguay, Ecuador and Chile.
Sheikh Hamad added that the QFA was "working" on a new contract for Sanchez following the AFC Asian Cup triumph.
Sanchez, however, said he did not need one, but when asked how long his existing contract was for, he said he could not "remember".

There’s probably nothing more painful to me than the thought of trudging through 800-1000 images from each wedding I photograph. However, when it comes to my favorite few images from each job, the ones that I’ll share on social media or use to update my website, I take a dive into Lightroom and Photoshop and enjoy every second of it.
From speaking to newer photographers, I’m learning that many of them aren’t using Photoshop in their businesses and workflow, but instead are utilizing Lightroom for 90-100% of their post-processing. One of the newest trends is being able to retouch in Lightroom, rather than having to do it solely in Photoshop. There’s nothing that flows about doing half the post-processing in Lightroom and then having to jump into Photoshop to finish things up image-by-image. Personally, I don’t have nearly enough experience in Lightroom or teaching its advanced techniques, so I interviewed Adobe Lightroom Certified Instructor and upcoming WPPI speaker, Dave Doeppel, about how his workflow evolved this year in his Pinup and Boudoir business and how the rest of us can do the same.
Vanessa: You have a very unique look to your images. What is your overall process to pull off this look that shows off your brand so well?
Dave: My Pinup photographs are heavily post-processed to get the look I want. This requires Photoshop and lots of high-end techniques like Frequency Separation, Dodge and Burn, and a handful of specific actions. On the Boudoir and Portrait side of my business, I do not need as much, if any, post processing and rarely do I need to go into Photoshop unless I wanted to do a bit of skin smoothing or clean up some blemishes.
Vanessa: Why did you rely mostly on Photoshop, rather than Lightroom, initially?
Dave: In previous versions of Lightroom, it just wasn't possible to do much of that work and you really needed to look to Photoshop for it. Lightroom 5 has changed that; the Adjustment Brush and the Spot Removal tool work far better than previous versions. Using the Spot Removal Tool in Heal mode does a fabulous job of clearing up blemishes. Now, the Adjustment Brush also comes with some defaults, one of them being Soften Skin. What does it do? It dials the Clarity slider all the way down to -100. Does it smooth the skin? Yes. Does it look good? Not really. So, I still never did much retouching in Lightroom.
Vanessa: You’ve since adopted Lightroom into your workflow more. How did that change?
Dave: Earlier this year I was at WPPI in Las Vegas. Since I’m known as a Lightroom guy, other attendees kept asking me if I knew about the Lightroom Retouching Kit. There was quite a buzz going on so I figured I better check it out. I searched them out and found their booth, got a nice little demo on it, and I bought it. It seemed pretty cool and it looked like it would fill a need for many photographers that needed to do some basic retouching but are just too intimidated by Photoshop, and it is reasonably priced.
Dave: The Lightroom Retouching Toolkit (LRT) is a set of 48 Lightroom brushes that work with the Adjustment Brush. They are available in the drop down for not only the Adjustment Brush but for the Graduated and Radial filters as well. The later will allow you to create some cool effects like sun flare.
When you look at the drop down you will find the presets are appropriately labeled and easy to figure out what they do. They start with a couple of general adjustments for Brighten/Darken functions and then into the cornerstone of this kit, the Beauty Brushes. For the most part, I have stayed with the standard Beauty Brush. If I need more I simply click New and brush again. If it’s too much, you can either tweak individual settings or collapse the adjustments with the arrow and you can lower the overall adjustment, almost like Layer Opacity in Photoshop.
Vanessa: Now that Lightroom 5 and the Lightroom Retouching Toolkit help you in your workflow, how much time do you save not using Photoshop as frequently?
Dave: Just the fact that I can stay in Lightroom and not have to make that trip into Photoshop saves me tons of time. Even for images that I will need to do retouching in Photoshop, I can do some preliminary work in Lightroom first so that they will be good enough to send to clients for their selection process, and then only further retouch the selected images. Not having to do major retouching on every image is a huge time saver. It is also saving hard drive space as the images do not have to be exported to a TIFF or PSD file to go to Photoshop and back. Adding the Lightroom Retouching Toolkit doesn’t break the bank and will save you more than that in time savings.
Vanessa: Do you think professional photographers will start to use Photoshop less as Lightroom becomes more powerful and easy-to-use presets and brushes like these become more readily available?
Dave: Absolutely. The changes and upgrades Adobe has been making in Lightroom specifically are really moving towards a total solution for photographers. Especially for portrait and wedding photographers that typically do not need to advanced features of Photoshop. Combining quality presets and brushes along with the continuous upgrade you get with Lightroom on the Creative Cloud, and you will soon have a one-stop solution for post-production.
Vanessa: What advice can you give new and seasoned photographers in regards to how much time they should spend learning Photoshop vs. learning Lightroom?
Dave: While it never hurts to be educated in multiple tools to run your business, I think that any photographer should invest the time in learning Lightroom. Its key features of file management are critical to understand and will avoid file loss. Proper file management and backups are some of the key features I teach in my Lightroom training.
Dave is a Los Angeles based photographer and instructor who you can learn from at WPPI in March 2015 in Las Vegas. Until then, for more of his Adobe Lightroom Certified expertise, check out his Lightroom training website.
Outsourcing editing? Is that really common practice? I cant imagine not editing my own work. I wouldnt feel comfortable putting my name on it.
It is semi common. It depends a lot on how much you shoot what you shoot and how reliant you are on post processing. If you are a wedding shoot who believes in delivering a large quantity of images with lots of post it makes sense.
If you are doing same day turn and burn for editorial use of for clients that need images fast no. It also it depends on style. I am old school, I started with film so I tend to be more focused on capture than post. But most my clients have their own graphic artist and art directors so they want very little post.
So as always it depends on what you shoot, your style and client's need.
Also a long time ago I had a college professor warn us that the more you are in the darkroom the less you are shooting and the less you are promoting yourself. I think this more true now with post processing.
I shoot about 20 weddings a year among other things. I could never outsource. The post processing is 50% of the image. To me it's cheating.
Not to sound like a jerk, but is this an ad?
As I mentioned in the interview, this was software I purchased at WPPI this year. Not an ad. :) This is a great tool for photographers that don't need pixel level editing on their images and can get away with some basic retouching.
Interesting how the Author of this article is also the first name listed on the company's website endorsements, on their home page.
photoshop is not dead. the reason that new guys use it more is because when we started all we had was photoshop. they started with lightroom. both are powerful programs and each has it's place. I've used photoshop almost since day one so it's kinda tough to dump it at this point. i'm comfortable with it and just can't stop it now.
Photoshop will never be replaced by Lightroom. I use it extensively in my Pinup work. But for basic portraiture this set of brushes works really well and will save many photographers lots of time.
I'm still looking for Frequency Separation in Lightroom :D... Common guys ... PS is at its beginning !
Lr, as a tool, is best for the small sized edits— computer monitors, small prints, albums, etc.— and for universal and general adjustments, but you really won't be able to get away with large displays without the more powerful, pixel by pixel work you do in Photoshop.
Also, for larger more complicated edits, Lr does not have the organization capabilities of Ps layers. I mean, the Lr toolkit is nice, but try figuring out which one of those brushes affected what when you have to go back and adjust it.
What I think will eventually happen (and has happened to some degree) is that Adobe will begin to develop Ps type capabilities for Lr and it will become an unwieldy, problematic program with an identity crisis (much like MS Office).
I agree for the most part. I do use LR...a lot. It is great for keeping track of photos and global adjustments. I don't really get into the brushes though nor do I do any skin work there. Most of the heavy lifting is done in PS. I don't really have too much of a problem using the two together.
" Lr does not have the organization capabilities of Ps layers. I mean, the Lr toolkit is nice, but try figuring out which one of those brushes affected what when you have to go back and adjust it."
I just use Snapshots, it's fast and you can name them anything you want. Then you know where you adjusted which whatever.
Snapshots are great, and I use them too, but they are too general for fine tuning. When you want to make one minor adjustment to something you've already done, finding what is making that change is a problem in Lightroom.
With PS, if I have adjusted the brightness of the eyes, the clarity of eyes, the color of the eyes, and enhanced the eye make-up, all I have to do is find the appropriately labeled layer to change what I have done. In LR, localized adjustments are made with brushes which aren't labeled. Figuring it out is a matter of trial and error. I don't have time for that.
My personal feeling about Photoshop's intimidation factor is a lot like learning to work with strobe. It is scary at first but once you get past that benefits out way fear. Also I have to wonder if Lightroom is getting at a tipping point also. The more photoshop features you add to Lightroom then greater learning curb.
At some point it will be as intimidating as photoshop. In someways it reminds me of Microsoft's Word which is extremely blotted with lots of features that it made simple text editing a pain.
Your first two sentence say it all to me. I couldn't agree more. I put off learning PS for YEARS because I didn't understand it, was intimidated by it, etc. I buckled down several years back and really used all the free tutorials out there(and some I paid for too) to pick apart most of uses/tools. I feel with PS you are never really an expert but it no longer intimidates me at all.
I should have done that years ago.
Microsoft office suite is exactly the parallel I draw.
Microsoft originally started by trying to make each program complimentary, but separate. Then they started adding the functionality and features from one program to another. Now, each piece of software is overly complicated with several dynamic menu layers to try to keep it organized.
This is the way I see Adobe moving. I was really beginning to think this once they added video editing to PS and now to LR. Not every program should be all things to all people.
I think most people are using LR more is because not only do they not understand Photoshop, but LR gives them enough post processing to get the bulk of their work done. This is especially so if you're working in controlled, or at least semi-controlled, lighting and shooting environments where you can optimize your exposures and compositions. If your shot is good out of the box you're not going to need much to finish it off, unless you're going for a complex multi-element photocomposite. Both Adobe and Phase One are picking up on this trend, which is why you're seeing more editing capability in these apps.
I agree with the rest of your post but I actually think the opposite of your first sentence. Photoshop as a concept seems to me to be very easy to grasp whereas the whole asset management system in LR can seem quite intimidating even though that is it's greatest strength and that IMO is why people use it.
I think that is where most new Lightroom users really get into trouble as well. They don't understand the basics of how Lightroom manages files. That is Lightroom's greatest feature over apps like Bridge. The File Management is just incredible. But when people move over from other software that actually encapsulates their images inside a library container, they get quite confused. The ability to then apply global and local adjustments in Develop is an added bonus.
Good point, I've been using Photoshop for nearly 20 years now, remember when layers arrived in version 3 (I think), that was revolutionary!
I know PS reasonably well but I certainly know it well enough to know that it goes a lot deeper than the basic way I use it!
That's a mighty big logo image you got in the article footer there.
In all honesty, Lightroom is still pretty bare when it comes to retouching and local adjustments. Yeah, you can use the adjustment brush, which is super helpful, but LR doesn't offer a lot of precision even in that tool. It's much more about global editing and cataloging.
I use both, and I love both.
It's definitely not for everyone and not designed for major retouching work, but for general work, these brush presets are designed well and save time.
I'm surprised to learn among my colleagues how many are not using lightroom and are solely working in adobe camera raw/bridge and photoshop. It took me a little time to get acclimated to lightroom workflow, but it's the number 1 thing any photographer can do to point themselves in the right direction with faster and more efficient process. I also appreciate it's integration with Photoshop and being able to edit in PS and have it sync with my photo in my lightroom catalog is essential to helping me polish off edits that need that extra finessing.
It is not as surprising as may think. I do not use Lightroom because it has major issues with our company Macs. We have multiple computers accessing images on a network server. Lightroom because of it library functions does work with this set up. So for us Adobe Bridge with Camera RAW editor.
When I was a guest on a podcast with Adobe's Tom Hogarty we discussed this. Adobe is aware of this issue and has numerous enquiries on this but has yet to resolve it.
Also AP and some newspapers have policies that only JPEG can be shoot so bridge is popular way to skim through images and write captions.
Lightroom is definitely not the single solution for every photographer out there. I run Lightroom on multiple Mac's without issue. It is definitely not designed as a network sharing application for sure. I would not really call this an issue as it is just not designed that way. It can definitely index images that are stored on a network share, but the catalog itself is not designed to be shared. I would think there are far more photographers working solo then there are teams that would need to share this way. I know for photojournalists, PhotoMechanic is the industry standard for culling and getting images out quickly. Lightroom cannot compete with that.
I am not saying don't use Lightroom, in fact I beta tested back in Aldus days. It is a useful tool but I am bummed that it does not work in a company environment in which we have photographers, paginators, web designers, graphic artists and video editors sharing files.
Also to be fair Aperture has the same issues, and Adobe is aware of it. I would be happy if I just had the basic RAW editing controls without the Library functions. Well Adobe Bridge does a decent and is my second choice.

If you’re a beginner sewer, you might feel like you have a lot to learn before you can start sewing beautiful garments like the ones you see in the Craftsy Sewing Projects Gallery. And while sewing is definitely a skill you perfect over time (with practice and a lot of patience), becoming familiar with these top five techniques for beginning sewists to learn will give you the confidence to start tackling garment sewing.
Knowing how to cut out and prepare your fabric and pattern is the beginning of a successful sewing project. Accuracy and attention to detail does make a difference in sewing! Even small mistakes can lead to a lot of frustration down the road when you are constructing your garment. Learn pattern cutting tips to help you start off on the right foot (and if you are sewing with a digital pattern, here are some tips for printing sewing patterns at home).
Most garment patterns will include marks of some kind, which will indicate things like pocket, zipper or buttonhole placement, or notches to ensure that separate pieces are aligned correctly when being sewn together. Much like cutting a pattern, transferring these marks accurately is very important.
How you choose to transfer marks is partly a personal preference and partly decided on the type of fabric you are using (you will always want to double-check that you can remove the mark from the fabric if it will show on the right side of the garment after construction). Notches can transferred by making a small clip in the seam allowance, or with a line of tailor’s chalk. For other marks, a tracing wheel and carbon paper might do the trick on light colored fabric. Chalk is always an option, as well.
Many garments involve one or more closures to help them fit and function. Buttons are one closure option. Sewing button holes can seem daunting at first, but most modern sewing machines have an automatic buttonhole attachment that makes the process quite simple.
Just like with pattern cutting, a little attention to detail will save endless frustration. Taking the time to make sure the placement of your buttonholes are all lined up correctly will ensure you are pleased with the end result.
Read our blog post on how to sew buttonholes to learn more.
Another closure, another potentially scary technique! Zippers aren’t so bad, but they do require a bit of practice before you feel truly comfortable sewing them in. Lucky for you, Craftsy has a FREE mini-class called Mastering Zipper Techniques. This class will have you installing zippers like a pro in no time. Once you’ve got zippers under control, you might want to try out an easy technique for covering the zipper end.
Darts are commonly used in design to provide shaping to a garment, particularly in the bust area. Learn how to mark, sew and press the perfect dart. Pleats are also used on garments to provide shape or texture. In my opinion, it’s easier to sew a crisp pleat than it is to sew a perfect dart, so don’t let this technique trip you up! Learn how to sew a pleat.
Topstitching is any stitching that is sewn on top of the garment. It’s typically decorative as well as functional. Topstitching can be intimidating to new sewists because it means the stitching will show on the right side of the garment, which makes it very difficult to hide any less-than-perfect or slightly crooked stitching. Take a deep breath, though, because this is an easy hurdle to clear.
First, use thread that matches your fabric well. Thread that’s a close match will blend into the fabric better and small mistakes will be much less noticeable. Second, practice. A lot. Preferably using scraps of your actual fabric if it’s challenging to work with (like anything slightly slippery or particularly thick). Sew slowly and take your time. Learn some tips for sewing the perfect topstitch, and remember, there’s a reason the seam ripper was invented.
If you’re looking to master more sewing techniques, check out 40 Techniques Every Sewer Should Know with Gail Yellen.
Which sewing techniques trip you up?
I had never considered topstitching as something people need to learn before! I guess I always just figured it was pretty much common sense. But the suggestions you make are great and gives me ideas for my sewing classes. Thanks!
Good article. I think the most important thing with all these techniques is practice. I always make sure I have some nice size scraps of the fabric I’m working with to practice. One tip I have that has really helped me is to use a stabilizer behind buttonholes. They come out so much better. I use a tear away stabilizer.
Lots of tinx still baffles me.

Juan David Ortiz, an intel supervisor for the Border Patrol, fled from state troopers and was found hiding in a truck in a hotel parking lot in Laredo at around 2 a.m. Saturday, Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar said at a news conference in the border city about 145 miles (235 kilometers) southwest of San Antonio.
Cuellar said investigators have “very strong evidence” that he is responsible for the deaths of the four women, who are believed to worked as prostitutes.
In a statement, Andrew Meehan, assistant commissioner for public affairs for US Customs and Border Protection, said his agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility, the US Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General are fully cooperating with all investigators.
A Texas Department of Public Safety sergeant didn’t return several messages seeking comment on Saturday. Authorities didn’t immediately disclose the victims’ names or nationalities. “The manner in which they were killed is similar in all the cases from the evidence,” said Alaniz. But both Alaniz and Cuellar declined to discuss the evidence or say how the women were killed. Alaniz said investigators are still trying to determine a motive for the killings. He said all of the women worked as prostitutes.
Cuellar said investigators believe Ortiz acted alone. Alaniz said his office plans to charge Ortiz with four counts of murder and one count of aggravated kidnapping.

Hi! So I was accepted to UCSF and UCSD and have basically until next week to make my decision (after which I am out of town until the deadline). I was wondering if anyone else has been through this situation before, and if so, why you chose the school you did. I love both schools, I love both cities. This is the best worst problem to have. Thanks!
I would definitely recommend that you take UCSF into consideration as your priority school. UCSF is very diverse and getting into this school is a challenge in itself. Congratulations for making it through the admissions. There are many reasons for choosing UCSF regardless of the location or the city. UCSF has a variety of opportunities available for Pharmacy students. The exposure and the experience you can gain at UCSF, will not be found anywhere else. The most important aspect of their pharmacy program are the 3 tracks that will lead you in practicing the profession in a much better way. Additionally, it is the top school for pharmacy which says it all, can't go wrong in choosing UCSF.
He made a new account because he's on the UCSD waitlist and wants you to turn down your UCSD offer Thus his first and only post.
I'm sure you will be fine either way if you enjoy both schools and their respective cities. SF is completely different from La Jolla.
Hello, first congrats on your acceptances to two awesome schools. I wish I was in your shoes heh.
I honestly don't think you can go wrong either way, but since UCSF has been around so long with such awesome reputation, I personally would lean in that direction. UCSD is a very new program and has been until recently understaffed in its pharmacy staff. I actually go to UCSD for undergrad and I absolutely love it here, but again I personally would lean towards attending UCSF.

On 1 February 2018 there was short-lived but very powerful eruption from the volcano Fuego in Guatemala.
The largest eruption on the morning of 1 February was followed by a series of small eruptions during the day. The first eruption was reported to have sent ash at least 6 km into the air and was one of the largest in the volcano's history.
A sequence of Ash RGBs from the ABI instrument on GOES-16 shows its evolution during the hours following the first intense blast at about 08:00 UTC. The bright pink ash plume showed quite a complex behaviour under the influence of winds shearing in altitude and time.
After the release of the main plume that, according to CIMSS Satellite Blog, reached up to at least 6 km Fuego continued to send a weaker streak (dark blue to magenta on the imagery) in western and south-western directions. In the same time interval a couple of dark-coloured contrails passed over Fuego.
Note: NOAA's GOES-16/E satellite has not been declared operational and its data are preliminary and undergoing testing.

My memories of Thanksgiving as a child are some of my most precious. Our (not so large) extended family would gather at my Great Aunt’s house for food (including tons of desserts…my grandfather and his brother owned a few bakeries!) laughter and love.
We would play touch football with our cousins and then come inside to watch more football followed by The Wizard of Oz. My sisters and I never wanted to leave at the end of the night.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it doesn’t involve gifts, just togetherness. It is certainly a time to reflect on all of the blessings in our lives. There is nothing better than to hear the perspective of children, so this year, I thought it would be fun to question my boys and my nieces and nephews about what they are grateful for.

Progressing well mate, stick at it no need to change anything yet.
Is your Mrs still training with you? How's she getting on?
Rachel hasn't lifting since the last post about her lifts. It will likely take more coaxing from me to get her motivated. I am in a much better place mentally and work is going good so I can focus on my own workouts and hers properly now.
Was knackered at the end as it was a late one. Need to shift days around so I start earlier.
Going to look at doing some stomach exercises to strengthen that area and hopefully improve my posture and large belly. My belly isnt huge, just gets accentuated by my posture. If I yuck it in properly then I like my front and side ptigilr. Going this though I can tell my stomach muscles are weak.
99% of this game is diet mate. If you don't have enough fuel in your system you will only get so far. This includes protein.
Lifting appears to be going well but.
And FYI frankies is not stronglifts. similar styles, not the same. I prefer stronglifts as the site goes into greater detail.
Diet is relatively sorted at the moment, not eating any junk whatsoever, also dont drink alcohol at all and any excess fuel required is coming from the diet whey protein I have (105g of protein a day from the whey).
Was feeling burnt out mentally and physically so mixed my lifts up for 2 weeks and switched to a 3x8 with the same exercises and just a little less than my 5x5 weights.
Back on the 5x5 last night and it was the best I have felt for a while.
Bench Press felt strong and solid and is encouraging, also the shoulder press.
ending all lifts with a 6 rep set and could have lifted a bit more weight. really struggling to complete the sets a few weeks ago.
Back from camping in Newgale and didn't get much sleep at all.
Bench press felt strong last week so added 4kg making it 70kg and was happy completing the 5 sets.
Bench press is now only 4kg off my previous best from years ago. Just need some consistency now with my workouts.
Have been feeling more positive and confident recently. Workouts are going well.
Bench press is taking a lot out of me and makes the rest of the session extremely difficult. Would be great to hit 74kg and then have a good workout on the other exercises.
Still not overloading calories but trying to keep protein intake up.

Our company specializes in the production of PVC heat shrinkable film, as well as extrusion line for blown-film. Specially, engineers in our company have rich experience in the production of the above products. They had successfully developed PVC heat shrinkable “battery” sleeve products in 1979, which won the fourth Scientific Research Prize of China Packaging Import Corporation in 1980. In 1982, they successfully developed PVC heat shrinkable film products, while in June of the same year, it won the fourth Science and Technology Prize of Foreign Economic and Trade Department of People’s Republic of China, and they were awarded personal certificate of honor. In 1984, they also developed PE shrink film and other products. Our company has thirty years’ experiences in heat shrinkable products.
After the reform and opening up of China, our company established Shanghai Dasen Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. and continues to research and develop heat shrinkable products. PVC heat shrinkable film blowing equipment (flatly blowing unit, upward blowing unit) has been designed and manufactured by our company independently, and in recent years. That equipment has been continuously upgraded and put into production then. Now the equipment has been exported to Southeast Asia, and other areas.
In 2003, the company developed PVC Heat Shrinkable Film Blowing Unit (Pring-grade) Shanghai City Enterprise Standards which has been filed in the Songjiang Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision for Quality Supervision.
The pring-grade PVC heat shrinkable film blowing unit is equipped with two groups of independent lifting traction device, located before and after the unit, that could ensure width of the bubble film more adjustable, as well as the cooling bubble film and also could make the film more suitable for container shipment.
In 2009, our new designed and developed product, PVC heat shrinkable film rotated blowing machine, became an upgrading film unit, with advanced machine technical indicators, high precision, reasonable layout, novel structure and easy operation under international standards. It is the perfect equipment used to blowing PVC contraction printing film equipment. It can make the thickness of product more uniform and the surface of product smoother. What’s more, it can ensure that there is no wrinkle on the film and it has the advantages of high yield. It also greatly improves the speed of printing, which can reach 260-280 M/min.
In 2012, the company was re-established and re-registered in Shanghai Beiyang Plastic Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. We always adhere to the sustainable development of quality first, energy saving and emission reduction, automation and technicalization. We are looking forwards to aspiring talents joining into our big warm family.

The development of the mobile apps for any server side web application is becoming very conventional these days. Many of our clients want us to develop mobile apps that integrate with their SocialEngine. This blog explains the integration between mobile app and SocialEngine using a simple example of authentication. We decided to use the SocialEngine basic module structure with the Restful and JSON architecture.
STEP 1: We first started with design of the simple login call that would later be called by the mobile app.
STEP 2: In Socialengine website, we created a new module and installed the module in our socialengine website. We created a new controller and use Zend_Rest_Controller class as the base class.
STEP 3:For the definition of the userLogin function ,we created new core class as Auth.php.
STEP 4:The definition of the user authenticate function called in the userLogin function.
STEP 5: In iOS app,We simply assigned the parameter username and password of POST login call.
This blog is going to help you in the implementation of a mobile app with SocialEngine. To reduce your work, we have already created a full version of the above API in the Socialengine API Plugin, which comes with a range of functions. If you install it, you just have to develop the mobile app and you don’t have to write any code for SocialEngine.
