Alternatives to the Creative Cloud 1
I recently read that Adobe is withdrawing the traditional full purchase option from Lightroom and Photoshop and that only the CC versions would be available. This means you would need to pay a monthly subscription rather than make a one-off payment for a version of the software. Checking the Adobe site just now I can see that only Lightroom and Elements are available as a "traditional" purchase option.
Whilst I subscribe to Creative Cloud and am very happy to do so, I know a lot of people don't like the subscription model. Given this, it's my intention to share some alternatives over the coming weeks that you might want to consider if you don't want to go down the Adobe CC route.
To set some expectations though, I won't be covering every alternative and I won't be looking at lots of alternatives in a single blog post. Instead I will be posting from time to time as new ideas come to light. I also won't be doing a comprehensive review of software, I will leave you to do that with the trial versions that most software companies offer.
In this first blog post I would like to consider just what Creative Cloud provides from the photographer's perspective. You to determine how important each aspect is to you, as everyone will be different.
Asset Management
This is the ability to tag and sort images as well as perform searches using a variety of criteria. Typically, you would need to be able to search quickly on variables across potentially hundreds of thousands of images to identify the one(s) you want.
This is provided by Lightroom and to some degree Bridge.
RAW Conversion
If you shoot in RAW format, as many photographers do, you will need to convert or develop the RAW file into an image format. This will typically involve applying adjustments to the images as part of the conversion process.
This is provided by Lightroom or in Photoshop through Camera RAW.
Image Adjustment
The ability to enhance or adjust an image. Adjustments may be as simple as changes to colour or tone. In some circumstances, we may need to make more complex changes such as remove an object or change its size, shape or the perspective of the image.
Lightroom provides a level of adjustment capability but in some respects, this can be quite limited. Photoshop is much more flexible and powerful.
Print Output
Creating prints from your images and the ability to go through a Soft Proofing process is in both Lightroom and Photoshop.
Other aspects of CC that might be important to you are things such as are they supported for Mac and Windows. Do you need support for 16 bit editing or even 32 bit editing? Is there full colour management support so you can select a colour space within which to work? Do you need to work in CMYK, RGB or even LAB? How important is overall workflow to you? Some people hate switching between applications and need a level of integration.
If you're thinking of a move from CC or even just buying more software, I would strongly recommend working on a few images and making notes of the aspects and features you use. You might not realise these are important to you until they are gone.
Next time I will look at one or two possible alternatives to CC.

Hello Robin – What a thoughtful offer that I know will benefit many of us, like myself that don't subscribe to the Adobe subscription service, but rather try to limp along with older versions of LR or PS. I personally have LR6.6 & CS5, which gives me most of what I need in terms of both asset management, editing & printing. But every now & then I see a feature in the cloud service that would be nice to have, like the perspective adjustments available for use in architectural photography. So I will look forward to what you have to offer! Cheers,
All things considered I should prefer to buy, rather than rent, my software. But I do think it's extremely important to put the cost of the Adobe CC subscription (around £10 per month) into context.
Just browsing this one page, Robin, it appears that you have a Fuji XT2. A quick bit of research (www.camerapricebuster.co.uk) suggests that this costs around £1,400 (or £1,600 with a lens). You also have a Fuji 55-200 lens (£500) and a Sony RX10 (current model £1,400). Added to that a MacBook Pro (minimum £1,000) and a desktop Mac (minimum £1,000).
You do realise that the cost of that equipment is about the same as 45 years (yes, forty-five years!) of Adobe CC subscription?
My personal gripe is that I use Photoshop very little, so would prefer a Lightroom-only subscription at a lower price.
Hello Robin, I read with interest your latest comments about the future lack of availability of Lightroom as a stand alone one off purchase. I have purchased LR since v2 and now have v6.
Could I recommend as an alternative the latest version of ON 1 Photo RAW 2017.
It includes layers and it's cloning facility is much better than Lightroom's. This photo editing software is well worth exploring.
I enjoy your regular reports immensely. Thank you.
My primary concern with the rental model is cost of ownership is that it doesn't reflect the potential true cost of being locked into a specific software / hardware / OS infrastructure.
One of the selling points of CC is continual additional functionality, but that in turn will inevitably place greater demand on processing power, which in turn could require a computer upgrade.
If you're running MS Windows, Intel and AMD's latest family of processors will only run Win10 which has difficulty with certain legacy peripherals including tablets, graphic cards and storage etc. – a potential additional cost.
So all in all it's not just £10/month (subject to Adobe not raising the price or introducing 'up-sell' bolt-ons) but Win10 doesn't have a clearly articulated future – will Win10 eventually go subscription or will adverts become even more intrusive with the result that the User becomes the product ?
I am not altogether happy with the way Adobe has gone with the monthly subscription. I have had Photoshop since CS and Lightroom since I think version 3 all paid for and registered. I would much rather pay for something out right it is mine then. My subscription was due to renewal in February this year, I notified Adobe the end of last year that I would not be renewing my subscription, and within a couple of days they stopped me using Photoshop and Lightroom, I was very upset as to Adobe doing this, I had to renew my subscription again to get my programs back.
[…] little while back I published a post concerning alternatives to the Adobe Creative Cloud. Whilst many people love using Lightroom and Photoshop (myself included) some don't like the […]

That looks so much better than watchmen! I would totally watch that movie XD if only it existed. good job with the faces they were well placed on the head of the character. :D
Cool animation but the main reason i gave it 15/15 was muse :P

On average, listings lease in the $0's per square foot per year. The East Ybor region is seeing a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $29 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decline in rent.
In the last 90 days, 3 listings have been posted online, which means listings are probably going fast. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most buildings in this area are close to 1 stories. Most buildings in this region were built in 1915 and are Class Class D.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Waste services is the dominant industry in this area. Most of the folk of East Ybor work from home. Commuting around an hour a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Hermanus by night
We spent last weekend in Hermanus – a seaside town our family love to escape to as often as possible. It's also the place we got married, and a town known for it's incredible whale sightings.
I rented a Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM lens and enjoyed spending a few hours one evening trying to capture the coastline and starry skies. Hermanus is often misty and there was a lot of cloud cover for the most part of the weekend. Night skies are a challenging subject matter and I still have a lot to learn, but I'm enjoying the process and eerie outings. Continue reading Hermanus by night

Re: Sampson and Lydia Brewer Williams
Ronnie Smith 2/14/02
Hello Ronnie,
Just looked up what I have on Sampson and Lydia Brewer Williams. Sampson Williams was married twice. His first wife was Lydia Brewer with which he hadsix children. One of which was a daughter named Lydia who later married John D. Winkler my great-great grandfather. Sampson's second wife was Orlena Brewer with which he had eight children.Lydia was the daughter of Frederick and Lydia Brewer and Orlena was the daughter fo Samuel Russell and Mary McCully Cloud Brewer. One of Sampson's sons James married Confort Cloud. Sampson was a farmer and a lawyer.If you ever run upon a copy of Goodspeed's History of Tennessee (Thirty East Tennessee Counties) You will find a long Paragraph on Sampson Williams. His father Moses Williams was a soldier in the War of 1812. He went to Ark.
His wife was Nancy Wilder. I am a member of the UnitedStates Daughters of 1812 on Moses' service. Do you have a copy of Hancock County and Its People? Hope this help
Thank you for your reply. ---Lynda Logan

to ceramic tiles, this eco-friendly natural material feast for many years, is necessary to properly carry out the installation of ceramic tiles, with all the technological features.
First of all, you need to competently make a truss system.Since when using a ceramic tile on the rafter load will be higher than when using a metal roof, the step should be 60-90 cm (with a standard tool bar 150 x 50 mm).The exact figure is determined by the snow load and length of the slope.
As a rule, a single layer of waterproofing for tiled roof is sufficient, but with a slope of 20 ° and below need to stack two layers.For auxiliary waterproofing can use modern roll materials that are well protect from atmospheric moisture roof space.
With a large roof pitch (50 °) tiles must be attached to the sheathing screws or specially designed clamps.
natural ceramic tiles can be used for roofing any complexity.Thus it is necessary to take into account that the more intricate designed roof, the greater the need to be additio
most popular forms of two tiles "beaver tail" and flat grooving (lock).Slot tile cling both crate and for adjacent tiles, thanks to the grooves.The roof of ceramic tiles of this type are well withstand temperature variations, shrinkage of the building, as the slots allow the displacement of tiles to several millimeters.Tiles "beaver tail" created so that when installing tile overlaps the junction of two adjacent elements of the bottom row.These tiles are more convenient to handle, since they do not lock, so they are used on roofs with complex geometry.
During installation you need to move from the bottom up, fixing the tiles from left to right.By furring tiles fastened with staples, wire, capping or nails.In addition, it is necessary to fix the lower, upper and side screws through the ranks.
to uniformly disperse the load on the rafters, installation of ceramic tile is better to make both ramps simultaneously.Tiles better to spread out in small piles on all slopes, which would make a uniform load on the rafters.To have mounted as not to damage the roof, roofers better move on crate, moving the tiles in the right places (and closing the pushing).
From how well will be installed ceramic tile, depends largely on how long it will last.Needless to say that such an important matter is best left to the professionals.

In 1968 Bunny Lee became one of the first Jamaican music figures to fly to London, at the invitation of Island Records boss Chris Blackwell, who was licensing his hits for an appreciative young British audience.
It's just as well that Bunny, or "Striker", or "The Gorgon", is still going strong. At 73, he is a living musical archive, the most influential of all Jamaica's music producers. His work spans the gamut of genres from calypso to dancehall. And between producing records, he has fathered 35 children.
One of six children of a shoemaker in the deprived Greenwich Farm district of Kingston, Lee shared a bed with two brothers and sometimes walked to school in bare feet. But his irrepressible self-belief meant he was bound to get noticed, and he forced his way into the music business as a radio plugger for Jamaica's biggest record producers of the Sixties, Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid.
The latter was sufficiently impressed to allow Lee recording time at his famous Treasure Isle studios and his career as a producer began. That was nearly 50 years ago. Since then, he has witnessed the introduction of the slowed-down rocksteady rhythm that replaced ska in the late-Sixties, the invention of the famous "one drop" drum beat that characterised the golden era of reggae, and the advent of the sonic phantasmagoria that was dub, sitting alongside the brilliant engineer King Tubby.
His achievements have finally been logged in a British-made film, I Am the Gorgon – Bunny 'Striker' Lee and the Roots of Reggae, lovingly compiled over more than five years by Frank (Jah Floyd) Malone and director Diggory Kenrick. It documents how Lee was present at every important stage of the Jamaican music story, and how his creative and entrepreneurial talents were pivotal to the scene's evolution and reinvention.
The physical symbols of Jamaica's musical golden age are being eroded half a century after the Caribbean island began giving the world brand new beats to dance to, from ska and rocksteady to reggae and dub. Orange Street in Kingston, Jamaica, once an international musical beacon, is a rundown relic of its former glories. The famous Channel One studios are a crumbling ruin, and even the treasure trove of the legendary producer's archive of unreleased taped recordings is threatened by termites.
Today Bunny spends part of the year in the UK. He recalls the little-known stalwarts of the early British reggae world. People like Rita and Bennie Isen (aka King), a Jewish couple in London's Stamford Hill whose shop, R&B Records, was of critical importance. "If they weren't buying your records you [would have to] come out of the business because Rita used to call the shots."
A breakthrough came with Max Romeo's "Wet Dream", a hit based on a bawdy conversation Lee had overheard. It made Lee's name as it occupied the UK charts for 26 weeks in 1969, partly thanks to being banned by the BBC.
Reggae's own colourful language is peppered with expressions coined by Lee, an instinctive marketing man. In Jamaica he is credited with bringing home the very term "reggae" after one of his trips to England. He came up with the "John Crow Skank" dance to accompany songs such as Delroy Wilson's "Better Must Come", which the People's National Party (PNP) in Jamaica adopted as its election anthem in 1971.
He created the "flying cymbal", or "flyers", the stripped-down crash of a high hat, first played by drummer Carlton "Santa" Davis on Johnny Clarke's 1974 hit "None Shall Escape the Judgement". "Flyers", one of reggae's most distinctive sounds, was inspired by Lee's love of fried chicken wings. The famous one-drop snare drum stroke made famous by Bob Marley's 1979 cry "Feel it in the one drop" was invented much earlier, claims Bunny. It exists on Bunny's late-Sixties hit for Max Romeo, "People Get Ready".
Bunny Lee is a survivor in a field where so many of his musical peers have died young, from his singing protégé Slim Smith (who severed an artery and bled to death aged 25) to the gentle Tubby (murdered by a gunman in 1989). His association with the PNP in 1971 led to a drive-by attempt on his life. But he is a popular figure and his status was officially recognised in 2008 when Jamaica awarded him its Order of Distinction.
He is conscious of his legacy and that of the musical forms he helped to create. "You have dubstep and garage and most of it they mix with the Jamaican sound, drum and dub and all them things. Reggae is like the root of everything." He is painfully aware of the decline of Jamaica's music infrastructure – "you can't get a 45 record pressed at this moment" – but is not one to live in the past.
"Every spoil is a style" has always been his motto, a very Silicon Valley notion of benefiting from one's mistakes. Lee still looks to the future for his next musical opportunity. "Lot's wife look back and turn a pillar of salt, y'know? Y'affe look ahead! Forward ever, backward never!"
Bunny Lee's career will be celebrated at London's Jazz Café on Wednesday (020 7485 6834). 'I Am the Gorgon' is released on DVD on 24 NovemberReuse content

Crafting for fun: making an encouraging banner
May 17, 2016
In:Project, Uncategorized
Last fall, after I published my Role Models post on Miranda July, my mom and I were talking about Miranda's project, Learning to Love you More, which was a list of assignments that people could complete and post to the website. Specifically, my mom brought up assignment #63: Make an encouraging banner and hinted that she would love if someone made one for her. I took the hint and scheduled it as a Mother's Day gift.
Deciding what the banner should say was pretty easy. I wrote down a few statements, but the one I kept coming back to is something that my mom and I talk about frequently: You know what to do. Sometimes we feel confused and think we don't know what direction to go next, but the truth is that deep down we really do know what to do. We just have to learn to trust that knowledge.
Next, I decided on a design for the banner. The official instructions for the Learning to Love You More banner tell you to make it out of construction paper but I wanted to do something a little nicer and a little more durable. I decided to cut each letter out individually and embellish with some fabric.
I have a ton of supplies crammed into my tiny craft room, so every time I start a project, I think about what I can use before I go out and buy anything new. I'd been given a bag of mat board scraps and thought that they would be perfect for the letters, since they're strong and will hold their shape.
To make a template, I printed out the phrase in Arial, one letter per page. I realized afterward that since a lot of the letters were duplicates I could have saved some ink by printing them once and re-using them. I could also have saved ink by setting the font to be an outline, rather than filled in. As you can see in the photo above, my printer ran out of ink partway through.
I cut out the templates and traced them on the mat board, then used a utility knife to cut them out. I had to go over the lines several times to make it all the way through the thick board. The rounded letters were more tricky and needed some cleanup as the board didn't cut evenly on the curved sections.
I was planning on just painting the letters but decided instead to use my signature collage style with some maps, music notation, and tissue paper. I used liquid acrylic medium and a sponge to attach some torn scraps to the letters. Then I scrubbed a thin wash of blue acrylic paint on them. I loved how the acrylic medium protected parts of the mat board and those areas stayed lighter while the bare board soaked up more paint and those areas were darker.
Next, I glued down some more pieces and went over them again with purple paint, making sure to make all the edges purple. They seemed a bit dark at that point so I went in one more time with the blue paint to brighten up certain areas.
I put the letters on a piece of foam from an ironing board and used an awl to punch holes in them. Each letter needed two holes so that they would sit flat. I strung some yarn (also something I had on hand) through each one, starting at the end of the phrase.
I put the yarn through the right role first so that it would sit along the back of the letter and come back out the left hole. Doing it like this meant that they were nice and flat and they stayed in place when the banner was hung, but it was still easy to move them around to get the spacing right.
I spaced them all out and added some strips of sparkly black fabric in between the words.
Then, I snuck into my mom's house (I'm glad I have a key!) and hung it so that it would be there when we went back to her place after our Mother's Day tea.
This was pretty simple and fun to make. Give it a try and let me know how it goes! Or, get in touch if you would like me to make one for you (hello(at)stephaniemedford.com). It can say anything you want—as long as it's not super long.
If you made or ordered an encouraging banner, what would it say? Leave a comment below!

Love this idea! I think mine would need to say "believe in yourself" because I so often don't. Thanks for sharing!

I love it! You make it look very easy and quick. 🙂 Did your mum love it? I love the idea too of making a banner saying what you most need to hear. 🙂

Thanks Tara! This was one of those rare projects that actually ended up being easier than I expected. My mom did love it, though she grumbled a bit about how now she has no more excuses, with these words staring her in the face 🙂

While perusing Pinterest I came across an interesting looking dinner idea… So of course I pinned it to my "Dinner Time" board and completely forgot about it, lol! I know we are all guilty of doing the same thing more often than not. Any who, last night I was at a complete loss about dinner, and then BAM I remembered that pin. So after finding it in my board I made sure I had enough items to make it. Continue reading

Trust Protection
Posted by fxckfeelings on July 19, 2016Share This Post
Because trust between people who know one another well usually depends on how well they treat one another (and their cars, pets, and fancy coffee makers) over time, we tend to assume that mistrust would not flare up in a close relationship without good reason. Unfortunately, some apparently normal people are sometimes prone to limited bursts of paranoia, so mistrust can also arise spontaneously for reasons that we don't understand. That's why it's important to develop objective methods for assessing the causes of mistrust, whether it's your own or others', and whether it's broken-espresso- machine-related or not.
-Dr. Lastname
I love my partner very much— he makes me very happy, and I feel very cherished. Despite that, however, I cannot trust him because there have been a few times that he has neglected to tell me very important things that affected us. He will keep me informed for a week or so, and then neglect it again. If I cannot trust him, can this relationship work? Can someone who behaves like this change? My goal is to figure out whether I can stay with someone I love, even if I can't take his word. WAIT! There is more to read… read on »

Scott Fujita retires as Saint while in Peru
Associated Press | Last updated April 22, 2013
From the mountaintops of Peru, Scott Fujita has retired. The Super Bowl-winning linebacker later enmeshed in the Saints bounty scandal signed a one-day contract with New Orleans and retired Monday. The Saints provided the document and Fujita signed it while on a trip with former teammate Scott Gleason, who is battling ALS. ''What better place to reach the end of the road than here at 10,000 feet above sea level, in the Peruvian Andes overlooking Machu Picchu with my dear friend Steve Gleason?'' Fujita said. The 33-year-old Fujita finished his career with the Cleveland Browns, but was implicated and even suspended for one game by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in what the league called a performance pool designed to knock targeted opponents out of games from 2009 to 2011. Fujita later was essentially absolved of blame by former commissioner Paul Tagliabue. He spent three seasons with Kansas City, one in Dallas, then four seasons with the Saints, winning the 2009 NFL championship. Fujita was the first player signed by New Orleans when Sean Payton became coach in 2006. ''He was a cornerstone of the foundation that we've built, and we won a world championship together,'' Payton said. ''It's been said that when you win a championship together, you walk together for the rest of your lives, and that's certainly appropriate to celebrate on a day like today.'' Fujita left for Cleveland as a free agent in 2010 and spent the last three seasons with the Browns. ''I've been fortunate to play in this league for a long time and for some great organizations, but there is no doubt that my times spent in New Orleans were some of the best years of my life,'' Fujita said in explaining why he retired as a Saint. ''The way the team and the community embraced us when we first arrived, and the way they continue to do so, even today, shows how deep this connection is.'' Fujita played in 143 regular-season games, making 917 tackles (617 solo) along with 23 1-2 sacks. He had 11 forced fumbles, seven interception returns for 65 yards, and three fumble recoveries. Fujita played in six postseason games, getting 36 tackles (26 solo) and one fumble recovery. A member of the NFL Players Association's executive committee, he was a leader for the players during the 2011 lockout.

Tried to drop my 87 year old mother off at the Community Clinic in Saskatoon at 9am only to find a large Coke truck blocking the loading zone. It was very busy with patients arriving and leaving having to go around this truck. The driver appeared and I suggested that was not an appropriate place to park. He started arguing with me saying he left a space for people. The space he left was very small and on uneven pavement. Very unprofessional.

Direct Request for Articles A rticle L icensing I nformation A vailability S ervice Mark Sullivan IDS Systems Administrator
Current IDS Availability Server The Good – Search all Project libraries from within ILLiad – Shows holdings information for each library – Has licensing information for each publisher – Is currently the only way to access this information – No member work to update the ejournal database
Current IDS Availability Server The Bad – A lot of work to maintain ejournal databases for each library (for me…) – A lot of work to update licenses – currently an annual process – No one is really happy with the solution – it's clunky
The Ugly – Staff time – staff needs to check 866 fields for each publisher's holdings and licensing information – Lender strings and workforms need to be generated manually (memorize 5 three letter symbols) – Adds steps to borrowing process instead of eliminating them – Do not use ejournal url that is in the Serials Solutions data Current IDS Availability Server
Borrowing and Lending Does the IDS Availability Server help with Borrowing? Does it help with Lending? What can we do to improve it?
These are the borrowing problems: Additional steps Need to memorize the OCLC codes of the libraries that have the journal and can loan it Need to build a work form manually instead of letting OCLC populate it automatically But… You are making it easier for the Lending library to fill the request quickly and with a perfect copy Speed and quality make you look good to your patrons.
Article Borrowing 25 hours on average before article requests were sent Total average time was 30 hours ALIAS would have reduced Total average time to 5 hours… 11 Article Requests 25 hours
Article Lending 46 hours on average for Lending turnaround Total average time was 50 hours How much time would using eJournals have saved? How much effort? 66 Article Requests 46 hours
188 Article Requests Libraries using current Availability Server Average turnaround is 14 hours Could be reduced another 4 hours with the new ALIAS for an average turnaround time of 10 hours or less.
Libraries using current Availability Server These are the lending problems: No url in ILLiad so staff needs to search for article PDF conversion adds a few steps. We need to be able to import pdf's directly into ILLiad. But, no need to… search the library's local journal database go to the stacks and search for the volume scan or photocopy – already have a perfect digital version
What to expect this year? ALIAS: Licensing Database ILLIAD Patron Request Query ISSN, date Library Codes for valid dates and licenses Article Direct Request – Automatic Process Awaiting Request Processing – Manual Process
Article Direct Request and Trusted Sender Patron Request Borrowing Library The borrowing library never touches the request… The lending library downloads from eJournal and sends through Odyssey. The staff never photocopies or goes to the stacks… The patron receives the requested article within a few hours… Lending Library
ALIAS Lending ALIAS: Licensing Database ILLIAD Library Request through OCLC Query ISSN, year, license URL for provider with proper license and holdings Double click URL and download article – No searching needed
Plans for the Future Work with Atlas to – add additional project-based load balancing – Add Lending version that would Include only one library's holdings and URL's automatically insert url into Call Number or Location field Work with OCLC and Serials Solutions to explore new discovery options Work with you to determine needs, evaluate the system requirements, etc.
Plans for the Future Determine : – if Z39.50 is the best choice or if another protocol or system would serve our needs better – If local ERM support is needed by IDS libraries Take ALIAS Open Source – Have a web based service (like Jake) that will allow other libraries to lookup and update the licensing information – Other libraries and consortia will gain the benefits of the ALIAS while helping to improve the system – Work to adapt ALIAS to the NISO Universal licensing format

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – It's a common occurrence for Marquise Williams to linger after football practice at Navy Fields, corralling wide receivers such as Mack Hollins, Quinshad Davis and Bug Howard to sneak in extra work on the most lethal of UNC's explosive plays: the deep ball.
Assistant head coach for offense Seth Littrell arrived in Chapel Hill 22 months ago with a penchant for vertical strikes, confirming his approach to InsideCarolina.com that spring in saying, "Yeah, I like to take shots."
There is structure in place. Quarterbacks coach Keith Heckendorf instructs his position group to never throw a ball over 45 yards. The preferred distance traveled is between 35-42 yards, which serves as a parameter for both quarterback and wide receivers.
Those are the types of throws Williams tries to perfect during his post-practice sessions. He has to hit on five consecutive throws to his targets. If one pass hits the ground, the imaginary scoreboard resets to zero and the process restarts.
Williams's performance against Duke – 23-of-35 passing, 494 passing yards, 4 TD - was the culmination of a career of refining the mechanics and mindset associated with his throwing motion.
"That display Saturday was as good as I've seen anywhere," UNC head coach Larry Fedora said on Monday. "If you looked at every one of those deep balls that he threw, I don't think anybody broke stride. I don't think anybody slowed down, I don't think anybody sped up. It was pretty phenomenal."
Williams connected on 5-of-6 throws of 20 yards or more against the Blue Devils after missing on 18 of his first 29 attempts from that distance in UNC's first eight games, according to ESPN.
The fifth-year senior quarterback, who will be playing in his final home game at Kenan Stadium on Saturday, detailed several reasons for his progression, including improved decision-making and better protection upfront. There's also the matter of his left hip, which required offseason surgery in February to repair a torn labrum.
Williams's accuracy on deep throws last season suffered due to a limited range of motion in rotating his body. The lack of mobility hurt his throwing velocity, which resulted in the 6-foot-2, 225-pounder quarterback "baby throwing" the ball.
"Last year was more about throwing the ball and not using my legs, just my arm," Williams said. "I look back at a lot of film like, 'geez, that looks so sloppy as a quarterback.' Now I can drive the football and use my hips to put more velocity on the football. There was good velocity on the ball on Saturday. It was fun just to have the time, and I've been having the time, in throwing the football and knowing that you can put something behind it."
The increased velocity has allowed Williams to put more air under the ball to give his wide receivers plenty of time to adjust in route (a good example is Hollins's TD catch at the 0:41 second mark here).
His ability to consistently connect on the deep ball against Duke resulted in 15 explosive plays, a total that surpasses any of Fedora's previous single-game offensive marks.

While originally designed to contour the neck, CoolSculpting's CoolMini applicator is excellent for treating smaller pockets of fat, and can certainly be used around your knees, specifically the inner knees. Effectiveness is of course situationally dependent, so please make sure you receive a consultation from your physician to ensure that you are a good candidate for the procedure. Note that the use of the CoolMini on this area is considered off-label, but we have seen promising results with many of our patients.

Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction for the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.
Coolsculpting has a specific hand piece that works very well for this area.

CoolSculpting the inner knees
CoolSculpting has FDA approval for fat reduction since 2010. CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells. Fat cells are more susceptible to damage by freezing than the other cells, (nerve, vessel, bone, etc.), around them. The fat cells die via a process called apoptosis, (programmed cell death). The number of fat cells are therefore reduced. This happens over a period of time, so the body is not overwhelmed with dead fat cells. The body will take these cells up, process them and excrete them, just as any other cell. The remnants are filtered through the liver, and then excreted eventually via stool. Knees can be a challenge with any modality. CoolSculpting has a specific applicator that has been used in this area with good results. We have had good experience with the skin snapping back. Each individual is different. See an experienced CoolSculpting practice, they will determine if you are a candidate. Moreover, would also consider seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, who can give advice on both CoolSculpting and Liposuction.

E28 On-Board Computer (OBC) Information
This is some general information for the On-Board Computer (OBC) in an '86 528e. It also seems to be appropriate for other mid-to-late 80's cars as well. All of this is covered in the owner's manual, with the exception of:
How to
calibrate the range display
Display the
OBC version
How to
replace the bulb
What to do if the
OBC display reads
I put this together to help answer questions that keep coming up on the
and the
. So, here is everything you ever wanted to know (well, almost).
Set the Time.
If the battery is disconnected or becomes drained, the OBC defaults back to factory settings, which is to display metric units and the time in 24-hour format. Once the battery is back on line, you'll want to reset the unit. To set the time, first be sure that the OBC is displaying the time (press the
button to alternate between displaying the time and the date). Then press the little recessed change-over contact button near the lower right corner of the display with something pointed, like a ball point pen. The display should change to a 4 digit display. You set the time in HH:MM format by pressing the numeric buttons on the bottom of the OBC marked 1000, 100, 10, and 1, ea
each of which corresponds to one of the four digits. For example, to set time to 11:32 you press the 1000
button once, the 100
button once, the 10
button three times, and the 1
button twice. If the unit is in metric (24-hour) mode, the first digit is either a 0, 1, or 2, and the display is labeled
("hour" in German, I suppose). If the unit has already been changed to 12-hour mode (i.e., US units - see below), as you repeatedly press the 1000
button the first digit will cycle between 0 and 1 AM and then 0 and 1 PM. When you're done setting the time, press the recessed button a second time with your ball point pen and the clock will start.
Set the Date.
To set the date, start by pressing the HR-DATE
button to display the date setting. The date format is MMDD if the unit is operating in US units, or DDMM if in metric. The procedure is similar to the method for setting the time. When you're finished, press the recessed button to store the date.
Metric versus US Units
To change the OBC operation from metric to US units, press theA VG MPG
button, and then the press the changeover contact button with your ball point pen. If you press the changeover button several times the display will cycle between
, and
. The L:00 setting is for liters per hundred kilometers, MPG is miles per US gallon, and M/G is miles per British imperial gallon. Since an imperial gallon is 20% larger than a US gallon (277.42 versus 231 cubic inches), the calculated gas mileage will be 20% greater when the unit is set to M/G than when it is set to MPG, so be sure you have it set properly. In either the MPG or M/G modes the OBC displays all data in English units (miles, gallons, temperature in degrees F) and the clock is in 12-hour mode. In L:00 mode all units are metric (kilometers, liters, temperature in degrees C) and the clock is in 24-hour mode.
The Code Function.
The CODE
button controls an alarm and ignition cut-off system. To set it, turn the engine off but leave the key in the accessory position (so power is still provided to accessories like the radio, but the engine is not running). Then press the CODE
button, and the display should change to
. Now enter a secret 4-digit code number, using the same four buttons along the bottom as you used to set the time. When you're satisfied with your choice of code, turn the the key to the off position and remove it. The alarm is now set. The next time you try to start the car, the OBC will flash
and sound the "bong" audible alarm. The car will not start without the proper code. To disable the alarm, insert the key into the ignition, turn it to the accessory position, enter the code, and then press SET-RES.
Now you can start the car. If you try to start it without entering the proper code, the engine will crank, but there will be no spark. The OBC display will continue to flash and sound the "bong" audible alarm. It's best not to do this, as you may flood the engine. Do NOT forget your code! If you mis-enter it 3 times in a row, the alarm will go off (honking horn and flashing lights) -- your neighbors will not be amused. It seems that there's nothing you can do while the alarm is sounding to shut it off. The alarm will last about a minute and then shut off on its own, giving you a chance to try again.
What if you forget the security code? Disconnecting the battery for a moment or two causes the OBC to reset and "forget" that the alarm had been set. This isn't such a secure system after all!
Average MPH and Average MPG.
These two functions are relatively obvious: the OBC calculates your average speed and gas mileage. Press the
button or the AVG MPH
button to display whichever value you're interested in. Pressing the SET-RES
button will re-set the calculations. I like to reset the Average MPG calculation with every full tank of gas. As noted earlier, if the OBC is set to operate in metric units it will display average kilometers per hour and average liters of gas per 100 kilometers.
Maximum MPH Function
You can set the OBC to act like your mother-in-law if you want, but if that's what you want why did you buy a BMW? This function causes the OBC to nag you with a bong if you exceed the speed setting stored in the Max MPH function. Press the M MPH
button, then enter the speed you want to set as a limit, using the numeric buttons as described earlier. Then press MMPH
button a second time to start the mother in law up. The little LED in the face of the button will light to tell you the function is on. Whenever you exceed the speed you entered, the OBC goes "bong" and the LED starts to flash. As noted earlier, if the OBC is operating in metric mode this function operates in kilometers per hour.
Timer Function
The timer button causes the OBC to display a timer, which can be useful for timing how long a trip takes. Press the TIMER
button, then the SET-RES
button to start the timer. When you press SET-RES
a second time the timer stops. The LED in the face of the button will light as long as the timer is running. The timer maintains accuracy to tenths of seconds for the first minute of timing,whole seconds between one minute and one hour of timing, and minutes between one hour and 99 hours, 59 minutes (after reaching 100 hours it starts over again). If you leave this timer function running when you turn off the ignition the unit will continue to track elapsed time.
Temperature Function
and the unit displays the outside temperature. The OBC will go "bong" if it senses the temperature beginning to approach freezing (around 36 degrees F). The display can be changed between Celsius and Fahrenheit display by changing from metric to US units as described above. If the display tells you that it is very cold outside (like, say, -28 degrees), either you live in a very cold place or the temperature sensor is broken.
Function and Calibration.
for an estimate of how far the car can go before it runs out of gas. Warning!! This is a toy, so do not rely on its accuracy!! If the reading gets down to under 10 miles you're most likely gonna have to get out and push real soon. I've run out of gas twice trying to use up the few remaining drops of gas, only to discover they were "virtual" drops. Since you've been warned, here's how you can calibrate the range display to be a little more accurate. This is NOT covered in the owner's manual. If you press both the
keys simultaneously, the display will indicate the number of liters of fuel left in the tank. There is a small adjustment screw located behind a plastic cover in the lower left hand corner of the OBC. Whenthe low fuel light firstcomes on (the warning light in the fuel gauge), the tank should have 4.5 liters of fuel left (I'm not entirely sure about this value - others on the UUC digest have suggested that the proper value is more like 6.5 liters, so who knows). Make sure the car is parked on a level surface, and then turn the little screw until the display reads 4.5L.
Display the
Version Number
If you press the
keys simultaneously, the display will show the version number of the OBC firmware. Mine reads:
Changing the OBC display bulb is possible but not too easy. I've never done it, but there's an article in the BMW FAQ -- see "Fixing the Backlight" in the OBC FAQ at:
. You basically have to pull the OBC from the dash, and the bulb sits under some sort of cover on either the side or the rear of the unit.
What to do if your OBC displays only
If the OBC display suddenly starts to diplay only
, you can reset it back to normal. Apparently this happens if there is an elctrical surge in the system (although it's never happened to me, despite many occasions of having to jump-start the car). First, press
, and then press the small recessed button on the lower right of the unit. After a second or two, the LED in the
button will flash once, and the OBC is reset. All memory is wiped out, so you'll have to reset the date and time.

Business owner or entrepreneur?
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
Some people say that they are simply two ways of saying the same thing. Or that one leads to the other. But not all business owners are entrepreneurs, nor are all entrepreneurs business owners. The person who inherited a family business from his/her father, or grandfather who originally started the business is not an entrepreneur. Just like many people who, leaving their jobs to devote themselves to their passion and risk their savings for an idea, are not business owners, with a formally set up company.
Some may never set up one, or get lost along the way, but that doesn't mean that they are not entrepreneurs or have the merit of being one.
Undoubtedly "entrepreneur" is one of those terms that has been so abused recently that it makes you yawn just on hearing it. Today in any academic event, professional congress or business incubator, it is called upon with an almost obscene frequency. As if entrepreneurship were an end in itself. Or the only solution to recession. As if those who have voluntarily chosen to work for others should almost apologize. Courageous, optimistic visionaries sought. They are encouraged to think big, to create the next Facebook. To set up companies that grow from one month to the next, that generate so many jobs, that produce enormous P&L accounts and whose ego grows at the same rate as their pockets. In short, it is assumed that for complete fulfillment, the entrepreneur must aspire to becoming a great business owner, which in reality has more to do with being a good manager than a visionary. It's surprising to see that the best business schools in our country, even those with an international reputation, train so many executives and so few entrepreneurs.
The well-known words that Steve Jobs said to John Sculley, the then-CEO of Pepsi, to convince him to accept a position as CEO at Apple: "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?" He didn't offer him shares, or a better salary, or gourmet food. He promised him an attitude. The words of an entrepreneur to a top executive. An entrepreneur who went on to become the main shareholder in the most valuable company in the world, but who opted to go down in history as a visionary rather than a businessman. His on-going need to reinvent Apple, or his first stopoff with Next and then with Pixar, illustrate that. Maybe the secret to being a successful entrepreneur lies there: in never forgetting the feeling of being an entrepreneur from day one.

Entertainment Reviews:
Living Blues - p.p.89"[A] smoldering, sophisticated album....Their voices prove as complimentary as their personal histories, Bibb providing the gravelly bottom while Block and Muldaur fill in the harmony."
Song previews provided courtesy of iTunes
Product Description:
Personnel: Eric Bibb (vocals, guitar); Eric Bibb; Chris Burns (piano, Wurlitzer piano, Wurlitzer organ); Mudcat Ward (double bass, upright bass); Rory Block (vocals, guitar); Maria Muldaur (vocals); Per Hanson (drums).
Audio Mixer: Lincoln Clapp.
Liner Note Author: Art Tipaldi.
Recording information: 05/2003.
Arranger: Eric Bibb.
As its title implies, this is a spiritually based collaboration from three distinct -- even disparate -- yet surprisingly harmonious voices. Mostly, but not entirely acoustic, the trio of rootsy singers trade lead vocals on smooth jazz/blues ("Bessie's Dream"), folk-blues ("Good Stuff"), Delta blues ("Rolling Log"), gospel (an a cappella version of Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "Rock Daniel"), and combinations of those genres. On paper it sounds scattershot, but in actuality this is a thoughtfully paced combination of styles, united by three affecting voices. Eric Bibb's smoother Keb' Mo' approach meshes surprisingly well with Rory Block's more penetrating Delta croon and Maria Muldaur's sassy, sexy, throaty growl. Covers of Jimmy Reed's "Little Rain" and Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody" with Bibb taking lead, and Bill Withers' "Lean on Me" (Muldaur and Block) show the disc's wide stylistic range. A musical seminar in how diverse types of music interbreed and influence each other, all three singers are in the moment with nobody commanding the spotlight for long. The barrelhouse honky tonk piano blues of Block's "Travelin' Woman Blues" incorporates both Muldaur's and Block's singing in the album's most convincing duet. Only a few songs such as the closing title track feature all three voices, and the album might have benefited from more instances where they all contribute. But the vocalist's exuberance soars from the grooves and creates a lively yet relaxed vibe that's contagious and often thrilling. The result is a cohesive, soulful, and powerful disc that will hopefully inspire listeners to find more material from each of its headliners. ~ Hal Horowitz

Using its four drive bays and hardware encryption, this NAS will allow you to store and share a large number of files, including videos, music, photos, and documents with up to 1,024 users.
The DS416j runs on Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) OS, which is a browser-based operating system which helps to simplify managing your Synology NAS. Its CPU is a 1.3 GHz Marvell Armada 388 88F6828 Dual-Core that runs in 32-bit mode and its 512MB of DDR3 RAM allows frequently-used files and applications to be quickly accessed. The NAS is capable of achieving read speeds of 112.82 MB/s, write speeds of 101.2 MB/s, and features one USB 3.0 port and one USB 2.0 port, both of which allow it to be connected to your Windows, Mac, or Linux system.

Data may also be made remotely available through the free iOS and Android applications.
Using the integrated media server on the DS416j, you have the ability to stream digital multimedia content from the DiskStation to media devices for local or remote playback. You may also stream movies and music to a DLNA-compatible device to enjoy your favorite movies or shows stored on the DiskStation.
The DS416j also serves as a centralized backup target for all the computers in your home. Windows users can back up data to the DS416j via Windows Backup, while Mac OS X users will be able to take advantage of native Apple Time Machine integration. You have the ability to set the backup destination to not only be local hard disks, but also connected USB drives or the cloud. The DS416j also supports a variety of RAID modes, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Basic, and Synology Hybrid, each of which provides performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both. For those who do not require RAID support, JBOD is also supported.
The DS416j is also engineered to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer a larger fan and smart airflow to keep the system running cool at all times, its noise dampening design of 19.1 dB(A) makes for quiet operation. The server supports numerous scheduled power on / off cycles and hard drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses.
The DS416j operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and includes an accessory pack, an AC power adapter, an AC power cord, and an Ethernet cable.
- Built-In Floating-Point Unit
- Powered by a built-in floating-point unit, the DS416j brings an improved multimedia experience to home and personal users. The built-in floating-point unit helps enhance the overall capability of the main CPU and is particularly advantageous in speeding up thumbnail creation when uploading large amounts of photos or videos
- The DS416j comes with a USB 3.0 port to connect to various kinds of external storage devices, while ensuring fast and efficient file transfer speeds. Support for USB 3.0 offers transfer speeds of up to 5 Gb/s (about 10 times faster than USB 2.0), meaning it takes less time to transfer data to external hard drives, while also consuming less power
- Four-Level Brightness Control for Front LEDs
- Equipped with flexible LED indicators, the DS416j's front LEDs can provide comfortable brightness by controlling and scheduling its four-stage brightness, letting you flexibly decide the intensity of the front LEDs according to environment needs
- DiskStation Manager OS

Featuring an intuitive user interface, DSM makes accessing and sharing your data smarter and simpler. Synology's Package Center lets you download and install useful add-on packages designed specifically for individual or business needs, meaning you can enjoy more entertainment in your life or better productivity at work
- Compatible Sharing
- Enjoy file sharing across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms as the DS416j offers comprehensive network protocol support including FTP, SMB2, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV. With Windows AD and LDAP integration, the DS416j can fit into any existing network environment - there is no need for IT administrators to maintain two sets of credentials. You also won't worry about missing files with the Recycle Bin feature which is supported on AFP, CIFS, File Station, and WebDAV. All files deleted in a shared folder will be automatically moved into the Recycle Bin
- Backup Solution
- The Synology DS416j can serve as a centralized backup target. Whether you are a Windows or Mac user, you can back up everything on your computer directly to a Synology NAS using Cloud Station. Whenever you modify a file, the changes are backed up to the DS416j automatically. Mac users also enjoy native Apple Time Machine support. You can also back up data from your DS416j to another DiskStation, rsync server, external drive, or even Amazon S3, Glacier cloud service, Microsoft Azure, SFR, and hicloud. Backup & Replication allows you to schedule backup tasks and restore the server to any particular point in time, while minimizing storage consumption and processing time by saving only the specific data block that has been changed between versions
- DLNA Certified Media Server
- As a DLNA Certified DMS (Digital Media Server), the DS416j can serve as your primary media server, with the capability to host digital multimedia content for local or remote playback. Once connected to a router, the DS416j streams music, photos, and videos to DLNA-compliant devices, such as DLNA TVs or gaming consoles without any pre-configuration. You can even browse and select content on DS416j using DS audio and designate a DLNA player within the same local network to play it
- Stream Content to Your TV
- The DS416j is compatible with other devices, letting you manage and enjoy digital content with the devices you already have: computers, mobile devices, TVs, DLNA devices, and stereos. Synology offers support for TV streaming, including Samsung TV, Roku players, Apple TV, and Google Chromecast, meaning you can stream digital content stored on the DS416j to your widescreen TV
- Cloud Service
- The DS416j brings you a comprehensive cloud service.

- 4 x WD 8TB Red 5400 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS HDD
Designed with home and small office/business customers in mind, the 8TB Red 5400 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS HDD from WD is well-suited for NAS environments with up to eight 3.5" drive bays. Engineered to handle increased workloads, this 8TB drive operates using a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a 128MB cache, and a rotational speed of 5400 rpm, all of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a sustained rate of up to 178 MB/s. This drive also features high levels of reliability, with 600,000 load/unload cycles, <10 in 10 14 non-recoverable read errors per bits read, error recovery controls, and 1,000,000 hours MTBF for 1-8 bay NAS systems. Also built into this drive are noise and vibration protection and WD's NASware 3.0 helps increase system compatibility, allowing WD Red drives to be more easily integrated with your existing network infrastructure.
General Features
- Fill Your NAS with WD Red
- Built for 1 to 8-bay NAS systems, WD Red lets users store their data in one unit
- NASware 3.0 Technology
- Built into every WD Red hard drive, NASware 3.0's technology helps improves your system's storage performance by increasing compatibility, integration, upgradeability, and reliability
- Built for NAS Compatibility
- Desktop drives aren't purpose-built for NAS, but WD Red drives with NASware are. WD's technology helps takes the guesswork out of selecting a drive. WD Red is for small NAS systems and WD's algorithm balances performance and reliability in NAS and RAID environments
- Desktop Drives vs. WD Red
- Desktop hard drives are not designed for NAS environments. Do right by your NAS and choose a drive with an array of features to help preserve your data and maintain optimum performance. Take the following into consideration when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:
- Compatibility: Without being tested for compatibility with your NAS system, improved performance is not guaranteed
- Reliability: The always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one and desktop drives aren't typically tested in those conditions. WD Red is
- Error Recovery Controls: WD Red NAS hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within the NAS system. Desktop drives are not typically designed for RAID environments where this can be an issue
- Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to operate solo, desktop drives offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration faced in a multi-drive system. WD Red drives are designed for multi-bay NAS systems
- WD Red for Home
- Stream, backup, share, and organize your digital content at home with a NAS and WD Red drives designed to share content to the devices in your home. Red NASware helps increase your drives' compatibility with your devices, TV, stereo, and more
- WD Red for Small Business
- WD Red is a good hard drive choice for 1 to 8 bay systems. NASware 3.0 allows for integration with your existing network so WD Red can share and backup files at the speed of your business. For larger businesses with up to 16 bays, use WD Red Pro
- 3D Active Balance Plus
- This helps ensure your data is protected from excessive vibration and noise in a NAS or RAID environment. This dual-plane balance control helps reduce the degradation of your drive over time
- Reliability
- Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is essential. With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours, the WD Red drive with NASware 3.0 is designed for 24x7 environments
- Cooler Operations
- By reducing power consumption, the operating temperature of your NAS stays cooler. With a lower temperature in your system, you can create a more reliable solution for your NAS
