Saving Changes to your Photographs in Lightroom 3

[♪upbeat music♪] [ADOBE TV Presents] [♪♪] [The Complete Picture - with Julieanne Kost] [♪♪] Hi, and welcome. My name is Julieanne Kost. In today's episode of The Complete Picture, we're going to answer a question that I get asked all the time, and that is, "How do you save the changes that you make to your images in Lightroom?" because most of you I know have used Photoshop, and so you're really used to opening a file in Photoshop and then having to do either a Save or a Save As to save those changes. But in Lightroom, you don't really have to do that. So let's take a look at how and when you would save your files. So I'm just going to start by kind of moving through the workflow a little bit. I will click on the Import button here, and we can just navigate to some images. I have this new folder called Memphis that has just a few images in my Photographs folder. I'm simply going to add them in place, but I am going to add some metadata--in this case my contact information-- and we'll add the keyword Memphis. All right, excellent. Then I'll go ahead and import these files. So what I wanted to demonstrate here was that all of that information has already been added. So if we look in the Metadata panel, we can see all my contact information, and if we scroll up to the Keywording area, we can see the keyword that's been added. Now, how about some other information? Let's say we wanted to go ahead and give three of these images one star. So I'll tap the 1 key. And then let's say these next three images I want to go ahead and label them with a yellow label, so I'll tap the 7 key. And maybe this image here I might want to flag as a pick, so I'll tape the P key. So now I've added a lot more information to kind of help me distinguish which images are which. And now let's even go over to the Develop Module and make some changes to these images. I'll start here at the beginning. These are similar images, so why don't I select all three of them down here in my filmstrip, and I'll turn on Auto Sync. What that does is it will automatically, when I make a change to this image, it will automatically make a change to all of my images that are selected. And I'm just going to go through here and kind of look at some of the presets. In fact, this one looks pretty good. You'll notice that I can just roll my cursor over any of the presets and it'll automatically show me a little display in the Navigator there. So let's go ahead and go with maybe the Direct Positive. That gives is just a lot of punch, and you can see that these two other images have also been updated. And then we'll come over here and maybe grab these three images, and we'll just cycle through and maybe scroll down a little bit more and just see if we like any of the changes here. Of course I also have some that I've made, so I've got some Select Color and some Toning changes that we can look at as well. These are just all presets that I have saved. It doesn't really matter to me. You can add one, of course, and if you don't like that, one of the great things is we can always go back and add another one. But let's just say that we're satisfied with those changes that we've made. Okay. So the way Lightroom works is every time you make a change it's automatically saving those changes into the database. So we really don't have to worry about that. However, it's when you start working with other applications that you might start getting confused. So even though we've made these changes, let's take a look at what this looks like in an application like Bridge. I'll return back to the Library. Let's take a look at this first image. I want to view this in Bridge, so let's go ahead and show it in the Finder. There it is in the Finder, and I'll just drag that down on top of the Bridge icon. And what that does is it redirects Bridge so that it shows me that folder full of images in the Content area. But as you can see, Bridge is not displaying those changes that we made in Lightroom. And if we think about it, it kind of makes sense because Bridge has no idea that Lightroom has a database, so it wouldn't know that we've made those changes. So let's do this: Let's go back here to Lightroom for a minute, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to push the information from the database into the files. There are two ways that you can do this. One is kind of manual, and then there's an automated way to do it. There's a reason that we have two ways, so let me show them both to you. The first way--the kind of manual way--is quite simple. I would just do a Select All or a Command or Control A to select all of the images that I've made changes to and then underneath the Metadata menu up here, I would simply choose Save Metadata to Files or Command or Control S. Now remember, what this is doing is it's taking the information from the database and it's pushing it into the files. It's still in the database, but now it's in the database and in the files. It's kind of like a nice little insurance policy, like if the dog eats your database, you'll still have all these changes saved to the files. So it's pretty cool. So now let's go back to Bridge, and you can see that Bridge is now displaying all those changes because it now has all of that information so it can display it properly. You can see that we've got our stars, you can see that we've got our color labels, and if I go ahead and select a file here, you can see all of that metadata as well as the keyword that we applied to it. So let's go back now to Lightroom again because that was kind of a manual way to do it. What if you just wanted to turn this on so that it automatically saved the metadata to your files? You can do that as well. On the Mac, you would go underneath the Lightroom menu and then you'd come down here to Catalog Settings. On Windows, you would go into the Edit menu and then Catalog Settings. And here in the Metadata area, you would go ahead and check on the Automatically write changes to XMP. So you're probably wondering why this isn't on by default. Well, really, it's a matter of speed. Let's say, for example, you just photographed a wedding and you've got 4,000 images that you're going to go through and you select 500 at a time and you're trying to change the white balance. Well, every time you make a change, Lightroom is going to be writing those changes to XMP. So if those images are all on a local hard drive and it's super fast, then it shouldn't really be an issue. But if they're on a network server and maybe they're slow, then this could actually slow down your performance a little bit. So that's why it's not on by default. But what I would suggest is just try turning it on, and then if you notice a performance slowdown, then you can go ahead and turn it off and just use the manual way. But I just leave mine on most of the time because then I don't have to remember to actually push the information from the database into the individual files. Okay. So that kind of explains how you save your files, but I want to give you a little bit more information as well. Let's go ahead and take a look at this in the Finder. What we'll see is we have a few JPEG files here. We've got a CR2 file, which is a Canon's RAW proprietary file format with an XMP file, and then we have some DNG files. So the JPEG files and the DNG files, when we take the information from the database and we write it into the individual files, as long as it's a standard file format, we can just add that information to the file. It's only with these proprietary raw file formats like the CR2 from Canon or the NEF from Nikon that we have to actually create this secondary sidecar file, this XMP sidecar file. So that's just something that you should know because when you look at your images in the operating system, you might be surprised because they're not going to look the same as they do in an application like Bridge or in Lightroom because those applications are smart enough to look inside the file and show you a preview based on all of those changes that you've made. But in the operating system, you're not going to be able to see those changes. Okay. Let's just look at one last scenario because this is important as well because you might not always start in Lightroom and go to Bridge, you might actually be in Bridge and make a change to the file. Let's say, for example, I have this first image selected and I'll use Command or Control R. That will just take me right directly into Camera Raw. I just want to do something that's really obvious, so I'll just convert it to gray scale and click Done. So now we can see that this looks gray scale in Bridge. And when we go back over to Lightroom, at this point, Lightroom is not really sure what you want. It doesn't know what should take priority: the changes that you made in Lightroom or the changes that you just recently made in Bridge. So it gives me this icon right here, and if you click on this icon, it will ask you basically which is more important. Should it import the settings from disk because when you made those changes in Bridge, Bridge wrote the settings to disk, or should it overwrite the settings, meaning, "Oh, no. Lighroom should take priority." Well, let's assume that we want our image black and white because we did that in Bridge. So what we would do is we would choose Import Settings from Disk, and it would go and read those settings, and it would convert the image or make the image appear as if it's black and white. Well, excellent. That wraps up this episode of The Complete Picture. As you can see, it's actually very, very easy to save your files in Lightroom. In fact, it saves it to the database for you. But of course if you want to push that information to the files--easy ways-- either select them all, Command S, to save it or just turn on that XMP setting in your Catalog Settings. Of course if you do make changes outside of Lightroom and you decide you want to incorporate those inside of Lightroom, all you need to do is simply click those icons, or it's actually underneath the Metadata area as well. You can simply Read Metadata from File. I'm Julieanne Kost. Thanks again for joining me. I hope I'll see you again next time on The Complete Picture.

In this episode, Julieanne Kost will explain how changes made to photographs are saved automatically to the Lightroom Catalog. Then Julieanne will demonstrate how to use both the "Save Metadata to Files" command as well as the "Automatically write changes to XMP" Catalog Setting to push changes made to photographs from the catalog into individual files (or sidecar files) so that they can be read and utilized within additional applications such as Adobe Bridge.

Teddy faux sheepskin coat: H&M trend (sale!!) || "Keep it Surreal" top: Urban Outfitters || Ripped leggings: SammyDress
There are no words for how much I was obsessing over that coat haha. Well, it was actually half price on sale at H&M, but none of my local H&M stores got it - so I decided to buy it online and there were only really large sizes which definitely would look awful on me because of the fact that it is already supposed to be oversized. While being totally frustrated (okay maybe disappointed haha) I found out that H&M restocks their sale articles in the very early morning and I mean early - 2 am! Crazy how I am I set the alarm and after two nights I finally got it in my size XS haha. I simply love that jacket, it's so cozy, soft and the color is amazing. Additionally it's also oversized and as you all know oversized jackets or coats are my key pieces in winter. In order to add some Rock 'n' Roll to it I teamed it up with my ripped leggings and favorite platform heels. AND: this one is probably my last winter look, finally! :-D

I am sorry if this is a trivial question, but I have not found a
solution anywhere. I don't even seem to know how to phrase my search
query right for this one.
I need to save a table as a matrix and
.table variableName , c(stat1 var1)
will produce a table that i would like stored in a matrix. How do I do
this? Tab (or tabulate) will only save number of observations in a
.tabstat variableName, stats(count) save
Will store the results in N 1x1 matrices that I suppose I could
concatenate - but since the number of 1x1 matrices will vary this is not
I need it to workaround a command that does not allow by() , so I need
not just the actual statistic in the table, but the value of
variableName in the matrix as well

Father and Son Olympians
Many dreams flourish from a seed that a parent has planted in their child. In honor of Father's Day, Olympic Halfpipe skier Lyman Currier shares his gratitude for his father who taught him to have passion for the mountains and for skiing. For the Currier family, Lyman's Olympic debut in Sochi, Russia was not their first Olympic experience. Lyman's father, David, was an alpine downhill racer in the 1972 Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo, Japan.
Both Lyman and his father were only 19 at their Olympic debuts. Lyman says that his father plays a large role in the success of his career, with advice, experience and understanding that can only be found in the heart of an Olympian. "Everything that I go through, whether its good or bad, he has been through. He has insight on what I should do and how I should handle it, and how to get through it," said Lyman.
The strong influence David Currier had on his son's love for the mountains started at a young age when Lyman and his older brother Oren learned to ski. David knew there was something special that sparked Lyman's love for skiing. "Lyman was only 18 months old and he was so into his gear! He loved stomping around in his boots and skis," said David. "It was clear that he loved it. That wasn't the intent at first but he just couldn't get enough of it, we [David and his wife] just wanted to expose him to the mountains." The passion and love for the sport was something Lyman developed on his own.
During the Sochi Olympics, Lyman suffered a torn ACL on a run during halfpipe finals. With the support of his dad, Lyman was able to stay calm and work through the tough situation. "My dad helped me keep my head cool," he said.
David's proudest moments of his son are not just the high moments of his athletic career, but also the courage and open mindedness he takes into every situation. "Lyman is able to treat both good and bad situations with the same kind of approach and understands he will have really high highs and low lows," said David. "I'm so proud of him for that. Not being afraid to show emotions in that situation and how pure and honest he is as an individual." Lyman understands the significance of all triumphs and is able to take the positives and grow from every experience, both good and bad.
The support and inspiration Lyman had growing up with his father on and off the ski hill helped mold him into the passionate and successful athlete he is today. Lyman shows great appreciation for the lessons he learned from his father and values his dad for encouraging him to turn his passion into dreams and his dreams into reality.
"Happy Fathers Day Dad, and thank you because I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am without you."

If there's one thing you know for sure about "Star Wars" fans it's that you don't mess with them when it comes to the film franchise, but Target did just that and now they've created quite the mess to clean up for themselves.
Outrage ensued after a T-shirt found on their website was being sold in which the stores took it upon themselves to re-write an iconic scene from the series by swapping out Princess Leia for Luke Skywalker.
In the original scene from the 1977 movie "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope," Darth Vader famously interrogates Princess Leia, which is one of the franchise's most pivotal plotlines. But Target took the frame and completely replaced her character with the male counterpart.
"The only part of this scene that you got right, was Darth Vader," one reviewer posted on the website. "Where's princess Leia? Luke wasn't even in this scene."
"Disappointed that the marketing people thought this was a good idea to remove Leia from the scene in favor of Luke," another wrote.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Hundreds of others took to Twitter and other social media platforms accusing the chain of sexism.
So why would Target make the switch? That's what fans and feminists want to know.
Target has since pulled the shirt from shelves and swapped it with the version it was intended to be, according to Buzzfeed News. The retailer explained the shirt had been designed by an outside firm.
"The fans have spoken and we are going to remove that shirt from our assortment," a spokesman told the site.

Not to be outdone by my Mom, in saving old things, here is my Cradle Roll Certificate from the Star Methodist Sunday School, when I had just passed two months old. Oh! You say my Mom must have saved it so that I would have it now... You are probably right, now that I think about it. Thanks! I note that the Sunday School Superintendent, Rhoda Wilson, was an aunt of my wife - we've know each other since those days in the Sunday School in the fall of 1939!

This event is history, please check out the List of Upcoming Seminars, or send us an email
Check out our related in-house workshops:
Why do we organize this workshop ?
|FREE book with your participation in this 4-way workshop:
An enterprise architecture framework such as Scott Bernard's EA³ Cube, TOGAF or Zachman is a tool to align strategy, business and technology ("EA = S + B + T"). It is built up from many different artifacts, such as the Strategy Plan, SWOT analysis, Operating Scenarios, Process Models, Data Entity Schemas, Data Models, Use Cases, Investment Business Cases, Workforce plans, ...
But how do you use such an enterprise architecture, how do you run an EA team and EA competence center (EACC), and how do you improve the maturity of enterprise architecture throughout your company ? These topics are the key subjects of this workshop, and some of the typical questions that will be answered here are:
This "Advanced EA Concepts" workshop builds upon prior knowledge of EA concepts and practices, e.g. gained in
This specific workshop is intended to build expertise in managing EA programs, establishing/leading EA teams, winning EA work, delivering EA products, and using EA to improve mission performance. Although it is not absolutely necessary to have attended the 2 workshops above, it is required that participants understand the EA³ Cube, and have read the book on EA³ by Scott Bernard (we can send you a copy).
The course will also cover advanced concepts on linking EA to other governance processes, including capital planning, program management, security, and human resources management (HRM).
Following this workshop, participants will have an advanced understanding of EA concepts and practices, and should be able to more successfully establish and lead EA teams and projects in the public and private sector, as well as develop project proposals and gain/maintain customer and stakeholder confidence and support. This will result in improved EA program success, higher quality EA documentation products, improved communication with EA clients and stakeholders, and increased EA value delivery
At the end of the "Advanced Enterprise Architect Concepts" workshop, participants will receive an attendance certificate issued by I.T. Works and by EA Fellows. Of course, only participants who have attended all 3 workshops will attain the Certified Enterprise Architect" certification from CMU.
This workshop is useful for anyone who is involved in enterprise architecture, particularly those involved in EA planning, EA program management, EA implementation, EA governance or EA auditing.
This includes, but is not restricted to Business Executives, Program Managers, Technology Managers, Project Managers and Technical Staff who want to gain an understanding of how to run EA programs.
This workshop is organised in cooperation with and EA Fellows. The number of participants is limited to 16 for maximum interaction and learning experience. During this workshop, free wifi Internet access will be available to our participants.
Are you looking to expand your knowledge of Enterprise Architecture (EA) ? Are you trying to control business and technology development projects ? But you don't know for sure if your line-of-business applications support your business goals ? Do you need to learn EA best practices, so that you can maximize the benefits of EA for your organization ?
If so, then the new Enterprise Architecture Certification Program, offered by EA Fellows and by Carnegie Mellon University's Institute for Software Research International (ISRI), one of the world's leading IT education and research centers, and organised by I.T. Works in Belgium, is the program for you. "It is an honour and a pleasure to launch the EA-certification programme developed by Carnegie Mellon University here in Europe. Over the past several years, the demand for EA-competencies in Europe has increased tremendously, and it is time to roll out professional certification here now", says Dr. John Gøtze, the International President of the Association of Enterprise Architects, and instructor of the certification courses.
This Enterprise Architecture certification program will give you the knowledge and skills you need to successfully implement an EA initiative in the public or private sector. You will learn EA concepts, best practices, and tools from experienced Carnegie Mellon certified instructors. The Certification Program is built from three intensive courses which provide a comprehensive development program for Enterprise Architects: the "Fundamentals of Enterprise Architecture" course, the "Applied Enterprise Architecture" course and this "Advanced Enterprise Architecture". You will attain "Certified Enterprise Architect" status after passing three intensive exams for each of these courses.
The full certification programme will be organized again in 2010.AGENDA » SPEAKERS »

This is the key conclusion from the recently published study.
Glycemic Control for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Our Evolving Faith in the Face of Evidence
...We searched in top general medicine and specialty journals for articles referring to glycemic control appearing between 2006 and 2015 and identified the latest practice guidelines.
We identified 16 guidelines and 328 statements. The body of evidence produced estimates warranting moderate confidence. This evidence reported no significant impact of tight glycemic control on the risk of dialysis/transplantation/renal death, blindness, or neuropathy. In the past decade, however, most published statements (77%–100%) and guidelines (95%) unequivocally endorsed benefit. There is also no significant effect on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, or stroke; however, there is a consistent 15% relative-risk reduction of nonfatal myocardial infarction. Between 2006 and 2008, most statements (47%–83%) endorsed the benefit; after 2008 (ACCORD), only a minority (21%–36%) did.
Conclusions — Discordance exists between the research evidence and academic and clinical policy statements about the value of tight glycemic control to reduce micro- and macrovascular complications.
And journalistic commentary, from the CBC:

No evidence glucose-lowering drugs help ward off long-term complications, researchers say
It's a curious case of missing evidence. When a diabetes specialist searched the medical literature looking for proof to support the use of glucose-lowering drugs for Type 2 diabetes, he couldn't find it.
His conclusions challenge the conventional wisdom of many medical specialists, and contradict most clinical practice guidelines.
"Over 90 per cent of experts were saying that controlling blood sugars tightly was associated with a reduction in your risk of going blind or of needing dialysis or having to undergo an amputation," Montori said. "But when we looked at the evidence for that, we could not see any signal that would suggest that is true despite the question being asked at least since the 1970s."
The finding reveals a divergence in professional opinion based on the same set of facts, and it exposes a dilemma in the science of Type 2 diabetes — that doctors don't completely understand the relationship between blood sugar and the disease.
My comments:
1) The lack of benefits from glucose lowering therapies may be explained by the primary cause of the damage being the total carbohydrate overload (Glycemic Load) rather than the blood glucose level.
2) The results are consistent with the research published by R.W.Stout (Lancet, 1969) demonstrating arteriosclerotic plaque production stimulated by glucose and insulin. Reduction of carbohydrate consumption therefore reduces both glycemic load and insulin secretion, reducing the overall risk, especially cardiovascular. Some glucose level controlling drugs only push glucose from one location (blood) into another (tissues) without generally affecting insulin secretion and therefore unchanging the risk, while some other drugs that do increase insulin would also increase the risk.
3) Confusion among medical professionals stems from their attachment to the Western food and lifestyle, unable to consider a possibility that the high carbohydrate nutrition may by itself be the main trigger (if not the cause) of diabetes. In my personal opinion, best remedy would be to allow more free play and competition in the medical field, enabling doctors trained in other countries that may not be subject to the above described mind blocks, to practice legally world-wide, as it is already being widely accepted in other professions such as engineering, scientific research and art.

1Grant me justice, O God;
defend me from a faithless people;
from the deceitful and unjust rescue me.a
2You, O God, are my strength.
Why then do you spurn me?
Why must I go about mourning,
with the enemy oppressing me?
3bSend your light and your fidelity,*
that they may be my guide;c
Let them bring me to your holy mountain,
to the place of your dwelling,
4That I may come to the altar of God,
to God, my joy, my delight.
Then I will praise you with the harp,
O God, my God.
5Why are you downcast, my soul?
Why do you groan within me?
Wait for God, for I shall again praise him,
my savior and my God.
* [43:3] Your light and your fidelity: a pair of divine attributes personified as guides for the pilgrimage. As in Ps 42:9 the psalmist prays that these divine attributes lead him back to Jerusalem and ultimately to God's presence in the Temple.
a. [43:1] Ps 119:154.

Circle the dates on the calendar and plan your trip – America's 401 national parks will offer free admission on nine days in 2014, including several holidays!
The 2014 entrance fee-free days are:
· January 20: Martin Luther King Jr. Day
· February 15-17: Presidents Day weekend
· April 19-20: National Park Week's opening weekend
· August 25: National Park Service's 98th birthday
· September 27: National Public Lands Day
· November 11: Veterans Day
"America's national parks welcome more than 280 million visitors a year. To say thanks for that support and invite every American to visit these treasures that they own, we are declaring nine days of free admission next year," said National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. "Whether it's that once-in-a-lifetime family trip to Yellowstone or taking a daily walk along the National Mall in Washington, D.C., or the moment at Central High School that your child suddenly understands what civil rights are all about, national parks offer places for unforgettable experiences.
With more than 84 million acres of spectacular scenery, 17,000 miles of trails, 5,000 miles of shoreline, 27,000 historic and prehistoric structures, and 100 million museum items and an infinite number of authentic American stories to tell, national parks offer something for every taste.
Those in search of superlatives will find them in national parks including the country's highest point (in Denali National Park) and lowest point (in Death Valley National Park), deepest lake (Crater Lake National Park), longest cave (Mammoth Cave National Park), tallest trees (Redwood National Park), and highest waterfall (Yosemite National Park).
Normally, 133 national parks charge an entrance fee that ranges from $3 to $25. The entrance fee waiver does not cover amenity or user fees for things like camping, boat launches, transportation, or special tours.
Other Federal land management agencies that will offer fee-free days in 2014 are: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Forest Service and the Army Corps of Engineers. Please contact each for details.
The National Park Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and the U.S. Forest Service also participate in the America the Beautiful National Parks Pass and Federal Recreational Lands Pass programs. These passes provide access to more than 2,000 national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, grasslands, and other federal lands. Four passes are available:
· free annual pass to current military members and their dependents
· free lifetime pass for people with permanent disabilities
· $10 lifetime senior pass for those aged 62 and over
· $80 annual pass for the general public.

A pregnant Florida woman blamed her rage on hormones after she attacked her roommate during a fight over butter, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.
Jennifer Feagley, 24, of Deland, remained in jail on Friday on $5,000 bond after her Tuesday arrest. She faces a felony battery charge after a fight with her roommate Patricia Marson, the sheriff's office report said.
Feagley, who is six months pregnant, got very upset and hit Marson in the head after the roommate asked her why she left the butter on the stove.
U.S. & World
She then mounted Marson, who had fallen down, and punched her in the chest several times. She also put her hands around Marson's neck and hit her with her own cane five times, authorities said.
"Feagley stated her rage is due to hormones from her pregnancy, " the report said.
She added that she was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder and hasn't been taking her medication because of her pregnancy.
There were no visible injuries, and Marson said she didn't need medical attention.
But she did say she wanted to press charges against Feagley.
It wasn't immediately known if Feagley had an attorney.

Up next is my card for the bonus sketch this week at 2S4U. The sketch was done up by Rae Barthel, one of the DT members of the blog. It was a fun sketch to work with, so be sure to scroll down further in the post to see it! I used some Creative Cafe felt as my background, and some October Afternoon and Heidi Swapp paper scraps on this one. AND, I so used the collection name from my first card as part of my sentiment...I was totally inspired! And those cute cupcake stickers are from Martha Stewart Crafts. Love them!I came upon another sketch blog recently called "Friday Sketchers", and fell in love with the latest sketch. So, of course, I had to whip something up for it. This is my card that is inspired by sketch #36. Love having another sketch blog to frequent...I think I am addicted to card challenges! Hee! This card has Glitz Designs "Hot Mama" and Little Yellow Bicycle "Love Letters" collections mixed together. The diecut accents were cut out with my Cricut Expression and the cartridges "Storybook" and "Going Places".
My blog friend Katie asked about how I take photos of my cards. I don't have a light box, but I do have a procedure that seems to work for me. I am no pro, but most of the time I think my photos look pretty good. So, here is my process. Part of my desk faces east, and that is where I set up my cardstock backdrop. I normally use white, but if the card is primarily white, I will use black or a coordinating color. The window streams light in from the north, so during the winter I can get good shots from 10a-3 or 4p, and in the summer...about 7a-9p. If I have a lot of light coming in from outside, I don't turn the lights on in the room at all. This helps keep the natural colors of the card. If it is a bit dreary or cloudy out, I will turn on the main light in the room, and the lamp furthest from the east side of my desk. Any lamp light too close causes weird shadowing and coloring. Once the photo is on my computer, I adjust the levels in Photoshop, run an unsharp mask, and run my card frame action. That is my process in a nutshell. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
That is everything I have to share craft wise. We are going to watch Casey play basketball tonight, so we are excited for that! Basketball is harder to make it to than football, so this is a treat!! Plus, they are playing the Drummond Trojans, and they have a good relationship with that team. So, it is always fun to play them!
I did rediscover something this past weekend. Me + Costco + Sunday afternoon= DISASTER. I had to go pick some groceries up on Sunday so that we wouldn't be tempted to eat out this week. I don't normally shop for anything on the weekend. ANYTHING. I hate crowds...I hate waiting in line....I HATE not being able to get through a FREAKING aisle because everyone and their cat feels the need to block it in order to wait for that coveted 1/2 peice of ravioli that Costco happens to be pawning off that day. Grrr....I feel my blood pressure rising even thinking about it. But, it served as a good reminder that any and all shopping I do needs to get done M-Th, or Josh needs to do it. :)
And one last thing...I know it isn't Christmas anymore. But, I was searching for something completely different on Youtube last night...and this part of the movie Elf came up on the search. I LOVE this movie...and this is my favorite part. I laugh hysterically every time I see this part...so I thought I would make you laugh today!
Until later,

You may remember him from movies like "St. Elmo's Fire" and "Wayne's World" or on television starring on "The West Wing," but here's something you haven't seen: Rob Lowe as Drew Peterson.
Lowe has signed on to play the former Bolingbrook police officer accused of murdering his third wife in a made-for-TV movie airing on the Lifetime Movie Network, according to the Sun-Times.
The movie is based on a 2008 nonfiction book written by Joe Hosey titled, "Fatal Vows: The Tragic Wives of Sergeant Drew Peterson".
U.S. & World
Actress Kaley Cuoco will play Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, who disappeared in October 2007.
Peterson remains a suspect in Stacy's case, but is currently jailed in connection to the drowning death of this third wife, Kathleen Savio. He denies any connection to either case.
When asked by his lawyer, Joel Brodsky, on Tuesday who he thought should play him in the movie, Peterson replied, "I was hoping I would be portrayed by Denzel Washington, but I guess Rob Lowe is OK."

Fox Hides White House Support For Imprisoned Pastor To Manufacture Religious Intolerance Attack
Fox News aired a video of conservative attorney Jordan Sekulow claiming an imprisoned pastor's conversion to Christianity is the reason President Obama has "been silent" on the case, even after Sekulow praised statements from the White House and State Department in support of the pastor.
On Fox & Friends, Fox News Radio host Todd Starnes aired a video of Jordan Sekulow, a frequent Fox guest and Executive Director of the conservative American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), discussing the case of pastor Saeed Abedini, who has been imprisoned in Iran, reportedly due to his Christian faith. In the video, Sekulow interviews Abedini's wife who had not been contacted directly by President Obama or Secretary of State John Kerry.
After the interview, Sekulow declared: "I believe the government's been silent on this case with Pastor Saeed Abedini, the reason why the actual executive branch leaders have not spoken out [...] [is] because he converted from Islam to Christianity." The following voice-over claims that "the only public acknowledgement came in December, when the administration said they were aware of the case and called for his release." Starnes also highlighted the claims in a post on his blog titled "Obama Ignores American Christian Held By Iranians."
But Fox failed to note that both the White House and State Department have issued statements in support of Abedini's release, statements that Sekulow himself praised in a January 25 article on the ACLJ website: "we applaud both the State Department and the White House for these very strong statements. [...] Thanks to the State Department and White House for their statements today and involvement to secure Pastor Saeed's freedom."
In the January 25 press briefing, State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland condemned Iran's actions and called on "the Iranian authorities to respect Mr. Abedini's human rights and to release him." White House spokesperson Jay Carney also addressed the case in his press briefing that same day:
CARNEY: Well, I can tell you a couple of things. One, that we remain concerned about Saeed Abedini, who is, as you mentioned, detained in Iran on a charge related to his religious beliefs. The State Department is in close contact with his family and is actively engaged on this case. As you know, Mr. Abedini's attorney had only one day to present his defense. And earlier this week, Mr. Abedini was not allowed to attend his own trial, so we remain deeply concerned about the fairness and transparency of that trial. We condemn Iran's continued violation of the universal right of freedom or religion, and we call on the Iranian authorities to release Mr. Abedini.

Feeling Giddy
He's larger than life. He's estranged from his father. He could possibly eat his body weight in donuts. And he's all ours!
Detroit has fallen in love with Prince Fielder and it seems like the feeling is mutual. Me? I couldn't be happier. One of the happiest memories of my childhood was watching Prince's daddy crush a ball that flew out of old Tiger Stadium, right over me, my brother and my dad. You don't forget that kind of thing. And now we can go relive it in Comerica Park with Prince doing the honors. It just feels right.
At the same time, I'm a little worried. The baseball world hasn't been this giddy about the Tigers since 2008 when they were shoo-ins to win the World Series. Shoo-ins, that is, until they ended up falling flat on their face right out of the gate. This team is too good to fail but, well, if there's anything we've learned in the past few years it's that nothing is too anything to fail.
All that aside, I'm excited about 2012. It's an election year, the Lions should be even better next season and now the Tigers have made a move that in retrospect seems brilliant, even if no one saw it coming. Verlander and Fister. Prince and Miggy. You can forgive me for feeling a little giddy.

This is not really my old camera, but illustrates the situation
And so there are no new pics on the blog, and there is a lot of silence on my part. I still have to post pics of the Korps of Krieg unit that went to GD Germany, I hope I can when I get my hands into some nice piece of gear. But then the question arises. Which camera to buy? I'm a total loser in what photography is concerned, and I really need to buy something that enables me to make good pictures, but I don't need to spend gazillions of euros/dollars in a camera that could even travel in time if I knew how to do that. Can anyone with a little more expertise in photography help? I know the most important thing is the light and the optics not the camera itself, but there are so many cameras and options that I'm just overwhelmed. Point and shoot? Reflex? Damn!
In the meantime I'm preparing new stuff, and as soon as I get a new camera I promise I will share it with all of you.

This 'N That – April 14, 2008
The Salt Lake Bees are now 11-1 after winning today 5-3 over Portland. Although that's impressive under any circumstances, a reminder not to get overly excited about their offensive statistics. They've played 12 games in the PCL's most offensively-minded ballparks — Las Vegas, Tucson and Salt Lake. Give the schedule a chance to balance things out and revisit the stats in a month or so.
Today's Salt Lake Deseret Morning News had an article about the naming rights for Franklin Covey Field about to expire. The article quotes a business professor as saying any new deal will be "close to the bottom" of the scale revenue-wise. Given our recent discussion about how the Bees seem to be fairly low on the Salt Lake City sports pecking order, this would seem to be more evidence of that.
Sean O'Sullivan had a head cold and struggled at times, but he managed to deliver five no-hit innings yesterday at Rancho Cucamonga in the near-100 degree heat. Click Here to watch video footage I shot of Sean's start.
Before the game, I recorded an interview with outfielder Anthony Norman. Click Here to listen to the interview. He then went out and hit his first professional home run. Click Here to watch his dinger.
Angels reliever Chris Bootcheck didn't pitch on Sunday but he was at The Epicenter for his daily workout regimen. Click Here to listen to an interview I recorded with Chris. He said this is basically his spring training, which is why he's at the park every day, whether he's scheduled to pitch or not.
We talked about rehab players he saw at Rancho when he began his pro career in 2001 with the Quakes. Other than Erick Aybar, off-hand I can't think of anyone other than Chris who played at Rancho for a significant period of time and then returned later for rehab. (Not that this is a particular achievement worth striving for …) Maybe Howie Kendrick and Mike Napoli last year, I'll have to check the stats.
Breaking news, pun only slightly intended … Travs.com reports that outfielder Aaron Peel suffered a broken left clavicle in Saturday night's game at Midland. Cliff Remole has been promoted from Rancho. No word who will replace Remo with the Quakes.
The Orem Owlz don't start play until mid-June so there's no Hot Stove banquet in Happy Valley, but they do have an annual First Pitch banquet which is scheduled for this Friday April 18. Angels farm director Abe Flores and former second baseman Bobby Grich are the featured speakers. Click Here for more information.
In closing … After a lot of thought, I've decided that I won't travel this year to Cedar Rapids and Arkansas. The cost of flying is becoming too expensive, and if you've followed the news you know the airlines are increasingly unreliable. As previously mentioned, I'm also working on a political project that will eat up a lot more of my time in the months ahead.
Last week's spat with the Bees was also a factor. Not that I expect a similar problem with the Kernels or Travs. Quite the opposite; they're both class acts, as are their fans. But it made me think about all the mental and physical effort involved to travel cross-country for a four- or five-day shoot, especially when I'm not being paid to do it. In a non-election year like 2007, I have more time to recover, but this year there's just too much going on. Back in 2000-2001, I had two bouts with an irregular heartbeat that were brought on by pushing myself too far, so I have to remind myself that, to quote Clint Eastwood, a good man knows his limitations.
I feel like I'm letting down the fans, the front offices, and the players' parents in those towns. I hope you'll understand.
I do hope to make Orem sometime and also the Arizona summer league, but stay tuned.

Beef and Beer Oven Stew aka Finnish Merimiespata
Photo by Juta Kübarsepp for the November 2013 issue of Kodu ja Aed magazine.
Last Sunday K. and I headed to a small village called Pedaspea in the beautiful nature reserve Lahemaa in Northern Estonia, to spend a day with his friends cooking, eating, walking, playing Scrabble and generally catching up. We were supposed to bring along the main course, and thus we spent hours last week trying to decide what to make. Eventually we packed along our trusty old 5-quart cast-iron cooking pot (Dutch oven?), my sharp cook's knife, and picked up some nice beef from our local butcher and some potatoes, a bottle of beer and a pot of thyme from the grocery store.
After an hour's drive we arrived in the beautiful location on the seaside, regretting that the weather wasn't good enough for a quick swim, as the house is about 20 metres from the sea:) We then unpacked our groceries, sliced and fried and layered and seasoned the meat and veg, carefully placed our cast iron pot into the oven full of hot coals, and ventured out for an hour to explore the surroundings.
When back, the hosts Ellen and Jaan served us two dishes from Tessa Kiros' beautiful book on Italian food, Twelve: A Tuscan Cookbook. For starters, we had grilled bread with stewed Savoy cabbage (Crostone di Cavolo). And for dessert we enjoyed her Almond Cantucci together with Zabaglione that I had the pleasure of whipping up quickly. And in between those two beautiful dishes we savoured our main course, a Beef and Beer Oven Stew. The recipe I used (actually recipes, as I used three slightly different ones to come up with my own version) is Finnish, and the dish is called Merimiespata or Sailor's Stew. It was my first time to make it, but definitely not the last. There are very few ingredients - beef, potatoes, onions, beer. After initial preparation you can just leave it to slowly cook away in the oven for about 2 hours. And as it already contains both the meat and the potatoes, then it's a meal on its own - no need for a side salad or such like, although crusty bread wouldn't be out of place. And I liked the slightly sharp flavour of the dish given by beer. We used a light Estonian beer (A Le Coq premium, 4.7%), but I imagine many other types of beer would be good, too.
Merimiespata aka Finnish Beef and Beer Stew
Adapted from various sources
Serves 6
600 g lean beef (sirloin is good)
1 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp butter
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 large onions
1 tsp sugar
1 kg potatoes, peeled and sliced
a 0.5 litre bottle beer (I used A Le Coq)
300 ml beef stock
a bay leaf or two
fresh thyme, to garnish
Lay half of the potatoes into the iron-cast cooking pot, season lightly with salt.
Cut the beef cross-wise into 1.5 cm slices. Heat oil and butter on a heavy frying pan on a high heat, brown the meat slices on both sides (about 3-5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper and place on top of the potatoes.
Peel and halve the onions, slice thinly. Fry gently on the frying pan for about 5 minutes, then add sugar and fry for another 4-5 minutes, until onions are translucent and softened. Take care not to burn them! Scatter on top of the beef slices, together with any pan juices.
Cover with the rest of the potato slices.
Now pour over the beer, then add enough beef stock to just cover the potatoes.
Tuck a bay leaf into the pot, cover tightly and place either into a 175 C preheated oven for about 2 hours, or into a oven full of hot coals.
When finished, test for doneness with a sharp knife (like I'm doing on the photo here). Remove from the oven, garnish with some thyme and serve.
Can be re-heated on the next day or even on the following day.

Hi Pille,
This stew sounds delicious and is easy comfort food that's east to prepare. Although it's warmer now in Sydney, I still make casseroles and stews because it saves time. Thanks for your recipe.
p/s: and thanks for dropping by and leaving all those comments on my blog. I'm glad that I've discovered your blog.

Hi Pille
Tchau from Brazil, you just made one of my favorite foods ever! You even managed to make me a bit homesick for the slushy grays of Gulf of Finland in November... If the hot and humid spring weather here cools down a bit, we will definitely tackle this dish here - I have been looking for a good recipe!

Pille ~ Given the gray day, I'm sure that this beef stew went down really well. What an interesting deviation from the Italian dishes prepared by your friend.
I love the photo of the house with the sea in the background. How wonderful to visit such a beautiful location not far away from your own place.

Wonderful! My grandmother made something similar. Another recipe from her is made with pork, cloves, pepper and Coke. Yes, coke, the usual, the ordinary one. It is very good! Give it a try!

That looks like the perfect winter comfort food.

Best with thick dark ale. My recipe was called 'Sailor's Beef' and I got it from a book on Scandinavian cooking. Same recipe, Norwegian origin, the book said. You're right, it's spot on!

That stew looks so delicious and comforting Pille! I spent the weekend in Belgium (on a quick family visit) and my dad made his beef stew, which is very similar. He always puts some mustard in as well, and uses a dark beer.
Love the picture of your weekend getaway as well, it looks so idyllic!

Pille, I tried to find your email address but no luck: since you really seem to like my Japanese dishes and bowls (or so you told me twice now), I'd like to send you a few small ones. You'll find my email address on my blog (under my profile). Drop me a line?

This looks wonderful, like the best kind of winter comfort food. I bet the whole house smelled wonderful as it cooked, too.

Sounds yummy. No cold weather here, but I still may give it a try!

Oh, Pille, how glorious this sounds! Isn't it funny how you don't actually need more than beef and beer (and [perhaps some carbs!) to make asatisfying meal? One of the first things I ever cooked for other people in a strange kitchen was beef brisket in beer and it went down a treat. Love the picture of you kneeling by the "oven"!

Looks like simple, but hardy, comfort food to complement a comforting seaside (even if it was a winter's day).
- 8:34 am, November 27, 2007
I remember making a German version of a dish like this many many years ago for an international dinner at my high school, and the thing that's always boggled me about it is, if there's no fish in it, why is it called a fisherman's stew? Maybe I think incorrectly about fishermen, but I've got to figure that beef (or pork) would be pretty rare for them! Aaaaanyway... What a nice break you guys had! and cooking in a stove, so cool! Thanks for sharing :-)

Katie – you're right, it's perfect. It just sits in a warm oven and patiently waits for you (just remember to check the liquid levels before heading out!)
Lobstersquad – what, you haven't got a oven full of hot coals?? Try your fireplace, then. Might work, too :)
Joey – it would be an even better place for a cozy summer getaway – you could run from the sauna straight into the sea!!
K&S – yes, it's perfect!
Kevin Kossowan – spot on! And yes, it'd be nice to look at the sea while cooking!
Nora B – I'm pleased to have found your blog!
Gloria – well, there will be at cold and snowy posts from now on until March, at least :)
Anna – heippa, Taikinatyttö! Nice to hear from you – it's been a while. It's a great Finnish dish, isn't it?!
Shaun – well, this particular Italo-Finnish fusion menu worked just well..
Freya and Paul – I was pretty pleased with the crusty topping myself :)
SalulaidSolarte – Nigella Lawson has a recipe for a ham in coke. I'm not sure I'm too keen on the idea (I don't drink soft drinks in general), but I keep that in mind.
Lydia – comfort food in an oven, for sure..
Roxy – I'll try it with a thick dark ale next time. Finnish? Norwegian? Well, definitely Nordic, so very appropriate here in Estonia :)
Inne – dark beer it is next time (and that'll be soon!) PS I've written you about the Japanese dishes…
Christina – it did smell rather wonderful! But then pretty much anything cooked in a wood fire oven smells wonderful, doesn't it!
Jeanne - that's the beauty of this oven stew - so few ingredients, yet so much substance and flavour!!
ScienceMel - yep, you're right :)
Ann - I wish I could help you with the name! I've actually written to a Finnish food writer about this dish, hope he'll be able to help!
Antti - and I knew that writing about a Finnish dish would lure you back to Nami-nami:) Congrats on your new Le Creuset! As we've got three 'ancient' cast iron pans at home, we've got no excuse for a Le Creuset one (or Staub for that matter).
Quilly and Maddy – thank you!

Android Big Box Series Available at myplasticheart
Finding Big Box Android figures has been nearly impossible, at least for me. They're supposed to be available at Barnes & Noble and Urban Outfitters, but they're never in the store or online. I finally found some at NYCC but haven't seen any more. Until today.
myplasticheart has all seven versions of Big Box Series 1 available, each at $10. Finally, a robo-yeti can be all yours.

"Anthony DeStefano will help you discover everything that was previously hidden from you." —Joan Wester Anderson, author of An Angel to Watch Over Me
"Reading Angels All Around Us is like spending time with a best friend who is able to take the intricacies of faith and break them down into easy lessons anyone can understand." —Maura Poston Zagrans, bestselling author of Miracles Every Day
"Anthony DeStefano's latest book, Angels All Around Us, is a modern-day classic! No matter what your level of religious faith—and even if you have little or none—this book will transport you to places in the invisible realm that will challenge, inspire, and amaze you." —Dr. Dick Eastman, International President of Every Home for Christ and President of America's National Prayer Committee
"The increasing secularization of society has led, in the words of Pope Benedict XVI, to a sort of 'eclipse of the sense of God.' Anthony DeStefano's book, Angels All Around Us, is a welcome attempt to remind Christians of truths which, though mentioned explicitly in the Gospel and belonging to the deposit of faith, in recent decades have been overshadowed. His latest book is a much-needed effort to utilize modern methods of communication to spread the Gospel message and also to work toward a greater Christian unity." —Archbishop Rino Fisichella, President, Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization, Vatican City, Rome
"Anthony DeStefano brings to life 'the hidden world God has created for us,' a world that surrounds us but is difficult for even the most convinced Christian to get in touch with, much less the seeker or non-believer. And he does this in a more vivid and realistic way than I would have thought possible. Angels, devils, and grace? DeStefano makes them almost visible. This is a wonderful, compelling book, completely consistent with traditional Christian teaching and common sense – and very, very readable." —Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, Weekly Standard
"Sadly, many people today are so materialistic in their thinking that they've forgotten that the most important things in life are unseen and spiritual. Love, honor, compassion, forgiveness, hope–all of these are invisible. Finally, there is a book that makes the whole invisible spiritual world come to life in the most extraordinary and vivid way. Anthony DeStefano's words will inspire even the most hardened and materialistic cynic to begin exploring a richer, fuller life based on faith in a God who is so good." —Delilah, Nationally Syndicated Radio Host
"I may not always agree with Anthony DeStefano, but there is no doubt he is a highly intelligent and witty writer; and assuming the existence of an invisible world, he has produced a very interesting and thought-provoking book about spirituality."—Vincent Bugliosi, author of Divinity of Doubt and 5 New York Times Bestsellers, including Helter Skelter
