Workflow using Photo Mechanic and Capture NX 2
I have my D90's image quality set to RAW and I don't think that will ever change. I have purchased both Capture NX 2 (Mac OS X) and Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete to post process and convert the NEF files. I absolutely love how Capture NX 2 works. It wouldn't hurt if it were faster though! Here's to hoping Capture NX 3 is released soon.
Anyway, I am leaning towards purchasing Photo Mechanic to ingest and manages the images. I know it integrates well with Capture NX 2. I also know that Photo Mechanic will have a robust catalog feature sometime by the end of this year. I can wait that long to get the cataloging feature since I won't have enough images to overload a manually maintained catalog.
I would love to hear how those of you using these two products together are managing your workflows today. Specifically, what do you have Photo Mechanic do and how do you set it up to do it.
#1. "RE: Workflow using Photo Mechanic and Capture NX 2" | In response to Reply # 0Tue 19-Jan-10 02:18 AM
I use Photo Mechanic as my ingester, browser and metadata editor. First of all, if you haven't found the Photo Mechanic Manual, you should download it from here. There is a section in there about the best settings to use for NX2 compatibility. Also, there is an excellent post by Hayo Baan that explains how to set up the color classes so that PM and NX2 will see the same thing.
When I ingest the pictures from a shoot, I will use the local stationery pad to apply my global metadata (name, copyright, etc.) as well as the general metadata that applies to the whole ingest, like location, main keywords, etc. Once the ingest is done, I will use PM's contact sheet to browse through the images and give a rating to the ones I want to work with further. I tend to use color classes rather than stars because I find the colors easier to spot when looking through a large contact sheet. I sometimes apply a different color to the ones I definitely want to delete. When I'm done with my first pass, I use the filter by color to select the ones to delete and delete them all at once.
The next part of my workflow depends on the type of shoot it was and how much extra post processing I intend to do. PM is key to my workflow for sports shooting. I will make a second pass through to do soft crops using that feature in PM. I then make a third pass through to identify the players in the selected images. I use an abbreviation to minimize typing. After that pass, I use another stationery pad that converts my abbreviations into code replacements for the player's full name and information in the appropriate format for my photo fulfillment site (ExposureManager). In one step, I get the player's name in the caption and their name and number in the keywords in a format that makes it searchable on my ExposureManager site. I then use PhotoMechanic to do a batch upload of the selected images to ExposureManager. During this upload, PM extracts the jpg from the nef, sizes it appropriately and converts it to sRGB. Later, when/if I get an order from a parent, the order identifies the image which I browse to in PM and then use PM to launch NX2. I do all the final image adjustments to the image and make it look its best in NX2. I will then either use NX2 to do a save-as to get a jpg or I will simply save the nef and then use PM to extract the updated, higher quality preview that NX2 wrote into the nef.
For my landscape shoots, I use the PM browser to select my keepers and add additional keywords to those images. Then I make a pass through launching NX2 from PM to do my final edits on the selected images. When I'm done with my edits, I use PM's web album feature to create a web album which I then upload to my personal web space to share with others. There's probably a way to get PM to upload the album, but I typically use Filezilla to upload the whole album to my webspace.
I'm looking forward to the cataloging feature that Camera Bits is working on. It has been discussed quite a bit on their forums, and Kirk Baker has said it is their top priority. I don't know when it will be out though. Photo Mechanic is a great application, and the support on their site is excellent. In my opinion combining PM with NX2 makes the workflow. If it weren't for PM, I would have probably gone to Lightroom a long time ago.

I have downloaded the Photo Mechanic software and have been playing with it to see how it works. Chris Sgaraglino has some videos on using Photo Mechanic that have helped quite a bit as well.
Based on what I have seen in regards to ingest, IPTC data, etc., I think Photo Mechanic is going to work quite well. I don't think I care that there is no cataloging feature as of yet. I don't know that I will take enough pictures that it will matter. The search abilities built-in to Photo Mechanic are good and Spotlight on the Mac can be used for more sophisticated searches.
I need to be diligent about filling out the IPTC data. I need to use meaningful names and appropriately populate the keyword field.
I am going to purchase Photo Mechanic.... it should be fun!

When I look at Baan's post, I don't see any info on what he did. There's a statement to the effect 'here's what I did', but there's nothing that elaborates on that.
What am I missing? Thanks.
#11. "RE: Baan's Post?" | In response to Reply # 10Tue 26-Jan-10 08:56 PM
I thought the same thing. But then I remembered that some forums are setup so only registered members can see included images. I signed up for an account then I could see the two images that Hayo Baan included.
Basically, the key point made was that you had to setup Photo Mechanic to "Synchronize Color Class with IPTC/XMP Urgency field" which is done in the "General" tab under "Preferences".
That worked for me.

I would just add a touch to Danny's useful comments above. In my case, ratings are used for quality, while colors are used for stages of processing. The latter means copying archived nef files to specific mirror folders dedicated to post-processing. I change the file names to signify that, and then proceed through stages of processing, first running an initial batch to get the basics in place (thanks to Jason Odell for starting pointers on this)and as I'm happier with each image, the color class rises a notch until finished with level 8--the highest in the PM system (you must keep the names and colors the same with PM and NX2). Three of the colors are designated as tags in my system, just so I can identify several images that are related in some way so as to keep them linked until deciding which is best, what to do with them, etc. Then the winners proceed up the color classes.
I also use the stationary pad to save lists in several of the categories. That provides a pseudo-cataloging function if one is consistent. You don't need to keep typing the same stuff repeatedly if you can obtain items from lists. I even swap copyright info., since my wife also uses the system.

Photo Mechanic is a great program. I use it primarily to ingest images, change file names, add IPTC, add ratings (which flow directly to NX2), and delete images I am not going to post process.
Consider taking the Photo Mechanic webinar on Nikonians. This will only add to your comprehension.

Okay, I think I intruded enough in that cataloging thread so I'm back to this one.
I was inspired by TiggerGTO (Danny) to really figure out the power of Photo Mechanic for photograph ingestion.
I have Photo Mechanic setup so that it will rename my photographs using the YYYYMMDD_HHMMSSss.nef structure. It will place the renamed files in a directory structure as follows:
MyLibraryPhoto Mechanic will create any part of the directory structure in the "MyLibrary" space that it needs to. In other words, I don't have to do anything when ingesting photos other than setting the "Event Name" and filling out the IPTC data which includes keywording. As each month and year comes along, it will create the proper directories in the proper place.
YYYYMMDD Event Name
I think a chronological storage structure is the best way to proceed. Trying to use the file system to categorize my photo library is a big mistake. When I need to find a photo, I will either have to know the date I shot it or rely on IPTC data to find it. When Photo Mechanic does come out with their cataloging software, I will be well situated to use it.
Now all I have to do is consistently and completely fill out the IPTC fields and good at keywording properly and quickly. Well, that and start taking lots of photographs!

Okay, how do you folks use the stars and colors in Photo Mechanic?
#9. "RE: Stars and Colors...." | In response to Reply # 8JonK Nikonian since 03rd Jul 2004Sat 23-Jan-10 12:03 AM
For me it depends on what kind of shoot I'm editing. If the shoot has several subjects — different kinds of birds on a bird shoot, several actors in a play, etc. — I usually use the colors to label each subject and the stars for ranking. That way, after a few passes at all of the shots, I can view by one color at a time to compare shots of a single subject.

#17. "RE: Stars and Colors...." | In response to Reply # 8Wed 27-Jan-10 12:55 PM
I pretty much use colors only, because I find them easier to see when looking at a large contact sheet. I typically make a pass through my pictures marking the keepers with 1 (red) and the trash with 8 (magenta, I think). The trash is stuff that is out of focus or has serious defects that can not be fixed, like sports pictures where there is too much motion blur or another player obstructed the picture. After doing that pass, I select only the magentas and get rid of them.
After that I typically don't do much more with the colors. If it is a sports shoot, I'll make one more pass of the reds to add soft crops and metadata using PM's code replacement. Then I'll select all the red's, and upload them to my Exposure Manager site for players and parents to view making sure to check the apply crop box. I suppose I could change the red to whatever maps to 2 after I do any NX2 editing on a picture. However, NX2 tends to overwrite the setting if I don't change it in PM at the right time, so I tend to skip changing reds to something else for sports pictures. For landscapes and nature shots which tend to be smaller in number and more selective, I usually manage the color tags a little more carefully and set the reds to something else after doing the NX2 edit. If I have a bracketed set for HDR or a pano, I might mark the set with green or yellow to visually group them in the contact sheet.
I hope I haven't jumped around too much with this description and made a confusing mess out of it.

The responses from Gary, Danny, and Jon regarding the stars and color system have been thought provoking.
I think I will use the stars to rate the photographs and the color system for whatever marking system I need at the time. I see the star ratings being permanent and the color labels being cleared once done with a photograph or set of photographs. That means a photo with any color label is not finished.
Can you setup Photo Mechanic to set a default color class on ingest?

Danny and others have described a nice system for using the color ratings. I would add one other feature - the use of tags. I use tags similar to Danny's red. After, I have ingested photos I will select all and go to slideshow to get a full screen look at each photo. Stepping through the photos, I can "tag" keepers simply by pressing the + key (or untag with the - key. I may make more than one pass, but the idea is to eliminate unwanted photos. I can then simply select the untagged photos and delete. Now I can go back and begin to rate the keepers. I tend to use the stars because I like to color code anything I have processed in NX2 with Red because it is very easy to see. I use color ratings for other reason, but Red is reserved for post-processed images.
#21. "RE: Stars and Colors...." | In response to Reply # 20Fri 29-Jan-10 09:49 PM
Yes, I plan to use tags to weed out obvious throwaways. I could do this either prior to ingesting or after.
For example, prior to ingesting, I will open a contact sheet showing all photos on the card. I will run through and tag the photos I think I want to trash. Then I will change the display to show only tagged photos. Then I will verify that I want to throw the tagged photos away. Once that is done, I will delete the photos still tagged and then ingest.

This is a great thread. I am relatively new to this and trying to find my way along the twisting turning road. There are many possibilities and solutions out there, and it can be confusing and costly to decide upon the best solution that meets ones needs.
Could someone explain what the shortfall of using Nikon Transfer to do some of things that Photomechanic seems to do?
#23. "RE: Workflow using Photo Mechanic and Capture NX 2" | In response to Reply # 22Tue 09-Feb-10 06:45 PM
Many people do use Nikon Transfer for this part of the workflow. After all, the price is right
Photo Mechanic is much more functional. I'd have to say that it is about the best application there is for ingesting, metadata editing, browsing, rating, sorting and uploading that there is. It is fast, very functional and works extremely well with Capture NX2. It can extract the preview jpg from the nef file, so you do not need to run conversions from NX2. It can produce web albums and upload them or individual photos directly to many of the various photo sites. Their support forum is very active and one of their key developers answers questions and problem reports daily. The only downside to PM is that it is not cheap, but I feel you definitely get a lot of value for your money.

I want to echo that this has been a great thread. It seems one of the key features of PM is that it integrates with NX2 in that the colours and ratings are compatible and PM is able to read NEFs that have been processed by NX2.
So here is a loaded question (and hopefully not hijacking the thread): at better than half the price, is Imatch as good? I've got a trial version installed and so far it looks OK. Would it do more or less the same as described by Danny and others?
#25. "RE: Workflow using Photo Mechanic and Capture NX 2" | In response to Reply # 24Thu 11-Feb-10 01:14 AM | edited Thu 11-Feb-10 01:17 AM by TiggerGTO
My understanding is that IMatch is more of a cataloging program. Photo Mechanic is a front end program for ingesting, browsing, keywording, etc. It has some search capabilities, but you must search a folder or hierarchy of folders. Unless I am wrong, IMatch is a cataloging program designed to maintain a database of your images so that you can quickly search and find specific images wherever they exist in your collection of images. The database stores the keywords and other metadata along with the image location. If it is like other cataloging programs, it even stores a preview of the image so that you can see what the image is even if it is not currently accessible (i.e. on an external drive that is not connected).
So to get a complete workflow from ingesting, keywording, sorting and browsing (PM), editing (NX2) and cataloging (IMatch), you could use all three programs together. I have never really investigated IMatch, so I may be wrong about some if its capabilities, but I do know that it is intended to be a cataloging application.
Edited to add: Here's a recent thread talking about cataloging applications including IMatch.

A belated thanks Danny for this information on PM versus iMatch. What you are saying matches what I'm learning while I use trial versions of these two and ACDSee.
Just this morning I have learned that ACDSee will only use the embedded jpg in a NEF for the purposes of viewing the thumbnail or viewing the image full screen. It will not use the embedded thumbnail for save as jpg or upload to web or send via email, etc. Instead, it uses its own "develop" utility (raw converter).
This is a pain because in my workflow I want to use and stay with the Capture NX2 raw converter. So a negative point for ACDSee and, gathering from your comments on PM, a big plus for PM.

>Could someone explain what the shortfall of using Nikon
>Transfer to do some of things that Photomechanic seems to do?
While I agree with all the good said about PhotoMechanics (including virtual one on one assistance from them) when I assesed their trial copy I found that most of the powerful features it had would not be used by me and some of the features I was looking for were not there.
Thus, I have continued to use Nikon's (free) ViewNX which, for my purpose, does what I would have used PM to do. A point I do like about VNX is that when I SAVE an edited pic from NX2 I just press Alt-Tab (of course with both programs running) and I can immediately see a full screen image with ALL my NX2 edits reflected. Also for small tweaks to RAW files where NX2 may not be needed I just use VNX's array of editing tools.
I am aware that VNX cannot further manipulate or convert the saved NX2 image(s) and I am hoping that future upgrades will at least rectify this.

I've known how I have wanted this chapter to go for ages but I just havent been able to write it down well enough until now. I hope this will suffice
Chapter 22 – What Lies Beneath (Part 1)
After what seemed like an eternity of being forced to walk through the forest on my twisted ankle, we arrived at the outskirts of the Island village. I'd exhausted myself in the forest just trying to stay upright and had lost the will to fight Trench's grip so I decided to gin and bear the pain to see where he was taking me.
In front of us stood the back of a rural bungalow on the very edge of the settlement. No light came from inside; either no one was home or it was abandoned. At least, that was what it was supposed to look like.
Clutching my arm behind my back he pulled me closer and whispered "You going to cause trouble?"
I wanted to think of something smart to say back to him but it never came so I reassured him with a convincing "No."
Still clutching my arm he pulled it back from behind me and put it over his shoulders to help me walk. At the time I figured he'd felt guilty but that wasn't the case.
"Open it." He said.
Seeing nothing but a large bush in front of me I asked the logical question.
"Open what?" Just as soon as the words had left my lips, the bush separated into two revealing a set of steps leading underground. Looking closer with the help of light coming from below, I could faintly see the outlines of his two pokemon that blended so well into the night, holding the bush apart.
With Trench's aid I hobbled forwards, down the stairs and through an empty doorway to the right. We entered a room filled to the brim with computers great and small; the sound of typing on a keyboard filled the air whilst discarded pieces of paper littered the floor. Among them was a blonde-haired girl in her mid-twenties with her hair tied into a single ponytail squatting against a mammoth machine to our left, tinkering with its insides and not even noticing our presence.
A curly redhead turned his head from studying a bookcase on our right. He looked only a few years older than me and his face was badly bruised and his left arm hung loosely in a sling.
The third, a brunette with a slight quiff and rounded oval glasses was fast at work typing numbers and letters onto a screen and after a quick glance, carried on with what he was doing.
"Oh good – you're back" The redhead smiled to Trench, it dropping when he caught sight of me limping beside him.
"-What took you so long?!" The blonde cried, rising up from the floor. "We don't exactly have much time to sp-"
"-They went to the old lab on One. We've got a while." Trench interrupted.
"Fine." The woman huffed. "But be quick – I don't like this." Trench grunted and released his grip on my arm. Then, without realising how much I was relying on him to stand up, I put my bad leg to the floor, making my leg buckle from the pain causing me to fall to the floor with it.
As I cursed at him again, the girl turned and gasped before kneeling down to help me sit up. "Crowe, what the hell are you doing?!" She yelled, checking me over for an injury. "...Are you okay?"
"Don't act like you lot didn't just drag me here, what do you want?" I demanded, pushing the girls hand away from my ankle.
him here?!" The redhead asked 'Crowe' quite angrily.
"Technically I pushed. But he was
to the police." He shrugged, leaning against the vacant doorframe.
The two exchanged worried looks with the brunette who had stopped typing on his laptop.
For a moment I thought that they could be in league with the Rockets but then it occurred to me that we wouldn't have had to stay hidden at the factory if that was the case.
you people?" I asked, getting mixed signals as to their intentions.
"Friends."The brunette said, rising from his seat.
"Friends?! Ha!" I laughed. "That's what
this guy
said before he twisted my ankle!" I cried, pointing with my thumb to the man behind me formally known as Trench.
"Okay, okay, why don't we all just take a breather?" He said, approaching the group. "Crowe, I think you should make yourself scarce – why don't you go on patrol duty or something."
And just like that Crowe silently disappeared up the steps and out of sight. The brunette pulled me over a chair and put it against the nearby wall before helping me up onto it.
"Beebs, can you fix him up?"
The blonde girl nodded and pulled out a first aid kit from in between two wall-height computers and began rummaging around inside it. "Sorry about him – Crowe I mean." She began, rolling my trouser leg up to get a better look at my ankle which was now red-raw. "He's my brother, although you wouldn't think it…"
"Beebs, we're being rude. Celio Browne, nice to meet you."The brunette said, extending his hand towards me. A gesture which I made a point of ignoring.
"Bebe." The blonde girl piped up, putting the finishing touches on a bandage she was wrapping around my ankle.
"And this is Bill." Celio continued, pulling up a chair beside me as the redhead summoned up a smile. "You want to know what we want? Well, in all honesty... we need a favour."
I huffed, thinking that we must of had different definitions of the word.
And I suppose if I don't help you with this 'favour' then you'll get Mr. Trenchcoat out there to set his pokemon on me again?"
"No,no." Celio replied, seeming genuinely shocked. "You're free to get up and leave anytime; we just wanted the chance to talk to you before you went to the police. Don't worry, you can trust us."
I looked closely at the three faces, trying to decipher from their expressions if they were telling the truth or not. Could I trust them? They had freed me from the Rockets and given me my pokemon back, but I'd also had my ankle twisted and been abducted...again.
"...So what is this favour?" I asked, almost dreading the reply.
Celio sighed.
"We want you to go back onto the Rockets' boat and pretend you're still their hostage -"
"-What?! No way!"
"We only want you to listen out for any information that will help us. Crowe will stay close by to keep you safe-"
"-Safe? You call
safe?!" I yelled, lifing up my bandaged ankle."Forget it! I don't trust him - in fact, I don't trust any of you! And why do you need me to do this when your little lapdog out there is obviously more capable of doing this by himself?"
"Because you're involved now!" Celio bellowed, slamming his fist against a desk as he rose to his feet. "I'm sorry and believe me, I wish you weren't, but the fact of the matter is that you
involved and we need to make the best of the current situation."
"That's a lie." I said, pulling myself upright using the wall to keep my balance. "This has nothing to do with me. And like you said, I can just walk away."
"Don't you see? People will get hurt - you
walk away, you need to do this. It's your responsibility - why don't you care?!"
As I stumbled along the side of the room to the steps, a combination of rage, hatred and sadness bubbled up inside of me, something that I hadn't ever let surface before.
"Oh let me see... My parents were murdered, I alienated my sister, watched as people died in an explosion that
could've stopped, I was beaten up,
and almost starved to death. So tell me; what have I got left? Why am I
to care?!"
"-Because this is all
father's fault!"
"What did you say?!" I cried, turning around and pushing Celio up against the wall with what little strength I had left. For a few seconds there was silence, I had to process what was just said, replaying it in my mind to make sure I didn't mishear.
"He meddled with something we told him to leave well-enough alone. If it wasn't for him, none of this would even be happening!"
"-Stop it!" Bebe cried, pushing the two of us apart and standing in the space between.
I stumbled backwards and caught onto Bill's right arm to steady myself, but before I knew it my legs gave way and I collapsed in a mess on the floor, physically exhausted. Confused and angry, tears streamed down my face.
What had my father done? Was he involved with the Rockets? Why was he really killed?
I couldn't answer any of the questions.
"Celio stop it." Bill said, kneeling down to try and help me in some way. "It's not right to put the blame on him – He hasn't done anything wrong. Don't make him do this; he doesn't know what his father did."
"No... No I don't." I sniffed, wiping my eyes. "But please tell me - I want to know everything."
After April left, I went back into the examination room to finish up my call to Ivy but instead we ended up chatting for ages - we hadn't spoken properly or had a catch-up since I was last home. Ivy told me of her daring experiments and endeavouring research, leaving out all the things that had blown up in her face (which is usually alot), while I told her of everything that had happened on my journey so far, trying to leave out the frightening parts but sadly there was no way around Sandshrew's death.
Talking about it still left me with a gaping hole in my gut but I was determined to move on from the subject, hastily changing the subject and tightening my scarf to try and keep my bandaged neck from showing.
After she realised that I didn't want to dwell on the subject, Ivy, like me, was fascinated by the egg I held in my arms. Having studied with Professor Elm, the leading expert on pokemon breeding, for many years, she was quite adept at identifying the species of pokemon simply by the markings on the shell. I protested that she didn't tell me what was inside, but she insisted that something wasn't as it seemed. She rambled something about possible regional differences before returning to the real world.
A small blinking on the top right of the screen had been annoying me throughout the whole call but I hadn't the slightest idea what it meant.
"It means you have a message." Ivy said, shuffling through various pieces of paper on her desk. "There's a button on the side of the monitor - press it."
I did as I was told and the image on the screen split into two panels, Ivy on one side and a list marked 'Inbox' on the other. I had two messages; the first was from mum asking me how everything was going and was dated a week ago (Oops!), and the second was from someone I wasn't expecting - Robin.
Selecting the message I was met with a loud "Hiiiiiiiiiiii!" Nurse Joy looked in through the glass with a look that was a cross between confusion and concern on her face before returning to help the queue of people that had suddenly appeared.
Robin was stood in the foreground of a shop, dressed in a pokemart apron in front of a window that looked out onto what looked like a very well-kept park with flowers blooming in every available space. Courtney was close by, both of them looking healthy and back to their old selves which, by itself, put a smile on my face.
"Now Stalker, since you like, totally saved our lives back in Cerulean-"
"-even though you were rude and didn't say bye-"
"we figured that we owe you a little bit."
"Soooo, we've sent you and April all-access passes to the show at the new Dome in Fuschia City!" Courtney cried.
"We know we're being super-duper generous, but don't worry about it, you can give us the difference later."
"So yeah, when you get here just print off the tickets and you're like, good to go!"
"-Hey girls - Get back to work!" Came a voice from behind the camera.
"Uh-oh, gotta go!"
I looked at the screen blankly. Not knowing what the 'Dome' was or what show they were referring to, but sure enough there was an attachment with two tickets in, ready to be printed.
of yours?" Ivy asked slyly.
"Oh shut up, they're the girls we helped in Cerulean... How'd they get my number?"
"Every phone is linked to the PC system in some way. It's like a big phonebook; you can search for someone with a registered Trainer ID - it makes communicating on the go and trading with other trainers alot easier."
"Oh that's cool, so can i fin-" I stopped mid-sentence as the screen lit up. I had a new message.
"Someone's popular." Ivy remarked. "Who's it from this time?"
I looked at the message, it was marked as from 'Unknown'. Curious, I opened it.
The image was grainy and the sound was muffled, it looked like an old video that someone had taped over. There was a woman with black hair wearing a red hairband across her forehead, dressed in a full-length kimono of the same colour. She seemed quite distressed but I couldn't make out much of what she was saying.
"April.... I need.... help.
...Adam ....weeks...
Please! Come... bad feeling..."
The screen became too grainy to make anything out and 'End of Message' appeared on screen.
Whoever she was, she knew both of the siblings and something was most definitely wrong. But the question remained;
if this message was meant for April then why did I get it?
"Alex? Alex what's wrong?" Ivy asked, seeing my blank expression. "What was that message about?"
"Its.. well.. I-I've got to go - speak to you later!" I said hastily turning the monitor off and cutting off Ivy's cries of protest mid-sentence.
Something wasn't right, I looked at the clock - April should've been back by now. I had to find her and show her the message so I ran from the room and checked the foyer. Apart from a now diminished queue of people and Nurse Joy, the place was empty.
Without saying goodbye I ran out into the dark of the night. People were still lesiurely walking along the main road in the safety of the streetlamps, but there was no sign of her. I ran ahead through a maze of darkened alleys headed towards the port but when I reached the seafront I was confronted with a large metal fence. It stretched as far as I could see, and although the fence was scaleable, I would've been stopped by the spikes lining the top.
Frustrated, I clutched a pokeball from my belt and threw it high into the air, releasing Swablu in a flash of white. She hovered in the air, sensing something was wrong.
"Swablu, I need you to go and have a look for April in the docks - Please hurry!" I cried, watching as she propelled herself through the air looking like a pice of wool in the wind.
I waited in what seemed like an industrial estate - a place where I was surrounded by large, corregated metal factories. Looking around, one in particular caught my eye. The front of the factory had two lightning bolts painted on it, crossing each other and forming an X above the entrance whereas written just below it was the word 'GYM'.
Touching the rusty metal I wondered if this really was the gym; there was no light coming from inside and the area didn't exactly look like it had been busy anytime in the past.
Suddenly I heard a series of loud explosions behind me. I turned to see smoke pouring outwards from a massive cruise ship docked closeby, inscinctivly I covered my eyes as a cloud of smoke engulfed me.
"Swablu!" I cried out, slowly stammering forwards.
Carefully, I opened my eyes. A howl echoed through the air just before a dark figure appeared in front of me, hidden in the smoke. It was big, on four legs and coming straight in my direction. Right then I knew that if this was the thing that did all that to a huge boat - I was a dead man.
It was a warm evening in Vermillion City; the smells of the sea floated in the breeze and the cobbled streets were filled with people, most of them leisurely heading for the comfort of home after a long day's work. The brightness of the night sky was dimished by the illuminations of the city, with only a few stars dotted about the empty space above.
April moved quicker than most in the crowd, eager to see first-hand the world-famous ship she had always dreamt of taking a voyage upon. Arriving at the port she quickly located the dock she was looking for – a raised, stone platform made of smooth grey slate that had been pieced together with the utmost care and precision. A dock fit for royalty no less.
She ascended the steps leading up to the dock and when she reached the top of the platform she could see a slow stream of passengers disembarking. She gazed in awe of the beautiful suits and glamourous dresses shimmering in the moonlight from a distance as they disembarked for the night, only to be confronted by a man dressed in a white Navy uniform.
"Sorry Madam – passengers only." He said, extending an arm.
"But – oh please, I really want to see it up close."
"Rules are rules kid." He said again, standing firm.
Knowing she wouldn't be changing his mind anytime soon, April turned away disheartened, descending the steps. Just as she disappeared from the Nay officer's line of sight, a man carrying a net of fish bumped into her. After apologizing with a grunt, the man proceeded to walk down a set of wooden steps adjacent to the dock. April was surprised she hadn't seen this before and even though she felt in her gut that she shouldn't, she followed the man down the creaky set of steps.
At the bottom she found that the wooden platform was much larger than she'd anticipated , built underneath the stone platform and around the columns that held it up. People were busily rushing about; fishermen, sailors –everyone had a job to do.
The smell of gutted fish was overpowering and a salty, wet muck coated the wood underneath – this place was
meant for royalty.
April ducked and dived through the oncoming people with cries of
"watch it!"
filling the air as they collided again and again. The fishermen were clearly locals with that gruff accent that Vermillions are famous for whereas the sailors had an accent all their own that seemed to be an amalgamation from all the different places they had been.
After narrowly escaping the barrage of dock workers, April found herself in an area filled with crates twice the height of her, stacked on top of another. Walking through the area felt like navigating a maze but eventually she came face to face with the base of vessel itself.
The ship's crew were hard at work unloading luggage and yet more crates to add to the maze through a large, rectangular door in the base of the ship. Some of them were not even in uniform, giving April the perfect chance to slip through unnoticed.
Just as she was about to take her first step towards the boat a familiar face walked past her and into the cargo hold of the boat. The man with shockingly bright blonde hair wore a white uniform with many military badges attached to it. April recognised the man's face from Adam's first gym battle – Lt. Surge.
Suddenly thoughts of Alex passed through her mind – he was looking for the gym leader and the last place he'd look would be the harbour. But she was conflicted – she wouldn't get the chance to see the SS Anne again. It was then she saw something that would make up her mind for her.
A woman with blood-red hair in a similar white uniform followed the gym leader into the bowels of the cargo hold. The same woman April saw on the night her family was torn apart.
The same woman who murdered her parents.
Without thinking about her actions for even a second, April strode forwards, following the woman into the bowels of the ship.
Inside, luggage was tied into clusters; ready to be wheeled out at any second whereas further back, things that were staying on board for lengthier periods of time were stored securely. She passed cars, crates and even artefacts that were centuries old but she didn't give any of them so much as an inquisitive glance. Instead she was focused on the woman in front of her, her high-heeled shoes echoing throughout the open space with every step she took.
Suddenly, light was cut from the cargo hold with an almighty creaking noise. The Loading door had been shut, leaving April in complete darkness. For a moment she panicked, but hearing the echo of heels against the cold floor made her realise that she still knew exactly where she had to go.
Using her hands as a guide, she navigated the twists and turns with ease, the rough, wooden crates feeling more and more like the cold smoothness of metal with every step. Angry and scared, her breathing became heavy and fast.
The footsteps stopped in front of her for a fraction of a second before continuing on as normal. Realising she had been heard, April backed up against a metal crate, putting both hands to her mouth to try and silence herself.
Ahead of her the woman picked up a metal object and carried on walking a few yards.
April tried to regulate her breathing and calm herself down, she thought she had gotten away with it.
Suddenly the woman turned sharply, swinging a pole she had picked up against the metal crates creating an almighty clang. The crates suddenly lit up the entire area with an intense, bright flickering light. April turned around to see that the metal crates weren't crates at all, but cages with pokemon trapped inside. From what she could tell, they were all electric types screaming to be let out and frightened at the sudden noise.
Footsteps came towards her.
Out of the corner of her eye April could see the woman's red hair, slanted nose, menacing eyes and the long metal pole she was carrying in her hand. She confidently strode through the isle of cages behind April, clearly on the lookout for someone.
She stopped on the corner beside April, looking around the immediate area slowly. Just centimetres away, April held her breath and shut her eyes tightly, reaching for her pokeballs - sure she was going to get caught until a voice cried;
"Over here."
Turning back to the direction she was facing before, she grunted viciously, throwing the pole to the floor and then proceeding towards the origin of the voice.
After waiting a few seconds longer, April gasped for breath and glanced inside the cage she was leaning on. A small, blue and black pokemon with a yellow tip on its tail was passed out from hunger or exhaustion, she didn't want to think about which.
Looking around, the cages were filled with pokemon she had never seen before, all electric types that had been illegally smuggled in appalling conditions, she couldn't bring herself to look at them. After composing herself, April slowly crawled forward two isles to an empty cage, being careful not to spook any of the already riled up pokemon into giving away her location.
Through the bars two figures stood side by side. Surge's muscular arms were folded, standing beside the woman looking quite content.
"So what do you think?"
"They'll work perfectly."
She smiled sadistically, kicking a bar of a large cage in front of her containing a few Electrode.
"Get them to Mahogany when you can."
April clutched a pokeball on her belt, barely able to contain her anger. She wished she had gone back to get
the police or at least spoken to Alex whilst she could, but there was noone here, noone to help her. She was outnumbered if she tried to do anything.
Then, for some reason, among the cages she was drawn towards a small yellow pokemon with blue cheeks crying out for help. It was alot more active than the other pokemon around it, trying to squeeze its way through the bars whereas the others looked like they had given up trying. It then hit her - she wasn't alone. April knelt to the floor and began pulling at the small cage, trying to levy it open. The pokemon looked at her, confused but still adopting a hostile pose, trying to figure out if she was friend or foe.
Suddenly she heard a footstep behind her - "Found you."
Catch 'em, catch 'em, gotta catch 'em all; gotta catch 'em all - Pokemon!

Tiplet, Tip Calc/Life Coach
Pointless Software
- December 20, 2010
( 14)
Most tip calculators add 15% to a bill and call it a day. Tiplet will produce an exact tip based on a series of dimensions, including wealth, relationship status, fame and more.
Includes a lame standard tip calculator for people who are too busy to answer the questions.
This application collects anonymous usage statistics to help improve functionality.
Would be nice if it displayed just the tip amount. Math is hard.
Useful One of the most useful apps I've installed!
Pretty funny. Maybe in the future it could store some of my answers? (Not much chance of me getting 5000 Facebook friends any time soon.)
Funny. Wont use it as a tip calc but will use it for kicks on friends sometimes.
Super funny! Way more fun then a normal tip app
To many stupid questions

When I click on "Install" or "Details" or "View Version x for details" the pop up window doesn't contain anything. Just blank. I deactivated all plug-ins and the problem remains. I switch back to my previous theme and the problem goes away and all is normal. Switch back to Magazine Basic and the problem returns. Happens in plug-in page and add new plug-in page. Other than that the theme seems to work fine for everything else I do.

Друзья, в
наступающем году желаю вам внутреннего огня - силы и желания дерзать, менять,
пробовать, творить, осмыслять, радоваться, восхищаться, вдохновлять, любить,
свершать, веселиться, кайфовать.
Желаю разворачивать свой потенциал вверх, в
ширь и не останавливаться!
Хочется обратить внимание тех, кого интересует тема парных отношений, к великолепному сериалу про Шиву и Сати. На мой взгляд, в нем очень тонко даны некоторые ключи к гармоничным парным отношениям.
I invite people who speak neither Russian nor Ukrainian but speak
English, those who are interested in deep understanding of their self and
personal evolution, to come to my 'Yoga
in English' classes. I teach yoga in the way that I've been practicing for
about 14 years.
Our yoga practice consists of:
- work with physical (Sthula Sharira) and
vital (Prana Sharira) bodies. There are a
number of instruments that we use for this work: asanas, kriyas, bandhas,
sukshma vyayama and pranayamas, and their effect is much better when we
understand the theory of their operation;
- study of cleansing method for taking care of health and finding one's
personal way of healthy nutrition;
- work with emotions (Linga Sharira) by
studying body language, learning principles of energy interaction between
people, understanding the methods of chakras developing and mediations.
The principles that I teach are aimed at working on oneself not only on the mat
but also beyond it.
When: We start from November the 9th
and shall be meeting every Monday from 7:30 until 9:30 p.m. Please come 15
minutes before the class to have enough time to change clothes and get prepared
for your practice. We work in the group once per week, and I recommend that you
do hatha yoga yourself at least one time in between our classes.
Where: The classes are held
in Podol, in just 5-minute walk from Kontraktova Ploshcha metro station, at 12,
Kyrylivska (Frunze) str., 2nd floor, in "Yoga Zal". Please see the
map to learn the route.
Right after entering the building please dial up "1" on the entry phone
(wall-mounted on the left). Having heard the sound of door opening, please come
inside, turn left and take the stairs up to the second floor. There you will
see a lilac door. Please enter inside, turn right and then turn left to the next
lilac door. There is a changing room there and our homelike gym where we shall have
our classes.
Needful things: You need a
yoga mat; if you don't have one yet, please let me know so that I could provide
you with a mat in the gym. Take comfortable clothes: a t-short and a sport
jacket, leggings or yoga-trousers and socks. In addition, I recommend that you
have a notebook and a pen for putting down new information.
The number of people in classes: Now we are going to start a group holding not more than six people; that
is why registration for classes is required.
How much: the fee is 600 UAH per month; your trial class can be paid
About the teacher, Marina Kuptsova: I have been practicing yoga since 2002. My teacher is an outstanding
person, a philosopher and esoteric, Andrey Safronov (for learning more about
him please read his blog YOGA SUTRAS: Commentary by a Modern Mystic http://yoga-sutra-comment-eng.blogspot.com/ and his book "Yoga: Physiology, Psychosomatics,
Bioenergetics" https://zimmu-en.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/book/236/Yoga-safronof.pdf.)
travelled around India many times, aimed at learning more about yoga tradition.
I studied yoga with modern masters in Mysore Bharath Shetty and Sri Yogachari Chidananda. I took lessons of Sanskrit from
Pandit Vagish Shastri. While traveling India I was getting a deeper
understanding of Indian culture that gave birth to yoga I'm in love with.
I have two degrees in modern disciplines that are very close to yoga darshana:
I studied Psychology and Physical Rehabilitation. Besides I am enriching
my understanding of Yoga Therapy by learning from
my colleagues, doctors and yoga-therapists Elena Akhramieieva and
Nataliya Kravets. You can find their articles at http://yogatherapy.com.ua/?page_id=1260&lang=en. I've been also learning from my teammates, the
instructors of Ukrainian Federation of Yoga http://www.yoga.net.ua/eng.html.
been teaching yoga since 2008. Currently I am teaching yoga in Russian-speaking
classes for students of different levels and give yoga seminars for them. I proceed
with personal education by studying new things about the World, by getting new
skills and continuing my personal evolution.
My life is a journey and Yoga is my

Do Not Ever Buy a home with HOMETOWN AMERICA! The biggest rip-off/scam in LONGMONT CO!
All I've been asking for since 2005 is to no longer increase my land rent yearly. I even requested a hardship after loosing my job in 2007 and stayed unemployeed for 18 months. They still denied my request for no increase. The greedy fat-cats could really care less about the "owners" of homes in their communities. They'd rather force the original homeowners out to rent them to "less than desirables".
Again - Do Not Ever Buy a home with HOMETOWN AMERICA! Rip-off, money hungry corporation that is forcing single mothers, low income seniors and young families from their homes in order to continue to line their wallets.
I plan to walk away from my home in the next 18 months if I can not find a buyer. I've had 2 cash offers but HOMETOWN AMERICA would not negotiate the land rent6 with the new buyer and the deals were killed. Thanks HOMETOWN!

Internships at startups: an alternative to MBAs
Posted on 05. Feb, 2014 by tobymorning in blog, Classes, Colearn, Coworking, Detroit, Funding, SOMA, startup camp, Startups
Don't waste your money doing an MBA.
Get an internship instead.
Wanna be an entrepreneur? It takes more than just passion and desire. You need real skills to succeed, but where do you get them? A surprising number of people think that they should do an MBA. I don't blame them. After all, universities invest a significant amount of effort convincing potential students that getting an MBA is a good idea. The cruel reality, though, is that MBA programs tend to be terrible at teaching entrepreneurship and, in particular, tech entrepreneurship. They are slow, expensive, include too much theory and not enough practice, and, more importantly, they are taught by people that have not been entrepreneurs themselves. Fortunately, there is a better alternative: Internships at tech startups. Here is why:
MBAs are about enterprise-level management while internships can be about entrepreneurship. The skills required to manage and be part of a 5,000 person company are different than the skills required to start and grow a company. In fact, enterprise-level management techniques may negatively affect the chances of success of your future startups. For example, using balance scorecards[1] and KPIs may be great for companies in advanced stages of growth, but they are an overkill for startups at the MVP stage.
Internships provide more hands-on knowledge than MBAs. While an MBA program will teach you a lot of theory, an internship will allow you to learn [a fraction of] that theory put to practice, plus many more techniques that are not taught in MBAs.
Internships are faster than MBAs. An MBA program lasts between one and two years. In contrast, you can do two or four internships in just one year. Don't have a year? No problem. If you're a fast learner, interning for six months may be enough.
Internships are less expensive than MBAs. Top MBA programs cost more than $100,000[2], not including living expenses. Internships cost 0. In fact, if you're lucky, you may get a paid internship. This means that instead of you paying to learn, you'll get paid to learn!
Assuming you want to do an internship already, these are some factors to keep in mind:
Intern at a startup with a team of less than 50 people. In a team of less than 50 you're likely to interact with the founders and managers making important decisions. You'll learn a lot from them. Also, you're likely to get exposure to many different areas of the business. In larger teams, you are likely to interact with low-level managers that joined the company later in the game and are not likely to be too entrepreneurial. Also, you may have to focus in just one area of the business, missing out on the big picture.
Intern at a startup that is making money and growing. When revenue and growth are achieved, you have a company with a real business model. You want to learn how they got there. Don't join a startup without a business model, a startup that is not making money, or a startup that is not growing, even if they have raised capital. Such companies may only teach you how to raise capital to subsidize the operation of a company, which is not sustainable. In fact, I recommend giving higher priority to bootstrapped companies.
Intern at a startup that is located in a tech innovation hub. You'll be able to attend plenty of networking events and meetups. The people you'll meet may change your life. I've met most of my co-founders at networking events. If in the US, I suggest startups in the Bay Area, New York City, and Boston. After all, it's not only what you know, but who you know.
Visas are not necessarily an issue. Depending on your nationality and the country of the startup, it may be technically illegal for you to work there. Fortunately, some startups won't care. Give the company the option to get paid in your country of origin as if you were an overseas contractor.
If possible, join a startup founded by a serial entrepreneur. Serial entrepreneurs, specially successful ones, have "been there and done that" several times. They are the equivalent of teachers with PhDs. These companies are more likely to follow successful, structured techniques that you will find useful in your future endeavors.
Target startups that don't offer internships. Although some startups proactively look for interns, some don't have the time do so. Find startups that you like and cold-email their founders. Messages like "Hey Joe. I'm willing to work for you for free just to learn from your wisdom" are very likely to grab the attention of the recipient. Even if only 10% of them reply, that's still a good conversion rate!
A final word: Getting an MBA is a good way of telling others that you like to follow the crowd.
Tech entrepreneurship is about innovation. Innovation means disruption. Innovation is doing things that others don't dare to do.

Product Manager, ELearning
Posted on 04. Sep, 2013 by tobymorning in Colearn, Detroit, Jobs
As CoLearn seeks to bring more of its educational offerings online, we need a business-oriented product lead who will guide the strategic development of online courses. The PM will be responsible for content, and lead a team with a designer, subject matter experts and several engineers.
What does this mean?
Long-form courses are the centerpiece of CoLearn business. With stand-alone programs covering topics ranging from digital marketing to web programming to user experience design, these ten- to sixteen-week courses are delivered in-person in COLEARN's target markets.
As CoLearn grows and encounters the constraints of classroom-based learning, we need to bring our core programs online. Initially, bringing content online will allow COLEARN to adopt a "flipped" classroom model, enabling students to watch and absorb course content online while maintaining a schedule of in-person discussion and project sessions at one of our campuses. With success, this hybrid model may pave the way for fully-online courses.
In addition, there is significant demand from CoLearn enterprise clients for interactive online content. In many cases, the programs requested by our clients are very similar to offline consumer-focused course content, and significant synergies may be found by combining online content development for the consumer and enterprise businesses into one team.
General Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with CoLearn senior management team and business unit owners to define and map out a product roadmap for bringing COLEARN's course content online. Understand the economics as well as instructional requirements of each course, and leverage this to build an informed plan.
- Translate that product roadmap into a backlog, and manage the day-to-day execution to launch the right product at the right time with the right quality.
- Collaborate with developers to design UX and wireframes. There will be some design resources available but it will be the PM's responsibility to excel at thinking through user interface workflows and getting functional designs implemented. It doesn't have to be beautiful, but people should love using it.
- Understand the customer, both individual students and enterprise clients. Spend time with the customer and use these insights to inform product decisions.
- Manage a diverse team including designers, content developers and software engineers. Keep the team focused on the goal while encouraging experimentation and fun.
- You have significant previous product management experience, including working directly with designers and engineers to ship the right product at the right time with the right quality.
- You understand the needs of the business. You design metrics with which to maintain focus and measure success.
- You exercise short-term pragmatism while maintaining long-term vision.
- You can motivate and inspire a team with diverse perspectives.
- Your analytical mind is combined with creativity and confidence to understand the challenges faced by online delivery and craft practical solutions.
Position is full-time in SF with competitive salary, stock options and great benefits. Benefits include: iPhone (or equivalent) + cell plan, Mac book Air, medical + dental insurance, MTA transit credit, and free COLEARN classes space permitting.

I cannot find the settings section/link. I am using 3.2.1 Please help!
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
I cannot find the settings section/link. I am using 3.2.1 Please help!
How do I allow comments on posts? I cannot find the "settings" "discussion" buttons / links. I am using 3.2.1
What settings?
Go to yourdomain.com/wp-admin
Look on the left. See the menu items? There be settings :D
click 'screen options' at the top right of your screen, that will open a menu which allows you to display the discussion panel
There is no "settings"! If I go to "edit post", the "screen options", a button for "discussion" is seen. But whenI click it, no opportunity to leave a comment is seen on the post.
If you don't have the options shown in the image, you are most likely not using an administrative account.
The thing is I AM using an Admin account (I am one of 3). My menu in 3.2.1 does NOT have a "settings" link.
And I don't know how to put a screenshot in this reply / post box!!!
Do you have access to the Plugins and Themes sub-menus?
Also, what theme are you running?
Yes, I have access to Plugins and Themes sub-menus. I'm running Titan 1.25 by The Themes Foundry.
Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
- resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
Just for the heck of it, log into your site, and then in the browser bar, try; //www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
What happens? Are there any error messages of any kind, or does it open the page for you?
No error messages. It opens the page.
Do as esmi suggested above.

Golden Gaytime
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Golden Gaytime (Cookie Crumble in New Zealand) is a popular ice cream snack, made and distributed by the Streets confectionery company in Australia, and first released in 1959.[1] It is a toffee and vanilla ice-cream dipped in compound chocolate and wrapped in honeycomb biscuits, on a wooden popsicle-stick. Its name has survived intact despite the possible homosexual connotations in modern decades.[2]
As of 4 August 2015, Streets has announced the release of Golden Gaytime ice-cream tub format in addition to its usual popsicle stick format.
The company appears to embrace the camp name by retaining the tagline from the 1980s, "It's hard to have a Gaytime on your own". The in-home boxes feature the words "4 delicious chances to have a gay time".[3] In 2009, Streets started re-airing a television commercial from the 1980s and in 2010 an outdoor campaign featured posters and billboards.[4]
Cultural impact[edit]
The double meaning of the name is highlighted in The Bedroom Philosopher song, "Golden Gaytime".

January 3rd, 2013, 12:48 PM
I got one a couple of months ago, as far as I am concerned it is a great bow. I am sure there are better bows, but for the price I couldn't find one to beat it. I replaced a 2008 Hoyt Trykon that had a cracked limb with it and I like it much better. The only problem I see with it is the string is not the best, plan to replace it before next season. It is pretty fast and very quite. If you can swing another $100, the Brute is supposed to be better, but the Stinger is definitely more than I expected for the price.
January 3rd, 2013, 09:20 PM
Love mine! 28.5 at #60 shooting 276. I got mine for Xmas. Got it on a sat and killed my first deer on Tuesday. Great for the price.
January 3rd, 2013, 09:56 PM
No regrets here!
January 3rd, 2013, 10:49 PM
ok thanks for some insight. i was debating if i should get a higher end bow used and a couple years old or get a little lower end bow new.
January 3rd, 2013, 11:55 PM
I bought a 2012 Stinger 3G last April- my buddy (who's been shooting bows for 15 years) who got me hooked on archery talked me into it. After shooting mine, he traded in his $900 Matthews Z7 for a Stinger 3G. Its a fantastic bow! Smooth draw, forgiving and accurate. Somewhat on the slower side compared to the new bows, but sacrifice speed for forgiveness and "shootability". My only complaint was the perpetual peep twist. I eventually swapped out the string for a Champion's Choice and now its perfect. I plan on keeping this bow even after I pick up the new DNA :)
January 4th, 2013, 04:37 PM
anyone have any string silencers on their stinger. looking at adding some to mine.
January 9th, 2013, 08:29 AM
I have a 2012 Stinger 3G and I like it alot....Not a speed burner but its fast enough. Had it since March of last year. I did swap out the stock strings they have alot to be desired.
Smooth Draw and a good backwall. Shoots as good as some flagship bows from other manufacturers.
Only shoot mine at 45lbs at 27.5" draw. You should like it alot if you decide to get one.
January 9th, 2013, 06:46 PM
Got one for Christmas! I'm a newbie to compound bows. Really enjoying it! It's 60lb max, but I shoot it around 50 at 28". I'm still tweaking it, but it's plenty accurate for my purpose. I'm hitting decent groups in the vitals on 3D targets @ 20yds and less, considering I only started last summer.

Maidana Admits He Was Too Anxious With Mayweather
By Edward Chaykovsky
Marcos Maidana (35-4, 32 KOs) admits he got too anxious in his rematch with WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs) back in May. The rematch is scheduled for September 13th at the same venue, the MGM Grand of Las Vegas. Maidana became tired during the fight because he was throwing a lot of wild punches when trying to land something big on Mayweather.
"Yes. I did [get tired]. I came out strong the first six or seven rounds, and after that I had to take a break and catch my breath a little bit. I had to pace myself. I have to not get as anxious for this fight," Maidana said.
Maidana is making small adjustments in training to keep his stamina in place and plans to do several new things in the rematch.
"I'm just working on my distance control and a couple other minor changes," Maidana said. "I've had a little more time to prepare for this fight so this time I'm going to be ready."

The Cincinnati Bearcats and the UAB Blazers have each added the Alabama A&M Bulldogs to their future football schedules.
Alabama A&M director of athletics Bryan Hicks announced the two games last night at their annual Signing Day "Recruiting Bash."
UAB will host Alabama A&M at Legion Field in Birmingham on a date to be announced in 2014. The game will be the first meeting ever between the two schools, which are separated by just over 100 miles.
The Cincinnati Bearcats will host Alabama A&M at Nippert Stadium on Sept. 5, 2015, FBSchedules.com confirmed with the UC athletic department. A&M and Cincinnati have also never met on the gridiron.
The addition of these two games is part of a move by Alabama A&M to strengthen their future schedules.
"We want to play games like this where we can identify where our program is," A&M director of athletics Bryan Hicks said. "This is a different era in Division I football. We have to step our game up. Major. We see a lot of conference realigning so it's becoming the haves and have-nots. At Alabama A&M, as long as I'm here, we want to be with the haves.
"As part of that I want to schedule aggressively. Obviously Coach (Anthony) Jones is in my ear making sure we're in good position to be successful. And we are."
UAB now has three non-conference games scheduled for the 2014 season. The Blazers are also set to host Troy on Aug. 30 and travel to Mississippi State on Sept. 6.
Cincinnati also has three non-conference games set for 2015. After opening against Alabama A&M, the Bearcats travel to face rival Miami (OH) on Sept. 19 and then BYU on Oct. 24.
Previously scheduled games in 2015 at home against Air Force (Sept. 12) and at Miami, FL (Oct. 3) have or are in the process of being cancelled, according to UC athletics. This also includes a game at Air Force on Sept. 2, 2017.
The possibility of the Air Force-Cincinnati series cancellation was first reported by Gazette.com last July.
Football Schedules
Might as well schedule Hoover High School
Hoover has a larger budget than AA&M and UAB put together
Good Point…
Perhaps the UAB should schedule a game with Univ of Alabama – Tuscaloosa instead.
Perhaps UAB should drop their football team. No fan support. No booster support. No athletic dept. support. They're playing @ legion field which is falling apart. What's the point of even having a team?
UAB would do a game with UAT in a second but the almighty UAT would never play UAB
or Troy or South Alabama…cause they are the Mighty Crimson Tide
UAT will NEVER schedule UAB because they are afraid of what the ramifications would be IF they lost.
they should play blue mountain state
I think they should do exactly as they want to without criticism. Let Alabama go 3-9 a couple of years and see the bandwagon fans disperse.
get ready for the bailout cause Saban's going to Texas

From the Publisher
It discuss risks in J2EE development
It takes the reader through the entire design, development and build process of a non-trivial application. This wouldn't be compressed into one or two chapters, like the Java Pet Store, but would be a realistic example comparable to the complexity of applications readers would need to build
At each point in the design, alternative choices would be discussed. This would be important both where there's a real problem with the obvious alternative, and where the obvious alternatives are perhaps equally valid
It emphasizes the use of OO design and design patterns in J2EE, without becoming a theoretical book
From the Back Cover
In this book I offer a real-world, how-to guide so that you can make J2EE work in practice. I draw on my experience of designing successful high-volume J2EE applications and salvaging failing projects, as well as intimate knowledge of the J2EE specifications.
Ill help you to solve common problems with J2EE and avoid the expensive mistakes often made in J2EE projects. I will guide you through the complexity of the J2EE services and APIs to enable you to build the simplest possible solution, on time and on budget. I take a practical, pragmatic approach, questioning J2EE orthodoxy where it has failed to deliver results in practice and instead suggesting effective, proven approaches.
What you will learn from this book
- When to use a distributed architecture
- When and how to use EJB
- How to develop an efficient data access strategy
- How to design a clean and maintainable web interface
- How to design J2EE applications for performance
"I just wish this book had been around earlier when I was starting enterprise Java development. This book shows the benefits and pitfalls of J2EE and how best to avoid them."
Andrew J. Smith, Java Architect
"Rods depth and breadth of experience is quite impressive! J2EE developers can avoid many of the hard lessons Rod learned by reading this book."
Todd Lauinger, Software Construction Fellow, Best Buy, Inc.

"[Tomer] spoke with more than 40 designers for the book, which includes two-page interviews with such Obama favorites as Jason Wu, Loree Rodkin, Isabel Toledo and Peter Soronen. It's also filled with fabric swatch close-ups, dress shots (both famous and less well known) and displays the thoroughness of a librarian in cataloging the origins of Obama's many brooches, pins and patent-leather heels." - Washington Post
"This is not the first book about Mrs. O's style, but in my opinion, it's the best. Tomer didn't rush it out. She took her time, did her research, gathered hundreds of pictures and interviewed dozens or designers and stylists who have dressed the first lady or have informed views about her style. It's lovely to look at and fascinating to read." - Orlando Sentinel
"From the campaign trail to the White House, Michelle's looks have been slowly more and more documented, and although a few books on her fashion have popped up already, the recently-released Mrs. O: The Face of Fashion Democracy is the best by far.
