Matt Just a great course on lightroom 4.Pickin up a lot of good stuff..Mike DuPonte Lutz,Fl.
Get instant access to this course & more
Join Matt for a quick introduction to the material that will be covered in this class.
Find out some of the minor differences in the options available for processing raw and JPG files inside Lightroom.
Learn about the role of the process version and which one you should choose for working with your photos in Lightroom 4.
Matt shows you why choosing the camera profile in the Camera Calibration panel can be one of the most important things to do first in your workflow (plus a cool tip on Solo Mode).
Cropping can be useful for removing unwanted elements from the edges of your photo, creating a tighter composition, and changing the aspect ratio of your photo (or all of the above).
Lightroom gives you multiple ways to set and adjust the white balance of your photos.
Before you start making tonal adjustments on your photos, you need to understand how each slider in the center of Basic panel affects the various tonal values in a photo.
One of the goals of the new Process Version 2012 was to give us more access to the details contained in the highlights and shadows regions of our photos. Learn how you can recover this detail with minimal impact on other tonal regions.
The Whites and Blacks sliders provide a fine level of control over the white and black clipping points.
The Clarity slider increases (or decreases) the amount of midtone contrast added to your photo. You can think of it as a bit of a detail enhancer adjustment when used in positive amounts or detail softener when used in negative amounts.
Vibrance and Saturation are powerful color enhancing adjustments that work very differently. Understanding the key differences will help you know when to use each adjustment correctly.
Increase your understanding of the basic workflow as Matt steps through the process of making adjustments on a couple of portrait photos.
Increase your understanding of the basic workflow as Matt steps through the process of making adjustments on a landscape photo.
Increase your understanding of the basic workflow as Matt steps through the process of making adjustments on a travel photo.
Increase your understanding of the basic workflow as Matt steps through the process of making adjustments on a sports photo.
Lightroom can increase your efficiency when working with large (and small) batches of photos shot under the same conditions. Learn how to synchronize settings across a range of photos.
The Tone Curve is another way to adjust the amount of contrast in your photo, but with a very fine level of control over which tonal values are affected. Learn the differences between the Point Curve and Parametric Curve modes.
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Luminance. Learn how to use these sliders to make large and small adjustments to specific colors in your photos.
Thanks to the power of the Lightroom catalog all of the work you do in the Develop module is recorded and saved in the History panel. This gives you the ability to step back through the history of adjustments to an earlier state or even all the way back to the start.
The Snapshots panel can be used to preserve particular states in the way you process a photo. This can be used to save multiple different versions of how you might process a photo, and give you a quick means to switch between those different states.
Comparing the before and after versions of your photo is a powerful way to see the affects of the adjustments you are making in your workflow. Lightroom provides you with a number of different before and after views.
There are a couple of ways to change your photo to black and white, but Matt shows you the best method for maximum control in the conversion process.
The Split Toning panel allows you to add a tint to your highlights, shadows, or both. This is most commonly used with black and white photos, but can be used with color photos too.
A virtual copy is a way to create an additional set of instructions for processing the same original photo in a different way without actually duplicating the photo on your drive.
The Effects panel allows you to add creative vignettes and grain in your photos as a finishing touch.
Capture sharpening is intended to compensate for the inherent softness in raw captures. You can get fine control over how sharpening is applied via the Detail panel.
Noise is the enemy of digital capture, and Lightroom has a great tool for reducing color and luminance noise with minimal impact on important detail.
Profile based lens corrections appeared in Lightroom 3 and continue to evolve in Lightroom 4. Learn about the differences between the automatic and manual controls.
Beyond the camera profiles and process version the Camera Calibration panel contains sliders for correcting colors rendered by the camera.
A preset is basically a recipe for one-click developing of your photos. Learn how to create and apply your own.
Lightroom's Spot Removal Tool is primarily intended for seamless removal of sensor spots in your photos. The tool itself is easy to use, but Matt also has some great tips for finding all the spots hiding in the sky areas of your photos.
The glow of red eye in your photographs is a sure sign of on-camera flash, but Lightroom makes it a snap to turn those red pupils black.
The Graduated Filter Tool allows you to apply a set of adjustments to a specific area of your photo (such as a sky) with a gradual fade to blend the effect into the surrounding area.
The Adjustment Brush is the best way to apply localized adjustments to just the areas of your photos you want to affect. Learn the basics of how to use one of the most powerful tools inside of Lightroom.
Learn how to go beyond corrections with a cool creative use for the Adjustment Brush.
The Adjustment Brush can even help out with basic skin retouching and possibly save you a trip to Photoshop.
Matt Just a great course on lightroom 4.Pickin up a lot of good stuff..Mike DuPonte Lutz,Fl.
Matt I am going through the LR 4 course and think it is great. I am especially satisfied with your comments about soft-proofing . They matched exactly what I had found trying it the other day. Soft-proofing recommended changes that left me with a photo I would not want to print (dull, no color.} But when I printed it on my R2880, without the soft proofing, it looked great. Tom Nolan
I am a great van of Matt's. Matt explains things so clearly. This course alone is worth the annul fee!!!! One small thing, the videos are cut too quickly.
Can you please post the images you use in the classes so we can use them to practice. You did that for the LR3 class and it was great.
Matt, your presentations are always very informative and clear. I was disappointed to learn after attempting to download LR-4 that they have dropped using the XP operating system. What do you recommend.... Should I go to Windows 7 or Vista? What problems am I likely to encounter in switching?
I just want to take this time to thank Matt for this course, it was complete and the only thing I think might be missing is the issue of sending photographs to CS5, as it seems you must select render using lightroom settings until the new Camera Raw 7 is released.
Matt Does an outstanding job teaching LR4. Very comprehensive class and I learned a lot!
I've gotten as far as the Spot Removal Tool video; great stuff! And I have to say the tip about the Navigator and the Page Down button is one of the best tips ever!!! Can't tell you how many times I've thought I got all of the spots and printed, only to discover, as Matt says, "Bam, there's another one!" Thanks for a great course. I've been using Lightroom since version 2 so I thought I knew pretty much but decided to watch the videos straight through; I've learned a lot, even about things not new to version 4!
As usual Matt's treatment of the material is superb. This particular course is organized in such a way that is covers the subject logically but also alows you to go back to specific areas you want to review. One part of the video series is very annoying, however. Because of the quality, the video can only show small parts and then has to pause to let the buffer catch up. I hope there is a fix for that like reducing quality that allows you to watch the video without interruption Overall, I am VERY happy with this course Wayne King
I spent a good deal of time today learning PhotoShop CS5 and reviewing LightRoom and I was not expecting to enjoy it. But I found both programs to be presented in a clear and energizing manner. THANK YOU.
Brilliant Lightroom techniques and tips from Matt! Helped me enormously to understand all those wonderful LR provisions that I've simply been "playing" with before this course, but without really knowing what I was doing! It's given me the confidence to know that all things are possible with LR and even without Photoshop. I'll probably use LR for nearly all of my adjustments in future, and reserve PS for layering techniques. Many thanks for an excellent set of tutorials, Matt and Kelby!
outstanding video. really enjoyed it.
there is so much to say, but I can sum it all up in a few short words: Who needs a book when you have Matt to instruct you?! HIGHLY recommended.
As always, Matt's course on LR4 is excellent. His ability to clearly articulate the points he is making and to integrate his knowledge about both photography and digital processing is outstanding. In my opinion, both Matt and Scott are the standards against which all other instructors are measured. I am greatly anticipating my first chance to hear Matt do a program live (the LR4 program) in Lansing on June 12.
Fantastic- very user friendly presentation! Thanks
Fantastic course!!!!!
Enjoyed this course immensely. Thanks Matt. I have been with Liightroom for a while now and realised I was only scratching the surface. Your course has opened up many possiblities. I can honestly say I will be doing a lot more with Lightroom 4 as a 'down and dirty' approach to a time frame. While Photoshop will remain the 'full treatment' mode of operations when a retouch of a face or body is concerned. Great job, Matte. Cheers, Mark Patten.
On the crop section I was wondering if there is a way to keep the aspect ratio but change the crop from a portrait to a landscape.
Excellent! Thank you. Small challenge with the " adjustment brush getting creative " stopping midway n not loading ever again. Would love to see the rest of that segment. :)
Yet another great course by Matt...
Enjoyed the course but could you please: have an announcement when you are finished and; recommend the next course to go to.
Very useful and comprehensive
Great course, excellent teacher! Why don't you teach Photoshop Elements 10 or 11? Thank you ! ---- No, I'd keep it between us
I think you just changed my life! LOVE Kelby Training!
That's a very useful, clear and precise training course. So many new things I learned from it!
Very good course! Good teacher! I have learned a few tips. Thanks !
Sir, I have been working in Lightroom 4, for quite a few months, and now after watching your courses, I approach my RAW photos in a whole different manner than the way that I did previously. Thank you so much! I shall return!

Rootsy enough to be called alt-country yet adventurous enough to defy the confines of that label, St. Louis group Nadine formed in 1996.
Adam Reichmann (whose lonesome, quavering vocals have drawn consistent comparisons to Neil Young) and Todd Schnitzer met at St. Louis' Washington University in the late '80s and formed the core alliance that would eventually make up Nadine. The two started out in the country-flavored Sourpatch, who bore an unmistakable like-mindedness to fellow Midwesterners Uncle Tupelo and broke up in 1996. Shortly thereafter, Reichmann and Schnitzer hooked up with multi-instrumentalist Steve Rauner (formerly of Wagon) and, over the period of a week, home-recorded Nadine's debut album, Back to My Senses, on a budget of 1,000 dollars. Glitterhouse Records, a label out of Germany (where the group continues to enjoy great popularity), released the project, which found no U.S. distribution deal. Nadine spent a year preparing their sophomore effort, 1999's Downtown Saturday, recording it in a fourth-floor warehouse space that the group, along with a few local musicians, would eventually shape into the Undertow Collective, a 24-track studio, rehearsal space, and independent label. 2001's Lit Up From the Inside found the band adding experimental touches, such as drum loops and trippy ambience, and a new member, bass player Anne Tkach, who had previously toured Europe with Nadine. ~ Erik Hage, Rovi

Although more than 48 hours have passed since the deadly shooting rampage at Accent Signage, family members of the victims were drawn to the scene on Saturday to see it for themselves in their quest for closure.
Ron Edberg's friends and loved ones told FOX 9 News they felt they had to see the site where the mass shooting occurred, leaving Edberg and four other employees dead inside their workplace.
"It's really hard, but we have to do this," Don Nix, Edberg's brother in law, explained. "Get closure on it."
It was a heart wrenching scene as Edberg's family huddled together in front of a growing memorial for the victims of the shooting. They laughed, cried and hugged outside the office Edberg had worked at for more than a decade.
"He really enjoyed working here," said Edberg's nephew, Adam Maverich. "This was part of his life, meant a lot to him."
Edberg worked in design production, and his nephew was wearing one such design as he spoke with FOX 9 News.
"This is Ron's logo and shirt he made for a fishing group that has gone up to Leech Lake -- this would have been the 40th year," Maverich said. "We're going to miss him a lot."
Less than two weeks ago, the Edbergs were all together for to celebrate the marriage of Nix's son, Dusty.
"It was nice to have the quality time with Ron," he recalled. "Don't get that too often. We all go in different directions. Nice to sit down and talk with him."
Now, just days after that joyful family reunion, they are planning a funeral and remembering Ron with fondness.
Maverich said, "Ron was a quiet guy. He didn't say a lot, but when he did, he was funny. Don't think I ever heard him say one bad thing or one swear word about anybody or anything. That's one thing I will remember."
Just a few blocks away, more tributes were being held in the heart of the Bryn Mawr neighborhood, where residents remembered UPS driver Keith Basinski outside Paul Anderson's corner market.
"It's touched everybody," he said. "Everybody."
Basinski was a familiar face on his regular Minneapolis route, but on Thursday he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He arrived at Accent Signage right as the attack was unfolding.
"He's going to be horribly missed," Anderson told FOX 9 News. "Feel so bad for the family."
Funerals for the victims begin on Sunday, including services for company founder Reuven Rahamim at his beloved St. Louis Park synagogue.
Two other Accent Signage employees injured in the attack are still hospitalized at HCMC. One is in critical condition, but the other has been upgraded to serious condition.

Targeting a Health Threat
Diabetes afflicts nearly 24 million Americans, and another 79 million have an increased risk for the disease. It is the seventh leading cause of death among all Americans and is a major cause of other deadly diseases. Annual healthcare costs associated with diabetes total $174 billion.
Because of these concerns, the Department of Health and Human Services has provided more than $500 million in Recovery Act funds to universities, hospitals, and related institutions to conduct research into diabetes. The goals are two-fold:
- Increase understanding of causes and treatments of the disease
- Invest in health information technology that can lead to better and more efficient care and prevention
Type 2 diabetes accounts for at least 90 percent of all cases. Two Recovery funded research projects – by University of Michigan and University of Virginia, respectively – are exploring the genetics of diabetes:
- A study building on recent discoveries of common genetic variants that contribute to type 2 diabetes
- A study to identify genetic contributors to diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors in African Americans, who are at elevated risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease
3 Responses
I simply do not believe that diabetes has anything to do with genetics, but to each of his own. What matters is that if they can figure the specific causes for diabetes, treatments can be made to help save countless lives, wherever they may be on earth.
I think the above comment is an example of what's wrong and impeding change in so many areas. It's silly. The fact that diabetes has a link with genetics has nothing to do with belief. It's simply true. Some people are born with a predisposition towards it. That said, our American diet is by far the most important culprit, and the fact that we don't exercise enough. Change those two things, and you will find that the genetic predisposition won't even matter any more, for the most part!
I agree with Christina Thomas. In most cases of type 1 diabetes, people need to inherit risk factors from both parents. Type 2 diabetes has a stronger link to family history and lineage than type 1, although it too depends on environmental factors. Studies of twins have shown that genetics play a very strong role in the development of type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle also influences the development of type 2 diabetes. Obesity tends to run in families, and families tend to have similar eating and exercise habits.
If you have a family history of type 2 diabetes, it may be difficult to figure out whether your diabetes is due to lifestyle factors or genetic susceptibility. Most likely it is due to both. Studies show that it is possible to delay or prevent type 2 diabetes by exercising and losing weight.

Inside Wall Street: Compuware not just a takeover bet
The software company's planned IPO of one of its units and speculation about new suitors attract new investors.
Some merger and acquisition pros expect Compuware will attract other suitors -- especially if Elliott Management, one of CPWR's largest shareholders with an 8% stake, ups the ante by raising its bid price. If that happens, expect Compuware's stock to bolt higher. It's now trading at over $11 a share, more than 22% higher since it announced its plans to take public one of its units -- Colvisint.
No matter how it goes, investors in Compuware are bound to end up winners. A few days before Elliott Management launched its buyout bid, Compuware announced a plan to carve out 20% of Colvisint, a wholly owned subsidiary, through an initial public offering in mid-2013. And here's another factor that should further enhance Compuware's valuation: It plans to spin off the remaining 80% of Colvisint stock to Compuware shareholders within 12 months from the completion of the IPO.
What's so attractive about Compuware? Its basic business is to provide software products and services to corporations in order to increase the productivity of their information technology systems. The company was initially organized to offer mainframe productivity tools that accounted for 50% of revenue. By 2012, the unit's revenue number has dropped to 42% as the company expanded its products and services to adjust for its customers' move toward their expanding Internet-related demands.
In 2009, it launched its Compuware 2.0 initiative to get into higher growth markets, such as application performance management (APM), in addition to maximizing its earnings from its mainframe and other legacy businesses. Compuware's competitors are heavyweights in the business, including International Business Machines (IBM), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Accenture (ACN).
Colvisint is the unit that provides applications services. After the IPO, Compuware will focus on the rest its business, mainly the APM and mainframe solutions. Colvisint's focus will involve security and identity management in various systems, which is different from Compuware's APM and mainframe businesses.
"The IPO will help unlock the value of Colvisint and offer it greater flexibility to pursue strategic opportunities, which would boost its visibility in the marketplace," notes Joseph Cornell, president of Spin-Off Research in Chicago. This deal will enable shareholders, he says, to directly and fully participate in Colvisint's strategic activities.
In 2012, the Colvisint unit's revenues jumped 34% year-over-year, to $74 million. The increase is mainly attributed to the growth in automotive customers, continued expansion in the health care industry, and also because of the acquisition of DocSite in 2011, says Cornell.
The bottom line on CPWR: investors should consider the possibility that another suitor will emerge with a higher offer. "Compuware continues to have an open dialogue with Elliott and work with the hedge fund to enter into a non-disclosure agreement to share more non-public information," says Cornell.
But whether or not that happens, investors will still end up with a bonus: they will own shares of another up-and-coming tech company -- gratis!

LOS ANGELES (AP-FOX11) - A Los Angeles County jury says Southern California Edison must pay $4 million to a woman repeatedly shocked in her home by stray electricity.
The Daily Breeze (http://bit.ly/ZIXhcG) reports Simona Wilson of Redondo Beach was awarded $1 million in compensatory damages and $3 million punitive damages from the utility Tuesday.
Wilson's attorneys say she filed the lawsuit after stray electricity pulsed through her showerhead and left her with nerve damage in her hands and feet. Her home is near an Edison substation and was originally built by the utility to rent to its employees.
Edison said in a statement that it made sufficient efforts to address Wilson's problem and the award is inconsistent with the evidence presented in court. The utility says it is disappointed, and deciding whether to appeal.

High in Peru's southern Andes, Cusco was the former capital of the Inca's great empire. Today the "Archaeological Capital of America" combines great beauty and charm with a wealth of archaeological and architectural remains. You can visit the great ruins of the Inca fortress at Sacsayhuaman, the Kenko amphitheatre and the Koricancha Temple and many other sites throughout the city, which even today still bear witness to the Inca's remarkable architectural and engineering skills.
Cusco's colonial heritage is also rich in fine churches -many of which are built on top of former Inca temples- such as the town's cathedral, the Church of La Compañia and La Merced Convent. The area around San Blas, now the base for many of Cusco's fine artists and craftsmen, has remained unchanged for centuries. Admire the recently opened Pre-Columbian Art Museum –MAP–, with a collection of 450 master pieces dating from 1,250 B.C to 1,532 A.D., selected among 45,000 objects located at the storages of the Larco Museum in Lima.
But of course, Cusco is also a marvellous base for many possible excursions: along the course of the Urubamba River, through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, to the spectacular Inca fortress at Ollantaytambo or to the colourful mountain villages of Pisac and Chinchero with their ruins and famous Markets. Other beautiful and interesting villages near Cusco include Andahuaylillas with its fine Colonial church, and Piquillacta with its pre Inca remains. As a result of the development of tourism, Cusco offers now a variety of cultural and leisure activities like first class restaurants, bars and discos.

High on jungle-covered hilltops, Machu Picchu was never found by the Spanish conquerors and many parts of the ancient city remain to be discovered. Energetic visitors can climb the heights of the nearby Huayna Picchu for fine photographs of the archaeological wonder and surrounding countryside.
To reach Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, visitors take a train journey through the spectacular scenery of the Urubamba Valley. The even more energetic can hike the four-day Inca Trail connecting Cusco with Machu Picchu.

Should we teach our kids about how advertisement (public relationships, marketing) works?
Let's face it, advertisement works.
But let's also admit it, it is not as simple as a creative ad shown during the superbowl or a picture on a magazine that we find funny and incidentally reminds us of some particular brand of chips, or insurance company.
As far as i know (admittedly a much more thorough research can be done), advertisement works because it exploits a few flaws in the way our subconscious work:
- we remember things best when emotion is evoked while we learn them (fear, anger, excitement). And this is due to the chemical changes that these emotions induce in our brain.
- we decide mostly with emotions, and not with reason. This seems counter intuitive to most people
- we live with the ever present contradiction of trying to be unique and trying to be like others. We like to be singled out if we are wearing nice clothing, but we hate being singled out if our pants happen to rip.
- being rejected by our peers, or not being part of the in-group we admire, actually hurts, pretty much in the same way (neurologically) as a punch in the stomach hurts
- anything repeated frequently makes a stronger memory, easier to recall, and a memory that is easier to recall is trusted more (and feels more familiar) regardless of it's veracity
- novel experiences are considered riskier than familiar experiences, regardless of their real inherent risk
So all these factors are merged with a product and tweaked to make that product appealing and familiar to us, without us fully understanding why it feels appealing and familiar.
Now, recently the target of the advertising industry are increasingly younger kids. And I would venture to say that if many adults don't fully understand why advertisement works, then even less kids would be expected to know
Should we include in a kids education: at schools, in church sermons, at dinner table conversations, an explanation of what advertisement is and why it works? What would be an argument against teaching this?

Nov 10 2012: I do agree that marketing uses psychological strategies. I don't even think that's debatable. However, if we didn't have useless things to sell we wouldn't have much to sell at all. I don't think the problem is market manipulation...because I think that's a byproduct of whatever market you facilitate. I see hope with creations like digital book readers and things of that nature. Innovation in this direction could definitely use a market push. This may require us to use those same strategies. Great post...I think you have it right. I just think it's part of the system. Our system is ok...we just need to tweak some gears inside.
Nov 10 2012: Hi Henry, thank you for your comment,
Interesting perspective, "if we didn't have useless things to sell we wouldn't have much to sell at all". You got it quite right. I guess that is another way of looking at the wants vs. the needs.
As it is usual in me, i am not for an all or nothing. I don't see it realistic or desirable to advocate for selling only needs and banning sale of wants.
Not so sure that my assessment is as optimistic as yours regarding the system though. I think that it is a working system and it may not need to be replaced completely, but i think that the tweaks are much more than superficial.
I think that the conversion from wants to needs should be done by the individual, and of course it will depend on influences, but the individual should be left to decide (and be aware) of the influences chosen

System preferences among RPG folks. One measure from one source, namely here via here.
Survey is decently but not impressively sized for this sort of thing with 771 respondants solicited through an array of RPG related podcasts. I think it's kind of interesting … in case it's too tiny on your screen, here's the breakdown:
Pathfinder is a surprising breakaway (20%), with all of D&D following (13%) and none too distantly followed in turn by Savage Worlds (12%).
Decidedly in the second teir, FATE takes a huge chunk (8%), followed Apocalypse Engine (AW and DW in about a 2:1 ratio; 5%) and GURPS with a surprising (to me) following (5%).
The last teir some systems I don't know. White Wolf tops out (4%), the Chaosium system follows—two thirds of which stood for Call of Cthulu (2.2% of a total 3%), then Eclipse Phase which I've never heard of (2%) and Cortex which I've never heard of (2%).

Perhaps I'm an idealist, but I think as a (relatively nascent) community of athletes for whom water quality is extremely important/necessary, we are in a unique position to raise awareness of environmental concerns. What if marathon swimmers became known not only for our (relatively) self-serving feats of endurance, but as a community of environmental advocates?
Can we please try to depersonalize this? This is not about one swim, or one swimmer. It is irrelevant whether the swim lasted 6:55 or 16:55. Due to his preternatural speed and record-potential, Trent happened to have his swim filmed and posted to YouTube. This is about our community, our expectations of future channel aspirants, our collective responsibilities to the waters we swim in.
@Niek, I've planted my own trees to offset. I settled on willow, as being fast growing, easy to plant, and alder, native to where I live, and both are location appropriate.

Pertaining to what @evmo says, I don't understand that there might be a perception that there's any attempted suppression of the incident. I certainly didn't hide the video I shot, it's been available for 11 months, nor do I have any wish to suppress any discussion.
Yes.... NYC Swim does
The swimmer or crew may not intentionally pollute the ocean with trash or debris (including but not limited to feed cups and gel packs) at any point before, during, or after the swim, from dock to dock.
Yes.... NYC Swim does
From nycswim.org:
Race Rule IV: Pollution - MIMS 2013
The swimmer shall be disqualified if the swimmer or his or her crew members pollute the waterways with cups, trash or other debris before, during or after the competition.
Bravo to Morty. I'd love to see other swim organizers adopt a similar policy.
Since the English Channel is the grand-daddy of marathon swims, I thought it would be pretty easy to model the rules for 8 Bridges "as per EC conduct and attire"... but after a conversation with Morty, it became clear that there are some issues that are less than clear by that definition.
bruck said:
Where would the SBCSA be without the inspiration of Trent's swim??
Actually, the phrase "absolutely no regrets" seems even stranger when read in context. In my understanding of vernacular English, "no regrets" is typically used to affirm that some life experience was worthwhile, in spite of some negative aspects of it. Given the context - world travel, amazing people & friends, world records - why would he regret anything, such that he'd need to say, "No regrets?"

It was and is not forbidden by the rules

and all those crying about it are jealous that their technique and/or speed won't allow them to do the same.

I try to eat Apples and Pears, and sometimes Melon. Having said that though, I just went through a crazy phase of eating 5 bagels. It was the first time I'd had them in about.. three months... The first time I'd had wheat in fact.
I also try to drink a lot of green tea.

I'd have to say filtered water. That much chlorine and fluorine probably isn't too healthy on a long term basis, taste terrible, and god only knows what else in the pipes that have been there for who knows how long. In a lot of buildings I've been in, the water's tasted like rust.
I usually have an apple when I'm hungry and just want something small. I don't avoid any foods bc of acne. Mine's controlled well with topicals. However, I do avoid flour-based foods like bread and cookies bc they make me feel extremely tired very quickly after eating them.

As for water it depends on your area. Where I live the water is really hard, so it has to be softened which increases the salt content so I go for bottled.

Six tips for keeping your tires rolling
Each tire is made of carefully engineered components designed for a special purpose, as shown in this cutaway of a Goodyear Duraseal tire.
A dash-mounted tire pressure monitoring system such as the Pressure Pro indicates air pressure by tire position.
Doran Mfg LLC
Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) use sensors inside the tire or valve, as in this ContiPressureCheck system.
Continental Tire
How much do you have invested in your tires? If you operate three-axle dumps, it may total anywhere from $2,500 for eight recap drive tires and two new steers, to almost $6,000 for 10 new premium tires. If you pull a trailer moving heavy equipment, you can add $4,000 or more. Add to that the effect that tires have on fuel economy, and tires can consume a significant portion of your fleet maintenance budget. You need to protect that investment.
When replacing tires, be sure you get the optimum tread for your needs. A shallow rib tread can reduce fuel use by at least 3% compared to a deep lug drive tire, but it won't provide the traction you may need for on/off road operations. Work with your dealer to get the best balance of structure, compound, and tread pattern.
When tires show uneven wear, compare them to the American Trucking Associations' Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) Recommended Practice RP 219C - Radial Tire Wear Conditions and Causes. This guide analyzes causes of wear patterns and recommends corrective actions. Another useful document is RP 216C - Radial Tire Conditions Analysis Guide.
Wheels out of alignment can reduce fuel economy by 3% or more, and dramatically shorten tire life, according to the TMC.
When properly aligned relative to the chassis and to each axle, tires run straight with minimal wear. When axles are not perpendicular to the chassis, the resulting thrust angles cause tires to scrub across the pavement. With just an 1/8-inch misalignment, a tire rolling 500 revolutions per mile will be dragged sideways more than 5 feet each mile. That scrub contributes to uneven wear. Even worse, it takes added energy to wear the tire, lowering mpg.
Align all wheels, including any trailers. This means all wheels and axles are in proper alignment, not just the tractor steer tires. Axles must be perpendicular to the vehicle center line to avoid wear from thrust forces set up by wheels pointed to the side.
Steer tires should be checked for toe-in or toe-out, camber, and caster. Toe measures where the tires are pointing when seen from above. Caster is the angle of the steering assembly kingpin with the ground, as seen from the side. Camber measures if the tires are leaning inward or outward when seen from the front. Each of these affects tire wear.

Scheme Designers Creates Paint Scheme for Harrison Ford's Bell 407
Sometimes there are convergences in the world. Kismet some call it. For first-time Heli-Expo exhibitor Scheme Designers (Booth No. 3608) Harrison Ford's decision to fly his own Bell 407 into the Anaheim Convention Center as one of the first helicopters to arrive for Heli-Expo 2014 was in fact a stroke of luck for Scheme Designers, the company that created the paint scheme for the actor.
It turns out there is more to creating an aircraft paint scheme, and especially a helicopter paint scheme, than just tracing a few pencil strokes on a line drawing of the aircraft. Scheme Designers combines the skills of artists and engineers to create each customized paint scheme for a range of fixed-wing and vertical-lift aircraft and provides paint mask templates or decal designs to the owner's paint shop or applicator. The company serves OEMs and individuals on a global scale.
According to Craig Barnett, CEO and founder of the company, the Bell 407 was one of several paint schemes the company worked on with Ford. "It was a pleasure to work with such a detail-oriented client," said Barnett, referring to Ford. "That attention to detail makes our artist's ability to render his vision that much simpler," he said.

Only Two Religions, New from Peter Jones
Posted by dtheriault
If you survey the religious landscape of modern culture, you will encounter an astonishingly diverse range of views. But beneath the surface, these seemingly disparate spiritualities share a common worldview, one that is radically opposed to the Christian faith.
In this new teaching series, Only Two Religions, Dr. Peter Jones examines the worldview and fundamental religious convictions that drive modern culture. He demonstrates that in the final analysis, there can be only two religio

Reigning Class 7A state champion Blanche Ely, looking every bit the MaxPreps No. 13 boys' basketball team in the nation, used a third quarter defensive blitz that buried Class 6A No. 6 Pines Charter 76-52 in the BCAA Big 8 boys' semifinals on Friday.
The Tigers (19-1) turned up the intensity on their vaunted press during a third-quarter dunk fest that pushed a 34-21 halftime lead into a commanding 56-35 advantage at Fort Lauderdale High School.
Ely defensive stalwart Dallas Cameron, who helped the reigning Big 8 champion Tigers force 19 steals, said some Twitter messages provided the Tigers with added motivation.
"We were only up by 13 points at the half, so we knew we had to turn it up," Cameron said. "Pines Charter challenged us, people on Twitter were talking about beating us by 20 points so we wanted to show them it would be a 40-point turnaround."
Ely (19-1, Source Hoops Class 7A No. 1) advances to face archrival Deerfield Beach (23-2) in the Big 8 championship game Saturday at 8 p.m.
Deerfield Beach trailed Cardinal Gibbons 28-27 at the half but held on for 60-59 victory in the other semifinal.
Terence Johnson hit the go ahead three-pointer for the Bucks with 1:39 left.
Ely stamped its finals ticket in the third quarter behind sharpshooter Richard Lee (20 points), who hit back-to-back three-pointers before Darrion Allen and Khalil Thomas threw down thunderous back-to-back dunks that gave Ely a 47-26 edge with 3:33 left.
Thomas finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Allen added 15 points, Cameron had 10 points, seven assists and three steals, and Lance Tejada added eight points and seven assists for the Tigers.
Justin Satchell scored a game-high 21 points and Prince Ali added 19 points for the Jaguars (17-3).
Blanche Ely used a 15-2 run bridging the end of the first quarter and into the second session to take a 27-14 lead.
Lee knocked back-to-back three-pointers and Tejada converted a three-point play for a 13-point cushion with 7:04 left in the second quarter.
"In the third quarter, we took control," Tigers coach Melvin Randall said. "We were kind of laid-back a little bit in the first half instead of playing them up tight and playing aggressive defense. As a result, we picked it up. Pines Charter is a well-coached team and to play the way we played, sends a good message to us."
BCAA Big 8 boys' semifinals — Blanche Ely 76, Pines Charter 52 - Ely (19-1): Lee 20, Gossier 5, Thomas 16, Tejada 8, Labadi 2, Cameron 10, Allen 15. PPC (17-3): Satchell 21, Denbow 4, Ali 19, Cheatham 5, Meade 2, Graves. Half: Ely 34-21. Three-pointers: Lee 4, Satchell 3, Denbow 1, Ali 1. Rebounds: Thomas 12. Assists: Tejada, Cameron 7. Steals: Allen 4, Cameron 3.

How can we consider the bible credible?
How could we rely on what the bible tells us? Looking at the bible from a historical point of view, it has been translated over and over again into hundreds of different languages. Over the years kings and rulers have altered and manipulated aspects to suit their reign. Even today there are multiple different interpretations. What effects do you think this has on the content?

Mar 27 2013: There's no logic answer to that question. Faith disregards facts, and I'm not saying this to diss on religion, but that's the definition of faith. People used to burn at the stake for trying to acquire a version of the Bible that they could actually read. The Bible has been used to manipulate the citizens in the past into making the church the most powerful organization on Earth. The present Bible is nothing like the original version, even when you just compare it to the old books (Deuteronomy, for example). The word of God as is in the Bible is so far away from what it originally was that there's, again, no logical argument to believe in it. So the answer to your question would be: Blind faith.
edward long 100+Mar 28 2013: Actually, the Holy Bible, (Authorized Version KJV) is not guilty of the accusations you make. It defines Faith as, "The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." How do you interpret that to mean "disregard facts"? Faith comes into play only when the subject matter is unseen and is a matter of hope. Faith is not necessary to intelligent, logical, scientific conduct regarding the physical world. Are you a Bible scholar,or are you sharing your personal opinion?

Packed with music enriching technology, the new improved GO streams music via Bluetooth for up to 18 hours! We have re-released the updated GO with Near Field Communication for lighting fast pairing and USB phone charging to make this the ultimate wireless speaker whether you're home or away.
Go's room-filling sound is sure to shock and impress, with balanced treatment of the whole spectrum of sound thanks to:
We've added Near Field Communication to the current Go, simply touch any NFC enabled device to the speaker for automatic pairing.

Whether you're streaming music, watching a film or playing a game, you'll find a way to connect your device to the Go and hear your sound transformed! And each unit remembers up to 8 devices so you don't have to mess about reconnecting each time.
From one charge the Go will play your music for 18 hours – long after the party's wound down. And if your phone or tablet can't keep up, connect it via the USB socket for on-the-Go charging.
Leave behind the tiny, tinny sound of your digital devices – you'll want to hear everything through the Go from now on. For the full audio experience the Go is AptX ready, allowing you to stream in full detail from AptX Bluetooth devices.
"I bought the Go for my flatmates and I to play in our kitchen. They were amazed when I switched it on; such big sound from such a compact product! And it can play from its rechargeable battery for hours so we use it in the garden for BBQs."

"I just recently purchased the Go and i have to say I am amazed at how good it is.

A.Finish carpenter David Frane responds:
It's tempting to use plywood to make big doors, but, unfortunately,
it (even mdo) won't stay flat when exposed to the weather. Here
are three other ways to make doors the size you want:
The best way is to make real stile-and-rail doors. But that
requires skill at joinery and better stock than you can get at
most lumberyards. For doors this size, I'd want stiles and
rails that were a minimum of 2 1/4 inches thick. You'd have to
start with thick, dry material and use a jointer and planer to
straighten it and bring it down to size. The panels could be
3/8- or 1/2-inch plywood. This will give you the best doors,
but they'll be expensive and time consuming to build.
A simple rustic option would be to make old-fashioned shed
doors out of T&G boards. Most lumberyards stock this in a
#2 grade spruce or pine. The vertical face boards are fastened
to horizontal backer strips. Diagonals are applied to the back
side to keep the doors from sagging. The doors will be only as
straight and flat as the backers. Old-time carpenters
clinch-nailed the face boards, but I'd use galvanized drywall
screws to hold them. Some of the face boards will cup, and the
doors will rot if you don't do a good job of sealing and
painting the edges.
If you're determined to make plywood doors, use something
thinner than 3/4-inch mdo. The sheet will want to warp, and
it's easier to restrain thinner material. The doors will be
less likely to warp if you apply the fake stiles and rails to
both sides of the sheet. The applied pieces should be straight,
flat, and dry. For $30 to $40 you can get 3/8- or 1/2-inch mdo,
but be sure to get the kind with paper on both faces. If it was
me, I'd spring for okoume or exterior-grade birch, which are
more stable than mdo because they have more plies. They come in
metric thicknesses and are about twice the price of mdo.

What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Ken Ham and Biblical Authority
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
Ham on Nye – What to Watch for
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
Response to Ken Ham
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.

Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis (4 entries)
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling (3 entries)
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Confronting Our Fears (6 entries)
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)

Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order (6 entries)
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
What I Would Like To Hear A Young-Earth Creationist Say
It may come as a surprise that when asked by The Colossian Forum what one thing he would like to hear Young Earth Creationists say, his answer had nothing to do with scientific statements at all. Rather, his hope is to hear a single simple phrase: "We're both part of the same family."
