MLS Regular Season
#12 - Today, as we are 12 days away from our next home game, we honor the twelfth person on the field… YOU! Chivas USA Supporter Groups the Union Ultras and the Black Army 1850 have gone up and beyond to support the Red-and-White, including trips to away games. Just last March, the Black Army caravanned to Sandy, Utah for the team's first away match and win of the season. The Union Ultras have also attended games at Rio Tinto Stadium in the last few years, and are currently planning their next road trip to Portland. For supporting the club, we salute you!
#13- That's Canadian defender Ante Jazic's number! Upon his return from international duty, the match against Real Salt Lake could potentially be his 13th match of the season, summing over 1,000 minutes on the pitch this season. Make sure to catch Jazic with the Canadian National Team today as 'The Reds' face team USA at 4pm PT in BMO Field; match will be broadcast live on NBC Sports or Univision Deportes.
#14- That's 2012 MLS SuperDraft pick Casey Townsend's number! Casey was the last Chivas USA player to score against Real Salt Lake. Remember that game? It was a cold Saturday, March 24 in Sandy, Utah, as the 22 year-old forward started his second consecutive game, only to score his first professional goal in the 72nd minute of the match. It was the match that gave the Goats the first three points of the season, and that began the infamous 'road warriors' nickname. Check out the goal:
#15- The number of minutes Chivas USA has had their best game against Real Salt Lake. From minute 45-60, the Goats have scored seven goals against Real Salt Lake. Top goal scorer during these 15 minutes? Paulo Nagamura with two goals; the first being scored in the 58th minute on October 6, 2007 and the second on May 9, 2009 in the 54th minute, both wins for Chivas USA in The Home Depot Center.
Just one week after being acquired, Juan Agudelo scored his first goal with Chivas USA in last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders. The young striker opened up the scoreboard in the 47th minute of the match off a cross from former Sounder James Riley. But there's a lot more to the play than you think. Check out MLSsoccer.com's breakdown of Agudelo's goal in this week's 'Anatomy of a Goal.'
After facing the top three MLS teams in the past 14 days and getting five points out of it, Chivas USA has landed in the 12th spot of MLSsoccer.com's Power Rankings. Chivas USA kicked off a busy two weeks earning a 1-1 draw with then-first place San Jose Earthquakes; earned the first victory in the SuperClásico since 2007 against then-ahead in standings LA Galaxy with a single goal from Jose Correa (his second in two games); travelled across the country to face second place New York Red Bulls midweek and earned a 1-1 draw with an amazing goal from Juan Pablo Angel; returned to The Home Depot Center to face Western Conference third place Seattle Sounders and earned a 1-1 draw where recently acquired Juan Agudelo scored his first goal with Chivas USA. The Goats are currently in sixth place in the Western Conference (12th overall) with a record of 4-6-3 (W-L-T) with 15 points.
Check out the full list of the MLS Power Rankings for Week 12.
After starting in all games this season with Chivas USA, James Riley's hard work is paying off. Just last Saturday, Riley was up against his old Seattle Sounders teammates, squad of which he shared locker rooms for three years, made it to three consecutive MLS Cup Playoffs, and where he helped the team earn three consecutive U.S. Open Cup titles. Although Riley stated during the week that he didn't hold any grudges against the Sounders, the Colorado native went into the game and assisted in Juan Agudelo's first goal with Chivas USA. For that, MLSsoccer.com named James Riley to the Team of the Week for Week 12 of the regular season. What other Goat do you think should have been named to the MLS Team of the Week? Share your thoughts.
After scoring 58 goals with the New York Red Bulls from 2007-2010, Juan Pablo Angel returned to Red Bull Arena, to score yet another goal in the Harrison, New Jersey stadium, this time with Chivas USA. Angel opened up the scoring in the 47th minute of the match as defender Raushan McKenzie headed the ball to the Colombian striker to give the Red-and-White an early lead. A few minutes later, New York would score the equalizer for the final 1-1 score in the Goats second match in five days. Now, Angel's 70th career goal is up for MLS Goal of the Week. But before you rush to vote for him, re-live his goal:
Overall team performance… "I felt like we came out and we did pretty well throughout the first half. We were able to create some opportunities. We talked about some things to get some of our wide players in 1v1 situations in the second half. I felt like in moments leading up to the goal, and on the goal, we did really well in terms of moving the ball quickly and isolating our wide players. And we were able to get a service and score a goal. I felt like after we scored the goal, we got away a little bit from that and obviously gave up a goal that seemed to be a bit of a soft goal. At the end of the day, a draw is probably a fair result."
On Agudelo's goal… "I thought he worked hard and he presented himself in some dangerous situations tonight and he was close to being dangerous often. It was a good play that freed up James on the right side, and he put a great ball in. Juan made a great run and certainly a very good finish. In terms of what it does for his confidence, I think any time goal scorers score goals, their confidence goes up."
On the back line's performance… "I think the group is continuing to grow and gel together. Danny has only been here a couple of games but I think he has fit right in. There's good understanding between all of the defenders. As a result, I think we are able to read each other well, and therefore cover each other well. At the end of the day, that's what you need to do as a back four."
Thoughts on the match… "It's always good to take a point, but I thought we deserved the win. We just let one mistake in the back and it cost us a win. Danny made three big plays which those are plays I don't have to make. James had a great game, Ante solid."
On Seattle's goal… "Unfortunately the bounce didn't go our way on that goal. It's just one of those things where the ball came up a little awkward on him, and he wasn't able to make a play."
On Chivas USA's four-game unbeaten streak… "I feel like these games are there for the taking, we don't have a problem playing the underdog. The biggest thing in this league, I feel, is momentum and when you get it and you get hot you need to take advantage of it. That's why I feel like maybe we left two points on the table tonight. We really excel on the road, because I feel like we seem to compete a little better when our backs are up against the wall. This is a group that thrives under tough circumstances. What we need to do is not only thrive in those tough times, but in the good moments when we're home too, that's our next step."
Thoughts on the match… "It was a hard fought match, we were able to go ahead on the goal and unfortunately they had a really good goal, a good cross, and I think one of our defenders slipped. I thought we've been playing really well, maintaining the ball and it was good."
On his first goal with Chivas USA… "It felt great, most importantly to help out the team, to put them ahead. It's not a personal stand point, but just trying to help out the team."
Thoughts on the game... "For us to be able to come back from being one nothing is a good thing. I felt we had some chances at the end of the game, and they were pretty good chances. There was Rose on his header, Rose shot off from distance and it's cleared down the line; Eddie Johnson gets in there one time on the end line. I was pleased with our ability to come back in tonight's game."
On the Sounders' seven-game unbeaten streak on the road... "We feel very confident on the road, we feel we're going to do well. Chivas has done well on the road this year also. It's something we always try, we don't change how we play all that much. Today we changed a little more than normal, I think we played a little more defensive than we normally play on the road just because it was the only option really for us, we needed to keep the ball in front of us. But we always feel very confident on the road."
Thoughts on the final score... "It's kind of tough to go down and then we actually created a few chances after we equalized, so I thought we easily could have taken one after the 65th minute. At least we got the tie; it was tough game on the road."
Thoughts on Chivas USA's unbeaten streak... "It's definitely positive for them, it shows their perseverance and attitude that they can keep finding and start getting good results."
Thoughts on the game... "I think it was a heartfelt match, there a new team now with Califf and Agudelo, it's not the same Chivas as before especially at home. I think they are a very motivating team and I think it's good we got a point, we could of maybe gotten three points at the end but when were playing away, I think one point is good."
On Seattle's equalizer... "It's always good to equalize it sooner than later. Alex Caskey came in and he made a difference, played a good ball. I think it was a bad clearance from the defender, but I'm just trying to get myself in a good spot, luckily we went in."

Junior dog handlers prep for Hampton dog show
- 1

- | single page
Not only did she grow up in a family where champion Akitas are an integral part of life, but she also made her first appearance in the ring not long after being conceived. Her mom, Julie, still smiles as she recalls how she continued to compete through her pregnancy, logging her last show just a few weeks before Mckenzie's birth.
Even this precocious little veteran gets a bit nervous, however, whenever she takes her dog, Isabel, into the ring for another test of her ribbon-winning Junior Showmanship skills.
At barely 5 feet tall and maybe 85 pounds, the Hampton middle school girl is hardly bigger than the large, powerful animal she so deftly controls. And her most serious competition comes from handlers who are older and more experienced.
"Of course, I'm nervous," says Mckenzie, who will be among some 30 kids aged 9 to 18 contending in the Junior Showmanship class at this weekend's Virginia Memorial Day Cluster All-Breed Dog Show.
"You want to win so bad that you can't help being nervous. But it's always fun whether you win or lose."
Originally known as the "Children's Handling Class," the first formal dog handling competitions for young people were held in the early 1930s at the Westbury and Westminster kennel clubs in New York.
The American Kennel Club recognized Junior Showmanship as a class of its own in 1971.
Unlike the traditional show classes, which focus primarily on the physical conformation of the dog, the entrants in the Junior Showmanship category are judged on their handling abilities alone.
Control and presentation are crucial as they move their animals around the ring and stage them before the judge, striving to show them to their best advantage.
"Junior Showmanship is harder for a lot of kids — because the judges have their eyes on you and not so much on the dog," says Jennifer Meermans Bottone, a James City County woman who became a licensed Junior Showmanship judge after competing in the class as a teen.
"So not only does your dog have to look good, but you have to look good, too."
Mckenzie began learning to handle Akitas at the age of 5, when she was still so small she could barely see over the animal's shoulders.
Looking back now, she confesses that she had some significant fears to overcome about the difference in size, especially when she first started.
"I was like — 'What!?!" she says, her eyes growing big and round.
"They were just so big and scary — and they had these really big teeth. But then I got used to them. They were my dogs. And I felt more comfortable making them pay attention."
Not everybody agreed with her parents' decision to put the little girl and the big dogs together.
But schooled by her mom and their friend Lynn Arnold, an Akita breeder and current president of the Langley Kennel Club, she soon learned how to move her charges confidently around the ring, then "stack" their tails, legs, necks and heads in ways calculated to both showcase their strengths and help hide their weaknesses.
Since entering her first competition at the age of 9, Mckenzie has advanced steadily in her class, winning numerous first-place ribbons with her Akitas. She's also developed a keen eye — and a lot of respect — for her older rivals, whose polish and experience usually enables them to dominate the best overall junior contests held at the end of every show.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The state Assembly might wait until next year to consider a second cutback of new rules that require survivors of elderly patients to repay more of their relatives' Medicaid costs.
The Senate passed the measure 32-1 Tuesday, with Janesville Democrat Tim Cullen casting the only no vote. The Assembly could take up the bill Thursday.
However, Majority Leader Bill Kramer said many of his fellow Republicans are raising concerns about it, so his leadership may hold the bill up until at least January.
The state budget passed by Republicans in June expanded the state's powers to dig into a Medicaid recipient's estate to recover tax-funded services -- but not until after the surviving spouse dies.
The Joint Finance Committee later scaled back the complicated rules, and the Senate okayed a second rollback. That's after concerns were raised that middle-class Wisconsinites would not be able to pass down assets to their children and grandchildren -- and elderly couples would consider divorcing in order to hang onto whatever assets they could.
Under the current law, the state would save $4.5 million by mid-2015. The new bill would forgo almost $1.5 million of those savings.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Early forecasts suggest that the political climate at the Michigan Capitol will be chilly when lawmakers return in January.
A slightly larger bloc of Democrats in the House won't be enough to overcome the majority Republicans in that chamber or the party's grip on the Senate and governor's office. But the minority party remains bitter about what came out of the rush of lawmaking at the end of 2012.
Republicans say the kept promises by repealing a business tax, replacing an emergency manager law and revoking a requirement that workers pay what amounts to union dues.
Democrats say the legislation was hasty and lacked voters' input. They say they'll keep reminding the electorate what - and how - decisions were made by the GOP.

Sex, farting, and drugs: The real Hitler revealed
Adolf Hitler suffered from "uncontrollable flatulence," injected himself with bull semen to spark his diminishing libido and craved cocaine.
Some historical documents set to be auctioned off at a price between $1,500 to $2,000 each are painting a very different picture of the Nazi dictator. As reported by the Washington Examiner, the cache of documents includes interviews with Hitler's doctors and the diary entries of one physician who wrote down things he heard the Nazi leader say.
His doctors noted that Hitler had several medical complaints, one of them being flatulence, which was blamed on his vegetarian diet. He took pills in an attempt to quell the embarrassing problem.
Hitler also expressed his desire for beautiful women, but his libido eventually decreased, though he was living with Eva Braun, his long-time companion. Hitler injected himself with semen from young bulls in an effort to stimulate his sexual desire, as recorded by Dr. Theodore Morrell.
"Sexual organs showed no indications of abnormality or pathology and secondary sex characteristics were normally developed. Hitler was very fond of the society of attractive women, particularly during the years of his rise to power. In later years his libido was apparently sublimated with the increase in…responsibility. Morrell believes that Hitler, although not strongly inclined to sexual activity, did have sexual intercourse with Eva Braun, though they were accustomed to sleep in separate beds," one document said.
Another report from Dr. Erwin Giesing said Hitler used cocaine to "clear his sinuses," and began craving it more because it made him happy. Giesing wrote that he had to cut Hitler's "dosage."
Giesing also wrote that he overheard Hitler, in a voice that was "unnaturally loud and a little bit screaming," make comments about his own political influence.
"My only opponent is Stalin, who is almost on the same level as I am…Bolshevism will lose against Nationalism, and I will crush East Asia," Hitler said, according to Giesing. "Churchill and Roosevelt are neither politically nor militarily a factor. England will break-up…America will take whatever is left and wipe the English empire from history…I will be the one who tips the scale between the Russians and the Anglo-Americans."
Many of the documents are in German. The cache will be auctioned May 8th and 9th at Alexander Historical Auctions.

Vince Vaughn, 43, has bought a house for $3.925 million in an area of Los Angeles one might not normally associate with actors — La Canada Flintridge.
And while the small, affluent community may not have the celebrity cachet of Hollywood Hills, he can count actress Angela Bassett and a host of entertainment-industry types among his neighbors. Plus, the schools are good. To borrow his oft-quoted phrase: It's "so money."
Still, it will be a big change from his three-level penthouse atop Chicago's Palmolive Building. That property was listed at $16.8 million until recently.
His new Colonial-style home sits on three-quarters of an acre with a pool and a sports court. There are five bedrooms, six bathrooms and 5,563 square feet of living space.
He's in the band
Martin Johnson, lead singer and songwriter for Boys Like Girls, has put his Studio City home up for sale at $1.1 million.
The three-story contemporary, built in 1978, features vaulted ceilings, balconies, canyon views, two fireplaces, two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 2,681 square feet of living space. The more than quarter-acre lot has fruit trees, a lawn and a hot tub.
Johnson has worked with Taylor Swift and Hannah Montana, among others, as a songwriter and producer.
Johnson, 27, bought the property in 2010 for $737,000.
Actress Maria Bello, 46, has sold her Craftsman home in Venice, Calif., for $2 million.
The house went into escrow seven days after it came on the market and sold for 8 percent above the asking price of $1.85 million.
Built in 1915 and set behind gates in a walk-street area, the house is a charmer — painted blue with red doors and windows and yellow accents. Features include a wood-burning fireplace, a front veranda, three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. There is a lawn, patio space and a single-car garage.
Bello bought the property in 2005 for $1.895 million.
CLOSING the BOOK
Author-screenwriter-actress Victoria Foyt has listed her longtime Westside home at $29.95 million.
Set on 3.3 acres behind antique wrought-iron gates, the 14,000-square-foot mansion was built in 1932. The Mediterranean-style home features an arched entry colonnade, an oval foyer with a grand staircase, art deco tile work, inlaid wood floors, vaulted ceilings, a sun room, carved stone fireplace mantels and a hidden bar revealed with the push of a panel.
There are 12 bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms. A 72-foot-long pool, a cabana, terraces, a guesthouse and a brook complete the grounds.
Foyt's books include The Virtual Life of Lexie Diamond and Save the Pearls: Revealing Eden.

Time for JC Penney to say goodbye to CEO?
The beleaguered retailer posts yet another dismal quarterly earnings report.
J.C. Penney (JCP) CEO Ron Johnson continues to offer investors more spin than a dreidel at Hanukkah instead of actual results. His job is now clearly in jeopardy.
The iconic Plano, Tex., retailer Friday posted quarterly results that were even more dismal than Wall Street had feared. Its net loss narrowed to $123 million, or 56 cents a share, versus $143 million, or 67 cents, a year earlier. Total sales plunged an eye-popping 26.6% to $2.93 billion. Excluding one-time items, the loss was 93 cents a share. Wall Street had forecast a loss of 7 cents on revenue of $3.27 billion, according to Dow Jones. As earnings misses go, this one's huge.
"Today, JCP is really a tale of two companies," he said in a press release. "By far the largest part of our store is the old J.C. Penney, which continues to struggle and experience significant challenges as evidenced by our third quarter results. However, the new JCP, centered around the shop concept, is gaining traction with customers every day and is surpassing our own expectations in terms of sales productivity which continues to give us confidence in our long-term business model."
It's hard to see what he means. Same-store sales, a key retail metric, plunged 26.1% during the quarter, indicating that Johnson's store-in-a-store strategy, isn't gaining traction. His gimmicks, such as free kid's haircuts and family photographs, while interesting are not enough to convince these people to actually buy J.C. Penney merchandise.
Johnson has got plenty of self-confidence. Recently, he told Fortune, "We're going to create an entirely new retail model that's built for the next 100 years." Some in the retail world are still convinced that Johnson is a genius who needs more time to realize his vision.
"Call me crazy, but this man has a reputation for vision and a track record that prompted members of the J.C. Penney board to hire him in the first place," wrote David Selby, a former Sears (SHLD,) executive, in Ad Age. "They wanted disruption, and they got it -- but disruption is very, very messy and takes time."
While Selby has a point, his call for patience doesn't carry the same weight as Bill Ackman's. The head of Pershing Square Capital, which owns about an 18% stake in J.C. Penney -- far the retailer's largest shareholder -- earlier this year had argued that the retailer's future under Johnson was bright. Whether he still feels that way is not clear.
If Johnson fails to produce decent results during the holiday season -- and the odds are against him -- the board will be forced throw in the towel and fire him. J.C. Penney would then be forced to sell itself at a fire sale.

Re:Similar bug in iOS (349 comments)
Hmm that doesn't make sense. iOS updates are delta updates and have been since they first introduced the feature where you can update on the device itself.
Only when doing complete version upgrades (e.g. iOS 6 to iOS 7) does it download the entire OS. Or if you download updates via iTunes instead of on the device.
I just updated my iPhone 5S yesterday from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 and it was just a 32mb download.
Hue (196 comments)
One of my last purchase was the Phillips Hue starter kit which was like $200. And then I think I got some generic 40W style white LED bulbs for about $16. But I haven't used them yet so I'll just ignore them and go with the Hue and say $200 so I voted "Cost $20 or more"

Re:Yes, it invoked the multitasking screen but... (135 comments)
Actually the only security problem seems to be the Camera app. Since the camera app is allowed from the lock screen if you open it via the multitask screen while using this trick it opens the full camera app.
Normally the camera app when password protected can take new photos and can't access old ones but when you do it this way you have full access to the camera roll. You can delete photos, share them (txt, email, twitter, facebook, etc).
So that's a security issue.
Re:Yes, it invoked the multitasking screen but... (135 comments)
Yeah I got the same. I can see the apps and can close them but most are just dark blank screens and not the actual app and none can open. The only thing that opens is the alarm app and if you click the home screen one it just goes back to the lock screen.
As far as I can tell as long as your lock screen is password protected it won't show any part of the app other than the initial view (e.g. a blank safari, or a splash screen of the app). So for example if you were viewing an email it doesn't seem the email will be visible in the multitask screen.
Now if you're not password protected (either off or you don't require a passcode immediately) and do the same trick the multitask screen shows everything and you can switch apps but that's fine since you can already unlock without a password.
So it doesn't seem to be that big of an issue.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, is a procedure to remove excess fat and skin of the upper arm between the elbow and the underarm area. Loose, sagging skin is often the result of aging or dramatic weight fluctuation, such as after gastric bypass surgery. In some cases, this extra skin is merely the result of natural aging or one's genetic makeup.
There are different types of brachioplasty offered based on the individual's specific physical findings, such as the location and extent of skin laxity and the amount of fatty tissue in the area. In some cases, the incision can be more limited to the area of the underarm, but most often the best results occur when the scar is longer, extending to the elbow. During the procedure excess skin and loose tissue is removed primarily from the back of the arm. Brachioplasties can be combined with liposuction to remove additional fatty tissue. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and can be combined with other procedures such as breast lifts, tummy tucks, or liposuction of other areas.
The results from a brachioplasty can be dramatic in terms of improving shape and eliminating the "jiggling" of the arms that can accompany laxity. In addition, exercise and "arm toning" after surgery can often be quite effective to create a more athletic appearance. To help hide the scarring your surgeon will position the scar more toward the inside and back of the arm. The sutures used during brachioplasty are generally absorbable, and in many cases a drain is not necessary, so arm lifts generally heal quickly, with return to most daily activities in a week or two. On occasion, patients may experience swelling of the fingers, hands, or lower arm during the healing period. This is usually improved by elevation of the arms and typically goes away within a few weeks.

New York's Carmelo Anthony and three others were thrown out of a foul-filled game, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Knicks for the second time this season, 110-106, Friday night in Madison Square Garden.
Knicks center Tyson Chandler and Bulls counterpart Joakim Noah were tossed after a fourth-quarter altercation, shortly after New York coach Mike Woodson had been ejected following his second technical. He drew a loud ovation during his walk to the locker room from Knicks fans who angrily booed the officiating for much of the second half.

Chapel, Outside Managua, c1921
This is one of a dozen or so plates (images), likely removed from an unknown book. A friend acquired these when he bought some other items in Amapala Island more than 30 years ago. The actual images are 18x23 cm (about 7x9"), on paper 28x33 cm. All were framed long ago, and this email jpg is shot through the glass and cropped. I don't know the photographer or exact locale, or the name of the book from which they were likely removed. The photo quality of the originals are remarkably good, and I suspect they were produced in book-form in limited numbers. I didn't recognize any of the images as having been in other common books or encyclopedias, or used on postcards, etc. If anyone has more information regarding any of these images (all are entered here and can be searched under "Orbis-Zentralamerika", I would appreciate that information. The labels from the back are in code of some sort, and the phrase is not the title of the book; I suspect "P" refers to "Plate", and "C" to "Copyright" - but that is only a guess. If the latter is copyright, it is likely the date of the book copyright, not the date the image was taken. If these are plate numbers then it would seem there are many other images in this series. The aging paper label on the back of this one reads: Orbis-Zentralamerika: P-09 C-1921 Nicaragua.

Serif Photoplus X4 Review
Review Date :
Author : Matt Tuffin
An inexpensive photo editing package or underpowered toy?
Serif Photoplus X4 is a photo editing package aimed at those looking to develop their skills, rather than the established user. With a host of options contained within a friendly interface and a price significantly under the £100 mark, Photoplus X4 has obvious attributes to be competition for Photoshop Elements.
The PC-only Photoplus X4 offers a fair amount of improvements over it's predecessor, including a new look and selection tools. The former makes the layout welcoming to even a complete beginner, as the majority of the tools can be found via a series of simple-to-understand icons and by hovering the mouse in the correct area an explanation for the tool appears. On opening the program a help window is available, explaining every element from opening a document to removing blemishes. The selection tools are contained within the Image Cutout Studio, which appears much like the Filter Gallery, popping up in a separate window. Don't expect anything on a par with a Content Aware Fill, but the coloured selections and brush-based tools make the process a touch easier.
Opening Raw files prompts a separate window to appear to perform any pre-editing changes, such as exposure and white balance. The only issue with this feature occurred when a Samsung Raw file was used, as the software both failed to recognize or open it. The Cutout Studio failed to work for Raw files as well, working for the likes of JPEGs without issue. Alternatively the Makeover Studio works fine, although unlike the Cutout Studio there's no separate window to open, purely a modified version of the help window. Within these options is a chance to allow the software to perform the adjustment, although the nature of the tools means it's simple enough to make the changes manually. Plugins can either be downloaded specifically from Serif or Photoshop options can be used.
At £70 Serif PhotoPlus is well within the price range of Photoshop Elements and, on the surface at least, will offer the beginner a similar experience. Dig a little deeper however and you'll discover Serif Photoplus works much like a version of Elements from a few generations ago, with the basic set of tools to be expected of a photo editing program.
Everything is laid out in a perfectly acceptable manner, and is easy to access as well, but there's little in the way of innovation other than separating a few features into different windows. With the value taken into account and the availability of the plugins there's no real reason to opt for this over Photoshop Elements.

"Someone came down and said there would be a high tide at 11pm and there's a risk of a surge, that's about all I have been told."
He said the shop had not flooded in the 11 years he had been there, but has moved stock back and off the ground as much as possible.

Residents in Sutton Scotney are describing "flash floods".
Yesterday soldiers helped to build sandbank barriers after the The Post Office, the Coach and Horses pub, and several cottages flooded.
Jo Phillips, of Witts Cottage, said: "It came up to my ankle. It was a bit scary and you just do not know how fast it was going to keep coming up."
Clive Wilson, 50, of Pear Tree Cottage, which was one of the worst affected buildings, said: "It's very sad, I must say. My wife is very upset about the whole thing. It's not a nice feeling.
"It is exceptional circumstances but as a village we have got to allow for that and work to the worst case scenario."
Winchester City Council's head of new homes delivery, Andrew Palmer, has been assigned to the village to support and liaise with the control in Winchester.
"I was out here in the morning and the water just came up in no time. It was just 'whoosh!' Staggering, really," he said.
@Traffic_SouthE Ringwood: Hightown Road, Crow lane and surrounding area is blocked by flood water near to the Elm Tree pub @RingwoodPolice— @Chrishood57 14 February 2014
This is the full warning from the Environment Agency.
The time and date of high water is 23:02 on Friday 14/02/2014.
The total forecast high water is 2.40 mAOD, which is the equivalent of 4.38 mCD. The wind is Force 10 South westerly.
This warning is being issued as a precautionary measure. Forecast tide levels are significant and will be very close to the top of the sea wall which protects most of Lymington and Keyhaven.
Some wave overtopping of the sea wall may occur at high water tonight. Most of the properties located behind the sea wall should be well protected behind the defence.
Our river defence scheme will also be operated. This includes closing the gate across the toll bridge to stop any water flowing down Waterloo Road. Our staff will be at Town Slip near the Ship Inn pub to over pump the water.
The fire service are also providing pumps. Properties at Town Slip remain at greatest risk if the pump cannot cope with ingress of tide water. Water could be half a metre deep in this location if pumping is unsuccessful.
A severe flood warning has been issued for Lymington and Keyhaven.

Dozens of portaloos have been delivered to residents in Littleton.
Around 100 houses in North Drive, Pitter Close, Fyfield Way and South Drive were without toilets and washing facilities.
That number is expected to rise to 132 as ground water continues to rise in South Drive.

The crypt underneath Winchester Cathedral is under a metre of water.
This is not due to the river, but rather groundwater seeping in.
This is the man-made lake between the M3 motorway and the village of Easton, to the north of Winchester.
By flooding the field, the Environment Agency hopes it will prevent the city flooding.
The drains in Test Lane in Southampton are beginning to reach bursting point.
Traffic management director of the Highways Agency, Simon Sheldon-Wilson, said: "We are constantly monitoring the potential impact of severe weather on our network and are working closely with the Met Office to ensure we have the most up-to-date information to be able to inform drivers.
"We have got extra traffic officers working across the network to deal with any incidents."
The Met Office has also forecast more rain across the network, with another 15 to 25mm of rainfall expected. The already saturated south of England may experience up to 40mm locally, bringing further flooding issues to the prone areas.
There is a particular risk that high-sided vehicles, caravans and motorbikes could be blown over and the Highways Agency is strongly advising that these types of vehicles are not used during the next few days.
Littleton is still flooded. Pls try and avoid travelling through the village because of the road closure on Andover Road. #hantsflood— @CityCopsWinch 14 February 2014
Southern Water has confirmed the works previously carried out at Colden Common have been suspended for at least four more weeks.
Main Road, north of Church Lane, had been closed at the start of January for essential water works.
However, as a result of the ongoing flooding problems, Main Road has since partially re-opened to the public.
Colin Wright, principal transport officer for Hampshire County Council, said: "As you may now be aware, the closure of the section of Main Road for works by Southern Water has been suspended for at least four weeks, owing to the need to keep the road open to relieve pressure on the county council's road network caused by flooding issues elsewhere.
"I have conveyed this information to both Brijan and Stagecoach and can now confirm that bus services 8 and 69 will revert to their normal routes and timetables from February 17. The shuttle buses on each route will cease after close of service on Saturday, February 15. The bus companies are responsible for communicating this more widely to their passengers and will have this in hand.
"School bus operators and schools have also been advised and routes have already returned to normal.
"I will continue to liaise with colleagues at Hampshire County Council and Southern Water regarding the new date for this closure, and with the bus companies regarding any measures that may be necessary for that period. A further update will be provided in advance of the closure taking place."

Greatbridge Road in Romsey.

In Hambledon, water levels on roads remain high but a drop of 0.8m (2ft 6) in 24 hours was recorded at the borehole at Broadhalfpenny Down on February 14.
An inch of rain is expected to fall today and tonight with a further couple of inches on Sunday and Monday from the forthcoming storms.
Tony Higham , chairman of Hambledon Flood Action Group, said: "We are concerned about the impact of tonight's storm, probably the worst yet, and the potential for power cuts which will be devastating for the properties pumping and relying on the 1000 or so electric pumps to keep homes dry.
"Accordingly I have requested from the Winchester Crisis Centre military manpower to be ready in the Village Hall tonight to help deploy motor driven pumps and generators as I think most of our volunteers will be busy with their own properties if this happens."
A CONCRETE blockade stopping access to a Hampshire flood-hit industrial estate was targeted overnight.
The blocks were laid down in Greatbridge Road, Romsey last night after police took the decision that the rising water levels posed a risked to life.
But in the early hours of the morning, one of the concrete blocks was moved, making it possible to drive a vehicle through the barrier.
So this afternoon, the blocks will be filled with sand to make it impossible for the blockage to be moved.
As previously reported, businesses on the industrial estate were left furious when they were given four hours notice yesterday afternoon that the road would be completely shut off.
The last car to go through before the road block is set up in Greatbridge Road.
Workers carry equipment and materials in Budds Lane.
Following up the last tweet from Hampshire police, this happened just a couple of weeks ago in Hampshire.

Addressing the House of Parliament yesterday, George Hollingbery MP for Meon Valley, said: "Yesterday marked the passage of 40 days and 40 long nights since Hambledon was first flooded by emerging groundwater and no-one has any idea when the flooding will recede.
"Only through the titanic efforts of the local community and responding agencies have many of the houses in the village been saved thus far from inundation.
"But at huge cost to the lives of the residents. Every night they sleep in shifts to monitor their pumps. Every day they wake up wondering if today's the day they will flood. The village is largely cut off from the rest of the world.
"Mr Speaker, an engineering solution that will avert most of this now nearly biannual flooding has been drawn up and costed but funding remains the sticking point.
"Can I ask the Minister if he will meet with me and potential partner agencies to try and agree a deal and get this vital work done as soon as possible."
This message was sent out to numerous residents across Hambledon yesterday.
One Winchester resident, Dan Noakes, 30, said: "Today I am just trying to see if Hampshire Fire, the Environment Agency or council can give us another pump. They cleared the road yesterday and then we have kept the water level down with my pump.
"But because of the sandbags the water is now building up between the houses and the sandbags."

Higginz says
I just heard a duck complaining.
In Winchester's Water Lane, just a river level rise of one foot would be enough to flood the street.
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service's assistant chief, Neil Odin, today said that it would only take a one foot rise in the river level for it spill over the wall onto the road.
He said: "It's 50:50 in Water Lane at the moment. We don't know what's coming and what will happen.
"It would only take the river to rise another foot and the water would be over the main wall, so that is a possibility but we just don't know if that will happen or not."
"We are working with people as much as we can, not only with resources but also giving them advice."
TROOPS and environment officers will join forces on another groundbreaking plan to battle flooding in Hampshire.
They will use huge sandbags to divert channels of water from Fishlake Stream in Romsey, easing the flow of water into the town.
It follows the unique new flood defence near Winchester, Easton, where two streams of the River Itchen have been partially blocked to divert water onto former water meadows.
Work at the site, just north of the Duke's Head Pub in Great Bridge Road, is due to start at around 2pm today.
Mike O'Neill, an operations manager at the Environment Agency, said today: "It's critical now. We're all working really hard and levels are lower, but we're expecting another 35ml of rain. On top of what we've already had, that is critical now.
"Winchester and Romsey are the areas we're really focused on because they have the greatest number of houses and we encourage people to take action themselves too, to protect their own property," he said.
Winchester City Council has confirmed they have distributed a total of 15,000 sandbags in preparation for those areas most affected by the flooding.
Details about where to buy sandbags can be found by visiting the Winchester City Council website.
As communities across Hampshire deal with and prepare for more flooding here are 17 photos of flooding across the county over the last 100 years.

well I'm glad leighton's still acting! thanks for posting Theresa! and K, ITA with that post. I can't believe people think Chuck is going to die. No way would they do that :P while I know it's foolish to underestimate the writers' idiocy, I think it's safe to say that this won't happen :)
vote for CB! we're 2nd right now! http://portraitmagazine.net
So Leighton is shooting a new movie, that's good for her.
Chuck and Blair are the best hope for happiness viewers have onscreen. Serena (Blake Lively) and Dan (Penn Badgley) have a lot of history between them, but recent events have not given us a compelling reason that they must be together. What Chuck and Blair offer is an honest look at how hard people struggle to be together, even with family, friends, status, pasts, and futures in the way.
If Chuck dies, in such an unceremonious and unreasonable way as a plane crash, the show should not even bother having a finale. That will be the end for the last remaining fans who have stuck around to be sure that the unlikely and deeply-flawed love they have rooted for for all these years, will finally be complete. That is the endgame and any other outcome is unacceptable."
I love this, thank you for posting it, K. I am sure, that the writers won't kill off Chuck. It would be completely pointless to end the show this way.
The Road to Goodbye This Monday, December 10th, join with @savechuckblair to celebrate the fans who make this fandom so fun! At 7PM EST (12AM GMT) we are trending "Chairleader for life". Then later watch 6x09 and live-tweet the episode with us. @savechuckblair will provide a streaming link for those who need it.

If you've become eligible for Medicare in the recent past and have signed up for it, you're probably now aware of its shortcomings too. You're probably also aware of how Medicare Supplement Insurance can help you cover the gaps that Medicare leaves behind, but you would like more information before you invest money into a monthly premium payment. The good thing about already being on Medicare is that you are now guaranteed issue of a Medicare supplement. This gives you the opportunity to work out the ideal plan that covers you at the best price possible.
One of the foremost decisions that you will need to make concern the manner in which you would like your benefits from Medicare to reach you. You can continue to receive them through Original Medicare of course if that's what you prefer, or even from Medicare Advantage if you've signed up for one of those privatized plans. Many people seem to move away from Medicare Advantage mainly because of their limited and restrictive network of physicians and clinics. Medicare Supplement Insurance, in contrast, gives you a wide network from which to choose. The other downside of having Medicare Advantage is that they have the final say when it comes to whether a treatment should be covered or not. Medicare supplements usually work in your favor and your claims have a greater chance of success.
Get in touch with an agent today and you can sort out all the details for your Medical Supplement Insurance over the phone itself.

A permanent shelter for abused women and their children in Tracy is still on the immediate radar of Women's Center Youth and Family Services CEO Joelle Gomez.
"I know that perfect house is out there," she said Thursday, Aug. 22. "We're looking really, really hard. If we get a house we can double our capacity. It's been really hard to find a place with a larger capacity and the right location."
On Friday, Aug. 16, Gomez said she made an offer on a Tracy house near the downtown area, but on Thursday, the sellers' realtor told her it was off the market.
Although disappointed, she said she was not giving up the search.
"We're looking at three other houses today," Gomez said Thursday. "Everyday is a new day, and I'm hoping we'll get lucky today."
The objective is to find a location to replace the former women's shelter, Tree House Shelter that closed its doors on Feb. 27 because of disrepair.
Gomez said they are looking for a site that can house 20 women and children, which is significantly larger than the former shelter's capacity of eight.
Funding the shelter purchase are a $100,000 donation from Sutter Tracy Community Hospital and two grants from the city of Tracy's HOME fund, totaling $518,000.
Hoping to be in escrow for the new shelter by Sept. 30, Gomez said they want to be up and running by Oct. 1.
On May 1, center officials expanded their Tracy connection by opening a referral office inside the Tracy Police Department annex building at 400 E. 10th St.
The office enables the center staff to help people victimized by domestic violence and sexual assault and provide them with referrals to county and state services.
Gomez said a second satellite office could be set up in the shelter once it opens.

Boeing, U.S. Army Complete First Emarss Flight
Boeing and the U.S. Army completed the first flight of an enhanced medium-altitude reconnaissance and surveillance system (Emarss) aircraft in late May. The modified Beechcraft King Air 350ER is the first of four Emarss engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) aircraft that Boeing is developing for the Army.
The twin turboprop flew for more than four hours from the Beechcraft facility in Wichita, Kansas, on May 22. The flight tested aerodynamic handling qualities, aircraft systems and autopilot functions and was a "key event" leading to limited user tests and a Milestone C low-rate initial production (LRIP) decision, Boeing said. The Army's Fiscal Year 2014 budget submission contains $142 million to procure four LRIP aircraft and convert the four EMD aircraft to production standard. The service seeks another two LRIP aircraft in Fiscal Year 2015.
Emarss is a "multi-int" platform designed to detect, identify and geolocate surface targets. The aircraft is equipped with a retractable electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor ball with full motion video, a communications intelligence (Comint) collection system, aerial precision geolocation system, line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications suite, two distributed common ground system-army (DCGS-A) operator workstations and a self-protection suite. Last October, Boeing flew a "risk-reduction prototype" to test the effects of added fairings for sensors on the aircraft's aerodynamics.
The Army awarded Boeing a contract to produce four EMD systems in November 2010. Work was stopped two months later after losing contractors L-3 and Northrop Grumman filed protests with the Government Accountability Office, which later dismissed the protests. The army plans to assign Emarss aircraft to aerial exploitation battalions operated by its Intelligence and Security Command.

Adele has so far kept the details of her son's birth under wraps, but she may be forced to reveal them very soon. The British paper The Sun reports that Adele and her baby daddy, Simon Konecki , have failed to register the birth within the 42-day legal deadline.
According to The Sun , Adele gave birth 51 days ago -- October 19 -- and now registrars in the U.K. have confirmed that neither she nor Simon have made an appointment to register the kid. Failure to do so could result in a fine of a thousand pounds. That's about $1,600 dollars.
According to the British government , among the information parents should be expected to provide while registering births are the place and date of the birth, the name, surname and sex of the baby, and the parents' names and addresses. If Adele and Simon register the birth, the baby's name, which is still a mystery, would presumably become a matter of public record.
It's unlikely that Adele and Simon will face a visit from the cops due to their negligence. A source tells The Sun, "There's loads of reasons why parents are late and millions of couples don't bother for ages." They will start to get warning letters, though, and if three months goes by, the fine might kick in.

I'm an elementary school teacher. Eventually, I'd like to pursue my doctorate.
I was originally in a bachelors program at another college, but was very unhappy with my experience. I called Milligan at the suggestion of a friend. Even though I was applying at the 11th hour, the faculty and staff took the time to help me with paperwork and the acceptance process. I knew that if a college cares that much about their new students, then it was the place for me!
The best part about Milligan is the faculty and staff! I have never seen a college that cares this much. I was successful and achieved more than I would have anywhere! I do not believe that you can fail when you have as much support as the Milligan professors and staff give to their students.
Milligan is a blessing to me and really made me aware of the generosity and spirit of others. I learned to work harder, reach further and expect more from myself over the time I spent here. I learned that God has a greater plan for me and with Him all things are possible. Milligan helped me to realize my potential and I will be forever grateful for my experience.
