If you choose the hold option, your transcript won't be processed until all your faculty have submitted evaluations.
Before You Order
Computer requirements: the transcript ordering system works most consistently with the Firefox browser.
Make sure you don't have any holds on your account.
Know your transcript recipient's requirements:
- Paper or electronic
- Any special requirements: law schools and overseas schools often have specific requirements
- If paper, mailing address
- If electronic, email address
- Any additional contact information, specific names, etc.
Make sure your recipient knows what to expect from an Evergreen transcript. Because our transcripts look different from other schools' transcripts, they are sometimes mis-handled. If you can get a specific name or office for your recipient, please do.
You can pay online via Visa, American Express, Discover, and MasterCard, with a 2.75% processing fee. You can also pay via electronic check without a fee.
After Your Order Is Submitted
All transcript orders, both paper and electronic, take one to five business days for processing.

If it's going to take longer than 5 days because of unusual problems or other circumstances, we'll let you know.
You can always check the status of your order on my.evergreen.edu.
If a hold goes on your account after you order but before we process it, we will not send out your transcript until you deal with your hold.
Electronic transcripts and summaries are available immediately after processing. You and your recipient will receive an email when your transcript is ready.
Paper transcripts are sent by USPS. Mailing time may vary depending on distance and time of year.
If the recipient says they didn't get the transcript
Double-check the contact information. If you submitted the wrong information, you will need to order a new transcript. If you do need to reorder, let us know, and we can expedite your request.

SNHU teams in NCAA tournaments this weekend
November 05. 2012 10:44PM
The Southern New Hampshire University men's soccer team, ranked 15th in the nation, received some good news on Monday. The Penmen earned a bid to the NCAA Division II men's soccer tournament and received a first-round bye in East Regional games played at SNHU's Larkin Field this weekend.
The tourney begins on Friday with No. 3 Merrimack College (14-3-2) facing No. 6 seed Franklin Pierce University (11-5-2) at 6 p.m. The No. 2 Penmen (17-3) will face the winner of that contest Sunday at 3 p.m. Southern New Hampshire, which captured its fourth Northeast-10 tournament championship on Sunday, earned its 18th overall appearance in the NCAA Division II tournament.
Ticket prices for each game are $6 for adults and $2 for students with ID, seniors and children 12 and under. Children ages 2 and under are free. SNHU students with valid ID will be admitted free on Sunday, courtesy of the SNHU Student Government Association.
Women's soccer
Southern New Hampshire earned the No. 5 seed in the East Region of the NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Championship and also hosts first- and second-round games this weekend. The Penmen (13-5-3) host No. 4 Dowling College (13-3-2) on Friday at 3 p.m. at Larkin Field. The winner advances to face No. 1 LIU-Post (15-2-2) on Sunday at noon. The Penmen earned an automatic berth into the field of 48 by capturing the program's first Northeast-10 tournament championship on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Adelphi University. SNHU is making its third all-time NCAA appearance.
The University of New Hampshire football team, which took care of business at home with a 28-25 triumph against William & Mary on Saturday, gained one spot in the national polls and moved to 10th on Monday. The Wildcats (8-2 overall) are ranked No. 10 in both The Sports Network FCS Top 25 and the FCS Coaches Poll. UNH has won 10 straight at Cowell Stadium.
The UNH men's hockey team (5-1-1), ranked ninth in the country, didn't gain any ground in the USCHO.com Division I Men's Poll this week. Boston College remains atop the poll, which consists of 50 voters, including 28 coaches from Division I conferences and 22 beat writers and sports professionals from across the country.

MARCH MAG MADNESS: Fashion magazines pushed ahead in March, with most major books squeezing out advertising page gains — some more sizeable than others.
In what has become a kind of rivalry for bragging rights between Condé Nast's Vogue and Time Inc.'s InStyle, Vogue came out on top in March. The fashion title amassed 470 ad pages, a 13-page, or 3 percent, increase over the year-ago issue.
This story first appeared in the January 23, 2014 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"We don't have a ton of attrition thanks to the strength of the brand," said Vogue publisher Susan Plagemann. "If you look cumulatively, we are up 26 percent over five years."
Ad revenue came from mainstay markets such as fashion, beauty, watches and jewelry, as well as from technology, a growing industry for new dollars.
InStyle had 367 ad pages, which constituted a 2 percent, or six-page, gain over last March.
Elsewhere at Condé Nast, top performers included W, which reeled in 22 new pages for a 10.7 percent gain, and Glamour, which increased its pages by 13 for an 8.2 percent rise. Allure sold 12 more pages, up 10 percent, as Vanity Fair expanded by three pages for a 1.1 percent increase. GQ earned a 5 percent rise, but Details, Lucky and Teen Vogue were not as fortunate. Ad pages at Details declined 4 percent, or five pages, as Teen Vogue fell 22 percent, or 27.6 pages.
Lucky, which under new editor in chief Eva Chen is in the process of refining its readership to appeal to a somewhat affluent, fashionable twenty- to thirtysomething, saw its pages slip 14.4 percent, or by 14.7 pages.
At Hearst, Elle grew ad pages to 342, up 11 or 3.3 percent, due in part to new business from luxury brands Givenchy and Carven. Harper's Bazaar published its largest March issue ever, according to the company, as it logged 334 pages, or a 1.3 percent rise from 330 pages last year.
Town & Country clocked a 19 percent expansion in pages from last year's 75-page tally. The lion's share of the increase was linked to a special 10-page front cover unit with a smattering of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton brands.
Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan ended March essentially flat. Marie Claire added two pages, up 0.3 percent, for a total of 209, while Cosmo's pages equaled 144, up a page from last March.

Protesters prepare for Eastside Village rally
PROTESTERS will wave homemade placards at a rally opposing the development of a fast-food precinct in East Toowoomba next Saturday.
Friends of the Toowoomba Range spokeswoman Kate Powell expects hundreds of concerned residents to make their resistance to the construction of Eastside Village heard.
Plans to install traffic lights at the busy Herries-Cohoe Sts intersection lie at the centre of the dispute.
Residents have also opposed the plan to build a 24-hour McDonald's restaurant, KFC and take-away arcade in the area.
"We believe it is an inappropriate place for that scale of development," Ms Powell said.
"The peaceful protest is aimed at simply keeping attention drawn to the fact that thousands of people are against this.
"We are asking everyone to wear blue clothing to emphasise a sense of solidarity and to bring placards or banners expressing their anger with (council) and about the development itself."
Ms Powell's group will lodge a notice of appeal to the Planning and Environment Court on Wednesday.
Council and the developer will then have 10 business days to respond.
"I've had calls nearly every day from complete strangers expressing their support for the campaign and anger that this decision could ever have been passed," Ms Powell said.
The protest will run from 9-10am on Saturday, February 9 at the Herries St nature strip adjacent to the proposed development site.
Police have asked that no protesters park cars in Herries St between Curzon and Cohoe Sts.

1. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastec.pfaffenbichler May 5, 2009 11:13 PM (in response to sfjedi)1 person found this helpful
Just a hint: Selecting a Layer's transparency prior to copying would result in shrinking soft edges, so Select All (command-A) might be a better idea in this case.
2. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 6, 2009 12:10 AM (in response to c.pfaffenbichler)
I didn't realize that was the case. Thank you very much for your tip! Problem is, even your tip doesn't fully copy a layer. That is, if your layer extends beyond the bounds of the document then those portions will not be copied. If this feature request were implemented you could cut or copy the entire layer! Regardless of where its bounds are.
3. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pasteharry teasley May 6, 2009 6:59 AM (in response to sfjedi)
Just drag the layer to the New Layer button on your Layers palette. Or give Duplicate Layer a keyboard shortcut you like.
My point: your feature exists in Photoshop already.
My real point: the workflow in PS is not the same as in Photo-paint. Get over it.
4. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and PasteReynolds (Mark) May 6, 2009 8:28 AM (in response to harry teasley)
Jed - here are some ways in Photoshop to do the same as you want "copy and paste" layers…
1 Using the move tool (V key) Option DRAGGING layers duplicates them - this works both within the document window OR in the layers panel. Simply option dragging a layer up or down in the layers panel gives you a duplicate.
2 Command J at any time duplicates layers
3 Keyboard shortcuts to duplicate layers can be assigned either with the keyboard shortcuts or by using ACTIONS with function keys
4 dragging down to the new layer icon is actually the slowest available way in photoshop to duplicate layers
5 Duplicating layers is available from either the layers panel drop down menu, OR from Layer/Duplicate layer
Copy and paste in Photoshop are more powerful - this clipboard can include pixel content, text, layer styles - its much more complex than Photopaint and hence much more powerful. The simpler ways I've detailed above, are much better ways, get used to them.
5. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 6, 2009 3:52 PM (in response to Reynolds (Mark))
Thanks for the help guys, but I don't see anywhere that I've mentioned duplication in this discussion. I'm 100% aware that Photoshop can duplicate layers and I've already reassigned my keyboard shortcut CTRL+D to perform this action.
Harry, you are wrong. These features are not already included in Photoshop. This has nothing to do with workflow, but features that are totally void in Photoshop.
Reynolds, your assumption that Corel PHOTO-PAINT doesn't also have complex layer information is off. It has many of the same features as Photoshop, including adjustment layers, clip masks, layer masks, and layer effects; though, they call them different things. And in Corel PHOTO-PAINT you can group layers together and cut, copy and paste them wherever you want, even across documents or into a separate application.
Copying, cutting and pasting are all different than duplicating. In Photoshop, you can have a layer selected and hit CTRL+C or CTRL+X and it won't do anything! It won't copy anything! You have to do a mask selection in order to copy the layer and even then it won't copy the layer outside of the document bounds. I really don't see how it would hurt to cut or copy a layer when currently nothing is assigned to this keyboard shortcut. That is, when a layer is selected and nothing else.
That aside, I've never made any claims that Photoshop is less powerful than Corel PHOTO-PAINT. I'm fully aware that Photoshop can do much more than Corel PHOTO-PAINT as a whole. My only argument is that Corel PHOTO-PAINT is simply more intuitive and efficient in "some" of the step processes it takes to accomplish certain goals and who are we to ignore these things when we can make Photoshop a more powerful tool?
I mean, just think about it. Assuming all of my feature requests were implemented into Photoshop, what leg would Corel PHOTO-PAINT have to stand on? Price is really the only thing left.
And notice that I'm not taking the effort to tell Corel PHOTO-PAINT to be like Adobe Photoshop, because I realize there's no way they're going to catch up. So who am I really supporting? The answer is simple. Adobe Photoshop!
I'm just trying to make it better guys. None of the features I've requested will hurt Photoshop. They can only make it better.

For values of "better" that include "different in ways that will anger every experienced PS user".
7. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 6, 2009 4:49 PM (in response to harry teasley)
Harry, your argument is ridiculous!
This cut, copy and paste feature request couldn't possibly anger any experienced PS user because they would NEVER hit CTRL+X or CTRL+C in the first place! Not when nothing but a layer is selected anyway.
Why do I think this? Because currently no command is assigned to these keyboard shortcuts when nothing but a layer is selected!
If you want to make your argument give me a specific example and why it would anger an experienced PS user. Otherwise, you're just blowing smoke!
8. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pasteharry teasley May 6, 2009 7:07 PM (in response to sfjedi)
I don't want Ctrl-C or Ctrl-X to do something when I'm not expecting them to. Ctrl-C and Ctrl-X work on active selections: that's what I expect, that's what every application I use does. No application I use that uses layers uses Ctrl-C and Ctrl-X to operate on the layer when nothing is actively selected (and that's more than just PS, in case you think I'm being funny).
I would say that Photo-paint is defying common UI convention in this way, and that PS is more predictable. And since you can get the ultimate end you want, either with Duplicate Layer (via any one of a few ways) or by dragging a layer into an open document, you do in fact have what you want, just just don't have your idiosyncratic way of doing it. Learn that your way is not the only good way.
9. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 6, 2009 11:34 PM (in response to harry teasley)
I really don't understand what your beef is with this request, man!
If you only want them to work on active selections, well... the layer is selected; thus, an active selection. And why should you care if it does anything if you would never hit it in the first place w/o an active selection? If you make such a mistake you can always undo! Even if Fireworks or whatever other program doesn't do it either, that doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. And if you have such a huge problem with it, then make it an option users can turn on/off.
I never made any claims that my way is the "only good way" and the fact that you even phrased it that way shows that you're just trying to be a jerk about it. Your whole attitude sucks, man! Just because you don't like it doesn't mean other people won't. Apparently though, you seem to think "your way" is the only good way, because you're really trying hard to make sure Adobe doesn't respond to this or any one of my other requests.
10. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pasteharry teasley May 7, 2009 4:44 AM (in response to sfjedi)
You clearly don't understand the purpose of the forum: it's a place to discuss requests. I haven't asked you to stop posting, or be quiet. I've commented on the general lack of quality of several of your requests, in that the general theme is, "Make it like the thing I already know!" My ability to mask your requests from Adobe must be some sort of strange power I was unaware I had.
By all means, keep talking.
11. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and PasteReynolds (Mark) May 7, 2009 7:06 AM (in response to sfjedi)
Jed. The thing is this - what you are asking would actually be a move backwards for Photoshop, not an improvement. As I tried to tell you before, copying and pasting deals with CONTENT, not layer structure elements. This is very fundamental to Photoshop. The clipboard has to be used to hold content, not superficial interface things or layer structure. For good reason, and its the same in most high-end applications because it is best this way.
The layers panel, its ease of use - the ways to duplicate, restructure and organise are extremely well designed at present. Although word on the street has it, that some people are looking to change this.
Practically, the keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste (command C followed by Command V) are more complex than a simple command J or Option drag, anyway.
12. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 7, 2009 11:56 AM (in response to Reynolds (Mark))
I don't want to "change" the way Photoshop handles layers. I just want to "add" to it! And if you guys don't like it then fine! You can turn the feature off, but at least people like me would have the option to use it.
The thing is, Corel PHOTO-PAINT also uses CTRL+C to copy CONTENT, as you say. In fact, it works just the same as Photoshop in every respect of layer duplication and dragging and dropping. It just does more!
Layer structure elements are a collection of content, so I don't see the fundamental problem here.
A simple Command+J or Option+drag aren't going to let me cut a layer and paste it into another document. I realize you can drag and drop a layer from one document to another, but what if you like to keep your documents maximized? Sure, you can duplicate the layer and it asks you which document you want it placed in, but what if all of your documents are currently named Untitled-1, Untitled-2, etc. and you don't remember what the name of the layer is where you wanted to paste this layer? Logically, it would be a more simple path to cut the layer first, click the document tabs until you verify that you've got the right one, then paste the layer where it belongs!
Thing is, why do you guys feel copying and pasting has to be limited to mask selections? You realize that you can also "select" layers in Photoshop? Programmatically, if your mouse focus is on the layers panel and you just selected a layer, it's only logical that a CTRL+C would mean that you want to copy that entire layer!
I don't see how this is a step backwards.
13. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and PasteZeno Bokor May 7, 2009 12:05 PM (in response to sfjedi)
select the layer you want to copy, go to Layer->Duplicate and select the document in which you want to paste it
14. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 7, 2009 12:25 PM (in response to Zeno Bokor)
You obviously didn't read my whole post just above yours, because I already stressed how I'm 100% aware of what you just said and I gave a scenario in which your method would not help at all! Rather than writing it all over again, I urge you to read the entire post if you haven't already, and if you haven't, you really should before responding with a supposed solution.
15. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and PasteReynolds (Mark) May 7, 2009 12:43 PM (in response to sfjedi)
Again Jed, you make a strong argument. I think those are fair points and to be honest, in the end, its a reasonable enough request.
Have to say that I personally am not so sure that copying and pasting entire layer structures, including all attached masks will really work. Because clipboard on high res files could then be enormous, equivalent to entire file sizes. It would mean a major rearrangement of the way that Photoshops clipboard is structured at present I think. But its an idea
16. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 7, 2009 12:54 PM (in response to Reynolds (Mark))
Yeah, I see where you're going with that, but when you consider the file size of the mask it's always a totally flat, grayscale image. Now, copying a collection of layers would be quite intense on file size! I totally agree with you there, but there's always solutions to problems like this.
As a programmer, here's how I might solve these types of issues. If the user has enough RAM for the copy, by all means go for it, but if the clipboard contents would exceed a reasonable amount then I could always prompt the user and ask them what they want to do. Do they want to cancel their copy command or go ahead with a slow, virtual memory-stored solution? Then, at least they know WHY it's being slow (because it's using virtual memory to achieve the task). And if the prompt gets too annoying they can always check the box that says "never show me this message again!"
I think too many programmers give up when thing seem too difficult. They just scrap the design and go back to square one. In my opinion though, these are generally not good programmers. They lack the creativity to solve problems. My motto, as a programmer, and my boss knows this well, is that "nothing is impossible." He always asked me if this or that was possible, but my answer would always be, "Nothing is impossible, but if you want to know if it's WORTH it (the time, that is), then let's talk about that."
It's all about time and money. Nothing is impossible. And if certain users don't like it, they don't have to use it. If Adobe is worried that it will actually really annoy current experienced users of PS? Keep it turned off by default and let people like me check the option to make it available. A perfect example is the "Auto-Select" checkbox on the move tool. It's off by default, but for people like me, I can go check that box and now I can sleep at night.
17. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pasteharry teasley May 7, 2009 1:12 PM (in response to sfjedi)
Layers are active, not selected. Why would, with nothing selected, Ctrl-C work on layers and not, say, brushes, when the brush palette is open? There's a difference between an active something and a selected something.
You're willing to make this change because you like the behavior. It strikes me as creating inconsistent UI, which is almost always a very bad idea.
18. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 7, 2009 1:35 PM (in response to harry teasley)
Let me ask you something. When you click on a layer in the layers panel, does the background color of that layer in the layers panel change? Yes. Why do you think that is? Because it's selected!
I think one of the reasons you are so confused about this is because Photoshop uses the word "selection" to define what really is a mask. And I'm not just saying this because Corel PHOTO-PAINT calls it a mask instead of a selection, but the word "selection" is so engrained in your mind that you find it hard to believe that anything but a mask would count as a selection in Photoshop.
Like I said, if the mouse focus is already in the layers panel, which it always will be if you just selected a layer, and no "mask" is defined, then it only makes sense that the layer itself be copied with CTRL+C. Your comment about copying a brush has nothing to do with CONTENT as has been previously stated. Layers, however, have EVERYTHING to do with content.

"Photoshop uses the word "selection" to define what really is a mask" - no its a selection. Masks hide, or reveal, and in Photoshop are interchangeable with selections. You do really need to get your head out of Corel Photo-Paint, if you intend to make the swap to Photoshop. In terms of internal logic, Photoshop wins every time, and thats why the concept of clipboarding layer structures is going down so badly. Like Harry says, its not consistent.
As I said, yours is certainly a reasonable suggestion, its just to be honest, not a particularly good one. Because it would create more inconsistencies and problems than it would solve, and not really deliver anything in return. That I think is our point

Really? Is that why Photoshop has a "Quick Mask Mode"?
It's a mask! It might ALSO be a selection, but it is most definitely a mask.
I really don't care what they call it. I just think it's skewing your perception of how a selection should be handled.
That said, you are entitled to your own opinion and if you don't think this request is a good one, so be it.
But to say it would create more inconsistencies and problems than it would solve is totally bogus! Because, as I said, they can make this feature off by default, just like the move tool's "Auto-Select" checkbox. So, for you, it wouldn't make a shred of difference, but for me and others like me it definitely would.

No, it's a selection. There's a special mode to permit it to behave like a mask, for the purposes of manipulating it with painting tools. But it's a selection. Masks are masks.
Layers remain active, even though there's a selection as well. That lets you know there's a difference between an active thing and a selected thing.
22. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 7, 2009 6:18 PM (in response to harry teasley)
I guess I don't understand the distinction because if I have a selection and paint on a layer, it only effects the selected area of that layer. To me, that's the whole purpose of "masking tape" and such.

Photoshop basics lesson 101: You obviously haven't even dicovered layer masks Jed? Thats what masking means in Photoshop - as I tried to say before, hiding or revealing.
In Photoshop you can have areas masked and selected at the same time. Masks (either raster or VECTOR masks), can embedded within each other. Selections (and masks of course) can be swapped with each other, and if necessary manipulated completely independant of content. Content can also be raster or vector, and is completely separate to masks.

I'm 100% aware and comfortable with layer masks. Corel has the same thing too.
My point is that masks don't only perform the one hiding function you mention. Masks are also intended to prevent other elements from being altered. And selections? That's exactly what they do is prevent other elements from being altered. Not all "masking" in the artistic sense actually hides content. There is such a thing as a transparent mask.

Yes shift click on your layer mask to disable it. Its still there, just invisible

Please, spare me the condescension. We disagree on the definition of the word "mask." So be it.
28. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 9, 2009 2:02 PM (in response to sfjedi)
One of my classmates was having a hard time understanding the importance of this request as well, which led me to create a scenario that would help better understand it. Here's the scenario:
Let's say you've been assigned to create an ad for something, anything, and that you must use a particular stock photo for this ad. You open this stock photo and start playing around with some ideas, but you have another idea. You don't want to throw away your first idea, but you have a new one, so you open the photo again and now you're throwing ideas between two documents.
The stock photo is pretty big so you're working with both document maximized within PS and you switch tabs when you want to see another.
Let's say you have more and more different idea paths and you now have like 7 documents open, all with the same stock photo. Then, on the 7th document you have this logo thing that you created and you think it would be really great on the other 6 documents as well. Thing is, the logo also has this text thing that works really well with it. So you group the logo and the text into it's own layer group and prepare to copy the contents of this layer group into the other 6 documents.
If my feature request were implemented, this would be extremely easy! You would just copy the layer group. Click on tab 1, paste, tab 2, paste, tab 3, paste, etc. It takes 5 seconds!
If anyone has a Photoshop solution that can be done quicker than 5 seconds, please speak up!
29. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and PasteReynolds (Mark) May 9, 2009 2:41 PM (in response to sfjedi)1 person found this helpful
Yep, again there's a photoshop solution that is quicker, and doesn't even require multiple keyboard shortcuts. You tile the documents, and SHIFT drag the layer set, from the correct source document into each. Tiling is easily achieved from the Application frame.
And there's an even better way - potentially CHANGEABLE content like this should ideally be set up as Smart Object. In this way its possible to modify the Smart Object, using a command called "Replace Content…". This Replace Content can be set up to use a separate external file, and is Actionable meaning that in the press of a single key you can update your content file. So a single change to any element of yoru file can then be executed on all your documents with the press of a single key. Its also possible using this method, to have muliple instances of it in your document.
30. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 9, 2009 2:55 PM (in response to Reynolds (Mark))
I'm not gonna' lie. That's pretty bad@ss, but I knew you were going to say to tile the documents. That was the only solution I could come up with myself too, but I'd still rather have this 2nd way of doing it. I never tile my documents because I think it looks messy and I like to just work with one document at a time, maximized, if at all possible.

Actually, I'm glad you brought that up because Photoshop stole the concept of layer masks from Corel PHOTO-PAINT. PP was at version 8 when PS was at version 5.
Some other things PP had before PS:
- PP had floating Objects before PS had layers (they are the same thing)
- PP had unlimited multiple levels of undo while PS only had 1 undo.
- PP had lenses before PS had styles (these were both based on methods to incorporate non-destructive alterations to objects/layers and to the image) .
- PP had clip masks before PS had layer masks (again, same thing)
- PP had a Paint on Mask Mode before PS had Quick Mask
Unfortunately, PP hasn't really kept up with the pace in recent years.
- PP had floating Objects before PS had layers (they are the same thing)

Hello, I know it's two weeks since last post. But the discussion was very fascinating to me, because like Jed I'm a user of Photopaint and Photoshop.
Jed is mostly right and Reynolds, Harry ect. would better understand if they ever had worked with Corel Photopaint. [Off topic: Let's compare Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw, the result would be a funny discussion too]
In Photopaint the pixels on a layer are automatically selected if you click on them with the move tool, there's no need of "marching ants" or Ctrl-Click. Using one of the Photopaint masking tools you will create a mask, with some selection-like qualities. Oh, I remember the days - I often struggled with these and other differences!
Unlike Jed I love the "Ctrl-D" for Deselect far better than the "Ctrl-R" in Photopaint, but I miss the Ctrl-D of Photopaint for "Duplicate" and hate the Ctrl-J of Photoshop, because I almost can't reach the J key with my forefinger. So you have to live with compromises. :-)
PS: If you come from Photoshop or Photopaint and be forced by someone to work with PhotoImpact (previously owned by Ulead, now by Corel) you instantly would go incurably crazy within one hour.
33. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastesfjedi May 30, 2009 8:46 AM (in response to miss_marple)
And I will never complain about Ctrl+D or Ctrl+J because you can remap them to any Ctrl+Letter combination you want! It's the things you can't remap, the things that are totally impossible, or the things that take too many steps that are a thorn in my side.
34. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pastemactrooper Aug 5, 2009 9:48 PM (in response to sfjedi)
I have the impression that, in permitting the copy/cut of layers the way you propose, it would create an interface paradox for Photoshop.
The paradox would be: if we allow that to happen, so should we also permit copying/cutting of channels, styles, presets, history states, swatches & etc?
Weird enough (come to think of it), it works with paths, though.... Well, maybe thats what's stopping them from applying this feature to the layers. Try this: open both palettes, paths and layers. Create an image with a layer and a path. Then select the layer in the palette. Then select a path in the palette. Copy (or Cut). There it goes: the feature you want, but in the wrong palette ;-) Easy does paths.... but then again, paths aren't as troublesome as pixels....
As I see things, basically (in PS and AI, dunno 'bout other apps), items that appear inside the palletes are off-limits for common OS operations like Copy/Cut/Paste. For such operations, you'd use the corresponding palette menu.
I guess it has something to do with keeping the whole UI uniform, without "rebel palettes behaving differently from others" (well, we already have one: paths! Maybe thay don't want another?) And also, it keeps things intuitive and simple. Think about it: If you have so many possible recipients for the contents on the clipboard, visual hinting for the place where you actually want to put it becomes totally troublesome (imagine someone with 3 monitors, 2 of them filled with open PS palletes:
"Allright, I want to paste this thingie I got in the clipboard.....
(eyes desperately scanning the monitors and neck pain mounting....)
...ah! gotcha, here it goes
Shucks! Dropped in the wrong place?!?!? Argh!
THAT would be a hassle. I don't want that. It's not always that I know what's in the clipboard (I remember AI had a feature like that, kind'a "Show Clipboard Contents" - (Hey, it's another request to make'em devs!)
On a different topic:
Some while ago, I was struggling to delete some 30+ masks I had in this PS doc of mine. Man, HOW I WISHED to be able to CMD-select all those channels and delete'em all in one whoop. At that time, I got really pissed and wrote a feature request (I guess it was for CS2) about multiple channel deletion in the channels palette. After some ranting I cooled down and started thinking straight, so I figured: if they don't put auxiliary channels on a separate palette, or don't make clear the separation between color channels and auxiliary channels, we're never going to be able to delete multiple channels, 'cos doing that just don't make sense (you can select multiple channels, but can't delete them. Something to do with color channels? Guess it would be weird, but don't know for certain as to why. Would some Photoshop-Guru enlighten us?
Reading carefully your posts, I understand that you don't like to shuffle windows. So here's a tip, in case the devs won't listen to you:
Create a new Action and assign a function key (i.e. F2) to it.
On the Actions Palette, select it and, on the Actions Palette Menu, assign a menu item to the action. Choose "Layer>Duplicate Layer..." Then you can select a layer or a group (works with both), hit F2 and then choose the destination of the duplication among all open documents. You can even create a new doc containing only the duplication's content.
It's not as you'd like, but quite close to it.

Hello All,
Related issue.
I can't copy a layer.
Any layer from one document.
I can select the layer, and drag it into another PS doc.
But I can't "Copy" it. The Copy option on the edit menu is grayed out.
What's up? How do I get it so that copy is no longer grayed out??
I'm ultimately trying to copy layers into Dreamweaver. But the hold up is being able to copy something from Photoshop, and right now that's seems to be blocked some how.

Hello Harry,
OK, I've read this whole post over (Twice), and I can't find the answer to how I'm supposed to be able to copy a layer from Photoshop. I can drag a layer into another Photoshop doc, but can't "Copy" it. (Edit>Copy, Control C, etc).
Purpose is to copy a layer into Dreamweaver. All the books say this should work. Only problem is that I can't copy a layer from a Photoshop Doc. I can "Select" it by clicking on the layer, (It highlights).
What is the solution to this?
Why can't a layer be copied?, or what need to happen to this PS doc to make it so layers can be copied??
Is there some other way that a single layer needs to be selected?
39. Re: Layers: Copy, Cut and Pasteharry teasley Mar 16, 2010 11:55 AM (in response to Bert Adams)
You need to read more carefully. You'll find several posts that outline the difference between an "active" object and a "selected" object. Layers can be active, but not selected. Their contents can be selected.
This really couldn't be clearer, if you read the thread.

NEA-NH exec board backs Hassan budget, opposes House Finance Committee proposal
April 01. 2013 12:38PM
CONCORD -- The executive board of the state's largest teachers' union has reversed its past opposition to expanded gambling and backed Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan's budget plan, while opposing the plan put forward by the Democratic-led House Finance Committee.
NEA-NH president Scott McGilvray said at a Monday news conference that while Hassan's budget fully funds an education adequacy formula for K-12 students, the House budget does not, and for that reason the board opposes that plan.
The 300-member delegate assembly of the 16,000-member union will have an opportunity to discuss and vote on the issue during its annual meeting Friday at the Frank Jones Center in Portsmouth, said McGilvray. According to the NEA-NH web site, there are 23 executive board members.
"The choice is not between the governor's budget and a better plan," said McGilvray. "The choice is between Gov. Hassan's budget and one that slashed funding to our university system and shifts costs to already overburdened property taxpayers by not funding aid for catastrophic special education costs and school transportation."
For that reason, he said, the executive board opposes the House Finance Committee-proposed budget, which reportedly cuts $52 million from the governor's $2.8 billion two-year plan, including $12 million from the governor's proposal for the state university system.
The full House is scheduled to vote on the finance committee budget on Wednesday. Republican leaders Monday lined up against the proposed House Finance Committee, budget, saying it contains regressive tax hikes and downshifts costs to county taxpayers.
Hassan included $80 million in casino licensing fees in her proposed budget, even though the Legislature has not yet passed expanded gambling.
A casino bill passed the Senate last month but has not yet been taken up by the House, where an uphill battle is expected.
McGilvray said that more than a decade ago, the NEA-NH board opposed expanded gambling as a "single revenue source" for public education in a formal resolution.
"But since that time, the world is a lot different and this (gambling plan) is very specific, going to roads and bridges, higher education, redevelopment of our North Country," said McGilvray.
McGilvray said "it was morally wrong what the past Legislature did to the citizens of New Hampshire -- not paying for the cost of catastrophic education, not taking care of school transportation, slashing spending to public safety. If we're going to debate a moral issue, we ought to take a look at the most vulnerable citizen and how they have been effected over the past two years due to the budget.
He also said the GOP budget currently in effect "is morally wrong to our most needy citizens. We can't retain students to stay at our university system. The cost is prohibitive. We're sending kids out of state to go to college. I think that's morally wrong."
McGilvray noted that gambling, in the form of the lottery, is among several sources currently funding education in the state. And he noted that Bingo and charity gaming thrive in New Hampshire.
"Given how education has come to rely on gaming in New Hampshire, and how the methods of gaming have changed in the state," McGilvray said, "it is difficult for an education association to claim that one form of gaming is morally superior to another."

LONDON (AP) — Jackie Lomax, a singer-songwriter who worked with The Beatles and enjoyed a long solo career, has died at age 69.
Lomax died Sunday in the Wirral, near Liverpool in northwest England, following a brief illness, according to his official website.
Website manager Alistair Hepburn said Wednesday that Lomax's family told him of the death. The family also released a statement to The Beatles Shop in Liverpool, manager Stephen Bailey said.
Lomax was signed to the Beatles' Apple label in the 1960s. He had known the band members since their early days at Liverpool's Cavern Club, when he was a member of The Undertakers, one of the most popular bands on the thriving Liverpool music scene.
"He was a great rocker, a solid out-and-out rock and roller," said Tony Bramwell, the former publicist for the Beatles' Apple Records. "They were one of the great groups in Liverpool in the early '60s. They did a great version of 'Mashed Potatoes.'"
Bramwell said John Lennon persuaded Lomax to sign with Apple Records and that George Harrison and the other Beatles backed him on his first release for the label, the 1968 single "Sour Milk Sea."
"Even with all that, it just got lost in that mass of sales," said Bramwell, pointing out that the Lomax single was released by Apple along with the Beatles' "Hey Jude" and Mary Hopkin's smash hit "Those Were the Days."
He said the Lomax tune received lots of radio play but did not become a breakthrough hit.
After leaving Apple, Lomax moved to Los Angeles, where he made a number of excellent records, including a strong collaboration with Harrison, Bramwell said.
"He'd been ill for some time, and lost so much weight because of cancer," Bramwell said.
Lomax lived for many years in Ojai, California, but recently had returned to England. His website says he recently finished an album that will be released within months.
Hepburn said a funeral will be followed by a remembrance ceremony — "more like a rock-and-roll gig" — in Liverpool at some later date.
He said Lomax is survived by his first wife, Dionne Lomax, their daughters Vicki, Janine, and Louise, and five grandchildren.
Associated Press writer Raphael Satter contributed to this report.

(BPT) -- Finding the perfect gift for a loved one can be difficult at any time of year, but no time places more stress on finding a great gift than Christmas. It goes beyond finding the "perfect" gift for special days and holidays to giving something that reflects your affection or appreciation for the gifts you've received over time from that individual.
Maybe you're looking for a gift for that uncle who never missed an important event in your life. The one who cheered you along as you got married, had babies, suffered losses. In his 60s now, he buys what he needs and appreciates everything.
Maybe your sister is the best sister in the world. She's always there when you need a hug or a nudge. She's crazy busy with her family and would just like one evening where someone else would take care of the dinner plans.
Or you have a grandma who says exactly what she thinks at all times -- for better and worse. Yet everyone loves and respects the wisdom she shares at every family gathering. Her needs are few but she loves it when you pop in on the weekend for a meal and a chat.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - A day after University of South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier said some of the team's key players may not play against North Carolina, some of those previously sidelined players returned to practice and the Head Ball Coach clarified his position.
The team worked out for a little over two hours Tuesday morning at the Bluff Road practice fields. Back on the field were Jadeveon Clowney, who has been nursing an injured shoulder, and Damiere Byrd and Kyle Fleetwood, who were both sidelined with hamstring issues. Bruce Ellington watched from the sidelines.
After Monday night's practice, an unhappy Spurrier touched upon the absence of several Gamecocks. "So we got a bunch of hurt guys that act like they're really hurt," said Spurrier. "Right now, they may not play."
The arrival of Clowney, Byrd and Fleetwood on the practice field Tuesday morning prompted a member of the media to ask Spurrier about his ailing players.
"Jadeveon is doing fine. Bruce is doing fine. Damiere is doing fine. We had a communication problem," said Spurrier. "They didn't know they were supposed to be out here watching practice. Now they know they're going to be out here watching practices. We had a communication problem and now we're ready to go."
"They're out here doing something," said Spurrier. "So they weren't in the locker room jiving around playing on their cell phones like they were last night. And that's my fault. They said 'Coach nobody told us we had to be out there.' So I'm the dummy, not them."
Clowney did not participate in Saturday's scrimmage and Monday's practice session. The coaching staff has said the All-American junior defensive end's shoulder injury is not serious.
Looking ahead to the season, Spurrier said he hopes several of his players will develop into all-conference players.
"We have next to the bottom of the SEC in all-conference players," said Spurrier. "We've got four guys – one first-teamer and three second-team All-SEC guys. Only Kentucky has fewer than us. So our expectations, hopefully with our players, need to be known that we are not a super-duper team by any means."
"We've got one superstar and that's it," continued Spurrier. "Everybody knows who he is. But one superstar doesn't win many championships as we all know. Hopefully a bunch of guys can come around. I think our guys have got the message that we've got a long way to go."
The Gamecocks are scheduled to be back on the practice field on Wednesday morning at 8:15 a.m.
The practice is closed to the public.
USC opens up the 2013 college football season on Aug. 29 against North Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Back in 2005, I went to a Learning-themed conference (as I'm a training & development professional) held at a convention center on the Walt Disney World property. I was excited to begin with, as I'm quite the Disney aficionado. Kevin flew down with me and we spent an extended weekend after the conference exploring the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. We loved it! At the time, the F&W offered a bunch of free seminars with park admission, which is how we discovered super-cool Master Sommelier /Master of Wine Doug Frost and were introduced to Greek wine.
Since then, we've been back in 2006 and 2009, and we just made our reservations for 2010. We really do enjoy it and for those of you who are kid-free like us, well, let's just say that Epcot is filled with more adults than kids during F&W Fest weekends. The F&W Fest has changed a bit since 2005, but a lot of the great things have stayed the same.
Every country in the World Pavilion has its own special booth setup where you can get tapas size bites from that region, as well as a beer or wine. For instance, France usually has some sort of eclair, a quiche, and champagne. (This is aside from the specific Champagne booth that is set up.) In addition to the regular countries, booths are added for new countries so that you can have food from Australia, Spain, Belgium, India, and more. It tends to grow and change every year. Australia also has a special wine walk in which you can participate for a small fee. America usually offers an included Samuel Adams beer tasting that is a lot of fun.
There's also a Festival headquarters, where you can partake in those seminars I mentioned. These now cost ~$8 per person. Last year we took a class from a rum maker from Bacardi and listened to a winemaker from a small winery speak. I haven't yet looked at this year's list of seminars, but it is available for download. You can also sign up for special dinners, parties and tastings. These, of course, have a much higher fee and generally require registration several months in advance. In fact, on July 20, they announced all of the special events and opened the registration lines. Last year we enjoyed a Tequila tasting in the new Tequila bar in Mexico. This year we're participating in a Grand Marnier Tasting and Cocktail event in France. Cost? $45 per person.
In 2006 we participated in two expensive but amazing events. We took a day-long class with Doug Frost that introduced us to Spanish wine. It was amazing, and I learned a lot – in fact, since that class I've had a real passion for Spanish wines. (Thank you Doug!) We also went to the Party of the Senses. At the time, I think it cost $110/pp (and is now up to $135/pp). It was worth it. I had mixed emotions about it at the time. Due to a combination of my nut allergy and my pickiness, there wasn't all that much I would eat. There was an amazing amount of excellent wine though. The Party of the Senses is a giant room, decorated so beautifully it's almost over-stimulating, filled with various chefs, sous chefs, and their food. All of the food is paired with wine as well, so you get to try things you wouldn't find either out in the park or here at home. Adding to all of this is Cirque du Soleil, who perform periodically in the great room, but also offer face painting and juggling off to the side. I haven't made up my mind on the Party of the Senses this year. It's a big expense for two people, but it's also incredibly memorable.
Last year we discovered the best way to control your spending during the F&W festival. You can buy the equivalent of Gift Cards, branded with the F&W Festival, at the F&W Fest headquarters. Just grab one of those and fill it up with cash at the beginning of each day. It's easier than dealing with cash as you hit each food booth and does give you a bit of a budget. Just be careful. They give you a wristband to which you can attach the card. Last year, my card fell off the band. I'm going to probably use a lanyard of some sort this year.
Last year, Friday was a great day at Epcot, without a lot of people until evening. Saturday was packed and we flew out Sunday. As far as we can tell, locals actually come to Epcot during the F&W Festival, as there is some sort of special F&W Fest pass you can get if you live in the area. And why not? What a great chance to try a lot of different food, wine, and beer? For us, staying on park property is the best bet. We can drink and eat as much as we want and rely 100% on Disney's excellent transportation system to get us from the park to our hotel – no driving necessary.
The Epcot wine and food festival runs daily from Oct 1 – Nov 14. You can view information from our last few years of Disney adventures in the Disney category or just visit the F&W Fest official site. I also highly recommend the disney food blog, which is one of the few blogs I actually read on a daily basis.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia anti-terror police shot and killed five suspected Islamist militants in eastern Indonesia, the latest assault against a network of extremists behind deadly attacks on officers, authorities said Saturday.
The men were killed in raids on Friday night and Saturday morning on the remote island of Sumbawa, police spokesman Lt. Col. Agus Rianto and state news agency Antara reported. They followed the killings of two suspected militants earlier Friday on Sulawesi island, also in the east of the country.
Antara reported that the Sumbawa operations were targeting militants who had fled the Makassar. Police said those victims were behind the recent killings of two police officers in Poso district, a long established hub for Islamist militants and the scene of a vicious war between Muslims and Christians in 2001 and 2002.
Rianto said the men "were endangering the lives of officers" when they were shot but gave no more details.
Indonesia, a mostly Muslim country in Southeast Asia, has struggled against Islamist militants since its independence.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, some came under the influence of al-Qaida after waging jihad in Afghanistan and carried out four major bombings against foreign targets between 2002 and 2009. A sustained police crackdown, assisted by Western countries, has reduced the threat significantly.
However, small groups of local terrorists have carried out several attacks on police around the country over the last two years, and jihadi propaganda and legal support groups exist throughout the country. While hundreds of terrorists have been convicted, police have also killed at least 70 suspects since 2002, leading to anger among some in the Muslim community, who accuse police of not doing enough to arrest suspects.
Suspected militants have killed at least 10 police officers in incidents around the country this year.
Poso remains a vital staging ground for militants, with police saying they broke up a camp in December there. Its proximity to the southern Philippines, which is also home to Islamist extremists with known links to Indonesian ones, makes it especially significant.

The 2018 Dodge Challenger is offered in 6 main trim levels: SXT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack, SRT 392, SRT Hellcat, Demon and GT. Most trims have several sub-trims that represent different luxury and performance upgrades. Like the pony cars of old, the Challenger offers something for everyone, with offerings ranging from sporty and economical to full-blown muscle car and, in the case of the Hellcat, something completely insane.
SXT and SXT Plus models come with a 305-horsepower 3.6L V6 engine, which is capable of an EPA-estimated 30 mpg on the highway. The Challenger R/T draws its power from a 5.7L Hemi V8, which makes 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The new R/T Scat Pack features a 6.4L Hemi V8 with 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet, while still returning up to 25 mpg on the highway. The SRT 392 utilizes that same engine, while the Challenger SRT Hellcat has a new 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8. The monstrous engine makes 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque -- the most powerful muscle car engine ever produced until this year's Demon toppled it. All Challengers feature a standard 8-speed "TorqueFlite" automatic transmission, though a TREMEC 6-speed manual is available in all the V8 cars other than the Demon.
Challenger SXT models have the same retro muscle-car silhouette as the others, but they're a little bit more sensible, with a low base price and reasonable fuel economy on the highway, while still providing satisfying acceleration for most everyday driving. The V8 models, however, have a different attitude, with a rumbling exhaust sound, tremendous torque just off idle, and a true muscle-car feel. Thanks to Dodge's multi-displacement system, which shuts down some of the cylinders during coasting or cruising to save fuel, all Hemi engines have the power to lay rubber but can also behave themselves when cruising.
Seating rests rather low in the Challenger, and the car's tall shoulders lend a protective feeling. The redesigned front seats have plenty of space for the largest folks, and although technically the Challenger is a 5-person coupe, its back seat can be quite tight, and entry and exit from the back seats can be a challenge. The trunk, however, is huge and easily accessed; Dodge says it's as big as that of the Charger sedan.
The high-performance SRT models at the top of the Challenger range are truly where the muscle-car cues all come together. They include HID headlamps, power heated mirrors, a remote start system, heated leather seats, a media center with hard-drive system and Boston Acoustics sound. Exterior cues include hood stripes, a rear spoiler, a functional hood scoop, a satin chrome grille and special SRT 20-inch alloy wheels. The appearance extras make the most of the blunt, aggressive shape and low, wide stance.
Standard features across the Challenger model line include electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, side airbags and side-curtain airbags. The base Challenger SXT isn't luxurious but it includes nearly all the features that are expected at its price level, including keyless entry, cruise control, air conditioning, power foldaway mirrors and a CD/MP3 sound system with auxiliary input. In addition to the V8, suspension, steering, and wheel upgrades, the R/T adds fog lamps, satellite radio, Bluetooth and a spoiler, while the R/T Scat Pack also includes premium cloth sport seats, Brembo 6-piston brakes and a Bilstein high-performance suspension.
The T/A and T/A 392 are sub-trims, which modify the R/T and Scat Pack, respectively. They include many upgrades from the Shaker variants, along with styling elements from the Hellcat, including the unique air intake that masquerades as a headlight.

The point: An atheist's finite life is as absolute to him as eternal life is to one who believes in his continuing existence after death and as-such, fear of wasted life by imprisonment or shortening of that life by execution negates the anti-atheist argument that atheists are inherently more untrustworthy than theists because they have no fear of eternal damnation.
The rant that goes with it:
In The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe episode #333, the rogues discuss how…
New research finds that anti-atheist sentiment among believers is based largely on distrust, with atheists being considered among the most UNTRUSTWORTHY, comparable to rapists (and politicians and used-car salesmen and lawyers and…).
Post-poll questioning and further research led the pollsters to conclude that the reason for this singling-out of atheists is because the majority of people believe that if one does NOT believe in…
(a) an afterlife and
(b) a supreme being who will judge their actions and
(c) that the superbeing will determine the quality of that afterlife (he knows when you've been bad or good so be good, for goodness sake!)
…then those people will do whatever pleases them – at the expense of others and with perceived impunity. As such, most people believe that atheists are pre-conditioned to lying, cheating, stealing and killing in pursuit of those self-interests. Although it may be proven true that people feel this way about atheists, those judgemental opinions are extremely misguided. In fact, I will demonstrate how atheists might be considered more trustworthy than their theist counterparts, starting with a couple of thought-provoking quotes:
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. - Steven Weinberg
Try to think of a good act performed by a person in the name of FSM or religion that would not have been performed by a non-believer. Now, try to think of an evil act carried out by a person (or group) solely in the name of FSM or religion that would not have been carried out by a non-believer. – Christopher Hitchens (RIP)
If you are not convinced by these ideas (and you don't have the time to read Sam Harris's book, "The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values") I will illuminate the issue by looking at it from both perspectives:
Theists (belief in and/or call to a, b & c above)
- Our prisons are filled with theists who have done unspeakable crimes in spite of their fear of a final judgement. The very material police and courts appear to have stepped in where fear of supernatural judgement has failed.
- Some of the most horrific acts in history were committed by theists in the name of their belief that the supreme being they worship was agreeable to what they had done. The fundamentalist 9/11 hijackers is a good recent example: They LIED about their intentions when they got on the planes, SMUGGLED weapons on board, MISLEAD the rest of the passengers into thinking the flight would be safe, COVETED the American's airplanes, MURDERED over 3,000 people and DESTROYED $billions worth of other people's property, all BECAUSE (not in spite of) of their theist beliefs – many of which are not supported by other readings of the same "infallible" texts. These people committed their immoral crimes at top speed in anticipation of their eternal judgement. And before you blame the Holocaust on an "atheist" Nazi party, remember that Hitler was a devout catholic having stated that he was acting in the interest of his church (a position that was encouraged by the support of the Pope), as was 25% of the SS and the only member of the SS to ever be excommunicated was over an issue of divorce. I daresay that no significant destructive event was ever carried out in the name of atheism. I daresay that any crime against humanity that has even been committed was done so with theism being at least an excuse for it…whether it be delusional or as a PR device.
- The vast majority of people (with maybe the exception of the sociopathic minority) believe they are good and that they do the right thing. Nobody considers themselves to be the villain. Even when people do things that go against the moral codes of the community, they tend to rationalize that their case is somehow special. This ability to delude oneself in to believing what they are about to do (or more often…what they have done) is called "resolution of Cognitive Dissonance" and is a handy trick that we have evolved to make internal peace with the terrible things that we might do to others. If your group is threatened by another group (or even at the individual level) and you cannot think of a way to justify doing away with them without having "bloodguilt", then belief that your favorite supreme being is okay with it, if not insists upon it, provides the means to justify the terrible action as "to kill" and not "to murder". I elaborate on this in my post "The Monty Hall Problem 1/3".
Atheists (non-belief in a, b and/or c above)
First, a note on the origins of fairness, co-operation, altruism and all that other good stuff that holds civilization together (imagine a plane flying over the Atlantic and instead of people in the seats, they are filled with chimpanzees…you get the idea). We are a social species. Not because of such supposedly divine influences as the Ten Commandments, but rather the other way around. People had been co-operating for millennia before Moses came down from Mt Sinai and it is therefore far more likely that the Ten Commandments are no more than one society's documenting the fundamental values they held at the time: values that evolved with the species as such co-operation was advantageous in context with the environment and fellow creatures. Studies have demonstrated that even babies, who could not have possibly understood a word of any doctrinal texts, are born with many of these core values (ie – appreciation of fairness) and as such they are a product of nature more than nurture. I daresay that if anything, adults often coax their children away from those inherent values.
Consider this thought-experiment:
First, I propose that most of the established laws in western society generally fall in line with a shared value system that is relatively comparable to the values of most world religions. For example, stealing, cheating and murdering (even with the exceptions granted from self-defence et al) are each frowned upon by these religions, the various states and our inherent appreciation for right and wrong. Also, all of these crimes are punishable by threat of damnation, imprisonment/execution/fines and the court of public opinion.
Regardless of your actual beliefs, imagine that you have become convinced (as atheists are) that…
- the life you are living is the ONLY one you are EVER going to have; that when you die, that's it, it's all over – and that the ~80 years that you will be lucky to have is all the existence that you are ever going to experience.
- In the planning of (or post-rationalizing) a crime, you are aware that you cannot justify the act by arguing that you are somehow privileged by carrying the favour of a supernatural being who will ultimately condone it even though the "ignorant" people in your community (not to mention the victim) who will despise you for your actions.
With these concepts established, we consider this fact: Chances are very high that if you were to commit a serious crime such as murder, you will likely be caught and punished by either the courts or the friends/family of the victim…and these punishments are often lifetime imprisonment of even death. No such crime occurs without total material impunity, as even those who don't get caught spend the rest of their natural lives evading capture or at least watching their backs. As we live in a civilization where the punishment often matches the crime, it is fair to say that when one commits any crime, it is at the risk of losing an equal part of one's natural life. Stealing a car could cost you the years of seeing your child grow up. Paying a speeding ticket could cost your family a week's worth of food. Killing someone could cost you everything you have…and everything you are ever going to have. Even if you get "life" for murder, the prisons are such that the quality of that life will likely be far more miserable than the life one needs to live in order to stay out of them.
An atheist's' finite natural life is as absolute to him as eternal life is to one who believes in his continuing existence after death and as-such, fear of wasting that one short & precious life by way of imprisonment, execution, fear of retribution, nagged with guilt and/or living like a fugitive (all of which are clearly defined in our very real laws and social codes) negates the anti-atheist argument that atheists are inherently more untrustworthy than theists because they have no fear of eternal damnation that has no universal definition. Rather, setting aside the fear of losing everything, the natural drive to adhere to biologically-inherent moral values without compromising those values with what are often immoral lessons from out-dated texts written by flawed individuals is enough to make atheists far more trustworthy than their theist counterparts.
Simply put, if you believe that the only thing preventing you from doing harm to others for self-gain is the fear of higher judgement (and likewise, you think I will do these things because I do not have that fear), then you are indeed a truly horrible person.

NYCC | Edmondson, Laming team for Splinter Cell comic
Nathan Edmondson has made a name for himself in recent years for his "spy-fi" books like Who is Jake Ellis?, The Activity and his brief run on DC's Grifter. Now he's playing with toys created by the ultimate spy guy, author Tom Clancy.
Ubisoft Entertainment SA announced this week that Edmondson and artist Marc Laming (Exile on the Planet of the Apes, American Century) will bring Clancy's Splinter Cell video game franchise to the printed page.
The graphic novel, titled Splinter Cell: Echoes, will feature the game's protagonist Sam Fisher, and bridge the gap between Splinter Cell: Blacklist and its predecessor, Splinter Cell: Conviction.
"Nathan Edmondson and Marc Laming are respected experts in their fields and we are so incredibly fortunate to have them on board for the Splinter Cell graphic novel," said Patrick Redding, game director, Ubisoft Toronto, in a statement. "Nathan's work in The Activity put him on our radar with its gripping balance between real-world geopolitics and high-tech spy fantasy themes we also explore in Splinter Cell. We're confident that all readers — whether they've played every game in the series or are new to the franchise — are going to really engage with this story and the level of fine detail Nathan and Marc inject into their book."
The book comes out next year. Check out the launch trailer after the jump.

Anyone not living in a place where they literally dread the winter, will probably not relate to this post, although it's not just about the weather. Or maybe it is.
Cold as a razor blade,
The weather is turning here. The degrees are plummeting.
This Thanksgiving long weekend, though, is supposed to be nice, and we're planning a trip up north to see the leaves turning, the autumn, fall colours. That's about the only nice thing that is happening now.
Tight as a tourniquet,
I've been working hard lately and I've been really tired too. This could be a lingering effect from the war, but it could also just be normal. I do feel as if I have less time though.
Hubby and I have been doing what most people in this weather do around this time of year, prepare the house for winter - isolation, I mean, insulation, furnace, windows, evestroughs etc... everything we need to do before turning in for winter hibernation. I dread the winter.
Dry as a funeral drum.
The first thing I notice, this time of year, is that my hair turns flat. The jump and curliness are gone. This weather sucks me dry. I hope the dryness remains on the surface; I hope it doesn't reach my brain. I hope I don't find myself in a month planted in front of the TV until summer returns.
So you better believe it. I sure know it.
One of my turns coming on
I don't know what kind it would be. I hope it's the creative kind, not the depressive kind. I hope it's an active kind, not a "blah" kind. Maybe NaNo will turn me around from whatever winter mood I know I'll be in, help me through the first month of winter and make it all more bearable. I hope.
[[I also hope I don't get sued by Pink Floyd for this... More importantly, actually, I hope I didn't offend any Pink Floyd fans, I can understand if you're mad, I might have been too if I was reading, not writing this.]]
