I have a much faster (and newer) system, with twice the amount of RAM. I'll test tonight and see if I notice any slow-downs, but, like with all software updates, it may well be that LR 4 now demands more of a system, and your PC may just be on the borderline of acceptable resources for optimum performance?

The release version is as slow as the beta version. I am testing both on my Mac Pro 3GHz 8 Core, 16G Ram, hard disk is Raid0 x 3.
The response is unaccpetable.

Its possible that it has to build new previews and Camera Raw cache.
4. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowBCormier Mar 6, 2012 11:07 AM (in response to BCormier)
It seems like I mostly have lag when switching to full screen or going into the develope module. It also seems though that this is only for the first few mins I have it open. If I go to the develope module it will be slow the first time and fast the rest of the time. Hopefully they will fix this. The new develop and video features are too good to go back to Lightroom 3.

I am on a Mac - LR3 was very fast - LR4 is unuseable SLOW :-(
6. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowj. scriba Mar 6, 2012 12:51 PM (in response to BCormier)
Compared to LR3 I do feel it's a lot less responsive.
Moving sliders like clarity produces so much lack that it's kind of impossible to get a feel for subtle changes.
I'm on OS 10.7.3 on a 8-core 3GHz Mac Pro with 24GB RAM, so I don't think performance is due to a lack of system resources.
I like LR3 for the immediate response of controls. That feeling is gone with LR4.
The development algorithm is clearly different from LR3. It brings out a lot more levels in deep shadows.
It's hard for me to say if that's a good thing, yet, but the fact that everything is so sluggish makes it hard to have fun testing the impact.
When I look at the CPU load on the activity meter, something as simple as changing the black level in LR4 produces a massive spike of activity on all cores. A similar manipulation in LR3 is hardly noticable. No wonder the sliders don't really follow small changes.
7. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowfrankc1978 Mar 6, 2012 4:54 PM (in response to j. scriba)
Hi Folks!
I allready wrote in the beta time in the therad about that lr4 beta was sluggish. I wrote this:
I Installed LR4 Beta today on 3 Machines. I worked on 5DMKII raw files. dng and cr2 files.
Here are the hardware settings:
1: I7 930 overclocked to 3.8ghz , 128gb ssd as boot disk, 3 raid 0 disks (6 x 1.5TB) for datas and as scratch disk for cash and so one, 12gb ram, nvidia gtx570, win7 x64 ultimate
2: same as nr one, just a quadro 4000 as grapics card.
3: mac pro with 2 intel xeon 6 core prozessors, 12gb ram and ati hd 5870, osx 10.7.2 lion
Conclusion. When working in Process 2010, everything works realtime, fluid, perfekt. switching to process 2012 it is simply AWFUL. moving a slider and 1/2 - to 1 second untill i can see the results in the pictures. it gets realy bad, when i turn on the sharpness and the lens correction. it is simply not possible to work on this piece of software. completely useless at this stage.
These are pretty high end machines with a lot of power. i know lr4 is BETA, but the performance must grow about 800%, or lr4 will be useless for a smooth workflow.
I just red, that a person called COW answered in this thread that lr4 is fine now and fast! i tried to reply in that thread, but now that thread is set to READ only for me, so i have to write here.
i installed the software on all these 3 machines today. i imported the catalogue and ...bam. sluggish like HELL. unbelievable. 7D files and 550D files are a little bit faster but hell it is still sloooowwww.
i did the trick like lee told me in the other thread and i tried to import fresh and clean cr2 files driectly to the 2012 process. like in the beta it became a liiitttlleee bit more fluid. but just a little bit. so i decided to clean my complete preview database and my cache and let it completele rebuilt. i did that on my mac pro dualprozessor machine which runs on 10.7.3 lion. lr4 is installed on a samsung 500mb/sec ssd and the pure cache disk is another ssd wird 128gb. just for cache and preview database and catalogue. i think this is quite as fast as it can be.
so i completely renewed everything and.....again. a little bit faster but agins much to slow.
when you have the lens correction turned off and sharpness turned off, it is likely useable. when you turn on a second monitor it beginns to get slower. when you add lens correction and detail/sharpness........bam. slow as hell. i recognized the cpu usage and saw that the usage was unter 8% on all 12 cores. no cpu usage and unbelievable slow??? working in lr3 is completely flawless. not one stuttering or anything. i am completely not satisfied with this piece of software - sorry!
i heard a trick from a friend of mine who told me, that not the cpu power is important. lr4 uses the ram and the faster the ram is, the faster is lr4. so we built in a new ram from 12gb up to 24gb. the old ram had 1330mhz and the new one had 1800mhz. the speed raised up but it is STILL not completele fluid. when i did some adjustments to a picture, the sliders become unbelievable slow, as more and more you move them. on all my machines.
adobe, i really like lr and i grew up with this product. i allready even bought the upgrade. but no...this is not a piece oft software that can be used for a fluid und fast workflow. it can be used for single pictures to create really good results....yes, but not for a fast and fluid workflow what lightroom once stood for.
Sorry to say that but you have not completed the mission. it was a failure. having lr4 and a user who prefers lr3.6 should not be the goal!
Resolve these problems please as fast as you can guys!
King regards Frank!

I just upgraded and found the same. I am running a Dell i7 w/ 12 gigs ram, NVidia 2 gig card with llatest driver.
The develop module is where I noticd it. with the 2010 process, seemed fine, but when the conversion was made, moving some of the sliders took approx a second for the slider to move and image to update. Hope Adobe figures it out. Will be using LR3 on any big jobs for now.
9. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowBCormier Mar 6, 2012 8:40 PM (in response to BCormier)
So it seems that the slowness could possibly be because of the new process version. I updated my whole catalogue to the new version so I am wondering if that's causing the lag. I will have to try importing some fresh raw files and see how they do. Maybe it's because of the upscale from 2010 to 2012?
10. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowhinzo Mar 6, 2012 8:54 PM (in response to BCormier)
Upgraded today and clearly the 2012 process is so slow and sluggish compared with 2010.
My machine is Quad i7 12GB ram 64-bit,
11. Re: Lightroom 4 is sloweswrite Mar 6, 2012 9:42 PM (in response to hinzo)
Hmm. Quad i7 here with 16GB of RAM, operating on Nikon D7000 16MP raw files. I can't see a speed difference between 2010 and 2012. In develop module, exposure, shadow, highlight sliders move at the same speed. Which sliders were you folks trying.
12. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowjeret44 Mar 6, 2012 9:44 PM (in response to BCormier)
I upgraded to LR 4 a couple of days ago.
Could it be slow because the program is using more virtual memory than real memory. I went to the help menu and clicked on system info. Here is what I found.
Lightroom version: 4.0 [814577]
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium Edition
Version: 6.1 [7601]
Application architecture: x64
System architecture: x64
Physical processor count: 12
Processor speed: 3.1 GHz
Built-in memory: 12279.0 MB
Real memory available to Lightroom: 12279.0 MB
Real memory used by Lightroom: 1287.8 MB (10.4%)
Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 1906.2 MB
Memory cache size: 226.4 MB
System DPI setting: 96 DPI
Desktop composition enabled: Yes
Displays: 1) 1920x1080
From what I understand, virtual memory (using the hard drive as memory) is really slow. I couldn't find anything in the preferences menu in LR 4 having to do with memory usage.
I am not a teckie, so I may be off base with this.
13. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowFirillu Mar 6, 2012 10:10 PM (in response to BCormier)
I have a problem with importing and using the LR3 caralogue so I started a new cataloge to test with a few images. (47 photos only)
I expeience the same slugishness on a MacBook Pro 2011, 8Gb RAM, Lr4 unuseable for my day to day work compared to Lr3. What a let down - have to switch back to Lr3, I'm glad I haven't paid for it yet.
14. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowhamish niven Mar 6, 2012 10:51 PM (in response to BCormier)
Delete your prieviews.lrdata file and let lightroom re make prieviews as it goes.
This was a suggestion when LR2 PV2003 was updated to LR3 PV2010, and the noises have indicated that this should help.
No harm in also deleting your cache file as well.
Other noises indicate that there are speed issues with OSX and fewer with Windows, but the above comments from the few who have posted seem to err more on windows issues.
I'm still on the beta as downloading LR4.0 is expensive when having to pay for data in hotels.....
15. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowAndyYau Mar 6, 2012 11:42 PM (in response to hamish niven)
Cache files and previews file were both deleted. But the speed is still exactly the same on my Mac Pro 3G, 8-cores.
16. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowhamish niven Mar 6, 2012 11:50 PM (in response to AndyYau)
keep the positive pressure on to Adobe and hopefully LR4.01 comes out and it flies like an eagle
17. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowgetho Mar 7, 2012 12:02 AM (in response to hamish niven)
Lightroom 3 never really sped up for me from 3.0 ro 3.6: I've got a now aging i920 with 12gb ram. Lightroom was always reasonably painful to use. (And to Rob Cole - who said that 1/2 sec per clone stamp was fine - I think a practical definition of slow is that if you end up being quicker than the computer. Waiting? then its slow. I find in photoshop there are very very few things I need to wait for).
I kept asking exactly what hardware adobe were using for their development. Dual Xeons? SIngle Xeons? WOrkstations? How much ram? It would be good to know because it would give the rest of us a basis for comparrison.
18. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowCR Henderson Mar 7, 2012 12:09 AM (in response to hamish niven)
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm on the same planet...LR4 in develop is very snappy here, virtually as fast as LR3. In fact, I have had exactly zero of the very few problems I experienced in the LR4 beta. For me, so far at least (he says crossing his fingers) LR4 has been a very well executed update. I still have a few more plug-ins to check but all of my Nik and Jeff Friedl plug-ins work without issue.
27" iMac i7; 2.93GHz QuadCore CPU; 16GB DRAM; ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB RAM
All of my test images have been raw files from my 7D converted to dng as I imported them.
19. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowFirillu Mar 7, 2012 12:47 AM (in response to CR Henderson)
good on you if you're not having any speed issues. maybe you are right, we're on a differernt planet.
20. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowStefanKlein Mar 7, 2012 1:08 AM (in response to Firillu)
Slider responsivness is very sluggish in LR4. For me that was a problem since LR1. Also, if you have made many local adjustments and are "zoomed in", even panning is very slow and you can see tling in screen redraw. LR could be so much better, if it was as fast (on screen) as Capture One with OpenCL enabled.
21. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowshamus1585 Mar 7, 2012 4:03 AM (in response to StefanKlein)
Too bad they didn't include an option to use either process, I.e. switch from 2012 to 2010...... Definitely seems to be the 2012 and not all sliders. Using the histogram is more responsive than the sliders. ??? I like the final output BUT after a shoot with a 1DMkIV, 1DMkIII, and 5dMkII. (soon 5dMkIII) of 2,000 - 3,000 RAW images....way too slow. Adobe HELP!!!!!
22. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowj. scriba Mar 7, 2012 4:23 AM (in response to shamus1585)
Yes, you can switch the different processes.
That option is in the "camera calibration" panel.
But why upgrade if you use the old process?

Yes, you can switch the different processes.
That option is in the "camera calibration" panel.
I just double-checked, comparing LR3 and LR4 using the old process.
The old process eases the CPU-load somewhat, but still the interface is much less responsive.
I tried moving the clarity-slider on the same image.
On LR3 the numerical display follows dragging of the slider more or less instantaneously. When changing the numerical value with the cursor up/down button the number changes in increments of 1.
On LR4 (old process) the display jumps about 10-15 units when moving the slider. When using the cursor buttons, the number jumps up or down in increments of 5 or 6.
To me this is pretty much unusable.
MacPro 8core 3GHz, OS 10.7.3. manipulating NEF-files from Nikon D3 (12MP)

24. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowshamus1585 Mar 7, 2012 5:08 AM (in response to j. scriba)
The upgrade is not solely for new features... I am upgrading one camera to a 5DMkIII and Adobe will usually not let older software versions use the newer camera raw. Thanks for the tip. I REALLY want the new process to work like the old as I like the results. I shoot dance events and usually have a large number of large raw files so a slower adjust response is a major issue. As stated before, Dell i7, 12 gigs Win 7 Pro, 3 tb internal, NVida 2 gig ( latest drivers), dual monitors... LR3 was always quick.... Hoping Adobe does something for 4.1. I do have Capture One Pro 6 & the new Corel (old Bibble Pro 5) but always preferred LR3 as my RAW converter.
25. Re: Lightroom 4 is sloweswrite Mar 7, 2012 6:16 AM (in response to j. scriba)
@j.scriba: I just tried to reproduce what you described with the Clarity slider. I see no difference in speed or behavior (granularity/step of updates) between 3.6, 4.0-2010 and 4.0-2012. Each did the same thing and at pretty much the same speed. I'm going to try on a PC with less RAM and will chime in later.
EDIT: BTW, this is operating on Nikon 16MP NEF files (from the D7000).

Try the manual lens correction feature. I could have sworn I heard my laptop actually backfire. It was almost comical watching the image spasm and distort for a good minute after I took my finger from the track pad.
27. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowrkstarr Mar 7, 2012 6:29 AM (in response to BCormier)
Same here, LR4 very slow in some cases. The library module was slow at first but has improved. Now, the spot healing tool takes a LONG time to respond. I didn't notice this with the beta and LR3 was impressively fast and responsive.
28. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowshamus1585 Mar 7, 2012 6:49 AM (in response to BCormier)
I sure hope Adobe is monitoring these comments and working on it. I depend on LR for my photography business and will eventually need LR4 due to body upgrades for new camera raw.
29. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowedentonkip Mar 7, 2012 7:06 AM (in response to BCormier)
Thanks, frankc1978, for your detailed post. LR4 is unacceptably slow for me also - MacBook Pro 8gb ram 24" cinema display - but it's nice to see it's also slow for those of you in SSD land - I don't have to think about that expense for now!
I tried doing what you and hamish niven suggested - deleted the Preview file and also purged the RAW cache, but to no avail.
LR4 is not only terribly slow, but the real deal breaker was when I went to edit out a photo in PS, and LR4 said I would need Camera Raw 7 - what? There is no Camera Raw 7 that I know of. And when I opened the photo in PS anyway, LR4 had sent it the unmodified RAW file, not the one that I had worked on in LR4!
Back to LR3.6 I go. Four hours of work yesterday down the drain, along with the $79 upgrade price.
Finally - let's look at the file sizes: LR3.6 is 102.4 MB. PS CS5.1 (the mother of all apps) comes in at a whopping 410.8 MB. Did I say "whopping" - fuhgeddaboudit. Here's the new whopping - LR4 is 922.3 MB. Over twice as big as PS. I think Adobe has created a Swiss Army Knife behemoth. Time to go on a diet.

I do not use PS so far, but i red on facebook. ps still uses camera raw version 5.6 (or something like that) like lr 3.6 did. of course ps will not understand the prozess 2012. adobe made a release candidate today available for adobe camera raw for ps which you can download here:
This will help you using LR4 with Photoshop..........but it will still be slow as hell hehe! Want 4.1 update NOW with about 800% more speed. Everything else would be useless!
31. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowedentonkip Mar 7, 2012 7:25 AM (in response to frankc1978)
Frankc1978 -
Thanks for the Camera Raw link, but, like you said, still will be slow. And what's really weird is that LR4 says you need Camera Raw 7??? You'd think that there would be a bit more compatibility especially since LR4 now has "Photoshop" as part of its name.
Do you know if there has been any official response from Adobe - in the Forums here or anywhere else - about these reported problems?

I used LR 3 and now upgraded to LR4. I have a small laptop (I5, 6 Giga Ram, 1024 Video card, from HP). I really do not notice any significant difference.
The cursors are still super fast. What takes time (but is was true before) is to zoom in at 100%. I use Raw file from Canon 7D. It takes me about 4 to 5 seconds to zoom 100% in the Development mode. But again, no difference with LR3. As I'm not a pro, such 4 to 5 seconds delay is not a big issue for me.
33. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowfrankc1978 Mar 7, 2012 7:32 AM (in response to edentonkip)
Hi Kip!
Nope sorry. As i said, i do not use PS. I just red in facebook, that now LR4 works together with PS with this download. Just found it and gave it to you, but i have not found the time to search otherwere about these issues. I hope employes of Adobe do read here with us and will soon make a statement about these performance issues.

Although I am disappointed that the only plug-in I can use at the moment with Lightroom 4 are my onOne Perfect Suite 6 plug-ins, I am very happy with how fast the program is. I've noticed a huge improvement from Lightroom 3.6 at least on my machine. Win7, i72600k, 64 bit, 16gb ram, amd radeon 6800 series graphic card etc. Lightroom 4 is running better than any version since the very first roll out of Lightroom, too bad they didn't get everything completely right, but it seems they've figured out the resource issues to me.
Now if I could just work out getting all of my Nik software and Topaz plugins to work without having to install a trial version of cs5 which I have absolutely NO interest in using, I'd be completely happy.
35. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowfrankc1978 Mar 7, 2012 7:44 AM (in response to correspondanc)
I was used to work in realtime. Not 1 seconde and not even 5 seconds when zooming in. Klick and zoom. 0.1 seconds. i zoomed, moved sliders and delted, exported and so one. a raw converter today should be able to give the customer a fast and speedy workflow when the customer has a high end machine at the state of the art. i am not a pro too, but i love to take photos, organize them and do some nice adjustments to them. if you do not have a fast computer and you do not need/want this performance everything is ok for you. but people like me are used to work fast and fluid and without having lags and sluggish sliders.
you say lr 3.6 was slow (5 seconds when zooming - oh my god) and lr4 is still slow. so it is clear that you can´t see andy difference. for people like me lr 3.6 was a realtime workflow and lr4 is now ......you know what hehe.
Like i said on a 7D and on a 550D the workflow for me is much better like on 5DMKII files. Nikon D800 will come with 36MP. What will that give? 2seconds delay? Hasselblad - move a slider and go drink a coffee?
Please people stop telling us that lr4 is fast like 3.6 when you had and have a slow computer. in lr 3 people were able to put some money in some nice hardware and then had a nice and fast workflow, but lr4 is not even able to be fast on high end machines and that is my real problem with this software.

36. Re: Lightroom 4 is slowj. scriba Mar 7, 2012 7:46 AM (in response to robo_detroit)
I does indeed help to turn off modules.
It seems like even turning off modules that are neutral (like HSL) makes the basic sliders more responsive.
The sharpening/NR module ("details") has quite some impact.
So it might be a good idea to turn of lens correction and "details" and do the basic adjustments first, then work your way down the modules.
A somewhat unsatisfying workaround, but this program seems to need every performance boost you can get to feel responsive.
Try the manual lens correction feature. I could have sworn I heard my laptop actually backfire. It was almost comical watching the image spasm and distort for a good minute after I took my finger from the track pad.

FAIRHAVEN — Kenneth Wood, who passed away on Dec. 2 at the age of 86, had some hard feelings about the Japanese after serving in the Pacific in World War II. But as chairman of the Board of Selectmen 35 years ago, he played a central role in forging a Sister City relationship between Fairhaven and Tosashimizu, Japan.
Mr. Wood served at Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, his son, Bryan, said late last week. Thus, he carried some deep and difficult feelings with him on a trip to Tosashimizu in 1987 to witness the Sister City relationship pact. Mr. Wood went with a delegation from Fairhaven and New Bedford, which is also part of the Sister City relationship.
Gerald Rooney, head of the Whitfield-Manjiro Friendship Society, said the initial Sister City trip to Japan took place two months "after the Crown Prince, Akihito, and his wife visited Fairhaven." It was signed on Dec. 2, 1987, he said.
Mr. Rooney's wife, Ayako, was on that trip. Last week, Mrs. Rooney recalled the transformation and deep feelings Mr. Wood described to her on that trip.
"Ken Wood was there because he was a selectman," she said. "I heard that he was a little bit reluctant that he would be going to this kind of exchange. While I was in Japan, he was kind of irritated about being there, but, after the fact, he was talking as if his soul was being cleansed."
Mrs. Rooney said Mr. Wood's attitude was "very patriotic" from having served in World War II. "He was admitting that he had to come to terms," she said of the voyage they made together. "He wasn't 100 percent wanting to be friends with a former enemy. "
She added, "But when he got there and so many people greeted him — and especially the school children and the parade with American flags and Japanese flags really welcoming the delegation — he came to me and said, 'I was really cleansed' of whatever attitude he had harbored. He came to tears almost. He felt that he was forgiven for that kind of attitude he had harbored."
Mrs. Rooney said Mr. Wood didn't apologize for those negative feelings "but tears were welling up."
Calling it "pure patriotism," she described Mr. Wood as the kind of World War II veteran who would be upset if he saw a Toyota. She said he was the kind of person who'd say, 'Don't you dare park that car in my driveway."
Mrs. Rooney said she thought Mr. Wood's change of heart was "a beautiful story. He seemed to be a very fine American."
She described him as someone who "always had a twinkle in his eyes and smiling. And he took the time to tell me how he felt."
Bryan Wood, himself a former selectman, said his father "came back with a whole new outlook" after his trip to Japan.
He concurred with Mrs. Rooney's description of how his father was changed by the experience.
"That's all he talked about for a long time," he said of his father's momentous trip to Japan. "He really enjoyed himself over there."
Bryan was chairman of the Board of Selectmen in the late 1990s when a delegation came here from Japan.
He recalled that the mayor of New Bedford also attended the formal gathering, which took place in New Bedford, and that they signed a document renewing the relationship.
"It was really cool," he said. "My Dad signed the first one and I was able to sign the second one."
The Sister City relationship came about because of the story of a Fairhaven captain and a young Japanese boy he rescued at sea. Captain William Whitfield saved John Manjiro in the early 1840s after the ship the 14-year-old boy was on was blown off course in a terrible storm. The boat was shipwrecked on Torashima Island.

Samford sent nine men to the plate in the top of the second, scoring five runs to take their first lead. After Garrett Rice and Trey Moody had back-to-back hits to start the inning, Richard Bishop came to the plate and hit a three-run homer over the right field wall. With one out, Hunter Tubbs hit an infield single and moved to third on a double to center by Jeff Dils. Tubbs would score on a groundout by Justin Worthington while Dils crossed the plate on a failed pickoff attempt.
But the Bucs struck for five runs of their own in the bottom of the second, taking the lead for good. Junior designated hitter Steven Calicutt (
From then on, the Buccaneer pitchers took control, allowing one unearned run on four hits over the final seven innings.

A new guy on the scene
As I was poking around this old internet of ours, I recently came across a new(ish) webcomic, Abstruse Goose, which is invariably compared to xkcd. #9, for example, makes me almost wonder if they are drawn by the same person. The author knows that he is writing in the same style, as you can see here and here. There's no getting around it, it's very, very, very similar to xkcd. Though where xkcd draws people without faces, Abstruse Goose draws only faces.
I think it is accurate to call it the next xkcd. In a perfect world, Randall Munroe would start fading out his comic and this would would take its place, until it ran out of ideas, and so on, in the great Circle Of Webcomic Life. It currently has a much better average comedy value than xkcd; for example I found AG #15 to be way funnier than a comparable xkcd, #307.
But it too is not immune from the flaws of the genre - the current comic is very preachy, and not in any way funny.
20, as well, is just plain dumb. "That's a totally lame wish, loser" would have been way better. As it is it's just like "wooo, look who found some lame freeware stereogram software it's meeeeeee." But I digress - in general, I like it.
I would like to know a bit more about the author, and whether it is updating regularly. The first mention of it on Digg.com appears on or about June 18th, though that doesn't really tell me much about how new it is. Anyone know more about this comic? I'm also curious what you think about it in general.
Update: Hm, I think think comic 52 (posted after the preachy your-life-in-months one) is also pretty lame. It better not start to suck right after I discover it. Come on, Abstruse Goose. I went out on a limb here complimenting you. Don't embarrass me here.
In other news: 35% of top companies register [their name]sucks.com. But do they register [their name]sucks.blogspot.com, is my question. This was actually a problem I thought about when making the url for this site - it was a bit harsher than I wanted (at the time) but I wondered "what would be the most likely search term for a website of the kind I am envisioning?" and "xkcd sucks" seemed best.

Abstruse Goose is pretty good, just like xkcd (was). I don't know yet if it would be terribly funny or pretentious to start adding an "Abstruse did it first and better!" link to future posts. But The Goose is just about bangin' our moms, right?ReplyDelete
Googling "xkcd sucks" is what brought me to this shrine of enlightenment, after feeling a vague discomfort with xkcd for a while and wanting to see opinions that could justify my webcomic ennui.
Stay strong - this blog has become a favorite bookmark!
Cool link - this is a great comic. I actually like the "preachy" 51 and it was fun to find the text in the stereogram, and even funnier to read your criticism of it :)ReplyDelete
I am annoyed that googling "xkcd sucks" still brings up that lame metafilter.com thread above this blog. Some day, a blog entitled "xkcd sucks" will be the top google hit for "xkcd sucks," some day...ReplyDelete
And - the more I think about it, the more I really can't stand that stereogram comic. It's hard to describe why, but I think it's that there's such a great opportunity for greatness and he just goes with a lame Magic-8-Ball style non-joke.

Many of the classical fluorescent probes that have been successfully utilized for many years in widefield fluorescence, including fluorescein isothiocyanate, Lissamine rhodamine, and Texas red, are also useful in confocal microscopy. Fluorescein is one of the most popular fluorochromes ever designed, and has enjoyed extensive application in immunofluorescence labeling. This xanthene dye has an absorption maximum at 495 nanometers, which coincides quite well with the 488 nanometer (blue) spectral line produced by argon-ion and krypton-argon lasers, as well as the 436 and 467 principal lines of the mercury and xenon arc-discharge lamps (respectively). In addition, the quantum yield of fluorescein is very high and a significant amount of information has been gathered on the characteristics of this dye with respect to the physical and chemical properties. On the negative side, the fluorescence emission intensity of fluorescein is heavily influenced by environmental factors (such as pH), and the relatively broad emission spectrum often overlaps with those of other fluorophores in dual and triple labeling experiments.
The adherent LLC-PK1 cell culture illustrated above was treated with the traditional triple-fluorophore combination of MitoTracker Red CMXRos, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin and Hoechst 33258. These probes label the mitochondria, filamentous actin network, and DNA in the nucleus, respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

This entry in the New York Times "Disunion" blog asks readers to examine the aftermath of Emancipation: "Was freedom, narrowly construed, enough? Was freedom simply a license, the right to make choices, however constrained, as white planters claimed? Or did freedom extend to the ballot box, to education, to equality of opportunity? And who defined freedom, and what did it mean to 19th-century African-Americans, both under slavery and after the war?" Gregory P. Downs and James Downs outline current historical arguments on the matter and present a reading list for those interested in learning more about the difficult Reconstruction period.
"The Union as it was / The lost cause, worse than slavery" by Thomas Nast
The Library of Congress
Though institutional slavery had been dismantled, the struggles of African Americans were far from over. Discrimination, intimidation, and violence against African Americans was common in many parts of the country, especially in the South, where groups like those depicted here not only used political influence to curtail the rights of African Americans but also intimidation, arson, and lynching.

The Idea of America
A digital American history program that inspires and prepares high school students for active citizenship, developed by Colonial Williamsburg and distributed by Pearson Education.
The period after the Civil War known as Reconstruction lasted from 1865 to 1877. It was a time of rebuilding and reunifying the war-ravaged country as more inclusive and without slavery. This was no easy task and equality was far from attained by Reconstruction's end. In this lesson, students compare the hopes and expectations created by the Emancipation Proclamation and Reconstruction amendments to the realities of discrimination after slavery.

Welcome to the second tutorial of the series that began with "Using the Factory Pattern in PHP 5." Made up of three instructive parts, this series walks you through the foundations of developing factory classes with PHP, and also shows you how to implement this popular design pattern in real world situations.
Now, having properly introduced the subject of this series, let me touch upon what was covered in the preceding article to refresh your memory. As you'll probably recall, I demonstrated in a friendly way how to build a pair of concrete factory classes. These came in useful for spawning different array-processing objects in accordance with the specifications of their corresponding contexts.
Of course, defining the aforementioned factory classes was merely an introduction to exploring the remarkable functionality provided by the homonymous pattern, and it should be admitted that there are many other cases in which the pattern can be used successfully. Nevertheless, I do think that all the hands-on examples shown in the first article of the series were explicit enough to illustrate how a concrete factory class works and how it can be called statically within a specific programming environment.
So far, so good right? At this stage you should have a more accurate idea of how to include the factory pattern into your own PHP applications, at least at a very basic level. But don't you worry because this scenario is going to change quickly, since in this second tutorial I'm going to teach you how to take advantage of the capacity offered by the pattern to create objects that are capable of saving data to different locations, including files and cookies.
Hopefully, this experience will be educational and serve to expand your existing skills on pattern-based programming with PHP 5 even more.
So, are you ready to start reading? Let's go!
{mospagebreak title=Saving data using cookies and text files}
In accordance with the concepts expressed in the beginning of this article, in this case I'm going to illustrate the implementation of the factory pattern by creating a couple of concrete factory classes, which will be responsible for spawning different types of data saving objects.
As you'll see shortly, the factory classes will be provided with the ability to return two specific kinds of objects to client code. The first kind will work in a predefined "string" context and the second kind will be used in an "object" environment.
The previous explanation probably seems a bit disembodied if I don't show you the corresponding definitions for these classes, so here they are:
// define abstract 'DataSaverFactory' class
abstract class DataSaverFactory{
abstract public function createDataSaver($type);
// define first concrete factory
class StringSaverFactory extends DataSaverFactory{
private $context='string';
public function createDataSaver($type){
case "file";
$dataSaver=new FileStringSaver();
case "cookie";
$dataSaver=new CookieStringSaver();
$dataSaver=new FileStringSaver();
return $dataSaver;
// define second concrete factory
class ObjectSaverFactory extends DataSaverFactory{
private $context='object';
public function createDataSaver($type){
case "file";
$dataSaver=new FileObjectSaver();
case "cookie";
$dataSaver=new CookieObjectSaver();
$dataSaver=new CookieObjectSaver();
return $dataSaver;
After examining the respective signatures of the above factory classes, things are a bit clearer to you, right? As you can see, the first concrete class has been conceived to work in a predefined "string" context. It is tasked with creating two concrete types of objects, which save data strings to different locations, including text files and cookies.
In a similar way, the second concrete factory class returns to client code objects whose primary task is to save other objects (not strings) to a specified file or cookie. Of course, due to the nature of the data with which this factory works, the class in question is designed to work in an "object" environment. Quite understandable, right?
All right, I think that at this point you already understand how the pair of factory classes defined previously do their business. So it's a good time to move forward and start defining the data saving classes that work in the predefined contexts I explained above.
These brand new classes will be built in the course of the following section, therefore jump ahead and keep reading to learn more about them.
{mospagebreak title=Creating some data saving classes}
In the previous section I showed you the pertinent signatures of two concrete factories, which were originally conceived to work with different contexts, called "string" and "object" respectively. Also, it's worthwhile to notice here that the classes in question were capable of creating objects whose main task was saving different types of data entities, that is string and other objects, to simple text files and cookies.
So, taking into account that it's necessary to define the classes that originate the aforementioned objects to complete the programmatic schema dictated by the factory pattern, now I'd like you to take a look at the following classes. They work with basic string and generic objects.
Here they are:
// define abstract 'DataSaver' class
abstract class DataSaver{
abstract public function saveData();
abstract public function getData();
// define concrete 'FileStringSaver' class
class FileStringSaver extends DataSaver{
private $data='This string will saved to target file.';
public function saveData(){
throw new Exception('Error opening target file.');
throw new Exception('Error writing data to target file.');
public function getData(){
return $this->data;
// define concrete 'CookieStringSaver' class
class CookieStringSaver extends DataSaver{
private $data='This string will be saved to target cookie.';
public function saveData(){
public function getData(){
return $this->data;
// define concrete 'FileObjectSaver' class
class FileObjectSaver extends DataSaver{
private $inputObj;
public function saveData(){
throw new Exception('Error opening target file.');
throw new Exception('Error writing object data to target
public function getData(){
return $this->inputObj;
public function setInputObj($inputObj){
throw new Exception('Input data must be an object.');
// define concrete 'CookieObjectSaver' class
class CookieObjectSaver extends DataSaver{
private $inputObj;
public function saveData(){
public function getData(){
return $this->inputObj;
public function setInputObj($inputObj){
throw new Exception('Input data must be an object.');
As you can see, all the definitions of the above classes are actually very easy to follow, since they were introduced in the beginning of this section. However, let me go one step further and explain in detail how they work, in case you don't grasp the logic that stands behind these classes.
There are two classes that are tasked with saving simple strings to plain text files and cookies, which implies that they should work with a predefined "string" context. Two additional classes are defined subsequently, this time with the purpose of storing generic objects in the same physical locations mentioned previously, meaning that they must be used in an "object" environment.
So far, so good. At this point I hopefully demonstrated how the programmatic model imposed by the factory pattern can be easily implemented with PHP 5. On one hand, there are two concrete factory classes that work with a pair of specified environments, while on the other hand there are four "product" classes that are capable of saving certain data structures to cookies and text files.
In simple terms, the previous scenario describes theoretically the way that the factory pattern works, but it's necessary to complement this theory with a practical example so you can see how all the classes defined earlier can be put to work together.
Therefore, in the section to come I'm going to set up an example to show you more clearly how to use the factory classes that were developed previously.
To see how this working example will be developed, please click on the link below and keep reading.
{mospagebreak title=Seeing the factory pattern in action}
If you're anything like me, you want to see how the group of sample classes defined in the previous section can be used together in a practical example. In this case, I'm going to code a short script, which hopefully will illustrate how each of the factory classes that you leaned before can be statically called to create different data saving objects.
Since the two pertinent "product" classes that work with a specified "object" context accept an object as their unique input parameter, I will define a sample "User" class which will be utilized by these classes.
Here is the corresponding signature for the "User" class:
// define 'User' class
class User{
private $name;
private $email;
public function __construct($name='John
public function getName(){
return $this->name;
public function getEmail(){
return $this->email;
If you study the definition of the previous "User" class, surely you'll realize that it is very easy to grasp, so I'm not going to waste your time with irrelevant explanations about how it functions. Instead, I'd like you to pay attention to the following script, which demonstrates how all the prior factory classes can be used to spawn different types of data saving objects.
The corresponding code sample is as follows:
// create file string saver object
// save sample string to target file
// display sample string
echo $fileStringSaver->getData();
displays the following:
This string will saved to target file.
// create cookie string saver object
// save sample string to target cookie
// display sample string
echo $cookieStringSaver->getData();
displays the following:
This string will be saved to target cookie.
// create file object saver object
// create new user object
$user=new User();
// save user object to target file
// return user object to client code
// display user properties
echo 'Values for name and email properties are the following :
'.$newUser->getName().' '.$newUser->getEmail();
displays the following:
Values for name and email properties are the following : John
Doe firstname.lastname@example.com
// create cookie object saver object
// save user object to target cookie
catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
As shown in the above script, all the factory classes are called statically (note the use of the :: scope resolution operator) with the purpose of creating distinct data saving objects. For each specific case, the script also displays the corresponding outputs, something that helps in understanding more clearly how the factor pattern works.
I encourage you to use all the factory and product classes defined in the course of this article and introduce your own modifications to them. This will give you a more robust background in this particular pattern.
To wrap up
In this second article of the series, I provided you with another hands-on example surrounding the implementation of the factory design pattern with PHP 5. Nevertheless, this educational journey hasn't ended yet, since I'm going to finish this series by showing you how to use this handy pattern in a real world situation: building a set of context boxes, which can be easily included into any web page.
The experience sounds really interesting, so I hope to see you in the last part!

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsHow To Engine
Kaase P-51 Heads on a 1,014HP Basic Big-Block
We use Kaase P-51 heads and a 557-inch stroker to make big, reliable street/strip power.
When it comes to making power, there is one simple rule of thumb—bigger is better! Generally, if a 302 is good, then a 347 is even better. By the same reasoning, if a small-block is good, then a big-block must be … well, you get the idea.
The science behind the bigger is better is actually sound—for each revolution, bigger motors take a bigger gulp of air, they can burn more fuel and then pump out a commensurate level of power. Not only do they make more power, but usually do so at a lower engine speed, thereby increasing longevity.
Engine speed and reliability are inversely proportional, so having to make peak power at high rpm can decrease engine life. The reliability factor can be offset with cubic dollars, but big motors are both cheap and powerful, and that's just what most enthusiasts are looking for.
In truth, Ford offered two distinct big-block engine families, starting with the FE. The famous 428 Cobra Jet and 427 Side-Oiler FE motors were legendary thanks to Thunderbolts and Mr. Shelby, but the focus of this article is the other (bigger) big-block, the venerable 460.
The biggest standard displacement offered by the Big Three (Chevy, Ford and Dodge), the 460 Ford never saw performance duty and was instead relegated to heavy passenger car and truck applications. The 460's little brother, the smaller 429 was called into service for high- performance models, but for our needs, it doesn't matter where you start, as long as you end up going big.
In addition to its pedestrian status, the 460 was actually limited (in outright performance) by head flow. Despite the (successful) Cleveland-style, canted-valve arrangement, the factory big-block heads never delivered on their performance promise. Instead, big-block owners looked to the aftermarket for solutions, which eventually came in the form of the Kaase-designed Ford Racing Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet heads.
The Cobra Jet heads represented a performance step above the factory casting and the Super Cobra Jet heads a step above the standard versions. Despite the significant upgrades offered by the Cobra Jet family, big-block Fords were still limited by head flow—that is until Kaase stepped up and introduced the P-51 heads.
Advertised as the best Cobra Jet-style heads on the market, specs for the P-51 heads include 310cc intake ports and 147cc exhaust ports. The altered (from stock) valve angles carry heavy-breathing, 2.25-inch intake and 1.76-inch exhaust valves.
Port-wise, the P-51 heads were a step up (in as-cast form) from what might be expected of a professionally ported set of Super Cobra Jet heads. The flow numbers indicate that 400 cfm comes at just 0.700-inch lift, meaning there is a meaty curve in the lower lift ranges.
Always the limitation of the BBF head, the exhaust flow of the P-51 head checked in at 251 cfm thanks to machined and hand-blended port throats below the valves. A portion of the power production offered by the Kaase heads can be attributed to the CNC combustion chambers, which greatly reduce the dead area behind the spark plug.
With so much promised power, we couldn't help but take Kaase up on his offer to run a set on the dyno. For this test, we were torn between limiting the power of the motor and the expense of building an all-out race beast. In the end, we decided to build a hot street/strip motor capable of running on pump gas. To up the ante for serious race use, we also employed a taste of giggle gas to keep things interesting.
The only thing better than a 700hp normally aspirated street stroker is one that makes 1,000 hp on the juice. To that end, we enlisted several manufacturers to help us build a suitable test mule. Starting with a 460 block machined and bored 0.080-over by L&R Automotive, the BBF received a 4.50-inch stroker crank and rods from Procomp Electronics, and a set of forged (dished) pistons from Probe Racing. The 33cc dish combined with the 557-inch displacement and 72cc chambers heads to produce a pump-gas-friendly static compression ratio of 10.46:1. The balanced combination also relied on Total Seal rings, ARP head studs, and Fel Pro head gaskets.
Knowing we had enough head flow to meet our goals, we turned our attention to the camshaft and intake manifold. Crane supplied a dual-pattern, solid-roller profile that offered a 0.746/0.732 lift split, a 272/280 duration split, and 114-degree LSA. Healthy by any standard, the cam was teamed with a set of roller lifters; an adjustable, billet, double-roller timing chain; and hardened pushrod all from Crane Cams. Crane also supplied the necessary 1.73-ratio, aluminum roller rockers and timing button to keep the roller cam properly located. Though available for flat-tappet and hydraulic roller applications, the Kaase heads were equipped with roller springs designed for cams up to 0.800-inch lift. Topping the heads was an Edelbrock Victor 460 intake designed to accept a 4500-series Dominator carburetor.
Feeding air and fuel to the stroker was a Holley 1150 Ultra Dominator. The word trick hardly does justice to these new carburetors from Holley, but know that the thing was nearly spot on right out of the box. We tried changing jets just because we felt guilty about not doing so, but were rewarded with changes of just a couple horsepower.
To illustrate the impressive power offered by the Kaase heads, the 557 stroker was run with an Aeromotive fuel pump, an MSD ignition system and 2.25-inch Hooker headers. Filled first with Lucas break-in oil and a bottle of (high-zinc) break-in additive, the Milodon pan was eventually filled with 5W-30 synthetic for the power runs.
After a pair of break-in cycles and some timing sweeps, the 557 eventually spit out 754 hp at 6,300 rpm and 713 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm. Remember, this was with a static compression ratio below 10.5:1 and a simple oiling system (meaning no windage tray). We noticed the big motor was very sensitive to oil level and having too much oil limited power. In fact, the power climbed each time we drained a quart out until we started to get a drop in oil pressure. What this motor really needed was a windage tray—our fault, not Milodon's, as it only supplied what we asked for.
Satisfied with our normally aspirated power, we added a small shot of nitrous. NOS supplied an adjustable Cheater (plate) system designed for our 4500-series Holley Dominator. Adjustable from 150hp to 250hp, the system was perfectly suited for our street-strip application.
Math told us the 750hp 557 stroker would require the full 250hp shot offered by the kit, so we started with 200hp jetting. After installing the solenoids on a billet Wilson nitrous plate, we made sure to elevate the internal pressure to just over 1,000 psi (bottle temp at 92 degrees).
After minor adjustments to the independent fuel pressure supplied to the nitrous solenoid, the NOS-fed 557 responded with peak numbers of 1,014 hp and 935 lb-ft of torque. Imagine having 1,000 hp at your fingertips after swapping this fire-breather into a light Fox Mustang?

Dairy market plan is bad formula
Unlike commodities such as corn and soybeans, carrots are not (yet) among the major beneficiary crops of taxpayer subsidies or government price controls. Yet they still figure prominently in federal agriculture policy; look no further than Washington's latest proposed carrot-and-stick approach, one that Congress could very well enact in the post-election lame-duck session.
Since the Great Depression, the federal government has meddled with the market for milk in the name of "helping dairy farmers," ranging from outright taxes to incentives for slaughtering cows. In 2002, Congress embarked on a manipulative system whereby the government artificially inflates milk prices by purchasing and warehousing items such as cheese and butter. It also concocted the Milk Income Loss Contract program, which pays dairy farmers directly every time the price of milk falls below what the government believes the market will bear in Boston, Massachusetts (!). According to the Congressional Research Service, in 2009 the federal government spent more than $1.3 billion to support the industry through the MILC program and other dairy support programs.
Story Continued Below
This year, lawmakers admitted that the complex web of direct payments and pricing cartels for dairy ought to be ended. But in true Washington fashion, they're proposing to replace it all with something that's little better — the Dairy Market Stabilization Program. Proponents of this scheme, which allows the feds to buy up "surplus" products, offer subsidized margin insurance against price drops and penalize participating farmers for overproducing, claim that this time, they've hit upon the right formula. Unfortunately, the mix is still toxic.
Most important, constricting supplies will squeeze consumers. In July, Consumer Action, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union and the National Consumers League sent a letter to House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), opposing ploys like DMSP, correctly noting that "at a time when so many U.S. consumers are having difficulty making ends meet, the last thing they need are unnecessary, artificial increases in the price of staple food products." The Congressional Research Service, while more neutral on the subject, nonetheless concluded the "concept behind the DMSP program is that payment reductions are intended to have one or both of two basic effects, either of which is expected to result in a higher future farm price for milk (emphasis added)."
It is all too logical that many Americans would suffer as a consequence. Milk is, after all, an ingredient in everything from the pizzas consumed while watching the big game, to the yogurt many Americans eat for their health. And for lower-income families, the choice would be much worse than hanging up the phone on the pizza man. Some would have to make do with less in their shopping carts.

HSC Online Admission 2012-2013 starts from May 12 and Ends on June 6 – Class starts from July 1, 2012
The Bangladesh Government Education Ministry decided to make the HSC online admission process mandatory for all renowned government and non-government colleges across the country at higher secondary (HSC) courses for academic session 2012-2013.
Results of the SSC and equivalent examinations will be published on May 7 and the colleges will have to start HSC 2012-13 session 1st year classes on July 1, according to the government's decision. The colleges will start receiving online HSC applications from admission-seekers from May 12 and continue till June 6.
Key Points for HSC Online Admission 2012-13:
May 12, 2012: Start of Application Form Submission for HSC Online Admission 2012-13 Session
June 06, 2012: End of Application receiving by colleges for HSC Online Admission 2012-13 Session
July 01, 2012: HSC 2012-13 session classes start in all colleges of Bangladesh
"According to our assessment, the colleges having 600-plus seats, are renowned and face huge admission pressure. The online admission process is mandatory from this year for those colleges," Professor Fahima Khatun, Chairman of the Board of Intermediate and SecondaryEducation, Dhaka said.
Besides, the colleges having 300-plus seats will also be encouraged to adopt the online admission system. She said that only 29 colleges across the country introduced the online admission process in the last academic session. There are 100-plus colleges having more than 600 seats under the Dhaka Board, she added.
Education minister Nurul Islam Nahid said that the government has introduced the online admission system to reduce the hassle of admission-seekers. Like the previous years, the colleges will select students for admission to colleges on the basis of the results obtained in the Secondary School Certificate and equivalent exams. No admission test or viva voce will be held. There are above 3,000 colleges across the country.

So sue him: House Republicans are gearing up for a highly visible three-week process of getting legislation to the floor authorizing their promised lawsuit against President Barack Obama over his use of executive actions. The aim, National Journal reports, is to display a deliberative process and build toward a floor vote held days or possibly hours before the House adjourns for a break on July 31. House Speaker John Boehner has so far given few public details of what will be in the lawsuit. Obama, meanwhile, has called it a "stunt."
Hit the gas: The Hill reports lawmakers ramped up work on legislation to protect states from suffering a 28% cut in transportation funding next month. But top tax writers in both the House and Senate stopped short of saying they had a deal to avert sidelining thousands of construction workers in the heat of an election year. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, a Republican, pushed a short-term fix for the Highway Trust Fund, but on the other side of the Capitol, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, a Democrat, didn't rush to embrace Camp's plan.
Improper payments: The government made about $100 billion in payments last year to people who may not have been entitled to receive them, the Associated Press reports. That includes tax credits to families that didn't qualify, unemployment benefits to people who had jobs and medical payments for treatments that may not have been necessary. Congressional investigators say the figure could be even higher, and a House Oversight subcommittee is holding a hearing Wednesday afternoon.
Blank check: President Obama's request for $3.7 billion from Congress to deal with an influx of Central American minors along the southern border quickly ran into skepticism from Republicans. The Washington Post reported GOP leaders said they were reluctant to give the administration a "blank check" without more detailed plans to ensure the money would help stem the crisis. Asked if he thought Congress would approve the request, Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio said: "No, given the mood here in Washington, I don't have confidence it will happen."
Crist's new Obama embrace: Charlie Crist loves President Obama. While many Democratic candidates locked in tight races are keeping their distance from the president, Florida governor hopeful Crist isn't. The Republican-turned-Democrat is running what may be the most pro-Obama campaign in a swing state or a conservative-leaning one, The Wall Street Journal reports. "I love him," Crist told the Journal in an interview. "I think he's a great man, a great leader and a great president."

text: The mission of the Faber Center for Ignatian Spirituality is directed toward all faculty and staff to provide opportunities for them to cultivate their spiritual life and learn about the richness of Ignatian Spirituality and the spiritual journey. Our mission is rooted in the desire to support each faculty and staff's distinctive search and relationship with the Holy. From a stance of deep listening, they are given the opportunity to discuss the joys and challenges of life, reflect upon where they are in their spiritual journey, integrate their spirituality in an academic setting, ponder any decisions they face, or explore life's transcendent questions like identity, meaning, purpose, vocation, legacy, and the promotion of justice. This desire flows from our understanding of Ignatian Spirituality and the Spiritual Exercises, which call us to appreciate and be attentive to God's movement found personally in each of us. In an ecumenical and interfaith manner, we accomplish this mission by (1) inviting faculty and staff to develop their spiritual life through the Spiritual Exercises, other retreats, faith-sharing groups, spiritual conversations, and times of prayer, and (2) sharing with them the wisdom of Ignatian Spirituality and the spiritual life through lectures, seminars, workshops, and book discussions. We work in collaboration with the Office of Mission & Ministry, Campus Ministry, and Manresa for Faculty to further our mission and the mission of Marquette University.
