On my recent California tour I had the good fortune of getting offered to record at The Apogee Electronics recording studios. Apogee is known for their high end A-D converters, and microphone pre amps. They are globally recognized as the number one digital audio solution. Anyway it was the first recording where the Mic pre amos from the new unit called the Symphony IO were used. ANyway it is the best recording I have done to date. Sonically it is out of this world. Musically the same. Bill Cunliffe, Charles Ruggiero, and John Chiodini are the 3 of LA's finest players that helped me live the dream of recording some of my favorite tunes growing up in music. Tunes by the great jazz masters Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane etc. These musicians brought the music to life in an organ trio setting. The result is greater than I ever expected. Apogee used my tracks to demonstrate the sonic brilliance, and warmth of the Symphony IO with the attached video, and audio at the recent Audio Engineering Societies show in New York City this weekend. Anyway it is a true honor to be an Apogee artist, and to have recorded at the Apogee studio (Berkeley Street Studios) in LA last week.

Tha Places We Feel Free
Passion Dancer
The Places We Feel Free is the debut recording of drummer Tim Horner, out of NYC. Tim is one of New York City's finest drummers and Jazz musicians. His disc, 'The Places We Feel Free' displays Tim's musicianship as muti-faceted. He is a wonderful performer, composer and ensemble musician. His compositions (like his playing) are rhythmically vibrant. The tunes are melodically sophisticated, brushed with modern 20th century harmonies. You canhear the thoughtfulness behind each composition. The result is a release that unveils modern mainstream music, performed by an experienced group of NYC veterans that will surely excite the listeners, musicians and all who appreciate modern Jazz.
Everyone who participates on this disc has shining moments. It is so nice to hear Scott Robinson on tenor. If you are not familiar with his tenor playing, he unveils a richness of tone, blended with modern, creative touches in his improvisations. On 'Fanfare for the Common Jims', written for Robinson, Scott just rips through the form with ease and excitement! He then turns around plays with great sensitivity on 'Tis'. He and trumpeter, Ron Horton provide Horner with a front-line that swings, combined with oneness of ensemble. Congrads Jims!
I love vibraphonist, Mark Sherman's contributions. He plays with a rhythmic urgency that caught my attention—as in right away on 'The Room Full of Shoes'. The opening cut. The unison's and trades with guitarist John Hart are melodically sparring and enjoyable to listen to. I love how the rhythm section swings so hard—it gives the soloists the cushion and the necessary creative energy to just play ripping solos! Jim Ridl (piano) swings hard on that opening track on piano as well, creating an exciting and enjoyable listen.

I had just an amazing week in Orsara Italy from August 2-7. The faculty and band for the festival was Jerry Bergonzi, Jim Rotundi, Mark Sherman, Antonio Ciacca, Lucio Ferrara, John Webber, and Joe Farnsworth. Everyday we taught workshops, private lessons, and ran combos for 100 students at the camp. At night there were concerts, and all night jam sessions, and of course the food as usual in Italy is amazing. We ate incredible meals every night and lots of wine. I am not a huge drinker, but it is impossible to turn down. In fact if you try to say, "no thanks I don't want any", people look at you like your nuts. Anyway, I want to say something about each faculty musician individually.
Jerry Bergonzi is a musician, and saxophonist who I personally have looked up for many years. Especially since the death of my colleague Michael Brecker, Jerry is certainly the closest living sax player to Coltrane. Clearly he is deeply influenced by Coltrane, and of course all the great masters on his instrument. He has a deep understanding of the language, a fat fat sound on tenor sax, and the heart of giant. Deeply sensitive, and in touch with all the positive, and negative things happening in the world today. I truly enjoyed bonding with Jerry, and of course sharing the bandstand, and the music with him. He is gentle giant in the music, and his presence made it a very special week for me. It was really an honor, and I look forward to touring with him next year in a quartet setting.
Jim Rotundi is trumpet player that I certainly knew of as he has a huge reputation as a great player, but I had never really worked with him on the bandstand. It was great to meet him and play quartet with him on a separate concert in Foggia Italy sponsored by the festival. Jim is a humble, yet powerful player with incredible technique, and sound. And of course his language, and solo concept comes straight from the heart. I consider him one of the best trumpet players in the world. In addition he is a great guy, who clearly cared about the students, and bonding with all the musicians. A great guy to have on the bandstand, or on the road. Currently he is a professor of trumpet in Graz Austria, where he has relocated, and surely is bringing his genius to that program.
Antonio Ciacca is a truly fine pianist, arranger, and composer, and it was because of Antonio's recommendation that I was chosen as a teacher, and performer at the Orsara Jazz Festival. I am quite grateful for this. Heavily influenced by all the bebop piano masters like Bud Powell, Sonny Clarke, Tommy Flanagan, Red Garland, Oscar Peterson etc. Antonio and his wife Giusy have for many years been on the forefront of the jazz world as they together have a jazz booking agency call C-Jam productions, and have promoted many huge jazz concerts, and tours with the likes of Elvin Jones and the Jazz Machine, and many others. Because of Antonio's extensive knowledge of the music history, and business, he was chosen by Wynton Marsalis to be the director of programming for Jazz At Lincoln Center in New York City for the last 5 years. He is also on the Juilliard faculty with me, where he teaches the business of music. These days however Antonio is all about playing as he has stepped up to performing, and composing full-time. On Saturday August 6th the faculty band of the Orsara Jazz Festival played a work Antonio wrote specifically for the festival, entitled "The Orsara Suite", in which each musician was featured in a movement. A well-calculated work with great purpose that gave each of us many solos on all the movements, but between each movement each one of us had an extended solo feature. We rehearsed it several times during the week, culminating with a kick ass performance, and recording of the Suite on the Saturday night concert on the big stage. It was mobbed with maybe 1500-2000 people as we ripped through this piece. Antonio used a composing technique that we all often apply, in which he takes well-known tunes like "Woody And You", or "Like Sonny", and changes the melody, and or chord changes a bit, and turns it into his own version. It is quite effective, and of course we all had a ball playing this extended suite. It has been my great pleasure to work with, and befriend Antonio since I recently met him at the beginning of last school year at The Juilliard School. He is a fine musician.
Lucio Ferrara guitarist, and director of the Orsara festival has only recently become one of my colleagues. He is a fine guitarist, influenced heavily by guitar master Wes Montgomery, and truly plays as if he loves the music deeply. On Friday night August 5th Jim Rotundi, and myself were driven about 30 minutes away from Orsara to the city of Foggia, where we played quartet with Luca Santaniello, and Joe La Piore, two fine Italian jazz players currently living in New York. Lucio played trio with Luca, and Joe before Jim, and I did our quartet segment of the evening's festivities. I loved the deeply rooted bebop approach that Lucio takes towards the music. Much like my close friend and colleague Rodney Jones who also comes out of Wes Montgomery, and Kenny Burrell. What better place to come from as a jazz guitarist today. As a director Lucio did an incredible job managing, and administrating the day to day activities of the festival, as his cell phone never stopped ringing, as with 100 students, and the faculty he had to constantly deal with many issues that had nothing to do with playing the music, but when it was time to play Lucio really sounded great. A crisp clear sound, with great command of the jazz language.
John Webber is clearly one of the finest bass players around having performed with just about every big name in the business. I know him from his work the great tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander. I really enjoyed hanging with John as he has a great sense of humor, and many great stories of his experiences having played with Benny Golson, George Coleman, Cecil Payne, Pharaoh Sanders Jon Hendriks, and list of jazz masters that goes on and on. He plays immaculately in tune with a great feel that sends the message of authentic jazz. Flat out a fun guy to have around. His playing made me feel very comfortable which I see as the goal of any musician. When you walk into a playing situation make those around you feel comfortable. John quietly does a great job of just that.
Joe Farnsworth is a drummer deeply rooted in the tradition of jazz. As a drummer myself having studied with Elvin Jones as a youngster, I am always in touch with what the drummer along side of me is doing. If I can swing harder than the drummer on the bandstand, then it is the wrong guy. Joe is absolutely the right guy, super experienced having played with many of the same jazz masters that John Webber has played with in Eric Alexander, George Coleman, Junior Cook, Johnny Griffin, Pharaoh Sanders, and the list goes on. Actually the two of them are truly a great combination. They fit together stylistically like a glove. Joe sounds to me as if you mixed Art Blakey, Philly Joe Jones, and Elvin Jones all together. He clearly loves to play as do all of us, but when you mix the three drummers styles together that I just mentioned you get magic. Joe is an original player that creates that authentic sound of jazz. A fun guy who deeply loves the music. He is just a ball to play and hang with.
Saturday morning before the big concert I did a solo vibraphone concert in an unbelievably beautiful 1000-year-old church in Orsara. The acoustics, and the physical setting were enough to make one see god. I played solo versions of "Along Came Betty", "My One And Only Love", "Celia", and one of my originals entitled "Solitude". I felt it was a very spiritual and motivating performance for me as 50-70 people showed and listened very eagerly to what I brought musically.
I look forward to returning to the Orsara Jazz Festival and jazz camp for years to come. It was an incredibly motivating, and rewarding musical week.

Recovering And Building StaminaPosted by Mark Sherman under Antonio Ciacca, David Wong, jazz bass, jazz club, jazz drums, jazz education, JAZZ IN NEW YORK, Jazz performance, Juilliard Jazz, Mark Sherman, Martin Wind, Mike Karn, miles high records, Pete Van Nostrand, Practicing Jazz, Quincy Davis, Spiritual motivation | Tags: Antonio Ciacca, bass, David Wong, drums, Jazz, jazz in New York, Mark Sherman, Martin Wind, Mike Karn, music, performers, Pete Van Nostrand, Quincy Davis, The Setai Hotel, vibes, Vibraphone |

I was hit by a taxi cab while crossing 42nd street, and 6th avenue in New York City on April 22nd. I suffered a nasty head shot with a bad hematoma, concussion, and 25 stitches, 2 broken fingers, a broken shoulder in 2 places, and a terrible cut down to the bone on my left thumb. Actually I am lucky to be alive. It is a humbling experience to be walking across the street, and then to wake up from being knocked out to a stranger holding your head saying, "don't move, your head is bleeding really badly". Anyway I have healed up pretty well since the accident except for my left hand which is still messed up. I can play, but I feel I am still working at 60%.
Last week was the first week I worked in 8 weeks as a jazz player playing vibes. The great Italian pianist, Antonio Ciacca a big figure in the jazz world, was kind enough to give me 6 nights at The Setai Hotel "Bar on Fifth" on 36th street and 5th avenue in New York. I played trio and quartet with various different drummers, and bass players. Antonio played with me to make it a quartet for 3 of the nights, and the bass players were David Wong(Roy Haynes band, and Jimmy Heath), Martin Wind, and Mike Karn who is as good a saxophonist as a bass player. A super talent he is!! The drummers were Pete Van Nostrand (Kenny Barron band, Jimmy Heath band) for 5 nights , and Quincy Davis for 1 night. The music was rewarding, motivating, and spiritual all the way through. These players are all at the top of their game, and we just ripped through many standards, blues, and rhythm changes all week. I am truly grateful to Antonio Ciacca for this opportunity to come back playing strong. I play 3 sets a night for 6 nights which allowed me to test my stamina, and of course have a great time playing, which I live for. Of course after each night I was on ice like an athlete, and in physical therapy in the mornings. I was really hurting, and swollen after each night, but the music keeps me going, and I am grateful to still be here to play. It is like being an athlete without the 15 million dollars a year, whirlpools, massage and 24/7 physical maintenance. Not easy. Thanks to Antonio Ciacca for a great week!

Well we set off on tour for our first stop in Oldenburg Germany to perform at Jazz Club Alluvium on Feb 23rd. A nice venue run by a singer named Al Yasha Anderson. She is originally from Brooklyn New York, and now residing in Oldenburg. The concert was a nice start to our 6 concerts in Germany, and Switzerland. We are preparing new music for a recording in Switzerland on February 26+27 live at Chorus Jazz Club. We have been playing all new music by Tim Horner, Allen Farnham, and myself. Some very challenging stuff. On morning of the 24th we drove to Rostock Germany where we played for the second time at Upsprung, which is a nice little club in Rostock in the northeast of Germany. The music grows each night as we pour our hearts and souls deep into what we love to do. Next day we drove to Schwann Germany where we played at this really fantastic little place called Kulterschanke, run and owned by Sylva Tkotsch. We met Sylva last year when we performed in Rostock, and she absolutely insisted we come to perform at her venue this year. It was a great concert as it was completely acoustic with no microphones anywhere. A little stage which put us very close to each other. It felt great on the stage, as I could hear really well, and the usual monitor systems that these clubs have were not there to ruin the sound onstage. It was like playing in our living room. The music really took off that night. Before the concert, as the audience filed into the club, I noticed there were many older folks coming in as well as a younger crowd, so I felt that it would nice to give them a standard tune to start the set. We did that and then continued with our original music as we prepare for the recording on the 26-27th. Much to my surprise they were very enthusiastic about the original music. They really ate it up. We sold many CD's and it ended as a great night.
Now comes the tough leg of the tour. We departed at 6am on the 26th, drove 2hours to Hamburg airport. Unloaded, returned the car, checked in, and took our flight to Zurich. We need to be in the Geneva area, but the flights from Hamburg to Geneva were so expensive I chose to go to Zurich as we had 85-euro flights. Upon arriving at Zurich we caught a train to Lausanne to arrive for the concert/live recording at Chorus Jazz Club. We got to the hotel at 4:40pm. Rested I hour and went to the sound check. Ate dinner and hit at 9pm. 2 burning sets to a packed club. This club has become our home away from home. We are so well received in Switzerland in general, but it is our 5th year playing at Chorus, and the same faces, and friends keep coming. Sold a load of CD's and even though we were totally exhausted from the trip that day, and no sleep, we played our asses off. This band is incredible. For me it is a dream come true to work the music to this level, and simply to be on the stage performing at this level at this point in my life. I have dreamed of this path since I was 13 years old, when I first heard Elvin Jones play live at The Village Vanguard. I actually broke in tears during rehearsal of a ballad that Tim Horner wrote titled "I Wish I Knew You", as I became over whelmed with the beauty of the music, and the gratitude I have for these musicians, the music, my family, thinking of lost friends, and the difficulties of life. Another song we play is a beautiful waltz dedicated to the bass player Bob Bowen who was tragically run over by a truck while riding his bike in New York. The song is titled "The Place I Feel Free", composed by Tim Horner as well. It refers to Bob's stories of his life, as he spoke to Tim, and said how the one place he feels free is when he is riding his bike, as the day-to-day problems of life disappear when riding. How sad, and ironic he was killed in that place he felt so free! Life is so fragile out here for us all, and we must continue to be grateful for what we have. I miss my family when on the road, but my road family keeps me moving, and I am very grateful for the music. It makes me feel free, alive, and continuously motivated to, play better today than I did yesterday!! Second night of recording at Chorus tonight. Can't wait to hear it when finished!

Today I was on the panel of faculty members from the Juilliard School jazz department for a forum on the subject matter "How To Practice". The panel was made up of department chair, and drummer Carl Allen, saxophonist Ron Blake, pianist Frank Kimbrough, bassist Ben Wolfe, drummer Kenny Washington, and myself. What an honor to do this, as well as it is a subject matter that I feel very strong about, as I have preached this to students globally for many years. I have seen so many of my students over the years return to the next lesson having not improved. Many times it is because their practice method is not good. As human beings we always want to improve fast, and be the best quickly. Unfortunately this approach does not work. Whoever invented the expression "practice makes perfect" should be hung. It is a bad guidance quote. It should read "Perfect practice makes perfect". There is that fine line between practicing properly, and not. Many student come back week to week saying " I practiced 5 hours a day", but I do not see an improvement relative to 5 hours a day for a week. That to me means the student has wasted a lot of time. Practicing wrong will surely waste your valuable time. That is what I spoke about. Practicing slow, and building the speed up slowly, rather than going fast and repeating constant mistakes. Focusing on one phrase, or measure at a time. How to practice scales, and other skills we work on as players, of jazz, and classical music. The other five of my esteemed colleagues had fantastic things to say, like learning the music away from the instrument in your head. Focusing on one thing at a time. making a practice journal. Using a stopwatch or kitchen timer to force yourself to practice one scale or drill at a time for a specific amount of time. Things like this. Anyway it was a really informative forum for the students who are already some of the finest young jazz students in the country, as the curve at Juilliard is extremely high. Getting into the school is probably one of the most competitive auditions nationwide. They just don't accept anyone. I think it is even harder to get in than when I attended, and the year I got in they accepted only 2 students out of maybe 100 or more applicants. Myself, and Dan Druckman, the current 2nd percussionist in the New York Philharmonic, and head of the percussion program in the classical percussion department at Juilliard. I really believe in this type of forum/masterclass, as with a group of faculty members such as the one mentioned here, the students get a really deep look at how these seasoned pros have dealt with the topic throughout their own quest for improvement. I sure wish they had a jazz program run by someone like Carl Allen when I went to Juilliard, although my extensive classical training has served me well in my own career, and has made me a better all around musician. I was watching these students suck up every word we said, as each faculty member got up, and spoke for 20 minutes or so, about there method for practice, and improvement. The funny thing was we all basically have similar approaches, but different wording, and slightly different concepts, but each approach was valid, and spelled the same formula for success. Those students are very fortunate to have faculty members who care enough, to take their valuable time to do this type of class. What a fantastic environment to learn in, being surrounded by this faculty of people like Rodney Jones, Ron Carter, Kenny Barron, Steve Turre, Eddie Henderson, Andy Farber, Billy Drummond, Bob Stewart, Antonio Ciacca, Joe Temperly, and the six mentioned above (forgive me if I forgot anyone). Next week's forum is with legendary drummer Jimmy Cobb. I will be there!

Amla feels it is a matter of time before the Proteas come back strongly. In fact, he is willing to return and help the young batsmen in the team in a coaching role.
New Delhi:
The crisis in South African cricket is no longer a secret. If there were doubts of a void being created with the exit of the stalwarts like AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla in the batting department, they were confirmed after South Africa's crushing defeat at the hands of India in the recently concluded Test series. While pundits have lamented the decline, Amla feels it is a matter of time before the Proteas come back strongly. In fact, he is willing to return and help the young batsmen in the team in a coaching role.
Speaking to IANS, the former skipper said that the long-term plan is to get back to helping the young batters and give back to the game. But he feels this is a phase that every team goes through when rebuilding after the retirement of the senior players.
"I have just retired and while we were playing we did try to help out the kids. In terms of youngsters coming in, you can have one or two guys lead the team. The South African team does have experience, you have Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis as well as Kagiso Rabada. These guys have played over the years. In terms of us getting back, definitely, this is something I enjoyed (batting) and I enjoy getting involved with young batsmen and that was always my intention, to be involved," he revealed.
Asked if he could also be seen coming out of retirement, Amla answered in the negative. "As a player, no chance," he laughed.
Coming to the Test series loss to India, Amla admitted that as a former player and a cricket lover it was indeed sad to see the Proteas lose without a fight. But he once again reiterated that it is all about learning from setbacks like the teams of South Africa have in the past.
"Yes, obviously for anyone supporting the team it was disappointing that we lost. I know that the players tried their best and India were the better team. We had our moments, but couldn't match up to do it for long enough. As a cricket fan it was a bit sad but knowing the South African team, the one we have been involved with over the years, these type of setbacks generally sees the South African team come back strongly. There is no team in the world that goes through victories all the time. There are times when things will be difficult and this is just a difficult time for South Africa," he explained.
Considered one of the best batsmen to have played the game, Amla feels this Indian bowling line-up makes the Indian team almost invincible, especially at home.
"India have a good bowling line-up. In the series against South Africa, all the bowlers were at the top of their game and you don't often have that. The South African team in the past has had phases when all the bowlers have been on the top of their game and we have won games because at the end of the day you need to pick 20 wickets to win the match. An Indian team which has a bowling attack like this becomes a difficult team to beat, especially at home," he pointed.
Asked about where the Proteas bowlers are going wrong, he said: "When you are touring away from home, you need many bowlers who are at the top of their game. We at the moment..KG is a world-class bowler, Vernon Philander is a world-class bowler..are not at the top of our game. This is a learning curve that the young players will go through and we also did go through this in our career. Those are stepping stones to become a quality side. You have to go through the tough times to appreciate the good times."

The new China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze collection is so good…
(How good is it?)
It's so good that you just might lose yourself while painting your paws and forget to remove your hot rollers.
Please forgive the above picture. It started as a two-minute makeup look (brows, concealer, gloss), but I didn't make it through the rest of the process before being distracted by all the one-coaters (ONE COAT!) in the second half of this new 12-piece holiday collection (if you missed it, here's part one).
It's the chrome finishes, man!
Glitters and textured polishes usually steal the spotlight, and yes, there's gobs of glitter and show-stopping textures among the six shades here, but if you're the kind of gal/guy who loves mad pigment from a single layer, you have lots to look forward to in this limited edition release, which lands on shelves next month.
For pics of the first half of this collection, check out May Your Days Be Merry and Bright With the China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze Collection, Part 1
Elfin' Around, a bright red polish with a hint of copper, only needs a single layer. It should look lovely on paws/claws attached to lacquer lovers with warm skin.
I really dig the fine flecks of glitter in Just Be-Claws, another one-coater from the collection. It's subtle in the way that Chanel is. Save it for toes and your most festive strappy sandals.
One coat of Santa Red My List hits the spot. This one's flashy, for sure, but not over the top.
I think the next three polishes here look their best with two coats, rather than one. They may take a little more patience than the chromes, but you'll be richly rewarded with bling for your time.
With its multifaceted purple glitter, Put a Bow On It is one of my faves from this launch. There's a purple party in every bottle! Something about it says, "Vegas bachelorette party." Just add feather boa, tiara and arm candy. 😉
Be Merry Be Bright also looks like fun. The combination of big and small hexagonal flecks of royal blue and magenta glitter gives it a carefree demeanor. A good one, I think, for a mother-daughter nail polish painting/bonding session.
Oh…and maybe it's because I didn't have enough for lunch today, but doesn't this last shade, There's Snow One Like You, look like coconut cake?
Or is that just my tummy talking?
Good work, China Glaze. It's nice to see such cheerful, festive colors that go beyond green, gold and red holiday fare.
The new Happy HoliGlaze collection, with bottles priced at about $7.50 each, arrives at beauty supply stores, salons and online next month.
In other news…
Things are looking up! — like my head, because I can finally move my neck again in normal directions, yay!
I think I may have mentioned a couple days ago that my upper back was all tweaky. Well, just when I thought I'd be relegated to Thriller-style/Frankenstein-ian neck moves for the rest of my life, the pain has started to subside, so I can finally do a proper Monster Mash again.
It's the little things. 🙂
Let's see… What else?
Oh, yeah — I've been marathon-ing episodes of Parenthood for a couple weeks, and I love it. I'm already on the fourth season.
Anyone else wish they had an older brother like Adam Braverman?
I mean, I've always liked being the eldest because I got to do everything first, but it would be nice to have an older protector you could turn to for advice.
OK, time to feed my tum before it stages a revolt. Be back in a few.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

A YouTuber has been convicted by a UK court of being "grossly offensive" over a video in which he trained his pet dog to do a Nazi salute and now faces prison time.
Mark Meechan created a satirical video to annoy his girlfriend in which he trained his pug called Buddha to raise its paw when he said the words "Sieg Heil".
This led to a long drawn out "hate crime trial" which came to a close today when Meechan was convicted of being "grossly offensive," creating the chilling precedent that offensive humor is against the law.
Meechan was convicted despite the fact that not a single person complained about the video. He was also defended by David Baddiel, one of the UK's top Jewish comedians.
Authorities evidently wanted to make an example of him from the very start.
During the reading of the verdict, it was reportedly mentioned that the UK is a "multi-cultural" society.
Apparently, you can't have multiculturalism and free speech at the same time.
Given that border authorities are now banning people from entering the country for the crime of little more than criticizing Islam, the UK is now barely recognizable as a free country anymore.
Meechan faces up to 6 months in jail.

4 Important Argan Oil Benefits for Your Face
Last Updated: August 06th, 2020
The Moroccan Berber women have been using argan oil for centuries both for a health and beauty aid and to cook with. This amazing oil is harvested from the kernels of the argan fruit, which is in turn plucked from a tree by the same name. Often referred to as "liquid gold", each tree produces only enough fruit to create approximately one liter of this precious oil each year. Here are four very important argan oil benefits for your face that make it easy to see why this oil has become so popular in the western world:
For Moisturizing Your Skin
One of the most common uses for argan oil is as a skin moisturizer. When used properly the benefits of argan oil for your face include restoring moisture deep into your skin. The high levels of both omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and vitamin E help to rejuvenate your skin one of the many argan oil benefits for your face. Since the oil goes on smoothly and does not leave a greasy film behind, it makes the perfect natural skin moisturizer.
As an Anti-Aging Treatment
Along with the fact that argan oil makes a great natural moisturizer, regular use has been found to help reduce the depth and number of wrinkles in your skin. Loaded with anti-oxidants, Moroccan oil works to restore the natural elasticity and plumpness of your skin, giving it a softer and more youthful appearance. All it takes is a few drops of pure argan oil massaged into your skin once or twice daily to reduce the effects of aging.
As an Acne Treatment
One of the biggest problems with most skin moisturizers is that they contain heavy oils and thick moisturizing agents. If you suffer from acne, using these products is likely to clog your pores and exacerbate the condition instead of simply moisturizing your skin. One of the top argan oil benefits for your face is that it is non-greasy it goes on smooth and penetrates deep into your skin, without clogging pores. The anti-oxidants help to heal the damage caused by acne and reduce inflammation. In time, regular use can help to reduce the amount of acne you suffer from.
As a Protector
The skin on your face has to endure a great number of indignities, most of which can cause the skin to dry out and become damaged over the course of time. Among the many benefits of argan oil for a face treatment is the ability of this amazing oil to heal damaged, irritated, and burned skin. From dry, chapped skin to sunburns, judicious use of argan oil can help to increase the rate at which your skin will heal.
Skin care products such as those offered by Visible Science use pure argan oil due to its effectiveness when used for an acne treatment. Regular use can leave you with the kind of glowing, youthful looking skin you have always wanted. Learn more.

Every time someone asks me about my trip to Argentina, I can't resist praising Patagonia Eco Domes. An exceptional glamping place with the view to Mount Fitz Roy, wonderful food, and friendly staff. Recommendations are the main reason how people find the remote hotel.
We discovered that friends' recommendations are also the #1 reason of how people find out about MailerLite. Loyal customers have always been our aim and inbound marketing is the best way to get them. Today I want to share some things that work well for us and might be useful to you.
When I just joined MailerLite, for several weeks I was reading, listening and watching everything about email marketing. So every single week I would send a weekly digest email with the best articles I could find online. It wasn't content written by me, but was a great content and I wanted my customers to grow together with me.
After some time I put all these articles and videos in one place and created Ultimate Guide to Email Marketing. It holds some highly valuable content both for the current and potential customers.
At the same time, it was a great excuse for me to write an email to the most influential people in email marketing: "Thank you for content. Can I use it on my blog?". Everybody said yes. After that, I had one more chance to write them saying: "I just made a guide. Would you like to share it since your articles are inside the guide?" And they did. It was a super simple and smart way to reach our bigger target audience.
Since Ultimate Guide to Email Marketing is full of links, it's great for SEO. We got ranked higher because of the simple guide.
We constantly update the content in the guide to make sure it has handy information. Now 50% of the content is created by us.
Try to think what your potential customers are searching for before they make the decision to sign up for your service or to make a purchase.
In our case, our potential customers are searching for different email marketing platforms and try to compare them: pricing, feature etc. This is why now we have landing pages where we compare MailerLite with our biggest competitors. If people are searching for such information, why not provide it, right?
It took me 2 years to become brave enough and write a blog post about our company culture. Before that, I was writing about email marketing, about our product and about marketing in general. I thought that our company's story is not that relevant to our audience.
Anyway, I gave it a try and wrote a blog post "Why Companies Should Spend Money on Experiences, not Things". This concept is a big deal at MailerLite. We do believe that shared memories bring more values to the team than new free stuff. So I told our story and was very surprised to get so many replies to the email and comments below the blog post. It was the most engaging blog post. And this was the moment when I realized that people do need stories. We have to tell stories if we want people to relate to us.
So now I share more stories about our company. We have a separate section on our blog for "Behind the Scenes" to share our experiences in managing a remote company.
You don't have to write a new article every single week to give value to your customers.
For example, here's my article with "8 Tips to Create Dramatically Better Emails with MailerLite". I talk about the features that our customers might have missed. Since we do have a lot of new features and a lot of new customers, it's always a relevant content. I just need to update the content from time to time.
The text you're reading right now is part of a speech I gave at an event of Enterprise Lithuania. I also recorded the speech and you may find the whole version on YouTube.
Officially I am the only person working with marketing, but I treat all our team as the marketing department.
What do you say when you meet a new person? "What is your name? What do you do?" And then it's up to the person to say only the name of the company, to say how much he/she loves/hates the job or to talk more about the company and its business.
This is the reason why every new person joining MailerLite, together with a job contract, signs under 10 company values. #2 is "be passionate about MailerLite". We do want our team to be able to talk about the product and about email marketing at 3 am in the bar.
I'm really happy to see that our team members not only talk about MailerLite, but they share a lot of things on social media. A lot of things from our office life. Every time they do that, they put #mailerLite #lovemyjob. And it's the best advertising we get to hire more motivated people.
Actually, all the content we have on social media is provided by our team. These are the photos they've taken. I just republish them on our Facebook or Instagram pages.
Recently we started experimenting with Instagram. Every day one of us is taking over Instagram Stories. They're showing how they work and live for the whole day. Since part of our team is working *remote*, it's really fun for us to watch our colleagues. Where they work, what they do after work etc. It's authentic and unique content that our audience can relate to. This is what we expect to find on Instagram after all, right?
Are you on Instagram? Let's connect!
I'm Ilma, COO at MailerLite. I love seeing our customers succeed. When they win, we win (like being named one of the top 5 fastest growing SaaS companies). Email is my passion, although I took a rather unusual path. Before MailerLite, I worked in finance and art, which turned out to be the perfect mix for marketing.

It was less than a month ago that Sino-Environment annced that S$14 million had been "secured". https://atans1.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/sino-e-wheres-the-14m/ and implied that things were looking up
So it must have come as a shock to shareholders that the CEO had quit and the company is in interim judical mgt.
Were the independent directors doing the right thing earlier this year? https://atans1.wordpress.com/2010/01/10/sino-e-where-are-the-managers-doc/
Or were they intent on making sure they could not be sued?https://atans1.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/sini-e-the-plot-thickens/
Hopefully someone will explain to the shareholders how within the space of less than a month expectations were raised and then dashed. Though I doubt it.

MARVEL has a huge amount of following due to their popular comics and films so therefore, you can imagine the upset it can cause people when MARVEL Future Fight starts to suddenly have problems and in the past the app has even just stopped working for no apparent reason. Other issues reported are; the game opens up but then crashes or trouble with the servers, leaving many people in the dark.

Have you already solved this? Try uninstalling it and re install it again. if it still happens, make sure you have a stable wifi connection. Or you can try logging into mobirum forums.
- mak
We're you able to solve this now? I was not able to log in for a long time. But the answer for this is that you should get connected to a stable wifi connection. It will easily solve this.

- Lion Youngs
Same problem here. It will go to the load screen then crash. I do know that for the next several days they are doing maintenance at certain times which do not allow us to open the application. I am hoping this is the problem. Yesterday I could not open for half the day then later on I could. Keep trying as I think or I'm hoping this is what is going on again today. I hope we are compensated for the missed time as I have been playing everyday as well since the app came out and stand to lose much.

Ive been playing since the day it came out, I play daily. Now after this new update it said the game is no longer supported by my device. I have spent so much time effort and money on this game only for them to prevent me from playing?? Please fix this ASAP. I play on a android LG tablet.
- Buzle Bogdan
Epic CRASH! I try to uninstall and reinstall, but this doesn`t work 🙁
- Christopher W
My game is constnatly crashing when trying to play on my iPad, cannot even perform back to back missions without a crash. I have pretty stopped trying to play on my iPad. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app, I have scrubbed my ipad and refreshed the iOS and re-installed. Nothing has worked. It's terrible to think they have not resolved the same issues they had before on the iOS. I would venture to say, quite a few people are using an i-device for phones/games. When is this going to be resolved? Another thing, all these events are cool, except I spend 80% of my time re-logging into the game or uninstalling/re-installing the game in hopes of it working. Seems to be more a coding issue than my device, no other apps i play crash.

Crashes all the time can't even get thru one of the daily goals. It's upsetting cuz I love this ha e but it's way too frustrating having it. Rash and not be able to play consistently!!!! Helppppl

I have downloaded the new update today, after the update finished i opened the game. And like usual, the game download the new data. But, after 100%, the "Download Yellow Line" turns into 0% again and after that it move quickly to 100%. After 100% it change into 0% again, and this was happened until now or it's already 30 minutes. So now i can't play the game. Can you fix it?
- Philip Guy Fornwalt
This game was working just fine a couple of weeks ago. I reformatted my phone and tried to download it again but now it says "your device isn't compatible with this version" I had everyone unlocked and allot of my characters built up and now I can't even play it.

- Oscar Dillon Vasquez
mine wont get passed the marvel logo screen whats up
- Michael Gregory
i agree. it was working perfectly before the last update without halloween. since the halloween update, the game gives error that it cannot connect to internet while everything else its working perfectly. additionally, many other games such as injustice and wwe allow players to play offline while connecting to internet when it needs to update or connect in specific circumstances. something future fight team will hopefully try.

Proposition Nations
Xenosystems likes proposition nations so much it wants to see a lot more of them.
America is a problem for the world for two main (and conflicting) reasons:
1) Its proposition contains enough productive innovation to be scary. Independence war, foundational liberalism, constitutionally-restricted government, and laissez-faire capitalism have been a memetic-cocktail-from-hell for those in thrall to competitively-inferior ideas. But, undoing all of this, is the legacy of the American Civil War (in particular) —
2) The suppression of the propositional principle — i.e. geopolitical ideological sorting — under an idealization of national unity. Upon this pyre the liberal tradition has been incinerated, until it exists only as a charred parody of itself. The Proposition is by now little more than the State of the Union. Mandatory agreement, within an undivided territory, is policed by the democratic mechanism. That we remain one is left as the only strictly axiomatic propositional content (as the Trump and Sanders presidential candidacies in their different ways illustrate).
Spatial Metapolitics recommends that America do both Trumpist ethno-nationalism, and Sanderista democratic socialism, and a large number of other (more interesting) things, even also more stupid ones, if such can be devised. The critical point is the precise inverse of the late-modern axiom: As long as mandatory unity is dissolved, ideological tolerance can be extended without definite limit — across a disintegrated territory.
First-order ideological preferences, elaborated under an assumption of dominant unity, are a trap entirely irrespective of their specific content.
Here's a proposition: Abolish the Union. Only disintegration is worth doing.

This new offer goes hand in hand with The Joy of Eating Better, launched by IGA in May 2014 to inspire Quebecers to eat better. How? By encouraging them to make responsible choices, eat healthier, discover local and international flavours, and cook differently and more often. IGA is happy to offer its customers these high-quality marinated dishes that provide quick, easy-to-prepare meal alternatives that are not only healthier, but also a joy to eat.

So I haven't been writing much lately, as I've been busy, wanting to get other things done and get to bed on time. But I think I would like to at least write one small reflective thought each day. So I will start here in this post, and then every day I will write my new thought/reflection as a comment.
I have been really struggling with Mr7 and his continuous melt downs… I'm loosing confidence as I wonder where I went wrong (and if it is simply a reflection of me not being able to manage my emotions), and I struggle to maintain calm and in control when these intense melt downs just go on and on and I can't seem to reason with him. Calm but firm guidance is met with angry retaliation. It is at times like these that I feel like a complete failure. A broken marriage (that should never have happened in the first place) which resulted in two kids who I apparently am not capable of parenting.
But today my feeling was a bit different. Today I felt more ready to embrace the challenge. I have to accept that this is the stage that we are at right now, and embrace it. (I read some advice like this in a relationship self help book once. I will provide details when I find the book.) My life is a story, and in this part of the story my son is really struggling to deal with his emotions…. what happens next, is up to me. I need to embrace and love the stages of the story of my life. Perhaps this is the part where a brave mother steps in and acknowledges her own weaknesses and strives to overcome them and lovingly guides her son to do the same. (Please excuse the excessive corniness)
I read a post by 1awesome Dad today which is perhaps what sparked my more positive attitude. In his post he states that the following is the single most important parenting strategy ever, in every situation:
You have to become the most loving, caring, passionate, joyful, enthusiastic, understanding, appreciating and adoring parent/person that you possibly can be.
As the writer said, you just can't argue with that can you?
This post is turning out to be a lot longer than I had planned and I am running out of chill time…
But there is one more thing I wanted to say.
Today, I just decided to say no to ridiculous and unnecessary anxiety. Yesterday, I wasted so much time stressing about whether or not I should be out shopping with my sister, or at home getting stuff done. It's just ridiculous, I'm wasting precious time when I could be recharging, living and loving my life. Enough is enough. I don't want to be that person. I need to just put things into perspective. And get over myself! Go with the flow, and make the most of what ever situation I'm in, or decision I have made. These teeny tiny things I'm stressing about aren't going to negatively impact the world, or even my life in the long term. So. That's it. I'm kicking (stupidly unnecessary) anxiety out of my life.
And with that I will end my not so brief parenting reflection. Maybe I'll be briefer tomorrow.

South Korea, Aug 22, 2014: When Pope Francis told journalists on his flight home from South Korea that he expected his papacy to "last a short time, two or three years, and then to the house of the Father" it was certainly unsettling. Some reports say he laughed as he said it, but it can't be dismissed entirely as a joke: ever since he was elected, at the age of 76, he has pursued his mission with an uncommon urgency.
As the Pontiff completed his incredibly successful South Korean visit on Sunday, a Vatican spokesman noted that "Pope Francis has said clearly that Asia is a priority". A quick glance at the Pope's schedule confirms this: he will visit Sri Lanka and Philippines in January, meaning he will have visited Asia twice before he has set foot in any western country outside Italy.
Why has a pope who is in such a hurry made a continent where only three per cent of the population are Catholic a priority? Perhaps it is because Francis sees Asia as the spiritual battery that will power the Catholic Church in the 21st century.
More than half of the Asian faithful live in the Philippines, a country that seems poised to take on a global leadership role, with its remarkable new generation of bishops and outstandingly devout laity.
South Korea, too, is a Far Eastern Catholic powerhouse and a superb place for Pope Francis to make his pitch to Asia. The number of Catholics there doubled between 1985 and 2005, and one in 10 South Koreans has now adopted the faith.
What does Catholicism have to offer Asia? The combination of deep spirituality and social engagement, embodied so well by Francis, seems deeply attractive to many Asians.
With an Argentine pope at the helm, the Catholic Church is no longer tarnished by the claim that it is a European import and Trojan horse for avaricious foreign powers. "Christians don't come as conquerors," he told Asian bishops in one of the most significant addresses of his visit.
But Pope Francis wasn't willing to sit back and simply applaud the dynamism of the Asian Church. He challenged young Catholics to build "a holier, more missionary and humbler Church". Without this transformation, he seems to think, the faithful won't be able to evangelise a continent that regards Christianity with a mixture of puzzlement and suspicion.
It is difficult for Catholics to effectively evangelise those Asian countries that have no diplomatic relations with the Holy See. There are seven of them: the first among them, of course, is China, with an estimated eight to 12 million Catholics. It was heartening that the Chinese authorities allowed Francis to become the first pope to fly over the country.
(When St John Paul II visited South Korea in 1989 they refused to allow him to enter Chinese airspace.) But the path to reconciliation with China will be long and difficult: Chinese Catholics were reportedly banned from travelling to South Korea for the papal visit.
Nevertheless, some 500 made it to the Mass at the World Cup Stadium in Daejeon. But we must hope that the Holy See will one day also enjoy full diplomatic relations with China, as well as with Bhutan, Brunei, Burma, Laos, North Korea and Vietnam.
Pope Francis appears to have created a new opening for the Church in Asia. There is no doubt that he will seek to expand it during the remainder of his pontificate. None of us – not even Francis – can know how long that will be. That is in God's hands. But we must HOPE that it will be long enough to equip Catholics take the Gospel to the millions of their fellow Asians who have never heard it.

That's what I call a Polish Lancer
No announcement yet.
Best Uniform
This is a sticky topic.
new posts
Ewpeyia, do think, your lancer could be of some Polish Legion in foreign service?
Originally posted by the Iron Duke View PostTo be Honest, I'm a bit at a loss with your apparently Polish Lancers. I've never seen that uniforms before and I can't find anything. Is it made up?
It doesn't match up with any of the Polish OR Polish Legion uniforms that I've seen.
EdLast edited by ewpeyia; 06 Apr 10, 10:47.
Dear Ed, there isn't 5th Regiment of Chasseurs 1812-13. There is 3rd Regiment of Chasseurs of Kingdom of Poland 1815-1831. Tsar Aleksander I Romanow was King of Poland, then Tsar Mikołaj I was King of Poland dethrone in 1831. In Kingdom of Poland (Kr�lestwo Polskie) were four regiments of chasseurs + Regiment Royal Guard.
In Duchy of Warsaw chasseurs hadn't eagles on shakoes and patches on collars.

I've always been partial to the 6e Hussards, avec le schako rouge.
I've always believed the following, that clearly shows Chasseurs or if you prefer Jagers:
Regiments - Squadrons - Companies
The cavalry regiment consisted of staff and usually 3 (in 1806-1809) or 4 squadrons of two companies each. The 4-squadron regiment was commanded by colonel, major, 2 chefs d'escadron and 2 adjutants-majors. There were also standard-bearer and trumpet-major.
In 1810 the organization of company was as follow:
4 officers: captain, lieutenant and 2 sous-lieutenants
14 NCOs: sergeant-major, 4 sergeants, fourrier and 8 corporals
Others: blacksmith, 2 trumpeters and 79 privates
Total strength = 100 men (+ 2 enfants de troupe)
In November 1807 were the following regiments of regular cavalry:
1st Cavalry Regiment (653 men)
2nd Cavalry Regiment (571 men)
3rd Cavalry Regiment (857 men)
4th Cavalry Regiment (823 men)
5th Cavalry Regiment (943 men)
6th Cavalry Regiment (996 men)
The Poles numbered their cavalry regiments not by/within type but � la suite.
In January 1809 the Polish army had the following cavalry units:
1st Chasseur-a-Cheval Regiment (745 men)
2nd Uhlan Regiment (880 men)
3rd Uhlan Regiment (719 men)
4th Chasseur-a-Cheval Regiment (??? men)
5th Chasseur-a-Cheval Regiment (596 men)6th Uhlan Regiment (691 men)
In November 1809 the strength of cavalry dramatically increased by several regiments:
7th Uhlan Regiment (840 men in 4 sq.)
8th Uhlan Regiment (954 men in 4 sq.)
9th Uhlan Regiment (936 men in 4 sq.)
10th Hussar Regiment - "Golden Hussars" (803 men)
11th Uhlan Regiment (899 men in 4 sq.)
12th Uhlan Regiment (943 men in 4 sq.)
13th Hussar Regiment - "Silver Hussars" (1.048 men )
14th Cuirassier Regiment (610 men in 2 sq.)
15th Uhlan Regiment (916 men in 4 sq.)
16th Uhlan Regiment (661 men in 4 sq.)
In 1811 each cavalry regiment raised a depot squadron of 2 companies.
Due to financial difficulties in the Grand Duchy Napoleon in early 1812 took into French pay the 9th Uhlan Regiment.
When Napoleon liberated Lithuania (which had been part of Poland) several new regiments were organized:
17th Uhlan Regiment
18th Uhlan Regiment
19th Uhlan Regiment
20th Uhlan Regiment
21st Uhlan Regiment
Lithuanian Tartar Squadron
There were several regiments in the French service:
1st Lancer Regiment of the Guard (Old Guard)
3rd Lancer Regiment of the Guard (Young Guard)
1st Vistula Uhlan Regiment
2nd Vistula Uhlan Regiment
(Note: the Poles formed one regiment of cuirassiers but Napoleon felt that they were too expensive and suggested chasseurs or Uhlans rather than the heavies. King of Saxony (the head of the Duchy) issued decree that directed the conversion of these cuirassiers into chasseurs. Poniatowski attempted to persuade him into converting the cuirassiers into dragoons but the King repeated his statement. Poniatowski agreed but added that it will take a long time due to practical obstacles. Soon however erupted a war against Russia and there was no time and money for the conversion. The war in 1812 was followed by war in 1813 and Poniatowski kept his cuirassiers.)
The strength of cavalry regiments on January 1st 1813 was as follow:
1st Chasseurs - 219 horses and 266 men (incl. 16 in hospital)
2nd Uhlan - 471 horses and 484 men (incl. 3 in hospital)
3rd Uhlan - 594 horses and 761 men ((incl. 22 in hospital)
4th Chasseurs - 237 horses and 261 men (incl. 11 in hospital)
5th Chasseurs - 335 horses and 454 men (incl. 20 in hospital)
6th Uhlan - 369 horses and 436 men (incl. 10 in hospital)
7th Uhlan - 315 horses and 416 men (incl. 16 in hospital)
8th Uhlan - 256 horses and 314 men (incl. 4 in hospital)
9th Uhlan
10th Hussars - 77 horses and 186 men (incl. 18 in hospital)
11th Uhlan - 366 horses and 468 men (incl. 20 in hospital)
12th Uhlan - 440 horses and 481 men (incl. 18 in hospital)
13th Hussars - 448 horses and 669 men (incl. 37 in hospital)
14th Cuirassiers - no horses and 31 men
15th Uhlan - 90 horses and 201 men (incl. 20 in hospital)
16th Uhlan - 406 horses and 516 men (incl. 7 in hospital)
17th Uhlan
18th Uhlan
19th Uhlan
20th Uhlan
of the GRAND DUCHY of LITHUANIA
This was an officer's rank in the Calvary Regiment
called the Great Baton in the Lithuanian army.
The uniform is slightly before Napoleonic time I think. Maybe late 18th century. I'm not sure.

All human ills he can subdue,

And many a blessing know to stew
To make a megloamaniac bright;
Give honour to the dainty Corse,

While we are talking about Cuirassiers, I would like to say that French Cuirassiers and Carabiniers, indeed any Cuirassiers, are my favourite cavalry. Not because of their skill, but simply because the way they look.

Supreme Court Justice Predicts Return Of Internment Camps
" On Tuesday Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was quoted, in a Washington Examiner article, discussing the possible the return of World War II style "internment camps":
Justice Antonin Scalia predicts that the Supreme Court will eventually authorize another a wartime abuse of civil rights such as the internment camps for Japanese-Americans during World War II.
" You are kidding yourself if you think the same thing will not happen again," Scalia told the University of Hawaii law school while discussing Korematsu v. United States, the ruling in which the court gave its imprimatur to the internment camps.
The local Associated Press report quotes Scalia as using a Latin phrase that means "in times of war, the laws fall silent," to explain why the court erred in that decision and will do so again.
" That's what was going on — the panic about the war and the invasion of the Pacific and whatnot," Scalia said. "That's what happens. It was wrong, but I would not be surprised to see it happen again, in time of war. It's no justification but it is the reality."
The discussion of "FEMA Camps" has long been attributed to the over-active minds of conspiracy theorists, but when a Supreme Court Justice speaks on the issue, it would behoove people to listen. "

Get The Book
"Loading new brushes In Photoshop and creating new ones" is part of my Photoshop book "Learn Photoshop CC With Pictures", which is more revised and covers more concepts than the online tutorials, feel free to check out the book by visiting my Learn Photoshop CC With Pictures Book Page.
This is the 3rd and last lesson of Photoshop brush tool in this series, after finishing this article, you will have a strong background on how to use the brush tool more effectively.
One of the most powerful features of the brush tool is that you could change the brush you are using. And choose among various brushes available in Photoshop. You could also download more brushes online and even create your own. Making your brushy world unlimited in space and capabilities.
To change the brush you are using, just right click anywhere on the canvas, and then select one of the brush you would like to use. You could also do that by opening the brushes preset panel by selecting Window > Brush Presets.
Play around with the various brushes to see how many things can be done with them. Here are 6 examples of some of the brushes that come with Photoshop:-
Loading new brushes in Photoshop from presets.
Photoshop comes with more brushes it displays in the brushes option dialog or the brush preset panel. But you have to tell it to load them for you.
- Click on the triangle at the corner of the brushes option dialog or the brushes preset panel. You see a various set of brush presets you could load.
- Select the preset you want to load, I selected the M Brushes preset just now
- Photoshop asks you if you want to replace the current loaded presets with the one you are loading. If you choose "OK", Photoshop will unload all the brushes you have and only keep the preset you are currently loading. Which is not what we want to do. So select "Append" to load the new reset to the brushes panel. And keep the ones we already loaded.
Et Voilà, the brushes will be there in the brushes dialog or the brushes panel. Ready for you to use~
Loading new brushes in Photoshop after downloading them from the web
The online world is full of brushes you could use. Usually for free. There are many sites specialised in brushes where you can download tons of them. For this part of the tutorial
we are going to download and add the Starfields Brushes from MyPhotoshopBrushes.com
- Go to the following URL, which is where I found the StartField brushes:- http://myphotoshopbrushes.com/brushes/id/3390/
- Click on the download brush bottom. Marked by the blue rectangle in the following picture
- Unpack the zip file you downloaded
- On my computer, simply clicking on the resulting file adds the brushes to Photoshop. But just in case, I will explain how to add the brushes to Photoshop manually
- Click on the triangle at the corner of the brushes option dialog or the brushes preset panel. You see a various set of brush presets you could load.
- Select Load Brushes from the menu, which will open the Open dialog
- Locate the brushes you downloaded in the file system, then press ok.
- And we are done, the brush(s) will be available to you just like any other brushes, ready for you to use them.
Here are some sites where you could download more brushes:-
About downloading brushes online and copyrights issues
The person who created the brushes is the one who choose how the copyright terms goes. He can give it away or sell it for a certain amount of money. While in most cases you are going to use these brushes for personal things. Chances is that you will use them for commercial things.
The terms are different based on the site you got the brushes from.Some are free to use for non-commercial purposes. But you will have to pay for them to use them cmmercially. Some requires you to give attribution to the author when you use them.
Creating your own brushes in Photoshop
One of the best things about brushes in Photoshop is the ability it gives you to create your own brushes. Giving you an unlimited range of abilities. Right now, we are going create a double brush, brush that simply create two parallel strokes instead of one.
- Create a new Photoshop document (select File > New from the main menu)
- Select the brush tool.
- Add two strokes that are side by side, like what you see here:-
- Select the two strokes using the Rectangular Marque Tool
- Select Edit > Define Brush Preset from the main menu
- A dialog appears asking you to name the brush, let's call it "Double Brush"
- Click OK And we are done, and the new brush will be available in the brushes dialog or the Brushes Presets Panel
- Now let's try the new brush, as you can see, it creates two parallel strokes instead of one :D
Playing with various brushes
Creating a space using the star field brushes, I did two example, one that's simple that represents a simple and tranquil space. And the other which represents a glamorous one.
For those learning Photoshop to create signatures and banners. I created this simple banner using few brushes that represent plants. And also used some butterflies brush. If you looked carefully, you will notice that I applied the colour dodge at the middle of the border to make it a bit lighter. More tweaking of the banner, plus applying a bit more of other Photoshop tools, can make this banner look even better :D
Grasses Owl:- With the grass brush, I hid this cute owl behind some grasses, the contrast between the colours in this brush is what I like about it
In this seemingly complex example, I added a new grass on the sides of the road, I played with the fill of the brush tool, and I applied the hard colour blending mode frequently.
To give the grasses a more natural look, I drew simple shades using black. And again, with small fill value of the brush. I also applied a little white using the soft light blending mode to brighten the picture a little bit.
And now we are done with the brush tool. While I didn't cover everything related to this powerful tool. I taught you enough to do tons of things as a good start.
In the next lesson, we will start to explore some of the other tools provided by Photoshop. The tool I am covering in the next two lessons are probably the most two important ones.
