Obama Not A Pacifist

Obama was not a pacifist when he was elected to the Senate, nor when he was overwhelmingly elected President. He continued the Bush War and kept the Warriors In Place. Why would anyone be surprised that he would engage the US military in Libya? He acted too late, but he did act. Too late because the action will not cut off, will not stanch the advance quickly enough, nor sufficiently enough to permit the revolution to achieve early, easy success.
Our time to strike, was early and was by peaceful action. By waiting for the committee to report, the font to be selected, the colors of the background slides be perfected, the wording to be field tested; all these actions, as though he were preparing a journal piece for the KstreetY, means that the battle will be longer and bloodier. Too bad, again, too late. The late Obama

Deregulated Energy. Burned Man. Bad Medicine

the utility industry is deregulated. This, according to famous Texan’s such as the Bushs and members of the Brothers Gramm Fairy Tale Society is a better thing for everyone. The market has its own, very perfect, mechanism, like clouds falling from the sky and such.

A couple years ago a worker was so badly burned in a power line accident that he has lived for two years without a face. He has been alive but blind, without lips or facial features such as nose, or even eyebrows. He had no insurance when he was injured. Too bad for him, right? So they say. After all we have the best Insurance Care System in the world. Fortunately for Mr. Wiens some of our Insurance Care System was altered by last years Congress. These modifications allowed him to be covered by his father’s insurance. This meant that the team of dedicated providers of Insurance Care at Brigham & Womens hospital in Boston felt assured they would be paid for their time and dedication, therefore, they performed the surgery.

the foolish thing is that Mr. Wiens will be returning to Texas where he will need much more medical care. That care is less likely, the more that the Brothers Gramm are allowed to legislate. Jeb Hensarling and Governor Parry would like to do away with Medicaire, the only support Mr. Wiens will likely have available to pay his dedicated Dallas Doctors for his, best in the world, Insurance Care.

the RAW Stage

All editors are not equal. They all think they are superior. We know they cannot be each superior to the others. Each of us grows to like or become comfortable with one processor, often for the same reason we choose a format or model of camera, it fits.

To become the first choice product each software maker produces a ginso knife, able to do everyting. Each of the DAM tools holds your file and wants to keep it, completely. Meaning they want to be your editor, your publisher, your everything.

Can your DRM use an external editor to process your file?

Aperture ‘managed’ option: there are two choices for where Master Files are stored.
Master Fileis the file as it came from your camera or scanner. This is the CR2 or NEF, maybe a TIF or even PSD. this is the “as captured” data that should not be touched or manipulated. This is the original “chrome” or negative of the process. In Aperture when you do an “import” you specifiy whether the image is to be “managed” or “referenced.” I suggest you use it as referenced leaving the original out there in its RAW original form.
