Now this layer doesn't maul the image, but it still has an effect. ![]() ![]() We're going to lower the opacity to "31%". Now, the blacks have been given much more depth- Or rather, waaay too much. We're going to be using a solid black color: #000000. We'll leave the first two alone, but change the mode to "Overlay". A small box will appear, asking for "Name", "Color", "Mode", and "Opacity". Go down to "New Fill Layer" and choose "Solid Color" from the box that will pop out from it. This step is easy- Go to the menu bar at the top of the screen and press "Layer". This way, we'll be able to have moderately bright icon while still giving that "Multiply" layer some credit. Type in "85%" (you don't actually have to type the percent just "85" is good). Click in the text box, selecting all the text. In order to preserve the blacks form that multiply layer, I'm going to that small text box next to our blending mode box labeled "Opacity". Brightened up the icon, didn't it? But I believe that's too bright. Go to the "Normal" blending mode, click the drop down arrow button, and choose "Screen" from the selection. Click and drag the layer to the top, so the Multiply and Soft Light layers are under it. Right click that first layer, with our base set to "Normal", and click "duplicate layer". That's right, we're duplicating the base again. We're going to fix this in our next layer. This blending mode makes the blacks even darker, but also removes the whites from the soft light layer. The base has now been dramatically darkened, which may be way too much. Go up to that "Normal" blending mode, click the drop down button, and change it to "Multiply". Drag the layer up to the top, so it covers your Soft Light vase. Right click it, and press "duplicate layer". In your layers box, go to your first layer, with your original, untouched base. Your darks are darkened, and your whites pop out a bit more. By doing this, you're adding depth to a pretty flat image, and adding much better contrast. Now you have a copy of your base- Change the blending mode (it should say "Normal" for now) by clicking the drop down button, and click "Soft Light". A small menu should come up- Press "duplicate layer". ![]() In your layers box, right click your base's layer. I did not sharpen for my base, because a fill layer will give a sharpened look in step 5. Here, you may Sharpen (Filter -> Sharpen -> Sharpen) or whatever you may want to do. Now, you may drag those boxes (preferably the corner ones) and change the size the way you fancy without squishing the image. First off, go up to the top toolbar and find the icon that looks like a chain. Eight little boxes along a dotted line should appear around your image. Scroll down to "Free Transform" and click. You can either do "Image Size" (Image -> Image Size.) or do it the way I do- "Free Transform". Now your image may be obscured by the small canvas. Make sure it says "pixels" next to both boxes). Change the "width" and "height" to a 100 each. Press the enter button- Now you've got your photo. Release your mouse, and everything that will be chopped off should be in a grey-ish haze. Drag your mouse from the corner of the image you want until you've covered the entire image. It's a little box with a slash down the center- click it. Go to the crop ( ) tool in your toolbar on the side. Wonderful collage, but I obviously don't need all those pictures. ![]() First off, grab a picture you fancy I'm going to be using the sexy James Dean as my muse.

Grape Variety: Verdejo, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay ![]() The official format for comics/manga are static epub/mobi/awz3 (that's the main reason why many epub reader app are not great with epub comics/manga, they handle them as dynamic epub instead of static epub).īut the main reason I don't use CBR/CBZ is that I would have to convert my manga to CBR/CBZ from my epub (only humble bundle offer them in that format). they are not designed for comics (there are just a lot of apps, usually born to read pirated scans, that can read CBZ/CBR). epub/mobi/azw3 are more complex, they actually not just store the images but also the metadata and the double pages informations (so that you can display one images as a single image for example as a cover, and all other images double that you can also display as single images).ĬBZ and CBR are actually just zipped files. cbz and that's your CBZ file, if you use winrar to compress them and rename that. You can zip any list of images, rename it to. I don't use CRB/CBZ at all (my humble bundle manga actually offer CBZ, but I usually store ebook as epub so I don't want to use CBZ just for humble bundle, the main reason is also because I would lose all metadata with CBZ). That's fine (I also get the correct metadata that I cannot get with Kindle Comic Converter that I was using before Kindle Comic Creator, and the Kindle app is amazing and without ads) but since I don't always want to do a conversion I would prefer to just read my official epub comics/manga directly. No, I buy comics/manga from stores like Amazon, Kobo, Humble Bundle and other stores.įor Amazon and Kobo I usually use the app (Kindle and Kobo app), for humble bundle and other store I usually convert the epub to mobi with Kindle Comic Creator and I use the Kindle app. ![]() ![]() If I can at least solve the problem on pc that's still good (I know that I can extract the images for manga/comics but that's still not the best way to read them because I will need to merge double pages manually). ![]() If there is any plugin to make Calibre better just tell me. I want something that work on both PC and Android and that can read manga/comics with double pages support if possible, if that's not possible I will just continue to use the Kindle app (and Kobo app for ebook bought there). Right now I just convert anything in the amazon format and I use the kindle app to read, but if there is a good alternative that I can use I would like to know. The main problem is that I want to find a good alternative for reading epub without converting them and I cannot find anything.ĪDE from adobe is only an option to download and remove the drm, Kobo app is only compatible with ebooks from the store and Calibre reader is not really good especially for manga and comics where you cannot even zoom the images or view double pages as one (but it's not great for ebook either) and it's not compatible with android. That's why I usually buy from amazon store (but I was able to learn how to make a good epub to mobi conversion for manga by extracting all the images from the epub and using Kindle Comic Creator (not Kindle Comics Converter that mess up the metadata), so that's not always true, and the conversion from epub to awz with calibre is good). I love Calibre for storing my ebooks library and removing drm from my ebooks but when I read them I usually prefer the Kindle PC and android App because they are faster and the reader is better (especially for manga and comics). ![]() ![]() Then, when you are wanting to play in the twisties, pass that buddy of yours with ease! These stacks design allow the rider to use ALL of the revs Honda put in the great V4 engine to redline! These stacks allow you to keep the great riding characteristics of the V4 engine and also get a bit deeper growl upon full throttle that everyone loves. The one thing we didn't want to do was lose any power! After several versions tested on our software and on the dyno, we finally found the perfect set up for keeping the oem power the same as stock below 9,000 rpm and yet were able to get up over 5 rwhp towards redline! Actually +10 rwhp on redline as the stock bike simply falls on its face above 9,500 rpm. We spent countless hours on the stack design for these engines as VFR owners are known to be very picky and have high expectations. However, in typical Honda form, it is very choked up! They do this for many reasons, mainly noise compliance. We have many VFR800 customers and the #1 performance comment has always been "I wish she had more top end!" The VFR800 is one of the best all around bikes. These EDR CBR600RR Velocity stacks are 100% designed, developed, tested and produced IN HOUSE at our race shop and dyno tested in our complete Dynojet 250i dyno inside an INC temp controlled dyno facility.The EDR Performance Honda VFR800 Gen 6 (2002-2013) Velocity stack kit is here! Professional installation is always recommended however there are no special tools needed. Also our stacks maintain their structure up to 300* temperatures, while others will fail. Installing from start to finish takes less than 30 mins time! Unlike the others "carbon" stacks, ours are impervious to all chemicals (race fuel) while theirs are NOT!. We had over 7 designs tested until finally finding the perfect blend of smooth stock like low end and throttle response now with strong top end that allows the bike to pull all the way to 15,000 rpm rev limit! These velocity stacks have been simulated with our Solid Works software, then extensively tested on our in house dyno with both the stock ecu and our flashed unrestricted ecu program. many CBR600RR owners know what we are talking about This gives you, the rider, the confidence to get on the throttle sooner with a more predictable throttle response as well as a lot more top end power and speed! Our EDR CBR600RR Velocity stack kit will allow you to have a much stronger midrange and off corner drive and for once, also have a strong top end that doesn't fall off (stop making power) at 13,500. We kept the same power and torque curve as close as possible to the stock set up to ensure you have a smooth power band, however as you can see with our stacks the power does not drop off at the top end! It continues well past 15,000 rpm. Thanks to EDR Performance, our latest velocity stack kit improves power throughout the entire RPM range, especially in upper midrange and top end, right where these CBR600RR's need it! Honda is notorious for "choking" their bikes' intake systems down, especially in the USA. ![]() However, since designed in 2006 for the 2007 year, it has evolved very little and many CBR600RR owners have felt let down in the overall power and top end of the bike. The Honda CBR600RR is one of the all time great 600's and still one of our favorite bikes. Gains up to 8 rwhp!! Massive for a 600cc. ![]() ![]()
It is a must stop on my restaurant list in New Orleans! We were rewarded by seeing him actually send back a dish or two! K-Paul’s Kitchen is still a wonderful restaurant, updated it seems to have lost something in rustic charm but the food…ah yes, the food. We sat mesmerized as he stopped waiters to inspect the presentation and even taste the food. ![]() I stood in that line more than three decades ago- the food was amazing, the experience delightful- made so because Chef Paul was sitting in a huge chair like a throne- with a tasting spoon. Out of his kitchen came not only wonderful food, there were also chefs who would become famous in their own right. Lines formed early at his restaurant – K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen. Spicy and delicious- Prudhomme put New Orleans on the top places to visit for the food alone! He was invited to the White House as chef for an international summit and became a household name. So how in the world do you pick the best key lime pie of all? I chose the one that has the highest number of 5 star reviews that I could find and I can tell it’s a great one! This recipe is from the NY Times and has 5 stars with nearly 3,500 reviews! And fun fact for you: apparently, this is the pie that ends up all over Jack Nicholson’s face in the film adaption of the novel, “Heartburn”, which is Nora Ephron’s account of her disastrous marriage to Carl Bernstein.Īs far as the controversy goes-this rave-reviewed pie has a graham cracker crust, and whipped cream on top so people clearly really seem to enjoy this combination :) What is your favorite version of key lime pie? Meringue is not really my thing so this recipe is right up my alley with the graham cracker crust with plenty of fluffy sweet whipped cream on top! Have you ever been to the Florida Keys and eaten this pie right where it originated from? I would love to experience that someday myself.Yes, you read that right! Two iconic Southern Pies in one glorious crust! The first time I tasted Sweet Potato Pecan Pie coincided with the first time I visited New Orleans… Paul Prudhomme was an up and coming chef whose Blackened Redfish was becoming all the rage. a traditional pastry crust? Meringue on top or whipped cream? No matter what the opinion is on those important matters, one thing can always be agreed on: just to NOT add any green food coloring :) There is also a great controversy as to whether it should be a graham cracker crust vs. The origins of the pie are quite murky with many claiming to be the first, as is common with many dishes around the world. There is basically one rule and one rule only to key lime pie-don't even think about adding green food coloring! A true, authentic key lime pie will actually be a light yellow. And let me tell you that THE most important thing that will tell you if your key lime pie is legitimate or not is the color of the pie. ![]() ![]() The traditional key lime pie filling consists of key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks. But you know what? ANYtime is a great time for key lime pie, right?! When I think of citrus-ey desserts and things I feel like I typically crave them more in the summertime when it is hot and you want a cold, creamy citrus-ey treat, or possibly more in the winter when citrus is in season and at its peak. I was a tad surprised for whatever reason to see that the day to celebrate the gorgeous and always refreshing key lime pie is September 26. ![]() ![]() This has several advantages over a standard ID tag, since they won’t dangle into a water bowl or get caught.

Therefore, words such as "posh" or "poop" are extremely unlikely to have begun life as acronyms. ![]() Acronyms, such as NATO or "radar," were virtually unknown before the middle of the 20th century. I'm going to pronounce a little rule about the English language at this point, and I'd like all the school teachers and tour guides out there to listen closely. It used to get so hideously humid out there that I'd often don a wool overcoat and lock myself in the hall closet just to snatch a little relief from the bestial heat. Say, how's the weather in Columbus? I spent 10 years there, and no matter how uncomfortable the summers get here in New York City, I find solace in the fact that at least I'm not in Central Ohio. However, another definition of "poop" is that it is slang for "information." Do you have any insights to shed on this topic? - Mark Nandor, Columbus, OH. Also, in old English the "poop deck" was called the "puppe deck" so perhaps "poop" is not an acronym at all. The gist of it was that the crew would assemble on the "poop deck" to receive their orders for the day. It ran something along the lines of "Personnel Operations." something or other. yeah, I can see it.ĭear Word Detective: In eighth grade, I seem to remember a certain civics teacher of mine giving us an acronym for the word "poop" (as in "poop deck"). Of course, they've also got that really annoying fuzz on them, but Christine Ammer quotes an old Chinese proverb that goes: "Rather one bite of a peach than eat a basketful of apricots." Personally, I prefer the fuzzless nectarine, and oranges give me a stomach ache, but to each his or her own, I suppose. ![]() Farrell, in his novel "Young Lonigan," even described Airedales as "peachy dogs."īut why peaches? Why not? They're soft, sweet, and pretty. ![]() "Peach" and its derivatives have always been equal opportunity superlatives, applied to both men ("peach of a fellow") and women ("a peachy girl"). The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first appearance of "peachy" in particular to 1926. According to Christine Ammer, who has written a whole book about food metaphors called "Fruitcakes and Couch Potatoes" (Penguin, 1995), the peach has been used as a standard of quality and beauty in English since the mid-1700's. OK, enough with the gnomic fulminations, already. I think we may have found what the folks over at Wired magazine call an "early adopter" here. I am told that there is a new product on the market, a brand of orange juice spiked with a heavy dose of caffeine. I'm sure there are some readers out there who are assuming that I invented this letter in order to liven up an otherwise dull writing day, but let me assure you that I didn't. Now, what about peachy? - Shangrala Elrhea, via the Internet I figure oranges come from Florida and Florida is the Sunshine State and sunshine refers to happiness when applied to a mood, so "Orangy" is a simple way to say one is happy. "Peachy" is considered a good way to be, yet I wonder what exactly that means - to be like a peach? I have kinda gone against this tradition and have taken on the term "Orangy!" When asked how I am, I say "Orangy!" instead of "peachy" since I am not sure what "peachy" means. ![]() Dear Word Detective: I was wondering where the word "peachy" came from? People refer to themselves as being "just peachy" when asked how they are. |
