![]() ![]() ![]() I think it’s similar to Lightroom and Photoshop. I was able to figure out what I needed to get the portrait edited, but it did involve more. I ran into issues with it glitching, and the general layout is confusing and hard to navigate. Out of all of them, On1 Photo RAW 2021 was the most confusing and difficult to work with. ![]() It’s nice, though, if it’s easy to transition into a new editing program and do what you need to do.Īll three editing programs have different interfaces and took some time to figure out. When learning a new program or software, there’s always going to be some issues, and it’s going to take time. Let’s continue and see if one is worth more than the others. That puts Luminar and On1 very close in cost, while Portrait Pro costs nearly twice as much. That would be On for $90 ($64 right now), Luminar AI for roughly $99, and Portrait Pro Max for $170. I suggest you go with the highest cost for each to get all of the features. There are different versions for each, so you have options, but I’ll explain which option might be best. They all are a one-time fee, which might be easier for some people than Adobe’s monthly plans. More likely, it will end up saving you hundreds of hours, which is priceless. If you use any of them more than twice and it saves you more than three hours, it is well worth it. I would say that any of these pieces of software is a reasonable cost. I’ll be looking at the cost of each piece of editing software, the ease of use, the speed, the amount of control you have, the quality of the final result, and any bonus features. Automatic Portrait Retouching Software Compared The good news is they can do a lot of heavy portrait editing for you automatically, like skin softening, eye and teeth whitening, and even slimming faces. You will still need to go in and make basic adjustments and most likely spot removal. You can't hit a button and expect a raw image to be perfect. If you aren't going to use them for automatically retouching portraits, Adobe Lightroom is a better solution. Two of the programs have other uses and can be a complete editing solution (Luminar Ai and On1 Photo RAW 2021), but I wouldn't suggest buying them just for that. That means if you are only editing one portrait, it probably won't save you much time. For each person, you'll want to tweak the settings before applying them. This will mostly be helpful to those of you that focus mainly on portraits and possibly only those that are focusing on bulk. Before we jump into all the details of each piece of software, let's see if this will even be useful to you. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() From its opening palm-tree-lined drive, Katz succeeds in turning the iconic city upside-down and inside-out. ![]() Absorbing much of its production value from a series of stunning architectural locations - a mix of old Hollywood and newer, more modern structures - and carefully art directed in cool blues and golds, “Gemini” defies the sunny, almost tropical feel of so many Los Angeles movies. And besides, how could she possibly have anticipated the worst-case scenario awaiting her when she returns from a particularly noxious early-morning errand? There, lying in a pool of blood in Heather’s hallways, is the star’s body, shot through five times with a gun that, suspiciously enough, belongs to Jill.Īnd so the tone shifts ever so gracefully from a “Mulholland Drive”-style study of these two Tinseltown doubles to a more “Night Moves”-like genre-movie homage. Still, protective as she is, Jill can’t necessarily be there to shoulder all of Heather’s troubles. Ditto when an overzealous paparazzo starts asking personal questions about the celeb’s recent breakup, insinuating that the relationship between star and assistant runs far deeper than fans realize (as it actually does for so many stars). When an intense young fan with an uncanny resemblance to Heather approaches them at the diner, it’s Jill’s job to shield her boss. Like a bodyguard, surrogate sister, and personal servant in one, Jill does her job without complaint. Compared to Kirke, Kravitz (appropriately) comes across more aloof and ethereal, and slightly fragile to boot.įaced with the prospect of telling a director (Nelson Franklin) that she’s bailing on his project, Heather asks Jill to do her dirty work. She has an uncanny way of just being on screen, which is the perfect state for her character, Jill LeBeau, unseen shadow to a young movie star named Heather Anderson (Zoë Kravitz). The film’s sly refinement isn’t so immediately apparent, as “Gemini” begins quite casually in the suburbs of L.A., idling in the car with Lola Kirke, an actress who - like “Mistress America” co-star Greta Gerwig - doesn’t seem like an actress at all. Despite having been made on modest means (and produced by Adele Romanski, the patron saint of “Moonlight,” among others), “Gemini” is every bit as elegant and stylish as French director Olivier Assayas’ last two movies, “Clouds of Sils Maria” and “Personal Shopper” - and could conceivably do similar business. A few years back, indie director Aaron Katz moved to Los Angeles from Portland, Ore., synthesizing his impressions into the gleaming blue sapphire that is “Gemini,” a subtle, sophisticated neo-noir focused on the odd co-dependent relationship between a starlet and her personal assistant - and how that dynamic is tested when one of them drops dead.Īlthough Katz unveiled “Gemini” at South by Southwest (the same film festival that effectively “discovered” him 11 years earlier with “Dance Party, USA”), this sleek and playful identity puzzler would have been right at home at Sundance (which screened his last, the Iceland-set “Land Ho!”) - or Cannes, for that matter. There’s an old saying that goes, “Nobody comes from Los Angeles.” Rather, the city is made up of millions of displaced souls who’ve found their way to Los Angeles from someplace else, which goes a long way to explain why no two filmmakers seem to view the city in the same way - because everyone, in some way, is an outsider there. ![]() ![]() HVU with HAS/HAS-E rod Adhesive anchor 10 / 2012 366 Curing time for general conditions Data according ETA-05/0255, issue Temperature of the base material Curing time before anchor can be fully loaded t cure 20 ☌ Demo Package!! - Deluxe Galvanized Trailer -Side Anchor System - Front/Rear Casting Brace - Front/Rear Pedestal Seats - Rod Storage Tubes - Custom Boat Cover This COMPLETE Package Has Only seen The Water A Couple Times And Is Still In VERY Good Condition!! $9500.

I did have a student ask me to open the refrigerator so they could look inside. So this is making us rethink how we do PhD training and mentoring. Oh my gosh - three hours on Zoom would be horrible. Before the pandemic hit, PhD seminars were run exactly as they’d always been run: You go in a seminar room for three hours with no break. Teaching remotely is also forcing us to break up our material into bite-size pieces. Now we’re having more social time, even if it’s virtual. There may be a barbecue or happy hour once a term, but that’s about it. Right now, I mostly work with PhD students, and traditionally it’s not part of the culture to spend a lot of time with them out of the office. In a weird sort of way, I feel closer with my students these days, because we’re seeing each other in our homes. Using this formula and then much more sophisticated regression models, we can figure out if there is support for our hypothesis - that is, that protests actually matter to stock price returns. ![]() For example, I’ve done research on the effect that protests have on companies’ stock prices. So we need to be able to say with some degree of certainty that what we are postulating from our observational data has statistical validity. It’s a basic but important tool, because with the kind of observational research that I do, and that my students do, the data are messy. I’m a quantitative social scientist, so this is one of the fundamental statistical equations that I teach and use in my research. It’s used to figure out if you’re making correct or erroneous assumptions about the correlation between two data points. The formula I drew here is a correlation coefficient. When I’m going into a Zoom conference, I say to my husband and son, “OK, I’m going to be on the whiteboard from 10 to 11, so that means you should get your food before or after that, because you can’t come in and open the fridge.” Lorraine, the cat, doesn’t have any such rules.

In " Too Pure to Be Pink", the T-Birds sarcastically knelt to a hall monitor, then blocked the girls from passing through. Gil protested over his stolen car while Richie chuckled as he taught her that. Cynthia snagged the keys to the T-Birds car from under the rim and tossed them to Olivia, who drove them away. The girls gave parting words as they fled the stage with everyone in pursuit. ![]() The girls mooned the audience which thrilled Gil, Potato, and Shy Guy, while Richie tried to deter them from looking at his sister. The gang attended the student council candidacy assembly that night where Jane decided to run for student council president with the support of Olivia, Cynthia, and Nancy. Shy Guy insisted they wanted her to pal around with them still, but Cynthia pretended it was fine. Gil and Richie explained that the T-Birds just got their respect back and couldn't let a girl in now. They thanked her and she eagerly asked about her jacket. They played it coy until Cynthia arrived having escaped McGee and taken the fall for them. The student body headed to Frosty Palace afterward, and the Rydell Review asked the T-Birds for a comment about their actions that night. She made a distraction while the T-Birds fled the scene. Unfortunately, Cynthia's mascot's head fell off, which exposed her identity. They stood in front of the band and mooned the audience. The gang continued with their prank anyway. The pep rally began that night, though the T-Birds were nearly upstaged when Susan humiliated Jane with a banner that changed from “THIS YEAR, RYDELL GOES ALL THE WAY” to "JANE FACCIANO GOES ALL THE WAY". Richie agreed and joked that if they pulled it off, he'll give her his. If they pull it off, she would get her own T-Birds jacket. After it ended, Cynthia explained to Gil that they would interrupt the pep rally that night. She led them in a performance of “ New Cool”. She gave her case and offered an initiation she would get them revenge. Cynthia announced she wanted to be a T-Bird, but they laughed at her. In a garage, the T-Birds plotted revenge against the Rangers for the disrespect at the football field. The Rangers mocked the T-Birds as the groups dispersed. Susan admitted that she exaggerated a little. She reasoned with Susan that someone could get hurt. Jane intervened before it could escalate and told everyone what she saw. Neil didn't believe Susan would associate with low-life dirty greasers or “ their whore sisters”, which provoked Richie to attack Neil. Richie, the T-Birds, Olivia, and Cynthia stalked over as Richie argued that Susan flipped the roles. This sparked her to run to the Socs to claim Richie stalked her. The T-Birds hung out together at the bleachers, though Richie was accosted by Susan and coldly turned her down. She grabbed hold of Richie to ask him what people said about her and learned the extent of the salacious rumors. Gil and Potato remarked that under her skirt was NYC's biggest tourist attraction. The T-Birds burst through the corridor and peeped up Jane Facciano's skirt as she hung a pep rally banner. The T-Birds walked to school together the next day with Olivia and Cynthia. He stammered then admitted that maybe the other guy's would go for her joining. Once alone, Shy Guy offered his jacket to a cold Cynthia, who mistook his gesture as his approval of her joining the all-boys gang. Susan approached Richie, so Gil dropped the keys into his expecting hand. Cynthia Zdunowski thought they should get drunk on the liquor she brought for them, but they shut her down. They then planned to pick up girls, and agreed that whoever got the first girl would get the famed T-Bird car. The gang rolled up at the drive-in where they joined the student body in " Grease is the Word". In " We're Gonna Rule the School", the T-Birds are led by the sharp-witted and grease-slicken best friends Richie Valdovinos and Gil Rizzo. In the sequel, they consist of Johnny Nogerelli, Louis DiMucci, Goose McKenzie, Davey Jaworski, and later Michael Carrington. Throughout the movie, they can be seen sporting their black leather jackets with their T-Birds insignia on the back. They sport pomade in their duck-tailed hair, jeans, T-shirts, and either boots or high-top sneakers. In the first film, they consist of Danny Zuko, Kenickie, Doody, Sonny, and Putzie. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes, you will be presented with a choice which will have an affect on the storyline.

Tools used to make this Breaded Pork Chops recipe ![]() If you like it in the middle, then find the sweet spot between those two!īe sure to check out these other great Real Housemoms Recipes! If you prefer your meat to be medium, the pork chop temperature should be between 150-155 degrees F, if you’re more of a well-done meat kind of person, then you’ll want your thermometer to read 160 degrees F. However, the only way to get a true idea of whether your pork is cooked sufficiently (aside from cutting them all open) is to use a meat thermometer. I’ve found that the sweet spot is around 3 to 4 minutes of frying per side. So, depending on the cut of your meat, your cook time will vary a bit. This recipe calls for “thin cut” but “thin” can mean very different things to different people. The more you move the meat around in the pan, the tougher your meat becomes.Įvery butcher cuts their pork chops to a different thickness. Like I mentioned before, you’re really going to have to keep your hands (and spatula!) off while frying these pork chops. Remove them from the pan and plate them however you please!

Here’s what you’ll need: One of the greatest things about this dish is that it is made with all pantry staples. As long as you can go to the grocery store to grab some pork chops, you should have everything else you need on hand at home!Īnother one of my favorite things about this recipe is that the breaded pork chops are the perfect blank slate for whatever type of dinner you want to prepare: if you want a simple meat and potatoes type meal – breaded pork chops and mashed potatoes.

I used what my mom taught me to create this perfect pork chop recipe. It’s not as simple as just throwing some breadcrumbs on. I’m talking chicken parmesan (and eggplant parm…YUM), fried chicken, chicken fried steak, and breaded pork chops! She’s the one who taught me the true art of using breadcrumbs. That being said, today I’ve got to give some credit to my mom.

It’s slick, simple, and very Apple. Apple will surely develop its own Lightning-to-USB-C adapter to cover its billion+ legacy devices out there, but perhaps there is an opportunity for something better too.Īs for existing third-party USB-C DACs, that could well be one less adapter (and bit of bulk) required for them to fit into a new iPhone – that is, if Apple allows them to play ball with iPhones from a software and power current point of view, which has been a hurdle for some supporting iPhones in the past.Utilizing the iPhone 12, 13, and 14 range's method of using magnets to perfectly align everything, the MagSafe Battery Pack looks great. Perhaps the ‘Apple DAC’ pot is already brewing, waiting for the USB-C switch. That said, the switch to USB-C could have indirect implications on how we consume higher-quality music on iPhones.Įver since Apple started offering hi-res streams on Apple Music, we have wondered why Apple hasn’t cashed in and launched its own DAC – one of a higher quality than its fundamentally crude Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter (which is essentially a DAC and low-power amplifier that arguably acts as more of an 'enabler' than an 'improver'). With rumours of iPhones switching from a Lightning port to USB-C refusing to go away, we have pondered whether this will change things or increase support to, say, 192kHz? Directly, it won't – a connection is a connection and it’ll come down to whether Apple allows the DACs inside its future iPhones and/or adaptors to passthrough higher than 48kHz sample rates uncompressed. Will that be the case forever? We hope not. Of course, we’ll be the first to admit that connecting external kit to your iPhone 13 isn’t the most elegant solution, but if you want to hear the full original resolution of your hi-res files through your iPhone above and beyond 24-bit/48kHz, using an external DAC with your iPhone really is the only way to go. ![]() Remember, a number of these DACs usually have ways of indicating what sample rate is being played, so you can make sure your headphones are being fed the best sound quality possible from your files. That might be a touch overkill and punishingly transparent for an iPhone, but these are hi-res files, after all. You could combine the Chord Hugo 2 DAC with a pair of Beyerdynamic T1 (3rd Generation) headphones for a more premium set-up. ![]() Don’t be afraid to build up to a more revealing system. This is just a starting point, of course. Next, you need a decent DAC such as the Audioquest DragonFly Cobalt, Cyrus soundKey or Chord Mojo 2 and a good pair of headphones, such as the Grado SR325x, Shure Aonic 3 or Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X. What do you need to play hi-res on your iPhone?įirst, you’ll need to invest in Apple’s Lightning-to-USB camera adapter which forms a link between your iPhone and a third-party DAC. Really, if you want to listen to anything at 24-bit/96kHz or higher, you need to connect your iPhone to an external DAC. We haven’t come across any that can handle above 24-bit/48kHz. Similarly, you could go down the Lightning headphones route and plug a pair straight into your iPhone, but these headphones are quite rare and you’ll also need to check what resolution their DAC can handle. If you try and play these files through the same adapter, the iPhone will just downsample them to 24-bit/48kHz. Technically, 24-bit/48kHz is classed as hi-res as it's above 'CD quality's 16-bit/44.1kHz, but some tracks from the aforementioned streaming services will be 24-bit/96kHz or even 24-bit/192kHz. To listen via a pair of wired headphones, you need to use Apple’s Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter which is limited to supporting 24-bit/48kHz. If you want to play hi-res music you are limited by the DACs inside Apple’s devices. ![]() |
