Photoshop

Photoshop is an amazing platform that gives photographers the ability to cut apart, piece together, adjust, fix, and manipulate photos. To illustrate, let's assume I just shot a portrait that looked great on set -- great smile, strong posture, balanced lighting. However, during processing I notice a few stray hairs strung across the face. Photoshop is great for fixing minor flaws like that. Here's another example of how the program is best used. When shooting photos of products, some clients want their images displayed against a pure white backdrop. To accomplish this, I would first shoot the product against a white backdrop. Unfortunately though, it's difficult to get a white background exposed to "pure white" without compromising the exposure of the subject. That's where Photoshop comes into play. In this case, a pure white background can be achieved using extractions -- essentially cutting the subject (product) out of the original photo and placing it against a false background. In fact, sometimes it's not even necessary to shoot against a white background. I know colleagues who shoot products and get great extraction results regardless of the background found in the original exposure. Those are just two examples of what Photoshop is commonly used for.

What Photoshop Is Not:

Let's be clear -- Photoshop is not a magician. While the algorithms used for some of Photoshop's tools have become amazingly sophisticated, they are not perfect. I'm not necessarily criticizing Photoshop's programmers. Obviously, they're geniuses. But as a photographer, I'm acutely aware Photoshop can't simply make something out of nothing -- the original image still has to be a quality photo. Photoshop has fantastic cloning capabilities, accurate healing brushes, color correction and plenty of other tools. But because of those tools I often hear things like, "You can just remove that. Just change it in Photoshop. You can just add that in later, right?" While a lot of replacements, additions and changes can be made with Photoshop, making those changes can become very complex and involved. There are so many variables that need to be taken into account, so it takes a lot of time and a lot of pixel pushing. Making drastic changes to images -- like removing objects and adding people -- requires a lot of time and skill in order to make sure the final photo still looks authentic.

Photoshop is an amazing tool, but it's not a wizard. While its capabilities extend far beyond the examples I've illustrated, keep in mind utilizing many of those capabilities is not as simple as you might think. It's still best to capture a great image and use Photoshop to make minor corrections.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Singe the rainy streets of Seattle with neon footprints, or sneak through a military compound as a legendary hero; it’s a colossal week for gaming, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes arrive on PlayStation.

For stealth and political intrigue, the next chapter in Hideo Kojima’s sweeping espionage action series, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, which serves as a prologue to the upcoming Phantom Pain, finds Big Boss infiltrating a military base in Cuba. With a redesigned interface, multiple missions, and a new open-world design, Ground Zeroes promises an unrivaled degree of freedom in the Metal Gear universe.

Even I watched my friend from behind playing this game make me fall in love with this chapter of this game, even know that the game finished fast in the normal difficulty.

Don't have enough time

You might not realize it, but you already have the only tool you need to change your entire life.

That tool isn’t money, or energy, or time. It isn’t access to the “right” people or making use of the “best practices” for anything. There’s no hacking involved.

Because the only tool you need to start changing your life is your language. Your words. More specifically, the words you use for the story you tell about yourself, to yourself – because that story creates your entire reality.

If you tell yourself you never have enough money, you’ll always feel like that – no matter how much you have. If you tell yourself that dating is horrible, dating will be horrible – for you. And – my favorite – if you keep going on and on about how “busy” you are and how that’s the reason why you can’t do the things you really want to do, like eat well and exercise and take care of yourself, then guess what? You just made that your reality.

I know this all might sound sort of silly. You might be thinking that changing one or two words won’t work for you. But if you feel that way, and if you’re already mentally dismissing what I’m saying, that means you’ve hit upon some pretty strong resistance – which actually means you have the most to gain from trying this approach.

Lemon Cheesecake Ice Cream

Look at this ice cream. It is decadent, velvety-smooth, and swirled with delicious bites of cracker pieces and tart lemon curd. The richness of the whipping cream and cream cheese is balanced by the lemon. It is, not to brag, probably the best tasting ice cream I have ever made.   As usual, no ice cream maker is required for this recipe, or my others here, here and here.
I had a spark of creativity; I really wanted something with lemon, but did not want to turn on the oven. So,  lemon ice cream.
This is just so pretty, I love it. It tastes good too, this was confirmed by a second source, my brother, who was skeptical of this flavor combination, but ended up eating two bowls once it was ready.

Not to mention, photographing ice cream is actually fun. It is easy to style and is a playful food to begin with; normally taking pictures is not something I like about food blogging. Ironic, no? Am I the only blogger out there that feels this way?

Malaysia weather is extremely hot, having this ice cream is like heavenly even after.

Clips

Clips are common found for the basic use, such as binder clip, crocodile clip(for car) & cloth clip. Which those could be easily purchase in supermarket with a reasonable price. But there's still got a lot of ideas to produce new clip with even more creativity still remain unknown. I gonna to introduce a clip.

Nipple clips. This is a device used to clip cow's teat, which also help to easily squeeze out milk. Of cause, this one is used for cow
while milk was produce. Many ppl often thinking "way too" straight forward. Why??? Those thought that this clips is used to clip on a nipple which produce milk(breast milk). Yes, is the same explaination as the nipple clips. But, all they think that this is use to clip on the girl's nipple where locate at their breast; of cause the bigger, the more it will produce (Sorry, i didn't mean to discriminate that most of u r flat).
Those clip that is also used to clip on the nipple are also known as "nipple clip", the only different is the clip which could be easily purchase. That is used torture ppl; like the SM maniac. Where the Saddist use to clip on a Masochism's nipples & forcefully put it out with an elastic strings [Pls, dun learn this]. Masochism suffer lots of pain as their nipple has been forcefully unplug.

Yes, there's a lots more creative ideas that can design for clips. But, dun design like what I say above. I'm hereby telling u: 'Dun Try This Anywhere & forget about it'.

Drill

Drills are practices in purpose to learn what to do during an emergency. Fire, earthquake and floods are the most common one we see for time to time. But there are so much new apocalypse recently (thanks to humans we called geniuses) why don't we have a drill for those new disasters.

Depression drills. People nowadays are living in stress and easily to catch the emo-flu. The schools or offices should consider a set of depression drills like a demonstration on how to stab yourself with a knife safety if you ever regret and or a jumping off building drills to show their patient on how should one jump off a building to ensure you dont end up coma or crippled in the end.

Zombies drills. Who knows when will this come but practices it beforehand is always better. Self defense techniques like wrapping yourself with magazines will prevent one from getting infected from bites and scratches. Always go for the brain to ensure the zombie's activity are null and to prevent new hordes from generating infinitely.

Drills are so important to ensure your safety and should be practice from time to time no matter where or what are you doing.

Nike-Just do it


"Just do it" what does it mean to you? Simple sentence? Part of phychological encouragement? If you buy NIKE shoes, do you just "buy" it?
What is so unique of this slogan?

It the encourage to do something you can do it, should do it, and want to do it, what are you waiting for? Many things in life that we excuse or misplace blame for are
not created by what we do but by what we fail to do. Maybe we just procrastinate and just don’t get around to action. Or maybe it’s just a thought, something that we
think would be nice to do, but we just aren't serious about it.
Example:For the person giving the advice, it seems like a simple-enough summary of what they would do if they were you.  But you're not them, and a summary isn't sufficient to
teach you how to do what they do, any more than saying "just pedal and keep your balance" will teach you how to ride a bike!

And thus, these bits of standard advice are pretty much useless, because the only people who can understand the words are the ones who already know what they mean.
And those people aren't the ones who really need to be told.  Meanwhile, for the rest of us, it's like trying to learn to ride a bike with someone standing next to you yelling,
"Just pedal and keep your balance!"

Unfortunately, the self-help literature is full of this sort of well-meaning but essentially useless advice.  As a result, studies tend to show that one kind of self-help works
pretty much as well as another.

Nothing unique about this slogan interpretation. Just do whatever u can...Come on, this is life, n this is what is mean to live.
JUST DO IT.



But, i'm not belong in that category. This is more like me: JUST DO IT.....TMR.
YOU MAD, BRO!!!!!


YES, BIEBER DO IT!!! NIKE RECOMMEND U TO DO IT.
