Every year I get my students to do something that they normally don’t do. For example one student wore two different shoes. One was blue and the other one was white and she wore them like that for the entire day.

She said to me that Chris, when I went out for the day, I was really self conscience about myself. My senses were heightened. I was noticing everything, I was noticing everyone’s observation of me. She said: “You know what? No one even paid attention.” She said: I think the whole thing was more important to me then anyone else. She said it made me realize I want to take more chances. I want to do more. I loved how it heightened my awareness and observed things I wouldn’t have even noticed.

I think everyone should take a queue from Chris and his student. Do things different every day. Bring an energy to what you do and try to notice what is going on around you. You just might find something special you would have never noticed had you not “taken the chance”.

*BOTH the admin AND the user MUST allow the address book to be excluded from content protection. Otherwise the address book contents ARE CONTENT PROTECTED.

To allow the contacts to be excluded you must either have “False” selected.

Next on the Blackberry hand held you must follow these steps:

Options -> Security -> General Settings -> Include Address Book –> set to "No"

I plan on writing an article later why you might want to do this but since you are here you most likely already know why one would want to to create a mask from a color channel.

Quick Answer:

You can hold down the CTRL and clicking on the Color Channel. Go back to the Image and make a mask from the selection.

In depth tutorial

Anyways let’s get down to it:

1. Open Photoshop and the photo you want work on.
2. You want to make sure layers is visible. If you don’t see it in the sidebar hit “F7”.
3. Make sure you only have one layer.
4. Make a copy of that layer by hitting “ctrl+J”.
5. In the layer you just made click the channels tab. Currently you should be on the layers tab.
6. You will most likely see 4 channels. RGB, Red, Green and Blue. Each Channel can be selected by the displayed shortcut. For example red is: “Ctrl+3”
7. You will notice the picture turn to grey scale.
8. Holding down the “Ctrl” key click on the Red Channel. This will make a selection of ONLY the red channel.
9. You will need to go back to the Layers Tab from the current Channel tab. Click it now.
10. At the bottom of the layers box there are a few different Icons. There is a “link” then “FX” and then a “Circle in a box” icon. This is the “add layer mask” button. Click it.
11. You picture will no longer be grey. You should now have a mask that looked identical to the grey scale image.

After a few google searches I was told that my original hunch was correct about the filters menu. A few more searches revealed that someone could not get their plug-ins working under the 64bit version of Photoshop. Was I running the 64bit version?

I made sure Photoshop was closed and I went to the START menu and found the Photoshop App (32bit). I ran the program and went to filter menu. Sure enough the plug-ins were there.

Note – The reason why I said make sure that “Photoshop” was closed was If you had Photoshop 64bit open and clicked on the 32bit version, it would just bring the existing 64Bit Photoshop window to the foreground.

So if you find that some of your filters are not showing up in Photoshop make sure you are running the 32bit version before getting worried.

I play on a server and they changed the cart into a horse. The horse would even get up on it’s hind legs if it was excited. I thought it was really cool but I have to say someone has too much time on their hands.

AI First Reactions

So far I must admit I have been really impressed with some of the changes in game play. The AI in SC2 is incredible. If you think you will win against the computer on EASY you are mistaken. There is no more of the defend the ”First rush”, tech up and kill the computer.

Star Craft 2 Units

While a lot of our favorites are back there are a quite a few that are no longer with us. Most units that have been removed have been recycled, given new names or new abilities. It will be interesting to see if during the single player campaign if there will be any mention of the changes. Blizard if you are reading this I REALLY hope you will explain the changes! Some of the units that are no longer with us are:

Terran

• Medic
• Fire Bats
• Drop Ship

Protoss

• Shuttle
• Dragoons
• Reaver
• Corsair

Zerg

• Lurker
• Wraiths
• Science Vessel
• Goliath
• Vulture

NOTE – As I find more units that are missing I will post them here. Also note because this is a BETA units are constantly getting added and removed.

New Game play Dynamics

There are several new things to worry about in SC2. There is explosion damage that can now slow down units. There are also some units that can now jump or teleport to small ledges. A third thing I have found is there is also destructable wall or rocks. These destructable items are typically located at the back of your base. You might have noticed that things like shuttles and “hidden” units like lurkers have been removed. This will definately make changes to the game play.
