Photographs provide a more concrete way of recording recollections than sketching portraits in sand or dictating memoirs to an empty jam jar.

The Digital Darkroom course covers Photoshop and Lightroom techniques, such as creating stitched panoramic photos to sweeping effect. Check the online schedule for regular class dates and times.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Helping Plants Grow
Botanists know that plants need more than water, sunlight, and the occasional handfuls of dirt sprinkled on them to thrive. Here are sure-fire ways to help your floral friends flourish:
Read to Them: Plants respond positively to the vibrations of the human voice and are especially sensitive to inspirational poems, managerial advice tomes, and loud custody arguments.
Play Music for Them: The sound of a live violin concerto will cause a plant's roots to deepen, but the noise from any recorded music will cause the plant to burst into fire.
Embarrass Them: Place your shriveled shrubs in the shadow of a mighty redwood tree and make it clear which plant you prefer by playing a game of pickup basketball with the redwood.
Ignore Them: If you go a few weeks without watering your plants, they'll become so desperate for your approval that they'll start sprouting eye-catching rubies.
