![]() ![]() Per Total QBR, four of the top eight returning quarterbacks in college football play in the Pac-12. Everything you need to know about the Big 12, part 2 » In the meantime, we break down the seven teams in the conference's geographic heart. With Oklahoma and Texas on the way out, this could be the new normal: two teams using the kiss of the close-games god to prevail over loads of similarly talented (and monied) teams, then putting on a classic at Jerry World in Arlington, Texas. In the last two Big 12 championship games, four different teams have taken part in two absolute classics - Baylor's 21-16, by-a-millimeter win over Oklahoma State in 2021 and Kansas State's overtime victory over TCU last December. ![]() Everything you need to know about the Big 12, part 1 » Here's some free marketing advice for the Big 12: Nickname it The Fun Conference, the one most likely to produce nonstop close games, go for it nonstop on fourth downs and make big, bold realignment moves. This fall, as it welcomes its four Oklahoma and Texas replacements while not yet losing the Sooners and Longhorns, the Big 12 should again be one of the most enjoyable conferences around. Here's our look at the seven teams that aren't in Oklahoma or Texas. Everything you need to know about the Big Ten West » In this year's SP+ projections, four of the nation's top defenses live in the West. The rest of the world could try to keep up with the offense-friendly times the Big Ten West, however, has continued to live the defense-and-power-football life. But no division has had such a reliable identity. As a competitive entity, it certainly wasn't great. I have to admit, I'm going to miss the Big Ten West. Can Ohio State turn the tables on Michigan after two straight losses? Can Penn State close the gap on the Big Two? Can anyone else close the gap on them? Everything you need to know about the Big Ten East » It feels historically appropriate, then, that in the final East division race, Michigan and Ohio State start out far ahead of the pack and Penn State starts third, quite a few points behind the Big Two and way ahead of everyone else. Last season, Penn State lost to Ohio State and Michigan - both of which ended up in the CFP - by an average score of 43-24 and beat 11 other opponents by an average of 38-14. Is there such a thing as too much change for Nick Saban at Alabama? Can an even deeper LSU team defend its title? How many quarterbacks does Lane Kiffin need? How the heck is this Bobby Petrino experiment going to work out in College Station? Everything you need to know about the SEC West » In its final year, the West division brings us plenty of questions. All seven are projected in the top 30 to start 2023. Over the past 20 years, three of the SEC West's teams have combined to win 10 national titles and has had almost no actual bad teams - in the past 10 years, only four of its teams have finished outside of the SP+ top 60. Can Tennessee or anyone else defy the odds and threaten the two-time defending national champion? And which teams might stand out among the division's customarily large middle class? Everything you need to know about the SEC East » Thirty-two years after it pioneered the divisional structure, the SEC will be adopting the trend of ditching its divisions when it adds Oklahoma and Texas in 2024. The SEC East will go out with what feels like a familiar storyline: The lead Dawg - Georgia - is a heavy favorite. From projections and burning questions for every team to his favorite players and anniversaries of note, Connelly gives his unique perspective on the season ahead, from A (as in Aggies) to Z (as in Zips). ![]() How will things shake out in the new-look Big 12? Can Ohio State unseat Michigan or will Penn State emerge in the Big Ten? Will USC (or UCLA) leave the Pac-12 with a championship trophy? And can Florida State live up to the hype and get the ACC back to the College Football Playoff?Ĭollege football's storylines don't stop there, but luckily ESPN's Bill Connelly has them all covered - and by all, we mean all 133 FBS teams - in his in-depth previews of every conference, which are available to ESPN+ subscribers.

![]() Primes for full frame cameras are lighter than any zoom. (I *was* left wondering about where the vaunted Leica sharpness was - that lens was marketed under license from Taylor and Hobson before Leica released their first Summilux.)įor documentary work in an age before zooms, a 50mm worked well. For documenting my young life on Tri-X, it worked very well. In fact, I don't even own a 50mm lens anymore.īack in 1969, a 50mm f/1.5 Summarit was the only lens I used on an inherited Leica M3. Such a lens is functional at best: good for low-light situations where I need a wide aperture maybe, but even then, I will probably reach for that aforementioned 28-70mm f/2. I do not find it inspiring or fun to work with, and it is a constant struggle to find a way to be creative with such a lens for me. It would be disingenuous to not mention the other reason I don't like the 50mm focal length: I am simply not good at creating compelling images with it. ![]() Even more modest 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses of the world have taken huge strides forward, and the high-ISO capabilities of modern cameras mean that those f/1.4 apertures are not as necessary as they used to be. Its image quality easily keeps pace with all but the best primes, its f/2 aperture is more than enough for 99% of situations, and its convenience makes it way more appealing to me than carrying three or four equivalent primes. However, when you consider the fact that I no longer own any other lenses between 14mm and 85mm, its value becomes clear. In particular, I am thinking of my Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 L USM. However, modern zoom lenses continue to push the bounds of image quality and wide apertures, and that advantage held by primes has largely evaporated, at least in some cases. Taking that further: the paradigm used to be that many photographers would carry zooms for versatility and convenience and primes for wide apertures and image quality. He looks cute at all focal lengths, though. No longer is the 50mm the most prominent "cheap but good" option you can find something that fits your budget almost anywhere in the range. ![]() Lens design has advanced by leaps and bounds even in just the last decade, and there are now fantastic options at just about every focal length and price point. That is partially why, for a long time, the "nifty fifty" was so desirable, as one could get a lens with a wide aperture that produced decent images for around $100-200. I'm greatly overgeneralizing lens design, but in the simplest terms, the more extreme the focal length, the harder it is to design a lens that produces high-quality images, and the more expensive it will be. Modern Zoom Lenses or Other Primes Are Often a Better Choiceĥ0mm lenses were once considered a mainstay in almost every photographer's kit. A bad photo is a bad photo whether it is shot at 10mm, 50mm, or 400mm. Of course, you might argue that it is on the photographer to find other ways to be creative, but to that, I say: why not give yourself a leg up to start? Nor is this to say you can just slap on a more unusual focal length and use that as a crutch no matter what you use, all the fundamentals of a good photograph - composition, posing, lighting, editing, etc. ![]() Sometimes you just want to bask in its political incorrectness and laugh yourself silly.Īt first I was bored with the weapons-katana, shurikens, fists, yawn-but after weilding twin Uzis to the sound of "Be proud, mister Woo", a four-barrel shotgun hearing "I like big guns!", and a rail gun proclaiming "Time to get Erased!", I started to take notice. The "Lo Wang Speak", while some might find extremely stereotypical and offensive, is just great. Also, mirrored floors, movable sectors, transparent water and sprites, colored lighting, and other tricks have been encorporated into Shadow Warrior to good effect. The Build engine, being a raycaster, has several tricks built into it that have you occaisionally scratching your head and asking yourself, "How did they do that with a raycaster?" Sections of the floor and wall can move, objects can be moved, and even some sprites can be represented as 3-D using the raycasting technique as a crude voxel engine. I was very surprised to find that it is just as fun as Duke Nukem 3D and completely stands on its own as a really fun game to play. I was also skeptical of how it would look and play, given that it was based on 4-year-old engine technology (the Build engine). I'll be honest: When I first picked this up, I expected it to be a lame knockoff of Duke Nukem 3D.

Moreover, if you want to use templates in OpenOffice, you’ll first need to search through the online collection stored on the OpenOffice website and then download the templates you want. Features and capabilities screenshotīoth LibreOffice and OpenOffice have six different kinds of documents you can create: A text document, a spreadsheet, a presentation, a drawing, a formula, or a database.īoth office suites offer document templates, but LibreOffice provides more built-in, ready-to-use templates than OpenOffice. It really does come down to just deciding if you want to use something that looks like a Microsoft product or a suite that looks like a Google product. Both feature interfaces that are simple, familiar, and easy to use. To access this sidebar in LibreOffice, select View and then choose Sidebar from the menu that pops up. LibreOffice also has a Sidebar Deck, but it’s not opened by default like it is in OpenOffice. It’s filled with many of the same tools and options you can find at the top of your screen, but in a handy menu that’s easier to get to and features easier-to-see buttons and icons. In addition, OpenOffice offers what it calls a Sidebar Deck, which is a series of sidebar menus that appear on the right side of your screen. But it does resemble Google Docs, so if you prefer the minimalist look of Google Docs and its straightforward menus, OpenOffice might be the best choice for you. In contrast, OpenOffice is a bit drab and gray-looking and has smaller menu icons that line the top of its windows. The large icons also make scanning the menu ribbon to find what you need even easier. The ribbon icons are rather large, and the overall look is brighter and much more colorful. LibreOffice looks very much like a Microsoft Office app, down to the menu ribbon of buttons and options that line the top of your screen. That said, your personal preference for either one may come down to one factor: Are you a Google Docs person or a Microsoft Office person? Neither LibreOffice nor OpenOffice have interfaces that are too unfamiliar or difficult to use. User interface and ease of use screenshot However, be careful when downloading or using these unofficial ports and distributions. One notable port is AndrOpen Office, which is the Android port of OpenOffice. ![]() ![]() The OpenOffice website provides links to additional third-party ports and distributions that are not endorsed or maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. OpenOffice, however, has a slight edge over LibreOffice. Both are comparable alternatives to Microsoft’s premium Office suite but without the associated cost.įor platform availability, both are available on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. LibreOffice and OpenOffice are both free to download and use. Let’s get the pricing info out of the way first. Platform availability and price screenshot ![]() Technically, the latest released version of LibreOffice is 7.0.3, but this version hasn’t been tested as long as version 6.4.7 has and is generally for early adopters. Note: The following comparisons are based on the latest versions of LibreOffice and OpenOffice: LibreOffice 6.4.7 and OpenOffice 4.1.8. ![]() That said it does have those features that Affinity Designer lacks, so it will be worth the money for some users. The downside is that at $95, VectorStyler is twice as expensive as Affinity Designer, which tops our list of the best Illustrator alternatives, and there's no iPad app or wider ecosystem of other software. We've found the interface to be easy and intuitive, and there are plenty of interesting filters and tools. ![]() This Illustrator alternative can handle Illustrator files, and you can also import AI brush collections. Its big sell is its wide range of scalable vector brushes and the inclusion of tools that some users might miss in other alternatives to Illustrator, such as a shape builder, a blend tool and a pattern tool. It used to be available for Mac only but there's now a Windows version too. VectorStyler is a relatively new Illustrator alternative that seems to be expanding its offering. More expensive than competing options with a one-off payment If you’ve never used it, you might want to take advantage of the free trial to see how it feels in practice. It does work out a little cheaper than Illustrator but really the main reason to choose CorelDRAW over Illustrator would be if you prefer the interface and workflow. It can easily import Adobe AI and PSD files, so there are no problems with compatibility, and CorelDRAW now has a browser-based app and iPad app too, making it easier to use the program on the go. It adds in new features including dynamic asset management and a faster adjustments docker for photo editing. There's also CorelDRAW standard, which is aimed at enthusiasts rather than professionals. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2021 is available for a one-off payment while the new 2022 version requires a subscription. From Affinity to Procreate: The best Photoshop alternatives for Mac, Windows and more. Because the interfaces and approaches are quite different, fans of each tool will argue, with equal vehemence, that theirs is the easiest to use, but there’s no real objective way of settling this.ĬorelDRAW isn't exactly a cheap Illustrator alternative, but it is more flexible in terms of how you can pay because you can get the software in several ways. Both are packed with features and both have their passionate advocates. In fact, it's hard to say whether CorelDRAW or Illustrator is the 'better' tool. First launched in 1989, CorelDRAW is an Illustrator alternative that has a big following among artists and illustrators.
