Q: Photoshop.com's Express Editor is a streamlined, online version of Adobe's universally-known image manipulation software. It's got a paltry handful of options compared to the real thing, but that's still more options than most of its competitors can muster. Best of all, the site's interface is slick and practical at the same time. Photoshop.com has a range of sophisticated tools including dodge and burn tools, highlighting, and distortion and sketch effects, among many others.  The Express Editor's interface is somewhat different than that of Photoshop itself. Users familiar with one won't necessarily be able to jump right into the other. Photoshop.com provides each user 2 gigabytes of cloud storage space for photos. As professionals know, this isn't enough to handle many serious, high-quality images, but it's great for ordinary, run-of-the-mill ones. Image editing site Pixlr offers three separate, interconnected tools for playing with images. The most powerful, Pixlr Editor, allows resizing, cropping, rotation, and a number of useful effects and filters. Pixlr Express, the next step up in terms of ease and efficiency, offers a range of premade effects that can be applied with the click of a button. The easiest of the three interfaces, Pixlr-o-Matic, simply applies filter and frame effects, in much the same vein as Instagram. Switching from area to area is a bit awkward, so start with the most powerful tool you need first, and then mess with the less serious tools once you're done there. Fotor is a very streamlined image editing tool that provides filters and other basic touch-ups in a set, ordered series of steps. It's useless for spot-editing, but if you just want to quickly sharpen a photo without having to practice anything, it's quite handy. Fotor also provides some fun effects and frames you can try once you've cleaned up your picture. To finalize changes you've made, you'll need to click the “Apply” button at each step. Unfortunately, the button sometimes moves around, and can be a bit difficult to find. Be patient and look carefully to find where it's gone.
A: Enjoy (some of) the gold standard at Photoshop.com. Choose your weapon at Pixlr.com. Get basic touch-ups done quickly at Fotor.com.

Q: Football Squares is meant to be a party game, so it’s best played as part of a football party. Throw the party at your home and invite all of your players. If anyone can’t make it, you can contact them via text or phone if they win the game. The numbers written into each square are meant to represent the last digits of each team’s final score for each quarter. For instance, imagine you have the Green Bay Packers written at the top of the board and the Texas Longhorns on the side of the board. During the first quarter, the Packers score a 10, while the Longhorns score 15. The winner for that quarter would have a 0 on the top half of their square, representing the Packers’ score. They would also have a 5 on the bottom half of their square, representing the Longhorns’ score. Always look at the last digits of both scores to determine a winner. Look at the last number for each score (for instance, the ‘9’ in ‘19’) and choose a winner whose numbers match up with the outcome. Award them their money (or another prize of your choosing) and congratulate them! Repeat with the winner of each quarter until the end of the game. There are 5 common options for prize distribution.  Give the winners of each quarter 25% of the cash prize.  Award the winners for the first 3 quarters 10% of the money. The winner of the last quarter gets the remaining 70%.  The winner of the first quarter gets 10% of the money. Give the winners of the second and third quarters 20%. Whoever wins the final quarter gets the other 50% of the cash prize.  Award the first 3 winners 15% of the prize. The last winner receives 55%. Give the first winner 10%, the second 20%, the third 30%, and the last winner 40%.
A: Gather your players together to watch the football game. Calculate the winner of each quarter based on your grid numbers. Assign a winner at the end of each quarter based on each teams’ scores. Decide what percentage of the cash prize each winner will receive.

Q: While revenge may cross your mind and you may even begin to plot your plan, don’t go through with it. Revenge may be a way that people seek justice, yet the quest for justice may result in more injustice if the cycle of revenge continues. When you want revenge on someone, acknowledge your feelings as a way to cope with a loss of trust.  Don’t act on your impulses; wait until you are calm and in control of your body and emotions. It is likely that feelings of revenge will pass once you get out of the mindset.  If you choose to talk to the person you resent, watch your words. Don’t say anything you may regret in a moment of passion or to get revenge. It’s ultimately not worth it. Remember that no one person can meet all of your needs. If you believe that having a partner or a friend or being part of a family means that you will have all your needs met, think again. Having high expectations sets you up for failure.  Resentment can occur when expectations aren’t communicated clearly. A discussion on expectations and desires can help clarify current problems and avoid future problems. Have clear expectations with the people in your life. Compromise with the people in your life on what standards and expectations you each have for the relationship. When discussing your resentment with someone, don’t be quick to place all of the blame onto him. Instead, own your own feelings and experience. You cannot tell someone what his motivation was, or why he did something, because you simply cannot make that judgment call for someone else. Instead, focus on yourself, your hurt, and your experience. Instead of saying “You ruined the relationship and I’ll never forgive you!” try saying “I feel very hurt by what you did and it’s hard for me to move past this.” Sometimes it’s hard to admit that you yourself are flawed, have blind spots, and don’t always respond to situations in the most constructive way. This a reality for every person on planet Earth. Just as you want people to forgive your mistakes, extend the same courtesy to the people in your life. Remember that the person that hurt you is flawed, and sometimes functions from a place of limiting beliefs or skewed perception. Accepting that people make mistakes doesn’t mean excusing their behavior. It means you allow yourself to see the context surrounding the person and the experience to help you understand better. Allow the people in your life to be positive people who support you and allow you to make your own decisions. These are people who allow you to make mistakes and still support you. Have friends that are honest with you, that will give you a fresh perspective when you are stuck, or that will tell you when you are over-reacting. Good friends will accept you regardless of the mistakes you make, and being a good friend means accepting others even when they make mistakes. You may feel betrayed or absolutely justified in your resentment toward someone, making forgiveness nearly impossible. However, forgiveness doesn’t mean pretending the situation didn’t happen or that you have to excuse the person’s behavior. Forgiveness means you let go of the pain the person caused you.  Ask yourself what the person or situation triggered that deeply hurt you. Did you experience feeling abandoned, traumatized, or re-experience unpleasant memories from the past? It’s likely the person uncovered a deeper hurt inside you.  You don’t even have to verbally forgive someone. You can forgive someone who is no longer in your life or who has passed on. One way to practice forgiveness is by writing the situation and then writing about why you are choosing to forgive. Have a small (safe) fire and burn the paper.
A:
Avoid revenge. Have realistic expectations of others. Use “I” statements in discussions. Allow people to make mistakes. Surround yourself with positive people. Forgive.
