Agnes Gray by Anne Bronte
01. I can conceive few situations more harassing than that wherein, however you may long for success, however you may labour to fulfil your duty, your efforts are baffled and set at naught by those beneath you, and unjustly censured and misjudged by those above.
'Albert Nobbs' by George Moore
001. …for the feeling cannot help coming over us, perhaps over the biggest as over the smallest, that all our trouble is for nothing and can end in nothing.
002. Albert was inclined to believe that Hubert told his wife before [the marriage] — She
003. Albert became suddenly conscious that a change had come into her life: the show was the same–carrying plates and dishes upstairs and downstairs, and taking orders for drinks and cigars; but behind the show a new life was springing up–a life strangely personal and associated with the life without only in this much, that the life without was now a vassal state paying tribute to the life within.
004. A changing figure with wife was in Albert's imagination, turning from fair to dark, from plump to slender, but capturing her imagination equally in all her changes; …
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
001. 'Come, there's no use in crying like that!' said Alice to herself rather sharply. 'I advise you to leave off this minute!' She generally gave herself very good advice (though she very seldom followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes…
002. 'If everybody minded their own business,' the Duchess said, in a hoarse growl, 'the world would go round a great deal faster than it does.'
003. 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
'I don't much care where–' said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
'–so long as I get somewhere ,' added Alice as an explanation.
'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if only you walk long enough.'
004. [The Duchess] 'Be what you would seem to be'
'The Altar of the Dead' by Henry James
001. He had perhaps not had more losses than most men, but he had counted his losses more; he hadn't seen death more closely, but had in a manner felt it more deeply.
002. He had wondered of old, in some embarrassment, whether he had a religion; being very sure, and not a little content, that he hadn't at all events the religion some of the people he had known wanted him to have. Gradually this question was straightened out for him: it became clear to him that the religion instilled by his earliest consciousness had been simply the religion of the Dead. … It answered his love of great offices, of a solemn and splendid ritual; for no shrine could be more bedecked and no ceremonial more stately than these to which his worship was attached.
003. He thought for a long time of how the closed eyes of dead women could still live—how they could open again, in a quiet lamplit room, long after they had looked their last. They had looks that survived—had them as great poets quoted lines. [Wordsworth poem]
004. To-day it all seemed to have occurred merely to the end that George Stransom should think of his as 'Hague' and measure exactly how much he himself could resemble a stone. He went cold, suddenly and horribly cold, to bed.
005. Even a loaded life might be easier when one had added a new necessity to it.
006. To the treatment of time the malady of life begins at a given moment to succumb; and these were doubtless the hours at which that truth most came home to him.
007. There were hours at which he almost caught himself wishing that certain of his friends would now die, that he might establish with them in this manner a connexion more charming than, as it happened, it was possible to enjoy with them in life. In regard to those from whom one was separated by the long curves of the globe such a connexion could only be an improvement: it brought them instantly within reach.
008. She had no colour, no sound, no fault…
009. The next morning in the midst of his work he quite suddenly and irrelevantly reflected that his impression of her, beginning so far back, was like a winding river that has at last reached the sea.
010. For long years he never knew her name, any more than she had ever pronounced his own; but it was not their names that mattered, it was only perfect practice and their common need.
011. They never knew—at least Stransom never knew—how they had learned to be sure about each other.
012. …shabby little houses, semi-detached but indissolubly united, were like married couples on bad terms.
013. A woman, when wronged, was always more wronged than a man, and there were conditions when the least she could have got off with was more than the most he could have to hear.
014. The fellow had only had to die for everything that was ugly in him to be washed out in a torrent.
015. When but jealousy could give a man that sore contentious wish for the detail of what would make him suffer?
016. This was no dim theological rescue, no boon of a contingent world; they were saved better than faith or works could save them, saved for the warm world they had shrunk from dying to, for actuality, for continuity, for the certainty of human remembrance.
Alva and Irva by Edward Carey
01. Perhaps this abandoned child and this half-orphan were instinctively drawn together for a profound yearning for absent people. Perhaps each immediately felt the want that surrounded the other, and instantly closed ranks in desperation for a whole.
Anthem by Ayn Rand
001. It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own. And we know well that there is no transgression blacker than to do or think alone.
002. It is dark here. The flame of the candle stands still in the air. Nothing moves in this tunnel save our [-hand-] {+hands+} on the paper. We are alone here under the earth. It is a fearful word, alone. The laws say that none among men may be alone, ever and at any time, for this is the great transgression and the root of all evil.
003. But we have broken many laws. And now there is nothing here save our one body, and it is strange to see only two legs stretched on the ground, and on the wall before us the shadow of our one head. The walls are cracked and water runs upon them in thin threads without sound, black and glistening as blood. We stole the candle from the larder of the Home of the Street Sweepers. We shall be sentenced to ten years in the Palace of Corrective Detention if it be discovered. But this matters not. It matters only that the light is precious and we should not waste it to write when we need it for that work which is our crime. Nothing matters save the work, our secret, our evil, our precious work. Still, we must also write, for–may the [-council-] {+Council+} have mercy upon us!–we wish to speak for once to no ears but our own.
004. we cannot change our bones nor our body. We were born with a curse. It has always driven us to thoughts which are forbidden. It has always given us wishes which men may not wish. We know that we are evil, but there is no will in us and no power to resist it. This is our wonder and our secret fear, that we know and do not resist.
005. We, Equality 7-2521, were not happy in those years in the Home of the Students. It was not that the learning was too hard for us. It was that the learning was too easy. This is a great sin, to be born with a head which is too quick. It is not good to be different from our brothers, but it is evil to be superior to them. The Teachers told us so, and they frowned when they looked upon us.
006. We think that there are mysteries in the [-sky,-] {+sky+} and [-under-] the water and in the plants which grow. But the Council of Scholars has said that there are no mysteries, and the Council of Scholars knows all things. And we learned much from our Teachers. We learned that the earth is flat and that the sun revolves around it, which causes the day and [-the-] night. We learned the names of all the winds which blow over the seas and push the sails of our great ships. We learned how to bleed men to cure them of all ailments.
007. International 4-8818 and we are friends. This is an evil thing to say, for it is a {+great+} transgression, the great Transgression of Preference, to love any among men better than the others, since we must love all men and all men are our friends. So International 4-8818 and we have never spoken of it. But we know. We know, when we look into each other's eyes. And when we look thus without [-words,-] {+works,+} we both know other things also, strange things for which there are no words, and these things frighten us.
008. Rather shall we be evil with you than good with all our brothers.
009. We have learned things which are not in the scripts. We have solved {+the+} secrets of which the Scholars have no knowledge. We have come to see how great is the unexplored, and many lifetimes will not bring us to the end of our quest. [-But we wish no end to our quest.-] We wish nothing, save to be alone and to learn, and to feel as if with each day our sight were growing sharper than the hawk's and clearer than rock crystal. Strange are the ways of evil.
010. And yet there is no shame in us and no regret. We say to ourselves that we are a wretch and a traitor. But we feel no burden upon our spirit and no fear in our heart. And it seems to us that our spirit is clear as a lake troubled by no eyes save those of the sun. And in our [-heart– strange-] {+heart–strange+} are the ways of [-evil!–in-] {+evil!– in+} our heart there is the first peace we have known in twenty years.
011. And there [-is-] {+it+} was that we saw Liberty 5-3000 walking along the furrows. Their body was straight and thin as a blade of iron. Their eyes were dark and hard and glowing, with no fear in them, no kindness and no guilt.
012. We do not know why we think of them. We [-do-] {+don+} not know why, when we think of them, we feel [-all-] of a sudden that the earth is good and that it is not a burden to live.
013. It is forbidden, not to be happy. For, as it has been explained to us, men are free and the earth belongs to them; and all things on earth belong to all men; and the will of all men together is good for all; and so all men must be happy.
014. And as we all undress at night, in the dim light of [-the-] candles, our brothers are silent, for they dare not speak the thoughts of their minds. For all must agree with all, and they cannot know if their thoughts are the thoughts of all, and so they fear to speak.
015. So much is still to be learned! So long a road lies before us, and what care we if we must travel it alone!
016. "What is not thought by all men cannot be true," said Collective 0-0009.
017. If that which we have found is the corruption of solitude, then what can men wish for save corruption? If this is the great evil of being alone, then what is good and what is evil?
018. Everything which comes from the many is good. Everything which comes from one is evil.
019. Neither am I the means to any end others may wish to accomplish. I am not a tool for their use. I am not a servant of their needs. I am not a bandage for their wounds. I am not a sacrifice on their altars.
020. I owe nothing to my brothers, nor do I gather debts from them. I ask none to live for me, nor do I live for any others. I covet no man's soul, nor is my soul theirs to covet.
021. I am neither foe nor friend to my brothers, but such as each of them shall deserve of me. And to earn my love, my brothers must do more than to have been born. I do not grant my love without reason, nor to any chance passer-by who may wish to claim it. I honor men with my love. But honor is a thing to be earned.
022. I shall choose friends among men, but neither slaves nor masters. And I shall choose only such as please me, and them I shall love and respect, but neither command nor obey. And we shall join our hands when we wish, or walk alone when we so desire. For in the temple of his spirit, each man is alone. Let each man keep his temple untouched and undefiled. Then let him join hands with others if he wishes, but only beyond his holy threshold.
023. For the word "We" must never be spoken, save by one's choice and as a second thought. This word must never be placed first within man's soul, else it becomes a monster, the root of all the evils on earth, the root of man's torture by men, and [-of-] an unspeakable lie. The word "We" is as lime poured over men, which sets and hardens to stone, and crushes all beneath it, and that which is white and that which is black are lost equally in the grey of it. It is the word by which the depraved steal the virtue of the good, by which the weak steal the might of the strong, by which the fools steal the wisdom of the sages.
024. This god, this one word: "I."
025. I understood why the best in me had been my sins and my transgressions; and why I had never felt guilt in my sins. I understood that centuries of chains and lashes will not kill the spirit of man nor the sense of truth within him.
026. He took the light of the gods and [-he-] brought it to men, and he taught men to be gods. And he suffered for his deed as all bearers of light must suffer. His name was Prometheus."
027. I shall rebuild the achievements of the past, and open the way to carry them further, the achievements which are open to me, but closed forever to my brothers, for their minds are shackled to the weakest and dullest [-ones-] among them.
028. There is nothing to take a man's freedom away from him, save other men. To be free, a man must be free of his brothers.
029. At first, man was enslaved by the gods. But he broke their chains. [-The-] {+Then+} he was enslaved by the kings. But he broke their chains. He was enslaved by his birth, by his kin, by his race. But he broke their chains.
030. my home will become the capital of a world where each man will be free to exist for his own sake.
Atonement by Ian McEwan
01. …was everyone else really as alive as she was? … did her sister really matter to herself, was she as valuable to herself as Briony was? Was being Cecilia just as vivid an affair as being Briony? … Did everybody? If the answer was yes, then the world was unbearably complicated with two billion voices and everyone thinking they were unique when no one was. One could drown in irrelevance. But if the answer was no, then Briony was surrounded by machines, intelligent and pleasant enough on the outside, but lacking the bright and private inside feeling she had. This was sinister and lovely, as well as unlikely. For, though it offended her sense of order, she knew it was overwhelmingly probably that everyone else had thoughts like hers. She knows this, but only in a rather arid way; she didn't really feel it.
'The Autocrat at the Breakfast Table' by Oliver Wendell Holmes
01. [Punsters] are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks…their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.

Records: U-M (30-7), Florida (29-8)
Next U-M Event: Saturday, April 6 -- vs. Syracuse - NCAA Tournament Final Four (Atlanta, Georgia), 8:49 p.m. (TV: CBS)
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The fourth-seeded University of Michigan men's basketball team (No. 10 AP, No. 11 ESPN/USA Today) advanced to the NCAA Tournament Final Four for the first time in 20 years (1992-93 season) with a 79-59 triumph over third-seeded Florida (No. 14 AP, No. 12 ESPN/USA Today) on Sunday (Mar. 31) inside Cowboys Stadium. Freshman guard Nik Stauskas (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada/St. Mark's School [Mass.]) scored 19 first-half points, including five three-pointers, helping the Wolverines to leads of 13-0 and 23-5 early in the opening half.
Nik Stauskas
In addition to Stauskas' game-high 22 points and career-high six triples, sophomore guard Trey Burke (Columbus, Ohio/Northland HS) finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, while freshman forward Mitch McGary (Chesteron, Ind./Brewster Academy [N.H.]) added 11 points and nine rebounds.
U-M shot 30-of-65 (46 percent) from the floor in the game, including 10-of-19 (53 percent) from behind the arc while holding Florida to just 23-of-56 (41 percent) from the field and 2-of-10 (20 percent) from three-point range. The Wolverine defense forced 15 Gator turnovers, including 13 steals, off which it converted 16 points. Michigan also led Florida 21-4 in fastbreak points.
The Wolverines scored the game's first 13 points, on four McGary baskets and a Stauskas triple, until the Gators converted one at the 16:28 mark. Burke then knocked down a three-pointer to maintain U-M's 78-percent shooting mark (7-of-9), and Stauskas followed with a triple to extend the advantage to 18 points (23-5).
Florida cut its deficit down to 14 points over the next three minutes; but after Burke got his own offensive rebound and finished at the rim with a layup, McGary grabbed a steal, and Stauskas drained his third triple on the other end to put Michigan back up 19 (30-11). Then, Stauskas hit two more from downtown, consecutively, to go 5-for-5 from three-point range and give U-M the 41-17 edge (24 points).
Tim Hardaway Jr.
An 11-2 run by the Gators over the next three minutes got them within 15 points, but Burke quickly stole the ball and converted a fastbreak layup. Stauskas made 2-for-3 from the free throw line after getting fouled behind the arc with less than a second on the clock, and Michigan entered the locker room up, 47-30.
U-M went scoreless for the first four minutes out of the break, while the Gators scored six straight to get within 11 points, until senior/junior forward Jordan Morgan (Detroit, Mich./University of Detroit Jesuit) passed the ball out to Stuaskas in the corner for his sixth three-point field goal. After freshman guard Spike Albrecht (Crown Point, Ind./Northfield Mount Hermon Prep [Mass.]) stole the ball on the in-bound pass and laid one in, Stauskas handed it off to junior guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (Miami, Fla./Palmetto Senior) under the basket for a fastbreak layup on Michigan's next possession to cap an 11-2 run at the 14:38 mark.
The exclamtion point came when Burke found freshman guard Glenn Robinson III (St. John, Ind./Lake Central) at the rim for a thunderous, one-handed alley-oop, before Albrecht converted a fastbreak layup and three-pointer on back-to-back possessions to put the Maize and Blue ahead, 74-53, with 4:21 to play.
The Wolverines will face No. 4 seed Syracuse, a 55-39 winner over Marquette, on Saturday (April 6) for a spot in the national championship game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Tipoff time is 8:49 p.m., and the game will be televised on CBS.
U-M's allotment of NCAA Final Four tickets will only be available to season-ticket holders, who will receive an email Sunday night or Monday morning. All other fans should look to purchase tickets from NCAA.com.

Many computers are home to thousands of MP3 and other music files, and while folders can be used to help keep things organised, it can still be hard to track down the specific song you are looking for. Tags can be used to assign various labels to files and these can be used to perform search using a variety of criteria - but this only works if the tags are correctly configured.
The GodFather is an audio management system that can be used to create and edit the tags that have been associated with audio files. MP3 tags, Ogg comments and MP4 tags are all supported, and to save you from having to manually enter track details, online databases can be used to pull in the information.
Tags can also be created automatically based on file location and folder names, so if you already have an organisational system of your own in place, The GodFather can complement it. In addition to standard tags, you can also store additional information such as artist biographies, song lyrics and album artwork.
Managing all of this can be a challenge. There are lots of features, and all the talk of variables, filters and scripting can be intimidating for the novice user.Still, if you're interesting in this type of application then it's worth persevering, as there are few more powerful music renaming and organisational tools around.
What's new in 0.88?
- All fields are now available at the Edit grid, Templates & Quick view
- Online, many new fields added in the extra fields grid and are also grabbed from online sources.
- Work Flow introduced
- Sentence case
- Scrip aware variables
- Range variables
- Case variables
- Script engine improvements
- Masks use # instead of % now
- Speed improvements handling very large XML results from Musicbrainz
A powerful, if somewhat complex, music organisation tool that can make sense of your music library.

Re: automatic numbering and referencing
Hi Don,
For references, you should use cell tags as follows. Select the cell
which you want to reference. Then select from the menu
Find | Add/Remove Cell Tags
which brings up the Cell Tag dialog box. Give the cell a useful name and
close the dialog box. Next, when you want to reference the cell, select
from the menu
Input | Create Automatic Numbering Object
which brings up the Create CounterBox dialog. Select the appropriate
counter type, and pick the appropriate cell tag (you will also have to
select the option "The first cell with the tag:").
A very nice tutorial on this subject by P.J. Hinton can be found at the
web site

Higher Education Webinars
A professor of English describes American university life.
January 3, 2008 - 12:50pm
As UD prepares to go to Nashville to blog the annual meeting of the NCAA for Inside Higher Ed (her posts from there will all be here, at her IHE University Diaries blog), she studies every worthwhile source she can find on the phenomenon of college football. She wants to understand. She wants to know as intimately as she can the history and significance of this overwhelming feature of American culture and American universities.

I'm in Poland, in freezing Krakow, a city marvelous enough to overcome even shitty weather. The old town's full of twisty streets and aromatic cafes, and UD's happy. Though cold.

"I go back to professional baseball and Alex Rodriguez making $25 million a year. Or to Julia Roberts and $20 million for one movie. Are those people worth it? Of course not. But if that's what the marketplace is and enough people are willing to watch Alex play or Julia Roberts in a movie, they have a right to get that."

Professor Thomas Doherty of Brandeis University will be in UD's Thanksgiving prayers today. Most Americans can't stand professors -- they've got their reasons -- but Doherty is why they should reconsider.

The spate of fake hate crimes at America's universities makes going after these people and punishing them crucial. Truly malicious sorts, observing the big-time response of schools and media to nasty symbols and speech, are increasingly staging their own victimization.

Norman Mailer's death has brought out the bow ties, the tightly-wound and the closely-cropped, for whom the only noteworthy thing about Norm was that he was abnorm.
November 6, 2007 - 4:58am
When, in 2004, UD started blogging at her flagship campus, University Diaries I, she was amazed at the story of Kerri Dunn, a visiting psychology professor at Claremont McKenna College who earned her own Wikipedia page, a year in prison, and a $20,000 fine for covering her car with gruesome symbols, including a swastika, and then claiming to have been the victim of a hate crime.

Hi gang!
Been pretty busy over here in Korea lately, but I have to make time for some Fett every once in a while. :D
A little while back, I picked up one of SkyGunBro's extremely cool McQuarrie concept Fett helmets. It's a very nice resin kit of a version of Boba Fett not many folks (outside us crazy fans) are familiar with.
I'm a big fan of Ralph McQuarrie's designs. He is an iconic artist and really helped to shape how Star Wars looked. SGB did a terrific job translating the design into 3 dimensions, and this helmet will make a very cool addition to my ever-growing Fett collection. :thumbsup
I don't have any progress pics on this one, just the helmet as it stands right now. Although there's only one drawing of this helmet (that I'm aware of), I wanted to paint it up as it might have appeared in the Star Wars universe, and that of course means. . . weathered!
Here's the helmet after my weathering frenzy this evening.
I started out by trimming out the visor section, giving the helmet a light sanding, and spraying a base coat of plain ol' Krylon gloss white. I did a couple of light coats, not worrying too much about getting a perfect finish.
After the base white coat dried, I began the weathering process by sponging on some Tamiya Field Gray in random areas. I was going for an effect similar to the weathering on the ESB helmet.
I used a smaller chunk of sponge and added some Floquil Gun Metal. This is a darker, bluer metallic than the Bright Silver a lot of us are familiar with.
Once that portion of the weathering was done, I got out the airbrush and started dirtying this bad boy down! I airbrushed 4 different tones, again putting them on in random, streaky patterns. I used Polly Scale Earth, Boxcar Red, Reefer Gray, and PRR Brunswick Green. Hmm. . . I wonder why I would have those particular colors lying around??? ;)
After letting the airbrushed colors dry, I went back with a small chunk of sponge and some Testors Acryl flat white and splinched some white back on in some areas. I wanted to sort of give the appearance that the helmet had been banged around even after getting all dirty.
(Yes, I did use the word "splinched." I like making up words :lol)
After the "splinching phase" I went back with a Microbrush and reapplied the Gun Metal color, and used an old dental tool to make some smaller scratches on the helmet. I also scraped down to the bare resin in some spots. Just another aspect of weathering.
Here are some closer shots.
I still need to work on the aerator pieces that go in that big, black "mouth" area. I also need to work on the RF and RF stalk. It will probably be a while until I get to those parts as sanding resin in my dorm room makes for a lot of vacuuming! :p
Thanks for looking!

Submitted to: Rice Technical Working Group Meeting Proceedings
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/1/2006
Publication Date: 2/15/2006
Citation: Bryant, R.J., Counce, P.A. 2006. Activities of enzymes related to starch synthesis and functionality in selected rice lines. Rice Technical Working Group Meeting Proceedings, February 29-March 2, 2006, Houston, Texas. CDROM. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Rice cultivars vary in their functionality from one year to another and from one location to another. Reasons for this variability have more often been speculated about than tested. Very little is known about the role the starch synthesizing enzymes play in influencing the processing quality of rice. Therefore, we sought to study five enzymes that are integral to the production of starch by conducting a two year study in Stuttgart, Arkansas. In that experiment, five U.S. long grain rice cultivars (Cocodrie, Cypress, Francis, Lemont, Wells), three Chinese indicas (Zhe 733, Guichao, Qiguizao), and two F12 lines derived from a cross of Guichao and Lemont (LG 13A and LG 13B) were grown in 2004 and 2005 in field experiments with randomized complete block designs at the University of Arkansas Rice Research and Extension Center in Stuttgart, AR. Twelve or more panicles between the R6 and R7 growth stages were collected, immediately placed on ice, and stored at -80oC. Crude protein extracts were obtained from R6 rice seeds from each plot with hulls (lemma and palea) and aleurone layer removed. These seeds were then ground frozen and homogenized in buffer. Protein extracts were assayed for sucrose synthase (SS), uridine diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase (UGP), starch branching enzyme (SBE), and soluble starch synthase (SSS). Apparent amylose content (AAC), RVA and DSC were determined on the mature seeds after dehulling, milling, and grinding each sample. Head rice yield was also determined. Cypress had highest head rice yield (70%) and LG 13B had the lowest (46%). The variation in AAC of the U.S. long grains ranged from 0.7% for Lemont to 4.1% for Cocodrie. For the indicas, the AAC variation ranged from 2.0% for Qiguizao and Guichao to 3.0% for ZHE 733. The crosses, LG 13A and 13B, had a variation range of 1.8% and 2.0%, respectively. For DSC, the ranges of To, Tp and Tc for the U.S. long grains were 67.3oC to 68.5oC, 77.4oC to 77.7oC, and 90.3oC to 92.5oC, respectively. Except for ZHE 733, the To, Tp and Tc ranges for the indicas and the crosses were 59.3oC to 61.8oC, 68.7oC to 71.4oC, and 84.8oC to 88.5oC, respectively. ZHE 733 had To, Tp and Tc values of 69.3oC, 79.1oC and 92.8oC, respectively. Cocodrie had the lowest peak viscosity (181 RVU), Francis had the highest (242 RVU), and all the indicas had higher final viscosity, >340 RVU. In 2004, Zhe 733 and Guichao had the highest SS activity at 39mU/grain each. The crosses, LG 13A and 13B, had the lowest at 21 and17mU/grain, respectively. The U.S. long grains, except Francis, had the highest UGPase activity, whereas the indicas and the crosses, except Guichao, had the lowest. Except for Lemont, the U.S. long grains had significantly higher SBE activity than both the indicas and the crosses. Lemont and Guichao had the highest SSS activity at 4.7 and 4.2mU/grain, respectively, and Cypress had the highest SBE, 22mU/grain. It has been shown that the synthesis of amylose lags behind that of amylopectin and that SSS has a 10X greater affinity for ADP-glucose. This means that if ADP-glucose is limited, either by the production (low SS activity) of or increase use (high SSS activity) of ADP-glucose, then the amount of AAC will be affected and AAC has been shown to greatly affect processing quality.

Statistical and Econometric Modeling
While I cannot afford Mathematica on my Mac-II-maybe if I sell it and
buy myself a NeXT-I would like to be on the mailing list to figure out
how useful it would be.
In particular, I would like to see discussion of usage of M. for
statistical and econometric modeling. Since magazines claim that
M. is a memory hog, I guess one would need virtual memory to use
M. for large-scale statistical projects, wouldn't one?

change in plans?
I was a little bored today so I decided to take a walk.Went to an area I have hunted in the past and had no luck. Well on the way in saw a huge buck. Got to the area and there was a couple of big scrapes and a few rubs. Didn't stay long don't want to spook him. Was gonna set up a stand in another area but never saw a buck like this! Only does.What to do hunt the buck or put meat in the freezer?
I guess it depends on what type of hunter you are. Trophy hunter or meat hunter. Maybe you could intend on hunting the buck but still take any first meat chances.
Well, I think there is no better time than the next 3 weeks to kill a good buck. If it was me I would hunt the buck and forget about the freezer for a while. There is plenty of hunting season left to kill does. Another thing is that this big buck will probably be hanging out not far from the does. You might consider sitting downwind from the doe bedding area that way you may catch him checking things out early afternoon, or if he doesn't come maybe you will get a shot on a doe. It's really personal preference, but that's what I would do.
:goodposting:the does will be good "bait" for that buck
If the big boy is in rut you may have a short window that his guard is down. I would hunt the big buck and let all others get a free pass for the next couple of weeks.
Good luck,

A Recent Grad Pins Hopes on Deferred Action as Undocumented Youths Prepare to Apply This Week
On a recent sweltering afternoon, Yelky Pérez went to pick up her diploma at Baruch College in Manhattan, where she graduated from in May with high honors.
It is a landmark moment for any college graduate, but it was especially important for the 20-year old who came to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic seven years ago — illegally.
"I feel like I've done it," Pérez said, holding her diploma, "despite all the times that I felt discouraged, all the times I felt in question what was going to happen after college."
This week, Pérez and tens of thousands of other undocumented immigrants in New York state and others from across the nation who came here as children and meet certain requirements will be able to apply for a two-year relief from deportation and a work permit.
The Department of Homeland Security will begin accepting requests for deferred action on August 15. The Obama administration announced the significant change in immigration policy in June.
To qualify, immigrants must have arrived in the U.S. before their 16th birthday, be under the age of 31, and have lived in the U.S. for at least five years. They also need to have a high school diploma or a G.E.D., or currently be in the process of getting them. They also must not have been convicted of a serious crime.
Critics of the deferred action program say President Barack Obama circumvented Congress with the goal of improving his chances of winning the elections, and that the move would lead to delays in processing applications for legal immigrants.
A senior DHS official said processing applications for deferred action could take months, although it is too difficult to determine the exact timeframe. He added other applicants, such as those waiting for green cards, would not experience longer wait periods.
(Photo: Yelky Pérez Speaking at a Rally in Albany. Courtesy of Yelky Pérez)
Pérez, who has an easy smile and long curly hair, came to the U.S. in 2005, when she was 13. Four years earlier, her father Julio came to New York illegally from the Dominican Republic.
He began working as a garbage collector and then worked his way into the construction trades, earning enough to bring his wife and three kids to the Bronx, where they rented the first floor of a privately owned home.
Pérez didn't speak English when she arrived in New York, and struggled at the now-shuttered Adlai Stevenson High School in the Bronx. But 1-1/2 years later, she was in English honors classes, and things changed.
"For me high school became a totally different experience," Pérez said. "Once I learned English, I was able to be part of student government. I became the president of the National Honor Society of my school."
Julio says he watched his daughter graduate as the valedictorian of her high school class and worried.
"It's been tormenting me," he said. "It's kept me from sleeping day and night because I felt at fault."
Julio worried he made a mistake by bringing his daughter to the U.S. and raising her expectations on what would be possible after graduating from college.
"I brought her so she could study, so she could become a professional, so she could have a career, so she could be someone in life," he said.
When he learned in June that there would be a new policy allowing children of illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria to stay in the country, Julio said it was "the greatest happiness" he has experienced since arriving here.
Pérez said always knew she was undocumented, since she arrived as a teenager, but she cautiously kept her status a secret even as she became an advocate for the failed Dream Act, a bill that would have provided conditional permanent resident status to qualified undocumented young immigrants.
After if failed to pass the Senate in 2010, Pérez said she felt it was the right time to come out.
"I want to be able to tell my own story," Pérez said, recalling what she was thinking at the time. "I don't want to keep on hiding. "

Even her best friend, Yudit Grullon, 23, a student at Baruch College, wasn't aware of her undocumented status, but said situations from the past, like those where she tried to persuade Pérez to find a job with her, or that they travel to the Dominican Republic together and the excuses she used to make now made sense.
"I started making that connection between the things that she used to tell me … and her situation," Grullon said.
Pérez currently has an off-the-books job at a small publishing company in mid-town Manhattan.
"When I started working I was very excited because… I thought it was going to be very difficult to find jobs," Pérez said.
She said she felt grateful when this position was offered to her in March. Her responsibilities include preparing manuscripts for publishing to answering phones, but she says the administration's announcement came at the right time for her.
"I'm still just getting paid $300 a week for 45 hours of work," Pérez said. "I need to go somewhere else where there's room for growth."
Pérez said she has a few important things on the list that she'd like to do if she's granted deferred action: getting a legal job, getting a driver's license and traveling the country.
"I'd like to go the Grand Canyon, and I would also like to go to Florida, to California," Pérez said. "I'd like to go to Las Vegas - not for gambling."
The traveling part is something she'd like to do with her husband Melvin Pérez, who's 34, and works in IT. The two usually come home together, cook dinner and watch movies in their Inwood apartment. On weekends, they play board games, like Risk and Cranium, with friends.
Melvin is a U.S. citizen, but Pérez hasn't qualified for a green card through marriage because of the circumstances of her illegal entry. Melvin describes their dreams as those of many couples: raising a family in the suburbs. But trying to plan a future when one half of the couple is undocumented, he says, is fraught with complexities.
"You don't have any papers," Melvin said. "You don't qualify for the mortgage and the loan. You're not going be able to co-sign with me. You're not going to make the money you deserve based on your degree. You may be deported."
Melvin says the deferred action initiative makes the suburban family life seem possible.
In the hallway of Baruch College, after picking up her diploma, Pérez took stock of the other documents she's prepared: school records, passport, immunization cards.
Pérez will use her education, medical and financial documents to prove she satisfies the criteria for deferred action.
If approved, Pérez says she hopes she'll eventually fulfill her long term goal of becoming a surgeon.
"I have everything that I think I need," she said.

Entry: Saturday, July 19, 2008
I've been driving since 1976 and I have always had a car of my own; that is until a year ago. After Bear lost his business, I reluctantly said good-bye to my van. Bear now uses an old station wagon which I occasionally get to use. My daughter, Briana, graciously lends me her car; but she will be attending college full time this fall and getting married in January.
My vehicles have always represented more than transportation to me. My car is my prayer closet, rehearsal hall, think tank, and a vital part of my organization. Things are where I need them.
Both vehicles are older so I deal with pesky things like an automatic shoulder strap that stops a foot in front of me, visors that swing out and hit my face, cup holders that are too small, a steering wheel that's too low, and an optimistic gas gauge. Add Mental Pause to the equation and, well, it isn't pretty.
Two months ago, one of my credit card companies sent me a pre-approved offer to buy a car. I was interested but I misread the expiration date. Last Thursday, I got the bright idea to reapply with the lender online. On Friday, they notified me that I was turned down. I was still licking my wounds when yet another pre-approved offer, from the same lender, arrived in Saturday's mail. Elmer fudd would say, "That's pwetty scwewy!
"My husband and I were on this like it was a game of Monopoly. When we arrived at the Nissan dealership we glanced at the expiration date. The deal was for next weekend. Nevertheless, on Sunday evening, I drove my new Nissan Versa home!
God can do ALL things! I have named my Nissan "Nissi" for Jehovah-Nissi meaning "...The-LORD-Is-My-Banner" (Exodus 17:15). When Moses stood with uplifted hands on the hilltop while Israel prevailed over their enemies the Amalekites, this was the title given by Moses to the altar which he erected.
It came to pass, it didn't come to stay.

Here's a pleasant read for the day after celebrating our glorious nation. The Boston Phoenix published its annual Muzzle Awards, which highlights enemies of free speech and personal liberty within the last year. The Phoenix version focuses on events in New England, but they're hardly local-only stories.
Here's just one example about David House, a founder of the Bradley Manning Support Network:
Last November, House, a Cambridge resident and former MIT researcher, arrived at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago following a vacation in Mexico. According to a lawsuit later filed on his behalf by the ACLU of Massachusetts, federal agents stopped him, seized his laptop computer, a flash drive, a digital camera, and his cell phone, and kept them for 49 days while they inspected the contents.
The agents also interrogated him about Manning, the Army private suspected of providing confidential US documents to WikiLeaks. In a classic example of guilt-by-association, the feds decided that House's activism on Manning's behalf was enough to raise suspicions. House, to his credit, has stayed strong, refusing recently to testify before a grand jury looking into WikiLeaks and calling the investigation "Nixonian."
There are 11 examples in all, but I think my favorite is when Boston Mayor Tom Menino objected to the T-shirts on display at Nike's Newbury Street store and demanded they be removed. Just don't do it, mayor.

Not only is it possible to animate your advertising with the proven cartooning principles of squish and squash, but it works even better when you apply some of that same strategic animation to your business itself.
But to do that, we have to understand how Squish and Squash is related to exaggeration and visual impact. Here's an excellent example I downloaded and swiped from Mark Kennedy's brilliant blog:
Before Squash and Stretch
After Squash and Stretch
The difference is pretty astounding isn't it?
Full alignment with the direction of movement + exaggeration of the line of movement. And just to drive home the "exaggeration of the line of movement" part, take a look at this other swiped picture from a Willard Mullin download (also downloaded via Mark Kennedy):
What's This Got to Do With Your Business?
First of all, understand that there's the product or service you're selling, and then there's what you're REALLY selling. Because unless you are hawking commodities at commodity prices, what you're really selling goes way beyond product or service and get's down to brand promise.
And the delivery of brand promise within your business is where you need all that alignment and strategic exaggeration.
Take Starbucks, for example. Did they really need to call their small, medium, and large coffees Tall, Grande, and Venti? It's almost kind of silly, isn't it? The kind of thing that's easily parodied.
But it's also an exaggeration designed to make the names aligned with the brand promise (not to mention the brand prices). Same thing with the music, the decore, the ludicrous choices and special lingo for how you want your drink prepared, etc.
This kind of exaggeration and alignment takes guts precisely because it's easy to make fun of. But the added profit makes it easy to endure the laughs : )
Bottom Line: the experience of whatever it is that you're *really* selling could easily be improved with a little animation via alignment and exaggeration. You just need the desire and the guts to do it.
P.S. I apologize for the "brand promise" jargon. I generally try to steer clear of marketing-speak, but that was the only term I could come up with to get at the non-tangibles that allow a branded product to easily charge premium prices.
Isla McKetta on 06.29.2012
I like this way of thinking about aligning details to tell the right story. It's like a recurring theme in a good novel and how all the details should relate back.

Britain's meanest romeo is being hunted by police after taking his lover for a Valentine's meal then running off without paying.
The bad boyfriend was caught on CCTV outside the village restaurant where he had racked up a £62 bill on food and wine.
The runaway romeo was seen taking his date outside for an after-dinner cigarette - but then legging it without paying.
The CCTV shows him convincing her to walk off down the street leaving an unpaid bill behind at the Bengal Lounge restaurant.
Manager Abdul Kahim said: "I guess romance must be dead.
"Given that this crime happened on the most romantic day of the year I thought the woman's partner would have paid for the meal instead of doing a runner.
"I was devastated when they walked out without paying for the food they had."
The couple had just enjoyed food and wine at the Bengal Lounge at Kenfig Hill, near Bridgend.
Mr Kahim said: "Their meal had only come to just £62, they'd had two bottles of Pinot Grigio wine, two of our special Valentine's Day meals, poppadoms and chutney.
"Valentine's Day is an important day for our restaurant as it brings us in a lot of revenue, so it's very worrying for us when a couple walk out/don't pay.
"I saw the couple in the restaurant and they didn't look like the type to walk out or cause any kind of trouble.
"But it's a good thing that we captured their faces of CCTV, I'm hoping they can be caught now."
The romantic rat is described as white, about 40 years old with a beard.
His dining partner mystery woman, who is of a "large build" is thought to be younger than him.
PC Marc Aitkin said: "This type of behaviour will not be tolerated.
"It is not a way to treat businesses which are there to provide us all with an enjoyable service."
Anyone with information concerning the identity of the couple are asked to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

An Odd Duck -- Gibson BR-6f Guitar Amp
I'm new here, so hello and glad to meet y'all.
I picked up a Gibson BR-6f awhile ago, as an around-the-house amp, and I'm trying to understand the design in order to know how best to restore it -- or how to nudge it toward its full potential without violating the design's integrity (i.e., grafting on a gnarly extra gain stage equals yikes, while rethinking the value of a plate resistor is not-yikes).
It's a '50s guitar and lap steel amp (the speaker code is 1953) with a lot of interesting behind-the-curve, '40s-specific design features. The speaker is a 10" Jensen field coil model, for instance, and the preamp tube is an 6SJ7 -- a sharp-cutoff pentode.
6SN7 for phase inverter, a pair of 6v6GT in push-pull, 5Y3 recto...
Here's a schematic:
The circuit reminds me, more than anything else, of the really early, octal-tubed Fender Deluxe -- like the Woody version and the first iteration of the tweed amps. The amp sounds. . .well, like it has a ton of potential, but also like it has an urgent need for new caps and tubes, and possibly a new/rebuilt transformer. The sound is muddy and imprecise, but with an unmistakable sort of resonance underneath the muck -- a kind of familiar (but indescribable) quality that attaches to good equipment that's been badly maintained.
Basically, and to be more brief about it: What does this design want to be? I mean, what should a design like this ideally sound like, and what sort of strengths and weaknesses does it inherently have?
The 6SN7 preamp tube is surprisingly gainy, btw. I don't have a clue how to compare pentode gain numbers to triode ones, but it seems to compare pretty favorably to the 12A_7 tribe. The field coil speaker is just sort of bewildering. I know how they work, more or less, but can't imagine what this one ought to sound like compared to an equivalent permanent-magnet Jensen....
Teh Gav
I think you have a very nice amp there, Do you have a way to post pictures? IMHO you should shoot for an "as made" restoration. There is no reason I know that this cant be a nice 10-15 watt amp. The fact that it uses a field coil type design means that I would want to know that the speaker was OK early on, so that I could avoid doing a bunch of work and then not being able to get a replacement speaker. Also the temptation to just replace all of the caps should be tempered, because it isn't always nessisary. This might be a gem.
One great thing about youtube, guys just love showing off vintage gear.
I did a quick search and found this.
Gibson is notorious for not following their own schematics, so watch out. I'd replace all the electrolytics, plate resistors, and the power tube coupling caps first. The 6sj7 is kinda like an EF86, and sounds very good. They can be a tad microphonic, but not always. The glass ones seem worse, but I've only had one. Sometimes they were run in grid leak bias, which may look strange...grounded cathode, big grid resistor. You *can* replace the field coil with a suitable choke and use a modern speaker. I just bolt the choke down somewhere in the combo and run well insulated lines (actually, it was a Hammond in my case, but whatever). That way you can keep the vintage field coil (they're fairly irreplaceable) and crank out tunes on something a bit more modern and replaceable.
I love those old Gibson set-ups - and (in my opinion) they sound best with the original field coils.
I agree that you should keep it as close to original as possible; however I'd recommend installing a couple of 1k screen resistors.
Have fun!
Thanks! Let me try to post some pictures today.
I'm just checking in briefly until I have time to reply at greater length, but as a sidenote, I found a really interesting build of a BR-6f clone last night -- a project that you wouldn't think anyone would have gotten around to doing, but it's certainly a big and bounteous world out there.
It's different in a few ways (6K6 power tubes, 6X5GT rectifier), but apparently pretty faithful to the published schematic; and it sounds, surprisingly, like a good hard rock amp -- lots of clear, resonant distortion and very little of the fizzy quality that 12AX7 pre stages can produce.
It's really forcing a reevaluation of what I thought sharp-cutoff pentodes were good for. I didn't know they could do that...

69 Bonneville molded door panels
I have a 69 bonneville that needs some door panel work,, they are a molded hard cardboard, type material with the upholstery material glued on ,and has cracked in some places,
I re-died the panels but the cracks still stand out,, or should I just recover over the existing material, ?
Post a picture so we can see what your dealing with... I would just make another one.. You can make a copy of it.(a Buck) Then use fleece to make the shape, Wet it out with resin..Like they do to make speaker box's..
You need to start with a new base for the panels, going over the old ones will not look good. 1969 door panels should not be that hard to duplicate, but I need to see a picture of what you're talking about.

text: I know this topic has been touched on before but I was just wondering why just about everybody on here complains about the poor accuracy of Autometer gauges? I am looking into getting some Cobalt gauges and they don't look that bad. If Autometer gauges were so unaccurate why are they used in almost all types of race cars in the USA? Is measuring the temperature of something that much different on a Japanese car than it is on an American car?

Yep, it took place at Downsview park. I took level one, and I must say it was well worth the money ( that's no surprise, BMW's are worth the money too
In the begining they give you a theory crash course, talk to you about weight transfers, limited grip at the wheels that can be used for acceleration, turning, etc. Show us how to position our seats, how to hold and turn the steering wheel properly ("9 and 3, boys and girls, 9 and 3" could be heard throughout the day when instructor noticed somebody's hands creeping up to 10 and 2). About instructors - very fun guys, who race cars for a living. And boy, they have eagle's eyesight
They also talk about habbits, about attitude adjustments for driving, etc. Trying to make us safer drivers, no doubt
Then we were off to the lot. 4 different excersices:
1 - Understeer (front wheel slip) and its control (A cirle of wet and sealed surface (slick!) and drive in circle at contant speed and then slowly increase your speed. Front end goes wii-i-i-ide. This was done with all electronic assistants turned off)
2 - Oversteer (rear wheel slip) and its control (Same circle as above, a bit lower speed, then lift and accelerate abruptly. Rear end goes fishing
Again, all electronic assitants off)
3 - Braking on wet surface (in rain, when you double your speed your braking distance increases almost 4 times) This was done with all electoric trickery off and then on to make us feel the difference.
4 - Obstacle avoidance (they set up a lane of cones, and the end of it they put one in the middle. it was a pretty tight squeeze even at low speed
Then they increase your speed to 50 and then 60 and you avoid hitting that centerl cone by going left or right. The cone was named Bart
and he got trashed, hehe)
At the end they set up a small slalom course and let us rip at it
We drove manual 2002 330i's, Topaz Blue with M-sport packages....shweet cars. They had no more than 3000km's on them and were super tight, even with all the abuse they see out there. Another group was driving steptronics, they had fun too.
Good times, for sure
Level 2. here I come.
At level two they do similar stuff, drive 330i's again and at the end of the course let you drive and M3.
At level three is a two day course, they are going to drive M3 all day at the track, somewhere in Quebec, from what I gathered. Level three is going to be offered next year.
I've been dreaming about an M3 for a while now. After this course, 330i has MORE than enough power for me

WARSAW (Reuters) - President Barack Obama assured Poland and its eastern European neighbors on Tuesday that the U.S. commitment to their security was sacrosanct at the start of a four-day trip meant to show U.S. resolve after the Russian intervention in Ukraine.
The White michael kors purse House unveiled plans for a billion initiative to send more of its military to Europe on a temporary basis but stopped short of promising to beef up its permanent presence as some of Washington s allies are seeking. It said the United States would review its force presence on the continent.
Speaking in an aircraft hangar at Warsaw airport where he met U.S. airmen taking part in a joint program with the Polish air force, Obama said U.S. commitments to Poland and the region were a cornerstone of the United States own security.
As friends and allies we stand united together, said Obama, whose two-day stay in Warsaw will include meetings with Ukrainian President-elect Petro Poroshenko and other central and eastern European leaders.
Obama is under pressure from critics at home, who say he is not showing enough firm leadership on the world stage, and from some NATO allies in eastern Europe who fear they may be the next targets for Russian expansion and want more U.S. protection.View gallery U.S. President Barack Obama addresses during a press conference at Belveder Palace in Warsaw June 3,
But Western powers must also strike a michael kors outlet canada delicate balance, because a big increase in NATO forces on Russia s borders could prompt reciprocal steps from the Kremlin and spiral into an arms race.
NATO defense ministers meet in Brussels on Tuesday to look at long term measures to strengthen alliance defenses in eastern Europe and consider how to combat the tactics used by Russia in Ukraine.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, also in Warsaw, said how to respond to the crisis in Ukraine would be a focus of Obama s meetings in Poland.
"We are here today because this remains a michael kors wallet new moment of challenge for all of us," Kerry told reporters.View gallery With an F-16 fighter in the background, U.S. President Barack Obama and Poland s President Broni
"Events in Ukraine have unfortunately unleashed forces that we had all hoped had been put away ... were behind us. So it requires new vigilance and it requires clear commitment.
The military assistance proposed by the White House, called the European Reassurance Initiative, is to include greater U.S. participation in training and exercises, deploying U.S. military planners, and more persistent naval deployments in the Black Sea and Baltic Sea, on Russia s doorstep.
The White House said in a statement it would build the capacity of Ukraine and two other Western-leaning countries on Russia s borders, Georgia and Moldova. Obama would be seeking the support of the U.S. Congress for the plan, it said.
In addition to this initiative, we are reviewing our force presence in Europe in the light of the new security challenges on the continent, it said.
These efforts will not come at the expense of other defense priorities, such as our commitment to the Asia Pacific rebalance.
Obama s visit to Poland coincides with the Freedom Day anniversary in Poland, which marks the holding of the country s first partially-free elections 25 years ago.
Later in the week, Obama travels to Brussels for a meeting of Group of Seven leaders and then to France michael kors purse for the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in World War II.

Four hospitalized after rollover crash in Lafayette
Four teens went to area hospitals after their SUV blew a tire and rolled off northbound Interstate 65 near the State Road 26 Exit early Monday morning.
Police say that the red 1999 Chevrolet Blazer driven by Cory Allen, 19, from Oxford, Indiana was northbound just after 12:30 a.m. when a rear tire blew, causing Allen to lose control and over-correct, causing the Blazer to roll several times before coming to rest on the driver's side.
The driver's side back seat passenger, Cole Liggett, 18, Otterbein, was transported to IU Arnett in Lafayette with life threatening injuries.
Allen was transported to Franciscan St. Elizabeth Hospital East in Lafayette. Front seat passenger Kyle Bryant, 18, of Lafayette was also transported to St. Elizabeth East with complaint of pain. He was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
The middle seat passenger, Jordan Rooze, 19, Oxford, was also transported to IU Arnett Hospital with complaint of pain.
The right side back seat passenger, Nicholas Satchell, 18, Otterbein, was not injured.
All of the back seat passengers were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
It is unsure at this time if drugs and or alcohol played a part in the crash.

For all its technical sophistication the FX35 is still a fairly brisk performer. It starts up in around 2.5 seconds, which while not breaking any records is still quite respectable. In single-shot mode it can sustain one shot every 1.7 seconds, which is also reasonably quick, while in long-period continuous shooting it more than doubles that speed, shooting every 0.7 seconds.
The autofocus system is fast and reliable, and works extremely well in low light. It has a good AF assist lamp, and can focus in total darkness at a range of around three metres. If it fails to focus an on-screen display tells you the safe in-focus area so you can at least guess if your shot will be sharp.
Image quality is also very good, with a lot of credit going to the superb lens, which provides excellent sharpness almost right across the frame, blurring only a little in the far corners at wide angle. Despite its exceptionally short focal length the lens also produces very little wide-angle distortion, producing almost perfectly straight parallel lines.
Exposure metering is accurate and consistent, and dynamic range too is better than average for a 10MP ultra compact, although it did tend to slightly over-expose highlights, leaving some high-contrast shots with blown-out bright spots.
Image noise is the only real problem, as it frequently is for Panasonic cameras, and even this isn't too severe. Images at 400 ISO show significant loss of detail due to noise reduction, and 800 and 1600 are progressively even worse. However colour reproduction remains consistent, and image quality at lower ISO settings is superb.
The Panasonic FX35 demonstrates just how much technology can be squeezed into even the tiniest camera bodies. It combines terrific build quality and aesthetic design with a class-leading wide-angle lens, decent performance, exceptionally good low light performance. Only the slightly annoying high-ISO noise prevents it scoring 10/10 in this area. If you are looking for a feature-packed luxury compact with wide zoom and image stabilisation then the FX35 is one of the best on the market.
The worst little cam I ever bought...
I cannot even understand how it could get more than 5/10 for the image quality.
The images are full or artifacts due to a bad JPG compression...
Having said that, everything else is good on the photo side.
On the video side, HD is quite nice but the sound is of very low quality... a pity...
Up to now, the best image quality I had on a ultra compact camera has been the Panasonic FX01.
You must have the wrong camera!!
I recieved this camera as a present,and I think it's a great little camera,which produces sharp.colouful 10x8 prints without any problems.
Obviously at higher ISOs it's gets a bit noisy,but how often does that become a problem?
The flash works well,and it has loads of different modes for most situations.
I have had various cameras over the years,my latest a Nikon D60.
This of course can produce first class prints,but the little FX35 is so portable(it fits in my pocket) I usually take that with me,as I think I am getting past lugging heavy camera bags about.For it's size it's amazing,it certainly surprised me with the results it can produce,and it's beautifully made.
Even the macro mode works well,and if I put a A4 print of one of my roses,taken with the FX35,against one taken with the D60,it's certainly hard to tell them apart with the naked eye.
I think therefore that you are wrong with your comments about the FX35,I think it's a little gem!!
I have to disagree!!
It's a great little camera,beautifully made and can produce great 10x8 prints,comparable with my Nikon D60.
It must be one of the best wide angle compacts available,a bargain in my view,and certainly more portable than my Nikon D60!!
Just look at te test pictures. Reviewer writes that the ISO 100 test shot quality is extremely good.
I cannot see what is "extremely good" when you look at the yellow inside part of the green car. There are really awful artefacts, which are not present at similiar shots on other comparable cameras. I agree this is a good little camera, but how such defects can be ignored, and how such quality can get 9/10 rating?!
what are the differences with the LUMIX DMC-LS5 (besides the video definition and the wide-angle 25 vs. 30) ? Which one is the best in low light / high ISO ?
I have to agree with Tompic - absolutley terrible. Bad colours, shaky images, poor focus.
I've sent it back to Amazon, suspect its faulty. I'll let you know.
Right. Amazon sent me a replacement and collected the old camera. Difference is amazing. Suspect the old one was a 'returned and cleaned up' model. Bit naughty, but no issues with Amazon - just swapped it straight away.
New camera is great. Sharp images, amazing colour definition, easy to use. I have a D40x - not as good as that, but tiny in comparison. A good 9/10 from me.
This is a real gem of a camera. I was looking for a genuine take-everywhere camera to complement my DSLR. After much searching around I finally decided on the FX35, choosing it over the FX500 (price) and IXUS870 (just that little bit bulkier).
The image quality is superb and the thing is built like a tank. It feel wonderful in the hand (remember it's basically a Leica in many respects!!!).
Yes, there's noise. BUT that's easily solved by either improving your compositional skills so that you shoot consistently more with a low ISO, or you simply invest in some noise reduction software. You won't even see it anyway if you're printing snapshots or medium prints taken at under ISO400. So, don't worry about that!
Wonderful camera!
Hi, can anyone tell me what the battery life is like?? thats quite an important thing for a point-and shooter. cheers
After having this camera for two years now,I still give it top marks for excellent quality photographs,particularly in interiors.I went to Florence last year and photographed various paintings,and was very pleased with the results,which were very sharp,with spot on exposures,and vivid,lifelike, colours.
The anti-shake worked perfectly in the subdued lighting,as flash wasn't allowed,but it didn't matter!
They made very good A4 prints,so I can confirm again that this camera is truly a little marvel,and is so easy to use!
Certainly ideal for holidays,and just slipping in your pocket"just in case".
Panasonic are really to be congratulated on their excellent cameras,,all with remarkable Leica lenses.
My sister in japan gave me this Panasonic lumix DMC- FX35 . . the problem is that the writing is in japanese. . . anyone can help me change it into English. . . thank you.
