jmclean: Great article, Ben! Thanks for posting. Not everyone on this forum is gracious enough to say something positive: let me credit you for your generosity in sharing! Hope you don't regret putting your thoughts and experiences out here. And may you never get blisters!
Gear heads? Differing views? Post links to your articles! Haters? Such behavior is very unbecoming: learn to show a little class. That would be nice in these difficult times.
Anonymous posting will always have inappropriate comments. There is famous case from the 70's where employees were able to do a performance evaluation of their supervisors while being anonymous. The comments they were left were terrible and unhelpful. When mgmt went to the employees and did a live interview about the same supervisors the evaluations were much more valuable and positive. Rail all you want about online comments but the negativity will never go away when the writers identities are hidden. By the way, apart from these views, what did you think of the article?
I really like the images this camera can make. I especially like jpeg's shot in BW using the yellow filter. With the yellow filter and a couple more setting adjustments one can get a nice glow in the image. I also like the Nikon 24mp sensor that is in the D5500, D3300 and D7200. I take primarily urban images and I think that sensor renders concrete, asphalt and other building materials in a really nice way. But if I had to choose between the two I would probably find making images with the Fuji closer to what I want my mages to look like. $499 is a nice price for the X-E2.
darwiniandude: These comments are woeful.
Android is just (IMO) a really ghastly experience. But if you like it, more power to you.
So, which android phones has a second camera which is longer than the main one? Which have anything close to an f2.8 56mm lens inside?
A few years ago I switched to Android and I ended up giving the phone to a friend. I recently got the Galaxy 7 to try Android again and love it. It feels much more open than the Apple iOS. It is not a "ghastly" experience at all. The bottom line is that I could care less what phone people use or why they use it. I think people should try different things from time to time. One should also try camera's that may not meet a gear head's must-have check list as long as the image created is useful to the art one is making.
DocGer: Just picked up my GX85 body, which will be a 2nd body to supplement my GX8, allowing me to have 2 lenses available in situations where lens changes are risky. Also as a better fit to my really long 100-400 mm, without having to use the GX8's shutter-shock work-around of electronic shutter.
The camera itself is much as expected, and will undoubtedly "do the job".
BUT, Panasonic have really cheaped out (at least in Canada) by not providing a separate battery charger. Instead they include a wall wart and quite short USB cable, to charge batteries in the camera. This of course makes it impossible to use the camera while it is charging a battery, a process of several hours. I can't imagine it saves them any significant money, and really puts this body into the amateur class.
There are after-market chargers available, but really, given the price of the body, should one have to spend even more for the convenience of using a camera while charging another battery!
Exactly right.
Streetutopia: Does anyone know how long the motor mechanisms in the lens last? $700-$900 for a camera that uses a motor seems risky--but I never see this issue mentioned in reviews.
Thank you!
Pat, thanks. So is that it? There are hundreds of reviews of new camera's but never a mention of durability apart from how if feels to the hand (build quality). In the recent past most motorized lenses were part of a point and shoot. But now manufacturers are making $1000 cameras with motorized lenses. The real question about whether to purchase the camera is to me how long I will be able to use the camera. I also prefer small cameras. So, for now I have settled on the GM1 and GM5 for my camera's. I think it is pretty chickensh*t for the reviewing orgs to not look into camera durability.
I was at the University of New Mexico in the 70's. Because of the schools great photography department, and due to the school being in a the middle of the great southwest it attracted many photographers who came to the state to photograph and were willing to give lectures to students while they were in the area. One night Adams came and spoke about many different topics and he showed us slides of both his art and some behind the scenes activities. One of the things I found most interesting was that he made a print each time a print was ordered by a customer-there weren't always copies sitting around that he could send off to the buyer. He said that his aesthetic sensibility changed over time and how he printed a photo would change through the years often yielding very different results. I liked that his art wasn't static to him but rather there was an artistic sense always in play and that the image didn't simply stay in a can unchanged-it constantly evolved.

Thank you!
Beckler8: The B&H website confirms the stupidity (IMO) of the design:
"...a versatile point-and-shoot marrying both form and function. Designed to be as sleek as possible, the ZS100..."
But ok, maybe some people want "sleek" instead of usable. So why not release the same camera in a version designed to be used? I'm talking proper button/dial size and layout, grip, something innovative like illuminated and more custom controls. I have zero interest in an all-smooth design to satisfy some subjective 'style' desire. I say subjective because I find the clean layout of a pro-dslr look infinitely more pleasing than the dumbed-down apple-look of this unit.
Thanks for that interesting analysis. When I was looking at the camera today I thought "I wonder what the grumpy DP readers will say about this camera. " Now I know.
Great idea. If someone is going to 'mine' public resources for their own personal financial gain, they SHOULD pay to do that. Even the 5 painted Victorians along Alamo Square in San Francisco copyrighted their homes to stop people from profiting from making postcards of their property.
I am curious to how long one might expect the cameras electrical/mechanical lens to function? I think the Nikon V1 was thoughtful in this regard as it uses attachable manual lenses. I didn't mind having such a lens on a cheap point and shoot but the Rx100 is not a cheap point and shoot. Does anyone have any data on the reliability of RX100 lens or comparable mechanical lenses?
Chris. Thank you for the article on the external battery pack. I am a city planner and we do a lot of field recordings of project sites and also pedestrian interviews. This is exactly what we need (and hence we ordered the materials) to help us with long field recording sessions.
I went to your web page and I like your inquisitive nature and they way you are trying to solve problems and innovate. Keep it up! This board is notoriously grumpy so take their feedback with a grain of salt.
brn: Nothing against the Chirs, but why is this worthy of posting on DPReview? It's using a DC Coupler for what a DC Coupler is designed for. Where's the news here?
All Chris did was mount the battery in a very inconvenient location. I can see my head hitting the battery or the cable. Not to mention, losing the ability to attach a flash or even the ability to use the built-in flash.
Actually, I was glad to see the article about the battery and hope that DP Review keeps a diversity of articles coming. A narrow focus makes for a boring web site. Thanks DP- I for one appreciate the work you do !
ryansholl: ANOTHER BODY?!
Did I about cover it?
I like Sony and appreciate their constant innovation. I like this camera and will probably buy it. I use older manual Zeiss and Nikon lenses and don't really care about Sony lenses.
Empies: There are no bad cameras, there are bad photographers
In the 80's MOMA in NYC gave out cheap little point and shoot film cameras to a bunch of famous painters and asked them to submit a photo or two for an exhibition. The photo's were all wonderful as one would expect from a group of great painters. The camera made absolutely no difference to the composition, etc of the photographs. I see people on this site arguing about whether a certain camera has x number of pixels or a certain dial in a certain place on the camera. What most of you should be thinking about is composition, an interesting subject, etc and not camera specs.
M Hamilton: Ricoh is awesome, adding features to a 3 year old camera. Still love my GRD IV
I agree.
For me it all comes down to image quality. I am axious to see some sample images. This could be intesting with the low-pass filter eliminated.
I have read through comments on this board several times before and it is alway so negative, grumpy and not too helpful. I get the feeling that everyone who posts on this site is a grear head and is stuck on tech specs and not on the actual art creating part of photography.
I happen to like the Sony RX100 as I am someone who always has a camera with me but can't stand DSLR's (too big, heavy,). The Sony IQ is great and is helped along by using DXO software that corrects for lens deficiencies.
I know, I know, you all hate DXO , Sony, blah blah blah.
fakuryu: Even if Pentax-Ricoh's offerings are a bit lack luster or attention grabber (except for that DA 560mm f5.6) compared to what the other brands are offering, it is undeniable that the K5/K5II/K5IIs with those Limited primes are a beautyand has class leading IQ
I agree with you. All these people citing DXO numbers as if they mean anything. The only thing that means anything is the quality of the actual images the camera produces. I am not a Pentax owner but am going to spring to the K-5 II s. After looking at hundreds of images the K-5 has superior results....much better than the Nikon 5100/7000 (that i have), etc. So I agree with your statement re: IQ. We need more artist on this board and fewer tech spec followers.
I like what Pentax is doing. I know a lot of photographers are into tech metrics but I am more interested in the image. Not the quality as usually quantified but simply the way it looks (aesthetics). Although I don't own a K5 I have felt that the images created by that camera are sensational.
I also believe not having an AA filter will dramatically increase the quality of the final image--more so than going to a 24mp camera.
Small size, weather sealed, great images, etc makes me a buyer for the "S" model.
Finally, I siimply don't understand why everyone is complaining at this time without first seeing the new camera's output/images.

Fall of the Warlock Kings
Dragon Emperor
Dragonborn ruler of the Dragon Empire of Kydon Kail, for many years in fact but most recently in name only. The line of Dragon Emperors streches back 1400 years to the founding of the Empire, though the connections between some of the Emperors has been tenuous at best, and many were adopted, in some cases retroactively after a successful rebellion. Still, every one of the rulers has claimed to be in the same line of succession, and most have been members of the ruling Dakaro family, or have quickly married into it and taken the name. The current ruler is a youngish dragonborn, bearing the characteristic blue-purple color of the Dakaros though his grandfather was a barely-noble northern general who married the then-current Empress after supressing a rebellion and then, after she had birthed an heir, had her exiled to the Furthest Shore. Kathurol Dakaro dreams of taking back his throne in reality, of leading the still-numerous if poorly trained and idle forces of Kydon Kail in reclaiming his lost provinces, or at least of throwing off the yoke of the Great King, but he lacks the funds and the support to do so. His power is only a dream, though he is beloved by his people, and viewed as next to godlike by dragonborn both inside and outside the Empire. He is technically high priest of Tiam, though he is not a cleric. The life of the Dragon Emperor is ringed about in ceremonial; he is attended at almost all times by his Eunuch Guard, dragonborn whose shells before birth are treated with a substance that makes them infertile and of indeterminite gender; and he is seldom allowed out of the palace compound, and almost never out of Kydon Kail itself.

York County High School Principal Dr. Shannon Butler went above and beyond for her students…literally.
Butler promised the students she would go skydiving if they raised $15,000 for a cancer research fundraiser by March 24. The students ended up raising over $20,000 before the deadline.
She kept her promise and took to the skies with Skydive Suffolk on Saturday.
All the money raised during the fundraiser is going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The UCLA Department of Mathematics is by far the youngest of the top mathematics departments in the nation. Since awarding its first Ph.D. in 1947, it has grown significantly. As of Fall 2016, it has 49 ladder faculty and 67 assistant adjunct professors, postdoctoral fellows, lecturers and visiting faculty, encompassing major areas of both pure and applied mathematics. Yet, despite its size and scope, indeed perhaps because of it, the department has succeeded in creating a unique synergy among its faculty across its research groups. The integration of research interests and the opportunity to train under diverse faculty is a huge draw.
The department is a center of excellence for cutting-edge research in mathematics, including interfaces with other disciplines. In 2007, the department received the American Mathematical Society's (AMS) Award for an Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department. The award recognizes a mathematics department in North America that has distinguished itself by undertaking an unusual or particularly effective program of value to the mathematics community, internally or in relation to the rest of society. The department was the second recipient of the award. AMS praised the department for "a comprehensive vision for its undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral training programs that involves important interactions with the NSF-funded Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at UCLA. Through these extensive training programs, UCLA has become one of the largest pipelines to mathematical careers in the United States." More recently, the Academic Ranking of World Universities' (ARWU) summer 2017 ranking put the department at number six among all mathematics departments in the world.
The UCLA Department of Mathematics encourages close interaction between faculty and its diverse graduate student body to maximize students' educational experience. There are many opportunities for learning mathematics beyond formal coursework. To supplement the classroom experience, a Distinguished Lecture Series, weekly colloquia and conferences are offered throughout the year. Distinguished visiting faculty from across the globe supplements the department's world-class faculty.

Buttock Augmentation Surgery, also called a Brazilian Butt Lift, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances and reshapes the buttocks. The procedure is performed either by transferring fat or inserting butt implants in the gluteal area. It takes around two to three hours to complete and is performed under either general or local anesthesia.
The surgery results in a more shapely and fuller buttock area, which creates a better silhouette and a more youthful appearance.
There are two main ways buttock augmentation is performed: autologous fat transfer and gluteal implant surgery. The first type takes fat from one area of your body (usually the hips, back, stomach, or thighs) and injects it to your buttocks using syringes connected to cannulas. The second type is done by inserting a soft silicone implant in an incision on the buttock crease. The first is more effective for people with sagging buttocks, whereas the second is for those with flat or poorly defined buttocks.
The type of procedure performed will depend on your surgeon's recommendations. Each procedure is different and should be tailored specifically to each client.
Browse our collections of before and after photos by Category
Recovery from buttock augmentation surgery takes roughly eight weeks. You will not be allowed to sit down for about 10 days except for going to the toilet (while a pillow is placed underneath you). You will be asked to avoid sitting and physical activities for up to 8 weeks after the surgery.
You should make sure that your surgeon is board-certified and experienced in performing the procedure. It is good to approach your surgery cautiously and consciously.
Today, there is an unsafe variation of buttock augmentation done by injecting silicone in the buttock area. This procedure is very unsafe and is usually performed by unlicensed and uncertified practitioners. We advise you to stick only to reputable clinics and board-certified surgeons.

A question was posted internally asking about how to exclude particular messages classes being synched to Vault Cache/Offline Vault. Up came the thought of using OVMessageClassExclude, it certainly SOUNDS like it should fit the bill. Unfortunately that's not the case:
From a glance back through internal change logs it looks like this setting was added a long time ago (I can find references to it in EV 2007 SP 5, for example). However what it does is stop the pre-emptive cached (trawling of the OST file) of particular message classes.
To test it, I had a bunch of archived items, and then a handful of new messages that I just sent.
After the initial download if you then open the .DB file (close Outlook, copy the .DB file, and rename it to PST, open Outlook and add in the PST file) you see the following :
And you can see it being trawled, and added to the .DB file :
And in the trace you would see :
03/02/2011 17:58:14.197[3448]: TRAWL: Processing item: testme
03/02/2011 17:58:14.198[3448]: TRAWL: Message class not excluded 'IPM.Note'
03/02/2011 17:58:14.198[3448]: TRAWL: CCTrawler::EligibleForCaching: 0x0
03/02/2011 17:58:14.199[3448]: CCGeneral::CalculateAgentDate: 0x0
03/02/2011 17:58:14.199[3448]: ~CCGeneral::CalculateAgentDate: 0x40380
03/02/2011 17:58:14.200[3448]: TRAWL: Age of item in days '0'
03/02/2011 17:58:14.200[3448]: TRAWL: Message size in bytes '1149412'
03/02/2011 17:58:14.200[3448]: TRAWL: Item eligible – older than Inactivity Period + Lead Time
03/02/2011 17:58:14.201[3448]: TRAWL: ~CCTrawler::EligibleForCaching: 0x0
03/02/2011 17:58:14.201[3448]: TRAWL: About to insert item
03/02/2011 17:58:14.202[3448]: TRAWL: CCTrawler::InsertItem: 0x0
03/02/2011 17:58:14.202[3448]: CONTENT: ContentCacheImpl::InsertItem
I then set OVMessageClassExclude to IPM.Note. After resetting vault cache and letting it build, and then restarting Outlook I checked it wasn't in any DB file…and then let the trawler run.
This time I see :
And the trace shows the items weren't trawled.
03/02/2011 18:05:06.147[ 920]: OVMESSAGECLASSEXCLUDE = IPM.Note
03/02/2011 18:05:06.148[ 920]: OVMESSAGECLASSINCLUDE = REPORT.IPM*;IPM.Post*;IPM.Note*;IPM.Document*;IPM.*;
BUT unfortunately you don't see a nice bit of trace like earlier, where you see an item that does get trawled. This time if you search for testme, the only thing you see is the PVID being removed, you don't see it being nicely shown and excluded… that part is a bug to be raised

Just enjoying a silent Sunday before what will most likely be a busy week with signing my dissertation contract (things just getting real!!!!) and getting into a good writing routine.
I really love this particular sonnet by Shakespeare. So graceful and elegant. I hope my little scrapbooking does it partly justice.
Have a wonderful and peaceful day.

Instant issuance Visa and Mastercard prepaid cards are non-personalized payment cards that can be handed out in-person and on-the-spot.
Typically, cards are kept in a secure location and then distributed in a controlled manner using an online app. A staff member logs into the app, hands a card to a recipient, and then easily records the assigned card in the app.
Staff can optionally capture customizable cardholder demographics like first and last name, email address, or even variable fields like answers to survey questions and associate them with the cardholder.
Drive engagement with employees and sales staff
Get better results from in-store and door-to-door sales
Disburse funds with security, compliance, and controls

Volkswagen disburse millions of dollars in recall and goodwill payments using instant issuance capabilities.

Door-to-door and field sales initiatives
Employee rewards and holiday gift giving
In-field disaster relief and insurance payments
Clinical trial and research compensation
Focus group compensation
Corporate expense management and stipends
Plus, Mastercard and Visa prepaid cards can be branded and custom designed, meaning the card itself along with all collateral and promotional material can be created to serve brand requirements and integrate with existing marketing campaigns.
And since prepaid cards can be used anywhere Visa or Mastercard is accepted, including online and overseas, recipients get to purchase whatever reward is most meaningful to them.

I'm trying to cut costs and to be conscientious of eating better these days, and the result this week was my thinking of a Mexican-alternative dinner. This is what I did.
Instead of buying something like this (which belongs to my roommate):
I bought this:
I had a hunch that petite diced tomatoes were the same thing as salsa, and I was right! The diced tomatoes cost $1 while the salsa was approximately $4. Win!
The next step was to make use of something that had been long forgotten in the deep freeze. I found steaks (from a date which I had planned to cook for which never happened, alas). You may have chicken or turkey or something else. Any kind of meat will work. I sliced the steaks into bite-sized portions.
To finalize my instant-Mexican meal, I used lettuce instead of a tortilla, and the cheese I had on hand. My final ingredient list looked like this
You might also want to add sour cream, black olives, jalapeños or whatever else suits your fancy.
When I put it all together—lettuce, steak, tomatoes, cheese—this was the final result
So there you have it. A cheap, easy and protein-rich dinner!

There are several different ways to adjust the picture size depending on what types of devices are connected to the television. This is generally corrected by selecting the appropriate aspect ratio of the TV. Access the menu of the television to see if it looks cropped or zoomed. If so, the device may require service.
Changing the Aspect Ratio (Picture Size)
In order to change the aspect ratio on an LG television, simply select the Q. Menu button on the LG TV remote and use the navigational arrows to scroll to Ratio and make your selection.
The most common Aspect Ratio is 16:9.
After changing the aspect ratio to 16:9, if your picture is still larger/smaller than the television screen you will need to contact your cable/satellite service provider or the manufacturer of the external device you are using for further troubleshooting and assistance.
Just Scan
Set By Program (Original)
On NEWER webOS SMART TV, options have slightly changed:
When selecting either zoom, you will be prompted to manually adjust position of picture on screen as well as the zoom. Vertical zoom is ideal to push out both upper and lower black bars on screen from viewing an extra widescreen movie such as 2:35:1 or 2.50:1 format. Viewers will however lose some of the picture extremities on both sides.
Anytime an Aspect Ratio option is greyed out, that is communicated to the television by the video source. It simply signifies the picture format is locked into a specific aspect ratio and cannot be altered.
If you are not happy with the end results from your manual adjustments, you can always return and start all over from scratch by clicking the RESET button at the bottom left.

The European Commission has dismissed as "without foundation" a claim that Thailand has been given more time by the European Union to tackle illegal fishing practices or IUU, reported Eureporter online on Tuesday.
The commission was referring to reports that quoted Thai government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd as saying that Bangkok would be allowed to go beyond the initial deadline of October in taking the necessary corrective measures.
In April, the EU yellow-carded the country's fishing industry giving it six months to improve its IUU situation or face a potentially crippling ban on seafood imports into the EU.
Sansern claimed last week that the EU had extended the deadline, adding, "The prime minister is glad that the EU understands the Thai government's intentions and is allowing it to continue to solve the problem."
But on September 21, a Commission spokesman told this online that such claims were "without foundation."

Panthers Blank Canadiens, 3-0
Roberto Luongo got his career-high sixth shutout of the season, and Olli Jokinen and Viktor Kozlov each had a goal and an assist to lead the Florida Panthers to a 3-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.
Luongo, who has 16 career shutouts, made 24 saves. He had five shutouts in 2000-01, his second of four seasons in the NHL.
Jeff Toms also scored as Florida ended a four-game winless streak. The Panthers have just three wins in their last 13 games (3-7-2-1).
Jokinen and Kozlov, the Panthers' two leading scorers, assisted on each other's goals _ which came 1:43 apart in the second _ as Florida scored three times while outshooting Montreal 10-3 in the period.
The Canadiens lost in regulation for the first time in their last five games (4-1-0-1) following a season-high four-game losing streak.
Both teams had 12 shots apiece during a scoreless first period.
Toms, who was recalled from San Antonio of the AHL on Monday, scored his first goal in four games with the Panthers this season when he deflected defenseman Jay Bouwmeester's shot past Jose Theodore to open the scoring 2:08 into the second.
Jokinen got his 31st goal to make it 2-0 when he beat Theodore on a breakaway with 6:30 left in the period.
Kozlov scored on a power play with 4:47 left in the second as he blasted a slap shot from the left point beyond Theodore to put the Panthers up by three.
Jokinen just missed a scoring a second goal when he struck the post behind Theodore with a little more than 2:00 left in the period.
Luongo made a sprawling pad save on Chad Kilger midway through the third to preserve his shutout.
Notes:@ Jokinen leads the Panthers with 55 points in 58 games, trailed by Kozlov, who has 40 points in 51 games. … Toms, who had one assist in his three previous games with Florida, signed with the Panthers as an unrestricted free agent last July. He had 19 goals and 22 assists in 45 games with San Antonio of the AHL. … Theodore, the NHL's best goalie and MVP last season, is 1-6-0 in his last seven starts.

How to Crack Job Interviews Easily?
Applying for the job
This is a question which is occupying minds of youth nowadays. This deal is not that easy as the other ones like applying for the jobs after satisfying the criterion. A well planned stratagem is required along with substantial presence of mind and concentration. For this you should be ready regarding every aspect, as from preparing resume to preparing for the strategy in order to shoot for that particular job. The main focus is laid on how efficiently you tackle and respond to the tricky question in that interview.
Some tips to facilitate you for responding to the tricky questions
Regarding this several measures or useful steps which should be necessarily taken care of are listed below:
· The foremost aspect for you to set the impression is to Be Positive, as this really plays a role in determining your worth for that job. As usually the applicants under stress contradicts this factor and unknowingly leads to nowhere. So whatever the situation or question may be, you should be confined to yourself and should possess a positive attitude towards them and their question.
Be calm and composed
· Secondly you should be filled with Calmness, as it determines your ability to control whether it's you yourself or anyone else. As your calmness yields better output with efficient growth to their firm for which they are seeking the applicant.
· Further you should know the art to Sell Yourself as this will result in a better outsourcing on that platform and attaining a good marketing position for their firm. It will also enable them to judge your abilities which will serve their foremost purpose. And it will also add points to your selection chances.
· Another crucial aspect regarding the strategy is that Don't Blame Others, like if you blamed your ex-boss for leaving the last job then it will definitely imprint a bad impression of you on them. As it will reflect that you are not self- dependent rather you tend to blame others for your silly reasons. As mentioned above a positive outlook always helps. Blaming others will only negotiate your in-capabilities for that particular job.
Complimenting others for their hard work is the part of the process
· Putting the constituted compliments and observations quite credible and realistic, you should be calculative regarding your skills without comparing your abilities with other applicants. As it will enable them to judge you positively. And whatever you converse with them regarding this you should be confident.
· Good Communication skills and answering their queries to the point directly is what they generally search for. There is no way you can fool them for the answers you don't know, this would never happen so be straight forward in whatever you know firmly without any kind of inconsistency. As this would prove to be litmus to your capabilities.
The last add-ons
Keeping such points in mind will help you to crack almost all types of interview. In spite of these you should rehearse about your verbal resume consistently. And be ready to dictate about yourself as it is always asked.
At last success lies in court of those applicants who really out-work their competition.

Axisymmetric plastic buckling of axially compressed cylindrical shells is studied for semi-infinite shells and shells of finite length subject to free-edge boundary conditions. It is shown that the length of the cylinder has a negligible effect on the buckling load. Reductions in buckling stresses from the classical simple-support value are significant, with the amount of reduction dependent on the details of the variation of tangent modulus with stress. Numerical results are presented for cylinders composed of 2024-T4 aluminum and 3003-0 aluminum.

The hand that turns the tap
The hand that turns the tap
Let me not be the hand that turns the tap
I must be missing something essential
because I open, open
and what energy, what calm,
I've gathered up
floods out in the alltogether
so I tighten, tighten
like a vanishing bank account
but putting a prudent watch on yourself
means you miss seeing anything that matters!
So how to turn the tap to the endless middle?
God knows I've tried
a violin neck has not been so handled
as the methods I've employed to this end
let me not be the hand that turns the tap
but oh, I'd be any of its water
water that gets down
down under the dirt

to play it safe by carrying over the light blue from the facing wall.
And I mostly stuck with that...but I couldn't quite resist adding some

I'm curious to know why you used joint compound instead of just buying textured paint (or is that not available anymore?) When I did some renovation on my bedroom where I took out the north window and replaced it with sliding glass doors on the west side of the house, I covered up the mismatched wall with textured paint and then bought what I thought at the time was a kind of beige/cream paint that turned out to be more pinkish. (I HATE pink! Reminds me of Pepto Bismol). Since then I discovered the color was something called "Venetian plaster". It looks fine on the textured wall. The other three walls were left alone. I'm now considering painting the other three walls a greyed green to match the drapes I have over the sliding glass door, which now goes out onto my back deck.

Restaurant Lineup Taking Shape
Jul 05, 2011 05:54PM
● By Anonymous
Area restaurants are gearing up to compete in the Crab Cook-Off at the annual Taste of Cambridge event coming up this Saturday, July 9. Now in its seventh year, the competition generally features 8 to 10 restaurants making a total of 10 to 15 different dishes.
The crab-cooking competition happens inside the Taste of Cambridge street festival in downtown Cambridge. Starting at 5 pm, the event features four musical acts, two dance troupes, a juggler, dozens of vendors, and much more.
While admission is free, only attendees who buy a $25 ticket get tastings of all the crab dishes—and a ballot to help choose which restaurants are the winners in various categories.
"It's a friendly competition, but it's also something everyone takes seriously," said Billie Jo Heister, the volunteer co-chair of the team organizing the event for the nonprofit Cambridge Main Street. "The chefs know this event puts their talents in the spotlight, and they definitely want to be at their best."
The contest is judged in two ways. In addition to the "People's Choice" selected by ticket buyers, a trio of celebrity judges receive blind tastings of all entries and choose "Judge's Choice" winners in five different categories based only on ribbon colors associated with different entries.
In a new twist this year, event organizers added a "Best in Show" category for both Judge's Choice and People's Choice balloting. That award will go to the single best dish across all the categories—cream of crab soup, other crab soup, crab dip, crab cake, and crab specialty dish.
As the event approaches, organizers were still finalizing the lineup of participating restaurants. Downtown Cambridge restaurants signed up for the contest include Jimmie & Sook's Raw Bar & Grill, Bistro Poplar, and "The High Spot," the tentative name for a brand new restaurant getting ready to open in the coming months on High Street.
Two restaurants at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Resort will be competing—the Water's Edge Grill and the Blue Point Provision Company.
Four other Dorchester County restaurants have signed on as well. These are Ocean Odyssey; Clearview at Horns Point; University Restaurant; and Kay's at the Airport. Additional restaurants may be added at the last minute.
"At Cambridge Main Street, we're really proud to deliver this showcase event for both downtown restaurants—and our restaurants doing business around the county," said Jim Duffy, executive director of Cambridge Main Street. "Our chefs perform at such a high level—they're a real asset to our community."
For more information about Taste of Cambridge, visit www.cambridgemainstreet.com.
Advance tickets are available at the Dorchester County Visitors Center, 2 Rose Hill Place; A Few of My Favorite Things, 414 Race Street; and the Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce, 528 Poplar Street. Phone orders can be placed at 410-228-3575.

Livewire : Issue 1
When you are ill there are just not as many things to laugh about as before.You are in pain, or a lot of discomfort. Things just aren't as funny as they used to be. But there is something that always makes me laugh - thinking about all my experiences in the hospital! Things that then would have seemed horrible are a big joke now! My mum and I are always talking about all the things that I have done, seen, and heard while being in the hospital! It always makes us both laugh so hard, that our sides hurt.You always feel better after having a good laugh! I remember the time that I was in a hospital room with six beds. My mum and I were busy watching some TV, when the family of a girl in one of the other beds arrived. She had a huge family!!! Ever y day four or five of them would come and visit her. They were ver y loud, and talked about the other family members, how this one did this, or that one did that. My mom and I tried not to listen, but they talked so loud, that everyone in the room could hear them. Then I told my mum, If we can hear all their business, then they can always hear all ours!!! I don't know why that was so funny, but it was, and once we had started to laugh, we couldn't stop! We laughed so hard, for so long, I am sure everyone else in the room was looking at us, and thinking that we were crazy! Another thing that makes me laugh is thinking about those beautiful hospital gowns they give us to wear before an procedure. Or the delicious hospital food they bring to us on a platter. How lucky are we to get breakfast in bed ever y day! The wonderful fried eggs that taste like rubber, or the unflavoured mash! What wonderful memories we all have to laugh about! By -Olivia- truly is the best medicine. livewire.org..au 9 "Livewire has been amazing, ever yone on there is so comfort- ing and it's nice because in one way or another were all the same and we can all relate to each other. I thank Livewire for this." – Jessie LW_08-013_Connection.indd 9 6/8/10 11:43:06 AM

Alright, before I begin writing about the dreams I had, I want to note something that I found very interesting. Maybe a little weird. I don't know. In the blog post titled "I Love College...and Zombies?" I was dreaming about the college I was supposed to attend this fall and I am currently going to classes there. There was one part of my dream where I was talking to a particular girl, and I remember her face..."Eventually, I was on my way back to the guy dorms. Some girl was coming up from them and she looked at me, but didn't want me to think she was a slut or something and said "I was just using the restrooms there, the girls are broken" and I was making small talk with her and I said something like "hey, don't I know you?" and she really did look familiar, but I didn't know her. Again, I felt Alpha because she was flirting with me pretty bad." The weird part about all of this is that...in my new college, I met this girl for real. I didn't realize it at first, until she was smiling at me. I remember the girl in my dreams smile above everything else. The girl from my college is now my new friend and we enjoy each other company, but I think it's very weird, and almost impossible that I had a dream about her before I met her. Probably some psychological mind trick going on. I thought I would record this down though, since this is a blog about dreams.
Dream One
I was at some kind of amusement park with a few of my friends having a good time, and I realized my girlfriend was also there. I told my friends I was going to go look for her and I left them and began searching. Eventually, I found her in a hotel room inside the amusement park and she said she was staying there with her family and was very happy to see me. Her dad came back to the hotel room from wherever he was and was very pissed off to see me standing there talking to his daughter. There was also another woman there who was fighting with my girlfriends family because she had claimed that the hotel room was actually hers and that they had stole it. Eventually they just decided to share it. I started to leave, when all of a sudden the room started to flood. I grabbed my girlfriend and was able to swim out of there with her. That's all I can really remember.
Dream Two
I was at a horse racing track, and everything seemed like an opening for a movie. I saw a known mobster with his grand daughter. He dropped his bet ticket on the ground because his grand daughter was playing with it, and I picked it up and handed it to him. I saw the horse he had bet on and saw that the payout was $44 Million. I had a feeling that the race was going to be fixed, so I ran up to the betting window where my mom was and told her to bet on that horse. I couldn't get through the crowd so I had yelled to her and she heard me, but so did the mobster. Eventually, the horse won and the $44 Million prize was split up between me and the mobster (even though this is obviously not how betting works). He was very angry to only get half the prize and told me to give him my half or he'd take it. I ran from him and he sent a bunch of his gang after me.
Eventually, I found myself hiding in a mall, disguised in security guard clothes along with two dream friends who I had never actually met before. Eventually, the mobsters found us and shot one of my friends. Me and my other friend eventually hid up in the ceiling, and ended up staying there for a few years. Time passed and one day while I was out getting what I could only assume was groceries, they had found my other friend and killed him. I was completely destroyed by this and thought it was time to end all of this. I went to the mobsters hideout and I handed him the ticket for the rest of his money. He was still going to kill me, but I think I killed him first. However, all of the money was lost as well. In the end, I lost both of my friends and all of the money. I guess there is a lesson to be learned there.
Dream Three
I was entered into some kind of poker tournament and had gotten really far in it. Me and my girlfriend were both at the same table, as well as a bunch of other kids who would be known as my "team". For some reason, even though we were playing against each other, we were supposed to be working together. I was dealing first, and was being a complete idiot because I had half of the cards facing up and the other half facing down. I also took half of the deck and put it into my hand by mistake. I told them I was going to fold that hand because I had screwed up so bad. Eventually me and one of the other kids got into a big fight about something, and I left for a bit to find a bathroom. My girlfriend came with me and we ended up in some parking lot with a bunch of stores around us. She left to go find a bathroom and I stayed behind with her stuff, but then I started getting woozy because I needed an insulin injection (even though I'm not diabetic in real life, I guess I was in this dream). I started crawling towards the needle that I needed before my girlfriend eventually saved me. I had said something like "I thought you didn't love me anymore." and she assured me that she still did.
I headed back to where the tournament was supposed to be, but ended up in a place that looked kind of like my house. There was a bunch of gang members there (they didn't really look like gang members...more like mafia, but not italian). They wanted something from me and I couldn't give it to them. Eventually, one of the guys shot me in the back, and I saw the bullet hole on my stomach. I put pressure there and begged them not to kill my family because they had nothing to do with it, and they had gotten me. They were about to kill my younger brother when everything rewound, and I was standing there being asked to give them what they were looking for. I told them it was in my room and I ran in there and locked my door. While the man who originally shot me was trying to get in, I picked up my baseball bat and began to search for my airsoft gun under my bed. I eventually found it and when the man came in I put the gun to his head, and thinking it was a real gun he dropped his weapon. I picked it up, shot him and then a gun fight broke out between me and the mob guys. Eventually, I managed to get out of there with the help of a few police officers.
When I made it back to the tournament, I sat down next to the kid who I got into a fight with. I told him I was very sorry that things had gotten out of hand and begged his forgiveness, telling him that if we were going to get through this we were going to need to work together. He accepted my apology, but as he did, we were no longer playing a card game. Instead, we were in a huge battle with a giant worm like creature. We were fighting with everything we had, and eventually lost, but we were able to try again. I'm not sure if we won or lost, because I woke up.

Dishing Junk – The act of dispensing ideas of little value in a casual or silly manner.
The Dumbest Reasons People Have Told Me "They Don't Read"
"I don't have enough time to read."
Bullshit. Most of the people that say this to me will also want to discuss their favorite television show. I understand some people are just freakishly busy, like my neighbor, who trains for the MS run and bikes literally three hours a day to train. I got it — but I also got something for her — AUDIOBOOKS… nice right? Might not be as stimulating as I Got The Power, but I try.
"I can't read fast enough."
So? This is because you don't read! I guess we should all give up so easily, right? If you can't just speed through the gate, why even try? Quitter.
"Nothing is that interesting to waste that much time."
Yeah, but f***ing Candy Crush Saga is so very stimulating.
"I read. I just read your status report and your last tweet."
"I'm just not a book kind of person."
I can understand this, I'm just not a stupid person, kind of person.
"I can't sit still for that long."
Did you just call me fat?
"Reading is boring."
I'm sorry, why don't you go back to watching REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ILLITERACY COUNTY, that might stimulate you a bit more.
"Reading is a nerdy hobby."
So is thinking.
"The big words stump me."
Maybe start back at the beginning. Can I recommend ONE FISH, TWO FISH by Dr. Suess, a classic.
Stop looking at me funny, I just like to read.
I am so sick of people looking at me like I'm a freak because I like to read and read about 100 books a year. I'm not looking at everyone else because they watch 4+ hours of television a night, or they spend a few hours playing video games on their iPhone or gaming system a day.
"That's not normal." A relative told me at a party this past weekend. Judge much? I guess it isn't normal, considering what is it? 25% of the US population does not read a single book a year… not even one. Another 29% did read a book this year, it was FIFTY SHADES OF GRAY. Don't ask me for my statistics I read them somewhere. About 17% of the population actually read more then 20 books a year. Probably putting my statistic of 100+ books a year at a >1% standing. Hmm…I guess it isn't normal. FML.
Yet, I would never think to blatantly look at someone and say their hobby "Is not normal." BUT IT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME!!!! And not just by my ridiculously forthright relatives. This happens with parents of children at my kids school all the time. The ones that complain about how much their kids have to read for the lessons. "How could they possibly read this much?" One parent complained to me at a birthday party. I don't know, mine does it just fine, she loves to read, but then she sees me with a book in my hand constantly. Is that it? But, when I explain this, they look at me and the words come out, "Well, that's not normal."
I would never think to tell that to a parent of a child that likes to play Minecraft for hours on end. Parents bragging that it's "creative" and how they are using it to teach certain subjects in high school. What? Never mind. Ooh yeah, go Minecraft. It's creative! (That was sarcasm) I see nothing wrong with Minecraft, but don't look at me like my reading habits are just "odd." Go back to your Candy Crush Saga while your kid plays that other time-suck game. I often wonder why I have a low opinion of my fellow human beings, I shouldn't wonder. Our book nerd posse isn't in the "fellow human being" category IMHO.
Love you guys, keep reading, fight ignorance.

Regulations? "We don't need no stinking regulations!"
No two communities have the exact same regulation over the delivery of taxicab or car service. However, let's list a few regulations Uber does not want to be subject to:
1. minimum insurance levels;
2. operate vehicles that meet minimum standards;
3. deal with customer complaints;
4. manage driver background checks and be responsible for driver motor vehicle record checks;
5. mandate that the industry offer service 24 hours per day, seven days per week;
6. requirement to service all the community, not just the affluent areas;
7. set fares;
8. provide a method for enforcement of rules of regulations;
Well, just like not wanting to be called a "transportation company" and not wanting to provide appropriate "liability levels" and not taking "financial responsibility" for their business, guess what? Uber does not want to follow local regulations either! Surprise …surprise!!
Uber would prefer to serve "who they want, when they want, and charge what they want." That way, they can service only the most profitable customers and leave the really difficult trips to the "highly regulated taxi industry".
A little more detail into why a few of these regulations exist:
Most municipalities set the rate taxicab companies can charge. They do this because the very nature of "demand response" transportation suggests that the passenger, in many instances, is not shopping for the service. In other words, the passenger may be an uninformed consumer. In contrast to this position, Uber has a history of charging peak demand pricing during peak times. Not only do they set the rates as they deem necessary, they have, at times, changed their published rates in a town when the town was experiencing high demand. Some would call this "price gouging".
Most local ordinances mandate a public meter to determine passenger fare pricing. This way, the passenger can see how much they are spending while they are spending it. In most instances, the operation of the meter is inspected by the local or state government to ensure its accuracy. In the Uber model, the passenger has no way of determining the fare until their individual smart phone tells them the fare at the end of the trip. The Uber calculated fare is a complicated algorithm that includes a base rate, plus a distance rate unless the vehicle is traveling under 11 mph, then the rate changes to a base rate, plus a time rate. This is similar to how most taxicab meters operate, except the operation of the meter is public and fare calculation is inspected, as opposed to a fare simply appearing on your smart phone.

I finally have my plan to teach this month's song 'I Will Follow God's Plan'. It's nothing extraordinary or unique. I found lots of ideas and just put together what will work for me. I really want to focus on the words and message of the song.
I'm going to start by showing them a gift and telling them that inside is a precious gift that all the money in the world can't buy but we each have one. When we open it, there is a card inside that says, 'My LIFE'. We'll then talk about what that means. Next I'll place several picture/word cards around the room. As I sing the song, I'll touch the heads of children to go get a card and put on the board in order of the song. I'm only doing the chorus with my Jr. kids the first week and my Sr. kiddos know this song pretty well. So I have an activity we will play with the cards, kind of like 'What's Missing'.
I also made a flip chart using most of the same pictures for a review later in the year.
Click HERE to download my lesson plan.
Click HERE to download the gift tag.
Click HERE to download the picture/word cards.
Click HERE to download the flip chart.
Hopefully, some of this will work for you.
Happy Singing!

Wavelet scalar quantization
The Wavelet Scalar Quantization algorithm (WSQ) is a compression algorithm used for gray-scale fingerprint images. It is based on wavelet theory and has become a standard for the exchange and storage of fingerprint images. WSQ was developed by the FBI, the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
This compression method is preferred over standard compression algorithms like JPEG because at the same compression ratios WSQ doesn't present the "blocking artifacts" and loss of fine-scale features that are not acceptable for identification in financial environments and criminal justice. [1]
Most American law enforcement agencies use WSQ for efficient storage of compressed fingerprint images at 500 pixels per inch (ppi). For fingerprints recorded at 1000 ppi, law enforcement (including the FBI) uses JPEG 2000 instead of WSQ.[2]
