Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- A U.S. Senate proposal that requires the Pentagon to sign a fixed-price contract with Lockheed Martin Corp. for a future lot of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters may result in fewer aircraft at a higher price, an Air Force official told a congressional panel today.
The Senate Armed Services Committee included a provision in its 2012 defense authorization bill that requires the Defense Department to use a fixed-price contract with an incentive fee for low-rate initial production of the fifth F-35 lot. That would require Lockheed to absorb 100 percent of costs "above the target cost specified in the contract."
The Senate may start debating the defense authorization bill as early as next week.
The Senate provision "will not have the desired effect of controlling costs," Lieutenant General Herbert Carlisle, deputy chief of staff for Air Force operations, plans and requirements, said in a statement prepared for a House Armed Services Committee hearing on aviation programs.
A fixed-price contract or a fixed-price contract with an incentive fee "will result in a higher unit price and likely result in the purchase of fewer aircraft," he said.
"Additionally, contract negotiations under those two contract vehicle scenarios would likely be contentious and protracted, possibly resulting in production line perturbations," he said.
Lockheed Chief Executive Officer Robert Stevens last week called for the government to fund the fifth lot "without delay." Negotiations for the batch should begin "as soon as we possibly can" and Lockheed wants them "completed by the end of the year," he said.

TSMC to ramp up 16nm production early next year for Apple's A9 chip
08/25, 12:50pm
Firm already tied to A8 production
Even though the A8-based iPhone 6 has yet to ship, TSMC is already preparing to ramp up production on its 16nm lines to meet demand for the A9 processor, according to Chinese-language publication the Economic Daily News. The company is said to have been targeting 16nm volume production for the second quarter of 2015, but moved its schedule up to the first. Although A9 chips probably won't roll off assembly lines until later next year, TSMC will allegedly be ready to churn out 50,000 16nm wafers a month starting in Q1.

Raising Gizmo
Tumblr theme by ahhfred
What is this holiday you speak of? You say I get toys. Can I have toys now?
During our camping trip (previous post) I got some cute macro pics of Gizmo while he was sleeping. This one (his smushieface) is currently the background on my phone. So cute.
This is possibly the cutest Gizmo post in a while! While we were on our walk yesterday evening, we ran into a 3.5 month old lab/pinscher mix and I couldn't resist… puppy playtime!!! They tumbled, played, licked, chased (as much as possible on a leash) for about 10-15 minutes. Then they both got treats and it was time to go. I couldn't pull him away, but then a minute later he realized he was exhausted and lay down. I had to carry him the remaining block home. He absolutely refused to walk. In any case, too cute!!!
We went for a short walk during lunch, and since today is much warmer than it has been for the past few days, as soon as we got back to our cool shady front lawn, someone decided to lie down and play dead.
"It's raining, it's pouring, the puppy is snoring…"
This has been a rather boring week in the dog-world due to the incessant rain. We have gotten a few walks in between the downpours, otherwise he's entertained with non-stop squeaking of his tennis ball (oh he's so proud he can squeak the ball… it's cute!) and indoor games of fetch.
Napping on a sunny patch of grass is a great way to spend a nice, Saturday afternoon.
Yesterday, Gizmo's right ear popped up, and seeing as it's still up this morning, I think it's here to stay. So stinkin' cute! Though I guess he won't have floppy little ears forever?
Gizmo, at 15 weeks, finally starts making a happy face!
Either that, or he's going mad. Hard to tell.
And now for some lunchtime cuteness ^_^
NOT happy about miserable cloudy dark wet rainy Saturday…
not happy.

The process of shopping for a new home can be nerve-wracking. Finding the right property, ensuring that financing is in place and completing the negotiation process can be difficult.
Here are five tips that can be used to ease the process of buying a home:
Get Pre-Approved
Getting pre-approved for a mortgage helps to set the budget when shopping for a home. Scheduling a visit with a financial institution can help to begin the pre-approval process. The documents required to apply for the mortgage include bank statements, proof of employment and identification.
Set the Budget
Setting the budget is not as simple as shopping in the range of the amount of the pre-approval. Take into account the price of the home with the cost of the monthly or bi-weekly payments that are going to be required for the mortgage. Finding a number that is affordable within the budget is essential but how much can you afford? Experts recommend spending a maximum of thirty five percent of the income on housing costs, with an average of twenty eight percent.
Choose a Location
It is likely that the city has been narrowed down, but to make shopping for a new home easier, it's important to narrow down the community where the home is going to be purchased. This can decrease the search area by up to fifty percent; helping to reduce the amount of time spent looking for homes in the wrong area. Do not just say, "I want to look at real estate in Detroit, MI. Pick a community in the Detroit area that interests you. To search for homes by location, use the map search features that are available through MLS services, finding the right home that's also in the right area.
Make a List
Make a list of the must-have and the nice-to-have features of the home. Making this list can help to narrow down the homes that are being considered. Some of the must-have items include a minimum number of bedrooms, minimum amount of living space and even a minimum number of bathrooms. Other features that are considered nice to have may include aesthetic features, or a large outdoor living space, walk-in closets or an office. Making a list of the features that are required in the home, as well as those that would be a bonus can help to narrow down the choice of homes available.
Choose the Right Real Estate Agent
Working with a real estate agent to buy a home isn't necessary but it can help to reduce the leg-work while searching for a home. Real estate agents can provide the expertise needed to negotiate the price, plan for home inspections, and the knowledge that is required to complete the paperwork while submitting an offer. Working with a real estate agent can help to ease the entire process of buying a home and helps buyers to find the right home for their need.
Taking measures to reduce the stress of house hunting and reducing the stress of financing can be simple, following these five tips. Use them to reduce the stress that comes from your own process of buying a new home.

The Sikh Gurdwara San Jose was founded in the Early Eighties by former president Jit Singh Bainiwal and Teja Singh, and late Baba Pyara Singh Obhi..
Jit Singh Bainiwal, Teja Singh, and late Pyara Singh Obhi along with the other dedicated sevadars from the community founded the Sikh Gurdwara San Jose in 1984. The South Bay Sikh Community was growing rapidly and there was an urgent need for a local Gurdwara for the congregation to attend. Initially the Gurdwara held smagam's at a local community center. In 1986 after enormous obstacles the Gurdwara Committee purchased a small building on White Road. Within a few months the Gurdwara Committee realized that the building was too small for Sangat. In 1990 the Gurdwara Committee purchased a parcel of land at 2785 Quimby Road, and then bought other two adjacent parcels over the next few years, which brought the total land owned by Gurdwara to about 5 acres. In 1993-94 the Gurdwara Committee under the leadership of Jit Singh Bainiwal and Bhuphindar (BOB) Singh Dhillon along with other committee members determined that it would not be efficient due to the future growth of the Sadh Sangat. Keeping things in perspective the resident's surroundings and the future needs of a larger Divan Hall and parking for the sadh Sangat was a must. There were also City and County requirements that would not have met the needs of the Gurdwara.
Mr. Bhuphindar Singh Dhillon's vision came a reality after looking at many properties Bob Dhillon the current General Secretary found our current home which is located at 3636 Murillo Avenue. The property is located in the Evergreen Hills of San Jose, California. This property sits on forty acres and has beautiful views of the bay and city lights at night. This will be the largest Gurdwara in North America.
The First phase was completed in 2004 with the entire infrastructure for 12 Million Dollars. The Second Phase is now completed with cost of 20 Million Dollars. Bhupinder Singh Dhillon along with the current committee member are thankful for all of the support of the Sadh Sangat to make this the most beautiful Gurdwara in the world.

[Possible Spoiler Alert!] Jane Lynch wears a wedding veil as she heads to the set of Glee with co-stars Cory Monteith, Mark Salling, Heather Morris, and Harry Shum Jr in Los Angeles on Friday, January 18.
The cast is currently filming the Valentine's Day episode titled "I Do" which will feature a wedding. While fans suspect it's the impending nuptials of Will and Emma, executive producer Dante Di Loreto recently teased:
"It's fair to say that there is romance in the air, there is a wedding in the air and what is exciting about the show is there's certain things about the show that are undeniable. … There are also some things that are going to shock the heck out of you. That's the really fun part and that's what's coming down the pike."
Hhhmm…is Sue tying the knot or is this just a decoy?

- Natalie Wood as Judy in Rebel without a Cause
Van Fleet made her film debut in East of Eden, based on John Steinbeck's 1952 novel, a modern retelling of the story of Cain and Abel. She gives a disturbing performance as an aging "Eve," the madam of a brothel and mother of Cal (James Dean, AAN, in his first film) and Aron. Van Fleet had studied under Elia Kazan (who directed Eden) and Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio and went on to have a long and successful career in film, theater, and television, often portraying characters older than herself. She debuted on Broadway in 1946 in The Winter's Tale and was awarded a Tony when she starred in The Trip to Bountiful in 1953. She continued to work through the 1960s, appearing in films such as Cool Hand Luke (1967) and I Love You, Alice B. Toklas (1968), but performed less frequently in the 1970s and '80s.

Attention artists! and promoters!
Put all your press material ready we have a great tool coming out in 36 hours! Hold your eyes on www.thebalticscene.eu
Ruutu Poiss (EE) is one of the members in Estonian skaters crew Haigla. Presumably influenced by the continuesly changing sights while cruising the city on his skateboard, Ruutu Poiss produces airy, light, rhythmical originalmusic with synths and drum machines.
As a special guest he performs at the next Haigla Pidu (review about the last one with Inga Copeland) tonight in Tallinn at F-Hoone.
Labvakar, we have just arrived in Helsinki and haven't seen much of it. But, we have really cosy hostel all 4 in one bed and also everything is automatic. Haven't seen anything like that before. Last night's show was loud, but nice and we want to say big thanks to Id Rev and also the museum of contemporary art of Estonia. The public was great as well, especially the guy in front of the audience. After that the ferry "Baltic Princess" entertained us until the next tour place - Helsinki. The sunset was very nice. Especially in the combination with vine named "Heartbeats". That's it for now. We are waiting for tomorrow's concert and enjoying our evening off here. From Latvians with love. St.Z
Greetings form hostel Flying Kiwi in the heart of old Tallin. There
was very nice concert yesterday in Kaņepes Kultūras Centrs and finally we heard our Estonian and Swedish collegues. They really sound great. Then we packed all our staff and realised that there are lot more gear than we expected but in the end we fixed all the small problems and we are here safe and sound. The concert place in Tallin looks pretty awesome and we are quite sure that tonight there will be some nice gigs including ours. That's it for now. We'll keep you updated.
From Latvians with love. St.z. p.s. here are some photos from last night http://www.easyget.lv/foto/gallery/3545/
Greetings from Tallinn. So we´re just about to start the tour. Waiting for the van to arrive to start packing these precious little gadgets that make us all so much pleasure. And by that I mean our gear - amps and synthesizers, all of them. Unfortunately one of our main synths went broke couple of days ago so we had to re-arrange a bit. Well let´s hope for the best and see you on tour (sorry for the shortpost, the van just arrived, time for action). Cheers.
Neeme, Id Rev
Last weekend hundreds of people in Tallinn, Estonia set their course towards an old mystical power plant named Kultuurikatel between the Old Town and the Port of the city to become a part of Stalker Festival – "a unique environment focusing on music, architecture and a strange world of its own where the everyday rules are void", as the organizers promised beforehand. And thinking back now I feel that they actually managed to deliver that too.
First, it is amazing what they had managed to do with the power plant itself - I have been there before for several times, but somehow it felt completely different building this time. Just imagine a huge cold dark stonewalled surrounding with 3 different levels for musical artists, at least 5-6 different levels for visitors to walk around and endless walls and levels and spaces for visual artists to play around with lasers and lights and stairs and things hanging down from the ceiling. In random corners you could notice people dressed in white costumes, faces painted white just staring at you, when I looked up some metal stairs I saw a purple-glowing dancer going crazy and when I finally managed to reach the basement area downstairs, it looked like teenage mutant ninja turtles were having a rave there, honestly.
And then there was the music. The artist catalogue listed up 20 different names, mostly from Estonia, but also some foreign ones. Frankly I couldn't manage to see and hear all of them because first I had chosen some highlights for myself that I really wanted to see and secondly it got quite cold and too loud for my ears as the night progressed (although the organizers had advised people to dress warm and wear earplugs!).
My evening started magically with Rasmus Lill (above), who has been a favourite of mine for some time now. You might know his genius work already from the bands Kosmofon or Zebra Island, this time he presented his "intimate electronic soloproject" as he calls it and I have to agree - it is intimate! It even felt intimate in the huge cold space of the power plant that had just started to fill up with wondering visitors. Although a bit dark and mechanical at times, his music somehow has this warm hopeful feel to it, that really gets me. I guess I have to write a longer review about the music of Rasmus Lill soon.
The second highlight for me was the performance of Talis Paide and Andres Lõo - two great artists known already years for their several musical projects (for example Talis with Kosmosepealinn and State of Zoe, Andres with Luarvik Luarvik and Opium Flirt). But it was the first time I have heard or seen these two doing something together on the stage and I really liked it. As both of them can be considered masters of synthesizers (alongside with Rasmus Lill mentioned above), their performance had ofcourse strong influence from the beats and sounds of the 80s disco (my favourite!), but at the same time they also intrigued listeners with more heavier and modern basslines and some broken beats. Andres Lõo is probably one of the most charismatic vocalist with oh-so-sexy powerful bariton voice and body moves to make your knees weak instantly. Hopefully their first performance together was not the last one and I really wouldn't mind listening to their music in a recorded version as well.
I won't try to describe here what happened at the festival next, when King Midas Sound from the UK got on the stage - things got slightly crazy at least for a moment and this all truly fitted into the Stalker atmosphere, but I guess you had to be there to understand. In short and in general - Stalker Festival really wasn't a mere music festival, it actually turned into a strange world of its own where the everyday rules were void.

By TOM COYNEAssociated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Tommy Rees threw for 235 yards and a touchdown, Cam McDaniel rushed for a career-high 117 yards and Notre Dame bounced back from a disappointing loss to beat BYU 23-13 on Saturday.
Rees got the Fighting Irish (8-3) going with a 61-yard touchdown pass to DaVaris Daniels on Notre Dame's first possession, then set up a 2-yard TD run by Tarean Folston with a 30-yard pass to TJ Jones. Kyle Brindza kicked a 51-yard field goal and a pair of 26-yard field goals for the Irish.
BYU (7-4), which got a 7-yard TD pass from Taysom Hill to JD Falslev in the first quarter, closed to 20-13 when Justin Sorensen kicked a 27-yard field goal with 39 seconds left in the third quarter, but couldn't get any closer.
Hill passed for 168 yards and he and Paul Lasike each rushed for 101 yards for BYU.

Sunset's April 1975 recipe for Russian Cream—and English food writer Josceline Dimbleby's recipe for Athenian Jelly—inspired Niloufer Ichaporia King to make this dessert. It's perfect after Parsi food and very much in character with it. Serve with cookies if you like. Prep and Cook Time: 20 minutes, plus 1 hour of chilling time. Notes: We used a 6-in. cake pan for the mold, but you can use anything from a plain metal mixing bowl to a fancy crenellated pudding bowl. Or pour the yogurt into small bowls to make individual servings. Find rose water in Middle Eastern markets, and look for Middle Eastern, French, and Italian brands over Indian ones—they have better flavor. Rose petals are edible if they're pesticide-free; pluck from your garden if you haven't sprayed, or ask for them at your local farmers' market flower vendors.
Sunset JUNE 2008
1. Put gelatin and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and let soften for a few minutes. Meanwhile, pour cream and vanilla into a medium bowl and use an electric mixer to whip the mixture into soft peaks.
2. Heat gelatin mixture gently over low heat until gelatin dissolves completely. Stir in honey and salt; remove from heat.
3. Whisk yogurt in a medium bowl. Whisk some yogurt into gelatin-honey mixture; then whisk that mixture into rest of yogurt. Fold whipped cream into yogurt mixture and pour into a 6-in. cake pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until set, at least 1 hour.
4. Combine strawberries, sugar, and rose water in a small bowl and mix gently. (If you'd like a bit of syrup, let mixture sit for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.)
5. To unmold, dip underside of cake pan in a large bowl of hot water for a minute or so. Remove from water and set a serving plate face down on top. Holding plate in place, quickly invert cake pan to release jelly (tap pan if necessary). Top with strawberries and rose petals.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.

The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's latest waterproof flagship smartphone, picking up where the Z2 left off. Like that phone it's 4K capable and also offers an atypically-large 1/2.3"-type sensor. Just like the Z2, that's a 20.7MP Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor nestling behind a 27mm equivalent F2.0 lens. All this has encouraged Sony to offer ISO 12,800, which it says is the highest of any smartphone. Learn more about how it performs

When Panasonic came to see us recently in our Seattle offices we were expecting the much-rumored LX8. That didn't happen, but what we saw was quite a surprise. The LX100 is one of Panasonic's most ambitious cameras yet, marrying a Four Thirds sensor with a 24-75mm (equivalent) F1.7-2.8 lens, in a body not much bigger than that of the LX7. Full manual control, a built-in EVF and 4K video round-out the specification sheet nicely. Click through for a hands-on tour of the new camera.
One swallow does not a summer make, said Aristotle, suggesting the dangers of looking for trends based on single examples. Even with this in mind, I'm pleased to see two manufacturers introduce 70-200mm equivalent zooms for APS-C cameras at this year's Photokina. First Fujifilm introduced its 50-140mm F2.8 R, and then Samsung followed suit with its 50-150mm F2.8 S. I think these lenses make more sense than actual 70-200mms; let me explain why...
September 19
One of the exciting new cameras here at Photokina is the Canon Powershot G7 X, a pocketable compact camera with a large 1"-type sensor. We caught up with Canon's Chuck Westfall who gave us an overview of the G7 X and let us know when it should be available. See video
With the introduction of the NX1 mirrorless camera, Samsung has put a stake in the ground of the photography market. We stop by the Samsung booth to learn more about the NX1, a new 50-150mm F2.8 image stabilized lens, and also get a peek at the company's "technology demonstration" 300mm F2.8 lens. See video
The death of the point-and-shoot compact has been disastrous for all the major camera manufacturers, but it's not all bad news. Manufacturers are clambering over themselves to offer the most attractive features to the last group of people willing to pay for a good camera, spurring the kind of innovation we've not seen in a long time. Find out why we think photographers are reaping the greatest benefits from the decline of the point-and-shoot. Read more

In our latest from-the-show-floor video, we visit the Fujifilm booth at Photokina 2014 to learn more about the Fujifilm X100T, the newest member of the company's ultra-premium compact camera family. See video
Behind Nikon's Photokina 2014 stand is the Ricoh booth, the most colorful we've seen thus far. It's not the design of the booth that's colorful. Rather, it's the dozens of color combinations available for the company's DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. The waterfall in front was pretty cool, too. Take the tour.
We caught up with Tamron at Photokina 2014 to get a peek at the new 15-30mm F2.8 ultra-wide angle zoom. It's designed to cover a full frame sensor and was shown to us in a late prototype form, though its official launch date is unconfirmed. We also got some hands-on time with the manufacturer's latest all-in-one zoom lenses as well as the always-impressively-huge 150-600mm F5-6.3. Read more
The stars of Sigma's booth at this years Photokina were two new telezoom lenses - 'C' and 'S' versions of a 150-600mm F/5-6.3 DG OS HSM aimed at enthusiasts and sports / wildlife professionals, respectively. The company was also showing off its new 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM 'C' for APS-C DSLRs. We headed to the company's stand on our final day at the show, and got our hands on the new gear (except the stuff behind glass). Click through to see more.
The Polaroid Socialmatic was first announced a while ago but is still in development and expected to ship sometime later this year. However, at the Polaroid stand in Hall 5.2 Photokina visitors can already get their hands on a few prototypes and play with the unique device. The Socialmatic combines a 14MP camera, an Android smart device and a Polaroid Zero Ink technology printer. Click through to read more.
Fujifilm announced two cameras on the runup to Photokina - the X100T and X30. But the company is also showing off mockups of several new lenses, slated for release next year. We sat down with senior executives from Fujifilm earlier today, and got our hands on the samples. Click through to take a look at what's in store.
The Olympus booth was relatively quiet compared to the madhouses at Nikon and Canons' stands, which made it easier to get up close and personal with the company's new lenses. We also took a look at some of their recent cameras, and have a few cutaways, as well. Read more.
In this video from Photokina, Panasonic's Matt Frazer walks us through the features of the new Lumix DMC-LX100 compact camera. Matt also explains Panasonic's use of a multi-aspect four thirds sensor, discusses lens design and manufacture, and explains the camera's 4K video capabilities. See video
We swung by Nikon's Photokina 2014 stand to see the new D750 in action and investigate what else the company has in store for show attendees. The booth itself is a bit less flashy than some of the competitions, and distinctly lacking in cars and ladies wearing sequins, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't make an impression.

How does the idea of capturing 100 19MP Raw files per second sound? That's what RED's latest camera, the RED Dragon can do, courtesy of its 6K video capture mode. Fully modular, the RED Dragon can be adapted to accept a multitude of lens mounts, and although intended for professional movie shooting, its still image quality is seriously impressive too. We got a quick tour of RED's latest magic machines at the company's stand.

Canon has been busy - its latest high-end compact, the PowerShot G7 X slots in beneath the G1 X Mark II, and offers a 20MP 1'-type sensor, 24-100mm equivalent F1.8-2.8 zoom lens and a host of other enthusiast-friendly features. We spoke to Canon recently and got access to a pre-production G7 X. Click through for a hands-on tour of the new camera.
Join us for a video interview with Canon's Chuck Westfall, Technical Advisor at Canon U.S.A.'s Professional Engineering and Solutions Division, in which he talks us through some of the features of the new EOS 7D Mark II DSLR, introduced this week at Photokina.
The Relonch camera combines an APS-C sensor with an extremely simple UI and attaches to your iPhone, using your phone for display, image processing, storage, and sharing. A bright F2.0 lens ensures low-light performance. At an output resolution of only 1MP, it's a niche product, but the concept is exciting. Click through to learn more.
We got a chance to shoot with a pre-release beta of Canon's EOS 7D Mark II, so we grabbed it. We have prepared a 23 image gallery from a Canon event running at the Photokina show in Cologne. Although the image quality hasn't been entirely finalized, this should give some first impressions of what that camera can do. We've included a sequence of 10fps shooting.

Samsung's hall is a far cry from the over-the-top extravaganza that is its CES booth. There are big tables for every camera it produces, usually paired with smartphones. In fact, it felt like their stand was as much about mobile devices as it was with cameras. The camera that everyone was playing with was the NX1, and we took a look at that as well as a 300mm telephoto prime concept. Click through to read more.
Creative Live is currently hosting Photo Week - six days of free photography classes.

Leica announced two new M-series rangefinders at this year's Photokina, in addition to the Digital M-P released last month. The German company also unveiled a new medium-format S, which as well as high-resolution stills can capture 4K video. Naturally, we headed over to the Leica booth to get our grubby hands all over the new cameras. Click through to see more.
It's the second day of the photography industry's biggest tradeshow and we paid a visit to the Sony booth. Hoping to catch a glimpse of the Alpha QX1 'lens-style camera' paired with a gigantic 70-200mm lens, Sony did not disappoint us. We also got our hands on a pair of new lenses. Take a look around Sony's Photokina 2014 stand with us. Read more
Leica released two new X-series cameras at Photokina this year - the X and X-E. The X-E is an update to the X-2, and the 'X' is the flagship model. The Leica X features a 35mm equivalent F1.7 lens - answering the long-standing request from X-1 and X-2 owners for a faster lens. Click through to see (and learn) more.
Panasonic announced some exciting products at Photokina, including the DMC-LX100 premium compact, tiny DMC-GM5 Micro Four Thirds ILC, and top secret CM1 smartphone/camera hybrid. Let's take a walk through the Panasonic booth. Click to read more.

The D750 is Nikon's latest full-frame DSLR, and sits between the D610 and D810 in the company's FX format lineup. With specifications in common with both cameras, the D750 may be of interest to anyone considering stepping up to full-frame from one of Nikon's APS-C format models. As well as our detailed first impressions review we've prepared a quick 'cheat sheet', telling you everything you need to know about the new camera. Click through to read more.
If posts to our news articles and forums are any indication, one of the most exciting announcements from Photokina is the Canon G7 X, a genuinely pocketable camera with a large 1"-type sensor. In this video DPReview's Richard Butler takes us through a preview of the G7 X and gives us an idea of what to expect from it.
Leica has announced a new X-series camera with an F1.7 lens. The Leica X (Typ 113) continues to use a 16MP APS-C sensor and offer a 35mm equivalent lens but now with a considerably faster aperture than the F2.8 of its forebear. The existing X2 model will essentially live on as the Leica X-E. The Typ 113 will cost around $2,295/£1,550.
Leica has announced the D-Lux (Typ 109), a compact camera with a 24-75mm equivalent, F1.7-2.8 zoom and a Four Thirds sensor. If those specifications sound familiar, it's probably because they're shared with the Panasonic LX100. The D-Lux will be available in November. A license for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is included.
It's hard to believe, but Leica's line of M rangefinders, which started with the M3 in 1954, has been around for 60 years. In celebration, Leica has announced the commemorative Leica M Edition 60 and matching Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH lens. Unlike other M digital models, the M Edition 60 lacks one significant feature: an LCD screen.
Leica has announced a complete replacement of its Summarit-M range with a family of F2.4 lenses. As before the Summarit-M range will comprise 35mm, 50mm, 75mm and 90mm focal lengths. The 35mm will be the first Summarit to include an aspheric lens element. The 75mm and 90mm will be available this month, with the other two following in October. All four lenses will be available in a choice of black or anodized silver finish.
Zeiss has announced its a Distagon T* 35mm F1.4 ZM lens for Leica M-mount bodies. The company describes the lens as being for professional reportage photography and points out that the wide maximum aperture 'ensures the photographer is independent from the ISO limitations of his camera.' The 35mm F1.4 ZM will be available in black or silver for a recommended price of €1679.84 or $2290 exc taxes.
Olympus is using Photokina to show a prototype 'Open Platform' camera module. Developed with the MIT Media Lab, the module is a Micro Four Thirds compatible unit that can be controlled from a smart device. Like Sony's QX series, the Olympus has its own shutter button but it also offers a hotshoe an is built around a more open software platform to allow developers to create apps to control it.
Canon's Photokina stand is popular as always. The company is eager to show off its EOS 7D Mark II to Photokina attendees, and the public in turn turned out to give the camera a try judging by the crowds at the booth. We took our turn handling the 7D II and checked out the booth. Click through to see more.
Fujifilm's giant green stand in Hall 4 at Koelnmesse is a place to get your hands on cameras, look at printer and film output and, of course, take pictures of models standing in front of expensive cars. Our stand report has a look at what's new with Fujifilm and has some fun photos, as well. Click through to read more.
We're here at Photokina in Germany, and one camera many people were eager to get their hands on was the the new Fujifilm X100T. As part of our tour of the company's stand (more like a ballroom), we got our mitts on Fujifilm's latest ultra-premium compact. Click through to see more.
Phase One has announced the release of Capture One Pro 8, the latest version of its Raw conversion and photo editing software. Capture One Pro 8 highlights include new adjustment tools such as local white balance, clone and heal repair layers to remove unwanted objects, and a film grain tool to mimic film stocks and add realistic grain to images.
The DPReview team (well, some of it) is in Cologne Germany for this year's Photokina trade show. Photokina is the biggest show in our industry, and happens every two years. This year we've seen a number of major products released from all of the biggest names including Canon, Nikon and Sony. The show opens in a few minutes, and we'll be here, reporting from the show floor and getting our hands on the new gear. Click through for a link to our full show coverage.

Panasonic has announced a smartphone with a 1 inch sensor. The Lumix DMC-CM1 comes with the largest imaging sensor we have seen on a smartphone - its 1-inch 20MP chip matching the sensors in premium compact cameras such as Sony's RX100 and Nikon's 1 series, being multiple times larger than the 1/3-inch sensors that are common on more conventional smartphones. The large sensor is coupled with an F2.8 Leica lens that offers an equivalent focal length of 28mm. Click through for more details.
Sony has announced the Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS for its E-mount interchangeable lens cameras, as well as the HVL-F32M flash and XLR-K2M XLR audio adaptor kit. The 16-35mm is the fifth full-frame zoom for Sony's Alpha 7 series. Read more
Enthusiast photographers have been waiting in agony for a replacement to the Canon EOS 7D for five years. Their wishes have finally been granted - and in a big way - with the arrival of the EOS 7D Mark II. With a new sensor, improved AF system, faster image processor, and Full HD video, we think that it was worth the wait. For a lot more on the 7D II, read our detailed First Impressions Review.
Panasonic's LX-series of compact cameras have been favorites of both customers and reviewers alike for many years. Photographers who have been waiting for a more enthusiast-slanted LX can finally get out their wallets, because the Lumix DMC-LX100 is here. Find out what we thought about what sounds like the ultimate enthusiast compact camera in our First Impressions Review. Read on.
For the last two years, the only enthusiast compact with a large sensor you could buy says 'Sony' on the front. Finally, at Photokina 2014, we get some competition from Canon. The PowerShot G7 X uses what is likely the same 20MP sensor as the Sony RX100 III but offers a longer lens, flip-up touchscreen LCD, and arguably better controls. For all the details on this exciting new camera, head on over to our First Impressions Review.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM5 borrows the styling of the fashion conscious GM1, but adds enough additional control to give it broader appeal. So while it's still a smart, diminutive thing, Panasonic has found room for a viewfinder, control dial and hotshoe. We look at the two cameras side by side and examine the changes that've been made at the petite end of the Micro Four Thirds range.
Canon has made the EOS 7D Mark II official, headlining its Photokina announcements. The 7D II features a 20.2MP APS-C sensor, increased from the 7D's 18MP. It also presents an upgrade over its predecessor in autofocus specification with next-generation Dual Pixel AF, 65 all cross-type points, as well as a faster 10 fps burst shooting rate. Read more
Canon has announced the PowerShot G7 X, the company's first compact to feature a 1"-type sensor. It boasts a seemingly familiar 20.2MP BSI CMOS chip, coupled with a DIGIC 6 processor and a 24-100mm equivalent F1.8-2.8 lens. The G7 X is also equipped with a touchscreen, a 31-point AF system, 6.5 fps continuous shooting, and built-in Wi-Fi with NFC. Read more
Panasonic has announced the latest member of its enthusiast compact LX-series, the Lumix DMC-LX100. Where its LX7 predecessor used a 1/1.7" sensor, the LX100 leapfrogs into the Four Thirds sensor class, with 16MP chip and a 24-75mm equiv. F1.7-2.8 lens. It supports 4K video recording at 30p, and also provides Wi-Fi with NFC for faster pairing with a mobile device. Read more
Panasonic introduces the second member of its diminutive GM-series: the Lumix DMC-GM5. The GM5 offers a 16MP Four Thirds sensor in a point-and-shoot sized camera body equipped with a Micro Four Thirds lens mount. Following on the consumer-focused Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1, the GM5 provides some enthusiast touches like a built-in 1.2m dot equivalent EVF and hot shoe. Read more

Paul Bubb (Athletics Director) was quoted in the Daily News October 10, commenting on the Matamaniacs, a so-called spirit association that attends and supports CSUN sporting events. The groups antics--dancing, sarcastic cheers for the visiting team, zealous and creative cheers for the Matadors--have been barred from the gym floor and confined to the bleachers for fear of interfering with the game. "I want them there. I want them enthusiastic...But when they step down on the floor next to the playing court that becomes a game-management issue, and that's something we're not going to allow to happen."
The L.A. Times reported October 16 on CSUN's earlier-than-normal closing of undergraduate admissions applications for the spring semester. Faced with a ballooning enrollment--and not enough funds--administrators are trying to keep the quality of education high and maintain the ability to enroll in classes at CSUN. Ron Kopita (Vice President of Student Affairs) explained that when the university had high enrollment figures in the past, it didn't have the resources to better serve students. Students then complained they were unable to get classes, had to stand in long lines and were unable to get services outside the classroom. "We are determined not to let this happen again," Kopita said.
Johnie Scott (Pan-African Studies) was quoted in the Daily News October 16 after he screened filmmaker Spike Lee's new movie "Get On the Bus." The film uses the Million Man March as a backdrop for a look at a busload of African American men traveling from L.A. to Washington, D.C. Scott's comment on the film: "This is the best thing (Lee has) ever done, period...It's a watershed film, and it's going to send out quite a ripple effect."
Cynthia Rawitch (Journalism) was highlighted in a Daily News article October 13 on the Faculty Senate debate over whether to support the Associated Students' decision to have former Ku Klux Klan member David Duke debate affirmative action. Rawitch, a member of the Senate, was quoted as responding to another faculty member who said there is such a thing as too much free speech. "As a matter of fact," Rawitch responded, "there isn't. That's the point."
The L.A. Times highlighted CSUN's Urban Studies Program 25-year anniversary gala October 19. About 500 students have graduated from the program, which analyzes issues such as crime, land use, environmental concerns and traffic. "Our focus is on solutions," said Tim Dagodag (Geography). "From the beginning, we were ahead of the curve; we've emphasized community service."
Warren Campbell (Political Science) was quoted in the Daily News October 20. Campbell was asked to comment on the congressional election for the 25th District, which covers the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys and portions of the northwest San Fernando Valley. Republican Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon is favored to win his third term over Democratic challenger Dianne Trautman. "He's an incumbent. He represents the majority part in the district...His name is very well known," said Campbell.
Cal State Northridge was in the news again because of the affirmative action debate between David Duke and Joe Hicks. Jay Leno included the university in his "Tonight Show" monologue September 26 in which he asked "Why would David Duke be concerned about affirmative action? Maybe a black guy would be promoted over him as grand wizard of the KKK?"
Rodolfo Acuna (Chicano Studies) was featured October 7 in a segment of the KTLA (Channel 5) News at 10 on the Latino March for Justice in Washington D.C. Acuna said comparisons with last year's Million Man March were irrelevant. He said he was attending the Latino march as a personal protest. "I want to show my displeasure with the direction of the government."

Football: Ready or not, here Persa comes
Colin Becht
September 26, 2011 •
Nearly 11 months, two billboards and six games later, Dan Persa will once again be under center.
The senior quarterback, who has been rehabbing since rupturing his Achilles while throwing the game-winning touchdown against Iowa last November, is expected to play this Saturday against Illinois.
"He's not only mentally ready, he's champing at the bit to play," coach Pat Fitzgerald said. "As a college football player, your reward is Saturday. (It's) the opportunity to go out in the arena and compete with your teammates in the game that you love. He's going to get that back, and I couldn't be happier for him."
Fitzgerald declined to say how much Persa would play on Saturday, preferring to keep that a secret until game time as he has done with Persa's status every week this season. Persa, however, was more forthright with his analysis of his game readiness.
"I feel pretty good," he said. "I feel like I could play the whole game."
After going 2-4 in the games Persa missed, the Wildcats are glad to have their All-Big Ten signal caller back on the field.
"I won't say it's too good. It'll go to his head a little bit," senior linebacker Bryce McNaul said. "Dan and our entire offense has been successful in the past about controlling the ball and controlling the pace of the game a little bit. That helps us out tremendously on defense when we can kind of get a breather."
While Persa's arm shouldn't have been affected by his injury, whether he can be the same dual threat that he was last year remains to be seen. Persa, who last season risked his body many times to make plays with his feet, said he plans to be more cautious this year.
"I learned a lot from last year," Persa said. "You're going to take a lot of hits in the pocket when you don't have the ball, so when you do have the ball, you want to get as many yards as you can and obviously get down."
Although Persa agreed with Fitzgerald's statement that he is very excited to get back on the field, he said he wouldn't let the excitement of game action affect his play.
"I'm not really that type of guy," Persa said. "I don't get too high or too low, just kind of stay even keel. I know I'll be excited, but I'm not really a rah-rah guy to begin with."
Though Persa will play this weekend, it's not clear whether he will start. He was listed on NU's depth chart as the co-starter, sharing the spot with sophomore Kain Colter. As the starter in NU's first three games, Colter has thrown for 390 yards and rushed for 237 more with a combined five touchdowns. He excelled in the Cats' first two games of the season, but was pulled from NU's 21-14 loss to Army after he was largely ineffective through the first three and a half quarters.
Senior guard Ben Burkett seemed to suggest that he will be excited to see how Colter will be used on the field while Persa is under center.
"We have so many offensive weapons and a lot of speed, a lot of guys who can make those plays on the perimeter, just giving the ball to them and watch them run," Burkett said. "That's something that's special, and I think we need to take advantage of it."

The Federal Aviation Administration announced Friday which 149 regional airport control towers across the country will close due to forced spending cuts.
Grand Island's tower was originally on the list of possible closures, but will instead be part of a "cost share" program that allows for the tower to remain open.
Sixteen towers will remain open under the "cost share" program due to a Congressional statute that sets aside funds every fiscal year for these towers. These cost-share program funds are subject to sequestration but the required 5 percent cut will not result in tower closures.
All of the airports with towers that are closing will still be able to remain open, but pilots will now need to coordinate takeoffs and landings amongst themselves or over the radio. In the release announcing the closures FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said, "We will work with the airports and the operators to ensure the procedures are in place to maintain the high level of safety at non-towered airports."
The towers will be shut down over a four-week period beginning April 7.
To view a list of control towers that are to be closed, go to http://faa.gov/news/media/fct_closed.pdf.

I've got some sad news for you.
Blizzard is a COMPANY. A COMPANY is in business to make as much money for themselves as possible. I'm sure somewhere in some meeting room, they pulled up some spreadsheet that says that X% of people leave the game because there's damn squat to do once you hit 80 if you don't raid. Once an expansion hits, there's precious little that gets added to the game that you can see by yourself. Most new content focuses on raids.
So these accountants and pencil-pushers tell the dev team to fix that, and try and make raiding more open so that some of that x% stay ingame. The dev team realizes that it'll be tough to water down raids so that idiots can get gear, while keeping it fresh and entertaining for people like you and I. Enter: Hard modes and achievements. This lets those with the barest amount of ability to stand out of fire have something to do once a week that's not a daily or Gundrak for the bazillionth time, while still creating a separate, and difficult layer of content for the hardcore crowd.
We're lucky in this respect. Blizzard is a company. Blizzard owes us nothing, really. They could've made it so ALL raids are easymode now. But they didn't. They separated it nicely. What more do you want?
@Bubblepriest: If they do five percent a month, that's another six months until the buff is capped out. I think your guild will have plenty of time to get in, get Arthas down, and get a couple of hard modes under your belt before the content truly becomes "trivialized". All of the health and healing buffs in the world won't do you any good if you don't know the fights.

Rumors have it that WWE has been signing some of the best international talent to their developmental program. Names like Kevin Steen, Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi have surfaced as potential candidates to join the company later on this year. Unfortunately, though, WWE will not be bringing in Sarita, long considered one of the best international female performers in the business. She received a tryout with the company back in March but no contract has been offered.
June 4, 2014
Long known as one of the best female performers in Canada and Japan, Sarita has never really been on the radar for WWE.

ok... this chapter get really confusing. you might have to read bits over more than once, i know i did. lol please comment! i like this story... but if i dont get any comments i wont continue!
"right! That's it! You two! Get out of my cinema!" the manager shouted at us from the concessions stand. "alright. Alright keep your knickers on." I said as we left the entire cinema.
"well that was fun." Emily sighed as we reached the bus stop. "yeah. I love it when we have these days." She looked at me confused. "what do you mean? We are each others only friends, these are the only days we have?" she didn't understand. It meant a lot more to me than it did to her. "no. what I meant is… oh never mind." Emily sat down next to me on the seat. "no tell me. I want to know." She insisted. "well… I know we have these days all the time… but it really means a lot to me… really." She smiled and put her arm around my neck. "me too… you are my bestest friend ever sonny, that will never change! I love ya!" she licked my cheek and I pulled a grossed out face and whipped my face, she punched me in the arm and we hugged. "I wonder if those jerks are going to be on the bus again?" I thought out loud. "well if they are, please don't mouth off, I don't want them pounding your ass and me having to drag you home with me." I pulled a mock hurt look and she hugged me. I promised not to start anything. Or carry shit on.
I think I fell asleep on the bus. I woke up and I was on a bed. I sat up and looked around. "why am I in sonny's room?" I thought out loud. "because you passed out on my on the bus… so I carried you back here, I didn't want to wake you so I put you here… in my bed." I smiled. He came and sat next to me on the bed and handed me a glass of water. "thanks" I mumbled and skulled half of it. He kicked off his shoes and I put the glass on his night stand. I laid back down and he laid down on me, he rested his head on my chest. "hows my heart?" I asked. "oh fine, it seems to be making some weird sound though… its like a… buh-bumm
buh-bumm…" we laughed. I felt really weird cause, when I laugh my tummy wobbles. Its cause im fat. Sonny tells me off when I say it around him. But I know its true. And so does he, he just wont admit it.
We just laid there for a while, and I guess we drifted off again.
I dreamt of school. For some unknown reason.
"sonny! Look whos joining our school!" I screamed and pointed at the new students. I stopped and looked closer at them. "holey fucking shit!" I screamed and jumped up and down. "its Gerard! And mikey! And frank and ray and even bob!" they looked around and saw me jumping around pointing at them. They started whispering to each other and bob begun to walk towards me.
"excuse me, but do we know you?" I almost died. "what?! What are you guys doing here?! Shouldn't you be on tour?" he looked at me like I was a Looney. "uhm.. no… were here for junior high." Junior high?! What?! "what do you mean? Your too old for junior high?" he laughed. "no were not. We're only 15" I blinked. And all of a sudden it all started making sense. "oh… right… oh my god… im so sorry for freaking you out…" he smiled, in a forgiving way. "my names Emily. Emily Taylor." I stuck out my hand and he shook it without hesitance. "hi, im bob. Bob bryar." I so badly wanted to tell him I knew that. But I with held. "so you gonna introduce me to your friends?" I said as I waved over at them. "oh of course, come with me." I followed bob through the crowded cafeteria and sat down next to him at the table everyone else was at. "Gerard, mikey, frank and ray, this is Emily. Emily, this is Gerard, mikey, frank, and ray." Bob pointed each of them out and I pretended as if it was the first time I had ever seen them. "hey, sorry if I freaked you guys out before. I thought you were someone else." I blushed a bit. "awe no sweat." I heard ray. Each of them offered me a friendly smile which I returned almost instantly. Gerard pulled out his sketch pad and I watched as he flipped though it to the next blank page. "hey, you draw?" he looked up at me. "hell yeah!" we both smiled and laughed bit. But this was different. It was like we had a connection. "me too" I said and I pulled mine out. "can I have a look?" he asked politely and I passed my only form of therapy over to the complete stranger I was dying to love. He flipped through each page, as I eagerly searched his face for emotion. 'oh shit! I thought as he neared the last page I had drawn on. That was not a pleasant picture. I had drawn a little girl. She was in a torture room. Sitting in the corner, bleeding from every place visible and crying. That was not something I wanted people seeing. Just as he was about to turn the page I grabbed it out of his hand. "no. you don't want to see that. I don't want you to see that." I said, trying not to sound rude. "I'm sorry. I have to go to class now." I lifted my self off the seat. I turned around and begun walking rather fast out of the cafeteria down to the locker bays. "Emily! Wait!" I heard a voice call… "Emily!... Emily!"
I felt a gentle shaking and let my eyes slowly open, finding the frantic face of my best friend. "what wrong?" he begun running around the room. "we have to go! our parents know we wagged!" SHIT! I got up and threw the blanket off. "what are we going to do?!"
"we have to run away." Sonny came and stood in front of me. I nodded. I knew that is what we had to do. I helped him pack a small duffel bag and we climbed out the window just as his abusive father came storming down the stairs into his room. We ran from his house down to the local park. "lets go to our swings. We can figure something out there." I agreed with sonny and we began o climb the small hill to our swing set. As we neared the top of the hill, I saw the tops of them moving. We reached the top of the hill and there was about five teens who looked our age, hanging around them. Two were on the swings another two were play fighting and another was sitting under the tree I sit at when I'm feeling low, they were drawing. Which is what I do when im there. As we edged closer the images became clearer, and I noticed… holey shit! My dream has come true! The boys form my chemical romance are here! In Newark, new jersey! (well… that is were they are from.)
we walked closer and one by one they noticed us coming… they all seemed to move closer to the swings. Sonny and I walked by them and sat at the tree opposite the one Gerard was under. Ray and mikey were on the swings and frank and bob were whispering and occasionally looking over at us. Eventually frank decided to come over to talk to us. "hey. My names frank iero." he said as he extended a hand to sonny and I. "sonny… and this is Emily." Sonny answered for me. I don't think I could of answered for myself. "hey, do you guys wanna come hang out with us?" he asked with a hopeful smile. "sure." Sonny stood up and held his hand out for me. I watched as frank went to tell the others. "Emily." I looked up at sonny. "oh. Thanks" I smiled and walked with him over to the others.

#RedSox GM Ben Cherington on his plans for the outfield:
"We'd certainly like to add one. We wouldn't rule out more than that. We'd like to add another outfielder. After that we'll see what's available. "We've always felt it's important at Fenway to have not just somebody who can play right field but really two guys that can handle center or right. I think our best teams have had that in the past. Easier said that done. That would be optimal."

It is a contraceptive barrier device which a man covers his penis with during sexual intercourse to prevent unwanted pregnancies and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Though most condom ads and infomercials target heterosexuals, condoms should be used by homosexuals as well.
Condoms are the most cost-effective way to prevent unwanted pregnancies. They also stop the transmission of various STDs including the dreaded HIV/AIDS. When used properly, condoms have a 98% success rate! Nowadays, female condoms are also widely used. Much like their male counterparts, they work on the same barrier principle. And they're believed to be more pleasurable as well, though costlier.
They are easily available, inexpensive and work effectively when used properly. The con is that there's a certain stigma attached to buying them in many countries (including ours) and might be overlooked in the heat of the moment. The availability of the right size can also be a problem. Some also live under the impression that they decrease pleasure and aren't as good as the real thing. A common misconception is using two condoms. Double condoms are actually worse because they increase the friction and can cause the condoms to break.
Only 3 million female condoms are made each year compared to 1500 million males ones. But in the near future, the female condom is set to play an important role in preventing STDs and unwanted pregnancies. In comparison to a male one, it's much thinner and instead of latex, this one is made of nitrile. The upside is that it's much more pleasurable than male ones because it's thin. It also has two rings which help improve stimulation. It also provides lubrication and makes sex less painful.
If used properly, condoms can prove to be 97% effective. However, due to some reasons they may fail. E.g.: Putting it on wrong, not squeezing out the air, not leaving space, taking it off before they're done, manufacturing Issues, past its expiry date etc.
Condoms are usually made of latex though sometimes more natural substances like polyurethane, polyisoprene and even lamb skin are occasionally used.

Thumb swelling can be caused by many different factors. It may be caused by a preexisting disorder, such as arthritis, tendonitis, or bursitis, or by injury from trauma, repeated use, or an insect or animal bite. Most thumb injuries are mild and heal on their own, but if symptoms are severe, a medical professional may be needed to treat the swelling.
Arthritis is one of the most common causes of thumb swelling. Osteoarthritis can occur in the thumb for a variety of reasons, ranging from normal wear and tear to overuse of the basal joint, which is just above the wrist and is responsible for thumb movement. Symptoms range from mild to severe, including swelling, stiffness, and pain.
Thumb tendonitis is another potential cause of swelling. It is caused when the tendons at the base of the thumb become irritated, typically from repeated, uncomfortable movement of the hands and wrists. One of the most common causes of thumb tendonitis is all of the difficult and unusual hand positions that are required for a new mother to take care of her infant.
Burstitis is a similar, somewhat less common, cause of thumb swelling. It is the inflammation of the fluid-filled sac located between the bones and tendons or muscles around them. This sac forms a sort of cushion against the hard surface of the bone. Bursitis can be very painful.
Trauma injuries to the hand or wrist may also cause the thumb to swell, as can fractures in the bones of the thumb. X-rays will be necessary to detect any broken bones, although difficulty moving the thumb may indicate a fracture. A joint sprain is another fairly common injury that can cause a swollen thumb.
Bowlers may also experience thumb problems, as swelling may occur due to repeated use, placing the thumb into the holes of the bowling ball. The stress to the fingers when the ball leaves the hand can cause some swelling and even a little soreness. This is generally nothing to worry about, as bowling rarely causes injury, but individuals with severe pain should see a medical professional.
Any repeated activity involving the thumb can cause it to swell. Text messaging is one example of an activity that can cause swelling and even pain due to overuse. Playing an instrument that uses the thumbs a lot can have the same effect.
Animal or insect bites are another common cause of thumb swelling. Other common symptoms of these bites are itching, redness, and sometimes pain. The swelling indicates that the body is reacting to venom, or it could also be caused by inflammation due to tissue damage.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

PISCATAWAY, NJ – Junior Graig Badger (Union, NJ) of the Rutgers baseball team was named to the 2003 Verizon Academic All-District II Baseball University Division Team. Badger is a second team selection and the lone Scarlet Knight on either team.
A Finance major with a 3.31 GPA, Badger is Rutgers' starting second baseman and leadoff hitter. He is batting .297 this season, but owns a .432 on-base percentage and a team-best 32 steals. His 32 steals are the second-best single-season mark in RU history and just seven shy of Doug Alongi's 1993 total of 39. Badger leads the team in runs scored with 51 and has eight doubles, three triples, one home run and 25 RBI, all career highs.
Rutgers, ranked 22nd in the latest Collegiate Baseball poll, has won 18 of its last 20 games entering a Thursday matchup with Delaware. RU is also second in the BIG EAST standings, percentage points behind first-place West Virginia.

Good detail, i like it. keep posting,
do u use references or do your images come from mind?
The clockworksnail Experience- SKETCHBOOK!!!
@ clockworksnail - Thanks! All of my work comes from my head, although I do look through animal books constantly so Im sure a lot of it sticks. When I start to draw a creature its seldom that I use reference for poses, but I do look at reference for certain characteristics like texture and pattern. Im also interested in behavior influencing the evolution of a species so I read about animals a lot haha...do I make sense?... ..sorry Im rambling
Wow some very cool chimeras in here. Wanna see more *_*
My english suxx, please forgive me...
You do make sence.
il drop by every so often and see how you're doing, keep posting, its good
The clockworksnail Experience- SKETCHBOOK!!!
The art reminds me of the creatures from Dougal Dixon's After Man: A Zoology of the Future, which was based on imaginative extrapolations of future evolution from presently existing animal species.
Dahami - I am somewhat familiar with that book. I've seen it only twice although I'd really like to own it! I do base a lot of my design on animals that do exist and behavoirs that people are familiar with. I believe it keeps the creatures relatable.
Killer weight on these creatures! They all have such solidarity and life. Well done.
Brilliant illustrated profiles on those creatures really well executed , keep up the good work.
i still cant get over that fish-bowl-mech-suit thing.
its well good.
The clockworksnail Experience- SKETCHBOOK!!!
It's all very good picture!! , i really like line drawings and design in your picture.
seriusly, i love your sketchbook. its so different to everyone elses.
your style is unique and its really inspiring, if u ever publish a book on your weird animals, pm me straight away and il go buy it, lol.
keep it up!!!

Sick creature concepts. Your level of detail is remarkable.
Hey, so, i looked through your blog.
it's cool. sort of relaxing just looking through,
i lso read that you are actually trying to publish a book, which is seriusly cool.(i didnt realise in my previous comment, but i meant what i said about buying it)
one thing tho, apart from the 'Gigatus', have you created any large carnivore species? i think you should. maybe that 'bala' thing u refer to in one of the paragraphs?
anyways, im probly actinlg like some kinda annoying stalker or something, so i will shh now,

Aylabet! (I LOVE IT!) ^_^
Really awesome creature concepts! You get them to fit all so nicely they look like they could have existed. I know a lotta people who try to make creatures up but they wind up making them look really lopsided and not feasible, these are very realistic. Nice!
Haha no you're not! Thanks for your interest. Im excited to keep designing for The Morae River, although I need to take a break from it for a bit. hehe. However, Large carnivores are my favorite!Hey, so, i looked through your blog.

Hey there, I remember you from QHHS...dunno if you remember me, we met kinda briefly, but it was in Mrs. Tremonti's room and you were working on a dragon piece. I've seen some of your work in Dixon's class too. What're you up to these days?
Hey bobcat! Im not sure if I remember you only because I cant see your face. hehe Im excited to hear Dixon is still at QHHS. I need to say hello to him! I've just been working and living you know? haha
Putting everything in one place. Need to delete my duplicate name sketchbook.
Post new pics soon.
In love with the whole project, best of luck with publication. (let us know when!)
is this from reference or from mind?
