I don't know anything about this contest but from sampling the thread quickly I can easily piece together what happened here: Others properly mocked the contest and particularly the obscene distance, which equated to a likelihood of success of literally less than .01. You instinctively adopted apologist mode and leaped into the thread, failing to grasp that the distance was the vital variable, the one that indeed could be in error. Instead, you assumed the organization was fool proof and asserted we don't know anything about the potential participants and their capabilities. Unbelievable. It's like requiring a sub-10 second 100 meters and fretting that we don't know the makeup of the field. They may be Olympic finalists.
Still, I was going to let it go minus comment until this post, the one I quoted above. Once others had mocked you for defending the contest, you scrambled for all related info and eventually stumbled across the information that the Dolphins had changed the distance. After all, you're the news poster, the guy who gets everything first. You were relieved nobody had updated the thread with the idea that 40 is the new 60, so you straightened your tie, wiped off the blood, and waltzed into the room with your convenient "guess" that the press release was inaccurate, and a change was forthcoming. You were determined to look good when somebody inevitably posted the update. The fact that it occurred only 7 minutes following your post, and in the subsequent comment, is all I need to know in evaluating the situation. This is a simple one, like Richard Floyd McCoy as D.B. Cooper.
I'm needed to help an ailing relative but I guarantee it somebody looks into the situation they discover that the 40 yard info was available elsewhere, and prior to Nublar's post at 4:12 PM. That would be a simple bet, and not a small one.
oh only a 40 oh ok my 87yr old nana can hit that
I find it more amusing that nobody is commenting on how PFT posted not 1 but 2 articles on the Dolphins halftime show! Are you kidding me? That is what they devote time talking about? I am sure there is something more pressing like, I don't know, the team? PFT is a joke but this is beneath even them. The halftime show? How ludicrous! Who would possibly care about that?lol

Gallery: Underwater Ocean Energy Turbine Harvests Vast & Powerful Marin...
According to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, if you utilized just 1/1000th of the energy potential available in the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic, you could supply Florida with 35% of its electricity. Extrapolate that out across all the major currents globally and there's plenty of potential to supply the entire world with electricity. Florida-based Crowd Energy was started by two brothers and marine experts, Todd and Phillip Janca, who want to harness that energy. They have been working for eight years on a sub-sea water turbine that will safely and efficiently generate energy from marine currents.
Related: Ocean Power Technologies Receives Federal Approval for the First Commercial Wave Farm in the US
The Ocean Energy Turbine is a three-bladed vertical axis turbine with large paddles featuring integrated, movable blades. As the current begins to push on a paddle the blades flip shut, offering more surface area for the current to push against. As the paddle spins around, the blades open back up to offer less resistance. The turbine has been designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the marine environment while minimizing impact on aquatic life. The high-torque, low-speed turbine operates at speeds similar to swimming fish and should not present any physical risk to life, and it also makes minimal noise so as to not disturb marine life acoustically.
Related: Minesto Underwater Kite Generates Energy from Ocean Currents
Currently, Crowd Energy is running a Kickstarter Campaign to raise funds for the company to progress their design past their first prototype into a second prototype for laminar flow tank tests. Afterwards they will begin open water testing and verification with the help of the Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center at Florida Atlantic University. The team hopes to prove their technology, improve upon the design and then begin work on production scale turbines that can generate real electricity in the ocean. Ultimately, Crowd Energy foresees placing turbines with 30 meter diameters in staggered arrays deep underwater to generate energy on a utility scale. "We want to put large turbines below the storm surge so they can remain a reliable source of energy for decades at a time," Todd Janca explained to Inhabitat. "Long-term reliability and survivability are key for Ocean Energy to be taken seriously."

Comparing this design, with its moving venetian blinds to other ones with simple rotors, I wonder how much more maintenance they would require. With flotsam and small animals getting stuck between those blades, they would quickly not be able to shut completely on their power strokes, reducing the efficiency of the system.

On December 18, 2012, the Santa Clara Police Department family came out in force as it paid tribute to an outgoing Chief of Police and welcomed an incoming one. Department personnel, many of whom donned their Class A uniforms, stood at attention as Chief Kevin Kyle walked out of the police station as the Chief of Police for the last time. Chief Kyle was escorted by the Honor Guard and given a "Final Salute" by the department members that he faithfully served with for so many years of his life. With his wife, daughters, and parents on hand, an emotional Chief Kyle thanked everyone for giving him the honor to lead and for paying him this tribute. The ceremony then shifted to welcome Chief Mike Sellers as the department's next Chief of Police. Following a military tradition, a "Change of Command" ceremony was held where a new chief's guidon (flag) was passed from one commander to another. Retiring Captain Paul Kofman was given the honor of handing the guidon to Chief Kyle. Chief Kyle then passed the guidon to Chief Sellers. The guidon will be held in a place of honor in the chief's office. Chief Sellers took the microphone and spoke about the department's future. He spoke about SCPD being a family and that we will be accountable to each other and to the department. Chief Sellers' son and daughter and many family members were on hand to witness the ceremony. Chief Sellers' son Matt, a Santa Clara Fire Fighter, made the final presentation. He presented his father with a brand new duty weapon engraved with the Chief's name and badge. The ceremony was followed by a terrific meal from Mariani's courtesy of the Captains and the SCPOA.

To me, blending woodworking and metalworking allows a better project. I used my Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC to weld a 10' by 30" metal framework of 3X3 tubing with 1/4" wall thickness. Added support framework for storage shelving is welded between the wheelbase using 2X2 angle iron 1/4" thick. With a metal framework, the span below the workbench tops is extremely open and allows much more unobstructed storage. 1-1/8" oak is attached to the metal framework with countersunk and plugged self-tapping screws. In the second photo, you can see the spacing of the doors and wood framework stiles. To help seal the lower storage area from dust or spills, plywood is screwed to 1/2X1/2" angle iron which was caulked and painted with an oil base paint (yellow surfaces).
Also, below the center folding doors is a long thin shelf made of 2X2 by 1/4" thick angle iron. It supports thick Masonite covers I use for the workbench Maple, Oak, and Walnut 2" thick tops when I'm working on heavy or greasy metal projects. When finished, they simply slide under and out of the way.
The "T-Shaped" length of 8ft. by 38" wide with the top of the "T" being 6'-6" by 36" wide. A 6'-6" tool tray is 12" wide and 5" deep. Total length of the mobile workbench is 12' and is on 6" casters that have brakes. Total cost of the finished workbench, including all the two "Twin Screw" wood-jaw vise-kits, was $850.00.
Question: After seeing so many hits on this post, I'm asking for MORE of you to let me know what you think of the "T-Shape" design, too.

The number 12 is significant in both the sacred and the secular: 12 gods living on Mount Olympus, 12 zodiac signs, Jesus� 12 disciples, the 12 days of Christmas, 12 months of the year. The number also has special meaning for certain cultures.
But for Wil Hiday, a student at Louise Archer Elementary School, it means only one thing: 12/12 is his birthday. And next week is his once-in-a-lifetime �golden birthday�: He will be 12 years old on Dec. 12, 2012.
�It�s a big day for him,� said his mother, Kim Hiday of Vienna, adding that the whole family �is really excited.�
Almost as excited as Wil is his grandmother, who is Japanese. In the Asian culture, Kim said, not only is it very good luck when all the numbers align, but it�s especially so for a boy born in the Year of the Dragon, as Wil was.
�It�s very auspicious,� she said.
Wil was born the day before his due date in 2000 in London, where his father, Jeffrey Hiday, was working as a correspondent for the Wall Street Journal.
The family is planning a big celebration at IHOP at the stroke of midnight — 12 a.m. on 12/12/12.
Pro Bono of the Year goes to Fairfax firm
Cole Miller PLLC, a family law firm in Fairfax County, received the Pro Bono Law Firm of the Year Award on Nov. 28 at the annual �State of the Judiciary� luncheon sponsored by the Fairfax Bar Association.
The Fairfax Bar�s award-winning Northern Virginia Pro Bono Law Center gave the award to Cole Miller to recognize its contributions in handling pro bono cases for the center throughout 2012.
Several Cole Miller attorneys, including Michael Miller, Teresa Cole and Virginia Haizlip, represented clients who were matched with their Vienna firm through the center�s Family Legal Assistance Project.
FLAP accepts low-income clients without resources, who have a compelling need for full representation in a family law matter. Often they need to secure support or access to family resources in situations of abandonment, where the other spouse has control of the family�s resources.
Partner Teresa Cole is a native of Alexandria, having graduated from the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology and the University of Virginia.
Vienna hires first IT director
Vienna Town Manager Mercury Payton has announced the appointment of Antoine �Tony� Mull as Vienna�s first information technology director.
Information Technology Administrator Craig Griffin, who retires this month after 28 years with the town, has been leading the Information Technology division.
Mull was selected from 124 applicants for the position. He has a masters in public administration from George Mason University and a bachelor�s degree in information technology and project management from Capella University.
A U.S. Navy veteran, Mull served as telecommunications manager for the city of Fairfax and most recently worked as a network engineer with REI Systems in Sterling.
He assumed his duties Dec. 3, responsibilities that include maintenance and support of the town�s information technology infrastructure and leading town-wide technology initiatives.
New retailers open their doors
Big Lots opened a new store Nov. 16 at 11181 Lee Highway in Fairfax. During the grand opening celebration, Big Lots district manager Fred Galzerano presented a $2,500 check to Scott Poole, principal of Lanier Middle School.
Unleashed by Petco opened a new store Nov. 30 at 2304 Hunters Woods Plaza in Reston. The store will run community gatherings throughout the year, including adoption events and activities like Pug-a-Palooza, local dog meet-ups, and contests and social gatherings.
The Washington Redskins opened their newest Redskins Team Store on Dec. 1 at Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax, on the lower level between Lord & Taylor and Sears. The new super store offers the largest variety of Redskins jerseys, hats, T-shirts and apparel in the region and serves as the official merchandise headquarters for Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Reston bank fastest growing in state
BestCashCow, an online resource for bank rate information, announced that Reston-based John Marshall Bank tops the list of fastest-growing banks in Virginia for the five-year period ending June 30, 2012.
�Our success and continued growth is attributable to the experience and market knowledge of our bankers,� said bank President Bill Ridenour.
John Marshall Bank has full-service branches in Falls Church, Leesburg, Arlington and Rockville, Md., and at 1943 Isaac Newton Square E., Reston.
Real estate office opens in Centreville
A new Re/Max Elegance office recently opened at 14701 Lee Highway, Suite A207, Centreville. The new office provides a wide range of real estate services and utilizes the most current technology, processes and systems to assist buyers with all their home buying and home selling needs.
Samer Makhlouf is the principal broker/owner.
Calling all artists
The Johns Hopkins Children�s Center in Baltimore invites Northern Virginia artists to submit works for its �Art of Caring,� an art acquisition event and silent auction to benefit children affected by illness or injury.

Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.

Sweet Amp, runs the 5x7 great and the 10" sub is crisp and clean. The real credit however goes to Crutchfield. Their techs are insane when it comes to audio knowledge. I will never buy audio equipment from anyone else!! Pros: Best equipment out there and Crutchfield is committed to customer satisfaction. Cons: Can't think of one Was this review helpful?

Pros: All in one,clean sound,looks great,plenty of power,great price.. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Amp in 2007 Tahoe Written By Ed W, Dallas, TX on Wednesday, June 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this amp in my son's 2007's Tahoe at the same time I replaced speakers & added a sub. I connected the stock stereo through an audio control and into this Rockford Amp. Easy install and does it make a difference! At 16 yrs old, my sons tests the volume limits and we haven't found any yet. This amp drives 5 channels for extended time periods and haven't had any issues. But it works great! Pros: Works great; Has a remote amp control that I installed in 30 seconds next to the drivers seat and out of sight. Cons: Because the unit is a little long it was challenging finding a good location for it to hide. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Fosgate Amp Written By Eddie, Knoxville, IA on Tuesday, April 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a very good lower end amp.. very clean sound. First time I've used RFosgate, and I'm very impressed.. I liked so much I bought a 4 channel amp for another of my vehicles.. Easy to tweak.. Looks good,, Sounds great! Pros: Easy to tweak.. Looks good,, Sounds good! Cons: A little long but I had the room so not a problem.. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great amp, overheats. Written By Ex., Capitol Heights, MD on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 This is my first amp. I have it installed in my trunk mounted on my back seat. This may affect the heat dissipation of the amplifier, but that's my only complaint, that it overheats. It powers EVERYTHING else perfectly and was exactly what I wanted, loud, clear sound and no distortion. I would totally recommend (buy a fan though). Pros: Powers everything. Saves space. Sound is clear. Cons: Overheats. Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice Written By Scott, Spokane on Thursday, February 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Solid Amp, still have not hooked up a sub. At volume sounds like one is already installed. Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome!!!! Written By clyde, brockton on Thursday, June 16, 2011 the main reason for buying this amp is that its a easy set up. its so much better instaling one amp and it saves more space. i was skeptical about a 5 channel amp but it really sounds great and loud. you will not be disappointed! my set up JVC Arsenal KD-A815(has 5volt rca's which really help with a clean and strong signal) Front - Infinity Kappa 60.9cs (amazing!)

The R600-5 is essentially three amps in one chassis; front and rear class A/B 2-channel amps with identical but independent controls (gain, crossover, Punch Bass), and a class D subwoofer amp (with its own gain, crossover, phase, and Punch Bass controls). The front and rear channels are bridgeable, so the amp can also be used in 4-channel or 3-channel modes. CEA 2006 Compliant: The R600-5's power ratings are measured according to the strict standards dictated by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards allow you to accurately compare the rated power output of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. The RMS power output is as follows (measured with a 14.4 volt input, <1% THD+N, front and rear channels 20 Hz-20 kHz, sub channel 20-130 Hz): 4-Ohm: 50 watts x 4 + 200 watts x 1 2-Ohm: 75 watts x 4 + 300 x 1 Bridged (4-Ohm): 150 watts x 2 (front and rear channels only) LED Indicators: The amplifier is equipped with two side-mounted LED indicators: Power LED: illuminates blue when the unit is on Protect LED: illuminates red when a protection circuit engages (short circuit or too low an impedance is detected at the speaker connections); the amplifier automatically turns off if this occurs Mounting: The amplifier can be mounted vertically, horizontally, or inverted using the supplied mounting screws; horizontal mounting (right side up) will provide the best cooling. The amplifier should never be mounted in the engine compartment (this will void your warranty). Controls Gain Control: The amplifier has three gain controls; front, rear, and sub. Each is continuously variable from 150mV to 8V. Crossovers: The amplifier features independent crossovers for the front, rear, and sub channels: Front: Type: choose low-pass (variable), all-pass (full range), or high pass (80 Hz) Frequency: the low-pass crossover point is continuously variable; 50-250 Hz Rear: Type: choose low-pass (variable), all-pass (full range), or high pass (80 Hz) Frequency: the low-pass crossover point is continuously variable; 50-250 Hz Sub: the subwoofer's low-pass crossover point is continuously variable; 40-130 Hz; the sub crossover cannot be bypassed Phase: A switch allows you to easily invert the subwoofer phase, choose 0° or 180°. Punch Bass: The front, rear, and sub channels also have independent Punch Bass (bass boost) controls. The front and rear channel options are 0 dB, 6 dB, and 12 dB. The sub channel's Punch Bass is variable from 0 dB to 12 dB. All the Punch Bass boost circuits are centered at 45 Hz. Punch Level Control: When the included wired remote Punch Level Control is connected to the R600-5, the subwoofer channel output level can be adjusted remotely (from the dash or center console). The Punch Level Control module features a rotary dial and includes mounting hardware and a 16' connector cable. Connections Power Terminals: The power and ground terminals are nickel-plated screw terminals and will accommodate up to 1/2" wide spade or ring connectors. Rockford recommends using 4 gauge power and ground wire. Remote Turn-On Terminal: The remote turn-on terminal is a nickel-plated screw terminal that will accommodate spade or ring connectors up to 0.34" wide. Speaker Terminals: The speaker terminals nickel-plated screw terminals what will accommodate spade or ring connectors up to 0.34" wide. RCA Input Jacks: There are three pair of RCA input jacks; front, rear, and sub. They are nickel-plated to resist signal degradation caused by corrosion. Fuses: The amplifier is shipped with two 40-amp ATO fuses installed. Two spare 40-amp fuses are also included.

The Ye-8 represented the "third generation" of Soviet robotic lunar probes. The basic Ye-8 comprised a lander stage (the "KT") topped off by an eight-wheeled, remote-controlled lunar rover (the "8YeL") for exploring the Moon's surface. Essentially a pressurized magnesium alloy container on wheels, the 8YeL was designed to operate over a period of three lunar days (roughly three Earth months) and collect scientific data from various points on the lunar surface.
This first attempt to put a rover on the Moon was a complete failure. At T+51 seconds, the payload stack disintegrated and the booster eventually exploded. Later investigation indicated that maximum dynamic pressure during the ascent trajectory tore a new payload shroud off at its weakest tension points. Despite an intensive effort, searchers were unable to find the polonium-20 radioactive isotope heat source in the rover. Unconfirmed rumors still abound that soldiers at the launch site used the isotope to heat their barracks during the bitter winter of 1968.

I bought this camera to assist in hitching up to my toys. Camera works good. Only complaint would be the deficiency of directions and options of powering the camera. I was hoping to power the camera by taping into the back up lights, but with the single cable of wires it was a little more than I wanted to tackle. I hooked the camera to my Edge CTS and installed a small switch for power. Works good and a lot less expensive than the EDGE Camera.

Home doesn't always feel homey, especially when you didn't get to design it yourself. At the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, actress Rachel Weisz, seen here with her husband, Daniel Craig, claimed to be between houses at the time and didn't feel that any of the rooms truly expressed her sensibilities. "I'm in a rental right now," answered Weisz. "I didn't design it. It's very nice, but it was designed by somebody else for somebody else."

"I turned my basement, before I met my wife, into my kind of dream location," he said. "It's a total man cave—there's a big screen, a gym, and a little video area. It's really gorgeous."

Fuji X100s First Impressions vs. LL Review
June 29, 2013, 07:50:54 AM »
I may have managed to find the one remaining X100s here in North America. It arrived yesterday and I started getting used to how it operates. Quirky would probably be the best word to describe the operation of the camera.
I spent a lot of time with the optical and electronic viewfinders as well. The OVF isn't connected to the focus point at all so it can't be used for manual focus, of course. The EVF is pretty laggy, particularly wrt brightness changes. The digital split image MF focus aid is neat and it does work. I find it a little large in the frame.
AF is not overly quick at all. Not nearly as quick as my D800 or D700. The LL review,
indicates that the two aren't all that dissimilar in terms of focus speed. I have to disagree. Where I really have to take issue with the LL review; however, is with the low light focusing ability. I know it's probably a bit of hyperbole on Nick's part but this camera can't focus in the dark. Not even close. In fact, I'd say the low light AF capability is pretty poor. I tested this in my family room with the TV on, a light on a side table beside my chair on and the room has a small window at the top of one wall - the small, typical basement emergency egress window. The room really wasn't all that dark and the camera struggled to focus. Really struggled. I also tested it in my office which has two computer monitors and a small light that shines through a heavy frosted glass shade. Again, not all that dark and the camera repeatedly couldn't attain focus. I've got the most current firmware, 1.03, installed so any AF updates have been applied. I will add the caveat that I was working with the camera in silent mode. In addition to turning off all camera sounds, this mode also disables the flash and the AF assist light. I'm going to do more testing with the AF assist light enabled. I really don't like all the beeps and chirps the camera makes, hence the preference for silent mode. I think it would be a welcome firmware update to disconnect the flash and AF assist light from the camera sounds being on or off. That said, if the camera truly could 'see in the dark' it wouldn't need the AF assist light. One feature that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is the DOF indicator in the viewfinder distance scale. The distance scale itself is cool, allowing you to easily pre-focus. But the DOF indicator is also a neat feature that places a white band around the distance mark. This band adjusts as you change focus distance and aperture to give you an 'on the fly' estimate of DOF. Handy.
No images to show as I haven't used it for anything other than grab shots around the house. Hope to get out with it this weekend to put it to use in the field.
In terms of handling, it is small. I have fairly large hands with long fingers and it's a bit of work to hold it comfortably, but certainly not unworkable and over time it'll get better as I get more used to it.

Agree that the AF is not as fast nor as surefooted in low light as a DSLR. Of course I'm comparing it to my 1DX so I can't really expect that.
Once I got over that, I've found it to be a great picture taking machine. I'm on vacation with both it and my 1DX and I've probably shot 60-70% of everything with the X100s rather than the 1DX. It's just light, unobtrusive, and easy to shoot with.

I may have gotten the next to last x100s on 19 June when I drove to Milford (CT) Photo and bought one off the shelf. Parenthetically I'll add that a couple of nice things happened that day: I closed on the sale of my condo and I could actually go the speed limit on I-95 between Norwalk and Milford. That interstate is an incredibly clogged stretch of highway.
Based on my experience with the Fuji XE-1 I put a thumbrest on the 100s and the handling improved greatly, just as it did on the "E-1." The camera is quirky but as Sheldon said it is easy to shoot and the output is terrific.

I added a thumb rest to my x-pro 1 and it really improved handling. I am sure tempted to get a 100s as well, nice auxillary camera to have around.

This week will go quickly, at least in my office, as most everyone is taking Friday off to make a 4-day weekend with the holiday.
To get back on topic, the thumb rest makes a difference in the larger Fuji cameras, and I expect it would be just as useful on the X100s.

To continue with my thoughts on this camera... I shot with it for about 5 hours yesterday. For the most part I was pre-focusing in manual and using DOF to keep things in focus. This was street shooting. The DOF scale is nice, but I think a bit conservative. I was shooting at f8 with focus set to 7'. The scale told me I had a DOF from about 5' to 10'. That seemed a little narrow to me so I checked it when I got home. Two different calculators indicated DOF from about 4.25' to about 15'. Conservative is better than liberal but accurate is better still.
The camera does not wake up that quickly. I lost a few shots because I didn't wake the camera up soon enough before taking the shot.
AF is really not that fast. Conditions were bright and sunny. There should have been no problems for an AF system. It didn't hunt and it did find focus, but not quickly. Most definitely not comparable to my D700 or D800. I'd say not really that much quicker than my cell phone.
Won't know for sure till I get the images onto the computer but based solely on the LCD, I'd say there may be a bit of a bias toward overexposure. Everything on the screen looked very bright even with the screen brightness turned down some and even after dialing in -2/3 exp comp. As I say, will know for sure when I get them onto the computer.

Yeah, the DOF indicators on the X100 and X100s are known to be very, very conservative. I basically ignore them.
I've tried thumb rests for a few cameras, and, while they do improve handling, I find that they dig into my body when I'm carrying the camera on the strap, so I stopped using them, although YMMV.
Overall, I like the X100s, and I appreciate it's general speediness over the old X100, although I'd prefer that Fuji stuck with a Bayer sensor. However, while prices are still high, I plan on selling my X100s, because I prefer the RX1+OVF.

Yeah, the DOF scale is very conservative. I took another look at it yesterday and it's even more conservative than I originally thought. Same aperture f8, focused to 7' and the scale told me I had from about 6' to 9' as a focus zone. I obviously misread it when looking at it quickly the other day when shooting. Will definitely be ignoring that and using the calculator I have on my phone going forward.
My concerns about a possible bias toward overexposure were unwarranted. The exposure is fine. The LCD is just very bright, even when turned down 2 notches. Will have to turn it down further in the future.
Viewing images on the computer and working with them, shadows seem to open up quite well without an objectionable introduction of noise. On close examination noise is there but it also cleans up fairly well. In the images I took, the shadow noise was all luminance as well, which is interesting. The character of the noise is peculiar. Unlike the typical blotchy noise pattern, this appears almost as a squiggly pattern. Maybe due to the design of the sensor?
All in all, it seems like a very nice little camera that can produce terrific looking images. Quirky operation and carrying/handling issues can be overcome. But definitely can't agree with the comments from some of the reviews about the AF speed or low light AF ability.

A bit off topic, but what thumb rest are folks using on their X camera (I have the X-E1)?

I bought the Thumbs Up device after using an X Pro 1 with that brand. They are not inexpensive, though if you order from Popflash you can get the
Thumbs Up and a Bop (soft release) at a discount
. (The soft release is great, but it keeps getting loose and I find it inside my camera bag.)
I find the thumb rest invaluable for handling my XE1. YMMV, of course.
Equipment: a camera and some lenses. Images:

I bought the Thumbs Up but there are tons of knockoffs now, check evil-bay. I use a soft release and it works well, once I got mine tight it stays put,

Let R the polynomial ring in n variables with complex coefficients and I an ideal of R. Is it true that if R/I is CM also R/J is CM (where J is the radical of I)? Is there a relations between a resolution of R/J and one of R/I? What if I suppose that proj.dim(R/I)=2?

It is not true, but the example is not easy to find $I = (x_2^2-x_4x_5,x_1x_3-x_3x_4, x_3x_4-x_1x_5)$!
Yes. From Eisenbud's Commutative Algebra: a ring $S$ is Cohen-Macaulay iff all the maximal ideal $m$ of $S$ satisfies codim($m$) = depth($m$). Now, the maximal ideals of $R/J$ are the same as $R/I$ and their depths and codimensions are the same as well.
