Tomas Boot Tuesday 24 April, 2012 MUSICA VIVA: A fine concert, finely realised, with the added bonus of hearing two relatively new Australian works. There can be something very comforting about a string quartet, and the Canadian St Lawrence String Quartet is no exception: there's a sense, no matter how illogical it may be, that, compared to a symphony, the players of a quartet are far more acutely aware of the audience's presence in the room, and that the audience is more aware that they're aware, and so on. All this is a rather roundabout way of saying that string quartets are more 'intimate', of course, but there's more to it than that, and whatever that more is, is what was floating around the City Recital Hall on the night I attended Musica Viva's latest concert series. In addition to all this, however, was the added bonus of hearing two Australian works, both relatively new (though not premieres), and, as an added bonus to the bonus, both Australian works were well worth this critic's time. We began with Haydn's String Quartet in F minor, op 20 no 5, in one of the most enervating renditions of Haydn this critic has heard in quite some time, played with much gusto by the four players, many a pair of legs projecting out into space and being pulled back in again, shoes thumped on the floor, the long hair of one of the violinists flying around his face. It was a performance that brought to the surface what often lies stagnant underneath. Gordon Kerry's Elegy for string quartet came next after an introduction by the composer himself. The piece, commissioned by the Australian Youth Orchestra in 2007, was a heartfelt and moving tribute to Kerry's mother, and, while lacking the size and scope of, say, Nigel Westlake's Missa Solis last year – a requiem for his son Eli – it nevertheless was a pleasure to listen to. Alternating between mournfulness and forced levity, its ten minute duration held the attention (and then some) for the entirety. Mozart's Oboe Quartet in F major, K370 finished the first half, Diana Doherty (principal oboist for the Sydney Symphony) subbing in for one of the violinists. The performance was refreshing and vitalising and came as a perfect antidote to the grief of the piece by Kerry beforehand. After the interval we were treated to Beethoven's String Quartet no 4 in C minor, op 18 no 4. Here the quartet was not as energetic as previously, but this is not to say that the piece lacked in power – indeed, the change of style was well suited to the demands of the work. Last was Matthew Hindson's Rush, for oboe and string quartet, a work based on his piece of the same name except for guitar and string quartet. What Hindson has done, as he informed us in his introduction to the piece, is to transform the guitar's part into one for an oboe, adding and detracting from the quartet's textures when needs be. The piece is frenetic in all the good ways, and displayed Doherty's skills to the highest. An encore was called for, and it was given: a short tango by Hindson, a world premiere, no less, and one that was vociferously appreciated by the audience. A fine concert, finely realised.

I have been working at San Andreas Regional Center as a contractor (More than a year)
You can say yes or no to referrals, so take as many or as little kids as you would like. You work in the homes, which I believe is ideal...it's all about parent coaching right? Most social workers are very nice to work with. You can accept kids only within a certain mile radius if you don't want to have to drive too far. I highly recommend that. It might take longer to build a caseload, but in the end you won't be driving all over the place.
You don't get paid for writing up IFSP paperwork, so you need to be creative about building in the time (if you miss one visit a month with the family due to sickness, can use that hour towards paperwork) It helps to be bilingual, they do not provide interpreters; but you can ask for just english speaking families. They don't reimburse for mileage; claim it on your taxes though
Advice to Management
Allow the same professionals who evaluate also treat the same child; provides family with rapport, and creates quality goals and cohesiveness for both the therapist and families.

What will Cubs do with Matt Garza?
It's a big question that hasn't been answered since Theo Epstein took over at Clark and Addison almost 19 months ago: What will the Cubs do with Matt Garza?
Garza has made only 18 starts since then, with an elbow injury killing his trade value at last summer's deadline and a lat muscle strain in February keeping him on the disabled list.
Without Garza, the Cubs have started 16-23, fueling talk of another summer sell-off, but you can't blame the starting pitching. The Colorado Rockies hammered Carlos Villanueva in Tuesday's 9-4 blowout in front of 38,123 at Wrigley Field, but nights like that have so far been the exception.
With Garza hoping his next rehab start will be his last, and the fans and media buzzing about Anthony Rizzo's new contract, the focus has shifted to who else might be locked up as part of The Core.
"Yeah, it would be awesome, but like I said in January, March, February, April, I need to pitch," Garza said. "I can't talk about anything except the next time I get to pitch and that's Thursday. I can't do anything (else). There's no conversation about anything like that. It's just: 'How close are you?' That's the only thing coming out of my mouth."
Contract talks are irrelevant when Garza still has to get through Thursday's outing at Triple-A Iowa and show he can last six innings. At that point, the Cubs will decide whether or not he needs another rehab start in the minors.
[RELATED: Garza will be one of the next big decisions for Cubs]
Garza – who's never shy about speaking his mind – expects to have a lot of input.
"It's kind of my job," Garza said. "But all in all it comes down to what the organization wants to do and what upstairs wants to do. We're going to obviously sit down and talk about it after the next outing and go from there. But it's all based off how I respond and how I feel and how comfortable I am."
After dismissing the idea of a six-man rotation over the weekend, Dale Sveum allowed for that possibility as a short-term solution, depending on the matchups and the bullpen situation. Without much enthusiasm, the manager said "it could happen" while admitting the staff hasn't "really looked at it deeply."
"We'll be a stronger team when (Garza) comes back," Villanueva said after giving up seven runs on 12 hits in five innings. "I have my own opinions (and) a move will be made. A night like tonight didn't really help my cause. I'll take the ball whenever they need me.
[GARZA: It's time to end the negativity surrounding the Cubs]
"In the end, it really doesn't matter that much what I think. Whatever happens will happen and they'll make their decisions. We're all professionals here.
"I'm an employee. Whatever they need me to do, I'll do."
While it appears the Cubs could have a surplus, remember that Scott Feldman has a one-year deal and could be flipped at the trade deadline. Tommy John cases Scott Baker and Arodys Vizcaino are still taking it slow. Baker hasn't thrown off a mound yet in Arizona, while Vizcaino is said to be weeks away from pitching in the minors.
The organization's lack of impact arms forced the Cubs to give Edwin Jackson a four-year $52 million contract last December. This was supposed to be a platform year for the 29-year-old Garza, who if healthy would be one of the top pitchers on the free-agent market this winter.
"I'm in the same boat I've always been," Garza said. "I'm just gonna keep pitching and keep playing and see what I can do when I come back and have a good time doing it."
[RELATED: Garza situation puts Cubs in a tough spot]
As the Cubs opened camp in February 2012, general manager Jed Hoyer acknowledged the possibility of a long-term extension and delivered this line: "We need more Matt Garzas, not less."
Garza has complained about the negativity surrounding the team on his Twitter account. But he's also repeatedly said how much his family enjoys the city, and he loves playing for Sveum, frequently dropping by the manager's office to chitchat.
Garza's also watched the front office guarantee at least $101 million to All-Star shortstop Starlin Castro and a 23-year-old first baseman who might reach that elite level.
"It's huge," Garza said. "They're showing that they're making the right steps of building something here. First Castro, now Rizzo and you're locking up two premium positions with (young) premium players.
"That's a huge step and it should be a good, good sign for good things to come here in Chicago. I'm excited (and) happy for (Rizzo). Now, let's just win."

The response to our recent Help Wanted posts has been a little overwhelming. It seems like there's a lot of people out there looking around for projects to get involved in, and all you have to do is ask.
So, we're asking.
Here's three more projects that have requested help of one kind or another.
- Scrum-it
Scrum-it supports all your management tasks in agile projects and is the interface between the digital and the real world. It's optimized for a touch-screen environment.
Scrum-it is looking for someone to adopt the project. It's a functional product, but the original developer no longer has time to work with it.
Scrum-it is developed using JSP, so you'll need to be proficient with that. Please contact me directly at rbowen AT sourceforge DOT net if you'd like to get involved.
- RUR: a Python Learning Environment
"Roberge's Used Robot (RUR) : a Python Learning Environment" is a Python implementation of a "robot environment" as introduced by R. Pattis in 1981. RUR is similar in spirit to GvR, although it uses Python syntax.
The RUR project is in need of something of a reboot. If you're interested in getting involved in the project, and if you have some Python chops, please get in touch and I'll fill you in on some of the history and details of the project.
- GSVideo
GSVideo is a cross-platform library for the Processing programming language that provides video support (movie playback, video capture, creation of movie files) through the use of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
Although the project gets a lot of downloads every week, development has been stagnant over the last year, with the lead developer moving on to other things. If you're interested in video, or in the Processing programming environment, please let me know, and I'll make the necessary introductions.

It Will Be Okay.
The sun is hiding but I know it's there.
I need to do a little at-home yoga practice. I'm sore. My body aches.
This cold, damp weather makes me feel like I'm in my 90s. My emotions make me feel like I'm two.
It's a vicious cycle—taking care of everyone else. Even the cat gets more attention than I do.
I usually prefer it that way, but like last night, sometimes I want to scream, "Where the hell is the goddamn dinner fairy? I'm hungry!"
I am hungry.
It's an emotional, spiritual, physical, complicated hunger for stability. I want to be taken care of too, damn it!
My inner two-year-old tyrant self of, I'll do it myself, says, "Fuck this shit! Do it for me!"
Just this one time…okay maybe twice…hold my hand and let me know it'll be okay.
So I spread out my green mat before the fireplace. I stretch into my cat and then into my cow. My breathing doesn't flow—it gets stuck until I stop thinking and go with the movements. I stretch back into child's pose and linger there a bit longer than I should.
It feels good—warm and safe.
Maybe, just maybe, shoulds, cannots and musts can slip away…
My yoga session continues with a series of moves that feel okay for me right now.
It's nothing huge. No fanfare.
I gently rebalance my off-kilter stance. I close my eyes to see. My hips reflect my inner turmoil: right hip up and twisted in and the left swings back.
I'm shaped like an S—lovely as a glyph but not so lovely for a human vessel.
I listen and breathe to my heartbeat.
I continue to drop into a space of self-care and self-respect. I am listening to what I need in this short pocket of time that I carved out for me.
I let go of feeling guilt. I let the laundry remain in a heap. I hear the drone of the dryer and the rinse of the dishwasher. The birds are chirping outside. The sun is hiding but I know it's there.
Next I listen to the mantra of Ganesh.
I was reminded recently that he doesn't take away the obstacles—he brings them to our awareness—what we need to hear, see and work on.
Reflections, thoughts and insights flood over me.
Sometimes the tears flow freely and gently, and my heart melts once again.
Sometimes I sit in awe and silence. The chant is in my pores and courses through me. Other times my mind wanders and it's hard to focus. I'm a muddy puddle and my heart can't swim to the surface.
Today, I remain perched in front of my fireplace, grounded to the earth, and I know I'm being taken care of.
For in this very moment, that's all we have. It's going to be okay.

Is it bad to say that mantra of late has also been "fuck that shit"? Seriously. I truly loved this.

The cost of spurning GM crops is too high
Posted By aaron On July 23, 2011 @ 10:37 am In Medical Tyranny,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Jonathan DG Jones
London Guardian
July 23, 2011
The term "genetic modification" provokes widespread fears about the corporate control of agriculture, and of the unknown. However, results from 25 years of EU-funded research show that there is "no scientific evidence associating GM plants with higher risks for the environment or for food and feed safety than conventional plants and organisms". This of course does not prove GM methods are 100% safe, but makes clear there is no evidence to the contrary.
This Saturday, anti-GM campaigners plan to offload potatoes outside the John Innes Centre (JIC) in Norfolk – one of the country's leading crop research institutes – for a "photo shoot". They claim that our research trial of blight-resistant GM potatoes on a plot at JIC, one of only two ongoing GM research trials in the UK, is a "dangerous experiment".
The trial involves research on genes from wild potatoes. We have been able to isolate genes from wild species that make them resistant to UK races of the late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans, which causes £3.5bn in annual losses worldwide.
Phytophthora has evolved to circumvent all the 100s of resistance genes in most cultivated potato varieties. Resistance genes exist to recognise pathogens, enabling the plant to activate its natural defence mechanisms. The aim of the trial is to test whether resistance genes from wild potatoes will give commercial varieties the ability to detect when they are under attack by UK pathogen races, and then activate defence.

I've put this game down to play Farcry but Im hoping that patch is here by the time I pick it up again. #1 Agree(10) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply andrew171994 + 1037d ago i dont really see anything wrong with the disguises? it just makes the game difficult to play cause the ai isnt stupid. i always love challenges expeciouly wen it comes to games like these #1.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Bathyj + 1037d ago Yeah, but its just a bit silly that a cop knows every cop, a janitor knows every janitor. Kind of defeats the purpose of the disguise. Youre often better off without one. #1.1.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report andrew171994 + 1036d ago Yah but if your goin in to a house that has a gang in it they'd know Wat theyre friends look like. But there's a part wen ur wearin a mask n I don't understand how they know it's u? #1.1.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report Yukicore + 1036d ago What about issue with Cinematic Point Shooting getting you detected, while with it turned off, you don't. I mean, you obviously get detected either way, just that with CPS shots will be fired from NPC's (if there are 4 or more armed NPC's), resulting in alerting guards that are near you, but not in sight, but without it you cleanly kill them all, no shots fired by NPC's. Please give some attention to this thread, so that IO fixes it - http://forums.eidosgames.co... There is also video proof that this issue was not present in beta version demo's, but in the final game it is. This issue really ruins point shooting, please support, I want this to be fixed... #1.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Incipio + 1037d ago | Funny MAJOR disguise system design flaw (logic): To build up instinct, one must be in danger or make kills. To get best score, one must be perfectly silent and unnoticed. To slip past people that are of the same role as the disguise you took, you must use instinct to discourage them from noticing who you are. So.... Violence = Instinct = Silence? =/ #2 Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply rocky047586 + 1037d ago Not quite true, your logic is actually flawed. Not trying to be mean by the way. But you can also gain Instinct by "hiding in plain sight" and by finding different outfits to wear that are laying around instead of hurting someone to get it. So no, you don't have to commit violence to be silent or to get Instinct. Just to show you I wasn't trying to be mean about it I voted you for another bubble. #2.1 (Edited 1037d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply andrew171994 + 1037d ago well if you enjoyed playing games youd care more about the game play than getting the highest score? on a single player campain game.. But instict you use to walk past someone? right. If your sneaking around you dont even have to use it that much. Pluss you get instict from walkin past people with out getting detected. its like any stealthy game?? exept you have "instict" to help you if you wanna get good at games like that play the metal gear series or even earlier hitman. #2.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Incipio + 1037d ago Funny thing is, I do enjoy the gameplay instead of the score. I actually prefer using the silverballers and any bladed weapon to kill every single armed individual in every level. I was simply parroting a common opinion across the internet right now regarding complaints about the disguise system. 'twas just a test... ;) #2.2.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report Yukicore + 1036d ago @Incipio I prefer to kill only the guards in my way, hide the bodies and continue on, killing as less as possible, although often I just want to kill someone for no reason, instead of sneaking past, if it won't alert any other NPC's. And point shooting is brilliant, if you don't use Cinematic PS, as it makes 47 take long pauses after each kill, allowing NPC's to draw & fire their weapon, alerting other NPC's, but I would prefer the cinematic experience, if only but for that issue, please support this thread, to make IO notice it. http://forums.eidosgames.co... #2.2.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

The chief executive officer of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy Racing League met Wednesday with Champ Car World Series leader Kevin Kalkhoven in Indianapolis, part of their ongoing discussions. While George still feels unification is a 50-50 proposition, he said time is running out for there to be one series in place for 2007.

I appreciate the online store and the reasonable price. I am still not able to find this product in stores. So far it's the only shampoo my husband can use that really works.
Great business to do business with.
My order was delivered before I expected it and was exactly what I wanted.
Eucerin moisturizing creme is great. My doctor recommended for this product. If you have rough feet and hands it'll help from drying your hands. I have very sensitive skin, and it keeps my skin soft, without irritation. Great product.
I originally bought this at my local Walgreens but haven't been able to find it. Glad I discovered OTC store and ordered 2 of them
Not only works on those red colored bruises that I bought it for, but also is fading age spots faster than all the other products I have tried. A bonus I didn't expect.
I can highly recommend this.

The Infinite Debate...
I am starting this thread because I want to share something with the rest of the fandom..and get feedback
as many of you know, I have spent about 2 1/2 years trying to quantify what exactly the Tardis is, and what it can be in the dimension in which it exists..
there are some theories which suggest that the ship is nothing more then a large room, in which thousands of rooms are floating around free and link up dimensionally..
this I believe is false..
Still others would have you believe that the Tardis center is kinda like a staff, a sceptre which is surrounded by rings of orbs which link up, and are accessed dimensionally, with a core central vortex spinning below..
Some say it is like the hypercube of the movie the cube, and can be enlarged infinitely..
Still others contend that it is simply just bigger on the inside.
Again, I believe these statements to be a false depiction of the ship..
and here is why.. in many descriptions from the show itself, it has labeled the Tardis as a Ship, a Space/Time Ship, not a series of floating rooms..not a tesseract.. though it does resemble a tesseract being the outer shell is larger then the doorway, which is then considered the outside, and the outer shell is never seen within it's own dimension..only the interior.
lets take each assertion one at a time and dispel the differences..
a theory which until Recently, I have now grasped even better..
why would the Time lords want to walk around a tardis, and not know where they would end up, or if that section or room was stable enough to visit?? To another point, why would the Time lords want to have a ship that could extend itself to infinity? think about it..
what would be the purpose of building a ship that could extend itself so vast that as to become it's own planet or solar system? what is the point of that?
I contend that the tardis is massive, and yes can infinitely produce rooms, but it can not expand infinitely beyond it's defined boundaries.. to produce rooms, it must also jettison old ones if the space is not there.. Now I can see a room being larger on the inside then the outside, this would be due to the expansion of the dimension on a subatomic level via it's access to the cloister core.. but those rooms would need constant energy to keep that extra dimension open, and would probably be the first to go if additional power were needed to travel..
when the doctor describes to Leela that the ship interior is in another Dimension, he is saying that the interior structure is on its own.. now if the outside were in this reality, and a separate structure were in another dimension, then logically it follows that, that structure must have a shell of some kind to maintain itself..further more if you were to just have a structure be large ron the inside, then what would you see if you were able to expand yourself outside of that interior? what would you find? would it be a massive blue police box? or just a box? which is more likely a box, or a ship?
in the Iphone application there is a game called hipercubo, it is fun, and interesting. based on the 4th dimensional tesseract.. however.. these colourful shapes may shift and infinitely fit together in cool neato ways, as a game it certainly works, but to make something like that a spaceship doesn't make sense, and would be impractical. It is not a space ship by any means, and to the point why woudl there be different model types of Tardises designated then?
would they all just be the same then? Only different upgrades to the interior tech? so then it would just be a type 1, mark 1 billion..LOL:rofl:
this is why I say that the Tardis must be a massive ship, with the capacity to funnel and create a vortex, and have access to a gravity well to bend space-time, and a set of modular rooms which can be jettisoned into that vortex funnel pathway, and can generate new ones if needed..
but a ship that grows infinitely?? yes it can but only if other rooms are jettisoned..to grow in mass infinitely, no..I can't see it being practical..why would a Time lord want or even need that?
A SIDRAT can be a series of a few expandable rooms.. with an engine and a central control center.. it can dimensionally expand a room to make it bigger on the inside or shrink based on computations input into the matter conversion generators.. it can expand too to accommodate troops.. and hold a limited supply of oxygen atmosphere.. these ships are prone to power failure as they are limited in lifespan not being a full fledged Tardis.. and not being as complex as a Tardis to maintain an engine section and a core central control network and relay systems..
A Dalek Prison ship is a massive barge of sorts which is similar to the SIDRAT only it is self contained and doesn't have access to the massive vortex engines like the Tardis, it just basically hovers in it's own dimension..with a power source that keeps the ship in constant place tied to this reality via a door, and with a force field around the entire structure..infinitely feeding off residual particles of background radiation in the dimension which it rests...
all in all I just can't see the Tardis as just being bigger on the inside.. likewise, I can't see it being a series of floating rooms that dimensionally link up (just would take too much power to maintain that type of structure..) on top of that, I can't by into the theory that the Tardis is just a massive hypercube, because it has many other levels and sections which are not the same, and the entire structure is not a duplicate of the same rooms repeated over and over again..
nope in my mind, the Tardis is a ship.. a massive and fantastic ship, with default set of rooms and corridors, and then additional rooms and corridors with similar functions added on by a complex materialization-matter conversion system.. similar to the food processors on the enterprise only manufacturing rooms and parts, or engine conduits, and so on based on the technical data stored int he computer memory core, and the aesthetics of the mind of the time lord it is psychically linked to.
Re: The Infinite Debate...
<Head explodes>
Re: The Infinite Debate...
I went with the Massive MODULAR Spaceship option, with emphasis on the Modular part. References dating back to the Tom Baker era to "jettisoning" of parts of the TARDIS, and even more recent references to the TARDIS rearranging itself (the moving swimming pool) seem to support some sort of modular design. And another key word is "massive", not "infinitely large" which is a bit of a misnomer. Again going back to the Baker/Davison era there were references to jettisoning a certain percentage of the TARDIS' rooms, and you can't have a percentage if it's infinite.
I suddenly came over nostalgic for, of all things, Second Life. During my brief (and ultimately disappointing) involvement with the virtual community I came across a number of folks who had created their own TARDISes, in some cases using designs not too dissimilar to some of the speculation here (maybe not hypercubes, grant you).
Re: The Infinite Debate...
Damn. I came in expecting a 'which was the best Doctor?' poll.
Leaves dissapointed.
Re: The Infinite Debate...
Re: The Infinite Debate...
it's a narrative construct allowing the principal protaganists to transit from story to story with ease.
Re: The Infinite Debate...
Re: The Infinite Debate...
Re: The Infinite Debate...
on another note, those who voted and believe it is just bigger on the inside, can you please explain to me how it can possibly jettison 25% of it's rooms??
Re: The Infinite Debate...
Damn! LOL! What a thread. While I don't believe a lot of people put as much thought into it as you starsuperion, I'll at least go along with the conceit of in-universe speculation. I would agree that the TARDIS is a time/space machine whose exterior is represented in our four-dimensional universe as a shelled doorway that can mimic the appearance of its surroundings...
Re: The Infinite Debate...
Here you go. :techman:
Re: The Infinite Debate...
but it only explains how the Tardis ship is so massive in it's own dimension, and why the outer box is so small..
if you extrapolate that by this,
then you know it is a ship and not just bigger on the inside..because it can jettison 25% of its mass to provide thrust
Re: The Infinite Debate...
How is it not just bigger on the inside? Given that is how characters have described it for 40+ years, I think the burden of proof is on you.
It can jettison its rooms because it can. Don't think so three-dimensionally.
Re: The Infinite Debate...
Re: The Infinite Debate...
how is trying to figure out why it can jettison rooms considered 3 dimensional thought? if it can jettison rooms then it is not simply a big box, and therefore is some kind of modular ship.. it has been referred to as a ship by the doctor and numerous characters for the last 40 years as well, plus it has engines.. and so much more..
I would by into what you say, except that it has been used by other doctors as well.. so it wasn't a one time event..

Thank you everyone for the recommendations. There are different versions of the 50mm, is there a good resource that explains the differences? I haven't been able to find anything definitive on Google.

Thank you everyone for the recommendations. There are different versions of the 50mm, is there a good resource that explains the differences? I haven't been able to find anything definitive on Google.
One thing to consider is the size of filters. According to a 1996 catalog I have, the Distagon CF 4/40 takes 93mm filters while the CF50 and CF60 take the 60mm filters as would the 80 and other lenses until you get up to the 350 and 500. I have a 50 that I am very pleased with but if you are looking for light weight it is 1lb 12oz and the 60 is only 4oz less. A wide strap is helpful.
site is a pretty good one for sussing it all out, but as far as I know the differences are the following:
1. 50mm C lens, non-T* coated, silver cosmetics, sharp at infinity but only decent at close range, not as good of coatings as later, parts are no longer made.
2. 50mm C lens, T* black cosmetics, same optical design as above, better coatings, still will have issues getting service due to shortage of parts.
3. 50mm CF lens, newer style and often preferred mechanics, same optical formula as above, T* coated, parts are much easier to find and for now are still made. Likely the best value if on a budget.
4. 50mm CF, CFi and CFE FLE, new optical design with a user selectable floating element resulting in much better close range correction, the least expensive version being the CF at $600-$800 depending on luck and condition.
Some have said that the focus action on the newer CFi and CFE lenses are easier to pull, but for most of us analog shooters, the 50 CF lenses, either the non-FLE or the FLE represent the best value. That's my take on it at least...
Best place to learn about the technical differences between the different Hasselblad lenses:
Other than the optical difference between the old 50mm and the FLE, the rest is pretty minor differences in body design. The older 50mm C lenses will all be non-FLE, weigh a little more, and takes 63mm drop-in filters (a little hard to find, I think, but some people find was to use 67mm filters). All the later versions will take B60 filters. The standard advice is to get the newest lens that fits your budget. The CF non-FLE's go for a lot less than the CF (FLE) lenses.
If you want compact WA, get one of the SWCs :) If you want the 50, I have a mint CFi 50 FLE on sale in the classifieds. Just saying' :)

While looking at other things in Windows 7 I noticed that the Winlogon Notification timeout has been increased from 2 minutes to 10 minutes.
This made me think about an earlier post I had on the subject of Winlogon Notifiers timing out after a 2 minute delay.
But hang on....Winlogon Notification Packages have been removed in Vista+ haven't they?
As it turns out they haven't been removed entirely, you still have Winlogon Notification subscribers registering for Winlogon Notifications under the Winlogon\Notifiers key (the GPClient and TermSrv components do this for example)....but the integration with Network Providers that existed in XP/2003 has been removed.
For example: if Group Policy processing is taking a long time you may see the following:
The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> took 599 second(s) to handle the notification event (StartShell).

Winlogon notification packages do not work after you upgrade to Windows Vistahttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/925519
Great article, this is exactly the problem I am having, and I've long suspected it was because of the Group Policy. What isn't clear, however, is how do I FIX it? We just upgraded to SSDs here in the office - my computer gets to the logon screen in 20 seconds... then hangs for 5-10 minutes trying to connect.
Standard Group Policy trial and error elimination will apply - i.e. move your workstation to a test OU that doesn't have any GPO's applying to it and then link them one by one until you locate the one that contain the problem settings (and run gpupdate /force between each reboot to make sure the GPO's are reapplied at reboot).
Userenv/GpSvc logging should help identify further which settings in the problem policy are taking a long time.

Does .NET 3.5 C# allow us to include a variable within a string variable without having to use the + concatenator (or string.Format(), for that matter).
For example (In the pseudo, I'm using a $ symbol to specify the variable):
DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
string s = "The date is $d";
The date is 4/12/2011 11:56:39 AM
Due to the handful of responses that suggested string.Format(), I can only assume that my original post wasn't clear when I mentioned "...(or string.Format(), for that matter)". To be clear, I'm well aware of the string.Format() method. However, in my specific project that I'm working on, string.Format() doesn't help me (it's actually worse than the + concatenator).
Also, I'm inferring that most/all of you are wondering what the motive behind my question is (I suppose I'd feel the same way if I read my question as is).
If you are one of the curious, here's the short of it:
I'm creating a web app running on a Windows CE device. Due to how the web server works, I create the entire web page content (css, js, html, etc) within a string variable. For example, my .cs managed code might have something like this:
string GetPageData()
string title = "Hello";
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
string html = @"
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ...>

Hello StackO

The date is $date

As you can see, having the ability to specify a variable without the need to concatenate, makes things a bit easier - especially when the content increases in size.

Country road. Clark has taken the blue family truck to McNally Farms. Yep, they raise almanacs and street maps right out of the soil! As Clark drives, he sees a beat-up truck from the sheriff's department drive past. Clark waves.
At the farm, workers are carrying baskets of fruit. Farmer Moleman lifts his hat and wipes the sweat on his brow to greet Clark, bellowing, "Well, it's been a long time!" Clark says he thought all Moleman's crops were destroyed in the last meteor shower. Farmer Moleman squints out into the distance, saying he's come to see the meteor shower as a blessing in disguise. A deadly, town-destroying blessing. Oh, do go on. He says it taught him that, with a little (lot) hard (undocumented) work, anything's possible. Clark looks around, asking what the deputy who just left wanted. "Lookin' for illegal aliens," says Farmer Moleman. Clark perks up at the word "aliens." Moleman says that all his workers have their papers. They actually don't, because all the papers are in his hand, being waved around for emphasis. Moleman changes gears. He says he was sorry to hear about Clark's father. You live next door and you didn't bother to go to his old man's funeral or visit to give your condolences in person? You are evil! Moleman asks how Clark's mom is holding up. He manages not to ask if she's dating yet or if she likes men who go down...like really far down. Like below soil level. Clark says she's fine, but that their tractor's not so good. Thus ends the strange segue from MamaKent to a broken tractor. Clark claims that they broke an axle, and asks if Moleman might have a spare pivot pin. Does he! "'Pivot pin'?" growls Moleman. Them's fightin' words! Moleman says that he just might. He offers to go check the barn. Clark looks around. He sees workers and hears them speaking Spanish. Clark tells them, "Excuse me. I'm looking for Francisco." The workers ignore the grande gringo. The man who passed out earlier nods to Clark: "En el arbol grande la cinco." "I'm sorry, I don't understand," Clark replies. You don't understand "grande" or "cinco"? Jeez, Clark. ["Seriously -- I even got that much and I took French." -- Wing Chun] The man repeats the words. "Found one!" bellows Moleman. He brings the precious pivot pin to Clark, still in the wrapper. Clark thanks the man. Moleman asks Clark to give his best to the senator. Clark gets into his truck and leaves as Moleman watches his workers.

Research will shortly be moving into phase two, which will involve engineering rice to allow the team to test the gene function. In addition, for the first time, natural variations in rice are being studied using IRRI's world gene bank of rice to look for natural variation. In total, the project is expected to span over a 15 year period.
As a result of research into the re-engineering of photosynthesis in rice being conducted by this group, rice plants that can produce 50 per cent more grain using less fertilizer and less water will be brought a step closer to reality. The project will also act as a model project for changing any other C3 crops, (e.g. wheat and barley), into C4.
Professor Paul Quick from the University of Sheffield's Department of Animal and Plant Sciences is heading up the team, which includes a team of 70 researchers, as well as 20 international collaborators world-wide. He will be working with Professor Richard Leegood, also from the Universitys Department of Animal and Plant Sciences and Professor Peter Horton, FRS, who has collaborated with the IRRI on improving rice photosynthesis for over 15 years.
Professor Paul Quick, from the Department of Animal and Plant Sciences at the University of Sheffield, said: "C4 rice is a completely novel idea. Nowhere else in the world and never before have scientists been able to supercharge a C3 plant and convert its photosynthetic mechanism into C4. A C4 photosynthetic engine in rice would increase the efficiency of solar energy conversion by 50 per cent and nearly double its water use efficiency, as well as improving its fertilizer-use

October 07, 2015
It was a day when it was becoming increasingly hard to maintain the silly pretension that the eurozone would shrug off the global economic slowdown. German industrial orders fell 1.8% mom during August, while the July figure wasrevised downwards from -1.4% to a whopping -2.2%. Germany's federal statistics office reports that orders from the eurozone increased, while orders from outside the eurozone fell by 3.7%.
Note that these data do not yet take account any VW effect. VW yesterday said it would cut investment - which means it will order fewer supplies, while customers will presumably order fewer VW cars. Since the wider car industry accounts for some 7-8% of German GDP, the Volkswagen effect alone is likely to be visible in the national statistics. We expect to see a prolonged downward trend throughout the winter as a result of a confluence of various global shocks - China, VW and the car industry in general, and emerging markets.
The IMF yesterday weighed in with its World Economic Outlook. The forecasts are meaningless - as they have been for the last ten years. We are not going to relay them here as the news media cover this in full.
More interesting to us are the more specific analytical points, and especially the extent to which they reflect the handwriting of Maurice Obstfeld, who just jointed as chief economist.
The IMF's main analytical point is that the fall in global growth is fundamentally due to a fall in total factor productivity, which means that it is badly understood. Weak investment after the global financial crisis may have been a trigger. A box on page 51 in the report focuses on research on 100 recessions in 23 advanced economies since the 1960s showing that, in two thirds of the cases, recessions are followed by lower output levels relative to the pre-recession period. The IMF said what it finds most surprising is that, in half of the cases, the recession also led to a permanent growth effect. It is very clear from the discussion that these observed facts are not consistent with economic theory.
The IMF looks at three potential explanations.
1. Hysteresis: Financial crises trigger institutional changes, such as tougher capital requirements, with the potential of affecting long-term output. Hysterisis is best known in the labour market where recessions causes some members of the labour force to drop out permanently.
2. Dynamic effects of supply shocks. We quote verbatim:
"it is plausible to argue that the sharp decline in output at the start of the global crisis and the subsequent lower growth path stem from the same underlying cause—namely, the crisis in the financial system, manifesting itself through an acute effect at the start and a more chronic effect thereafter."
3. And finally, reverse causality: A recession could be partly due to the anticipation of lower growth to come, in a self-fulling prophesy.
We were able to peruse Chapter 1 of the WEO, but not yet chapters 2 and 3. We will bring you summaries of those - to the extent that they are of interest to us - in the next few days. One of us will be attending the World Bank/IMF annual conference, so the global economy and financial stability are likely to be the dominating themes of the next few days.
We also cover Spanish election polls showing Ciudadanos ahead of Podemos; the surprising postponement of the Commisson's opinion on Spain's budget; the mandate to Passos Coelho to attempt a new government in Portugal, and the budget execution difficulties he will face; a comment from planet Germany on fiscal stimulus; VW's dim prospects; foot-dragging on the single bank resolution fund; and, finally, the ECB's new explicit rules for speaking engagements.

Letter: Look who's talking
Larry Wegner, Naples
Look who's talking
This letter is in reply to Allen Malnak, M.D.
Dr. Malnak, might I suggest you clean up your own house before telling others to look after theirs!
In the last 40 years the medical profession has killed over 50 million babies by abortion. I too am appalled at the senseless killing of innocent children in their schoolrooms, but how is that any different from what the medical profession does every single day?
And to add insult to injury, the federal government funds (and condones) this daily mass murder through Planned Parenthood.

Try as she might, Britney Spears isn't driving away with a clean rap sheet just yet.
The judge tasked with deciding whether the singer will need to stand trial on a misdemeanor count of driving without a license has once again postponed the inevitable, delaying for the last time (fingers crossed) his ruling on whether Spears will be heading back to court.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James A. Steele was supposed to decide during a pretrial hearing today whether a trial is merited for Spears' August 2007 hit-and-split incident, but he rescheduled for Sept. 16—coincidentally, the same day mama Lynne Spears' memoir, Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, is due out.
Could be a banner day for the ladies Spears. Or not.
Britney Spears, who has been on her best behavior of late, seemed unconcerned with any court dates over the holiday weekend as she made the rounds in Las Vegas.
Spears' attorney Michael Flanagan has long been a proponent of dismissing the case, and today's scrapped hearing is the latest in several postponements. Just last month the pretrial hearing was delayed while Spears worked on her mental-health fitness.
"I think he's going to rule in my favor," Flanagan told E! News Tuesday, adding that he's expecting a "tentative ruling" in one or two days. "The law is clear. She should have just been issued a notice to correct pursuant to the vehicle code. The law says you shall issue a notice to correct.
"They did not do that. They just moved to prosecute. And she corrected it by obtaining a valid California license before she even got the notice."
If the case is not dismissed, it should go to trial within 30 days of the official ruling, Flanagan said.
The attorney blames the ongoing saga on Spears' celebrity, arguing that she was in possession of a valid Louisiana license when she dinged a parked car last year and that the incident should have come to a much swifter, not to mention less costly, resolution.

Point/Counterpoint - Twitter
Kyle Rankin is a VP of engineering operations at Final, Inc., the author of a number of books including DevOps Troubleshooting and The Official Ubuntu Server Book, and is a columnist for Linux Journal. Follow him @kylerankin.
news media and the point?
I agree with Kyle, simply because I don't see the point to it...There's nothing new it provides, except that it's more streamlined than facebook/etc.
One thing I've been thinking about lately Kyle mentions, about the news media. I've seen them promote it so much lately that I've started to wonder if they're being told (read: paid) to use (read: advertise) it and talk about it on the air. The only other thing that could explain it is that the reporters are somewhat celebrity (and we all know how retarded many people get over celebrities) and so they probably have a bunch of followers (read: groupies). It's possible that it makes them feel special in a way that most reporters don't usually get, as they aren't the typical celebrity, and so they indulge. Other than that, I cannot find one bit of rhyme or reason as to why they'd advertise the service so much. Even if it was the most useful piece of software/service on the planet I cannot see why it would be advertised so much -- I mean, where's all the linux advertisements and coverage? (I may be presumptuous in assuming most of us would agree linux is more useful than twitter).
The only real usage I can see for this service is corporate status messages to (potential) clients. It sounds like another means of advertising...one that is actually opt-in, opposed to slammed in your face even though you really don't want to see it. Is that what we need though, another means of advertising?
Sure, it's around, it's everywhere, it's got it's fifteen minutes. Eventually it will go the way of myspace and people will wonder what it is or why they bothered...or maybe, they'll still remain interested in the kind of sandwich you ate yesterday at 3pm.
As for me, I don't understand the interest.
Twitter vs IRC
I find it hilarious that I can see both points of view. I have also done /me more times than I would like to admit on twitter, but only a handful of my followers get it.
Frankly, despite the time-delay on twitter and people's availability, I like twitter more. And when the service goes down, I switch to FB and IM.
Laconica is the savior right there. Federation is the future, not vendor locked-in services, where you don't control your data. Email and Jabber are two fabulous examples.

I have just one iOS device at the moment, and it hasn't been a problem so far. But I now want to add iCloud sync support to my app (which uses Core Data).
Will testing be simply impossible until I get a second device? Or is it possible to use iOS Simulator in conjunction with my device or to fake iCloud data in order to test iCloud sync?
Edit: It doesn't take much research to find that iCloud, especially with Core Data, definitely requires extensive testing and that certainly means testing with more than one device!

I've developed this film in B&W chemicals as an experiment, and it came out great. The masking clears nicely, and you end up with traditional negatives. Scanning hasn't been a problem, either. The latitiude is slightly rediced, it seems, but still nice.
Kodak's C-41 developed in traditional chemicals doesn't clear and comes out terrible!
I have some pretty high hopes for this film :) I'll be using it with a Hoya yellow filter and processing it at home with my Unicolor kit. Like I said I plan on shooting two frames at EI 50, two frames at 100, two frames at 200, etc all the way to 800 (keep in mind this is on an RZ67 so I get 10 shots per roll).
I haven't tried it, but it certainly should work. As stated, XP2 is essentially a one color color film. Color balance, which can be affected by pushing a color film, doesn't really matter here.

A free personal guardian app which turns your iPhone into an emergency life line has been launched in the UK
Launched by web and mobile solutions agency One Result, Stay Safe is the UK's first iPhone app designed to keep users safe when working, relaxing or travelling alone.The app incorporates GPS tracking with a unique web-based alert system to allow users to let their friends and family know exactly where they are when help is needed urgently, even if they are unable to use their phone due to accident or attack. How the app works
Users set up a secure PIN the first time the app is used. They then enter details of appointments, meetings or journeys into the app, and set a timer for how long they expect this activity to take. They also select emergency contacts from their phone address book. This data is transferred via a secure web service to a web based server. Once the timer begins, the phone's GPS location is updated every minute, closely tracking the user's location. Five minutes before the time set for activity to end, the phone will begin to beep and vibrate to remind the user that they need to cancel the alert or manually extend the timer. If they do not, the app alert will be triggered and emergency contacts will receive a simple SMS or email message with a bit.ly URL containing a link to a StaySafe Alert Page complete with their last known location. The alert system is controlled by the web service and is not dependant on the mobile device, so once the alert is set the app will continue to notify emergency contacts even if the phone is switched off or damaged, of if its battery dies. A panic button feature also allows users to discretely raise the alarm should they suddenly be put at risk, which immediately sends an alert and GPS location to emergency contacts. As an additional safety feature, a 'duress' PIN can be entered if the user is forced to cancel the alert by an attacker. Whilst giving the impression that the app has been deactivated, entering the duress PIN will send an alert. Through in-app purchasing, users can upgrade to Stay Safe Premium, which is charged at £4.99 per month and includes additional features such as advanced GPS tracking.

Dave Carruthers, Managing Director of One Result commented: "Most of us will spend some time alone each day, even if just when travelling to work or heading home after a night out. It can be a time at which we feel at our most vulnerable, and we wanted to find a way to make people feel more secure without having to invest in expensive personal safety technology."Stay Safe was developed as a way to turn something many people carry with them all the time – their mobile phone – into a personal guardian that would let their friends and family know immediately if they were in danger even if they were unable to make a call or send a text. In the worst-case scenario of a user having an accident, being attacked or held against their will, Stay Safe would let their emergency contacts know that they were at risk, provide any details about the meeting, date or journey that the user had given, and identify the phone's exact GPS location.Obviously we hope that none of our users will ever be put at risk, but Stay Safe offers the peace of mind that if they are, help can be notified and reach them quickly."

Summoning his younger brother Andrew (John Lloyd Cruz) to the city of Dubai, the financially stable Raffy (Aga Muhlach) -- a Filipino citizen who's spent several years overseas -- hopes his sibling can find work so that they can finally move to Canada. Unfortunately, Raffy doesn't expect Andrew to go falling in love with his ex-girlfriend, Faye (Claudine Barretto) -- a woman Raffy, in fact, still cares for very much.
