The Zov Tigra National Park — the name of which translates from Russian to mean "Roar of the Tiger" — is the first protected area of its kind in Russia's Far East. The 200,000-acre park, established in 2008, protects the tiger's habitat while simultaneously allowing for nature tourism. The biodiversity in the Park have no analogues in any other protected area of the Russian Far East: as many as 57 rare and endangered plant species and six mammals, listed in the Red Book, inhabit the protected area. According to the census, there are 4 resident Amur tigers in the national park. Also, 4 more tigers visit the protected area on a regular basis.
In order to improve anti-poaching efforts in the Park, in 2011 Phoenix came to an agreement with protected area's director to introduce Monitoring Information System of Law-enforcement Monitoring (MIST LEM) in the park and train the inspectors to work with it. During the training session in June 2011 the inspectors of Zov Tigra National Park learned how to work with GPS units, collect MIST data and enter the data into the MIST database. After a field-testing in July, on August 1st MIST was officially launched in Zov Tigra National Park.
From January through December 2011 the protected area was patrolled by a mobile anti-poaching team and inspectors who were on duty at the inspectors' stations. All in all, the teams of Zov Tigra National Park conducted 68 anti-poaching patrols and the inspectors on duty carried out 508 patrols.9,424 km was covered during foot patrols and 7,804 km during vehicle patrols; 43 citations were issued; 6 fires put out.
We are glad to report that the Phoenix Fund is satisfied with the overall results of law-enforcement work conducted during the year in "Zov Tigra". It ensures good protection of Amur tigers, their habitat and pray.
We would like to express our gratitude to all our GlobalGiving donors for generous support of our project aimed at Amur tiger conservation in the Russian Far East. With your support we managed to increase capacity of the anti-poaching teams to reduce poaching activities, enhance wildlife and habitat protection.

An optical fiber or fibre is a thin, transparent fiber, usually made of glass or plastic, for transmitting light. Fiber optics is the branch of applied science and engineering concerned with such optical fibers.
Optical fibers are commonly used in telecommunication systems, as well as in illumination, sensors, and imaging optics.
An optical fiber (American spelling) or fibre (British spelling) is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide that transmits light along its axis, by the process of total internal reflection. The fiber consists of a denser core surrounded by a cladding layer. For total internal reflection to confine the optical signal in the core, the refractive index of the core must be greater than that of the cladding. The boundary between the core and cladding may either be abrupt, in step-index fiber, or gradual, in graded-index fiber.
Fiber with large (greater than 10 μm) core diameter may be analyzed by geometric optics. Such fiber is called multi-mode fiber, from the electromagnetic analysis (see below). In a step-index fiber, rays of light are guided along the fiber core by total internal reflection. Rays that meet the core-cladding boundary at a high angle (measured relative to a line normal to the boundary) are completely reflected. The minimum angle for total internal reflection is determined by the difference in index of refraction between the core and cladding materials. Rays that meet the boundary at a low angle are refracted from the core into the cladding, where they are not useful for conveying light along the fiber. In this way, the minimum angle for total internal reflection determines the acceptance angle of the fiber, often reported as a numerical aperture. A high numerical aperture makes it easier to efficiently couple a transmitter or receiver to the fiber. However, by allowing light to propagate down the fiber in rays both close to the axis and at various angles, a high numerical aperture also increases the amount of multi-path spreading, or dispersion, that affects light pulses in the fiber.
In graded-index fiber, the index of refraction in the core decreases continuously between the axis and the cladding. This causes light rays to bend smoothly as they approach the cladding, rather than reflect abruptly from the core-cladding boundary. The resulting curved paths reduce multi-path dispersion because high angle rays pass more through the lower-index periphery of the core, rather than the high-index center. The index profile is chosen to minimize the difference in axial propagation speeds of the various rays in the fiber. This ideal index profile is very close to a parabolic relationship between the index and the distance from the axis.
Fiber with a core diameter narrower than a few wavelengths of the light carried, is analyzed as an electromagnetic structure, by solution of Maxwell's equations, as reduced to the electromagnetic wave equation. The electromagnetic analysis may also be required to understand behaviors such as speckle that occur when coherent light propagates in multi-mode fiber. As an optical waveguide, the fiber supports one or more confined transverse modes by which light can propagate along its axis. Fiber supporting only one mode is called single-mode or mono-mode fiber, while fiber that supports more than one mode is called multi-mode fiber. By the waveguide analysis, it is seen that the light energy in the fiber is not completely confined in the core, but, especially in single-mode fibers, a significant fraction of the energy in the bound mode travels in the cladding as an evanescent wave.
The common type of single-mode fiber has a core diameter of 8 to 10 μm. It is notable that the mode structure depends on the wavelength of the light used, so that this fiber actually supports a small number of additional modes at visible wavelengths. Multi-mode fiber, by comparison, is manufactured with a core diameter of 50 µm, 62.5 µm, or larger.
Some special-purpose optical fiber is constructed with a non-cylindrical core and/or cladding layer, usually with an elliptical or rectangular cross-section. These include polarization-maintaining fiber and fiber designed to suppress whispering gallery mode propagation.
At high optical intensities, above 2 Megawatts per square centimetre, when a fiber is subjected to a shock or is otherwise suddenly damaged, a fiber fuse can occur. The reflection from the damage vaporizes the fiber immediately before the break, and this new defect remains reflective so that the damage propagates back toward the transmitter at 1–3 meters per second. The open fiber control system, which ensures laser eye safety in the event of a broken fiber, can also effectively halt propagation of the fiber fuse. In situations, such as undersea cables, where high power levels might be used without the need for open fiber control, a "fiber fuse" protection device at the transmitter can break the circuit to prevent damage.

5 healthy herbs: It's easy to grow them
Home & Garden
5 healthy herbs: It's easy to grow them
Long valued for its antiseptic properties, thyme is also an antioxidant and is great for your belly: it can aid in digestion and may help treat stomach ulcers. With a slightly pungent, spicy, clove-like flavour, thyme is as easy to use as it is to grow. Be sure to plant in lightweight soil like sandy loam to allow easy drainage. Thyme is what Tremblay calls a "dry herb" and likes its soil to dry between waterings. According to Tremblay, thyme can be used with all meats, vegetables, casseroles and soups. Keep in mind that the herb has a strong flavour, so a little will do.
Recipe to try: Shepherd's Pie2. Rosemary
"Herbs give a taste of authenticity to food," says Tremblay. Rosemary's piney, resinous flavour with a hint of lemon makes it ideal for roasts, especially lamb. It works well with basil or thyme and is also used in baking cookies, biscuits and breads. Like other herbs, rosemary should be grown in full sun to partial shade in a clay pot. Do not overwater -- "herbs don't like wet feet," says Tremblay. If you are using fresh leaves, be sure to chop them finely because they are tough. Rosemary dries well and is worth keeping around because it may help alleviate high blood pressure and headaches. Some people even chew the leaves while driving at night because the herb is said to be a stimulant.

3. Basil
Tremblay describes basil as spicy, sweet and clove-like. It is a staple in Italian tomato dishes and mixes well with eggs, soups, sauces and dips. Basil is said to aid digestion, lower blood sugar levels and have a calming effect on people, so try using it in a home-cooked comfort meal for someone going through trying times. Basil should be brought indoors on chilly nights because it is more vulnerable to frost than other herbs. Tremblay advises growers to be careful when picking basil. "There will be a little joint, a little baby basil growing in the armpit of the stem," she says. Leave this part because it stimulates the plant to make more leaves, providing you with an abundant supply for the next time you're craving gazpacho or pasta.
Recipe to try: Roasted Vegetable Soup with Basil Cream4. Tarragon
Tarragon has a subtle licorice flavour, but it is discreet enough that even licorice-haters will enjoy it in a mixed-greens salad with other fresh herbs. Drizzle a simple dressing over a mixture of basil, tarragon and chives for a fresh summer salad. Tarragon is beneficial to digestion and constipation and is also considered a mild sedative, and therefore good for insomnia. Its sweet taste also works well with fish and chicken and is widely used in French cooking. One of the only dishes it will not work well with is soups, because it is too pungent. Tarragon is difficult to grow from seed, so this is one herb you might want to purchase from a nursery.
Recipe to try: Tarragon Monkfish Kabobs5. Cilantro
Fresh cilantro has a strong, sharp taste and is widely used in Mexican, Caribbean and Asian cooking. Tremblay compares its flavour to citrus and sage. It's a "very distinctive taste that you can get easily," she says. While its unique flavour forces many Europeans to turn up their noses, cilantro's health benefits place it high on the list of healthy herbs: it is said to lower bad cholesterol, lower blood sugar and aid with digestion. For a regular supply, cilantro needs to be planted about every two weeks. If you prefer to dry the leaves, keep in mind that they will not retain a strong flavour like other herbs, but if you grind them up, you will have a good stock of coriander (the dried, ground form of cilantro).

So far, Hawks' Smith has his way with Bucks
Atlanta — If not for an errant shot or two by Atlanta in garbage time, Josh Smith would've dropped a triple-double on the Milwaukee Bucks in a playoff game.
As it is, the Hawks forward is killing them.
In two games, Smith has 33 points, 24 rebounds, 13 assists and six blocked shots against the Bucks.
And that was after putting up a line of 21 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks Tuesday night in the Hawks' 96-86 victory in Game 2 of a first-round series at Phillips Arena.
If the Bucks don't find a way to stop him soon, they may as well start scheduling off-season tee times.
You can look it up, because Bucks coach Scott Skiles sure has.
"It's been awhile since I've looked at the numbers, but Josh has taken about 770 shots during the regular season right in the restricted area, and roughly 280 were outside the painted area," Skiles said. "He gets them all out on the break, throwing it ahead, getting dunks, getting lobs.
"We're kind of frozen on the backside. We stand around watching him. It's nothing our guys aren't aware of. They've done a good job preparing for it. But so far, those are the easy baskets they've been able to get. If we're not going to be able to take those away from him, they're going to be tough on us.
"If we keep handing out the easy baskets, it could be over quick."
The Bucks are trying to cover Smith with Carlos Delfino and others, but so far it's just been one big mismatch.
"I thought he should have made the all-star team this season," Hawks coach Mike Woodson said. "He's kind of put that behind him and he just continues to play. He's helped us win 53 games and there's nothing he can't do on the floor.
"We just have to keep him playing at a high level, keep his head in the game and we'll be just fine."
Smith may have taken time to develop out of high school as a pro player, but he's exploding on the Bucks in the playoffs.
"I just have to give credit to my teammates for sticking with me," Smith said. "They know whenever they pass the ball in the post and I get double-teamed, I'm going to make the right play. I was able to get it going early and sustain it throughout the game. My teammates were just finding me and I was being unselfish with the rock."

Please remember to crop out watermarks for main entry images. And if there are multiple figures in one picture to crop to the specific figure.
Mhhh I had more in mind to crop watermarks (or to avoid them) for final picture and not necessarily for draft entries, but I will do.
If you go to (mfc link) you can mass move them.Photos that you take yourself that are from events go in "exposition" instead of figures. :)
IT HAS bEEN DONE
Moon! Move your damn AX photos to the "exposition" category!

Dear Parents, Colleagues, and Students:
Welcome to Hicks Elementary! I am truly honored to be part of an exemplary school with a strong tradition of excellence.
At Hicks, we have purposefully designed a 21st century learning organization that teaches students to think globally in the digital age. We aspire to authentically engage every student every day to create and learn. We understand that today's digital natives cannot be taught utilizing only lectures, textbooks, chalkboards, and worksheets; rather, students must be challenged through the use of technology to think, plan, create, and collaborate. We embrace and implement cutting edge brain-based research practices such as Spanish Immersion and the Action Based Learning Lab. Through these activities, we have established ourselves as a leader in the education community.
We have implemented the Spanish Immersion Program in Kindergarten through 2rd grade. This year our strategic goals are to continue Dual Language in third grade, focus the Action Based Learning Lab on science concepts, refine the "Exceptional Reader" program in kindergarten through second grade, and continue our Academic Medal Plan where students complete activities to earn their academic medal. We are very excited to continue our growth as we design a school that will enable our students to thrive in a future they create.
We also know that education is a function of the home and community as well as the school. To partner with our parents, we have established multiple means of communication. We provide up to date information weekly through call blasts, e-mail blasts, Facebook, twitter, and our website. The combination of these and teacher websites are your best sources for information regarding activities at school.
We truly believe "Our Future Starts Here." The elementary years are the foundation for a lifetime of learning. The future of our students, our community, and even our country depends on our success. Together, we will find every child's hidden talents and enable every student to be the best scholar, artist, and person they can be.
It is an honor to be able to serve your child as Principal of Hicks Elementary. We are here to serve the students, families, and community when you need us. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any reason. At Hicks, we truly believe "Our Future Starts Here."

Dies ist die offizielle Internetseite der Industrial Workers of the World - IWW. Anders als es der historische englische Name vielleicht suggeriert, sind wir seit unserer Gründung selbstverständlich nicht nur eine Gewerkschaft für "IndustriearbeiterInnen", sondern für alle Arbeiter, also für alle Männer und Frauen, die als Lohnabhänge, (schein)selbständige Arbeiter oder Arbeitslose um ihren Lebensunterhalt "zu sichern" gezwungen sind, ihre Arbeitskraft zu verkaufen.
Auf dieser Seite findest du alles, was Du brauchst, um bei uns mitzumachen, dich mit anderen ArbeiterInnen am Arbeitsplatz zu organisieren und um dort, wo Du bist, die einheitliche, allumfassende und große Gewerkschaft ("One Big Union") aufzubauen. Die meisten Informationen dieser Seite beziehen sich auf die Situation in den USA und Kanada, doch findest Du hier auch Links zur IWW in anderen Ländern.

Across the US, mainstream unions are looking to cuts tens of millions of dollars from their budgets in the face of feared attacks under the new regime, as some of the heads of big unions are also trying to cozy up next to Trump. Organized labor under the leadership of the labor bureaucrats has taken a position of trying to maintain social peace at all costs; more interested in keeping a lid on potential worker insurgency than fighting for better wages, conditions, and environmental regulations.
Submitted on Mo, 02/06/2017 - 6:51pm
The IWW is a union for all workers. We oppose all forms of discrimination. Therefore, we stand firmly against Trump's recent travel ban targeting Muslims. This step towards official discrimination is an attack on all of us.
The IWW stands for organizing and building power for the most vulnerable workers, including all low-wage workers and immigrants. We are heartened to see the massive resistance that sprang up immediately after the order, with people showing their outrage at airports across the country. We are particularly excited by the New York City taxi workers who stopped service at JFK airport, and the airline workers who refused to comply with the ban. There is a palpable feeling that all decent people understand that we need to stand together on this until every non-citizen is allowed entry into the country without fear of reprisal or repercussion.

Victim still in Harborview Hospital; Shooter is well-known right wing gun activist.
SEATTLE, WA, January 25, 2017 — Social media activists claim to have identified the person who shot an anti-racist organizer on the University of Washington's Seattle (UW-Seattle) campus on Friday, January 20, 2017, as a well-known right-wing gun activist attending white nationalist Milo Yiannopoulos' event with his wife, also a gun activist. Although the shooter shot a person in a protest situation, University of Washington Police have refused to make an arrest, and released the shooter and the person who accompanied them to turn themselves into the police early Saturday morning. King County prosecutor Dan Satterberg has not indicated any plan to pursue prosecution. Local politicians have remained ominously quiet.

Householders were bracing themselves today after heavy rainfall in northern England and Wales caused surging river levels to teeter near bursting point.
Temporary flood defences were put up following prolonged deluges yesterday that prompted the Environment Agency to issue 28 flood warnings in the worst hit communities.
Forecasters have predicted more rain in northern regions today, adding to fears that some rivers could breach their banks.
A number of flood warnings are in place in Cumbria, with low-lying areas along the River Eden including Appleby and Carlisle at risk.
Parts of Yorkshire and Northumberland have also been issued with warnings, including Masham, Ilkley, Wetherby and Falstone.
According to the Environment Agency, a flood warning means flooding is expected and that immediate reaction is required.
The rain is set to continue today, with showers expected to fall on already sodden ground in northern England and Wales.
Lindsay Dovey, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "Today a band of rain will move across Wales and north west England which will move south east throughout the day.
"There will be heavy bursts in it which will add to the high levels which have already fallen. Scotland will also experience heavy rainfall of up to 10mm per hour this morning, which will break up throughout the day."
In Shap, Cumbria, 110mm of rain was recorded yesterday along with wind gusts of 69mph.
Temporary flood defences were put up in Appleby on the River Eden following the deluges, but Environment Agency officials said some properties, roads and land were still at risk.
Staff also removed debris from rivers in a bid to prevent blockages that could cause flooding and ensure the affected areas were "as prepared as possible" against floods.
People in the worst-hit regions have been urged to check the Environment Agency website for the latest flood situations and sign-up for free flood warnings.
"Those living in Appleby, Kendal, Burnside and Keswick should tune into their local radio stations, ensure important documents are in a safe place and check their flood plans," added the Environment Agency spokesman last night.
Flood warnings are also in place in North Wales which recorded the highest rainfall of yesterday - 114mm in Capel Curig, Conwy.
North Wales Fire Service said it attended three "minor" floods at properties near Betws-y-Coed, in the Conwy Valley, Snowdonia, yesterday, but was not aware of any incidents overnight.
A spokeswoman for Cumbria Fire Service also said there had not been any major flooding incidents overnight.
Forecasters predict the rain should clear away to the South East on Monday before it becomes colder, with maximum temperatures reaching 10C.
The Environment Agency reduced the number of flood warnings to 27 this morning, while 69 flood alerts were in place in areas where flooding was a possibility.
Meanwhile, the Met Office issued a severe weather warning of heavy rain across Wales, with 15 to 25mm expected to fall in most regions throughout the day. Bursts of up to 50mm are expected in high areas.
Cumbria, Lancashire, Northumberland and Yorkshire were also warned of heavy rain for the first half of today.

Nothing seems to go away,
And nothing can ever stay the same,
And while all my problems choose to stay,
I can never find out who to blame.
Give me a roll of duct tape,
Because I want to fix everything wrong,
Just take a step back and let me escape,
Even though I can't hide from everything for long.
I don't want anyone to get hurt anymore,
Only because I can't contain all of this stress,
But angst or not I can't just ignore,
How everything's fallen into a chaotic mess.

text: OverviewBack to top Carlson Labs - Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg. - 120 Capsules Item# :118637UPC# :088395079214 Brand:Carlson Labs Size/Form:120 Capsules Ship Weight:0.30 Servings:120 Dosage:1 Capsule(s) Carlson Labs - Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg. - 120 Capsules Carlson Labs Acetyl-L-Carnitine supports memory and concentration. Each capsule contains 590 mg. of Acetyl L-Carnitine Hydrochloride, which provides 500 mg. of Acetyl-L-Carnitine, an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Natural Color Soy-Free Milk-Free Wheat-Free Corn-Free Yeast-Free Sugar-Free Salt-Free Gluten-Free Preservative-Free Carlson Excipients InformationYour Needs are ImportantCarlson Laboratories is keenly aware of what the health-conscious consumer wants in a nutritional supplement. Although nutritional supplements are chosen primarily for their active ingredients, the other ingredients (excipients) needed to make the tablet, capsule, or liquid are just as important to those concerned about their health. For this reason, excipients are only used in Carlson products when absolutely necessary and in the smallest amounts possible. When they are needed, Carlson's choice is based on naturalness and purity. BinderHolds the ingredients in a tablet together. One of three types of binders are used as required: Plant fiber known as cellulose, acacia gum from the stem of the Acacia tree, or brazil wax from the leaves of a palm tree. FillerFills out the size and shape of a tablet or capsule making it practical to produce and convenient for the consumer to use. Plant cellulose (pure plant filler) is the filler of choice in Carlson tablets or hard gelatin capsules. Soybean or safflower oil is used in soft gelatin capsules. DisintegrateExpands when wet causing the tablet to break apart in the digestive tract releasing the nutrients for absorption. Carlson prefers to use plant cellulose as a disintegrate. LubricantPrevents ingredients from clumping together and from sticking to the tablet punches or capsule filler. Common minerals, silica, and forms of vegetable oils known as vegetable stearin, magnesium stearate, or stearic acid are the most often used lubricants in Carlson tablets or hard gelatin capsules. CoatingProtects tablet ingredients from deterioration by moisture in the air and makes large tablets easier to swallow. For most coated tablets, a cellulose (plant fiber) film coating is used which is free of sugar and potential allergy-causing substances. Occasionally, other coating materials are used such as corn protein (zein) or an extraction from trees (pharmaceutical glaze). SweetenersAdded to make the nutrients more palatable only in chewable tablets or liquids. Sweeteners found naturally in fruits such as fructose and sorbitol are chosen. Flavors and ColorsAdded to improve the taste or appearance of a formulation. Carlson uses flavors and colors only when necessary and choose the natural ones. VitaminsVitamins are organic compounds that are necessary for normal growth and maintenance of life. As we are unable to synthesize vitamins, we must rely on foods and food supplements to maintain adequate amounts in our body. Thirteen essential vitamins have been isolated and these are divided into two categories, water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. The water-soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and the group of B-Vitamins. These water-soluble are not stored by the body and can be readily depleted. The fat- soluble vitamins A, D, and E remain in the body for longer periods of time. MineralsAlthough minerals make up only a small fraction of total body weight (4-5%), they are essential for human metabolism. Minerals act as the catalysts for many biochemical reactions within the human body. They are involved in responses of the nervous system and muscles, the absorption and secretions of the body's fluids, and maintain a delicate water balance within the body. The bones and teeth of our body have high mineral contents which accounts for their hardness and rigidity. Minerals, like vitamins, must also be supplied by dietary means as we are unable to synthesize them in our body. About Carlson LabsFounded by John and Susan Carlson in 1965, Carlson Laboratories has been a family owned and operated business for over 40 years. Since no one cares more about quality than the people who put their names on it, Carlson Laboratories is dedicated to providing only the highest quality nutritional supplements.

Today the Carlson sisters continue to ensure that the Carlson family name represents the quality supplements people have come to expect.

They love tossing their little cat toys up in the air and running after them. They wrestle, climb and play with each other in their foster home. They are also snugly and affectionate.
Mom was found stray in Albany Park along with her litter. She was obviously an escaped housecat due to her friendly nature and socialization. The kittens quickly became social as well as soon as they were brought inside and shown love. They are all wonderful with other cats, but have not yet met a dog.
They use their litter box like well-behaved cats. They are very healthy, de-wormed, up-to-date on vaccines, virus tested negative and will be spayed/neutered and micro-chipped upon adoption.
To meet and possibly adopt Ayla, Ellie, Cara, Possum or Calder please contact the Feline Friends rescue group at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com and if you have specific questions about their personalities, please contact their foster mom Julie at email@example.com or 773-294-7131. They are being fostered in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood. Their adoption fee of $125 each benefits the rescued pets of Feline Friends.

Vasavis.com, an initiative by group of devotees of Goddess Vasavi, whose mission is to spread the message of Goddess Vasavi. As a first step, a book on Goddess Vasavi was written by veteran novelist Sri Malladi Venkata Krishna Murthy (who has written more than 150 novels and 3000 short stories in Telugu) titled Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari Charitra. This unique book presents complete story of Goddess Vasavi and attempts to break the myth that Goddess Vasavi is Mother of Vysya community only.

And now summer is here
Summer brings warm weather
The kids are out of school until fall comes

Their hopes of making it to the champship
And all the fun summer brings
With that the kids will have fun
All summer long
And that is what summer is all about

Digital cameras have undergone dramatic improvements over the last 12+ years, but they still don't come close to the human eye's dynamic range capabilities. By some estimates, the human eye can distinguish up to 24 f-stops of dynamic range. Higher end DSLRs such as the Nikon D800 by comparison, can capture up to a theoretical max of 14.4 f-stops of dynamic range. The usable dynamic range of most DSLRs, however, is closer to 5-9 f-stops, considering the impact of noise, which can render some of the DSLRs' f-stop range impractical to exploit. Thus your eyes – at least for now – are still far more capable than the best DSLR relative to recognizing various tonal gradations. As I will demonstrate via my new model, "Doris" (shown below) of the Pittsburgh Zoo, even photos taken with high quality DSLRs sometimes need a bit of extra processing to match what your eyes can see. The photo below is the result of a processing technique I often employ to boost dynamic range when it is apparent that my camera's sensor failed to capture what I remember seeing.
Firmware Updates for Nikon D4, D800/D800E
Nikon has released new firmware update version 1.01 for the Nikon D4, D800 and D800E camera bodies. The major issue resolved is the reported lockup problem.
Pinterest – Copyright Infringement Made Cool?
To start out on a positive note, let me say that I think the story of Pinterest is inspiring. It is tempting to believe that many of the simpler ideas associated with innovation have been thought of, and only very complex, time consuming, expensive initiatives can break new ground. Along comes Pinterest, offering an extremely simple idea – providing the electronic paradigm of a corkboard with photos, recipes, and other notes that people want to keep handy and visible, and giving them the opportunity to link to those of others. If anyone doubts that there is always a simple, yet powerful idea lurking around the corner, look no further than Pinterest.
A Little Comfort as You Anxiously Await Your D800 or D4 or 5D MK III arrival
As I, like many of you, have been waiting for a new Nikon camera body to arrive, a recurring thought has come to my mind. It comes from the words of my father and it might hold a cure for what ails you if you, like me, suffer from common Diseases that Plague Photographers. Whenever I wanted something badly, but couldn't seem to get it fast enough, he would say, "Anticipation is greater than realization". To a young, impatient boy then and to an older, impatient man now, those words never seemed to comfort me as my father might have liked. Although never very comforting, they were very true.
Greta Got My Nikon D800…
A little more than a week ago, I realized why I had not received my Nikon D800. Through sources that cannot be named, I was informed that Greta Van Susteren, the well-known commentator at the Fox News Network, received the camera originally assigned to my order. I was further surprised to find this unique note (below) from the delivery service. Today's GretaWire confirmed that my D800 was already being used!
Nikon vs Canon vs Fuji in a Studio
I have been super busy working on a couple of big projects lately and this weekend I helped out Lola with her bridal work. While setting up the lights, I decided to try out and shoot with three different cameras – the Nikon D800 (see the recently published review of the Nikon D800), the Canon 5D Mark III (a full review is coming up in a couple of weeks) and the Fuji X-Pro 1 (also coming up for a review soon).
iPad 3 Wallpapers from Nikon D800
I decided to post a couple of iPad 3 (a.k.a. the "New iPad" or just "the iPad") wallpapers taken by the Nikon D800 while I am working on the upcoming Nikon 85mm f/1.8G lens review. I am hoping to publish it within the next few days, so that I could start working on reviewing the Canon 5D Mark III and some high-end Canon lenses. These images were requested by our readers in higher resolution and since the new iPad has a whopping 2048×1536 pixel retina display, I thought it would be better to extract them in a bigger size. They should also work as wallpapers for the original iPad and iPad 2, but obviously the images are not going to be as detailed…
Nikon D800 vs D700 FPS and Buffer Comparison
Many of our readers have been asking me to provide some information on how the new Nikon D800 (see our review) compares to the Nikon D700 (see our review) in terms of speed ("fps" or "frames per second") and camera buffer. In the below video, I show the performance of both cameras side by side when shooting 14-bit Lossless Compressed RAW images with very fast SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB compact flash memory:
Nikon D800 for Sports and Wildlife Photography
While the Nikon D4 is the proper tool for sports and wildlife photography due to its faster speed and extreme ISO capabilities, many photographers are also looking at the Nikon D800 for action photography. First, the high-resolution sensor could give some "reach" opportunities with plenty of options to crop in-camera (DX mode) or in post (I highly recommend to do it in post instead of in-camera). Second, the AF system on the D800 is identical to the one on the D4 (Advanced Multi-CAM 3500FX). And lastly, noise characteristics of the D800 are very similar to the D4 when images are down-sampled to 16 MP (down-sampling can also result in increased sharpness). The biggest disadvantage is the slow 4 FPS speed of the D800.
Images from Another World
I just came back from a trip and wanted to share some of the images that were taken with the Nikon D800. Since I did not have a chance to shoot much with the D800 before the trip, my Nikon D800 Review had very few sample images, some of which were pretty bad for my taste. But as I have already pointed out, I had to publish the review before my trip, because our readers kept on sending me emails on a daily basis, asking when the review will be available. It is still a work in progress, so I will be updating it with more information this week. Check back the review occasionally and you will find more valuable information with plenty of details. Some readers requested me to provide more image samples and comparisons with the 5D Mark III and the D700, so I will do that later this week as well.

In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all. On the eve of Armageddon, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope - and a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands.
©1989 Dan Simmons; (P)2008 Audible, Inc.
Hugo Award, Best Novel, 1990
Locus Award, Best Novel, 1990
"Dan Simmons has the Midas touch: Every genre he writes - whether SF, horror, mystery, historical, or thriller - he turns to gold. Hyperion and The Fall Of Hyperion set a new standard for grand-scale science fiction." (Kevin J. Anderson, author of The Saga of Seven Suns)
"Dan Simmons was a star from the outset. It was the Hyperion books that made him a superstar. The man, quite simply, is what we in the trade call a writer's writer." (Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author)
Each of [the pilgrim's] stories would make a superb novella on its own. (The New York Times Book Review, Gerald Jonas)
"The Shrike Awaits. Enter The Time Tombs..."
I read this series back in its first published hardcovers, so I look at this book with a judgmental eye - Is it a worthy listen, and its subsequent writings? Here's my take on this audiobook.
This is outstanding scifi, to the point. It reminds me of "The Mote In God's Eye," in its depth, solid character backstories and various perspectives. As in the mentioned comparison, this is complex storytelling that makes you consider as you listen. Each character has purpose and propels the story along, often in unexpected ways. This is THOUGHTFUL scifi, with tremendous respect for the reader's/listener's time, intellect, and maturity. If you want pulp scifi, go listen to Heinlein - This one's for those hungry for a story with meat on its bones, one that makes you want more. One that makes you want to listen to it again, in case you missed something important, and that's quite possible, with this fantastic scifi audiobook.
What's it all about, you ask? Again, Audible listener, I give only hints in reviews, neither plots nor spoilers here. Here's a taste of what your hear...
Knights Templar traveling across the galaxy in living trees. A undying priest carries
a nightmarish secret from an abandoned zombie-like congregation, a woman becomes younger each day, and races to beat the clock, literally. A virtual reality-trained military leader seeks the love of a woman haunting him in his computer-driven landscape. A drunken writer seeks the final and ultimate story. A spacefaring horde, soon to arrive in the known space of man, to conquer and enslave the billions that fear their arrival. And of course, they all seek the Shrike, a man-shaped judge and jury covered in blades, riding the currents of the time tombs, bringing death to most, and life to some.
And that just scratches the surface.
These various stories and their perspectives come together to create a great tale, and you'll definitely want more.
The narration team does a good job to bring this audiobook to life - If you read my other reviews, you know I'm BRUTAL on narrators. The can make or break the author's work. So, "good" is high praise coming from me.
All in all, this is an audiobook that you'll like.
So the Shrike awaits. Enter the Time Tombs, Audible listener, and be judged!
"Bleak & Intense Sci-Fi"
The first of two books in the series focuses on a universe where a far flung civilization is in decline. Seven disparate people embark on a reluctant pilgrimage to an ambiguous and malignant entity.
During the journey they tell their stories in an effort to puzzle out why they've been chosen, and how they can use their shared experiences to achieve their individual goals.
Wonderfully written characters make this bleak, intense book worth reading. But be forewarned, the experiences they share are dark! This is not a joyful read, but an extremely memorable one. Definitely a must for Sci-Fi fans.
Let's face it, these authors aren't paying me, so there's no need to lie!!
"A LESSON in How to Write Smart, Dark, ADULT SciFi"
First off, this review pertains only to THIS book. I have no idea how the rest of the books in this series are. As many reviews point out, this book is really only a prologue to the 2nd book. This one sets up the incredible characters that will take you through that one.
This book is the way that adult SciFi should be. It doesn't skirt the edges of "PG-rated" SciFi, like so many authors feel the need to in this genre. It knows it's a twisted dark animal, and it's not afraid to lick the toilet. The characters are very real, and incredibly flawed. Each has their own story, which is compelling, imaginative, and unique.
The world Simmons sets up is very believable. For the most part, he uses current science to back up the future technology he's woven into the story. He takes very few liberties with "fantasy crap SciFi", which I have to admire. If you're an intelligent adult, with a pension for science, then this is your kind of SciFi. Trust me, it doesn't get much better than this!
This book certainly makes me want to read the rest of the books in this series. The only reason the narrators got 4 stars instead of 5 is because the girl's voice was, at times, not that great. Also, the fact that there are multiple narrators was a little jarring at certain points.
Fantasy/Sci-Fi Fan
"Excellent start to a series that finds religion."
Dan Simmons creates an amazing future with interesting technology where man's impact on the universe has some pretty significant ramifications for their own survival. This book kicks off the series in fine style and keeps you interested right up until the very bizarro ending.
The main story arc is about a pilgrimage to a distant planet to visit the Time Tombs. As you listen you know there is a lot at stake on the pilgrimage and you try to put together the pieces of the puzzle as you learn about each of the characters. Each one has their own significant reason for going to Hyperion and the future of mankind will be impacted by the outcome.
You will have to pick up book 2 if you really want to know how that all turns out as this book abruptly ends after all the build up. I was a big fan right until the ending which felt severely out of place to me. Book two wasn't nearly as good and for me all the excellent build up was wasted.
As the series goes on it finds religion and that is when it started to lose me. Combine the extremely complicated world of the AIs with the focus on Christianity for the humans and I found myself wishing I was listening to something else. I wasn't offended by it, I just didn't find the whole religous aspect of the books to be that interesting. Sadly it became the major focus of the series and my enjoyment dropped off significantly. I did listen to all 4 books and I enjoyed the first and last books more than books 2 and 3.
I enjoyed the narration and liked the ensemble cast used in book 1.
"Brilliant and Well Crafted"
After reading the other reviews of this book, I am compelled to submit my own. First, this is a very well crafted science fiction classic. It creates an entire future universe that is both plausible and fascinating. Second, the story and characters are well developed, intriguing and real. I highly recommend this book. I agree that the female narrator was initially irritating, but once her story begins, becomes more interesting and you get lost in her tale. Be warned however, this only one-half of the book. For complete closure, you will need to read The Fall of Hyperion. Read back to back, this is a brilliant tale of the future with real and unique characters and storyline. This book is well deserving of both the Hugo Award and Locus Award for Best Novel of 1990.
"More than a book"
The important thing to understand is that is the first part of series and in reality this book is little more than a prologue. That being said it is a gripping first chapter. The hyperion series is more than a story, it is a work of philosophical and religious fiction that explores the meaning of life and the universe. Don't take that to mean its not full of action, it is. This series has everything in it from medieval sword fights to massive space battles and the destruction of worlds.
At its heart this is the story of mankind's struggle for true transcendence. The plot is deep and convoluted involving substantial time travel and is its secrets cannot be fully understood until the last book. This is a work that you have to begin with some faith that at some point it will all make sense. Trust me, it does and the final revelation in The Rise of Endymion is remarkable.
Christians beware, this book may challenge many of your belifes in uncomfortable ways.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"Astonishingly good"
I don't write separate reviews for books in a series. Especially here, where Hyperion has been called the prologue to the Fall of Hyperion (FoH), it's been intimated that the former cannot stand on its own and I agree. Some have compared and contrasted the two connoting that there is perhaps a lack of cohesion and that they are very dissimilar. To that end, I disagree. The "prologue" smoothly transitions into the main body of the work and feels completely natural. Taken together, the two seem very much a part of a cohesive whole.
I was skeptical that the stellar cast of narrators of Hyperion could be equaled by a single actor, albeit Victor Bevine in FoH. Mr. Bevine was phenomenal and I never, at any point in the listening, felt like the work was diminished.
It is good that I have listened to this author later in life. Having been brought up reading the classics of all genre of literature, it is often difficult to appreciate lesser works after having experienced the masters. Dan Simmons is a master when compared to authors of any genre. I have heard Simmons compared to Dickens. Truly in his development of characters, the comparison seems a fair one. It would be hard to compare the plot of this work to that of any other.
Often fraught with and characterized by fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtapositions, the work is almost too much to be believed. But somehow Simmons makes it all believable for some time in the future. Unlike some classic, older SciFi which seemed futuristic when it was written but then later became seemingly dated, this piece is fresh, modern or hopefully even timeless. There's religion, technology, philosophy, excitement, a great deal of love and caring among seven pilgrim strangers and funny, now that I think about it, only one real villain in a world that is more vast than I can even imagine. This is truly a magnum opus in every sense of the word.
"Classic Sci-fi"
A great sci-fi story told in the "frame story" format. (Like Canterbury Tales.) Seven very different people are on a pilgrimage together to Hyperion and each of their back-stories unfolds the plot.
What I liked best about this story is that in addition to being a great story and setting, (common in good sci-fi/fantasy) the author happens to be a great writer (not so common even in good sci-fi/fantasy). You can tell that the author has a love of science and futurism but also a love of language and poetry. (References to Keats abound.)
Warning: When I started this book I thought it was a stand-alone novel. However, it ends abruptly and I'm told that the Fall of Hyperion finishes the story.
Im actually Christines husband piggybacking n her Amazon account. That said, I am a bit of a geek, and work in the engineering field.
This story is clumsily populated with anachronisms, and non-essentials juxtaposed with obvious scientific understanding.
The author, at times leaves the story behind, apparrently for no other reason than to showcase his abilities as a writer, The story moves extremly slowly, and the only reason that I trugded through it was the overwhelmingly positive reviews that it got and that I already spent the credit on it.
In the end, it was worth the credit but just barely. as abruptly as the first book ended, I dont know that I am interested in the main characters enough to find out what happened to them. I may or may not get it.
This has caused me to question the reviews that a book gets.
This is not only a great story, well performed and well written. It is also particularly interesting for stepping through 6 different contrasting genres of writing extremely well. I loved this and would highly recommend it.

Celebrity Judges Join Panel For Third Annual Art Of Brooklyn Film Festival, May 15-19 2013
The 2013 Art of Brooklyn Film Festival today announced the Judges Panel for its third annual Festival, which takes place May 15-19. Joining the industry-heavy Panel are actors Annabella Sciorra and Eric Mabius and directors Elliott Lester and Demian Lichtenstein. The AoBFF is unique in that it only screens films that have a meaningful connection to Brooklyn; every film's cast or crew were born and raised or live and work here, or the film was shot in or inspired by the borough.
"Hollywood has always had a love affair with Brooklyn," said actor and native Brooklynite Annabella Sciorra (Jungle Fever, The Sopranos) who became a judge after following the Art of Brooklyn on Twitter. "I love what the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival is doing… their mission to focus on Brooklyn films and filmmakers speaks to me because I was born and raised here and it influenced who I am as an artist. It's great that my hometown now has a Festival worthy of its incredibly diverse indie film scene."
The AoBFF is unique in that it only screens films that have a meaningful connection to Brooklyn; every film's cast or crew were born and raised or live and work here, or the film was shot in or inspired by the borough.
Other new judges for 2013 include producer/director Demian Lichtenstein (3000 Miles to Graceland), director/film archivist Mary Engel (Little Fugitive, Ordinary Miracles) and Terry Nelson, Festival Director for the Beacon Independent Film Festival.
Actor and frequent Brooklyn resident Eric Mabius (Resident Evil, Ugly Betty) has returned to judge the AoBFF for a second year. "I have always loved Brooklyn; it is one of the most creative and productive environments in the world," says Mabius. "These absolutely unique surroundings deserve to be celebrated with a festival possessing the Art of Brooklyn's vision: to be a major industry event that gets everyone excited."
Also returning as a judge is film and commercial director Elliott Lester (Blitz, Love is the Drug) "Brooklyn is long overdue for a major film festival," said Lester. "I heard about the AoBFF in LA from producer Dustin Williams and asked to be a judge. These guys are smart and well-connected, and I'm excited about this festival — it could be Brooklyn's Tribeca."
Other judges coming back for 2013 include actor and curator at Michigan's prestigious Waterfront Film Festival Christine Elise McCarthy (ER, 90210), director/producer Digger T. Mesch (Cinescape magazine's Power 100) and Annette Danto, filmmaker and Professor of Film at Brooklyn College.
Executive Director Joseph Shahadi says, "Brooklyn needs a major independent film festival.
We formed the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival in 2010 to create a large-scale platform for indie film in the borough. In just three short years Hollywood has begun to notice us and the support of these high-profile judges is proof of that."

Excellent deal. Utilized the 2 day deal. The bus was easy to get and once we identified the places where it stopped. There's lots of them. The buses run often and we never had to wait more than 15 minutes to catch another. Note that the buses come in a variety of colors - just watch the signage on the bus to be sure you get on the right one or ask the drivers who were all very helpful. Most of the guides on the bus were very informative and humorous. Learned a lot about San Antonio. Would recommend this service to anyone for it's ease and affordability.
July 2016
San Antonio is a very nice place especially seein the Alamo. Unfortunately we were only there for a few hours and ran out of time and didn't get to take our hop on hop off Tour. We definitely recommend taking the tour as it is very hot in San Antonio and to take the tour bus would be a great way of getting all around.
June 2016
Saved a lot of money
June 2016
It is a great way to see all the major sights in a city. You can get off at a sight that may interest you and spend as much time as you want and then hop back on the bus when you are done. It makes it easy to see the sights without having to drive through the crowded city and find parking. You can go around as many times as you want in a day. The drivers are all usually very friendly and helpful. You can start at any point on the tour and end at any point as well. You can get a route map of the tour on line and they also have maps on the buses.
March 2016
A very good value for the money. You dont have to worry about driving to all of these places, parking, or figuring out where to go. You can never go wrong with Hop on Hop Off tours!
March 2016
It was a pleasure being able to stop and stay for whatever length of time we wanted.
February 2016
Great drivers and good locations for hop on hop off.
February 2016
We enjoyed it. Our first driver was the most informative. The other drivers just played the tape. But we enjoyed it and it was certainly a convenience.
November 2015
I was very nice. Our tour guide was very informative and it was fun. I felt very safe.
November 2015
Great way to see the city and get historical information. Loved it!
