The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is a revolutionary camera that delivers on its promise of SLR-like quality in a compact body. Build quality and design are up to Panasonic's usual exemplary standard, and despite its small size the camera handles well. In terms of performance and especially image quality it matches other Four-Thirds system DLSRs. The only downside is the high price compared to an entry-level full-size DLSR.
The camera may be a (fine) first example of the micro four thirds, but what about the lenses?
I gathered that the number of Panasonic lenses currently available for the G1 is very limited. (just not to mention the dismal 5,6 max aperture at an eff FOV of 90 mm of the kit lens).
Lenses of other brands are possible via an adapter. Only...then comes into account the FOV crop factor of 2. So if you want to use a real wide angle like 20mm Eff FOV you need a 10 mm lens. The only 4/3 lens that comes to mind is the Olympus Zuiko 7-14 mm f/4,0. I don't know whether this fits on the G1 but I presume it will, (although maybe via an adapter with loss of some functionaly).
And the limited max aperture (5,6) of the kit lens ensure you to use rather quickly higher ISO's. And already on my screen can I see from your ISO shots a significant loss of detail at 400 ISO.
So, just combining everything I think that, although a major technical accomplishment, as a camera the G1 is very limited in its use, mainly through the lack of good high performance lenses and its crop factor of 2. That added with an in my eyes mediocre (compared with other mid range SLR's) ISO performance makes me wonder how you came to your high score of 9, recommended.
Before the howls of derisive laughter, I made a slight mistake in the voice-over for the video review. The G1 weighs 385g body-only, not 195g, which is the weight of the 14-45mm lens. My apologies for the confusion, I should have spotted that when I wrote the script.
Just in budget mind or a shutterbag, I will not choose Leica nor Lunix. They are alway too expensive. But comparing to what I have paid and the outcome, they are always my favourite. People always complain that four third is too small and too noise. If I take this comparison with mid-format camera and 135 full frame, than we will get a even higher different. For most of consumer that will only view photo on screen or print to as big as A4 size, what G1 produce is excellent and good enough for day to day use. If I really need a big picture, I would rather switch back to 4x5 or larger film camera, which will garantee me to have a noise free picture that 135 or 120 format can compare.
With the reasonable price that Lumix offer, I take it. I am looking forward to wait for the Leica len adapters so that I can use M-lens also.
At 1600 ISO "the image quality is still very good", you say. I think you better should have said: "the image quality starts suffering from visible noise". Don't you agree. But overall I think this camera has a very pretty balance between portabilty and quality.
This camera does not seem to make sense. It is more expensive than a budget DSLR yet offers marginally worse image quality and much less flexibilty in terms of lens choices and accessories. The other thing that was a bit concerning is the bare sensor when the lens is taken off to change lenses. SLR's have the reflex mirror offering a primary barrier to dirt and grit whereas this does not. Most of the built in "self-cleaning" functions (just vibrating mechanisms really) do not do a great job so I don't think that this will help much on this camera. Puzzling product in Panasonic's range, I wonder who will buy one.
@ Yousuf: Well, I for one would already own this camera - IF it had video functionality. It handles wonderfully, and the articulate 3in screen alone is worth a large premium for me (I've been using Canon's Powershot S range till now and don't ever want to go back to fixed screen). It's also smaller than anything else out there. The exposed sensor might be a bit of a worry, but I guess one will just have to be more careful when changing lenses. Speaking of which, more of these will become available over time.
This was a good start. About time the whole concept of welding a new electronic technology to an old mechanical mirror-flip system (due mainly to economic concerns, no less) got challenged; and with an image quality that is quite competitive.
However: the price range is (at least for now) unrealistic, Panasonic did not go the ful Monty (no film mode?! on a ful-time live view camera?!), and the total lack of sensor protection is a major discouragement for those that are "kinda klutzy" (like me), as well as for those that are routinely in less-than-vanilla shooting conditions (dusty, gritty,camera-dangerous environments - also my case).
Guess I'll cool my heels a tad and see what Mark 2 will bring - and at what price.
I was quite impressed at first but it doesn't encourage system building. My humble Sony R1 with all its (so called) faults takes a lot of beating and I'm afraid the G1 doesn't (beat it) and one US reviewer called it a 'Soccer Mom's camera'.I feel more enthusiastic about the Oly E30. I will only think seriously about changing any of my lenses or my cameras when a client complains...Cameras are a tool to do a job not some sort of strange cult icon to be discussed ad. nauseum. I'm getting rather sick of it, clients and agencies buy pics. on their quality and wouldn't know the difference between actuance and resolution if it bit them in the advertising budget. Yes I know that not everyone is a pro.photog. but surely it's 'horses for courses'... peer at 100% crops if you wish but how often do you need a 20"x30" print to view from 8" away? Please do not wish me wiped off the face of the earth, it's just my opinion however dated it may be.
Thanks for the review Cliff. I for one am extremely glad that I trusted your 10/10 review on the less-than-half-this-price, FZ28. The pictures are very nice but so are my amateur fumblings with the itsy bitsy teeny weeny FZ28's CCD, so at first sight this offering is way over priced for no extra quality, which no doubt explains your 7/10 for value. Thanks again!
I find it amusing how many people can complain and moan about a camera (not only this one) without having first used it...I for one have for a long time now, used this website as a reliable guide for new gear. I for one have every faith in this reviewer that the G1 is a superb camera, a view shared by my other source DC Resource. Both rate the G1 glowingly so as an owner of the DMC-LX3 (one of the highest ever rated cameras on this site) I will be purchasing into this new micro 4/3 system. I have compared noise with the Sony DSLRs and the G1 is better equiped, only the Canon's are better from the examples I have seen, so I guess as always, its the Canon/Nikon officionado's that are doing the complaining, jealousy I guess as Canon, good as they are, are hardly known for their revolutionalry approach, safe and simple is their way......Well done Panasonic for designing somthing whilst not revolutionary, certainly different.........
I was thinking to buy the FZ28 soon but this Panasonic G1 is quite tempting anyway - the only big problem for me now is the price... At the moment I can afford the FZ28 so I guess I settle with that and maybe it's better if I wait till probably next year before I can own this Panasonic G1 - maybe by that time it will be cheaper and more lens will be available - maybe. Anyway I love those Lumix/Leica lens, I heard they're quite expensive but they also offer impressive performance. It seems Panasonic are aiming to conquer this "bridge camera" market as Canon and Nikon seems to focus more on their DSLR now.
@Andrew Alan Cameron: Don't worry, wiping our readers "off the face of the earth" is not something we're ever likely to do. We review hardware, not targets :) As to your opinion, it's well-considered and I agree with most of it, especially the concluding part. However, I must object to being classed as a 'Soccer Mom'!
@John Shewsbury: If you wait a little longer yet, there will (hopefully) be the G1 V.2 (maybe called G2?). Should be much the same except have video-recording functionality (which, as Clovis said, should have been included in the first place).
This camera is not an SLR.
This camera appears to be the cheapest option for anyone wanting to move into HDR photography. http://hdr-photography.com/...
Does anyone know anything about the release date for Panasonic's f1.7 20mm pancake lens for the G-1/GH-1. Also, will it likely have anti-shake. Some bloggers have "assumed" it won't, but this doesn't make sense to me, even though it's small since it will be the ultimate small, high-quality, available-light combo when paired with the G-1. Also, does anyone know anything about the projected price or where it will appear first?
Have owned the G1 for nearly 3 months now and more than pleased with it. Most of my photos are taken with low ISO, and the fine detail is superb. Unable to fault it really, but now my A4 printer is too small. I have cropped photos so that the printed part is greater than A3. Now, if only I could get an A3 printer soon !
Some people are misunderstanding what the G1 is. It is not a high end digicam -- it is a direct challenge to the DSLR. It's a fantastic street shooter.
Check out the comparometer at imaging resource: http://www.imaging-resource...
In ordinary light conditions, this camera's images will right up there with the best entry level DSLRs -- such as the Canon Rebel Xsi. Because the kit lens on the Lumix is excellent, and the Xsi's is crap, out of the box in many cases the G1's resolution will actually be finer than the Xsi's -- though that really only matters if you're blowing up pictures to large sizes.
Comparing the G1 to even very good digicams like the LX3 and the G10 is kind of pointless. The G1's sensor is so much larger it is just going to blow those cameras away for detail and range of color.
There are really only two places a traditional DSLR such as the Xsi will do better -- sports photography and low-light performance. The other big disadvantage of the G1 right now is limited lens availability.
But the strengths of this camera -- the live view capabilities, the powerful bracketing -- are things you may not appreciate till you see them up close.
All in all, this is a phenomenal camera to kick off the Micro Four Thirds world, and it will no doubt be followed by even more phenomenal cameras. I think within a couple of years a lot of people will be abandoning DSLRs for this format.
Unlike all other models of Lumix, G1 comes with inferior Lumix lens instead of high quality Leica lens. I think all the reviews should mention it boldly to make the consumers aware of the issue.
Dear Cliff or anybody else who have tried this G1, with the bundled lens kit, what is the nearest distance possible for Macro shooting? With my Panasonic FZ28 for example, I can go as near as 4cm or about 2 inch to the subject and the lens can still focus and captured the image accordingly... I am more into Macro shooting but I heard the Macro lens for this Micro Four Thirds system is as expensive as the DSLR one in which I can't afford at the moment.
I bought a G1 a month ago and it has revitalised my photography. It is much lighter than a SLR and the kit lenses are as good as you will ever need, providing no detectable bad effects. The lenses image stabilisation is great allowing good low light performance without flash paticularly useful in museums etc. Photos of otters taken at 400mm on a dull day (35mm equivalent) were very acceptable.
The camera has easy to use controls and the bracketing is superb. I particularly like the non fiddly on/off switch that is handy to save battery power. The intelligent auto feature is also a great bonus as it invariably sets an exposure that no amount of programme, aperture or manual setting can better. I have bought a Metz 58A flash to go with it with super results.
All this kit (camera, 2xlenses and flash) fits into a standard camcorder bag for easy transportation. Camera with lens is small enough to stuff inside a coat.
A very well thought out bit of high tech kit - Great.
This camera is absolutely brilliant! I knew nothing about photography, so I thought it was time to buy something decent. After reading loads of reviews of different cameras, I plumped for the G1, and I have absolutely no regrets. It cost a total of £350 (With the £50 cash back offer from Panasonic), and I think it's worth every penny. Ok, it hasn't got a mirror...So what?!! And I'm sure there'll be more lenses etc as time goes on. I'll be buying the 200mm zoom asap!! 10/10.
"Unlike all other models of Lumix, G1 comes with inferior Lumix lens instead of high quality Leica lens"
I have the G1 and I've found the lens to be of exceptional quality. I read loads of reviews of this camera and lens before I bought it, and every review stated that the 14-45mm kit lens was note-worthy both for its build quality and its performance!
They weren't wrong!
Hi John, there is a Leica 45mm macro lens for this camera which apparently gives amazing results. Not sure of the price though...
"Puzzling product in Panasonic's range, I wonder who will buy one?
I did. And it's absolutely brilliant! And I know of many more people who have one. I don't understand how anyone can say it has pure image quality - the resolution is astounding! Have you read this review??!!
The price drop makes it sensible to compete with budget SLRs now.

So, I had been watching Blacklist. I was really enjoying it for like 3-4 episodes then I noticed that EVERY episode is the same.
1. Someone dies.
2. They investigate it.
3. Someone else dies, but they almost stop it!
4. They hunt the baddie.
5. Baddie dies.
It's not just that show but there are many that have a pattern that doesn't differ much from episode to episode.
Pretty much so EVERY season and EVERY episode of Supernatural is the same.
It's annoying. After I notice it i'll watch another episode just to verify then it's pretty much so dead to me.

We're counting down the 10 most electrifying moments from
the Bulls' 2013 regular season. Follow along each day as we
reveal a new highlight leading up to the bowl game.
Opposing offenses fear the Bulls' No. 46. That's Khalil Mack, a senior linebacker from Fort Pierce, Fla. A Football Writers Association first-team All-American, Mack also won the 2013 Jack Lambert Award as the nation's top linebacker and is a projected top 10 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. He's also the NCAA career record-holder in forced fumbles and tackles for a loss.
"Big game today for @UBAthletics...lets go #UBNation...lets get our #HornsUp! Thank you @IDPotatoBowl for inviting us!!! #BowlingBulls #ESPN"
— NK @nirmitkumar
Social media is buzzing as Bulls fans everywhere put their horns up in support of the royal blue and white. Join the stampede by posting your best "horns up" selfie to #HornsUp on your favorite social media channel.
Head coach Jeff Quinn has more than 25 years of coaching experience, which includes engineering an unstoppable offense at nationally ranked Cincinnati under current Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly. Quinn's offensive schemes have helped the Bulls achieve record-breaking numbers over each of his four seasons, while making steady improvements in the win column.
The year 1958 will forever be remembered as one of the greatest seasons in UB football history. On the strength of an 8-1 record, the Bulls earned an invitation to the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando against Florida State. Though it was the team's first ever bowl bid, they unanimously voted to turn down the invitation when they learned that their two African-American teammates wouldn't be allowed to play.
Super Bowl XLV champion James Starks of the Green Bay Packers is just one of several recent Bulls alums selected in the NFL draft. Other recent picks include Josh Thomas (Dallas Cowboys) and Steven Means (Tampa Bay Buccaneers).
The next best thing to going to the game? Cheering on the team with fellow Bulls fans at a "watch party." At homes and in restaurants from Brooklyn to LA, TVs will be tuned to ESPN as fans gather and horns go up for kick-off.


text: Also silly....Pacific Northwesterners typically only care about local products (whether they're good or not is irrelevant to them. Proximity > Quality in the PNW)... Singler actually got ridiculously loud cheers during the pre-game introductions. Hill also obliged the locals by giving this avg local product 40 MINUTES. The Portland Tribune writes about Singler being in Detroit like a jail sentence as though DET should be a good team if Singler is going to have to be stuck there...HA! As though, Singler doesn't bear any responsibility for being good. It's up to DET to not suck for Singler. I actually had a guy turn around to tell me, "The only thing good about Detroit is Rodney Stuckey...he went to Eastern Washington....that's where I went." ...I ended the conversation there.

It is actually the band name my friend and I came up with for our Rockband band name. It comes from the theme song from a show called "Perfect Hair Forever." In the lyrics, it says "Watch out for bears; to them you are spaghetti dinner."
I've always loved how ridiculously obvious the line "Watch out for bears" sounds.

He's already fogged and will probably print. There's no need to be rude and mean about it. The posts critiquing his design are obviously not losing him votes.

Defense Drives Green Bay's 12th-Straight Victory
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Brian Wardle has preached the team's mantra of Compete, Defend and Rebound throughout his tenure as Green Bay's head coach. Sunday's afternoon contest provided a pretty strong statement on the effectiveness of that philosophy.
Green Bay (17-3, 7-0 HL) shot just 28.3 percent from the field (13-46) against visiting Detroit (9-13, 2-5 HL) at the Resch Center, but the Phoenix defense held the Titans without a field goal for the final 8:57 and created a 20-3 advantage in points off turnovers. The end result was a 62-52 victory which extended Green Bay's winning streak to 12 games.
Making just 13-of-46 shots from the field, Green Bay posted the lowest field goal percentage in a victory in the program's 45-year history. The Phoenix, which shot 34-of-41 from the charity stripe, was aided by making 20 more free throws than Detroit.
With five different players scoring between four and eight points, Green Bay jumped ahead to a 28-18 lead late in the first half, but the Titans used a 7-2 run to end the half and cut the deficit to 30-25 at the break.
Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) had just six points at halftime, but scored half of his team's 32 points in the second half to finish with a game-high 22 points. Sykes had a rare rough shooting night but made 11-of-12 free throws en route to his 13th 20-point game of the season. The 13 20-point games are the fourth-most in the program's Division I history.
Detroit scored 13 of the first 15 points of the second half to lead 38-32 with 15:56 on the clock. The Titans still held the lead (50-47) when Carlton Brundidge scored on a layup at the 8:57 mark, but Sykes scored on a dunk, sophomore Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) converted a floater and senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) drained a three during a 7-0 run that gave the hosts the lead for good.From the 8:57 mark on, Green Bay's defense held Detroit to just two points on 0-for-7 shooting from the field and five turnovers. The Titans only points during that stretch came on two free throws with 6:19 remaining. For the game, Detroit shot 31.5 percent from the field (17-54) and committed 16 turnovers. Titans' leading scorer Juwan Howard, Jr., guarded mostly by sophomores Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) and Love, was held to only three points on 1-of-10 shooting.
Junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Phoenix while Love added 10 points and three steals while going a perfect 6-of-6 from the line. Brown added seven points, six rebounds and three blocks and Fouse finished with six points, five rebounds, three blocks and two steals.
Green Bay will be back in action on Wednesday at Valparaiso at 7 p.m. before returning home to the Resch Center for a three-game homestand against Wright State (Feb. 1, 6 PM), UIC (Feb. 5, 7 PM) and Milwaukee (Feb. 8, 1 PM).

text: Ernie, this is what a few of us have been pointing out. If Stuckey is not a point guard as many now believe, some of those same reasons is why he is questionable as a first string two. You have to have a certain skill set for the two and shooting the ball is high on the list. I am very concerned that Joe is being stubborn and is committed to signing Stuckey to a big contract without considering his performances. Now three games is not the biggest sample. And he will have good games too. But even one good game, one bad game will help to produce a .500 ball club. I don't understand why fans have gotten down on so many the top Piston players during that incredible run, Tay, Billips, etc., but do not give Stuckey's game anywhere near the same scrutiny. Let the facts of the games speak.

Astrud Gilberto
Born in Bahia, Gilberto moved to Rio de Janeiro at an early age. She'd had no professional musical experience of any kind until 1963, the year of her visit to New York with her husband, João Gilberto, in a recording session headed by Stan Getz. Getz had already recorded several albums influenced by Brazilian rhythms, and Verve teamed him with the cream of Brazilian music, Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto, for his next album. Producer Creed Taylor wanted a few English vocals for maximum crossover potential, and as it turned out, Astrud was the only Brazilian present with any grasp of the language. After her husband laid down his Portuguese vocals for the first verse of his and Jobim's composition, "The Girl From Ipanema," Astrud provided a hesitant, heavily accented second verse in English.
Not even credited on the resulting LP, Getz/Gilberto, Astrud finally gained fame over a year later, when "The Girl From Ipanema" became a number five hit in mid-1964. The album became the best-selling jazz album up to that point, and made Gilberto a star across America. Before the end of the year, Verve capitalized on the smash with the release of Getz Au Go Go, featuring a Getz live date with Gilberto's vocals added later. Her first actual solo album, The Astrud Gilberto Album, was released in May 1965. Though it barely missed the Top 40, the LP's blend of Brazilian classics and ballad standards proving quite infectious with easy listening audiences.
Though she never returned to the pop charts in America, Verve proved to be quite understanding for Astrud Gilberto's career, pairing her with ace arranger Gil Evans for 1966's Look to the Rainbow and Brazilian organist/arranger Walter Wanderley for the dreamy A Certain Smile, a Certain Sadness, released later that year. She remained a huge pop star in Brazil for the rest of the 1960s and '70s, but gradually disappeared in America after her final album for Verve in 1969. In 1971, she released a lone album for CTI (with Stanley Turrentine) but was mostly forgotten in the U.S. until 1984, when "Girl From Ipanema" recharted in Britain on the tails of a neo-bossa craze. Gilberto gained worldwide distribution for 1987's Astrud Gilberto Plus the James Last Orchestra and 2002's Jungle. ~ John Bush

Coming close on the heels of the recent federal government shutdown and narrowly avoided default, this discussion will explore the relationship between the president and Congress. What have we learned from recent events about the shifting nature of power between the executive and legislative branches? How have different presidents, in relation to Congress, approached leadership and authority; negotiation and compromise? Is partisan brinksmanship the new norm both in Congress and in the relationship between the president and Congress? What is driving the gridlock? Where is the greatest potential for change? What can individual citizens do?

Sweet talker Emily Kocaj is working with Elise Murphy to organise the Sweets festival and exhibition. She manages community exhibitions at the Immigration Museum and delights in tasting sugary creations from around the world.
The Immigration Museum is working on something very special and super sweet. For the last few months we have been collaborating with five sweets-loving Victorian communities to create Sweets: tastes and traditions from many cultures, a delicious exhibition and festival that are part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival and Cultural Diversity Week in March 2012.
Members of the Indian, Italian, Japanese, Mauritian and Turkish communities have come together with the museum to jointly explore the historical and cultural significance of sweets. This unique project has seen us sharing sweet stories, traditions and recipes with the communities, not to mention fantastic creations from their kitchens!

The Potty Pant is absorbent and was designed to prevent leaks when accidents happen. It was not designed to be as absorbent as a diaper, so may not be appropriate at nap time or bed time for some big-kids-in-training.

Great Trainer
When I started potty training my oldest the trainer that Bummis sold was more like "The Pull-On" with a soaker inside. It was bulky and fit large but did the job. I was very sceptical about these new Potty Pant when they came out but I purchased a few and they are wonderful. They are slim fitting and do not stick out the top of pants like the old style. I find them to have lots of absorbency and great waterproof material. Thank you for the upgrade in product.

Amazing trainer
This cloth trainer is perfect. Our son can pull it on and off himself. It is not a diaper and will not hold a full pee, but that's what a trainer is all about. If he starts to go, it holds enough that he can get to the toilet to finish. When he was first learning, he would wear one on longer car trips and to daycare to prevent any full accidents. It certainly limits to mess from accidents. We've also used it at naptime to help with the transition from diaper to no diaper. One suggestion is to keep the designs/ fabric different from diaper designs - for my son that was a selling feature when he didn't want to wear a 'diaper' anymore but I could convince him to wear the trainer because it looked different.

Love these trainers
These training pants work well. They are great for my daughter. These will leak if the child has big accidents so it's best for little ones. They do fit on the small side which works great for me as I have small kids.

Easy to use; use doubler
My daughter is completely trained now, with the occasional accident. Yet, when we're on a long car ride or a long trip out, I like to put one on her. She hates disposable pull-ups but doesn't complain about it when I don't insert a doubler in. The "doubler" I use is one they had on sale, which was really a trial for cloth mama pads but apparently didn't work out. It fits in very well. The only drawback is that it tends to bunch up if not pulled up very carefully. So, I have to pull it up for her. I plan to buy velcro strips to stick on and secure the pant-doubler pairs. I think that will solve the problem. I haven't yet tested for absorbency because my daughter is 3 now and doesn't technically need a pull-up. I don't know if I'll ever test for absorbency. I hope not! But the sales clerk did tell me that it is unlikely to contain a whole pee without a doubler (Re: Elizabeth's review above). That it was more for an oops moment when they can run to the bathroom quickly.

Love these!
I have 4 different brands of cloth trainers and these are my favourites! They are very absorbent for how trim they are. They will start to wick out of the binding if not changed for a while, but they are trainers not diapers. The inside is very soft unlike some of my other trainers with cotton terry inners. My 2.5 year old can pull them up and down easily enough. He still pees smaller amounts more frequently, so if your child holds it for hours, these may leak more for you. For smaller accidents though, they are awesome!

Disappointed in not so waterproof fabric
We are in the early stages of potty training with my 23 month old. It's a little more like a mix between potty training and elimination communication, so we still have more accidents than not. I was hoping that these potty pants would be waterproof like the flip diapers that I love but with the connivence of pulling up and down for potty time. While they are a great fit and easy to pull up and down, each time she pees without taking it off it goes through the "waterproof fabric" through her clothes and in a puddle on the ground... or the couch! It is no different from her thick cloth gerber underwear we got her for training, that cost much less. I'm very disappointed that they do not contain wetness as claimed.

The Canisius women's basketball team overcame a seven-point second-half deficit and held on late to defeat Bryant University 61-59 at the Koessler Athletic Center on Saturday afternoon. The win snaps a three-game losing streak for the Golden Griffins, who even their record at 4-4 on the season.
Junior Kayla Hoohuli led all players with a career-high 19 points while senior Jamie Ruttle had 10 points for the Griffs. Sophomore Crystal Porter added nine points and eight rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench.
"That was a total team win today. We got a lot of energy and production from our bench that I thought turned the game around in the second half," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "We had to get really gritty at times, and we got stops down the stretch when we needed them.
An up-tempo start to the game saw Canisius drain its first two 3-pointers and take a quick 6-5 lead. The Griffs would cool off from behind the arc, and not make a 3-pointer during the rest of the half as Bryant extended its lead to as many as seven points. The Bulldogs controlled the glass with 12 offensive rebounds leading to nine second-chance points in the first half.
The Griffs kept the deficit within reach by going 12-of-15 from the free-throw line and shooting 7-of-11 on two-point shots. Canisius got within one at 26-25 after back-to-back baskets from sophomore Emily Weber along with a top-of-the-key jumper from Porter. A three-point play from Hoohuli gave Canisius the lead at 31-29 but Bryant scored five of the last six points to take a two-point lead into the locker room.
Bryant (2-6) maintained its lead throughout the first eight minutes of the second half. Canisius kept the Bulldogs within striking distance by riding the play of its bench. Porter used a step-through move on the right block and finished with her off hand to even the score at 42-42 with just over 15 minutes remaining.
After the Bulldogs drained two free throws, senior Jen Morabito cashed in on a wide-open 3-pointer from the top of the key to give Canisius its first lead of the second half at 45-44 and end a stretch of 12 misses for Canisius from behind the arc. The teams would trade the lead four times before the second three-point play of the game from Hoohuli put the Griffs up 55-51. Melissa Corraro drained a 3-pointer from the left wing to make it a one-point game. Hoohuli answered with a deep 3-pointer and Courtney Schissler came right back to make it a one-point game again with 3:30 left.
The Bulldogs scored on a free-throw line jumper from Naana Ankoma-Mensa to take a one-point lead and then Ruttle scored in transition to give the lead right back to Canisius, just 15 seconds later. Neither team would score down the stretch, with Hoohuli taking a charge with 1:37 left, her fourth in the last five games, to keep Canisius in the lead. Oakland had a chance to take the lead with under 30 seconds remaining, but Canisius got a stop as Hoohuli corralled the rebound and split two free throws to make it a two-point game. The Bulldogs missed a 3-pointer in the final seconds and grabbed the offensive rebound, but couldn't get a good look as the buzzer sounded.
Ankoma-Mensa led Bryant with 13 points and 15 rebounds as the Bulldogs held a 51-35 advantage on the glass. Bryant shot 26.2 percent from the floor but was 7-for-19 on 3-pointers and 18-for-22 from the free-throw line.
After a week off from competition for final exams, Canisius wraps up its non-conference schedule at the University of Vermont on Monday, Dec. 16. Tipoff in Burlington, Vt. is set for 7 p.m.
Notes: Canisius and Bryant met for the first time in program history… With Porter on the floor, the teams were even in rebounding (23-23) while Bryant held a 28-12 advantage in the other 21 minutes… Canisius had season highs with 17 free throws and 25 free-throw attempts… The Griffs shot better than 40 percent for the fifth time this season, matching their total from 2012-13… The 26.2 field goal percentage for Bryant was a season low for a Canisius opponent… Canisius led 52-50 with five minutes remaining and improved to 126-11 under Zeh when leading at halftime… Canisius won for the first time this season when trailing at the half.

Suzuki Grand Vitara Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Suzuki Grand Vitara based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The timing chain cover gasket and timing chain tensioner may fail, causing an oil leak or excessive noise. Because removing the timing chain is labor intensive, this can be an expensive repair.
There are many reports of low beam head light bulbs burning out prematurely. As of this writing Suzuki has not released a service bulletin addressing this issue. Using only high quality replacement bulbs, and extra care not to touch the bulb surface when handling the new bulb can help extend the life of the replacement bulbs.
The engine may be difficult to start in cold weather or at high altitude. Our technicians tell us there is a powertrain control module (PCM) software up grade which may help with these issues.
The AC condenser fan motor may fail. If this occurs the air conditioning will stop blowing cold air.
A knocking sound may be noted from the engine when warm due to improper drive belt tension. Correcting the drive belt tension will commonly repair this concern.
A harsh downshift from the automatic transmission my be noted on deceleration. Updating the transmission control module (TCM) software may correct this concern. Software revisions are commonly most helpful on newer vehicles. once the mileage builds up a worn component could cause similar problems. Whenever major transmission work in performed, the transmission software should be updated as necessary.
Creaking of squeaking noises may be noted from the sway bar bushings. Our technicians tell us revised bushings are available which should correct this concern.
An oil leak may develop form the right front axle seal. Our technicians tell us a revised axle seal is available to correct this concern.
Wheel hub noise may can be caused by excess axle shaft hub clearance. Redesigned wheel hubs are available to correct this concern. Our technicians recommend to check the axle nut torque prior to replacing any components.
The power steering may fail due to the drive belt coming off. This is commonly caused by a failed belt tensioner. Our technicians tell us a revised tensioner should be installed along with a new belt. Check with your local Suzuki dealer to see if the factory will pay for this repair.
The automatic transmission may not shift when cold due to debris on the output speed sensor. There is a revised output speed sensor and software update available which should correct this concern.

Colorado Springs Police Officer Arrested
Attempt To Influence A Public Servant
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A Colorado Springs police officer is on paid administrative leave after being arrested on Friday.
Officer Sydney Huffman could face at least two years in prison if convicted on charges of attempting to influence a public servant. It's a class IV felony. A press release from police made it clear that the charges are not official yet with a final decision is in the hands of the district attorney's office.
Huffman was hired by C.S.P.D. in 2008.
In April, police asked the district attorney's officer to look into allegations of misconduct tied to a domestic abuse trial against her ex-boyfriend. That trial went against Huffman.
On Friday, the district attorney's office determined there was enough probable cause to arrest her.
"Obviously this is a very disappointing situation, especially as it trails the arrest of another officer," said Sgt. Steve Noblitt, spokesperson for the police department.
Officer Josh Carrier was arrested earlier this year and has been charged with ten counts of sexual exploitation of a child. Those allegations only came to light after his initial arrest for child pornography.
Though this is another black eye for the department, Noblitt indicated that these incidents, if proven guilty, are examples of bad apples.
"We are committed to protecting the community and doing what we need to with those involved in criminal behavior regardless of who they are and where they work," said Noblitt.
Huffman will be in court on Monday for advisement.

Down six, Reds rally as Phillips drives in five
Down six, Reds rally as Phillips drives in five
Don't write off the Reds, ever.
A thrilling 7-6 win over the D-backs came after scoring seven unanswered runs over the sixth and seventh innings, aided mostly by five RBIs from Phillips and the go-ahead RBI single by Todd Frazier in the seventh. As Arizona pummeled starter Mike Leake for a 6-0 lead in the top of the sixth, a loud cascade of boos came from the 21,620 fans at Great American Ball Park.
"It started off ugly, but the ending of the game was beautiful," Phillips said. "I'm glad we won that game because I know a majority of you all was going into panic mode, knowing we should be winning games and we don't have our best hitter in the lineup. I love the fans out there, period, but I feel all the booing out there was unnecessary. We're in first place. We're playing good baseball.
"I know we didn't do our job early in the game. It's not like we did it on purpose. I feel like if you're going to boo somebody, wait until the end of the game is over. You never know when guys will come up in key situations."
Even before Phillips' statement, the Reds already had themselves a huge statement win and a big boost of confidence. It was their biggest come-from-behind win since battling back from six runs down against the Nationals on May 21, 2007.
The win was magnified because the loss would have been even more crippling. Instead of gaining the four-game series split like it did, Cincinnati was poised to lose three of four to a sub-.500 Arizona team in its first series without the services of the injured Joey Votto. It also kept the Reds a half-game ahead of the idle second-place Pirates in the National League Central.
"They let you know that you can come back," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It shows us what we can do and what we have to do with the personnel we have without Joey."
Following a 46-minute rain delay at the start, D-backs lefty Joe Saunders was leading, 2-0, in the third inning and dominating. Saunders did not allow his first Reds hit until there were two outs in the fifth, when Devin Mesoraco lifted a soft single into left field.
Aaron Hill hit a two-out solo homer to left field off of Leake in the fifth, and Arizona blew the game open in a three-run sixth. Justin Upton and Chris Young started the rally with back-to-back doubles for one run, followed by Henry Blanco's first homer of the season, a two-run shot.
"We kind of gave them something in the sixth," Baker said. "I was upset there for a while because we were throwing guys ... nothing but fastballs inside."
The Reds finally perked to life offensively in the bottom of the sixth as Drew Stubbs and Wilson Valdez began with back-to-back singles. On a 1-1 pitch, Phillips drove one inside the left-field foul pole for a three-run home run that made it a three-run game.
It proved to be only the beginning of the comeback. Meanwhile, Alfredo Simon had another strong relief outing with 1 1/3 scoreless innings for his second win in his last three appearances. Simon has a 1.00 ERA over his last 21 games.
The four-run seventh helped push the Reds into the lead. Against reliever Bryan Shaw, pinch-hitter Xavier Paul and Stubbs drew four-pitch walks to create sparks. In a key play, Valdez reached when his grounder skipped under first baseman Paul Goldschmidt's glove and down the right-field line to score Paul. It was ruled an error on Goldschmidt.
"It's a play I've got to make and I wasn't able to make it," Goldschmidt said. "Looking back on it, I probably tried to rush it and in the back of my head tried to turn a double play when I really just need to field that ball and get one out."
After fouling off a 2-2 pitch from Shaw, Phillips tied the game with a two-run double lined to center field, which gave him his five RBIs. Two batters later with two outs, Frazier bested sidearm righty Brad Ziegler with a lined RBI single to center that scored Phillips with the go-ahead run.
"That was pretty fun," Frazier said. "Especially in the beginning there, we were a little dead. We couldn't really put anything together. Brandon was the spark plug and got us going. We know we can hit. Do we want Joey in there? Of course. At the same time, we have to play without him. We understand that. We have to put big innings together. When we have runners on, we have to do something with it. We did today."
Logan Ondrusek notched two outs in the eighth and Sean Marshall finished the inning despite giving up back-to-back singles. Aroldis Chapman had a clean ninth, with the last two batters striking out, for his 15th save.
As Goldschmidt swung and missed to end it, this time fans roared with approval.
"That win right there, it was a great win," Phillips said. "It makes us feel good to shut a lot of people up. We can just build off that win. It's time for us to start attacking teams earlier instead of waiting until the last minute. The way we won the game just shows you that the game is never over, regardless of the fact. You just have to keep on going."

Dear Lucy,
I am a new ESL teacher for French high school-age students (3-6 years of English). I am finding that the textbooks that the school currently uses are really really bad. Most of it is in French, which I don't understand, including the grammar sections. The books are written by French people and no native English speakers contributed from what I can tell. I don't really know what to do, partly because of my own inexperience, and because there isn't really a method to the book. I was wondering if you could suggest a way to cope with this horrible book (they are published by Nathan if that means anything to you) or if you could recommend a good textbook for French teenagers (2, 1er and Terminale). I am finding that many people here complain that they can't learn a foreign language, but with the textbooks that they are using I can understand why.

If forced to use four words to describe our trip to Villa Park on Saturday they would all begin with the same letter.
From the moment I left my front door early in the morning until arriving home just after midnight it did not stop raining. With the game not really improving the whole day, damp, dull, dreary and disappointing would probably sum it up.
In the usual fashion we did our utmost to make the most of our latest trip, plenty of pre-match refreshment in our usual Villa Park haunt making sure the rain didn't dampen the spirits too much. After two good wins on the bounce we also had every right to go into the ground with confidence.
The game overall ,however, was instantly forgettable, lots and lots of possession but few clear-cut chances. For that reason alone a 0-0 draw was probably the correct outcome. An away point in the bag but having looked in total control for lengthy spells throughout it really was a game where we should have come away with all three.
Laurent enjoyed our best chance in the first period while Gervinho was within a whisker of nicking a winner late on. Chezz made one fingertip save too, putting a long-distance effort onto the bar, emphasising that on another day we could have gone home with nothing.
Overall it makes Wednesday night's tough trip to Goodison Park even more crucial. Last season saw us grind out a victory, defending against heavy pressure after deservedly taking an early lead. With our hosts enjoying a positive start to the season it will no doubt be even tougher up there this time round.
Us travelling Gooners (or 'managers' if you like!) will do our best as always to help the team achieve what we all want from the game.

Ages are large spans of time in which the Loremasters divided the history of Arda. The division was made according to large historical events such as the overthrowing of a Dark Lord.
The Ages
First Age
The First Age saw the ascend of the Elves, Dwarves and Men and their wars against Morgoth. It ended with the War of Wrath and the drowning of Beleriand. Morgoth was captured by the Valar, ending centuries of dominion in Beleriand.[1][2]
Second Age
In the Second Age the Edain prospered in Númenor, but Sauron, a servant of Morgoth also came to dominate the Westlands. The Rings of Power were created as one of such attempts. Sauron's influence also caused the Drowning of Númenor and the Changing of the World. The Age ended with the War of the Last Alliance and the defeat of Sauron.[2][3]
Third Age
The Third Age saw the gradual fading of the Elves and also the rise of Sauron against the Númenorian kingdoms, until he was defeated during the War of the Ring. The Age ended some years later with the departure of the White Ship from Mithlond.[3][2]
Fourth Age
The Fourth Age was a time when the Elves faded while Dwarves, Men and Hobbits prospered and recovered after the fall of Sauron.[2]
Further future?
Tolkien said in a letter written in 1958 that he believed the Ages had quickened and that it was about the end of the Sixth Age/beginning of the Seventh. However he did not explain the criteria of why the Ages should be shortened.[4]

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by max, Dec 3, 2011.
Rumors have it that it is something like $50 mil for 4 years
Thanks............. OUCH !!!!!!!!!
Any chance that those rumors were started by his agent? I love the kid but I don't see that happening. I've read that he's looking for Marcus Thorton money - 8 mil per. Every article that comes out here in Denver has quotes from George Karl talking about how he doesn't want to even think about starting the season without Spellcheck.
He's trying to change his nickname to Paycheck, but the Nuggs aren't cooperating.
I still think that the Pistons would be better served by signing "Spellcheck/Paycheck" than by signing "Bodycheck".
Holy cow, is that whole BRI a big joke
Quite possibly agent's rumors. That's why they are just that - rumors as there isn't any concrete information out there. I would agree that his market price would be along the Thorton's contract lines
Pistons waive center Voskuhl, guards Brian Hamilton, Russell
If Spellcheck gets 8m, I'll honestly feel better about the Stuckey deal. Stuckey is a more capable offensive player, and can be a great defender when he wants to be, and can play point guard.
I summarized the Pistons salary situation with the info I found at hoopshype.com and storytellerscontracts.com. I've seen some sources claim Hamilton will have a cap hit of 5.5M x 2 years but I went with the numbers from storytellerscontracts.com. It's a pretty sad sight up until 14/15.
I like your color palette, Mogilny.
I'm a consultant in operations and pricing, not art and design. It was also pretty brilliant thinking by me to include the source urls in the picture instead of adding them as links in the post. I saved the document as a pdf first but didn't know how to post it so I had to make a screenshot and forgot about the links.
2 more years... 2 more years...
So we basically need to "showcase" Gordon and Villanueva in hopes of dumping trading them for some future cap space that will then be filled up with Monroe and Daye's extensions.
Going to work! Going to suck!
Unless the Pistons acquire a very strong defensive big man, I expect that we'll struggle all season with D - although we have some very nice component parts for what someday could become a very strong defensive team. Knight is eventually going to be a great defensive point guard (excellent length, wing span, super fast, super quick, and he's supposedly very intelligent and an extremely hard worker) - but right now he's a rookie, and he's nowhere near as strong physically as he will be. Stuckey should be one of the better defensive swing guards in the game. Prince is long and so damn smart. Jerebko has incredibly great feet - he can stay in front of anyone - and he's a great athlete and incredibly hard worker. Monroe has great smarts for a big man and has super hands - lots of hands on the ball, steals, etc. Heck, even Daye has great length for the positions he plays. And all of these guys, except Tay, are very strong rebounders for their positions. (Daye is very good on the boards - very willing rebounder). But we've got guys like Gordon and CV who are incredibly awful defenders, and we're extremely young and prone to a lot of mistakes and failures to react quickly and we aren't a seasoned team. So, without the big eraser types, expect us to struggle a lot on D. Also, our D will be adversely affected by our inconsistent offense. Still, the building blocks for a great defensive team in the next few seasons is pretty strong if we can draft a big time big man, and acquire a couple more tough big men to fill out our roster.
It's not like our other guys are that great on defense either. Knight, Daye, and Prince all have length, but are skinny and need shot blockers behind them. Jerebko hustles, but doesn't match up against true PF's or the athletic SF's. Maxiell is too short. yada yada. Guys like Stuckey should be good, but it's not clear that they have the grit on that side of the ball. Ben Wallace is just too old. If there are 2 weak links on defense there may as well be 5 since this is a sport that allows isolations. The '04 team was great in that the only weak links still had length and became strong links with Wallace x 2 behind them.
Has any team ever successfully "showcased" an underachieving/unpopular player and parlayed it into a trade? Every freakin year we have one or multiple players that we are showcasing for upcoming blockbuster trades.
The best way to showcase those guys is to keep them as far as possible from the court when GM:s are watching.
Showcasing... we talk about it a lot, but it never happens. And you may be right that nobody ever really pulls it off. BUT, it should be doable in theory. It's pretty easy to pump up a player's stats if everyone is in cahoots. Think Jerry Stackhouse before we sent him to Washington. That wasn't showcasing, but that is what showcasing would look like.

All right folks, jumping on my third Clone Trooper build-out (film not animated). This kit is by the good guys at Sci-Fire. My first complete clone was a Clonesix suit (built to be Commander Bacara specific) which I sold to whistle8mp recently (July 2008). I miss that suit terribly but due to significant weight loss, it was time to build out a new suit of armor to reflect my new physique.
The intent behind this build-out is to create a final, multi-functional clone, wherein I will be able to simply switch out accouterments between various Commanders (primarily with my custom snow clone, Commander Voltaire) and of course, preserve the ability suit-up as a simple Phase One AOTC Clone Trooper.
To start this build-out, I will be kicking off with the belt, boxes and thermal detonator, as I have those items in possession now. As of this initial post, I have not purchased the armor as of yet, and will very shortly.

This is my first clitoral vibrator/wearable vibrator... It sounds louder than expected...so I'm playing some piano music while I wear and type this review.
At first it was difficult to put on until I found a video on youtube using a similar product.
I definitely feel the vibrations and it makes me squirm for more contact. I'm more for g-spot vibrators (Though I've only used the Flirty G) but this is definitely a toy to tease/prep with before intercourse? I don't recommend it for solo play or for wearing it instead of underwear because the button is furtherst away from you. If you wanted to turn it off you'd have to reach between your legs- good luck pulling that off while you're wearing it out and about.
"Of just scratching/poking near my vaginal opening for no reason. *pushes button*" yes that'll bode well.
And no I'm not testing to see if other people can hear it!
No this should not be used as a swimsuit bottom... are you insane? (unless you're with the your lover, just you two...unless you're with people who are okay with that? It covers a small area!!)
Definitely for couples and not solo.
It actually feels good after a while of wearing it...so...maybe it's okay for solo use.If there's pressure on it so it presses against you...

To hear Miriam Ziv tell it, Israelis are not complacent about the prospect of war spilling over their northern border from Syria. Batteries of the Iron Dome air defence system have been moved north to intercept missiles and citizens have been lining up for new or refreshed gas masks in Tel Aviv
"They are like part of our furniture," said Ms. Ziv, a diminutive bundle of energy who leaves her post as Israel's ambassador to Canada on Sunday, after five years in Ottawa. "Life goes on in Israel. There is no panic. We have had wars and been attacked before."
In an exit interview about the Canada-Israel relationship in her Ottawa office, the news, as always in the Middle East, gets in the way. But she said the big concern for most Israelis is not what is happening in Syria.
Rather, she said, more sleep is lost over…

Could one of Kansas City's oldest and most iconic independent movie theaters be forced to shut down? Join me and our panel of journalists on Kansas City Week in Review, Friday at 7:30 pm as we take a closer look.
The Tivoli Theater in Westport says it's "go digital or go dark." By year's end, movies will no longer be made on 33mm film. That means any theater that has not converted to the new industry mandated digital projection system will be out of business.. With a price tag of over $70,000 per auditorium, that's $210,000 to the Tivoli. They've launched a Kickstarter internet campaign to try and raise the money.
There's lots of other movie theaters with plenty of screens here in Kansas City. Is the Tivoli worth saving?
Election post-mortem
This week the Jackson County Medical Research Tax "flatlined" at the polls. But who could have predicted voters would have rejected the sales tax measure by a whopping 84 percent to 16 percent? In June, backers of the tax said their private polling showed substantial support for the concept. So what happened?
Rallying against hate
A national neo-Nazi rally is planned Saturday on the steps of the Jackson County Courthouse downtown. The event, hosted by the Detroit-based National Socialist Movement, coincides with the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, also called the "Night of Broken Glass" in which the Nazis torched synagogues, vandalized Jewish homes, schools and businesses. Counter-protesters are planning a rival event at Liberty Memorial.
Halting red light cameras
City officials in Kansas City, Mo. suspend enforcement of its 29 red light cameras in the wake of a Missouri appeals court ruling that decrees such programs violate state law. Kansas City opts not to enforce about 5,600 pending red light camera tickets and more than 16,000 warrants for unpaid fines. Since the program started in 2009, the city has netted about $2 million a year in revenue from the cameras.
Another Charter School under fire
Continuing uncertainty over the future of the Kansas City, Missouri school district has only helped boost attendance at the city's charter schools, where 1 in 3 district students now get their education. But that doesn't mean a trouble-free experience.
The state department of education discovered some alarming findings on a recent surprise visit to one of those 21 charter schools, Hope Academy. The first was shocking discrepancies in attendance numbers. Only 27 percent of students were in attendance at the time of the surprise visit. Yet the school was reporting a 99 percent attendance rate.
Academic integrity is also being questioned. State officials say a teacher accepted $700 from a student in exchange for academic credit he hadn't earned.
Skelton Funeral
Former Missouri Congressman Ike Skelton was laid to rest this week. Skelton spent 34 years representing the 4th district of Missouri in the US Congress.

To make a long story short. I have lived in AK for 10 years now and it's always on Sept 1 you have to choose moose or goose.
I had plenty of moose still so I decided to go for waterfowl. Since I haven't done it in years in Colorado. I got the fever again and forgot how bad I really missed waterfowlin'.
So the first week of Sept I was in Creamers Field and realized a week later that all the birds where GONE........They was literally out of the interior.
I went to Delta and the same thing nothing. In fact many farmers in Delta said it was the worst turn out for geese in years.
So next year I want make it down to Anchortown and maybe kenai area.
Is Goose bay and kenai a good area and what dates are good to be there?
