Good Missing Lens Compatibility
The Fuji XT-1 is what a Japanese camera should be: tiny, tight, precise, fast, quiet, easy-to-use and extremely well made out of all metal. It's not another offshored-to-China excuse made out of plastic.
See all those dials? They're real engraved metal. It's trivially easy to set ISO, advance mode, aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation and even the metering mode directly, because each of these functions has its own dedicated, single-purpose dial — just like a real camera!
The XT-1 works fast and easy, as a camera should. You don't need a manual to figure it out; it's all right in front of you. Everything just works as you'd expect it to.
Not only is it a top performer, it weighs almost nothing: 435g (15.3 oz.) wet, about the same as a screw-mount LEICA. Great cameras haven't been this light since the 1950s, whoo hoo!
No wonder they are in such high demand that they usually are not in stock! You have to order yours, and be patient. Never buy at retail; Fuji's boxes are unsealed so it's just not worth taking the chance.
The X-T1 completely eclipses the old LEICA M240 by comparison. This Fuji is faster and cleaner, is at least as well made optically and mechanically, it has more and better external controls and ergonomics, has far superior autofocus, and has a decades-better viewfinder — oh, and the LEICA's EVF electronic finder is offshored to China and made out of plastic!
This Fuji X-system is the first serious system designed from the ground-up as digital camera system with no ties whatsoever to film. For instance, the lenses are designed knowing they'll be working with a digital system, and the system automatically works in concert with these lenses to correct lateral color, distortion, light falloff and even diffraction all automatically. There's no way to shoot these lenses off the camera to see how they work without correction; they are intended to work with the camera as a complete system.
The XT-1 has a huge, live electronic finder with eye control, about 15 years ahead of LEICA's plastic EVF on the M typ 240.
Fuji is actually advancing the state-of-the-art in photography, while other brands are just sitting around selling the same old thing. This Fuji actually has dials and a control system that work together, not like the could-have-been-great dials on the Nikon Df.
The X-T1 focuses super fast, and it's super sharp, and unlike a real SLR or rangefinder camera, the XT-1's closed-loop mirrorless autofocus system ensures that focus is dead-nuts perfect every time, especially at f/1.2.
When you use the Fuji, you'll see how they've actually been thinking about how to rethink what a camera should be and add new features that help us get the shot, as opposed to throwing more junk features in our way to help sell more cameras.
The X-T1 has a very different sensor from other brands, and its images look very different. It has no anti-alias filter, so the results are much sharper than from most other cameras.
The X-T1 just shoots, and the results are always super-sharp and well exposed — better than I get from DSLRs, whose exposure and focus aren't always dead-on as they are with the X-T1.
The X-T1 has a wonderful OLED finder, which also doubles for through-the-finder menu setting and playback.
Far better than the defective fixed diopter of the X-Pro1, the X-T1 has a properly adjustable finder diopter.
The Fuji X-T1 is a real camera, made of metal, not plastic, for real photographers.
The X-T1 has shutter and aperture dials. Nikon and Canon don't any more.
The X-T1 has a real exposure compensation dial. LEICA and Nikon don't any more.
The X-T1 has a real ISO dial. LEICA, Canon and Nikon don't any more.
The X-T1 has real exposure mode switches. Nikon and Canon don't any more. Better yet, the Fuji, just like Contax, changes its exposure mode automatically as you turn the shutter and/or aperture rings to A when you want them to set themselves. Set both to A for Professional (formerly Program) exposure mode. Done.
The X-T1 makes movies too. The X-T1 has a built-in manual focus assist loupe.
It drives me nuts shooting a DSLR or LEICA when I can't see my image pop up instantly in the finder after I've shot it — as I do with my X-T1. Yes, there are plenty of plastic consumer Micro 4/3 cameras with LCD finders, but they are not professional grade. Photographers don't do menus. I need a camera with real dials like the X-T1 and fast metal lenses, not a plastic toy.

Fiat Lux, Pele's, 08 May 2014. (X-T1 at Auto ISO 400, Velvia mode, +2 color saturation, XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 OIS at 55mm, f/22 at 1/60, Perfectly Clear.) Full-resolution © file.
The included tiny hot shoe EF-X8 flash is fantastic. I get better-balanced indoor ambient flash exposures automatically, on the first shot, than with any DSLR or LEICA.
Fantastic flash exposure with included flash.
Fantastic ergonomics optimized for people who know how to shoot; a perfect shooter's camera with all the right knobs in the right places.
Exceptionally sharp and undistorted images, due to no anti-alias filter on the sensor and super-sharp lenses optimized for the Fuji sensors and the camera's DSP.
Extremely well built by any standards. Unlike most of the disposable plastic (but expensive) cameras I review today, the X-T1 is all-metal with engraved markings, and so are its lenses. It's better built than anything today from Nikon or Canon, and the same or better as LEICA — for a fraction of the price.
Claims to be weather sealed.
Adds Wi-Fi.
Extraordinarily good auto white balance in crummy light, much better than DSLRs.
Great highlight rendition; the Auto Dynamic Range feature really helps hold the highlights regardless of the conditions.
Superb color rendition for people, events and portraiture.
The "Velvia" option is hugely improved from earlier attempts. While nothing tops shooting real Velvia or a top-tier brand (Nikon or Canon) DSLR for shooting places and things, this X-T1 is Fuji's best so far.
Missing top
There's no RGB histogram, but the X-T1's fantastic highlight rendition means you don't need to watch for clipping individually in each channel as you do on other cameras. I don't use this on other cameras, but the X-T1's blinking highlight option works just fine instead.
There's usually no Program shift available most ways that you can set the camera, but that's not a problem, since all you need to do is flick the aperture or shutter dial instead.
No threaded cable release socket like the X100S, X-E1 or xPro-1.
No zero detent on the compensation dial.
No GPS.
No second card slot.
There's just a battery icon, no percentage displayed.
Next Model
I predict the next model will fix or add:
Second SD card slot (there's practically a cutout for the second card right now).
Battery percentage indication.
Standard threaded cable release socket.
Self-timer mode added to drive mode dial.
Lens Compatibility top
Fujifilm X-T1. bigger.
The X-T1 uses Fuji's X-mount XF and XC lenses.
The X-T1 can use LEICA and other brands of lenses cave-manually with a Lens Adapter, but don't use anything other than the Fuji XF lenses if you want to get the performance of which this system is capable. Fuji's lenses are optimized to work with the camera's DSP to optimize them.
When used with random lenses on an adapter, the XT1 has manually-set controls to correct distortion, color edge shading and falloff correction. Each corner's color shift set can be set individually for use with lenses like the 12mm Voigtländer, but honestly, you're kidding yourself if you're using a $30 adapter to use a $500 lens on a $1,300 camera.
If you really want to shoot, use the right lenses. Fuji's lenses are extraordinary; LEICA's are no better optically, and tend to be worse because the camera's DSP can't optimize them further.

As covered above, the T-X1 combines great handling with exceptional construction quality, all at a reasonable price, and can produce outstanding images if you're talented, and sometimes even if you're not.
There is no instant manual-focus override; you always have to move a switch to get between the focus modes.
It's easy to move the AF sensor any place in the frame, far better than DSLRs which put all their AF sensors only in the middle of the frame.
Your chosen AF sensor position is saved and recalled with each focus mode. If you use the center sensor in AF-S, the left side sensor in AF-C and the upper right in Manual, each will still be there when you switch back.
AF is extremely accurate, since it works directly from the sensor and compensates for any mechanical or optical errors. See how easy it is to get pinpoint focus:
Katie coloring, 03 May 2014. Fuji X-T1, Fuji 56mm f/1.2, f/1.6 at 1/160 at ISO 100 with EF-X8 flash, Athentech Perfectly Clear. Bigger or Full-resolution.
Crop at 100% from above. If this is 6" (15cm) wide on your screen, the complete print would be 35 x 24" (1 x 0.7m) at this same high magnification. Complete full-resolution image.
AF is super-fast for still shots.
AF is not quite as fast as DSLR, but it's very close. It's more than fast enough for most shots in AF-S (focus and lock) mode.
AFC (continuous) works poorly — unless you make some setting changes in the menus.
Paradoxically as shipped, the X-T1 can't track much of anything in AF-C mode, but once AF-PRE is set to ON, while the finder image is always hunting for focus, actual images are wonderful.
The AF system can't track between sensors as a subject moves around the frame.
I can catch my kids with the X-T1 with no problems:
Ryan and his Razor 360 FlashRider sparking tricycle, 04 May 2014, 12:23 PM. (Fuji X-T1 with included EF-X8 flash, at Auto ISO 200, Standard color mode, +2 color saturation, Fuji 56mm f/1.2, f/16 at 1/180, Perfectly Clear.) bigger.
Manual Focus
There is no instant override.
You usually have to move the switch on the front of the camera to switch between manual and auto focus, unless your lens lets you do this by pushing or pulling the focus ring to swap modes. You never can just grab the ring for instant override as many DSLRs allow.
Manual focus is by-wire, meaning the focus ring isn't connected to the lens. It's connected to a computer which in turn moves the lens sort of in the same direction as you're turning the ring, at least with Fuji's XC and XF lenses.
The OLED EVF finder is fantastic. It's big, bright, sharp, colorful and clear — and it has no visible delay! It's image appears to be in real time, so no need for an optical finder anymore.
Its colors are a little more vivid than you'll actually see on a calibrated monitor. The rear LCD is closer to correct.
Playback doesn't rotate as you turn the camera, but the finder's data rotates as you're shooting verticals.
The data is blue on gray for shutter and aperture, so sometimes it can be less legible.
The focus scale always reads to 10cm even if your lens won't focus that close.
Far better than the defectively designed fixed diopter of the X-Pro1, the X-T1 has a properly adjustable finder diopter control. It tends to wander and need resetting with use.
The X-T1 has marvelous automatic eye-control, so the rear LCD or electronic finder come up automatically depending on how you're holding the camera.
There are two slightly different image magnifications available, NORMAL and FULL. NORMAL is smaller and squeezes the image inside the data along the top and bottom, while FULL lets the image grow a little, but you'll possibly have data covering it on top and bottom. I prefer FULL.
The switchable level and grids are very helpful in getting level shots.
There is nearly no shutter delay; it's the same as a DSLR.
Included EF-X8
Fujifilm X-T1 with included EF-X8 Flash, stowed.
The perfect little EX-F8 flash is included!
It's easy to flip up or down for on or off.
It locks automatically as slid into the shoe.
It's self powered from the camera, no flash batteries required, and recycles quickly.
The flash doesn't work in CH or CL modes.
Flash exposure is perfect!
It's good only to a few feet in daylight, but indoors, wow! The entire programming of the XT1 is optimized to give gorgeous, well-balanced results like the X100S, far better than I get from DSLRs unless I spend a lot of time twiddling. With the X-T1, there's no need to twiddle; I just get marvelous flash results. The images look natural as they should, not forced as fill-flash shots often do with DSLRs.
Katie and the macaroni and cheese Ryan heated for her, 03 May 2014. Fuji X-T1, Fuji 56mm f/1.2, f/1.8 at 1/140 at ISO 200 with EF-X8 flash, Athentech Perfectly Clear. Bigger or Full-resolution.
Hot Shoe or PC Terminal
Rated to 300V.
Image Quality
See the images above? Like the skin tones? The X-T1 is fantastic for skin, and it balances so well with the included flash it's unreal; as good as the world-leading X100S, just with less range due to the slower sync speed of the X-T1.
The images are also sharper than with most DSLRs since the magic Fuji sensor needs no anti-alias filtering.
The shutter is quiet!
It will be silent in a corporate meeting environment and everywhere else. The only place it's too loud is at the symphony. The only camera quieter is an iPhone or the X100S.
CH is fast and quiet.
Trigger pull is as expected, with the usual slight detents. There's some horizontal play in the button; this is no LEICA M3.
As covered at the top, ergonomics are superb. Just pick it up and go! Having real metal dials for everything puts this Fuji a class far above today's slop from Nikon, Canon, LEICA and everyone else.
It takes a second or two to wake up, and you're ready to go.
The OK button is also the MENU button, hooray!
The PLAY button is on the wrong side, requiring a second hand.
The self-timer is hidden until you use the Q button. It inexplicably was left off the advance mode dial.
The rear quad controller is unmarked because you can program each of those four buttons to do what you want!
You also can program two other FN buttons to do what you want, for a total of six programmable buttons.
I wish the Movie button was reprogrammable. I never use movies and would like to use the Movie button for something else instead.
The Advance mode has its own dial, but it's marked in the finder only in some modes and only in microscopic letters.
There's no detent at zero on the compensation dial; you have to stop and look at the display to reset to zero.
It has a superb solid metal grip built in. The grip feels swell in my hands. This tiny camera always feels stable.
The flat, flush focus assist and Q buttons are hard to find by feel; the X-T1s will improve these.
It tends to reset picture controls by itself sometimes. I have no idea why.
The lens release button is hidden near the bottom of the lens on the grip side. This makes it harder to find instinctively, and also means that it's less likely some miscreant will steal your lens when you're distracted.
The status LED is invisible on the right side of the camera away from the finder; you won't see it if your eye is on the finder.
The shutter-speed knob locks at A; you have to press its center button to unlock it.
The X-T1 works even with the card and battery door open or broken-off.
There's a rear LED whose color tries to tell you things, but it's invisible when the camera is held to your eye. It does light in orange while the shutter is open for long exposures.
The default dial positions are incorrectly colored red. They should be fluorescent green for "go" for setting Auto ISO, Auto aperture and Auto shutter speed.
Metering and Exposure
It's always perfect, far better than DSLRs.
The only way to fool it is shooting white paper filling the frame in indoor light, which comes out gray. No worries; it's trivial to flick the compensation dial.
The finder doesn't let you see how it will overexpose if you've run up to past 1/4,000 in auto exposure, and it has no safety shift. You'll have to watch for the red numbers signifying "out of range" or look at the playback to see what's happening if you're trying to shoot at f/1.2 in daylight and running out of shutter speeds.
Auto ISO
You can set minimum and maximum ISO and the slowest shutter speed.
There is no auto slowest-speed setting.
Auto DR (dynamic range)
Oddly mine never goes beyond DR 200. My other Fujis go to DR 400 whenever they need to; while on the XT1 I need to set DR400 manually if needed.
High ISOs
High ISOs look great. ISO 6,400 may look a little smudged, but the noise is never objectionable.
You can program either of the ISO dial's H1 and H2 positions to any of ISO 12,800, ISO 25,600 or ISO 51,200.
Video (Movies)
I dind't play much with it, but here's a very short HD clip as a sample.
It's tempered, uncoated glass.
It tilts, but won't swivel and can't flip over for its own protection.
Playback works well.
Zooming from the data screen just zooms; there is no zoom and no RGB histogram.
Zoom doesn't fill the 4:3 finder, but does fill 3:2 rear LCD.
There's no diagonal scrolling.
It needs a setting to hold Image Review if you keep the shutter held down.
Super fast advance through multiple images.
NORMAL LARGE JPGs (16 MP) are about 3.5 MB.
NORMAL MEDIUM JPGs (8 MP) are about 1.3 MB.
Files are set to 72 DPI.
The calendar works for years 2000-2050.
The dial works backwards for setting clock numerical entries.
The card is formatted improperly as "Untitled." It should be titled FUJI XT1.
Fuji mentions an App for Wi-Fi, but the Apple App store showed me three different Fuji apps. I have no idea which we are supposed to use. The app I tried didn't work although it did seem to connect via Wi-Fi. I didn't play any further; when I need images I need them in a commercial way and piddling on an iPhone doesn't do it for me. I put them on my Mac Pro and work from my 30" monitor if I'm selecting and sending images.
Rotation flags are set accurately.
The automatically-selected Auto ISO reads properly in Media Pro, my favorite sorting tool.
Power and Battery
There's an orange dot on the battery, so it's easy to put it in the right way even in dim light.
I get about 250 shots before I get any partial charge warnings.
The great news is that it's got enough power for me to shoot all day without needing to carry a backup.
There's just a battery icon, no percentage displayed.
The battery icon (meter) is very "loose," meaning that it's simply measuring voltage and not counting the actual charge in and out. This means that if you see a lower indication and turn the camera off for a while, some charge may appear to grow back temporarily. Moral: always carry a charged spare.

Otherwise, the XPro-1 is a dinosaur today. It's way behind the X-T1 in overall speed and the quality of the finder. The X-T1's EVF is so good it eliminates any need or advantage of an optical finder.
The X-Pro also had a big problem with the finder, needing you to buy a fixed diopter just to make it visible.
Forget the old X-Pro. It was Fuji's first X-mount experiment.
Fuji X-T1 versus the Fuji X100S
The Fuji X100S is functionally about the same as the X-T1, but smaller and lighter with a better shutter, a dual optical/electronic finder and fantastic fixed 23mm f/2 ASPH (35mm equiv.) lens.
To be perfectly honest, the only reason to buy the X-T1 is if you need to swap lenses. If you're happy with the one lens of the X100S (I am), there's no need for the X-T1. The X-T1 is for people who want a bigger camera onto which they can attach more lenses.
The leaf shutter of the X100S lets its built-in flash synchronize to about 1/2,000, letting it work great in daylight, while the focal plane shutter of the X-T1 is over ten times slower (1/180), so it has much less fill-flash range.
Fuji X-T1 versus Sony
None of the Sonys impress me long-term. Sure, the A7 and other NEX have their cute features and amateur admirers, but Sony's cameras need work. They do stupid things like not opening the lens wider than f/4 in Program mode, the Sony lenses aren't very good in general, Auto ISO lacks programmability, and a zillion other little things that pros need that keep Sony cameras out of my bag.
By comparison, Fuji's lenses are spectacular and the Fujis can be set up to work the way an experienced photographer needs them to.

Want free live help? Call Fuji at (800) 659-FUJI (3854) and press the options for professional camera help. You'll probably get Steve Pulhamus who is an expert on these cameras.
Hold MENU to lock buttons.
To move a focus point, hold the AF button (probably the bottom button of the quad controller depending on how you program it) and press the four rear directional buttons. Press DISPLAY for the center AF point after pressing the (programmed) AF Select button. Then press OK to use the selected point.
To change the AF spot size, hold the AF button and rotate the rear dial.
Press FOCUS ASSIST to zoom into the selected AF point, either while shooting or on playback. When playing, it's smart enough to swap among different AF points as you swap images!
AF-C Continuous Tracking Autofocus
At default settings, AF-C doesn't work. Strange, but true, you have to reset a menu item to get it to work:
Press MENU OK button > SHOOTING MENU > AUTOFOCUS SETTING > set PRE-AF to ON.
When PRE-AF is ON, the X-T1 is always trying to focus even if you're not touching it, but more importantly, now all my AFC shots actually are in focus.
Weird is that the image in the finder is always hunting in and out of focus, but fear not, the actual images are almost all perfect when you've got PRE-AF set to ON. Next year maybe Fuji will fix the hunting problem, but so what if it hunts before we take the picture; the key is that the AFC images are now in focus when shot.
I'd turn PRE-AF back OFF in AF-S, since it sucks battery power. Sadly the X-T1 isn't smart enough to let us set PRE-AF differently for one mode or the other.
Manual Focus
The focus ring push-pulls on some lenses to select Auto or Manual focus, otherwise, move the lever on the front of the camera.
Forget the manual focus ring. Instead, tap the AF-L button for spot manual focus in manual focus mode. It will focus immediately on the subject, and hold it indefinitely.
Macro Mode
The macro setting often doesn't do anything with many lenses like the XF 56mm f/1.2, but once activated, it can't focus to infinity for normal shots, making this a useless feature.
Try it with your lens, you may or may not get different results with different lenses. Only some lenses will focus more closely in this mode.
Self Timer
Tap the rear Q button and look in the lower left.
The self-timer inexplicably wasn't put on the drive mode dial where it belongs.
Image and File Settings
I prefer to set JPG NORMAL, not HIGH. The images look the same, and take up half the space on my card and computer.
I set Color +2 High, which is still pretty tame.
The VELVIA film simulation is pretty good. Try it for photos of places and things.
I set AUTO ISO 6,400; even at ISO 6,400 if needed, the X-T1 looks fine.
I set Auto Dynamic Range (AUTO DR). Set this way, the X-T1 increases ISO as needed (to ISO 800 even in daylight) to retain highlight detail, all automatically as needed. it's a huge benefit; be sure to turn it on to AUTO.
"Save Data Setup" are where the menu options for how data is stored are hidden, for instance, setting file numbering.
Long Exposures
The EVF or rear LCD will count-down seconds during long exposures, but neither counts-down the time during which it shows "processing..." as a second equally-long dark-frame is recorded for automatic noise reduction.
During Bulb exposures, the display counts-up the actual exposure. Likewise, the camera will sit and "process" a dark frame for an additional time equal to the original exposure, but it won't count that for you.
Panorama mode is on the drive mode dial on the top left.
Funny Color Modes
The ADV (advanced) setting of the top left advance mode dial lets you select various childish image mucking-up options.
Movie shooting starts and stops by hiting the red button next to the shutter button.
To check or reset what an Fn button does, hold it down for a few seconds.
"Custom Settings" just save and recall image settings, not camera settings.
To find or set the PLAY menu, you have to be playing an image when you press MENU.
Custom Settings
These are in the top left when you tap the rear Q button.
THese save and recall only the image settings like color and shadows. THey don't save anytning about how the camera shoots or even the image size. All they do is save what's similar to what kind of film you're shooting.
You can program BASE and C1 - C7 in the menu system, or just change them form the Q screen.
Once programmed, you can recall them by tapping Q, be sure to select the upper left with the four-way buttons, and then turning either dial until your choice (BASE or C1 through C7) is displayed.
Lens adapters
Forget Lens Adapters. Now that Fuji has a complete line of lenses, the Fuji lenses are superior both optically and ergonomically to adapting LEICA or other lenses with adapters.
The Fuji lenses are extraordinary, and they also have full focus and exposure and diaphragm automation, all lost if you waste time adapting LEICA lenses or others to the X-T1 — and no adapted lens will work in concert with the cameras image-processing DSP for optimum results.
You can't get better than Fuji's lenses, and other lenses, even awesome LEICA lenses, won't autofocus or open and close their diaphragms for you as you shoot and focus.
With other lenses, manual focus might not be that much of a problem, but you'll have to open and close the aperture by hand every time you want to focus or shoot or focus. LEICA's 35mm f/1.4 ASPH FLE isn't any better optically than Fuji's 35mm f/1.4, for instance.
Playback and EVF options are hidden in MENU > Screen Set up. Once here, selecting the Focus Check option auto-zooms the finder in manual focus mode.
Built-in Projector
Not really, but hold the camera upside-down, light-up the electronic finder and adjust the eyepeice diopter and you can focus a larger image on a screen as projected out the eyepeice in a very dark room!

The X-T1 is a fraction the price, size and weight of a Canon 5D Mark III or Nikon D800, and it's a very serious camera. Get one, I did! It's so much better than any of my digital LEICAs.
The Fuji X100S is functionally the same thing with a fixed lens. If you're not wanting to schlep a bunch of lenses around, just take your X100S with you instead.
The X-T1 doesn't replace a DSLR for sports and action. Likewise, for my most serious nature and landscape work, I prefer the color palettes of my Nikon and Canon DSLRs. For everything else, the X-T1 is a blast, especially for people pictures.
I use the LEICA strap. The plastic gizmos on the LEICA strap that integrate so well with LEICA cameras may mar the X-T1's finish. I use electrical tape to protect my X-T1, more diligent people might use Fuji's provided strap lugs, tools and protectors with other straps instead.

Are you excited? I don't blame you.
2 Things For Everyone Not Going With The Group
- The group will be meeting before-hand at Flying Pie Pizza - go hang out with old friends, newer students, and faculty/staff.
- If you're going to be at the game...find the group anyway and hang out...maybe you can sneak onto the court after the game with them (but you didn't hear that from me, and don't tell the Blazer's event staff that I said that!)
Here's The Deal
- The Alumni Department is sponsoring an all-Multnomah Blazer Night
- Portland Trailblazers vs. Los Angeles Lakers
- Free-Throws on the court after the game
- Friday, April 10th, 2009
Rose Garden
- Tickets are $25 each
Here's The Catch
All the tickets sold out in record time!
They've been sold out for at least a week. Yeah, I'm bummed too. Whaddya gonna do? They purchased 130 tickets and they all got snapped up. The Alumni Department reserved them over a year ago. We figure that with the waiting list and amount of calls for tickets this past week that there is a demand for at least 175-225 tickets. I'm pretty sure I heard Michelle Peel say that she's going to reserve at least 200 for next year's Alumni-MU night.
Wanna Complain?
OK, you're right, complaining won't help you get to the game. So, if you'd like to encourage her to buy more, please comment below on this blog or email the Alumni Department directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Pics From Last Year
Wear Some Multnomah Gear!
- Wear it if you've got it
- Ask the Alumni Dept. if they have anything you could buy
- Check out Multnomah apparel in the Solid Rock Cafe in the JCA
- Check out Multnomah apparel in the Campus Bookstore
- See if the Athletics Dept. has anything hanging around they want to sell
Now, if you were lucky enough to get tickets, then go represent!

Victoria Beckham not on board for Spice Girls reunion tour?
Listen to Spice Girls on iHeartRadio
The rumored Spice Girls reunion tour may have to go on without Posh. Victoria Beckham's rep is telling "The Sun" that she has no plans to tour with the Spice Girls in 2014.
Rumors of a tour were started by Australian radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O, who claimed on air earlier this week that all five were confirmed for some 2014 dates in the country. The hosts said they had a "very reliable source," but there has been no official announcement.
While Beckham's rep didn't confirm or deny their claim, she made it clear that the star's "future focus concerns her family and fashion business."
The last time all five reunited to perform was at last summer's Olympic closing ceremony in London.

NEW YORK - Once the curtain opened, the public expected to see a Broadway show.
They envisioned the Lakers making dazzling passes, throwing down thunderous dunks and leaving opponents wondering how to stop it all from happening.
Instead, the Lakers' $100million payroll apparently hasn't done enough to ensure the lights still work and everyone memorizes their lines.
Steve Nash, their prized point guard, has sat out for most of the season because of a fractured left leg. Dwight Howard, their prized center, has overshadowed his freakish athleticism and Hollywood charisma with poor free-throw shooting and inconsistent energy stemming from the back surgery he had seven months ago. Pau Gasol, the loyal player the Lakers might or might not trade, has hurt knees because of tendinitis and hurt feelings because of a diminished role. Kobe Bryant, at 34 years old, has discovered the fountain of youth once again. But it appears nothing more than wasted energy.
Add it all up, and the Lakers (9-13) enter tonight's game against the New York Knicks (16-5) in 12th place in the Western Conference, losers of seven of their past 10 games and remaining far from playoff contention should this persist.
"It's extremely extremely frustrating," Bryant said. "We really just have to correct the issues we have."
The Lakers believed they did that by firing coach Mike Brown following a 1-4 start. But the team's problems remain under Mike D'Antoni, who has gone 4-8.
The Lakers rank 29th out of 30 NBA teams in turnovers (16.46 per game) and last in free-throw shooting (67.5 percent). The Lakers' offense might rank seventh overall (101.46 points per game), but they are 24th in fast-break points (10.7). The Lakers' defense remains average at 19th overall (98.77 points), but they exacerbate such weaknesses by allowing a league-worst 16.4 fast-break points per game.
The Lakers have stayed poor against teams above .500 (3-7) and opponents below that mark (6-6).
Bryant has led the league in scoring, averaging 29.2points per game. Yet the Lakers are 1-10 when he scores at least 30 points, a statistic suggesting the Lakers are allowing him to shoulder a heavy burden despite the supposedly strong supporting cast.
"It's going to continue to happen unless we really learn how to play together on both ends of the floor," Howard said. "But we have to stop the bleeding somehow."
How do the Lakers do this?
"I'd go in and solve it if I knew," D'Antoni said.
Bryant has some ideas.
Only 10 days after arguing Gasol "needs to put his big boy pants on" and adjust to a facilitating role outside of the post under D'Antoni's system, Bryant apparently believes those pants are too tight. He agreed with Magic Johnson's sentiment that the Lakers would fare better featuring Gasol inside.
"Gasol is one of the best, if not the best, post players in the game," Bryant said. "When he gets back, we'll definitely use him there."
When that happens remains to be seen.
Gasol has missed the past five games because of knee tendinitis and has been listed as day-to-day, making it unclear whether he will play against New York.
Regardless, Bryant sounded hopeful the Lakers featuring Gasol in the same position that won them two NBA championships will jump-start his play. Gasol has averaged a career-low 12.6 points on 42 percent shooting, and even sat in the entire fourth quarter three weeks ago against Memphis.
Although he has praised Gasol's versatility, D'Antoni has shied away from featuring the Lakers' forward mostly in the paint. D'Antoni has even dismissively described the style as "bully ball." Yet, Bryant said he remains optimistic D'Antoni will show flexibility.
"He's savvy enough and smart enough to read those things and make those adjustments," Bryant said. "I don't get the impression he's a `do-it-my-way' type of coach. He's still trying to figure things out."
D'Antoni has argued the return of Nash and Steve Blake (lower abdominal strain) will mostly solve those issues. But in recent days, D'Antoni has admitted that's just wishful thinking. Bryant agrees.
"With Steve and Pau in the lineup, we still didn't win a damn preseason game," Bryant said, alluding to the Lakers' 0-8 record. "Transition defense problems will still be there. Pau is not the fastest guy in the world. Neither is Steve. We have to figure out a way to solve those two issues."
"I don't know if we're too slow of a team and need to change things up a little bit and play a slower game," Bryant said. "I don't know what the answer is."
The Lakers hired D'Antoni believing he would have those answers.
He didn't appear to have them with the New York Knicks, resigning last season after four seasons that involved the front office clearing cap space, Linsanity, Carmelo Anthony's unhappiness with his role and one playoff appearance through four years.
The Knicks, under Mike Woodson, are the Eastern Conference's best team and no longer take the NBA's lead role as dysfunctional franchise.
Incidentally, both the Lakers and Knicks canceled practice and media availability the day before the game.
"They're having their troubles right now but we know how explosive they can be," Knicks center Tyson Chandler told reporters. "They still have great players on that roster. They can get going at any time."
When will that happen?
"This is not on anybody's time," Howard said. "We want to make sure we're rolling for the playoffs. It's not on the media's time.
"We want to win. We're sick of losing. But this is a process and a test for our team. We're going to stay strong and united and not let anything break us."
So far, that approach has only spawned bad reviews. The Lakers might need an intermission to rewrite the script.

Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6 have a multitude of ways to keep data from coming or going from a system. The traditional way is to use ipfw, although this isn't the default way in 10.5 and above. Instead, you are meant to use the Application Layer Firewall (we'll call it ALF for short), which is what you configure from the Security System Preference pane.
You can enable the firewall simply enough by using the defaults command to augment the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist file, setting the globalstate key to an integer of 1:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf globalstate -int 1
You can also configure the firewall from the command line. Stopping and starting ALF is easy enough, whether the global state has been set to 0 or 1, done using launchd. To stop:
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.alf.useragent.plist
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.alf.agent.plist
To start:
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.alf.agent.plist
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.alf.useragent.plist
These will start and stop the firewall daemon (aptly named firewall) located in the /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall directory. As you can imagine, the settings for ALF can be configured from the command line as well. The socketfilterfw command, in this same directory, is the command that actually allows you to manage ALF. ALF works not by the simple boolean means of allowing or not allowing access to a port but instead by limiting access by specific applications, more along the lines of Mandatory Access Controls (although not yet using the MAC framework).
When an application is allowed to open or accept a network socket, it's known as a trusted application – and ALF keeps a list of all of the trusted applications. You can view trusted applications using socketfilterfw with the -l option; although the output can be difficult to read and so you can constrain it using grep for TRUSTEDAPPS as follows:
./socketfilterfw -l | grep TRUSTEDAPPS
You can also use the command line to add a trusted application using the -t option followed by the path to and then the actual application to be trusted. For example, to add FileMaker to the list of trusted apps you use something similar to the following, pointing to the binary, not the app bundle:
./socketfilterfw -t
"/Applications/FileMaker Pro 9/FileMaker Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMaker Pro"
Note: You can also use the socketfilterfw command to sign applications, verify signatures and enable debugging, using the -s, -v options and -d options respectively.
Finally, there are a number of global preferences for the firewall that can be configured using the /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/com.apple.alf.plist preferences file. You might be looking at the path to this file and thinking that it looks odd and it should really be in /Library/Preferences. And you might be right. But the com.apple.alf.plist file there appears to be a bit of silly misdirection. Changes there simply don't seem to have the desired response. Therefore, stick with the one in the /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall directory. Some keys in this file that might be of interest include globalstate (0 disables the firewall, 1 configs for specific services and 2 is for essential services – as in the GUI), stealthenabled and loggingenabled. All are integers and fairly self explanatory vs. GUI settings from the System Preference pane.

Chapter 8 - Continuing Responsibilities
After its initial organization, a formal business association must continue to meet certain statutory requirements.
Business Entity Reports must be filed to maintain current contact information for the public record. This report does not require financial or business activity of the entity. The filings are due during the anniversary month of the organization's formation or the anniversary month when granted authority to do business in the state of Indiana.
The purpose of the business entity report keeps the entity in good standing within the records of the Secretary of State. Failure to do so may allow a creditor to pierce the corporate veil and subject a shareholder's personal assets, such as bank accounts and other property, to the satisfaction of the debts and liabilities of the corporation.
As a courtesy the Secretary of State sends a reminder notice of the filing obligation. The office sends an email 90 days prior to the due date. If the business has yet to file the report 30 days prior to the due date the office sends a letter through regular USPS to the principal address. INBiz users will receive both an email reminder and an alter of their INBiz dashboard.
A for profit business association must file the report biennially ( every two years) in the anniversary month of formation along with a $50.00 filing fee ($32.00 online). You may access the online filing feature or print the report to mail to the Secretary of State here Business Entity Reports must be filed annually with a $20 filing fee ($22.00 online) for nonprofit entities.
Whenever the Registered Agent, Registered Agent's address, or Principal Office Address changes, a written notification must be given to the Secretary of State. You may file these changes online via INBiz or by paper
Notice of Change of Principal Office Address 50656
Used to change principal office address
Notice of Change of Registered Office or Agent 26276
Used to change registered agent information
Notice of Change of Principal/Officer 50655
Used to change the Principal's or Officer's information
It is important to treat the corporation or formal association as a separate and distinct entity. Note: Treating the corporation like a corporation includes, among other corporate acts, issuing stock certificates which represent share ownership, electing directors and officers, filing the biennial report, keeping annual shareholder meeting minutes and maintaining a corporate bank account and financial records.
Filing Articles of Incorporation (see Chapter 5 and/or 6) marks the official beginning of a formal association. The official end to an entity is effective only upon the filing of Articles of Dissolution. Although an entity may stop doing business, it is still necessary to meet all statutory requirements such as business entity reports, until it is voluntarily dissolved.
Businesses must obtain an Employer Identification Number. See Chapter 7.
If you have a business with employees you have numerous responsibilities. Indiana Department of Workforce Development offers an employer handbook . The agency can be contacted at DWD at (317) 232-7436 or (800) 437-9136 or www.in.gov/dwd/

"Flight" to be relaunched May 27 - 30
The University's Department of Theatre and Dance and Pacific Performance Project/east will present the original play Flight by professors Steven Pearson and Robyn Hunt at 8 p.m. May 27 - 30 at Longstreet Theatre.
Steven Pearson
Robyn Hunt
Regular-price tickets are $10; discounted $7 tickets are available for students and seniors over 60. Tickets are available at the door. Longstreet Theatre is located in downtown Columbia at 1300 Greene Street, at the corner of Greene and Sumter streets.
Pearson conceived, and is directing, the production. Text for the play was written by Hunt. Flight is being produced through their performance company Pacific Performance Project/east with support from the USC Arts Institute and the College of Arts and Sciences. The play had workshop performances on campus last fall.
Pearson describes Flight as a "theatrical poem" which explores the thrill and daring of the first women aviators.
The play's narrative follows two daring French actresses who are preparing to make a history-making flight from Paris to Moscow in 1913, a time when, for women, being an actress was considered improper and being an aviator was considered impossible.
Flight had workshop performances at the Center for Performance Experiment at USC's Hamilton Gymnasium in November. Hunt has since done a full rewrite of the text and says collaboration with the actors during the rehearsal process will likely result in even more alterations.
The major set piece of Flight is Pearson's exhaustively-researched recreation of the Bleriot XI monoplane flown by many of aviation's pioneers, which is "flown" during the production. Pearson constructed the 3/4-scale model with assistance from the actors in the production, giving them a unique hands-on feeling for the courage required to fly one of the fragile wooden and canvas planes.
In addition to Hunt, actors returning to the production include graduates of the USC theatre MFA program Jen Burry and Eric Bultman. Also returning are recent theatre program graduate William Shuler and guest Lee Fitzpatrick.
Another MFA graduate, Brian Hanscom, is serving as assistant director and dramaturg for the production.
Costume design is by Lisa Martin-Stuart, head of the costume design track in the theatre program. Lighting design is by Jeremy Winchester, assistant professor of lighting design at the University of Evansville (IN) and frequent collaborator with Pacific Performance Project/east.

2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The keyless entry system may stop working. Our technicians tell us the key fobs and keyless entry receiver may need to be replaced to correct this fault.
The throttle position sensor (TPS) on the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is notorious for failure which causes:
- Check engine light
- Reduced Power message
- OBD trouble code P2135
This issue is related to the throttle position sensor on the gasoline engine, and can be caused by faulty wiring to the TPS, bad connection at the TPS, or a failed TPS. Note, this does not affect the hybrid drive system.
To correct this issue, the wiring harness, connector, and throttle position sensor must be inspected, tested, and/or replaced. The most common cause is a faulty TPS.
Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every 60,000 miles. Brake fluid that is dirty may cause problems in the brake system.
A Loose or worn gas cap may cause Check Engine Light to illuminate.
The spark plugs should be replaced every 100,000 miles. Our technicians recommend replacing the spark plug wires also at this time.


text: As crazy is Lindsay Lohan is, I bet that she would still be married to Tom Cruise if he had picked her instead of Katie Holmes. Last week I told you about the new book about Scientology written by a Pulitzer Prize winner. Well, in another reveal from the book, apparently Tom cruise's team faked auditions for Mission Impossible and invited Scarlett Johansson, Kate Bosworth, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan and Katie Holmes for a fake part. They all showed up, but Katie Holmes got the role. I wonder why they picked her? What did those matchmakers see in Katie that they also saw in Lindsay Lohan? Young and open to money persuasion? That photo above might be the only time Tom Cruise ever let Katie Holmes show any kind of cleavage.

No equipment is missing from the Bronson Youth League, according to organization representative Mike Hanna. An unidentified audience member from a Bronson Council meeting on April 16 said she saw items with the B.Y.L label at Play it Again Sports, a used sporting goods franchise. Hanna said he went to both the Gainesville and Ocala locations and didn't find anything from the league.
An investigation by The Chiefland Citizen into the Gainesville location provided similar results.

Rebels x It's Showtime Japan (July 18): one more fight added
MOSAB AMRANI vs. CHI BIN LIM ADDED TO REBELS X IT'S SHOWTIME EVENT ON JULY 18
More details have arisen about It's Showtime's venture into Japan. As you may or may not know, It's Showtime announced that they would be going into Japan, starting off with countdown events until It's Showtime Japan debuts next year. This will be the first countdown event and It's Showtime is co-promoting with Stand up JAPAN! to bring REBELS X It's Showtime on July 18. Giorgio Petrosyan vs. HINATA was previously announced for the main event of the show.
Nightmare of Battle is reporting that now Mosab Amrani vs. Chi Bin Lim has been added to the card and will serve as an It's Showtime 65MAX World Title number one contender fight. This fight will also serve as the co-main event. Amrani is coming off of a loss to Houcine Bennoui last month for It's Showtime while Chi Bin Lim has won 4 fights in a row, although he hasn't been that active. The current It's Showtime 65MAX World Champion is Orono Wor Petchpun. Orono hasn't fought in a year, since he last defended his title. It's a good move by It's Showtime, as they've been trying to move towards keeping their champions and divisions active.
More fight card announcements should be on their way, as the event is just under a month and a half away. Be on the lookout here on FansOfK1.com, on Liverkick.com and also on Nightmare of Battle.

Cardiac glycoside overdoseDigoxin overdose; Digitoxin overdose; Lanoxin overdose; Purgoxin overdose; Allocar overdose; Corramedan overdose; Crystodigin overdose
Cardiac glycosides are a class of medications used to treat heart failure and certain irregular heart beats. Cardiac glycoside overdose occurs when someone accidentally or intentionally takes more than the normal or recommended amount of this medication.
Long-term (chronic) poisoning can occur inpatients that take these medications every day. This can occur if patients develop kidney problems or become dehydrated (especially in the hot summer months). This usually occurs in elderly patients.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poisonous Ingredient
Cardiac glycoside is a chemical that has effects on the heart, stomach, intestines, and nervous system. It is the active ingredient in many different heart medicines. It can be poisonous if taken in large amounts.
Where Found
Cardiac glycosides are the main (active) ingredients in certain prescription medicines, including:
- Deslanoside (cedilanin-D)
- Digitoxin (Crystodigin)
- Digoxin (Lanoxicaps, Lanoxin)
Cardiac glycosides also occur naturally in certain plants, including the Lilly-of-the-Valley plant. For information on poisoning from other such plants, see:
Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.
- Eyes, ears, nose, and throat
- Skin
- Allergic reaction (see: Stevens-Johnson syndrome)
- Hives
- Rash
- Gastrointestinal
- Diarrhea
- Loss of appetite*
- Nausea
- Stomach pain
- Vomiting
- Heart and blood
- Irregular heartbeat (or slow)
- Weakness
- Nervous system
- Psychological system
- Apathy (not caring what happens)
* These symptoms are usually only seen with chronic overdose cases.
Home Care
Do not make the person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care provider.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition
- Name of product (as well as the ingredients and strength, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
Poison Control
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
What to Expect at the Emergency Room
The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. You may receive:
- Activated charcoal
- Blood tests to check digitalis, magnesium, and potassium levels
- Breathing support
- Dialysis in severe cases
- Medicine (antidote) to reverse the effects of the overdose
- Methods to correct electrolyte (potassium, magnesium) imbalances
- Tube through the nose into the stomach to empty the stomach (gastric lavage)
Outlook (Prognosis)
The greatest risk of death and bad outcomes is seen in young children and older adults. Older persons are especially likely to suffer from problems of chronic (long-term) cardiac glycoside poisoning.

Workshop is Thursday on Plum Creek timberland
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 3:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 3:40 p.m.
The Plum Creek timber company is holding a community workshop Thursday evening to provide an update on the Envision Alachua process of planning uses for its land and to take ideas from the audience.
Dale Brill, former president of the Florida Chamber of Commerce Foundation, will present Plum Creek's Economic Progress initiative to show how the community can attract good jobs through opportunities identified through the planning process.
The meeting is at the Martin Luther King Jr. Multipurpose Center at 1028 NE 14th St., with sign-in starting at 5:30 p.m. followed by the workshop from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. A light dinner and child care will be provided.
The workshop is part of Phase II of the planning process to bring a sharper focus to ideas for the company's 65,000 acres in Alachua County, in particular 17,000 acres between east Gainesville and Hawthorne.
Nearly 700 people participated in Phase I in a series of meetings that identified the community's priorities for the land, including economic development, conservation, agriculture and environmentally friendly residential development.
Comments from the community were incorporated into the draft vision document and presented to a task force. The document, "Visions, Goals and Planning Principles," is available at Envisionalachua.com.
Following Phase II, Plum Creek plans to develop a 50-year master plan for the land.

Dear Friends,
In the eight years that have passed since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Families of September 11 (FOS11) and its members have worked tirelessly on a variety of issues and projects to raise awareness about the effects of terrorism on people and their families. From advocating for the 9/11 Commission to providing information about programs and services available to people who lost a loved one, FOS11 has remained an independent, nonpartisan resource for people.
In the last few weeks we have seen a maelstrom from the press about the decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other alleged terrorists in New York and statements from various groups both for and against the Attorney General's decision. What is often missing in these arguments is the history behind these decisions—the precedent set in other cases that helps establish "the rule of law," for which our forefathers fought so long ago.
So many times we heard from the media what "The 9/11 families think…" or "said," or "want." But we all know that the people affected by 9/11 are too numerous and diverse to have just one opinion. In 2010 we will test a redesign of our website with this concept in mind. In addition to keeping you up to date on important news related to 9/11, in the new year we'll go one step further and provide information about the various sides of particular issues so that you can decide for yourself how you feel as a member of the 9/11 family.
Whether or not you agree, the perpetrators of 9/11 will now be brought to justice in New York. It is our goal to provide you with accurate, up-to-date information on the proceedings, and the issues that arise, through our website.
We also find it important that if we are to "never forget" about 9/11, we must educate and inform our children not only about the events of 9/11, but about the nature of conflict in general and the historic context of terrorism around the world. We are actively pursuing this goal with the "4 Action Initiative," a collaborative project we launched with the New Jersey Department of Education and Liberty Science Center.
At this writing, volunteer teachers are piloting the lessons in selected New Jersey schools so that feedback from teachers can be used in revisions and the full curriculum can be released in the fall of 2010. Once the lessons are finalized, we will work to bring the curriculum to other states and school districts and prepare parents through workshops and meetings.
So much of this work has been done by people volunteering their time and expertise. But in the future there will be real costs associated with these new projects. It is in this spirit that I ask you to consider making a gift to Families of September 11 this holiday season.
Please visit our website at http://www.familiesofseptember11.org/donate.aspx, where you can make a tax-deductible contribution. Or if you prefer, you may send a check or money order to our offices at 1560 Broadway, Suite 711, New York, NY 10036. Thank you, in advance, for your support.
Yours truly,
Donald W. GoodrichChairman of the BoardMy son, Peter Goodrich, was on United Airlines Flight 175

Dallas Taylor loves to make his bottom boys squirm with pleasure and you can tell he has had some practice. The beautifully masculine Beau Saxon is squirming on his back as Dallas works his oral skills, up and down the shaft and all the way around the nuts to the puckering hole. Beau scoots around to reciprocate in 69, finding out that his ass is in for a total stretching by Dallas' insanely huge too. He sticks his bubble butt up straight up in the air and waits for it. Dallas is right on that hole, priming it with his tongue. Finally he sticks it in and tears the bottom stud's ass up doggie style. Even Beau looks a little worried at first as his ring is stretched out to fit the thick chunk of meat being stuffed inside him from behind; but, of course, he takes it like a pro. Dallas flips him over and fucks him missionary for a while, then puts him back onto his stomach and pounds him into the sheets. The both get up and face each other and within a few strokes Beau is spilling his seed across the bed. Dallas grabs Beau's hand and fills his up with one of the biggest loads ever caught on film! Beau lifts his cupped hand to Dallas' mouth and he laps it up as it spills over the palm and drips on them both.

Joe Walsh gives insight into Eagles summer tour
Listen to Eagles on iHeartRadio
Joe Walsh is shedding a little light on the upcoming Eagles tour. The guitarist tells Billboard.com the group is "building a whole new stage, lights, sound, visuals, set list" for the trek, and they're "going to revisit a lot of old songs and do a whole new tour" based around the band's two-part documentary, "History of the Eagles."
Walsh adds that since he didn't join the group until 1975, there'll be "part of the show that doesn't involve" him. But he says he might "come out and play some James Gang stuff" to show what he was doing "when 'Witchy Woman' came out."
Meanwhile, Walsh reveals that former Eagle Bernie Leadon will be joining the group as a special guest on the tour. Walsh admits he "never really got a chance to play with him," since he replaced Bernie in the group, but they've "been in contact."
He adds that he's "really looking forward to playing with him, finally," and that Bernie is going to "take the show up a notch."
"The History of the Eagles Tour" will begin in Louisville, Kentucky on July 6th.

text: Jan 8 7:30 PM CT By Dan Graziano | ESPNDallas.com Well, it turns out Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wasn't just blowing smoke when he said on the radio last week that things were about to get uncomfortable around Valley Ranch. If you're a Cowboys coach right now, you can't be feeling comfortable at all. Running backs coach Skip Peete was let go Monday, and ESPNDallas.com reports that defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has been fired as well. Ryan seems like an odd move in some ways. I mean, yes, the Cowboys finished 19th in the league in defense in terms of yards allowed and 24th in terms of points allowed, but they did lose five starters and their nickel cornerback to injury along the way, which is the kind of thing that can generally get a coordinator a break. Hard to really judge Ryan's performance considering he didn't really have his team. And it remains to be seen what else happens, as there's some chatter in Dallas about the possibility of Jones taking play-calling responsibilities away from head coach Jason Garrett and hiring an offensive coordinator. But assuming Ryan's dismissal turns out to be the Cowboys' biggest offseason change, it could actually signify continued support for Garrett. The reason I say that is because it's a change that doesn't really strike at Garrett's authority over the offense. It allows Jones to make a big, heads-will-roll splash without undermining the coach in whom he's placed and professed so much long-term faith. Heck, it could even allow Garrett to have more input into the hiring of the new defensive coordinator than he had in the hiring of Ryan two years ago (when, it is believed, he preferred Ray Horton).

Lithium exploration
Information on the lithium activities of SolarWorld AG can be found here
The Company
SolarWorld AG has developed in just a few years from a trading company to a solar company with integrated solar value chain process - from raw materials to the solar wafer, the solar cell, the solar module right up to ready, high-quality solar power plants.
Today, the company profits from the fact that it was early to set up the entire solar value chain: It has modern factories at all production levels to serve the solar market comprehensively. In addition, the company controls the development of solar power technology at all levels under its own roof.
The company employs more than 3,300 people worldwide.
Locations around the world
SolarWorld AG is one of the largest solar companies in the world and has locations in all of the key target markets. This reduces transport distances and allows for cost-optimized production processes. Uniform quality standards and high-tech manufacturing are essential for meeting the challenge of global competition. This strategy forms the basis for expansion into new markets.
SolarWorld is at home in Germany
The production facility in the university town of Freiberg, Germany (Saxony) has a long history with semiconductor technology. All of the production steps starting with silicon through to the final module are based here right next to the group's own research and development enterprise, SolarWorld Innovations. Connections with the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg and with Dresden, which is a major player in the semiconductor industry, create an innovative climate with a large pool of specialists and expertise.
The production site in Arnstadt, Thuringia became part of the SolarWorld group in March 2014. The green heart of Germany is home to one of the most modern production sites for solar cells and solar modules in Europe.
SolarWorld in the USA
SolarWorld has longstanding experience in the U.S. market and has been manufacturing solar modules there already since 1977. In 2014 all sales and production activities were grouped together at the Hillsboro site in Oregon. At this site SolarWorld is operating the United States' first integrated solar production for monocrystalline high-efficiency solar products.

- DATAPOINT: 138 Sydney shootings in 2012
An hour after a man's body was pulled from the surf on the mid-north coast, a man was shot in the head in his family car about six kilometres away, police say.
Officers were called to Woolgoolga beach about 4.30pm on Wednesday after a body of a 57-year-old man was found on the edge of the water.
The body was taken to Coffs Harbour Hospital, where a post-mortem will be conducted.
An hour later, police were called to Darkum Road, Mullaway, after reports of a shooting.
Police said they found a 32-year-old man injured, with gunshot wounds to the right side of his head.
He was taken to Coffs Harbour Hospital for treatment.
The ABC reported the injured man and his family began fighting with another man on Woolgoolga beach, after the body was found near the water.
The family was followed by the man to their home at Mullaway, where he took out a handgun and shot at their car, hitting the father in the head, the report said.
Grafton police duty officer, Murray Gillett, told the ABC said they were searching for the shooter, who drove away in a white ute.
"Both vehicles have stopped side by side [where] further arguments took place," he said.
"We have strong evidence to say that a firearm was produced and at least one shot from the gun has struck the gentleman driver in the side of the head."
The ABC reported that police said the men knew each other, but did not know the drowning victim.
Police said they know the identity of the gunman, the report said.
Several residents on Darkum Road did not want to talk about what happened when contacted by Fairfax Media.
In a statement, NSW Police said they were investigating reports that the man had followed the family home, and believed the shooting was related to a "personal relationship".
The drowning is being treated as non-suspicious, police said.
There were 138 shootings in Sydney in 2012.

Just a Thought -- What's On the New Book Cart?
One of the perks of being a librarian is seeing all the new books come in before they go out to the shelves. In the past, we've occasionally picked some new, yet-to-be-shelved titles to feature here and let our readers in on the fun. We haven't done a post like that in too long, so here are some picks from our newest new book cart!
Boudinot, Ryan. Blueprints of the Afterlife
Blueprints of the Afterlife is a tour de force--part George Saunders, part Philip K. Dick--delivering bracing intelligence about who we are, why we're here, and what Ted Williams has to look forward to when he's defrosted. (From the back cover.)
Levine, Sara. Treasure Island!!!
When a college graduate with a history of hapless jobs (ice cream scooper; gift wrapper; laziest ever part-time clerk at The Pet Library) reads Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island, she is dumbstruck by the timid design of her own life...our heroine embarks on a domestic adventure more frightening than anything she'd planned. (From the inside flap.)

Castor, Helen. She-Wolves: the women who ruled England before Elizabeth
Between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries three [more] exceptional women -- Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, and Margaret of Anjou -- discovered how much was possible if presumptions of male rule were not confronted so explicitly -- and just how quickly they might be vilified as "she-wolves" for their pains. The stories of these women, told here in vivid detail, expose the paradox that female heirs to the Tudor throne had no choice but to negotiate. (From the inside flap)

When approached for career advice, Dan Shipley, FAIA, often gives future architects an unexpected suggestion. He tells them to work for a builder or subcontractor—anything that will gain them some hands-on construction experience. "The real world isn't about paper," says the Dallas-based architect, whose quirky, modern projects regularly bring home local and state design awards. "It's about materials, grease, dirt, and all that kind of stuff."
Shipley himself worked for a framing company back in 1976, during a self-enforced hiatus from architecture school at the University of Texas at Austin. "I didn't know the slightest thing about building, but somehow had the sense that I wanted to know practical things," he says. After a year or so framing houses, he moved on to a job as a draftsman for a small East Texas architecture firm. "That formed the whole backbone of my career," he explains. "I learned so much about how to put buildings together, really." He then went back to school and finished his degree, returning to the firm afterward for another year. A five-year stint with a Dallas firm, Thomas & Booziotis Architects (now Booziotis & Co. Architects), exposed him to additional projects and project types.
Eventually Shipley went out on his own, intent on doing commercial work. But the economy of the late 1980s didn't help, and he ended up taking on a few residential design/build projects just to keep going. One, a small addition to a 1920s Prairie-style house, led to an epiphany. "It was the first project where I really figured out how to design something," he recalls. "I had gotten a taste of this joy of designing and building things. I found out how much I loved this way of thinking." However, business proved so slow that he moved on to a position at a large firm, HKS Architects, for a couple of years—an experience that helped him hone his design and management abilities.
Then Shipley got what he calls his "second start": an opportunity to independently design the conversion of an old masonry firehouse into a nonprofit arts center. The project enabled him to re-establish his own firm, this time for good. He still talks fondly about the job, which he also built. "With the builder hat, we could make adjustments on the spot," he says. "That was fantastic."
budget conscious
Naturally, Shipley faced a tight budget on that first nonprofit project. But he made it stretch, a skill he's been perfecting ever since. Other architects and design observers marvel at his gift for making the most out of limited resources. "He's able to infuse an amazing spirit and intensity into projects," says Dallas architect Max Levy, FAIA.
Part of this aspect of Shipley's work comes from his personality—he's naturally frugal, gravitates toward the humble and the unpretentious, and likes the challenge of sticking to a budget. And his construction background helps tremendously. Sometimes he builds his own projects, and sometimes he works with a general contractor. Either way, he's out on the jobsite, deploying his intimate knowledge of the building process to invent unexpected uses for ordinary materials. For example, at a 1,490-square-foot house in the Urban Reserve development in Dallas (see page 68), he transformed industrial metal grating and off-the shelf metal railings into an elegant exterior entry ramp. Without it, he explains, the sense of arrival would feel too abrupt, given the lack of space for an interior foyer. Instead, the graceful, inexpensive entry sequence makes the house seem larger inside.
That particular job had a relatively modest budget, but Shipley's projects can dip much lower on the budgetary food chain. They also can climb significantly higher, when his clients have the means. What doesn't change from project to project is his commitment to not wasting money or resources. This quality has endeared him to many clients, no matter what their budget. "I've recommended him quite a few times and people always report back happy," says Diane Cheatham, the developer of Urban Reserve. "I tell him, 'You've got to start bragging about how much your clients like you.'" Notes two-time client Tom Perryman, "Dan is incredibly meticulous. Everything matters to him."
Shipley believes a good architect should be able to work with the materials at hand—in the spirit of the TV character MacGyver, whom he admires along with more typical figures such as Carlo Scarpa and O'Neil Ford. "I kind of have this attitude of wanting to do as much as I can with whatever's available," he says, matter-of-factly. He likes to experiment with materials, and has been known to use items such as decking boards and perforated metal as exterior cladding. "Almost any material can be used and detailed in pretty sophisticated ways," he observes. Corrugated metal is a personal favorite of Shipley's. "It's a thin material given strength from the stresses put into it," he says. "What a beautiful idea. It's one of the best materials there is."
He also feels architecture should be democratic—that the smallest, most mundane addition or outbuilding deserves as much attention as a whole house or a major renovation. "I don't like the idea of the architect being above it all," Shipley explains. "Some of the projects we do are very modest and never get a whole lot of attention, but I know they were just as good as the ones that did. The point is that you solved a problem in an economic and beautiful way." He turns down few projects, even in times of plenty.
