C'mon Hollywood #207
... Bradley Cooper as Green Lantern: make it happen!
by Sturdy
Okay, I should come clean right away and make it clear that I don�t know dick about the Green Lantern. I was going to read 20 years worth of comics as research for this article, but I didn�t want to tap into my already sad 401k, nor did I want to read that many comics that I may or may not enjoy. I think I have the basics. I know there�s a ring and it�s really important and I think there�s some importance to the color yellow, although I�m not sure the details on that. But that doesn�t really matter. If they�re going to make a Green Lantern movie, then all of the same rules apply that apply to every comic book movie. You need a director that knows the subject matter, a producer that cares about the project and an actor that can pull off the alter ego of the hero. And that�s where Bradley Cooper comes in.
I�ll stick to what I know, and I know Bradley Cooper. Okay, that�s not true. I don�t actually know the dude, but I know I�ve really liked everything he�s done so far. So why do I have this faith in Bradley Cooper? It�s not like he�s ever carried a movie or anything. I guess I have faith in him because he�s made every movie he�s been in better. Every time I see him, I always think that I would have liked to have seen more of him. He�s only had bit roles in films like YES, MAN, WEDDING CRASHERS, HE�S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU, but I thought he did great with what he had and I think he�s ready for the challenge of being a superhero.
He�s a cool dude.
Stepping into a superhero role is a good opportunity for him at this point and the Green Lantern isn�t as risky as say Batman or Spider-man. It�s a superhero film, so there�s going to be pressure, but if it fails, no one is going to blame him for ruining their childhood. I think he has a good chance of wowing people like RDJ did with Iron Man. The superhero role needs someone with charm and charisma and someone that can actually convey a range of emotions. I think Cooper has a good presence and can pull it off. And it doesn�t really have to be the Green Lantern. Green Arrow, Aquaman, etc., any superhero role will do.
Great on Alias
The Street was one of my favorite shows and it only lasted a dozen episodes (check out how many cool people were in that). But I remember Cooper being in a few of them and he was great in that and Alias. It�s always cool when one of your favorite minor TV actors is on the brink of making it big. That�s right where Cooper is right now. He can see superstardom right in front of him, which is why his next project has to be a good one. I think Bradley Cooper as Green Lantern is a good fit and an easy choice for everyone involved.

Microsoft Technology Mustang From West Coast Customs
March 24, 2012 in News. Permalink.
Link – "This is a 2012 Mustang with a 1967 Mustang Fastback replica body slapped on it and outfitted with all kinds of Microsoft technology. Want to change the horn to sound like Windows booting up? You can do that (I think). The car features a heads-up display for the driver and one for the passenger with an integrated XBox and internet connectivity so your copilot can play video games while you drive. There's also a touch-screen dashboard so you can switch between different dash skins like a modern one, a replica of a 1967 Mustang's, or just a bunch of nudie pics like I'd opt for."

As soon as Fall arrives I get this urge to make soup every day. There is something so cozy about a pot of soup, full of vegetables, simmering on the stove. Lentils are packed with fibre and protein, making this a perfect vegetarian dish to add to your repertoire of quick meals. Here is my take on lentil soup that I adapted from Alton Brown's recipe.
- 1 1/2 cups green lentils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3/4 cup peeled carrots, diced
- 3/4 cup celery, diced
- 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 litres of vegetable or chicken stock
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Rinse and soak the lentils in water, at least 3 hours or overnight if possible
- In a large heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, carrots and celery, and cook for about 3 minutes or until fragrant and translucent, stirring. Add the tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the spices, lentils and stock, and simmer for approximately 45 minutes, until the lentils are soft. Do not over cook this soup as the lentils will disintegrate! Add salt and pepper to your taste.
- Enjoy!

Being a sexy gaming editor has its limitations. Oh, sure, you can get a table at La Scala anytime you want and the gaming journalism groupies throw themselves at you and give you money and cook you fancy dinners and stuff, but at what cost? We can't go out in public without getting mobbed. Heck, Dave Z. can't even go out in public without someone asking him to reinact his Britney Spears music video. David Smith can't find a bar with a pinball machine in it no matter how hard he looks, and when he does find one, he has to deal with mobs of girls trying to get in his pants. And, our beautifully bald EIC, Doug Perry has to constantly fend of fans of both sexes that want to rub his head and steal his vidoegames. It's not an easy life.
But thanks to Snowball shopping, the editors can get their hands on copies of Robert Jordan's most recent "novel" or Mel Gibson's latest anti-Anglo epic. We can even get the new (insert cool group) album and see if the rest of their stuff is as good as their new hit single, (name of overplayed popular song by aforementioned cool group). How, you ask? Through Snowball shopping. We've partnered with GoTo to bring the IGN editors the lowest prices on all the latest crap. And as a slight oversight in the contract, we can offer you total access to all of the great deals that we get.
So all this on the level, right? Certainly, it is. It's really just a merchant aggregator that searches lots of online retailers and lets you compare all of the prices. Just type in what you're looking for and you'll get a list of places where you can buy the item. You pick the lowest one (or the highest one, we don't care) and get on with your life. And we all know how important that is to you.

Ne jamais sortir sans le GR ... je suis d'accord avec Marcel Sfez ! Je l'ai toujours sur moi, il est le prolongement de ma pensée... Rapide et très efficace, Précis avec des fichiers extra pour la post production, je fais 90% de mes photos avec ce boitier, la netteté est impressionnante et le bokeh est doux et agréable, les possibilités de réglages sont énormes. J'espère un jour que Ricoh sorte le même boitier avec un équivalent 50mm, ce jour là, je laisserais mon reflex au placard ! et je n'aurais plus que deux boîtiers extra ;-) Regardez sur ma page ce qu'il a dans le ventre ... https://www.flickr.com/photos/bricelambertpict/
Long time i searched a camera that it small enough to carry with me where ever i go. i tryed out a couple of compact cameras. but coming from dslr and slr shooting, i was not really happy with them. something was always missing. now the GR is my diary. i love the in camera editing and to get the shots out of the camera without having to post-process them. last time i love to shoot the camera on iso 3200-25600. it was such i nice look. not so "digital" clear. more like a grain. it really performs well till 12800 without color noise. if you like to see some snapshots (nearly all are straight out of cam) have a look on my Ricoh GR album. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariobrecher/sets/72157639117225325/with/11605375584/
I always have the Ricoh GR camera with me and I carry it in my jacket's pocket. The camera is small, light and does not take much space. I know that if I see something interesting, I will be immediately ready to snap pictures. The camera has a fixed 28 mm lens and I choose the right distance by moving my body and getting closer to my subjet. I can easily access the different programs and in a matter of seconds I shoot the pictures I am interested in. The Ricoh GR is well designed and I am very happy with the high resolution files that I get from such a tiny photographic tool. I can be close and intimate with people while shooting pictures. The Ricoh GR helps me to be discreet. It is a fantastic non intrusive camera and lets you discover places and meet people you cannot even imagine.
The Ricoh GR does a very good job! The combination of a very sharp prime lens with an APS-C sized sensor results in an extremely good image quality for a compact camera. The automatic white balance and exposure metering are in my Canon cameras noticeably better, but that can resolve the next firmware update.
Yes, in terms of image quality the new GR is a step up from it's predecessor, the GR-D IV. But it has been noticed by all reviewers, the autofocus is quite disappointing in lower light settings, in this regards the GR-D IV is faster and more reliable. I hope this can be improved to some extent with a firmware update. Another request for the next firmware update: option for Auto-Switch-Off the screen after 10 seconds to save battery, camera to remain in "stand-by" mode, ready to shoot. This already was an option in the GR-D IV, which I always used.
Wonderful little camera with great image and build quality. Unobstrusive and harmless but a killer for other cameras.
The first impact is the lightness, the small size and the quick startup, all that being not at the expense of a solid build. Always in my pocket, the Snap shoot function is my favorite. I love the total customization of the controls, in order to suit your style. I often work with small apertures, but also at F2.8 full aperture I appreciate its excellent image quality, thanks to the outstanding level of the lens and the sensor as well. The 28mm allows you, or perhaps forces you, to stay closer to your subjects. I think over 35mm is not street photography, it's gun shooting. While shooting at the Fashion Week, I did not even think of having a photographer in front of me. As Moriyama the master once said, a compact camera does not threatens the subject, it's harmless and goes unnoticed. And if the master says that...
The Ricoh GR is surprising in many ways. Being fair and impartial is key with looking at new cameras, I have used many of the top flight compact camera and the Ricoh GR is up with the very best of them. Small light, sharp, quick to use, fun to use yet serious power. Personal I have always loved the colour of the former Pentax, now Ricoh cameras. The menu systems make sense and are quick to use. The glass elements are just razor sharp and optically near perfect. For such a small light weight, pocket ready camera, battery life is amazing, build quality is amazing too. I guess the best way to talk about this camera is to say, go to your local camera shop and hold it in your hand. That is the only way to understand why I like this camera so much.
Growing up on a diet of DSLRs with their rugged bodies, creative control, powerful lenses and über megapixel counts, I'll admit to not having been interested in owning a digital compact. So I was keen try out the Ricoh GR; with its fixed frame lens and generous mega-pixel count boasting a spec close to some prosumer DSLRs. I'm converted. First I love the fully manual option. It gives me all the freedom I need to control a scene combined with the fact that the GR also supports RaW, means I have full control over capture and image development. These are all things that compacts typically lack which has steered me away in the past. The rear LCD is crisp beyond belief, rendering detail from the lens exquisitely. Having a viewfinder for horseshoe is a nice touch. This suffers from some edge softness but overall this add-on makes framing landscapes easy for those used to composing instinctively with TTL cameras. Handling in the field is a dream. The Ricoh GR is slim enough to go in the pocket. It's lightweight but with a sense of robustness. Being more used to heavy duty DLSRs this gives a welcome sense of confidence and a nice 'feel' in the hands despite its slim line body. Its locking mode is a great ergonomic feature, making it easier to handle the camera with confidence and ensuring less accidental mode changes. The aperture and shutter speed flick-switches are quick and easy to use, rather than being hidden in cumbersome menu options. This is great as it makes the camera responsive in rapidly changing conditions. Back in the digital darkroom, I was really impressed with the RAWs this camera churns out. Low noise, good colour space and an impressive level of detail. Perhaps, most refreshing is the fixed focal lens. An odd choice for a compact audience perhaps, but that added camera craft of framing with your feet only adds to the GR's appeal for me. Like I said, I'm converted. The RICOH GR is now a permanent fixture in the kitbag and has become my default camera when choosing scenes and undertaking field research.
I am a DSLR shooter by nature, because I like to have good IQ and manual control over my camera. But since any camera with an interchangeable lens is always too big to put it into your pocket, I was often leaving the DSLR at home - which lead to me missing a lot of nice shots. That's why I bought the Ricoh GR, and I have to say I am really loving it. It has brilliant IQ and most of all, it is not trying to sell itself with flashy menues and blinky images - the controls are simple and direkt. A camera for photographers. All that in a pocketable package. I take it with me wherever I go.
I tested the camera during my Italian trip. The first thing that I can say is that all the fears about eve for this camera are disappeared when I realized the camera, in spite of new APS-C sensor, did not upset the design and compactness that now is only slightly longer than the GRD IV: a compromise really tolerable if we think that we earn a 16.2 million pixel sensor in a APS-C format. However the camera has been redesigned in some things, and in my opinion improved: from Pentax now owned by Ricoh, there's a TAv (Aperture and Time priority) option where you can set the shutter speed and aperture while the camera selects the sensitivity. Ricoh is always an intuitive camera thought for photographers. Despite I come from my experience with GRD IV there was a physiological first phase of learning of the camera, then I went back to my photography as always. Would I buy this camera? Of course, yes! Ricoh GR is a real upgrade of Ricoh GRD IV and the best option for the street photographer compared to its direct competitors. For the Ricoh owners is a confirmation: a camera for photographers, not thinking to the marketing special effects. Ricoh takes advantage of some chromosomes from Pentax generating a real compact camera with a big sensor.
The GR combines a portable wide-angle lens with an APS-C sensor with massive capabilities. It sports a fantastic definition, and thanks to its 16 Mp you can crop without losing quality, thus providing for the fixed 28mm optics. By shooting Raw, it generates a DNG file with a wide dynamic range, which makes possible a perfect recovery of the highlights and shadows. I find it is as good as a SLR. I wanted to test the tiny GR in the most different situations, and it has always behaved very well. Thanks to its high-speed AF and high-ISO capability, I was able to take pictures even in low light, without compromising the quality of the final result. The greatest satisfaction came when I connected the GR to an external flash, thus expanding the possibilities of its use, as you can see from the photos. By lighting up the scene to your liking, you can appreciate the high pixel density featured by the excellent image sensor of the GR. The GR is ready for use in less than one second, and thanks to the extensive customization of the external buttons you are always ready to shoot in any situation. As far as I am concerned, it is a camera you always have to carry with you... you ought not to leave home without it.
I've just done a comparison field test for ePHOTOzine between the GR and the Nikon Coolpix A and I thought you'd be interested to know that the GR was a clear winner.
When Ricoh designed the first GR1 film camera, they set out to make a camera that "brings a smile to one's face, just by holding it". Not only have they accomplished this but they have been constantly improving and evolving the subsequent GR film and GRD digital cameras. With the new Ricoh GR you get a camera that will not only bring a smile to your face but will also inspire you to go out and take pictures. It accomplishes all this while staying out of your way thanks to the improved and highly customisable controls. The controls are all where you expect them to be and if not; chances are you can customise them to suit you. For everything Ricoh improved, they have also inexplicably taken away the Auto-ISO option in Manual mode and the ability to confirm menu options by half pressing the shutter button. This wouldn't of course matter too much if the camera didn't take good pictures or was too slow to capture the decisive moment, but here the GR also excels. Thanks to the GR 28mm f2.8 lens and the 16MP APS sensor without anti-alias filter, you get very sharp and really detailed photos with a dynamic range and a nice tonality. The camera is also fast enough at powering on, focusing and writing to the card that you will never miss a moment. Where it really struggles is focusing at low light, and here you will miss the moment, unless you use the Snap Focus mode or have a very stationary subject. The display refresh could also be better given how snappy the camera performs otherwise. A huge bonus of the GR compared to similar cameras is the available 21mm adapter; this adds a bit of bulk to the camera but gives you the ability to shoot at 21mm and f2.8 without any perceivable loss of image quality. The adapter works very well and extends the abilities of the GR quite a lot. Unfortunately Ricoh has taken away the ability for the camera to automatically detect the adapter so you have to remember to set it manually in the menu if you want the EXIF information to be updated. Overall the GR is the most refined Ricoh camera to date and the best GR camera you can get, thanks to the fantastic handling, great image quality and speedy operation. There are some small problems but most can easily be fixed with a firmware update and given Ricoh's track record of updating the firmware of the GRD cameras, this will most likely happen sooner rather than later.
The first thing I noticed about the RICOH GR when I held it was its size. Before getting my hands on it, I heard it was a full sensor camera, so when they say 'compact' they truly mean 'compact and light'! The GR has a nice feel to it when you hold it. Its grip is extremely comfortable and the texture of its outer skin is great. I have passed the camera to friends to hold and shoot with and the response has been huge grins and plenty of 'wow' comments! The camera and its functions are truly amazing, and although it has so many multi functions, one can set the camera to auto, frame up and shoot with spot on exposure and colour reproduction, capturing the moment without fuss. At your leisure you can have fun exploring all the controls of the camera, from exposure control to special effects to HD Video. The GR's varied functions make it possible to handle all exposures including the most challenging. And for the enthusiast that does not want to engage in the technical side of creating images, you can simply 'point and shoot' in full Auto mode, allowing you to capture everything with confidence. Resolution and image quality is huge for such a small camera. The 16 megapixel sensor with the 28mm prime lens work perfectly together, with the added feature of converting the lens into 35mm focal length (probably my favourite length for 'street reportage photography'). There is a full choice on the output of image quality; from smaller jpegs, large jpegs, to my personal choice of Raw, which I shoot on to give me maximum control in post-production. This is one fun, 'keep in your pocket at all times' camera. And because of its size, it is perfectly suited to be in your hand most of the time, where it is always ready for shooting street scenes/people. In my eyes, the Ricoh GR offers it all.
I will not devote my review to technical specification of GR that is easily available on many experts sites and probably read already by many of you for couple of times. First impression when I took GR to my hands was comparable to that when you try on new, very comfortable shoes, just your size and favorite color, already in that store you know that you will wear that shoes forever. After first week of using GR I got used to it as Sancho Panza and Don Quixote got used to each other:) I have it with me always. The quality that it represents makes that it often replaces my expensive DSLR with heavy lens. GR is quick, sharp and almost invisible on the street. Just black camera outside... but a BEAST inside.
First impressions are very positive as we open the package, finding even a real, paper instruction manual. This in itself is increasingly rare, but very useful. The GR camera is refreshingly understated, but clearly extremely well made, solid but not overly heavy or bulky. The only omission is a proper charger. Charging in camera does not lie well with my usual workflow. Normally I would have several batteries, rotated in use, and this works much better when they can be charged out of camera. I think at this price level a charger should be included, indeed much lower priced cameras from stable-mate Pentax all have chargers supplied. The controls on a compact camera can be a problem. They can be small, fiddly, perhaps easily changed by accident. Not so with the GR. The mode dial has a firm locking button, so no finding we are in Tv mode when we thought we were in Av mode. Excellent. The dials are light but not too light, so with a bit of practice operation becomes instinctive and efficient. The wide adapter lens is a bit more cumbersome than I would have liked. A tube has to be attached to the camera, the adapter screwed into that and the lens hood provided seems rather flimsy. The worst part is that the menu needs delving into to set up the use of the wide angle lens. Swapping to and fro as needed becomes too time consuming and isn't really practical. The GR on its own works superbly well, the added accessories seem a bit of an afterthought. We will also search in vain for any form of shake reduction. How spoiled we are that suddenly we have to worry again about camera shake. However, it is a 28mm-equivalent lens, so maybe SR is not so essential. There is also no zoom, unusual for most compact cameras, so the question is does that limit us in the images we shoot? In the event though, the real bonus here is the full APS-C sized sensor and the promise of DSLR quality. If that can be fulfilled, then most if not all of the questions will fade away. It has been a Holy Grail of compact cameras for decades. The idea of a pocketable high quality camera has always been an attractive one. Almost everything has failed to cut the mustard. So at last, here is the GR. Images indistinguishable from my Pentax K-5. No doubt, no buts or maybes. The GR sensor also has no anti-aliasing filter, so the images have that characteristic crispness right from the start. Handling is superb. The camera is pocketable. The results are right up to the best DSLR quality. I can even forgive the rather oddly designed wide angle lens by this point. The 28mm lens has not proved a limitation for street, documentary and architectural shots, so it suits my photography, and it suits the purposes to which I want to put a pocketable camera. In fact, the camera is so unobtrusive onlookers don't even register that we are shooting pictures. With the wide angle lens we can even stretch things a little further when shooting interiors. In conclusion, the GR works, it works well and it delivers the quality it promises. It has earned a permanent place in my jacket pocket.
As an avid user of Ricoh's renowned GRD compact camera range I had mixed feelings when I heard the company had released a large sensor version of the camera, the Ricoh GR. The recent trend for putting large sensors into compacts is something of red herring in my opinion. A small sensor offers greater depth of field, virtually guaranteeing that the image will be in sharp focus right from the foreground to the background — exactly what I need for travel and urban photography. That said, a larger sensor in theory promises better overall image quality with more detail, wider dynamic range and improved low light performance. So when I was given the opportunity to test the new Ricoh GR I was very keen to find out just how good image quality was and if anything else was compromised as a result of the changes. For a start the camera body is only a fraction larger than the GRD, so it remains a take-anywhere, pocketable compact camera. And the legendary handling remains – snap focus, customisable pre-sets and ISO jog dial to name a few features. But there's just so much more on offer now. Low light (high ISO) performance has improved to such an extent that it opens up a whole new way of doing photography. As well as the familiar aperture priority and shutter priority modes there's new mode on the top dial called TAv – which is shutter and aperture priority. Using this mode with the GR you can easily adjust aperture with the wheel (using your middle finger) and shutterspeed with the jog dial (using your thumb) – while the camera takes care of exposure by automatically selecting the right ISO when you focus (using your index finger). You needn't worry about the ISO getting too high, because frankly results will be great whatever. This offers total control at your fingertips and is especially useful for the custom pre-sets – I have a 'night mode' which uses TAv with an aperture of f5.6 and shutter speed of 1/60 (with ISO taken care of). Overall, image quality is very impressive. It reminded me of going from 'old school' TV to HD-TV. I was perfectly happy with normal TV but then you see HD and it just has that instant 'wow' factor. The detail and sharpness in the GR make for very immersive images. The larger sensor of the Ricoh GR also opens up the possibility for more depth of field play – you can achieve that nice out of focus effect for portraits and wildlife work, provided you get close enough to your subject. But as predicted it's a double-edged sword. There were a few photos where I hadn't used a high enough aperture setting and so sharp focus wasn't maintained through the frame. That wouldn't have happened with a small sensor compact. The only other gripe is lack of image stabilisation which, to a tripod-phobe like me is quite important. It's like making a near perfect camera and then slipping at the very final hurdle. In summary though, it's a truly superb camera that once again has changed the way I approach photography (as the GRD did before it).
I bought my first Ricoh camera in Tokyo when I was 18, I wanted to travel light, so I chose the Ricoh GR (film version) on the recommendation of the old man who owned the cameras shop. This camera had never left me until the first decent DSLRs cameras started to be available. When I saw the first articles about the GR, I knew it would be my next camera and I did buy it just few days before I left for my expedition in Iceland. It fits perfectly in the hand, it is light, compact and produce amazingly sharp detailed photos. I really like the custom settings and I like to be able to switch instantly to my own black and white mode. The Ricoh GR is the perfect travel camera, it has performed so well in absolutely all kind of weather and light conditions. The battery life is excellent, which is really important when you can't be next from any powered source for weeks. I cannot say this for anything else, but I love this camera, it is mine and it can bring back exactly what I saw. Comment ...
I have had the pleasure to work with the Ricoh GR a few months. Since first time I got the camera in my hands it has been a good acquaintance. The image quality is extremely good. I am very impressed with the lens that is on par with my professional DSLR lenses. The recordings are crisp from corner to corner and the colors and contrast are perfect. Ricoh GR is well in hand, and to my taste it is neither too small or too large. The menus are easy to work with. I have not found some shortcomings. I can warmly recommend Ricoh GR for those looking for a handy highquality wideangle camera.
I'm really pleased with the camera optical and low light performance. I will be taking photos in the street also, because it is so handy and small, it is barely visible to the common people. The back screen is really great and works perfectly in daylight also. Easy to use system helps me to concentrate on the photographing part. This little camera has all the things I need in a camera. Easy controls and top image quality. Perfect for me.
As a Pentax K-5 user, I have found in The Ricoh GR the perfect complement for my DSLR. It fit in my pocket, remain descreet and provide the user with superb crisp images. The only drawback for my main use is a consequence of the wide lens focal. For insects Macro-photography, the 18mm imply too short subject distance and it is not realy usable.
The GR is a camera which delivers images of excellent quality. I am delighted with its technical performances and with its numerous creative possibilities. Its high sensitivity allow to work in conditions difficult "lights". It is particularly considerable for the outside photos in natural lights especially if the weather is gloomy. We also appreciate the autofocus which reacts very quickly and the standard choice of the focal (28mn, it lends itself well to the reports, to the landscapes, or to the locations before shots. Bravo for the choice of the big sensor 16,2 million pixels we fast realize that the dive is there! It is the discreet camera which we are going to like carrying on is permanently
Ricoh GR is a compact camera which pleasantly surprised me. It offers very interesting features in report, as the snapshot and the function buttons. Its quality of image, thanks to the aps-c sensor with no low-pass filter, also impressed me a lot. Its fast lens allows me to take shots with a narrow depth of field, offering soft bokeh. I take it from now on everywhere with me as a photo notepad.
Using the GR for a month now, it took me back to street photography. It is the perfect tool. I really enjoyed walking in the city with this small and efficient camera. Nobody would noticed I was taking a picture. That's amazing. I naturally choose to use the black and white effect. What was important for me is the speed of shoot. It is almost immediate. You can freeze the moment you really saw. For now on, I always have it in my pocket, like a pad. A very well build pad, that delivers professional quality files...
When I received the Ricoh GR, the first impression was compactness, solidity and ease. Then I started to play with the different menus and discovered that I had in hands a real pro little camera with all settings I could need… For my professional photographic work, I use a Pentax 645D, so I'm used to work with the highest quality files, but I have to admit that the files from the GR are amazing by their quality. Colors, sharpness everything is easily handled in post-production with the in Camera DNGs. Of course I'll continue using the 645D, but from now on, I never leave home or office without the GR. I had many compact cameras before but never did that. As I'm assured that in case of a good photograph opportunity, I have the GR in my pocket… discrete and always ready.
My experience with the Ricoh GR so far was very positive. What I especially like is the ability that you can customize nearly every control element according to your liking. This goes so far that you can even turn off the green light from the power button. I mostly use the "My Settings" with the TAV mode. The TAV mode is like the manual mode with the difference that you have Auto ISO. This is an awesome feature that allows me full control over aperture and shutter speed, while the exposure is automatically measured via Auto ISO. If something happens really quickly I can fully rely on the Auto ISO. The noise performance of the Ricoh GR pleases me so much that I have no problem at all to take photographs at ISO 12800 for example. The noise does feel more like Film-grain to me. I have the display often turned off and use the optical viewfinder (GV-1) instead. I also like the black and white tones of the GR. Unlike other cameras I have used, the Ricoh GR has its own black and white character. With the GR I shoot exclusively in RAW and in black and white. If I ever need a color version of a picture, I can easily develop the RAW file directly from the camera. Since I have the Ricoh GR, I definitely do not go out without it. I am really positive about the GR, so I can also imagine using it for professional purposes like editorial or documentary work. The optical quality and dynamic range can easily compete with the big DSLRs today on the market. If I have to say something negative about this camera, than it is the fact that the more I use it, the more it makes my other cameras less fun to shoot with… I feel very fortunate to be able to contribute to the Ricoh GR Community and thank Ricoh for all the trust in me.
A new GR, slightly bigger than the ones from the GR Digital series, which I loved, but with a much bigger sensor and 16 millions pixel. Just another number. New effects, more to work with in the menu, RAW-development in the camera. Well, sounds good - what is the new GR up to? For a weekend in July I chose a very special place: a former silkworm-plantation in Umbria, one and a half hours north of Rome. Friday noon had some very heavy thunderstorms and everything on the premise was covered with raindrops like a spiderweb. The smell after the rain! I had to go for a walk and simply took my GR with me. But then the GR took me: new situations, new impressions - this camera just could not get enough. I was just able to adjust the ISO-sensitivity to 400 in the manualk modus, because I did not want to deal with blurry images and I even did not use a noise reduction, so I could see what the sensor is up to. And then the photographs tell it all: still no noise reduction, no sharpening - just optimizing the tonalities in lightroom before the RAW-files have been converted into Jpeg-images. The lens: world class - I have always photographed with open aperture, also to see here, what it could deliver. Depth of field - yes! And so much - I love it! The colors, the sharpness, the clarity - evreything is perfect. But much more important than that: the Ricoh GR is there. Discreet, quiet, but attentive. And the GR is a teamplayer, which leads to the question, wo rules who? The camera me or do I rule the GR? It does not matter - sometimes it is nice to let yourself fall as a photographer - the new Ricoh GR will catch me.
I feel the wind through my hair. The light makes this industrial location in Germany look magical. I feel this pleasant calmness and I open up for this brutal beauty, the past, the decay, the present. Instinctively I opt for black & white that makes the structures and textures come alive to me. The Ricoh GR is like a good friend. Trust, loyal, simple and pure. With a fixed 28mm lens some would call it limiting, I adore these limitations though. When I am out, like on this day, I don't want to notice a camera. The sharpness of the images provided by the GR is phenomenal. And the tonality is simply amazing. I love the sketchy look I get from the Ricoh GR Digital 3, but the GR gives me new possibilities. It makes sense to me using the GR. I don't have to think, I can operate the camera single-handedly. The metering and focus is always spot on. I like human presences in my photographs, both in rural areas and on the street. Unforced, not necessarily close, but still personal. My feelings, my stroll photography. On the street in the Netherlands, wandering around, the GR is always ready in my hand. I can quickly switch from spot AF to snap mode whenever I need to. The GR makes me fast. In good light I found the sweet spot at ISO400. A movement by a person, a light reflection, an interesting shadow, a certain form. When it moves me, I get curious how it looks like photographed. This is the territory where I feel comfortable with the Ricoh GR. Wherever the light and shadows go I am there.
Size does not matter and when working with a small compact camera with an interesting technology as it incorporates Ricoh GR (features like a digital SLR), it becomes a perfect companion for documentary projects, travel and everyday use.
As a professional photographer I had not thought to use a compact type camera for the type of photography I do. The use of GR I was struck by the delicate balance between image quality and shutter speed to the street photographer's demand. I think it's a good addition, as everyday camera to my DSLR equipment. It is a camera that you can carry in your pocket and always have it accessible, which is great for times when you do not want to carry weight and can pass something that you can not escape and that the GR have more than enough to ensure the photo .
I have been testing Ricoh GR, mostly in photo expeditions to nature reserves and national parks in northern Sweden. It´s light weight and compact size made it possible to carry it in my leg pocket all the time. I chose to shoot RAW (DNG) all the time. My first impression was that it had a remarkable good close macro focus range at 10 cm. I shoot a lot of flowers and it was really nice to take close-ups without special macro-lenses or bellows. It took a while to get used to moving the focus point so I don´t need to focus in the centre and recompose, but after I while it worked fine. I shot in AV-mode and used the exposure-compensation. This was easy and fast. One thing I noticed was that when you shoot RAW only you can´t zoom in more than 3,4x and this make it impossible to check the focus in playback mode. The solution is to always shoot RAW+JPG and delete all the JPG:s in the computer afterwards. In JPG:s you can zoom in 16x to check if you got the focus right. The wide angle lens makes it necessary to think when to use the camera, how to build the photo and so on. Sometimes you wish you ha a zoom instead. However, the quality of the lens is excellent, even at f 2.8, this had been difficult with a zoom. It´s great to have a APS-C-sensor and a lens with a big aperture. I have shot hand held all the time and in Lapland I shot at ISO 800, f 3.5 and 1/30 at midnight without having blur or noise. The big aperture also made it possible to have a shallow depth-of-field when shooting close ups macros at flowers. I still haven´t learned all there is to know and I am going to try it at astrophotography in the late summer.

Today, the 44th session of the CFS will kick off and hold a week of discussions on international food security and nutrition policies. Accredited as the foremost international policymaking space on the issue, the CFS is key in developing policies that are human rights-based. Yet, it must reinforce its political role in addressing the multiple dimensions of hunger and malnutrition, so it does not become a talk shop for best practices.
Fighting against the separation of nutrition and food systems
There is an increasing trend towards delinking food from productive resources and local markets by small-scale food producers, as well as discouraging locally produced, diversified and healthy diets. This is accompanied by approaches put forward by the private sector, which are confining nutrition to the interaction between nutrients and the human body, the technical and medical domains, thereby minimizing the socio-economic and cultural context in which human beings feed themselves. Malnutrition, for instance, is reduced to "the lack of nutrients" that can only be rectified with external technical interventions. These mostly involve industrialized food supplements, nutrient pills and powders — that not so coincidentally also imply large-scale profit.
Food is not a mere commodity or a "medicine", but the expression of a social process of eating and nourishment within which nutritional well-being not only is the ultimate goal, but is also a prerequisite.
The CFS must keep stepping up nutrition governance by promoting policy convergence and coherence vis-a-vis the right to food and the resources that sustain it. Nutrition policies and programs must be grounded in human rights and address the structural causes of hunger and malnutrition through a holistic and cross-sectoral approach that takes into account their complex and multi-dimensional causes.
Addressing the root causes of famine
With today's unprecedented famines and growing food insecurity and malnutrition, the CFS should be playing a crucial role in the development of strategies and policies to tackle them, and must maintain the political space to give a voice to those most affected. So far, no UN-wide global platform carries out collective and critical analysis of the policy responses to these crises, nor does it effectively address the root causes behind them.
The CFS, in the spirit of its 2009 reform, should assume its political role and ensure an analysis that corresponds with the individual, collective, domestic and extraterritorial dimensions of State commitments, as well as obligations under international treaties, in particular human rights treaties. It should also promote accountability of the different actors engaged in addressing food crises. It is not only about examining policy responses but the economic and political framework behind this.
By doing so, the CFS would carry out its roles of fostering global coordination, convergence, cooperation, coherence and accountability of policies and actions taken in the fields of humanitarian assistance, development, and human rights, as provided in the CFS Framework for Action for Food Security and Nutrition in Protracted Crises.
Political participation and accountability of human rights obligations
We are witnessing how governments across the world are moving towards authoritarian regimes, and oppressing or silencing social movements and communities via physical, social, and economic violence. This is accompanied with the increasing criminalization of people and movements mobilizing to claim their rights with the total impunity of government entities, who prioritize business interests over peoples' sovereignty. The CFS must maintain the space to conduct a political analysis of these worrying trends.
And while this happens, States are decreasing both their political and financial commitment to supporting inclusive spaces, including the CFS. This context tends to open the doors to the private sector, which increasingly justifies its share in UN decision-making by contributing to the funding of policy spaces, leading in turn to conflicts of interest. While States need to increase their commitment to food and nutrition policies as part of people's human rights, the CFS must build robust safeguards to protect itself from undue influence.
Democratic participation of civil society is increasingly shrinking at all levels, while also the space for corporate interests to unduly influence policy environments skyrockets. The legitimacy of the CFS rests on its ability to monitor accountability, and to ensure the voices of those most affected by hunger and malnutrition are at the forefront of policy processes. The CFS has a unique value in bringing different views on how to overcome the challenges preventing the world's population from accessing adequate food and the means for its production. If we do not strengthen the political role of the CFS, and this space of participation, we will continue to move further away from the goals of ending global hunger.

I need help...again.
I have a game I'm developing for the Atari 2600 and there are two things I need to get to work but can't figure out.
Number one:
Gravity physics. I have seen some explanations in the forums but haven't seen any code examples for it.
Number 2:
Changing Sprites. I can get it to change to a different sprite when a direction is pressed but can't get it to revert back to the original when no direction is pressed.
Any help is appreciated.
Attached is a screenshot of the game(it is in early development).

So there have been some challenges using the machine. Every now and then the top thread is gathering underneath the material. After getting frustrated, I reached out to our instructor who happened to be in the store that day and she asked us to bring it in. After working with the machine for a while there, she decided that something needed to be looked at on the machine after having the same issue happen to her. We initially found that the racer was cracked which could have caused the issue, but after buying a new one and replacing it the same this still happened. I was without my machine for 3 weeks – talk about withdrawal. 🙂
When we got the machine back, I started again with the Navajo Quilt Designs. Here are some of the others that have been created:
These designs are very cool. I cannot wait to piece them together and make this. I have 15 more designs to make as there are 20 in this package. Stay tuned to see more designs.

Soul - Poem by Barbara A. McCormick
As we wander from reality,
We can see the motion of a vision set free,
To such unique concept refined,
The soul surrenders deeply
We are all prisoners to the heart and mind
Surging through emotions potent enough to blind
For the moment we capture impulsive insight
As we slip away from pressures confined,
Aware of thoughts colliding, colors day or night
Timeless the conscious who is lost in flight
We acknowledge death as the ruler of every human fate,
Still mental insanity to everyone at one point remains a fight
The strength of the mind has the power to isolate,
In a place where the spirit of moods and emotions initiate
Causing the flow of imagination
While our souls thrive on what we create.

Millions of words have been written since the terrible earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand, this week and while I have been there on the spot to cover the story, there is little point in trying to sum up the extent of it – the consequences, with the death toll rising steadily past the 100 mark, have been too wide-reaching, affecting too many families for me to be able to begin to express the true horror of this natural disaster.
There have been victims and heroes, there have been those who have had narrow escapes and there are those who wait anxiously for news of missing loved ones. What story do I pick to sum it up – the teenagers who sat on a pavement hoping their mother was alive in one of the buildings, only to learn that no-one in there could have survived…the same teenagers who learned that while they were away from home, someone broke in and stole many of their belongings?
There is the British man I spoke to who would have been crushed to death by the tumbling steeple of Christchurch Cathedral if his girlfriend had not called him in to a Tourist Information Bureau seconds before the masonry crashed down. And then there is the stomach-churning story of the doctor….
A friend was remarking at the weekend that it was nice to have a good wind blowing through Sydney after a week of breezeless, high temperatures.

As a parent you feel frustrated that technology is distracting your kids from physical activity, or from reaching their full potential at school, and is harming their developing brains. I know because I've been there.
I'm Mary Ann Skaro, founder of unplugyourfamily.com. I help families become less connected to their digital devices, and more connected with each other.
I used to be that mom: the Ipad was babysitting my kids. Where my kids didn't want to sit through a meal without watching TV or their phone. And worse… I wasn't able to either!
You might be a mom too – struggling to juggle it all. Turning on the TV, or handing your phone feels like an easy out (despite the slight guilt). The practice of unplugging becomes the essential antidote to isolation, disconnect, and a sedentary lifestyle.
It wasn't until I created a media plan, that I started to see a shift in my family. I know I can help you, to create more family time in this digital world.

[Mirrored from http://babelstone.blogspot.com/2005/11/how-many-unicode-characters-are-there.html]
Otto Stolz asked on the Unicode List how many Unicode characters there were, classified as control characters, format characters, graphic characters, private use chacters, noncharacters, surrogate code points, etc. Now I love Unicode facts, figures and trivia, so I can't resist trying to answer this question.
The "Unicode Version History" utility of BabelMap provides precisely the information requested by Otto for all versions of Unicode from 1.0.0 up to the current version (4.1 when I first wrote this post,). This information is tabulated below :
I have now moved the detailed tables and charts of Unicode data to my website at How many Unicode characters are there ? If you don't want to go there, the short answer is 136690 for Unicode 10.0 (released June 2017).

Please join us for the following AOS Seminar Thursday, May 5 at 4:00pm in Spiess Hall 330:
Speaker: Heechun Song, Scripps Institution of Oceanography
Title: An Overview of Shallow-Water Acoustic Variability Experiment (SAVEX15)
Abstract: "The SAVEX15 was conducted in shallow water (~100m deep) in the Northern East China Sea (ECS), ~100km southwest of Jeju Island, South Korea, in May 2015. The goal of SAVEX15 was to obtain acoustic and environmental data appropriate for studying the coupling of oceanography, acoustics, and underwater communications in the ECS. Surprisingly, the underwater sound channel (USC) typical in deep water was discovered in shallow water with the channel axis at ~40m, apparently due to the intrusion of warm and salty Kuroshio Current into the ECS. This talk presents an overview of SAVEX15 including research results to date."

High pressure builds in tonight, keeping skies clear and the air dry and comfortable to kick off the weekend. By morning, temperatures will dip into the upper 40s and low 50s, but with abundant sunshine we will warm fast! Expect a mostly sunny sky Saturday with some high, thin afternoon clouds. Temperatures reach lower to middle 80s with low humidity and a light northwesterly breeze.
A ridge of high pressure aloft continues to build into the East this weekend and surface high pressure will be sliding to our southeast, bringing in a southwesterly wind. All of this will lead to a big warm-up for Sunday and especially Monday. Sunday gets toasty with highs climbing to around 90. We begin dry with some sunshine, but high clouds advance throughout the day from an approaching warm front. Dew points will begin to climb as well and we turn humid by the evening.
Dew points continue to climb Sunday night as a warm front passes through our area. A shower or thunderstorm is possible along this front, but it isn't looking like much for our area. Conditions quickly turn oppressive Monday with highs soaring into the middle and upper 90s in western Mass and much of the Northeast. With dew points nearing 70, our heat index (the way it feels) will near or top 100 degrees! Look for potential heat advisories and air quality alerts to be issued.
A gusty breeze out of the south-southwest, which will keep the beaches cooler on the south shores Monday. Everyone else will bake in the heat and humidity until a cold front arrives from the north. A slow-moving front will move south through Monday night and Tuesday morning, bringing a chance for showers and thunderstorms. Most of Tuesday remains cloudy and unsettled, but also warm and possibly humid. Once the front is to our south, we will turn drier and more comfortable midweek, but toasty temps continue.

A Statement From TRINITAS'
Owner and Lead Designer Kristifer Dillehay:
"All my life I have been drawing, tinkering.and building things, As a child I would often get into trouble for disassembling my toys to make different toys, or to make them better, or faster, or just different.
I have always seen ways to solve problems creatively, and in ways that just seems to make sense. I have used my ability to draw as a tool to help myself speed through a number of options quickly, and also to demonstrate my thinking to clients, craftsmen, or artisans.
I have also used my computer skills as a draftsman, to aid me in making what seems like a fantasy concept, into a very real option. These skills combined with a love of building makes almost any idea a very real possibility."
Since 1990, TRINITAS' Kristifer Dillehay has earned numerous awards. Some of these include:

Swedish black metal act NAZGHOR have teamed up with Metal Shock Finland to premiere, for Finnish territory, the streaming of their entire new album "Infernal Aphorism", coming out October 13th, via Non Serviam Records!
The band Comments:
"Enter the eternal reign of darkness and witness a mass of melodies where worshippers of the dark arts increase in numbers and strength. A perfect combination of power and pride as the lyrics tell the stories of the ones who are free and unchained. Nazghor's sixth opus is a compilation of beautiful melodies, mixed with dark vocals and dynamical instruments. Every song is its own master and the whole album is infallible to its own concept. Nazghor guarantees one hour of pleasure and provides that beloved Swedish sound. Let all witness this force, henceforth known as 'Infernal Aphorism."
Stream "Infernal Aphorism" at this location:
NAZGHOR is a 5-piece, Black Metal Band, exploring a variety of styles within the genres of Black, thrash and Death Metal, and delivering a refined Blend of Dark Melodies, Crushing Riffs, Technical Percussion, Dramatic Orchestrations, and Poetic Story-telling.
"Infernal Aphorism", the highly anticipated 6th album from NAZGHOR can be regarded as the strongest offering from the Swedish nefarious act so far, because of its blasting, explosive and heavy compositions. The opus is a perfect mix of fast and slower songs which contains beautiful melodies and combines elements of piano, orchestrated choirs and speeches. The band did not refrain itself from displaying musical technicality in performance and composition without sacrificing melodic and dynamic proficiency.
"Nazghor is the order below the government of Tartaros, it is the legion of Satan, soldiers of the throne of darkness"
1. Opus Profanus
2. Malignant Possession
3. Decretion At Eschaton

Astrobotic Engineers Radiation-Tolerant Flight Computing
Astrobotic's first mission will land near a pit in the Moon's Lacus Mortis region and demonstrate unprecedented landing precision. Astrobotic's landing technology registers high-quality, real-time camera images taken during the lander's descent with terrain maps derived from orbital imagery to achieve safe landing at a precise destination. This capability enables Astrobotic's Griffin lander to fly directly over the pit, capturing close-up views of the floor and walls that cannot be seen from orbit or the ground, and then to land within 100m of the pit. Successful performance of the landing software relies on Griffin's onboard flight computing. Beyond Earth's magnetic fields, the lunar surface may experience solar particle events and galactic cosmic rays (GCR). Solar particle events are relatively rare, so the Griffin lander will encounter primarily GCR from the radiation background of space. The GCR spectrum consists mostly of protons (85%) and alpha particles (helium nuclei) (14%) at extremely high energies. These high-energy particles pose a risk to onboard flight electronics. All electronic components are susceptible to damage or malfunctions caused by ionizing radiation (i.e., particle radiation and high-energy electromagnetic radiation). While the effects of ionizing radiation are usually transient, they can cause soft errors (i.e., "bit flips", where the binary state of a bit is changed by physical deposition of a particle's charge onto the component). These bit flips can lead to destruction of the device by triggering other damage mechanisms. For this reason, space hardware has traditionally been radiation hardened, meaning that it has been made resistant to the damaging effects of ionizing radiation. Unfortunately, radiation-hardened components perform at speeds that are a fraction of their terrestrial counterparts. For Astrobotic's landing technology to perform the task of guiding Griffin to a precise location and avoiding hazards to land safely, Griffin's onboard computing must run at near-terrestrial speed. The most common method for radiation mitigation for space applications is simple material shielding around the sensitive electronics. Shielding is an effective technique to minimize the total radiation dose that the electronics will encounter during the mission. For example, 2.5 millimeters of aluminum shielding will attenuate large amounts of proton radiation and reduce the total radiation dose well below the damaging limit for most commercial-grade electronics. As an additional step to mitigate faults caused by radiation, error-correcting computer code can be implemented to check for faulty data. Without this backup check, computers might send the wrong output or cause system malfunctions. Even electronics on Earth can experience radiation effects, and many commercial grade chips use error-correcting code. Astrobotic was recently selected for the Google Lunar XPRIZE Milestone Prizes for Landing, Mobility, and Imaging. One Landing milestone is to develop a flight computer that can perform in the radiation environment of space. The computer will use terrestrial grade components for computing-intensive functions and slower radiation-hardened components to mitigate radiation-induced errors. Proper shielding reduces these errors to a minimum and ensures that the Griffin will land successfully.

Four Amazing and Affordable Martin Guitars
Martin is the most legendary name in acoustic guitars, with over 180 years of history behind the brand. Did you know there is a great selection available of Martin Guitars at affordable prices that sound great? Any guitarist would be absolutely thrilled to receive any of these wonderful guitars:
Martin DRS1
A full size "dreadnaught" shaped guitar. Solid sapele wood, including the top, imparts a rich, balanced, warm tone, with beautiful vintage looks. An amazing value, includes a hardshell case and built-in pickup for plugging in!
Martin DRS2
Similar to the DRS1, except the DRS2 has a solid spruce top. This provides a brighter sound, and a little more volume, but you can't go wrong with etiher one! Has a more traditional acoustic guitar appearance due to the light-coloured spruce top.
LXM Little Martin
The terrific small-sized guitar is a great choice for many types of players – students, people who want a small guitar to travel with, or an experienced guitarist who just wants a fun break from a full-sized guitar. Even though it's small, there are no compromises on quality and the sound and playability are wonderful!
Martin 000RS1
This is a full-size guitar, but with a smaller 000-size body. Still a great guitar for anyone, but provides a more comfortable feel and more even, balanced tone.

'Clam-type' foldable Samsung smartphones expected to begin 'small production' in Q4
It's hard enough to know who to trust when dealing with seemingly unsubstantiated gossip on unreleased smartphones in normal circumstances, but there's clearly nothing "normal" about Samsung's prospectively trailblazing foldable prototypes.
A tale as old as time, the "Galaxy X" commercial debut has been pushed back quarter after quarter and year after year, due to immature technology, various production difficulties and anxiety regarding the actual public interest and eagerness to spend a fortune on early bendy devices.
The thing is now everyone from LG to Apple and even Microsoft has plans to tackle the fledgling flexible phone/tablet market, so Samsung must decide soon if it's willing to take a risk in order to rightfully get dibs.
A private MWC 2017 demo of a mystery advanced pre-release pliable unit may contribute to the decision, with the newest tentative plan reportedly calling for a "small production" start late this year ahead of an H2 2018 "clam-type" mass production blastoff.
Alas, Samsung still needs to "overcome a number of technical issues", including the manufacturing and reliability of a key component. A PI (polyimide)-based plastic cover, to be specific, which isn't expected to pass safety tests until the first half of next year, at best. Bottom line, it feels safe to assume another postponement is just around the corner. Your move there, LG.

Hell is other people. This was one of my mother's favorite sayings. Some days other people are fun and some days they're hell.
If you find yourself mumbling, why can't everyone see things the way I do, or I'm right and everyone else is stupid, it's time to take a bigger view. It takes two to tango, and you need to to take responsibility for your role in your relationships.
Have a Champion Mindset:
People have different personalities, strengths, levels of knowledge and experience. That's the joy and the hassle. You're going to encounter people who are different from you and who see the world differently. When you're at the top of your professional game, when you're a champion – capable, strong, and confident – you'll figure out how to make these differences work for you. If you have strengths in ABC and your coworker has strengths in DEF, you'll set personal feelings aside and figure out how to partner.
When you aren't at the champion level, you might feel insecure about your capabilities or the security of your position. As a result, you view these differences as either a threat or a spotlight shining down on what you perceive to be your weaknesses.
Champions focus on their strengths and on what works. "Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way." (John Wooden)
Who's Right, Who's Wrong – Who Cares:
Sometimes style differences can cause conflicts. It doesn't mean someone is better or more right – just different. Here are a couple of examples:
- You're a big picture person and your boss is focused on the details – OK, they're a micro-manager. Their constant questioning and looking over your shoulder has gotten insulting. Don't fall into the trap of thinking their need to micro-manage has anything to do with your capabilities. It could be a result of their background; e.g., they came from a highly tactical, operational job into a more strategic function. But it could also be an indication of their own insecurities; i.e., they're new to their job or new to being at their level. There are multiple approaches you can take depending on the circumstances. Discuss what they need from you. Perhaps they need predictability, or frequent updates. You might need to negotiate some of these relationship terms. Of course if they do have concerns about your capabilities, don't wait for your performance review to find that out. Try to get those things to come to surface ASAP so you can work on them.
- You may be in a job that's the wrong situation for your strengths. It doesn't mean you're not capable, you're just in the wrong job. You may be a decisive, get-it-done activator type. Your approach is all about speed, and your motto is: fix and fall forward. There are organizations that value your comfort with risk, ability to make smart decisions quickly and learn on the go. However, if you're working for an organization where the nature of the business requires that things be heavily researched, analyzed and confirmed before they're rolled out, you'll be frustrated and they'll be frustrated with you.
If you have an unresolvable style difference with your company or your boss, don't let it undermine your confidence. It doesn't mean you're not capable, and it doesn't mean there's anything bad about your current situation. It's just not right for you. It's time to find a situation that's a better fit.
If you're embroiled in a personality conflict, step back to see different sides of the situation, acknowledge other styles and points of view and try to let go of your own emotional response. Don't roll over and whimper and don't put up with daily negativity. Life's too short. Find a path through the conflicts or find your way out of the maze.
