'Ere 'allo!
I've have been lusting after a latest Fuji since dip[ping my toes in the Fuji waters with an M1 a while back, but I was waiting in the meantime for the AF to catch up.
I was still going to get Fuji until a day ago, even though TBH I was not that impressed with the OVF.
But then yesterday, when I found whilst idly reviewing fuji files that I'was not as convinced as I once was of the Fuji wonderfulness. I found myself comparing Fuji and canon jpgs side by side, and then RAW files and saw quite clearly that for my purposes Canon was far and away preferred. Hells' bells! I thought to my self I nearly bought another Fuji when really what I want is a small Canon
So I have researched and come to the con elusion that actually I will, in all likelihood, be going the way of a Canon M6.
OK not as small as Fuji but same size sensor, Canon AF, and everything else I am familiar with
anyone disagree with my choice?

Quick Reference
German-born architect and scholar. He settled in Paris (1811), and studied under Percier from whom he acquired his 'liberal' Classicism and eclectic philosophy. He worked with Bélanger on the creation of the iron-and-glass dome of the Halle au Blé, Paris (1808–13), during which he met Joseph Lecointe (1783–1858), which led to the two men being appointed Architects for all ceremonial occasions after Bélanger's death in 1818. They quickly became fashionable architects, designing many interiors for wealthy patrons. Hittorff travelled in England, Germany, and Italy (1820–4) during which he became interested in the problem of polychromy in Ancient Greek architecture and, with Ludwig Zanth, published Architecture antique de la Sicile (1827) in which his record of traces of painted decorations on the Greek temples was publicly attacked by scholars in 1830. However, he became one of the leaders of the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts, publicized his ideas, and obtained various important commissions, including alterations to the Place de la Concorde (1832–40) and the Champs-Élysées (1834–40). His first great Parisian building was the Church of St-Vincent-de-Paul, sketched out first by Jean-Baptiste Lepère (1761–1844) in 1824 (the year in which Lepère became Hittorff's father-in-law), but completely redesigned and built by Hittorff (1830–48). It is a particularly beautiful basilica in the Early Christian style, with two rows of superimposed colonnades carrying the timber trusses of the roof, an apsidal chancel, and the whole interior strongly coloured in a manner Hittorff insisted was a modern expression of Greek Antiquity. The exterior has an Ionic portico set against a plain façade flanked by two square towers. The building is not only important for its use of colour, but because its exterior anticipates the Beaux-Arts Classicism of the late C19. Hittorff wished to extend polychromy to the exterior, proposing enamelled panels for the wall of the portico as well as lavish colour elsewhere, but the plans were blocked by Haussmann after he inspected a trial section. Lave emaillée (enamelled fired sheets) was the material Hittorff intended to use (it had been invented in 1827 and was manufactured by Hachette et Cie from 1833 for fire-surrounds, table-tops, and even altar-frontals), but the ideas for the church were not implemented. Nevertheless, St-Vincent-de-Paul was an important landmark in the development of a free eclecticism drawing on many sources that was to be of such significance in C19 French architecture. His most innovative structures, however, were Rotonde des Panoramas (1838–9—destroyed 1857), with its suspended roof, the Cirque National (1839–41), with elegant lattice-trusses (both 1834–40), and the Cirque Napoléon (1851–2—now Cirque d'Hiver) also with lattice-trusses, which established his reputation as an innovative architect.
A renewal of interest in polychromy in the 1850s encouraged Hittorff to bring out his Architecture polychrome chez les Grecs (1851), which was successful, and silenced his enemies. He enjoyed favour under the new regime of Napoleon III (1852–70), designing a series of handsome houses in Paris in the vicinity of the Place de l'Étoile (1852–5), the Mairie of the First Arondissement (1855–61), the Grand Hôtel du Louvre, Place du Théâtre Français (1856–9—with Alfred Armand (1805–88), J. -A. -F. -A. Pellechet (1829–1903), and C. Rohault de Fleury), and, finally, his best-known building, the Gare du Nord (1859–66), where his main contribution appears to have been a 'tidyingup' of what was essentially a design by the Railway Company's engineers. Nevertheless, it is an excellent example of how the new Beaux-Arts Classicism could be used in conjunction with iron-and-glass structures: some of the trusses were designed by Antoine-Rémi Polonceau (1778–1847), and all the castings done in Glasgow.

You like? 9 ways to celebrate T.O.P's birthday in style!
November is a big month for BIGBANG fans — not only does it mark the debut of the band's latest BIGBANG: MADE Tour exclusively on DramaFever, it's also the month when BIGBANG's oldest member and resident hottie, T.O.P, was born. To celebrate the release of this momentous concert experience and the birth of our favorite goofball, we've put together a few ideas for you to create your own T.O.P birthday celebration.
1. Get artsy.
T.O.P's passion for art has likely inspired one or two fangirls and guys to hit their local art museum. If a field trip isn't in your future, bring fine art to you by decorating snacks in a classic style. Our cupcakes are modeled after T.O.P's incredible Mondrian suit — worn when he performs "Doom Dada" during the MADE tour.
2. Try your best imitation.
A quick internet search for "TOP Big Bang Impressions" will get you a ton of amazing videos of T.O.P impersonating his dongsaengs. (See a great T.O.P impression of Seungri at 24:00 in the link above!) I don't think there's a single YG family member he can't imitate, so in honor of his crazy skills — show us your best impression of T.O.P. Whether it's memorizing one of his raps or trying your hand at one of his unique dance moves — or just nailing his signature catch phrase "You like?" — it'll be a great way to pay tribute to the birthday boy.
3. Make it a costume party.
It's no secret T.O.P can wear pretty much anything and make it look incredible. From blue hair to studded face masks, T.O.P treats the world like his runway. We decided to pay tribute to a couple of our favorite looks, wearing our versions of his suit from the "Doom Dada" video and his always on-point airport fashion from the beginning of "We Like 2 Party."
4. Get creative on social media.
The K-pop world rejoiced the day this long-time social media hold-out opened an Instagram account. And it didn't take long before he had millions of followers — waiting for the next time we'd get one of his unique posts. While most of us use our profiles for selfies and cat pictures, T.O.P takes it to a new level. Try finding something unique and beautiful in your everyday life and snap a couple of shots. You never know what you might get. (We recreated a hand collage T.O.P posted not long ago...)
5. Look back at his previous roles.
T.O.P took over the big screen last year in Tazza 2: The Hidden Card. If you can get your hands on a deck of Hwatu cards like those used by T.O.P's card shark character in the film, they make a fun decorative accent. If you're feeling really confident, grab some friends and learn the rules, but it might take some time before you can take on T.O.P.
6. Put on some funky favors.
A ton of the "MADE" tour merchandise featured T.O.P's "Doom Dada" orange Dali-stache. They're easy to make out of construction paper, and with a little tape, they can definitely liven up the party.
7. Make a toast. If you follow T.O.P on Instagram, you probably know he has a taste for fine wine. Even if your budget doesn't cover the good stuff, shell out a few bucks for a nice red and share with your friends. Keep it classy with a mustache straw and pretend you're somewhere exciting, touring with the band.
8. Think of furniture in a new way.
T.O.P's appreciation for art and design is one of the most fascinating things about him. You've likely got a few interesting chairs sitting around your place — why not pull out a sampling and curate your living room? It'll make the space feel fresh and it would make T.O.P-Oppa proud.
9. Check out the Big Bang: MADE Tour exclusively on Dramafever!
We were lucky enough to sit front row at Big Bang's Anaheim show in October — and we can tell you, this concert was unforgettable. Be sure to check out this exclusive special on DramaFever starting November 11! Sign up for a new episode alert HERE!
Happy Birthday, TOP! And all you V.I.P's - be sure to check out T.O.P's new web series Secret Message — the first three episodes will be available exclusively on DramaFever this Saturday, November 7! Check out the teaser below:

All across the state Friday, Kentuckians will stop their routines to observe Veterans Day, thanking those who have served the nation in peace and war.
Area events marking National Veterans Awareness Week, which runs through Tuesday, got under way Wednesday at Richmond's Armed Forces Reserve Center with a reading of the names of the 106 Kentucky service members who have died during operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Gold Star families, those who have lost loved ones in service, were on hand for the ceremony.
On Friday and into next week, Kentuckians will be honoring veterans such as Albert Martin, 87, of Lexington, who drove a truck while serving with the Army in Europe during World War II. He was part of the famed Red Ball Express, the truck convoy system that kept Allied troops supplied as they fought their way from France into Germany in 1944-45.
"Soldiers, food, gas, ammo ... You name it, we hauled it," Martin said. "Patton told us, 'Don't let anything stop you.'"
That was Lt. Gen. George Patton, the tank commander whose fast-moving Third Army relied on the Red Ball's timely deliveries.
Driving for the Red Ball meant long hours pounding over rough roads in summer heat and winter cold. Martin was in truck convoys that were shot up by German planes. He slept on the ground, or in sheds or garages that had survived the shelling. He awoke one morning in Belgium to find himself partially covered with snow.
"I saw some people go out and not come back, so I can't complain," Martin said.
He said he had no definite plans for Veterans Day but he might take in a veterans' dinner or some other event.
Lexington services affected Friday by the Veterans Day holiday:
Government: All state and federal offices closed. City offices are open.
Courts: All courts closed.
U.S. Postal Service: No regular mail delivery, pickup or retail services
Libraries: Closed
Health department: Open
Lextran: Operating on normal schedule
City garbage: Regular schedule

This article edited is included in my True Core Self-Confidence and Happiness Program – This Program is dedicated to instilling all these same concepts plus much more in yourself!
The "Alpha" Male- Behaviors of the Confident Attractive Male
One of the most asked questions I receive is how do I look "Alpha"? There is something I want to say on behalf of "Alpha" in the community, it is a myth, an "Alpha" male in our world is not a dominant male physically. It is a confident male in our day and age. A woman isn't attracted to a physically dominant male, she is attracted to the confident male he represents.
The body language of a confident male is noticeable on both a conscious and especially subconscious level. A woman will always notice a man that has a confident aura about him, it is quite the attractive feature when she runs into someone who has a serious amount self-assurance, self-love, and self-belief. Don't believe me? Look at the asshole who treats women like shit and gets an ass load of tail, it obviously isn't his charm that attracts her. It is his confidence or self-assurance that is so attractive.
Consciously Fake it until you Make it
There have been several studies that shows that body language is two ways. Not only do we stand a certain way because how we feel but how we feel can be changed by our own body language. Now this is very important when it comes to confidence because this means you can't feel confident until you stand confident. Since you may have had years and I do mean years of bad habits when it comes to body language it is important to realize that you are going to have to consciously do this until it is natural. Your current body language makes you feel the way you feel, you feel unconfident in part because of your current body language.
It is important to develop these behaviors as habits. There are 4 levels of competent behavior: Unconscious Incompetence, Conscious Incompetence, Conscious Competence, and finally Unconscious Competence. The first stage is the stage where you were, you didn't know that you needed to change your behaviors. Now you are in Conscious Incompetence meaning you know that you need to change something. At the end of this read you will be Consciously Competent, you will know the behaviors to modify and have to consciously do them. At a certain point you will have the Unconscious competence in your new body language that you have now, they will be habits you won't have to think about, and it is important to get to this point.
I am sorry I went over all this information but it is more important to me to understand the why than the how. I remember more off the why.
On to your New Habits
Chin up – I can't stress enough how important it is to have your chin up. How can you look confident looking at your feet or looking up with your eyes at people(this can be used in the proper situation and just be quite charming). When you meet anyone's but especially a woman's eyes you want your chin to be at least parallel to the ground.
Shoulders – Keep your shoulders wide and scapulars pulled back together. Wider shoulders are a sign of masculinity and we carry a lot of stress in our shoulders. So show relaxed but wide shoulders, don't be afraid to show who you are by your shoulders. Keep your head out of your shoulders.
Take Up Space – Confident and "Alpha" people have a much larger territory. They aren't afraid to have their arms up and moving around. They sit down with their fingers interlaced with their hands behind their head looking not only comfortable but bigger. If you are sitting and the seat next to you is empty don't be scared to extend your arm taking up space.
Wider Stance – It is very important to realize taking up space includes your feet. A wider stance shows you take up more space and in general appears far more confident. A narrower stance shows a timid more submissive person. If you are a tall man it may be a good idea to have a less wide stance, your size is dominant enough you may need to adjust for a more non threatening body language.
Illustrators – Illustrators are a charismatic man's vice, or at least I see them like that. Illustrators are when we act out what we are saying. A good example is acting like you are throwing something when you are talking about it. They show confidence and help you take up space. People more comfortable also tend to use illustrators.
Sitting – Even while sitting you should maintain these behaviors. Your feet should be wide, and in some cases extended. You want to look comfortable.
Good Posture – As mama said "straighten up". Keep your posture straight and up while not up tight, be relaxed. You should be walking around like you are "The Man". Good posture also helps represent youth and health. It is a very attractive feature.
Relax – Be relaxed guys, while you should have good body language you also want to show how comfortable and relaxed you are. Confident people are always confident. It is very obvious who is confident off of comfort level alone.
Movement – I already went over movement in my blog on What are sexy dames attracted to? You should emphasize your masculinity. That means your shoulders and broader movements with your arms. Don't swing everywhere but certainly move your shoulders and arms a bit. Your movements should be sure and relaxed.
Highly Recommended Behaviors
Smiling – I have come across several people spreading the false information of smiles are submissive and bad, many a times I argued diplomatically. BULL SHIT, they are a sign of confidence and comfort, something every attractive male has. A smile is the only attractive universal face, the others include sadness, anger, contempt, disgust, surprise, and fear.
Nonthreatening – Be nonthreatening and have open body language. This means have your arms open (relaxed) NOT crossed (closed). It means the occasional head turn and look down. You need to show you aren't harmful and nonthreatening, the smile helps as well. Threatening people aren't attractive and they are certainly avoided. I hear a lot about physically dominant behaviors to show "Alpha" to me this is a Neanderthal look "Alpha". It is a new era guys and confident behavior is not physically dominant. It is absolutely necessary to show you are comfortable so that when they mirror you they are comfortable.
If you guys question anything let me know and I'll answer it as best I can.
Peace and Love,
Here is my Alpha video, the sound is messed up but the content once again is solid. ENJOY!

It's A Jungle Out There
Representative Tom Tancredo recently made the amazed public declaration that the state of Florida is becoming a Third World nation, and so it is. (Congressmen Tancredo needs to be congratulated on his keen and insighfful grasp of the obvious.)
But Florida has also become something of a wildlife refuge for certain other kinds of illegal immigrants from the Third World--such as the Burmese pythons which have escaped into the wild, started breeding, and which are now challenging the native alligators for swampland habitat and engaging in titanic combats with the American reptiles for mastery of the environment, resembling monster battles from 1950s science fiction movies where Godzilla meets Mothra or whatever.
For some odd reason, a combination of illegal aliens and just plain kooks seem to be intent on importing all kinds of weird non-native animal species into Florida and turning them loose. Those species which have been successfully transplanted so far include the deadly pythons and also South American spider monkeys and now--giant rats.
A recent media article opens: "As the rising sun danced across Florida's coastal waters, government workers in shorts and T-shirts knelt in a grassy island field and plucked wriggling rats from traps laid the night before. These weren't just any rats. They were 3-pound, 35-inch-long African behemoths. They squirmed as the workers, wearing protective gloves, removed green radio collars that had been tracking the rodents' movements. All 18 of the animals were carted away for research."
Huh? Three pounds and almost a yard long? That's one big-ass rat.
The Breitbart article goes on: "Darin Carroll kept a watchful eye on that dawn mission at Florida's Grassy Key Island. Carroll is no ordinary G-man. He's a disease hunter determined to stop the next outbreak. Carroll works for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and for three years he has painstakingly tracked the journey of Gambian rats from their African homeland, through the exotic pet trade, and to U.S. homes. His quest is to prove what many scientists suspect: that African rodents imported as pets caused a monkeypox outbreak in the Midwest in 2003 that sickened dozens of adults and children with a virus related to smallpox. Scientists suspect Gambian rats may play a role. Similar outbreaks have occurred in Africa."
I'm sorry, my mind still hasn't quite wrapped around this. We have yard-long African rats running around spreading diseases in Florida? Somebody brought infected three-pound monster rats into this country as pets and let them go? Is this something off the Science Fiction Channel? Apparently not.
Breitbart continues: "Florida and U.S. officials are trying to raise enough money to kill off the Gambian rats that have proliferated on Grassy Key Island, just a few miles from the coast of one of the country's most populous states." (Somebody should tell the neocons in Washington that the beasties are Iraqi rats and part of a terrorist plot, and then Dick Cheney will have his drunken little sock puppet in the Oval Office shell the island with Cruise missiles to exterminate them.)
Evidently they're not just in Florida either. The article says that "The first time Carroll, 34, came face-to-face with a live Gambian rat was in 2003 when the CDC dispatched him to suburban Chicago during the monkeypox outbreak." (Sure that wasn't just a common Chicago sewer rat?)
Well, why not, after all? If we don't control the diseased human life that comes across our totally open borders, why control the diseased animal life? At least America is consistent in its death wish. And here's a thought: those huge African rats down in Florida can serve as food for the pythons.

49ers' Nedney beats robot in field-goal kicking
SCIENCE Robot gives 49er kicker Joe Nedney no trouble in friendly competition
Man ruled and machine drooled Monday, as Joe Nedney, a placekicker for the San Francisco 49ers, beat Ziggy the battle robot in a field-goal kicking competition at Kezar Stadium.
The lighthearted contest, a stunt to highlight the three-day RoboGames competition that opens Friday at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds, ended when Nedney easily kicked a football 45 yards while his mechanical adversary twice failed to clear the goalposts at that distance.
"It definitely legitimizes my position," said Nedney, a Bay Area native who once played college ball at San Jose State University. "I feel pretty good about myself right now."
Ziggy's human handlers - South Bay engineers Mike Phillips, Mike Hermann, Mohan Gurunathan and Edward Ayrapetian - left the field humbled.
"In practice yesterday we were kicking 60 yards," Phillips said.
Ziggy is a 340-pound tortoise-shaped contraption designed to destroy opposing battle bots by flipping them over with a powerful pneumatic-powered scoop. Its creators, most of whom work for the San Jose engineering firm Nuvation, recently realized the scoop could also hurl a football downfield and, after a few beers and practice kicks, cooked up the contest.
"I'm all about shameless publicity," quipped RoboGames promoter David Calkins, who is opening the paid event to free, school-organized tours on Friday to interest young people in a field that is quickly moving from fiction to reality.
A long history
The notion of powerful automatons goes far back in human cultures and includes concepts like the golem, an animated clay figure from Hebrew tradition.
The word robot itself was coined in 1921 when Czech playwright Karel Capek used "robota" to describe a group of soulless automatons designed to do grunt work that rise up and destroy their creators.
Long a staple of science fiction, robots have slowly percolated into industry, performing repetitive assembly-line tasks with unerring efficiency.
Robots have also been sent into battlefields on bomb disposal missions in Iraq. Unmanned aerial vehicles, piloted by ground-based operators, have been used with deadly if controversial effect in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Military interest in the field partly explains the existence of the Congressional Robotics Caucus, whose 23 Democratic and 10 Republican members recently set aside partisan differences to designate April 10-18 as the first-ever national robotics week.
Finding uses
Private financiers are starting to get into the field, said Dan Kara, editor of RoboticsTrends.com in Massachusetts.
"We've had six or seven different companies out of the Boston area funded by venture capitalists, all with a civilian focus," Kara said.
These include Corindus Vascular, a startup that has raised $9 million to develop surgical systems, he said.
In the Bay Area, Willow Garage, a privately funded research firm in Menlo Park, is using the "open source" method that developed the Linux software for PCs to create a Robot Operating System to control functions such as locomotion and gripping.
"It's an exciting time," said Brian Gerkey of Willow Garage, which is building some 20 research robots and distributing these to academic scientists for them to make - and share - software to increase the machines' capabilities.
Most robots remain awkward and clumsy compared with humans, as evidenced by Ziggy, the reigning champion of the popular battle bot competition at RoboGames.
The three-day event is like a county fair for the 667 amateur robot-builders who will flock to San Mateo to compete for bragging rights in more than 50 separate events, many of them whimsical, such as the drink-mixing competition between bartender bots.
Putting out fires
Some competitions do suggest practical applications. Calkins said contests between firefighting automatons could create alternatives to sprinkler systems that extinguish fires but can cause indiscriminate water damage.
But for the most part, competitors seem intent on learning from experience - as evidenced by Phillips, one of Ziggy's handlers, who answered thus when asked what he expected from Monday's contest:
"This robot is completely out of its league kicking a ball, but it's a lot of fun. ... We found weak spots we didn't know we had kicking a football."
Human vs. machine
Tales of such face-offs, legendary and otherwise, include:
John Henry: The perhaps apocryphal tale of a hammer-wielding railroad worker who battled a steam-powered drilling machine and won the contest, only to die from the effort.
Deep Blue: The IBM chess-playing super computer beat then-world champion Garry Kasparov, left, in a 1997 match that made history.
Finance and poker: IBM researchers said in 2001 that robotic commodities traders made more money than humans in a test. More recently, poker-playing robots have been developed, but it is not clear how they would deal with bluffs.

French prosecutor says mystery shooter's 7 victims all shot in head at close range
PARIS (AP) ' All seven victims of a shooter spreading terror in southwest France were killed with bullets to the head, shot at such close range that the gunfire burned the skin, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
French police spread out across the region by the hundreds, hunting for an expert gunman who may have neo-Nazi ties or grudges against minorities.
The gunman is suspected of carrying out three deadly attacks: killing four people Monday at a Jewish school in Toulouse, three of them young children; shooting dead two French paratroopers and seriously wounding another last Thursday in nearby Montauban; and shooting dead another paratrooper in Toulouse on March 11.
All three attacks were carried out by a man on a powerful motorcycle who was wearing a helmet and carrying a Colt 45, Prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters in Paris. But he said other clues to the killer's identify were scarce.
"We are confronted with an individual extremely determined in his actions, an armed individual who acts always with the same modus operandi," Molins said, "in cold blood ... with premeditated actions."
He added the crimes appear to be premeditated due to the killer's "choices of victims and the choices of his targets" ' the army, the foreign origin of the victims or their religion.
All the victims at the school were duel French-Israeli citizens and the paratroopers were of North African or French Caribbean origin.
Molins noted that the attacks had occurred every four days, but said he could not address security arrangements that might be in place Friday ' the fourth day after the attack on the Jewish school.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has raised the terror alert for the region to scarlet, the highest level on the four-color scale.
Hundreds of extra police will be on duty Wednesday for the funeral of three paratroopers and Sarkozy will speak at that ceremony.
More than 200 specialized investigators, including psychologists and profilers, are on the case and "no clue will be abandoned or neglected," Molins said.
But he said an earlier report by Interior Minister Claude Gueant that the shooter had a camera around his neck and could have been filming the attack was still only a hypothesis.
Earlier in the day, wails and weeping filled the air as the Jewish school honored the victims, including the rabbi who taught there. Several young men pressed their heads against the rear window a hearse in grief as it drove away.

NEW YORK — There's something about Paul Winfield that makes for judicial casting.
He was a radical Al Sharpton-like defense lawyer in television's "L.A. Law."
He was Judge Larren Lyttle in the film "Presumed Innocent."
And for "A Few Good Men," which opens its five-month, national tour at Hartford's Bushnell Memorial Tuesday, he plays a military judge. The Aaron Sorkin melodrama also stars Alyson Reed and Michael O'Keefe and is being staged by its original Broadway director, Don Scardino.

Fraley's Robot Repair
This whimsical store appeared in downtown Pittsburgh on November 18th. The sign on the door says the owners are on vacation, but that just covers the fact that this is an art installation by Toby Atticus Fraley.
The installation is part of the "Pop Up Pittsburgh" project designed to brighten vacant storefronts in downtown Pittsburgh. Along with a warmly lit inviting interior there are also a couple of animatronic robots giving some movement and interest to the installation. It will have a year long run at 210 6th St.
See lots more pictures and read about the fictional repair shop's services at the "business" website. Link -Thanks, Toby!

I've always thought landlords should allow art stuff like this to happen, just to keep their buildings from looking run-down.
i just saw that on friday night. SO cool!!!
One of the best artist in tri-state area, by far. So detailed. It's always fun, makes a lot of people smile. God knows this world needs more of that.... Go Toby
Very cool idea and execution!
Ahh! That's fantastic. I wish more downtrodden urban areas would do something like this to their unused storefronts. Great post!

We've been hyped for "Cosmopolis" ever since it was first announced, and we've been anxiously awaiting the announcement of a release date. The film was recently screened and picked up at Cannes to be released in the United States.
eOne plans to distribute the flick to the United States starting on August 17. To be honest, this doesn't exactly seem like an end of summer movie, but the sooner we get to see "Cosmopolis" the better. The movie will initially open only in Los Angeles and New York, but will expand to other cities soon after.
The trailers and clips released of the movie show a Pattinson that we've never seen before, and seems distinctly David Croenenberg. But the Cannes reviews of the film have been generally positive, which leads us to believe that this project will be well-received even if it doesn't appeal to everyone.
"Cosmopolis" will be released in Canada today and in the UK next week. Another one of Robert Pattinson's non-"Twilight" films hit theaters today. We've been waiting to see "Bel Ami" for ages, so at least we only have to wait two more months for "Cosmopolis."
Are you excited "Cosmopolis" finally has a US release date? Let us know in the comments section below or on Twitter!

Mitsubishi Lancer is a small vehicle that offers remarkable sporting aspects that are popular with consumers of youth groups. The 2019 Mitsubishi Lancer will probably be reintroduced with significant improvements that can include a high-tech offering and relay the individual athletic look we are used to. The new 2019 Mitsubishi Lancer could have some embellishments that could be collected from customers. They are ES, SE, SEL and GT. The development will have a higher price compared to the Economic Lancer, and both could eventually be introduced into market segments around the world.
For 2019, Lancer gets a new entrance finish design with directional operation lamps. The interior continues to improve for 2016 with renewed remodeling and a more elegant finish. Several comfort functions available in advance are currently regular. There is also another SEL Lancer cut with cowhide seats. Apologies, passionate about performance, Ralliart's turbocharged design has been canceled. The exterior type of Mitsubishi is among its finest qualities. Despite its age group, this small car, however, looks sharp with its nose zone down, sporty tail placement. We like them when they are equipped with a rear spoiler that does not tighten, it is much more discreet compared to the wing of young runner embellished in previous Evo's. The foundation types of the 2019 Mitsubishi Lancer is moving on the new 16-inch alloy wheels. 2, while the raised designs get 18-inch alloy wheels. The best series of SEL models has a chrome size line.
The 2019 Mitsubishi Lancer takes advantage of its interior dimensions, offering incredible space in most seating roles. The space for the legs in the free space and in the back is particularly liberal for this school. Anyway, the room in the trunk area is just regular. The format of the painting is surprisingly sporty. Hooded meters, complete and demanding intelligent controls would have a look at home in a small general purpose car. The more elegant textures of the 2019 seats and the deep flash of the cup greatly improve the state of thoughts. While the inside of the look is much better than anyone could have predicted, you cannot say exactly the same thing about how you feel. There are still a lot of tight plastic surfaces, simple and bare. Most challengers possess a relatively refined feeling inside. Without a doubt, even under the best conditions, the interior of the 2019 Mitsubishi Lancer's is dark and outdated. The difficult plastic materials, the insignificant handling as well as the controls that do not telescope are the ones that you will have to handle in the small Mitsubishi vehicle. Among the few wonderful places is the 6.1 inch sensation screen which reveals that it regulates the appearance capabilities as well as the optional route setting. We believe in you as dark because it is the main accessible interior shading, whether you use the standard seats or the available calf. The overlap of the rear seat in a 60/40 pause for the adaptability of the integrated load.
Under the hood of 2019 Mitsubishi Lancer will develop 4-cylinder 2-liter engines of about 150 horsepower, as well as a slightly more powerful number. A number of 2.4-liter cylinders with nearly 170 horsepower. It is expected that the 2019 Mitsubishi Lancer engine will become a turbocharged version that will reach nearly 300 horsepower. Planned fuel use will be 23-25 mpg in the city or even more at 35 miles per gallon on the highway. 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Engine Specs
The 2019 Mitsubishi Lancer has a Manufacturer's Suggested Price (MSRP) of almost $ 18,630 for an ES 2 model with a 5-speed manual transmission. That includes an automated transmission is another $ 1000. At the most important point in the Lancer collection, a SEL design costs only $ 23,000 and will scale an additional 1,000 that have a road structure and also the sunroof / look package.

Keywords : Suspended Graphene , Electrical Characterization, Low Temperature Physics
Graphene as a two-dimensional conducting material has attracted enormous attention due to its relativistic nature and interesting physical properties. Although theoretical studies on graphene are quite successful and revealing many interesting results about Dirac-like condensed matter systems, experimental realizations of these predictions are very challenging. Due to the naturally occurring electron-hole puddles and impurities acquired during the fabrication, graphene devices merely show their true potential, i.e. strongly correlated physics at the Dirac point. In order to achieve an ultra-high quality graphene device with less impurity concentration and higher carrier mobility, graphene sheets are whether suspended or placed on an atomically flat hBN layer, both of which reduce electron-hole puddles and lead ultra-high mobility graphene samples. This study introduces the techniques developed for fabricating ultra-clean, high mobility suspended monolayer graphene devices, which make Dirac point more accessible and produce high quality graphene samples. The fabrication and cleaning techniques (i.e. current annealing) leading devices with charge mobility values in excess of 106 cm2/V-s will be presented and the data revealing the improvement in graphene quality after current annealing will be discussed.

"The Modern Gladiolus Grower" 1914
Since the weather has been so cooperative in my neck of the woods this year, I thought it the perfect time to share a Daffodil Cake recipe for St. David's Day! St. David is the Patron Saint of Wales. In times past, and in some regions today, men wear a leek in their hat in tribute to St. David and women wear daffodils the national flower of Wales.
I first re-encountered Daffodil Cake over at Marjie's a while back and since, I've been waiting for just the right day to introduce it to you! We all know I'm not much of a baker, heck lately I'm not much of a cook either but that's a story for another day, lol:) Marjie was so sweet to let me share her cake with you and for that I thank her! Thank you Marjie. You can get Marjie's recipe which she harvested from the "new" Fannie Farmer cookbook (I'm guessing the revised edition by Marion Cunningham ) over at The Modern Day Ozzie and Harriet blog:) Don't you just want to devour it? As Marjie says, "The cake had a wonderful citrus flavor."
I remember skimming through a few of the early editions of Ms. Farmer's cookbooks and couldn't find a recipe for Daffodil Cake. As far as I can tell, the original Daffodil Cake recipe surfaced sometime in the 1930s. What "cracks" me up about the recipe is the amount of eggs it uses. To have such an egg laden cake so popular during the 1930s seems rather odd but, it seems, the purveyors of Swan's Down Cake Flour may have introduced it in the late 1920s or early 1930s. I did find a copy of the Van Nuys Newspaper online published in July of 1932 where three cakes were provided for contestants to bake in a cooking contest. One was a Daffodil Cake. It's extremely difficult to read but if you want to give it a try, and maybe your eyes are stronger than mine, here's the link. (the online magnifying glass is easy to manipulate once you get the hang of it:) BTW, the other two choices were Chocolate Angel Food Cake and Burnt Sugar Cake. (you really should follow those links one is at Anna's Cookie Madness and the other is for Old Fashioned Burnt Sugar Cake which looks phenomenal!)
What is a Daffodil Cake? I guess you could say it is a marbleized yellow sponge/angel food cake baked in either a Tube pan or an Angel Food cake pan. Unlike Chiffon Cakes, it contains no butter, shortening or oil. It can be served unfrosted, or for special occasions such as birthdays, it can be glazed or frosted with butter cream. When prepared correctly, the colors are reminiscent of a cheerful daffodil!
The secret to any these types of Foam Cakes is all in the beating and the incorporation of air. Here's what I found at The Joy of Baking.
Daffodil Cake was quite popular well into the 1970s. Here's a recipe from Betty Crocker.
As I was searching for Daffodil Cake variations, I stumbled upon Pig Lickin' Cake. Well, since today is also National Pig Day, I just had to include it too! Apparently, Pig Lickin' Cake, a Mandarin Orange Cake, is very popular in the south and often confused with Daffodil Cake. Like Daffodil Cake, it too can be prepared with a cake mix:)
Today is also Peanut Butter Lovers' Day for all you Peanut Butter Lovers out there. While I'm at it, and since I won't be back until Sunday, don't forget Banana Creme Pie Day tomorrow and National Mulled Wine Day on Saturday.

The recipe consists of two parts: First you need to make mint syrup. I like to use peppermint and spearmint for a more dense flavor, although you can probably use either.
Mint Syrup Recipe
2 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups fresh mint (Pack it tight)
Combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for five minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, and then strain it through a length of muslin. Refrigerate.
Mint Julep Recipe
Crushed ice
2 oz. bourbon
1 tablespoon mint syrup (If you're not that fond of bourbon, use more.)

Before selecting furniture to your Makeup Station for Bedroom
, you should decide some factors wall colour, or bedroom wallpaper, and the type of flooring that you might want. Try to go with a colour that will help produce a calm atmosphere and in addition compliment well together with your bedroom accessories. Light must be chosen wisely at the same time because a very bright bedroom just isn't soothing enough, whereas an area with insufficient lighting will hinder activities including bedtime reading. Accessories add the perfect finishing touch to bedroom designs. As an example, soft furnishings add comfort, style and colour whereas beautiful cashmere throws are deluxe and warm. Scented candles add a nice touch and woven baskets provide storage and fully trust natural, rustic and eclectic styles. It's also possible to use wallpaper to use the configuration of one's room, for example, striped wallpaper may make walls look taller, or rooms appear wider, which can be particularly best for small rooms.

On Thursday's "Project Runway All Stars" finale, Mondo Guerra beat out Austin Scarlett and Michael Costello to win the cut-throat fashion design competition.
A 5th generation Mexican-American, Guerra has been a fan favorite since he first appeared on the show in Season 8. He's the first Latino to win in the "Project Runway" franchise.
During the All Star finale runway show, Guerra described what went into make his winning collection, "Therapy."
After weeks of stressful design challenges, Guerra said "I needed some therapy, I put all my passion into my work."
"Project Runway All Stars" : Welcome Back Mondo Guerra!
The six piece collection was true to Guerra's signature design esthetic. A master of mixing prints, Guerra's use of black and white geographic patterns and unexpected pops of red wowed the judges.
Judge and fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi told Guerra that of the three collections in the finale, his was "the most cohesive, in the whit of it."
Co-founder of fashion label Marchesa, judge Georgina Chapman, couldn't rave enough about Guerra, calling him a brilliant designer.

When host and model Angela Lindvall told Guerra he was the winner, he couldn't believe it.
"Being on 'Project Runway All Stars' was the hardest thing I've done. "
Guerra continued, "I came here with such confidence, understanding who I was…but being here has made me realize I can't…take what I've been given for granted."
Mondo Commemorates World AIDS Day with, Um, Skulls
Guerra made it into the finale in Season 8 as well, but lost the title to fellow designer Gretchen Jones.
While in Season 8 the designer walked away empty handed, Guerra's 'All Star' win has him taking home the biggest prize in "Project Runway" history.
Aside from $100,000 in cash, Guerra also received a yearlong guest editor position at fashion magazine Marie Claire and an exclusive boutique in select Neiman Marcus department stores.

We are both participating in the New Year Blog Swap hosted by A Grande Life and got matched up out of 26 bloggers to swap blog posts.
With a new year, comes the desire to want to try new things and meet new people. I am excited to be participating in the New Year Blog Swap hosted by the lovely Steph of A Grande Life.
One of my many goals for 2013 is to improve my photography skills. Last year I set out to learn how to finally shoot in manual mode. After taking a four week class in February, I slowly improved my skills. I love shooting in manual mode, but have so much more to learn. Since the goal of "improve my photography skills" is so broad it's time to narrow down what I want to learn.
1. Set my white balance before shooting- I purchased a gray card last spring and have yet to actually use it. I have watched several videos on how to set the white balance, but haven't taken the time to pick up my camera and do it! Instead, I spend countless minutes fixing the white balance with every single photo. I really could be saving myself a step in editing if I just learn.
2. Take more photos of myself with the boys- I bought a new tripod last summer to take photos of a gorgeous sunflower field. I didn't even use it for the shoot, but have pulled it out a handful of times since. This year I want to learn how to take better photos of the boys and I together, using my tripod. This time with them is precious and we need more family photos together. Sadly we didn't even get one family photo of us during Christmas.
3. Find a great location for sunset photos and learn how to take amazing sunset shots.
4. Complete Project 365, posting all my photos for the week to my blog. I am finding winter to be such a hard time to be inspired to take photos. The light in my house is not great and there isn't a whole lot of scenery around here in the winter. At least if it snowed a few times I could get some fun photos of the boys in the snow. Not to mention some great shots of the sights of DC covered with snow. Sigh...a girl can dream, right?
I think those are more than enough photography skills for the new year. They should keep me plenty busy! Since I feel that a blog post isn't complete without at least one photo, here are a few of my boys over the past weekend. Xander, my oldest, will be four in just a month. It's hard to believe how fast time goes!
Noah, my youngest, will be two in April. He has started using full sentences lately and it just makes me smile.
Thanks for letting me crash your blog Lusine. It's great to mingle with other bloggers and I loved all of your new year blogging resolutions.

"You shall be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16)
"The hand that points us to holiness is the hand that extends its grace to make us holy; by pointing us upward it lifts us upward. Thus the plea is cut off: "I am not able to be holy." The call to be holy implies that we still lack complete holiness, but also that we are able to overcome this lack by grace. This call spurs us on to use God's grace to the fullest extent in every part of our conduct so as to make it pleasing to the Holy One… the requirement of holiness is fundamental for God's children in both Testaments. What God asked of Israel when he made that people his own he now asks and must ask of us whom he has called by Jesus Christ. God does not connive at sin and unholy living since forgiveness has come through Christ. Let no one think he can remain among the children of obedience while he still fashions his conduct according to the old lusts. Only the pure in heart shall see God, and without holiness it is impossible to see him. Christ died, not to save us in our sins, but from our sins."
R.C.H. Lenski, The Interpretation of The Epistles of St. Peter, St. John and St. Jude (Columbus: Wartburg Press, 1956), 56-57. Lenski's helpful application here to our responsibility for the pursuit of holiness should not be understood as intimating a doctrine of perfectionism. Rather it emphasizes the biblical imperative to use the God-given means of grace to grow in holiness, looking to Christ, knowing that it is he who works in us to will and to do his good pleasure, and that it is he who, through his gracious work of glorification, and resurrection, will complete the good work begun in us.
