Baruch Fischoff chuckles when he thinks about it. On Sept. 10, he spent some time with a reporter for The New York Times, talking about the risk of shark attacks.
''It was the last day of another era,'' he says.
On Sept. 10, we worried about shark attacks and fatty diets, ticks carrying Lyme disease and drivers talking on cellular phones. Then, suddenly, these risks seemed remote, replaced by hijacked jets plummeting from the skies, and -- within weeks -- by insidious, poisonous letters.
The reaction?
Americans demanded the antibiotic Cipro from Mexican pharmacies which dispense drugs without prescriptions. A factory in Auburn, Neb., closed for two days after a worker found a powder at the end of a roll of toilet paper in the men's room. Planes flew half empty. Commuters fretted -- would their train pass through a tunnel at the moment a terrorist's bomb went off?
All of these things and more, though it seems unlikely that terrorism will kill as many Americans as do motor vehicle accidents (42,191 in 1998) or poisonings (10,801).
In a posting this past week on an Internet bulletin board for infectious disease epidemiologists, science writer Ed Regis noted that about 300 Americans are killed each year by drowning in bathtubs, and in 1991, 1,247 died by inhalation or ingestion of food.
''In other words,'' he wrote, ''you are far more likely to die by taking a bath or eating your dinner than by opening an anthrax-laced envelope.''
Yet experts on risk perception like Fischoff, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh who studies human judgment and decision making, say these are reasonable responses, under the astonishing circumstances.
''You get disproportionate perceptions of risk,'' says Fischoff, but that is understandable: ''People don't like situations where they think that things might be out of control, where the information isn't very good.''
And the fact is, bad things are happening -- media attention is not necessarily exaggerating this story. Millions did see the World Trade Center vanish in flame and dust; people are being exposed to anthrax in highly visible places, in the media and government.
''Whoever is responsible for these attacks, they're brilliant'' in the way they are choosing the targets for anthrax-laced envelopes, says David Murray, research director for the Statistical Assessment Service in Washington. ''They've taken a very small fire, and put it behind a magnifying glass.''
Murray says he cannot begin to establish the statistical likelihood of falling victim to terrorist attacks -- there are too many unknown factors.
''I think the worst thing we can do is pretend to knowledge we don't have,'' Murray says.
It seems that ''we face far more dangerous elements in our daily life'' than terrorism, including car accidents and the flu, he says. And there are some very dangerous threats that people seem to accept without much concern.
''People live in Oklahoma, which has never been particularly clear to me, because it's Tornado Alley,'' Murray says. ''People live in flood plains and on hurricane coasts.''
That's exactly so, says Paul Slovic, president of Decision Research, a non-profit institute in Eugene, Ore., and an authority on risk perception. People tend to accept natural hazards, but they dread technological hazards.
When the Mount St. Helens erupted with the force of a nuclear bomb, ''They had to keep people away. People didn't dread the prospect that a natural nuclear bomb was about to go off -- they wanted to come and see,'' Slovic says.
But the prospect of actual nuclear accidents sets off emotional alarms.
Slovic says two processes are at work: analytical and experiential. The first uses logical assessments of risks; the second is older, primordial, employing gut feelings and memories to guide us. It would ''tell us whether this animal was safe to approach or this strange looking water was safe to drink,'' Slovic says, and it usually outpaces our intellectual reactions.
We react, he says, to two factors he calls dread risk and unknown risk.
On the top end of the dread scale are risks that are uncontrollable, fatal, catastrophic, involuntary, technological. The unknown risk scale is similar. At the top: risks that are not observable, new, unknown to those exposed, unknown to science, with delayed effects.
Slovic has created a graph, plotting 81 different hazards according to these two scales.
The lowest quadrant includes things like skateboards, swimming pools and smoking; the top quadrant -- the hazards most likely to inspire feelings of anxiety or fear, and most likely to inspire action -- include nuclear weapons fallout, reactor accidents and asbestos insulation.
Terrorism wasn't even among the hazards Slovic listed when he conducted that survey more than 20 years ago. He quotes Yale sociologist Kai Erikson: This is ''a new species of trouble.''
But he has no doubt that it would be at the very top of Slovic's risk scale -- especially anthrax, which is invisible, uncontrollable, involuntary, possibly fatal, new to most people, and has delayed effects. If you tried, you couldn't imagine a hazard more likely to inspire fear.
''And it's not just this,'' Slovic says. ''It's what's around the corner. Many people have said that the world's changed since Sept. 11. And it has, in fundamental ways.''
People have changed, too. Jennifer Lerner, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon, says this may be key to how individuals assess the risks after Sept. 11.
Lerner has studied the way that emotions unleashed by events can affect the ways in which people deal with risks. A traumatic event, she says, generally inspires three reactions: anger, sadness or fear. And each one causes people to behave differently.
Angry people tend to blame individuals for what happened, Lerner says. They ''don't stop to ask themselves, 'Hmm, let me try to figure out the situation.'''
Anger is an optimistic reaction, she says -- it leads people to believe that they can take control of the situation. And it leads them to accept risks.
So far, President Bush is ''clearly taking an angry tone. And I think that's no accident,'' Lerner says. In hard times, people look to their leaders for a sense that something can be done.
Fearful people, by contrast, blame the larger situation itself. They are more pessimistic. They are less likely to accept risks, she says. Sadness falls between those two poles.
In time, people may feel all three emotions in response to an event; as they become more knowledgeable about it, they may drift from fear to anger. And some people may be more prone to one emotion or another throughout their lives.
Often, Lerner says, ''angry people fail to perceive the real risks.'' They gamble where they shouldn't, and ignore health problems. They are more prone to heart disease.
But fear has its own pitfalls.
''In general, most reactions are counterproductive in most circumstances,'' says Murray of the Statistical Assessment Service. ''Horses run back into the barn when it's burning. Why on Earth do horses do that? I guess they panic.''
Murray suggests that the impulse to hide from terrorism may be a similarly wrong response.
''American life really depends upon interchange, dynamism, openness,'' he says. ''Any hunkering down ... is most likely to amplify our risks.''
''We need to get out, to know our neighbors, to be vigilant,'' he says.
Ultimately, he predicts, we may become like the Israelis and others who live in more dangerous places. Understanding the risks, we will make them part of our routine. And then, terrorism will be like crime and fires -- real perils, but manageable.

Flame Virus
Definition - What does Flame Virus mean?
Flame has the ability to collect data files, switch on PC microphones to capture conversations, remotely modify the settings on computers, record instant messaging conversations and grab screen shots.
Techopedia explains Flame Virus
According to the research from Kaspersky, the majority of infected systems are in Iran, followed by Palestinian, Israel, Syria and Sudan. Researchers suspect that the Flame virus belongs to the same family of the notorious and malicious Stuxnet program and its successor, Duqu. Kaspersky Labs considers the introduction of the Flame virus another phase in cyberwarfare.
Per the technical analysis of Crysys Lab, a unit investigating viruses at Budapest University, the Flame virus has been created by a nation state or government with significant funding behind its design.
Crysys Lab authorities claim that the Flame virus is carefully engineered to be highly potent and secretly gather information from large networks of infected machines. The Flame virus tackles all important opportunities to collect information, such as the screen, keyboard, Wi-Fi, microphone, network, storage devices, system processes, Bluetooth and USBs.
Investigators illustrate unparalleled software layers, which are intended to unnoticeably permit the Flame virus to break into computer networks. The 20 MB file infects Microsoft Windows computers and includes five encryption algorithms and unique data storage models.
At the time the virus was discovered, Crysys Lab claimed that a link between Flame, Stuxnet and Duqu has not yet been proven. Although they share several common elements, Flame bears only minor similarity to the other viruses. For example, the Flame virus does not automatically self-propagate, but it can do so if enabled by its hidden controllers.

Outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev has praised the rapid development of the internet in Russia and called on web users to engage more in policy-making.
"The possibilities of the Internet, social networks and blogosphere should be used to make the authorities more open and transparent," Medvedev said in a video blog posting on Wednesday.
He said hoping for state bureaucrats to "make Russia better" would mean "gratifying [their] abuse of authority."
Medvedev has pushed his image as a tech-savvy modernizer during his four years in office, and has frequently spoken of his "fondness" of the Internet.
He said Russia's Internet segment - known as Runet - has a monthly audience of nearly 58 million people aged 18 or older.
"The country needs you active people," Medvedev said.
Internet penetration in Russia has doubled over the last six years, according to a survey carried out by the state-run pollster VTsIOM.
About 58 percent of Russia's 143 million population is online, the pollster said.
Runet has been largely free of the kind of state controls exerted over television and much of the print media, and provides a vital outlet for opposition and human rights movements.
Medvedev, who steps down in May, said the government was carrying out more of its work online, and called on regional authorities to make more use of the Internet to solve "thorny issues."

Quick fix Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thanks for the info. Indeed, installing it again (even without uninstalling first) fixed the addon - it's working again.
Hide BookmarksBar
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Just under
var toolbar = document.getElementById("PersonalToolbar"); window.setToolbarVisibility(toolbar, display);
I've added
window.setToolbarVisibility(document.getElementById("TabsToolbar"), display);
Now I get simple one-click way to hide both toolbars - great for screen sharing to quickly hide distracting stuff.
Would be good to add this officially, as option maybe.

It used to be must-have, now it's not working. Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Does not work anymore. On recent FF update VSW cleared the list of editors and there is no way of adding new one. After picking path and setting the name it's not stored. The list stays empty. Any working alternative?This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.4.2.1-signed.1-signed). This user has a previous review of this add-on.
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
There is no edit comment button (?!).
Magically after a day it started to show numbers again in FF 30, so my previous comment is not valid anymore.
Firefox 30 - lack of number of unread rss Rated 4 out of 5 stars
With Firefox 30 Brief no longer shows number of unread rss. It shows only icon and the option to show the number does not work.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (220.127.116.11-signed). This user has other reviews of this add-on.

Finally, a working extension!
I always used Add N Cookie (now Cookie Editor) but they can't save any changes. Here no problems. FF 15.0.1

No editing. Found better extension. Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Works the same as Add N Cookies. View only, no ability to create nor edit. Changes are not saved. So totally no difference in features comparing to original. Only window size fixed, nothing more.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
It used to be a great addon but since like FF12 or close to that it stopped to work as it should. Clicking on icon does nothing. In order to open HTML in the editor we have to click drop down menu showing all HTML, JS, CSS, and select 1st position. Then it works. Irritating workaround.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.1.1.1-signed.1-signed).
Add N Edit Cookies
Still works Rated 4 out of 5 stars
It's enough to change maxVersion and this extension works great with newest Firefox - 10.0.2 at the moment. The only minus is that extension doesn't remember size of the window and it starts too small but that's a relative minor issue.
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
I'm using it for more than a year. It was good but recently (like 1..2 weeks from now) something changed and now it's unusable. No items in "all" section. In "unread" section there is no way to delete (or mark as read) so I can't track what was read and what was not. The only thing that is working is to mark whole folder as read but this is not handy here. More over, before that recent change it was opening any link in new tab. Now when clicked on header the page is opened in frame inside Brief tab which is ridiculous. Those changes forced me to look for replacement for Brief :(This review is for a previous version of the add-on (22.214.171.124-signed).
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
as z0diac said, almost 100% tries end up with "Error: Miscellaneous" (checked with ImageShack) - it used to be great tool, now it just doesn't work.

Drifa set up her table (a small wooden affair) just a little ways up from where the digging was taking place. She had finally constructed a solid oak box to store her gear in (no more dusty tiles), and to be used also as a seat. She took everything out and placed it on the small table, her favorite mug last. She saw that Alf and Duff had rolled in the customary ale barrels - tapped and ready. Drawing herself a mug full, she placed it on her table and posted the line up of the diggers who would be deciphering the runes.
Beneath the halls of the Lonely Mountain, many tunnels have yet to be delved and many shafts have yet to be explored. Of late, a new tunnel has been all the buzz amonst the dwarves. Runes have been found in the debris, carved into the rock and stone that the delving has produced.

A dermatofibroma is a common skin growth. It is a small, firm bump on the skin. The dermis layer of skin contains nerve endings, glands, and vessels. The bump is an overgrowth of the tissue in the dermis layer. The bump is generally pinkish-brown in color. It is often found on the legs. Sometimes more than one appears. Generally, they are harmless and are not connected to skin cancer.
The cause is unknown. Dermatofibromas sometimes appear after a minor injury to the skin. This can include an insect bite or a prick of a thorn.
These bumps rarely cause symptoms. However, it is always important to see a doctor about any new skin growth.
Dermatofibromas are:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
A dermatofibroma is diagnosed by sight and touch. Your doctor may also squeeze the skin over the bump. When squeezed together, a dimple will form.
If diagnosis is not certain, the bump can be surgically removed. The removed tissue will be examined under a microscope.
Dermatofibromas do not go away by themselves. Treatment is usually not needed. It may be done if it is causing discomfort (itching or pain) or if they are unsightly. They do not pose any health risk.
Treatment options include the following:
The dermatofibroma may be cut off surgically. This can be done with local anesthesia.
Keep in mind that the dermatofibroma is usually deep. The removal will leave a scar.

Christine O'Donnell denied that she was a witch in a TV spot aired by her 2010 Delaware Senate campaign, but the beleaguered Mitt Romney campaign hopes she will work magic with conservative Republicans.
Described by the Romney campaign as a "leader of the conservative movement", O'Donnell on Tuesday night endorsed Romney. The Tea Party favorite praised the GOP presidential hopeful for making "necessary changes" in his positions.
Romney depicted himself as a pro-choice, pro-gay rights "progressive" running for governor of Massachusetts in 2002, but has since recanted or changed his mind on many stands taken a decade ago.
"That's one of the things I like about him — because he has been consistent since he changed his mind," said O'Donnell, according to a Wednesday report in Politico.
The Romney campaign is scrambling for support on the right: A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that 70 percent of Republicans consider themselves conservative, but fewer than one-third view Romney as a fellow conservative.
Romney has trotted out an endorsement from right-wing scribe Ann Coulter, describing him as "the most conservative candidate" in the race.
O'Donnell is widely seen as one of three Tea Party Senate candidates — the others being in Nevada and Colorado — who helped cost Republicans control of the Senate in last year's mid-term election.
She argued Tuesday that ex-House Speaker Newt Gingrich is no friend of the Tea Party.
"Newt Gingrich was on the side of the establishment: The Tea Party, I don't think should be behind Newt at all," said O'Donnell.

"You will never know what 'stress relief' is, until you have been to Altnaharrie Inn"
Western Highlands of Scotland offer one of the most spectacular and beautiful
locations in the whole of Europe. Ullapool situated on the north west coast
of this magical land is unique, with the Gulf Stream providing a particularly
mild climate not normally associated with the mountainous coastal country
of Scotland.
Steeped in history, Altnaharrie Inn nestles in a sheltered bay on the south shore of Loch Broom. Isolated from the stress and strain of daily life, this tranquil haven has a magical charm and as many a visitor has observed, "is the most relaxing and idyllic place they have ever seen".
Until recent years Altnaharrie Inn was only accessible by passenger ferry from Ullapool, which, as for the past 250 years, still sails three times a day carrying travelers back and forth from the south of Loch Broom to Ullapool. Now an important part of the famous Fort William to Cape Wrath Trail, which has become a 'must' for walkers and hikers from all over the world.
The self catering accommodation at Altnaharrie Inn offers quality, privacy and is secluded but at the same time visitors have the chance to meet fellow seekers of "the better life" if they wish. From the Gate House Cottage there is easy access to the beach, the surrounding countryside, hill walking and is only a five-minute ferry ride from the renowned fishing port of Ullapool which has daily ferry (car and passenger) sailing's to Stornaway.
Ullapool enjoys a interesting night's entertainment, with live music most nights at one of the towns welcoming pubs and cafes. Further afield, the spectacular countryside of Wester Ross finds the visitor within a world of mountains, glens, lochs and rivers. Nature lovers and country sportsmen are spoilt for choice, with activities such as sailing, fishing, hill walking, mountain climbing, cycling and of course 'just letting go and becoming immersed in the peace and tranquility'.
The Loch
Broom region yields sightings of numerous and exciting examples of flora
and fauna such as birds of prey, sea otters, seals, the occasional dolphin
or porpoise, deer, pine martens and if you are particularly observant
eagles may be seen soaring whilst hunting amongst the mountains and glens.
If you have some time to spare why not take the Altnaharrie tour click here to view. Requires Macromedia Fash.

Just Received My Ajax Silver Rounds - Mike Maloney
Our newest entry into our Modern Ancients silver collection is now here. It was inspired by the hero, Ajax, and the Ancient Greek coins that once featured him.
Our Ajax is 1 oz of .999 fine silver, crafted with a stunning image of the hero poised in battle. It's truly an epic silver round featuring an epic hero. When you hold one of them, you'll appreciate its high quality - and the fact that it comes at bullion pricing.
Ajax coins were first minted over two thousand years ago in Opus, a burgeoning city on the shores of the Aegean Sea. This is where, according to legend, Ajax departed with 40 ships to fight the epic Trojan War.
The Trojan War is important to the Greeks because it defined who they were as a people. It marked their passage from a loose band of tribes into a powerful civilization that forever changed the world.
And Ajax was a big part of why they won the war.
He was as daring and brash a warrior as he was brilliant. Much like General Patton but instead of a Colt 45, he was armed with a bronze sword and wooden shield.
Ajax eventually perished at sea, but his hero status still grew. After his death, whenever soldiers from his hometown were called into battle, they always left one place open for him in formation, believing his spirit was fighting alongside them.
And when they returned home, they further honored Ajax by striking coins with his likeness on them. The silver used to mint these coins was their salary, the spoils of war.
They fought. Won. And were paid in real money that could not be devalued, altered, or confiscated. No wonder Ancient Greece was one of the most prosperous societies in history.
Our artists took great care to do the original justice. Ajax is lunging forward sword in hand, shield in the other, advancing over the broken spears of his enemies.
It's an absolutely stunning coin. And each is made from one ounce of fine .999 silver.
Ounce for ounce that is a bargain. You're getting more for your money with the Ajax, and it's a beautiful coin at that.
Think of it as collectible silver without the mark-up. It's priced the same as bullion.

WASHINGTON — President Reagan said Wednesday any effort to cut back defense spending from the $311 billion in his new budget is ''reckless, dangerous and wrong.'' He warned, ''America's strength is in jeopardy.''
While saying the nation has made considerable progress in the past five years while $1.2 trillion has gone into military spending, Reagan said the ''hard, cold reality of our defense deficit'' demands nothing less than the amount he seeks for fiscal 1987.

Germany's Severin Freund flies to Four Hills Tour ski jumping victory
Becomes 1st German to win event in 13 years
SeverinFreund became the first German winner on the ski jumping Four Hills Tour in 13 years when his big jump in the second heat gave him the opening leg on Tuesday.
Lagging fifth after the first heat, Freund soared 137.5 metres in his second effort.
Freund had a jump of 126 metres in the first heat but mastered difficult wind conditions in the second to win ahead of Michael Hayboeck of Austria.
"It was a very good second jump. The wind conditions were changing constantly," Freund said after his 21st win on the World Cup circuit. "But this is just the beginning."
Overall World Cup leader Peter Prevc's run of three consecutive wins ended as the Slovenian finished third.
Anders Fannemel of Norway was fourth, ahead of the 43-year-old Japanese jumper Noriaki Kasai. Kenneth Gangnes of Norway was sixth, and last year's Four Hills winner, Stefan Kraft of Austria, was seventh.
Hayboeck, who was runner-up in the competition last season, had the longest jump of the day at 139 metres in the second heat, after an effort of 130 in the first.
But the lengths were not decisive, as wind conditions and style were also factored in, and Freund finished with a higher points total of 307.2. Hayboeck had 304.2.
Prevc led after the first heat with a jump of 129.5 metres but had to settle for the third-best points total of 299.9 after an effort of 130 metres in the second.
The second leg of the tour is on Friday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Create a place in your home that is your special retreat, says Sarah Susanka, a Minneapolis architect and author of "Creating the Not-So-Big House." It may be a corner where you like to write in your journal and want to place personal objects, such as childhood teddy bears or treasures from your grandmother.
Break down the bulk. If you have large rooms, use screens to create an alcove.
For rooms with high ceilings, paint the ceiling a darker color or add shelves to break up the vertical lines and make the space feel less imposing, the experts say. Bring the outdoors indoors. Whether they're fresh or dried, plants and flowers are a good way to reconnect with nature.

The tournament's leading scorer Olivia Epoupa sat out the game as French Head Coach Jerome Fournier was looking for an opportunity to give some of his key players a well deserved rest.
The Finns gave the favoured French a good battle in the first half, especially in the opening quarter they kept up with France. An 8-0 run even gave them an early lead.
France responded with a 13-0 run to reclaim the lead (10-20). Finland rallied and outscored France 8-2 to end the first quarter on a positive note.
In the second quarter the French took advantage of their size underneath the baskets. Out-rebounding Finland 26-11 they were able to secure themselves a lot more possessions. At halftime they led by as many as 14 points (24-38).
After the break France outclassed Finland as they claimed an 18 point advantage at the end of the third period.
The gap grew bigger after France started the final quarter with 10 unanswered points. Down 33-61 the Finns knew all they could do is accept defeat.
Clémentine Morateur of France led all scorers with 15 points. Ella Rantanen had 10 points for Finland.

This section describes tasks that you need to complete Oracle Application Express configuration after you finish installing the Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) software.
This chapter contains the following topics:
If you had a previous Oracle Application Express installation, then after the Oracle RAC installation completes, you need to restart the Oracle Application Express processes that you stopped before you began the installation, such as the listener. In addition, restart Oracle HTTP Server.
If you are already running Oracle Application Express 3.0, then check the Oracle Application Express page on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) at the following URL for information about patch set releases or later versions of Oracle Application Express:
Upgrading to Oracle Database 11g will not patch an Application Express 3.0 instance to Application Express 3.0.1.
Oracle Application Express requires access either to the embedded PL/SQL gateway, or to Oracle HTTP Server and
mod_plsql. Review the following information to select an HTTP server.
This section contains the following topics:
Oracle recommends that you use Oracle HTTP Server with
modplsql, as it permits you to specify a connection in the service name format, so that one HTTP Server can access all nodes. This section contains instructions for configuring that HTTP server.
Oracle recommends that you do not select the embedded PL/SQL gateway option for Oracle RAC installations. The embedded PL/SQL gateway uses an HTTP Server built into the database instance, and because of this, it does not take advantage of the Oracle RAC shared architecture.
To use an embedded PL/SQL gateway as the HTTP server with RAC, the gateway must be configured on each node, and users of Oracle Application Express would have to specify which node they would like to access in the URL. If the node fails, then the embedded PL/SQL gateway fails as well, and the service is not failed over to surviving nodes.
Oracle HTTP Server uses the
mod_plsql plug-in to communicate to the Oracle Application Express engine within Oracle Database. It functions as a communication broker between the Web server and the Oracle Application Express objects in Oracle Database. More specifically, it maps browser requests into database stored procedure calls over a SQL*Net connection.
Note that this configuration consists of three tier architecture: a Web browser, Oracle HTTP Server (ohs) with
mod_plsql, and an Oracle database containing Oracle Application Express.
Whether you are loading a new installation or upgrading from a previous release, you must copy the images directory from the top level of the
$ORACLE_HOME/apex directory to the location on the file system containing the Oracle home for Oracle HTTP Server.
This section includes the following topics:
During an upgrade, you must overwrite your existing images directory. Before you begin the upgrade, to ensure that you can revert to the previous version, Oracle recommends that you create a copy of your existing
images directory for Oracle Application Express, indicating the release number of the images (for example,
To locate the path to the
images directory on the file system, locate the text
alias /i/ in one of the following files, depending on your existing version release:
Oracle9i HTTP Server release 2—see the
httpd.conf file.
Oracle HTTP Server 11g—see the
dads.conf file.
Oracle Application Server 10g—see the
marvel.conf file.
When you locate the images directory path, Oracle recommends that you copy the existing images directory to a backup location. Doing this enables you to revert to the previous release, if that becomes necessary.
After you copy the existing images directory, use the following command syntax to copy the
apex\images directory from the Oracle Database 11g home to the existing images directory path, overwriting the existing images:
Existing Oracle Application Server 10g
cp -rf ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HOME/apex/images\ ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME/Apache
Existing Oracle HTTP Server 11g:
cp -rf ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HOME/apex/images\ ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME/ohs
In the preceding syntax examples:
ORACLE_BASE is an Oracle software base directory, in which Oracle home directories are installed, such as
ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME is the existing Oracle Application Server or Oracle HTTP Server Oracle home
ORACLE_HOME is the Oracle Database 11g Oracle home
For example:
cp -rf u01/app/oracle/10_2/db_1/apex/images \ u01/app/oracle/OAS_11_0/ohs
After installation, copy the directory
apex/images, using a command similar to the following:
cp -rf ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HOME/apex/images\ ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME/ohs
This section describes how to configure different versions of Oracle HTTP Server with
mod_plsql in a new installation.
Topics in this section include:
Configuring Oracle HTTP Server Release 9.0.3 in a New Installation
Configuring Oracle HTTP Server or Oracle Application Server in a New Installation
Oracle highly recommends that you configure and use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to ensure that passwords and other sensitive data are not transmitted in clear text in HTTP requests. Without the use of SSL, passwords potentially could be exposed, compromising the security of your Application Express instance.
SSL is an industry standard protocol that uses RSA public key cryptography in conjunction with symmetric key cryptography to provide authentication, encryption, and data integrity.
In Oracle HTTP Server release 9.0.3, the file
wdbsvr.app contains information about the Database Access Descriptor (DAD) to access Oracle Application Express. A DAD is a set of values that specify how the Oracle HTTP Server component
modplsql connects to the database server to fulfill an HTTP request.
To change the password for the
ADMIN account:
Change your working directory to
Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as
SYS. For example:
$ sqlplus sys/SYS_password as sysdba
Enter the following command followed by the new password:
@apxxepwd.sql password
For example to change the password to
@apxxepwd.sql password apex1234
To specify the password in the DAD file, use the following procedure to the password for the database user
Start SQL*Plus, and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as
SYS. For example:
$ sqlplus sys/SYS_password as sysdba
Enter the following SQL statement, where
PASSWORD is the new password:
To create the DAD, modify the file
wdbsvr.app, and add an entry for Oracle Application Express.
To modify the
wdbsvr.app file:
Using a text editor, open the file
wdbsvr.app, which is in the path
Add an entry for Oracle Application Express using the following syntax. Only change the settings indicated in italics.
[DAD_htmldb] connect_string = localhost:1521:orcl password = apex username = apex_public_user default_page = apex document_table = wwv_flow_file_objects$ document_path = docs document_proc = wwv_flow_file_mgr.process_download reuse = Yes enablesso = No stateful = STATELESS_RESET nls_lang = American_America.AL32UTF8
connect_string refers to the host ID, port number, and Oracle9i database where Oracle Application Express was installed. Use the format
If you have an Oracle9i version of Oracle HTTP Server you want to use, and it is installed in the same Oracle home as the database you specified for use with Oracle Application Express, then leave this parameter blank.
password is the password for the Oracle Application Express
ADMIN account you specified in "Changing the Password for the APEX_PUBLIC_USER Database User".
nls_lang determines the language setting of the DAD. The character set portion of the
nls_lang value must always be set to
AL32UTF8, regardless of whether or not the database character set is
If either the territory portion or the language portion of the NLS settings contains a space, then you must wrap the value in double quotes, as shown in the following example:
nls_lang = "ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.AL32UTF8"
You can find information about your database's NLS settings by querying the view
NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS as shown in the following example:
SELECT parameter,value FROM nls_database_parameters WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';
Leave the remaining settings, including the username setting, as they appear in the preceding example.
Save and exit the
wdbsvr.app file.
You need to modify the
httpd.conf file to include an alias that points to the file system path where you copied the images directory. You may also need to modify the
httpd.conf file to add two new MIME types to support SQL Workshop.
To modify the
httpd.conf file:
Using a text editor, open the following file:
Add an alias entry that points to the file system path where you copied the images directory. For example:
alias /i/ "/home/oracle/OraHome1/Apache/Apache/images/"
Add the following lines to the
httpd.conf file, if they are not already in the file:
AddType text/xml xbl AddType text/x-component htc
If you are upgrading from Oracle HTML DB 2.0, then these MIME types should be defined in the file already.
Save and exit the
httpd.conf file.
Restart the Oracle HTTP Server with the changed DAD setting.
To stop and restart the Oracle HTTP Server, enter commands using the following syntax, where
ORACLE_BASE is the path to the Oracle base directory:
ORACLE_BASE/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl stop ORACLE_BASE/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start
Note:If Oracle HTTP Server is set to listen on port 1024 or lower, then you must run the stop and start commands as a privileged user, such as
See Also:Oracle HTTP Server Administrator's Guide
Oracle Application Express must have access to Oracle HTTP Server with
mod_plsql. Perform the postinstallation steps in this section if one of the following conditions is true:
You are running Oracle HTTP Server 11g or Oracle Application Server 10g.
Oracle HTTP Server is installed in an Oracle home.
You have not previously configured Oracle HTTP Server to work with Oracle Application Express.
These instructions do not apply if you are running Oracle HTTP Server release 9.0.3. For more information on configuring Oracle HTTP Server release 9.0.3, see "Configuring Oracle HTTP Server in a New Installation".
If these instructions do apply to your installation, then complete the following steps:
Note:Within the context of this section, the Apache home directory (
ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME) is the location where Oracle HTTP Server is installed.
You must change the password for the Oracle Application Express
ADMIN account.
To change the password for the
ADMIN account:
Change your working directory to $ORACLE_HOME/apex.
Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as
SYS. For example:
$ sqlplus sys/SYS_password as sysdba
Using the following syntax, enter the new password:
> @apxxepwd.sql password
For example, to change the password to apex1234:
> @apxxepwd.sql apex1234
When configuring Oracle HTTP Server for Oracle Application Express in a new installation, the database user
APEX_PUBLIC_USER must be an unlocked account. To unlock the account for database user
APEX_PUBLIC_USER, complete the following steps:
Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as
SYS. For example:
$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus
SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: SYS_password
Run the following command:
To specify the password in the DAD file, use the following procedure to change the password for the database user
Start SQL*Plus, and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as
SYS. For example:
$ sqlplus sys/SYS_password as sysdba
Enter the following SQL statement, where
PASSWORD is the new password:
If this is a new installation of Oracle Application Express, then you must edit the
dads.conf file.
To edit the
dads.conf file:
Using a text editor, open the
dads.conf file for your release:
Oracle Application Server 10g
For example:
$ vi /u01/product/oas/Apache/modplsql/conf/dads.conf
Oracle HTTP Server 11g:
For example:
$ vi /u01/product/oas/ohs/modplsql/conf/dads.conf
Copy the following code text into the
dads.conf file.
In the text, replace the variables
service_name, and
apex_public_user_password with values appropriate for your system. Note that
apex_public_user_password is the password that you defined in the section "Changing the Password for the APEX_PUBLIC_USER Database User".
Alias /i/ "ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME/ohs/images" AddType text/xml xbl AddType text/x-component htc <Location /pls/apex> Order deny,allow PlsqlDocumentPath docs AllowOverride None PlsqlDocumentProcedure wwv_flow_file_mgr.process_download PlsqlDatabaseConnectString host:port:service_name ServiceNameFormat PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8 PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic SetHandler pls_handler PlsqlDocumentTablename wwv_flow_file_objects$ PlsqlDatabaseUsername APEX_PUBLIC_USER PlsqlDefaultPage apex PlsqlDatabasePassword apex_public_user_password Allow from all </Location>

PlsqlNLSLanguage value must be set to
AL32UTF8, regardless of whether or not the database character set is
AL32UTF8. For example:
PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
Save and exit the
dads.conf file.
To stop and restart Oracle HTTP Server, run the following commands:
ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopproc ias-component=HTTP_Server ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startproc ias-component=HTTP_Server
The Oracle Application Express interface is translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. A single instance of Oracle Application Express can be installed with one or more of these translated versions. At runtime, each user's Web browser language settings determine the specific language version.
The translated version of Oracle Application Express should be loaded into a database that has a character set that can support the specific language. If you attempt to install a translated version of Oracle Application Express into a database that does support the character encoding of the language, the installation may fail or the translated Oracle Application Express instance may appear corrupt when run. The database character set
AL32UTF8 supports all the translated versions of Oracle Application Express.
You can manually install translated versions of Oracle Application Express using SQL*Plus. The installation files are encoded in
Note:Regardless of the target database character set, to install a translated version of Oracle Application Express, you must set the character set value of the
NLS_LANG environment variable to
AL32UTF8 prior to starting SQL*Plus.
The following examples illustrate valid
NLS_LANG settings for loading Oracle Application Express translations:
American_America.AL32UTF8 Japanese_Japan.AL32UTF8
Whether you are installing for the first time or upgrading from a previous release, you must run the script
load_lang.sql to run a translated version of Oracle Application Express.
To install a translated version of Oracle Application Express:
Set the
NLS_LANG environment variable, making sure that the character set is
AL32UTF8. For example:
Bourne or Korn Shell
$ NLS_LANG=American_America.AL32UTF8$ export NLS_LANG
C Shell
% setenv NLS_LANG American_America.AL32UTF8
Start SQL*Plus and connect to the target database as
Run the following statement:
Run the appropriate language specific script. For example:
> @load_de.sql
The installation scripts are located in subdirectories identified by a language code in the unzipped distribution
$ORACLE_HOME/apex/builder. For example, the German version is located in
$ORACLE_HOME/apex/builder/de and the Japanese version is located in
$ORACLE_HOME/apex/builder/ja. Within each of these directories, there is a language loading script identified by the language code (for example,
load_de.sql or
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES determines the maximum number of concurrently running jobs. In Oracle Application Express release 3.0, transactional support and SQL scripts require jobs. If
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES is not enabled and working properly, then you cannot successfully run a script.
This section includes the following topics:
You can view the number of number of
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES using one of the following methods:
After installing or upgrading Oracle Application Express to release 3.0, you can view the number of
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES in the installation log files.
You can view the number of
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES on the About Application Express page.To view the About Application Express page:
Log in to Oracle Application Express.
On the Administration list, click About Application Express.
The current number
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES displays at the bottom of the page.
You can view the number of
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES from SQL*Plus by running the following SQL statement:
> SELECT VALUE FROM v$parameter WHERE NAME = 'job_queue_processes'
You can change the number of
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES by running a SQL statement in SQL*Plus, using the following procedure:
Log in to the database as
SYSDBA using SQL*Plus.
In SQL*Plus run the following SQL statement, where the variable
number represents the number of processes you want to set:
> ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES = number
For example, running the statement
ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES = 20 sets
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES to 20.
The parameter
PlsqlDatabasePassword specifies the password for logging in to the database. You can use the utility
dadTool.pl to obfuscate passwords in the
dads.conf file.
You can find the
dadTool.pl utility in the following directory:
This section contains the following topics
In the Oracle Application Express development environment, users log in to a shared work area called a workspace. Users are divided into four primary roles:
Workspace administrators are users who perform administrator tasks specific to a workspace such as managing user accounts, monitoring workspace activity, and viewing log files.
Developers are users who create and edit applications. Developers can have their own workspace or share a workspace.
End users have no development privileges. You define end users so that they can access applications that do not use an external authentication scheme.
Oracle Application Express administrators are superusers that manage an entire hosted instance using the Application Express Administration Services application.
How you set up Oracle Application Express depends upon your user role. If you are a developer accessing a hosted development environment, then an administrator must grant you access to a workspace. If you are an Oracle Application Express administrator, then you must perform the following steps:
Log in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services. Oracle Application Express Administration Services is a separate application for managing an entire Oracle Application Express instance. You log in using the
ADMIN account and password created or reset during the installation process.
Specify a provisioning mode. In Oracle Application Express Administration Services, you need to determine how the process of creating (or provisioning) a workspace will work in your development environment.
Create a Workspace. A workspace is a virtual private database allowing multiple users to work within the same Oracle Application Express installation while keeping their objects, data and applications private. Each workspace has a unique ID and name. An Oracle Application Express administrator can create a workspace manually or have users submit requests.
Log in to a Workspace. Once you create a workspace in Oracle Application Express Administration Services, return to the Oracle Application Express Login page and log in to that workspace.

By default, the ability to interact with network services is disabled in Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1). To use Oracle Application Express with Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1), you need to use the new
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package to grant connect privilege to any host for the

DeSR is a dependency parser for natural language sentences.
Among its notable features:
Suppose you have both the parser and the configuration file in the same directory, you call:
desr -t -m modelFile trainFileto produce a model from a training corpus in CoNLL format.
To parse sentences in CoNLL format, use:
desr -m modelFile parseFile > parsedFile
If you plan to use the downloaded model file, first gunzip it.
For a full list of options, type:
desr -h
Several classifiers are available, including:
Maximum Entropy (-aME), Perceptron (-aAP), MBL (-aMBL) or SVM (-aSVM). The algorithm can also be specified in the configuration file desr.conf as well as the features to be used.
Be careful using option SecondOrder, since it may considerably increase the model size.

You may not know it, but if you are a sports fan, you likely have crossed paths with – and may even want to say thank-you to – Bill Squadron.
At Sportvision, he led the push to use enhanced digital technology to improve the TV viewing experience for fans. Innovations included the Virtual Yellow 1st & Ten line; Pitch f/x, which highlights the flight of a baseball; and Fox Trax, which turns a black hockey puck into a luminescent color and enables viewers to watch its journey and in Nascar where it pinpoints drivers and enhances viewer experience by breaking down in-race stats and information.
Squadron is now overseeing Bloomberg Sports, which in their two-plus years in existence has helped to redefine the business of data analytics for both fans and for teams.
To coincide with the new NFL season, Bloomberg Sports launched "Decision Maker 2011," a Web-based and mobile interactive fantasy football application that uses Bloomberg's analytic tools to advise fantasy football players on their best starting lineup each week.
Squadron, whose resume also includes Commissioner of the NYC Department of Telecommunications under Mayor David Dinkins and currently as the president of OurEnergyPolicy.org., spoke with Big Lead Sports about the growth of data in real and fantasy sports.
Big Lead Sports: What has been the biggest driver for Bloomberg Sports expansion in football and baseball?
Bill Squadron: Most importantly, there continues to be a growing demand and appetite for interesting and valuable data in sports. On the consumer side we learned early on that engagement in the fantasy space is tribal. Whether it works or not, people do the same thing year after year and it is very hard to break that habit. By providing a quality product we were able to start gaining peoples trust and market share, and that has led to our growth.
On the professional side, it is no secret that teams have made huge investments in players and need the best possible tools to evaluate that investment. Advances in technology, especially with the introduction of tablets and the ability to stream high-speed video, has really helped advance the business. Bloomberg is a leader in data analysis, and our tools have shown to be the most adaptable and diverse in the marketplace for teams, and now our video product is proving very popular among players as well.
BLS: What is the biggest lesson the company has learned with regard to the fantasy marketplace?
BS: That quality, ease of use and mobility are key. You have to be able to deliver a diverse product not just to a core fan base but to a casual fan who plays fantasy as well, all at a price that justifies a spend. It can't be too complex and it must deliver on what it says and it must also be mobile in order to stand out. The last key piece is customization – by being the only analytics provider that is integrated with a fantasy player's league, we can make recommendations that are specific to that player, which has proven to be extremely valuable..
BLS: As a startup, albeit with a big brand, what was the biggest surprise you found in the consumer business?
BS: That many people knew the Bloomberg brand with regard to the financial markets, which gave us a big boost, but we also learned very quickly that transfer of loyalty to a new consumer tool around sports still demanded that Bloomberg earn that extended loyalty in sports..
BLS: Bloomberg Sports is the exclusive statistical analytics partner of MLB.com. How many baseball teams are now using your information?
BS: Right now we have 19 MLB clubs using the tools, and a number of Latin American teams. This year we have continued to add new features the teams have suggested and as a result we are continuing to build our customer base. We will keep upgrading the system and providing Bloomberg-level customer support and service, and I believe our customer base will continue to grow.
BLS: The iPad is becoming more of an important tool in sports, and Bloomberg Sports launched a tablet product for players. What does that tell you how important it is for teams to incorporate the latest technology?
BS: It is something we could not have predicted when we started this a few years ago, but it shows how quickly the marketplace has adopted this technology. The product we have been able to deliver to players on their tablets has really been a game changer, because now they can get customized, streaming video to prepare for their next game wherever they are and whenever they want. The video coordinators on the teams do a great job, and our Pitch Review service will allow them to support the players not just in the clubhouse but any time, any place.
BLS: Why did you sign Maurice Jones-Drew (pictured) as a spokesperson for the football "Decision Maker" and would you look to use MLB players as spokespeople?
BS: We try to find partners whose experience aligns well with our products. We have worked with Rick Peterson with our baseball product and it has gone very well because he is so highly regarded for his analytical approach. MJD was a perfect fit for us because of his well-known expertise in fantasy and the time he spends in that space. We also added radio host and fantasy football guru Anita Marks as a spokesperson for football, and she is terrific to work with.
As far as baseball goes next year, we know that players love the product we have created for them, so using players as spokespeople is a possibility, but we will look at that and all options in the offseason.
BLS: When do you see expanding your technology and expertise to other sports?
BS: We have focused on perfecting our baseball and football products and establishing Bloomberg's value to sports professionals and fans, and we are now beginning to look at the next sports to enter. We continue to get great interest from leagues and athletes, both domestically and internationally, eager to explore how we can enhance operations and offer fans fun, interesting products in their sports.
BLS: Can you project what revenue will be at the end of the baseball season and if/when the baseball business will be profitable?
BS: As a private company we don't disclose such figures. But I will say we are very pleased with the subscriber and financial growth from year one to year two in baseball and are very pleased with our numbers for football and expect substantially more football sales since our product is an in-season, sit/start tool. The advance of mobile apps has been huge for us, and we will continue to look at all revenue streams as our business grows.
BLS: Are there other revenue streams – advertising, licensing, promotions – that Bloomberg Sports plans to pursue?
BS: Yes, for sure. These are all potential revenue streams. I would point out that ING Direct is sponsoring our Decision Maker product this season on NFL.com and on mobile devices. We are also looking into the casual gaming experience and fan products as add-ons for baseball, as well as developing additional tools for broadcasters, teams and other entities.
BLS: How has this experience been similar or different to what you did at Sportsvision?
BS: Any time you have a startup, there are challenges, both predicted and unforeseen. It is certainly different having the resources of a great company like Bloomberg behind this effort, where Sportvision was a pure start-up. The most similar thing – and what is most rewarding for me and our team in both places – is breaking new ground, with the yellow line, K Zone and Nascar system at Sportvision, and the next level of data and analytics for professionals and fans here at Bloomberg.

SPRINGFIELD – On Wednesday, State Senator Terry Link (D-Vernon Hills) passed legislation that would expand gaming revenues in the state to help put Illinois' fiscal house back in order.
"We need to be looking at all avenues to shore up our fiscal house," Link said. "A part of that solution should be gaming expansion."
SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Steve Stadelman (D-Rockford) voted today for a measure that will authorize a new casino in Rockford. The measure, part of the Senate's grand bargain, passed 31-26. "I'm tired of seeing buses of Rockford residents going to casinos in Wisconsin and Iowa," Stadelman said. "Those entertainment dollars should be spent in Illinois to help pay for our schools, roads and other improvement projects."
In addition to Rockford, the legislation authorizes new casinos in Chicago, Lake County, South Suburban Chicago, Danville and unincorporated Williamson County.
Stadelman supported similar gambling expansion plans in 2012 and 2013, which were approved by lawmakers but vetoed by Gov. Pat Quinn.
SPRINGFIELD – On Tuesday, State Senator Terry Link (D-Vernon Hills) passed legislation that would expand gaming revenues in the state to help put Illinois' fiscal house back in order.
Senate Bill 7, sponsored by Link, would authorize the building of six new casinos throughout the State of Illinois, including locations in Chicago and Lake County. The proposal will increase revenues for the state and local communities and would also create thousands of part-time and full-time jobs at casinos and racinos across the state.
"It's no secret that our number one issue is our difficult financial situation," Link said. "We need to find multiple ways to shore up our fiscal house and by expanding gaming we can do just that."
The legislation also would allow current riverboats or casinos to expand from 1,200 machines per location to 1,600 machines.
"We lose gaming revenues daily to Indiana and Wisconsin because of the lack of opportunity," Link said. "We should take every step we can to keep that money in Illinois so it can be spent on services provided to Illinois residents."

|Scottsburg Warriorettes defeat New Albany Lady Bulldogs, 70-36
|Written by Marty Randall
|Tuesday, 14 December 2010 00:00
Sporting only one loss on the season, the Scottsburg Warriorettes returned home to avenge last seasons loss to the New Albany Lady Bulldogs. The two teams had a fierce battle a year ago, of which the Warriorettes came out on the losing end thanks to a 40 point performance by New Albany's senior guard. However, with a revamped Scottsburg squad, the Warriorettes rolled to a 70-36 victory.
To begin the game, the Lady Bulldogs looked like they might play spoiler as they began the scoring and pestered the Warriorettes on defense. However, a quick Warriorette run forced a New Albany timeout. Out of the timeout, the Warriorettes picked up the intensity as they forced several Lady Bulldog turnovers began to extend their lead. The Lady Bulldogs hung tough, but excellent transition baskets by the Warriorettes gave Scottsburg the 16-6 lead after one.
The beginning of the second quarter was the Kameron Cole show. The Lady Bulldog poured in several baskets, leading a New Albany comeback as they cut the Warriorette lead to five. Cole's play seemed to inspire her teammates as they began to outhustle the Warriorettes and crash the offensive boards to provide themselves with second chance opportunities. Then Scottsburg freshman Jill Romero did what she has done all season for the Warriorettes, make plays. On two straight possessions, she forced a turnover and took it the other way for easy baskets, giving the Warriorettes life again. The Lady Bulldogs hung around, but by the end of the quarter, they trailed 34-18.
Out of the locker room, the Warriorettes seemed to shift gears. Scottsburg began the quarter on an 8-0 run before a timeout was called. And it wasn't until a New Albany put-back was made that the 13-0 run for the Warriorettes ended. At that point there was no looking back for the Warriorettes as they continued to extend their lead. They had control of the game after three, leading 57-28 and cruised to the victory in the fourth, 70-36.
Darion Hutchinson again led the Warriorettes in scoring with 25, followed by Norton with 16.

Thanks for the positive comments, that shot is about to be a massive canvas on my study wall.
Here's the other shot I had to choose from but didn't select for the wall.
Very observant JR. I have been waiting to go full frame for a year but the Thailand flood delayed the D800 release on me , I really like 16mm (=24 equiv) as a focal length and have been waiting to get that width from my 24-70. Also someone on here (maybe Rich?) once postulated that togs tend to see in one focal length and struggle to see shots outside it, if that's valid then I'm more a telephoto man and have been trying to adapt to see the world wider.
Back in my FSLR days I had a 24mm - Now I also the 16-85 which starts at the equiv of the old 24
and that mostly enough for me - I wouldn't mind something wider - but would not use
it that often.
Nice work by the way

Fabletics Review & $25 Off Coupon – August 2014
Fabletics is a monthly workout clothing subscription – each month they release a new collection and you can pick out any outfit you like (including from previous months). Or you can skip that month.
This subscription has been around for about a year now, and it's one of my all-time favorites. The value and the quality of the clothing are great!
The Subscription Box: Fabletics
The Cost: Starts at $49.95 an outfit
COUPON: Use this link to get your first outfit for only $25!
The Products: Workout clothing and accessories.
Ships to: US only.
Check out all my Fabletics Reviews and the Fitness Subscription Box list too!
This month I decided to go with the Earth outfit ($59.95 with VIP subscriber pricing). (Instead of the Pink Lava Print Legging I went with the Blue version instead).
Oula Tank – Value $24.95
This may be my favorite top from Fabletics yet – the fabric is so smooth, soft and lightweight! FYI – this top is labeled as semi-fitted. When tops are labeled loose-fitted I always size down. I decided to size-down in this top as well and get a medium. It fits great as long as it doesn't shrink!
Salar Legging in Blue Lava Print – Value $59.95
I kind of live in Fabletics leggings, and I love this new print. Like all my other leggings from Fabletics, they are breathable, comfortable, and flattering!
Verdict: I love my outfit pick this month. I think I'm going to buy it in the Pink variation and then get a few other color variations of the Oula tank! Which Fabletics outfit (or outfits) did you pick this month?
