Is there any way to improve performance when the video randomly lags while watching big MKV files? Other than using framedrop (at soft right now) and probably buying more RAM?
Any setting that would make the trick?
I run in an iMac 20" 2.16 GHz with 1 GB of RAM. Sometimes it lags more when I have a game opened, but there are other times that there's nothing else running that it starts randomly lagging.

I'm going to guess here that the RAM is your bottleneck, specifically, the huge amounts of swapfile that you're no doubt generating after running games, other apps, etc. Basically, since you only have one gig of RAM, you'll find that the MacOS will run out rather fast - especially if you do anything related to Rosetta, or intensive games/photo/etc editing apps. The OS starts using HDD space as swapfile/page space, and MacOSX doesn't really like releasing the swapfiles it creates very often. In fact, there're only two ways to really get rid of the swapfile - the first is to reboot, which cleans it all out, the second is to log out and log in, which cleans out the stuff that's not active - which I do via terminal, sometimes, with "sudo killall loginwindow", as if you have it set to auto-login, as I do, it automagically logs you back in again. You can also kill 'windowserver' if you like that better.
Otherwise, if you don't feel like rebooting/logging out, and you do leave the computer on for extended periods of time doing multiple things (*and* if you use apps that leak a lot of RAM... say, Azureus or Transmission, older versions of Firefox, anything Flash on any browser, etc) your only real hope is to close as many things down in the background as you can, turn on hard framedrop (-framedrop) or watch Xvid/etc lower quality files.

How come Mplayer OSX extended doesn't support the apple remote?
Other than that, the player is great but that is a pretty important feature IMO...
When using the remote, it gives me an "Itunes is not running" error, so I downloaded an input.conf from the web and put it where it belongs. And then, the remote just did nothing at all... (I tried moving the keyboard settings around to verify it was in fact reading that file for its settings.)
Then, I tried the same exact input.conf on the latest mplayer SVN build and it worked just fine... In fact, I tried putting the binaries from that SVN build inside the Mplayer OSX extended package and the remote works (But I'm sure some functionality will be lost eventually)
There's something in the way it was compiled that makes it not work with the Apple Remote, I wonder if this could be fixed?

"Workaround" for remotes... and aspect bug...
I 'fix' the problem by using 'Remote Buddy'.. All I did was copy my custom remote settings of MPlayer from *that* program and then point the settings to MPlayer Extendeded's plist [if you use Remote Buddy then you know what I mean].
IMHO you're better off using Remote Buddy or one of the other remote apps so that you can configure your own commands. That's just my opinion, take it for what it is.
I'd rather see the 'aspect ratio setting not sticking' bug fixed.. this one::
PROBLEM: I set the aspect ratio to 4:3, but unlike MPlayer, it does not stick.
1/ In MPE, goto Preferences > Display > Transform > Aspect Ratio, and set to 4:3.
2/ Click Apply, then OK.
RESULT: When you play a movie that's 16:9, it's not transformed to 4:3, but still 16:9... I have to go to the menu and do it manually.
EXPECT: for it to be 'transformed' so that when I 'fullscreen' [4:3] and then 'stretch' [to 16:9] on my LCD, the picture has no bars. This works fine in MPlayer 1.0rc2.

I'd been using andiyar's MPlayer version from a while back perfectly fine, but I got a new computer recently, and now with this version, the videos that I used to play with ease immediately crash the program when I open them. Am I doin it rong?

I've been busy with another project and couldn't get to develop MPlayerOSX Extended.
To track the the issues I created a Trac for the project: http://mplayerosx.sttz.ch/trac/
I've created tickets for all the problems I currently know of and if you have anything else, feel free to open a ticket.
The wiki also contains a documentation of my current build environment for the mplayer binary (and the problems I had).

attempted to load an mkv with soft subs, and the player instantly crashed.

rev6 is buggy on Tiger. See the ticket here: http://mplayerosx.sttz.ch/trac/ticket/3
Either switch to an external video output in preferences or go back to rev5 until the problem is fixed.

I think I found the cause of the lockFocus crash on Tiger.
Could anyone running on Tiger try this version and tell if the internal video output (including fullscreen) is working for them?

Also in revision 6 when i fullscreen with one of the other video output options, the menubar remains in fullscreen. The same occurs for rev 5 for both Quartz/Quicktime and CoreVideo. MPlayer OSX works properly.
Aside: Is there any way to set the hotkeys to skip around a video with (like in VLC), and is there a way to get a seeking bar when in fullscreen?

Oh, sorry, it's a ZIP and not a DMG file. Didn't bother to put it into a proper DMG but then forgot... ^^'
To test it, I used VMWare and I can't go into fullscreen there. So I would appreciate if you could confirm if it's still an issue with this version.
I'll look into it if the menubar still doesn't go away.

It goes into fullscreen fine now, and the menubar disappears as it should, however there is a new problem now, lol.
If you go into fullscreen, then go out of fullscreen, it is impossible to go back into fullscreen without quitting and reopening MPlayer.

Thanks for testing! Glad to hear it now plays some video at least. ^^
How do you enter/exit fullscreen (f, command-f, button, command-1 etc) and do you see anything in the logs (system.log in the console and the ~/Library/Logs/MPlayerOSX.log) when you try to enter fullscreen the second time?

Well i don't know if someone is having the same problem as me, but if i watch a lot of files (say about 10 for example) when i try to close mplayer extended, it just crashes and stays there for a LONG TIME until it closes, or the worst case it just crashes and not even force quit works. also i noticed that when that happens, the dock feels slow (the magnify effect looks like it's lagged). i never had this problem with other builds of mplayer os x. if using the andiyar version it works flawlessly.
Also i've noticed this build "fixed" some problems with fonts on some MKV i had (wrong font being displayed, maybe because it included fontconfig in the package instead of using the one from the system)
EDIT: the problem about the fonts was in comparison of the andiyar build.

Ok, so i thought it was time to update this.
Lately, the problem i talked about didn't appear. I don't know why is it but what has been happening is that mplayer takes like a minute or so to close but it has never hung up like it did before.
My guess is that must be my system, and i'm thinking of reinstalling it completly (got other issues too).
The only thing i noticed is a variable not defined error under console but my guess is that just happens with certain MKVs and not all.
I'll update this after i get a clean install

Your living room is the setting of your next first-person shooter. Or maybe its your front yard. Or your office. It's up to you.
Real Strike is a 3D augmented reality FPS camera app that gets you an array of guns to fire through your iPhone. The app uses the iPhone camera and allows you to "pretend" you're shooting up whatever is in your camera's lens.
This is less a game and more something to fiddle around with, or even make short clips with. Even though it's not a game per se, it does give players 25 different weapons to shoot, with each having realistic sounds and 3D models. You can even examine each weapon close up — pretty neat if you're into guns, I guess!
In the game's trailer, it looks like you can shoot things and have them fall over. I couldn't figure out how to do that — and while it's satisfying to hear the weapons reload and fire, it's all rather anti-climatic. It's like you keep missing. But, I guess it's currently difficult to create AR apps that actually appear to riddle your living room with bullet holes?
Still, it's interesting. My favourite part was Real Strike thermo and night vision. They are software tricks — and, of course, not actual thermo and night vision cameras. But they're pretty good camera tricks! And Real Strike is a pretty good little app.

Hauling things by bike
I had really hoped to have a more spectacular re-launch of CFA2 in time for Curb Your Car Month 08, but it's been way busy on the non-motorized transportation front lately (which is a good thing) and it turns out it's not that easy to find bloggers who are not already blogging. So we'll do the best we can and maybe hope to have lots of new posts in time for World Carfree Day in September.
I'm (finally) prompted to post by an excellent recent Grist article on cargo bikes. Who could resist a title like Haul's Well that Ends Well?
Now, anyone know if anyone in town has an Xtracycle?

The Walrus Says
The Jamestown Arts Center went to the dogs Saturday as five canines showed up to audition for artistic director Mary Wright to play the role of Toto in the Jamestown Community Theatre's upcoming production of "The Wizard of Oz." Five small canines answered the audition call and each was given a half an hour to show his or her abilities with commands and their compatibility with the young lady who will play Dorothy and her understudy. Owners were asked to leave the room.
First up was an 18-month-old white rescue dog of unknown breed named Mia. Owned by Lisa Carlisle, Mia dressed up for the occasion with a purple bandana around her neck. She explored the room, was very calm and demonstrated her ability to sit and stand on her hind legs to receive a treat.
Tessi is also a rescue dog found in the parking lot at a McDonalds in Texas. She is a 18-month-old light brown Norfolk mix, and because of her Texas origin, only accepts tortillas as a treat. Owned by Nora Santamour, Tessi was very relaxed and easily handled by the two Dorothys.
A former resident of a pet store in Warwick, Beau is a 10-month-old white lhasa-poo with black spots. The youngest of those who auditioned, Beau held his own up against the older dogs working easily with the Dorothys. He is owned by Carol Hopkins.
The smallest of the aspiring actors was Ringo, a 1-year-old black and tan Yorkshire terrier owned by Cindy Wolfe. Ringo showed up with a red, white and blue bandana, and after checking out everyone in the hall reacted well with the young human actors.
The last to audition was Maggie, a 3-year-old Chihuahua-schnauzer mix. She is owned by Valerie McLaughlin and was the second smallest of the five. She was fully relaxed and easy to handle. She also tried to ingratiate herself with everyone by giving lots of sloppy kisses.
The dogs selected for the Toto role and the understudy will be announced in next week's column.
Islander Frank Darigan can't remember how long he's been emceeing the yearly talent shows presented by the Jamestown Community Chorus but says it's over 10 years. He'll be on stage again introducing performers at the 22nd edition next Thursday, Aug. 18th, at 7:30 p.m. at the rec center.
Frank says that one of the most gratifying aspects of being emcee is to highlight the talents of the youngsters as he introduces them. "I take the time to learn about them, their schools and interests. It is really great to see the youngsters progress each year as they return and see them progress also through roles in the Jamestown Community Theatre, from early bit players to leads in many cases."
He says that some of the individual acts in the talent shows that he recalls fondly are the late John Biddle's many appearances as Victor Borge, and dancing with his granddaughter. He also remembers the late Bill Karl's appearance as a lounge lizard and the Kathy Brownell follies, which has appeared in every talent show but the first one.
He said, "More recent standouts include the Accidental Sisters and their rendition of 'Hail Holy Queen' a la Whoopie Goldberg; that was a real classic. Also memorable has been watching Aaron Cote progress from a very talented youngster on drums to an accomplished adult musician. This talent show is really unique. It showcases talent in a friendly, nonthreatening environment and brings a lot of joy and satisfaction to our island community."
Auditions for the show will be held on Monday, Aug. 15, and Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 6:30 p.m. at the rec center. Raffle tickets for prizes of $200, $150, $100 and $50 will be sold this weekend outside McQuade's Marketplace and on the sidewalk near Jamestown Hardware. Winners will be announced at the show and they need not be in attendance.
Kathy Westall, Larry Lewis and Debra Vierra Murphy checked in with the answer to last week's poser. Larry wrote, "The Beach Boys' song is 'In My Room.' I had to respond, as I'm seeing Brian Wilson in concert in Clearwater, Fla. Brian was the band's leader, primary songwriter and overall resident genius, easily on a par with the likes of Sir Paul McCartney. Each man greatly admires the other's work. Curiously, they were born two days apart in 1942."
Thanks, Larry.
A PawsWatch summer raffle and feline fundraising program is underway on the island with tickets for the $500 prize available at Island Animal. Tori Hellewell of Island Animal explains what PawsWatch is all about. "PawsWatch provides veterinary care (spay/neuter and vaccinations) to approximately 1,000 cats across Rhode Island. Working with local veterinarians who provide discounted services, volunteers trap feral cats, transport them to veterinary appointments and return them to their familiar habitat where they have food and shelter, and monitor those colonies."
I'm glad the new Fort Getty pavilion will stay where it's always been. Climbing those hills is tough on us old timers.
Do you remember that horse? John A. Murphy writes, "I just read a column in which the SPCA was mentioned, and a memory flashed into my mind of a visit about 60 years ago to the old Providence office of that organization. My father and I were there to adopt a puppy. I remember the man running the office and kennel was sitting at a desk next to a very large stuffed horse. A real horse. Done up fully by a taxidermist. I wonder whether any readers of your column also remember that horse. I wonder what happened to it."
Oh, drinkin beer in a cabaret,
Was I havin fun!
Until one night she caught me right,
And now I'm on the run.
Thanks to Patrolman Ronald Jacobson who promptly responded to my request for an officer to pick up a small stray dog without a collar that was wandering around in my yard. The dog was taken to safe quarters at police headquarters.
Jamestown is one of only three towns mentioned in an item about Little Rhody's long coastline in the Aug. 5 issue of The Week magazine. The article on the travel page read, "... make sure not to skip Jamestown, 'a sailor's dream if there ever were one.'"
I'm thoroughly fed up and ashamed of the politicians in Washington – all of them.
"Project Runway" is back on Thursday evenings at 9.
I'm tired of the number of commercials jammed into five minutes.
Should we now call photographers imagers?
The Jamestown Arts Center will present selections from the Rhode Island Inernational Film Festival tonight and tomorrow night at 8 p.m. Tonight "Dream Giver," a USA animation film, will be shown followed by "Inuk," from France and Greenland. Producers and cast members from Greenland are expected to be in attendance.
Tomorrow night four films will be shown; "Knock Knock" from the USA; "Pom Pom," an animation from France; "Nullarbor," an animation from Australia; and "Sedona," from the USA.
Admission is $10 at the door.
Sunday is V-J Day, commemorating the day the carnage stopped in the Pacific and ending World War II. Some say noting the day isn't politically correct and it offends the Japanese people. Maybe so, but more than 100,000 Americans died and there was a total of 354,000 U.S. casualties in the Pacific. Japan is now a rich nation and one of our close allies. On Sunday, fly the flag and say a prayer for those brave souls who lost their lives in that conflict.
Saturday's full moon is the Sturgeon Moon.
Be true!
Call in your stuff to 829-2760 or 423-0383, or email me at jtnwal email@example.com. Thank you.

Arizona man survives after impaling himself through the head on pool fence
A man in his early 20s was impaled through the head Sunday as he climbed over a pool fence in Mesa, Ariz.
The man, who was not named, fell while climbing over the fence at approximately 3:00 pm local time at an apartment complex in the center of the city, 15 miles east of Phoenix, myFOXphoenix.com reported. He was impaled through the lower jaw.
Witness Katherine Metz told KNXV-TV, "I heard a moan and a scream and I walked outside and saw him there with the [top of the fence] completely in his neck and jaw area.
"His feet were on the ground, but the entire tip and three of the four side barbs were in his neck and jaw. He was spitting up blood and at times it was like his knees were giving out, so I just held his head as much as I could."
Fire crews took 20 minutes to free him, before he was transported to Scottsdale Osborn Hospital for treatment.
The man avoided injuring any vital organs and is expected to recover, authorities said.

Just like the workers toiling thanklessly for Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol, Walmart employees are rewarded for their efforts with insults and disrespect. Walmart's notoriously poor wages and working conditions — designed to squeeze every last dollar of productivity out of its "associates" — mean workers struggle to survive on poverty wages while executives and the Walton family rake in record profits.1
On Black Friday, workers across the country told Walmart loud and clear: enough is enough. Historic protests held at over 1,000 Walmart stores demonstrated the powerful need for real change at the company.2
You and nearly 55,000 ColorOfChange members are helping us take the fight for good jobs to the next level, by demanding that Walmart's Board meet with workers and take immediate steps to improve working conditions. Now, with the holiday shopping season in full swing — and Walmart scrambling to avoid any more negative publicity3 — it's time to further expose America's biggest Scrooge.
Please share this image with your friends and family: show Walmart that we demand respect for all workers.
The odds are stacked against low wage workers — many of whom are Black women. Service sector jobs continue to dominate the post-recession labor market, and they're not going anywhere.4 This is why it's essential we make companies like Walmart a better place to work and shop.
At the end of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge learns the importance of treating people well, and if Walmart ever hopes to be embraced as a good company, it needs to learn the same lesson. Walmart can start by ensuring that its employees work reasonable hours, have adequate health care and can support their families.
Please share this Humbug image to show Walmart workers that you support them and their demands for respect in the workplace. And when you do, please ask your friends and family to do the same.
Thanks and peace,
— Rashad, Matt, Arisha, Aimée, Kim, Johnny and the rest of the ColorOfChange.org team December 21st, 2012

Well, this blog is a result of such impulse. I didn't plan on having a food blog, never thought of having one ever before in my life – although to be honest, I had already been browsing other food blogs for recipes and inspiration. But one day after entertaining some friends in the house, I wanted to take a picture of my husband's creations, thus, the thought of starting my own food blog came to mind… and I acted out on it immediately.
And so, Spice Of Life was born in cyberspace around this time last year. Wow. Time indeed passes by so quickly. This is one of those rare times that my impulse yielded some positive results.
I am truly thankful that I have this blog. Despite the dedication and the hours that it requires, I do love sharing my passion with you. This blog had opened a whole new dimension of culinary exchange for me and have allowed me to meet some of the most talented, creative, fun and kindhearted people from all over the world. Albeit these friendships are virtual, nevertheless I feel that sharing a common love and interest in food and food photography have somehow forged a bond among us.
So, to all those who faithfully visit and for those who are just checking this blog out for the first time – THANK YOU. I do hope you'll continue to come, and I look forward to learning from you in as much as I hope that somehow, I've inspired you to cook your meals at home through this blog.
To celebrate my blog's 1st birthday, I've decided to do a recipe that's from one of the most favorite food blog that I visit regularly – Bea of La Tartine Gourmande. I distinctly remember this particular dish of hers, because I was attracted to its vibrant colors, not to mention that I love Tuna. It is a very pretty and nutritious dish…. and did I tell you that I love tuna? :o)
So to celebrate my bloganniversary, I have created Bea's Mustard-flavored Tuna and Veggie Tartlets. The only minor thing I did to the recipe was to change up the flours. Her's is a gluten-free version but since I have no gluten problem, I decided to use ½ cup wheat flour instead of quinoa, and ½ cup teff instead of millet flour. Thus, my crust came out darker than hers.
This is a very filling but healthy dish. I especially like the fact that you get the crust, tuna, cheese and veggies all in one bite! I'm glad that I tried this. If you want to, check out the recipe here
Bea, I hope that I've done justice to your beautiful creation.
I am also serving this dish to the Lasang Pinoy: Tri-colore. The three colors here being the green from the zucchini, red from the tomatoes and white from the cheese.
Lasang Pinoy (La.Pi.S.) is a weekly thematic food photography meme, Filipino style.

36% of Americans believe in UFOs, that is, though most Unidentified Aerial Phenomena are actually explained as such mundane things as misidentified meteorological phenomena, astronomical phenomena, aircraft, and so on, there's ~ 5% that are as yet unexplained and that these unexplained UFOs are machines from somewhere other than Earth.
Have you ever observed a UFO that has never been sufficiently explained? Do you believe that some unexplained UFOs are machines from somewhere other than Earth? If so, why (what are your reasons or arguments for believing so)? What evidence is there to support your belief?
Views: 951
Right, then. It seems everyone has a working knowledge of high school physics and Relativity and that the speed of light is the speed limit of the universe.
What I'm curious about is Leslie Kean's book UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record.
Actually, I'm not that curious about the book since I've read it. What I am curious about is: what was Michio Kaku doing promoting this book?
Mmmkayyy...no takers?
What do you think about the following quotations from Michio Kaku?
"You simply cannot dismiss the possibility that some of these UFO sightings are actually sightings from some object created by an advanced civilization, a civilization far out in space, a civilization perhaps millions of years ahead of us in technology."
Meh. It took four and a half billion years for intelligence to evolve on Earth and our greatest technological achievement was to land a few people on the moon. But sure, why the hell not?
"In my mind, there is no question that they're out there. My Career is well established. My texts books are required reading in all the major capitals on planet earth. If you want to become a physist to learn about the unified feild theory--you read my books. Therefore, I'm in a position to say: Yes. Most likely they're out there, perhaps even visted, perhaps on our moon."
There it is! Kaku throws his scientific weight around and then says: "I'm in a position to say: Yes. Most likely they're out there, perhaps even visted, perhaps on our moon." Does this seem like a sober, responsible, scientist to you? Bringing to bear his considerable scientific authority to posit his own personal (non-scientific) opinion?
Sadly, we can play the 'what if' card all day plus some, it does not really help without that little pesky point of 'evidence'. The little 'what if' machine in my head thinks that humans just can't be the height of cognitive evolution, and that if I have learned anything, it appears that 'creativity' can sometimes find exceptions to our most commited 'facts'.
If we are always under the fear of 'standing alone', surely, this can put a damper on checking the other limits to knowledge. I have had my 'wow' moments a few times, but are so far mostly mundane observations or insights. Recently, I had this rather nice insight into blood glucose modeling, after remembering that it should be operating under a homeostasis restrant, with a confined number of control variables.
Building space vehicles that can seeming violate relativistic restraints, seems rather hard at present, but is there a 'work around'? I quess after a few classes in calculus, many of us might know that the direct path to a solution is sometimes not the best. Some funky things might be possible, then here we go, dinner on Europa anyone?
I would like to get off this rock, out of this 'box', and more into the universe, but since being born inside this gravity well, I have only lightly nibbled at the gate....
"Building space vehicles that can seeming violate relativistic restraints, seems rather hard at present"
There might be life "out there" such as microbes. There may even be intelligent life out there. Heck, cetaceans might have the intellectual capacity for interstellar travel but it would be rather hard to build an interstellar craft when they can't operate a simple tool like a screwdriver with a fin.
Or Life could be extremely rare according to David S. Spiegel and Edwin L. Turner:
"Just because life emerged early on Earth does not mean that this is likely to occur on other Earth-like planets, says a pair of US astrophysicists. The researchers' new mathematical model says that life could just as easily be rare – putting a damper on the excitement surrounding the recent discovery of Earth-like planets orbiting stars other than the Sun."
Link to above quotation and article: http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2011/aug/01/extraterrestri...
Link to Spiegel, Turner paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.3835
The reason I brought up the topic is: shouldn't we be concerned about what's going on in the scientific community these days? That is, with scientists like Kaku throwing their scientific weight around whilst making unscientific statements.
The popularization of science, does not need to be had by excess compromise. I have watched a few of the Kaku videos, and found a sense of the 'ahh maybe, but details' feeling come up. Like he is turning the sciences into some magical tool of human validation and empowerment, but only trying ignite to idiot fringe in the process.
I do love the fancy CGI effects, but science is still not up to the creation of the 'Star Trek/Star Wars' what-if universe. Going planet to planet, without needing to change your socks before you arive a few times, is still not in the cards any time soon. I have atleast one friend that believes that the 'Star Gate' universe is already alive and well, with secret government folks going on great diplomatic trips, sadly, it all seems a lot like TV. We reach for more than we grasp, but a few more human life times still might be available, if we can keep from being stupid... I have my doubts...
"Secret government folks going on great diplomatic trips"
I really enjoy watching conspiracy theory shows like ancient astronauts and such. I just laugh my ass off.
If you've ever been in the military, had family in the military, lived near a military base, then you know it's impossible to keep anything secret.
"Like he is turning the sciences into some magical tool of human validation and empowerment"
Science IS a tool and nothing more (among many tools humans can use to understand the world around them) but some have elevated science to a religion. To these folks it seems it is a "magical tool of human validation and empowerment," but it's really just magical thinking.
I once suggested, as part of a philosophy program in school, that we create a discussion group to consider some of the beliefs and ideas concerning alien life, UFO's and exobiology. I found no takers.
I have found what appear to be government papers concerning something like this, and in one UFO true-believer tome, even a mention of a military model for an alien invasion. As in many 'invasion' SF films, they seem to make rather clear, that our chances of survival are bleak against an apposing force with the ability of possible interstellar travel and deep space survival.
The classic 'War of the Worlds' theam, with our bacteria saving the planet seems even less likely. Surely an alien race would already know of such things, and have designed counter measures. Again why 'invade' a planet, surely good space engineering might offer better alternatives?
All fun to think about, but I don't have access to unlimited funds or Buck Rogers technology. My wife mentioned to me once, 'you know we never got our jet backs as promised did we? Hun, I think they are on back order!' We can't afford a Prius either....
What do you think about the following quotations from Michio Kaku?
I think he needs to quit taking himself so seriously.
There are around 2,000 insurance policies sold to Americans every year, taking insurance out against being abducted by aliens. I would love to see that claim form, with its accompanying proof.
Just as with God, if extraterrestrials are on earth, why the secrecy. There are many explanations posited for why the big news must be kept secret. None of them are plausible to me.
I do, on the other hand, have a connection with one of the better-documented UFO sightings EVER - called
Kaikoura lights. Lots of witnesses - tracked on radar.
My good friend, a TV reporter, was on board the return flight and witnessed and filmed these "vehicles". "So what's up", I asked him the next day after listening to the official explanations (Venus, etc.). All he could say was, "Mike, there was something up there". WTF?
Wow. Your mind is open, isn't it? The people who CLAIM to have seen these MULTIPLE objects on radar were the Wellington Air Traffic Controllers AND the plane's own radar equipment. Perhaps you're not familiar with how radar works. It does NOT register the light from spotlights.
If you say you can explain this with those weak assumptions, you are more guilty of inventing facts to suit your perspective than people who claim to have been abducted.
The film, of course, sucked - except for a few frames that appeared show real shape. Outside of that, they were just dancing lights.
The MAIN evidence is from MANY reliable, level-headed, and trustworthy eye witnesses - including air traffic controllers. And my friend is no fool.
The fact is that this is one of the most, if not THE most well-document UFO sighting in history. No one (but you) claims to know what they were. I personally have NO trouble labelling this UNEXPLAINED.
Another interesting factoid is that Kaikoura is the home of a pod of humpback whales. The aircraft's path shown in the film, is wrong. The plane was actually flying inland of Kaikoura. The objects were, indeed, recorded as being off the Kaikoura coast, to the plane's right, and the activity of the objects seemed to be centred near where these whales are usually seen. That's my own observation.
The clip above, BTW, was a dramatization made later with real footage inserted. One discrepancy I noticed was when the film, while trying to point out the discrepancies in the Venus explanation, said that the sightings were taken "a half and hour before Venus could have been visible". In fact, Venus is NEVER visible in the middle of the night.

It wasn't until a good friend started raving about orthodoxy had i ever heard of it apart from Greek or Russian Orthodox, which i just thought was similar to our C of E. I never twigged it was another religion completely and in charismatic circles, i'd never heard it discussed as an option before now. Is that quite common or am i just thick? Whenever we studied <and i use that term loosely> the origins of Christianity, Orthodoxy was never mentioned. Was it always known as this way back when in England?

The 2011 Budget adopted by the Library Board on December 16, 2010 allows the Library to continue to offer open hours and services for our patrons at all locations in the face of an extremely challenging budget and fiscal environment.
Click here to view the 2011 Adopted Budget (PDF)
Erie County's budget process, completed on Tuesday December 14, 2010, resulted in county support (Library Tax and Interfund Subsidy) being reduced $4.75 million (21%) from the 2010 adopted budget amounts. The Library Tax Levy is reduced 18%, from 2010's $22,171,833 to $18,171,833, a level below that received by the Library in 1993. Combining this loss with reductions in state aid, increasing costs and a shortfall carried over from a 2008 restoration that was not continued in successive year budgets, results in a total recurring budget shortfall nearing $7 million. Restructuring library services to this lower funding level would result in major curtailment in access to public library service, with reduced open hours system-wide and the loss of over 100 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. Libraries in 17 communities would not meet New York State minimum standards for weekly open hours.
However, at the time the Library Board adopted its 2011 budget, the County was considering a proposal supported by the County Executive to provide $3 million in one-time funding to allow the library, in 2011, to retain most of the open hours that would have otherwise been eliminated, preserving an estimated 65-70 FTE positions. This proposal, announced on December 12, 2010, was adopted by a 15-0 vote of the Erie County Legislature on December 23, 2010.
While not a permanent solution, this funding would allow all communities to meet or exceed New York State minimum standards for minimum weekly open hours in 2011.
Maintaining access to public libraries is particularly needed by residents facing the challenges of coping with a struggling local and national economy who have increasingly turned to their public libraries for assistance, resulting in large increases in projected 2010 library use: visits rising 12%, circulation rising 12%, and public access computer use rising 92% across the System vs. 2007 pre-recessionary levels.
Final confirmation and allocation of the $3 million one-time funding is still pending; therefore, two options were presented for Library Board consideration and budget adoption. The Board voted to adopt Option A which is described below and in the attached "Proposed Weekly Open Hours" chart.
OPTION A – Assume $18.17 million Library Property Tax plus $3 million Supplement in Adopted Budget (Adopted)
- Effective January 1, 2011 adopt 2011 Restored Open Hours proposed – (per attached chart)
- Central Library/Grosvenor Room – Central Library: 59 (64 including Sundays) Grosvenor Room: 50 (55 including Sundays)
- Layoff effective February 2, 2011
If $3 million supplement is not confirmed:
- Service Hours reduced to Reduction Scenario presented at October 2010 Board of Trustees meeting
- Additional Layoffs effective March 2, 2011
- Determine use of fund balance for system services/Central Library
A summary schedule of recommended budget balancing changes by account is presented as part of Resolution 2010-40.

Quick Look: Garmin Vector power meter and Edge 200
Quick Look: Garmin ready to deliver its pedal-based power meter next spring; plus a quick review of the new Edge 200 computer
A year after acquiring power meter startup company MetriGear, Garmin has announced details of the production-ready Vector pedal-based power meter.
The new meter will be compatible with Garmin's Edge 500 and Edge 800 GPS computers. Availability is set for March 2012 and price will be $1,500, placing it squarely in the middle of power meters currently available.
The Vector will be easily swappable between bikes, as quickly as swapping any other pedal. A four-sided array of strain gauges sits inside each pedal spindle, with data sent via the ANT+ protocol from the external transmitter to a head unit on the handlebars. The external transmitter is clamped in place by the pedal itself, in between the axle and the crank arm. The pedal itself is a Look KéO-compatible platform built by Exustar for Garmin.
The transmitter sits perpendicular to the crank arm, meaning that during a pedal strike or crash it is protected by the shoe, pedal body , and crank arm itself.
By reading power out of each pedal, left and right side power output can be analyzed independently, in addition to viewing total power output.
The Edge 200
The new Edge 200 is a trimmed-down version of the Edge 500, priced down to $150. In the words of Garmin's Justin McCarthy: "The goal was to make a computer that was super simple and would not overwhelm someone simply looking for speed, distance and time, all with GPS. It is for the user who wants to get on the bike and ride, see where they went and how far and fast."
The 200 loses ANT+ compatibility, which means no power or heart rate strap data. It does give you speed, distance, time, and calories, and is still downloadable to Garmin Connect.
It requires no extra sensors, just strap it on and go. Everything is calculated with the GPS signal.
I used the 200 at the Leadville Trail 100 and had zero problems. The interface is unbelievably easy and intuitive even when deep in oxygen debt, and I never lost signal throughout the entire race. The mount is solid and the unit adds minimal weight. I had to wipe dust off the screen numerous times, but once cleared the digits are plenty big enough to read while riding.
I was a bit peeved when the computer showed 100 miles ridden and I still wasn't finished, until I realized that the Leadville organizers aren't very nice and the race is actually 103. Not sure I can blame that one on Garmin, though.

The D800 or D800E should be a terrific solution to your problem. Optically I'm not sure a Zeiss Makro would add a great deal over a similar focal length Micro-Nikkor once you've stopped down to the f/5.6 to f/11 range. However for very precise manual focusing the Zeiss lenses have a definitive edge over the autofocus Nikkors.Live view should not be discounted for very precise manual focusing.
How would you describe the usability of live view on the D800?
I am currently using a Sony a850 and Sony 50mm f/2.8 macro lens. I used to use a Hasselblad CF39 multi-shot rig with Scneider glass, so I have first-hand experience with the best equipment available. However, My biggest beef against the Sony system is that the Sony 50mm f/2.8 has some distortion issues (it is sharp) and that it is not practical to shoot tethered with the Sony. I am wondering if it would be smart or stupid to migrate to a Nikon D800 and get a Zeiss macro lens--or get a Zeiss macro for the Sony and wait and see what kind of FF body Sony introduces in 2014.Live view would be a great option, but it is not totally necessary. I do not want to go down the medium format road again.Any thoughts would be appreciated, especially from those that do copy work professionally.
An alternative to working tethered is to use the new CamRanger system and control the camera from an iPhone, iPad or (now in beta) MAc OS computer. I understand that they are working on Android and Windows 8 software as well. http://www.camranger.com
Ellis,I looked at their web site and the linked demo on utube. The unit looks very interesting. It is not inexpensive, but for what it does it looks very reasonable. Have you used it? I do see that they have return privileges for a small restocking fee.Does anyone have experience with this device?Regards,Bill
I have been using one for about a month now with a 1D X. So far I am very happy with it so far. The best range I've gotten indoors (in a building with lots of metal and electronics including other wireless networks and devices of various sorts) is roughly 50 yards. This was with an iPhone 4 as controller. That was as far as I could get from the camera/receiver. It is possible the maximum range may be greater. Recently I learned that if you turn off the histogram , the Live View refreshes faster. One thing I've been a little baffled with is that you apparently cannot change modes (Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual. etc.) remotely. There is a new firmware update that I am about to install and that may be addressed. I'll be trying it over the next week or so with a Nikon D800.
There are no Zeiss Macros for Sony (yet), they are all Sony/Minolta designs.Can you describe the distortion? I use that lens a lot on APS-C with good results. Of course I am not doing rectilinear copies. Mild barreling? Pincussion? Some other aberration?

Recently the platform debug team has been working on a new idea for debug-view-less debugging. We have come up with the idea of a top-level toolbar for the common debug commands; so (in theory) you can debug with needing the debug view front and center of your current perspective. The new toolbar can be activated from within the debug view using the View Menu > Debug Toolbar menu item.
The root Eclipse bug for the enhancement is bug 258767
We have already found lots of room for improvement:
bug 359151, bug 264485, bug 360172, bug 360636 and bug 360637
So for all those interested in the debug-view-less debugging idea, please spend some time and try out the new toolbar, just remember to file bugs!
The toolbar look and feel:

CRESTVIEW � It's not hard to guess local artist Deni K.'s choice subject matter. The Crestview Public Library's exhibit wall is currently a menagerie of animal life in her first public exhibit, "A Walk on the Wild Side."
CRESTVIEW � It's not hard to guess local artist Deni K.'s choice subject matter. The Crestview Public Library's exhibit wall is currently a menagerie of animal life.
Deni, who doesn't use her last name, is exhibiting her first exhibit, "A Walk on the Wild Side."
One of the most captivating details of Deni's animal paintings are the creatures' eyes. She painted the eyes of some of the wolf paintings on display with glow-in-the-dark paint.
Reference librarian Sandra Dreaden said the effect is wonderfully eerie when she and her colleagues turn off the library lights at the end of the day.
"It's like the animals are peering out of the darkness, watching you," Dreaden said.
Deni praised local art instructors who helped develop her talent. Those include Carolyn Stewart, who once had a Crestview studio, and teachers at the Journey Java Connection on Main Street and Artful Things in Niceville.
Deni hopes she can inspire other "closet artists," as she calls those who paint for fun but don't want to exhibit their art.
"There are a lot of closet painters out there who are a thousand times better than I am, but they keep their art in the closet," Deni said. "I hope I can challenge them to come out of the closet and share their art."
The library is offering two opportunities to acquire one of Deni's works. A warm Christmas candle painting is being raffled for $1 per ticket, with all proceeds benefiting the library book fund.
At the Dec. 3 First Tuesday lecture, presented by the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge, an attendee will win a painting of a wise owl.
