Panasonic puts 43mm F1.2 portrait lens and 150mm F2.8 on lens roadmap
CP+ 2013: Panasonic has added a 42.5mm F1.2 portrait lens and 150mm F2.8 super-telephoto prime to its lens roadmap for Micro Four Thirds, for release in the near future. The lenses, shown in prototype form at Photokina 2012, last September, are shown as being ready for release just after the 14-42mm II ASPH. kit zoom launched this week.
The roadmap indicates the lenses should be expected near the beginning of 2013. We'll ask for further information when we speak to Panasonic, later today.
|The 42.5mm F1.2 will offer a 90mm equivalent portrait lens with depth of field equivalent to an 85mm F2.4 on full-frame.
|The 150mm F2.8 offers a fast 300mm equivalent option for sports and wildlife shooters.
The two lenses on the roadmap aren't the only new optics on show - Panasonic also has plenty of examples of its 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II ASPH. Mega OIS on its stand. Nearly 25% shorter, it is small and light, and has a rather un-damped feel to the zoom ring, consistent with its lowly status in the company's lens lineup
Panasonic is also showing-off the recently launched DMC-ZS30 (TZ40 in Europe) with NFC capability. NFC (Near Field Communication) allows you to tap the phone against a compatible smartphone and that transfers all the information the phone needs to agree a Wi-Fi connection, making it quick and easy to do

I see that the DoF-Gestapo really takes m4/3 as a serious threat now. Al this deliberately wrong calculations are just so funny.
I read as far as your article touting "Less blur!" as a purely positive consequence of smaller sensors when talking about bokeh. Then I stopped, because it was obvious that they had no idea what photography is to those who take photos for aesthetic value.
Why it doesn't matter. Christ. As though the price difference between a $500 dollar 25/1.4 and its full frame equivalent, a 50/2.8 - which no one seems to make because it's so inexpensive they'd make no money on it (yes there are 2.8 macros, but good luck finding a 25/1.4 macro) - matters to anyone in the real world. And the option of having a $350 50/1.4 equivalent with 4/3? Nope.
Just to bang that home... Nope.
What puzzles me is why they've only discovered these theories after micro 4/3 became a steady format. Crop sensors have been there for quite a while and no one seemed to care about equivalent aperture BS then. I wonder why.
"but good luck finding a 25/1.4 macro"
LOL. Ever seen a crowing duck? quacking chicken? Have you EVER shot macro??? Apparently not, because then you would have known why there are no f/1.4 macro lenses.
Has Metabones set some fire to Panasonic feet? Finally, they are starting to get that people want faster lenses. The 85mm f/2.4 and 300mm f/5.6 equivalent lenses are getting closer to FF standards, provided they didn't sacrifice image quality.
actually their current business is based mostly on the cheating by the makers and misunderstanding by the users.
Curious, How do you arrive at those equivalent F stops?
@ attomole:
m4/3 is roughly a 2x crop from 24x36mm, so for equivalent depth of field with the same framing:
1.2 x 2 = 2.4
2.8 x 2 = 5.6
actually, there is nothing we can find in the output image that is controlled by aperture and not the same as f/2.4 on 35mm-format. nothing unless someone can break the laws of physics.
it's very simple because the apertures are the same,
42.5/1.2 = 85/2.4 = 35.4mm
85mm equivalent f1.2. Not too shabby at all. (I'm not sure why people are having a hard time with the 42.5x2 math.)
150mm f2.8 could be a killer sports lens if the focus can keep up. Not sure who else really needs a lens that long and fast (and probably expensive).
can 150mm f/2.8 do any better job than a 294mm f/5.5 on 35mm format? physically impossible.
The equivalence is to an 85mm f/2.4.
Depending on the optical quality, price and weight, I may get this to replace the Olympus 45mm f/1.8.
Sorry, I meant to say it was 55mm f1.5 equivalent since I shoot APS-C.
All of you must shoot FF now, I guess, because that's all you seem to concern yourself with when 4/3 lenses come out.
The equivalence is to an 85mm f1.2 lens, not f/2.4. It's still the amount of light that's coming through that aperture.
It's only considered f/2.4 when dealing with depth-of-field equivalence, not low-light performance. Why is everyone having a hard time with this?
The reason that people are only really interested in the depth of field equivalence, is this is why you'd want a fast portrait lens in the first place. In terms of getting more light, this is balanced out through the noise level and ISO performance being better with a larger sensor (of the same generation). I'm not even sure this would get more light, as the smaller opening might actually let in less at a time.
So it's advantage is mostly within the m4/3 framework, where it may be one of the best for portraits with autofocus. Also, m4/3 lenses are generally fine to use wide-open, whilst full-frame ones benefit from closing down a stop or two, so you get some advantage there.
All that said, I think if people are going to say the equivalent angle of view, they may as well convert the DOF as well, as that way people better know what they are buying.
The aperture is the same though as is the exposure for m4/3. When hand-held metering, you still meter and set the camera shutter speed, aperture and ISO the same. You don't go "oh, wait, must add two more stops of light to this because it's m4/3".
a 150mm f/2.8 FourThirds is a 294mm f/5.5 equivalent on 35mm format. compared with Canon and Nikon 300mm f/4 ones, this lens should worth about 750 dollars.
Considering Sigma's 150/2.8 is $1100 and the least expensive 300mm SLR lens is $1300, I can hardly see where you get your $750 price.
Even if it were priced this way, which $750 300mm f4 primes are you comparing to? Pentax, Canon and Nikon 300mm f4 lenses are $1400 new. I'd expect at least the same price if not more.
Canon 200 f/2.8 $750 or so. Sigma is $1100 because it's a macro lens with OS, the non OS version is much cheaper.
> Sigma's 150/2.8 is $1100
that's a 230mm f/4.3 equivalent on 35mm format and is well over piced compared with Canon and Nikon 300/4's if we ignore the differences in AOV.
the Canon and Nikon ones are old but they still perform reasonably well. there is no hint that the Pana one will perform better, yet.
Dont be silly. You have this all messed up, the lens isnt equivalent in the same way you suggest as your final result would have a light intensity 2 stops lower than the lens you equate it to... So juding by your methods because the noise and DR of the body we just slapped that lens on now performs like a $1000 OMD, the 5Dm111 is no way worth $3000, it should cost $1000, or in fact it has the same performance of the EPL5, so it should cost $600...
Inst equivalence fun, boy are those FF cameras expensive.
it's the lens. have nothing to do with camera body. just kindly search "Speed Booster" and do some study will solve your problem.
a 43mm f/0.91 lens for 4/3" will do the same job and worth the same money as a 85/1.8 on 35mm-format.
A 150mm f2.8 on a m4/3 is equivalent to 300mm f2.8
The f stop is irrelevant to the form factor.
You are still missing the point, you are comparing a lens to a fictional one and deciding pricing... okay so the 50mm f1.2 is $1600 and the 43mm f1.2 should only be $100... but wait when I put the 50mm f1.2 on my m43rds body it is really only like a 100mm f2.5 on FF, so that lens should cost about $500...
Your logic shows a lack of understanding about the application of equivalence. So using your terrible logic, I fell the 50mm f1.2 is worth about $500, and the 5Dm111 is worth about $600.
you may want to do an experiment mounting a 50/1.2 lens on a 4/3" body through a 'Speed Booster' adapter.
if Pana mind to make a 25/0.6, it will definitely worth more than a grand and I would like to have one, too.
a 42.5mm f/1.2 FourThirds is a 83mm f/2.4 equivalent on 35mm format (bring you every result the same) and thus worth about 60% of popular 85/1.8 ones, about 300 dollars compared with Nikon G.
You seems to be using used prices of antique DSLR lenses as a basis for price on newly designed compact lenses.
It will probably be priced with a premium, but your logic is flawed. Not everyone has the same "equivalent value" you suggest...
I don't mind if you call 85/1.8G an antique lens. old or new, it's performance, the value that the lens can bring us that's important.
and I don't mind if newly designed lenses fail.
for buyers, knowledge is power, and lack of is power to the makers.
A 42.5mm f1.2 on a m4/3 is equivalent to 85mm f1.2
The f stop is irrelevant to the form factor.
there is nothing that's controlled by aperture in the output image can be the same at the same f-number.
name it if you happen to know one.
Just trying to be clear here.
I set my 5D3 at ISO100 with a shutter speed of 1/100 and 50mm lens on it at f/1.2 for a scene. Then I do the same with my GX1 and the new f/1.2 lens. Are you saying that GX1 picture will be underexposed compared to 5D3 picture? In other words, will I need to use a slower shutter speed to get the same exposure as 5D3?
85mm f1.8 G is $500, not $300.
You are pulling these prices out of 20 years ago.
Some folks here cannot even calculate correctly. The f-stop equivalent only applies to the DOV of a crop lens, not to the f-stop itself as the counterpart to the exposure time.
You have no knowledge of power. Value is in the eye of the beholder. For you, you won't purchase either of these lenses because you don't perceive their value. For those of us who are involved in the system - these lenses fill holes in the lens lineup - to us the value is different. It is obvious that you have little understanding of the trade offs that are inherent with different systems. Equivalence is largely irrelevant. Stop calculating and go shoot a crop sensor camera - you might actually start to understand why folks are switching to them.
> 85mm f1.8 G is $500, not $300.
exactly. since this is a 83mm f/2.4 equivalent, not f/1.8, it has less value than 85/1.8G thus 300 US.
Yabokkie, just tell me what the heck is wrong with you now.
A 42,5mm F/1.2 m43 lens is just what is says there, a F/1.2 lens, with the same field of view on a m43 camera as a 85 mm FF lens has on a FF camera. So far so good? And it's a F/1.2 lens which ever way you try to go around it. It's still a F/1.2 lens. You don't believe?
Let's see. If you have a 85mm F/1.2 FF lens and you shoot with it at F/1.2, and then you take this 85mm FF equivalent 42,5mm m43 lens. What do you do then to make the correct exposure? That's right. You shoot it at the same F/1.2. The exposure time also has to be just the same, when you shoot both cameras with the same ISO. Get it yabokkie?
I think they designed they designed the 150mm f/2.8 in hopes that someone will manufacture a coffee mug after it. Looking forward to sipping on my new panny 150mm metal thermos :)
I'd like to see Panasonic get rid of the ribbed, knurled focus ring. They are dust magnets. In three days, my new PL 25 1.4 had so much lint on the focus ring, it looked like a used lens. Even the 42.5 1.2 prototype seems covered in lint. The tight ribbing of the AF ring just collects it.
I have a feeling this lens will be very sharp at 1.2 and be priced to match.
For exposure and focal length - M43's 42.5 f1.2 = FF 85 f1.2
For DOF - M43's 42.5 f1.2 = FF 85 f2.4.
Same settings gives same exp but shallower DOF with FF.
It's that simple... I think???
I for one like the deeper DOF, sure it takes more skill to get a good shot when you can't blur out everything else but in low light I can shoot wide open and have more DOF to work with. Bottom line is there are times when both can be used to your advantage and we all have to work within the limitations of the system we have.
why should we put the f-number in focal length comparison and focal length in f-number one?
this lens got the same AOV as an 83mm and
this lens got the same aperture as an f/2.4 one on 35mm format.
an f/2.4 equivalent in every respect that the aperture can do you on the output image. everything including light level (on the whole sensor, and the resulted SNR), DOF, diffraction, ... you name it and there is nothing left behind.
yabokkie. If you don't want white photos, you'll use the exposure settings for an f1.2 f-ratio.
You (Mike Ronesia) are cetainly right.
f1.2 is f1.2 as far as exposure is concerned.
DOF is increased due to the shorter focal length.
> f1.2 is f1.2 as far as exposure is concerned.
only that exposure will give you no same image quality.
yobokkie .. you right mate .. IQ will be argueably better on m43, as its easier to create sharper (edge to edge) lens for a smaller sensor, lighter elements or smaller diameters. Pany Leica and Oly are renouned for lens making art!
85mm at f2.4 is a pretty limited depth of field on 1:35 format. (as is 42.5 at f1.2 with m43)
yabokkie is either a troll or a very dense headed person
Yabokkie unrules!
Looks like the 35-100 sold well enough for Panasonic to greenlight the 150mm f2.8. Hope this keeps up, m4/3 is shaping up to be a thriving standard.
Not quite the same because of the smaller format, but Nikon beat Panasonic to this large aperture lens with the 35 1.2 N coated portrait lens announcement last week.
I'm guessing the Panasonic f1.2 lens will cost close to $1000, which I guess is OK if you need the speed and shallow DOF, but prices in m43 lenses are going a bit crazy in recent times. It's becoming a bit of a luxury, boutique format in terms of prices.
"Nikon beat Panasonic to this large aperture ..."
I didn't realise there was some race going on.
Who came third?
"...prices in m43 lenses are going a bit crazy..."
Have to agree with you there - generally, anyway. The M. Zuiko 12/2.0 and 17/1.8 lenses are clearly overpriced. There is some reasonably priced glass around though - the 45/1.8 and 40-150 ED spring to mind, and the 25/1.4 can justify its price.
The camera industry is all one big race to innovate and win market share.
As far as m43 prices, yes the 25 f/1.4 is such a good, fast, useful lens, it's price can be justified. Some of the others, not so much. The two f2.8 zooms from Panasonic, really set a dangerous precedent for future prices. I don't think smaller format zooms should ever be priced similarly to professional FF zooms and the 2 Pany f2.8 zooms approach that high grade pro optic price point.
I also think the f2.8 zooms are a bit overpriced but not because of the smaller sensor. I think they are overpriced because they aren't as good optically as their full-frame equivalents. The Panasonic-Leica 25/1.4 is priced a bit higher than a Canikon 50/1.4 but can justify the premium by its optical quality. The two f2.8 zooms aren't quite good enough to match Canikon professional zooms. It will be interesting to see what Olympus brings to the table.
NZ Scott?? on what basis you think f2.8 is inferior in optics than Canikon f2.8?
@NZ Scott I agree about the f2.8 zooms. Aside from optical quality, it's always cheaper to manufacture lenses to cover smaller format sensors, and for build quality, the 2.8 Pany lenses are not on par with high end pro lenses from Canon or Nikon. The 70-200 f/2.8G VRII has a metal barrel, tripod collar, is internal focus, and doesn't change lengths when zooming. I get that the Panasonic 35-100 is a bit less expensive but it should be considerably less expensive.
A few months ago I had a Pentax K-30, and planned to buy the excellent 35-150 2.8 (an APS-C lens). A week later Pentax raised the price of that lens from $899 to $1599. I sold my K-30 and lenses the next day.
IMHO, APS-C and m43 lenses should rarely be priced the same as FF lenses except in special cases. Panasonic (like Pentax) thinks because the 2 zooms are f/2.8 they can charge as much a high end FF f/2.8 zooms. I don't agree and refuse to play that game because someone decided same aperture = same price.
Put another way: pics or it didn't happen. Lets see some side by side shots that clearly illustrate this. We are talking about photography, are we not? Isn't that about the final images?
All this talk of full frame depth of field equivalent and the like... But how does it compare to my phone's camera? Yawn.
I'd rather these lenses be announced by Tamron / Sigma
because I know Panny will price them outrageously
Don't even dream that the 42.5 f1.2 will be comparable to Canon's 85L...
I presume we don't shoot at F1.2 to bump up the shutter speed, we shoot at F1.2 to destroy the background.
One more thing, the 150 F2.8 looks hideous.
Yes, the Olympus 150mm F2.8 might be christened 'the Beer Mug' after the Minolta lens they called 'the Beer Can.'
The MSRP price is always the starting point. If enough people don't like it, the price drops.
If people like it (as I suspect they will) they will get good revenue for it. The reward of making a desirable product.
What the hell does un-damped mean??
It lacks the smooth (slight resistance) focusing rotation that we used to get when using manual focusing lenses in the the 1970s...
The lack of dampening means that a low powered AF motor can actually focus the lens and do so fairly quickly. fast AF and smooth MF are at odds. .
It means they complety dried it out from the flooding. A lot of lens got very damp from that and so we are all concerned if it is reallt dry or not.
So "un-damped" means that yes it was wet and now it is dry.
If it is a "dampened" lens then this means you probably should not buy it and you might ask why it was dampened.
Hope this helps.
It means it doesn't stop smoothly when you stop turning it. No (or little) resistance to turning.
@photo nuts
The fact is that kayone was not correct in his assertion. You being a sheep, jumped on the bandwagon and are now criticizing the author for something that he did actually get right.
You can apologize at any time.
How so, Kayone was right. Use a depth of field calculator to prove it to yourself if you wish.
Of course f/1.4 will expose the same always, but you won't get equivalent images shooting at f/1.4 on full frame vs same framing and perspective on m4/3. You have to multiply the aperture by the crop ratio to get the effective aperture. So effectively a 42.5mm f/1.2 on m4/3 will be nearly identical to an 85mm f/2.4 on full frame. I.e. the lenses would serve the same function. Unless you make some trade off the image quality would be about the same between them. I.e. trade longer shutter speed for lower ISO on the full frame, or shallower depth of field for faster shutter speed or lower noise, etc.
I really urge you to apologize yourself, Chekr. Please. Your ill-conceived comments are embarrassing for humanity. I know that this sounds mean, but your comments are so baseless and rude that I don't know how else to respond.
Which will end first? Humanity or Equivalency debates?
@checkr: Again did you actually read the dpreview text at which Kayone commented? dpreview says "depth of field equivalent to an 90mm F4 on full-frame". Which is wrong no matter which camp do you belong to in the equivalence debate.
No, not criticizing; grazing.
Panasonic is doing some pretty awesome work with the m4/3 lenses.
Awesome stuff!
I wonder if Leica is still their silent partner?
If this was a Leica "design" Panasonic would be promoting it up the wazoo and charge twice the price. Similar to the price for the 25mm f1.4 lens compared to the FF equivalents when it 1st came out ($600).
That they are. Though I hope that the 150mm 2.8 has OIS and is weather resistant.
Math is wrong on the 42.5 caption, should be an 85mm f 2.4 equivalent
The math is not wrong, you are wrong.
Aperture determines two factors, depth of field and exposure. In exposure f1.4 on a crop sensor is f1.4 as it is on a full frame. It is not at all relative to the sensor. Depth of Field is relative and and therefore you can say that the depth of field has an equivalence at play.
Is 90mm what you usually get when you double 42.5, Chekr?
42.5mm f/1.2 on 2x crop factor is equivalent to 85mm f/2.4 on a full frame (assuming they were both 4x3, there is a slight difference due to the different crop ratios, but only a few percent. Check a depth of field calculator, checking a 43mm f/1.2 it is very close to an 85mm f/2.4 at the same subject distance. For all practical purposes if you stood in the same spot, shot the same subject, had the same framing, used 42.5mm at 1.2mm ISO 100 on an m4/3, you would get a nearly identical image to a full frame sensor at 85mm at f/2.4, ISO 400. For all practical purposes these would be the same (given both lenses performed at an adequate level).
re-read the comment, I am referring to the aperture calculation, no mention of FL
As i said aperture ratios are used to measure two things, exposure and DOF. You only do an equivalence equation when calculating DOF, not exposure. DOF is relative to your FL, crop and aperture so using just an f ratio to measure it is plain silly anyway.
f1.2 is 1.2 is 1.2
I did you said "The math is not wrong, you are wrong." when the OP math is just fine. Effectively the aperture of the 42.5mm is 2.4 if you convert it to full frame terms. Just as focal length doesn't change when you convert to effective focal length, the aperture doesn't really equal f/2.4, but it is equivalent to f/2.4 on a full frame at the equivalent focal length.
You are right, 1.2 is 1.2, just as 42.5mm is 42.5mm, the physical values don't change, but if you convert the focal length to full frame terms you need to convert the aperture too.
Well, they specified DOF equivalent, not exposure, on their caption. Context matters.
Viking79. Depends what you're trying to do and what you consider important.
OK well you have no experience using a light meter to set exposure times, that is quite clear. If you had you would have learnt this lesson in practice.
Let me repeat it for you as you are clearly thick. Aperture is used for calculating the light gathering area relative to the focal length of the lens, it has nothing to do with your sensor size. If you want to learn how to properly measure DOF, there are much more things to take into consideration than just aperture http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html
Aperture affects two aspects of your photograph and you are ignoring one of them. Dont say that aperture is equivalent because that only applies to DOF and not to area of exposure.
Or just keep on acting like a n00b and keep on doing what you're doing.
This would be so much easier if you two would stop equivocating and specify DOF equivalence or exposure.
@Chekr - have you actually read what the original comment was about? Dpreview article says " depth of field equivalent to an 90mm F4 on full-frame". They are talking about DOF not exposure, and have made a calculation error while coming up with the FF equivalent for DOF - I hope you would agree that there is no interpretation under which this lens becomes an F4 equivalent.
"For all practical purposes if you stood in the same spot, shot the same subject, had the same framing, used 42.5mm at 1.2mm ISO 100 on an m4/3, you would get a nearly identical image to a full frame sensor at 85mm at f/2.4, ISO 400."
One more question:
Why did you put ISO 400 on a full frame sensor and ISO 100 on a m4/3, when that m4/3 is already shot with two stops wider aperture at f/1.2 compared to the full frame f/2.4?
Rage Joe: This way, for the same scene illumination, you'll get the same shutter speed. Because the actual apertures (diaphragm diameter) are 42.5/1.2=35.4mm and 85/2.4=35.4mm, that is identical, the total light on the sensors is the same and, for sensors of the same generation, the amount of noise in the final image also about the same (even though one is at ISO 100 and the other at ISO 400). This doesn't just work in theory, it also works in practice: I have both kinds of gear and can attest that, with a bit of care to do controlled comparisons, this is easy to verify first-hand.
don't forget that while one calculation is linear (ie: 42.5 vs 85 (or 90 as they wrote in the article), the surface area (of the opening) decreases by the square root, thus, the relative aperture change is far greater than the extension.
The same way focal length is meaningless without specifying the sensor size, exposure (as in determining the noise level in the image) is meaningless without specifying the sensor size. The same focal length does not have the same effect on differently sized sensors, ditto for the exposure, the same exposure does not have the same effect on differently sized sensors.
Thus the same way we talk about equivalent focal length we should also talk about equivalent exposure.
The other way to look at the situation is to admit that with the m43 sensor and matching lens you can shoot with 2 stops faster shutter speed having the same DOF compared to a FF camera.
@Rage Joe
But then you have two stops less total light hitting the sensor. That is, a quarter of the photons, which means twice the noise amplitude (plus whatever read noise the sensor has, which may dominate at low ISO).
Put another way, ISO 1600 on my micro-4/3 gear is a completely different thing from ISO 1600 on my 35mm-format gear. (This doesn't matter much if there's enough light that you are in a range where the noise is very small either way -- but in that case the shutter speed "advantage", if there was one, wouldn't matter either).
misolo: "But then you have two stops less total light hitting the sensor."
You are wrong.
With a m4/3 camera you can use two stops wider aperture to have the same DOF as on a FF camera - and that's exactly the amount of light that you lose having smaller a m4/3 ( crop 2x) sensor compared to FF sensor. That's easy math, you were wrong, I'm sure you can figure this out.
@Rage Joe
The f-number tells you the relative aperture (focal length over actual aperture). For a given scene illumination and shutter speed, the f-n. also determines the light density on the sensor. The total light is equal to density x area (think of how much water you can collect from 1" of rainfall over 1 sq. ft vs. over 4 sq. ft). The total noise in an image is proportional to the total light used to make it (quanta and Poisson processes and all that).
And all of that is why any doubting Thomas can pick up, say, a G5 and a 5DIII and check that (RAW scaled to same size) ISO 400 on the G5 has about the same noise as ISO 1600 on the 5DIII. That means you can shoot at, say, f/2.8, ISO 400, and 1/100 sec on the G5 and f/5.6, ISO 1600, and 1/100 sec on the 5DIII (i.e., unlike you stated, the same shutter speed) and end up with very similar images (DOF, noise, motion blur).
I'm sorry if this makes you feel insecure is some weird way (we can all be strange creatures at times).
Well, this is hopeless, you still didn't get what I was after. You didn't understand a word I was saying.
says Uematsu:
"Other people can say 'we have a bigger sensor,' but a combination of a not-so-big sensor and a brighter lens can be maybe better, but you have to explain F-number - it's very difficult."
Uematsu is right.
It sounds like good motivation to go out and sel some more piks to pay for them

What a disappointment---and rip off – What a disappointment. We have eaten Easter brunch here since it started, and brunch throughout the year. Normally, the brunch is $19.95 and worth it! $4 bottomless Mimosas and exceptional service. Everything was wrong today, and a total rip-off.
The website showed the normal price for the Easter Brunch. We brought my Mom who can barely eat due to Lou Gehrig's disease. We were fine paying $19.95 for her to eat mashed potatos and join us for Easter. We find out when we arrive that the buffet price has increased to $29.95 for Easter. $12.95 for our 7 year old to eat instead of the normal $4.95.
Not sure why the website would not give the price increase. Anyway, the food is normally fantastic and the service great. They put in 25 extra tables for Easter, so it was so packed you could not walk around tables to get to the mini buffet. No prime rib, ham cut so thin it was almost shaved ham, raw green beans, no cinnamon rolls, and under cooked chicken. No additional servers were brought in, so service was terrible. Dirty plates sat on the table with empty soda/tea glasses.
So many people loved their normal buffet, they decided to "tune it up" this year, which is what the manager told me when I complained about the extra $24 dollars on my bill for coffee, orange juice, soda and iced tea. Drinks have always come with the buffet at $19.95. Now at $29.95 they decided to charge extra for drinks?????
Bottom line, food & service were lousy, and the price was a bait & switch. Hope the extra $50 they made from us today makes up for losing us as customers, plus all the people we now tell not to go there, when we used to recommend it to everyone. I will also make sure my company has no future business dinners or lunches there again.

For his high school senior project, Zack Kopplin started a campaign to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act, a 2008 law passed in his home state that opens a "back door" to teaching creationism in public schools, he says. Currently taking a year off from Rice University to work and travel, Mr. Kopplin, 20, is widely recognized as the state's leading voice against science denial education. He has expanded his campaign to fight similar laws across the country, as well as the use of public vouchers to send students to religious schools. He argues regularly, if unsuccessfully, before the Louisiana Senate to strike down the law, and his April appearance on "Real Time With Bill Maher," in which he faced off against a conservative economist, Stephen Moore, went viral.
"I'm proud to be from Louisiana, but I don't want people to laugh at me when I go out of state. 'Oh that's the guy from the stupid state with the creationism law,' " Mr. Kopplin said.
In Britain in March, Esha Marwaha, a 16-year-old from Hounslow, West London, started an online petition calling for Education Secretary Michael Gove to abandon a plan to remove references to climate change from the geography curriculum for students under 14. The petition got more than 30,000 signatures, and in July, Mr. Gove changed course.
Ms. Marwaha, a self-described geography fanatic, said lessons about climate change — whether it is caused by people or not — are crucial to keeping future students engaged in evidence-based science.

As the winner for the Best Animated Movie presented by Lucasfilm and Atom at this year's Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge at San Diego Comic-Con International, Star Wars in a Notebook captured the imagination of what Star Wars would look like recreated with paper cut-outs in a notebook.
Starwars.com chats with Columbia-based filmmaker Oscar Fabián Triana Méndez.
What is your background in film? Did you make films as a youngster/teen?
I studied Graphic Design on the National University of Colombia, and last year I finished the new specialization in animation program at the same college. My first animated short-film, UnoCero (One-Zero) was made on 2003 while I was studying. It's an animated film about a student who must choose his studies or the last minutes of a historic soccer game — our national team against Germany in the Italia '90 World Cup.
Later, I was working for several years "pioneering" video game development here, and from the last year, I just came back to the storytelling and narrative side of animation. On the specialization program, I made a couple of short films and experiments, from stop-motion to rotoscopy, and a main project called ImaGeForce. It's not finished yet but it touches a lot of points that I developed later in Star Wars in a Notebook like kids, memories and spaceships.
What prompted you to make a Star Wars fan film? How have George Lucas and his films influenced your work?
I have been following the fan films and the Atom site for a really long time — way back to high school. For years I wanted to enter the Fan Movie Challenge but I never had enough time to make a film until this year. I have always loved all things about heroes, robots, outer space, as any kid, and years later in college. Star Wars was, and is, the obligated reference as a key piece on the audiovisual medium.
My first contact with the films was halfway through middle school, a couple of years before Episode I. When I saw the original movies on VHS, and the new one in the cinema, I was blown way! I even made a pod racer model for a physics class. It was the time when I was thinking, "Hmm, what I'm going to do? What career fits best for me?" Watching the "making of" TV specials, and interviews with the artists behind the movies I said, as many people have been doing on the last 30 years, "This is something that I want to do; create amazing worlds, characters and adventures!"
Where did you get your idea for your film?
Surprisingly, my first experience with the Star Wars universe was not with the movies! It was with the Rebel Assault games and the Shadows of the Empire saga, thanks to the Nintendo 64 videogame, and later the Dark Horse comics. My mom and my aunt bought me these videogame magazines and I was absorbed by the pictures. I finally played the game a couple of years later because my computer couldn't handle the PC version, and we never have a console besides the old NES.
During that time, I also found a novelization in Spanish from the first movie in my aunt's house. I read it in a couple of days, it was awesome! The funny bit was that the things I knew about the Star Wars universe were kind of vague and alternative/secondary to the main story of the original trilogy, so my first and very own version of A New Hope was kind of crazy. For example, when I was reading I thought the Millennium Falcon was some kind of modified X-wing.
So that's where my idea came from. When you were a kid, you retell a movie with so many things changed but with tons of wonder and enthusiasm. That's what I want to reflect on my short film; and it looks that I made it!
Another source of inspiration happened last year, when I introduced the Indiana Jones and the Star Wars movies — in chronological order — to my little neighbors. They became really hardcore fans, making drawings and writing their own stories. They prefer the prequel trilogy and The Clone Wars series, so there is something for everyone.
About the visual aspect of the film, I'm a really big fan of director Michel Gondry. The whole concept of the "Sweded" movies is amazing,. And after watching some fan videos like Empire in 60 seconds, or the famous Star Wars according to a 3 years old, I knew that I could do something that mixes these things by telling a story with really few resources, nothing fancy or pretentious, a naïve approach, and with a lot of heart using the magic of animation.
What are some of the technical aspects of your film? What did you shoot and edit with?
All the animation was digital, but to the untrained eye it looks like some form of stop-motion. I use a lot of textures scanned at home like fabric pieces, metal, paper, toys, sand, leaves and even towels. Everything around me had the risk of being scanned! I recycled some of the textures from my last project, but the new designs for characters and ships were new. I tried not to re-watch the movies during the production. I wanted a fresh approach, and if I forgot the details, the better! When a piece really didn't work I use the Dorling Kindersley Visual Dictionary for reference.
I animated the whole short on After Effects with dozens of layers for each character and a ton of compositions for the main project. There are a couple of shots with 3-D footage made in Maya, and the sound mix was made on Audition. I put everything together on Premiere. It took me five weeks start to finish.
What were some of the challenges and surprises that happened to you as you were writing/directing/filming your movie?
The challenge was to keep the pace and the flow of the whole film, make it fun, and consistent. That took me a lot of time and multiple renders trying to give enough "space" to show the animation and to find the right feeling on each scene. I couldn't make it without my new computer. I bought it thanks to the money from a special scholarship.
As we know, the subtitles are far from perfect. Originally, I wanted a kid narrator, but it's hard to find one that speaks English here. The script typography is the same that is used here on elementary school. Maybe someday I can make a special edition fixing these little problems.
By the way, two funny things happened while making the film. I already made the Mon Mothma character realizing later that she doesn't appear on A New Hope. It could be used like a nod for the sequels, but I dropped the idea. The other little detail was that I made a helmet for Luke for the Death Star attack sequence but I forget to use it on the composition! The layer was OFF! You can find it on the trailer. Another detail is the "in a notebook" vs. the "on the notebook" text on the very first video the "in" wasn't there. I made a poster too — Spanish and English editions.
Who were all the principle people in helping get the film made? Who would you thank if your film won an Academy Award?
My family without a doubt. They always support my crazy ideas and the pursuit of my utopian dreams. So I must say thank you to my mom, Dora, my aunts, Gladys and Elsa, and my grandma, Marina. Thank you to my little neighbors, too, my friends and that very special person, Milena. (Hmm, that spoils the "subliminal message" on the short film credits!)
What do you love the most about Star Wars?
These movies made an industry. There are hundreds of people around the world that live and dream thanks to the possibilities these films have opened. People make movies, video games, TV series, books, comics, toys and novels. The movies are a spectacular take on the wonders of life, and that adventure could be yours.
Why do you think recognizing fan films is important?
All the fan films are fueled by passion, and that is something hard to find sometimes. You made it because you wanted it. You remember, what is the essence, what makes these movies exciting back then. So it's a nice approach that you should take not only with your own fan movies, but in your professional or personal work, I think. It shows what you can do, when you really love something or someone; and to be recognized for that is an honor and a cool reward!

probably my favorite tool at the moment, most accurate way to read a neck that I'm aware of, i use it all the time now. thanks stew mac
This is a very useful tool. When using this, I know the state of the neck in a moment. The point that pay attention. It's necessary to apply this to a string and parallel when your guitar has small radius fingerboard.
Makes setups sooooo much faster.
An excellent tool. Gives a more accurate reading of the fingerboard and neck than a straightedge across the frets. A must have for fretwork and setups.
I've had mine just under a week and it's helped me setup up and find problems with around 10 guitars. I've just played my order for the bass version.
Quickly reads the fretboard and lets me know where the problem areas are. If you don't correct the fretboard first,your frets wont be right either.
The notched straightedge is a guitar repairman's "must have" tool. There is no way to accurately measure the fretboard without it. This is invaluable when setting up or doing fret and or nut work. By only using a standard straight edge, you are only measuring the frets. The notched edge lets you know if the fretboard is straight or bowed, without the guesswork of just measuring the frets themselves.
The only complaint one could have with the tool is that you need to be extremely careful not to scratch the guitar you are working on, as the edges of the little notches are very sharp. I accidentally slid it across my strat's top and got a nasty gouge. Oh well, it gives the guitar character.
I was a little skeptical at the price of this one, but when I got it in the shop, it's value became immediate. It showed my friend and I where the rocking was on the fretboard, the highs and the lows, and just exactly where we should work on. Great tool.
I just received this and have fretted two necks. This tool has been absolutely essential! I think it is an expensive one but the quality is there. You can use this very easily on a fully fretted strung fretboard which is extremely helpful in set up.
Another ingeniously simple tool, it has helped make my fretwork faster and higher quality. It has paid for itself many times over.

thanks a bunch cuomo.... oh wait.

Are you kidding me?? You're going to complain about P:D and then THIS is what you come up with?
You people are so retarded.
where did you see this?
pinkertonjunkie said:where did you see this?
a little bird whispered it in my ear. its legit though. crickets from cuomo and koch apparently.
I posted this on allthingsweezer.com
My intention wasn't to use it to badmouth Rivers Cuomo or Karl. I just thought it was interesting to see how much the tracklist had changed since this was compiled which was around May of 2010 from what my contact told me.
I'm just happy that we got Tragic Girl, I Swear It's True, Getting Up and Leaving and Longtime Sunshine. If we had lost any of those then I'd be pissed.
Pinkerton: Deluxe still gave me way more joy than Death To False Metal. I can't believe that Death To False Metal is really made up of the best unreleased Weezer tracks after hearing "So Low," "We Go Together," "You're The One (sample)." Those songs give me more shivers than anything on DTFM.

A "Simply Shopping…Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" event today from 2 to 5:30 p.m. at the East Carolina Agriculture and Education Center will benefit Edgecombe County 4-H.
"This is our 13th year and it keeps growing," said Lesa Walton, 4-H youth development extension agent for Edgecombe County. "We just want to encourage folks to come out and shop with us and support our local vendors…Kick off your holiday shopping if you haven't already and get in the holiday spirit."
As Walton pointed out, today is a holiday (Veterans' Day), offering a perfect opportunity for people off work for the day to drop by the show. Eighteen vendors will offer up a variety of holiday gifts to customers. Jewelry, women's scarves, bath and spa items, Pampered Chef items, clothing and fashion, and food items will be among the offerings at the show.
"It's just a mixture…things that appeal to ladies' shopping," Walton said. "We've got local artists who do paints on canvas. We've got a gentleman coming who bakes his own cheese straws. There's another lady coming who does monogrammed initials out of wood."
At the show, Walton said the 4-Her's also will take orders for live Fraser fir wreaths to be delivered during the holidays as an additional fundraiser.
The Edgecombe County 4-Her's are young people ages 5 to 19 from all parts of Edgecombe County. The proceeds from the show will help support the 4-Her's service learning projects and life skill development.
"Their motto is to make the best better," Walton said. "They're trying to improve themselves and make themselves the best individual they can be, working to become well-rounded young men and women."
The entry fee for the holiday shopping event is $1 or a canned good to support slightly-worn shoes for the "4-H Sole to Soul" community service project.
To get to the agriculture center, take exit 478 from U.S. Highway 64. The center is at 1175 Kingsboro Road.

UMass Memorial Medical Center hospitalists work closely with a hospitalized patient and his/her personal physician to coordinate and provide care.
The hospitalist chooses medical tests or evaluations, interprets test results, and works with the patient's physician to make essential decisions about the treatment plan. The hospitalist also is responsible for calling in other physician specialists for medical consults or to discuss further treatment options.
Because hospitalists are at the Medical Center in Worcester 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they are available to see patients as many times as needed on a daily basis.
In short, the hospitalists and the patient's personal physician work as a team to help the patient through a continuum of care that includes easy admission, a comfortable and compassionate hospital stay, and as timely a discharge as possible.

Gender in Amazonia and Melanesia: An Exploration of the Comparative Methodby Thomas A. Gregor Donald Tuzin
The contributors to this innovative volume illuminate the various ways in which sex and gender are elaborated, obsessed over, and internalized, shaping subjective experiences common to entire cultural regions, and beyond.
Gender in Psychoanalytic Space: Between Clinic and Cultureby Muriel Dimen Virginia Goldner
"Here is a book that both creates and illuminates the space where psychoanalysis, feminism, gender studies, and sexualities join. . . . A collection of cutting edge work that brims with the excitement of new possibility. " -Dr. Sam Gerson Combining clinical psychoanalysis with feminism, postmodernism, and psychoanalytic theory, this pioneering collection represents a major step forward in psychoanalytic gender studies.
The Gender Knot: Unraveling Our Patriarchal Legacyby Allan G. Johnson
The book describes in detail the patriarchal system under which societies exist and suggests ways of beginning to unravel that knot.
The Gender Knot: Unraveling our Patriarchal Legacy: Revised and Updated Editionby Allan G. Johnson
The Gender Knot, Allan Johnson's response to the pain and confusion that men and women experience by living with gender inequality, explains what patriarchy is (and isn't), how it works, and what gets in the way of understanding and doing something about it. Johnson's simple yet powerful approach avoids the paralyzing trap of guilt, blame, anger, and defensive denial that often result from conversations about gender. He shows how we all participate in an oppressive system we didn't create and how each of us can contribute towards its dissolution. He argues persuasively that something much better is possible and that our individual choices matter more than we can ever know.
Gender, Nationalism, and Warby Matthew Evangelista
Virginia Woolf famously wrote 'as a woman I have no country', suggesting that women had little stake in defending countries where they are considered second-class citizens, and should instead be forces for peace. Yet women have been perpetrators as well as victims of violence in nationalist conflicts. This unique book generates insights into the role of gender in nationalist violence by examining feature films from a range of conflict zones. In The Battle of Algiers, female bombers destroy civilians while men dress in women's clothes to prevent the French army from capturing and torturing them. Prisoner of the Mountains shows a Chechen girl falling in love with her Russian captive as his mother tries to rescue him. Providing historical and political context to these and other films, Matthew Evangelista identifies the key role that economic decline plays in threatening masculine identity and provoking the misogynistic violence that often accompanies nationalist wars.
The Gender of the Gift: Problems with Women and Problems with Society in Melanesiaby Marilyn Strathern
In the most original and ambitious synthesis yet undertaken in Melanesian scholarship, Marilyn Strathern argues that gender relations have been a particular casualty of unexamined assumptions held by Western anthropologists and feminist scholars alike. The book treats with equal seriousness--and with equal good humor--the insights of Western social science, feminist politics, and ethnographic reporting, in order to rethink the representation of Melanesian social and cultural life. This makes The Gender of the Gift one of the most sustained critiques of cross-cultural comparison that anthropology has seen, and one of its most spirited vindications.

Basic questions about gender, roles, feminism, transsexuality, male-to-female surgery are covered. The book was considered a landmark piece when first published.
Gender: Psychological Perspectives (6th Edition)by Linda Brannon

Gender, Race, and Mourning in American Modernismby Greg Forter
American modernist writers' engagement with changing ideas of gender and race often took the form of a struggle against increasingly inflexible categories. Greg Forter interprets modernism as an effort to mourn a form of white manhood that fused the 'masculine' with the 'feminine'. He argues that modernists were engaged in a poignant yet deeply conflicted effort to hold on to socially 'feminine' and racially marked aspects of identity, qualities that the new social order encouraged them to disparage. Examining works by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and Willa Cather, Forter shows how these writers shared an ambivalence toward the feminine and an unease over existing racial categories that made it difficult for them to work through the loss of the masculinity they mourned. Gender, Race, and Mourning in American Modernism offers a bold new reading of canonical modernism in the United States.
Gender-Responsive Government Budgetingby Feridoun Sarraf
A report from the International Monetary Fund.
Gender Talkby Beverly Guy-Sheftall Johnnetta B. Cole
Why has the African American community remained silent about gender even as race has moved to the forefront of our nation's consciousness? In this important new book, two of the nation's leading African American intellectuals offer a resounding and far-reaching answer to a question that has been ignored for far too long. Hard-hitting and brilliant in its analysis of culture and sexual politics, Gender Talk asserts boldly that gender matters are critical to the Black community in the twenty-first century. In the Black community, rape, violence against women, and sexual harassment are as much the legacy of slavery as is racism. Johnnetta Betsch Cole and Beverly Guy-Sheftall argue powerfully that the only way to defeat this legacy is to focus on the intersection of race and gender. Gender Talk examines why the "race problem" has become so male-centered and how this has opened a deep divide between Black women and men. The authors turn to their own lives, offering intimate accounts of their experiences as daughters, wives, and leaders. They examine pivotal moments in African American history when race and gender issues collided with explosive results--from the struggle for women's suffrage in the nineteenth century to women's attempts to gain a voice in the Black Baptist movement and on into the 1960s, when the Civil Rights movement and the upsurge of Black Power transformed the Black community while sidelining women. Along the way, they present the testimonies of a large and influential group of Black women and men, including bell hooks, Faye Wattleton, Byllye Avery, Cornell West, Robin DG Kelley, Michael Eric Dyson, Marcia Gillispie, and Dorothy Height.Provding searching analysis into the present, Cole and Guy-Sheftall uncover the cultural assumptions and attitudes in hip-hop and rap, in the O.J. Simpson and Mike Tyson trials, in the Million Men and Million Women Marches, and in the battle over Clarence Thomas's appointment to the Supreme Court. Fearless and eye-opening, Gender Talk is required reading for anyone concerned with the future of African American women--and men.From the Hardcover edition.
Gender through the Prism of Difference (3rd Edition)by Maxine Baca Zinn Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo Michael A. Messner
This book reflects the belief that race, class, and sexual diversity among women and men should be central to the study of gender. But this collection adds an important new dimension that will broaden the frame of gender studies. By including some articles that are based on research in countries outside the United States, in nonindustrial societies, and among immigrant groups, we hope that Gender Through the Prism of Difference will contribute to a transcendence of the often myopic, U.S.-based, and Eurocentric focus in the study of sex and gender. The inclusion of these perspectives is not simply useful for illuminating our own cultural blind spots: It also begins to demonstrate how, early in the twenty-first century, gender relations are increasingly centrally implicated in current processes of globalization.
Gendered Commodity Chains: Seeing Women's Work and Households in Global Productionby Wilma A. Dunaway
Gendered Commodity Chains is the first book to consider the fundamental role of gender in global commodity chains. It challenges long-held assumptions of global economic systems by identifying the crucial role social reproduction plays in production and by declaring the household as an important site of production. In affirming the importance of women's work in global production, this cutting-edge volume fills an important gender gap in the field of global commodity and value chain analysis. With thirteen chapters by an international group of scholars from sociology, anthropology, economics, women's studies, and geography, this volume begins with an eye-opening feminist critique of existing commodity chain literature. Throughout its remaining five parts, Gendered Commodity Chains addresses ways women's work can be integrated into commodity chain research, the forms women's labor takes, threats to social reproduction, the impact of indigenous and peasant households on commodity chains, the rapidly expanding arenas of global carework and sex trafficking, and finally, opportunities for worker resistance. This broadly interdisciplinary volume provides conceptual and methodological guides for academics, graduate students, researchers, and activists interested in the gendered nature of commodity chains.
Gendered Lives: Communication, Gender & Culture (6th edition)by Julia T. Wood
Realizing that inequality is socially constructed empowers us to be agents of change.
The Gendered Society (3rd edition)by Michael S. Kimmel
Thoroughly updated and revised, the third edition of The Gendered Society explores current thinking about gender, both inside academia and in our everyday lives.
The Gendered Society (4th edition)by Michael S. Kimmel
Thoroughly updated throughout, the fourth edition of The Gendered Society explores current thinking about gender, both inside academia and in our everyday lives. Michael Kimmel challenges the claim that gender is limited to women's experiences-his compelling and balanced study of gender includes both masculine and feminine perspectives. Kimmel makes three bold and persuasive statements about gender. First, he demonstrates that gender differences are often extremely exaggerated; in fact, he argues that men and women have much more in common than we think they do. Kimmel also challenges the pop psychologists who suggest that gender difference is the cause of inequality between the sexes; instead, he reveals that the reverse is true-gender inequality itself is the cause of the differences between men and women. Finally, he illustrates that gender is not merely an element of individual identity, but a socially constructed institutional phenomenon. Essential reading for both students and scholars, The Gendered Society is an authoritative, incisive, and lively statement about contemporary gender relations from one of the country's foremost thinkers on the subject.
Gendered Transitions: Mexican Experiences of Immigrationby Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo
The momentous influx of Mexican undocumented workers into the United States over the last decades has spurred new ways of thinking about immigration. Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo's incisive book enlarges our understanding of these recently arrived Americans and uncovers the myriad ways that women and men recreate families and community institutions in a new land. Hondagneu-Sotelo argues that people do not migrate as a result of concerted household strategies, but as a consequence of negotiations often fraught with conflict in families and social networks. Migration and settlement transform long-held ideals and lifestyles. Traditional patterns are reevaluated, and new relationships--often more egalitarian--emerge. Women gain greater personal autonomy and independence as they participate in public life and gain access to both social and economic influence previously beyond their reach. Bringing to life the experiences of undocumented immigrants and delineating the key role of women in newly established communities, Gendered Transitions challenges conventional assumptions about gender and migration. It will be essential reading for demographers, historians, sociologists, and policymakers. "I've opened my eyes. Back there, they say 'no.' You marry, and no, you must stay home. Here, it's different. You marry, and you continue working. Back in Mexico, it's very different. There is very much machismo in those men."--A Mexican woman living in the United States.
Gendering Global Conflictby Laura Sjoberg
Laura Sjoberg positions gender and gender subordination as key factors in the making and fighting of global conflict. Through the lens ofgender, she examines the meaning, causes, practices, and experiences of war, building a more inclusive approach to the analysis of violent conflict between states.Considering war at the international, state, substate, and individual levels, Sjoberg's feminist perspective gives a number of causal variables significant standing in war decision-making. These include structural gender inequality, cycles of gendered violence, state masculine posturing, the often overlooked role of emotion in political interactions, gendered understandings of power, and states' mistaken perception of their own autonomy and unitary nature. Gendering Global Conflict also calls attention to understudied spaces that can be sites of war, such as the workplace, the household, and even the bedroom. Her findings show gender to be a linchpin of even the most tedious and seemingly bland tactical and logistical decisions in violent conflict. Armed with that information, Sjoberg undertakes the task of redefining and reintroducing both traditional and critical readings of war's political, economic, and humanitarian dimensions, developing the beginnings of a feminist theory of war.
GenderQueer: Voices from Beyond the Sexual Binaryby Joan Nestle Clare Howell Riki Wilchins
The three well-known editors have gathered a variety of multiple authors, multiple transgender issues, multiple perspectives. Some of their writings are included. A compendium of essays and stories, some personal, some political, all ages. Although the focus is gender issues, the traditional lesbian butch and femme roles are included as butch status becomes questioned as lesbian or male-to-female transsexual.
Gene Expression Profilingby Richard A. Shimkets
Leading scientists in gene expression methodology and bioinformatics data analysis describe readily reproducible methods for measuring RNA levels in cells and tissues. The techniques presented include new methods for applying the Affymetrix GeneChip®, SAR-SAGE, StaRT-PCR, SSH, the Invader Assay®, and ADGEM. The authors also provide critical bioinformatics insight and resources for data analysis and management. By distilling the basic underlying principles of many methods to a few straightforward concepts, investigators can easily choose the method most appropriate to their application.
Gene Function Analysisby Michael F. Ochs
With the advent of high-throughput technologies following completion of the human genome project and similar projects, the number of genes of interest has expanded and the traditional methods for gene function analysis cannot achieve the throughput necessary for large-scale exploration. This book brings together a number of recently developed techniques for looking at gene function, including computational, biochemical and biological methods and protocols.
The Gene Keysby Richard Rudd
The book begins by introducing the reader to a fantastic possibility - that humanity may be on the verge of a major shift in consciousness rooted in a new understanding of how our DNA operates - namely that it is programmed directly by the way we think and feel. This is a highly ambitious and sophisticated system for shaping one's destiny. Based around 64 archetypes, it resembles the I Ching in its vast scope and profound importance, and in the resonant character of its symbolism. The author shows how there are two ways to approach the Gene Keys - the analogue (holistic) way and the digital (detailed) way. It is the combining of both analogue and digital that results in contemplation - the primary pathway into the Gene Keys. Since our beliefs shape our genes, when we change our beliefs, we change the chemistry of our body. The Gene Keys are an inner language whose central purpose is to transform our core beliefs about ourselves, thus raising our lives onto a new level of awareness. The book works alongside state-of-the-art online profiling software.This software will provide instantaneous free profiles known as 'Hologenetic Profiles', which uses astrological data (time, date and place of birth) to generate a unique sequence of Gene Keys that relate to many aspects of your life, including the underlying genetic patterns governing your relationships, your finances, your health and your life purpose. As the reader contemplates the 64 Gene Keys over time and applies their insights in his or her own life, so one's belief system will begin to change and our DNA will actually start to transform the way we think and feel.
Gene Regulationby Minou Bina
This volume offers cutting-edge technologies for studies of gene regulation. The chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, and step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols.
Gene Regulatory Networksby Bart Deplancke Nele Gheldof
Gene regulatory networks play a vital role in organismal development and function by controlling gene expression. With the availability of complete genome sequences, several novel experimental and computational approaches have recently been developed which promise to significantly enhance our ability to comprehensively characterize these regulatory networks by enabling the identification of respectively their genomic or regulatory state components, or the interactions between these two in unprecedented detail. Divided into five convenient sections, Gene Regulatory Networks: Methods and Protocols details how each of these approaches contributes to a more thorough understanding of the composition and function of gene regulatory networks, while providing a comprehensive protocol on how to implement them in the laboratory. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters contain introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and accessible, Gene Regulatory Networks: Methods and Protocols aims to provide novices and experienced researchers alike with a comprehensive and timely toolkit to study gene regulatory networks from the point of data generation to processing, visualization, and modeling.

What if?????
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.
18 posts • Page 1 of 1
What if?????
Howard Drew hadn't have been injured in the heats of the 1912 Olympic 100 meters? The fact that he was the roots to the tree as far as the great black sprinter goes is sorta lost since Drew was not an Olympic champion. Hard to ignore an Olympic Gold medal. Then again Eddie Tolan is never talked about in the same vein as Jesse Owens. Tolan being the first black Olympic 100 meter champ.
I hope nobody out there is looking at this as being "racist" that's not my intentions at all. Just a history fan talking well...history!
What if Eulace Peacock had been in Berlin in 36 standing side by side with Jesse Owens? Peacock like Drew had an injury stand in the way of his Olympic dream.
Like Drew and Peacock Northwesterns Jim Golliday was also felled by injuries in both 52 and 56. He was a WR holder in 9.3 and the top ranked sprinter in world in the early 50's.
Hal Davis,Mozelle Ellerbe and Payton Jordan all starred in the early-mid 40's when due to the wat there were no Olympics.....bummer! They never got a shot!
What if Eddie Hart runs in 72? What if Bob Hayes had hung around until 68? What if Tommie Smith had hung around until 72?
Re: What if?????
Is there actually a question in here somewhere, or are these all just rhetorical musings?
Re: What if?????
As soon as you bring race into it, you've got a problem waiting to erupt.
Re: What if?????
Hey, we all love watching races!
Re: What if?????
you were straight..
Re: What if?????
what if lasse viren wasnt so good, then pre would be a champ. p.s, gummudi is awesome. golden brown, no need to frown.
Re: What if?????
What if Brundage hadn't been such a schmuck and let Stoller and Glickman run the 4x100 - and then Jesse would have never received his last gold medal ?
What if Rudolf Harbig didn't die fighting in WWII ?
What if John Baxter Taylor didn't boycott the re-run of the 400 in 1908 ?
What if Valeri Brumel decided not to showboat to his girlfriend on his new motorcycle ?
What if Skeets Nehemiah had stayed with the hurdles instead of playing for the 49ers ?
I will answer one though. If Bob Hayes ran full-tilt into 1968, he very well could have run a mind-boggling time in Mexico City (< 9.9). Blasted amateur rules . . .
Re: What if?????
If Harbig doesn't die during WWII his career certainly does while he waits for 1948 to come around.
If J.B. Taylor contests the re-run in 1908 it doesn't matter. Wyndham Halswelle still wins. In the first running, Taylor - ill and off form at the time - wasn't close enough to Halswelle and Carpenter to make a difference. Nothing except Irish-American jingoism suggests things would have been different in the re-run.
Re: What if?????
>If Harbig doesn't die during WWII his career
>certainly does while he waits for 1948 to come
Actually, he has to wait until 1952, because Germany was barred from the '48 Games.
No, hold on that--he actually has to wait until 1956, because he was from Dresden and the whole '52 team was from the Westbloc!
Re: What if?????
So he finally gets to compete in the Olympcis in the Masters division!
Re: What if?????
ps--Harbig did get an Olympic medal, by the way. As a callow 23-year-old he anchored Germany to 4x4 bronze in '36 (and was a feeble 6th in his heat in the 800)
Re: What if?????
What if.....
The USA had not Boycotted in 1980 and the USSR in 1984.
If Thorpe stayed in track and field.
If Coe and Ovett raced each other more than once every year or two.
Jim Ryun hadn't tripped in 1972.
If Dan O'Brian had not no heighted in the PV at the Oly Trials.
If the Sports Festival judge in the LJ in (82 or 83) in Indianapolis hadn't been blind and allowed Carl Lewis's 30' Long Jump.
hmmmm. Makes you wonder.
Re: What if?????
We would have seen the finals in lots of 1980 and '84 events instead of watching one of the semis or qualifying rounds.
Neither Coe nor Ovett would have run faster, and each would have piled up more losses in his career.
Ryun would have earned two Olympic silver medals in his career.
Thorpe would have stayed poor even longer, and with nothing to show for it since the 1916 Olympics were cancelled.
O'Brien might just have delayed his NH until he was on the bigger stage.
Lewis would have been seen in the general publics' eyes as a failure for having never again set the LJ WR despite 15 years of trying.

Harbig was 22 (not 23) at the time of the Berlin OG (born November 1913)
Re: What if?????
What if Dick Fosbury had mastered the straddle in H.S and had gone on to O.S.U and straddled 6'8"?
and in Canada Debbie Brill could have straddled 5'7" in H.S.? Would we have known about the Flop to-day? What would the W-Rec be? Could Stones have straddled 7'3"?
Personally I think the flop would have evolved anyway but the W-rec probably would have been at 7'8" or thereabouts.

What if???
Bayi had gone in 76 against walker.
Bayi again in 80 against Coe & Ovett.
El G had'nt tripped in 96
J Ryun never met Bob Timmons or Edmiston.
The Greeks never held sports at olympia
The marathon had been standardised at 60km.
So much might have happened, so much might not.

(1984 Olympics)
Zola Budd had never been allowed to compete for GB?
Bert Cameron hadn't pulled his hamstring?
East Germany didn't boycott?
Rono had kept his form and run in LA?
Re: What if?????
Hey, any of you guys ever read any of the alternate history books by Harry Turtledove? Guns of the South was my favorite- future mercenaries travel back in time to provide M-16 rifles to Robert E. Lee so the south can win the war. Anyway, all of your speculation sounds like a good creative writing project for some of you wordsmiths. What if Kenyans knew in 1960 what they know now about distance running and economics?
