Sorry but I don't see how the "new" backs are going to expand the market reach of phaseone.
Only time will tell whether the business model of Phase One is shortsighted or not. Right now it quite frankly does not appear to be...Phase seems to have moved into its own 60-80 MP space, little to no competition, only Hasselblad a bit with their 60 MP backs...Existing users seem willing to upgrade and enough new users are stepping in.If you are not willing to spend $30-40K and/or upgrade to 60-80 MP backs then you are probably not part of their target audience.You can then choose between Hasselblad, Leica, Pentax, Nikon D800... or buy a 4-5 year old used Phase back for around $10K...
Fred,When you shot this test, did you have the slight shutter delay set on the Hasselblad? It has a huge mirror and even though it looks sharper in your samples, I think with the slight mirror shutter delay makes for a even sharper image.Also when you do a test like this did you shoot any full length images? I always test detail (which I rarely test) by shooting a horizontal framed full length adult.I've always found that a head a shoulders image doesn't really show me as much as full length, as most cameras look very good at this distance.One more thing, what was the light source you tested with? Flash, HMI, daylight, tungsten.The few times I've tested and compared cameras just for the sake of comparison I've always tried all four of these light sources because every sensor/camera/processor reacts differently.I've found medium format, at least my phase and previous aptus backs, worked very well with tungsten, much better than my 35mm cameras.I also test hand held and with a tripod. Some cameras really require a tripod, some don't.Did you shoot this test with a tripod?IMOBC
Well said but the problem is most folks do not understand exactly what you just said or maybe better phrased is understand it. Phase like Leica is a niche product supported though by top end end shooters, big studios, big productions, industrial, scientific fields, government and the arts are there biggest customers along with hobbyists that simply want the best they can shoot. Money is very secondary to the purchase of them and most folks on these forums are a very small percentage of the target audience and even fewer that actually make a purchase. Problem is some folks cannot for the life of them understand what we both just said. For them its money as primary and/or how can they cheat around these type of products. As you can see in these posts how that thought pattern runs rapid is how can they get away from spending this kind of money . Understandable but they need to realize they are not the target audience anyway. Prices will not drop to the floor and MF will not die because Nikon has a new freaking toy. The DSLR world is a completely different target audience. MF was and never will be a mass market product and even when we shot film was it a mass market product. Not sure why people simply do not understand that. Seriously MF has not changed since the beginning, it got updated with digital but not market share.
The medium format market share among professional photographers was much larger in the film days. The vast majority of MF film cameras were replaced by 35mm DSLRs.Just looking at the numbers for MF cameras made in the transition years.2003 18,006 Cameras2004 10,507 Cameras2005 7,950 Cameras (over 2,000 of them coming from unsold 2004 stock).
Being a "professional photographer" just means that you take pictures for living.
Not to get off topic, but I work with many "professional" photographers through my store. Your definition fits many of them, but probably isn't the accepted definition. Most that represent themselves as a professional photographer in the U.S. make the substantial portion of their living from some other profession, but because they charge money for doing photography they classify it as professional. This side profession of photography is usually priced accordingly ... if they were to do photography full time, they wouldn't make enough money to support their needs.There is nothing new about this, but the numbers of these types of professionals has grown exponentially over the past 8 to 9 years. The number of full time professional photographers has declined dramatically as this process has fragmented the market and eroded prices, forcing many full time professionals into either part time photographers with a another means of income or out of photography altogether.
2. Telling someone that their opinion doesn't matter because they "can't afford it" is shitty and alienating, and is in fact not true. Anyone can get credit, at least in the states.
4. The arguments about color and tonality are misleading, mostly. Almost all digital devices need some color grading in post. The only digi cameras I've used that nail color out of the box are the Arri Alexxa, Aptus 75, and Fuji X100, S3, S5. It's mainly a matter of how much time you need to spend on a file.
5. Arguments about sharpness are lame. Its mastabatory. There are very few digital cams made that are not good enough for print publication.
If I make a test and it is not sharp I may not know why it was not sharp. But I can go back and retest. But I certainly feel that I would not feel OK about that image.
If you are going to dismiss all the tests which do not find out that your camera of choice is the best one, you will certainly find out that your camera of choice is the best one.The reason why that particular picture appears less sharp than what you believe is the average picture one gets out of a D800 is because it is an average picture and not one for which the conditions have been chosen to favour the D800, as in other tests. If I take a picture of a young girl with a small tele, the D800 will appear better because:-the skin of a young girl has little high frequency content-small tele lenses are easier to build than wide angle for SLRs.I said it already: that picture is a direct jpeg (raw appears a bit sharper), from a D800 (not "E"), taken with a 14-24 in poor light. There are other samples on my flickr account if you can be bothered to clic around and I intend to upload a few more in the coming days.
I have seen dozens of images from D800/D800E and have processed quite a lot of those from raw. Admittedly, I didn't have the opportunity to analyze images from 14-24/2.8.I never shoot jpeg, so I have little experience with in camera image processing.I would also point out that the Nikon D800/D800E is not my camera of choice, but it is the only camera 36 MP camera around 3000 USD. Nikon can also take Zeiss lenses and even Leica lenses with Leitax adapters so it is an interesting alternative for those seeking a cost effective way of achieving maximum image quality.The new Zeiss 24/2 seems to be an interesting lens, about the sharpest one I have seen at center, but it probably has weak corners.And no, I don't own the Zeiss 24/2. I own three Zeiss lenses, 24-70/2.8 ZA, 16-80/3.5-4.5 ZA and a Zeiss Sonnar 150/4. The Sonnar is old but T*.
What does this have to do with the discussion?
It is an answer to your posting. You seem to assume that I base my opinion whatever it may be on the image posted by Mr. Koskolov, the one with the young girl. That is however not the case. The only point I made that there is somevthing odd about the image you have posted. The D800 images I have seen where mostly sharp.
Never ceases to amaze how folk get their knickers in a twist over other's choices.You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a testosterone fuelled play pit.But wait...
Not to get off topic, but I work with many "professional" photographers through my store. Your definition fits many of them, but probably isn't the accepted definition. Most that represent themselves as a professional photographer in the U.S. make the substantial portion of their living from some other profession, but because they charge money for doing photography they classify it as professional.

Perfection! This recipe can be made smooth or "chunky."
Delightful, quick, and had everything on hand. How much easier could it get? I used my Magic Bullet, after mixing together garlic, pine nuts, s&p, Parmesan cheese, oil. I blended this together, and added the basil in the end. Perfect! Thanks so much, nickfo! Will use again!

Research Institution:
AbstractThe marine mammal mitigation mission planning tool (M3 PT) will allow mission planners to identify marine mammal hazard areas based on sound scientific research of marine mammal migration routes and habitats. Our unique approach will also enable the Navy to refine its knowledge of marine mammal habitats in operational theaters by logging and data basing visual observations and acoustic detections of marine mammals made by Navy warships while on patrol. The marine mammal mission planning tool will interface in-situ with active sonar systems and provide warning areas around these systems based upon passive detection and localization from the marine mammal mitigation detection system and active detections of marine mammals from the SQS-53C sonar. The hazard areas will be based on Level A and Level B harassment as a function of permanent threshold shift (PTS) and temporary threshold shift (TTS). The M3 PT will display hazard areas around active systems based upon transmit source levels and sound propagation modeling using real time bathythermograph inputs and the spatial location of observed marine mammals. During Phase I of this effort we will document the feasibility of our design approach for Phase II laboratory testing and at-sea demonstration onboard an Improved Performance Sonar platform. BENEFITS: One of the most significant contributions to marine mammal research will be inclusion of shipboard sightings and acoustic detections into a searchable database. Private industry and research institutions are not afforded the luxury of making long duration/long transits across the vast expanses of the ocean that the Navy does on a day-to-day bases. These observations will support on-going marine mammal research efforts across a wide spectrum. It will support: • Identification of marine mammal migration routes • Identification of feeding areas • Identification of breeding areas • Identification of marine mammal nursery areas • Identification of rich marine mammal habitats • Population estimates of various marine mammal species • Density estimates of various marine mammal species • Refinement of marine mammal ranges • Development of historical trends

Who Do You Think You Are? : Season 2
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The stories, though personal for each subject, aren't just a voyeuristic peek at famous people's lives and ancestries, but a look inside the human heart.
It's refreshing and moving to see a celebrity on such a raw, human level--even if it reinforces the belief that famous folks are still cooler than us.
Who Do You Think You Are? still has an uneasy feeling at times, stemming from the fact it only traces the ancestry of celebrities. But if celebrities aren't the only important Americans, that doesn't mean interesting celebrity ancestors aren't important.

Addresses the problems of automatically constructing algebraic surface models from sets of 2D and 3D images and using these models in pose computation, motion and deformation estimation, and object recognition. We propose using a combination of constrained optimization and nonlinear least-squares estimation techniques to minimize the mean-squared geometric distance between a set of points or rays and a parameterized surface. In modeling tasks, the unknown parameters are the surface coefficients, while in pose and deformation estimation tasks they represent the transformation which maps the observer's coordinate system onto the modeled surface's own coordinate system. We have applied this approach to a variety of real range, computerized tomography and video images

Used 2010 Volvo Wagon Values
Almost no other auto manufacturer has obtained such as a high reputation in the construction of wagons than Volvo. With the Swedish-based auto company's longtime focus on safety, wagons sold by Volvo have proven enticing for upscale families. From the 1980s to the 1990s, Volvo's 200 Series, 700 Series and later the 850 provided spacious interiors. Today, the Volvo wagon line-up is represented by the V60 powered by a turbocharged engine. Observing an increased desirability for all-wheel drive utility vehicles in the late 1990s, Volvo outfitted their V70 wagon with many unique features. Billed as a 'Cross Country' wagon, the V70 XC boasted a higher ride height and thicker floor mats. The cross country wagon was renamed the XC70 and gained more distinguishing lower bodywork.

Delicious Red Lobster's Cheddar Biscuits
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 17 mins
This makes fluffy biscuits because of the cold butter that is added. Found this recipe on GMA
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 3⁄4 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and 1/2 tsp garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.
- Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop.
- Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes.
- Spread the garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits after you take them out of the oven.

Wonderful, my family could not eat these fast enough, just like when we go to Red Lobster!
I jsut made this along with shrimp scampi and OMG they were delicious, just like the ones at Red Lobster, the kids loved them too, excellent. Thanks for posting this recipe.
These biscuits are absolutely delicious! I made a batch today, and forwarded a photo of them, along with this recipe, to my sons. Red Lobster pulled out of these parts a few years ago, so I've missed these little gems.

Eastenders Jim Branning's Favourite Bacon Sarnie, by Lynn Slater
Total Time
Prep 1 min
Cook 6 mins
Great sandwich to eat while watching "As Time Goes By" or "EastEnders".
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 -6 slices of british bacon (or Irish)
- 2 slices white bread
- brown sauce ("HP" is the most famous but "Chef" or "Norfolk Manor" are good brands too)
- Fry the bacon in a pan until crispy.
- Remove the bacon from pan and place on 1 slice of bread.
- Take the other slice of bread and rub it around the pan to pick up any left over bacon juices.
- Spread some brown sauce on the bread you just used to scoop up the juices and place on top of bacon to complete sandwich.
- Eat right away while it's still warm.

The boys in my house turned up their noses when I told them this was lunch. Not anymore, they loved them! I couldn't find the british/irish bacon so used a good large sliced type. Made for PAC fall 2009.
An absolute classic! I must admit to an adjustment due to personal preferences- british bacon is a different and larger cut than American bacon, so I usually use 3 slices per sandwich. I loved the idea of using the bread to mop up the juices. A super sandwich- thanks BBCFan!

Ofcom investigation into Peace TV
Banned: Zakir Naik
Media watchdog Ofcom is investigating UK channel Peace TV for giving a platform to banned Muslim preacher Zakir Naik.
Dr Naik was banned from entering Britain last year by Home Secretary Theresa May after allegedly claiming America was "controlled by the Jews".
An Ofcom spokesman confirmed: "We are in the middle of an investigation about Peace TV.
"Ofcom will not tolerate extremism on British television, and transgressors will be dealt with."
The channel also hosts controversial preacher, Dr Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips, who was banned from entering the UK last June and Sheihk Abdullah Hakim Quick, who has previously called Jews "filth".
Mark Gardner, of the Community Security Trust, said: ""Peace TV features a number of problematic preachers and appears to be yet another Islamist propaganda media outlet."

Owner and Lead Developer at Bad Weasel Games. My tech passion right now is OpenGL and for the past few years I've been building my own 3d/game engine. What I love about OpenGL is that it's old school. I learned programming in the mid-80's actually, which makes me sort of old school I guess. But back then it was all about tricks to make things faster and working around the limitations of the hardware. Think about the fact that game cartridges for Atari 400/800 were only like 8k.
I publish mostly for iOS devices. I've done games and non-game apps that are live on the app store. I've got about a million downloads so far, which I don't feel is nearly enough.

If you are barely breaking a sweat anymore and feel like you are simply going through the motions with your routine -- kick it up a notch! Playing with the inclines and speed will take your mind off of counting down the minutes that pass. It will also make the workout more of a challenge, meaning more calories burned even faster!
Pretty much any activity that gets your blood pumping is cardiovascular. When your heart rate rises, muscle cells break down sugar and fat for fuel, burning calories. Clearly there are a ton of ways to do this, but exercise physiologists lump cardio into three buckets -- long, slow distance (LSD), medium hard (tempo) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

My brother visited last week, spoiling Rocco and us, and when he left Saturday afternoon, there were a few more snacks than usual in the cabinets, a giant pink box of doughnuts on the island and, also, on the counter, this pumpkin. Nashville mid-September, I'm still wearing shorts and sweating, but I see squash and pumpkins and I know it's fall. Oh, fall. I love fall. I'm so excited for it this year. Give me a pumpkin with its muted orange skin and earthy, vegetal flesh, and I'm all piles of leaves and kids trick-or-treating and getting to go for long walks with Rocco in the crisp, cool air. There's so much to look forward to with October around the corner! With observing and interacting with Rocco in his fourth and fifth months of life! And roasting a pumpkin, just this simple kitchen task, gives me both the creamy, savory base for today's sauce and the reminder of other autumns I've lived with other pumpkins, of other autumns yet to come. Maybe this is the whole point of the … [Read more...]

I AM WRITING THIS POST FROM MY DINING ROOM, alongside a giant piece of leftover cake. Tim's gone at a meeting, and I'm facing a front window, from which I have now seen my neighbor add and take things from at least three different people's trash bins this bright and sunny Trash Day, and everything's as quiet as it is in the middle of the night. Actually, I take that last sentence back. The neighbor's terrier just got loose, and a woman walking down the street with her dog just became the middle of a barking, frenzied confrontation. But, ah, the neighbor's wife is coming out! The loose terrier is lolling in the grass and being rubbed! Now, all is quiet again. Last night was my turn to host book club, the first time since we launched this monthly meetup back at the start of the year.

Kabocha Squash Custards (Gluten-Free)
Every time I make my pumpkin pie, which, in our household, is not reserved for the holiday season that is fast approaching, I end up with enough extra pie filling for one little ramekin. And when the two dishes come out of the oven, the pie plate and the ramekin, both of them sitting atop the stove to rest, Tim and I cannot help ourselves from digging into that mini custard, the two of us with spoons, blowing away steam and reveling in the hot and caramelized comfort. So about a month ago or so, it occurred to us: Forget the pie. Why not pour all the filling into ramekins? That's how these kabocha squash custards were born. Here is what you need to do to start: Get yourself a kabocha squash. Do you guys already know about kabocha squash? This squatty gourd, also called Japanese pumpkin, came into our lives this fall, as one of the heavier ingredients in a weekly CSA box. At first, it seemed a clone of butternut or acorn squash---slightly different in appearance … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Cake + Pumpkin Trifle
Exactly one year ago today, Tim and I were up in the Chicago suburbs, driving out to the DuPage County courthouse to lift up our hands and solemnly swear that we were who we said we were and get the nice lady in the sea of cubicles to hand us our marriage license, our marriage license! I remember walking out of that building, into the crowded parking lot, hand in hand with Tim and thinking, our marriage license! It's official now! Not just in terms of a giant dress in the closet and a chalkboard seating chart, but, as in, according to the government, we're actually about to do this thing. Three days from now, we're getting hitched! I know I've said this here before, but, seriously, there are so many more details involved with planning a wedding than I ever would have imagined, and, when you plan your wedding fast, like we did in six months, you learn to scrap a lot of those details in the name of staying sane---like a wedding cake maybe.

The Perfect Crustless Quiche
February 17 was a big day for my family this year. Not only was it my mom's birthday, but it also was the first time they came to visit Nashville. Ever! And while I've been wanting my parents to visit ever since I first moved last February, I'll be the first to admit that in the valley of a few weeks ago, it felt a little impossible. So I'm thankful to say that in fact, we had a busy four days, filled with many moments where I'd look at Tim and say, I'm not in pain!, amidst marathons of Downton Abbey, antiquing in Franklin, a visit to the gym and grabbing them Olive & Sinclair chocolate-dipped popsicles at Hot and Cold. It all started when they arrived early Friday morning, having braved a 6 AM flight to get here, and so we had a birthday breakfast waiting---and the star of that show was this quiche. Here are the reasons I like this quiche: 1) You don't have to make a pie crust. It's not that I have anything against pie crust (especially not this foolproof one!); it's just that … [Read more...]
Soft & Chewy Salted Caramel
Two years ago, I made my dad caramels for his birthday. They were hard and crunchy, like gold-wrapped Werther's, the kind that would crack like glass when you bit them. While I'd been after something a little more chewy that time, since that's how Dad likes them most, it turned out candy-making could be something of an art, especially when you were new to it, so all I could muster were those smooth caramel stones, best for placing between your tongue and the roof of your mouth and slowly melting away. I gave them to him, presenting them proudly, and I put my candy thermometer away. But then this year, when Tim and I were up visiting a few months ago, talking to my dad in the kitchen about dinner plans or about something we'd baked, Dad, almost out of nowhere, asked if I'd thought about trying caramels again. Maybe soft and chewy this time? he'd asked, hopefully, like it would really mean something to him if I could. Now I know a lot of people would say their dad is … [Read more...]
Pear Custard Pie in Spelt Pie Crust
Once upon a time, a girl decided to surprise her boyfriend for the weekend. It's a classic story: she booked a plane ticket, got his friends involved and, hardest of all, fought to keep from spilling the beans beforehand. There were two months of wait time from idea to fruition, which meant lots of vague conversations and deceptive communication meant to throw him off along the way. But finally, early November came. She made phone plans with him for the day she was to arrive—or really, and maybe she should have seen this as a clue or as the thing we'd call foreshadowing in English class, he made phone plans with her, to cook something at the same time, from their separate cities. When she'd talked about her blog and how she'd been lacking inspiration for it (as those of you on Facebook know all about), he'd suggested this idea, and she'd said, Something with pears! Because they'll be on sale! And she'd laughed to herself the whole time thinking, aha! he has no idea I'm … [Read more...]

Steeler's Ryan Clark Says "No One" Wants to Play for the Miami Dolphins
While most of America was belligerently chanting about the luck of the Irish this weekend, one Ireland was having what might have been the worst weekend of his professional life: Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland. He officially lost Peyton Manning, and then he missed out on Matt Flynn too.
Now, Steelers player Ryan Clark has took to Twitter to say that "no one" wants play for the Dolphins, and hinted that Ireland is to blame.
During a Twitter binge last night, Clark retweeted a message saying, "No kidding! NO ONE wants to go to the Dolphins!" and added, "No one! To believe I almost went there but it was easy decision not to. GM."
When Dolfans protested it was a low blow, Clark proclaimed, "It's my honest opinion. Not a good guy making decisions."

Clark also retweeted a Tweet from Sport Illustrated's Peter King, saying "Talked to Flynn. Said a big factor in Sea over Mia was vibe in the building in Seattle: 'The coaches, the staff--they were fantastic.'''
As if it wasn't obvious Clark was making jibes at Ireland, Clark answered a question directly about Ireland. "What did Ireland do to you? Ask if your mom was a prostitute?" a follower asked.
"No he asked someone else that," Clark replied, referring to Ireland's legendarily ham-handed question to Dez Bryant last year.
"Done w talk of the Dolphins. Good luck to their team. Their are some good men working hard to win games ON the field," Clark concluded before moving on.
And Ireland certainly isn't ON the field.
In a column this morning, King, the SI writer retweeted by Clark, ran down the most baffling decisions made by the Dolphins in the past decade plus.
Most of those pre-date Ireland: hiring Nick Saban, passing on Mike Tomlin, passing on Drew Brees, letting Wes Walker go.
To his credit, Ireland hasn't made that sort of head-scratcher yet. He brings a whole new type of sucking to the Dolfins: the botched pursuit. It seems he knows who to target, he just can't hit the target very often. Under Ireland the team has missed out on bringing in coaches Jim Harbaugh and Jeff Fisher and now quarterbacks Manning and Flynn. None of those involved are going to publicly say so, but there's enough indications that the prospect of working with Ireland wasn't exactly enticing enough to anyone.

NOAA's National Climate Data Center has released their report on global land surface and ocean surface temperatures for the month of February. February 2014 ended up being the coldest February since 1994.
However, February 2014 ended up tying February 2001 for the 21st warmest February on record. So even though it was the coldest since 1994, it ended up in the top 25 for warmest Februaries on record. NOAA attributes part of this to the frigid land surface temperatures over North America and western Asia during the month. The February global departure from average ended up being 1.84ºF colder than the January 2014 departure from average! So if you thought January was cold, February ended up being even colder! The data from NOAA can be found here.

Application deadlines, important documents and more information is available here.
Incomings from Developing and Emerging Countries
Every year around 180 people from around the world participate in the Incoming Programme of the Friends of Waldorf Education. The Incoming Programme offers foreign young people the opportunity to complete a voluntary service in Germany. Volunteers of all different ages learn and help in anthroposophical and Waldorf pedagogical host institutions throughout Germany. The Incoming programme is therefore an important contribution to global exchange and offers the framework for transcultural education by means of international encounters in the day to day lives of individuals.
This has a special meaning for young people from so called developing and emerging countries. The international voluntary service offers them, in the context of diverse exchange, the opportunity for examination of similarities and differences in the social, ecological, economical, and political conditions of both countries. Likewise the service gives host institutions the opportunity for intercultural development and contributes to further awareness raising in Germany too.
The project "International Incoming Volunteer Service" provides for such an exchange: as a comprehensive programme based on the foundations of the volunteer service year, it is directed at young women and men from these specific countries and offer volunteers and host institutions extensive supportive measures provided by the National Ministry for Seniors, Women and Youth and the National Office for Familial and Civic Duties.
Likewise supporting organisations and their worldwide partners are supported in their work towards education for sustainable development. Furthermore through the association "Learning and Helping Oversees" a diversified civic participation is ensured. After the pilot phase from August/September 2015, the Friends plan for further development of this new programme.

A judge has scheduled a Monday afternoon hearing to decide if Fossella, a Democratic congressman for more than a decade, was so drunk he should be slapped with a five-day jail sentence.
Fossella was arrested after running a red light on May 1 in a Virginia suburb of Washington, and convicted of drunken driving in October. Under Virginia law, a driver who registers a blood alcohol content of 0.15 or higher must serve five days behind bars. Police say Fossella's blood alcohol content was 0.17.
The arrest led to revelations that Fossella who has a wife and three children in his home district of Staten Island also had a young daughter with a former Air Force officer.
Fossella decided not to seek re-election this year, and a Democrat won his seat. Now, Fossella faces the prospect of ending his once-promising political career with a stint in the slammer.
Judge Becky Moore of Alexandria General District Court has received pre-sentencing arguments from both sides.
In court papers, Fossella's lawyer, Jerry Phillips, contends the machine the police used to test Fossella's blood alcohol content was faulty and for that reason he should not face jail time.
The lawyer is asking the judge to sentence Fossella to a suspended jail sentence, an alcohol safety course and a one-year suspension of his driver's license in Virginia.
Prosecutor David Lord dismissed the contention there was anything wrong with Fossella's intoxication test results, and suggested Fossella may have pounded drinks just before getting behind the wheel, which would have led to his 0.17 reading on the machine.
"It is a reasonable inference that if a person 'slams' or rapidly consumes alcohol immediately before leaving a bar, the suspect will experience a rising BAC at the time of arrest," Lord argued, referring to the blood alcohol level.

Mitt Romney on Why He Doesn't Care About Ann's Horse: 'It's Ann's Horse'
Matt Lauer reminds him that having your wife's horse in the Olympics is a "big deal."
Even after Matt Lauer reminded Mitt Romney that it is human custom to be at least vaguely excited when your wife's horse is competing in the Olympics, Romney remained steadfast in his dedication to not appearing to care about fancy horse ballet on the Today show this morning. "It's Ann's horse, she's the horse guy," he seems to say, referring to his wife as a guy.

"Creature of Love" is also the name of the band's latest EP, which the band celebrated with a show at Mad Planet last month.

North Harbour professional Michael Hendry has fired a
two-under par 70 in the sixth and final round of the final
stage of qualifying to finish tied for 26th and secure a full
card for the 2013 season on the Japan Golf Tour.
The 33-year-old, who has played on the OneAsia and PGA Tour
of Australasia for the past three years, will join fellow New
Zealander David Smail, who has been on the Japan Tour for the
past 15 seasons.
Hendry had rounds of 69, 73, 70, 71, 68 and 70 for a six
round 11-under par total at the Cocopa Resort that was 11
shots back from the eventual winner and good enough to secure
full status.
"Japan here I come!" Hendry said on Facebook.
"Just finished 26th at Q School giving me full status for
next year. Yeah Boi!"
It continues a fine season for Hendry in 2012. He began the
year by winning the New Zealand PGA Pro-Am at The Hills,
finished fourth at the ISPS Perth Invitational and tied for
10th at the New Zealand Open in Christchurch recently.
Hendry currently leads the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of
Merit from Australian Adam Scott after earning $206,833.42
(AU) from seven events in 2012.

Life Man Eater
It's now time to give Anna Nicole Smith a little thought.
She is our Shiva. She is the universe. As the universe creates and destroys; she creates and destroys. It is an awesome power. The men who get too close to her breath, breasts, body are vaporized like bones in a furnace.
Granted the billionaire, J. Howard Marshall II, she married in 1994 was 89, and so his death, which almost immediately followed their marriage, seems hardly surprising. But what about the billionaire's stepson, E. Pierce Marshall, Smith's courtroom adversary? He unexpectedly died in July at the age of 67. And then, even more unexpectedly, her son dropped dead at only 20. Age doesn't matter when it comes to Smith. Which is why the distance between her and the dead billionaire, or even between her dead son and newborn daughter, was so great. With Smith, the male order of grandfather, father, son is voided.
Smith's son came into the world with nothing and left nothing in the world. He has been entirely consumed by his life-devouring/life-giving mother.

working on an MVC 3 app. I have finished my custom server side code, now working on the client side. I want to tie it in to the existing unobtrusive, so I am using the addMethod. The pseudo goes something like, " If the radioValue is true, then the counterValue must be greater than zero." The problem is, my function stops running at the 3rd line, when trying to get the radioValue. It throws a generic exception "Check you method". Please advise. Oh, and this is my first time doing this, so if you see anything, please let me know. Thanks!
$.validator.addMethod("requiredifyes", function (val, elem, param) {
