Montalba Architects
modern proportions
John Linden
Duravit is Montalba's preferred brand for bath fixtures. With dual-flush, wall-hung toilets, bidets, sinks, and bath furniture, the German company offers myriad sizes, styles, and configurations. "Duravit gets it right in terms of proportions, beauty, and functionality and it's the perfect white—spiritual but modern in its consistent clean look," the architect says. Duravit, 770.931.3575; www.duravit.us.
lever, italian style
The Italian manufacturer is known for producing high-design architectural solid brass hardware. Montalba likes the H 329 Serie RB Novantacinque, which is available in various configurations. With a spring-assist built-in rosette, the product accommodates all standard and some custom backset dimensions. Valli & Valli, 212.326.8811; www.vallivalli-us.com.
fit to be tight
Montalba turns to Duratherm when he wants a modern window made from a traditional material—wood. The company fabricates its windows with frame depths of up to 10 inches and continuous extruded-silicone weather stripping. Duratherm Window Corp., 800.996.5558; www.durathermwindow.com.
light catcher
A fan of natural light, Montalba often specs Fleetwood Windows & Doors' 3070 and 1000 series sliding doors. "The frames are thin and relatively minimal so we can capture the most light, the most view, and their ease of use is unmatched," he says. Features include 1-inch clear glass and a bronze spacer.

SO, I know that's a pretty grand title, and believe me, I'll get to that point. But to begin I have to explain the thought process that led me there.
I've had the idea for a while now that my life would be considerably better if I could fully control my own actions, based solely on reasonable decisions. However, this doesn't seem to be the current case. The other day, after having eaten half a pizza, I still had the other half left. I KNEW that: the calories would worsen my already burgeoning weight problem, that my girlfriend would be mad that I didn't save her dinner, and that there would be shame in my own lack of self control if I ate the pizza. I was even full, and knew that it would cause me some discomfort to carry the extra food around. But the smell of that cheese and pepperoni was too much, and I ate it anyways.
The ultimate result was worse than if I'd just put the half back in the fridge. I knew it was an unreasonable choice and that the end would be bad, but I made that decision anyways. And as an atheist, I find it very disturbing that I can't even enforce my own reason on myself. I've seen the same pattern evolve with homework, getting up in the morning, exercise, cleaning, masturbation, even things like my work. The immediate reward of procrastinating, eating, laying there, etc is overwhelmingly chosen, and I don't even usually like the outcome
I feel that if I were somehow able to force myself to make the "correct" choices, my life would be better. I'd be healthier, I'd be fit, I'd go to bed on time, I'd get better grades, I'd live in a spotless apartment, and I'd have more money. There is no question that overriding my base desires would (a vast majority of the time) improve my life.
So now I admit, the title was just to catch your eye- it is a far reaching extension of my own observations about myself. It is a bit of a reach to assume that just this is the source of "man's suffering". But I do still pose the question- how can one overcome these short term, self-destructive, basic desires, these urges, in order to undoubtedly improve your life?
Tags: self-control, urges
Don't worry- she wasn't really all that disappointed. The pizza was my lunch and she wasn't all that excited about having reheated pizza for dinner. I think I just added the part about her being disappointed to exaggerate the "badness" of what I was doing. If in reality it would have made her upset, I would definitely have saved it. The consequences of eating the entire thing were minor and not immediate; I think that maybe I just need to lower my threshold for acceptable misbehavior.
You are missing the point - you let her decide if she wants it or not - and in the bigger picture, carry on with everything else, she won't be around for long anyway :(
I don't get the impression he is missing the point. The purpose of his examples was just to serve as an illustration of his thought process, not to demonstrate that he was some train wreck of a person who needed us to sort him out. I think he was trying to clarify that people are reading too deeply into the example provided. The pizza affair? Not a life event.
For all we know, his life could be ninety percent on track, and he's just a mindful person contemplating that other ten percent. Then again, for all we know he could be a total slob. Either way I don't think that was the point of the thread.
None of us live our lives as perfectly as reason would allow. None of us. As in not one. So why not? Why do you and Lee and I act against reason and our own self interest from time to time?
I believe that was the point of the thread. If you cannot find examples analogous the pizza affair in your own life, I will concede a very marginal possibility that there are none, but more likely than not, you just aren't digging.
I actually agree with you. It's fine to have your pleasures if you do it responsibly. Then, they're not destructive.
When you're young you can afford to squander your time. When you get older you realise you've got no time left, and the last thing you want to do is waste your rapidly dwindling days.
Urges can be a source of suffering. Urges can also be a source of motivation to complete a goal it jsut depends on how you use them. Here are a few things that help me deal with urges:
- Get a stack of post-it notes and a pen and write yourself reminders and stick them in places you will read them... like on the bathroom mirror or front door.
- To keep myself from over eating I package my food into serving size quantities and then use those post-it notes to write for example: "Tuesday Lunch." It helps to invest in some nice reusable containers that are serving sized.
- I make deals with myself. It sounds silly but I tell myself 1 hour of studying set a timer and then I get to watch that show or bum around on the internet for a while.
- I like Heather's suggestion for cleaning, give yourself 5, 10, 15 minutes and clean as much as you can in that amount of time each day. It really does make a difference.
You have already identified things that you'd like to change. The next step is to make these things a priority and create new habits. Don't bite off more than you can chew though. Don't think you are going to go from overeating and sitting around to going to the gym 5 days a week. Don't think your house is suddenly going to be spotless. Take it a step at a time.
Moderation and discipline. Longed for but rarely attained. An idle mind is the devil's playground so to speak. Avoid the couch or easy chair like the plague and immerse yourself in physical activities. For myself keeping a small vineyard and large vegetable garden going provides many opportunities to stay in shape. Being outdoors is key for me. That way I'm not in the house looking at food.
All things in moderation, including moderation --
Is this advice any use to you? Decide what your goals are (say, for the day), and once those are achieved, you're free to do as you wish.
Only unfulfilled ones - juevos azule, I think is the technical term --
OK, smart alec, what does juevos azule mean? Talk about running to the dictionary!!!!
Literally, blue eggs, but I think it is actually a testicular reference.

Vaio is now a separate company to Sony, but its first two laptops are familiar for more than their name.
Originally $800, this refurbished 11.6-inch tablet includes a keyboard, kickstand, and 128GB SSD.
Sony has today announced a recall on selected VaioFit Laptops due to an internal issue with the lithium-ion battery that can cause it to overheat.
The company believes the flaw exists in the nonremovable battery packs in the Vaio Fit 11A hybrid laptop-tablet, which launched in February.
Miss a few stories this week? We'll bring you up to speed with this rundown of all the tech news.
Sony will be selling its Vaio laptop business to an investment fund, cutting 5000 jobs and splitting its TV business into a subsidiary. In addition, it will cease its e-reader business in the US.
The most important things to know when shopping for a new laptop, hybrid, or Windows tablet.
Sony's new 11-inch Windows 8 tablet comes with a stylus and a free copy of Photoshop Elements.
Stanford University scientists have developed a lithium-ion battery that warns users long before it overheats and explodes.
The move, made because of market demand, "isn't necessarily reflective of conditions in other markets," Samsung said. The company's US presence is unaffected by the move.

The deal: Colby Rasmus and relievers P.J. Walters, Brian Tallet and Trever Miller to the Toronto Blue Jays in a multi-player package including starting pitcher Edwin Jackson, relievers Octavio Dotel and Marc Rzepczynski and outfielder Corey Patterson.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't mind that he's gone, certainly he and TLR can't co-exist at this point. I just thought we'd get a lot more. The bullpen help will be nice, for sure. I'm conflicted on Patterson. He'll add some speed and outfield depth and I'm excited for Jon Jay who seems to have won the starting CF job fair and square.
Mozeliak is in win-now mode it seems.

Hayes Disc Brake Adapter 20mm Boxxer Fork
Adapts 51mm International Standard 20mm Thru-axle Rock Shox Boxxer forks to work with Hayes MC74 calipers on an 8" rotor.
PERFECT WAY TO FIX A PAIN IN THE REAR PROBLEM WITH FORK MANUFACTURERS! I bought two Rock Shox BOXXERS for two DH bikes I have and why Rock Shox would sell a DH fork with a six inch rotor hole pattern, I don't know, but I needed a fix for the problem as my brake calipers would not line up to my 8 inch fork. After calling pricepoint and speaking with Joe, he hooked me up with these bad boys! I bought them for my two bikes and fixed the problem. They're super light weight alloy, and the large hole size allows for much better alignment of my disk brake calipers over the rotor left to right and up and down so that the disc can be centered in the middle of my brake pads perfectly on all sides so there is no rubbing while riding. Priced well too.

Blue and Red Floral Ceramic Knobs, Set of 2
Love these, look and work great. Also speedy delivery, you know when you want something you want it now that's the age we live in now!
July 13, 2013
These door knobs are large enough for my husbands large hands to grab. We chose the color for the cabinet paint from the blue on the door knobs.
January 25, 2013
These cute little guys changed the whole look of my old metal cabinets! Even though I got a HUGE cut installing them....or maybe just a tiny scratch. :)
January 9, 2013
jazzed up my bedroom
They are the first thing yoy notice when entering my room. Love them.
November 2, 2010
Love these!
I loved these from the moment that I saw them in the store. They are bigger knobs, so I thought that they would be perfect for my pantry doors in my kitchen. Well, after I bought them, I tried to install them and the screw wasn't long enough. So, I had to go to a hardware store and buy longer ones that would work. I still love them and get compliments about them. I still consider this a great buy!
January 16, 2011
A bit too large for my purpose
These knobs are definitely excellent quality and beautiful, however, they are HUGE! I cannot use them where anticipated because of their large size, but kept they anyway because the price was right and they are definitely well made and lovely.

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I spotted a NEW (insert make/model) today!
tifighter WAPosts: 1,402The Model S is everywhere here in the Bay Area now. I don't know if its because they are built down the road or if its the carpool lane access, but I see them pretty much daily now. Always black, grey, silver or white. I've only seen that dark red once, which is odd as it looks great in that color. Almost always driven by women, FWIW.
More impressive was the recent street sighting of an honest-to-god Audi sport quattro SWB in white. Not the earlier standard car, but the shorter homologation special for group B that was never sold in the US. These were originally made in response to the Lancia 037 and Delta S4 rally success in the mid eighties. 84 or 85 I suppose complete with the original weird proportions. Older guy driving it, and must have recently imported it now that it falls outside the 25 year rule. Genuinely impressed; I rarely do double takes on cars but this was special.15 Leaf / 08 RDX
fintail Posts: 34,742I've seen numerous Model S in the showy eastside Seattle suburb where I live, too. There's even a dealer in my local mall.
This morning saw a new unplated C63, rental Altima and Malibu, and the dentist across the street is driving an A8 loaner car.
A Sport Quattro would be amazing to see in the US, I would fall out of my chair. Expensive piece of history, ttoo. -
anythngbutgm Posts: 4,187Spotted this morning, looked like a Touring model, White (Good Color btw). Also a few new Accord Coupes and new 2014 RAV4 in Silver.
My neighbor has a new Avalon in his driveway this week. This guy had a pair of current Gen Impalas, a Caddy SRX and an Aveo (2 person household btw). Now he's down to the one Impy and the other 2.
Also noticed a new Explorer sporting quad exhaust tips yesterday. I don't think this is a stock addon so must've been aftermarket. Looked neat tho.
Oh, and then there was the H2 HUMMER on the median with a missing front wheel. I thought GM took care of that recall a few years ago. Oh snap! :lemon: -
boomchek Vancouver, BC, CanadaPosts: 5,215I saw a red Tesla S with a dealer plate in a very industrial area a few weeks ago. I didn't know they were out already.
Speaking of electric cars, I see a lot more on the road lately, especially ones used by municipalities. Yesterday saw a Nissan Leaf being charged at City Hall when I went to pay my property taxes and on the road saw one of those tall narrow Mitsubishi iMievs. Quite a few Volts around too in Vancouver, I see one almost every day somewhere.2007 BMW 328i Sports Pkg
stickguy Posts: 16,110the new civic did not seem as bad as the prior generation (in terms of seats), but that is a huge issue for me on many cars, looking at the "cheap" version vs. the "premium" version.
8 way power seats are so much better in most case than the cheap manual ones you see now (with the single lever ratchet the basically dumps you forward as you raise it) that I have eliminated a bunch of cars (Civic, Mazda3) in the past simply because I could not get the seats adjusted at a comfortable angle.2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4i Limited Tech (mine), 2013 Acura RDX (wife's) and 2007 Volvo S40 (daughters college car)
stickguy Posts: 16,110did that 2 weeks ago. Love to do it. Your need for for a pano roof does narrow down the choices though.
I did find that Honda has rebounded from losing their way recently. the new civic was nice, and the Accord a big improvement.2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4i Limited Tech (mine), 2013 Acura RDX (wife's) and 2007 Volvo S40 (daughters college car)
stickguy Posts: 16,110so just a hatch? I feel you there. IN a small car, I want one of those too.
they should make a new integra. Considering how small it is, the moonroof seems like a pano (it is a pretty big panel, but seems huge in relation to how small the roof is!)2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4i Limited Tech (mine), 2013 Acura RDX (wife's) and 2007 Volvo S40 (daughters college car)
fintail Posts: 34,742Saw an RX F-Sport this morning, possibly the most ironic car on the market. Also a new privately owned Fusion, and a C-Max.
Speaking of Lexus, many weeks ago on facebook they hinted at an IS Sportcross, with an announcement scheduled for Jan 14th (I think). Today, still nothing. Sad, one of the few worthwhile models they have made, and they botch it.
Saw a Tesla roadster last night. -
anythngbutgm Posts: 4,187Spotted a pair of identically colored C-Maxes at Trader Joes one morning. One leaving the parking lot, while the other was coming up the road behind it. Neat looking buggy.
Also, went to one of those touchless car washs and there were 3 bays, and a total of 10 cars in those bays or waiting in line. 6 of them were new CR-V's... Wow, has that thing taken off.
Also an odd event this morning, It was like Noahs Ark at one of the stoplights near work. A pair of Corollas, a Pair of Escapes, a pair of Accords, a Pair of Fiat 500's, and a Pair of Tacomas all leaving the stop light. Then 2 pairs of Civics at a light further down my commute...
On a side note, great game last night, too bad the 9'ers didn't come back all the way to win. And a double murderer gets the glorious storybook ending... :lemon: -
fintail Posts: 34,742There's a new CRV in my workplace parking garage. The woman who owns it leaves around the same time I do, and several times I have watched her back out, very amusing. She will creep out at probably under 1mph, slowly turning, usually having to stop and re-aim the car. Every time. I wonder if visibility is bad in them, or the camera (I assume standard) is hard for some people to interpret. She's also probably about 5'1", which might add to it. I've never actually driven on a street behind her, and I should probably be thankful for that.
anythngbutgm Posts: 4,187lol, ya being 5' 1" probably doesn't help, but the rear visibility isn't great. One thing Honda did this time around which is dissapointing is shrink the rear window height. They are also ridiculously tinted... The backup camera is great when backing in, but I don't know how helpful it would be backing out because it is aimed more towards the ground and the view gets kinda skewed as you look further back from the bumper.
fintail Posts: 34,742She'd be better off to back in - seems most good drivers I know do it that way. There's cautious, and there's overdoing it. I can back my car in without hitting the brake or even turning my head, I just use mirrors.
But I will excuse her as the tall wagon is relatively new, and probably has visibility issues relative to a normal car.

4 A missed opotunitydickiep | 26/07/2012 | See all dickiep's reviews (137)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer I read another review stating that I have reviewed every Beatles album and gone on about the mixes, I have not, I have reviewed just five, two Abbey road and the White album I make no comments on the stereo mix because it is great. The yellow submarine song-track I praised for a brilliant mix. Now back in the sixties stereo was a fad, and as has been stated time and time again, the Beatles had no involvement with these mixes so like many i was so hoping that this primative stereo mixing would be sorted out, but to my great dissapointment it has not. This is such a shame I was so looking forward to these re issued remasters and can't understand why this has not been corrected. It is possible and George Martin did re balance these albums but they were rejected by Apple. On the yellow submarine songtrack the songs were all balanced with voices in the centre and they sounded great. As this has not been done you really do have to question if it is worth re buying the early albums. The music is still great but what a missed opotunity. Now many will say this is how they are suposed to sound, well my argument here is that even john Lennon went on record saying "I can't understand why the vocals were on oine channel and instrument son the other". By the time Rubber soul came along th eBeales had been recording on four track equipment, and bouncing down, a term where you cobine tacks together so you have another spare. Now only a few tracks on rubber soul required this, listen to nowhere Man on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack, it sounds fantastic, full and vibrant. Nothing was lost in the sound all that happend was the instruments and voices were placed correctly in the stereo spectrum. All in all the best re-issue would have been a remaster of the stereo version, a Mono mix and then a rebalanced stereo mix, keeping everyone happy. I just have a feeling in ten years time this may well happen. Rubber soul maybe one of the best Beatles albums but in this day of headphones and I players its a very difficult mix to listen too what a shame
5 The Beatles Rubber Soulhighbri | 06/09/2009 | See all highbri's reviews (2)Just the best album ever! The Beatles at their best.No more to say.
3 Classic remasterTCBseller78 | 13/04/2011 | See all TCBseller78's reviews (13)This is were the beatles started to mature and less poppy. Great album but not solid through out, there are a few track that are just dull and lifeless (Michelle,What Goes On,Girl), but then there are some classics (Drive My Car,Norwegian Wood,Nowhere Man). The next 5 albums they did were classics through out though!
5 MasterpieceCarlJD1 | 02/10/2009 | See all CarlJD1's reviews (7)This album doesn't sound drastically different to the original CD release, however it is much easier to pick out individual sounds (e.g. a cough at the beginning of 'You won't see me'.Definately one of their best albums.

It's a long way from Las Vegas to Lancaster, but Rob Petrucci, 42, and his family packed up and made the trip to start his new job as director of Lancaster County Emergency Medical Services. His first day was June 15. Coming here was not as big a leap as you might think. Petrucci found his calling while he was doing undergraduate studies at California-Polytechnical College in San Luis Obispo, Calif. He got involved with the EMS there, and has been at it ever since.
There will be several changes to the work schedules for the city of Lancaster's court employees – moves that are said to improve services and provide more accessibility. Municipal Court Administrator Darlene Whitley proposed that all of the department's employees move to a four-day, 10-hour-per-day work week. That allows a judge to be off on either on Monday or Friday, giving that person a three-day weekend.
Tuesday wasn't the first time the Rev. Wayne Murray approached City Council with a host of concerns regarding hospitality tax grant funding. Murray is chairman of Hope on the Hill, a youth-service organization that is renovating the old Barr Street High School auditorium and gymnasium to be used as a multi-purpose community center. Though Hope on the Hill has received $125,000 from the city in the past, he was disappointed the organization had been turned down for funding multiple times since then.
After months of disagreements and debate about the enforcement of a code for dangerous animals, Lancaster County Council finally settled on a revised ordinance Monday night. Before voting, council discussed the issue at length along with Lancaster resident Derek Smith, who has appeared before council several times over the last five months to oppose the revision. Smith maintains the newly worded ordinance would be detrimental to animal owners.
One of the candidates who ran for the District 16 state Senate seat has since moved back outside the district.
Rob McCoy, who sought the Republican nomination, has changed his permanent address from Lancaster to Heath Springs, according to the S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles.
He completed an application for voter registration form from the DMV, requesting a change to 2460 Fork Hill Road in Heath Springs.
The form was signed Feb. 28 – six days after Greg Gregory won the District 16 primary.
Lancaster County officials provided more details last week for a plan to relocate the offices of at least six county departments.
During Lancaster County Council's March 1 meeting, county staff narrowed down plans for moving around several departments and groups, including the assessor's office, finance department and the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. (LCEDC).
The discussion began last month as council discussed what to do with the LCEDC, whose building on West Gay Street is prone to mold and water leaks.
The total cost for improvements at the city of Lancaster's wastewater treatment plant has gone up, though officials say the increase will save the city a lot of money in the future.
Mack McDonald, the city's public utilities director, gave an update on work at the plant during City Council's meeting Tuesday night.
Turner Murphy Construction of Rock Hill is installing four new 150-horsepower effluent pumps, which send wastewater from the Lockwood Lane treatment plant to the Catawba River.
The Lancaster Fire Department has set a start date of April 4 for its semi-annual fire hydrant testing throughout the city limits.
The testing will continue throughout April and May.
All city fire hydrants will be tested to ensure they operate properly and produce the required water pressure when needed to fight fires.
The hydrant testing must be done during normal operating hours.
It is impossible to know in advance where or when testing will take place in any specific area.
More than 120 county residents gathered at the Rich Hill Volunteer Fire Department on Friday night to organize opposition to a proposed solid waste landfill in the Flat Creek area. Billed as the first meeting of the Lancaster County Action Council, residents gathered to oppose the idea of changing the use of the Mineral Mining Landfill off S.C. 903 from a construction and demolition landfill to a solid waste landfill.
HEATH SPRINGS – A project to permanently honor past military servicemen and woman is coming along well, organizers say. David Williams of the Heath Springs Veterans Association gave Heath Springs Town Council an update Tuesday on plans for a veterans monument at the corner where the old water tower stood, facing North Main Street. The veterans association formed a special committee about 18 months ago to began planning for the granite monument, which will feature names of late Lancaster County residents who served in any branch of the military.

The oven would not ignite fire. Adell J. • Dolton, IL • April 09, 2014 My Repair & Advice Simply removed the igniter, replaced it with the new one. Was this review helpful to you?

Baking element in a built in oven needed replacement Dale S. • Erie, PA • December 06, 2014 My Repair & Advice Removed the old element and installed the replacement that was ordered online from you. Was this review helpful to you?
One of the two springs which control the oven door (closed/open/broil) broke without the two springs the oven door would barely stay shut and when opened fall like a heavy rock William B. • Clarkston, WA • September 06, 2014 Appliance: Model MAGIC CHEF S68D-3CXW My Repair & Advice I moved the oven from its custom slot in the counter, unplugged it, and then took a battery powered screwdriver and removed all 14 screws which hold all of the sheet metal together, and retrieved both the broken and unbroken springs. I got on the phone locally, as I start locally (and live in a small town in southeastern Washington), and could find no springs AND was also told they were no longer made. I went to the internet, found AppliancePartsPros, and VOILA!-ordered two replacement springs, which I installed in less than 15 minutes when I received them. I am GLAD that AppliancePartsPros is around, as this stove was made in 1976. Was this review helpful to you?

To score lenses in a way that makes sense from a photographic perspective, we have chosen to evaluate them using a set of 5 common photographic use cases, each with its own use case score: Travel & Family Score, Portrait & Studio Score, Sports & Wild-life Score, Reportage Score, and Landscape & Architecture Score.
In addition to covering the entire photo-space with respect to focal lengths and aperture ranges, we have defined performance criteria for 5 key lens metrics for each use case: resolution, distortion, vignetting, transmission and chromatic aberration. And for each of these performance metrics, we indicate the threshold to gain one star. A lens can thus receive up to 5 stars for each use case.
Overview of DxOMark use case requirements:
Use case |
Photographic requirements |
Travel & Family |
Medium- to high-power zoom. Reasonable quality. |
Portrait & Studio |
Fixed or low-power zoom with medium-range focal (50 to 150mm), wide aperture, high resolution. |
Sports & Wildlife |
Long to very long telephoto, medium zoom range. Very high speed (high aperture) and very high resolution. |
Reportage |
Medium-range zoom and medium wide-angle prime lenses; high speed, high resolution. |
Landscape & Architecture |
Wide-angle (prime and zooms) up to 35mm. Very high resolution, low distortion. |
When traveling or enjoying family events, the shooting opportunities are quite broad both indoors and out: landscapes, portraits, group shots, close-ups when sightseeing; and the field of view requirement is very broad, from wide-angle to long telephoto. For this type of use, photographers typically look for a high-power zoom with a good trade-off between all image quality parameters.
The image quality criteria to consider for this use case are:
This category encompasses all photographic uses in which light and subjects are generally under the control of the photographer. Lighting is most frequently artificial (tungsten, daylight fluorescent, xenon, flash) and rarely natural, except when large bay or ceiling windows are available. So for most studio environments, the light level is not a problem and the color temperature can be controlled with filtering techniques.
The subject is typically at a reasonable distance from the camera (generally 1 to 5 meters). Given these conditions, photographers tend to use medium focal-length lenses (50 to 150 mm).
The image quality criteria to consider for this use case are:
Shooting sporting events typically requires long or very long telephoto lenses (at least 120 mm). Fast lenses (at least f/4) are preferred; for example, photographers commonly choose a 400mm f/2.8 lens to shoot sports taking place on large fields (e.g., soccer, rugby, baseball, and football).
Wide apertures are important for two principal reasons:
Wildlife photography often involves capturing moving animals from a distance, which equates to somewhat similar lens constraints as for sports (long focal length, high aperture).
The image quality criteria to consider for this use case are:
Reportage includes all forms of photography that tell a story related to people's lives. Wedding photography, photojournalism, street photography, documentary and war photography all fall into this category.
With reportage, photographers typically need a zoom of at least 2.5X, with a field of view ranging from wide-angle to medium telephoto.
The image quality criteria to consider for this use case are:
This use case relies on using short focal lenses, as photographers need to capture an entire structure or landscape, or sometimes must include the surroundings of the main subject of interest. The constraints on distortion and vignetting are quite acute; the sharpness should be good as well. Aperture and transmission may be less of a concern, given that high depth of field is often required and that such scenarios are staged mostly outdoors.
The image quality criteria to consider for this use case are:
The table below summarizes the "star threshold" for each use case:
Use case |
Resolution |
Transmission |
Distortion |
Vignetting |
Travel & Family |
≥ 45 lp/mm |
≤ 10 µm |
≤ f/4 |
≤ 0.4% |
≥ -0.7 Ev |
Portrait & Studio |
≥ 50 lp/mm |
≤ 7.5 µm |
≤ f/3.2 |
≤ 0.5% |
≥ -0.6 Ev |
Sport & Wildlife |
≥ 50 lp/mm |
≤ 7.5 µm |
≤ f/3.2 |
≤ 0.7% |
≥ -1.0 Ev |
Reportage |
≥ 50 lp/mm |
≤ 7.5 µm |
≤ f/2.8 |
≤ 0.4% |
≥ -1.0 Ev |
Landscape & Architecture |
≥ 60 lp/mm |
≤ 7.5 µm |
≤ f/11 |
≤ 0.2% |
≥ -0.3 Ev |
The star-based score for lenses featuring a focal length, an aperture, or another quality metric outside the specified ranges for a given use case is reduced proportionally in order to avoid setting strict limits on the use cases. In this way, we can score lenses even if they do not strictly correspond to our criteria.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Launched in spring 2010, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR was a very good surprise for Nikon enthusiasts who previously had only a choice between the very good but expensive (and heavy) AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED and the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED. |

text: 5 Ubeatable! - Information belowPosted: 30/09/2009I've always been someone who loves their sound quality, and never denied myself a decent pair of headphones. These, are a fantastic choice, you get the usual different-sized ear buds and a carry case with a solid structure moulded to the shape of the earphones to wrap around and to keep them from getting damaged in the bottom of your bag.The length of the wire is no longer anything to worry about, as the extension cord (which previously made the wire too long for an mp3 player in your pocket) now comes with a stylish clip to wrap excess wire around. You can position this clip where you like, so it's ideal.The wire is exceptional quality also as you would expect. Very lightweight and a nice texture so the buds sit in your ear effortlessly and do not pull on your clothes like the iPods original cables.I have compared the sound quality to some other headphones worth around £5-£20 and the difference is just incredible. Sounds isolation is perfect, and they're able to handle many types of music. Drum 'n Bass, Metal, dance, I'm just not going to take them out!

In the ultra-competitive business environment of today, making a great first impression with prospective clients is of vital importance. If your company, or people, fail to tick all the necessary boxes during that first meeting, the chances are the potential customer will look elsewhere for a partner or supplier.
Business leaders are acutely conscious of this fact, and this is why many companies continue to spend significant sums on business travel, presentations and hospitality. They know that there may only be a single opportunity to grab the big contracts, and it's vitally important to show your company in the best possible light.
Many customers continue to prefer face-to-face meetings, where they can get a better feel for the business and its employees - and also read body language and other non-verbal communication. For this reason, the use of video conferencing technology may not be appropriate in the first instance - the potential client is likely to expect a meeting in person.
However, that is not to say that video technology does not have a role to play - it certainly does in modern business. Used in an appropriate context, HD video conferences allow meetings to be staged virtually, potentially reducing the costs and time commitment involved for all parties.
When the business and customer has a long-standing relationship, and the individuals involved in the meeting have got to know each other, it may make more sense to conduct meetings remotely. Participants can still see who they are talking to - they are just not in the same building. Or even country, perhaps - relieving the travel burden.
Experience should indicate when it is appropriate to use collaboration technology in lieu of a full, in-person meeting. Used appropriately, video conference can reduce logistical complexity, reduce costs and boost everyone's productivity for the day. But used at the wrong time - when a traditional meeting is the better option - and this may not reflect as well on the company.
Microsoft Office 365 enables businesses to stage high-quality HD video conferences over the web - to find out more click here.

About PINs
Your Library PIN (Personal Identification Number) can be any 4 numbers without dashes or spaces. If there was no PIN in your record, the system will accept the number you just keyed as your PIN, and you will be asked to enter it again as verification. For security purposes, instead of seeing the actual numbers on the screen, the user will see asterisks or bullets displayed as the new PIN is entered.
Why do I need a PIN?
A PIN protects your library card from unauthorized use. If your card is lost or stolen, it provides you with an extra layer of protection to helps to ensure the privacy of all library accounts.
Your PIN is required when you:
- login to My Account on the library's web site
- login to use a library database
- check out items at a self-check out machine (as of June 1, 2012)
- login to reserve and use a library computer
How to Change Your PIN
- Log In to your Library record.
- Click the Modify your PIN button
Forgot your PIN?
There are three ways we can help if you've forgotten your PIN:
- If you're in the Library, staff at any service desk will reset it. To safeguard your security, staff will need your address, birth date and your library card or a current picture ID
- Call 415-557-4400 for help
- Online go to Forgot your PIN? to enter your Library Card number. You will receive an email with instructions on how to reset your PIN.
Important: you must have a valid email address in your Library Record to use this form.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Sarah Wilhelm will present "Aquaponics: Food for the Future" at 12:45 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25 at Westminster College's Phillips Lecture Hall in the Hoyt Science Resources Center. Wilhelm was hired by Youngstown City Schools in 2012 to build the first high school level aquaponic facility in Ohio. The event is free and open to the public.
Aquaponics is the raising of fish and plants in a closed ecosystem. This can be used as a way to provide locally grown fresh vegetables and fruits to a community that may not have access to these necessities, especially during the winter months. The waste produced by the fish provides nutrients for the plants, which absorb the minerals and leaves clean water for the fish. The system uses less water than traditional agriculture.
After building the aquaponic for Youngstown City Schools, Wilhelm was asked to stay on and teach the 10th-grade class for one year. She now consults with others interested in creating their own aquaponic systems, and still maintains the aquaponic setup at Hartford Greenhouses in Hartford, Ohio.
Wilhelm earned her undergraduate degree in environmental science from Allegheny College. She became involved with aquaponics during her junior year and went on to build her own small scale aquaponics system at her home. She later used the system to conduct research for writing her senior thesis about the productivity of ornamental plants in an aquaponic system.

Did any one spot the misspelling of 'Quality' in the header of my last blog?
I wish I could say it was a deliberate error to entice comments from my quality conscious readers. But sadly it was just an defect.
One letter missing from around a thousand. Making my defect per million opportunity rate 1,000 DPMO. Believe me it would be much higher if it were not for spell checker.
Back to the topic: Defect Opportunities
DPMO is a good way of standardising our understanding of our process capabilities and as such can be a valuable KPI we can take with us to monitor and compare our performance. But only if we have the same understanding of DPMO. Here the IPC have done the hard work for us by publishing standards on the methodology for calculating DPMO. The origins for these standards were in the work done by the iNEMI group. They solved the critical pieces of the puzzle; namely what counts as a defect? and how to calculate the result?
The Valor MES solution has adopted this work in its Valor MSS products and can report DPMO results to the IPC standard.
Please check us out, if DPMO is important to you.

A lymph node biopsy is the removal of lymph node tissue for examination under a microscope.
The lymph nodes are small glands that make white blood cells (lymphocytes), which fight infection. Lymph nodes may trap the germs that are causing an infection. Cancer often spreads to lymph nodes.
Biopsy - lymph nodes; Open lymph node biopsy; Fine needle aspiration biopsy; Sentinel lymph node biopsy
A lymph node biopsy is done in an operating room in a hospital. Or, it is done at an outpatient surgical center. The biopsy may be done in different ways.
An open biopsy is surgery to remove all or part of the lymph node:
For some cancers, a special way of finding the best lymph node to biopsy is used. This is called sentinal lymph node biopsy, and it involves:
The sample is then sent to the laboratory for examination.
A needle biopsy involves inserting a needle into a lymph node. This type of biopsy is done less often because the results are not as helpful as with an open biopsy.
Tell your health care provider:
Your doctor may ask you to:
You must sign a consent form.
When the local anesthetic is injected, you will feel a prick and a mild stinging. The biopsy site will be sore for a few days after the test.
After an open biopsy, the pain is mild and you can easily control it with an over-the-counter pain medication. You may also notice some bruising or fluid leaking for a few days. The incision should heal in 10 to 14 days. Follow instructions for taking care of the incision. While the incision is healing, avoid any type of intense exercise or heavy lifting.
The test is used to diagnose cancer, sarcoidosis, or an infection (such as tuberculosis):
The results of the biopsy help your doctor decide on further tests and treatments.
If a lymph node biopsy does not show any signs of cancer, it is more likely that other lymph nodes nearby are also cancer-free. This information can help the health care provider decide about further tests and treatments.
Abnormal results may be due to many different conditions, from very mild infections to cancer.
For example, enlarged lymph nodes may be due to:

How to look like a priest with transmogrification (even if you're actually a mage)
This week, I'll be showing you how to create the look of a traveling, battle-ready priest. With the draped hood and cloth foot wraps, I want to call on the idea of a medieval monk or friar sent to a far-off land on a divine errand. The set is wearable by all cloth wearers, so even mages and warlocks can get in touch with their holy side. Most of the key pieces come from a recolored version of the Absolution Regalia (priest tier 6), with a few twists to make the outfit look less crisp and uniform.
