Just posted: Pentax MX-1 Preview Samples
We've just posted a gallery of real-world samples from the MX-1 - Pentax's flagship compact camera. Announced earlier this year the MX-1 offers a 12MP backlit CMOS sensor, and a fast F1.8-2.5 lens which spans an equivalent focal range of 28-112mm. We wrote a detailed hands-on preview back in January and we're working on putting the camera through our usual gamut of studio and real-world testing. For now, we hope you enjoy this small gallery of samples which - if nothing else - proves that the sun does occasionally come out in Seattle.

Yeah-yeah. Being 6 month late and explaining it by waiting for sunshine....I'd like a boss like that.
Nobody below commented on the dynamic range. I like it.
Everything is in focus (small sensor thing) -- I don't like it any more (use m43).
I do comment on that: that's fantastic.
No blown highlight whatsoever, no whashed-out, underexposed look either.
Even Nikon A samples were far worse regarding exposure/DR.
Maybe it's the photographer, maybe it's the light condiitons, maybe some other thing, but still I like these pictures here very much.
So its a XZ-2 in a pentax body. Im not seeing the big deal here. Oly licensed there lens design to Pentax. I would pay the exra 50 bucks and get the XZ-2 most likely.
The XZ-2 is $599 in the US. The MX-1 is $499 but if you know where to look you can find it for $430.
The XZ-2 can take the VF2 EVF, and has a touch LCD. What makes the XZ-2 a tough sell is it's priced the same as the E-PL5 kit and $100 more than the E-PM2 kit.
The MX-1 has the Pentax Info menu similar to their DSLRs which makes changing settings extremely fast. I much prefer the styling of the MX-1 but they are both nice cameras. I was quite happy with my XZ-1 when I had it, at least for stills.
It may be a fine compact camera but surely it's a stupid idea to call it MX.
The original MX had one of the best SLR viewfinders ever made and while I'm quite happy with the recent trend of "retro" designs this one does not deserve its name. If Pentax has no better use for such an illustrious piece of their legacy, they should let it rest in peace...
Olympus is making much better use of their iconic names.
(I am a Pentax user by the way)
I was in the same boat. But that 3" LCD is about 20 times bigger than MX viewfinder image, and LCD promises great shot each time you press the button, with no need to develop the film first.
MX-1 well deserves its name; it's helluva more camera than the original MX.
I just took a look through a MX- viewfinder and compared it to a 3" LCD: I had to bring the LCD as near as 10cm (4") to my eyes - sorry they can't focus this near...
You're going to have to hold the MX-1 very close to your eye to make the display fill the same area of your eyes field of view that the MX Viewfinder fills and your cornea will be touching the LCD before it's apparent size reaches 20x that of the MX-viewfinder...
And then there are issues like visibility in sunlight, lag, etc.
It may take less skill to use the MX-1 but that's not the hallmark of a flagship SLR aimed at professionals and skilled amateurs (like the MX or LX were) but that of a point-and-shoot. There is nothing wrong with P&S-cameras but if Pentax is going to invoke the memory of their better days for marketing purposes, they should built cameras that do their namesakes justice.
This new "MX" has nothing in common with it's namesake apart from the brand name...
I would go with the LX7. The MX-1 is a fine camera but that Pana-Leica lens on the LX7 is really something else. Both are about the same in terms of ISO performance.
Interestingly, Pentax has filled in a patent for 21-84mm equivalent lens for this same type of camera sensor. 21mm is seriously wide for a compact indeed. (LX7 starts at 24mm).
If Pentax makes it, maybe we'll se a truly wide-angle compact coming onto the market soon. Maybe an MX-1 successor or an all new sister camera..
Prefer the tilt-able LCD of the MX-1, and the lens seems sharper, and IQ seems a bit better. Note: DxOMark sensor tests have the MX-1 high ISO performance quite a bit better than the LX7.
All that said, I am a former owner of the LX7, and it's a fine camera and this is not an easy decision especially with the discount prices on the LX7 lately.
In regards to this cameras handling, I think it feels like a dog made out of bricks.
The camera is weighted horribly towards the opposite side to the grip, seemingly beyond the placement of the lens. While having no protruding grip, there is also an annoying strap lug placed where the fingers would sit, along with a mash of tiny buttons and nothing for my thumb to grip except the back dial.
On top of all that, the outer section of the lens is deceptively designed to make you think that it can be rotated to change settings. But it can't.
The only saving grace seems to be the lens, and the way the camera looks from certain angles. I was also quite unimpressed by the fact that the top flash plate, where it says 'BRASS' actually seems to be made of plastic.
Too little, too late. Pentax, please see Canon & Olympus for how to design a compact camera.
Before you make loud statements, make small research first, otherwise you look stupid.
plates on camera are real brass. Look preview of camera, page 4, last picture with text - http://www.dpreview.com/previews/pentax-mx-1/4
And if we compare designs of compact cameras, then there is question about every persons own taste. But honestly, I would never call canon as an example where to look for good design or for smart and useful functions in compact camera market. Olympus - may be.
It is brass plated. Scratch it, and you will see. Re stability, each to their own. MX-1 and X2 simply cling to hands, they are very balanced, weight distributed well.
Strap lugs being placed forward is an act of genius, in fact, because camera won't flip forward like all others (if it had side lugs) when the lens is extended, or when the camera is hanging in the air, of next to your body. It stays vertical, balanced, firm. No bumps, no flips.
And, a compact camera means much more than a thing being able to fit it in the pocket; between the vain desire to fit something in the pocket, and actual comfortable use in hands, there is a world of difference in which almost all pocket cameras fail in feeling comfortable to use. But few don't.
The top and bottom plates of the camera are cold to the touch.
The top plate of the pop up flash is not cold to the touch. It is a different material to the rest of the plate.
Please hold the camera in your hand before you denounce my statements.
Design wise, it's down to personal taste. Although cameras well designed for the serious user tend to have at least 2 dials for easily changing shutter and aperture.
That is one of the reasons enthusiasts prefer and recommend the D7000 and 60D instead of lower end models.
I wrote 'I think it feels like a dog made out of bricks.'
That's what I THINK.
You are also free to think what you wish.
Hands on "review" 1/13, samples released 5/13. Comprehensive (and worthwhile) reviews have been available elsewhere since mid 02/13.
Perhaps dpr should consider streamlining their methodologies to find a balance that allows them to continue to add value in the review space within a timeframe that coincides with a product release.
There are occasions when it might be worthwhile to read through all 20+ pages of a dpr review, but I know that I, and I'm sure I'm not alone, skip to the conclusion and samples pages and ignore the rest.
Priorities. dpr already has the D7100 review up. It's unlikely the MX-1 will ever see a full review.
The "preview" is the de-facto "short review", but I'd prefer they drop the pretense: just give it the overview treatment and call it a day.
I've been following this website for many years and I can't understand why at the beginning they managed to do accurate reviews of both DSLRs and compact cameras (both enthusiast and consumer, and those accurate reviews are what they became famous for) and now that they have expanded and have been acquired by Amazon they can't manage to review almost anything. Lots of interesting products are now skipped just because they aren't DSLRs or EVIL cameras or because they belong to less mainstream brands.
the colors are awesome!
well done pentax! altough it is a very late step!
Very nice image quality! The lens seems awesome. It's not a surprise as it seems to share the same lens as the XZ-1 and XZ-2.
Hmm... everybody praise jpeg, but I can't say it's better than from my old Olympus XZ-1. And yes, it's all about perfect conditions i.e. good weather, sun and colors
It has a newer sensor than the XZ-1. (likely the same one that's in the XZ-2) Can't say if it's a better camera because I've only used the XZ-1. From tests I've seen, it has better high ISO ability. In fact it leads all 1/1.7" sensor cameras for high ISO ability if you go by DxOMark.
DPR: Will we receive a pre-production unit of the upcoming Pentax DSLR flagship so we have a scoop that others do not? Pentax Ricoh: Will you finally get around to reviewing our other cameras? ;-)
(Surely complete fantasy...and nice to see Pentax get some attention either way, thanks DPR)
Above these comments are ads for Pentax cameras. The MX is higher priced than a K-01 with a kit lens. I leave it to the buyer to determine which will produce the best quality results...
A discontinued camera costing less than a current model is nothing new.
But thanks for the warning about the comments with your ad about the K-01.
Then buy the K01; it has really good image quality and also is a very different kind of camera system. Though it takes interchangeable lenses that can cost a good deal more than this MX1.
My only complaints about the K-01 are the silly card-door cover and the fact that there's no possibility of an external EVF.
So any time people like the sample images from a camera their comments are "Ads for that camera"?
Perhaps that tinfoil hat is too tight?
I was referring the actual ads on the site that showed up above the comments. What is so hard to grasp? P.S., I'd rather have the Q as well.
Sorry I always use adblock hence the confusion. But thanks for the story about the Q.
"proves that the sun does occasionally come out in Seattle. "
Ha ha. That was /exactly/ what crossed my mind looking at the thumbnails:
"Hey, those look much nicer than usual ... oh yeah, it's actually decent weather for once!"
... looking at samples online I think the real strength of this camera may be it's b&w output .
As an owner of a real Pentax MX, I would like to love this camera, but I just can't get interested in anything smaller than APS-C.
We all tend to judge cameras by its peers. If the newcomer is somewhat different, we tend to nag about it. However, my experience with the MX-1 was revealing insofar. MX-1 has something cameras in its class have missed for a long time (maybe never had): a great shooting balance. Which I think is due to its retro inspired design, materials and — proportions.
Having it tried side by side with Leica X2 and RX100, I felt both X2 and MX-1 simply cling to your hands. You're not tired of them. RX100 is slippery, like a soap, can't really use with one hand. MX-1 you can operate with one hand, and won't lose balance. It stands firm. It's not heavy as they describe it, but the feeling is that of stability, quality and comfort. Not lens heavy like many P&S cameras, even with the lens fully extended.
Anyway, I suggest anyone to go and try, and never ever judge a camera based on paper specs alone; you'll be sacrificing something specs cannot tell.
Yes, RX100 needs a grip, after attaching one, I am holding the camera in one hand and walking no problems (with a wrist strap)
Photoguy, shooting with two hands is fine, but do you hold the camera with two hands between shots? You'd agree that you'd like a camera to feel like it will stay in your grip at all times, even when walking without keeping a hold being a second by second battle?
It's easy to forget it seems sometimes that the camera has to be designed to be carried as well as operated.
Maybe the sunshine, the blue skies and some nicer-than-usual compositions are playing their part, but these are the best samples from a compact I've seen on this site in a good while.
The photographers of this gallery know what they are doing and it's great weather in a beautiful part of the country. But it's also a very good camera with really solid JPEGs. These are the kind of JPEGs I was hoping the X20 would have - excellent detail and low NR.
Wow I really liked it! Nice colors, cris and low noise, much better than some samples from others web sites, maybe the photographer is better lol...
I already have the RX-100, I think that for me it is not worth to have the MX-1 as a second camera or to replace mine...
I believe that a larger sensor would fit as the camera is chunkier than the RX-100, although I dont think that they could keep such a fast lens...
Nevertheless this camera offers a lot for the price, although a $350 price would really help Pentax to speed it sales against LX7, G15 and XZ-2!
i wonder how is the LCD in bright light. that is my frustration with my current Fuji F11.
now hunting for a compact with optical viewfinder.
It looks ok. Even at ISO 100, though, there are signs of noise reduction that give images an artificial look. It's better than most compacts I've seen, but compacts still have a long way to go.
Perhaps raw files and careful conversion would make things look better.
It's much larger than the RX100 and with a much smaller sensor but the saving grace is a much smaller price.
My fault, I thought this was thread was about the images, not some competition between a $700 camera in this one.
I'll tell you what, if I'm shooting the kids at full telephoto, I'd rather have the MX-1 with the larger aperture lens.
Beautiful samples, I never get bored of images from the MX-1. Sharp lens and excellent colors. I see an MX-1 in my future, and these sample may make it happen sooner than I expected. Good job.

@MK, heya -- we decorated the tree at my in-laws' place two nights ago and it was awesome -- loads of old civil-rights-era political buttons mixed with decorations from Mexican, Africa, the Midwest, etc. The tree at my house went up tonight in my absence, but I will enjoy it when I get home. @ADM, thank you! Always nice to be recognized for doing something right. | |

Mon. 12/17/12 10:43pm
Kirsten is a nice addition, I'm enjoying live more than album, and I like the album a lot. These guys are always better live though... regardless of the band they're in. | |

Dan B:
@AN, wasn't Kirsten on the album too? She's listed in the credits. But yes, this group definitely gets to something live that is unique and distinct from the record, which I also loved. | |
Mon. 12/17/12 10:46pm
This is beyond spectacular...so good... | |
Mon. 12/17/12 10:50pm
Dan B:

Mon. 12/17/12 10:53pm
Never heard Kirsten play live with the boys before tho... sorry, that was the point. Tired, not being clear... Seen/heard multiple versions of Jim and Phil and John playing together. Always enjoyed. Like the 3 live with the addition of Kirsten... and the album sounds different than the live. Not familiar with Kirsten's work other than on Trees... | |
Mon. 12/17/12 11:02pm
Really, really, REALLY good stuff Dan. This is spectacular. | |
Mon. 12/17/12 11:10pm
Dan B:
@AN, ah, that makes sense. @amEdeo -- yes yes yes. This material is all from the album Trees, not that it sounds like the album in any particularly close manner. | |
Mon. 12/17/12 11:35pm
I freaking love this song! | |

Red Hat Seeks Defense Against Patent Lawsuit
In October 2007 IP Innovation filed a lawsuit against Novell and Red Hat for violation of certain virtual desktop patents. Red Hat is now asking the community for help to invalidate it.
IP Innovation LLC, a subsidiary of the California Acacia Technologies patent enforcement firm, had filed a claim in Texas court that Red Hat and Novell had violated three U.S. patents concerning a user interface with multiple workspaces. Red Hat is now seeking to counter the claim by providing proof that the technology had already been widespread at the time of the lawsuit, citing the "prior art" provision.
Red Hat has published information in its defense on the Post-Issue Peer to Patent pages of the Linux Defenders website. The patents had originated March 25, 1987, and addressed a "User interface with multiple workspaces for sharing display system objects" (full details of the lawsuit from Groklaw).
In a Fedora-announce-list e-mail, Red Hat's VP and counsel Rob Tiller claims that his company has "strong defenses in this lawsuit," but nevertheless seeks input from the FOSS community "to submit prior art relevant to the patents" to "reinforce" their defense.

Course Instructor & Mentors
Students enjoy networking, learning, and getting to know John Wooten, Russ Lande, and Dr. Lashbrook in the live weekly audio chats.
John Wooten
John Wooten is fondly referred to as the "Godfather of the NFL."
John has been involved in the NFL at every level of the game for over 50 years. He has won NFL & Super Bowl titles. John is currently Chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, which works closely with the NFL. Every team in the NFL has been impacted by John and his goal to increase job opportunities for minorities in the league.
Quote from NFL Sr. Executive VP for Football Operations, Ray Anderson reflecting on John Wooten's 50 year contribution to the NFL:
"Respectfully, professionally and affectionately John Wooten is known as the Godfather, not just because of his age or longevity, but because of the breath and depth of his service and what he has meant to the NFL as a player, scout and front office executive. He has had an unbelievable presence aside from those roles with his work as chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance. When you say John Wooten coupled with Dan Rooney you have two gentlemen who have made more of a difference for the cause of equal opportunity and diversity in the NFL than anyone that has ever graced our business."
As a player, John was an All American guard at the University of Colorado. John was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1959 and went on to play nine professional seasons with the NFL for the Cleveland Browns and the Washington Redskins. John opened up holes for Hall of Famer Jim Brown in the sixties, winning the Super Bowl game in 1964. Following his playing days, John had a variety of roles on various teams in the NFL. His job titles over 40 years have included Player Personnel, Director of Pro Personnel, Director of Player Programs, Vice President, Director of Scouting, and Consultant. Teams John has worked for in these positions include the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Baltimore Ravens, the NFL, and the NFLPA. John even had a stint as a sports agent. John has three championship rings, one from the 1964 Browns, the 1977 Cowboys, and the 2000 Ravens.
John Wooten has a deep commitment to the communities he has lived in and understands the value of giving back. He is one of the most well connected people in the NFL. You will love learning from this natural mentor while enjoying his genuine spirit and years of wisdom.

Democratic governance in weak or conflict states
When the nation state is weak or has failed, by internal strife or collapse, state sovereignty is undermined to the point where the state seizes to be an effective partner to both its citizens and the global community. Reclaiming state sovereignty involves practical nation building by creating or strengthening such government institutions as armies, police forces, judiciaries, central banks, tax-collection agencies, health and education systems, and the like. At the local level this process aims to provide a durable politically stable environment for growth and investment while at the same time mitigating threats posed by the weak state at the international level.
Program Overview
Nation building for new and emerging states
In the past twenty years the United Nations went from 159 to 191 countries. The natural trend to decentralization and self-determination continues with more than a dozen new emerging countries set to formalize their status in the coming years. Ensuring peaceful transition, good governance and the quality of institutions are among the main factors determining the future for new and emerging states. Nation building for newly-independent nations is the process of securing their sovereignty by creating a framework of democratic institutions which shape these nations into solid and coherent national entities. This process creates or strengthens the government institutions of the state so that it remains politically stable and viable in the long run.

"The Supercell Transition Derecho" Fig. 1. Severe weather outbreak of July 28-29, 1986. Tornadoes are indicated by "T" or as linear paths, with intensities noted in "F" scale (F0=weak, F4=violent). Large hail is indicated by "A," with hail diameter in inches. Damaging winds are denoted by "W." The widespread severe winds of the derecho are included within the dashed line. Times are in Universal Time (UTC); these are converted to CDT in the description below (CDT = UTC - 5). Note that map is rotated such that top is toward the northeast, rather than north. (From Johns and Leftwich 1988) On Monday afternoon, July 28, 1986 isolated supercells formed over parts of South Dakota and began producing large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes (Figure 2). The first severe reports occurred at 4:30 p.m. CDT (2130 UTC). The supercell that moved south-southeast through southwestern Minnesota evolved into a bow echo as it reached northwestern Iowa (see Figures 2, 3 and 4). This bow echo grew in scale and produced a derecho as it accelerated southeastward. Gusts greater than 80 mph occurred in the Des Moines area about 10:15 p.m. CDT (0315 UTC), and 100 mph winds caused considerable damage as the storm raced through northeast Missouri and western Illinois. The derecho finally diminished over the St. Louis area around 3:30 a.m. CDT (0830 UTC) the following morning. The evolution of the associated convective system as viewed by satellite is given in Figure 5, and an example of the damage produced by the derecho is shown in Figure 6. |
Fig. 2. Radar reflectivity at 4:52 p.m. CDT, showing isolated supercells. |
Fig. 3. At 6:42 p.m. CDT, the supercell over southwestern Minnesota is evolving into a bow echo. |
Fig. 4. By 9:40 p.m. CDT, the bow echo has become well-defined and is producing a derecho. |
Fig. 5. Infrared satellite evolution of the July 28-29, 1986 derecho-producing convective system. Times are CDT. Nearly circular, very high (cold) cloud canopy apparent in the 9 and 10 p.m. images is characteristic of well-organized derecho-producing convective systems. (Photos by NOAA-NESDIS; appeared in Storm Data, July 1986) |
Fig. 6. As the derecho passed near Boone, Iowa, it caused the derailment of 18 piggyback trailer cars of a westbound freight train crossing the Kate Shelley bridge. Sixteen of the cars fell 187 feet into the Des Moines River. (Photo taken July 29, 1986 by W. Taylor, The Des Moines Register; appeared in Storm Data, July 1986) |

I added some medkits and armor and fixed bugs with enemies. Old bullets also fly slowlier.
GREAT! FRONT PAGE! Thanks voting! I love you guys!
If the game seems to be too hard, try theese things:
1. In options, turn "Old bullets" option on
2. Use Hand grenades (4) theay can bounce when they hit a wall
3. Use Alt. attacks.
4. Cheat codes form EW1 still work! (press and hold YMP or ZLT or XHI to get SuperShotgun,Minigun or RocketLauncher)
Hi everyone!.
Almost one year passed since I've submitted EndlessWar 1.
But two months ago I decided to make the second part. So, here you'll find another lots of enemies and guns (including Flamethrower and hand grenades). Enjoy!

Sure, and it should be finished soon!

Dear Vitaly...........
Could you work on a mmo version of endless war series and stuff also if you made the mmo could you make extra guns and swords to buy i wish you could do so PS: I love your game series.
Rated 4 / 5 stars June 15, 2011
Best of the series
I think a sequel should feature similar campaigns with the Terrorists Campaign expanded. Some changes would be cool like reducing recoil or eliminating it completely, bullets with no delay and also fast explosives, it's absurd for example how in Crossfie (Terrorists), if firing a grenade to the other side at the one shooting my team mate, it takes several seconds during which he may die, or in APC vs. AT squad hummer (Iraq), the armoured personnel carrier fires three times at one of the hummers, than three times at a rifleman before it may be destroyed.

Estelle Joins Hartford March
Estelle Margolis was among Westport residents traveling to Hartford by bus today for the March for Change seeking tighter gun control legislation. Margolis gained notoriety last month for bringing a BB gun and a box of .45-caliber ammunition to a Representative Town Meeting (RTM) debate on gun control. She pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor breach of peace charge and is due back in court on Feb. 20. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

It Is this: Our r«p«>ftted petitions have t)een an- ' Swered onljr by repeated Injury. j And then follows this severe arrnlgn- i ment of Oeorge ITI, the Inst of the Eng- I lish kings who maintained the divine i right of rule: A prlnre whose character la thus mark¬ ed by every act which may define a ty¬ rant ts unfit to b« the ruler of a free people. Prior to the Revolutionary struggle the sentiment In all tho colonies for ten years and more from the time of the flrst Stamp Act troubles was strongly against a severance of rela¬ tions with the parent country. Paul Revere's ride and the battles of Lexing¬ ton and Concord in April, ITT.*), memo¬ rable as those events are as the fore¬ runners of the great conflict, failed to arouse any widespread enthnslnsm for independence. It is even slgnlflrant to note that Jnst a year before the Dec- Inrntlon of Independence wns unani¬ mously approved by all of the thirteen colonies the Continental congress thnt had appointed Washington comman¬ der In chief of the nrmy, drew up, .Tuly 6, 177.'), a declaration of the causes for taking up arms In which It was said: "We mean not to dissolve that union which has so long and so happily eub- elsted between us and which we sincere¬ ly wish to gee restored. Even Thomas Jefferson, tho author of the Declaration of Independonco, two months after the hattie of Bnnkor Hill wrote that he wns "looking with fondness toward a reconciliation with Great Britain." A few far-sighted leaders like Ben¬ jamin Franklin, Samuel nnd John Adams nnd Patrick Henry had felt at a comparatively early date that a break was inevitable. The historic declaration of the citi¬ zens of Mecklenburg county. North Carolina, in May, 177,5, wns on^ of hov- eral local events indlcatl'.h thnt public opinion was tending toward independ¬ ence, but not until the appearance of Thomas Paine's stirring pamphlet, "Common Sense," early in .Tanunry, 1776, was there any npproclahle public sentiment in its favor. In tho plain language of the day It pro.'^ented the facts so simply that all could under¬ stand.

The resolutions, in Leo's liaiidwrlting, and now one of the treasuri'd papers in the library of congress, were: Itesolved, That these United Colonies ar« and of right ouKht to be free and Independent etatea: that they ure ab- ¦olved from all allesittnoe to the British crown, and that ull political lonnection between them and the state of Qreat Britain la and out(ht to t>e totally dla- ¦olved; That It Is expedient forthwith to take the moat fiftectual measurea for (orm- Ina forelsn alllancea; That a plan of confederation be pre¬ pared and transmitted tn the respective colonies for their consideration aud ap¬ probation. Here, tn fact, waa the Declaration of \ Independeuce in a uutsheli. proiMised by one of the most eminent men of the most iuHuentiai colony at 'tliat time aud promptly secouded by John Adams of Mas»>achusettH. It was deem- eA wise to or«l«r tbe secretary to omit their uuuitui fruui lUe Jouruul. The next 4lajr coacrsas w«»t Into a c<Huuatt«t of ; the whole to discuss the resolutions. The delegates from Pennsylvania, New Torlt and one or two other colonies ob¬ jected on the ground that the middle colonies were not yet ready for so radi¬ cal a step, el though personally express¬ ing a friendly attlttide. Delegates Hesltatsd. Unanimous action hy all the colonies on 80 momentous a question was re¬ garded by congress as of paramount hnportance. Some of the delegates had not been Instructed to go bo far ns vot¬ ing for Independence, New York and New Jersey being among them. The majority hnd been nutborlzed to tnke nny notion that might be deemed wise, Virglnin having gone so far as nctunl¬ ly to Instruct her dologntes to propose il declaration of lndoppn^lenc^ fo con¬ gress, nnd Richard Henry Lee wns simply obeying the legislative voice of his colony when he presented his reso¬ lutions. June 10 congress postponed final consldorntion for throe weeks, and on the following day npiiolnt<'d a commit¬ tee of five to tlraw up the declaration. Richard Henry Lee, as tbe proposer of the plan, would surely have been on the committee and, possibly. Its chairman, hnd he not in tho meantime been hur¬ riedly summoned home by the Illness of his wife. But for that Lee might have been the author of the declnra- tlon Instead of his younger Virginia colleague, Thomas Jefferson, then but thirty-three years old. Jefferson had brought to congres.s the reputation for wielding a facile pen, and In tho balloting for the com¬ mittee he received a majority of votes Imd became its chairman. The other.s were John Adams of Mnssachusetts, Renjaraln Franklin of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of Connecticut and Robert II. Livingston of New York. Honor Given Jefferson. • How did .TefTorson come to ho se¬ lected to write the Declaration, "the one American state paper, as haa been .•^iild, that hns reached to supreme dis¬ tinction in the world nnd that seems, lilcoly to last ns long ns American civi¬ lization lasts"? The most interesting account Is giv¬ en by John Adams, who says thnt he and Thomas .Tefforson wore desli.'n.ate(l li.v the committee to propnre the rouch minutes In a proper form. Mr. Jeffer¬ son first pr(ipf)S('(l tliiit Adiiins preimrc tbe dnift of the Declaration.

(2) That he waa a Southirn man -anil I a Northern one. CO That I had boon so obnoxinus for my early and constant zeal In promoting the menaurc that every draft of mine would tinderpo a more severe sirutlny and criti¬ cism In conKrt-ss tliaii oni' of hla composl- tl(in.

Ou the following day, when the formal vote of congress was taken, the reso¬ lutions were api^foved by twelve col¬ onies—all except New York. The orig¬ inal colonies, therefore, became the United States of America on July 2, 1776. The next two days were sfieut in discussing the draft of the Declara¬ tion as drawn by Jefferson. The debate was animated, but when it was all over the draft was adoi'ted with sur¬ prisingly few changes, a tribute to the ability with which the author bad ex> pres.sed to (lie world the cuuses which had made it necessary for "oue people to dissolve the political bauds wtilcb have cuuuected them with aautber." Unanimously Adopted. The Dei'lura'ioa of ludepeudenoe was then uuunluiuusly adopted l>y the twelve colonies, whose delej^atwi wera Instructed to vote In its favor, on July 4, which thenceforth became the recog¬ nized birthday of the new nation. The old bell ringer of Philadelphia, who had been patiently waiting for the new* in the steeple of the historic Rtatehonse, was the first to peal ont the message of American independence on tbe bell ever since honored as the Liberty Bell. No longer was there any doubt that public opinion wns ready for the step, for, as the news spread, it was everywhere received with ex¬ ultation.

On the snme day the Now York nssombly, in session at White Plnins, gave Its forninl vote for Independence, nnd the thirteen colonies were then united In their common cause. John Hancock, president of the con¬ gress, was the only member wh« signed the declarntlon on July 4. An engros.s- ed copy ori parchment was ordered for all the delegates to sign. This was completed August 2 and .signed by 54 delegates. Two others signed later, Thomas McKean of Delaware, who wns abHo^lt with his re^iinent In August, and Matthew Tliornton of New Hamp¬ shire, who was not elected to congress until the fall, but was permitted to sign tho document In November, mak¬ ing the total number of the famous "signers'" 56.
