Rani Yahya was a lopsided favorite over Josh Clopton ahead of their UFC 163 bout, and it was expected that Yahya would finish him. It didn't quite work out that way, but he got the victory nonetheless. Yahya spent much of the first two rounds in dominant positions but the finish just wasn't there. Clopton had a decent third, but never had Yahya in any trouble at all. All three judges had it 29-28 for the Brazilian fighter.
Yahya got on his striking right away, then grabbed a leg and looked for a takedown. Clopton fought it off, but Yahya pulled guard and grabbed onto a leg. Rani eventually ended up in guard against the fence and used some punches to pass. Clopton controlled him fairly well for a while but Yahya eventually got to mount. Clopton survived the round though.
Clopton tried to box early in round two but Yahya predictably got a takedown about one minute in. Yahya trapped his arm behind his own back and opened up with some punches. Rani sat in mount for a long time and controlled position, but again never came close to finishing the fight.
Clopton started the third with a good punch and stuffed a Yahya takedown. Yahya tried again, but Clopton flipped it over and ended up on top. He wasn't able to get anything going on the ground though, so he let him up. Yahya scored with a right and they fought over position for a while. The last round was pretty slow overall.

Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 24 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Robo-Golfer Awesome glove, very long lasting First glove I've had in many, many years that lasts more than 4-5 weeks, fits well, feels great and it is very rugged. The one I'm getting reading to replace is almost a year old and has just now started to break on a finger tip. Well worth the $$$, best glove going right now in my opinion. July 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by DRock Bionic Golf Glove The glove is of high quality, very durable and is of good value July 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Berniez40 Great Glove for The Arthritic Golfer Arthritis as a habit of throwing a monkey wrench onto the middle of anyne's golf game. These have helped me immensely. I am glad at I got them on sale, however, because after roughly 4 rounds, they start to look a little rough. Still, nothing has helped my golf game as much as these---not even a new driver. June 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by ED Best golf clove This is the best golf glove I have ever used. It is expensive but last several times longer than other quality leather gloves making this a good value. June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by TRW Fantastic glove Love the feel and grip this glove provides. Only downside is the palms, which tend to wear out and tear a little easier than some other gloves. June 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by DBW Awesome golf glove..worth the extra $ Awesome golf glove..worth the extra $. i highlet recomend..Great support, play better May 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Flash Worth the extra cost A stable grip is fundamental to my golf psyche. This glove gives the extra "locked in" feel for my last two fingers that I need to relax and let my wrists pivot through the swing. This glove provides better connection to the grip than the rest. April 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by bob not worth the extra money have bought several pairs of these type of bionic golf gloves. they feel great for a max of two or three rounds. after that they are stretched out so bad, and the threading is coming apart. worn holes are already appearing. they no longer feel like that second skin like properly fitting golf gloves should feel. i have several pairs of much, much older gloves that maintained their shape, that are not all stretched out, and are without worn spots, and the threading is still intact. have bought my last bionic glove. March 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by starcrunch1368 ordered 12 right handed gloves got 11 right 1 left I enjoy the product but don't like that it is not stocked in store February 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jdot Hold On To The Club I've used the Bionic Glove since they were first introduced and they are fantastic. I have a real problem with sweaty palms and the BG eliminates this issue. I also tended to loosen my thumb grip at the top but the BG enables me to keep constant grip pressure at the proper points. Consequently my drives are long for the most part and go where I aim. I even keep it on when I putt for the same reason. I simply unfasten the Velcro when putting but it still keeps a firm grip on the club. I bought one for a friend in Texas who has arthritis issues and couldn't afford to buy a BG due to all his medical expenses. My only suggestion to improve the glove would be to reinforce the thumb at the joint because the aeration holes quickly tear into one large hole which of course limits the life of the glove.

A few months back I had dinner at the N.C. Museum of Art's restaurant, Iris, and they served a wonderful carrot ginger soup. Do you think they would share?
Leslie Murray
Iris' longtime chef Andy Hicks was happy to share the recipe.
Hicks has a longstanding relationship with the N.C. Museum of Art. For six years in the 1990s, he ran the museum's restaurant for a third party contractor. In 2000, the museum hired Hicks and his wife, Jennifer, to open Iris. (Jennifer is a pastry chef and the restaurant's special events designer.) Previously, Hicks, 53, worked as a sous chef for chef Bill Smith, now of Crook's Corner, when Smith was working at La Residence in Chapel Hill.
Hicks believes the original recipe for this carrot ginger soup came from Smith and remembers making a version at La Residence. But he added that the soup recipe has morphed over the years. While it isn't a fixture on the menu, it is in heavy rotation among the soup specials.
"This one is a customer favorite, so it makes an appearance with a fair amount of frequency compared to all the other soups we do," Hicks wrote in an email. "At times during the year, the carrots we get will be higher quality and sweeter; we'll lean towards that soup more often then."
Carrot Ginger Soup
Our recipe tester used a microplaner to grate the ginger instead of mincing. This soup makes enough to feed a crowd; so consider cutting the recipe in half for 2-4 people. From chef Andy Hicks of Iris restaurant at the N.C. Museum of Art in Raleigh.
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium sweet yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
4 cups pulp-free orange juice
5 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 pounds carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
1 cup heavy cream
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
MELT butter over medium-low heat in a large stainless steel stockpot or large Dutch oven. Add onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes. Add orange juice, vegetable stock, coconut milk and carrots and continue to cook soup until the carrots are tender.
TRANSFER soup in batches to a food processor or blender. Puree soup until thick and creamy, letting each batch be pureed for 2-3 minutes. Transfer pureed soup to a bowl in batches. Once all the soup is pureed, transfer it to the stock pot. Over low heat, stir in heavy cream and add salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve with toasted crusty bread.
Yield: 6-8 servings.

3.11/5 rDev -16.2%
A 330ml bottle with a BB of June 2014. 2011 vintage. Acquired quite a while back from Trembling Madness in York. Described on the label as possessing a nutty, yeasty character.
Poured into a Duvel tulip. Bottle conditioned. A deep reddish-amber hue with some floating sediment and light carbonation. Yields a small head of frothy off-white foam that lasts for a moment or two before dissipating to a thin surface layer. Aroma of caramel malt with hints of grain, subtle toffee, earthy yeast, faint brown sugar and stewed leaves. A whisper of alcohol in the background. Balanced but dull.
Tastes of caramel malt with a dry finish. Notes of earthy yeast, subtle caramel/toffee, mild grain, a touch of roastiness, faint brown sugar and stewed leaves. Well-attenuated, followed by a mild bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth and dry, with soft carbonation and good body. Slightly astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of dry, earthy yeast, grainy caramel and stewed leaves.
Rather disappointing by the standards of de Struise, but perhaps it's just a bit old. Lacklustre looks - where's the big, creamy head? The aroma and flavour are an unexciting mix of earthy yeast and caramel malt. Decent body, but it isn't enough to pull this brew from the doldrums. Uninspired, with a touch of homebrew about it. No need to seek it out.

2.46/5 rDev -33.7%
The beer pours a cloudy dark amber. The mocha colored head quickly dies down to a thin collar. It smells slightly sweet with notes of caramel and biscuit bread. The hop scent is mild and there is a fruity yeasty scent of prunes and dark sugar.
The taste is initially bready and malty and moves to a distasteful buttery and vegetal flavor. Not sure what went wrong here, but it is very off putting and did not exist in the nose. Very surprising. Purchased at the Struise shop in Brugge so I cannot say it was mishandled. Very odd taste that things turned poorly for this brew. Difficult task to attempt finishing the bottle.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and carbonation is lively. Something either went wrong or I found very distasteful. Brewed 2014 and consumed on the same day as purchased. I have always enjoyed this brewery so I'm not sure where this went wrong.

3.58/5 rDev -3.5%
Struise Rosse is a predictable amber colour and also unsurprisingly quite cloudy (the writeup on the bottle said to expect as much). Not only true to its name and label, it is also true to its Belgian origins and sports a bulky and lasting off-white head.
Upon smelling the beer, perhaps that last line should be stricken from the record; with plenty of hoppiness and virtually no yeast present, this is actually highly atypical for a Belgian amber ale. With notes of toffee, resinous pine and grapefruit, it smells like something from the US Pacific.
Flavours are cast in the same mould. Caramel, pine and citrus are appreciated on the palate, albeit in levels North American craft drinkers might find a little reserved. Still, I wouldn't normally associate this brand of citrus and earthy characteristics with Brewers Gold and Challenger hops.
The mouthfeel (like the aroma) is lightly tarnished by a metallic, copper-like element that makes flavours taste oxidized. I suspect an aged bottle but there's no best-by date and it was purchased (and consumed) near the brewery, so I'll assume that's not the case. Either way, it's hardly a turnoff and detracts very little (if anything) from drinkability.
Struise Rosse is one of the few Belgian-brewed amber ales you'll find that is more inundated with hops than yeast. I liked it but wasn't blown away; being spoiled with plenty of similar such ambers where I'm from, I've had much better. That being said, Belgian consumers used to 'bières ambrées' or 'abbaye-style' ales are in for a pleasant shock.

Have not tried this before so thought why not and it pours a murky orange brown hue with a off white two finger head and similar lacing everywhere,the smell is guava,passionfruit,oak and dried fruits,the mouthfeel is light bodied and well carbonated but doesnt suit thats for sure with tastes of guava,oak,chestnuts,cherries,roasty malts and finished dry and fruity,overall its pretty average which is not normal for these guys and i would not revisit cheers.

Slightly hazy red colour with a tiny, short lasted off-white head.
Somewhat sweet, sticky, vinous aroma with a touch of malt, dried fruit and spice. Really a bit dull.
Insipid malt and fruit character with moderate bitterness and a hint of spice. I don't really get this beer as most De Struise stuff is really good.
Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Okay.
I don't mind this but it is a bit empty and lacking substance.

11.2oz brown bottle poured into a cervoise. The brew appears a clouded amber brown color with just shy of 2 fingers worth of creamy yellowish stained froth of a head. The cap slowly fades leaving some patches and strings of lacing effect sticking to the glass. A light swirl agitates a finger of head back to the surface.
The aroma of this brew is somewhat sweet with a wide array of malt character. It is somewhat nutty upfront that blends into a sweetness of caramel and toffee. A bit of fruit aspect is present mingling with alcohol character and mild citrus hop inclusion across the back. As it warms up, there is a faint yeast character that becomes more evident but it is still fitting and enjoyable.
The taste is very well balanced. The first things I pick up on are the malty aspects of toffee that is lightly nutty and toasty with a biscuit sort of grain appeal to it. The sweetness of this brew is short lived as the hops present themselves immediately with a contrasting bitterness that is mildly herbal and fruity. The yeast is apparent towards the finish with a clean greenness that accents the hops and draws out a bit of fruity alcohol and warmth down the back of the throat. As the brew warms up, the malt takes on a flavor that is mildly chocolate-like in flavor. Not bad.
This is a medium bodied brew with a moderate amount of carbonation. It is clean, well balanced and easy drinking for 6%. I feel like ambers/red ales get overlooked since they lack bold features that would draw people in. My opinion is that the cleanliness, well rounded nature and ease of drinkability is what makes this brew better than average. Well done.

A: The pour is a hazy light amber color with a tall white head.
S: Sort of a funky aroma, is it supposed to be that way? A little lemon and lemon zest tartness to it. Some yeast and tropical fruits and peaches.
T: The flavor is similar. There are quite a few yeast flavors and a bit of spice. A definite fruitiness, almost like pineapple and peach. There is a bit of tartness and perhaps some Juicy Fruit flavors.
M: Light in body with a medium carbonation.
O: Pretty sure it's not supposed to be funky/sour, but it worked out well.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
Add beautiful mood lighting at outdoor gatherings. Why not craft up a set to use this summer.
It is nostalgic to display these photo ornaments on your Christmas tree and see how time has passed over the years. This year, with my kids growing older, I thought it would also be fun to add their Christmas wish list to the ornament. (It's natural for kids to forget what they asked for and received from year to year. This is a way to remember what was in demand from Santa each year!)
Adding a little decoration to these simple ornaments makes the ornaments look handmade and stylish for the season. Using just a little piece of patterned paper and a few pieces of trim can really add to a simple framed ornament.
1. Find a basic, inexpensive photo frame. Search your local dollar store and discount aisles.
2. Using a one inch strip of patterned paper and a Fiskars border punch, punch the strip of paper.
3. Take a XL glue dot and fold the strip of punched paper into an accordion, placing it as you fold onto the glue dot. As you fold and bend the strip of paper in a circular motion, it will begin to look like a flower. Add a button or rhinestone to the top of the flower using another glue dot or hot glue. Attach the flower to the ornament with a hot glue gun
4. Accordion fold a 4x5 inch piece of patterned paper and layer with a piece of tulle or ribbon and attach to the ornament hanger. You can also add present tags with names and dates here if desired. Buttons, and other Christmas charms or embellishments can also be added to the ornament for extra style.
5. Insert a photo into the photo frame. Using the XL Round and Round Fiskars punch, punch a circle from patterned paper. Write your Christmas Wish on the circle and add it to the back of the frame .

Cordova takes on Cullman in today's nightcap at 7:30 p.m.
"I'm looking forward to it," Cordova coach Randy Stracner said. "I'm anxious to see how we come out against them. Cullman will have a good team. I want us to come out and play the way we are capable of playing — win or lose. It should be a good test for us."
Today's tournament opens with Parrish facing Homewood at 4:30 p.m. A junior varsity game between Cordova and Cullman follows at 6 p.m.
Oakman 73, Cordova 54
Four Oakman players scored in double figures and the Wildcats pulled away from Cordova in a 73-54 victory over the Blue Devils on Thursday.

Unlike the season opener against Curry, where only Smith scored in double figures. The Bulldogs had three hit double digits with Smith scoring 22 points, Henson putting in 18 and Stevie Simerly scoring 10.
"We have to have at least two more guys who can get close to double figures other than Gerald. We did that tonight," Carbon Hill coach Robert Epps said. "We still missed a bunch of layups, but it's just the second game."

DALLAS – A Dallas City Council committee this morning voted to move forward with two development projects aimed to invigorate downtown and a portion of the city's southern sector.
The Economic Development Committee heard a briefing about the proposed PGA-class golf course that would be built off Interstate 45 along Loop 12 that Mayor Mike Rawlings announced on Friday.
The city, AT&T and Southern Methodist University would help form a nonprofit to build and run the golf course.
Assistant City Manager Ryan Evans disclosed that course construction will not begin until the Byron Nelson Championship, currently played in Irving, is signed on to relocate to the Dallas course. This is the latest sign that the PGA tournament would relocate to the new course –– during the press conference Friday, AT&T announced it would be the title sponsor once HP's contract expires in 2015.
As well as securing a Nelson commitment, the nonprofit also needs to raise $20 million to get construction started by the spring of 2013. The new Dallas course is set to open in 2016.
Council members warmly received the presentation and said that it would be a great opportunity for southern Dallas.
The committee was also briefed about a land swap between the city and Woodbine Development, the Dallas-based real estate company that owns the Reunion Hyatt Regency. The city would give up the land where Reunion Arena once stood and receive Woodbine land near the Dallas Convention Center in return.
Ultimately, the plan is for the city to develop the land it would acquire near the Dallas Convention Center into residential, office and destination type locations. Woodbine would develop the Reunion Arena site into office space.
The full city council will consider these items on Wednesday.

Preliminary observations compiled by the House Ear Institute (HEI) from free hearing screenings at the three largest pro audio industry tradeshows indicate a pattern in the degree of hearing loss experienced by music and audio professionals. These observations were gathered informally in variable conditions, to get an overview of how hearing loss might vary between individuals in different niches within this industry.
The screenings are part of HEI's Sound Partners David program, which raises awareness of permanent hearing loss caused by overexposure to excessive sound levels among audio and music professionals. The program is partially funded by corporate sponsorship.
"The confidential screening tests allow industry professionals a convenient method to determine their hearing thresholds," says Dilys Jones, director of marketing, HEI. "Sound engineers, audio system contractors, music producers and professional musicians are dependent on their ears to hear a wide range of frequencies for their careers, but are also at high risk for noise-induced hearing loss."
HEI has recorded the results of free hearing screenings offered to attendees at the annual Audio Engineering Society (AES) tradeshow since 1997. An average of 15% of those tested were diagnosed by certified Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) technicians as having mild to serious hearing loss.
Since 1998, free hearing screenings have been available to attendees at the annual National System Contractors Association (NSCA) Expo. A hearing deficit was evident in 26% of the participants screened at this event by certified OSHA technicians.
At the International Music Products Association (NAMM) winter 2002 show, an average of 25% of participants in the free hearing screenings showed a hearing deficit.
"Our observations indicate that people who install audio systems or who are constantly subjected to amplified music are more likely to have hearing loss than sound engineers, who appear to be more aware of controlling sound in their environment." Jones explains. "Regardless of their field, music and audio industry professionals need to be constantly alert of the possible dangers to their ears in their everyday work. Once your natural hearing is gone, it can't be replaced."
The House Ear Institute (HEI) is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing hearing science through research and education to improve the quality of life. Established in 1946 by Howard P. House, MD, as the Los Angeles Foundation of Otology, and later renamed for its founder, the House Ear Institute has been engaged in the scientific exploration of the auditory system from the ear canal to the cortex of the brain for more than 55 years.
HEI scientists continue to explore the developing ear and ear diseases at the cell and molecular level and work to improve hearing aids and auditory implants, clinical treatments and intervention methods.

The Redskins waived RB Keiland Williams on Saturday and signed WR Brandon Banks from the team's practice squad.
Heading into their Week Four game against the Eagles, the Redskins have three running backs on their active roster: Clinton Portis, Ryan Torain and Chad Simpson.
Williams, an undrafted rookie out of LSU, had six catches for 29 yards this season.
Banks is a 5-foot-7 rookie out of Kansas State. He began the season on Washington's 53-man roster but was cut before the Week Three game vs. St. Louis and then added to the team's practice squad. He's expected to be used primarily on special teams.
The way we see it
With only three running backs remaining on the Redskins' roster, these moves were a bit surprising. Washington may try to bring back Williams or add him to their practice squad if he clears waivers.

Plastic surgery is growing in popularity each year, with almost two million surgical procedures taking place in the United States. In the last decade, the total number of plastic surgeries has increased by ninety eight percent, a tremendous increase when the vast majority are paid for out-of-pocket by the patient.
Women are no longer the only people having cosmetic surgery. Men are contributing to the boom in procedures, accounting for over one hundred and fifty thousand plastic surgeries per year. Minorities are also more likely to have cosmetic surgery, with almost a quarter of patients indicating that they are non-Caucasian.
#1 Liposuction
There are two types of liposuction, a surgical procedure that suctions fat from specific areas of the body to provide a slimmer and shapelier silhouette.
In tumescent liposuction, the most popular type, a solution of saline, a drug to constrict blood vessels and a numbing agent are infused into the area to be treated. This liquid, along with fat, is suctioned out of the body using small hollow metal instruments called cannulas. The infusion of liquid can cause short term fluid retention that diminishes over the next few days.
In Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (UAL), the cannula releases ultrasonic energy to melt fat so that it can be suctioned out of the body. UAL has more risks than tumescent liposuction, including the risk of internal and external burns and a lengthier surgery.
The average patient is able to return to work in one to two weeks depending on the area(s) selected for the treatment.
#2 Breast Augmentation
The surgical enlargement of women's breasts has become enormously popular with over 350,000 procedures done every year in America.
Surgery is done for many reasons, to enlarge both breasts, to replace a breast that is absent or to make asymmetrical breasts equal in size. Other women opt for surgery when their breasts do not develop during puberty, a condition called congenital micromastia.
Silicone implants, once banned as a health risk, are increasing in popularity. Almost twenty percent of women choose a silicone implant over saline, citing the more realistic feel of silicone.
Most patients have a one or two weeks recovery before they can return to normal activities. High impact activity, such as running, may require additional healing time.
#3 Blepharoplasty
Eye lid reshaping surgery is can be done for cosmetic reasons or to improve vision in patients where the eyelids obstruct vision. Too much skin or sagging skin can cause vision to be impaired and contributes to the appearance of aging.
Lower eyelids with chronic puffiness or wrinkling are often reduced during the procedure for a more youthful appearance. Fat pads under the eyes causing the appearance of "bags" are removed as necessary in the lower lid procedure.
The average recovery from this surgery is about ten days, with swelling becoming less noticeable for weeks or months.
#4 Abdominoplasty
Commonly known as a tummy tuck or a lower body lift, abdominoplasty removes excess skin from the abdominal area and tightens the skin that remains.
This surgery is growing in popularity, primarily among women who have excess skin after being pregnant or after losing significant weight after bariatric surgery. The ideal candidate does not have excess fat deposits in the abdomen to remove but too much skin hanging from the abdomen.
Most patients are able to resume normal activities in two to three weeks, but may have limits on physical activity for a longer period of time.
#5 Breast Reduction
A woman's breast reduction surgery is one of the few plastic surgeries that insurance does pay for routinely, as the benefits go far beyond an improved appearance.
Women with very heavy or overly large breasts often have difficulty finding clothing that fits, experience chronic back pain and poor posture. Ideally, the surgery to reduce both the size and weight of the breasts will relieve back pain and improve posture.
The surgery is a permanent solution to having disproportionate breasts and most patients return to work within two weeks.

Bango helps returning soldier surprise kids
MAR 30, 2013 9:21p ET
So upon returning from a nine-month tour of duty in Afghanistan, Neumuth thought he'd make the return from his first overseas deployment since joining the Army nearly two years ago a memorable one.
During the first timeout in Saturday's game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder, the Waukesha, Wis., native stood alongside the Bucks' mascot as his 12-year-old stepdaughter Alexa and 5-year-old son Max believed they were participating in a blindfolded game of hot and cold with Bango. The game led the kids to Bango — with Neumuth close by — waiting for a hug when the blindfolds came off.
"You see it all the time on YouTube, and when I was in Afghanistan I saw a couple of recent ones at college football games," Neumuth told FOXSportsWisconsin.com. "I knew when we were coming back and looking at the schedules, and I just asked the Bucks if they were interested in helping me out. They were more than happy to.
"My heart was beating out of my chest just thinking about it. I've come back to the airport before and my son was all giddy with a complete smile."
Neumuth is back in Wisconsin for a month before he will head to Fort Hood in Texas. He's planning on taking Alexa on a trip to the Mall of America in Minneapolis and heading to Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., with Max.
"Individual trips so I can spend individual time with them," Neumuth said. "It's nice having both of them, but you need that one-on-one time with them, too.
"It's all I look forward to. Now that I'm back (in the United States), it gets expensive but I try to come back for as many four-day weekends as I can to see my kids."

So the IQ of Nikon lenses ends up being this enigma with no definition outside the usual comments.
There are lots of tests of many lenses - photozone, SLRgear, DPReview, etc. all test both Canon and Nikon lenses. There's no mystery-wrapped enigma, in general (although there are obviously exceptions) where both have a similar lens, the IQ of the Canon lens is better.
Now, if you specifically mean the supertele lenses, there aren't many tests of those from either brand. What tests there are favor Canon, which given their advantage at shorter focal lengths, use of fluorite elements, etc., makes logical sense.
Who knows - maybe the Nikon camp is running the tests, but are too embarrassed to publish the data... (kidding)
why use fluorite ? when Nikon have their "new SuperED glass" and the optical properties of this new glass closely resemble those of fluorite, Super ED glass is more resilient to rapid temperature changes (thermal shock) and not as susceptible to cracking as the crystal structure of fluorite. Super ED glass also boasts a higher refractive index than fluorite, making it highly capable of correcting aberrations other than chromatic aberration.
And fluorite is also one reason that NASA will not have anything to do with Canons " fluorite lenses" in the space.
Fluorite still offers superior dispersion control over ED/SuperED/UD/SuperUD elements. Canon has both UD and SuperUD glass, which is exactly the same as ED and SuperED, and they have clearly demonstrated the superiority of Fluorite over low dispersion glass for controlling the dispersion of light. SuperED glass is NOT better than Fluorite at correcting CA! It should also be noted that low dispersion glass only offers improved dispersion control...it is not inherently capable of significantly correcting other aberrations unless it is paired with other elements, or aspheric....however those solutions to other aberrations are not limited to low dispersion glass...any glass, or Fluorite, could be used for those purposes as well.
Fluorite IS more fragile, however not as fragile as many might think. Canon has buffered element mounts that reduce shock on the elements these days anyway, so cracking due to a drop or bump isn't a very big concern. Regarding thermal shock...that requires SHOCK, and that can only occur if the temperature changes VERY rapidly. Moving a lens into a house from outside on a cold night is not going to be cracking any fluorite lens elements any time soon.
Finally, you need to back up that last statement. Why wouldn't NASA take a Canon lens with fluorite into space? To my knowledge, none of the Nikon equipment has ever been used outside the spacecraft...so there is no need to be concerned about thermal shock. Nikon's newest lenses are beginning to employ fluorite (anything with the FL moniker is a lens that uses Fluorite elements)...I'd guess because otherwise they could not compete with the kind of IQ Canon is currently pumping out with their fluorite lenses. An example of a fluorite lens from Nikon is the new 800mm, which uses two fluorite elements. So, according to your anecdote...NASA won't be able to use future Nikon lenses either...right?

Trends come and go in terms of kitchen design - from French country to a sleek modern design. There are thousands of options you can go with and sometimes it's hard to decide which is your favorite.
One that I will never get tired of is white subway tile. Whether it goes to the bottom of the cabinet or all the way up to the ceiling - this look will never go out of style. It's simple, clean and you can add any furniture or lighting to give it your own sense of style.
Luckily with a clean designed kitchen you can add in elements that represent your style – industrial lighting over the table, modern chairs at your dining room table or glam it up with a beautiful chandelier. Skies the limit!

Another way to spice it up, change the color of the grout that surrounds your subway tile, which makes a graphic statement. Now, I'd love to hear your thoughts of what you think of white subway tile in your kitchen. Yay or Nay?

We're neck deep in decorating our new apartment in New York City, but there's one room that's nearly completed: our bedroom! One of the pieces that we purchased last but has made the biggest impact are a set of mirrored storage dressers, which we placed next to each other to create one large storage unit.
At first, I was very against getting mirrored dressers, because I felt like they'd show every single finger print, and I wasn't sure if they'd feel too glam in our otherwise fairly neutral bedroom.
All that being said, I couldn't be happier! Mirrored dressers and cabinets are such a classic accent piece and can add a bit of sparkle and shine into rooms that might otherwise fall flat.
Mirrored dressers can be pricey, but I've found that the ones we ordered from Euro Style Lighting have offered great quality at a really affordable price. In fact, when recently shopping around for other mirrored storage options for a different room, check out this price difference I came across:

What does it look like when art, design and theoretical science collide? Something like these 3D printed pendant lamps by Nervous System that we recently found on Velhetica. The detail is mesmerizing:
Built using a computer program that models nature's complex process of patterning such everyday things as animal's fur or a fish's scales, these designs show an extraordinary amount of depth. A video shows the process in animated form:

Our lady can't wait to hang a trio of these Franklin Iron Works Rust Mini Pendant Lights above the prep space in her kitchen! they lend a beautiful dose of spice and an industrial look.
A pair of these sleek Fuji Stainless Steel with Brown Stacker Bar Stools are a nice accent to Ms. Leather + Spice's eat-in counter. The thick cushion makes a perfect perch for answering emails or flipping through a magazine.
The days are slowly growing shorter, but this Robert Abbey Bruno Bronze Dark Nickel Pharmacy Floor Lamp makes it worth it. Our Miss loves curling up under its focused light.
A pair of Draper Draper White Leatherette Zuo Lounging Chairs make for a cozy, cocoon-like space around the cocktail table. Ms. Leather + Spice's guests always fight for these seats and never want to leave!

In my interior styling courses, I always suggest that a styled space is not complete without two key things: botanicals and bling. A little greenery and a little bit of sparkle are the finishing touches that make a space truly lively.
Today, I'm sharing my favorite type of bling: brass. Brass is classy and classic, it can feel both retro and modern, sophisticated and playful--and it definitely pumps up the glam factor. Add a bit of shiny brass in the form of a desk lamp, ceiling lamp or side-table to your space and it will automatically add a touch of chic to your room.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

---- — To the editor:
Kudos to Gloucester Daily Times Editor Ray Lamont.
Though he and I, more often than not, have differing opinions on the news of the day, I appreciate that he and others kept the paper publishing during a situation when a lapse might have been understood. He even wrote the right front-page lead story himself ("Confronting Sandy," the Times, Monday, Oct. 29) to deliver without a break in reaching the public.
I wonder if he slept on his desk overnight?
Editor's Note: No, I didn't sleep here overnight. Also, everyone with our news, advertising and circulation teams did a great job pressing on during the storm. — Ray Lamont, Editor, Gloucester Daily Times and gloucestertimes.com.

There are too many suicides at the Ausable Chasm bridge. High fencing and/or netting should be installed on both sides of the bridge to stop the jumping.
If you can't afford to properly tip your waitress, don't go out to eat. I don't know how many times my wife comes home from work and says she received $4 on a $60 or $7 on a $90. This is her livelihood.
Why do landlords feel that they don't have to plow driveways by at least 7 a.m. so their tenants can get to work on time? The lease says snow removal, but plowing seems to be at the owner's convenience.
It was so nice to read the paper. no huge tax increase. Thanks to Canadians coming to Plattsburgh to shop. Imagine if the residents shopped local for everything they buy online. Buy local, cars to pens.
Too many stray cats in the area wandering aimlessly in and out streets without food, water and shelter. In the last two weeks, I have noticed three stray dogs wandering around my neighborhood, looking for something to eat. This is unacceptable and downright cruel.
We want to thank the people who ran over and killed our kitten on Nov. 19 and just left her body in the road, 20 feet from our front door. Accidents happen, but how hard would it have been to let us know? We may have been able to save her.
To the people who assume all teenagers are no good and wild, I suggest you go look at the ones who are volunteering and doing good for the community instead of the ones you are acquainted with.
Black Friday at department store out of control. Dangerous. Fights. Isn't there maximum-occupancy laws? Law about inciting a riot? People taking items before sale started. Taking 10 to 12 of item so others got none. Items gone two hours before sale started.
I am getting tired of these different places who have delivery people who wear the same clothes and smell like cigarette smoke. That smoke is also on the food they deliver.
It may not be healthy for hair to get dyed too much. But I can think of a lot worst things a person can do. Such as smoking pot and telling off the principal at school.

More than a week after a major snowstorm...
Hundreds of residents in rural North Dakota are still without power...
A heavy snow storm last Friday has left behind miles of downed power lines in parts of North Dakota.
Although utility crews have been hot on the trail-- working to fix the problem--The weather continues to slow the recovery.
Stephanie Scheurer takes us to New Leipzig, where lineman are still braving the elements to restore electricity.
"It's pretty challenging through these storms. I mean, this is kind of the tougher part of the job. But when it isn't it's a lot of fun though too," says Wayde Eckroth, Apprentice Lineman.
Wayde Eckroth is an Apprentice Lineman, just one of 80 lineman of Mor-Gran-Sou working hard to restore power in Southwest North Dakota.
"The crew I'm with is pretty much just setting poles. We're going along with our skidsters just setting them and then we have a crew behind us that is stringing up wire and pulling up the wire," says Eckroth.
Since over a week ago, when the snow storm plowed its way through the state, Wayde and his crew have been replacing about 30 poles a day.
But the rain has slowed them down a bit and crews have been pulled back in because of safety issues.
"It becomes very unsafe with these trucks on some of these roads when they get really wet and greasy. Trying to move poles when the wind is blowing 60 miles an hour is almost impossible. And so the guys have been working as hard as they can, but, because of safety issues, they have to make some judgement calls," Don Franklund, Co-Manager/CEO, Mor-Gran-Sou, Slope, Roughrider, and Kem Electric.
Most of those still without power are rural consumers and workers say they've been very understanding.
"They've been really patient with us. It takes time. Conditions aren't very good,"
"And they work with us. They will let us know where the problems are, they'll let us know where damage is. And while they want the power restored as quickly as we can get it to them, they're very understanding,"
The day that power is fully restored may be clear as mud right now...but you can rest assured that these lineman will get the job done as quickly and safely as they can.
"No matter what, we'll be here tomorrow. We'll be working on it again tomorrow and we'll continue working on it until the power is restored.
As of today, Mor-Gran-Sou still has 319 consumers without power and Slope has 50.
Franklund says they hope to have power restored sometime next week.

WASHINGTON, Ill. -- While many of us are still recovering from that Thanksgiving feast, one local chef still has baking on her mind.
It was a raucous applause welcoming home Jessica Reyling Monday night.
They were celebrating the the premiere of the new TLC show The Next Great Baker, on which Reyling is a contestant.
"I did not know what to expect," said Reyling. "I had never been on television, I had never been mic'd, I had never been in lights."
Reyling, a Peoria Native, said she didn't expect to make the show at all when she first applied.
Her husband, however, wasn't surprised at all.
"I knew she was going to do well," said Scott Reyling, "she makes great cakes and it tastes great, I know that from experience."
Jess competed with 13 other contestant's in the show hosted by the Cake Boss's Buddy Valastro for a grand prize of $100,000 dollars.
The show focuses on the decorating side of baking which Jess says fits right into her style.
"I tend to look at everyday things and see cake decorating in them," said Reyling, "like dresses and clothes, architecture, certain textures, I say 'oh, this would be so awesome as a cake.'"
The mother of three, Jess says she has received overwhelming support from the community during her time away.
"I learned the most how much it really does take the love and support of your family to really pursue something especially as big as this," said Reyling. "Especially when your going to be gone and you can't talk to them very much. Just get out there and do it, if you've got something deep in your heart that you've been kinda hem-hawing around about you gotta put your self out there or else it's never going to happen."
As for the results of the show, Jess is keeping her lips shut.
"You'll have to watch to see how I did, sorry," said Reyling.

Padres skipper likely to get extension
Club's brass enthused with Black's performance at helm
SAN DIEGO -- A day after Padres CEO Jeff Moorad confirmed that manager Bud Black would likely have his contract extended "at some point," general manager Kevin Towers gave Black a ringing endorsement for the job he's done.
"He certainly warrants an extension," Towers said prior to Saturday's game against the Dodgers at PETCO Park. "I personally feel he's done his best job of managing this year in the three years he has been here ... considering the product, the inexperience, youth, the injuries that he's had to deal with.
"To keep this team competitive, he's done a very nice job."
San Diego took a 34-45 record into Saturday's game against the Dodgers, and the club was 16 1/2 games behind Los Angeles in the National League West.
Black is 186-218 in 2 1/2 seasons. This season, he has had to deal with a rash of injuries, as three members of the projected Opening Day starting rotation -- Jake Peavy, Chris Young and Cha Seung Baek -- have missed a combined 118 games.
Shortstop Everth Cabrera missed 52 games with a broken hamate bone, and outfielder Scott Hairston missed 16 games in June when the team went 9-19.
Towers commended Black for everything from his relationship with his players to two new members of the coaching staff [hitting coach Jim Lefebvre and bench coach Ted Simmons] and his ability to continue to learn the NL.
"I think he's shown a little more emotion this year. He's a little more comfortable in his shoes," Towers said.
Towers said discussions on extending Black's contract -- a three-year deal he signed before his first season in 2007 -- started in Spring Training, though Black never once brought up the subject.
"He's handled it like a champ," Towers said. "From the conversations I've had with Jeff [Moorad], he's been very pleased [with Black]."
