Everything went smoothly, go eat lunch, waiting for our room to be ready. The room was ready about 1:30, nice spaces for 2 people, enough draws and cubbies to store all our belongings.
The service was great, almost every crew member we saw greeted us with a smile or pleasantry. All the people working on the ship are friendly and eager to help.
The only complain I had was with the food, it is not the lacking of it, it is the food are generally bland and the seafood does not taste as fresh as it should be. I love fish, but after couple tries, I gave up on them, the Trout that I had on the dinner (main dinner room) tasted fishy, the trout should be a mild fish, but something was not right. The baked fish I had in the lunch buffet was not much better either. They are not spoiled or anything, just not quiet right, and most of the dish dose not have much flavor, I really am not a food snub, and pretty easy going on food, but I do expect better tasting food on a cruise.
The Shrimp Louie(appetizer choice) on the first dinner service should be a good indicator, I was shocked to see the shrimp are small than my pinky fingernail and I was not kidding. My friend joking say those are "shrimp want-to-be". 2nd night dinner the lady at our table ordered a Shrimp scamp, but what come out was a plate of pasta with 4 shrimps on them, she was not pleased.
Not all food are bad, of course, just more miss than hits. The only exception was our dinner at the Quine (their speciality restaurant), the decoration remind me of Alison in the wonderland (in a good way), the concept and the menu are very fun and unique, wish I can try more, but we have to put a stop on the offering before they served everything. The crab cake, steak, shrimp are all very good and love the way the put more fun into the eating experience, truly a excellent dinner.
The state room attentent was very efficient, and the room was always made up, trash cleaned and ice bucket filled, but no tower animal, so it feels like the job was very well done, just no "extra" to light up your face when you walk into your room.
The view in Alaska is breath taking, and I really want to go back and see more of it, this time we booked all our excursion though the cruise ship, and every one of it was good, we were very well taking care of and no complain what so ever. The Whale watching was the best, definitely should not be missed.
Will I sail with Celebrity again ? yes, I probably just need to adjust my expectation to the food :-)

Andrew Slack Gives TEDx Talk in RomeMisc
October 22, 2011, 07:30 PM
Andrew Slack, creator of the Harry Potter Alliance, recently gave a TEDx
talk in Rome. The TED company holds conferences about "ideas worth
spreading." Of the TEDx talk he gave, Andrew Slack had to say:
At the end of September I had the privilege to give a TEDx Talk in Rome
I talked before a room of over 80 broadcasters throughout Europe about the Harry Potter Alliance, cultural dreamwork, cultural acupuncture, and the power of stories to transform our world.
I discussed where the HPA has been and implied where we are going with Imagine Better.
If nothing else, I hope this 13 minute talk can be something that you find helpful in showing your friends, family, teachers, and coworkers why loving Harry Potter is not crazy, why being in a fan community is amazing, and why you are a member of the Harry Potter Alliance.
We stand at an important precipice right now as an organization and as a fandom in demonstrating what we have done and what we will do in proving that "it's time for the good guys to use the power of story."
Thank you for everything you do for the HPA and our world, and I hope to see you at the Quidditch World Cup!
You can watch Andrew Slack's speech here or below.

An Air New Zealand riddle about a steroid-enhanced female shot putter from the Olympics is causing turbulence, the Dominion-Post reported. Twitter followers have called it "transphobic" and in bad taste.
According to the paper, the airline's "Christmas Cracker" promotion at its Grabaseat website offered a joke as a consolation for those who do not win any prizes. One was: "What large heavy ball was responsible for Valerie Adams' gold medal? The Belarusian's left testicle."
Adams is the New Zealand athlete who was awarded the Olympics gold medal after Nadzeya Ostapchuk of Belarus, the original women's champion, at the London Olympics, tested positive for steroids.
The Gay Express in New Zealand quoted a couple of Twitter followers.
"@johubris tweeted "Hey @FlyAirNZ @grabaseat this joke is unbelievably offensive, transphobic and just plain unnecessary. Really poor form/"
@JaggyL tweeted "Nadzeya Ostapchuk had her medal stripped for taking steroids, not for not being feminine enough for sexist bigots."
@Desdrata tweeted (as per the Dominion-Post): ''Wow, can't believe you guys thought that was something good to post online.''
Perhaps adding insult to an already questionable stab at humor following threats to boycott the carrier, the Sydney Morning Herald said Air New Zealand responded by tweeting: "not everyone likes our xmas cracker jokes so tell us your tacky kiwi jokes & we'll add our favourites into the cracker."
Lana Wachowski
Award-winning filmmaker Lana Wachowski, who's best known for co-writing and -directing the "Matrix" trilogy with her brother, Andy Wachowski, was the first major Hollywood director to come out as transgender in July 2012.

In May he published his memoir Transition: The Story Of How I Became A Man, and was previously a contestant on "Dancing With The Stars. He was also named one of Out magazine's 100 LGBT people of the year.
Janet Mock
Since coming out as transgender, former People.com editor Janet Mock has become a prominent voice and face for the trans community. She's been named to The Grio's 100 most influential people and Sundance Channel's top 10 LGBT voices.

Christine Jorgensen (1926 - 1989)
In 1952, Christine Jorgensen became the first widely known person to undergo gender confirmation surgery. The late trans activist, who died at 62 in 1989, decided the intrigued media wouldn't dictate her image. Jorgensen openly spoke about her transition and once said, "I decided if they wanted to see me, they would have to pay for it." Before her transition, Jorgensen served as a clerk in the Army and in 1967 she released a memoir titled Christine Jorgensen: A Personal Biography.
Lucas Silveira
Silveira is the lead singer of the band The Cliks.

Renée Richards
Richards is an ophthalmologist, author and former professional tennis player. After transitioning in 1975, she was banned from playing in the U.S. Open by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) because only biological women were allowed to participate in the tournament. Richards fought the ban and a 1977 New York Supreme Court decision ruled in her favor. She continued to play until 1981. This fall a documentary about Richards's life, "Renée," was released.
Isis King
King was the first (and, thus far, only) trans model to be featured on the reality fashion competition "America's Next Top Model." She was seen on both the 11th and 17th cycles of the show.
Thomas Beatie
In 2008 Thomas Beatie became famous when he revealed that he was pregnant with his first child. Soon after Beatie and his wife, Nancy, made headlines and he became known as "the pregnant man." The couple now has three children, all carried by Thomas, and he recently revealed that he is considering undergoing a hysterectomy.
Marci Bowers, M.D.
Dr. Marci Bowers is a pioneer in the field of gender confirmation surgery and is the first known trans woman to perform these types of procedures.

Jenna Talackova
Jenna Talackova made headlines in April 2012 when she was booted from the Miss Universe Canada pageant. Talackova fought back and ultimately was allowed back into the competition. She spoke with Barbara Walters and said, "I feel like the universe, the creator, just put me in this position as an advocate," she continues. "If it's helping anybody else by sharing my story and with my actions, then I feel great about it."
Sylvia Rivera (1951 - 2002)
A veteran of the 1969 Stonewall uprising (some claim she threw the first heel), Rivera fought for the rights of all queer people, not just those who fit into more homonormative molds. Described by Riki Wilchins as "the Rosa Parks of the modern transgender movement," Rivera founded Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, or STAR, "a radical group that did everything from marching to setting up crash pads as an alternative to the streets," among other activist roles. Today The Sylvia Rivera Law Project, which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine gender identity and expression regardless of income or race, and Sylvia's Place, a NYC emergency homeless shelter for LGBT youth, both exist to honor Rivera's life and work.
Billy Tipton (1914 - 1989)
Tipton was a saxophone and piano player and bandleader popular during the 1940's and '50s. He eventually settled down in Spokane, Washington, got married, and adopted three sons.

Laverne Cox
The transgender activist Laverne Cox came to our attention when she first appeared on VH1's "I Want to Work for Diddy," which made her the first African-American transgender woman to be on a mainstream reality TV series. The show went on to win GLAAD's media award for outstanding reality program in 2009 where Cox accepted the honor and spoke about transgender visibility (VIDEO). Since appearing on Diddy's show, Cox got her own VH1 reality series, "TRANSform Me," which got its own GLAAD media award nomination in 2011. She then exploded within the entertainment industry after becoming a breakout star in the Netflix original series "Orange Is The New Black." The pioneer continues her advocacy in public engagements and frequently writes about trans issues for The Huffington Post.
Kate Bornstein
The writer, playwright and performance artist is the author of several seminal tomes on gender theory including 1994's Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us.

He has spoken around country, including an appearance at Yale University in 2010.
Stu Rasmussen
Rasmussen became the first transgender mayor in the United States when he was elected to the office in Silverton, Oregon in November 2008. He writes on his website:
"I just happen to be [transgender] -- something I didn't even know the word for until I discovered it on the Internet. I've been a crossdresser or transvestite my whole life, only 'coming out' recently and thereby discovering that life goes on very nicely."

Louis Gradon Sullivan (1955 - 1991)
In 1976 Lou G. Sullivan began applying for gender confirmation surgery, but was rejected because he identified as gay. At the time, "female-to-gay male transsexuality was not recognized by the medical/psychotherapeutic establishment as a legitimate form of gender dysphoria at that time." After mounting a successful campaign to get homosexuality removed from a list of objections which served to keep interested candidates from undergoing surgery, Sullivan finally obtained gender confirmation surgery in 1986. That same year he organized FTM, "the first peer-support group devoted entirely to female-to-male [transsexual and transvestite] individuals."
Chris Tina Bruce
Chris Tina Bruce became the first transgender bodybuilding contestant to participate in a competition in San Diego in 2011. Bruce doesn't necessarily identify as male or female, rather as someone who sits in the middle of the gender spectrum. As a motivational speaker, fitness trainer and LGBT-rights activist, Bruce works to increase awareness of gender fluidity and was recently featured on National Geographic Channel's "Taboo: Changing Genders" in September.
Dr. Carys Massarella
Dr. Carys Massarella is likely the first transgender president of a hospital medical staff in the world, working at St. Joseph's Healthcare hospital in Ontario, Canada.

Her new appointment signals perhaps the next battle in transgender rights and visibility in the military.
Marsha P. Johnson (1944 - 1992)
Marsha P. Johnson (P for "Pay it no mind!") was a revered LGBT-rights activist and widely regarded mother figure who reached out and helped homeless NYC LGBT youth. She helped start S.T.A.R, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, a group formed in the early '70s to feed street youth around the city. In the 1969 Stonewall Riots, Johnson fought back against the police raids, standing up against discrimination. Her death in 1992 was written off as a suicide by police, but many believe the late icon was a hate-crime victim.
Carmen Carrera
A contestant on the popular reality TV show "RuPaul's Drag Race" season three, Carmen Carrera competed as a drag queen and later came out as a transgender woman in May 2012 via an episode of ABC's "What Would You Do?"

Whittle, who was recognized with the Order of the British Empire, was instrumental to the European Court of Human Rights' creation of the Gender Recognition Act, legislation that allows trans people to change their legal gender. Whittle co-founded Press for Change, a lobbying group for trans individuals, and openly speaks about being transgender to his students. He said in a 2010 article in a U.K. newspaper, "I won't stop until I have won equal rights for the trans community. We've still a long way to go."

The academic scholar boasts degrees from MIT, Dartmouth and Harvard and brings a unique perspective to gender roles in the scientific community, having gone through gender confirmation surgery at 42 in 1997.

In 2006, Barres spoke with The New York Times and said, "I am very different from the average person. But I have experienced life both as a woman and as a man. I have some experience of how both sexes are treated."
Laura Jane Grace Of Against Me!
Grace is the lead singer of punk band Against Me! She publicly discussed her struggles with gender dysphoria this year, coming out as transgender. When she announced the news at a concert it was followed by the song "Transgender Dysphoria Blues." Speaking to Rolling Stone she said: "The cliché is that you're a woman trapped in a man's body, but it's not that simple. It's a feeling of detachment from your body and from yourself. And It's shitty, man. It's really fucking shitty."
Anna Grodzka
Anna Grodzka became Poland's first transgender woman to serve on its parliament when she was elected in 2011. On her victory, Grodzka said, "It is a symbolic moment, but we owe this symbolism not to me but to the people of Poland because they made their choice."

I cannot fail them in their expectations."

Harvie frequently works with LGBTQ fundraisers and mentors trans men around the nation.
Heather Cassils
Heather Cassils is a Canadian performance artist, body builder and personal trainer now living in Los Angeles. Unlike other artists working in more traditional mediums, Cassils uses her body to investigate issues related to gender, mass consumption and the industrial production of images, among others. Her conceptual pieces, which have been performed in museums and galleries around the world, also highlight transgender or "genderqueer" themes, like in "Cuts: A Traditional Sculpture," for which she spent 23 weeks documenting herself building her body to its maximum capacity by following a strict weightlifting regime, consuming the caloric intake of a 190-male athlete, and taking mild steroids. She also starred in Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video. Earlier this year Cassils told The Huffington Post:
"If you're not going to exist as your biologically-assigned gender or you're not operating [as a transgender person] on one end of the gender spectrum, then you end up in that in between space, inviting that scrutiny... I'm trying to push or create a kind of visual language for my subjectivity -- trying to create visual options. You can tap into people's psyches and have them imagine things that they don't yet have words for. I think that's very powerful. I'm trying to create a slippery language, one -- much like my body -- that doesn't fit."

Andrea James
Writer-producer-director Andrea James started her career making advertisements for Chicago companies but later moved into film and television, creating Deep Stealth Productions, a company that aims to produce more accurate portrayals of transgender issues.

That part of my transition is over. I have been a relatively high profile artist and game developer my entire career and I don't see that changing because I am now acknowledging that I am, oh, by the way, transsexual."
Amanda Lepore
The unmistakable iconic figure Amanda Lepore has captured the media's attention for years. She is a living work of art, frequently featured as photographer David LaChapelle's muse. The New York City transgender nightlife entertainer's recent work includes singles "Champagne" and "My Hair Looks Fierce." Designer Jason Wu also made an Amanda Lepore doll.

Brandon Teena (1972 - 1993)
In a role that earned Hilary Swank an academy award, the actress brought the story of Brandon Teena, to life on the big screen in "Boys Don't Cry." The 1999 film was one of the first mainstream Hollywood productions that featured a trans person as its main character. Brandon Teena was raped by two men. He reported the attack to the police but wasn't taken seriously. Teena's assailants later murdered him on New Year's Eve 1993 as an act of revenge.
Eden Lane
Eden Lane is the only known openly transgender mainstream television broadcaster in the U.S. She hosts "In Focus with Eden Lane," a Colorado Public Television weekly program where Lane talks about the arts and culture. The affable journalist never sought out to be a role model, and until a recent October interview with the Denver Post, Lane had not shared her own story. She also spoke with The Huffington Post and said she didn't want her being transgender to overshadow her work. Lane started her career focusing on community affairs, reporting for PBS gay-issues news show "Colorado Outspoken" and for Logo.

An elderly woman is currently hospitalized after the car she was driving plowed into another vehicle that stopped in front of her.
The unidentified woman was rushed to Benefis Hospital just after noon today following the accident at 10th Avenue and 13th Street.
Witnesses say the vehicle that was hit was stopped at red light when the car driven by the victim apparently failed to slow down. The driver of the black car had no injuries. A third car was slightly damaged in the accident as well, but the female driver of that car and her infant were also uninjured.

Had a small strongman comp today. I won the HW's. Here's the rundown on my events, but I'm not sure how I placed in each individual event.
12" 250 Log Clean Once and Press for Reps - 9 Reps
620 Frame Carry 50' - 7:XX Seconds
255 Keg/350 Duck Walk Medley - 50' each - 23 seconds

Really well run show. We were done in 2.5 hours. Very big thanks to ET for opeining up his home. We have one of the biggest, nicest, strongest crews around. Always a pleasure to train and compete. My training partners came in 2nd and 3rd in the LW's. I'm very proud of those guys!
We also had our group banquet tonight and it was really fun to see some of the guys from IA, NE, and KS. In one room, we had 4 state chairs, 4 national champs, and 4 Pros. Not too shabby of a group
Great work Ben!
AtLarge Nutrition Supplements Get the best supplements and help support Wannabebig!
Thanks Chris!
'Laddy da da... look at me, Im the abnormally freaky strong man'
Just playing, insane stuff! Sounds like you got a god crew, I know the benefit of that.
Being a strong teenager means nothing.
My wrists hurt, but some people don't have wrists to be sore. My knees have tendinitis, but some people don't have legs to get tendinitis in. I seem to be going backwards with training, yet some people can't even walk let alone lift 400 pounds on a daily basis.
Dust out the vagina, and keep on lifting.
Yeah, it was a good comp! You definitely kicked some ass. I'm just glad I'm not in your weight class! I'm more and more impressed everytime I make it up to ET's.

Food on new menus we thought was okay. We are not fish eaters so we did visit the buffet for several dinners. Service in dining room was very good as always.
Thought the balcony space was quite small, our room size was adequate.
Entertainment was just okay. Many of the production shows have been the same for the last few years.
Thought cruise staff was very helpful and pleasant.
We asked for early walk-off on day of disembarkation and received a time of 10:30 AM. We immediately changed that with the purser's desk as that time was totally unacceptable when our car was right there waiting for us.

---- — A 31-year-old man who lives in Manchester was arrested at Gloucester's Railroad Avenue commuter rail station after police observed him drinking alcohol and urinating in public.
Police charged Sean T. Kelley with being a disorderly person and with drinking in public. Though Kelley had been drinking from a Coca-Cola bottle, police recognized the scent emanating from the bottle as alcohol and Kelley allegedly admitted to police that he had been drinking alcohol.
Police said Thursday they were taking out a criminal complaint against a 57-year-old Prospect Square woman after she called police to report a domestic assault and battery, then apologized when officers arrived and said the situation had been a verbal phone argument.
An officer reported that Barbara Gillis appeared intoxicated and was acting "irrational" when police arrived. She first told police about the phone argument, then accused a male roommate of drunken driving.
Police said the man drove up while officers were at the home, but that the officer ascertained the man had not been drinking.

After a monster 2011 and an awful 2012, the Diamondbacks outfielder should fall somewhere in the middle.

The bluefin are back! This fall has been a memorable smackdown of giant bluefin fights off Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. One of the captains who puts anglers onto giants in the fall, Capt. Josh Temple (primetimeadv.com) also found time to take some images aboard and from his boat, shared in this photo gallery, images that will give you a feeling for what a few very lucky anglers got to experience. Here, Skyler Sheaves is about to cut the cord — releasing her first-ever giant bluefin. She bested this beast in less than 45 minutes.

· Ultimate 50mm lens for alt gear?
I currently have a SMC Takumar 50mm 1.4 and a Canon 5D
I had a Zeiss pancolar zebra 50mm 1.8, a helios 58mm f2, a pentacon 50mm 1.8, a canon ef 50mm 1.4 etc
I'm interested to know what are the best 50mm lenses out there, for us alternative gear heads.
I know that if I sell my Takumar 50mm 1.4 & my jupiter 85mm f2 I 'll have the cash for a EF 50mm 1.4, but I don't want that anymore.
I could sacriface these two lenses for either a good 50mm 1.2 manual lens or a 50mm 1.4 lens...
or sacrifice one for a good 50mm 1.5 - 1.7 lens..
Sometimes i am in doubt and don't know what I really want from a good 50 mm lens.
Do i wanat character? do I want sharpness? do I want bokeh? do I want contrast,colors, and no CA, fringing & etc?
From most 50mm lenses I shot with,I was pleased with the Pancolar 50mm 1.8 (it was a zebra, but the glass was from a MC version).
What other 50mm lenses are out there that are worth taking a look?
If you can contribute with your opinions/experience/samples...
I was considering the Planar 50mm 1.4 (cy mount with adapter to eos EF) is it any good? is it worth the money? (it's more expensive than my current takumar 50mm 1.4, is it worth the difference? any better?)
if this 50mm issue has been discussed on some other thread, perhaps you can provide me the link

As you mention, there are many different dimensions to what makes a lens "ultimate," a lot of it up to personal tastes in rendering.
The upcoming/announced Zeiss 55/1.4 will probably set the standard for "ultimate" performance in sharpness/contrast along with excellent rendering, but is very large and expensive.
The C/Y 50/1.7 is a fun and relatively inexpensive lens, providing similar capabilities (aside from f1.4) with Zeiss-style "pop" to the Planar 50/1.4.
The Leica Summicron-R 50/2 is an excellent all-around lens; perhaps not the absolute best in any one category (speed, sharpness, bokeh, etc.), but one of the best "balanced" 50mm's for reliably pleasing performance.
An SMC Macro-Takumar 50/4 is slow and not great at infinity due to field curvature, but at medium/close distances is extremely sharp and contrasty (though with busy bokeh and somewhat "flat" rendering). And the build quality of these Takumars is, IMO, the best of any lenses. For the low price of this lens ($50-$100), it is a nice option that can really shine under the right conditions. The Oly OM 50/3.5 Macro is a similar consideration.

The 50mm 1.4 ZE would be great if you want lots character (the Zeiss pop), 50MP is also superb and still has the Zeiss pop with a more "clinical" render. I like the Rokkor 58mm 1.2 because it has beautiful bokeh IMHO. There are also Leica crons and lux, if you look at the R-thread Alex has posted some samples with his E60 lux which is my personal favourite although I have never owned one. I personally use a 50MP its sharp wide open with beautiful smooth rendering. I don't know any 50mm that has good control over CA/fringing.
You can see some shots I've taken with the 50mm

The Olympus OM 50/2 Macro has reasonably good (better than normal for 50mm-ish lenses) control over color fringing, and is quite sharp. Its rendering can be a bit "nervous," and global contrast is somewhat low. For a slow 50mm lens, the Contax Vario-Sonnar 35-70/3.5 is very nicely corrected (at f5.6+, better performance than most 50mm primes) --- highly recommended.

thanks for the replies.
I forgot to mention that expensive lenses are pretty much out of the question. If I had the money, I'd probably go and buy a 50 1.2L which has AF and be done with it...
I can't even decide for myself what I want...
I mean, If I wanna go down the 50-55-58mm 1.2 lens road, I know that I can't expect the lens to excel in sharpness or anything at 1.2 You buy a 1.2 lens for its character and feel of the photos that it takes...
If I wanna go down the 50-55-58mm 1.4 lens road, I'll consider sharpness also, because I can accept a not-that-razor-sharp 1.2 lens, but a 1.4 one should perform better...
And as far as 1.7 1.8 or 2.0 lenses are concerned, if I were to get one of these, it would really have to be a performer,since i would renounce fast aperture (such as 1.2 or 1.4, for 1.8, 2.0 )
I don't want to become a snob and get a lens just because it looks cool or just because it's 'sought after' by others on the internet.
I remember that a few months ago I desperately wanted a 58mm Biotar, just because it looks how it looks and because it's a zeiss..
That was stupid,because any Helios (44M-2, -4,-6,-7) performs perhaps exactly the same (or better) than that lens..
I had a Tair-11A (133mm silver lens, 20 blades, 2.8 aperture, m39 mount) and I felt so 'cool' owning it....instead of caring more about the photos it took. (it was actually a pretty good lens)
I sold it when I bought the 135L (which pretty much destroys any other 100/135mm lenses), but I don't have the 135L anymore now...
So in order to have a more accurate 'input' from you guys, on this issue, I would like to know:
in terms of 50-55-58mm 1.2 lenses, which are worth looking at (and mention what are their strenghts & weaknesses, for instance this is sharp and has no CA, or this is soft but has etc etc)
also in terms of 50-55-58mm 1.4 /1.5 lenses....and then in terms of 50-55-58mm 1.7/1.8/2.0 lenses
I'm not interested in lenses slower than 2.0
many thanks and I appreciate the effort.

For f1.2 lenses, I like my Minolta Rokkor 58/1.2 ("MC Rokkor PG"; there are a few coating/barrel variations with similar optical performance). However, the lens requires a mount conversion, filing down the rear element retaining ring, and luck to clear the 5D mirror at infinity. Wide open, the lens has low contrast but reasonably good fine detail across the frame, and smooth bokeh. Lens performance stopped down is also good compared to similar era 50/1.4-2 lenses. There are some 50-58mm Nikkors that, from what I have seen (I haven't owned one), provide similar sharpness at a lower price and guaranteed 5D compatibility, but tend towards more nervous/bright-ring bokeh.
For slower, the CY 50/1.7 is the best bargain for Zeissy contrast and pop. It's lower priced (and lower build quality), but similar performance to its 50/1.4 "brother," which is basically the same optics in CY or ZE mounts. Wide open, bokeh can be a bit "wild" (bright rings), but sharpness, contrast, and "pop" are excellent. Stopped down, it is a superbly sharp landscape lens (though pentagonal bokeh can be an issue for closer subjects).
If you like the convenience of native mount and auto-aperture, the Voigtlander Ultron 40/2 SL (I or II) might be a good choice. This lens has about the best global contrast performance I've seen (can capture extremely bright and dark regions in the same scene without flare washing out the shadows), though local contrast has some issues with purple flare seeping across edges. The CV 40/2 is like a slightly better corrected version of all the "classic" 50/1.8-2 designs (more uniform sharpness and decreased, but not absent, artifacts towards frame edges). Build quality/handling is excellent.

I like it quite well actually.
My 5dc has a problem (for which I will open a different thread on Canon, to ask the 'elders')
But the lens performs very well. In fact I have to wonder why am I thinking of different 50mm lenses, and perhaps I should focus on photographing or increasing photographic skills...

Very nice samples and look sharp enough. Rendering has a character without being too nervous in the oof background (branches are always tough, so no wonders expected here).
I guess these were wide open or close to wide open? Bokeh is probably somewhat smoother at F2.8.

What ... no gear lust or GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) ... blasphemy.
Actually, looking at your pics, may cause some GAS for others.
I'm not a 50's shooter much, but the C/Y 50/1.7 is a nicely regarded lens (in my bag), and I prefer it's drawing style to the C/Y 50/1.4 (on my shelf). The Rokkor 58/1.2 is on my maybe someday list (along with a few others), but the drawing styles here are vastly different. The key aspect isn't "better" ... but different. Knowing what you want out of a lens will determine whether or not its differences are "better" for you or not.
If you have a lens that has rapid transitions that produces contrast is spades, it might not serve as well for those images where you want smooth tones. Conversely, glass that produces smooth tones may not have as much contrast ...etc.
I tend to think of my lenses like different paint brushes or chisels ... which one you pick up kinda depends on what you are planning to do with it.

Also consider the 50mm 1.4 Sigma. It got bad press for poor AF but is supposed to be an excellent lens optically. The 58/1.4 VC (Voigtlander) SL is also very good.

I actually really enjoy the rendering of the Canon 50mm 1.4 wide open, a nice balance between dreamy halation and contrast,
only in flat light, in anything involving contrast or heaven forfend, specular highlights, the bokeh is ugly beyond belief.
This was from last week, Canon 50mm 1.4 wide open, across from the shuk, Jerusalem.
I've been waiting for it to be sunny to test and see if the bokeh is better at 1.6 (it's nice by f1.8 but without much character, most of the halation is gone, fine for my wedding work however, my most used lens and aperture for weddings). With a foot of snow outdoors I may have to wait a bit
I'd buy an f1.2 but I can't begin to afford one at the moment.
Here is one of my favorites from the Tak Super also at 1.4, it's a gorgeous lens.

I currently have two 50mm lenses, Leica Summicron-R 50/2 and Olympus OM 50/1.2. Both lenses are beautiful an have their strengths and weaknesses.
My Summicron is the older version (1967) which does not have sliding hood like the newer ones. From what I've read about it Leica changed the optical formula slightly to get more sharpness (on the expense of bokeh). In my experience the lens is plenty sharp at f/2, maybe the newer version is sharper in the corners at f/2?? As other have told above the 50 Summicron is a good all rounder where color and bokeh are excellent and sharpness is good. To me the main fault is it being "only f/2" v.s. the Olympus 50/1.2.
The Olympus 50/1.2 is a beautiful lens. It lacks some in sharpness and contrast at f/1.2 but that can be fixed to some extent in post. Bokeh is very smooth and draws beautifully, highlights disks are round and solid, renders creamy and beautiful images. The most annoying part with this lens is that it has whole stop clicks, so it's f/1.2 and then f/2, f/4, f/5.6 etc. It's means you can't stop down to f/1.4, f1.6, f/1.8 for slightly sharper image but have to go all the way to f/2 and lose more than a stop of light. So for critical shooting it's an f/2 lens (a good one).
I'm considering sell either one and will probably keep the OM 50/1.2 mostly because it has f/1.2 and is at least equally good at f/2.
I´ve also had the Canon 50/1.4, Canon 50/1.2L, Takumar 50/1.4. I might buy the 50L again some day, I had a good copy and it's the best 50mm lens I've had. ...but now I think I'd rather buy a 50 Summilux-R instead :-P

Summicron-R 50 has been the best 50 I've ever used (compared to Canon 50 1.8 and 1.4, Nikon 50 1.8G and1.2 Ais, SMC Tak 50 1.4, Zeiss ZE 50 1.4, and Zeiss C/Y 50 1.7).
The samples above from the 'Cron reflect my experience. There's a quality to the files that cannot, IMHO, be matched by any other lens I've tried. I had the later model sliding hood one. Wish I could have kept it. My C/Y Zeiss would be a reasonably close 2nd place.

Hi elshorbagy,
You have two options:
1- If you are using a 5th Edition Phone, then go for Platform Services to read the inbox.
2- If you are using 3rd edition phone, then try out API Bridge and if it working then you have to create its plugin to read SMS in Symbian C++ or have to create your own local http server to extend Flash Lite.
Hope it helps...
Best Regards,
Thank you Saji, I would try API Bridge, but where can I read more about "local http server"?
Hi elshorbagy,
API Bridge is nothing but an http server which bind itself to local ip 127.0.0.1 and a port and then listen to post/get requests of the Flash Lite client and perform action accordingly. Look at these projects to have an understanding of how local http server works with Flash Lite:
Janus Symbian (Symbian)

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has President Barack Obama beat when it comes to fundraising in Connecticut – at least for now.
Polls show that Obama maintains a lead in Connecticut, and a fundraiser could push Obama ahead when it comes to money raised in the state.
Romney raised $4.8 million from Connecticut residents so far compared to Obama's $2.8 million, according to the Associated Press. A on Monday could net Obama $2 million when the president meets with Hollywood celebrities and donors willing to shell out $35,000.
Nationally, Romney outraised Obama by $101 million to $75 million, according to the LA Times.
A June poll from Quinnipiac University shows Obama leading Romney by a 50 - 38 margin. George H.W. Bush in 1988 was the last Republican candidate to win the state.
Correction: The last Republican to win Connecticut was incorrectly identified as Ronald Reagan.

Performance Central welcomes acclaimed poet, translator and scholar Stephen Mitchell for a conversation about his new translation of Homer's The Iliad.
In Stephen Mitchell's Iliad, the epic story resounds again across 2,700 years, as if the lifeblood of its heroes Achilles and Patroclus, Hector and Priam flows in every word. And we are there with them, amid the horror and ecstasy of war, carried along by a poetry that lifts even the most devastating human events into the realm of the beautiful.
Mitchell's Iliad is the first translation based on the work of the preeminent Homeric scholar Martin L. West, whose edition of the original Greek identifies many passages that were added after the Iliad was first written down, to the detriment of the music and the story. Omitting these hundreds of interpolated lines restores a dramatically sharper, leaner text. In addition, Mitchell's illuminating introduction opens the epic still further to our understanding and appreciation. Now, thanks to Stephen Mitchell's scholarship and the power of his language, the Iliad's ancient story comes to moving, vivid new life.

Fallen Las Vegas Metro Police Officer David Vanbuskirk was remembered Monday as a courageous man with a great sense of humor and a dedication to helping others.
Vanbuskirk, a 13-year veteran of the department, died July 22 during a rescue mission in the Mary Jane Falls area of Mt. Charleston.
The police motorcade, escorting the fallen officer, his family and members of his team, left Palm Mortuary on North Main Street about 9 a.m. As it moved along the Las Vegas Strip, casino marquees showed a photograph of Vanbuskirk.
The procession arrived at the church about 9:45 a.m. Officers lined the streets leading to the church, and many of them saluted as Vanbuskirk's coffin was carried into the church by an honor guard from the police department.
The funeral was held at Central Christian Church in Henderson, which holds about 2,900 people.
After a prayer that opened the service, Vanbuskirk's sergeant, Gavin Vesp, spoke about the person who he said it was a privilege to command.
"I want you all to know that every single day, when he came to work, he had a smile on his face," Vesp said. "He had the best attitude."
Las Vegas Metro Sheriff Doug Gillespie called Vanbuskirk a giant among men, saying he was driven by a sense of duty to others.
"Men like David restore the balance to life," Gillespie said. "They bring order to things. They give us faith that there is more good than bad in this world that we live in."
Little Black Submarines by The Black Keys was played to close out the service, followed by those in attendance reciting Vanbuskirk's badge number - 6482. An honor guard, playing bagpipes and drums, then escorted the flag-draped coffin out to a waiting procession.
At the graveside, the honor guard escorted Vanbuskirk's casket one last time to his final resting place at the Palm Mortuary and Cemetery on South Eastern Avenue. A 21 gun salute was followed by the playing of Taps. The guard's bagpipe and drum corps then played Amazing Grace. Five helicopters from Metro's Air Support Section then flew in formation over the cemetery. At the end of the service, a dispatcher sounded the last call for Vanbuskirk.
The investigation in to the accident that caused Vanbuskirk's death continues.

(AP) A man has been accused of stabbing his brother in Omaha on Christmas Eve.
Omaha police say they responded to a radio call Tuesday night about a cutting incident involving two brothers who were allegedly fighting. They entered a residence and found a 24-year-old man with a stab wound. He was transported to a local hospital with an injury that was not life-threatening.
The man's brother, 21-year-old Dylan Whitlatch, was taken into custody for questioning. He was booked into Douglas County Corrections on a felony charge of assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
Court records do not list an attorney for Whitlatch.

Town Square
Red Lotus a disappointment
Original post made by Suzy on Dec 13, 2006
The menu seemed pricey (rack of lamb $26), so we ordered the lunch special at $8.95, which included a small salad, rice, entree and tea. Our entrees were chicken with lemon grass, kung pao shrimp and Mongolian beef. All were rather sweet with a goopy sauce. The salad also had a sweet dressing.
The slow service was not helped when our server brought jasmine tea with a tea bag hanging out of the cup. Where was the customary pot of tea? Red Lotus has white tablecloths (with paper on top), nice cutlery and dishes, but the little storefront restaurant lacks charm.
The owner/chef David Yeo has an impressive background, according to an article I read recently. He worked with Joel Robuchon in Paris and at Tavern on the Green and Le Cirque in New York. Most recently he was executive chef at Asian de Cuba in San Francisco.
His dinners are probably much better than the lunch, but after a disappointing experience you aren't too eager to find out. Has anyone had a better experience there? If so, what menu items can you recommend?

I totally agree with all of the above.
on Jan 2, 2007 at 12:12 pm
I disagree greatly with your assesment. First off 25$ for a rack of lamb (which is enough for two portions) at that quality is a steal. There are many delicious appetizers on the dinner menu (not sure if they are available for lunch) including shitake mushroom potstickers, banana , mango, and shrimp egg rolls and fantastic samosas. I would reccomend you try it again, and if you still don't like it then I imagine you simply don't like south east asian food. This is some of the finest you will find.
on Jan 18, 2007 at 7:54 pm
I'd also agree with John's comments. My husband and I have eaten at Red Lotus several times. We enjoy the Chargrilled Ahi Tuna (which at $18 is about the same price or less than the price of a Ahi Tuna filet at Bianchini's Market). My husband is also a big fan of the Wok Shaken Beef Tenderloin.
We feel lucky to have such high quality food available in our neighborhood.

AP Fails to Note Record-Breaking Nature of Feb. Single-Month Deficit ($232 Billion), But Did in 2008
In his report on today's release of Uncle Sam's February Monthly Treasury Statement, Christopher Rugaber at the Associated Press today did almost all he could to ensure that his wire service remains deserving of the nickname yours truly gave it several month ago: "The Administration's Press."
Rugaber's primary sin of omission ensures that readers, listeners and viewers at AP's subscribing outlets will probably not learn that February's deficit, at a rounded $232 billion, was the highest single-month shortfall in U.S. history. But four years ago in March 2008, during the final year of George W. Bush's presidency, the wire service's Jeannine Aversa somehow found space to note the record-breaking nature of that year's $176 billion February deficit:
Rubager didn't, as seen in the first three paragraphs of his report today:
It's hard to imagine how the double standard and the embarrassing lengths to which the self-described Essential Global New Network will go to protect Barack Obama and his administration from as much of the impact of bad news as it can could be more obvious.
There are several more problems with Rugaber's report, including his failure to note how certain items in the Monthly Treasury Statement seem to indicate that economic growth may be slowing down a bit. That will have to wait until tomorrow.

---- — SALEM — A suspect in a sexual assault at Wal-Mart in Plaistow last month faces another felony charge for a similar incident at a Salem store 18 months ago.
For nearly two years, police have sought an unidentified man who exposed himself to an 8-year-old at Wal-Mart on North Broadway.
But it took a high-profile sexual assault case — involving another young girl at Wal-Mart in Plaistow — to help them find their suspect.
Yesterday, Ronald Beausoleil, 33, of 972 Amesbury Road in Haverhill was arraigned in 10th Circuit Court in Salem on a felony indecent exposure charge for an incident in September 2011.
Police didn't have to go far to make an arrest — just Beausoleil's jail cell at the Rockingham County House of Corrections in Brentwood.
Beausoleil was being held on charges he touched a 9-year-old girl in a sexual manner in the toy aisle of the Plaistow Wal-Mart on March 10. He also was charged with shoplifting spark plugs from the store and driving with a revoked license.
Beausoleil is a convicted Level 3 sex offender in Massachusetts.
His arrest in Plaistow attracted a lot of media attention. When Salem police Sgt. Thomas Kench happened to see a photo of Beausoleil taken from store surveillance footage, he realized it looked just like the suspect in the Salem Wal-Mart case.
In that case, Beausoleil allegedly approached an 8-year-old girl in a grocery aisle while she was playing hide-and-seek with her aunt, according to a police affidavit.
Beausoleil then touched and rubbed her shirt, asking her "Isn't that nice?" three times, the affidavit said.
He then exposed himself, the girl told police. Beausoleil walked away.
Police had multiple potential suspects in the case, but weren't able to solve it, Salem prosecutor Jason Grosky said.
"The case essentially went cold at that point," he told Judge Robert Stephen yesterday.
The girl, now 9, recently picked Beausoleil out of a photo lineup.
Grosky asked that Beausoleil be held on $10,000 cash bail for the new charge. Beausoleil was held on $25,000 cash bail after his arrest in the Plaistow case.
Beausoleil, dressed in a prison jumpsuit, was not required to speak in court or make a plea. He did tell the judge he is now being held on $50,000 cash bail, not $25,000 cash bail.
An arrest warrant on the Salem charge was issued Wednesday. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for April 15.
In the Plaistow case, prosecutor Jill Cook told Judge Michael Sullivan Beausoleil was a "multi-state offender" with 10 cases against him.
They include a 1999 felony conviction out of Grafton Superior Court in Massachusetts for unauthorized theft. He received a two- to four-year state prison sentence.
Cook said Beausoleil also was convicted that same year of felonious sexual assault in Grafton Superior Court, which also got him a two- to four-year prison sentence.
He was convicted in 2007 on two counts of violating probation, receiving a one-and-a-half to three-year sentence. In March 2012, Cook said, he was charged in New York state with marijuana possession and driving while impaired by alcohol.
Beausoleil is a Level 3 sex offender, based on the 1999 charge, which included indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, as well as an April 25, 2007 charge of open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior, according to the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry's online database.
In Feburary, Beausoleil was charged with driving drunk and without a valid license in Methuen after he slammed his vehicle into a police cruiser that was traveling with its flashing lights on, police said.

My current work falls within the areas and intersections of normative ethics, applied ethics, philosophy of psychiatry, philosophy of neuroscience, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, metaphysics, and feminist theory. Specifically, I investigate the moral dimensions of how we treat ourselves (Do we have a duty to foster self-respect? What is the moral harm of self-objectification?) and incorporate the results into ethical analyses of psychopharmaceuticals - especially antidepressants (When, if ever, is antidepressant use morally suspect? Is it morally problematic to cosmetically enhance our emotions and personalities with a pill?). To assist such analyses, I draw from research within metaphysics concerning the nature of the self. As a separate project, I examine the ethical implications that neuroscientific research has for feminism (Is neuroscientific research into brain differences between genders feminist or anti-feminist?) Finally, I maintain an interest in how we can use philosophical insights to conceptually combat the stigmatization of mental disorders.

Question regarding Kerosene super a
I just picked up another super a for parts but after checking it out I think it is to good to part out. How do I tell if it is a kerosene or distallate model. The hood has the extra hole for the small tank and it has a shutter control. Some parts are missing like the extra tank and the shutters themselves. Would the engine number reveal additional info?
Thanks in advance
Depending on the year, it should be marked with X13 for kerosene, or X17 for distillate, of the later ones were A for distillate, and B for kerosene.

The X codes were not used on the Super A series, I think they applied to the H & M only.
If you have the extra hole in the hood and shutter controls, it is a pretty good bet that you have a kerosene/distillate burner. Shutters by themselves were optional on gasoline tractors, in fact my great-uncle and next door neighbor has a gasoline Super A with shutters. Anyway....
Look at the manifold. It should be larger and "box-ier" for lack of a better word, where the intake/exhaust chambers come together and the exhaust pipe goes out the top. The exhaust pipe will be held on by two bolts, rather than threaded black pipe screwed into the top of the manifold as on gasoline tractors. Keep in mind the manifold could have been replaced.
What are your engine and tractor serial numbers? The engine serial # may give us some clues.
Here's mine. It was set up for kerosene or distillate, but was always run on gas.

Thanks for your responses. Here are the engine numbers 354898 r1, 12-19-x
It also has the mount for the stock temp sending unit as far as I have read the gas engines did not come with a factory temp gauge only the others. Also the pistons are skirted not round on the bottom and has a Z stamped on it.
The tractor # is 322818 and also has a rpm rating of 1540 I thought the rpm rating was lower. The manifold is the regular style but it was not mounted it just came in a box with some other parts.
Look for the engine serial number on the upper left hand corner of the engine block, near where the distributor would mount. The engine numbers you quoted are the part number. The tractor serial number indicates a 1951 model by the way....
The gas tractors could have a temp gauge from teh factory, it was an option. If it had radiator shutters it would have the temp gauge.

Got a dead end on the engine serial number I found the spot where it is supposed to be but it is blank either the stamping was weak and over the years it wore away or it was removed on purpose either way thats a dead end. Any other way to determine weather it is kerosene , distillate ,or gas? Maybe by the pistons? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am pretty sure I want to restore this and not part it out but I need to know the correct pistons and sleeves to order. I found the number 4053-D on the side of the piston along with a Z does anyone know what this means?
Thanks Steve
Possibly a replacement block.
I don't come up with anything on 4053-D. Can you find a part number cast into the cylinder head?
That is the part number for the piston. Let me get home and check my parts book
It may be your tractor got a replacement engine at some point. The date code you posted with the block part number is from 1952.

Little more info. The head #'s are 251172-R2 8-30-W. I also measured the bore and it is 3" 1/8 not 3" and the rod bearing is marked .020 so I assume the crank was ground at some point. I checked my parts book and I couldn't find any # close to the # I posted for the piston. These pistons are stepped not flat and I believe alum. I wonder if this was rebuilt to a 123 cid and then just run on gas from the rebuild on, maybe that would explain the absence of the small fuel tank.
The Valu-bilt catalog list the following bores for the Super A: 3", 3 1/8", 3 3/16", and 3 1/4".
Since you have the head off the engine. Crank the engine over and measure the distance from the top surface of the block to the top of the piston at TDC.
On the 201 cubic inch Allis Chalmers engine there are about 7 different pistons available. Including low compression/kerosene. The kerosene pistons set very low - approximately 1 inch below the surface of the block at TDC. The higher the compression ratio the closer the piston is to the surface of the block.
My thought is that the engine has been previously rebuilt with a new piston and sleeve set. If the engine were initially set up for kerosene - the owner would more than likely have installed the higher compression (bit more power) gasoline sleeve and piston set.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Thanks Eugene, The piston at TDC is probably within a quarter of an inch from the top of the sleeve. I tend to agree with you on the rebuild being for gas. I am having trouble with the valu-bilt site maybe I can get some info from them later.
That is the part number for a gasoline head. The stepped pistons are higher compression gasoline pistons in an 1/8" overbore. If it was a kerosene or distillate engine, no internal kerosene parts remain.
Your block should have the bigger lower bore for the sleeves. If you buy sleeve and piston sets, you need to choose from the "serial number 310300 and above" choices.
Try this. Order the free catalog. Parts - click on parts in upper left corner of page.
Looks like Iowa is going to have it's 2nd annual across Iowa tractor ride.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Thanks Jim, I think with everyones help we are narrowing this down. I think you are correct no internal Kerosene parts left
Eugene, When I click on the parts section every part category I click on says no records found. Somethings not working correctly I am sure they are not out of every part for a Super A. I went ahead and ordered the catalog.
