Zacuto Control Grip & Z-Motor Make Any Zoom an ENG Lens, Plus New OLED EVFs
If you're doing any kind of ENG or documentary shooting with DSLRs and large sensor video cameras, you may be longing for the servo zooms and rocker switches of smaller-sensor cameras. Zacuto is introducing a new control grip and motor to give this functionality back to almost any lens and camera setup, so that you can go back to operating in a comfortable way zooming with one hand and focusing with the other. The company is also bringing out a bunch of other new products, including an update to their EVF, which will now feature an OLED display. More »
Zoom Introduces the H5 Audio Recorder, a More Compact Version of the H6
The Zoom H6 audio recorder was unveiled earlier in 2013, and along with it came some much-needed upgrades to the brand that has become extremely popular among lower-budget productions. Now the company has unveiled a smaller version called the H5, which removes some of the fancy features of the H6. Click through to check out more about the recorder. More »
Everything You Need to Know About the Dolly Zoom
The dolly zoom, also referred to as the Vertigo effect or a Zolly shot, is a technique wherein the camera is dollied either forward or backward while the zoom on the lens is pulled in the opposite direction. When timed correctly, the effect of this technique is one in which the characters in the frame remain the same size while the foreground and background become compressed or de-compressed, depending on which direction the camera is traveling. It's a technique that has been part of the cinematic language for almost 60 years, and as such, it has evolved over time. Our friend Vashi Nedomansky over at Vashi Visuals has put together a comprehensive look at the evolution of the dolly zoom, and it's a fantastic watch, to say the least. More »
Audio Recorder Showdown: Zoom H6 vs. Tascam DR-60 vs. JuicedLink RM333
We've all heard the age-old adage that audio is half the battle in filmmaking. When you've got a proper crew with a dedicated team of audio professionals, getting proper audio isn't much of a hassle. However, when you're working with small crews or as a one-man-band, juggling the technical aspects of creating the image and recording the sound can be downright daunting. That's where devices like the Tascam DR-60, Zoom H6, and juicedLink RM333 come into play. But which of these devices is best suited to meeting your audio needs on set, and what problems might you face with these various devices? Robert Rozak of juicedLink has put together this impressive comparison video that should help you find the best audio recording solution for your needs. More »
Zoom's Heavier-Duty H6 Audio Recorder Coming in July Priced at $400
A few months ago Zoom revealed the first details about their new H6 audio recorder, a heavier-duty big brother to the indie and small production workhorse, the H4N. We guessed that it would be coming in at $400 back in April, and that's exactly the price that Zoom has revealed for the base package. There are a lot more accessories and places for expansion this time around, so check out the introduction below. More »
Zoom Announces H6 Audio Recorder, Modular Big Brother to the H4N and Serious Tool for Filmmakers
If you've been shooting video with DSLRs for the past couple of years, chances are you also own, or have at least used the Zoom H4N. It's one of those devices that has seemingly become ubiquitous on low-budget shoots due to the fact that it's incredibly easy to use and (relatively) affordable compared to other audio capture equipment. However, the H4N has always been a one-trick pony in that you are limited to either the XY mic atop the device, the two inputs on the bottom, or some combination thereof. For many sound recordists and location mixers, this combination of inputs simply wasn't enough. Luckily for them, Zoom recently announced the big brother (and significant upgrade) from the H4N, the extremely modular and versatile H6. Check below for the details. More »
What is a Lens? Learn All About Lenses, and Watch the Creation of a Nikon Nikkor
Not all glass is created equal. Some is shaped into things you drink out of. Some becomes windows, windshields, and portholes. And some become the tools you use every day to create beautiful images. Something as insanely resolute as 4K (or even 8K) broadcast and stereoscopic 48fps can only look so good with a junk piece of glass placed between the medium and the image — which can also work great if that's the type of look you're going for. Given all this, the birds and the bees of how lenses are made — and function, down to the basics — is definitely something many of us take for granted. More »
Canon, Nikon, Sigma, and Tamron 24-70mm Lens Shootout: What's the Best Value for Your Money?
Kevin Good over at CrisisLab has recently published a comparison of both higher end (Canon and Nikon) and less expensive (Sigma and Tamron) lenses common for various types of DSLR shooting — 24-70mm f/2.8 zooms. The test compares overall clarity, both at the center of each lens as well as at the edges, the quality of bokeh, the amount of vignetting, and the ability for internal optical image stabilization. The results of each test were weighted against the going price for each lens, in order to determine which possesses the best overall value. Read on to check out the video — and which lens may have the most bang for your buck. More »
Audio Recorder/Preamp Shootout: Sound Devices, Zoom, Tascam, Edirol, Beachtek, and juicedLink
Last month a test was conducted by Robert Rozak, President of juicedLink, comparing the preamps from his company's products with a similar offering from Beachtek, with both going right into the Canon 7D. He received so much feedback that he's added a number of devices to the test and is now comparing the signal-to-noise ratio performance of the preamps of a number of devices, the Sound Devices 702, Zoom H4n, Tascam DR-100 MKII, Tascam DR-680, Edirol R44, Beachtek DXA-SLR PRO, and juicedLink Riggy Micro/Assist. Click through to see his results. More »
Get Better DSLR Audio Quality by Using a Good Preamp: Beachtek vs. juicedLink vs. Zoom H4n
The conventional wisdom is that it's difficult to get good audio when you record straight into a DSLR, and that you're better off using an external audio recorder. At the very least, an external preamp can help boost your signal so that your camera's audio system doesn't have to work as hard to get a clean signal above the noise floor. juicedLink, maker of preamps, has put out a video showing (well, you'll have to listen) that its preamps are actually capable of recording cleaner audio through a DSLR than using the competitive Beachtek preamp or even a Zoom H4N external audio recorder.

According to 43 Rumors, the new Lumix G X VARIO 12-35mm f2.8 should be shipping this week in Asia and Europe (no word yet on the U.S. and Canada), and the Olympus 75mm f1.8 should be coming in July. If you've had a hankering to see videos of these lenses in action then you're in luck: More »
The Battle of the Preamps: 5D Mark III vs. D800 Audio Recording
Audio recording internally to DSLRs has been mediocre at best. It's great for scratch audio when you're doing dual-system sound, but for the most part, it's a real pain. I've been testing the 5D Mark III and the D800, but one of the tests I wasn't able to do as thoroughly as I wanted was to test the internal audio recording of both cameras with a proper microphone. I know that many out there would ask why you'd ever plug directly into the DSLR without some other external preamp box, but sometimes (like at NAB), having the least amount of equipment that can fail is best. I met Dave Dugdale at NAB, and in this video he takes the time to test out both the Nikon D800 and the Canon 5D Mark III for the quality of their internal audio recordings. More »
Audio Recorder Roundup: Zoom H4n vs. Tascam DR-100mkII vs Tascam DR-40
If you're a DSLR shooter, you know that having an independent audio recorder can be a must for getting quality sound. There are a lot of affordable flash recorders that can deliver great audio, but only a few of them have features like XLR inputs and multi-channel recording. Three models stand out: the Zoom H4n, the Tascam DR-100mkII, and more recently, the Tascam DR-40. How do they stack up in terms of features filmmakers want, and which one delivers the sound you need? I aim to delve into these questions and more, so read on! More »
Need a Zoom Rocker for Those DSLR Lenses? VizTools and HandiZoom to the Rescue
So you've been looking for a zoom rocker on your DSLR? This is one solution (but it's PL only and expensive). While the zoom lenses for Canon cameras (or any DSLR for that matter) do not have proper teeth for a zoom control to grip to, VizTools has come up with a solution called the HandiZoom. After adding a gear to each lens, it gives you complete control of any zoom, and allows variable zooming with the attached zoom rocker controller. More »
Fuji Delivers for ENG Users: a PL Zoom Lens for Large Sensor Cameras - but There's a Catch
It's about time a great PL zoom has been announced from a company that is more or less the standard in ENG lenses. You can't walk 10 feet into a TV station or broadcast studio and not see a camera with a Fujinon lens attached. From Fuji's optical division comes this fantastic 19-90mm T2.9 zoom lens, which can be used easily with a standard follow focus by pulling off the zoom rocker. There is one pretty big catch for all you FS100 owners or other PL users. More »
Tascam DR-40 Audio Recorder Gets Update, Competes with Zoom H4n at Fraction of the Cost
Tascam is nipping at the heels of the Zoom H4n with its new firmware update for the Tascam DR-40. If you're not too familiar with the Tascam DR-40, here's the recap – it's one of the smallest flash audio recorders with XLR inputs, has most of the basic functions run-and-gun filmmakers want, and runs you roughly $130 cheaper than the H4n. With the new firmware update it also eliminates one of its biggest disadvantages – setting independent gains on the two XLR inputs. Why is that important? Find out after the jump: More »

Freedom: It's bad enough that the president's health insurance takeover costs more, breaks his pledge of letting you keep your plan and diminishes choice. It actually restricts your travels too.
'We have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in." Those words from President John F. Kennedy in June 1963, standing at the Berlin Wall, neatly illustrated the moral superiority of the free West over the Soviet bloc.
But Americans are now about to find themselves grappling with their own bureaucratic Berlin Wall. The American Thinker's Stella Paul has exposed the virtually unnoticed fact that within the ObamaCare exchanges so many Americans are being forced into, "most plans only provide local medical coverage."
Paul warns this will have "a profound impact on the real-estate market, particularly the second home sector, and on the travel business." She interviewed one Connecticut retiree whose health required having a winter home in South Carolina. Her $450-per-month, $2,500 deductible, no co-pay Blue Cross policy that had worked well in both states was suddenly canceled.
The new policy she was offered under ObamaCare was twice as expensive, with a deductible costing $1,000 more, and no out-of-network coverage.
Having had a surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, out-of-network coverage was a must. And she found it. "It's $900 a month," she told Paul, "with a $7,000 deductible and a co-pay on everything. Basically, it's catastrophic insurance, and I'll be paying my South Carolina doctors out of pocket."
A prominent New York insurance broker pointed out that most of the policies offered on the ObamaCare exchanges are not national networks, so "if you need routine medical services, they will not be covered when you leave your local area," as they were before.
Travel health insurance, unfortunately, only covers emergencies. So, the broker told Paul, "a large portion of the population will have their insurance as a consideration for their mobility, which they never had before."
Imagine having to take all this into account in making decisions about where in America you want to live.
And as Paul asks, "With Americans no longer able to receive routine medical services when they travel, will they start showing up in emergency rooms for sore throats and backaches? And how will these new throngs of patients affect the waiting time of people with genuine medical emergencies?"
Meet the latest unpleasant ObamaCare surprise, right on the heels of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius this week finally admitting that, contrary to Obama's endlessly repeated promise, "there are some individuals who may be looking at increases" in premiums.
Unrestricted movement is a birthright of our liberty. Even socialized medicine's harshest opponents didn't suspect Washington would trample that freedom.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
Make several of these quick-knits for gift giving. Only 1 skein of yarn (3.5oz.) of number 4 medium yarn is needed. This design uses the same instructions for Toddler to Teen sizes, only the needles are different. It is knitted in one piece from sleeve edge to sleeve edge, seamed on the sides. This makes for a very "stretchy" garment. Lots of wear possibilities. Two sizes: the toddler size fits 21"-24" chest measurements and the teen size fits chest measurements 26"-28".
Size 11 needles Pattern Yarn Gauge: 3 sts = 1 inch , 3.5 rows = 1 inch
Size 13 needles Pattern Yarn Gauge:2.5 sts= 1 inch, 3 rows= 1 inch
I have been knitting and crocheting for over 55 years, having learned at the age of 5. After retiring in 2011, I am able to pursue my dream of designing my own patterns and sharing them. Thank you for looking and join us at Knitting Paradise http://www.knittingparadise.com/ for lots of fun and information.

Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Patient Information [NCI] - Polycythemia Vera
Polycythemia vera is a disease in which too many red blood cells are made in the bone marrow.
In polycythemia vera, the blood becomes thickened with too many red blood cells. The number of white blood cells and platelets may also increase. These extra blood cells may collect in the spleen and cause it to swell. The increased number of red blood cells or platelets in the blood can cause bleeding problems and make clots form in blood vessels. This can increase the risk of stroke or heart attack. In patients who are older than 65 years or who have a history of blood clots, the risk of stroke or heart attack is higher. Patients also have an increased risk of acute myeloid leukemia or primary myelofibrosis.

Disease Overview Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder of unknown etiology in which a clonal proliferation of eosinophilic precursors results in persistently increased numbers of eosinophils in the blood, bone marrow, and peripheral tissues. In CEL, the eosinophil count is greater than or equal to 1.5 × 109 /L in the blood.[1] To make a diagnosis of CEL, there should be evidence for clonality of the eosinophils or an increase in blasts in the blood or...

Possible signs of polycythemia vera include headaches and a feeling of fullness below the ribs on the left side.
Polycythemia vera often does not cause early symptoms. It is sometimes found during a routine blood test. Symptoms may occur as the number of blood cells increases. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. Check with your doctor if you have any of the following problems:
- A feeling of pressure or fullness below the ribs on the left side.
- Headaches.
- Double vision or seeing dark or blind spots that come and go.
- Itching all over the body, especially after being in warm or hot water.
- Reddened face that looks like a blush or sunburn.
- Weakness.
- Dizziness.
- Weight loss for no known reason.
Special blood tests are used to diagnose polycythemia vera.
In addition to a complete blood count, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, and cytogenetic analysis, a serum erythropoietin test is used to diagnose polycythemia vera. In this test, a sample of blood is checked for the level of erythropoietin (a hormone that stimulates new red blood cells to be made).

Can you can remember life without mobile phones? Making an emergency call while on the road required hunting for a pay phone and texting was a term that didn't even exist. These days, it's hard to leave the house without this helpful piece of technology. And it's rare to find a household that actually uses its home phone.
Check out Nielsen's facts about mobile phones. You're sure to be familiar with several of them.

Thumb down: Florida ranks high in the number of people bitten by dogs
DOGGONE IT: This is National Dog Bite Prevention Week. And, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, residents of Florida need to be especially aware of the dangers of such encounters.
Based on statistics compiled by the State Farm insurance company and reported by the association, the Sunshine State ranked eighth in the nation last year in dog bite claims with 123 claims made worth $7.1 million. California ranked first with 451 claims worth $17.1 million.
Recommendations from the association to help prevent dog bites include:
Don't run past a dog. Dogs naturally love to chase things.
Never disturb a dog that is caring for puppies, sleeping or eating.
If a dog approaches to sniff, state still. In most cases the dog will go away when it determines you are not a threat.
If you are threatened by a dog, remain calm. Don't scream or yell or run. Avoid eye contact.
If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with your hands over your head and neck and protect your face.
That last one sounds pretty scary.
We might add one more. Don't pull on a dog's tail. They don't seem to like that.

Cream of the crop: Vogue's picks from Vanity Fair's 2014 Best Dressed List
- 30 th Aug 2012
Plus size models are actually normal-sized women, and we need to see more of them in the fashion industry
I always wanted to be an agent. I became a junior booker at a top model agency in Melbourne when I was 19, and by 21 I was running its commercial division. Around that time I noticed that plus-size clients only used older, mumsy models. As a young fashionable size 14, I couldn't identify with those models.
I was approached to manage a top photographic agency. I loved it but the one thing I hated about my job was how I witnessed so many disturbing habits that models formed to keep themselves from gaining weight, from drugs and purging food to excessive exercise and bingeing. However, it was only when my own sister began a five-year battle with anorexia and bulimia that I realised what I was part of and how it affected women
In the worst grip of her illness, my sister, at 170 centimetres and 45 kilograms, looked me dead in the eye and said she would kill herself if she were as big as me at size 14.
It wasn't long after that that I had my epiphany. I could focus all my knowledge on helping women, by changing the perception of beauty, to help to redefine what was considered attractive and fashionable.
So I started Bella, a fashion model agency for healthy, realistic-sized models starting from a size 10 and ending at what we considered a maximum healthy weight was for each individual model, normally a size 16. The term plus-size is a way to differentiate the kind of model we represent. Just like a petites or commercial division, it's a descriptive term the industry uses, but many people don't understand that a "plus" model is size-10-plus. We are not talking about morbidly obese women. Most Vogue readers would be considered plus-size by the modelling industry, but not at all in everyday life. And so my goal was to provide models who represent the majority of Australian women, not the minority.
My hope was that by introducing the fashion world to the idea of using models who are still extraordinarily beautiful, in proportion and, most importantly, healthy, that no woman will ever feel that she would rather be dead than not look like the majority of the models in our magazines, who represent at best one per cent of the population in dress size and who, for the most part, struggle desperately to stay that size themselves.
Without healthy role models in fashion, we will end up with another generation of women with shocking self-esteem who can't identify with the models surrounding them every day, or live up to the expectations that come with those images. The cycle of self-abuse, of abuse of food and drugs, bingeing and vomiting will begin all over again with our daughters. We must try to represent a broader view of beauty; we must, for the sake of the bottom line, as well as women's health and self-esteem.
Tell us in the comments below: Is there a place for plus size models in high fashion?

Increase in disability share accounts for 20-25% of the drop in the labor force participation rate since 2007 (vs ~45% for retirements). We expect this shift to be essentially permanent,
Compared to the market consensus, our views have been more negative on three key duration fundamentals. Following recent remarks by Fed Chair Janet Yellen, we are now less confident about how to read Yellen's policy strategy. We are still expecting higher rates; however, we now have less conviction that 3-5yr Treasuries will continue to underperform on
The Fed's communication for 2014 looks like the strongest type of forward guidance, one that clarifies the existing policy approach and backs up its statements. Current statements for 2015 and beyond are closer to the weakest type of forward guidance, which means they should be considered less credible. Look for the market's heavy reliance on
Existing U.S. home sales have been weak across all regions and this weakness pre-dates this year's tough winter. Skyrocketing home prices, the surge in interest rates, and meager income growth have hit affordability and dented demand. Housing is no longer the accelerator for economic growth that it was earlier in the cycle. While the jury
The Fed's communication for 2014 looks like the strongest type of forward guidance, one that clarifies the existing policy approach and backs up statements with some type of commitment. Current statements for 2015 and beyond are closer to the weakest type of forward guidance, a forecast that the central bank will behave in the future
At this week's meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee looks likely to rework its forward guidance for short-term interest rates once again. We expect revised forward guidance to lean heavily on the idea of "headwinds"; this is a stand-in term for a low equilibrium real rate. We expect that the new guidance will make three main
Markets had a difficult start to the year. After experiencing negative returns in January, both U.S. and European equities recovered in February and are now slightly positive for the year. The best returns have come from U.S. small-cap equities along with shares of equities domiciled in the periphery of Europe. These two broad groups are

If I was given a selection of bowlers, I would open with Ajmal against Kieswetter and Lumb,. Would have picked up both easily IMO. Captaincy from Afridi was dire
If I was given a selection of bowlers, I would open with Ajmal against Kieswetter and Lumb,. Would have picked up both easily IMO. Captaincy from Afridi was dire
Diuretics are used to look good at TV shows
I played for 20 years in the Lankan team, I did not have any problems as a Tamil - Muralidaran
I think it is too early to call afridi a bad captain.. the fact that he is captaining a pakistani side.. he should get credit for that.. no one plays for the team in the pakistani squad.. everyone is trying for their individual performances.. there are players who are back stabing each other. . throwing matches, droping catches in purpose and missing run outs... the fact that he manages a team like this.. he deserve a credit for that..
SALMAM KHAN The real king and Baadshah of Bollywood!!!!!!!!
Looking forward to the NZ Pakistan game. Styris needs to step up the plate with a performance tonight.
I think management will be looking at his spot in the batting order - luckily he has been bowling well so he should be safe.
partly hoping we get thumped today if it leads to Afirdi sacking as skipper also finding it difficult to support team which consistently selects duds like Sami,Misbah,Hafeez despite them being worse then donkey ****e.
He is good when it comes to backing players and supporting them, but he was always always going to be a horrible tactician. He doesn't even see the basics on the field let alone having the capacity to implement any sort of plans.
Its one thing to have selfish individuals in the team and those who do not perform up to par, its another thing to implement bowling and fielding changes that are utter suicide. Forget the dropped catches, if it weren't for his ridiculously stupid decisions on the field, Pakistan would well have had a very good chance.
It would have been better if Afridi retired the Afridi of old, captaincy will go a long way in tarnishing his reputation and his insane adoration on the part of Paksitani fans.
Yeah, this tournament is the first real look I've had at Hopkins and looks short in both disciplines, IMHO. McCullum major wants to htfu and take the gloves.
Plus Hopkins's big shiny bald head creeps me out more than slightly. White guys with shaven heads and no compensatory facial hair = just no.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change
Bit of swing for Sami first up, but if he bowls them as short and wide as that last one to McCullum it's all for nought.
& follows it up with a very wide one that gives Akmal no chance for 5 wides.
Why was Asif dropped? Injury or one fears for the mental capacity of the selectors.
Guptill all at sea against spin. 1 from 8 currently.
EDIT: 2 from 9 but reckon he'd have been gone if Afridi hit. Keeps strike too.
2nd EDIT: & holes out to long on. Shot born out of the pressure of not scoring. Not the worst thing for NZ tho, frankly.
Last edited by BoyBrumby; 08-05-2010 at 07:57 AM.
Of course. We get Pakistan when they decide to start catching.

EDIT: Ha, commentator's curse. McCullum slog sweeps a short one for four. Ooops, but goes trying to repeat the trick. Huge. NZ in strife, tbh.
2nd EDIT: Skipper in at five. Interesting.

IT Project Manager
IT Project Manager Jobs
IT Project Manager Overview
IT project managers are responsible for planning, creating and managing the way an organization utilizes computers for business and communication activities. They are generally expected to choose and manage all the components necessary for a network to run efficiently and reliably. They oftentimes have to continually analyze the computer needs of an organization and make recommendations based on not only the current trends in information technology but also what products and services best fit within an organization's budget. IT project managers work with executives to recommend the best products and services possible to meet an organization's goals. At the same time, these managers direct and work with other IT professionals, such as with software engineers, data center consultants and system security analysts, to fulfill the approved recommendations.
IT Project Manager Education Requirements
Generally, IT project managers must have at least a bachelor's degree in a computer science field. Ideal IT project manager job candidates hold a bachelor's degree in information systems or information technology. Those with a graduate level degree, such as a master's in computer science, have an advantage in qualifying for project manager-level jobs. Prior experience in lower-level positions within the field or industry an IT professional plans to manage is also recommended.
IT Project Manager Job Market
The job outlook for IT project manager jobs is expected to rise approximately 15 percent from 2012 to 2022, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Job growth is expected to be fueled by businesses expanding their use of wireless devices and networks, creating a need for professionals that can manage these expansions.
IT Project Manager Salary
The median annual salary for IT project manager jobs is $120,950 per year. Due to the nature of work IT project managers perform, it is not uncommon for both salaried and hourly positions to work overtime to immediately fix problems and keep systems running smoothly.

As an team member of Revit Server Admin, I have noticed some files that are under the file structure and they have 0 byte size. These are obviously corrupted or files that are invalid and cannot be opened. How do I delete those? When I select the file and refresh, the tools get greyed out, My only thought is copying the valid file/files and save them elsewhere on my hard drive and then selecting the folder within the Revit Server Admin 2013 to where those files reside and delete the folder, remake the folder and then recreate my central file on the Revit Server? See attachments for the invalid files and the valid file. Is there a simpler way of managing these files?
I would check if there are some orphaned locks on the project(s) first. The following help topic has information on this:
If there are no orphaned locks, you may need to modify the project outside of Revit Server Administrator, as you suggested.
Normally making changes to the project outside of Revit Server Administrator is not recommended!
In this case, you should be able to lock the server (through Revit Server Administrator), move the problematic project folders to another location, and then unlock the server. This should clear them from Revit Server Administrator, and you can then resave to Revit Server from one of the local copies (using the Detach from Central checkbox on the file open dialog).
