Zacuto 'Revenge of the Great Camera Shootout' Part 2 Now Available for Download in 1080p
The Zaucto Revenge of the Great Camera Shootout 2012 has, like most Zacuto shootouts, caused quite a stir among professionals and amateurs alike. Many chose specific cameras in Part 1 that were finally revealed in Part 2, and we actually conducted our own poll before Part 2 was released that showed what the audience felt was the best scene. While surprising to some (and not to many others), the Panasonic GH2 was selected as the top scene followed by the Arri Alexa and Sony F65. The fact that a camera under $1,000 is even in the same league as two cameras well over $50,000 speaks to how far digital technology has come in the last 5 years. If you haven't seen Part 2, it's finally embeddable (below) and downloadable, and if you go to Vimeo, you can get the full 3.2GB 1080p file.
I saw the shootout in person and was already able to give my thoughts on the matter. Since I didn't have the luxury of watching the video over and over again when I made my choices, it was very telling for me personally that the cameras I picked all turned out to be the digital cinema cameras (as much as the FS100 can be called a digital cinema camera). While my number one choice was a toss-up between the FS100, F3, and Epic, I still very much liked the Alexa and F65 before knowing which camera was which. Looking back on it now, I may have moved the FS100 down slightly, but it still would definitely be in my own top 5. Of course, the great thing about the entire shootout is that personal preference plays a huge role in the scenes that were picked. In fact, our poll just proves that dedicated DPs and colorists can get a lot out of an under $1,000 camera.
Camera technology is moving forward at an incredible pace. Choosing the right camera for your film is a big decision, and it's only gotten harder now that there are so many more options to choose from. Blackmagic has thrown their weight in the game, and it would certainly be interesting to see the Cinema Camera in a shootout similar to the Revenge Shootout.

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
It is definitely cool to see events like this and the impact small budget cameras can have on cinema. When it comes down to it, great lighting and composition will always be the foundation of all our shots.
Casey on 07.24.12 @ 4:22PM
I believe someone in the Zucato video mentioned this might be their last shoot-out since cameras were improving quickly enough that they would be nearly indistinguishable in the future. I'd love to see them continue. Or perhaps set up a standard environment or a set of tests to see how the latest cameras perform.
This has been a great series even if this last round seemed to test the DP/Cinematographer's choices as much as it did their cameras.
James on 07.24.12 @ 4:38PM
I think every camera was pretty well handled and really showed the strengths of the cinematographers first and foremost.
With that said, the FS100 really could have been handled better. It's a great camera, but man did it look bad in this test. I think it could have done much better with just a slightly better lighting / grading job. The Red wasn't all that impressive either, but I think for the most part the rest of the cameras looked fantastic.
I'd love to see Zacuto continue with cinematography shoot outs rather than camera shoot outs. Give a group of professional cinematographers the same scene and storyboard, set and actors, then free them to choose any gear they want. At the end have them explain why they made their choices. We'd learn so much seeing different professionals approach the same scene in different ways.
cows on 07.24.12 @ 7:44PM
I watched Part 1 briefly when it was in 1080p before it got lowered to 720 (for some reason) but didn't get a chance to really make an informed opinion, so I was glad to see that I could download the 3GB version of this one.
The Epic really moved up for me after seeing how much sharper it was than everything else on the windows. I'm assuming it was down-sampled from something to 1080p, in which case whatever did the down-sampling did a great job as did the camera. The FS100, on the other hand (which always looked weird to me) really shows the dangers of a super-sharp image with a lot of aliasing. All of the edges look ridiculous. The GH2 suffers from this too, but not as much.
At this point for me I'd say the Alexa, Epic, and F65 are all fared pretty much equally and are definitely the best. Alexa had great color and latitude, Epic had great color and resolution, and F65 had great resolution and latitude.
The C300 and F3 are almost as good but weren't as good in as many ways. Without seeing the 3 GB version of the test and looking more closely I might have put the Epic in this category too but seeing the detail on the full version bumped it up.
I'd say put everything else except the iphone in the "good, but not as good" category as they all have some serious shortcomings in terms of resolution, artifacts, or latitude (or multiple).
The iphone is the only one that I see as unacceptable for a "real movie" (whatever that means these days), and that's only because of the stuttery motion (and it looked like the exposure changed automatically too).
Great article! One question immediately comes to mind…
Did the cameras capable of outputting 4:4:4 RGB image sequences, do so (out of this group, I believe that would be the Alexa, F3, and F65)?
There is no comparison between an encoded 4:2:2 image and an uncompressed RGB 4:4:4 image… In that vein, one could point out that this test didn't take into account how effective each camera was at delivering "post-friendly" footage; and until the lighting setups and post process goals are the same, this is really more about the cinematographers than it is the actual cameras.
In post-production, the fidelity of information captured by the camera ultimately defines how much the footage lends itself to the post-process… 4:2:2 footage has less information than 4:4:4 so it often requires more work and time… to ultimately look inferior. If you've ever shot a chroma-key setup with a 4:2:2 camera and a 4:4:4 camera and taken a look at the accuracy of the edging of your subjects, you know exactly what I'm talking about — data is king.
While comparisons like this will often boil down to viewer's personal preference when left to the human eye, the computer will quickly show the differences in image fidelity when processing 4:2:2 footage vs. RGB 4:4:4 footage… no doubt about it. The information in an RGB 4:4:4 image far surpasses to the information stored in a 4:2:2 image… this makes a huge difference in post. It would be interesting to run a test where the cameras shot the same scene with the same lighting setup and then went for the same look in POST… I think the differences would become quickly apparent.
So while things may "appear" the same to the human eye in a controlled case, it is the "invisible" details that can really make a huge impact on the quality, schedule, and budget… all things the human eye can see!
Joe Marine on 07.25.12 @ 1:10PM
That's absolutely true, the details that aren't readily apparent thanks to compression can make a huge difference when you need to pull a key or do serious color correction. In the test it's pretty clear that the color sampling helped certain cameras over others.
Each camera was recorded at the highest possible quality. If you'd like to read all of the settings they used for the test, head on over to the Zacuto site or one of the original posts for this test where we include a link to the PDF explaining all of those details.
I found it funny that after so many picked B as their choice, once it was revealed as a cheap camera their choices switched to Alexa and F65 etc.
Excellent idea getting their opinions first :)

Boston-based John Hancock has named Michael Doughty EVP and GM of U.S. Life Insurance. He replaces Steve Finch, who has assumed the role of CFO for John Hancock corporate.
Doughty has been with Manulife, John Hancock's Toronto-based parent company, since 1992, most recently serving as EVP of individual insurance for its Canadian division.
"I am very pleased to have Michael join our U.S. leadership team. He is a talented executive with both deep and broad experience in the financial services industry," Jim Boyle, president of John Hancock, says in a statement. "He brings a unique perspective to the U.S. life insurance business, which will prove useful as we continue to build new products and services for our customers and distributors across the United States."

I came across this article of some ACC projections for next year. Definitely some positive things about the outlook of the future of this team, as they put our ceiling as "Len blows up to 20-10, Leslie leaves NCSU, McAdoo leaves UNC and they don't get Oriakhi - 23 wins, Top 3 Seed in March." I'll be satisfied if these predictions only occur in moderation, because finishing atop the league is quite a hefty expectation.
Some analysis of the point made in the article:
"Lost 2nd leading scorer, but 4 starters back." The loss of Mosley does not greatly concern me. Although the team benefitted from his leadership and quality decision-making, he was never a gamechanger and his minutes are definitely replaceable. Although Len technically was not a starter, I'll put him in that group of four with Terrell, Nick, and Padge. That right there is a terrific core four, with possibly Cleare booting out Padgett. Who do you think should be that fifth starter? Howard? Layman? Parker? Padgett as a third big man?
"Two top 75 recruits in Shaquille Cleare and Charles Mitchell." Must not be based off of ESPN, because then the 2nd would be Layman, but absolutely something to be excited about. I for one think that Mitchell will end up being the more productive freshman. Mitchell can come right in and be Dino Gregory/Ekene Ibekwe.
"Got three likely NBA players in Len, Stoglin, and Faust." Dreaming a little big there with Faust as an NBA prospect, but he really is immature and most likely will develop into a more complete player. The key here is Len. Hopefully he bulks up and instills a more dominant mindset. Obviously the competition was much less, but he was a beast against Albany and Cornell, where he actually dunked the ball. I think he can become that big time threat now playing the 4, what do you think?
In comparison to the point brought up in this article, how do we stack up to the big four next year of depleted FSU, UNC, and Duke, but a vastly improved State team?
*My first post, hopefully it looks ok

Money Isn't Everything!
As most of you might have known, Mania runs two pools - a Money and Free Pool
The Mania Free Pool is the training ground for future money poolers and it is also an excellent opportunity for you to practice your picking skills while competing with other Maniacs or internet people without having to shell out money.
What's good about the Free Pool is that its commissioner Tap Snap or Bons runs a (1) 64-bracket tourney involving both pools and a (2) winner of the season gets paid $20 and gains automatic entry to the Mania Money Pool.
So think about it. You will not pay anything to get in the Free Pool camp and yet you have two chances to win $20 and get an automatic entry to the Mania Money Pool.
All you have to do is create a username on mmaplayground, post below your username and the Commissioner Bons_210309 will fire you an invite.
Please post below if you're interested as Season 7 is coming fast starting with the annihilation of Chael Sonnen.

Can I just start off today by saying that my husband has been gone for 2 weeks and I am sooo glad that he is back home again. I enjoyed the break of no cooking, going out to lunch, playing and shopping with friends, for about a week or 10 days, but then it gets lonely being here by myself and I was more than ready for him to come home and take care of all the everyday stuff . I really missed his friendship and his companionship! So welcome home honey!
Today I have a fun little review of a cookbook that I love! This is not a sponsored post, it is just something that I wanted to share with you because it is one of my favorite recipe books! I said that it is a sweet Valentines recipe book, because:
It is called: Cooking for Two by Debbie G. Harman
This cookbook is wonderful for newlyweds or empty nesters like us, but I have used many of the recipes and doubled or tripled them to feed my family on Sunday. They are just good basic recipes that call for a lot of pantry items that you usually have on hand! Perfect for those days when you have not planned very well.
This would make a great wedding gift or birthday gift or gift to yourself, or pick-me-up gift. etc.
Just tie it up with a fun dishtowel and a pair of hot pads!
Some of my favorite recipes in this book are:
German Pancakes
Maple Caramel Sauce
love all the muffin and sweet bread recipes
Baked Potato Salad
Chicken Lo Mein
Oriental Chicken Salad
Hamburger Soup
Taco Soup
Ritzy Chicken
Hawaiian Haystacks
All kinds of the cookie and dessert recipes…
You get the idea.
There are just so many good basic recipes and you can add to them to make a totally different recipe, in fact, there are several recipes that she tells you different things you can add in or a different way to prepare it.
In the front of this book there are helps for planning your meals, going shopping and a list of items to stock in your pantry! I love that she has organized it all for me!
You can find this book here:
To me, this is one of those purchases that are well worth the money.
This is seriously the "go to" cookbook in all of my collection of cookbooks.
So now that my husband is back home I guess that I will need to start cooking again! I think that I will prepare one of the pasta dishes for tonight!

Shared SS Codebase .. please advise...
2 April 2009 at 7:01am Last edited: 2 April 2009 7:43am
I'm looking to turn SilverStripe into a 'Shared code base'. That is, for all of my projects/clients that will use SilverStripe all pull from one code location on my server. The ultimate advantage being when newer versions and bugfixes are released - I don't have to go to 100 locations to patch - I can simply do it in one place.
Anyone have some suggestions on how to approach this? I have done this before on another cms, but I want to adhere to SilverStripes architecture as close as possible. Right now am considering creating a new folder in the root called 'sites' that would have a folder for each client/project and the folder name would be their domain name (this is how I've approached this before). Then I'm wondering would it make sense to have a 'mysite' and 'themes' folder in each of these client folders.
Anyone have any suggestions on this?
It looks like this is close: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=modules:subsites but its only for subdomains, that and I don't want my client sites to manage their site in the same place as other clients. It would be ok if just I could manage an interface like the Subsites module though, and they didnt have this tab.

You may keep cms, sapphire and jsparty in main folder, and upgrade them when you need. You may use links to this folders from your ss site folder. So when you upgrade version in main folder - all your linked folders will be the same. Hope it will helpful.

Three men who were working inside a North Richland Hills home were rushed to the hospital Monday morning with burns.
Officials said the men were lacquering the floor at a house in the 8000 block of Arlie Lane around 11 a.m. One of the workers turned on a shop vac, which triggered a flash fire and caught the house on fire.
Responding firefighters found two of the men in the backyard swimming pool. They were taken by helicopter to Parkland hospital. The third man was taken to a local hospital by ground ambulance.
No information about their conditions was immediately available.
The homeowners were not home at the time.

I disagree, Tim.
I feel that the value of a company is in the entire team, and cannot be solely credited to just one or two workers.
|Brent Orford
I agree with... both of you. :) 8 people left so far, 100 remain... the team that's left is still immensely talented.
With that kind of negative morale affecting your work place, it certainly can't be a joyous place to be right now. Taking them on a team building exercise isn't going to right the ship; they've definitely lost their voice in the room. If I'm Activision, I'm not sure how you make things right by the remaining talent in the studio, it just looks real bad from an outside observer! I'd venture to guess that more people are probably trying to get their ducks in a row before they jump ship.
They should give all proceeds from the stimulus package directly to IW's remaining employee's as a gesture of good faith, and make it a Stimulus package for the studio. :)
|Josh Green
@Tim: It's a part of show business. That's why such people at the top start new companies after getting canned from the old one. Despite the misfortune and pain they cause, events like these are healthy for the industry as they allow for creative people to move on and start something new.
|Michael Wenk
Well, since the whole interview is really aimed at Wall Street, I'll analyze it in that context. So in that context it doesn't matter if its true that the lost people make a difference or not. In Wall Street's eyes, the franchise is imperiled by the loss of talent. I don't really think it helped, and ATVI's stock price is down so that shows it. Rather than granting a fluff interview, the best thing would be to do something positive, like releasing a game that does well critically as well as by sales, or attracting some big name talent. Something to show that ATVI's strong even without the IW guys.
I do think the whole CoD franchise will remain under a shadow until the new guard releases a new game that beats the old CoD game's sales, and one that was developed primarily by them.
|Reid Kimball
History has told me that when core talent leaves, the consequences take a long time to play out and I think more talent will leave over the coming months. Activision says they have 100 on staff still, but it will continue to fall.
|Josh Green
@Reid: To your point, it's likely that a number of IW employees' employee contracts include non-compete language which tie them to ATVI until they lapse.

The change in company culture is just as important as the talent exodus.
The message that has been sent, rightly or wrongly, is that you can be canned on a whim even in the face of overwhelming success. I don't know how that message can lead to a healthy, motivated company culture and work environment.
If people are worried about the stability of their company, that's a huge detractor from them doing their jobs well.

Tim: You're deluding yourself if you think this sort of thing doesn't happen in other media. Conan O'Brien is a perfect recent example.
I think you're missing the point I was trying to make. The firing of West and Zampella is an opportunity for the industry. Those two now have major start-up funding from EA to create a new studio that owns its own IP. A lot of people have recognized that Infinity Ward will likely struggle with the loss of its core leadership. So basically, this firing is helping to make an individual talent-driven industry a reality.
|Adam Bishop
@ Tim
"it's taken us centuries to learn that individual talent matters"
Um, no. I guess you've never read Plato? Because there are passages in The Republic - a 2500 year old book - which is precisely about how much individual talent matters. Hyperbole may be fun, but it doesn't help your argument much.
|Jason Bakker
Why do companies keep reassuring stockholders by talking about the "execs" that are in position at a studio. ie. "Don't worry, we've got a couple of execs there, it's under control." See also Bruckheimer talking about his game studio, http://j.mp/dpGTvn .
Soon the general populace is going to realise that it's the programmers, artists and designers that actually make games, and that execs don't really mean crap - it's the team that matters. Until then, we'll be baffled by companies and spokespeople assuring us that because execs are in place, everything's okay.
|gus one
Nonsense Jason. Developers make games and commercial business people sell them. For a successful business you need both. The problem you have is when developers try and run the business (West/ Zampella are not commercial) or when the business runs the developers (for example forcing them to compromise/ rush etc). It's a very fine line balancing those two opposing forces but get it even half right and you'll have a very successful business (read Activision). They could wind IW down for all I care. IW is irrelevant since they have the IW4.0 engine so Sledgehammer will not have a problem making the follow up. The mindless masses who will buy MW3 in their millions wont be checking the 'wrapper' to see West/ Zampella were not involved. They'll have to do something though about the 100 employees not even working on another game (other than another map pack or two DLC) since it is an uneccessary cost expense.
|Jason Bakker
I agree with you that an executive's role becomes more important when it comes to release and marketing, but in both of these cases people are talking about the execs being there in early/mid development phases, not in the marketing and release phase.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents seized nearly $400,000 from three Mexican nationals in Cuba, Alabama following a traffic stop of a passenger bus bound for Mexico Sunday.
ICE's Homeland Security Investigation team also found illegal drugs in the luggage compartment of the bus. In other parts of the bus, agents found large bundles of cash hidden in three suitcases. The first suitcase contained nearly $83,000 wrapped in cellophane and hidden in a blanket. Investigators say the second suitcase contained $155,000 stuffed inside hollowed out shoes. The third suitcase contained $145,000, also stuffed in shoes.
ICE investigators say each individual arrested claimed they were unaware the money was in their luggage. HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) Birmingham investigators seized a total of $386,900 after determining the individuals arrested didn't claim ownership of the money which meant the money would have cross an international border and was a potential violation of bulk cash smuggling laws.
ICE encourages anyone who suspects narcotics smuggling is taking place to call 1-866-DHS-2ICE.

Baltacha Advances As College Park Kicks Off
Published July 25, 2011 11:16
COLLEGE PARK, MD, USA - Only two seeds were in action on the first day of main draw play at the inaugural Citi Open on a rainy Monday.
Watch Stanford & College Park on WTA Live powered by TennisTV!No.6 seed Elena Baltacha's straight set win over Yaroslava Shvedova was hardly routine, as she had 14 break points against her but saved 13 of them while converting on three of six chances on the Kazakh's serve. The 62 76(5) victory was Baltacha's third in five encounters with Shvedova.
"I felt I played a good, solid match," said Baltacha, the world's top-ranked Brit at No.57. "She stepped it up in the second set and made me work very hard. But I stayed strong mentally and am really happy to be through to the next round."
Next up for Baltacha is Virginie Razzano, a 62 62 winner over wildcard Misaki Doi. "I haven't played Razzano in a long time," said Baltacha, who is 1-2 against the Frenchwoman. "I know it's going to be a tough match, but I'm definitely looking forward to the challenge."
Another Brit, Heather Watson, also advanced with a 64 61 defeat of Eleni Daniilidou to set up a second round clash with Stéphanie Dubois. The Canadian upset seventh-seeded Sania Mirza, 75 64, Dubois' second win in three tries against the Indian and her second WTA main draw match win all year. In a battle of Americans, Varvara Lepchenko outlasted 18-year-old Sloane Stephens, 46 64 63, despite letting a 4-2 first set lead slip away.
Petra Rampre, Madison Brengle, Ryoko Fuda and Alexandra Mueller all secured main draw berths with wins in the final round of qualifying.

Aussies Seeking Different Path
OSAKA, JAPAN, June 2, 2004 - After winning a pair of matches here Wednesday during the opening Qualification Tournament rounds in the women's SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event, Stacey Kloeden and Renael Maycock are not looking to exactly repeat last week's finish in China.
For the second-straight week, the 21st-seeded Aussies defeated the same two teams in a SWATCH-FIVB World Tour stop to advance to the final round of the Qualification Tournament where they seek to avenge a setback to Italian Olympians Laura Bruschini and Annamaria Solazzi last Thursday in Shanghai.
Maycock, who played on Australian's Sydney 2000 Olympic Indoor team, and Kloeden lost to 21-13 and 21-18 to Bruschini and Solazzi last week China to be denied a berth in the Main Draw. "This week, we are looking for a different result, said Maycock after her second match Wednesday.
"It will be tough as the Italians are very experienced and skilled players," said the 24-year old Maycock. While Bruschini and Solazzi are playing in their 66th SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event, Kloeden and Maycock are competing in their sixth.
After defeating 22nd-seeded Larraine Busch and Kaylah Nielsen 21-14 and 21-16 in an Australian country quota match Wednesday morning, Kloeden and Maycock eliminated 12th-seeded Leigh-Ann Naidoo and Julia Willand of South Africa, 22-20, 16-21 and 15-13. Last Wednesday, Kloeden and Maycock ousted the same two teams by almost the same scores.
"We are only playing in the two Asian events this year," said Maycock, "so it is important for us to take advantage of this experience. The wins over the South Africans were very important since they'll be competing in the Olympics." Naidoo and Willand are ticketed a spot in Athens as the African women's representative in the beach volleyball competition.
Thursday's final qualifying matches will determine the final eight spots in the Main Draw as the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event returns to Tannowa Beach for the 11th-straight season. The double-elimination Main Draw starts Friday as 32 teams compete for US$180,000 prize money.
The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour departs Osaka for a weekend off before the final three Olympic qualifying events in Switzerland, Germany and Norway. The beach volleyball competition at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games will be played August 14-25.

Kids in Hannibal were able to keep active Saturday morning, despite the snowfall at an event called Pedal Power.
The Hannibal Parks & Recreation Department opened the Admiral Coontz Recreation Center from 9-11 a.m. to youngsters ages 2-6 with pedal-powered vehicles.
Kids drove their tricycles through courses created with cones.
Organizers say the event is a way to get kids active during the winter months.
"I've had toddlers. I know these kids need to burn off energy and there is not much out there," said Mary Lynne Richards of the Hannibal Parks and Recreation Department.
Richards says they may hold a similar event again in the future.

best carrier for the iPhone
Okay so I'm curious who's everyone's carrier and why did they pick it. If it's a reason like stuck on a family plan with someone then who would you have picked as your ideal carrier if ever doing an individual plan?
I'll start, I currently have AT&T and stuck with them because I get a 25% discount with my company as well as have a grandfathered unlimited data plan. Lately, I've been considering T-Mobile because of their whole "uncarrier" thing and the simple unlimited plans. I think T-mobile is the ideal carrier for the iPhone because you get everything including tethering included and if I have an iPhone, I want to be able to use any feature I want without being restricted like AT&T does - I currently can't get tethering and in order to be in a similar price range bill wise with t mobile, I don't get unlimited minutes and texts. Sprint is also another viable option but I hear their speeds suck. So What do you all think?

Anthropomorphizing the weather?
I know we homo sapiens think we are the center of god's universe, but can we please stop with the practice of interpreting everything around us in terms of human emotion? Especially when it comes to the weather.
"We've got a blast of cold air that's going to come swinging through for the weekend, and our temperatures will struggle to make it above freezing," WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said.
Here I sit looking at the thermometer outside my window. It is made using a coiled piece of metal that expands and contracts as the temperature changes. There is no sign of anything even remotely resembling a struggle.
It's a pet peeve of mine
when Meteorologists talk like we/they (humans)have any control over the weather. They do it a lot.
One of our local weather guys has been making snow in his own front yard for a month or so. He's stopped for now... until he sees the water and electric bills.
Progressives are the true conservatives.
You shouldn't talk like this
you're going to upset the Weather, and then we'll have hail storms for weeks!
If you were a GooPer, your Thermostat would just say NO!
One of my neighbors, an ardent tea-bagger, is out sunning himself as we speak. A dome of warm air has settled in over said tea-bagger's domicile. John Boehner (or is that Boner?) is there rubbing suntan oil on his supporter's hairy back. They'll do anything for a GoopPer voter.
Meanwhile, we liberals are freezing. Yesterday I went into the yard to clear away some debris and came back in to find water leaking from our porch ceiling. Knowing there were no water pipes there I was confooozed. Turns out the bathroom fan vent pipe/flexible tube runs through and apparently vapors had condensed into an ice ball ...and the mild temps yesterday allowed it to melt ..and there must have been a small hole in the vent tubing. We liberals have all the fun...

Hotels in Larnaca are looking for Cypriot staff to work as chambermaids and waiters but there is little interest from the local labour force.
Stavros Rossos of the Tourism Businesses Association said foreigner workers have been leaving Cyprus in the last few months, resulting in vacant positions in positions they traditionally filled.
Rossos said there are vacant positions in other hotel departments but foreign workers have an advantage as Cypriots tend to speak only Greek and English, at a time when Russian, German and other foreign languages are considered a major qualification for working in Cyprus' hotels.
"When a hotel requires Russian speaking staff and cannot find Cypriots it has no other choice but to employ foreign workers," Rossos said.
His view is that although there are currently vacant positions for chambermaids and waiters there is lack of interest from Cypriots, including people who are unemployed.
"It seems that we have learnt to work a five-day week, not to like to work night shifts and to avoid jobs which mean we work during the holiday season," Rosos said.
"It's not a matter of salaries. Salaries are the same for Cypriots and non-Cypriots. It's all down to the mentality of the local workforce," he added.
He expressed the belief that Cypriot politicians have to admit that they spoiled Cypriots by arranging jobs for them and now they look for work without shifts, night work and working on holidays.
Rossos referred to the Golden Bay Hotel in Larnaca as an example of an establishment making a great effort to employ Cypriots with local staff now representing 72% to 74% of its total workforce.
He assured that there are hotels everywhere on the island which adopt a similar policy.
If the economy picks up and returns to the good old days, workers will want to move from hotels to other sectors which do not impose terms like working on weekends, he added.

"Speak Out" is an expression of opinion from the Editorial Board of WBTV, and is presented by General Manager, Nick Simonette.
This Saturday, thousands will gather in Marshall Park in uptown Charlotte for the Komen Charlotte Race for the Cure.
The goal is to help end breast cancer forever.
And WBTV is a sponsor.
There was some controversy earlier this year over funding to Planned Parenthood by some Komen affiliates.
Many have had questions about that…including our board as we considered this editorial.
So, we did some research, and here's what we found.
Komen Charlotte has never supported Planned Parenthood.
No funds raised through the Race for the Cure, or any donations to Komen Charlotte have ever gone to Planned Parenthood.
When you support Komen Charlotte, 75% of net contributions fund health grants in our local community.
They are awarded to non-profit organizations that provide early detection and life-saving treatments.
These local funds directly benefit local people – many who could not afford treatment any other way.
The remaining 25% goes to fund research to find a cure. We've included a link with more information on our SpeakOut page at WBTV dot com.
We hope you'll consider taking part in this year's Komen Charlotte Race for the Cure.
It's an inspiring event that celebrates survivors and unites us all in the fight against breast cancer.
That's something we all can get behind.
Because WBTV is "On Your Side," we encourage everyone to "Speak Out" – tell us what YOU think. email@example.com.

The groups of players comprise the same total positions: 1 OT, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 DE, 1 CB, 2 LB
OT – Andre Smith...27 games, Car AV = 2
RB – Kenny Irons...0 games
WR – Jerome Simpson...71 rec, 1004 yd, 7 td
DE – Michael Johnson...59 tkl, 1 int, 11.5 sacks
CB – Leon Hall...222 tkl, 20 int, 0 sacks
LB – Keith Rivers...120 tkl, 2 int, 2 sacks

1006 total yards, 7 total td's
540 tkl, 26 int, 15.5 sacks
OT – Ryan Clady...64 games, Car AV = 33, 1 pro-bowl, 1 all-pro season
RB – Ray Rice...6,612 total yards, 29 total td, 2 pro-bowls
WR – Mike Wallace...171 rec 3206 yards, 24 td, 1 pro-bowl
DE – Charles Johnson...119 tkl, 0 int, 30.5 sacks

9962 total yards, 53 total td's
598 tkl, 21 int, 110 sacks
So what is the main difference between Group A and Group B?
Group A is drafting by NEED
Group B is drafting by Best Available
The top 2 picks in 2007 were L Hall #18 and K Irons #49
But could have been L Woodley (46) and C Johnson (83)
The top 2 picks in 2008 were K Rivers #9 and J Simpson #46
But could have been R Clady (12) and R Rice (55)
The top 3 picks in 2009 were A Smith #6, R Maualuga #38, M Johnson #70
But could have been C Matthews (26), J Byrd (42), M Wallace (84)
In each draft, when they went after a need, they handcuffed themselves from taking the best player available at that position the next year, but had to fill another need, and missed out on the top players.
Had they taken OT in 2008 (when it wasn't a need) they wouldn't have to reach for Andre Smith in 2009.
Had they not reached for Andre Smith in 2009, they could have taken Clay Matthews.
Had they taken Clay Matthews, they wouldn't have needed to take Rey Maualuga.
Had they not reached for Simpson at WR in 2008, they could have taken Wallace in 2009
Had they not reached for Irons in 2007 they could have taken Rice in 2008
Etc..., etc..., etc...
The point being that when you draft for need, you may fill an immediate perceived weakness, but you are short-selling yourself and limiting your ability to take the best players available that may fall to you in subsequent drafts. Also by filling needs, you pass over better players because they may not be seen as an immediate need, but ultimately taking these better players will improve your team.
Conclusion being if you want the better team, you have to take the better players (best available).

Minou put a link to this as a reply to this post, but it deserves to have a post of its own.
Quinoa Salad with Black Beans, Avocado and Cumin-Lime Dressing (serves 4-6)
- 1 cup dry quinoa, rinsed
- 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 3/4 cup water
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, chopped into chunks
- handful cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into chunks
- small handful cilantro, diced
- 1 limes, juiced
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- salt, to taste
- Warm the olive/coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once it's hot add the rinsed quinoa and toast for about 2-3 minutes until it starts smelling nutty and lovely. Add water, stir once, cover, and simmer with a lid on for 20 minutes.
- While the quinoa is cooking, prepare all other ingredients. Prepare the dressing by combining the lime juice, oil, cumin, and salt. Whisk it aggressively. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- When the quinoa has finished cooking, remove it from heat and fluff with a fork. Add black beans and toss to warm them through.
- Let the quinoa cool for about five minutes and then add all the remaining ingredients, including the dressing, and mix. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve with tortilla chips and a refreshing, cold beer.

Dinner Tonight: "Caprese" (click to embiggen)
Cherry Tomatoes, Silken Tofu, Shiso, Sesame Vinaigrette
I hate the use of scare quotes on menus. Usually because they're completely unnecessary. It'll say something like "coffee" and then go on to describe something that in no way deviates from the usual coffee with which we're all familiar. Drives me nuts.
This time, though, I guess it makes sense. This is out of the Momofuku cookbook. I suppose the tomatoes are consistent, but everything else is flipped. Tofu for the mozzarella; shiso for the basil; sesame oil for olive oil. I grew the tomatoes, so that's rowdy.
And, while the flavors are different, it accomplishes the same thing as a traditional caprese, if that makes any sense. I guess that's the point.
Also, it's a gorgeous dish.

To complement the U.S. Core Titles, bibliographers in the UK are pleased to make available UK CORE TITLES, which is designed to help academic libraries in the ongoing development of their collections, specifically as an aid in identifying the best British titles of the previous quarter or year.
The UK Core list is produced via the same methods used when creating the list of titles profiled in the U.S., involving UK subject-specialist bibliographers to select these titles from the new academic titles published in the UK. Each quarter, with book-in-hand, bibliographers in the UK will select 75 titles, which they consider to be core for academic library collections. The selection will be made from the complete UK publishing base and will cover all subjects. The four quarterly lists will be combined in January and form the UK Core list for the previous year, and will be posted here as soon as possible (usually February).
All of the titles on the UK Core list are available from our UK office. If you do not currently use our services, please contact your customer service bibliographer-liaison to make the necessary arrangements to set up an account. If you prefer not to have a separate UK account, YBP can provide coverage for titles that are distributed in North America or they can import the titles from our UK office.

Does anyone know Bailey's closer entrance song?... if there even is one. Thanks. (copying scouting report to reach minimum number of words)
Bailey's repertoire consists of three main pitches: a four seam fastball, a curveball, and a cutter. Bailey has a very good fastball that he can locate well, coming in at 93-97 mph. Bailey's cutter is also effective at 89-91 mph, and he can often get strikeouts with his fastball or cutter. Bailey's curveball comes in at 78-80 mph, but Bailey usually throws his curveball earlier in the count to get ahead.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio's elections chief says he's confident the presidential battleground state is prepared for the start of early voting on Tuesday.
Ohioans can cast an early ballot by mail or in person for the Nov. 6 election without having to give a reason.
This fall marks the first time absentee ballot applications are being mailed to every registered voter statewide. Secretary of State Jon Husted (HYOO'-sted) said Monday that more than 922,000 people have applied so far for an absentee ballot.
He said it's unclear how that number compares to the last presidential election, because the state didn't collect that data on mailed ballots.
About 30% of Ohio's total vote - or roughly 1.7 million ballots - came in ahead of Election Day in 2008.

|Song lyrics
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.
Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Casey struck out.
So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio;
Don't say "it ain't so", you know the time is now.
Yeah! I got it, I got it!
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun;
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

Entering an exhibition of El Anatsui's work at the
Fowler Museum in Los Angeles, my eyes and spirit
adjust to the dimmed lights and inviting quiet.
Slowly, I begin to take in shimmering curtains of
color that shift and glow in layers of rich texture.
The change in atmosphere feels almost magical,
so it comes as no surprise to learn that in Africa,
where Anatsui is from, artists are often seen as
mediators of supernatural energies.
Magic or not, Anatsui's laborious creative process
effects a powerful transformation; despite a luxurious appearance, these wall hangings and standing
sculptures are made from trash.
When goods are shipped to Africa from other
areas of the world, the means to recycle the packaging materials locally are limited, and so boxes, tins,
bottles, and cans accumulate in large piles. A strong
believer in making art with what's available rather
than using store-bought materials, Anatsui collects
the detritus and uses it for his art.
Skin of the Earth (2006), an expanse of glimmering
gold punctuated with bright red and blue, is made
from thousands of aluminum caps from liquor
bottles, the consumption of which has drastically
increased since Africa was colonized by European
Each cap is carefully flattened, and the small
pieces are attached in small sections using a process
that recalls the tradition of weaving kente cloth.
A series of silvery cones that curiously resembles
a Dr. Seuss landscape, Peak Project (1999) is made
from the circular tops of discarded milk tins.
Originally from Ghana, Anatsui came to Nigeria
in 1975 and has lived and worked there ever since.
As a teacher at the University of Nigeria, he has
influenced a generation of young artists and is
recognized as one of Africa's foremost artists. In
recent years, his evocative and thought-provoking
work has also gained the well-deserved attention
of the contemporary art world.

Ok, I know; the Dark Lord of the Process, Darth Saban, would be disappointed in me for thinking about a game other than Tennessee. But thankfully for our boys in crimson, my scrawny frame has not been pressed into service for the University of Alabama football team. As such, I'm allowed all the meaningless speculation my heart could possibly desire.So, Syracuse is embarrassing West Virginia right now, one of two "quality wins" recorded this season by LSU (or, as my grandmother insists on calling them, "Lucy"). Much has been made about the three ten-thousandths of a point (0.0003) that separate Lucy and 'Bama right now in the BCS polls. Which means, even if WVU pulls out a surprise in the second half and squeaks out a win, LSU's about to take a hit in the computers. Meaning, even if the Bayou Bengals survive their visit from the Barn, the computers still might push Alabama to the top of the charts.
Does it matter? Of course not. Is it fun to think about? On a Friday with nothing else going on, why not.

"I liked the cards a lot. We also used a different wash for the picture to give it an antiqued look, which is a new Tiny Prints feature that worked well. Did NOT like that 3 cards came with bent corners because they were dented in shipping. They were a bit pricey, and I might go cheaper next year, though you do get what you pay for."
"I ordered this card with the upgraded thick paper stock. I was hoping that it would be substantial and it was! The photo reproduced beautifully. The only area I was a little disappointed was where we added our individual names. I love the font which was somewhat ornate but I was limited in size. While it was legible, it reproduced small and somewhat faint...minor in the whole scheme of things. Overall, I am quite satisfied."
"Site was easy to use and upload to. I was late on my Christmas schedule so I paid for rush delivery; ordered late Wednesday evening, arrived early Saturday morning! Print colors and paper quality excellent. Used back of card to caption the images. Reason for 4-stars on design is inability to change "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" to another greeting, e.g. 'Merry Christmas'. Otherwise, a 5-star product. One tip: when editing photos before uploading, use a 3x4 cropping frame."
"This is my second time ordering postcards as my Christmas card and I love it. It's unique and fun. A couple things to note - it is small, but not tiny. It is nice if you don't have very high quality photos because you don't need to blow them up. One small complaint is that we couldn't put a return address label on the back because it would have covered our text. It would be nice if TinyPrints showed how much room is at the top (size)."
"Overall I was happy with the card, but in retrospect I would not have wasted the extra money on getting the pearl shimmer paper - I am thinking the pearl shimmer may look better on designs that have predominantly white/lighter colors. But in terms of the design and overall quality, I am pleased!"

A multi-award winning MArch in Architecture Thesis Project
Images and text by Carl Raymond Harper -
The project is sited in the estuary of the River Tees, located in and on the liminal landscape of eyots formed in the wake of container ships using the Teesmouth port.
The principle facility is an augmented form that rises from Silt Island as two sheer walls, with a different programme contained within each of the walls. The outer elevation of the eastern wall is covered in seaweed, and changes its appearance due to the changing seasons and the particular stage of the drying process. The building receives sea resources into a series of multiple cradle to cradle processes to the point where waste is removed.

Men's soccer knocks off UNF, 1-0
Related Links
Senior forward Ramak Niakan Safi continues to be clutch off the bench as he scored the game-winning goal to help the JU men's soccer team down Atlantic Sun and cross-town rival UNF, 1-0, on Sunday night at Hodges Stadium.
With the win, the Dolphins (9-7, 6-1) evened the standings in the annual SunTrust River City race and regained the Dennis Violett Memorial Cup to bring back to the JU campus. The Dolphins also held the Ospreys (7-9, 3-4) to six shots to earn their second consecutive shutout and their eight A-Sun road win in the last nine matches.
"That was a huge win," said JU head coach Mike Johnson. "Not only did we defeat our rival, but we continue to keep pace in the top of the A-Sun standings. I was proud of the way our guys fought tonight. We still have to keep this momentum rolling and see how far we can take it us."
Less than two minutes before the half, senior defender Philipp Meyner delivered a cross toward the JU box which Niakan Safi headed in for his fifth goal of the season to give the Dolphins' game winner.
The Ospreys managed only three shots in the second half, but they couldn't get them past the stingy Dolphins' defense to overcome the deficit.
Senior defender Joey Sanchez needed only one stop to earn his fifth shutout of the season between the nets. UNF senior goalie Tony Restino made five saves on 12 stops in the loss.
The Dolphins return to action on Friday at the Ashley Sports Complex as they take on Belmont beginning at 7 p.m.

Who would have put down a deuce on this trifecta coming in? Gracie Gold, Polina Edmunds, and Mirai Nagasu with Ashley Wagner out of the money? That's how it was at TD Garden on Thursday night when the US Figure Skating Championships served up a short-program surprise with Olympic tickets at stake.
Gold, who was ninth after last year's short, had changed her program theme since her last competition in November, switching from Gershwin to Grieg. Edmunds, a leggy 15-year-old from San Jose with a Russian mom, had spent the season on the junior circuit. And Nagasu, a former champion and Vancouver veteran, since had been knocked around by the sport and by life. All of them finished ahead of Wagner, the two-time defending champion who's bidding to become the first woman to win three crowns in a row since Michelle Kwan claimed her eighth straight in 2005.

The Present and Future Economic Wellbeing of Massachusetts
Massachusetts Economic Trends and Your Business
The economic outlook continues to be a focal point for business owners. To help explain the state of the economy today and plan for the future, Middlesex Savings Bank hosted its 14th Annual Economic Breakfast on October 30th.
The event brought together over 250 regional business owners and entrepreneurs, and featured Dr. Michael Goodman, a regionally recognized economist, co-editor of MassBenchmarks, the journal of the Massachusetts Economy and Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Public Policy, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
Dr. Goodman's presentation covered the state of the state and regional economies, and the economic outlook for the year ahead.
Key points covered during the presentation:
- Corporate profits are at record highs and conditions in the housing market are improving.
- Inflation is low and expected to remain low for the foreseeable future.
- The Massachusetts employment market is recovering; however recovery at the national level has a way to go.
- Global economic slowdown is hampering the Massachusetts recovery.
- While still below its pre-recession highs and fighting sluggish housing starts, the Boston area real estate market has bounced back better than other cities across the country.
- Federal budget cuts (spending, payroll taxes, sequester, etc...) continue to represent a major threat to the economic outlook.
Dr. Goodman discussed which businesses and industries are positioned to capitalize during the current recovery. He also pointed out that in general, the Metrowest region of Massachusetts is well-positioned for growth, noting that 57% of business owners stated their outlook was better than it was a year ago. Additionally, he illustrated how health care costs and government regulations were the two most important challenges facing Massachusetts businesses today.
After the breakfast, Dr. Goodman held a thoughtful and lively question and answer session with the audience.
For those who were able to attend, thank you for joining us at our Annual Economic Forecast Breakfast. We hope you found the day's presentation valuable, and we look forward to serving your future banking needs.
To learn more about Dr. Goodman's perspectives on the Massachusetts Economy, watch our brief video.

A bomb explodes in Hastings, now police try to find out where it came from.
NTV spoke with homeowner Rod Pontine earlier on Friday. He says the explosive was set at his home early Thanksgiving morning, right between the storm door and front door.
Pontine tells us it violently exploded...blowing the storm door into the yard, shattering glass, and damaging the inside of his home.
Pontine, his wife and two young children live at the home, and fortunately no one was hurt.
He hopes someone out there will be able to help the police find answers.
"Well, this was a very serious crime," said homeowner Rod Pontine. "And we would appreciate anyone's help in solve this crime. They can contact Deputy Paul Webber at the Hastings Police Department."
The bomb squad was called to the scene. Hastings Police are still investigating, and say they haven't made any arrests yet.

When I saw this pic (video, really) of Manu, I knew I wanted to draw him. But it was a royal pain to draw because of all the shadows and the not-so-clearly-defined details. Never mind the fact that halfway through, it looked like a cross between Tony Parker and Ime Udoka.
I managed to finish it, at last. And I'm quite glad. Because I don't think I want to stare at this sketch for too long. I'm quite positive that Manu Ginobili could kill you with a look. I wonder if he gives that look to whoever is guarding him just before he does his behind-the-back crossover to Euro step his way to a dunk.

Concord-Carlisle High School administrators responded swiftly to reports of bullying against former student Isabella "Belle" Hankey, according to a letter being sent to the school community Wednesday by Superintendent Diana Rigby.
"In spite of what you may read or hear, I can assure you that CCHS responded swiftly to each incident and complaint involving the student," Rigby wrote in the letter, which was released by a district spokesman. "Student safety remains our highest priority."

Overall, tone-wise the last trailer didn't know if it was intentionally campy or not, and sometimes seemed like it was trying to be both. So if this is going to work at all, it'll be up to the cast to find that balance, and a new clip from the film seems to show just that.
Taking place just after the banished Thor (Chris Hemsworth) crash lands on Earth, the clip finds Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgård and Kat Dennings trying to figure what is up with this random ripped dude whose in the middle of a cornfield. Not everything here works -- Thor's yelling to the sky is a bit hokey -- but Portman and Dennings display a pretty good partnership, with the former playing the straight man to the latter's quips. If Dennings walks away with the bulk of the movie's laughs, that will be fine by us.
The film's huge cast also includes Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Colm Feore, Ray Stevenson, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Rene Russo and Adriana Barraza and it will arrive in theaters on May 6, 2011. [via Collider]

It's a shame Kat Dennings role in this film looks to be a complete waste of space apart from needless comic relief and not quite as pithy as the writers hoped they would be Generation Y remarks.
I just don't know about Thor as a film overall. Part of me says it might be the surprising underdog of all Marvel films, the other parts say steer clear of the crater it'll leave in your mind after having seen it.

This could have been ok if they picked the right person for Thor, but Captain Kirk's dad blows.

This actually looks kinda' funny (like it meant to be funny, not sooo bad it's funny.).

This film is looking more tolerable by the moment and with a nice sense of "Iron Man"-like levity, but yeah, it looks like it's going to be undone at every turn by Chris Hemsworth's "acting."
