We just installed new red oak floors. Jennifer Taylor for The Wall Street Journal.
How can you wire your house for an uncertain media future?
This was the question my husband Vijay and I faced when we met with the electrician who is wiring the Harlem brownstone that we are gut renovating.
We were sitting at a local coffee shop with the electrician, sketching out every electrical point, when the issue came up. Well, actually, the TV issue came up–but it led us to more cosmic issues, including the future of broadband and the demise of our couch.
"Where are you going to put your TV?" the electrician asked. He wanted to know whether to install a special outlet for a flat-screen TV in one of our rooms.
Vijay and I looked at each other. "Um, I don't know," I said. "Are we going to have a TV?" I asked Vijay. He shrugged.
You see, our TV was 25 years old. It was so old it couldn't play DVDs without an RF modulator to degrade the quality of the image. So when we moved to a smaller apartment during the renovation, we threw it away. No one wanted it, even for free.
We haven't missed it much. We were a bit forlorn during the Winter Olympics, but otherwise hadn't noticed its absence. After all, we are both busy with our jobs, our two small children and managing the gut renovation.
"Maybe we'll just start watching everything on the Internet?" I asked Vijay.

We're getting closer to the finish line. Jennifer Taylor for The Wall Street Journal.
Sensing a thorny marital discussion, the electrician tried to change the topic. "OK, Internet," he said. "That's a good point. Do you want Ethernet jacks in every room?"
Oh dear. I can't remember the last time I used one of those Ethernet jacks in a hotel room. We live on Wi-Fi; our apartment is wirelessly networked. "Aren't we just doing Wi-Fi?" I asked Vijay.
"Phone jacks in every room?" the electrician tried again.
"Are we even going to have a landline?" I turned to Vijay again.
Welcome to the challenge of designing for a changing media landscape. This is something I supposedly know something about, since my job is to write and oversee technology coverage at the Journal. Maybe, in part, because I am so close to it, I feel that the sector is filled with uncertainty.
The range of possibilities are endless. Maybe Google's experimental fiber broadband Internet network–which promises speeds more than 100 times faster than what most of us get today –will pave the way for a new era. Or maybe WiMax–wireless broadband Internet networks that can deliver faster speeds–will finally become pervasive.
But we live in the world of here and now. So we decided to stick with the tried-and-true technology–with Ethernet jacks, cable jacks and phone jacks in all the bedrooms. Who knows if we'll use them, but it's nice to know they are there.
As for the television, we thought it might be nice to have a flat-screen TV on a wall somewhere. But as we pondered the drawings, we realized that there was no natural place for it. Our living room is basically 10 feet wide and dominated by a giant floor-to-ceiling carved pier mirror on one wall and a window on the other.
The bedroom is not an option because Vijay likes to watch TV after I've gone to bed–and it would keep me awake. So for now, we are not putting any special outlets in for a wall-mounted television. We can always use an old-fashioned TV stand if we buy one.
But the TV decision brought us to another an unfortunate realization: Our couch would not fit in the living room.
Somehow in all our planning and drawings, we had never thought about whether our sectional couch would fit in the narrow brownstone. Now, I admit that the couch is no prize-winner. It's faded from it's original sage green to a kind of olive-gray sheen, and the kids have grafitti'd it with several marker streaks that we haven't been able to get out.
When I told my dad that the couch wouldn't fit, he was thrilled. "Now you can finally get some decent furniture!" he said.
Our beloved couch won't be moving with us from our rental apartment. Jennifer Taylor for The Wall Street Journal.
But the couch is sentimental for us. Our friends bought it for us as a wedding present to replace the scratchy, dusty couch that was a vestige of Vijay's bachelor life. It was our first big financial gamble of married life: We searched all over and eventually decided to plunk down $3,000 to buy the couch online sight unseen. (I even wrote about it for the Journal.)
It was the first indication that we were going to be the kind of risk-takers that would attempt to renovate a Harlem brownstone without any expertise.
But now it will have to go.
I guess it's a lesson: It's just as hard to hold onto the past as it is to plan for the future.

AUGUSTA, Ga --- An arrest in the stabbing death of an Augusta woman. Police say they have her husband in custody and they have the murder weapon.
Sixty-one year old Charles Perez is accused of stabbing his wife to death, fifty-seven year old Deborah Perez. Police say it happened overnight inside their 2702 Richmond Hill Road home. Their daughter, Norah McKnight discovered her mother's body around nine o'clock this morning.
"It has got scary recently," says Katie Williams. She lives alone and doesn't get out much. Because she's older she relies on a security system to make her feel safe. "I just turn it on and go to bed," she says.
But on days like these she wonders if it's enough.
"Could they break the security and come in here after me?" she asks. "They could do it."
Just a few houses down from Katie's -- a homicide investigation. The body of her fifty-seven year old neighbor found stabbed to death inside her home.
"We do have a direction that this investigation is going toward and it's possibly domestic. We're not ruling that out at this point," he says.
So Katie waches as police question her neighbors. "It used to be quiet through here," she says. She doesn't even recognize her street anymore. "At night there are cars going up and down that road like you wouldn't believe," she says.
But this morning those cars had sirens. And that scares her. "You know you don't know whether you're going to get knocked in the head but you can't let it worry you. You've got to hope things will be alright."

Specifically designed for digital SLR cameras equipped with APS-C size image sensors, the Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens is a lens that captures a rectangular 180° view in all directions. The diagonal field of view of this fisheye lens produces striking images with exaggerated perspective and distortion.
The minimum focusing distance of 5.3" (13.5 cm) and maximum magnification 1:3.3 allows subjects to be as close as 0.7" (1.8 cm) from the lens' front element. This close focusing capability allows close-up photography and also it is possible to make use of large depth of field that covers wide range of subjects. Even the most familiar and mundane of subjects can be portrayed with startlingly fresh new expressions through exaggerated perspectives and unusual distortion effects. Well suited for academic and technical measurements such as solid angle measurements, cloud cover measurements & virtual reality.
DC lenses are exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. The image circle (rear of lens) is made to match the smaller dimensions used for the image sensor on digital cameras. As a result, these lenses are also more compact and lightweight, and are better matched to digital SLR cameras.
Note! Not compatible with 35mm film cameras or digital cameras using full-size image sensors (e.g. D3).
Fast, ultra-wideangle, rectangular image lens.
EX lens series denotes excellence of engineering and new technology.
The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) system ensures quiet and high-speed auto focusing with full time manual focus override.
The built-in lens hood blocks out extraneous light, and the Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes flare and ghosting, creating superior image quality.
The lens is supplied with an insertion-type gelatin filter holder at the rear allowing the use gelatin filter.

Fun Lens
This review is from: Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera
Pros: Amazing wide-angle for Canon 7D or any other 1.6x crop sensor. Bought this for video work with my 7D and have used it many times, either for the fun fish-eye effect, or to show a 180 degree panorama. This IS the best fish-eye for the 7D or any cropped sensor DSLR.
Cons: Not sharp at the f/2.8 range in comparison to other Canon or Tokina lenses. Stopped up to the 4 range and you'll see a big difference but lose a lot of the low light capability that makes this lens appealing. I still use the 2.8 range for filming concerts and other things and the footage is definitely usable, just don't expect Canon level sharpness in this range. It's also slightly more noisy at higher ISO ranges in comparison to Canon and Tokina lenses.
Other Thoughts: I bought this lens specifically for its Fish-Eye barrel effects for video. It's a very expensive lens for this single effect so if you're looking for a good wide-angle lens for a cropped sensor camera such as the Canon 7D, I highly recommend the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 PRO DX, which is nearly as wide without the fish-eye barrel effects and extremely sharp in the 2.8 range!

Not bad but expected more
This review is from: Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera
Pros: Excellent build quality. Very carryable and lens cover stays in place. Built in hood petals protect glass from the environment. Good wide angle on a 1.6 crop sensor. In the right environment, this is a good walk around lens.
Cons: Not sharp at f2.8 - I was expecting "canon crisp". Stopped down to f8 it looks real nice though.
Other Thoughts: Still getting used to the uses of a fisheye in my photography.

We have gathered the latest brush-on gel polish available at the time of printing, but more companies are finishing development on lines of their own.
Greige, variations of the moon manicure, and gritty textured nails were the hot nail looks on the runways at New York Fall Fashion Week, which took place last spring. This gallery is an expanded version of the article in the September 2010 issue of NAILS Magazine.
As gels increase in popularity, manufacturers plant a wider variety of color gels into their lines so techs can match the different seasons. From pastel pinks to bold blues and pretty purples in-between, here's a sampling of the latest spring gel collections.
BIG. BOLD. BRIGHT. COLOR. That's what we thought when we opened the 2010 spring polish collections. This season's new nail colors are the brightest, boldest, most vibrant hues we've seen in years.
Once relegated to men, a matte finish is now being touted by women everywhere as a fresh, edgy, and confident style. The lack of glossiness increases the impact of the polish color itself, letting it "wow" without any distractions.
Matte finishes, moon manicures, metallics, and nudes made up an exciting nail scene at New York Fashion Week, which took place September 10-17. This gallery is an expanded version of the article in the February 2010 issue of NAILS Magazine.
So what are your favorite products? We've tallied the votes and are happy to announce the winners of the 2009 NAILS Readers' Choice Awards.
A modern spin on the classic 1950s "how to be a better housewife" tips, we've got you covered in common stain removal. And to put the final twist on it, we present you with a myriad of coffee, red wine, and lipstick stains all made out of this fall's new polish collections.

Date on which the narrative summary became available on the Committee's website: 7 April 2011
Date on which the narrative summary was updated: 16 December 2013, 27 December 2013
The Armed Islamic Group was listed on 6 October 2001 pursuant to paragraph 8 (c) of resolution 1333 (2000) as being associated with Al-Qaida, Usama bin Laden or the Taliban for "participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf, or in support of", "supplying, selling or transferring arms and related materiel to" or "otherwise supporting acts or activities of" Al-Qaida (QE.A.4.01).
Additional information
The Armed Islamic Group or GIA (from the French « Groupe Islamique Armé ») is based in Algeria and was founded in the early 1990s by veterans of the war in Afghanistan following the Algerian Government's ban on the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in December 1991.
In 1993, GIA began a high-profile campaign of terrorist acts and quickly became one of Algeria's most radical and violent extremist groups. It distinguished itself from other groups operating in Algeria by its indiscriminate targeting of intellectuals and other civilians.
Prominent Al-Qaida (QE.A.4.01) figures, such as United Kingdom-based Omar Mahmoud Uthman (QI.M.31.01), a.k.a. Abu Qatada, and Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, aka Abu Musab al-Suri, served as editors for the GIA newsletter, Al-Ansar, during the mid-1990s. This pamphlet was the most significant extremist publication at that time. In 1997, Mostafa Kamel Mostafa Ibrahim (QI.I.67.02), a.k.a. Abu Hamza, became editor-in-chief of Al-Ansar. Abu Hamza also served as the group's unofficial spokesman during the 1998 'Ramadan massacres' in Algeria.
The Algerian diaspora in Europe, particularly in France, has been a source of GIA financial support and recruitment. France has also been a target of GIA attacks.
GIA has been involved in a number of terrorist acts, including hijacking, bombing civilian sites, attacking civilians and ambushing Algerian security forces. Between 1992 and 2002, GIA reportedly killed more than 100 foreigners, mostly Europeans, in Algeria.
GIA's terrorist activities include:
- hijacking an Air France flight in Algiers in December 1994 with the intention of crashing it over Paris; one passenger was executed by the GIA;
- a series of bombings in France in 1995 which killed 10 people and injured more than 200 on subways in Paris, at outdoor markets, at a Jewish school, and against a high-speed train. Several GIA members were convicted in France for these crimes in late 1999;
- kidnapping and assassinating 7 monks from the monastery of Tibehirine, Algeria, in 1996;
- assassinating the Catholic Bishop of Oran, Algeria, a proponent of inter-faith dialogue, in 1996;
- bombing a market place in Larbaa, Algeria, on 5 July 2002 (Algerian Independence Day) in which 35 people died;
- massacres of entire villages and families between 1995 and the late 1990s, killing several hundred people.
In 1998, GIA split over the issue of attacking civilians. One of its commanders, Hassan Hattab, broke away to found the Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC), listed as the Organization of Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (QE.T.14.01). Many GIA members defected to this new group.

This time I'm also joining in the fun Very interesting to see that almost 25% of the income is from linux sales. It really helps to put that mythical 1%-market-share-not-a-viable-market-for-games issue in perspective. According to my rough calculations, approximately 16500 linux users have purchased the bundle so far, which means about 13% of all purchases. Mac represents about 25700 purchases, or about 20%.
And after that, will any editor of AAA title will finally understand that their is a true gaming linux market?
Give me the name of any title that yield more than a million dollar in just three days. All Epic / Steam / EA / Crytek people, are you seeing that ?
Ok, that GTA4 example wasn't a fair comparision, because that's precisely THE game that has generated more gross income ever. Most top-notch games usually only generate about 20-50 million dollars in sales.
Heck just putting up a single iPhone game can easily generate that same revenue in a shorter amount of time.
I guess iPhone is kinda hit or miss these days. Especially since there's exponentially more and more people trying to get a slice of the pie.
Any app is hit or miss on any platform, but given the choice, would you rather have the revenue from an app like Angry birds on the iphone or the revenue from this bundle?
Hint: Angrybirds generates a million dollars a month on ad revenue alone. That is not including the sales of the ad free version.
Yes, now. I thought we were talking the first three days?
Angry Birds' first three days made a whopping ten sales IIRC.

"Don't just count your years, make your years count"-Ernest Meyers
" What matters most in life is often viewed as peripheral to the things that we usually focus on...by putting off what is truly important or indulging in things that are not. It's time to start meditating on life now, and make it better by reshuffling priorities for this next year. I will spend time with friends and family,taking care of my body and health by eating well and exercising regularly, and offer to help others. Discovering what matters most will make my daily life a true reflection of my ideas, beliefs and attitudes."

The Diet Center informed me today that they cannot allow me to safely lose any more weight. They said their computer will not allow me to go down any further than 124 pounds, given my bone structure and BMI calculations. They are going to take my picture on Friday, and start my 6 week Stabalization process which intails a new book of menus. After 6 weeks, I will begin their Maintenence Program which guarantees that I will maintain that weight for 1 year. This is included in the sign-up fees.
Altogether, it will have been 20-21 months for 80 pounds of permanent & safe weight removal, and diet and exercise rehabilitation. : ) criss
My body has its own mind, very different from mine. I tell it to loose inches around its middle, but, oh no, instead it looses inches around the chest and arms!
Knowing that crunches won't remove the middle fat, I ask it by doing extra minutes on the eliptical, pushing 600 to 1000 calories away, but, the body answers, no way!
How do I convince this body of mine to cooperate with the rest? I'm getting tired of this fight, but there's no choice until I end up the ultimate winner!
I've dropped 128 inches, and from 212 to 124 pounds, in 9 months...and am not done yet~! It's not easy at any stage, but I know it can be done, because it's possible! My new secret weapon is yogurt. I hate yogurt, but caught the cold/flu, and everything tasted like vinegar, so to relieve my hunger pains, I downed a few teaspoons of yogurt every couple of hours, and ended up losing 5 lbs in 2 weeks! I think it kept me from thinking about sugary chocolatey junk, and I kept my focus on teas, soups and healthy choices. Hope this helps.... criss
* **Note from SP***
Beans: Secret Weapon Ingredient:
Ahem...allow us to introduce to you one of many Secret Weapon Ingredients. And what, you might ask, are Secret Weapon Ingredients? They are versatile foods that are perfect for mixing into many recipes and dishes and provide a nutritional punch to any meal. They are easy and convenient, and their health benefits are numerous. Do you have trouble making your kids eat healthy foods? Sneak these into their meals and their bodies will be grateful.
These little guys are a major source of soluble fiber, which keeps the digestive tract moving efficiently and therefore allowing it to absorb nutrients more effectively. Fiber also lowers bad cholesterol levels in the blood. How can you use beans? Replace fatty meat with low-fat beans in some of your recipes. They will make you feel full, so you're less likely to overeat. Add them to salad or soups. For a simple dinner idea, mix beans with brown rice or whole wheat pasta.
I felt Liberated and Free for a moment in time. Yesterday, May 19th, 2008, I ran 25 yards for the FIRST time in 4 years!
The doctors said I would never be able to go for walks again, let alone RUN! Today I'm taking massive amounts of Ibuprophen to stifle the pain, but it is a happy pain to know I can lift my foot off the ground.
Now I will baby the thing back to relative painlessness, and I hope to try it again next week!
I Defied all the Odds...I Love this Life !!!

Ritual Human Sacrifice in the Bible
(Why does God want me to burn animals and humans?)
The Bible, especially the Old Testament, is filled with numerous stories of animal and human sacrifice. God, we are told, likes the pleasing aroma of burning flesh. Animal sacrifice is much more common than human sacrifice, but both occur and are "pleasing to the Lord".
Genesis, the first book of the Bible, has Abraham preparing to sacrifice his son to God. "Take your son, your only son yes, Isaac, whom you love so much and go to the land of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will point out to you." (Genesis 22:1-18) Abraham takes his own son up on a mountain and builds an altar upon which to burn him. He even lies to his son and has him help build the altar. Then Abraham ties his son to the altar and puts a knife to his throat. He then hears God tell him this was just a test of his faith. However, God still wanted to smell some burnt flesh so he tells Abraham to burn a ram.
Even though he didn't kill his son, it is still an incredibly cruel and evil thing to do. If Abraham did that today he would be in jail serving a long sentence as someone's prison-bitch. It amazes me how Christians see this story as a sign of God's love. There is no love here, just pure unadulterated evil

That's why they had to hastily come up with a "new" testament ... the old one being so nonsensical and violent. Of course, revisionists are even today detoxing the New Testament ... you know, to make it easier to read and understand. Us modern folk being so stupid and all.

The OT clearly lined out the messiah and carefully detailed what he must do BEFORE being accepted as messiah.
Did it say the messiah would have a short lived ministry and be humiliated by his enemies? Nope.
Did it say the messiah would be a Demi god? Nope.
Did it say the messiah would be God himself come to earth? Nope.
Did it say the messiah would perform miracles of the supernatural variety? Nope.
Again the messiah was to be a man with the following qualities to lead the Jews to prosperity. A wise king strong and clever like a general yet knowledgable and kind in enforcing the laws God had set for them in the OT.
Jesus pissed all over the OT laws and when questioned merely gave angry how dare you question me responses. Had he been God or his son surely he would know how out of line his teachings would be going against centuries of following his laws.
Instead of reuniting the Jews he divided them even more.
He failed in every way a messiah wannabe could.

....uhh...?..yeah..The Old Testament ...does nothing that clearly lines out ,or carefully details ,the coming of the Messiah...
2) There are passages that suggest a sinless servant ,who by his voluntary sufferings atones for the sins of his people...and, saves us from just punishment.
3)Yes, Jesus did away with the old covenant ...to bring the new covenant..
3a)It was the Jews who rejected the Messiah...not, the other way around..
4)He conquered Death and Sin...returned mankind to God..(for those willing anyway)...not, really the definition of failure..
5)I hope I hit all your points..

You should actually read it before making a jackass out of yourself.
If Jesus existed he failed to complete a single meaningful messianic prophecy so the Jews at the time would be correct to reject him. Plus all he dis was repeat what several famous roman gods at the time had already done. Your vague scripture free descriptions of messiah details ignored on the fact they are apologetic style edited to sound like Jesus.
How long did his actual ministry with him leading it even last? A very brief time whereas the Messiah was to travel far and wide with his ministry even crossing the Nile.
Jesus acted like a jackass and was committed suicide by Cop. Not exactly the strong clever messiah with wisdom beyond Solomon that the OT spoke of.

1)..I'm working on that...
2) I don't think you realize the impact Jesus has had...you can't even run for high office without claiming him as your personal savior ..
2a) maybe so...but, Jesus is the winner, Roman pantheon is not..
3)His ministry...three years...But, with Jesus ...a little bit will do you..!
4)..suicide by cop...you are grasping at straws ...being killed for your ideas and convictions ....this is called being murdered ...
4a) Healing people is not generally considered acting like a jack-ass...this is deep seated hostility ....you are an ill individual ..

1: No surprise most Christholes have never read beyond what their preacher says. I used to be like you but progressed past it.
2: I know all about the influence of the Christholes and if Constatine had had a PTSD hallucination of Perseus you would be defending him now instead of Jesus.
3: His short ministry only proves how pitiful he was. Not even a decent prophet let alone messiah. Why worship such a loser?
4: How many people did Jesus heal by beating unarmed merchants following the law with a whip? Such a display would have gotten him beheaded by Moses if he was lucky.

10 Cuts to Score the Best Hair Ever
Sometimes, you got to work with what you got. The same holds true for hair. Find out which style best suits your hair type, and you can bid farewell to bad hair days.
By Julie Seguss
For Straight Coarse Hair
Best Cut: Coarse hair can get full and heavy if cut to one length. If you know what we're talking about, steal a page from Salma Hayek's stylebook.
Get the Look: A blunt cut runs the risk of turning into a triangular style, with too much hair at the bottom. The extra weight can also cause your hair to fall flat. Your cut should include loads of layers and the stylist should texturize hair to remove some of the bulk that occurs due to the coarse nature of your strands, says Ong.

Saffron_Blaze: Wonder how they are going to deal with Personality Rights and Model Releases. Flickr is essentially a re-user by selling these images and it is their responsibility to ensure consent is obtained where required. For the type of commercial use they are engaging in here they would normally need them. I guess they are hoping those identifiable people never find out they have been sold by Flickr.
Not to mention that there is no guarantee that the 'photographer' who uploaded the image took it in the first place... This seems like a legal nightmare! It seems to me that Flickr needs to start curating the images like an agency, if they are going to earn revenue selling them as prints.
I'm all for improvements in technology and image quality over time, but still waiting to see an article with the title "Skilled photographer upgrades to new camera and others notice dramatic improvement!"
ManuelVilardeMacedo: Just came here to post the 2000th comment. I really don't care about the article. Sorry...
Maybe he is arguing in his spare time ;)
Stephan Def: Just out of curiosity, what cameras do have sound recording per image?
I think its a very important function that has very many uses, to capture the atmosphere of some situation its very important. Technically it seems like a no brainer to me. So what is it about marketing departments that are intentionally crippling functions in Cameras?
Not that it is a sports camera by any stretch of the imagination...but even the Olympus E-PL1 has audio recording per image!
Skip Bastrisky: Well, I guess I'm mixed up with all the 7D confusion !!! I'am a professional photographer who shoots action auto racing. I have press credentials with NASCAR. I shoot with three, I repeat three Canon 7 D's and all my lens from 18mm to 400 are Canon "glass" lens. I produce wonderful and colorful prints up 16X20 and have good bokah,clarity and not much "noise" in them!!!! I shoot three to four thousand photos a race weekend and I don't seem to need voice recordings. And I guess I'm deaf because I don't hear any rational noise in the "shutter" department.They look as good or better than what you posted of"Seattle". I think it's all in the preference of where you want to put your money !!!! I use the three different 7D's so that I don't miss a shot by having to change lens!!! I have about $30,000 tied up in my equipment. The only problem between me and her is that I don't have a big corporation to buy my cameras and glass !!!! I had a couple of "pennies" laying around, so I used them !!!
I doubt anyone has ever complained about the shutter noise from a camera at a NASCAR race :)
lorenzo de medici: Very helpful review and commentary. Someone who earns their living by their photographs is an authority, period. Her being a Canon user but generally biased against this particular model contributed to a nice balance of praise and criticism. I also wonder, what cameras do have the voice caption feature? My Nikon D810 does not.
There's really only one thing that I find less than helpful about this review. As a working newspaper photographer, she gets credentials to stand on the sideline where the action is. So she doesn't really need the extra reach of a smaller sensor on a telephoto. Neither do I, since I can crop out of my 36MP image to get the same result. But many people, who don't get to stand on the sideline, do find the 1.5 focal length multiplier to be helpful in sports photography. Not an issue for her, so she downplays that advantage that this camera has.
Olympus E-PL5, E-M1 and E-M5 do, as well as others in the line... They allow a 30s voice note to be recorded with an image. This is an interesting point that doesn't get much mention in reviews - and why an opinion piece like this is interesting to me. I don't understand why some people (in other comments) seem to think every opinion piece should result in recommendations that make sense for every potential buyer of this camera. The PJ has a specific niche/use of this body, and her comments reflect that. For me this adds to the discussion of how working photographers use cameras, rather than being a buy/don't buy recommendation for everyone.
bcalkins: A lot of progress has been made in compact cameras - at least 3 of these cameras on the lens chart have wider effective apertures than most dSLRs with a kit 18-55mm zoom. It also shows the value of lens choice - a kit with a couple of inexpensive f/1.8 primes would be off the bottom of the chart (page 1 of the review) whether MFT (just), APS-C or Full Frame.
They should add an APS-C dSLR with kit zoom to give you an idea of how much depth of field control you do get with these much smaller cameras!
In whose hands, though? I doubt the majority of buyer of an inexpensive dSLR kit push the limits enough to notice a difference... Little difference in online, or small prints. Or at least I see little difference between my friends who have Rx100 or Canon G series versus the Rebels and D3100's... Except that the ones with the compact cameras take them with them :)

Simon97: Despite its lower pixel count, at ISO 1600 the LX100's images don't turn to mush. Look at the text on the grey background. The LX100 stays legible while the Canon and Sony have become mushy. Megapixel race anyone?
I don't care for Canon's soft approach with very strong sharpening halos. The LX100 has more "snap".
Except that the LX100 also bests the G1X Mk II, in my opinion. I'm surprised how much better the LX100 looks in this studio scene (which is not necessarily indicative of how it will fare in real scenes with more DR, AF, etc.) than the G1X, RX100 and so on, especially at higher ISOs. The RAW files are a lot closer, but still...Panasonic is doing something right with its out of camera jpgs these days when it comes to NR.
buybuybuy: What an absurd presentation of images!
I would imagine that any reasonable person would look to such a gallery for information on how a particular camera performs. Yet, is this possible here (or for that matter, in any of your camera review galleries)?
ISO? F-stop? No way to select/sort...If I want to browse images at leisure, I'd visit Flickr. Here, however, I expect the presentation to better reflect its context--a review of a camera--a technical item--on a gear-oriented site. And, in this regard, it performs quite dismally.
note: translated from German by my assistant Carsten.
Did you try the slideshow option? It presents an easy way to browse images with the EXIF info overlay and an option to download the full res image. Saying nothing about the quality or artistic merit of the images, I can agree that the gallery used by DPReview is frustrating to use. The EXIF Info below cannot be seen (on my laptop) at the same time as the image without scrolling, and I can't go from image to image without repositioning my mouse. But the slideshow option improves things a lot, so try that if you haven't...
I'm impressed!
"you have to go to the $1600/£1200 Nocticron to find clicky apertures on an AF lens " - doesn't the 17mm Panny f/1.7 prime have this as well, for a much lower price?
I think you have touched on a very interesting point - and it is the difference between when one *might* do with a camera and how one actually uses it in practice. A lot of people purchase a dSLR with kit lens and never buy another lens. The LX100 is the kind of camera they should really buy - since they get the benefit of the much faster lens and the creative options that offers with a smaller size to boot.
Personally I find the LX100 to be an attractive option as a second body, as well. I own an EM-1 and recently purchased a GX1 as a small carry anywhere option. The reality is that I'll never take the GX1 with a 12-40mm or 50-200mm lens. As soon as I start taking more than one lens I have 'room' for my EM-1. So practically, a fixed lens on the LX100 would make no difference (other than having a faster lens!).
There is a reason these aren't made for Canon/Nikon, and conversely why they exist for Fuji/Samsung/MFT (natively) - Canon and Nikon support a larger sensor size. When you get into a telephoto lens, how many people want to spend $1600+ for less reach? And by going with a crop specific model you give up the option to use the lens on a full frame body later (with full coverage). Whether people upgrade not not I think most people think they will at some point. When I used to shoot with a 70-200mm F/4 Canon on APS-C it was a wonderful lens, and I don't recall wishing I had a bit more range on the wide end - that end has plenty of choices that overlap. But I frequently wanted more range on the telephoto end.
Now, with an MFT system I use a 50-200mm zoom - so in many ways I've gone the other way, taking advantage of the smaller system to get MORE reach in a similar size, rather than matching the reach on a full frame sensor in a smaller package.
Hmmm. Not impressed by this sequence if we are talking about state of the art PD-AF!

bcalkins: "the on-board FAST AF system"
I'm trying to imagine an AF system that isn't "on-board" :)
Well there you go, I knew about the T80 system, but the 35-70mm was before my time. I have to say it is a bit larger than I imagined :) It makes me think of other AF systems of the 80s, like the Trap Autofocus idea on the Yashica 230-AF!

You have to watch this hilarious take on the Lastolite Urban backgrounds:
from thecamerastore...
Royal1: kinda of a poorly exposed grainy picture. No wonder the Iwo Jima picture was more popular. It looks like one of those plastic Kodak lens pictures.
Don't judge a photo by its low res jpg ;)
JamesD28: I think far too many people are forgetting that this camera's aimed at beginners.
Yes, the sensor is tiny.
Yes, the viewfinder is under par in terms of resolution.
No, the pictures aren't going to be brilliant above ISO 400.
But are beginners really going to care about this?
If there is one thing I've learned from different size cameras, it is that there isn't a whole lot of difference going to a 'slightly' larger sensor. MFT to APS-C, 1" to MFT, 1/1.7" to 2/3", etc. All fine for sharing with family and friends on facebook and prints as long as you don't get into low light situations. And then, if you do, you need a fast lens, too - that adds up to a higher priced camera!
That said, the zoom range is definitely the draw for this camera...

Review by
Nathan from Abbotsford, BC, Canada
I'm powering these speakers off a Pioneer P4000DVD and they sound very good for under $100. I had to set the high pass filter at 80hz but that is pretty typical for running off a deck.
If you want bass, I would avoid these. You should have a sub or at least 6x9s in the back to complement these speakers.

Mike Huckabee said on his show recently that only about 40 million of the 80 million evangelical Christians in America are even registered to vote. Only about half of those actually vote in presidential elections and only half of them, about 10 million, vote in midterms like the important election coming up Nov. 4. His numbers seem pretty accurate according to various sources, yet nearly 80% of Americans say they're Christians.
As is often observed, if you don't vote, you can't complain. If Christians don't vote in this election and help turn this country back to our Founders' faith-based values we can't whine when the government steals more of our religious freedom like this:
- An administration and "Department of Justice" that sues a group of Catholic nuns called the Little Sisters of the Poor because they refuse to provide birth control and abortive drugs to employees. The Little Sisters were founded in 1839 and provide loving care to over 13,000 needy elderly in 31 countries, with 30 homes in the U.S. alone. They subsist entirely on donations; wouldn't that money be better spent on the poor than on a government lawsuit forcing them to violate their religious beliefs?
- The lesbian mayor of Houston directing city lawyers to subpoenas pastors' sermons and their private communications with parishioners because they oppose a new "equal rights" city ordinance that would allow gender-confused men to enter women's bathrooms and vice versa.
- The government threatening to court-martial soldiers who talk about their faith and military chaplains who pray "in the name of Jesus." Court martial could mean that soldiers who share the Gospel or even discuss their faith with their friends could face criminal punishment such as imprisonment or be dishonorably discharged.
- Fresh from their success in stifling liberty and Tea Party groups (where Christians predominate) prior to the 2012 election, the IRS and the militant atheist Freedom from Religion Foundation reached an agreement in July to monitor churches and other houses of worship for "electioneering." This is a twofer for the renegade IRS and the atheists: a violation of First Amendment freedom of speech plus freedom of religion. But "political" issues like same-sex marriage, abortion, sanctity of life, and even taxes are also biblical and religious issues. And should the IRS be telling us how to talk about these issues in our churches?
- Continued government persecution of Christians living their faith, like the Colorado cake baker prosecuted and fined for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a "gay" wedding, and the couple who runs Elane Photography ordered to pay $6,637 in fees because they refused to photograph a same-sex ceremony with which their religious faith disagrees. In the photography case, New Mexico Supreme Court justice Richard C. Bosson claimed that requiring the couple to relinquish their religious convictions was "the price of citizenship." And there are more examples, too.
- Schools that cave to threats of expensive lawsuits from atheist groups, and are intimidated into telling students not to mention God or Jesus in graduation speeches, banning Christian clubs from meeting after class, forbidding prayer before football games and other activities, and scrubbing every mention of the baby in the manger from "Winter Solstice" events.
Washington and the Founders had had enough of despotism; it's the reason they revolted against England. From the beginning, ours is the only nation in the world ever to declare in its founding documents that the fundamental rights of man come from God, not government or any king.
Anyone who doubts America's foundation as a Christian nation has only to read the Declaration of Independence, written by Jefferson who liberals actually claim as an unbeliever. The Declaration calls upon the Deity three times and at the end declares upon "a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence" another word used for God at the time.
I wonder if some Christians have a "conscientious objection" to voting because they see Jesus as more involved in the next world than this one. But Jesus said he came into the world to change it, and that required some aggressive worldly action such as taking a whip to the corruption of the money lenders in the temple. Jesus was a very political guy: he boldly confronted the "government" of his time, the Jewish religious leaders of the Sanhedrin ruling council. He engaged in civil disobedience and strongly criticized these rulers for ignoring the people and caring only about their self-interest. If he could have voted, he would have voted to throw the Sanhedrin out.
Many Christians may think there's no need to vote because the Lord is coming soon through the clouds to sweep us out of here and into his holy presence. But Christians have believed that ever since Jesus departed through those same clouds, over 2,000 years ago. Christ himself told us that "nobody knows the day or hours" but the guessing game continues.
Other Christians believe that since "God is control" we should stand passively by and let God work things out. But if the Christian founders of this nation would have believed that misinterpretation of scripture, they would never have revolted against England, the mightiest power of their time.
They did it in order to establish a new nation, one that would give its citizens unique privileges: freedom of religious belief, freedom of thought, freedom to worship, and freedom to speak out against rulers' oppression. All of these are under fire today. Keeping those freedoms means being "the light of the world" as Jesus instructed his believers; it means voting November 4.

Article: Near-equilibrium measurements of nonequilibrium free energy
David A. Sivak, Gavin E. Crooks. Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 150601 (2012)
Abstract: A central endeavor of thermodynamics is the measurement of free energy changes. Regrettably, although we can measure the free energy of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium, typically all we can say about the free energy of a non-equilibrium ensemble is that it is larger than that of the same system at equilibrium. Herein, we derive a formally exact expression for the probability distribution of a driven system, which involves path ensemble averages of the work over trajectories of the time-reversed system. From this we find a simple near-equilibrium approximation for the free energy in terms of an excess mean time-reversed work, which can be experimentally measured on real systems. With analysis and computer simulation, we demonstrate the accuracy of our approximations for several simple models.

Article: Nonequilibrium candidate Monte Carlo is an efficient tool for equilibrium simulation

This was a fun paper that originated in a chance, serendipitous conversation between myself, Jerome and John. We realized that several different Monte Carlo sampling techniques that we had each recently worked on could be unified under a common framework by taking inspiration from nonequilibrium thermodynamics. (I am also particularly satisfied with the joke. I firmly believe every scientific paper should contain one joke, lest we take ourselves too seriously. This one is great because it's hiding in plain sight.)
Abstract: Metropolis Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool for studying the equilibrium properties of matter. In complex condensed-phase systems, however, it is difficult to design Monte Carlo moves with high acceptance probabilities that also rapidly sample uncorrelated configurations. Continue reading

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Article: On thermodynamic and microscopic reversibility
Gavin E. Crooks, J. Stat. Mech. (2011) P07008
Abstract: The word 'reversible' has two (apparently) distinct applications in statistical thermodynamics. A thermodynamically reversible process indicates an experimental protocol for which the entropy change is zero, whereas the principle of microscopic reversibility asserts that the probability of any trajectory of a system through phase space equals that of the time reversed trajectory. However, these two terms are actually synonymous: a thermodynamically reversible process is microscopically reversible, and vice versa.
We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

Article: Measures of trajectory ensemble disparity in nonequilibrium statistical dynamics
Gavin E. Crooks and David A. Sivak, J. Stat. Mech.: Theor. Exp. P06003 (2011)
I've been meaning to look at the physical significance of f-divergences for some time. These are a class of information type measures that, thanks to the quirks of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, can actually be experimentally measured in real systems. I was finally inspired to write this up due to John Baez, who recently discussed the significance of Rényi entropy to equilbrium statistical mechanics.
Abstract: Many interesting divergence measures between conjugate ensembles of nonequilibrium trajectories can be experimentally determined from the work distribution of the process. Herein, we review the statistical and physical significance of several of these measures, in particular the relative entropy (dissipation), Jeffreys divergence (hysteresis), Jensen–Shannon divergence (time-asymmetry), Chernoff divergence (work cumulant generating function), and Rényi divergence.

Video : ABC Arts Online | Inside MONA's subversive Disneyland.
Who's this uploading stuff? Straight lines, buildings, can it be…
Heh – hello there Roget.

I just read an article about MONA and David Walsh, he sounds fascinating and the museum looks incredible, would love to visit. Seems that spider has eccentric taste too.
Yes – check out the vid Kits – it's pretty funny actually.
– sjem ©
I'm going down in April, and the more I hear about this place the more I MUST go!
You won't regret it Simon.

ooo, thanks! I'll be in Hobart in June….what WAS I thinking!
Excellent – be sure to share your (amazing) photos eh ?
– sjem ©
That's quite a big 'If' for 99.99% of the world.
Heh, yes – Tasmania is all about exclusive eccentricity.

Hmm, I like him.
never heading to hobart…
but nice to see u here posting good piccies mister sjem:)
