NEW YORK (AP) -- The first signing period under baseball's new draft restrictions ended with touted pitcher Mark Appel spurning Pittsburgh to remain at Stanford and with 10 teams exceeding their bonus pools but none by enough to forfeit future selections.
Appel was the only unsigned player among 31 first-round picks, turning down an offer of $3.8 million from the Pirates. Appel was projected by some to be the No. 1 selection last month, but some teams shied away from the right-hander because of the expected demands of his adviser, Scott Boras. Appel was selected eighth.
That slot was assigned $2.9 million from the drafting team's bonus pool in baseball's new labor contract, which imposes penalties on clubs that exceed their threshold -- the total of the slots for a team's selections in the first 10 rounds.

Tampa, Florida (CNN) -- Ann Romney will speak Tuesday evening at the Republican National Convention, a move designed to ensure a larger audience watches her prime time speech during the four day event that will culminate in her husband accepting the GOP nomination.
Ann Romney was originally scheduled to speak Monday -- headlining the first day of the convention and creating a bookend effect with her husband. But the broadcast networks decided not to carry the first night of the convention, forcing the Romney campaign to scramble and find another night to showcase Ann Romney.
One idea that was seriously considered was moving Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida from his prime speaking slot Thursday right where he would introduce Mitt Romney.
This shocked some of Rubio's supporters in this very important battleground state, and such a move could have created a headache for Romney with Latino voters.
"Sen. Rubio was incredibly gracious to offer his speaking slot to Mrs. Romney, and we thank him for his kind offer," Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades said in a statement. "However, he will remain the last speaker in primetime on Thursday night before Gov. Romney accepts the nomination. In many ways, Sen. Rubio represents the future of the Republican Party and we can think of no better person to introduce Gov. Romney on this important night."
Ann Romney will address the convention before New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who will remain as the convention's keynote speaker.
Rubio, a Cuban American, is well regarded by Florida Republicans, specifically Cubans in South Florida - who are considered a key constituency in Romney's bid to win Florida. Cuban Americans traditionally vote Republican and many view Rubio as a future presidential candidate himself.
Ann Romney is considered by many people to be one of her husband's strongest surrogates because she helps to soften up his image as a calculated businessman.
While the broadcast networks will not air the first evening of the convention, they do plan limited coverage of the remaining three days. CNN will run live primetime coverage all four days.

I would like to purchase one of the above cameras. I currently have a SLR Canon Rebel G and Canon Digital G3. They are both great cameras but I would like a digital camera I can use my canon lenses on. I have a basic understanding of the difference between the two cameras. I would like to ask any owners of the above cameras what you like about them and why I should choose that particular model. I would like some comparison info from people who have actually used the cameras. Many thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I own the XT, but I have played with the XTi XTi -10mp allow for more cropping -Menu selection set up is better It believe it had more focusing areas but I dont remember exactly. There is a whole lot more noise on the XTi since they crammed an extra 2MP on that sensor. That was definately a step back from their reputation of having the best ISO handling -even though it is due to internal NR vs the idea of a better sensor. The ergonomics are pretty identical. Canon addressed the 'dust' issue and added some sort of dust buster. I never tested how well it worked but others that have the camera say it does not work as well as the marketing will have you believe. I see the attempt to make a dust cleaner a step in the right direction though. Maybe the next model will work better. Sony put a dust buster on there Alpha model but I dont know how well it works either. I played with a Nikon D80 and thought it was much better than the XTi. I really saw no clear advantage of the XTi over the XT that made me comfortable with spending $200-$300 more for the camera. I say get XT and wait for a better upgrade. If $$ is not that big of and issue go BIG, look into the 5D. Now that a camera! Joe |

Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement
What is RAIM?
The Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement (RAIM) is an international collective of revolutionary communist organizers, activists, artists, and technical workers based mainly in the imperialist countries.
Our aim is to build public opinion internationally in support of Maoism (Third Worldism) and People's War, and to build and defend oppositional political cultures and independent institutions of the oppressed within "the belly of the beast" as part of world revolution. We want the complete dismantling of imperialism and the victory of the proletariat in revolution. Ultimately, we want communism — the end of all oppression and exploitation.
Where we differ from many other communist organizations is in our analysis of global class relations. We understand that a majority of people in the core imperialist countries are embourgeoisfied, receiving surplus value extracted from workers around the world, and having a mode of life that alienates them from the proletariat. We understand that this means most people in imperialist countries have a strong community of interests with imperialism. We thus hold that any communist organizing in the imperialist core must be based on a concrete assessment of who our real enemies and friends are and how class dynamics have been shaped by imperialist parasitism. Additionally, we support national liberation of oppressed nations in tandem with a global dictatorship of the proletariat of oppressed nations as a means of dismantling imperialism. We also support the complete liquidation of settler states like the United States and Canada through the national liberation of internal colonies.
What We Want
1. We want Communism
A. We want to end class oppression
B. We want to end national oppression
C. We want to end gender oppression
2. We want Socialism
A. A dictatorship of the proletariat is necessary. This means in Socialism, the proletariat is in command and humyn needs take precedence over profit.
B. Revolution must continue during Socialism, both in the economic base of society and in the realm of culture and ideas. A new bourgeoisie must be prevented from seizing power.
3. We want Global New Democracy
A. Globally, a joint dictatorship of the proletariat of oppressed nations, overseeing reparations from the imperialist core to the oppressed nations
B. Within the oppressed nations, the proletariat and its class allies dismantle neocolonialism
4. We want Global People's War
A. "Two, Three, Many Vietnams." Surround the global city from the global countryside. Cut off the flow of surplus value, drain the empire.
B. Within the oppressed nations, Protracted People's War
5. We want Partisans behind enemy lines
A. We want to break the social peace within imperialist core countries, while uniting all who can be united against the imperialist state
B. We want to build global public opinion in support of Communism, Socialism, Global New Democracy, and Global People's War
C. We want to build and defend independent institutions of the oppressed, which generate both the material capacity for class struggle and the oppositional culture necessary for public opinion building.
What We Do
Practically, RAIM exists as a collection of cells. These cells can be divided into two categories: media-based cells and on-the-ground cells. Media cells are, as the name implies, primarily involved in media projects. On-the-ground cells are involved in building public opinion in support of Maoism (Third Worldism) through practical work and agitation, working toward building independent institutions of the oppressed which challenge the material and cultural hegemony of the bourgeoisie, and building coalitions with other like-minded groups and individuals with worked-out line differences.
RAIM cells are somewhat independent and are responsible for making decisions for themselves without needing to wait for orders from a central command. All RAIM cells are, however, united around RAIM's cardinal principles.
Join RAIM
There are a million reasons to oppose capitalist-imperialism but only one solution: revolution. But revolutions do not just happen spontaneously. They require the dedicated efforts of an advanced element representing the proletariat. RAIM exists to push forward the subjective forces of global new democracy, socialism, and communism. Yet what we are doing so far is only the beginning. And we need your help.

Ok so you might think this a joke, BUT so did I until I tried it out and showed it to the world. -
★ Getting Close With the Ringflash (LC-A+)
After buying my close-up lens for my LC-A+, i was a bit disappointed because it would not fit in my Ringflash. I found this odd seeing as the phrase "Get as close as possible" is written directly on the Ringflash. I figured that it would be cool to "get as close as possible" and still have clear focused photos. So I did a bit of remodeling.

on September 15, 2009You would be forgiven, after looking at Fashion Week's menswear offerings here in New York, for thinking that most designers in this town had given up on anyone over the age of twenty ever being interested in clothes again. Such has been the volume of hoodies and skimpy, flimsy shorts on the runways.
But last night, Michael Bastian put forward another opinion. And it was highly refreshing. Bastian's collections have always been about a luxury take on American sportswear for his devotees, dressing down is every bit as thought-out as dressing up. And his training (as the men's buying director at Bergdorf Goodman) makes him well-versed in simple separates that you can throw together any which way with barely a thought.
What holds it all together (apart from always reliable quality and materials) is the perfectly-cut, slim-fit summer blazer, which we saw yesterday in a myriad of cloths and colors, thrown this way or that over swim shorts, cut-off chinos, or even (really?) a hoodie. To nail home the luxurious, grown-up mood, Bastian teamed up with legendary Swiss watchmaker Piaget to deck out several of his spring-collection models in watches worthy of the toniest plutocrat. Hard-times chic? Hardly.

Black man attacked without provocation by two strangers.
An African-American man was attacked Saturday night when two men approached him on Benida Lane in Canyon Country and started shouting at him.
The victim was sitting in his 1981 Ford Mustang with a woman when two men walked up to the vehicle and began to yell.
"The first suspect came over and said some black guy had disrespected him when he was with his mother a while ago," explained Lt. Brenda Cambra of the Santa Clarita sheriff's station. "The victim had never had any contact with the man before and didn't know him."
Cambra said that the victim got out of his car and a second suspect hit the man in the face, bloodying his lip. As the victim ran from the vehicle, the two suspects chased him. The victim flagged down a passerby and asked them to call 911.
While the chase was underway, the female passenger got out of the car and two more suspects got out of the suspect's vehicle with a baseball bat and hammer. They smashed all six windows and three quarter-panels of the victim's car, causing at least $2,000 damage.
Deputies arrived and caught one suspect, Cameron Campbell, 21, a male Hispanic. Cambra said the other three suspects are still at large. Their vehicle is described as a red SUV, possibly a Ford Expedition. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's department at 255-1121.
Campbell is being held at the Santa Clarita station in lieu of $30,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in Santa Clarita Superior Court on Tuesday.

text: 3 3 starsPosted: 06/06/2010So, I just finished the book about 10 minutes ago. My general feeling of the book was... a mixture of disappointment and confusion. The previous book in this series, Nightfall was a confusing mixture of words and was so hard to follow at times that I had to re-read the page I was on several times! Although this book was much more "put together" it was still quite challenging at times and very frustrating! I enjoyed the Elena Damon interaction, and I know at some point she will have to choose the brother she likes more (Did she officially choose?), and I think Damon has a lot more character and feeling than Stefan.Also, did anyone think the ending was rushed and confusing? I totally was like: "What is going on right now?" at least 3 times during the last few pages. And the last part where Damon was human? Come on, really? The ending was terrible, the beginning boring and the middle somewhat interesting.The books story line had great potential, but I think it definitely did not live up to it's full potential

Osprey Meadows Golf Course
On Hole No. 2 there is a neat series of ponds and waterfalls through which 1,000 gallons of water per minute will flow. The mini-creek is about 250 feet long, and it will feature 500 vertical feet of drop for the waterfall effect. The RTJ II course has multiple water features, including large ponds, creeks and wetlands.
Practice Facility
The practice facility is perched high above a large bowl-shaped basin, adjacent to Hole No. 3. This will be a fun place to practice because it always seems like you can hit a golf ball a mile from a tee located on a high perch. The distance of the practice range is 350 yards – plenty of room for all hitters.
Future Development
A second 18-hole course is planned for future development. Course architect has yet to be selected.
Fun Facts
More than 2,000 sprinkler heads were installed throughout the course. The water comes from two wells, which can pump 2,400 gallons per minute at 125 psi. The course has more than 100 bunkers for 18 holes. Break out the piña coladas and get ready for the beach!

Full-frame cameras are trending lately but Sony took the photographic world by surprise when they introduced the RX1--the first compact camera with a full-frame sensor. The camera's $2800 price tag may be out of reach for many people but even so, it's not so easy to dismiss the RX1 either for price or its fixed 35mm lens.
While the initial excitement surrounding the 24 megapixel RX1's launch was based mostly on the fact that its compact body is built around a full-frame sensor, enthusiasm and respect, for this camera doesn't stop there. Once you start shooting with the camera, you understand that beyond the sensor size, the RX1 is special from its solid build and design to the camera's consistently amazing image quality.
Given its specifications, quality build and especially price, the RX1 isn't for everyone. Keep in mind that there are a number of extras you'll want to have (including an EVF) that will bump the price up by hundreds of dollars. But this is, in many ways, a true photographer's camera with its manual aperture ring and fixed lens. That may sound obvious, but not everyone will be excited about some of the RX1's attributes. Although it costs more than some higher end DSLRs, the RX1 makes a great second camera for pros and semi-pros and will probably appeal to photographers who want excellent quality in a convenient, compact body.
Build and Design
Pick up the RX1 and there's no doubt that this camera was built with quality in mind. Its tank-like magnesium alloy body just feels right in the hand and, although it's not weatherproof (which would have been nice), you get the feeling that it can withstand heavy use. Even the lens cap is offers the same premium feel.
On the other hand, it's so beautifully designed --and is so expensive--that I often found myself treating it unnecessarily with kid gloves. On the other hand, I don't know that I'd spring for Sony's $250 leather case to protect it; the RX1 is a nice looking camera and you may want to show it off.
Adding to the sense of the RX1's superior build is the camera's heft. It's heavier than I imagined, weighing a little over a pound but is impressively compact at 4 1/2 x 2 5/8 x 2 3/4 inches. No, it's not quite pocketable--and would you really want to carry a $2800 camera in your pocket?--but the RX1 is small enough to bring with you wherever you go.
Ergonomics and Controls
Overall, the RX1 is expertly designed and comfortable to hold and use. A textured/rubberized surface wraps around the right side of the camera and helps when holding the camera. There's no real contour or grip and while that might bother some people I have no problems with the current design although slightly deeper thumb rest on the rear of the camera would be welcome. An optional, albeit expensive ($250) thumb grip is available. But, besides costing a bundle, it attaches via the camera's one-accessory-at-a-time multi-interface hotshoe, so you won't be able to utilize any other optional accessories when it's in use and you'll have to flip it out of the way to access the playback button.
The control layout is, with only a couple of exceptions, well thought out and provides a good level of customization with more options than many DSLRs. Starting on the front panel, slightly below and to the left of the lens, is (much like my Nikon D3s) a focus mode switch. A flip of the switch changes focus from MF (manual focus), DMF (autofocus with manual fine tuning) or AF (autofocus). An aperture ring, manual focus ring and macro switching ring are part of the lens design, which I'll discuss in more detail later in this review.
Along the top deck, the shutter button, surrounded by the power on/off switch, is perfectly positioned to be within easy reach of your forefinger. A bonus for those of us who still have a cable release from our 35mm camera days, the interior of the RX1's shutter button is threaded so you can easily set the camera on a tripod and fire away without touching the camera.
To the left of the shutter release is a fairly standard mode dial: auto, program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, manual, three user-custom modes, movie, sweep panorama and scene. Behind and to the right is a good-sized exposure compensation dial and while it's very stiff and a little difficult to turn with your thumb, it's convenient and there's no chance of accidentally changing EV settings.
A tiny custom ("C") button sits just forward of the EV dial. It's fairly low profile, but is raised just enough that you can easily find by touch. One of more than two-dozen functions can be assigned to this control ranging from drive mode, autofocus area, picture effect, white balance and metering mode.
A multi-interface/hotshoe is located in the center of the top deck. Fortunately, the interface is no longer proprietary and will now accept ISO standard accessories, along with Sony's long list of accessories such as optical and electronic viewfinders, a lens hood (Seriously? For $2800 Sony couldn't include a lens hood?), external flash, micro-to-HDMI cables and a shotgun microphone. The battery is charged in-camera, which makes it difficult to charge a spare while you're out shooting. But a wall charger is available for about $50. There's also an optional adapter for auto-lock shoe compatible accessories.
On the top left deck, you'll find the pop-up flash. But most of the action happens on the rear panel, with a control dial, AEL, menu and function buttons, and a control wheel/4-way controller combo with a center set button, sitting to the right of the camera's fixed LCD. In addition to the custom button on the top deck, the AEL and 4-way controller can be customized as well. In fact, the AEL button and the left, right, and down arrow directions on the 4-way controller (the "up" button controls display options, including focus peaking) offer the same custom options as the "C" button, so you can fine-tune the RX1 to suit your shooting style. The function button calls up an on-screen display for changing the camera?s most often used settings.
Perhaps my biggest complaint about the control layout is the position, size and low profile of the "red" movie button. This tiny button is on the curved edge of the camera's right side and falls just under the hand when holding the camera so it's not terribly easy to access with your thumb or forefinger. And while its low profile (it's pretty much flush to the camera body) helps prevent accidental activation, I had to visually locate the button each time I wanted to start/stop video capture so the beginning and end of videos sometimes showed a little camera movement.
Menus and Modes
Not surprisingly, Sony looked to the A99 for its menu systems. As much as I love the company's NEX cameras, the NEX user interface is frustrating to use and the RX1's menus are more in line with a pro-/semi-pro level camera.
Fortunately, between the trio of user customizable shooting modes on the main mode dial, the 5 customized buttons, the on-screen function menu and the camera's Quick Navi system, you'll rarely have to go into the main internal menu once you have your custom options in place. But, when you do press the menu button, you'll find a logical, easy-to-navigate set of pages with a long list of options. These include the basic still shooting settings such as image size and quality, along with more specialized functions including the size and direction of panorama images, noise reduction settings, the ability to save (or not save) individual settings and much more.
Multiple on-screen display options are available and are generally easy to navigate. Press the function button for an on-screen display of parameters of ISO, metering mode, flash compensation, white balance, DRO (dynamic range optimization) and more. Then use the control wheel/four way controller to change any of those settings.
The other option is the Quick Navi display mode, which provides a slightly different graphical interface and more parameters than the function button on-screen menu. The choice of on-screen menus is, in part, dependent on whether or not you're using the optional EVF (electronic viewfinder) since the function menu utilizes Live View (the menu icons appear over the image), while the Quick Navi does not. Either way, they're both relatively efficient when changing settings on the fly.
In addition to the standard PASM, automatic and scene modes, the RX1 offers a number of different style and effects options. Within the camera's Creative Styles you'll find more than a dozen options ranging from standard, neutral, vivid, autumn leaves, black and white, sepia and portrait settings, each with saturation, contrast and sharpness adjustments. Since I generally shoot RAW + JPEG, I tend to use the neutral or standard settings for the best results but that's just a personal preference. Experiment to see what fits with your personal preferences and shooting conditions.
Picture Effects range from soft focus and two monochrome options to toy camera, pop color and partial color. There's an
Manual focus assist and focus peaking, which I'll address in the lens section, are available, as is Sony's easy-to-use and effective sweep panorama mode. Bracketing, face priority tracking and registration, focus peaking, lens compensation modes are among the camera's long list of features. It's a well-rounded feature set with few surprises but should easily meet the needs of most photographers.
Display and Viewfinder
Out of the box, the RX1 has no viewfinder and unless you purchase an optical OVF (optical viewfinder) or EVF (electronic viewfinder), you're dependent on the camera's 3-inch, high resolution (1.2 million dot), fixed position LCD. Although it offers auto and 5-step manual brightness control adjustments, along with a "Sunny Weather" mode, the LCD was often difficult to use outdoors for anything other than reading the menu or general composition. A vari-angle or even a tiltable screen is always a welcome feature for a number of reasons, including tilting it to get a better view in bright conditions. It works well under low light conditions, though. And the digital level gauge, although only single axis, helps keep horizons and straight edges aligned.
If you're a DSLR user and find it frustrating to use the LCD for composing or do a lot of shooting outdoors, you should budget for the optional EVF. This high resolution (2.3 million dots) XGA OLED Tru-Finder is bright, clear and offers an almost 100% view. It's comfortable to use, shows all the same information as most display screen options and can be adjusted up to 90-degrees, for flexible shooting angles. At $450, this convenience doesn't come cheap, though. And the optical viewfinder is even more expensive at $600 with its Carl Zeiss optics.
Frankly, if I were to choose one accessory for the RX1, it would be the EVF. In addition to the practical benefits, this camera, with its manual aperture ring (and, to a lesser extent, focusing ring), just feels more natural when using the EVF.
Shooting Performance
The RX1's performance is, in many ways, a mixed bag. Generally, the camera is pretty speedy with little shutter lag and short shot-to-shot times. Continuous shooting speeds are good at 5 frames per second (with focus locked) but it drops to 2fps when using autofocus. Still that's a lot of data to be pushing through the camera and the RX1 does a good job.
On the other hand, this is not really a sports or action camera since the autofocus doesn't keep up as well as I had hoped. Although it's responsive in good light, it's a little sluggish under darker conditions. But the camera did a pretty good job when capturing images in a darkened aquarium. Interestingly, though, continuous autofocus is only available in video mode--not when shooting stills.
Lens Performance
Shooting with a fixed lens camera is generally a love it or hate it proposition. But, if you cut your photographic teeth with a 35mm camera and a small budget, it's likely you started out with a prime 50/55mm lens. At 35mm, the RX1's Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* lens is a little wider but, like much of this camera, calls upon the user to approach subjects more closely and "zoom with your feet." Yes, it's a bit cliched by this time, but I think we've all become too dependent on zoom lenses.
At f/2.0-f/22, the lens provides a broad aperture range for low light shooting, good bokeh and, at f/22, great depth of field. Overall, the lens delivers on its Carl Zeiss name and delivers crisp, well-detailed images. A little distortion is not unexpected and there is some vignetting at the farthest stopped down settings but those are minor drawbacks in comparison to its outstanding quality.
I especially loved the manual aperture ring. It feels photographically natural (at least to me) and turns with just the right amount of tension to lock in an aperture without struggle. Funny, though, I was out shooting with a friend and although he had read all about the camera and knew about the aperture ring, his first question was, "How do I change the aperture?" I think we've all become so used to changing the aperture with on-camera controls that it's probably a fairly common mistake.
The lens also comes with a macro switch, which works okay--once you remember it's there. Less pleasing, though, is the manual focusing ring which just doesn't respond as quickly as a 35mm lens. Magnification of the image and focus peaking does help with manual focus, and are important features, but I found the whole experience frustrating. Autofocus, as you'll see in the next section, had its own issues, as well.
Video Quality
The Sony RX1 offers a good range of video options including full HD (1920 x 1080) at 60p/60i as well as space saving lower resolution settings.
Video quality is good--not exceptional, but good with clear footage and surprisingly clear audio (depending on the situation). If you plan to shoot a lot of video, be sure to get an external microphone for the best quality sound. Manual exposure is available but I found that, when outdoors, footage looked too dark on the LCD and it was easy to overcompensate based on that alone. The RX1 generally did a good job exposing video footage on its own.
Although continuous autofocus is available in video, it was difficult to keep up with a cyclist doing jumps. On the other hand, autofocus generally kept up with a slowly moving jellyfish.
Shooting video with the RX1 is much less exciting than capturing stills with the camera for any serious movie work. But it's more than sufficient for more casual movie capture.
Image Quality
If there's one thing that stands out above the rest of the RX1's many attributes, its image quality. In a word: stunning. Colors are rendered beautifully (again, I prefer natural or standard Creative Style settings) and exposures were generally well-balanced. I did notice a very slight tendency to overexpose highlights but that's easily adjusted. Shadows retained good detail with and without DRO enabled. And, thanks to the gorgeous lens, resolution is superb. Images are sharp and well-detailed.
Other than slightly sluggish AF in low light, the RX1's image quality holds up under some tough conditions like a darkened aquarium. As mentioned earlier, the f/2.0 lens and image stabilization help deliver hand-holdable shutter speeds, but when that's not enough (or want to stop down the lens) working through the ISO range of 50-25600 can also deliver great results. Personally, I prefer shooting RAW + JPEG, especially at high ISOs but I found that even when hard-pressed, the RX1 handles noise quite well in JPEGs. I'd try to stay away from anything above ISO 6400 whenever possible but images shot at under 6400 looked pretty good, especially at lower light sensitivities. Below are three examples of high ISO sensitivities.
Additional Sample Images
All technical and pricing issues aside, one of the things I love about the RX1 is that, in this digital world, it brings me back to thinking before I shoot, much like the Leica M9 does. Sure, there are faster and more clever digital cameras than the RX1 but I love being able to physically adjust the aperture with the lens ring rather than in a menu or small dial.
Other than slight issues with autofocus, the lens is superb. And the fixed lens again brings back memories of working the angles of a shot and getting physically closer to subjects when necessary. Sure, you can do that with a prime lens on a DSLR, but somehow the camera's 35mm lens almost forces you to slow down and consider what you're doing.
Obviously the RX1's image quality is the unequivocal star and rightly so. While techies (including me) are impressed that Sony fit a full-frame sensor in such a small body, the image is what photography is all about.
The bottom line for many of us, of course, will be the price. Obviously, pros, semi-pros and enthusiasts with a passion for photography are more likely to dig deep in their pockets for the RX1 than those with a lesser interest in image making. And while there's no lack of advanced compact cameras, the RX1 definitely stands out in this ever-growing category. Even if you don't have (or aren't willing to shell out) $2800 for this camera, stop by a local camera store and put it in your hands. That may not change your mind but you'll have a better understanding about why the RX1 will likely have photographers reaching for their checkbooks and credit cards.

I'm going to need help this week with my Love. Where did you get the freezer schematics?
Im getting a new fridge this weekend and will be wiring mine up as well. My old fridge conked out on me
Thanks. I'll post up a schematic when I get it.
OK, sorry it took so long to get my pictures I promised up, but here they are for anyone that was wondering. Here is my simple install of a Love Temperature Controller. I am unsure of the model right now, but will check next time (I forgot and can't find the paperwork to not have to unhook everything again). Alright, then I flipped it over and opened it up laying down the board side. Now for the guts. This is all the wiring tools I had at the time and everything is very secure. Works like a dream and I made it with a thick commercial extension cord. I will edit this post later with wiring numbers, I just had to do this fast to answer a PM, .
In 2008 Love changed the back of the controller. The wiring diagram for the pre-2008 is different than the latest generation. I initially had some issues wiring mine up before I realized the problem. Linc

Cool, so how are the new ones different. I am about to buy another. I "love" this thing... ba dum ching. I really like how small they are compared to the Ranco or Johnson Controls. Makes for a really clean looking install in a fridge/freezer/other.
here's the wiring diagram for pre-2008 and here it is for 2008+
I don't understand what that "splice" indication is for in the 2nd picture. There is no ground connection for either version of the controller?
Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs. -Lily Tomlin
In order to better understand this diagram, you should read from the original site:Love TS-13010 Temperature Switch - New Wiring (2008+) He is simply splicing the Love Control in-line with an extension cord so that he does not modify the freezer circuitry or wiring at all. This cuts power to the freezer until the temperature rises above the set-point. In this diagram, pin 7 is spliced to the neutral and the ground is spliced back to itself (because he is cutting an extension cord in half). If you want to just cut the compressor because you want the power indicator light or the interior light to operate, you need to bypass the thermostat only like in the diagram that IrregularPulse posted (but with #7 going to neutral and not ground).

In the Maisy series, she has a friend named Tallulah.

I dunno, I think it is rather pretty. Though, I would prefer the Emelina spelling.

O.M.G. Someone on the MTV site wanted to name her daughter "Emmalena catarina bernadette" (sic). That is the most ridiculous name I've ever heard.
- April 12, 2010 at 1:20 PM
I suppose I can see the appeal in Ainsley, but it definitely has teasing potential. Anneslie is cute, but I prefer the Germanic, Annelie.
Penelope Thistle is just darling! I have always had a soft spot for the saintly Casilda and Bessica is definitely interesting, (to say the least). I am rather excited to see Petal on nymbler.
Julian is a nice solid classic, but Fuego is definitely not for me. It sounds like a product of sorts.
Imojune is definitely intriguing, especially if you pronounce it (im-oh-JOON). But I have a feeling that this particular ancestor's parents may have been using phonetic spelling. I believe in more archaic English dialects, a long U sound didn't really exist. A large percentage of the country was not necessarily literate either. The parents probably heard Imogen (IM-o-jun) hence Imojune.
- April 11, 2010 at 8:35 PM
I love Imojune for two reasons. First, it gives me the same unique vibe that Isabeau vs. the more popular Isabelle gives me. And that "june" ending reminds me of the Persian "joon" added to the end of a person's names to signify "dear" (Imo dear:-)
- April 11, 2010 at 8:05 PM
I'm still convinced that our English-speaking cohort in England and Aus, as well as the rest of the international pool of nameberry visitors, are affecting some of the stats – by their own blog post, nameberry has many visitors from around the world. I find it interesting that two of the names I'm particularly interested in (my kids' names, Imogen and Oliver) are at about the same rank on nameberry's 100 as where they are on the England/UK stat list, for example.
And Imojune? I kinda really like that!
Fuego is pretty ballsy. And I do like it… in the middle. I like its macho-ness next to the softer Julian.
And on Nymbler – I like Petal – it's sweet, but I worry she'd be Pet for short… but in the middle spot – purely lovely.

Re: baby name regret
I grew up with an Alyssa whose parents had named her Allison, but legally changed it when she was a year old. I'm fairly sure that the reason was that they hadn't realized how popular the name Allison was until they named their baby. Alyssa was similar but far less common.

I notice that Dual Quaternion skinning follows a non-commutative weighted sum, not lerp nor slerp.
However on animation blending, is it possible to nlerp Dual Quaternions commutativly?
There is alot of things to keep track of here. Because there are many quaternion operations going around, and doing them correct seems important.
1. Inside the Animation Track, Slerp between two quaternion keys seems OK. Outputs a Quaternion, possibly convert to Dual Quaterion.
2. Outside when blending animations, One Quaternion/Dual Quaterion from each track must be blended, either nlerp, or Slerp, or weighted multiplied or weighted summed. Which one is right?
3. How are the blended animations applied to the T-Pose bone, nlerp, Slerp, multiplication, summation?
4. When combining Dual Quaternion Bones to a Full skeleton, nlerp, Slerp, multiplication, summation?
5. On the GPU, Dual Quaternion Skinning, in which I see papers use non-commutative weighted sum.
There are many, many possiblities.
To me it looks like:
1. Slerp keys inside a track. Output a quaternion.
2. nlerp all quaternions. q = nlerp(q1, nlerp(q2, nlerp(q3, q4))) //any order is ok because nlerp is commutative. notice q does not have translation properties
3. qfinal = q* qT-pose. //T-Pose Bone is a Dual quaternion, but q is a quaternion, perhaps possible to overload operator
4. for each combine(qfinal, qparent);
5. qskinning = q1w1 + ..... + qnwn;
If the animation track also has translation then that must be implemented somehow, perhaps with Dual Quaternions from the track. But then which procedure to use?
