Mark II of 135L??
Why paint the Peacock?
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/about_canon/newsroom?pageKeyCode=pressreldetail&docId=0901e024806daf9cThanks for the link. It looks it will be a dark (=not AF illumination in SERVO) update
A couple from around Australia's Northern Territory:Lovely pictures dave. What did you shoot them with?
Is there a site that scientifically tests and ranks filters? I would enjoy such a site. Certainly the anecdotal reviews we get from people trying to justify their spending are unlikely to be reliable.
The old sensor tech in Canon is not up to date 2012 and in a comparison with Sony, not much to discuss
I like the new design of the lenses too. Very clean and simple looking.
Picking this thing up in the morning, we'll see if these results are indeed accurate.
I don't believe these findings at all...
One... claiming the 24 TS/e is the sharpest lens canon has created....
two... they forget that canon made a 28-70mm 2.8 that consistently beat the 24-70I in all tests...but neglected to track down a copy and compare.
I think this is promo-hype to try and sell an overpriced piece of glass.
$1800 sure...
but 2300 is obscene.
Pretty decent review, mostly because it agreed with my opinion.
:-) ... his videos have a very subjective, amateurish approach - see also his reviews of the Tamron 24-70. While this is fine if you want to p&s, it lacks tech knowledge (the fact alone that he expects 70mm to be the same on every lens).
In this case: The new Canon mk2 uses more doublecross af points on the 5d3/1dx, so it being as fast as the mk1 is a good sign since more precision usually means less speed. And a more detailed test might show that the mk2 has a higher af hit rate on Canon newest systems.

Wanderers close to signings
12 Jun 2008 - 12:28:14
Wycombe Wanderers manager Peter Taylor has revealed he hopes to secure three signings in the coming days.
The newly-installed Chairboys boss has set his sights on luring a new striker, central midfielder and winger to Adams Park.
"I'm confident I can get the people I am after before I go on holiday," he told the Bucks Free Press.
Meanwhile, Taylor has told Peterborough United that they will only accept cash and not a player exchange deal for defender Russell Martin.
"They showed me a list of their players and I said we wanted money for Russell Martin," revealed Taylor.

Wednesday's Health Winners & Losers
Updated from 2:50 p.m. EDT
Biotech and other health care stocks edged lower Wednesday on a precipitous drop from Dendreon (DNDN) and a host of poor earnings.
Dendreon, the biopharmaceutical company that saw shares soar to more than $25 early last month, experienced a dramatic fall after the company announced that the Food and Drug Administration had asked for additional clinical data on its therapeutic cancer treatment Provenge before granting approval. Shares plummeted $11.41, or 64.3%, to $6.33.
Greater-than-expected losses sank Inspire Pharmaceuticals (ISPH). The company reported a net first-quarter loss of $26.1 million, or 62 cents a share. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had expected a net loss of 55 cents a share. Quarter over quarter, losses increased from $14.0 million, or 33 cents a share, from last year. Shares fell 72 cents, or 9.9%, to $6.52.
Progenics Pharmaceuticals (PGNX - Get Report) also reported a wider-than-expected first-quarter loss of $10.4 million, or 40 cents a share. In the year-ago quarter, the company reported a loss of $2.6 million, or 10 cents a share. The Thomson Financial consensus target was a loss of 14 cents a share. Progenics says its increase in expenses was mostly due to a $12.6 million increase in research and development costs incurred in its collaboration with Wyeth (WYE), preparation for clinical trials for its other products, and an increase in personnel. Progenics shares fell 79 cents, or 3.3%, to $23.14. Osteotech (OSTE) reported a net first-quarter loss of $600,000, or 4 cents a share, including $1.1 million in costs associated with the settlement of certain litigation and related legal fees. Excluding those fees, adjusted non-GAAP net income was $400,000, or 2 cents a share. Net income for the same period in the previous year was $500,000, or 3 cents a share. Shares declined 35 cents, or 4.6%, to $7.24.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Tested mine after 5 days and it had dropped from 1.051 to 1.021 - so I will check again in another 5 days and see. The sulfur is gone. Sample tasted like mostly dry, flat beer - as one would expect. Fermentation is anything but vigorous.
I just brewed my first batch last night and came home after work today to a furious sulfur smell!!! Glad others were having this issue when I jumped to the end of the thread! Stinking up my whole basement right now.
I have made this batch 4-5 times and never had this sulfer smell that everyone seems to be talking about. I wonder if wyeast is having trouble with this strain of yeast.
Good lord I just kegged mine after 12 days in ferm. It tastes like sulfury ass. I sure hope it clears. I followed the recipe to a "t" and even had it in my ferm chamber at 68-70........ so I guess we will see
I emailed wyeast a couple of days ago about the problem. Haven't heard anything back from them though.
This is what I was able to get for this recipe : Weyermann Pale Wheat Malt Weyermann Pilsner Malt want to make sure these are the correct ones thanks !
Yea, those are both fine

Any size space can be made to feel cozy. In this spacious room with high ceilings, several design elements visually lower the ceiling, making the room feel more intimate: a wall of warmly lit art pieces, suspended track lighting and window valences. Another way to deal with a large space is to create a second conversation area, like the one near the window.
Fabrics and textures really warm up a room. These long drapery panels add softness and insulation from the tall windows. The area rug and velvet throw pillows provide additional layers of comfort.
Clever lighting adds coziness to this living room. The rock wall is a textural backdrop for candle light and an illuminated floor lamp. The fireplace adds visual and tactile warmth, and accent lights direct your attention to an interesting art piece.
These rows of books and art reveal the personality of the homeowner, adding familiarity and coziness. Furniture is grouped together to encourage friendly conversation.
The color palette of this room is rich and sophisticated. The reddish brown in the wood paneled fireplace, draperies and area rug warms up the purple gray.
In this contemporary open plan home, a cozy living area is defined by the furniture arrangement and the area rug. The chocolate brown walls make the space feel even cozier.
You might not think of blue gray as a cozy color, but here it is balanced with soft coral and yellow accents. It works in this room with historical details: dramatic moldings, wonderfully textured ceiling tiles, and an arched ornamental fireplace. Natural light and a greenery view come through the tall windows and are reflected in the mirror.
Step down into this warmly lit living room enclosed by low wood partitions and a creamy textured stone wall. Have a seat on the brown suede sofa and put your feet up. Now, isn't this cozy?

Apollo Nida: 'I Despise Everything About' Wife Phaedra Parks
Originally posted 11/23/2014 10:25PM
Just when you thought things couldn't get any uglier between Phaedra Parks and husband Apollo Nida, the relationship went from bad to worse on Sunday's The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
"Phaedra is very calculated," said Nida, who is currently serving eight years in prison for bank fraud. "I despise everything about her, but I still love her."
Nida secretly met with an attorney to discuss divorcing Parks – before she could divorce him while he was in jail.
"I don't have anything," Nida told the laywer. "The government's taken everything."

There's a new housewife in Hotlanta – and one Southern belle is missing from the lineup.
Porsha Williams will only have a "recurring role" in the new season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, Bravo announced Wednesday.
Williams infamously fought with frenemy Kenya Moore during the spring taping of the reunion special, and their brawl landed her in jail on a battery charge.
Now, the network says, the ex-wife of football player Kordell Stewart is "enjoying a fresh chapter in her life" as a single woman and entertainment correspondent on Dish Nation.

"You had a bullhorn in her face," Leakes said to Moore about the brawl. "You are not innocent."

"We anticipate that she will post a bond and be released shortly thereafter," Joe S. Habachy says in a statement. "She is charged with one misdemeanor count of simple battery. … Cast member Kenya Moore sought out the warrant and, although the claim is unfounded, Ms. Williams is fully cooperating with investigators and looks forward to clearing her name."

More examples of Obama's fascist tendencies. Donate to dems you get to stay in business, donate to pubbies or don't donate to dems...you are out of business: Blog by some intrepid right wingers, taken from public records of campaign donations. : RED ALERT: Did anti-Obama campaign contributions dictate which Chrysler dealers were shuttered? Wonder why the MSM isn't looking into this. If you are a GM dealer better start writing thos checks out to the DNC....otherwise you will lose your business.
from another update: Dealergate: Were Four Democrat-friendly Dealer Groups Rewarded by the Obama Administration? Fascist change we can (better or else?) believe in.
good thing I live in libbie land.........I think I will lay low, and say libbie kinds of things as long as someone is doing handouts
DEBUNKED WTF Moment: Obama Closing only GOP Chrysler Dealerships? • videosift.com its getting easier and easier to sift through the sands of paranoia.
its factually incorrect. 85-91% of ALL auto dealers contribute to republicans. it would stand to reason that 85-91% of the closings would be those who contributed to republicans.
Apparently you didn't read the facts taken from the public record about how contributed to whom. Oblermann and you cie no sources for your data.
More specifics please let us know when Slobbermann cited 1 market where an Obama/dem contributor was shut down and a pubbie donor was kept in business JUST ! CONCRETE EXAMPLE???? So far just bs from diver.
This is more akin to nationalsocialism/fascism, government controlling and dictating to nominally private businesses
Well the righties are getting their depends in a bunch again.. FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: News Flash: Car Dealers are Republicans (It's Called a Control Group, People)
Obama made the comment in his book that he smoked pot and did a little blow but not heroin. No heroin because he did not like the guy that was selling it he said. That was the beginning of it all. Obama really is not a socialist ... I was wrong. He just hates stupid and greedy business people, it is their fault our economy sucks and he is out to prove it.
Laugh my ASSS off!! Anyone who buys this garbage has absolutely no credibility. I'm shocked that NEP didn't start this thread.
It is part of the Obama Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.. aka OOCD... anything remotely bad about Obama put on a blog, causes immediate rapture and sometimes mini orgasms..
Ah, very nice DarrylS, I was just going to ask the question you answered with this post. Seems obvious that if a high % of dealers overall donated to R candidates then closed dealers would have a similarly high % of donation to R's.

Why the PLO extended Abbas's term
Some say the PLO's move Wednesday to allow Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to stay in office beyond January was aimed at salvaging the PLO's legitimacy. Hamas rejects the extension.
Majdi Mohammed/AP
Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian Authority (PA), was given a green light Wednesday to stay in office beyond next January, when his term was due to expire for the second time.
The Central Council of the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) voted Tuesday to extend indefinitely the tenure of Mahmoud Abbas. The decision was seen as a stop-gap measure aimed at avoiding a potential collapse of the PA.
Some view the extension as primarily a political move on the part of heavyweights in Fatah, the PLO's main political faction, to stave off political crisis and questions over Abbas's legitimacy. According to the Palestinian Constitution, Abbas's term expires in late January.
But others view this as an indication that Abbas's alarm bells to the international community – which he rang last month with a vow that he would not seek office again and might soon resign – are being heeded, and are hoping for further developments.
"The decision of the Central Council was made because we don't want to face any legal problems or legitimacy vacuum," explains Qaddoura Fares, a senior Fatah official in Ramallah. "There's a lot of pressure on Abbas to stop functioning and not take any other decisions as president," he says.
Some of Abbas's critics, most prominently Hamas, note that Abbas's four-year term expired this past January of 2009.
His term was extended then by members of the non-functioning Palestinian Legislative Council, but Hamas says that was illegitimate. Abbas was elected in January 2005 after the death of his predecessor, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

Once upon a time, in a forest where three streams merged into a small, fast-flowing river, the locals say a shadow took life in the form of a black fox.
So shiny and thick and smooth was the coat of this black fox, it was said that hunters who caught sight of her were driven mad with the desire to own her pelt.
The best hunters for miles around chased after this elusive prey, but none succeeded. Indeed, many of them chased after the fox, deep into the darkness beneath the ancient pines, and never returned. Some believe they came across misfortune. Some believe they were taken by the fox into the fairy realm. Some have even more sinister theories to relate.
In a time when the autumn was crisping the leaves and turning the air cold, a young man went into the woods to gather firewood to sustain his family through the oncoming winter.
His bow was slung across his shoulders, and he carried an axe to cut wood, but he had no intention of killing any living creatures this day, and after many long hours of chopping and gathering, the young man set his axe aside and went to the riverbank to drink.
After dipping his hand into the cool water, a shadow flitted from the corner of his eye: The fox.
She sat, perched on a rock, close enough to touch, so still she might have been a statue.
The young man had heard the stories, but although her fur was undeniably beautiful, and though his fingers did ache with the desire to touch it, he could not find it within his heart to draw his bow and take aim, nor could he muster up the fear that the old women in the village instructed all men to have for such fey creatures.
For a long moment, he sat as still as the fox, staring into her golden eyes and admiring her beauty. The fox, growing impatient with his quietude, demanded, "Well, aren't you going to hunt me?"
"Why should I?" The young man asked, "There are enough pelts to keep my mother, my sister, and myself warm during the winter. Good, strong hides, from bear and deer. Your coat is beautiful, but far too small, and would serve no purpose. There is no need for me to take it from you."
"But the village would sing your praises," the fox said, stepping down from her rock and slinking forward, mischief gleaming in her eyes, "The one who bagged the elusive black fox! The old hags would thank you, worship you for removing the evil fey demon that I am from these woods."
"If you are a demon," the young man answered carefully, "Then my arrow would not find its mark, nor would my dagger bite your pelt. I would only anger you, and have the same fate befall me as did the hunters before me who pursued your pelt."
"Then for your own satisfaction," The fox demanded, "I see how your hand strays from your side; you long to touch my fur, to feel it beneath your fingers."
The young man nodded, "Yes, I cannot lie, I do wish to touch your coat, but not when it is soaked with cold blood. If you would allow me, then I would gladly touch you, but if you will not, then I shall not pursue you."
"You will not hunt me then? For need, for fame, or for desire?"
When he shook his head once more, she flicked the white tip of her tail irritably, and then she was gone. In her place crouched a woman, naked but for the flowing black locks of her hair that covered her body like a coat.
The fox's golden eyes stared out from her face, and her nose was nearly touching the man's as she smiled, "Then you have won my favor. Go now in peace, and never want again."
The woman disappeared, the black shadow disappearing beneath the pines with a laughing yip and a swish of white-tipped tail.
The young man returned home, and though he often ventured out into the pines to the river bank, he never again saw the black fox.
Winter came, and mysterious gifts of firewood, rabbits and pheasants were left on his family's doorstep. The snow around the gifts was always trampled by the tiny paw prints of the fox, but just occasionally, the prints were that of a human.
These gifts never ceased; every winter's night, they were left on his doorstep, even when he grew old and had a family of his own.
As the twilight of his life fell upon him, he lay in his deathbed, staring peacefully out of the window, into the night as the snow fell.
A shadow entered his room, a soft yip called his attention, and a naked woman sat down on his bed beside him, grinning mischievously.
"Well, old man," she said, "Did I not keep my promise? These long years, have you wanted for anything?"
The old man smiled, "I am grateful for all that you have done," he answered, "But there is one thing yet that I still would very much like."
"And what is that?" the fox asked, twitching her tail in annoyance.
He chuckled, "I would still very much like to touch your coat."
The fox's gaze softened, and she nodded, "You have kept my favor. Go in peace, and never want again."
The next morning, the old man's sons and daughters found him without breath, smiling peacefully.
A small black shadow that had been curled up beneath his hand leapt off of the bed at their entrance, fleeing through the window and flicking a white-tipped tail, while a laugh-like yip echoed through the still winter morning.

Risk Management – Barbados |
Barbados is brushed by tropical storms, hurricanes and tropical depressions frequently. Most recently, hurricane Lili damaged over 300 houses in September 2002 and Ivan killed one person and damaged over 300 buildings in September 2004. The most devastating hurricane of the past century was Janet in 1955, which killed 35 people, destroyed more than 8000 homes and left around 20,000 people homeless. The secondary effects of Hurricanes and tropical storms, however, such as wind damage, inland flooding, landslides and coastal surge are still of concern.
Other natural hazards to threaten Barbados are flooding, landslides, drought and soil erosion. The active submarine volcano Kick 'em Jenny, located at 260 km southwest of the island, poses a threat of tsunamis.
The island is also prone to manmade hazards such as hazardous waste. Illegal solid waste disposal threatens to contaminate aquifers. The pollution of coastal waters from waste disposal by ships is an issue. Oil spills are considered to be a major threat because of the importance of the environment to tourism and the economy.
The Caribbean Uniform Building Code is currently used as the national model. A specific national code is being designed and a Barbados Building Authority is being set up in order to monitor and enforce the code.
Some hazard mapping has been conducted, yet updating remains a challenge. Vulnerability and capacity assessments have been done for shelters, police stations, fire stations and hospitals. As for early warning, the Caribbean Meteorology and Hydrology Institute (CMHI) located in Barbados serves as a weather systems monitor and flood gauges have been established in those areas at risk.
The Department of Emergency Management (DEM) is responsible for the development and implementation of the Emergency Management Programme in Barbados. It has the responsibility for coordinating emergency management activities. The Department came into being on April 1, 2007 by the statutory legislation of the Emergency Management Act 2006. It replaces the Central Emergency Relief Organisation Secretariat which dated back to the 1940's when an organization for Hurricane Relief was formed under the authority and direction of the Governor. At that time the main emphasis was on relief.

Cassandra Gossip
Spotted... on Mount Olympus or Asgard. xoxo Gossip Shmoop
Cassie Newton was the name of a psychic teenager in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, who like Cassandra, predicts her own death. (Man, these Cassandras don't have much luck.)
In the Marvel Comics Universe, Professor Charles Xavier of the X Men has an evil twin sister named Cassandra Nova, who has crazy psychic powers.
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix we learn that Professor Trelawney, the divination teacher, is a descendant of Cassandra Trelawney, a famous seeress.
River Tam from the Firefly series is a lot like Cassandra; she's got crazy psychic abilities, but she speaks in such a jumble that it's hard for people to know what she's talking about.

Sun and Mirror accused of Jo Yeates contempt
Two newspapers published articles about the arrest of a man over the killing of Jo Yeates which were in contempt of court, the High Court has been told.
Attorney General Dominic Grieve said he wanted a prison sentence awarded or another "appropriate penalty".
The Sun and Daily Mirror dispute Mr Grieve's claims, and deny contempt.
He said the articles meant that had Christopher Jefferies, who was arrested and then released, been charged, he would not have had a fair trial.
Mr Jefferies, who was Miss Yeates' Bristol landlord, was arrested in December 2010 but was later released without charge.
Mr Grieve, the government's chief legal adviser, said the stories overstepped the mark and if Mr Jefferies had gone on to be charged, they would have posed a "substantial risk of serious prejudice" to any trial he might have faced.
He added that the articles contained material which would not have been placed before a jury as "admissible evidence".
'Entirely innocent'
In written documents before the court, Mr Grieve said his concerns related to articles in the Mirror on December 31 and January 1 and an article in the Sun on January 1.
It's an indication of the significance of these contempt proceedings that the Attorney General Dominic Grieve QC has appeared in person to outline the case in front of the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge.
Mr Grieve described the material published about Christopher Jefferies as being so exceptional and memorable in its impact as to risk prejudicing and impeding a fair trial.
He pointed in particular to suggestions that Mr Jefferies was a sexually perverted voyeur, that he had possibly been involved in a previous murder and that he was a close friend of a known paedophile.
These proceedings are indicative of a wider problem.
Newspapers, now facing intense and immediate competition from the internet, inevitably feel under pressure to provide information in relation to those arrested and questioned about major crimes.
There is a tendency to push the envelope ever further. These proceedings are likely to give some clarity as to how far in 2011 a newspaper can go.
He said the articles contained material which was "exceptionally adverse and hostile" to Mr Jefferies and that Mr Jefferies challenged material contained in the articles and had made a separate libel complaint.
Mr Grieve said he had warned the media about coverage "in the context of [Mr Jefferies'] arrest" during a BBC radio interview on December 31.
The retired teacher was "entirely innocent", Mr Grieve added.
Lawyers representing Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) - publishers of the Mirror - and News Group Newspapers (NGN) - publishers of The Sun - have outlined their defence in written submissions given to judges.
BBC home affairs correspondent Matt Prodger said the case has far-reaching implications for the future of the Contempt of Court Act, which restricts the publication of material that could seriously prejudice a trial.
Miss Yeates vanished after returning to her basement flat in Bristol's Clifton area on 17 December.
Her body was found on a grass verge about three miles away on Longwood Lane in Failand on Christmas Day.
Miss Yeates' neighbour, Vincent Tabak, 33, from the Netherlands, has admitted manslaughter and is awaiting trial accused of murder.
Miss Yeates' landlord, Mr Jefferies, who was the subject of media scrutiny after he was arrested, is also suing six national newspapers in the civil courts.
Our correspondent said the law of contempt has become the subject of much debate in recent months.
He said both the competition of 24-hour news and a relatively unregulated internet pose a significant challenge to the system of fair trials, which relies on juries reaching a verdict based only on the evidence they hear in court.
Our correspondent said the hearing had now concluded.
The three judges, including Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge, have reserved judgement until a later date.

We launched leggings! Step into a world of individuality.
The Island of Korcula, Croatia.
This old man was roaming around the village while we were wandering the streets, taking in the sites and sounds. He called out and we turned around, thinking he was talking to us. We soon realised he was actually calling out to the local stray cats. In his bag he had food for them and this must have been feeding time.
The cats all knew him well and came out from several hiding spots to get their lunch. It soon became apparent that this old man wasn't in a fit state of mind. His motions were hesitating and he looked lost. After a while he sat down with the cats, looking like he was collecting his thoughts or trying to recall how he ended up here in the first place.
It was sad to witness, but something I wanted to remember.

The German Supermarket Experience…When You've Just Arrived in Germany
by Melissa Alvarado
A week had passed since I arrived in Germany, back in June. I was pretty tired of eating out, and I wanted to cook something at home or at least have food in my fridge. So, as anybody would do, I went to the supermarket.
I know! There's nothing fantastic or worth writing about going to the supermarket… Except when you have absolutely no idea how things are called in German and you end up spending two hours wandering around the halls and starving.
That's exactly how my first experience in a German supermarket was: Not normal. At all.

Moscow's moves in Georgia track a script by right-wing prophet
Is Alexander Dugin really the new sage of the Kremlin?
In the 1990s, few listened to Alexander Dugin.
But this shaggy-bearded ultranationalist has come a long way from those days as a lonely pamphleteer. Then, amid the ruins of the Soviet Union, he forecast that Russia's inevitable return to great power status would be via Georgia.
Once derided by Russia's pro-Western elites, Mr. Dugin now looks like a geopolitical prophet. And he apparently has the Kremlin's ear.
His books championed the view that Russia's efforts to integrate with the global community were doomed to be swept away by fresh waves of conflict between Moscow and Washington over control of Georgia, Ukraine, and the ex-Soviet states of Central Asia.
This summer's lightning war with Georgia and the emerging political crisis in next door Ukraine are happening right on Dugin's schedule. President Dmitry Medvedev's recent foreign-policy manifesto, outlining Russia's claim to its own sphere of influence in the former Soviet Union, might have been penned by Dugin.
