Tulips - flowering fail
I caught the very end of a bit of TV news where a tulip grower was bitterly lamenting this cold spring. He said that flower initiatioin had failed because of the very cold weather and now, it was too late in the year for any blooming.
Needless to say, I raced outside and fumbled feverishly amongst the tulip foliage and nope, no sign of incipient buds for me either.
Having around 3000 on my allotment, the tulip season is one of the great highlights of my growing year. I know the bulbs will be OK (next year) but what a dreadful downer.
Am I being a terrible pessimist (this has never happened to me before) and can anyone shed any light on this phenomenon.
This has been an awful spring - bits of Norfolk have dropped into the sea as a result of relentless battering easterly winds!
I agree, spring here has also been dreadful. Temps are well below average. Days are warming up again and might finally become stable. So far none of my tulips have tried to flower, but i would wait...perhaps they are capable of blooming a little late? The local botanical garden seems to be struggling getting anything to come up (besides the ones that come up in snow anyway). I have a neighbor whose most important time of year is also her tulips.
I wouldn't give up yet. Springs have been generally getting colder here over the past few years and last spring was quite cold - maybe not as cold as this one, but cold.
My mini-botanical tulips start blooming anywhere from mid-April to the end of April, depending on how warm the spring is. (no sign of flowers on them yet....) The larger tulips - e.g. the Darwins - can start blooming in early May in a warm spring but not until the second or third week in a cooler one.
As long as you get a few sunny, warm days soon, I doubt that the tulips will fail completely.
How long ago did you plant these tulips and what sort are they?
After a few seasons some of the hybrid tulips can peter out. For many years I couldn't figure out why people said tulips didn't grow long and they had to replace them. After growing a bunch I must agree now. Some hybrids do last for years and years without fail, while others dwindle in only a couple. My 'Sensual Touch' (a TULIP cultivar! Let's not get any ideas here folks, lol) and 'Ice Cream' tulips hardly put out a flower second year. Sad! Especially since those two were some of the $$ bulbs I've ever gotten... :-P
I have been growing them over a decade - they really like the light sandy soil and open sunny aspect and have been reliably perennial for me so I would be hugely disappointed for them to come up blind. At least there is always next year and I haven't totally given up on them yet but I do think there is a chance of failure once daylight triggers a certain stage of growth without the requisite temperature. As I said, this was news to me having not come across this particular problem before.
I have many species (batalini, humilis, chrysantha, hageri and (my favourite because of the name, Vvedensky) so it will be interesting to see how they are affected (if at all).
My permanent ones are fine, Campanula. But some of the potted ones are very stubby, although they do have flower buds coming. Just bog standard greigii and some Darwin-types. Today the sun came out!!!!!!! Things seemed to have grown in just a few hours.
That said the daffs have lasted about 7 weeks in a suspended bloom time.
I know, I still have snowdrops blooming!
Living in hope for the tulips (thanks for the heads-up, Flora) - along with roses, they are my major single genus obsession. Finding Peter Nyssen bulbs back in 2005 (buying bulbs by the 100...and cheaply too) removed 'moderation' from my vocabulary, overnight.

Stayed here after a whole day of traveling. Rooms were very spacious and clean, and staff
was very friendly. There is a Bar located inside the lobby, an outdoor pool and hot tub, even
an outdoor fire pit for winter and fall evenings. Very close to DFW Airport, and Hotel gave me
a Shuttle ride to the Airport and also staff gave us a ride to a nearby Applebee's for a late night
dinner upon arrival. Beds were very comfortable, and rooms were quiet for sleeping. I will
definitely stay here again.

World of the Living Dead, a browser-based zombie survival strategy game using real world maps, will be shut down after a year of open beta. The news isn't all sad in that the game will be revamped and upgraded as WotLD: Resurrection.
The studio decided after two years of development that "the game in its current shape, form and infrastructure needed a drastic redesign."
According to Ballardia co-founder Kulpreet Singh, "We've made substantial design changes - restructuring the universe into grids, extracting information from a rich real-world data set and making these grids and data work together to provide a much more scalable game."
World of the Living Dead utilized Google Maps as players virtually explored the zombie landscape, as they hoarded survival items, met other survivors, and so on.
Players who had been enjoying World of the Living Dead will be receiving special in-game gifts for Resurrection, as well as the transfer of unspent NECRA credits.
A closed beta for a limited number of existing users will start in July. For more information about World of the Living Dead, visit the official site here.

How many generation estimated from first cell to modern human?
By JAC12358
Added: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 23:54:16 UTC
I was trying to find the answer to this question while thinking of just how many generational iterations there have been to the genome from the first cell to me, to see just how many mutations would be needed to have changed it. Does anyone here, Dawkins included, have any sort of ball park number?
I would imagine it would be easier to break it down by each species, so to speak. In other words, given the current rate of reproduction (about 4 generations per century) and the known time of the first homo sapiens (where probably the century average was higher at 5 or 6 generations), how many members are in my lineage?
Then do the same calculation back to the first primate, mammal (circumvent lizards and birds), the first synapsid, tetrapod, vertabrate, etc. all the way down to microbes reproducing several times daily. Has such a number ever been postulated, systematically worked out as best we can estimate based on the reproductive lifespan of each life form and how long it existed before branching into something else and what ultimately led to us?
Many thanks to whoever can accomplish this one!

David Stern has told the Knicks and Nets to play nice I don't know who is more annoying, James Dolan or Mikhail Prokhorov. The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets have all of a sudden become the two rich brothers in some expensive prep school that are thirsty for all the attention. From the owners to the players, the bickering, insults and pranks have continually increased over the years and now has reached a new level. Commissioner David Stern has seen enough. Although the soon-to-be 71 year-old commissioner is getting ready to retire, he's not going to let the two New York owners continue to act like cornballs. So the principal polarizing commish has decided to issue a warning for two New York franchises. Via New York Post: Play nice, guys. That essentially was the directive given to owners James Dolan of the Knicks and Mikhail Prokhorov of the Nets this past season during a meeting orchestrated by NBA Commissioner David Stern, who wanted to snuff any lingering tension between the two and prevent a full-blown feud, multiple league sources told The Post. "There was such a meeting and the parties both said it was a very cordial and pleasant one," said one league official with knowledge of the sit-down, which happened early in the season. The official also confirmed Stern assisted in getting the pair together in an attempt to prevent a wave of spitballs going back and forth over the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. I suppose the rivalry is good for the league, but I don't think fans want to hear two rich owners trying to manufacture a rivalry as much as the players going hard against each other. The season is a few short months away, we will see if all this trash talk ratcheted the rivalry up a few notches. The post David Stern issues warning for Knicks/Nets owners appeared first on New York Sports Kings.

Boomer Baynes gets NBA call up
A gangly, temperamental kid from Mareeba who never backed down is set to join one of basketball's most storied NBA franchises.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Taipans Academy graduate Aron Baynes will reportedly sign with the San Antonio Spurs this week joining fellow Australian Patty Mills on the team's squad.
The 208 centimetre centre has starred overseas in the Euroleague with Slovenian team KK Union Olimpija following on from an impressive Olympics with the Boomers.
Former mentor and Cairns Taipans coach Aaron Fearne says the call up is fitting reward for the hard working big man.
"All the credit goes to him. He's incredibly driven and passionate," Fearne says.
"He's temperamental but I like those guys. I think you can mould those guys into solid, aggressive players."
Baynes is the second far north Queensland player groomed by Fearne to be picked up by an NBA team.
Bamaga's Nathan Jawai was drafted in 2008 playing with the Toronto Raptors and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Such success is rare for a regional community says Fearne.
"I was just saying to my wife last night, to have two guys from here and from the environment's they've come from, to be in the NBA is pretty special," he says.
"We're all pretty proud of that."
"I still remember the first day he walked through the door as a bottom-aged under 18s [player]. He was not real skilled.
"Just this big kid, very gangly and not very coordinated but he just worked."
Fearne says several NBA scouts had looked at Baynes recently. Former Australian Boomers head coach Brett Brown is also an assistant with the San Antonio Spurs.

Postgame 12/09: Islanders vs. Ducks
The 2013-2014 New York Islanders season was filled with hope and promise long before it even began thanks to a spirited playoff run last year against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Optimism filled the island with high expectations and preparation for a year that would see the Isles return to playoff glory and even better position in the standings (Photo credit: Official New York Islanders/Flickr).
Sadly, things are looking quite the opposite with each game that passes.
The New York Islanders continue their western road trip tonight with a stop in Los Angeles to face the Kings, still searching for their first regulation win after the last 11 games played.
The Islanders will still be without Evgeni Nabokov tonight, as Kevin Poulin is slated to start between the pipes. At the other end of the ice will likely be Ben Scrivens, who has taken over for Jonathan Quick after he went down due to injury. Scrivens has played exceptionally well, helping keep his team in the top three of the Pacific Division and 5th in the Western Conference.
NEW YORK ISLANDERS FANS v. JACK CAPUANO
As the annual Thanksgiving week home stand approaches, the state of the Islanders is not what fans had expected at this point into the season. After last night's 5-2 loss to the Flyers, the team now sits at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division looking to find any way possible to recover from this recent skid.
The struggling New York Islanders (7-10-3) look to turn things around tonight with Evgeni Nabokov in goal against the visiting Detroit Red Wings (9-5-6). The Red Wings, now a new Eastern Conference opponent due to the alignment change, are facing the Isles for the first time this season after a 4-3 shootout loss last night to the Washington Capitals.
The Isles, who once sat second in the Metropolitan Division, currently sit in 6th, five points behind the second place Capitals and three points behind the third place Carolina Hurricanes.
An inability to hold gain leads and/or hold them has propelled the Islanders to the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings (12th in the East) and has allowed their division rivals to surpass them.
Although he is second on the all-time list of wins as head coach of the New York Islanders, Jack Capuano's job may be slowly becoming in jeopardy with every Islanders loss (Photo credit: OneTigerFan/Flickr).
This is his fourth season behind the beach of the New York Islanders as the head coach of the team, now working closely with assistant coach and former captain Doug Weight. Like many of the previous coaches to hold the position, Capuano's future with the team has always been mired with plenty of criticism.
The New York Islanders lose to the Montreal Canadiens for their 4th loss in a row.
It has been a long week for the New York Islanders. The early season road trip has been an absolute disaster for the Isles and dropping a 5-2 decision to the Columbus Blue Jackets Saturday continued the misery. Columbus came into the game losers of five straight, but clearly was a team that just wanted it more last night as they did something that has been the bugaboo of the Isles all season; they played the full 60 minutes.
Ryan Strome has been developing with the New York Islanders organization for the past two years, playing with their AHL farm-team affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (Photo Credit: mandelux12/Flickr).
In 10 games with the Sound Tigers in 2013, Strome scored seven points in 10 games (two goals and five assists). He has continued the high scoring pace this season as well, notching 14 points in nine games played (three goals and 11 assists) as the team's top scorer.
He also was cited as the best player in the Islander rookie camp before the puck dropped for this season as well.

Ancient Aliens- The Einstein Factor. I've had too much fun today. Seriously, for a nerd like myself today was great. Now I'm watching a program that's discussing Einsteins' thought experiments. He titled them Quantum Enganglement ; being in touch with other worldly entities. It became a basis for Project Stargate and it's work with remote viewing. Fascinating.

Please click on this link, read the story and tell me what you think. Fake or Real?
XAVER8OO- a "see through walls" camera
Here's a website on the camera XAVER800, which sounds like it's comparable to what was being developed by HAARP- the miltary base , now closed, in ALaska. to find out more, read the post previous to this one. It talks about the program" Conspiracy Theory" with Jessie Ventura.http://www.camero-tech.com/xaver800.shtml.
I had two questions- is the XAVER 8OO something that is widely available- like at your nearest walmart? and what effect would this type of see through vision have on the human body? The body being watched, I mean. Can't you just see this? If people are looking through someone's walls, they want to see the people on the other side of the walls. Why not just call them on their cell phones? This is science fiction.
I found this on the Internet.
"X-ray vision is no longer just for sci-fi movies and superheroes. Now, superhuman powers are closer to real life than you might think. Engineers have developed a new device, called the Xaver800 that can see straight through walls.
"It's designed to find people through walls and tell you where they are and how many there are," says engineer Robert Judd. The device can see through plaster, brick, even reinforced concrete. It quickly identifies who or what is in a room and what's happening behind the walls. The device sends out radio waves through a wall or door. The waves then bounce off objects in a room and bounce back to the device which creates an image of objects in a room — moving flashes of light represent people or furniture in a room.
New technology that will be used by law enforcement and the military can look through walls. It is available now, and is being tested by a handful of police departments, before it could move into widespread use.
HOW IT WORKS: The Xaver800 technology provides 'Through the Wall' vision, allowing the user to rapidly and reliably observe one or more people in a room and monitor their movements, while positioned outside the room's walls. The system uses sound waves at a particular frequency — ultra-wide radio waves, which pass through wood and concrete — to capture images, much like ultrasound imaging captures the image of a fetus through the mother's skin. Sensors detect the reflected waves. That mechanical motion is translated into electrical signals. Then the computer software algorithms process the signals and create a 3-D image of the people or objects concealed by solid barriers made of cement, plaster, brick, concrete and wood. The system operates on very low power signals; the total energy transmitted is less than that emitted by a standard cellphone."
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report
Death Rays -a weapon. ELF Radio waves and others.
I'm watching two programs on a new form of weapon -death rays. It was titled Conspiracy Theory with Jessie Ventura. One episode was titled " Death Rays" and the other was titled" HAARP" This episode focused on investigating the High Frequency Active Auroral Program, in Alaska. Very interesting and very strange information about this research base. This episode concluded with Jessie Ventura wondering if they were developing a form of mind control there. One of the speakers, showed him a device that sent a signal through the central nervous system that allowed him to hear a radio station. Obviously, in my opinion, they're also experimenting on telepathy. In " Death Rays" they mentioned Tesla, electromagnetic rays and DeJeus- an inventor who dies mysteriously two days after being interviewed about his discovery, rays that can be sent from a distance that disrupt heart functions. One of the speakers said it was the most dangerous weapon in the world. There is one form of it that can be hand held and works at a range of 30 feet-yes, it sees through walls, and another one that is about the "size of a bazooka" that has a range of 200 feet. When aimed at the person, it causes an instant violent fibrillation of the heart and within 10 seconds the person is dead-sometimes it looks as though the person has had a seizure. Another weapon of this type causes severe anxiety and nervous tension. the web site that i researched after watching this program has a very interesting article- the website is rense.com/general79.htm. There are various other sites about the HAARP Project, including Wikipedia and one that indicates that there may be other HAARP locations. You can locate other sites like it using search terms venus ecm technique.
I haven't been here in a awhile-sorry to any who read and follow me. Too much to do and not enough time;) No excuses, though. I'm watching, right now, a program on the History Channel entitled Aliens and Dinosaurs.
Did you know that many of the T-Rex skeletons found were covered with radioactivity and had to be painted in a lead base paint?
They also said that the Dinosaurs died out , and this is paraphrased, as an extermination event brought on by Aliens and their weapons of war-namely a nuclear warhead.
watch this episode, please. I found it intensely interesting.

North Star Polaris Is Getting Brighter
By by Nola Taylor Redd, SPACE.com ContributorFebruary 4, 2014 10:46 AM
The North Star Polaris Is Getting Brighter
View gallery
This long-exposure photo (left) shows how the North Star, Polaris, stays fixed in the night sky as other …
The North Star has remained an eternal reassurance for northern travelers over the centuries. But recent and historical research reveals that the ever-constant star is actually changing.
After dimming for the last few decades, the North Star is beginning to shine brightly again. And over the last two centuries, the brightening has become rather dramatic.
"It was unexpected to find," Scott Engle of Villanova University in Pennsylvania told SPACE.com. Engle investigated the fluctuations of the star over the course of several years, combing through historical records and even turning the gaze of the famed Hubble Space Telescope onto the star. [Top 10 Star Mysteries]
(In)constant as the North Star
Scientists have known since the early 20th century that the familiar star was part of a pulsating class known as Cepheid variables; its variations were suspected as early as the mid-1800s. But unlike most Cepheid variables, the pulses of Polaris are very small.
"If it had not been so popular as the North Star, we likely wouldn't have known it was a Cepheid until modern times," Engle said.
What humans may have looked like 7,000 years ago
Hunter-gatherer roots, Paleo diet and some possible traces of African genes
Dark skin. Blue eyes. Beard. Thin and borderline lactose-intolerant.
That's what scientists say man may have looked like 7,000 years ago, after studying DNA from bones discovered in a Spanish cave. The Mesolithic skeleton found at the La Brana-Arintero site in Leon in 2006 is thought to be the first recovered genome of a European from that period.
According to a study published on Sunday in the journal Nature, pigmentation genes extracted from a tooth of the man — dubbed La Brana 1 — reveal he had dark skin like an African-American but the blue eyes of a Scandanavian, "suggesting the light skin of modern Europeans was not yet ubiquitous in Mesolithic times."
"The biggest surprise was to discover that this individual possessed African versions in the genes that determine the light pigmentation of the current Europeans," Carles Lalueza-Fox, a researcher from the Spanish National Research Council, said in a press release accompanying the findings.

Flying High: Cannon Fires Cans Filled With Marijuana Across Mexican Border
By Mark Memmott
Last year, smugglers tried using a catapult to get pot into the U.S.
Now, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents say they recently discovered 30 large cans of marijuana in a field near Yuma, Ariz., — and that the barrels apparently landed there after being fired from a pneumatic-powered cannon 500 feet away in Mexico.
The pot totaled about 85 pounds and "was valued at $42,500," NBCSanDiego.com says.
In other smuggling news, "Spanish authorities say they have arrested a Panamanian woman arriving at Barcelona airport with 3 pounds of cocaine concealed in breast implants," The Associated Press says.
The Panamanian woman was picked up at the airport in Barcelona.
So, it seems, we have two cases of flying high.

Champro Catchers/Umpire Wheeled Bag 1 1
Nice bag for the money So far (had it two weeks for a tournament) so good. Holds the stuff it needs to. Zippers seem well made and sturdy (time will tell on that one). Wish the upper compartments were stiffer on the bottom to keep stuff separate. Wheels function well on dirt and pavement, not so well on gravel (but most bags of this type would be the same) bigger wheels for gravel might be better. November 1, 2012

'KONY 2012′ Is Now History's Most Viral Video
Have you seen the 'Kony 2012′? If not, you may be one of the few — the haunting short film just became the most viral video in history.
Have you seen the 'Kony 2012′? If not, you may be one of the few — the haunting short film just became the most viral video in history.
Sometimes all it takes to buy a piece of movie history is a hefty bank account. Such was the case with the house where a young Macaulay Culkin outsmarted a pair of bungling criminals in the 1990 holiday classic film 'Home Alone,' which just sold for $1.5 million.
South Korea is getting their own version of 'Top Gear.' Their first episode is bound to be way cooler than even the first episode of the original show, even if this massive helicopter crash wasn't by intention.
The 'Men in Black' are back in a new trailer for this summer's third blockbuster outing.
In 1984, a young Disney animator named Tim Burton directed his live-action debut, the short film 'Frankenweenie.' Disney planned for the short to run before a theatrical re-release of 'Pinocchio,' but once they screened the completed project, they fired Burton on the spot.
Burton, of course, went on to a somewhat legendary career as a filmmaker and in 2010 made Disney over $1 billion on 'Alice in Wonderland.' And now, in 2012, Disney is finally OK with the idea of a little boy who brings his dead dog back to life.
Dolly Parton is the muse in a new documentary that's set to debut at the 2012 Nashville Film Festival, which runs the week of April 19-26. Though the appropriately titled 'Hollywood to Dollywood' might sound like a documentary about the Queen of Country Music herself, it actually chronicles the adventures of two identical twin brothers, Gary and Larry Lane, who are hoping to get Parton to star in their screenplay 'Full Circle.'
Talk about branching out! The undeniably talented Taylor Swift is adding movies to her already long line of accomplishments. She's not actually acting on screen per say, but she is acting nonetheless.
It's really cool to see country artist's songs being used in the movies more and more. It's especially cool that one of my favorite guitar slingers, Keith Urban, has a song in one of the biggest movies from the past weekend. And besides that, Rob likes it. Don't let that scare you away.
Dwight Yoakam was slated to play the part of the villain in the upcoming film 'The Lone Ranger,' but he has just walked away from the role due to conflicts in his schedule. The film — which has a celebrity cast of Johnny Depp as the American Indian Tonto, Armie Hammer as the Lone Ranger and Tom Wilkinson as the evil railroad tycoon Latham Cole — will still go on without him.
Jimmy Kimmel decided to make the greatest movie ever. The title is "Movie: The Movie". Pretty exciting title I know! I think it would be hit as it has some pretty well known actors and actresses in this flick
The 2012 Oscars managed to include the expected and shocks all at the same time. Odds on favorite, 'The Artist', won five awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for Jean Dujardin and Best Director for Michel Hazanivicius. But 'Hugo' gave it a run for its money, also bringing home five awards (though none in the major categories).
According to Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, two new animated children's movies — 'The Secret World of Arrietty' and 'Dr Seuss' The Lorax' — are part of a plot by Hollywood and the Obama administration to "indoctrinate our children" with their liberal agenda.

Full Frame? Micro Four Thirds? APS? Here's a guide to how sensor size affects image quality.
Mason Resnick
November 20, 2009
The size of a camera's sensor can directly affect image quality, especially when you're shooting above ISO 100. Here's what you should know when you're shopping for a new digital camera
This scenario has repeated itself numerous times over the last couple of years. "Last year for the holidays, I got this 12MP camera that fits in my pocket," a friend would say. "And I thought that because it has so many megapixels, the images would be amazing. But I've been disappointed with it. Why are my pictures coming out so bad?"Usually, I discover that the 12MP pocket camera has a sensor that is roughly the size of a pinkie nail, and that's the source of the problem. Destroying the resolution mythThere are three factors that work together determine image quality: Resolution, sensor size, and ISO. (Some cameras may have built-in noise reduction firmware, which can modify grain, but that's usually at the price of some image sharpness.) The problem comes when we want it all: We demand ultra-sharp images in pocket-sized cameras and expect that the higher the resolution, the better our chances are for sharp, clear pictures. But the opposite is true.Here's what happens when your camera has a really tiny sensor with a high pixel count:1. The individual pixels have to be made smaller. A sensor is made up of many tiny receptors, called pixels, which record light. The larger these sensors are, the more sensitive to light they are, and that benefits image quality. A "pixel pitch" of 6-8 microns is very good. But a typical compact camera's pixel pitch is going to be less than 2 microns. In some cases, much less. 2. Deviated septums. On a larger sensor, each pixel is separated by a septum to prevent light from falling off from one pixel to its neighbor. Smaller sensors lack these septums and as a result, light spills across sensors, causing a kind of internal flare and reducing overall image contrast.3. Making a lot of noise. To make up for the small pixel size, camera makers boost the gain in trying to capture a usable image, but this results in what we call digital noise, on photos especially in low light or shadowy areas. The graininess gets worse as ISO is increased.So, class, what have we learned here? Small sensors in small cameras are bad for image quality, especially at high ISO, no matter what the camera's resolution is.Geeking out and pixel peepingIn fact, according to independent tests, it has been determined that the ideal sensor resolution for low-noise 8x10 prints using a compact digital cameras is only 6 megapixels, and that overall image quality deteriorates when using more than that!But it's not so straightforward. To accommodate larger sensors, you need a larger camera, and many people like having little cameras that they can slip into their pockets. What to do?Compromise, but know what each compromise brings. Let's break down the different sensor sizes and what each means in terms of image quality and camera size.I've put together a chart that might help you to better visualize and decide. Recommendations are based on cameras with 10MP resolution, which is average for compact cameras these days.
Sensor size

*Max. ISO is the highest ISO setting that I recommend using, based on typical signal-noise ratio and dynamic range sensitivity as tested by DxOMark. I provide a range for most sensors because the pixel count affects this number. Still confused? Here's a more visual comparison of different sensor sizes that breaks it down even further, courtesy of Wikipedia (note actual sensor sizes are smaller than they may appear on screen).
Lower-resolution cameras will be able to produce usable images at slightly higher ISOs. Higher-resolution cameras may not deliver usable pictures even at the recommended Max. ISO. On the other hand, with the exception of camera phones (which generally will always produce poor quality images), if you stick to your compact camera's minimum ISO, you should be able to get excellent results and prints you should be very happy with.Price, compact cameras, and image qualityNo matter how much a compact digital camera costs, the laws of physics still apply, and image quality won't change with the price unless the camera has an oversized sensor, which is very rare. (The Sigma DP1 and DP2, with their APS-sized sensors, are notable exceptions.) Generally, the cost of a compact Moving Down The Digital Camera Food ChainLet's break it down. Here's the digital camera image food chain, as I see it:Camera Phones: Photographically speaking, they're bottom feeders, marginally OK for online photo sharing on Facebook and other social networking sites if shooting in bright daylight. Don't use them in low light or if you plan to make prints. (They're great for texting and making phone calls, though!)
Pocket digicams (lens zooms internally): Better than cell phones, capable of producing very nice 4x6-inch prints at lowest ISO setting, and super-convenient. But don't expect much beyond snapshot quality at ISO 200, and by ISO 400, you can look forward to a grainy mess.
Compact digicams (external zoom lens, too big for shirt pocket): Can produce 8x10 or even 11x14 images with decent quality at lowest ISO, but don't go beyond 4x6 inch prints when shooting at ISO 400 or higher.
Four Thirds System (DSLRs and interchangeable-lens compacts): A vast improvement over compacts. You should be able to get stunning 8x10s at ISO 100 and 200, passable prints at ISO 400. Apply noise reduction at ISO 400-800, don't bother with higher speeds except in emergencies.
Consumer DSLRs: Should deliver excellent print quality even at ISO 400, although you'll see a bit of grain at ISO 800. At ISO 1600 you should be able to produce decent smaller prints, although some newer prosumer-level cameras have improved to the point where, even at 1600-2000, you'll get publishable images.
Pro DSLRs: The Big Fish. Full-frame sensors will deliver outstanding image quality at almost all speeds, including ISO 1600. While older models may crap out at ISO 3200, newer caneras can deliver publishable (if noticeably grainy) shots at ISO 6400 and even at ISO 12,800! Of course, you pay a premium in size, weight, and cost to get to this level of quality.
Most compact cameras only capture JPEG image files and automatically apply some form of noise reduction, but this often means the overall image is softened to make the noise seem less apparent. This firmware fix is constantly being refined; some cameras will selectively reduce noise in the darker areas of high-speed pictures while leaving the highlights (where grain is generally less noticeable) alone.Recent advances in sensor design are expected to improve high-ISO performance, although right now only a handful of pro-level cameras, such as the Nikon D3s, Canon EOS-1 Mark IV, and Canon 7D, have produced truly high-quality high-ISO results; cameras with smaller sensors are still using older technology.So now you know what to expect, no matter what camera you buy. Check out our guides to the best budget compacts, fashion compacts, system compacts, starter DSLRs and mid-range DSLRs. I hope these articles and the knowledge you got reading this one will you make a more informed buying decision!

Just a reminder that BOMB's special event for the 10th anniversary of its "Americas Issue" is taking place tonight at the King Juan Carlos Center at NYU (53 Washington Square South).
The event starts at 6:30 and includes readings from two great Chilean poets—Raul Zurita and Nicanor Parra—and their translators, Anna Deeny and Liz Werner, respectively.
In addition Argentine novelist Sergio Chejfec and his translator, Margaret Carson, (both of whom I met the other night, and who got me very excited about My Two Worlds, the Walser meets Sebald novel that Vila-Matas wrote about) will also read, as will Chilean novelist Lina Meruane.
Hope to see you there . . .
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .

Ethology, a sub-topic of zoology, is the study of animal behavior that focuses on behavior in natural settings, as opposed to behaviourism, which focuses on the behavior of animals in laboratory settings. The term "ethology" is based off the Greek word ethos, which means character. It was first made popular in 1902 by William Morton Wheeler, an American myrmecologist, but the term was actually suggested by John Stuart Mill in 1843 for use in associationistic psychology. Ethology can also...
Electrooculography, sometimes shortened to EOG, is the tracing of electricity used for operation of the retina in different phases, specifically the resting potential. The results are recorded on an electrooculogram. These are interpreted for opthalmological diagnosis and in recording eye movements. Eye movement measurements: Usually, pairs of electrodes are placed either above and below the eye or to the left and right of the eye. If the eye is moved from the center position towards one...
