Red Sox to start Clay Buchholz in Game 2, John Lackey in Game 3 of ALCS vs. Tigers
|10.11.13 at 4:32 pm ET
Red Sox manager John Farrell said that after Jon Lester makes the Game 1 start in the best-of-seven American League Championship Series against the Tigers, the team will feature right-hander Clay Buchholz in Game 2 and John Lackey in Game 3, flip-flopping the two right-handers from the order in which they pitched in the Division Series. Jake Peavy is once again slated to start Game 4. Farrell suggested that Buchholz threw well in his Game 3 start against the Rays, and that while Lackey also ultimately earned a win, the Sox thought he might benefit from some side work, including pitching against some teammates in live batting practice on Friday.
Asked if he'd identified his starter at third base for Games 1 and 2 of the series, Farrell said that Will Middlebrooks would start Game 1, but then the team was contemplating the possibility of changing course (presumably, meaning the possibility of a playoff start for Xander Bogaerts) for Game 2, when Tigers right-hander Max Scherzer (against whom Middlebrooks is 1-for-6 with four strikeouts in his career — though with what proved to be the game-winning two-run single against him in September) will be on the mound.
"Based on some matchups, we've got some things that we're looking at in a couple of different spots," said Farrell.
It is worth noting that Middlebrooks is not alone in his struggles against Scherzer. Mike Napoli is 1-for-13 with one walk and five strikeouts against him; Daniel Nava is 1-for-9 with a walk and two strikeouts; Mike Carp is 2-for-8 with a walk and five strikeouts.

Listen & Speak Pro
Are you learning a foreign language and have difficulties understanding the native speakers?
Don't have enough time to practice with a teacher?
Do you find that the language classes you take are too much about grammar and very little about actual speaking the language?
Our software will transform your mobile device into a perfect foreign language teacher.
It uses an advanced learning technique where short language patterns are read, understood, and pronounced in sequence. The application then analyzes your pronunciation, telling you how well you have done. You can also directly compare your recording to the reference version. By going through the set of such patterns you quickly built up the necessary skills and become proficient in speaking freely the language of your choice.
You can learn practically ANY language, even several at the same time
Technically, the number of available languages is limited only by the number of installed "voice output engines". Usually you have several pre-installed ones (most probably - English, Spanish, French, German, Italian). If you are on Android 2.2 or later you can also easily add third-party engines (for example - SVOX, Loquendo, IVONA).
You can easily manage the themes (set of patterns): download and install NEW ones, CREATE them by yourself, or SHARE them with others
• The simplest way to install new or update themes is to use menu «Install» on the tab «Themes». At the moment, you can install English, Spanish, French and German themes from the 9Spikes repository absolutely FREE.
• You can also create your own themes and share them via email or any other social sharing software installed on your device (Twitter, Facebook, Skype, ICQ, Google drive, etc).
• You always have a full control over the content of a theme as you can change the sentences and translations at any time. Editing is made easy by allowing a simple copy/paste from the clipboard or plain-text files.
You can PRACTICE whenever you have a spare moment, even on the GO
We have several features to help with that:
• earpiece output,
• auto-move to the next sentence.
Important notes:
If you use functions based on the internet services (translation and speech recognition) please keep in mind that their quality strongly depends on the connection speed.
You can find details of using this unique app here:
- Record audio from the microphone in a file
- For "Earpiece output" mode
- Access to the translation service
- Access to the speech recognition service

Surround & conquer: DUOZ lite
The game rules are very simple:
• Start the game and pay attention to the color of the scoreboard with your name.
• Choose a two-colored piece in the set next to the board and then point a free cell on the board, where it should be placed.
• Each piece contains colored elements of both players. Scoreboards reflect numbers of player's colored elements on the board. Players make their moves in turn. Total number of moves is limited.
• You should place pieces so that your colored elements surround the colored elements of the opponent. Surrounded colored elements will be marked with orange circles and excluded from the count. The player with the highest score wins.
The idea of the game is to adapt to the duality of each move. Your main challenge is to break a balance in your favor.
Main features:
• Addictive board strategy game
• Simple rules
• Playing vs. computer or other human

The word [serendipity] was coined by that curious man Sir Horace Walpole, known today (if at all) as one of the founders of the "Gothic" tale of suspense and terror, but more famously in his own time as an especially elegant and proficient writer of letters. In a 1754 letter to a friend he describes his discovery of some curious Venetian coat of arms and pauses to say that "this discovery, indeed, is almost of that kind which I call Serendipity." And then he explains this "very expressive word" of his own invention: "I once read a silly fairy tale, called 'The Three Princes of Serendip'"--Serendip being an old name for Sri Lanka: "as their Highnesses travelled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of... (for you must observe that no discovery of a thing you are looking for comes under this description)." The finding of what one is not looking for will be the element of the letter most obviously relevant to what I've been saying so far; but equally important is the phrase "by accidents and sagacity," or, as Walpole puts it later in the same letter, "accidental sagacity."
From The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction by Alan Jacobs.
Good one for "Words"! I learn something serendipitally (?) almost every day on the internet!

When we'll have a demo or something to experience gameplay?
The World 2 is an MMORPG that allows players the chance to fight the meanest, baddest, and biggest bosses in gaming from the moment they enter the game in a 3D destructible arena. Players will no longer have to fight smaller enemies and trek long hours to get to a raid boss like in most MMORPGs. Our company, We Are Good Games, lets the gamer fight either alone or with friends and others via Wi-Fi and mobile networks with their choice of over 30 heroes. Their group will have over 80 different bosses to deal with on the mobile phone or tablet device. The game is set to be released in December of this year as a Free to Play game.

When we'll have a demo or something to experience gameplay?
Hi, I have a question too.... will the game be released on consoles?
I saw PlayStation Network and Xbox Live badges in the end of the videos, and will be nice if the game be released there too, but I would really like if you could release the game on Wii U as well....
I know it is not cheap to buy a dev kit and code and all, but is there a chance for that to happen?
Yes, we'll be having a single player edition for sure on the PSN and Xbox Live service. We'll see about multiplayer. We already are talking with both groups, so don't worry.
Hi. We'll have an English edition as well as a Chinese edition. We will have servers around the world, so you will be playing mostly with those in the same area as you.
Good luck!!
There i was a question that want to ask.
Does it meaning the game able to use Multi-Language?
Because i have saw some Chinese at the latest screenshot.
Also,If it does,The server will be servers,right?
If not,May certain countries's player will be laggy
on the MH-TYPE gameplay is the thing that we never want to see.
So,Another question that i'm really querying now is this.

The best gets better.
The predecessor to the Sidi Drako SRS Men's Shoe - The Sidi Dragon Shoe - was already one of the most comfortable and successful mountain biking shoes of all time, climbing on top of countless podiums around the world and hanging onto the feet of still more amateurs and semi-pros alike. So why would Sidi tinker so heavily with such a successful formula? Because they could make it even better, and they certainly have with the Drako.
The first big difference comes down to the number 100. That's the number of grams that the Drako loses in comparison to the Dragon. Thank a completely redesigned carbon fiber sole. The sole plate is built into a nylon frame that allows a small but critical amount of flex for comfort and to allow blood flow to prevent foot numbness, without giving up the rigidity necessary for efficient pedaling. Bolted onto that sole are the shoe's treads, which are replaceable, should they wear out - an appreciated feature by Sidi loyalists, because the shoes tend to last for years upon years, thanks to the superb hand assembly of the Lorica microfiber and ballistic mesh components.
Another major upgrade over the Dragon is the Drako's all-new Tecno 3 closure system. Instead of relying on three different closure types, as on the Dragon, the Tecno 3 system is a simple cable system that closes evenly, applying uniform pressure across the foot to prevent pressure points and discomfort. Two individual latches on each shoe provide incredibly precise adjustment of the system, and are also easily accessible while on the bike. Sidi's famous Heel Security System remains, too. With a small allen wrench, the heel cup's width can be adjusted to keep the heel planted, even during extreme efforts, creating not only a more efficient pedal stroke but allowing the rider to loosen up the forefoot closures slightly in the name of comfort without compromising control.
The Sidi Drako SRS Men's Shoe is available in the colors Vernice Black and Vernice White/Black. It comes in full and half sizes ranging from 39.0 to 48.0. Please note that these shoes are intended for use with 2-hole mountain bike cleats. While many pedal manufacturers recommend using a reinforcement plate between the cleat and the shoe to prevent sole damage, the Drako SRS comes equipped with a replaceable cleat wear plate, so the use a reinforcement plate is up to your discretion.

I own these Sidi Drako SRS shoes and would like to know if there is an adapter for Look Delta Cleats (two holes to three holes)?
I also own the Sidi Vent EU LTD Edition and Sidi Vent US Version and love the fit / stability.
Thanks in advance
Great shoe except for the sole
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
This shoe is amazing in terms of the fit and comfort. However, the outsole is extremely soft. After 1 ride with a little bit of hike a bike the front sole piece was half chewed away. I had to put some football cleats in the front cleat mounts to save the rest. Especially since the replacements outsoles are only sold in full sets.

Drako's on my Feet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I am completely ga-ga for these shoes. Long story short, I have raced them in cyclocross, ridden them in the mud, the dust, and on the road. The fit is true to size, as I wear a 41 and that holds true for 80% of my shoes. I love the wire technology, they are extremely comfortable, clean up from mud rather nicely, and in my opinion, hold true to SIDI's reputation of quality.

Great pic, Sarah!

Great Shoes!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have tried almost every shoe brand out there and have always been disappointed. These shoes are expensive, but are very durable and the wear parts can be replaced a plus. Always a perfect fit right out of the box.
not worth the coin
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had these since May and they are very comfortable but they do not hold up. Thank god the tread on these is WAY too soft and had to replaced very soon into having them. the Teckno 3 System is good but after six months one buckle doesn't perform well and needs to be replaced. Save you money and get something else
this little piggy cried wee wee wee...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
I wear 45.5 for my sidi spiders and ergo 3s, but not the drakos. The toe guard on the Drako does not flex at all. I can wear them, but it would be pretty painful after an hour or so. Consider sizing up. Otherwise the shoes are pretty impressive.

Great Shoe, Carbon Sole Takes a Beating
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love the look and fit of the shoe. It is a very stiff shoe, but also comfortable. The only disappointment is the that there is is no mid-sole protector like on the Spider or Dragon. The carbon fiber gets pretty scratched up from walking on the trail.
Will do you restocking in a size 43.5...
Will do you restocking in a size 43.5 Vernice Black?

Hey Peter,
We have stock in 43.5 for the Vernice Black, but for the Vernice Black/Yellow we will not be getting any more in.

Excellent comfort and fit!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have a relatively slim foot and normally a EU41. But as you may have read elsewhere you may need to go up a size in the SIDI's. I did. I ended up getting a EU42 and they fit perfectly. I was a bit dubious about the Techno 3 closure before getting them but it works really, really well. And you're able to dial them down to a nice firm fit without discomfort. I'm not sure how they will hold up over time but they are going well so far. Love'm!

that shoe is so good.

I comapre giro mtb shoe is not good at all. SIDi shoe is the best.I test that shoe is so good
Not worth the money

Buy the Giro Code and save your money. These lasted one season. Great looking show but that's about it.

Don't buy griro code shoe. Sidi shoe is the best.

Sidi Drako SRS Men's Shoes
Same Sidi I've grown to love
I purchased a pair of Sidi Mtb. shoes back in the late 90's which I still use from time to time and have not worn out yet. I purchased another brand of cycling shoe that was supposed to be good as well and after a year of wear they are already falling apart. I decided to shell out the big bucks for the Sidi Drako SRS shoes and I'm glad I did. They fit my feet like a glove, they're light and appear durable. The only complaint I have is that the glossy black is a little on the flashy side. I'd have preferred a matt black. Perhaps after some good hard use they'll dull down a bit.
Game changer
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've been a super fan of SIDI forever. They've always had the best fit and performance. The only thing I didnt like was the weight... This is all changed now with the new wire system. I'm not sure how cycling shoes could get any better!

The 'terrible mistake' was the contemporary utilitarian philosophy, expounded in Hard Times (1854) as the Philosophy of Fact by the hard-headed disciplinarian Thomas Gradgrind. But the novel, Dickens's shortest, is more than a polemical tract for the times; the tragic story of Louisa Gradgrind and her father is one of Dickens's triumphs. When Louisa, trapped in a loveless marriage, falls prey to an idle seducer, the crisis forces her father to reconsider his cherished system. Yet even as the development of the story reflects Dickens's growing pessimism about human nature and society, Hard Times marks his return to the theme which had made his early works so popular: the amusements of the people. Sleary's circus represents Dickens's most considered defence of the necessity of entertainment, and infuses the novel with the good humour which has ensured its appeal to generations of readers.
Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Landport, Portsea, England. He died in Kent on June 9, 1870. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know not only hunger and privation,but also the horror of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. A turn of fortune in the shape of a legacy brought release from the nightmare of prison and "slave" factories and afforded Dickens the opportunity of two years' formal schooling at Wellington House Academy. He worked as an attorney's clerk and newspaper reporter until his Sketches by Boz (1836) and The Pickwick Papers (1837) brought him the amazing and instant success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. In later years, the pressure of serial writing, editorial duties, lectures, and social commitments led to his separation from Catherine Hogarth after twenty-three years of marriage. It also hastened his death at the age of fifty-eight, when he was characteristically engaged in a multitude of work.

Solar-powered underwater robot inspired by the sunfish
Previously, we've seen swimming robots inspired by the cow-nosed ray, the black ghost knife fish, and the jellyfish – to name just a few.

It would definitely be an understatement to say that underwater research has its technical challenges. Remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) must be tethered to surface support vessels with unwieldy communications cables, deep-sea water samples have to be hauled to the surface for analysis ... or do they?

Sometime in the future, perhaps sometime soon, the robotic jellyfish, octopi and fish cruising the world's oceans may have to make way for one other companion – the robotic ray. A team led by University of Virginia engineering professor Hilary Bart-Smith has created such a "creature," in hopes that its autonomously-operated descendants may someday help us humans explore and study the sea, or possibly perform surveillance for the military.

Users also retain access to the iPhone's camera for underwater shots and on the software side, the SE-35 is offered with a complementary app which features navigation tools and torch, in addition to an automatic dive log.

In addition to human divers equipped with sonar cameras, the U.S. Navy has also trained dolphins and sea lions to search for bombs on and around vessels. All these methods are expensive and can't always deliver the best performance in all environments.

Now researchers at MIT have developed new algorithms to vastly improve the navigation and feature-detecting capabilities of these robots. Read More

The world's first underwater nightclub
Of all the places you might meet a significant other, underwater is probably the last place that springs to mind. Hence, I guess, the novelty of an underwater nightclub. Created as a viral campaign for TechnoMarine Underwater watches, the unique nightclub "launch" was filmed at a military training facility with navy divers and the set was built 14 feet (4 m) underwater. The breathing helmets are from the commercially-available Sea Trek system, so perhaps it's not all that implausible after all. Read More

I bought my first 1911 just a couple weeks ago (Ruger SR1911). It has quickly become my favorite. My short list for what I was looking for was Springfield Loaded and the Ruger. Obviously there's plenty of others to consider.
Drink the Coolaid, love the Coolaid! Government here, Commander there, everywhere an Office(ai)r.
There are way too many options to be able to answer that well. I only own one right now (E-Series SW1911Sc Commander with bobtail), but I've bought and sold a handful. Each one taught me something else I do or don't prefer.
Depending on your budget, just buy a Springfield Loaded, parkerized or stainless, put 500 rounds through her over 2 or 3 range trips. Clean it each time. If you don't like something, it has enough features that you'll have some opinions.
They all sell used at near retail value. You really can't lose much money trying out a solid 1911.

Fitness Interview: Chris Del Bosco
Will This U.S. Olympian
Win Gold For Canada?
Lucky for Del Bosco, a recruiter for the Canadian Ski Cross Team, a new-ish sport often likened to a roller derby on skis and snow (which will make its debut on February 21st at the 2010 Winter Olympics), found out that the troubled athlete had a dual passport thanks to his Canadian-born dad who had come to the States on a hockey scholarship. Saved by his natural talent and a supportive family, Del Bosco grabbed this extraordinary second chance, cut out the booze and pot and trained his way toward victory at the 2010 Winter X Games.
The 27-year-old is now a major contender for the top podium prize at the Vancouver Games. We chatted with the Olympic hopeful on his fitness and diet strategies. Apparently, for the 6-foot-1 Del Bosco, it's all about the poundage. Hopefully, in Vancouver he'll be worth his weight in gold.
del bosco on athleticismWhat's your typical training routine? Is it different now (during the Olympics) than usual?
Once we get into the [winter] season it's travel, race, train, travel, race, train. There's not a whole lot of time. It's just maintenance and recovery. I think what a lot of people miss out on is the recovery part and regeneration. In the summer, we do muscular training. A basic day is: wake up, get some breakfast, go to the gym maybe [for] an hour and a half. That's where I'm doing strength training, like Olympic lifts. It depends on the day. Some days we'll do some agility work and then pretty much every day we'll do some aerobic conditioning. I ride bikes, so there's less impact. I'm a pretty big guy so the running kind of wears on me. I'm just not a runner. I kind of build this aerobic base and then, like I said before, the regeneration is huge — stretching, cold-plunge contrast baths, hot/cold plunge. It makes a huge difference being able to do it day in and day out. I notice if I don't do the full plunge, I'm sore for maybe three or four days after a hard workout.
del bosco on training like an olympianHow does your training change right before the Olympics? Do you up the intensity somehow?
No, I've done most of the hard work in the summer and now it's just kind of maintenance during the season, and we had a little bit of time to get back in and sharpen up a little bit. We'll do a couple sessions just leading up [to the Games] that's just fine-tuning, but it's not a whole lot. If you don't put the work in during the summer, you're not going to be able to make up for it real quick during the Olympics.
Do you have any tips for our readers on how to maximize their training? Is there anything you've learned in your personal experience that has really gotten you amazing results?
Yeah, make a plan. I'd work with a trainer if that's possible — someone who has the experience and who can cater something specifically to you, to your strengths and weaknesses. And just don't look too far down the road. If you need to make a huge improvement, just take it day-by-day. Do what you need to do today and kind of break it down so it's not so overwhelming.
How do you work with your trainer? Do you just follow what he says or do you work together on your plan?
It's kind of a team process. I have a guy that works with the national team [who] writes programs. And then I have a trainer at home [who] helps implement it; he tweaks my program to work on my needs. Overall, it's sort of a basic process that's tailored to me.
the del bosco dietAre you on any type of special diet when you're training?
Um, not really (smiles). I'm pretty lucky. I have a pretty good metabolism and I train a lot, but I definitely try to just eat healthy. When you train really hard there are definitely some supplements that you can take with the recovery. I just do basic protein shakes after my workouts.
More from Chris Del Bosco on his diet and how he's prepared himself to bring home gold at the Vancouver Winter Olympics...
Glutamine is one that helps with buffering lactic acid. I try not to use too much of that stuff though; it's basically protein powders and maybe glutamine.
Do you still have hamburgers and sodas?
Yeah, I do (blushes). I'm not the best. I'm not the model athlete — but I definitely try. I don't think it's healthy to cut everything out and just go super, super healthy if you're not used to it. You can definitely make some changes and kind of limit the bad stuff.
If you could eat healthier, what would you eat?
Well, fast food's probably not the best food you can eat in the world. Definitely fruit and vegetables, [and] meat.
Are there any foods in particular that should be stressed in a diet?
No, I'm lucky. I guess I just try to eat a well-rounded diet — [a] normal diet — [with] well-balanced meals. Not too much. I think an important thing is to have little meals spaced out. When I'm training, I try not to eat huge meals. I try to eat four, five or six little meals just to keep the energy level up.
del bosco on packing on the poundsLooking back on your years of training, what was the single thing that has impacted your progress the most?
For me, it was really about working on my strength training in the gym. I realized that if I could start strong and get out of the gate in front, I could control the race. I had the skiing ability, but did not have the strength to back it up.
How have you focused on strength training to really advance yourself?
Up until three years ago, I basically just relied on my natural ability and never really stepped into the gym. That really only got me so far. I realized that if I wanted to be at the top, I had to add a strength routine into my program. And that has made a huge, huge difference. I started three years ago with the team; I was a 178 pounds. I could barely do a pull-up. And now I'm 215 pounds.
At the press conference just now, Ashleigh McIvor was sitting next to you and she joked that she was worried about the strength of the chair.
Yeah. I can do those pull-ups finally. So, that's pretty cool to just see the improvement. Extra strength translates to faster starts, and injury prevention being strong — and if you crash, being able to bounce back. That's where the strength training really comes in handy.
You were saying how you weren't used to having those fast starts. Do you think that's a direct connection to your improvement?
Oh yeah, totally. I mean, I've always had a good reaction time, but I didn't have the strength to follow through. So now I have everything and it's made a huge difference.
So, one last question: You were talking a little bit about your natural ability and your talent. For someone who doesn't have that, is there a potential to work hard and improve to a level close to yours?
There are definitely examples in every sport of people who might not have had natural talent, but who are willing to work harder than anybody else and that's really what it comes down to — putting in time, working out and remembering to have fun. If you're not having fun, it's not worth doing it.
So, you've been having fun?
Yeah, well. Look at me, I'm at the Olympics.

I don't even know how to describe what I want, but here goes. Assume I have 3 textboxes, and I enter some colour hex code in the first one, I want to apply a black layer on top of it, and have the opacity set to 50% and get the resulting colour in the second text box. Same thing, but with white on the third one.
Let me explain: consider this image below:
In Photoshop, I have the base layer which is sort of sky blue in colour. I create two layers on top of it, one with black, one with white but both have an opacity of 50%. Now, I can use the colour picker (I) to simply select the two wanted colours.
I am having to do this an insane amount of times so I was wondering if I could produce it programatically.
I know, Ideally I should have tried out something, then give out the code which isn't working.. but this has stumped me enough that I don't even know where to start. The closest thing I've seen is Kuler so I think it is possible in flash at least, but then again, I don't know where to start.
Can you guys please point me in the right direction? Ideally, this would be so much better if it's doable in jQuery, but I have looked around and couldn't find anything quite like it. I am not asking for a working solution, just a nudge in the right direction.
If you have any questions, please ask.
Technology is not important to me, solution is - I am most comfortable with c# (at least I like to think I am) but I am a beginner in php, flash. Jquery, I am good at it with most stuff (well, who isn't?) - Whatever works is good to me. Php and Flash, I learnt it as a hobby just to familiarize myself.
Many thanks.

Small plane strikes man on mower at Taylorsville Airport
A plane landing at the Taylorsville Airport Saturday morning hit and seriously injured a man who was mowing the grass landing strip, authorities said.
The accident severed 74-year-old John Rufty's left hand, said Sgt. Brian Owenby of the N.C. State Highway Patrol, who said the pilot of the single-engine plane was not hurt.
The victim was taken by helicopter to Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, according to Russell Greene, director of Alexander County Emergency Services.
The pilot was taxiing eastbound, said Owenby; Rufty was mowing in the same direction, with his back to the plane. The pilot had circled the airport before coming in, but didn't see the mower until the last second, Owenby said, and the impact flipped the plane over onto its top. Greene said the mower also flipped over.
Greene said the pilot was from Tennessee. The pilot has not been identified yet by authorities.
Greene said the National Transportation Safety Board had been notified about the accident.

I've been puzzling over this:How does adding an extension tube affect the magnification ratio of the lens? Does it mean that if I were to add a 50mm tube to a lens at a focal length of 50mm(zoom, prime), my magnification ratio is 2:1 regardless of the lens's magnification ratio?Hope I have worded the question correctly.
The general thumb rule for calculating magnification with extension tubes is magnification = extension distance/lens focal length. This assumes that the lens is not reversed. So in answer to your question, a 50mm lens with 50mm of extension will give you 1:1. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but experience tells me that the magnification ratio of the lens will affect this somewhat, since I only need 27.5mm of extension with my 55mm micro lens (which is capable of going 1:2 on its own) to get 1:1.tad
Extension tube focal length divided by lens focal length. A 25mm tube and a 50mm lens would create a slide with an image of the subject which is half the actual size of the subject. Since this is a universal formula, I believe it applies to infinity focus set on the lens. Somewhere in your house right now there is probably a ruler with a metric scale, even if you live in the US. With your setup in place on the camera, set the lens to infinity and bring the ruler into focus. The number of millimeters across from left to right in the viewfinder gives you an idea of the magnification relative to the 36mm length of the film frame. Remember to allow for the area the viewfinder shows. In other words, if your camera has a 90% viewfinder coverage, expect to see about 32-33mm at 1:1.---scott
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."Pablo Picasso
Another good method that I've heard for judging magnification ratio is to use a US quarter. The size of a US quarter almost is exactly 36mm across (most people are more likely to have a quarter in their pocket that a small ruler ). 1:1 - quarter will fill the frame, 1:2 - 2 quarters next to each other will fill the frame (top to bottom), etc
Joseph D. CookNampa, Idaho, USAMy profile
Thanks, Scott. I had forgotten that the thumb rule applies at infinity focus. That would explain why the 55mm micro only needs 27.5mm of additional extension to go 1:1. When the lens is set at its closest focus (a reproduction ratio of 1:2) the extension has taken place internal to the lens.

SNEAK PEEK: The New York Times Releases Excerpt from "Forcing the Spring"
April 16, 2014 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Annie Kehler, HRC Communications Intern
Today The New York Times' award-winning investigative journalist Jo Becker released a preview of her intensive reporting on the fight for marriage equality. As the feature story of The New York Times Magazine, "How the President got to "I Do" on Same-Sex Marriage" explores country's evolution on marriage equality and the integral role HRC President Chad Griffin plays in moving the conversation forward.
The story is a precursor to Becker's book, Forcing the Spring: Inside the Fight for Marriage Equality, which follows the marriage equality movement from the beginnings of the challenge to Proposition 8 in California, all the way to the Supreme Court Decision against the Defense of Marriage Act. The book will be released on April 22, but is available for pre-order now.
In the piece, Becker recalls the pivotal conversations between Griffin and Vice President Biden that ultimately lead to Biden's public support of marriage equality.
"Sitting in his West Wing office more than a year and a half later, the vice president told me that he could still picture that day "like it was 10 minutes ago."
"It was one of the most poignant questions I had ever been asked in my life," Biden said. "It ranks up there with when this little girl in Afghanistan was looking at me about two weeks after the Taliban fell, and I was in Kabul, and she looked at me with those beautiful hazel eyes. And I said, 'Well, I have to leave now.' And she said: 'You can't. You can't. America can't leave. I want to be a doctor.' "
Griffin was standing against the wall at the Los Angeles gathering, Biden recalled, when he looked at him and said, essentially, " 'Well, let me just ask you, Mr. Vice President, what do you think of us?' And it was like, wow, whoa."
Stay tuned to the HRC Blog throughout the week as we continue to dive into Forcing the Spring. And to preorder Becker's groundbreaking book, click here.

a modern approach to creationism
Expand Messages
- group,
as you all are probably aware Stephen Jones doesn't seem to like young
earth creationists much. I base this one the way he attacks the views
of YEC proponents almost as enthusiastically as he does evolution. The
question is why? After all its all creation, they all have a common
goal (to defeat naturalistic science.)
What creationists don't tell you is that there are some really major
controversies surrounding progressive creationism. Progressive
creationism boasts greater compatibility with modern science, it
accomplishes this by casting aside some long held doctrines of the
Christian church. Most conservative Christian churches that adhere to
the YEC doctrine hold Progressive Creation to be about as Christian as
atheistic evolution itself.
What is Progressive Creationism? Basically PCers accept that the Earth
can be billions-of-years old. How do they reconcile this with the six
days of creation in the Bible? They change the meaning of "day" in
the creation account - from a single rotation of the Earth, to a long,
indefinite period of time (perhaps hundreds of millions of years each).
What happened during these long periods? Not all Progressive
Creationists agree. Their opinions often hinge on whether they have a
theologically liberal bent, or a conservative bent. The more liberal
picture God as doing relatively little in the way of actual creative
acts during the supposed billions of years of creation. God simply
steps-in now and then, to create new life forms. The more conservative
Progressive Creationists present God as doing many more creative
miracles. That is, God creates the world in numerous progressive
steps. That is why this belief is called "Progressive Creation" or
"Process Creation." In reality PC is little more than theistic
evolution, with a lot less evolution occurring.
Although there is little widespread agreement among Progressive
Creationists, they generally believe the following:
1 The "Big Bang" is interpreted as God's way of producing stars and
galaxies through billions-of-years of natural processes.
2 The Earth and universe are billions of years old.
3 The days of Creation were overlapping periods of millions and
billions of years.
4 Death and bloodshed have existed from the very beginning of
Creation and were not the result of Adam's sin. Man was created after
the vast majority of earth's history of life and death had already
taken place.
5 The flood of Noah was local, not global and it had little affect on
the Earth's geology which represents billions of years of history.
Here is an interesting article that discusses some of the points of
contention between YEC and Progressive creation. The biggest ones of
course being over sin and death not being the fault of Adam, and the
whole Noah's ark thing.
John T. Baldwin
Associate Professor of Systematic Theology
Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary
Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan
This statement is from Steven Jones. I think he has too high an
opinion of PC. I have my doubts that he could defend it from
scientific or biblical criticisms. Although Pc is the best attempt (an
attempt ultimatily doomed to failure) to bridge the gaps between
science and biblical creationism, I seriously doubt most
anti-evolutionist Christians will want to hear it.
