Remembering The People's Throat Singer Of Tuva
Originally published on Fri August 9, 2013 11:57 am
The technique known as throat singing is an ancient style still practiced in Tuva, a small republic between Siberia and Mongolia's Gobi desert. Traditionally, it was practiced by herders.
In 1995, Kongar-Ol Ondar won a U.N.-sponsored international festival of throat stinging, and was honored by his nation with the title People's Throat Singer of Tuva. He performed around the world and collaborated with Ry Cooder, The Chieftains, Mickey Hart, Willie Nelson, Randy Scruggs and others. He was also featured in the 1999 film Genghis Blues. Ondar died July 25 from complications after a brain hemorrhage. He was 51.
In 1999, Ondar demonstrated his singing for Fresh Air host Terry Gross. Because he didn't speak English, Back Tuva Future co-producer Ralph Leighton joined Ondar in the studio to translate.
This is FRESH AIR. Earlier this week, we were sorry to learn of the death of Kongar-Ol Ondar, an internationally renowned Tuvan throat singer and a superstar in his own country. He died July 25th at the age of 51 from complications after a brain hemorrhage.
The first time I heard him on FRESH AIR, I went out and bought every CD of his that I could find. He was known as Ondar, and he sounded like this:
KONGAR-OL ONDAR: (Singing in foreign language)
BIANCULLI: The technique - known as throat singing - is an ancient style still practiced in Tuva - a small republic between Siberia and Mongolia's Gobi desert. Traditionally, it was practiced by herders.
Ondar won a U.N.-sponsored international festival of throat singing and was honored by his nation with a title: People's Throat Singer of Tuva. He performed around the world and collaborated with Ry Cooder, The Chieftains, Mickey Hart, Willie Nelson, Randy Scruggs and others. He was also featured in the 1999 film "Genghis Blues."
In 1999, Ondar demonstrated his singing for Terry Gross. Because he didn't speak English, with Ondar in the studio was Ralph Leighton, who co-produced Ondar's CD, "Back Tuva Future." He told Terry how Ondar learned throat singing.
RALPH LEIGHTON: When he was a child, he would visit the Yurt villages where his relatives herded their animals. And in the evening they would sit around the fire, and he heard a particular uncle singing in this way. And through hearing this over and over, Ondar said that this type of singing got into his blood.
There's different kinds of Tuvan and throat singing. And I was wondering if we could ask Ondar to perform. You know, to kind of demonstrate those styles for us. And in part, because I think it's so hard for us Westerners to imagine making those sounds. They're so different from the kind of singing that Westerners do. So demonstration would be great. Can we start with a style called; I think I'm pronouncing it right, Khoomei?
LEIGHTON: Sure. You could think of them as high, medium and low if you want. I mean they're just arbitrary words, really. The Khoomei style is actually a three note style; you're starting right at the top you. And what you can listen for in this is a drone note that's going to be a constant note. And then you'll hear a melody much higher that is moving around up in the registers where one normally whistles but it's really a harmonic. And then the third note, if you really concentrate, you can hear a rhythmic syncopation suggesting riding on horseback and that's an octave above the low notes. So you're going to get three notes at once in the Khoomei style.
ONDAR: (Singing Khoomei Style)
GROSS: Wow.
GROSS: Ondar, thank you very much for that performance.
ONDAR: (Foreign language spoken)
GROSS: Ralph, can you explain at all how this is done technically?
LEIGHTON: I can try, but I would like to point out that in Tuva, the culture encourages this. The culture encourages people to sing in this way, producing several notes at the same time, so children are able to pick it up. You know, children over here could pick it up if the culture around them encouraged it. I observed this in my own son. When the Tuvan throat singers would come through town, in a matter of a couple of weeks, you know, two, three-year-old kid is starting to make overtones with formal instructions, it's just that he's around it. So if you ask Ondar how he does it, he says I just do it. But when I try to learn it that I have to think about what I'm doing and in this case, you just starts out a little bit like the Wolf Man Jack. That's the first thing you have to do is tighten your throat. And then for this particular Khoomei style, you make a kind of a ooh sound.
RALPH LEIGHTON: That's about as far as I've gotten in about five years.
LEIGHTON: It's a lot of fun. And, in fact, a lot of fun is also in developing your hearing. So you could listen to a CD of throat singing over and over and you'll hear more and more as you study it.
GROSS: More and more of those overtones?
LEIGHTON: That's right.
GROSS: Yeah. Well, let's get to another style of Tuvan throat singing. And this is called Sygyt.
LEIGHTON: Sure. Sygyt is the highest style and this one is on the CD "Two Lands, One Tribe." It's the introduction to a song that Ondar sings with the American Indian singer-songwriter Bill Miller. And this one has special significance to me because last fall in the newspapers, there was a report from a Russian geneticist was going around Siberia looking for similarities between Siberian peoples and American Indian tribes. And the highest correlation - 70 percent - was found in Western Tuva where Ondar comes from. So...
ONDAR: Seventy-five percent.
LEIGHTON: OK, 75 percent.
LEIGHTON: See, Ondar speaks more English than he will admit to. So in Ondar's view, the American Indians are a lost tribe of Tuvans. And this is the style and the song that Ondar sang to Bill Miller.
ONDAR: (Singing in foreign language)
GROSS: That's wonderful. Wow. You know, I can't help but wonder what that does to the throat. Like how much of the singing is actually in the throat. Like, in Western singing, singers are encouraged to get the voice out of the throat and higher into the head so it just resonates on the bones and doesn't hurt the throat. Does this hurt the throat, this kind of singing?
LEIGHTON: Not so much, but I should say Ondar's face turned completely red. It was like he was choking himself a little bit voluntarily. They restrict the air passage through the throat. It's like holding your breath and just letting out the tiniest bit of air. And he does get headaches sometimes but this may be related to his general high blood pressure.
There's a lot of mystery to this. There's a folklore that in Tuva throat singers die early, but this hasn't been backed up scientifically. It is very, very strenuous, that's for sure. His neck muscles are extremely strong. And you see this blood vessel on the side of his neck practically popping out when he does this because the key is you've got to tighten up your throat to make a narrow, narrow little slit through which the tone comes out.
And then your mouth makes the overtones. A little bit like when you're playing a Jew's harp. That's...
GROSS: Mm-hmm.
LEIGHTON: ... a somewhat way of managing overtones.
GROSS: Is there any improvisation in the singing that Ondar is doing? Or are these songs that are passed down?
LEIGHTON: They are songs that are passed down, but what will happen is there's a lyrical line where he'll say, you know, (singing) I don't know if it'll come out or not but I'll just give it my best shot. Ahoo. (speaking) And then he takes off. And then the rest of the line where the harmonics come in, that's all improvised. He says when he sings that he takes off and flies.
GROSS: Well, Ralph Leighton, I want to thank you very much for talking with us. And Ondar, let me thank you again. I wish we could've spoken. I wish I could speak Tuvan so we could've communicated more, but your music was extraordinary and I thank you very much for performing it.
ONDAR: (Speaking foreign language)
LEIGHTON: (Speaking foreign language)
ONDAR: OK. Thank you.
BIANCULLI: Ondar and Ralph Leighton with Terry Gross in 1999. Their collaboration on CD is called "Back Tuva Future." Ondar died last month at age 51. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Read More
Buyin Guide
A Router or a switch, which do you need? And of course you might ask what's the difference between the two. They are similar in their basic jobs, routing traffic on your network, but routers are more specialized with many more features integrated within them.
There was a time when devices like these could only be found in offices and businesses but with the proliferation of broadband internet you can find them in most homes today that have internet access. These devices allow several computers or other network enabled components to share a single internet connection, and of course allow you to create your own personal network as well.
Routers can provide increased security through built-in firewalls, DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocols which is basically the automatic assignment of IP addresses to anything hooked to the router, and of course other features that can be specific to the brand/model of router purchased.
Many companies include features specific to their own line of products as well, like a gaming specific router that is made to be used with consoles or PC gaming, for a lower latency or latency free gaming experience.
Now, Network Switches do the same thing as routers, but just don't have all of the features you'd find in a router, they basically just move the traffic through the network, they do however have the ability to figure out what traffic goes where on your network, so it works more efficiently than a network hub will.
With the ever increasing popularity of wireless devices, many routers now come with an access point integrated into them, this allows you to setup your own wireless network. This network can be public or private, basically you can allow anyone to access your internet if you wish, but it's strongly advised against doing so. Having a wireless network is a very nice feature as you don't have to rely on cables and you won't have to run cable through your house or building. I love my wireless network as I can go anywhere in my house, or even outside, and have a connection to the internet. It's this freedom that has contributed to the popularity of wireless networks, and for good reason it's very convenient to go without wires, it allows us to be more productive and gives us a lot of freedom of movement.
When you've decided that it's time to build your own network you'll have to decide a few things before you know which device you'll need.
Personally I feel switches are not as secure as routers, they're fine for private networks, or LANs (local area networks) but I'm not sure if I'd want to use one as my networks main gateway to the world wide web. Sure you can use a switch and a router together if need be, a switch is a great product to use behind your router to connect more devices to your network but still have access to the internet for those devices.
The things you need to consider when buying a Switch or Router:
How many devices do you need to attach to your network?
Routers and Switches comes with varying numbers of ports, of course though if most of your devices are wireless capable then it's not a big decision as you can use an infinite number of wireless devices on a wireless network. For the most part Switches are usually hard wired, but you can purchase wireless switches, though they usually cost quite a bit of money and are normally reserved for businesses or corporations.
Wired or Wireless?
This sort of fits with the above question, but it does deserve a separate section. Do you really need a wireless router? My advice is yes, even if you have no devices that are WIFI enabled, they don't cost much more than a non-wireless version and it'll save you from having to buy a new one later when you do get WIFI capability.
What features do you need?
This is kind of more for the advanced users, but you have to ask yourself what features do you need? This pertains more to routers than switches but it can apply there as well. As I mentioned above some routers are specifically made for gaming but they can be optimized for HD Video Streaming or even feature extended range for the wireless.
Do you need an integrated modem?
Often times when you get cable internet or DSL they'll give you a modem, which of course you pay for or rent from them, this will add to the overall expense and add yet another device in your house. If you get a router with integrated modem you could save yourself some money in the long run, and have one less piece of hardware to worry about.
This pertains to wireless specifically. How far do you want to be able to get from your router? Wireless routers vary differently in their ranges from company to company. Some include extra antennas as well to lengthen the range, and make the quality of the signal better.
One thing to know about routers and their features is that oftentimes they are company specific. Some companies advertise extended range etc for the wireless, but it only if you use their products together, for example their router and their wireless PCI card must be used together to achieve the advertised speeds, but this is usually in fine print somewhere not easily noticeable. It's sort of deceiving, but that's marketing for you!
You've got many choices when it comes to routers and switches, I would highly suggest buying from a well known and reputable company, not only for the quality of the products but for the support as well. If you've got a popular product chances are help will be very easy to find from the manufacturer or elsewhere on the internet.
Most manufacturers keep up with support very well in the form of firmware updates to enable more features and functionality in their products, so if you've got a problem check to see if you've got the latest firmware installed, many time products will ship with outdated firmware, updating the firmware will solve most problems people encounter.
Obviously I can recommend looking around for reviews and ratings of the product you finally decide to purchase, you can learn quite a a bit from the reviews and average peoples experiences with products.

- How to Read a Study Record
The proposed research study aims to conduct a culturally-based secondary prevention intervention targeted toward HIV-positive Black young men who have sex with men (B-YMSM) to explore (1) feasibility and acceptability (Trial 1 and Trial 2) and (2) evidence of potential efficacy (Trial 2). The primary outcomes will be health promotion behaviors (i.e., treatment adherence, sexual risk reduction, reduction in substance use behaviors, and HIV status disclosure). Psychosocial factors (i.e. self-esteem, critical consciousness, and socio-political awareness) will be examined as secondary outcomes.

Official Title: | Testing a Secondary Prevention Intervention for HIV-Positive Black Young Men Who Have Sex With Men |
- Finalize and manualize a critical consciousness based intervention for HIV positive B-YMSM [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To finalize and manualize Mobilizing Our Voices for Empowerment (MOVE) resulting in an intervention with evidence of potential efficacy in reducing sexual risk and substance use behaviors and promoting treatment adherence and HIV status disclosure, as well as self-esteem, critical consciousness, and socio-political awareness. At the same time a non-critical consciousness intervention Health 4 Life (H4L) which will be used as comparison will also be finalized and manualized. H4L is primarily a health promotion and life skills intervention for HIV-positive B-YMSM.

Active Comparator: H4L Comparison Intervention |
Behavioral: H4L Comparison Intervention
Health 4 Life (H4L) is a comparison intervention which will serve as the basis of comparison for Mobilizing Our Voices for Empowerment (MOVE), the treatment intervention. H4L will be a health promotion and life skills intervention to account for time and attention.
Experimental: MOVE Intervention |
Behavioral: MOVE Intervention
MOVE involves four sessions. Sessions 1 and 2 occur over a two-day time frame and are each one day long (approximately 8 hours in length). They will: lay the groundwork for the intervention; provide HIV and other sexual health-related information; introduce critical consciousness; Sessions 1 and 2 will begin the enhancement of critical consciousness and the action-reflection-action cycle. Sessions 3 and 4 are also one-day sessions each (approximately 8 hours in length) and will be administered at one month intervals following the completion of sessions 1 and 2. These sessions will be used to provide continued enhancement of critical consciousness and guided support, feedback, and social reinforcement for behavior change and self-efficacy related to increasing health-promoting behaviors and reducing HIV-related health risk behaviors.

First, the protocol team will finalize the development and manualization of Health 4 Life (H4L) a comparison intervention, which will serve as the basis of comparison for Mobilizing Our Voices for Empowerment (MOVE), the treatment intervention. H4L will be a health promotion and life skills intervention to account for time and attention. Following this the protocol team will then implement Trial 1. In this trial, the intervention specialist and a "peer buddy" (intervention co-facilitator) from one AMTU will conduct one wave of both MOVE and H4L. The team will then conduct an analysis of the process data and revise the two interventions (MOVE and H4L). Upon revising the interventions, the protocol team will implement Trial 2. In this trial, the protocol co-chairs and the interventionist from Trial 1 will train interventionists and peer buddies from four new AMTUs; these interventionists and peer buddies will run the revised MOVE and H4L interventions. Each site will be designated as either a treatment or comparison site, and they will conduct two waves of their assigned intervention. The team at that time will conduct data analyses and then modify and manualize the final version of MOVE and H4L.

We're moving!
The Whitney is closed in preparation for the opening of our new building downtown on May 1, 2015.
Explore the buildingFor this roundtable discussion, scholars Joachim Pissarro and Thomas Crow, along with curator Barbara Haskell, explore the artist Robert Indiana in the context of his contemporaries. On the occasion of Robert Indiana: Beyond LOVE, this program addresses Indiana's early roots, the proliferation of his signature image LOVE, and his engagement with political and allegorical topics. Despite Indiana's bold, simple visual vocabulary, his work reveals underlying themes of American identity, racial injustice, and disillusion. Placing Indiana in the art world alongside contemporaries like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist, this program explores the complexity of his astoundingly diverse oeuvre and reevaluates his place in art history.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (9/4/13) – "This isn't college any more, you need to learn how to cook."
I've been told this by several people lately. At first, I was a little caught off guard, but I know I'm far from the girl that brings the elaborate cake she was slaving away making all day to the bake sale. If you need me to bring an item to a party, you're going to get break-and-bake cookies; I just don't have the money for any lawyer fees defending your food poisoning charges.
First of all, I think I missed the lesson in elementary school when I was "supposedly" taught measuring skills. Don't get me wrong, I had great teachers growing up, I guess I was just noticeably absent from all practical math lessons. A fourth of a cup quickly becomes a half cup, because I don't typically like to follow recipes. Also, it takes so long to prepare, cook, and clean-up that I just usually go the easiest route.
I can't continue to be the lazy chef that I am and live on the meals that I do. I'm a very picky eater to begin with, so when I find something I like, I'll never try anything else, ever. Just to give you a little picture of what eat (It's a little embarrassing), I'll give you my top 5 most often made meals:
1) Oatmeal: Notice I started off somewhat healthy. To me, oatmeal is cheap and fast way to get some nutrients. What nutrients? I couldn't tell you.
2) Cereal: I know what you're thinking, "I thought you were listing your most often eaten meals." To me, cereal is a meal. It can be eaten at any time of the day and depending on which cereal you choose, it can be somewhat healthy. I think I'm trying to convince myself honestly.
3) Beeforoni: Chef Boyardee has been an established Chef since the beginning of time. Myself, I've been eating this meal with a peanut butter sandwich since my diaper days, no need to stop now.
4) The Peanut Butter Sandwich: You can't argue with me that this meal isn't America's favorite. I was recently told that other people put jelly on their peanut butter sandwich…yeah, no thanks.
5) The Grilled Cheese Sandwich: It's my go to. A "three" or "four" on my effort scale to actually make this meal, but so worth it.
Okay, so basically, housewife I am not. I'm barely surviving. I'm slowly incorporating new things into my diet, but it's taking some time. I don't easily try new foods, but trying new things seems to be my specialty these days. So, if you have any fast, easy, and healthy alternative recipes to the meals I have been eating, I would like to try them. You can send me your recipes for a post-grad lifestyle, and I will try them and you might even be featured on SurfKY. You can email them to:

I'm after a pair of pod mounted motors to go on the sides of Seaquel 5, something about the size of a Mabuchi 380. Must be complete with pods and more or less ready to install. I need them to be able to swivel about 45 degrees and preferably independently controlled.
Any ideas as to where I can obtain a couple?

Lol - or haystack or even bed or kitchen floor ... it wouldn't matter really, I'd just rather not know!
My parents thought it was a HILARIOUS party trick to have people ask why I was named Shasta and have little 5-year-old me says "I was conceived there." It became such a routine that I never even thought about it. I do vaguely remember being a tiny bit freaked out when I realized what conceived meant, but I have only seen my parents in a room together twice in my entire life so I have absolutely no opportunity for a visual in my head, thank god!
Most people I know call me Champ,only my family and work colleagues call me Paul.It sometimes feels weird when someone calls me Paul
I don't have my real name posted for a reason. I like to make that known on my own time.
Most people don't remember it because "Lily" has trumped most everything else. Even when some people know my first name, they STILL calll me "Lily".
Go figure.
People like to call me Jo or Johanna here, depends but I am fine with both or just my username Jojo

Canadian day trippers to the U.S. in the Thousand Islands region are on the rise, according Statistics Canadas latest border crossings breakdown.
Compared with 2011, some 30,551 more Canadians in the Thousand Islands area made day visits to the U.S. last year from January through November, a 9 percent increase, according to Statistics Canada.
Furthermore, border data show that one-night stays increased by an even larger margin a good sign not only for area lodging operations but for retailers, restaurants and other tourism-related businesses.
From January through November, one overnights went up by approximately 38 percent over 2011 to an estimated 109,708 people.
Gary S. DeYoung, executive director of the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council, said he suspects most of the increase comes from Canadian shoppers to the greater Watertown and Syracuse areas who have more spare cash to spend as North Americas economy improves.
The favorable exchange rate, which puts the value of Canadian and U.S. dollars roughly on par, certainly doesnt hurt either, he said.
I dont think were going to see the same rate of growth in following years. But, hopefully, well be able to hold the numbers were getting, Mr. DeYoung said.
The challenge in the years to come would be to get more of these Canadian shoppers to spend time at local restaurants, wineries, ski slopes and other tourist attractions, he said.
Mr. DeYoung said the tourism council has been promoting the region heavily in Ottawa and eastern Ontario. In addition to its regular summer promotions, the council has been making a greater effort to attract more visitors in the fall since 2009.
The number of Thousand Islands region Canadians who spent two or more nights on the U.S. side of the border also grew by 7 percent to 677,133 people.
However, Mr. DeYoung said, its hard to determine whether these travelers ended up staying in Northern New York or were simply en route to somewhere else.
Overall visitation increased 10 percent from roughly 1.1 million to 1.2 million. On the flip side, the number of Americans arriving in Canada went up only by 3,659 people, a 1 percent increase over 2011.

I get your point, but going just a -little- deeper to analyze the results (beyond "shocking!") would do a great service.
Imagine this instead:
Sure, developers could run PTS, but to be honest, most fs devels I know don't think the PTS filesystem tests are worth a warm pile of spit. And I say that as nicely as I can. FS developers certainly do run relevant benchmarks before pushing.The ext4, xfs, and btrfs results were much, much, slower than ext3, but that is due to the extra data integrity measures they employ, critical for databases. When we spoke with the developers of these filesystems, we learned that this is largely only needed when a volatile write cache is present in the storage, and when that is not the case (for example, with a battery backed raid cache, or reliable UPS), barriers may be safely disabled to enhance the speed. To verify this, we re-tested with this tuning, and here are the results:
I'm hoping to go through some of the PTS tests and make suggestions to make them more repeatable & relevant. But for example the "mp3 file encryption" tests which used to be run, as noted over and over, simply do not stress the filesystem.
Really, even the same is likely true for the apache static page serving test; in my testing, the only significant FS activity was writing errors to the error logs.
Another oddity is the iozone 4G read tests; the report is that ext4 is doing 220MB/s on a single sata drive, which is most likely faster than the drive can actually get data off the disk. It may be measuring in-cache performance to some degree. A baseline of the storage performance would go a long ways towards putting results in context. Clearing caches before the read portion would show what the filesystem itself can do. Doing a dataset significantly larger than the system's memory would make it more relevant.
You are right that the tests simply run & report, but there is some onus on the tests to be running things that matter, when the results are presented as they are.
I really would like to see Phoronix be a genuinely useful resource for developers & users alike, but I think there's a ways to go.
Chris Mason have just been interviewed a week ago about btrfs:
Very interesting to hear what goes on behind the scene
Last edited by Louise; 06-30-2009 at 08:08 PM.
The reason that is not done more is the time involved with already being seriously bottlenecked due to the very limited human resources at Phoronix... If you know a way to handle this without incurring additional costs, then it would be done, but I don't have the magic answer yet.
Some of that has to do with satisfying page view requests, but that test, for instance, is no longer used in Phoronix.com filesystem tests.
Actually, I'd be very interested to see how reiser4 compares to other "modern" filesystems. It would seem that it is maintained, although I don't know if it is included in standard distribution kernels, so it may demand more time, which is probably a scarse resource at phoronix. Anyway, recent sources are here: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/p...dward/reiser4/
All further issues aside, I think we can all agree that reiser4 had some interesting technological features, and therefore it would be interesting to see how it compares to the most notable competitors, for example ext4, btrfs and xfs.
Given all the fuzz, I'd like to know whether reiser4 is significantly worse, comparable, or significantly better than the others. What better way is there to find out than to simply look at benchmark results ?
ext2/3 suffer dealing with large object. this can be large files, or directories with large numbers of files in them.
as an extreme example of this
create a directory
create 100,000 files in that directory
time how long it takes to do a ls of that directory
time how long it takes to do a rm * of that directory
time how long it takes to do a ls of this now empty directory
create a single file in this directory
time how long it takes to do a ls of that directory
time how long it takes to do a rm * (or rm filename)
now do the same thing with other filesystems.
I know that XFS is pretty good at this. I haven't tried ext4 yet, but I saw some things recently that make me think that it will do better, but still have problems.
you don't have to go all the way up to 100,000 files to see a problem, I first noticed it on mail spools with 10,000 files in them
the article mentions these tests were done bone stock... btrfs does consitency checking by default. there are nehalem optimizations, but otherwise they're a pretty big cpu hit. it'd be valuable to also show results with consistency checking turned off, for comparison sake.
rm is VERY fast on ext4. i did not see so many differences when mainly reading, but delete is faster.

Top Definition
Noun : A spontaneous instance or episode of property destruction with no apparent motivation other than boredom, especially in, but not limited to those cases where unusual or creative methods of destruction or property have been utilised. The word was invented while walking past a popular illegal dumping site, when a car's discarded disc brake caliper was used to destroy an also discarded vacuum cleaner. The ownership of the property is not important, as some episodes of rimblitism may involve the destruction of one's own property. Rimblitism is not strictly vandalism, in that vandalism sometimes carries connotations of motive, but it could be argued that riblitism is simply a specific form of vandalism. A particularly creative instance of rimblitism is sometimes referred to as riblitastic.
The adjective form is rimblistic.
The adjective form is rimblistic.
Upon spotting the steering wheel lying on the ground, and without so much as a thought, he hurled it full pace at the microwave oven. This act of rimblitism left the microwave in a dire state.

This cologne can be very expensive and sometimes hard to find but getting it from FragranceNet made it very affordable and easy to buy. I got a great price on it and I got it in a couple days. I've purchased this cologne 3 times now from them. Very pleased all around!!

Introduction | Canon EF24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens performance | Canon EF24-70mm f/4L IS USM versus competition | Conclusion |
Taking the overall DxOMark score of 19, we can see that the lens is not an especially high performer in terms of overall image quality. However, looking at the scores in detail, we can see where the lens fall down.
Starting with the sharpness score, a rating of 13P-Mpix when attached to an EOS 5D Mark II is not that high when the nominal rating of the camera is 21P-Mpix. However, to put this into context, it is expected that zoom lenses will score lower than prime lenses due to the increased complexity in manufacture and the extra compromises required in lens design. Even the high scoring Canon EF70-200mm f/2.8L II IS USM lens only managed a sharpness score of 18P-Mpix when attached to an EOS-1Ds Mark III, a camera with a very similar nominal resolution.
Although the score itself is not that high, the main issue with the sharpness is the lack of homogeneity cross the frame. At all focal lengths when shooting at the maximum aperture, there is a fall off of sharpness across the frame. This is most noticeable around the 50mm focal length. Closing the aperture down to f/5.6 helps to alleviate the problems, but there is still a fall off. By f/8, the sharpness is close enough to even across the frame to not be a concern. Even so, the 50mm focal length setting is still the one that offers the lowest score.
The transmission score, on the other hand, shows that the maximum aperture of the lens (f4) matches identically with the real life test results. Although a score of 4TStop seems low compared to a prime lens like an EF50mm f/1.2, a score of 4 for a zoom lens is very good showing there is essentially no light lost as it passes through the lens.
Like the transmission score, the distortion score of 0.2% is especially good for a zoom lens, with only the slightest barrel distortion at the wide end of the focal range and an almost completely neutral result at the 70mm end.
The vignetting score is one area that has impacted the overall DxOMark score. Only at 70mm and at aperture of f/8 is there almost no vignetting. At all other settings, there is some corner shading or light loss at the edges of the frame. At 24mm and f/4, the score of -1.3EV is too strong for a lens in this class.
Finally, the chromatic aberration score of 8µm is actually very good. A score of 5µm is considered noticeable, but would only equate to around 1pixel on most cameras – certainly nothing that would be distracting in a final print.
Beyond the tested metrics, both the USM AF motor and the advanced Hybrid Image Stabilizer are two plus points in favor of this lens. The IS system is a hybrid unit, first seen on Canon's EF100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro lens. The benefit of this is that whether you are shooting very close up to your subjects in a macro fashion, or whether you subject is more distant, the IS will function effectively to reduce camera shake while hand-holding.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The latest in the L series, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM is an ideal transtandard lens for reporting and can also make a good choice for portraiture. Versatile, it can also function as a macro with a reproduction ratio of 0.7x, Canon having worked hard to optimally match up the optical elements. |

Back in September Canon introduced the EOS 6D, its entry into the nascent 'compact, lightweight' full frame SLR segment. With the launch of the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM, Canon has now revealed what's destined to be its 'kit' lens. The newcomer is relatively compact in size to match the ethos of the 6D body design, but sports the company's premium 'L' series designation. However this comes with a price tag that's sure to make more than a few Canon users catch their breath - we've been told the the RRP will be $1499 / £1499.99 / €1459. What remains to be seen, though, is how much it will cost in a kit with the 6D body. Read the article |

Most likely incorrect tests.I'll explain why DxO does not provide graphical results of the tests but only their personal considerations.So as another to drive the conclusion

Re: I do not believe
Interesting point but you have to remember you're not really comparing apples to apples here. The link you provided compares a Canon f/4 VS Sigma f/2.8 which isn't a true apple's to apple's comparison. More like a peach and orange.
DXO Lab tests thousands of lenses under Strict controlled environments, I highly doubt they're fluffing up the test results. PLUS "IF" they were...what are they gaining from doing so? Something to think about. Reply |

Ash's Totodile
this wiki
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Ash's Totodile is a water-type Pokémon owned by Ash. It was captured by Ash using his Lure Ball, making him the only one of Ash's Pokémon that has never been inside an ordinary Poke Ball.
Totodile first appeared in The Totodile Duel. Since Misty also wanted it, she and Ash decided to battle in order to determine who's it was. Ash won the battle.
Totodile has a jolly and playful personality and really likes to dance. It has even been known to use this dancing tactic to help win battles, it has also proven to be a strong Pokémon in battles, although it's endurance was not very high but it made up for this with its impressive dodging abilities. Ash left it at Professor Oak's lab as he decided to make a fresh start when he left for Hoenn.
Totodile reappeared in An Old Family Blend, where it had gone missing from its Lure Ball, like Ash's other Pokémon. Totodile was found dancing in the fountain, where it bit Ash's head.
Totodile is set to reappear in the Pikachu short airing with the 15th Pokémon movie. It will also reappear along with all of Ash's Pokémon in an upcoming episode of Best Wishes Season 2.Known moves

Bite | The Totodile Duel |
Water Gun + | The Totodile Duel |
Headbutt | A Corsola Caper! |
Scary Face | One Trick Phony! |
Slash | Just Add Water |
Leer | Playing with Fire! |
+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.* - indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move. |
- Totodile was fought over for his ownership by Ash and Misty.
- Totodile and Ash's 30 Tauros are the only Pokémon to be caught in different types of Poké Balls; however Totodile was captured and is kept in a Lure Ball and Ash used Safari Balls to catch his Tauros, when Ash uses one in battle, they seem to be kept in normal Poke Balls.
- Totodile is the only one of Ash's Johto starters that has not evolved.

Weekend warrior here. We aim to gig once a month and rehearse approx. twice a month. We all have serious day jobs so it's very much a hobby.
We love it
I play in the Navy Reserve band down here. It's pretty good, we've got some great players and an awesome front man. We rehearse once a week (and get paid to do it) and gig once or twice a month. It's all covers, we mainly do classic rock/funk/disco/alt/whatever is popular, as well as jazz gigs (which I don't do) and ceremonial stuff (side drum). It's fun, it keeps my Navy connection going and my chops (or lack thereof) up. Plus my partner and I had an agreement, whatever I earnt from the band I got to spend on gear. That all changed when we learnt we were pregnant...
Last edited by justmund; 12-12-2012 at 04:34 AM. Reason: spelling
Just a weekend warrior, here. The classic rock gig is taking all of my playing time but also am in a great vintage rock group (50's/60's...I'm the only one not on social security and retired). Haven't taught guitar lessons in many years and gave my saxes to my son. So while there is a bit of money involved, it is far from a 'pro' gig and certainly not paying the bills. Barely pays for a new amp.
Basement rock star...with one live appearance at my son's wedding in 2010, and a future live date scheduled for 11/30/13 at my daughter's wedding. Since we are primarily responsible for this one, I hope to get in a few more tunes that at my last performance. Hell...we're making the wedding...I think I'll play the entire night so I won't have to worry about getting up and dancing.
Practicing my set list already!
I haven't won anything in my life, but if you guys want to have a "least gifted guitar player on the forum" contest, that would be cool.
I tried that back in the BaM days, and it went down like the proverbial Led Zeppelin.
However, the best thing about my concept was that Jon (FlyingVee) said that the contest could be a "Harrison Bergeron" type of contest, and the best players could be handicapped to level the playing field. Thought that was kinda cool...amateurs with PRS vs. Pros. playing with "Hello Kitty" strats.
It's the opposite for me. Monday nights are band practice night, and it's our version of poker night. Lots of fun with guys who grew up together. We never gig more than twice per month, and we'll only take paid gigs at local clubs within a 20 mile radius that have enough of a built-in crowd that we're not under pressure to draw more than 15 or 20 of our own. We usually don't learn more than 2 new songs per month, but our song list is a FIFO (First In FIrst Out) so we don't have to keep current with a 200 song set list.... we hold it steady at around 70, so there isn't a bunch of pressure there. We're just a 4-piece, so managing everybody's schedule isn't that bad. The comraderie is what it's all about from my perspective. The only part that seems like "work" is loading back up at the end of a gig (sometimes as late as 2AM). There are usually pancakes involved afterwards though, and that fixes most anything...
Hah!!! My new band is made up of "The Man"...all of us. What's nice about this is that nobody needs to play for the money. The other guys are all very talented and the gear is a gear guys dream! At 34 I'm also the youngest guy in my band by at least 20 years....which is fine by me...because they all have had decades more experience and have dealt with ALL of the BS...this is their no BS band...which works out perfectly for me because I do this for enjoyment not Drama...if I'm not doing it for the fun, comraderie and the music than I'm just not doing it...and I've told them that...I have too many important things going on in my life...family, work, etc... It's very laid back. We all have similiar tastes. We play what we want obviously still keeping the audience in mind. We run the band as a democracy over beers...practice once a week together. I occasionally play with the other guitarist an additional night to work on things. The goal is a gig every month...unfortunately the very local music scene is not all that big around me...so even once a month can be hard. Two of the guys played together in another band for the last four years and they averaged about 1 gig a month. It's been working really well so far. My wife is also very supportive of me and considering we have 2 little boys I am extremely appreciative of her for that support...if it wasn't for her I wouldnt be able to do this...I try to make sure she gets to do the things that she wants to do as well...make sure I do lots of bath times and bedtimes and do as much as possible with the family when I am not in the office. If not...she would have a very different view of what I do. In addition I waited years to find the right band. Most other bands wouldn't be this laid back and flexible.

That's awesome! I love to hear stories like that. I need to get back into playing with actual people again!
No way! Teach me!
One of my bands, playing irish/scottish tunes with hard rock arrangements, managed to get kind of semi-pro (occasional event gigs along with well visited "normal gigs"... that means we make enough money to produce records).
The other band is more of a dedication than hobby, I started it when I was 16 and it lives and changes with me (and other people joining and leaving the band over years). Right now it's in larval stage (again), working on brand new material. I'm sick of playing the stuff I wrote when I was 16
I guess it makes me a weekend warrior.
Love for all human beings is like listening to any kind of music. You just don't care.

All my income comes from teaching guitar, so I guess that makes me a professional.......
I've got an acoustic duo that I'll be starting performing with round the local pubs in the new year. It will be good to get out doing regular performing again. Been a few years.

Great protection for the price.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The pads are inexpensive, and in some ways you can see that they're not the best. But for the money they do an awesome job. Ample protection for most average impacts, and they're reasonable comfortable. Although I wouldn't want to wear them for long when pedaling. They seem to stay put pretty well and I haven't noticed much shifting.
