If you drive a Honda Civic it shows that you care about the environment. This sedan gets 28/39 miles per gallon on the highway with its Eco-Assist fuel-optimizing technology. You're also a creative, savvy and a cost-conscious buyer. And don't think for a minute that the Civic is bland. On the 2012 Civic LX you can personalize how information is displayed on the screen, customize the screen's color and even choose you own wallpaper. In your wardrobe: vintage Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress (CREDIT: Honda.com) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
You go for creature comforts and you're not shy about asking for what you want. You value elegant design and bespoke details. The Lexus LS sedan speaks your language. It offers climate-controlled seats, an all-LED interior lighting system that illuminates to greet the occupants and dims like theater lights, and an available Ottoman Seating Package with Shiatsu Massage for backseat passengers. The interior is offered in five color schemes from Ivory to Saddle Tan and wood choices include: Walnut, Shimamoku Espresso (a striped wood), Matte Brown Bird's Eye Maple and an eco-friendly Bamboo wood trim. In your wardrobe: several pairs of Louboutins (CREDIT: Toyota Motor Corporation/ToyotaNewsRoom.com) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
You're the Mom who seems to manage family, career and home with grace and a sense of humor. You don't try to be super mom realizing that you just can't do it all. Your style is casual chic, and you don't want to worry about whether or not your car is safe for your family. That's why you picked the three-row, six-passenger Mazda5 crossover. It has a top safety rating, yet at the same time, doesn't skimp on the zoom zoom fun factor. In your wardrobe: J Brand jeans (CREDIT: Mazda North America) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
You're strong, feminine and enviably self-assured. You can muck out a stall, go to a PTA meeting and host a charity event all in the same day. The bottom line -- the Ford F-150 boasts three decades of being a pick-up truck leader. But we're talking luxury. The 2013 Ford F-150 Limited design sits on 22-inch polished aluminum wheels with a monochromatic exterior theme played out in metallic Ruby Red, Tuxedo Black or White Platinum. The cabin features cooled and heated red and black full-grain leather-trimmed seats with second row heated seats. In your wardrobe: Ralph Lauren leather jacket (CREDIT: FORD) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
You just can't help it, style is everything to you. You like clean, simple, contemporary lines on almost everything. Black plays heavy in your sartorial choices, meaning you default to a black t-shirt over a cheerier chartreuse number. The BMW X5 is a capable off-road vehicle, but few owners have ever left pavement, except perhaps to meander over the gravel drive of an equestrian center. You're elegant and appreciate quality materials. And you can't deny you like BMW's snob appeal just a little. In your wardrobe: Pucci shoulder bag (CREDIT: BMW USA) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
You're a forward thinker, a technology whiz and strongly opinionated on anything eco. On top of all this, people like YOU. Your friends all want to ride in your LEAF because, after all, this high-tech car has a 100% electric motor which translates to no tailpipe emissions, not one drop of gas, no more oil changes, and up to 100 miles on a single charge. In your wardrobe: a Stella McCartney shirt (CREDIT: Courtesy of Nissan) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
You're fun, but not silly. You like cute, but not cutesie. You chose the Ford Focus because it seats five, has a practical and easy-to-load hatchback trunk, and is small enough to park just about anywhere. You're the kind of gal who saves her money and wants value in everything she buys. In your wardrobe: Gap camisole (CREDIT: FORD MOTOR COMPANY) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
The world's smallest four seater is all about minimalist design. No doubt about it, you are a savvy city girl with a high IQ. Your blog features tidbits like where to get the best Chapchae (Korean noodles!), how to score vintage cowgirl boots, finding a tattoo parlor that gives pedicures and a nightclub that screens the latest indie movies. In your wardrobe: ALLSAINTS sweater (CREDIT: TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY/TOYOTANEWSROOM.COM) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
You're a no-nonsense, confident, conservative and sophisticated shopper who does her research. You think before you buy and acquire classic items that will last a lifetime. You want the best for your money and aren't willing to put up with shoddy quality. The Toyota Camry comes with armloads of accolades including Top Safety Pick 2012 (Insurance Institute of Highway Safety), the Best Selling Car in America and the Car with the best resale value. Needless to say the Camry sips 25/35 miles per gallon. In your wardrobe: Coach handbag (CREDIT: TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY/TOYOTANEWSROOM.COM) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
You're always looking for adventure and fun and appreciate funky style. You love to shop in consignment stores for furniture you can refurbish and you enjoy hiking on weekends. One of your favorite pastimes: sipping wine and laughing with your best girlfriends. The Beetle with its 19" alloy wheels, color matched dashboard, customized interior lighting and updated vintage shape is a match for you. In your wardrobe: Free People frock (CREDIT: VW.COM) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
The mack-daddy of eco cars, the Toyota Prius screams that you are committed to polluting the planet less than your pals who scoot around in gas-guzzling SUVs. Even more, it says you're somewhat frugal, not wasting those precious pennies at the pump. After all, why pour all that money into your gas tank when you can spend it on a great bottle of Cabernet? In your wardrobe: Free People blouse (CREDIT: TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY/TOYOTANEWSROOM.COM) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
You've driven a Prius since forever, and now you're ready to take the next step – to go all electric. With the 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV, you love that you'll never visit a gas station, or pay for another oil change. And now, you're thinking about getting solar panels so that you can go completely off the grid and drive with solar-powered energy. You hate waste, hate the idea that cars pollute. You recycle everything, eat healthy, and probably voted democratic in the last election.

It's well documented that koi fish like to swim against the current and, for the most part, are happily oblivious to their surroundings. We celebrate that spirit with our Real McKoi. Inspired by original hand-painted artwork, we created a rich print on an ultrasoft silk and cotton jacquard weave that has great substance and slubby texture. With welt chest pocket and red chainstitching inside the neck. Classic fit. 60% silk/40% cotton. Machine washable. Imported.

Rating: 3.70 out of 10 votes cast
Good shirt
The pattern is mismatched at the buttons but it is comfortable, versatile and the only shirt I've worn recently that consistently gets compliments. It's a good value at $50.
Sn Diego, CA
McKoi Gift
I got this as a gift for a close friend who has a koi pond and he loved it. He mentioned how beautiful it is, how great it fits and what great quality it is. I have been buying from Territory Ahead for years and they are one of my favorite brands of shirts.
San Diego, CA
Poor design
The pattern is grossly mismatched on the front creating a very unpleasing look. It would be much more practical if the bottom were square cut with side vents so it could be worn outside of pants. I agree totally with the two other reviews on these points. A shirt in this price range deserves better design and attention to details.As a result I returned my shirt
Burr Preston
San Francisco, CA
Needs A Change
This shirt needs a square bottom with side slits not a shirt tail. It is a tropical type shirt and should in, my opinion, be worn outside the trousers rather than tucked in (very geeky) or worn with the tails flapping the wind.
Seattle, WA
Special favorite shirt
The cotton/silk fabric is incredibly cool and comfortable, and the cut and drape of this shirt could not be more perfect. This is one of my very favorite shirts; I've had the black for a couple of years now and am ordering the red.
Nothing Fishy About This Shirt
A beautiful garment, comfortable in the Texas heat. Typical TA unique design.
Houston, TX
Not up to standard
After many purchases of men's shirts for gifts, this one is being returned. The fabric and fit are OK, but the Koi fish pattern is not matched in the front. Other shirts are matched, even those in the $50 range. For $98, plus an extremely long wait for for a back order, it finally arrived at the end of summer, and it looks rather tacky.
California beach
Lacking attention to detail.
I would normally only spend this much money on an awesome shirt. This shirt had that potential. Pattern, color, and fit were all good. However, when I buttoned the shirt, it was apparent that NO thought had gone into matching or aligning the two sides of the shirt. There was an extremely abrupt, obvious, and visually distracting mis-alignment of the pattern. If you look carefully in the picture, it was obviously carefully chosen; while the sides don't align, it is still pleasing to the eye. Billed as a high-quality shirt, I would disagree due to the lack of attention to detail.
Elegant yet casual
This was my first purchase and I love this shirt! It looks great on my husband and I lookforward to buying him many more items :)
Bothell, WA
BEAUTIFUL and intricate
This shirt really caught my attention online, but it is so much nicer in real life. The black shirt has a subtle textured background, and then the fish are slightly raised above that with some nice color variation. The overall effect is not too busy but beautifully intricate. The fabric is a nice weight and feels nice to the touch. I bought it for my boyfriend for a major birthday. He says the fit is very good. He hasn't washed it yet. If there are problems, I'll add to the review. I hesitated to purchase it at full price because this was way beyond my comfort level but did so for it to arrive for the birthday. After seeing the quality of the shirt, I have no regrets. This is by far the nicest men's shirt I have bought at TA, and I've been very happy with the others. By the way, in some pictures, the shirt looks like a faded black or charcoal gray. This is not the case. The background is definitely black and the fish detail is in cream and a slightly darker tan.

Rose steps up workouts...Packers cut Saturday...Shalala slams NCAA...Former Duke star dies...Avs win
Monday - 2/18/2013, 8:40pm EST
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose participated in five-on-five drills today, the latest step in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters after practice that Rose "did what everyone else did." Rose has been sidelined since he tore his ACL late in last season's playoff-opening win over Philadelphia.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers have released veteran center Jeff Saturday, who lost his starting job late last season. Saturday signed a two-year deal with the Packers as an unrestricted free agent last March after 13 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He had been the Colts' full-time starting center since 2000.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- University of Miami President Donna Shalala (shah-LAY'-lah) has lashed out at the NCAA, insisting that its long probe of the Hurricanes not only come to a swift end but result in no other penalties against the athletic department. Shalala called the investigation "unprofessional and unethical" after the NCAA said today it was pressing on with the case against Miami despite several missteps. The NCAA has replaced its enforcement department and has thrown out all ill-gotten information gleaned from two depositions that could have been very damaging for the Hurricanes.
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Duke University says former Blue Devils star Phil Henderson has died at the age of 44. Coach Mike Krzyzewski says Henderson's mother told him that her son died Sunday at his home in the Philippines, although no cause of death was given. Henderson was a senior captain and the leading scorer on the 1989-90 Duke team that lost to UNLV in the national championship game.
UNDATED (AP) -- Paul Stastny (STAS'-nee) and Jamie McGinn scored 13 seconds apart to cap Colorado's four-goal second period in a 6-5 win over the visiting Nashville Predators. Matt Duchene had a goal and two assists in helping the Avalanche beat the Predators for the first time in 10 tries. In other NHL games this afternoon, Philadelphia clobbered the New York Islanders 7-0, and Ottawa beat New Jersey 2-1 in a shootout.

U.S. Turns to Drones to Cut Cost of "War on Drugs" in the Caribbean
Jason Mick
April 29, 2013 9:23 AM
comment(s) - last by

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
U.S. Navy is looking to use drones to cut cost of patrolling seas
The Caribbean is a major route via which cocaine enters the U.S., as well as being a major secondary route for marijuana and other drugs. A 2004 report by Caribbean local outpost of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime the Caribbean drug trade commands around $5B USD in annual revenue and accounts for around 125-170 of the pure metric tons of cocaine entry North America, or around 50 percent of it.
To date the U.S. has largely relied on Coast Guard and naval patrols to try to spot and intercept the drug smugglers. Now its going high tech, adopting an armada of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The initial deployment involves testing an
unmanned aerostat (blimp) named "Aerostar"
and RQ-20 Puma hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicles aboard the High Speed Vessel Swift, a 321-foot vessel in the Fourth fleet.
I. Meet Aerostar
Both Puma and the Aerostar have seen action in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now the military is putting them to use in another one of the nation's long-standing and costly wars --
the war on drugs
North Dakota-based
U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD) contractor
Raven Industries
produces the helium-filled floater. Raven Industries prefers the term "
" to blimp to avoid any sort of trademark conflicts. It cruises at 2,000 feet.
Unofficially dubbed "The Eye in the Sky" or "The Floating Eye" by servicemen, the DOD has already brought home some of these fliers for use with the
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) agency and its parent, the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), in their work policing the Mexican border.
The Navy tests its new Aerostar floater. [Image Source: AP]
The Aerostar is typically will be equipped with the "
" wide-area scanning sensor from
Logos Technologies
and the
Wescam sensor
L-3 Communications
, which provides narrower range multi-imaging. It has an effective scanning range of about 50 miles at altitude -- nearly ten times the visibility of a the Navy surface craft.
II. Meet Puma
The Puma is produced by AeroVironment, Inc. (
) a Monrovia, Calif.-based UAV maker. With a range of 9 miles/2 hours it serves a companion role, giving a "God's eye view" of potential targets spotted by Aerostar. Its electrooptical and infrared cameras offer close-up inspection of targets, while its 13-pound frame makes for easy hand launches.

Puma fliers travel between 23 and 52 mph. The craft is driven by a small propeller, powered by onboard lithium-ion batteries.

The Puma joins the CBP's Predator drones in patrolling the Caribbean; two of the CBP's ten domestic Predator drones patrol that region. It also joins Air Force jets and other aircraft, which regularly do flyovers of the region on patrol.
The U.S. Navy has begun testing both fliers last week. Rear Adm. Sinclair Harris, commander of the Navy's 4th Fleet, says this is the first time that UAVs have been used in Caribbean drug patrols.
Not all went smoothly. The Puma on its first return at a press demo plunged into the ocean and had to be retrieved -- fortunately it floats. A second launch saw a landing on deck.
III. Sequester Ends Martillo, but UAVs to Continue the "War on Drugs"
The use of drones so closed to the U.S. homeland will doubtless raise concerns about
domestic surveillance
, particularly given that
Florida just passed a law banning most forms of warrantless drone surveillance
over its airspace. However, the Navy drones will be presumably used exclusively over international waters. And these are small, unarmed drones, unlike the larger Predator drones that the CBP uses -- drones that
could potentially be armed
The Navy is looking to UAVs and smaller, faster craft to handle drug enforcement needs amid budget cuts from the sequester. Last year The Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate
USS Thach
USS Gary
(FFG 51), and guided-missile frigate
USS Nicholas (FFG 47)
were deployed in the region on a special mission dubbed Operation Martillo ("martillo" means hammer in Spanish).
The operation was a relative success -- according to naval sources it seized 160 tons ($4B worth) of cocaine, valued at $12B USD in street resale value; 25,000 pounds of marijuana, worth more than $10M USD on the streets; and $3.5M USD in cash were seized.
The sequester is ending Op. Martillo ("hammer"), a sting that nabbed 160 tons of cocaine.
[Image Source: AP]
However, the sequester
effectively ended Martillo
and its deployment of larger ships to traffick the Caribbean. The sequestration is slashing $4B USD from the Navy budget. A frigate costs only around $25M USD to operate a year [
]. Crew costs can be around $2.1M USD for the complement of 21 officers onboard and around $4.6M USD for the complement of 190 enlisted naval servicemen [
]. Given these relatively low costs it's somewhat unclear why the Navy chose to cut this mission given Martillo's success, but the UAVs will certainly help save costs.

RE: What a waste of money
Nice attempt at partial quoting and taking things out of context.
"Why do tobacco and alcohol use co-occur so frequently? Clearly environmental factors contribute to the problem. Both drugs are legally available and easily obtained. Over the past two decades, however, it also has become clear that biological factors are at least partly responsible. Although tobacco and nicotine have very different effects and mechanisms of action, Funk and colleagues (27) speculate that they might act on common mechanisms in the brain, creating complex interactions. These possible mechanisms are difficult to study because alcohol and nicotine can affect people differently depending on the amount of the drugs consumed (28–30) and because numerous factors, including gender and age, influence the interaction between nicotine and alcohol (31,32). Still, a common mechanism might explain many of the interactions between tobacco and alcohol, as well as a possible genetic link between alcoholism and tobacco dependence."

Canon 24-105 f4 L IS
August 19, 2005, 08:09:19 PM »
I would be tempted to replace my 17-40L with this lens since I also own the EF-S 10-22. I have no plans to buy the 5D or any other FF DSLR, so staying with a 1.6x sensor platform is not a concern. My 17-40L is a great lens, but limited as a general walk-around. Plus, having the IS would be nice.
If the optical quality is there, I know I'll stand in line for one.

One GOOD thing is that Canon is finally offering a decent wide angle zoom that goes to 24mm. 28mm just doesn't cut it, no matter how many "professionals" work within that 28-100 range as someone else has stated..
The reference to 28-100 is a statistical fact, nothing else. It has nothing to do with status (pro or amateur), but is just a fact, not opinion.
The current 24-70 goes to 24mm, and is certainly more than decent, so I don't really know what you mean by the "one GOOD thing" statement.
Whatever, I think it's a potentially useful addition to the lineup. More choices in the L lineup is great. Not every lens is going to appeal to everyone.
Now why they don't make a 400/5.6 L with IS, only god knows. Or decent superwide primes?

As you can see, I didn't recall correctly, the weight is 670g.
That's light enough for you, isn't it?
That is not too bad. I regulary walk around with the 600g 100mm f2.8 macro, the new lens is slightly heavier but a bit shorter which helps.
I find the 200mm f2.8 at 765g and 136mm long a little chunky, but then I don't temd to walk about with it except perhaps at the zoo.
Just seen the MTF charts on the USA web. Slightly disapointing although I need to look at it more carefully. The stopped down edge performance looks worse than the 24-70, I was hoping it would be at least as good considering the f4 vs f2.8 speed difference.
Now to get an early start for the Aug 06 rumour mill - the 70-200mm f4 is now looking a bit left out in the IS stakes.
Any bets on the chances of an update!

Theoretically, yes (and often so in reality). But there's something special about those Leitz Summicrons, Summiluxes, etc...
Oh, absolutely.
I'm not claiming that it's possible to achieve superior results by hand-crafting a lens design. Similar achievements have clearly been possible in similar fields before, too.
I also sincerely doubt that good lens designs will happen without the involvement of someone competent in lens design, regardless of the tools used.

Canon has announced (or pre-announced) their new L series lens - check out the LL front page.
Although I find new Canon lenses a novelty, and anxiously await new releases, this one leaves me a bit perplexed. Who is it for? Is it worth it? Will it satisfy my need for new lenses?
How much will it cost? (I'll take a stab at it and say between 800 and 1000USD at B&H).
Personally I think this lens is a step in the wrong direction. For full-frame maniacs, the f4 will prove limiting, especially if this is to be used as a portrait lens. At the wide setting, the 45cm minimum focus is not quite close enough in my opinion, though a 24mm wide lens should be standard, not the 28mm that the industry widely supports in the consumer lenses... Let's call it a half hearted attempt at placating the pro's who were hoping for an IS version of the 24-70 f2.8.. Very half hearted in my opinion!
For the 1.6x crop factor people this lens becomes a 38mm-170mm +/-. Nice for portraits, but again the f4 limits it's use by not separating the subject from the background enough (that's why you pay top dollar for luminous lenses!).
On the wide side.. wait, WHAT wide side???.. a 38mm is nowhere near wide.! Ok...let's call it a general walkaround lens, but a very sacrificed one indeed.
So who is it for? Well, I think this is aimed at people who WANT an L lens, but don't want to pay the price of true L specialised optics, and will probably buy this lens and maybe the 17-40. This is a "2nd tier" product, and perhaps a testing ground for IS in wide angle L zooms, which means that a 24-85 f2.8 IS is probably waiting in the wings...
Heresy? Madness. Well, tell me what you all think about it, and whether you would buy it and why (what type of photography).
While I'm at it I'll make a list of lenses that Canon SHOULD be manufacturing, but aren't as yet:
85 f1.4 L lens at under $1000
50 f1.2 L lens at under $1000
200-400 f4 IS DO lens at under $4000 (this one was sort of announced more than a year ago... and then retracted!)
24-135 f2.8 L IS (or at least a 24-85 f2.8 L IS!)

Here's an insight from the dark side (Nikon), as well as past experience with Canon.
When using the D30 and D60 in days of yore, I found the 28-135mm to be an immensely useful lens, whether for circumstances when the action was dynamic or especially when dust was bad and I was reluctant to change lenses. The zoom range suited my needs about 80% of the time. The problems were image quality and durability. It wasn't the sharpest of lenses, the variable apertures was troublesome when critically managing DOF, and it was a little fragile for rough use.
I've since gone back to Nikon, and bought their 24-120VR to provide a comparable zoom range. While it's possible that my individual 28-135 was a sub-par performer, each of the four 24-120VR's we own beats the pants off the Canon model. The 24-120VR isn't as robust as I would like, but the zoom range, image quality and focus speed suit us very well.
Could it be that the Canon 24-105 is simply a step to "get back into the game" with folks that find this zoom range meets their needs, an attempt to improve image quality with newer Canon DSLR's while providing L glass for better build and performance? If that general zoom range is useful to as many photographers as I suspect, then this is a smart move by Canon.
I haven't bothered to delve further into the specs or reviews of the new lens, but if I was still shooting in Canon I would be standing in line for improved performance and build over the 28-135. Just as I'm hoping that Nikon brings out a more robust "pro" version of the 24-120VR.

One thing to keep in mind is that the vast majority of photos taken by pros (and amateurs) are in the 28-100 mm range, so this really is a great dynamic zoom range. I think most of the fuss about this being only an f/4 is a variant of measurebation syndrome. Yes, the f/4 is a bit limiting--but, the tradeoff is probably improved performance optical performance throughout the range. With the performance of the 1dsmk2 and 20D at higher ISO (and better likely to come), f/4 isn't that much of a problem for low light. If you're serious about "available darkness" photography you aren't using an f/2.8 lens anyway--you're using a f/2 or f/1.2. And if one is really concentrating on using limited DOF, f/2.8 doesn't help that much anyway. Again, if you're serious about a wide open DOF affect in your image, you'll be using a fast prime. I know that may sound heretical, but it's a plain and simple fact. I don't think I've shot a landscape photo in the past year that used anything less than f/4, and the only lens I own slower than f2.8 is my 400/5.6. Correction--just added the Leica 15mm/3.5 to the wide end....When I've needed a shallow DOF affect or a "fast" lens, then (sad but true) I have to carry along a real honest to goodness prime lens to get what I need.
If this lens performs well at f/4 through the corners on FF cameras, it will be a welcome addition to my stable of lenses.

Ok, ok.. So many of you are actually happy with this lens! Fine.
My point was that it wasn't THAT useful for a 1.6 crop, but seeing as the 5D is an almost certainty - check these sites out:
..then it may actually be useful. However, that it is a second tier product, even though it is an L lens, there can be no doubt. At f4, it is significantly darker than an f2.8 lens. Many sensors on digital cameras are optimised for f2.8 and lower... F2.8 (And lower) give you more limited depth of field, faster autofocus and a brighter viewfinder. These are significant quality issues. That this lens may actually take spectacular photos, I sincerily hope. I have the 17-40f4 which is a great lens and takes some stunning photos.. but is simply sacrificed at f4 and in useability terms, takes extra work to produce good results with.
One GOOD thing is that Canon is finally offering a decent wide angle zoom that goes to 24mm. 28mm just doesn't cut it, no matter how many "professionals" work within that 28-100 range as someone else has stated..
As for buying this lens.. I just won't be in line for one... I have to save for the 5D!

Hello Braindeadmac
One thing to keep in mind is that the vast majority of photos taken by pros (and amateurs) are in the 28-100 mm range,
The reference to 28-100 is a statistical fact, nothing else. It has nothing to do with status (pro or amateur), but is just a fact, not opinion.
I once read an on-line article that talked about lenses that produced aword winning photos.. this was in the days of meccanical cameras, and the lens that picked up more than half of photo awards was... wait for it.... the venerable 50mm!
Obviously that article (
) is a bit dated, and today we may find that the majority of shooters use zooms with a range of between 28 and 100mm.
I would however like to have access to your source on this statistic of yours.
In the case of my own photography, I have always felt "hemmed in" by a 28mm, and only felt "free" with a 24mm lens. Conversely, besides portrait shots which I do with either a 50 or 85mm lens, I have always wanted to go further wioth 200, 400 or even 600mm to have the extra reach for far-off subjects or image compression. I expect "Pro's" tend to use the big guns more often than not to get closer to the action, and creative photography can be seen often done with super-wide angles.. The venerable 50mm is also around there somewhere.. However, a 28 to 100mm range seems quite restricted. So, please do enlighten me...

Yes, Canon's recommended retail prices in Australia are silly. Presumably Canon Australia doesn't like selling equipment (all that import paperwork, you know) and prefer customers to buy via international online retailers. :laugh:
Yes. I sometimes think it would be more economical to hop on a plane to Kuala Lumpur and buy a camera bag full of lenses. The savings would pay for the airfare and hotel accommodatiuon.
Most good camera shops will offer lenses at a slightly lower price than Canon's RRP, but the prices are still too high. My policy is, if you are paying a premium and buying from a local store, take full advantage of the opportunity to test the lens thoroughly in the shop before buying. Compare it with other lenses you own at the same FL.
The 24-105 f4 IS is interesting. However, speaking personally, since this range is already amply covered by other lenses I own, I'll be closely scrutinising the quality of this lens before buying. Any increase in quality over what I already have will need to be greater than marginal before I part with my cash.

(From what I recall, though, the weight was 770 grams, and dimensions were comparable to the EF 24-70 f/2.8L.)
That is disapointing, I would have been interested in a lighter f4 version of the 24-70 (perhaps 24-85) as a walkaround for full frame.
That's exactly what this lens is, except that it also has IS and a 105mm long end.

Optics have undergone a few revolutions lately, and modern CAD/CAM should yield significant benefits towards actually making noticeably better lenses, versus old hat design methods.
Theoretically, yes (and often so in reality). But there's something special about those Leitz Summicrons, Summiluxes, etc...

I don't think this lens is aimed at the "1.6 crop" market. rather, it is the perfect walk aorund lens for the new full frame 5D which is almost certain to be announced next week.
As for it only being f/4 - well, that hasn't stopped the 17-40 and 70-200 f/4 lenses selling extremely well to the "prosumer" market - which is also where the 5D is squarely aimed at. With the extremely low noise at high ISOs of recent Canon DSLRS, f/4 is quite enough for many people.
And if Canon to ever make your dream 24-135 f/2.8 lens, you are welcome to it....it would weigh something like 1.5kg. I'll probably buy the 24-105 f/4, to use on my 1DS....it sounds lighter more versatile than my 28-70 f/2.8 for most situations

I just hope it has a 77mm filter ring like the other two, to keep it a lean and lightweight system.
it has a 77 mm filter ring

The premise that this is a step in the wrong direction is an interesting one. I think this lens tells us that Canon is committed to FF for it's professional level cameras. I think this is a good thing, it's definitely good for me. If it's not good for you, well then you can switch to Nikon as they've developed some very nice cropped frame lenses and seems to be committed to 1.5x crop.

Of interest to the conspiracy theorists: Canon's Australian web site has been updated and the 24-105mm lens is not there as of Sunday morning local time. Betcha it's back by Tuesday. :-)
No rumours of any new EF-S lenses ... hmm.
P.S. Yes, Canon's recommended retail prices in Australia are silly. Presumably Canon Australia doesn't like selling equipment (all that import paperwork, you know) and prefer customers to buy via international online retailers. :laugh:

Chuck Westfall is quoted as saying that the optics are as good if not better than the 24-70L. Can't see it somehow, but if they've managed that then it would be a serious first...

(From what I recall, though, the weight was 770 grams, and dimensions were comparable to the EF 24-70 f/2.8L.)
That is disapointing, I would have been interested in a lighter f4 version of the 24-70 (perhaps 24-85) as a walkaround for full frame.

You guys forgot the best punctuation mark, the interobang!
Other -- I like the tilde (~) and upside down question mark (¿) I guess I'm a fan of Spanish punctuation. Asterisk (*) is pretty cool too. Poor comma... no one loves comma... Edit: looks like comma got some love as I was typing my comment...

Nailed it!
~ ` not sure if these count, but they are great because most users do not know the name of them You can use these as a character for an end users password and see how long it takes them to find it
Really‽ Really‽ What's better than the interrobang‽
what about the utilitarian (.)?
comment deleted.
( is awesome. It's a beginning.
Another vote for the ubiquitous interrobang, as in: "I just drank what?!" -- Socrates
Truer words have not been spoken. *hums* Interrobang bang Bang bang bang I'm gunna interrobang bang you into my life...
The best punctuation puzzle ever: James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.
. . .
the brackets are the awesomest. Useful for both Math and English, the brackets allow a writer to put in an aside [like the note I have here] or add editorial notes or corrections in the middle of quoted material.
I am TOTALLY SHOCKED⸮ You people over looked The percontation point aka punctus percontativus or rhetorical question mark, also known as an ironicon! I mean EVERYONE knows about it⸮ I'm sure it was just an over site⸮ I'm so totally sure you wont need a wiki link to explain it⸮ Seeing how smart you are⸮ But I'll leave it hear anyways not that you'll need it seeing that you already know everything about punctuation⸮ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_punctuation
Looks like the woot poll creators ran out of ideas tonight! But since you asked, I can't decide between ! and ?...
The interobang, of course. The question mark overlayed by the exclamation mark. Just match the dots at the bottom and there you've got it... whatever it is.
‽ Lots of interrobang love here.
Voted other for interrobang- but I'm glad semicolon is getting some love.
‽ or ¿
I like the period (.). Few sentences are complete without it.
The @ which gave us both email and "Hatless Atlas" (to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star): ^<@<.@* }"_# | -@$&/_% !( @|=> ;`+$?^? ,#"~|)^G hat less at less point at star backbrace double base pound space bar dash at cash and slash base rate wow open tab at bar is great semi backquote plus cash huh DEL comma pound double tilde bar close BEL
The interobang (combination of ! and ?) is clearly the mark that should be held in awe. Isn't it!?
. End of story.
I have deep and abiding love for the tilde ~ and the ellipsis ...
Come on, the elipsis go on forever and ever and...
What, no *nix shell scripters here? Shebang, Shebang! #! 'nuff said.
The question mark. Why? Because it's on the Big Orphaned Cetacea image!
Voted 'other' for the interrobang- why use two punctuation marks when one will do?
I personally never heard of the interrobang or whatever, I'll go for a tie between ... * ~
+1 on ‽
My vote!
yay taco
I myself prefer the ampersand, thought it's not really a punctuation per se... & is just so classy looking though.
Semicolon FTW! ; its the start of a wink, and has help me get laid many-a-times. Just add hyphen and an end parenthesis, and you could win over anyone..... anyone ;-)
I vote for the ellipse... "I'm going to miss you while I'm in Chicago! Will you miss me?" "...Of course!" "You're an ass"
Interrobang FTW ‽
Why so little love for the colon. everybody enjoys the colon from time to time.

By JOSEPH
from Falmouth, ME
This is the second 92 Capacity DVD case that I have purchased from Case Logic. I use this case to store my DVD collection and it works great, I am currently an undergraduate student in college and the compact size of this case is perfect for my life style. It sits right on the shelf with all my textbooks, because it has roughly the same height and spine width as a two inch ring binder. One the features I like a lot about this case in particular is The handle on the binding of the case which makes it very easy to carry around. I definitely will buy a third one as my movie collection continues to grow.

By ROBERT
from Henderson, NV
I had purchased one of these models a year ago, and was impressed with its overall construction, and decided to purchase three more of the same unit for the sake of uniformity, just in case this particular model becomes discontinued. The best feature in my opinion is that the pages are individually loose on binder rings, and not sewn together. Therefore, it is much easier to turn the pages, especially when the case is fully loaded. I am very satisfied with its performance, and would recommend it as a quality product for a fair price.

A beer with a coconut. Another one with pepper, while a third was made with bacon. And the fourth, well, there were too many ingredients to list.
Those were the beers I was tasked with judging on Wednesday at the first Jack�s Abby Brewing�s Battle of the Barrels at the British Beer Company in Framingham.
I was one of four judges (the other�s being Jamie McGee of Yankee Brew News, Todd Bellomy of Boston Beer Company and Aaron Mateychuk of Watch City Brewing Company) who were taste all four entries to determine the winner.
The event was fun � those who attended could also order flights of the four beers and then vote on what was best. Each of the beers was the same base beer, Jack Abby�s popular Smoke & Dagger aged in bourbon barrels.
However, each brewer taking part in the Battle of the Barrels had a $40 limit to add any ingredient they wanted to. The entrants were Jack Hendler (co-owner of Jack�s Abby), as well as his two assistant brewers Mike Gleason and Matt Cohen. The fourth entrant was Dan Eng, owner of Barleycorn�s in Natick.
Now, if you read this blog on a regular basis, you know I have a slight (OK, mega) bias toward coconut beers and everything coconut. So, I kind of expected to pick Mike Gleason�s Almond Joy beer, which was brewed with coconut and almond, as my winner.
Two other beers also looked interesting. Matt Cohen�s creation was called the Baconator, and it was brewed with maple bacon, maple syrup and bourbon. Hendler�s concoction was made with pistachio, coffee, chocolate, cherrywood smoked malt, cranberries and ginger.

John Cullen enters his sixth season as the Charlotte 49ers' head women's soccer coach in 2014 with another trophy on his mantle. The London, England, native is the fourth head coach in the program's history, returning to his alma mater Jan. 15, 2009, after a highly successful eight-year run (2001-08) as the head women's soccer coach at Catawba in Salisbury, North Carolina.
"I am extremely pleased to have someone with John's character, abilities and accomplishments but the one thing that you can never put a price tag on – the one thing that truly excites me – is his passion for our program," Charlotte director of athletics Judy Rose said at the time of his hiring. "To have an alum, who was a member of our soccer program, who has great coaching credentials, come home, is the best of both worlds. What he's done there (Catawba) is remarkable and I think the sky's the limit for him here. He has a vision for our program that exceeds what we have done."
Cullen's 2013 squad added another trophy to the case, picking up the Conference USA East Division in its first year back in the league. The 49ers weathered through injuries midseason to win the outright championship and earn the division's top seed at the conference tournament, where they reached the semifinals.
He orchestrated another double-digit win campaign along the way, his fourth in five years, and led Amanda Jones and Monica Trickett to All-Conference USA Second Team honors. The pair added All-Conference USA Tournament Team accolades as well, while Nicole Anderson added an All-Conference USA Freshman Team nod.
The Niners outscored their opponents 22-to-5 during the second half last fall, registering a number of comebacks to pull out victories or force ties. That never-say-die mentality helped lift the team to a 7-2-1 record at Transamerica Field during the program's 20th season. A year-long celebration featured the retirement of Hailey Beam's jersey and a large group of alumnae returning for Alumni Weekend in October.
Throughout his Charlotte coaching career, Cullen has crafted a 60-33-10 (.631) ledger with the Niners, guiding the team to the conference tournament each season. In each of his first two years, 2009 and 2010, Charlotte reached the championship match after completing the regular season with 9-0-2 and 8-1-0 league records, respectively.
He won 16 games in each of those campaigns, garnering a share of the Atlantic 10 regular-season crown in 2010. His initial squad tied the school record for single-season shutouts (13), while outscoring the opposition by an astounding 60-to-16 margin.
Beam was chosen as the 2009 Atlantic 10 Midfielder of the Year, while Whitney Weinraub was picked as the Atlantic 10 Offensive Player of the Year the same season. Six players received an all-league honor and another three added all-academic accolades to conclude his first year.
The all-conference award winners jumped to eight in 2010, including recently graduated goalkeeper Alex Kubrick on the all-rookie team. Again, the 49ers placed a player on the all-academic team before current midfielder Amanda Jones collected an all-rookie squad plaudit in 2011.
In 2012, Charlotte reached the double-digit win plateau for the third time despite losing three of its top five scorers from 2011 and entering the season with the 10 field player returning starters earning only a combined 58 starting nods. Despite the youthful group, a total of four Niners were recognized as All-Atlantic 10 performers.
During his time at Catawba, Cullen led the Indians to four NCAA Division II Regional appearances, including two showings in the regional finals. The program won a pair of South Atlantic Conference (SAC) regular-season titles in addition to his personal hardware of four SAC Coach-of-the-Year plaudits. In 2005, he was named the NSCAA Regional Coach of the Year after the squad finished with a 16-4-1 record.
All in all, he recorded a 113-33-16 record during his tenure, finishing as the school's career wins leader. He developed two All-Americans, an academic All-American, two SAC Players of the Year, 18 all-region selections and 32 all-conference honorees.
In addition to his collegiate resume, Cullen boasts strong ties to the Olympic Development Program (ODP) level. He began working at the state level in 2001 before joining the US Region III staff in 2006. Overall he tallied a 46-4 record with the NC ODP program, including an unbeaten, unscored upon 16-game slate with the '90s NC ODP team. He joined forces with former 49ers assistant coach Sarah (Judy) Denton in the summer of 2010, leading the NC ODP '95 team to the regional championships in Montevallo, Alabama. The squad then represented Region III in the Feb. 2011 national championships.

Re: Mermaid Touch

Re: I am a Puppet
aww! poor guy. its nice. if i could vote for it i would of. +0 votes
Really awesome design. I have actually really liked your designs in these past couple derbies. They have had more of an abstract and natural splendor to them. I really hope to see this printed.
Re: ESCAPE
Re: Phineas the Aeronaut
This was my first-ever Derby entry during the TV show titles reinterpreted derby, and I very intentionally went with a steampunk motif, and now wouldn't you know it if Woot had a steampunk derby theme. I didn't know the dates and deadlines at the time, though, and entered this a day before the Derby ended, and a lot of people said they really liked the design and were disappointed it was entered so late as to have no chance of winning. Well, now it has a chance. Maybe. People are entering some good stuff in this derby. D:
Re: Let's Play
this is excellent. and it totally reminds me of iron giant. which is a fabulous movie for all of you all who don't know what i'm talking about. kudos to you. i would totally buy one.
Re: Personal Steamputer
whoa! i was expecting the yellow/gold color from the early draft.
hah! i remember this from last time.

I agree, and I didn't even have to use kitschy pop-culture references! I did have a "Steam-Punky Brewster" design in the works, it just didn't pan out.
Re: Combustible Prey
the portable barbeque pet?
re: the punkocerus...
David I really like you work. I think that it fits the theme very well. The only suggestion that I would have is to saturate the colors or make them bolder.
Re: Of the Moment
i'd be more amazed if you did this with crayons! it looks great nonetheless!

Oh, I see that kind of... I thought that the head was a hand and it had light bulbs for fingers.
Re: Steampunk not Chuck Norris
nice, 3rd not Chuck Norris entry tonight i saw tonight!
Re: Out Of Steam
hah! i just saw your robot one. went to the zoo once just to take a look at the panda. when i got there, they told me to beat it because the pandas were taking a nap! what a rip off. never been back to the zoo ever since.
What color would this print as? If it's any variation of red (dark, red, pale) I'd vote, but if it's orange, i can't do it.
Very cute! I'll be in for one if it wins! gmv

As an illustration, I agree. As a shirt design, it would be too much, in my opinion.
those sparks are bitchin'! :D

Unfortunately your opponent did and Ramyb did Kawaii trash again. Seeing as Woot has been banning all video game related stuff lately I hope they will be consistent. Good work there though and I hope it (dare I say it) gains enough steam to place. Deeper, bluer, my head is like a shark fin.
This is my first post on the woot site. Usually I can't be bothered. However, Draxxx has a great dark talent I think I'm beginning to get biased now. LOL Anyways, I'll buy one, dang it.
Great job Ramy! Very wearable!
Re: Rustic
Vote :D
Re: Cloud Corsairs
Very cool, I like the boat deck and the propulsion system.
Re: Synthetic Beauty
You know exactly how I feel about your Dog / Robot entry. That being said, this is much much better, on theme, and wearable. Good job.
I love your cute animals, and wish you'd submit more. ::shrug:: As for people crying about the art... Are you even serious? Obviously if she's frequently winning it means there is something to the design, whether you're jealous of her or not. This is a business. Sorry if your designs (people complaining, not Ramyb!) aren't good enough to win. JMO, keep rockin' it Ramyb!!!
The well deserved return of the flying penguin! GMV and I'd buy one.
Re: The Aviator
I NEED this for my mom! It HAS to win! First time I've voted in so long, such a worthy entry!
awesome! favorite!
Stormink wrote:Also, I feel like the Gameboy itself should be made of a darker bronze color instead of the bright gold.
I think the reason yellow/gold was chosen was to make it stand out a bit more. A darker color would blend in too much with the rest of the shirt.
re: let's play
I really like this =)
Re: Best Worn With Goggles
Wow! Never would have guessed this for a Boots design. Looks like it would have been painful to draw. Not the kind of shirt I would wear, but I'm very impressed by the artwork. Good luck, Boots!

(Washington) - The Chairman of the United States Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (Helsinki Commission), Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS), announced that the Commission will hold a hearing on the recent revolution in Kyrgyzstan. With the fall of the regime of President Askar Akaev, the series of popular protest movements that began in Georgia in 2003 and continued in Ukraine in 2004 has now spread to Central Asia in 2005. What are the prospects now for consolidating democracy in Kyrgyzstan? And where else might revolutions take place in the former Soviet Union and what are the implications for Central Asia, Belarus, Russia and the United States?
Kyrgyzstan's Revolution: Causes and Consequences 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM Thursday, April 7, 2005 428A Russell Senate Office Building (updated)
Witnesses include: Zamira Sydykova, Editor, Res Publica, longtime opposition activist and likely Kyrgyzstan's next Ambassador to the United States Dr. Martha Olcott, Senior Associate, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Daniel Kimmage, Central Asia Analyst, Radio Free Europe/Radio LIberty Yulia Savchenko, Talk Show Host, Pyramid TV, Kyrgyzstan
An un-official transcript will be available on the Helsinki Commission's web site at http://www.csce.gov within 24 hours of the hearing. The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce.

Simple yet elegant, this setting is a classic. The Asscher diamonds are mesmerizing!. My husband bought this as an anniversary ring for me. We were hesitant to buy diamonds online especially with a fancy cut diamond that we don't even seedisplayed in the jewellry stores over here. We decided to buy it based mostly on the previous customer's review. It's a georgeous ring.
the girls at my fiance's beauty school in denver said it was "blinding" when the light hit it. look, you could sit there and wonder all day long if this or that ring is the best under $$$k. I literally looked at 1000-1200 rings online. this is the one. you don't know me from adam, but it's amazingly crystal clear. water clear. flat surface keeps the ring cleaner, obviously. the cut makes the light shimmer with incredible glare. it's sick.
I didn't buy this ring for an engagement ring. I bought it to wear on my right hand. I've never had ascher cut diamonds before and thought I'd take a chance. Well, this ring is stunning! The facets look really cool too! I normally only buy F-G color and this is H but looks very clear and sparkly. I would buy it again in a heart beat! Don't hesitate to get this one! It's a keeper!!!
It looks like a more expensive ring. Was very pleased.
Ring shines and sparkles like no other ring that I've ever seen. She loves it, and so does all of her friends.
Ring came just as advertised. Looks great and my (now) fiancee can't stop bragging on it and says it makes her smile every time she sees it. The unique cut definitely gets a lot of attention.
We were very happy with the quality and cost of the ring.
this ring is beautiful. the quality of the diamonds is out of this world i am very happy with it. It shines even in the dark and looks large even if the center diamond is a .5 carat. :)
