TITLE - noun - the distinguishing name of a book.
I have always been intrigued by book titles, particularly those of mystery novels, and wonder how the authors choose a title. Do they start with a title and then write the book, or is it the other way around? Maybe they start with a title and as the story changes, so does the title. Sometimes the publisher changes the title before the book is printed. Whatever the case, the right title can impact the popularity of the novel.
Take, for example, the titles of the Flavia de Luce series by C. Alan Bradley: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag, A Red Herring Without Mustard, and I am Half-Sick of Shadows. Definitely unusual, and the titles don't really give a clue as to what each book is about, but the meanings becomes very clear when you read the books.
Titles cannot be copyrighted, so you may come across books with the same title, but by different authors. Death Watch is a mystery title used by both Jim Kelly and Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, as well as by YA novelist Ari Berk. You will find the title Fallen listed in our catalog under three fiction authors, one YA author and mystery writer Kathleen George. It really helps in instances like these that you know both the title and author, so you end up with the book you want.
Some series titles are as good as a copyright, though. Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum number series is up to 18 (Explosive Eighteen). Fiction author James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series uses ordinal numbers (11th Hour is due out in May). Also easily identified are the fiction titles by John Sandford and his Prey series (Sudden Prey will also be released in May). There are numerous other examples of authors repeating a word or phrase in their titles to enhance reader recognition.
Sue Grafton's alphabet series (A is for Alibi, up to V is for Vengeance) is another with world-wide recognition. There are several other mystery authors with alphabet series. Mary Daheim does double duty by starting all her titles with Alpine and then has gone alphabetically with the second word in each title. The first is Alpine Advocate and the latest is Alpine Winter. Another ABC series is by Carole Nelson Douglas and, again, with two twists - she begins almost all the titles with Cat (and most begin with Cat in a ...), then she follows with a phrase that follows alphabetically from the previous title, and she also includes a color (Cat in a Red Hot Rage, Cat in a Sapphire Slipper, and the most current title, Cat in a Vegas Gold Vendetta).
Other easily recognized series are the late Lilian Jackson Braun's The Cat Who... series, J. D Robb's ...in Death collection and Carol Higgins Clark's Regan Reilly books, which are all named with one-word, past tense verbs (Iced, Laced, Wrecked, Zapped, etc and the newest, Gypped, which is due out in April). Also used as the focal point of some series titles are character names, including Aunt Dimity, Mrs. Jeffries, the Spellmans, and Agatha Raisin.
Many cozy mysteries are well-known for titles that are puns or a play-on-words. Here is just a small sampling: The Long Quiche Goodbye, Antiques Maul, Six Geese A-Slaying, Bean There Done That, Merchant of Menace, Midsummer Night's Scream, Withering Heights, She Shoots to Conquer, Slay It With Flowers, Evan Help Us, and Roast Mortem.
Often authors choose their titles from popular expressions (Dead of Winter, Mum's the Word, Thrilled to Death), from hymns and lines from hymns (Out of the Deep I Cry, One was a Soldier by Julia Spencer-Fleming), and from existing works (Agatha Christie used a number of titles that are associated with the works of Shakespeare).
Mystery author Susan Wittig Albert always includes the name of an herb in her titles (Witches' Bane, Lavender Lies). Earlene Fowler's books feature the names of quilt patterns (Dove in the Window, Steps to the Altar). Song titles are used by Jill Churchill in her Grace and Favor series (It Had to be You, Someone to Watch Over Me).
Also, titles can be memorable lines from the book itself. Louise Penny's Three Pines series is an excellent example of this, with such titles as A Rule Against Murder, A Brutal Telling, Bury Your Dead and A Trick of the Light. Not only is the title found within the story, but it also reflects on the meaning of the story itself.
When browsing for a new mystery to read, we are often drawn to books by authors we know. But next time, see if it isn't the title that pulls you in.

Creator of the Official Unofficial NZ Cricket World Cup Drinking Game
Round 2, 20th February 2015 - NZ vs. ENG
Love how England match threads fall silent when they're playing really well. Their fans have nothing to complain about and everyone else has nothing to laugh at.
****. England 220/2. With Ryder injured, they may beat Nzl and reach the semis. Who would have thought.
I am going by what Naumaan said. I had no idea. You are bound to be right Athlai.
Could apply to any England side. Did exactly the same last year, going from whitewashing South Africa to being whitewashed by India.
England are nowhere near as bad at ODI cricket as everyone lets on. They're just remarkably inconsistent, and when they're bad, they're horrendously bad.
Won that tournament in Sharjah in the 90s when Adam Hollioake was captain.

Webelos Activity Badges
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
with the maps, charts, links, and checklists you need plus cross-references
for related Cub Scout Belt Loops & Pins and Cub Scout Awards.
Webelos Activity Badges | |||||
Webelos Activity Badges are colorful metal emblems (pins) that may be pinned to the Webelos Colors or the Webelos cap (this is a per-Pack decision). The Activity Badges form the basis of the 15- or 18-month-long Webelos Scout Program which prepares Webelos Scouts to bridge into a Boy Scout troop.
Requirements may be worked on during the Webelos den meetings and the new skill practiced at home and with the help of the boy's family. The requirements are either completed during the den meetings or at home with the den leader's approval. Projects are then brought to meetings to share as well as to be approved by the Webelos Den Leader or Activity Badge Counselor. A pin is awarded upon completion of the requirements.
They are divided into 5 groups of 4 badges each:
- Physical Skills
- Mental Skills
- Community
- Technology
- Outdoors
Contents |
Webelos Activity Badge Worksheets Worksheets can help you organize notes, listen actively, find resources, and document your work. |
Optional worksheets can help Scouts organize notes, listen actively, and document their work.
The Worksheets include extra materials that the Webelos Scout will need:
- Blank Maps
- Graph paper
- Checklists
- Links to online references and free online video lessons of key skills
Click here for the Webelos Activity Badge Worksheets.
How to Earn An Activity Badge
- Learn the skills.
- During the activity badge period of the den meeting, Webelos Scouts receive instruction, practice what they've learned, and take part in games or contests using their new skills.
- Complete the requirements.
- Webelos activity badge requirements are approved by the Webelos den leader or other designated person, such as an activity badge counselor. This step, which focuses on communication between a boy and an adult other than his parent, is a part of the program that helps prepare the Webelos Scouts for their Boy Scouting experience.
- Receive the activity badge.
- The Webelos den leader makes certain that each boy receives the activity badges he has earned, promptly and with ceremony, in a pack meeting.
Physical Skills group
Aquanaut | Athlete | Fitness* | Sportsman |

I rather see better support for PackageKit and AppStream.
Phoronix: Further Planning On Ubuntu's New Package System
Yesterday during the virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit to begin working out Ubuntu 13.10 plans were more discussions surrounding the distribution's proposed new packaging system...
I rather see better support for PackageKit and AppStream.
Hopefully they can use listaller or 0install and not do like gnome did and create another one (glick2)
I'm pretty sure this is entirely new system.
-webupd8The Ubuntu developers have also looked into similar existing tools such as Listaller or 0install but there are some things which they prefer to do differently; e.g.: Listaller is dependency-based and they prefer this to be as independent as possible and 0install would also need some system integration problems to be solved, so instead, they've decided to create a new installer.
lol. ubuntu has a bit of a trend
if current supported and accepted ways of doinging things exist, and the only obsticles arejust compleatly overlook it and run its name through the mud andreimplement your own hacked together implementation that nobody else in the community cares to see exist and then tout it as a revolutionary and game changing awsomesauce new thing that is going to ROFL stomp all the others.some system integration problems to be solved
why the hell did ubuntu ever become the defacto newbie distro? why couldn't we just leave it as a debian testing + nvidia blob and flash on a braindead install disk? why didn't fedora take the intro distro spot?
I for one actually like this idea. In a way it is similar to what windows programs often do: bundle critical dll:s with the application. One great advantage with this is that a packaged application will have a longer "shelf-life" and will be installable and runnable on several releases of Ubuntu. It should also be fairly portable to other Linux distros (I have tried some repackaging of debs and rpms on Arch and got very frustrated with some (in Arch terms) old library dependencies expected by the binary) What one can hope for is that the "portable apps"-type packages installed via Click will have a custom LD_LIBRARY_PATH where the Click package library directory is put last (can we have private namespaces on Linux?), so that more up-to-date and security fixed .so:s are used first and that bundled libraries are only used when the system does not provide the dependencies.
They'll just depend on what Canonical defines as the "base system" and then statically link in any other dependencies, base on the Canonical blog posts about this.
Portable binaries can already just link against libc and statically link the other dependencies, and there's the Linux Standard Base defining a set of libraries that can be dynamically linked against.
Why re-invent .msi files? There are reasons I'm trying to get away from Windows, and the fact that the traditional package systems used by most linux distros is superior to the crap they've been doing in Windows is a big one. This is a major step in the wrong direction.

Even though it's been 25 years since the May 14, 1989, series finale of "Family Ties," the Keaton family still has a special place in the hearts of TV comedy fans.
The show bridged the gap between two generations with its interplay between hippie parents Steven and Elyse Keaton and their young Republican son, Alex P. Keaton, and his siblings.
It won the Fan Favorite category at the TV Land Awards in 2011, and many of the former cast members showed up to accept the honor. Some members of the cast went on to become superstars.
Meredith Baxter-Birney (at left) played Elyse Keaton, Alex's liberal mother. In reality, she's only 14 years older than Michael J. Fox, who played Alex.
She removed the Birney from her name when she divorced her second husband more than 20 years ago and now just goes by Meredith Baxter. She married for a third time in 1995 but divorced again in 2000 and then came out as a lesbian in 2009. On Dec. 8, 2013, she married her partner, Nancy Locke, a general contractor, with whom she has been since 2005. She continues to act today, voicing a character in the animated sitcom "Dan Vs." and appearing in guest spots in shows such as "Cold Case," "Brothers," "Switched at Birth" and "The Neighbors." She also acted in the Hallmark Channel movie "Naughty or Nice" in 2012 and appeared with Patty Duke as one half of a gay couple on the fourth-season finale of "Glee" in 2013.
Michael Gross (on right) played Alex's ex-hippie dad, Steven, on the show. The sketch of the Keaton family during the show's opening sequence was drawn by Gross.
Gross is also well known for playing the character Burt Gummer in the "Tremors" movies and subsequent TV series. Since "Family Ties," he has guest-starred on many TV shows, including Michael J. Fox's former show "Spin City" and other shows such as "Psych," "Parks and Recreation" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." In 2012, he co-starred with Baxter in the Hallmark Channel movie "Naughty or Nice," once again playing husband and wife, as they did on "Family Ties." He's also an avid model railroader and is the "celebrity spokesman" for the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore.
Michael J. Fox's (on right) conservative character, Alex P. Keaton, ended up becoming a central part of the show. Fox won three Emmys for his work.
Fox later became a superstar after the runaway success of the "Back to the Future" trilogy. He went on to star in other movies such as "Teen Wolf," "The Secret of My Success," "Bright Lights, Big City," "Doc Hollywood" and "The Frighteners" and then starred in the sitcom "Spin City" from 1996 to 2001. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991 and semi-retired from acting after leaving "Spin City." However, after making a return to acting by playing recurring characters on the TV shows "Boston Legal," "Rescue Me" and "The Good Wife," he scored his own sitcom, "The Michael J. Fox Show," loosely based on his life. He's also now an activist for research toward finding a cure for Parkinson's.
Justine Bateman (on right) played Mallory Keaton, who was often portrayed as an airhead and was fodder for jokes by Alex.
Bateman has made many TV guest appearances, including on her brother Jason Bateman's show, "Arrested Development." She has also recently appeared as a guest star on shows such as "Modern Family," "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior," "Private Practice," "Psych," "Californication" and "Desperate Housewives." For a while she ran a production and consulting company named SECTION 5, but in the fall of 2012 enrolled in computer science courses at UCLA.
Tina Yothers (at left) played Jennifer Keaton, Alex and Mallory's younger sister and the baby of the show until Andrew, played by Brian Bonsall, was born.
Yothers has had only a handful of acting roles since "Family Ties" ended in 1989. She played the lead in "Lovelace The Musical," a 2004 stage show based on the life of former porn actress Linda Lovelace. She also appeared on VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club" and "Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp." In January 2012 she was featured on the ABC show "Celebrity Wife Swap," where she traded places with Niecy Nash of "Reno 911!" and "Clean House" fame. In February 2013, Yothers was also featured on an episode of the TLC series "What Not To Wear."
Brian Bonsall portrayed Andy Keaton, the family's youngest child, from 1986 through the show's finale in 1989.
Bonsall also had a recurring role in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," appearing in seven episodes in 1992-94 and then appeared in two TV movies, "Father and Scout" with Bob Saget and "Lily in Winter" with Natalie Cole, both in 1994. Since retiring from acting in 1995, Bonsall has had a number of run-ins with the law, including a 2001 DUI conviction and assault convictions in 2007 and 2010.
Marc Price played the nerdy, dim-witted next-door neighbor Irwin "Skippy" Handelman. One of Alex's best friends, Skippy had a constant crush on Mallory.
Price, seen here at the 2011 TV Land Awards, has done little acting since the show ended, instead hosting The Disney Channel's "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" from 1989-1992, working as a stand-up comic and producing TV shows.
Scott Valentine played Mallory's artist boyfriend, Nick Moore. Nick was introduced in 1985 and he became a recurring character for the rest of the series.
Valentine has continued to act, mostly in TV shows and direct-to-video movies, since the show. In 2010 he starred in "Airline Disaster" as the pilot of a hijacked airliner who also happens to be the brother of the U.S. president, played by his "Family Ties" co-star Meredith Baxter.
Tracy Pollan (left) was only on "Family Ties" for one season as Alex's squeeze, Ellen Reed. But it was enough to make an impact on Fox. The two married in 1988 and are still together.
Fox and Pollan have had four children. Pollan also has guest-starred on many TV shows, including alongside Fox on "Spin City," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "The Michael J. Fox Show," as well as on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Medium" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."
Another of Alex's girlfriends, Lauren Miller, was played by Courteney Cox from 1987 to 1989.
But of course Cox went on to become a superstar herself, spending a decade on one of TV's biggest hits, "Friends." She also starred in the "Scream" movie series and currently stars in the sitcom "Cougar Town."
Tom Hanks guest-starred in three "Family Ties" episodes as Elyse's brother, Ned Donnelly.
Hanks, seen here with wife Rita Wilson, had just wrapped up "Bosom Buddies" at the time and has gone on to an Oscar-winning movie career.
But Cox and Hanks are hardly the only future stars who made an appearance on "Family Ties." Future "Thirtysomething" star Timothy Busfield appeared in three episodes as Alex's friend "Doug."
Geena Davis portrayed an inept housekeeper in three episodes.
Before going on to play Fox's father in "Back to the Future," Crispin Glover played one of Alex's friends on the episode "Birthday Boy."
Julia Louis-Dreyfus portrayed a lawyer in the two-part episode "Read It and Weep" and would later star in the "Family Ties" spin-off "Day by Day."
Corey Feldman played a seventh grade classmate of Jennifer who was a nominated to win the best student achievement award on the episode "The Disciple."
Christina Applegate played Kitten, a member of Jennifer's band, on the episode, "Band on the Run."
And "Inception," "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Looper" star Joseph Gordon-Levitt played Dougie, a kindergarten friend of Andrew's in two episodes, "Sign of the Times" and "Father Can You Spare Me a Dime."

Been a little lax on the site lately. Wanted to go to the doctor and get a complete Physical since this old body is beginning to go through changes. Didn't know just how many parts there were to be checked. Seems like I'm back in the office everyday getting something else checked. My cabinet is beginning to look like a shelf at Wal-mart. Vitimans, pills and stuff. Guess that is what happens when you ask for it. I am finding more and more that good physical health seems to improve my outlook on life. Big Book says God has supplied us with good Doctors and we should use them. Maybe 62 isn't so old after all. Beats the other option. You know looking up at the top of that box.
My granddaughter finished high school this past week. Gave her a little car as a gift for finishing with honors. Took my youngest grandson fishing and he caught his first fish on his own. My son wants me around and my middle grandson (15) is ready for hunting season to open so he can get a deer. What a blessing to have my family back in my life.
Wishing all my friends the best of the best
God thank you for the opportuniies of today. I now ask that you place before me only the things that I can handle with your love your power and your way of life
PEACE and LOVE

Rays entrust Moore with Game 162 for Wild finish
Redmond gets chance to shine in regular-season finale for Blue Jays
After 161 games, it all comes down to one game for the Rays. A 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday put them in a tough position. Tampa Bay is now tied with the Rangers for the second American League Wild Card spot, one game behind the Indians as a result of the Tribe's win over Minnesota on Saturday.
If the Rays win what could be a make-or-break game on Sunday in Toronto against the Blue Jays, they can't yet be eliminated from postseason contention. A three-way AL Wild Card tie at the end of play on Sunday would require two tiebreaker games, the first of which would take place between the Rays and Indians in Cleveland on Monday. The loser of that game would head to Arlington to play the Rangers on Tuesday to determine who would oppose Monday's winner in Wednesday's AL Wild Card Game.
If the Rangers and Indians lose on Sunday and the Rays win, finishing the day in a tie with Cleveland, no tiebreaker would be necessary; Tampa Bay would host Cleveland for the Wild Card Game. If all three contenders play to the same result on Sunday, the Rays and Rangers would play a one-game tiebreaker in Arlington, based on Texas' four wins in the seven-game season series between the two clubs.
The stakes will be high, then, when the Rays start left-hander Matt Moore on Sunday. Manager Joe Maddon reiterated on Saturday that this is the pitcher the Rays want in such a pivotal game.
"I know Matt struggled a bit the other day with his command. But you also know that Matt can go out there and throw a gem tomorrow also," Maddon said. "That's just who he is. We set it up intentionally to be this way."
The left-hander was effectively wild on Tuesday night against the Yankees for his 16th win, allowing no runs on three hits, six walks and a career-high three wild pitches in five innings.
The Blue Jays and right-hander Todd Redmond, a native of Florida, will try to help stop the Rays -- the team he watched growing up -- from making the postseason.
"I'm going to go out there and treat it like every other start," said Redmond, "It's the last game of the year, and we have a chance to win the game. And that's how I'm going to treat it."
"We've been playing good baseball all month," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "We haven't been winning a lot of games necessarily, but we've been playing some good games. It's a good way to finish it -- we'd like to come back and get one more win tomorrow, and that's what it's all about. We'd rather be in their position, no doubt about that, but we'll come out tomorrow and hopefully Redmond has a good one. It's good for baseball, I know that."
Having an effective season since joining the rotation in July, Redmond (4-2, 3.77 ERA) has allowed more than three runs only once in his 13 starts.
In his previous outing against the Orioles, Redmond allowed two runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings for the no-decision. He's 2-0 in September with a 2.63 ERA.
"You go out there, you want to go out there and throw strikes, get ahead of hitters, and treat this like any other start," Redmond said. "Just like my last start in Baltimore. I'm still trying to earn a spot for next year, trying to impress. Go out there and throw strikes, and try to get people out."
Rays: Team playing solid in the field
• Despite the three errors the Rays committed Friday night, they have committed just 59 errors on the season, ranking them second in the Major Leagues behind the Orioles.
Friday night's game marked the first time this season the Rays committed more than two errors in a game. By contrast, the 2012 Rays committed three or more errors nine times.
• Evan Longoria has hit six career home runs in "Game 162s" (or final games of the regular season) in his career, which ties him with St. Louis great Stan Musial for the most in Major League history. Longoria hit three home runs in last year's finale and two in 2011.
Blue Jays: Oliver set to retire
• After 20 seasons, more than 1,900 innings and two previous times thinking his big league career was over, Blue Jays reliever Darren Oliver has decided to hang it up.
"Yeah, I really am," Oliver said. "I wish I could play baseball forever, but unfortunately, you know we can't. It's got to come to an end eventually."
The left-hander is looking forward to the opportunity to spend time with his kids and watch them grow.
"When you're playing baseball, you don't get to see them that much," Oliver said. "Actually, they're a little bit older now, so I got my hands full. But I still do the best I can."
Worth noting
• Moore is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in two starts against Toronto this season.
• Adam Lind made his return to the Blue Jays lineup on Saturday vs. the Rays, batting third as the team's DH. Lind had missed the previous two games with a lingering back ailment. He finished the game going 2-for-3 with three RBIs.

Aris Allen Women's Red 1930s Velvet Oxford Swing Dance Shoes
Women with Average or Narrow width feet report that these fit pretty true to size (or in some cases just a half size small).
Women who've tried these on report that these are fitting either perfectly or a half size smaller than their street shoe size: if you normally fit 7.5 -to- 8 you'll probably wear an 8 (and rarely an 8.5) in these.
Second pair of this style?If you bought one of these when they first came out then there's a small chance that they won't fit exactly the same as your original pair.

Another neat thing is that because of the size of this beast, I can actually CNC mill out the brass
parts directly instead of going the photo-etch route.
Now maybe as I move forward up the hull, the metal parts may get more complicated but I do have
a 1/32" end mill which can really do fine milling.
We shall see.
Here is a shot of the brass parts for the section I am working on currently.
This is a 2"x2" piece of 0.010 brass sheet milled with the 1/16th end mill.

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.
Sony has launched a new model in its RX range of high-end compacts. Boasting a new faster lens, built-in pop-up viewfinder and large 1"-type sensor, with a 20.1Mp resolution, is the new Sony RX100 III the ultimate point and shoot camera? |
Canon was the last maker to introduce a mirrorless camera to the market and after something of a false start with EOS M, the company has released an update with the same Hybrid CMOS II sensor as the company's Rebel SL1 (100D). Read on to find out how the new, Asia only, EOS M2 performs. |
After the initial euphoria of the Nikon 1 V1 it's probably true to say subsequent models failed to capture the imagination in quite the same way. Now with the introduction of the waterproof AW1 Nikon has cleverly won back interest in the system. Read on to find out how this super-compact and submersible model performs. |
After analyzing the sensor performance of the new Sony RX100 II we've now had the opportunity to assess its Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 28-100mm (equivalent), f/1.8-4.9 zoom. Read on to see how well the lens performs. |
Featuring a 12-Mpix back-illuminated 1/1.7inch type CMOS sensor, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 is highly portable compact camera with a hugely versatile, image stabilized 28-200mm (equivalent) f/2.0-5.9 zoom. This is our first lens test on a compact camera with a 1/1.7-inch type image sensor. Read on to see how well this optical zoom 7.1x bearing the prestigious Leica-brand name performs in our labs. |
Sony's update to the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 includes provision for a optional EVF and a useful pull-out rear LCD, but the head line news is the inclusion of a newly developed back-illuminated Exmor R BSI-CMOS sensor with superior low-light performance. Read on to see how well the new sensor performs in our labs. |
In the compact camera market manufacturers will go a long way to make their product stand out: Carl Zeiss or Leica lenses for instance offer a certain cachet. The Samsung EX2F has several features that make you want to look closer; it has a Schneider Kreuznach lens, with an f1.4 aperture. It has built in WiFi to help you share or back-up your pictures and it is housed in a chassis of magnesium alloy. Are these things enough in this very tough market sector? |
Announced this January at CES 2013, the Pentax MX-1 is Pentax's first foray into the relatively crowded field of high-end-compact cameras. With a 12-megapixel, 1/1.7-inch backlit CMOS sensor, the Pentax MX-1 competes directly with established high-end compacts like the Canon PowerShot S110, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7, Olympus XZ-2 iHS, and Nikon Coolpix P7700 among others, many of which have already been through multiple updates and iterations. |
This year's theme for high-end compacts is undoubtedly the switch over from CCD to BSI CMOS sensors, but maker's are having to work hard to make the cameras attractive to those users who might also be tempted by interchangeable lens based mirror-less models. Olympus' upgrade to the original XZ-1 sees plenty of promising features including the new 12-Mpix BSI CMOS chip, but how well does it fair in our exhaustive tests? |
Even though smartphones have eroded the sales of digital compacts at the lower-end of the market, the high-end models using relatively large 1/1.7-inch type sensors continue to be popular. The DMC-LX7 is Panasonic's compact "expert"' model aimed at amateurs and advanced users alike, and replaces the previous iteration, the highly regarded DMC-LX5. This new iteration might represent a serious challenge to both the Canon PowerShot G15 and the Nikon Coolpix P7700. |
A noise benchmark of 187 digital cameras by Peter van den HamerDxOMark Camera Sensor is a raw benchmark for camera bodies by DxO Labs. The benchmark is "raw" because it measures image quality using Raw output files. It is also raw as DxO's data can be used to cook up camera reviews that cover more aspects than image quality. |
The new Sony RX1 offers discerning photographers the unique proposition of a full frame CMOS sensor and fixed 35mm f/2 prime lens in a compact shell. Perfect if you're after great image quality without the bulk, weight and inconvenience of a large DSLR. But how will the RX1 perform in the DxOMark Sensor Scores? |
Canon's PowerShot G15 is the latest iteration of the popular G-series compacts aimed at enthusiasts. It packs a number of refinements over its predecessor, not the least being a new f/1.8-2.8 high-speed zoom, larger, high-resolution screen and a smaller, more compact body. It also marks the move from CCD to a Canon made CMOS with a fourfold increase in maximum sensitivity and full HD (1080p) video capture. Will the new Canon show any advance in image quality over the earlier G12? Read on to find out. |
Canon's Powershot S110 in an update on its previous Powershot S100, there are some improvements in the styling and user interface and an increase in the maximum ISO, which should be welcome for users working in low light. However the DxO Mark overall score fails to live up to its predecessor, so are the changes purely cosmetic? |
The Nikon 1 J2 retains many of the same characteristics of its older brother, the J1, including its 1", 10-Mpix CMOS sensor. Other than its new 3", 921,000-point screen, the new version of Nikon's compact hybrid puts particular emphasis on creative modes. How does the Nikon 1 J2's sensor perform with respect to its predecessor, to its direct competitors, and to expert-level hybrids and compacts? Some answers from DxOMark. |
Sony's latest expert compact camera, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, incorporates a 1-inch sensor that is larger than the 1/1.7" and 2/3" sensors of its competitors. Sony has already surprised us over the past few years with its highly efficient CMOS sensors. Will this be the case for the RX100? Our DxOMark tests reveal the answer. |

No Lens sharpness measurements?
I have noted that none (or few) tests of compact cameras include any sharpness scores or measurements. Is there a reason that DXO doesn't provide those measurement?

The ring is still pretty despite the dull lack lustre diamonds. I bought 2 to stack with my plain gold band. It looks pretty stacked, and by itselt, it looks nice and dainty. Just don't put it next to a better quality diamond ring cos it'll bring out the dullness of the diamonds. For me, it serves its purpose. I wouldn't be wearing it everyday for fear the diamonds may fall out. This ring is perfect for those with small hands. I wouldn't recommend it if your hands are larger than a size 7.
Arrived on time matched the engagement ring well. Good deal for the price.
I received this ring today and am very pleased! My husband wanted matching wedding bands and I've been looking for something to add a little sparkle and feminize my titanium and gold ring. This ring is absolutely perfect! I have short fingers that do not look good with multiple rings but this is so petite that it dresses up my wedding band without bulk. The ring is very narrow and might be a little inconspicuous if worn by itself but is wonderful for the purpose that I bought it. The stones are all nice and not discolored and the setting is very well made. Sweet!
I ordered 2 of these rings. The order came quickly, however the diamond sizes were different on the two rings. I contacted overstock and they quickly sent me a new ring to replace the one that wasn't right and sending back the messed up one was easy with their email return labels.
I really like that the diamonds could be so small and the whole ring is so thin! IT goes beautifully with my engagement ring
If your just looking for a nice shiny 14K band and do not care about the quality of the diamonds then I highly recommend because the band is adorable. But OMG the diamonds. Pure cloudiness. No shine at all. Didn't see much carbon which is nice but who cares if the diamonds are milk colored.
This eternity ring is beautiful and it is just what I wanted for a 25 year marriage anniversary ring. At first I ordered a size 8 ring because I didn't realize that it came in half sizes. I then ordered a half size smaller and it fit perfectly. I was tempted to keep both rings because they looked great together. The price was just what I was looking for because I didn't want to spend thousands on a ring. I love this ring.
I ordered this band to wear it with my wedding ring, it is beautiful, delicate and sparkles when exposed to the sun but it is thin and light weight. I think it is a little price for what you get.
Nice ring with "white - sparkly - and uniform" diamonds. Looks great.
My fiancé and I purchased this ring as my wedding band. I was a little nervous about how it would look in person, as these definitely aren't the best quality daimonds you can buy, but I was thrilled when we received the ring. It sparkles beautifully and looks gorgeous on. I can't wait to get to wear it every day!

Leonard Maltin on Destroy All Movies!!! | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under reviews, Destroy All Movies, Daily OCD | 26 Jan 2011 12:03 PM |
It's a Daily OCD Celebrity Endorsement Special Edition! Thanks to Leonard Maltin for this great writeup on his Movie Crazy blog:
"I'll be honest and say that I wasn't eagerly awaiting an encyclopedic directory of punks on screen, but Destroy All Movies!!! The Complete Guide to Punks on Film has come along just the same...and it's pretty impressive. [...] In addition to snarky and well-informed write-ups of such titles as Legend of the Roller Blade Seven and Crash 'n' Burn there are interviews with such filmmakers and performers as Mary Woronov, Alex Cox, Susan Seidelman, Clint Howard, and the folks behind Rock 'n' Roll High School, featuring The Ramones. If you're into anarchic cinema and its offshoots, this is a great reference-and a fun browse."

Parker tries to keep A's undefeated vs. Astros
Oakland has won 12 in a row against Houston, including 10 this year
The first half of the season is over, but the narrative remains the same.
The A's continue to lack hospitality in the Astros' first season as members of the American League West. Oakland, division leaders by three games over the Rangers and reigning AL West champs, are now 10-0 against the Astros this season after Josh Reddick clubbed a go-ahead two-run home run in Monday's 4-3 win at Minute Maid Park.
Houston right-hander Jarred Cosart will look to change his hometown team's fortunes when he takes the mound on Tuesday in the Astros' second-to-last contest before a 10-game road trip.
Cosart's start will be his first at home for the rookie, who was stellar in his Major League debut, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh and beating the Rays, 2-1, on July 12.
Cosart grew up cheering for the Astros and attended the World Series in Houston in 2005. He's a huge Houston sports fan, who was drafted by the Phillies before the Astros acquired him in 2011 in the Hunter Pence trade. He's been one of their top pitching prospects ever since.
"I couldn't have asked for any better way to come out of the gate. They were one of the hottest teams in baseball," Cosart said of the Rays, who have won 18 of 20. "To go out there and have an outing like I did, it was a very special time. Like I said before, that's in the past and now I have to focus on the A's, who are on fire. I know the Astros haven't beaten them this year, and that will be another challenge."
Cosart said he's leaving 75 tickets for family, but plenty of friends are buying their own.
"It's been a crazy week, and to top it off making my first home start, it's going to be something I'll never forget," he said. "I'll have to put the nerves aside and try to not do too much. Just go out there and try to pitch like I know I'm capable of."
Opposite Cosart will be Jarrod Parker, who'll be working on 12 days of rest and has allowed five hits or fewer in each of his last nine starts, holding the opposition to a .172 average in that time. Not surprisingly, he hasn't lost any of those starts.
Over the last two months, Parker has lowered his ERA by more than two runs, and he's been one of the better pitchers in the AL since mid-May. He hasn't surrendered more than three runs in a start since May 6.
Prospect Villar bats leadoff in big league debut
The Astros didn't give rookie shortstop Jonathan Villar much time to get acclimated to life as a Major Leaguer, putting him in the leadoff spot for his big league debut on Monday.
Villar, the 12th-ranked prospect in the Astros' system by MLB.com (Cosart is No. 4), had a bunt single in his second at-bat, then stole second and and scored on Chris Carter's two-out single to give the Astros a 2-0 lead in the third.
Villar, 22, was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City following Sunday's game after hitting .278 with 16 doubles, eight triples, eight homers, 41 RBIs and 31 stolen bases in 90 games this season. Manager Bo Porter said Villar will be given every chance to show what he can do at the position.
"It's sink or swim," Porter said. "You look at the skill sets, and the skill sets will tell you he has an opportunity to be successful. We're in a position we can give him the opportunity, and if there are struggles we can stick with the struggles, because we believe at the end of the day the skill sets are going to show through."
Cespedes again sits, remains day to day
As expected, Yoenis Cespedes remained out of the A's lineup on Monday, and his chances of playing on Tuesday appear slim, since he's yet to even take batting practice.
Manager Bob Melvin said the plan is for the left fielder, who is dealing with a sore left wrist, to take batting practice on Tuesday, making a Wednesday or Thursday return more likely.
But Melvin didn't rule out the possibility of Cespedes playing on Tuesday.
"If everything goes well, and he doesn't feel any soreness, he'll take batting practice tomorrow," Melvin said. "He did everything in the cage today, from soft toss to tee work, everything but live hitting, and felt good."
Cespedes has missed Oakland's four games since the All-Star break.
Worth noting
• The A's have outscored the Astros, 72-34, this season.
• The A's were charged with three errors, went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left eight runners on base on Monday but still pulled out the win.
• Houston, which has lost six in a row, has dropped 14 straight games at home against division opponents.

Art Crawl
Our first stop was a temporary exhibition, Girodet: Romantic Rebel. In case you've not heard of him, which you probably haven't, Girodet was a student of David who has kept a rather low profile since his heyday in the years just on either side of 1800. There's considerable buzz around the show, which was the brainchild of the Cleveland Museum of Art and helped along by the Louvre. Girodet, so the gossip goes, is a master sadly neglected and now rediscovered.
Um, no.
There are about 100 pieces in the show, ranging from small prints and drawings to heroic canvasses. All of them are at least workmanlike, several have considerable bravura, and one–his take on the myth of Endymion–could not be improved upon, especially in its use of dramatic light. But a neglected master? No. If you plan on stopping by, Endymion is hanging in the second room, so you can duck in and duck out without missing anything.
(The show's signature image, The Burial of Atala, is hanging in the final room and it's typical eau sucré from the period. Pretty? Oh my word, yes. Why, the only thing missing is the basket of kittens!)
All the same, I'm pathetically grateful to the Art Institute for not mounting one effing Impressionist show after another. I had to deal with that during my years in Boston, and it was one of the things that drove me out of the city.
After Girodet, we wandered about the galleries with no fixed plan. My mind, which turns (ha, ha) very much on spinning just at present, kept spotting works I'd never given much notice before, such as La Filatrice:
Ain't she a honey? Here's a close-up of the business end of her apparatus.
Then, in the Thorne Rooms (an amazing collection of miniature tableaux that showcase the history of interior design), I found this:
In the photograph, it's just about actual size. Impressive, eh?
Everything was just dandy until we visited the Impressionist galleries. Tim and I were standing in front of a Monet water lily canvas of which he's fond when a guard came over, tapped me on the shoulder, and said, "Sir? Would you kindly tell your sheep to please stop licking the haystacks?"
I was going to deliver a stern lecture about the effects of ovine saliva on oil paint, but in Dolores's defense it was getting to be time for lunch so I let it go.
I shouldn't have. As were leaving, we passed a children's art class and Dolores, who feels strongly about art education (she's apparently just two credits shy of her MFA in the field) decided it would not do to have the little darlings working from a dreary bust by Horatio Greenough.
We were then asked if we would mind leaving the museum and never coming back again.
You'd think I'd have learned my lesson, but no. The next day, C wanted to check out the new Warhol exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art and there was simply no keeping her at home.
It was all downhill from here. Apparently the nice people at the MCA don't care what Liz Taylor did to you at Andy's birthday party in 1963. They still expect you to leave her portrait right there on the wall where they put it.

I have to chime in with everyone else who loves Dolores... she's a riot! She reminds me of my great-aunt Esther(except Esther was a flapper, but same personality...) Also the Thorne rooms are my favorite.... I could spend hours in there marveling at the perfect tiny rooms.
- Cheryl said...
YES!!! You can do a DOLORES project like the FLAT STANLEY project!!!
I love it!!!
go here and check it out!!

What child wouldn't love to draw Doloris instead of a dreary bust??? I know I would rather have Doloris as a model..... I'm sure she would be rather easy to work with... lol.

Is that the posterior view of C in the last photo? He looks quite fetching, at least from the back.

Oh dear it just gets better .....Dolores is a star ..seeing her being lifted bodily out of that museum would have been too wonderful.She really is a frightful name-dropper .I dread hearing what Liz did to her except maybe lean over and use a bit to wipe her lipstick?"I'm not a bloody cotton-wool ball dear"
- Leslie said...
Dolores is just a bit short on her MFA, huh? Is that (in her case) Mistress of Fleece Arts??
If and when you compile Dolores' biography I will get on the amazon pre-order list, that's for sure. - 1:35 PM

I think it's great that Dolores was posing for those kids, but, um, should she really have been smoking in front of them? Such a bad example, not to mention bad for the art . . .

Franklin, did Delores tell you about Saturday evening? She called me at the hotel when you were over at C's place, and she asked if I'd meet her for a cocktail. I naturally assumed she wanted to buy me a drink and apologize for getting us kicked out of the Art Institute that afternoon. (BTW, I've never been so embarrassed!)
Apparently, the thought of apologizing never entered that woolly head of hers. She just kept dropping hints about going back to the hotel with me. The more she drank the more inappropriate I felt her suggestions were becoming, so I insisted on bringing her back to your place. I didn't know if you were home or not and didn't want to be alone in your apt with her, so I asked the doorman to make sure she got up there ok. He very graciously said he'd be glad to, but I swear I heard him mutter something under his breath about "if this happens one more time . . . " I have a feeling she told you something happened between us, but don't you believe her.
It was so good to see you, and let's not wait so long to get together again. But next time I'm in town, please don't tell Ms. D.
P.S. She didn't even pay for the drinks! - 2:14 PM
- Nik said...
I have tuned into your blog more often since the addition of Dolores. I can't wait to see what she does next.

I LOVE the shadow you added to Dolores in the second picture. It almost diverted my eye away from a great back-pic.
Again, I picture you giggling to yourself as you work Photoshop with mastery. - 2:28 PM

They let sheep into the Art Institute? At the MCA it doesn't surprise me, as they might consider her to be an exhibit!

hey franklin-- dolores sure knows how to make her mark--i wonder what her comments would be in the greek statuary room--gotta love the gal (and her creator!)can't wait to get me shirt-- have a good night! bess
- Lucia said...
Dolores apparently has a wonderful collection of eyeglasses and hair accessories, in addition to a shadow to call her own. What more could a girl, er, sheep need?
- Yvonne said...
I love the Warhol stuff. I have yet to go to the Warhol museum, though. For shame, as I live nearby.
- Donna said...
Delores reminds a bit of Dame Edna and Auntie Mame. Keep the stories coming and Tim certainly did have his hands full with her. You may need to get a tracking device to implant in her.
- Lorrie said...
I am coming to Chicago in May. If Dolores is still there, I would love to take her out and get drunk with her.
- Zee said...
LOL! Just the art crawl I would've loved to tag along in! Most excellent!

i noticed that when you were visiting the first museum, that dolores was wearing a purple bow and red glasses. is she a red-hatter? (if she remembers a party in '63, she's definitely old enough for it!)
and i think dolores needs her own t-shirt (i'll buy one, i promise) - 8:44 PM

Excuse me Mr. Habit, but what kind of blog are you running here? First a NAKED man and now look. That woman's NIPPLES are erect.
I'm pretty sure you're making some kind of perverted joke about that sheep too, but I don't get it. - 10:26 PM

If you do up Dolores as a t-shirt, I'd love to see the breakfast one. She's an absolute hoot! (And so are you, hon!)
- Jean said...
I wouldn't have imagined that you could have had another excellence left to reveal by now, but there it is! You have spotted the tedium of Impressionism!
I don't know Girodet. I'll ask.
Love to you and Delores both. Jean - 2:36 AM
- Sean said...
Your stories have taken a very funny turn what with Dolores jumping in the pictures. Very funny indeed.
Oh, and by the way, we have had the Gees Bend Quilts here at the MFA -- that is inbetween yet another Impresionist Collection...LOL - 9:43 AM
- Kathy Merrick said...
Franklin, hen, how pleased I am that your friend Tim is a conspirator in the funny tales department.
I recently attended a lecture at W&M by the director of the Dahesh Museum in NYC.
It was entitled "The Artists Monet Loved To Hate".
All Mannerist and chocolate box and quite endearing. - 10:40 AM
- birdfarm said...
Ah, vintage Franklin... as a non-knitter I admit to a slight bias in favor of art museums over spindles, but please don't crucify me.
It's funny that Cheryl brought up Flat Stanley... the pix of Dolores were already reminding me of the time my little cousin Kelly sent me Flat Stanley while I lived in NYC... I spent a couple hours after work one night Photoshopping Flat Stanley into crowd scenes from every NYC tourist spot. Then I printed them out on the color laser printer (I was a graphic designer) and destroyed the evidence (all the files I had saved on the server at work--note to self--do not do this even if you're sure you'll be fired!).
So of course I immediately lost the prints and Flat Stanley and was absolutely broken-hearted for all my lost work, and as the weeks went on, totally wracked with guilt about my little cousin Kelly.
Several years later her mother visited and I told her this story, hoping her mother would say, "Oh, heavens, I'd forgotten all about that!" But no. Her mother said, "Oh, yes, she was the only one in her kindergarten class who didn't get Flat Stanley back from where she sent it. And she still asks me about it sometimes, to this day--'Mommy do you think Cousin [Birdfarm] still has my Flat Stanley?'"
I don't understand why I didn't immediately throw myself out the window.... but I didn't... and there you have the tragic story of Kelly, Flat Stanley, and Cousin Birdfarm the enormous fuckup.
I shouldn't write anything in public at 2 a.m., should I.
Anyway, love you, love the post, Franklin darling. Keep 'em coming. - 3:00 AM

I heart Dolores.
I can't wait to see where she shows up next.
Does she knit or spin herself? Or does she just pimp herself out to the fiber arts community? - 12:12 PM
