This is the puppet created by Sasori from the body of Sunagakure's Third Kazekage. The efforts that Sasori went through to acquire the puppet made it his favourite.[1][2] In the end, Sakura Haruno destroyed the puppet and in the anime, when Chiyo tried to use the head to attack Sasori, he simply incinerated it.
After being converted into human puppet, Sasori installed several weapons into his body, all of which were soaked in Sasori's special brand of poison, which kills the victim after three days of painful paralysis. This was also applied to the Kazekage's Iron Sand which he manipulated through Magnet Release — a skill Sasori later gained access to because of the fact that the puppet had been created from a corpse.
- Retractable blades in the formation of a claw on the right arm.
- Thousand Hands Manipulation Force.
- Hidden buzz saw in the left arm.
- Iron Sand abilities (stored within and externally released from the mouth).
- Retractable scythe hidden in the right arm.
- Magnetic apparatus stored inside the left chest compartment.
- Both the puppet Hiruko and the Third Kazekage were stated to be Sasori's favourite.
- The Third Kazekage puppet was sealed in a scroll with the Japanese word for "three" (三, san) on it.
- This is the only confirmed human puppet to appear in the manga.

We knew this day was coming. Ever since the slave revolt began we knew that, historically, we would finally have to see this day and it happened during Separate Paths, one of the most emotionally charged episodes in the series' history. Spartacus seeks to lead his army of slaves over the Italian Alps and into what they hope will be their freedom. Crixus however wants to take the fight to Rome. After nearly a full season of bickering between the two Spartacus finally relents and gives Crixus his approval to lead a faction of the army towards Rome itself while Spartacus takes a larger portion (although made up of many women and children) towards the mountains.
Before that, the army attacks a small Roman settlement gaining much needed food and supplies. They use their victory as a celebration but also a going away tribute to Crixus. This consists of more wine flowing and the most copious amount of nudity since the days of the Batiatus's villa in Capua. But it's evident this is the last party. It's a sendoff to those soldiers whom even Spartacus seems to know he will not see again. Agron confirms this belief as he agrees to go with Spartacus but leaves his lover Nasir behind. Crixus has taken a backseat to Spartacus for most of the year but this was his shining moment. He delivers a memorable, rousing, William Wallace-esque speech his army before their final battle.
The Rivalry between Caesar and Tiberius reaches its zenith as Caesar threatens to expose young Tiberius's rape of his father's slave Kore. Tiberius reponds by attacking Caesar and then has his guards restrain him why he humiliates him in perhaps the most shocking and degrading way possible. You have to admire Caesar for his honor in trying to keep Crassus focused. For the first time Crassus is showing cracks after his humiliation by Spartacus at the ridge and with his slave's betrayal, even going so far as assaulting a Roman Senator who had arrived to check on the campaign's progress. I certainly hope the rumors of a spinoff show involving Caesar are true. He's a compelling character and I want to see more of his story. I also want to see what further happens between he and Tiberius whether in the last two episodes or in a spinoff. Tiberius is a fictional character although he is likely based upon Crassus's oldest son who was also named Marcus Licinius Crassus.
Getting back to Crixus, while his fate was traumatic to say the least, as mentioned we knew it was coming. It will be interesting to see how Spartacus's fate plays out. While it's assumed he was killed in battle, historical chroniclers of the period have noted that his body was never found. Certainly his body would have been a great prize to Crassus. Some historians have even speculated that Spartacus may have survived and escaped to live out a peaceful life. Whatever happens, the final two episodes should be a ride to remember.

Yeah , history is the spoiler of Crixus fate , the writers should had him die a warriors death with sword in hand , but with a spear in the back .they really put alot of money into this last season showing thounds of warriors an soldiers fighting . I was also happy that Tiberus got even with Ceasur in a strange way(LOL) , but this episode is one of stand -out in the series with the fate of some of top players in the show . NO , if they made a spin-off on this series i hope its with Gannicus an not Ceasur . I just couldnt enjoy watching Romans living the good life , while they kill the poor.To anyone who hasnt seen the show yet , watch it !
Given all the dark stuff going on in this episode, I have a suspicion that the whole bit with Crassus asking why Caesar wasn't on a horse was done for (admittedly dark) comic effect.
As great as the episode was, I still have trouble with one thing: How the heck did Crassus find out that they were splitting? I watched the episode twice, and at no point does it explain this. Maybe I missed it?
Caesar wasn't involved directly in the Third Seville War, which this is kind of bothering me. Pompei's forces were integral in defeating Spartacus, and there isn't even a mention of the name Pompei.
Flickman...Pompei was mentioned about three episodes back and how his ships were returning. Historically, Pompei got a lot of credit for victory in the 3rd Servile war although historians believe it was unwarranted as he basically mopped up what Crassus had already defeated leading to a rivalry between the two men. As for how Crassus knew that Crixus had split that's not all too difficult. One assumes he had forward scouts. He was only a few days behind Spartacus and its kind of hard to hide several thousand people suddenly moving in a different direction.
Domino as much as I live Gannicus his defeat and death was documented as well. The producers have taken some liberties with characters but in general they have stuck to the main historical events. With Spartacus...i think its 50 - 50. Spartacus's body was never found so if the producers decided to give him an out and let him escape i would not have a problem with it,
With you janson. I like gannicus, but I think he carks it next episode. I'm guessing Spartacus also croaks, but the two women (Crassus' slave and the Roman he gave away) survive, with the baby that was born.
The best thing about Crixus' death ..... we can now get more of Manu Bennett in "The Hood" ... err .... "Arrow"!
As far as Ceasar .... I'm guessing that he was never really raped by some Roman punk kid, but I can't wait to see how this Ceasar gets his revenge. I'm thinking it doesn't exactly bode well for a kind-of fictional Tiberius character.
I really like where a spinoff show could go from here, with Ceasar in the lead-role.
By the way, even though there was no proof of Spartacus's death in the final battle, and they could easily go that route .... I really don't see anyway this Spartacus survives. For one, in this show, Crassus has now seen Spartacus on at least two different occassions, and Ceasar knows what he looks like. Do you really think this Crassus is gonna just assume Spartacus is dead without seeing his body/head? Does anyone truly believe this will not come down to Spartacus v. Crassus in a duel/fight to the death (in which I'm assuming Crassus will have some sort of advantage), even though that did not actually happen? And finally, I can't see this version of Spartacus making his escape, like a Thief in the Night. He is in it til the bitter end.

Shelf Life
What is the shelf life of preparedness foods? It is impossible to give a definitive answer without knowing how the foods are stored and in what containers.
Extended shelf life is primarily affected by oxygen, fat, moisture, heat and time - the lower the values the better. Excessive quantities of these elements will cause loss of nutritional value, off flavors, odors, and rancidity. Handling and physical damage must also be kept to a minimum. Damage to can seams and excessive rust must be avoided. Be sure to observe our storage tips for best results.
Provided that proper storage procedures have been followed, we can offer general guidelines as to the shelf life expectations of Alpine Aire foods. Once the foods leave our facilities we have no control over storage conditions. So be conscientious and avoid high heat - the cooler the better.
NOTE: Although it is possible that some beans, grains, and other types of food will store for long periods of time in ideal conditions, we feel it is inappropriate to promise or suggest shelf lives of any longer than 15 years. AlpineAire Foods does its best, utilizing the latest canning techniques and oxygen absorber technology, to ensure the longest possible shelf life. Because of the various factors which affect shelf life, over which we have no control, we cannot guarantee that your results will match our estimates. In order to maximize shelf life, do not expose to high or freezing temperatures for an extended period of time.
Proper Food Storage Tips
It is crucial that you store food reserves properly.
Avoid exposure to heat and moisture. Make sure foods are not accessible to insects or animals.
Never store food directly on the ground or on concrete floors - moisture can build up inside containers.
Avoid such storage places that experience temperature build-up such as attics, garages or car trunks. Ideally, storage for Gourmet Reserves should not exceed room temperature for extended periods.
Store in a location that's accessible so that periodic inspections are easy. Rotate supplies.
Avoid excessive and rough handling of pouch and canned foods.
Estimated shelf life in years

The Woodlands, TX, United States
"Tried It, and Then Got the Whole Series"
I listened to to this to see if I was at interested in it. Wow, I was impressed. It has left me with a desire to find, and wear, a bullet proof corset. This a a nicely written series and I really liked it. Love the narration by James Langton.
"Fascinating Listen"
Okay, I know what you are thinking. A history on the discovery of sulfa drugs. Dry and boring. NO! Not dry, not boring and actually interesting. There are quirks and turns in the path of this discovery that are just fascinating. The factors playing into the discovery are intriguing.. The coincidences are amazing. I really enjoyed listening to this. I learned a lot. Like sulfa was discovered before penicillin. And a whole lot more. So try it, you just might like it.
"Yipee! Great Book! Listen to This!"
I listened to this while hiking at Big Bend National Park. This book made me want to find me a Polanski and become a National Forest Ranger. It is a great book and amazingly well read. It is a gripping story, and you will find yourself doing stuff to keep from turning it off. Like laying in your tent in the dark, knowing you need to go to sleep, but not doing it so you can listen some more. I actually came back and bought a couple of books that weren't on tape about this subject so I could learn more. Awesome! Even if you are not particularly into National Parks, history, or the Forestry Service, this is a good listen with suspense, fear, intrigue, political machinations, shenanigans, fire, and salvation.
"Not very true to Period, but Nice listen"
I liked the story and the performance. The characters are a little too "modern" for the 16 century, but it was still a great listen!
"Empowering and Full of Good Advice"
I really enjoyed listening to this, and I have started incorporating what I learned into where I work. And it is working, much to my boss's surprise. You might be surprised if you try it too. I may not work on the best damn ship in the Navy, but I definitely now work at the best damn store in the chain.
"Listened and Loved This Book"
Okay, first this is a wonderfully written, fantastically imagined steam punk novel. The world may be based on the Victorian Age, but it is way beyond anything Victoria knew! Gail Carriger writes a great story that turns several ideas on their head. The whole series is just fascinating! Emily Gray narrates the tale very well. Give this a try. It is really hard not to laugh out loud while listening though, so be careful.
"Awesome Listen!"
Well, the Iron Druid is back. Luke Daniels has become my favorite narrator. Kevin Hearne has written a series that is just excellent, and every new book he has written just builds on the previous books in a positive way. I listened to this the week it came out, and I have listened to it twice since then to just enjoy it again.
"Wow! Learned New Stuff, and Enjoyed it Immensely"
Listened to this while hiking at Big Bend National Park. Loved every minute of it. In fact, I got so distracted listening to the section involving the Black Plague, that I hiked further than I had planned so I wouldn't have to stop listening. It was extremely well narrated. The writer does exactly what he set out to do in the premise, and I would recommend this to anyone who has even the vaguest interest in the history of Britain.
"Entertaining and Mind Broadening"
This new history of Britain incorporates new knowledge and the new insights gleaned from the study of "ordinary" people and how the great events of history impact them as well as the principals involved. It was narrated very well, and was easy to follow. I am looking forward to listening to Volume 3.
"Completely Redefines the LBJ Presidency"
I was a child when LBJ was president, and I didn't know the historic period in which I was living would be a strong influence on the politics of today. After listening to this book, I found that I had a greater understanding of the The Great Society, the social turmoil at the time of the Johnson presidency, the consequences of the romanticizing of Camelot with Kennedy, and gained a greater perspective of what Johnson's legacy is to my own and other following generations. I learned a lot, and I think before anyone starts talking abut current social programs and their impact on the federal budget and the growth of government, they should read or listen to this book. It is extremely informative and I am thrilled to have listened to it.

Tribe, Astros open set, seek return to winning ways
Cleveland's losing streak at four; Houston has dropped five straight
Astros manager Bo Porter is not ignoring the standings.
He knows his team has lost five games in a row and just wrapped up its first foray into the American League West with only four wins in 15 tries.
Yes, Porter watched his team finish a nine-game road trip with a 3-6 record, but the Astros are going back home and the manager still believes the best is yet to come.
"The league is also getting used to us as we're adjusting," Porter said. "It's a long season and we will see each other a lot. This is our first trip through. I'm sure we'll get a good read as we get deeper into the season."
The Astros defeated the Rangers on Opening Day and won three games in a row over a span of two series against the Mariners and Angels last week. They have struggled ever since.
"A win is big every day whether it is the first day of a road trip or the last," Porter said. "These guys have handled it well. They come to the park every day in high spirits. It doesn't carry over."
It will be up to Lucas Harrell to help get the Astros back into the win column on Friday against the Indians. Harrell allowed eight earned runs to Oakland on April 7, but has given up only one earned run in each of his other two starts this season.
What's more, Harrell struck out five and gave up six hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Angels in his last outing. His lone blemish was a solo home run to Josh Hamilton.
"My goal is to keep us in the game," Harrell said. "We took the two-run lead early and I tried to keep us in the lead and that's why in the situation with Hamilton, I felt like I could challenge him there. When you make a mistake to a good hitter like that, he's going to hit the ball a long way."
Right-hander Brett Myers, who pitched parts of three seasons for Houston, is scheduled to take the hill for Cleveland on Friday.
The Indians enter Friday's game on a four-game losing streak, and like Porter, manager Terry Francona isn't ignoring his club's slump this early in the season. The Tribe hasn't cracked the three-run mark during the cold streak, batting a combined .195.
"Always. You have to be strong enough to fight through it," Francona said. "As a hitter, you're going to look up and see your batting average where you're not comfortable, and you've got to be strong enough to still walk up to the plate with your chest out, knowing that you're a good hitter. I try to remind guys that all the time. It's the same with ERA."
Although he isn't ignoring the record, Francona added he doesn't want his club thinking about the standings as they approach the plate Friday.
"You're looking at it every day, so you've got to be strong enough in what you believe in to just stay in the moment," Francona said. "The best way to rectify that is to play a good game tonight. If you do that enough, you look up and things are right where you want them to be. If you try to get ahead of yourself, and think about your record, and think about next week, that doesn't necessarily work."
Indians: Chisenhall makes adjustments
• Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall was locked in from the plate coming out of Spring Training, but has struggled this season. The left-hander has a .200 average, but Francona and pitching coach Ty Van Burkleo might have discovered the problem.
"All spring he was thinking left-center," Francona said. "Not necessarily wanting to hit the ball there, but being lined up so he could cover the plate. And he did it extremely well. I think as he continued into the season, his batting stance started to close off more and more and more, and I don't think he realized it."
"Ty's trying to get him back more to even. Now, setting his sights on left-center is great. I just think it all of a sudden became a little more physical also, and he got himself into a position where, for him to get to the ball and square it up, he had to get more out front than he normally does."
Indians: Giambi feeling sharp
• After becoming the third-oldest player to homer for Cleveland on Wednesday, designated hitter Jason Giambi said he has been pleased with his swing early on this season.
"I've been excited where my swing has been for missing that time at the beginning of the year," Giambi said. "I was kind of a little bit surprised. When I got in there that first game [Sunday], I didn't quite know where I'd be. I took out of there a lot of confidence with where my swing was at.
"I was excited about [the home run]. It's nice to get a little results and get the first one out of the way."
Astros: Altuve remains hot
• Jose Altuve went 3-for-5 on Wednesday against Oakland and is hitting .365 for the season. He has reached base safely in 14 of 15 games this season.
• Chris Carter finished the nine-game road trip with 13 hits, four home runs and nine RBIs.
• The Astros have hit 15 homers in 15 games this month.
Worth noting
• Astros first baseman Carlos Pena is one of three active players with at least 25 bunt hits and at least 250 career home runs. Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and St. Louis outfielder Carlos Beltran have also accomplished the feat.
• Myers has struggled in his last two starts and has allowed eight home runs this season.

- Brian J. (,)It's nice to find a company who can own up when they make a mistake. I purchased a 3000va APC UPS, they accidentally sent me one with the wrong plug. They made a great effort to help, and gave me very favorable options to resolve the issue. Needless to say this could have been a bad experience, but they handled it well. You can't say that about many other companies out there!

Europe Marilynn Weaver , April 21, 2014 "All of our guides were beyond fabulous! Our time in Dublin was much too short, would have loved to stay there at least one more full day.

Europe Randy Gramlich , October 07, 2013 "Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great.

We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "
Europe Jay Steffan , September 24, 2013 "We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy. We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

Stults, Padres looking to solve Mets in finale
The Padres could use a break heading into Thursday's series finale with the Mets.
Not only have they had to adjust to the cold New York weather in their second straight loss, 8-4, on Wednesday night, but they also had to sweat through a scorching performance by Matt Harvey.
Even Mets Manager Terry Collins was taken aback at the young starter's command.
"It was an unbelievable game," Collins said. "You walk in that weather and grab the ball and it feels like a cue ball."
Eric Stults could be just the starter the Padres need to warm themselves up.
Stults will make his first start as the Padres look to avoid the sweep on Thursday afternoon at Citi Field. Captain America David Wright and company will have to watch out as Stults will likely try to work them inside per his Spring Training adjustments for right-handed hitters.
"That was something I wanted to do, and it's something I put an emphasis on, trying to pound that part of the plate," Stults said. "That last start [March 30 in San Antonio against the Rangers] was the first outing where I was consistently able to do that. It's always been something I've needed to do to keep guys honest. It's more picking a time when to do it."
Stults turned heads last season -- blazing through almost 100 innings with the Padres with a career-best eight wins and a 2.91 ERA. Manager Bud Black might usually have had Stults in the fourth spot, but might be trying to round him into shape sooner at Citi Field instead of at Coors Field the next day. Stults was 2-2 with a 5.87 ERA through six Spring Training starts.
Stults will match up against the Mets' Dillon Gee, who hopes to return to stellar form after surgery cut his season short in 2012. The Texas native was on a career-best pace through 17 starts last year, posting a 4.10 ERA and almost 100 strikeouts.
The Padres will have their work cut out for them if Gee rounds back into shape after his slow Spring Training. Gee is 2-0 against San Diego and has allowed just one home run with a 1.32 ERA through 30 at bats.
Padres: Stults vs. Mets
Stults earned his first Major League victory in his first start against the Mets at Shea Stadium for the Dodgers. Stults is 2-1 all time against the Mets and controlled them well in his first Citi Field appearance last year -- notching the win after allowing one unearned run through five innings.
Mets: Laffey may be on deck
With Shaun Marcum dealing with a neck injury, the Mets are planning on left-hander Aaron Laffey as their first option to step into the rotation. With Marcum "very unlikely" to come back beforehand, Collins hopes the left-hander will be able to step up.
"Hopefully he comes in Sunday and pitches very well," Collins said. "If he does, he'll most likely get another start. But we're going to take it one start at a time right now."

I just got a quick note from Chris Campbell that the SubRon6 / Indy Admirals Winter Fun Run is a go for February 10, 2007 at the Carmel, Indiana Sr. High Natatorium (pool). Thanks to Chris and the Indy boys for setting this up once again. There will be both subs and surface targets in the pool, but we have been fortunate not to have had any serious fender benders thus far
More details as they come available!
For more photos of this great indoor venue - go to http://www.subcommittee.com/SubComm/photos_show.cfm?CID=203
TIME: Noon to five PM
It is a perfect indoor sub facility - and there is a good amount of natural light from the large windows on the side of the building. You don't need to be a SubCommittee member to watch, but we ask that anyone running a boat be either a SubCommittee member (get those dues in ) or a member of the Indy Admirals.

During the horror of the Nazi Holocaust, European Jewish families were torn apart. Childhood became a time of fear and a struggle for survival. After the war, a group of young Jewish orphans immigrated to Canada from the devastation of Europe as part of the War Orphans Project. Using their own words and artifacts, this virtual exhibit tells the story of the orphans' courage and resilience and of the tireless efforts of the people who helped them. It is as much a story about the present as it is about the past. It is a warning against human indifference and the inaction of the world. Over half of the world's more than 20 million refugees are children. |

Anatometal: Stainless Steel Seam Ring |
The simplest body jewelry ring with no beads to lose. Simply bend the ends apart as you would a key ring, insert into your piercing and bend the ends back. To maintain the shape of the ring, it's best to bend the ends side to side, so that the diameter of the ring remains the same, then bend them back together after insertion. Some larger gauge rings may be already opened for you, so you only have to bend them closed. This 316LVM ASTM F-138 stainless steel ring is annealed for ease of bending and highly polished.
We recommend taking this ring to your piercer for insertion, they can be a bit difficult to close perfectly, especially with small diameter rings.

Jason Leffler's fatal June 12 accident was the result of a mechanical failure, the New Jersey State Police said Friday.
An investigation into Leffler's crash at Bridgesport (N.J.) Speedway found the front suspension failed on Leffler's 410 sprint car during the fifth lap of a heat race while he was in second place.
Leffler's steering locked up and he lost control of the car, according to Lt. Stephen Jones. The car turned around and hit the outside concrete rail with the left side of his car, then flipped and slid until it came to a rest on its wheels.
The coroner ruled earlier Leffler was killed as a result of blunt force injury to the neck.
BLANEY: Believes part failure caused crash
According to his team, Leffler was wearing a Simpson Hybrid head and neck restraint system, which is one of six approved for use in NASCAR. A blunt force injury occurs when an object strikes the body with force causing compression of tissue. Head and neck restraints are designed to prevent injuries resulting from deceleration trauma when the body is moving and strikes another moving or stationary object, causing stretching or tearing of body tissue.
Jones said the front suspension failed due to a torsion bar sliding out of the car. When it did, the torsion arm became lodged between the right front wheel and the right front steering arm – which is what caused Leffler's steering to lock up.
Drivers averaged 135 mph during the event and reached speeds of about 150 mph on the straightaways, Jones said. It is not known how fast Leffler's car was going when the part failed.
Sprint Cup driver Dave Blaney witnessed the crash at the dirt track, where he was scheduled to race in two events later in a program that was canceled after Leffler's death.
"Talking with the guys in that race and the place on the racetrack where he wrecked, the odds are really good something broke on the race car and got him into the fence," Blaney said June 14 at Michigan International Speedway. "Even in those cars, you just don't see that kind of thing very often. You don't forget it's part of it, but anymore, it's rare. But it's still there."
Leffler's resilient personality and versatile grit made him popular and respected among peers while racing in all three of NASCAR's national series. He was remembered at his funeral Wednesday as a doting father and true racer.

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.
After the introduction of the entry-level 24Mpix D3200 early last year it seemed inevitable that the rest of the firm's APS-C (DX) range would be refreshed with the same sensor. While the gestation of the new 24Mpix D5200 has taken longer than most people could of reasonably predicted, the sensor is, in fact, a new design and the first from a different vendor for Nikon. We've recently put the new camera through our labs, read on to see how the new sensor performs. |
Committed to retaining its sales lead in numerous countries, Canon views its new EOS 650D as a strategically important product. What improvements can we see with respect to its sensor, which Canon claims is new? How does this latest camera in the EOS line compare with its predecessor, the EOS 600D, and with its rivals, the Nikon D3200 and the Sony SLT-A65? The answers lie in our sensor test results for the 650D. |
We are already acquainted with the D3200: apart from a few ergonomic details, it's the same camera as the compact and lightweight D3100 SLR, though missing the secondary display on its bridge for even greater compactness. The D3200 weighs only 454 grams (without battery or card). Unlike the D3100, the D3200's lens is off-center for better balance and the highly practical LiveView/video mode activation tab of the D3100 and the D5100 has disappeared in favor of a more ergonomically mundane video recording button. The D3200 comes with a second (dorsal) infrared sensor to complement its front sensor for more practical infrared remote control. The motor selection tab (single-frame, burst, timer, remote control) is gone as well, again replaced by a direct-access button. |
Today, Sony announced the SLT Alpha 57. This new model replaces the one and a half years old SLT A55 translucent mirror DSLR. comes with some interesting improvements in particular for its continuous shooting and auto focus. |
Ever since we tested the Sony SLT A77, we've been very curious to see how the soon-to-be released Sony NEX 7 would compare. And today we have the answer: as we expected, the absence of a mirror gives the NEX7 some advantages. Below is a detailed look. |
When the Sony A77 was announced a couple of weeks ago as a replacement for the Sony Alpha 700, Sony's semi-professional APS-C camera, we were all very impressed by its specifications. So we were really excited to see how it would perform in our tests. Here are our results. |

Why the high ISO advantage for a77 over a65?
I understand that, due to the lower/larger ISO range of the a77 that it would receive a higher overall sensor score than the a65 (greater dynamic range, color). But as they both use the same sensor, why does the a65 score around 700 in the high ISO test, while the a77 scores around 800?

Re: Why the high ISO advantage for a77 over a65?
I don't see an advantage. From among the A77, A65, and NEX-7, all of which use the same sensor, the A77 and A65 have almost identical scores for SNR 18% and Dynamic Range. You may also notice that the SLTs' scores are a little bit shy of the scores for the NEX-7, no doubt due to the light lost to the PDAF system via the "Translucent Mirror".

BAE's Jam Lab improves, perfects missile technology
On display inside of the locked facility on Canal Street is a myriad of missiles designed in different parts of the world. Inside of glass cases, the 45-year-old lab has on display Russian missile systems such as the SA-14 and SA-16, which were used during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.
BAE Systems is of the top three world's largest international defense companies, in close competition for the No. 1 spot with Lockheed and Boeing. It works closely with missiles and infrared guided air systems to develop countermeasure techniques.
The Jam Lab obtains about one new missile system every year or every few years, according to Squires, who acknowledges he would like to see more hardware enter the lab more frequently.
Squires compared the Russian missile systems with those made in the other countries.
"The Russians have thrown a lot of innovation into their processes," he said, adding some of their techniques have a certain "wow" factor. Others, he said, just make one wonder whether they are even feasible.
The Russian's SA-7 is the most widely proliferated missile in the world, according to Squires, who said it is still being manufactured and modified across the world despite its age.
The motto at BAE Systems — We Protect Those Who Protect Us — is posted frequently throughout the facilities, reminding employees about their critical duties. Defense technology designed at BAE Systems is currently used on platforms such as military vehicles, soldier equipment, missiles, commercial fixed wing aircraft, ships and more.

Lackey set to let pitching do talking vs. A-Rod, Yanks
Boston righty to be matched up against Kuroda in middle game of set
Whenever the Yankees and Red Sox square off, plenty of chatter surrounds the two clubs.
This time around, much of the conversation has been centered around Alex Rodriguez and John Lackey, Saturday's starter for the Red Sox.
Lackey had plenty to say to the Boston Globe on Thursday about Rodriguez being in the Yankees' lineup during the series. He isn't happy he has to face the third baseman in light of the slugger receiving a 211-game suspension for his role in the Biogenesis performance-enhancing drug investigation.
"I've got a problem with it. You bet I do," Lackey said. "How is he still playing? He obviously did something and he's playing. I'm not sure that's right. ... It's pretty evident he's been doing stuff for a lot of years I've been facing him."
While the right-hander has been quite vocal on the matter, Lackey still wants his pitching to do the talking on Saturday at Fenway Park. He hasn't been at his best as of late, but has still been able to go at least six innings in each of his last 11 starts.
Lackey (7-10, 3.32 ERA) took his second straight loss to the Royals on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits in seven innings of work. He's looking for his first win since July 12.
Lackey will be matched up opposite Yankees right-hander Hiroki Kuroda, who has been the team's most consistent starter this season.
In his last start against the Angels, Kuroda (11-7, 2.33 ERA) got the win, allowing three hits in eight scoreless innings for his ninth scoreless outing of the season. He hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start since June 30, a span of seven starts.
"His offspeed stuff is very difficult to pick up," Angels catcher Chris Iannetta said after the start. "The rotation on it, you couldn't really pick it up. You had to wait a long time, which made you late on the fastball. If you're trying to hit the fastball, you're ahead on the offspeed. He kept guys off-balance -- very deceptive, very good location."
Yankees: Strong first impression for Reynolds
Released by the Indians last week, veteran corner infielder Mark Reynolds was in New York's lineup as the first baseman for Friday's 10-3 win over the Red Sox, going 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs.
"We saw him play against us a lot last year," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He can really swing the bat, hit the ball out of the ballpark, and played an excellent first base, I thought, for Baltimore in the games that we saw him play there. He can change the game quickly."
Red Sox: Middlebrooks could move up in order
Boston third baseman Will Middlebrooks has been batting ninth in manager John Farrell's batting order since his return from Triple-A Pawtucket on Aug. 10. However, because of a lack of power from the right side, Middlebrooks could move up in the near future.
"That possibility certainly exists," Farrell said. "He's going to tell us when he's ready. As we've seen of late, the bottom half of the lineup has fluctuated a little bit, and we're trying to ride a little bit more of the hot hand at times and when the matchups might present themselves to be an advantage. That can happen in time."
Middlebrooks has hit the ball well since his return, going 8-for-20.
Worth noting
• The Red Sox have won five of their last seven home games and eight of 14 at Fenway since the All-Star break. They have also won 16 of their last 23, 20 of their last 28, and 26 of their last 37 games at Fenway.
• Ivan Nova will definitely pitch in one of the Yankees' games in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Girardi said on Friday. He has not decided where to slot Phil Hughes.

Scale Shipyard 1/48 USS Gato hull kit. I purchased this hull from Matt Thor in the late 80's & haven't found the time to put any real effort into it. Hull is still in basic form & only has minor work done to it.
Includes plan sheet (SS-222), Balao style conning tower, 2 deck guns & control surfaces. Hull is still in excellent shape.
Would seriously consider a trade for both Small World Models Revell Gato (2.5") & Type VII (2") WTC's or endcaps (single & dual servo forward, dual servo/twin shaft drive ends).
