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.
Sigma are well known for their accessibly priced models and at just under $1,100 the 150-500mm f5-6.3 APO seems like a promising alternative to the premium offerings from the camera makers. Although one of the older models in the firm's range now, does it still have what it needs to compete with more modern rivals? |
Following our recommendations for the flagship Sony SLT-A99, we've had the opportunity to assess the firm's semi-professional 24-Mpix DT (APS-C) format model - the SLT-A77 - with a sizeable collection of Sony and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these models perform best when paired with the camera. |
After evaluating the performance characteristics of lenses mounted on full-frame models such as Nikon D800 and D600, as well as the Canon EOS 5D Mk III, we've now had the opportunity to analyze a range of lenses on the Sony SLT-A99. In this concise report, we'll see how well the combination of Sony's high-end image sensor and the latest Alpha mount lenses perform. |
Announced only in February this year alongside the Sony made Zeiss branded 50mm f/1.4 ZA SSM, the 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II lens is an upgrade to the original silver finish model introduced in 2009. This new lens is said to boast up to 4x increase in AF operation and an improved optical performance (not to mention a new white exterior). Read on to see how well it performs in our labs. |
With the vagaries of photographing wildlife, the flexibility of a telephoto zoom would appear to be an attractive solution. However, image quality is often a compromise at the maximum aperture and longest focal length, typically the most crucial settings. We've pulled some lens data from our database and put together a round up of popular zoom lenses over the years (and made some comparisons with high performance primes). Read on to find out which models have the best image quality. |

Sadly true.
I've been waiting on this lens. I currently shot on the long end with a minolta 500 f8 reflex. It can be fantastic in broad daylight, but that's a crippling factor most of the time. I'm not surprised to hear about the optics being a mild improvement over the former. In fact, they've talked up the SSM motor upgrade more than anything. If it was a major leap in optical quality you'd be hearing about it from Sony. The biggest problem with the current 400mm is the weird Bokeh at 400mm and drop in sharpness. Here's the skinny:
No AF with a teleconverter- anyone looking to nail birds all day long with this will definitely be using a 1.4 along with the lens. Makes that SSM worthless at that point. 70-200 IMO is worthless on a lens at this price point. Your just not using that length all that often. I want this for ease of use. But, I think I'm still going to eye up a minolta 300 2.8. And thats the problem, I only care about the 300-400 range on this. It needs to be compared to the minolta 300 2.8 or the 200 2.8 which has already been proven to be sharper with a 1.4 tele than the 70-400 at 400mm. Reply |

Testing on outdated bodies
I can't believe you would test a brand new lens that has not even hit store shelves yet on old discontinued cameras! I've owned many of those camera models on my way up to my current A77 and there is no comparison in image quality. I can't imagine many people in the market for this lens would still be using it on any of these old cameras. The test results would not only be more accurate but I am sure the lens would have better results on the new cameras. I am going to check your Nikon 80-400mm lens tests and see if you tested it on old discontinued cameras too. In the interest of fair comparisons I hope you did.

Re: Testing on outdated bodies
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark. We published 700D, 100D and A99 lens recommendation last month, and other camera will follow. There is a lot of work behind it and there are also a lot of requests. The A77 is one of the highest priority for us but it should not be available before this fall.

Error in Sony 70-400mm results
There seems to be an error in the sharpness results for the Sony 70-400mm with the A580 body. It shows sharpness at only half of what the A380 body has, even though the A580 has more MP. Someone should look into these results.

Re: Error in Sony 70-400mm results
Thanks for your comment. Sony A580 results are surprising but we checked them on 3 different models, to be sure. We suspect a strong Anti Alias filter. Best regards, The DxOMark team Reply |

Is it updated optics?
I have not heard elsewhere that the optics were updated, I'm curious to know the source. If so, comparing to the silver edition is critical (and, as GeminiRx mentions, on an A77 and A99 would be appreciated.) I love my silver 70-400 so much, and have been mildly considering an upgrade. If the (already stellar) optics are improved, I'm sold!

Testing on a outdated body
It would be nice if the testing of A mount lenses could be done on the A99 instead of the A900. The A900 has been around since 2008.

Phoronix: They Say A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
...but what about two pictures?Yes, that is an early build of a future version of the Phoronix Test Suite running natively atop Microsoft Windows 7. Of course, the Phoronix Test Suite already runs atop OpenSolaris, *BSD, and Mac OS X too.How come? How will this benefit the Linux community? It will all be answered shortly, but for now you can chime in with your thoughts or ideas in the forums...
You really have to stop using that Win 7 skin on your linux destop Michael, it's just wrong.
Will it be faster on Windows ? lol
I hope not.
So when can we expect first Win7 vs Fedora (Ubuntu) vs Snow Leopard benchmarks?
Most importantly, we all want to see what are you hiding in that recycle bin
I think somoone donated a Windows 7 copy to michael... and I think I understood who :P

Very interested to see the results.
I regularly need to performance test Windows against Linux/UNIX for crypto speed and 3D rendering speeds for various clients. Access to PTS will make this a whole lot easier.
Reasons for this are obvious. It makes linux win :-). If windows is better on some benchmarks, developers will dig in and figure out why and improve linux. If linux wins, well, then people will use it :-).
Objective benchmarks that are meaningful will drive development. And Windows will have a harder time keeping up, maybe.
What this will do is create a fiercer competition between the OS's, and the end users will benefit.
What a shit KDE4 theme.
I'm somewhat interested to see how the Nvidia propietary drivers score on Win7 vs. Linux. The recent interview suggested that they share 90+% of their code between platforms, and I'd love to see how well that actually is working for Nvidia with respect to cross-platform performance (and if there's any inherent bottlenecks in X or Windows).
I've seen Wine benchmarks in the past that suggest that Wine+Linux can actually run windows applications faster than windows itself (I believe it was some of Anandtech's recent coverage, might've been TechReport). I could see using PTS to comparatively benchmark a few windows game demos against Wine+Demos in PTS (or full versions of the game if there's legal issues running benchmarks on demo versions of said games).

OH my Gosh! Let's see how win 7 will badly do on PTS against linux performance.

Men's Lacrosse Falls Flat in Third Quarter as #1 Limestone Takes 9-4 League Win
April 9, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Limestone College, ranked as the #1 team in the country, blanked Pfeiffer University in the first and third quarters en route to a 9-4 Conference Carolinas mens lacrosse victory on Saturday afternoon. The Saints remain perfect at 12-0 overall, 5-0 in league play while the Falcons fall to 9-4, 2-2.
The lone first quarter goal belonged to Limestones Desi Gonzalez. Gonzalez hit with 3:31 left in the period unassisted for a 1-0 Saints lead. In the second, the visitors would use a pair of Joshua Williams assists on Tyler Baker and Riley Loewen goals for a 3-0 lead with 7:54 left in the half.
Pfeiffer would get on the board with 3:25 to go before the break as Justin Rose would slam home an unassisted tally for a 3-1 game. Tom Buckley would quickly make it a 3-2 game 62 seconds later after an assist from Steven Tilmon. Limestone would take momentum into the break with a man-down goal by Shayne Jackson with 1:41 remaining in the second.
Saturdays third-quarter saw Limestone control it from start to finish as Thomas Langen hit just 64 seconds into the second half. More than 10 minutes later, Loewen and Jackson would each find the back of the net again for a 7-2 Saints lead through three.
In the final 15 minutes of action, Tilmon and Mike Triolo would try to spark a Pfeiffer comeback with a three-goal deficit as the clock showed 8:41 remaining. Limestone would finish off the Falcons with a Ken Kerr and Loewen goal with minutes left.
Pfeiffer led the Saints 33-30 with shots on the day and 40-35 on the groundballs. Limestone held the 19-15 advantage with shots on goal as netminder Steve Gartelman made 11 saves in the win.
Pfeiffer will close out the 2011 regular season on Tuesday hosting Lees-McRae at 4:00 p.m.

If thereŌĆÖs one thing that drives Mayor Skip Harvey nuts, itŌĆÖs inefficiency.
He says he doesnŌĆÖt allow it in his restaurant business (Base Camp Caf├®), which operates ŌĆō like most small businesses around here ŌĆō with a razor-thin margin.
But when he looks over the landscape of the way the Town of Mammoth Lakes goes about its business, he said he sees unproductive, time-wasting practices everywhere.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs part of being efficient, part of being a better town,ŌĆØ he said last week.
ŌĆ£You have to look at everything your town does in operations.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm a believer that a lot of teeny-weeny things add up to one big thing down the road.ŌĆØ
Harvey said he is on a collaborative offensive; certainly as a town council man and Mayor, he is no position to mandate to either public commissions or town staff.
Rather, his offensive has taken the form of visiting each commission as it meets, and asking the members ŌĆō begging is more like it ŌĆō to examine their practices.
For example, does the Mobility Commission really need to meet monthly, taking staff time along with it? Or could it be a quarterly affair?
(Coincidentally, mobility commis-sioner John Vereuck raised the very same question two months ago, but the discussion, such as it was, went nowhere. Meanwhile, Public Works Director Ray Jarvis was compelled to sit in, taking a two-hour chunk out of his day.)
In all, there are 47 commissions and/or committees currently in Mammoth, not counting sub-committees, special steady groups, etc.
They include such things as
ŌĆó The Local Agency Formation Commission
ŌĆó The State 203 Relinquishment Committee
ŌĆó USFS Wildlife Signage Committee
And so on.
And then there are the workshops, often held quarterly (or less) per commission, frequently before town council meetings.
ŌĆ£Maybe we could have a commission report once a month instead of workshops,ŌĆØ Harvey said.
ŌĆ£YouŌĆÖd have 10-15 minutes before council. If you donŌĆÖt have anything, you donŌĆÖt have to attend. We (the council) doesnŌĆÖt expect you to come and say that you have nothing to report.
ŌĆ£It could be the first meeting of each month. We can still do workshops for bigger items.
ŌĆ£But we can be more efficient with staff time and commissioners who volunteer their time to help us be a better town.ŌĆØ
He said the council itself should step in line, too, eliminating hour-long PowerPoint presentations when the slides themselves are contained in the councilŌĆÖs packets, for example.
Perhaps most of all is that planning commission and council agree on code modifications that are impregnable by those who are seeking variances ŌĆō a common time waster in the Town Offices and at planning commission meetings.
ŌĆ£After all our codes and we get everything in place,ŌĆØ Harvey said, ŌĆ£we should be at a point in the future that we respect our codes, we live by our codes and that we donŌĆÖt have to have long debates about someone who should be able to exceed them.
ŌĆ£We should be able to have people come to our planning staff and have the staff look at a plan and just simply say ŌĆśyouŌĆÖre to code, this will work.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
If the staff has a problem, they can say,
ŌĆ£By law, you can bring this before the commission or the town council, but theyŌĆÖre probably not going to approve it because they respect our codes. And we really donŌĆÖt recommend you spend your time this way.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Finally, Harvey said the town needs to understand that its staff just ainŌĆÖt what it used to be.
ŌĆ£The bottom line is that we have far less staff that we ever had before and we need to make good use of their time.ŌĆØ

Wade I am giving this a 5 star because it is exactly as described. I read the prior reviews and thought "how small could the chair possibly be?". Well, it's VERY small, so I give myself 2 stars for not heeding the warnings from other reviewers. An adult can sit comfortably on this chair but that is not the issue, it how the little chair looks so tiny against other furniture. It really throws your eye off kilter. PERFECT for a child's room.

Be sure what you really need The chair was easy to put together; however, the bottom cover opened to get the legs on, and sealed with velcro. Unfortunately, it was impossible to completely fasten the velcro because it didn't quite fit around the front legs and couldn't be put under them to keep it nice and neat. The fabric around the back legs didn't fit either and is wrinkled because the velcro opening isn't long enough.. It's not a quality that I would recommend for a formal living room or dining room, but it works for my grandson to use in the den to play video games. The color isn't what is pictured, but again, it will work for a game chair.

Good Buy for the Money! This is a good little accent chair. I ordered one to see if this type of chair would be good for my group therapy room at my office. I decided it might not be sturdy enough for that kind of wear and tear, but it is an excellent accent chair in my waiting room. Assembly was more difficult than I expected, 60 minutes+. I had to call to get a leg delivered as one was bowed. The fabric tends to collect anything floating, so I would not recommend it if you have pets that shed.

Good buy This is a pretty nice chair and was easy to assemble. I notice that alot of people were saying that it was a "childs chair"; however, I would have to disagree with those comments. The chair is a little on the small side in regard to the design, when you sit on it though it does sit up high and it does not sink in. I bought the green one, this color matches as I though it would. Being a guy whe dont often buy things of this nature, but when you want to impress others we have to step it up.

Chair flawed; customer service fantastic! Chair arrived quickly; very easy to put together in 10 minutes and it was as described. Very comfortable. The color, however, was off. The seat material was almost two-tone; clearly a flaw in the fabric. I called support immediately and was given superb service. The representatives were sweet and helpful. I was issued a return number for a UPS pickup, I dismantled the chair, repacked it and it was picked up. The whole transaction took less that 24 hours. Amazing! When I originally ordered the chair, the blue was sold out. Customer support told me she would contact the warehouse and see if one was available. She called me much later in the day to say that there was one in blue, and I ordered it. Pretty good follow-through, no? I have nothing but praise for O's customer support. There were no drawbacks in this whole matter except for the fabric flaw. By the way, I was expecting a huge box, but it was packed in such a way that I, age 71, could easily manage.

Fact Sheet on Rocking Chairs
Few furniture items are as rambunctious and yet comforting as rocking chairs. Whether related to folks rocking on their porches on outdoor rocking chairs with a cup of coffee or youngsters rocking back and forth for the thrill, rocking chairs are enjoyable for people of every age. In the grand scheme of things, rocking chairs are a fairly modern invention. In a short period of time, rocking chairs have become a fixture in living rooms, lounges, patios and more. Still, here are a few things you might not know about rocking chairs.
5 Uses for Stacking Chairs
When you want seating that's both compact and functional, stacking chairs are a good solution. Stackable chairs don't have moving joints, making them extra sturdy. You can unstack them quickly for an outdoor party or for entertaining guests and then stack them up and tuck them away in a garage or corner of the home just as quickly. Whether you're looking for a set of durable patio chairs for the summer or comely chairs to use in the living room year-round, stackable chairs may be what you're looking for. Keep reading to find out about five different uses for stacking chairs that you could implement around your home.
Easy Chairs Fact Sheet
Any overstuffed recliner or comfortable padded chair may be referred to as an easy chair. These cozy chairs, usually laden with features, are designed for relaxation. Often used in living rooms, dens or recreation rooms, easy chairs and recliners are the perfect spot to unwind with a good book or watch a movie. Take a look at the easy chairs fact sheet below to learn more about these cozy pieces of furniture.
Chair Covers Quick Guide
Are your chairs looking dingy or worn? Wear and tear from years of use or from pets can make the fabric on the outside look old before the inside is worn out. If your chairs are still sturdy, don't replace them yet. Instead, use chair slipcovers to give them a fresh, new look. It's an easy, affordable way to update living room chairs and dining room chairs alike.
How to Decorate with a Blue Sofa
We all have that one piece of furniture we love. Whether it's a blue sofa or loveseat, a red leather chair or a knotty pine wood bookcase that has seen better days, it will forever be a part of your home. If you have one special piece of furniture that you must coordinate into the rest of your decor, do it with style by coordinating colors. Blending a blue sofa into an existing living room, den or recreation area is simple. By adding colorful accents such as pillows, rugs and window treatments, you can easily integrate your favorite blue sofa into your design scheme. Look below to learn how to decorate with a blue sofa.
Leather Chair Care
It's no surprise that leather chairs reside at the center of home style and fashion. These beautiful chairs are comfortable and look fabulous in any home. You usually see a leather chair sitting in a living room or library, and -- just like any other piece of furniture -- they need regular maintenance. Performing necessary leather chair care should be done on a regular basis. If you care for your leather furniture, it will reward you with many years of quality service.
FAQs about Recliners
Add a comfortable recliner to your living room, and you'll always have the perfect place to relax. If you aren't sure if a recliner chair is right for your home, or if you aren't sure which one to choose, let the answers to these frequently asked questions about recliners help guide you.
FAQs about Chaise Furniture
When you're ready to give your living room an update, look to fresh furniture as a place to start. Living room furniture comes in many styles, and one at the front of the trends is chaise furniture. The best known of the chaise family, chaise lounges, is available in every color and fabric imaginable, so you can find the perfect chair for your home decor.
FAQs about Buying a Leather Armchair
Anytime you buy furniture online, you may have questions, and this is especially true for living room furniture. After all, your living room is used by everyone from your children to your guests, so it has to do a lot. A leather armchair is a popular choice for seating in a living room because it is at once beautiful as well as durable.

How to Choose a Hammock Chair
It's easy to enjoy your backyard in a relaxing hammock chair, also known as a hanging chair. Just like traditional hammocks and swings, a hammock chair cradles and hugs the body when you sit in it. Compared to a hammock, however, a hammock chair requires far less space and, therefore, fits in a larger number of places. They're especially nice to have on front porches or in backyards with lots of trees. These hanging chairs are also comfortable alternatives to solid chairs and can be hung in most of the places that solid chairs are placed. Choosing a hammock chair is pretty straightforward, but it is important to keep a few details in mind so you can choose the perfect hammock chair for your space and style.
How to Choose a Chaise Lounge
When you're ready to relax in your own living room, it's time to consider a chaise lounge. A chaise lounge is a long chair designed to support your head and legs while you recline. A traditional lounge chair has either a low back that runs the length of the chair or no back at all. Looking almost like a modified sofa, a chaise lounge is best used for a single, reclining person, but it can accommodate several people sitting upright. How do you choose the chaise lounge that's right for you? Read on to find out.

Daily OCD 11/16/12 | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under William S Burroughs, Raymond Macherot, Peanuts, Noah Van Sciver, Mickey Mouse, Malcolm McNeill, Love and Rockets, Joe Sacco, Jaime Hernandez, Flannery OConnor, Drew Friedman, Disney, Daily OCD, Chris Wright, Carl Barks, Alexander Theroux | 16 Nov 2012 8:05 PM |
The first bit of frost of Online Commentaries & Diversions:
• Review (video): Last Gasp's John Longhi reviews The Lost Art of Ah Pook by Malcom McNeill, a story originally created with William Burroughs. Longhi says, "I can see why Burroughs wanted to work with McNeill because he's one of the few guys who could capture the crazy wacked out details of his story writing. . . [It contains] all the wonderful social discord that made his writing fantastic."
• Review: Blacklung by Chris Wright gets high marks on Paste Magazine. Sean Edgar says, "Blacklung is a weird, compelling creation, telling a harrowing story of redemption and savagery through art that could initially pass as adorable before you get to the tongue necklaces. Highly recommended for those with strong stomachs."
• Review: School Library Journal announces their BEST BOOKS OF 2012 and in the graphics novels section, Noah Van Sciver's The Hypo is listed. "Van Sciver makes Lincoln real by picturing one of the hardest times in his younger life. . . Dickens-style squalor and melodrama plus Austen-style romance, all done in gritty cross-hatching."
• Plug: The NY Times listed Flannery O'Connor: The Cartoons at the top of the Best Bathroom Reads of 2012. Dwight Garner believes "the prints collected here are droll and strange." Two of our favorite words to describe Fantagraphics-style creators such as Flannery O'Connor.
• Plug: Ken Plume mentions some of our books on his 2012 shopping guide: "Alongside the Peanuts collection, [Walt Disney's Donald Duck: A Christmas for Shacktown and Mickey Mouse Vol. 4 "House of the Seven Haunts"] reinforce the assessment that no one is doing archival comic collections as well as Fantagraphics."
• Plug: Drew Friedman is Boing-Boing-ed thanks to his amazing drawings, this time of John Severin from MAD/EC/Cracked comics.
• Plug: Black and White adores Raymond Macherot's Gil Jordan, Private Detective: Murder By High Tide and Sibyl-Anne Vs. Ratticus . Miguel saw the English and French versions, "And I fell in love. . . [Macherot's] worlds are (usually) full of deceptively cute anthropomorphic animals, and in his best work, under that kids-friendly surface of pretty little animals there is real threat."
• Review: Roughly translated from Ediciones La Cupula, Jaime Hernandez's God and Science: Return of the Ti-Girls is reviewed. "The excitement that overwhelms us after reading each of the installments of the saga of [Ti-Girls] is directly proportional to its artistic excellence, his talent as a storyteller and human greatness that lives in his cartoons."
• Review: Lanacion reviews the writings and works of Alexander Theroux (Laura Warholic, Estonia and The Strange Case of Edward Gorey) and translated, barely, Matias Serra Bradford states, "If left as an untreated rarity, Alexander Theroux seems mysterious to the fantastic and impossible point of determining the trajectory of a particle and its position."
• Review: The Snipe News looks at Joe Sacco's Journalism collection. "the decade's worth of stories. . . are most notable not from any kind of torn-from-the-headlines sensationalism but for the empathy the author brings to his subjects. . . . Sacco has a feel for displaced persons in general."

Fairway, which quickly became a popular shopping destination and an anchor in the struggling community of Red Hook, was closed following severe flooding during Hurricane Sandy on October 29, 2012. Like the rest of Red Hook, Fairway has struggled to quickly re-open in a neighborhood that lost dozens of businesses during the storm. The re-opening, which included a ceremony and ribbon cutting featuring Miss America and Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is being viewed as Red Hooks official comeback since the storm.

I'd like to get information about bicycling the entire length of the OC&E Woods Line State Trail. I'd like to hear from someone who has actually done it. I'm interested in the best type of bicycle to use, is an off-road touring bike OK (Salsa Fargo, for instance), recommended tire size, water availability (streams, creeks, etc.), location of the trailhead in the Sycan Marsh, and so on. I haven't been able to get much information from people who have cycled on the trail. Thanks.
I have not been on the OC&E Woods Line State Trail, but I found some people who have. Most helpful was Zach Gilmour at Hutch's Bicycles in Klamath Falls (541-850-2453). He has ridden most of the trail and here is what he says: Best type of bicycle to use: "It's soft gravel for nearly all of it (the last seven or eight miles of it closest to Klamath Falls are paved).

Quelle suprise...Diane Keaton...c'est impossible!
What have they/she done? I agree about the eyeliner...here's the proof...in living colour.
I would be amused and delighted to be wearing that Chopard frog prince bearing gifts...and the bags well, one or two would be nice. You have the most tempting delights.
I do curl my lashes...will stop the lower lining of the eyes...no worries though as my image is not front and center for all to see!
Happy Friday! - May 21, 2010 at 3:54 PM

Diane Keaton vs The Air Brusher.
Brusher wins.
I adore linen. It's my wardrobe for summer. With fat bangle braclets and my hair up.
And why,oh why, do I love everything Ralph Lauren makes?
Wonderful post, per usual!! - May 21, 2010 at 4:55 PM
- Shelley said...
I worry about Tish and Cherie sometimes...is someone getting a split personality?
Keaton is obviously airbrushed. I think she should sue. Actually, I think we should all boycott magazines for perpetuating this idiotic idea that women don't actually age. I always had the idea that the French were above that sort of nonsense. Am I wrong? - May 21, 2010 at 5:26 PM
- Deja Pseu said...
Whew, Cherie has spoken. Now my day can begin.
I'm with Cherie on the curled lashes. I only began doing this a few years ago and amazed at the difference it makes. With regard to the eyeliner, Cherie's trick of thickening the line outward applies to the upper lash line only, is that correct?
That Chopard frog is très mignon if something that's probably worth more than my house could be described as mignon. - May 21, 2010 at 5:37 PM

Cherie could be my best friend.

What an awful thing to do to Diane Keaton. PhotoShop is not anyone's friend when it's used in so obvious a manner.
Love the white linen pantsuit. - May 21, 2010 at 6:44 PM
- Jeanne-Aelia Desparmet-Hart said...
I adore the frog! it might get caught in all sorts of sweaters and scarves but it's so much fun. I wear a ton of white or beige or light blue linen in the summer. Hard to keep neat looking though. Great post as usual.
- May 21, 2010 at 6:51 PM
Cherie and Tish, do I need to come in there and break the two of you up?! Behave!
That Chopard ring is so funny.
I saw that Diane Keaton ad myself a few days ago and wondered who she was. I don't know whether it's Photoshopping gone mad or plastic surgery gone made -- but it is scary.

Cherie does not advise lining the lower eye, however, women who wear smoky kohl-lined eyes (lined upper and lower, nearly circluar eye-lining look so alluring to me. Perhaps Cherie likes BCBG but not the Juliette Greco effect?
No La please. Just Duchesse. - May 21, 2010 at 10:10 PM
- Debra said...
I'm a huge Diane Keaton fan and I had no idea! Hmmmm~ kind of makes you wonderful what is real with the great fashion magazines! I like the liner tip and this is a good reminder to curl...it's right in my bag and days go by that I don't curl!!!!
- May 21, 2010 at 10:24 PM
- Duchesse said...
Just wanted to say (again) that Diane Keaton is 64. That should provide some insight into the techniques and interventions used to produce this photo. I have seen her at the Toronto Film Festival and she looks nothing like this. A good jawline but lots of fine wrinkles.

Liked the linen, hated the bags (those in YKW's Out & About were so perfect), and Diane Keaton -- what a hoot and what a waste! Someone suggested above she should sue, yes, yes, yes!
Thank you Cherie, another amusing and informative post. Bon weekend,

Blow your eyelash curler with your hairdryer for about 5 seconds to warm it and it works even better. No more than that though or it will be too hot to use.

Sunblock, sunblock, sunblock on yes, the hands. And the forearms. The face and neck, of course. There is no such thing as a base tan. There is only damaging your skin and creating wrinkles.

Another wonderful post. I always think I should put spf on my hands but then again I wash them so many times throughout the day that I feel I just wash it right off! I must be vigilant though as the hands are so telling of age... Hope you're well! xo

In this lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 3-12, students use BrainPOP resources (along with print, web, and/or community resources) to explore one area of health, fitness, or nutrition. Students will learn about the contributing factors in the obesity epidemic and identify how lifestyle choices can contribute to or prevent weight and health problems. Students will then create a public service announcement (PSA) to teach others about the importance of making good choices and staying healthy.
Students will:
- Discuss and explore the dietary and behavioral factors that contribute to obesity.
- Select and research the dangers of one contributing factor to obesity (or one lifestyle choice and its relationship to obesity) using print, web, and/or community resources.
- Create a public service announcement (PSA) to teach others about the importance of avoiding a habit that contributes to obesity and suggest ways to make better choices.
- Computer and projector or IWB to watch BrainPOP as a class
- Chart paper or board to record ideas
- Class set of the quiz printout
obesity; diabetes; hypertension; cardiovascular disease; sedentary; body mass index; BMI; calories; processed foods
Preview the movie and read through the Obesity FYI page to familiarize yourself with the scope of the movie and further your understanding of the topic. You may also wish to compile web and community resources for students to use when researching for their presentations.Lesson Procedure:
- On the FYI page, click on the Graphs, Stats, and Numbers icon (above the words 'Did You Know?'). Use these facts to get students thinking about the seriousness of the obesity epidemic in the United States.
- Assess prior knowledge and build background information through a whole-class discussion. Ask students what factors they think contribute to the obesity problem in our country. Have a student volunteer record ideas on the board.
- Read and discuss the Real Life and Did You Know features (also on the FYI page), which explain the problems with portion size and sugary drinks. If students have not already suggested these factors, add them to the list.
- Show the Obesity movie. Pause as needed throughout the movie to respond to questions and develop understanding.
- Revisit the discussion about obesity's contributing factors, adding to or revising students' prior suggestions that are on the board.
- Divide students into heterogeneous small groups or pairs. Ask each group to select one unhealthy lifestyle or diet factor from the list on the board and create a public service announcement (PSA) for the rest of the class and/or other classes in the school. PSA's are typically 30 seconds; however, you may create a longer format for your students.
- Each group should write a script to be performed live as a skit or recorded as a video clip or movie. Alternatively, students might create a PSA print advertisement or multi-media presentation.
- Provide the groups with time to research their topics and create their presentations. Remind students that their focus should be on educating their peers about the dangers of one unhealthy habit and suggesting better alternatives.
- Allow each group to present or perform for their peers.
- As an assessment, have students take the Obesity quiz. On the back or on a separate sheet of paper, ask students to write a journal entry reflecting on their eating and exercise habits. Do they have any habits that are known to contribute to obesity? After this unit of study, what good habits do they plan to begin as a replacement for the unhealthy behaviors? Encourage every student to select at least one attainable goal.

Orioles look to distance themselves from Yanks
Baltimore's Norris faces Capuano as New York tries to gain in AL East
As they continue to win series, the American League East-leading Orioles haven't been paying much attention to the rearview mirror.
"Regardless of what the other teams do, you control something today in your game," manager Buck Showalter said. "If you start thinking how Toronto, Boston, New York and Tampa does every day, with 40-something games left -- you can't live in that world. And our guys don't. They don't scoreboard-watch, they scoreboard-glance. We've got to assume the other teams are going to win every game they play."
Baltimore will be paying attention to the Yankees on Monday, though, when they come to town for a three-game set at Camden Yards.
New York is in the middle of the pack in the AL East and in the hunt for a playoff spot, so manager Joe Girardi knows the upcoming series will be big for his club, which is 3-6 against the Orioles this season and 1-2 in Baltimore.
"They're important games because we're chasing them, and they have a lead in our division, and that's where we want to be -- on top of the division," Girardi said. "We have 10 more games with them, but the important thing is that we continue to take series. You need to do that if you want to play in October."
They didn't do that in their latest series, though, dropping two of three games to the Indians. The Orioles, meanwhile, did win their series against the Cardinals.
In Monday's series opener, Baltimore right-hander Bud Norris will take the mound against Yankees southpaw Chris Capuano.
Norris (9-7, 3.68 ERA) is coming off a win over the Blue Jays in his last outing, in which he went 5 1/3 innings and allowed two runs. He beat the Yankees in his only start against them this year on June 21, when he gave up one run over five innings of work.
In Capuano's last start, he took a no-decision against the Tigers but offered up his best performance in pinstripes, outdueling Justin Verlander for 6 2/3 innings. He allowed just one unearned run on five hits and a walk while striking out eight.
Capuano hasn't made a start against Baltimore this season, but pitched against them a few times in relief, allowing two runs in 3 2/3 total innings.
Yankees: Teixeira returns to lineup batting cleanup
Actions speak louder than words, and after a healthy round of normal batting practice, Mark Teixeira indicated to Girardi that his left pinky was well enough to play in Sunday's series finale with the Indians. Teixeira went 1-for-4 with a strikeout.
Girardi had penciled his slugger to hit fourth in the lineup but wanted to see how Teixeira reacted after batting practice. The switch-hitter took strokes from both sides of the plate, appearing to grip the bat tightly and even launched a few balls over the wall.
Teixeira sustained a laceration to his left pinky in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over the Tigers, requiring three stitches. He had swung at 50 percent as the cut healed but appeared to take full hacks before Sunday's game with his pinky wrapped with a bandage.
Orioles: Hardy late scratch Sunday with sprained left thumb
The Orioles announced that shortstop J.J. Hardy was scratched from Sunday's starting lineup with a sprained left thumb shortly before they took the field for the finale against the Cardinals.
Hardy, who entered the day batting .283 with six homers and 40 RBIs, was on the field for pregame batting practice and was initially listed as batting sixth. He was replaced by Ryan Flaherty.
It's unknown how Hardy sustained the injury and the severity of the sprain, but any significant time missed for the Gold Glover would be a major blow to the Orioles.
Worth noting
• By winning their series against St. Louis this weekend, the Orioles clinched their first season-series victory over the Cards. The clubs met two other times -- Baltimore lost two of three games in St. Louis in 2003 and was swept at home in 2011.
• Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda has two Minor League rehab starts under his belt and has indicated he would be ready to return to the Yankees' rotation as early as their upcoming series in Baltimore. Girardi had no updates on his status just yet.

re: Clemson added a tombstone to their "Death Valley"... Posted by ClemsonFan on 1/28 at 2:44 pm to KennesawTiger I think LSU coaches saw on film how vulnerable we were to passing attacks. However, it seemed pretty boneheaded from my vantage point for y'all to stick with it when it was clearly not working. Your QB had no time, and when he did, he was off-target. I do think we played the run pretty tough considering the running game we were up against, save for the two big busts which unfortunately led to TDs. At the very least, running the ball might have stopped us from holding the ball for nearly 40 minutes or whatever that number was. This post was edited on 1/28 at 2:45 pm Reply Back to Top |

Posted by ClemsonFan on 1/28 at 2:58 pm to ClemsonFan Can't help but laugh at the idea that tombstones are too expensive, like major college football programs are too poor to spend money on some gimmicky decorations... Both Clemson and LSU (I assume) have spent millions on indoor practice facilities that are probably used for official practices a handful of times per year, and y'all think a tombstone is too expensive?This post was edited on 1/28 at 2:59 pm Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Vlad The Inhaler on 1/28 at 3:07 pm to ClemsonFan If we (LSU) don't like having our school's name on a tombstone on Clemson's campus, don't lose the game. I mean, what's to make fun of, they're not Ole Miss with a fake championship. They won the game, to the victors go the spoils. Hopefully Miles has a picture in the weight room, although I don't know how much more offseason motivation could have been possible after 1/9. It's pretty simple. We're a top tier program, quit belittling them and take the loss like a man. They won on that night, we didn't. Hopefully we can get another shot in the near future.

Posted by OzChuffnugg on 1/28 at 4:15 pm to ClemsonFan quote: It is a lot easier to run 100+ plays on offense then defend against 100+ plays. I am not saying LSU did not try. I am saying Clemson was way more pumped and invested a lot more into that game then LSU. If you read my previous posts I also said it was a big win and Clemson should be proud. If you watched the other SEC v. whoever bowl games the SEC looked flat and played without care while the other teams were treating it like a championship game. UGA v.Nebraska, Miss. St v. NW, USCe v. Michigan, and Florida v. Louisville all come to mind. Fact of the matter is whether you want to admit it or not the SEC is NC or bust and when other conferences play the SEC they treat it as a championship game!!! Which was the case with your wannabe real Tigers! Reply Back to Top |

Posted by ClemsonFan on 1/28 at 4:31 pm to OzChuffnugg quote: You misunderstood. I meant opposing defenses did not hit the floor like LSU's, despite the fact that we ran 100+ plays on them. What that indicates to me is that LSU was pushing it more than those teams because it was a big matchup. I think the whole "looking flat" thing is a lame excuse. The truth is that teams "look flat" almost every time they lose. (Note - I said "almost.") I did not watch any of the games you mentioned other than ours and some of the Sugar Bowl, so I cannot comment on them, but I can say that LSU most definitely did not "look flat" in the Peach Bowl this year. Their players flew around the field, laid the wood, talked trash, got in fights, and ran themselves until they were literally too exhausted to play any more. LSU expects to play for the national championship every year, I get that. But I absolutely do not think they weren't trying in the Peach Bowl. I think that's a lame excuse. I also don't think LSU's expectations are the same as the rest of the SEC's. LSU, Alabama, and Florida may feel that way, but none of the others do, nor can they. Reply Back to Top |

Silent Killing | |||

As the name suggests, this technique is simply a very quiet method of killing an opponent, usually from behind with a blade. Additionally, because the user moves silently, the attack cannot be anticipated and defended against. The user will often slit their opponent's throat, preventing any cry that might give them away. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are shown to be masters of this technique, and were even good enough to track and kill opponents through sound alone.[1][2] Some shinobi also opt to use a cover such as mist or even frost to rob their opponents of their field of vision and then attack them.
Trivia Edit
- Although the name of this technique is written in kanji (無音殺人術), it's pronounced in English ("silent killing" (サイレント キリング)). The Japanese pronunciation of the kanji would be Muon Satsujin Jutsu, which would literally translate to "soundless murder technique".
- According to Kakashi, this technique allows the user to kill their opponent so quickly, that they die before realising it.[3]
- Silent Killing may have been inspired by various Chinese and Japanese books released during the centuries detailing ways on how to stealthy, and silently kill another person using various weapons and by targeting vital organs in the body.

Posted by Ryne Sandberg on 1/6 at 12:34 pm to Ryne Sandberg Major League Soccer has 12 of 19 clubs represented among the players called into Carson. The Houston Dynamo (Will Bruin, Brad Davis and Tally Hall), San Jose Earthquakes (Steven Beitashour, Justin Morrow and Chris Wondolowski), and Sporting Kansas City (Matt Besler, Benny Feilhaber and Graham Zusi) lead the way with three representatives each. Brad Evans, Eddie Johnson and Jeff Parke played together in Seattle in 2012, before Parke was traded to Philadelphia in the offseason. Seattle Sounders forward Eddie Johnson leads the roster in both caps and international goals. The veteran has scored 14 goals in his 44 appearances for the MNT. Johnson scored a pair of goals and earned Budweiser Man of the Match honors in leading the U.S. to a 2-1 win against Antigua & Barbuda on Oct. 12, 2012, in the Semifinal Round of World Cup qualifying. San Jose forward Chris Wondolowski tied Roy Lassiter's MLS single-season goals record in 2012 with 27 total. Wondolowski collected both the MLS Golden Boot and MVP award and was named MLS Player of the Month four times. Three players were MLS Best XI selections in 2012. Wondolowski received the honor for the third time in his career, while Sporting Kansas City teammates Matt Besler and Graham Zusi received the honor for the first time. Zusi used the January camp last year to catapult into a regular role with the Men's National Team, scoring the game-winner in the 1-0 win on Jan. 25, 2012, in Panama. He went on to appear in six games, including three in World Cup qualifying. Will Bruin scored a career-high 12 goals in the MLS regular season in 2012 and has four goals in six postseason games. Houston reached the MLS Cup final for the second consecutive season. In his most recent appearance with the Men's National Team, Mix Diskerud notched his first career international goal when he scored in second-half stoppage time to help the U.S to a 2-2 draw against ninth-ranked Russia on Nov. 14, 2012. Joshua Gatt collected his first cap and his first start that day. Omar Gonzalez scored a goal and earned MLS Cup MVP honors when the LA Galaxy won its second-consecutive league championship in a 3-1 win against Houston on Dec. 1, 2012. A total of eight players are looking to get their first cap with the senior team: Steven Beitashour, Tony Beltran, Matt Besler, Will Bruin, Tally Hall, Connor Lade, Alfredo Morales and Justin Morrow. Additionally, eight players on the roster are age 23 and under. Juan Agudelo, the first Development Academy alum to play for the senior team, is the youngest at 20 years old. Goalkeeper Bill Hamid recorded a shutout and a win in his first career start with the U.S. Men in the 1-0 victory against Venezuela on Jan. 21, 2012, in Phoenix. Sean Johnson earned a share of the spoils in the 1-0 win against Panama four days later, splitting time with Nick Rimando. This post was edited on 1/6 at 12:35 pm Reply Back to Top |
