Great studies!! Some things i picked up while reading Andrew loomis Creative illustrations: Shadow makes the form and color appears most vibrant near the areas of light. When as in shadow - color loses its brilliancy. Also Pure blacks seldom appear in nature. Hope you get something out of those brief annotations, But really great Studies, Keep it up

wow! amazing stuff!!!
your still lifes are so cool! Keep pushing those portraits, you're definately getting there! For example, your first and last portraits in the last post have some minor glitches I can't even pinpoint, but your Sargent in #287 and the little girl in #289 are astonishing!!! You definately have it down, it's just a matter of consistency.

life studies are rock solid, nothing much to crit there
For portraits, sometimes they seem a little bit off (at least for me). Maybe try to get the measurements right in the sketch before detailing too much. But can be just me, haven't drawn some asian people in a long time.
What I really like about the portraits is the color palette. Great mood in every one of them.
Keep it up!

Search Health Information
Children have many problems with their ears, nose, and throat. In fact, 75 percent of children will experience an ear infection by age three. Often, these problems can be cared for by your child's physician.
Depending on your child's situation, your child's physician may refer him or her to an otolaryngologist for specialty care. Otolaryngology is the medical specialty that focuses on disorders of the ear, nose, and throat. They are also known as ENT physicians.
ENT physicians may help treat your child with certain problems such as ear infections, hearing loss, breathing problems, or sinus problems. ENT physicians may also be involved if your child needs ear tubes or tonsil surgery.

Serena Release Control
Automate Your Release Process for Speed and Control
Increase Responsiveness to the Business
Business depends heavily on IT capabilities to support its success. New applications and services are essential to driving competitive advantage, increasing market share and improving customer satisfaction. Most IT organizations today are concerned with the complexities of release management, which threatens to impede growth and responsiveness to the needs of the business. But, existing IT groups can rise to the challenge, developing more relevant applications with greater complexity and reliability while bringing them online faster than ever before, provided they have excellent release management processes and the right tools.
See Serena Release Control Explained in 2 Minutes
Accelerate Application Delivery
A formal, automated release management process helps organizations maximize the value of their existing IT staff. Release management is an application lifecycle management process that guides IT efforts from code development through testing and into production, helping to focus resources on timely delivery of crucial new business functionality. Well-designed and comprehensive release management enables organizations to:
- Respond and deliver to business demands by deploying releases into production faster with existing or fewer resources.
- Improve release quality, increase the number of successful deployments and reduce downtime, whether planned or unplanned
- Improve visibility and insight into project timelines and progress, which prevents surprises and keeps all stakeholders on the same page
- Simplify audits and compliance by enforcing consistency and traceability of changes
Learn more about the value of Serena Release Control.
Comprehensive Solution for Application Release Management
Whether you are deploying a new application or delivering a single patch, Serena Release Control is a comprehensive solution that allows you to manage the application release management lifecycle from development through deployment into your production environment.
Release management teams require formal processes for planning and tracking progress, greater visibility into their processes and a way to enforce release policies. Only with these tools can the team meet the expectations of the business, ensure the quality of released applications and protect the integrity of mission-critical production systems.
In contrast to most vendors who promote a complete rip-and-replace solution for release management, Serena takes a consultative approach. Serena evaluates your current release management process, advises you on additional best practices that fit your organization's needs, and recommends tools that can help you apply your existing and new processes more consistently. Serena's goal is to help you make the most of the people, processes, and technologies that you already have so that your business can turn IT into a competitive advantage and win in the marketplace.

OXFORD, Ohio - The battle went back-and-forth, but the Miami University volleyball team came away with a thrilling, 3-2 (25-23, 24-26, 18-25, 27-25, 15-11) victory over Ball State on Saturday. It was the third straight win for the RedHawks, who improve to 8-15 overall and 3-7 in the Mid-American Conference. The Cardinals fall to 11-12 overall and 4-6 in the MAC.
Three players powered the Miami offensive attack with double-digit kills. Meg Riley led the way with 20, while redshirt freshmen Sarah Chaney and Jenny Ingle contributed 14 and 11 respectively.
Kills from Christina Menche and Chaney, along with a service ace from Lisa Treadway helped lead the 'Hawks to a 6-3 advantage to begin set one. Two kills from Ingle along with one from Riley would help them eventually push it to six at 16-10. Ball State responded with an 8-1 run that would put it in front, 18-17. Trailing 19-21, a kill from Madison Hardy, a service ace by Madison Dodd and a kill from Treadway off of Amy Kendall's assist would put the RedHawks back in front, 22-21, and force a Cardinal timeout. Leading 23-22, Ingle gave Miami set point when she tooled the Ball State blocker for a kill. The Cardinals scored the next point, but Riley responded with a strong kill to give the Red and White a 25-23 win.
Tied at seven in set two, a service ace from Dodd would spark an 11-6 run that put Miami up, 18-13. Despite two more kills from Riley, Ball State would answer with an 8-2 run that put it in front, 21-20. After trading service errors, Chaney would put down a kill off of Riley's assist, the Cardinals would make an attack error and Menche would record a solo block to give the RedHawks set point at 24-22. The win was not to be for Miami, as Ball State would respond with four straight points to steal a 26-24 victory and even the match at one set apiece.
Tied at nine in set three, Ball State would go on a 9-3 run that gave it control at 18-12. A kill from Riley and a block by Annie Reiswig and Menche would cut the deficit to four, but the Cardinals answered with a 5-1 run that made the score 23-15. Menche and Chaney would record kills, while Ingle would get a solo block, but the RedHawks were unable to complete a comeback as they fell, 18-25.
Ingle had two kills to help Miami take a 7-5 lead early in set four. Ball State would eventually tie the score at 10 before another Ingle kill put the Red and White back in front. The Cardinals responded with a 9-5 run that put them up 19-16 as they seemed poised to put the match away. However Miami did not give up as a kill from Dodd, a block by Ingle and Dodd and a service ace from Kendall would tie the score at 19 and force Ball State to take timeout. The break did not seem to help as Riley followed with two straight kills to make it 21-19 in favor of the RedHawks. The Cardinals scored the next three to retake the advantage. The teams traded sideouts until it was tied at 23. Riley would put down a kill to give Miami set point, but Ball State fought it off. The Cardinals would then record a kill to create match point, but another kill from Riley would tie the score at 25. Riley followed with a service ace, and Ball State would make an attack error to give Miami a well-earned, 27-25, win.
Kills from Riley and Treadway, followed by a block from Riley and Ingle would put the RedHawks up, 3-0, in the fifth and deciding set. Ball State would quickly tie the score at three before a kill from Riley and a block by Treadway and Menche made it 5-3, Miami. A 5-1 run by the Cardinals put them up, 8-6. A kill from Chaney would get the Red and White's offense moving again as they took the next six points in a row to take a 12-8 lead and control of the set. After trading sideouts it was 13-10, Miami. Chaney would put down a kill off of Riley's assist to create match point. Ball State would fight it off once, but Riley would respond with her 20th kill of the match to give the 'Hawks a 15-11 victory and a five-set win.
In addition to her 20 kills, Riley had 21 assists for a double-double. Kendall also had a double-double with a team leading 32 assists and 17 digs. Hardy also had 17 digs to tie for the team lead. Miami recorded 13 blocks for the match with Menche having a hand in eight of them (one solo and seven assisted).
Miami looks to keep the momentum going as it hits the road for a pair of matches next week. On Friday, the RedHawks travel to Ohio to take on the Bobcats at 7 p.m. They will then head to Kent State next Saturday for a 7 p.m. contest.

Back to Work
To students, it is September, not January that feels like the real start of the year. It's the same for elected officials and county staffers: that is when budgets are finalized, the fiscal year begins and projects kick into high gear after vacation.
This fall is a classic example. The commission's four months wrestling with the budget is nearing an end, but other challenges are just beginning, notably redrawing the nine district boundaries.
This newsletter gives you a deeper look into issues we face this season, plus news of some opportunities you might want to take advantage of. As always, government is a partnership between the citizens and their public servants. We can't do this alone. Please keep in touch with us.
Details of our toughest job – developing a balanced budget for fiscal year 2012 – are becoming clearer as we near two public hearings and the final votes this month. The good news is that despite what may be a slight drop in the valuations of property, we trimmed enough services, rooted out enough waste and found enough savings that we may not ask for an increase in fiscal year 2011's tax rate of 5.553 mills. The fact that many cities in Broward are increasing their tax rate shows how tough these trims were.
On the other side of the ledger, the lingering effects of the recession continue to challenge the County as we try to maintain essential services while facing long-term drops in income compared to past years. The general fund budget for the upcoming year is projected to be $931,402,950, which is $10 million less and a one percent reduction from the current year.
Until recently, we saw early hints of recovery in the economy, although it was clear that it was going to take longer to affect South Florida than other places in the country. But recent news has thrown economic forecasts into uncertainty. This reaffirms the County's need to consider saving money by delivering services regionally – for instance, consolidating administration and overhead costs among multiple counties.
We want to hear your suggestions; the commission will hold two public hearings—prior to its first and second votes on the final figures—at 5 p.m. on September 13 and 27 at the Governmental Center in Room 422, 115 S. Andrews Ave., in Fort Lauderdale.
"Redistricting" may sound like bureaucratic gobbledygook, but it's one of the crucial challenges that determines who represents you and how much of a voice you have in deciding the local issues that affect your life.
We need your advice this fall about how to redraw the borders of the nine county commissioners' districts.
Using fresh census data every ten years, the commission redraws the boundaries to ensure the population remains equal in each district and assure fair representation. This year, the commission will vote on the changes by late November or early December.
To begin with, a number of workshops have been slated for the public to learn the basics of the process and provide input, including two close to you in district 5:
Sept. 26, from 5 to 7 p.m.Tree Tops Park / Oak Auditorium3900 S.W. 100th Ave., Davie
Sept. 29 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.Government Center West1 University Drive, Plantation
Then the commission will hold two public hearings sometime in October and early November. Once again, your input is needed. One way to plot out your ideas is by drawing boundaries on your own maps. The State of Florida has developed Web-based software that the public can access for free at www.floridaredistricting.net. Click the button "My District Builder." Staff from the County Planning and Redevelopment Division can advise you on using the software and submitting maps. Paper maps are also available, with voter precincts and current Commission district boundaries noted, for people who want to draw maps by hand.
If you have any questions on the redistricting process or want any additional information please visit the redistricting website, or contact the County Planning and Redevelopment Division at 954-357-6602.
Few budget issues upset as many people as the cuts to the hours for our libraries and parks. Commissioners and County staff heard the outcry and are making changes this fall.
Most parks will be open nearly every day beginning Labor Day and some regional libraries will reopen for patrons on Sundays beginning October 2. The effort to reopen parks, except for Christmas Day and the day after Thanksgiving, does come with some trade-offs. The offices at the parks will cut their hours; there will be fewer County-sponsored amenities, activities and facilities; and more areas will not be mowed, which means smaller areas where pedestrians can walk. The reopening is made possible by using more part-time staffers during holidays and weekdays, plus manpower provided by volunteers.
The six largest regional libraries will reopen Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. including the West Regional Library at 8601 W. Broward Boulevard in Plantation, South Regional Library at 7300 Pines Boulevard in Pembroke Pines, and Southwest Regional Library at 16835 Sheridan Street, also in Pembroke Pines.
Residents also can check out books from the Alvin Sherman Library, Research and Information Technology Center at Nova Southeastern University in Davie on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. The Main Library in Fort Lauderdale will remain closed on weekends through at least the first half of 2012 while windows and doors are replaced to meet hurricane protection standards.
These changes were made possible by shifting the staff's hours and days off.
Driving on I-595 has become more challenging: exits disappearing, walls springing up a few feet from your car, a few more accidents than normal and considerably more congestion.
But disruptions have been minimal considering how much massive work is underway day and night. The project appears to be on schedule.
You can sidestep the worst problems by being aware of precisely when and where work will be concentrated. That allows you to plan detours or add extra travel time to trips. Also, watch for information on portable message boards posted along the corridor that give motorists a few days' warning about closings.
A map of lane and ramp closures, updated every few days, is available.
The most serious problem right now is the work creating "braided ramps". Limited working space between I-595 and SR 84 requires shutting down some current ramps while building them.
Two ramps have been closed completely until sometime in November:
The ramp leading off westbound SR 84 onto westbound I-595, located west of Pine Island Road. This ramp also served as the westbound entrance to I-595 coming from University. Traffic often backs up on that access road.
The ramp leading off westbound I-595 onto westbound SR 84, located at Exit 3 for Nob Hill Road.
Baby Boomers know that retirement is just a transition to another vital, productive chapter in their lives. The Leadership Broward Foundation wants to train this generation of retirees by enlisting their expertise to become community activists this fall.
The Foundation has created Encore! Leadership Broward classes to train residents at least 50 years old who are retired or are looking ahead toward that time of life. Encore! is designed to educate, inspire and connect them with information about opportunities for working with non-profit and government agencies strapped with budget cuts, as well as support tapping into their personal leadership goals.
Only 30 people will be accepted in the current class. Tuition is $250 but partial financial aid is available. Classes begin September 14 and last through November.
To learn more about the program, registration fees and to request an application, call Danielle Sylvester 954-767-8866 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Broward County is offering a new Energy Sense Appliance Rebate Program to residents and small- to medium-sized businesses that replace old appliances with more energy efficient appliances.
Up to $400,000 is available in rebates to eligible participants who purchase qualified Energy Star refrigerators, freezers or washing machines. The program is funded through the Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant.
Applicants must pre-register online and then mail an application to the County postmarked no later than November 4. Rebates will be available on a first-come, first-served basis only for appliances purchased on or after the pre-registration dates, which begin September 7 (businesses) and September 26 (residents).
Several information sessions will be held in libraries during September. For more information, call 954-357-7328 weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. or email email@example.com.

The Crusaders clicked for the first time this season to record a bonus point victory over the Bulls.
The Crusaders recorded a 41 – 19 win after leading 22 – 9 at half time.
Three tries in each half for the Crusaders got them their first win of the season, this after a slow start to the Super Rugby season. Six tries played a single try from the Bulls, who struggled to keep up with the pace the Crusaders were playing with.
The match started slowly with plenty of handling errors from the Crusaders, who just could not hold on to any passes. Once the passes stuck though, it was game over as the Crusaders' confidence grew with each try they scored.
Robbie Fruean went from villain to hero, dropping three balls in the first 10 minutes, only to be on the end of a run to score the first try. Once he went over, his confidence was back and was a menace to the Bulls for the remainder of the match.
The Bulls simply could not maintain the momentum they got with their win over the blues last week, with the players looking tired and not getting over the advantage line with ball in hand. Once they started playing catch up rugby, the shift in focus did not work and they fell well short in attacking prowess.
The Bulls' record of losing the second tour match continued, as their plan to win the first match on tour backfires for the second match. The jetlag kicked in this week as the players generally looked undercooked.
The Crusaders now await the courageous Kings while the Bulls leave New Zealand for the sunny shores of Brisbane, where they take on the Reds.

CONCORD – Brad Keselowski finished seventh at Talladega on a day in which most of his pursuers fared poorly. He managed to snake through the final-lap crash mostly intact, and as a result, he arrived at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Thursday with a 14-point edge in the points.
Under the point system implemented in 2011, 14 points are more important than under the previous system. It's nowhere near insurmountable, but with the halfway point of the Chase for the Sprint Cup coming in Saturday night's Bank of America 500, it's a decent edge.
"It's certainly a great start for our team to have won two races and finished sixth and seventh in the other two," Keselowski said. "It's certainly the start we all dreamed of as a team.
"I felt very fortunate to get through Talladega with, you know, the outing we had and the points lead. We're going to take advantage of it and capitalize off it."
Depends on how it's measured – In view of Dale Earnhardt Jr. being forced to sit out two races for medical reasons, drivers fielded a variety of concussion questions.
"I'll say I'm not a doctor, but I do have a loose understanding of what a concussion is," said Keselowski, "and I would venture to say, based on that understanding, everyone in this room has had a concussion. It comes to what severity and how it affects your performance."
"In other sports they have unions that protect the players," Kurt Busch noted. "In NASCAR we're all independent contractors. We don't have a union that is going to continue to play our bills for us. It's interesting when you have that scenario pop up.
"It's a judgment call for the doctor as well as the driver. They work through what they have to do to get in the car. Safety first out there."
Musical cockpits – In lieu of Earnhardt, Regan Smith, freshly and conveniently out of the Furniture Row Chevy in favor of Kurt Busch, climbed into the No. 88 for at least the next two races.
When Smith decided to take the ride – and who wouldn't? – James Finch turned to A.J. Allmendinger to pilot his No. 51.
"It's going to be the best car I've sat in, yes, there is no denying that," Smith said. "I just want to go out and make the most of it."
What's the punch line? Perhaps in gratitude for taking Earnhardt's ride for a race or two, and because of Earnhardt's recommendation, Rick Hendrick said he was thinking about running Smith for the Nationwide Series championship next year.

GREENVILLE — One bad egg may spoil the whole bunch. In North Lenoir's case it's been one bad inning ruining an entire game.
Added up they've spoiled an entire season thus far.
Hunter Harwood went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and Connor Grainger needed only 76 pitches to get through six innings as Whiteville used a big fifth inning to rout the Hawks 12-1 in a mercy rule-shortened contest Monday on Day 2 of the Pitt County Classic at Guy Smith Stadium.
The Wolfpack (12-1), who bounced back from their first loss of the year when it fell to Greenville Conley in the game prior, plated seven runs in the fifth thanks to three North Lenoir (3-8) errors that turned a two-run game into a blowout.
"It's been the same story all year — one bad inning costs us the whole game," said North Lenoir assistant Donnell Garris, who is filling in for longtime coach Jim Montague while he is away with family.
"It's just the same old story."
The Hawks, playing as the home team, played fairly decent defense heading into the fifth.
Whiteville's Turner Brown led off the game by reaching on an error, and then a walk issued to Ben Connor by North Lenoir right-hander Tyler Smith turned into a pair of runs on Grainger's two-run single in the first.
The next three innings saw Smith yield a pair of base hits and a walk, but defensively there was only one error made — a marked improvement from Saturday's eight-error performance against Raleigh Sanderson — and no runs allowed.
That all changed in the fifth.
Whiteville, the defending state 2A champion, tagged Smith for five hits and a walk, and further complicated things by scoring on a pair of fielding errors and a bad throw.
By the time Smith got N.C. State signee Nathan Hood to pop out to himself to end the inning, the damage had been done and the game, more-or-less, spoiled.
"We're just going to keep preaching and teaching and hoping it eventually clicks," Garris said.
It was also an offensive struggle for the Hawks.
Seth Beard went 3-for-3 and had half of their hits. Caleb Baird and Brandon Moore had doubles and Landon Letchworth singled in the fourth but the Hawks didn't score until Grainger balked in Baird from third base in the final inning.
North Lenoir loaded the bases without an out in the third on a pair of errors and Moore's double, but got nothing out of it. It again had the bags full in the fourth, albeit this time not until two were away. Again, the Hawks scored no runs.
It wasn't until the game was all but decided — and with two outs nonetheless in the bottom of the sixth — that North Lenoir scored on an umpire's ruling.
The Hawks will try and right the ship today when they wrap up the three-day event back here at 5 p.m. against Durham Riverside.
In two tournament games they've committed 13 total errors.
"We just have to fight through it," Garris said. "We can either find a way to get through it or have our season end way too soon."

More cameras
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?
Leica's latest addition to the range of APS-C X cameras adopts a 16-Mpix sensor and useful 28-70mm equivalent Vario-Elmar zoom. Read on to find out how well it performs.
Street photography is an appealing genre for many photographers, and has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to the proliferation of small high quality digital cameras and lenses. We've put together a concise round up of moderate wide-angle and telephoto lenses from each of the major camera systems. Read on to see which of the models we've chosen and what to expect from them in terms of image quality.
As the equivalent field of view to a 35mm f2.0, this high-speed, compact "pancake' type lens is an appealing option for the EOS M system user. Read on to find out how well this prime performs in our labs.
Following on from the enormous success of the OMD- E-M5, the firm has now upgraded its flagship PEN E-P model with a '5-axis' stabilized 16-MPix MOS sensor. Read on to find out how well it 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.
To website
On fixed-lens compacts like the Coolpix A, the lens is right at the heart of the imaging system, and ultimately just as important as the sensor and processor in determining the image quality. Fortunately the Nikkor 18.5mm 1:2.8 is really rather good: its only flaw is relatively strong vignetting that persists on stopping down. However the Ricoh GR's lens is just as good, while exhibiting less vignetting.
Read the article
After analyzing the lens performance of the Nikon Coolpix A, we've now turned our attention to that camera's direct competitor, the Ricoh GR. Read on to see how well the GR lens stacks up against the rival Nikkor.
To website
The Coolpix A represents a welcome expansion by Nikon into photographer-targeted niches that had previously been rather under-served. With it the company has brought its mass-market expertise to make a camera that offers the same simplified interface and pleasant JPEGs that underpin its popular entry-level DSLRs. Both these things help make it an attractive second camera for DSLR users, especially those who shoot Nikon.
Read the article
The $348 Sony E 20mm f/2.8 is a wide-angle prime for the Sony NEX range of hybrid still cameras and Interchangeable Lens camcorders. Its equivalent 30mm wide-angle focal length is ideal for interiors, landscapes or street photography, and a f/2.8 aperture is great in low-light. Just 20.4mm deep and weighing 69g it's compact for travelling light, but how will it perform?
Released in April 2013, the Ricoh GR goes by the tagline of "Everything is big, except the size". It points clearly to the raison d'être of this camera – to be a compact model with a large sensor with the aim of offering DSLR-like performance without the size and weight associated with them. As with several models in this niche, it seems to hark back to days gone by with a retro style. While this impacts the versatility of the camera, it's much easier to make a high quality prime lens that can extract the most from the large, 16megapixel APS-C sensor tucked away inside. Within this sector we've seen some very good cameras through the labs in recent months, so the GR has got stiff competition.
It seems that every passing month brings a new compact camera to the market, featuring a large sensor and the promise of higher image quality than its peers. However, while the sensor is often the star of the show, the lens is just as important and can make or break the performance of the camera. The Nikon Coolpix A is one of this new breed of large sensor compact cameras, and just a few years ago it would have seemed a most unlikely proposition. However, as technology has improved, costs have come down and it is now possible to fit large sensors in small cameras at a reasonable cost, but this does mean the lenses have to improve in tandem or they risk damaging the great work done by the sensor engineers.
Launched in March 2013 the $1097 Coolpix A is Nikon's first compact camera with an APC-S sensor and features the same 16.2-megapixel DX sensor from Nikon's D7000 DSLR but with its optical low-pass filter removed. Utilizing a fixed NIKKOR 18.5mm f/2.8 prime lens (equivalent to 28mm in 35mm terms) the Nikon Coolpix A has the right ingredients for great image quality so let's see how it performs.
Launched in September 2012 the Fujifilm XF1 is a fixed lens compact aimed at advanced enthusiasts after a pocket-sized second camera for holidays and photo day trips. Featuring customizable function buttons, creative exposure modes and a manual barrel zoom lens with a 25-100mm equivalent focal length, there's plenty of control for serious photographers to sink their teeth into. What's more with a 2/3-inch 12-megapixel EXR-CMOS Sensor at its heart we're optimistic the $499 Fujifilm XF1 will deliver on picture quality, too.
Launched at the Focus on Imaging UK photographic show on 4th March 2013 the strap line "The palm sized maestro" introduces the new flagship Nikon compact - the Coolpix A. The first Coolpix camera to feature a large APS-C sensor the Coolpix A boasts a 16.2-megapixel resolution together with a fixed NIKKOR 18.5mm f/2.8 lens - equivalent to 28mm in 35mm terms. According to Nikon the Coolpix A has been developed in response to the demands of street photographers looking for a light, portable camera with great image quality. With a $1099.95 list price it could be quite a niche market however so let's see what the Coolpix A promises.

At this point there's good support for X-Trans in Lightroom and Capture One. Zeiss considers the XF platform important enough to make lenses for. How much longer are you going to avoid allocating the resources? The X-E1 is a hit, you need to support it. The X-E1 is 14th on the Amazon best sellers, ahead of cameras like the Sony NEX-7 and the Olympus OM-D.

Re: Nikon A vs Fuji x100 and not S
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
As you probably know, the Fuji X-Pro 1 does not use a Bayer matrix but a "X-Trans" matrix. We will try to test this sensor, but although we try to respond to your requests to provide tests for specific camera models, there are no plans for doing it in the short term.
Best regards,
The DxOMark team

Nice!! Thank you for sharing Anton!
Thread: Gucci Guilty Pour Homme
This one is coming so soon after the women's Guillty (I was expecting men's version to come in fall).
according to the notes this will be sth citrusy (another one fresh fragrance?)
Top notes: Lemon, Lavender
Heart notes: Orange blossom
Base notes: Patchouli, Cedre
Nice!! Thank you for sharing Anton!

The bottle looks heavy, metallic and expensive:
Information is taken from Fragrantica.
Acqua di Giò is my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
Looks nice. I hope it is a Rush reincarnate!
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
The bottle looks like something from Diesel...

I don't like the bottle and the color scheme at all! But I'd be interested in trying a simple, clean but non-white musk, non-aquatic composition. I'd like to see how prominant the orange blossom is. This may be a good choice for next spring and summer.
I was looking at the ad... the model has a weird Bill Murray pout going on--he's trying to look sexy but it's just goofy .
bottle looks great.
a long lasting citrus is always welcome in my opinion, and if they are confident enough to publish it as the single heart note, this may be good.
Sounds interesting.
I think it's the ugliest bottle that Gucci ever made. It also seem inspired at True Religion's masculine bottle:
[img] http://www.fragrantica.com/images/perfume/nd.6024.jpg [/img]
I got a little bit worried about the fragrance too. From the list of notes, it sounds generic and the last gucci fragrances for men (gucci by gucci and gucci by gucci) were nothing amazing.
Gucci seem to make great fragrances for women of late but their men's fragrances??? Meh.
Gucci by Gucci for women is lovely, Guilty for women is also absolutely lovely. But Gucci by Gucci Homme is a nothingness and the Sport version smells like cats pee.
I actually quite like that bottle if I'm honest.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
the women's version is divine!
Release date is......drumroll............ ?
That last men's fragrance of Gucci's is one of the worst I've ever smelled. It was like...nothing. Like water and alcohol and salt. Absolutely *dreadful*.
I was wondering if this would happen and here it is.....Will have to wait and see.....Gary
hmm..very interested to see what this one smells like.
Gucci has been weird for me
Gucci Pour Homme 1 and Gucci Pour Homme 2 i LOVE
but Gucci by Gucci and the Sport addition...terrible...my friend gave me the gucci by gucci for free and the only reason its in my fragrance cabinet is that the bottle is awesome
The bottle kind of reminds me of True Religion for men.
I have to say I really like the print ad it is sexy but not in the skanky way Gucci advertisements usually are -
This darn well better be good ! I'm getting a bit impatient with newer releases. The notes look pretty decent. I don't expect a groundbreaking scent, just something acceptable.
Seeking: Bottles/decants : of Alain Delon Iquitos, Feeling Man, Gucci pour Homme, Essence of John Galliano, Opium pour Homme, Oxford & Cambridge, Azzaro pour Homme (vintage), Concentré D'Orange Verte...etc.
Seeking decant/sample of Jil Sander Feeling Man, Comme des Garcons 2 Man, Giorgio VIP, ....etc. I have samples to swap.
More HERE
Please PM me !
I think it's good to finally see some chest hair in an ad. The bottle I'm iffy about. Something about it just looks cheap, even though I can see they are trying to make it look weighty and perhaps classy.
The notes list sounds ok, and I'd love another male fragrance with prominent orange blossom notes. The women's is rather good with a strong lilac note (it reminds me of Omnia Amethyste but is more overtly sexy/extroverted), so there is hope here that the floral aspects are going to be pronounced in the mens as well.
***For sale:
Iris Pallida 50ml
Ungaro I 75ml

I think the bottle is butt-ugly. Thank goodness Mr. Chris Evans' chest (and chest hair) saves the ad (LOL).
I'm not holding my breath on this one guys - it's been quite a while since a Gucci fragrance wowed me. Once Tom Ford left the line, IMO, things went downhill fragrance-wise.
A few observations about the comments to this point:
1) Several comments about the guy and his chest hair. What about the female model? She's kind of cute in profile. No?
2) I actually don't think the bottle is awful. I think they may have been trying to also copy Aventus a bit too, by wrapping the bottom in something. I like it better than the Marc Jacob's Bang bottle. I'm probably in the minority here, but I thought the Bang bottle was horrible. It is a nice concept, and looked good in ads, but in person I thought it was gaudy and awkward to hold.
3) As for the juice, you guys probably nailed it. I have not been very impressed with any of the masculine releases. I did like the way Guilty Pour Femme smelled, though, so I'll be interested to sample this one.
anyone know the name of the girl in the ad? Shes gorgeous

Gucci by Gucci is weird to me. I don't dislike it but I don't like it alot either. Ambivalent. The first time I really thought it would be goof for work and then the other testings have me going "uh." The Sport version is absolutely trash and horrible. Hoepfully this is better than those. I wonder when this one shows up if the Sport disappears.

Hmm this is weird. This thread motivated me to give Gucci by Gucci another try, and i actually really like it. I dont really really like it. But i think its a good smell. Its masculine and sweet. But the Sport version i know i hate for sure. Id rather wear Axe Body Spray.
But hey..i think im slowly finding my favorite fragrance house potentially? I mean Gucci Pour Homme 1 is slowly(very slowly) potentially creeping in as my number one favorite fragrance. Gucci Pour Homme 2 is definitely going to be in my next updated Top 10, and now Gucci By Gucci is certainly something i find myself enjoying right now as im smelling myself .
I guess im inclined to go to Sephora and try Gucci Envy, because i saw they had it there but i for some reason didnt try it
And now im even more excited for this new release!
Smelt it today? Was at the Gucci store when I went today.
Envy For Men is gorgeous. Apparently it's being discontinued though. Musc Ravageur is quite similar though, but a lot pricier alas.
No i quite distinctly saw Guilty...I'll double check tomorrow
From the notes it sounds like it will be a sheer woody-soapy fragrance with citrus topnotes. Hope only it won't be too sweet in the drydown and too soapy
:::::: Visit My Blog: La gardenia nell'occhiello ::::::
Well, based on Chris Evans' (guy in the poster) resume... This fragrance will be:

From WWD- The fragrance will launch, in Europe, beginning in March. Prices are $59/1.7, $75/3.1. No set date for a U.S. launch but Gucci usually doesn't delay rollout for long.
Just got done with a seminar and got to sample it!!!! We all loved it and can't wait for the release. To me it was mostly woods in the base but you defiantly get the amber as well and the lavender is fairly present. By the time I got my card the top notes were mostly gone. It's expected to ship in April and hit shelves by may. Msrp is 57 for 1.6 and 73 for 3.0 I also have the pricing for the shampoos and what not if anyone is interested
So you can confirm that it does actually smell of *something*, unlike Gucci by Gucci? That's a start at least!

Not only did Thursday night's football scrimmage at Kinston High School feature a sneak peek at two of the east's traditional 2A powerhouses, it was also a homecoming of sorts for one coach.
East Duplin's Battle Holley, beginning his fourth year at the school and third as head coach, led the Kinston program to 22 wins and a pair of state playoff berths in 2008 and 2009 before leaving to return to his Duplin County roots.
"It's always good coming back here," Battle said. "I made a lot of friends at Kinston and the school will always hold a special place in my heart."
While at Kinston, Holley even engineered a victory over his current school when the Vikings topped the Panthers 17-14 in the 2009 state playoffs, the last time the two teams have met.
And though Thursday's clash didn't count in the standings, it was just as competitive as that 2009 matchup.
"We knew having East Duplin come in would better prepare us for the upcoming season," Kinston coach Ryan Gieselman said. "They're talented, well-coached and very good at exposing your weaknesses."
As in any preseason scrimmage, there was plenty of good and bad on both sides of the ball.
On the plus side, Kinston's speed on offense caused the Panthers' defense tons of problems. The Vikings passing attack was especially productive.
Junior quarterback Raquise Bellamy missed just three passes and extended several plays with his scrambling ability.
During the first half of the scrimmage, as the teams worked on basic half-field situations, Bellamy torched the Panther defense for 5 touchdowns, 3 to senior standout Tiquan Canady, who proved nearly unstoppable.
Bellamy also connected with Qwari Ham and Anthony Pitts for scores.
Kinston also moved the ball on the ground, particularly with the option pitch to Raheem Freeland, although the rushing attack was not as consistent as the air barrage.
"Overall, I'm please with the way our offense played," Gieselman said. "We gained yardage against a good defense; the only downside is that we made too many penalties."
The second half of the scrimmage featured timed, full-field game situations.
Kinston reached the end zone three times on four possessions, failing only when Bellamy was picked off near midfield. Bellamy and Canady also hooked up for a beautiful 38-yard TD.
East Duplin managed two TD's on five possessions. They were forced to punt once and turned the ball over twice. Even so, the Panthers experienced success with their renowned power running game.
"We've got to do a better job of tackling," Gieselman said. "We forced a couple of turnovers, which was nice, but we definitely had problems with their misdirection. We need to get better at stopping the run; there are a couple of teams in our conference that run similar offenses."
On the other sideline, ED's Holley was pleased with what he saw.
"Overall, we did a pretty good job," said Holley, who is 18-6 in his first two seasons at the Panther helm. "Like any team at this stage we've got a lot to work on, but I think we're progressing like we should and that we'll be fine. You don't want to be playing your best football at this time of the year anyway."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The deadly military-style assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, has raised numerous foreign policy and national security questions and fueled a fierce, partisan election debate over the Obama administration's handling of the attack.
Benghazi questions fuel fierce partisan debate
The strike that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans is either proof of President Barack Obama's leadership failures or a tragic event that occurred despite the administration's best efforts to protect the compound and respond in the aftermath of the attack, according to highly charged arguments on both sides.
Administration officials have warned against drawing conclusions from individual documents that have leaked into the public sphere. They maintain that a full picture of what happened and any assessment of blame can only be determined after a complete review of all the evidence. But as documents continue to surface in the final days of the presidential campaign, the intensity of allegations of administration impropriety or incompetence has risen.
A look at what is known, what is still unanswered and who is investigating the incident that has called into doubt Washington's ability to predict such events, secure American personnel in dangerous places and track down those responsible.
At 9:40 p.m. local time on Sept. 11, the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in the United States, organized, well-armed attackers stormed the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. The attack occurred within hours of demonstrators in neighboring Egypt scaling the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to protest an American-made, anti-Islam film. Those protests spread in the following days across the Muslim world from Morocco to India, with 50 people killed.
The attackers breached the Benghazi consulate's perimeter and set fire to parts of the compound, including the building where Stevens, his security guard and State Department information officer Sean Smith, took refuge in a safe room. Diplomatic security agents on the site notified Washington, the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli and a nearby CIA office of the attack. They tried, unsuccessfully, to repel the assault. Reinforcements arrived from the CIA annex to evacuate those on the compound, but Smith was already dead and Stevens could not be found. The group fell back to the CIA annex, which later came under well-aimed mortar fire, killing CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, both former Navy SEALs. The bodies of the victims and the survivors of the attack were evacuated from Benghazi.
National Security Adviser Tom Donilon advised Obama of the attack at about 5 p.m. in Washington (11 p.m. in Libya) while he was meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey. Obama ordered that the U.S. begin moving military assets into the region to prepare for a range of contingencies. Those didn't arrive until the fighting was over at 4 a.m. Libya time, or 10 p.m. in Washington.
Q: Was there an intelligence failure? Did the Obama administration know about threats to the Benghazi consulate that could have allowed it to either prevent or turn back the attack?
A: Multiple senior administration officials have said there was no specific, credible threat information about a planned attack on the consulate on Sept. 11 or any other date. U.S. officials have said that while they now believe the attack was planned, it appears that it was planned a few hours in advance, not days or weeks.
However, those officials also have noted a serious deterioration in the security situation in Benghazi in the months leading up to the attack, including several previous incidents at the consulate itself, the office of the International Red Cross and an attempt on the life of the British ambassador to Libya.
Former Libya-based security officials have said the threat environment was extremely dangerous and Stevens himself had written cables back to Washington stressing the worsening conditions and heightened extremist activity. And documents found at the site six weeks after the attack indicate that consulate employees noticed a local Libyan police officer taking photos of the consulate from a building across the street on the morning of Sept. 11, according to Foreign Policy magazine.
The White House was aware of a growing terrorist threat in the region. It signed off a year ago on a new counterterrorism task force in North Africa to combat what it believes is a growing threat from al-Qaida-linked militants in northern Mali, Libya and elsewhere in the region. An elite Delta Force team has been in the region for six months, beginning to set up its intelligence and targeting network.
Q: Should the administration have increased security at the consulate based on the danger in Benghazi? Would it have made a difference?
A: State Department officials have testified to Congress that security at the compound was adequate for the assessed threat level. Those same officials have acknowledged that the security was clearly inadequate for the size and scale of the Sept. 11 attack. Fox News has reported, citing a classified cable, that consulate security staffers warned a month before the attack that the Benghazi compound was vulnerable. Appeals for additional manpower from the former regional security officer at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli and the commander of a Tripoli-based military team were denied. But officials insist there is no guarantee that the requested extra support would have been enough to deter or defend against such a sustained attack. The consulate was lightly guarded compared with other diplomatic missions of its size in volatile locations.

Ware, MA (March 15, 2013) - Sunday, May 5, marks the eighth annual Walk of Champions. Once again the Goodnough Dike area of the Quabbin Reservoir will be filled with hundreds of people walking in honor or in memory of loved ones affected by cancer, all with the determination to make a difference in those affected by the disease.
Touched by the wonderful care, compassion and comfort given by Nurse, Maggie Miller and all the staff at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital during his mother's long struggle with cancer, the Walk of Champions was founded by Ladies Field Hockey Coach, John O'Neill, of Quaboag Regional Middle High School in 2006. As the number of walkers increased, The Walk of Champions move in 2008 from its Warren location to the Quabbin Reservoir in memory of Steven Gagner, who served as a state trooper for 24 years and was stationed at the Quabbin; he had just turned 55 when he died of pancreatic cancer.
Keeping cancer care local is important, and we are honored by the hundreds of walkers who participate in the Walk of Champions," said Lori Tuttle, RN, OCN, Program Manager of the Baystate Regional Cancer Program Oncology Satellite at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital. "Our patients come from many area communities to receive their treatment here because of the expert care as well as the atmosphere of hope and friendship that we are known for. Our Oncology Team works together to meet the medical and social challenges that patients face with a cancer diagnosis," said Tuttle.
Chandravathi Loke, MD, and Richard Steingart, MD, are faculty members of the Baystate Medical Practices Division of Hematology and Oncology who provide
convenient access to comprehensive cancer care, clinical trials and a multidisciplinary team approach to cancer care at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital. In 2012 the unit relocated and expanded to the 4th floor of the hospital, formerly the Women & Infants Unit.
Since his diagnosis of a rare from of leukemia in 2000 and then prostate cancer in 2007
The oncology team at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital remains at the side of patient James Korzec of North Brookfield throughout his care in Ware. "Throughout the years, they have provided me and my family, with the best care we could have ever hoped for." Korzec and his family will come together for the second year as "Team Showboat" at the Walk of Champions teams in honor and memory of his brother Richard "Showboat" Korzec.
"It is a privilege to be able to help patients and their families during one of the most trying times of their lives," said Dr. Loke. "Hematology/Oncology is an exciting, challenging field to be involved in as rapidly evolving research findings translate into patient care and we have more options to offer our patients than ever before."
Hematologist, Richard Steingart, MD, who has been providing care in Ware for close to 15 years talks about the close relationships he has developed with the patients that he sees who have been born and live in the area. "Patients can be intimidated to go to the city for care, as a team we do an excellent job caring for them locally," said Dr. Steingart. "They are so appreciative, the experience is mutual, and we always want to do more for them. The nursing and support staff is solid and caring and I love coming here to provide care."
In 2012 a record number of walkers participated in the Walk of Champions which is held annually on the first Sunday in May to benefit cancer care services at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital.
"We are so fortunate in this region to be surrounded by a generous community," said Chuck Gijanto, President of Baystate Regional Markets which includes Baystate Mary Lane Hospital. "In 2012 more than 1,200 walkers raised $77,400 in an extraordinary show of support for friends, family members and neighbors who have been touched by cancer. Since 2006, the Walk of Champions has raised over $377,000. to benefit cancer care, right here in our community, all made possible by individual walkers, teams and many area businesses that sponsor the Walk of Champions."
Now is the time to form a team and become involved in the 2013 Walk of Champions and help make a in difference in the lives of people undergoing cancer treatment at the Baystate Regional Cancer Program Oncology Satellite at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital. The Walk of Champions offers a 5 mile or 2 mile walk among the comfortable walking terrain of the Goodnough Dike. Along the walk route, there will be entertainment and refreshments among the peace and beauty of the Quabbin Reservoir. Country Bank for Savings is the presenting sponsor of the Walk of Champions, with major sponsorships from local businesses including Heath New England, Amgen "Breakaway from Cancer," Intercity Lines, Inc., Pioneer Provisions, LLC, Family First Bank and Janine's Frostee, in the commitment to raise funds to benefit Integrated Cancer Services at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital.
Pledge forms are available for businesses, community organizations, and community members who are participating in the walk. Registration for the Walk, fundraising resources and more including online giving opportunities can be found on the Walk of Champions website at www.baystatehealth.org/WOC. For more information about the Walk of Champions, or to find out how you can become involved, call Michelle Graci, Manager of Fund Raising Events BHF at (413) 794-7654 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lake St. Clair has an average depth of around 10 feet with a constant influx of cool water from Lake Huron. Fishing activity stays consistent throughout the entire summer! Some of the best action of the year occurs in July and August while working weed edges, gravel bars, rock piles, and hidden shipwrecks in the main lake. Mixed bags catches are common and Mr. Muskie can show up at any time.
Fall is big fish time! September, October, and early November are great times to target super-sized smallmouth and really focus on chasing muskies. It is not uncommon for big bass to eat the same giant streamers being thrown for muskies. Much of this is sight fishing and is a very exciting saltwater-like experience.
Capt. Brian Meszaros is recognized as a top warmwater fly fisher and guide. He has over 30 years of experience on Lake St. Clair and is a member of the Scott Fly Rod Pro Staff. Capt.

Weekend Workshop
Friday, Jan 10, 2014, 6:00 PM
Sunday, Jan 12, 2014, 12:00 PM (All times are local to the event.)
Have you ever wanted to go deeper with yoga and explore aspects of the practice you have not been able to touch? Have you ever wanted to reap greater benefits than you receive from weekly classes?
A yoga retreat is an opportunity to delve more deeply into the practice of yoga and more deeply into yourself. It is a chance to calm the mind and become acquainted with what yogis have known for over 2000 years. It is also a chance to greatly refine your poses, work on physical and emotional imbalances, and get more personal guidance with your practice.
In this three day exploration of yoga based on the work of BKS Iyengar, we will delve into the 3rd and 4th limbs (asana and pranayama) of the 8-limbed yoga path. We will explore the nuances of asana (posture) and learn ways to work wisely not only to open up our physical bodies, but also to deepen our awareness of the body's innate, but often hidden, intelligence. Time will be dedicated to the practice of pranayama (breath and energy control) as we learn to go inside and observe ourselves at deeper levels.
To register, please contact Jory Serota at 415-686-1883 or via email at email@example.com
$575 for single room occupancy if paid before Dec. 1st / $625 after
$550 for double room occupancy if paid before Dec. 1st / $600 after
Retreat begins Friday at 6pm and will be done by 12 noon on Sunday. Check in time on Friday will be 4pm.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - The National Football League and counsel for the retired player plaintiffs announced Wednesday a revised settlement agreement in the NFL concussion litigation.
In the updated agreement, the NFL's obligations under the monetary award fund will not be capped at any specified amount. The previous agreement had a cap of $765 million, but that agreement was rejected by presiding U.S. District Court Judge Anita Brody, who in January said she was unsure if the amount of the monetary agreement would be sufficient and encouraged the sides to come to a different settlement.
"This agreement will give retired players and their families immediate help if they suffer from a qualifying neurocognitive illness, and provide peace of mind to those who fear they may develop a condition in the future," said co- lead plaintiffs' counsel Christopher Seeger and Sol Weiss. "This settlement guarantees that these benefits will be there if needed, and does so without years of litigation that may have left many retired players without any recourse."
This revised agreement means that once the compensation program is established funds will be available to any retired player who develops a qualifying neurocognitive condition.
"Today's agreement reaffirms the NFL's commitment to provide help to those retired players and their families who are in need, and to do so without the delay, expense and emotional cost associated with protracted litigation. We are eager to move forward with the process of court approval and implementation of the settlement," said NFL Senior Vice President Anastasia Danias.
Consistent with the original settlement announced last year, the revised agreement provides a wide range of benefits to retired NFL players and their families, including a separate fund to offer all eligible retirees a comprehensive medical exam and follow-up benefits, and an injury compensation fund for retirees who have suffered cognitive impairment, including dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or ALS.
Additionally, where the retiree is deceased or unable to pursue his claim, a family member may do so on his behalf. While actuarial estimates from both parties supported the $765 million settlement that was announced in August, this new agreement will ensure funds are available to any eligible retired player who develops a compensable injury.
The agreement also provides that the NFL will set aside $10 million for education on concussion prevention, as well as pay the costs of providing notice to the class and for administration of the settlement.
If the Court grants preliminary approval, retired players will be formally notified of the settlement, with a final approval hearing likely to occur later this year.
More than 4,500 former players, including Hall of Famers Tony Dorsett and Eric Dickerson, filed suit against the NFL. Those plaintiffs believed the NFL knew about the dangers of concussions and for years hid information from those who suffered such injuries during their careers.
