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.
One of the hottest launches from this year's Photokina trade show, the Nikon D750, has grabbed the attention of serious amateurs and pros alike. Boasting a newly developed 24.3Mp sensor, expanded ISO sensitivity range and a host of features from their pro DSLRs it looks a mouth-watering prospect. Lets take a look at the D750 sensor scores and results to see how it stacks up against the full frame competition.
Nikon have launched a new full frame FX 'consumer' DSLR. Representing a new product line, the new Nikon D750 sits between Nikon's full frame consumer D610 and professional D810 DSLR and shares features and specs from both models. Featuring a 'newly designed' 24.3Mp sensor we look ahead to see how it might perform.
Now that the World Cup is underway in Brazil we thought we would turn out attention to well-known two teams battling at the side of the pitch. In the white strip we have the Canon EOS-1 D X and the Nikon D4S are sporting all black. Read on to see for yourself how these two teams compare and how well they perform when put to the test.
If you read the forums on colleagues' sites lots of users lament the selling of their old full-frame Canon EOS 5D, Nikon D700 or even their bulky Nikon D3 or D3s. Practically every user, so it seems, says their pictures from those old models had something special that the newer models lack. Sony think they may be on to something and have introduced the A7S a full-frame model with a newly-developed 12.2-Mpix CMOS sensor. Read on to find out well this new model performs?
Just in time for the Football World Cup Nikon have launched a new super telephoto prime lens for professional sports & news photographers. The AF-S Nikkor 400mm f/2.8E FL VR promises improved optical performance, in a lighter and more ergonomic design, together with a brand new SPORT VR mode.
Nikon's mid-term revision to their flagship full-frame D4 series camera includes an updated 16-Mpix CMOS sensor and the new Expeed 4 processor amongst a raft of other, mostly subtle refinements. Read on to find out how the new top-of-the-range model performs.
The highly configurable RED Epic Dragon is the latest version of the firm's original Epic-M Digital Still and Motion Camera (DSMC). Although we are more used to analyzing still cameras at DxOMark, we've had a unique opportunity to assess RAW output from a prototype using all of our usual industry standard tests. As the results were extraordinary, we thought we would share the findings. Read on to find out how this high-performance sensor performs.
Following on the from the lens recommendations for the new mid-range DX format Nikon D5300, we've now completed the assessment of the full-frame Nikon Df. We've tested the camera with more than 90 Nikkor and third-party prime lenses and zooms to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses perform best when paired with the new camera.
Nikon's retro styled Df harks back to the days film externally, but the metal shell with its plethora of dials and buttons conceals a state-of-the-art 16-Mpix CMOS sensor intended for the worst imaginable lighting conditions. Read on to find out how this new addition to the range performs.
As the lower pixel count of the two full-frame A series mirrorless models from the firm the Sony A7 has been somewhat overshadowed by its pricier sibling. But with a less demanding 24-Mpix sensor and on-chip phase detection AF, the A7 sounds promising for legacy glass as well as offering faster focusing with the existing E and new FE mount lenses. Read on to find out how this intriguing new model performs.
Announced at Photokina 2012 the new Leica M digital rangefinder camera is available for pre-order and expected to ship soon. Although the 4th rangefinder in the M range to feature a full frame sensor, Leica have changed from the previously used Truesense 18Mp CCD to a CMOSIS 24Mp CMOS model. With new features added too expectations are running high, so lets get under the hood and see what it has to offer.
Announced in 2012, the Nikon D800 is the current undisputed king of DxOMark, with results that eclipse every other camera from all other manufacturers. However, with so much resolution on tap, the question is, which lenses should you use to make the best of what you've got? The DxOMark labs have tested 61 different lenses on the D800 to bring you an unparalleled resource of which lenses are best and which should be avoided. To make it easy to follow, we have broken the reviews down into sections so you can concentrate on the lenses that are important to you. This first section will give you an overview of the D800. We will follow this with a review of the standard focal length lenses, then the telephoto lenses and super-zooms and finally there will be a wide-angle review.
Leica enthusiasts are getting excited as the revered German manufacturer looks set to ship their new M Type 240 digital rangefinder very soon. Featuring a brand new 24-megapixel CMOS sensor, the latest model in the M Series departs from the CCD sensor technology Leica have previously used. So as we await the new, let's look back at the Sensor Scores for the M9, M9-P and M-E Type 220 using that CCD Sensor, to get us in the mood.
The EOS 1D X is the new flagship camera announced at the top of Canon's professional range of DSLRs. It will have the difficult task to replace both the sport-specialized, fast 1D series and the studio-oriented, high resolution 1DS series.
The Nikon D4 spent only a few days in the top spot for DxOMark sensor results before being dethroned by the Nikon D800, which is a complete success in every sensor-related respect:
In the course of the past several weeks, both Canon and Nikon unveiled their professional digital reflex cameras for the next two years to come. With the D4, Nikon has updated a number of points in its pro camera body which cumulatively lead to an entirely new generation of SLR camera.
A few weeks ago, in response to the announcement of the Canon EOS 1D X, Nikon unveiled its new flagship camera, the Nikon D4, which replaces the D3s at the top of the Nikon DSLR line-up.
Three-and-a-half years after the release of the full-frame reflex EOS 5D Mark II, Canon finally unveils its successor, the EOS 5D Mark III, a reflex camera that takes several significant qualitative and functional leaps forward by borrowing the latest must-haves in photo technology from the EOS 7D and the EOS-1D X.
Despite its success with its latest high-end camera models (the Nikon D3s and D3x), Nikon had yet to respond to the great success of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, whose superior resolution and numerous features (notably with respect to video) simply outclassed the aging Nikon D700.
Last Friday we had the chance to attend the Nikon press conference introducing the Nikon D4 and lay our hands on a pre-production model used for filming and broadcasting the conference live on the web.
In response to the announcement of the Canon EOS 1D X, Nikon just unveiled its new flagship camera, the Nikon D4, which replaces the D3s at the top of the Nikon DSLR line-up. This new model features impressive specs: a new 16-Mpix FX sensor with sensitivity up to 200,000 ISO, uncompressed Full HD video recording with autofocus, 11 fps burst mode, improved 51-point autofocus module, face detection, wireless control...

Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED on D4

This a comment for this page on the website
Am I reading wrong, or does DxOMark list two different scores for the Nikon AF-S VR 105mm f/2.8G IE-ED on the D4? One one page the score appears to be 35 and on another 27. See:

Re: Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED on D4
You are not reading wrong! Here is the explanation: we changed the dxomark and sharpness scoring system last December (for further information you can have a look at DxOMark's Perceptual Megapixel on this page: www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/Looking-for-new-photo-gear-DxOMark-s-Perceptual-Megapixel-can-help-you).
For this reason, previous reviews using the old scoring system are now indicated with a banner. This one was actually missing but that should be fixed soon.
Sorry for that!
ISO performance
but this is a conspiracy against DxO ....... still denied its results ....
another denial
Opss...... another site that belies the DxO dynamic range:
When you are not sincere
if you click here, and understand Italian, you can see that your assessment of the noise and dynamic range is too sbilanciat in favor of NIKON.
In Reala is better the Canon ......

What a joke!
I agree with avicenna. The 70-200 II came out in 2009 and you haven't had a chance to get your hands on one?? Stop comparing lenses that cost orders of magnitude more or less than others, and please check other sites before you recommend a 20 year old lens over a brand new one that all other sites consider improved (50 f/1.8s). You probably have a bad copy if your tests are against all other recommendations!

Missing newer lenses for comparison

This a comment for this page on the website

You guys need to catch up on lens reviews before you post lens recommendation articles...
Some of the lenses you recommend are so old you can't even BUY them anymore. Many sections completely ignore newer lenses that are far superior to the old versions (Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-S for example), just because you haven't reviewed them.
You are doing a disservice to your readers.
Lenses for sports and wildlife photographers
> where is the Nikon 70-200 VR II f/2.8 and the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8
Lens suggestions for portrait photographers
> where is the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AF-D and Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AF-S
Fixed Prime Lens Recommendation
> where is the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-S - it should outperform the older AF-D version
The ultimate wide-angle lens for landscape photographers
> THIS is the worst. How can you compare a 24mm f/1.4, a 20mm f/2.8 that costs 1/4 of the price, and a manual-focus 14mm!!! Especially the 14mm, which is 40% wider of an angle than the 24mm!
> You should have compared the Nikon 24mm f/1.4 versus the newer Nikon 28mm f/1.8 and the older Nikon 28mm f/1.4 AF-D.
> Or how about the Nikon 28mm f/2.8, 24mm f/2.8 and 20mm f/2.8 for a budget prime shootout?
Micro lens recommendation
> Where's the new version - the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 OS. You can't even BUY the old version anymore!
> What about the Tokina 100mm macro? Should have been a 4-way comparison of Nikon, Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina lenses.
Missing section: Ultra wide angle
> Here's where you put the Samyang 14mm - compare it against the Nikon 14mm f/2.8 and the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8.
> Or compare the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 against the Tokina 16-28 f/2.8 and Sigma 12-24 f/4.5-5.6.
> Or compare the Nikon 17-35 f/2.8 and the Nikon 16-35 f/4 against the Tokina 16-28.
Missing Section: NORMAL ZOOM
> This is the lens type that most people buy anyway, and yet, it's not here.
> Where is the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8, the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8, the new Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC, the new Nikon 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 VR, or even some of the old Nikon f/2.8 zooms (since we're doing ancient lenses anyway).

D4 vs D800
Hi to all,
Just thought I would share my opinion on the D4 and D800. It might help some of you guys out.
I owned a D3s and D300 and now use the D4 and D800 for weddings, model shoots and urban photography.
First I would like to state that the D4 is just the best camera I ever owned. It is really superb. I also shot with Canon (5D mkII) but the Nikon models just feel better when holding them. When it comes to overall image quality I would just as easily use a Canon camera. Just to point out I am not one of those guys who loves to bash the other brand :) Nikon or Canon are both great camera manufactures but I just prefer Nikon.
On all camera's I use a 14-24 2.8, 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8. So there was no difference regarding lenses.
The picture quality of the D800 and D4 are in my opinion pretty much the same. The higher resolution of the D800 makes reducing noise somewhat easier and brings out a little more detail.
The D4 however is much better build. I find the D800 more plastic and it feels somewhat cheap.
But when it comes to model shoots the higher resolution is just great to have.
During a wedding I use the D4 for the make-up shots, ceremony, diner and party. But for the bridal shoot I use the D800 for 90% off the time. When I need higher ISO's I drop the D800 and go back to my D4.
The D4 is fast while focussing and has a better ISO performance than the D3s. Most say that the ISO performance of the D3s and D4 are the same but that is not true. I can go up to ISO 10000 on my D4 and get the same quality as when I shot at ISO 6400 on my D3s. For my D800 and Canon 5D MKII I won't go higher than ISO 3200. And on my D300 I really didn't go any higher than ISO 1200. Just to point out that I am really picky when it comes to noise.
The battery life of the D4 is also better than some say. I shoot around 1700 images during a wedding (starting at 8:00 AM till 1:00 AM) and still have 3 bars left.
I don't do video so I can't say if Canon does a better job on this part.
In my opinion the D4 is the best camera to have.
If you can afford it, go for it. I sold my D3s and paid a lot extra for the D4 and find the better focus (in the dark), higher resolution (for cropping) and better ISO performance are worth the money. For all types of photography in which you need a fast focussing monster camera this would be the one.
When doing solely model shoots or urban photography the D800 would be the best choice because of the higher resolution.
For nature photography go for the D800E.
If you don't need the higher resolution and don't have the cash for a D4, then buy a second hand D3s. You can buy one for around 3000 euro's which is the same price as a D800. But the D3s is much better build. And the ISO performance of a D3s is so much better than on a D800.
Hope this will help some of you decide.
You can find my work on pixed.nl

Why use old lenses?
Hi Just have a question: Why do you use old lenses for the tests? There is a BIG difference between the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED and the newer version 70-200mm II.

Sony pro relfex?
Probably not, its more mirrorless even tho mirror is still there, but its EVF based camera. Sony wont make dSLR in future. Cause of that I doubt they will match D800, there will be loss of SNR due half-silvered mirror if I dont count that one which will be caused by different CFA and Sony usuall approach "colors over everything" (which is why I like them :). Plus D3x didnt performed like A900 either (cause Nikon is pretty good in squeezing Sony chips). Tho as main supplier for Nikon, they actually profit either if Nikon wins.
Im quite interested in what should be "lower" Sony model with 24 mpix FF (revised or new chip supposedly). Imagine 36 mpix A99 priced around D800, then decent 24 mpix FF priced quite a bit lower.. :D

This morning, I want you to pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee, lean back in your recliner, close your eyes and think.
Think some good thoughts, things that may just bring a little smile to your lips.
It does not have to be big stuff, like winning the lottery. You can think small.
And I'll try to do the same.
Think about a warm cinnamon roll or doughnut. Hmmm.
And be thankful for that cup of coffee you're holding.
Sunny-side up eggs. I love 'em.
Look at that poinsettia on the counter. It just keeps hanging on. I probably should plant it out in the yard, but it 's doing pretty well inside.
Think about old cars. I mean really old cars, like the one I drive every day.
I always get in it with a little prayer that it will get me to work and get me home.
The animal crackers in a big jug in my office at work. They're enjoyed by all.
And you know what? There's only 120 calories in 16 of them. And you can make 16 animal crackers last a pretty good little while, one by one.
Cloth napkins, even if you're not at a fancy restaurant.
Jeans. I always look forward to Friday when we can wear jeans to work.
Bow ties. They're great! Roger, you do them proud.
Red nail polish on a lady's toenails.
Little pansy faces peeping at me when I come out every day.
Oatmeal cookies with raisins. That would go well with that coffee I mentioned.
Or maybe a cup of cocoa with marshmallows.
Crew cuts.
A full moon and a sky full of stars.
Hats. Cowboy, cowgirl, a derby or a farmer's straw. I do love hats.
Quilts, especially when you recognize the fabric from a dress gone by.
Finding a penny. Or a dime, for that matter.
Pocket watches and Mickey Mouse watches.
Along those lines, my cuckoo clock, and my mantle clock from the early days of my parents' marriage.
Elvis stamps. Elvis singing hymns. Elvis singing anything. Elvis, period!
Curly fries like they make at Hursey's
Beige or black lingerie.
Embroidered pillowcases from long ago that I still use on my bed.
A flashlight that works.
Puddles after a rain.
Maple syrup and real butter on pancakes. Or waffles.
While we're talking food, how about cheesecake? That's good stuff.
Oh, and what could be better than sitting in the swing just before dark with another cup of that good coffee?
Don't guess we'll smell it for a while, but a smell of a wood fire or somebody cooking a steak on the grill is great while you're sitting in that swing.
Old fashioned telephones, the kind that stay put while you're dialing – yes, dialing – your number.
Black-eyed Susans that are coming up all over my flower bed. Last year, they nearly hid the house.
Amtrak, if I can't have a steam locomotive.
And it's getting to be fresh tomato and corn on the cob time. Umm-mmm.
A rooster crowing. It's been many moons since I heard that sound.
Sun tea. It's been a while since I made that, but summer is coming.
Rocking chairs
Wind chimes
Bagels with cream cheese.
Goldfish flitting around in their own little water world.
Christmas stockings, even empty ones.
A book that's so interesting, you can't put it down.
Being grateful for small things is easy … try making a list of your own,

Baseball Ends Opening Weekend with Pair of Losses to Nationally-Ranked Teams
February 2, 2013
SALISBURY, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University baseball wrapped up its 2013 opening weekend with a pair of losses to nationally-ranked opponents on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons dropped an 8-1 decision to #13 Catawba before falling to #17 Tusculum 16-3. Pfeiffer stands at 0-3 on the year heading into Tuesday's home opener against Carson-Newman.
Pfeiffer's lone run of the opener against Catawba came in the top of the first as Jon Gray started a two-out rally with a double to left. Matt Wade followed by delivering his own double to center on the next pitch for a 1-0 Falcon lead. From there, Catawba would immediately respond with a three-run blast in the bottom of the frame while adding another big inning later with a four-run fifth. Gray, along with Kyle Hackney, would each collect two hits of Pfeiffer's five hits in the loss.
Against #17 Tusculum, Pfeiffer would again strike first in the top of the second as small ball contributed to the game's first run. Wade started with a lead-off walk and advanced to second on a wild pitch. After a Dalton Lindley walk, a Jacob Yates single to center would result in Lindley being thrown out at second while Wade advanced to third. Aarin Sharpe would then drop down a sacrifice bunt to plate Wade for Pfeiffer's first run.
After Tusculum delivered a six-spot in the bottom of the frame, the Falcons got back on the board in the sixth using a Gray single up the middle that brought home Johnny Brown, Jr. Again, the Pioneers responded in a big way adding another half-dozen runs in the bottom of the sixth. Brown, Jr. would cap Pfeiffer's scoring with a solo shot in the top of the eighth. Offense again struggled for Pfeiffer with just four hits in the nightcap. Tusculum would pound out 16 runs using 16 hits.
Pfeiffer will now look towards the 2013 home opener at Joe Ferebee Field on Tuesday afternoon hosting Carson-Newman at 2:00 p.m.

Awesome Magnets
There were plenty of magnet designs to choose from and I liked how I was not limited to one size of the same design. After editing the magnet of my choosing, the proof came out exactly the way I wanted it to look. I had no doubt that the magnets would look great to send out to my family and friends. I would definitely order from this site again!
Just What I Expected
I am thoroughly happy with my purchase. I was referred to by a friend after looking at many sites. Magnet Street, in my opinion, had the most design options, most layout options, and easiest way to personalize. I was impressed that they confirmed my design I had chosen because I had chose colors for my font that did not necessarily show on my background. I appreciated this "looking out" for me. I also like the invitation package that was prepared for me to get the look and feel of the invites. Will definatly be ordering my invitations from here
Perfect Save the Date magnets
I found multiple designs that I was crazy for. It was very hard to choose my favorite. Once I submitted my design, the next day, a representative emailed me an enhancement to my design that made it way better. It was very helpful. Production and shipping was very fast.
Our save the date magnets just came in the mail yesterday! I could not be happier with how they came out! Great quality and gorgeous. Thank you so much MagnetStreet! We can't wait to send them out!
They were just what we wanted and rather cheap for the great quality!!! They didn't require extra postage when we mailed them so that was as a great plus!

....but where do you start at CV? My wife and I have never been there, and we will be watching a house for a client of ours out that way for a couple of weeks. So we went and checked out the park so that we can play there instead of Seviren Lang when we watch their house for them. I was really surprised at how run down the park was, though they obviously have construction and improvements in the works.
Anyway, there is a sign that says "Disc Golf Course", or something to that affect. There was a circle drive and some parking there, but it wasn't clear (to me) where things kicked off. I saw people coming that direction, and lots of unmarked baskets in the area. Any maps available to the course?

"Driving around the state, you can now see hundreds of projects underway to get people and freight in Virginia moving again," McDonnell said.

The Horizontal Freudian Slip (like its fraternal twin the Vertical Freudian Slip) is an insert that adds eleven extra pockets to your bag to help organize your files and accessories.
The horizontal format of the Horizontal Freudian Slip means it fits great inside many of our briefcases, travel bags, laptop bags, and messenger bags. It'll also probably fit inside your current messenger bag or briefcase (compare the external dimensions of the Horizontal Freudian Slip — 14.8" x 11.8" .50" — to those of your current bag).
One side of the Horizontal Freudian Slip features two pockets with an asymmetrical design, each capable of fitting up to a .5" thickness of files or papers. These pockets fit both A4 and U.S. Standard papers/file folders.
The other side of the Horizontal Freudian Slip has two zippered pockets. One pocket is 8" x 3.5" and the other is 5" x 4": both can fit a wide range of accessories, from pens to cables to power supplies. These pockets zip shut with #5 YKK coil zippers with plastic sliders, chosen for this application because they are less likely to scratch sensitive electronic gizmos. Below the zippered pockets are a series of open-top organizer pockets: one business card pocket, four pen pockets, one iPhone or cell phone sized pocket, and one larger pocket perfect for many power supplies.
The Horizontal Freudian Slip is made with an exterior of 500 denier Cordura®; the pockets are lined with our ultralight Japanese 200 denier Dyneema®/nylon ripstop fabric. A medium density cross-link polyethylene foam is what helps the Horizontal Freudian Slip retain its shape over the many years you'll use it.
A handy loop on the top of the Horizontal Freudian Slip makes it easy to pull it out of your bag and also gives you the option of hanging the Horizontal Freudian Slip on a doorknob or on the wall.

Stoneman Added to Women's Soccer Staff for 2012 Campaign
July 27, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University women's soccer Head Coach Elijah Denton announced the hiring of Rich Stoneman as the new assistant coach with Lady Falcon soccer. Stoneman has spent the past three seasons at East Carolina University, where he was the assistant coach in charge of goalkeepers.

During his tenure, he coached goalkeeper Amber Campbell, who was the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year, second team All-Southeast Region and first team All-Conference selection in 2008. He also worked with defender Madison Keller, who spent part of the 2009 season with the Washington Freedom of the Women's Professional Soccer League. In his time at ECU, the combined goals-against average was less than a goal a game in the 60 contests.
Prior to his time at ECU, Stoneman spent three years at Louisiana Tech as an assistant coach. While at Louisiana Tech, Stoneman helped the program achieve national rankings of third in scoring offense and 17th in shutout percentage. In addition, he was responsible for recruiting Emily Cleaveland, the Louisiana Sportswriters Association Freshman of the Year in 2005, and coordinating all aspects of Louisiana Tech's recruiting efforts.
Prior to Louisiana Tech, Stoneman spent a year coaching the Dallas Texans Club Team and with in the North Texas Olympic Development Teams. In 2001-02, he joined the Baylor women's soccer program and further broadened his experience under Head Coach Nick Cowell. At Baylor, Stoneman was in charge of scouting, video analysis, enhancing the Bears' recruiting base and practice sessions. He worked closely with and coached Mexican National Team goalkeeper Monica Housden.
Stoneman enjoyed a successful playing career at Oklahoma Christian University from 1996-98, where he led the team to two Sooner Athletic Conference titles. He also played with the Oklahoma City Slickers and OKC Spirit of the USISL. Stoneman was then selected by Dallas FC (the then-Dallas Burn) in the supplemental draft pick on account of his participation in the MLS Combine and subsequently took a spot on the Kansas City Wizards reserve team.
Stoneman holds impressive credentials, such as a National Soccer Coaches Association of America Level II Goalkeeping Diploma, an Advanced National Diploma, a National B License from the United States Soccer Federation, a National A License from the USSF, an English F.A. Premier Badge and a NSCAA Premier Diploma. He also participated in an internship for U.S. Soccer, observing training camps and sessions for the United States National Teams.

October 23, 2013
The Mingo County fiasco continues as new revelations, more rumors and potential scenarios make their way around the county, region and state.
As I mentioned early on, it was difficult to see how Prosecuting Attorney C. Michael Sparks was going to escape the clutches of the Federal government, particularly when he began his "explaining" his actions. Sparks is one of those who would have been much better off to keep his mouth shut and let folks think him a fool (or crook) than open it and remove all doubt.
The latest "line" on politicos is that the Feds are not done with the County Commission with the conviction and resignation of David Baisden. Although rumors from the beginning have been that there is more to come there, the stories gained momentum and got hotter last week. Time will, of course, tell.
There is also a contention that a well-known bail bondsman will be among those soon-to-be charged, although I am not about to predict anything as a sure bet in this current situation.
* * * * * *
Speaking of betting, one of the theories from day one has been that gambling plays a huge role in all of the shenanigans going on in Williamson and vicinity. Certainly, many believe that politics and elections are deeply involved but gambling is also said to play a huge part.
Last week's revelations about the late Sheriff Eugene Crum add to the interest concerning gambling since that was mentioned in those stories.
If gambling was one of the major undercurrents, who and what is the power-broker in that scenario?
As I quoted someone as saying early on, "just follow the trail of the money." That seems a smarter and smarter idea as we go along.
* * * * * *
The sing printing business belonging to George White also continues to draw more attention in Mingo. It has been well-known for years that White's sign shop is "THE" place to get signs if one is a candidate in Mingo County.
For years, I assumed that was because White supposedly had a great deal of influence with people in politics and having signs printed there would help a candidate gain legitimate votes. As the Feds see it, though, that does not appear to be the case.
White is, of course, cooperating with the authorities so I suspect sometime soon we will know as much — or more — as we want to know about sign printing in Mingo County.
* * * * * *
One item that will keep tongues wagging at the Statehouse during this week's interim meetings is the story of powerful lobbyist Phil Reale.
For those who missed it, Reale was apparently charged last July with soliciting prostitution on Charleston's West Side. In a bizarre set of circumstances, it appears that the citation written for Reale was made out to "Philip Neale." Members of the Charleston Police Department insist the officer who wrote the ticket has a strange way of making a capital "R." Strange indeed because it looks for all the world like an "N."
After that little oddism is considered, reporters then learned that the head of the Prostitution Sting Unit decided to omit Reale's name entirely from the list of those arrested because he was "suicidal." Thus, the Reale charges went three months without being reported by anyone, anywhere.
Once reporters learned that it was former Governor Gaston Capertax's … er, Caperton's Chief of Staff who had been charged, they asked what the special deal was for Reale. The answer came back that the officer wanted to avoid having Reale commit suicide, so he didn't include his name in a press release detailing who had been arrested.
All of this prompted outrage from Charleston Mayor Danny Jones, who has always stressed accountability and visibility in his public conduct. In fact, it is the Mayor himself who has detailed problems encountered by his own son with relation to drug charges. Jones promptly held a press conference to try to figure out what happened with Reale's arrest
One thing for certain emerged. Reale has difficulty with directions.
The lobbyist told the Charleston Daily Mail, with his public relations specialist at his side, that he had been on his way to Berry Hills Country Club when he encountered a female he thought was in distress.
Reale said he decided to play Dudley Doright to the damsel and offer to assist her in her time of need. It was not clear how the perceptive Reale determined the woman was in distress, but that may not be important here.
What is particularly disturbing about Reale's insistence that he was on his way to Berry Hills is that officers encountered him on Charlestons West Side. In fact, there are reports that he was located on Beatrice Street. Beatrice Street, for those who may not know, is a dead-end street that turns off West Washington.
Jones was quick to point out that he felt Reale was taking the "scenic route" to Berry Hills, since the country club is located past SouthRidge Center on Corridor G (United States Route 119). It might also be difficult to figure out why Reale would have been on a dead-end street heading to the country club.
* * * * * *
In another interesting development, the Charleston PD dropped the charges against Reale after he apparently assured the officers and the city attorney that he is getting "treatment" for his "problem." Unless, as one officeholder said to me, his "problem" is that he cannot figure out directions, it is not clear what he is being treated for.
Jones insisted, during his press conference, that the charges will be re-filed, however. At week's end, officials were said to be trying to determine whether to re-charge Reale in municipal or magistrate court.
In a redacted police report, about the only clear information given to the press was that Reale had allegedly asked the prostitute if she was, in fact, a police officer. She said she was not and he offered her $60 for oral sex.
I suppose there is little else I should say about this whole episode, although dozens of colorful comments come to mind. It is safe to say I thought Jones performed well and the CPD has a black eye the size of Alaska. As the Mayor said, "every person who commits a crime will become suicidal if that keeps their names out of the public eye."
Speaking of which … no I didn't say THAT.
* * * * * *
Yes, I know the name of the bail bondsman. So do you.
* * * * * *
Meanwhile, in Logan County, Assessor Rick Grimmett is not exactly buying the story that politics had nothing to do with his wife's failure to win a communications director job with the School Board.
The Assessor offered to show me a text message he says he received from the Superintendent of Schools that pretty much shows politics was involved in the selection process. I will be looking at it this week.
I will say this: I have had nothing but positive dealings with Judge Eric O'Briant and his family in Logan. Actually, I am an admirer of the Judge and his step-son, Logan Basketball Coach Mark Hatcher. So, I am not an unprejudiced observer here.
Still, the purpose of this column is to tell all the truth as we know it. I will continue to look at this situation and comment, if comment is warranted.
* * * * * *
I also have a high opinion of the Assessor, for that matter.
* * * * * *
Mingo's new Prosecutor, unlike her predecessor, may not be going to make many comments to the media that she later regrets. She STILL has not returned my calls a week later.

When looking at the code quality of an application and willing to decide of an action plan, it is sometimes not sufficient to get a snapshot of the quality at a given time. You also need some visibility on the application history to take the right decision.
For example, let's say that you have defined a requirement that each application should have a coverage by unit tests of 60%. And let's say that one of you application has got 50% coverage. Without historical data, you can only conclude that the team does not write sufficient unit tests and that it should become the next focus of attention. But let's now say that a couple of months ago the coverage for this application was 20%... then you would probably conclude that although the requirement is not made yet, the team is doing a very good job and that no special focus needs to be put on unit tests. This is why having access to historical information is important.
Historical information are provided through the Time Machine and the Tendencies.
The Time Machine
The Time Machine is made of two generic widgets that can be instantiated and configured in any dashboard.
Timeline Widget
The Timeline widget provides the capability to display a chart containing historical data of up to 3 metrics. Passing your mouse over the timeline will display the different values.
This widget can be customized:
History Table Widget
The History Table widget provides the capability to display a table with the historical data up to 10 metrics:
This widget can be customized:
Default Dashboard
A default Time Machine dashboard comes out-of-the-box. This is a combination of Timeline and History Table widgets:
What are Tendencies?
The tendencies are arrows that are displayed next to metrics in the dashboards. Those arrows show the trend for the measure.
How to Read Tendencies?
There are five different levels of tendency
Strong increase
Medium increase
Medium decrease
Strong decrease
Black arrows are used to represent tendencies on the quantitative metrics (the ones that does not reflect quality, for example number of lines of code).
Red or green arrows are used to represent tendencies on the qualitative metrics (the ones that reflects quality, for example code coverage). The red is used when the quality decreases, the green when it increases.
How are Tendencies Calculated?
To compute the tendencies, making a simple difference between the last two measures of each metric would not be accurate enough. Therefore a more advanced algorithm is implemented: the least squares method. It is a linear regression analysis that helps removing the noise in order to determine a trend on discrete measures. In other words, all the measure in the last XX days are taken into account, then the set of measures is checked to see if ti makes some sense (by testing the correlation rate), and an estimated slope is computed and displayed using arrows.
It is possible to configure the tendencies by logging in as an administrator and going to Settings > Configuration > General Settings > Differential Views.
- To configure the number of days used to compute tendencies, set the Tendency period property to the desired number of days. Default is 30.
Managing History
Whatever the reason (wrong quality profile, issue with analysis, etc.), it is possible to remove a snapshot to polish the Time Machine widgets. Note that the last snapshot can never be deleted.
At project level, go to Configuration > History.
For every snapshot, it is possible to manually:
- Add, rename or remove a version
- Add, rename or remove an event
House Cleaning
Removing Useless Data
When you ryun a new analysis of your project, some data that were previously availabet will no longer be (for example the source code of the previous analysis, measures at file level, etc.). These data will automatically be removed at the end of a new analysis.
Removing Unnecessary Analyses
This is very useful to frequently analyze a project to see how quality evolves. It is also very useful to be able to see the trends over weeks, months, years. But when you are back in time, you do not really need the same level of details as you would for one week ago. The Database Cleaner aims to delete some rows in the database to save some space and to improve overall performances. Here is its default configuration:
- All data older than 5 years old are deteleted
- For each project:
- only one analysis per month is kept over 1 year
- only one analysis per week is kept over 1 month
- only one analysis per day is kept over 1 day
- All closed issues more than 30 days old are deleted
- History at package/directory level is not kept
These settings can be changed at Settings > Configuration > General Settings > Database Cleaner.

After seasons of poor ratings and several cast members moving on, ABC has finally put the Scrubs TV show to rest.
Scrubs follows hospital life as seen through the eyes of Dr. J.D. Dorian (Zach Braff). He left Sacred Heart last season but returns occasionally to help teach a new crop of med students. Others in the cast include Donald Faison, John C. McGinley, Ken Jenkins, Sarah Chalke, Eliza Coupe, Kerry Bishe, Michael Mosley, and Dave Franco.
Last May, despite poor ratings, ABC decided to try to squeeze one more year out of the veteran sitcom. The reason? ABC also produces Scrubs and stood to make big money on additional episodes in syndication.
The network kicked off season nine late last year and registered a low 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 4.5 million viewers. The numbers dropped even further and ABC decided to burn off most of the remaining episodes in January.
In March, ABC aired the final episode of the season. The network's website promoted it as the "series finale." We contacted a representative for ABC who told us that it was a mistake but nobody was in any rush to change it.
Now, it appears that ABC has finally cancelled Scrubs after nine seasons on the air. With more than 180 episodes, the sitcom won't be coming back.
What do you think? Should Scrubs have returned after last season's Braff send off? Did you like the "med school" setting and characters?

However, we highly recommend that you limit your Quality Profiles to from the SonarQube engine because we believe they are faster, more accurate (fewer false positives and false negatives), and more usable (they have better descriptions, etc). Read this blog post for more details.
By default the Java Ecosystem is provided with SonarQube. You can update it from the Update Center or download the latest release from this page header. Don't forget to check the upgrade notes.
Run a SonarQube Analysis
To run an analysis of your Java project, you can use the following analyzers:
- SonarQube Runner: recommended for all non-Maven projects
- Maven: recommended for all projects built with Maven
- SonarQube Ant Task: to integrate with projects built with Ant
- Gradle: to integrate with projects built with Gradle
Sample projects for each analyzer are available on GitHub that can be browsed or downloaded: /projects/languages/java
- The source directory must be set to the directory containing the top parent package. For example, if your directory structure is src/main/java/com/mycompany/..., the source directory must be set to src/main/java.
- The source directory tree must match the package declaration. For example, the following class:
must be located in the following directory: [mySourceDirectory]/com/mycompany/mypackage/MyClass.java. Otherwise you would get an error like below while running your analysis:
Tests and Code Coverage
The default code coverage engine for unit tests can be set in Settings > General Settings > Java > Code coverage plugin property.
By default the code coverage engine is JaCoCo, but Cobertura or Clover can also be used.
To deal with unit tests and code coverage, see Code Coverage by Unit Tests for Java Project tutorial.
To deal with integration tests and code coverage, see Code Coverage by Integration Tests for Java Project tutorial.
To Go Further
- Java Ecosystem FAQ
- Metric definitions
- Additional plugins are available:
- Android: A sample projects with code coverage computed with Emma is available on GitHub that can be browsed or downloaded: /projects/android
- Architecture: Sonargraph
- Extending Coding Rules using XPath. To navigate the AST, download the SSLR Java Toolkit.
Upgrade Notes
Version 2.0
This version no longer includes the Checkstyle and PMD plugins. Therefore, you should install those two plugins if you're still using some of their rules.
All the valuable rules from PMD and Checkstyle were rewritten based on our own SSLR technology. These rules are now available in the SonarQube repository. Deprecated rules from PMD and Checkstyle are flagged as so and their replacement is stated in the rule description:
See http://www.sonarqube.org/already-158-checkstyle-and-pmd-rules-deprecated-by-sonarqube-java-rules/ for more details.
Version 1.5

That's the ideal, but without some kind of support, be it a community or your wealth, you'll go hungry.
Milarepa survived on nettle, the spiky plant.. The moral being find out what natural foods can be harvested in the area you plan on settling, and plan on moving around a lot.
Don't need to go to Asia to be a hermit!
I personally solved this dilemma of the modern world by moving to a remote dharma center on a West coast island, a place meant for quiet meditation and contemplation (not social networking, gathering and general goofing off - aka some monasteries), with the potential for entering into novicehood if the lifestyle here suits me

Welcome to the Department of Biology
Our department consists of approximately 30 faculty members, several postdoctoral research associates, and four full-time staff members. We are actively engaged in research and education as part of one of the largest biology programs located on the Gulf Coast.
Undergraduate Studies. We are committed to educating future leaders in all aspects of biology. In addition to offering a wide range of courses, we help students gain hands-on experience through research in our labs and internships with local agencies. We have one of the largest undergraduate degree programs at the University, which has grown by 50% over the last decade to over 700 students. Over half of our graduates work in health care, as physicians, dentists and other medical practitioners, as well as in the pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries. Many other students pursue careers in environmental biology, including wildlife and fisheries management, coastal restoration, and environmental protection. Other areas in which our graduates have been successful include animal biology (e.g., veterinarians and research animal managers), secondary and higher education, biotechnology, forensics, and industry. About half of our graduates go on to earn advanced medical or graduate degrees.
Graduate Education and Research. We offer a master's degree in biology and a doctoral degree in environmental and evolutionary biology, with over 70 students currently pursuing graduate degrees. Graduates of our master's program are well prepared to enter the work force as laboratory or environmental scientists or to pursue advanced degrees. Our doctoral graduates are successful in competing for teaching and research positions in universities and institutions around the world. More information about the career paths of our master's and doctoral graduates is available here.
Our faculty and students conduct field research throughout the Americas, including the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, North Atlantic, Panama, and the Amazon Basin. We also work in close collaboration with state and federal partners to expand research and training opportunities for our students. For example, the LUMCON marine laboratory in Cocodrie, Louisiana, provides laboratory facilities, small boats, and large marine vessels in support of research along our coast. The USGS National Wetlands Research Center and the NOAA Estuarine Habitats and Coastal Fisheries Center in the UL Lafayette Research Park provide additional research opportunities. Please explore our web site to learn more about opportunities for research and training with our faculty.

The rookies of NYC 22 won't be honing their police skills on CBS much longer. The network has cancelled the cop series before the entire season has finished airing.
NYC 22 follows a half dozen police men and women as they learn the ropes in the Big Apple. The ensemble cast includes Adam Goldberg, Leelee Sobieski, Stark Sands, Judy Marte, Harold House Moore, Felix Solis, Tom Reed, and Terry Kinney.
Debuting on April 15th, in (now-cancelled) CSI: Miami's former timeslot, NYC 22 attracted a disappointing 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.86 million viewers. The second episode dropped 7% and the third fell 14% more. Last Sunday night's episode maintained a 1.2 in the demo and 6.87 million.
It was clear from the start that this new show was doomed to be cancelled.
The series currently averages a 1.3 rating in the all-important demo with 7.67 million viewers. On our CBS Ratings Report Card, which measures the relative demo performance of TV shows on the network, NYC 22 has an "F" grade. It's the lowest-rated scripted show currently on the network.
The Tiffany network ordered 13 installments of NYC 22 and, for the foreseeable future, they'll continue to air on Sunday nights.
What do you think? Are you going to miss NYC 22? Do you think it should have been renewed for season two?

ABC news channel 5 Cleveland
Northeast Ohio travelers are smiling a little wider these days. Gas prices have dropped throughout the month of December dipping below $3 a gallon for the first time in a year. "Believe me it is the most exciting thing I saw today," said Waheeb Zahriyeh who manages a gas station on Memphis Avenue in Cleveland where gas is selling for $2.98. "Really people coming in and throwing high fives at you," he said. Prices are down around 4.5 percent in December. The average price for a gallon of regular gas in Ohio was $3.14 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That's 21 cents lower than a week ago, and down 35 cents from this time last month.Read more: http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/cleveland_metro/gas-dips-below-3-a-gallon

HOUSTON – July 11, 2012 – CenterPoint Energy's natural gas customers now have an even greater incentive to save energy and the environment through the company's new and increased energy efficiency program offerings.
CenterPoint Energy's programs offer great rebates for the replacement of electric resistance heating systems or heat pumps, water heaters or clothes dryers with qualifying high-efficiency natural gas models.
In 2012, customers can utilize a $2,000 rebate for the replacement of an electric resistance heating system or heat pump with a qualifying high-efficiency natural gas model. A $900 rebate is available for the replacement of an electric water heater with a qualifying high-efficiency natural gas model.
CenterPoint Energy is also introducing a new clothes dryer rebate. The company will offer up to a $500 rebate for the purchase and installation costs of a new natural gas clothes dryer in a single-metered residential home.
"The increased rebates are double, nearly triple, last year's offers. And with the addition of the new clothes dryer rebate, customers switching from electric to natural gas units can dry twice as many clothes for the same cost, in less time," said Walter Bryant, division vice president of regional operations for CenterPoint Energy. "We hope these new and substantially increased rebate amounts make it even easier for customers to make energy-saving improvements. The reduction in energy use not only helps the customer's budget, but the environment as well."
Electric to Gas Rebate Program Details
• Heating System Rebate –CenterPoint Energy offers a $2,000 rebate for the replacement of an electric resistance heating system or heat pump with a qualifying natural gas forced-air or direct-vent wall furnace or a hydronic heating system. High-efficiency natural gas heating systems can save $140 over an air-source heat pump or $560 over an electric resistance heating system annually.
• Water Heater Rebate – CenterPoint Energy offers a $900 rebate for the replacement of an electric water heater with a qualifying natural gas storage tank or tankless model. After a home's air conditioning and heating system, water heating is the second largest energy user and energy expenditure in the home. By replacing an electric water heater with a high-efficiency natural gas model, a household can save up to $225 a year on utility bills.
• Clothes Dryer Rebate - CenterPoint Energy will rebate up to $500 for the purchase and installation costs of a new natural gas dryer in a single-metered residential home. This offer is only available for new construction or replacement of an electric clothes dryer installation.

Kristen Stewart Gossip
Kristen Stewart gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Long weekend Kristen Stewart
Seen at Narita Airport in Japan today catching a flight. She's been in Japan shooting Equals for a few weeks now. I'm posting these photos because there was a conjuring. Check this email I just received from Brigitte: "After seeing the new pictures of Liam Hemsworth, I need Gossip Genie to work its magic and get us a Liam and Kristen Stewart hook up. Full Story
Kristen Stewart: out of the building
This is Kristen Stewart for Vanity Fair France. Love the way they've styled her, particularly the first shot attached, slouching down against the wall, sweater falling off her shoulder, one leg tucked underneath her, the other jutting out seductively. "Seductive" is not an adjective often associated with Stewart…and yet here, in this pose, she wears it well. Full Story
Kristen Stewart's career goals
Kristen Stewart covers the new issue of ELLE. She's representing Chanel. Which is why this shoot is in a grocery store. You'll recall, Karl Lagerfeld presented the Chanel F/W 2014 collection at a venue staged to look like a supermarket. Click here Full Story
Sushi for breakfast
AKM-GSI/ Splash
YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Fried rice for breakfast is really good too. Actually, rice with almost anything is good for breakfast. Rice with raw fish? Definitely. Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult are together in Japan to start work on their film Equals. Someone posted these two shots on Twitter here Full Story
TIFF 2014: Film & Gossip
TIFF announced its first slate of films for this year's festival September 4-14. It's a big ass deal, not only because I live in Toronto and I work for etalk and we cover it top to bottom but because TIFF is where people come to kick off their campaigns. Full Story
Kristen Stewart's dance moves, Anne Hathaway's tears
You know what song I hate? I hate John Legend's All Of Me. And it's everywhere. It's every song on the radio on my drive home from work. They don't play Sia enough. They're trying to make me sick of Sam Smith. So maybe they'll work this song into the rotation. Full Story
Desperately Seeking Kristen Stewart
KCS Presse /Splash News, Pascal Le Segretain /Getty Images, Chris.K /WENN
Desperately Seeking Susan. That was what came to mind when I saw these photos of Kristen Stewart's new look as she arrived at the Chanel haute couture presentation today in Paris. It's a movie Twi-Hards, chill. An 80s movies starring Madonna and Rosanna Arquette. I wish Stewart had taken this cut all the way blonde with dark roots. Full Story
The Huntsman, but no Snow White
In the wake of the Kristen Stewart/Rupert Sanders scandal of 2012, a lot of people wondered what would happen to the Snow White and the Huntsman sequel. Would Sanders be back, would Stewart be back, would neither return? Would Universal decide to skip a proper sequel entirely and just do a spin-off focusing on Chris Hemsworth's huntsman character? There were questions, but few answers. Full Story
Joan Rivers vs Kristen Stewart
Joan Rivers wrote a new book. Have you seen the Joan Rivers documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work? I highly recommend. It's pop culture required viewing. Not only because she's funny and obnoxious and kind of crazy but because it gives you some idea of the HUSTLE of being semi-famous, the struggle that's required just to maintain in Hollywood. Full Story
Holding hands with Juliette Binoche

I love these shots of Juliette Binoche holding hands with Kristen Stewart and Chloe Moretz at the Palais tonight at the premiere of Clouds Of Sils Maria. She's the veteran. She's the boss. She's doing it a lot less provocatively than Madonna with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Full Story
Juliette, Chloe, no Kristen
Pierre Suu/ Neilson Barnard/ Getty
Juliette Binoche and Chloe Moretz were in Cannes today at the photo call for Olivier Assayas's Clouds Of Sils Maria. Have you seen the trailer? It looks great. Binoche plays an actress who has to contend with a younger, bratty one. The relationship mirrors her connection with her assistant, played by Kristen Stewart. Full Story
Kristen Stewart & Dakota Johnson: Bella Swans at the MET Gala
Soul Brother/ Splash, Larry Busacca/ Dimitrios Kambouris/ Getty
Kristen Stewart played Bella Swan in Twilight. E L James imagined herself as Stewart as she masturbated while writing Fifty Shades Of Grey. Now Dakota Johnson is playing E L James's sexual transfer fantasy in the film adaptation. You could say then that when Dakota Johnson is getting tied up and f-cked in the movie, she's taking inspiration from Kristen Stewart getting tied up and f-cked by Robert Pattinson. Full Story
No Brange Cannes…but a Twi-Hard substitute
Though it was widely speculated that Maleficent would show up in Cannes, she was not on the official list that was released today. Is that a definite "NO"? Or are they just waiting for their own moment before dropping the Brange bomb on everyone else's ass? In the absence of Brange, we get instead a showdown between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Full Story
Kristen Stewart's Chanel braids
It was first confirmed in December that Kristen Stewart would be fronting Chanel's Paris-Dallas collection ad campaign. Here are the preview images. Wicked styling, non? And perfectly suited to her. Also MUCH better than the way her initial Balenciaga shots came out, although I wonder if Isabel Marant is looking at this like ummmmm…? Because if you weren't told that it was Chanel, what would your guess have been about the clothes? That's a Karl issue though and not a Kristen one. Full Story
