Thanks for the info.
"Dries Van Noten par Frédéric Malle" is to be released in February.
the Notes which look amazing: (quoted from fragrantica) citron, sandalwood, guaiac wood, saffron, Spanish jasmine, tonka beans, Cashmeran/blonde woods, vanilla and musk.
This sounds interesting: "Not only is the collaboration with a fashion designer news, it's also an innovation on the formula front, as the new Malle perfume is touted to be inclusive of a new, natural Indian sandalwood from a sustainable source. Indian sandalwood, for those who didn't know, had essentially been eradicated from perfumery in the last 20 years or so, due to concerns and regulations on the sustainability of the Mysore sandalwood. The news therefore is a leap of hope for the industry in general and sure to create a real peak of interest in the heart of every perfume fan out there. The new fragrance is an oriental woody, smooth and polished like the designs of Van Noten."
Thanks for the info.
Always love to see guaiac wood in a notes list! This sounds pretty good indeed. Thanks!

Interesting. Wonder what Van Noten knows about perfumery? Perhaps it's a collaboratibe effort with a perfumer.
Fine fragrance is alive; it breathes, unfolds and unravels with each passing hour....

The perfumer is Bruno Jovanovich ... He's unknown to me!
favoured by designers.
Why am I not excited about it
Thanks for the heads-up... I will certainly have to give this one a try
Sounds interesting. Unfortunately my experience with sandalwood is limited (OS, MBI), and I didn't care for OS at all. I'm interested to see what Malle asked the nose to do with it.
Will try to sample when I get a chance.

Thank you. Sounds interesting-looking forward to test this one!!!
Not an oud/guaiac wood fan.
I get nervous about vanilla in perfumes... not exactly the most subtle note. The danger is that the vanilla could overwhelm the sandalwood note that is supposed to be the centerpiece of this perfume.
But if anyone can do it, Malle can, so I'm interested to see how it turns out!
I've always admired Malle's approach to fragrance, and the way that they don't just pop out new frags one after another.
But I do wonder about this one. If it's going to have a fashion designer connection, and it's made by someone who's not a part of Malle's stable, how exactly will the association with Malle fit into the equation ?
Apparently Van Noten had been selling Malle's fragrances in his boutiques for some time, and this is what led to the collaboration. According to Fragrantica, this fragrance is the first of a new line for Malle in which he'll be collaborating with several fashion designers.

"All problems are illusions of the mind."

I smelled it on Saturday. Nice but it didn't blow me away. Very sweet, woody, milky, spicy. Of course, I don't have the most sophisticated nose, but what's left on the card reminds me of M7 but with a bit of cream.
And nothing jumped out at me to scream "real Mysore sandalwood." This is from someone who used to wear the oil daily as a perfume and misses it like crazy.
Thanks Kagey
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
The description sounds amazing.
Judging by Denyse and Kagey's comments still sounding very interesting to me, Mike . . .
I used to wear pure oil in the 70's Kagey, and my nose is pretty finely attuned to mysore. Always on the lookout! I look forward to this regardless because even without any discernible mysore it sounds like my kinda thing, anyway and I doubt Malle would let anything sub-par slip thru, particularly given this is the launch of a diffusion line for him. And I am absolutely sure he wouldn't quote mysore from a sustainable Indian source in the press release if there wasn't at least SOME of the stuff in there somewhere
Several people described Santal Massoia as 'milky' as well - I like that one enough for 'what it is' but personally I think that was a misnomen, even if it does contain the Australian sandalwood - there is absolutely no resemblance IMO and I have compared both EO's over a few days.
Let's see.
I would like to try it, but another tanka/vanilla frag doesn't excite me and I hope it doesn't steal the show.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
A spice (with cinnamon!) sandalwood always perks my ears up. I'm with Mike, a sample that I am looking forward too.

Sniffed it briefly yesterday : lactonic, sweet, with citrus in the opening and a balsam like accord. Anyone expecting a real Mysore sandalwood fragrance will, I fear, be disappointed. Might appeal to fans of P.G.'s Cadjméré.
Ultimately too sweet for my taste.
I was very excited with this new mysore sandalwood but I feel that this fragrance is going to be a huge disappointment to me...
Malle "collaborating" with a fashion designer? This might be the end of the line.
thanks for the head up gandhajala,
a friend also tried this and was left disappointing as well, it lack the uniqueness of the "old" Malle line, and is nothing unusual,
nevertheless, still looking forward to sample this

Thanks... hmm that actually sounds pretty interesting... maybe I'll swing by Malle and give it a try.
hedonist, is it as milky as the Issey Miyake?
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
It's a milky sandalwood with the sweetness of Jeux de Peau, from what I could smell on the card.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
I would call this perfume Dior's Dolce Vita for men. Top notes of citrus with the base of sandalwood.
It's more intellectual than beautiful. Word ,,beautiful" does not suit to this masculine perfume without sillage.
It's not sweet at all, perfectly balanced. Could be a sandalwood prominent scent for a man who does not like woody perfumes.
It has some ,,smoke, burn - milky, nutty" idea from Geranium pour Monsieur or Portrait of a lady.
I am not a big fan of woody scents, though on me it smells very good.
Haven't smelled anything similar to this perfume, some associations could be found with CD Dolce Vita, Costume National Homme, Portrait of a lady, Guerlain Samsara.
Bruno Jovanovic is the future ,,Dominique Ropion".

I'm going to come out now, hands up, and say I'm sorry I sort of dissed this fragrance.
I'm not sure if it's the long, relentless winter we've been having or some weird new change in my taste, but I've been craving warm, woody, spicy, ambery scents in the worst way. I saw Dries Van Noten mentioned in another thread, so I dug out the card I'd sprayed a few weeks back. It still had quite a bit of presence and I thought I'd like to test it.
Went to Les Senteurs on Saturday, got a sample, and wore it that evening out with friends. This time it blew me away. I'm not very good at describing fragrances, but what I noticed was that on a card it was very elegant. Well-blended, elegant, and sophisticated. In this way it reminded me of the best Chanels. Seamless and beautiful, but not necessarily warm or friendly. Aloof. You might appreciate it but you're not moved by it.
On skin, it was a different story entirely. It became warm and friendly. It seemed to embrace me. It became comforting. The notes are still sweet and milky, a bit nutty and spicy. If you put your nose close to your skin after about 20 minutes in, you clearly get the caramelized biscuit smell peeking through. I liked that because, although I'm not a big gourmand lover, I felt like that was the thing that broke through the aloofness and made it more human and playful.
Others have said that the projection is very low and that's true. I kept smelling it wafting up around me, but it didn't project. There's something sheer about it and I think it will work in warm weather. Yet it was really persistent; I could smell it on my arm the next morning, and it lingers on clothes.
Also, I still didn't really detect the Mysore sandalwood (it's a smell I'd know anywhere). I'm ok with that.
Finished the sample today and bought a 100ml bottle. I've either gone completely mad or I've come closer than ever to finding the one perfume that could make me sell up and be faithful. Actually, that's unlikely, but it's close!
Anyhow, sorry for the lame report, but I thought I should correct my unfair earlier assessment.
Looking forward to trying it.
My bottle should be arriving any day now.
I want to investigate this business with IFF and this new Santalum Album source - the Malle rep did not have a deep inside track but it seems IFF own, or have a stake in, plantations outside India and my guess is that Malle, as an ex-IFF employee and now client, was one of the first to access what they are doing with it. The shape of this perfume seems to have been dictated by DvN and has taken the more cosy gourmand route so a sandalwood showpiece it ain't, but it is one of the first to come along in a long time that I have bonded with as a potential personal staple - Vetiver Tonka and L'Heure Fougueuse were the last to have that effect for me . . . but I digress.
I just hope this IFF thing is the beginning of some potential sandalwood 're-reformulations' where the stuff gets put back in a few personal favourites!
I've also been reading a few things recently about industries that depend on "terroir," like coffee and wine, for example, being affected by climate change. I wonder if anyone's considered the possible effects on the quality or availability of sandalwood or other natural perfume ingredients.
And good point about the shape of the perfume and the fact that the design was intentional!

Libya: US ambassador, three others killed in attack
The U.S. ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, and three U.S. officials were killed Tuesday in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi, in eastern Libya, said on Wednesday a senior Interior Ministry official. They were killed in the attack by gunmen who were protesting against a film offensive to the Islam. "The ambassador was killed as well as three other officials," said Deputy Minister of the Interior Wanis al-Sharef. The death of Stevens has been confirmed by a tweet by Libya's-Deputy Prime Minister Mustafa Abu Shagour.
According to reports, armed protesters attacked the consulate in the evening as rockets were fired at the building.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the controversial movie cause is called "Innocence of Muslims" and was directed by Israeli-American, Sam Bacile.
in a statement confirming the death of an officer, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that "some have tried to justify this brutal behavior by presenting it as a response to inflammatory elements distributed on the Internet. " "The United States deplores any deliberate intention to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the origins of our nation," said Clinton. "But," she added, "things are clear: nothing can ever justify acts of this nature."
She also said she had spoken with the President of the Libyan National Assembly Mohamed al-Megaryef, on better ways to protect Americans working in Libya.
Top Headlines
Our foreign policies in Middle East and the Muslim world breed a lot of anti-American hatred that often boils over into bloodshed! The 9/11 is behind us, but revenge has been ongoing since - on both sides!
During the Muammar Ghadhafi reign, the CIA arrested Libyans outside Libya as jihhadist suspects, tortured them, and then turned over to Gadhafi! Those militants and trained youths became leaders of militias that overthrew Gadhafi, like Abdelhakim Belhaj, the rebel commander who captured the Libyan capital Tripoli from Gadhafi forces, and now an elected politician and party leader.
The U.S. help to overthrow Gadhafi did not make Libyans a pro-American brood. They are Arabs, and there is no pro-American Arab in the world -except those autocratic Arabs leaders that depend on the U.S. military back up to suppress their people and stay in power. Anyone who might think "We have helped Libyans liberate themselves, now they are - or should be- our friends is wrong!" They don't think like us, and we are in war with militant Islamists that most Muslims consider as a U.S. war on Islam!
The Arab anti-American hostility started with the creation of Israel in 1948, boiled over with the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, and had been boiling since with the Israeli war in Lebanon in 2006, the Israeli bombing of Gaza in 2008, the Israeli attack on the Food for Gaza flotilla and the killing of 10 Turkish citizens in 2010, and the long U.S. support for the brutal Mubarak and Abdullah Saleh regimes. Add to that the burning of the Koran in Afghanistan, the constant U.S. threat of war against Iran, and now an American movie insulting the prophet Mohammed, and the explosive protests in Libya and Egypt shouldn't be a surprise.

GREENVILLE - Staci Kohn was home with her two children, ages 2 and 5, Wednesday afternoon when her daughter alerted her to a fire in the bedroom. Kohn attempted to put the fire out, but was unsuccessful, and removed her children and herself from the second story apartment at 400 Gray Ave. in Greenville.
"We smoke in our house, but not around our kids," the emotional mother explained. "There was a lighter on the bed, and I was in the kitchen. My daughter came into the kitchen, screaming, saying the bed was on fire. I tried putting it out with a pitcher of water, but it was too late."
Greenville Fire Department's Assistant Chief McDermit advised that the structure fire was under control, and crews were working to extinguish the fire.

(Treblinka, stay out of this - not interested in your opinion on this one.)
I'm gonna let something off my chest here that's been giving me the s**ts for a while. That is: Anti-Semitism. I'm not talking about people who are anti-semetic*. But the notion of Anti-Semitism itself.
For starters, why is it that rasicm is bad, but anti-semitism is so severely depraved, so utterly foul, that it deserves it's own name? The fact that abuse (verbal, physical, emotional etc) against one people is called one name, but abuse against everyone else is called another, seems to me to be, quite frankly, racist.
Secondly, why is it that the "anti-semetism" slogan is only applied if it's racism against jews? Why isn't anti-arab rasicm called anti-semetism? After all, aren't the Arabs a semetic race?
In my view, Racism is Racism, end of argument. Never is it right, and rarely can it be justified (if at all).
Out of curiosity, I'm gonna start a poll on this. What's your thoughts peoples?

SPOKANE-- Spokane Police determined that two recent incidents involving naked men are not related.
On Jan. 6 officers responded to a home in the 3000 block of S. Manito Blvd on a report of a naked man ringing door bells in the area.
Initial reports were that the man s pants were pulled down below his waist as he rang a door bell. Tracks in the snow suggested he may have approached several houses in the area before he left in a car.
Detectives later determined the naked door ringer suspect is a teen male who performed a prank at his friend s house.
In another incident a few days later, police arrested Trevor Franklen for a residential burglary near 2100 W. Riverside. Franklin, a registered sex offender, was caught inside a tenant s apartment with his clothes off.
Franklen was released from jail Tuesday, but detectives re-arrested him Wednesday for the Jan. 8 burglary.
Spokane Police finished their investigation of both incidents and determined they are not related.

This isn't your normal skyline. This motherfcker is the skyline God would drive if he wasn't busy doing God sh*t like making tsunamis and crap. Its set up to go fast, and go fast sideways. Who doesn't like to get sideway?! Terrorists, thats who. Are you a terrorist? No? Then you need this car.
A2 generation ftw

the a2 was my first love- it was light and handled like a go cart... in this shell even the 8v was peppy
the a4- much improved styling over the a3, last generation before they got hella fat, 1.8t- DAT ENGINE!
i have high hopes for the a7 and if they get it right it will be my first new car purchase
A known "hiveminder".
Definitely MKIIIs. They were the last of the cars consistently under 3k LBS. Also, IMO, the last of the cars with a truly connected feel. Not saying they are great drivers cars, because they really aren't, but they do a lot of things well where the MKIV and later cars feel a little "video-gamish" to me where the MKIII and earlier cars are straight analog and a little disconnected.
Also, the interior is simple enough that it aged well and doesn't make you feel like everything in the car should have a sepia hue to it, like the older cars.
Close second is, of course the MKII, but I don't love 16 valves. I'd swap that **** for a VR in NY minute. Then again, those MKIs have been steadily growing on me...
I'm really just here for the pancakes.
I'm Sorry Hachi... I love you.
The MKV front-end styling is it's only drawback. It is a bit awkward, but once you get used to it, it's okay.
I hated the MKV at first, then grew to like it a little more, then bought a 2.5 Jetta, and had such fond memories of it, I eventually got another MKV, this time minus a cylinder and plus a turbo.

Anyone that says the mkiii's should literally be banned from the vortex!!! The right answer is mk2, or anyone other then the mark 3's. You cant be taken seriously if you think the 3rd gen gets your vote; go punch yourself in throat for me. I dont know any of you that are representing mk3 as the best gti, but i bet you also like your cars with 2 pedals.
MkV for me. Body style and interior feels nice to be inside.

Having owned mk1,mk4,and mk5 mk1 without a doubt.
The other two were good cars, and I love driving my mk5 every day but it just doesn't compare.
MK3 is my favorite. Has just enough modern creature comforts, but still light and simple enough to throw around and work on.
Close second is the MK1, classic styling, still looks beautiful. MK6 is a sharp looking example with all of the power and comfort of the MK5.
Honestly, I'd take a sedan over te rest of the Gen's. MK4 is bloated and honestly not attractive saving R32. MK5 looks too "anime" to me, and also all I ever see is bagged out, "stanced" MK5 junk. Mk2 looks like an overweight MK1, and thus does not hold a candle to MK1. (IMHO of course)

The Mk 2 was tiny by today's standards, and slow. Especially the first two years felt really nice to drive. In absolute terms, I'm sure a current Yaris could take the Mk 2.
Why my favorite? It's a simple, honest car from a bygone age.

MK3 GTI. I love the front and rear end. The dash still holds up against anything on the road. The massive cupholders (seat adjusters).
I'd drive anything Mk1, 2, 3 and 5. I think the Mk4 front end looks awesome with the RS bumper but there's nothing you can do to fix that god awful rear end.
You can pretty much take ALL the MK4,6,7 and throw them right in the toilet. Especially 6 & 7 (minus the JSW).

1/F Baseband Noise Suppression in Ofdm Using Kalman Filter
Date: May 2012
Creator: Rodda, Lasya
Description: As the technology is advances the reduced size of hardware gives rise to an additive 1/f baseband noise. This additive 1/f noise is a system noise generated due to miniaturization of hardware and affects the lower frequencies. Though 1/f noise does not show much effect in wide band channels because of its nature to affect only certain frequencies, 1/f noise becomes a prominent in OFDM communication systems where narrow band channels are used. in this thesis, I study the effects of 1/f noise on the OFDM systems and implement algorithms for estimation and suppression of the noise using Kalman filter. Suppression of the noise is achieved by subtracting the estimated noise from the received noise. I show that the performance of the system is considerably improved by applying the 1/f noise suppression.

An 8-step program: Shaping and fixed-time food delivery effects on several approximations and undesired responses in goats.
Date: May 2003
Creator: Fernandez, Eduardo J.
Description: This study investigated the effects of a shaping program for halter training across 8 steps in the program and 4 trial-terminating, or "undesirable," responses. Three La Mancha goats (Capra hircus) located at the Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville, Texas were used for the study. A fixed-time 15 s (FT-15 s) was used during the baseline conditions, to examine the effects of response contingent and response-independent food deliveries, as well as to examine what preliminary steps might not necessarily have to be shaped. All 3 goats successfully learned to allow the halter to be placed on them and to lead on the halter, although 2 of the 3 goats required an additional task analysis for the fifth step to further break down that approximation. Several of the early steps selected by the researchers were not necessary to complete the program, as determined by the baseline condition.

161 Glass: Site Specific Music in an Artistic Context
Date: May 2010
Creator: Rusnak, Christina S.
Description: The composition 161 Glass is a 17-minute musical work with percussion, wind and brass instruments in which the intersection of mid-century architecture, and the art and culture of a dynamic city are inextricably linked. Through this paper, I explore the process of composing a musical work in relationship to the significance of site specific context. The paper begins by defining the concept of site specific art works; then reviews the discourse of the intersection of art, music and architecture. I then delve into the cultural and geographic context surrounding this project from the modern era through the present, and how those perspectives apply to the building and my piece. I reveal how the composition relates the musical ideas to the site. Finally, I describe the collaborative process between myself, the musicians and the Dallas Contemporary staff.

Description: Electrocardiography (ECG) signal transmitter is the device used to transmit the electrical signals of the heart to the remote machine. These electrical signals are ECG signals caused due to electrical activities in the heart. ECG signals have very low amplitude and frequency; hence amplification of the signals is needed to strengthen the signal. Conversion of the amplified signal into digital information and transmitting that information without losing any data is the key. This information is further used in monitoring the heart.

Types of Paint for Masonry
Cement paint and other masonry coatings come in a range of types and, in many cases, a relatively narrow range of colors. Each formulation is designed with specific performance characteristics. Exterior wall paints are available in both water-base and oil-base versions. For many applications, a premium, 100-percent acrylic masonry paint is recommended. If you're painting a poured concrete or block basement wall, you might want a waterproofing paint that resists moisture penetration from the outside. Elastomeric paint is often recommended for masonry walls that have a lot of hairline cracks and porous surfaces. It goes on thick and is highly flexible and does of good job covering pinholes and other imperfections.
The ideal paint for garage floors is epoxy paint (see below). For every other type of surface, your best bet is to talk with knowledgeable staff at a few good paint stores. They can steer you toward the right products for your material and application.

By even the sophisticated standards of Napa Valley, Claus Janzen is a most unique asset to the valley's wine community.
Born in Germany, Claus and his family moved to Canada in his infancy. Claus attended school in Canada and immediately after college moved to Switzerland where he worked in a number of high caliber hotels. During his stint as an hotelier, Claus became interested in wines, and in particular the great Burgundies and Rhones of France.
After moving back to Canada, he eventually received the equivalent of a master's degree in business. Next, Janzen entered the family real estate business in Winnipeg, where he spent a number of years. The city asserted itself as a perfect setting for Janzen's continuing interest in wines and great food. His experience in Europe and his natural palate made him a serious oenophile and eventually the top wine taster throughout all of Canada.
During all this time, Janzen continued his periodic visits back to Europe and to his favorite wine regions in France. He became particularly enamored with developments in Southeastern France where a close friend had produced the first Cabernet Sauvignon/ Syrah blend that was to astound wine critics everywhere and have an important affect on Claus Janzen's upcoming wine career.
Sometime in the mid to late `1980's, Janzen and his family were introduced to Napa Valley. Napa compared favorably to the bucolic French countryside the Janzen's loved and the decision was made to move to Napa. Janzen was soon introduced to Caymus Vineyards' owner Chuck Wagner, and a marvelous friendship quickly ensued.
"I was invited to be able to take part in the 1988 harvest at Caymus," explained Janzen, "but, I must say it was absolutely the hardest work I had ever experienced. I had been around a number of harvests in France, but actually working one made it all come together."
Janzen credits Wagner and his late father Charlie Wagner with providing him in 1994 with the opportunity to establish him in the wine industry. Wagner offered Janzen a job in helping to launch Caymus' international marketing and reputation. Janzen quickly agreed and spent the next eleven years in Caymus' employ.
About a year into the working relationship, Chuck Wagner asked Janzen what he wanted to do with his life. When Janzen implied he wanted to start a winery, Chuck Wagner was eager to help his friend as long as the new entity didn't compete directly with Caymus.
"We actually took some Sangiovese that had been blended with Petit Syrah and started the process," Janzen added. "When I also added some additional Cabernet Sauvignon in a manner that was similar to what I had seen in France, the actual groundwork for the first Bacio Divino wines was laid."
Utilizing his marketing skills, Janzen opted for an Italian name with a cache that he felt would ensure acceptance. Bacio Divino is literally "Divine Kiss" in Italian; a synonym for the experience the blend of grapes has on the palate of anyone tasting the wine.
Bacio Divino Cellars began with only 800 cases for its initial release in 1993, and the number has grown only minutely to its present level of around 2000 cases. Once more, Claus Janzen has no intention of increasing production.
"I am completely satisfied with the static level our winery enjoys at present," he stated. "At this present level I can completely control everything I need to insure complete quality. And, after all, isn't that the most important aspect any winemaker can demand?"
Bacio Divino owns a ten-acre parcel in Henry Canyon and also buys a relatively large amount of grapes from another fifteen or so growers dispersed throughout Napa Valley. This accessibility to a wide selection of grapes and differing soils and climates allows Janzen to pick and choose the fruit he wants to utilize for his wines.
Janzen also credits another Napa Valley icon Bill Smith, former owner of La Jota Vineyards and Winery with being instrumental in his early winemaking decisions. "Whenever I had a question as to good or bad, Bill was there to help," finalized Janzen.
Janzen and his wife Diane are celebrating the eleventh anniversary of Bacio Divino Cellars with continued critical accolades and marvelous ratings by the wine community.

|Introduction | Canon PowerShot SX50 HS sensor performance | Canon PowerShot SX50 HS versus competition | Conclusion
Remarkably, given the price and the list of specifications, the SX50 HS scores well among its peers.
Among the category of compact and high-end compact cameras with sub 4:3 sensors this Canon rates 10th in DxOMark's testing. There are a couple of cheaper cameras higher up the scale, the Canon Powershot S95 and S100, but neither of these has anything like the range of zoom capability. The overall score of 47 is good. Color depth, shown by the Portrait Score and Dynamic range shown in the Landscape Score are also pretty good. Low light ISO is not great, 179 ISO is a long way behind the best in class, but it is a similar figure to most of this type of camera.
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.
To website
For photographers who just can't get enough telephoto power, there's the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS HS. This camera packs a whopping 50X, 24 - 1200mm lens, which is more than you'll find on any other super zoom on the market (at least for now). While having all that telephoto power sounds appealing, keep in mind that you'll need to either use a tripod or crank up the ISO a bit in order to get a sharp photo at full telephoto, and of course the latter comes with a penalty in image quality. The SX50 HS has received a nice face-lift since last year's PowerShot SX40, with good control placement and solid build quality. The only thing I don't really like is the rear dial, which is flush with the four-way controller and difficult to turn. I think this camera would also benefit from having a side-mounted zoom controller, which you'll find on some of its competitors.

Great sensor but the max. aperture of the lens...
This would be a fantastic bridge camera if the optics were faster. Max. aperture "only" f/3.4 @24mm - f/6.5 @1200mm.
Assuming the max. aperture grows linearly when zooming in, you get f/5 @600mm. Panasonic FZ200 has f/2.8 @ 600mm! This means 2 2/3 EV advantage, in other words shooting FZ200 @600mm f/2.8 & ISO400 would mean @600mm SX50 f/5 & around ISO 1300! That high ISO will destroy the image badly.
Of course, you cannot enjoy the long end of the zoom 600mm - 1200mm with FZ200...

Re: Great sensor but the max. aperture of the lens...
Well, the f2.8 of the FZ200 sounds better than it is in reality.
Compare to the SX50, the noise performence of the FZ200 is much worse.
For example, when you zoom to 600mm with the FZ200 in F2.8 iso100
and you have.. lets say a shutterspeed of 1/120s ...
you just can put the SX50 in ISO400 easily and still have the same noise performence as the FZ200.
The very good noise performence of the SX50 compare to the FZ200 is kind of
an equalizer to the constant aperture of the FZ200.
The SX50 delivers a better imagequality in general. i would say the best of all
bridge/megazooms so far.
in addition.. iso1600 is still very good usable on the SX50(especially in raw).. on the FZ200 its total crap.

Driver Who Hit and Killed Alan Deane to Be SentencedNovember 8, 2012 at 2:09 pm | Posted in Bike News, Get Involved | 16 Comments
On September 22, 2011, Alan Deane was struck and killed by Sidrath Misra in Pasadena. Misra turned left in front of Deane at the intersection of Colorado Blvd. and Terrace Dr. as Deane was traveling east on Colorado. It was Alan's 61st birthday that day and it's believed he was on his way to a forum being hosted by radio station KPCC, where Alan was regular attendee and considered a member of KPCC's extended family. Alan was a talented musician and a gregarious, inquisitive individual known and loved by many. He was a volunteer for the LACBC and helped with many of our projects including the Safe & Healthy Streets initiative in Glendale. Alan didn't like driving and chose to travel by bicycle most of the time.
We're told by Alan's family that Misra is to be sentenced on November 13th for Alan's death. The Deputy Prosecutor's office initially filed a vehicular manslaughter charge, but has since arranged a plea bargain with Misra which is expected to include a lesser charge of Reckless Driving. The penalties are expected to be community service and some sort of fine. The hearing to be held on November 13th is to confirm or modify the sentence.
Alan's family would prefer harsher penalties for Misra. We'd like to see harsher penalties as well. At the least, the revocation or suspension of Misra's driver's license should be a key feature of the sentence. Driving is a privilege, not a right and penalties for drivers who kill bicyclists in a case like Alan's should include the revocation or suspension of the driving privilege. The hearing will be public. We encourage anyone who can to attend the sentencing hearing to show support for Alan's family and to demonstrate with your presence that we care and want to see justice done. If you go, please bring your bicycle helmet into the courtroom so the judge, prosecutors, and Misra will know the bicycling community is present.
The sentencing hearing will be at the following location and time:
When: Tuesday, November 13; 1:30 PM
Where: Los Angeles Superior Court – 300 East Walnut, Dept. N, Pasadena
Judge Steven Monette presiding.
UPDATE: We are also organizing a short bike ride in support of Alan Deane's family to the court house. Meet us at 12:30 PM at the southwest corner of Colorado Blvd. and Terrace Dr. in Pasadena, and this ride will travel one mile to the Los Angeles Superior Court at 300 East Walnut in Pasadena for the sentencing. See the Facebook Event for more details.

Wait.. Wasn't this a Hit and run case to start? How can that be plea bargained?

I have been corrected. It wasn't.

I thought it was a hit and run too…. I didnt even realize this was a call to action till the last paragraph… When will the LA bike community get angry and demand justice?

The incident happened at 6:13PM…no alcohol reported from either side. The driver did remain at the scene.
Comment by Alice Strong— November 12, 2012 #
I'd like to point out that Alan was riding his bike on the sidewalk when he entered the intersection. (There's a good reason adult cyclists should ride in the street following the rules of traffic, and that we teach children to walk their bikes through intersections when riding on sidewalks.) This fact seriously mitigates the culpability of the driver and is the reason he's not being charged with anything more serious. Also, Alan wasn't wearing a helmet.
Comment by Ian— November 13, 2012 #
Unfortunately Ian an incorrect statement reported in the early news coverage placed Alan on the sidewalk when in reality he was riding legally on the street when he was hit. That was verified by footage taken by a security camera located close by.

Yet Jaguar is thinking about removing the XKR-S' urbane coverings and producing a street-legal track version that would drop weight and lap times, according to a report in Car and Driver.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Miami University men's track and field team began preparations for its outdoor season by competing in its first indoor meet of the year Friday at the Buckeye Tune-Up, hosted by Ohio State at French Field House. The RedHawks posted nine top-five finishes at the indoor meet, one of two indoor meets Miami will compete in as allowed by NCAA rules.
Senior Jarrod Eick (Hartville, Ohio) captured the 1000m run in a personal-best 2:29.68 while junior Wade Coffin (Willoughby, Ohio) was right behind in second in 2:30.73, also a personal best. In the 600m run, two RedHawks placed in the top five, led by junior Kevin Brown (Lewis Center, Ohio), who earned runner-up in 1:21.72. Freshman Joey Comisford (Granville, Ohio) crossed in fifth in 1:22.51.
Freshman Peter Stefanski (Aurora, Ill.) had a strong collegiate debut, placing second in the high jump with a clearance of 2.09m/6-10.25. His height equaled Tiffin's Eugene Cannady, who won the event, but Stefanski required an extra attempt to clear the bar. In the pole vault, senior Sam Wildeman (Naperville, Ill.) claimed third, topping 4.72m/15-5.75.
In the long jump, junior Sam Spallinger (Pandora, Ohio) led the way by capturing third with a personal-best leap of 7.27m/23-10.25. Sophomore Sam Chester (Medina, Ohio) was seventh with an indoor personal-best jump of 6.71m/22-0.25 while junior Calen Settles (Cincinnati, Ohio) was right behind in eighth, jumping 6.70m/21-11.75, which marks his personal-best effort.
Redshirt senior Brett Wagner (Toledo, Ohio) had a strong showing in the 3000m run, crossing in fifth in a personal-best 8:32.53. Senior Matt Marol (Evanston, Ill.) was ninth with an indoor personal-best 8:48.16. In the mile run, senior Jack Spilman (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) took ninth, clocking 4:23.84.
In the sprints, junior Jahquil Hargrove (Norristown, Pa.) finished sixth in the 400m dash in 50.19 while classmate Robert Balzano (Poland, Ohio) crossed in eighth in an indoor personal-best 50.61. Chester qualified for the finals of the 60m hurdles, placing seventh in prelims in 8.30 while he finished eighth in the final in 8.25.
Miami grabbed fifth in the 4x400m relay as sophomore Skyler Coburn (La Porte, Ind.) and freshman Adam Bodrick (Columbus, Ohio), along with Balzano and Hargrove, combined to clock 3:23.11. Freshman Jason Bailey (Springboro, Ohio) ran in a pair of sprints, taking 11th in the 200m dash in 23.30 while he was 15th in the 60m dash in 7.15.
In the throws, junior Rob Stein (Villa Park, Ill.) placed 11th in the shot put with a heave of 14.51m/47-7.25.
The RedHawks are back in action Friday, March 1 when they compete in their second and final indoor meet of the season, which is a dual meet with Cincinnati in Columbus on the campus of Capital University. Miami opens outdoor season March 22-23 at the Vanderbilt Black and Gold Invitational.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The Miami University softball team overcame a three-run deficit in the bottom of the seventh to force extra innings, but it eventually fell to Lipscomb, 11-9, in 10 innings. The game was the finale of the Frost Classic. The RedHawks fall to 2-8 on the season, while the Bison improve to 7-6.
Lipscomb struck first with four runs in the top of the third off starter Jenna Modic. Megan Mattera came in to relieve her, but the Bison scored a run in the top of the fifth to make it 5-0.
Mattera helped her own cause in the bottom of the fifth with her first home run of the year, a solo shot over the centerfield wall. After Lipscomb made it 6-1 in the top of the sixth, the RedHawks responded with two more in the bottom half of the frame. Kristy Arbour led off the inning with a walk. Kayla Ledbetter than blasted her third home run of the season to make it 6-3.
With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Hailey Reed singled up the middle. Bree Lipscomb reached on an error by the third baseman, which moved Reed up to second. Kylie McChesney followed with a single through the right side to load the bases. An infield single by Arbour scored Reed and made it 6-4. Ledbetter than singled to right field to score McChesney and Lipscomb. After Tiyona Marshall singled to move Ledbetter up to second base, a double play by the Bison sent the game into extra innings.
Each of the extra innings was played under International Tiebreaker rules, which meant the frame started with a runner on second base. Lipscomb scored their runner in the top of the eighth. In the bottom of the frame, Shanyn McIntyre was placed on second to start things off. Larrabee sacrifice bunted her over to third. A single up the middle by Mattera would score her and keep the game going.
In the ninth, the Bison once again scored their placed runner to take a 9-8 advantage. In the bottom of the inning, McChesney sacrifice bunted Lipscomb to third base. Arbour walked and then stole second to place the winning run in scoring position. Ledbetter popped up to second for the second out. Marshall hit a single to leftfield that scored Lipscomb easily. Arbour also attempted to score on the play, but the relay got her at the plate and sent the game to a 10th inning.
In the 10th inning, the Bison used a double and a triple to plate three runs and take an 11-8 lead. The RedHawks would get one back in the bottom of the frame when a sacrifice fly by Allie Larrabee scored Marshall, but they would be unable to complete another comeback as they fell, 11-9.
Ledbetter finished the game 2-for-5 with four RBI and one run scored. Mattera was 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run scored.
Miami will take next week off before traveling to Louisville, March 8-10, to participate in the Red and Black Tournament.

man, the night was the 1st song evr heard,that i new of, that was played by distubred, its the reason i love disturbed, so the night, duh
the night all the way
I love both these songs, but The Night wins if I have to pick one.
the night hands down!
€8 The Night 8€
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! YOU'LL NEVER MAKE ME CHOOSE *runs away like maniac*
.::. bLOOD Stained Silence .::.
The night definitley.. thats the first song i listen to when i wanna head-bang. deciever is an awsome song too, but stil the night is better
I like The Night better. Deceiver is a great song too, but I prefer The Night.
I looooove The Night!! This was the first song i couldnt stop listening to when i first got the album. Deciever is great too, but The Night definatly tops it
the night all the way :) but both of them are good :)
I like The Night but Deciever is pretty good too :D
It has to be The Night, I mean how can you not love that solo?
The Night is one of the most strange and powerful songs I've heard... Don't know what you guys did to make it like that, but its an insanely good song...
love both songs but i prefer deceiver over the night
Hi ^^
Deceiver is good, too, but the night is much better :D <3
DISTURBED <3 PLS make a concert in germany *_* <3<3<3
the night all the way
I'm definitely thinking The Night. But that's just me. And almost everyone else on here.
the night all the way....
Can you feel that? ahhhhh shit owahahaha
The Night is the best song by Disturbed!!!
I prefer "The knight". The song is compiled with full of dark guitar tones and brooding vocal melodies which I like the most. Also it has one of the best solos that Donegan has ever done.
Super bowl tickets
Ever since i got the album i have, practically non-stop, listened to both songs almost religiously. I do have to say that as i write this comment, i hear the song The Night. I pick, The Night, because...well.... I'm not gonna deny the saviour in front of my eyes, and the best thing to do is just give in to the night.
(i do realize this post is well past due)
Tough choice. Both are epic. I'd say The Night though.
For sure ive been listening to it everyday in my Cisco class at my highschool.
But then again Disturbed is all i listen to (<-----------Loser much)
anyways all disturbed songs are the best
I thinnk there both very good songs but the night just sounds way better
both songs are really good.. but i think the night wins. it has more of an almost anthem-like sound to it. plus it is just insane

Vogue Italia, November 2012
Hair by Oribe
Photographer: Steven Meisel
Oribe gave Kate Upton a strong and glamorous style for her first appearance on the cover of Vogue Italia. She looks really decadent and grown up, Oribe said. The shot really captures her in a beautiful way. The Steven Meisel shoot took place in the Marilyn Monroe suite at New York Citys Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, giving it an automatic air of Old Hollywood seduction.
1. Prep hair with Supershine Light and power dry.
2. Do a traditional set using Soft Lacquer and a 1-inch curling iron.
3. Brush out the curls.
4. Spray Dry at the root for fullness.
5. Use Smooth Style Serum to do any detailing in the front and accentuate waves.
6. Finish with Shine to give added luster to bleached blonde hair.

What Makes Commercial Web Pages Popular? An Empirical Investigation of Web Page Effectiveness
1998, European Journal of Marketing
Utpal M. Dholakia, Lopo L. Rego
There are two main objectives of the paper. First, in a systematic and statistically rigorous manner, we attempt to descriptively document the types and nature of marketing information on commercial home-pages, with a view to identifying the major objectives of a contemporary commercial Web sites that pre-dominate the Web. Using Resnik and Stern's "information content" paradigm, we evaluate the informativeness of commercial home pages. Second, we attempt to empirically examine various important factors of commercial home-pages that lead to increased visits, or hit-rates. The identification of hit-rate determinants is likely to be of great value, both to Web page designers and to the many small and large firms seeking to establish their presence on the Web.

Midwest Living Review
Musicians, musical fans and historians will find much to love at this gem, located on the campus of University of South Dakota. The museum focuses specifically on instruments, and thousands are on display here. Galleries are somewhat thematic: One features musical instruments from Africa, Asia and the Pacific Islands; another is devoted to harmonicas; a third explores 19th-century organs. "Great American Guitars" features examples of Fenders and Gibsons, plus a re-creation of a guitar workshop. The "Genius of North Italian Stringed Instrument Making" features several original Stradivarius instruments. The museum also displays guitars signed by famous musicians, including B.B. King and Michael Jackson. Included with admission is the rental of an audio tour, loaded on a handheld MP3 player. The recordings cover the history of each instrument, plus sound clips of many of the being played. It's a wonderful touch: The sound quality is excellent and the clips add depth to the galleries. It took us about two hours to explore the museum, just as casual visitors. Instrument aficionados could easily pass a long afternoon or day taking in the galleries. Admission charged.

Call it black blindness.
It is a kind of myopia that afflicts some of us — too many of us — whenever we gaze upon a dark-skinned man. It causes some of us — too many of us — to see things that are not there, and to miss things that are. Sometimes, it is fatal.
Such was the case for Amadou Diallo, the African immigrant who died in a hailstorm of gunfire in 1999 after police mistook his wallet for a gun.
We cannot yet know if black blindness was the cause of death for Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old black kid who was killed the night after Thanksgiving. But there is reason to suspect it was.
The altercation began with an argument in a gas station in
"There is no racial motivation here whatsoever," she told The New York Times. But even if you buy that, Dunn's story still has holes in it you could drive a shot-up SUV through.
Consider: someone's got a gun trained on you, about to shoot, yet you have time to reach for your glove box, open it, unholster your own weapon and bring it up? Not even Little Joe Cartwright was that fast on the draw.
Then there's the fact that afterward, Dunn and his girlfriend went to a hotel. You've been threatened, you had to shoot to save your life . . . and you go to a hotel? You don't alert authorities about this SUV full of dangerous kids roaming the streets?
Dunn, says Lemonidis, did not realize he had killed
So Dunn's story is shaky without the overlay of race.
With it, with the obvious comparisons to the killing of Trayvon Martin, one can only wonder if black blindness has not claimed yet another victim. That is a danger all over the country, but particularly in Florida, whose misbegotten Stand Your Ground law essentially licenses any citizen to use deadly force against any other citizen so long as the first citizen claims he or she felt threatened.
Sure enough, Lemonidis is considering just such a defense for her client.
The frightening thing, if you are a young African-American man, is that you know nothing makes some folks feel more "threatened" than you. Nor do you threaten by doing. You threaten by being. You threaten by existing. Such is the invidious result of four centuries of propaganda in which every form of malfeasance, bestiality and criminality is blamed on you.
In such an environment
And until or unless there is a definitive answer, they — we — must ponder with heartsick urgency one simple question:
What did Michael Dunn really see? And why?
Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald, 1 Herald Plaza,

A few weeks ago, just before that now-infamous 68-50 loss to Georgia Tech, North Carolina put out a poster hyping running back Giovani Bernard as a candidate for several major college football awards — including the Heisman Trophy.
It was a good idea considering Bernard's gaudy stats, even if the effort came a little too late to help promote his cause for this year's honors.
But if we learned nothing else from the recently completed Presidential election cycle, it's never too early to start a campaign.
So chalk the poster up as the first salvo in what promises to be a vigorous public relations blitz in 2013.
That is, assuming Bernard is still a Tar Heel in 2013.
As a redshirt sophomore three years removed from his high school graduation, the UNC star is eligible for entry into next spring's NFL draft. Though he stands to improve his stock considerably by coming back, not to mention putting himself into legitimate contention for some
prestigious hardware, he'd be crazy not to go.
To pass on the opportunity now would be like a PowerBall winner turning down a $50 million prize because the jackpot figures to increase to $100 million for next week's drawing.
It just doesn't happen. The risk far outweighs the reward.
As we've seen all too often over the years, there's no riskier proposition in any sport than playing running back at the highest levels of football.
Just ask Marcus Lattimore.
The South Carolina star, who missed most of 2011 with a serious knee injury, was making a Heisman push of his own this season until his right leg was nearly torn off by a Tennessee defender in a freak injury that has left his football future in doubt.
Bernard, like Lattimore, is a workhorse of a back. He carried the ball 184 times for 1,228 yards, caught 47 passes for another 490 yards and returned 16 punts for 263 yards and a pair of long touchdowns.
That's 247 touches in all – a number that would have been even higher had Bernard not missed 2½ games with some soreness in his knee. Considering that Bernard is comparatively small at 5-foot-10, 205 pounds and that he's already been through one major ACL surgery, the potential for disaster exists with every snap of the ball.
Bernard is rated by CBSSports.com and others as the top running back in this year's draft if he decides to come out and a potential late-first, early-second round pick. Even if he slips to the third round, which is highly unlikely barring a poor performance at the combine, he'd still pull in a contract worth at least $1-2 million guaranteed.
So why go back to school and put yourself in harm's way for free when somebody is willing to pay you – and pay you handsomely – to do it in the NFL?
That's one of the questions that will likely come up when UNC coach Larry Fedora and others counsel Bernard and his family to make sure they have, in the words of his coach, "as much information as possible so they can make a good, educated decision."
Of course, emotion will likely come into play as well, as quarterback Bryn Renner noted following the Tar Heels' season-ending win against Maryland.
"We're roommates, so I figure to have a good word in his ear," Renner said. "Hopefully he comes back, (but) I can't make the decision for him. He's got to do the best for himself."
It's a topic Bernard went out of his way to avoid discussing during the course of the season. He's managed to keep an even lower profile since his team's final game two weeks ago.
Ultimately, the young thoroughbred's decision will boil down to one simple choice: Does he want to go for the guaranteed gold next season or is he willing to roll the dice for the chance at a bronze trophy?
Either way, he'll have a nice-looking poster to keep as a souvenir.
