The Met's unforgettable production of Verdi's ancient Egyptian drama stars Liudmyla Monastyrska as the enslaved Ethiopian princess caught in a love triangle with the heroic Radamès and the proud Egyptian princess Amneris.
This mythical story of a sorceress who enthralls men in her island prison has inspired operatic settings by a multitude of composers. Tony Award winner Mary Zimmerman returns to direct this new production of a work she describes as "a buried treasure, a box of jewels." The fanciful and magical tale, Zimmerman says, "has an epic, enchanted quality and a tremendous visual element."
Puccini's moving story of young love is the most performed opera in Met history—and with good reason. Anita Hartig stars as the frail Mimì in Franco Zeffirelli's classic production, with Vittorio Grigolo as her passionate lover, Rodolfo.
One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen "is about sex, violence, and racism—and its corollary: freedom," says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre about his production of Bizet's drama. "It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It's sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking."
A peerless pair of Rossini virtuosos joins forces in La Cenerentola—a vocal tour de force for mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, singing her first Met performances of the Cinderella title role, and the high-flying tenor Juan Diego Flórez, as her Prince Charming. Alessandro Corbelli and Luca Pisaroni complete the cast, with Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi leading the effervescent score.
Rossini's vocally dazzling comedy stars bel canto sensation Juan Diego Flórez in the title role of this Met premiere production. Director Bartlett Sher describes the world of the opera as, "a place where love is dangerous. People get hurt. That can be very funny and very painful. Rossini captures both—with the most beautiful love music Rossini ever wrote."
Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher (South Pacific) directs this new production, returning after the triumph of his Met Barber of Seville. Offenbach's fictionalized take on the life and loves of the German Romantic writer E.T.A. Hoffmann is a fascinating psychological journey.
John Adams's contemporary masterpiece exploring a momentous episode of modern history: the creation of the atomic bomb. Directed by Penny Woolcook.
Director Nicholas Hytner makes his Met debut with this new production of Verdi's profound, beautiful, and most ambitious opera. "I think Don Carlo is the quintessential Verdi opera," Hytner says. "Right through this opera there is, on the one hand, an implacable expression of impending doom and, on the other hand, a succession of the most gloriously open-throated arias, the most fantastically determined music."
Mariusz Kwiecien brings his youthful and sensual interpretation of Mozart's timeless anti-hero to the Met for the first time, under the direction of Tony Award®-winning director Michael Grandage and with Fabio Luisi conducting. Also starring Marina Rebeka, Barbara Frittoli, Ramón Vargas, and Luca Pisaroni.
Anna Netrebko and Matthew Polenzani star in Bartlett Sher's new production of one of the greatest comic gems in opera, as the fickle Adina and her besotted Nemorino. Mariusz Kwiecien is the blustery sergeant Belcore and Ambrogio Maestri is Dulcamara, the loveable quack and dispenser of the elixir. Maurizio Benini conducts.
In one extraordinary new work, lovers of Baroque opera have it all: the world's best singers, glorious music of the Baroque masters, and a story drawn from Shakespeare. In The Enchanted Island, the lovers from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream are shipwrecked on his other-worldly island of The Tempest. Inspired by the musical pastiches and masques of the 18th century, the work showcases arias and ensembles by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and others, and a new libretto devised and written by Jeremy Sams.
An undisputed master of Verdi's final comic masterpiece, James Levine conducts Robert Carsen's acclaimed production, the first new Met Falstaff since 1964. Ambrogio Maestri sings the role of the blustery Sir John Falstaff, opposite a marvelous ensemble cast.
Puccini's wild-west opera had its world premiere in 1910 at the Met. Now, on the occasion of its centennial, all-American diva Deborah Voigt sings the title role of the "girl of the golden west," starring opposite Marcello Giordani.
With Jonas Kaufmann in the title role, René Pape as the devil, and Marina Poplavskaya as Marguerite, Gounod's classic retelling of the Faust legend couldn't be better served. Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff updates the story to the first half of the 20th century with a production that won praise in London last season.
Experience the "exceedingly yummy operatic cake" that was called "the operatic show of the season" by The Times of London when it opened at Covent Garden this past winter. Audiences were dazzled by Natalie Dessay's fearless coloratura and impeccable comic timing and by Juan Diego Flórez's remarkable musicality—complete with the famous high Cs.
The opera that conquered London in Handel's time comes to the Met in David McVicar's lively production. The world's leading countertenor, David Daniels, sings the title role opposite Natalie Dessay as Cleopatra. Baroque specialist Harry Bicket conducts.
Haunting, charming, and a little wicked, the Met's production returns as the season's special holiday presentation for families. Miah Persson and Angelika Kirchschlager are the lost siblings. Philip Langridge reprises his outlandish portrayal of the Witch in Humperdinck's take on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Sung in English and conducted by Fabio Luisi.
This production was originally created for Welsh National Opera and Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Anna Netrebko sings the title role of Donizetti's fragile heroine for the first time at the Met, with tenor Rolando Vilazón as her lover in Mary Zimmerman's hit production.
Explore this terrorizing classic featuring Željko Lucic and Maria Guleghina as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in the new production premiere based on Shakespeare's original play.
The riveting singing actress Cristina Gallardo-Domâs returns to the title role of Anthony Minghella's stunning production, a new classic of the Met repertory.
Anna Netrebko's dazzling portrayal of the tragic heroine in Laurent Pelly's new production travels to the Met from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
Finnish phenomenon Karita Mattila adds another landmark role to her Met repertory, the free-spirited beauty Manon Lescaut. The story of the magnetic attraction between two young lovers is the perfect vehicle for the soprano's exhilarating charisma, especially when matched by the ardent tenor of Marcello Giordani.
The great Renée Fleming stars as the beguiling femme fatale who captivates all Paris in Lehár's enchanting operetta, seen in a new staging by Broadway virtuoso director and choreographer Susan Stroman (The Producers,Oklahoma!, Contact). Stroman and her design team of Julian Crouch (Satyagraha, The Enchanted Island) and costume designer William Ivey Long (Cinderella, Grey Gardens, Hairspray) have created an art-nouveau setting that climaxes with singing and dancing grisettes at the legendary Maxim's. Nathan Gunn co-stars as Danilo and Kelli O'Hara is Valencienne. Sir Andrew Davis conducts.
Acclaimed director and longtime Adams collaborator Peter Sellars makes his Met debut with this groundbreaking 1987 work, an exploration of the human truths beyond the headlines surrounding President Nixon's 1972 encounter with Communist China.
Verdi's Shakespearean masterpiece returns to the Met with Johan Botha in the title role opposite the acclaimed Desdemona of star soprano Renée Fleming. Semyon Bychkov conducts.
Anna Netrebko revives her sensational turn in this sophisticated bel canto comedy, opposite Matthew Polenzani, Mariusz Kwiecien, and John Del Carlo in the title role. Music Director James Levine conducts. When Otto Schenk's production premiered in 2006, the New York Times called it "brilliant" and "wonderful."
Peter Grimes is under investigation for unthinkable transgressions, yet Benjamin Britten's probing exploration of the nature of guilt and judgment implicates an entire fishing village. Director John Doyle, a Tony Award® winner for his interpretation of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, makes his Met debut answering the challenges of this modern masterpiece.
Director Michael Mayer has placed his new production of Verdi's towering tragedy in Las Vegas in 1960. Piotr Beczala is the womanizing Duke, Željko Lucic is his tragic sidekick, Rigoletto, and Diana Damrau is Rigoletto's daughter, Gilda.
The Metropolitan Opera pairs two of the world's leading singers, Anna Netrebko and Roberto Alagna, to bring Shakespeare's tale of star-crossed lovers to thrilling and heartbreaking life.
Opera's charismatic real-life duo, Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna, provides the star power to deliver this ravishing romance from the world's most popular opera composer. Nicolas Joël directs the new production of this gorgeously melodic look at love.
The great Renée Fleming returns to one of her signature roles, singing the enchanting "Song to the Moon" in Dvorák's soulful fairy-tale opera. Tenor Piotr Beczala co-stars as the Prince, Dolora Zajick is Ježibaba, and dynamic young maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin is on the podium.
The Met's visually extravagant production is back for an encore engagement. Richard Croft (above) once again is Gandhi in Philip Glass's unforgettable opera, which the Washington Post calls "a profound and beautiful work of theater."
Tosca tells the story of three people—a famous opera singer, a free-thinking painter, and a sadistic chief of police—caught in a net of love and politics. Soprano Karita Mattila, recently seen in last season's Live in HD presentation of Salome, sings the title role for the first time outside her native Finland. Luc Bondy, acclaimed for his imaginative theater and opera productions, directs. The cast also includes Marcelo Álvarez as Cavaradossi and George Gagnidze as Scarpia. Joseph Colaneri conducts.
Natalie Dessay will put on the red dress in Willy Decker's stunning production, in her first Violetta at the Met.
David McVicar's stirring production of Verdi's intense drama premiered in the 2008–09 season. This revival stars four extraordinary singers—Sondra Radvanovsky, Dolora Zajick, Marcelo Álvarez, and Dmitri Hvorostovsky—in what might be the composer's most melodically rich score.
Director Franco Zeffirelli's breathtaking production of Puccini's last opera is a favorite of the Met repertoire. Maria Guleghina plays the ruthless Chinese princess of the title, whose hatred of men is so strong that she has all suitors who can't solve her riddles beheaded. Marcello Giordani sings Calàf, the unknown prince who eventually wins her love and whose solos include the famous "Nessun dorma."
Jonas Kaufmann stars in the title role of Massenet's sublime adaptation of Goethe's revolutionary and tragic romance, opposite Sophie Koch as Charlotte. The new production is directed and designed by Richard Eyre and Rob Howell, the same team that created the Met's recent hit staging of Carmen. Rising young maestro Alain Altinoglu conducts.

|Introduction | Canon EOS 5D Mark III vs. Nikon D800: Competition is closer than expected! | Standard lenses | Telephotos | Wide Angles
The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it's probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there's no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
After evaluating the performance characteristics of lenses mounted on full-frame models such as Nikon D800 and D600, as well as the Canon EOS 5D Mk III, we've now had the opportunity to analyze a range of lenses on the Sony SLT-A99. In this concise report, we'll see how well the combination of Sony's high-end image sensor and the latest Alpha mount lenses perform.

Lenses for a D5 Mark III
I will go to HK to buy a Canon D5 Mk II to replace my EOS 450D. I have a very good lens on my 450 (Canon EF28-135mm Ultrasonic). I intend buying to go with the D5 the Tamron 24-70 f2.8 Di VC USD and the Canon 50mm f1.2L or the Sigma 50mm F1.4 USM (if money is tight). I know where I'll know where to buy the camera as I have lived in HK and now live in China. As this is my last big spend on camera equipment, can someone say if the Canon EF 28-135MM, the Canon 50mm 1.2L and the Tamron 24-70mm lenses would be sufficient for my needs. I am just an average photographer who enjoys his hobby.
Many thanks.

In camera correction
The 5D Mk iii can correct aberrations, etc with this function enabled and for lenses that it recognizes. Canon also says that with third party lenses one should disable the function because it may confuse a third party lens with a canon lens and apply the wrong correction. I find that tough to buy, but it begs the following questions:
1. I assume your tests are with this function disabled. If that's true, and I turn it on, for lenses that it recognizes, does it improve the score?
2. After seeing the Sigma prime results, I would like to purchase them, but I'm not happy about turning off the corrections for my Canon lenses. What would you do? Disable the correction?
3. I assume if I use DxO optics Pro (about to buy it), that it would apply the corrections in any event- true?
Thanks, Bob (everything I do is RAW. Have a 1Dx and am about to purchase a 5D Mk iii)

Your assumptions are good:
- we effectively disable every correction on RAW to only evaluate lens quality
- Optics Pro will correct every lenses listed.
- About turning off the correction it is up to you!

Review including RAW conversion
I love your data and particularly value that lenses are reviewed in conjunction with camera bodies. I'm also a user of DxO Optics Pro for several years and sometimes use other Raw conversion products that include Digital Lens Optimization, such as Canon's Digital Photo Professional. Optics Pro and similar lens optimization programming included in Raw converters can make a huge difference in the final image quality of the images processed with them.
I'm frustrated that I can't see the lens performance rating after correction. I realize that's a huge can of worms, but digital lens correction and optimization is an important part of the digital imaging system (lens/camera/software). DxO has had a leadership position in this area for years, an yet I've never seen DxOMark apply its analysis to the corrected images of a lens/camera combination.
Don't you think that this would be very useful? Even if you do a limited sample, I think applying the quantitative analysis would be very informative, particularly when applied to a zoom lens.
I see this clearly in my own photography, particularly with my Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS. Without correction, that lens isn't anywhere near the same performance level as my EF 70-200mm f/4L IS or my EF 500mm f/4L IS. It's not even close, but after correction, the results are very good.
Best regards,
Dave Stephens

Please help me understand how the sensor plays into the lens sharpness
How does lens sharpness increase so significantly from the 5DII to the 5DIII when using the same lens? Also, how do the same lens have such higher sharpness score on the D800 vs D7000, which have the same pixel density? Obviously this sharpness number depends on the sensor somehow, but it is not explained.

Nikon D600 vs. Canon 5D Mark III
It will be very interesting when DxOMark publishes it's full D600 recommended lens review (it appears late as it was promised for the end of April?) to see how it performs against the Canon 5D Mark III....since the MP count between those two cameras is much closer than between the D800 and the 5D Mark III.
There is already some early evidence from DxOMark testing that the D600 outperforms the D4, D3, D3s and D3X and is very close to the D800 on certain lenses (for example in the recent Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR II review).
I have been wondering if the full DxOMark lens tests with the D600 are going to show that the D600 delivers the best overall value in terms of overall DxOMark scores and sharpness scores. I know I've been blow away by the results I've been getting with my D600 and Nikon 70-200 f/4 VR.

Re: Nikon D600 vs. Canon 5D Mark III
I guess you have seen it already. - The cat is out of the sack.- The D600 is definetly on the same level with the D800 and thus outperforms the Canon 5D Mark III.
Best example ist the DxO Mark value for the 85 mm primes. - The D800 and D600 reach values of 40 with the best lenses. - The Canon 5d Mark III's best value is at 35. 5 Points are quite a noticable difference in IQ, I suspekt.
And at that one should also take the price tag into account...
I'm extremely happy with my D600.

Wide and ultra-wide angle prime (fixed focal length)
Hi DxO
In the above article on lenses for Canon 5D MkIII, the comparison table shows the Canon EF 24mm f1.4L II USM as tying 3rd place score-wise with Carl Zeis Distagon T35MM f2 ZE for Canon, yet the note under the comparison table says,"The two top rated wide-angle lenses are moderate wide-angles, followed by Canon's highly rated EF 24mm f1.4 II USM".
Is this a purposeful promotion of Canon over the Carl Zeis lens? Could you be bending to corporate pressure from Canon? I was hoping your editorial comments were completely independent.

I'd been shopping for an ultrawide (5d3) for several months, and just last week got the Samyang 14mm. After a few uses, I've found as long as I keep it at f/11 and am careful on the manual focus, I can get very acceptable results. I'll be interested in seeing how the Canon 14mm does. I certainly expect it to beat the Samyang, but it will be interesting to see if it justifies the 6x price difference.

Since you've included 3rd party manual lenses, it seems to me you could include some Nikon lenses too - lens adapters are quite common since the rise of mirrorless and lenses like Nikon 14-24/2.8 are widely used on Canon bodies.

Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar ZF.2 vs ZE versions
How do you explain that the Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T 100 f/2 ZE version on a Canon 5D MarkIII gets higher sharpness rating than the ZF.2 version on a Nikon D800?
Aren't the optical designs the same? Or should this difference be attributed to the flange distance only? The last question being true, would a ZE version with the proper adapter, mounted on a NikonD800 perform the same as a ZE on a Canon 5DMarkIII?

Re: Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar ZF.2 vs ZE versions
A good question! I just found out the answer.
Go to the 'About' drop down at top of page and select 'Lens scores'; this will explain in full. Here's the brief conclusion copied and pasted.
All of these sensor-related factors have an impact on lens performance and cannot be ignored. The very same lens can show differences in image quality performance when coupled with different camera bodies, which is why DxOMark puts in the time and effort to test and publish the results for as many lens-camera combinations as possible.
I hope that helps.

Re: Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar ZF.2 vs ZE versions
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
Between design and real lenses there is always differences !
For this case, the first remarks would be that the 2 sensors have very different optical measurements. On one side the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is very efficient, while the D800 is finally slightly disappointing when considering resolving power.
The second remark is that vertical sharpness is slightly lower measured on the Nikon mount.

Re: your comparison is INVALID
Then what kind of comparison do you want? Do you use your camera and lens separately? They've tested the best lenses available for both systems. Isn't that enough? They've also used the same third party lenses when available for both systems. Tell us why do you think this is invalid...
Added by Chris Newman | April 07, 2013
Re: your comparison is INVALID
Comparing competing Canon and Nikon body and lens combinations is helpful for anyone wanting to choose a system. Comparing high quality, supposedly identical third-party lenses on Canon and Nikon bodies should give a comparison of the capabilities of the bodies. But the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM A scored 23P-Mpix on the Nikon D800 and 19P-Mpix on the Canon 5D Mk III (4 point advantage to Nikon), yet the Sigma 85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM scored 18P-Mpix on the Nikon D800 and 20P-Mpix on the Canon 5D Mk III (2 point advantage to Canon). This suggests either variations in the copies of the lenses or experimental error.
Commenting on the average scores for third-party lenses that were tested on both bodies would be useful. But comparing averages made up of different lenses (85 on Canon but only 62 on Nikon) could be misleading. The statement "the Canon EOS 5D Mark III occupies no less than 3 positions out of the Top 10" (for Sharpness scores) is highly misleading, because all 3 top scores were on the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM. The longest Nikon prime DxO give results for is the 105mm macro.

what's a camera without lens?
this report proves that the sensor score is not the important factor, it's the body-lens-combination that matters.

Comments about Ruff Wear Inc. RuffWear Omnijore Joring System- Choose Size:
My 65 pound lab mix is a puller. I have tried several methods of curbing this behavior (training, pinch collar, harness). The omnijore system allows her to still feel some pull, but cuts down my struggle. Harness is lightweight and adjusts easily to fight snuggly, and loosens for removal. I have used for walking and running ang have found the hip belt comfortable. I even attach my other dogs regular leash to it with no trouble for a hands free walk or run. Mesh bag is great for storing, keeping all parts together and condensing for space saving. I'm looking forward to using it for some skijoring this winter!

Works great
By Save A Lot
from Houston, TX
I installed Slipstream in my bedroom which measures about 16.5'x14.5'x9'H. I was concerned that it may overwhelm the room but it did not. The fan blades are 65" across but the motor is only about 8" wide by about 5" tall. The globe hangs down about 3" below the motor and maybe an inch out from the motor. I was upgrading my existing ceiling fan with the hopes of increasing airflow especially around the perimeter of the room. This fan certainly did not disappoint. It moves a very nice amount of air and distributes it to the edges of the room. It seems rock solid with no wobble. I only see 3 minor issues with it (which is the reason for a 4* rating). I knew 2 of the issues before I purchased the fan: 1) the light output is not that much and it uses an unusual bulb (GU24 "squat" CFL), and 2) the cost is a bit higher than I had originally planned on spending. However, I had already tried a fan from the local big box hardware store which was significantly less expensive and performed well except for the annoying somewhat random noises. The 3rd minor issue is a little bit of a "helicoptering" noise on the higher speeds (5, 6). It is a consistent noise and is not intrusive but is noticeable. I have a 72" 9 blade DC motor fan in another room that works wonderfully as well and it does not really make this sound. Of course, the max RPM on the Slipstream 65" fan is 98 whereas the other 72" fan has a max RPM of 81. Interestingly enough, these 2 fans seem to use the same remote control command set and frequency. I changed the remote frequency on the Slipstream to avoid interference. This was the most I had ever spent on a ceiling fan but based on its performance and its initial quality, it looks like it will be worth the purchase price (at least to me). Its long term performance and quality will be the real test.

But after a few years, Western Conference coaches are thinking that a modified Stableford scoring system for girls golf matches perhaps wasn't such a good idea after all.
This year Wesco coaches voted to return to stroke play, and the change has been accepted without controversy or regret.
According to Snohomish High School girls golf coach Ken Roberts, who "absolutely" supported the switch, stroke play "is the only way girls can understand where they're scoring, and it makes it real easy to compare where they need to be for districts and state."
With a modified Stableford scoring system, "it was sometimes frustrating for the girls because they really didn't know what their (stroke) score was," Roberts said. "You kind of get a general idea (with Stableford), but you never really know for sure."
Unlike stroke play, where every shot from the first tee to the 18th green is counted, Stableford uses a point system for every hole. According to the United States Golf Association, standard Stableford scoring gives five points for double-eagles, four for eagles, three for birdies, two for pars and one for bogeys.
Modified Stableford scoring uses adjusted point values, as determined by tournament officials. Or in this case, by Wesco coaches.
In recent years, Wesco girls matches used a modified Stableford system that gave six points for eagles, five for birdies, four for pars, three for bogeys, two for double-bogeys, and one for triple-bogeys. After a triple-bogey -- for instance, following the seventh stroke on a par-4 hole -- the golfer could pick up her ball.
Going to modified Stableford scoring seemed to make sense because some Wesco teams have several golf novices, and individual scores well over 100 were not uncommon. Allowing girls to pick up their balls on poor holes helped speed up varsity matches.
The problem, said Glacier Peak girls coach Kelven May, "is that when you go to districts, there's no pick-up rule. Once you get to the postseason, you play until you get the ball in the hole. But for the last couple of years they were used to picking up. They were not used to managing blow-up holes."
By returning to stroke play, he went on, "it forces them to manage a few more shots. And it's just more like regular golf."
As a compromise, league coaches agreed to let players pick up their balls after the 10th shot on any hole. There has been continuing discussion about adjusting that number to a double-par maximum, meaning a player could get no worse than a six on a par 3, eight on a par 4 and 10 on a par 5.
To date, said Meadowdale girls coach Chris Huddleson, returning to stroke play "has been a good thing. It makes the girls' scores more relate-able across the state and to other golfers and parents."
There is, he conceded, "a bit of a learning curve that we're having right now. And speed of play is, of course, an issue. We're hoping that it works itself out. But that's still a big issue whether you're talking about boys or girls, but a little more with the girls."
Part of the learning curve is that some Wesco golfers are getting a lot of 10s on their scorecards. "And if everybody on a team is a brand-new golfer and if they're getting 10s on every hole, that's a long day," May said.
Still, "my take on it is that I like it," he said. And for golfers who struggle, he added, "hopefully it drives you in the offseason to get better so you're not getting a 10 on every hole."

SAN DIEGO - The Miami University softball team completed its spring break trip with a split on Saturday. The RedHawks defeated Colorado State, 3-2, in eight innings in the opener before falling to Harvard, 7-2, in the nightcap. Miami is now 4-18 on the season.
Sophomore pitcher Megan Mattera kept Colorado State (10-14) off the board for the first five innings of the opener. That proved to be key as the game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fourth. With one out, Shanyn McIntyre reached on an error. After a strikeout, Hailey Reed singled to centerfield, moving McIntyre up to second base. Kylie McChesney followed with a single to leftfield, scoring McIntyre and giving the 'Hawks a 1-0 lead.
It remained that way until the top of the sixth, when a triple off of Mattera and a double off of reliever Paige Myers brought home a run for the Rams and tied the score at one. Colorado State threatened again in the top of the seventh when it got runners at second and third with no one out, but Myers and the Miami defense bore down and did not allow anyone to score as the game went into extra innings.
Playing the international tiebreaker rule, the Rams scored their placed runner in the top of the eighth to take a 2-1 lead. In the bottom of the eighth, Remy Edwards started off on second base. Taylor Shuey was then hit by a pitch. Tiyona Marshall tried to sacrifice them over, but Colorado State got Edwards out at third. A wild pitch moved both Shuey and Marshall up a base. Allie Larrabee followed with deep fly ball to left field that allowed Shuey to run home on the sacrifice and tie the score at two. Colorado State chose to intentionally walk Kayla Ledbetter so it could face McIntyre instead. That proved to be a mistake as McIntyre singled down the leftfield line, bringing home Marshall and giving Miami the 3-2 win.
McIntyre finished the opener 1-for-3 with one run scored and one RBI. Mattera allowed one earned run on six hits in 5.2 innings. Myers earned the victory in relief, allowing one unearned run on two hits in 2.2 innings. She struck out four.
Harvard (5-8) struck first in the nightcap with a single run in the bottom of the second inning. The RedHawks answered with two runs in the top of the third. With one out, Edwards drew a walk. After the Crimson recorded the second out, Hailey Reed reached on an error by the right fielder. The error allowed Edwards to come home all the way from first and tie the game at one. Ledbetter followed with a double to centerfield to score Reed and give Miami a 2-1 advantage.
The score remained that way until the bottom of the fifth, when an error followed by a home run allowed Harvard to score four runs and take a 5-2 lead. The Crimson would tack on two more in the bottom of the sixth to finish off the 7-2 victory.
Ledbetter finished the nightcap 1-for-3 with one RBI. Edwards and Jenna Modic also recorded hits for Miami.
Miami returns to action on Tuesday, March 26 when it opens the home schedule with a doubleheader against Morehead State. The first game will begin at 2 p.m., and both games will be available via Miami All-Access.

Two New Behind-the-Scenes RIDDICK Movie Photos Featuring Vin Diesel
The latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000's hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel. Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy.
Riddick stars Vin Diesel (Fast Five, xXx), Karl Urban (Star Trek, The Bourne Supremacy), Jordi Molla (Bad Boys II, Colombiana), Matt Nable (Killer Elite), Katee Sackhoff (TV's Battlestar Galactica), Bokeem Woodbine (upcoming Total Recall), Dave Bautista (The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption), Conrad Pla (Immortals), Raoul Trujillo (Apocalypto), Nolan Funk (TV's Aliens in America) and Keri Hilson. Riddick, which is shooting in Montreal, Canada, is a One Race Films production. The film will be released by Universal Pictures in the U.S., and Lionsgate is handling international sales.

Men's Volleyball Picked to Finish Second In Conference Preseason Poll
January 13, 2014
High Point, NC – Conference Carolinas coaches have announced the 2014 Preseason poll and Pfeiffer was picked to finish second in the league. Mount Olive was selected as the number one ranked team going into the 2014 Men's Volleyball season. Mount Olive returns a two-time All-Conference Carolinas selection and two additional full or part-time starters from last year's regular season conference championship squad. The Trojans have won three regular season titles and two tournament titles in the four years men's volleyball has been a conference sport.
Two-time All-Conference Carolinas outside hitter Angel Dache ranked third in the nation in service aces in 2013. He also compiled the 14th highest hitting percentage in the nation and ranked 18th in kills per set.
The Trojans' 2014 schedule includes away contests against nationally second-ranked Loyola (Ill.) and eighth-ranked Lewis (Ill.) during the first weekend of the season. Mount Olive is also on the road at No. 11 Penn State and vote-getter IPFW. The Trojans play host to vote-getter and Ivy League member Princeton.
In his first year at Mount Olive, head coach David Heller was named 2013 Conference Carolinas Men's Volleyball Coach of the Year.
The Pfeiffer University men's volleyball team, despite winning their second straight Conference Carolinas tournament championship, has been picked to finish second in the preseason coaches' poll for the second straight season. Pfeiffer, while capturing the 2013 conference tournament championship, also boasted three players on the 2013 all-tournament team, two players on the all-conference first team, the Conference Carolinas' player of the year, and the tournament's most outstanding player.
In 2013, the Falcons led the conference in assists as a team and also featured the league's assist leader per set in David Specian. Specian, who heads into his junior season, was named to the preseason Lloy Ball Award Watch List by Offtheblock.com. Specian was sixth in the nation with a 10.74 assists per game average and in the nation's top 25 with a 0.29 assists per game average in 2013.
Pfeiffer will look to repeat as Conference Champions under the guidance of first-year Head Coach Paul Lawson.
Following one of the most successful seasons in program history, Limestone men's volleyball has been picked to finish third in Conference Carolinas in 2014.
Last season the Saints not only tied the program record for wins with 15 (15-14, 9-7 CC) but they also made the Conference Carolinas Tournament for the second consecutive year, posted the first two postseason wins in program history and advanced to their first championship match.
Among those post season victories was a 3-1 win over regular season champion Mount Olive, which had finished 22-6 overall and 15-1 in league play, on their home floor. While the Saints graduated a number of key players from last year's record setting team, they have reloaded with a talented group of freshman and transfers and are poised to build off of the success of last season.
Erskine finished fourth in the poll with Lee-McRae fifth followed by Belmont Abbey, King and Barton College respectively rounding-out the poll standings.

I have thought about it, but haven't found a house that has the fragrances to satisfy me all year round.
I wouldn't want to do that, but if I had to, I'd probably choose Guerlain.
Guerlain, easily.
Malle from the more recent houses.

I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Could never be satisfied with just one fragrance house.
Guerlain. no doubt.
seeking mitsouko 50ml's cap....desperately!!
would never want to, but if I absolutely had to, I'd probably go with Creed. There the only house with 3 fragrances in my top 10. Damn I would sure miss my Tobacco Vanille & LIDGE though...
Very close between Guerlain and Chanel - but Chanel would get it mainly because I love Chanel No.5 so much. Couldn't live without it.
House of Diamondflame.
If I were limited to one house only, it would be:
1. Dior, alternatively,
2. Yves Saint Laurent
Guerlain...with consideration to Vintage YSL and Caron.
Some perfumes are as fragrant as an infants flesh, sweet as an oboes cry, and greener than the spring; While others are triumphant, decadent or rich; Having the expansion of infinite things, like ambergris and musk, benzoin and frankincense, which sing the transports of the mind and every sense.
― Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil & Paris Spleen
It would have to be Dunhill, so i can continue with my all-time favourite, Blend 30.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
Another vote for Guerlain.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Only one house then looking at my current collection I would have to go with the house I own most bottles from, which is Xerjoff
Would miss my Guerlains though...
Creed may not be the most innovative, but their products sure are wearable.

I few years ago for me would have been Polo ***embarrassed***

Favorite notes at this point: Sandal wood, Oud, Frankincense, Rose
This is easy. For their range of fragrances from affordable to very exclusive, and just the sheer variety, it would have to be:
To choose only one would be traumatic, however, in the spirit of the posted question, I would choose Guerlain to be my maison de fragrance.
Ericrico hit the nail on the head with this one.
Vintage YSL.
Chanel or L'Artisan
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men. ~Herman Melville
I want to change my answer to Guerlain.
Ooooh! Difficult choice. I could live with Santa Maria Novella. From the best Citrus Colognes....... through the florals...... to the wierd and wonderful tobacco/leather/incense fragrances.
Lutens or Malle.
Facebook group: Perfume Lovers in Singapore, Unite! (You don't have to be in Singapore to join.)
Frederic Malle.
(First runner up, Chanel, then Amouage.)
Since my last response on this thread I've discovered Jicky EdP, which is my number one right now by some margin.
Having said that, I've also discovered Eau Sauvage Extreme and Eau Sauvage Parfum - the former is very good, and the latter is fantastic. So I'd hate to have lose Dior.
But Guerlain has it, if I have to choose one.
I have come to realize that I cannot pick just one without mentioning others that I adore.
Whose idea was this anyway? LOL. I believe variety is the spice of life, especially in olfactory pleasure.
I have to mention, or else I wouldn't be honest - Balenciaga. Their male fragrances literally stop me in my tracks when I smell them - I am mesmerized. A house that is so significant and dear to me.
A more fair thread that was on BN a while back - "Name your Top 5 houses". At least then, we don't feel like Tom Hanks stuck on an island talking to a ball named, "Wilson", losing our sanity. That is the relative effect of having to choose one house for us with a deep passion...

|Economics studies the allocation of scarce resources by society and is important in understanding how markets function and in designing public policies to solve social problems. The Bachelor of Arts in Economics equips students with a variety of skills sought by employers, including conceptualizing and solving problems; understanding and analyzing data in decision making; and critical thinking skills. In their junior year, student learn microeconomic and macroeconomic theory which enables them to use economic modeling to understand a wide variety of issues; students also take an applied econometrics class where they learn to use statistical software used to run regression analysis. Students then take a series of electives that deal with vital current topics relevant to many careers in which these theories and skills are applied, such as our financial and banking systems the economic relation between the United States and foreign countries; government spending and taxation policies; the United States' health system and policy options. In their senior year, students take a capstone course that utilizes and applies the theory, analytical skills and data analysis techniques learned in the program.
Combined Baccalaureate/Master's Program in the College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Management: Students must have earned 90 semesters hours to apply for the Combine Baccalaureate/Master's Program in the College of Business Administration. In addition, they must meet the GPA requirement of 3.30 after 90 semester hours
|Economists held about 14,600 jobs in 2008. Government employed 53 percent of economists, in a wide range of agencies, with 31 percent in Federal Government and 22 percent in State and local government. The remaining jobs were spread throughout private industry, particularly in scientific research and development services and management, scientific, and technical consulting services. A number of economists combined a full-time job in government, academia, or business with part-time or consulting work in another setting.
Employment of economists is concentrated in large cities. Some work abroad for companies with major international operations, for U.S. Government agencies, and for international organizations, such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and United Nations.
In addition to the previously mentioned jobs, economists who hold faculty positions in colleges and universities are counted as postsecondary teachers.

The purpose of this blog post is to demonstrate why hidden SSID & MAC Address filtering should only be layers of wireless security used in conjunction with strong encryption such as WPA.
Below are the steps an attacker could take to bypass a hidden SSID and MAC Address filtering to gain a foothold on your network and either instigate further attacks or use your internet connection.
- Kismet
The Attack
1. I first use kismet to look at the wireless networks within range.
My target wireless network is "batman". I can see from kismet that this has no encryption and the SSID is hidden.
At this stage I wouldn't know that the AP was using MAC Address filtering so I could try to join the network using:
iwconfig eth1 essid batman
Then I would try to obtain an IP address using:
dhclient eth1
The request for an IP Address would fail as the WAP is filtering MAC addresses.
2. Within Kismet I look at the clients connected to "batman" to obtain a valid client MAC address.
I see an active client is using the MAC of 00:16:6F:4D:AE:8C
I could then either wait for the client to disconnect or use a tool such as aireplay-ng to force a disconnection. As this is a test lab I will simply disconnect the valid client.
3. I check my current wireless card config using ifconfig
Note: I see that Kismet has not brought the card out of promiscuous mode. This will need to be done manually.
4. I now want take my card out of promiscuous mode, change my MAC address to that of the valid client, and join the hidden (batman) network. To do this I use the following commands:
ifconfig eth1 -promisc
ifconfig eth1 down
ifconfig eth1 hw ether 00:16:6F:4D:AE:8C
ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 essid batman
I verify the output of these commands with ifconfig and iwconfig as i go along.
5. I now request an IP address from the DHCP server on the WAP using:
dhclient eth1
I have successfully been assigned an IP address of 192.168.1.202 from the WAP (192.168.1.5 hmmm this is useful to know as I can try the web interface on that using either default passwords (Kismet will tell me the make of the WAP) or hydra........)
If the WAP was not using DHCP I would at this stage configure my card manually and set up my own DNS.
7. I now test connectivity to the web using ping:
ping www.yahoo.com
my ping works, this tells me I have web access and DNS is working correctly.
Hopefully this demonstration has proven to you how simple it is for an attacker to bypass some of the more basic restrictions. Don't rely on a hidden SSID or MAC Address filtering as your only security measures. They may stop the average neighbor from using your internet connection but they will not prevent an attacker from breaking into your network and using your internet connection.

|I had originally hoped to do both Mt. Ogden and nearby James Peak but didn't quite get the early start I needed so I drove up from Orem and hiked up from the lodge at the base of Snowbasin. Snow on the ground made it a bit more alpine but it was not enough for skiing. I almost had the mountain to myself except for meeting two guys and two dogs who were doing a traverse from the Ogden side. Windy on top but a nice day.

|We summited via Malans Basin, which near the top is really steep with no trail. The trail kind of disapears once you climb up into the Basin. We found one of the covers from the towers on the summit nearly 2 miles down the mountain, which attests the the high winds that come off the summit and carried all the way down there.

|I think mountaineer1080 is my pussy climbing partner in the summit post below. He is right, in that the south shoulder is not the best idea unless you are out to torture yourself. We pushed straight up from Malan's basin, trail not so obvious, and then lost the trail completely further up. Staggeringly beautiful scenery from the top. P.S. if you plan to climb with mountaineer1080, prepare for unending complaining, slow climbing, and a guy who will drink all of your beer in the dark of the night. Don't believe anything he says, and if you have to camp with him, sleep on your back and with one eye open.

|We had originally tried the the shoulder to the south in January, but it turned out not to be the best idea and headed down about 1500 ft below the peak. This time we went up along the north side of the stream from Malan's Basin. Then scrambled up to the top. It was a lot easier then I thought it would have been. The view from the top was incredible though and well worth it. ....High country by the way is so full of it his eyes are dark brown, and I packed my own beer, even gave him one. So what now "highcountry"?

|Taylor, Waterfall, Beus, Snowbasin Date Climbed: Many
Date Climbed: Sep 16, 1995
|Taylor Canyon - The trail goes up the canyon and gradually gains elevation. It then meets up with the trail to Malans Basin. There is a nice overlook up this switchback. After six long switchbacks the trail ends up on top of Malans Peak. It then descends down towards Malans Basin. The route from here to the top of Mount Ogden involves a lot of steep off-trail hiking and is probably one of the more strenuous routes up the mountain.
Waterfall Canyon - This is my favorite route up Mount Ogden. The trail up to Malans Falls is short and steep. The best time to see the falls is during spring. The route then goes up a gully with some fun scrambling. After that is a steep hike up a long talus slope that eventually ends up near the top of the falls. There is some bushwhacking and off-trail hiking that you must do in order to get to Malans Basin where you can take the regular route up the west face.
Beus Canyon - The easiest route up the mountain from the west side. There is a maintained trail that goes all the way to the summit. It is a nice hike that has over 4,000 feet of elevation gain. It also gives access to DeMoisy and Strawberry Peak.
Snowbasin - The road leading to the summit is simple to follow and it makes a nice half-day hike. This is the easiest route up the mountain. The equipment on top is quite an eyesore. You do get a nice view of the east face of Mount Ogden from the trail.

50th Runoffs Under Way From Road America
History is in the making at Road America this week. Here are just some of the things we're looking for:
50th Runoffs Celebration: The 50th SCCA National Championship Runoffs began officially on Monday, with all 28 National Championship-eligible classes running a practice session at Road America. The week-long event culminates with the victory laps of the freshly crowned National Champions during races on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The SCCA Runoffs has been crowning National Champions for 50 years, and some of racing's greats have used an SCCA title to springboard their careers. Bobby Rahal, Mark Donohue, Roger Penske, actor/driver Paul Newman, Graham Rahal, Scott Sharp and Randy Pobst all made their name at the Runoffs.
Elkhart Lake Party: The 700 competitors and 550 volunteer workers at the 50th Runoffs have plenty of extracurricular activities throughout the week. Monday night's welcome party, hosted by the Elkhart Lake Chamber of Commerce, is in downtown Elkhart Lake at the Osthoff Hotel. Wednesday and Thursday's big events take place at the race track for the BFGoodrich Tires Worker of the Year dinner and the 50th Runoffs Celebration on Thursday night.
Ordinary People, Extraordinary Feats: The racers at this week's SCCA National Championship Runoffs are a unique mix of talented drivers. Most are "weekend warriors," mixing it up on the track on the weekends before heading home to their day-to-day jobs through the week. Some are youngsters with an eye on a professional driving career, honing their craft while looking to the future. The common theme to an SCCA competition is that these are seemingly ordinary people doing extraordinary things with racecars.
Closing The Road America Chapter: The SCCA Runoffs are visiting the four-mile Road America for the fifth time in this era of the event. It's just the sixth track to host the event, following Riverside International Raceway (1964, 1966, & 1968), the road course at Daytona International Speedway (1965, 1967 & 1969), Road Atlanta (1970-1993), Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (1994-2005), and Heartland Park Topeka (2006-2008).
The near future of the Runoffs has already been announced, as the event will travel to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (2014), Daytona International Speedway (2015), and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (2016) over the next three years.
Champions Return Home: For the 50th SCCA National Championship Runoffs, all past National Champions were declared eligible to participate.
Many drivers who had been away from SCCA Club Racing have chosen to take advantage of the exemption. Some drivers had "retired", like seven-time champion Dave Weitzenhof, who scored a DNF in 2009 at his last Runoffs appearance before showing up this year in Formula Vee. Jerry Barker, David Daughtery, Tom Hughes, Mike Rand, Jamie Houseman and Arnie Loyning fall into this category.
Others, like Pirelli World Challenge driver Randy Pobst, current off road racer Andrew Caddell, or pro racer and driving instructor Tony Kester are using the week as an excuse to get back to their Club Racing roots.
John Morton, the former IMSA champion, Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring winner, and 1970 and 1971 C Production SCCA National Champion will make his return to the cockpit this week in E Production.
Record Watch: The 50th Runoffs has brought a number of cars out to celebrate the occasion. As of Monday morning's post time, 710 cars remained on the entry list.
If each of those cars turned a lap throughout the week of competition, that would eclipse the previous Runoffs best of 709 cars at Mid-Ohio in 2004.
Accompanying that is the record 60 cars that started the 2010 Spec Miata race. A full track of 62 cars ran Monday morning's practice session, with seven more on the entry list to participate.
World Class Broadcast: Once again, every race at this year's SCCA National Championship Runoffs will be streamed live from Road America on www.SpeedCastTV.com. The on-air team includes broadcast veterans Rick Benjamin, John Bisignano, Dorsey Schroeder and Jim Tretow as well as current Pirelli World Challenge driver, and former Runoffs Champion, Randy Pobst and new team member Jeff Lepper, who calls the live World Challenge races on SpeedcastTV.
Championship Worthy: Monday opened with just practice sessions… Jim Downing, running in C Sports Racing this week, was the polesitter in the inaugural Runoffs race. Downing finished 10th in Formula Vee in 1964, but was a podium finisher most recently in 2011… The same CSR group was first out this morning. Jason Miller, of nearby Sheboygan Falls, Wis., was the first car on track for the history-making event… Michael Ross, of Friendswood, Texas, was the first big accident of the week. His No. 22 X-Factor Racing/TPR Consulting Mazda Miata hit the wall in Turn 14. He was uninjured, but the Spec Miata will need some work for his week to continue… The first qualifying laps will be turned in a combined group for C Sports Racing and D Sports Racing on Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. (CDT). Super Touring Under will take the green flag for the first race on Friday morning at 8:45 a.m.
Qualifying: 28 classes, running Tuesday, September 17 through Thursday, September 19. Each class gets one 30-minute session per day.
Races: Friday, September 20 through Sunday, September 22
A complete schedule and entry list is available at www.scca.com/runoffs.
Race Lengths: 13 laps, 52 miles or a 40 minute time limit
Broadcast: All 28 races will be broadcast live on www.speedcasttv.com throughout the weekend.
Timing/Scoring: Live Timing & Scoring and lap notes via the SCCA® Pit Board are available for all sessions through www.scca.com.
