Some users think that the Windows Explorer shell is a fine desktop. But if you've played around in the land of Linux for a while, that less-than-flexible Explorer interface may not work for you. One solution is to install a replacement Explorer shell. There are plenty of shells to choose from, some open source, some proprietary. Here's a rundown of five of the most appealing choices.

SharpEnviro is no more under active development. http://sharpe.sourceforge.net/Download.html
When are you planning to give us a full page option instead of 90's slideshows?
The ones that don't look like win7 are horrid..think i'll say stock
It would be better to make a downloadable PDF file (or at least a HTML/text file that I can copy with a "copy and paste). I find slide shows to be a PITA - especially when there are more than 2 (I was going to say 1, but I feel generous today).
The Sharp Enviro Project was shut down in Dec. Caveat, use what is available at your own risk per the site (future Win. 7 updates may cause conflicts). See top of: http://sharpe.sourceforge.net/Download.html .
The newest version of bblean was released in 2009 and xoblite's newest version is from 2005
That's because cans haven't been updated and made incompatible with your 'P-38', whereas OS get updated constantly and sometimes other software no longer works properly/does strange things unless it is also updated.
I don't get the significance. So an app is no longer under development; if it still works, what's the problem? A 'P-38' can opener from C-rations will still open cans.
Thanks for wasting my time telling me about stuff that's either not free or is years out of development!
I would have liked to try the SharpEnviro Shell, but according to their website, they stopped work on it back in December.
Reading this on a mobile device is very uncomfortable. I've been deterred from reading past articles as a result of this. I guess it's TR's method of encouragement to use their mobile app.
When are you guys going to post a proper story? Come on, refresh for every pic?
I too agree the slideshows on TR suck. It makes no sense to reload an entire page to just go to the next picture. It should be more like Facebook or many web sites out there. Coming from a technology site, this is too ironic and very disappointing.
Meh, I don't see the point in any of this. I do understand the importance of a desktop manager for Linux, but a replacement manager for windows - really? Just make a toolbar, or pin links to taskbar / start. Click the shortcut. Program running, job done.
I tried Window Blinds for XP & Vista and ran into occasional lockup problems. Didn't have the luxury of time to address the issues so I backed away from it. It looks like SharpEnviro is no longer going to have support. Their site states the following: "As of december 2011 the SharpEnviro project is no longer under active development. All files provided come without any warranty or support!" So if you want to experiment and have the older OS such as XP or Vista, you can give it a try. Personally XP or Vista is configurable enough and doesn't lead you down the support path rat hole some of these fanciful alternatives propose. A simple way to speed up the XP desktop without changing hardware is to make sure your wallpaper file size is small. It's certainly best to keep it under 1 MB. You can also switch to Classic view and change colors to what you want which keeps the performance demand low.
This post was sent to me in in the TR Daily Digest. Some of this stuff isn't even in development any more. The xoblite page doesn't seem to have been updated since Dec. 2005. They're still bragging about being on TechTV.
I ain't gonna waste time clicking thru jpgs. Print info and let me read it quickly.
I just checked the websites for the last two recommendations: bbLean's last update was in 2009, and Xoblite's was in 2005! I don't know whether the author checked them on his computer, or just googled-copied-and-pasted what he found, but I am very hesitant to install a 2005 program on a computre that is four OS versions newer...
ShareEnviro while still free is no longer supported and does not guarantee it will work with Windows 7 SP1. Aston Shell offers a free trial download and has other offerings to add to the desktop "shell".
what the SHELL is supposed to do, but it looks like it clutters the desktop so much one cannot see the picture. I never use the desktop interface anyway why should I go for such a cluttered display? If it is a commonly used program (MsOffice for instance or a specific office file) I put them in the quick launch toolbar. I will sometimes add the destop toolbar for programs that are present there, but in no way do I want all that stuff cluttering my desktop! Some of those things look like a remote control, without clarification, I don't know what the littel pictures/icons refer to. I don't hav W7 to play with much except on my wife's laptop. Can't mess with it too much! XP Media Center on my desktop and the laptop I inherited from my daughter has XP as well.
"You won't be adding widgets and new and improved menus with WindowBlinds." If you get the entire Object Desktop suite instead of just the WindowBlinds component, it has tools for replacing menus, customizing dialogs, keyboard shortcuts, docks, gadgets, not to mention animated desktops, icon editors, virtual desktops, and a dozen other tools; $49.95 for the whole package.
Sharpenviro project closed December 2011. When was this slideshow written?
I too am sick of the slide shows. I would like to see one long page that I can just scroll through to read and view. Thank you.
We have reached the point where content is no longer important. We would rather have dancing bears and Flash content instead of actual content. But what do I know; I'm just an old green-screener?
Poor examples aside I too am sick and tired of the Slideshow Galleries on TR. Reloading an entire page for each picture is riduclous and looks like banner reload scam.
These are the absolutely worst ways th present this kind of information, yet TR does it over and over - WTF
I expect the folks that like Linux on computers and Android on phones/tablets would be attracted to this 'super customizable' eye candy. I spend most of my time using my core programs, not getting to them, let alone playing with the shell UI.
I'm surprised no mention was made of Stardock's variety of shell replacements- DesktopX, Object Desktop, Tiles, Fences... with a subscription to Object Desktop you can basically 'roll your own' and make Windows dance any way you want it to. WindowBlinds is the least of them.
I have used Windows Blinds for a while but not recently. (up until Vista came along) Windws Blinds is a seriously cool "Theme" switcher but I never really saw it as a "SHELL" To my way of thinking a "shell" replaces the windows experience rather than enhances it. (Don't get me wrong I loved window blinds it just was to much of a drag on my graphics card(s) ) I even messed around with LiteStep (which I didn't see mentioned here.. perhaps it is no longer in development) Most of the time, I found that replacing the shell caused more trouble than the "Coolness" was worth.
I would like to have the Windows XP shell on my Win 7 HP. Where could I get it, or the nearest alternative - and I don't mean the "windows classic" already provided which is not the same thing?
why on earth would anyone want to make the awesome windows explorer interface look like the really nastly linux one i just dont get it lol//
As of december 2011 the SharpEnviro project is no longer under active development. All files provided come without any warranty or support! It is uncertain if or how well the previously released versions of SharpEnviro will work with any new or updated Windows system after Windows 7 Service Pack 1. [...]
Actually Jack, if you download the add on package you can create more desktops with Stardock skinning, and if you incorporate GIMP even more.

OS and app updates can be easily applied for free; did you mean upGRADES? By the time support is dropped, the kind of problems you're talking about have usually all been patched. But say an OS or app problem crops up; use System Restore or other backup to put the OS back as it was. Upgrades aren't necessary unless you want to add new features. In that case, yes, you may need to upgrade the OS. But as long as you're working satisfactorily, you shouldn't need to.

The slideshow isn't your only alternative. Simply click the link on the first page of the post that clearly offers you a blog instead of a slide show. So, if you don't like it don't use it. Obviously some - enough to be significant - do like them. I personally find them shallow and not very informative. However complaining about something you are not required to use, costs you nothing and cause no harm to anyone is just a waste of time and energy.

These are technically not "shell replacements." Shell replacements are shells that completely replace the explorer.exe process for a completely new GUI. Stardock does not have a product that does this. So technically speaking, the Stardock example in the images is incorrect for this slide show.
Jim? I asked the editor of this story if he HAD indeed used Stardock AKA Object Desktop, in the VERY first reply.
I use Classic Shell from sourceforge.net on my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. + It's a free download. + It provides the classic start menu that looks and acts like XP. + It offers a Windows Explorer toolbar with lots of really nice enhancements. + It has lots of custom settings so you can choose how it should look and work. + It's easy to configure the settings. When I click or hover over Start, my classic XP-style menu shows all the right things: app folders and apps that expand out with a click or a hover. The settings enable me to choose particular items to display as either a link or a menu, or not at all. I can set the menu, hover, and infotip delays. And the submenu column behavior, item order (with separators), and other Start menu features, as well as a backup/restore feature for saving all the settings to an XML file. But wait, there's more! Classic Shell provides a Windows Explorer toolbar with plenty of options that enable you to set it right. For example, my address bar always displays a regular backslash-delimited path instead of breadcrumbs. (I hate that breadcrumb interface, but you can set it if you like it.) I have the beloved Up-One-Level arrow. I have individual buttons for View details, View tiles, View large icons, and View extra large icons, so each option is available with a simple single click. (They're great for reviewing folders full of pictures.) There are plenty more configurable features and options. Download Classic Shell. You will like it.
Why on earth would anyone want to take an incredibly flexible and powerful Linux interface and paste it on top of nasty Windows 7 I just don't get. /mirror-troll ;-)
As for me, Aston be my shell at work from Windows NT 4 and till i forced to remove them by corp. policy few years above. But about your question - Aero GUI make my eyes feel sick very fast, and without them, W7 look just pure as they previous reincarnations.
I agree completely, but you can't tell some folks anything. They'd rather complain. TR does forget to include a non-slideshow version occasionally, but this wasn't one of those occasions.
I missed your comment, oh well

2. Make a deep side part and begin wrapping 2-inch sections of hair around a triple-barrel curling iron, curling hair in the same direction all the way around your head. (Don't have one of those gadgets? You can use a 3/4-inch curling iron, too -- just hold it sideways to get a zigzag-like, spiral curl.)

A project from Professor Katy Gray Brown's Philosophy of Civilization, "A for Anarchism: a Zine" is a magazine-styled short-story introduction to the political concept of anarchism. Themes include dismantling the misconceptions of anarchism, definitions of anarchism, anarchism in democracy, and profiles of anarchist founders and famous anarchist theorists.
A project from Professor Katy Gray Brown's Literatureof Nonviolence course presents another zine on telling the story of the Active Inclusive Movement (AIM). AIM is a collaborative student initiative working to create a more welcoming and inclusive Manchester University. Combating stereotypes and dismantling GLBT bullying and harrassment is the main objective of AIM.
During January-term, Professor Katy Gray Brown taught Peace Issues, which this year was entitled "Utopian Experiments,
Intentional Living Communities, and Countercultural Movements." A group of 13 traveled all
over the nation to study and dwell in intentional communities. The trip was full
of adventure, learning, soul searching, and conscientious and compassionate
community living. Above is a link to the ZINE (anarchist
scrapbook...small scale publication) to showcase the journey.
The intentional communities visited were New
Harmony in Southern Indiana, Shaker Village in Kentucky, Little Flower Catholic
Worker Farm in Virginia, Twin Oaks in Virginia, Acorn in Virginia, Koinonia Farm
in Georgia, Jubilee Partners in Georgia, and Idyll Dandy Acres (IDA) in
Tennessee. The class also witnessed in D.C. at a "20 Years of War in Iraq"
demonstration and teach in. While in Georgia the group also visited the Habitat for
Humanity headquarters in Americus, Georgia as well as met President Jimmy Carter
during his Sunday School and morning worship at his home congregation: Maranatha
Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia.

Turkey is high in protein and a great snack for four-legged family members. Feel free to add a small handful of lean turkey breast to your dog's kibble, or toss a couple of scraps to your cat. Be sure to hold on to those giblets, too. A turkey's organs are packed with vitamins and minerals that can help your pet stay healthy. But NEVER feed house pets turkey bones (or any poultry bones, for that matter).

I have never ever feed my dog real food, and my Vet hugs me every time I tell here that. The best thing about this is, she never begs, never takes a bite of pizza I leave it on the couch to run outside and take care of the kids. When Im cooking she is laying in her bed with no clue of food, she also never ever begs, so that means shes never under feet constantly starring at u from the time u go into start cooking to the time u clean up the plates, I love my dog and the Vet says I might get a extra year of life out of her for not feeding her human food.December 22 2013 at 2:17 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I just wish the slideshow had been a little more "This is great/okay/not good for dogs" AND "This is great/okay/not good for cats." For instance, the bit about green beans reads "Veternarians suggest replacing a portion of your dog's food . . . ." but says nothing about CATS. Does this suggestion also apply to cats or should this be just an occasional "treat" to add to their food?
And the bit about corn talks about the "canine diet" and "if your dog" but ignores cats. (Even with dogs, is corn as okay for smaller breeds like Chihuahuas and Dachshunds as it is for larger breeds like German Shepherds and Sheepdogs? Would you need to mash the corn for the smaller breeds--or cats--or are the kernels small enough to not pose a choking risk to smaller animals?)
And the squash. I'm guessing, from the picture, that it's referring to winter squashes (pumpkin, butternut squash, acorn squash) but does that also apply to summer squashes like zucchini and crookneck?
It's a decent enough article but it could've been better.

BRAVO... this is a very good article. I have been feeding a Bone and Raw Food diet to my dogs for 12 years and this is one of the first articles that was actually PRETTY DARN GOOD !!! Most tell you not to give several of these and you gave great reasons why you can give them to our dogs. Basically almost any veggie with the exception of a very few are ok. ONIONS are a NO NO in any shape or form. Cooked bones are a NO NO because they splinter can really cause major damage. My dogs sit and drool if they think they can get a baked potato skin or even baked sweet potato skins. THANK you for this good article and especially the hint about red beets. That's a good one. We'll have much healthier pets with your help.December 22 2013 at 5:46 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

J.D. CHARLES For The Logan Banner
October 4, 2013
It was a warm and sunny day on September 7 and members of the Logan Emergency Ambulance service Authority were out in the river… but they were not performing a search and rescue mission. Nor were they training. The LEASA stalwarts were assisting the Lions Club of Logan with their annual fundraising event, the 2013 Lions Club Rubber Duck Race.
"This is an event the Lions began doing several years ago as a fundraiser, because it was different and because nobody else was doing anything similar to it, it just caught on," explained one longtime Lions Club member. "It's a pretty good event. For a small donation you get a ticket… we paint your number from the tickets on the back of a rubber duck, even though they are now actually made of some high impact polymer. The day of the race the ducks are dropped into the Guyandotte and LEASA crews go out and gather them up. The first duck across the finish line is the big winner."
The grand prize for the duck race is $1,000.
"In the past we have had some elementary school age children win," noted Lion Roger Perry, who has been the club's top promoter of the event. Perry and other Lions can be found at Chief Logan State Park every summer where they promote the event to theatergoers at the Aracoma Story Inc. plays.
"This year we had another young winner," Lions President Chuck Puckett said. "This year's winner was Baxter Frye, Jim Frye's teenaged son. Duck number one was the winner."

+ - Sony Could Face Developer Exodus on PSN->
Submitted by donniebaseball23
donniebaseball23 writes: As the PlayStation Network outage continues, developers continue to feel the economic pinch. There's been no word from Sony on whether they'll compensate companies who produce games for PSN, but Capcom has already said it's losing potentially "millions" from the downtime. Worse yet, developers who rely on PSN revenues may jump ship if they aren't compensated, warns Dylan Cuthbert, creator of popular PSN game PixelJunk. "I have a feeling they [Sony] are thinking about doing something or they will lose developers which of course is pretty bad for them," he told IndustryGamers.

US says hot dog diplomacy still on with Iran
Why on earth are we still willing to invite a pack of murderous theocrats over for "dialogue" after the recent events in Iran?
Why do you reward regimes engaged in this sort of behavior with the sort of recognition and legitimacy that this sort of move gives them? Especially when it's not going to change their behavior.
Christopher Hitchens gets it, even if the current administration doesn't:
Persian Paranoia: Iranian leaders will always believe Anglo-Saxons are plotting against them.
1. There is nothing at all that any Western country can do to avoid the charge of intervening in Iran's internal affairs. The deep belief that everything—especially anything in English—is already and by definition an intervention is part of the very identity and ideology of the theocracy.
2. It is a mistake to assume that the ayatollahs, cynical and corrupt as they may be, are acting rationally. They are frequently in the grip of archaic beliefs and fears that would make a stupefied medieval European peasant seem mentally sturdy and resourceful by comparison.
3. The tendency of outside media to check the temperature of the clerics, rather than consult the writers and poets of the country, shows our own cultural backwardness in regrettably sharp relief. Anyone who had been reading Pezeshkzad and Nafisi, or talking to their students and readers in Tabriz and Esfahan and Mashad, would have been able to avoid the awful embarrassment by which everything that has occurred on the streets of Iran during recent days has come as one surprise after another to most of our uncultured "experts."
That last observation also applies to the Obama administration. Want to take a noninterventionist position? All right, then, take a noninterventionist position. This would mean not referring to Khamenei in fawning tones as the supreme leader and not calling Iran itself by the tyrannical title of "the Islamic republic." But be aware that nothing will stop the theocrats from slandering you for interfering anyway. Also try to bear in mind that one day you will have to face the young Iranian democrats who risked their all in the battle and explain to them just what you were doing when they were being beaten and gassed. (Hint: Don't make your sole reference to Iranian dictatorship an allusion to a British-organized coup in 1953; the mullahs think that it proves their main point, and this generation has more immediate enemies to confront.)
There is then the larger question of the Iranian theocracy and its continual, arrogant intervention in our affairs: its export of violence and cruelty and lies to Lebanon and Palestine and Iraq and its unashamed defiance of the United Nations, the European Union, and the International Atomic Energy Agency on the nontrivial matter of nuclear weapons. I am sure that I was as impressed as anybody by our president's decision to quote Martin Luther King—rather late in the week—on the arc of justice and the way in which it eventually bends. It was just that in a time of crisis and urgency he was citing the wrong King text (the right one is to be found in the "Letter From a Birmingham Jail"), and it was also as if he were speaking as the president of Iceland or Uruguay rather than as president of these United States. Coexistence with a nuclearized, fascistic theocracy in Iran is impossible even in the short run. The mullahs understand this with perfect clarity. Why can't we?

Jenkins: In Escondido, Abed commits first gaffe of likely 2014 mayoral campaign
Some elections don't end at the ballot box. They set the scene for the next world-changing election.
Already, speculation is feverish over 2016. Will Hillary seek her party's nomination to succeed Obama? Will Jeb take a shot despite his brother's tortured legacy?
In Escondido, anticipation for an epic 2014 title fight is already building: Sam vs. Olga.
In the most recent election, the table was set for a showdown on civic values, but it broke down when Don Greene, a long-shot ally of dissident Councilwoman Olga Diaz, finished third, out of the money.
In their wisdom, the voters in Escondido, just as they did in Oceanside, elected to split the partisan difference and restore the status quo, re-electing Diaz and granting a full term to Councilman Mike Morasco, who two years ago was appointed to the council.
If Greene had outpolled Morasco, an Abed ally, and joined Diaz on the council, an evenly divided council would have had to either compromise on an appointment to replace Councilwoman Marie Waldron, who is going to the state Assembly, or, as was more likely, hold a special tie-breaking election in which the city would decide who deserved to be the face of the council majority: Abed or Diaz.
As it was, the city postponed the definitive brawl two years.
Barring an unforeseen development, Diaz will run against Abed in the 2014 mayoral election, insiders close to Diaz believe.
This showdown has been in the tarot cards ever since Diaz first ran for the council in 2006, a brash newcomer railing against the Escondido council's heavy-handed attempts to purge unauthorized Latino immigrants.
Since her historic election in 2008, Diaz has been widely viewed as a shining North County star in the Democratic Party, a status that would be much enhanced if she were to unseat Abed and take over as Escondido's mayor.
For the time being, however, Abed has the gavel and Diaz, the only self-identified Latino council member in the city's history, remains the nettlesome thorn in his side, a constant reminder that the city is deeply divided over his leadership.
On Wednesday, Abed clumsily revealed how much Diaz's likely run is getting under his skin.
Check out the first gaffe of the 2014 campaign:
Two years ago, Abed proposed a tightening of the rules related to appointing the mayor pro tem, or deputy mayor.
The admirable idea, Abed said at the time, was "to take the politics out of the appointment" and establish a two-year term for the most senior council member who had not yet enjoyed the largely ceremonial role.
The immediate beneficiary of Abed's resolution was Marie Waldron, an Abed loyalist slated to run for an open Assembly seat. Though she would go on to win in a walk, Waldron benefited in the gravitas department when she affixed "Mayor Pro Tem" to her name. (Dave Roberts of Solana Beach enjoyed the same symbolic boost in his successful supervisor race against Steve Danon.)
Two years ago, Abed explicitly said that Diaz, if she were re-elected in 2012, would be in line for the appointment.

More cameras

Canon has announced a third-generation model of its mirrorless hybrid M range, cunningly named the EOS M3. Boasting features filtered down from Canon's new entry-level DLRs, including a 24.2Mp APS-C sensor, together with a redesigned shell for improved handling, has Canon delivered a hybrid camera that will excite enthusiasts?
The Sony NEX-5T is an update of the firm's NEX-5R model, introduced last year. It retains all of the features of its predecessor including the same 16-Mpix APS-C sized CMOS sensor but adds adding NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled WiFi. Read on to find out how well the camera performs.
Following on from the distinctive styling of the K-30, the new Pentax K-50 is a mid-range, sensitively priced DSLR featuring a tried-and-tested stabilized 16-MPix CMOS sensor with fine-tuned image processing and sensor sensitivity of up to ISO 51,200. Read on to see how well it performs in our labs.
The Samsung NX20 is a good 'Hybrid' APS-C camera, it is a pretty good APS-C camera, and actually it's not a bad camera by any standards! Unfortunately for the Samsung it is surrounded by other good cameras and needs something special to make it not just a good camera but a successful camera.
Launched in September 2011, the Samsung NX200 marks a significant point in the NX line because it features an all-new APS-C CMOS sensor with 20.3megapixels. Among the hybrid cameras, this is about as big as sensors currently get, so Samsung are aiming at the high ground, a fact confirmed by the premium feel all-metal body – a first in the NX-series.
Launched in January 2013 the Nikon 1 S1 is a new product line in the Nikon 1 Hybrid Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens series. Targeted at advanced through to expert enthusiasts after a lightweight camera for photography daytrips and holidays the Nikon 1 S1 features a clean minimalistic design. Utilizing a smaller sensor and lower resolution than most of the Hybrid competition though how will it fare in the DxOMark Sensor Scores?
Released just a month after being announced at CES 2013 alongside a new lower-end sibling (the Nikon 1 S1), the new Nikon 1 J3 now takes its place as the midrange model in Nikon's lineup of interchangeable lens compact cameras, with a list price of $599.95 (with a 10-30mm kit lens). The J3 is an update to the Nikon 1 J2, which came out only five months prior to the announcement of the J3 and S1 and had been the camera maker's lower-end offering.
Hybrid is a word used both positively and negatively, quite appropriate for the photographic industry. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 wears this badge: "Hybrid", a mix of system and compact. It has a range of lenses spanning 7mm to 300mm (equivalent to 14mm up to 600mm in full frame 35mm) and a body that is not much bigger than a compact camera. Should it wear it with pride? Yes, it should…
A noise benchmark of 187 digital cameras by Peter van den Hamer
DxOMark Camera Sensor is a raw benchmark for camera bodies by DxO Labs. The benchmark is "raw" because it measures image quality using Raw output files. It is also raw as DxO's data can be used to cook up camera reviews that cover more aspects than image quality.
Canon was the last major maker to embrace the hybrid or 'mirrorless' camera market. As a somewhat sober debut, designed for those who are new to photography, the EOS M adopts an 18-megapixel APS-C format in a compact body but boasts a number of advanced features including a 31-point hybrid AF system for stills and video and a touch sensitive 3-inch LCD. While it's clear this camera doesn't compete directly with the firm's DSLRs, how does it stack up against the competition that don't have the same volume of DSLR sales to protect?
Launched in October 2012, the Nikon 1 V2 is a not unexpected update to the Nikon 1 V1, which debuted in September 2011. The Nikon 1 Series cameras are hybrid cameras with interchangeable lenses. In the case of the V1 and V2, they fall at the upper end of the segment, offering more features and a higher performance level than their more consumer oriented brethren, the Nikon 1 J1 and J2.
Here is a new series featuring the results of Pentax prime lenses mounted on the compatible camera with the best resolution thus far, the Pentax K5. (But as usual, you can consult DxOMark to see the results for these lenses when mounted on other compatible camera bodies, such as the Pentax K7 or Km.)
Following the hybrid camera trend and after the limited success of the Pentax Q, Pentax is announcing today a new compact camera with interchangeable lenses, the Pentax K-01.

Please, explain to me what does "smoothed" mean (In measurments at iso 3200 and higher). Is that some kind of noise reduction, that affects raw files? Maybe i can read about this somewhere?

Re: \
It is noise reduction, and affects the raw file.

DR-greater than 12ev?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how can a sensor with 12bit ADC have more than 12ev of dynamic range in screen view? It seems like quantization noise alone should limit the dynamic range to 12ev. I can see how print view would add a half stop of range since in this case you averaging about 2 pixels to make one, so noise is sqrt2/2 of what is was before normalization. Anyway, if someone could explain how this 12bit sensor can have more than 12ev in screen view, it would be appreciated!

Re: DR-greater than 12ev?
GordonBGood, a photographic engineer, argues that if the ADC is properly dithered, an extra 1.8 EV DR is available i.e. a 12-bit system has a DR of about 13.8 EV
This topic is covered within this thread:
Added by MikeWhis | April 18, 2012
Re: DR-greater than 12ev?
You can map those 14 bits into 8 bits.
Added by dosdan | February 02, 2012
DR: K-01 vs K-5
The K-01 has 12-bit raw. So it's DR figure will probably not be at good as the K-5 at ISO100.
But in the real world, lens flare/glare will probably be the limiter of DR performance, not the sensor/PGA/ADC.

If the price of the f/2.8 version is a barrier, then this new f/4 model, despite its failings in some areas, is actually a good alternative, especially since it adds the benefits of the Image Stabilizer. However, the long-running EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens is also worthy of consideration. The extra focal range from 70mm to 105mm may well prove useful, even if you own a 70-200mm lens, having some overlap means you do not have to switch lens quite so frequently. If budget really is a concern, then it is also worth looking further down the Canon range. Even then often forgotten EF28-105mm f/3.5-4.5USM lens manages a DxOMark score of 17, but for substantially less money because of the lack of an IS motor and the variable aperture.
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.
The latest in the L series, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM is an ideal transtandard lens for reporting and can also make a good choice for portraiture. Versatile, it can also function as a macro with a reproduction ratio of 0.7x, Canon having worked hard to optimally match up the optical elements.
To website
Back in September Canon introduced the EOS 6D, its entry into the nascent 'compact, lightweight' full frame SLR segment. With the launch of the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM, Canon has now revealed what's destined to be its 'kit' lens. The newcomer is relatively compact in size to match the ethos of the 6D body design, but sports the company's premium 'L' series designation. However this comes with a price tag that's sure to make more than a few Canon users catch their breath - we've been told the the RRP will be $1499 / £1499.99 / €1459. What remains to be seen, though, is how much it will cost in a kit with the 6D body.

Re: I do not believe
Interesting point but you have to remember you're not really comparing apples to apples here. The link you provided compares a Canon f/4 VS Sigma f/2.8 which isn't a true apple's to apple's comparison. More like a peach and orange.
DXO Lab tests thousands of lenses under Strict controlled environments, I highly doubt they're fluffing up the test results. PLUS "IF" they were...what are they gaining from doing so?
Something to think about.

About this design:
This design came to mind when I wanted something different to wear with blue jeans. They were made from the strand of Brazilian Sodalite beads I got from Lima Beads. I also have a pair like this for sale on my etsy site CrazyBeadinSister's Designs.
Components:Brazilian Sodalite,Sapphire Swarovski Bicones, Sterling Silver Beads and S.S. head pins,and S.S. ear wires

Great little earrings from the sodalite strand. I also got a free strand of the squares and am waiting for the right spark to my inspiration to make them up. I think they really do need the silver and the blue crystals too. I'm trying to figure what else to add to them to make an unusual bracelet….
Beautiful color combo!
These are very pretty! Nice & simple, and they don't look as if they are to heavy to wear. I often have trouble with gemstone earrings because they are to heavy for me. I really like these.

An Everett woman in her 70s has died from a flu-related death, the Snohomish Health District reported Friday, and she is now the fifth Snohomish County resident to have died from severe influenza this month.
All but one death was in people over age 70, and all had underlying medical conditions in addition to the flu. Nationwide, more than 90 percent of flu season deaths are in adults over age 65.
Even when vaccinated, the elderly are more at risk to flu because their immune systems are weaker than in younger people, said Dr. Gary Goldbaum, health officer for Snohomish Health District. That's why flu vaccination is so important for people of all ages - so we don't spread flu to people who are most vulnerable.
Snohomish County has been hit with the flu harder this year than last. This year, nine longterm care facilities have reported flu outbreaks through Jan. 19. Last year, just one facility reported an outbreak. This year, the county reported 71 flu-related hospitalizations, while last year, just 39 residents were hospitalized and two flu-related were deaths reported.
This flu season appears to be the worst since H1N1 in 2009, when more than 100 people were hospitalized in Snohomish County, Goldbaum said. However, the current flu strain is most severe in seniors, while H1N1 caused deaths in younger people. We also have plenty of vaccine matched to the current strain this year.
People who are at high risk of flu complications, including seniors, pregnant woman, and young children, should contact a health provider immediately if they develop flu-like symptoms, including a cough, fever, sore throat, and body aches. Flu shots are recommended to protect yourself, even if you re healthy. A free vaccination clinic for uninsured adults will be available Jan. 26 at Comcast Skate Arena in Everett, Wash.

This Display-Keyboard (DSKY) was one of two installed in the Command Module of the Apollo 7 mission, the first US 3-man space flight, which flew in Earth orbit in October, 1968. The DSKY was the method by which Apollo astronauts communicated with the computers on board the Apollo Command and Lunar Modules. Astronauts instructed the computer by keying in numerical codes in a "verb - noun" sequence; e.g. "display velocity." The Apollo Guidance Computer performed critical functions needed to carry out a successful mission, especially on later missions when the astronauts were behind the Moon and out of radio contact with Earth.

US brands Al Nusra leader a 'terrorist', blacklists Syrian government officials and institutions
The U.S. government on Thursday blacklisted four Syrian government ministers, an airline and a television station it said helped the Assad government in its two-year crackdown on opposition forces.
The same day, the State Department labeled as a terrorist Mohammad al-Golani, for being the leader of the al-Nusra Front. The group is one of the most effective forces fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, but also pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri last month.
"Under Jawlani's leadership, Al-Nusra Front has carried out multiple suicide attacks throughout Syria," the State Department said in a statement, adding "many of these attacks have killed innocent Syrian civilians."
Jawlani "has stated in videos that his ultimate goal is the overthrow of the Syrian regime and the institution of Islamist sharia law throughout the country," it added.
The dual designations underline the quandary facing the United States, which favors Assad's overthrow but fears increasingly radical elements within the opposition.
Washington has imposed sanctions on Syria since the beginning of the increasingly violent two-year civil war in the country that has killed an estimated 80,000 people.
The U.S. Treasury Department said the government-owned airline, Syrian Arab Airlines, helped Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards ship illegal cargo - including rockets, anti-aircraft guns and ammunition - to aid the Syrian government.
The United States also accused the privately held Al-Dunya Television of assisting Assad's propaganda by airing forced confessions. Al-Dunya also helped the government disseminate fake weapons busts and arrest people it had interviewed, according to Treasury.
Treasury also blacklisted, or designated, four Syrian officials: the ministers of defense, health, industry, and justice, as part of its broader steps to stymie the government's activities. The defense minister, Fahed Jaseem al-Freij, hasbeen in charge of Syria's armed forces during air strikes and executions of civilians, according to the U.S. government.
"Treasury will continue to use all of the tools at our disposal to expose and disrupt the financial networks of those responsible for the Syrian government's egregious campaign to suppress its people," Treasury Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David Cohen said in a statement.
U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday said he may use a range of diplomatic and military options against Assad's government if he gets conclusive proof it used chemical weapons in the country's civil war.
The Obama administration has so far avoided arming opposition forces for fear weapons could find their way to Islamist hardliners who might use them against Western targets.
The new Treasury sanctions forbid U.S. citizens from any financial dealing with the officials and companies, and also freeze their assets within the United States. Although the officials are unlikely to hold money in U.S. banks, many foreign banks are also reluctant to deal with companies and people that have been blacklisted by the United States.
In 2011, the United States froze all Syrian assets in the United States and barred U.S. citizens from making new investments or exporting services to Syria. It has also imposed sanctions on Syria's government, central bank, oil companies and more than 100 other individuals.
The State Department labeled Nusra a terrorist organization back in December.
"By opting for the use of force against its own people, the Assad regime has created the circumstances that attract the violent extremists, who seek to exploit civil strife for their own purposes," the State Department said in a statement. "The sooner the political transition to a post-Assad Syria begins, the better it will be for the Syrian people and the region."
Top Headlines
In reading this article, I saw the comment: 'Jawlani "has stated in videos that his ultimate goal is the overthrow of the Syrian regime and the institution of Islamist sharia law throughout the country," it added.' I don't understand why any group or sect of people would feel they had entitlement to force their goals on other citizens. No one has that right. Those who wish Sharia law should buy property and build their own community and make it known that those on that property live this way and others who don't wish to live this way should look elsewhere for a place to live. What is so hard about that! Maybe I've never been an elected official and neither do I have a 'degree' in sociology, but being in the US in what is called a 'melting pot' of various cultural peoples spanning generations {mind you that we are not the only country like this}, we respect each other's culture to include social and religious events just as they do ours. All this takes is compassion and courage. Great Britain, the US, Canada, France, and all other countries manage to live peaceably without uprisings occuring on an ongoing basis. I respect what President Obama is trying to do, and why he would hold back in taking a much harsher approach with Syria's Bashar al Assad.
Most are wondering now, which countries are Really is the terrorists? Since 2002 there have been back to back wars ????

Perfumerias Avenida head coach Alberto Miranda:"USO Mondeville is a real team; the play very hard defense, as a team. It's a very agressive team. They built a very strong team and have luck in this competition. We didn't manage to develop our offensive game. We had a bad start and it was hard to come back."USO Mondeville head coach Herve Coudray:"We have a team with a defensive asset, we managed to stop the opponents, we followed the strategy we had planned. The team is developing its game, they know how to play together."USO Mondeville player Ingrid Tanqueray:"Two games, two wins; it's a good start. We have to win at home, it's good for our confidence.Salamanca is a good team but they have a lot of new players. Amanda [Lassiter] played well; scored points, had steals, rebounds. She is feeling well so she is playing good basketball."
Perfumerias Avenida guard Marta Fernandez"I agree with the coach that Mondeville won due to their impressive defense. On our part, it would have been hard to stick on the score."

The 55th annual Grammy Awards will be held today at Staples Center, recognizing outstanding achievement in the music industry. What better time to delve deeper into the history of some of the greats at these museum exhibitions?
Los Angeles:The Grammy Museum at L.A. Live celebrates the legacies of all forms of recorded music and the creative process of music-making. Permanent exhibits explore titans and significant events from rock and hip-hop to country, classical, Latin, rhythm and blues, and jazz. One-of-a-kind artifacts, films and interactive experiences entertain visitors.
Special exhibits this year highlight Whitney Houston and the Beach Boys. "Whitney!" provides an in-depth look at the icon who won six Grammys, through rare photographs and footage. The exhibit runs through May 27.
"Good Vibrations: 50 Years of the Beach Boys" shares early family photos, the surfboard featured on the "Surfin' Safari" album cover and Carl Wilson's Gibson ES-335 guitar. The group received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. That exhibit runs through September.
MORE INFORMATION: 213-765-6800 or grammy museum.org
Seattle:The Experience Music Project is a high-tech museum of rock music founded in 2000 by Microsoft's Paul Allen. The collection has more than 80,000 artifacts, including instruments once played by the likes of Bob Dylan and Bo Diddley.
Three special exhibits will take place this year. "Hear My Train a Comin': Hendrix Hits London" delves into the guitarist's launch to international stardom. Featured are lyrics, personal instruments, original photographs, rare concert footage and several of his most outrageous outfits, including custom-tailored jackets by Dandie Fashions, an enterprise that the Beatles later transformed into Apple Tailoring, plus the hat and purple scarf worn on the cover of the "Smash Hits" album.
Opening April 16, "Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses" will cover the public and personal story of the trendsetting Seattle trio within the context of the independent and underground music scenes of the '80s and early '90s. Memorabilia will include 200 artifacts, 100 oral histories, handwritten lyrics, tour props, the band's first demo recording from 1988 and a yellow cardigan often worn by Kurt Cobain in 1991-94. There will be media lounges, listening stations, record walls, an original exhibition soundtrack by producer Steve Fisk and an audio guide narrated by bassist Krist Novoselic.
The final exhibit, "Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power," runs June 15-Sept. 22. Outfits and artifacts from performers including Madonna, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and more will be on display. There will be recordings of exclusive interviews, and listening stations.
MORE INFORMATION: 877-367-7361 or emp museum.org
Cleveland:At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum, visitors learn about giants of popular music, from James Brown and Bob Marley to the Who, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers and scores more. Visitors can hear more than 500 songs that helped shape history.
"Grateful Dead: The Long, Strange Trip" will be open until April 12, tracing the 30-year career of a band that wrote its own rules through manuscripts, handwritten notes and artifacts from former roadies and devoted fans.

This pet is a free gift for purchasing the Burning Crusade Collector's Edition. This edition is no longer sold in stores, however it had a sizable print run and can often be found on auction websites. While this is a rare pet, it's not quite as rare as the original Collector's Edition pets.
I have played WOW for a couple years now. Started online and never purchased anything but game time. I would for pets. If I buy ce on eBay I get this pet. Is that right?

I bought the CE on Ebay. You can't upgrade your account to CE through battle.net so you need to send a couple of things to France (EU). I had already thrown away the paper on the backside of the CE but luckily I managed to find it (stuck between an old diaper and some iceberg lettuce).

You PM'd me to say who you were and that the advice given here could be trusted. So, I hung around and followed the member's advice. That was one of the best investing decisions I have ever made.
Following the advice of Jack Bogle, Taylor and Mel has put you on the right track. Those guys are in it for the right reasons. Their mission is helping the small investor rather than stuffing their own pockets.

As a follower of Ben Graham, he evaluates stocks from the bottom up, buying undervalued stocks that are typically also out of favor.

Sign ups this year is going slow, only 285 so far. Usually by now there is 500+ already signed up and counting but I guess a # of factors might be the problem. Hope that things pickup!
Probably because it's a 3 day event this year.
Eric Gallusser
I like the 3 day idea! I always hated that the player's that made the final 9 had to play in the dark and we always left BG around 9 pm toward home and that sucked. It is the only way to solve the problem and to get players on there way home in a decent time.
I like the three day format. Especially since Bowling Green is so close.
I won't be able to play because it is a three day.

The Diamondback Sortie 29er 2.0 demonstrates that you no longer need to sacrifice. If you haven't made the leap to a 29" bike yet, now is the time. 29" wheels allow you to roll over obstacles more easily than 26" wheels. A larger wheel allows the rider to carry momentum through obstacles. Lastly, the larger diameter wheels are less prone to sinking in the sand and mud, due to lower ground pressure.
The Sortie 29er was inspired by the Sortie 26" platform. Diamondback wanted to retain the essence of the 26" platform with the added benefits of the 29" platform. Diamondback was successful; the 2013 Diamondback Sortie 29er is a lean mean trail-riding machine. The responsive nature of the suspension design allows you to spend half the day riding up the side of the mountain and the other half riding back down.
The Dimaondback Sortie 29 2.0 begins with 6061 T6 Weapons Grade Aluminum with hydroformed top tube, a butted and formed downtube, a seatstay bridge, tapered headtube, and a 142x12mm E-Thru Axle drop out. Every aspect of the frame was built to be strong and durable without breaking the scale. The tapered headtube improves handling abilities and is stronger, which is essential for aggressive riders. The E-Thru Axle is strong and adds stability and rigidity to the rear end.
The Sortie 29er features Diamondback's legendary Knuckle Box suspension design. Knuckle Box suspension is a single- pivot four- bar suspension platform. There are many benefits with this suspension design including better small bump compliance and improved tracking and cornering. The Sortie 29er 2.0 runs the Fox Shocks Float with CTD technology and Boost Valve. The Boost Valve provides the feeling of endless travel, like a downhill bike. Fox Shocks CTD (Climb Trail Descend) suspension technology allows you to adjust your shock on the fly to adjust to the terrain you are riding. Zip and zoom through single track without a care in the world. The nimble geometry allows you to clear tight corners, maneuver around ruts, roots, and sticks, without dropping a foot for balance. No matter what mountain bike trail you may find yourself on, the Sortie 29 2.0 will ensure you're having fun.
The Diamondback Sortie 29er 2.0 was paired with high end components that are performance oriented and durable. Diamondback worked closely with Fox to custom tune the rear shock to work perfectly with the Sortie. Diamondback also paired the Sortie 29er 2.0 with the Fox 32 Float CTD 29 RL fork. The Fox Shocks fork provides 120mm of buttery smooth suspension. The CTD (Climb Trail Descend) technology allows the rider to adjust their fork on the trail for the varying terrain. Since adjusting the fork is quick and easy, riders are able to adjust the fork to each section of the trail for optimal performance. The 15mm thru axle rids the front end of any lingering flex. As you're sticking the jump or swishing through the single track, your front end will remain stiff. The Shimano drivetrain provides reliable results and is durable. The Shimano SLX shifters paired with the Shimano SLX front derailleur and Shimano XT Shadow rear derailleur provide unparalleled shifting performance. Shift through each gear with confidence. The WTB Speed Disc wheels feature a wide profile that improves the tire's contact patch. The Speed Disc features sealed cartridge bearings that work well in all weather conditions. WTB Speed Disc is prided on its strength and durability. The cockpit features Easton components. The Easton EA50 handlebar and stem are strong and allow you to torque on the bar during a harsh climb without fear of snapping it. Each component that Diamondback selected for the Sortie 29er 2.0 was chosen for its magnificent performance as well as durability. The Sortie is a bike you will keep for years to come, and will provide fun and enjoyment for many, many seasons.
Diamondback full suspension mountain bikes are known for their Knuckle Box suspension design. The Knuckle Box, or Bell Crank, is Diamondback's single- pivot four- bar suspension platform. The ideally placed pivots create a low leverage ratio which creates superior pedaling efficiency and small bump compliance. By placing the Knuckle Box low within the frame, the bulk of the weight is closer to the bottom bracket. This lowers the bike's center of gravity which helps to improve tracking and cornering. The four bar suspension design further increases control over wheel- rate. Wheel rate is the effective spring rate when measured at the wheel. Diamondback worked closely with Fox Suspension to optimize the wheel rate to be linear to slightly progressive. This results in small bump compliance, more perceived travel, and bottom- out protection.
Since 1978, Diamondback has been at the forefront of innovative bicycle design. Diamondback produces bicycles suitable for every rider type. Whether you are an avid road cyclist looking for the newest, lightest frameset on the market, or crushing the downhill trails of Moab, or just looking to cruise the boardwalk, Diamondback has a bike to suit your needs. Diamondback believes that every bike they produce is a reflection of who they are. Therefore, each bike that rolls out of Diamondback's factory embodies their core values which are precision, durability, and integrity.
