- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Way, way back in time I was visiting a friend whose mom had just gotten a newfangled cutting board. It was ceramic and it was made by Corning. We were geeking out about it a bit (it was so novel) and then my friend tells me the coolest thing about it is that it's unbreakable, upon which he grabs the thing and throws it on the floor. You guessed it. About five thousand pieces.

Good for your mum. Glass 'cutting boards' ruin your knives.
I was silly enough to buy a cool looking marble one once. It ruined my knives. Never again.
You can now buy cutting boards made if bamboo. Never buy these either; they are pretty hard too. Soft wood is the best.

Ceramic cutting board? The boards to cut vegetables and meat? Why not wood, then you can even throw it on the floor.
Cutting on wood (and plastic boards) creates grooves and other uneven markings on the surface. So cleaning an old board is a bit harder. Tiny bits of organic material (especially if it is meat) can collect there, if you are not careful (although, if you put it in a dishwasher everytime, it should not matter), and act as breeding grounds for microbes. This won't matter much if the food later cut on it is cooked, but can matter if it is served raw, as in salad vegetables. Glass and Ceramic are much easier to
Seriously, look it up.
Also, with a wood cutting board if the surface gets beat up over time just scrape it back down with a card scraper or use sandpaper (just look out for grit embedded in the wood which will do bad things to knife blades).
Well, see, you have a choice. If the cutting board is softer than your knife, you will create grooves in the surface that are hard to clean. If the cutting board is harder than your knife, then you will be dulling and ruining your blade with every cut.
Most people prefer to have softer cutting boards, because it is easier to clean them than it is to replace expensive knives.
If the board is made of wood, just rub it with a generous handful of salt and enough water to make a paste. You'll sand the indentati

Clearly the answer is a cutting board made out of knife blades.
Except that wood releases substances that are practically antibiotic, where cut. And you can actually plane them again. Or put them in a dishwasher, or pour boiling water over them, or just burn them in your fireplace. Or just be happy that you are using such a wonderful material, which won't even harm your knives. Whatever. I have never seen any reason NOT to use wooden cutting boards.

At that point, get a new board.
Seriously though, a decent wood board will take years to get into that state. Same with plastic. Cheap wood/plastic boards will only take a few weeks.
The alternative is using metal or glass, which ruins knives. There's just no easy way around it and good boards cost less than good knives.
Augh. I did not realize that this would attract this much attention. So let me answer some of the over-the-top responses I got.
I was a busy foreign grad student with few cooking skills (It's cheap to eat out where I come from and now I don't need to cook) and prepared food in a hurry. I got nearly all my knives and boards for free. The wooden board already had grooves. No, nothing seemed to happen to it as I put it in the dishwasher for years. I had no idea what kind of wood it was or how long it had
I think they mean it's unbreakable under normal circumstances (such as dropping it on the floor, as opposed to throwing it). Obviously, if you set out to break something, you're going to be able to do it. Those specialty ceramics certainly are hard to break, I've used them for years and I've only ever broken one bowl. But when they break, they break into a million pieces.

I leave my protector on a new phone for a few months until it's gets too scratched. Then I remove it. Removed it from my current phone about 3 weeks ago after using for over 6 months with it on. So far so good.

That's the reason why I use clear sealing tape as a screen saver for my phone (and a portable GPS for my car). That and an X-Acto Knife.
It looks and works in exactly the same way, costing next to nothing, being easily replaceable when needed and doesn't take any more time than the original product — which i would buy, if it wasn't for the fact it's an unforgiving product (at a sucker price) if I made a mistake with its application.
How do you use a portable GPS as a screen saver for your car? Or an X-Acto knife as a screen saver, for that matter?
I use Rain-X on top of the screen protector. It works wonders for resisting fingerprints, and lasts for a long time as long as you only use clean water when wiping it - never alcohol.
Carnuba hard wax is even better, but you have to mask the edges and speaker hole with tape until it's buffed, or you'll get white residue. Apply 2-3 times, and you'll have the slickest and clearest display pos

While the ability to change it if it gets scratched is a bonus, not having reflections when looking at the screen is its main purpose. Ten months and am still on the initial one.
Yes this! I've had these on my tablet and phone since I got them - tablet nearing two years old, and phone a year old. Haven't had to replace any of them yet!
My kingdom for matte screens!
I had a nice screen protector on my Galaxy Nexus. A few months ago it started peeling off and since I was going to upgrade soon I just pulled the thing off.
Used the phone the same same way I always did - mostly having it rattle around in my pocket - for three months. Not a scratch on it. The screen still looks perfect.
That said I did just get a new phone and I put a screen protector on that one. It's new, I figure I may as well. At least until I'm used to the phone.

I always kid myself into thinking that a screen protector helps against breaking the glass when the phone falls. Until now it seems to work.
Hehe. I'm more worried about it getting scratched while just being in my pocket or, you know. Sitting on a table. It's not like I ever put the phone in the same pocket as my keys or a leatherman or anything. With any decent current phone I really don't need a screen protector... but you know, it's a new phone, I may as well pretend.
I often find my S3 is in my pocket with some loose change that I don't get often enough to think about what pocket I put it in. Sometimes with my keys just due to forgetting sometimes someone elses phone I was asked to carry. I throw it on the table and drop my keys on it almost daily. It's about 6-8 months old and is just fine. My older droid X had the same treatment for over 3 years with no noticeable scratches.

I honestly do not get how some people break screens all the time. I have dropped my phone maybe 3 times in the past 2 years. Granted any one of those drops could have broke the screen but didn't. Most people go through phones so fast, I don't see the point in protecting it more than just taking good care of it in your pocket and take it out of pocket if you are doing activities that could damage it.
It's because they take their phone with them when they go out getting very drunk. Sooner or later it's gonna get smashed like that.

I've seen the texts that my phone sends, it's way more smashed than I am.
It really depends on the phone. My Nexus S has been dropped a dozen times without issue. My wife has been through an iPhone 4 and a Nexus III. Larger phones don't seem to like being dropped.
Screen protectors are different... There's all kinds of shit in my pockets that can scratch even gorilla glass. Plus, the screens are oil resistant, which is nice.

Are you carrying around a bunch of diamonds, or what? The hardness of gorilla glass is about 9, there's not much harder. Steel is between 4-5, glass is 7, diamonds are 10. Hardness is scratch resistance, and has nothing to do with shatter resistance however. Nothing will stop it from shattering if it hits at the wrong angle.
Up to my ears in tablets, laptops, phones, and other displays. Never scratched a single one. I put stuff in cases if I leave the house (yes, I'm that guy who still carries his phone in a holster, not his pocket) and otherwise I'm just careful.
My phone doesn't need Gorilla glass to be very durable, It simply has a small screen.
It can last without recharging for more then a week of normal use.
And it can take quite a beating, (my wife washed hers 3 times)
It's not very good for surfing the internet or taking pictures but it is a much better phone then any "smart" phone.

Look mom, an oxymoron!
Gorilla glass does need protecting, just not from minor scuffing. I have a couple of deep gouges in my phone's screen from my keys when I made that mistake.
So don't put your phone in the same pocket as your keys. That's a lot simpler than putting a light blocking, grainy looking, bubble forming, high friction piece of plastic over the screen.
Keys in the right phone in the left. I have yet to scratch my phone I'm still rocking out the original galaxy S... It's time to upgrade but at least I'll get a newer version of Gorilla Glass.
I get that - i referred to it as a 'mistake.' =)
Ditto. I though Gorilla glass was rated on the hardness scale as being between 7 and 9. Apparently it has the same hardness as sapphire. While a grain of sand is enough to scratch it, I didn't think brass keys could. So where in the hell are all these scratches coming from. There not noticeable unless I look for them with the screen turned off. And when I find them, I can fell them with my fingernail along the groove.
Sand or grit on the keys or keyring, or grit brought into your pocket from other stuff you carry around.
I have this leather case, so when I drop my phone it protects whole of it. Never really cared about safeguards from wear on normal usage... tho I wish now that I didn't use that night clock - it burned into my screen.
My Android phones that will not respond to finger pressure if there is a screen protector, I just use a "Ballistic" case which is good enough for most things.
My iPhones, I use a Otterbox Defender for their cases. It does add substantially to the size of the phone, but after years of constant use/abuse, the devices I have don't have any scratches/dents/cracks on them. I'm lucky enough to have not shattered the screen, but there always is a first time.
I use screen protectors on any device with a stylus. Gorilla glass is good enough for everything else (including my phone).
I use matte screen protectors on my phone and my tablet - because the idiots that design them think shiny screens are a good idea. However, having a screen protector on my phone paid off in another way, when i dropped it and broke the glass. The screen protector makes it less of an issue than it would have been without it.
I have a cheap protector on my phone screen for scratches. I have a better hard plastic screen protector on my DLSR, so if the camera smashes into anything hopefully the plastic will break and save the screen. Total cost for both was under $10.
That's why I use a screen protector on my phone
My digital cameras have protection. My previous phone did and needed it. I used it without a screen protector for the last six months of its life and it looks like it ran into an angry belt sander in a dark alley and I never kept it in my keys/change pocket. It got tore up by pocket lint. My current phone, Galaxy Nexus, doesn't need it and doesn't have it. The front of the phone looks pristine aside from one tiny scratch outside the display area. Same with my Nexus 10 tablet, tho only for about six mo
I bought a few packs of screen protectors when I first got my first Android cell phone a few years ago, but they were a royal pain in the ass to cut down to size and replace so I just gave up. They're just not worth the trouble. By a month or so I was done with them and returned the remaining packs to the store. It's definitely not worth the price asked.
I have a screen protector on my iPad that makes the screen matte, to avoid the glare. Of course that ruins the 'retina' resolution, but I don't care about that.

People keep grimy, grungy screen protectors on their phone the entire time they have them.
They have this beautiful, pristine sheet of glass they're "protecting"... and they never actually see it or get to touch it.
It kinda bothers me.
I'm using screen protector on one of my phones because the phone came with glossy screen. Adhesive sheet of plastic was only option to get matte display.
I used one on my iPhone 3GS that I bought a few years ago. It made it look pretty bulky. It got super scratched up and all, ended up looking pretty shoddy. I was considering getting a new phone, when I just took the screen protector & case off, and it looked so brand-new and shiny that I was like screw it, I'll keep using this one for a bit.
So it's like having 2 brand-new phones in one!
Screen protectors don't just protect the screen from scratches. They also improve the touch interface by increasing friction.
I love the feel of a super-slippery screen.
I've never had the glass on any of my phones get a single scratch on it, while the screen protectors scratch easily.
So if you use a protector, you end up using a perpetually scratched screen because of your attempt to keep from scratching the screen? Makes no sense.
Gorilla glass is by no means scratch or break proof. however I tend to churn through my phones every 12-18 months so I don't give a crap if it gets scratched and I prefer not having bulky covers or films over my screen. Only broken 1 screen in the past 5 years and that was just as I was due for a new one anyway.
Ordered a packet of new screen protectors, because the current one was looking pretty awful after 18 months in my pocket.
Some weeks after the promised delivery date, they hadn't arrived, so I emailed the seller. They sent them out again. The package arrived the next day(!).
I destroyed two of the damn things trying to get them to line up, finally getting the desired result with the last one.
Two days later, I put a huge scratch right across it.
Two days after that, another packet of screen protectors arrived :
A lot of employees at the banks I work in are mandated to "protect internal company information by all means reasonably possible, especially when not on company premises". For mobile devices that have access to corporate email, this means using polarising privacy filters on their phones, so that the viewable angle of the screen is cut down drastically.

No matter how clear these stick-on things are advertised, they're never as clear as just the gorilla-glass. Either you see that oily / multi-color bit, it's never on right, it starts to peel from the sides, there's the smallest air-bubble that you can't get out, etc. Or even some of the great ones I see, still aren't as clear as a regular screen that you just maintain.
I'd rather just put a very slim silicone case on it to cover the edges and help prevent drop damage. With the SMALLEST LIP possible above
In Soviet Russia screen protects you.
I protect the screens on my digital cameras and mp3 players. My phone, tablets, etc. do not get protected as Gorilla Glass is tough enough to last 3 to 5 years before I need a new device.
Don't understand these screen protectors. If I put one on the screen it'll still keep the mosquitoes out, but it'll also keep the cool breezes out of my kitchen, in which case what's the point of having a screen instead of just a window? Stupid new-fangled fads.

Classical Civilizations
The Department of Classical Civilizations - one of the oldest at our University - provides undergraduates with access to over 2,500 years of human experience drawn from the multicultural world of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East.
Coursework emphasizes the history, material culture, mores, and values of the societies that have helped shape Western civilization, drawing attention to the significant achievements of the past and the considerable impact of their legacy upon the present.
The department offers both a B.A. major (36 credits) and a B.A. minor (23 credits) degrees in Classical Civilizations. All majors and minors are required to complete two (2) upper division CLAS courses as part of the degree, as well as a minimum of at least three (3) language courses in either Latin or Greek at the Introductory (100) and Intermediate (200) levels. Students who elect to pursue a major degree in this program must choose a focus in either Latin or Greco-Roman Civilization and complete five (5) elective courses among those listed in the current catalogue as well as a senior thesis (CLAS 499) appropriate to the chosen concentration. Minors are required to select three (3) upper level electives from among those listed in this catalogue. The electives encompass a range of disciplines, including history, archaeology, philosophy, religious studies, and intermediate and advanced Latin and Greek. Majors are required to include at least one (1) course in Greek culture and one (1) course in Roman culture from among the elective offerings. Participating students are thus required to complete a balanced curriculum divided between the study of ancient languages (Latin, Greek) and their contemporary societies. Through this combined focus, students gain a broader comprehension and appreciation of the rich cultural and humanistic heritage stemming from the classical world. The ancients themselves embraced this model of liberal arts education; according to the Roman orator Cicero, such cultural and historical study "illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquity."
The program's courses are by nature interdisciplinary, with application to the sciences, art, theater, literature, philosophy, religion, politics, and government. Moreover, through addressing relevant issues of gender, ethnicity, and interaction between cultures, the curriculum reaches well beyond the borders of Greece and Rome to embrace other civilizations across the world and time. By immersing students in an examination of the languages and ethnically diverse societies of antiquity, the program prepares them for careers within a world that is increasingly multicultural, interdependent, and global in outlook, in such fields as politics, ethics, business, law, sciences and education.

We loathe giving Aflac any more media attention than they have already received, but we can't keep our mouths shut about the recent PR stunt they pulled. If you haven't yet heard, Aflac recently let a duck loose into a busy New York City subway station and began tweeting about it, ruffling our feathers in the process! The duck, representing their famed mascot, drew quite a bit of attention—but at what cost?
NYC subway stations are noisy, crowded, and let's face it, pretty dirty places. The hazards that could have harmed our small feathered friend are too numerous to count. We're appalled that Aflac would pull such a stunt.
Do you think this PR stunt went too far? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

The NY city subway can be a horrifying place for an adult, I can not even imagine what it was like for this poor duck!!
I will never buy their insurance. Animals are not to be used for profit.
The Bastards will never ever get any business from me period!!!
So, since we are on a VERY biased site. I'll keep this short. Did you ever stop to think that maybe AFLAC took all safety precautions necessary as not to have any harmful backlash? I'm sure they did as AFLAC is a very large entity. Just a thought.
Apparently, they did NOT, since the tranportation authority there knew nothing about it and they would have to clear it FIRST. And calling AFLAC yesterday got noting but a lot of phone transfers double talk and NO MENTION that the duck had a handler or any assurances of this having been planned carefully. AFLAC was caught with their pants down over a really DUMB stunt.
Don't assume that just because a company is large that they do the right thing. Most times, when they are large, they think they can get away with stuff.

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- For the second time in four days, Miami rallied from a pair of early deficits only to fall in walk-off fashion. Xavier scored a run in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the RedHawks 7-6 Wednesday in the third-place game of the Joe Nuxhall Classic.
Miami (14-15) trailed 5-0 after three innings and 6-5 after seven but evened the score both times. Chad Sedio tied his career-high with three hits, including a double, and had a sacrifice fly, while John Crummy and Jake Romano had two hits apiece.
In the decisive frame, Daniel Rod led off with an infield single off the arm of Miami's pitcher Charlie Suich. After a sacrifice bunt, Joe Forney laced a liner to center for the game-winner.
Xavier (15-15) used back-to-back two-out doubles to open a 1-0 lead in the first. The Musketeers added three in the second, starting with three straight hits and adding a two-out walk and single, to chase Miami starter Brian Ghiselli. A pair of one-out singles, followed by a double down the left field line, added another run in the third.
But Miami clawed back. Scott Slappey led off the fifth with a double to center and took third on a bunt single by Romano. Matt Honchel, who earlier in the day extended his hitting streak to 14 games, flied out to center to bring home Slappey. Kevin Bower singled to load the bases, before Crummy ripped a double down the line in left to make the score 5-3. A sacrifice fly brought home Bower, then Crummy crossed the plate on a wild pitch to tie the game.
Xavier retook the lead in the sixth on a leadoff single, sacrifice and blooper to right, but the RedHawks capitalized on two errors in the eighth to retie things at 6-6. Sedio doubled to start the frame, but a failed sacrifice kept him at second. Max Andresen hit a hard shot that got under the first baseman's glove, then made it all the way to third when the ball got away from the right fielder. But a lineout against a drawn-in infield and strikeout prevented the go-ahead run from scoring.
Miami used six pitchers in the game, capped by Suich, who suffered the loss to fall to 0-1. Jacob Bodner, who pitched the eighth and ninth for Xavier, earned the win to improve to 1-1.
After completed a string of nine straight games away from Oxford, Miami returns home for a key Mid-American Conference series against defending champion Kent State. The RedHawks are 7-2 in league play and in sole possession of first place. At 6-3, the Golden Flashes are a game-behind in the East Division.
Games are set for 6 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Gold Indian Beaded Bangle Bracelets, Set of 9 8 8
The set of bangles brings India to my house!! It's awesome! It reminds me about Indian culture and Art whenever I see them. It takes people's attention when I have them on my wrist. March 11, 2014
Beautiful bangles! These bangles were very inexpensive and are beautiful to wear! I've received many compliments from friends. Fun to accessorize with clothing! May 17, 2013
Stylish and Affordable! I love piling these bangles on to add a splash of fun to an otherwise standard outfit. They go with everything. Sometimes I will use just a few of them while other times I use the whole set. I get compliments on them every time I wear them, and have always bought two sets as gifts! They do occasionally snag on clothing, so I just make sure not to wear them with anything that's very delicate. December 15, 2011
Too small The colors of the bracelets go with anything which was what I was looking for. They are very hard to get on and off. They are a little small. February 1, 2013
size Russian roulette not happy about the bangles sizes or the lack of option to choose a size. This was supposed to be a Christmas gift and now I don't know what to do, it's not going to fit her at "S/M". If anything, the choice of a size option would have been nice, if anything considerate. December 17, 2014
Size? These gold bracelets came labeled "L/XL" and fit fine. The silver ones came labelled with "S/M" sticker even though there are no size options on the website to choose from. Cross your fingers and hope you get the right size when you order this. January 3, 2014
Beautiful, but very small I thought these bracelets were gorgeous when I saw them in store, but wish I had taken the chance to try them on/get them in the store. When they came, they were so small I simply could not get them on (I wouldn't say I have overly large hands). In addition, some of the jewels had already popped off before I opened the package. Disappointing - but I was able to use them for something else instead of jewelry. I have bought other jewelry from World Market and they have all been wonderful. May 17, 2013
very pretty but missing many beads I purchased two sets of bangles, unfortunately for gifts. Each arrived missing half the beads. This was visible without removing them from the bags they were in, so I'm not certain why they were sent. And the beads were not in the bags so they were packaged that way. December 28, 2011

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.
Designed specifically for use on smaller APS-C sensor DSLRs, the new EF-S 24mm is a wide-angle pancake prime featuring Canon's STM step autofocus motor for smooth video capture. At just $149, it looks like a "no-brainer" for Canon APS-C video shooters, but how does it compare optically against a vast range of other options available? We dissect the DxOMark Lens Metric Scores to find out.
This is the second and final part of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D. This time we've assessed zoom lenses from both the Canon and third party makers to see how well they perform on the camera, and like before we'll not only reveal the best performers but also take a closer look at the more accessibly priced options.
In the first part of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D, we've assessed a raft of primes from both the maker and third parties to see how well they perform on the camera. As well as highlighting the best performers we've also taken a closer look at the best on a budget.
As a more modestly priced alternative to the EF 24-70mm f2.8L II USM and with a longer reach than the newer stabilized EF 24-70mm f4L IS USM, the similarly stabilized EF 24-105mm f4L IS USM remains a popular model for Canon users.
As a new addition to the Art-series, the Sigma 24-105mm f4 DG OS HAS looks promising, but can the firm replicate the image quality of their recent 35mm f1.4 and 18-35mm f1.8 models? Read on to find out.
Sigma's move away from the value-end of the market has resulted in some very high-quality yet sensitively priced lenses such as the full-frame 35mm f1.4 HSM A and this lens, the APS-C format 18-35mm f1.8 DC HSM. While we've previously reviewed the Canon mount version, Sigma has just released the lens in Nikon mount and we were curious to see if the performance could be repeated. Read on to find out.

Sigma has a long history as a lens maker, having been founded over 50 years ago. In the film era it was best known for relatively inexpensive lenses that undercut the camera makers' own equivalents in terms of price. But this has changed over the part decade or so; while other companies have shifted manufacturing to cheaper locations such as China and Thailand, Sigma has stubbornly refused to move from its factory in Aizu, Japan. This means it can no longer compete in the same way on price alone, and it's therefore switched its focus towards higher-value offerings.

Introduced in July this year, the EOS 70D at first sight seems like a regular update to the maker's mid-range EOS 60D model. It shares a number of features with the firm's existing SLR range including a 19-point cross-type phase detection AF system, a 3-inch (1.040M dot) articulated touchscreen and built-in WiFi connectivity with remote viewing and image transfer. The camera can also shoot at up to 7fps and has 1080/30p video recording with stereo sound using an optional external microphone.
When launched, the EOS-M complete with the EF-M 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom was $899, but the kit can now be had for as little as $345. With lens available separately for $269 that sounds too good to be true. Read on to see how well the combination performs.

We've just updated our preview of the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM with lens test data, courtesy of DxOMark. This lens has generated a lot of excitement as the fastest zoom ever made for SLRs, but the big question is whether its speed comes at the cost of optical quality. We've looked into this by comparing the 18-35mm to some current benchmark designs - and the results may surprise you

Sigma made waves when it announced the 18-35mm F1.8 zoom lens a few months back, they made waves again when they announced that the price was only going to be $799. Now this lens is impressing even more with the latest DXOMark results, which place this lens as the highest performing APS-C Zoom they have ever tested.

After the runaway success of the full-frame 35mm f/1.4, Sigma is taking the initiative with this new ultra-high speed, pro-level standard zoom designed for APS-C format cameras. The specification is particularly promising, but does it mean the end of fixed focal lenses for APS-C? Read on to see how well this cutting-edge model performs in our labs.
After comparing the imaging chain of the full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mk III across a raft of lenses, we've now turned our attention to the APS-C format EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i. The 18.1-Mpix 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor in this camera is similar to those of the same size and pixel count used in the firm's other models, including the semi-pro EOS 7D, so it may still be of interest even if you don't own a EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i.

Could you provide the sharpness perceptual Mpixel numbers for Canon 70D
Since in the sharpness P-Mpix graph the same color code is used for > 12 P-Mpixs, could you provide the sharpness perceptual Mpixel "numbers" for Canon 70D for the 5 measured points @ F4?

1.8T Stop Transmission is Suspect
DXO Mark rates the Sigma 18-35mm F/1.8 as (T1.8) and the Canon EF 24mm F/1.4L II as (T1.6) so I'm thinking great, not a huge difference, just 1/3 Stop so perhaps I can sell the Canon 24mm.
Wrong - The Canon EF 24mm F/1.4L II is much brighter than the Sigma 18-35mm on my Canon 60D or Blackmagic Cinema Camera. Easily more than a full stop. In fact the Canon 24mm is still brighter at F/2 than the Sigma 18-35mm at F/1.8
The Sigma 18-35mm is a great lens, but don't be fooled into thinking it can replace an F/1.4 lens in low light situations.

Canon EF 16-35 f/2.8L II USM

This a comment for this page on the website
For an even more painful comparison, take a look at it vs. the Canon EF 16-35 f/2.8L II USM (below). I have the 16-35 and it has its uses, but it's not even close to this new Sigma. I'm full frame x 2 now, but this alone on my old 7D would have probably made me keep that camera.

The Case Against Intelligent Design
You can't really be scientifically literate if you don't understand evolution, and you can't be an educated member of society if you don't understand science.
-Eugenie Scott
In the first two presentations in the series on intelligent design microbiologist Michael Behe and mathematician and philosopher William Dembski argued that Darwinian evolutionary theory cannot account for the variety and complexity of living things. The findings of modern natural science, they maintain, demonstrate intelligent design in nature. This position is highly controversial, and no one has played a larger public role in critiquing intelligent design than Eugenie C. Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, Inc., a pro-evolution nonprofit science education organization.
In this conclusion of the Athenaeum's Intelligent Design series, Scott will argue that during the 1980s and 1990s intelligent design theory has succeeded brilliantly in positioning itself in the body politic, but that it is virtually ignored in the scientific literature, appearing in a desultory way in the philosophy of science literature. According to Scott, intelligent design theory has gained a lot of momentum because it allows religion, labeled as science, to sneak into schools through the back door.
Dr. Scott is frequently called upon by the print, radio, and television media to present "the scientific view" when conflicts arise between scientific and pseudoscientific explanations, including appearances on Donahue, Geraldo, Crossfire, Firing Line, Ancient Mysteries, and The Pat Buchanan Show. She was featured in the Nova programs "In the Beginning: The Creationist Controversy" (1999) and "What About God" (2001) in the Nova/Clear Blue Sky "Evolution" series. Dr. Scott holds a Ph.D. in biological anthropology from the University of Missouri and has taught at the University of Kentucky, the University of Colorado, and in the California State University system. A human biologist, her research has been in medical anthropology and skeletal biology.
Eugenie Scott's appearance at the Athenaeum is sponsored by the Salvatori Center, the Roberts Environmental Center, and the Athenaeum.
Balancing Transportation, Energy and the Environment
Maintaining a healthy, affordable and accessible transportation system is essential to our continued economic vitality and daily lives. Our vast transportation infrastructure network represents a four-trillion-dollar investment, including highways, roadways, bridges, waterways and ports, railroads, transit, airways and airports, as well as pipelines, passenger, freight and intermodal terminals. Increasing demand for transportation services, for both commercial cargo transport and for passenger travel, has taxed existing capacity and led to congestion and delays. The transportation sector consumes almost a third (28%) of our energy fuels, 3/4 of it by highway vehicles. Transportation represents almost 12% of the GDP and 10.5%, as well as contributing to environmental problems, from air pollution and greenhouse gases, to noise. In her Athenaeum lecture, Aviva Brecher will review trends and projections in vehicles and modal energy consumption as well as technology options, which promise to preserve our mobility, while improving energy efficiency and environmental quality.
Aviva Brecher is a senior scientist on transportation safety, health and environmental issues at the Department of Transportation's (DOT) John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. At Volpe Center Dr. Brecher has worked on a wide range of projects requiring technical expertise in the physical sciences and risk assessment.
Dr. Brecher received her B.S. and M.S. in Physics from MIT in 1968, and a Ph.D. in applied physics from the University of California at San Diego in 1972. Prior to joining DOT in 1987, she worked in academia, business and government on a broad range of interdisciplinary topics. She is listed in Who's Who in American Science and Engineering, in American Women of Science, and has published over 100 professional papers and over 200 conference presentations and technical reports. She is also a former Congressional Science Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and a Fellow of the APS.
Aviva Brecher's presentation is part of the series The Environment in Crisis and is sponsored by Sigma Xi, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Roberts Environmental Center.
Guaranteeing Community Justice: Making Every Voice Count
A vigilant fighter for fairness, Connie Rice is known for her willingness to confront conditions of discrimination and injustice. She is the codirector of Advancement Project, which acts in partnership with communities to advance universal opportunity, equity and access for those left behind in America. The organization's projects include Urban Peace/Policing, which works to reduce violence, restore neighborhoods and demand police accountability, and Opportunity to Learn, a project devoted to extinguishing obstacles and increasing resources for minority schoolchildren.
In 1991, Connie Rice joined the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. A few years later, she assumed the role of codirector of the Defense Fund's Los Angeles office. Since then, Rice has played an important role in the life of Los Angeles. She was appointed to the governing board of the city's Department of Water and Power where she served as president, installing contracting reforms and environmental improvements. In 1999, Connie Rice launched a coalition lawsuit that won $750 million for new school construction in Los Angeles. For all of her achievements the Los Angles Times named her one of twenty-four leaders considered "most experienced, civic-minded, and thoughtful people on the subject of Los Angeles."
In addition to this work, Rice has also appeared on 60 Minutes, Nightline, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. In a life full of titles, her most prized credential is her first-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Please join us at the Athenaeum to see what is sure to be a passionate presentation by a community-minded woman who continues to strive for equity and change. Connie Rice's visit to the Athenaeum is sponsored by the CMC Dean of Students with support from the James Irvine Foundation and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
Work, Family, and the Life Course Perspective
Phyllis Moen holds the McKnight Presidential Chair in Sociology at the University of Minnesota. For many years prior to that, she held the Ferris Family Professorship in Life Course Studies at Cornell University, serving also as founding director of the Bronfenbrenner Life Course Center, codirector of Cornell Gerontology Research Institute, and director of the Cornell Careers Institute.
Moen's research (published in six books as well as in leading academic journals) focuses on careers, families, gender, aging, and health over the life course. She is especially interested in work-related status transitions and trajectories as they play out in particular historical, community, corporate, and policy contexts. Moen's recent scholarship addresses the mismatch between work and retirement rules and regulations, on the one hand, and characteristics of the new workforce and the new, growing, retired force, on the other.
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the National Institute on Aging have funded the bulk of her scholarship. Moen just published It's about Time: Couples and Careers (Cornell University Press, 2003). Two other volumes are in the works: The Career Mystique (Rowman and Littlefield) and Uncertain Futures: Sustaining Dual Couples in a New Risk Economy.
Phyllis Moen's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children at Claremont McKenna College.
The Poetry of Three Wars: World War I, World War II, and Vietnam
In a career spanning fifty years since the publication of his first book, Paul Fussell has become one of the most prolific, original, and controversial critics in the United States. Born in Pasadena, California, Fussell attended Pomona College before seeing action in World War II. In the spring of 1945, young Lieutenant Fussell was severely wounded by shrapnel in southeastern France. After his war service, for which he received the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, Fussell returned to Pomona College. He then entered Harvard, where he received his Ph.D. in English, going on to achieve distinction as a literary scholar with his studies of poetic form and eighteenth-century literature.
In 1976, Fussell achieved wider fame with the publication of The Great War and Modern Memory, which received the National Book Award for its brilliant evocation of World War I and the attitudes that informed both the conduct of that war and the literature written about it. Since then, Fussell has published numerous other books dealing with various aspects of literature, politics, and culture, including The Boy Scout Handbook and Other Observations (1982), BAD or, the Dumbing of America (1991), Class: A Guide through the American Status System (1983), Thank God for the Atom Bomb and Other Essays (1988), and Uniforms: Why We Are What We Wear (2002). He is also the author of a candid, irreverent memoir, entitled Doing Battle: The Making of a Skeptic (1996). Most recently, Paul Fussell has returned to the subject of war with his book, The Boy's Crusade: The American Infantry in Northwestern Europe, 1944-1945 (2003). In addition to his writing, Fussell taught English for many years at Rutgers University and at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is Donald T. Regan Professor Emeritus of English Literature. He lives with his wife, Harriette Behringer Fussell, in Philadelphia.
From war to English prosody to the symbolic status of blue jeans, Paul Fussell tackles his subject with intelligence, energy, and acerbic wit. This lecture is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies at Claremont McKenna College.
The Role of Paraphilia in Profiling Serial Murderers
Classifications of sexual predators and their crimes can be confusing and unreliable. The purpose of this presentation is to examine the behavioral patterns and motives of violent sex offenders in context with paraphilia. Paraphilia are considered to be sexual impulse disorders characterized by intensely arousing, recurrent sexual fantasies, urges and behaviors. Paraphilic fantasies and behaviors often develop in early adolescence and differentially progress in intensity, duration and frequency. While some paraphiliacs are not violent, others engage in violent sexual behaviors such as lust murder, sexual frenzy with desire to mutilate women, rape with cannibalism, and abuse of children as a means of sexual arousal. This presentation will explore the relationships between sexualized violence and specific paraphilic fantasies that enhance psychopathology.
Currently teaching criminal psychology at California State University, Fresno and Alliant University, Dr. Hickey has considerable field experience working with the criminally insane, psychopaths, sex offenders and other habitual criminals. He is also an adjunct instructor for the American Prosecutor's Research Institute at the National Advocacy Center in Columbia, South Carolina, where he profiles cyber-stalkers, criminal personalities and sexual predators. Dr. Hickey is a member of an international consortium that provides instruction and consultation with police and students at the Institute of Criminal Profiling and Analysis, (IPAC), University of Clermont, France. A former consultant to the FBI's UNABOM Task Force, Dr. Hickey assists law enforcement and private agencies and testifies as an expert witness in both criminal and civil cases.
His book, Serial Murderers and Their Victims (1991), (4th edition, 2004) is used as a teaching tool in universities and by law enforcement in studying the nature of violence, criminal personalities and victim-offender relationships. His other recent books include, The Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime (Sage, 2003), Criminal Minds and Criminal Behavior: An Introduction to Criminal Psychology (Prentice-Hall, 2005), and Sex Crimes and Paraphilia (Prentice-Hall, 2004) a text examining sexual deviants and sexual predators. He is currently writing his first novel, In Sane, a disturbing journey into the minds of psychotics, psychopaths, and the criminally insane. Dr. Hickey is cofounder of Gambaru Productions and appears as an expert in a new television series, Predators.
Eric Hickey's lecture is part of the ongoing series in Psychology and Law.
China's Policy Toward the United States
LUNCH 11:45 a.m., LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
The election in Taiwan on March 20, 2004, will make a tremendous impact not only on the island itself but on its relationship with the People's Republic of China. Will the Mainland and the new Taiwanese leadership be able to open a dialogue leading to a reduction of hostility? Or will the two sides be engaged in an escalation of tensions and even a military conflict? The changing cross-strait relationship will, in turn, provide new determinants in China-U.S. relations as well as the security and economic environment in Asia.
A leading Chinese foreign policy analyst, Professor Jisi Wang will present a Chinese perspective on the Taiwan issue in the context of the PRC's foreign relations and domestic politics. Professor Wang has been director of the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences since 1993. He is concurrently director of the Institute of International Strategic Studies at the Central Parry School, Communist Party of China, and a guest professor of several Chinese universities, including the National Defense University of the People's Liberation Army. He is also consulted by a number of American institutions such as the Pacific Council on International Policy, the Asia Society, the Harvard Asia Center, and the Brookings Northeast Asian Security Program.
Jisi Wang's education was interrupted by the Cultural Revolution, when he was a farmer and factory worker for ten years. Then he studied in Peking University's Department of International Politics, obtained an M.A. in 1983, and taught there until 1991. He was a visiting fellow at Oxford University in 1982-83, a visiting scholar at the University of California at Berkeley in 1984-85, and a visiting associate professor at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1990-91.
He served as a Freeman Visiting Professor for Asian Affairs at Claremont McKenna College in the fall of 2001. Professor Wang's research and teaching focus on China-U.S. relations and Chinese foreign policy.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is honored to host Jisi Wang's visit to CMC as a Freeman Foundation Visiting professor.
What Does the Hispanic Demographic Hold for American Business?
Visionary founder of Latina, the first bilingual magazine targeted exclusively to Hispanic women in the U.S., Christy Haubegger is living proof that when one follows her dreams with unerring passion (and good business sense) she can make waves in the media.
Since the launching Latina in 1996, the magazine has flourished under Haubegger's spirited leadership, growing to a circulation of over 300,000 and awakening advertisers to the fact that the Latino community is America's fastest-growing consumer market. Though Haubegger's idea germinated as a teenager flipping through women's magazines that contained little that related to her as a Mexican-American, the dream blossomed into a real, viable business plan when she took a marketing course while at Stanford Law School. Following graduation she invested her energy in the venture and eventually convinced the publishers of Essence magazine, the largest publication for African-American women, that the media was underserving America's 35 million Hispanics. Building on the success of Latina, Haubegger is currently working with her company, Latina Media Ventures, to provide a long overdue voice in other media that attracts the Hispanic demographic.
As a female entrepreneur and respected leader in the business community, Haubegger has received numerous honors. She was named one of Newsweek 's "Women of the New Century" and profiled by NBC's Tom Brokaw as one of "Ten Most Inspirational Women." A native of Houston, Texas, Haubegger earned a B.A. in philosophy from University of Texas at Austin and a J.D. from Stanford Law School where she served as senior editor of the Stanford Law Review.
Christy Haubegger's appearance at the Athenaeum is part of CMC's Cesar Chavez commemoration and is sponsored by the Harry E. and Lola Monroe Foundation and the CMC Dean of Students with support from the James Irvine Foundation.

In a business traditionally dominated by men, the Mariachi Divas are making big waves on the Los Angeles scene. Founded in 1999, this all-female sensation has appeared at the Arrowhead Pond and the Universal Amphitheatre backing Grammy winning artist Joan Sebastian, as well as playing at the L.A. County Fair and numerous city-wide festivals.
The Mariachi Divas are a truly multi-cultural ensemble, represented by women of Mexican, Samoan, Costa Rican, Cuban, Honduran, Panamanian, and Anglo heritages. "Music is a way of uniting our cultural backgrounds. Our foundation and roots are mariachi, but we have added extra elements to reflect our diversity," says director, Cindy Shea. Their lively sounds incorporate jazz, cumbia, salsa, and meringue into traditional mariachi music. By combining a variety of different musical sources, Shea says that, in this respect, the group is, "like the female version of Ozomatli."
In addition to their audio success, the Mariachi Divas are appearing on film in the forthcoming documentary, "Viva El Mariachi." But the Divas' success is not pure luck, nearly all the women have college degrees and several have degrees in music. These talented female musicians are professionals with a highly contagious spirit and energy.
The Mariachi Divas' guitars, violins, and trumpets, along with their unique ranchera-style vocals, are sure to sweep you off your feet. Celebrating Hispanic culture, the performance is part of Claremont McKenna's 2004 Cesar Chavez Commemoration.
Application forms for the position of Athenaeum Fellow for the 2004 - 2005 academic year will be available in the Athenaeum office on Friday, March 5, 2004.

Jean de Villiers says 60 league points will get the Stormers a home semi-final.
But for the Stormers to get to 60 De Villiers's team can't afford to lose again this season – and that's an unrealistic expectation.
De Villiers, in discussion with Argus Rugby writer Zelim Nel, expressed confidence the Stormers were back in the Super Rugby race after the win against the Sharks.
The Stormers have 20 league points from seven matches, which include three wins.
They have a bye this weekend and tour Australia and New Zealand for a month. On their return they play the Kings twice, the Bulls and Cheetahs at home and also have a difficult match against the resurgent Reds, who have traditionally done well at Newlands.
'We have nine matches in which to get 36 points. It's easier said than done,' said De Villiers. 'But that's our goal. Sixty points is sort of where you want to get.'
De Villiers conceded the season had been tough on his side, but felt the win against the Sharks had been a turning point.
'The bye comes at a nice time for us,' said De Villiers. 'As you can see from our injury list, it will do us well to get a week off. After that, we'll have guys like Scarra Ntubeni, Rynhardt Elstadt and Bryan Habana coming back.'
De Villiers also said flyhalf Gary van Aswegen produced a balanced display and felt the flyhalf did justice to his selection.

Comments about Schwalbe Marathon Tire:
Excellent tires for getting to work or extended bike tours. The rubber has the right combination of traction verses rolling resistance and the tread is good for 95% pavement; 5% trail/dirt.
Comments about Schwalbe Marathon Tire:
Great value. Very satisfied. Great commuter tire. I would recommend these to anyone using them for commuting or long tours but choose a lighter higher pressure tice for serious road biking.
Comments about Schwalbe Marathon Tire:
I have noticed a significant decrease in rolling resistance as well as an increase in acceleration. I was going back and forth between these and the Continental Sport Contacts. I am glad I purchased these as they seem to have longer lasting tread regardless of the 100 gram weight difference in favor of the Continentals. For the 4-5 days per week I ride to commute 5 miles to work in addition to the recreational rides i take they do great. Either way they are a much higher scale tire than the Bontragers that came with the bike. I am not saying they turn your MTB into a road bike...but they will do great until you can buy a road bike or just get another set of wheels to go between commuter and MTB quickly. Solid choice to make it easier to ride your MTB on the road without breaking the bank. Highly recommend you warm the tires or use soapy water somehow before mounting due to the study casing. I did it by leaving them in my car during a hot day, big help.
Comments about Schwalbe Marathon Tire:
I have used the 26 X 1.5 tires for commuting and medium distance road rides (50 miles or less) including some dirt roads. I have ridden over loads of glass, goat-heads, and road debris. I thought I was "taking a chance" by not ordering one of Schwalbe's more puncture resistant tires, but I have had no flats so far. They have exceeded my expectations, and I don't think I'll ever buy another tire besides Schwalbe.
Comments about Schwalbe Marathon Tire:
Awesome, cannot go wrong with these tires, excellent commuter tires, visible and superb. Did I mention they rock? ... Well they do.
Comments about Schwalbe Marathon Tire:
Best tire I've ever ridden on. I've used these for commuting and touring for many years and they still don't show much wear. I love the smooth, quiet ride and great traction on gravel or wet conditions. The reflective sidewall is a really cool safety bonus.
Comments about Schwalbe Marathon Tire:
Fabulous city and touring tire -- durable, smooth riding and virtually puncture proof. I've now got 'em on all my bikes!

I read something in these forums that took me to review the rules of Soak and Pierce, and now I am confused.
Apparently I was doing things wrong. I was applying Pierce only against armour soak and not against total soak (Brawn + Armour). So for example, if a weapon with Pierce 1 hits a target without armour, the Pierce is not applied. On the other hand if this same weapon hits a target wearing heavy clothes (armour soak 1), the weapon Pierce 1 was substracted from the armour soak, reducing it to zero. But after re-reading the beta book, this is not how things are done as per RAW. Pierce is substracted from the total soak, whatever it the source of soak, Brawn, Armour,…
But then my question is, why to bother at all with the Pierce quality? why not just increase the weapons damage and remove the Pierce quality? The maximum Pierce I have seen is 2 and I doubt there are many situations where PCs and NPCs are going to meet things with less than Soak 2 (Brawn + Armour).
Moreover, since Pierce is substracted from the total soak, and armours don't add more than 2 soak points (aside from additions), isn't Pierce a far better quality than Breach? (Breach only ignores armour soak)
Am I missing something? Thougths?
