In the end, it was a blizzard, and the lure of a job back in California where he'd grown up, that led us to move away from Virginia forever. My old man took his promotion to major, his newest medal, and filed for retirement. Then he dumped the coat and hat, bought a T-Bird, packed us up, and drove us out on Route 66 to California.
Almost a year later, by then a fifth-grader at Monte Loma Elementary School in Mountain View, while out in the schoolyard (shared by, of all people, fourth-grader Steve Jobs), I first learned that John Kennedy had been assassinated.
I remember my teacher crying as she came into the classroom. To her, and to my classmates, Kennedy was a distant symbol, a larger-than-life being. But to me, he was that grinning, infinitely self-assured, figure in the open limousine. It seemed impossible that he could actually disappear from the world.
For us, the inauguration ended that day with a freezing trudge back to the car. The journey seemed twice as long as had walking in that morning. The car took forever to crank over but it finally started, and when my father turned on the radio, we heard the reassuring voice of Edward R. Murrow describing the day's events. As it turned out, we had missed almost everything everyone remembers about that day: JFK tipping his hat to his father, Robert Frost's poem, Kennedy's famous "Ask not" speech.
My parents had somehow scored an invitation to one of the lesser inaugural balls, but were too tired, and too wary of driving back into the city that night in such nasty weather. So my mom cooked up some oyster stew (it was the only thing that would warm us) and we sat and talked about the day.
We carefully set aside a copy of the day's Washington Star, and I unrolled the commemorative pennant, with the attached campaign button, that I had bought that morning from a street vendor. I still have it, buried in a trunk until the day when, with luck, I am one of the last survivors of that day. That moment is coming ever closer.
Even at that young age, I was right about that day. Everything did change after that. From that moment, the world began to accelerate ….and it hasn't stopped since. Now we have elected another young and charismatic president, and I can't help thinking that history is once again about to hit another point of inflection, darting off in a new direction that will be both better and worse than we can ever imagine.
I didn't watch much of President Obama's inauguration on Tuesday, the day before my 55th birthday. I haven't watched parades for a very long time. I've been immersed in the speeded-up technology world for so long that these public events now seem dreadfully slow and boring to me, the speeches programmatic and dreary.
So, I watched a little of Aretha and Yo-Yo Ma, watched the muddled oath, enjoyed the invocation, and listened (to my dismay) to the official poem. I quickly read the address on Matt Drudge, then only listened to the actual address for a couple seconds to hear the president's cadences … then moved on to read various livebloggers, drunkbloggers, commentators, read a little history on past inaugural addresses and Wikipedia-ed the Kennedy Inauguration to check my facts.

Words of Wisdom from GandhiWednesday, January 21st, 2009
"Be the change you wish to see in the world"
- Gandhi
I just love this quote from Gandhi. I now have the bumper sticker on my car–mostly to remind myself of the responsibility we all share to "be the change we wish to see" in our families, communities, counties, states, countries, and the world.
A new arrival, 'Be the Change' Pendant, is now available at our sister site, IsabellaCatalog.com.
The following is an excerpt from an interview with graffiti artist Will Kasso:
Question: One of your latest portraits is Gandhi. Why?
Kasso: Well, Gandhi was a great human being. His contribution to society, the world for that matter, is undeniable. He directly influenced Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a host of others for positive change. So when I decided to do the wall, I wanted to paint someone that ignited change, since aerosol artists are the most misunderstood and stereotyped artists on this planet.

Sports: Topher & Dylan
This is the second movie in our "Sports" month. In this scene, Topher DiMaggio and Dylan Roberts relax after their sports photo shoot. Well, relax isn't the right word. They fuck the hell out of each other! The action in this scene is non-stop as Topher pounds Dylan. They both look really hot in their soccer gear! The scene is just like soccer, except they used their hands. :) Sports Month features products from Swiss Navy. In this movie, the guys try out Swiss Navy All Natural Lube. It's a water-based lube that is engineered to feel like silicone.

365.057 - The Mid-Day Jump-Start
For the Economy theme this week ;P
PS: I know the white T-shirt over exposed and is a bit distracting. But it was really mid-day and the sun was shining real hard --didn't know what to do. I got the jumper cables exposed fine though. Maybe HDR will fix it (if only I know how). Any other ideas? :)
I like the treatment here, with not much color except a little on the jumper cables...very nice!!!
Nice one - really do like the focus, and treatment here. Maybe a bit of the burn/dodge tool on the shirt might help
Nice photo. It has a very cinematic look/feel to it (which is why I like many of your photos).
Before the shot fixes:
1) Change shirts. Grey or black maybe? Might sound corny, but I've been doing more of that type of thing with my self-portraits lately, and it saves me time and frustration. It just isn't always very easy thinking about this option when you are just trying to take a "simple" photo.
2) If you have someone available, have them hold something (cardboard or something... diffusion panel would possibly be ideal) that puts you in shade. The diffusion panel would probably be nicest because you could probably diffuse the light to the point that you wouldn't blow the shirt out, yet it would/could still look like you were in direct sunlight. Not always feasible though if you don't have someone to assist, or light stands/booms/diffusion panels.
3) I'll assume this is all natural light? If you had used artificial light to light the cables in the foreground, you could have probably dialed-down (under-exposed) the background. However, you already have some pretty dark shadows back there, which would just get worse unless you strategically placed another light in the background to control the shadows. I know it's tough beating the harsh sunlight unless you have some powerful lights, but the fact is that you probably could put even a small flash really close to your foreground subject (because of how you framed it) and probably pretty easily beat-down the sun... I think. I know I would probably give that a try. You would more than likely lose some of your DOF, but, well, maybe it wouldn't be that bad.
4) This is a little out-there, but I think it would work... If you could have used a reflector to direct that harsh sunlight at your foreground, you might have been able to bring down the entire exposure more (which would have brought your shirt down as well). And, if you are really able to direct/reflect a lot of light at the foreground, it ends up doing almost the same type of thing I mentioned in #3. I use this technique quite a bit when I'm doing nature-shots in harsh sunlight conditions and it works pretty well.
After the shot fixes... I'm not real good at post-processing techniques, so I'll leave this one for people that know more about that kind of stuff :)
Sorry if these aren't the kind of ideas you were asking for...
well I was going to say dodge and burn too...
but AndrewKufahl is right - getting it right SOOC is far easier than PP work.
some great suggestions -- could you have changed the guy's shirt or was this a street shot? i like the photo concept and the focus on the jumper cables
Well, I'm the odd one out here. Just learning I guess but I like the overexposed shirt. I don't find it distracting and I think it places some needed emphasis on the work involved in the scene here. On the other hand, wish I knew a fraction of what your friend Andrew knows about lighting. Lighting is tough, that's why I like overcast days, dusk and early morning.
i like it Al, looks artistic
Thank you everyone, and yes, it wasn't a posed shot. Our battery really died. We had to call a friend to jump-start it for us. So I couldn't have possibly asked Gaj to change his shirt.
Andrew - You're right, I should've used the Flash on the cables, at least that way, I can underexpose the backgroud *slaps own head* [Why didn't I think of that?!] And no, even though that wasn't what I was initially asking for, your information will be helpful in future. Thank you very much :)
Cath - I really like coloring pictures, but I'm very lazy when it comes to any serious editing work, so I like my pictures to look as good as possible SOOC :)
Love the tones in this shot and its nicely composed. Every shot is a learning curve and if you learn from it all the better
Hopefully, I will. Thanks Craig :)
thanks for sharing this image under Creative Commons License; I used (and credited) it in this multimedia short novel, a story where text, images and music are part of the experience, which is released in turn under Creative Commons License.
Your image was exactly what I needed for the "dead battery" scene.
Thanks again and best regards.
You're welcome. This is exactly why I do this, to promote the creation of more art. I'm really happy you found it useful :)

Climate Change Topics
Democracy Now! has long covered the issue of climate change. We reported from the U.N. Climate Change Conferences in Warsaw, Doha, Durban, Cancún, and Copenhagen, and from the World Peoples' Summit on Climate Change hosted by Bolivia. We've interviewed many of the world's top scientists, writers, policy makers, activists, indigenous leaders and academics on the issue. We continue to follow the environmental movements to directly confront the root causes of global warming, and to advocate for climate justice, and sustainable alternatives.

President Tony Tan Keng Yam presented them with the Pinnacle Award, the top honour given by ComChest - the fund-raising arm of the National Council of Social Service - to those who have made significant contributions for at least 20 years or given more than $20 million.
Temasek Polytechnic and Langdon & Seah were lauded for their strong support for the Share programme, under which individuals make monthly donations to ComChest from their salary. More than 90 per cent of the staff from Temasek Polytechnic have joined the programme over the last 10 years. Langdon & Seah topped up an additional 20 per cent of every contribution made by its staff to the programme.
The organisations also organised activities for beneficiaries of charities supported by ComChest or fund-raised for ComChest. Singtel raised more than $20 million for Comchest over the past decade through its SingTel Touching Lives Fund. Many of its staff volunteered to collect used books for needy children and lent a hand to give old premises a fresh coat of paint.

Health Care Manager Certifications and Certificate Programs
Learn about certificate programs in health care management, including program prerequisites and courses. Find out about certification options for health care managers.
Essential Information
Health care managers work in hospitals, nursing care facilities and other health care offices. Health care management certificates are widely available and are intended for professionals in a variety of health care roles, including aspiring managers and middle managers interested in career advancement. These programs provide an understanding of legal and ethical issues, health care finance and problem solving. Students learn through the study of health care theory, case studies and team-based exercises. Health care management certificate programs are commonly available through distance learning, as well as campus-based schools. Health care manager certification, though often not required, is available for managers in many different roles.
Educational Prerequisites
Certificate programs in health care management are available at 4-year colleges, 2-year community colleges and online universities. Applicants are required to possess a high school diploma or the equivalent. Some programs require the submission of ACT or SAT scores.
Program Coursework
Courses in health care management certificate programs provide well-rounded training in issues faced by managers in the health care field, ranging from finance to personnel. Common courses include the following:
- Ethical issues in health care management
- Health care finance
- Budget management in health care
- Diversity issues in health care management
- Health care management leadership skills
- Problem-solving in health care management
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) (www.bls.gov), there were approximately 303,000 employed health care and other medical services managers in 2010. This number was expected to grow 22% between 2010 and 2020, largely due to expansion in the health care industry. Managers will be needed in many roles as the industry works to control costs, improve accountability, modernize record-keeping and strengthen quality. The median annual salary for health care and medical services managers was $88,580 in May 2012, according to BLS figures.
Continuing Education and Certification Information
Certification requirements in health care management depend upon the field and are not always required. For example, health information managers, who are not required to obtain certification, may elect to take a certification exam offered through the American Health Information Management Association in order to become a Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA).
Conversely, health care managers working in nursing care facilities are required in all states to complete licensure requirements, which is possible by earning a bachelor's degree, passing a licensing test and completing an approved training program. Health care managers can often find entry-level work with a bachelor's degree in the field. Those seeking advancement often pursue a master's degree in health care management.

In 534, Emperor Xiaowu, in a dispute with Gao Huan over the control of power, fled to the domain of the independent general Yuwen Tai, leading to a split of Northern Wei, as Gao Huan then made Yuan Shanjian the Heir Apparent of Qinghe emperor (as Emperor Xiaojing), and the areas under Gao Huan's control became known as Eastern Wei, and the areas under Yuwen's control became known as Western Wei. Gao Huan moved the Eastern Wei capital from Luoyang to Yecheng.
In 535, Gao Huan found out that Gao Cheng had been conducting an affair with Gao Huan's concubine Lady Zheng Dache (鄭大車). In anger, he caned Gao Cheng 100 times and put him under arrest, and he seriously considered making Gao You (高浟), his son by his concubine Lady Erzhu Ying'e (Erzhu Rong's daughter) heir apparent to replace Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng sought help from Gao Huan's friend Sima Ziru (司馬子如), who persuaded Gao Huan to change his mind by reminding him the contributions that Gao Cheng's mother Princess Lou had made, and also subsequently by forcing the witnesses to the affair between Gao Cheng and Lady Zheng to recant. Still, Princess Lou and Gao Cheng were forced to repeatedly bow and crawl on the ground to beg Gao Huan's forgiveness, and Gao Huan allowed Gao Cheng to remain heir apparent.
In 536, the 15-year-old Gao Cheng, who was then with his father at his military headquarters of Jinyang, requested permission to become in charge of the Eastern Wei imperial government at Yecheng. Gao Huan initially refused, but Gao Huan's assistant Sun Qian (孫搴) spoke on Gao Cheng's behalf, and finally Gao Huan agreed. Gao Cheng soon arrived at Yecheng and took over the imperial administration. He became known as a harsh but capable enforcer of laws, in comparison to his father's policy of relaxed enforcement. He also abolished the seniority-based system of promotion that had caused the imperial administration to stagnate, seeking out capable individuals and promoting them quickly.
Around this time, Gao Cheng also married Emperor Xiaojing's sister the Princess Fengyi as his wife. In 540, she bore him a son, Gao Xiaowan (高孝琬). The emperor personally went to his mansion to congratulate him, and the officials all sent expensive gifts. (Gao Cheng initially declined, stating that Gao Xiaocheng was the emperor's nephew, and therefore the emperor should be congratulated first, but eventually did accept.)
In 543, the actions of Gao Cheng and his trusted assistant, Cui Xian (崔暹), would lead to the rebellion of the general Gao Zhongmi (高仲密). Gao Zhongmi had earlier married Cui's sister as his wife, but later abandoned her, and this led to hatred between Gao Zhongmi and Cui. Cui therefore found many reasons to pick fault with selections of officials that Gao Zhongmi had made, and Gao Cheng agreed with Cui. Further, on one occasion, when Gao Cheng saw Gao Zhongmi's new wife Li Changyi (李昌儀), he was stunned by her beauty and tried to rape her. Lady Li escaped, and informed Gao Zhongmi about the incident. Therefore, when Gao Zhongmi became the governor of Northern Yu Province (北豫州, roughly modern Zhengzhou, Henan), he surrendered the capital of Northern Yu Province, the key garrison Hulao (虎牢), to Western Wei. (Gao Huan, blaming Cui for Gao Zhongmi's rebellion, initially wanted to kill Cui or at least to severely cane him. However, Gao Cheng, displaying the influence that he had on his father by this point, was able to persuade Gao Huan, through Gao Huan's assistant Chen Yuanda (陳元達), that punishing Cui would undermine Gao Cheng's authority, and therefore Gao Huan never did punish Cui.) In the ensuing battles over the control of the Hulao and Luoyang region, both Yuwen Tai and Gao Huan nearly died. After Eastern Wei forces finally captured Hulao later that year, and Lady Li was delivered to Yecheng, Gao Cheng made her one of his concubines.
In 544, Gao Huan, believing that the officials Sima Ziru, Sun Teng (孫騰), Gao Yue (高岳, Gao Huan's cousin), and Gao Longzhi (高隆之), were becoming too powerful and too corrupt, transferred major portions of those officials' responsibilities to Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng further showed off his authority by acting imperiously toward those officials. For example, when Sun once visited him and showed insufficient respect, he had his guards throw Sun on the ground and pound him with sword hilts. Gao Cheng also installed his assistant Cui Jishu (崔季舒, Cui Xian's uncle) as Emperor Xiaojing's secretary, to keep watch on Emperor Xiaojing.
Later in 544, Gao Cheng, wanting to stamp out corruption within the imperial administration, empowered Cui Xian and Song Youdao (宋遊道) to investigate high level officials for corruption. Cui and Song each made several accusations against high level officials, and Gao Cheng had, in particular, Sima Ziru stripped of all titles and offices, and Yuan Tan (元坦) the Prince of Xianyang stripped of his offices. In order to show that Cui, in particular, was empowered to carry out investigations, Gao Cheng had Cui intentionally show disrespect to himself in public with impunity, so that the officials would be even more apprehensive of Cui.
In late 546, Gao Huan became seriously ill, and he summoned Gao Cheng back to Jinyang to entrust the matters to him. At that time, Gao Cheng was apprehensive that the general Hou Jing, who commanded the provinces south of the Yellow River, would rebel, and Gao Huan left him list of officials that he could trust, and specifically instructed him to make Murong Shaozong (慕容紹宗) the commander of the army against Hou if Hou rebelled. Gao Huan died in spring 547, but Gao Cheng, also pursuant to Gao Huan's instructions, did not announce Gao Huan's death in public; rather, he returned to Yecheng, pretending that Gao Huan was still alive.
Meanwhile, Gao Cheng also had a threat from within. Gao Cheng, once Gao Huan died, began to show contempt for Emperor Xiaojing, and once, when Emperor Xiaojing rebuked him for public disrespect, Gao Cheng ordered Cui Jishu to punch Emperor Xiaojing three times. Emperor Xiaojing, fearful of what might come next, formed a conspiracy against Gao Cheng. In winter 547, the plot was discovered, and Gao Cheng put the emperor under arrest and executed his coconspirators.
Late in 547, Murong Shaozong crushed Xiao Yuanming's army at Hanshan (寒山, in modern Xuzhou, Jiangsu), capturing Xiao Yuanming. When Xiao Yuanming was delivered to Gao Cheng, Gao Cheng treatedly him with respect, intending to try to use Xiao Yuanming as a pawn against Hou. By spring 548, Murong Shaozong had crushed Hou's army as well, and Hou fled to Liang, seizing the Liang border city of Shouyang (壽陽, in modern Lu'an, Anhui) as his base of operations. Gao Cheng then began negotiating peace with Liang's Emperor Wu, intending to create instability in the relationship between Emperor Wu and Hou. Hou, eventually coming to believe that Emperor Wu would betray him and turn him over to Eastern Wu to exchange for Xiao Yuanming, rebelled in fall 548, eventually capturing the Liang capital Jiankang and holding Emperor Wu and then his successor Emperor Jianwen of Liang as puppets. Once Hou did so, he made an overture of peace to Gao Cheng, but Gao Cheng did not respond.
Meanwhile, Gao Cheng was trying to recapture the provinces that Western Wei had taken from Hou. Also in 548, he sent Gao Yue and Murong Shaozong to siege Changshe (長社, in modern Xuchang, Henan), but Changshe, defended by the Western Wei general Wang Sizheng (王思政), would not fall easily, and during the battle, Western Wei forces were able to kill Murong Shaozong and another major general, Liu Fengsheng (劉豐生). In summer 549, Gao Cheng himself commanded reinforcements and arrived at Changshe. He intensified the siege, and soon, Changshe fell, and he captured Wang, whom he treated with respect. After Changshe fell, Western Wei forces also withdrew from the three other provinces that they had captured, and Eastern Wei by this time had recaptured all of the land that Hou had initially taken.

Favorite Movie: A Better Tomorrow
One thing I'm wondering... Is it acceptable to put your laser discs in your list? It would double my collection, and LDs are nearly as good as bare bones DVD - not too many of mine have worthwhile features, the only big one is Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. I've never seen any real reason to replace movies I have on LD with DVDs, unless it's a movie I REALLY love and want the extras badly.
Course, some of my LD's (Once Upon a Time in the West, Star Wars) aren't available on DVDs except bootlegs in Star War's case.

With all the talk lately of Verizon's LTE and Sprint's WiMax, T-Mobile wants to remind everyone that it's aggressively pushing HSPA+ and its up-to-21MBps speeds (theoretical, of course) to compete with Verizon and Sprints's offerings. It now says 85 million people are already blanketed in 50 areas, with 185 million in 100 areas to be covered before 2010 is out. The newest cities include:
Austin, El Paso, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Waco, Texas; Baltimore, Md.; Baton Rouge and Lafayette, La.; Birmingham, Ala.; Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton, Ohio; Ft. Lauderdale and Jacksonville, Fla.; Greenville, S.C.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Indianapolis, Ind.; Kansas City and St. Louis, Mo.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Portland, Ore.; and Wichita, Kan.
The just-released Samsung Vibrant was specifically named as one of "more than a dozen smartphones" to "benefit from enhanced speeds" when in HSPA+ coverage. In addition, TMO promises more information on their first fully HSPA+ capable phone "later this summer". T-Mobile also mentioned the launch of a new "webConnect Rocket 2.0" USB Laptop Stick with HSPA+ and a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook with webConnect.
Check out the full press release (minus the boring legal stuff) after the break.

TiRon & Ayomari - Du Gör Mig Bra (You Complete Me)
Artist: TiRon & Ayomari
Producer: Jonesin' (for Sum Comfort Food)
Album: En kärlekshistoria
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 11 votes )
You know what they say, when in Rome do what the Romans do, and when in Sweden record an 8 track EP called En kärlekshistoria. What? That's not what they say? Well they will once they hear TiRon and Ayomari's new music. While on tour in Sweden the Los Angeles duo decided to record a road trip EP and the project's first release is the Jerry Maguire-esque Du Gör Mig Bra (You Complete Me). Enigmatically named producer Jonesin' (for Sum Comfort Food) opens with what I'm pretty sure is a Gil Scott-Heron sample that gives way to a jazzy, soulful and lush beat that sets a lazy Sunday afternoon pace for Ron and Mari's rhymes. Speaking of which, Mig Bra finds the globe trotting duo speaking about (what else?) their love and lust for women; could the blond bombshell in the opening verse be a Swedish blond? Whatever the origins of TiRon and Ayomari's particular inspiration for this one, hopefully En kärlekshistoria (aka A Swedish Love Story) will hold fans over until the release of their long-awaited Sucker for Pumps album, hopefully coming soon.

Tennessee edges Ole Miss, 3-2, in double overtime

Staff Reporter
Intense and scientific scrutiny of tax returns marks the phase
50 per cent increase in tax collection last year
Checks on gold merchants will continue
KOCHI: Steps will be taken to intensify collection of commercial tax by scientific scrutiny of tax returns filed by merchants and comparing it with the records of goods movement from check-posts at the entry points to the State, Minister for Finance T.M. Thomas Isaac has said.
He was inaugurating the second phase of the 'From Walayar to Ernakulam' project, which is being enforced by the Commercial Taxes Department, here on Wednesday. Tax returns are being intensively scrutinised in this phase.
Last year, the State witnessed a 50 per cent increase in collection of taxes, which is a record. No such achievement was recorded after 1958, Mr. Isaac said. During November itself, there had been an increase of 31 per cent in the collection of Value-Added Tax, he added.
Checks on gold merchants who refuse to compound the sales tax would continue, he said. After one-percent compounding of tax was implemented, the tax returns from the gold market shot up from Rs.21 crore to Rs.100 crore.
Tax returns
Personnel have been deployed on temporary basis to sort out pending tax returns. Sorting would be completed by January and a scientific scrutiny of the records would be made after that, he said.
Critics do not realise the changes that have affected revenue. For example, Kochi Refineries Limited was among the top tax payers. After its take over by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, movement of oil from KRL to BPCL was not taxable, as it was only stock transfer, he pointed out.
Deputy commissioners of Commercial Taxes Department N.C. Chacko, K.A. Soman and J. Julius Smith were present.

What they did not tell is that this sensor has been designed on behalf of the NSA.
adrianf2: OK. Olympus won 'fair and square'. But what exactly did they win? A popularity contest among the visitors to this site from a pre-determined list that excluded many excellent cameras.
I have bought a D800 and voted for it. However if the OMD were able to properly AF my FT lenses I do not know what I would have done.
In a side by side comparison with low dof shots (D800 85 1.8 G versus OMD 45 1.8) the OMD was the clear winner. With its image stabilisation and face recognition it was good for so many keepers, while the D800 setup was a lot of miss and seldom hit. The focus sensors are simply to big for this kind resolution/low dof and focusing accuracy seems to lack too.
This OMD technology is what every low dof portrait shooter would like to have instead of fiddling with focus sensors. You can even choose which eye the camera should focus on.
Thus the D800 certainly has its strong points but the OMD is a much smaller package combined with very good image quality and some compelling innovations.
Sigma has managed to do some serious overhaul with their lenses.
I am using the Sigma 120-300 2.8 OS and am very happy. No reason to go for a 5k $ Nikkor.
Jeffrey Lockwood: Can someone explain to me why Canon would get rid of the ISO dial and instead keep the exposure comp? I never, ever, use the exposure comp settings on either my G11 or my 7D, but I change ISO all the time. If you shoot RAW, why would you ever need to? Other than doing some HDR work, which if you are advanced enough to want to do that, you should be using RAW. I understand that a lot of photography novices will buy this camera but it really is a very good pocket camera for those with DSLRs and why wouldn't you cater to that market a bit more? Can someone give me a good reason for exposure comp that perhaps I don't know about?
What I cannot understand is why the default crop is always on the label of that bottle. It does not provide sufficient fine detail to allow for a reasonable comparison at this level of resolution.
Better stick e.g. to the feathers on the right hand side of the picture to establish what the selected cameras can resolve.
Cheers Andreas

Really enjoyed the whale watch. Saw whales on the way out and way back, that was great. Didn't really enjoy Friday Harbor. Had to much time in Friday Harbor, not enough to do unless you like shopping. Would have preferred more time whale watching.

College football "experts" can debate all they want to about which conference is the strongest. Sports bettors have a slightly different way of looking at things and for bettors, the best conference is the one that covers the spread most often, while the weaker conferences do not.
That's especially true in the bowl games; bettors often play the well-known teams from the big conferences, particularly when they are playing one of the "little guys." Sometimes that works out, while other times it doesn't.
Looking at the past years' worth of bowl games, which conference has done the best against the point spread? If you guessed Conference USA, you're right. The little guys have gone an impressive 17-10-1 (63%) against the number in bowl games. Also interesting is that 18 of those games went under the total.
The conference with the second-best spread record is the much-maligned Atlantic Coast Conference, as those teams have gone 23-16-1 (59%) against the spread and also have a strong under tendency, as totals are 16-24 in bowl games involving ACC squads.
The big boys of the SEC are 24-21-1 against the spread, while Pac-12 teams are 16-14-1 against the number.
On the other side of the equation, the Mid-American Conference has been the worst in bowl games, going a dismal 7-18-1 (28%) against the spread, while the Big 12 also has been pretty bad, with its teams posting a 15-24-1 (38.4%) record against the spread. The Big 12 teams also continue the streak of playing to the under, also going 16-24 in totals.
The trends would point to East Carolina over Ohio and Pittsburgh over Bowling Green.
The tendency for teams to go under the total isn't really surprising, as all games are 77-95-1 (44.8) in regards to totals. In games where the posted total is below 45, the tendency has been a bit more pronounced, as these games are 6-12. Games with a total of 50 or more were 51-69-1 (42.5%), slightly better than the overall results.

Mumbai Indians have faced Chennai Super Kings 17 times — more than any other team in the Indian Premier League. This particular statistic means that the two are familiar foes. Come Wednesday and the two teams will be at loggerheads once again in the Eliminator round of the IPL 7 at the Brabourne Stadium.
It would be one hot battle between the teams who have come to the knockout stage through different routes. If Chennai Super Kings have been one of the most consistent side in terms of results, Mumbai Indians have have had to rough it out.
Out of 14 games, Chennai managed to win nine and lose five to finish third on the table with 18 points while Mumbai had seven wins and as many defeats in 14 games before they overcame Rajasthan Royals on Sunday to qualify for the Eliminator.
For Rohit Sharma-led side, it has been a roller coaster ride. While many wrote the team off after their five successive defeats in the United Arab Emirates leg, they bounced back to win seven games in India. The key to their success has been the return to their fortress – the Wankhede Stadium — where they won four games out of five.
Their last league do-or-die encounter against Rajasthan will be talked about for a long time given Corey Anderson's heroics and Aditya Tare's timely six that shaped the successful chase of an improbable 190 in 14.4 overs to advance to the next stage.
Coming back to the Eliminator, Mumbai despite their better record (nine wins and eight defeats off 17 games vs CSK), and the home crowd on their side, will be the one under pressure.
They may have miraculously turned around their last game against Rajasthan, but they still don't have a balanced side to take on the likes of CSK.
Mumbai have a good batting line-up — comprising top order Lendl Simmons and Michael Hussey, who have returned to form with big hitters Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Corey Anderson and Aditya Tare in the middle, their weak link is bowling.
Sharma must be struggling to find proper new ball bowlers after Zaheer Khan was ruled out due to shoulder injury and Lasith Malinga is away on national duty. He will have to persist with Anderson and youngster Jasprit Bumrah. Harbhajan Singh will be the key in spin department as Pragyan Ojha and Shreyas Gopal are not in form.
Chennai, on the other hand, is a settled line-up. They have a strong batting line-up that consists of dangerous players like Dwayne Smith, Faf du Plesis, skipper Dhoni, David Hussey and Suresh Raina. While the bowling comprises international quality bowlers in R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohit Sharma and a few more.
Mumbai's Anderson, who starred in the match against Rajasthan, said the team will play fearless cricket. "We've fallen back in games in the last couple of weeks and still found a way to win. There was still the desire to drive through and win it. If we can keep that fearless nature about us, we'll be a force to reckon with," said Anderson on the eve of the encounter.
Meanwhile, CSK coach Stephen Fleming is optimistic of Chennai's chances. "Mumbai were excellent against us last year. We had some revenge this year with two wins (In UAE and Wankhede Stadium in the round robin stage). But it's not going to be easy. It's a home game for Mumbai. We have to play extremely well. We had a great tussle with them at Wankhede and this is not going to be any different tomorrow (Wednesday)," Fleming said.
