Michael Laudrup believes there is no danger of Michu leaving Swansea this month as so few of Europe's elite could afford him. The Spaniard has proved to be one of the bargains of the season, having scored 16 goals in 25 appearances since joining for £2million from Rayo Vallecano in the summer. Michu's latest goal set Swansea on course for a 2-0 win at Chelsea in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final. Laudrup was full of praise for the 26-year-old after the Stamford Bridge clash and fully expects him to end the campaign as a Swansea player. "I would never expect a new player to come in and score so many goals, but I can't really say what expectation I had for Michu," the Dane said. "What he is doing in terms of goals is incredible, especially when you think he's never been a number nine. He's always been a defensive midfielder coming from deeper. "But against Chelsea he had one chance, one goal. That's a top-class striker. You'd pay a lot of money for that." Asked...

Hey everyone.. me new here! I have uploaded some of the sketches which I have done last week. All of them are memory drawings.. i have tried to foreshortening in one of the sketches, though it didn't work well, I feel good that I atleast tried. It's tough doing foreshortening though.

Hey! The foreshortened view doesn't look bad, I think the head needs to be placed a little lower.. and the dancer looks great, its only her hands that are kinda off I guess.. I've got some e-books I can give you, those would help! Need to work more on drawing hands and figure drawing.. Hands are really hard for me too Keep sketching!
September 29th, 2010 #3
Nice start there bro! Your fingers need some work, but the overall forms are good. Are you studying art?
Don't bother looking at my sketchbook. I haven't updated that thing in years. :/
September 29th, 2010 #4
Thanks for the feedback..
@miladtha: yea I'm studying art :-/ i lost touch with sketching for a while. Now I am trying to get it back.. will have to do more practice..

Hey everyone.. bought myself a new sketchbook .. so i pulled off some anatomy books from the shelf and started sketching poses drawn in it.. i have also done some experimental memory sketching of poses and also a close up of how legs will appear when body sits and stands that way.. since i'm very poor in drawing legs and hands i thought i'll just give it a try..
I really don't know how to just go wild and let yourself free and draw doodles like i've seen in people who do great deal of sketching.. so apologies if they are looking a little neat..
Looking forward to your valuable opinions.. have a great day ahead..
September 30th, 2010 #6
Halloz again! Hehe.. first time I'm hearing anyone apologizing for their
sketches being too neat your line quality's lovely, yea neat like you've put it
And its 'slay thy hand?' xD one year of no MAD and you're slipping into the murky depths
of RLV ingleesh!
The tip-toeing foot on the bottom right looks good.. And a tip in drawing action poses,
to make them look more dynamic, you see the shoulder and hip line right? In the figure that's jumping with the sword, they're parallel to each other.. Tilting them in the
opposite direction will give you a more dynamic feel.. Twisting torsos too does that.. Check out Vilppu's anatomy drawing book.. Awesome gestural drawings..
@Milad: We're from ze same college

Happily sketching ever after..
Thanks to all of you for giving your valuable suggestions.
Yesterday was the election day in my college.. and since there was no class and I had absolutely nothing else to do but vote, I thought i'll take on my sketchbook and start sketching various poses around me..
First I moved away from the maddening crowd to spend some time sketching my various poses of my hand.
Then i went to the busiest part of the college and started doodling.. people there soo busy (probably tensed about who will win) that they couldn't stand properly for one second.. and so I had to draw real fast without giving so many details..
As hours passed, people began to get very tired, some of them left and few of them stayed to know the result. Here I got more time to understand the postures and draw accordingly so i slowed down my sketchy hand..
If I made a self assessment of myself, well.. don't know how it turned out, but I'm wildly happy because in my four years since my entry into art field this is the first time I'm ever doing outdoor life sketching..
I know, sounds very weird.. and i guess that's the best part of being an artist.
Looking forward to your replies..
Haappy sketching..
October 2nd, 2010 #12
Yeaha!! Go vipin! so happy i've lighted a fire under one more person's butt.. out looking for my next victim!
no critiques on the hands, i think they look great.. see, all you needed was to dust off those sketching skills you had all along
Out of all the seated poses, liked the figure in the middle page, on the top right corner.. i've gotta start blocking out the figure in shapes next..
October 2nd, 2010 #13
Trying some memory drawing :madchef:
Thought i'll just try out some poses from my imagination.. first i tried out the normal poses like leaning towards the table.. normal stuff you see out there..
next i tried out action poses, mainly dancing postures and stuff.. hope it worked..
Looking forward to your valuable suggestions..
Next i gotta try out knocking down blocks and introducing skin and study of legs.. which is going to pretty hard i feel..

Coach: Scott Burton, 2nd season
2013: 3rd at Hancock County, 8th at Hoosier Heritage Conference, 6th at New Palestine Sectional
Top 5 runners
Kenzi McTernon/12
Katie Wickham/12
Claire Talbott/12
Nicole Stephenson/11
Sydney Cook/9
Next in line: Rebekah Gottwald/10, Nicole Watson/10
Outlook: Scott Burton just wants his Cougars to continue to develop. In due time, the Greenfield-Central coach believes times will drop and the blue-and-gold will return to the regional meet as a team, something it hasn't done since 2011.
The first order of business is replacing Rebecca Flora, who now runs for Marian University. Flora, who qualified for the track State Finals in the spring with G-C's 1,600 relay, was the team's top finisher at the Hancock County Meet (fifth), Hoosier Heritage Conference Meet (21st), New Palestine Sectional (16th) and Rushville Regional (38th) in 2013.

About 4 months ago, I took in a miniature horse called Gemma, who was severly overweight, and had never been cared for properly at all. She is 4 years old, 5 on 21st november. When we got her she weighed 300kgs easy.
She has since lost almost 60kgs.
The poor girl started foundering last week :( thank god we caught it at the first sign of a teensy limp, so we got it under control within two days.
But what could I do to make sure she doesnt get it again, she is in a paddock with hardly any grass and she is living on hay and water at the moment, and all the signs have completely gone, im going to start giving her an hour of grass every second day or so and see what happens.
What feeds could I give her without risking her getting it again? I've never had to deal with a foundering animal of any sort so I don't know much about it. She is slowly loosing weight, but im not going to excercise her for around 6 weeks as recomended by the vet.
But in a few months, would I be able to put my 5 year old sister on her? Casey(sister) weighs around 20kgs, but I don't know if I should, because i'm absolutely terrified of hurting her, and if she is never able to be ridden again, so be it. I would much rather have her for a pet as opposed to putting her in pain.
And when I start excercising her again, how should I start? Would just easy walking for 5-10 minutes a day be ok for her? Considering at the moment she is actually excercising herself by running around and bucking so she can't be in any pain, THANK GOODNESS!!!
But I could REALLY REALLY do with some help on this, I love gemma soo much and I really want to do the best for her, even though she's not mine, I am the one who cares for her, feeds her, gets up early in the morning to take off her cover, muck out her paddock, and everything. My mum, and my bf and his mum pitch in quite alot, but I have the strongest bond with her.

Community tips and complaints led to the arrest of three men, including a gang member, on drug charges Friday, June 5, according to a Brunswick County Sheriff's Office news release.
Twenty-seven-year-olds Zane Alan Williams, a validated gang member, and Michael Jorrel Stanley, both of Ward Road in Longwood, are each charged with trafficking heroin, conspiring to traffic heroin and possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver heroin, the release said.
A 66-year-old man has been charged with animal cruelty after an alleged puppy mill bust at his Belville home.
Deputies charged Clenton M. Howard with misdemeanor cruelty to animals after searching his home at 409 Glendale Drive at 11 a.m. Thursday, June 4.
During the search, deputies seized 19 miniature pinschers, also known as "min pins," according to a Brunswick County Sheriff's Office news release issued Thursday afternoon.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Office detectives are asking for the public's help locating a South Carolina man wanted on three felony charges.
Jason Lee Hanna, 31, of Ashepoo Creek Drive in Myrtle Beach, faces felony breaking and entering and two felony larceny charges in two separate incidents late last week, according to a sheriff's office news release.
Hanna has also been charged with injury to real property and misdemeanor breaking and entering, sheriff's office spokeswoman Emily Flax said.
Every decade has its buzzwords. This is true in religious circles, as well. It seems as if we need new nomenclatures to help us renew, and hopefully deepen, our understanding and commitment to any cause with which we are involved.
Though I'd scarcely call it a buzzword, evangelization has been voiced as essential to Christianity from its beginnings. In the earliest gospel according to Mark, we read a terse command: "Repent and believe in the Gospel." Then comes the Great Commission, "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel."

Two Brunswick County Schools employees in the transportation department have resigned after a two-week investigation about an incident when a sleeping student was left on a school bus unattended.
District spokeswoman Jessica Swencki said bus driver Evelyn Miller and bus monitor Roswitha Delts resigned May 18 and May 22, respectively, after spending more than two weeks on paid administrative leave after a Virginia Williamson Elementary School first-grade girl was left on a school bus at Cedar Grove Middle School on May 13.

Flash Gordon punches his way through the ring-plane!
Seems like Flash's solutions often involved punching.
Five layers composited in Photoshop.
One layer using Bullet physics to punch spaceship through the foreground ring objects.
Second layer, background ring objects.
Third layer, planet object.
Fourth and fifth layers, star and nebula background images.
Please click the image to see it full size.
Perhaps some motion blur on the particles (a lot of it) and a tad on the ship might make things a bit more dynamic. Right now it looks very static.
Flash is (was) all about OOMPH !! So I'd give it a lot more dynamism.
Oh, and I just realized that what I thought was a long spaceship actually has a bunch of rocket exhaust behind it that seems at first glance like just an extension of the body. Maybe give it a bright orange glow, or if you want to make it like the old TV shows, maybe some transparent smoke with some depth to it. And of course you should add the thin wires holding the ship up….
Well, if you're going by the old serials, then instead of a bright orange glow it should be a bright black and white glow!

Deron Williams has hired his own beat reporter to cover him
Dec 5, 2012, 10:52 AM EDT
Deron Williams wants to make sure Deron Williams gets fair coverage. So he hired a reporter to cover him.
It's a continuation down the road journalism is taking — newspapers are struggling, more people are getting their news online at places like this (and NBCNews.com) but companies are still trying to figure out how to make that profitable like papers. Meanwhile teams are hiring their own reporters to cover the team and even break some stories — but always with a positive spin.
And now D-Will has his own beat reporter for his own site, something Kobe Bryant has done before but Williams has taken to a new level, according to a story in the Wall Street Journal (at tip to Craig at our sister blog HardballTalk, who apparently reads the WSJ daily):
He employs his own team of beat writers. Their mission? Spread the gospel of D-Will on his website, DeronWilliams.com….
Taking all that into account, DeronWilliams.com is cutting edge. Operated by a company called Athlete Interactive, the site has Williams-centric game stories, Williams-centric features and Williams-centric photo galleries. The site's editors shoehorn "Williams" or "D-Will" into roughly 90% of their headlines, which, to be fair, is sort of the point. The headline of one particularly exhaustive 1,850-word game story last week: "D-Will Stars as Nets Topple Knicks." "They do a great job of making sure it's personalized," Williams said.
This isn't muckrake journalism—Williams and his representatives at Excel Sports Management get to vet everything that goes live on the site—but they feel it serves a purpose. Launched not long after the Jazz traded Williams to the Nets in 2011, it was originally conceived as a way to enhance his appeal to sponsors in a new market. Jaymee Messler, the senior vice president for marketing at Excel, described it as "creating a larger brand portfolio" for him.
This is all about business, spinning story and controlling (as best one can) the brand identity. That's why teams have reporters — they don't spend time speculating on a coach's job or what player is slumping and losing minutes like fans do, they report what is going on but with a team-sensitive spin. It's not to say these men and ladies don't do good work, some do very good stuff and understand how to use the access they have to provide insights, but they have to do it within a box.
So if you have the money — and with his new $99 million deal this summer he has the money — it makes sense for a top player to have his own writer to promote the brand. To keep up what he is doing on Facebook. To spin stories for him.
It's smart. It just means media consumers — people like you if you are reading this — need to be smart and understand the motives of all the writers you read.

Interview with Victor Lavalle, Spring 2010
Victor LaValle was raised in Queens, New York and is the author of a short-story collection, Slapboxing with Jesus and two novels, The Ecstatic and Big Machine. LaValle has also written essays and book reviews for publications such as GQ, Essence, The Fader, and The Washington Post.
LaValle has been awarded the PEN/Open Book Award for his collection of interconnected short stories, Slapboxing with Jesus, and the Key to Jamaica, Queens. His first novel, The Ecstatic, won wide critical acclaim, drawing comparisons to the work of Ken Kesey, Chester Himes, and John Kennedy Toole. LaValle was a finalist in 2003 for both the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and the Hurston-Wright Legacy Award. And rapper Mos Def has been so taken by LaValle's work that he named one of his albums after LaValle's novel.
His newest novel, The Big Machine, was published in 2009. It tells the story of Ricky Rice, an ex-junkie survivor of a suicide cult whose life is changed when a mysterious letter arrives summoning him to a remote compound in Vermont. Novelist Mat Johnson described the novel as "Thomas Pynchon with the Sunday afternoon double matinee…transcendent."
LaValle graduated from Cornell University with a BA in English and continued to Columbia University where he received his MFA in Creative Writing. He has been the Distinguished Visiting Writer at Mills College in Oakland, California, a fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, and a visiting professor at Adelphi University. He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York and teaches writing at Columbia University.
In Capital Letters: Mr. LaValle, can you tell us a little about the way in which growing up in New York, a large metropolis and urban center, especially during the 1980's has influenced your writing?
Victor LaValle: I grew up in New York, but to be even more specific I grew up in Queens. This might seem like nitpicking, but it isn't. Growing up in Queens—Jackson Heights and Flushing for the first twelve years—is probably a lot like growing up inside the UN building. When I was growing up my best friends were black Americans and white Americans, Columbian, Persian, Korean, Indian, Chinese, Jamaican and Trinidadian, Puerto Rican, and Irish. That's a pretty wonderful mix, something I didn't appreciate until I became older and learned that it wasn't the norm for everyone, everywhere. So while living in densely populated areas, in apartments rather than homes, had an impact on me, the real value of my particular city existence is that it brought pretty much the whole world to me. It was my first, and best, education as a writer.
ICL: How did you come to literature? Has it been something you always felt passionate about?
VL: I've always been a reader. My household didn't have too many books in it—the Bible and the Encyclopedia Britannica—but I grew up in a neighborhood full of boys, which means that we swapped comics all the time. This was my first real introduction to the life of a reader. From there I graduated to books, my first loves being writers like Shirley Jackson, Clive Barker, and Stephen King. Horror fiction. Once I found myself devouring some of King's enormous tomes, like It for instance, I figured I could tackle just about anything. So I went on to Dickens and so on. It just built from there.
ICL: What authors, books, poems, stories do you return to again and again?
VL: Shirley Jackson is a long time favorite. I can never get enough of her. She's most famous for a short story called "The Lottery" but she's got two outstanding, classic novels: The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Both are spooky, smart, beautifully written, and highly readable. I return to the Japanese novelist Kenzaburo Oe constantly, particularly his collection of novellas Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness and his first novel A Personal Matter. Gayl Jones has a novel named Corrigedora, I reread that every year or two. Stephen Crane's short stories are amazing. If you only know The Red Badge of Courage, I would recommend you check out the stories.
ICL: What have you read most recently that has surprised or inspired you?
VL: I've been rereading the stories of Ambrose Bierce. He's most famous for a book called The Devil's Dictionary which a clever and cruel book of perversely perfect definitions of various things. (For instance SENATE, n: A body of elderly gentleman charged with high duties and misdemeanors.) He lived through the Civil War and fought for the Union Army. His writing consists of scenes of the Civil War and ghost stories/supernatural tales. He makes the former seem unbelievable and the latter seem matter of fact. That's inspiring.
ICL: What is your favorite and least favorite part of the writing process? The most surprising? The most challenging?
VL: My favorite part of the writing process is when I work out some part of the plot or characterization, or when I come up with a nice bit of language. It's usually quite a lot of error to reach that moment of success so I try to enjoy it, even just for a breath or two, because there will be a new confrontation in the very next line. The most surprising and challenging are actually the same. I'm always shocked at how little I understand about my own stories. When I write the first draft of a story, or even a novel, I feel sure I know what it's dealing with but by the fifth draft I find I was completely wrong. And by the tenth I discover that I was wrong when I thought I had it all figured out in the fifth draft. If the story looks the same from the first draft to the last—meaning the plot, the character motivations, the language itself—if nothing has changed then I'm doing something very wrong.
ICL: What themes do you find central to your work? How have they changed over the years?
VL: I do believe that old saying that writers have only a few themes that they work over, again and again, during the span of their lives. So far my main themes seem to be about who is fortunate and who isn't; why some of us get the good breaks in life and why others don't. How getting a good break isn't enough, but it sure is one hell of a head start. That's a larger thematic idea. Certain issues that I keep returning to are mental health, horror, and religion/faith. So far, those are the top three.
ICL: How do your stories first form? Where do you draw the inspiration for them?
VL: The stories come from anywhere. Usually a good bit of my own life, combined with inspiration from the writing of others, add reading the newspaper on a daily basis, trolling through gossip blogs and watching crappy television. And sometimes it's just genuine inspiration, bolt out of the sky kind of thing. But I know it's all coming together when I've got a strong first sentence. When the first sentence finally appears in my mind I know I'm ready to try a first draft.
ICL: What advice would you give unpublished writers that you would wish someone had given to you when you were still in school?
VL: There's lot of advice, particularly about reading as much as you can and being genuinely curious about the world. But one piece of advice I wish I could give my unpublished self is this: have some fun. I was so serious about being a writer! Meaning, I took myself so seriously. I actually bought into the idea that writing is supposed to be torture; splitting a vein and letting it bleed all over the typewriter. Garbage. I don't believe that any more. Some people are just melancholy, that's the personality they were born with and God bless 'em. But somewhere along the line it became almost a given that writer's are just melancholy. But I'm not. I'm a bit of a nut about various things, but at heart I'm a guy who likes to have fun. I want to enjoy my life. So these days, if I'm working on something, I regularly ask myself if I'm having any doing writing it. If the answer is yes, I keep going. If the answer is no I backtrack to the point where I was having fun, I erase whatever I've done that didn't bring me some pleasure, and then I start again.
ICL: If your life had a theme song right now, what would it be?
VL: This is tough, only because there's a song I've been listening to obsessively lately, "The Wind Cries Mary" by Jimi Hendrix. But to claim it's the theme song would be kind of untrue. It's a beautiful, but kind of somber song and that's not how my life feels, at least not today.
ICL: Tell us something about yourself most people don't know.
VL: I can't stand to let my hair grown long at all. I get it cut about once every two weeks, once a week in the summer. This might also be filed under "things about myself most people couldn't give a damn about."
ICL: If you weren't focused on writing, what would you be doing?
VL: I'd like to think I would be the drummer in one hell of a band.

In an age where the need to share photographs instantly is becoming a rage, on board Wi-Fi is a must-have feature on an advanced point and shoot. Nikon Coolpix P340 is an upgrade of the Nikon P330, with the addition of Wi-Fi being the major change.
Build and Design
Nikon P340 is literally a palm-sized camera in an all-black metallic magnesium alloy body. Despite the compact size Nikon has ensured that there is provision for a palm rest and thumb rest.

Nikon 1 V3 - Nikon launches 18.4MP mirrorless camera
Nikon's third-generation Nikon 1 V-series mirrorless camera is here. The shooter features an 18.4MP AF CMOS sensor with no low-pass filters. This one is a decent upgrade from the V2, which sported a 14.2MP sensor. Additionally, the V3 also sports Expeed 4A image-processing engine and an ability to shoot up to 20 frames per second when in auto-focus mode and 60 frames per second when in fixed focus.

A Camera For Everyone? The Canon Rebel T3i
You all know that we here at The Imaging Resource love cameras, and every manufacturer has at least a few true gems out there for all of us to fall for. But every now and then a camera seems to transcend time and the current market and, well, simply stays current long after being past its proverbial prime.
It beats the Olympus E-M1, the Sony A58 and the sleek little Canon SL1. It has twice as many landing page views as the Canon T5i, two generations newer down the line.

The Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G DX lens was a bit of a surprise when it was announced, as Nikon already had two very good telephoto zooms that appealed to DX body users (55-200mm DX and 70-300mm VR). Why Nikon was revisiting the low-cost telephoto space before filling out other DX options had a lot of Nikon users puzzled. Still, with two low-cost cameras (D3100, D5100) in the lineup, having low-cost lenses for them seems like the right thing to me. The question at hand is whether this was the right addition to the low cost lineup.

Canon t3i 600D
This new piece of kit is very similar but quite a few dollars cheaper. The specs are similarly very close, with one exceptional difference: the new baby is 240 grams lighter in weight, made from stainless steel and polycarbonate resin with glass fibre. Which says a lot: pros like cameras with a dab of weight while the amateur fraternity goes kinky for models that don't lower the shoulders.

The EOS M2 includes Hybrid CMOS AF II, an updated autofocus system that Canon said is faster than the M's system. It also gets Wi-Fi support, but the sensor is still an 18-megapixel model that tops out at ISO 12,800, or 25,600 if you enable its higher-noise expanded range. The new camera is also 8% smaller than its predecessor, with built-in Wi-Fi, and a redesigned mode dial.

The Canon G series of cameras has sat at the top of the compact pile for several years and there are signs that Canon is taking its customers for granted. The phone app is not worth the effort of installation. The lack of a swivelling LCD is odd for a top compact. The G16 is a good camera, but not the category killer the G once was.

The walkaround lens. This very topic leads to a heated discussion among DSLR photographers.
First, determine your budget, focal length, and aperture needs.
If you frequently find yourself zooming out to get everything in a frame, you will want a wide angle lens such as this. If you frequently find yourself zooming in, this is not the lens for you. On a full frame body such as Canon EOS 5D, this lens becomes ULTRA wide angle. On an APS-C crop body such as Digital Rebel XTi (which I used for this review), it becomes MEDIUM wide angle. But thanks to 1.6x crop factor, this lens expands to more usable 35mm equivalent focal length of 27 to 64mm.

Nikon 35mm f/1.4G AF-S FX SWM Nikkor Lens
I'm a wedding photographer who shoots in dark conditions often. This lens performs great in these conditions. I use this lens on a D3 body and the AF is good. It doesn't seem to be as fast at my zooms (24-70 2.8 or 70-200 2.8) but it's still pretty accurate when focusing in low light. The image quality is AMAZING. Certainly an upgrade from the older 35 f/2 version . Images has more contrast & are sharper. I also own the 24 1.4 G and I would say that the IQ on the 35 is about the same. Over all, I'm very impressed and satisfied with this 35

I think how you feel about this camera is really going to depend on where you're coming from. If you're a DSLR shooter and are looking for a portable body you're likely going to be frustrated by the lack of control points on this camera.
On the other hand, for those upgrading from a point and shoot camera like myself, this camera can be ideal. I came from a Canon S90, which I purchased a couple of years ago looking for a camera that does a better job in low light than the typical point and shoot. The S95 was definitely a step up from what I had before, but more recently I've become frustrated with the limitations of the sensor and was also interested in exploring the world of interchangeable lenses.

The advantages move way beyond the ability to shoot on your SLR - the wealth of high-speed lenses and shooting accessories that make EOS photography so remarkable can be used in shooting video. Where interchangeable lens video cameras cost thousands of dollars, with the EOS 5D Mark II their operation, including HDMI output, is simply an added bonus to a remarkable camera.
The EOS 5D Mark II has a sophisticated AF system consisting of 9 user-selectable AF points, along with a total of 6 additional vertical and horizontal AF assist points. With Live View Function on the EOS 5D Mark II, you can zoom in and navigate the composition 5x or 10x normal size.

+ Resolution: Beautiful detail, just make sure that your lenses are up to the task.

+ Color: Adobe profiles are horrible, create custom profiles using a MacBeth chart with Adobe DNG profiler and the colors will amaze.
+ AutoWB: Excellent, much better than the D3/D700.
+ Low ISO: Having a true 100 ISO is godsend for on-location lighting setups.
- Software: Nikon software can produce excellent results, but it is clunky and slow.
- Handling: The mode selector button is awkwardly placed. I prefer the D7000 U1/U2 style custom banks.
- JPEG: Nikon has the worst jpeg engine; competitors like Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, and Canon put Nikon to shame. Although I would never shoot JPG, there are those that do, and this camera will let them down.

I really enjoy this camera.
I owned a K-r for a short period of time before I sold it for this and I don't have buyer's remorse for doing it.
Things I like:
-The thing isn't plastic. And it doesn't feel it.
-The picture quality in RAW...
-The controls are simple.
-Because it is designed for a screen, live view can be used all the time and not drain the battery quickly like it did on the K-r. That is of course if you like the live view.
-When you put on the kit lens this camera takes up the same space as a 4/3rds. Most times you carry a camera around and want to take quick shots you don't need a zoom anyways. It is a slightly genius maneuver to make the lens smaller as that is what half the size of the 4/3rds cameras are, the lens.
More Detail :
- LCD has great color and viewing angles
- Light
- Stereo video
- Hotshoe
- Responsive touchscreen
- Snappy startup
- Dedicated movie button
- Automatic image rotate
- Flash is mechanically released; you can tilt it up for ceiling flash shots, which is nice
- Surprisingly easy to grip (not great, but better than expected for the slim body)
- Menus a bit confusing
- Lens is huge (this is excusable)
More Detail :
Easy winner. Nikon's RAW files are more detailed, almost 3D like. I can't really explain it other than the pictures look more real. I can crop a photo to 1/3 it's size (12 megapixels) and it still looks stunning. I wonder how much better the D800e version is. I'll have to wait until my friend receives his to find out.
About the same. Canon and Nikon have awesomely quick autofocus and I couldn't determine a difference. The only caveat is that Nikon focuses better in lowlight (without the autofocus assist lamp) and also the Nikon focuses when there is almost no light (with the autofocus assist lamp). Why the heck doesn't Canon include an autofocus assist lamp is beyond me. Also, Nikon's face detection is extremely useful because it focuses right on the eyeballs.
Easy winner. Canon doesn't have built in flash. Nikon flash worked surprisingly well.
More Detail :
Fast shooting speed almost 6 fps is very good, and thought 3 fps was good. (I also like the 2 settings for shooting speed, normal and high speed)
Built in Wireless flash control. I also bought the 430EX II, and 3 button pushes later I had the speed light firing while it sat off camera behind the subject, and that is very cool
Great Canon Software (I use a Mac, and I love the USB interface software, you can completely control the camera from your computer
Custom Shooting mode - Exact what it sounds like, its nice touch
The flip out rotating screen is very sharp, probably one of the best I've seen on a DSLR. I don't shoot much live view though.
It uses SD, only because I had plenty of SD cards from my last two devices.

- Menus a bit confusing
- Lens is huge (this is excusable)
- Thumbwheel is a bit stiff
- Flash does not extend high enough to avoid 14-42mm lens; ergo, some shadow appears from the lens
- Flash power is okay
- Camera strap is generic and uncomfortable; plan on getting a better one
- Some special color effects inhibit speed (only the really fancy ones, though)

text: Dan wrties - "We've all seen them, and we all hate them, movie tie in games. For the few that don't know, a movie tie in game is a videogame that releases either before or very close to the release of the movie hits theaters. Here, I'll give you a few examples. Let's take one of the big blockbuster movies this summer, Battleship. Releasing on May 18th of 2012. The videogame for this Battleship movie was released May 15th. On top of being a sub-par film the video game is getting horrible reviews. Second we have a movie like Kung Fu Panda which released June 6th 2008, while the video game released June 3rd 2008. While the movie and video game weren't absolutely terrible, the quality of the video game was less than what video games being released nowadays should be."

Former Gov. Marvin Mandel violated the University System of Maryland Board of Regents' ethics policy by lobbying the legislature during the past three years, the board ruled yesterday.
The Sun reported in March that Mandel, who was appointed to the Board of Regents by Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. in 2003, was at the center of liquor wholesalers' efforts this year to stop legislation allowing small wineries to sell directly to restaurants and retailers. State records also show that he lobbied on behalf of the insurance industry in 2003 and 2004.The board's finding that Mandel violated a ban on lobbying by its members carries no penalty. But his actions are still subject to inquiry by the State Ethics Commission, which potentially could lead to jail time and fines.
In a statement, Mandel acknowledged that he had violated the rule, adopted in accordance with a law passed by the General Assembly in 1999. He said the violation was the result of an incomplete understanding of board ethics policies, and he promised to avoid further violations.
"I respect and cherish my membership on the board and I deeply regret that my actions may have cast an undeserving negative light on the valuable work that my colleagues and I perform on behalf of our students and our state," Mandel said in a statement. "We all understand that we, as regents, must conduct ourselves beyond reproach. Now that I am more fully informed of the policy, I will be more sensitive to its requirements as I continue my work as a regent."
He did not return a telephone call for comment yesterday.
The board's ruling comes a month after it decided that Chairman David H. Nevins had not violated the same ethics rule in attending meetings between top legislative leaders and his employers at Constellation Energy, BGE's parent company. Nevins is Constellation's chief marketing officer.
Although the meetings involved discussions of matters before the General Assembly, Nevins said he did not participate in the talks and attended simply to provide introductions.
Mandel testified against the wineries bill in a Senate committee hearing, met with and wrote to key legislators and represented his clients' interests in a task force meeting of legislators, winemakers and others.
In the previous two years, he was a registered lobbyist for the insurance industry. He has been a registered lobbyist for the Licensed Beverage Distributors of Maryland in the past but was not this year.
Questions about the activities of Nevins and Mandel led to heightened scrutiny of ethics issues for the regents during the General Assembly session and the passage of a law limiting their political activity.
That law resulted in this week's resignation of Regent Richard E. "Dick" Hug, Ehrlich's top fundraiser. James C. Rosapepe, a regent who is running for state Senate, also announced that this week's meeting would be his last. His term was about to expire.
The regents concluded in their opinion that Mandel did not intentionally or willfully violate the ethics rules. The opinion also states that the former governor did not use his position on the board to his clients' advantage.
Mandel told investigators that he was not briefed on the lobbying ban when he was appointed to the board, although he acknowledged that he knew about it before he testified in the Senate hearing.
According to the regents' opinion, Mandel told investigators that he did not believe the policy applied to his advocacy for the liquor wholesalers because they had been a client before he was appointed to the board.
The regents' ethics policy says: "A member of the Board of Regents shall not, for compensation, assist or represent any party in any matter before the General Assembly."
It was enacted after a lobbying scandal involving then-Regents Chairman Lance W. Billingsley, who traded on his relationship with Gov. Parris N. Glendening to establish a lobbying practice.
Michael Gill, who chairs the regents committee that investigated Nevins and Mandel, said it was "unfortunate" that the former governor was found in violation of the policy. But he said the experience was valuable in that it has spurred the board to revamp its ethics training for members. He said the board will also develop more detailed guidelines about what constitutes lobbying.
"The most important thing ... is going forward, everybody knows the policy and there will be no `I didn't know the policy' in the future," Gill said.

It is time for another Lex Steele movie and this one is packed with more than just whores. These women are superwhores. I have always wondered about this title Does it mean that these women are even more whorish-than usual like "Super Savings?" Or do they have some special powers that make them the stuff of comic book legends. (A few of the babes in this movie are built that way.) I suppose any woman who can take the kind of pounding that Lex and his friends dish out would have to be considered super on some level. From what I understand Lex has handed this line over to Domina X so big changes will be coming. For now we get to enjoy these super whores and the mighty cocks who fuck them. (OK, that was just a bit comic book I guess.) ... Read the Full Review!

F800GS "Drop-In" Fork Replacement?
View Single Post
Lost Boy
Joined: Feb 2008
Location: Prodigal Mainer
Oddometer: 54
No one's ponied up the information on the new forks. I suspect that's because there are simply so few out there yet, and the dissatisfaction hasn't set in with the front suspension that the Zokes had time to foster (five model years with the same kind of crappy fork). I'm not going to rebuild mine without riding them first, but I am going to at least take the caps off and measure the thread pitch and diameter for Lukas if no one else has done it by then. To tell you the truth, it's the lack of re-buildability that bothers me most on principle. I do believe that BMW engineers amazingly durable bikes, and their engines and systems seem second-to-none. That's why the second-party mediocre forks are all the more intolerable to me. Everything else on the bike can be made to suit the rider to some extent, and fairly easily repaired in the case of failure. The forks can't even be adjusted, let alone rebuilt when they fail. That's almost insulting with the price of the bike as a whole, and the par that BMW has set with the rest of the bike.
I wasn't born to ride, I was born to work.
But I got laid off.

Reviews by ejmarcash
My 6 and 7 year olds found the movie very funny.
My children enjoyed the story and especially comparing the human house to the mouse house. Great illustrations and story has a positive message.
Great family movie. My daughter loved it because it had a princess in the movie. My son loved the action scenes but disapproved of the kissing scenes. My husband loved the fencing scenes because once upon a time, he used to fence. I enjoyed the humor and romance and a young, baby-faced Fred Savage. Aw. I can't believe how much time has passed since The Wonder Years.
As I read this to my 5 and 6 year olds, we all realized that the author had been writing about us. They enjoyed my substituting their names for Destructosaurus. Bold and colorful illustrations add to the story.
My son enjoys the kung fu aspect while I appreciate the humor and imagination.

Sicilian Gentle-Man seeks fun-loving woman to try his cooking & companionship. Free hugs with reply.
I love making others smile and happy. My wit is tactful, respectable and spontaneous. Seeking family oriented woman who wants the same from her partner. No head games or drugs, please. She should be fun-loving, likes children and dogs. She also enjoys cuddling on the couch while we watch her favorite shows. She also likes the beach at day and night. Let's find activities we both enjoy and start spending time together! Was married for over 10 years and there is a zero chance of reconcilliation. I am ready to give love to a woman who needs love and respect in her life. Children: I have a nine-year-old boy who is the real love of my heart. I also have a 17-year-old step-son who I helped raise for five years like my own boy. If you have kids, great as I love kids! If not, you will love my child. My future: I intend to finish remodeling my house and finish my small fruit orchard that I've dreamed about for many years. My goal is to lose more weight and extend my life expectancy so I have more blissful years to spend with my future partner and family. My match: I expect her to have a personal life with friends. If she cannot cook, I will teach her all-I-know if she wishes to learn. Appreciate me truly, as I am very generous and you will be spoiled. She will receive on occation, many "just-because" tokens of my heart-felt feelings, like chocolate, kisses on-the-neck, and jewelry. Let's get to know each other! Take care and good luck

Love homesteading, DIY home improvement, cooking and gardening books.

WALLA WALLA -- There's been a another delay in the trial for a longtime janitor at the Walla Walla Regional Airport who was arrested in December after suspected methamphetamine was found in the terminal.
Elias Alonso, 40, of 620 Chase Ave., now is set for trial Oct. 24. The proceedings last were scheduled to begin Sept. 20.
The trial has been postponed several times.
Alonso has pleaded innocent in Walla Walla County Superior Court to possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine.
Officials said nearly seven ounces of suspected meth -- with a street value of about $14,000 -- were discovered in the janitorial room at the airport Dec. 14.
Alonso reportedly told a Walla Walla County sheriff's detective he found the container in the parking lot and intended to inform the airport's security coordinator, but forgot.
Alonso was arrested Dec. 17, but bail was posted that day and he was released from jail pending further court proceedings.
Port officials initially suspended him with pay, then fired him effective Jan. 15.
Terry McConn can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 526-8319.

The largest ever research project into the condition of England's industrial heritage was published on Wednesday 19 October by English Heritage together with its annual Heritage at Risk Register. It reveals that
A poll of public attitudes to industrial heritage which English Heritage also published today shows that
A new developers portal on the English Heritage website will offer advice relevant to re-using industrial buildings and each English Heritage local office will, for the first time, publish a list of 10 "at risk" priority sites, many of which will be industrial. Developers interested in taking these on will get additional help from English Heritage to guide them through the process
A new guide to keeping buildings safe from decay or in temporary use until better economic times, was published yesterday. Vacant Historic Buildings: An Owner's Guide to Temporary Uses, Maintenance and Mothballing is available from the English Heritage website. This advice will be backed-up by grants, already averaging £2 million a year for urgent repairs
