mjoshi: It says E-Mount so will this work with Sony A6000 or this is only meant for Sony A7 series ?
Only reason, there is very few native APS-C lenses that are really I want for my A6K. I already use Canon 6D for FF and A6K serves as backup. I've SEL 50F1.8 and I'm happy with that but need something on wide end and 28F2 is very appealing compared to Sigma 30F2.8 (which I've but not big fan of that lens).
It says E-Mount so will this work with Sony A6000 or this is only meant for Sony A7 series ?
JDThomas: Instead of these over-priced "photography" bags I usually buy tactical military bags designed for weapons. They are highly padded, ultra-durable, and about 1/3 of the price that these photo bag companies charge.
I could buy these in bulk sell them at twice the price and still come in way under what these companies charge for a product of lesser quality.
Looks good, do you need to be service member to order from link you posted or it is available to everyone ? Also is that the only color that it comes in ?
mjoshi: Does this thing have a capability to display focus point in RAW file same as Digital Photo Professional does for RAW files created from Canon camera ? It is important and comes handy when editing to see what was point of focus.
I know there are other softwares that will display it just like Digital Photo Professional does, I'd love to see focus points inside LR4 while editing in my pictures.
Does this thing have a capability to display focus point in RAW file same as Digital Photo Professional does for RAW files created from Canon camera ? It is important and comes handy when editing to see what was point of focus.
Am I the only one or others are also feeling same, between HX200V and HX100v only difference I see is increase of MP from 16 to 18, apart from that everything else is exactly same. Atleast they should have gone 24mm wide from 27mm.
welcome to high noise images with that 36MP - companies need to realize bigger is not always better.
citrontokyo: Good luck to them. The market needs the competition.
You are right, that is only way all companies will up there game and bring better products to market - including Apple.
People bitching and moaning about Nokia should watch this interview with one of designer behind Nokia products to understand what is their design concept. I appreciate you blindly praising Apple products but at the same time please give a credit where it is due.
ps - I own iPhone 4s but at the same time would love to see other companies coming out with great products.
Ibida Bab: Fail: too expensive.
Thank god you wont be buying one as it is too expensive. :)
marike6: The design looks like an old iPod Nano but with a bigger screen. Being influenced by Apple is one thing, copying it another. Zeiss lens, that pretty cool. To bad it's a phone, but I guess the line between the 2 devices continues to be blurred.
Looks like anything rectangle clearly resembles something from Apple, so did Steve invented rectangle ? :)
DPReview.com to remain fair and balanced (not in Fox news way) please post news about every other 8Megapixel sensor phones that are released henceforth. To start with HTC Titan has 8MP camera with F2.2 lens so that might be worth covering here. It is not fair to cover only Apple products related news when other companies are producing equally competant (and in some instances superior) products.
QuickDilation: All I want is Lightroom for my damn iPad, I want to be able to tether my camera to my iPad and use it like I do on my laptop... Then when I get back to my station I want to hook up my iPad and transfer what I shot... This does not in anyway do that! So adobe, stop selling me crap and telling me its like Lightroom... On top of everything you want me to adopt another cloud service on t of apples icould? and charge me!? Nope...
I think it is more in hands of Apple to allow iPad to be used in a manner you are prescribing with 3rd party apps. Probably once Steve leaves Apple will become less of control freak.

Edmonds a symptom of greater ills in the entire Padres organization
"I still think there's a learning curve," Black said Friday. "I don't know how big that curve is, but I think we saw a little bit of a transition for him getting off to a little bit of a rough start (in Portland). Now, he's starting to come on. He's more comfortable in the outfield. He's swinging the bat better."
Among Headley's remaining obstacles is the Padres' relative roster inflexibility. Paul McAnulty, Scott Hairston and Justin Huber -- the three outfielders threatened by Headley's development -- are all out of minor league options. Absent an injury, promoting Headley would likely mean cutting another player loose permanently. In view of the standings, the case for haste is unconvincing.
"As good a player as Chase Headley is and as good a hitter as we think he is, he's not going to make a huge difference right now in us jumping back into this thing," Towers said. "(And) you can do more damage ... if he comes up and struggles for the first two or three weeks."
Just imagine the backlash. Towers already has.
"'See, you've got nothing in your system, either -- it was just a bunch of BS,'" he said, anticipating the fallout were Headley to fail. "Then, we're really hurting."
If Towers has grown a bit gun-shy about pulling the trigger with hitting prospects, blame it on Sean Burroughs and Ben Davis and all of those players who were highly touted and lowly productive.
Now in their 40th year of operation, the Padres have managed to turn only one of their first-round draft choices into an All-Star position player: Dave Winfield. (Derrek Lee, the Padres' No. 1 draft choice of 1993, attained All-Star status with the Chicago Cubs.)
"It looks like we have some good players (in the system now)," Alderson said. "We've been fortunate over the last two or three years that most of what we've done has worked out pretty well. Nonetheless, it's kind of a high-wire act."
Patchwork, Alderson knows, is not a sustainable business model. Though Towers has been able to swing some fortuitous trades, a long-standing shortage of legitimate prospects has meant that he has swung and missed plenty, too.
Some of this is a function of shortsighted spending, notably the panicked selection of Matt Bush with the No. 1 pick of the 2004 draft. Some of this, presumably, should improve as the Padres invest more in young talent and international infrastructure.
For now, though, the high-wire act has lost its footing. The reckoning is at hand.

UPDATE: The water main was repaired and operating normally early Wednesday afternoon, according to OWASA.
OWASA crews were working on a water main break Wednesday morning, according to Chapel Hill officials. The break closed McMasters Street and diverted traffic away from McMasters and Church Street.
As of last update, there was no estimated time when the road will be reopened.http://chapelboro.com/news/traffic/water-main-break-diverts-traffic-chapel-hill/
Sludge, or biosolids as they're known in the industry, is what is left over when municipal wastewater is treated and reclaimed. For years OWASA has been recycling biosolids into fertilizer.
The liquid sludge goes through a high-temperature anerobic digestion process at the Mason Farm wastewater treatment plant, then gets sprayed onto 1,000 acres of farmland in Orange, Chatham and Alamance counties.
But this process has come under scrutiny from public health officials, environmental activists and those living near the spray sites.
Now, OWASA officials are investigating the feasibility of drying all biosolids and selling them to McGill Environmental Systems in Chatham County to use as compost.
Administrators say switching to the composting process will minimize nuisances such as odors and noise for residents near the spray sites. They also note drying the biosolids will require less fuel to haul than the liquid, and reduce the chance of a spill during transit or application.
If approved, the switch is estimated to save $100,000 in maintenance and operating costs each year.
The OWASA board will discuss the plan at its January 8 meeting. You can read the full report on biosolid disposal here.http://chapelboro.com/news/local-government/owasa-examines-compost-alternative-sludge-spray/
Officials from the Orange Water and Sewer Authority are temporarily shutting down service on South Graham Street to repair a water main leak.
Currently, six houses and one fire hydrant are without water. It's not clear how long it will take workers to repair the line and restore service, but in general, water main repairs take up to six hours to complete.
We'll have more on this throughout the day.http://chapelboro.com/news/news-around-time/water-main-leak-shuts-off-owasa-service-south-graham-st/
The Orange Water and Sewer Authority will close two northbound lanes of South Columbia Street near the Carolina Inn and Peabody Hall, starting Friday through September 16.
The lane closures will allow contractors to replace a valve on a deep underground water line.
OWASA announced that the work will be performed during daytime and night hours, including this weekend.
One lane will remain open to vehicles, as well as access to the Peabody parking lot.
Water service to UNC's Sitterson, Brooks, and Chapman buildings will be interrupted on Saturday, and a sidewalk next to the work site will temporarily be closed.
Should work be delayed due to weather conditions, it will be rescheduled to begin Friday, September 19.
For more information, contact OWASA Utilities Engineer Vishnu Gangadharan at firstname.lastname@example.com://chapelboro.com/news/news-around-time/lane-closures-announced-s-columbia-street/
12:30 p.m. update: The water main has been repaired, however the road will remain closed a little while longer.
According to the Chapel Hill Fire Department's public information officer, Lisa Edwards, North Columbia Street from Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to Stephens Street remains closed to allow for replacement of the asphalt damaged during the repair. She says its expected to remain closed through the afternoon.
Story originally posted September 10, 2014, 6:16 a.m.
Crews have been working through the night to repair a water main break at North Columbia and Carr streets near Chapel Hill Town Hall.
N. Columbia is closed between Stephens Street and the merge with Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The line broke right around the intersection with Carr St.
Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) crews are working to repair the line. In the meantime, the utility is providing bottled water to the approximately ten homes that are without the service at this time. Emergency crews still have access to the affected area if necessary through other roads that remain open.
The break was reported at around 7:25 p.m. Tuesday night.http://chapelboro.com/news/traffic/water-main-breaks-n-columbia-carr-streets/
The water tank near Hillsborough and Old Fayetteville roads in Carrboro will be inspected and cleaned beginning Thursday, as part of regular maintenance.
That's according to an announcement from the Orange Water and Sewer Authority.
OWASA has hired a contractor to perform the work, which is expected to take two or three days, weather permitting.
Preparation begins Monday, as OWASA begins draining the tank.
An additive will be used to neutralize the disinfectant "chloramines," a compound of chlorine and ammonia in OWASA water, so that fish and amphibians won't be harmed.
After cleaning, the tank will be disinfected, and water samples will be tested before the tank is put back to use.
According to OWASA, water pressure to customers will not be affected during the process.http://chapelboro.com/news/local-government/owasa-cleans-inspects-carrboro-water-tank/
It may be hot and dry this summer, but Orange County is certainly not yet experiencing a drought according to the U.S. Drought Monitor and North Carolina Drought Monitoring Council.
Orange County is now listed as being in an "abnormally dry condition", which is the first stage of a drought, by North Carolina classification.
The Sustainability Manager at Orange Water and Sewer Authority, Pat Davis says this hot and dry period has just come on in the past few weeks and that the Drought Monitoring Council did not have Orange County in any sort of drought stage until just recently.
According to Davis in the month of June, OWASA's Water Treatment Plant only received 1.23 inches of rainfall, the lowest seen in the month since 1993. June also recorded its fourth lowest amount of rainfall at the Cane Creek Reservoir with 1.5 inches.
"So, is June an indicator of July, August, September, October, November, and December?" Davis asks. "Only time will tell, right? We see rainfall flip around pretty frequently from month to month. But if we see July and August well below normal, then that may be the sign that we're headed into a condition that increases our potential drought risk."
Davis says water reservoirs are still at almost 91 percent of their storage capacity, due to a "well above normal" amount of rainfall in May and over the last twelve months.
In reference to Orange County's last drought in 2008, Davis says residents do not have to worry about water conservation just yet, and that OWASA will be monitoring conditions well into the fall before they are alerted of any significant drop in water reservoirs.
Director of Horticulture at the North Carolina Botanical Gardens, Jim Ward, says even though he has recently had to show extra care to the garden's plants, he has battled with far worse conditions of high temperatures and low rain in his 35 years at the gardens than what he is seeing now.
"It is causing us to put a lot more time into the watering needs of the plants," Ward says. "At the Botanical Gardens, we use captured rain water as our primary source for irrigation and we have a well for another part of our garden. We're needing to tap into those more frequently and for a longer period of time."
Ward has combated the dry spell and conserved water in the garden by aiming the water at the ground instead of the plants' leaves. He advises plant owners to do the same and offers more advice to folks trying to preserve their plants during the hot streak.
"Help yourself out by planting the right plant in the right place so that it's matching the plant's growing conditions to the specific site you have in mind so you aren't planting a plant that requires a lot of moisture to be healthy in a dry site. Mulching helps you conserve the moisture that's in the soil so we encourage you to do that. And plant in the fall, you shouldn't be out there planting new plants in this kind of condition so wait until the fall; it's the best time of year."http://chapelboro.com/news/weather/orange-county-abnormally-dry-period/
A plan to close Ridge Road traffic in both lanes between Manning Drive and the Rams Head Parking Deck for a water line replacement project has been canceled, thanks to a contractor who resolved a technical issue.
Orange Water and Sewer Authority had recently announced that both lanes would be closed to through traffic.
But as that is no longer necessary, the contractor will continue to close only one lane in patches between Manning Drive and Boshamer Stadium until the water-line work is completed in mid-August.
Chapel Hill Transit will continue to operate on regular routes through the area, although you can expect some delays. NextBus schedules will also be affected.http://chapelboro.com/news/traffic/owasa-ridge-road-traffic-will-continue-flow-water-line-work/
The Orange Water and Sewer Authority is being honored by North Carolina for its high quality drinking water.
OWASA was one of 38 systems to receive the 2013 North Carolina Area Wide Optimization Award from the state Division of Water Resources' Public Water Supply section.
Sarah Young is the public information officer for the state Division of Water Resources. She says the award recognizes efforts to enhance the performance of water treatment systems.
"All public water supply systems have to meet very stringent requirements, but these systems met even greater requirements," says Young.
OWASA won the award due to efforts to reduce cloudiness in the water, also known as turbidity.
Kenneth Loflin, OWASA's water supply and treatment manager, says the lower level of turbidity makes water safer for consumers.
"You are limiting any opportunity for any type of giardia or bacteria that pass through your filters and get into the system, so it lowers your disinfection by-products and you're removing more organics from the water," says Loflin. "It's an all around safer product."
This isn't the first time the utility has been recognized for its clean water-OWASA also received the award in 2010 and 2012.http://chapelboro.com/news/health/owasa-wins-state-award-clean-water/
OWASA officials say Thursday's strong rains triggered an overflow of untreated wastewater from a manhole near Brigham Road in Chapel Hill.
About 13,500 gallons were spilled from 8:30 p.m. until 1 a.m. Once waters receded, OWASA workers cleaned and disinfected the area.
OWASA in is the process of designing a new, larger sewer line in the area to to increase capacity. That project is estimated to cost $840,000. Construction will start in late fall.

Thanks Michael. I've a busy period coming up, so might not get to trying these new papers for a while, but hold off sending swatches. You've already incurred enough international postage expense.

Gonzalez reinstated, Cruz DFA, Burton to Louisville to begin his "rehab", all per team press notes.
Gonzalez reinstated, Cruz DFA, Burton to Louisville to begin his "rehab", all per team press notes.
Welcome back Gonzo; I hope his son is better...
From Trent's blog...
From the Reds: "Today the Reds reinstated from the bereavement list SS Alex Gonzalez, designated for assignment IF Enrique Cruz and sent to GonLouisville on a rehabilitation assignment RHP Jared Burton (strained left hamstring)".
I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and 4,000 hits."
-Pete Rose
That's a shame.
Impress in spring training, make your major league debut, get designated for assignment.
I guess he was out of options.
Makes all the routine posts.
I'd expect him to clear waviers. He was playing at AA and the year he spent in the bigs was as a rule 5 pick so, unfortunately, it probably retarded his learning curve.
Unless someone else is desparate for a AA SS, I think he stays with us.
Cruz played 60 games with Milwaukee in 2003 as a Rule V player, hitting .085.
He waited four years to get back to the Show, and booted the first and only ball hit to him. You gotta feel bad for that...
Did You Know:
Enrique Cruz was drafted in the 13th round by the Reds in 2002 (but did not sign until he was drafted by the Yankees in the 14th round in 2003).
"It's easier to give up. I'm not a very vocal player. I lead by example. I take the attitude that I've got to go out and do it. Because of who I am, I've got to give everything I've got to come back."
-Ken Griffey Jr.
Theoretically I believe they could start his rehab the day he went on the DL. He just can't be on Cincinnati's active roster for 15 days.
Is it 30 days that he can stay down in AAA before they have to make a move with him?
30 for pitchers, 20 for position players I believe.

Comments about Lipton Herbal Pyramid Tea Bags, Blackberry Vanilla, 18 bags:
This little tea bag packs a mean punch! When I make a cup at my office, everyones head pops up and asks whats that good smell. When I drink it, this reminds me a sitting in a Mountain House in the New York catskills. Its a warm, home smelling tea. I love it iced for Spring parties.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome Taste like Blackberry Pie
By KC
from Texas
describe yourself Foodie, Health Conscious
Ordered this flavor for the first time with my last order and I must say it is awesome. Smells and tastes just like blackberry pie. Great herbal tea for anytime, just add a touch of honey for sweetness and/or enhance flavors even more. I will definitely order more of this next time. :-)
For hot tea: Pour boiling water over a tea bag and brew 4 to 6 minutes or to desired strength. For refreshing iced tea: Brew as above and chill or add ice.

If you were going to an interview at a DVD store and they ask, "Tell me about yourself," what would you say?
Talking about myself, I'd probably talk about what kind of work ethic I have ("I've always been a perfectionist, and I like to take my time and make sure everything is correct" or "I'm a really social person and I want to be in a place where I can interact and help people", etc) and strengths and weaknesses - I'd tell the truth. They're already expecting you to turn your weakness into a strength i.e "I'm a workaholic because I like to do a thorough job". You can either play the game and feed them what they want or just be honest about what your best and worst traits are and hope they find it refreshing.
I m hjaijs kkahkka muajkj oyebls .... My weak points jshkan kaimsbkabamakgajah kahhaka
Keep it work related, they don't care about your personal life. It's kind of a trick question
Talk about experiences based on work experience or what you think you would do in any given scenario related to a job
Best of luck :)

"If a man with no arms and a man with no legs started learning karate, the same light bulb would appear over every head in Japan. Thats right: Glue them together and see if it can kill a panda."
Condit can hang with and beat any WW in the world on any given night.
Condit is one of the best, most well rounded fighters in the UFC, let alone the 170 lb division. I dont think there are many fighters who can keep up to him in a 5 round fight. I dont think there is anyone active at 170 lbs who I can say would beat Condit more often then not.
This is all pre-knee injury though. The Carlos that comes back may be a completely different animal then the killer we've grown accustomed to watching. If he comes back strong, another title run is very much in the cards. Id love to see him take a rematch with Kampmann for his comeback fight.
And with respect to Tyron Woodley, it's possible Condit could win a rematch but in that 3 round affair, he would most likely have to finish Tyron (which is possible) as I think he would lose the first 2 rounds almost all the time.
As for how the Hendricks fight would have gone down had it been a 5 rounder, it's really tough to say. Hendricks trained for a 3 round fight and now he has had two 5-round fights under his belt. His preparation would be much stronger in terms of cardio and his strategy for a longer fight would be different.
Carlos Condit targets early 2015 return after complete ACL replacement
"I was walking pretty much immediately," Condit said of his March 29 surgery. "I was on crutches for a week or two; I had a brace for a little bit longer than that. Recovery is going well. It's slow going. It's a long process, but it's going well.
"Seeing my peers coming back and doing as well or better than they did before they were injured – but it's also the fact this happened in a fight. That gives me motivation."
While injuries are never welcome, they are part of the MMA cycle and happen to essentially everyone. Unfortunately, this injury came at the worst time possible for Condit, as his fight with Woodley was the co-main event of a major pay-per-view and a victory would have arguably placed him in line for a title shot.
Condit tweaked his knee while attempting to defend a takedown and did his best to fight on one leg. The contest was stopped when Woodley kicked Condit's supporting leg, causing him to collapse to the mat in agony.
Injuries of a similar nature aren't seen all that often in competition, and while part of Condit believes it was a fluky occurrence; he also recognizes it was one of Woodley's offensive moves that led to the damage.
"I think that it was a freak thing," Condit said. "I've been taken down a hell of a lot of times in fights recently and that didn't happen. It was a freak thing, but he won the fight. I'm not going to take the win away from him. But the knee injury, that would happen. You see guys step wrong and it happens. I don't know. He initiated the takedown and I got hurt."
Even though Condit has maintained high spirits through a crushing injury, he can't help but feel a little left out of the welterweight fold. Since longtime titleholder Georges St-Pierre took a hiatus from competition this past December, the 170-pound division has evolved into one of the UFC's most exciting weight classes.
Condit is unable to participate in any of that fun, something that has admittedly evolved into a source of discontent for the 30-year-old.
"It's frustrating being out all-around," Condit said. "Seeing Matt Brown going and getting the title eliminator fight (against Robbie Lawler) when I was supposed to fight him. Seeing all these guys that I'm in the mix with just moving up. I just have to watch as a spectator at this point and I have to focus of making myself better and getting to a place where I can compete again."
While "The Natural Born Killer" has several targets on his hit list for when he's finally deemed healthy, the opponent Condit wants a piece of most is Woodley. Even without the injury Condit is unhappy with his performance in that fight, and now he wants nothing more than the opportunity to redeem his performance.
"I'm going to get that rematch," Condit said. "Whether it's my first fight back or it's down the road, I'll get that rematch. I want to rematch everybody I've lost to. I'm 2-0 in rematches in my career or something like that."
By no means does the loss to Woodley consume him, but Condit's competitive spirits makes the outcome especially hard to stomach. Nevertheless, Condit will spend the months ahead focusing on rehabilitation with his target date for a return set for early next year.
The moment Condit is fit to compete, expect to see him back in the octagon with any of the top names in the loaded welterweight division.
"I'm definitely excited," Condit said. "There's a lot of excitement in the division right now and part of that is the guys I'm possibly going to be matched up against when I come back. It's a good time to be involved in the division."
I'm still trying to get that title belt. I still got some time to gain. I'm coming back better, I'm coming back stronger."
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Carlos Condit wants Tyron Woodley rematch upon return from ACL surgery
Condit talks to UFC Tonight:
"Everything is going well so far. It's a long, slow process. It's six months from surgery until I can start doing light stuff in the MMA gym. I'm making progress. I want to get that rematch with Tyron Woodley and I want the rematch with Johny Hendricks. I want to be in the title picture and get that belt around my waist."

Does Miley Cyrus NOT read the Internet? Miley and Liam Hemsworth are obviously broken up, but Miley has no idea and is STILL insisting that her wedding is on and that her engagement ring is just getting "fixed." Yeah, right.
Miley just tweeted that her ring is at the jeweler getting fixed, which explains why she hasn't worn it in weeks.
One of Miley's back-up singers tweeted that she had to have her engagement ring fixed and Miley tweeted back to her, "ugh that's the worst! I just had a similar situation except when it happens to me then everyone says my wedding is off."
If Miley keeps insisting that her wedding is still on, she's gonna look like a dumb-dumb when she actually breaks up with Liam…that is, unless we're blowing this way out of proportion and they really ARE still together?
Ken Baker of E! News, who is actually friends with Miley, went on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning to basically say, Miley and Liam have NOT broken up.
Ken says that Liam is coming home "soon" and that he and Miley will go on a public outing to be photographed together.
Not only that, but Liam's car is still parked in Miley's driveway. That's not a telltale sign that they are still together because we're sure the rest of Liam's stuff is still there too.
Do you want to hear our prediction? No? That's okay, we'll tell you anyway. We think Miley is more interested in saving face after parading her engagement ring around town and talking up a storm about her "forever" love with Liam. She doesn't want to be embarrassed when her and Liam's relationship reaches it's inevitable end. That's what we think.

I was there yesterday also, but with my family. We only rode a few rides because my mom and dad wanted clam chowder in a bread bowl at DCA. And a lot of it. No big though, we might go sometime before our Deluxe AP (I think) reached the block dates.
it was so dead yesterday I am sure it was possible the longest I waited was like 15 minutes.

Wow. We recently finished our quest to do every Disneyland ride and attraction in 2006. To think that we could have done it all in one day!?!
Me: "You just rode every ride at the Disneyland Resort in One day. What are you going to do next?"
thejoshualee: "I'm going to Disneyland!"
it was super fun, and there was help from the park being pretty slow during the first half of the day..
The thing was, we didn't even decide to do every ride in both parks till after noon.
We are about to leave the hotel now, I'll try to get the complete report on monday.

The University of Chicago Library is pleased to announce its launch of the Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE) and a new Catalog based on VuFind.
An open-source, community-based library management system, Kuali OLE was created by a partnership of some of the nation's leading university libraries, including the University of Chicago Library. Kuali OLE, which provides the Library's technical infrastructure, is intentionally designed to function with a wide range of user interfaces chosen by various individual libraries, including Chicago's new Catalog.
"We are especially pleased that by implementing Kuali OLE and VuFind we will be providing both a business system and a patron access module that are open source—planned, designed, governed and owned by the library community," said James Mouw, Associate University Librarian for Collections Services at University of Chicago and Treasurer of the Kuali OLE Board. "Community ownership of key library systems affords us the ability to manage, develop, and enhance our infrastructure as new technologies emerge and the needs of our scholarly community evolve. The ability to move quickly and effectively, working in partnership with other academic research institutions with similar needs is something we have not had with commercial systems."
Kuali OLE was founded by a partnership of research libraries that now includes University of Chicago, Indiana University (lead), SOAS—University of London, Lehigh University, Duke University, North Carolina State University, University of Florida, University of Maryland, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania and Villanova University. The partners pooled resources and expertise beginning in 2008 with several grants from the Mellon Foundation to develop this next-generation library system. Chicago and Lehigh University are the initial implementers. Other partners plan to adopt the new system in summer 2015.
UChicago Library staff members have played an integral role in the development of Kuali OLE since the design phase in 2008 and continue to do so by developing specifications, participating in software development, undertaking migration planning, providing subject specialist expertise, and testing new development. They hold several key leadership positions on the Kuali OLE team, and dozens more are participating in working groups supporting development activities. Development continues with the next Kuali OLE release due in summer 2015.

Music Tonight: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Empires and More
Besides sporting one of the best band names in recent memory, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. also makes wildly endearing, monstrously melodic Indie/Electro Pop. Detroit's Daniel Zott and Joshua Epstein started the project in 2009 as a home-recording venture, but a pair of EP releases the following year drew widespread attention, leading to a deal with Warner Bros. Records. The band released its debut full-length, It's a Corporate World, in 2011 and followed it up last year with the acclaimed The Speed of Things. Paste named that album's single, "Run," one of the best songs of 2013 and also called them one of the Top 25 live acts around. At the start of fall, the band released a new single, "James Dean," a great slice of chilled-out, slow-jam Pop. DEJJ plays Oakley's 20th Century Theater tonight at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15. • Chicago Indie Rock foursome Empires, a 2014's MidPoint Music Festival favorite, return to Cincy tonight for a 10 p.m. show at The Drinkery in Over-the-Rhine. Great Cincinnati band Pop Goes the Evil opens.Here's Ben Walpole's preview from CityBeat's official MPMF guide: Empires enters MPMF 2014 building something close to its namesake this summer. It started with strong showings at Bonnaroo and the Hangout Music Festival, continued with a June appearance on a little program called the Late Show With David Letterman, followed by a well-received four-song EP – all building toward the band's major-label debut, Orphan, released this week on Chop Shop/Island Records. The album was produced by John Congleton, who has worked with St. Vincent, The Black Angels and Explosions In The Sky, among others. You'll Dig It If You Dig: A more up-tempo The National; an artsier The Killers; a less dramatic The Horrors. Here is the video for "How Does It Feel" from Empires' most recent release, Orphan. • Stellar Cincinnati singer/songwriter Kim Taylor (read CityBeat's 2013 profile of Taylor here) headlines MOTR Pub in Over-the-Rhine tonight. Joining Taylor is Boston Indie/Americana Pop band The Grownup Noise. The band opens the free show at 10 p.m. The Grownup Noise debuted in 2007 with its inaugural release, a widely acclaimed self-titled full-length. The band recently returned with its three-years-in-the-making third LP, The Problem with Living in the Moment, which came out late last month. The Boston Herald has this to say about the new release: Calling the Grownup Noise's new work — "The Problem With Living in the Moment" — "an album" seems like a slight. Declaring the folk/rock blend a symphony is overkill, but the 11 tracks have such a orchestral sweep — swelling strings, rippling piano lines, a harmony of percussion arranged with meticulous detail. Let's call it a suite. That seems to fit. • "Foot-Stompin' " Country-tinged Rock duo Sundy Best, which originated in tiny Prestonburg, Ky., (and is now based in Lexington) plays Newport's Southgate House Revival tonight. Showtime is 9 p.m. and tickets are $15.The band's bio describes its sound as "music that re-imagines timeless classic rock of the '70s and '80s – think the Eagles and the smart, whiskey-voiced lyrics of Tom Petty and Bob Seger." Along with critical acclaim from outlets like Rolling Stone and The New York Times, the band has found success on the road and satellite radio. and has even scored buzz via attention from the CMT television network. The duo is gearing up for the Dec. 2 release of its latest album, Salvation City. Here's Sundy Best's video for "Lotta Love," a track from the album Bring Up the Sun.

Music Tonight: Joe Bonamassa, Shaggy and More
Modern Blues/Rock guitar hero Joe Bonamassa might not be a household name, but he has a gigantic fan base. Tonight, many of those fans will fill Music Hall to watch the six-string superstar do his thang. I just drove by Music Hall and he has multiple trucks and busses parked around back, one adorned with the motto, "Always on the Road," a reference to how he has built such a big following. Bonamassa does make records, though. His most recent is Different Shades of Blues. Here's what CityBeat's Brian Baker had to say about the LP in his preview of the show (click here for the full preview):Bonamassa's latest album, Different Shades of Blue, is a full-tilt electric experience, kicking off with a brief taste of Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)" — Bonamassa was peeling off Hendrix licks when he was 7 — and roaring into incendiary originals like the scalding "Oh Beautiful," the funky "Love Ain't a Love Song," the relentless "Never Give All Your Heart" and the sinewy title track. Tonight's show starts at 8 p.m. Ticket prices range from $79-$125. • Danish Dance Pop trio New Politics headlines a triple bill of up-and-coming bands playing Bogart's tonight. The group joins fellow on-the-verge acts Bad Suns and SomeKindaWonderful for the show. New Politics were in town this past summer to play the Bunbury Music Festival, alongside tourmates Paramore and Fall Out Boy. This fall the group teased new material with the release of the single "Everywhere I Go (Kings and Queens)." The group's next album, Vikings, is slated for release next year. Click here for CityBeat's full preview of the show. • Reggae crossover star Shaggy plays the Thompson House in Newport tonight. Local band Elementree Livity Project and veteran Columbus, Ohio, squad The Ark Band open the 7 p.m. show. Tickets are $17. Shaggy became a superstar in the '90s/early '00s with hits like "Boombastic," "Angel" and "It Wasn't Me," a huge smash (you can still hear it on Pop radio to this day) from his six-times Platinum album, Hot Shot, from 2000. Shaggy has continued to release music and tour the world. Last year, Shaggy released Out of Many, One Music, an all-Reggae album that was produced by the legendary duo Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.

Music Tonight: Nils Frahm and Dawn of Midi
Sonic adventurer Nils Frahm performs tonight at the Contemporary Arts Center. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $20. The German-born composer is touring behind his most recent album, 2013's Spaces, which was compiled from footage from various performances over the previous two years. His live presentation is something to behold, as Jason Gargano writes in his CityBeat preview of the show:Nils Frahm's live performances are kind of hard to believe. He sits alone on stage, surrounded by multiple pianos and a few other gadgets. He moves back and forth between instruments, slowly building and altering the music as it unfolds, all of which is done without the use of loops or playbacks. It's an impressive achievement, as Frahm's sonic output is a whirl of intricately layered yet never fussy arrangements that bring to mind a meld of Steve Reich and Keith Jarrett. Opening the show is Brooklyn's Dawn of Midi, an Avant Garde trio that combines elements of Jazz, Krautrock, Electronica and experimental Rock music and has also been drawing fawning critical raves. Radiolab host Jad Abumrad said of them, "I've seriously never seen anything like these guys." Should be a fascinating night of music.

Obama hold a morning campaign event in Norfolk, Va., then heads to New York to tape a Letterman appearance that will air Wednesday night. He ends his day in Washington, DC, at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards.
McCain and Palin are in Fairfax, Va., Wednesday for an 11 am ET rally, and then Palin breaks off on her own.
She heads home to Alaska on Wednesday, arriving in Fairbanks about 11 pm ET -- to be in town in time to see her son ship off to Iraq on Thursday (which -- have you heard? -- is happening on 9/11).
Palin's interviews with ABC's Charles Gibson take place Thursday and Friday in Alaska, with the first portion to air during "World News" Thursday -- and much more on "Nightline," "GMA," and elsewhere.
Also in the news:
Vote no, says Dr. No: "At a press conference in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, [Rep. Ron] Paul plans to urge voters to support one of the third-party candidates for president," Michael Falcone reports in The New York Times.
Paul will be joined by Ralph Nader, Bob Barr, and Cynthia McKinney at the National Press Club -- and the foursome will sign a pledge to end the Iraq war and repeal the Patriot Act, per ABC's Z. Byron Wolf.
Al Franken is good enough and smart enough, at least to win the Democratic primary in Minnesota: "After trouncing their primary opponents, Republican U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, DFLer Al Franken and Independence Party candidate Dean Barkley are squaring off for a three-way free-for-all that promises to be one of the costliest, most vigorously fought high-stakes races in the country," Patricia Lopez and Kevin Duchschere write in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Congress is back -- with low expectations. "The session ahead is likely to create nothing more than further finger-pointing and accusations of who is to blame for a do-nothing Congress," Reid Wilson writes for Real Clear Politics. "From energy legislation to a second economic stimulus package, both parties could score big political victories over the coming weeks. Instead, each party will use the other's inaction and reluctance to negotiate as excuses to hammer the other over the head."
The Kicker:
"I don't think violent resistance is necessarily the answer, but I do think opposition and refusal is imperative." -- William Ayers, in a comic strip (of sorts) explaining his actions, and not necessarily helping Barack Obama.
"Lightsabers. " -- John McCain, to Marie Claire, on his weapon of choice if Barack Obama challenged him to a duel.

No, it is not the movie director, Michael Moore. It is the hockey player. Unfortunately, he prefers the name Mike Moore. The Predators have sign Moore to a two-way contract worth $550,000 in the NHL and $105,000 in the AHL. Read the press release from the Nashville Predators after the jump.
Nashville, Tenn. (July 3, 2012) – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has signed free agent defenseman Mike Moore to a one-year, two-way contract worth $550,000 at the NHL level and $105,000 at the AHL level.
Moore, 27 (12/12/84), has spent that past four seasons in the San Jose organization, posting 20 points (4g-16a) and 85 penalty minutes in 62 games with its AHL affiliate, the Worchester Sharks, in 2011-12. In 254 career AHL games, the Calgary, Alta., native has 72 points (14g-58a) and 365 penalty minutes since 2008. The former captain of both Worchester (2010-11) and Princeton University during his senior season (2007-08) has also appeared in six NHL games with the Sharks in 2010-11, notching a goal and seven penalty minutes.
The 6-1, 201-pound blueliner spent four seasons at Princeton from 2004-08, posting 52 points (14g-38a) and 154 penalty minutes in 121 games. In 2007-08, he led the Tigers to a ECAC title, being named First-Team All-America and the conference's Best Defensive Defenseman.

Why doesn't he respond when I text him? should I text him again?
I texted the guy I like about a half hour ago and he hasn't responded. This has happened before so then I texted him again like a half hour later and... Show More
Never mind, he just texted me back. I was freaking out for nothing! I love being wrong. =)
Most Helpful Opinion
don't text him again, if he's really interested in you he'll text you first. Guys are as much hooked to their phones as girls. That meaning, they check their phones often to see if someone has texted or called. If he really likes you, he'll want to be texting you all the time. He wouldn't want to go 5 days without talking to you. Don't talk to him and see what he does. Good luck :)

Avalon remains one of the most attractive full-size sedans going, despite renewed attention from traditional rivals.
Standard 268-horsepower V6/six-speed-automatic-transmission; Camry-based gas-electric Hybrid optional.
It's stunning to imagine the car that personified the word "beige" for its first three generations can be so head-turning in its latest form. The Avalon gained itself a stellar reputation as a car that successfully "out-Buicked" Buick, and as a bonus, took some of the American brand's aging customer base. To combat an ever-increasing average driver age, Toyota went radical with the version launched for the 2013 model year. The styling alone actually looks more youthful than the Camry from which it was spawned. Unchanged for 2015 is the 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and six-speed transmission that hauls down decent fuel economy (21 city/31 highway). The Avalon also joined the Camry in offering a gas-electric Hybrid model that uses a 156-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine working in tandem with an electric motor to produce 200 net horsepower. A continuously variable transmission is standard for the Hybrid: Toyota claims the fuel-miserly sedan achieves the same 40 mpg city and 39 highway numbers as the Camry, which makes sense as the systems are identical and both sedans are very close in weight. As before, regardless of the engine, only the front wheels are driven. The improved interior features front seats that are more supportive with better side bolstering while the concave-shaped dashboard results in more cabin room. By its very nature the base Avalon shows up with an abundance of standard equipment, although for the full-on luxury experience you'll need to spring for a premium leather interior, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, larger wheels, navigation/communications systems and an up-level stereo, to list just a few options.

So is anyone else playing this? (it came out Tuesday or Wednesday...)
- interface quite similar to GTA
- atmosphere and artwork pretty cool; period-appropriate
- connections to the movie are neat; at one point Sonny Corleone accosts your character who is watching a conversation FROM the movie with a comment like "hey! kid! you think you're watching a movie or something? Get out of here!"
- lots of film clips from the original movie
- very customizable character, with the ability to change most features of his appearance
- some cool 'new york' scenery and moments... driving along the Brooklyn Bridge or the Manhattan Bridge as night falls and the lights come on is pretty damn cool
- missions 'from the movie' including a flight to California to see a man about a horse... or at least part of a horse.
- interrogations and threatening modes that are *slightly* similar to "The Punisher"; you can make use of the environment including, but not limited to open firey ovens, low-hanging tombstones, broken windows, rooftop ledges and so on
I am having fun playing the game but I have doubts about its replayability... it's fun NOW, I don't know that I would pick it up again in a couple months the way I did with GTA, especially GTA San Andreas. GTA bears the best comparisons with it, and I'd say it comes off like a custom mod for GTA with some funky stuff layered on. Basically you've played this game before, just not quite like this.
My advice for players:
1) Do a bunch of the missions first before bothering with attempts to extort businesses; you will get a bunch of respect and cash, which in turn will translate into skills and upgrades, which will make it easier to extort businesses and take over rackets. I was a "made man" or Soldier before I did most of my extorting. By that point I could go in and many of the businesses would just turn over the cash without a fight.
2) Especially when taking out other mobsters outside a business you want to extort, start with your fists wherever possible. Don't know if it's intentional or not in the AI but if you start punching one guy, most of the other mobsters will run in to help him in hand to hand. You can usually punch the crap out of all of them easily. UNless they're Capo rank or above, which makes it harder to defeat them in HTH because they can block better and punch harder. You also get more Respect if you defeat other mobsters in HTH. NOTE: if your 'vendetta' level is high, then this does not apply... once you're near to a mob war, the other mobs will start Tommy Gunning you from across the road even if you're locked in fisticuffs with their buddy!
3) When taking out warehouses, hubs or compunds, I have found that the following strategies work well: either take a car and ram through the roadblocks into the interior of the defended area and then take cover and engage in gunfight OR stand off and throw some bombs/dynamite/molotovs at the cluster of enemy mobsters at the entrance to thin them out a bit. This will make like MUCH easier for you.
4) In most churches, there is a crooked FBI guy in the basement. Bribe him to put the screws on other families and ease up on the Corleones and your VENDETTA level will go down across the board. Useful if you don't want to start a mob war.
5) Upgrade your favourite weapons to Level 2 as soon as possible. Level 3 can wait, as most of those upgrades are on the hundreds of thousands of $$. The black market weapon upgrades are marked on your map with the weapon icon and the little spray of stars beside it.
That's it for now. Looking forward to feedback from anyone else playing.

Norm did a beautiful job on a custom Adirondack Chair I wanted made for my mother. The finished product was a solid chair made with stunning craftsmanship! Norm was very easy to talk to and knew exactly what my expectations were. He also provided excellent communication by keeping me posted on the quick progress of the project which took about a week to complete. Very reliable and excellent work!
We wanted a 10' picnic table for an outside screened porch at the coast. After finding Norm on the internet and seeing other tables that he had built, we decided on a stained gray 10' table with 4 side & 2 end benches that could be pushed underneath when not in use and not take up as much room on the porch. It was a great solution for replacing 3 mismatched white plastic round tables and chairs that were always dirty and mildewy. Now we have a good looking, very functional, sturdy table to accommodate our family and neighborhood cookouts and can seat 14!! Norm was great to work with and very responsive!! He finished the table in record time, delivered it and was quick to respond and resolve a minor adjustment! We would definitely use him again and recommend him to our friends!
Norm was great to work with on our project. We brought his tables all the way to Barcelona! Thanks Norm!
Beautiful work and great service! Would love to work with Norm again!
We purchase two king chairs from Norm. The chairs are heavy and well made. He delivered them on time and was very nice to work with. Hoping to purchase a 12 ft dining table before Thanksgiving. Thanks Norm
I found Norman online immediately loved his work & his prices!
placed my order for the long white picnic table & had my dream table in a week! I highly recommend working with Norman - he kept me up to date on the progress & delivered on time!
Norm form Norms Tables does great work, I purchased a 6 ft 3 piece picnic table and he was very professional and completed the project in less than 48 hrs. He kept me updated on the progress and notified me imediately upon completion. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for quality, handmade furniture and will definitely work with him in the future.
Norm built me a 12' table, with 6 benches. His workmanship is great, he built it incredibly quickly and delivered it on time! We love our new table, our family has been eating outside almost every night! He did a great job on it, I would not hesitate to recommend Norm to anyone looking for wood tables/chairs. I'll definitely be calling on him for future projects!
I have know Norm for over 5years. He has the tools and the know how to get the job done. His tables are A+ quality. I have every bit of confiedence in Mr. Timo,and his abilities to make the absolute perfect table to cutomers specifications!
I wanted a small table for my screened porch, but also wanted to use this as a card table for when we were entertaining friends. I wanted something different from the normal stuff you find on the market. I called Norm and we discussed that ideas that we were thinking about and with his help and imagination we got exactly what we were looking for. Norm completed our project of a small card/dining table with four benches in a very timely manner, and the price was exceptionally reasonable. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. We also had him build us a couple of chairs for our porch, which also turned out to be a beautiful set. Norm is definitely passionate about his work, and we were very impressed by the level of quality that was put in to our project, and done so soon amazed us. We will definitely recommend him to all of our friends and will seek him out when we need more furniture for our yard. It was a pleasure to work with him, we were very happy with the interactions we had with him both over the phone and in person. If there was a higher rating to give him, he would be worthy of several more stars. Thank you so much Norm for the beautiful furniture you have made us, we will treasure it for a long time. Your knowledge and craftsmanship is exceptional.
Norm built 3 park benches and 2 large picnic tables for our neighborhood park area. He was flexible and accommodating in meeting our installation requirements. Entire process from order placement to final delivery / installation took about 2 weeks, which we felt was very good turnaround time. All items were built to agreed-upon specifications. Thanks, Norm!
Thank you for the opportunity Tom.
Feel free to call any time.
I hired Norm to refinish a set of patio furniture that had been somewhat neglected through two Chicago winters and two Tallahassee summers. By the time he was done, the set was almost good as new again. Addiitionally, Norm is very pleasant going about his business and communicates promptly.
Hope Thanks giving went well for you.
So happy I could have that finished for you on time.
Hope to hear from you again.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Norm. He was quick to respond to my questions, worked collaboratively, and went far beyond my expectations to ensure I got the best table (a giant 12ft outdoor table), at very reasonable price, and within a very, very reasonable time-frame.
I wish everyone took their business and reputation so seriously. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Norm's Tables. He won't disappoint.
Thank you for the chance to serve you and a wonderful review.
We ordered a 5-foot picnic table, Norm had it made for us the next day (!), and we love it. Great workmanship at the right price. Norm is friendly, helpful, and skilled in his work. We would certainly buy from him again. Thanks, Norm!

A. Most people want the american classic six foot table.
They never ask about other sizes or styles.
Some styles may be pricey.
But other sizes on the other hand can be a better buy.
Small changes can really beautify the table of your choice with out a large change in price.
The american classic six foot is made entirely
out of 2" x 4" treated lumber.
Just changing the table top boards or the seats to a 6" or 8" board can make a big difference in the look of that table.
A. Think of what you really want, size, style, painted or not?
How many people will you have at your party's?
How much do you want to spend on a picnic table?
You should call for a price quote.
Because you will not believe what you can get for so little.
All of my tables are hand made to order.
By a local craftsman.
All solid wood and will last a life time.
Any style or size you prefer.
{tallahassee area}
A. Plastic will crack and break. Steal will rust Painted or stained treated wood last for a long long time. Not prepackaged or self assemble. what I do can not be found in any retail store.
A. {price} is it competitive to retail stores? Yes they are.
{construction} how well is it made? Only the best
{production} are these mass produced? Never mass produced
~~~~~~~Every thing is made one at a time by hand~~~~~~~~~
A. What they are looking for in a picnic table.
How much are they willing to spend on the size they want.
Is the quality of what they are buying top noch for the price they are spending.
What other options do they have in this field and what is the quality of the other options out there.
Will the man doing the work work with you or will he just make you one more number in his book.
A. I give personal attention to each and every customer.
Never will you get the run around on an automated answering service or be put on hold for any length of time.
If you should go to voice mail you will be called back in less than thirty minutes.
I work with only the best of materials and aways look to save you "the customer" money without skimping on what is needed for the job.
A. Meeting new people and making them a happy customer for a posible return visit.
If i can not give you "the customer" the very best price for your money i will be glad to tell you who can.
But to this day i never ever had to do so.
There is nothing like the smile on your face when the job is done before time is due and you know you got the best quality for the least amount of money out there.
A. What sizes do you offer and how fast can you do this in?
well I tell them I offer all sizes, shapes and styles.
All colors of paint if need be.
All shades of stain they could want.
But most of all is the look on there face when I tell them that they can have it in one day if they need it that fast.
Painted or stained takes a little longer.
A. A man "john" called me one day about nine a.m. and asked if I could build him a table.
So we talked it over and decided on a ten foot
picnic table made completely out of two by eight prime treated lumber.
I gave him a price and he was very happy with it.
Then he hit me with the low down.
His wifes birthday was the next day and he would like to have it by then if possible and could he pick it up on his lunch hour?
Well I told him to call me about an hour before he came just to make sure I didn't need more time.
The next morning he called as he said he would.
All I had to say to him was it has been ready since last night come and get it.
He was a very happy young man!
A. I take pride in what I do and make many long lasting friends doing it.
It is getting harder and harder to find something made of high quality at a good price now a days.
Big business is trying to take over and under cut
the small business man.
But what you get from them is a cheap price for a "cheap product"....
Dont cut the small business man out.
Thats where YOUR quality comes from.
A. I like to meet people face to face and make them happy.
Working one on one with the public is the best way to get to know your community
