I thought the native iso is 200? Did you expand the low ISO to get it to shoot at 160 and 100?
you consider yourself a photographer??? all pics are out of focus, the light on the model is totally wrong and those pics are totally useless
the camera works in an ISO range from 100 to 25600. ow, how do you get 50 ISO shots in there. Then, if what we can see on your shots here is really A7 picture quality, I will not hurry to buy one, honestly, are you not cheating us somewhere, like with the HX300 shots on RX10 galleries. Those pictures look terrible.

Companion forum thread to: Do It Yourself Projects to Reduce Canister Stove Weight
Excellent article Roger, and I might add that I enjoy all your stove articles and consider you one of the foremost authorities on the subject. I mentioned on this site a while back that wouldn't it be nice if a company such as Coleman, MSR, Snowpeak or Primus would design a remote canister stove with a smaller lighter weight burner and pot stand. They are just so much easier to use with a windscreen which I feel is essential with most backpacking stoves. Untill the stove companies design such a thing we have the option to modify our existing stoves as illustrated in your aritcle. Thanks
Backpacking stove companies spend boku dollars on R&D and there's hardly a stove out there that can claim these weights. Obviously there are the safety concerns, such as the braided metal tubes as mentioned in the article that don't allow them to use some of the less-durable materials. But I often wonder if a lot of it isn't that the industry simply doesn't see "a few ounces" as being important. Are we, as the lightweight set going to look back on these conversations and low-budget lab tests with I-told-you-so looks on our faces a decade or two from now?My compliments to Roger, Bill, Mike and Tony for not only their ingenuity but for their precision and craftsmanship as well.
I would like to give my thanks to Bill, Mike and Tony for their assistance with this article. Without their many helpful replies to my many questions, I could not have written this.Roger Caffin
Great article Roger, it has given me some ideas to make my Pocket Rocket even lighter, I like Bill's "the Son of Balrog" Ti leg/pot support design, When I sort out a few problems my final version will be made of mostly Ti. I am aimimg to get the stove under 100g. Maybe I can call my stove "The Daughter of Mt Doom".Tony Beasley
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on modifying a Burton Remote Canister Stove Stand like the MSR Pocket Rocket in the artical. I'm hesitatent to modify my Crux that way but I'd love to add the pre-heater tube to a converter for it to take remote canisters (and pay the slight weight penalty vs. doing something like the Pocket rocket).
> Burton Remote Canister Stove Stand Um ... What?Do you mean the Brunton Vapor AF?If so, that stove will take an inverted canister as it stands.
No, this: http://www.brunton.com/product.php?id=596 (the Brunton "Canister Stove Stand"). I don't think its quite out yet.It converts a sit on top canister stoves to a remote one; I think it would be kinda cool to add the pre-heater tube referenced in the artical so you could flip the canister upside down in cold weather.
Thanks. I have enquired about it.CheersRoger
Thanks Roger, thats a big help!

Neat, Markill had something similar recently... glad to see one form a more accesible (to the US) company....
ya, although the Markill sounds like its a little heavy.I'm hoping that this one is in the 2-3 oz range. I dont know though... it says its made with Stainless Steel..Look forward to hearing whats up
Edited by nanookofthenorth on 02/15/2008 14:15:31 MST.
Pulling this one out of the archives.Roger, regarding your custom connection to allow a powermax canister to run on the windpro...I have the windpro and even with an inverted canister, it gives me issues when temps drop very low (I have complained about this before - I have actually given up on fuel stoves for deep winter) so this adapter may be what I am looking for. I saw the powermax fuel at my local outfitters (they actually have boxes and boxes) and they told me they haven't heard that they will be discontinued anytime soon (good news!). So I want to give this a try. The Fyrestorm Ti they have there is over $200...I'd rather make the adapter. :)Does the powermax fuel really perform that well to be worth doing this?Have you been using the adapter?If so, how is it holding up?Are all the "new" powermax cartridges the same, or do you still notice the 2mm difference you mentioned in the article?Any help would be great.I'm surprised there wasn't more interest in this adapter (beautiful job by the way) - if the powermax fuel really does work as well as everyone says, it seems this is the answer to all my problems! ;)Edit:Quesion # 2:The reason the mainstream manufacturers use that heavy braid-covered hose (which is more commonly used for fuel-lines in cars) is probably that they can't find anything else lighter which is readily available and affordable (and neither can I)Are there any strength or heat issues with using aluminum braided lines? I haven't checked size availability or anything, but I've see them on the wall at the local bike shop for about $20.
Edited by Steve_Evans on 01/24/2009 23:45:54 MST.
Hi Steve> they told me they haven't heard that they [Powermax canisters] will be discontinued anytime soonThis is my understanding too. Coleman know there are many of these stoves out there and that owners really love them, so Coleman has said they feel some responsibility on them to maintain the fuel supply.Now, cold weather operation. The three gases used have boiling points as follows:n-butane: -0.5 Cisobutane: -12 Cpropane: -42 CIf it is too cold for one of the gases to boil, then any canister with that gas in it is going to have a problem. Obviously straight propane would be the best gas to use, but in hot weather the pressure inside the Powermax and screw-thread canisters would be too high for safety - see my article on exploding canisters. (That said, you can buy small propane canisters, but they have a different fitting and are heavier.)So how well do the various gas mixes perform?Like this:This shows how the internal pressures vary. (The curve has appeared in some of my other articles and also in the FAQ I maintain.)Key point: once the pressure drops below 1 atmosphere or 14 psia, the canister STOPS working. And this is a function of temperature. You can clearly see that the 60%n-butane/40%propane in the Powermax and the 70%isobutane/30% propane in the Kovea canisters give the best cold weather performance.> Have you been using the adapter?I have carried it on some shoulder-season trips when I was not sure about the weather. And it *was* useful when the evening temperature dropped below freezing a couple of times. I used my Snow Peak GST-100 stove on it.> Are all the "new" powermax cartridges the same, or do you still notice the> 2mm difference you mentioned in the article?The change in profile of the Lindal valve fitting seems to be permanent. It is due to a change in the canister crimping machine.> Are there any strength or heat issues with using aluminum braided lines?Well, there shouldn't be. After all, the hose is not meant to get very warm, let alone hot. But the metal braid is vital to protect the plastic hose inside and to prevent it coming adrift at the ends as well.But I have not seen the stuff you are referring to, so I have no idea whether it might be suitable or not. I don't even know whether it could be made gas-tight.Cheers
Roger, thanks for the reply. I've spent the last day or two re-reading all the stove articles. Great info.I picked up a few powermax canisters from my local shop, but they only had the 300g containers. I'm not sure where to get the smaller ones - but the hunt has just begun!I may hold off an making the adapter as an extreme just went on sale in the gear forum. If all goes well, it will be mine!
We have been using an inverted canister on the MSR WindPro for around 18 months. The feed cable is long enough to just turn the canister upside down. Although this brings the canister closer to the flame, we have not had a problem with it overheating provided the windscreen is in place. It works great! Would love to make it lighter, but it looks too fiddly and technical for me.
Allison,The Windpro is great. I actually love mine. But, it fails to put out sufficient heat when the temperatures drops below about -20*C. It can literally take an hours to melt snow. Sometimes, I feel like the stove is equivalent to a simple candle. This winter I have been using a bushbuddy, but my trips have been limited to 2 days. It can be a bit of a pain to heat water during the day for lunch, not so much for evening as I just sit around anyway. I'm really hoping that the extreme will solve my issues.
Hi Steve> it fails to put out sufficient heat when the temperatures drops below about -20*C. It> can literally take an hours to melt snow.Check the graph I posted and what sort of canister you were using. It sounds as though it was one of the less cold-suited ones. You have two options:1) Use a canister more suited to the cold (more propane and iso-butane instead of n-butane)2) Warm up the canister.I recommend doing both. Remember: the canisters are rated to 50 C; while you will get an ouch reflex when you touch something over 40 C. As long asd you can happily touch the canister it is safe.A bit of liquid water poured into the concave base of the canister is a good start. A little bit of radiation from the stove is also good, provided you monitor the temperature.Cheers
I've tried a number of different approaches. The best to date is spilling some water from the pot onto the canister. But the effect doesn't last long. Warming the canister before lighting is good for a bit, but it quickly cools. The wood fire option is my favorite right now, but it takes a long time and requires constant attention - however, you save some major weight with this technique. Deal is done on the xtreme stove now anyway - will let you know how it performs.Thanks for the help.Steve
Well, performance of the xtreme is much better then the windpro, but it took 153 grams of fuel to turn snow into 4 liters of boiling water. That can't be right...can it? I would pour some of the hot water onto the canister but the benefit didn't seem logical as I would then have to add more snow to the pot which meant opening the lid and letting heat out. I'm fashioning a CCF sleeve for the canister with high hopes. Roger, in your picture, it shows you have the powermax canister sitting directly on the snow, is that how you run your stove? or was that just for the photo.

The Lego Mouse Turns Childhood Memories Into Hard Work
Well, folks, it's not every day I see Legos converted into more useful things. Sure, I had a host of Legos when I was a kid–I favored arming mine with small Lego weapons and making vast interstellar space fleets of horribly mismatched ships–but even I couldn't have conceived of this device: the Lego Mouse.
Yes, it's a mouse, made to look like a single huge (for a Lego) brick. It's compatible with both Windows and Mac, and it's a basic two button mouse with a scroll wheel, along with an 800 DPI sensor and a USB connection. The critical difference here is that it's shaped like a huge red Lego brick.
And if you're desperate to push a big red Lego around your desk to move your mouse pointer, then you too can get one of these for the pretty high price of $31.96.

Handmade Art Dolls
Strange Little Girls was launched in 2011, with a range of cute and creepy, Gothic style, cloth dolls with buttons for eyes. My ideology was simple then, as it is now. I just wanted to make art for people like myself, for the Strange Little Girls, the Goth girls, the hippies, the dreamers, the one of a kind originals, who never quite figured out how to fit in. Most of all, as a vegan I wanted my art to be ethical, kind to the environment and cruelty free. My work now includes art dolls made from a variety of textiles and clays, with hand painted features. Some of my dolls are dark and Gothic, some are bright and bohemian, some are sprinkled with a little fairy dust, but all are 100% cruelty free. Every art doll I make is one of a kind. All are hand made from my own original patterns, using a mix of new, and good quality recycled materials. A certificate of authenticity is provided with every doll. Art dolls can be purchased from the Strange Little Girls Etsy shop.
Monster High Repaints
Always on the lookout for new challenges, in 2013 I customised my first Monster High doll and immediately I was hooked. Their delicate features, unusual skin colours, and freedom of movement provide the perfect playground for the fertile imagination. Many hours of work go into each customisation project. I begin by removing the factory paint, and if necessary, the hair. The faces are repainted using a variety of art materials, all fixed in place with a UV resistant sealer. Hair is replaced either by re-rooting, or with a hand made wig. Clothing and most accessories are hand made, so each doll is a one of a kind original. When Monster High repaints are available, they can be found in the Etsy shop.
Please note, Strange Little Girls art dolls and repaints are collectors' items, for display only. Due to the delicate nature of the hand drawn, needle felted, and hand stitched detail, they are not intended for children under the age of 14. They are not toys.
Fine Art & Home Decor
When I am not making art dolls, I love to paint and draw. In recent years, I have worked mostly in acrylics, although I sometimes work in other mediums too, such as graphite, coloured pencil, pastels and ink. My paintings feature faeries, mermaids, vampires, Gothic girls, ghosts and Strange Little Girls of all kinds. Original paintings and other hand painted items are occasionally offered for sale on Etsy. Printed merchandise, such as greeting cards, T-shirts, and accessories can be purchased from the Strange Little Girls Zazzle store.

Who Are Your Photos Really For?
When you make a portrait of someone, who are you trying to please? The subject? Yourself? The editor of a publication?
All three? (Heaven forbid.)
As an editorial shooter, I was always trying to please me first and the publication second. And if I made the subject happy, too, that was fine. But I never expected to please all three.
More after the jump.
Olaf Blecker, who is featured in the current edition of The F STOP (and who shot the above portrait of author Phillip Roth) is absolutely not trying to please his subjects. In fact, some people specifically request that they not be shot by him. Which, IMO, is one of the main reasons why his photos are so interesting.
Magazines (WIRED comes to mind) do not exist only to be filled with namby-pamby, flattering photos of people. (How boring would that be?) And yet, if your first goal is to please the person sitting for your photo, that is exactly where you might be headed.
Finding a unique (and perhaps less-than-flattering) lighting style can be the first step in defining a new look for yourself. In its current issue, the F STOP magazine interviews Blecker, who shares lighting info, post-processing techniques and weaves a very interesting discussion on the different forces at play in creating an interesting portrait.
For instance, in the photo above, he is working with two lights (one in an umbrella, one in a diffused reflector) with some very simple post processing. I wouldn't shoot my mother-in-law like that, but I find Blecker's approach very interesting. And it has me thinking about my own lighting.
See the full interview at the F STOP mag here, and see more of Blecker's work at his website.

Monitoring of Intubation and Ventilation During Resuscitation

- How to Read a Study Record
Airway control and ventilation is vital during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in cardiac arrest. Endotracheal intubation is the gold standard for airway control, but several studies have shown high rates of unrecognized placements of the tube in the esophagus instead of in the airway out-of-hospital. This is lethal. There are no failproof technique for recognising such mistakes clinically in the cardiac arrest situation. Changes on the air volume in the lungs with ventilation changes the impedance (resistance to alternating current) through the thorax. This impedance is already measured routinely by the defibrillators used during CPR. We propose that we can measure ventilation volumes and also discover failed intubations by monitoring this impedance during CPR with the possibility of giving feedback on both to the rescuers.

On the anesthesiologist manned ambulance in Oslo ventilation volumes during CPR will be controlled with a ventilator, the tidal volume varied in random order between 500, 700 and 100 ml, and the volumes be measured continuously as will the impedance between the defibrillator electrodes. In case of failed CPR, the patient will be declared dead. Thereafter the lungs will be ventilated with 700 ml followed by removal of the endotracheal tube, placement of an endotracheal tube in the esophagus and ventilation of this tube, again with monitoring of the impedance.

Compton: Parkinson's, hypertension may be put on Agent Orange list
Q: I understand that the VA is considering adding Parkinson's disease to the list of conditions caused by Agent Orange. Do you know where that issue stands?
A: The VA has a working group looking at adding ischemic heart disease, hypertension and Parkinson's disease to the list of presumptive conditions from exposure to Agent Orange. The Institute of Medicine reviews potential conditions every two years and provides that information to the VA.
As a Vietnam vet with hypertension, I will keep watch on this. When a final decision is made, I will make that public.
Q: In the latest "Veterans' Health Today" letter, 24 Hour Fitness has a special rate for veterans. What do you need for proof to get enrolled?
A: I contacted the 24 Hour Fitness in Camarillo and significantly lowered the rate I was paying. Your discharge, VA medical card, or military ID will work.
Q: What are the requirements needed to be eligible for the state Distinguished Veteran Pass program?
A: The Distinguished Veteran Pass program is for veterans who are residents of California and have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, veterans who were prisoners of war, and veterans with a service-connected disability of 50 percent or greater who served during a wartime period.
The free lifetime pass entitles the holder to the use of all basic state park system-operated facilities at no charge. This pass is also good for county parks. This office will provide application forms and specific details on the program.
For those veterans with a disability rating of 50 percent or higher, the VA will provide a letter stating that the veteran had an honorable discharge, their VA disability rating, and that the veteran served during a wartime period.
Proof of residency requires only a California driver's license.

Lipo30 Review
The safest and most effective way to tell if a diet pill will produce results is to look at the label. If you see a formula with a ridiculously long list of supposedly scientific sound names, watch out. If you find a formula that hides its ingredients behind a proprietary blend, then that should send up another red flag. If the price tag is ridiculously high and you only see a few popular ingredients on the label, then keep a firm grip on your credit card. However, what about simple formulas that play it safe and simple?
Lipo30, for example, claims to work by using clinically proven ingredients in their clinically proven amounts, and when used correctly, these same ingredients can help you lose more weight than ever before. Backed by science and developed by professionals, Lipo30 appears to be a safe and effective formula that targets fat from multiple angles. No fancy packaging. No celebrity endorsements. No enormous claims for extreme success. Just pure and simple claims for weight loss.
We've reviewed a lot of diet pills and products and for the most part, we see the same claims to burn fat, suppress, appetite, and increase energy over and over and over again. If you were to judge solely on the claims alone, Lipo30 would seem like an ordinary run-of-the-mill formula. Yet with its glowing customer reviews and increasing popularity in the market, we can't help but wonder, what will this product work when so many others have failed?
Does Lipo30 Have Natural Weight Loss Ingredients?
If you were to take a closer look at Lipo30's ingredients you'd see that it keeps its formula to the bare essentials, providing consumers with time-tested ingredients backed by clinical studies. A few of the ingredients are as follows:
• Phytosome Green Tea – Rich in Catechins and antioxidants, Phytosome Green Tea can boost your metabolism while cleansing the body of harmful environmental toxins.
• African Mango – This rare and exotic superfruit is packed with fiber and antioxidants, working with your digestive system to keep your appetite under control.
• Chromax – A patented form of chromium, this ingredient keeps your blood sugar in check and is commonly used among diabetics to keep insulin levels from dropping or spiking.
• Cissus Quadrangularis – Studies have shown that this ingredient can speed recovery time and reduce the risk of injury, and there is evidence to suggest that this ingredient may promote weight loss as well.
Is Lipo30 Safe?
Because Lipo30 has green tea, it is possible that Lipo30 could potentially cause certain side effects, the most common being things like jitters and trouble sleeping. However, most customers and reviews we have seen so far seem to report few if any side effects, even with this amount of caffeine.
Is Lipo30 a Viable Diet Pill?
Lipo30 uses what are clearly clinically proven weight loss ingredients. Some may think that because Lipo30 does not commonly cause side effects according to customer reviews, this supplement must not be effective enough or strong enough to promote healthy weight loss. So far though, we have found that reviews seem to tell a much better story.
From what we can tell, Lipo30 seems to offer the best of all sides, giving customers a real opportunity to get the best that natural diet pills can offer. We are not saying that Lipo30 will help every person every time. However, based on our experience, we can say that Lipo30 has a very good chance of coming as close as a diet pill really can for an affordable price, which is not something that we can say a great deal of other diet pills. You can read more about Lipo30 here.

We were so thrilled not only with Stacy London's answers to our questions about how to look and feel better in our clothes, but also the amazing sale that she and her Style for Hire team put together for Gilt.com, that we went back and asked for even more tips! Samantha Brown and Kim Naci were kind of enough to give tips on everything from slimming your lower body to creating curves. Read on and then shop on Gilt.com to find your perfect pieces!
"In order to minimize a larger bottom half, choose pieces that will keep the attention up around your face and define a waistline to create an hourglass figure. Chunky necklaces, open necklines, and belted dresses are a great way to do this," says Style for Hire's Samantha Brown on how to slim your lower body. She suggests looking for A-line skirts in dark colors, boot-cut jeans or trousers in dark washes/colors, tops with embellishment or ruffle detail (to keep the attention off the bottom half), shape wear or hosiery, a wrap dress with a V-neckline, and boat-neck tops. Kim Naci also tells Gilt StyleFile, that "the A-line skirt is the Hanky Panky of silhouettes in that it flatters everyone! Also try full pleats and gathers to add volume." Naci even suggests following some famous advice, joking "The bigger the necklace, the smaller the hips. (I can still hear Fran Drescher saying the same thing on The Nanny about how Big Hair = Small Hips). Find a chunky necklace to draw eyes up and away from the bottom half." And don't forget about the accessories — a nude shoe lengthens the leg, therefore narrowing the bottom.
If you find that your waist and hips are similar in circumference, take Brown's tips on how to fake a waist. "The easiest way to create a waist is to define it. Place a belt or look for dresses that hit right below your rib cage at your smallest point," she says. "Create width or interest at the neckline or shoulders and the hem of a skirt or dress to show it off even more." Items she suggests you shop for: Thick and/or thin belts to go over anything, wrap dresses, peplum tops or dresses, and illusion dresses (dresses with contrasting side panels).
Need to add curves just about everywhere? Brown says, "The best short-cut to create curves is to add ruffles, pleating, or volume to your neckline and lower half. Strategic color-blocking and peplum tops or dresses are another great way to create an hourglass." Naci echoes the message, explaining "Everything in between should focus on the goal of separating the top from the bottom." Your shopping list should include tiered dresses or tops, ruched dresses or tops, skirts or dresses with flounce or volume, structured jackets or blazers with a defined waistline, and of course, a padded bra.
Broad shoulders can make balancing your silhouette tricky. Brown explains, "To narrow broad shoulders, look for thick straps, draped and open necklines and detailing that balances the width of your hips. A-line dresses and skirts are ideal." Naci also loves neck detail with softness, citing "the cowl neck. The sexy, drapey curves created by the extra fabric brings the attention to the center of your neck and collarbone." When picking our your cowl neck top or dress, she suggests "a soft, lightweight fabric instead of a heavy, sturdy one for tops will camouflage the broadness of the shoulder." Other winners for this silhouette are full skirts for balance and unstructured tops or cardigans.

Master drummer hailed for work on Jukeboxx rhythm
Kirk Bennett - Contributed
Superstar master drummer Kirk Bennett is getting major props in the reggae-dancehall industry for his brilliant work on a new Jukeboxx rhythm for fellow producer Shane Brown, which boasts heavyweight names such as Shabba Ranks, Konshens and Tarrus Riley.
He had just returned to the island from a show in Barbados with Beres Hammond when he got a frantic call from Shane Brown and they met up and made magic.
Recently, Kirk Bennett was named in the prestigious largeup.com
"I am humbled to be included in such elite company, but I think that I am still climbing up the ladder, I have a long way to go, but it is great to be recognised," he said.
Bennett, a top-flight beatmaker known for the worldwide hit Tek Weh Yuself, has continued to steadily work on productions for his own Kirkledove label.
"I just did something with Queen Ifrica, a song called Natural Green Herbs, as well as with Tony Rebel, a song called Ninety Bars. Also working with RDX on some projects," he said.
Bennett tours heavily with Beres Hammond, as well as with international superstar Jah Cure.

It's hard to believe yet another season of the NBA has started, and once again, there are many stories that have come right out of the gate. This season is shaping up to be a season to remember. Tuesday night opened the season for eight teams, including the Boston Celtics and the 2009 NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers. Both teams picked up where they left off last year by winning their opening games. While it was expected for the Lakers to pull of a victory against the Clippers, the Celtics opened up their season with a must-see game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. While this is a busy time of year in the world of sports, it's difficult to overlook everything that has happened in the off-season with player trades and contract extensions. Here's a glimpse at the biggest transactions so far.
L.A. Clippers: It's hard to overlook that with the Clippers' first pick of the draft, they chose college superstar Blake Griffin. Griffin averaged nearly 23 points along with an impressive 14 rebounds per game during his time with the Oklahoma Sooners. Unfortunately for the Clippers, Griffin is suffering from a stress fracture in his kneecap, which will hold him out of play for around six weeks. Nevertheless, I think he'll be a great addition to the team and put them closer to playoff contention when all is said and done.
L.A. Lakers: The big pickup for the Lakers undoubtedly was Khloe Kardashian … just kidding. Don't even get me started on that nonsense with Lamar and Khloe. Don't you love Hollywood life? The real pickup was the Lakers picking up Ron Artest. Artest may be getting up there in age, but he still has some life left in him, and he adds another element to the already powerful offense and defense of the Lakers. This addition will strengthen the bench and make the team even more difficult to tame as the season goes on.
Boston Celtics: Obviously there have been some big changes over the past few years with the Celtics. It all started with the "Big Three," and now that teams see Boston can actually win games, nearly every player would be willing to drop where they are and come play for the guys in green. Biggest pickup for the Celtics? Rasheed Wallace. Now I have to admit, I think Wallace is a punk, but let's look at this from all angles. Wallace is 35 years old now, obviously past his prime, and looking for a shot at another ring.
I liken him to Randy Moss. When Moss came to New England, people tried to argue that it was a horrible pickup and he would only cause calamity in the locker room. Joke's on you! Wallace is going to embrace his role as a bench player and offer a solid player who can come in and give Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Garnett a breather while not worrying about sacrificing experience on the floor. Yes, I am not a fan of Wallace, but like Moss, I think he will fit in well at the Garden and calm his temper down to help the C's to another long playoff run. This brings me to the last part of my rant, my finals picks.
OK, I'm not going to go out on any huge limbs here and say anything that daring. I'm calling a rematch of an NBA finals two years ago. Yes, I am calling for yet another Lakers-Celtics showdown next spring/summer. Cleveland will be in the mix, but the addition of Shaq won't do too much for the team. He's an old man now and doesn't give LeBron James much of an option, in all honesty. He's not as fast as he once was, and I think Cleveland will see in due time that the pickup of Shaq won't benefit them much.
The only major threat I see in the Western Conference is the San Antonio Spurs, provided they stay healthy. They are also an older team, and after a whole season of play, I don't think they'll be able to keep up with the Lakers and their deep bench. I do think the Oklahoma City Thunder will not be as bad as last year with Kevin Durant having more experience under his belt, and the Clippers, once Griffin is healthy, will prove to be a threat in the Western Conference, but I would give it a year before they go for a run in the playoffs. So there it is, Lakers and Celtics with Boston winning in five games. Here's to a great 2009-2010 season, and go C's.

The final Murray-Darling Basin Plan was signed into law by the Federal Water Minister, Tony Burke on 22 November 2012 and tabled in the Parliament on 26 November 2012.
On 27 February 2014, the New South Wales and Queensland Governments were the last to sign the Intergovernmental Agreement on Implementing Water Reform in the Murray-Darling Basin and an amended National Partnership Agreement. The New South Wales Government had been holding off signing the IGA until it was satisfied a number of conditions relating to the implementation of the Basin Plan were going to be met. These included a cap on the volume of water recovered through buyback, giving priority to infrastructure and environmental works and measures to meet the remaining recovery volumes and increasing the sustainable diversion limits on two brackish groundwater aquifers. The basin agreement includes an additional $80 million funding over the next eight years which will go towards developing further infrastructure and water management projects, water resource plans and other activities.
The focus has shifted to the implementation phase of the Basin Plan and ensuring water is recovered for the environment through methods that cause the least harm to local businesses and the community. The Basin Plan will be implemented over the next six years to allow time for basin states, communities and the Government to work together to manage the changes required for a healthy working basin.

McMurry freshman swimmer inspires teammates
Swimmer on McMurry team visually impaired
Christian Chavez starts each day by writing down eight goals. The freshman on the McMurry University swim team makes academic, athletic and social goals.
"Every morning I wake up and see what I want to accomplish today," Chavez said. "If it's to meet a new person, or get an 'A' on a test or a quiz, or try something new, like a different food or something like that, study for two hours, improve technique in the pool."
Pure determination and a competitive nature drive Chavez to reach his daily goals and work toward his long-term goal of getting a college degree.
McMurry swimming and diving coach Bev Ball believes Chavez's tenacity is contagious.
"We discovered Christian through a recruiting form," Ball said. "He was from San Antonio, I called his coach and then got in touch with Christian to come for a visit.
"At that time, I did not know he was blind."
Ball said at first she was scared at the thought of having a visually impaired swimmer on the team. But after talking with Chavez she could see his passion for the sport.
"I discovered that he would be one of the greatest motivators that we have ever had," Ball said, explaining he inspires the entire team to work harder.
On Oct. 8, the McMurry pool was aflutter with strokes, kicks and bubbles exploding to the surface at the team's daily workout.
After completing each set of the warm-up routine, Chavez asked a teammate to read from the white board and tell him what comes next.
Apart from not seeing the board, Chavez is independent in the pool.
"He counts his strokes, no matter if it's a breaststroke or a backstroke or a butterfly," Ball said. "He counts his strokes to know where he is in the pool, to know when to turn or to know when he's going to be at the end of the pool."
To watch Chavez cross campus and navigate through the library to a study spot, nobody would guess he is visually impaired.
Chavez does not use a walking stick or a guide of any kind. He memorizes his routes, counting the steps it takes to get from his dorm room to the library or the cafeteria.
He listens carefully for cars and the occasional greeting from a classmate or professor walking past.
"I was born without my left eye, so I'm completely blind in that one," Chavez said. "I have low vision in my right eye, which is about 20/150. Perfect vision is 20/20, so you guys can do the math."
On top of his extremely low vision in his right eye, which he calls his "good eye," Chavez has a cataract. His doctors are too nervous to remove it now, the surgery is too risky.
Chavez is deciding between being a physical therapist or strength and conditioning specialist after completing his higher education.
"I just keep a smile on my face and hopefully when it's all said and done, when I hang up the cap and goggles, I look back and I have no regrets and I'm satisfied," Chavez said.

Stephanie Daley revolves around the actions of its titular character, a quiet, well-spoken sixteen-year-old girl played by Amber Tamblyn, who gets herself pregnant on the first try, carries the child to term and then delivers it in an isolated bathroom during a ski trip and suffocates it with toilet paper. Collapsing from blood loss in the snow minutes afterwards, her situation is immediately discovered and becomes a sensation for the media, which tags her with one of those disposable, insensitive monikers designed to grab a fickle audience and hold them for a few minutes: 'the ski mom.' In a neat dramatic contrivance, Daley, as preparation for her criminal trial, is ordered to be evaluated by 40-something forensic psychologist Lydie Crane (Tilda Swinton) who is heavily pregnant after a long and draining struggle to be so -- a struggle that included a prior pregnancy resulting in stillbirth. We eventually learn that, against the wishes of her now distant husband, Lydie chose to have that stillborn disposed of like medical waste rather than be given a name or a funeral service.
Tamblyn's role in Stephanie Daley's double act is largely a thankless one, since her task is to be mostly inscrutable during her interview sessions with Swinton's character, giving the audience no 'in' as to why an otherwise mannered, seemingly thoughtful girl would take such a drastic step to rid herself of a baby instead of seeking out an abortion or carrying and then giving it up for adoption. When Stephanie does speak, she often talks about being judged by God or spouts one-liners so loaded as to make the audience feel that they may be watching a character trying to make a play for an insanity defense -- at one point, she casually references a 'jinx' that hovers over her existence. Are we supposed to view Stephanie as remarkably contemplative for her age or just as a teenager who has seen enough Law & Order to know that she better come up a damn good reason for why she did what she did? That there's no clear answer is dramatically intriguing up to a point, but it's also frustrating.
Timothy Hutton plays the long-suffering husband of Lydie, and perhaps the only character in the film who could, at a stretch, be classified as what you might call pro-life. His emotional state is one of dormant grief for the stillborn, which he sought to name and eulogize and still views as nothing less than a deceased child. Lydie, despite understandably being worried about conceiving at her age, is seemingly ready to move forward and forget the past. The distance between her perception and his is a bridge too far for their marriage, which is clearly on a downward trajectory -- they are already engaged in head games about potential adultery. The film never bothers to pinpoint exactly what Lydie wants out of her sessions with Stephanie; there's no sense of any personal goal she needs to satisfy other than to do her job with routine professionalism. The audience is left free to examine these two characters, who represent different points on a somewhat similar spectrum, and draw its own conclusions about the moral acuity of each.
One of the saddest scenes in the film is the one of Stephanie losing her virginity to a slightly older boy in an upstairs bedroom during a typical high-school party. Director Hilary Brougher uses a jarring shot sequence during the scene, cutting immediately from the seductive whisperings of the boy, as they both sit upright on the bed, to the forceful gruntings of hasty intercourse in the pitch dark. The scene is edited so as to leave one with the perception that Brougher views sex -- at least sex as it happens to Stephanie Daley -- as little more than violence, politely introduced. Eventually responding to a loud, angry pounding on the bedroom door, presumably by one of his drunken friends, the boy hops off of Stephanie and announces, as if he expects thanks from her, "I didn't come." The camera then lingers on her traumatized face, which we can only assume is a way of reminding us that this is a child who is completely not up to the mental or emotional challenges of her impending adulthood.
Brougher is terribly restrained in her visual presentation, relying on a subtle blend of HD and 35mm and shooting the quiet snowscape of upstate New York as a kind of depression haven where sad, emotionally constipated people pass each other like ships in the night. Scenes between Tamblyn and Swinton are introduced with master shots of them sitting at comfortable distances apart from each other, each smartly dressed and well-postured. If you didn't know any better, you'd think the film was Canadian, with the internalized ideas it brings to the table about manners and interpersonal relations. The emotional release is all saved up for one scene, the one we assumed the film was going to politely avoid, in which we actually see Stephanie biting back agony in a cold, impersonal bathroom stall as she gives birth to a child that she has already planned to murder. Tamblyn is riveting during this pivotal scene, and whatever judgments you will make about her character and the choice she makes at least can't be made until you've seen it.

Taking a taxi is a very quick and convenient way to get to your destination, be it a hotel, a scenic spot, an airport, or a railway station.

Tourists can also hire a taxi for a half day or a whole day, but please make sure to first agree on a price with the driver.
Taxis vary from city to city, but in most cases they are clean and air-conditioned, and have seatbelts hiding in the back. Common cars used include Hyundai, Volkswagen, Sonata, Elantra, Citroen, Passat, Santana, Jetta, and others. The taxis are usually painted in red, yellow and green, or yellow and black.
The following tips are for your reference.

Runaway emu who fled bullies is recaptured
Posted: December 17, 2012|
A giant emu rampaged through a village after fleeing a farm – because he was being bullied by other birds.
The flightless fugitive was first spotted by members of a local sewing circle running around Combe Florey near Taunton in Somerset.
Stunned residents watched as the emu ran amok, racing across gardens and even running over a parked car in the village, which was once home to author Evelyn Waugh.
Police eventually ushered the emu into a garden where he was contained while they rang his owner, a local farmer.
Officers then had to stand guard all night so it didn't escape before the owner arrived from his farm and took the emu home.
He explained to bemused locals the bird had done a runner because he was being picked on by some of his other emus.
Resident Jill Marshall, 51, said: "The emu came from the next village over – a distance of several miles. When the farmer came to collect him, he said that the other emus had been bullying him and that's why he ran away.
"The farmer was going to put him in another pen when they got back to the farm, so I hope he's happy now."
Emus can delivering a nasty kick similar to a horse and are classified as a dangerous animal under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976.

Oil falls below $84, extending 5 days of losses
SINGAPORE - SINGAPORE (AP) - Oil prices fell for a fifth day to below $84 a barrel Tuesday in Asia as traders mulled whether a slowly recovering U.S. economy justified the recent two-month, 25 percent crude rally.
Benchmark crude for May delivery was down 71 cents to $83.63 a barrel at late afternoon Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract lost 58 cents to settle at $84.34 on Monday.
Crude jumped to above $87 a barrel last week from $69 in early February on investor expectations tepid U.S. crude demand will eventually catch up with a recovering economy. U.S. crude inventories have remained high, but some analysts were cheered by signs global economic growth is strengthening.
"Recent economic news has been reassuring, reinforcing the notion of a broadening recovery which we expect will continue to support energy and industrial metals prices going forward," Goldman Sachs said in a report.
Goldman said it expects crude to rise to $94.50 a barrel in three months and $99 in 12 months.
In other Nymex trading in May contracts, heating oil fell 1.08 cents to $2.208 a gallon, and gasoline slid 0.82 cent to $2.288 a gallon. Natural gas dropped 1.9 cents to $3.989 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent crude was down 48 cents at $84.29 on the ICE futures exchange.
