Lawyers for Onica Mothoa and Mpho Pule are demanding they be acknowledged as Mandela's children - and may apply for DNA tests to prove it
A video posted online shows a rambling Thamsanqa Jantjie speaking about the controversial hand gestures at Mandela's memorial
His wife Graca Machel, who he married on his 80th birthday, is thought to have been by his side when he died
The world had dreaded this moment for decades, and his country was brought to a standstill by the news that "Madiba" had finally lost his battle against recurring lung infection
Daughter Makaziwe Mandela said the 95-year-old anti-apartheid hero is "still with us, strong, courageous"
ex-wife Winnie said he was still receiving 24 hour round the clock
treatment from a team of 22 doctors at his South African home
Workmen transformed 95-year-old Mandela's family house in a Johannesburg suburb to ensure he is as comfortable as possible
The South African government said reports the 95-year-old had been discharged from hospital following treatment for a serious lung condition were "incorrect"
The ex South African President has been receiving treatment for a serious lung condition for the past two months
Mandela 'well enough to watch TV' following a marked turnaround in his health after he was said to be on the brink of death
Several of Mandela's children and grandchildren will visit him in hospital and plan to sing him "Happy Birthday"
The world's most famous political prisoner still lies critically ill in hospital in Pretoria and Winnie Mandela is both saddened and seething
Although the former South African president's family admit he is in a critical state, they claim his nearness to death has been exaggerated
The medical advice is clearly at odds with some relatives' statements. It was claimed Mandela, 94, opened his eyes and told ex-wife Winnie to "sit down"
Court documents show that the former president's family were advised to turn off his life support last week, "rather than prolong his suffering"
Mandla Mandela is suspected of illegally exhuming the bodies of three of the former South African president's children from a family grave yard two years ago
As the world prepared for the anti-apartheid hero to pass away, he refused to give up without an extraordinary fight
Reports said Mandela is on a life support machine and has not been responsive for several days, unable to breathe unaided
The former South Africa President was still critically ill in hospital now suffering from lung, heart and kidney problems
Mandela, 94, remains critically ill as the former South African president's family said they are praying for a 'smooth transition'
South African President Jacob Zuma visited the former president in hospital on Sunday evening
The former South African president was transferred to another ambulance after the vehicle had engine trouble
Mr Mandela was taken to a Pretoria hospital on June 8 to be treated for a recurring lung infection.
Mandela spent a fifth straight day in hospital where he was visited by one of his daughters and three grandchildren.
He is said to be now breathing on his own after being admitted to the private specialist heart clinic three days ago
President Jacob Zuma repeated his call for the country to pray for the ailing 94-year-old
British National Party leader is branded a "small-minded, odious, irrelevant little man" as people took to Twitter to criticise his "nasty, vicious attack"
"We wish Madiba a speedy recovery, but his family must release him so God may have his way"
The 94-year-old was treated in a Pretoria hospital for pneumonia earlier this year
posed for the cameras with South African President Jacob Zuma, who described him as being "in good shape and in good spirits"

Nine years ago, Joshua Robinson was approached by his then-advisor with news of a discovery that would end up transforming his career, and much of materials science. "I saw this crazy talk about 2-D graphite," he recalls his adviser saying.
The adviser was referring of course to graphene, the first material to exist as truly two-dimensional: only a single atom thick. Back in 2006, the physics community was just beginning to wrap its mind around how a 2-D material could even exist.
Fast forward to 2015. The realization that materials can be thinned down to the absolute limit of a single atom is spreading, both throughout the world and across the periodic table. Researchers are learning that 2-D isn't just for the carbon atoms of graphene. Different elemental combinations can lead to fascinating new science and applications.
Robinson is now associate director for Pennsylvania State University's Center for Two-Dimensional and Layered Materials, a center with 20 faculty and over 50 students dedicated to uncovering the fundamental properties of this new zoo of 2-D materials. It is one of many such centers around the world. And as scientists continue to create new 2-D materials there's a palpable frenzy to characterize their surprising electronic, optical, and mechanical properties.
The excitement stems from the fact that materials shaved down to only a few atoms act very differently from their so-called "bulk" or 3-D version. Quantum effects begin to take hold as the electrons in the material are squeezed into that impossibly thin layer.
And, being flexible, 2-D materials could bring those unique electrical properties to all sorts of new applications – from bendable touch screens to wearable sensors.
Vancouver-based architect Michael Green was unequivocal at a conference at which I heard him speak a while ago: "We grow trees in British Columbia that are 35 stories tall, so why do our building codes restrict timber buildings to only five stories?"
True, regulations in that part of Canada have changed relatively recently to permit an additional story, but the point still stands. This can hardly be said to keep pace with the new manufacturing technologies and developments in engineered wood products that are causing architects and engineers to think very differently about the opportunities wood offers in the structure and construction of tall buildings.
Green himself produced a book in 2012 called Tall Wood, which explored in detail the design of 20-story commercial buildings using engineered timber products throughout. Since then he has completed the Wood Innovation and Design Center at the University of North British Columbia which, at 29.25 meters (effectively eight stories), is currently lauded as the tallest modern timber building in North America.
The Sochi Olympics are churning out dramatic victories – but athletes aren't the only ones who fine-tuned their craft to get here. As U.S. bobsledders, skaters and lugers compete during these Games, they're doing so with cutting-edge technology that's gone through an equally exhaustive testing process.
These technological upgrades, which look to bolster their respective sports with faster times and improved features, will help athletes stand their best chance yet at scoring the gold this year. Here we take a look at three notable improvements.
With speed skating, the difference between scoring a gold medal and walking home empty-handed is determined by a fraction of a second. To help put U.S. Olympic speed skaters on the winning side of that difference, sporting goods manufacturer
Under Armour and defense contractor Lockheed Martin created the Mach 39 speed skating suit to shave off those precious nanoseconds.
Whereas most suits try to be as slick and aerodynamic as possible, Under Armour went the opposite direction by installing "flow-molding" on the backside of the Mach 39 suits. These strategically placed dimples work like the bumps on a golf ball, cutting back drag that accumulates behind high-velocity objects. "We're trying to disrupt that air flow before it bulks up behind a skater," Chief of Innovation Kevin Haley said.
Along with reduced air drag, the suits also cut down on friction generated between the athlete's thighs as they cross over one another for tight track turns. Dubbed "Armour Glide," these textiles are strategically located on the athlete's inner thighs, where t
he most friction—and energy waste—occurs. With the textiles, athletes see a 65% drop in the coefficient of friction between the legs, letting them redirect their strength onto the ice and "put more power into the skates," Haley said.

In 1956, M. King Hubbert laid out a prediction for how oil production in a nation increases, peaks, and then quickly falls down. Since then many analysts have extended this logic and said that global oil production will soon max out—a point called "peak oil"—which could throw the world economy into turmoil.
I'm a materials scientist by training, and one aspect of peak oil I've been thinking about recently is peak plastic.
The use of oil for fuel is dominant, and there's a reason for that. Oil is remarkable—not only does it have an insanely high energy density (energy stored per unit mass), but it also allows for a high energy flux. In about 90 seconds, I can fill the tank of my car—and that's enough energy to move it at highway speeds for five hours—but my phone, which uses a tiny fraction of the energy, needs to be charged overnight. So we'll need to replace what oil can do alone in two different ways: new sources of renewable energy, and also better batteries to store it in. And there's no Moore's law for batteries. Getting something that's even close to the energy density and flux of oil will require new materials chemistry, and researchers are working hard to create better batteries. Still, this combination of energy density and flux is valuable enough that we'll likely still extract every drop of oil that we can, to use as fuel.
But if we're running out of oil, that also means that we're running out of plastic. Compared to fuel and agriculture, plastic is small potatoes. Even though plastics are made on a massive industrial scale, they still only account for about 2% world's oil consumption. So recycling plastic saves plastic and reduces its impact on the environment, but it certainly isn't going to save us from the end of oil. Peak oil means peak plastic. And that means that much of the physical world around us will have to change.

Passing up the opportunity to run far more shocking images of a bear caught in the act of defecating in the woods or of the Pope celebrating a Catholic Mass, the UK's News of the World has published a series of blurry stills culled from a post-rehab video allegedly depicting Lindsay Lohan and a pal blowing a rail or 20 in a Teddy's ladies room stall, footage that a well-intentioned friend is sharing with the paper out of concern that the public has heretofore been woefully uninformed about the starlet's love of a little harmless partying. Because the internet is a wondrous and magical place, the pictures have already been assembled into a kicky montage and set to an upbeat soundtrack proliferating on the YouTubes, effectively communicating the spirit of carefree Hollywood fun in which they were taken.

Prey Veng: Hard work always enables us to achieve our goals. It also applies to study and job. It depends on how hard we study and how much we volunteer to get experience in order to build our capacity for the good future.
Entering data into a computer with a smiling face, Ms. Kruy Srey Mom, 20 years old and the oldest child among three siblings whose homeland is in Prey Svay village, Chrey Khmom commune, Sithor Kandal district, Prey Veng province, is a former YCC youth. Currently, she is a sophomore at Krong Angkor Institute and an administration assistant at Pi Sno Ka International Corporation in Prey Veng province.
She talked about her life story that because her family condition was poor, she couldn't continue her study in Phnom Penh city like her friends did when finishing grade 12 in 2012. Therefore, she came to study in Prey Veng province. She studied hard, and she became YCC youth after joining a four-week course of "Advanced Democracy Seminar" organized by YCC.
Srey Mom continued that, "The reason I joint YCC is because I wanted to get good work experience that could build my capacity, increase my knowledge, and build good relation with the community as well as my confident."
She added that through the volunteer job, she had involved in many activities like organizing public forum about malaria and woman rights, doing fundraising, attending commune-Songkat meetings, doing cleaning up activity, and encouraging citizens to register their name in the voting list and check it. Especially, after volunteering for about one year and a half, Srey Mom has been more confident than before. She communicates well, helps the community, and gains experience.
Srey Mom also mentioned that the experience from YCC and my hard work in studying enables her to get the current job as the administration assistant. Moreover, this job provides incomes that she can use to support her study and help her family.

Extraordinary measure: Changi General Hospital patients being housed in a large air-conditioned tent. — The Straits Times / Asia News Network
A severe bed crunch at Singapore's public hospitals has forced several of them into taking some extraordinary measures.
Changi General Hospital (CGH), which has 800 beds, started housing patients waiting for beds in a large air-conditioned tent this week.
The 1,200-bed Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), meanwhile, has been forced to set up 49 beds along the corridors of its wards to cope with the demand.
Together with Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), they have also resorted to sending patients to Alexandra Hospital, one of the few public hospitals here with spare beds.
Having taken in more than 900 patients from other hospitals between last September and December, it continues to admit around 11 such patients each day.
Dr Lee Chien Earn, CGH's chief executive officer, said: "Our bed occupancy rate has crossed 100% for certain periods over the past month and some patients have waited more than 24 hours for an inpatient bed."
This is despite CGH already renting a ward from Parkway East Hospital and the next-door St Andrew's Community Hospital.
Liak Teng Lit, head of Alexandra Health which runs KTPH, said: "Every day, we have to make decisions regarding our 500 patients. Those who are not so sick are discharged to make way for the 50 to 60 patients waiting for a bed."
He described the current bed crunch as "abnormal", since public hospitals usually experience a dip in patients during this period. But numbers went up instead.
Dr Chia Shi-Lu, a member of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Health, said the crunch might be due to the holiday season rather than a spike in illnesses.
Liak said this was possible. He explained how 20 KTPH patients at any one time refuse to be discharged.
Some say their families are on holiday, and there is no one at home.
Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said on Tuesday night that he was aware of the problem – hence, the push to add 1,900 more acute hospital beds and 2,600 community hospital beds by 2020.
He added: "The hospitals have also implemented various measures to alleviate the bed crunch.
"CGH has set up a nine-bed Short Stay Unit and expanded its observation ward from 12 to 20 beds at the Emergency Department and also set up an Admission Transit Area for patients who are waiting for a bed in the ward." — The Straits Times / Asia News Network

The Dinner: Chicken teriyaki at Yummy Teriyaki (622 First Ave. N.).
Patti Perret/CBS Films Statham blows stuff up real good.
The Movie: The Mechanic at Pacific Place (600 Pine St.).
The Screenplate: When, in his remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson movie, assassin Jason Statham goes to meet with his boss (Donald Sutherland), he prefers they sit at ordinary, crowded, roadside eateries where no one could possibly remember them from the throng of customers. Hitman Arthur Bishop's job is to go unnoticed. His credo as killer is to make the hit look like an accident: a drowning or drug overdose or gas-main explosion, but never anything so obvious as an actual shooting. Driving an old pickup truck around New Orleans, keeping a low-rent apartment there and sleeping only with hookers, he's the soul of discretion during his murderous work week. Yummy Teriyaki is just the kind of joint he'd frequent while on the job, on the D.L. . . .The parking lot is key. Escape. A door through the kitchen to where your getaway vehicle is idling. Yummy Teriyaki is set on a corner, meaning a 180-degree view of all possible assailants. Easy in, easy out. There's even WiFi for take-out customers, which would certainly benefit Bishop, who spends half The Mechanic doing Google searches and hacking various high-tech security systems. He's as much IT manager as killer, armed equally by Apple and Glock.
Yummy offers crisp and efficient value for a rootless hitman such as Bishop (you can even order online). The staff is friendly, but the place isn't exactly warm--just another fast-food joint in a strip mall where people do their shopping without much eye contact, just the way Bishop prefers. Yet the chicken teriyaki ($6.99) is clean and quite edible, served with a lightly dressed salad; and for those who choose to linger in the restaurant, there's beer and a flat-screen TV usually tuned to sports. It's well-suited to solitary dining while one checks his e-mail ("Hmmm, who do I kill this week?") or meets the boss or new protégé (Ben Foster, in this case, as the hothead Steve, who hopes to avenge the death of his father--the Sutherland character). Eating and meeting are but a prelude to killing for Bishop.
On weekends, however, it's a different story. The epicure in Bishop comes out, and Statham's polished action-movie image begins to grate against the rickety old plot. In the Charles Bronson original, Bishop at work and at play weren't so different. Here, Statham retreats from work to his vintage-chic weekend home on the bayou, accessible only by boat, where he listens to his tube amp hi-fi and restores an old V-12 Jaguar E-Type. He lounges in an Eames chair, surrounded by other well-worn midcentury modern furniture. The metrosexual comes out: This Bishop is a closeted aesthete, a man with the taste for life's finer pleasures (though not the hookers, whom he leaves behind in filthy NOLA). Soon, Foster's young male apprentice moves in with Bishop, begins learning from him, doubling him, dressing like him, shooting the same fire-spitting weapons in tandem with him at the target range. Theirs is a classic master/pupil relationship that would find approval with Plato and the ancient Greeks: rigorous, refined, and not a woman in sight. They would never corrupt their tutorial bond with anything so impure as food, let alone teriyaki.
Back in Seattle, granted, Yummy isn't the kind of place you'd take a date. ("Honey, I know this romantic little spot between the FedEx/Kinko's and Verizon shop . . . ") It's functional, not posh. And posh is what Statham is forever fighting against in his career, since he emerged in the late '90s in Guy Ritchie's lad films like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Since then, in the Transporter series and Euro thrillers like The Bank Job, he's become the Old World's best answer to our aging stable of American action stars. He's no accented joke, like Van Damme; and his bald glower and six-pack abs are still more impressive than any young Yankee pretenders.
Statham is, however, no Bronson (a tough, leathery, fearsome age 51 in the first Mechanic, more than a decade older than Statham). And Bronson, though he betrays a few doubts and kinks in that film, was no aesthete. He wasn't posh; he had no need for fancy and refined. He was a graduate of The Dirty Dozen, a veteran of World War II. He would happily eat at Yummy Teriyaki, every night of the week. If they asked him to hunt down and kill the chickens, he'd do that, too. And with his hands--not Statham's computers and cell phones and mini-video cameras. Even though Bronson became a Hollywood star, and something of an icon in Europe, he never shook his blue-collar roots. In any movie, he never looks out of place in a cheap diner or coffee shop or fast-food joint like Yummy. But Statham, as the sleek, serene action star of today, trails his Euro success behind him like expensive cologne (one that you can only buy at an unmarked shop in SoHo). His teriyaki days are behind him; he's even making movies with Robert De Niro (The Killer Elite, due sometime this year). Actual mechanics might eat at Yummy Teriyaki, but not The Mechanic.

Type expert
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Type specialist)
A type expert (Japanese: タイプエキスパート type expert) is a Pokémon Trainer who specializes in just one type. These Trainers are most commonly Gym Leaders or members of the Elite Four. There are also some Trainer classes that specialize in one type, such as the Bug Catchers who specialize solely in training and battling with Bug-type Pokémon.
Some notable type experts include Brock, the Pewter City Gym Leader who specializes in only Rock-type Pokémon, and Misty, the Cerulean City Gym Leader who specializes in only Water-type Pokémon.
The Type Expert Tournament at the Pokémon World Tournament in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 features type experts from all of the regions known at the time.

Hey ladies, I've had one of those days and started thinking about when we try again, about requesting to be put on home health (Alere?) as soon as the oral ODT Zofran stops working. The nurse I talked to before said she could do rehydrating IV's when they check my subQ Zofran pump, which sure beats going to the stupid ER every other day like I did with my daughter. Anyway, I'm a little nervous about having it but know it's a must have to survive next time. Can anyone tell me what it's like to have a subQ pump? Thanks ladies, I'm glad I have this group. :-)
Zofran subQ pump question?

That does help Inshortcake, thank you. I was told the pump would go on my thigh, so I'm squeamish about the stomach. I suppose it's just something you get used to though.I used to be a baby about getting arm pokes. Now I offer them up without flinching and hope they have good aim. Does it make you feel functional? Can you do basic things again? I'm hoping it'll last me long enough till I can get the steroid meds since I've heard such good things about them. I can only hope at this point.

Dear Human,
I have worked with the finest furry tailors in the world, and am here to share my bounty of knowledge. Here's how to measure your pet...
Measure from the base of the tail (where it connects to the hindquarters) up to where the collar typically sits at the base of the neck, then follow up with a generous back scratch.
This is measured by giving your pet a
hug, during which you measure the entire circumference (all the way around) at the widest point of your pet's chest. This is typically right behind the front legs.
First, plenty of kisses. Then, measure the neck's circumference
(the distance around it) at the point where the collar sits.

works as expected
This review is from: SUPERMICRO MCP-220-00043-0N Hard Drive Tray
Pros: Fit correctly the first time
Cons: There are no external holes that lines up with the screw holes of the internal mounting bracket, so the screwdriver has to be held at an angle with some very small screws. A magnetic screwdriver helps.
Other Thoughts: It took a second to realize that the "floor" of the tray was really a "ceiling". The drive connector won't lineup otherwise.

That's no Mojito!
The Watering Hole: The Benbow Room, located at 4210 SW Admiral Way in West Seattle, is the bar inside the Heartland Café.
That's no Mojito!
The Atmosphere:
The Atmosphere:It's fucking rad because the inside of the bar is shaped like the hold of a pirate ship. Except this irks me because the pirate ship bar was originally called the Admiral Benbow, but in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, "Admiral Benbow" was the name of a hotel, not a boat. So shouldn't they have made this place look like the inside of a hotel? It's dim and seafaring crap is all over the place. Even though I notoriously disagree with today's rampant pirate mania, I fucking LOVE the Benbow Room. It's the most civilized instant dive bar in Seattle. I keep wanting to hear Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary or the Mauret Rondo or any other Baroque trumpet fanfares that pierce your eardrums with gleaming clarity like lances made of sunlight, but instead they're playing the next best thing: Vintage Iron Maiden and Metallica MP3's rumble in the background. The plasma screen is muted. Inside Edition is REALLY FUCKING WEIRD with the sound off. They keep showing the same photo of a tiger. Then the tiger disappears, replaced by a still of Bret Michaels with the caption "I'm lucky to be alive." Bret Michaels' survival was luck, all right: bad luck.
The Barkeep: Dawn, who didn't want to reveal her last name but DID want everyone to know that she'll be performing under her stage name, Loretta Sin, with her burlesque troop the Boudoir Bellas at the Redline on June 26th. Burlesque is hot even when your mom does it.
The Drink:
The Drink:a Maker's Mark Manhattan, up. (Is this now every dive bartender's favorite drink?) Dawn mixed the drink with just a little sweet vermouth and hardly any bitters. Perfect. But what is it about making Manhattans that appeals to her? "I love that first sip with the ice crystals in it." Me too, Dawn. But even more than the ice crystals, I love all of the fucking alcohol. I chased my Manhattan with a $3 PBR tall boy. What's Dawn's LEAST favorite drink? She must be after my own heart because she hates Mojitos as much as I do. "A lot of consumers of Mojitos see it on TV and don't know what's in it," Dawn explained, "Then when they drink it they complain. 'There's mint all in my teeth!'" Indeed. Of the very many crimes against humanity perpetrated by Sex in the City, gay-ass drinks like the Mojito or the Cosmopolitan rank a close second to $800 shoes.
The food: The Verdict:
The food:$7.99 gets you three sliders: tiny hamburgers with melted orange cheese served on soft buns with a ramekin of horseradish sauce, or something, on the side. The patties themselves have an almost apocalyptic slag of smoky char on the outside, but are still a little pink inside. Tasty. The chicken fried steak ($12.99) is actually a FUCKING NEW YORK STRIP. It's coated in a crumbly shaggy breading and pan fried, well done of course, and topped with a comforting beige blanket of sausage gravy. A side of buttery mashed potatoes is a bit gummy but generally satisfying. Coleslaw is a great foil to all the fried beefiness: sweet, not too much mayonnaise, with crisp green and red cabbage and julienned carrots, and flecked with plenty of ground black pepper. And a slice of pie a la mode ($6.95) boasts a scoop of vanilla ice cream from Husky Deli and a slice of berry pie with an awesome crust but too much corn starch or arrow root or whatever constitutes the filling.
The Verdict:The Benbow Room obviously isn't a Michelin 3- Star establishment, but I love this goddamned place. The beer is cheap, cocktails are stiff, and the background music is killer. The food might be heavy enough to form its own miniature black hole, right there on your plate, if your chicken fried steak for some reason collapsed upon itself. But fuck it--the Benbow Room does what it's supposed to do: take the edge off of the hangover you got the night before while pestering Mario Batali with stupid questions.

When my good friend, local public affairs consultant Karen "B.A." Besserman, announced that she'd taken on a new client in the liquor industry, I scratched
When my good friend, local public affairs consultant Karen "B.A." Besserman, announced that she'd taken on a new client in the liquor industry, I scratched my head for a moment. Then I stopped to consider the fine line between promoting progressive politicians and promoting booze, and it all started to make a ton of sense -- even moreso when I learned that Ocean, the vodka brand Besserman is promoting, is organic. A-ha! Progressive vodka! Now we get it.
Ocean, which is made in Hawaii, has yet to be approved for sale in Washington State liquor stores -- a formality that should pass muster in the near future. It purports to be the only USFDA-certified organic vodka in the country (although others claim to be organic, they lack the government seal of approval). Last night, Besserman staged a blind taste test, similar to the Pepsi Challenge and consisting of a three-person taster panel: me, SW photographer 'Lil Scoop, and my Aunt Gayle, who's been privy to enough liquor tastings to cast doubt on her amateur status.
Before we sipped, Besserman poured four brands -- Ocean, Skyy, Grey Goose, and Smirnoff -- into several small Solo cups. Ocean, I shit you not, was the unanimous runaway winner, a million times more clean and refreshing than its soon-to-be rivals. The worst? Skyy and Grey Goose. Talk about overrated. If you're going to drink bad vodka, save some coin and stick to the well.
At the end of the Vodka Challenge, the panel had but one request of Besserman: Appoint a separate panel to go on a night-long bender with each brand, spread over the course of a couple weeks, and then report back on which caused the least strenuous hangover. Common logic would dictate that Ocean, with its natural ingredients, should prevail on this count; but only time -- and post-imbibery Excedrin tallies -- will tell.

Im new to Bikeforums, but have been using it a lot the last couple weeks. I'm embarking on a European adventure end of the summer. Approximately 2000 miles in 6 weeks. Starting in Amsterdam and ending in Athens, it should be an adventure to remember. The "Touring" forum on here is a great tool with lots of information for the upcoming ride.
Here are the fact:
I just purchased a Surly Long Haul Tracker. I have a couple months to purchase the panniers and everything else I will need along the way. From Amsterdam, I will be headed towards Paris, then South East towards the west end of the French Alps, downwards towards Genoa, Italy and Cinque Terre. I will make my way through the Italian countryside via Florence and Rome to the Adriatic where I wil catch a Ferry to Corfu Greece and continue pedaling my little bicycle to finish line in Athens.
I am open to any and all suggestions, tips, help, etc. I feel like I have a lot planned, but still have NO IDEA how to plan the EXACT route. Im undecided if I want to get a GPS or print out a **** ton of Google Maps. I've found a few good websites like viamichelin.com and mapmyride.com, but still have no route set in stone.
I've created a website/blog to share everything I find along the way. If you're keen, check it out and follow me along my journey.

|Joshua | profile | all galleries >> Leica M System and Items For Sale >> Leica Digital M-series Cameras and M-Lenses
|tree view | thumbnails | slideshow
You either love a RF camera system or you can't stand it. My first camera that I called my own and paid for using my money, was a Canon rangefinder. It was an inexpensive, even at that time, Canon Canonet GIII with a fixed 40mm lens although quite fast f/1.7 lens. Performance-wise that small camera delivered. I took mostly family shots, my son's baby pictures were taken with that camera, and later on I started venturing into landscape photography. So, for sentimental reasons, I bought two Canon GIIIs on eBay after 30+ years.
Now to the Leica M system... Do we dare to say that the M system carries the Leica mystique, more so than the R system does? That is the reason I stick with Canon DSLR system and didn't go for the Leica DMR. The Leica tradition is alive and well in the M system and the M8, the first digital M camera, is showing the lineage. My graduate education in Germany in the 1970's may have played a role in it and I am enjoying the Leica tradition. Now, that Leica introduced the first digital M body, I jumped into the water with both feet. At the introduction, the M8, is not without any problems. I am one of the few who are convinced that Leica would not disappoint their loyal customers (read: aficionados), not only in our interest but also theirs. At the end, Leica will come out with the solution that will not compromise the Leica quality, I firmly believe.
As it turned out, Leica recalled the first batch of M8, which included mine. The repair was done at their facility in Solms, Germany. Four weeks later, I received mine back. After that off to the race to get IR cut filters and the new firmware was also available for download. Finally, the camera system was ready to be used. Was it worth the hassle and wait? It depends whom you are asking that question. Since I am still using the camera system, my answer is obvious, right?
I started buying lenses before the M8 became available and used the lenses with a Leica M6 and Epson R-D1 for a short while. I am glad I did that when the prices were quite a bit more reasonable than now (Summer 2007). There is definitely a surge in the popularity of rangefinder cameras because of the M8.
For pictures taken with the M8 please click here: http://www.pbase.com/ageojo/china_in_the_eye_of_leica_m8 and here: http://www.pbase.com/ageojo/leica_m8&page=all
A brief note about prices of Leica M lenses - The popularity of the digital M cameras, especially the full fram M9 increases the demand of Leica M lenses. The supply of popular lenses is outstripped completely. You have to wait weeks or months for selected lenses. Then, if you are lucky you can buy one. However, not all Leica lenses fit in that category. Typically, fast, aspherical lenses are in high demand. Prices have soared to nose-bleed teritory. Not only they double in value relative to several years ago, triple or even quadruple prices are not uncommon. Quite a bit of Leica M lenses find or have found their way to Leica aficionados in Asia. There are a few non-aspherical lenses that are very popular as well, Leica 90mm Elmarit-M (for its superb optical quality for less than the 90mm Summicron ASPH) and Leica 35mm pre-ASPH Summicron M version IV (for its gorgeous bokeh). People collect those lenses and some buy them for investment or even turn it around fast for profit and that would leave us, actual Leica users, high and dry. Oh, well, "c'est la vie".
My personal sequence of event is as follows:
Fast forward to 2009 - On September 09, 2009 (09-09-09) Leica introduced a full frame rangefinder digital camera to replace the M8. Yup, you guess the name right, M9. I sold my M8 in the summer of 2009 in anticipation of this camera. I am anxiously waiting for my M9 to arrive...
December 2009 - I received my M9 about two weeks before Christmas. This camera is absolutely better in many ways than the M8. Finally, I was able to take off all the UV-IR cut filters from my lenses and used my lenses in their focal length they were designed for.
One of the major events I used my M9 was the Mask Carnival in Venice. Although the M9 was not exclusively used during that event, well, actually for approximately only 30% but here is the gallery from that event: http://www.pbase.com/ageojo/venice_mask_carnival_2010
December 2010 - I sold three absolutely excellent lenses in my Leica-M lineup in the last 3 months, the Noctilux 50mm f/1.0, 35mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH and 75mm f/2.0 Summicron ASPH. The last two lenses became less and less used after I bought the M9 with FF format. The Nocti then? Well, because I do have the new Nocti f/0.95 in mind and the proceeds from these the three lenses are enough to get the the Nocti. Let's wait and see what will transpire in the next few weeks.
February 2011 - After I sold a few Leica M lenses in late 2010, I started buying them again and in most cases I ended up paying more than what sold them for. The moral of the story: you buy Leica M lenses but you don't sell them LOL.
March 2011 - I went back to Venice and captured images during the first 4 days of the Mask Carnival again. In a similar fashion like before I took my M9 and 3 lenses with me in addition to my DSLR system. The images are posted here: http://www.pbase.com/ageojo/mask_carnival_2011

After having an exciting year filled with new experiences and fun, a local neurologist has written a book about the road he's traveled. Doctor Russ Schroder started the past year by passing his Functional Neurology Boards. Around the same time he came across an opportunity in Cleveland to be an extra in the movie 'The Avengers'. Now the doctor has written a book, called "Bucket List: Avengers!" to sum up what he calls, an experiences of a lifetime.
"You get up there, and the excitement is real." explained Schroder. "I didn't know for almost 9-10 months if I'd even make a cut in the movie, if I'd be recognizeable. Then we showed up May 4th, midnight of May 3rd, like everyone else at Cinemark, and it was just fun to see it all come to fruition."
In the book, Schroder jokingly says he may write a next book, but truthfully says he hasn't thought about it yet. On page eighty-seven of the book, there is a small section dedicated to thanking WHIZ-TV
"They were really instrumental in having a big piece of the puzzle and having what happened over the last year." Schroder said.
The book isn't the only exciting part of Schroder's life right now. He and his fiance will be commemorating the opening of their new M.I.N.D. Institute for Neurological Development with a book signing November 1st at 311 Main street from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.. The M.I.N.D. Institute is a childhood behavioral center that utilizes Functional Neurology to help children with conditions like Dyslexia, Autism, Asperger's syndrome, ADHD, and Tourette's.

The program was initially piloted in 2010 as the City of Chicago "Green Office Challenge" and organized by the Chicago Department of Environment and ICLEI USA. Office Depot was the primary underwriter of the challenge in Chicago and directly supported key aspects of the initial program development. As the Presenting Sponsor of the 2011 Green Business Challenge, Office Depot is providing core funding for the national rollout of the program, in addition to "Green Business Challenge Implementation Packs," which will be given to the Cities of Austin, Bellevue, and Chula Vista, as well as the Triangle J Council of Governments.
