Zigmont: I like the no filter photo better than the weird one with the filter. Just because a slow shutter is good doesn't necessarily mean a moribund shutter is better.
You're missing the point. There are things you can do with an ND filter that you cannot do without. Some users want such a filter - this is just one option.
Your opinion of that photo is not relevant to the discussion - and neither is mine (which is that I like the way the water looks in the filtered photo).
Hugo808: I always thought that my trusty polariser is the one filter they'd never be able to emulate but here we are.
You can't stop progress.....
Well, no you didn't. You said, "the only reason to use a circular polarizer is if you use an SLR camera."
If you use a camera and its TTL metering system is not optical, or you are manually focusing, then a linear polarizer will work fine.
If you use any kind of camera with optical TTL metering or autofocus then you must use a circular polarizer rather than a linear polarizer if you want either system to function.
Merely saying that you use circular polarizers with SLR cameras is inaccurate at best and misleading at worst.
Hugo808: I always thought that my trusty polariser is the one filter they'd never be able to emulate but here we are.
You can't stop progress.....
"The only reason to use a circular polarizer is if you use an SLR camera."
Not correct. Circular polarizing filters were developed for use with autofocus systems and in-camera meters. Linear polarizers were used for decades on SLR cameras.
techjedi: Hopefully this will reduce the price of traditional coated lenses.
Techjedi I, you said "lenses" in your original post. I think that is what the respondent replied about.
Peiasdf: Look more like painting to me. The subjects looks like artwork of the time instead of real scenery or person.
In that time exposures were typically made until an image appeared on the plate, so you would expect that look. It took several years past Niepce's first photos until the latent image phenomenon was discovered.
maxnimo: I'd love to see a camera just like this, but with a 2 inch sensor.
A million dollars for a 1,200mm lens? Wow, I thought Canon was expensive but that is ... Wow.
Scotts Photographs: The reason jpeg alternatives have such a rough time, IMHO, is that the majority of casual camera buyers (even those who buy DSLRs) and smartphone owners understand and like jpeg. They're happy with it... it does the job well enough. You can chatter at them all day long about lossless compression and bit depth and they just don't care. They can't tell the difference between a jpeg and another file format, just as most people can't tell the difference between 100/200/300 dpi prints. So, kudos to the programmer for developing something superior, but good luck getting it adopted as a replacement to the very popular, non-threatening, familiar jpeg, which is part of a whole universe of devices and software dedicated to it.
Sorry to pick a nit, but I doubt whether even 1% of casual users know what JPG is, much less understand or like it. They just know that when they hit the button, out pops a picture. They neither know nor care beyond that.
They only use it because it is ubiquitous, not due to preference.
"The iPhone will probably be available separately."
Nicely done!
Sir Nick of High Point: Most all color negative film has a red mask layer, so isn't it already color shifted in a way? If I tried scanning these negatives, how would I know how to properly adjust the color curves for the mask layer?
The orange layer is there to facilitate more accurate color, not to shift away from accuracy.
If I remember correctly, scanner software has algorithms to account for the layer so you end up with a digital scan without the red shift.
This Thursday and Friday October 11-12 ... 2018?
This Thursday is the 9th, not the 11th.
vFunct: The person responsible for the creation owns the copyright. Photography equipment "operators", like this monkey, do not own copyrights.
If that were the case, then the assistants of high-end photographers would own the copyright to the photos, instead of the photographers, who normally act as directors. Most high-end photographers have assistants hold the camera and operate them and take the actual shot, instead of of the photographer themselves.
This is also why the NFL owns the copyright to their work, instead of the cameraman.
The big mistake people make is assuming photography is the art of operating cameras. It actually involves much more than that, including planning, production, styling, lighting, post-processing, etc..
It's very amateurish to consider photography as only taking pictures.
Just read up and vFunct, you're right about employee/employer relationship in regards to copyright. My apologies.
(unknown member): Spy meets and befriends simple person, spy gets said person to push the button for photo of forbidden military base......who gets charged???
Paparazzi outside celebrities place ......gets passing kid to climb tree and push shutter for pic in breach of law....who gets charged??
How is legal liability relevant to this discussion?
JackM: Right, so when I carefully setup every parameter on my camera (an expensive one which I was only able to purchase by selling photos) and then hand it to someone to take a pic of me and my family, I had nothing to do with it?
Well ... you had everything to do with the metering and possibly the focus. You still don't automatically own the copyright just because the camera belongs to you.
(unknown member): Well the Monkey took the camera without permission....charge him!
The photographer owns the camera, the card....the monkey could be regarded as the employee.
In any event the photos exist only because the photographer was responsible for ALL but pushing the button.
The Photographer owns the copyright in my opinion.
samfan: I think the law makes sense. The author is the one who presses the shutter button or otherwise sets up taking of the final image as a clear intention (self-timer, drone etc.). If you lend your camera to someone and they take the pictures, they are the author. This is clear enough.
As for the "If you drop your camera and it takes a picture by itself, nobody is the author", that's a bit tricky but I think it makes sense too. If you don't actually press the shutter button (or equivalent), then why would you want to claim ownership? Also in this case, it's clear the photographer did not set up this scenario.
You don't need to make money of everything and claim copyright on everything. Just suck it up and let the world have some fun with "your" image dang it.
vFunct: The person responsible for the creation owns the copyright. Photography equipment "operators", like this monkey, do not own copyrights.
If that were the case, then the assistants of high-end photographers would own the copyright to the photos, instead of the photographers, who normally act as directors. Most high-end photographers have assistants hold the camera and operate them and take the actual shot, instead of of the photographer themselves.
This is also why the NFL owns the copyright to their work, instead of the cameraman.
The big mistake people make is assuming photography is the art of operating cameras. It actually involves much more than that, including planning, production, styling, lighting, post-processing, etc..
It's very amateurish to consider photography as only taking pictures.
vFunct, you are confusing things. In the absence of a contract the assistant who fired the shutter could absolutely prevail in a copyright suit. The law does not assign copyright by employment status.
To say that one "gives" copyright implicitly by lending gear is also incorrect. Copyright is EXPLICITLY the creator's unless a contract explicitly assigns the creator's rights to a different entity.
The NFL owns the copyright to those photos from whom they have required a copyright waiver. Example: they do not own the copyright to photographs taken by AP (whomever else) photographers - AP does PROVIDED they required their photographers to sign waivers. If the NFL wanted to require the AP to release copyright they could attempt to do so by requiring a similar waiver. However they do not own the copyright by virtue of the fact that the photographer was standing on the field when taking photos.
Osscat: I always thought that photographic copyright was held by the owner of the emulsion used - in film photography - would not the sensor and storage device be the equivalent of film?
Wrong. That is a contractual issue, not related to the film or the sensor. A newspaper will probably force any photographer to sign a waiver of copyright for anything done while employed by and at work for the company. Given that, whether a news shot is taken with the paper's gear or the photographer's, the copyright belongs to the paper.
If you loan your camera to someone and they take a photo, they own the copyright. Not you - unless you force them to sign a similar waiver.
paul simon king: well i that case that kinda rules out self timer pics too then, or pics actualted by passing animals triggering a infra red etc?
Of course it's his flaming pic, it wouldnt have been taken if he hadnt set it all up and posted it
No, not at all. In both scenarios you describe the photographer took an intentional action to create the photographs.
The self-timer merely delayed the shutter firing. In many lower-end cameras even today there is a noticeable lag between depressing the shutter button and the shutter firing. The intent remained the same - to take a photograph.
If an infrared trigger fires the shutter it only did so because the photographer turned it on. Again, intentional action caused the photo to be taken.
In this case, the monkey took the camera away from the photographer and the photographer no longer had any control over the subject, framing or timing of any photographs made. Therefore he cannot claim ownership of any of the photos.
Dan Desjardins: Perhaps its too late, but instead he could copyright it as a work of art rather than as the photographer. I just wonder if it could be argued that he set up the sequence of events for this to occur as an artistic expression and thus would be entitled to copyright?
But did he set up the sequence of events? From the description here it sounds as though the monkey took it from him - not that he handed it to the monkey to see what might happen.
Kipplemaster: Depends on the laws of the relevant jurisdiction, which is a point often ignored! In my view this comes down to title. Who has best title to this photograph? Wikimedia Commons, the camera owner, or the monkey? I would say the monkey has best title, then the camera owner, then Wikimedia Commons. Assuming the monkey isn't putting forward a case, the camera owner should win.
Why? That's the "possession is 99% of the law" defense. Just because the photographer's camera was used to create the photo, why should he be able to claim ownership of photos created while it was not in his possession or under his control?

Apr 20 2010Goodbye, Strangers: The Arm Sleeper Pillow
The Arm Sleeper Pillow is a grossly overpriced ($99) head receptacle that has a groove underneath so you can sleep on your arm without cutting off the circulation and having to get it amputated. Of course, this also means no more strangers when you wake up, so it's kind of a trade-off. Now if they just made something similar that prevented my legs from falling asleep when I'm blogging from the can I'd be money. You know how they say 70% of household accidents happen in the bathroom? WELL HOW'S IT AN ACCIDENT IF YOU MADE IT TO THE BATHROOM?! Shitting in the kitchen, now that's an accident.

This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its fake because the shadows are all wrong. I know from shooping the wooping alot.
It kinda looks like the scene from the movie Never Back Down where Max's friend doesn't like strangers first thing in the morning, and puts his pillow on a table and puts his hand under it.
What about the other arm?
Best idea EVER. I'm making a hole in my girlfriend too...
What I hate is when my arm wakes up while the rest of me is asleep.
Hmm... the last post, and the fact that this guy's arm seems somehow disconnected have got me thinking Evil Dead II.
That said.

OKC mayor says he never said he wouldn't allow Lingerie Football League
Mayor Mick Cornett said Friday that he wouldn't stop the Lingerie Football League from putting a franchise in Oklahoma City, though he is against the idea.
"I just said I was against it,†Cornett said. "I never said that I wouldn't allow it.â€
Cornett said he remained against the idea, though.
A potential tenant for the city-owned Oklahoma City Arena (formerly the Ford Center) or the Cox Convention Center would first have to negotiate a lease with SMG, which manages the venues, and then the lease would have to be approved by the Oklahoma City Council.
"I'm just one vote out of nine,†Cornett said. "But I'm against it.â€
LFL officials will re-evaluate their interest in expanding to Oklahoma City, a league spokesman said Friday.
"Due to Mayor Cornett's action, our executive committee is meeting internally early next week to decide on the next steps,†LFL spokesman Stephon McMillen said.
"We have never had this type of a response from a city official blocking the LFL.â€
McMillen also questioned what the city would and wouldn't allow.
"We find it interesting that satanic worship at the Civic Center and cheerleaders wearing far less than our athletes is moral, but LFL is not,†McMillen said.
A Satanist organization held a public event at the Civic Center Music Hall last month.
The LFL confirmed earlier this week that the league hoped to expand to Oklahoma City in time for the 2011 season, which would begin in August.
But the league does not have a local ownership group in place.
Lingerie Football League Chairman Mitchell Mortaza said it should be left up to potential fans to choose whether a franchise here would be successful.
"Oklahomans should be provided the opportunity to choose for themselves and not dictated to,†Mortaza said. "I thought our plans were for expansion into Oklahoma City, not North Korea.â€
The LFL is playing this year with 10 teams, including teams in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Seattle.
The teams have suggestive names such as Bliss, Desire, Passion, Seduction and Temptation.
LFL games are played 7 on 7, with players dressed in hockey-style helmets, shoulder pads, elbow pads, bras, panties and garters.
Some of the league's games are televised on MTV2.

DMACC has been offered a State Energy Program award worth $44,000 by the Iowa Office of Energy Independence through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The entire scheme will cost $132,000 when coupled with other funds worth $88,000.
DMACC will be incorporating effective power occupancy sensors in their offices, classrooms and other infrastructures through out their eight campuses in Newton, Boone, Ankeny, Ames, Des Moines, Carroll, West Des Moines and Perry, for saving energy worth $74,000 yearly. Based on this scheme they have established three new full-time positions.
Mark Baethke, physical plant director at DMACC, stated that they have been saving energy using the sensors for more than 20 years and due to the inefficiency of the technology at times, the use of sensors for reducing the power consumption was restricted. He added that since the technology has been advanced recently and is economically beneficial, DMACC plans to install sensing technologies in their facilities with the aid of funds allotted for the purpose.
The ultrasonic as well as infrared sensors installed in the campus are capable of monitoring the body temperature and sound. The sensors will also regulate the cooling and heating systems in the classrooms when they are non-functional, in order to conserve energy.

Remembering Dr. King and Slavery in Africa
Grenier, Richard, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
An 18-year-old student starting his freshman year at the elite Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire was shocked to discover that it was the only state in the union that had no official holiday honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Born in India, the student was Gautam Venkatesan. For those who don't follow these matters, Phillips Exeter Academy is one of the most fashionable preparatory schools in the country. And, for those unacquainted with the financial doings of this economic class, sending Gautam Venkatesan to this school is costing his family a tidy fortune. How thoughtful of Mr. Venkatesan to be mindful of those less fortunate than he, one thinks, of those unable to afford the expense of Phillips Exeter. On the other hand, how forgetful he seems to be of the hundreds of millions of caste-ridden Indians unable to escape that most racist of civilizations. Where in India are the monuments honoring those who struggled against the repulsive caste system? (All Britons of course.) And where are the monuments to those determined British civil servants who finally succeeded in stamping out suttee, that colorful Hindu custom whereby widows are burned alive on their dead husbands' funeral pyres? India had to put up with a fair amount of screaming as the poor widows burned to death, but it was an ancient custom and was followed respectfully until the British came along. Perhaps Gautam Venkatesan has never heard of suttee, however, for if he has he might instantly flee savage New Hampshire which refuses to honor Martin Luther King and swiftly make his way to the neatness and orderliness of Hindu's caste system, where with a bit of luck he might now and then catch a whiff of daintily roasted female flesh.
But New Hampshire is not the only place in the world which refuses to honor Martin Luther King. Going far beyond simply refusing to honor King, many states, in Africa this time - a part of the world with closer links to Martin Luther King than Gautam Venkatesan - still carry on a thriving trade in human chattel. Slavery has been reported from time to time in Saudi Arabia, Libya, Chad, Sudan, as well as in the west Saharan state of Mauritania, where to all appearances it's positively flourishing. Samuel Cotton, a black American reporter who spent several days in Mauritania a year ago, estimated that the slave population there amounted to 100,000.
But among those astonishingly indifferent to African slavery - as recounted by David Aikman in the latest American Spectator - are most African-Americans and black American organizations. Last March, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, still aglow from his Million Man March, went so far as flatly to deny that slavery still existed in the Sudan - where others claim that a nice black slave can be bought for $15. …

An attempted armored car robbery in Northwest Washington left one person shot and D.C. police searching for more suspects, authorities say.
Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Anthony Clay says that a Garda armored truck was the target of a robbery by three people in the 6500 block of Georgia Avenue NW.
"It was just a loud popping noise one after another so there was several sequence of shots," said one witness.
According to a Washington Hospital Center spokesperson, two men believed to be the suspects in this crime drove to the hospital in this tan colored Toyota Matrix with Maryland tags.
One man, suffering from serious gunshot wounds, was dropped off at the ER while the other suspect wiped down the vehicle for fingerprints then ran away.
Police released very few details about this crime.
"There are several witnesses who were actually around the area and we're talking to them trying to get a complete story of the events that took place this morning," said MPD Commander Kim Chisley-Missouri.t.

Ok, the winner is Schlussel
The category was who is the next Coulter or Malkin wannabe? She has the sputtering attacks, the vicious smears, and reprehensible lies all down. Debbie Schlussel has been hanging around the edges of the punditry world, firing off daily faxes to media platforms asking to be a guest on topics for over a year. Now that she has gone over the top in rabidness I bet she will get foundation sponsorship and a permanent gig somewhere. Oops, she already picked up Heritage sponsorship.
I should probably just create a mad dog tag for these links to rabid conservatives.
Debbie: "Media Matters bragged to the Wall Street Journal that it was responsible for taking down Don Imus. I suppose now that Don Imus is gone, they've assigned the vegan lesbian transsexual 'interspecies erotica' devotee they had monitoring the Imus show to monitor my site."

Olivier Giroud is a hitman with attitude
ARSENE WENGER was always convinced Olivier Giroud would come good – because he has the attitude to go with his ability.
He is a fighter, he is ready to have a go and he is genuine
But five goals in his last six games and a number of assists suggests that Giroud, 26, is finally getting to grips with life in England.
Wenger said: "He still has some work to do but he convinces you about something more than just his game.
"It's his overall attitude. He is a fighter, he is ready to have a go and he is genuine.
"You don't cheat people on that, people smell that in the stands.
"That's why I feel he is accepted, not just because of his game but he is really genuinely committed on the pitch.
"He has the characteristics of a centre-forward I like in England – complete commitment, capability to win balls in
the air and fighting attitude."
Wenger says Arsenal will have to be wary of another English-style striker against Aston Villa today – Christian Benteke, 21.
The big Belgian dropped a bombshell last week when he revealed he loves the Gunners and only joined Villa as a
stepping stone to bigger things.
So Benteke will be pleased to hear he is on Wenger's radar.
He said: "We have looked at him but we had already signed Giroud who had a clause in his contract, so that was an easy decision."
Wenger reckons Arsenal are getting their confidence back after successive wins over Tottenham and Montpellier.
He said: "I hope we are over it. It is only coming with results. I hope we will be back to our normal level of confidence."

Oskar is very much a people person. He enjoys hanging around or lingering for more than he's welcome. It's not that he doesn't understand social situations, he just very much enjoys being the problem in most scenarios. He is very scanty and spicy, always poking fun or looking to amuse himself. While he can seem to be quite a social butterfly, he is also very smart. His lazy exterior places him to be a loser, stoner, or a bum, when he actually suffers from insomnia. He thinks constantly and can be very much a philosophist, especially late at night when he is too tired to censor himself. Since he is so comfortable with himself, he will likely talk to anyone who walks by and easily carry a conversation if they happen to sick around. Oskar is a very lonely person and doesn't like to admit it and often blows off his own securities by placing the spotlight on someone else.
Oskar is born of the slums, of a sort. With a single mother, it's a miracle how they can even afford to have him attend school. He used to be very quiet when young and suffered from casual bullying when his breed was considered 'mutt'. Now and days, if he receives any remark about being a mutt, he will likely disregard it and not give a shit.
Additional info:
The easiest way to this pups heart is through a casual day at the park, or pizza and video games. A very easy person to please.

I'm a little late, and I don't expect to make it in. I just thought it looked like a ton of fun and the people there all looked nice as well.
I don't understand why did this dog become self-aware? He doesn't possess the knowledge to know that his breed is seen as a mutt by many and that he is a inbred figment of someone's imagination?
Wow you are so right, I don't know what I was thinking. I must be stupid to think that a drawing could be self-aware. I may have made this a while ago and no longer use the character, but that definitely doesn't hinder his overall relevance.
He is lovely ^^ we should rp sometime
Haha thank you, and certainly!
impressive as always

Changing, change your clothes.
I rearrange your face for you.
If you can breathe, when I am broke...
I'll give it all right back to you
Oho, oho, oho!
I wanna taste your fucking blood!
I wanna paint your fucking ass!
I wanna scream you into your ears aloud.
Change your name, change your eyes.
Take on the world, in my despise.
If you aside the need to ride.
Then turn around and go outside.
Oho, oho, oho!
I wanna taste your fucking blood!
I wanna paint your fucking ass!
I wanna scream you into your ears aloud.

I know the old adage: I've only got one chance to make a first impression. Well, that holds especially true on a first date with a new guy. Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant recommends wearing something "sexy, flirty, and fun." Designer Marc Bouwer suggests not dressing too provocatively, though. "Don't be afraid to show off your shape, just not in a very low-cut or bondage look," he says. "I suggest a button down silk shirt paired with a pencil skirt or a sexy pair of jeans."
And here are my Date-Night Style Tips inspired from Bryant and Bouwer's style:
Your hair and makeup on a first date should be natural "with a touch of glamour". I part my dry hair, and section it into thick parts. I use a 2-inch curling iron on each section from the middle to the end and a spray gel for hold. I allow the curling iron to set for a few seconds before moving on to the next section. Once finished, I softly run my fingers through the curls to achieve a soft, wavy look.
If my date asks me to watch a football game at the neighbourhood pub, I want to look the part while still maintaining my sense of style. Read: no oversized team jersey. A fabulous pair of jeans, great leather boots and a knit vest always work. They're great for any occasion. A fitted sweater finished with a motorcycle jacket is a perfect look for a day date. If it's cold, wear a draped scarf in a neutral colour softly tied at chest level.
I blow dry my hair straight, then part it to my favourite side and lightly twist the front pieces to the back of my head and secure with bobby pins. I pull out my bangs, if I have them, to frame my face and spray before securing the crown ponytail with an elastic band. I use a 2-inch curling iron to create natural curls.
If he asks me to meet him at an undisclosed location for our next romantic encounter, he may not realize that he's leaving me in a fashion lurch. My best bet? The LBD. That little black dress always works. I can dress it up or down by bringing a medium-sized purse to keep a pair of flats and a more luxe pair of earrings so I can quickly update my look for the excursion. Bouwer advises wearing layers. A tailored jacket or vest is also great for the unexpected.
The intricate updo is delicate and exudes an aura of romance. I use a 1-inch curling iron on large sections of dry hair to create wavy curls. Once finished, I part my hair to my favourite side and pull curls back into a soft chignon and secure it with bobby pins. I then take the curls from the part, my temple, and my ear lobe, and then twist and pin them to the back. I also allow some curls to frame my face and hair spray to set and hold.
Getting the right fashion for the right date is easy as long as you are able to sense up your style. Be bold and fashionable!

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Luz Adilia is a 38-year-old woman and mother of two children who are school-aged. She lives in the town of El Sauce, where she was born and raised. Ten years ago she began her business with the little capital that she was loaned, and with the goal to have her own grocery store business where she offered general goods that would generate income to help her husband with the household expenses. Little by little it has grown and she has stocked it with an inventory of products that help attract her customers.
This Señora is very hard-working because at five in the morning she begins her work; preparing her son for school and later tending to the business as well as all the household chores. All of this is done with sacrifice in order to give her children the best education and to leave them, as an inheritance in the future, a good house so that they do not lack a roof to live under.
With the goal of continuing to stock the business with products that she doesn't currently have to attract her customers, she is asking for a loan to buy soap, rice, sugar, corn, and oil. She hopes and has faith in God that the Kiva lenders, through Ceprodel, will grant her this loan to continue working and to get ahead in life.

Luz Adilia es una señora de 38 años, madre de dos hijos que están en edad escolar. Habita en el municipio de El Sauce donde fue nacida y criada.
Desde hace 10 años inició su negocio con un pequeño capital que le financiaron con el objetivo de tener su propio negocio el cual consiste en una pulpería donde ofrece abarrotería en general, que generara ingresos para ayudar a su esposo en los gastos del hogar.
Poco a poco ha ido creciendo y surtiendo el inventario de productos que ayudan a atraer a sus clientes.
Esta señora es muy trabajadora ya que desde las cinco de la mañana inicia su labor alistando a su hijo para el colegio y luego atender el negocio junto con los quehaceres del hogar.
Todo esto lo hace con sacrificio para darle lo mejor a sus hijos en educación y dejarles como herencia para el futuro una buena casa para que no les falte un techo donde vivir.
Con el fin de seguir surtiendo el negocio de productos que actualmente no tiene para atraer la demanda de sus clientes está necesitando de un crédito para comprar jabón, arroz, azúcar, maíz y aceite.
Espera y confía en Dios que los inversionistas de Kiva a través de Ceprodel le otorgarán este préstamo para seguir luchando y salir adelante

I work for an art gallery - our website was built by a previous designer to me and it is in dire need of a revamp, ideally in WordPress as most of our staff are already competent in WP.
The Irish Architecture Foundation has all of the features we'd need (events, exhibitions, home, interaction etc) - I like the way it's laid out and although ours would be a simpler version and stylistically very different, the fundamental core of their site is perfect. I assume theirs is custom but it gives me a lot of hope as theirs is built in WordPress too!
Are there existing themes/plugins that I could use to build something similar?

1. Long History of a Short Lens
What's all the fuss surrounding Canon's new 40mm "pancake" lens? So called because of their flat, short-barrel look, pancake lenses are primes made with thin glass and have been a convenient carry-along for photographers for over 100 years. They are an unobtrusive lens with aesthetic appeal, a longtime favorite in the mirrorless/Micro Four Thirds crowd. Canon has finally jumped on the bandwagon with its inaugural pancake: the EF 40mm f/2.8.
2. Better Focusing Distance and Bokeh
Most pancakes fall into the normal-to-wide focal range and this one is no exception. While most, especially older, pancake lenses are unable to focus down on anything closer than 18 inches, this one is able to home in at a relatively close 11.8 inches. And with 7 diaphragm blades at f2.8, the bokeh on this lens is quite good.
3. STM Enables Video Auto Focusing on the Canon Rebel T4i
This lens is certainly a great go-t0 for travelers looking to pack light, however, the technology of the 40mm is principally for video and will allow the camera to focus continuously while shooting video. The STM (STepping Motor) feature of this lens offers smooth and quiet continuous auto focusing when used with the video functionality of the new Canon Rebel T4i (for our review of the T4i, click here).
4. Why a 40mm Focal Length?
But why 40mm's? The focal length is certainly a bit of a novelty. The most commonly-found lengths for prime lenses are 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm (with 24mm becoming a favorite as well). For some, it is just a matter of having a very specific preference–the 35mm, on a full frame camera, is just a little wide while the 50mm is a little long. For a crop sensor camera, the 40mm is the equivalent to about 64mm–still a good "middle ground" length.
In case you missed it, see how the 40mm focal length stacks up to other traditional focal lengths in our Facebook Lens Face-Off Challenge.
Our Conclusion:
If you're a photographer looking for a lightweight lens with a decent focusing distance, good bokeh, and is unobtrusive (a great feature for street photographers), give the 40mm a try. If you're a videographer, especially if you are trying out the new T4i, the STM will impress, especially for the price.

Neurosteroid Activation of Endogenous Neural Stem Cells for Neonatal Brain Damage Repair
Brain damage affects 1 in 700 California newborns, yet there are very few ways of treating newborn brain damage. Prematurity, stroke and vascular accidents are the main culprits. These forms of brain damage can have long-lasting effects, including loss of intellectual and motor function. We have shown that a rarely-studied steroid called allopregnanolone (ALLO), which is made in the normal newborn brain, helps the brain recover from injury. We aim to develop the use of ALLO to treat newborn brain damage. We have already shown that ALLO slows brain degeneration and prolongs life in mice that have genetic brain diseases that also affect children. We propose to develop ALLO treatment by testing its effects in mice with brain injury. ALLO should stimulate the damaged brain to produce more stem cells and integrate these cells into the damaged tissue, facilitating healing. We will also use mice to test whether ALLO can increase the survival and growth of human neural stem cells that are being used in clinical trials. We will check our results using the same tests used for human assessments, so that our results can be rapidly brought to clinical trials. We have also been developing ALLO for the treatment of other brain diseases (lysosomal storage diseases), so its clinical use for neonatal brain injury should progress rapidly to IND. Development of ALLO as a way to stimulate regeneration following newborn brain injury may prevent the life-long consequences of cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy affects approximately 1 in 700 children in California. Overall lifetime costs of cerebral palsy exceed $1 million per individual, costing Californians approximately $53 billion in total costs. The most frequent cause of this lifelong disability is preterm birth, closely followed by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in term infants. We propose harnessing the protective and regenerative capacity of allopregnanolone (ALLO), a steroid endogenously made by the normal brain, to prevent the long-term sequelae of neonatal brain damage by stimulating the proliferation and functional differentiation of neural and glial cells. In this Early Translational work, we will use rodent models that mimic the damage associated with preterm birth and cerebral palsy to: (1) establish biological markers of recovery that parallel those seen in human infants, and (2) determine optimal regimens for ALLO stimulation of neurological repair. Development of ALLO as a stem cell stimulant to prevent cerebral palsy and improve neurological function of compromised infants should result in an improved quality of life for Californian children and families. In addition, it will reduce medical costs, limit the financial burden of care-taking, and increase Californian families' household earning potential.

SPAIN: Nissan to make new car at Barcelona plant
By Dave Leggett | 4 February 2013
Nissan has announced that it has allocated production of a new passenger car to its manufacturing plant in Barcelona. Production will begin in July 2014. Barcelona won the bid shortly after reaching a new competitive proposal with the local works council.
The new passenger car brings an additional 80,000 units of annual capacity to Barcelona, through an investment of EUR110m, and the creation of 1,000 direct and 3,000 indirect jobs. The move also diversifies the Barcelona plant's production, which previously had been heavily dependent on light-commercial vehicles and 4x4s – vehicles that have been impacted by the economic crisis, Nissan says.
Additionally, Nissan says it is allocating to Barcelona the production of 24,000 units of additional annual capacity for the 1-Ton Pickup, an investment of EUR14m and the assembly of the gearbox for the Nissan Leaf and Nissan eNV200, an investment of EUR6m.
These investments, totalling more than EUR130m in the coming years, will be used to renovate production lines for the new passenger car, for the introduction of new technology needed to support electric-vehicle production, and for adapting the supplier park to new production requirements. This, Nissan says, adds to more than EUR200m of previously announced investment for the production of a new truck in Nissan's Avila plant and the manufacture in Barcelona of the e-NV200, the second all-electric vehicle to be added to Nissan's line-up.
Nissan says that Barcelona operations are positioned to become among the most competitive and versatile, with the ability to produce passenger cars, 4x4s, LCVs and electric vehicles – a wide range of models designed to meet customer expectations.
Nissan Motor Ibérica Managing Director, Frank Torres said: "I have the pleasure of sharing with you the fruits of the competitiveness agreement reached last week, which have opened the door to new production opportunities. The most important thing now is to be able to ensure the successful launch of these products and keep the competitiveness commitment. If we do, I am sure new opportunities will come."
He added: "In the coming years, Barcelona plant will work at full capacity, with an annual output over 200,000 units while maintaining its attractiveness to produce new models. Given the current crisis environment, this is not only a great achievement for Nissan, but for the entire industry in this country."

Tophi are chalky, gritty accumulations of uric acid crystals that build up in the soft tissue of a gouty joint, often occurring in the elbow or the joints of the fingers or toes. Tophi develop if gout is not treated for an extended period of time.
When tophi are located just under the skin, they are usually firm and movable. The overlying skin may be thin and red. Tophi that are very near the surface of the skin may appear cream-coloured or yellow. If gout progresses without treatment, tophi may form in the cartilage of the external ear or the tissues around the joint (bursae, ligaments, and tendons), resulting in pain, swelling, redness, and warmth (inflammation). Progressive crippling and destruction of cartilage and bone is possible. Fortunately, advances in the early treatment of gout have made this stage of gout uncommon.

Laura and Dr. Lev, it does have a "hijacked by big business" feel these days, doesn't it? And yes, it seems like those other 364 days out of the year need to count, too.
Natalie, which version? I'm seeing a few of them.
Amy: Nor should you be! Any of these you can personally recommend?
This link will tell you all you need to know about donating or selling your books here at BWB! Thanks for asking – we appreciate it!
@Anne — you do have to "invite" people through the invite tab in the contest application. Alas we don't have anyway to track other invites, but we still appreciate those!
If you are in either the Atlanta, GA or South Bend, IN areas you can look for one our big green donation bins: http://www.betterworldbooks.com/donate. Or if you want to go through our online donation process – go to http://www.betterworldbooks.com/buyback
Nancy — I am so sorry you experienced problems with our service. I would very much like to help get this resolved but I need to get the email address that you used to place your order.

I think it's more like corporate America benefiting while still managing to do good deeds. The bottom line is that we are giving away part of the company in an effort to benefit our non-profit literacy partners. As stock option holders, our literacy partners will benefit as the value of the business grows.
Here are the details. Our non-profit literacy partners must earn these stock options by meeting their literacy goals. The nature of an option is the right-to-purchase shares at the current price (a.k.a. strike price – a low price per share) at a future date (when there is a high price per share). So the value of their right-to-buy will grow as Better World Books grows since the strike price never changes.
To be clear, we are GIVING UP part of our company so that our non-profit literacy partners will benefit as the value of the business grows. To Katie's point, if big business ever tried to purchase BWB, this would act to preserve our mission, or at worst result in a windfall for our literacy partners.
Don't be put off by the change. It's minor and I really did think it worked better.
Hey Lara — I wish I knew! We'll definitely let you know as soon as we do!
Hey Mary Ann,
That sounds like a sweet gift! You can find their contact info here http://www.escolaestreladomar.org/home/en.html
Thanks for the kind words.

We went there because of the previous comments made on this CG. At first we were very disappointed. The Garmin took us there on a road that looked like a path through a corn field with no where to turn around. There is infact a better route just up the road. The campground is grass sites and with rain it could be pretty bad with evidence of mud thru-out, but the electricity is good, it is very quiet and after walking around we found it to be VERY interesting. There was no one around but there were instructions to pick a site and someone would be around in the morning. Indeed, that person was the most pleasant and informative elderly lady who drove me to the office so I could pay by CC. Besides the roller rink (which still operates) and a church (still has services on Sundays and many weddings), there is an old hotel, miniature golf and an old mineral springs. This place is way out in the country and not easy to find but it is a gem that I would highly recommend you visit. - rhianna

Beautiful campground. Great hosts. Sites are close together at the campground but only one 50 amp outlet per two sites, other site has to use 30 amp on shared electric box. No to limited TV reception. Has roller rink, miniature golf, snack bar on weekends. Hotel and camping cabins available for rent as well as two halls. Out of the way location, but very, very quiet. A great place to go for the way camping used to be. - oldelzydog
Jun 2012 - $25.00
According to the owner this is the oldest campground in Kansas and dates from 1886. There are many huge Sycamore trees which provide the sites with lots of shade. The sites on the West side where we stayed are not well marked but they are all grassy. There are more sites behind the roller rink which seem to be more popular. There are many things for children to do such as roller skating in the enclosed rink, and miniature golf. The buildings are all interesting as is the hotel and the Spring. We would definitely stay there again. - June from Savann ahb

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Hollow stuff questions http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=4977&th=1060#msg_4977 <![CDATA[Hi there.

 I have a question:
 When hollowing an object you must create something like the first drawing right?
 make a sphere inside the sphere.

 but in the second example.
 will the yellow area be hollow?
 if in my model a part of the leg (for example) goes inside the shoe what will happen?

 i'm afraid it will be hollow...

 or the hollow part have rules? like the face orientacion?]]> elf 2009-06-20T15:57:01-00:00 Re: Hollow stuff questions http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=4978&th=1060#msg_4978 <![CDATA[Hi Elf;

 I touched on this subject in another thread.

  http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=4768 &S=c6bc1855fc445f5cef92b438c16ddb2c&srch=hollow#msg_ 4768

 Bear in mind, some of my thread is educated guesses, but Joris hasn't come along and yelled at me so I guess I'm pretty close to the mark.

Since all S54 motors use the same injectors in stock form, I'm assuming they use the same pumps as well (as would seem appropriate for the same injectors); with the FPR being the exception to similarities between the systems on the M3 and Z4M.
Here we go (in bold):

After reading some carefully constructed and twisted wording in a current thread about "truth and fairness" [in the open market of E46M superchargers], I thought that a simple explanation on the fuel pressure of the E46 M3 would an interesting topic.
On a similar thread I read that the someone believed that the fuel system on the E46 M3 is simply in-adequate for power greater than 430-450 rwhp with a supercharger [based on 20-25 seconds top of 6th gear pulls on a race track].
Keeping in mind at this rpm in 6th one would be hitting high 170's mph, it is not suggested to try this on the street which is where most of these applications are used. The few that may be hitting 170+mph for 20-25seconds straight, better have a roll cage, race gas and supporting custom mods.
With regards to VF-Engineering supercharger systems delivering well in excess of 450whp -
the fuel systems ARE capable of handling upto 500whp on 91 octane.
We have tested this in the arena in which these products are used. With correctly scaled fuel pressure to injector size ratio, the stock fuel pump can support the flow rate required to deliver the whp.
However when using superchargers in a low efficiency setup, the power gain to fuel supply ratio drops. The larger the supercharger (within reason) the less, the energy draw from the crank. The greater the volume of induction charge with least amount of crank draw with produce a more fuel efficient power gain. This is what VF achieves with the Vortech V1 / V2 and V3 units. Size does matter in this case.
Dropping fuel pressure coupled with the correctle specd fuel injectors (kept under 80% duty cycle) will reduce the need to enlarge the diameter of fuel lines or fuel line fittings unnessesarily and continue to provide the volume of fuel needed for a healthy AFRs with more to go.
Increasing fuel line diamters will allow an increased amount of through flow but will make the fuel pump work harder to keep the pressure up. However our testing and testing by several of our performance partners here and in Germany has shown that the stock fuel lines can more than adequately support 600+whp when used with a Bosch 044 intank pump upgrade.
By the time we need to upgrade the fuel system we're going to need a head gasket and studs anyway; then you might as well build the rest...

The UK Film Council is dead. Let's give the British Film Institute a chance
The closure of the public body which put money into films like 'Hunger' and 'In the Loop' is a sad thing. But might this be an exciting new time for British cinema, asks Dave Calhoun?
Without doubt, the end of the UKFC is a blow, and directors like Mike Leigh and Mike Figgis have understandably spoken out against the move, not least because it creates huge uncertainty at a tough time. But should we run along uncritically with all this surprise and shock? The end of the UKFC is being portrayed as Tory axe-wielding, but the truth is, firstly, that the trouble started under Labour and, secondly, that a new approach to how and where we spend public money on film could be a good thing for British cinema.
To understand last week's move, you need to know that last August Labour culture minister Sion Simon proposed a merger of the UKFC with the British Film Institute, the country's other big film body, which manages the National Film Archive, runs BFI Southbank and organises the London Film Festival. The plan was to cut costs and prevent overlap. It's now clear that the Tory solution is to run away with Labour's plans by getting rid of one body entirely – and the UKFC was always more vulnerable. The UKFC was a New Labour quango and the sort of bureaucracy for which the Tories have been sharpening their knives for ages. Moreover, the BFI is a charity, protected by royal charter – it can't be dismantled. Even more importantly, the BFI is a cultural body; too many of the UKFC's activities existed to help the industry turn a greater profit – is that really the job of money designated to promote culture? Neither did it help the UKFC's cause that so many of its execs were on high salaries compared to those doing similar jobs at the BFI. It looked bad.
Behind closed doors, the BFI and its canny chairman Greg Dyke will be thrilled. Not only have Dyke and his colleagues fended off talk of a merger but they find themselves back in the pre-2000 position of being funded by government rather than in the pay of the UKFC, an organisation too often embarrassed to treat film as culture. In the end, that was Chris Smith's biggest mistake: to subjugate the BFI, a cultural body, to the UKFC, a trade one. That mistake has been corrected.
Yet this is no time for dancing on tables. Whatever its faults, the UKFC performed a crucial role in developing and producing British films. There has been wild talk about the UKFC only producing box-office disasters like 'Sex Lives of the Potato Men' or big films in no need of support. Neither is true. Filmmakers like Andrea Arnold and Steve McQueen needed government help and received it from the UKFC. It's these filmmakers we should now be most concerned about.
However, let's not call time on British independent film just yet. The Tories' announcement last week suggested that the money given to film by the UKFC – £15m a year – is safe (even if the exact figure is not clear). The big question is: who will dish it out? Will the BFI be asked to manage a production fund, as it did pre-2000, producing films like 'Under the Skin', 'Gallivant' and 'Love is the Devil' ? Will the Arts Council assume a role? Or will a new body be established, with key roles for BBC Films and Film Four?
I think the most exciting – and daring – result would be for the BFI to take on the most essential of the UKFC's work – meaning that a cultural body would be putting money into film as culture. But at the same time we must redefine what needs support. If the demise of the UKFC means that films on the level of 'The Constant Gardener', 'Bend It Like Beckham', 'Gosford Park' and 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' – all of which received UKFC help – have to go without, so be it. With its archive and twin focus on heritage and education, the BFI celebrates film as an art form, a principle that should apply to future funding. Our culture needs raw visions, new talent, difficult stories. We need to take risks. We need to be prepared to put money into films that might not make a single penny but which nurture and develop both talent and audiences and which progress British cinema rather than just repeating past successes and chasing foreign awards. Let's ask ourselves why we give public money to film. Is it to provide support to an art form? Or is it to provide extra capital to an industry? I'd argue that it's the former – and no organisation is better placed to honour that approach than the BFI.
