Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Test data available for this lens:
|I own it
|I want it
|I had it
The EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is Canon's mid-priced 50mm fast prime, sitting between the inexpensive F1.8 and high-end F1.2 lenses. It offers excellent optical quality, especially when stopped down a bit, and offers a generally more-refined experience than the cheaper lens. It performs very well as both a 'normal' lens on full frame cameras, and a short portrait telephoto on APS-C.

|Min focus
|0.45 m (17.72″)
|Max magnification
|290 g (0.64 lb)
|51 mm (1.99″)
This is a lens which has its own distinct strengths; it's ideal for users looking to buy a relatively small, lightweight prime, in order to gain image quality simply unavailable on a zoom for the same price. It's an excellent companion to full-frame DSLRs, and also doubles pretty well as a portrait lens on APS-C cameras.
Good for: Lightweight, sharp and versatile. This inexpensive prime lens is a great traveling companion for full-frame and APS-C DSLRs.
Not so good for: Shooting 'wide open'. The dreamy softness at F1.4 won't appeal to everyone, and corner sharpness isn't great at the widest apertures (not that it matters much).

Million Dollar Arm
Family-friendly baseball flick is entertaining enough, but not quite as harmless as it seems.
By Max Weiss. Posted on May 15, 2014, 3:42 pm
-Walt Disney Films
The following review contains spoilers. But it's a Disney film, which means the outcome is pretty much a foregone conclusion, anyway.
On the face of it—and, okay, in a few substantial ways, too—Million Dollar Arm is just a charming and harmless film about JB (Jon Hamm), a down-on-his-luck sports agent who decides to mount a giant publicity stunt to find a couple of Indian cricket players who can pitch in the majors. Pegging India as an untapped market worth billions, he secures a wealthy backer, travels to India, and sets up a reality TV-style game show to search for talent. Turns out, the two naïve young men he brings back to the States (Suraj Sharma and Madhur Mittal) don't even play cricket—they just happen to have strong arms. He takes them to his house and, over the course of the film, comes to realize that he's been exploiting these boys and learns to care for them as a father figure.
So far so good. And there's some cute business along the way, with Alan Arkin as a jaded talent scout who can tell if a pitcher has "juice" just by listening to the pop of the ball in the glove. Lake Bell is too good to play Brenda, the generic love interest who helps save our hero from his own shallowness, but she's always a welcome presence. And to the film's credit, JB's partner (Aasif Mandvi) is also Indian, but so fully assimilated into American culture, he knows as much about Indian customs as JB does.
But I was skeptical when I saw that Disney was trumpeting this film as "based on a true story." I'm a pretty big baseball fan. If there were a couple of Indian kids in the majors—or even the minors—I feel like I would've heard of them. The truth is that the boys in the film do eventually get signed to a minor league contract—and neither pans out. At the end of the film, we are told that they're both baseball coaches in India, with undefeated seasons. (This seems a lot less impressive when you realize that baseball is barely even played over there.) But that's okay, right? Not every inspirational film has to have a totally happy ending. But whose film is this really? Ultimately, Million Dollar Arm is about the journey of JB—yep, another white guy becoming a better person based on his interaction with people of color. Hooray! (In some ways, Jon Hamm, playing a Disney-lite version of Don Draper, was particularly annoying casting. It's not like Hamm can help the fact that he is essentially white male privilege incarnate, but it adds to my discomfort with the film.)
Million Dollar Arm is certainly respectful of Indian culture—the boys pray and they're completely devoted to their country and families. But I couldn't help but to think this was a case of form imitating content, that Disney itself was looking to exploit the same billion dollar market that JB was. As stories go, the two Indian boys who almost made it to the majors is good enough, certainly not remarkable. But—fingers crossed!—it should do boffo business in India.

Resume Comics?A lot of people have said they hope I return to making comics. That's definitely something I'd like to do at some point but ... I guess there are some issues? Well... more like I'm not totally sure how to go about it. I could just try to pick up exactly where I left off with Ninmu Nanmu and make comics exactly the way I used to... except that I wasn't doing very well in the first place. I never updated on time because it took me an unreasonable amount of time to finish each page. If I want to return to comics I'm going to need to do something differently but at this stage I'm not really sure what.
Make Games?I also haven't given up on the idea of making games. I've poked at the code for Ninmu Nanmu here and there... I'm really happy with a lot of it, I just have no idea how to make an actual game. I'm good with code and decent with art but apparently terrible at game design? Or more accurately terrible at planning and executing a game design more complicated than "jump from platform to platform". So I dunno, maybe I should just try to make a couple super simple games and see if I can build toward something more interesting.
Life is HardFor the last six months I've been working as a school bus driver... the pay is actually pretty good all things considered. Better than any other job I've had in the past at least. Unfortunately it turned out to be way more exhausting than I would have guessed, so I generally had no time for anything beyond working, chores, and staying sane. On the upside, I have the summer off because school is out and there's not much work for school bus drivers. If I want to make comics or games (or have any hobbies, really) I'll need to find a different job before September. Part of me wants to throw myself into comics, commissions, etc and try to make money that way but... that's an extremely difficult road.
That 'TG' StuffProbably a lot of people following me here on DeviantArt want to see me return to the quasi-fetish TG-themed stuff I used to post, but honestly I'm kinda burned out on that. It's not like I've lost interest altogether or anything I just... I dunno, I'm bothered by a lot of what goes on with TG transformations/captions/whatever. There's a bizarre level of sexism, homophobia, and transphobia and I'm really not okay with that. From day one I've been doing TG stuff motivated by humor, curiosity, and exploring differences between men and women. I've probably made some missteps but I never wanted to suggest that any combination of male/female/straight/gay/cis/trans/etc is better or worse than any other.
I dunno I'm really bumming myself out with this topic. I'm starting to think maybe this is the single biggest obstacle to resuming comics and other art here... I don't want to hurt anybody and I don't want to be part of a pattern or community that hurts people. In the beginning I was just like "Hey my comic will have gay people and trans people and it'll be awesome!" and then I realized that it's actually really easy to fuck up and become part of the problem without even realizing it.
I think that's enough journal for now. I've got a better idea of what I need to figure out, so mission accomplished I guess?

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Amira Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) will jointly develop, manufacture, and commercialize FLAP (5-lipoxygenase activating protein) inhibitors for the treatment of respiratory and cardiovascular disease.
Under the terms of the agreement, GSK will be granted an exclusive, worldwide license to all Amira's FLAP inhibitors. In the event that all potential development and regulatory milestones are successfully achieved, Amira could receive up to $425 million in upfront and milestone payments. In addition, Amira will be entitled to tiered royalty payments based on worldwide net sales and commercial sales milestones.
Initial development activities will focus on AM103 for the treatment of asthma. Positive data from a Phase I study completed in November, showed AM103 has the potential as a once-daily, oral, nonsteroidal asthma treatment, according to the companies.
"To have identified such a positive drug candidate and progressed to the completion of Phase I trials just two years after the company was founded is a tremendous achievement for the team at Amira," says Peppi Prasit, CSO and cofounder of Amira. "We are delighted that GlaxoSmithKline will be taking this asset into full development. With their experience and expertise in this area we hope that AM103 will become the first FLAP inhibitor available to patients worldwide to treat symptoms of asthma and possibly other inflammatory diseases."

Pain after Microdisectomy? Any help appreciated!

Re: Pain after Microdisectomy? Any help appreciated!
Thanks teteri! I think the toughest part is not knowing what to expect after the surgery. I don't have a clue what is normal and what is not. Are certain sensations or pain part of the healing process or an indicator something is wrong. Man did I feel great first 2 weeks, as if nothing happened at all, it was great.
I can only hope it is a normal part of the healing process and not a re-herniation or something of that nature. I have wondered how long steroids/antibiotics can have an effect after the surgery. That logic seems to make sense and I hope that is exactly what I am experiencing.
I notice if I sit for a little while, when I get up I get a sharp pain the first 2 or 3 steps and then it seems to go away. Outside of the it seems like low level pain, but certain motion can trigger it to get sharp.
I may call the PA from the neurosurgeon's office this week if it worsens.

This review is from: Edexcel A2 Psychology Student Unit Guide: Unit 4 New Edition How Psychology Works (Paperback)
I tend to have a problem with waffling and so losing marks, so this has been very helpful in that it condenses everything down to simple bullet points and makes me aware of exactly what needs to be in my revision notes. as the syllabus is pretty sprawling for this year, it's also very comforting to have everything summed up in so few pages (Only half of he actual book is curriculum content, with the rest being exam questions.) The examiner's tips as you go along are also great.

Our collie cross had problems with collitis prior to using this product - he is so much better now and knowing what I know now I would always use a wet food rather than dry. We always bulk out his food with more carrots and rice. Have noticed a difference since we have gone on to brown rice - he is even better. Great product would recommend highly.

ASRock Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3 (Intel Z68) Motherboard Review
We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASUS, MSI, Western Digital and Corsair.
Nothing has changed in our testbed since we looked at the ASRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3. Of course, the big thing worth mentioning is that some of our boards use the new Corsair Force GT SATA III drive while others use our older Kingston SATA II drive. This is shown, though, in tests that are impacted by the use of the faster hard drive, predominately PCMark 7 and our Hard Drive testing itself.
On to the overclocking side of things, we got some good performance out of the board with the final clocking coming in at 5049MHz via a 101BCLK and a 50x multiplier.
In our graphs this speed will be represented as 5.05GHz and should yield some good performance over the default clock speeds. Really, there's not much more that has to be said; we've got a strong lineup of boards here as our lineup grows larger and larger while we test more and more motherboards.
Let's get started!

50 Cent 'Targeted by Credit Card Fraudsters'
Two men were arrested in West Hartford, Connecticut over allegations they tried to buy two $1,000 (GBP625) flatscreen TVs from a local electronics store last year using the 50 Cent's American Express number, according to the New York Daily News.
The pair was detained by cops after the store owner became suspicious and called the credit card company.
The publication reports there have been other attempts to illegally use 50 Cent's card details in two other towns in Connecticut, as well as in New York.
Defence attorney, Frank Canace, who is representing one of the men arrested, refused to comment as the case is still pending.
An American Express spokeswoman tells the New York Daily News, "(We) will not hold our card members liable for any fraudulent charges."

Well, as a person who used to live in Krakow I can say it was my impression too. However, it rather reminded problems in Balkan area, as Krakow never been an "problematic" area, not even important and famous communism-opposing events happened there (think rather Berlin, Gdansk..). So no, I see no connection between Krakow itself and Krakohzia from the movie.

We have all been outsmarted by the 40 year plan devised by Ted Kennedy and the liberals since his time. The movement to allow the illegal vote and to make it easier for those minorities to vote has succeeded. The minority vote now falls to the white vote. It ail never change until the republicans lower the bar and that will make us just like the dens. I wished I could be optimistic, but "the dye is cast." i can't stand being a republican any longer because I no longer know who we are. Lastly, Ronald Reagan could not have won this last election.

Discussing Jonathan Gottschall's book The Storytelling Animal, and what it means for our presentations.
Via José Carlos
Maybe you have heard you should use stories to bring your content to life, but aren't sure why or how storytelling adds value. You might even wonder if using stories is worth the risk of looking silly, or worth the time it will take to learn to do it well. Here are some of the compelling reasons why I think it is worthwhile to use stories and storytelling in your presentations.

We were having this conversation in late August, two days after Jeffrey Johnson shot his former co-worker in front of the Empire State Building. I asked her what she thought about nine people getting hit by the police in the crossfire. "Situational awareness," she matter-of-factly replied. "The cops didn't have time to think through the situation. They had to react. If that deer had turned and pointed a gun at me, I wouldn't have had the luxury of remembering Mrs. Bransford sitting in front of her TV set."
Telling a story is like doing an out-loud situational awareness check -- minus the gun -- and subject to the influence of time, circumstances, and the intention of the storyteller-mediator. It is not one thing, there is no fixed meaning, and the relative power of a story is bound to this wider context of time and place.
Right now, there is a run on storytelling in public media. We're seeing a pervasive, competitive focus that promises "reinvention" of the form...

It's no secret that some of the world's greatest stories have come to the attention of the masses via Hollywood. But the formula for telling good stories is not limited to Sunset Boulevard. Among brands, storytelling is also a commonly used strategy. Still, there are a lot of insights we can use from the entertainment industry to increase brand engagement on social media.
Brand storytelling can be a good way to build consumer trust and to get them more involved with the brand and goes beyond campaigns. As a brand creates memorable characters and exciting plots around the product or service, consumers will be able and willing to identify with it. This creates involvement and may ultimately increase purchase intent. But how do you create a successful story? And what can we learn from the entertainment industry?

Public relations people need to harness the power of storytelling to drive behavioral change, Marion McDonald, managing director of strategy and planning at Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, told a ThinkTank Live seminar in Hong Kong on "The Age of Engagement."
"Science shows that humans organize experiences into stories," says McDonald. "And we categorize them based on our emotional reactions to those stories. And science has shown that it's the emotional part of the brain that helps us make decision. So when we appeal to people through facts and reason we're missing the point. We need to reach them through emotion, and to do that we need to tell stories."

You're The Best One Lyrics

Album: Six And Six
You're the best one that I came to see
You're the last one that I want to see
You're one in a million, Lord I think I forgot to come
You're the top of the mountain, the rest is on the way down
You know I think I could tell you
I think you ought to know
There was somebody new before you
With you I learned to know them all
And all that came before them
And all that go here from now
You go with them gently
With love on your mind

Barabbas on Reelz
By Devin D. O'Leary
Just in time for the Easter season, Reelz Channel offers up a ham-handed, hammily acted mini-series of mostly dubious Biblical provenance. Given that our tolerance for corny, overproduced, excessively long Biblical epics is at a seasonal high, though, perhaps some of us are in the mood for a little ham.

Starship lands at Gibbston Valley
Relevant offers
Starship frontman Mickey Thomas is taking his time travelling New Zealand before performing to an estimated crowd of 15,000 in Gibbston at the weekend.
Starship have gone through several incarnations and offshoots since the original lineup of Jefferson Airplane in the 1960s with its psychedelic rock and Grace Slick's distinctive vocals.
Jefferson Airplane members formed Jefferson Starship in the 1970s then Mickey Thomas split to form Starship, a group that became known for rock hits in the 80s and 90s while the Jefferson group retained the original psychedelic leanings.
Thomas, born in Georgia in the US in 1949, has lived and breathed music since 1960s and credits inspiration for embarking on a career in music to a live show by The Beatles in 1965.
He joined Jefferson Starship in 1979 before line-up changes and personality differences led to it disbanding and Starship featuring Mickey Thomas was formed in 1992.
Thomas said he was looking forward to the group's first New Zealand tour.
''It's been great, the people are just awesome, very friendly and very helpful. All the Americans said we're going to love it.''
Thomas credits his musical upbringing in part to growing up during the 1960s in the era of classic rock.
''I am one of those people who was lucky to be born at the right time. I was 14 when The Beatles invaded the States.
''I got Beatlemania, saw them perform live in 1965. That was my catalyst. There were so many other great bands that came along, The [Rolling] Stones, [The] Animals. That whole genre, I was influenced by all of them.''
Starship with Mickey Thomas are perhaps best known for their hits in the 1980s and 1990s, songs such as Jane, We Built This City and Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now, an Oscar nominated hit from the 1987 bodyswap movie Mannequin.
Thomas said fans were assured the group was planning to blast out the hits and round out set lists with material from the group's new album Loveless Fascination.

Why It Costs What It Costs: Vacuum Cleaners
Learn what to look for when buying a new vacuum.
BODY: Dyson vacuums (starting at $200) are built from the same high-impact-resistant materials used in crash helmets and riot shields, and they are rigorously tested to verify their durability: During development, cleaners are dropped onto floors 5,318 times to certify they can withstand ten years of use.
MOTOR: Don't get confused by cleaners that advertise high amps (which indicate the vacuum's electricity consumption). Instead of a cleaner carpet, you might just wind up with a larger electric bill.
FILTERS: Sealed HEPA filters are the most effective at trapping allergens. They cost about $25 and provide the same filtration as many pricey anti-allergenic machines.
NOZZLE/SUCTION: Intelligence is expensive. A special sensor on the Sebo Automatic X4 vacuum ($679) automatically adjusts the machine to the appropriate cleaning height for each surface (like hardwood or carpeting). For $100, you can get the Hoover WindTunnel with a manual dial that does exactly the same thing.
CANISTER: Cheaper bagged cleaners like the Dirt Devil Breeze Lightweight ($70) are actually more dependable than fancier bagless models. The bag protects the motor from large particles that would otherwise circulate freely inside the machine, damage the motor, and diminish its life span.
POWER CABLE: Dyson engineers unwind and rewind a cleaner's cable 6,400 times to make sure it won't kink or break.
BUMPER: The S 8990 UniQ canister vacuum cleaner from Miele takes its design (and price) cues from luxury cars: Features like a velvet bumper, mahogany-colored metallic finish, and underbody lights for cleaning in dark areas will cost you $1,500.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.
One thought on "Why It Costs What It Costs: Vacuum Cleaners"
I love my Miele UniQ. While it may be pricey, it has the best warranty around. And not having to even think about needing a new vac for at least 10 years? That's piece of mind and time not wasted shopping for another cheap vac next year!

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.0 /5 from 20 reviews
Hotel is at the end of a dead end street, a bit difficult to find, in a residential neighborhood considered in a "banlieu" of Beirut. You need a car to go pretty much anywhere. Hotel will book it for you, yet due to traffic conditions in Beirut, it could take up to 45 minutes to arrive. Prices vary but always not less than 10 USD. Hotel looks more like an apartment building adapted to hotel use, environment looks a bit old and "used", restaurant with limited choice. There is a private club (e.g. sports, swimming pool) in building so there are always people not staying in hotel going in and out. Overall ok for 2 nights. Hotel staff is very professional, helpful and patient with any request you may have.
This is not the first time to stay in this hotel. I intend to stay at it when I visit Beirut because of its convenient location to where I do my business. The Hotel is good but needs maintenance. The carpet is so old and having so many spots which makes someone like me suffers from Asthma feels terrible. Electricity is a major challenge in this facility as well. There is a generator but it's so disturbing when the power is cut off, it takes time for the generator to work till the power is back. That happened frequently all day long.
The staff at the hotel are very helpful and attentive, and the location is quiet and relaxing after a busy day of work in the area. Nice breakfast buffet, and very relaxing outdoor pool area
The Cosmopolitan Hotel is probably Beirut's best kept secret hotel. It is located in a quiet resendential district just 20 minutes from downtown, a taxi to Hamra is $13. Within walking distance from the hotel are shops and cafes. The hotel has an outdoor pool, indoor pool and gym. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We often ate in the restaurant and always enjoyed the freshly prepared dishes which were very reasonably priced. We would definiteley stay here again on our next visit to Beirut!
The hotel is cozy and the staff are friendly. There is a free Wi-Fi and no limit to the devices you can use. Breakfast is fine if you are in hurry and need a quick meal with a cup of tea/coffee.

Russia, Ukraine, EU Continue Negotiations over Gas Prices
Three-party gas negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, and the European Union will continue on Tuesday in Brussels after the sides failed to reach an agreement on Monday.
The main issues are Ukraine's gas debt and the future prices. Gazprom has warned that if Kiev doesn't repay its USD 5.2B debt, it can stop the delivery.
Meanwhile, Russia has set a new price of USD 485 per 1,000 cubic meters, amending the previously agreed USD 285, in response to the ousting of the former President Viktor Yanukovych.
Russia also obliged Ukraine to pre-pay its import of gas starting June.
European Commissioner for Energy Guenther Oettinger revealed that the sides had long talks on Monday, which lasted into the night, but still many questions and differences in positions remained, ITAR-TASS informed.
The European Union is worried about a potential gas crisis resulting from the dispute between Russia and Ukraine. It is believed that Commissioner Oettinger is trying to negotiate a middle price for the gas, to satisfy the demands of both sides.
