Sony Alpha DSLR cameras
Dennis Hissink : March 10th 2007 - 19:41 CET
Sony Alpha DSLR cameras :
I was just passing by the Sony booth and was looking at the collection of Sony Alpha lenses and cameras…. Wait a minute, did I say cameras? YES, Sony showcased two new Sony Alpha digital SLR cameras without giving away specifications or date of introduction. However I managed to get some information and of course I am free to speculate of course. Megapixels? I don't know and the Sony people made sure no one is mentioning anything about this to anyone. Ok, let me start with the first new Sony Alpha digital SLR camera; this new model is aimed at the high amateur looking for a higher level of performance than the A100 for advanced users. What does this mean? Beats me, but it sure looks promising!
Sony Alpha digital SLR camera
According to my information the new semi professional Sony Alpha model incorporates a newly developed image sensor and BIONZ processor achieving high level total picture quality. The new Alpha SLR features in camera image stabilization and is targeted to meet the higher demands for performance and specification requirements of high amateur photographers. I would be surprised if we don't see this new Sony Alpha digital SLR camera being introduced before the holiday season!
Sony Alpha professional DSLR camera
The second model is supposed to become the flagship model of the Alpha series. This new professional model incorporates also a newly developed image sensor and BIONZ processor achieving high level total picture quality. The professional Sony Alpha SLR features in camera image stabilization and is targeted to meet the higher demands for performance and specification requirements of even professional photographers. When will this high end model be introduced officially or even available is very difficult to predict, however it seems that there is a big press conference coming up pretty soon after the PMA 2007, so we are gonna hold our breath a little bit longer…
Sony Alpha SLR lenses
And if it is not already enough I saw eight new Sony lenses being showcased next to the two new Sony Alpha digital SLR cameras. The eight new lenses seems to vary from amateur to the more professional zoom and prime lenses. The lenses missed any information or specifications so it was hard to predict any focal length or brightness of the lenses. It seems Sony finally understand that the audience is expecting more than just one model and decided to start up the fire during this PMA 2007 event. Will be continued as soon as there becomes more information available!

Elections to the European Parliament are taking place in Dartford and Gravesham this month.
Voters will return 10 members for the South East region to the assembly in Strasbourg.
High profile candidates include UKIP leader Nigel Farage and journalist Daniel Hannan, who is standing for the Conservatives.
The ballot on May 22 will take place the same day as a by-election for a seat on Gravesham Council in Coldharbour ward.
This is because Councillor Rosemary Leadley stepped down last month, citing family and work commitments.
A full list of candidates and polling stations for each borough is available at dartford.gov.uk and gravesham.gov.uk If you are not already registered to vote it is too late to do so, unless you want someone else to vote for you.
In that case your application must reach the Dartford or Gravesham returning officers by 5pm next Wednesday (May 14).
- As it happened: all the action from Anthony Joshua's world title fight at The O2
- EU referendum results and reactions for SE London and north Kent - how did your borough vote?

When my son Jack and I passed a restaurant on St. Elmo Avenue, I remembered that I had been there before, but it had a different name. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to go where I have already been, but Jack said it would be okay and insisted that we try it because he heard this new place sold out of their blackened trout faster than they swim in!
Aside from a little 'Déjà vu' when we sat down outside, everything else was different. 1885 Grill is located at 3914 St Elmo Ave. where Blacksmith's Bistro used to be.
When I went to the bathroom, there was no hanger for my pocket book and I don't like putting it down on the floor (maybe that will be on their list as the next item to remodel).
By the time I came back to the table, Jack had ordered an appetizer "Pimento Cheese and Okra" for $7. A sandwich spread and a vegetable? What kind of concoction was that?! Jack said it was 'recommended by our server' and a very popular dish that he wanted to try. Of course he did – anything smothered in cheese is considered gourmet for Jack. Why, he'd probably like cheese-flavored bananas!
Since I started this little hobby though, I have gotten fairly brave in trying strange things. We both ordered the Blackened Trout for 17.90 so at least we would have a conventional meal. Jack ordered a baked potato for his side and, you guessed it – mac and cheese. I ordered sautéed vegetables and hush puppies to go with mine.
When the appetizer arrived, I have to admit the way they cooked the okra made it look very appe-TIZING. It was whole okra and the batter was crispy. I wasn't fond of their pimento cheese or the combination with the pita bread or okra. I tried it together and tried it alone, but I did like the okra! It was very good. I think it would have been a better dish if they had put more okra on the plate and less pimento cheese and bread.
After I had tried two bites, Jack ate the rest. He said, "Mom, you always told me not to waste food and to finish everything on my plate."
He finally listens to his mother when he is a ham sandwich away from 300 pounds (he tells me it is all 'height', but I think it's all cheese).
When the trout arrived, it was 'closed up' and you could see the scales. Jack knew what to do and opened his filet with the skin side down – then it looked pretty tasty! It was seasoned perfectly and a nice size. My 'sautéed veggies' were just a couple of broccoli trees. I expected a medley of something, but it was just broccoli. Why didn't they just say the vegetable of the day was broccoli?
To my surprise, the hush puppies had a kick! That complimented the trout very nicely. Jack tried one and said he thought it had jalapeño and he didn't like it. I sure did. We both really enjoyed our meal and we liked the place.
I noticed how busy it was. I think they will do well – especially with their Trout. It was very good. I also noticed people at other tables had ordered the pimento cheese and okra dish too.

When Manny Ramirez agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal with the Rays, it offered a few reminders.
First was that of the demise of Ramirez, who, in case you didn't know, hit one fastball for a home run in 2010. He also didn't manage to pull a single base-hit on a heater through the season's final two months -- admittedly, a period during which he says he was playing with a sports hernia that required offseason surgery.
Second? The devaluing of the designated hitter position.
The notion that teams simply didn't want to invest in the position had been widespread, with David Ortiz' $12.5 million deal for '11 serving as the perceived aberration. And when you had names such as Ramirez, Hideki Matsui ($4.25 million) and Jim Thome ($3 million) settling for bargain-basement deals -- with Vladimir Guerrero still waiting for a deal -- it did nothing to dispel the notion.
But is it the reality? It's something Ortiz, who will be eligible for free agency following the '11 season, will be waiting to find out.
When looking at this coming season's crop of designated hitters, a few jump out who suggest the salaries will take a dip. Michael Young ($16 million), Travis Hafner ($13 million), Milton Bradley ($12 million), and Jorge Posada ($13.1 million) are all products of long-term deals that have left teams with a hefty price tag at the position.
Then there was the fact that three of the top six designated hitters in terms of OPS in '10 (Vladimir Guerrero, Matsui, Johnny Damon) hit the free agent market, with none likely to come away with upwards of the $5.5 million, one-year deal scored by Guerrero in last year's free agent market.
The thought is that teams, more than ever, will start using the DH as a spot to rest older or injured players, while not taking a valuable bat out of the lineup. Of the 14 starting designated hitters heading into '11, there are six (Ortiz, Adam Dunn, Jim Thome, Ramirez, Hafner, Matsui) who project to play almost exclusively in the DH spot.
So, just how different has the approach changed -- both on and off the field -- since, say, '07? Not as much as you might think.
Let's start with the finances …
As of now, the starting designated hitters are committed to make an average of $9.15 million for '11 ($128.1 million total). In 2007, the average for a starting DH was $9.3 million ($130.5 million total). And it should be noted that Jason Giambi's $23.4 million salary in '07 severely altered the average.
While the free agents hitting the market as designated hitters would have seemed to come across hard times of late, there is a case to be made that little has changed. If you can hit, you are still going to be paid. Case in point: Dunn.
The situation of Dunn, who inked a four-year, $56 million with the White Sox to be their full-time designated hitter, compares favorably to Hafner's scenario. Back in '07, the Indians' DH was the same age as Dunn (30) when he agreed to a four-year $57 million extension.
And Dunn wasn't alone in getting the money to DH this offseason. While Victor Martinez and Billy Butler both have the ability to play other positions, the likelihood is by the time they reach the end of their new deals they will have had gotten more at-bats as a DH than any other position.
Then there are the on-the-field elements.
Like in '07, last season saw just one other American League position (first base) total more home runs than the DH spot. There were 308 home runs from designated hitters in '10, as opposed to the 325 four seasons prior.
In '07, six players hit 19 or more home runs while serving as a DH. In '10 the total was five.
(The homers, however, might have been somewhat deceiving. The designated hitters from last season managed just a .758 OPS, the lowest since '92. That said, offense around the majors as measured by runs scored was at its lowest level since ... '92.)
As for playing time, there hasn't been much change in consistency for designated hitters. Since 2000, there have been just five instances of a player serving as a DH 140 times or more, with Ortiz topping the list at 148 games in '05. As a comparison, every position but catcher has had at least a few players reach 161 games in a single season over the last decade, except DH.
Thanks to interleague play, the days of planning on 162 games of a designated hitter ended long ago.
(It's a dynamic that certainly doesn't do anything for the financial leverage of those designated hitters limited to the one position.)
The lesson: Age and production, not position, is what is making and breaking these DH's earning power.
What does it mean for Ortiz? If he puts up numbers similar to what he's done the past few years, it will be age (36 at the start of '12), not production, that will be his biggest obstacle. But considering none of the recent full-time designated hitters have hit the open market riding a 30-something-home run season, there should be more hope for the Sox' slugger than Guerrero, Matsui, or Ramirez took into the offseason.
The guess is that Ortiz -- if remaining the hitter of recent years -- will land at somewhere around $8-9 million a season, with the potential of a multi-year deal. Teams that could be in the market for some sort of DH after '11 will be: Oakland, the Yankees, Seattle, Tampa Bay and, of course, the Red Sox.
While Ortiz in Yankee Stadium would offer a hefty amount of intrigue on multiple levels, the likelihood is that whether Posada re-signs or not, the Yanks will want some flexibility at the DH spot with Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter becoming less spry with each passing day.
It will be a player, and position, to keep an eye on.
Here are some of those who figure to be Ortiz' designated-hitting counterparts for the coming season (and what they are owed for '11):
Texas: Michael Young ($16 million)
Angels: Bobby Abreu ($9 million)
Oakland: Hideki Matsui ($4.25 million)
Toronto: Adam Lind ($5 million)
Cleveland: Travis Hafner ($13 million)
Seattle: Milton Bradley ($12 million)/Jack Cust
Baltimore: Luke Scott (approximately $6 million/waiting on arbitration)
Tampa Bay: Manny Ramirez ($2 million)
Kansas City: Billy Butler ($3 million)
Detroit: Victor Martinez ($12 million)
Minnesota: Jim Thome ($3 million)/Jason Kubel ($5.25 million)
White Sox: Adam Dunn ($12 million)
Yankees: Jorge Posada ($13.1 million)

The Genuis Way These 5 Lofts Use Space & Color
Previously seen in "7 Clever Loft Spaces for Small Places," take a look at how these five homeowners have comfortably converted compact spaces into capacious dwellings.
The dining room features a custom mobile table made by Gilles van der Brempt, and an assortment of Ikea Urban and Hee Welling dining chairs.
Kansas native Jamil Malone appreciates the subtle details in his quaint loft, including the exposed brick and hardwood floors. He extended his bed with a cushioned bench that can be moved around thr room — or into the living room — for extra seating.
The open floor plan and high ceilings make this relatively small loft feel like an airy and spacious structure. The stacked bike rack and apartment-sized couch make the room feel scaled.
Melissa and Keith Bishop successfully simplified their 720-square-foot loft space.
California homeowners Lynda and Peter Benoit designed a functional wooden structure to store books, keepsakes, and clothes.

Beckett and Bay's Boston Futures
|11.03.09 at 7:07 pm ET
On a night when Josh Beckett was honored at the Champions for Children's event in recognition of his foundation's contributions to Children's Hospital Boston, both Beckett and Red Sox GM Theo Epstein spoke briefly about the pitcher's future in Boston, as well as that of free-agent outfielder Jason Bay.
Beckett's $12.1 million option for 2010 vested when he made 28 starts this year. After the season, barring an extension with the Sox, Beckett — at age 30 — would reach free agency for the first time in his career.
The prospect does not seem to weigh on the pitcher.
"Right now, I'm not too concerned with it. I'm just kind of enjoying the first part of my offseason," Beckett said. "We'll see what happens. It's kind of up to them what we talk about now. As of now, I'm a Boston Red Sox in 2010. Unless somebody tells me I'm not, that's what I'm focused on."
"We have to let the business people take care of the business," added Beckett. "This would be a fun place to play."
Beckett did tell Rob Bradford of WEEI.com that he and his agent are planning on meeting with Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein in the coming weeks.
Epstein suggested that the club did not want to disclose details of negotiations with one of its own players. Even so, he made clear that the Sox would welcome the possibility of keeping the pitcher beyond his current contract.
"It's been really fun for us to watch him mature on and off the field during his time in Boston," Epstein said. "He's put himself in a position to be valued very highly by us. He's someone we'd obviously like have to be a part of our future. Those things have a way of taking care of themselves. … We'll see what happens."
Both also weighed in on free-agent outfielder Jason Bay.
"I think he's very important," said Beckett. "I hope they do something with him. … He is very important to our team."
"The fundamentals are in place," said Epstein, repeating his prior statements on the matter. "He really wants to be here and we'd love to have them, but sometimes players need to go through the process (of free agency)."
Epstein said the team will wait until the last possible date to make any decisions with pkayer options, but he did say that "all the reports are positive" in Tim Wakefield's recovery from surgery.

The Obama gaffe machine rolls on
Scroll down for updates…
(Make your own Logobama!)
The gaffes just keep on coming. Via Jim Hoft and Power Line comes the latest in a long line of Obama-isms which, as I noted last week, will get a pass from the MSM:
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Here's the vid:
No wonder his supporters attribute Messiah-like powers to their candidate. He sees dead people.
New campaign theme song for Obama, via Britney Spears:
Update: And again!
In one of his more egregious and easily demonstrated lies, made even more so by the day he decided to let it loose on, Obama has rewritten WWII history such that the allies liberated Auschwitz.
…Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz…
Auschwitz of course is in Poland. It was liberated by the Red Army on Jan 27 1945. Poland, on most maps is usually placed to the east of Germany, although we may need to investigate the geography textbooks the Messiah used as a child…
More from See-Dubya: "I think the Obamessiah just out Tuzla'd Hillary. The man is…nefarious."
On Saturday: How's it going, Sunshine?
Update: The video and all the latest twists and turns in the Auschwitz gaffe from Allah, who concludes: "Sloppy, but not nefarious a la Tuzla."

London, UK - 4th December 2012 - MYCOM, the leading independent provider of carrier-grade Network and Services Performance solutions, today announced that its NIMS-PrOptima™ Network Performance Management and Service Assurance platform has been selected by the E-Plus Group to manage the end-to-end performance of its entire network.

"MYCOM provided us what we were looking for," said Gerhard Lüdtke, Director Access Network, E-Plus, "which was a commercial-off-the-shelf system that incorporated industry best practice functionality and out-of-the box support for multiple technologies."

"This latest customer win proves that MYCOM combines the technology platform and Tier 1 telecom operator references to deliver a carrier-grade network performance management solution against demanding operator requirements," commented Payam Taaghol, VP Sales, Software Products and Platforms, MYCOM. "In addition, the delivery of NIMS-PrOptima via a Managed Services partner within stringent SLA requirements demonstrates the strengths of the platform as a key enabler for Managed Services.

He's mad. At least, that's what his accountant says, but Owen Henderson is a desperate man and that means even madness looks like a good option.
Henderson owns The Meat Company in Matamata, a retail butchery struggling to compete with supermarkets "smashing specials to destroy each other weekly." The internet adds another layer of competition. So the Matamata butcher has come up with a survival strategy: he plans to keep the retail side of his business afloat by selling at wholesale prices.
Henderson didn't make the decision lightly. He has been in the industry 41 years, and has tried his hand at several retail models.
After getting his first job at a butchers in Waharoa at 15, he worked his way up the ladder to ownership over 28 years.
The shop was called Waikato Meat Supplies, and when the meat factory in Waharoa closed up Henderson moved his business to Matamata.
That was when he decided to give franchising a go, selling under the Export Meat Warehouse brand until the bills for belonging to the franchise piled up higher than the money coming in.
"The returns that we were getting weren't anywhere near the fees we were paying. They went up annually, so we got out," Henderson says.
"To give you an idea, back then which is six year ago, it was $300 a week, plus all advertising payment on top of that including television. So it was more than another payment of rent on top [of your fees]."
That is why the The Meat Company co-operative formed three years ago. A group of ex-franchisee owners got together to see if they could get the same group discount deals the franchise offered, while continuing to operate as individual stores.
"In doing that we found that most individuals, stand-alone guys, get the same deals anyway," Henderson says.
"It's just a world of competition."
Now, that world of competition is driving him to try one last strategy to keep the retail side of the business afloat.
While people could save themselves up to 40 per cent by buying half a lamb to last them six months, few are willing or able to pay the steep price tag upfront at a retail butcher's.
As he says, "The only thing that counts now is the buck. Loyalty is non existent. People are specials shoppers."
That got Henderson thinking. Why not keep the wholesale price, but break it down into smaller packages for people?
He estimates it will save his customers 33 per cent on their meat bill. At the moment you could walk into The Meat Company and buy a mixed 12.5 kg pack of prime beef, pork and lamb for $150. All meat and all cuts sell for $11.95 a kg as of the start of the month.
"One of the reactions was 'what's wrong with the meat? Why is it so cheap?' says Henderson. "That really bugged me." That's because the strategy will cost Henderson in margins. Hence his accountant's reaction. "He said to me, 'mate, you gotta watch your margins,' and I said 'well, at the moment there's not a lot of margins to watch.'
"If the volume of sales are there the margin is still reasonable," he says, before rephrasing; "survivable, survivable I'd say."
With rent in the retail shop to pay, plus wages and power among other things, Henderson has had to make some changes to give the new strategy the best shot at working.
He had one staff member leave to go farming recently, and won't replace him unless sales pick up.
He's also buying differently. Lamb and pork have to be bought wholesale, but buying a bigger carcass saves a bit. Beef, on the other hand, is still available from local suppliers, and by leaving his wholesaler Henderson has saved a "margin of about 10 to 12 per cent." He is also breaking bone in the meat himself. As he says; "it's a bit labour intensive, but I'm also saving."
If it doesn't work Henderson will just focus on wholesale side of his business. He has several contracts with smaller cafes, and says Hobbiton, Totara Springs Christian Camp and Two Tones Catering have been his "lifeblood."
But Henderson says retail butcher stores don't need to be confined to the history books yet.
"I don't think it needs to be [dying], I don't need to be yet," he says.
