This is it! The fake football playoffs have finally arrived! After all the rankings, waiver claims, and trade debate, it's finally time to strap on the big boy pants and get ready for battle. Below are the best tool the fantasy world has to offer: The Fake Football Staff Rankings. Dig in, and as always, feel free to leave those crucial lineup questions in the comments. Good luck!
PPR, Maclin, Anquan, Josh Gordon: pick 2.
Hey guys,
Do i start Givens over B. Wells this week?
PPR league: start 3 RB out of D Martin, B Brown, CJ Spiller, & A Morris. Start 1 at WR: D Alexander, C Givens, J Blackmon. Thanks for the help!
V close but who to start between Steelers, Browns or Jets D.
Vick Ballard or Antonio Brown, PPR? Thanks.
Antonio Brown, DX or Givens? 0.5 PPR
Britt or Alex Green flex? Feel like Britt can explode this game and Alex Green will get a heavy workload but still has not impressed.
Also can't pick a K. Bailey or Gould? Seems like weather in CIncy will be ugly whereas Gould is in a dome. Thanks!
Martellus or Olsen? Nicks (given that he may be a GTD) or Britt?
Which guy would u sit? Vincent Jax, Dez Bryant, Roddy White, Arian Foster, Cj2k, or Bryce Brown? Thanks
Riddled w/injuries….my flex options are: Hartline, M. Thomas, K. Wright, D. Pitta…pick one please.
PPR Flex Mike Williams vs weak Eagles Def., Sproles or Antonio Brown?
If you also have Matt Stafford at QB, would you start Stevan Ridley (NE vs HOU) or would you sacrifice up side and try to hedge with Mikel Leshoure (DET at GB)?
if Amendola plays, do I proceed with Givens still? 1ppr
Bnched Texans D, and picked up Clev. D for this week. Cincy D is avail. Pick them up and drop a D for depth? thanx
Pls rank the top 2 RBs from the following for ROS:
D. Wilson, R. Turbin, E. Royster, B. Pierce, S. Vereen, R. Hillman
In PPR need a flex out of Mikel Leshoure, Denario Alexander or Josh Gordon. In my other league same problem need a flex out of Fred Jackson, Denario Alexander, Josh Gordon or Jeremy Maclin
Who should I start in a .5 for ppr. Dwyer, Owens, J. Rodgers, or A. Green. Right now I am starting the Jets defense, if you pick owens would you recomend taking the Jags defense instead?
I need to start a WR2 between Stevie Johnson, Chris Givens and James Jones. Considering the possible weather conditions for the buffalo game and Jordy Nelson's injury, who do you like? Also, I am playing against A Rodgers, if that factors into your decision.
12 Team PPR: I put a waiver in for Reece & dropping JStew. Do you think it's really worth it? My RB2 situation is below par. JStew, Beanie, Alex Green. I have a bye this week, but will have to start 1 of them next week. Also, last on waivers so it's probably doubtful I will be able to claim Reece. Do you think it's worth it to put a waiver on any of these options & who would you drop between the RBs I have. Woodie, Tate, Ingram, Hillis, D Rich, Ivory……I'm thinking about rolling with Green unless there is a major RB injury this weekend. Even then I doubt I will be able to claim them, being in 1st place!
Also, I am playing against A. Rodgers if that factors into you decision.
I need to start a WR2 between Stevie Johnson, Chris Givens and James Jones. Considering the possible weather conditions for the buffalo game and Jordy Nelson's injury, who do you like?
Is Larry Fitz droppable for depth? drop him for F Jax, Russell Wilson, or Quizz?
deangelo williams or larry fitz at my flex?
would you rather have Torrey Smith or Garcon ROS?
u missed me – matt ryan or andrew luck?
Having hard time deciding on PPR WR from DX (worried about the Steelers pass D) Antonio Brown w/Ben back starting OR gamble w/Mike Williams against the Eagles? Also have Blackmon but not thrilled about him being shadowed by Cromartie? Appreciate ur advice ..Thanx
Alex green, dmc, Matthews, Ballard. Pick two. Thanks.
Standard Flex pick one McFadden, Maclin or Avery
PPR Flex: AGates, DHB, RCooper, ESanders? Need 1
Matt Ryan or Andrew Luck
Reggie bush against 49ers d or moreno tonight against oak?
Flex Standard: Quiz, Ryan Matthews, Avery, or Wright?
Moreno over Ridley, Leshoure, Sproles in non ppr? And Moreno over gore, Morris, Murray in a .5ppr?
Need two: DX, Givens, or Nicks?
standard league – I have 1 WR spot and 1 Flex to fill out of these 4 – Josh Gordon, stevie johnson, mcfadden, montel owens. Who would you put in??
Need your advice Dynasty deep league PPR WR need 2 ESanders, RCooper, DHB or GLittle?
Dmac, Alex Green, or Ridley in a PPR?
Got some problems at WR/FLEX—- full PPR/Bonus league
current lineup
QB- Brady
WR- Smiff
WR – Fitz (such a shame)
RB – Charles
RB -Morris
TE – Rudolph
Flex (R/W/T) Alex Green
Bench – Amendola,Britt, H.Miller, J-Stew, Reece
I really dont know what to do with Fitz ive been playing him all year and I really want to bench him but a piece of me will die if i bench him and he somehow some way puts up a 20 spot…would you play either briit or amendola(if playing) over fitz? which then leads me to the flex if amendola is playing im leaning towards throwing him in there but if he is not whos the better flex play green, briit or heeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaathhhhhhh
12 Team PPR: I'm having RB2 issues, JStew is pretty much done, Beanie isn't doing much, I picked up Alex Green. Someone dropped Reece, do you think it's worth it to pick up Reece? Who should I drop: JStew or Green?
Standard league : Cobb, maclin, Antonio brown, Alexander, decker. Gotta pick 3
PPR league: spiller, sproles, bge, forte gotta pick 2
On another note, would you rather start Bilal Powell, Woodie, D Rich, Ingram, Pierce or Ivory as a RB2?
I hear ya, but he has already banned me from the league so I can't even log into it! I was planning on dumping my players & what not but I couldn't even do that! He won't respond to my e-mails anymore & won't budge about paying me what he owes me. It's bullshit but at least I have a 1st round bye in my other 2 leagues! I just REALLY want to play him 1 more time!
Any advice!?!? I just want to finish the season (& beat the commish) but the shady, cheating commish won't let me. I think it's a lost cause at this point, but he owes me $ from weekly most points award that he is refusing to pay me. I think he forgot this is just a game!
I own DMC. My other possible starts at what now might be considered my RB2 spot are: F-Jax, Beanie, Moreno, Mendy. Do I give DMC a shot and start him tonight? Non-ppr for whatever that's worth.
Luck or Romo?
DX or Chris Givens?
Cobb, maclin, Antonio brown, Alexander, decker. Gotta pick three
PPR league spiller, sproles, bge, forte gotta pick 2
Std scoring: Gates, Tamme (if stokley sits), or Marcedes Lewis? Celek and Clark are on the wire too.
Maclin l, Gordon, Givens, A Brown. Pick 2. Thanks!
Leshoure or Moreno at Flex spot this week? Standard scoring with 5 points bonus for 100 yds.
Gentlemen. Here is the lineup I'm planning on rolling with Week 14–first round of playoffs, and my bench. Standard scoring. Any thing you'd do differently? Any compelling reason to un-bench R.Mathews and start him @ Flex over Hilton? Thanks.
WR- Vjax
WR -G. Jennings
RB – B.Brown
TE – Miller
FLEX- Hilton
K- Hanson
D/ST- Jets
Forbath vs. Ravens or Zuerlein vs. Bills?
Hey Jeff….need help with a few positions. Need 2 RBs, 1 WR, and 1 FLEX out of the following: Julio, Wayne, Ridley, Gore, Leshoure, SJax. Thanks!
Which turd should I start at RB2 in a PPR league: Dwyer, Mathews, McFadden. Dissension among the ranks of the Fake Football staff on these three. Does PPR change your assessment?
Sit one (PPR plus return yards 1pt per 10):
Cruz, Julio, Wayne, Cobb
Pick 3:
Garcon, Colston, Dez, Danario Alexander…
1ppr, 3 – 100yds, need 3:
thinking of rolling with the *s. tough to sit Stevie but it seems like he's not a red zone target at all with Chandler there
Have to choose two of these guys:
Torrey Smith
Steve Smith
Pierre Garcon
I'm having trouble picking 3: Martin, BGE, Murray, Bryce, McFadden
Knowshon vs OAK or Roddy vs CAR, in a PPR?
For my flex (non-PPR), Blackmon, Britt, Fitzgerald or Pettigrew?
Struggling with injuries I need 1 WR and 1 flex between d. Moore, golden Tate, Lloyd, quizz, m. Owens and Pierre Thomas, thanks
Need 2(ppr)
TE- Randolph or Olsen(same league,ppr)
Pick 2 RB's to start in PPR- Richardson, Forte, Ridley, Morris.

P.S….Damn u Percy Harvin for being placed on IR.
10 Team No PPR: Need 1 WR and 1 Flex from:
Cobb, DX
McFadden, Matthews, R. Bush
12 Team PPR: Start Alex Green over Beanie as RB2? Brees is my QB but would you start Rudolph over Graham? Flex: Garcon, DX, or James Jones? My 2 starting WRs are Dez & Cruz.

JWC TO THOMAS CARLYLE; 17 July 1837; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18370717-JWC-TC-01; CL 9:246-252.
[17 July 1837.]
Mio caro e buono Marito [My dear and good Husband],
The writing-every-day plan is a nonsense—it is liking [sic] mixing the whole penny-worth of milk with the coffee instead of taking only the cream—impairing the clearness and flavour of the liquor, for sake of 'whiteness'—an error which (in the case of the coffee), we have discovered and discarded, as you may perhaps remember; even amid your present affluence of cream, which might make a less reflective man than yourself forget that he is come out of scarcity and into scarcity must return.
Tout va bien [All goes well], here; the wind mostly in the east.— If you ran away from heat, I can only say, the heat has surely followed you—for we have none overmuch to complain of—I have on all my flannels still; and the temperature has even helped me out of the dilemma I was in when you left; whether or no I should make any pretension to mourn.1 I was going to have made a questionable sort of figure in the general blackness, when the thermometer fell to the level of black velvet, and I 'trat hervor glorreich' [came forward in splendor], as black as a crow from head to foot, without the least outlay in the world! Once or twice only I have found it more suitable to put on white but my black crucifix and a charming little black silk mantilla edged with lace, (which my Mother with her usual wisdom gave four pounds for (as much as would have bought a new carpet)) saves my loyalty, or rather I should say my gigmanity, from reproach—for devil a morsel of the sentiment of loyalty were discoverable, I believe, if one were to ransac[k] all the bombazeen and crape which makes the noble City at this moment look like a City 'gone to the undertaker.' Among ill bred people the talk about 'the young queen,' is sufficiently tiresome. The only criticism I put the least faith in is John Fergus,2—he says her expression is extremely unprepossessing, petulant and unamiable, and it will be well if she do not go all into confusion. To be sure she will! what else can a 'young queen' do? By the way John Sterling came to me one day, in a perfect ecstasy at an article which the Chronicle (I think) had on you, containing this rather remarkable deliverance—"Whence we have great pleasure in infer[r]ing ourselves fully Authorised, to claim Mr Thomas Carlyle as a staunch supporter of church and state"!!!3 After this one may expect to see you claimed as a staunch supporter of animal magnetism, phrenology, witchcraft even; or any thing that mankind in the rudest age has been known to support.
I see none of all these criticisms—tant mieux [so much the better] perhaps. I expect we shall have Sartor running the round of the journals presently: for Harriet Martineau has absolutely set up a thriving trade on that sole singular item! She has imported what Mr. Darwin calls a houseful of copies, which she is selling off at fifty per cent! the profits (I understand) being considered as pertaining to you. One copy I have received from her in gift! and not designing to part with it I have applied for another, on purchase, thinking you will be pleased to give one to Mr Wilson.4 My own which was lent to Cavaignac, I never expect to see more of. he left it at some house from which (so far as I could make any sense of his grumbling) he had since withdrawn himself, and, "there is no POSSIBILITY of getting it now." I never saw a man lose other people's books with such a sublime coolness. He will reply to your message himself; is to give me a letter for you next week. He came a day or two after your departure and was going to have flared up amazingly at your going off without writing or coming when my explanation fell like oil upon his wrath—he was here again yesterday and I showed him the line in your letter whereupon he grumbled unintelligibilities and finished off with the proposal to write—Madame ma Mere5—was here too, one day last week! actually had screwed up her energies to the pitch of paying a visit to the Fergu[s]es and myself! the Ferguses! what do the Ferguses know about her! Why the Ferguses you know are once for all Angelica pasta [stuff of angels]—and wherever there is to be found an unhappy man, an unhappy woman or an unhappy child—there they consider themselves at their posts, ready alike with purse and pocket-handkerchief. One day that Elizabeth took me an airing she asked if there was anyone I wished to call on—I told her yes—Madame Cavaignac—and then entered a little into the history of her misfortunes—nothing more was necessary to make Elizabeth the devoted of Madame— She went in with me—we made a sort of Sabine rape of her, carried her up and down in carrozza [in a carriage] showed her the National Gallery—overwhelmed her with our gentilezza [kindness]. And repeatedly since has the Angelica Elizabeth gone alone or with sisters6 and subjected the bewildered Madame to the same process of being amused! All which attention has so far gained on her, that she finds Elizabeth (C tells me) "a good enough woman; not entirely destitute of sense"— Surely 'Ma Mere' and you have learned to praise in the same school!
I have been very quiet all last week, to get rid of the snifters I caught in the Sterling's carriage—(which is gone back to the coachmaker's, on my representation that it blew a hurricane in it in the calmest weather)[.] My care however seemed to be doing no good so last Wednesday night I indulged in a concert (as I could get it) and there I suppose the cold was fairly stewed out of me—for next morning I awoke quite free of it. This Concert was a very fine affair indeed—combining more superexcellent musical performance than was ever perhaps brought together on any stage.7 But to begin at the beginning, Pepoli lost his law suit with Laporte, and finds himself involved in enormous spese [costs].8 Che à fare [What to do]? All the Artistes of the opera exclaim with one voice let us sing for thee! Grisi9 becomes exalté [enthusiastic], makes propositions the most generous—The 'famiglia Rubini [Rubini family]10 comes with tears in its eyes' and says, our voices—nay our purses are thine! in short the enthusiasm of these people! Pepoli turns up his eyes to heaven, 'thanking Iddio [God] for having created amicizia [friendship] to comfort the unfortunate,' and issues biglietti [tickets] inviting all the world to his 'Grand evening'—inviting you will observe (for it is merely suggested en passant that those who vogliono [wish] may pay a guinea)—on the gratis biglietto [free ticket] which came to me was 845—and it was expressly desired that an answer might be sent to 65 Quadrant!—there was 845 threepennies to begin with! then libretti [little books] were printed, containing all the verse 'exclusively Carlo Pepoli's to be sung in the course of the evening, and each person who entered was to be regaled with a copy! there was another most superfluous spesa [expense]! Then four different sets of biglietti [tickets] and programs had to be issued, on account of mistakes and mis-shanters [mishaps]— and so on—from one piece of mismanagement and false delicacy to another—until the issue has been—that he has found himself in the end giving a most splendid and costly musical soiree without having any of the credit, a man usual[ly] gets by such acts of Munificence. The ten guineas worth of tickets taken by the Ferguses and the other friendly contributions he received will scarce cover the lighting of the great Opera Concertroom! To me he presented twelve guineas worth of tickets! Two were used by my mother and myself—and two I was happy to have an opportunity of regaling the Wilsons with—the other eight which I received very late, had to be distributed more by 'the inexorable law of Locality'—and my limited recollection of people's numbers than any other consideration. I sent two to the Somervilles two to the Rennies—two to the Cavaignacs one to little Grant (in acknowledgement of a second cargo of tea) and one to Mr Darwin. And I had the satisfaction of seeing most of the people availed themselves of my attention— The Wilsons were sitting prim and neat as if they had come in a couple of bandboxes—Dr Somerville11 lugged in one of his tallow girls12—&c but it was a most deplorably gratis looking house on the whole. Elizabeth sent her coach for us and she and we took up Mr Darwin and a Mr. Hopner13—once British Consul at Venice and made much of by Lord Byron—a grave sensible man, leaning to the Angelica pasta sort of thing— I had dined with him at the Ferguses one day before— Pasta14 my chief inducement, fully realized all my anticipations— Grisi, Albertazzi15 are nothing to her— She exceeds all that I ever heard or dreamt of in the shape of a singer, and poor as I am I would give half a guinea that you heard her and saw her also.
The professors Rossetti16 and Pepoli came on the Stage together and delivered something meant to pass on us, I suppose, for improvisation but it was very well got up poetry.— Pepoli was more put about than you were—no wonder—for besides the horror of the exhibition he had a fear all the while that he was compromising his famiglia [family;] he was more pale than this paper, put his hand repeatedly to his head and remained some moments speechless. When he spoke it was a low melodious wail (as of a fallen peri) gradually swelling into a strain of sublimest sadness. My Mother and Elizabeth wept—I tore my program into a hundred pieces, Mr Hopner cleared his throat and Mr Darwin said with provoking quietness "poor dear Pepoli"! Cavaignac said yesterday that it gave him mal du coeur [heart-ache], and he had a cruel feeling that the republican qualité was getting itself a little offensé [injured] in Monsieur Pepoli[.] Rossetti is a charming old man—and the words came from him "like the notes of a nightingale touching and strong."17 You must try to know him when you return. The old fool Pestrucci18 nobody I suppose staid to listen to— What doses of Italianism you do get from me—speaking of doses— Is it not passing strange that not once since you left have I had occasion to swallow a pill?—not that I imagine any more connexion between your journey to Scotland and my leaving off pills, than between Tenterden steeple and Godwin sands19—but the coincidence is curious! I beg of you, in my name to sacrifice a cock to Æsculapius,20 to propitiate the continuation of such exemption from physic for me! What a thousand important things I must be omitting to tell you! I might say much of John Sterling who came to me very often, with all his affectionatenesses and confidences after the old fashion, only I think still more affectionate and more confiding— He showed me many tales and verses, and adopted all my suggestions about them—even to the cutting off of some twenty couplets from a beautiful poem called Joan of Arc—21 Pity that my own husband were not alike complying! He is full as ever of fantasticalities; happening one morning to glance up at the Library mantle-piece he exclaimed in great glee—"I have it now! I never could understand till this moment, why Carlyle in that book of his calls Napoleon always "the bronze man"22!— But he got your address and was to write you at great length from Clifton. The Stimable is all agog about an article to be written in The Times on your book, by a person (Thackeray I opine)23 quite qualified to do you justice—the bringing of which person's abilities to bear upon your abilities the Stimabile considers an amazing stroke of friendship—a "doing something to serve two meritorious men at once." but you he thinks the most meritorious of the two, for if he were "by any chance to get into favour with a government, the only thing he would ask should be do something for Carlyle"!! Let us however not build too much on this—it may only be said as a lure for me. However that may be, if Mrs Sterling goes out of town for a week or two she is bent on having me with her. The Isle of Wight is now given up for Malvern—a watering place near Worcester—where the Wilsons also are going for a month or six weeks—"It's all one to Dandy!"24 I sent a guide to Rome,25 but had no time to read it. I also called at Fraser's and gave the necessary directions about Tom Holcroft's book.26
The repairs are still going on next door but their workpeople do not start till six in the morning which is bearable—I rise pretty generally at seven and always find things in readiness Ellen27 being rarely in bed after five. I have coffee in Johns little pot—my Mother preferring tea—and the water is always frittered [boiled] in abundance. She is a sweet girl Ellen—does her very best to please—and mislays no lobsters. The wretched Ann went off with a lie—she told me she had come that morning from Kew on foot—and we found after, she had slept all night at the stick-woman's! God help her for her case is beyond the reach of mortal help.
My Mother is still for going in the end of the month—I shall surely get a letter from you soon. Say any thing that is kind from me to your famiglia. If you were a kissing man I would depute you to kiss the children but I know you do not like to kiss anything but me—tanto peggio per voi [so much the worse for you]!
Are you getting well and happy? Pray do, and—and—niente [never mind]—God keep you. Write to me, from the bottom of your ditch. Wish me well and like me while you can—I wish I were worthy of your liking—

The Samurai and the Cowboy
By jimgris-Oracle on Dec 29, 2007
I'm reading a really interesting linguistics book on how the Japanese communicate and think and how their language differs from the English spoken by Americans -- Japanese Communication: Language and Thought in Context. It's very much a Venus and Mars sort of thing since the two cultures and languages are so different. Instead of planets, though, the author uses the cultural myths of the samurai and the cowboy to juxtapose the two. It's a miracle any information survives this barrier. But it's fascinating to peel back the layers to figure out why. More on this when I'm done.

JWC TO HELEN WELSH; 14 November 1846; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18461114-JWC-HW-01; CL 21:91-92.
Saturday [14 November 1846]
Dearest Helen
Just a word today in the midst of infinite tribulation (occasioned chiefly by the shrinking of C's flannel shirts) to say that you are looked for without fail on Friday— I say friday rather than Thursday—as it will be for your own comfort that you should not plump into the last Act of Helen!—it will be a great scene the parting one—tho she is going of her own free option— I wish she were well gone for my share for I hate these "slow agonies"
I hear the newcomer is an immense Beauty!1 who I devoutly pray may not attract the attentions of any of the swell-mob!2— I look to you to support my courage thro' the first week of her—and to aid me in the process of training her if training be found necessary—tho I hardly think Betty, with her early recollections of my household-inability, would have dreamt of sending me any one not up to her work whatever else—
Now dearest Helen just equip yourself for the journey as carefully as you equipped me—and you will get thro it quite pleasantly— Moreover do not for Heaven's sake bring many dress-gowns with you— I hate to see good things tumbled about for no end—and full dress here is not put in requisition once in a twelve-month—what one calls wearing-clothes will be perfectly adequate for all our practical purposes. I do hope you will not feel very dull—people come to London with the idea of its being the centre of all stir and entertainment So it is; I dare say but we are exceptions to every general rule of every place we live in! At all rates you will find a hearty welcome
Kisses to my Uncle and Polly3—
Ever your / Affectionate /
Jane C

On Sunday, Bonfire was found to be lame on Sunday morning after his run in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown. The racehorse notably won the Dante Stakes earlier this year. "He was lame behind on his off-hind this morning. We are going to have to investigate it tomorrow," said trainer Andrew Balding.
Bonfire is currently scheduled to compete for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in October. "We are back to the drawing board a little bit. We will take stock, give him a break, and try to get him sorted out," added Balding.
The mile-and-a-quarter Group 1 race was won by Nathaniel (7-2 betting odds) in a thrilling dash against Farhh (11-4 betting odds). After the race, trainer John Gosden said his team still needs to assess whether Nathaniel will defend his crown in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot later this month.
"Because of the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics there are only two weeks, it's compressed, between the Eclipse and the King George, and that is not ideal when you've had a lay-off and have a tough race like Saturday's," Gosden told At The Races.

Greek Politicians Named In Siemens Bribery Probe
A Greek parliamentary investigation into bribes paid by Siemens AG in the country named 15 ministers from both main political parties as recipients of illicit funds.
But an AFP report on the investigation says the lawmakers can't agree on a common list of suspects, leading to scorn among the local press. Also, only some of those on the list can be prosecuted because of a statute of limitations on ministers, the AFP article says.
Siemens paid EUR1.3 billion ($1.8 billion) in bribes to foreign officials around the world in exchange for business between 2000 and 2006, about EUR100 million of it to officials in Greece.
For its actions, Siemens paid $800 million to settle charges in the U.S., the largest punishment to date for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a law that bans the bribery of foreign officials for business purposes. It also paid another $800 million in fines to German authorities.
Only two Greek officials, former minister Tassos Mantelis and one-time Pasok political strategist Theodoros Tsoukatos have admitted taking Siemens' money, according to the AFP report. The former said it was a personal campaign donation while the latter said he took the payment on behalf of his political party, Pasok, which has denied it. Mantelis was charged with money laundering as part of the Greek investigation.

Did you do an ISO noise test on the GH2?
Interesting since ISO 100 on the G1 will produce the same exposure as ISO 160 on the GH2 if everything is equal.
Rupert Brun wrote:
I did some tests comparing the GH2 with the G1, here.
I took the GH2 back and got a refund - whilst I accept my test was by no means a perfect example of a scientific evaluation, the results were not good. The GH2 somehow manages to have more noise and more softness from noise reduciton than the G1 from about 100 (160) ISO to at least 400. I do accept that the GH2 does better than the G1 at higher ISOs but only a small portion of my pictures are taken above 400 ISO. I since bought a GH1 which seems better than both the G1 and the GH2 but I've not yet had time to do a proper comparison - got the builders in-- hide signature --

Paul Weirich
University of Missouri, USA
Spring Term 2012
Regulation of Risk
Paul Weirich is currently engaged in two projects. One is simplification of choice by separation of considerations, for example, putting aside the past to focus on the future. The other project is construction of a normative model for government regulation of risks, such as risks arising from genetic therapy. The two projects are related because the model for regulation assumes a method of separating risks and other considerations.
While in Pittsburgh, Weirich will enjoy the stimulating atmosphere of the Center and sample the numerous attractions of a big city, especially the fine restaurants he's heard about from other visitors.
Weirich is a Curators' Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of Missouri. He is the author of Equilibrium and Rationality (Cambridge, 1998), Decision Space (Cambridge, 2001), Realistic Decision Theory (Oxford, 2004), and Collective Rationality (Oxford, 2010).

Stretch marks rank right up there with cellulite and varicose veins on many a new mother's list of woes.
The list of so-called remedies is long, too, ranging from coffee grounds to Vicks VapoRub to cocoa butter and others that do little to erase the unsightly striae, as the marks are called by doctors.
"Fifty different treatments is a dead giveaway that there isn't a front-runner that works for everyone," says Linda K. Franks, assistant professor of dermatology at NYU Medical Center in New York and director of Gramercy Park Dermatology.
Doctors haven't figured out the exact mechanism that causes stretch marks, which appear when the skin is pulled quickly, leaving a red scar that tends to fade over time. Whatever is happening, the skin stops producing enough collagen, a protein that is vital for elasticity. A mix of hormones, weight gain and genetic disposition seems to be at play, Dr. Franks says.
She offers some tips on which treatments might be worth trying, and which ones to skip.
Most remedies work by simply moisturizing, which stimulates the skin to make more collagen. This can be achieved with olive or grapeseed oil, or a moisturizer from brands such as Neutrogena or Aveeno, says Dr. Franks. Moisturizing is most helpful before stretch marks appear. More expensive lotions, cocoa butter and shea butter tend to work in the same way, by super-hydrating the skin.
"Anything that is $200 an ounce is not worth throwing on the pregnant abdomen," she says. "A good moisturizer would do."
This prescription-only medicine is best known as a treatment for acne. Using the cream can reverse the scarring of stretch marks, but early intervention is vital. Dr. Franks suggests applying it while the scars are still red. That means as soon as possible after delivery, though it shouldn't be used while the new mom is nursing.
Some laser treatments, such as the vascular lasers also used to treat varicose veins and rosacea, can erase stretch marks that are still red. The heat from the laser creates more collagen and the treatment costs about $600.
Treatments using Fraxel and CO2 lasers can erase the older white scars, says Dr. Franks, by wounding the skin and generating collagen. But these cost closer to $900 for each of several treatments, and they don't tend to be covered by insurance.
Home remedies
Internet searches suggest Vicks VapoRub as a treatment, but Dr. Franks had never heard of it being used. However, menthol-an ingredient in VapoRub-can be used as a lip plumper, suggesting it could temporarily improve the appearance of stretch marks, she says.
There are also some indications that mixing coffee grounds with oil may be effective, says Dr. Franks. Caffeine might be helpful in reducing cellulite, which also involves weakened collagen.
However, she adds, "There's nothing quick. It all takes time to build collagen back up."

10 Surprising Things That Are Aging You
(Click here to goto to website)
Old Makeup
The preservatives in your cosmetics cabinet can break down, and bacteria can build up with each reach of a finger. If your makeup has expired, chances are, it is doing more harm than good to the delicate skin on your face.
If the jar has been sitting around for a while, smell it, suggests Dr. Linda Franks, medical director of Gramercy Park Dermatology. If it smells different or if it changes color, toss it away.
The solution: Assess your makeup on a regular basis.
The anti-aging industry, estimated in the billions, is built on the assumption that we want to look as young as we feel. A legitimate request, but one that also raises a question: Why fight so hard to eliminate wrinkles and fine lines when you can slow them down to begin with?
Aside from the inevitable passing of time and sitting for hours on end under the sun with no protection (Why would you do that to yourself?), there are several things affecting your glowing complexion. Check out this list so you can take appropriate measures to combat them.
Awareness is bliss.

Seven Habits of Those with "Lucky" Skin
Think women with naturally beautiful skin are just lucky? Probably not!
We all know those women—the ones whose skin always looks annoyingly flawless.
They claim they don't do anything special, don't need to bother with foundation or concealer, only see the dermatologist for an annual skin cancer check, and heck, don't even wash their faces in the morning!
We're here to say: yeah, right. There may be a miniscule percentage of women who can genuinely make those claims. But believe us, the rest of these supposedly natural beauties have several skincare secrets they simply choose not to spill. So we're going to reveal them for you!
Habit #1: They never go to bed with their makeup on.
It can be tempting—especially after a late night—to fall into bed without bothering to cleanse your skin. No big real, right? Well, if you routinely skip this important step, it will start to take its toll. "Leaving your makeup on can clog pores, and that means that the oil normally secreted by the pores can get trapped, causing a build up of dead skin cells and eventually breakouts," explains David Bank, M.D., director of The Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery in Mount Kisco, NY. Sleeping in eye makeup can lead to irritation—meaning you could wake up with red, itchy eyes. "And while leaving makeup on your skin overnight won't directly cause wrinkles, it can suck moisture out of your skin, making any lines you have look more prominent by the time the alarm goes off," he says. Save your skin by doing a quick rinse with a gentle facial cleanser that won't strip skin of moisture (like ).
Habit #2: They wouldn't dream of leaving the house without sunscreen.
It's a simple fact: Women who shield their skin from the sun look younger, have fewer wrinkles, and smoother, evenly toned complexions. That's because the sun's ultra-violet rays are the number one culprit for damaging collagen—the support structure of the skin. Bank recommends using a daily moisturizer with SPF 30, which contains potent ingredients such as avobenzone, zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Use it every day—whether the forecast calls for sun or clouds. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, up to 80 percent of UV rays can pass through clouds.
Habit #3: They get their beauty sleep.
There are several good reasons why you don't look your best when you don't get your requisite hours of z's. Nighttime is your skin's time to repair and restore itself after the day's assault. "Your skin accumulates toxic damage all day long," says Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology, Yale University School of Medicine. While you're sleeping, enzymes come in, cut out bits of damaged DNA in the cells and facilitate repair. "If you get enough sleep, your skin cells have a chance to rest and refuel for the next day's battle," she says.
Ideally, you want to log at least eight hours in the sack. "Growth hormone is released during the last stage of sleep," says Alexiades-Armenakas. "So unless you're getting eight to eight and a half hours of sleep a night, you're missing out on that last burst of growth hormone." Growth hormone is thought to play a role in bringing blood supply to the skin surface (which oxygenates the skin) and in improving the overall tone and luster of the skin.
Habit #4: They use RetinA on a regular basis.
"It's a no-brainer," says Linda K. Franks, M.D., director of Gramercy Park Dermatology, NYC. "Everyone over the age of 35 should be using a retinol or retinoid product." RetinA is the stronger, prescription-only version of retinoids; you'll find less-potent retinol in over-the-counter creams. Starting in your thirties, the skin begins to break down more collagen and to produce less. That adds up to an average two percent loss of collagen per year. Less collagen means skin that's more prone to wrinkling, sagging, and uneven skintone. "Using retinol or RetinA helps to stimulate collagen synthesis," says Franks. "Just as important, it helps decrease the activity of the enzymes that are breaking down collagen." A little of this ingredient goes a long way. Apply a very thin layer to skin at night—starting with just two or three nights a week and working up to nightly application as your skin adjusts to it.

Habit #5: They've mastered the secrets of flawless makeup application.
"You need to start with well-hydrated skin," says Jessica Liebeskind, a NYC makeup artist. "Makeup looks dull, flat and heavy when you apply it to dry skin." So before you apply any makeup, use a moisturizer that's right for your skin type. The key to flawless coverage really comes down to selecting the right shades. "If you can see your foundation on your skin, no one will ever be fooled into thinking it's just your naturally gorgeous skin," says Liebeskind. To find the ideal shade of foundation, she recommends trying on several. Choose three that look like they'll be a good match and apply a stripe of each from your jaw line down onto your neck. "Blend each one well into your skin, and the one that disappears completely is the correct shade for you," she says. For your under-eye concealer, she suggests getting one that's a shade lighter than your foundation—the better to lighten up dark circles while still blending seamlessly into your skin.

Habit #6: They don't overdo it.
"The best skincare regimens are all about balanced support," says Franks. That means not doing too much in the pursuit of perfect skin. In fact, more is usuallynot better when it comes to your skin. "Over- cleansing, over-moisturizing or over-medicating the skin upsets the balance," she says. Case in point: You're trying to tame your acne breakouts so you use several products designed to help dry up excess oil. The unfortunate result? You wind up over-drying your skin to the point where your oil glands are forced into overdrive, producing more oil and probably more breakouts.
Habit #7: They have their dermatologist on speed dial.
If the goal is to look naturally flawless, the last thing you want is to look like you've had "work" done. Thankfully, many of the most effective cosmetic treatments out there are non-invasive and require little to no downtime. One quick way to improve skin tone and texture is a treatment called Glycoderm—which is microdermabrasion followed by a glycolic peel. "The combination of the mechanical and chemical exfoliation stimulates collagen and increases water binding to plump up the skin," says Bank. Brown spots and fine lines can be erased with a series of Fraxel treatments—a pinpoint laser that touches just a fraction of the skin at a time, penetrating beneath the surface to eliminate old, damaged skin cells. And for so-called dynamic wrinkles (the ones you get by making expressions like smiling and frowning), Botox is still the gold standard. "The injection helps to relax the muscles so they don't contract and thus form a line on the skin," says Bank.

Psalm 128
Our God is not holy. He is not holy, holy. He is holy, holy, holy. Consider that. God's holiness is something the human mind cannot fathom. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
In this verse, the Holy God promises much to those who fear the Lord. When we fear the Lord we are aware of his awesomeness, his perfection, his holiness, his goodness, his love, his comfort, his presence. We fear to be away from all that is of and in God.
I had a dream once of the Laodicean Church. It was a tiny dreamlet. All I saw was a two-headed mermaid floundering in shallow shoals where hot and cold water met.
It's a small but powerful image. The mermaid represents the Christian -part human, part "fish" (the fish being the symbol Ichtus, which was often used to represent Christians. The hot and cold water imply lukewarmness. The two heads imply being double-minded. The shallow water represents our lack of depth. And the floundering represents our inability to move.
Those who fear the Lord aim to be wholly Christ, wholly, hot, wholly single-minded. But when Christ returns, will He find pure faith on the earth?
1Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

This book was incredible. It's about a woman named Claire who lives in 1945, she is on vacation with her husband Frank when she falls through some sort of wormhole and winds up in 1773. The action and adventure in this novel is amazing. Her descriptions of everything is so immense that it is a little overwhelming at times. But the plot is riveting and it is exciting to hear this is coming to life on the screen. People normally cringe at things that mare made from book to film or television because they are never as good as in my head. Yet, for some reason, that may not be an issue here. There is enough action in the book to carry a series through pretty steadily so there isn't much need to deviate from the plot too much.
Best thing about this book? The whole plot. I mean, every twist and turn.
Worst thing? Sometimes a bit too detailed.
Who should read this novel? If you like acton and adventure mixed with steamy romance and time travel. Dr Who fans might like it. Also people who are into historical romances. Also people who like stories of survival. It's pretty much a one size fits all kind of book!

Music in maps
You'll all probably think this is a very stupid question, but how do I give a map music? I know I have to edit the worldspawn but I don't don't know the correct command to enter. For example I want to put in the song from Artus Topside, called :
I know I type music but how do I tell radiant I want to use this particualar song?
(p.s I have no idea on how to insert custom songs either)
Uhm go into worldspawn and type:
key: music
value: whereyouhaveyourmucis/yoursong.mp3
And now u have music.....
First, find the song that you want to play. They're locatred in the assests0.pk3. Sort by path and they should be located in the "music folder". Then, when you've found the song you wanted, go in jk2radiant and press "N". Go down to worldspawn and type in "music" for the key. For the value, type in the path to your song.
key: music
Value: music/bespin_platform/besplat_explore.mp3
This will play the besplat_explore.mp3 in your level.
To add custom music, create a folder in your "base" folder and name it "music". Then add a folder inside the "music" folder and name it "mylevel" (or anything you want to name it). Next, put the song you want to play inside the "mylevel" folder. Then, in jkradiant, go to the worldspwn and type in "music" for the key and the path to your song for the value.
Key: Music
Value: music/myfolder/yoursong.mp3
Quall thats pretty much what I just said.. :D
darth_mick, you make it seem so easy. I kinda wish you replied earlier, b4 i wrote that lil tutorial.
Uhm adding music IS easy....once u know how (0=
what i meant was that my reply makes it sound complicated. :D
yes it does. and now i will give mine:
select a normal brush. hit n. this brings up the enitity window with worldspawn selected.
for playing the track you selected:
key: music
value: music/artus_topside/impbased_action.mp3
note that for music and models you start typing the path at base folder, instead of doing this:
key: music
value: C:/Games/Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast/GameData/base/music/artus_topside/impbased_action.mp3
Quall your example is kind of wrong. ALWAYS put the underscore in.
On one of the tutorials i've read, it stated that jk2radiant had a glitch and only allows you to seperate folders with a "/" slash, and not a "\" slash. Is this true?
That is only if u try to browse the model....then u'd have to change the slash..
That is not true quall.
what are you talking about mickie?
Well, if u are to import a model...and try to use the browser that opens it wont work, as many knows, owever I have read somewhere that if u change the slash from / to \ (or vice versa) it would work.... Thats what I ment...
umm... i don't think the pop-up window works at all.
Thanks guys, though I only really needed to know the command and the value.
OMF LMAO LOL! sorry abot that I don't ussualy talk in 1337 but I just added a custom song and it played in super fast mode :D
Any idea whys its doing that?
(p.s its the Battle of Nabo space battle music in super fast, you gotta hear it its so stupid :D )
*bump, bump, bumpty bump bump*
:) Bump again... :)
uumm... why does this need a bump?
Becasue I still have a question that needs answering......
No, and whenever I add custom music in mp3 format it ALWAYS, ALWAYS gives me this error:
###/###/###.mp3 not a valid dynamic music entry!!!
And yes, I KNOW that you use a target/speaker with a noise key and check it global for your custom music.
But I want worldspawn custom music.
Uhm Karshadii I have no idea if this helps....but u should put sound in a Music folder woch is created directly in the pk3 file then add key to worldspawn: music and value: music/yoursong.mp3 .....
Just a thought...
= )
No, I really twaren't that satuapad!
What I mean is--I am having problems making dynamic music in mp3s and having them load correctly.

Removing black dye from the hair can be challenging for even the most experienced stylists. The first, and most important, step is to identify the type of dye that has been used. There are three main varieties of hair dye, and each type has its own method of removal. Aniline-derivative tints, used in most salons, are oxidative dyes which need to be mixed with a developer in order to work. Vegetable dyes, derived from plants, can be applied directly to the hair. Henna, for instance, is an example of a vegetable dye. Finally there are metallic tints, which are dyes derived from metals.
Professional hair dye, which is an aniline-derivative tint, comes in three forms: semi-permanent, demi-permanent, and permanent. While semi and demi-permanent colors will gradually fade from the hair, black can often be an exception. Any color, even a temporary rinse, can permanently stain the hair if the hair was blonde or porous before coloring.
If your hair was dyed black using a professional dye, it may be possible for the stylist to apply a color remover. Unlike bleach, a color remover won't lighten the natural melanin pigments in the hair; it will merely break up the color molecules of the hair dye. A color remover and a few washes with a clarifying shampoo can often remove black dye. If this doesn't work, it may be necessary to bleach the hair.
If you had colored your hair at home and it turned black, this situation requires special attention. Metallic dyes produce an exothermic reaction when in contact with bleach, and this can result in chemical burns to the scalp- as well as severely damaged hair. Unfortunately, many color removers will not remove this type of dye from the hair. Since bleach is not recommended, the best solution may be to simply let the black hair grow out. Hair that has been dyed cannot be dyed a lighter color, so applying a brown dye to hair that is stained black will have no effect.
Vegetable dyes are easier to remove from the hair than metallic dyes. Vegetable dyes work by coating the hair shaft with pigment. Unlike professional color, vegetable dyes do not penetrate into the cortex layer of the hair, which is the layer of the hair beneath the cuticle. Since vegetable dyes only coat the cuticle layer, each time the hair is colored another coat of pigment builds up on the hair's surface, making it harder to remove. When attempting to remove this type of dye from the hair, it's best to start with a harsh detergent (try making a paste with equal parts dish soap and baking soda). If washing the hair doesn't remove the color, it may be necessary to bleach the black out of the hair.

The Vanishing of Tyler Freeborn
Action Mission – Blue Mountain
A TSW Guide to content update 1.5
(This quest is the final of four quests about Tyler Freeborn.
The previous quest is The Tenacity of Tyler Freeborn)
The Vanishing of Tyler Freeborn is the final step of the Tyler Freeborn arc. The quest begins in Blue Mountain, at his camera. You are treated to a journal entry from Tyler who believes he has figured out the secret of the fog. Our Secret World Guide continues with the epic conclusion of the Vanishing of Tyler Freeborn.
The Vanishing of Tyler Freeborn, Step 1 – Put on the respirator and follow Tyler Freeborn into the fog
You got a respirator in the last quest, put it on. Enter the fog.
Die? Need another CDC Respirator?
Don't worry, you have it. It's in your dressing room under Face options.
A Full Video Walk-Through for the Dream Sequence
The Vanishing of Tyler Freeborn, Step 2 – Find the Source of the song
Follow the orb of light, there will be a number of them. As you get deeper in you will see shapes running by you in the fog. The humming gets louder, as does your heartbeat.
The Vanishing of Tyler Freeborn, Step 3 – Search for Tyler Freeborn
You have to move through a rather spooky imagination of Kingsmouth. Along the way you fight the safe members of Kingsmouth (Deputy Andy, Helen, Norma, etc.). After fighting Edgar in his junk yard you come to a puzzle.
Five wheels align seven pods (three right, four left). Starting with the bottom pod and moving counter-clockwise:
- Pod 1 (L1,2 and R1)
- Pod 2 (L1,4 and R3)
- Pod 3 (L3 and R2)
- Pod 4 (L2 and R1 and 2)
- Pod 5 (L1,3 and R2)
Want the solution?
Turn all of the pods on and then turn the front two off.
This continues your trek into Tyler's dream. Now, though you get dropped through a chasm on your way to a set of lights. You have to continue moving towards the lights, taking a circuitous route on occasion.
You will then face the boss of the area, Dragumaz. Stay out of his radius attack and work him down. Once there, jump off the ledge and continue on your way to the aura.
The Vanishing of Tyler Freeborn, Step 4 – Examine the body
Things didn't work out for Tyler, but did you seriously expect them to? On the bright side, you get to hear his last words and take his necklace. That's good too, no?

I was looking for cost effective voice playback IC and came up to ISD 1700 series. Another brief datasheet is here. I don't believe with the same footprint and only for 3-4 bucks I can get up to 16 min voice playback(if I am wrong correct me). However I wasn't able to find how to program the chip through digital channel.
If anyone has experience with this ICs - can I program the voice through SPI interface by storing voice samples directly into flash memory rather than recording from mic?

Can Mercenaries Help Battle Piracy and Stabilize Somalia?
This article was first published at Opinio Juris (opiniojuris.org).
Pirates are non-state actors who cause serious international problems that are sometimes beyond the reach or interest of most governments. Mercenaries are non-state actors who can combat pirates without implicating the political and legal problems faced by regular armed forces. And so, it is not surprising, or unwelcome, to hear that mercenaries are getting involved in Somalia.
WASHINGTON — Erik Prince, the founder of the international security giant Blackwater Worldwide, is backing an effort by a controversial South African mercenary firm to insert itself into Somalia's bloody civil war by protecting government leaders, training Somali troops, and battling pirates and Islamic militants there, according to American and Western officials.
The disclosure comes as Mr. Prince sells off his interest in the company he built into a behemoth with billions of dollars in American government contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan, work that mired him in lawsuits and investigations amid reports of reckless behavior by his operatives, including causing the deaths of civilians in Iraq. His efforts to wade into the chaos of Somalia appear to be Mr. Prince's latest endeavor to remain at the center of a campaign against Islamic radicalism in some of the world's most war-ravaged corners. Mr. Prince moved to the United Arab Emirates late last year.
Of course, mercenaries are not a long-term security solution, but it seems to me that in this situation, they could only improve things in ways that national armed forces can't or won't. It is true that there are many complex legal problems concerning their legal status under the law of war and other international laws, but they seem surmountable. And it seems that clarifying and stabilizing their legal status is a worthwhile goal, at least in situations like Somalia where there are few other attractive options.

An employee's work schedule is a designated period of work days and work hours consistent with the employee's percent FTE. This should be noted on the weekly time sheet and must be entered in the Online Work/Leave System (OWLS). An employee's work schedule falls during the work week, which is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 7 consecutive 24-hour periods (168 hours). The work week is designated by the employer and may begin on any day of the week and any hour of the day; it does not need to coincide with the calendar week.
Employees may have different types of work schedules: scheduled, alternate scheduled, non-scheduled, and excepted.
Your department will determine the employee's work schedule – one of the types listed above - based on such factors as operational necessity or employee convenience.
To enter or change a work schedule, open the employee's OWLS record, and perform the following steps:
7. Click on "Quick Schedule Fill" to quickly populate the month with the employee's regular schedule.
8. Make entry corrections to reflect any leave use.
9. Click on "Submit Month and Send PERM," if the change is retroactive.
To view the excepted work period job classes, visit the UW Classified Staff Compensation Plan and look for the "EX" designation under the "Overtime Elg." Column.
When making a schedule change and/or an FTE change in OWLS, the calendar month(s) from the effective date forward will always be erased, and you will need to re-enter the actual daily details based on the corrected FTE or schedule.
If entries have already been made to a month that needs to be changed, it is recommended that you print a copy of the month or months affected before making the actual schedule or FTE change.
When entering the work week begin time, be sure to build in a cushion on either side of an employee's work week because of overtime implications.

Dagon is a game engine developed by Senscape especially tailored for adventure games and based on open technologies. Featuring a deceptively simple scripting language, blazing fast performance and high portability supporting Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and iOS devices, the project aims to become a reference of the genre. This is also the backbone of the upcoming Asylum horror adventure. Dagon is free to use and will be open sourced soon.
The engine allows easy construction of node-based (so called "pseudo-3D") games with a custom scripting language based on Lua, which is simple to learn and features a reduced set of instructions. The rotation in eachnode is panoramic (360 degrees) with added effects such simulating the breathing of the protagonist. Transitions between nodes are also sophisticated including head-bobbing, thus giving the impression that the character is actually walking in real 3D.
Key among the features of Dagon are high performance and portability, which means that games developed with the engine are expected to run smoothly even on lower-end systems. Windows, Mac OS X and major Linux distributions will be supported right out of the box, with iOS support in the short term. Support for building third person adventures is also planned.
The engine is completely based on open technologies, and therefore doesn't require paying royalties or depends on prohibitive licenses or patents.
