While the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has yet to see its first green flag of the year, Casey Mears and the Germain Racing team recorded a successful test at Daytona in early January, where they ended up sixth fastest overall and fourth in single car runs. A subsequent test at Nashville at the end of January once again found them among the fastest cars on the speed chart.
Now, as the Daytona 500 rapidly approaches, the team recently announced the addition of KMC Wheels as a major associate sponsor on their #13 GEICO Chevrolet SS for the 2014 season. KMC Wheels, which was founded in 1982, is not unfamiliar to Mears who has long used their cutting edge custom wheels on a variety of vehicles over the years.
"It's great to have KMC Wheels on-board with us in 2014. I have known these guys for a long time and have used their wheels on many of my trucks, so it's great to be the face of what they're doing in NASCAR," Mears said. "We'll work hard to help raise awareness of their brand in a sport with such a passionate fan base. This announcement is great news as we start the year. GEICO is on the car for at least the next couple of years and our new relationship with Chevrolet and RCR (Richard Childress Racing) seems to be working out really well. KMC is a great addition to our program and we appreciate their support."
KMC Wheels is a brand of Wheel Pros, which has multi-disciplinary sponsorships encompassing nearly the entire sport of auto racing, as well as off-road truck racing. The relationship with Germain Racing and Casey Mears will be their first full-time sponsorship effort in the sport of NASCAR and will serve to complement their current programs, while also expanding their reach among the racing world. Wheel Pros' longstanding commitment to motorsports has Mears excited to be the KMC Wheels brand ambassador in the world of stock car racing.
"We're excited to partner with Germain Racing and Casey Mears for the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. We feel that NASCAR has a strong fan base and this was good timing for us to enter that space and begin engaging fans that so strongly embrace the drivers and their sponsors," stated Wheel Pros president, Jody Groce. "We share the fans' passion for auto racing and look forward to building relationships in NASCAR that will both raise awareness of our KMC brand, as well as provide race fans with a superior, stylish wheel option for their vehicles.
Over the next couple weeks, this column will strive to provide full coverage of the events leading up to the Great American Race at the end of February, including a possible interview with the head of the CJ Mears Gang himself, Casey Mears.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season opens with the Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Feb. 23. The race will be televised live on FOX at 1 p.m. ET. The cars will also be on track throughout the "SpeedWeeks" leading up to the "Great American Race," including the Budweiser Duels qualifying races, which will be televised live on Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.

Singaporean label Vice & Vanity was founded in 2006 by Vivi Masturah Lim and Aaron Kao. The pair's jewellery has been featured in exhibitions and publications internationally. Most recently they collaborated on a capsule range of bags with label Saturday. The inspiration behind the brand lies in the juxtaposition of the ancient and the modern, drawing on the folklore of cultures from around the world. The collection 'Oni' for example was derived from the "Native American name (Oni) (which) represents birth out of holy ground while in Japan, its the name of a devilish entity with sharp claws."

My host is Windows 7, and VM is Ubuntu 12.04. I use it for web development and I need to make Git repo from virtual HDD visible for the host OS to edit files on the host. What is the best way to do it?
There are two straight forward ways to accomplish this that are independent of the virtualization software that you are using.
Virtual box, and I believe VMWare have an option to share folders between guest and host that uses this underlying setup but is all done through the gui of the virtualization software.
To be more specific I would need to know what path you would like to take. Option 1 would best match the paradigm of guest to host.
Right click the virtual machine in VirtualBox and select Settings. You'll see the dialog below with a button to add a shared folder.

There's no denying it, Citi bikes are the hottest way to get from point A to B in New York City. Not only can you fly by the stopped traffic on Park Avenue but you get the added bonus of a little exercise as you go (you'd look pretty weird trying to fit that in on the subway or in the back of an Uber).
The one major downside to the trendy transport – helmet hair post ride. That's why we turned to hair expert extraordinaire, Oscar Blandi, celebrity stylist of the Oscar Blandi salon. He shares quick tips to fix helmet hair because hello - most of us do have places to be and people to see…
- After taking off the helmet, flip your hair upside down. Gently – Key Word – go into the roots of your hair and fluff/rustle the hair. This will instantly start to rid the flattened mat of hair from the pressure and heat due to wearing a helmet.
- Take some sort of polishing crème with you. This will be help get rid of some of the fly-aways and frizz that come along with a bike ride in the heat.
- Before your bike ride, I recommend you pull hair back into a low bun. To do this, brush hair back and tie with a twist tie. When you release the bun after the helmet is taken off, the hair will instantly have more movement. Another rendition – add a braid and twist into a bun. This will give the 'beach wave' effect lots of girls are after during the recent months.
- For short hair, curly hair or a pixie cut – always bring some sort of water bottle with you. Put a little bit of the water in the palms of your hands and gently go in to hair to tousle and reactivate the products used.
- Do not use a lot of hair spray or gels before putting on a helmet. These sorts of products make your hair crisp and crunchy. Opt instead for soft products (such as crèmes and glosses) to loosen and give volume to the look after the ride.
Grab your bike, hit the pavement and arrive at your final destination in style.

Facebook Integrates PayPal, Targets International Ads
Facebook said it would allow consumers and advertisers to buy ads and virtual items via PayPal, a move aimed at boosting its international business.
Facebook hopes the move will make it easier for small companies in countries such as Germany and the Netherlands, where credit card use isn't prominent, to run advertising campaigns on Facebook. The social-networking site said no money changed hands under the partnership, which is essentially a technology integration.
Generating business from international advertisers is a pressing priority for the company. Currently, 70% of Facebook's more than 400 million users live outside the U.S. Many of them are in countries with relatively small online advertising markets or where merchants and consumers are more comfortable paying with their bank accounts than credit cards.
"As our business has grown, offering local methods of payment has become increasingly important for advertisers who want to buy Facebook Ads," said Dan Levy, Facebook's director of payment operations, in a statement.
In a statement, Osama Bedier, PayPal's vice president of platform and emerging technology for PayPal, highlighted the eBay unit's broad international footprint, which covers 24 currencies in 190 markets.
The partnership comes as Facebook's revenues grew by more than 70% in 2009. Last year, the company became cash-flow positive, meaning it is taking in enough cash to cover its business expenditures.
Facebook said it would also allow people to purchase its own "Facebook Credit" currency through PayPal. Currently, users must give Facebook their credit cards to purchase the credits, which they can spend on virtual gifts for other people. They can also spend the credits on items made by businesses that build software for Facebook, such as gaming companies.

Needs More Rainbows: The Unicorn Constellation
Now I know what you're thinking, and no, you can't change your astrology sign to be a unicorn (trust me, I asked my tarot reader).
This is a shot of the unicorn constellation. While you can't deny it's beauty, if you call something the unicorn constellation I better see some f***ing unicorns.
Hit the jump for a guide to spotting the unicorn, which I failed at -- HARD. I couldn't even tell which way was up.
Full Res Shot from NASA
The Unicorn Constellation is just as beautiful as you'd expect [io9]
Thanks to Carol, who agrees Leo is the best constellation. No arguing, it just is.

"Now that I'm debt-free. I want to keep it that way," said Desiree Banks, who was at Best Buy in Macedonia, Ohio, with a stack of DVDS for $3.99 each.
Shoppers did their homework, researching deals on websites. Stores made planning easier by touting their bargains last week.
"Every year, we get more refined," said Deb Brown, 42, who was at the Bellevue Square Mall in Bellevue, Wash. She came from White Rock, British Columbia.
Many teens bucked the bargain-hunting trend, shopping full force — and paying full price — at high-end stores like Hollister and American Eagle Outfitters, according to mall officials. That suggests that parents, feeling more financially secure, are giving their children extra spending money, said Jharonne Martis, director of consumer research at Thomson Research.
A big worry is that some of the solid buying earlier in November could steal thunder from the rest of the season and leave a deeper lull between Thanksgiving weekend and the few days before Christmas.
Clearly, stores worked hard to draw shoppers in for Black Friday and earlier, with more deals and expanded hours that allowed people to get shopping soon after their Thanksgiving dinner.
A number of stores including Old Navy, Toys R Us and Sears opened on Thanksgiving Day. Toys R Us was counting on getting an extra boost by opening 24 hours straight, starting at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Many stores had trotted out the "Black Friday" label on sales as far back as October.
Best Buy Co. started its holiday TV ads 11 days earlier this year than last year. CEO Brian Dunn said customer counts were showing high-single-digit percentage increases Friday morning compared to last year. He said shoppers were throwing in items like Blu-ray players to go with early morning bargains that started at 5 a.m.
"Traffic was fast and furious. ... We started earlier and we have more TV (commercials). I think both of these things helped," Dunn said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Wal-Mart, which had most stores open around the clock, reported the top five selling electronic items included an Emerson 32-inch LCD HDTV for $198. Hot toys included $10 Barbies and $4 Zhu Zhu pets, which were last year's hot hit.
Thanksgiving weekend is huge for retailers. In recent years, Black Friday — called that because the surge of shoppers could take retailers into profitability, or "the black," for the year — has been the busiest shopping day of the year, according to data from ShopperTrak.
Black Friday is generally not as big for online retailers as Monday after Thanksgiving — known as Cyber Monday — but many were already off to a good start. By mid-afternoon Friday, eBags sales soared 69.5 percent compared with a year ago.
The retail blitz doesn't make or break the holiday season. In fact, shoppers seem to be procrastinating more every year, giving retailers some nail-biting moments waiting for sales the last few days before Christmas.
Last year, the Thanksgiving shopping weekend accounted for 12.3 percent of overall holiday revenue, according to ShopperTrak. Black Friday made up about half of that.

I'm not sure if I should be asking this here or on StackOverflow, but here goes:
I'm part of a team maintaining a document management application, and I'm trying to figure out Windows file locking permissions. We use a utility somebody downloaded years ago called psunlock to remotely close all locks on a file. We recently discovered that this does not work across different domains on our VPN. A little bit of digging lead me to the samba manual's discussion of file locking. I still don't really "get it", though.
Does anyone have any insight to share into how the process of locking and breaking locks on files works in a network context? My thinking is that privileges are required both on the file appliance and on the client workstations which hold locks. Is that accurate? Can anyone give a more specific version? Ideally I'm looking for something along the lines of A user must have privilege level X in order to break locks held from a client workstation. In practice I'd be happy with a hotlink to a good white paper on the subject.

When I ask my friend, artist Steve Burtch, how he would characterize his career, what he feels he is poised to do at this point, he says "take over the world." We both laugh, and he goes on. "No, seriously, things are going very well. I'm about to debut my most exciting work to date." Sitting with Steve in his living room, he tells me "I basically stole my artist's statement from David Lynch, who it appears lifted it from Eva Zeisel," the Hungarian ceramicist who passed away December 30, 2011 at the age of 105. When asked how to make something beautiful, Eva replied simply, "You just have to get out of the way."
|Steve Burtch
But what about all the studying, all the training, that artists do, be they actors or painters? If all we have to do is get out of the way, what's the point of all that? Steve admits that, while he has plenty of classical training, and thinks that it is important, there are those that get by without it "just because they have talent. I mean, you see that as an actor, don't you, in your field?" What Steve does think it takes, for everyone, in any artistic field, classically trained or not, are "discipline and a willingness to work at it every day." That regimen, that pattern, helps you get out of the way. "Like when you go for a long run," he says. "You train and train, and then one day, you find that you're just running." But unlike Steve's friend Trey McIntyre, with whom he used to be roommates and who was profiled in the April 2011 blog article An Offering of Suffering, Steve says, "I don't offer up my suffering for anyone. I like to keep it all for myself, and a few choice members of Congress."
Art critic Shana Nys Dambrot described perfectly the paradox of this interplay between intense discipline and the ability to simply get out of the way and let the art happen when she said of Steve's work, "Burtch's paintings and drawings...are impossibly delicate, nuanced affairs, whose fine, almost maddening subtlety belies the controlled chaos of their making." If you want the chance to see his work in person, he is about to be featured, via Peter Blake Gallery, in the 17th Annual LA Art Show: Modern and Contemporary, and next month in the Palm Springs Fine Art Fair: Post War and Contemporary Art, all leading up to a Spring show at Peter Blake Gallery in Laguna Beach, California and a project with Devin Borden Gallery in Houston, Texas. He is represented by Peter Blake Gallery and by Devin Borden Gallery.
You can see his work and get more information on his website at steveburtchstudio.com. But you should know that there is no way that photography can capture the subtleties of his work and do justice to the relationship that the pieces have with the ever changing qualities of light, so do yourself a favor — go view it in person. You'll see it, and it will stay with you. It has with me.

Blackberry CEO Thorsten Heins out as $4.7bn Fairfax buyout falls through
Heins been
CANADIAN PHONE MAKER Blackberry's CEO Thorsten Heins announced his resignation from the company on Monday, as the firm announced that it has accepted a $1bn investment after a potential $4.7bn buyout fell through.
Today was supposed to be a big day for Blackberry, but it looks like things haven't gone as planned. Fairfax Financial's $4.7bn buyout deal seems to have collapsed, with Blackberry instead announcing today that it has secured a $1bn investment from Fairfax and other "institutional investors" in a last ditch bid to prop up the company.
Fairfax Financial CEO Prem Watsa said, "Fairfax is a long-time supporter, investor and partner to Blackberry and, with this investment, reinforces its deep commitment to the future success of this company.
"I look forward to rejoining the Blackberry Board and to working with the other directors and management team, under John Chen's leadership, to shape the next stage of Blackberry's strategy and growth."
The firm also unexpectedly announced on Monday that Blackberry CEO Thorsten Heins is resigning from his position as head of the company. Former Sybase CEO John Chen, who has been appointed executive chair of Blackberry's board of directors, will take over as CEO temporarily while the firm searches for a new chief executive.
Chen said in a statement on Monday, "I am pleased to join a company with as much potential as Blackberry.
"Blackberry is an iconic brand with enormous potential - but it's going to take time, discipline and tough decisions to reclaim our success. I look forward to leading Blackberry in its turnaround and business model transformation for the benefit of all of its constituencies, including its customers, shareholders and employees."
The transaction is expected to be completed within the next two weeks, with the firms awaiting approval from the Toronto stock exchange.
In the wake of the news Blackberry's share price has already fallen more than 18 percent. µ

Bryan Denton Wins Fifth Annual Getty Images Chris Hondros Fund Award
American photojournalist Bryan Denton has won the fifth annual $20,000 Getty Images Chris Hondros Fund (CHF) Award, and fellow photojournalist Kiana Hayeri has also been awarded the $5,000 emerging photojournalist grant, Getty Images announced today. The awards will be presented at a reception at the Aperture Gallery in New York on May 4.
The CHF award was established to honor the work and celebrate the legacy of photojournalist Chris Hondros, who was killed in April 2011 while on assignment covering the Libyan civil war. The four previous CHF Award winners were Kevin Frayer, Daniel Berehulak, Andrea Bruce, and Tomás Munita.
Denton has been based in Lebanon, Beirut since 2006 and has completed assignments in the Middle East, Africa, South East Asia and Afghanistan for The New York Times, Newsweek, TIME, The Wall Street Journal and more. He was previously selected as a finalist by the CHF in 2013.
"I was lucky enough to have been friends with Chris, which makes this accolade a bittersweet motivation to keep pushing my work forward, and to do so with the kindness, grace and spirit that Chris embodied both in his work and in life," Denton said in a prepared statement.
Hayeri, who was born in Iran and migrated to Toronto as a teenager, won the emerging photojournalist grant for work exploring topics such as migration and adolescence. Her work has appeared in publications including Le Monde, Der Spiegel, Monocle, and The Washington Post.
Jurors for the 2016 CHF awards included Getty Images vice president of news Pancho Bernasconi, New York Times photographer Todd Heisler, freelance photojournalist Jeff Swensen and CHF board president Christina Piaia, who was engaged to Hondros at the time of his death.

LAURA Kaye has gone through 16 years of school, college and university without taking a single day off.
The 21-year-old art and design graduate started at the nursery at Churchfield Primary school in Cudworth and went through to the end of year six as a primary pupil without taking off a single day because of illness.
She was given the Barnsley Council ambassador award for her 100 per cent attendance record.
Then she moved up to Willowgarth High school where for the next five years she again recorded an impressive 100 per cent attendance.
There followed two years at Barnsley College, then three years at the University of Huddersfield, and again never one day's sick leave.
Laura, who admits she also hates being late for anything, added: "There is one thing about it - I can certainly put on my CV that I am a prompt, conscientious and reliable person."
** Laura appears in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated August 1. **
Well done laura! Lifetime achievement that! Don't think there's many that can say the same! X
Absolutely amazing. I was rarely absent from school, never late and went home sick after vomiting up my lunch sandwiches one Friday afternoon at my secondary school. I thought half a day absent in 4 years was good but your record is extraordinary and deserves great recognition. You are reliable which is important and rare. Good on you.

On Writing and the Author:
Today we're looking at Michael Collins and his latest release, a wonderful glimpse into a collection of poems that covers a broad expanse of themes. Michael Collins takes us on an emotional journey from death, to slavery, to God.
Born in Jamaica, Michael Collins teaches English at Texas A&M. He has authored literary criticism, crative nonfiction journalism and fiction in publications such as PMLA, Callalo, and Singapore's The Strait Times.
What Michael Collins does:
I am an Associate Professor of English at Texas A & M University.
Why Michael Collins likes it:
I like writing because I like to watch an inventive piece of prose or poetry put a language through its paces. Inventive writing shows what a language can do, just as a great athletic performance shows us what the human body (and human will and imagination) can do. I find putting the English language through its paces to be fun and enlightening--and I hope those who read my work will find my efforts to be fun and enlightening too.
Inspiration comes from:
I have been inspired by writers ranging from Homer to Joyce to Ralph Ellison, and, more recently, contemporaries like Yusef Komunyakaa.
If not writing, then what? I often look back and regret that I did not go to law school.
Tell us about your latest release? What brought about its creation? How long did it take to complete?
There are poems in my new book that were written less than a year ago, and poems that were written decades ago. This length of time is mostly a reflection of the difficulty of publishing poems like mine in a poetry publishing industry whose editors' aesthetic standards are often different from mine. As for the creation of the poems themselves, they are a result of my desire to figure out why people do the things they do. That is to say, they are a result of my efforts to use language as a lens for looking into people's souls.
What's the next project?
I have several projects on the burner: another book of poems, a novel that I published a piece of 20 or so years ago but have never had the time to complete, and several works of literary criticism that take the next steps beyond my 2012 book Understanding Etheridge Knight. Which one gets completed and published first depends mostly on 1) the state of my bank account and of my ability to get time to write, and 2) how my ideas and aesthetics line up with those of the people who run the subsets of the publishing industry.

New musical sensation, Lorde, gave a stunning and emotional performance of her hit single, "Royals", according to a Jan. 26 report in Hollywood Life. Lorde, originally from New Zealand, has came onto the music scene by storm with her catchy lyrics and funky beats.
Lorde sang her international hit song, "Royals" at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards with a little light and an image of a stature in the background. Lorde sang her emotionally charged song while wearing simple white and black attire, wore dark anti-pop star lipstick and her signature brunette curls draped over her shoulders.
The strangest part of Lorde's 2014 Grammy performance was her spray painted black finger tips. No one knows why she thought this was a good look, or if she had an artistic reason for the choice. According to E! News, there is even a Twitter account dedicated to the Lorde's Grammy nails.

TUCSON, Ariz. – University of Arizona Wildcat men's golf will wrap up its 2010 fall slate as it takes on the field at the Gifford Collegiate Championship, held in San Martin, Calif., Nov. 8-10.
TUCSON, Ariz. – University of Arizona Wildcat men's golf will wrap up its 2010 fall slate as it takes on the field at the Gifford Collegiate Championship, held in San Martin, Calif., Nov. 8-10.
Arizona will look to close out the fall strong after a disappointing first three tournaments. However, fall performances are not always indicative of spring success. Statistically speaking, Arizona has gotten off to slow starts in each of the past three seasons. The team's fall stroke average from last year was 25 strokes higher than its spring numbers. The Wildcats also had a higher fall stroke average during the 2008-09, 2007-08 and 2006-07 seasons. Arizona averaged a ninth place finish in five fall events last year, compared to an average finish of just over sixth place during the spring portion of the schedule (nine events). Through three events this season, the Cats are averaging just better than a tenth place finish.
The tournament format will test Arizona's depth; the event strays from the standard play-five, count-four format to the play-six, count-five, the first such tournament UA has competed in this season. The Wildcat's lineup will be: Tarquin MacManus, Jonathan Khan, Erik Oja, Tye Beall, Philip Bagdade and John Kostis. Beall, a freshman out of El Paso, Texas, will be making his Wildcat debut in the tournament. This will be the first tournament of the season for Kostis, a senior who has been battling injury.
The field consists of: host UCLA, Arizona, Augusta State, Lamar, Long Beach State, Northwestern, Oregon, Oklahoma, San Diego, Stanford, USC and Washington. Augusta State is the defending NCAA Champion.
Last year's event was won in record fashion by Stanford; its score was the lowest since the tournament adopted the play-six, count-five format. Arizona finished ninth while both Khan and MacManus recorded top-20 finishes; Khan's seventh place finish led the way.
The Gifford Collegiate is contested at the CordeValle Resort in San Martin, Calif., a par-72, 7,169 yard course. Live results will be available at golfstat.com. For complete results from the Gifford Collegiate and continued coverage of Arizona Wildcat men's golf, visit ArizonaWildcats.com.

College Hockey:Zengerle notches four points to lead Wisconsin over Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota clinched a share of its first MacNaughton Cup since 2007 on Friday night, but the Gophers' hopes of hoisting the Cup in celebration before their home crowd were put on hold for at least one more night.
Behind Mark Zengerle's goal and three assists and two points from Ryan Little (1-1–2), the Wisconsin Badgers rolled to a 4-1 victory over No. 4 Minnesota at Mariucci Arena.
"Playing in this building can be difficult if the crowd gets into it," said Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves. "We were able to get the lead and take them out of it and we just kept adding.
"And Mark [Zengerle] had an outstanding offensive night for us; the timely goals that we created were a key element tonight."
"We knew there was a lot at stake, I mean they were going for that cup, and we're trying to get up there and get ready for playoffs," said Zengerle. "They have a lot of energy in this building, and we kind of weathered it right away.
"To get a goal in the first and then the second wasn't really what we were expecting, but it was really nice."
With the Gophers (23-12-1, 19-8-0) entering the weekend with a two-point lead over second-place Minnesota-Duluth, the loss meant Minnesota did not learn its fate until roughly 40 minutes after its game when St. Cloud State held on to defeat the Bulldogs, 2-1, in St. Cloud.
Minnesota coach Don Lucia was asked if the Gophers backed in to the league title.
"There is no such thing as backing into anything," Lucia responded. "That's what you play 28 [conference] games for."
The Badgers already led 3-0 with less than five minutes remaining in the second period when Zengerle essentially put the game away. The sophomore forward picked up the puck deep in his own zone, wove his way into the Minnesota end and made a nifty move on Gophers defenseman Seth Helgeson before beating Patterson to his blocker side.
"I was kind of actually running out of real estate there and [decided to] go for a move and it worked out perfect," said Zengerle.
With 26 saves, Wisconsin freshman goaltender Joel Rumpel won his 11th game of the season and backstopped the Badgers (16-15-2, 11-14-2 WCHA) to their third consecutive, and fourth overall, road win of the season.
Surprisingly, however, Rumpel was not the only freshman goalie to see action on the night.
Minnesota's Kent Patterson was replaced by rookie Michael Shibrowski to begin the third period after making 11 saves on 15 shots through two periods. Shibrowski's insertion ended Patterson's consecutive minutes streak at 3,414:13, which spanned more than 57 games.
Shibrowski shutout the Badgers in the final period with five saves in his collegiate debut.
"They were the better team tonight in basically every phase of the game," said Lucia. "It's disappointing, but there's nothing we can do about it now."
The Gophers set a physical tone early with some glass-rattling hits, but offense was difficult to come by until the Badgers struck late in the opening period.
Zengerle won a faceoff in the right circle to Ryan Little, who spun and fired a shot that rebounded off of Patterson's pads right to Tyler Barnes, who buried his ninth goal of the season at 17:59 of the first period.
Aiding Wisconsin's cause was a key penalty kill midway through the first in which Minnesota moved the puck well, but couldn't find an opening.
"I thought we did a really good job of shot blocking there and didn't really give them grade 'A' scoring chances," said Eaves. "It's a turning point; if they get a goal, the crowd's into it and from there you don't know where the energy goes in the building."
Wisconsin doubled its lead at 5:25 of the second when Zengerle picked off a partially-fanned-on outlet pass by Minnesota defenseman Ben Marshall and fed a pass to Little, whose wrist shot from the top of the right circle beat Patterson over his left shoulder.
The goal was just the third of the year for Little, who was added to Wisconsin's top line this week because Eaves said he wanted more balance in his lineup.
"One thing that Ryan can do, he can skate and create space for his linemates," said Eaves. "He was able to add offensively playing with those guys, and it was a good thing for us."
Less than five minutes later, with Minnesota's Nico Sacchetti off for hooking, Wisconsin's Michael Mersch potted his 14th of the year when he pounced on a loose puck at the top of the crease that a stunned Patterson thought he had secured.
A late goal by Sacchetti ended Rumpel's shutout bid and provided the final margin in an impressive Wisconsin win.
The Gophers played without star forward Nick Bjugstad, who has been nursing an injury, but Lucia aptly pointed out Bjugstad's absence had no impact on the outcome.
"The way the rest of our guys played it wouldn't have mattered if Nick was in the lineup tonight," said Lucia.
However, Eaves fully expects to see Minnesota's leading scorer suit up on Saturday.
"Chances are they're going to have their big guy back in the lineup tomorrow," Eaves said of Bjugstad. "It's funny; you take one player out of your lineup but it changes the chemistry of your whole team, so he'll be a go-to guy tomorrow and they'll come back with their [backs against the wall] for sure."
Zengerle, however, is looking forward to the challenge.
"At every level, you want to be playing your best hockey going into the playoffs," said Zengerle. "So we're trying to keep on banging on the drum like we've been saying and keep rolling into tomorrow too."

Will these things break in at all?
They work fine but are soooo tight I can barely get them on my (generously proportioned) nose. If your conk is bigger than average you will be surprised at the effort it takes to get it on. I certainly won't lose it in the pool... :)

Fairfax, va
My go to clip
Can't swim without one so this is one of two clips I always use. It fits well and I always have a spare on hand just in case. I like the silicone pads and the price can't be beat.
Pgh Pa
So So
Bought these for my son as a replacement pair. Most of the other brands I have purchased stated they were for youth as well. I have yet to have a single pair stay on his nose. Nothing against the brand, I just feel that a one size fits most approach does not always work. Since they all work about the same, I did get a few of them due to the price. More than likely, I will end up getting additional ones. That is unless I can actually find different ones that work better.
Brighton, CO
Daughter loves it
My daughter loves swimming and underwater play when she can keep the water out of her nose. This clip does the job well, and she loves that it's pink.
Ross M.
Redlands, CA
Very comfortable but no strap
These are the most comfortable nose clips that I have used but I lost my first pair due to no retaining strap. Ordered another pair and made my own strap. Seems so obvious to have a strap like others have???
Don Y.

cool product
very good design and very durable. It took some time for my daughter to get use to it, she likes it and it keeps the water out of her nose. she really likes the color choices, she said yellow and green colors would have been awesome (her favorite colors too)
sean t.

Good for big a nose
If you have a small face this may not be your best choice but it is a great product.
Bleu Water
San Francisco, CA
it was very uncomfortable for my daughter & too tight
it's too tight & uncomfortable but price is fine..
These are ok..but....
First I should say that I don't normally wear nose plugs but have adopted them for a new workout at the pool (to improve breathing-stroke rythum and endurance). The nose plugs will work. But I still have to adjust them often to get them into the correct position otherwise they slip off my nose. They pinch after a while (15min) but do keep the water out.I would suggest that the tips are very good but the plastic 'bridge' should be modified to allow more personal adjustment (now they are just a clothes peg). But then that would be a different product at a different price I am sure.I will be asking around for a better noseplug but will keep these for now.
Toronto, Caanada
Pick This One
I bought three different kinds of nose clips - these are the only ones that worked...
Denver, CO
It was tight but I guess thats better because it holds your nose shut.
Not even close
My nose is average-sized but this clip didn't even come close to fitting.
Washington dC
Sporti Nose Clip
It is not so great. I believe the nose clip with steel and rubber is better
Jorge M Hernandez-Valdes
Austin, TX
Not very secure or comfortable
I quit using this as it wasn't very comfortable and kept falling off. Just learned to breath right and really don't need it anymore.
Poulsbo, WA
Seems to slip off nose when wet
Works OK, but once wet, it doesn't stay on the nose all too well.
Love these nose clips!!
They are very tight and don't fall off when you're swimming! They also don't get weak and stretch like others! I have 2 and I also got one for my brother! You don't have to form them to your nose they are perfect for every nose type! I would definitely recommend these! Best of all they aren't expensive!
cool noseclip
keeps water out of my nose every time! also, got it on sale at a great price! :)
Johnson City, TN
Pink Sporti Nose Clip
Fits snug, keeps water out. I would prefer to have a neck strap, but I added my own elastic cord so that I don't lose it in the pool or on the beach.

Cape Cod Love Letter
Every year, for about the past 20, we've returned for a week to a shabby cabin with a galley kitchen, lousy TV reception, and a deck with the proverbial "distant water view" of Wellfleet Harbor. Like the bobolinks that return each year from South America to their favorite New England hayfield, we keep coming back to this crook of fragile land, where the biggest decision of the day is: Bayside or ocean?
It's not lack of imagination — or an aversion to culture — that brings us back year after year. It's the reduction of all things, for a few days anyway, to the elements: light, air, water. And, above all, it's the notion that vacation shouldn't be such hard work. There's a lazy comfort to our routine, the bones of which we lay out on the long ride from pike to bridge: Which night to head to Provincetown? Which to the drive-in? What day for the flea market? When we arrive at the Orleans rotary, I have my Stop & Shop deli order ready, the Cape's being the only location on the planet where we actually eat olive loaf.
I could tell you where our favorite beach is, but then I'd have to kill you.
We discovered it many years ago, and let's just say it's a bit of a schlep, tucked away into grassy dunes and a brilliant green salt marsh on Cape Cod Bay. Its isolation and streaks of rockiness make it a less-traveled, more sedate counterpart to the oceanside beaches. Over the years we've watched its contours change, one dune waxing as another wanes. One year the skeleton of a hardtop road appears in the striation of a dune; the next it's gone.
A few years ago we returned to find the place transformed by the previous winter, which had wreaked havoc on the Cape — its pebbly stretches smoothed over by a luxurious sweep of sand. The life cycle of a beach: one more thing to ponder as, nearly alone, we swish-swash a half mile out through knee-deep, diamond-dancing water to bask like seals on a sandbar.
That's one thing that can still surprise you about the Cape: Despite its image as a crowded, touristy place, you can still find a solitary landscape, just as Henry Beston did when he built his "Fo'castle," the little dune shack near what's now Coast Guard Beach, the shack that became the setting for The Outermost House, his Cape Cod classic. Much of this solitude is thanks to the 44,000-acre Cape Cod National Seashore, a modern wonder of the world, and the other preserves that keep the Cape from being paved over.
Several years ago, in a rare outbreak of ambition, I bought a book called In the Footsteps of Thoreau: 25 Historic & Nature Walks on Cape Cod, by Adam Gamble, and each year we try a different hike, duly making notes about each one. Each has taken us into the Cape's remarkable wild side: bold bluffs blanketed with wildflowers, the ruins of old farms, spectacular views of the ocean. One year we explored Pilgrim Spring, said to be the spot where the settlers of 1620 discovered the first fresh drinking water in their new land. Last summer we discovered the village-like streets of Provincetown's West End and explored the beech forest in the Province Lands, on the Cape's outer tip.
Often enough, though, there's magic even in the crowded places. OK, maybe not in the Saturday morning traffic jams or the beach parking lots. But is there anything more fun than the kooky parade of humanity that makes its way up Commercial Street in Provincetown on a warm evening? Is there a finer summer moment than your first day out, when you're standing at the top of the stairs at, say, the Marconi Station platform or Nauset Light, and you catch your first glimpse of the beach below — a sandy grand boulevard with a cast of tiny thousands, dotted with beach umbrellas like toy tops?
Above, a clear blue sky, and beyond, all that water.
The Cape makes me want to be a better woman.
Though I vacation in the valley of the fried clam, I shall consume only broiled fish, I vow as we prepare for takeoff over Sagamore Bridge. Early in my week, I even head to the basement of a church in town for a bit of aerobic torture known as the Wellfleet Workout. By Friday, I'm brunching on vodka tonics, dipping my Cape Cod potato chips into smoked bluefish pate from the local fish market, and figuring out whether I want mashed potatoes or fries with my lobster pie at Clem & Ursies.
Aspirations come easily from the seat of a beach chair. When I get home, I muse as I watch the tide come in, I'll redesign my garden. Out with the phlox and in with the bushes of silvery-blue Russian sage that grow so audaciously next to the lemony daylilies on the traffic islands off Route 6. I'll grow blousy blue hydrangeas, even the lacecap variety that seem to spring up almost wild on the Cape, even though they may not bloom well in my temperature zone in northwest Massachusetts.
And I will be well-read. That 10-inch stack of New Yorkers accumulated over the spring will be digested, along with the latest Tom Friedman tome.

The titles for the episodes in "Revenge" season 3 have been pretty clear that things aren't going to be nice and pretty anytime soon. This is especially true for the last episode, titled "Hatred" and the upcoming episode 14, named "Payback." On Jan. 19, Carter Matt revealed some thoughts on what to expect.
Warning: If you do not want to know "Revenge" season 3, episode 14 spoilers, then stop reading.
A preview was aired immediately following the last episode and Victoria is interrogating Emily about her past and her family. She likely not only wants answers, but wants to know exactly who she is dealing with so she can create a plan to get the upper hand or to get rid of her completely. Victoria doesn't like being kept out of the loop and the mystery surrounding Emily is eating away at her.
While Emily may have the upper hand right now, her blackouts are becoming a problem and she cries to Aiden that she is worried she is losing control. These blackouts could have serious consequences. Since she is an enemy living in the Grayson home, Victoria could use them to her advantage.
Emily isn't the only person that Victoria is dealing with, though. Conrad's first wife has returned and it is being said that she will be sticking around for a bit, although no other information has been revealed. Speaking of Conrad, his alliance with Emily doesn't sit well with Daniel, but what will he do about it?
Then there is the issue of Niko. In the hospital she tried to inject something into Emily's IV, but wasn't able to when Emily received visitors. Then she was assigned to care for her at the Grayson manor. While she put on an act that she was on Emily's side, there were a few instances where it is clear that she isn't, especially the part where says that Emily got all the attention that Niko wanted. In episode 14, Niko has a katana that belonged her her father and it seems that she may blame Emily for his death.
"Revenge" season 3, episode 14 will air on March 9.

Men also have the opportunity in summer to use different fabrics, colors and wardrobe combinations they couldn't wear in the Fall or while at work. Fabrics like Linen are great for summer weather and men could wear traditional guayabera woven shirts or pima cotton t-shirts with linen shorts. The moisture wicking fabric created for fitness apparel also could double as a shirt fit for a social event like the one above. A snapback cap with a print together with a tank top and denim shorts also work and slides at the beach/pool is super comfortable and vary in color so a guy could stand out from the rest. Finally, men during the summer should encourage themselves to be advantageous. Spontaneity such as knowing which Happy Hours have great deals or what venues have inexpensive concerts or festivals in the immediate area add to a man's visual silhouette. After that, anything is possible.

Arrivals SwimVacation
Sunday, March 7, 2010
Picture it. Its dark, stormy, wind howling, rain pouring down. Two people, looking for adventure and some intrepid companions, set out from a tiny Caribbean airport.
They walk. Destination Loose Mongoose. The rendez-vous point cant be too far, right? So what its raining! They can get wet - after all, theyre swimmers!
It rains. It pours. And still, they walk. Through giant puddles (they almost lost the little one) and over huge swaths of cold, wet sand. Dragging their luggage, leaving tracks on the beach. It cant be much farther...
They climb over a jetty (the little one almost blows away) and into the welcoming arms of a polished gentlemen who says Youre with the Promenade? Yes! Your group is right over here!
Around the corner and there are the bright, excited faces of 4 SwimVacationers and Guide Fitzy, all delighted to see the soggy two, Guide Heather and Leader Hopper, squish up to the bar to join them....
So, were here, and its wet. But were here to get wet!
Last night we met Laird and Emma, Rob and Chess, we raised a glass and downed some burgers before dragging our soggy selves to the Promenade where three dry bunks were ready for us.
The wind howled all night, but that and the patter of rain on my hatch lulled me to sleep. I always sleep so well on a boat, and last night was no exception. Well catch some breakfast this morning and then prepare for the official start of our SwimVacation adventure. Our guests will be here at noon.
It may rain, it may pour. But what we know about the folks who come to swim is that they are usually up for anything. No doubt well make the most of everything the BVI has to give us this week.
PS. Seeing Captain Rich and Admiral Lisa this morning is better than any sunrise could have been!

- sharp small hail, sniping two degree rain, sodden booties cold feet colder hands in wet gloves. Ninety minute commute was getting a little epic.
- age or slow learning? Realising Fridays are best left for banal doings.

Edit Article
How to Edit the HTML of Evernote Notes on a Mac
If you use Evernote and need more formatting options, editing the HTML can open a new world of possibilities. For example, if you use Evernote to take notes for chemistry class, it's easy to edit the HTML to allow you to create subscripts and superscripts. See Step 1 to learn how to get what you want out of Evernote.
1Modify the note (even just a little bit). This is so that the note's "Date Modified" in your filesystem is updated.
2Close the note in Evernote. You can have Evernote open, but don't have the note open. It makes the editing wonky.
3Navigate to where your notes are. This is a bit tricky. You first need to find the data Evernote stores. On Mac, it's located at /Users/(MAC username)/Library/Application Support/Evernote/accounts/Evernote/(username)/content. Find the folder appropriate to your note. your notes related files will be available in that folder.
Note: If you are unable to see library folder under your username folder, change your finder settings to see hidden files. Check out here, how to see hidden files: http://www.wikihow.com/See-Hidden-Folders-on-Mac-OS-X-and-Other-Recent-Models .
4Edit content.html. Once you're in the note's folder, you can edit content.html with your favorite editor. It's standard HTML. Don't worry about any other files.
5After you finish editing, save and quit your editor and open the note back up in Evernote. This should update the other parts of your note (like the thumbnail). It will also tell you if there are errors in your HTML in a big red box.

In the wake of Hillary Clinton recently claiming when she and husband Bill left the White House in 2001 that they were "flat broke," the former First Couple's only child is now raising more than a few working class eyebrows. As reported by the New York Daily News on June 23, 2014, Chelsea Clinton is claiming she really couldn't care about having money.
Coming off a recent part-time job with NBC News as a "special correspondent," the former First Daughter's impressive $600,000 a year was well beyond what the average part-timer happens to pull in. Nonetheless, the expectant first-time mom claimed "I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn't."
As cited, the younger Clinton "gave up lucrative gigs to join her family's philanthropic foundation." What wasn't cited is that CelebrityNetWorth.com estimates that Chelsea Clinton is personally worth at least $15 million. Neither was it cited that her new husband, investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, is also cited by CelebrityNetWorth.com as being worth a cool $15 million himself.
As noted, the Clintons new son-in-law earned his mountains of money working for the favorite punching bag of the Occupy Movement, Goldman Sachs. Residing in New York's tony Gramercy Park, the Big Apple's newest power couple recently purchased at $10.5 million condominium.
Rankled at being referred to as a boomerang kid, Clinton saw quoted, "It is frustrating, because who wants to grow up and follow their parents? I've tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents … it's a funny thing to realize I feel called to this work, both as a daughter and also as someone who believes I have contributions to make."
With many of the opinion that Bill and Hillary's best earning years possibly ahead of them, few dismiss that the $100 million Clinton fortune will not only grow by leaps and bounds, but a healthy chunk will end up being left to their only child.

2 problems on JK2 internet server
1. I started my own internetserver on a friend's root-server using linux dedicated server 1.04. These days I added vulcanus adminmod. After making som changes I wanted to restart the server (jk2ded +set fs_game adminmod +exec server.cfg), but the changes didn't show up. Somehow I made it after at least 2 hours of trying (strangely it worked as i deleted the adminmod.cfg from the server).
So does anybody know exactly how to start the server correctly to load all settings!
2. Where do I have to copy the custom-maps to work with my maps in the local base-dircktory (pk3-files)? When I put the map as bsp-file under base\maps they run on the server but when I want to join it says "could not find maps\xy.bsp"!
Thanks for all help!
Problems solved! Thx

Ladies and gents', gamers and pirates get ready…Red Knight Learning Systems, a leading developer of e-learning and entertainment games, based in Dallas, Texas, has released a new game for the Iphone and Ipod Touch.
It's called 'Arrr! Pirates vs. Aliens,' and it's a fast-action arcade-style game with 3-D cartoon graphics depicting 'Surf's Up Beach', 'Jewel Caves', and the 'Mayan Jungle'.
The game includes three different zones, with a total of twelve challenging levels.
According to John Purdy, CEO and President of Red Knight Learning Systems, "This is a fun and challenging game, and we are very excited about adding another mobile project to our portfolio."
Gamers begin their adventure in the beach zone and battle aliens of all kinds for the stolen rum. Along the journey, players receive rum points, which can be traded for five different weapons with different damage, additional ammo, or repairs to
your ship. Each zone ends with a challenging boss battle, and if you can stick it out until the last level of the jungle zone you had better be ready to face the Mother Ship!
This is Red Knight's second game to be released in the App Store, following the successful launch of "Hoopster," a 3D basketball game, in March. Red Knight has also started developing educational games on the iPhone and iPod touch for clients.

The last time I saw my brother he was on the ground playing Rescue Hero action figures with Hayden and Reece; I was leaving town and he had agreed to watch the boys until my husband got home from work.
My boys loved their Uncle Ben. I remember once when Hayden and I were at Trader Joe's, Hayden insisted I call Uncle Ben right then and invite him to dinner and a movie. I called him right there in the store, and he accepted the invitation. Hayden picked the dinner and if I remember correctly we had frozen chicken burritos, à la Trader Joe's. I love telling my sons that story.
|This must have been Thanksgiving, 1997
By the time I had returned from my weekend away he had left with a friend to climb Mt. Rainier. It was a couple of days later that my mother received the call that shattered our world.
You know, growing up we weren't close, my brother and I. There was a seven year age difference and I remember my brother was always getting into my things, always hanging around when my friends were over, and just generally cramping my style. I let him know how I felt and now, after laying in bed many nights, full of regrets, I try to teach my sons that they need to be kind to each other... that it's the just the two of them, together, that's it. I don't want that relationship to be damaged when they are older.
It wasn't until he was 18 years old that Ben and I started to become friends. We went camping that year, together with my husband, backpacking in the Jefferson Wilderness and then to the Eagle Cap Wilderness in the Wallowa Mountains. Later, he and I even did a trip just the two of us, I was pregnant at the time and wouldn't even remember it except I have the photos... that seems so strange to me.
|Ben, myself, Bob and Shasta in the Jefferson Wilderness Area, 1995(?)
Actually, I really don't have many memories of us growing up together. I was away at college and then out of the house for most of his youth. Then he was at Boston College and off to France for two years. Bob and I were unemployed with a new baby when he graduated from college, but we threw caution to the wind and sold some Starbucks stock that I had gotten through their employee program so that we could be there.
|Ben and our parents at his graduation from Boston College, 1998
After, when he was living in Paris, Bob, Hayden and I made a trip over there to visit. He was planning to come home that year and we figured it was now or never. While we were there he made a video at Mont Saint Michel... I am so happy to have his voice on camera.
|Bob and Ben tasting Calvados in Honfleur, 2000
I could go on and on, but I didn't intend for this to be so lengthy. I just pray that I am able to love the people around me... really love them~ it's a verb you know, and that I'm kind... and, especially, that I teach my children to love each other.
Thank you for reading...

Get on the road with Roadtrippers
We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
Minam offers opportunities for camping, fishing, boating, rafting, hiking, picnicking, wildlife watching and viewing scenery.
The picturesque Wallowa River flows through the park and is noted for its fishing and rafting. Steelhead fishing in the spring and fall attracts many people. Raft rentals are available at a nearby store and with a trip down the river. You could even see bighorn sheep.
Vital stats: The park is open March – November. The campground offers 12 primitive campsites (maximum site 71 feet).
: Climate in Eastern Oregon varies greatly with elevation. The higher elevations experience colder temperatures and higher precipitation than the lower elevations. The region is much more arid and experiences greater temperature variations than western Oregon. Much of Eastern Oregon is considered high desert, where in some areas annual precipitation is less than 10 inches. Summer temperatures often reach 90 degrees in the lower elevations. Winters can be bitterly cold here, although there is little humidity. The mountains can receive heavy snowfall. If visiting the region during the summer months be prepared for afternoon thunderstorms and chilly evening temperatures. Snow may be encountered on high country trails throughout the summer months.
Location: Minam is located in northeast Oregon, off Oregon Highway 82, 15 miles northeast of Elgin.

Former Missouri wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham visited the Oklahoma Sooners on Thursday to see if the campus was a good fit. By the afternoon, Oklahoma announced that Green-Beckham will be joining the Sooners' program immediately. Due to NCAA transfer rules, DGB won't be able to play in a game until 2015.
Bob Stoops leads Oklahoma's charge as we rank the Big 12 coaches.
Green-Beckham is entering his third year of college, therefore, he didn't have to sign up for a big time university for the 2014 season. After his dismissal from Missouri, he could have exhausted quite a few options.
DGB could have gone the workout route for the 2014 season. He'll be eligible for the 2015 NFL draft, so it was conceivable for Green-Beckham to forgo the rest of his college years. He could have also dropped to the FCS level, and played right away.
Instead, it looks like Dorial Green-Beckham chose the tougher road ahead. It's good that Green-Beckham will be enrolling in class for the summer. Although it's not likely to happen, Oklahoma is pursuing a waiver for immediate eligibility. If the ruling goes in Oklahoma's favor, the Sooners might be the favorite to win the national championship.
Green-Beckham was kicked off of the Missouri team in April, so he really had no place to go. After multiple incidents following Missouri's SEC East winning season, the Tigers also had no choice but to cut ties, for DGB to get a fresh start.
Dorial Green-Beckham accounted for 87 receptions and 17 touchdown catches in two seasons with the Missouri Tigers. However, DGB had a huge sophomore season with 59 catches for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The most important part of the process is for DGB to keep his head on straight and stay away from negative occurrences. It's not likely to be his last chance, but it could be his last benefit of the doubt. There's no question that his draft stock has taken a hit, but with a solid couple of years, he can get his football life back on track.

I am a big fan of Zeiss lenses so when I was given an opportunity to shoot with their brand new Touit lenses on my Nex-7 I happily took it even though I'm really in the market for portrait lenses. Like anyone who has been a photographer for 30+ years I have the accumulated knowledge and experience to shoot almost any subject from people to landscapes and everything in between and I've been paid to do it at one time or another. That being said, the only times I've ever shot wider than the 24 end of a 24-70 zoom is on architectural interior jobs where I rented a lens. I've never really walked around with a wide lens framing the world searching for a great shot. … Continue Reading
My friends at Sigma hooked me up with one of the first samples of their new 60mm f/2.8 DN Art Lens in Sony E mount for the Nex 7. With the lens in hand on Friday I called Lauren who occasionally models for the photo classes I produce at Samy's Camera and we were able to schedule a 2 hour test session at my downtown loft for Saturday. I've been anxiously waiting for this lens because 60mm on APS-C sensors is a nice telephoto focal length which translates to a 90mm full frame equivalent. I really like the SEL 50mm 1.8 but find myself wishing for a little more compression when shooting portraits. The Sigma 60 should fit the bill nicely. … Continue Reading
Continuing my search for portrait lenses on the Sony Nex 7, I found a mint condition Voigtlander 75mm f/2.5 LTM on ebay for around $400. This lens is in Leica Thread Mount (LTM) and was designed for rangefinder cameras. I already owned a LTM to Sony Nex adapter so I bought the lens. There are also Leica M mount versions of this lens if you have a M to Nex adapter. I imagine resell value will be a little higher for a more current lens mount like the M over the old screw mount.
Voigtlander has been making lenses for over 250 years. It is now owned by a Japanese company Cosina which has started to reinvigorate the lineup with new lenses aimed not only at rangefinders but the mirrorless segment as well. They recently released an update to the 75mm with a 1.8 aperture but because of the larger glass needed for this design it's significantly bigger than the older 75 f/2.5 and it sells for around $700. I decided that the weight and price ratio added to the compression of an approximate 110mm (35 full frame equivalent) the older f/2.5 was the better choice for me. … Continue Reading
I've been trying out a lot of lenses and adapters on my Sony Nex 7 so I decided to write up my tests in a series of articles on portrait focal lengths. This first comparison covers the only shipping portrait lens for the Sony E mount which is the SEL 50mm 1.8. On an APS-C sensor the 50mm focal length translates to a field of view similar to a 75mm lens on a full frame sensor. It won't show quite as much compression as a 75mm but the depth of field does shrink a bit and there is a slight telephoto effect on faces. I'm putting the Sony 50mm up against the Leica 50mm Summicron 2.0 using a Novoflex NEX/LEM adapter. I chose this lens for two reasons. One, I have access to this lens from the Samy's Camera rental department. Secondly because Ken Rockwell says this about it:
There is no better 50mm lens on Earth than the LEICA SUMMICRON-M 50mm f/2. The SUMMICRON is the world's reference for a 50mm photographic lens.
