Tony Northrup: After your excellent article on equivalence, I'm surprised to see that you're still showing the 35mm equivalent focal length without applying the crop factor to the f/stop number. Obviously this tiny lens isn't equivalent to a 21mm f/2.8.
By all means, list the physical f/stop and focal length. If you apply the crop factor to the focal length, however, you should also give us the equivalent f/stop.
Here's a good explanation: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/2666934640/what-is-equivalence-and-why-should-i-care
21mm is Field of View
f/2.8 is exposition. f/2.8 is always the same without relation to crop.
And that EVF eyecup is much more comfortable.
Ok, I finally got to CP+ and could touch GH4 myself.
Info and level marks become dimmed after 30sec and totally disappear after another 30sec during video recording.
EVF is really incredibly sharp and looks bigger than in GH3, moreover while display is 16:9, EVF is 4:3.
Timelapse has special mode on the left dial(visible on photos) and in the end of shooting or in play mode all photos can be converted into video including 4K
Now in WiFi you can not only start video recording, but stop it. Though they are still "deciding" about showing remote video during recording.
Memory card bay lid is much harder to open.
Hard to say about AF, but except more flexible zones it doesn't look noticeably faster. Cant say about following focus accuracy, as they don't allow to use your own memory card.
Now you can adjust shadows and highlights for JPG.
RAW converter is quite simple and allows to setup all usual settings as for JPG shooting (including new shadows and highlights)
caver3d: In the first article the "GH4" is stamped on the front of the cam. In this article (photo at top), it is not. Maybe it's a stealth model. And why not? Pany threw the kitchen sink into this one. This is m43 with a vengeance!
The only visible difference between GH3 and GH4 are lock button on mode dial and additional contacts in the base of camera
StevenN: The GH4 really doesn't need a locking mode dial. The dial on my GH3 is firm enough and has never inadvertently shifted. Not sure I'd want to hold a button down to be able to turn a dial.
Isnt it switch? Press once to unlock, press again to lock?
Photato: I'd rather have 1080P in 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording with a professional editing grade CODEC than consumer 4k.
Also the sensor resolution has to be lower than 16MP, like the Canon's C300 et al. 10MP seems a good balance, more so for a 4/3" sensor.
Would be nice too an internal ND filter, just like the real Pro video cameras have and even vanilla P&S !
Can someone please make such camera?
Do you mean can record 10 seconds?
retartedcanuck: USB 2.0? Really?
Does anybody really still use USB?
Daniel Lauring: IMHO, this is stretching the envelope of usefulness of tablets. It is "trying too hard" to fit a 10lb brick in a 5lb basket. For RAW editing anyone would be way better off with an Ultralight laptop (like Macbook Air) or Windows tablet (like Microsoft Surface.) Heck, you can buy last year's Surface Pro for $600 with an i5 processor and 128Gb SSD. Better still the Surface has true Wacom digitizer support.
Tablets have one advantage, they can be charged with light solar panel. For any ultralight laptop solar panel is much heavier.
And still tablets are atleast 3 times lighter than any laptop
Why share and video quality are in chinese?
Funny but my photos without any fancy filters are more popular than any with
Only 1080 60i and 720 only 60p? :(
Not action camera replacement
nightshadow1: how about an analysis of Google's and G+ terms. They were caught reading private emails from user accounts, so how about an easy to understand terms of service for them?
It's impossible to make email service which is not reading your emails. It cannot filter spam, sort, search. Actually it will not be able even understand whose is that email without reading it
Tal Shachar: sx510 would be more impressive if it supported AA batteries and a hot shoe. A big camera like SX510 cold easily use 4 AA batteries instead of 1 battery for compact camera. And if you think that those tiny lithium ion batteries are better then AA batteries then here is the calculation that will prove that you are wrong. NB6L is 3.7v 1,000 mAh which is equivalent to one AA battery 1.2v 3,000 mAh
so a camera that size with 4 AA batteries would give 4 times energy and much cheaper
But you still need 3 AA batteries to get needed voltage.
Neither good for photo, nor for video. Boring
ohmydentist: I'd love to try this, but then there's no way I could sit in one spot for 20 hours to do this . . . .
You just set your intervalometer and come back hours later

OZARK -- During Thursday evening's school board meeting for Ozark City Schools, the board decided to keep the Thompkins Early Childhood Center open for at least another year.
Budget issues led to the board discussing closing the school. However, the board voted previously to keep the school open prior to Thursday's meeting. Because it is the most expensive school in the district to run considering price per student, that is why it became the focus of the financial issues.
Currently, it costs the district $7,500 for each of the 168 students.
Superintendent Michael Lenhart said they would look at the financial break down for the Thompkins Early Childhood Center in November or December. At that time, they would have to revisit the issue of closing Thompkins Early Childhood Center, he is confident people understand the financial burdens the school puts on the budget.
"The good thing is that the public is aware of both problems," Lenhart said. "They're aware of the declining enrollment and they're aware of the problem we face for having to pay debt for a building we don't own anymore."

Ok, this is honestly funny.
So the festival.
First, I realized that(unlike many people) I do not like "porn-like" public displays of affection(PDAs). Hand holding is ok. Hugging, kissing, sure. Nipple tweaking(complete with anime porn squealing sounds) and naked kissing with fondling? Jealousy, irritation and all around grumpiness on my part. Now that I know this in the future if such things get started, I will leave. Or if they are really insistent about it, I'll either get a spray bottle or some popcorn.
Second, and this is where I think it gets funny. Because of my irritation with somehow ending up in a "Sexy Chicks Room" instead of the festival I was going to, as well as the fact that all of the people I felt chemistry with were not really appropriate, I wasn't trying to flirt with anyone. So, around Saturday night one of my dear friends had a very strong intoxicant that he offered to give to me. I declined but himself, his girlfriend, and a young lady(here called KSG) helped themselves to this very strong intoxicant.
Now when this happened after considering my options, I decided to help the trio out, make sure they had water, and basically play "sober guy". The night passed with a minimum of incident and what seemed like a small amount of interest on the part of KSG increased quite a bit. I chatted with her last night after I got home and was invited by her to go to another festival this fall and next spring. I'm trying very hard not to read too much into it, but for reasons that I'm not quite sure of, it just "feels" like she is interested in a romantic way.
If that is the case and things work out, then I will make sure to make a separate post here stating explicitly that the people who said, "well, when you stop working on dating, dating will happen" were right and I was wrong.

I've tried a ffmpeg, and it doesn't know how to read Quicktime MOV, neither does VirtualDub.
Avidemux crashes when I open the Quicktime MOV.
In Linux, I'd just use MEncoder, but I'm telling someone over the phone how to resize this 1080p MOV file, so having them use MEncoder in a command shell would be annoying.
Any ideas?

Sir Elton John: 'Princess Diana Would Be Very Happy With Prince William's Choice'
The "Rocket Man" hitmaker Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish will be among the guests as the British royal exchanges vows with Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey in London on Friday.
Sir Elton admits the day will be bittersweet without the groom's mother, Princess Diana, in attendance, and returning to the venue where he sang at the late royal's funeral 14 years ago will bring back painful memories.
But the rocker insists he's looking forward to the Prince's big day and is sure Diana would be as delighted as he is to see Prince William settle down with his college sweetheart.
During an interview on U.S. TV's "Good Morning America" on Monday, Sir Elton says, "The last time we were in Westminster Abbey, my heart sank when I saw those two young boys (Princes William and Harry) walking behind the coffin. I thought that was the hardest thing, I can't imagine at that young age, having to walk in public, following your mother's coffin. And the next time we're in the Abbey, it's to see him (William) walking up the aisle with a beautiful woman and the love of his life."
"I think it's the most joyous result and I'm sure Diana would be very, very happy about it... I think that she would be very happy with his choice. She (Middleton) seems such a great girl. And they seem so much in love."
But the singer does have one fear for the couple - the unforgiving press.
He adds, "Enjoy it while you can because the press are going to give you a bumpy ride. They are going to love you. They are going to hate you. I just hope they love each other enough to stay away from all that. There's one thing in the world if I could get rid of, it's that negativity of the British press, that hatefulness, that horrible nastiness that we have... Yeah it (the wedding) is a fairytale thing and people criticise it and say we're making too much of it. But it's about love, and in this day and age, anything that's about love and positivity is a welcome relief from what's going on in the world."
Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash in Paris, France in 1997, following a chase with photographers.

Skip to comments.KERRY CAMPAIGN USING PRISONER PHOTOS TO RAISE MONEY, GOP SAYS!!
Posted on 05/10/2004 7:10:57 AM PDT by areafiftyone
(CNSNews.com) - Republicans accuse the John F. Kerry Campaign of "politicizing" the Iraqi POW scandal to raise cash.
"The prison images from Baghdad are clearly disgusting, but it's harder to find words to describe those whose first instinct upon seeing them is to raise campaign cash with them," said RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie in a press release dated Sunday.
According to Gillespie, Kerry's Campaign Manager Mary Beth Cahill made fundraising pitches over the weekend, urging Kerry supporters to send money to the Kerry Campaign as a way of showing support for Kerry's demand that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld resign.
In her letter to supporters, Cahill said, "George Bush must fire Don Rumsfeld. But that is only the first step towards in taking responsibility for his Administration's failures in Iraq. John Kerry has called on Don Rumsfeld to resign, and today we are asking you to support him by adding your name to call for Rumsfeld to resign here."
According to Gillespie, "The words and actions of the Kerry Campaign over the past 48 hours show that in times that call for positive answers, they can only offer political attacks. In a situation that requires firm leadership, they put forward fundraising appeals."
A new "prisoner abuse" photo surfaced over the weekend, showing guard dogs attacking a naked Iraqi prisoner, and many more disturbing pictures -- reportedly showing rape and murder -- will soon be viewed by members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, press reports said.
In his Saturday radio address, President Bush said anyone involved in mistreating Iraqi prisoners will answer for their actions:
"What took place in that Iraqi prison was the wrongdoing of a few, and does not reflect the character of the more than 200,000 military personnel who have served in Iraq since the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. America is a compassionate country that believes in justice and in freedom."
President Bush admitted it has been "a difficult few weeks" in Iraq, but he added that U.S. forces "will stay on the offensive, finding and confronting the killers and terrorists who are trying to undermine the progress of democracy in Iraq."
President Bush on Monday was making a short trip across the Potomac River to the Pentagon, where he'll meet with Rumsfeld and other military officials for a briefing on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
President Bush has said he stands by his defense secretary, and his trip on Monday reportedly was planned before the prisoner-photo scandal erupted.
Dear Friend,
Over the past week we have all been shocked by the pictures from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. But we have also been appalled at the slow and inept response by President Bush, which has further undermined America's credibility in the world and created new dangers for Americans in Iraq. George Bush must fire Donald Rumsfeld. But that is only a first step towards taking responsibility for his administration's failures in Iraq.
John Kerry has called on Donald Rumsfeld to resign, and today we're asking you to support him by adding your name to the call for Rumsfeld to resign here:
Help us show that America supports John Kerry in calling for Rumsfeld to resign. If 50,000 people sign this petition, that is a strong statement that will be recognized in the media -- and by the Bush-Cheney campaign. Help us get to 50,000 signers by today by forwarding this email to your friends and family.
The events of the last week are a stark reminder of the stakes in this Presidential election. John Kerry's remarks yesterday painted a striking contrast to President Bush's evasion of responsibility,
"As president, I will not be the last to know what is going on in my command," Kerry said. "I will demand accountability for those who serve and I will take responsibility for their actions. And I will do everything that I can in my power to repair the damage that this has caused to America, to our standing in the world, and to the ideals for which we stand...Today, I have a message for the men and women of our armed forces. As commander in chief, I will honor your commitment and I will take responsibility for the bad as well as the good."
Show George Bush and show the media that you support John Kerry's stand: Donald Rumsfeld MUST resign immediately. To sign please click here:
Obviously this is one of the most important petitions we will send out in the course of this campaign. Please forward this petition to EVERYONE in your address book and get the word out.
Thank you,
Mary Beth Cahill
TIMELINE: What was known, and when.
Fall 2003 Bremer repeatedly raises issue of prison conditions with Rumsfeld and the President's inner circle according to LA Times: "Bremer repeatedly raised the issue of prison conditions as early as last fall -- both in one-on-one meetings with Rumsfeld and other administration leaders, and in group meetings with the president's inner circle on national security. Officials described Bremer as 'kicking and screaming' about the need to release thousands of uncharged prisoners and improve conditions for those who remained." (Washington Post, Graham, 5/7/04)
November 5, 2003 Maj. Gen. Donald J. Ryder files report concluding that there were potential human rights, training, and manpower issues -- system wide -- that needed immediate attention. Discussed serious concerns about tension between missions of the military police assigned to guard prisoners and intelligence teams who interrogate them. (New Yorker Magazine, Hersh, 5/5/04
January 2004 Rumsfeld learns of photographs showing prisoner abuse according to the Washington Post: "...Rumsfeld has known of the photographs since January, when they came to the attention of U.S. commanders in Iraq, he had not seen them, and he was not aware that CBS was about to air them until just hours before they were broadcast last week." (Washington Post, Graham, 5/7/04)
Mid-January, 2004 Bush told about the photo of abuse according to the Washington Post: "Marine Gen. Peter Pace...said Wednesday on CBS's "Early Show" that beginning in mid-January, everyone "up the chain of command . . . was kept apprised orally of the ongoing investigation." Asked if Bush "was well aware of the situation," Pace replied: "Yes."" (Washington Post, Allen, 5/7/04)
Late February 2004 Major General Antonio M. Taguba issues 53-page report concluding that between October and December 2003 there were numerous instances of "sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses" at Abu Ghraib. Report was not meant for public release. (New York, Hersh, 5/5/04 and LA Times, McDonnell, 5/3/04)
March 2004 Six enlisted personnel charged with prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. One is court marshaled. (AP, Burns, 5/3/04)
Mid-April, 2004 Military learns CBS has pictures of prisoner abuse in Iraq. General Abizaid and General Myers ask CBS to post-pone broadcast of the photos. (NY Times, Schmitt, 5/4/04)

I think all Freepers should write to their local papers demanding that Kerri issue and apology for his exploitation of our military men. This seems to be a pattern of his.
As someone said on an earlier thread, "there are men who pay good money to be treated like that".
And they'd all vote for Kerry, too.
Except that Kerry is violating the Geneva Conventions exploiting these photos of prisoners. There is no such violation with the photos of George W. Bush sitting on Air Force One.
Then again when was the last time you saw a publication (not website) showing ANY photos from the 9.11 attack. Did you EVER see a dead body in any of the pictures? Mighty antiseptic of the editors, wasn't it?
You're right, they probably think they're paying money for copies of the photos by donating online at Moron.org.
That's old hat for him after his admitted war crimes. The only thing he hasn't flipped on is his willingness to violate the Geneva Conventions. Maybe he should put it in an ad!
I don't know the democrat party anymore. There is something so degrading about what Kerry is doing and what he and ted kennedy and byrd and other in your face politicians have stooped to saying that I guess many here were right-klinton and his team of immature, short-shighted, publicity seeking, poll relying groupies managed to fully shred whatever semblance of dignity and worth this party once held.
I would be ashamed, genuinely ashamed, to be in that party. I honestly do not know how anyone could defend using this as a means to make money.
Do the dems want to crush our military, force us to fail, subject the Iraqi 's to the various terrorist factions operating there, do they want the war to be fought on our homeland, do they care one iota about feeding soundbites to the enemy?
I think not.
They obviously put their ambition above the welfare of their nation-no way do they deserve to sit in seats of power.

Welcome to our new website!
Charm Beach Resort is a classic Thai beach resort with an authentic feel. The resort has been around for almost thirty years and is well known to the island. During this time, the bungalows and other buildings have changed, but the wonderful, relaxing beach has stayed the same.
Today the resort is a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, with classic rustic beach huts complimented with AC, WiFi and a guest swimming pool.
We hope you come to visit us on Koh Phangan, one of Thailand's most spectacular islands.
What our guests say about Charm Beach:
Stayed here for a week with my girlfriend after the full moon party. As the island started to calm down, this was the perfect setting to kick back, chill, and enjoy the great weather. The beach area is gorgeous and the location great, the staff were really friendly and helpful, organising transport for us. The fan room we stayed in was definitely basic, but it was clean and had a nice bed, we liked the rustic, castaway vibe. The pool was lovely to swim in, the food was delicious, and the beach bar was great for relaxing as the sunset. We did the yoga and boot camp they had on the beach too! Would recommend this place to anyone that loves a great atmosphere, but it's not for anyone expecting five star beach villas! We'll be back again!Simon, UK
I was looking for a Beach bungalow type resort I could relax on whilst I stayed in Koh Phangan and it ticked all those boxes for me. I liked how they had their own Massage hut which was not at all bad value considering you get the beach view, was nice to hear the sea at the same time. The staff were very chill and friendly, especially the resort dog snowy, not sure what type of dog he was, but he was super cool and hang out with me a lot, I've attached a photo so you can say hi to him too. Cheers Charm Beach for making my stay on the island pure awesome and thank you Snowy for being a fun travel buddy for a few days (haha!). For the price it was spot on, the type of island life I wanted to live and it was sad to say goodbye at the end. Would recommend to my friends and look forward to visiting again at some point in the close future.Dave, UK
This was my second time in Ko Phangan and decided to book at Charm Beach on recommendation of one of my friends. We had a beach hut which was could not have been closer to the beach and was really cosy (in fact it was so great a bat decided to spend the night on our porch which gave me a fright! :P). When staying at Charm Beach please make sure you check out the activities like boot camp or yoga which are great, go pay my friend Otto a visit at his bar on the resort and have one of his great Mai Tais for me.A recent guest, Germany

Hi there,
I'm wondering if you might have an idea as to how to change the paging icons over to thumbnails of the slides they refer to. Probably not a simple matter, but something a group I'm volunteering with really wants to implement and, having looked at the plugin, I'm not sure where exactly to start.
Many thanks,

TV flap due to Sinclair's greed
Published: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: The Mediacom/Sinclair situation is, in my opinion, simply a matter of greed on the part of Sinclair. Why Sinclair should think it is worth much more than anyone else's signal is beyond me.
Mediacom subscribers need to remember who ultimately pays the tab. If they give in to reportedly excessive demands, others will undoubtedly follow. Remember who ultimately pays for this.
I am a reluctant Mediacom subscriber, but in this case for all its problems, Mediacom is right and should hold the line to no more than any other network provider.
WLOS is not a local station, it's an Asheville station; scant attention is paid to other local areas, in my opinion.
I have contacted the ABC Network and requested that they revoke their contracts with Sinclair, as Sinclair is clearly not acting in the interests of the network or its viewers.
In the end, we, the viewers and subscribers, reluctant or not, lose again as the cost of a greatly overpriced service will only escalate.

I get a message advising I don't have permission to do that, but there is only one loging account. Whats more weird is if I edit the post I can then delete it...
Any ideas?

Or... how do you XOR doubles without getting integer results?
I am using Actionscript 3.0 and found the following:
var a:Number = 3.000000004;
var b:Number = 29.999999999;
trace ("a: " + a); //3.000000004
trace ("b: " + b); //29.999999999
a ^= b;
b ^= a;
a ^= b;
trace ("a: " + a); //29
trace ("b: " + b); //3
Clearly, the XOR operation is converting my Numbers into ints. I am a bit surprised by this and don't exactly understand the reason behind it. But I do know that other bitwise operations will also change Number into int, so I am not that surprised.
Be that as it may, is there a way to XOR doubles (aka Numbers) without having them get truncated to integers? I used the above XOR originally for performance optimization (these number switches are executed millions of times in an array). I assumed if I skipped the temporary variable, I would see a speed increase. Alas, if the Number data gets changed to int, it is all for naught.
Just wondering if there is a solution to this or if I need to give up on XOR in this case.
(ps, I won't be able to check this thread for a while, but appreciate any suggestions, knowledge, etc. in the meantime)
(pps, in case you are curious, this is the method I am trying to speed up if possible)
public static function reversePairs(values:Vector.<Number>):void {
//1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 -> 5, 6, 3, 4, 1, 2
var l:int = values.length;
var n:int = l * 0.5;
n -= n % 2;
for (var a:int = 0; a < n; a++) {
var b:int = (l - a) - 2 * ((a + 1) % 2);
//we cannot use xor because it truncates the decimal value
//values[a] ^= values[b];
//values[b] ^= values[a];
//values[a] ^= values[b];
//we MUST use a temporary variable instead
var c:Number = values[b];
values[b] = values[a];
values[a] = c;

The Nelson-Collins War On Green Jobs
Sens. Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Susan Collins (R-ME) are leading a bipartisan effort in the Senate to strip hundreds of billions of dollars from the economic recovery plan, which makes strong, job-creating investments in the public welfare, from health care to clean energy. Because of Republican threats to filibuster the bill, votes of senators like them are key to passage. But the Nelson-Collins gang's proposed cuts disproportionately harm women, children, and their future. The Wonk Room has already detailed their plan to cut support for education and health care. Nelson and Collins also looking to eliminate tens of billions of dollars in programs that would invest in a green economy:
They're also proposing cutting $750 million from NASA's exploration budget. These proposed cuts come on top of the Senate's plan to cut half the funding for the Green Jobs Act from the House-approved package. Nor have Nelson and Collins proposed to cut the $4.6 billion in support for advanced coal plant research or $50 billion in nuclear loan guarantees. Support for coal and nuclear programs would have extremely low job-creation potential and would disproportionately help industries which contribute millions of dollars to Congress.
The Apollo Alliance has an action alert: "Tell your Senators that clean energy and good jobs MUST remain a priority in the stimulus."
The specific recommendations:
– increasing funding for green-collar job training and other key workforce training programs;
– increased investments in ready-to-go transit projects and rail upgrades;
– the Feingold amendment, allowing utilities to access funds for large-scale energy efficiency projects in private buildings;
– the Udall amendment, co-sponsored by Kerry, Whitehouse and Bingaman, to increase funding for State Energy Programs;
– construction and renovation projects that prioritize energy efficiency; and
– loan guarantees for retooling factories and retraining workers to "Make it in America."
,The AAS Public Policy Blog notes that "$20 billion in research infrastructure will produce 402,000 jobs," and asks readers to "express your opinion on the funding of NASA and NSF in the stimulus bill by calling your Senators' offices."

I have several folders with Magento installations.
www/magento1 www/magento2
All of the files/folders inside of those are owned by root:magento1 and root:magento2 respectively.
I have 3755 perms for all folders, 644 for all directories to start with. That prevents anyone but root from writing to any folder or file.
Then I add in group write permissions for folders/files devs should be able to write to. E.g. they cannot write to core files, but they can write to module/skins that are non core.
That's all fine. The only thing that's not fine is that I don't want them to be able to read the mysql database username/password from magento1/app/etc/local.xml. I don't want them to have access to the database, where sensitive information is stored. I also don't want a rogue programmer to delete a bunch of tables or what have you.
But apache needs to have read access to that same file.
Here's a "solution" that doesn't work: Remove read permissions from group but leave them for others. Why? Because that prevents devs from reading from their app/etc/local.xml, but allows them to read all the others.
What do I do?
EDIT: Yes, devs = developers and they will have SSH and FTP access.

They got the ass down - Alayah Sashu and the other ladies shake well. Alayah herself also has a nice smile and decent level of enthusiasm when taking Nat Turner for a ride. The rest, well, the enthusiasm is certainly lacking, and even the jelly is barely bubbling. They generally are just going through the motions.

Lots of laughs in this due to the extreme violence and impossible situations.
Not for the faint of heart or those looking for Oscar level acting. Just as the title says it's a shoot 'em up. Anyone who watches movies knows the level of believability is out the door when it comes to guns, cars, and storyline. But it was fun to watch and would rank with any of the fast and furious genre for me if I liked watching unbelievable car tricks.
The absolute worst movie I have ever seen. Bought this in hope's of seeing some interesting guns. Didn't see anything new. The acting (if you can call it that) is right out of a cartoon, which is an insult to cartoon's. The only part of the movie that was cool was the old Lincoln the bad guy drove around in. Rating F-
The title pretty much sums up how you have to watch this movie. This is a fun-to-watch movie, filled with impossible sequences and one-liners. It's like a tribute to Die Hard like movies, just a little bit more over-the-top.
This movie was awesome from start to finish. It has alot of action and of course some of the situations are impossible but the special effects on those are totally cool. I would definitely recommend buying this movie.
The storyline is pretty thin, but the action makes this movie worth watching! Gather your friends, grab a cool beverage and prepare to sit back and just watch all the non-stop action. It's loads of fun.
this movie is perty good it has lots of action so if you like action movies i definetly recommend this movie
Shoot Em up had my attention from start to finish
It was excellent.
One of the best motion action thriller of all TIME!
i like this movie.

text: Hello. As you know, the RU metagame is not strictly limited to Pokemon in RU. Some of the biggest powerhouses in RU are not from that tier, but from the NU tier. However, many players seem afraid to expand beyond RU, and never touch NU. My goal is to bring those NU behemoths to light, and to give your RU teams more options. Remember- NUs are not NU because they are weak. They are NU cause they are not used in RU. Methinks it's time to fix that. Here is an example that, from my RU experience, can function well in the RU metagame despite its NU placement. Tauros by Phazon00 (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Tauros by Phazon00 (open) Tauros by Phazon00 (close) Tauros (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Sheer Force EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP Jolly Nature - Earthquake - Rock Slide - Fire Blast - Rock Climb Selling Points- Tauros, Tauros, Tauros. One of the biggest behemoths in NU, it can still hold its own when it steps into RU. A big selling point of this set is Tauros' brand new DW ability, Sheer Force. With this ability, Rock Slide, Fire Blast and Rock Climb get power boosts and prevent your LO recoil. This allows Tauros to do MAJOR damage to anything that wants to face it, Rock Climb especially being a very powerful move. Rock Slide and Fire Blast are its best coverage moves, with all still getting the Sheer Force Boost. However, all of these moves are slightly inaccurate. So, Earthquake makes a fantastic last option as it is 100% accurate, making it great for a revenge kill. Why use it in RU? When looking at RU, you can see many threats that go unchecked. Nidoqueen and Moltres are quite likely the two biggest threats in the metagame, yet Tauros outspeeds both and hits them hard with Zen Headbutt and Rock Slide, respectively. Let's look at some others. Kabutops is weak to EQ, Entei is weak to EQ and Rock Slide, Sceptile is not strong enough to stand up to Rock Climb, and Archeops is taken out by Rock Slide. With that many threats handled, it is a great choice! Why NOT use it in RU? But, there are always shortcomings. The big one is Poliwrath. Poliwrath can easily live one hit due to the lack of super effectiveness, and can easily set up a sub or phaze Tauros out. Tangrowth and Ferroseed can take one Fire Blast, and regains lost health with Leech Seed. Also, Accelgor can outspeed a Tauros and take it out swiftly with a Focus Blast. These problems are gigantic things to think about when using Tauros in RU. However, the Pros outweigh the cons. Tauros is a great pick for RU teams, and one that has worked well for me in the past.

RPM International's Rust-Oleum Group has acquired Krud Kutter, a marketer of specialty cleaning products for both residential and industrial markets. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Roasted Asparagus & Peppers With Feta
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
This is from the Kraft Canada website, but don't let that discourage you. It's very good and it doesn't use any of that "kid" food that I normally think of when I hear the name "Kraft". We just used normal, unflavored feta cheese, but I'll bet it would be even better with the feta specified in the recipe.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup light balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese, the type with Oregano, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Cracked Peppercorns Cheese
- Heat oven to 400ºF.
- Arrange asparagus in row on foil-covered baking sheet. Sprinkle peppers onto bottom ends of spears.
- Bake 20 minute or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Top with dressing and cheese.

Wow the taste is so good. Me and DH loved it so much. I used feta that I marinaded in dry oregano (Herb & Garlic Marinated Feta). I mixed a great quality of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar because I didn't have the dressing in bottle. Thanks Melanie :) Made for Bargain Basement tag game

Lone Star Wine & Music Tours offers quality wine tours and brewery tours, including Fredericksburg Wine tours, as well as wine tours and brewery tours throughout the Texas Hill Country. We differ from most other wine tour companies in our ability to include live Texas music as part of our tours. Also, we can honesly say no 2 tours are alike...our tours are your tours, and we go at your pace. To offer a better wine tasting experience for everyone, many wineries are requiring reservations for wine tastings. We make those arrangements for you, and will work closely with you to ensure the day is what you anticipate.

Also, if you have a group on the bus of 6 or more, we DO NOT mix groups....the tour is yours and only yours..
The idea for this business came about among great friends who simply wanted to share a day tasting local wines and enjoying time together, with no worries or cares. It was so much fun and such a hit with our group of friends, that we did it again and decide to share it with people just like you, on your schedule!

Fundraiser under way for family who lost home in fireBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | April 09,2013
CLARENDON — An outpouring of support by community members has led to a fundraising effort to help a Clarendon family of six who lost their home in a fire Monday afternoon.
Jennifer Byrne and Karen Steever quickly started to gather their resources after learning that Linda Lebel Hampton, sister Deb, brother-in-law Stephen and their three children lost all their possessions in a house fire.
By Tuesday morning, they set up an post office box so that monetary donations and gifts cards could be sent to the family. They also opened up an account at Merchants Bank that will receive direct donations.
The pair also created a page on Facebook to provide a series of updates on how the family is doing as well as specifications on what they are hoping to collect.
For household goods, the family needs three twin beds and bedding, a bed for the parents, a couch, dinning table and chairs, dishes, glasses and other assorted household items.
For clothes they are looking for sizes 7/8 for girls, 10/12 for girls, 10/12 for boys, women size 12 for pants and large size for women and for men, 42 by 34 long pant, XL shirts and chef pants too.
The house – a trailer with a second-story attachment – burned to the ground Monday afternoon after a 6-way electrical plug caught on fire.
Donations can be sent to Lebel/White Family Fund, P.O. Box 24, North Clarendon, VT 05759. Small items and clothing can be dropped off between 6-7 p.m. tomorrow at Clarendon Elementary School Chair Banquet.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

text: This is my RBY team I put together for some battles with a few friends and it's turned out quite nicely, however I am always looking for suggestions and ideas on how to improve the team. RBY UU is a very limiting format if you want to use relatively competitive pokemon so even the smallest of advantages count. Rapidash Body Slam Fire Blast Fire Spin Agility Rapidash is generally my lead due to it's speed and immediate ability to threaten with agility should it happen to force a switch on a grass type sleep inducer such as Parasect or Tanglea. Body Slam is the attack of choice here and takes advantage of Rapidash's respectable attack stat while also providing a chance at paralysis. Fire Blast is only here for the easy killing of grass types and doesn't get used all too often. Rapidash's real purpose is to set up agility and then fire spin to win when it gets the chance. Gyarados Body Slam Surf Thunderbolt Hyper Beam This guy is a powerhouse. His job is to use a combination of powerful physical/special attacks to rip holes in the enemy's team, while still being bulky enough to take hits for other more fragile sweepers I need to pull out. He also plays nicely with my Dugtrio by drawing out electric attacks to provide dugtrio with a free switch in. I used to have a Dewgong in this spot and I have to say, I've never looked back. Dugtrio Slash Earthquake Hyper Beam Sand Attack? Dugtrio is a fun pokemon as well as an excellent shock absorber. His speed also allows him to function as an effecitve revenge killer. Sure, his defenses are equivalent to that of a newborn kitten, but if dugtrio takes a hit before I allow it, it was my own fault in the first place. I've finished many games with dugtrio alive and well without ever taking a hit. It's always nice to have a high crit rate on your slash or earthquake and even hyper beam in less than ideal situations. As I mentioned before, Dugtrio plays well with Gyarados and fairly completely shuts down Jolten, the electric type my team fears. I'm also considering trying a Sandslash in this slot for some added resiliency at the loss of speed (and plus sandshrew is my favorite pokemon!). Weezing Sludge Thunderbolt Fire Blast Explosion Whereas Dugtrio dies to almost anything, Weezing can afford to take hits. This is my physical wall of choice (and it's not like he's weak specially either). I pull out the weezing when I need something to soak up damage and threaten the offending pokemon back with a strong retaliatory attack. When Weezing outlives it's usefulness or all else fails, it is always ready and willing to lay down it's life for the good of the team. Hypno Psychic Hypnosis Thunder Wave Reflect This is one pokemon I initially overlooked but upon second glance, I saw him for the gem he really is. His strong base 115 Special and pure psychic defensive typing allow me to overlook his extremely shallow offensive movepool. And when i say extremely shallow, I mean he has psychic. That's it. But that's ok. I use hypno as a hit and run pokemon that comes in to soak up the damage from special attacks and retaliate with a status effect or stab psychic on targets that don't resist it. Reflect is there in case my opponent gives me a chance to double his defense and go on a rampage. It's a real shame Hypno can't learn amnesia. Dodrio Drill Peck Body Slam Hyper Beam Agility The bird to end all birds. Stab Drill peck and normal typing make Dodrio a fearsome sweeper that will eat grass types alive and put sizable dents in anything that doesn't resist normal attacks (Basically the very few rock types that exist in UU). Hyper Beam will finish off anything wounded from relatively high health. With an agility under it's belt, there's not much that can stop this bird's rampage. Sure, you can wall Dodrio with Onix, but that means....you're playing Onix. The only ones to watch out for are Kabutops and Omastar, both of which are easily handled by Gyarados or Weezing. Well, that's the team so if you have any comments, ideas, or suggestions please leave me a post full of advice!

Finally: The "smart" gun
posted at 2:41 pm on February 19, 2014 by Allahpundit
The centerpiece of today's WaPo story, the Armatix iP1, isn't new but the fact that it's now on sale in the U.S. — at a lone gun store in California — is.
Am I right in assuming that serious gun aficionados hate this concept?
The arrival of smart-gun technology comes amid a flurry of interest in the concept from investors who think the country — after the killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and the brutal legislative battles that followed — is ready for new, innovative gun-control ideas. Last month, Ron Conway, a Silicon Valley titan and early investor in Google and Facebook, launched a $1 million X Prize-like contest for smart-gun technology…
A variety of approaches are in development. Armatix, the German company behind the iP1, uses RFID chips, which can be found on anti-theft tags attached to expensive clothing. TriggerSmart, an Irish company, also uses RFID chips, though with a ring instead of a watch. The company also has technology that would render guns inoperable if they approached electronic markers — for instance, near a school.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology is using sensors to recognize users' grips and grasping behaviors. Kodiak Arms, a Utah company, is taking pre-orders for its Intelligun, which is unlocked with fingerprints. Other companies are using voice recognition. Yardarm, a California start-up, uses a smartphone app to notify gun owners of a weapon's movement. Users can even remotely disable their weapons…
Teret and other smart-gun proponents point to a 1997 survey showing that 71 percent of Americans — and 59 percent of gun owners — favored personalization of all new handguns. Gun rights advocates, including the National Shooting Sports Foundation, cite a survey the group commissioned last year showing that only 14 percent of Americans would consider buying a smart gun.
Here's the webpage for the iP1, which not only won't fire if it's not paired with the accompanying smartwatch but can be programmed not to fire if you're aiming away from a designated target. (The clip below, which is a few years old, shows what happens when you try to fire with the watch disabled and then enabled.) If you're a parent who wants something for home protection and also wants to be 200 percent sure your kid can't stumble upon your gun and have an accident — and if you also don't mind sleeping with a watch on every night — then maybe this is for you. Or maybe not: The most obvious problem is that, if you ever did face a threat requiring you to pull, there's a chance the signal from the watch would fail and you'd be dunzo. To paraphrase an old saying, when seconds count, a new smartwatch battery is just minutes away.
But that's a practical problem. There are two theoretical problems for gun-rights advocates, I take it. One: The more mainstream smart guns become, the easier it'll be for gun-grabbers to call for banning everything but smart guns as a "compromise" position. They've always had trouble selling the assault-weapons ban because the definition of "assault weapon" is hazy and assault weapons are used in only a small fraction of gun crimes. A ban on "dumb guns," including handguns, would be clearer and more ambitious. If you want to protect your right to a "dumb gun," maybe the smart guns need to be marginalized. Two: If the point of the Second Amendment is self-defense, including the right to defend yourself against a violently oppressive government, why would you want to embed a technology in your weapon that could probably be disabled remotely by the government? At the very least, seems like it'd be easy for the feds to create a gun registry if we stuck a tiny electronic beacon in every weapon. (That'd make it easier to solve gun crimes too, but then policing does tend to be easier in a police state.) Which is to say, all the privacy concerns about the "Internet of things" would apply to smart guns too, except in this case they might have life-and-death consequences.
Am I missing something? Gun-rights supporters might be more open to smart guns as a compromise if gun-control fans had the momentum on policy, but they don't. Just the opposite.

Hey genius, why was congress empowered to grant "letters of marque and reprisal" if private citizens were not as well armed as any foreign forces they might encounter – on land or sea?
Akzed on February 19, 2014 at 3:56 PM
So you've seen a lot of letters of marque and/or reprisal in the last couple of centuries, have ya? MJBrutus on February 19, 2014 at 4:01 PM
I haven't seen the amendment repealing this clause.
More importantly, its point is that at least some citizens were assumed by the Founders to be as well armed as any soldier or Marine.

The aim of this study was to determine the threshold of fracture probability at which interventions became cost-effective in men and women, based on data from Sweden. We modeled the effects of a treatment costing $500 per year given for 5 years that decreased the risk of all osteoporotic fractures by 35% followed by a waning of effect for a further 5 years. Sensitivity analyses included a range of effectiveness (10-50%) and a range of intervention costs ($200–500/year). Data on costs and risks were from Sweden. Costs included direct costs, but excluded indirect costs due to morbidity. A threshold for cost-effectiveness of approximately $45,000/QALY gained was used. Cost of added years was included in a sensitivity analysis. With the base case ($500 per year; 35% efficacy) treatment in women was cost-effective with a 10-year hip fracture probability that ranged from 1.2% at the age of 50 years to 7.4% at the age of 80 years. Similar results were observed in men except that the threshold for cost-effectiveness was higher at younger ages than in women (2.0 vs 1.2%, respectively, at the age of 50 years). Intervention thresholds were sensitive to the assumed effectiveness and intervention cost. The exclusion of osteoporotic fractures other than hip fracture significantly increased the cost-effectiveness ratio because of the substantial morbidity from such other fractures, particularly at younger ages. We conclude that the inclusion of all osteoporotic fractures has a marked effect on intervention thresholds, that these vary with age, and that available treatments can be targeted cost-effectively to individuals at moderately increased fracture risk.

text: intro: Hey you guys won't know me, as on Saturday was my first competitive tournament playing Pokemon. The reason i'm on this forum is that my friend said it was a good way to get feed back and learn about new Pokemon strategy.I have only been playing competitive Pokemon for about a week now and there was allot to learn about the meta-game. Meaning this week was pure study and hard work, thankfully i had friends knowing what they where doing and teaching me and then amazingly helped me RNG my team. My Team: Terakion-Chopple berry Chandelure-choice scarf Thunderus-electric gem Mieanshao-flight gem Whimsicott-focus sash Jellicent-AH about that i managed to have 2 scarfs in my team due to late minute team changing meaning this Pokemon was illegal not getting me through a hack check making me panic then learning and noticing this as none of judges can read !!!!!! so it had no item in the end lol. 1st round: I sat down having friend ruled 4 of my friends making sure we didn't knock each other out. Any way i look up and i see in-front of me a girl who tells me in her words "i'm running this trick room thing and i'm not sure what to do". I smile and start playing picking Mienshao and Whimsicott to lead and the proceed to fake out and taunt both her Pokemon then switching to Terrakion and sweeping her team went well felt a bit sorry for the girl but oh well i stood up seeing one of my friends being knocked out and walked to the next line meeting my other 2 freinds. 2nd round: I get placed against some guy who sits down tell's me he got to the top 8 last year and cant wait to get there again. I think great with his experience i have no chance at all. I see his pokemon 2 genies, Chandaluer, Skrafty, Terrakion and Jelicent. I think good stuffs as soon as i see it so i go for my combo.I lead with Terrakion and Whisicott he leads with dual genies, in my head i think WTF ok. I go beat up Terrakion rock slide and then say to him "its a one hit wonder" he did not look amused. He then sent out Chandaluer and Skrafty so i rockslided again and he protected with his Scrafty this then confused me as i killed his Chandaluer in cold blood and his Scrafty just sat there and watched seemed a bit mean i then next turn performed close combat killing the Scarfty he laughed stood up shook my head and walked off. I then stand up walk over to the next line seeing that i am the last one of my group left. 3rd round I sit down and the guy says "yo" i say "LETS DO THIS THING" i love people who play Pokemon such a social bunch XD. We start to play hes pritty much playing helping hand i recorded this battle as it was the one i lost. i will link it later over youtube as it was amazing lol. The only thing i can see is that mans luck was amazing the final round came down to me with Terrakion AND Whimsicott against his Whimsicott and Scatfty which was one on 4 life and the other on 15 life i go rock slide to win he even stands up to shake my hand and it misses i go "good game and shake his hand instead" BAD LUCK IS BAD. So all in all with all 5days of experience of how the game works the different types and teams and also how to run my own for the amount of time ive been playing i think i did pretty damn good for my first ever VGC and competitive Pokemon tournament. AND REMEBER KIDS TOASTER TOAST TOAST !!!!!
