Curious Creature
He isn't quite certain what she is, nor is he entirely certain where he is or how he got there. All that he's really sure of is that is most definitely a curious creature.
She was a curious creature, to say the least. He'd never seen anything quite like her, perched on the amethyst crystal like a delicate china ornament, almost appearing to give off a strange, purple glow. The short, straight mop of hair atop her head looked black, and wonderfully soft to touch, and the flimsy black and purple wings sprouting from her back gave her the appearance of an oversized butterfly. The short black dress she wore revealed a significant amount of pale, porcelain skin that looked so smooth he wondered if his fingers could sink into it. And those big, shimmering violet eyes, framed by feathery dark lashes, were almost heart-stopping.
"Are you lost, bec?" She asked kindly in a calm, melodic voice.
He gazed around. "I think so," he answered, even though he knew damn well that he was lost; there was no 'think' around it.
"Which way did you come in?" She quizzed.
"Umm…" He turned this way and that, looking for the direction he might have come from. "Forgive me, but I'm not entirely sure. There was a forest… with really big toadstools… and they were glowing… and then I was here, but I don't know how."
She tilted her head to the side questioningly. "Really? A youngster like you is allowed to wonder the Spritewood alone?"
He shook his head. "I'm not allowed," he explained, "I was running away."
"Oh were you?" She asked. "What were you running from?"
He opened his mouth to answer, only to realise he couldn't remember. "I don't know," he finally replied.
There was a questioning look burning in her purple eyes. Or was it the light of the amethyst cave that made them purple? He couldn't tell. He felt like he should be unnerved by her, but at the same time he felt somewhat relaxed, not like she was a stranger at all.
"How did you get that?" She asked, her eyes on his cheek.
He frowned, and reached up to touch it. It burned angrily and he winced, realising he had a wound slicing down from just below his temple to an inch to the left of his lip.
"I don't remember," he answered. He wondered if it was why he'd run away.
She continued to look at him quizzically. "You really should get home," she told him, "It's not wise to be around these parts. Someone might see you and think you're up to no good, and if they think that you might as well call yourself a corpse."
"So what are you doing here?" He asked.
"Me?" She smirked. "I'm on the run too."
"From what?"
"Oh, just my government," she answered, "They aren't particularly fond of people of my trade."
She stood up, revealing herself to be just over two feet tall, and extended a hand towards him.
"Come on; I'll take you home," she said.
He stared at her hand. "What's your trade?"
"Frowned upon," she answered simply. "Come on, don't be shy; I won't bite you."
As she said it, he noticed that the teeth she'd hidden behind her full black lips were small, pointed and razor-sharp-looking. It sent a shiver down his spine. She laughed, a melodic, sing-song laugh.
"I promise, I don't eat elves," she explained, "I'll just take you back to the Spritewood and then I'll disappear."
Once again, he turned his eyes to her outstretched palm. While trusting a bizarre creature of whose existence he'd never known until today seemed outrageously foolish, he realised there wasn't really a better option. Either trust her, or stay here in the shimmering purple cave indefinitely. And if what she'd said was true, about calling himself a corpse, he'd rather take his chances with her.
He took her hand. To his surprise, it was warm against his skin, and softer than phoenix down. She smiled pleasantly, this time keeping her fangs concealed.
And then the cave simply vanished, and was replaced by emerald green grass, towering oak trees and giant, indigo-spotted purple mushrooms; the Spritewood.
"See, that wasn't so difficult, was it?" She asked.
"Thank you," he replied. Although he still couldn't remember why he had come here in the first place.
"I should leave," she stated, "I am an unwelcome guest in this woodland."
"Why?" He asked.
She gave a mysterious smile, her eyes, now clearly violet in the gently glinting sunlight, shimmering with dark knowing.
"Surely, even in your daze, you know the answer to that, bec," she answered with a smirk.
He tried to think, but it didn't make sense. Why was she unwelcome? Did the woodland creatures find her disturbing? He couldn't help but wonder whether her appearance alarmed others as much as it had alarmed him when he'd first seen her. She was a curious creature, after all.
And then, from what seemed like nowhere, an arrow struck her shoulder. She cried out and stumbled backwards, clutching at the wound. He turned around to find the source of the arrow, and gasped.
The elfman riding towards them was clad in leather armour and had already loaded a second arrow into his mahogany bow. His long, white-blonde hair streamed behind him as the white horse cantered through the forest towards them, and a look of anger was scrawled across his face.
And there were more of them; more elves riding on horses towards them, six or seven of them, all cantering towards where they were stood, bows and arrows raised. Panic rose in his throat and something told him to run. But he stood in front of her, shielding her from the arrows, and cried out to the oncoming cavalry.
"Stop!" He bellowed. "She's not dangerous! She's-"
But before he could finish, she leader was yelling back at him.
"Get out of the way, son! Get out of our way!"
"Then lower your weapons!" He cried. "Please, just leave her alone! She-"
And then all he saw was a flash of purple bolting over his shoulder, so fast his eyes could barely keep up with it. It paused for a split second in front of the leader, and for that split second he saw her, scimitar in her hand. But then she was a flash of purple light once more, and the elf cried out as blood gushed from his face.
"Damned pixie!" He yelled, firing another arrow furiously after the purple light, rage carved onto his face like it might never come off. The bolt of light darted between the trees and disappeared into the darkness of the forest.
He watched after it, uncertain what to feel about the events. The past few minutes had been most peculiar, and now it felt like he was slowly beginning to awaken from a bizarre and wonderful dream. Had she been real?
The leader drew up level with him and dismounted his horse. He still held a murderous look in his silver-blue eyes, but he had replaced his bow on his back. Now he turned his wrathful glare on his son.
"What have I told you about coming to the Spritewood?" He snarled.
The son continued to gaze through the trees, taking no notice of his father's words. "What was that?" He asked calmly.
"That," the father growled, "Was a damned pixie. Thieving, murderous scoundrels the lot of them."
"She was friendly," the son answered, "She took me back here."
"What do you mean, she took you back?" The father snapped. "Where did you go that required you to be chaperoned back here, of all places?"
"I'm not entirely sure," the son replied, "It was a beautiful cave. I must say, I'm not quite certain it exists at all. Perhaps I was nowhere."
With minimal warning, a hand struck the back of his head and he dropped to the ground with a yelp. Before he had even hit the forest floor he could feel his head beginning to swell as his brain throbbed from the impact.
"Foolish child! Foolish, ignorant coward!"
The child barely heard his father's words. He knew it was hopeless to get up; he'd only receive another blow. He could feel the cut on his cheek bleeding, and he realised it had been ripped open when he'd cried out. His mind began to feel fuzzy and his vision started to blur. Words and woodland sounds merged into one single monotonous drone filling his ears as his sight failed him.
His last thoughts were of a pale girl with black hair and purple wings laced with black, holding a scimitar, a malicious smirk on her face.
She was most certainly a curious creature.

Evergreen Bank (IL) Adds 6-Month Money Market Rate Guarantee
Yesterday, Chicagoland DA reader, miked, posted in the Forum about Evergreen Bank Group's (EBG) Money Market Special that guarantees 1.05% APY on $25k+ balances for 180 days. New money is required to qualify for the promotional rate. Balances between $2,500 and $9,999 earn 0.35% APY, with balances between $10,000 and $24,999 earning 0.45% APY.
The Fine Print
- Promotional rate requires new money.
- Account balances falling below $2,500 will result in a 0.00% APY.
- Minimum opening deposit is $2,500, with no stated balance cap.
- If the ledger balance should fall below $2,500 during the statement cycle, a $15 fee will apply.
- If the account is closed within 180 days of opening, a $150 closing fee will be assessed.
- Following the initial 180 days, the account will convert to a Cornerstone Money Market.
|Evergreen Bank Group
|Cornerstone Money Market
|OTHER TIERS: 0.20% → $2,500 - $10k | 0.30% → $10k - $25k
Thanks to DA reader, miked, for his continued monitoring of Chicagoland deals and offerings.
Headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, Evergreen Bank Group's primary market area is the Chicago metropolitan area, aka "Chicagoland."
The advertisement for the Money Market Special in the Chicago Tribune only mentions the new branch in the Grant Square Shopping Center (Hinsdale). CSR confirmed that the Money Market Special is also available at either of the two established suburban Chicago branches, which are located in Evergreen Park and Oak Brook.
The fine print includes a rather unusual statement:
Evergreen Bank Group reserves the right to limit the use of its Golf Simulator to bank customers.
EBG's new Grant Square branch offers a coffee house, shoe shine service, community room, and a Golf Club, complete with Golf Simulator. Rather than thumbing through old magazines, you can work on your golf swing as you wait for any paper work to be completed.
Bank Overview
Evergreen Bank Group (FDIC Certificate # 35230) has an overall health grade of "A" at DepositAccounts.com, with a Texas Ratio of 2.50% (excellent) based on September 30, 2016 data. In the past year, EBG has increased its total non-brokered deposits by $42.92 million, an excellent annual growth rate of 7.14%. Please refer to our financial overview of Evergreen Bank Group for more details.
Evergreen Bank Group was established in 1999 as Evergreen Community Bank, and has become one of the Chicago area's most profitable community bank, thanks to its unusual and highly successful national motorcycle lending business. A Business Wire August 2015 press release stated,
Evergreen Bank Group ("Evergreen"), with the support of Polaris Industries Inc. ("Polaris",
NYSE: PII), announced that on September 1, 2016, Evergreen will launch a new lending
division, Performance Finance, exclusively focused on the financing of Polaris motorcycle
and Slingshot products. Evergreen will operate the Performance Finance division out of its
Reno, Nevada facility, in connection with a multi-year retail financing contract with Polaris.
How the Money Market Special Compares
When compared to the Money Market Accounts tracked by DepositAccounts.com that are available to Chicagoland residents, Evergreen Bank Group's Money Market Special APY currently ranks fourth, regardless of minimum deposit.
The above rates are accurate as of 1/13/2017.

Critic's Corner Monday: 'Bachelorette,' 'Carnal Innocence'
•Let me see if I have this right. We're supposed to be concerned, or at least intrigued, because Ashley is showing bad romantic judgment on The Bachelorette (ABC, tonight, 8 ET/PT)?
She's on this show; how much worse can your judgment get? It was possible to feel sorry for the first few contestants on this faded-rose trashfest because they could claim they had no idea what they were letting themselves in for.
But now? You're on your own.
•The title of Lifetime's movie, Carnal Innocence (8 ET/PT), might make you think it was based on the Bachelor franchise.
But "Innocence" is the name of the town where a woman (Burn Notice's Gabrielle Anwar) goes to rest, only to run across a serial killer. Colin Egglesfield and Shirley Jones co-star in the film, which is based on a book by romance novelist Nora Roberts.
•There are all sorts of romance. For example, on American Pickers (History, 9 ET/PT), the guys fall in love with an Airstream trailer.

Why 2014 will be one of Lexus' most important years in the company's history
1989 was the first year that Americans could buy a Lexus. In 1998 Lexus again set a milestone in place with its amazing RX 300 which has become its leading seller in the premium crossover segment. In 2014 Lexus will break new ground again by adding a completely new compact crossover called the LF-NX to its line. This new car is hitting the market just as the US warms up to smaller, sporty, premium crossovers. Lexus will also begin selling the new RC 350 sports coupe targeted squarely at the BMW 428i. Finally, Lexus is teasing its fans mercilessly with a new sports car called simply "F" which we think is uprated version of the RC that may have as much as 450 horsepower.
2013 Was a pretty amazing year for Lexus. The new IS 350 and IS 250 have surpassed all expectations. Not only did the cars double the sales volume of that already existing model, but the IS 350 bested the BMW 3 Series in multiple matchups in leading automotive publications (including this one). The IS shares much of its platform, suspension and drivetrain components with the also successful GS 350. The GS is larger than the IS and it was pretty much dead in the water until a redesign lifted it out of the doldrums and made it a viable car for Lexus. Now the new RC 350, and likely the "F", will share much of the GS/IS content. That means Lexus can share the cost and boost its profitability on all of these models, which sell in relatively low numbers compared to mainstream cars like Toyota's Camry, but at literally twice the sticker price.
The 2014 LF-NX will be even more significant to Lexus. Lexus has for decades owned the top spot in the luxury crossover market with the RX 350 and its hybrid sibling. However, by size, that market is smaller than the compact luxury crossover segment will soon be. The new LF-NX will compete with BMW's X3 (not the obscure X1 as many publications mistakenly state). Lexus will likely price the new LF-NX close to the RX 350 and start to bump the RX up in size, price, and content to make space between the models. The smaller LF-NX will have the Toyota RAV 4 and Lexus RX models from which to source unseen components and should prove extremely profitable for Lexus. More importantly, the LF-NX will be the first year of a 2.0 liter turbo at Lexus. This engine will soon migrate to other models throughout the Toyota family.

Whole Foods supermarkets says it has fired nine store managers in the Mid-Atlantic region for manipulating a bonus program to their benefit.
Brooke Buchanan, a spokeswoman for Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods Market Inc., said they were dismissed in recent weeks after a company-wide investigation.

We are hosting three all day extravaganzas at Star Creek Ranch this spring! This is your chance to come out and see the property whatever way you prefer! We are allowing both hiking and mountain biking (yes, the roads are big enough for everyone!) and also offering a shuttle that will be circling the perimeter to pick up and drop off those that are ready for a lift back to their cars.
A few things to know, before you go:
1. This is a MEMBERS ONLY event. Members are welcome to bring as many guests that will fit into their vehicle.
2. Please only sign up for one of the dates so that we can give all of our members a chance to see this beautiful property you helped protect!
3. The only entrance to the property is via a one lane road that is three miles long. Due to this factor we have to designate arrival and departure times. Members may arrive anytime between 9am and noon, and may depart any time between 1pm and 5pm.
4. Trail maps will be provided. Members will have the choice of a variety of trails that vary in length and terrain. We have planned 4-5 self-guided tours.
5. Bring your own picnic, including a blanket, to enjoy along the path or at a vista. If you do decide to bring your own food and drink, this is a "pack it in, pack it out" event. We will not provide trash cans.
6. Sorry, no dogs.
7. Members will meet us at Star Creek Ranch. Once you turn off of the highway, it is a three mile drive on a dirt road. You do not need 4-wheel drive, though we do suggest you come in a vehicle with an average clearance of 6 inches. We tested a mini cooper, and it was a very close call!
8. There will not be a shuttle or a carpool leaving from the Land Trust office. Everyone is to meet out at the property.
9. You must have a ticket to attend this event.
Directions: From Highway 1 (north or south)
- Drive to Watsonville on Highway 1
- Take Riverside Drive/Highway 129 East. Once you exit the freeway, continue on Riverside Drive/Highway 129 INLAND (away from the ocean). You will be traveling EAST.
- Drive 10.5 miles – you will go through downtown Watsonville, and then pass a lot of farmland.
- At 10.5 miles, you will see Land Trust signs directing you to turn left off of the highway. There is no name for the road you will turn onto, but we will mark it with signs.
- If you reach Old Chittenden Road, you have gone too far.
You won't want to miss this!

The Frensham Lark fleet contains previous National Champions and is of a high standard.
Racing is well supported every weekend and several members also take their boats on the 'open meeting' circuit.
Larks are light, fast racing boats with mainsail, jib and symmetrical spinnaker. Used by University sailing clubs for team-racing, the Lark is extremely responsive and competition is fierce. The design has had two major upgrades since it was first developed by Mike Jackson in 1966. The latest 'Mk. III' Rondar Lark was introduced in 2000, is very stiff and virtually dry when righted after a capsize. Spinnaker handling is made easy as the boats have an opening in the foredeck called a 'spinnaker chute' from which the spinnaker is launched and subsequently recovered. Construction is low-maintenance FRP/GRP although a few older boats have wooden decks.

Gene-sequencing company Illumina late Monday beat analysts' estimates for the eighth quarter in a row, sending shares up 6.5% in after-hours trading.
Illumina (ILMN) reported a third-quarter profit of 45 cents a share, up 10% from the year-earlier quarter and 4 cents above analysts' consensus, according to Thomson Reuters. Sales jumped 25% to $357 million, some $13 million more than expected.
The company also raised its full-year guidance, despite speculation on Wall Street that the government shutdown had hit some of its customers. It now expects 22% revenue growth — from $1.15 billion last year — and EPS of $1.72 to $1.77, up from $1.59 last year.
Earlier on Monday, Illumina announced a new deal with the University of Cambridge and Genomics England to sequence 10,000 whole genomes of children and adults with rare genetic diseases. It's a pilot program for the British National Health Service's plan to sequence 100,000 genomes.
The news went a ways toward soothing some of the Street's anxieties, which had been putting some volatility in the stock since it hit an all-time high of 85.81 on Sept. 16. By Oct. 9, Illumina stock had dropped below 73. It rebounded quickly, however, helped partly by a price-target increase and reassuring note from Cowen analyst Doug Schenkel.
Schenkel wrote on Oct. 11 that the stock's drop seemed to be due to a variety of factors, among them worries that the federal government's shutdown would reduce business from customers who depend on funds from the National Institutes of Health. He estimated, however, that this would affect only 3% to 5% of sales.
The company had also warned of a seasonal slowdown in some product lines, but Schenkel wrote that momentum seemed to be growing for the HiSeq gene sequencer as well as the Verinata prenatal testing business.
That was borne out by Monday's reported product revenue, which accounted for much of the sales beat. Analysts' consensus called for $307 million, but Illumina beat that by some $11 million. Services account for the other revenue.
On a conference call with analysts, Illumina CEO Jay Flatley said sales were strong across all geographies and in most product lines.
Flatley said that 45% of shipments were to commercial, nonprofit and hospital customers, a step toward the firm's longer-term goal of getting 50% of sales from such "applied markets" in order to reduce dependence on government funding.
"While the (government) shutdown was very unfortunate for a few of our customers, we've not seen a material impact on spending patterns," Flatley said. "Importantly, for most customers, external funding was flowing as expected during the shutdown. With the government now open and operating under a continuing resolution, we're seeing customary purchasing patterns."
In a letter to shareholders last week, Flatley outlined the company's plan to rearrange its business units.
Currently, the company divides reported sales into products and services, with products divided into four types.
Its new structure will align with its key markets. The company will appoint a new president (now one of Flatley's jobs), and will create five business divisions: life sciences, reproductive and genetic health (which will incorporate Verinata Health, acquired earlier this year), oncology, enterprise informatics, and new and emerging markets.
On the call, Flatley said the changes "will help us continue our growth in existing markets, take the next steps into new markets, and further catalyze the use of our technologies in the clinic. We've better aligned our business units with our customers, centralized core cross-company functions, and consolidated our commercial channels."
He said the company would update investors on the progress of this plan next year.

Blackmagic Design announces Super-35 4K camera with global shutter
Blackmagic Design has announced the Production Camera 4K, a Super-35 format, 4K-capable camera with global shutter for smooth panning and image motion. The company says it will cost $3995. It can capture footage in Apple ProRes 422 HQ or losslessly compressed CinemaDNG Raw - promising 12-stops of dynamic range. The camera is built around a Canon EF mount and an internal SSD recorder to cope with the data rates. Blackmagic says it will be available from July 2013.
The camera features the latest 6G-SDI connector that allows single-cable transfer. It also includes a Thunderbolt connector and the same degree of remote control, via LANC, as the Blackmagic Compact Cinema Camera also announced today.
The global shutter means it captures the entire frame at the same moment, rather than reading the sensor one line at a time - avoiding the distorted verticals that can occur with fast moving subjects or whip pans.
Blackmagic Design Announces Blackmagic Production Camera 4K
NAB 2013, Las Vegas, USA - April 8, 2013 - Blackmagic Design today announced Blackmagic Production Camera 4K, a new high resolution 4K digital film camera with an innovative large Super 35 size sensor with professional global shutter, combined with precision EF mount optics and high quality Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) file recording for only US$3,995.
Blackmagic Production Camera 4K will be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design NAB 2013 booth at #SL218.
The latest high end televisions and video projectors support Ultra HD, which is four times the resolution of regular HD video. The Blackmagic Production Camera 4K shoots to high quality compressed CinemaDNG RAW and ProRes 422 (HQ) files in 4K, giving customers a complete solution to shoot the most amazing high resolution music videos, episodic television production, television commercials, sports, documentaries, news stories, interviews and feature films.
The new Blackmagic Production Camera 4K also supports the new 6G-SDI video connection out so it can be used on live video production.
Blackmagic Production Camera 4K has been designed with portability and durability in mind. With standard connections and an internal battery packed inside a beautiful machined aluminum design, the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K will easily handle the rigors of location work. A high resolution LCD display shows settings such as shutter speed, color temperature, aperture and timecode in an easy to read status strip. The built in capacitive touchscreen offers direct access to menus with a touch of the finger and allows changing settings such as recording format, shutter angle and more. The touchscreen also allows users to enter important metadata that is compatible with popular video editing software including Final Cut Pro X.
With a large Super 35 size sensor, cinematographers get familiar framing and behavior from the lenses they already own. This camera sensor features a global shutter and its large size allows minimal crop factor so cinematographers get nice wide angle shots from their wide angle lenses. When working in HD customers can use the high resolution images to reframe and zoom into shots without any quality loss.
With the built in EF compatible lens mount there is a wide choice of optics to take advantage of the large Super 35 size sensor without cropping. Cinematographers get the choice of the world's most amazing optics from leading lens crafters like Canon, Zeiss and more, with full electronic control. The EF compatible lens mount means customers are not locked into a specific lens and even professional cinema lenses with EF mount with professional rails and follow focus accessories can be used.
The Blackmagic Production Camera 4K easily captures 4K in compressed CinemaDNG RAW and ProRes 422 (HQ) using the built in high speed SSD recorder. Once the shoot has wrapped, the disk can be connected to a computer for editing or color correction of the shots straight from the disk, which can be formatted in either HFS+ or ExFAT for Mac and Windows compatibility. In addition to the regular CinemaDNG RAW format, Blackmagic Design will also implement a QuickTime wrapper for the open standard CinemaDNG and companion codec, allowing the camera to record in a format that allows RAW editing in popular editing software.
The wide dynamic range of the Super 35 sized sensor can be mapped into the quantizing range of the file so you can color grade shots to allow greater detail in highlights and shadows. When working fast, the customer can also record to regular Rec. 709 video files.
Blackmagic Production Camera 4K uses standard connections, so customers do not need to worry about sourcing custom cables. The camera features 6G-SDI output that can be down-converted to HD or used for amazing quality Ultra HD video. In addition, the device includes a built-in Thunderbolt port and UltraScope software for real time waveform monitoring. For audio you get 1/4" jack mic/line inputs plus 12V to 30V DC input, a 3.5mm headphone socket and LANC remote control. And with a built-in uncompressed audio recorder you can eliminate post audio synching altogether.
"Customers have been asking us to design a camera with global shutter and a large sensor. With the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K we have delivered that, plus the high resolution needed for the latest Ultra HD production work," said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. "This is a very exciting camera and it produces amazing looking pictures that we are sure everyone will love. It's going to allow Ultra HD programming to be simple and easy!"
Blackmagic Production Camera 4K Key Features
- Large high resolution 4K Super 35 mm sized sensor with superior handing of image detail.

I saw the first Black Magic camera demonstrated with a pretty standard EFS lens, and I just thought it looked lovely. Most impressed by the picture control in Da Vinci. I didn't get out my (metaphorical) cheque book then and I am glad I waited. For me, the larger sensor, the global shutter and the pedigree of the first model are enough for me to invest here. Have you actually thought that for an extremely reasonable sum of money, we are all film makers now. Canon 1dc is in serious trouble at over twice the price.
If people bothered to to be informed of cinema quality cameras they wouldn't make absurd comments like "why not micro 4/3 mount. It's almost like saying I want a Ferrari with a 1.6 Lada engine-sorry Lada-. Cinematic cameras need cinematic quality lenses to exploit it's potential. EF mount doesn't exist only for EF stills cameras and lenses. There are Canon cine-lenses with EF mount or PL mount. How many cinema-optimized micro 4/3 lenses exist? You don't want someone invest in manufacturing a high performing piece of equipment then watch it abandoned by the market do you?
Yeah, but with adaptors you can also use adaptors for EF or PL mount, as well as numerous other mounts that EF can't support, so why would you want EF natively?
A couple of years ago when Panasonic and Olympus first released their first Micro 3/4's in 2008, I would have agreed with you on that.
Almost 5 years later, they're still around, and people are starting to purchase them more and more each year. People want something smaller than an SLR, but better quality then an Extended point and shoot.
With the mirror-less camera line-ups increasing, each year. Well.. I think the sales can more or less speak for themselves with that.
The second obvious point would be Canon joining the mirror-less race, with their: "EOS M" this year.
Source: I work selling cameras for a living.
"How many cinema-optimized micro 4/3 lenses exist?" did you forget about the entire Ziess CP.2 line? or the Rokinons, or ANY PL mount lens including the canons? the MFT mount is ideal for cinema cameras because of the short flange distance, which means you can use the excellent (some of them just are, deal with it) MFT lenses or lieca, or PL, or EF, or F, or 4/3rds, or...etc, etc. With an EF flange distance you are limited by using only stills optimized lenses. Not to mention that most cine lenses are PL mount and sized for academy 35 (super 35) and NOT for 35 mm still. super 35 is actually closer to MFT than stills 35. The EF mount is a LIMITER, not an ENABLER...though it does give you electronic iris, for what its worth..not that a cine shooter would prefer that over properly calibrated manual lenses, but...there you have it.
Oselimg's been pwned, as they say.
Oselimg, it's time to relearn what you thought you knew about M4/3.
superb camera for sure and superb price but...but...why ef mount and not micro four third? i mean micro four third has small lenses natively and most of all thousand of cheap adapter...im a pentax user and micro 43...i could have used all my 40 lenses and buy also canon nikon cinematic lenses...now if i want this camera i must invest in a completely new arsenal of lenses...i think ill buy the normal camera
My guess is that will likely come out with MFT mount version later on. The EF version is probably just way more popular.
Sadly, The MFT image circle is smaller than the Super 35 area, so it would vignette some, you could crop to 2.5k, but then why not get the 2.5k camera with MFT mount. I still think they should offer it because of the short flange, but it would need to be able to crop internally to be useful with MFT lenses.
If this delivers, Canon Cinema EOS cameras are dead.
BMCC has delivered a few cameras amid many hiccups in their launch but Canon is still selling more in a day than they have in their history.
dead ...really ...then you may try a Chery J1 with 1.3l engine as well !!
We all love specs but the real proof will be in delivering cameras AND overcoming a number of compromises that the (few) users of the first BMCC noted. Real world useability to make the specs actually measure up to their promise is what matters.
Whoa, this is really great!
This will significantly pry away the buyers of DSLRs with movie functions.
Canon has foreseen these things and is fist off the blocks.
A $3.995 pro movie camera.
Others will surely follow in this category... (this is where Sony might just well overtake Nikon)
Now I just need a 4k display that I can afford. Hopefully, with gopro and others making releases, we will see that happen soon.
Sucks to be anyone who bought the EF mount 2.5k first version...
This is what they should have started with in the first place.
"This is what they should have started with in the first place."
The (comparatively cheap) technology just wasn't available back then. 4K capture at 30p requires very expensive chipsets - no wonder consumer-priced products (the GoPro 3 Black Edition) only captures at 12/15 fps.
understandable.. by "back then" you make it sound like it was decades ago, we're talking a mere 12-18 months.
All i', saying what its a massive slap in the face to anyone who purchased the ef version 2.5k, gotta love that 2.3 crop factor...
I agree it's quite soon after BlackMagic Cinema camera was released, but presumably they needed the sales from that product to fund development or demonstrate the market for this product. Due to the low cost of the whole BlackMagic line this is hardly a slap in the face, owners of the existing camera can sell up and acquire a 4K device for a cost that was unthinkable 2 years ago.
'tis a massive slap in the face for anyone who shelled out 3x the price for the non-RAW recording Canon 1DC though ;)
"Massive slap in the face ...": Compare it to what Leica did to their guinea-pig-M8 owners when presenting the M9.
Global shutter is a big deal. I hope we see them in DSLRS soon. They will be silent, and able to sync any shutter speed. Shutter speeds of 1/20,000 plus will also be possible.
Not likely to happen. The sensors on DSLRs are designed for shooting still photos upwards to 40,000 pixels. This one is designed to shoot 4,000 pixels of video (oversimplification, I know.) To get a global shutter on a DSLR sensor they'd still have to skip lines and would need tons of bandwidth if they didn't. I'm glad they're doing this. It draws a more distinct line between still and motion cameras.
Heck, Canon's first pro DSLR, the EOS-1Dinosaur, had a CCD chip, which allows for global shuttering. All high shutter speeds were electronic. It had 1/16,000 as the fastest! There was no real flash sync limit, either ... except that you'd "clip" your flash pulse, albeit with the frame illuminated corner to corner!
@Ken Phillips,
Re Canon EOS-1Dinasaur (I love that!! Too funny!! :o)
It does have a flash sync limit.
It's limited to 1/500 secs with a Canon flash, and will do 1/2500 with a standard ISO foot flash.
I still have the cam, and love it's light AA sensor filter, it's very fast flash sync, and fastest shutter speed of a whopping 1/16000 which means there's hardly ever any need for an ND filter; just a shame about the low 4Mpix resolution, at least 6Mpix would have been cool.
This is a very cool camera with pretty much no competition in this price range right now.
Yes, but they were not able to deliver previous black magic camera even an year after the supposed delivery date.
BH still doesn't have it
Perhaps they resolved that issue this time.
guys keep in mind some peeps are still waiting for their preordered old BM cam .... from april 2012th
Proof of why camera manufacturers should focus on getting their products into customers hands instead of spending all their time boasting about how good something only to make it obsolete 6 months later.
Love this statement. im sick and tired of the bigger camera manufacturers bragging about specs and over pricing their products out of the hands of the the majority consumer.
Lets see if their price will still stay in the $15,000 high.
A wise man once said to me, 'It is better to have 1% ao everyones effort than 100% of mine alone'. Translation, GREEDY market leaders! We are the 1% you have neglected thats worth more than all you've had!
Way to go BlackMagic for seeing to otherwise.
It will ship in July, I guarantee it. None of the issues with shipping the current camera were Blackmagic's fault, it was the sensor company sending out bad batches and then taking forever to fix the issue. This camera has a sensor from a completely different company, and the camera is identical to the BMCC (aside from the sensor and 4K sticker on the front). And plus I doubt they would risk being late on shipping again after all the issues with the original. It's smart on their part, they know it's going to be hard to sell the BMCC with this available, so they are taking the BMCC bodies, adding the new sensor, and taking the old sensors and putting them in the new Pocket Cinema camera. Really a genius move on their part. Only people getting kinda screwed are the people that actually had their preorders fulfilled. I'm so glad I passed on mine, I preordered both the BMPC and the Pocket Cam and am confident they will be here at the end of July as promised.

It's true that there are so many cheap surgery services that have been offered on the internet. However, some of them might be the unlicensed ones that could also be a fraud plastic surgeon Michele A Shermak MD. You need to choose a plastic surgeon carefully in order to find the right and professional, licensed surgeon just like Michele A Shermak MD. She is the top plastic surgeon in Baltimore.
Here are the reasons of why you need to avoid the unlicensed plastic surgeons:
1. Scams
They could be the scam plastic surgeons who've just after your money, and they don't care about the result of the surgery. These scam artists will likely to run away after they've got the big money from you and find another place to get more victim.
2. Inexperienced
The unlicensed plastic surgeons could be the inexperienced ones. There is no authentic record that indicated how long they've been around in the business.
3. Bad implants
The unlicensed ones might provide you with the bad and cheap selection of implants. These cheap implants could break in your body easier and could be dangerous for your health as well.

Like most Microsofties, I flirt with information overload almost on a daily basis. One of the things that you must learn how to do when you start at Microsoft is how to determine what information is relevant and important, what's relevant but not necessarily something you need to deal with right now, what's informational and what's noise. The most common information source is almost always email. It's drastically reduced the cost and increased the ease of communication. But this a double-edged sword. You get the information you need but you also get a lot of noise. How you manage the email you receive is key to not drowning in information overload. For me, that's where categories, inbox rules and tasks come in.
I get lots of mail. On a daily basis I typically get about 700-800 messages. Luckily that number consists of various types of mail that range from stuff I need to look at right away to things that are simply discussions that might be interesting but I don't need to see. Like pretty much everyone else, I use inbox rules to route email to folders rather than my inbox when I don't need to see that mail right away (I also classify my folders into Exchange related, business related and 'other'). That deals with about 80% of the mail I get. For mail that I do need to see and triage directly (sent either to me or to groups that are highly relevant), I don't redirect to folders but rather leave it in my inbox and use categories to color-code those messages so I can easily triage that mail. Finally for mail that I've read and need to take action on, I use tasks to ensure that I don't lose track of them.
Most people I know use inbox rules and tasks quite extensively so I'm not going to talk about them much. Rules pre-triage mail by sorting it into folders you specify (among other things) and tasks enable you to keep track of things you need to do. However they don't help you with the mail that's sitting in your Inbox waiting to be triaged by you. That's where categories come in. I'm writing this post because very few people I know use categories. They're immensely useful for helping to triage the mail that I receive.
Categories in Outlook 2007 are essentially (they way I think about it) a color-coding and tagging system to help you organize messages. You can use categories:
- as a visual cue to easily and quickly determine who messages are from or to, what project they belong to, whether they're personal or business related or anything else you feel is important to you
- to perform quick searches for all messages assigned a given category
- to set up dedicated search folders that auto-populate with the categories you specify
In my mail I have configured my categories as follows:
- from my manager
- I'm in the To or Cc line
- I'm the only recipient
- they're personal
- they're part of a product specification review
- to my team's distribution group
- to the Exchange product group distribution group
- to the User Education (my group) distribution group
- a few other things
As messages arrive in my mailbox, Inbox rules run to not only determine which folder a messages should be placed in but also to determine whether messages should be given a category. Below is an example of an Inbox rule that categorizes messages based on a rule condition (click on the image for the full size version):
The rule looks to see whether my name appears on the To line of the message and if so, assigns the corresponding category. The screen shot below shows the categories I've defined (click on the image for the full size version). Sorry for the blurred text – the categories contain internal group and employee names. But they line up to the bulleted list above.
As you can see, the "I'm in the To line" category matches up to the same value in the inbox rule screen shot. No matter what folder a message gets placed into, if my name appears on the To line Outlook 2007 will place that category on the message. What's better is that messages can be assigned multiple categories. For example, if my manager sends a message to our team distribution group, that message will be assigned both the category for messages from my boss (red) and for messages sent to my team (purple). The visual cue will contain both colors and the message will have both tags so I can search on them. Outlook will show up to three categories in the 'mini' category view that I use but if you use the expanded view by increasing the width of the message list in Outlook, all of the categories will be visible. The screen shot below shows messages in my Deleted Items (my Inbox isn't very full since it's the weekend and I keep it very tidy) with categories assigned to them (click on the image for the full size version). Again, sorry for the blurred text.
This is what my Inbox would look like on a weekday. Messages that make it here are given categories based on who sent them, where they were sent and what their content is. The level of blue (dark, medium and light) shows whether I'm the only recipient, on the To line, or the Cc line. At Microsoft how you address someone is quite important. Many people, including myself, will prioritize messages sent only to them and where they're on the To line higher than those where they're in the Cc line. This allows me at a quick glance to focus on those messages. Messages in red are from my manager so those are generally highest priority :). I assign other colors relative priorities as they relate to various groups. Basically, the closer to my group or team or feature area, the higher the priority. Messages that aren't assigned a category are typically general messages that aren't directly to me and don't relate directly to my product, group or team. These typically get read last.
For messages that are sent to other folders, categories are still applied although not as often as I may not be that active in a given distribution group. However, if I do participate in a group, replies to my messages will generally have my name somewhere in the header. This will trigger the appropriate category to be applied to those messages. This enables me to reply to a group, even a high-volume one, and easily scan it later for messages that may be a reply to my own. Saves lots of time if I want to participate not only in a given discussion, but a sub-branch of that discussion while ignoring the rest.
Categories aren't only applied to messages. They're also applied to calendar items, notes, contacts and tasks. The same principle applies although rather than priorities (because if i accept meeting or task requests I've committed to them), they're simply a visual cue of the scope of the meeting or task. Will they include my manager, team, group, etc? Who organized it? Below is an example of a week in my calendar (click on the image for the full size version):
Notice that as with messages, multiple categories can be applied to calendar items. I've set it up so that if I've specified that a category be applied if a certain sender sends the message, the meeting request is the color of their category. Red is assigned to meetings arranged by my manager for example. Other items are colored based on who the request was sent to or if, in the case of my manager sending one, the recipient category shows in the bottom right). Other items are based on their content (green ones are for spec reviews and high priority).
In addition to simple visual cues, Outlook 2007 enables you to search specific folders or your entire mailbox for messages that are assigned to specified categories. To search for a category, select the Search field, and click the down chevron next to the text box. From the Add Criteria list, select Categories. Select the category you want to search on and click the search icon.
You can also configure search folders based on categories. Whenever you open that search folder, Outlook 2007 will automatically populate that folder with all of the messages that match that category. To create a category based search folder, click the icon in the main Outlook 2007 window. Select the Create Category Search Folder option. Make sure Categorized Mail is selected, click the Choose button and select the category or categories you want to apply. Click OK, select where you want the search folder to look for messages, then click OK.
If you want to set up categories for yourself (and I hope you do :), the first thing you should do is determine what categories you want and add them. Click on the icon in the Outlook 2007 main window's toolbar and select All Categories. This will open the Color Categories window. From here you can customize the default categories and add new ones. Once you're happy with your categories, save them. Now you can assign categories manually by right-clicking on the little square next to the message date in the message list (see the Outlook main window screen shot above) and selecting the category you want. If you want to assign more than one, just repeat it the process. You can also single-left click the category square on a message. If you do this, Outlook will assign the default category to the message (you can configure the default category by right-clicking on the icon and selecting Set Quick Click).
If you want to use inbox rules to assign categories automatically to your messages, create a new inbox rule using the Rules Wizard (Tools -> Rules and Alerts). Create a new rule, select the conditions you want to use (such as who a message is from or sent to, subject or message body key words, etc) and then select the "assign it to the category" action. Once you save the rule, all new messages that meet the rule's conditions will be assigned the new category.

Break free
Nothing to look forward to
Nothing worth remembering
There's nothing whatsoever to do
What's the point of living
Stuck forever, In a prison with bars of gold
Here I was born, here I shall grow old
And die...
But wait!
That cannot be right
Who gave them the right?
To tell me what to do?
And who I should be?
We only live once
Why waste it living on someone else's terms
Damn it,
I shall break free
I shall fly
I shall do, Or I shall die

These are my salad days/ Slowly being eaten away. Ah yes, those glorious teenage years when you should be having non-stop fun and endless snogging and brilliant clothes and fabulous hair – and instead you're wearing acid-wash jeans and swaying awkwardly in a badly-lit school hall.
School Dance knows how it feels to be a teenage loser, because its heroes are exactly that: a loser, a loser with long hair, and a loser who doesn't even know he's a loser. Windmill Theatre sweeps us up in their adventures in a production that is laced with humour but treats its subject matter with complete sincerity.
It also has a deep respect for Spandau Ballet's Gold. Always believe in your soul has always struck me as a pretty decent mantra to live by and for Matt (Matthew Whittet) Jonathon (Jonathan Oxlade) and Luke (Luke Smiles), it's at the heart of this sweet, uplifting story of how three friends face down the horrors of that most terrifying of teenage social occasions: the school disco.
As with the other works in Windmill's trilogy, all written by Whittet, this is a tale that skips between naturalism and magical worlds and asks its audience to accept movement and comic-book violence as part of the action – they do, readily – and finds some of its best moments in its attempts to overcome the physical limitations of stage and cast. The BMX ride is thrilling and fun.
Creating work for a teenage audience – although there were plenty of grown-ups nodding nostalgically in the audience too – also allows it to be completely free of cynicism. In this trilogy the bullies don't win, even if they land some punches on the way, and in School Dance in particular, there is a charm and affection shown towards our teenage selves.
There are niggles. Poor Amber McMahon, as every female part in the whole show, seems to be perpetually wriggling out of one catsuit and into another. She's fab, but it's tricky to delineate between the characters enough while keeping them believable. There are slightly wrong turns elsewhere too – the domestic violence storyline needs rather more weight than it is given here, and the magical world falls a bit flat in terms of staging. And, as with Fugitive, there is too much running on and off stage, no matter how stylishly it is done.
But the performances are fantastic, the chemistry between the boys believable and compelling, and there's some frankly brilliant dancing in evidence. Not least in a finale that has every audience member grinning from ear-to-ear. It must have been so tempting to make School Dance more palatable; less geeky. But that is its joy and what makes it real: this is all the awkwardness of First Kiss, with none of the giddily beautiful hipster snogging. So like real teenage life then.

Driver charged with DUI after trooper on other crash witnesses hit-and-run
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - A state trooper said she witnessed a hit-and-run while at the scene of a different crash in Orange County.
The trooper said she was on the State Road 408 overpass at Lake Underhill Road and Semoran Boulevard, just after 1 a.m. Monday, when she heard the second crash, and then saw the driver take off.
The trooper said she followed the driver, Fabian Sanchez, 21.
WFTV spoke with the victim, Katherine Hernandez, who said she wanted to take matters into her own hands.
"I was just at the light, and then they hit me. I wasn't thinking. I didn't know what to do. I was going to chase him," said Hernandez.
No one was hurt in the crash.
Officers said Sanchez was arrested and charged with DUI and leaving the scene of a crash.

Gareth Roberts, who had been tipped for great things in the world of rallying, died after the car in which he was co-driver crashed during the Targo Florio rally in Sicily.
The Intercontinental Rally Challenge event was halted as a mark of respect for the 24-year-old from Carmarthen. The accident happened on the eighth stage. Roberts and his driver Craig Breen, had won last year's World RallyChampionship Academy title.
Motor racing: McNish's early push at Le Mans
Audi's quest for a first Le Mans victory for a hybrid car stayed on track in the opening stages of the 24-hour race. With one hour gone, the hybrid R18 Audis were first and second after the German Andre Lotterer led cleanly away from pole position in the No 1 Audi e-tron Quattro. The two-time Le Mans winner Allan McNish jumped Toyota's Stphane Sarrazin off the line and then took second place from Loic Duval, in an Audi R18 Ultra.
Equestrianism: Jung masterclass
Michael Jung underlined the threat he poses to the Olympic hopes of Britain's William Fox-Pitt with an emphatic display in the CCI four-star and CIC three-star classes at Luhmuhlen. After one of only five clear rounds in the cross-country element, the German world and European champion is poised for victory today.

Saks Fifth Avenue was the brainchild of Horace Saks and Bernard Gimbel, who operated independent retail stores on New York's 34th Street at Herald Square in the early 1900s. Their dream was to construct a unique specialty store that would become synonymous with fashionable, gracious living.
The combined financial input of these great merchant families led to the purchase of a site between 49th and 50th Streets on upper Fifth Avenue, then jointly occupied by the Democratic Club and the Buckingham Hotel. With the opening of its founders' "dream store" on September 15, 1924, Saks Fifth Avenue became the first large retail operation to locate in what was then primarily a residential district. By offering the finest quality men's and women's fashions, as well as an extraordinary program of customer services, Saks Fifth Avenue has become the byword for taste and elegance.

Car squeaks when turning to the right
As the title says when i am turning to the right slowly it squeaks and it sounds like the sound is coming from around my wheel area
Ant help would be appriciated
Shock hats or sway bar bushings. I have the same issue and with proper greasing the issue stops. Warm weather also helps.
Is this an easy thing for the average joe to do at home, or should I just take it to a shop/dealer?

|Reviews for The Price
| nayin17 chapter 8 . 5/31/2016
Oh this is getting better
| nayin17 chapter 7 . 5/31/2016
This is good but the chapters are short
| nayin17 chapter 6 . 5/31/2016
Finally, there will be something to be done about Harry's living with the Dursley's.
| Delena-Spuffy chapter 14 . 11/7/2011
I luv this story please update its amazing
| BekaRoo chapter 14 . 10/19/2011
I really really like your story and I hope you continue it :D
| Blaise de C chapter 13 . 10/25/2008
I've really been enjoying this story. Just one problem - you seem to have gotten confused between chapters 12 and 13 as to who is talking with Harry about the Manor and Sinodel. In chapter 12 it's Sirius and in chapter 13 suddenly it's Remus instead.
| DukeBrymin chapter 6 . 7/19/2008
Another good chapter-I'm happy to see someone finally taking an interest in Harry's abuse at the Dursley's hands.
I'm especially enjoying the Sirius/Cordelia plot line.
Keep up the good work.
| DukeBrymin chapter 5 . 7/19/2008
Oh good, Ginny forgives Harry for his ill-timed sense of humor, and Arthur is being able to handle things like a good person, rather than reacting emotionally. I'm really enjoying this one-It's keeping me up rather late on a night I should be in bed.
| DukeBrymin chapter 4 . 7/19/2008
So, Harry is discovering exactly what is going on with himself and Ginny-very nice. Interesting that they are in the more advanced form of the bond.
| DukeBrymin chapter 3 . 7/19/2008
Oh, my questions from last chapter were certainly answered very well.
Poor Harry, putting his foot in his mouth so spectacularly with Ginny.
| DukeBrymin chapter 2 . 7/19/2008
So, a sworn life debt and betrothal contract-I would think that Harry would have some physical evidence of this too-maybe he just hasn't noticed it?
And I love the tattoo-very symbolic.
Does Ginny realize the significance of her dreams? Harry doesn't seem to.
| DukeBrymin chapter 1 . 7/19/2008
Beautiful start! I love the words of the oath that Ginny makes-they're very poetic.
| azphxbrd chapter 14 . 4/20/2008
A good story so far. Keep up the creative story line.
| CiA1 chapter 14 . 4/7/2008
damn... liked the story... until you got Draco in the story as anything other then a fod note :(
Pre draco 4 out of 5
after 3 out of 5

Hey, some of you may already know about this, but i found this little MMA based game. You own a camp and control a bunch of fighters, sign contracts, rise in promotions etc. Its actually a really fun, and quite addictive game. And its free.
Thank you for posting, but I would prefer to have real fighter names. It seems like a clever little thing though.
I love this. I just joined up and got a decent guy with a 2-1 record. Real fun stuff.
I played this for awhile, then I slumped horribley in my camp, haven't played since.
In an offnote: Wow, Composure you allready reached two bars in under 100 posts. Lol.
I played for a while and even had two champions in minor organizations (Shooto and Art of Combat) but I don't play anymore, it's too random for my liking. I have all the first upgrades of equipment though, if anyone wants to take over where I left let me know lol.
I have just started to play this and think its a very good game considering its free. I think is good how you have to train the fighters in all the different aspects of MMA depending on what style of fighter he is.

Honeymoon in Australia
Holidays in India
Holidays in Australia
Best Australia Holiday Package
Australia Tour
Dubai Holidays
Dubai trip for Qnet Vcon
Switzerland for families
Shopping in Singapore
Quite often travelers come away with a sense of déjà vu and with limited experiences when they go on a tour. This happens when you pick a hill resort or a beach vacation. If you have been to Goa, then Kovalam will look more or less the same. There is a distinct lack of variety in terms of sights and experiences. This is where Australia differs.
Switzerland attracts lone travelers, seekers of romance and adventure enthusiasts, but the country especially loves families. In fact, the Swiss Tourism Federation's"Families Welcome" label is a seal of quality that guarantees the provision of play areas, organized activities, child-friendly accommodation and a pleasing atmosphere for families.
Australia, the continent country is proving to be a hit with tourists looking for experiences that go beyond the normal definition of holidays. If you wish to get to know the heart of Australia pick Australia Holiday packages that take you to Alice Springs and to aborigine country in Kakadu in Northern Territories and Kimberley regions.
Australia, as a country-continent, offers unique attractions not found elsewhere in the world with its own scenic beauty as well as collection of flora and fauna. It may not be possible to take in all attractions during your brief trip so you would need to consider selecting from the Great Barrier Reef, cosmopolitan cities, Kimberley region, the Australian Alps, Ningaloo, Tasmanian Wilderness and the Outback.

He was dropped off at a veterinary hospital supposedly found as a stray - but we suspect he was abandoned by his parents because he was having issues. He was completely unable to urinate - probably due to trauma to the tip of his penis. With a urinary catheter and assorted medications, he was gotten through his crisis and after a week or two, has been doing great. When he was neutered, we examined him and his penis has adhered to his prepuce at a weird angle. It isn't bothering him at all now and he urinates completely normally - but there is a decent chance that he will further issues in the future and may need a perineal urethrostomy - where a surgeon revises the opening to his urethra. This should resolve problems completely - but it would be better for him not to go through this until he is an adult and it is moderately expensive.
So, he's hoping that he can find a hero to adopt him as he is and be able to assure us that if problems happen down the road they can and will address them so he can have the long and full life he deserves.
Thank You!
