Workforce Investment Act:
New Requirements Create Need for More Guidance

The Workforce Investment Act was passed in 1998 to unify a fragmented employment and training system. The act sought to change the workforce development system by streamlining the delivery of employment and training services, enabling job seekers to make informed choices among training providers and course offerings and enhancing the private-sector role. During the early stages of the act's implementation, state and local implementers were challenged by the significant changes to the workforce system. Mandatory partners have concerns about how to participate in one-stops without adversely affecting their respective target populations, violating their own programs' rules, or straining their financial resources. Training providers have struggled to find ways to effectively meet the act's data collection and reporting requirements that they believe are burdensome and, as a result, have reduced the courses offered to job seekers.

Every NightMature
"Sleep, sleep, sleep," Viveka complained. "That's all we've done the last three days!"
"Shut up," I grumbled, nuzzling her neck. "I'm comfortable and you're ruining it."
"Can we at least get something to eat?" she asked and her stomach growled. "See? Even my stomach demands it!"
I laughed. "All right. Let's go."
"Yes!" she said and sat up so fast her head bumped into mine. "Shit," we said in unison and she laughed. "Sorry about that."
"A little less enthusiasm," I snapped and she rolled her eyes, shoving me playfully.
"Do I need to put you through another crash course on manners, Lord Cian?"
I put my arm around her waist and pulled her hip to mine as we walked.
"I don't know," I said. "I'll probably be too distracted and I'll fail."
She laughed. I knew she was still a little used to the idea of someone loving her; especially after how we met. I kept trying to figure out when I fell in love with her but it seemed to just happen gradually. I was glad, though. It had been my sister's last wish that I find love.
As we sat at the dining room table with my parents, her mother, and Chester, I wondered if she would become my queen. I watched her for most of the meal. Breakfast is when I had my daily blood. She was happy to see her family again. I meant what I said: I wouldn't turn her into a vampire just to be with me. Even though the clan would disagree, I was fine with having a human with me.
"Staring is rude," Viveka said, jerking me out of my thoughts.
"Ah, I can't help it," I said. "You've got something on your nose."
She reached for it and I laughed. She kicked me under the table with a smirk. It was obvious to our families that she and I had entered a relationship, albeit a very strange one.
"One more night," I begged when she tried to go home.
"I haven't seen my mother in almost two weeks," she said, gathering the dresses in my room.
I kissed her. "One more night," I whispered against her lips. I ran my hand up her sides. "Just one more night?"
She laughed, shivering at my touch. "Okay," she whispered. "One more night."
She kissed me, dropping her dresses and running her hands into my hair. I closed my eyes and held onto her hips. I wanted her desperately in more ways than one. I didn't need to read her mind to know that she was thinking the same thing.
She ran her tongue on my lower lip and I gladly allowed her access. She bit down gently on my tongue, something she knew drove me crazy. I pushed her against the wall and she laughed. Her breath quickened as I struggled with the internal debate going on in my head right now. I wouldn't do it without her consent.
"Looks like I've managed to teach you something after all," she panted and kissed me again.
"What do you mean?" I asked and she smirked. I frowned. "If you've got witch in you, does that mean you can read my mind?" She shook her head. "Then how did you-?"
"Just shut up and take your shirt off," she snapped.
I laughed and obeyed immediately. We staggered to my bed and she kissed down my neck and to my chest. I groaned quietly and untied her dress. I pulled it over her head and she kissed back up to my lips. I caressed her breasts while she untied my trousers. I kicked off my boots and rolled on top of her.
"Wait," she whispered and I looked down at her.
"What's wrong?" I asked with a frown.
She moved her hair to the side and bent her neck. My eyes widened.
"Please," she breathed.
"Viveka, are you sure about this?" I whispered. "There's no going back."
She kissed me passionately. "I want to be with the man I love forever."
I stared at her. "You love me?"
She nodded, blushing. I kissed her and put a trail of kisses down to her neck. She moaned as I kissed right above her vein. I licked it, dragging out the moment in case she changed her mind. I grazed my fangs against her neck and her back arched, burying her hand in my hair. Finally, I sank my teeth in.
"Oh my God," she groaned, breathing out gently.
I drank deeply, moaning and letting the taste of her blood fill every bit of my mouth. I gripped her hips tightly. Her blood was enough to send me into an orgasm and I pulled away before I drank it all. Panting, I slit my wrist. She drank from it eagerly and moaned quietly. My wrist healed and I licked her neck around my bite marks. She gripped my arms, panting, and I finally let my body take control.
She moaned, her head falling back. She wrapped a leg around me as I thrust into her, invigorated by her blood.
"I don't-I don't know what I'm doing," she panted as I moved slowly.
I groaned as I moved inside her. I rolled over and she turned red. "Keep moving like I was," I panted, running my hands up and down her thighs. "Ride me, baby."
She closed her eyes and did as I said. I kept mine open, taking in her naked body coated in a small layer of sweat. She tossed her head back and I gripped her breasts again. The act seemed to arouse her more and I held her in place with one hand. The other hand I used to prop myself up. While she continued to move on top of me, I bit into her breast, drawing blood.
"Oh shit," she moaned, gripping my hair. "It doesn't hurt this time."
"That's because you're mine," I panted and rolled over so I was on top of her again. I moved slowly and licked up the blood. "You are mine and I am yours."
"Forever," we said in unison.
Her transformation was smoother than mine had been. She spent the last few days of her humanity with her mother. Her mother was of two minds when Viveka told her that she was becoming a creature of the night but she was supportive. I was on the receiving end of Chester's fist again but this time it didn't bother me. He was looking out for a young woman who was like his little sister.
The first night she spent as a vampire was spent in bed with me. We fed from each other, making love with lust fueled passion. With each drop of her blood, it was as if she just gave me more and I could tell the feeling was shared.
"You know what this means now, right?" I told her in between romps.
She smirked. "You want me to be more... experimental?"
I chuckled. "That would be nice but no." I kissed her neck. "It means you have to marry me."
She laughed. "I don't remember that law."
"That's because it's not a law," I whispered in her ear.
"Is this your way of proposing to me, Lord Cian?" she asked with a smirk, her fangs glinting in the fire light.
"Oh no. Proposal suggests asking. You're gonna marry me," I breathed, nibbling on her ear.
"Mmm. You're not being very polite," she whispered. "I guess we'll just have to stop."
I groaned. "You're such a minx!"
"Come on, Lord Cian. What's the polite way to speak of marriage?"
I looked into her eyes and caressed her cheek. "Will you marry me, Viveka?"
She smiled and kissed me. "Very good. And yes, I will marry you Cian."
I beamed and bit gently on her neck, making her giggle.

In the large, I can't yet tell the world what I'm working on (hint, PDC). But the past few weeks I've been hard at work on a XAML parser and serializer. Now Marc Clifton has shown you can implement a XAML parser in 300 lines of code, so you may wonder why it's taking me so long.
Well, my colleague Chuck and I are working on a source code preserving system. Read XAML in, change the object graph, write it back out and we change as little source as possible: comments and whitespace etc. are preserved. This too wouldn't be hard if we did the editing against an XML-style DOM, but we doing editing against the live (Avalon) objects, and the system has to work for objects we don't know about and who don't know about source code preservation.
Sunday I implemented the compact syntax parser. For example, in XAML you can say:
<TransformDecorator Child="*Button(Content=Hello World;Width=100)" />
instead of:
<Button Width="100″>
Hello World
Please, don't use this syntax for an example like this. I see its usefulness for *Bind and *Alias, but in cases like above it simply provides two ways to do the same thing, one standard XML and one custom. If you need further incentive, I am advocating dropping the compact syntax before Avalon ships…and I'm fairly confident of success.
Anyway, the parser wasn't that tricky. I wrote a scanner that returned a set of tokens: the type is the first token, followed by name-value pairs. Given the type and the name-value pairs I could reuse the code that parses normal XAML element/attribute sets to create our model. Next up is Style parsing. That's pretty much the last thing between us and complete XAML support.
But Chuck is doing all the hard work–writing the serializer that puts this stuff back where we found it.

Useful applications and tricks
As someone who writes about Linux and open source software for a living, I have tools and tricks that are essential for my daily computing. In this installment of the Workspace feature, I share my personal favorites with you.
Anyone whose daily work revolves around using a computer assembles a number of applications they turn to regularly. The software featured in this article includes applications key to my workflow, including collecting and organizing ideas, bookmarks, and snippets; editing text; managing and backing up files; and much more.
Share with Shaarli
Shaarli is a relatively recent addition to my toolbox, but it's quickly becoming the go-to application for storing and sharing bookmarks. I've been using the Delicious bookmark service from time immemorial, but after Yahoo! acquired the service, I decided to move on. I tried several solutions with varying degrees of success: from Firefox's bookmarking functionality to a simple database solution based on the First Things First application. I used them, but I didn't love them.

Not as good as I had hoped for.
By sknaffl4 on
Vehicle2013 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium PZEV 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6M)
ReviewThis Outback is my first Subaru, and sadly, it will probably be my last.
I had high expectations for this car considering the excellent reviews from prior models, but now that I've got 40,000 miles on it, I'm not impressed.
It burns 1 quart of oil every 1000-1200 miles, which Subaru says is normal.
There is a constant vibration at hwy speeds that is NOT tire related. There are large gaps in the body panels, and the hatch doesn't even line up...indicating poor build quality.
The seat is already starting to deform, and I'm not a big person. There is a constant rattle on deceleration, and the stock stereo speakers are probably the worst I've ever seen.
Best FeaturesAWD system is very good, I live in the mountains, so that was the primary reason for purchasing a Subaru. The maintenance on the car is very easy for the DIY minded person.
Worst FeaturesSubaru North America has been an absolute nightmare to deal with. I've called in about the oil consumption issue, yet they refuse to do anything about it saying that's the way the engineers designed it...which in my opinion is an insult to anybody who knows anything about cars. A simple Google search will net you dozens of reports of an oil consumption issue on Subaru's FB25 engine. Subaru needs to fess up to this MAJOR issue and get a fix in place. I know Subaru has grown a lot in the last few years, but it may be time to take a step back and start focusing on their build quality and customer service...which is what put them on the map to begin with.

Today, every brand wants to do more with the content they own. They want to share it with more people, sell it to more people, or even just engage more of their company in reading it. And, this is no short-term task. The average company is expecting to work on this for at least five years before they feel their digital content distribution strategy is solid and effective. That said, no one person or company claims to know all of the answers in generating a proven path toward success and high-value brand equity. Everyone loves to hear what others are doing and innovate off of that.
After having been on the road for three weeks, speaking with CMOs and CEOs of companies – from B2B to B2C, and across all industries and countries, I felt there were 10 pieces of advice that could help everyone accelerate their innovation, or simply gain enough courage to get started. A few people asked me to share them in a broader forum, so here they are:
- Build an effective preference center (aka, get people to opt in). This means gather approval to email, text, Facebook message, tweet, and whatever else you can think of. Putting my old email hat on, anyone who gives you permission to speak to them will buy 25 percent more than those who don't.
- Get a social sentiment monitor and gather the data. Every brand talks about monitoring social sentiment so they can respond in a time of crisis. But that is not enough. You need to monitor your commentary and save the words people use to talk about your brand. Those words then need to be used in your SEO, SEM, and marketing efforts. Speaking in the terms your customers understand, you will increase revenue 15 percent or more.
- Use print – don't lose print. If you do anything in print, you have this unique, once-in-a-lifetime chance to use it to target your best prospects for digital. Stickers, QR codes, SMS codes, and more will enable you to educate and transition your customer to your digital content.
- Create and distribute video. Regardless of what business you are in, it can be represented visually. And that is important, because one video can impact five efforts. Video is currently the most malleable digital format. Meaning…you do not need to worry about resizing it for different mobile devices, or color correct. It can stream, or be embedded. But most importantly, it can be overlaid into digitized documents easily to wow the consumer, shared on social networks to introduce the prospect, included on your website for exclusive insights, and be used with partners and sales team as well.
- Define your international position. While the shackles of print have often held us back from thinking globally, digital distribution enables us to overcome those issues. This is hard. It's hard to think globally for all content distribution. But it's key to defining emerging market acceptance and true global domination.
- Phone a friend. Just like the early days of email, none of us know what tomorrow will bring in terms of technical advancements, strategies, consumer acceptance, etc. Now is not the time to try and do it on your own. Reach out and ask an expert for help. Some great resources (and people) I have enjoyed working with recently include The CMO Club, Argyle, ExactTarget, Webtrends, Skyword, and The IMA (and of course my own crews at my company and VIVmag).
- Create a consumer panel. In our overly social world, consumers like to feel like they are making the decisions. They want to help. Reach out to them and ask for advice, testing support, and help. If you have a consumer brand, you will be shocked to see how asking for help will lead to new business deals.
- Remember the four defining elements of a digital strategy. Consider what your goal is across these four factors when building anything digitally to ensure you are reaching the right target with the right product features: age (generation), access (small or large screen), intent (answers or entertainment), and engagement (fast flip vs. content engagement).
Good luck! And share you stories and learnings. At this point in the digital distribution lifecycle, things are going to keep getting better and more exciting!

Early badling
You appear to be developing a receding hairline which is caused by genetic hair loss. See a hair specialist who understands that if you are under 25, you should be started on finpecia daily for one year and see what happens.
What's my diagnosis ?
There's more to diagnosing hair loss that simply a photo. You're right - the most likely diagnosis by far is male pattern balding. But your story is what confirms it. If you lost your hair in a period of one week - it's not male pattern balding. It's a combination of the patient's story of their hair loss PLUS what the pattern looks like that helps solidify the diagnosis.
Overall, the most likely diagnosis is male pattern hair loss

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian Attempt To Hit The Paris Gym Incognito [Photo]
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are knocking off the carioles from their ice cream. To two were spotted making their last trip to the gym before this weekends wedding ceremony (well the one that's allegedly going down this weekend).
The two were captured as they made their way to Paris' L'Usine Gym for a morning workout in the most interesting get up.

I actually went through quite a bunch of mocks w some buddies and addressed Oline earlier than the mock shown. I would be more than pleased goin LB, CB, and Oline in the first 3 or 4 rounds in no particular order, as long as they are solid players. A good DE that falls in any of those rounds would not upset me either. I was pretty happy with the Brandon Myers pickup and still waiting to see what they think of Tracy so my Kasa pick was just for fun. Lattimore would be a great pick if he ends up fully recovered but still think its too risky round 4. Maybe Reese doesn't though.
2017 Draft Wishlist:
1. Christian McCaffrey RB Stanford
2. Raekwon McMillan ILB Ohio State
3. Roderick Johnson OT Florida State
4. Jordan Leggett TE Clemson
5. Ryan Glasgow DT Michegan
6. Chad Kelly QB Ole Miss
7. Billy Brown WR Shepherd
"Behold, the tailgate party. The pinnacle of human achievement. Since the dawn of parking lots, man has sought to fill his gut with food and alcohol in anticipation of watching others exercise."
- Homer J. Simpson
Yeah I like the Mock overall though. Okafor would be a really good pick in the 2nd IMO. Dallas Thomas would be a good pick in the 6th and Ray Ray could be a big steal!

Walking On The BeachMature
Peter has always been the kind of guy that likes romantic stuff. I knew that, but I never new he would do it for me.
We were taking a walk on the beach, Peter who insisted I wear a blindfold was guiding to his surprise.
"Okay, open your eyes and I will take the bandana off." Peter said gently.
I opened my eyes and saw nothing but red mexican print. Then Peter's hands took off the blindfold and I could see again.
The sky was beautiful, almost exactly what I felt like. On the sand lay a checkered blanket and a picnic basket. Next to the basket and all around the blanket there were candles.
"Oh, Peter." I said breathlessly.

Just posted: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R Preview with studio and real-world samples
Just posted: Sony Cyber-shot DSCRX1R hands-on preview. We've had a few days to try out Sony's new Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R, the sister camera to the RX1. The only difference between these two full-frame enthusiast cameras is that the RX1R lacks the anti-aliasing feature of the original RX1. We've created a hands-on preview of the RX1R, including a gallery of real-world samples and some preliminary studio tests, to give you an idea of how the new camera performs.
Click to read our hands-on preview of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R
I own it
I want it
I had it
Discuss in the forums
I don't find that there is such a big difference between the two in contrast and sharpness - just a bit if you pixel-peep - but I'm not sure it's worthy of a second model, at the expense of occasional moiré.
and I do agree with others, that a tilting screen isn't too much to ask for at this price point. (actually, they should throw in the viewfinder, and a bicycle, and a tablet too!) lol
When will Sony release a version with interchangeable lenses?
I'm sorry. But I'm just not seeing it. Viewed through the samples and I don't see anything that my a900 with Mino 35/2 can't do just as well if not better.
Sony won't impress me until they start using their own 36mp sensor inside their own cameras. On the comparison page, this new RX can't even keep up with the D600. Kind of sad really, considering they could bring so much more to the table.
And really, it's starting to bother me that they charge so much for a lens shade. Approaching arrogance with such extortion. Wish they'd put more effort into partnering with 3rd parties for flash and smart radio slaves. Kind of a joke to have such a dismal flash system in 2013.
They've been at it since the first "Walkman", don't you remember?
Do you know of measurements showing the normal focus equivalent of the eye?
35mm distorts all images, everything seems farther away. It's a camera for narcissists :-)
laugh at people acting like little children and attack people who don't like repeat product and say truth about it. funny how brand make people stupid. Sony not only existing camera and not better camera. RX1R and RX100 II are repeat product and not new innovation from last camera. no filter is innovation? bsi by 1/3 improvement is innovation? maybe for people with Sony psychosis.
Not every generation of model needs entirely new camera body with new features. RX100 II adds new sensor, wifi, NFC, hotshoe, and tilt LCD, while maintaining the same pocket size.
As for RX1R, Sony isn't even claiming it's a new model that replaces the old model It's the same camera with missing AA filter for landscape photographers.
I'm with ET2. Don't like it? Don't buy it. I've bought it, and am pretty excited about it - some of us just love technology, and elegant and intelligent use of it :)
I sooooo cannot afford this camera that it's hearbreaking.
Still a great feat of engineering with some nice IQ, just like the first model.
But at that price point, I'd have trouble living with the various performance issues (AF in particular). It would have been nice if Sony had fixed those with the new model. Maybe next time?
I don't mind high prices as long as it's balanced to final output and usability. Here, they are not. Arrogantly pitiful.
This is certainly a pocketable camera in that after buying it you will have plenty of room for it inside your pocket.
What is the point of being pocketable when Sony wants to charge as much as one pays for some studio heavyweights?
Sure photographers want their pocket cameras to take top shots, but I suspect those who are prepared to pay 3000 for a camera, don't care much if their camera fits into their pocket.
It is a piece of Sony jewelry.
Just buy a Fujifilm XE1 - good lenses now and more to come, and a great inbuilt EVF. Light & very easy to take anywhere - I do all day every day. Why pay so much more for this still limited Sony? Fujifilm have it nailed already with so much more usability for less outlay.
Perhaos people want a camera with better high iso performance, and more control of DOF, than the XE1 can offer? And perhaps 35mm is a focal length some people find very useful.
I like the XE1 a lot. I shot with it a fair bit. But when I wanted a second small camera in my kit, the RX! could not be beat.
It's noticable enough when shooting close up mug shots, I can tell you that for sure. I've own a NEX 7 with a gaffle of lenses and RX1, and I can tell the difference.
To each their own. I like the x100s, too. It IS a beautiful camera.
I enjoy the ISO performance of the RX1 more than any other feature.
Another Viewfinder-less wave it about in-front of your face like a phone wannabe!.
No thanks.
At this price level the optional external EVF should come for free. I would rather go with a Fuji X100S.
look sony, what REALLY is on everyone's mind is when are we gonna have this camera with interchangeable lenses???
guys/gals: if agreed 'like' this and let's send sony this message
i so wish the photo world would have it's own steve jobs!! everything is soooo incremental, sony please make something truly, insanely great! just make it happen already!!!
Steve Jobs gave the photo world the iPhone...
There is very little point in confining yourself to an expensive fixed lens camera and limited functionality just to gain the marginal advantage FF provides over a 1.5x crop sensor.
There is a pretty large gap with respect to DOF control and OOF background blur between the two. High ISO in the RX1 is significantly better than most 1.5x crops as well. The Fuji cameras might some close until aruond 1600. My RX1 can make some pretty clean files at 6400 that no 1.5x crop can touch.
Too much hype about 6400+ ISOs....the vast majority of shots taken by most people don't require it...it's just another spec for forum heads to clash over. My ONLY Point here is that using the self-timer or a tripod would yield better night shots at FAR less $$$. To each his own, though. I live these Sony rx cams...I have the rx100, but shooting handheld in the dark isn't worth the cost of FF for most.
Finally... the end of the AA filter.
The AA filter was always an amateurish fix for a real problem.
The AA filter era will go down as a black spot in the history of cameras... an embarrassment for the engineers who thought of it and used it.
Medium format cameras never had this absurd filter... rightfully so.
Really, you should do some more research before making wild claims. Many MF cameras had AA filters, but some had the option of being able to remove it when required.
The need for AA filters diminishes as resolution increases since it becomes less and less likely that you can get interference between the much smaller sensor pixels and repetitive naturally occurring patterns on the subject. Current high end MF cameras have huge resolution 60-80MP and there is no need for AA filters, but even the D800E can show moire and for cameras with relatively low pixel count, you can easily get interference from many patterns in nature.
As I said above... alaising is a real problem.
"Fixing" the problem by bluring the image was never a good solution.
Removing the filter increases image quality.
What would have been your solution?
Going but not gone. I can recall lengthy posts from engineers giving mathematical explanations of the terrible things that would happen without a blurring filter. Still, I think the only reason this happened is because, like Adobe, the camera manufacturers ran out of new features to add. Prediction: Infrared capability (with a disclaimer about unpredictable results) will be the next feature.
great idea but for the price i wonder if i could find a used Leica...
Good luck finding one cheap with that lens ;)
I just can't understand the price, especially when you add in an EVF.......what is the target market ?
Nice camera ......but where I come from 3 k will get you two Oly Em-5 & 12-50mm kits .
Target market?
1) Adroit connoisseurs,
2) The well-to-do, or
3) The spendthrift camera junkie who somehow hasn't already exhausted his cash, credit limits, or pawnable assets. "Must have. Must have," he mutters, trembling, in a cold sweat.
RX is the perfect Rx for each group.
It's a great camera, everybody would want to have it, so the market is only limited by price. It's targeted to folks who don't hesitate paying $1000 for a dinner. There are actually plenty of those.
They forgot the viewfinder.
disappointing news. Sony nothing new to offer. same camera like last time.
The RX100 is nothing like the RX1
People should just enjoy the fact these cameras exist. Yes they are priced beyond any reasonable person wallet and not the most practical solution for almost every photographer but enjoy that sony made this.
How/why? How can one enjoy a camera they can't afford to own?
I give Sony credit for making the phone but I don't take delight in knowing it exists. My hope is that they make something similar with an APS-C sensor that actually closes flat... runs on Android 4.0 and has a phone. Even at $1000 that makes sense.
I enjoy the fact that I do not need this camera for my work, and that there is so much choice out there, that you can reach that quality the Sony RX1 delivers (lower priced) with more options and most importantly can be used with the same joy.
And yes I know...it is not an RX1R which is mentioned on the cameras' I have to use, but I enjoy as well that 'I' do not care about that.
It's a wonderful camera, do not understand me wrong.
Anyone recall prices of digicams 10years ago.
In three years FF digital mirrorless will be around £1500.
1999: 12.000 DM (6000€) for a 2.7MP-camera. (Nikon D1)
2012: 6000€ for the D4
One could say nothing had changed, but the D4 is very much better than the D1, obviously.
Produce a really tiny FF camera...
Sans all the features...
Create modular add-ons worth a fortune, to increase the specs and features...
...and voila!
A big chunky DSLR-like bulky steroid dripping fully featured add-on junky!
Forgetting the size aspect for the moment, the sort of money this camera is going for I would get a Canon 5D3. Having used the 5D3 for a while now and seen what the real world results that one can get, then I can live with its size and with carrying it around.
This really needs to be a whole lot cheaper, or are Sony the new Leica? :)
"This really needs to be a whole lot cheaper, or are Sony the new Leica? "
I beg to differ. If this was by Leica, it would be nearly double the price. And at $2800, Sony obviously knows by the success of the RX1 that $2800 is not too steep of an asking price. Keep in mind that this camera comes with a nice Zeiss lens too, which is also not cheap.
These days, I don't carry around a camera the size of a 5D3 unless I'm being paid to do it. Plus, carrying around a 5D3, you stick out like a sore thumb. Not so with the RX1. It's just a completely different experience, and I can easily see how some people would be willing to pay the money to have the RX1's shooting experience. It's just a different value proposition.
Exactly. It sucks that it's so expensive but I respect and understand what Sony wanted to accomplish. They just need an APS-C bridge camera between the RX100 and RX1. I'm thinking, RX10?
And your point is what? that made in Japan Zeiss is still better than that made in Japan Canon
Boerseuntjie: No. But my old Sony F505 (that I've bought more than decade ago) used CZ glass (which wasn't bad for 5mpix camera) not necessarily mean it was better than Canon's equivalent used on their cameras at that time.
So, making a statement that all CZ are better than Canon, Nikon, Olympus is simply foolish.
Personally, I have a 5D2. To me, the 5D3 doesn't add a lot of value to my kit. I'll pass and wait for Canon to release something to rival the resolution of the D800.
Meanwhile, I bought the RX1 after owning a NEX7 for some time and enjoying the size. And, I love it. The RX1 raw files are smashing.
The RX1 is my 'always with me' camera and is truly remarkable with files as good as my D600 (and nearly as good as my D800E). But the RX1 without AA filter should have been there at launch and I very much hope that Sony offer existing owners an upgrade path (sensor swap) at reasonable cost.
thought my eyes was playing tricks
or you double posted
A lot more than you think. :-)
What exactly do you mean by "this sort of camera?" If you mean a compact jewel with a spectacular lens and amazing IQ, then the RX1 is worth what Sony charges for it, and they seem to have quite a few buyers, including many who shoot with top of the line Leicas, Nikons and Canons. Some of those same folks are dumping their other gear and using the RX1 almost exclusively. Whether removing the already weak AA filter is worthwhile is for each individual buyer to decide. Personally, I find my RX1 to be about as sharp as I would want it to be.
I would buy it if it had a 20mm lens with similar IQ. I would then fund it by selling my 6D & 20mm lens.
Truly? I don't see any significant difference in Raw. I would say in some part of picture is RX1 even better on high ISO than RX1R. Is it worth upgrade? I don't think so.

Lewis' Modal Realism and Absence Causation

A major criticism of David Lewis' counterfactual theory of causation is that it allows too many things to count as causes, especially since Lewis allows, in addition to events, absences to be causes as well. Peter Menzies has advanced this concern under the title "the problem of profligate causation." In this paper, I argue that the problem of profligate causation provides resources for exposing a tension between Lewis' acceptance of absence causation and his modal realism. The result is a different problem of profligate causation—one that attacks the internal consistency of Lewisian metaphysics rather than employing common sense judgments or intuitions that conflict with Lewis' extensive list of causes.

Holiday Eating Tips
Holiday Eating Tips
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can—and quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think.
It's Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy . Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free.
Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
God man, I'm nauseous just reading this :D
Eating at that rate and I'm not going to fit in the wrnagler!
If those tips don't work, just stay home and sew your lips shut.;)
Dang now im hungry.
I just fell out of my drivers seat...:eek:
Good stuff Greg! :D
Makes me wish I was still in my 20's and able to shovel the feed in like that.
My 11 year old eats more than me now.
What Can I Say...
.....That's How I Roll

What is Your Security Nightmare?
Every security professional has one if not many security nightmares. If they're lucky, they get to go through their entire profession without a single one being realized. Don't count on it. It's like the rare cop who goes through his whole profession without ever taking his gun out of his holster.
Do security horror scenarios play out in your head? At the RSA Conference in San Francisco I asked attendees, "What's your greatest security nightmare?"
Many had difficulty limiting it to just one, while one security professional I interviewed said he couldn't think of one security nightmare because every day is a nightmare. Watch, and be afraid, very afraid.
Watch for more video interviews from David Spark with an array of subject matter experts on a wide variety of security-related issues that are key to the decisions you will be facing as the year rolls on.

On Tap Today: Tooo sweet
Feelin' overfed on holiday sugar? There's a lot of that going around.
What you need is a bit of a palate cleanser. Luckily, there are several savory options today:
Carte Blanche Studios is serving up a seasonal tale with a do-it-yourself ending. "Who Killed Santa Claus" is billed as an irreverant who-dun-it -- a murder mystery written by Neil Haven. The setting is St. Nick's annual holiday bash. Likely suspects who just happen to be at the party include Frosty, Rudolph and the Little Drummer Boy, among others. Showtime for the "choose your own ending" musical is 7:30 p.m. at Carte Blanche Studios, 1024 S. 5th St.
For more rewritten holiday fare, there's "Dale Gutzman's Holiday Punch" at Off the Wall Theatre, 127 W. Wells St. The production includes a section on holiday parties, plus holiday music and more. It's billed as "showgirls, tap dancing, and the kind of organized chaos only Off the Wall Theatre can bring you." Show time is 7:30 p.m. Call (414) 327-3552.
In Tandem Theatre continues its run of "Scrooge in Rouge," a play that takes place in a turn-of-the-century music hall where all but a lucky few actors in a troupe escape food poisoning. Believing that the show must go on, well, they see that it does. Sort of. There are shows at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at Call (414) 271-1371.
For outdoorsy types, there's Fun in the Winter Sun at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in Bayside. The event features a variety of activities related to animals in the winter --- from their tracks to their fur. It runs from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
If you just want to chill with some tunes, head to Linneman's Riverwest Inn, 1001 E. Locust St. Tonight is Acoustic Open Stage night, so you never know what you'll end up hearing. Sign-up is at 9 p.m., and the show starts at 9:30 p.m. There's no cover.
The New Year is just a few days away, but in the meantime, enjoy this beautiful day.

Tennessee National Guard to award Soldier's Medal to 4
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) _ Tennessee's Adjutant General will award the Soldier's Medal to four Tennessee National Guard members.
According to the Guard, the medal is for individuals who have distinguished themselves by an act of heroism not involving conflict with an enemy. By regulation, that act must have involved ``personal hazard or danger and the voluntary risk of life.''
Maj. Gen. Max Haston will present the awards on Wednesday at the Tennessee National Guard Headquarters in Nashville.
Also on Wednesday, Haston will recognize the 2,000th Tennessee Guard member employed through the Tennessee National Guard Employment Team. The team helps unemployed Tennessee National Guard soldiers and airmen and their family members find work.

About the Property
Townhome, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 10-16)
The kitchen is gorgeous with solid granite countertops and travertine tiled floors. Plenty of cabinet space and top notch appliances will let you "cook in" in style. Peeled pine log and aspen ceilings add to the charm of this luxurious town home, and the view of Mt. Crested Butte is stunning.
This home has a two car heated garage, a private hot tub and is luxuriously furnished. The bus runs every hour and picks up/drops off at the end of the driveway. You can ride down to the ski area in minutes and from there, if you choose, take the town bus down to the Town of Crested Butte, where you can enjoy many activities, browse the shops and dine at the many fine restaurants in town. The Town Shuttle runs every 15 minutes from Mountaineer Square. All buses stop at midnight.
The hot tub sets on the back deck and looks out over the town of Mt. Crested Butte and the town of Crested Butte below. Crested Butte Mountain and Whetstone Mountain form the backdrop while you relax in the hot tub and recount the days events. When you're done, retire for the evening in front of the gas fireplace or in front of the big screen TV and enjoy all Mt. Crested Butte has to offer.
Free high speed internet is provided to help you keep in touch back home and our caretakers are available to assist you with your needs while in Mt. Crested Butte.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: I am a consultant that travels 100% of the time and when I get away from my busy life, I need to simply unplug. We take every opportunity we can to go to Crested Butte, no matter what time of year! I love the outdoors, am an avid skiier as well as biking, rafting, rock climbing and hiking. This is my idea of what a slice of heaven is like.
Why the Owner Chose Mount Crested Butte, CO, USA:
Crested Butte is one of the last mountain retreats that is not commercialized. It is insulated from the weekend Denver traffic and remains largely untouched. The town has an amazing history and reveres its historic value so much that the town has ordinances in place to keep commercialized franchises out. My daughter loves the fact that Crested Butte doesn't have a single stop light! It is a great venue for family gatherings or to meet up with a group of friends. Our house is in a great location on Mt. Crested Butte, a five to seven minute walk to bustling Mountaineer Square. If you prefer, catch the shuttle bus that picks you up at the end of the our driveway. The views are spectactular and the house is stocked with the necessary creature comforts that help make your getaway memorable.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
The kids love the hot tub anytime of day, any season. We enjoy grilling out, preparing fantastic breakfasts in the gourmet kitchen, and watching movies and playing games by the fireplace in the great room. During our winter visits, on of my favorite things to do is enjoy the steam shower after a day of hard skiing. The house is beautifully laid out and the location is perfect. You can hike the mountains from the house, or take a short 4 mile drive to Gothic to get on BLM trails for serious hikes. The rivers can be reached within a five minute drive. The crown jewel is the ski resort, which is open in the winter for skiing and in the summer for hiking or mountain biking. That is a short walk or shuttle ride away. There are a couple of spas at the resort as well as shopping and eating venues. Beautiful Crested Butte itself is three miles from the house. We have biked that distance before and would like to share with you that the trip down to town is exhilarating and fun on a bike. The return is uphill so if you are not up for that, you can hop on the shuttle bus and your bike can ride on the bus bike rack. We love the town of Crested Butte, not a set of golden arches in sight! Local restaurants make the most of locally available food and we have been enchanted with some of the other shopping options in town. The architecture of the old mining town houses is quaint and well preserved.

Cara: Locked in a RoomMature
"What is that all about?" Anna cornered me as I was washing the pots.
"Sam being a complete-"
"-Don't you say anything about her." I warned. She looked at me as if I'd just slapped her.
"You're seriously defending the way she's being right now?"
"She just had a shock. She heard you and I in the bedroom, thought I was taking your top off..."
"Oh." Anna said, althought she didn't seem sorry.
"She's protective of us. I don't have to tell you how it feels to have to watch someone you love go with someone else."
"Harsh Cara." She muttered.
I sighed.
"I'm just trying to get you to see things from her side. I can't stand it when you and her are at odds. It's like... like two halves of me fighting it out."
"Maybe you'll have to-"
"-Really? You're really going to go there again?"
"I wasn't going to say that. I was going to say, maybe you'll have to draw a line for her, like you did with me. Tell her she needs to loosen the reigns."
"I can't do that. She's fragile."
"She doesn't act like it." Anna snorted.
"Yeah well, would you show your weak side to your girfriends ex, who by the way, still wants me back?"
"I've told you I'll always want that... but I'm not going to try anymore. I get it, you love Sam. Although I have no idea why..."
"That's because she's not your type."
"Oh and she's yours?"
"As a matter of fact, yes."
"Your first choice was me. We're nothing alike, Sam and I."
"You and I lasted three days. It wasn't a relationship and it was mainly based on friendship and the fact that you'd just lost your virginity to an arsehole. And besides, Amy was my first choice. She and Sam are quite alike. And you flipped when you saw me and Amy together. At least Sam hasn't run off on me."
As soon as it was out I realised that was really not a good thing to say.
"Yeah well you know what? At least that showed I was hurt. I cared. Apart from a few good orgasms and lots of money spent, what has she done to show you that?" She hissed. I stared at her, shocked. She seemed to realised what she sounded like and retreated. "Sorry. I shouldn't have said that..."
"She never asked me to choose. That's what shows me she loves me." I replied simply. "And you know what? It's what makes me question whether you really do or not."
I left her then, because I couldn't bear it. I crept in the bedroom and Sam dropped the shirt she'd grabbed to cover herself.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm tired."
"Well we're going to sleep..."
"No. I'm tired of this Sam. Anna may love me, she may just be delusional, but I want her to be my friend, even though I might have just destroyed every chance of that ever happening again. So we need to drop this. I don't want to fight with you. I don't want to fight with her. I just want you two to get along without holding a dagger at the ready to stap the other one if they get too close to me. Anna was trying. That was normal for how we used to be. It's you and me that can't let go of the past Sam. We need to."
"I- I find it difficult."
"I know. I think you and Anna need to have some time, to talk it out, without me there. Both of you will have to promise to not get angry, or give up when you seem to be reasonably happy with each other because obviously that stops at the first sign of trouble. I'm talking a proper conversation. Now you can either do it now, or wait until you've both cooled off. But I want it done. Because I'm sick of being the tennis ball between you."
I sat down on the bed and buried my head in my hands.
"Cara..." I felt her sit on the bed and her hand, soft and warm, began to rub my back. "You know I'd do anything for you, but I doubt Anna is going to want to talk to me."
"I might want to."
I looked up to see Anna in the doorway. She must have followed me.
"Anna." Sam said.
"Look Sam, both of us love Cara and I think she's right. It's going to ruin at least one of us if we don't figure out all of this. We should be friends. And I'm up for having this conversation if you are."
I lookd at Sam who paused to look at me before nodding.
"Ok. For Cara."
"Thanks." I muttered, rubbing my eyes.
"Now or...?" Sam asked Anna who shrugged.
"Now is fine. If it spills over we can finish tomorrow."
"I'll go and leave you two alone." I muttered, kissing Sam on the cheek and standing. Anna hovered awkwardly by the door as I left and closed the door behind me.
"What on earth is going on?" Ali and Megan asked as I re-entered the room. They were sitting up in their sleeping bags, against the sofa.
"Sam and Anna are talking things out."
"You left them in a room together?"
"Should I call the police and ambulance now or...?" Ali teased.
"Not funny. If this doesn't work I really don't know where to go..."
I slumped face first on the sofa.
"Honey, you're caught between two people." Ali said.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious."
"And you are dating one, and best friends with the other."
"Yeah. Once again, thank you Captain Obvious." I smacked a pillow over my head.
"So maybe you're going to have to think about which one is realistically going to last the longest."
I looked out at her slowly.
"Are you suggesting that I choose? After all the shit you pulled out when Anna said that?"
"I'm just saying..."
"I don't really want to talk about it Ali. Can we watch a film or something? I just want to leave them to it."
"Ok." She sighed and went over to the table. "The next Nightmare?"
"No. Some action movie with no soppy crap in it."
