Lives in Osaka by way of Toronto,CA, Japan

About me:
Not to procrastinate...and...ahh...I'll finish this later.
I'm one of the few people I know who shoots with a camera. Most people around me use their smartphones and have no desire to buy a camera anytime in the future.
Mine is bigger than yours!
At least this wooden grip blends in. The one on the Olympus E-P5 luxury edition looks like a glued on afterthought.
jonikon: A thousand dollar camera body and it doesn't come with a viewfinder? Really? So you have to buy the big ugly VF4 EVF separately for another $300 which makes the camera body $1300 and to top it off, it takes blurry pictures! Who in there right mind would buy the E-P5 when the OM-D E-M5 with an EVF and no blurry pictures can be had for around $900? With designs and marketing like this it is little wonder Olympus is in financial difficulties.
Are you talking suggested retail prices? Which market?
Here in Japan, the E-P5 plus VF-4 and 17mm f1.8 is sold in a kit for ¥110,000, or about $1,100 (tax included). I think that is quite reasonable considering the lens alone is about $420 here (¥42,000).
Well, it wouldn't be a first. Back in the pre-m4/3's days, weren't the Zuiko 18-180mm and 70-300mm Sigma designed? The only difference is that those were low end "standard" lenses. The 75mm 1.8mm is a higher end product.
What I'd be more interested in finding out is if Olympus is actually manufacturing the 75mm. Considering that almost everything else in their product line is made in China, and sales of the old regular 4/3's lenses that were made in Japan are pretty much as dead as that system, it wouldn't surprise me if the 75mm is made in Japan by Sigma. I can't imagine Olympus are keeping a lens factory running to produce only 2 high end, limited market lenses (the 75mm and 12mm).
Another company manufacturing for Olympus wouldn't be a first either. If I remember correctly, the original E-1 camera, the only E system camera to have been manufactured in Japan, was built by Sanyo.
This company does not produce photographic equipment, it produces lifestyle accessories in low volumes with high mark ups.
This camera's release should not be reported by dpreview, but rather by "Wallpaper" magazine or something similar.
Am I imagining things, or is that a black version of the 17mm f1.8?
Chris_in_Osaka: I've owned an E-1, E-300, E-3, E-420 and E-620. None of those cameras come close to the experience I have shooting with my OM-D.
I even dumped my 5D Mark II after realizing the OM-D is so right for me.
Now, going back to full frame in the future is a possibility if I find I need more shallow depth of field, which I really don't. Going back to regular 4/3'S? Never.
I think most people who have switched from 4/3's to the micro 4/3's in the form of the OM-D would agree. I'd rather see them shut down their 4/3's development and invest that money in further micro 4/3's improvements. Oly can't afford to have the 4/3's albatross around it's neck weighing it down in an increasingly exciting and competitive mirrorless market.
Also, never mind camera bodies, they also can't afford to have a factory in Tatsuno, Japan producing super high grade lenses virtually nobody buys.
How about gradually phasing out the 4/3's lenses while introducing high grade, weather-sealed Zuiko lenses for micro 4/3's?
I would love a 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 lens (my favorite when I owned the E-3) redesigned for m4/3's as opposed to the continued production of lenses (i.e. 35-100mm) that don't sell these days. Considering the numbers of m4/3's user out their (whether or not they are hobbyists or Sunday shooters), it seems like more of a bonehead move to continue to try to cater to pro 4/3's users that, and lets be honest, don't exist, at least not in the numbers that they could operate a lens production facility in Japan without loosing money.
The best option IMHO is to further improve the top m4/3's model specs (whether the OMD or a yet to be released body) and introduce lenses built to the same high standards as the 4/3's HG and SHG range. That's the niche they need to build on. That's there competitive advantage. Not a new E-X camera that that weighs the same as a 5D Mark-X.
I've owned an E-1, E-300, E-3, E-420 and E-620. None of those cameras come close to the experience I have shooting with my OM-D.

Also, never mind camera bodies, they also can't afford to have a factory in Tatsuno, Japan producing super high grade lenses virtually nobody buys.
Well, I guess it's no different than what the Japanese did way back in the day when they stuck the names of once great German makers ( Contax, Voigtlander Leica etc.) on their cameras to lend them credibility. Many still do it today. I've owned Zeiss, Voigtlander and Leica lenses, all of which were made in Japan ( Cosina and Panasonic), though it could be argued tat in the case of Zeiss and Leica that there is some input in either the design or manufacturing process.
Awesome, now I can buy two!!
OLYMPUS, how about the quality and value of 4/3's lenses FOR MICRO FOUR THIRDS? As a former 4/3's user (various E system cameras from the E-1 up to the E-3) and current m4/3 user (E-PL3 and OM-D), I WON'T EVER be going back to the E system (if I want to lug around a heavy body, I've got a 5D Mark II...which I hardly touch now thanks to the OM-D), but I miss the High Grade and Super High Grade lens range, the mid level High Grade in particular (competitively priced plus lens hoods and cases included). Please, enough with the overpriced plastic on one end and Leica wannabe metal lenses on the other...give me a designed for m4/3 weather sealed 50-200mm 2.8-3.5 and so on.
I find it amazing that these guys had the foresight to do this, considering that in 1982 the looked stuck in the 70's, in 1992 they looked stuck in the 80's....but all that doesn't matter now in 2012 because with age comes the privilege of being timelessly out of style :-)
Finally, Canon have joined the mirrorless market, even if they are the last ones to the party. Next, perhaps they'll release something to compete with the excellent Olympus OM-D....in about 3 years or so from now.
"The optional LH-61F Lens Hood and the LC-61 Lens Cap metallic lens accessories are designed exclusively for the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75mm f1.8. "
For the 12mm f2's lens hood, Olympus is asking about $100. Any idea about how much they'll push the price of the 75mm lens hood to?
IcyVeins: LOL CANON'S FINISHED NOW! GOODBYE TO THE OLD DINOSAUR! LONG LIVE SONY!
Sony? They've got bigger problems than light leaks. Don't you read the news? "Long live.." is a funny expression to use for a company that just lost $6.4 billion, has just announced the first cut of 10,000 workers etc etc.
healer81: Lens looks interesting, especially for canon shooters since nikon already has a 14-24 which is spectacular. Canon doesnt have an answer for super wide angle at this moment so this lens will accommodate.
People in this site is always complaining about something, dont mind them.
"Canon doesnt have an answer for super wide angle at this moment so this lens will accommodate."
What do mean? How about the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM or the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM?
Beautiful design but considering the price...
My Tokina 16-28mm from full frame with constant f2.8 and weather sealing cost me about $850 here in Japan. I can't see myself buying the Zeiss unless I was a professional capable of writing off the price as a business expense, though I don't imagine I'd be doing that even then.
Baseman: Follow the leader leader leader, follow the leader.
Only reason Apple is doing so good is cause of it's marketing and ability to make you the consumer 'think' it's better than everything else. Funny there's still no memory card slot. Hmmmm.....better than the rest, I think not! It's only Apple's followers who will fight tooth and nail to proclaim it's the best. Still waiting for that memory card expansion. Oh wait, you'll never see it cause Apple can make you pay a lot more to get only a little. I like the ability to swap memory cards. Fill one, switch it for another. Need to transfer data across any platform, no problem with a memory card. But ooops, sorry Apple people, I'm talking another language to you. Just remember, Apple only wants your money by making you think you can't live without their product. Time to WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!
Time for you to wake up and do a little research before going on a rant. There are all sorts of 3rd part drives and adapters available for the ipad. Google "hyperdrive ipad", or "iflashdrive" to start.
In the end, most people don't use these because they are syncing their device to their main computer.

No More Idaho Teacher Early Retirement?
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A bill ending an early retirement incentives program for teachers has cleared a committee and is headed to the Senate floor. The program was axed by Idaho's education overhaul, but reinstated after voters repealed the measures in November. Boise Republican Sen. Cliff Bayer said the program is intended to save the state money, but data shows many teachers retire early regardless of the extra benefits.

"BONE-SHATTERING": How Fox Nation Talks About Anti-Obama Ads
It's been a rough year for President Obama at the Fox Nation website, where he's been pulverized, slayed, shredded, vaporized, roasted, taken to the woodshed, and shattered into a million pieces.
Fox Nation, Fox News' clearinghouse for anti-Obama conspiracy theories [1] and blatant race-baiting [2], has spent much of the past year promoting political ads from various conservative groups and candidates. The site has been particularly devoted to posting ads from American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, the political groups started by Fox News employee Karl Rove.
The Fox Nation headlines hyping Crossroads' ads frequently move past the typical "slams" and "criticizes" descriptors employed by headline writers at most other news outlets. As explained by the blog News Corpse last year in a post [3]highlighting some of Fox Nation's over-the-top headlines, "by Fox News standards any time someone criticizes someone else they are either obliterated, demolished, destroyed, annihilated, crushed, torched, or nuked. Particularly if the criticism is directed to President Obama or a Democrat."
For example, a Crossroads ad was featured at Fox Nation last month with this understated headline [4]:
According to Fox Nation, in recent months Obama has also been crushed [5] and slayed [6] by ads from Rove groups, and shredded [7] by an RNC ad:
Fox Nation's over-the-top descriptions of the horrors visited on Obama aren't limited to its headlines promoting Crossroads ads. In the past year, Obama has also been shattered [8] "into a million pieces" by Rush Limbaugh:
Taken to the woodshed [9]:
Pulverized [10] (twice [11]):
Roasted [12]:
Slugged [13]:
And vaporized [14]:
- Network/Outlet
- Fox Nation [15]

DNR Wildlife Research website developed
MEDIA CONTACT: DNR Wildlife Research Unit Leader Willie Suchy at 515-281-8660 or firstname.lastname@example.com
DES MOINES ― Wildlife research conducted by DNR research staff about Iowa's wildlife has been gathered in two places for interested Web users. Research for particular species is at www.iowadnr.gov/Environment/WildlifeSte ... ports.aspx.
For comprehensive research on Iowa's wildlife, go to: www.iowadnr.gov/Environment/WildlifeSte ... ports.aspx.
"Since redesigning our website a couple of years ago, we've had questions about where our wildlife research and diversity information is located," said Willie Suchy, DNR wildlife research unit leader. "We've organized our latest research information by the species specialty of our various wildlife research stations: deer, turkey and forest game; upland wildlife and grasslands; waterfowl and wetlands; furbearers; nongame wildlife; and surveys of people's observations and concerns about Iowa's wildlife. The newest reports are listed first."
As new research is completed, those research papers and reports will be posted to or linked from this new web page.

MEDIA CONTACT: Environmental Services Division Administrator Bill Ehm at 515-281-5817 or email@example.com
DES MOINES ― The DNR has created a website for Iowa Water Plan documents at www.iowadnr.gov/IowaWaterPlan to provide everyone access to how the DNR manages the state's water resources.
"Comprehensive water planning is a huge task to undertake at one time," said Bill Ehm, division administrator for the DNR's Environmental Services Division. "In recent years plans have been written to address particular water concerns of the Iowa General Assembly. We've combined those plans with background reports like the legal responsibilities of federal, state and local governments already on the books, so that Iowans can understand the considerations that go into water planning by reading about it chapter by chapter."
Documents on the website include the report on mitigating flood risk created by the Water Resources Coordinating Council in 2009, Water Rights and Allocation, Iowa's Water Monitoring Plan, Iowa's Nonpoint Source Management Plan, the State Water Trails plan and historical efforts at water planning.
Plans under development, such as the final Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy and a plan for water resources management during severe drought, will be available from this page when they are completed.

Toss in Nokia's new sugar daddy with the ability to print money and Tuesday morning's news could double the speed at which BlackBerry's board decides what to do with the company. It's not like BlackBerry doesn't have some parts of value. The enterprise services division could be useful to a big computer company like IBM while BBM might have some value to Google or even Microsoft. The handsets and software group could be a good acquisition for upstart Chinese manufacturers like Lenovo. Earlier this year Lenovo expressed an interest in buying BlackBerry, although those comments were said to have been taken out of context. Back in February, living legend Steve Wozniak predicted that BlackBerry would end up using the Android OS to take advantage of the company's strong hardware.
Now that Nokia has Microsoft's cash behind them, the smartphone business becomes even harder for BlackBerry to compete in. BlackBerry's board has a tough decision ahead of them and certainly they know that doing nothing is not an option. Third place, which seemed like a reachable and realistic goal for BlackBerry at the beginning of the year, now might as well be 10 million light years away. It's no longer Nokia that BlackBerry is challenging, it's Microsoft, and that is a battle that Thorsten Heins and crew cannot win.

Heat Wrap, And The Sound I Was Looking For.
Some of you may know that I made the mistake of buying a off brand ebay downpipe which resulted in an incorrect fit that I had to fix with a drill and some elbow grease and an annoying vibration of the DP rubbing the bottom of the car. I decided to buy some header wrap at a local automotive store and wrap the hell out of the spot that rubs. I ended up wrapping the entire thing and got more than I bargained for. A. The vibration IS GONE! B. Reduced high frequency exhaust noises. I got the exhaust sound I've been searching for. I recommend it to everyone.
just let us know if it cracks from all the heat. I'd like to do the same thing.
So far I've put about 300 miles on it and been through some driving conditions that I cannot speak of on this forum. The DP had remarkably good welds on it and 3/8 in flange. They claimed it was stainless steel but more than likely it was nickel plated iron. So far so good. If it does crack I'll just have to buy a name brand one.
You shouldnt have to worry about the cracks as much as you should corrision which will then lead to crakcs. But if you rappwed it and the DP was in good condition, clean it should last you a good while before, if any, misfortune happens upon you.

A scientist was killed when he ran into a fallen power line that engineers left live because they did not believe it was a threat to safety.
Dr James Kew, 41, was hit by 11,000 volts as he came into contact with the dangling cable on an evening jog.
Dog walker Roger Musgrove had called UK Power Networks to warn staff about the fallen wire and beg them to turn it off shortly before the 41-year-old researcher ran into it, an inquest jury was told.
Although the faulty line was identified 14 minutes before the accident, network manager David Child said he would not have deactivated it until an engineer had assessed the damage.
He told jurors: "I've never directed anyone to de-energise a line purely on the advice of a member of the public without any corroborative evidence.
"That is why I wanted an engineer to go there.
"I admit that I didn't appreciate the danger of the situation. I wish something else had happened.
"It has had a deep effect on me and I would like to give my condolences to the family."
The inquest jury returned a narrative verdict which said: "Dr Kew accidentally died as a result of coming into contact with a high voltage electrical cable which had been previously reported, and was in the process of being responded to, where the power had not been deactivated through an under-estimation of the threat to life."
Coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray said she was thinking of writing a Preventing Future Deaths report to the relevant agencies to try to prevent such a tragedy happening again.
Biologist Dr Kew, from Ashden, Essex, worked at GlaxoSmithKline.
The "very gifted scientist" died while out running at nearby Newport in July 2012.
The inquest jury heard UK Power Networks had since tightened its policy so electricity cables are immediately turned off once a fault is identified.
After the inquest, the firm said: "Our thoughts at UK Power Networks are with Mrs Kew, her sons, their family and friends at this sad time and we'd like to repeat the condolences that we expressed to them following Dr Kew's death."

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has a chance to build upon his at-times impressive 431-yard outing from last week with a good game against a beatable Bengals secondary on Sunday. But his path to Cincinnati has hit a snag that doesn't seem like anything big right now but could be huge during the game. Tannehill was put on the team's injury report Friday due to an injury to the thumb on his throwing hand. He is listed as probable, and not much is known about the injury or how it occurred.
Fantasy Analysis:
Even with four starting quarterbacks on bye and Jake Locker injured, you're probably not starting Tannehill. He joined Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III to become the third rookie QB to throw for at least 1,000 yards in his first four games, but he still has a 2:7 touchdown-to-turnover ratio. The big worry is if Tannehill's bum thumb will hurt his ability to get the ball to Brian Hartline , who is FFToolbox's No. 23 WR this week. I guess we'll find out.

Cortland State has been sitting under the radar this season despite being undefeated in a pretty good conference, only breaking into the Top 25 this week. Justin Autera was making sure his team didn't go down on the road at TCNJ this week. The sophomore running back caught the ball in open field, with 14 yards to go to the end zone. TCNJ defensive backs may think they have an angle on him. This clip has three angles on him.

Ky-Mani Marley Reggae music video collection
Ky-mani (born February 26, 1976) is a Jamaican reggae and dancehall artist whose East African name means Adventurous Traveler. The only child of table tennis champion Anita Belnavis and reggae icon Bob Marley, Ky-mani Marley was born in Falmouth, Jamaica. At the age of nine he relocated to the inner-city of Miami.
In beginning, Ky-Mani was unaware of his musical abilities, sports being his first love, but with his mother's direction, he took piano and guitar lessons and played trumpet in his high school band. In addition to tapping into his musical talents Ky-Mani was a serious jock, competing in soccer and football. As a teenager Ky-Mani started rapping and deejaying; his first single was "Unnecessary Badness". He became inspired as a singer after being asked to sing a hook to a song during a recording session at a studio in Miami. The decision to actually get into the entertainment world loomed over him because of his father's legacy. Ky-Mani soon began experimenting with laying tracks, at times with his brothers, Stephen, Julian and Damian.
Ky-Mani signed to Shang Records where he recorded his debut album in 1996 titled Like Father Like Son and several singles: "Judge Not" with Patra, followed by "Dear Dad" (which topped the British reggae charts), "Who The Cap Fit (remix)", and "Sensimelia", all of which added to his growing reputation as a master in the new generation of reggae musicians. In 1997, Ky-Mani joined forces with Praswell (Fugees) on a hit cover of Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue". The extent of his star power became abundantly clear when Ky-Mani took the stage at Midem (international music showcase), when it was held in Miami for the first time. Catering to an international audience in the filled to capacity Cameo Theatre, Ky-Mani delivered an explosive set which aired live by CANA (Caribbean News Agency) to 36 countries.

Airlines setting foot and taking off in Europe are soon going to be included in the European Union's Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) and are expected to pay 15% of their permits in ETS auction starting 2012, according to this Reuters article.
The proposal, which was approved by Member States last week Friday, is expected to cut aviation emissions by 3% in 2012 and 5% onwards.
With skyrocketing fuel prices, guess who's going to pay for the imposed cap and trade scheme under the heading "Environmental taxes and surcharges"?
According to BusinessGreen.com, airline ticket prices are expected to rise by EUR 10 for short haul flights and between EUR 30 and EUR 40 for longer haul flights.
Of course, this proposal do not fly well with the Association of European Airlines (AEA). The group forecasted plummeting profits for the industry and market share as well as greenhouse gas emissions shifts from European carriers to non-European rivals.
"It is unacceptable that we should face the prospect of having to buy permits to purchase fuel – at grossly inflated prices – to zigzag our way around Europe's patchwork airspace."
AEA said it prefers the European Commission's revised Single European Sky (SES) program as a way to cut aviation emissions.
The revised SES program is expected to optimize air traffic management in Europe which has the potential to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by 10% per flight.
Public advocates are not far from the scene demanding the European Parliament to include the aviation industry in the EU ETS as soon as possible.

GM Falls After CFO Lowers Outlook on Remainder of 2014
General Motors Co. (GM) shares faded after an initial rally as the automaker said its first-quarter performance, which beat analysts' estimates, pulled ahead earnings from later in the year.
Results for the first three months of the year beat analysts' estimates by 25 cents a share after GM avoided posting its first quarterly loss in more than four years as higher prices on new pickups largely made up for the costs of recalls.
"We performed better than expected in the first quarter so we'll have to trim some of the expectations Q2 through Q4," Chief Financial Officer Chuck Stevens told analysts today on a conference call. Stevens reiterated the company's earnings forecast for the year, which calls for modest improvement in earnings before interest and taxes.
GM shares fell 0.6 percent to close at $34.17 in New York after reaching a high of $35.70 shortly after the market opened. That leaves the automaker's shares down 16 percent for the year.
"On a full-year basis, it shouldn't matter to the long-term story, but those that want to game quarters would be disappointed by what was said today," David Whiston, an analyst with Morningstar Inc., said today in a telephone interview.
Changing Shape
GM's forecast in January was for an usually small portion - - 10 percent to 15 percent -- of the year's earnings to come in the first quarter because of the timing of vehicle introductions and restructuring costs, Stevens said. The first quarter exceeded 15 percent of the year's earnings, he said.
"We have not changed our view for the year which was overall, excluding the impact of recalls, we expected earnings to be up in aggregate, relatively flat margins," Stevens said. "We've changed the shape of the curve."
With its new Chevrolet Silverado selling for higher prices than the previous version, GM did better than analysts had predicted. The company has faced criticism for its slow response to complaints about small cars with ignition switches linked to at least 13 deaths. And with a $1.3 billion charge for the cost of recalling 7 million vehicles this year, some analysts had predicted that the Detroit-based automaker would lose money for the first time since 2009.
The stock reacted positively this morning "because they just didn't post a loss -- it almost didn't matter what the number was as long as it was above zero," Christian Mayes, an analyst with Edward Jones, said today in a telephone interview. "Some investors are probably wiping their brow that it wasn't a loss and thinking this is probably the worst quarter for these issues."
'Positive Response'
Profit excluding one-time items was 29 cents a share, GM said today in a statement, beating the 4-cent average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with 67 cents a share a year earlier.
Improved pricing in North America, particularly from GM's new full-size trucks, helped boost earnings, GM said. Profit fell to $213 million from $1.18 billion. North American adjusted earnings before interest and taxes fell to $557 million from $1.4 billion. The average of four analysts estimates was $522 million.
"The performance of our core operations was very strong this quarter, reflecting the positive response of customers to the new vehicles we are bringing to the market," Mary Barra, who became chief executive officer on Jan. 15, said in a prepared statement.
GM's revenue rose to $37.4 billion from $36.9 billion a year earlier, missing the $37.9 billion estimate of six analysts.
Recall Crisis
Barra has struggled to contain a recall crisis that erupted Feb. 13 with the notice about faulty Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compact cars that's expanded to 2.59 million vehicles with potentially faulty ignition switches linked to the deaths of at least 13 people. Congress, federal regulators and the U.S. Justice Department are all investigating why it took the automaker more than a decade to recall cars with switches that allowed the key to slip out of the "on" position, shutting off the engine and disabling air bags.
Since the ignition-switch recall, 60 putative class actions suits have been filed against GM in the U.S. and Canada, the company said today in a filing.
"In the aggregate, these cases seek recovery for compensatory damages, including for alleged diminution in value of the vehicles, punitive damages and injunctive and other relief," GM said.
Government Inquiries
The company also said its received "various inquiries, investigations, subpoenas and requests for information" from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, Congress, NHTSA, the SEC, and a state attorney general.
GM took the $1.3 billion charge in the quarter for recalls of about 7 million vehicles so far this year. It spent about $700 million related to the ignition switches and cylinders in the 2.59 million small cars, including about $300 million for loaner cars, said Stevens.
Stevens declined to forecast future recall-related costs.
"That's too early to predict," he told reporters at GM's headquarters. "The charges that we've taken in Q1 are based on what we know today. As issues come up, we're going to deal with them aggressively and put our customers first."
Lower Expectations
Even before the ignition-switch recall, GM was trying to lower expectations for the year. In January, the company said it expected adjusted earnings before interest and taxes to improve "modestly" this year as improved performance in the U.S. and China would be largely offset by $1.1 billion in restructuring costs. Adjusted Ebit would be softer in the first quarter because of losses associated with currencies and costs to roll out new trucks, executives said.
GM reported a $419 million one-time loss for Venezuelan currency devaluation and $8 million in other charges.
GM has lost market share in the U.S. as it has reduced dependence on fleet sales and big customer incentives.
Average transaction prices of its full-size light-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups increased almost $3,000 to $35,652 in the quarter from a year earlier, according to a presentation by Alan Batey, head of GM's North American operations and Chevrolet brand, in New York last week. Light-duty Silverado pricing improved by $6,000 to $36,431, helped by a richer mix of higher-end models being sold.
'Very Pleased'
The higher prices helped offset a decline in U.S. sales during the quarter as fierce winter weather in January and February kept shoppers out of dealers' showrooms. GM's U.S. sales decreased 2.3 percent in the quarter after improving 4.1 percent in March, according to researcher Autodata Corp.
Improved pricing in North America, particularly from GM's new full-size trucks, boosted revenue by $1.7 billion while costs for new the product's materials rose $1 billion resulting in about $700 million of improved profit, Stevens said.
"We're selling a higher penetration of up-level trim," he said. "We're very, very pleased with the performance of the trucks both from an overall mix perspective but also the level of content on the trucks."
While sales in Europe showed signs of improvement during the first three months of the year, rising 0.7 percent, GM continued to lose money in the region. The adjusted Ebit loss grew to $284 million from a loss of $152 million a year ago, the company said. The average of four analysts' estimates was a loss of $436 million.
Europe's losses include about $200 million in restructuring costs related to closing a German assembly plant, Stevens said.
'Strong Performance'
"Clearly the headline results are overshadowed by the recall campaign charges -- $1.3 billion -- but when you look underneath that we had strong performance across the board," he said.
GM's best sales results, a 13 percent jump in deliveries in China, were largely overshadowed by continued losses in other overseas markets. GM's so-called International Operations unit, which covers essentially everything outside of the Americas and Europe, fell to an adjusted Ebit of $252 million, exceeding the $18 million average of four analysts' estimates. A year earlier, the unit earned $472 million.
China provided $605 million in Ebit, up from $555 million a year earlier, Henderson said. That would suggest the rest of the group lost $353 million.

Apple has sold an almost ridiculous 1.7 million iPhone 4 handsets in its opening weekend, running Thursday through Saturday. This breaks every prediction we saw last week, and almost triples the 600,000 pre-orders reported by Apple just a week before the new iPhone went on sale.
"This is the most successful product launch in Apple's history," said Steve Jobs in an Apple press release. Even so, pre-ordering glitches and flat-out supply shortages kept Apple from selling even more. Jobs again: "Even so, we apologize to those customers who were turned away because we did not have enough supply."
The customer pays $200 (16 GB) or $300 (32 GB) for an iPhone 4, but Apple gets more than that from AT&T. To find out how much, let's take the prices from the few countries where the handsets are sold unlocked — France, Canada and Britain. Converted into U.S. dollars, we get the following:
Taking into account that all Apple products get more expensive as they cross the Atlantic, we'll be conservative and use the Canadian prices. Taking the mean of the two prices (and rounding them) we get $670 in U.S. dollars. Let's multiply that by 1.7 million to get Apple's total sales for the weekend (not counting the newly discounted iPhone 3G or the still-hot iPad). The number? $1,139,000,000, or well over a billion dollars. Not a bad start.

Lindsay Lohan talks to Oprah
Lindsay Lohan talked to Oprah last night and said she's serious about turning her life around this time.
She said, "In this case, I wasn't fighting at all. I just let go and was able to just be like, 'OK you probably do know what's best, because my idea of doing what's best for me has not worked in the past."
She said that alcohol is her drug of choice. She tried cocaine 10 or 15 times and hated it.
She added that she's not even on any prescriptions, except for Nexium . . . which is for acid reflux.
She said, "I feel whole again, and I have such a desire to want to keep this feeling and stay this way, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes."

The Pyjama Game is very good, not least as a beginner(like me)'s introduction to the big personalities of judo, from the uk and abroad. ↲
Bjj-friendly, it also recounts the legendary battle at the budokwai between roger gracie and nakamura (olympic gold medallist) when neither knew who the other were. I have heard simon hayes describe it too, but unfortunately neither he nor the author will give away the out come...
Also worth buying to read Steve Gawthorpe's riposte to being told that his oppnent had 'died' and been rescusitated from a choke.
Nice one. I'm not much of a book reader to be honest, but I'm having a quiet spell at work and I need something to help pass the time.
I've got in on order.
It's pretty good, nice history of Judo and chapters on some of the big names of Judo through the years, though I found the parts where the author discusses his own journey through Judo weak in comparison. Angry White Pyjamas is as much better read imo.
Definitely worth reading. I enjoyed it.
Agree with Sir Taps, great intro to history of judo to voyeurs like me, but the whole self discovery journey is a bit boring, I mean, you could read any one of a thousand boring blogs to get that kinda stuff
Meerkatsu's BJJ Blog
Syd Hoare's "A-Z of Judo" is imo a very good book indeed.
If it had been Margarida or a "less polite" bjj player instead of Roger that could have been interesting.
As a general statement, in a serious newaza spar, Roger would submit any prime world and olympic judo champion from history and that would i guess include a retired world and olympic judo champion >= 25kg lighter and 8 years older than him such as Kenzo.
Guess what, in serious randori, they would all throw him for revenge
How would they do in Chess, can't tell.
I rolled with Kenzo and had no idea who he was and he beat me up. Asking someone on the sidelines later if "he" was any good elicited a peal of laughter and a recap of Kenzo's resume.
The author has an interesting turn of phrase and i think his book is well worth a read but yes some parts are better than others.
Angry White Pyjamas (reviewed that here) is also good, though he does make some very bizarre errors about the UFC and BJJ, saying that the Gracie family went to Japan in order to learn jiu jitsu, and that UFC 3 was held in Tokyo.
I enjoyed it - a very good read.

Submitted to: Geospatial Information in Agriculture and Forestry International Conference
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/7/1999
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Precision crop management (PCM) is an emerging agricultural management system designed to match management actions, such as fertilization levels, seeding rates, and variety selection, to changing field conditions. To satisfy the intense PCM requirements for crop and soil information, many practitioners are eager to use images from aircraft- or satellite-based sensors. The objective of this report was to assess the suitability of remote sensing technology for PCM applications. The three primary limitations of remotely sensed imagery for PCM were found to be the lack of an available orbiting system to provide regular images, the gap between user needs and available products, and the failure of research scientists to involve users in their research and to promote technology transfer. These limitations may soon be remedied with (1) the recent launch of a commercial satellite-based sensor; (2) the increase in the number of companies offering such quantitative remote sensing products as weed maps, insect maps, and more; and (3) the recent change in research laboratory environments to reward scientists for technology transfer and involvement of users in research program development. These advances should help remote sensing achieve its potential as an information source for PCM. Beneficiaries include agricultural producers, researchers, and consultants and providers of remote sensing products and information.
Technical Abstract: The objective of this paper was to assess remote sensing technology for precision farm management (PCM). The primary limitations were found to be the lack of an image-based remote sensing system dedicated to providing PCM-scale information, the gap between user needs and available products, and the failure of research scientists to involve users in their research and to promote technology transfer. These limitations may soon be remedied because of (1) the recent launch of the first commercial high-resolution satellite-based sensor, which will meet many PCM information requirements, and the pending launches of several more suitable commercial sensors; (2) responses of image providers to user requests for quantitative, validated products and individual help with image product interpretation; and (3) institution of systems by university and government research laboratories to reward research scientists for technology transfer and for involving users in research program development.

On Friday and Monday we publish the problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Guardian Money supplement, so readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy's own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
Today I experienced something at work that has unsettled and demoralised me. My line manager's boss, the head of our company, attacked me verbally in front of four other colleagues. My relationship with this individual has always been remote due to an incident that happened quite early on in my employment with the company, when he failed to support me in something. He has an extremely close relationship with my line manager.
Since this early incident I have had a relationship of contrived banter but nothing more. The banter has always been reciprocal (or so I thought) and quite raucous, but today I obviously went too close to the bone in a remark I made about his lack of support as his reaction was adverse to the tone we have always maintained. He furiously warned me, jabbing his finger angrily and saying, "Don't push me, I'm not joking, I'm serious, don't push me", and stormed out. I know enough of his character to know he will never address this incident with me, nor make himself available to discuss it.
I realise that does not sound like much as I relay this, but the essential outcome was that I was left humiliated in front of colleagues as his overt dislike, and disrespect, toward me was keenly felt by everyone. Am I being too sensitive? Should I just forget it and accept his dislike or is it time to move on?

Ontario is promising to put a stop to cellphone "shock," a move certain to be applauded by consumers who have been stung by painful cancellation fees and obscure contract language.
But Canada's major phone companies are growing increasingly troubled by a patchwork of provincial regulations they say is driving up costs.
Premier Dalton McGuinty's minority government announced Thursday it plans to beef up consumer protection by, among other measures, allowing cellphone users to cancel their contracts at any time, while placing a ceiling on penalties.
In doing so, Ontario becomes the fourth province after Quebec, Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador to step into the vacuum left by the federal telecommunications regulator, which decided against active regulation of wireless contracts almost two decades ago.
While the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission had originally deemed the sector sufficiently competitive to warrant a hands-off approach back in 1994, consumers have become increasingly incensed in recent years by confusing contract language in a $17-billion market dominated by three national carriers.
"The concern that we have is that with all these different regulations popping up across the country, it is actually going to increase costs to consumers," said Bernard Lord, president of the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, which represents the big three telecommunications companies, as well as new entrants. "Because companies will have to comply to different sets of rules and regulations and standards from province to province."
The Ontario government says its Wireless Services Agreement Act will adopt measures originally introduced in a private member's bill from MPP David Orazietti.
"The lack of competition in the sector at present has created these one-sided contract that clearly disadvantage consumers," said Mr. Orazietti, MPP for Sault Ste. Marie.
Ontario feels compelled to act, he said, because the federal government has demonstrated an "unwillingness" to protect consumers.
"Take for example cancellation fees. Right now, the cancellation fees are outrageous and they are gouging consumers," he said.
The proposed legislation would give consumers the right to exit their wireless contracts at any time. While cancellation costs would vary based on the type of contract, there would be a cap placed on those fees to ensure they remain "modest."
For example, for fixed-term contracts where a phone was not provided, the maximum cost to cancel would be $50 or 10 per cent of the remaining payments under the contract, whichever is less, the province said.
If a free or subsidized phone was included in a contract, cancellation costs would be pro-rated to the cost of the device.
The legislation would also require "the express consent" of consumers to renew, extend or change a contract and force wireless carriers to use easy-to-understand contract language to provide more clarity around costs among other measures. Mr. Orazietti said he's confident the legislation will garner all-party support in the legislature.
Industry reaction was mixed. New entrants are applauding the proposed bill. "This is a good day for consumer protection," said Anthony Lacavera, chief executive of Wind Mobile. Those sentiments were echoed by Mobilicity president Stewart Lyons, who said Ontario is protecting consumers from "restrictive, oppressive wireless practices."
A spokesman for Telus Corp. , meanwhile, said it appears the company already meets or exceeds many of the proposed measures. For instance, Telus already has plain-language contracts and does not have penalties for early termination because consumers are only expected to pay the unrecovered subsidy on the device to exit an agreement.
Leigh-Ann Popek, a Rogers Communications Inc. spokeswoman, said the company is reviewing Ontario's proposal. "Generally speaking we support standards that deliver clarity and transparency to customers," she said.
The CWTA and companies like Rogers and Telus are urging the CRTC to implement a national consumer protection code for wireless services to create uniform standards across the country.
Earlier this month, the CRTC announced that it will hold a consultation to determine whether it should actively regulate wireless service contracts. A decision is expected later this year.Report Typo/Error

I thought you folks might like seeing this really OLD cork sealed (unopened full with original contents) bottle of machine gun oil :smile: that I bought at an Estate Sale years ago. Amazingly the oil is still perfectly yellowish clear and in perfect condition. It's still as perfect as the day it was bottled up!
It reads SPERMACETI MACHINE GUN OIL...underneath that...Pure Sperm & then I cannot read the rest....sorry.
Those WERE THE DAYS when you could walk into the store & plunk down a few pennies for a nice bottle of the finest, highest, quality Sperm Oil for your Fully Automatic Machine Gun. :biggrin:
No oil could ever compare to Pure Sperm Oil to properly lubricate full auto High Rate Of Fire weapons!
Oh...& By The Way...my hand is NOT purple Colored...I don't know WHAT HAPPENED to the colors in this photo. The oil is actually BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN YELLOW.

On Sunday night, the driver of a white Honda Accord was spotted driving through Oak Park Cemetery, located at 410 Sycamore Ave. They left behind quite a bit of damage: three smashed gravestones, a broken water pipe that was shooting water into the air and tire marks across the grassy area. Entire Story Tree trimming closes lane at Monte Vista February 25, 2014 3:30 PM Even with tree trimming in the news of late, it didn't stop Claremont from tending to the many city trees Tuesday in need of a seasonal trim along Monte Vista Avenue and Claremont Boulevard. Even with one lane closed much of the day, traffic remained light. Claremont and most of Southern California is preparing for what could be one of the largest rain events in the past two years. At this point, there's almost a 100 percent chance of rain Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. With highs staying in the upper 50s, snow may fall significantly only at higher elevations. COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger Entire Story City uses annual workshop to stay focused on goals February 25, 2014 3:25 PM Claremont officials took a break from the frenzy of municipal duties on Saturday to refocus on city goals at the council's annual priorities workshop. Taking a timeout didn't mean taking a step away from city business. The yearly meeting provides an opportunity for council members and residents alike to revisit the city's hot button issues and come up with a list of high-ranking agenda items for the coming year. "By setting these priorities, we are saying for the next several months these are the things that we want to spend most of our energy and focus on very intently," said Mayor Opanyi Nasiali. Entire Story Claremont City Manager's report focuses on public use projects February 25, 2014 2:37 PM The city recently installed two dual-mount electric vehicle charging stations for public use, states City Manager Tony Ramos in his weekly report. One station is located in the Village parking structure, on the first floor of the south side, and the other station is on the west side of Claremont City Hall. There are two chargers per station, and both are operable 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Temperatures in the area were very warm over the weekend however a series of winter storms are predicted for later this week that could generate over an inch of much needed rain. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Entire Story Is Claremont still the city of trees? February 23, 2014 2:57 PM City of Trees is more than just a nickname in Claremont. It's a way of life. The area's lush urban forest is a huge draw for many of the city's inhabitants, a notable part of the local landscape since the late 1800s. The ongoing drought and recent debate over the city's tree trimming policies, however, have called that title into question. One example is this tree on the 2200 block of Indian Hill Boulevard, above. "It goes beyond simply calling ourselves the City of Trees. The value of trees here in Claremont is much more than the altruistic aspect of protecting the environment, but defines our community's culture and livability," said Claremont resident Barnabas Path.

Total housing inventory remains low too, with only around 50 homes on the market. Some of January's statistics are misleading, as sales were actually a lower than this time last year. Because of several high dollar home sales, the averages shifted upwards. Some of these homes were actually on the market for several years. Entire Story Apparent suicide on Tenth Street February 19, 2014 3:15 PM A Claremont resident was found dead in the front yard of his home in the 800 block of Tenth Street on Wednesday afternoon.

I resigned from Snorg in January.
This was a personal choice and everything ended on good terms.
To be honest, my heart wasn't really in it.
Over the years, I have become really good friends with the photographer and I adore Maggie and Matt, but it was just time for me to move on. I'm getting older (as we all are) and I felt that with a position open, they could replace me with another young girl and help make her dreams come true.
It was fun while it lasted and I'm grateful for everything they did for me.
I want to focus on my art and my relationship. These are where my happiness is now.
Thanks to all of you for your constant support and comments. I hope my career change doesn't deter any of you from visiting.
Have a great day!

Knott Just Another Quote - Aesthetics - Art is...
Expand Messages
- Dear Art Educators.
Randy Menninghaus just made it so easy for me to pick Aesthetics as the word
for today (I know I did beauty already)
From Randy Menninghaus - A Recipe for Art:
"Close your eyes, begin to turn. Think of the best things you have done in
your life. Think of the first time you saw the sea. The first time you had
whipped cream. Think of your best friends.
Art is all that. And more. Art excites us. It gets our energy humming. Go
out and make art."
No where in there does it say it has to be "good art" - get them to put some
feeling into their art and it will be good art (in their eyes). Georgia
O'Keeffe would like what Randy has to say. Georgia got tired of making art
the way so and so made art and wanted to make art her way -and she did!
"Fill the page in a beautiful way"....You just might get a lot of different
interpretations to what beautiful is. I would even stop the video and tell
my students - "Don't let me do this to you...." when Georgia came on about
her art class instruction. I learned a lot on how not to teach art by
listening to Georgia O'Keeffe and Faith Ringgold. I learned from "the
masters" too. (Patty if you are reading... I can't wait to see how your
students fill the page in a beautiful way!). I tried to bring in all four
views of Aesthetics -- If one of those didn't work, I guess we had to make
up a new one (fortunately, one always did work).
I have enjoyed the Getty Recipe for Art thread - and have saved it. I do
want to see what Marcia comes up with. I had different recipes for different
Now a real quote:
The beautiful is in nature, and it is encountered under the most diverse
forms of reality. Once it is found, it belongs to art, or rather to the
artist who discovers it. (Gustave Courbet)
And a laugh out loud quote:
I thought to discourage aesthetics. I threw the bottlerack and the urinal in
their faces and now they admire them for their aesthetic beauty. (Marcel
Lots more out there for the picking:
Since no one objects to the Knott Just Another Quote feature, I'll keep
doing it when something pops ups - any time of day. The quote just doesn't
pop into my head first thing in the morning though. That is the job of an
administrator (smile). Ken Rohrer if you are reading - Do you give your
staff motivational quotes every morning?

P.S. I'm a former "Realist" who really doesn't do Realism very well...Joseph
Augusta even told me so (smile)....I don't know if you are still with us
Joseph (Getty list). We will have to find another view of Aesthetics for my
art. Joseph and I already talked about this (I do have Ps and E's - and I do
have a purpose - and there is a function - and it does express me and my
family - but my way is not new...so....). My favorite collage I did has the
African's view of Aesthetics.... My Celestial Family has Gods' view of

/// Apple Wins Order Barring Sales of Samsung Galaxy Nexus Phone
In another major patent victory on Friday, Apple won an order barring the Galaxy Nexus, a phone designed by Google and manufactured by Samsung. U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh ruled that Apple is likely to be able to prove at trial that the Galaxy Nexus infringes on four Apple patents, though the injunction is based specifically on one particular patent, the so-called '604 patent , which covers core voice and search functionality. The ruling was issued minutes ago by Koh in San Jose. The injunction becomes effective as soon as Apple posts a $95.6 million bond securing against the damages Samsung would incur if the injunction were found to have been wrongfully issued. Koh's ruling prevents Samsung from selling the Galaxy Nexus or any other product that is "no more than colorably different" and infringes on the Apple patent in question. However, Koh set a hearing for Monday morning to decide whether to put the injunction on hold pending an appeal by Samsung. It follows an order by Koh earlier this week that would halt sales of another Samsung product, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 . The Galaxy Nexus is strategically important to Google as its lead device for Ice Cream Sandwich and for being the phone given to I/O developers this week to test out Jelly Bean, the next version of Android. Google said that the Galaxy Nexus would be among the first devices to receive the final release of Jelly Bean. Asked for comment, Apple reiterated a past statement

thanks much for the tip, it appears to do the job indeed...
still I'm frustrated. Why couldn't we use patterns to manipulate partial
derivatives ? How can it be that, as you pointed out,
D[f_, x_, Rule[NonConstants, nc_]] // FullForm
gives 0 ? This seems crazy to me...
