Cafe: The Grind
Burgers? Yes, have some. It's pretty much that simple when it comes to pleasing a pedestrian palette. Yet having a professional food critic recommend a particular burger joint doesn't hurt either.
Food Critic Michele Laudig on The Grind:
Truly, from my experience, the best cure for burger fatigue happens to be an excellent burger.
That's what I had the first time I visited this place. I ordered the sweet and spicy burger, topped with a mouthwatering combination of candied jalapeños and fried ratatouille, pungent roasted garlic aioli, and a heap of fresh watercress.
My friend got the peppercorn crust burger, embellished with charred onions, roasted garlic, watercress, and crispy matchstick fries. Both beauties were perfectly medium-rare and just dripping with flavorful juices. We were so impressed that we wanted to lick our plates. They're really on to something here...full story

South of France Practicalities: Accommodation, Diving Operators, Qualifications...
Qualifications Medical Language Air Decompression Water Temperature Dive Operators Accommodation Getting There Further Reading
For deep wreck diving (40m and plus) you will have to have a qualification of at least CMAS 3 star equivalent. If you haven't been diving recently to these sorts of depths you might be required to be accompanied by an instructor. France is firmly a CMAS country, and as such PADI is less well recognized. However, don't fear as these are commercial dive operators and as long as your log book is decent you haven't too much to worry about.
A dive qualification is not enough any more. France has become much more like Spain with a requirement for a medical certificate of fitness to dive less than one year old. When first diving with a dive boat you will be asked to present this. Without this you will most likely not be permitted to dive. An alternative may be a log showing a good amount of recent diving activity, but do not count on this if you don't want to be disappointed.
BSAC members can obtain a diving medical form (Form B) from BSAC headquarters to be signed by their GP.
Most of the clubs on the coast have some abilities in English, or there will always be someone on the boat who can help you out with translations.
For wreck dives you can easily hire a 15 litre bottle with dual valves with transformable DIN and normal exits. The normal set up for diving in France is twin regulators on a single bi valve bottle, so that you have an independent air source. This set up is a legal requirement for dive instructors in France.
The French will think nothing of 15 minutes in water deco, which given that you have warm water, and little to no currents and calm conditions isn't that difficult. With the Eperlan dive operators a safety bottle is provided, and lines for deco at 3 and 6 meters.
Water Temperature
The sea temperature at the surface ranges from around 9 oC in January to 23 oC in August. June to September are the warmest months in which to dive.
Dive Operators
Recommend a Dive Operator or add your diving company.
Be aware that in France you will not necessarily be following a dive master about the dive. If this is not how you are used to diving, and it concerns you, then check before signing up for dives.
The Eperlan is based in the port of Cavalaire Sur Mer, on the side of the port which is nearest to the town's main streets. You can turn up in the morning to join the dive if it is out of high season, or book in advance (high season is second half of July and August). The boat normally leaves at 8.30am, but best to be a bit early especially on the first day. Claude and Jules are the skippers who run this boat. They have a great sense of humour, are easy going, but expert at what they do. They know the wrecks intimately, and will ensure you have a great dive.
Port de Boulouris
31 rue de Périgny
Run long weekend dive trips to Nice, Antibes and St Raphael.
"I learned to dive with Diamond Diving and would thoroughly recommend it. I went on as many subsequent dives as I could fit into my schedule. The instructor/dive buddy was very friendly and professional. The whole experience was one I will not forget. The boat staff were friendly professional and efficient. Very reasonable price and worth every penny."
"I did a long weekend of diving with Diamond Diving. We were really well looked after. It was good value for the money. They organized a really nice hotel and did all of our airport transfers.
I highly recommend them!"

I spoted a invisible zombie near the clock tower.
Interesting... I wil keep one eye on this mod.
Anyway, thanks for this addon.
I prefer with the face, but this version is good for me.
The Japanese and Indian versions will be added?
Do it, just do it. Finally someone will make this real.
Wow, this is so ******* great.
Like Bioshock.
I intend one day to make a pack that put the half-life models.
Yes, do it, just do it.
So will have a theme in the Quake style?
The gorund texture remebers me Quake.
Or bully him.
Mr. Nipples in the picture which was presented variants of the Zombie, you said you wanted to make all the humans that were possible to infect with a Headcrab. Now comes my suggestion why not make a zombie based soldier with bazooka, a kind of Kamikaze, going toward played with missiles in the hands and exploding with such in Serious Sam.
Question. They will work like Vortigauns or they do somenting diferent?
Question, will be released in episodes like the original or all at once?
I wanted to make a suggestion, it would be possible in some updating add an option to disable that red screen flicker when life gets low, my eyes start to hurt and I get dizzy.
I found a small bug. During the ambush of Hunters in the two-story house, in the yard near the back fence, if a Hunter make a charge against the player and is close to the fence, he is thrown over the fence and gets stuck off the map.
Try to use the "upcoming" update in the beta tab.
I just finished the Uplink Demo and i have to say, thats a ******* great mod. I can't wait for final release.
Please don't let this mod die, I always dreamed with this.
I think that's what you are looking for.
I can not fix because of the joints, I am beginner in the modeling and how the LD model has only three joints in the spine, I can not properly port them, while the HD model has five joints, I tried several times and still I can not deal very well with it. I hope you can understand, know that in a near future I do not arrange this part.
I'm having problems with the HUD, is not showing my ammunition.
XaeroX, how do I add prefabs in Jackhammer? I did not find the option.
I just edit the file .FGD for Half-Life: Opposing Force to display the models (weapons, enemies, items ...) as the .FGD file modified for Half-Life, I was wondering if I can put it does in the downloads section here the group?
Quick little question, when will be added FGD improved for Opposing Force?

The Kurisulamala Ashram which is situated here has many visitors. During the week of Good Friday, devotees climb Kurisumala Hill to reach the Ashram carrying the holy cross. On the way uphill, there is an old house built in European architectural style. There is a man-made lake beside this house. The house and lake were contrived by Laurie Baker. You will also see the dairy farms which are managed by the monks of Kurisulamala Ashram and run by an Indo-Swiss Project.

Because this is how it is among Lions, "In the animal kingdom, when a male lion comes of age he begins to make his move to acquire a female lion to breed with. If he's unsuccessful with one group of females, he goes to another area and meets some more. Unlike us human males, a lion has to fight and sometimes kill another lion to take over the pack and territory so he can then breed with the female (s).
As a human man, you simply have to walk over and talk to women and if you're able to get her attracted by displaying confidence, social intelligence and masculinity, then she is not only going to be interested in having sex with you, but she'll most-likely want to be your girlfriend or wife. After you've had sex, she'll fall in love with you (if you're a confident guy and make her feel how she wants to feel emotionally), regardless of whether you were a virgin before her or not."
Why aren't us humans like that? there are times i wish it was like that among us humans, i guess mainly because there are times i feel like getting into a fight to release my anger, rage, frustration whenever life, reality gets cruel, tough, unfair, and since i got bullied a lot, made fun of a lot in my childhood, i have a lot of deep bitterness and resentment, rage, frustration inside of me built up over the years.
Most Helpful Girl
I know how you feel about frustration. Try to release it in other ways like do something you really enjoy.10|10|0
Most Helpful Guy
When a lion defeats another, he takes over his pride. As the new master, he kills all the cubs of the previous lion and the females can do nothing to stop him. Then he impregnates his new sex-objects with his own kind. They can't refuse him sex... it's rape... and when it's time to eat, he sends his newfound slaves to hunt for him. Once they bring him the kill, he eats his lion's share and gives his subordinates the leftovers.
Humans have also ALWAYS been male dominated. But in a civilized fashion called marriage, where a girl's father gives her off to a suitable male. However, in many places, marriage has not been carried out by arrangement but instead abduction.00|00|0
Women have always been raped and taken as sex slaves by men and winners in war.
Woman is a slave organism... it's just NOW in the past century that they have been wrongly liberated in the man's world
- Show AllShow Less
"Wrongly" liberated?
Oh yeah absolutely... women are nothing but a disease for society

The term structure of interest rates and the aliasing identification problem
Theory typically does not give us reason to believe that economic models ought to be formulated at the same level of time aggregation at which data happen to be available. Nevertheless, this is frequently done when formulating econometric models, with potentially important specification-error implications. This suggests examining the alternatives, one of which is to model in continuous time. The primary difficulty in inferring the parameters of a continuous time model given sampled observations is the "aliasing identification problem." This paper shows how the restrictions implied by rational expectations sometimes do, and sometimes do not, resolve the problem. This is accomplished very simply in the context of a hypothesis about the term structure of interest rates. The paper confirms and extends results obtained for another example by Hansen and Sargent.

I rarely blog in-depth reviews, but I like to keep track of the books I read - not just the stories within them, but also the physical book itself. I had been doing that through individual book posts, but I've fallen way behind blogging them. Oops...
On Goodreads (if you're not on Goodreads, join! And add Returning to your to read shelf!), you can be part of a reading challenge each year. I've done it the past couple of years and in 2014, I actually surpassed my goal! I had hoped to read 25 books and ended up reading 28 in the year - an effort I'm quite chuffed with.
Although February seems a little late to be doing a "wrap-up" style post from the year before, I like to call myself a relaxed blogger. So, without further ado, here are a few titles I read late last year
The Laughing Clowns by William McInnes
|Image source
Book: Paperback. Borrowed from my local library
Rating: I gave this 3 stars on Goodreads
One-liner: A good "ordinary" story and a light, easy read.
The Fast Diet by Dr Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer
|Image source
A good friend of mine has been on this diet for two years now, so I was interested in learning more about it. It was a very convincing book and I may consider this down the track - but right now energy intake, rather than weight loss is my priority so it will remain in my bookshelf for now.
Book: Paperback. Borrowed from my friend, but then bought online through BookDepository
Rating: I gave this 4 stars on Goodreads
One-liner: Easy to read and convincing.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
|Image source
Brilliant. I loved it. Goes to show how different sisters can be, because I couldn't stand Wuthering Heights.
Book: Paperback. I own it. Can't remember when or where I bought it.
Rating: I gave this 5 stars on Goodreads
One-liner: Brilliant. I loved it.
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe by Fannie Flagg
|Image source
Book: Hardcover. Borrowed from my local library.
Rating: I gave this 4 stars on Goodreads.
One-liner: I really enjoyed the way this book used different times, scenes and ways to weave a wonderful story.
Grace: More than we Deserve, Greater than we Imagine by Max Lucado
|Image source
Book: Paperback. I own it - bought from my local Koorong shop.
Rating: I gave this 4 stars on Goodreads.
One-liner: Another thought-provoking and heartening book by Lucado. Easy reading, too.
La Place by Annie Ernaux
|Image source
This book was a text I bought when I studied French at uni and it has been sitting on various bookshelves (or in boxes) ever since. I was chuffed that I still managed to understand it after all these years.
Book: Paperback. I own it - bought from the uni Co-op Bookshop back in the day.
Rating: I gave this 3 stars on Goodreads.
One-liner: Read in the original French, this was an interesting insight into the protagonist's life, particularly with respect to her relationship with her father.
The Light Between Oceans by M. L. Stedman
|Image source
Amazing Australian book. My mum bought this and thought I would enjoy it. She was right.
Book: Paperback. Borrowed from my mother.
Rating: I gave this 4 stars on Goodreads.
One-liner: Very thought-provoking, well written book. Make sure you have tissues on hand!
So there you go, that's the rest of 2014 done and dusted. Stay tuned for a post on my reading plans and progress so far in 2015.

Video After The Jump
Oschino continues to go after his Philadelphia counterpart, Meek Mill.
As we previously reported, this beef was sparked when Oschino asked Meek to return a favor by posting his "Appetizer 7" mixtape on his Instagram page. Oschino said the DreamChasers boss refused via text, causing a rift between them.
On Saturday, February 11, Oschino posted the text conversation in a YouTube video. Peep it below.

Listen Up: Nicki Minaj's New Ballad, "Pills N Potion," Will Give You Life
I've always been a little meh on Nicki Minaj, but today the rapper dropped a ballad that is knocking my socks off. "Pills N Potion" is an uplifting, but not-even-remotely cheesy love song directed at her haters and will be featured on Nicki's upcoming album The Pink Print. "Swearin' on the Bible that they love you but they're no different from all your rivals / but I don't wish death on 'em, I just reflect on 'em," Minaj raps on the pared-down track, giving fans a taste of what they can expect from her next effort. I LOVE it. Listen below! [Rolling Stone]

Background The role of the Beta2-adrenoceptor (beta2-AR) Gln27Glu polymorphism in the manifestation of cardiovascular diseases is still unclear. Methods In the present study, we evaluated the potential relevance of the c.79 C>G (p.Gln27Glu) polymorphism of this receptor gene for coronary artery disease (CAD) and its associated risk factors in Saudi Arabs. Genotyping was performed by PCR using the confronting two-pair primer (PCR-CTPP) method. Results In the general population group (BD) (n = 895), 68.5% were homozygous wild-type C/C, 28.3% were heterozygous C/G and 3.2% were homozygous mutant G/G. Among the CAD patients (n = 773), 50.6% were homozygous wild-type C/C, 43.6% were heterozygous C/G and 5.8% were homozygous mutant G/G, while in the angiographed control group (CON) (n = 528), 71.8% were C/C, 24.4% C/G and 3.8% G/G genotypes. These results indicate that both the C/G (p = < .001) and G/G (p = .005) genotypes are significantly associated with CAD, when compared to the CON group. In addition, C/G (p = < .001) and G/G (p = < .001) were significantly associated with CAD, when compared to the BD group. Furthermore, stepwise logistic regression showed that the genotype [C/G (p < .001) and G/G (p < .001)] increase the risk of CAD. Conclusion These results shows that the Gln27Glu genotypes (homo- or heterozygous) of the beta2-AR may be independent predictors of severe CAD.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/11/2013 (1384 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's going to be a busy day at city hall.
All councillors will finally be brought up to date on the police headquarters project.
And, at some point today, Mayor Sam Katz is expected to announce who is joining his executive policy committee, to replace councillors Dan Vandal and Scott Fielding.
The police headquarters project – the former Canada Post complex on Graham Avenue -- has ben plagued with cost over-runs and this morning, at a council seminar, they'll learn what the new price tag is going to be.
The original budget to purchase and renovate the complex was set at $140.5 million; but that climbed to $168 million in 2010, and to $194 million in 2011 – a figure that was supposed to be guaranteed.
However, that guaranteed price was only based on incomplete and partial plans. A source said after the Winnipeg police service finalized how they expected the building to be designed, the price tag was going to go up again.
Katz and members of EPC were privately briefed Wednesday on the building-plan changes and the potential cost overruns. The rest of council will be informed this morning.
Katz said Thursday that any further project increases would not impact any other department budget, including police.
For EPC, Katz needs to replace Vandal and Fielding: Fielding quit over a week ago in a dispute with Katz and other EPC members over the pending 2014 budget increase and for what he said was mismanagement of several issues. Fielding was chair of the protection and community services committee. It's believed he's mulling a run for mayor or for the Conservatives in the next provincial election.
Vandal said he would be leaving because he's not running for council in 2014, and instead wants to concentrate his efforts on his ward and preparations to run for the Liberals in the next federal election.
Vandal was the chairman of the infrastructure and public works committee.

Composition Basics in Macro Photography
1 Composition Basics in Macro Photography
|2 Next
|Thoughtful composition can turn a good shot into a great image.
It's hard to overstate the importance of composition. For all of the emphasis we as photographers tend to place on which camera, lens or other gear to use, there's nothing that contributes more to a pleasing image than careful attention to the framing of your subject. In this article I'm going to discuss some of the compositional techniques most applicable to macro photography. I'll illustrate these with a lot of images, as these concepts are often much easier both to understand and apply with visual examples in mind.
I have already mentioned POV (point of view) in an earlier article as a critical aspect of composition in macro photography. Shooting from the same vantage point as the subject creates a feeling of intimacy which is so important in wildlife imagery.
Lead room
The concept of 'lead room' is important in macro as well as other wildlife photography. The idea is that the frame should contain extra space in the direction in which the animal's eyes are looking. Indeed, having a subject looking at the nearest edge of the frame can be unappealing. The use of appropriate lead room contributes greatly to a sense of balance in the image. Consider the examples below.
|This gorgeous strawberry poison dart frog was facing right. I thus positioned it on the left side of the image, and left some lead room to the right.
Lead room doesn't have to be overly drastic to be effective. I'm not suggesting you shove your subjects all the way into one corner or the other. You want just enough additional space in the direction to which the eyes are looking to give the image room to 'breathe'.
|Lead room doesn't only exist to the right or left. This Dragonfly was looking downward and to the left, so that's where I left extra space.
This basic understanding of lead room can be augmented for an even more appropriate application to macro. For creatures whose eyes are not prominent features, the amount of lead room should be based instead on the subject's shape and body structure. In macro, many of our subjects (like the damselflies shown below) have very long and narrow abdomens. In fact, the damselfly is so long, it's very tempting to just fill the frame with it. Yet here I would argue that the damselfly's center of mass should be used as the reference point from which to apply lead room, rather than the entire body. This is much easier to demonstrate than explain, as you'll see below.
Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds offers another guideline for maintaining balance. Most of my images are either centered or follow the rule of thirds - this usually depends of whether the subject is looking straight at the camera or to either side.
Of course there are many situations in which it does make sense to center the subject in the frame, as you can see in the example below.
|This fly is looking straight into the camera, so it was a good idea to position it in the center of the frame. This strengthens the visual quality of this alien-looking species.

How the hell did you get these shots!!! Amazing! esp the damsel fly,,i have tried and tried and tried again to get a dragonfly in flight and only wound up with blurry eyes and a headache! This is all great stuff but that fly is incredible!!
I was looking around trying to figure out what to specialize in and macro may be it..
These photos are stunning...
Sure, the rules never change, and can be applied to all the visual arts, but so what? This series is beautifully clear and concise - a few, well-chosen words, and photos that speak volumes. We can see exactly how these classic techniques are applied to a specific application, with masterful effect. Bravo!
I shoot large stacks. But I can't imagine how to set up for a macro stack of an insect. Sometimes my stacks are 100 or more files and takes quite an effort to set up, time consuming... How do you keep these buggers absolutely still for 20 minutes or even longer without killing them?
My stacks are mostly of 3-15 images, so I can do them in a minute or even less...
I'll talk all about dealing with bugs in a future article. Please stay tuned.
Fridge ...
For the final shot of the fly, what was the lens and the settings please? Great work! Thanks.
Hi Robert,
This shot was achieved using the Canon MP-E65mm macro lens.
It's focus-stacked from 13 images taken at 1/6sec, ISO200, f/8.
I hope this helps!
Thanks for the good tips and the beautiful photos.
fabulous pics - thanks. New to macro but not to birding with a 300mm f2.8 lens. Could I use an extension tube successfully with this lens for macro work?
All the best
Yes. A 300mm+ex. tubes is a great combo. I don't have experience with a 300/2.8 though.
I love Macro Photography and would like to know how much Post Processing you do and for a beginner that really hates PP, what is a good PP process to begin with. I've tried the Piscaso and this was pretty easy and looks good when printing on my Epson R-1900. I need to take the next step but I'm really not sure which system to try. What did you use for your photos that you shared?
All my images are post-processed to some degree. I'll talk about PP on a future article- please stay tuned.
How was the last picture made? I guess it is almost impossible to get the fly in the reght posiyion, spry it with water and capture it.
Easy, the droplets are morning dew - insects need external sources of heat so get out in the dead of night and identify suiting subjects before sunrise and get cracking at the first decent light...
I'll talk all about dealing with bugs in a future article. Please stay tuned.
What i fail to understand is that how are these rules "specific" to macro photography? These are general rules that can be applied to any kind of photography. Though i must admit the example photographs are very well done
They are not specific to macro photography but it serves well to remind oneself of them and not let the amazement about the details of the subject completely rule your mind...
Some rules are more specific to macro, such as tight cropping and considering the special shape of insects. Others are less specific, but still important in a comprehensive series about any subject.
Glad you liked the images.
Thank you for your great article. I especially appreciate the accompanying example photos since literally sometimes "a picture is worth a thousand words". I hope Dpreview keeps articles like this coming! Thanks.
It is a good article for novices and for those of us advanced amateurs as a reminder.
One thing that could have been mentioned, however briefly, is the crop 'format'. Some of your images could have been improved yet again with the 'square format'.
Nice, but a few common composition guidelines were left out. How about S-curves? The golden section or golden ratio? Triangle compositions?
I am a novice in macro photography, and one thing I'd like to ask is : How do you keep the frog from jumping away while you are setting the shot?
@glonislav: Insects are mostly scared by movement perpendicular to their sitting position - like a swooping bird. This will invariably trigger their reflex to skedaddle. A photographer knowing his stuff thus will do anything to avoid this trigger - which means he will not be using the camera hand held but on a tripod with macro focusing rail which allows a straight closing movement. This then allows to use 100mm, or less focal length which will yield more of an impression of depth.
Thanks . I enjoyed the read. Good advice.
this is excellent advice for a novice like me. I always try to cram in as much detail as I can of my macro subject, sometimes positioning them along the diagonal rather than following any rule...
I'll try to pay more attention to composition and perhaps the final result will improve, from now on. :-)
Great photos and useful tips - but I'm still waiting for the killer (if that is the right word, maybe stunning instead?) post on how you get insects in the wild to stay still long enough to photograph them.
@bokane, the trick is to know what kind of behavior will trigger the skedaddle reflex of the insects - it's not the distance as such! It's the kind of movement, if you move directly and linearly towards the insect they will stay until you practically touch their eyes. But move perpendicular to their sitting position and they are gone from any distance. So hand holding the camera is an exceedingly bad idea as your normal movement contains such perpendicular movement components if you want or not.
Another thing you should bear in mind is that many insects will return to their last position or if a certain sitting position is well suited to their lifestyle they will often accept one provided by you - this applies to many of the carnivorous species such as dragonflies and hunting flies.
Beautiful pics but to be honest there's nothing new composition wise to be told. The same rules apply always in photography. Any good book on photography will teach exactly the same. The fact that you're shooting a very small animal or part of it doesn't change a thing. DOF is a bigger concern and needs a lot more practising.
Totally agree. Although I'm not an experienced macro shooter myself, proper DOF must be THE issue in this type of photography. In the samples above, DOF appears very well chosen by the way.
Hmmm...It's really a shame then that we didn't publish an article discussing DOF in macro photography. We should have called it something like, I don't know, 'Depth of Field in Macro Photography'. Would have been even better if we had linked to it at the end of this article. Oh well, next time ;-)
Excellent article, great photos, thanks
very very nice macro...thanks
There is a lot to learn from. Thanks.
Wondering how Erez made the flyes to pose :)
It should be the next article subject
thanks a lot again.
That last image of the fly is crazy sharp. I wish nikon had an MP-E 65 lens as well. :-)
Great article. Thanks!

Take a quick tour of Nikon's new D850 in our 'First Look' video and find out what makes this new pro-level DSLR so exciting. Hint: a lot of things.
Nikon appears to have pulled out all the stops for its D850. It combines high resolution and speed: a full-frame 45.7MP BSI CMOS sensor capable of 7 fps bursts. The D5's 153-point AF system, a tilting touchscreen and 4K/24p video are also on board. It arrives in September for $3300.
The Nikon D850 is a 45.7MP full-frame DSLR that can shoot at seven frames per second. Supporting this is an autofocus system lifted wholesale from the company's pro-sports D5 model. Add in a bigger viewfinder and full-width 4K capture and you've got a lot more than a warmed-up D810.
Cinema equipment powerhouse Arri has introduced a new line of full spectrum neutral density filters that drawn on its years of experience creating internal filtration systems for its ALEXA Mini and the AMIRA movie cameras.
The 'pocket powerhouse' Godox Wistro AD200 flash just got a new accessory. Now, you can swap out the speedlight or bare bulb heads for a 3.6-watt LED lamp.
Photographers Andrew Studer and Ted Hesser captured some of the most iconic images of this week's eclipse, showing a climber standing in the middle of the glowing corona. This is the story behind those images.
Intrigued by those ultra-cheap, fast lenses coming out of China? This video review of the $550 Sainsonic Kamlan 55mm F1.2 lens points out some of the performance you sacrifice to save an almighty dollar (or $800).
Canon has expanded its PIXMA TS-series Wireless Inkjet printer lineup with five new models, two of which contain an improved ink system that adds a sixth color ('Photo Blue') to help reduce graininess and improving overall quality.
Oprema Jena is on a roll. After a wildly successful Kickstarter to bring back the legendary Zeiss Biotar 75mm F1.5 lens, the company is sweetening the pot by resurrecting the Biotar 58mm F2 as well.
Nikon has issued a delay and apology regarding their 100th Anniversary D5, D500, and Triple Lens sets. Due to a logo issue, the company is being forced to delay shipments until October.
Yet another reason to always shoot Raw. These two shots are actually the same photo, photographer Dan Plucinski simply pulled up the shadows in post.
The Galaxy Note 8 is the first Samsung smartphone to feature a dual-cam setup. The 2x tele lens allows for a background-blurring portrait mode and comes with optical image stabilization.
Cloud backup service CrashPlan has announced that it will permanently shutter it's "for home" service by the end of October. If you use CrashPlan to back up your photos, you'll want to find an alternative ASAP.
Equivalence is much-discussed, but still often misunderstood. Here's a simplified explanation of the concept of equivalent apertures, which is just another way of talking about light received by your camera.
Try your hand at this blind portrait shootout between the Canon 1DX Mark II, Nikon D5 and Sony a9. With all bias removed, you might just rank your favorite camera brand worst.
Photo sharing site 500px has just added support for wide-gamut color profiles such as AdobeRGB and ProPhotoRGB, even allowing users to filter their searches by color profile.

Defunct Russian camera maker Zenit is making a comeback, and they're planning to release a full-frame mirrorless camera in 2018.
The days where you're more or less locked into premium or first-party flash units has gone. They're less than $50 now, so there's one less excuse not to get one. Here's our case for adding one to your kit, and a few pointers to get you going.
If you're shooting the solar eclipse here's a hint: don't fry your camera's sensor. Use a proper solar filter that offers at least 16 stops of light filtration, along with UV and IR filtering. More important? Don't look at it unless you've got solar filters. Sensors can be replaced, your retinas can't.

Elhalyn is also one of the domains of Darkover ruled by a branch of the Hastur family.

IF we had the case where we have a never freezing rawhide, and we don't make install images for it until we branch/freeze (outside of one-off test day images), then critical path doesn't play into "rawhide" so much as the branched pending release (which is essentially frozen and change is driven via bodhi) and the updates to already released Fedoras. Essentially releng/QA is signing up to be responsible for seeing updates-testing function as desired for critical path packages. Updates-testing should be used /anyway/, we're just going to guarantee that qa/releng will consume and test it while in updates-testing and provide feedback before it gets out of updates-testing. Looking even farther in the future to where we have AutoQA functioning, we can treat critical-path packages differently in the real "rawhide". Packages outside of critical-path will have autoqa tests done on them in an informational only way, anything seen wrong will be alerted to the maintainer and they will fix it if/when they can. Packages within critical path that have autoqa failures can be prevented from entering the repo until somebody either fixes it and a build passes the tests, or a properly authorized account holder forces the build into the repo. Of course this is just a rough idea how it would work, we have to get autoqa working first. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

form builder problem with page break after submit buttonAsked by NRCsupport on February 17, 2014 at 03:57 AM
In order to allow the user to go back and review a mutli page form before submitting, I have placed a page break bar with only a back button after the submit button. On the formbuilder I find that nothing shows after the submit button, so I can't actuially see or modify or remove the page break.
I know it is there because it shows up when I run the form.
My suggestion in another thread of combining all the buttons into a single row would obviate this problem But surely the form builder should show everything that is in the form.
JotForm Support
Hello NRCsupport,
I believe that is how the page break works.
When you add any page break in your form, it will automatically add one back button after the last form field just to allow user to go back to previous page. Practically there cannot be any form field after the last "Back" button as the last "Back" is added automatically at run time.
Hope this answers your query.
Thank you!
Thankyou. That should be documented somewhere.
Yeah i am having same issu with mine too
after applying online everything just smashed together

Health insurer Medicash is one of Cool Earth's leading partners and is already helping to protect some of the world's most endangered tropical forest.
Medicash currently protects 125 acres of endangered rainforest; enough to cover their carbon emission over the year. The commitment of Medicash to rainforest protection is already making a huge difference to the lives of local communities and security of the trees in the Ashaninka, Peru.
Without Medicash's support, the forest would have been lost to logging, releasing a staggering 32,500 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Medicash chief executive Sue Weir says:
"As a socially responsible organisation with a history of charitable engagement we understand that it is vital for a company to be aware of the impact of its actions on the environment. Our relationship with Cool Earth ensures we are able to offset our carbon emissions but, equally importantly, our environmental policy signals a commitment on the part of every Medicash employee to change their day to day habits in order to help reduce our impact on the environment."
Every acre of mature rainforest that Medicash secures, keeps 260 tonnes of carbon dioxide where it belongs. This means Medicash's sponsorship of 125 acres is protecting around 5,000 mature trees, 11,875 saplings, 500 endangered species of mammal, 40,250 types of plant and over a million species of insect and worm.
Our sponsorship also includes purchasing classroom equipment, solar powered internet, and working alongside the Ashaninka to ensure that they are properly compensated for protecting a unique and irreplaceable ecosystem.
In addition to carbon offsetting, Medicash is aiming to reduce its carbon footprint by a further 10% by limiting its company car policy to vehicles with low CO2 emissions, and increasing staff take-up of interest free loans for public transport season tickets and Ride 2 Work initiatives.

Cloud Cult Announces Second Leg of US Tour in Support of 'Unplug'
Cloud Cult is excited to announce the second leg of their US headlining tour in support of their 10th full-length album and first ever fully acoustic and live release - Unplug (April 2014 / Earthology). As with the spring tour and first leg, the fall run is billed as "An Evening With..." and has Cloud Cult playing two magnificent sets a night, one stripped down acoustic and one fully plugged in.
During the two set performance, the band will play songs from their extensive catalog along with stripped down versions of songs selected for the Unplug album, which features 17 tracks carefully chosen from the band's discography for their lyrical messaging. Unplug was recorded, produced and mixed by the band's longtime live soundman Jeff D. Johnson over several sold out nights at the Southern Theatre in Minneapolis this past winter and mastered by Jeff Lipton (Bon Iver, Arcade Fire) earlier this year. It's the follow up to band's 2013 full-length studio album Love which debuted in the Top 50 of the Billboard 200 and resulted in a majority of the band's 2013 tour dates selling out.
After a successful spring headlining tour with a string of sold out shows on the East Coast, the band is excited to bring their "An Evening With..." tour west this fall. They have a few more dates this spring/summer before officially kicking off the West Coast run on September 11th at Vaudeville Mews in Iowa City, IA. All confirmed dates below.
June 21 @ Vetter Stone Amphitheater in Mankato, MN

Let us know what you think!
So one of the most commented on articles on IGN today is about Rayman Legends, previously a Wii U exclusive, no longer being a Wii U exclusive. It also goes along to say that the Wii U's launch has been much weaker than anticipated, and that the next quarter is looking even more dismal.
Is the Wii U really doomed? I wanted to hear your opinions. I am no fan of Wii U, but I think it is interesting that it isn't selling as well as expected. I predicted this would happen - In my opinion the Wii's great sales was a fluke. Millions of parents buying a system that their children used for a few months then left to collect dust. When the Wii U came out, I predicted the parents would see it and go, "hell no, you didn't play with your first one." I know there are hardcore Wii and Nintedo fans out there, so I knew initial sales would be good, but now I'm not surprised its slowing down.
Do you think it has the capability to rebound? I know many buyers are waiting for new IPs and better third party games, but will The Wii U ever get them, or is Rayman a bad omen of things to come? There was a great lineup of new classic franchises announced recently for the Wii U... Is it enough?
What do you think? Do you own a Wii U, are you waiting, or will you never buy one? Why?

As I'm sure you have all seen on the main page, there are several rumors going around that Microsofts new console will require a constant internet connection. At the tech website, Edge there are several supposedly confirmed rumors that Microsofts consoles will be very restricting to gamer freedom. Here is the list of rumored restrictions:
All in all, these are some pretty serious restrictions; restrictions that could easily make a fanboy turn their backs to their favorite console developers. We as gamers defend our various consoles with blood, sweat, and tears, and in return they try to nickle and dime us to death. Do we deserve this? Is their greed that insatiable?
But lets hear from you - If all of these restrictions turn out to be the truth, would it make you think twice before buying? Or would it stop you completely?

Hasan flattered by Reds link
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Hasan Salihamidzic says he is flattered to be linked with a move to Liverpool.Bayern Munich midfielder Hasan Salihamidzic has admitted he is flattered to be linked with a move to Liverpool.
The Bosnia-Herzegovina international has emerged as a transfer target for Liverpool, as they continue their search for more players before the close of the transfer window.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez has made a new right-sided winger one of his top targets after being frustrated in his attempts to sign Luis Figo and Stelios Giannakopoulos.
Benitez is now believed to have switched his attentions to Salihamidzic.
The 28-year-old still has two years to run on his contract at Bayern, but the German champions may listen to offers for the player, as they have a surplus of midfielders at the club.
Salihamidzic admitted he would be interested in a move to Anfield and is waiting to see if they follow up their interest.
"I have heard about interest from Liverpool and it is a great honour for me," said Salihamidzic.
"But, of course, it is not up to me. It is up to the two clubs to decide."
Liverpool are also being linked with a shock move for Aston Villa ace Nolberto Solano.
The Reds are believed to have asked Villa for Solano as part of the deal to take Milan Baros to Villa Park.
Solano is thought to be considering his future at Villa and he would jump at the chance to move to Anfield and the prospect of UEFA Champions League action.

U.S. Aid to Israel: $77 Billion Since '67
By KEITH BRADSHER,
Published: September 23, 1991
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22— The controversy over Israel's request for $10 billion in United States loan guarantees has focused wide attention on a large-scale but little-understood American aid effort that since 1967 has totaled at least $77 billion -- $16,500 for each Israeli citizen -- when adjusted for inflation.
American aid to Israel may actually be larger than that, since it consists not only of the well-known grants and loans that prop up the Israeli economy and bolster its military, but also seldom-noticed indirect assistance. This includes such items as huge transfers of surplus military equipment, subsidies for Israel's foreign aid program and assistance to refugees arriving from the Soviet Union, State Department and Congressional officials say.
Moreover, Israel alone among recipients of American aid receives its money at the beginning of each fiscal year, instead of in payments over the course of the year, allowing it to invest in United States Treasury securities and collect interest on the money until it is actually spent.
Nearly three-quarters of Israel's aid consists of grants, according to figures from the Bank of Israel. Israel reduced its annual interest on the remaining $13 billion in loans by $150 million several years ago by refinancing at a lower interest rate, a privilege also made available then to 37 other American allies with weak economies. No Need for U.S. to Pay
Israel is seeking the $10 billion in loan guarantees now to help resettle up to a million Jewish emigres expected by 1995. With the loan guarantees, banks would lend to Israel at reduced interest rates with the assurance that the United States would be responsible for any principal or interest payments that Israel could not make. Israel's credit rating is fairly good, and its officials say there would be no need for the United States to pay any money.
Israeli officials contend that without the guarantees their country would be unable to provide the housing and jobs needed to use fully the many skills of immigrants from the Soviet Union. The Israeli economy and imports from the United States would suffer, they contend.
But President Bush has insisted that granting the aid now would needlessly upset the Middle East peace process, and he has asked Congress to put off debate on the matter for four months.
The current political uproar has strengthened Congress's interest in examining the financial burden of the American relationship with Israel, which has not been well understood because Israel has tapped many sources outside the main foreign aid programs. List From State Department
Representative Lee H. Hamilton, the Indiana Democrat who heads the House Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East, said he had recently received a list of readily measured aid from the State Department totaling $4 billion for the fiscal year ending this month. The list separately included several programs with costs that are hard to estimate, partly because not all of the money in them had been spent, he said.
"So far as I know it's a comprehensive list, but things keep popping out," Mr. Hamilton said.
An Administration official who insisted on anonymity said "it's really an aid industry," in which no one keeps a full tally of the aid provided.
Mr. Hamilton, Congressional aides and Israeli officials stressed that the United States received much in return for its assistance. Israel has been the nation's main military partner for decades in a region both vital to United States interests and highly unstable.
The $300 million for the stockpiling of American military equipment in Israel, for example, could not be labeled solely as aid to that country, since it is very advantageous to the United States to be able to store its gear there, Mr. Hamilton said.
Economic and military aid programs to Israel, without adjustment for inflation, totaled $47.8 billion from 1967 through last year, according to the figures from the Bank of Israel. But Israeli officials themselves pointed out that it would be more accurate to adjust for inflation. Using the consumer price index in the United States, the aid to Israel would be to $77 billion in 1991 dollars. Some Hard to Estimate
The programs that are hard to estimate include up to $700 million in surplus military equipment, most of it from American forces being withdrawn from Europe, that is to be turned over to Israel; $400 million in loan guarantees; $150 million in annual interest savings from the refinancing of United States military loans five years ago; $300 million for eventual stockpiles of American equipment in Israel; $60 million in price reductions for military equipment sales and $42 million for a joint air defense development program.
Israel's request for $10 billion in loan guarantees would not involve any immediate outlay for the United States. But under a new law that takes effect on Oct. 1, Congress would have to set aside some money to reflect the risk of potential defaults.
Congress's current budget rules also impose a cap on international spending, including foreign aid. Depending on how different types of aid are categorized, this means that Congress could be confronted with a difficult choice this year on how to divide up limited money among Israel, the Soviet Union and other candidates for American assistance.
The proposed $10 billion in loan guarantees for the resettlement of Soviet Jews in Israel would be much more generous than Mr. Bush's $1.5 billion agricultural loan guarantee program to feed the Soviet Union. The food loan program only guarantees 98 percent of the principal and the first 4.5 percentage points of interest. Banks Are Reluctant
Commercial banks have been reluctant to take part in this program for fear of losing the unguaranteed part of any loans.
By contrast, Israeli officials want their guarantees to cover all of the loans' principal and all of the interest. Because existing American loan guarantee programs do not have such generous terms, a new program would probably have to be created for Israel, Congressional aides said.
American loan guarantees could save Israel as much as $200 million a year in interest payments, said John F. H. Purcell, the director of the sovereign research group at Salomon Brothers Inc. This is because Israel has a BBB credit rating, forcing it to borrow at an interest rate that is 2 percentage points higher than the rate for United States Government-guaranteed debt, he said.
Such a calculation assumes that Israel would be able to borrow the money at all without the guarantees and without lowering its credit rating, which would result in higher interest rates. "Anybody but the very large countries would have trouble borrowing $10 billion," Mr. Purcell agreed.
Israeli officials estimate that with the guarantees they could borrow as much as $2 billion a year for five years, while without them they would be limited to $500 million a year.

After many years of failing to achieve Strong AI many researchers have instead turned to Artificial Life. The basic premise is, if we can't yet develop human intelligence, perhaps lets start lower down on the totem pole, such as ants, or bugs. Let's model simpler life forms, or create artificial environments or ecosystems.
Artificial Life also has applications in biology and is normally related to generic algorithms.

Plant Sale Begins
That means it's time for you to get started in your garden, too. Heidi and the crew have been busy seeding for the fields and for the plant sale that is going on right now in our Farmstand greenhouse. We have a nice variety of mixed 6-packs, our very cute "insta-garden" peat pots and 4" pots of bigger plants. Look to the right for a full lost of what's available now. It's going to be a beautiful weekend. Stop on by and get your garden going!
Finally, the first batch of piglets has arrived! Oh my goodness, they are ridiculously cute. We have a few varieties this year: our usual Tamworths, some Berkshires, and one beautiful Gloucester Old Spot. They are just to the left of the main gate to OTS (the big field on your left on the way to Plains Meadow). Make sure you go to check them out.
Easter Snow
Despite the cold snap, we have had a very productive week. The snap, snow and shelling peas were all planted, the blueberries are being pruned (that's Megan hard at work above) and we planted the first batch of greenhouse tomatoes. It was also the first full week of having our apprentices on the farm and it has been great getting to know them while accomplishing a lot more on the farm.
Our Summer Youth programs are filling up fast. You can click here to find out more about them. We are piloting a couple programs this year for Scouts who can come to the farm to complete their badges and journeys. In addition, homeschooled children can jump in on the fun and learn about the different aspects of a working farm throughout the season. Click here to find out more.
Finally, it's almost Easter! We have plenty of our own hams in the freezer and we have assorted cuts of lamb. Holly will be baking bread for the rest of the week, too! Come on in and get your vittles for the big feast.
Hello, Members.
We are excited to announce that we will be doing an Egg Share this spring. The ladies have been very cooperative and we have enough eggs to offer them as a CSA share. Yay! If you love our eggs, this is a great way to save some money by buying them up front.
This share will be just for the spring and will begin March 14th and end the last weekend in May. You can choose Friday, Saturdays and Sundays for March, but if you would like to change your day starting in April, when we open full-time, we can do that for you.
Sign up here for the Egg Share
While you are at it, don't forget to sign up for your regular summer CSA share if you haven't already!
Dear Members,
Sometimes, fortune smiles on our little forays away from vegetable production into the world of small fruit growing, as it did with our heavy-weight champion of a blueberry crop. And sometimes, another thing entirely is smiling on us, like the hungry, rapidly multiplying members of a new species of fruit fly which we just confirmed in our raspberries. It seems like about time we had the talk. You know, the one about Spotted Wing Drosophila.
Green Meadows Farm Crew
656 Asbury Street
S. Hamilton, MA 01982
Please join us for a fun-filled day at the farm on September 7th, 2013 from 11 am until 3 pm. We'll have a bunch of activities for everyone!

It's free and open to the public.
Join Barbara Emerson from Boston's Edible Magazine at Green Meadows Farm on Saturday May 18th, 11am to 12pm.
Barbara's class will include a take home handout full of great information as well as the opportunity for Q & A. Barbara offers great tips to not only beautify your outdoor space and living areas, but also discusses the growing to eat concept.
Please call the Farmstand to register for this free class, as space is limited. Hope to see you there!
Join us at the Farm this Saturday May 11th between 11am and 2pm for our greatly anticipated annual "Meet The Lambs" Event. This year Mrs. Green will be leading small tour groups of children and parents, to see the lambs up close inside the fence. Tour groups will be on a 20 mintues rotation.
While you are on the Farm children are also invited to participate in the FREE craft time, visit our laying hens and run around outside.
Refreshments, snacks and lunch items are available for purchase in our Farmstand. Ample parking and restrooms are available.
Meet the Chick Day is still scheduled for tomorrow, March 9th from 10am - 1 pm, despite the heavy snowfall. I hope that you can all still make it!

We propose an asymmetric wavelet method to reconstruct a particle from a hologram illuminated by an elliptical, astigmatic Gaussian beam. The particle can be reconstructed by a convolution of the asymmetric wavelet and hologram. The reconstructed images have the same size and resolution as the recorded hologram; therefore, the reconstructed 3D field is convenient for automatic particle locating and sizing. The asymmetric wavelet method is validated by both simulated holograms of spherical particles and experimental holograms of opaque, nonspherical coal particles.
