SYDNEY coach John Longmire says the Swans are on track to give Hawthorn a run for their money in this Friday's blockbuster at ANZ Stadium after thrashing Brisbane by 79 points tonight.
Longmire said both Lance Franklin and Kurt Tippett were a chance of taking on the Hawks after missing the convincing disposal of the Lions at the Gabba.
If they get through training this week, they will join a side that is starting to hum with three straight wins after a sluggish start to their 2014 campaign.
Tippett trained strongly today while Franklin's availability is less certain after his knee injury failed to come up for this weekend.
"We've certainly started to play a bit better over four quarters a bit more consistently and that's been the pleasing thing over the past three weeks,'' he said.
"We come up against one of the sternest tests in the competition next week and we'll see how we go against that.
"Not sure yet (about Franklin). He wasn't able to do anything at all on Thursday so we'll see how he goes next week. Hopefully he will be.
"Tippett trained today and did the whole session and pulled up really well. We are hoping those two guys come into contention for next week.''
Longmire said the Lions were competitive early but was happy with how his side got on top and kept their foot on the throat of the last-placed Brisbane.
"I just thought that we kept running and kept working,'' he said.
"Whether it was our tackles or our contested ball work, we kept persisting through the course of the game. The longer we were doing that, we were able to have 33 shots on goals and kept the opposition to six goals.''
He was happy with Adam Goodes' first full game back from a knee injury.
"He looked really good. He was on fire the first couple of minutes. We'd actually forgotten what he was like, moving like that,'' he said.
"Just good to get some decent game time into him.''
Meanwhile, Lions coach Justin Leppitsch was philosophical post-match saying the club was being forced to play young kids before they were ready given the club's injury toll.
"I want Tom Cutler to play his 20-40 reserves games, I want Robbo (Nick Robertson to do it as well, I want Aishy (James Aish) to have the odd stint in there as well to get lots of ball in hand but we can't, we can't do it,'' he said.
"It's a bit unfair on them a little bit. You want them to build their careers.
"To be perfectly honest, they are not our worst players … they've got some things within their game they've got to improve but there's still plenty of players who have been around for four or five years out there that didn't perform at the level they should have.''
Leppitsch said Jonathan Brown was omitted because he pulled up sore from last week's trip to New Zealand.
"We've got to look after our 30-pluses as much we look after our 18-year-olds,'' he said.
"A few weeks ago we put him out when we shouldn't have and it wasn't helpful for him or the team so we just have to keep making the right calls on that.''
He said conceding multiple goals in time-on was killing Brisbane.
"Players get fatigued and tired. Anything that results in a contest with lots of bodies and the later it goes in quarters, you combine those two things together that's when younger teams tend to struggle,'' he said.
"We can't stop the clock. I'd love to call a time-out … we just have to show a bit of leadership and get better and tough it out.''

Gambling with billions? Emirates airlines 'took a risk' with buying world's largest airplane
The carrier is awaiting the delivery of a further 97 superjumbos after it placed an order for 50 at the Dubai Airshow late last year.

Emirates took a bold and risky move when ordering the world's largest ever commercial airplane, the airline's president Tim Clark has said, but the risk was worth taking. Emirates ordered 11 A380s when Airbus first unveiled the superjumbo in 2007.
"We were bold ordering this double-decker when we did, and in the numbers that we did, but my goodness, it has proved to be a gamble worth taking," Clark said. Since then the Dubai flag bearer has grown its A380 fleet to become the largest in the world, with 37 on its current roster. The carrier is awaiting the delivery of a further 97 superjumbos after it placed an order for 50 at the Dubai Airshow late last year.
Clark, who was speaking exclusively to Gulf Business in his 2014 power letter, also warned of the benefits of competition within the aviation industry being undone by protective moves."The resurgence of protectionist rhetoric in aviation policy-making could potentially undo all the benefits that competition brings to consumers and the global aviation industry."

Experiencing the Boracay Algae Gloom
On a homecoming trip to Romblon, I surprised my mother with a stopover to an island known far and wide, inside and beyond the country: one you can categorically love or categorically hate. An island so mainstream in the local Philippine tourism industry that my inner antisocial self hates with passion but one I couldn't get enough off since my feet got the feel of its world-famous carpet of sand: Boracay
My last Boracay trip was in January 2015 and I initially thought that the beachfront would be littered with dirty beer cans, lost slippers and other traces of debauchery after years of steady growth of commercialism. Yet, I was pleasantly surprised to find it as pristine and iridescent as ever and so I thought of bringing my mom here so she can relax before we continue our trip to an island nearby.
I kind of expected it would be the same beautiful (crowded) paradise as it was in January . Alas, my hopes are dashed with our personal encounter of the infamous Boracay Algae Bloom (and an even larger crowd – the remnants of LaBoracay Party 2015)
Growing up, I used to hear praises and accolades about this tiny beautiful island. Boracay is the country's answer to the beautiful Hawaii – our own own paradise island. Aside from boasting one of the greatest beach sands in the Philippines, it is also home to extreme water sports activities and outdoor thrills. Of course, I don't need to mention how it turns into a mega-crazy place where you can party all night and not ever recall a single thing the morning after. Along with the fame is also the imminent downfall, as they say. After a while, media has shown countless footage and documentaries of how dirty the place is turning to be, how businessmen and investors keep on building their facilities without slightest regard to the island's natural beauty and how nature is supposedly fighting back by sending legions of green aliens to its shores.
According to what I found in the internet, the Boracay Algae Bloom is more of a structural problem than an environmental one. The island's underdeveloped sewage system simply can't keep up with the wave of business and commercial investments coming in. Locals have been dumping their waste on the sea before it became a top-ranked Philippine destination. Imagine the situation now with onslaught of tourists coming in every year in the last twenty years (and counting)
Still, you can't dismiss the environmental factors surrounding the issue. With great people comes great trash. It's the sad, painful truth. Congestion, over-development and the island's inner resources and facilities unable to cope up with the demand of the industry may spell its doom eventually.
I'm not saying anyone shouldn't visit Boracay from now on. All I'm trying to say is that we should be at least aware of the island's vulnerability. Most of us come to Boracay to enjoy, to relax, to party, to let loose and return to our normal lives refreshed with the sun's kiss still warm in our skins. We're like: "But moooooom, it's hard to think about the environment when you're having fun!!" Maybe that's why the algae bloom is seasonally there to remind us of its vulnerability and violating it further wouldn't do it (or your future trips) any good. Everything you do in the island is connected to how it will turn out to be. Follow the simple rules of not smoking or bringing any food/beverage to the beachfront. If an establishment is violating the rules in favor of profit than human decency, stop patronizing them. Leave nothing, take nothing. Or as I like to paraphrase it: Make love on the sand but don't leave your condom behind. (this is an expression. Seriously, get a room). Enjoy the beauty, not abuse it. If you love Boracay and is deeply concerned for its future, join or support an NGO for its protection.
((And to the local government unit and tourism department, maybe we should move now from Promoting to Protecting? The success of tourism lies not on making it a worthy tourist destination now, but making it a worthy tourist destination for generations to come.))

ANKARA, Turkey, Jun 05, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- At the 7th National Molecular and Diagnostic Microbiology Congress in Ankara, Bruker announces an exclusive framework agreement with Duzen ( www.duzen.com.tr ) in the area of molecular microbial identification based on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Duzen is one of the leading private diagnostic laboratory groups in Turkey, and Bruker is the leading provider of mass spectrometry-based microorganism identification solutions worldwide. Duzen Laboratories, a highly regarded clinical diagnostics company for 38 years, is the pioneer in its field in introducing new technologies into routine clinical use in Turkey. In addition, Duzen also supports government and university funded health programs, and is the contract service provider of several embassies for visa applications.
During an extensive evaluation study of the commercially available MALDI-TOF based microorganism identification systems, Bruker's MALDI Biotyper solution repeatedly outperformed other systems in both its analytical performance and easy to use workflow. On this basis, Duzen decided to enter into an exclusive long-term agreement with Bruker to equip its laboratories with the market leading MALDI Biotyper system.
"We decided that the MALDI Biotyper is the most suitable system based on its smart and intelligent workflows and IT embedding features, and coupled with Bruker's service and support network significantly reduced the challenges of implementing a new technology like MALDI-TOF into our daily routine workflow," commented Dr. Gorkem Yaman, Microbiology Specialist at Duzen.
Dr. Yaman commented further: "After successfully introducing a revolutionary species identification workflow, Bruker's team of microbiologists are continuing to expand the horizons of MALDI-TOF microbial applications, providing us with initial ideas on how to detect particular resistance mechanisms with the MALDI Biotyper. This means that MALDI-TOF based detection of B-lactamases and carbapenemases activity is possible in less than three hours, for some enzymes even within one hour. This approach also can be applied to the analysis of positive blood cultures using Bruker's MALDI Sepsityper kit, obtaining information both on the species and its possible resistance mechanisms within a couple of hours. This may have a significant impact on the clinical management of patients in Turkey."
"When considering potential partners it is important for us to identify not only the most reliable partner but one that fully understands our needs and requirements. Bruker's "Open Microbiology Concept" permits us to use and connect different technologies of our choice; this flexible approach compliments our own strategy and concepts perfectly. The philosophies of both companies fit nicely together and I am looking forward to expanding the cooperation into other regions in the future," concluded Dr. Elvan Laleli-Sahin, Member of the Board of Directors, Duzen.
Dr. Guido Mix, Director of Microbiology at Bruker Daltonics, added: "We are very pleased that after leading the MALDI-TOF-based revolution for microbial identification, Bruker is now also leading the integration of this new molecular method into the overall microbiological workflow. Our efforts toward developing smart and straightforward workflows for the daily microbiological routine of labs are especially valued by our customers. Being able to offer very robust mass spectrometer hardware and software, and proven hands-on standard operating protocols, all backed-up by our dedicated microbiology support specialists, makes Bruker a reliable long-term partner."
About the Bruker MALDI Biotyper
Bruker's dedicated MALDI Biotyper solution ( www.bdal.com/maldibiotyper ) enables molecular identification, and taxonomical classification or dereplication of microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Classification and identification of microorganisms is achieved reliably and quickly using proteomic fingerprinting by high-throughput MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Applications include clinical routine microbial identification, environmental and pharmaceutical analysis, taxonomical research, food and consumer product safety and quality control, as well as marine microbiology. Bruker's robust MALDI Biotyper method requires minimal sample preparation efforts and offers low consumables cost per sample. The MALDI Biotyper is available in a research-use-only version, as well as in an IVD-CE version according to EU directive EC/98/79 in various European countries.

Liam Payne And Cheryl Fernandez-Versini Have NOT Split, Despite Reports
Liam Payne and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini are not "over already," despite a number of inaccurate reports. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct all the outlets that have falsely claimed the two have split. We're told it's "ridiculous" and "not true."
According to the know-nothings at HollywoodLife, Payne and Fernandez-Versini "have called it quits after Liam took down his social media pic with the 'X Factor' judge." The clueless webloid adds that Payne removing a black-and-white two-shot of himself with Fernandez-Versini that he previously posted on Instagram is a real "breakup move if we ever saw one." The unreliable site then regurgitates how the two have been dating under the radar since December, adding, "how fast things can change." Similarly, the equally spotty Mirror writes that there's "trouble in paradise as Liam has removed the loved-up snap of them on his Instagram account and replaced it with a rather moody selfie."
Both those outlets and many more that didn't bother to fact-check, and instead wrote stories predicated on baseless speculation, are 100 percent wrong. Gossip Cop can exclusively debunk all the split stories. Payne and Fernandez-Versini are still very much together. A source close to the couple joked, "That was quick," before adding that talk of a breakup is both "ridiculous" and "not true."

So, I know usually I post about YA books I have read, but I also want to share that along with Kiera Cass' The Elite coming out soon, that I also am really looking forward to the third book in the Across the Universe Trilogy, Shades of Earth: An Across the Universe Novel by Beth Revis.
The Across the Universe trilogy is a YA Dystopian murder mystery novel with of course, some love thrown in for good measure and a strong female character that has a world that needs saving. The first two books take place on a spaceship, Godspeed where the wealthy and useful individuals have cryogenically frozen themselves for a 300 year trek to re-populate and settle their species on Centauri-Earth, meanwhile the people who live and operate the ship are of a lower caste. We start off the series when Elder (the new to be leader, born and raised within Godspeed) finds a semi-thawed, unplugged Amy, a previously frozen teen who is there with her parents waiting in their frozen state, until they reach Centauri-Earth. Someone is out to kill the frozen and it is up to Amy and Elder to find out who and why this is happening.
Shades of Earth was released earlier this year and I don't really know how I missed the release date, but I cannot wait to get my paws on this read!

Najwa and Her Facial Expressions
All newborns and infants make these weird and crazy facial expressions. Sometimes they're just excited to see you, other times it's just gas; almost every time it's involuntarily or done reflexively.
With Najwa, it's always intentional, all the time, and I can't get enough of it. While we waited for our takeout at Yum's, all I had to do was go into selfie mode and the show was on.

Florence Welch wants her own fashion line but admits it is something she would want to spend a lot of time perfecting.
Florence Welch wants her own fashion line.
The Florence + The Machine singer would love her own clothing range but admits it is something she would want to spend a lot of time perfecting.
She said: "[Having a clothing range] really appeals to me. I would definitely think about it in the future. I'm very particular about what I like though, so I'd really need to spend some time on it."
The 'No Light, No Light' hitmaker buys most of her clothes online because she travels so much - and despite her success she still thinks twice about buying expensive designer garments.
She told LOOK magazine: "I'm on the road quite a lot so I look on the internet at Net-a-porter for things that I think, 'Hmm one day when I can afford it' and I'm always on the Topshop website."
Despite her reluctance to splash out on expensive clothes, Florence - who was part of Karl Lagerfeld's CHANEL spring/summer 2012 show - admires the work of many designers.
She said: "I love Temperley - I wore her designs for my album launch. And I was really lucky that Gucci made all my clothes for the tour.
"Everything that VALENTINO designs is amazing and I love Erdem. And, of course, Chanel."
The music scene of Austin, Texas becomes tainted by lust and illict desires as two...

I spoke to the owner and he said the heat output is good but it's more ashy then he would like to see so he's just blowing them out for that price. I only have eyes for Barefoots so if anyone tries them and likes them, please post the results. It's a great price.

She refused to give up her home. So now it's on the move to make way for the new headquarters for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
Starting in 1945, Charlesetta Taylor's house on North Market Street in St. Louis has been home to five generations of her family.
"I was only 10 years old when we moved in this home so most of my life has been spent here," Taylor said.
Her neighbors have recently left the area, making way for the 1.75 billion-dollar project, but Taylor refused to do the same.
Now, instead of demolishing it like several more in the area, the city is moving Taylor's home eight blocks to make room for the $1.75 billion spy agency headquarters.
PHOTOS: STL home on the move
PHOTOS: STL home on the move
The city says given the home's history and good structural shape, it cost about the same to move it as it would have to buy it and tear it down.
"It's amazing," says the now less skeptical Taylor of the move her home is making. "I'm giving God all the credit, but I know that he works through people…what they've showed me so far, I have to trust them."
The house makes its full move this Sunday. It will be a few weeks before Taylor can move back in.
"They promised me they would do it and they've kept their word," Taylor said.
The focus Wednesday was moving the house away from its foundation and onto the street. It's a pretty slow process. It took about an hour to move even just a few feet.
A crowd gathered to watch crews do the delicate work.
"I'm excited to see it move," said Mike Baldwin, a neighbor who represents the group Save North Side STL. "I'm a little nervous that it holds together. I've seen some not do that."
The house won't be fully moved to its new location until Sunday, February 26. Taylor won't be able to move in until a few weeks after that. Despite the journey, she feels her family is blessed to have the same home – just with a different address.
"We are a family of faith and we had no more influence than any other family in the area but God blessed us and we give him all the glory," Taylor said.
The feds could break ground on the new NGA campus by next January.

Loris Reggiani
Life Path Number 5
Loris Reggiani is a male celebrity.
He was born on Wednesday October 7th 1959, in Forli, Italy,.
The key to Loris' personality is freedom. Loris loves travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people. He possesses the curiosity of a cat and longs to experience all of life.
Loris Reggiani loves to be involved in several things at the same time as long as he is not tied down to any one area. Reggiani likes change, new things and new horizons. He makes friends easily; his personality is upbeat and often inspiring attracting people from all walks of life. Loris has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. He can be in sales, advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires communication skills and understanding of people.
Loris Reggiani likely lacks discipline and order. He can also be impulsive, doing or expressing things he regrets later. Freedom and a need for adventure sometimes is not properly controlled by those born with this Life Path, causing problems with drug abuse, overindulgence in food or sex, or generally abusing the gift of life.
Loris is sensual and loves to taste all of life. Sex, food and other sensory experiences are essential to the enjoyment of his life. He finds it difficult to commit to one relationship, but once committed, Loris Reggiani can be as faithful as an old dog.
He is multi-talented and possesses a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to Reggiani's success. Without these, many of the tasks Loris begins will remain unfinished and he will fail to realize the true fruits of his abilities. With hard work and perseverance, however, the sky is the limit. Loris Reggiani may be perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of concern by his family. However, he must not be obliged to hurry his choice of career. He is often a late-bloomer and needs to experience life before he can truly know and commit to his heart's desire. Loris' challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom. Change is constant in his world, requiring adaptability and courage.
Loris Reggiani should try to maintain an exercise program, keep his body in shape and limber. The flexibility and durability of Reggiani's body will promote security and confidence within him. Loris yearns for freedom, and self-employment attracts him powerfully. His challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate his ability sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once Loris Reggiani finds his niche, the motivation and inspiration he supplies others with will bring him much in return, and Reggiani will find his friends and colleagues supporting and promoting him on the road to success.
You and Loris
About Loris' Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Loris Reggiani's birth. In that instant, Loris stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Reggiani's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Loris Reggiani's life.

Lt. Col. Donald Walter stands near destroyed Iraqi tanks during the first Gulf War. Walter now commands the Marine detachment at the Navy Supply Corps School in Athens.Special
Just five days after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, Lt. Col. Donald Walter left for the desert of Saudi Arabia, where he would spend nearly eight months breathing the oil-drenched air.
Fear, he said, was not an emotion he experienced when contemplating his duties in Desert Storm. Marines are trained to be tough, and the mission must override personal feelings and physical discomfort.
On the eve of another attack against Saddam Hussein's Iraq, 12 years after the first Gulf War, Walter - commanding officer of the Marine detachment at the Navy Supply Corps School in Athens - contemplates the hundreds of people he knows who are overseas, braced to fight. Fighting war may not be scary, but it is trying.
''All I can tell you is it is emotional,'' he said. ''The highs are high, the lows are low. While it's happening, you ask yourself, 'What'd I ever do to get in this mess?'''
Walter, who is still on active duty, served as an aviation logistics officer while stationed in Saudi Arabia, securing and maintaining aircraft used in war. Before the U.S.-led attack began, life in the desert was quiet - but quickly the American troops began to work around the clock, every day of the week.
Exhaustion set in.
''One time I slept right through a Scud (missile) attack,'' said Walter. ''I was just so tired. I woke up and everybody was gone. There was nobody there. I instinctively walked over to my bunker and there were 25 of my Marines in there in NBC (nuclear-biological-chemical) gear. I was wearing a t-shirt.''
Walter would not say whether Desert Storm troops were exposed to chemical weapons, and whether those weapons caused serious health problems. He did say, however, that ''it was a severe environment to live in.''
Lt. Col. Donald Walter, foreground, saw firsthand the effects of burning Kuwaiti oil fields set ablaze by retreating Iraqi forces during the first Gulf War .Special
''I don't have any doubt in my mind that if people say they had a problem from Desert Storm, that there may be some legitimacy to it,'' he said.
Although every day brought new events and different threats, there were persistent themes - extremely hot temperatures during the day, and cold air all night. The smoke from the Kuwaiti oil fields - set on fire by Iraqis - blackened the sky and stuck to the troops' skin and clothes. The atmosphere was so thick with oil, Walter noted, it was difficult to take photographs.
Once the Iraqi troops retreated from Kuwait, Walter's unit, the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, moved into Kuwait City. Troops confronted damaged buildings, quiet streets and Kuwaiti citizens who thanked them for their liberation.
But remnants of the meals eaten by Iraqi soldiers imprinted disturbing images in Walter's memory.
''You could see piles of seagull beaks and feathers,'' said Walter. ''That's what they were eating. ... They had to have been miserable. There's one thing I'm sure of about Saddam Hussein - he's not there to defend his people. He's there to defend himself.''
Walter said he supports President Bush's decision not to eliminate Saddam Hussein 12 years ago, even though the leader is again the locus of war.
''In hindsight, maybe you could say we should have kept going. It would have been easy - Iraq was completely decimated,'' he said. ''But again, you have to trust in the decisions of your leaders and go with it.''
Walter supports the right of people to protest war, but hopes that the American public will support the mission of the troops. He was jubilant upon returning to North Carolina in April 2001 - the troops were met by crowds of supporters.
He said the media has overplayed the role of American military technology in the success of Desert Storm - even if Iraq and the United States traded weapons, he said, Americans would still have been victorious.
''The reason we won the war was because we had the best people,'' he said. ''We were the most highly trained, highly skilled, highly spirited people.''

Bahrain's Shiite-led opposition on Sunday slammed the Sunni-ruled government for warning people against joining protests that are planned for next month and named after Egypt's "Tamarod" rebellion movement.
"The people have the right to protest peacefully" on August 14 to mark the 42nd anniversary of British forces pulling out of the Gulf kingdom, said the Al-Wefaq movement.
Al-Wefaq urged the authorities not to use the demonstrations as a pretext to crackdown on the opposition and launch widespread arrests.
"This will not solve the political crisis. The solution is in satisfying the people's aspirations for liberty, social justice and democracy," said the Shiite movement.
In a statement issued late on Saturday, Bahrain's interior ministry warned anyone against taking part in "illegal demonstrations and activities that endanger security".
We're on a mission to show you the real Middle East.
Signup to our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
It referred to calls for demonstrations to be held on August 14 under the slogan "Bahrain Tamarod" -- rebellion in Arabic.
The calls were made by the Bahrain Rebellion Movement which issued its first communique online on July 3 -- the day Egypt's Islamist leader Mohamed Morsi was ousted in a military coup after a grassroots movement called Tamarod organised massive nationwide demonstrations demanding he resigns.
The interior ministry warned security forces would "deal with any attempt to disturb security and stability".
Protests are frequent in the Shiite-majority kingdom ruled by the Sunni Al-Khalifa dynasty, despite a 2011 crackdown on mass protests inspired by Arab Spring uprisings.
At least 80 people have been killed in Bahrain since the protests erupted, according to the International Federation for Human Rights.

The X-factor: Hands-on with Fujifilm's X30
The X30, Fujifilm's latest enthusiast compact camera offers the same 12MP sensor and 28-112mm (equivalent) lens as the X20 but improves on its predecessor with updated ergonomics. Changes include a new electronic viewfinder and a tilting screen. We've had access to a prototype X30 for a few days - click through for a hands-on tour of the new camera.

I own it
I want it
I had it
Discuss in the forums
I have the x20, and I don't mind it's viewfinder or handling. The fact that there is no improvement to the sensor in the X30 is very disappointing. I would have upgraded for that alone.
i selected Olympus XZ-2 over Fuji X20
Now X30 has only better it by having the EVF......
Was hoping to go back to Fuji.
The unique selling point of the cam against the Sony RX100... is the Electrical View Finder.
If you don't need it: buy Sony. If you need it, buy Fuji or other cams with EVF.
My fz1000 is close to thAt. The problem is the X30 has nothing else to get excited about. The rx100 mark 3 has better low light Image quality and fits in my pocket.
For the x30 to get me to want it and try the Fuji system it needed something more. Instead it's no better than the Two year old model.
I praise Fuji for using top-notch 2,4M EVF and take this anytime instead of inaccurate tunnel type OVF, but with giving the OVF away X30 lost some of it´s appeal and uniqueness (of the front view). Now the front look too plain and dull, with too big empty plastic area.
I share your impression; but on the other Hand now it resembles the XE1 / 2.
"X30 offers faux mechanical exposure mode and exposure compensation dials on its top-plate"
What d you mean by "faux" - they don't work? ;)
I asked the same question. Maybe _faux_ because it's not mechanical, it's electronical!
Faux because there's no mechanical linkage between dial and shutter / aperture.
You've lost me. What is written is not incorrect. Where's the problem?
I currently have an X20 and I'l glad I have it - I wouldn't buy without an optical viewfinder.
I have the x10 - and whilst I think the OVF is nice indeed (one of the reasons I bought it in the first place)... it is nowhere near as practical... the x20 does fare a tad better - but still miles of from the X100's hybrid Vf (which I use 90% of the time).
Myself I'd prefer the EVF with 2.36Mpx... over the tunnel viewfinder.
finally focus in visible, and there's 100% coverage.
X30 is still 28mm as X10 and X20, but Sony RX100-M3 is 24mm (which is a big plus) while RX100-M1/2 was 28mm.
How can X30 compete with Sony RX100 M1 and M2 with sensor size and price?
This is a really appealing design, at least to me.
On the contrary, I'd rather like better the previous design models BUT I'll give it that it must be tough to keep that [design] with all the newer specs like the improved sensor and lens... Wait! They aren't!
This fixed zoom series had a few trademarks along its overall experience design and size, mainly its IQ given by its sensor+lens combination that should already be improved by now, instead of making up an old lady which doesn't make sense at all. I wished I could keep up my love. My heart is broken.
Looks to be yet another winning camera for Fuji
Trend used to be ; making smaller cams with similar specs.
Seems Fuji has not knew about it :)
blindly "not following the rules" is just as bad a following the rules, the X30 is practically as large as the X100
TIME Magazine has named the Sony a7R III one of its top 10 gadgets of 2017. It was the only camera that made the illustrious list this year, receiving high praise from TIME, who dubbed it "one of the best mirrorless cameras ever made."
Thanks to Google Assistant integration, the Pixel 2's AI-powered 'Google Lens' camera feature will soon be easier and quicker to use.
Photographer Jenna Martin and her model friend Rachelle Kathleen set themselves a challenge: could they create beautiful portraits in an 'ugly' location? So they went to a local Lowe's hardware store and gave it a go!
The LG V30 differentiates itself from the competition with an expansive video feature set and a secondary wide angle camera, making it something of a Swiss Army knife for content creators.

A couple of weeks ago, Leona Lowery got a note in the mail that came very close to being a shot through the heart.
It was from one of the directors of the prestigious Ihlombe! South African Choral Festival. The event's organizers knew Lowery's choir at Northwestern High School was working very hard to raise the money, the director wrote, but they just couldn't wait any longer.
"They were about to drop us. They wrote this long letter telling us they have to pay the bills for the festival and we were holding everything up," said Lowery, choir director at the Hyattsville school.
Lowery had been dreading that moment, when she'd have to tell her 50 hardworking students that — even though they were the only choir in the entire United States chosen to perform — they just couldn't afford the trip.
She'd done it with Prague years ago. And Vienna. And London. Her students were so talented and excelled so much that they'd been asked to perform all over the world, but their working-class families just didn't have that kind of money. And the after-school jobs and fundraising bake sales, fruit sales, concerts and pizza nights they hoped would fund the trip all came up short.
Then, just in time, the money was there: $70,000 worth of cold, hard encouragement.
The day after I wrote a column in March about the choir and their predicament, 250 letters flooded the school booster club's post office box.
The box was so crammed, in fact, that the booster's treasurer, the mom of a bass singer, said she had a hard time getting the letters out.
The total that first day was $15,000 in donations, and added to the fund the choir had been building for two years. Even so, it got them just halfway to the $100,000 they needed to get to South Africa.
Two days later, tireless fundraising parent Rumi Matsuyama, whose daughter sings soprano, organized a few parents to head to Mount Rainier's city hall, to ask the city for a donation.
"Let's stop at the post office," suggested Donna Thurston, the bass singer's mom. The box was empty this time, except for one slip of paper.
"Oh well," she thought, grabbing the paper and darting back to the car. When she got in, she read the note aloud. "Dear Sir or M'am, Your box has too much mail. Please come to the desk."
When she returned with the note, a postal clerk shouted out: "It's that person with all the mail! It's her! It's her!" and the entire staff came forth and began applauding.
The post office had baskets and baskets of mail for them.
The staff helped carry the bins, filled with more than 450 letters. The parents waiting in the car saw the parade, heard the applause and everyone began crying, Lowery said.
The postal staff at the Riverdale station had figured out what all the mail was about and took up their own collection, adding it to the top of the pile.
Parent volunteers got together and opened letters until 1 a.m. They read the emotional notes that came with donations that ranged from $5 to $1,200.
I had asked readers to forgo their Starbucks for the day and send the choir that cash instead.
"This is not my Starbucks allowance — it is my this week's paycheck! I am a retired school secretary walking dogs," wrote a donor who sent the choir $93 and a handwritten note on Disney stationery. "Go — sing your hearts out — we love you guys!"
They got money and notes from as far away as California and from an alum living across the street from the school. One letter came from South Africa and was stuffed with South African rand.
The grand total last week? $70,300.
Lowery grabbed her phone.
"We sent you the money! We're coming," Lowery said to the man from the music festival. "We just sent you the check."
She is now nagging the kids to get their passports in order and get their gowns hemmed and tuxedos fixed.
"The excitement that fills my chorus room now is priceless," Lowery said.
When I met the singers earlier in March, almost all of them talked about the trip using the phrase "If we go."
Joshua Conner, a tenor who is a senior, was one of the "ifs."
He began working at McDonald's after school to help save. But he was falling short of the monthly savings goals, plus he hadn't bought his passport yet.
This week, it's different.
"It's very real," he wrote to me. " We definitely will be on that plane July 10, 2013!!
"Everyone has that 'we are going' mindset and we have more people joining the trip," he said.
You don't hear that 'if' word around Northwestern High School so much these days.
Now, they say "When we go. When," Lowery said.
Thank you, readers, for your help making it happen.

Glad that there is some awareness starting. You don't know how much I would like to start fresh in a new town, and have everyone just know that I am disabled, instead of people that have seen me out and about for years and think I must be fine. My daughter has a dilated aoric root, so the vascular part of EDS scares the crap outta me. I'm really glad that there are docs with good knowledge in this, though.

@Angie - I am so glad there is too! And, boy, do I understand. Wouldn't that be nice to just start fresh, where everyone doesn't question your every move and whether or not you are disabled, including family and friends....how nice that would be! I am SO sorry to hear about your daughter's aorta. How is it doing these days? How often does she go back to have it checked?

Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.

West Madison Avenue has come a long way since George Lemperis felt compelled to carry a gun in his pocket.
"What has happened to this neighborhood is beyond belief," said Lemperis, who has owned the Palace Grill since the late 1970s. "This was skid row Chicago," he said.
But Lemperis and others say things started to turn around about two years after the United Center opened its doors in 1994. The Democratic National Convention came to Chicago in '96, and the arena was the Bulls' home during their second run of three consecutive championships, hosting the 1996, 1997, and 1998 NBA Finals.
In the wake of all that activity is new condo developments and often-full bars and restaurants.
For those business owners, the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup run is like the icing on the cake.
"It's like a Little Wrigleyville here. They've got the places after the games [and] the people come by and hang out at these places. It's really cool," said Lemperis.
Ald. Walter Burnett represents one side of the area near the United Center and said he remembers when prostitution plagued the area. And he said he believes the Blackhawks' ongoing success is helping fuel the progression of the neighborhood.
"A couple of these games is equivalent to, like, two or three months of income for some of the businesses," he said.

Twenty reporters from prestigious media outlets across the U.S. and Germany are the newest participants in an influential exchange program for young journalists, the Arthur F. Burns Fellowship.
Many of this year's U.S. participants come from leading radio stations across the country. Also represented are Washington news website Politico, VICE Media, and The Washington Times. Their German colleagues hail from top news organizations such as N24 TV, Die Zeit and Der Spiegel newspapers.
The Fellows will come to Washington, D.C.
We hope you enjoy ICFJ's quarterly newsletter. In our programs, we seed new ideas and services that deepen coverage, expand news delivery and engage citizens in the editorial process.
Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky may not have died in vain.
ICFJ's Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) is helping reveal the fate of millions missing from Russia's treasury—money that Magnitsky contended Russian tax officials stole in a scheme with organized criminals.
OCCRP's 13 member organizations include investigative reporting centers and news organizations throughout Eastern Europe cooperating to help people in the region understand how organized crime and corruption affect them.
When Mercedes Sayagues arrived in Mozambique three years ago to begin work as a Knight International Journalism Fellow, health news was consigned to the back pages, health stories were based on news releases, and health assignments went to the least experienced reporters.
Indian journalist Syed Nazakat has received the Christiane Amanpour Award for Religion Reporting for his story in The Week magazine about how Saudi Arabian officials and clerics are using the Koran and other religious texts to rehabilitate Al Qaeda fighters. The International Center for Journalists gives the award in honor of Amanpour, the 2011 winner of its Founders Award for Excellence in Journalism and a model for enlightening coverage of divisive religion issues.
For the story "Reborn in Riyadh," Nazakat traveled to four Saudi cities.
We've recently launched the newest version of the InfoAmazonia platform, which includes interactive photo galleries, video mashups and a new "distribution widget" that will allow journalists and NGOs to customize their own maps and data layers.
The InfoAmazonia platform uses satellite feeds and other publicly available data to monitor the fragile, nine-country Amazon Basin region.
For his work as a Knight International Journalism Fellow, Harry Surjadi has won the 2013 Communications for Social Change Award. He developed a groundbreaking news channel in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, using mobile and FrontlineSMS texting. He also trained hundreds of indigenous citizens to be reporters for this new platform.
Why don't Latinos invest in 401(k) programs? Is the Navajo nation making a good move by investing in coal extraction? Are low-wage workers really better off than the unemployed? These are some of the key issues tackled by reporters, recently honored for raising financial literacy in minority communities.
ISLAMABAD - Almost 80 participants in ICFJ's U.S.-Pakistan Professional Partnership in Journalism Program gathered in Islamabad in February to share how this initiative has transformed their work, their media organizations and their perceptions of the United States.
Journalists from megacities Lahore and Karachi and from remote areas such as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Balochistan said that spending nearly a month working with American counterparts in U.S.
Less than a week after participating in an ICFJ "training of trainers" session in early February, reporter Fakhar Durrani of Dunya News was already leading a workshop on journalism ethics in his Islamabad newsroom. He's also helping to draft his organization's first code of ethics.
Durrani is one of 13 Pakistani journalists who participated in the three-day session, held as part the U.S.-Pakistan Professional Partnership in Journalism Program.

My bf and I are planning a special occasion dinner very soon. We are debating between George and Chiado. I've been to both but in each instance it was over two years ago. My bf hasn't been to either.
This is a very rare occasion for us as he's a chef and NEVER gets a night off on a weekend. That being said I want to treat his to the best dinning experience possible.
For him presentation is just as important as the quality of the food, for me it is service.
Thoughts chowhounds?
