KINGSTON, N.Y. -- The water level in the city's Cooper Lake reservoir in Woodstock has dropped even further since Kingston declared a "drought emergency" last week.
As a result, the city is considering buying water from other municipalities.
Kingston Water Superintendent Judith Hansen said the water level in Cooper Lake is about 13 feet below normal. That's a foot lower than when the emergency was declared last week.
At that time, Hansen said the reservoir was only 50 percent full.
Hansen said the heavy rain that fell last Saturday was beneficial but that it wasn't significant enough to reverse the problems.
The "drought emergency," which comes with numerous restrictions on water use, is the city's first since 1980, when the water level in Cooper Lake fell to 15 feet below normal.
In 1957 and 1964, the water level in the reservoir fell a record 17 feet, Hansen has said.
Hansen said the city Water Department is investigating the possibility of buying water from the Town of Ulster Water District and the Port Ewen Water and Sewer District.
Hansen said the department could buy 1.5 million gallons a day from the two districts but that "it would be a real hit to our budget."
Hansen said the department also is preparing to install a temporary piping system to draw water from New York City's Ashokan Reservoir in central Ulster County but that the process could take some time.
The Ashokan currently is at 74.2 percent capacity, and New York City has not issued any warnings or usage restrictions.
Hansen said Kingston residents appear to be complying with the restrictions that were put in place on Sept. 6. Since then, she said, city water use has dropped from 3.8 million gallons to 3.5 million gallons per day.
"We are hoping they can do more, but it is a good start," she said.
Kingston called for voluntary water conservation on Aug. 17 but made the restrictions mandatory last week.
Under the new restrictions, city residents:
o Cannot wash cars or other vehicles. (Commercial car washes that recycle at least 50 percent of the water they use are exempt.)
o Cannot wash sidewalks,� buildings, driveways, steps or other outdoor areas.
o Must turn off ornamental water features, such as fountains, waterfalls, reflecting pools, etc., unless recycled water is used.
o Cannot water lawns, golf courses, shrubs, plants, or trees except between 9 and 10 p.m. (Hand-held containers may be used at any time to water vegetables or fruit grown for human consumption. Also, commercial growers can continue to water there products but must reduce usage by 15 percent.)
o Cannot refill swimming pools that aren't equipped with recirculation devices.
The decree also states residents must fix leaky pipes.
Additionally, it states, "all non-residential users of water from the Kingston Water Department shall prepare and retain a water consumption reduction plan, enabling (them) to reduce use of water in stages of 15 percent, 20 percent and 25 percent based upon consumption during the calendar year.� During this Stage 1 of the drought emergency, the 15 percent reduction is consumption is immediately effective."
Hansen said the Water Department doesn't intend to issue tickets to violators but will "knock on doors" and "try to educate people" about the situation.
The department is allowed to fine people $50 per violation. So far, just one ticket has been issued, Hansen said.
Water-consumption practices that are being suggested, but not mandated, by the city Water Department include:
o Running washing machines and dishwashers only when they are full.
o Turning off water while brushing teeth.
o Installing low-flow water fixtures, such as shower heads.

Festivals & Artists React To David Guetta's Racially-Charged Residency Theme
David Guetta might have just crossed the line in his latest promo video for his upcoming F*** Me I'm Famous residency at Pacha in Ibiza. The video features footage of men and women wearing Native American headdresses and outfits dancing on beaches and marching through the streets of Ibiza.
The video was meant to promote Guetta's upcoming residency at Pacha, but now it has a lot of people up in arms. Many who have watched the video feel that its use of Native American attire and portrayal of Native American culture is not only inappropriate, but also in bad taste.
The video has since been removed. But as a direct result of the video, a number of music festivals around the world have announced that they will be banning the wearing of Native American headdresses to their festivals. îleSoniq was the first festival to make an announcement in reaction to Guetta's video, issuing the following statement on their Facebook page.
Heavy Montreal and Osheaga have also both announced that they won't be allowing attendees to wear Native American headdresses to their festivals.
Guetta also recently caught flak from deadmau5 for having a real life horse brought into Pacha to celebrate the start of his residency there.
The horse was followed by a procession of women wearing Native American headdresses and outfits. Deadmau5 criticized Guetta for endangering everyone at Pacha, as well as the horse itself, by having such a large live animal brought into a crowded and noisy space such as a nightclub.
Check out the short clip of the whole scene along with Joel's tweets.

Discussion in 'The Howard Stern Show' started by slats7, Oct 29, 2012.
Howard and Beth or Paul McCartney and his younger wife?
Compared to this???
props to both Howard and Paul. Rock on!
Paul's wife is an earner.
Paul still has his hair.
Howard looks like a "rock star"
Pete Campbell...........
Sir Paul's punch is sexier.........
Sorry, BOTH look regoddamdiculous.... Like daddies out with their daughters.
But for a winner: I think Howard and Beth look just awful - esp that pic. She looks like the quintessential gold-digging whore. No class, no taste, just out to get as much as she can get.
And, he looks like an IDIOT.
Paul's face is getting that lower jaw Pez dispenser look
All I see in that first picture is an old woman and her daughter?
Does this one have both legs?
I used to think Linda was British because she was ugly an had no talent.
Then he tried with a one legged Brit, who was a bitch.
Now he's with a Jersey Jewess, good luck, at least she looks like she's in her 40's it's not like a 20 year old. She's around 51 or so, it's about the same age difference.
That seriously looks like a pimp and his hooker.
McCartney just looks his age.
Howard looks flat out odd.
paul looks like trump's mom
howard looks like the biggest fucking tool dork.
they are both so bad, it doesn't matter which is worse. though i give the edge to howard, simply because of the amount of thought that went into his look. he was going for hip & cool, which is pathetic enough. but then this is what he comes up with. and beth. didn't it turn out that's a bathing suit (or was it lingerie?) she put shorts over? a couple of real fashionistas.
Hold on, we have a late entry. Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood and his soon-to-be 34-yo wife.
Is there nothing these women wont do for money?
I vote for Howie / Beth only because Paul has talent and seems to be a nice guy, or to be blunt, the opposite of Howard.

Nisemonogatari Quotes
Anime News Network : In Bakemonogatari, the story centers on Koyomi Araragi, a third-year high school student who has recently survived a vampire attack, and finds himself mixed up with all kinds of apparitions: gods, ghosts, myths, and spirits. However, in Nisemonogatari, we pick up right where we left off and follow Koyomi as the psychological twists delve deeper and deeper…
Sharing your secret with someone means you involve them in your problems. It may make things easier for you, but your family could end up suffering for it too.
Hachikuji Mayoi (Nisemonogatari)
In a way, the supernatural is what's behind the curtain. Normally, you only need to see what's happening on stage. That's how reality works. If you don't know, it's best that you don't. Actually, learning about the supernatural only increases the number of things you don't know.
Hachikuji Mayoi (Nisemonogatari)
The first requirement of being a hero isn't being right. It's being strong. That's why the hero always wins. Araragi Koyomi (Nisemonogatari)
You can lose the match and the game, but if you don't lose to yourself, it isn't a loss.
Araragi Karen (Nisemonogatari)
Whatever you value… What you consider right is up to you. But don't force those ideals onto other people.
Kagenui Yozuru (Nisemonogatari)
The sun is my enemy, but the moon has been good to me.
Oshino Shinobu (Nisemonogatari)
I'm not a friend of justice, I'm an enemy of evil.
Senjougahara Hitagi (Nisemonogatari)
Actually, I just went out and fought a human like a monster, and a monster like a human, all for you.
Araragi Koyomi (Nisemonogatari)
In their own way, fights are also a valid form of communication.
Araragi Tsukihi (Nisemonogatari)

JUST when you thought the rental market in Australia was tough, one enterprising woman has proven at least one American city has it tougher.
Such a struggle is it to find a roomie in San Francisco, Lauren Fahey has gone to extra lengths to secure a housemate.
The art director put her skills to work to create this catchy visual and posted it to online classifieds site Craigslist and we have to admit, it's pretty impressive.
The poster features quotes from previous roommates, describing Fahey as "tidy", "a great cook" and "clean and considerate".
In the ad, the 27-year-old says she had been relocated to San Francisco from New York for work.
"I am originally from Philadelphia and went to school at Penn State. I'm an art director for a social media agency, and my company transferred me out here to help grow our creative team," she wrote.
Though the best part of the ad lies in the bottom right hand corner, we'll let you find that on your own.
Fahey tweeted this journalist after publishing to confirm she has indeed found her ideal flattie.
We wish them both congratulations and a happy home together.
Now for the next poster: housewarming!
If you know anyone in #SanFrancisco looking for a #roommate, please RT http://t.co/BbRcHibHhZ @lmattia1 @_allisonk @thatdarkgirl— LoTwirls (@LoTwirls) September 23, 2013
@the_mattyoung Yea I actually interviewed with them before I even made this ad but wasn't sure I would get the spot because they talked with— LoTwirls (@LoTwirls) September 27, 2013
@the_mattyoung so many people. But the process in San Fran is nearly impossible and there are many other stories out there of people looking— LoTwirls (@LoTwirls) September 27, 2013

Reader's view: Affordable Care Act is a threat to Republicans
Republicans never seem to tire of telling horror stories about the Affordable Care Act, or ACA. Too bad the lame complaints of pitiful "victims" usually fall apart under the least scrutiny. And, of course, if they can't find real stories, they're happy to make stuff up, even with hired actors, as a Koch brothers-funded group did in Louisiana.
The ACA is an immense improvement for one simple reason: Your insurance company can no longer jerk you around like a puppet on strings. You are no longer subject to the arbitrary whims of a company whose devotion to its beloved bottom line means it has more incentive to deny coverage than to provide it.
Let's remember some of the differences introduced under the ACA. First, pre-existing conditions no longer bar millions of Americans from coverage. Second, there is no yearly cap to reopen a huge potential money sinkhole annually. And, most importantly, there is no lifetime cap. This means you no longer have to worry your entire life savings could be drained away by a single catastrophic medical mishap. What price can be put on your peace of mind?
So even if you had a policy that was satisfactory to you, there is absolutely no way it was comparable to a new ACA-compliant policy. It was comparable only in the same sense that a hot dog is comparable to a steak-and-lobster dinner.
Why do Republicans seem so relentless in spreading misinformation about the ACA? Simple. They are terrified the American people will finally realize that they have the same right to universal and affordable health coverage that is taken for granted in every other developed country -- and that the main obstacle to securing that right is the Republican party.

Customer Support Series: Is There a Way to Increase Video Resolution?
We recently received the following support request from one of our customers:
"The quality of the videos being recorded is in a lower resolution that we had hoped. Is there a way to increase the resolution? We want to showcase videos with higher resolution as we're already seeing a positive impact."
Right now global internet speeds average ~5.0 Mbps. As you can imagine, recording high-resolution video over the web at these speeds is a tall order.
What we've done up until now is govern the video resolution so that when customers record using their desktop or laptop, the videos are indeed lower resolution, but certainly usable.
However, when customers record using their smartphone or tablet, the videos tend to be high resolution because they're actually being recorded to the device first, and then uploaded to Bravo.
That being said, we have exciting plans over the summer to upgrade our recorder's functionality so that all videos will be recorded in high resolution — no matter what the customer's internet speed might be.
Tune in to the Feature Updates section of our blog for more information regarding high resolution video recordings over the next few weeks!

I promised there would be a Sephora Friends and Family this year didn't I?
Today you should be getting a special invite in the mail (I got mine via snail mail but not yet by e-mail) telling me that I could head on in to Sephora on November 8th with a guest and enjoy 20% in store.
The invite is also for purchases available online starting the 8th through the 12th for online purchases at Sephora.com using code…I deleted this temporarily because everyone might have different codes. Will verify and repost if it is the same code for everyone!
This is for VIB members so if you're a BI member
I can't confirm if that code will work for you or not updated: 20% off is for VIB members only, I have no news about BI members but I imagine you'll get 15% Off your order, as information becomes available I'll post. We'll have to patiently wait until Thursday to find out.
No need to panic!
All is well in Sephora Friends and Family discount land!

Matt/Daredevil (Charlie Cox) may be in a tight spot when the third installment of "Daredevil" releases. The International Business Times suggest that if Matt decides to tell the entire truth about his identity to Karen (Deborah Ann Woll), things may take a good turn for the characters.
While a romantic storyline between Karen and Matt will definitely excite fans, there are some issues that the couple will most likely face if ever they become lovers in "Daredevil" season 3.
One of the apparent issues that the two may face if they become a couple is trust. As depicted in the second season of the hit Netflix series, Matt isn't the only one who has secrets. It turns out that Karen also some skeletons in her closet. If the two keep hiding secrets from the other, their relationship may turn sour, especially if the truth is revealed in the end.
Woll is said to have commented on Karen and Matt's relationship. According to the same International Business Times report, the actress said, "There's always going to be this distance because she's not being fully honest with him, and he's not being fully honest with her."
Meanwhile, fans are all over the idea that Vincent D'Onofrio will be part of "Daredevil" season 3. The actor recently gave his thoughts on his character's potential comeback to the series. Speaking with Collider, D'Onofrio said of Kingpin's possible return, "I know he will come back, I just don't know when."
Marvel and Netflix have yet to announce whether Kingpin will be part of the upcoming season and if Matt and Karen will finally fall in love in "Daredevil" season 3. On the other hand, fans are still looking forward to the release of the new episodes.
There is no specific release date announced for the upcoming installment yet but some speculate that the series will return in 2018. Netflix's Marvel series lineup for this year is packed and there may be no place for "Daredevil" at the moment.

Indian pugilists face tough draw: MC Mary Kom
Astana (Kazakhstan): India's five-time champion MC Mary Kom (51kg) will take on Sweden's Juliana Soderstrom in her opening bout of a highly competitive World Women's Boxing Championship where only three of her compatriots were given seedings here yesterday.
MC Mary Kom
The event — the final qualifying tournament for women boxers in the three Olympic categories of 51kg, 60kg, and 75kg — has 12 Rio tickets on offer which means pugilists will have to at least make the semi-finals of the three chosen divisions to book their berth. The other Indians, who would be eyeing Olympic slots apart from Mary Kom are L Sarita Devi (60kg) and Pooja Rani (75kg).
The Olympic category draws are expectedly the most crowded featuring 49 and 47 boxers in the 51kg and 60kg divisions respectively, while the 75kg category has 34 in fray. London Olympic medallist Mary Kom, who is eyeing a record sixth gold in the event, will be in action today along with and Asiad bronze-winner Sarita.

This is the most dodgy agency I have ever worked for. They delayed the payment every single week and every time the amount that they did pay was a lot less than it should have been. They're staff was either highly unqualified in what they were doing, either they were very qualified in ripping people off and pretending that everything is happening the way it is supposed to. Missing hours in a huge amount is a usual thing in Blue Arrow. And if I tried to receive an explanation for my salary deductions or why I haven't been paid, I never received my answer or was simply told "Ooopsy! Our mistake, will pay you back next week. " The following week they would pay you the missing amount of the previous salary, but there would be problems with the new salary. If I could I would give 0 stars and I would newer recommend anybody to work in that awful place.

"Fragile and conflict-affected states are lagging behind in achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015" (UNDP, 2012)
The Fragility and Crisis Management (FCM) Expert Group was created in the eve of the annual meeting in June 2013 to further contribute to the exchanges and knowledge sharing among practitioners working in the field of development cooperation. It is led by the UNDP and the European Commission. The New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States calls for donors to move from a shared understanding of the context to joint approaches or coordinated action. A comprehensive approach to address the security-development nexus or, more generally, the challenges of engaging in fragile contexts can only be a collective effort and endeavour. Collaborative actions and inter-agency cooperation in fragile states, will lead to even greater and more rapid tangible impacts on the ground.
What is fragility?
"A fragile region or state has weak capacity to carry out basic governance functions, and lacks the ability to develop mutually constructive relations with society. Fragile states are also more vulnerable to internal or external shocks such as economic crises or natural disasters. More resilient states exhibit the capacity and legitimacy of governing a population and its territory. They can manage and adapt to changing social needs and expectations, shifts in elite and other political agreements, and growing institutional complexity. Fragility and resilience should be seen as shifting points along a spectrum"(OECD, 2012a).
Why is it difficult to engage with fragile and conflict-affected countries?
Achieving real long-lasting and sustainable development is much harder in fragile states than in other developing countries as they face unique and complex challenges. While the range of issues can vary greatly depending on the country and region, some key issues are common: limited capacity, lack of will to provide basic services and security to citizens, weak relationship between the government and its citizens, challenges related to natural resource management, a private sector which may be largely informal and opportunistic, low levels of foreign direct investments, lack of institutions needed to resolve conflict peacefully, high poverty rates, weak economic performance, high rates of criminal violence, transnational threats such as trafficking in human beings and drugs, arms trafficking, organised crime networks or illegal migration, corruption or a high risk of further state decline. Consequently, aid delivery is more costly, more complex and sometimes less effective in fragile states than in other developing countries.
How to engage differently in fragile states?
1. EU Staff Handbook on Operating in situations of conflict and fragility
It is widely recognized that failure to engage in fragile and conflict-affected situations differently and in an innovative manner is likely to entail major human, social, economic and security costs. Having this in mind, the European Union has put in place a new institutional setup, has issued a new policy framework and has developed a set of innovative, practical approaches to get the best value for money for its external assistance aid programmes and for making a real difference in reducing poverty on the ground. However, while EU policies, methodologies and procedures for aid management are continuously adapting to the new challenges, effective action on the ground also involves building new staff skills, so as to ensure that the available human resources are able to provide the best possible expertise before, during and after a crisis. Thus, human resource becomes an essential factor of failure or success, in particular when dealing with a sudden crisis, but also when tackling transitional processes or implementing development programmes in a fragile context.
It is within this context that the European Commission, DG DEVCO – EuropeAid, Fragility and Resilience Unit, commissioned the development of the "EU Staff handbook for operating in situations of conflict and fragility" in 2014 (Available also in French: "Un guide à l'intention du personnel de l'UE – Agir dans les situations de conflit et de fragilité").
This is a handbook written by staff. It recounts staff experience as told in the first person and documented in evaluations. As such, it seeks to reap the benefits of the EU's rich experience in situations of conflict and fragility.
It is also a handbook written for staff. As such it hopes to provide staff, who have been newly deployed to such situations, with a useful overview of current concepts, policies, instruments and good practices. It does not set out new policies or procedures at length; instead, it summarises them in a single document and points to where more detailed guidance and documentation can be obtained.
Last but not least, it is a living handbook. As new challenges emerge — be they related to demography, new technologies, climate change or identity politics — the business model for engaging in situations of conflict and fragility will evolve. This handbook will reflect the new developments and lessons learned.
All in all, this handbook constitutes a valuable summary of what we have learned so far and the instruments we have created and applied to date. We hope it will help staff to further draw on and enrich the vast knowledge and resource base that we have amassed in order to address the challenges of conflict and fragility effectively, be they entrenched and chronic, or emerging and unfamiliar.
The European Commission, DG DEVCO Fragility and Resilience Unit on the Handbook:
2. Inter-agency Workshop on strengthening Cooperation in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Countries
This workshop was the pilot course of a new era of intra-agency cooperation. During five days of intense knowledge sharing the participants discussed the following issues: The role of rule of law in FCAS, the role of governance and state building approaches, employment/income generation and access to basic services and a NEW DEAL – a window of opportunity to strengthen donor coordination in FCAS.
What were the outcomes?
Key Findings and Recommendations:
- To set up joint mechanisms at country level to develop indicators during the design of State Building Contracts by the EU in fragile countries.
- To create inter-agency technical and fact-finding missions to FCAS.
- To establish common mechanisms for peer review policies, guidance and knowledge products, etc.
- To work together in fragile and conflict-affected countries to increase the complementarity between donor agencies.
- To establish Government-led joint monitoring mechanisms.
In the spirit of this innovative approach, 40 countries and organisations have endorsed the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States at the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan at the end 2011. The New Deal sets out a framework for more effective international engagement in fragile and conflict-affected countries and commits its signatories to support inclusive country-led and country-owned transitions out of fragility. Placing at the heart of donors interventions five peace building and state building goals (legitimate politics, security, justice, economic foundations and revenue and services), the New Deal also commits national actors and their international partners to use resources more effectively, more transparently, to invest more in country systems, to build critical local capacities and to deliver timely and predictable aid.
Strengthening partnerships with other donors through the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States opened up a new space for fragile and conflict-affected countries to take on the major challenges of transitioning from instability to development. With the New Deal, donors have acknowledged that collaboration with other international agencies multiplies the advantages that each organization offers.
The European Union and the United Nations Development Programme are closely working together in an attempt to enhance donor coordination, to reduce aid fragmentation and to push forward the New Deal agenda. Hence, both organisations are committed to preserve peace, prevent conflicts and strengthen international security, in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter. In line with this goal, the European Commission's Agenda for Change proposes a set of measures tackling the challenges of security, fragility and transition, and leading to an increased volume and share of EU aid to the countries most in need and where the EU can have a real impact – fragile states.
- Strengthening Cooperation in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Countries.
- To contribute to the exchanges and knowledge sharing among practitioners working in the field of development cooperation on their approaches and good practices in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Countries.
Learning offer
- Joint Learning Events: The group's first Joint Learning Event took place in Brussels in September 2013 in form of an Inter-Agency Workshop on Strengthening Donor Coordination in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Countries. As a collaborative initiative of DG DEVCO EuropeAid, other Commission services, the European External Action Service, UNDP, USAID and the World Bank, the inaugural Inter-agency Workshop on Strengthening Cooperation in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Countries provided a unique opportunity for representatives of the EU institutions, UN system organisations, USAID and the World Bank to come together and exchange on the most frequent challenges they are all confronted with when implementing development programmes in high-risk environments.
- Open courses: We carry out courses that are open to other member organisations in addition to our own staff. The FCM expert group has made available an e-learning course on Natural Resources and Conflict. The online course aims at providing understanding of the link between natural resources and conflict to its participants, as well as their overall effect on development. Besides, the course shall deliver understanding of the relationship between land, conflict and international action; how to analyse extractive industries with a prevention lens and how to design strategies and programmes to respond to situations where extractive industries are either a driving force, or a contributing factor, to violent conflict; how increasing pressures on renewable resources can lead to conflict and what we need to consider when designing a conflict prevention and natural resource management strategy.
- Learning material: We produce publications that can be consulted via the section resources. We developed, for example, a Summary Report of our Inter-Agency Workshop on Strengthening Donor Coordination in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Countries.
First hand impressions

Could it be a magic spell? Or possibly a potion of some kind? Or might it simply be the big statement that many Harry Potter followers have been wishin? Author JK Rowling has tweeted an anagram that has led lots of to guess that "Harry returns".
Nevertheless, there were also claims, sustained by Rowling herself, that the response has even more to do with a sequel including the imaginary 'magizoologist' Newt Scamander, writer of one of Harry's textbooks, Fantastic Beasts as well as Where to Find Them in the initial Potter publication.
On Monday early morning, Rowling posted the puzzle for fans to solve, just before teasing them with the message "something to contemplate while I'm away X".
"Cry, enemy! Run amok! Fa awry! My stick won't allow this rubbish." read her cryptic tweet. Conjecture soon began on websites such as Reddit and Twitter, with several fans seeing that the letters were an anagram of the expression: "Harry Returns! Won't state any sort of specifics now! A week off! No remark."
And, in a later tweet that included the hashtag "#helpfulhint", she composed: "The remedy is the first sentence of a synopsis of Newt's story. It isn't component of the script, but establishes the scene.".
Rowling called time on the Harry Potter series of books in 2007 after seven instalments. It generated on of the highest making movie collection of perpetuity, as well as the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter amusement park in Florida. The movies likewise introduced the occupations of actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint as well as Emma Watson.
She has actually provided few interviews and also is viewed as an enigmatic number because of this. She has additionally created under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. She remains a hugely well-liked amount to millions of followers and also is a benefactor, having reputedly given 160 million pounds Sterling to medical study, single mothers' charities and also various other reasons.
As well as she has not completely shied away from public life. She stated political obligations in the past, donating 1 million pound Sterling to the no project in the Scottish independence mandate and openly backing the Labour party, handing it a similar sum in 2008.
In a 2012 job interview with the BBC, she said: "We're in the middle of a significant, terrible, scary globe economic downturn. I merely assume now is a time for stability. As well as Scotland's doing excellent under devolution.
"I assume economically we're in a quite secure, audio problem. I would be directly very averse doing anything that destabilised that in the following couple of years.".

Evans supporting Chelsea
Manchester United defender Jonny Evans is hoping Chelsea can take points from Manchester City in Wednesday's clash.
Last Updated: 19/03/12 9:32pm
Manchester United defender Jonny Evans is hoping Chelsea can take points from Manchester City in Wednesday's clash.
The Red Devils moved four-points clear of Roberto Mancini's troops on Sunday with an emphatic 5-0 success over 10-man Wolves.
City have the chance to respond on Wednesday, however, an in-form Chelsea now stand in their way at the Etihad Stadium.
Roberto Di Matteo's squad have won four games on the bounce - including a remarkable UEFA Champions League U-turn against Napoli - and Evans hopes the Londoners can maintain their form.
"Wednesday is a massive game," commented Evans. "We have done our job and that does put pressure on City.
"Chelsea have had a couple of good victories so maybe their spirits will be up a little bit and they will go into Wednesday's game in pretty confident mood."
United's healthy victory over the weekend means they are just three goals behind City in the goal difference stakes and the defender knows that could be the deciding factor.
"The goal difference is a massive consideration," he continued.
"If you look ahead to the end of the season, the last thing you want to do is lose the league on goal difference.
"It is almost like another point at times and it would be a horrible way to lose the league if that was the case, so it is up to us to rectify it."

Go to Google Earth and type in "Noah's Ark National Park, Turkey."
What I find interesting about this is that it is not up high on the mountains as is so often default decided by so many "Experts" on the topic.
Again....how would one get so many non sure footed animals down the mountain from up on high without losing either the male or female and hence the entire species.
This is what caused me to think that it could not possibly be up on high atop the mountain and that so many "Experts" were deceiving so many about this.
On the lower slopes of the mountain...the non sure footed animals would have a better chance of survival.
In his book on this discovery...David Fasold "The Ark of Noah" Describes what they found at this site...and also further to describe how it was built..not as done in most movies and or at the Ark Park in Kentucky.
As the "Ultimate Prepper" Noah would be smart sufficient to know he could not just open the doors and let them walk out. He would have to keep and maintain them not only on the journey but also for a time when they had landed to insure their condition.
But Ancient man is not sufficiently intelligent without science to guide him in every endeavor...and hold his hand. Ancient men were not sufficiently scientific to take on such an journey.
Ancient man is not sufficiently intelligent to stock sufficient food and or medicines of the day for a prolonged journey as well as recovery. Not sufficiently intelligent to bring seeds with him. He would have to depend on science and GMO brands to sustain him..by executive decree.
On that site...Noah's Ark National Park, Turkey...you will find exactly that ...situated on the more gentle slopes of the mountain range called..."Ararat." The whole mountain range is called Ararat...in addition to the highest peak.
What surprised me some years ago when first I heard of this site...and discovery is that the Turkish government built a road and a tourist center to gain access to it.
This find matches the dimensions given in the Word of the Ark..even in it's collapsed state.

The general function of an alarm is to warn about any critical condition as life threatening danger or any critical environmental condition like building fire alarm etc. But in pharmaceutical manufacturing facility the requirement of audible alarm in critical equipments has its great importance because the change in temperature can affect the pharmaceutical product quality or it can alter the analysis results.
Since last few years regulatory authorities are also observing the alarming system for the critical equipments. This makes its more importance in pharmaceutical manufacturing environment. FDA has issued different 483s and warning letters due to lack of the alarms. For example A) "There was no data to demonstrate that the chamber alarm would perform as required in the event of a humidity excursion." B) "Alarms for out-of-temperature specification events of incubators, refrigerators and freezers are audible only in the vicinity of the equipment, and there is no system in place to notify employees of these alarms after hours or over the weekend."
ISPE guidelines for risk management have the implementation of alarming system in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In the equipments where the rising of temperature can affect the product quality, an alarming system must be implemented. FDA defined the requirement of alarms in "General Principles of Software Validation; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff"
An equipment alarm system should alert the responsible person and engineering by messaging during the non-working hours or weekends to ensure the rectification of the breakdown quickly.
A risk assessment should be done for the criticality of the alarm depending upon its effect on product quality. Failure of each alarm should be assessed for GMP criticality individually. GMP criticality 1 – contains the alarms those failure has a direct impact on the product quality, 2 – alarms those failure has impact on process or system but not directly on product quality while 3 – where alarm failure has no impact on product or system.
In current regulatory environment pharmaceutical companies should include the requirements of alarming system in their user requirement specification of the critical instruments to fulfill the cGMP requirements of the FDA and other regulatory agencies.

Fujifilm TCL-X100 teleconverter for X100/S samples gallery
The Fujifilm TCL-X100 is a screw-in teleconverter for the X100 and X100S which increases the effective focal length of their 23mm F2 lens to 50mm. We've been shooting with the TCL-X100 for a few days now, in a range of different situations and light levels to see how it performs in everyday use. Read on for our first impressions, and follow the links to see our sample images.

Experience with Fujifilm TCL-X100
By Barnaby Britton
I've been an X100 and X100S user for about three years now. There are many things that I appreciate about both cameras, but chiefly what keeps me coming back to them is their relatively small size, almost silent shutter and excellent, very sharp 35mm equivalent prime lens. I've played around with the WCL-X100 screw-in wide converter, which provides a 28mm (equivalent) field of view and while I've always been impressed by the minimal quality degradation, 28mm isn't useful enough to me that I attach it very often.
The design philosophy and operation of the TCL-X100 is exactly the same as the older WCL-X100, but rather than taking the effective focal length down, it increases it from 35mm to 50mm equivalent. This might seem like a relatively modest increase, but the difference between 35mm and 50mm is pretty significant for the sort of photos that the X100 and X100S do best - candid portraiture and street-type shooting.
Like the older WCL-X100 the TCL-X100 is attached by screwing it onto the front of the camera's lens, and in-camera geometric corrections are activated using a menu option. With the menu option activated, a small yellow symbol is also displayed in the viewfinder to remind you that the corrections are being applied but there is no electronic connection between the camera and TLC-X100 (so you'll need to remember to activate / deactivate the menu option when you attach or detach the lens).
With the converter attached, the X100S is instantly less discreet. The conversion lens really does add a lot of bulk to the front of the camera, and its huge, convex front element is hard to miss (and indeed hard to keep clean).
If you're a fan of the camera's optical viewfinder you'll find that the framelines are corrected for the longer effective focal length (assuming you've remembered to activate the menu option after downloading the latest X100 or X100S firmware) but the converter occludes the lower right-hand quadrant of the image area. The electronic viewfinder experience is, of course, unaffected.
In use, the TLC-X100 is pretty much trouble-free. Autofocus isn't quite as reliable when faced with low contrast subjects in poor light with the lens attached, but not to the extent that I found it seriously limiting. The only thing I found that I really needed to change was the maximum shutter speed threshold in the automatic ISO menu setting. I can safely hand-hold the X100/S at around 1/30sec without the TCL-X100 attached, but this is risky at an equivalent focal length of 50mm so I upped it to 1/60. If you habitually use automatic ISO, this is something you might want to address. If you don't, just stick to the '1 over focal length' rule when it comes to shutter speed and you'll probably be fine.
As far as image quality is concerned, the combination of an X100S and TCL-X100 is capable of truly impressive results. In fact, looking through my sample images, I would challenge anyone to guess that they'd been taken through a large, multi-element additional lens. That said, the X100/S tend to deliver somewhat hazy images at close focusing distances, and this is equally true when the TCL-X100 is attached. It's not an issue beyond around 1m, but at focus distances closer than this, sharpness does drop off progressively.
As I've already mentioned, the X100 and X100S apply some automatic geometric corrections to images when the menu option for the TCL-X100 is activated. This makes a big difference, especially to distortion. You'll see in the sample gallery that I've included a couple of images of our studio test scene to illustrate this point. Shot from ~2m distance, the uncorrected image shows pretty severe pincushion distortion, which you'll definitely notice in linear scene elements. As such, you're really going to want to remember to activate that TCL-X100 menu option. It's worth noting here that our sample gallery consists almost exclusively of converted raw files, run through ACR 8.4, which honors the geometric corrections applied in-camera to JPEG files.
There are 44 images in our samples gallery. Please do not reproduce any of these images on a website or any newsletter / magazine without prior permission (see our copyright page).

Fuji is making some great zoom lens, 18-55mm zoom on a X200 with OIS would be great, even leave the leaf sutter. Eighter push to be a true F2.8 or leave at F/2.8-4.It may not replace the X100s, but if some want to travel light or have a simple system, two cameras like this may have some only wanting , later on a better sensor.
nice review....It'd be nice if DPReview made a couple of raws available so folks could play with the sharpening/contrast/CA removal/whadever to do some personal evaluation.
Thanks, Mike
Bah! In what world is a 50mm a telephoto? I was thinking this was a 50/90 eq telephoto. Which I would surely love to have on my X100. But a 50 eq? In my world that's called a "Normal." Guess I'll be looking more seriously at the XE1 ...
To me, this converter as well as the wide angle one indicate that the demand is there for Fuji to focus on creating a wide aperture APS-C x200 or X30 with 1.5 sensor with a small 2-2.8 28-50 zoom. I've considered these converters, but after much thought I really don't see the point of carrying these around. Seems like they defeat the purpose and beauty of the x100x series in the first place. Perhaps it's just me, but if a want more flexibility in a small package, I'd probably just buy an X20 and hope that a future model has a larger sensor.
The converter will give a 50mm focal lenght, but still a 23mm depth of field??
It'll be just like using any other 35mm f2 lens on any other aps-c camera.
I bought the converter a week ago and can't take it off the camera: I love it!
The balance is completely fine, despite the added weight and it gives a whole new flavor to the X100s.
For sure, anybody owning a X100/s should seriously consider this converter.
I posted a few shots taken in various conditions here:
Some nice shots btw... thanks.
I was ready to buy an X-E1 and then I saw your post so I ended up buying a Black X100... Now I am going to to sell my Canon 50mm and put that money down for the beauty TCL :))
I hope you like it!
Completely agree. If you own an X100(s) this is almost a must-have.
Your photos are very nice. Much better than the DPR examples. Thanks for sharing.
Imaging Resources just tested the TCL-X100, and it got rave reviews. Similar to the WCL-X100, there is basically no image penalty, outside of software-corrected distortion. Fantastic work, Fuji.
This x100s is probably one of the nicest looking rangefinder camera out there.
yea but most of us understand what is meant by the comment
Nice gallery, but for some reason all portraits shot at ISO 400 not lower. Is there limit?
Without image stabilization and in changing light conditions I was shooting at DR200% and ISO 400 for extra dynamic range and safely high shutter speeds. The critical IQ difference between ISO 200 and 400 is minimal.
Since Fuji's APS-C cameras are based on Sony sensors with "ISOless" design, there's basically no relevant quality difference between analog ISO amplification and a digital ISO push (as applied by the DR function). Shooting portraits at DR200% and hence ISO 400 is perfectly okay and helps avoiding blown highlights on human skin.
I got it, combination of two = proper result. In terms of sharpness I can define/see sharpness better at lower ISO on portraiture than any other composition. I look at other camera sample galleries and in some I see portrait shots taken only at higher ISO which only show/define noise. I think to trow one or two portrait shots made at possibly lower ISO would be helpful.
Soft on the edges......
That wasn't my impression when I tested the TCL myself. I have uploaded a bunch of full-size samples to Flickr and didn't experience relevant softness at normal shooting distance. Here's the set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/25805910@N05/sets/72157644096667555/
Shooting as f/2 below 1 meter will always yield overall soft results, but that's common knowledge and even mentioned in the X100(S) owner's manual.
No, it is not soft on the edges... I bought it a week ago and it is certainly not!
I think some people get mixed up when the dof makes the edges actually out of focus. But when shooting with deep dof or if the edges are in the focus plane, there is no softness coming from the lens.
We, as consumers are never satisfied- but in this case I am glad I am not alone in my feelings about the 35mm (focal length) as "normal". Where my compacts have a zoom, I leave it at 50mm- where I am constrained to use a 35mm fl lens, I crop and hope for the best with the distortion. 35mm is best used with at least an
Disclaimer: I'm a hypocrite, because I've bought converters for compact cameras before.
Comment: If you're buying converter lenses for your compact or fixed-lens camera, isn't that telling you that you need/should have bought an interchangeable lens camera in the first place?
Not really. If you're primarily looking for a smaller sized camera with a fast 35mm f/2.0 lens and APS-C size sensor, I don't think there's an interchangeable lens option that can equal the x100s in terms of the combo of size, cost and image quality. A micro four thirds camera with the 17mm 1.8 would come close, but wouldn't give quite as much subject isolation (ie, "bokeh"), and (debatebly) wouldn't have as nice of image quality.
If you're the type who prefers a fast 35mm prime for most of your photography, it's nice to know you could pick up an x100/s to fulfill your basic needs in an ideal package, but still have options open for something wider or with more reach for those times you feel you need it.
In other words, if you think 90% of your shooting will be with a 35mm prime, but want to keep your options open for that other 10%, a x100/s and the teleconverters would be an excellent option.
Check the size/cost of the EOS-M+22mm f/2.
I guess so, but I've been down this road before, and pretty soon you have two converters, not one, a wide and a tele. And neither gives you the IQ that you'd want from a dedicated lens.
It's a workable solution, and I've certainly gotten some pictures that I like from setups like that, but it's not something I would buy into again.
If there was an ILC with the same specs as the X100 with a 35mm attached, then yes. So far we don't have anything that comes close without giving up a key feature... Built in hybrid viewfinder, leaf shutter, APSC sensor or compact size. I have an XP1 which is great, but doesn't in any way replace my X100 and WCL. It's larger, no built in flash, no high speed sync, has larger lenses, no leaf shutter and you can't compare the X100's size when you just need a 35mm.
The converters are simply a great way to expand on a high quality compact fixed lens camera without adding a lot of bulk or giving up some of the best features of the X100. Sure, there's a slight loss in quality and light, but I know from the WCL that it's undetectable and you don't have to fiddle with swapping lenses without a place to put one down or worry about getting dust on your sensor.
It depends on how you look at it.
Since the release of the converters, it can be seen as an alternative ILC.
With a few advantages for some shooters. A compact mirrorless APSc, with a pancake will in most cases, if not all, will be less compact, and the lens will not be of the same quality and probably not offer as usefull field of view. The x100:s can fit pocket in your jacket, or in a pouch, so it will be quickly within reach (like a bulky compact).
And it's much more convenient not to have to deal with two lenses when changing one for the other.
For those who got the camera and later the converters, it still depends on how they use it. For some they got the converters instead of investing in a new ILC, but had never planned for the x100 to replace that need. Or as a more compact holiday system.
If you mostly use the converter, well, then it wasn't the best product for you.
I was asking myself the same question, as I own the X100s with the two converters... but then I realized the following points:
- without converter, the X100s offers a pretty compact solution with super high IQ and fast lens
- the converters are not too expensive, especially if you compare with f2 equivalent lenses
- putting a converter on is much safer than changing an actual lens on a mirrorless (no dust risk), although in this case you have to remember to change the setting
- converters are pretty tough things, as there is no moving part. So even in the bag, you only ever have one thing to take care of: the camera body
There surely are other reasons, and I admit I am considering adding an ILC (X-T1?) to my setup. But even then, it would be an addition, not a replacement and the cameras could complement each other:
put the TCL on the X100s while the T1 bears the 10-24, or put the WCL when using a 50-200 zoom?
Anyway, the X100s system is terribly efficient and nice to use.
Nice, but never as beautiful as a dedicated 50mm lens.
All right, who dares to be the first manufacturer to make a compact camera with a fine, retracting 50mm lens? Or something around 40mm?
Film cameras were much more advanced / adventurous in this regard, with Contax T2 still being the king of the compact history's hill with its amazing 38mm Sonnar lens (IMHO, better than this Fuji's 35mm from X100).
It's not got a retracting lens but the sigma dp3m has a great 50mm f2.8 macro married to the foveon sensor which in good light is simply stunning and in bad light still delivers great BW images.
I would love to test this converter on the dp3m to get a longer focal length for headshots.
Yes, Sigma is very nice, but still biggish. Definitely not compact.
This lens looks beautiful to me. See here:
why never as beautiful?
you shouldn't rely too much on principles when judging a camera.
I am not sure you could see any flaw in this converter's IQ compared to similar or even higher priced models.
I have it and it is an amazing lens.
The images look slightly bleached and lacking contrast. From my personal exprience, converters tend to do this. It's a great idea on paper, but the results aren't that good.
@ Jahled - I'm sorry you think that, and interested in hearing your suggestions for what would have made (and in the future what would make) a more useful gallery for you.
The samples look just fine to me. Remember we're looking at x100s RAW files processed using defaults in ACR, so you can't expect really punchy colors or high contrast. You will get images like this with or without the converter.
Like lenses, there are good and bad converters out there. One of the reasons Fuji's converters are so expensive is that they are absolutely fantastic (assuming that the Tele is of similar quality as the wide angle). I've been using the wide angle converter for awhile now and there is no noticeable loss of light or IQ even with heavy pixel peeping. I was also skeptical at first, but once I tried the WCL, I was convinced.
Hey Barney, a tricky one to reply to as I don't want to seem arrogant or to be flaming. But come on, a kid's trowel on a plant pot; it just looks meh, and most of the rest of those photographs look like like someone whipped out their phone on a Sunday walk whilst having a conversation with someone at the same time. If you are going to review products at least put some effort into it. We all have lazy days with a camera, but if you're really stuck give it to some photography students or something, i'm sure they'll push what you could potentially get out of that, which to be honest given the horrible contrast isn't going to be much given there is simply no punch coming out of any of those.
@Jahled - to be fair (to me) this wasn't a review and I did produce the images on my own time, over a weekend, while also working on another camera. But I'll try harder next time ;)
You can check another set of images I did here:
I bought the converter a week ago, but I am just a photo-amateur, so don't be too harsh on the judgement!
Anyway, I didn't notice any decrease in colors quality.
I don't think the shots were bad. IMO you were using the converter in a very diverse situation range and it is good that you did that.
However, the converter is still pretty bad. The photos do look indeed hazy.
I cannot understand why 35mm (focal length) has become the new "normal" for street photography. I have had tremendous trouble in adapting. 50mm has always been my normal because I shot that way for most of my life. There is an indication in the article that the author agrees. (PS samples-IQ good but not great). VRR
There certainly is a huge difference between shooting 35 and 50 on the street. 35 is much more difficult to shoot with, in my opinion. In close quarters and while doing documentary type work I prefer 35, but on the street 50 makes more sense.
Wish they'd make an X100 variant with a 50 equivalent and not a big ol' adapter.
There is always a misconception that a 35mm or 50mm lens is most suitable for street photography. Through my experience, it all depends what one is shooting. This may be true in the old days when quality zooms are not available. More important, the camera must be reasonably compact for ease of carrying around and does not attract too much attention. In this case, a compact zoom like the Canon G1X Mk2 may be more useful. Sometimes, one may need a bit more reach to capture fleeting moments across the street. In this case, a constant aperture compact zoom like the Oly Stylus 1 may be a better choice.
Most important, the camera of choice in hand must be able to get the job done.
This is an large-sensor-compact, so in development they were probably aiming at making it as general purpose as possible. Keep in mind that it's not always possible to back off the subject enough, and having too much of a tele then, will restrict you from taking certain photos.
But sure, there is probably a market for fixed lens cameras at about 50mm as well.
But 35mm is more general, when putting it on a camera too compact for zoom. And it feels closer to the field of view for a single eye, so framing feels more natural to some, I guess.
Or perhaps manefacteurs will come up with ingenious ways of making large-sensor-compact-street-zooms, that offer limited zoom in the range of about 30 to about 50, but at the size of current 35mm fixed lens compacts.
vroger1: neither do I. Henri Cartier-Bresson used to shoot with a normal, 50mm lens. Just when someone decided 35mm was the thing for street photography I don't know; all I know is that you have to get too close to people when using 35mm. Which can be awkward at times.
At least 35mm offers some flexibility when creating converters, although I doubt Fuji had that in mind when they designed the X100. They could create both the WCL and the TCL, to make a pretty nice setup.
But I agree that the 50mm focal is really great: I can't take off my TCL since I bought it a week ago!
It seems to me that the 35mm focal is useful when doing semi-portraits, including a large part of the background. But yes, it isn't very easy to use (although I see many great pictures taken in 35mm)
check Japanese resellers: maybe some of them can ship overseas?
Anyway, I am pretty happy to live in Japan: I got mine last week already!
Woult it be possible to have one portrait at F/2 and base ISO ?
It is what I would typically buy the lens for (portrait bc the 35mm eq. is too wide and that that would my reason to buy the teleconverter, f/2 bc I want background blur and base ISO to see sharpness).
Look here..this gentlemen use tcl on his latest work
Nice background separation IMHO
Thank you very much for the small review of the TCL-X100.
I had a closer look to your sample gallery and in my opinion
your sample exhibits a slight centering defect. The left side
of your images look sometimes much softer than on the
right. Maybe this is already due to a weak X100s lens. Do you
have more information about it?
Cool feature if you already own the camera, but not really worth buying the camera for it. A real interchangeable lens camera is better and most m43/APSC mirrorless cameras are probably smaller with a 35 and 50mm lens attached.
No it isn't. You can hardly make a detachable 23mm lens of the size of X100's lens — just look how big is the Leica's Summarit T 2/23.
What happens with the automatic geometric corrections when you shoot in RAW, are they also applied? And - what happens if you use the correction possibilities od Adobe Lightroom? The X100s is already in the camera/lens-list of the latest Lightroom version, but I guess it doesn´t care if you have the wide- oder tele-converter attached.
As noted in the text above, Adobe interprets and applies the in-camera corrections to Raw files when converted in ACR.
It depends on the RAW converter. Some interpret the lens correction metadata, some interpret PART of the lens correction metadata, some don't interpret the metadata at all. However, even those that do interpret the metadata sometimes do so differently, so the results don't always match.
Thanks for this useful overview Barney. I found the photo of the converter mounted on the camera useful as it gives me a good idea of the proportions. I'm thinking it might be useful to put a Canon / Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens next to it though, to give a sense of scale (I suspect the whole package is still fairly compact compared to an SLR with a 50mm prime).
Anyone knows what happens to the f stop when you attach the tele-converter? Presumably you don't get something for free? thx
It's not magnifying or diffusing the light so there is no aperture change. It basically adds elements to make a more complex composite lens. The new elements are built with f2 in mind.
It's not going to be as good a lens as a dedicated 50mm would be but it's not just a simple adapter either. There's a lot of multi-element glass in there to project a 50mm imagine into the 23mm lens.
The drawback? It can't be any better than the 23mm because it's still USING the 23mm. It will only be worse. That, and you have to basically make an entire lens to put in front of an entire lens. Two full lenses purchased and mounted to act as one. Money and weight.
No impact at all. The converter is extremely bright (see that huge eye in the front?).
