In Los Angeles it's hard to cypher through the talented and the unfortunately talentless. Everyone claims to have the skills to make it to the big time, but let's be honest, in this day and age everyone thinks they can DJ. This is not the case for LA's newest young talent Agendas, who is a producer/ singer/ drummer/ guitarist/etc. The artist, formerly known as Jake Weary, has proven through his eclectic and exciting sound that he is a truly talented musician. Hailing from Montclair, New Jersey, Agendas has been working hard to produce top notch tunes. He released his self titled EP in April 2011. Yes, he is from New Jersey but before your mind wanders to the Jersey Shore buffoons, think twice, you won't be seeing a bundle of Bros obnoxiously fist pumping on the dance floor. This artist keeps his beats classy.
Recently Agendas lent his vocals to the ever-so cool DJ Groundislava for his latest Friends of Friends LP. Agendas is not only a mastermind behind the computer screen, but is the drummer for the art punk band NAR, whose badass lead singer, Natasha Roozrokh has opened for the likes of Justice, Peaches, MGMT, Beck, Warpaint, No Age, Rilo Kiley and Jenny Lewis. Agendas is a genre defying artist and currently signed with I Versus Eye (IvsEye). He lives in Downtown Los Angeles with his dog Lilu, who is a constant source of entertainment and inspiration.
We were lucky enough to sit down and talk with Agendas about his upcoming LP, his sound and what its like to be a musician in Los Angeles.
JB: You have been making music since you were 12-years-old, how has your music progressed from then to where you are now?
Agendas: Haha wow...Well the first song I ever made was recorded through the first version of iMovie and it was a hip hop track. My MC name was Lil Mickey. So yeah I'd say its changed a lot.
JB: Hopefully Lil Mickey will resurface one day. Recently you've switched your pseudonym to Agendas. Why Agendas and what inspired the name change?
Agendas: Last year I hit a creative wall and for some reason I wasn't making as much music as I should have. I was grinding a little more on my acting career at the time and I think that's probably what caused it. It was an awful feeling! That urge to create just wasn't there. Then summer came and I wasn't acting as much, moved Downtown, basically got my shit together and made a 5 song EP in a week. I made a new song everyday. It all sort of spewed out of me. That release manifested itself into "Agendas." The name change at the time was my lame attempt at reinventing myself and disassociating my double life. But I guess it kind of stuck.
JB: What musical projects are you currently involved with?
Agendas: I play drums for a punk/reggae/hiphop/kind of a little bit of everything band called NAR. It's Natasha Roozrock's project, she's from LA and a total badass. I've also been working a lot with some of the other I Versus Eye artists K. Rudd and Somewhere Else in particular and they're all fucking incredible musicians and writers, it's beyond me. I've also been collaborating a bunch with former classmate and great friend of mine Jasper Patterson a.k.a Groundislava and we're thinking of doing another little side project for this summer.
JB: Tell us about I Versus Eye and what it is you and the self-proclaimed "lifestyle producers" do.
Agendas: Hmm…lifestyle producers [laughs]. I versus Eye, in a nutshell, is basically just a collective of really talented dudes that are constantly finding new ways to collaborate and release content that doesn't suck. They produce everything from music to film to graphic design to fucking skate videos. We're all exploiting each other as much as possible. Everyone in the crew is multi-talented too, its crazy like each artist could potentially produce all of their own shit themselves not to mention shoot and edit their own music videos if they had too. But that's why it all works out. We make each other's jobs a lot easier.
JB: You are born and raised a Jersey Boy, how is it living and working in Los Angeles? Ever miss that Jersey air?
Agendas: It's tough 'cause as much as I love being in LA, all of my family is back in NJ, and it's definitely not the cheapest plane ticket. I try to fly back as much as I can. I feel more inspired than ever when I come back to LA after a long trip back home. It's like a small dose of reality. I think I've written some of my favorite songs while at home with friends and family. Good times.
JB: What has been your most rewarding show so far in your career?
Agendas: I played this last minute show one time at Pitzer College in Claremont CA about 2 years ago. I literally threw a little band together a week before the show. I was supposed to play 4 songs with the band followed by a little DJ set after, but my best friend accidentally dropped and broke my computer before I was supposed to go on stage. I was a little pissed at first but I was like 'fuck it' and we got on stage and played the longest 4 song set EVER. It was a fuckin party! I'm a performer at heart, and I'd take rocking out with a band over twisting knobs behind a table any day.
JB: What do we have to look forward to from your newest LP?
Agendas: I have about 15 to 20 new songs that I've been working on for the past year. It's been so hard trying to keep myself from writing more. So I've been trying my best to hone on these as much as I can. I'm planning on putting out a 5 song EP in the next month or so, then my first full length this summer. So look out for that.
JB: Recently you did an amazing cover of "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)" by the Talking Heads, any other songs you'd like to rework?
Agendas: I'm not a big fan of doing covers for some reason. It's funny I've actually tried recreating "Naive Melody" multiple times in the past 4 years and this strangely enough was the first one I was okay with putting out there for people to hear. I have this "Turn to Stone" cover by ELO that I started working on a couple years ago that I really want to to try and find. So if I find it… that'll be the next one.
JB: Any dream collaborations?
Agendas: Yukimi Nagano
JB: Hell Yeah! Your music spans across all genres, is it important to follow one particular sound?
Agendas: I don't know. I definitely think it's important to know from the get go what kind of message or feeling your trying to convey with your music. But a lot of my favorite artists are the ones that are constantly coming out with different shit. It irks me when people are like "Ehhhhh I used to like this band, but now their music is weird." It's okay if your fan base changes over time, music is supposed to evolve.

The Mill has recently been restored, and was christened by its first guests as "the wow factory." With rooms on four levels, it will accommodate up to 14 adults, and up to 22 guests in total, in real style and luxury.
The main feature is the open plan 80m2 ground floor reception area which opens up from a fabulous kitchen, through the dining area with vaulted ceiling, into a generous living/lounging area with open fireplace. The dining and lounge areas feature the original exposed stone wall and light floods through a large glass archway incorporating the main house entrance into the courtyard.
All the reception areas on ground and mezzanine levels are tiled in a natural riven slate that goes beautifully with the old stone walls and new white plaster walls, with underfloor heating throughout the house provided by an environmentally sustainable ground source heat pump. The stone fireplace features the saw bench from the original mill, as the mantelpiece. Some of the bedrooms have quite quirky layouts and they are generally smaller than the bedrooms in the other properties within the estate. However, they all have the same quality of goose-down feather pillow and duvet, the same gorgeous linen and the same quality of mattresses!
A river runs thorugh the grounds and facilities include a shared indoor swimming pool and a tennis court (although both of these can be privatised for certain hours in the day). Two other properties are located within the estate but both are entirely independent so your group will have utmost privacy.
The large stylish contemporary kitchen area features a granite work surface throughout, twin stainless steel sinks and two dishwashers, two electric ovens, a large American style fridge freezer, and gadgets galore. There's a kitchen table for eight – expandable to sit a comfortable 12 – and a breakfast bar for up to six. The separate utility room features washing machine and drier, an additional large fridge and freezer, and extra storage. As well as the stunning main open plan reception area, the ground floor also features a utility room, a loo, and a separate TV room-cum-play room with 42 inch flat screen LCD TV with full Sky plus package; this room has its own access to the garden and to a sandstone terrace facing the river. An additional South-facing sitting room on the mezzanine floor gives access through a pair of french doors onto another terrace with garden furniture and to the private rear garden, river and woods. Guests also have access to a separate games cottage with snooker, darts and table tennis, shared with Argyll Barn.
There are nine bedrooms altogether, each offering double or twin accommodation. The bedroom layout makes the most of the available space to maximize the number of guests we can accommodate, so while none of the rooms are enormous, four of them have either additional bunks or fold-away beds to increase the overall capacity to 22 including children. The six main bedrooms all have stylish contemporary wash-handbasins. Four bedrooms feature raised platform beds with storage underneath. There are three stunning bathrooms, with wall to wall travertine marble walls and slate floors, two of which feature jacuzzi baths, and a separate sauna.
We also have an indoor heated swimming pool that is shared between the three houses on the estate. Each house gets their own hour of exclusive swimming time in the morning and in the afternoon – outside those six hours, it is a "free for all" in the pool. The same rules apply for the tennis court within the estate.
Set amidst the 20 acres of woodland, and enjoying lovely views across the glen and up the mountain, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn and terrace with hydrangeas, rhodedendron and azalea, as well as reputedly the tallest Grecian fir in Scotland. Our own woods feature numerous tree species and adjoin thousands of acres of forestry commission land through which guests are welcome to wander. One of our terraces features a Grade A listed sundial. A tributary of the river Ruel runs through the gardens, from the Lochen that supplies our private water supply. There is a lovely waterfall walk within the garden, and a rope-assisted climb down to a pool for outdoor bathing. It's a fabulous location for kids.
*Please note, locations shown on the maps are approximations only
Although just an hour and a half from Glasgow, the house sits in some of the loveliest scenery in Scotland. The Kyles of Bute are renowned amongst both walkers and sailors as amongst the most stunning bits of coast in Scotland. Whatever the weather in Argyll – and we do enjoy a remarkably mild micro-climate - this is great country for site seeing, with every corner revealing a new variation on the theme of mountain, loch, valley, sky, woodland, sea, rock, beach. The Cowal peninsula is a fabulous base for an active holiday with marvellous wildlife, numerous gardens and other tourist attractions to visit, and all sporting activities catered for.
The house has grounds of 23 acres, and sits about a mile above the head of Loch Riddon, enjoying complete privacy and lovely views down the glen to the river Ruel. The Island of Bute itself is as little as 15 minutes away from the house – accessed via a ferry from Colintraive – and was a "must visit" destination long before Stella McCartney got married there or former racing driver Johnnie Dumfries moved into Mount Stuart House as the new Marquess of Bute.
Inverary with its famous Jail and Castle, seat of Clan Campbell for the last few hundred years, is only 45 minutes away, as is Loch Lomond. Dunoon is another tourist destination in its own right, and just under half an hour away. You can get to Glen Coe in an hour and a half, to Stirling, Oban or Fort William in under two. Loch Ness and Edinburgh are easy enough day trips – reachable in less than 2 and a half hours.
As well as general site-seeing and trips to the Island of Bute, Inverary and further afield, there are a host of other activities you can undertake around Glenaruel. It's fabulous walking country and we've also provided twelve mountain bikes for those who want to explore on two wheels rather than four. There are some really excellent and quite varied routes direct from the house, involving all sorts of terrain and levels of strain!
Golf – there's a lovely 9 hole pay and play course ten minutes away above Tighnabruaich. We've supplied five bags of golf clubs for the house and they probably won't be too fussed about the usual rules re golf shoes provided you don't arrive in jeans and carve the course up. The same applies to the almost equally spectacular nine hole course at Blairmore & Strone, half an hour away. Cowal Golf Club at Dunoon and Inellan are the 18 hole courses in the area that welcome visitors.
Fishing - too many options to go into here, but you can spend anything from £9 per day to over £1,000 for river fishing in the area. You can fish for trout in our own stream for nothing or in the Lochen at the head of the river. Mackerel on a line in a boat on the Kyles is a right of passage for hundreds of West of Scotland kids every year. They swim in shoals all around these waters – the mackerel, not the kids - and there's no permit payable.
It's a fabulous part of the world for water-sports of all sorts. Horse-riding, climbing, canoeing, caving, archery, quad biking, paint-balling, and clay pigeon shooting are also all available either on site or in the area. It's not our thing, and the house ain't full of antlers, but we can help you arrange a day's grouse or pheasant shooting, or stalking in season, if some of your party want to do that.
There is a wee shop selling all the basics at the camp-site in the Glendaruel valley, about a mile's walk away, beside the historic Kilmodan standing stones. You get a slightly bigger choice in the Spar at Tighnabruich five miles away, and all year round opening. Dunoon is 16 miles away and is a thriving market / harbour town with award-winning bakeries, cafes and butchers, as well as a big Co-Op and a big Somerfield supermarket.
Scotland isn't really well served by pubs in general; this area is definitely an exception. The Glendaruel Hotel is a lovely wee pub, a two mile drive away – or about a mile and a quarter as the crow staggers – and serves good pub grub or better. The Colintraive Hotel and Tighnabruich Hotel are each a tad busier and a tad more ambitious in terms of menu. Chatters in Dunoon is highly recommended, and the Whistlefield and Coylet Inns on Loch Eck are also worth a visit. Our favourite restaurant in the entire universe is on Loch Fyne, overlooking the old Castle Lachlan. (The view from the Inver Cottage terrace is one of the Robbie Innes pictures on our drawing room wall.) It's less than half an hour away from the house. The Benmore Gardens tea room is not half bad, either, and the Otterferry Inn and Loch Fyne Oyster Bar have good reputations (on which, it might be said, they trade slightly) All in all, though, there are few areas of Scotland where you can enjoy such a variety of excellent, reasonably priced menus.
The house is available on a self-catering or fully-catered basis – or something in between. Most of the weekend parties are for big celebrations - and not everyone (even with a four oven Aga and an additional stove at their disposal) wants to take on the task of cooking for 30 of their nearest and dearest. So we are delighted to have been able to recruit Roger and Bea McKie (formerly of An Lochan and now co-proprietors of Taste Scotland) as the contracted caterers. From a wedding breakfast for 150, through a formal four course dinner for 24, to a serve it yourself home-cooked fish pie, from a buffet, to a picnic, to a barbecue, they can offer up a menu to suit at a budget that works for you.
When catering a dinner for you, as a one-off, the taste team will always leave you with some delicious fresh made bread and a vat or two of homemade soup for lunch the next day – along with your left overs. It's a lovely touch, and effectively means that you've got two meals for the price of one! The default setting for the house is still self-catering but if you prefer, then Roger and Bea can work for you as live-in caterers during some or all of your stay. They can be accommodated either in one of the en suite bedrooms, in the wee Garden cottage we are renovating in early 2010, or in a local B&B.
The financial arrangements are between yourselves and the caterers, and they will design a menu or series of menus for you that works to your budget. Ingredients costs obviously vary by season and do make it difficult for us to give you a price now for a meal in a few months time. Depending on the style you want to go for and on your budget - on whether you want silver service on the night, on how much of the caterers' time you need, and on what sort of ingredients you specify, you could be talking as little as £9.95 per head for a two course meal from their fresh-cooked serve it yourself "Home Taste" menu exclusive to our customers – or four or five times that per head if you have a serious langoustine or fois gras habit.
On a live-in basis, you need to budget £175 per day per chef, dropping to £850 for the full week, plus the cost of ingredients. They'll agree menu plans with you and then cook you breakfast, provide pack/picnic lunch ingredients and feed children and adults separately in the evening for that. If the big house is at full capacity and you don't want any involvement in the prep or clearing up, then you need two members of staff. If you are talking about a party of under 20 guests, then it may be possible for a single chef to look after your party.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Inter-fuel Substitution - Coal to Liquids
Of course, high oil and gas prices do not solely impact on power generation, but raise credible economic possibilities for inter-fuel substitution. Oil provides 35% of global energy consumption and more oil is used today than ever before.
Demand for oil will continue to grow, primarily owing to rapid growth in vehicle ownership in developing nations. Energy security concerns in the oil sector are increasing, owing to questions of resource availability, supply security, political instability and infrastructure difficulties. Oil prices are expected to remain high.
The development of a coal-to-liquids (CTL) industry can serve as a hedge against oil-related energy security risks, minimising exposure to oil price volatility and foreign currency risk, while providing the liquid fuels needed for economic growth. CTL can provide ultra-clean fuels for transport, domestic use and power generation, while the use of carbon capture and storage can minimise greenhouse gas emissions from the production process.
Production of liquid fuels from coal has been carried out in South Africa since the 1950s and is now undertaken on a commercial, non-subsidised basis.
Projects are under way and planned in several countries around the world - perhaps not surprisingly, countries which have large indigenous coal reserves but import substantial amounts of oil. The USA and China have projects in operation, while South Africa is reportedly considering an expansion of its production. Monash Energy is planning a new project in south-eastern Australia which will use the local brown coal as a feedstock. The CO2 emissions will be piped for enhanced oil recovery in the Bass Strait. Serious interest has been shown in projects in Indonesia, India and Germany.

Hofstra Helps Teachers Tackle a Tough Job Market
Hofstra Hosts "Reinvent Yourself: Exploring Alternative Career Opportunities for Educators", on July 7, 2011
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY – With local school districts planning significant job cuts to close budget gaps, Hofstra University is offering a one-day conference to help teachers who have been laid-off market their skills in new fields.
The conference, "Reinvent Yourself: Exploring Alternative Career Opportunities for Educators", will be held Thursday, July 7, 2011 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The conference will begin in the Multipurpose Room, Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center, North Campus, with breakout sessions planned in various locations on North and South Campus. Registration is $25 per person, which includes lunch. To register, or see the full schedule, go to www.hofstra.edu/reinvent.
Experts in education, government and private industry, along with faculty and administrators from Hofstra's School of Education, Health and Human Services, will provide a mix of professional, personal and practical advice for educators who have been recently laid-off, or the newly-graduated who are struggling to find teaching jobs. Hofstra's Career Center and Graduate Admissions staff will also be on hand.
The sessions will address job trends -- including fields in which educators' skills fit well, offer advice on how to stay motivated in a tough job market, and provide tips for putting together a standout resume and acing job interviews.
"Educators possess a strong skill set that is required in many other careers, said Donna Levinson, Assistant Dean of External Relations for the School of Education, Health and Human Services at Hofstra University. "Our goal by offering this conference is to help those who suddenly find themselves unemployed due to budget cutbacks by school districts and those newly graduated educators who have been unable to secure a first teaching position information on where to find new opportunities and alternative career choices that are applicable to their training and skills."
A recent survey by Newsday found that across Long Island, school districts plan to cut more than 2,000 jobs – including 1,200-plus teachers, to absorb heavy losses in state school aid. The job losses are the worst in Long Island schools in 20 years. The picture is bleaker in New York City, which plans to lay off more than 4,000 teachers.
The current climate makes it imperative for teachers to figure out how their skills translate outside the classroom, said Suzanne Dagger, Hofstra's Director of Career Services.
"Teachers tend to see themselves as just that, teachers," Dagger said. "However, our educators have a wealth of skills to offer employers in many industries. Our teachers can retool their outlook and their job search strategies and find a multitude of employers searching for candidates with their experiences and skills."
The conference is co-sponsored by the School of Education, Health and Human Services, the Office for Development and Alumni Affairs, the office of Graduate Admissions and the Career Center.
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution where students can choose from about 140 undergraduate and more than 150 graduate programs in liberal arts and sciences, business; engineering; communication; education, health and human services; and honors studies, as well as a School of Law and the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine. The University also provides excellent facilities with state-of-the-art technology, extensive library resources and internship programs that match students' interests and abilities with appropriate companies and organizations. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future.

Program focus
The Graduate Diploma in Teaching is focussed on allowing its graduates to complete a pre-service teacher education qualification which may satisfy the requirements for qualified teacher status, or equivalent, in a range of jurisdictions around the world. Importantly, however, this program's graduates will not be required to undertake a professional experience placement in an Australian school and hence will not be eligible for registration as a teacher with the Queensland College of Teachers. The focus of this program is on graduating global educators for contemporary learning communities. Thus the program's purpose relates to working with its students to develop a global perspective, a futures orientation and a commitment to contributing to communities of learning. In this sense, pre-service education is only one stage in on-going professional learning. The program is also focussed on graduating students who demonstrate a number of attributes critical for success in the work of contemporary educators:
A commitment to critical reflection on changing teaching and learning contexts (and the willingness and capacity to act and respond in professionally appropriate ways);
A solid foundation of knowledge and understanding of contemporary pedagogy and curriculum (and the willingness and capacity to adapt this to particular educational contexts);
Skills in a range of approaches to the management of complex learning environments (and the willingness and capacity to adapt this to particular educational contexts);
A willingness and commitment to establish and maintain positive relationships with other participants in the educational process (and the awareness and sensitivity to engage in such relationships in culturally-appropriate ways); and
A commitment to ethical practice (and to professional self-renewal through purposeful, continual professional learning).
Students in the Graduate Diploma in Teaching prepare for work as a teacher in one of three sectors: Primary Schooling, Middle Years of School, and Secondary Schooling.
Career opportunities
Completion of this program does not satisfy the academic requirements for registration as a teacher in Queensland. However, students who complete the Graduate Diploma in Teaching program will be well qualified for employment as teachers in schools in many jurisdictions, as well as in a range of alternative education settings.
Other career opportunities exist in the many emerging fields where the teaching-related skills of communication and educational management are critical, in conjunction with the appropriate specific discipline knowledge. Examples of such careers include sport and leisure centre management, personal training, life coaching and human services.
There are further career opportunities available in industry, particularly in the roles and functions related to training.

What the hell. Noktor is back! And allied with SLRmagic??? (+ Noktor on eBay)
Suprise! Last week Noktor announced that they went out of business. But today they sent a new twitter message. Also their website is back online. My speculation is that SLRmagic will take over the Noktor business. And one more news. You can now find one Noktor lens (Number 0026) on eBay (Click here).
Who is SLRmagic? A chinese company (Hong Kong) that currently offers manual, cheap and not high quality lenses. They have the (only) advantage that you can use them without the use of any adapter:
35mm f/1.7 (Click here to see that lens on eBay).
26mm f/1.4 (Click here to see that lens on eBay).
Via Photorumors
The common thing they both share is, they rebrand cheap quality lens and make them expensive in price. That's all.
I wouldn't call the SLE magic lenses "not high quality". I've shot with the 35 1.7 and alot of pros couldn't believe it wasn't pro glass.
I have the SLR Magic lens as well and I love it! Most of the shots my friends thought were good was by their 35mm 1.7 and i can only speak for their great customer service. the Noktor was never in stock the past 2 years. hope this is about to change!
Their lenses are much welcomed to the system! They do the retooling and we do the shooting. Life is short…you know?
I have the 35mm f1.7 and its great if your subject stays in the middle of the frame. It looks nice when you're shooting people or plants because the corners are blurred but good luck shooting groups of people or landscapes with that. That said, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg and there is a time and place for it so its not all bad. I hope the Noktor is closer to SLR Magic prices, then I might actually consider it. The original price was just too much for me.
0.95 cant be done for cheap…go get yourself an xray lens if you want cheap but i suggest you get the hyperprime instead as xray lens has terrible coating and no aperture blades and weighs a ton
Anyone know what the limit is in terms of aperture when dealing with digital camera sensors because there must be a limit where all that extra light literally melts the sensor?
f0.125 lens that you can't point at any light source would be an excellent idea to bring out and sell to people obsessed with fast lenses…
I'm surprised they didn't change the name to:
LeikaI agree with you Kolen. And I wouldn't trust any company (Noktor) whose chosen name is too deceive people.
Noct-Nikkor and Noctilux are here to deceive people as well you are suggesting? stay away from nikon and leica as they sound so similar! Noktor is just another name. i do not like lumix too much either as i sounds like the luna or the moon. a name is just a name. i would get any camera or lens if its good in specs
The 35/1.7 and 26/1.4 (which actually 25/1.4) are worth only US$30 with mount if you buy it yourself from the CCTV equipment retailer. I think SLR is not as rip off as Noktor. when people more realize what was those c-mount CCTV lens, the value goes down. which are totally market driven.
Even though some people here are so supportive to those SLR or Noktor, I really doubt whose they are…. are they from…..? -
admin we got it
you got a free lens from them but enough is enough
stop pumping these useless companies that even doesnt have a real website-
You're being unfair to admin George. This posted rumor starts out with "what the hell" and then goes on to describe SLRMagic as a Hong Kong ebayer. He also says that these lenses are of a low quality and that the only advantage to them is that you don't need to use an adapter. What is your problem? The only thing that I might have added in this rumor is that they're unsuitable for still photography unless you just want the center of the image to look reasonably sharp but everyone must know that by now IMO.
I'm sorry but I'm with George on this one.
How dare 43rumors.com report news about 43 lenses..? This is obviously corruption and bribery at work. For that matter, I think Admin was out of line reporting the release of the Panasonic G3 – clearly they were bribed.
Completely agree. And I bet he's right now testing the new Nokton Magic 70mm F0.85 MSC OIS lens on a payed vacation in the Maldives – just for posting this.
probably testing a rebranded kowa f0.75 but that lens is no good.
im still wondering if we will see any Noktor lens this time. i doubt hardly any were manufactured during the pre-order. sounds like they have a plan. i for one is on the wait list for the Noktor. Does anyone know if we need to sign up again?
I like the look of this 35mm 1.7 small light and cheap will put it on my list
More options are always a good thing! I considered the SLR Magic lenses but decided to save ~$50 by buying a generic 25mm f/1.2 with cmount to m4/3 adaptor (and macro ring) off eBay. Very quirky, and not a pro lens by any stretch of the imagination, but not bad for $50! I've already gotten my money's worth out of it… Best of all it makes my GH1 a very viable "walk around" cam for times when I'm not devoted to shooting.
Great job on the site Admin. Keep it up!
same ol'but thank to the admin for posting the news anyway.

VLC media player is a multimedia player, framework, streamer, and encoder. It can play inputs like files, network streams, DVDs, audio CDs, Blu-Rays, capture devices, and screens. It can play most audio and video codecs and formats (MPEG 1/2/4, H264, VC-1, DivX, WMV, Vorbis, AC3, AAC, MKV, etc.), but can also be used to convert to different formats and/or send streams through the network.
123 Flash Chat Server is a full-featured chat server for high-load Web sites. It features a range of customization options, and can be smoothly integrated with the database of almost all leading CMS or forum systems including Joomla!, phpBB, skadate, and vBulletin. It includes plain text chat and video chat options, and is scalable enough to fit the needs of small business and large enterprises. A free 10-user edition is available. It's based on a Java server and a Flash client, but also has various alternative clients based on technologies such as HTML/AJAX, so it can run on many platforms, including iPhone and iPad. It features avatars, smilies, Flash emotions, voice messages, entering multiple rooms, dynamic skins, loading external avatars and profiles, and a media player. The HTML 5 client significantly improves the chat performance in terms of loading speed, video layout, and user interface.

It has basic VCD/DVD playback functionality, including DVD subtitles, but supports many text-based subtitle formats too. For video output, nearly every existing interface is supported. It's also able to convert any supported files to raw/divx/mpeg4 AVI (pcm/mp3 audio), and even video grabbing from V4L devices.
Movgrab is a command-line movie downloader for sites like YouTube. It has no dependencies; everything that's needed should be there in the tar.gz package. Movgrab can connect through an HTTP proxy, can output the download to stdout for piping into another program, and can fork into the background to free up the console. When forked into the background, its progress can still be seen in a ps list.
pHash is an implementation of various perceptual hashing algorithms. A perceptual hash is a fingerprint of a multimedia file derived from various features from its content. Unlike cryptographic hash functions that rely on the avalanche effect of small changes in input leading to drastic changes in the output, perceptual hashes are "close" to one another if the features are similar. Potential applications include copyright protection, similarity searches for media files, or even digital forensics.
HeldenViewer makes it possible to search for, download, and view Youtube videos in a very easy to use fashion. An important feature is the concept of adding authors as favorites, in order to be notified at the next start of HeldenViewer if the author has uploaded a new video. You will no longer be interrupted by any commercials. Much like the Youtube platform, you can watch the videos while downloading and use your favorite videoplayer to do this. The only restriction is that the video player must be able to play .flv files, e.g. VideoLanClient.
Kdenlive is a non-linear video editor for KDE. It provides all project management and editing tools while relying on a separate rendering framework (currently MLT/FFmpeg) to perform the editing operations. Kdenlive provides dual video monitors, a multi-track timeline, and clip list. Other features include customizable layout support, basic effects and transitions, multiple file formats, and full project and asset management support. Editing in Kdenlive is possible with various tools via the timeline and video monitors, allowing you to move and resize one or more clips, and razor clips into two. All timeline tools can snap to clip start/ends and the current seek position. You may playback/preview the contents of the timeline at any point during the edit. Kdenlive communicates with a render engine which handles the actual video data.

5 marathons in 5 days .. 132 miles of waddling from Ilfracombe to Bulford in 5 days with the most incredible, selfless, inspiring bunch of people.
This chunky munky overweight, underfit, working Mother of 2 of gorgeous children, can finally lay claim to being an endurance athlete of mind,body and soul.
Only 10% of nearly 300 participants over 3 years have completed all 5 stages, (132.5miles) of the "Forces March", I am VERY proud to now be a member of the very small group.
I was also awarded the Sarah Byrant Trophy for most outstanding female, presented by General Pascoe, the President of The Veterans Charity.
I held it together and didn't cry at this point but my goodness did the flood gates open when it sank in what I had achieved over the last 5 days, and indeed over the last two years. It is a very humbling experience to have received this award when everyone has been truly tested and as equally outstanding, if not more! Rita, aged 62, ran every day, and not once did she visit the physio, or grumble.. even when there was no vegetarian option on the first night! Alice with her latticed work K-tape that kept her bound to run another day despite such bruising and pain. Debbie who had her hip displaced from the constant running on cambers. Brenda, from USA, learned the art of Tabbing with Graham Povey, a baptisim of fire! Kaja who every day just got in there to do her run thing on just rice-refueling initially! She had some tough battles to overcome through positive focus and mindset. This account can go on for every individual. Everyone should have their hand on that award.
The first 2 days I had many hours on my own marching through lanes with fast moving vehicles who paid little regard to pedestarians. I did a lot of hedge diving, and trying to not get caught too much in the right hand cambers!
My focus was to pick on a target ahead, pick up speed, over take. The team from RAF Odiham, nicknamed "My Boys" were always ahead. I could only over take when they took a rest stop with their support crew. I would then waddle through as quickly as possible to make it harder for them to catch up. Most of the time, they did. Just. The last 4 days I beat them back. In my mind, that was a huge powerful motivating factor and kept me powered. Yes, they were carrying 20kgs in their bergens and wearing those goddam awful military boots whilst I skipped through with my dinky Nathan Hydration pack with just 2 kilos of water and my duck gold bling asics! On the last 2 days I was able to overtake on the waddle... and they just couldn't up a gear to take over.
I should like to give them a special hip-hip-hooray for selflessly always looking out and caring for me by offering water, electrolytes, snicker bars, pieces of chicken.. anything to make sure I wasn't underfueled or dehydrated. It wasn't just about them, their team, but about everyone finishing safely. This was one big team effort with lots of cogs supporting the Forces march.
This photo is taken at the end when they presented me with a Golden Egg! How on earth did they source that months after Easter?!
Firstly, I must thank Danny for finally plucking up the courage to allow me to wear my ducksuit. I think he though I was a gimmick initially, but hopefully I have proved my weight in gold that not only can some one physically and mentally take on this endurance event as a serious challenge up there with Everest Ascents, round the world solo sailing, Marathon Des Sable (oh, wait, we just done that from Ilfracombe to Bulford!), but you could also have some fun in fancy dress.
I wear the suit as part of my other charity work and challenges. The focus was always on The Veterans Charity this week and I attracted a lot of attention to be able to verbally express my dedication and admiration for this charity. The suit became my albatross almost as I said I would wear it every day. I had not imagined that after unseasonally wintry conditions the previous week, the thermometer would jump up a few thousand centrigrades and be so relentlessly hot! I did promise to not wear it if I felt my health was at risk. But I over came the heat and discomfort and just carried on regardless.
In fact, I was getting a little cheeky with my replies when asked "Aren't you hot in that?"! Erm ,yes..ducking hot!!! So I would humour people and say "It's OK, I have aircon"! Oh the looks on peoples faces! Especially those that believed and asked how was it powered? "Solar energy and kinetic energy from heel strikes with every step", was my answer. If there had been any more techncal questions I would have crumbled!!!
Day 1, mile 5, I had an encounter with a Jack Russell that took exception to a 6ft Duck invading his "space". I had seen him on a leash in his garden, held by his flag-waving owner. I gave the gateway a wide berth, but it's "Little man syndrome" still gave it the courage to lunge at me, and there was enough length on that lead, to make sure he nipped me in the ankle!
I was checked over by our marvelous St John's ambulance crew, a mile away when I realised I really could feel some "pain". There were 2 little slash marks where I think the JRT claws must have scratched down the sock and into the trainer. In just the wrong place to be rubbed raw! The JRT must have had a mouthful of feathers, so I got off quite lightly!
Day 2 I had an encounter with a dairy herd and an alpacca! The Alpacca had spotted me waddling along a road, and it was up on a hill. It must have got whip lash the way it's head came up suddenly from grazing, then strained forward to check me out. A split second later it came galloping down it's field, scooby-doo stopped at the 5ft hedge and spat at me. Quite a feat as it missed me by a foot and I was at least 20 feet away!
The dairy herd were being held back in their field by a piece of string. I was coming down a lane ready to turn left into another lane, where a Farmer was sitting in a tractor, on the corner. A member of the Navy was just in front and said to the farmer "Oh let me through, and there is a Duck behind"!
Not sure what thought processes were going in either of their heads but the farmer turned around, saw me, winked .. and just as I rounded him and the corner, and was adjacent some string and cows, the Farmer dropped the string. I was then in the middle of the Milk Run. 12 cows heavy with milk, bolting across the narrow lane from their field to the milking shed opposite. I stood still, not bothered by this little tease until I questioned why was I getting wet? I was being covered by milk spilling from heavy swaying udders! Oh, and a little something extra brown!
I had 2 miles to go and I was due to meet with the locals at Crowborough Station, although I missed the last steam train leaving. I was a tad smelly with the milk quickly going off on me!
The photo above is me coming in to the station, and I do hope Rob wasn't laughing at the Hum!
I did rinse the suit off when I got back to camp! I had left the suit to dry over night in the barn and hoped I wouldn't wake up to see it up a flag pole or worse! I actually woke up to hear the support crew quacking, and they were chatting to it as if I had lost weight and humouring me! Erm boys..when have I ever been that quiet or not replied? I am actually also quite surprised nothing worse ever happened to the Duck, or the Ducksuit...especially in the middle of the night!
Another incident involved a talking hedge. Long story cut short, I was singing. I didn't dare put my ipod on as I needed to keep an ear out for the traffic from front and back! So I amused myself by singing and making up songs. This Hedge added in some extra lines as I sang the Yodelling song from the Sound of Music! The voice belonged to an invisible some one at the allotment!
I also made a pig jump out of it's skin when I "quacked" and it looked up.
I had my bluff called by Danny on day 4 when I was at the front of the queue to head out from the leisure park. I jovially said did he want to give everyone (the runners all queued up) a head start on me, and let them go first?
Danny said, "Let's give the Duck a count down to get away first, and ahead of you all..."!
After 5, I ran up the village. I was surprised I was ahead for so long. Did he give me a half hour head start? The poor horse trotting down the street towards me really didn't know what to make of the yellow spectacle moving quickly towards him! So he skidded sideways to a stop and reared! Luckily his owner stayed seated, laughed and thanked me for sidling past quietly!
I thought cooling thoughts whilst I became a boil-in-the-bag Duck in such heat.
In my head I constantly thanked Adam, Chris, Lauren and all the Physios for their strapping of my blisters so I could march another day.
I sang songs to keep up my morale - 6 RAF Squaddies marching on the road..and if 1 RAF squaddie should accidentally fall... (yes only 2 made the last day ;0) )
5 days of being looked after by the most excellent support crew, and in particular, Sarah, Ross, Porky, Danny (RAF) and the Navy Driver.
5 days in the company of initially strangers, but now people I would happily call my extended family, I feel quite priveleged to have been a part of this character building, awe inspiring endurance challenge. I had some great chats with Paul, Pete, Graham and Andy, who I did spend a deal of time walking with, at different times. But I don't want to single out any one person who really made this all so much more "do-able". Although Ross gets a special mention for making a poached egg without a ladle, just 2 wooden teaspoons! Plus Dan, who upon hearing about my hallucinations of Chucky The Clown bringing me a box of maltesers whilst camped in Cow Pat Field, went out and bought me a bag. Heroes!
2 years ago I signed up to do something quite fantastic to prove my doubting Thomases wrong. I was hoping to do the North Pole Race. The £25,000 entrance fee crushed that dream. I have no inclination to ever need to chase that dream, or regret I couldn't do it, as I did something far more challenging. I did the Forces March. Will I do it again? Oh yes, because still my husband has not voluntarily said he's proud of me. He acknowledges the endeavour but just the words have not been uttered. Perhaps he will learn to say it to stop me signing up for a third ;0)
I know my kids, Mother, sisters, friends and work colleagues are proud of me. But equally important, I have finally learned to recognise my achievement and be proud of myself.

Church Administration
Jesus Christ stands at the head of the Church. The mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to help all people come unto Him (see Moroni 10:32). To fulfill this mission, the Church is organized according to the pattern revealed by the Lord "for the perfecting of the saints, . . . till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God" (Ephesians 4:12–13; see also Ephesians 4:11).
Home and Family
The family is the fundamental unit in the Church, and home is the most important place for gospel learning. No other organization can take the place of the family. The Church's purpose will always be to support and strengthen families and individuals in their efforts to live the gospel.
General Administration
The Lord guides His covenant people today through the President of the Church, whom we sustain as prophet, seer, and revelator. The President of the Church presides over the entire Church. He and his counselors, who are also prophets, seers, and revelators, form the Quorum of the First Presidency.
Members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are also prophets, seers, and revelators. They, along with the First Presidency, are "special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world" (D&C 107:23). They act under the direction of the First Presidency "to build up the church, and regulate all the affairs of the same in all nations" (D&C 107:33). They "open the door [to the nations] by the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ" (D&C 107:35).
Members of the Quorums of the Seventy are called to proclaim the gospel and build up the Church. They work under the direction of the Twelve Apostles and the leadership of seven brethren who are called to serve as the Presidency of the Seventy. Members of the First and Second Quorums of the Seventy are designated General Authorities, and they may be called to serve anywhere in the world.
The Presiding Bishopric is the presidency of the Aaronic Priesthood throughout the Church. The Presiding Bishop and his counselors serve under the direction of the First Presidency to administer the temporal affairs of the Church.
The Young Men, Relief Society, Young Women, Primary, and Sunday School organizations all have presidencies on the general level to provide instruction and direction.
Area Administration
An area is the largest geographic division of the Church. The First Presidency assigns the Presidency of the Seventy to directly supervise selected areas of the Church under the direction of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. In other areas of the Church, the First Presidency assigns Area Presidencies to preside. An Area Presidency consists of a president, who is usually assigned from the First or Second Quorum of the Seventy, and two counselors, who may be assigned from any Quorum of the Seventy. Area Presidencies serve under the direction of the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve, and the Presidency of the Seventy.
Some brethren are ordained to the office of Seventy but do not serve as General Authorities. They are called Area Seventies, and they are assigned to quorums other than the First or Second Quorums of the Seventy, according to geographic location. Their jurisdiction is limited to the general region in which they live. Some Area Seventies serve in Area Presidencies.
Local Administration
Wards and Branches. Members of the Church are organized into congregations that meet together frequently for spiritual and social enrichment. Large congregations are called wards. Each ward is presided over by a bishop, assisted by two counselors. Small congregations are called branches. Each branch is presided over by a branch president, assisted by two counselors. A branch may be organized when at least two member families live in an area and one of the members is a worthy Melchizedek Priesthood holder or a worthy priest in the Aaronic Priesthood. A stake, mission, or district presidency organizes and supervises the branch. A branch can develop into a ward if it is located within a stake.
Each ward or branch comprises a specific geographic area. Different organizations in the ward or branch contribute to the Lord's work: high priests groups; elders quorums; the Relief Society, for women ages 18 years and older; Aaronic Priesthood quorums, for young men ages 12 through 17; the Young Women program, for young women ages 12 through 17; Primary, for children ages 18 months to 11 years; and the Sunday School, for all Church members ages 12 and older. Each of these organizations fulfills important roles in teaching the gospel, giving service, and supporting parents in their sacred duty to help their children become converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. These organizations also work together to help members share the gospel with others.
Stakes, Missions, and Districts. Most geographic areas where the Church is organized are divided into stakes. The term stake comes from the prophet Isaiah, who prophesied that the latter-day Church would be like a tent, held secure by stakes (see Isaiah 33:20; 54:2). There are usually 5 to 12 wards and branches in a stake. Each stake is presided over by a stake president, assisted by two counselors. Stake presidents report to and receive direction from the Presidency of the Seventy or the Area Presidency.
A mission is a unit of the Church that normally covers an area much larger than that covered by a stake. Each mission is presided over by a mission president, assisted by two counselors. Mission presidents are directly accountable to General Authorities.
Just as a branch is a smaller version of a ward, a district is a smaller version of a stake. A district is organized when there are a sufficient number of branches located in an area, permitting easy communication and convenient travel to district meetings. A district president is called to preside over it, with the help of two counselors. The district president reports to the mission presidency. A district can develop into a stake.
Programs for Single Members. Many Church members have never married or are divorced or widowed. These members comprise two groups: young single adults (ages 18 through 30) and single adults (ages 31 and older).
There is not a Churchwide program for young single adults and single adults. Instead, when enough single members live in an area, local priesthood leaders are encouraged to call single-member representatives, who work under their direction. Single-member representatives plan activities such as dances, service projects, and firesides. These activities give single members opportunities to meet with and strengthen one another. Single members are also encouraged to meet regularly with their priesthood leaders to discuss their needs and their opportunities for spiritual growth and service.

I just recently ripped the Tenchi dvd's and the source seems to be rather funky. I get a lot of black spots and junk that randomly pop up in the footage. Like in the middle left shot of this.
And im also getting some rainbow colors on the outline of my characters like in this shot.
If you know any scripts that can fix this let me know. It might just be the dvd's suck.

The importance of obesity treatment has been highlighted by a recent study, which reveals the negative experiences of overweight children. According to researchers at the University of Missouri, obese youngsters are lonelier and have a greater tendency to develop depression and anxiety issues. Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K), researchers examined the development of 8,000 schoolchildren. The study looked at the age that children became overweight and the length of time they remained obese. Sara Gable, associate professor of human development and family studies in the MU College of Human Environmental Sciences, commented: "Overweight is widely considered a stigmatizing condition and overweight individuals are typically blamed for their situation. The experience of being stigmatized often leads to negative feelings, even in children." According to the BBC, 27 per cent of children in the UK are overweight.

about the exhibition
Window Works
Karen Mahaffy
San Antonio, TX
September 18–November 30, 2008
about the artistKaren Mahaffy's digital videos, cut paper works, and installations deconstruct the differences between movement and stillness, interior and exterior, past and present. Her work "serve[s] as a reminder of the exquisite contained within the ordinary ... [and seeks] to capture that which exposes otherwise passed-over moments."
Mahaffy received her MFA from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 1996. She currently teaches at Palo Alto College, San Antonio, TX. Her one and two-person exhibitions in San Antonio include Unit B Gallery (2007), McNay Art Museum (2005), and Sala Diaz 2005). Mahaffy's work has been featured in exhibitions such as Impossible Exchange, Lawndale Art Center, Houston, Texas (2006); The Stray Show Art Fair, Chicago, Illinois (2004); and Beyond the Academy, ArtHouse Jones Center for Contemporary Art, Austin, Texas (2003). In 2006, she participated in the Red Gate Gallery Residency Program, Beijing, China. In 2004, she was the recipient of a Fulbright Group Travel Grant to China.
about the exhibition
For her WindowWorks exhibition, Mahaffy presents a triptych that simulates an ornately furnished space. The set-like construction is situated close to the gallery windows in order to capture shadows cast by natural light during the day and an artificial light source in the evening. Above the walls, a chandelier form made out of clear, etched vinyl is applied directly to the window separating the installation from the street. The resulting interaction of these elements alters our perception of space and form, and the way in which light informs our understanding of what we observe. The changing conditions of light during the day will cause the work to vary greatly and unpredictably, while the installation after dark takes on a more determined character.

I almost couldn't believe it. Seems like something went wrong while designing the card. Here's the link to article Design team failed fitting the cooler with the cards itself. I mean... that's just bad. And the joke is hilarious: "Dear AMD Hahahahahahaha, Best regards, Jen-Hsun Huang. "
I don't get how the cards themselves are a failure, they just didn't perform as well as we hoped they would. Overall they're still great cards just aimed at a different market segment
That's not the case. Someone designed a reference cooler that didn't fit on the card. IMO this IS fail.
Oh wow. That is just unacceptable. I wonder if board partners will latch onto this in RMAs and blame it on the customer...
meh - it's a piece of plastic which gets cut/removed to the cooler can fit. I would like to see the corresponding part of the cooler which necessitates the removal of that corner before deciding if it is bad design or not.
I'd rather the cooler be properly sized and have them trim a noxious piece of useless plastic then deal with other issues. this type of stuff goes on all the time in various manufacturing lines everywhere. I won't eve get started on the bodyshops at most of the automotive manufacturers where sledgehammers might be involved to get body panels to fit correctly into the robotic welding jigs. So its not the end of the world, nor is it even a topic worthy of discussion. More then likely the connector came in a bit over clearance spec or the cooler did. the problem is easily rectified, I would gather that would add roughly 3-4 minutes per card for assembly time. A big PITA once discovered and definately could cuase a line halt. Certainly not to end of the world. Certainly nothing to make a big deal of. anyways I'd consider buying the card regardless. except I am not currently in the market for a card.
my only concern would be shorting issues, most likely not a concern as a video card is not in a enviroment where it could even become problematic.
The cooler is most likely designed by a 3rd party for AMD. But this is pretty bad... On a side not, I think AMD's post-HD4k series PCBs have been less smart. Cypress and Cayman both have terrible amounts of wasted PCB around and in VRM section. HD4870 & 90 are nice and compact. HD58_0 & HD69_0 are just bloated.
oh no...it's the end of AMD...all is lost... Good thing I already ordered my 6950. I let you all know when the cooler falls off and the card explodes.
It seems that it is the fan that interferes with the power socket. Not a big issue, and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see it on any other cards than the first batch that ATi was rushing to get out on the market. They probably noticed it already, but didn't feel it was necessary to hold up production for, and just manually modified the first batch. I don't really see a big deal here since most users would never remove the HSF to notice it anyway.
I was wondering about that a buddy of mine in Germany got one and said it was hitting 94C with that fan on auto, manual fan turned up he got 89C which is suspiciously high for such a refined cool running design. The way this looks is that the card were rushed for the holiday season. First the performance and now this although in a little while I'm sure the drivers will help the card perform better. Looks like this might increase the prices of Nvidia cards rather than leveling them out .
Once all this gets sorted out these will be crossfire beasts since the frame buffer is nice and big (2GB) till then I would stay away.
I have read a fewreviews and feedback comments where the driver updates have dramatically lowered tempatures. I am thinking the next run of cards should offer more refinements.
Got my Sapphire HD 6950 installed. In 3DMark Vantage temps maxed at 60C with the fan at 30% or lower. Score 18730. In FurMark temps maxed at 69C with the fan reaching 32%. Score 3507. Didn't hear anything, nor did anything blow up. But the card did kick a puppy. :shadedshu
That seems odd, and not matching reviews. If the cooler can really perform that well maybe people should try reseating or tightening their screws.
remeber reviewers are getting preshipment hardware thats been in a state of running repair and modification for some time. I'd bet the reviewer hardware was old test mule stuff on first run pcb's. most of those problems may have been nixed. or its a collosal plot by AMD to out hardware reviewers.
While they definitely could have found a more professional solution, I'm glad to see that they're able to improvise.
one engineer got fire or demoted and another got promoted and got a raise. likely the smart guy who siad "grind the damned connector" got nothing. LOL.
It is one of those sites that grab the smallest thing and make a bug fuss and all emo about it again. That little bit of plastic does not serve much function anyways. The main purpose of that socket is to hold the pci-e power connector in place. It does not prevent any kind of arching or short-circuiting as the pin are exposed on that end anyways, and +12V is not enough to cause any arching.
This is not that surprising. Being first to market a new product at this time of year is fairly critical. The next batch will no doubt have a new replacement mold for the plastic sheathe of the effected 8 pin connector so that the cooler fits with no problems. They had a choice between putting all of these cards back on the shelf and then replacing that connector on each card, or taking a short cut, allowing the cards to get to the market when they were supposed to. My only concern (as Thatguy mentioned) would be an electrical short if one of the pins somehow touched the metal cooler. Or if someone touched the metal cooler while the system was on (which was accidentally touching a metal pin from the 8 pin connector). That would then make the user part of the electrical circuit involving over 20 amperes of current. However, that would definitely make AMD's cards the most exciting video cards in the world. No contest.

Lane, Andrew. (2011). Rebel Fire Sherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins. New York, NY: Farrar Strauss Giroux.
Imagine Sherlock Holmes as a fourteen-year old who is growing up in England just after the Civil War. What if a reader had a chance to peer into the great fictional detective's mind and soul as he learns the skills that will make him the sleuth he will become? Andrew Lane continues Sherlock's coming of age (Death Cloud, 2011) series with this sequel, published in England as Red Leech. Mystery and adventure fans will appreciate this page-turner as the action takes off like a rocket from the Prologue to the last chapter.
Sherlock's tutor is still Amyus Crowe, who at the instigation of elder brother Mycroft Holmes, teaches the teen to view his surrounding with the eyes of an observant scientist and to think logically while analyzing what he sees. John Wilkes Booth seems to have survived the carnage of his supposed capture and death and is being used as a figurehead by a group of nefarious Americans who want to re-establish the Confederacy. The villains kidnap Matty, Sherlock's best friend, in order to discover what the English know about the scheme. In order to stymie the plot, Mycroft sends Sherlock to the states with Crowe and the schoolmaster's attractive daughter Virginia.
Lane, in his Author's Note, gives the historical and scientific sources he used in creating the young Sherlock. He explains that he wants readers to see where the teen might have acquired some of the characteristics that became such a part of the adult Holmes. In this case, a violinist is on the ship that takes the trio to America, and he gives Sherlock the lessons that introduce him to his favorite instrument that later soothes his troubled spirit.
Violence abounds in this historical period piece while the characters emerge as heroes and cads, and the setting rings true whether in England or in America. Getting to know Sherlock Holmes as a lad is a worthwhile trip indeed—even if the reader is not a fan of Doyle's detective.
Dr. Judith A. Hayn is an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Panthers add to number qualifying for state
With the completion of the final 3 Class A Regional Meets last weekend, the Panthers found out that three more of their events qualified for the State Track and Field Meet this Friday May 27 at the University of Louisville. Those qualifying are Evan Mefford in the 300 meter hurdles; the 4x100 meter relay team of Ben Newby, Brody Newby, Ben Schirmer and Tyler Grant; and Destiny Tingle in the girls pole vault. This brings the total number of state qualifiers from Carroll County High School to 11 individuals.
Panthers fall to South Oldham, 6-4
Carroll (17-9) lost to South Oldham 6-4 on the road Thursday.
Head coach Jay Jones said his team had a chance to win the game, but did not get enough production from the bottom half of their lineup. Ethan Stewart was credited with the loss on the mound.
Zach Wise was 2-4 with two runs; Dillon Craig was 2-4 with an RBI; Stewart was 2-3 with an RBI; Tyler Gross was 2-4; and John Michael Adams was 1-2.
Carroll County High School's baseball team was hoping to spend its Saturday at Panther Field, competing for the NCKC tournament championship. Unfortunately for the tournament hosts, they were unceremoniously eliminated in the first round against Henry County Thursday night.
The Panthers (16-7) struggled to make plays defensively that they had made for the majority of the season, and the Wildcats (13-8) capitalized on the opportunities, winning 13-5 to advance.
The Carroll County High School tennis teams will go down in history as the first winners of their respective NCKC tournaments.
With the tournament counting as one match, the Lady Panthers extended their winning streak to 10 in a row going into the 8th Region Tournament. The girls finished the regular season 10-1 and also won the North American Stainless tournament held in Carroll County.
The Lady Panthers won the championship in a tie-breaker with Trimble County. The other teams competing in the tournament were Gallatin, Williamstown and Walton-Verona.
The Panthers pulled out a much-needed victory over the Eminence Warriors Friday, winning at home 14-4. The win put an end to a miserable week of three straight losses, including a loss the day before to Henry County in the first round of the NCKC tournament.
The Warriors' starting pitcher struggled in the first inning, giving up six runs on two doubles, three walks, one error and three batters hit to the Panther lineup before he was replaced. Relief pitcher Trevor Payton walked two more and gave up two more runs before ending the inning with Carroll up, 8-0.
The second annual Bob Coots Legends game will be held at Panther Field on Saturday, May 21 at 7 p.m. The field will be open for batting practice and infield reps beforehand.
The game is in loving memory of "Big Bob," who coached for a number of years. All proceeds go to the Carroll County High School baseball program, which the Coots Foundation is a huge supporter of, head coach Jay Jones said.
Williamstown senior Tori Wilhoit blasted a three-run homerun in the top of the sixth inning to give the Lady Demons (12-14) a 7-3 advantage in their game at Carroll Monday night. That ended up being the difference maker in the game, as the visitors defeated the Lady Panthers, 7-6.
"The three-run homer, that was the difference in this game, and that's on my shoulders," Carroll head coach Ken Blair said. "That's my inexperience calling a softball game."
The Panther and Lady Panther track and field teams both finished in sixth place out of 10 teams in the Carroll County Invitational, their final home meet of the season May 6. Madison won the girls' meet, while Shelby County won the boys' meet.
The Carroll County girls' and boys' tennis teams won the North American Stainless tennis tournament held in Carroll County. There were six girls' teams and three boys' teams that competed.

God Has A Plan For Us All
I've always felt that Cradle of Filth have underutilized Sarah Jezebel Deva's swoon-inducing vocals, so it follows that I was anticipating Angtoria's full-length debut in which Deva helms the mic, and as a result, takes center stage. Joined by fellow CoF bandmate Dave Pybus (bass), God Has a Plan for Us All is at first an alluring piece of orchestral metal – heavy on epic, grandiose string and keyboard arrangements that rival similar components found in Bal-Sagoth, Summoning, and many prog/power outfits. However, not even a skill-laden crew is able to save this particular release from being more underwhelming than not.
As stated outright and/or implied, Angtoria are strong musically, and that is where many listeners will glean enjoyment. Ironically, though, I'm not a fan of female-led troupes in which cleanness occupies the forefront, but since Deva sparkles on this recording despite the near absence of operatic vocals, I'm game. Of course Deva will be responsible for the success or failure of this album – to a certain degree – because much of the appeal lies in her area of expertise, and thankfully she turns in an enchanting, enrapturing performance. Unfortunately, the enchantress is also to blame for the lyrics, which are riddled with clichés, filled with cheese, or both. Still, songs such as "I'm Calling" and the lofty "God Has a Plan for Us All" are impossible to resist due to their catchiness and engaging nature. God Has a Plan for Us All then moves into Arabian territory – on "Deity of Disgust" – while simultaneously conjuring numerous elements of Dream Theater and other prog-oriented bands. Again, the music is incredibly layered and brings to mind all things epic, majestic, what have you, so perhaps the reception to Angtoria does not solely rest on the lead singer's ability to hypnotize the listener.
It's just a pity the middle and end are considerably less arresting than the beginning. Slower numbers like "The Addiction" and "That's What the Wise Lady Said" are pedestrian, whereas faster tunes eventually wear thin. And though Angtoria toss in clean, male vocals and growls periodically a la Lacuna Coil, they're primarily inconsequential. With 12 tracks whose sum is 50 minutes, including a cover of Kylie Minogue's "Confide in Me," the album simply loses appeal the longer it lasts. Deva excels, but I have to admit I expected more versatile vocal-work in spite of its ever-present, mesmerizing qualities.
