"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord" -- 2 Corinthians 6:17
How should Christians view the surrounding culture? Do we go to war with it? Do we insist that it be "christianized"? Do we live in an uneasy truce with it?
In 1951 Yale professor Richard Niebuhr outlined five positions Christians have historically taken on the issue. Thirty years later, Fuller Theological Seminary missiologist Charles Kraft said that the religion vs culture debate was not unique to Christianity. He reduced Niebuhr's positions to four, combining two of the categories. Here's a listing of the Christ and culture positions presented by Niebuhr and Kraft.Richard Niebuhr's 1951 book - Christ and Culture
- Christ against culture
- The Christ of culture
- Christ above culture
- Christ and culture in paradox
- Christ, the transformer of culture
Charles Kraft's 1981 book: Christianity in Culture
"Niebuhr's Christ and Culture Re-examined" [ read article ]
- God against culture
- God in culture
- God (or Christ) as merely a culture hero
- God as contained within, or at least endorsing, one particular culture
- God above culture
- Deism and many African cultures
- Follow the requirements of both Christ and culture, but each in its own place.
- Dualism -- only real solution to paradox lies in the future. The Christian is like an amphibian living in two realms.
- Culture is corrupted but convertible.
- God above-but-through culture

(FT5) First Olympus OM-D leaked image!
As you all know on February 8th Olympus will announce a new line of Micro Four Thirds cameras with the name "OM-D".The image above is actually the very first image that shows a detail of the camera. This looks super well built with high quality finishes. I hope to get more details/pictures of the rest soon.
Summary of all rumors:
This will be the first digital camera of the prestigious OM series that this year will become 40 years old. The first film camera was the M-1 (launched in 1972) that was than renamed OM-1 because Leica put some pressure on Olympus to change the name (to not confuse it with the Leica M-series). A couple of days ago Olympus launched an advertising campaign on Amateur Photographer last page (Click here to see it:http://minus.com/mxvrbfbS1#1). As you see the letter "O" and "M" are in bold! After that we discovered that Olympus registered the "OM-D" name at trademark.markify and the german patent institution (Click here). A Hong Kong invitiation from Olympus said the camera will be announced on February 8th. There is also a "coming soon" message on Olympus website.
I am pretty confident that those will be the specs (expect minor changes only):
- Camera has a classic OM design
- It has a magnesium body
- It is weathers sealed
- weight 373 g (body only).
- 16 megapixel sensor optimized for High Dynamic Range
- 200 up to 25.600 ISO
- Built-in electronic viewfinder 1.44 million dots (positioned in the center of the body like the old OM optical viewfinders and same resolution as the external VF-2 viewfinder (Click here to see on Amazon).
- 610.000 pixel OLED tilting 3 inch screen.
- Five-axis image stabilizer in body.
- FAST AF and 3D tracking
- Comes in Black or Silver.
- Price: Around $1.100 in USA or 1.000 Euro in Europe.
As usual follow 43rumors to not miss any OM related news and rumor. You can follow the February 8th Olympus announcement on this website!
P.S.: We are on facebook and twitter too!
Here are all the past Olympus OM film cameras:
OM-4T/Ti black and chrome
Rumors classification explained (FT= FourThirds):
FT1=1-20% chance the rumor is correct
FT2=21-40% chance the rumor is correct
FT3=41-60% chance the rumor is correct
FT4=61-80% chance the rumor is correct
FT5=81-99% chance the rumor is correct
Ah humans. The shiny has captured you!
Your evolution from rodents is again proving to be your doom!
Magpies in my case.
It seems kinda nice visually (I'm a fan of the modern tech look, I have no time for 70s styling), wait until I see the whole thing of course. One thing I don't get though is this trend of having the screen at a lower res than the VF. OK I rarely use my GH2 VF at all so I'm biased, but as the screen is used to playback shots too, it's pretty important to have high res there too. For me it's the wrong way 'round – but then I'm not an Olympus man (except I have one of their PCM recorders which is great for off-camera audio).
Just wondering, on my GH2 the screen is also lower res than the EVF…
The rumored EVF is the same, but the LCD of E-P3 and rumored OM-D's res is twice as much as the ultra-low res GH2.
It's pentile amoled though, so the dots is only 1/3 more with the RGBG patern rather than RGB. AMOLED also gives much more saturation, contrast and the black is a lot darker just like how superior samsung phones' LCD compared to other phones'(oly use samsung LCD). Not to mention how power efficient it is.
The superiority of Samsung's AMOLED is just marketing talk. The technology is still behind LED LCD in turns of color accuracy and power efficiency. Trust me, when you see AMOLED on an iPhone, that's when the technology is ready and most kinks are out.
Agreed. I just feel uncomfortable whenever people praise the screen on the Galaxy SII. I mean, it is a contrasty display, and it is not pentile, but that's all. Colours are inaccurate and everything is just oversaturated. The pentile HD SAMOLED on the Galaxy Nexus is in my opinion the best AMOLED screen out there, but still the colours are not super accurate.
Oh you're one of those iPhone people.
Listen, when Sony, Samsung and almost every other panel producing company is switching towards some form of LED (no LED-LCD type display) then you know that some change is occurring. Just because Apple decides to be late to the party and claim that they are the first doesn't mean a thing.
Claims of AMOLED being sharper, more punchy and providing more realistic colors are true and they are more power efficient than their S-LCD (LED-LCD) counterparts. Had Samsung still been one of the iPhone's main suppliers you could bet yourself that the AMOLED technology would've been in the iPhone 4S instead of the same tired out display that was released in the iPhone 4 (made by LG).
Truth is when other top-phone producing companies such as Motorola, LG, HTC, etc. decide to adopt the technology and when you see most of the products in CES come out speaking about new OLED based technology, well the market at that point is speaking for itself.
i must claim that i am seriously considering buying a galaxy nexus precisely because it has a screen better than that on the iphone. amoled dominating the market is just a matter of time. but what i tried to say was just a plain fact: amoled on mobile devices are generally less accurate in terms of reproducing real life colours. it maybe simply because people at sammy knew nothing about colour tunning. i mean, look at the gs2 display for god's sake, the white is almost pale green from what i recall, especially if you compare it with a piece of white paper under sunlight. well if there is such thing as a Colorvision Spyder for mobile devices then you will know what i am talking about.
the market is only good at telling you whether people like the technology but it cannot justify colour accuracy. afterall colour is physical phenomenon and it is not eye-catching at all.
anyway, back to the topic, i am very pleased with my ep3′s oled touchscreen. nice viewing angle, sharp and crisp. it is good to see it on the om as well. damn the specs and that leaked pic looked so tempting
Actually the resolutions are hard to compare like that. My G3 has a 1.44 million *dots* EVF, and 460000 *pixels* for the LCD. The LCD is a traditional panel with alternating RGB pattern. The EVF uses something called LCOS, though. There are actually 480000 dots that are lit one after the other with a R, G and B LED. The review article here says that while on paper the EVF is equivalent to 480000 RGB pixels, because of persistence of vision it probably could be doubled.
I bought the G3 (other than say a E-P3) mainly because of the full time EVF. So I perfer it to be "better".
A more complete explanation (with pictures) is here – http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/DMCG3/DMCG3VIEWFINDER.HTM
Looking forward to seeing' this wee beastie in a few weeks.
Now seeing the first detail of the new OM-D …it may be that this …
is actually the camera.
Take a good look at the area around the shutter button and the edge detail.
The dial around the shutter button is bigger in this image than in that silver mockup. The OM-D logo (or, what looks like the OM-D logo) is also where the AF illuminator is on the mockup.
And that handgrip is too un-integrated to be real.
Come on, the shutter button on the black camera protrudes from the front of the body. The photorumors picture doesn't.
Not the same at all…
I don't know what you are looking at, but there is a certain amount of protrusion under the front wheel (of which the shutter button is in the middle of) to allow easy access to the wheel. I am very pleased to see the two wheels positioned similarly to the high end DSLRs & am looking forward to seeing the rest of the camera & how well it handles all the lenses from m4/3′s to all the 4/3′s range plus it's IQ in all aspects.
Looks good so far!
Not too classical. = I like it.-
I agree. It looks like a modern design that was inspired by the classics vs something like the Fuji X100, X10 which seem like a retro design that was just updated to be more modern.
Who photoshopped OM in there?
Look at the angle of OM. It's not in the same plane as the panel onto which it has been pasted.
I've noticed that too, the OM lettering has incorrect perspective, but the body shape seems to be well rendered.
A rendering, or a tilt shift-lens, don't need 'correct' perspectives.
Gdgt are already listing it as a product online: http://gdgt.com/olympus/om-d5/
Have a look under specs…
OM-D5 ? why 5 ?
All the X-names were used up!
To be on a par with E5?
To follow on from OM-4 ??
It'll be better than Nikon D4 .
Good point.
An interesting excerpt from an interview with Maitani-san, published in the Japanese book "All About Olympus", 2001:
At the end of the interview, we asked Maitani about the "OM-5″."Please understand that the OM-5 will not come out soon. As you know, our investments are mainly oriented to digital cameras today. But demands are always changing. If desired by the people, it may come out some day."
From the excellent OM historical site, om2n.com
I always thought of a camera as a tool to take great pictures with. I understand spending more for full frame, but when it comes to smaller sensors you can take wonderful pictures for a reduced price.
With the OM-D, if it's really around $1100, it's hard to justify spending that much more over say a G3, where the image quality is certainly more than good enough for my purposes for years to come (I mean, an original digital rebel is good enough qualitiy for most people, too!).
But now that I own and holding an OM-1n and OM-2n… if holding an OM-D is anything like holding an OM-1, it could tip me over into spending 2x the price.
Something small with a big viewfinder (please be a big viewfinder!) that oozes solidity and looks classic. If only it were full frame.-
If it was FF the camera and the lenses would be HUGE? I think you may be on the wrong website?
Not necessarily. OM-mount lenses are tiny.
It'll happen. It'll just take several years to get there.-
I believe FF digital will be possibly smaller in the future too.
I think you may have read his post wrong.
Price seems low for an alloy wheater sealed body 3inch oled tilt screen high res evf ibis fast tracking 3D AF and classical look (you can breath now
But that's good specifications.-
I agree with your outlook on the price……but it all depends on the sensor..if it is a tweaked G3 sensor…I will happily stay with my GX1 & G3.
Agree with that Bob.
I like that the weight has dropped some from the original specs too. If the sensor is genuinely good, and a step up from the G3 sensor, then I may get one of these after the dust settles.
It would be a better back up camera for my Fuji XPro1. Otherwise, GX1 around mid year…
Looking good
I may be wrong, but I don't see any reason why the one who sent this picture could have not send one of the complete camera unless… this is a clever marketing campaign by Olympus itself
Which I like a lot, by the way
Woodford's revenge: he's the leak!
"this is a clever marketing campaign by Olympus itself"
You don't say
More like regular marketing, it's not clever anymore
I like it
I'm thinking just the same. Either that or admin here is feeding it to us in small chunks to have the "storm" raging for a longer period.
The FN2 button looks a bit odd to me. Is it a stacked button, i.e., 2 buttons in one? Press the inner portion for one function, press both the inner button and outer ring for a second? Or is that raised area around the central portion just there so it's easier to differentiate the button by feel?
I would think it is to help identify with touch and feel.
so i guess there is also a fn1 button ?
Of course its marketing, they all think they're apple now don't you know?
Like ^^
Well, have to say, I bought a pen mini 4 months ago, and it is all the camera I need and more….. But the new Olympus has me thinking about saving for the end of March. Silent shutter and 1080p will help make the decision for me.
Gonna be a long three weeks, waiting til 08 Feb.
Question: does the main dial look quite big? Too big for a PASM dial? So big it might be shutter speed? Personally, I hope not.
No touch screen ?
Real men don´t touch screens
Yes, we do. It's good practice.
"Real men don´t touch screens"
one beautiful flop
That's OK. You can flop off else where.
I had the EP3 on order and I guess it was my luck that stock is low at the moment, so now I cancelled and can wait for this beauty.
Oh dear … we have a leaked photo of the Om D5 but still no info on some kind of proper compatiblity to 4\3 lenses ANY NEWS ?
It's magnesium alloy body. You guys are getting very close…
So help us with the senor! Who's gonna make it?
Who made the Fuji sensor?
Sony, naturally!
This is going to be a very sexy camera. I am a sucker for retro. My e-p1 begs to be picked up where as plastic cameras don't have the same effect.
it looks like black finish of E-P2 that i really liked the look ofalso, what is that "ribbed for your pleasure" dial beneath the shutter button? dial for adjusting exposure/shutter/speed settings i guess?
i was all set to buy E-P3, but luckily i asked Oly product manager i know if i should buy it or wait, he said i should wait and that i wouldn't be disappointed…it seems more and more that he was right
"ribbed for her pleasure…. EEEEEWWWWW!!!!"
The 5th axis will stop the subject from moving. Out of Body IS. =)
where to preorder ?
where to preorder ?
Panasonic better start leaking some info on the GH3 and give us some indication on when its coming. I am a GH1 owner eager to upgrade. I love the finish of the GX1 but I need to have an integrated view finder. This OM-D is tempting, particularly if I have to wait to the end of the year for GH3.
You have to make a decision at one point. If you know the OM-D and the GH3 specs, are you going to wait what the successors will be able to do? If Panasonic is not going to announce the GH3 around the CP+, then they will likely do it at Photokina. And why don't you even wait until the OM-D is announced and you know what images look like? Calm down.
Sorry for the spam.
My 5 cent:
It will be a m43 camera, but they will release new OM and 43 adapters (weatherproof).
5-axis stabilization (shifting along lens axis) will be used for focus assist on MF-lenses, and to provide fast focus on 43 SWD-lenses.
It will be sex.
Well, I'm excited, and I'm a panny shooter (GH2)
I will remain enthusasicly optimistic, but I will wait until it is released to be really excited — Olympus fans have been disappointed before
Some 43rumours-users will be disappointed even if the camera beats the best FF-offerings, is lighter and smaller than the competition, comes with a pancake 2-2000mm f0.7 kit-lens and makes gold out of iron.
Admin, tell us about the 2-2000mm f0.7 kit lens. Will it be waterproofed?
It's so beautiful. I hope the specs match the finish.
(Although, truly, the E-P3 can take nice photos)
ISO starts at 200?
I hope your dreams come true… the farm, the children and especially … the OM-D.
haha. good one.
no info on 43lens compatibility?
no info on sensor?fishy fishy fishy
olympus said they are releasing a new line of products. That's plural so will we see more than new product announcement?
Perhaps some more om related items like weather sealed lenses?
they said a "line" so they should be related.
perhaps the line they are referring to is a high end line of products targeted at the "enthusiast"?
The line can also be OM-D, and they will begin the line with one product: the OM-D5. It does not necessarily mean that they will introduce the new line with more than one product.

Thanks Oly ,.. Great job admin to post this news.
Hopefully the image quality is just like what rumors said; doesn"t matter old sensor or new sensor but if the camera itself deliver superb image quality as we expected , there will be no point for someone to complain.
As the matter of IMHO itself; lets everybody have their own taste in their opinion but , the most gladly things is the BUILD IN EVF , that a big step from Oly. And also the advantage of IBIS .
I believe this camera will cause a headache on Panasonic R&D. Compare to a toy camera GF2-3 & G3-
probably the "pro" camera is weather sealed and has the built-in EVF and uses the new 12-50 as the kit lens.
and a mid-level camera with the same new technology (3D focusing, 16MP sensor, 5-axis IBIS) but without the EVF or the weather sealing, and with the existing 14-42mm II R kit lens.
You should compare the new OM-D to the GH2, to be fair. And since Panasonic has an emphasis on video, there is not really a big competition there. Although it would be nice if great image quality from Oly would force Pana to do more in that department.
SWEEEEEEET! Still interested!
Any word yet on a PDAF solution for 43 lenses?
(just to keep beating that drum…)
That thing you're beating is a dead horse.
You just THINK it's a drum.
Pound on it long enough and it'll turn into GLUE.
Perhaps it is a dead horse but some of us are still interested in 43 glass, and it's not as though it hasn't been done by other companies.
I've still not traded in my E1 and E510 because the currently range of Pens didn't offer enough improvement for the money… I calculated that I'd have to spend several hundred pounds just to get effectively the same equipment in m43 flavour, if this can focus 43 glass at close to native speed (by PDAF or another method) that definitely makes this a much more interesting proposition.
If you read further up in the comments, you'll see that the admin is asking someone else (perhaps a source) about the image quality. The person's response to the admin is that it normally is p (phase detect?) or c (contrast detect), but with this camera he's hinting at both.
I wouldn't declare it a dead horse yet.
nice connection, but why would the type of AF have an influence on image quality?
There is no real influence. All I'm saying is that the person responded to the admin's questions with those statements (along with an answer to his original question). Those statements lead me to not give up on the idea of a Phase Detect and Contrast Detect AF system.
People will buy the camera regardless. So why split hairs and get apoplectic over unknown… or worse… fantasized features?
Oly's PR department is doing a reasonable job trickling tidbits of info about the OM-D and building interest in it's release.
We'll know all about it soon enough.
P and C could also mean:
Panasonic and Canon. Another user here mentioned that they "took some from P and some from C and got the best of both" so I'm assuming that the puzzle behind this "P and C" could also be
Panasonic and Canon in terms of image quality. Taking the attributes of both – meaning, perhaps, the imaging detail of Canon but the contrast-AF system of the Panasonic mixed with their own tweaks.
Perhaps the low-light will be very acceptable in high ISO? Usable 12800 anyone?
yeah Mr ree … it could be a unicorn and the rainbow will be all over your face
nice but the sensor is 4 times too small, i have connections to oly, but cannot tokk about id jet, en dii ai bubba
did you download the image from megaupload? be honest ^^
…I like this atmosphere. It's like in a spy movie: noone knows who's a source, Admin and his sources are communicating in secret codes via the comments, leaked images, lots of speculations, … Exciting times, I like it!
Retro is getting old
The Tall Lady in Florence Lays All Soldiers. Half of Ireland's Best Inspectors Shot. Maybe Old Duggar's Used Logger's Axes Responsibly. Bring Old Tigger Hazelnuts Shortly You'll Set This Evening Moving Soon.
Modular ? 4/3 module & m4/3 module
As in Ricoh modular?
If base ISO is 200, it doesn't look to be Panasonic 16MP sensor, since base ISO of those is 160.
This is quite an interesting development.
The pens have a base ISP of 200 yet it is a Panasonic sensor
Yes, but that'a a 12mp sensor with native iso 200, even on panasonic cameras.
Yes, but that'a a 12mp sensor with base iso 200, even on panasonic cameras.
I told you that 2 days ago
The E5 uses the Panasonic 12mp sensor and It does ISO 100.
No it doesn't do.
Sensor can't be run at lower than its native ISO which is 200 and image is just overexposed one stop which lifts shadow area signal level but at the cost of very easily and badly burned highlights.
That's how it's done in every Olympus using that sensor.DxOMark's sensitivity graph shows instantly what is actual base ISO because below that curve just flattens to horizontal.
Call Silvester Stallone. time to make a new spy movie. We have the plot. We have the actors. we have the OMD OMG!! my 7-14mm ED lens is quiet excited about this cam! We'll see…
It looks like Batman. I hope it will have video capability comparable to the GH2 — all these great new cameras are coming out, such as the new Fuji, but most of them aren't really workable as video cams, which is most of what I need.
I have no doubt that this will be another exceptional camera from a maker who repeatedly issues exceptional cameras, though I am disheartened to hear that it won't feature a 35mm sized sensor. Let's hope the m4/3rds sensor they have designed in is exceptional! No matter how good the construction and styling, the litmus test will always be IQ and that will be judged with reference to the current crop of competitors which generally employ larger sensors.
… and those larger sensor based cameras will have larger lenses and bodies. =)
True but what's your point? The original OM had served the same sized film frame as its competitors, but the body and lenses, as I remember, were relatively compact. It was the efficiency of the design that made it an instant classic. Are you saying Olympus couldn't do that again?
why keep hoping for a full frame sensor? it'll never happen from Olympus or Panasonic. simply way too much invested in 4/3 sensor technology and lenses. olympus doesn't have the resources to launch multiple sensor technologies at once.
Well, it is true that I have hope in that department, but my message was mostly about how the new camera will be received, and judged, by the market at large.
Sensor optimized for DR starts at ISO 200? Sounds weird…
Interesting thumb rest is interesting.
This should have been the goal years ago in their 4/3 system. However, its nice to see Oly might finally be picking up, where they last left off…..
Couldn't agree more. I always felt that 4/3rds needed to offer savings in size and weight in order to compensate owners for the small sacrifice they were making in sensor performance.
The smart money would have been on two lines – m4/3rds and a real neo-OM bearing a 35mm sensor. Maybe not possible now, but who knows.
This should have been the goal years ago in their 4/3rds system. However, its nice to see Olympus might finally be picking up, where they last left off…..
At last, a camera!
so far so good..
Everybody has been talking "more function, higher spec" but the original designer of the OM system cared only the final photograph which should reflect photographers' image, no matter it was captured on a film or solid-state sensor. So, no need of "D" on it's name. OM-5 can be assigned to a body with minimalist design (with small and fixed LCD screen on its back, and is operational even when the screen is malfunctioned) and OM-6 with high automation.
Of course I know Olympus will bankrupt when new cameras are like above. It's just an old-fashioned Japanese OM-fan's dream. Thanx.
Maybe this is the GH2 16mp sensor? The GH2 16mp sensor is optimized for video. The 12-50mmm weather sealed lens is also optimized for video with its power zoom.
Since Olympus is redesigning their IBIS, they could be optimizing for both video and the GH2 multi aspect sensor.
why is the logo printed to the side? what does the center hump look like then?
Engadget picked this up: http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/olympus-om-d-digital-camera-leaked-image/#disqus_thread
Looks like one of Batman's Gadget Cant wait to see the whole thing!!
Olympus has a way of making things not backward compatible.
New line of products might mean that they again will release a new line of lenses compatible with new AF/5-axis IBIS. New line of 5X-lenses starting with 17mm/2.0 bundled with new OM-D1
We have 43 lenses, m43 lenses and to follow m43 5X-lenses.
All older lenses will work but be terrible slow.MF focus assist won't be peaking but oldskool prismwedge of some sort.
If there are really 2 wheels at the right side like on the photo, I think the EVF can´t be in the middle. The wing of the EVF would be near the middle of the rear wheel. Perhaps the EVF is more to the left side of the body. And i can´t imagine to comfortably handle the rear wheel if the EVF would be in the center..
B.t.w. the EVF of the good old E-1 was more on the left side too…
The new "Five-axis image stabilizer in body." is usable in video recording?
If only $1,000 – I'm getting it…. I wonder how much with the 12-50 lens.
Considering the fact that this seems to be a studio illuminated (high res?) pro picture of the cam showing only a fraction of the body, my educated guess would be that this leak comes straight from the olympus marketing crew, giving us really a first quick look at the cam.
Nevertheless, build quality seems to be quite nice…

No one looks forward to spring more than people with seasonal affective disorder, who grow depressed in the waning light of winter. A smaller group of people, however, suffer on the opposite side of the calendar.
Consider Violet Adair, a 39-year-old artist in Oakland, Calif., who gets ready for summer by filling plastic bottles with water. ''I'll put them in my freezer and I'll sleep with them,'' she said. ''I'll sleep hugging a two-liter Pepsi bottle filled with ice.''
These makeshift cooling devices help her cope with the distress that has come upon her each summer for roughly a decade. This year, she is going a step further.
Many of the rooms in Ms. Adair's loft are windowless, and she plans to paint the walls blue and aqua. She will hide out in these darkened chambers, equipped with a fan, avoiding the outdoors as much as possible until the nights again grow long.
At least Ms. Adair knows what she has: summer SAD, also known as reverse seasonal affective disorder. About 5 percent of adult Americans are thought to have winter seasonal affective disorder; researchers estimate that fewer than 1 percent have its summer variant.

Here we go! Rockstar games has announced that they will be releasing a DLC for the hit crime thriller L.A. Noire. But Rockstar is offering more than just the DLC. Starting today, in NA and Europe, players can purchase teh L.A. NOire Rockstar Pass, a way to pre-order DLC and give them access to all seven (yup, seven) paid DLCs.
The Rockstar Pass will be available for a limited price of $10.00 (PSN)/ 800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE). If you calculate it, you'll be saving approximately 50% if you decided to purchase all the DLCs individually!
And now, the break down of DLCs: we have four uniques cases, two detective suits and a collectible challenge. Each case will feature its own set of trophies/achievements.
The seven pre-order DLCs will be available today, starting with "The Badge Pursuit Challenge" ($2.00/160 Microsoft Points) and the Sharpshooter/Broderick detective suits ($1.00/80 Microsoft Points). "The Naked City" Vice case and "A Slip of the Tongue" Traffic case are also launching today as well. These will be available at $4.00/320 Microsoft Points each.
Two more cases will be available this summer: the "Nicholson Electroplating" Arson case (6/21/2011) and the "Reefer Madness" Vice case (7/12/2011). These cases are based on famous noire fiction and real-life crimes taken straight from headlines. As mentioned, all of these will be available using the L.A. Noire Rockstar Pass.
Furthermore, Rockstar is offering a free download of the Chicago Lightning Detective Suite, as well as the Chicago Piano machine gun to members of the Rockstar Social Club for free! You can register to join the Social Club at http://socialclub.rockstargames.com.

Mitt Romney's Coal Complex
From Slate
By Raymond T. Pierrehumbert
By now we know that Paul Ryan has more or less declared himself to be a full-blown climate change denialist. But what are we to make of Mitt Romney?
Perhaps we should call him a Climate Clown, since he seems to think global climate catastrophes are a laughing matter. Romney used the bully pulpit of his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention to ridicule President Obama's aspiration that the Obama administration might someday be seen as a turning point in the effort to combat global warming. Alas, it is an aspiration that has not been fulfilled (not yet, anyway), but it was a good aspiration to have, not something to ridicule, still less to ridicule by implying that halting global climate catastrophe would do nothing to help American families.
It gets worse. Commenting on the EPA's authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, Romney joked, "I exhale carbon dioxide; I don't want those guys following me around with a meter to see if I'm breathing too hard." I'm sure Romney is smart enough to realize that the carbon dioxide he breathes out is a wash, since it came quite recently from the atmosphere via agriculture into the food he ate and metabolized and is only being returned whence it came. I'm sure he knows the difference between the kind of emissions the EPA would regulate and the kind it would leave alone. But why let facts get in the way of a good joke—especially when you can use it to score points with people in your base who really can't tell the difference between burning fossil fuels and exhaling? Another joke Romney has trotted out on several occasions is his quip that "the problem is called Global Warming, not America Warming."
Last time I checked, America was part of the globe, so if the globe warms, America warms with it, and every ton of carbon dioxide America adds to the atmosphere adds to the collective warming we all suffer. There is indeed a serious issue lurking in the joke, regarding the crucial task of how to engage China in joint efforts at emission reductions. Surely a necessary part of that is showing that America is willing to do its share, especially given that America still bears a far greater responsibility for the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated in the atmosphere than does China. But Romney isn't interested in such things, and he offers no path forward for engaging China. He is only interested in using Chinese emissions as a bludgeon to kill off any efforts toward reducing U.S. emissions. Why think seriously about how to address an important problem like this when you can just dismiss it with a joke?

Changing the way you look at things eases caregiver stress
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/alzheimers-caregiver-stress/MY01895
- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Changing the way you look at things eases caregiver stress
By Angela Lunde
54 comments posted
Thanks to each of you for reflecting and offering comments on the sensitive issue of Alzheimer's and divorce. I think Allan captured the essence of what most of you expressed. "This is such a highly personal matter ... one size cannot possibly fit all ... be careful not to judge too harshly whatever decisions a caregiver spouse makes," he said.
Whether you see things the way John does or not, his words were eloquent: "That I might take a companion, even as a lover maybe, in no way lessens or impugns the devotion and commitment I feel to her (my wife with Alzheimer's) ... Indeed, it represents a cherished endorsement of our treasured years together that I should think so highly of our companionable relationship that I might want another."
And Tom wrote, "... my wife ... is still in early stages ... I have asked her how she would feel if a relationship with someone else were to happen if and when she no longer knows who I am. She knows that I ask the question with full intention to continue to love her deeply, to stay engaged with her, and to provide for all of her needs. Understanding all of that, she has encouraged me to be open to that possibility. I don't honestly know how I feel about it ... I only know that I am glad we had this conversation."
Tom offers a powerful message about the importance of having (even tough) conversations with those we love and care for while there is still time. In addition, it's a reminder that each of us still has the opportunity to have our wishes understood around living and dying.
No matter where each of us sits on this issue, someone we love is both here and gone. The relationship has changed and will never return to the way it was. This is that ambiguous loss I mentioned in the last blog.
In a book titled "Loving Someone Who Has Dementia," author Pauline Boss, Ph.D., writes, "When there's no cure to an illness or condition, the only window for hope is to become more comfortable with ambiguity and a less than perfect relationship." She goes on to speak about how rigid thinking blocks our ability to cope. In other words, when we think we ought to do it this way, or we should feel this and not that, or there is a right and wrong choice to make, we experience excess stress.
Dr. Boss provides caregivers a way of thinking that can help reduce stress. She offers a dualistic view that encompasses a "both — and" way of thinking. Here are some examples:
- She is both gone and still here.
- I take care of both him and myself.
- I am both a caregiver and a person with my own needs.
- I both wish it was over and wish my loved one keeps on living.
- I am both sad about my lost hopes and dreams and happy about some new hopes and dreams.
Life as I see it is full of situations that lack a clear solution or a right answer. And with dementia when the losses are ambiguous and the decisions left to caregivers have unclear or less than ideal outcomes, the process can be heart wrenching. A way to lessen stress may come when a caregiver can balance two competing ways of thinking — I am a loving spouse (and caregiver) and need time apart from my husband. The ability to replace absolute ways of seeing things with a tolerance for ambiguity (yes, it may be incredibly challenging) opens up new possibilities for hope, contentment and possibly joy.
Back to Tom's blog comment about having a discussion with his wife in the early stages of AD. He offers a reminder to all of us about the value of having our wishes understood as best we can. There are several tools available that can assist in having these conversations.
A precious gift we can offer those who love us is a better understanding of our own values, likes and dislikes, medical choices and spiritual beliefs. Two sites that can help are: www.honoringchoices.org and www.agingwithdignity.org/five-wishes.php.
"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

BELMONT COUNTY, Ohio -- Belmont County authorities are cracking down on a suspected copper theft ring after several months of investigation.
Sheriff Dave Lucas said on Tuesday that a number of industrial locations around the county have been targeted by a rash of thefts since April. Lucas said that the criminals often take large spools of wire from power companies and construction sites, then try to sell them for scrap. AEP and South Central Power stations have been among the targeted sites.
Detectives have responded to thefts in Barnesville, St. Clairsville and Martins Ferry in just the last two months, and Sheriff Lucas said at least seven suspects will face charges. Other details were withheld.
Investigators are also working with the Belmont County Prosecutor to find better ways to enforce a recent law that makes it harder for thieves to sell stolen metal to dealers.

We celebrate the 1983 Wayzata Club Hockey Team and one of its stars, Jonny "The Mouse" Mikkelson, who once told me "Our team was so good the varsity wouldn't play us." When asked why he didn't play varsity Mouse said, "Too little." Cutest ever. So, we salute the greatest Club Hockey Team ever, a squad so vaunted even Jim Craig's Miracle team wanted nothing to do with it. Trottier, Bossy, Gretzky, Messier ... dead! Long live the 1983 Wayzata Club Hockey team!

Aquia Landing
Did You Know?
Hazel Grove was a plateau of high ground that General Hooker gave up on the early morning of May 3, 1863. Realizing that this ground was the key to winning the battle, the Confederates quickly seized it and concentrated artillery which had an advantageous position to the Union artillery at Fairview.

Gripe water helps!
By Mommy Nicole
from Upland, Ca
About Me First Time Parent
Comments about Babies R Us 1011187 Babies R Us Gripe Water Concentrated Drops for Colic - 4 Oz.:
I use gripe water when I have already fed, changed, burped and warmed my baby. She usually is gassy or has an upset stomac and gripe water helps settle her. The only hassle is running to the fridge, shaking well and filling the plunger with her crying in my arms. If only I had a third arm.

Tennessee has many lakes and rivers, and numerous Memphis and Tennessee residents participate in waterfront activities on boats for work and pleasure. Since many Tennesseans work on ships and spend their time on boats, it is important for ship owners and boaters to exercise safety and caution on the water to avoid causing accidents and injuries. The lawyers at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (âNST Lawâ) protect victims injured in boating and maritime accidents in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi.
Ship crews and fishermen often work long hours and perform stressful and strenuous tasks, such as heavy lifting. Ship workers can be injured as a result of incidents with co-workers, slipping and falling, and handling defective equipment. Boats can crash into other boats or structures as well. In Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, the Jones Act protects injured maritime workers from injuries suffered as a result of the negligence of others. This act requires each employer to provide a safe workplace and environment for its employees. Also, under the Jones Act, an injured employee can recover damages by showing his or her employerâs negligence was one cause of the injury even if it was not the only cause.
If you have been injured in a boating accident on the Mississippi River, Tennessee River, Pickwick Lake, Sardis Lake, or any other body of water in Tennessee, Arkansas, or Mississippi, call the boating accident lawyers at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz at (901) 683-7000. Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz, also known as NST Law, is a firm that vigorously pursues maximum compensation for clients injured by someone elseâs negligence in boating accidents. Boating injuries can come with medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and at NST we have the resources to retain experts to document these expenses and create life care plans. Team NST stays current with boating and maritime laws in the United States, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, and has had experience and success working these types of cases. It is never too early to call a lawyer if you have been injured in a boating accident.
Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz is the largest plaintiffâs law firm in Tennessee dedicated to protecting the rights of those injured as a result of someone elseâs negligence. NST represents clients in Memphis, Jackson, Knoxville, and all surrounding counties in Tennessee. We also serve clients in Pine Bluff and Jonesboro, Arkansas, and Grenada, Batesville, Tupelo, and Jackson, Mississippi.
Call NST today at (901) 683-7000 to speak with a boating accident attorney and let us use our resources to investigate your boating accident injuries.

Wuzhen Pictures – Wuzhen Photo Gallery
Monday, April 1st, 2013
Wuzhen is a historic water town which lies in the center of a triangle formed by Hangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai. Wuzhen Water Town is located in the city of Tongxian in the northen Zhejiang Province, 80km to the northeast of Hangzhou, 80km to the south of Suzhou and 140km to the southwest of Shanghai. There are daily long-distance buses going directly to Wuzhen from Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai and Jiaxing.
If you are planning your Hangzhou tour, Suzhou tour or Shanghai tour, a side trip to Wuzhen is highly recommended. Wuzhen is the typical water town in the Yangtze river delta region. It has well preserved the layout and the style of a water town in Ming and Qing dynasties.
The waterways crisscross Wuzhen Town, mainly dividing the town into 4 areas Dongzha (east), Xizha (west), Nanzha (south), and Beizha (north). The water paths are incorporated into the ancient grand canal. Wuzhen ancient town dislays its charm and history through its ancient stone bridges, stone pathways, ornate wood carvings.
Beside its waterways, stone bridges and ancient buildings, Wuzhen also gives you the opportunity to appreciate the ordinary life in the Ming and Qing dynasties through its well preserved old house-turned theme museums, shops and organizations such as Ancient Bed Museum, Folk Custom Museum, Wine Distillery Workshop, Indigo Fabric Workshop, Woodcarving Museum, Coin Museum, The Former Residence of Mao Dun, Shadow Play, Fanglu Teahouse, Huiyuan Pawnshop, Wedding Museum, Zhaoming Academy, Chinese Footbinding Culture Museum, Wuzhen Post Office, Wuzhen Grand Theater, Heal town Pharmacy, and Yida Silk Workshop.
Follow me to have a photo tour of Wuzhen Water Town.
Wuzhen Water Town is dubbed as "Venice of the East". The waterways form the water streets or lanes connect bridges and street buildings and houses.

The old wood houses built by the water pathway.
Many building protrude above the water for more spaces with stone pillars supporting in the water.

Wuzhen Water Town is not a artificial replica of the historic town, and it is a natural town still inhabitated by the local residents.

How to Visit Ming Xiaoling Tomb
Sunday, December 16th, 2012
Plan your Nanjing tour? The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the primary attraction and the only world cultural heritage site in Nanjing. Ming Xiaoling Tomb is one of the three major attractions in Zhongshan Mountain National Park. The other two attractions are Zhongshan Mausoleum and Linggu Temple.
Ming Xiaoling Tomb is the burial site of the Hongwu Emperor (Zhu Yuanzhang), the first emperor and founder of Ming Dyansty (1368-1644) of China. The tomb construction took 24 yeas from 1381 to ended in 1405. The mausoleum is mainly composed of the Sacred Way and the Mausoleum Complex.
Taking the subway line 2 and get off at the station of Ming Xialing Tomb (Muxu) Station 明孝陵(苜蓿)站, then you can walk to the site of Ming Xialing Tomb.
Now follow me to visit Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Take the subway line 2 and get off at the station Ming Xialing Tomb (Muxu) Station 明孝陵(苜蓿)站, the exit at Exit 1. When you exit from the subway station, you will see a huge sign with 7 Chinese charactors "钟山风景名胜区" (Zhongshan Mountain National Park) and under the 7 Chinese charators, you could recognize two subtitles "Dr.Sun Yat-sen' Mausoleum and The Ming Tomb" pointing to the passway to the two attractions.
A huge sign with 7 Chinese charactors 钟山风景名胜区
Zhongshan Maountain National Park mainly comprise three attractions – The Ming Xiaoling Tomb, Zhongshan Mausoleum and Linggu Temple. All the three attractions are linked by electric carts, a kind of shuttle service. The Ming Tomb is located in the west of Zhongshan Moutain area, Zhongshan Mausoleum in the middle and Linggu Temple in the east. The Ming Tomb is quite close to the subway station. So you can walk from the subway line 2 station to the entrance to the Ming Tomb.
After visiting the Ming Tomb, you may have a 30-minute walk and take the park electric cart to the next attraction – Zhongshan Mausoleum. Then again have a half hour walk to Linggu Temple or take a park cart to the temple. Each section for taking an electric cart costs you RMB 5.

Then you will find two columns called huabiao in Chinese. Starting from the two columns, you wander along the Wengzhong Road lined with four pairs of ministers and generals of stone standing there for centuries to escort the mausoleum.
Soon you will reach the main part of the Mausoleum including the Golden Water Bridge, Civil and Military Gate, Ming Tower and the Treasue Mound (the actual burial site). The construction system of Ming Xiaoling Tomb initiated the standard followed by thereafter the Ming and Qing dynastiies in building imperial tombs.

Behind the gate, the first hall you will see is the Imperial Tablet Hall. The hall has 5 steles standing. The tablet mounted on a stone tortoise in the middle is engraved with 4 Chinese characters "治隆唐宋", which indicates the greatness of the Ming Dynasty founder Zhu Yuanzhang, matching (or outweight ) that of the founders of the Tang and Song Dynasties. The 4 charactors were written by Kangxi Emperor in Qing Dynasty.

While within the general population about 5 percent of cancers can be attributed to a hereditary syndrome, in the Jewish community, that number is closer to 30 percent. The good news is that knowledge about how the mutation causes cancer is opening scientific doors to more effective, targeted treatment for those already diagnosed. And people who have the genetic mutation can take preventative measures to drastically reduce their breast and ovarian cancer risk.

Queens Village, located in east central Queens, is bordered to the north by Union Turnpike, to the east by the Cross Island Parkway, to the south by Murdock Avenue, and to the west by Francis Lewis Boulevard.
The area was settled by colonists in the 1640's and became known as Little Plains. It was used as common public land for grazing cattle until the 1700s when a village was first established. The surrounding lands were gradually bought up and established as working farms.
From 1824 to 1834, the village was known as Brushville, named for Thomas Brush who opened a prosperous blacksmith shop as well as a number of other enterprises.
In 1834, the railroad arrived and the first station in Queens was established. Residents voted to change the name of the town from Brushville to Queens. Later, the Long Island Rail Road added "village" to its station's name and thus the town became known as Queens Village.
1870 brought extensive development when Scott R. Sherwood, a prominent developer bought and subdivided a parcel of land south of the train station and divided it into 700 building lots.
By 1898, the population had grown to about 900. Still, the area remained largely rural. Many of the German descendants of the original farm owners continued to live there. In 1902, Interstate Park was opened, followed by Belmont Park in 1903.
But it wasn't until the 1920s that Queens Village really began to take off. It was part of an overall housing boom that was spreading east through Queens from New York as people from the city sought the bucolic life.
Post World War II saw the arrival of veterans and their families, blacks and Latin Americans.
Today, many of those homes built in the twenties and thirties still stand. Charming and well maintained Dutch Colonials and Tudors currently house and continue to attract an interestingly diverse population.

The Queens Village Library owes its existence to two women, Mrs. William Wood and Miss Anne Doughty. In 1896, they realized the need for a library in the growing town. An appeal to Dr. Charles Henry Miller, a well known painter of the time, and the Shakespeare Club resulted in a traveling library being obtained from New York State.
This library was housed in the Dutch Reformed Church. It proved to be so popular, that the Shakespeare Club raised funds for an independent library which was started in 1899. In 1901, its stock of 427 books were turned over to the Queens Borough Public Library.
In 1904, the library moved to the Kissam Building on Railroad Ave. In 1914, it moved to the Post Office building then on 218th St. In 1925, it moved to the northeast corner of Jamaica Ave. and Vanderveer St.
In 1937 property was purchased between 94th Rd. and 94th Ave on the east side of 217th St. In 1939, Louis J. Bailey, then chief of the Queens Borough Public Library was granted $125,000 to build the library's first permanent home.
On Sunday June 8, 1952 the new, modern building was dedicated and opened to an enthusiastic public the following day.

Kathy Dunderdale.
The best news for Premier Kathy Dunderdale Thursday seemed to be that at least things aren't getting any worse.
According to new poll numbers from Halifax-based Corporate Research Associates, the Tories can count on 26 per cent of decided voters' support — that's seven percentage points behind the NDP and 15 points behind the Liberals, who have the support of 41 per cent of decided voters.
After two years of steadily dropping poll numbers, the new results are roughly the same as CRA's previous poll released in June.
But with only 31 per cent of respondents satisfied with the provincial government — compared to 64 per cent dissatisfied — the situation is looking bleak for Dunderdale and her party.
"In all of our years of polling, we've never seen a government re-elected when their satisfaction numbers drop below 50 per cent," said Margaret Brigley, chief operating officer with CRA. "If they continue to languish, there will be great pressure on the leadership for sure."
As for the other two parties, Brigley said the Liberals are seeing a bit of a bump due to heavy media coverage of the party's leadership campaign. The NDP essentially held steady from June's poll.
The poll surveyed 400 Newfoundland and Labrador residents between Aug. 8-31. It has a margin of error of 4.9 per cent, 19 times out of 20.
With the Liberals in first place for the first time in a decade, interim Liberal Leader Eddie Joyce was jovial while speaking to The Telegram.
Joyce said that during the next two years the party needs to establish itself as a firm alternative to the PC party.
"What we need to do is put forward a viable option," he said. "When the new leader takes over, as a caucus and as a Liberal government in waiting, we need to put forward viable options that people can gravitate to."
Next month marks the halfway point in the government's mandate, and NDP Leader Lorraine Michael said that she's not too worried about her party no longer being No. 1 in the polls.
She said she sees the position as stable, and the job now is to steer the party towards the next election.
"I think in the next two years, we continue doing a lot of what we've been doing. No. 1 is really listening to the voice of the people and to keep representing the issues they raise," she said. "Right now, halfway through, you become much more election-driven. At this point in time everything we're doing, I have to look at how does this affect 2015?"
Dunderdale issued a statement about the poll, saying her party needs to stay true to its principles, but listen to what the public is saying.
"Our foundation is built on values and principles. We will ensure the values that we pride ourselves on are clearly visible to all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians as we move forward," the emailed statement from Dunderdale said. "There is a message in this for all of us. We are listening to our people. Our government spent the summer months on the ground in communities hearing directly from residents. That was an important process and we will continue to focus on what Newfoundlanders and Labradorians identify as priority areas."
But within Newfoundland and Labrador political circles, many observers are drawing a different message from the poll numbers: it's time for Dunderdale to go.
Memorial University associate professor Kelly Blidook said with two years until the next election, there's definitely time for Dunderdale to turn things around.
However, he said, depending on what Tory politicians are hearing from their constituents, replacing the leader may be a better option.
"The people who actually have to go back and talk to constituents, they're the ones who probably really have a sense of how they're really doing and how things are looking," Blidook said. "And I would think that would be where the MHAs would have a much better sense than what the polls can tell us."
Blidook said the tough fiscal measures the PCs took last spring — slashing spending and laying off almost 1,000 workers — may be paving the way for a turnaround in the next couple years.
"Sometimes what you do is you overcompensate to a certain degree early, so hopefully it really rights the ship," he said. "I think, presumably, the PCs are going to be trying to get to a point where they can make some budgets now that look like election budgets."
But at the same time, Blidook said, if the Tories decide Dunderdale needs to be replaced, then two years isn't a lot of time to do it.
"I would tend to think that somewhere in the next six months or so, something has got to give or they've made their decision (to stick with Dunderdale,)" he said. "Probably their issue comes down to, is there some policy they want to pursue that is different, or do they want to perhaps try with a different leader?"

So the detected upset rate is: 35/(768*20) detected errors per day per computer (0.0023) or 3.3E-14 errors/bit/day Wikipedia claims 1 error/month/GB (3E-11 errors/bit/day) but their references are all pretty ancient (a JPL paper from 2001 is probably reporting on devices that would have been used in consumer electronics in the early 90s). They may also have been talking about "upset rates", and what you observe is "detected bit error rate" (that is, you don't see all the upsets that have occurred, because you don't read all memory, all the time... your accesses may be concentrated in, say, 1GB of your overall 8GB DRAM space) http://parts.jpl.nasa.gov/docs/CassDRAM-00.pdf discusses some possible reasons why multibit error rates and single bit error rates don't scale like you'd expect (a heavy ion can zap multiple bits at one time, so the bit errors are not uncorrelated). In spacecraft systems, often, they implement a scrubbing algorithm that systematically reads and checks each location in turn, as opposed to waiting for the processor to happen to fetch that location. That's so that you have a chance to scrub an error in a word before it takes a second hit. On Cassini, the scrubbing in the 2.5 Gbit solid state recorders is such that every word gets scrubbed about every 9 minutes. They get about 200-300 single bit errors/day. But this is, truly, ancient technology...
