A government does not have time to compromise, come to agreements or declare ceasefires with terrorists. Hence, it was determined to crush terrorism in its present term without delay, President Mahinda Rajapaksa declared yesterday.
Addressing the members of the Federation of Self Employees (FOSE) at the Temple Trees last afternoon he said the terrorists have more time for their military strategies.
They play for their time. When they become weak they were ready for talks. During the talks they regroup, and strengthen themselves to give a good fight, President Rajapaksa said.
Sri Lanka's President H.E. Mahinda Rajapaksa
"The LTTE must be crushed militarily. The government has brought down the LTTE from a fighting force to the level of useless rhetoric. However, the strikes in the south give terrorists a breathing space. If this government could not militarily defeat the LTTE the future generation may not have a future.
The government will restore democracy and peace in the north as it did in the east and save the people from the jack boot of the LTTE," he emphasised.
Referring to the recent token strike President Rajapaksa said for the first time in Sri Lanka certain anti-government elements got together with the LTTE to destabilise the south. But the strikers were not able to stop a single bus or single train from running.
Commenting on the forthcoming PC polls in North Central and Sabaragamuwa, President Rajapaksa said both UNP Chief Ministerial candidates were outsiders of the two provinces.

"No chance has been given to the intellectuals or professionals in the two provinces. The two Chief Ministerial candidates have been imported to the two provinces from outside. If they win, not the people in the two provinces but outsiders will benefit," he added.
The Temple Trees' doors were opened only to foreigners, and elite in the past. Cabinet decisions were taken after consulting foreign consultants. Conferences were held with business leaders, company executives and top officials.
There was no place at Temple Trees for the common man in the past. This government has made it a familiar place for the common man and the down trodden, he stressed.
The policy of the government was that the pavement is used by both the pedestrian and the pavement hawker. The government would introduce a mechanism enabling both to use the pavement without making it an issue as thousands of pavement traders make a living by using it for their business, President Rajapaksa stressed.
He said Sri Lanka had avoided a food crisis by taking measures to make Sri Lanka self sufficient in food three years ago. But, nobody could prevent the escalation of food prices when oil prices went up in the international market.
A large gathering of three wheeler drivers, pavement traders, lorry drivers, nattamis, private bus workers and pavement hawkers were present at the first annual convention of the FOSE.
Ministers Bandula Gunawardana, Mahindananda Aluthgamage, Governor Western Province Alavi Moulana, Chief Minister Reginald Cooray, President FOSE, Mahinda Kahandagama and R. Tennakoon also spoke.

By Army Lt. Gen. Ken KeenCommander, Joint Task Force Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, March 30, 2010 My time spent here in Haiti has been a journey to say the least. I have been fortunate to be part of a mission that carries with it a level of importance that I could never begin to describe with words. I've also been fortunate to have a number of teammates with me at every step of the way. I am a firm believer that having strong partnerships in any operation, but particularly in a humanitarian one like Operation Unified Response, is the difference between success and failure.

Did The Houston Rockets Strike Out?
Posted By Bill Ingram On March 15, 2012 @ 3:51 pm In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
The Houston Rockets were as active as ever at the 2012 NBA trade deadline, though the results may not be as exciting as Houston fans might have hoped. Afer weeks of talking about Pau Gasol and even Dwight Howard possibly donning the red and white, the Rockets settled for a couple of smaller moves.
Houston's first trade was with the Portland Trail Blazers, and sent Hasheem Thabeet, Jonny Flynn and a second round pick to Portland for veteran center and Houston native Marcus Camby. For Portland this was another significant step towards rebuilding on a day in which they all but dismantled their team. For Houston it was a chance to unload Thabeet, who was never going to play, and get a veteran center to spell Samuel Dalembert.
Camby is clearly one step away from retirement and would not hold up under extended minutes, but he's a solid defender with a great deal of experience and a great presence in the locker room. This move doesn't sell tickets, but the Rockets will win some games they might otherwise have lost with Camby in the mix.
Houston's second trade was with the Los Angeles Lakers, and brought Derek Fisher to Houston in exchange for Jordan Hill. Houston also got the Dallas Mavericks draft pick which the Lakers acquired in the Lamar Odom trade.
Fisher helps Houston immediately, as the team waits for starting point guard Kyle Lowry to return from an abdominal ailment, though whether or not he will start is probably up for debate. Goran Dragic has been great starting in place of Lowry and will likely continue to do so. This is more a case of Houston being able to bring Fisher off the bench instead of Flynn, whom they traded.
The bigger picture for Houston here is that they needed some veterans in the locker room to help stop some squabbling and some of the dissension in the ranks between players and new head coach Kevin McHale. Fisher and Camby are consummate professionals and should help the Rockets focus more on winning basketball and less on roles with the team and off-the-court issues.
Their chances of making the playoffs just got better, as well, with Portland throwing in the towel.
UPDATE: Sources close to the situation tell HOOPSWORLD that Derek Fisher's contract may be bought out, so this might be a temporary relocation for Fisher.

This marks my first post of 2011, and I'm only twenty one days late! I'm going to spare you the ridiculous excuses and just say I'm a lazy so and so. Sorry!
When I get to January, I tend to start making an inventory of my accomplishments from the year gone by. It's just a short list of goals I have achieved or skills that I've picked up so that I can make some realistic resolutions. When the big obvious ones are already down, I start digging for smaller less monumental things. That's when I discovered I had mastered a true art: the art of wing woman.
I first learned what a wing woman was at a teen night club in New York (I had snuck out to be there..but that's another story entirely!). My friends would be dancing and guys would come up behind them for a boogie. They couldn't get a good look at who was approaching and they'd look over to me to get my reaction. Smile and nod meant, yea, he's cute, continue with the dancing, frown and head shake meant, Nah, he wouldn't be your type! There was a lot of trust involved in this scenario and that level of trust still exists on the wing woman front today.
Being part of a couple on a group night out is generally great. You have someone to dance with, someone to get you a drink at the bar and someone to hail a cab at the end of the night – all without the sleazy consequences of a random score. But what happens when you're out with lots of single people?
Well this happened very recently to me and I noticed my wing woman skills were not only put to the test, but were extremely successful. I was able to provide the following to my single and ready to mingle peers:
1. Suggestions as to where the optimal places to dance were – based on the surrounding talent, if you will
2. Minor adjustments to hair and makeup (not easy in a steamy night club bathroom…)
3. chewing gum at the ready
4. I have been known to dance ridiculously, all in the name of making my friend look way cooler, of course.
5. The ability to sense when it's time for me to get lost!
Do I think of myself as a modern day Yenta? Not quite – but at least I can be of assistance in some way.
The only downside to the whole thing is seeing your friends all successfully pull and realising you're all alone for the long walk home. Thank god your other half is there, waiting to share your bag of chips!

one general question? Do the owners of these restaurants we see reviewed each week ever read them? If so, then I would hope to see some changes. When the general problem is price and quantity, why don't they change? I know all about price points. It costs a lot to run a restaurant. But overcharging for small quantities, and folks reporting it on a regular basis, means you'll go the way of so many little food joints we see shuttered after the owners tire of losing money.
I went with a large group. I had the intention of getting myself an appetizer since the prices are on the steep end for me. I get there and my friends tell me that due to the size of the party, we are getting one check that has to be split evenly. If I'm getting charged $20-25 no matter what, I decided to get $20-25 worth of food. That ended up being the Stir-Fried Chili Shrimp and one or two beers. The shrimp was amazing. However, there's no indication on the menu that it's very spicy. It was what I call a "hurts so good" experience - I was chugging my water my lips were in so much pain but otherwise it was amazing. It was very good, but for the small menu and the high prices I probably won't be back anytime soon.
1 star for flavor. Excellent flavor. Value for the money? You decide. $11 for 5 pieces of pork belly is too hard to swallow. Add a 1 tbsp spoon of rice for additional 2 bucks? Stir fried Chili Shrimp comes with 6 jumbo shrimps for $10, pretty good deal but taste like freezer and Ca Cha Hanoi $17? Fish the size of a deck or card? I can get prime rib for that price. Heck, we spent $50 there with belly half full and needed another dinner, which we did 30mins later.
Worst Pad Thai in town! Bland, tasteless, and almost completely lacking any vegetables. First and last time I eat there...
Thit Bo. Damn. I wanted to go into the alley out back to see if there was a Vietnamese lady squatting over a piece of charcoal with a grill basket in one hand and a fan keeping the coals hot in the other. These people are doing it right. The nuoc nam sauce was wonderfully fishy, citrusy, and spicy. You are supposed to just dip into it but I finished it off with a spoon.
BeerLao for $4. Yes, in Laos it is $.60, but you are not in Laos.
Oh my gosh. I'm shocked this has 4 stars... the food and service are both MEH. I wouldn't say it's terrible but definitely MEH.
Stopped in the other night for a drink and menu read.
I had to put the phone light on menu to read, tiny lettering & dim light.
Ended up ordering the Beef Carpaccio and the Lamb/Pork wontons from the 'Starters'.
The carpaccio was awesome, just the right amount of heat from the chile, and literally melts in your mouth.
The wontons were delicious as well. Served piping hot and tasty as well.
Now the bad part. These 2 apps were $14 combined. The carpaccio was served on a plate about the size of a tea saucer or dessert plate, paper thin & one layer thick. Big on flavor - short on quantity. The wontons...5 in all, served on the same size plate, again, a small portion for the price.
Add to this a $5.50 can of beer and it starts to add up fast. I also found it odd that there was no draught beer. I know cans are all hip these days...but really $5.50? Dinner plates start around $12(it is a very limited menu) and climb up from there...with your can of beer in an old gas station. Obviously, some love goes into the food but if you have an appetite, or give due consideration to the value of a dollar, this may not be the place for you.
XBB is unfair to early bird geezers. 6pm is a very odd time to open for dinner service in a town crammed with retirees who like to eat early. Oh well. Maybe Denny's will put asian on the menu some day.
We went back to XBB in February and it was a much better experience. The items listed as mains were more substantial and the pricing was adjusted across the board. The Szechuan peppercorn drink was intriguing and delicious, and the okonomiyaki outstanding. I'm glad they have made some changes, and we will definitely go back regularly.
The only real problem we had was difficulty reading the menus due to the small font, dim lighting, and the lack of contrast between the charcoal print on light gray paper. A minor quibble is that nothing indicates whether or not a dish is spicy. I can handle heat, but I still like to know what I'm getting into.
very average food, nice people but speak very very poor english
As soon as I opened the door, I knew this was going to be good. It just smelled right. It smelled like Asia.
Even though they do not focus on one cuisine (which certainly made me skeptical), they are taking great pains to make everything as authentic as possible. We have been three times and everything has been wonderful including Ramen, Bun Thit Nuong and the gorgeously sweet and spicy duck Geng Bped. While I can't vouch for the authenticity of everything I have had there, the absolute authenticity of the dishes that I am VERY familiar with in their countries of origin gives me confidence in the ones that I unfortunately missed in my extensive Asian travels.
Until someone else starts making Asian food this authentic around here, you can charge me anything the hell you want.
Som Tam papaya salad is my favorite dish from any cuisine in the world and I have enjoyed it many times both in Thailand and Laos. Theirs is spot on. Everything you need to know about this restaurant comes from the fact that they don't even ask if you want the dish prepared the way it is supposed to be or if you want it watered down for the American palette. It came nice and spicy without me having to plead and beg and unlike many Asian places around here they are not afraid of fish sauce. They serve it the way you would get it in Thailand or Laos without giving you the option of dumbing it down. Please don't let anyone talk you out of this approach.
Service is just kind of meh. Atmosphere also leaves something to be desired, as the tables are kind of cramped in the very narrow space.
The food, however, is outstanding and reasonably priced. Best curry this side of Calhoun. Working on King street, I eat here at least once a week.
My husband and I had food from here twice for takeout and once to dine in (in the span of about 2 weeks). We've tried a variety of the items on the menu, and everything has been terriffic. The service was more than fine the time we ate there. I highly recommend the Pad Thai and the Laos Egg Noodle Soup with Braised Pork. You can't beat the food for the price! It's one of our new favorites.
Great food for a great price.
I won't go into the whole ordeal...but based on my families experience on a single visit...I have no plans to go back.
Service was weak even though we were seated 6' from counter and there were only a couple other patrons. Waitress was more involved with setting up shop & organizing rather than waiting on customers. Meanwhile, one of the owners(?), a woman, is walking around with a glass of wine in hand and offers no assistance.
My meal came out separately and long after everyone else was served...in a party of 3. Food was not appetizing and bit 'off' from one would expect of familiar dishes.
No thank you.
Love this place - - favorite Korean place in Charleston. Excellent quality and prices and friendly staff.
I've been to XBB twice now, once for lunch, and once for dinner. Both experiences were fantastic. This is NOT an Asian Fusion restaurant. The dishes XBB create are authentic to Asian heritage; some of them are indeed spicy, and you will enjoy your experience more if you share the dishes among the table in the Asian tradition.
Lunch provides some great sandwich options, I had the pork sandwich (filling but not too heavy) and the cabbage pancake is fantastic (this dish is on both the lunch and dinner menus). The dinner menu is more extensive, so there is plenty to try. The flounder dish currently on the menu is absolutely to die for -- it has this lightness complemented by fennel and dill that keeps the broth from overpowering the fish. I wanted to steal it all for myself!
Also incredible is the drinks selection. Joey (formerly of Belmont Lounge) has created some amazing cocktails, and they have some really cool international beers I had never heard of, but were very good.
The vibe is very cool and this is a really easy place to meet people and strike up new conversations. Not only is the staff really friendly, but the other patrons were a lot of fun and interesting to chat with. Overall, this is a great addition to the Charleston scene, and definitely provides and experience you can't find anywhere else in town!
While I applaud the well needed diversity in our ethnic food scene... !#@% $14 bucks for pork butt, rice and an egg is a little offensive. And let's keep in mind we are not in a part of town where the rent should be dictating the prices. I don't care how good you can make those ingredients taste, they are still those ingredients. As someone who has cooked professionally all my life I know the product to cost ratio and frankly the quantity you get is not up to snuff either. Bummer because I was really looking forward to this place.

I have been a long-time supporter of D and Josh as they have worked through opening XBB. We went to several of their pop-ups and were excited to help them get off the ground since Charleston lacks good Asian food.
They opened while we were out of town so when we went they had been open about a week. We were told the menu that night was different from their regular one, and it was divided into Appetizers and Mains. We ordered shrimp toast and tofu laab appetizers, then the shao bing -- fried chicken with a sweet and spicy glaze served with pickled vegetables -- and a papaya salad with pork for mains. Our waiter said the appetizers would be out shortly. About 20 minutes later three of the dishes appeared at once and the waiter said he would be back with the shao bing.
As I looked over what we had my first thought was "Is that all?" The laab was about 1/4 of a cup of minced tofu and three small bibb lettuce leaves. The shrimp toast was four slices of baguette, each with about 1T of shrimp mixture smeared thinly on them. The papaya salad was slightly more substantial, but it was mostly papaya and only had three small pieces of pork on top. The shao bing was delivered, and my partner literally asked the waiter "Is that it?" For $8 he got a small piece of fried chicken, on a biscuit, with two pieces of pickled cauliflower and one thin slice of pickled carrot on the side. Once we got past the shock of the minuscule portion, we both reached for the menu to see if it said there was a biscuit involved. It didn't. That menu confusion continued as we started eating.
I decided to start by tasting the papaya salad, and was greeted by an explosion of chilies. I don't mind heat, but the menu did not say this dish was spicy. It didn't even mention chilies as one of the ingredients. It was so hot that I couldn't even taste the laab or shrimp toast.
One of the owners came to clear our table and I mentioned that the dish was very spicy. She lit up and beamed with apparent pride, saying they wanted it to be authentic. I pointed out that it should say it on the menu and told her about not being able to taste the milder flavors in the other dishes. She quickly cleared the table and hurried off.
What I could taste was excellent. Everything was treated properly and true to the original dishes. However, the portions were embarrassingly small. We ended up spending nearly $50, including one beer each, and left hungry enough that we heated up some leftovers when we got home.
We're going to give them a month or so before we head back.

The Massachusetts Republican state Senator who narrowly lost his bid last year to unseat Democratic Rep. John Tierney is planning another go at the state's sixth Congressional District.
In a statement, former state Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei announced Monday that he had filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to form an exploratory committee. It is the first step in preparation for a possible 2014 rematch for Tierney's seat in the U.S. House.
"We need more responsible Republicans and fewer divisive Democrats in Washington who are willing to stop the name calling, put party aside, and begin to seriously work together to do what is right for America," Tisei said in the statement, blasting "the hyper-partisanship exhibited by both parties on a daily basis."
Tisei is well positioned for a midterm House bid. In 2012, the 26-year veteran of the state legislature lost to scandal-plagued Tierney by 3,600 votes out of over 350,000 cast, according to unofficial results.
Last month a congressional ethics panel decided not to investigate allegations that Tierney failed to report hundreds of thousands of dollars of his wife's income.
If Tisei manages to beat out the nine-term Tierney, he would become the first Republican to win a congressional seat in Massachusetts since 1994.

If it were me, I'd go with Felicity Francesca. It's very pretty, the flow is great. It's a fabulous choice
August Rodney has that double -aw- sound that I find unpleasant.
Between August Micah and August Shane, I'd probably pick Micah just to avoid the back to back S sound, but it's not too bad, so I really could go either way. The flow with Shane is slightly better because it's only 1 syllable.
I think I would base the decision on your surname. Does either set of initials spelling anything? ASS, ASK, ASP, ASO? AMI, AMY, AMO, AMP?Livy/Lucy : Geneva/Gwen : Coralie/Alice : Noelle/Eve
Eli/Bennett : Jude/Zane: Luke/Leo : Levi/Phineas

I'll throw in for August Micah, purely because of the appealing sound. I also like August Felix.
How would Elisa or Alicia sound to you as a way to Honor Felicia or maybe another name meaning happy like Blythe or Ilaria? Personally, Francesca Blythe or Francesca Ilaria both have a lot of appeal to me.

Well -- right now we're -- a big costs right now because our student loan borrowers and their parents.
-- they don't have the disposable income buy a home by a car start their own business so we're losing jobs right now by -- reducing the student loan debt.
My point is what this bill all the -- -- that's this requires a mandatory repayment of their student loans according to their income for a period of ten years.
By that time that loan is likely going to be paid off if there is they balance will likely be a very small balance that would then be eligible to be -- Yeah but that's why it -- -- want is what I don't understand the limit that you set though.
Is well above its more than 45000 dollars in average student line that now.
Is only 25000 dollars and when I said the tax Payer.
The federal government -- backs or loans the vast majority of student -- -- in this country so yeah you're forgetting that if you're forgiving that debt.
The taxpayer ends up eating that.
Well here's what happens the text here right now.

Robboy's Pathology of the Female Reproductive Tract, 2nd Edition
Expert Consult: Online and Print
In Stock
Diagnose female reproductive pathology with efficiency and precision
Table of ContentsNew to This Edition
Here is the newly revised and thoroughly up-dated second edition of the critically acclaimed Pathology of the Female Reproductive Tract. This lavishly illustrated text provides the surgical pathologist with all of the information necessary to effectively diagnose and confidently sign out gynecologic and obstetric reports. Whilst histopathologic features form the cornerstone of the book's diagnostic approach it also includes data from ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry and cytogenetics as well as the relevant clinical manifestations of gynecologic diseases. The book covers the full range of both common and rare benign and malignant lesions, and all entities are accompanied by well chosen photographs of outstanding quality. Wherever possible, the text is supplemented by summary tables, diagnostic flow charts, and analytic tables in order to facilitate rapid interpretation and accurate diagnosis.
Key Features
- Covers all benign and malignant disorders of the female genital tract to provide you with a comprehensive resource for use in the reporting room or in formal study.
- Offers a complete visual guide to each tumor or tumor-like lesion to assist you in the recognition and diagnosis of any tissue sample under the microscope with over 2500 high-quality, full-color illustrations.
- Provides expert advice on how to avoid diagnostic errors with practical advice on pitfalls in differential diagnosis.
- Integrates histopathologic features with data from ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry and cytogenetics and discussions of the relevant clinical manifestations of gynecological diseases to provide you with the necessary tools to make a comprehensive diagnostic workup.
- Features summary tables, diagnostic flow charts, and analytic tables to facilitate rapid interpretation and accurate diagnosis.
- Approaches definitions, clinical features, gross features, microscopic features, and differential diagnosis consistently and uniformly for quick and easy access to the information you need.
- Readers praise its readability and practicality for both daily and reference use by both the novice and experienced pathologist.
Published Reviews
"It is just right for a busy pathologist swamped in his or her daily practice with tons of surgical material." – Modern Pathology, review of previous edition
"With its striking use of color and its readability, Pathology of the Female Reproductive Tract has created a new niche. It represents a pleasing and relatively detailed exploration of gynecologic pathology with a wealth of information and illustrations for the resident in gynecology or pathology or for the practicing pathologist who would like diagnostic assistance when next confronted with a problematic gynecologic biopsy or resection specimen." – NEJM, review of previous edition
Related Links
- Additional use of user-friendly features such as bullet points, diagnostic flowcharts, decision-making algorithms, summary tables, take-home messages. Facilitates information retrieval in the reporting room and in a trainee's study. Saves the user time and enables more reports to be signed out, topics to be examined.
- Addition of a "road map" at the beginning of each chapter listing the topics that will be covered. Helps the user navigate his/her way through the book and to access the material more quickly and therefore saves valuable time by enabling the user to sign out more reports.
- Latest Classification and Staging systems included for all diseases and disorders of the female genital tract. Helps the pathologist provide the clinician with the most accurate and up-to-date diagnostic and prognostic indicators possible.
- Improved coverage of cytology in the cervical pathology chapters. More cytologic/histologic correlation, additional cytologic images, additional material on cytologic differential diagnosis. The integration of both histology and cytology reflects modern diagnostic practice and mimics the way pathologists actually approach a case in the reporting room.
- Introduction of three new names onto the editorial team. (Drs Mutter, Prat, Bentley) The second edition will benefit from a fresh perspective and will help ensure that the information doesn't become stale and repetitive.

please add me Its been a while since i ran any benchmarks so here is my effort Im currently running on win7 32bit and in dual channel on a tripple channel board but still seems to perform ok. g30rg1e|xfx gtx260|775/1275/1575|22095|i7 firstname.lastname@example.com
i just updated to the 196.21 drivers to find overclocking disabled within evga precision, no shader clock displayed either, a problem shared by others too after a quick google. Good job i did a bench before updating my display drivers
3dsage | HIS ICEQ 4 4850| 730/1050 |13929 |E5300 @ 4.16GHZ Not bad i guess , for a Pentium Dual core on Vista 64.
thx man, I did alittle more OC'ing last night and got this- http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=13059616 BarbaricSoul | XFX 5870 |950core/1250mem |22310 |Q9650 @ 4200MHz
Hello guys. Here is my result. I just did a quick test with the CPU O.C. only at 4.2GHZ TAViX | Gigabyte HD 5870 | 970core/1250RAM | 22758 | Core 2 Quad Q9650 @4200MHz
Yes, i got 23k with a single 280 before on this sytem. Thats a really nice run for an 8800GT. I got 15k stock 8800GTS on my rig and 14k with a 4850. Seems 4ghz is the sweet spot for 06. Little under my score with a less arch.
Please add me ) Now trying out New Gigabyte x58a-UD7 that arrived yesterday this was my third run..... skaerials|BFG GTX260-192|720/1280/1483|21061|i7 email@example.com
you need date in the corner, and then type in your result like this for example Brandonwh64|BFG GTX285|675|1282|21742|i7 firstname.lastname@example.com
I think its the 64-bit os/s that hold back the scores xp vs 64 bit, is like a 500-700 pt difference from what ive seen.
There is my last Bench trial. Maybe ill do higher CPU/GPU clock but this is what i got for the momment.
You deff need a higher clock on the 285. Lol a guy with a 9550 (i believe) has almost the same score as you and an i7 at freakin 4.1ghz.

No RED yet, but I have an Arri MB20 and a Cooke 20-100 t3.1 that are available for rental. Located in Los Angeles.
No RED yet, but I have an Arri MB20 and a Cooke 20-100 t3.1 that are available for rental. Located in Los Angeles.
From my tests anything smaller then a 6x6 MB vinettes with a 20-100. The MB20 is a 4x5.6 I believe?
The MB-20 [II] should accept 5.65x5.65. But yes, anything less than a 6" filter will get in the way on the Cooke 20-100 or 18-100 lenses. The front element is 153mm (or was it 156mm?). Either way 153mm = roughly 6".
I don't know about the older 20-100, but I think it's the same as the 18-100 and it takes drop-in filters. Drop in NDs and a 6" flat front are all you need with this lens. Oh and the sun shade.
Edit> I just checked, the front is 150mm on the 18-100. If you're serious about putting a mattebox in front of one of these zooms, I'd look at the MB-14.
What's the rate? Cooke 20-100 t3.1
This doesn't make sense. The 5.65's were made for this sort of application and the clip-on for the Vocas with its 5.65 is apparently designed specifically to accommodate the 20-100.
Finner, what exactly did your tests entail?
Jeff, the 20-100 has a 144mm front. 144mm = 5.66929134 inches. I think there's enough clearance there.
Thread has been moved to the appropriate forum...
Cinewalt, Good to know about the front on the 20-100, so it is smaller than the 18-100. At 144mm, I could see where 5.65 might still vignette when full wide or depending on the mattebox itself.
I'll ask my lens guy if he knows how much of the lens front is within effective shooting range. I mean, it doesn't make sense for the 4 corners of the image to actually touch that 144mm perimeter - my guess would be 10 - 20% of the diameter of the lens goes unused.
I have a 20-100 and have been looking into 5.65 matteboxes, so this is suddenly a concern for me!
What's the rental rate? Cooke 20-100 t3.1
The Cooke 20-100 rents for $120/day or $320/week. The Arri matte box rents for $50/day or $150/week. I'll throw the lense/matte box on a couple 35mm cameras and let you know if they vignette. It'll be next week before I can get to that though.

Well, it's happened to me again. And, guess where? In a national park.
Early this spring, we decided to head north from the logic refuge we've established for ourselves in Colorado to see Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse carving, Buffalo Bill Cody's namesake Wyoming town, and Yellowstone. Things were going well until we got to Yellowstone—logic-wise, that is.
Yellowstone Park is a big and beautiful place, and the Old Faithful Inn, where we stayed, is a 100-year-old classic worth seeing. One can't expect too much, however, and we didn't, in a setting and facility that were very reminiscent of summer camp. Perhaps because the place was so devoid of any distracting modern conveniences, not much would be required to push you over the edge. That, plus a fact that all visitors choose to ignore. The Old Faithful Inn is built on top of a super volcano that erupts every 600,000 years or so and (you can find buried in the literature) last did so about 600,000 years ago. We stayed one night, expressing the kind of actuarial reasoning that makes us such good enterprise risk managers: Don't push your luck.
The room we had was only nearly 100 years old as it was in the new addition built in the "teens." The beds and mattresses were, I think, original equipment. There was a small radiator, and for air conditioning you opened the window. We had lost cell phone service
hours before, when we first entered the park. There was nothing else in the room
unless you wanted to count the clock. So, in complete sensory deprivation, I maneuvered toward the bathroom, and that's where I saw the soap.
In a box with a hole in it was a bar of soap with a hole in it. The center of the bar of soap, the part that the box claimed goes unused, was missing as the result of what the box termed an ergonomi-cally shaped "waste reducing" design. In effect, this soap (using an analogy that I realize may be unsuitable for an environmental product) killed two birds with one stone. That is, it was both big

Hollywood Headlines: A week in review
Shia LaBeouf drops acid, Beyonce's singing causes controversy and Prince Harry talks about his nudity incident in this week's Hollywood Headlines.
Image 9 of 9
Beyonce fans not silent on lip-synch critics( Getty Images )
High-profile vocalists, including 2009 presidential inauguration singer Aretha Franklin, are coming to Beyonce Knowles' defense since the singer came under fire for reportedly lip-synching "The Star Spangled Banner" at President Obama's inauguration Monday.
"When I heard the news this evening that she was prerecorded, I really laughed," Franklin told ABC News. "I thought it was funny because the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees, and for most singers that is just not good singing weather." The 70-year-old Queen of Soul said Beyonce "did a beautiful job with the prerecord ... next time I'll probably do the same."
If Beyonce did sing along to a prerecorded vocal track while performing the famously tricky national anthem, the 31-year-old singer would be far from the first.

Vol. XXV, No. 6 February 24, 1955 EDUCATION IN ACTION MESSAGE FROM ADMINISTRATION In a document of 1,021 pages, Governor Harriman has presented the "Executive Budg-et" to the Legislature. This document pro-vides the financial underpinning for the opsratiom of all kinds of activities financed by the State, f r om April 1, 1955 to March 31, 1956. Included are 4 pages devoted to the Institute. It takes a lot of money to operate the Institute for a year—$1,260,000, in round figures. The larger part of this—over a million dollars— goes for salaries and wages of all kinds. The balance is for what is termed "Maintenance and Opera-tion". The largest item in this category is for Fuel and Power, as you would expect—$60,000. The news of particular interest in the Governor's Budget relates to our building program. Here we have an item of $520,000 for a Frozen Food Laboratory Building, to be devoted to instruction i n pro-cessing, packaging and merchan-dising fi 'ozen foods.

Pete, who was a student here at LIATI not too long ago, moved into the job of Woody Plants Culture Instructor at which he has been doing an excellent job. Now, to our regret, he is going to leave our campus to take on a job of re-search out in Ohio. Pete is a man with an insatiable curicusity about plants. An in-structor whose greatest desire is to arouse the interest of his stu-dents and instill into them his great love and unconcealed ad-miration for plants, be they the humble lichen or the highly de-veloped rose; the simple, the beauti-ful.

It was at the end of this talk that the air grew tense because we all knew that it was time for the awards of merit to be pre-sented. Each Senior asked himself, "I wonder if I'll get one?" I am very happy to report that all the Senior members an the Staff re-ceived their award of merit. Some of those who received the awards were: Leo Guliano, Editor-in- Chief; John Birkentall, News Editor; Judy Goldenblum, Feature Editor; Frank Abate, Exchange Editor; Elliott Donner, Sports Edi-tor and Stan Zelazny, Circulation.

A trip to the Hort Building and the Institute's Greenhouses gives ample evidence of this. Exhibits in flowers and gardening are featured. Sum-mer flowering plants and lilacs forming buds, rhododendrons and azaleas sprout to bloom, and a birch tree coming into leaf all show promise of a June garden in February. Indoor gardens for Long Island homes and a number of fine terrariums and dish gardens are also featured, noi to mention the beautiful floral arrangements that are on display. Other exhibits that can be seen on the main campus includes a dairy cattle f i t t i n g and showman-ship contest, an exhibit of latest models of tractors and farm ma-chinery, a display of products and photographs from other countries presented by Students From Other Lands, and a special food exhibit, "The Food We Eat", which depicts vegetable and salad gardens, chemi-cal and other additives in modern foods exhibit, and new develop-ments in frozen foods. The theme for the Industrial Division's Open House is Tech-nology on Display. Many new de-velopments in automotive engines and power transmissions, a full-sized house under construction, f i d e l i ty and sound system demon-strations, and X-ray examinations of metals.
