Market Overview
Selecting the right commercial office space for your business in San Francisco is a challenging task. There are a number of options and configurations of offices to choose from, and narrowing them all down to the right option for your business is a daunting task. However, making your choice is easier when you have a few vital pieces of information.
The office address is perhaps the most important consideration when you are trying to find office space. In San Francisco, you will find many major office buildings along Market Street, from the Tenderloin through Downtown. The largest office buildings are in the Financial District near the waterfront. This area is home to several large banks and brokerages, and not surprisingly, the rent is higher than it is in outlying areas. In addition, there are plenty of high-rise office spaces in the Downtown area itself. For smaller office buildings, the Mission District provides an ideal office address in the heart of the city while surrounded by other professionals. Rent in San Francisco is notoriously high, so there are other options if you don't need a full office space set up.
Quarter 1 of 2011 ended with a vacancy rate of 14.5% and an availability rate of 17.6%. Those rates are down for both the quarter and the year. There is no planned construction through the remainder of the year so expect the vacancy rate to continue to drop. Direct lease rates also continued to rise through the 1st quarter, which was 4th straight quarter posting a rise in rates, and at the end of the quarter averaged $32.25 per square foot per year.
A shared office provides you with the opportunity to have a physical office, but the tenants split the expenses associated with maintaining the office. You can either arrange to have access to the office on a full-time basis or only on specific days of the week. The advantages of this kind of arrangement are the savings in rent and the ability to present a professional office to clients when necessary.

Buying a Fondation / basment repair bill
My Wife and I Want to buy this house built in 1860 single story < 1000sq ft. The price is $40K with an passible good condition value at about $50K.
However I know a few things I need advise on. the front (west- upgrade) bassment wall (~28') and the Noth side wall (~20') are bowed in and in places not even touching the Sill beam.
the original wall was made out of flat Stone and some one tried to fix the problem by building a cement block wall around the inside of the basement.
I know that If we get the house we will need to dig out the north and west wall, remove the old wall(s) and put in new walls with a good drain system Not to mention replace sections of the Sill that are in decay.
I'm not asking for an estamate but a ball park cost. Will it likely cost more then the $40K asking price or $5K, $10K, $20K. Is this a really bad idea or would it be worth it for the right price?
We want to live there, we want to do alot of the work ourselves. We love the location and the lot with the little brook running by (the stream >40' away and is lower than the basment floor)
The repair cost is totally dependent on exactly what you want done.
The problems you describe could be fixed in a few different ways.
On the low end, I still see a project this size going for around 10,000
On the high end, if you replace the floor, more than 2 walls, 20,000+
In this area, a new standard basement can cost over 20k for the same size you have. I am sure you could find someone who would take whatever you can pay.
You'll be seriously close to, or past the value of the home in your total investment. In this housing market, I believe you could find something else with far less potential for disaster or bankruptcy.
Thanks for your feed back. I believe I can use the high cost of repair and the other factors to the house being for sale to get it reduced enough to break even on total investment. We do intend to live there and though it is scary, I am not afraid as long as I know what is coming and can make offers based on that and a home inspection
I am a home inspector and an engineer.
For your situation, make sure your home inspector is qualified for "heavy duty" structural and not just the minimum casual observations like" the floor slopes, but is O.K."
If one is not qualified, also hire a structural engineer. The obvious damage to the foundation is one thing. When a foundation moves and removes support, there is an effect of the house that was sitting on the foundation. There may be long term problems with the frame structure that are not as obvious as the foundation. With a new foundation, you can expect cracks in walls when everything is made level again.
1. I realize that cracks in the wall, broken windows, roof leaks, Doors jamed in frame.
2 In this case all the walls in side need attention anyway
3 windows are old and the kind that crank open like in mobile homes and will be replaced.
4 the shingle roof seems in pretty good shape, no visible leaks, but we are thinking a new galvanized roof would be nice.
5 No internal doors 'cept the bathroom.
Also when whoever put in the second wall on the inside of the stone wall they decided to raise and support one of the beams going from the center to the sill and not the sill with the new block.
Thanks a bunch
Hey look...another Home Inspector.:D
Also look at why the soil moves like Mudmixer touched on. Is there a water or seismic issue ...or is this just plain old soil settlement.
Get an Inspector with an extensive background in your situation. Ask around for Home inspector professional groups or just get an engineer before you buy anything. The engineer will be more expensive.
You get the knowledge you pay for.:D

How to Set up your Podcast
Setting up a new podcast is easy with Hipcast. Posting to the podcast is even easier, and we syndicate for you to several popular podcast directories, including the Hipcast Podcast Directory.
To create a podcast feed, follow the steps below. The audio or video you post will exist in the feed, not on a web site or blog in the traditional manner.
Step 1: Select the "Podcast" tab in your account and "New Podcast."
Step 2: Fill in the Name and Description
The name of your podcast is what you would like to call your podcast and what your users will be looking for in podcast directories and on iTunes.
Step 3: Choose your optional Album Art
If you have an art image you would like to use for your Album Art that will appear on your syndicated podcast, you can upload it to your feed in this step. Click on Choose your File and navigate to the saved file on your computer. The Album art may be from 170x170 to 1400x1400 pixels square, and should be a JPEG or GIF file only. All other file types will not work.
For this example, I chose a 100x100 pixel .jpg file, but you can choose one up to 1400x1400 pixels square. iTunes has recently changed their preferences for album art, you are not required to have the large 1400x1400 pixel album art. Podcasts which are to be featured in the iTunes Store are required to have the larger 1400x1400 pixel album art, it is still optional for all others.
If you choose not to upload an image, the default Hipcast icon will be displayed in place of one you upload.
Step 4: Misc Information
If you would like your podcast listeners to see the url for your website in the podcast information, list it here. Do not place your website url in the podcast redirect below, as that will disable the podcast feed.
You can also list copyright information for the your podcast, and list an email address for listeners to be able to contact you. Select the Max# of episodes to be shown on the podcast feed. The default setting is 25, any updates after the 25th episode will not be listed.
Step 5: Media RSS and Syndication
If you would like to syndicate your podcast, here is where you'll make the selections to do that. Some services require that the Media RSS extensions be activated such as Brightcove, blip.tv, Blinkx, Bebo Open Media Platform, Cooliris, deviantArt, FriendFeed, Gmail, Kaltura, NewsTex, PicasaAPI, SmugMug, thePlatform, Wikipedia and Yahoo! Search. If you are syndicating your podcast selecting Yes here is recommended.
You can keep your podcast private and just publish it on your own webpage if you chose, but if you are looking for a wider audience, we can automatically syndicate your podcast. Chose "Yes, Syndicate my podcast!!" if you would like this option. We will then automatically submit the feed to the most current feeds being used by PingOMatic. To check and see where Pingomatic is syndicating, check their website, as they are constantly updating and keeping the list current. PingOMatic
Step 6: Podcast Redirection
If you wish to redirect your RSS feed through a service such as Feedburner to track your podcasting stats, place the redirect url here. Adding any other type of web redirect may disable your podcast feed, so use this with caution. For instance, if you wish to direct your listeners to your webpage after listening to your podcast, place your url in the field above in "Misc Information", "Website URL".
Click on "Save Changes Now". Congratulations, you have set up your Podcast feed! If you need to make changes to any of the information click on the "Edit Podcast" tab.
Now that you have a podcast feed set up, you will be able to add posts, and then submit the feed to syndicated podcast directories and iTunes.
iTunes' new requirements
Thank you to everyone who let us know about iTunes' updated requirements. Hipcast already supports Byte Range Requests and you will not need to change anything on your setup to keep your podcast on iTunes. We will support the new image sizes, but they are not required by iTunes for your podcast to keep working, and you don't need to upload a new image. iTunes only requires the larger image if you are featuring your podcast in the iTunes store.
We are working on several updates including support for the larger image sizes in iTunes, coming soon.
Podcast Directory Home Page
You can now give your users a link to your podcast page in our Podcast Directory. All of your podcast episodes are also available on the page so your listeners have instant access to all of your episodes.

We've set up a new way to deliver your podcast episodes to your subscribers and potential fans without depending on iTunes or podcast directories.
How to set up your podcast page:
The first thing you need to do if you want to have control over your podcast comments section is link your Facebook account with us.

Select the podcast that you want to make a podcast page for and navigate to the "Podcast Page (BETA)" tab depicted below.
You will see a link to the first and last podcast episode on this page. We didn't include a link to all your podcast episodes because some of your podcasts number in the thousands. You can, however, navigate to any of those individual episode pages through your podcast page, so check it out!
If you ever want to remove the comments section from your podcast, you can click the radio button at the bottom of the page.

As a native of North Carolina with more than 30 years of experience working in restaurants, pit boss Vernon Griffin knows the difference between cooked pork and proper barbecue. He incorporates influences from North Carolina?style barbecue, hickory-smoking and slow-cooking the meats until they?re shot through with bold flavor and tenderness. His menu of down-home favorites, like Buffalo Bill's lunchbox, is full of hand-pulled pork, smoked brisket, and Brunswick stew, simmered for hours.
Owners Jerry and Kathy Hart opened Ole Time Barbecue in 1993; for Jerry, it was the fruition of a meaty dream. As a small child he helped his grandfather Quillie cook barbecue, learning patience as well as the family recipe in the slow-cooking process. The menu stands as a testament to Quillie's traditions. Classic dinners such as the hand-chopped barbecue pork plate and barbecue chicken, fried chicken, and country-style steak (all items $6.99 regular, $7.99 large) please any palate. Combination dinners are available for $9.99 each; all dinners are served with two sides (choose from Southern classics such as fried apple sticks, fried okra, and collards) and Ole Time's famously delicious hushpuppies. For morning birds, breakfast is available from 6 a.m.–10 a.m.
At Remington Grill, guests dine on Texas-sized portions while surrounded by scenes from the Old West, including hand-painted wall murals depicting cowboys and their noble steeds, horses and velociraptors. In keeping with the casual theme, patrons order and pick up their meals at the counter. They then head to the tables balancing plates loaded with half-pound ground-chuck burgers, hickory-smoked ribs, beans and slaw, and massive fries hand cut from Idaho potatoes. They can also stop at the free fixin's bar to pile on the toppings.
At Teriyakin' we are dedicated to providing Fresh, Quality, and Healthy food choices to all of our customers. We select fresh quality meats and vegetables as we know this produces the best flavors. Our Teriyakin' sauces and dressing are made from fresh ingredients and we never use any MSG or additives to enhance our flavor
Dixie Belle's Bar-B-Q's meats, such as a platter of juicy pulled pork ($7.99), spend 3–12 hours soaking up flavor vapors from slow-burning hickory logs to acquire their telltale pink inner rings and alluringly husky voices. A half slab of ribs slathered in homemade sauce ($8.99) keeps the wet-nap industry flourishing, and sandwiches count among their ranks the Western ($6), a hunk of flame-nuzzled beef brisket accompanied by mushrooms, sautéed onions, horseradish mayo, and the score of a Sergio Leone movie. The menu mates most dishes with a choice of more than a dozen flavorful fixins, which include fried okra, collard greens, and cinnamon apples; fixins are also available in dinner-size half-pint ($1.99), pint ($3.49), or quart ($6.49) servings.
Great food in a laid back atmoshphere. Come by and enoy our signature BBQ along with Hand Patted Angus Burgers, Succulent Ribs, Healthy Salads, Hand Cut Fries, House Potato Chips, & our Famous Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wings.

End of Shutter Lag? The Contax SL300R T* Might Be the Sign of Good Things to Comeby Derrick Story
I am a big fan of digital point-and-shoot cameras, and usually have one with me wherever I go. Most of today's pocketables feature 3- or 4-megapixel resolution, quality optics, lots of handy functions ... and an annoying dose of shutter lag. You know, the demon that delays capturing the decisive moment until it's no longer decisive. Shutter lag is the number one complaint I receive about pocketable digicams in my photo workshops.
My hope has always been that shutter lag is just an annoying stop along digital photography's evolutionary path. It's like that coffee shop in the middle of nowhere where the service is way too slow.
Fortunately, the pace is picking up. All of the big camera makers seem focused on improving performance. At the moment, Kyocera has forged ahead of the pack with a technology called RTUNE that not only shortens shutter lag, but enables you to capture images at more than 3 frames per second until the memory card is full. As an added benefit, you can record 640 x 480 QuickTime movies at 30fps. They've packed all of this power into cameras that barely bulge the shirt pocket.
When I attended the Photo Marketing Association show in Las Vegas last month, a stop at the Kyocera booth was high on my To Do list. I spent some time testing the cameras that have RTUNE, including the FINECAM SL300R, the FINECAM S5R, and my personal favorite of the bunch, the Contax SL300R T*, which is the subject of today's testing.
The Contax SL300R T* is a 3.2-megapixel shirt pocket digicam that weighs 4.4 ounces (125 grams). In addition to RTUNE technology, the camera includes a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* zoom lens (38mm - 115mm equivalent), 1.5" DayFine LCD (works in bright sunlight), SD memory card capability, filter adapter, lens hood, and a magnesium alloy body that twists for a variety of camera shooting angles. It is almost the exact same length and width as an iPod, but thinner and weighs less.
The electronics in the Contax are essentially the same as the Kyocera FINECAM SL300R. If you find yourself tempted by this review of the Contax, but don't want to pay the premium $499 price tag for it, you can buy the Kyocera model for over $100 less. You don't get the Carl Zeiss lens and the leather exterior, but you do get the body design and RTUNE image processing. Kyocera has also announced a 4-megapixel version of the FINECAM "twister," so you might want to investigate that one, too.

Digital Photography Hacks
I will talk more about the specific camera features later in the article, but to begin I want to explore RTUNE and see if it indeed leaves shutter lag in the dust.
What Is RTUNE and How Does it Work?
Apparently the Contax is an adept multitasker. Kyocera's Rapid Tuning technology takes advantage of parallel processing to essentially eliminate the need for an image buffer. As you take pictures, the information is processed in real-time and sent to both the memory card and the LCD monitor. That's right, as you're clicking away at 3+ frames per second, the image is displayed on your monitor at that same rate. There isn't monitor blackout while the camera processes the image. This is incredible to experience firsthand. I found myself shooting a few hundred frames just for the fun of it.
An important component in this process is the memory card itself. To reap the benefits of RTUNE, you need to use a high-speed memory card such as the SanDisk Ultra II SD card that has a sustained write speed of 9 MBs per second. Kyocera states that any SD card that can maintain a speed of 7.7 MBs per second will work with their RTUNE technology. Lexar and Panasonic also make compatible memory for the Contax.
The card literally becomes part of the equation as data is pipelined to it from the processor. The bad news is that you have to add the price of one or more of these high-speed cards to the overall cost of the camera. I've been using 256MB Ultras ($85 each) because I can get two of them cheaper than one 512MB card ($200 each). In fact, Contax doesn't bother to include any media card with the camera (I guess there's no such thing as a high-speed 16MB card), so be sure to figure in one or two Ultras for the total price of this camera.
RTUNE provides more than just fast frame rate. The camera processes much of the image information at the analog stage first, before converting it to a digital signal. Kyocera claims that this improves how the picture looks, too. Image noise, for example, is reduced by first adjusting RGB colors at 16 bits before outputting it digitally at 12 bits.
In my own informal testing I found that there seems to be some truth to this claim, as long as you keep your ISO setting to 100. When you boost the ISO to 200, 400, or 800, image noise seemed about the same as most other high-end digicams.
Take a look at this picture I took at the O'Reilly campus recently, on a beautiful day following a Pacific storm. The image was captured by hand-holding the Contax at ISO 100 with the aperture set at f-7.5.
I then opened the picture to 100 percent in Photoshop and cropped out a 320 x 240 rectangle from the sky. As you know, sky is one of the easiest areas to detect image noise, especially when viewing the picture on a high-resolution computer monitor at 100 percent. If you look at the cropped segment of the sky, you'll see that there isn't much image noise, and that the quality is quite good.
Another area where I noticed this robust image-processing was when analyzing the 640 x 480 movies shot with the Contax at 30fps. Video captured in good lighting revealed tremendous detail in each frame. Quite an accomplishment for a camera only 6mm thick that fits in your top shirt pocket.
RTUNE also shortens startup time to what Kyocera claims is less than a second. I have to admit startup is darn fast. In fact, one of the great ironies is that you have the option to set a custom startup screen for the Contax. The only problem is that the startup screen is subliminal at best, and only appears for the blink of an eye before the camera is ready for action.
But the real biggie is shutter lag itself. Kyocera says that they've reduced shutter lag to 0.07 seconds. Technically that may be true, but in real-world use the camera still has to focus and determine exposure before recording the image.
I decided to put the Contax up against the Canon PowerShot S400, an excellent pocketable digicam in its own right. The Contax has faster startup time and definitely outperforms the Canon in burst mode (including not blacking out the monitor as the Canon does during firing), but the shutter lag competition was a closer contest.
The S400's 9-point AiAF auto-focus system combined with DIGIC processing enabled the camera to lock in on the subject quickly and fire off a fast exposure, sometimes beating the Contax to the punch. A good performance indeed by Canon.
This scenario changed however when I turned off auto-focusing, by putting both cameras in Landscape mode (locking the focus at infinity). This is when RTUNE processing power prevailed and the Contax consistently fired off an exposure before the Canon S400.
The bottom line, however, is that there's more to shutter lag than just image processing. How fast the camera focuses and determines exposure seems as important as image processing speed. Maybe this is one of the reasons that Kyocera has included a full manual focusing mode for the Contax, enabling you to set and lock in the focus at any distance. Once you do this, RTUNE takes over and produces extremely fast performance.
But for everyday shooting with auto-focus turned on, high-end digicams such as the Canon S400 compare favorably with the Contax. All of today's top camera makers are striving to provide relief from shutter lag. To do so requires improvement in all areas of the picture-taking sequence. If for example, you could combine Canon's speedy focusing with Kyocera's image processing, you'd have one hot little digicam.
Other Features of the Contax SL300R T*
I've been carrying around the Contax to test its performance in different lighting situations. But along the way I've enjoyed getting to know some of its other features.
This camera definitely has personality. Here are some of the things that I find quite charming.
- DayFine LCD Monitor -- If you don't provide an optical viewfinder, as Kyocera doesn't here, then your LCD better be good. The DayFine is darn good and viewable in all types of lighting situations.
- Multiple Shooting Angles -- The twist design is great for holding the camera at waist level or over your head for a variety of shooting angles. You can even turn the lens around for self portraits, and see yourself in the monitor while doing so.
- Aperture Priority at f-2.8 and f-7.5 -- If you want to control your depth of field, you need to be able to set the aperture. The Contax allows you to choose either f-2.8 (wide open for reduced depth of field) or f-7.5 (closed down for extended depth).
- Filter Ring -- When's the last time you put a polarizer filter on your point-and-shoot digicam? The Contax ships with a ring that allows you to attach 28mm filters. Now I always have a polarizer with me.
- QuickTime Movies -- You can capture 320 x 240 or 640 x 480 QuickTime movies at 15 or 30 fps. Shoot until the card fills up. You can record audio, too. Very impressive performance.
- UI that I Can Understand -- The user interface is so easy to use you don't even need the owner's manual. The menus are a joy to read.
- SD Memory Cards -- I like the versatility of Secure Digital cards. If you have a Palm-powered device such as a Tungsten or Treo, you can pull the SD card out of the Contax and pop it in the PDA for a larger viewing of your pictures. I prefer the Resco Photo Viewer over the bundled Palm photo application. With the Resco app you have a mini photo studio in your PDA that enables basic image editing, slide shows with transitions, and even EXIF data output.
- In-camera Image Cropping and Resizing -- You can create email-friendly copies of your pictures right in the camera. The Contax enables basic cropping and resizing to 320 x 240 or 160 x 120. Your original image is left untouched. I often resize pictures to 320 x 240 for faster viewing on the Palm. The resampled images are put in a folder named RESIZE so they're easy to find.
- Voice Memos -- You can add high-quality voice memos up to 30 seconds to accompany your pictures. The Contax saves the audio as 16-bit WAV files. You can listen to the memos via the camera's built-in speaker, using any computer application that plays WAV, such as QuickTime. Or, for big-time fun, insert the SD card into your Palm Powered device (Palm OS 5.0 or later) and listen to the audio using Wave Edit Pro 1.2. I use this software on a Tungsten T2 and like the audio so much that I now consider the Contax a voice recording tool as well as a camera and mini videocam. As a bonus, Wave Edit Pro displays the wave form on the screen and lets you actually edit the audio file and save it back to the card. This is way too much fun.
- DPOF Printing -- There's a full DPOF print menu that enables you to connect the Contax directly to printers and control the output via the menu on the camera.
- Mass Storage Device -- No need for special drivers because this camera is also a Mass Storage Device and shows up as a NO NAME drive on both Mac and Windows computers.
Quick Side Note -- In my new book, Digital Photography Hacks, I show you how to edit the QuickTime video these cameras produce, manage the audio, and even create rolling titles with just your text editor and a few simple tags -- and that's only a handful of the 100 industrial strength hacks I include. These new pocket digicams have so much capability for you to tap into once you have the knowledge.
Oddities and Shortcomings
The Contax SL300R T* certainly takes its share of risks, and most of them pay off handsomely. But it also has a few quirks. Here are the items that you should be aware of if you're considering giving this camera a spin.
- Bundled Software -- Adobe Photoshop Album comes bundled with the Contax. If you're a Windows user, this could be an entry in the benefits list because Album is a terrific imaging application. Mac users, however, are essentially left out in the cold.
- No Panorama Mode -- You'll have to line up your panoramas manually because there's no pano mode on the Contax.
- No Tripod Socket -- Not that I could tell you where a tripod socket would fit on this diminutive beauty, but there isn't one. You might want to consider getting a photo beanbag from Porter's Camera Store. They only cost about $6 and are versatile camera supports, especially for digicams without tripod sockets.
- Lightweight Battery Performance -- Better add the cost of a spare battery ($50) onto the price of the camera. In my real-world testing, the BP-780S, 3.7 volt Lithium Ion battery only lasted about half as long as the battery for the Canon S400. And that's not because you have to shoot with the LCD monitor on for the Contax, because I shoot that way with the Canon as well.
- No A/V Output -- If you want to share your pictures on the big screen, you have to upload to the computer first. There's no A/V output enabling you to show your slide shows directly from the camera to a television monitor.
- Not Much Macro -- The Zeiss Tessar lens performs very well at normal shooting distances, but the design doesn't allow for getting close to your subjects. Not only do you have to keep the camera about a foot away from the subject, but you're forced to use the wide-angle setting for macro mode. The images are sharp, but certainly this isn't exactly what I'd call close-up photography.
Final Thoughts
The Contax SL300R T* has certainly rekindled my enthusiasm for pocket digicam photography. It is responsive and the images are crisp. I've found myself shooting with it at waist level a lot, which enables me to hold the camera more steady and minimizing camera shake. Movie mode, voice recording, in-camera editing, and compatibility with SD card PDAs put a lot of power in your hand for not many ounces.
As for the specific issue of shutter lag, I'd say this camera has great potential, depending on how you use it. If you pre-focus, it certainly is a speed demon. But the auto-focus system does slow down the effectiveness of RTUNE technology. Rapid firing at over 3 fps is amazing, however, as is full-frame-rate movies.
We may finally be entering an era where shutter lag in pocket digicams is fading in the rearview mirror. The Contax SL300R T* and the other RTUNE models made by Kyocera provide a glimpse into what is possible, and hopefully, what will be commonplace among all digital cameras very soon.

contax sl300rt and hmmmn 5mg dsct1-sony
2004-04-14 20:21:22 bwitchd [View]
I am brand and user loyal big time to contax-re my real film slrs--ya the huge ones that took beautiful selectable any way you want pictures,, and oh man that lens--grin ya a foot long to get at what ?? 100mm something like that--lens attachment-- yiiiikes what we used before digital--and trust me I** had some muscles for this 100lb blonde luggin that photo equip all over the place--
anyway I have been all over exploring the tiniest cameras--looking for distance , photo quality, abilities-- so I can keep the camera always with me--
now I had kinda decided on the dsct1 by sony for the above reasons,, and I stopped into national camera exchange to look around-- (man screwed me up) so there was the little sony which I had researched and hunted for the best pricing etc,,
549.00 plus tax.. unless i get online--
k so I played with it a bit looked around to see what else might be there-- uh oh--
hey whats that-- I didnt know contax even made that tiny one--
damn-- I say-- I trust contax-- I like contax--
I like the feel of this better than sony--..but they are withing 50.00 of each other and the sony is a 5mg pix,, and the contax is 3.1 so which is really the better choice???
it isnt like they will let me take and try 'em each for a week to see which is the one I want--
the focal length is also the same--
help me help me figure this out!!!!
actually the only thing holding me back is pretty much the mg pix-- so far--
who is more user friendly--who is less expensive to use in the long run, and who takes the best pictures??
they both have the zeis lens's too---
help me people !!!!
btw loved your article too and I am definately
going to explore all your site and may even get your book!!! grin--
SO HELP ME OUT HERE!!! grin* thank ya!!

RE: contax sl300rt and hmmmn 5mg dsct1-sony
2004-04-15 17:29:44 Derrick Story | [View]
Whenever anyone asks me about megapixels, I respond with another question: How big of prints do you make?
In this case, if you plan on making enlargements bigger than 8" x 10" with your pocket digicam, then I would say go with the Sony. 5 megapixels will get you up to 11x14.
But if most of your work remains on the computer, or is 8 x 10 or smaller, I really like the Contax. They both have Zeiss zooms, true, but the electronics of the SL300RT* are actually tuned to the lens. When you shoot at ISO 100, this is apparent, at least to my eyes.
Both the Sony and the Contax are very good cameras. One uses SD, the other Memory Stick. Figure out what you want out of the purchase, print wise, and I think that's your answer.
photo quality
2004-03-29 23:18:01 rishio [View]
Anyone know how the quality of the photos taken in this contax camera compares to the quality of a canon s400? The main problem I have with the s400 is that it lacks basic semi-manual features such as portrait or sports mode. I am assuming that the contax has a way to quickly switch to some basic photo setting such as these... true?
Re: photo quality
2004-03-30 10:47:29 Derrick Story | [View]
First off, I want to say that the Canon S400 is a great camera. I have one are like it a lot. The image quality of the S400 is on par with the Contax. At ISO 100, I'd say that the Contax has a little less image noise because of RTUNE. But from ISO 200 on, it's a horse race.
The S400 has a better macro mode. You can frame things much tighter than with the Contax. When I have to grab a quick closeup, I usually grab the Canon.
But the Contax is a better street shooter because you draw less attention with it by holding it at waist level or any other angle for that matter. Its movie mode and burst modes are better than any point and shoot I've ever tested.
The Contax also has those shooting modes you inquired about -- Sports, Portrait, Night View, Night Portrait, Macro, and Landscape. The S400 doesn't have Sports and Portrait, but it does have the others. It just spreads them throughout various menus while the Contax lists them all under the Scene menu.
The Contax has a manual focus mode that allows you to choose from 5 positions on a scale.It also has Spot and Wide Spot auto focusing. I use Wide Spot most of the time.
The one thing I find myself using a lot lately is the in-camera editing function that allows me to crop and sample down images. It saves a copy of the image (your original hires is safe) to a different directory on the SD card. I then put the SD card in my Palm T2, navigate to the resampled directory (appropriately called RESIZE), and copy the images I like to the Palm's internal memory. I can do this while waiting for my dinner and never have to touch the computer. Because the resampled images are only 320 x 240, that take hardly any memory on my Palm.
I can also use the Palm to send any of the images off the SD card -- hires or low -- via Bluetooth to another device. I'm currently working on an article that covers all of this stuff. I should have it ready to go the first week of April...
It's all quite fun :)
2004-03-25 22:53:26 eichin [View]
Reading this article inspired me to do some followup research, ending with my own SL300RT* showing up today :-) It makes a worthy replacement for the Canon S200. I haven't missed the tripod mount - shooting with the camera "flat" makes up for it, and actually takes better "dashboard movies" than I'd ever managed with a conventional mount. The ability to directly couple to a 28mm ring is a major win, even if the adaptor is plastic - it works surprisingly well with an 8x zoom scope for extra range. (Google even finds one site with one of these cameras on a real telescope, taking moon shots in daylight...)
The one thing I'm still looking for - the S200 (and S110) could store an "owner" name in an EXIF tag - it was a convenient place to stuff an email address, especially for photos that circulate on the net. Having a "real" USB connector and generic drive mode is more than worth it, but is there a trick I've missed, or is tagging afterwards the best I can do?
Re: Thanks! Adding Metadata
2004-03-26 19:50:35 Derrick Story | [View]
You're most welcome. I'm sure you're going to enjoy shooting with this camera. I have some business in San Francisco tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to filling up an SD card using the Contax. Btw: I'm really getting hooked on the waist level shooting. It feels so much more comfortable.
I looked into the "owner name" question, and I do have a slick post processing trick if you have Photoshop CS (or 7 too I think). If you go to File > File Info, you can enter lots of metadata that persists with the image. I tried building an Action that would automatically enter this info for me, and it worked. So I ran the Automate command on an entire folder, and it processed an entire folder of images really fast.
I'm sure there is shareware that will handle this too, and maybe someone can chime in with some ideas.

I love my SL300RT, and working on iphoto has been a breeze. But I'm having trouble with movies. I shot a movie, it looks great on the camera. How do I download to my imac? (I probably need "student driver" directions.) My card is a Sandisk Ultra11 512, the one I see most often recommended.
2004-03-21 17:34:47 kshortfl [View]
Great review! This is exactlly the camera I've been looking for. however, I was wondering if this camera works with iPhoto?
2004-03-25 13:08:15 carl_stawicki [View]
I was interested in knowing this myself, so I contacted their support, and they said yes, it does work with iPhoto. I'm seriously considering this camera also.
RE: iPhoto? -- You bet!
2004-03-25 14:21:15 Derrick Story | [View]
Works great with iPhoto. When you plug it in the USB port, iPhoto identifies it as "IOUSBCompositeDevice" and happily imports all the pictures. In the metadata for the images, iPhoto correctly identifies the camera as:
Maker: KYOCERA
Model: CONTAX SL300R T*
Software: CX- SL300R T*
All the normal metadata appears including exposure, compensation, flash, ISO metering pattern, and focal length.
Final bonus, since the Contax is a Mass Storage Device, it shows up on any desktop as a drive -- no software required.
Thanks again!

Nikon D2h
2004-03-09 23:19:41 jwenting [View]
the D2h which was introduced last year has shutter lag comparable with the F5 regular SLR (which is to say, as close to zero as you can get in a system where signals travel through a medium that's not vacuum).
Of course it's in a somewhat different class from the Contax :)

Illustrated by Eric Fraser
A beautiful edition of Tolkien's classic children's story. Leaving his comfortable hobbit hole Bilbo Baggins goes on a reluctant adventure to defeat a dragon, and along the way he encounters the vile, but pathetic Gollum, and his 'Precious' – a ring to rule them all.
Published price: US$ 56.95
For more than half a century readers have journeyed alongside Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, and his nephew Frodo in The Lord of the Rings.
Bilbo Baggins is a reasonably typical hobbit: fond of sleeping, eating, drinking, parties and presents. However, it is his destiny to travel to the dwarflands in the east, to help slay the dragon Smaug. His quest takes him through enchanted forests, spiders' lairs, and under the Misty Mountains, where he comes across the vile Gollum, and tricks him out of his 'Precious' - a ring that makes its bearer invisible, and wields a terrible power of its own.
This edition is bound in parchment cloth blocked in gold, with an inset label showing Smaug the dragon. It contains 19 black-and-white illustrations by the great Eric Fraser, and endpapers printed in red and black ink, showing Thrór's Map and Wilderland.

Air Force to offer early retirement, buyouts to civilians
Tuesday - 7/15/2014, 10:17am EDT
The Air Force will offer early retirement and buyouts to civilian personnel, in order to eliminate nearly 3,500 positions, officials announced Monday.
The service estimates the cuts will save the Air Force $1.6 billion over the next five years.
Trimming the workforce will help the Air Force meet a Defense Department directive requiring each service to reduce its costs and staffing levels across headquarters by at least 20 percent by 2019.
But the Air Force wants to go beyond the mandated 20 percent, and it wants the majority of workforce reductions to happen within the first year.
"It's better for airmen, because it provides them predictability and allows us to re-stabilize our workforce sooner," Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said. "It also allows us to harvest the savings earlier, so that we can plow it back into readiness and some of our key modernization programs."
Voluntary Early Retirement Authority programs (VERA) and Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay (VSIP) will primarily target management at headquarters, both in the U.S. and overseas.
"Reducing higher headquarters' staffs means we can save money that can be re-invested in getting ready for combat missions at the wing level," said Bill Booth, the Air Force's acting deputy chief management officer.
Service members have already been offered voluntary incentive programs.
The Air Force will "foster voluntary reductions before pursuing involuntary measures," DoD wrote in a release.
An Air Force spokesperson told Federal News Radio that depending on how many employees opt in to VERA or VSIP, the service's next step would be to exercise reductions in force (RIFs).
The Air Force previously offered buyouts and early retirement to its civilian workforce in 2012.
Reducing staffing levels — through both voluntary and involuntary measures — is part of a broader restructuring initiative, known as Air Force Management Headquarters Review.
As part of the review, the Air Force will centralize management and streamline mission support activities.
The Air Force also will continue to reduce its contract spending, operating budgets and travel expenditures.
"Everyone knows our economy is still not where it should be," James said. "We have a responsibility to ensure that every dollar adds value to the taxpayers and our national defense."

Have you ever had the experience of seeing a fabled piece of art in a museum, only to be let down by its small size? The gosh-darn Mona Lisa may be the world's most famous painting, but it's only about 20 by 30 inches; certain take-out menus are larger. If you like your art big and bold, you'll want to be at the opening reception for Screwed Again,an exercise in mural painting that takes over the gallery of the Regional Arts Commission (6128 Delmar Boulevard; 314-836-5811 or www.art-stl.com) — the entire gallery. For the installation, nine artists (including Christopher Burch, Stan Chisholm and Justin Tolentino) have covered the RAC's walls with sheets of wood and paper and are collaboratively transforming it into a room-filling painting. Don't expect a graffiti-like explosion of bright colors, though: The artists have chosen to paint only in shades of white, black and gray. The free reception begins at 6 p.m. Friday, August 13, and features the deft turntable work of DJ Needles. Screwed Again remains on display daily through Sunday, October 3.

Who will win in the second round matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Memphis Grizzlies? This matchup features two of the best young and coming teams in the NBA. The Thunder have arguably the brightest future of any team in the league, while the Grizzlies' fantastic youth was on full display as they dispatched the San Antonio Spurs in their first round upset.
Though Memphis played really well in the first round, the Thunder will be winning this series. Oklahoma City simply has too many weapons.
Zach Randolph is on fire for the Grizzlies but he's their only real offensive weapon. On the other hand, the Thunder have Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook as elite scoring options. On top of that, in power forward Serge Ibaka, the Thunder have a power forward who can give Randolph a lot of problems.
I expect this series to go six games but the Thunder will come out victorious and move on to play the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

Alec Dear: Midnight At The Crossroads
Midnight At The Crossroads is a 15-page excerpt from a book-length story that Matt Smith and I were developing in the late nineties/early aughts. Originally titled Alec Dear: Hell, we ultimately decided to scrap the project, I believe because Matt was suffering from Technical-Pen-Induced Insanity Rage. Hell was to be our full-length sequel to Through The Wood, Beneath The Moon, where we'd get to see our hero Alec Dear challenge the Devil at the crossroads, with a headbanger's soul hanging in the balance. (more…)
Here's a two-page comic/story monster tale that appeared in the Styles section of the Boston Phoenix a-ways back in October, 1996. It's a story I wrote in college and it's illustrated by the ever-talented Mister Reusch, who 100% nails the mood. I've always liked it. It's got good tempo and a good payoff. Apparently, I used to know how to write. HO HO HO. (more…)

i am delighted with the look of these track lights. they are modern & very simple. i ordered the nickel color which gave the all white room an instant make-over. the only downfall is that my dimmer did not work once the new lights were installed. perhaps this could be because i chose to use energy saver light bulbs. either way, the look is a nice improvement & i would recommend them.

I was looking for something with an industrial aesthetic and these fixtures worked out great. They were easy to install and easily adjustable.
By:Ioana P.
I was looking for something to provide a lot of light and blend in with the ceiling. Worked and looked great for our application, exposed ceilings.

The WAC track lighting products that we have installed are very functional and provide a nice accent our home. Ylighting staff provide excellent customer service.
By:MN Resident , Homeowner (Ely, MN)
I ordered several of these lights for our art gallery. The simple design is classic yet offers nice features. The lights snap easily into the track and the heads can be moved for spotlighting our artwork. The best part is the price. A great value! We paid 3x the price for 'fancier' but not better lights.
By:Judy Z. , Designer (lorton, VA)
Lamps look great, adding this system has our 30 year old Kitching looking like new and right in step with 20 10.
Cheers Joseph

We have installed these lights in our Octanorm frame at the header. We used powder coated (black) and Silver Octanorm. With these silver lights attahed to the header, they look very clean. The lights provided the perfect amount of lighting and have increased the overall look vs the black Octanorm. They were easy to mount and easy to run power to. The give a great distinction with the way they are designed and i recommend them to anyone who wants to have a clean, fresh, and wonderful lighting look.
By:Sam H. , Designer (St. Louis, MO - USA)
I got 6 of these 765-track lights. They look great, they are solid, and you can direct the light excactly where you want it. I am very happy with the purchase and I am planning to get another set for the office.
By:Dimitris , Homeowner (Chicago, IL)
modern looking light and the price is right
By:Paul S. , Homeowner (NJ)
I needed additional directional track lighting. It had been some years since I installed this system and discovered YLighting had the same fixture I needed. Plus their pricing was very competitive so I ordered 5 fixtures. I could not believe how quick I received them, plus there was no charge for shipping. The fixture woks good and I can install either halogen directional PAR lamps or the new LED directional PAR lamps.
YLighting is an excellent company and I will use them again the next time I need various lighting products.

Concentrated Solar Power
Looking rather like a 10-meter (33 ft) tall sunflower, IBM's High Concentration PhotoVoltaic Thermal (HCPVT) system concentrates the sun's radiation over 2,000 times on a single point and then transforms 80 percent of that into usable energy. Using a number of liquid-cooled microchannel receivers, each equipped with an array of multi-junction photovoltaic chips, each HCPVT can produce enough power, water, and cooling to supply several homes. Read More
Researchers at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) have conducted a study to examine the potential for solar power to provide reliable electricity around the clock, every day of the year. The team found that a large, distributed network of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in the Mediterranean basin or the Kalahari desert in southern Africa would be able to consistently run at 80 percent of maximum capacity or more throughout the year regardless of time of day, season, or weather conditions. Read More
Solar power may provide a clean, abundant source of energy, but we know the sun's rays are capable of much, much more. Aside from generating electricity, we've seen solar energy harnessed to produce drinkable water as well, so why not combine the two processes into one system? That's what IBM and its collaborators are hoping to do with an affordable High Concentration PhotoVoltaic Thermal (HCPVT) system that uses cooling technology from supercomputers to harvest solar energy more efficiently and produce purified water at the same time. Read More
Thanks to its low latitude and low percentage of cloudy days, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an ideal location for capturing solar energy. So it's no surprise to see the world's largest operating concentrated solar power (CSP) has launched in the sun-soaked Middle Eastern country. Officially inaugurated this week by UAE President and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Shams 1 is a 100 MW CSP that will power 20,000 UAE homes. Read More

Where Recycling Goes; the Musical "The Landing"; Russell Banks's New Short Stories; Homelessness in NYC
Wednesday, November 13, 2013
Adam Minter describes what happens to our soda cans, glass bottles,and old newspapers after they're put out on the curb, and how recycling became a global industry. Composer John Kander and lyricist Greg Pierce on their new musical, "The Landing." Russell Banks talks about his new collection of short stories. And New Yorker staff writer Ian Frazier and Coalition for the Homeless president Mary Brosnahan discuss why homelessness in New York has reached such high numbers.
Junkyard Planet
When you drop your Coke can or yesterday's newspaper in the recycling bin, where does it go? Adam Minter—journalist and son of an American junkyard owner—tells us. He gives an account of a vast, often hidden, multibillion-dollar industry that's transforming our economy and environment. In Junkyard Planet, Minter traces the export of America's recyclables and the massive profits that China and other rising nations earn from it.
"The Landing"
Greg Pierce, who wrote the book and lyrics, and John Kander, who wrote the music, talk about the Vineyard Theatre's world-premiere production of "The Landing." It's a beautiful and haunting new musical made up of three thematically connected tales of desire, love and loss. It's playing at the Vineyard Theatre through November 24.
Russell Banks on A Permanent Member of the Family
Russell Banks discusses his new collection of short stories, A Permanent Member of the Family. The 12 stories in the collection examine the ways we try—and sometimes fail—to connect with one another. Banks looks at the families we make for ourselves and the ones we're born into.
Why New York Has More Homeless Now Than In Decades
New Yorker staff writer Ian Frazier and Mary Brosnahan, president of Coalition for the Homeless, discuss what life is like for many homeless families in the city, and what the new mayor should do to address the problem.
