More lenses
Mount type
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
After reviewing the Nikon mount ZF.2 version of the Zeiss Sonnar T* 2/135 we've now analyzed the Canon ZE mount model. Read on to find out how well it performs.
Street photography is an appealing genre for many photographers, and has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to the proliferation of small high quality digital cameras and lenses. We've put together a concise round up of moderate wide-angle and telephoto lenses from each of the major camera systems. Read on to see which of the models we've chosen and what to expect from them in terms of image quality.
Introduced in July this year, the EOS 70D at first sight seems like a regular update to the maker's mid-range EOS 60D model. It shares a number of features with the firm's existing SLR range including a 19-point cross-type phase detection AF system, a 3-inch (1.040M dot) articulated touchscreen and built-in WiFi connectivity with remote viewing and image transfer. The camera can also shoot at up to 7fps and has 1080/30p video recording with stereo sound using an optional external microphone.
In the lead up to Photokina 2012, Canon announced the new Canon EOS 6D full-frame entry-point model within days of Nikon publicizing their most-affordable full-frame camera to date, the 24-Mpix D600. While the EOS 6D boasted some attention grabbing features including built-in WiFi and GPS and slightly undercut the Nikon on price, it couldn't match its rival in one or two key areas, namely the less populated AF system and lower resolution sensor.
Canon were busy in 2012 releasing three wide-angle primes, the EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM, EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM, on to the market. The latest launched in November 2012 was the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM as an updated version of the original that dates back to 1990. Featuring Image Stabilization, Canon's USM Ultrasonic autofocus motor, a 'fast' f/2 maximum aperture and wide-angle focal length, it looks a great option for Canon shooters into landscape or architectural photography.
Canon's EF 100mm f/2 USM dates back to the early 1990s, making it one of the camera maker's more veteran lenses. But don't let its age fool you, the lens' continuing popularity among professional and amateur photographers alike proves a classic never dies.
Affordable. Light. Compact. And a classic. The two-decade-old Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM is a popular lens known for producing high quality images. Its wide aperture and medium focal length make this Canon product ideal for newbie photographers looking to enhance their portfolio with a portrait lens.

Mortal Kombat Annihilation is the second film (god willing not the last) in the MK saga. The fight scenes are far superior to the original, blending nostalgia and hilarity into a cocktail fit for a King of the Outworld. Honestly? This battle could have been number one if Jax could have squeezed in just a couple more perfectly timed one-liners. Regardless, it does MK justice; especially when Sonya delivers her famous "Kiss of Death" fatality to a cyborg. The explosion at 4:34 is worth the price of admission alone.
The RE films are pretty similar to their source material: The action is beautiful while the plot is more confusing than Russell Brand's sex appeal. This scene showcases the lickers just as Capcom would have wanted: Ugly, fast, and creepy as all hell. And in staying true to the RE game series, Alice doesn't move while shooting. Also, Jill is wearing the EXACT outfit she wore in Resident Evil 3, making her the last person to tie a sweatshirt around her waist since 1996.

Marathon Training: Run, Eat, Hydrate, Run
- By Jeff Gaudette
- Published Oct. 9, 2013
Practicing your nutrition and hydration strategy is just as important as getting in the miles.
The main focus for many runners training for a marathon is logging mileage, especially long runs. Runners understand that the success or failure of a marathon race will predominantly be determined by how well they've trained. However, many runners often overlook that nailing your nutrition and hydration during the race itself is a significant component to success and shouldn't be taken lightly. Learning how to drink water without choking while maintaining race pace is definitely an acquired skill. And, unless you're Allen Iverson, we all need to practice if we want to be our best when it counts.
In this article, we're going to explain why it's critical that you spend the time to practice your race day nutrition strategy and also outline some specific, actionable steps you can take to ensure that you're ready on race day.

Cool! And yet, I cringe to think of how much that must have auctioned off for!
I just posted to Dewback to add my order for the belt buckle. I need to get confirmation info regarding the paypal address, though.

I have a roll of the grey strap, ordered it awhile back if anyone is interested. There might be enough for 2 or 3 costumes. My cylinders came from Kenny, Elvis trooper.

I am in need of these accessories as well but my experience with these orders is negative. I pay for items which I never receive from these people. I would much rather preffer to buy them on the spot. Last year ,I have ordered from Rebel Legion and never got my orders. I ordered the tshirts and maybe christmas ornaments, cannot remember. I have to go through paypal to figure out whom I have paid. So, if anyone is ordering could you please add another order for me and I will compensate you when I get the merchandise? I am waiting for Richie to send me the helmets to get started on the rest of the costume.
Matt, I already have the pic of the suit, thanks. I will be putting it together as soon as I get fabric. The pattern has been drafted last year.

Eva, Rebel Legion merchandise is totally different than ordering items from costume/props vendors. (We don't want to give anyone a bad rap here). I do want to say that for the record, I have always gotten the items I've ordered from Pappy through dewback wing. He is very reliable. As a matter of fact, knock on wood, I have always gotten every costume parts item I've ever ordered through various clubs.
If you have not received a Rebel Legion merchandise item please check in at the
merchandise forum
in the thread you have placed your order. Ask the person organizing the order for the status on your item if they have already stated that all items have been shipped (make sure you read the thread before bothering them, some orders take a long time to fill before the item is manufactured). In some cases, like with the
Concert T-shirt you ordered
, they were just shipped to the organizer this week and he will start shipping the shirts very soon. You ordered gray, the manufacturer messed up and you will first get a white shirt, then a gray replacement at a later date (two shirts for the price of one due to their error).
I checked every page of the Rebel Legion ornament thread. You never signed up for that. If you feel you signed up and actually paid for a 501st ornament you need to check those forums and follow up with the person organizing that order.

It took me a while, but I finally found a bolt of Orange Cotton Twill that is pretty close to the original color. I was hoping to get a perfect pantone match (yeah, I jotted down the pantone color at the FIDM exhibit). However, just finding any orange cotton twill that was not pastel melon was more challenging than I expected!
I'd say this has more red in it than the original film used twill, but not as much red as the Dickies jumpsuits some use. So, it's a happy medium.
SiaLan Wezz (eva) was nice enough to buy the entire bolt for our base to use. So if anyone is interested in buying the fabric from her and matching what she, Alison, and I are making feel free to contact her.

Give Jason (Volund Starfire) a holler. He's done a lot of research for that pilot party that we are having up here in Oregon. He can point you in the right direction for a lot of the other parts that you will be needing.
If anyone has the means, we would love to have more people show up for the pilot project up here. Hit Jason up for more details.

Oh, I already finished my pilot costume! I don't need any help but wanted to provide a place for our own base members to continue discussion. I can offer lots of advise too since I now know the ins and outs of this costume pretty well - I figured I could offer local advise and help for our member here as well. We have the bolt of orange fabric in case people are crazy like me and want to make a jumpsuit from scratch with the screen accurate seaming.

Sorry, I was kind of waiting for Bernard to answer this and just realized your question went unanswered.
Since you currently are a pilot you can be in the Corsair Squadron from what I understand. You just need to go to
this thread and post photos of your costume
and ask for acceptance to the Starfighter Command Detachment. That will then automatically put you into Corsair Squadron once you are approved to the detachment.

Thanks for Matt for the heads up.
Jedi Micky is doing a very SMALL run of his X-wing Helmets. So if you need a helmet (maybe you need an upgrade from a Rubies? You are working on a new pilot costume?) be sure to contact him via PM and post ASAP since he only has a few extras he's doing.

Hey Shane, you're currently listed as a formal pilot in Endor Base so you should be good for Squadron membership. Just contact Bernie and get him to assign you a number.
Oh, and just for the record. According to the RLSC Charter, technically you don't need to be a member of the RLSC to be in a Squadron. You just need to be a "formal" pilot. (Yeah, it's a loophole, but Ed and I wanted everyone to be able to play.) That said, if you are a formal pilot, please go sign up for the Rebel Legion Starfighter Command. The Rebel Legion's

Hey Kathy,
I'm going the way of making my flight suit from scratch too. I want it to fit right, I'm slowly but surely researching all the details of this costume. I've come to realize that if I want a quality costume, it's not going to be cheap; but I think it will be worth it.
There are VERY FEW REBEL Star Wars costumes that are as easily recognizable as the x-wing pilot, and I'd think it would be fun to be part of the Corsair Squadren.
Hope to join the squadren ranks soon!

Joseph Pine II and James Gilmore discuss their new book, Authenticity
James Gilmore and B. Joseph Pine II, authors of The Experience Economy, the 1999 book that argued that businesses of all kinds must orchestrate memorable events for their customers, recently published a new work, Authenticity. This book takes their business theories further and could help meeting planners not only make their events experiences, but make them real in a way that will resonate with attendees. When AM asked them how, here's what they said.
AM: Meetings by their very nature are contrived. We take people out of their normal environment and ask them to do things they wouldn't ordinarily do. How can you make an inherently fake experience a real one? Should you even try?
Gilmore: It's no longer enough to just offer an experience — the definition of a meeting's success is whether people define it as being real or not. Before that can happen, you have to recognize that the meeting is fake if you want to render it real.
Take the awards ceremony, for example. If 70 percent don't show up or walk out as soon as dessert is served, that's your reality. Accept it and figure out what you can do based on that reality. One organization hired a mentalist to predict who would win. They filmed the predictions based on five nominees, then Fed Exed it off to the meeting. The mentalist not only predicted who would win, but also what they'd be wearing. And he was right.
Pine: And be true to your organization. You have to know who you are and what you're about first, so you don't do things that are inconsistent with that.
Gilmore: If you suddenly switch gears to try to be more authentic, people will say, "Where did that come from? That's not this organization." So part of it is accepting who you are, then figure out how to render that more real, not try to be authentic on someone else's terms.
AM: Is site selection critical, or can you create an "authentic" meeting anywhere?
Pine: We recently did our ThinkAbout meeting in Nashville. We had found a hotel that reeked of authenticity, the Hermitage. But because they couldn't give us enough rooms, we decided to go to Opryland, which is contrived, from the singing frogs on out.
Gilmore: We thought, the Hermitage isn't going to satisfy everyone's perception of real. But in Opryland, everybody will view it as fake. Which was perfect: Because we're talking about authenticity, let's go somewhere fake. Find a juxtaposition that makes what you're dealing with seem more pronounced because it's so different. Sometimes organizers try too hard to match their meeting to the place, when much more interesting things could happen if they went in the opposite direction.
AM: You talk a lot about polarities in the book, about rendering authenticity through oppositions, like your example of a meeting about authenticity in a fake place. How else could that work?
Gilmore: While point one is being true to yourself, point two would be working with your polar opposite to enhance the value of what you provide. Look at who traditionally comes to your meeting — who would be the polar opposite delegate? Take the example of the National Christmas Tree Association, which in fact is the natural Christmas tree association — those who grow the trees. Think of how much more interesting the meeting landscape would be if they included the artificial tree manufacturers. For medical association meetings, doctor-patient is your key polarity. So where are the patients at the event? How can we possibly learn about a disease state without the human side?
The creative tension that comes when opposites meet is where real conversations take place. Too much association stuff is done to maintain the status quo, to not make waves.
AM: How does originality fit into the authenticity picture?
Gilmore: Find ways to take what's already there — name badges, for example — and use them in a different way. For our events, we don't call them name badges; we call them "admission passes" — it forces us to think differently about how to use them.
Pine: And not just to have them be something hanging around [attendees'] necks, but to use them in the event in some way that makes the badge their own.
Gilmore: This year, we focused on the five genres of authenticity in our ThinkAbout conference. So we had them write on their name badges the genre that most appealed to them, and then what their company should be using. Then we had a mixer where people found others who had answered the same way they did. It worked great. I love when I see the badge-recycling bins — you might as well post a big sign saying, "We give up, we won't even try to make this something you'd want to keep to remember the event."
Pine: Invitations are another place where associations do not do a great job — you can usually just substitute the words from one event to another. For our ThinkAbout events, we do something that refers to where we're going to. When we went to Las Vegas, it was on playing cards; when we held an event at Camden Yard in Baltimore, it was a baseball program.
Gilmore: For this year's ThinkAbout University meeting, the invitation was a blue book and a test. On the test, we'd ask you to name three reasons you'd go to the meeting, and you'd go to the blue book for the answers.
Fakeness is not necessarily a bad thing. Thinking about the real fake versus the fake real can give you launching point for thinking about making your meeting more authentic.

By Woman's Day
Ever wonder what's going through your boss's head when he greets you in the elevator? Since putting the company president in the hot seat is never a good idea, we went ahead and did the asking on your behalf. Follow these bigwigs' tips and you just might find yourself climbing the next rung of the corporate ladder.
We Check Facebook2 of 11
Ask yourself, "Would I want my boss to read this?" every time you post on a social media site, suggests Edith Onderick-Harvey, president of corporate consulting firm Factor In Talent. "Be careful about how much you share about your weekend or what a jerk [you think] your coworker is," she urges. ON WOMAN'S DAY: What HR Won't Tell You
Attitude Is Everything3 of 11
Like 'em or not, office politics matter. "What your manager won't tell you is that what may be even more important than completing tasks and following directions is your ability to work with her and your coworkers," says Onderick-Harvey. Even if you're getting the job done, if your coworkers find you to be abrasive, rude or just unpleasant, it will be hard for your boss to promote you.
Speak Up4 of 11
Patty Briguglio, president of MMI Public Relations in Raleigh, North Carolina says, "I like having an employee who isn't afraid to show her personality," she says. "I don't want someone to just fill a spot at a desk." If you want a promotion, ask for it, says Briguglio. ON WOMAN'S DAY: Companies With Great Perks
Clothes Matter5 of 11
"Dress every day as though it's possible you'll be called into the company president's office for a meeting," urges former business manager Sue Thompson, a consultant and speaker with Set Free Life Seminars. Even though your manager has more important things to focus on than your clothes and your business etiquette, if you fall short in either category you're just asking not to be promoted.
Follow Our Lead6 of 11
If you're not sure whether your boss prefers to communicate in a meeting or via e-mail or phone, ask, suggests career and executive coach Lauren Mackler. Also ask what she wants to be consulted on and what she prefers you handle on your own. And take cues from her personality, says Mackler. If your boss is introverted, don't keep pushing for face-to-face time.
Solve Problems7 of 11
"Most employees bring up problems and expect the boss to solve them," laments Jennifer Prosek, CEO of consulting firm CJP Communications. "The employees who stand out are a part of the solution." If you're struggling with a project or a client and aren't sure what to do next, present your boss with three possible options — she'll appreciate that you're thinking ahead.
Don't Be Shy8 of 11
Your boss can't possibly keep tabs on what every employee is doing every day. "When you wrap up a project, send a congratulatory e-mail to your team and CC your boss," suggests Mackler. You might also send him a monthly overview of the projects you've completed and other accomplishments, and have these month-to-month e-mails on hand at your annual performance review.
We Hate Reviews9 of 11
"[Performance reviews] are just as painful for your boss as they are for you," says Daniel Debow, co-CEO of Rypple, a web-based feedback tool. "But you can help make them easier." Keep track of your successes as they happen, suggests Debow. You should also try to connect with your boss regularly throughout the year — not just on review day.
Be Responsible10 of 11
Whether you're running late or botched a big-time project, don't try to push the blame elsewhere. "I can't promote you if you refuse to accept the blame when you mess up," says Deborah Becker, the owner of a State Farm Insurance agency in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. "The phrase 'I'm sorry. It won't happen again,' goes a long way." ON WOMAN'S DAY: Office Etiquette Rules
Give Us Props11 of 11
If you make your boss look and feel good, you'll reap the rewards, promises Stefanie Smith, head of executive consulting and coaching firm Stratex. Generally, your boss is the one doing the encouraging and nurturing, but you can turn the tables to your advantage. Compliment your boss in front of other people, suggests Smith. Just be sure to keep your kind words sincere — and brief.

Up to 300 Metre Range
Order today for Monday delivery
The BT Digital Baby Monitor 250 comes with lots of great features including interference free HD-Sound and a range of up to 50m indoors and 300m outdoors - giving you even more peace of mind with your baby!
You'll get crystal clear sound, without any interference.
It's got a range of up to 50m indoors and 300m outdoors. That's huge. And it means you can get on with things while your little one sleeps.
The nightlight on your baby's monitor changes colour depending on the room temperature. If you are out of the room you can check the indicator on your parent unit, which also alerts you if your baby's room gets too hot or cold.
It's two-way. So not only can you hear your baby, but press a button, and they can hear you too.
Help your little one drift off with a choice of 8 lullabies
When there's a sound in your baby's room, the parent unit will alert you in a way that suits you. If you need some peace and quiet, you can turn down the sound and set to beep or vibrate.
You can leave the bedroom light off and use the built-in torch to check on your baby.
To help you keep to a set routine, you can set the timer on your monitor to remind you of things like feeding times.
Good while it works. Have owned two, after a few months display stopped working, battery life deteriorated to an hour or two. It now will suddenly shut down with no warning. Have just had to order 2 new monitors
Allows for remote assurances that all is well without having to go in and potentially disturb the baby. Wouldn't be without it! It has given me greater confidence looking after my first grandchild.
great product had the older version of this but my son dropped it in the bath so needed a new one for baby coming this one is great.
Useful at home and neat enough to take away in the storage bag
Everything about this baby monitor is great its easy to use plays soft music to help ur child sleep a touch on it so u dont need to turn the light on n alot more stuff and it arrives in great condition also i have been lookin all over for this one and there all wanted over £100 it also tell you how warm or cold the room is aswel

The Future Is Now!
ESPN Hosts Hacking Competition for Women [Now Hear How This Makes Sense]
by Susana Polo | 11:44 am, November 13th, 2012
ESPN, coding, and women aren't three things you'd expect to see in connection to each other, unless, perhaps, it was a statement about how the cultures of the first two aren't generally known for involving a lot of the latter, at least in participatory roles. And then there's the notorious rivalry on screen and stage of "Jocks vs. Geeks."
But this weekend two hundred people, most of them women, came together at Stanford University for espnW's first Hack Day, a competition to see who could code the best mobile app for sports fans, regardless of their gender.READ MORE

text: That might seems like ranting more than a constructive criticism, but I have a hard time getting into the forum, and getting the old articles. I know there is the link at the top of the page, but for some reasons, I never get used to top links, and always seek the right/left menu. For that purpose, might I suggest that we see some kind of menu back on the right side. I know a lot of effort has been put into redesigning the site's layout, and it is very good! I like the way engine and articles at the top of the page works, but as I said, for some reasons, I can't get used to click atop of the page for the forum or the articles. Maybe incorporate some kind of menu at the right side of the page, between "latest forum post" and the poll? I'm no designer, but I know that I miss my left/right menu, and I don't think I'm alone. I must have spent about a full 2 seconds searching for that missing feature, and I'm used to odd web sites. So, for those less used to it, simply seeking information, that might be a problem for them. But as I said, I'm no designer, and I know it's hard to please everyone, but I don't think that would hurt the design to add a menu. Anyone else felt that need/experienced that 2 seconds of search?

Plassmann Hall
Plassmann Hall Amenities:
Plassmann Hall Rooms:
Below are photos of standard room layouts (doubles, 4-person suites, and 6-person suites) and furnishings provided:
Plassmann Hall Staff:
Plassmann Hall is staffed by a live-in professional Residence Director who is responsible for the day-to-day operations of Plassmann Hall, including maintenance and facilities concerns, mediating conflicts between students, supervision of paraprofessional Resident Assistant staff, adjudicating violations of the Siena College student code of conduct, and many other responsibilities. The Residence Director of Plassmann Hall is currently Mr. Don Denz. Don is currently in his second year working at Siena College.
Each Residence Hall (except for the Townhouses) also houses a Friar-in-Residence. Franciscan Friars model Franciscan ideals, recognize the goodness and value of each person, and serve as a resource for students for any concerns they might have.
Also working in Plassmann Hall are 13 Resident Assistants, student-leaders living on each floor and wing of the residence hall and serve as peer mentors and role models for the residents of the building. RAs go through an in-depth training every August and January to provide them with the skills necessary to ensure all residents of Plassmann Hall feel welcomed and safe in the residence hall and the Siena community.
The Plassmann Hall 2013-2014 Staff:
The Plassmann Hall Community
RAs plan social, academic, spiritual, diversity, wellness, and service programs for the residents of the building to help get them involved in the Siena Community and develop their skills as students and leaders on campus. Each RA hosts at least 4 programs a semester, so in Plassmann Hall alone that is at least 52 chances a semester to become involved, meet your peers, and learn new skills! Some previous RA programs have included salsa dancing lessons in the main lounge, an "Ultimate Football Grudge Match," Lazer Tag Program, Registration 101, meditation during mid-terms and finals, or a simple ice cream social during your favorite TV Show!

ALL of them were for both. To say they were devoid of any sense of altruism is far more cynical than the issues merit.
I respectfully disagree. The first Iraq War was done for both reasons as was WWII, but I don't see any altruistism at all for the second Iraq War. On the other hand, I see no ulterior motives for our involvement in WWI, Liberia, Somalia and Korsovo. Now I'll admit that my historical knowledge of some of these conflicts isn't as thorough as it could be, but perhaps you can fill me in and change my mind.

Unique Prom Dresses
If you want to make a statement and stand out this year at prom, why not choose one of Jovani's beautiful printed unique prom dresses. A floor length silk spaghetti strap Deep-V A-line gown with a multi colored animal print is a great way to do so. The beautiful print will catch all onlookers' eyes and the beautiful silhouette of the gown is extremely flattering. The spaghetti strap offers support and the neckline and A-line fit in the gown makes the gown flare away from the body under the waist drawing attention to the smallest part of your body. A gown like this is perfect for anyone who wants to be noticed at their prom. Another beautiful option is a floor length strapless gown with tulle overlay on the bottom. A prom dress like this is a modern version of a traditional princess gown and wearing this dress will make you feel just like so. Detailed with beautiful organza ruffles, feathers or small crystal beading a top of the dress will make your prom dress elegant and different from other gowns. This gown with an oversized silhouette is a great way to make a dramatic entrance at your prom. If you prefer to have a more modern and sleek look, choosing a floor length one-shoulder silk gown is a great choice. A color like coral or black always looks sleek and is always in style. Another beautiful option is choose a bold and vibrant teal gown. Teal is a sexy and vivacious color that is never over looked. Wearing teal or aqua you will feel confident and beautiful. A floor length chiffon aqua strapless gown in a mermaid silhouette with a sweetheart neckline is a beautiful gown to choose. Simple yet noticeable this gown will make head turns. One more way to look your best at prom is embracing a look that is a little more racier than a normal prom dress. Cut outs in a gown can be seen all over the runway this season and are a very popular trend. A floor length mermaid gown with a side cut out detailed with crystal beadwork is a beautiful dress that is unique to choose. A unique dress like this will have you noticed and shows just the right amount of skin that it is not over the top. Look and feel your best at your senior prom in Jovani. Don't go unnoticed but be remembered for having great style and looking fierce! Browse through Jovani's 2014 Prom dresses today.
