Take an online dive into a 500-million-year-old sea
View online
Go on an immersive journey into the world of the bizarre prehistoric creatures which formed the foundation for all animal life on Earth half a billion years ago.
Located in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the Burgess Shale is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of an ancient fossilized marine seabed.
Through the use of never-before-seen visuals, including stunning virtual animations, this award-winning website brings to life over 100 years of discoveries. It features an authoritative fossil gallery, including high-resolution images of the creatures, and life-like models or digital reconstructions for many species. There are also sections on history, research and practical information for visitors to the Burgess Shale.
The ROM's cutting-edge research is leading the way in understanding more about this incredible natural treasure and the stories it tells about early life on this planet. We've led dozens of field explorations and excavations to the area since 1975, and we hold the world's largest collection of Burgess Shale specimens, over 150,000 in total.
The Burgess Shale: The Virtual Museum of Canada is the recipient of a Paleontological Association Golden Trilobite Award (2011) and an Ontario Museum Association Award for Excellence in Publications (2012).

Program Description
The 90 credit Associate in Arts or Associate in Science transfer degrees are designed to meet the general education requirements at Washington State four-year institutions and prepare students for entrance into baccalaureate majors in an area of study that you plan to teach.
Secondary Education — What is it?
Secondary Education programs prepare teachers to teach in middle schools and high schools. In addition to completing a teacher education program and residency certificate, students must complete a baccalaureate degree in a subject area that is endorsed by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) in Washington State (www.k12.wa.us/certification). Some universities offer teacher education programs that can be completed within a bachelor's degree, while others offer a post-baccalaureate certification program or certification in conjunction with a graduate degree program.

NEW YORK - The Black Keys are remaining vigilant when it comes to sound-alike songs.
The Nashville duo is suing Pinnacle Entertainment in New York federal court. Drummer Patrick Carney and singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach said the casino owner commissioned a song that sounds like their hit "Howlin' For You" for a commercial advertising two of its Louisiana properties. They are asking a judge for an injunction and compensation.
The Keys recently settled lawsuits against Pizza Hut and Home Depot over similar charges. Terms of those settlements were not released.
A message left with the band's representatives Wednesday was not immediately returned.
The Keys are up for five trophies at next month's Grammy Awards and Auerbach also has been nominated for producer of the year.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Friends and family are attending funeral services for a 9-year-old girl killed by Monday's tornado in an Oklahoma City suburb. Thursday's funeral for Antonia Candelaria was the first since the storm that killed 24 people.
Ten of the victims were children. Relatives and friends huddling under umbrellas amid a downpour hurried into a chapel where mournful country songs played.
The front of the chapel was filled with photos of a smiling Antonia. Candelaria was one of seven children who perished when the tornado flattened an elementary school in the city of Moore.
A family photo released by her mother shows the girl beaming with a big smile and wearing a white sun hat. Authorities say the tornado caused $2 billion in damage and destroyed or damaged up to 13,000 homes.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Josh Willingham's time in Minnesota could be waning, with the trade deadline approaching and the veteran outfielder in the final year of his contract.
His swing is back, even if he might be going.
Willingham's tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning sent the Twins to a 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Monday night.
''I felt better, yeah, so hopefully I can keep going and help us win some games. That's my goal,'' Willingham said.
As for the possibility of being dealt?
''I pay seriously zero attention to it,'' Willingham said, while his three young sons played around in the clubhouse behind him, focused on their Popsicles and blissfully oblivious to a scenario in which their father would find himself on a new team later this summer.
Kurt Suzuki had a two-run double among his three hits, Trevor Plouffe hit an RBI double and the Twins beat the Indians at home for the first time in more than 11 months.
''Coming off the All-Star break and losing three in a row, you obviously don't feel real good about yourself. So we needed a big win,'' Willingham said.
Suzuki, a first-time All-Star selection who was the catcher for the ninth inning of the American League's victory here at Target Field last week, posted his ninth three-hit game this season. He raised his batting average to .311 and is 25 for 63 in his last 17 games.
In another All-Star game reprise, Glen Perkins pitched a perfect ninth for his 23rd save in 26 chances.
One week ago, the Home Run Derby was delayed by rain on a cool, autumn-like evening. Tack on about 30 degrees and thick humidity, and that's what the conditions were like for this series opener, which began with a first-pitch temperature of 89 degrees.
Willingham sent the sweaty Twins fans home happy with his dead-pull line drive that just cleared the left-field wall against Bryan Shaw (4-2), his ninth homer and only his second this month.
''We were all blowing really hard in the dugout for that to get out,'' Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Shaw threw a full-count slider.
''Not where I was trying to put it,'' he said.
Casey Fien (5-4) picked up the victory, despite allowing an RBI single by Roberto Perez in the top of the eighth that cost Twins starter Kris Johnson his first career win.
''Mine will maybe come later. Maybe not. You never know. It's the Twins' victory that counts the most,'' said Johnson, who was sent back to Triple-A Rochester after the game to make room for Tuesday's starter, rookie right-hander Yohan Pino.
Teetering on the brink of veteran-sell-off mode before the trade deadline, the Twins emerged from the All-Star break by being swept by Tampa Bay. But they snapped back from that and, in their first time hosting the Indians this year, ended a six-game home losing streak to their division rivals.
The Indians lost shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera to spasms in his lower back after two innings. Chris Dickerson delivered a pinch-hit RBI single in his place, and Mike Aviles quickly shifted back to his natural shortstop spot after his first start of the season in center field.
Yan Gomes hit third, having not batted higher than fifth all season and getting most of his time in the seventh slot, and hit an RBI double. He's 10 for 21 with five RBIs in his last six games.
Johnson finished five innings in his third major league start, his longest appearance yet.
Rookie T.J. House, who made eight starts earlier this season, was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to take the mound in Minnesota. House also completed five innings, giving up three runs.
NOTES: The Twins tabbed Pino (1-2, 4.39 ERA) to pitch Tuesday, his sixth major league start. Pino will be recalled from Rochester for the third time in a little more than a month. The Indians will also bring their starter, RHP Danny Santana, up from Triple-A. Santana (1-4, 5.53) was sent to Columbus on May 16. ... Twins 1B Joe Mauer (strained muscle on his right side) took grounders before the game. Gardenhire, asked whether he had ever hurt an oblique in his playing days, quipped, ''I didn't even know I had one. I never swung good enough to really actually pull an oblique.'' ... Indians All-Star Michael Brantley started the game on the bench for a break and hit a pinch-hit double in the eighth. He stayed in the game in center field.

The Music of Suffering
The Composition of Four Quartets
Remembering Poets: Reminiscences and Opinions
At the end of the year 1914, when T.S. Eliot was twenty-six and living in England, he wrote to a friend about the unpleasantness of meeting sexual opportunities in the street and feeling his own refinement rise up to obstruct them. Eliot thought he might be better off if he had lost his virginity some years earlier, and he contemplated disposing of it before marriage. At the same time, he thanked the friend for executing a commission. Writing from England, he had wanted roses delivered to Emily Hale, to celebrate her appearance in a play produced by the Cambridge (Massachusetts) Social Dramatic Club. In his next letter, Eliot wondered whether or not he should get married and sacrifice his independence for the sake of his children. We may conjecture that the poet was meditating marriage and had even begun considering a choice of spouse.
But an unpublished poem which he wrote about this time implies that virginity no longer troubled him. In the first stanza the poet describes himself as standing happily in the corner of a bedroom while a woman lies in bed. In a second and closing stanza, it is morning, the woman is asleep, and the poet leaves by the window. The scene may be fantasy, and the date is not certain; but the poet speaks historically in the first person; the joyous mood and the details of the situation imply a quite satisfactory sexual encounter. Since Eliot met Vivien Haigh, his first wife, early in 1915 and married her (with no advance notice to his family) in June, we may speculate that the encounter altered his marital plans. The marriage was of course the disaster of his life.
Dame Helen Gardner, in her new, immensely rewarding book on Four Quartets, suggests that when Eliot visited New Hampshire in the spring of 1933, Emily Hale was with him. Dame Helen also reports that when Eliot went to Burnt Norton (Gloucestershire, England) in 1935, his companion was Emily Hale. The language and imagery of the poems "New Hampshire" and Burnt Norton make the link: springtime, a bird, children's voices in an orchard. "Twenty years and the spring is over," the poet says in "New Hampshire"—taking us back from 1933 to the last academic year he spent as a graduate student in Cambridge, Massachusetts. We know that in February 1913, when Eliot acted in a variety show at the Cambridge home of his cousin Eleanor, one of the other performers was Emily Hale.
The theme of Burnt Norton is the difference between the possible and the actual. Speaking in his mind to a nameless listener, the poet says,
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden.
The images evoke courtship, a romance that was unfulfilled.
In Part Four of…

18-Foot Giant Oarfish Found In Southern California
The carcass of an 18-foot giant oarfish was discovered this Sunday by Catalina Island Marine Institute marine science instructor Jasmine Santana while snorkeling along the Southern California coast. Though the mysterious oarfish is normally found in the deep depths of the ocean, the creatures carcass was discovered under about 15 feet of water.
It took Jasmine about 15 minutes to swim the giant fish back to shore. It then took more than 15 people to carry the beast out of the water.
Little is known about the giant supine due to the great depths at which the fish normally lives. The fish can grow up to 50 feet long, but are rarely seen near the surface. The Catalina Island Marine Institute are calling this surprise finding the discovery of a lifetime.
We've never seen a fish this big. The last oarfish we saw was three feet long. - Mark Waddington, senior captain of the Tole Mour, CIMI's sail training ship

Robot Chicken Season 4 (US - DVD R1)
Gabe enjoys more dirty minded action figure antics from Seth Green and co.
I have this bad habit of accepting almost everything the Adult Swim people offer for the simple fun of watching it. I keep forgetting I have to write up a review after watching it. In the case of Robot Chicken this part of the task is especially difficult because it's a script show, and not plot or character based (unless you count the Humping Robot). Almost everything I said the first time I talked about the show still applies. Stuff like ' This series runs on the ingenious idea of animated action figures with dirty mouths. What better way to reach deep down into the nostalgic recesses of Generation X and Y than to enact pop-culture memories with their favourite toys? Content is almost an afterthought, because concept alone makes the show worth a glance. Genius. Honestly, the creators might want to look into a child friendly version.'
And like every other season: 'the content can be a problem. Robot Chicken is a sketch show, and I normally I make it a rule to not like sketch shows, because they're often frustratingly hit and miss. Adult Swim on the whole is pretty hit and miss, but Robot Chicken is slightly more hit than miss, and the hits are hard as frozen mud-balls with rocks in the middle. Sometimes it's just ball kicking and fart jokes, but other times something as golden as Emperor Palpatine getting a collect call from Darth Vader slips out. The show's channel flipping motif (which itself is probably some kind of comment on my generation's attention span), and 11 minute runtime makes for some fast-paced sketching. You're more likely to stick spaghetti to the wall if you toss it in torrents instead of handfuls.'
In praising this particular season I'll make mention of a few of the more successful skits. As a horror fan I find myself particularly fond of two slasher skits, including one featuring a homebody Jason Voorhees (with the classic Final Chapter mongoloid face) getting ready for a busy Friday the 13th, and another that retells Freddy Kruger's history as a series of misunderstandings. As a fan of all things Bruce Timm I also recommend a Justice League sidekick day celebration (like 'bring your kids to work day'), and a Shawshank Redemption spoof staring the Joker, voiced by none other than Mark Hamill. Other wonderful oddities include Wrath of Khan presented as an opera, Harry Potter vs. Chris Angel: Mind Freak, Billy Dee Williams defending Lando on the grocery store line, the ballad of Fumbles the GI Joe (where a new Joe recruit joins Cobra over his nickname), a father (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) becoming obsessed with Inuyasha, a song explaining the futility of M.A.S.K., a Smurfs vs. Snorks war, and an incredible hip-hop retelling of The Dark Crystal. The only elements I haven't really praised enough in my previous reviews are the technical achievements of the animation itself, and technically the show has gotten better over the last four seasons. Along with a generally cleaner look to the models, and a crisper frame to frame, the animators have developed more dynamic camera movement, including a way of creating a hand held camera look.
Robot Chicken is shot with actual cameras on little tiny states, instead of being animated on computers, or frame by frame by traditional animated means, like many of Adult Swim's shows. I don't believe the show is shot with hi-def in mind, so DVD definition is enough in this case. This 1.33:1 transfer is presented interlaced rather than progressive (like so many Adult Swim releases), but doesn't feature very many obvious combing or interlacing effects. The show has bolstered its technical achievements over the years, and this pertains to both the lighting schemes, which are now bolder than early seasons, and the look of the puppets, which are cleaner. The clay cover-up used regularly in earlier episodes is now mostly gone, and imperfections in the general construction are minimized. The occasional over-sharpening found on earlier releases is mostly corrected here as well, which in all makes for a smoother and more colourful experience. A Blu-ray release might have been fun, but likely unneeded.
Robot Chicken is presented in a limited Dolby Surround 2.0 track, which is livelier and busier than many similar tracks thanks to the efforts of the series' sound designers, who perfectly prepped the Star Wars special for a 5.1 representation. The rapid fire action, and use of referential audio leads us to plenty of audio dynamics and stereo effects throughout, and the track's most obvious selling point is the solid musical representation, which features plenty of punchy bass, and a wide, crisp stereo spread. The ghost center channel is occasionally an issue in these cases, as sometimes the musical track cuts awkwardly from the stereo to center when there's no more dialogue left in a given sketch.
Though Adult Swim discs aren't known for being too light on extras ( Frisky Dingo aside, grumble grumble) Robot Chicken discs surely stand out as the most comprehensive discs in the studio's collection. Season four is no exception. Things start with creator commentary, tracks that are once again brimming with a fun collection of special guests, including celebrities like Nathan Fillion, Tela Tequila, and Monica Keena. The tracks are incredibly fact filled considering how quickly each sketch skips by, and the experience is entertaining enough to basically double the value of each episode's rewatchability.
Disc one's other extras begin with a collection of four 'Chicken Nuggets' (episodes 'Help Me', 'I'm Trapped', 'In a DVD Factory' and 'They Took My Thumbs'), behind the scenes discussion with the creators (speaking directly to camera), which can be accessed via branching technology from various episodes, which can be directly accessed via the extras menu. Think of them as additional commentary tracks. Next is footage from the 2008 San Diego Comic Con panel (10:40), which sees the cast and crew teasing the fourth season. This is followed by a look at a New York Comic Con panel from 2009 (7:30), which refers more to the post-release of the season. The fist disc ends with a collection of six 'Day in the Life' featurettes (10:30), which delve briefly into the insane detail and process of the series.
Disc two features footage from the crew's Australia visit, including Press Tour footage (3:20) and 'Comedy Channel' promos (2:00). The behind the scenes stuff continues and ends with five Video Blogs (22:00). The celebrity behind the mic montage is certainly a highlight. The disc is completed with its bulkiest bits, including 38 deleted animatics (65:00), nine deleted scenes (7:10), all with writer introductions, a collection of four alternate audio takes (3:30).
It's still hit and miss, but this fourth (final?) season of Robot Chicken is one of the show's best, and there is a surefire 'rewatchability' to the whole thing. Sure, most of it is available for free on adultswim.com (visit today for all the latest Venture Bros and Metalocalypse, watch them now), but not with all these fantabulous extras, including commentary on every single episode. The DVD's A/V qualities aren't spectacular, but only the interlacing creates any noticeable problems.

So I will give you my story and then I would appreciate any and all comments with respects to my queries. So I'm a 44 year old white male, single, finishing up his education after spending the past 12 years in the Canadian Navy. I've been to over 50 countries in my travels and have spent quite a bit of time in the Asian region, you'll notice I said Navy, one of the mistakes I made when I was younger was I got a few tattoos. Nothing Biker like but I have 3 on each arm and one small one on my chest, enough said. Where is this going you ask, well I spent my last three years in the Navy teaching and I loved it, considered it the best part of my career, now that it's over I decided that I would give TESOL a try. I'm not a fresh face right out of school who hasn't been out of his own province let a lone the country. I have seen my share of poverty and the goings on in some of these countries but I still want to give it my best, I have been back to one in fact probably 18 times in the past 10 years both with the Navy and on my own for vacation, in that I mean Thailand and that area of Asia. So hurry up and ask the question already, well here it is. Given the above facts, especially the one about my tattoos, I would like to hear back from any and all with there imput to teaching abroad. I've been following Daves ESL Cafe now for a couple of year ever since I first heard about it and I guess in some way that has also steered me towards this choice. However as with anything else there seems to be a lot of horror stories posted, now I know you can't believe everything you read and only half of what you see, but any feed back would be appreciated. I do want to make this work, and unlike some others I take my studies seriously and I really care about the people I teach. I've been told by almost every class I taught in the Navy I was the best Instructor they ever had and my students grades reflected that to a great extent.

Well Jamie - to me it seems like you have a big plus in your favour and that's your attitude. Keep up this positive approach and you'll do ok. Don't worry about the "tats" - wear a long sleeved shirt to work. If you like Thailand, there are many jobs around but they are not highly paid but ok by local standards.

Don't be put yourself out too much about that. For example, when I was at the gym, the staff would come running up to foreigners asking them to cover up their tatoos. If it's Taiwan - No problem! Lots of tatoos here and the Chinese seem to be relaxed about the whole thing. Thailand - No problem as you most likely already know. I don't think you'll have any problems in Korea either. The Japanese seem to be the most sensitive about it. Your EFL experience, in any country, will be determined by your employer, I beleive. If you get treated fairly by your employer you'll have a great time. And this is possible. But in EFL, chances are that you'll end up with an employer that will try to take advantage of you if they can. You can get some good positions and most often than not they're not advertised. I find that I don't like the big chain language schools like HESS/NOVA/Berltiz/GLOBAL VILLAGE KOJEN/GABA/ECC/AEON/SHANE/GEOS That might be like being in the military for you again if you go and work for one of these companies! Ha, aha, haa!! Seriously, you might do all right in one of these companies but I find them to be very controlling and I don't like the type of people that invariably seem to gravitate towards the "head teacher' positions in these large companies. I also don't like their agressive sales tactics they use on the students. Good luck in your job search!

Jamie): In your first paragraph, you said, "... hopefully get my university degree." Maybe you were just being modest, but my first and most important advice would be this: FINISH your degree, no matter what it takes. With it, you will have so many more options. As Omar805 already stated, having a good attitude is half the battle. With your extensive travel experience, some time already spent in a teaching environment, a university degree and a good attitude, I have no doubts that you will find what you're looking for and enjoy your new career in EFL. As others have already mentioned; I wouldn't worry too much about a few tatoos. If it really makes you feel uncomfortable, there are several techniques that can be used to remove them. (excision, laser surgery and derm-abrasion are the most common) Personally speaking, as long as the tatoos aren't on your forehead, I'd 'pass' on the derm-abrasion. Good luck, Jamie!

Surely time for a thread on the most-hyped London opening since Ramsay at Claridges.
Have any CHs been yet? I've got a reservation in a few weeks and will report back. The general view from people who have been so far is that it does deserve the hype and is a beautiful room as well apparently.

The Kid's Doctor: New guidelines issued on ear infections
By Dr. Sue Hubbard
The American Academy of Pediatrics just released new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute otitis media, which is "doctor speak" for an ear infection.
An ear infection is one of the most common maladies of early childhood and also one of the most common reasons antibiotics are prescribed. Guidelines from 2004 recommended that pediatricians use "watchful waiting" before prescribing antibiotics for an ear infection in some children.
The new guidelines for treating ear infections with oral antibiotics are even more specific than those issued in 2004, and further clarify which are the best children to observe and those that should be treated right away. This will reduce the number of unnecessary antibiotics that are prescribed, which in turn may help prevent antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
According to the new guidelines, children need to receive immediate antibiotics if they have a severe ear infection (with a fever of 102.2 degrees or higher, or significant pain), have a ruptured ear drum with drainage, or an ear infection in both ears in a child age 2 or under.
As both pediatricians and parents know, all sorts of things that cause ear pain, from an erupting new molar to a cold or sore throat. But if the eardrum is not bulging, the best treatment is pain control with acetaminophen or ibuprofen and watchful waiting to see if a child's symptoms worsen or if the pain resolves. In studies, two out of three children get better without an antibiotic.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|She's a Keeper
Packie will once again call you, instructing you to visit his brother in the penitentiary off of Grenadier Street. So, after receiving that phone call, go ahead and visit him. Just like your earlier visit with Gerry, he'll have to be ridiculously vague with his instructions simply because he's being monitored by various guards in the prison. But, he gets his point across to Niko well enough that Niko knows what has to be done. And just like that, after briefly speaking through the glass, Niko goes on his way.
The safe house where the girl you kidnapped is being held is located in Alderney, up an alleyway off of Franklin Street in between Rand Avenue and Catskill Avenue. So, begin driving there, being sure to keep a close eye on the GPS instructions on your HUD to locate the discrete alleyway. Once you arrive, you can pull up to the back door off of the alleyway, where one of Packie's goons will bring the kidnapped girl out. This is a pretty funny scene, since Niko remembers how much of a fuss she put up when she was kidnapped. His solution? Throw her in the trunk!
Now, you have to head to another safe house in Algonquin, and while that's relatively close by to your location in Alderney, it will still be a relatively arduous (albeit short) journey. The mob family the girl was kidnapped from is on to the plot, and they've come to take the girl back. So, as you ride along, you have to make haste, because enemy cars will be all over you, gunning away at you incessantly. Making matters worse, you can't damage your car too much or you will kill the kidnapped girl in the trunk, ending the mission automatically. The trip over the Hickey Bridge at the north end of both boroughs will give you a nice chance to speed up and lose the aggressors, however. You can then bring the girl to the relative safety of the new safe house, where she'll be deposited.

"No one saw this coming. People talked about Oracle making its own Linux, or buying a Linux company (Ubuntu?). But, the news that Oracle is erasing Red Hat's trademarks from Unbreakable Linux and supporting it for less than Red Hat is a bolt from the blue. Or, perhaps, I should say that Oracle is firing a shot at the heart of Red Hat, and commercial Linux? This really, really ticks me off." Apparently, Oracle announced that they will provide full enterprise support for Linux and so it competes with RH.

2013 Photography Upgrade Thread
Thought I would start out Mr. Fuji's retirement party with a special thread. As many of you might have seen in the Rosewill Tachyon review thread, I've chosen this year to start getting a little more serious with the review images. This includes upgrades to both lighting and camera gear. The Fuji S700 is getting a little old, and it's never been that great of a camera due to lens distortion issues. Last year, the pop up flash broke and I figured the writing is probably on the wall for him.
Started things off yesterday by picking up some of the new lighting gear. I'm not rich, so I picked up two 500W halogen work lights for $11 each. At that price, I almost bought two more. I wanted them on stands, but for the money they cost I figured I'll just MacGyver something.
Most of my money's going into the new camera, which will be the Nikon D7000. If something happens and I can't afford it anymore I'll go down to the D5100 instead. The lens purchase will follow... still undecided on that. I've got it narrowed down to a Nikon 50mm 1.8D with a set of extension tubes or a Nikon 40mm Micro.
Other various plans include moving the photography table out of my office into the home theater where there is more space. Lighting was terrible there, which is why I never did it before, but the new work lights should take care of that. Especially if I go back and get more of them. Also planning a light tent purchase at some point after the camera and lens purchases have been made.
This will likely end up being the single most expensive upgrade to my review methodology since I started working here at jonnyGURU.com. Be sure to tell everyone who will listen to come and read our reviews... more traffic is always nice and helps us pay the bills
Nice. That sure beats my lighting solution (Only do reviews on a bright sunny day and open all of the windows)
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the coils backwards
Main PC: Core i7 3770K 3.5GHz, Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP, 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600, 240GB Intel 335 Series SSD, 750GB WD HDD, Sony Optiarc DVD RW, Palit nVidia GTX660 Ti, CoolerMaster N200 Case, Delta DPS-600MB 600W PSU, Hauppauge TV Tuner, Windows 7 Home Premium.
Heh - my modding may just amount to bouncing the light off my drop ceiling in there. We'll see.
I'm just glad my tax refund this year is allowing me the camera I really want. Even if I have to save up for the lens yet. If I were merely buying one for the site, I'd probably just save money and go with the 5100 anyway. But there are other factors to consider. If I'm buying a DSLR, it's going to get well used
Got my new photography area set up today. There's a lot more space here than there was in the office.
Definitely need to work on placement of the lights... the one on the cabinet is ok where it is, but I need something on the other side for the other light. Will figure something out, I'm sure. Yeah, I could have gotten the ones on stands, but they were 3x the money these were.
Put the lights to use today for an upcoming Allpar article. I should have done this a long time ago. It's very nice to be able to use the S700 on ISO 200 with decent shutter speeds.
Again, very happy the camera has the ability to customize white balance... I don't think it knows what to do with these lights on auto mode.
Here's the setup. Made myself a light stand out of two computer cases. I'll go buy a shelf next time I'm in town - I need more PSU review sample storage space anyway. Need to take those guards back off the lights - they make shadows I hate.
And one of the pictures for the article. IIRC this is f3.5, ISO 200, shutter 1/50. Manual white balance, no flash.
It's done. After much soul searching over the D7000, worrying myself to death over where to get it and how to get it when I don't even trust Paypal transactions that large, I decided to pull the trigger on the D5100 instead.
I would have driven myself crazy trying to get the D7000 and all the lenses I wanted to run with it. The body itself would have drained my bank account, and I never was very sure about when I could start getting lenses for it. So, its little brother came home with me. I only found one D7000 body in the whole city, and it would have cost me everything I had. I could have done the kit at Future Shop in about two weeks, but then I'd have nothing left for anything else.
So I drove to Alberta this morning, and went to Future Shop. They didn't have the D5100 body only - all they had were kits. So I bought one. Their price was $599... I had them price match the lowest price in Canada I could find ($550), and they beat it by about five bucks. As soon as they did that, I went and got a $40 bag to go with it and still came out ahead of their initial $599 price.
Mr. Fuji is now officially retired. He got this picture, but won't be getting too many more. I cannot wait to play with this thing... it goes right to work on review images starting tomorrow morning.
Nice. Sure beats my ageing Pentax camera.
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the coils backwards
Main PC: Core i7 3770K 3.5GHz, Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP, 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600, 240GB Intel 335 Series SSD, 750GB WD HDD, Sony Optiarc DVD RW, Palit nVidia GTX660 Ti, CoolerMaster N200 Case, Delta DPS-600MB 600W PSU, Hauppauge TV Tuner, Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thanks. Spent the whole trip there worrying about them running out of these before I could get one. I was ready to go with the D5200 if I couldn't do this one.
Turns out I didn't have to worry... they had four of the D5100 kits and two D7000 kits. I think they had fewer D5200s than this one, honestly.
Couldn't wait for the battery to charge. I slapped Mr. Fuji's 2GB SD card in there, fired it up in auto mode, and took a picture of my 40" Toshiba on one of my HD channels. I'll be darned if it didn't absolutely nail the image, even with the flash firing. It did overexpose just a touch, but that's ok. I won't be in auto mode all that often. Got a 16GB card coming... probably won't do much in RAW until that gets here.
Also picked up a third 500W halogen work light. At eleven bucks each, I just had to. Got a higher quality white bedsheet to throw on the photography table as well
Next step is to get the TN panel Samsung off my main rig and replace it with an MVA BenQ. Need something a little better suited for image editing. Then... lenses, lenses, lenses. Maybe some other things, too.
If you're open for suggestions ... I'd really recommend an external flash - it does wonders without all that light accessories. I've tried those halogen work lights and wasn't too happy with the results (not to mention generated residual heat).
Here are some pics recently shot in the middle of the night with only usual ceiling (wolfram) light, Canon 650D and one Canon 430EX SpeedLite:
No PhotoShop and no additional equipment was used except the one mention above.
Those lights do heat up a room...

Could more State Aid be saved if the Central Library were closed and more community libraries were kept open?
No. Since roughly 90% ($2.5 million) of State Aid is for System support, such as specific grants for Central Library services, keeping more individual libraries open would not materially alter the amount of State System Aid at risk.
Can you take the $15.5 million planned for the Central Library Renovation and the $2.5 million discussed for the South Buffalo Library project and use that to offset budget cuts?
No. First, much of the $15.5 million has NOT yet been raised. The Central Library Renovation is a multi-year, multi-phase capital project. Donations of $1 million have been applied and County Funding of $4.8 million has been approved, for a total of $5.8 million. Nearly $3 million of that amount was committed after a public bidding process in spring 2004. That construction is underway now with Phase 1 renovations expected to open in mid-April 2005. The remaining $9.7 million has yet to be approved or otherwise secured.
Second, County funding for the renovation project is in the form of long-term tax-exempt bonds that, by federal and state law, may be used ONLY for the intended project.
Third, the potential source of funding for the new South Buffalo library construction project is from the County's Tobacco Settlement proceeds. These are restricted by the provisions of the Tobacco Securitization agreement to use for capital outlay projects. They may not be used to support operating expenses.
Finally, all of these funds are one time revenues with the bonded portion needing to be repaid over the next 20 years or longer. Even if it were legal, diverting them to support operating expenses would make no more sense than it would for a homeowner to get a second mortgage to pay one year's utility and grocery bills.
Why are you renovating the Central Library?
In addition to being more than 40-years-old, much of the Central Library's ceilings and structural beams are treated with materials that contain asbestos. This material must be removed safely before it deteriorates. Erie County has been funding asbestos abatement in the Central Library for more than a dozen years. Asbestos abatement cannot be avoided or delayed indefinitely. Even if a building is to be demolished, asbestos must first be abated/removed.
Each phase of the proposed renovation starts with sealing off an area of the library buliding and carefully removing the asbestos. This process leaves a clean shell space that must have the inner walls, ceilings, ventilation, lighting, etc. rebuilt. Rather than simply rebuilding the space as is (with 1964 fittings and finishes), the Library is taking this opportunity to reconfigure the space to better meet 21st century needs.
Why are we putting a café in the Central Library as part of the renovation?
The café will generate commission and rental income for the Library in addition to providing a place for visitors to enjoy a beverage or a bite to eat while using the library. Minimum rental income will be $6,000 per year and will grow as a percentage of sales based upon the business generated by the café. The café operator was selected in a competitive RFP (Request for Proposals) process and is responsible for providing the staffing as well as the specialty equipment (ovens, sinks, coffee makers, refrigerators, etc.) needed to operate the café.

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are used to facing each other with huge prizes at stake and it will be no different on Sunday when they meet in the French Open final.
Nadal, who is chasing a remarkable ninth title at Roland Garros, is bidding to become the first man to win it five times in a row and the first man in history to win a grand slam title in 10 successive years.
Djokovic, meanwhile, is looking to win the one slam trophy he has never lifted, becoming the eighth man to complete a career Grand Slam, and reclaim the world number one ranking from Nadal.
He was close two years ago, when victory in Paris would have given him four slam titles in a row, but Nadal gained revenge for final defeats in the other three.
This will be their 42nd clash, more than any other two men in the Open era, and their seventh grand slam final - they have currently won three each.
Although Nadal and Roger Federer will probably be the rivalry that defines this era of men's tennis, Nadal and Djokovic is arguably a more fascinating contest, not least because their games match up so well.
Nadal has won their last three slam matches, including in the semi-finals here last year, but Djokovic is on a four-match winning streak and beat the Spaniard in the final in Rome three weeks ago.
"Novak already did a lot of times, positive results here," said Nadal. "It's nothing new for him to be in the final. He has the motivation to win Roland Garros for the first time for sure.
"But at the same time, he has the pressure to win for the first time. I have the pressure that I want to win and the motivation that I want to win the ninth.
"I'm going to go on court with the same motivation as him. I don't know if it's the same pressure as him. Probably we are in different situations.
"But I don't know if that's going to make a big impact on the match. What's going to make the real impact is the player who will be playing better."
Djokovic admitted that last year he had become too obsessed with winning the French Open.
His semi-final loss to Nadal, where he had led 4-2 in the fifth set, hurt him, and he has not won a grand slam title since last year's Australian Open.
Djokovic insists the pressure on him is not as great as in the last two years, saying: " I guess each year I gain that experience in knowing how to handle certain situations psychologically.
"So it is more of a motivation for me, I would say a positive emotion going into the finals. Of course pressure is there. Expectations are there. They are always present when you are playing at this level.
"But I'm trying to channel this energy into the right direction and not get carried away too much by the stress of the occasion.
"So it is the final. It is the finals of a grand slam that I (have) never won. Of course I'm going to give my best to lift the trophy.
"I'm going to have the ultimate challenge on clay across the net, Nadal. We all know how successful he is. But I have to believe and I have to try to win it."
Djokovic went into the tournament as the favourite after winning in Rome, handing Nadal his third defeat on clay this season, but that changed after the semi-finals on Friday.
Nadal played his best match of the season in thrashing Andy Murray while Djokovic was below par in a four-set win over Ernests Gulbis.
However, Serena Williams' coach Patrick Mouratoglou believes Djokovic should win.
The Frenchman said: "The key is in Novak's hands because I think if he plays with the right mindset, being aggressive, and the way he starts matches usually against Rafa, I think he has the keys to win.
"But there is so much pressure on this match. It's such an important match for his career.
"If, on the other hand, he comes to the match being a bit under pressure and he lets Rafa play, which he did a few times in the past, especially in that semi-final that he lost against him here last year, then he's going to lose.
"His mindset is going to be the key thing, but it's all in his hands."

Preacher Pat Robertson on l'affaire Petraeus.
"She is an extremely good-looking woman. She is a marathon runner, she'd run Iron Man triathlons, and so she's out running with him, and she's writing a biography. And I think the term is propinquity. And there was a lot of propinquity going on."Blame the woman. Poor manly, military men; they're defenseless against the wiles of a good-looking "lady". And I love the way the good-looking "lady" co-anchor agrees with Robertson that there was a lot of propinquity going on.
"He's off in a foreign land and he's lonely and here's a good-looking lady throwing herself at him. He's a man."
What's wrong with these people? What about the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman? Do you laugh or cry? A lot of what's wrong with these people is that they buy into patriarchy.

Such adamant women, such pregnable men. We've been stuck on this since Eve, Adam and the Garden of Eden. And it's true: Eve shouldn't have been so pushy with the apple.
But Adam could have had a V8.

American Gothic
Designer Rick Owens moved from California to Paris a decade ago, bringing his signature blend of glamour and grunge to the namesake fashion and furniture lines he launched there—and inspiring legions of fans and imitators. An exclusive look inside his Paris home.
IN A SALON WHERE subjects like universal education and health care benefits once held center stage—a room groaning with elaborate boiserie, inlaid mirrors and parquet flooring—a taxidermic monkey now looms over a massive stone-gray table. Rick Owens, the iconic expatriate American designer, has taken up residence in the former French Socialist Party headquarters on the Place du Palais Bourbon, a few blocks south of the Seine.
"The building was empty for 20 years before we got it in 2004. It was hideous: office cubicles, insulation tiles, a real rat warren. I think it was too daunting for most people to take on—not too many people would do it the way we did," Owens says, explaining that he "just ripped things out, but left the concrete floors and some of the other stuff—the bare bones are good."
If a house in need of a total (or, in this case, artfully partial) renovation suits Owens, it may be because it conforms to his particularly unorthodox artistic vision, a love of polished imperfection that informs the clothing that has made him famous—a mode of dressing (and, more recently, home furnishings) that could be described as high-end, glamorous grunge. (Owens himself has called it "glunge.") These creations have mesmerized the fashion world since he launched his first collections in the early '90s, growing into a global phenomenon built on a foundation of skinny leather biker jackets beloved by everyone from teenagers (who admittedly have trouble scraping together enough babysitting money to purchase the original) to customers Owens proudly describes as "fierce grannies." Among the other codes of the house are a willingness to treat sable with an irreverence usually reserved for sweatshirts and the employment of trumpet skirts and narrow trousers dedicated to elongating the body. Virtually everything is made in a palette that a former associate likened to the color of a dying bird.
Owens, who was born in 1961 in Porterville, California, came to Paris with his then-partner, now wife, Michèle Lamy, in 2003, when he was hired as creative director at Révillon furs. He met Lamy in Los Angeles in the late '80s. He had been studying to be a painter at the Otis College of Art and Design but switched to pattern-making; Lamy, originally from Paris, had a sportswear factory at that time and employed him. Today, she is his muse, his goddess, his artistic other-half, the force behind his fur and furniture lines and, by default, his translator. "My French is still nonexistent," he laughs ruefully. "I am so horrified I didn't pick it up easily. I live with a mean French lady, and when she hears my French she can really give me a look of disdain."
Though he remains a quintessentially American guy—soft-spoken but strong-minded, a long-haired, louche, super-fashionable version of Gary Cooper—Owens, like so many American artists before him, is besotted with Paris, thrilled to think that Montesquieu and Proust trod the very same cobblestones he crosses every day. Gazing out a window at the Ministry of Defense garden at the back of his house, he dreamily observes, "On days when there are visiting dignitaries reviewing the troops there's a little band that plays the Marseillaise. It's so sweet."
This Left Bank building, whose glorious front rooms date from the early 19th century, but whose back area is an unimpressive addition from the '50s, served until recently as Owens's entire headquarters and living space. A few months ago he moved his showroom to another Paris location, but the furniture designing still takes place here. The fur department remains in situ, with a second-floor atelier featuring a curtain of mink pelts drying overhead, an eviscerated bear draped over a chair—purely as decoration, Owens confides—and a rack of rare python biker jackets, typically Owens-esque in their feral decadence. (Who knew scales could grow this big?)
This afternoon, a few days after Owens's well-received fall 2013 runway show, the designer has been persuaded to conduct a house tour, clad in his usual uniform: unlaced sneakers, shorts over trousers, a halter T-shirt atop a garment he calls his "level" turtleneck (because of the straight line across the shoulder, in front of the throat). We ascend the narrow wooden stairs (he has plans to widen the staircase, rip out the charmless elevator and flood the place with light) and arrive at the living quarters, decorated almost exclusively with the furniture that Owens has been designing since 2006. Monumental and dramatic—combining the influences of Robert Mallet-Stevens, Donald Judd and Le Corbusier—the pieces, though spectacular in an Art Brut sort of way, are not exactly what you would call warm and cozy. They aren't meant to be—Owens says they are the antithesis of his clothes, which place a premium on slouchy comfort. "With the furniture, I completely disregarded what's practical—that's art, that's magic!" If the materials are wildly ambitious and the prices insanely high, if these antler chairs and petrified bark tables are scaled for a Texas oligarch or a Middle Eastern potentate, Owens merely shrugs. "The furniture started as a hobby for me. I mean, it's not like I collect cars or anything. It was a personal indulgence. Frankly, I was surprised when we started selling it."
Even when the decor is not Owens-designed, it is hardly candy-colored. On the floor of an area he refers to as Michèle's gym—"I hate boxing," he says. "She's into cardio; I can't do it"—is an elegant all-black boom box (words that don't usually go together), a recent gift from Cher, a new acquaintance who has become a fast friend.
The master bedroom is dominated by a bed that is a replica of the one they had in L.A., a humongous creation made of felt-covered plywood, a design that Owens has also rendered in alabaster, in an edition of two. (Should you be considering asking him to increase this to three, bear in mind that it will weigh two tons—the person who previously purchased this $180,000 item had to have his floor reinforced.)
"How do we make all the things around us beautiful?" Owens asks rhetorically, explaining his interior design philosophy. "Every switch plate, every sneaker, I want all the everyday stuff to be great. I would like a rock crystal toilet!" In lieu of a crystal facility, there is a wonderful library, which Owens refers to as his "panic room," and features rugs repurposed from surplus military blankets. Owens-designed shelving holds tomes that range from Scotty Bowers's scandalous memoir, Full Service, to a compendium of Fellini films to seven bound volumes of Interview magazine.
" "When you think about it, my niche has been around forever. Sarah Bernhardt wore a taxidermied bat in her hair!" "
"Honey, are you decent?" Owens calls out as we approach the next landing, where Lamy is just finishing up in her custom Owens-designed hammam. And here is the lady herself, surprisingly diminutive (birdlike, you might say), with a wicked grin that reveals her trademark mouthful of gold teeth. She is friendly and welcoming, and the two of them seem like they couldn't be happier, but suddenly you find yourself wondering, OK, so there is a marble hammam and a bed that could sleep a family of 12, but can you get a cup of coffee around here? The answer is not really; though the work area has a full catering kitchen, the living quarters don't even sport a dorm fridge, which Owens says is fine with him. "We have minibars on each floor—I can always get a cookie."
As it turns out, the couple takes most meals at the Brasserie Le Bourbon on the corner: "We need to get out of the house anyway," Owens says. Recently, they were having dinner at the restaurant when Pierre Cardin, still designing at 90, approached Owens and complimented him on his work. "I was just so touched, he's so French!" Owens remembers. "It made me feel so validated, like I had achieved major French acceptance." Not bad for a California boy with a schoolteacher mom and a very conservative social worker dad, who grew up in a house with a library that contained volumes of Colette and Huysmans but no TV. (Nevertheless, Owens watched television at friends' houses, and it's easy to guess his favorite program: The Addams Family, which was clearly a formative influence.) His parents travel to Paris twice a year to see his women's runway shows, and every season his mom asks if he's embarrassed she turns up in bright colors. ("No, mom, it's fine," he reassures her each time.) She was at his most recent show in February, which offered Asian-inspired women warriors marching to a Wagner soundtrack, their pre-Raphaelite hairdos literally blowing in the wind via steam machines.
Over lunch—the catering kitchen supplies orange juice and mineral water and a nearby bio (French for "organic") restaurant sends over delicious chicken and couscous—Owens talks about his guiding aesthetic, common to both his fashion and his furniture. "When you think about it, my niche has been around forever," he says. "Sarah Bernhardt wore a taxidermied bat in her hair! What I am doing is really a reformulation of exoticism." We are in the room with the monkey (Francois Mitterrand's former office) sitting on Owens's Alchemist chairs—a triangular affair that he describes as "meant more for perching than for reading." (Halfway through the meal this becomes readily apparent.)
The conversation turns to the underpinnings of virtually all his creative work: "It boils down to construction, creating my own language from the inside out, but always keeping my signature," he explains. "Clothes are supposed to be about experience—the damage, the patina, accepting it and enjoying it, making it part of life. We all get impatient when things are too prim."
Still, despite his many European influences—his entire opus, he says, smiling, owes a serious debt to Madame Grès, the French fashion designer and master cutter, and Eileen Gray, the avant-garde Irish furniture designer—Owens's collected works aren't exactly Continental; they are the product of an imagination that resides in a very specific Rick-land. His signature is so recognizable that it has inevitably turned up, massively copied, in high-street stores all over the globe, but Owens takes this in stride, even thinking of it as a compliment, though he admits that lately he has been considering his legacy. He says he is thrilled to be so influential, "but if I wasn't credited, then it would hurt. And if someone was doing it better than me it would kill me. There are moments I want to claim my space a little more strongly. Sometimes I worry, Will I be a small footnote in fashion history?"
He laughs and that Gary Cooper–esque, all-American modesty reemerges, especially striking, and even a little touching from a guy who heads up a nearly $100 million business. "I know I should just be grateful paying the rent. I started out to do what's cool and what amuses me, and I still try to operate like that. For a long while it was about struggling to survive, struggling to get better. Now it's about staking my place.

linuxmce can work as a router and dhcp server.
well, if i said that linuxmce could work as a router and a dhcp server, you don't need any hardware devices for this. maybe you must add some extra rules in linuxmce firewall to allow acces for other computers to internet.
Well I am happy to say that I finally got the basic installation to work!You already have a wireless router (and range expander) with the WRT54G. A WAP (wireless access point) would just add more wireless "expansion" to your home. If you need that, then go for it. It sounds like you just need a wireless *adapter* though. That would be something like a USB dongle or a PCI card; not a "blue box" you plug into your wall. Brands that often work well with Linux (but aren't guaranteed) are TrendNet and Linksys. If you are thinking of plugging your system into a wireless device (often referred to as a gaming adapter) then that would work just as well (it's basically the same idea as using a USB dongle or PCI card, but it connects to your PC through the Ethernet port).
Now its time to get the wireless Linux MCE going and I have a couple of n00b questions about networking:
1. Internet WLAN
Linksys ADSL Router with 4 port switch connected to a Linksys WRT54G WLAN router connected to PC.
DHCP turned OFF.
No major problems here, though some XP machines not taking fixed ip addresses; dhcp no problem.
I also have a Linksys WRE54G range expander with auto configuration.
2. Linux MCE WLAN
At the moment no WLAN hardware, so it's time to go shopping!
Is it enough just to get an Access point or should I get a router?
Any suggestions?
Sorry for the rookie questions.
