Over the years, I've been blessed with not often being ill. My endurance levels have been high. Lately, a dear friend of mine has been trying to persuade me that too much tea is unhealthy, especially overly steeped tea. During nearly a decade in Moscow, I became accustomed to good Indian tea Russian style: that is [...] - Alec Kinnear

I saw some of the items they were eBooks on how to get 100+ positive ratings on eBay in 7 days or something like that. I know the prices and server speed may seem irristiable now, but when you get with a host, you can not think short term, if you are in a serious web venture, you have to know without a shadow of a doubt that all of your data is going to be handled in a professional manner. There were several horror stories after integritys "buy out" Many customers data was lost, and to me, that risk isn't a risk that I'd want to take. Evidently, the former owner made $70,000 in the sell out. For a hosting company of that size.. Several thousands of domains hosted.. etc etc.. $70,000 doesnt seem like a lot of money for a company of that size. - Alec Kinnear

IF the consigment is liable to Customs Duty (see the "Tax Free Allowances" section below) Customs assess the total amount of Customs Duty to be paid based on the value of the goods, PLUS the transport and insurance costs to the country of destination. - Alec Kinnear

I am experiencing the same issues as you are above after installing(updating) all prokit updates. Final Cut and Compressor don't work right anymore. I also have a 8800GTX video card with jerky mouse and all as well. I hate to re-install everything again as it took me ~2 hours installing everything...Mithrilfox...did un-installing and re-installing FCP get it to work again on your system? - Alec Kinnear

While any one of the 5 SEEDS (Sleep, Eating, Exercise, Drinking and Spirtituality) will help you lose weight, I believe there’s also a compound effect (the lollapalooza effect as investor Charlie Munger calls it) that took place in me improving in all five of these categories, even if just a little. - Alec Kinnear

He denounces Mr. Putin's remaining opponents as Western stooges or neo-Nazis, and accuses Western nations of plotting to steal Russia's oil and minerals. "When they talk to us about democracy, they're thinking about our hydrocarbon resources," he told a rare briefing for foreign reporters in June. ... - Alec Kinnear

Use the 960 for content and use the extra space for whitespace to make the content breathe. Hence you get a website that looks complete at 1280, complete with background at 1600 but still works at 960. - Alec Kinnear

The first thing you see these days when you walk out on the main alleé in Bratislava, is a huge advertisement across the front of the opera house for an ultra modern show. The image is of a woman looking up, surrounded by what appear to be mystical creatures. The name of the show: Everest. I [...] - Alec Kinnear

Forget for a moment the "debates" in Washington over Afghan War policy and, if you just focus on the construction activity and the flow of money into Afghanistan, what you see is a war that, from the point of view of the Pentagon, isn't going to end any time soon. In fact, the U.S. military's building boom in that country suggests that, in the ninth year of the Afghan War, the Pentagon has plans for a far longer-term, if not near-permanent, garrisoning of the country - Alec Kinnear

The intensity of their vocal dialogue, Sweet Williams van Ghost’s dark timbre and Marilies’ fragile singing, that is framed by Fleischmann’s somber, melancholic tunes in “Trains” also gets the owner of the Laundromat under the skin. - Alec Kinnear

Managed to catch some Viennale films and a couple of Viennale parties. The strange thing at the parties is that many of the people there had not been to any films or to just one film. I suppose at the films many of the people had not been to any parties. If you get the chance, I'd [...] - Alec Kinnear

So sad to grow old and lose people you love. Sad and beautiful. - Alec Kinnear

But from the standpoint of manual focus, it isn't necessarily so good. The rays from the larger aperture that are being blocked from getting through are the rays that show the most misfocus. This means that the focus screen has the effect of showing screen focus that is about the same as if you had stopped your lens down to f/4!! Now if you are shooting at around f/4 or slower, this isn't a problem. The screen focus will be very similar to the focus delivered by the lens. But if you are shooting at f/1.4, it's a big deal. You simply can't see the point of sharp focus. So when shooting at a large aperture with shallow DoF - precisely the place where you tend to need good critical focusing capabilities - you have a focus screen that shows too much DoF and makes the image appear to be in-focus when it isn't. - Alec Kinnear

Despite a protest from the British government, Israel refused to supply Hiss’s pathology findings or the police report. According to the British government and a report in the Israeli media, around the time of Sinclair’s death a doctor at Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital put in a request for a hyoid bone for research purposes—and eventually received a bill for shipping costs.24 Israel retained Sinclair’s $5,000. - Alec Kinnear

n a recent post about wordpress I explained how you can create a lot of pages really fast.  If that went well and you inserted a few thousand pages in your wordpress blog  the page admin became useless. Displaying the list of pages would take 3 minutes for 7000 pages on my test server. - Alec Kinnear

Now, as you've probably read already, the 720/60p mode on the 7D can't really be compared as on par to the GH1. Whereas the GH1 60p footage is incredibly clean and makes for great slomo footage, the 7D 60p footage seems very prone to artifacting (which I'm not really seeing in the 1080 mode). So, as far as image quality goes - the long and short to me is that the 7D seems much better in the 1080p/24 mode, and the GH1 really shines at 720P/60. - Alec Kinnear
