[fnftwo] Music Challenge Ellie

This song was a challenge sent in from my html group, we had to design a stat which featured this music.

I love Elephants.

You are listening to the lovely voice of Kamal.

I so remember listening to the mellow tones of Kamal singing on TV both in the UK and NZ.

Sunday evenings we used to watch a programme called songs of praise and he was often one of the guest stars. Lovely man.

Thanks for looking,

Caminhos Tortuosos
© Marilena Trujillo

Sim... irei amor meu, onde cantam
Os pássaros, onde o céu é
Mais azul, onde minha alma canta e
Voa com seus abraços... Seus beijos
E meus lábios sorrirão
Por sabê-lo tão perto... Tão meu!
Nessa noite de verão...
Lua de prata que nos assiste...
Quero seu beijo ardente queimando meus lábios...
Suas mãos indicando o caminho. Leva-me
Por seu corpo, quero perder-me em você...
E pouco importa o que há de ser!

Meus sonhos
Caminham por seu corpo e lábios,
Por todos os caminhos desse amor que
Só pede carinho. só pede luz...
Quero beijar sua a boca e na simplicidade
Do momento, amar somente!
Amo, como amo... E amando sigo,
Embriagando-me nesse desejo sem fim...
Que me impede que ande em outros caminhos...
Só esse caminho me traz canto, vida... Alegria...
Abraça-me... Preciso... Desejo esse momento...
Ama-me amor meu... Até a loucura!
Desvenda meus segredos, desnuda minha alma!...

Abraça-me agora, leve-me por seus caminhos, onde
Bem sei, encontrarei toda paixão que busquei...
Que hoje queima... Arde em mim... Se diz sem fim...
Abraça-me, jura que hoje sou você, sua pele...
Você amor, está aqui em mim!...
Diz outra vez que me ama... Jura!

Suas mãos que acariciam, seus lábios nos meus,
Sua pele na minha, esse gosto de mar... De sal...
O gosto do seu beijo convida-me amá-lo
Ser sua para sempre, ainda que sofrendo...
Quero você em mim, comigo... Só para mim!...
Faça-me amor, hoje... Agora... Sua para sempre!

Sí... Iré amor mío, donde cantan
Los pájaros, donde el cielo es
Más azul, donde mi alma canta y
Vuela con tu abrazo... Tus besos...
Y mis labios sonreirán
Por saberte tan cerca... Tan mío!
En esta noche de verano...
Bajo la luna que nos contempla,
Quiero tu beso ardiente quemando mis labios ...
Tus manos indicando el camino, llévame
Por tu cuerpo, quiero perderme en ti
Y poco importa lo que ha de ser!

Mis sueños
Caminan por tu cuerpo y labios,
Por todos los caminos de este amor que
Sólo pide cariño, sólo pide luz,
Quiero besar tu boca y en la simplicidad
Del momento, amar solamente!
Amo, cómo amo... y amando sigo
Embriagándome en este deseo sin fin...
Que me impide andar otros caminos...
Sólo este camino me trae canto, vida.. alegría...
Abrázame... Preciso ... Deseo este momento...
Ámame mi amor... Hasta la locura!
Devela mis secretos, desnuda mi alma!...

Abrázame ahora, llévame por tus caminos, donde
Bien sé, encontraré toda la pasión que busqué ...
Que hoy quema... Arde en mí... Y que no tiene fin...
Abrázame, jura que hoy soy tuya, tu piel...
Tú amor, estás aquí en mí!...
Di otra vez que me amas... Júralo!

Tus manos que acarician, tus labios en los míos,
Tu piel en la mía, este gusto de mar... De sal...
El gusto de tu beso, me invitan a amarte
A ser tuya para siempre, aun sufriendo...
Te quiero en mí, conmigo... Sólo para mí!...
Hazme el amor, hoy... Ahora... Tuya para siempre!

Well, perhaps being overly picky, I'd say you had one too many in that last

Thanks, although I don't buy SD cards that expensive, as none of my
cameras need them. The fastest reader I have is my Sharkoon:

I recently read an article on a german online magazine, www.spiegel.de , how
a hard drive's free space, when formatted, does not exacltly match the
advertised size. For example, my 320 GBHitachi deskstar sata 2 10400 rpm
formatted is 298 GB (Win XP greek).
YMMV.

Hmm. I didn't check prices in the article, but I have a number of
the Kingston and Transcend SDHC (2,4,8 and 16GB) cards and some of
them appeared to be mentioned in the article. While I can't recall
what I paid for most of these, they were all quite reasonably
priced. I think J&R (local to me) had 4GB Kingston SDHC and 4GB
SanDisk CF card for about $6, but I paid about $15 several months
earlier for a slower 8 GB Class 2 SanDisk card because that was good
enough for my mp3 player/jpg viewer.

Well, dahhhhh! Big surprise.

Fist of all any file system has administrative overhead. Where do you
suppose directories, free sector list, etc. are stored?

And second there's the difference between decimal and binary "kilo",
"mega", and "giga", the former based on 10^3 and used by HD
manufacturers, the later based on 2^10 and commonly used in computer
science. That difference is 2.4%.

Yes, this has been true since the beginning. A certain amount of
headroom is needed for drivers, and secret sauce. .

It was just the class of card - I normally buy SanDisk Ultra, and not the
Extreme. Amongst the different manufacturers there is quite a speed
difference, and the USB memory sticks (as opposed to cards) can be very
slow writers.

I have Windows systems here routinely handling 40GB/day 24 x 7 over USB
2.0, so it's not that bad.

I don't think anyone claims it provides the ultimate disk performance, but
the 100-300GB 2.5-inch portable drives are very handy backup devices....

True, you are right. I was thinking kB only.

A long time ago in the good old days it was customary to use use lower
case to denote decimal and upper case to denote binary. So 1kB would be
1000 bytes and 1KB would be 1024 bytes.

TOPIC: Tiny old pancake lens in modern DSLR camera - What a contrast!
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.photo.digital/t/a3efd7a0d81d3bfa?hl=en
==============================================================================

== 1 of 2 ==
Date: Sun, Feb 22 2009 7:22 am
From: aniramca@gmail.com

Anyone ever see a picture of a 50mm fixed Iens (Industar from Russia)
fit into a DSLR camera. It looks very strange, but apparently it
works.
See the following websites for the photos, or just google it in the
internet:
http://www.galactinus.net/vilva/retro/eos350d_industar50.html
http://www.retrocamera.net/2009/01/magic-with-the-industar-50-2/
I am surprised to see that there seem to be no additional
modifications (except for the adapter ring to mount on the DSLR), and
one of the website above shows reasonable picture quality.

I heard that the pancake fixed lens generally follow a simple design
from the Zeiss Tessar lens. I believe that the new Olympus 25mm 1:2.8
pancake lens also utilize the same design. How much larger is the
Olympus lens in comparison to the Industar-50mm lens? I could not get
dimensions for any of these lens, although the photos on the websites
show how tiny they are. It would be interesting if an adapter can be
made available for the old Industar (or Zeiss Tessar) lenses to fit a
Panasonic Lumix G1.

Looking at the photos of a modern DSLR camera with these tiny lens,
how come they cannot come up with smaller size DSLR (containing at
least APS-C size sensor). Is it physically impossible, or the camera
industry just does not want to go in this direction?

Comments?

Works in a fashion. Manual focus, and manual exposure. If you really
want to go retro, just buy an M42 mount film camera, and you have a
choice of bargain priced cameras and bits.

The newish Olympus does this doesnt it?
Complete with a pancake lens, see here:

Seems preety good to me, if I wasnt tied into Canon, I would get one.

I am trying to take a picture of a pair of scissors. I have scissors on a
piece of white paper.
When I transfer to my PC the white paper is bluish and the glare on the
(metal) scissors usually ruins the shot.
Or if I dont get the glare I tend to lose the detail/
I don`t have any pro equipement and as its only a few shots so it wouldn`t
be worth buying. (using Nikon SLR)

Any thoughts on how best to take these shots.

Build yourself a light box.

In its simplest form, it's a diffused light with a controlled
background.

Put a white sheet of cloth or paper on a table. Take a BIG cardboard
box and spray paint it white. Cut a whole in it for your camera
lens. Cut two more holes -- one to left and one to right -- in the
box. Cover the light holes with something light that will diffuse the
light -- maybe wax paper. Shine a light in from each side. Take your
picture with out the scissors there. Use your camera's white balance
feature to balance the photo. Stick in the scissors and shoot away.

If you don't have white spray paint and/or are too cheap to buy
some :-) you can tape some white copy paper to all of the inside
edges. You can steal the paper from work.

How will the buyer prove he returned the item and not just an empty
box?

This is the common scan on Ebay. You buy something, then go to Paypal
for a "not as described" claim, Paypal takes the money out of the
seller's account immediately, pending seeing your proof of posting,
and then they refund you. You keep the original item and you also get
your money back.

Happens all the time, now that you cannot give bad feedback to a
buyer.

ND,

I believe that the PS team is working with both nVidia and ATI on issues. Progress has been made. Several PS .release betas have been issued and tested. In my personal case, the second PS .beta resolved many of my OGL issues. Important issues remain and I am sure they will be resolved.

It will take time -- just the nature of the beast. In my 17 years as an IT and Operations executive; for any/all SW, the X.1 will always be the safer route. You can always expect some pain with the X.0 release.

Gamers are a very important part of the market, but many of the very high-end cards are really not directed there. Look at the nVidia CX series as an example. Most typical gamers do not spend $2K - $4K USD on a card.

My laptop has this chipset as it's graphic card: Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset

I'm running Vista Home Edition with 3G RAM and I just updated the graphic card drivers.

Photoshop's GPU options are greyed out, and I can't use the rotate tool. Does this chipset simply not have the capacity to support whatever the program wants, or am I just not configuring something right?

The laptop is an ASUS F80L (which has not much information online itself).

Thanks.

You can copy and paste that, but remove the serial number if you show it on the Internet.

== 1 of 1 ==
Date: Sun, Feb 22 2009 3:40 am
From: Gernot_Hoffmann@adobeforums.com

The ICC profile AdobeRGB1998 doesn't contain
a linear segment. The tone reproduction curve
is defined by a mathematical power function
with exponent 2.2.
Similarly for ProPhotoRGB, with exponent 1.8.
This can be shown by ICC Profile Inspector.
<http://www.color.org/profileinspector.xalter>

There are good reasons for using a linear slope
at the dark end, but IMO the profiles should be
re-defined. Otherwise some inaccuracies can be
expected.

ICC Profile Inspector doesn't tell us an exponent
for sRGB, because the TRC is defined by a linear
part and a power function with exponent 2.4.
This delivers with good accuracy an average expo-
nent of 2.2.

What is the difference between Actual Pixels and Actual Print Size?

== 2 of 5 ==
Date: Sun, Feb 22 2009 7:21 am
From: Dennis_S@adobeforums.com

I assume you are referring to the special zoom modes of "Actual Pixels" and "Print Size".

Actual pixels displays the image on your monitor so that 1 image pixel uses exactly 1 monitor pixel. This zoom state allows you to see the maximum amount of detail available in your image, including detail that you will not likely see if you print at common sizes.

Print size (I don't remember ever seeing "Actual Print Size" anywhere in Photoshop) is Photoshop's attempt to show you the image at roughly the same dimensions on screen (in inches or centimeters, not pixels) that it will print at.

In order for Print Size to work reasonably well, you need to make sure that the units in the Preferences are set correctly. To check this, do the following:
Edit>Preferences>Units and Rulers...
Look at the number for Screen Resolution. This needs to be set at the pixels per inch for your monitor. In the past, this was commonly thought of as 72 but these days monitors often have PPIs in the 90s or greater. You can calculate this for your monitor by measuring the width of the screen and then divide the pixel width of your monitor by this number. In my case for example, my monitor displays 1920 pixels horizontally and is 20.5 inches wide. That makes my Screen Resolution approx. 94 pixels per inch (1920/20.5).

Once you have the preference set correctly, then when you select "Print Size" the image will appear on-screen at about the same dimensions as it will print, assuming the current document dimensions and resolutions (as shown in Image>Image Size, for example) are maintained through to printing.

For example, if Image>Image Size tells you that you currently have an image that is 8x10 inches, then if you select the zoom mode of "Print Size", the image should be approx. 8x10 inches on your screen.

From: "John Joslin"

Actual pixels shows the image at 100%, Print Size should show the image at approximately the size it will print, but the real print size is shown in the Document Size box in the Image size dialog.

Someone else asked the same question recently. If you can change the HTML code for your link to the web gallery you could add TARGET="blank" like this HREF="http://www.nnnnnnnnnnnn.co.uk" TARGET="_blank".
This will open your slide show in a new window so when you close it your web site will still be in view. There are other ways to do it but this way is quite easy.
