  1. whats the difference between the Nikor 50mm f/1.8 D, 50mm f/1.4 D AF, and 50mm 1.2 D lenses besides the obvious F-stop. i'm not sure if I labeled them all correctly, but why does the 1.2 cost 200 bucks more than the 1.8?

    The Claim: Beware of Drink Mixers Based on Diet Soda

    By ANAHAD O’CONNOR

    THE FACTS

    Usually it is solely the liquor component of a cocktail — not the mixer — that determines its inebriating effects. But some people contend the artificial sweeteners in diet soda speed the absorption of alcohol.

    Odd, perhaps, but research suggests it’s true. In a 2006 study, a team of scientists recruited healthy subjects and had them consume vodka cocktails. On some occasions, it was a 20-ounce drink mixed with a sugar-sweetened beverage, and on others it was a nearly identical drink mixed instead with a diet beverage.

    In the diet-mixer conditions, the alcohol entered the subjects’ bloodstream about 15 minutes faster, and their blood-alcohol concentration was higher, peaking at 0.05 percent, compared with 0.03 percent with the regular mixer.

    One theory is that the alcohol is absorbed more quickly because there is no sugar to slow it down, which would mean that club soda would have a similar effect. A second study in 2007 also showed that alcohol was absorbed far more quickly when mixed with carbonated beverages than with flat mixers, possibly because of the effervescence. As a result, experts say, it’s best to choose flat mixers like orange or cranberry juice over diet sodas or juices.

    THE BOTTOM LINE

    Compared with sugar-sweetened drinks, artificial sweeteners can speed inebriation.

  3. SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A New Mexico appeals court on Friday ruled against a Los Alamos man who wanted to change his name to a phrase containing a popular four-letter obscenity.

    The man appealed after a state district judge in Bernalillo County refused his request to change his name to "F--- Censorship!"

    Judge Nan Nash ruled that the proposed name change was "obscene, offensive and would not comport with common decency."

    The man - whose current legal name is Variable - argued on appeal that it was improper government censorship to deny him the name change.

    "We do not believe that the district court's action infringes on petitioner's right to free speech," a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals said in its ruling.

    The man has the right to call himself whatever he wants, unless there's fraud or misrepresentation involved, the judges said.

    But once he seeks court approval for a name change, the court has the authority to turn him down on several grounds, including if the name is offensive to common decency and good taste, the judges ruled.

    That law was clarified in a 2004 case in the same court that apparently involved the same petitioner. In that case, an Albuquerque man whose name was Snaphappy Fishsuit Mokiligon got the go-ahead from the appeals court to change his name to Variable.
