Community members, first responders and local leaders gathered at Clark Botanical Garden in Albertson for the Sept. 11 anniversary memorial service Tuesday morning.
It was a service filled with remembrance but also unity. The service began at 8:30 a.m., just minutes before 8:38 a.m., the exact time that that the first plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center eleven years ago.
Standing at a podium positioned before a remnant of steel from the World Trade Center, began the ceremony with opening remarks and a moment of silence.
"The courage of the those people – those men and women who ran into the smoke-filled buildings while others were trying to run out – keeps our faith in the capacity of human kindness," Gross said.
Rabbi Anchelle Perl of Chabad of Mineola delivered the Invocation, followed by the Presentation of the Colors by the Albertson VFW. Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman led the Pledge of Allegiance and Melissa Goscinski sang the National Anthem.
In his address, spoke of Sept. 11's impact on North Hempstead.
"We're not the same as communities throughout the world that commemorate this moment," he told the crowd. "We were a part of it. We saw it. We lived it."

"It is our tragedy, and it is our nation's tragedy. It is the world's tragedy," he added. "And yet the hope and the positive that comes from uniting of course is something we always look for. We yearn for something positive that comes from disaster." He spoke too of justice and building community.
Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel read "The Truly Great," a poem by Stephen Spender. She was followed by Seemi Ahmed, a Muslim chaplain from Hofstra University.
"As people of conscience, let us stand together to fight bigotry, hatred, fear-mongering, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, which keeps increasing," Ahmed said, referring to the massacre at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin.
Chhatar Singh Sahni, director of the Sikh Organization of New York, said that the Sikh faith "teaches us to believe in one God" who "loves His creations without any distinction whatsoever."
In remembering the victims of 9/11, he added, "Let us resolve to prevent any such recurrence in the future."
The town councilmembers read the names of the 53 people who lived in North Hempstead and perished on Sept. 11, with the ringing of a single bell sounding after each name.
The Long Island Conservatory provided musical performances.
The events of Sept. 11 were a calling for Reverend Tom Tassone, now of Saint Aidan's Church in New Hyde Park to "preach a God of life and love, not a God of hate and deaf."
"In the late morning I got into my car and I drove to the seminary and I applied that very day," he told the audience.
The Rev. Dr. Charles R. Vogeley of offered a moving Benediction.
The Albertson VFW thundered the rifle salute and one of their own intoned Taps.
Thirteen-year-old Corey McCluskey from Manhasset closed the service with a performance on the bagpipes, with the assembled filing out to haunting strains of "Amazing Grace."

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Pros: It's really elegant and functional and a great idea for women who like to wear make-up everyday. The finish is not sticky, on the contrary, it runs smoothly on your skin and it never clumps, not even if you get a little sweaty. The powder seems to be really good quality, it smells wonderful and the heart shape is cute and it is really light and fun.
Cons: They don't send it to you wrapped in bubble plastic, so the poor thing has to endure all the mishaps of the handling of the delivery. The result is that if you are in luck you will receive the powder in compact form; if you are unlucky, you will receive it all cracked and undone.
Other: I don't really know, perhaps buy it per unit may secure you receive this wonderful product in one piece so that you can actually use it.

Southwood Valley Elementary students are closer to getting an outdoor basketball court.
Crews took time to pour the cement for the court Thursday as part of the realization of a fundraising project that was conducted by the Texas A&M Basketball teams to ensure all local elementary students had a place to play.
Southwood Valley Elementary was the only school in the College Station School District that does not have an outdoor basketball court.
The Aggie men's and women's basketball programs donated $10,000 dollars for the court. Local businesses also supported the project.

Maybe this is how our black and Hispanic neighbors have always felt — left out, on the fringe, powerless. Watching the pageantry of the Inauguration Day activities left me feeling sad. The sky was blue but to me it looked gray. I realized that I had become a minority in my own country: an employed white male taxpayer who does not depend on government hand-outs and is a Christian.
My wife and I have been reading Tip O'Neill's autobiography. I miss the days when men of goodwill could fiercely debate their ideas then share camaraderie like Tip and Reagan did, instead of bitter partisanship. Acrimony and suspicion pollute our political environment. It is not fun to watch.
I am worried about our future as a free people. It isn't just the ultra-wealthy who are now being impacted by strangling taxes and tedious regulations, but the little people, the low-profile job-creators like my son-in-law's small business. I am worried that the majority of Americans don't worry about our ballooning national debt or our runaway train of federal spending. Yet I feel powerless to fix it. I worry about political correctness muzzling our freedom of speech, so that voices of conscience are silent when addressing morality.
Can I celebrate that America's long apartheid has been laid to rest? Yes! I am glad that America could elect a black president. But I am sad that Obama is a radical socialist and an elite progressive. I am sad that the era of Reagan is over. I am sad that the Republican Party did such a handy job of political suicide.
OK, so Obama was dealt a tough hand to begin with. Recession had begun. Wall Street's corporate greed and their banker buddies, the cabal of financial manipulators behind the scenes, got uncovered. But none of them went to jail. They just wiped out a generation's retirement savings. But Obama made it worse. He spent his first term doubling down on health care, not creating jobs. Now his second term is aimed at immigration, global warming and gay rights. His focus is bent on maintaining Democratic dominion. I don't get it. Don't we deserve a president who leads in behalf of all the people, not just his party?
Now in spite of all this, I have hope. Why? Because, my trust is in God. The Lord gave us this great land. The Lord blessed us to build this great nation. If we call on Him, if we confess and forsake our sins, He will hear us and heal our land. America has been the great defender of liberty, of the Church, and of Israel. God has blessed America. May we be purged of all racism, hatred, and bigotry!
One more factor comes into play — prayer. I am praying for our president and so are many Christians across America. Prayer changes things. The Bible commands us to pray for all those in authority. Leaders need wisdom, protection, and good counselors. Perhaps Obama will realize, like King David did, that the Lord brought him to power for the sake of His people, not for his own ambition. My prayers are with Mr. Obama. (Next week: Racism is a Sin)

The social gaming company makes it official: OMGPOP will close next month and only Draw Something franchise will survive.
The social-gaming company said third-quarter earnings will be lousy as it writes off a big chunk of its OMGPOP acquisition. Full-year numbers will also suffer, and shares dropped more than 20 percent after hours.
CEO Dan Porter apologizes for comments he made about Shay Pierce, a former OMGPOP employee who explained why he didn't join Zynga with the rest of his colleagues.
A former OMGPOP developer says he didn't join buyer Zynga along with the rest of the company because the company might have shut down his own game. Also, he thinks Zynga's evil.
update The rumors were right. Zynga is buying the company that created the megahit app Draw Something.
With more than 20 million downloads in less than six weeks, Draw Something is a mobile gaming phenomenon. Now it looks like Zynga might be trying to get a piece of that pie.
Zynga's layoff effectively means the closure of OMGPOP, leaving Zynga's remaining U.S. offices to pick up the slack for the popular Draw Something franchise.
The free game is available now in Apple's App Store and the Google Play marketplace.
Creator of OMGPOP's Draw Something is yet another member of Zynga's executive team to step out the door.
The uber-popular social game is topping download charts and getting users to create 3,000 drawings per second.

Stephen Atkinson's second career start at Missouri Southern produced a career-high scoring performance.
Atkinson fired in 13 points in the first 11 minutes and finished with 20 as the Lions coasted past Central Bible College from Springfield 69-39 on Tuesday night at the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center.
Season scoring leaders Marquis Addison and Jordan Talbert played 24 minutes apiece and contributed 10 and nine points, respectively, as the Lions (5-3) won their final game before Saturday afternoon's MIAA opener at Truman State.
"We knew coming into this game that we were trying to get ready for conference," Atkinson said. "Not overlooking them or anything, but we're trying to get on a good roll and get our first conference win on the road this weekend."
The Lions also gave head coach Robert Corn career victory No. 380, moving him into fourth place in league history. Corn became the Lions' coach in the 1989-90 season, the same time that the school joined the MIAA.
"It says you've been in one place a long time," Corn said. "We've had some pretty nice years. We've also had a few where it was a struggle, but we've had a lot of good kids come through the program and a lot of very talented kids come through the program. All the credit for anything like this goes to them.
The Lions shot 62 percent (16-of-26) while building a 40-18 halftime cushion and finished at 51 percent (29-of-57).
"We wanted to make sure we were patient, careful with the basketball and not have a lot of turnovers," Corn said. "We didn't do a very good job the first half — we had 10 turnovers, way too many, then we had only four the second half. We wanted to make sure we were solid defensively, make them take tough shots. I thought we did a decent job of that, but we still gave up too many offensive rebounds. They had 10 the first half, which is way too many."
After going 0-for-8 from 3-point range in Saturday night's road victory over Arkansas Tech, the Lions drilled three treys — two by Addison and one by Atkinson — in the first 90 seconds this time and were 5-of-10 for the game.
Atkinson, 6-foot-6, 195-pound sophomore from Benton, Ky., hit his first five shots from the floor – one a 3-pointer from the left wing – and both free-throw attempts. Atkinson tallied eight straight points — three baskets and two free throws — as the Lions built a 28-8 lead with nine minutes left in the first half.
"That was nice to see because we've always felt like Stephen was a threat offensively," Corn said. "The way we're running our offense right now, he can really thrive with his ability to shoot the basketball on the pick and pop. It was nice to see him come out and be aggressive, to look for his shot and be able to hit his shot."
Atkinson passed his former high of 14 points last season against Truman State with a basket one minute into the second half. He wound up 8-of-15 from the floor, 2-of-3 from long range and 2-of-2 at the line, and he grabbed a career-best seven rebounds in 23 minutes.
"Shots weren't falling for me in the second half," Atkinson said. "You have to go through contact and stay strong."
Jake Brown, Mason Horsley and Tim Brake scored eight points each for CBC (3-9), and Tony Malone claimed nine rebounds. The Spartans shot 31 percent from the floor (16-of-52, including 4-of-9 from the arc).

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said he tries to be the state's biggest cheerleader, and on Friday he detailed why he believes Hoosiers have much to boast about.
"Indiana continues to be the fiscal envy of the country," Pence said during a One Southern Indiana luncheon at The Grand in New Albany.
The Republican's latest reasoning for touting Indiana's economic condition was the $483 million surplus to end fiscal year 2013 -- $93 million higher than the budget bill projected -- which Pence and state officials announced on Thursday.
The state also garnered $86 million more in reserves than anticipated during fiscal year 2013 which concluded last month, bringing total reserves to more than $1.94 billion.
On top of the surplus and reserves, with cuts including the end of the inheritance tax and a reduction to the state income tax, Pence said Indiana will experience a $1.2 billion decrease in levies over the next two years.
"Indiana will be the lowest-taxed state in the Midwest" when all the tax cuts become official, Pence said.
However some state Democratic leaders see the budget surplus and tax cuts differently.
House Minority Leader Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, told the Associated Press on Thursday that the surplus was the result of sizable cuts to services during recent years.
"Our unemployment rate still remains around 8 percent," Pelath told the Associated Press. "Families still are struggling to keep their heads above water. Our local schools still must grapple with doing more with less."
Pence said during his time touring Indiana, he's found Hoosiers to be positive and optimistic about the future.
Even so, he conceded that while forecasts call for continued job growth and decreased unemployment, there's more work to be done.
Pence vowed to "drive policies relentlessly" to get more Hoosiers back into the workforce, laying out four pillars that would help accomplish the task: fiscal responsibility; low taxes; investment in infrastructure, such as roads and bridges; and a better-skilled, better-educated workforce.
One way the administration has sought to promote job growth and aid businesses is through a statewide moratorium on new regulations, he continued.
"We have made regulatory reform a priority in this administration," Pence said. "We are cutting taxes and cutting red tape in Indiana."
His administration on Friday launched the website www.in.gov/cutredtape which details the regulatory moratorium, and provides a link for public input on the process.
Beyond lowering taxes, reviewing and reducing regulations and providing $800 million for roads and bridges in Indiana, Pence said training a skilled workforce is vital.
Vocational education has to be a part of building a better workforce, Pence said. He announced that next week, the state will begin rolling out its Regional Works Councils which were approved by the General Assembly in April.
The councils will bring together educators and business leaders to discuss ways high schools can better train students to enter the workforce, Pence said.
It's a step toward again making career and vocational education a priority in Indiana, as some students might be better suited to seek a job instead of a college degree after high school, he continued.
"Regardless of where you started, and regardless of where you want to start in life, our schools are going to work for you," Pence said. "Education ought to be about finding where your God-given abilities are, and [where] your passions are."
Foundations give $50,000 for project
• The Paul W. Ogle Foundation and the Duke Energy Foundation on Friday made a $50,000 contribution toward the construction of a heavy-haul road and rail line, presenting a check at the conclusion of Gov. Mike Pence's talk at The Grand.
The $22 million-plus road, when completed, will connect the Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville, River Ridge Commerce Center and the under-construction east-end bridge.
Several governmental bodies have already designated money or voiced support for the project.
• Visit the website www.in.gov/cutredtape to learn more about Gov. Mike Pence's moratorium on business regulations, as well as to provide input on the process.

Blogger complied the best tips found on the Web.
David at My Two Dollars has prepared what has to be the granddaddy of all how-to-save lists. His post is called, appropriately, "The big list: 1,019 different ways to save money."
OK, there is some repetition. (Believe it or not, brown-bagging your lunch for work comes up a number of times.) But David has gathered the best money-saving tips from the personal-finance blogosphere and assembled them in one place. We dare you to come up with one that's not included.
Savings tips are broken down by spending categories, including utilities, cars, food and health care. Among the links:
You can sign up for e-mail alerts about defective products.
We got a lukewarm response when we urged readers to sign up for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's daily e-mail report about recalls. How boring, you thought. Well, folks, you don't know what you're missing.
Every day we scan the e-mail and invariably cringe. At the top of today's list: Under Armour's voluntary recall of about 211,000 athletic cups. Wouldn't you want to know about it if you owned one of them? It also said:
Hazard: The cups can break if hit, posing a risk of serious injury hazard to athletes.
Incidents/injuries: Under Armour has received five reports of cups breaking, including an injury involving cuts and bruising.
We tried to warn you. And sometimes these notices are even worse.
Do you ever regret not spending?
This guest post comes from Frank Curmudgeon at Bad Money Advice.
As any reader of Bad Money Advice knows, I enjoy nothing more than tweaking the nose of personal-finance conventional wisdom. Well, joy of joys, The New York Times recently had an article, in the science section no less, that spits in conventional wisdom's face, knees it in the groin and then kicks it as it rolls on the ground.
The piece discussed the work (.pdf file) of Ran Kivetz and Anat Keinan, two professors of marketing from the Columbia and Harvard business schools, respectively. (Marketing professor is, incidentally, the same line of work as the authors of "The Millionaire Next Door.") They have discovered a new malady to avoid: saver's remorse. It's just what it sounds like: that sad feeling you get with money in your pocket that you could have spent in some enjoyable way but, in a moment of weakness, chose to save.
This is just so awesome.
Free entertainment abounds online.
One luxury you can cut when costs for essentials are rising is your cable or satellite TV service. But how can you still watch your favorite shows?
David at My Two Dollars presents "35 ways to watch television without cable or satellite," and he's not just talking rabbit ears. After Option No. 1, an antenna, the rest are Web sites. Readers provided more suggestions, so the list is now up to 42 possibilities.
With a little care, your duds won't die early.
This post comes from Andrea Dickson at partner blog Wise Bread.
With everyone trying to stretch their dollars further these days, it makes sense to take care of the things we have, rather than buy replacements. This goes for clothing as much as anything else we own and use on a daily basis.
As a reformed clotheshorse, I struggle to prevent myself from shopping for new duds on a daily basis.
If you delay using them, you can achieve bigger savings.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Many people don't bother to clip coupons, mostly because they believe that a 50-cent coupon isn't worth the effort. On the surface, I agree. Without a clever coupon strategy, it's probably not worth the effort.
About two months ago, I was talking about this with a friend who works for Hy-Vee, a grocery store chain here in Iowa. He gave me a tip: Take the coupon section out of the Sunday paper and put it aside for four weeks. Then open it up and clip everything that's even remotely of interest, whether you'd normally buy it or not.

NORMAN — Michael Moorman, director of the University of Oklahoma's Architectural and Engineering Services and University Architect, has announced his retirement, effective Jan. 1.
Moorman joined the OU staff in 1982 and, since 1995, has served as director of A&E Services, during which time he has guided more than $1.6 billion in new construction or major renovation projects for OU's Norman, Oklahoma City and Tulsa campuses. He is responsible for the capital improvements program on all three campuses and long-range campus planning for the University.
Moorman first served as assistant director for A&E Services and as the university's campus planner, during which time he earned a Master of Business Administration from OU.
He has overseen major projects for numerous academic and research facilities, including comprehensive development planning for OU's Research Campus.
Moorman cites the creation of Brooks Mall as one of the most important campus changes with which he has been involved.
Moorman also represented OU's Office of the President on the four-member Architectural Review Board for the development of University North Park.
Boren said that he will recommend that the OU Board of Regents approve the appointment of Brian Holderread, project director for Manhattan Construction Co. of Oklahoma City, to serve as director of A&E Services, effective Nov. 1.

My current routine is loosely based of WBB1 and I like it for the most part. However, I was reading an article yesterday that focused primarily on power lifting, but applicable none the less. It mentioned that use of a variety of alterations to one's lift. I got to thinking...
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Would I notice any benefits from a body building standpoint to alternate weeks of slow, heavy sets and fast, light sets?
From what I've heard this is what Westside Barbell's methods are based around.
Full Powerlifting
Squat - 595lbs -- 270kg -- Dec. 31, '09 (Provincial Record @100kg class)
Bench - 374lbs -- 170kg -- Dec 20, '08 (@100kg class)
Dead - 589lbs -- 267.5kg -- Dec 20, '08 (Provincial Record @100kg class)
Total: 1537lbs -- 697.5kg -- Dec 20, '08 (Provincial Record @ 100kg class)
Bench Only -- 358lbs -- 162.5kg -- Nov. 25, '07 (Provincial Record @ 90kg class)
Bench Only -- 376lbs -- 171kg -- Jan. 26, '08 (Provincial Record @ 100kg class)
On my speed days I get a greater pump and more 'burn' than on my heavy days. There is waay more muscle stimulation in the speed.
Here are a couple of articles for you - adapting the Westside PL'ing to Bodybuilding:

Christmas day, and I was thinking about lifting as I sit of my stationary bike. Actually, I was reading the latest issue of Ironman magazine and I finally came across what I think is a very good article. The article is in the February issue of Ironman and is titled E.R. (Extreme Recovery). It is written by Michael Gundill, and while I normally cringe at most of the stuff written in the bodybuilding mags, I think this article is pretty good stuff. As I was reading the article, a few points made about recovery made an idea, that I have been toying with recently, crystallize in my mind.
The article talks about recovery in phases. Recovery of energy stores, recovery of the endocrine system, contractile or muscular recovery, and recovery of the nervous system (in order of fastest to slowest to recover). Now, in the past I have argued that nervous system recovery is not a valid part of the equation, and I have decided that I was incorrect. Recovery of energy stores usually occurs within 48 hours with the time varying with the intensity and duration of the exercise performed. Return to a resting state for the endocrine system, assuming one is not overtraining, usually takes place within 24 hours. Recovery at the contractile level usually takes place within 48 hours, again varying with the intensity and volume of training. Now the interesting part, nervous system recovery. If any of you have ever checked out my training log, you will note that I had only trained a body part once every 17-20 days. Most of you probably think I am crazy, lazy, or both. As I have stated, my reasons for such prolonged rest periods were due to the fact that if I trained sooner I would not realize gains in strength. As of late, I have been questioning this prolonged rest period, as I felt that even though it was necessary to strength gains, it was too long for maximum progress. My only option, until recently, would have been to reduce volume in order to require less recovery time. Again, many of you will note that I already train in a very abbreviated fashion; there really was no room for a reduction in volume. I had tried 1 set to failure, but felt that the 1 set was insufficient to elicit maximum gains. So, I was in a quandary.
I have often wondered why recovery seemed to take so darn long for me. I attributed it to the fact that I am at a relatively advanced stage in my development, relative to my individual genetics. I also attributed it to the stresses in my life due to work and family (I have a job which is extremely stressful to me). Intuitively and empirically, I came to realize that the stresses in my life had caused my body to require greater periods to recover from intense training sessions.
I have not changed my mind with respect to what I just stated, but I have come up with a new solution to the problem. Back to the nervous system recovery issue. As I continued to read the article, it mentioned a study done by a German professor. In a nutshell, the study involved 2 groups. The first group performed 5 sets of 3 reps in the bench press. The "reps" only consisted of the concentric (lifting) phase of the movement. The second group had to perform the same 5 sets of 3 reps, but they performed complete reps (positive and negative, or raising and lowering the weight). Both groups were then monitored for recovery of strength. The first group experienced a decline in strength for the first 48 hours followed by an increase of 21.5% on day 3. As time progressed, so did strength gains. By day 7, strength in this group was up by 24%. 10 days after training, this group peaked at a 27% increase in strength. For group 2, similar results occurred, initially. The second group experienced a greater strength loss in the first 48 hours. On the 3rd day, strength was up 20% (vs. 21.5 in group 1). After 7 days, strength was up 24% (same as group 1). By 10 days, strength was up 27.5% (.5% greater than group 1). Unlike group 1, strength did not peak after 10 days, after 3 weeks (group 1 had regressed to baseline levels by this time), group 2 was up just over 29% in strength. It may have gone on longer, but the study stopped at this point.
Read the above paragraph again if you only skimmed it. This was what solidified my thinking. Ok, see if you can follow me here. Group 2 trained more intensely as the negative portion of a lift has proven to be the more stressful to the body, and they included the negative portion of the lift. This greater intensity lead to a greater initial decrease in strength, followed by greater and more prolonged gains. This backs up the theory behind Arthur Jones' teachings of brief/high intensity exercise. The higher the intensity of training, the greater the stimulus, and thus the greater the potential gains assuming one allows sufficient rest for recovery to occur. Now, as previously stated, it has been shown that contractile, energy, and hormonal recovery occurs within 72 hours in most cases. This means that the increased gains in strength by group 2 after 3 weeks were due to something else, nervous system recovery. Nervous system recovery, therefore, can take much longer to occur. Nervous system recovery time varies with intensity. Thus, the greater the intensity of the training session, the greater the amount of time that will be required for nervous recovery. This presents a problem in my opinion. Muscular strength is primarily due to 2 factors, neural efficiency and the size of the contractile fibers. Remember earlier in this post when I mentioned that contractile recovery usually occurs within 48 hours? So, your muscles are recovered in 48 hours, but your nervous system may not be optimally recovered for 3 weeks. How does one get around this problem?
In the past, I tried to get around the problem by waiting for neural recovery (unknowingly). Hence my 17-20 day periods between sessions for body parts (i.e., I had noted the same results as those in the study mentioned in my own training---I just hadn't put a name to it). As a side note, I want to reiterate that I feel that this problem being discussed becomes more pronounced as a trainee progresses towards their individual genetic potential. You may be thinking that you have made great gains by training a body part once, even twice per week. Well, you may have, but you were not optimizing your training. Group 2 made a 20% gain in strength after only 3 days of rest. Obviously, all recovery factors had occurred except for optimal neural recovery. So, one can gain without allowing for optimal neural recovery, but not optimally . Again, what do you do? Do you periodize your training? Well, that helps to a certain extent as sub-failure/lower percentage load training will not result in as much recovery time needed for the nervous system, so during phases of training, which are not geared towards maximum strength, a greater degree of relative neural recovery can occur. Traditional periodization will still not address the issue of optimizing your training because in maximum strength phases the nervous element is not being optimized as proper recovery time will not be allowed. Do you just train to failure with low sets and wait 2 weeks or more between sessions (as I did)? Again, no. During the extended rest period, the contractile portion of the strength equation will not be optimized. If the initial hypertrophy that training has stimulated does occur, then it will certainly start to regress before the nervous system has had a chance to fully recover. Remember, studies have shown that contractile recovery usually occurs within 48 hours. Let us stretch this out and say that it might take double that in an advanced trainee training with high intensity. Once the contractile fibers have grown, they will not stay large unless stimulated to do so. In the 2-3 week plus recovery period for the nervous system, if the lifter rests, the contractile fibers will very likely begin to atrophy and return to prior levels. It is important to note that the lifter may still be stronger in his next session due to neural factors, but he will not be as strong as he could have if he had maintained his contractile hypertrophy and realized the neural gains.
So, what is my solution to all of this? What I have decided to do, as a self-experiment, is to mix sub-maximal training days in between my standard sessions. In other words, by doing so, I hope to cause my body to maintain the contractile hypertrophy caused by my standard sessions (2-4 sets per body part taken to failure), and yet still allow my nervous system full recovery. I will utilize a version of the "active rest" theory. These sub-maximal sessions will be performed with weights in the 70-80% range of my loads used during my sessions to failure. I will perform 4-6 reps and theses sets will not be taken to anywhere near failure.
In theory, these sessions will not serve as great stressors to the nervous system (thus minimally impeding nervous system recovery), but they will provide sufficient stimulus to the contractile fibers to maintain any growth caused by my last intense session. If this works, it will be a superior method to both H.I.T and periodization training relative to size and strength produced. We shall see.....
Didn't I tell you this 10 months ago?
Sounds like you're essentially going to try a version of the "short-term wave periodization" I wrote about in my article.
I think you'll see good results from training that way. Good luck.

Powerman- Haven't had a chance to read your article yet but I will check it out ASAP.
I take it you're just exercising your rapier wit. If this is a serious question, Chris is saying you can make gains by lifting without regard to neural recovery. Chris is a very advanced lifter nearing his natural genetic potential. If Chris chooses to lift without regard to neural and muscular recovery he will probably not achieve that last nth of size and strength. Lift away.Originally posted by Reinier
Cant i just lift and get it over with?
I think what Chris is saying is that he wants to decrease intensity to keep hypertrophy from regressing. Basically keeping his muscles "awake" with very low intensity training one week and then going back to high intensity the next week. This is only an example being that he will customize his own training scedule. But you get the idea. This will keeping the muscles from regressing while keeping the nervous system from getting burned out. Basically trying to get the best of both worlds. It's something I've never heard of and in theory makes sense.
My brain hurts now.
Sometimes I think there is too much thought put into training... but we need people to think for the rest of us. It makes it better for everybody else. Let us know what's up....
It's like I'm a juicer... but I'm not.
Excellent post chris! Sets one to thinking!

Great post Chris, some good thoughts there, good luck.
May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
This is sorta what I am trying to implement. But I was wondering about something. You state strength is up 20% after 3 days and then ~30% after 3 weeks. Well if I worked out every 3 days wouldn't I have a greater strength increase after three weeks than 30% considering I had all the periods of 20% increase?
I just wanted to have that considered although as I said I currently employ something close to what you are considering trying.
Yeah I can see where chris is coming from. The only thing that confuses me is his last paragraph. I dont understand how to incorporate all of the information that he just presented.
"So, what is my solution to all of this? What I have decided to do, as a self-experiment, is to mix sub-maximal training days in between my standard sessions. In other words, by doing so, I hope to cause my body to maintain the contractile hypertrophy caused by my standard sessions (2-4 sets per body part taken to failure), and yet still allow my nervous system full recovery.

How would I go about following these recommendations?..
I have a thread about a 14-day split.. is this a good idea or no?

Wow! Great post Chris. Once every 17 days??? Can you throw up a pic or two, I can't believe that you can still grow with that much rest. And as to what Aeckhardt said, 20% in 3 days is far better than 30% in 3 weeks, so why bother with all the time off?
hmm... im still skeptical on this... if a group of ppl gained as much as 20% in strength inless than a month (20% is a lot!), then wouldn't these testing subjects be experiencing "beginner gains"? was there anything on how much lifting experience the subjects have, or any description of hypertrophy of muscles (i'm interested in getting bigger too, not just stronger)?

For you people asking why every 3 days wouldn't work I'd have to guess you didn't read his entire post.
He said your nervous system needs time to recover so you lift light during this recovery time so you don't lose your conentric gains.
If you keep lifting heavy he believes it will not allow your nervous system to recover.
Excellent post Chris, I hope you make great gains.
Now as for your idea are you saying you think I could make good gains if I lifted really heavy one weak, like maybe every muscle group twice a week heavy and then light twice a week the next week that it would all my nervous system to recover so that I keep lift even heavier on the third week?
I'm willing to be a second guinea pig in this experiment as it sounds quite interesting to me.

I am honestly still really confused as to how chris is saying hes going to incorporate 1 sub-maximal work set in between his all-out balls to the wall sessions...
Yeah, Chris - the study seems flawed. I don't see how strength could increase that much in 3 days or even a month, but more importantly, how were they able to constantly monitor strength increases without having them workout?
Try it and see. I have nothing better do do with my time, so I train. LOL I enjoy it, and would be bored if I trained that infrequently.
If I had a wife, a kid, a stressful job, or anything remotely responsible, I might consider cutting back a little.
It does make sense. I'll remember to try it in a year or two.
Ok children of the corn, let me clarify. First, the study showed that complete neural recovery takes longer than most people think, much longer. Second, I don't think this sort of training is for everyone, only the very advanced trainee who is approaching his natural limits. For most trainees, I think that training to failure with low volume is absolutely still the best way to go. There will come a point, assuming the trainee goes about his training in a intelligent and hard working fashion, that post-workout recovery gets to the point where muscular recovery and neural recovery get so far out of whack that something else must be tried in order to keep gaining (as I discussed in my post). Yes, if , and that is a big if, one could recoup make 20% gains in strength by training every 4th day, that percentage increase over 3 weeks would greatly exceed the 29% increase over the 3 week rest period by group 2 in the study. You see, if a trainee were to gain 20% in strength every 3rd day after a training session for any length of time, that trainee would be the WSM winner in no time. Unfortunately, as happens in every case, that doesn't happen. Part of the reason that doesn't happen is because as we progress in strength and relative development, recovery takes longer. The results of that study only point out one valid thing, that neural recovery takes a long time. The rest of the percentages etc. are just a snapshot of a short term experiment, nothing else.
The reason for my post was that this article gelled my thinking on the subject of recovery and training. The proof will lie in the pudding, so to speak, follow my journal and let's see where this thing goes. Sometimes the best ideas turn out to be miserable failures, of course, sometimes they turn out to be world changing breakthroughs, we shall see...

No. 3: Planet-killing asteroids
The summer of 1998 was a great one if you happened to be a huge mass of iron, nickel and ice prone to spontaneous gas venting and possessed of genocidal intent.
The two biggest movies of the season, "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon," were both centered on the idea of planet-killing asteroids that were about to become unwelcome guests at everyone's backyard cookouts.
"Deep Impact" starred Morgan Freeman, Tea Leoni and Robert Duvall and was a fairly thoughtful, well-plotted yarn that delivered both emotional heft and a tidal wave the size of a televangelist's hair.
"Armageddon" had Bruce Willis. However, it wins because it also had Steve Buscemi in his most crazed role ever as Rockhound, the Dr. Strangelove-quoting geologist with a penchant for automatic weapons.
Speaking of "Dr. Strangelove," Hollywood has spared little expense in teaching us how to love the bomb ...
No. 2: The atomic bomb
Anybody knows that if you want a really good apocalypse, you've just got to do it yourself, and since ole Doc Oppenheimer taught us all how to make mushrooms out of common household plutonium, we've spent billions of dollars perfecting our doom.
The examples are endless, from the aforementioned "Dr. Strangelove" to the TV movie "The Day After" to post-nuclear-apocalypse movies like "Mad Max."
The most recent example of post-nuclear funtime, "The Road," starring Viggo Mortensen as a character reminiscent of the "Lord of the Rings'" Aragorn with emphysema and poor hygiene, is the sort of movie you watch when you're almost given up all hope, but just need a teensy bit of help to finish.
I'm not saying it's depressing, but ... well, yeah, I am. Really depressing.
Maybe going out in the sunshine will cheer me up ...
No. 1: Our own planet run amok
This last is pretty much the specialty of Chief Planet Hater Roland Emmerich.
From the meteorological implausibility of "The Day After Tomorrow" to the mishmash of doomsday scenarios known as "2012," Rollie sure does love showing us done in by our own planet run amok.
In "The Day After Tomorrow," global warming was somehow blamed for weather wallops like tornadoes eating vast swaths of downtown Los Angeles and tidal floods sending cargo ships floating down Broadway in New York.
As best I can tell, the idea behind "2012" was something similar to what happens when you put Peeps in a microwave, with the middle getting all squooshy and the outside sliding around to make new, bizarre shapes.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
Friends, family and a ThunderWolves cake.
Early in his senior year, it was a party Austin Miles wasn't sure he'd get to have. The big offensive lineman wasn't heavily recruited after his junior season, the time college athletes typically land on the radar of college coaches.
But during his senior season, amid a first-team All-Southwestern League campaign, the phone at the Miles' residence finally started ringing. Then, after dotting all the Is and crossing all the Ts, Miles rang his new head coach to tell him his national letter of intent had arrived.
CSU-Pueblo head coach John Wristen had his man, and Miles had an ear-to-ear grin.
Miles, a Durango High School senior, signed with Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference power CSU-Pueblo on national signing day last week, bringing to an end a late courtship that saw the 6-5, 320-pound lineman choose the ThunderWolves over Colorado Mesa and Western State.
After not hearing from any schools until roughly midway through his senior season, Miles admitted he started to get a little nervous. But a handful of RMAC institutions started inquiring at that point, as did Colorado State, which had no scholarships to offer.
After taking a look at a few schools, Miles was most impressed by CSU-Pueblo.
"I was just going to, you know, see how it was, and when (Wristen) offered me, I was going to be like, 'Well, give me a few days to think about it,'" Miles said. "But we got up the second morning of their visit, and we were watching their workout, and I was watching the intensity their players had and how the players ... constructed the workout. I just watched it, and I was like, 'I want to be a part of this.'"
As happy as Miles was to officially sign with CSU-Pueblo, his parents may have been even happier, beaming with pride as their son signed the requisite paperwork in a conference room at Durango High School.
"It's a dream come true for me. When he came into the world, we knew he was going to be a big kid," Hugh Miles said. "And he just blossomed into it. ... His work ethic has been just as hard as any kid can do. And I'm just so proud of him that he made it this far."
"It's so fun to watch him as the phone rings, and he talks to this coach and that coach, to see him light up," Mary Miles said.
Miles should fit right in with a program that prides itself on running the ball and running it extremely well behind a big offensive line. The ThunderWolves, who've been ranked No. 1 in the nation in each of the last two seasons, led the RMAC in rushing last season at 204.4 yards per game, and their running attack accounted for 31 touchdowns.
To date, the ThunderWolves' recruiting class includes five offensive linemen, all listed at 250 pounds or heavier.
The program quickly has become winners since bringing back football in 2008. CSU-Pueblo has averaged 8.6 wins per season since returning, and the ThunderWolves won 11 games in 2011 and 12 in 2012, both RMAC championship campaigns.
But Miles said it wasn't so much wins and losses as the atmosphere and culture of hard work and dedication that appealed to him.
"I'm happy to be a part of a program that's dedicated to the sport, and I can't wait to go down this fall and be a part of it," Miles said.
From a nerve-wracking absence of phone calls to a fledgling national powerhouse program, now that's a reason to party.

TRAVERSE CITY — When the Traverse City Beach Bums take the field for their home opener May 21, the lineup could look very familiar to fans.
Emphasis on "could."
The Beach Bums, who had the best record in the Frontier League, have re-signed their entire starting infield, along with two veteran outfielders.
Of course, there can be hiccups in those plans, but that is the way things are shaping up so far.
The infield of first baseman Chase Burch, second baseman Ryan Still, shortstop Kyle Eveland, third baseman Jose Vargas and catcher Marcus Nidiffer is expected to return intact.
Starting outfielder Sean Gusrang will also be backs, along with backup outfielder Matt Howard, who manager Gregg Langbehn is hoping will have a breakout season similar to what Gusrang enjoyed last campaign.
"I think we're pretty happy with the returning players," said Langbehn, who was tabbed as the league's top manager last season. "Each year is certainly new and a different challenge, but I think we have some pretty good pieces in place. It's going to be an exciting year for Matt Howard specifically. He's in the same boat Gusrang was in two years ago."
Back then, Gusrang had just six at-bats the whole season for the Bums. He exploded last season, hitting .266 with 15 home runs and 50 RBIs, adding a versatile threat to the team's lineup.
"This is (Matt's) year," Langbehn said. "He's going to have the opportunity to be an everyday contributor. He put his time in last year and didn't complain. He learned. We're looking for a big season out of Matt."
Howard played in 19 games as TC's fourth outfielder last year, getting just 45 at-bats. He hit one homer, drove in seven runs and swiped two bases.
The team will have its table-setter back in Still.
"Having Ryan Still back is nice," Langbehn said of his second baseman who was an All-Star after walking a league-record 110 times, hitting .301 and scoring a team-high 82 runs in 86 games. "We're looking for another top-of-the-order guy to compliment him. And we have a couple of the big guys in the middle of the lineup back, which is nice. It's hard to find guys like that, and we know what we're getting with Chase and Jose."
Vargas was the league's MVP after hitting 29 home runs and driving in 100 runs to tie the league's single-season mark. He established a new league mark for consecutive games played at 192 — which is all 192 games the Beach Bums have played in the last two seasons.
The Bums could have seven of their nine All-Stars returning, including relievers Nick Capito and Scott Mueller and starter Jacob Clem.
It appears catcher Travis Higgs and pitcher Brooks Belter will be playing elsewhere after both were drafted by a Japanese league in November after tryouts.
The Beach Bums did sign left-handed pitcher Andrew Marquardt, who was one of the few effective pitchers for the Road Warriors last year, posting a 4.32 ERA in 41.2 innings for a squad with a team ERA of 5.93. And Road Warriors right-handed closer Chris Kaminski (5.09 ERA) was also added after he saved half of the team's 14 victories.
The pair were third and fourth in ERA among Warriors players with 10 or more innings.
They join a pitching staff that could have a lot of returners as well, especially in the bullpen. Scott Dunn, Mike Devine, Matt Miller, Jason Mattila and Jake Sabol are also under contract.
"I saw enough out of them that I thought they could definitely come in and compete for a spot on the roster," Langbehn said of Marquardt and Kaminski. "They have the experience, and they're both still rookies, which is appealing. And that's a big factor. Every year, you have to have rookies, rookie-1s and rookie-2s who you can count on to contribute at a high level."
Right-hander Andrew Morris — a two-time junior college All-American — rounds out the pitching staff additions thus far.
The coaching staff also looks like it will return intact with hitting coach Shannon Hunt and infield/catching coach Matt Pulley.
"I know those guys and they know me," Langbehn said. "We work well together."
Nidiffer was a nice addition to the lineup, hitting nine home runs and driving in 38 runs, both of which were fourth among league backstops.
"He was hands down the best catcher we've had there since I took over," Langbehn said. "He takes a lot of pride in what's going on behind the plate and working with the pitchers. It's hard to find guys like that."
With the former London Rippers becoming the Frontier Greys traveling team this year, the Beach Bums will have 54 home games this season instead of 48.
"It helps," Langbehn said. "You get into that regular routine. You're not traveling as much. I think that's a positive, at least it has been for us."

Forgive the pun, but there has recently been a seismic shift in the fracking debate.
Earthquakes have been reported in areas where hydraulic fracturing has been used to extract oil and gas from shale deposits, from Arkansas to Oklahoma to the United Kingdom.
In England last month, Cuadrilla Resources unleashed a shock on the industry when it issued a press release admitting it was "highly probable" its hydrofracturing of a natural gas shale formation had caused earthquakes ranging from 1.9 and 2.8 on the Richter scale.
The earthquakes haven't just been felt abroad. In Arkansas, around 100 earthquakes were reported in a week before the state government shut down the operations of Chesapeake Energy and Clarita Operating in the Fayetteville Shale -- a formation similar to the Marcellus Shale. The companies had been disposing of wastewater by pumping deep underground, but their operations were shut down until further studies could shine more light on the matter. The Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission said operations at the injection wells might have caused up to 1,000 quakes in the region in a six-month period.
A 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit Oklahoma, the heart of the natural gas industry's U.S. operations on Nov. 5. It was the largest earthquake ever felt in the state, according to Scientific American. Though gas industry officials said the quake was too large to be associated with drilling activity, according to that publication, from 1972 to 2008 only two to six earthquakes were reported per year in Oklahoma, but the state experienced nearly 50 in 2009 and more than 1,000 in 2010.
The Scientific American quoted Art McGarr, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, who said the earthquakes might be caused by "lubricating an already stressed fault zone and thus making it easier for the land to shift."
If they can't stop the earthquakes, the drillers might be getting a better idea of how to control them. McGarr, cited in Nature, said scientists can now give a rough predication of if an earthquake will be triggered by fracking or well injections done by the industry, and how big it will be.
So far, there haven't been any reports of earthquakes caused by drilling activity in Pennsylvania. That could be due to Pennsylvania's geology, or the fact that it only has seven active injection wells, versus hundreds in other states experiencing drilling.
But with dozens more injection wells and thousands of additional horizontal wells planned for the state, the role that the industry might play in causing earthquakes will likely take a more prominent place in the environmental concerns listed by anti-drilling advocates in their arguments for slowing down the industry's work in the state.

Venus Williams pulls out of Wimbledon, citing backBy HOWARD FENDRICH
the associated press | June 19,2013AP FILE PHOTO
Venus Williams reacts after missing a return against Urszula Radwanska in their first round match of the French Open tennis tournament at Roland Garros stadium in Paris on May 26.After 16 consecutive years of always showing up at Wimbledon, winning five titles along the way, Venus Williams pulled out of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament Tuesday, citing a lower back injury.
Williams, who turned 33 on Monday, never had missed Wimbledon since making her debut there in 1997, although she lost in the first round a year ago.
She won the singles trophy it happens to be called the Venus Rosewater Dish in 2000-01, 2005 and 2007-08, to go with two more major championships at the U.S. Open in 2000-01.
But Williams has been dealing with a bad back for a while, playing only three matches in the last two-plus months. She was clearly hampered by the injury during a three-set, three-hour loss to 40th-ranked Urszula Radwanska of Poland in the first round of the French Open last month, then cited her back when she and younger sister Serena withdrew from the doubles competition in Paris.
The older Williams said after the singles loss at Roland Garros her first opening-round exit there in a dozen years that the inflammation in her back made it painful to serve hard, limiting one of the best parts of her game.
Once ranked No. 1, Williams is currently No. 34. Still learning to live as a professional athlete with an energy-sapping autoimmune disease, Sjogrens syndrome, she has two first-round losses in the past four Grand Slam tournaments.
That includes her defeat at Wimbledon last year, the first time shed left a major championship that early since she lost in the first round of the Australian Open in 2006.
With what Ive gone through, its not easy. But Im strong and Im a fighter. You know, I dont think Im just playing for me now. I think Im playing for a lot of people who havent felt well, Williams said after her loss to Radwanska. I think for me today, its a positive to be able to play three hours. Im constantly finding ways to get better and to feel better.
Play begins at Wimbledon next Monday.
Serena Williams, who is ranked No. 1, will be a big favorite to win what would be her sixth Wimbledon title and 17th major championship overall.
Shes won 31 matches in a row, the longest single-season streak on the womens tour since Venus put together a 35-match run in 2000.

DANVILLE — Motor enthusiasts of all stripes will be touring across the Valley this weekend in support of the Danville Police Department.
The benefit is being organized by the Montour Motorcycle Riders group and will take place July 14, starting at the Smokehouse Bar and Grill. Registration will take place at Smokehouse from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. with the ride starting at noon. The cost is $20 per vehicle, which includes a meal at the restaurant at the end of the trip.
"All vehicles are welcome. If you want to support the police department and you want to come out in your pick-up truck, sports car or regular car, it doesn't matter," said Marie Bleiler, of the Montour Motorcycle Riders. "We welcome all types of people."
The ride's route is still being finalized, said Ted Bunnell, president of the group. While the ride will occur rain or shine, he wants to see if the weekend's predicted severe thunderstorms have the chance of closing off any streets.
The route will start and end at Smokehouse, and will go through Montour and its surrounding counties, he said. "It will be at least 75 miles."
Drivers will ride in a stagger formation, with all of them leaving and returning together. As much driving as possible will be done on country roads, said Bleiler. "We try to do as much scenic riding as we can."
While the Montour Motorcycle Riders have held benefit events before, this is the first time they have supported the Danville Police Department.
"The police department is in need of some equipment that they don't have the finance for. They've been very supportive of our group, blocking intersections and making sure our rides are as safe as possible," said Bleiler. "They have a tough job, as do most police departments."

The best cheap digital cameras can, however, yield photos of good quality for using on the Internet and for making small prints. Thanks to technological advancements, today's inexpensive digital cameras have more power than you might think. Here are the some of the best cheap digital cameras for less than $100, listed in alphabetical order.
1. Canon PowerShot A2200
Canon's PowerShot A2200 digital camera isn't going to provide features that will overly impress you, but it does have a nice set of basic features that compare well to other cameras in its price range. The A2200 includes several easy-to-use features, including what Canon calls "Smart Auto," which attempts to simplify photography, while improving the camera's accuracy in automatic mode.
With this camera, you'll find 14.1 megapixels of resolution, a 2.7-inch LCD, 720p HD video capabilities, and a 4X optical zoom lens. The PowerShot A2200 is available in four body colors: Blue, black, red, or silver.
2. Canon PowerShot A2400 IS
Beginning photographers will find a top-end, 16MP of resolution with the Canon PowerShot A2400 camera, but some of its other features are only average or a bit below average.
With the A2400, which Canon recently announced, you'll find a 5X optical zoom lens, a 2.7-inch LCD screen, and 720p HD video. All of these features are a bit lacking, at least when compared to other new 2012 models.
However, considering the A2400's low price, some beginning photographers can deal with average features. The A2400, which is available in light blue, pink, silver, and black, also measures just 0.84 inches in thickness, which is great.
3. Nikon Coolpix S31
Nikon is offering it's latest rugged waterproof camera -- the Coolpix S31 -- in some interesting color combinations and at a desirable price point.
The S31 has quite a few basic photography options, including a 10.1MP image sensor, a 3X optical zoom lens, 720p HD video recording, and a 2.7-inch LCD screen. These features are all below average versus other cameras currently on the market.
However, the S31 is waterproof up to 16.4 feet and it can survive a fall up to 3.9 feet, which are tough features rarely found at this price point. Look for the Coolpix S31 in white, blue, pink, brown, or yellow camera body colors.
4. Nikon Coolpix S3500
The Nikon Coolpix S3500 has one of the more interesting pairings of price point and resolution currently on the market.
Paired with a bargain price is 20.1 megapixels of resolution, easily making this the least expensive 20-plus megapixel camera on the market.
However, don't expect those 20.1MP to translate into well above average image quality with this camera, as the S3500 uses a small 1/2.3-inch CCD image sensor. So even with a large number of megapixels, they're still being squeezed onto an image sensor that's as small as what you'd find on a beginner-level 12MP or 14MP camera.
The Coolpix S3500 has a 7X optical zoom lens, 720p HD video recording, and a 2.7-inch LCD screen. The Nikon S3500 is available in purple, pink, orange, silver, and red.
5. Olympus VG-160
Among sub-$100 cameras, the Olympus VG-160 carries one of the better specification lists that you're going to find.
Granted, the VG-160's features aren't going to stand up well against most of the other cameras currently in the market, but this model does compare strongly against other cameras in this price range, thanks in particular to a really good performance with flash photos.
You'll find 14 megapixels of resolution, a 3.0-inch LCD, a 5X optical zoom lens, and 720p HD video capabilities with this model. Olympus is offering the VG-160 in red, orange, black, and silver body colors.
6. Panasonic Lumix FH10
If you're looking for the thinnest, cheapest camera currently on the market, Panasonic may have you covered with one of its just released 2013 models, the Lumix FH10.
This camera measures only 0.7 inches in thickness. The FH10 has 16.1 megapixels of resolution, a 5X optical zoom lens, a 2.7-inch LCD, and 720p HD video recording. A variety of body colors are available, including pink, violet, silver, and black.
7. Panasonic Lumix FX78
Panasonic has included many of its best point and shoot camera features in its Lumix FX78, which is available with a 3.5-inch touch screen LCD that's manufactured at a 16:9 ratio.
The 5X optical zoom lens with the FX78 includes a high-quality lens with an f/2.5 aperture. You can shoot HD video at full 1080p with the FX78, and you can shoot 12.1MP images with an emphasis on high-speed photography and good response times.
The FX78 -- which is known as the FX77 in some parts of the world -- contains a "beauty retouch" mode, which automatically whitens teeth, removes bags under the eyes, and improves skin tones. With this camera's "makeup mode," you even can add eye shadow or blush to the final image.
Look for the FX78 in black, gold, or white camera bodies.
8. Samsung DV300F (DualView)
I've always like the DualView camera design from Samsung, starting with the first model a few years ago, as it simplifies self portraits while allowing quite a bit of fun photography options.
The DV300F adds Wi-Fi capabilities to the camera that has LCD screens on the front (1.5 inches) and back (3.0 inches) of the model.
In addition, the DV300F has 16.1 megapixels of resolution, a 5X optical zoom lens, and 720p HD video. The DV300F is a low-priced camera and is a really nice and fun option for beginners.
9. Samsung ST72
Bargain camera shoppers looking for a fun, thin model may want to give the Samsung ST72 consideration.
The ST72 has 16MP of resolution, a 5X optical zoom lens, a 3.0-inch LCD screen, and 720p HD video recording. This is a fully automatic camera aimed squarely at beginners.
The ST72 measures only about 0.7 inches in thickness, and it's available in black, white, red, plum, or navy blue camera bodies.
10. Samsung ST76
It wasn't too many years ago that imagining a thin digital camera with 16 megapixels of resolution seemed almost impossible. Now, you can find that type of camera for less than $100.
The recently released Samsung ST76 measures only 0.67 inches in thickness, while including 16.1 megapixels of resolution.
Outside of the resolution, there aren't a lot of high-end features on this camera, as it has a 5X optical zoom lens, a 2.7-inch LCD screen, and can shoot only at 720p HD video quality, but that's still a great price for a 16MP camera. The ST76 is only available in black.
11. Sony Cyber-shot W620
Sony has always done a nice job with thin and stylish digital cameras, and now the company is offering a few really inexpensive models, including the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W620.
You won't find a lot of top-of-the-line features with the W620, as it offers a 5X optical zoom lens, 14.1 megapixels of resolution, 720p HD video, and a 2.7-inch LCD. It measures 0.78 inches in thickness. Look for the W620 in black, red, or silver camera bodies with silver lens housings.
12. Sony Cyber-shot W710
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W710 is one of the smaller and thinner cameras on the market right now, and it offers a small starting price, too. The W710 is available in pink, silver, or black camera bodies.
As you might suspect, the Cyber-shot W710 isn't going to offer high-end photography features. You'll find a 16.1MP resolution measurement, a 5X optical zoom lens, a 2.7-inch LCD screen, and 720p HD video capabilities.

Thanks for offering such a lovely assortment of cards that allows us to differentiate our Holiday message- and thank you for such prompt and awesome service,
This is the second year we ordered cards from you, but the first time we ever had our cards personalized. They look amazing! We'll be back next year, and will tell others about you. And we love supporting an AZ business.
Thank you!"
Pat and Rick
