Topic - Which digital camera
clochette - on 26 Nov 2012
I have used a Lumix DMC TZ18 for the last 2 years. I think it's a great compact camera and I especially like the 20x optical zoom. However, 3 times now dust has got into the captor and I have had to pay for it to be cleaned. This 3rd time comes 2 weeks after the last cleaning job and I don't think it's worth paying again as it will surely come back. I have found various reports of similar problems with this Lumix so I assume it must be a fault of this camera. If anyone can elaborate on that I would be grateful.
Meanwhile I am just starting to think I have to buy a new camera and I don't want to risk another Lumix.
I would like a compact (but it doesn't need to be super small) that has a really good zoom for photographing wildlife. I would also like the panorama facility if possible which the Lumix doesn't have.
I take lots of mountain shots, sometimes in the snow. I tend to use the auto facility a lot as I know very little about the other options.
I considered moving up to a bridge camera but it seems the lens is fixed so does this mean cleaning wouldn't be an option there either? And it seems there is no viewfinder on a bridge camera - is that right? If I moved to a bridge camera it would need to have a view finder for photoing birds on zoom.
Please don't suggest an SLR as I have one but it's heavy for general use.

- Great time as usualSJD1VIPDined on 9/19/2014We are never dissapointed when I go to the Table. For the second time I had the Cincinnati Reds' salad, my husband the seared foie gras, Then I had the vol au vent (to die for), my husband the duck and our friends had the scallops and the lamb. The plates were all cleaned out and we even kept room for dessert. The duo of chocolate mousse is supreme. Our waiter was as usual very knowledgeable, attentive but not overwhelming. Another homerun! Thanks JR and your teamSpecial Features:

A great place to visit and enjoy.Special Features:
- DeliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 9/12/2014What a delight to have Jean Robert in Cincinnati! Last Friday we had Fois Gras followed by soft shell crabs. The fois gras was amazing. Delicious with many layered complex and complimentary flavors. The crab was an entirely different melody and equally tasty. The wine list is interesting and our pinot noir was an enhancement to the evening.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/12/2014Café Fleuri is not the restaurant that we dined at .
- YUM!luluDined on 9/11/2014My sister and I had dinner before going to a play. We were asked if we were going to a show and they made sure our dinner was timely. We were not rushed to leave (unlike another restaurant downtown). The food and wine were fantastic, I had the softshell crab, it was perfect! Our server was also excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- My first visit and I'll be back!Ann54Dined on 9/10/2014One of my friends was moving and I was looking for a special place for a going away lunch that had delicious food and a great atmosphere. We were not disappointed. The food was wonderful, and I loved the fact the tables had linen tablecloths and napkins - for lunch! The decor was lovely with interesting artwork on the walls. The restaurant was full for lunch (on a Wednesday) but was not noisy at all. I will most certainly be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A+OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/9/2014Great food. A bit expensive, but the service was excellent. I will return.Special Features:
- A Cincinnati MUST DOOutofthehillsDined on 9/8/2014For starters our table enjoyed the special Cincinnati Reds Lobster Salad - all red ingredients - lobster, radish, lettuce, cabbage - with a light dressing. Light and tasty. Also enjoyed the mussels 3 ways and traditional escargot. Did not disappoint, classic preparation. But the first course show stopper was the bread!!! Light, crunchy, chewy. Worth the visit alone and makes me pity the low carb, gluten free dieters out there. Main courses were skate, duck, and scallops. Nothing was missed in these preparations as flavors built upon one another in a subtle and complimentary way. The staff was very generous with their time, nothing rushed, and helpful with excellent wine pairings. Worth going to Cincinnati for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!g8tserviceDined on 9/6/2014We had a wonderful dinner at Jean-Robert's Table! Our dinner was wonderful and our server, Steven was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OutstandingAvRNewportVIPDined on 9/5/2014Every visit to JR's Table is delightful and tasty. The number of seasonal specials that he adds to the regular menu always blows my mind - making each visit unique. The service and staples such as the wine list and hot crusty bread never disappoint. A visit from the chef is also so nice and unexpected. Love this restaurant.Special Features:
- SuperbdiningcincinnatiDined on 9/5/2014If you want superb food and service at a reasonable price in a non-pretentious but warm setting, this is the place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- hotmikeVIPDined on 9/5/2014the food and service were fine but the restaurant was hot...i dont mean this in the good way...the temperature was off the charts making the experience far less enjoyableSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great as usualSJD1VIPDined on 9/5/2014I went with a girlfriend for her birthday lunch. As usual good food, attentive but not overwhelming service. Nothing to say except that for those like me who tend to go if not frequently but at least on a regular basis, would be nice to have a renewed menu once in a while. ThanksSpecial Features:
- First Time Shopper at Table4SaturdayNightDinersVIPDined on 9/4/2014We will all go back. Service was professional and on target. Food presentation was incredible and appetizing. Food taste and preparation was perfection. The variety and price for value was excellent. Keep it up Jean-Robert.Special Features:

- BigeddieDined on 9/2/2014Food great. Restaurant attractive. Parking terrible. The parking attendant was ready to ticket anyone 1 minute late. Told us we needed to be there earlier and we still had 3 min. left.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding MealfozzyDined on 8/30/2014Despite being slammed and our table not being ready right when we walked in (taken care of quickly) - this was an outstanding meal. Delicious and creative food with wonderful service in a fine setting. Thoroughly enjoyed eating here Did I mention the food was Delicious!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really Special FoodSullmeisterDined on 8/30/2014Many excellent dishes on the menu. Exceptional starters, and a variety of main dishes, some of which will interest almost anyone. Several specials, als with enough variety to appeal to varied tastes. Many dishes using top-end ingredients. Excellent, if somewhat esoteric, wine list. It pays to ask questions of the servers, who know the menu and wine list very well. The ambiance is somewhat more casual and crowded than I regard as ideal. I know the neighborhood well and feel comfortable there, but a first-timer might not.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- puppyDined on 8/30/2014We love the restaurant but this time the food was not as good. I ordered the hamburger and the sauce that is my favorite was way too spicy! We chose a bottle of the house red and it had a bit of a kick. A little disappointing! The fois gras hot appetizer was very overpriced at $23. We will be back, however, we were not so happy with our meal overall! Usually it's a 10!Special Features:
- Outstanding serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/29/2014Extremely pleasant experience from start to finish. We arrived early and they accmodated us quickly. The service was probably the best we have ever had. The food was fantastic. We will be back, and recommend it to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Annivesary dinnerJtrooVIPDined on 8/29/2014Had our annivesary dinner here. We had to wait for our table at 8pm but it wasn't too long. Started out with some cocktails that were pretty good. The bread at the table was delicious and nicely grilled. We had the rabbit duo and beet salad special and for entrees, the skate wing and lamb chops special. It was all delicious but the lamb chops were pretty pricey for the small portion. We had the chocolate macadamia tart for dessert. Service was spot on. It was pretty hopping still when we left. Might be back.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/29/2014The overall experience was very positive. The waiter made a couple of minor mistakes -- he explained the menu and specials at great length but then hurried off without taking our drink orders, so we had to wave our arms to attract someone's attention. When my lamb chops arrived, they were simply too meaty to cut without a steak knife -- but again, he had hurried off without considering that, so I had to wave my arms to attract someone's attention. But other than that, the food was excellent, the service smooth. We would certainly go back.
- WonderfulStepnoutDined on 8/29/2014My wife and I were referred to this restaurant by a friend, and he raved about it. He was spot on. The ambiance was relaxed and very friendly, the entire service and wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was spectacular! We shared a delicate soft shell crab, my wife had scallops, and I had the rack of lamb. We both agreed it was the best meal we have had in a long time. Our taste buds were in ecstasy with every bite. We recommend it wholeheartedly. You will not be disappointed.Special Features:
- Great French, impeccable serviceJu1244Dined on 8/27/2014Great French Fare, served by an impeccable wait staff in a room that is one step up from a Dennys. Silly booths that seat 4 very slim to be avoided at all costs. Surely he can find a better space...and leave behind the bird-people art as well.Special Features:
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/26/2014A very flavorful and colorful menu and everything was superb. Can't wait to go back. The lamb special that night was exceptional. It was our Anniversary and the dessert that Chef sent out was sinfully good. The two of us could not finish it. The only thing a little slow was the bar service.,Special Features:
- Always good....TrevorVIPDined on 8/23/2014Jean-Robert never disappoints when it comes to his famous French food. Our waiter had a bit of an attitude but the overall experience was great. I would recommend the skate dish, it was perfectly prepared.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Meal!MertyDined on 8/23/2014The Staff was wonderful. I was especially impressed with the wine pairing our server Jim recommended with their Lamb Special. He described it perfectly. This was my wife's birthday and everything was amazing. This may become our Go-To place.Special Features:
- Eclectic atmosphere, great food!AandBClevelandVIPDined on 8/22/2014This is a charming, fun restaurant with thoughtful service and wonderful food. The crowd at the bar is delightful, and we noticed many "regulars," not only at the bar but in the restaurant, a good sign in our opinion. They do not rush you at all, but invite you to linger and take your time. The escargot appetizer and our duck and halibut entrees were nearly perfect. My husband and I stayed at 21c downtown, and this is an easy 3-min. walk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- outstanding!yumyumDined on 8/22/2014The food and service at Jean-Robert's Table are outstanding. You will not find food like this anywhere else in the city. Exquisite!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FleaVIPDined on 8/22/2014very warm the ac was spotty for the $$$ you spend. Wine list was excellent and the server well versed in wineSpecial Features:
- BeauDined on 8/22/2014My wife and I enjoyed our time at Jean-Robert's. The restaurant is very well laid out with the seating being private, yet you are able to enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant. The restaurant has beautiful brickwork and interesting local art. The menu was varied with many items I had never seen before, such as the skate; and there were many specials (nine), all of which looked interesting. My wife and I both enjoyed our meals, each of which were cooked to perfection. Further, the wine list had a wonderful slection. I would reccomend Jean-Robert's Table to anyone looking for a good time and a great meal.Special Features:

G59 Oilers at Flames
This week, we'll be devoting a tremendous amount of time to Ales Hemsky. I remember well the moment he became an Oiler: Kevin Lowe exercised the option to "swap picks" with Boston at the 2001 entry draft–an option that was paid for as part of the Billy Guerin for Anson Carter trade months before the draft.
Ales Hemsky is an outstanding talent, and the truth is that he has miles and miles to go. This week, we can begin to put Hemsky's feats as an Oiler into perspective.
- Gretzky 1086 in 696 games (1.56)
- Messier 642 in 851 games (.754)
- Kurri 569 in 754 games (.755)
- Anderson 489 in 845 games (.579)
- Weight 420 in 588 games (.714)
- Smyth 305 in 828 games (.368)
- Hemsky 302 in 535 games (.564)
Hemsky's assists came during what might be described as a borderline deadball era, making the totals even more impressive. Also impressive: his consistency.
- 2011-12: 1.58
- 2010-11: 2.88
- 2009-10: 2.85
- 2008-09: 2.08
- 2007-08: 2.36
- 2006-07: 2.09
- 2005-06: 2.17
All but 05-06 is courtesy Gabe at behind the net and the 05-06 comes from nhl.com and my Casio (so it is EV/60 for that season). The guy has been very consistent and odds are he'll hit 2.00 or close by season's end.
It is absolutely stunning that the issue has been framed in a way that Hemsky is derided for being inconsistent or unreliable. Ales Hemsky has had injury issues as he approached the peak of his career, but there is no evidence that he's eroding as a skill player.
Last night, there was some buzz about Hemsky possibly "softening" his stance on a long term contract and a 2-3 year deal might be in the cards. I don't think we can believe much the week of the trade deadline, but it would be music if true.
Pat over at BDHS has the third in a trio of brilliant 83 posts up today, I suggest reading all three in order.

After Enrique Iglesias' ego was too big for Britney's upcoming summer tour, everyone had their own guesses on who would be joining her. It looks like she's found someone even better.
Nicki Minaj will be hitting the road with BritBrit!
Right now she's on tour with Lil Wayne, but she'll be done and ready to go right back out there at the end of the month!

Grilled Beef Tenderloin on Focaccia Toasts
2 pounds cherry tomatoes
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 heads garlic
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 lemon, juiced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cups good quality mayonnaise
2 tablespoons hot chili paste
1 whole beef tenderloin*, about 6 to 8 pounds
2 loaves focaccia bread, sliced and toasted
Baby arugula, for garnish
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss the tomatoes into a roasting pan, drizzle with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes have collapsed, about 30 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
- Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and bake it until soft, about 30 minutes. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the soft garlic onto a cutting board.
- Strip the needles from the rosemary, add them to the garlic, and chop them together. Pour 1 cup olive oil into a small bowl; add the garlic and rosemary mixture and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside until ready to grill.
- Char the outside of the pepper under the broiler or over a gas flame. Put it into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.
- When cool enough to handle, peel, seed, and chop and put it into a blender. Add the mayonnaise and chili paste; process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper; refrigerate until ready to use. (Can be made the day before.)
- Heat the grill. Remove the meat from the refrigerator about 1/2 hour before you are going to grill it. Brush it with some of the flavored olive oil and season it generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill the tenderloin, turning frequently, until the meat is rare or medium rare, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a platter and let it rest for 5 minutes, brushing it with the flavored olive oil. Cut the beef into thin slices.
- To serve, put some of the flavored mayonnaise onto a piece of focaccia toast. Top it with a thin slice of the beef and spoon on some of the roasted tomatoes. Garnish with some arugula leaves and serve.
Serves 30.

Panasonic GH3 pre-production samples from multiple websites hit the internets
It looks Panasonic organized a picture-taking event at the London Zoo for the Panasonic GH3 for UK websites because a number of pre-production JPEG sample pictures have appeared from multiple websites in a short period of time:
+ 70 JPEGs and a movie at Photography Blog
+ samples and ISO range color charts at ephotozine
+ 31 JPEG samples at Four Thirds User which notes that because it is a preproduction camera, Panasonic did not allow RAW files to be posted
+ hands on at Pocket Lint
+ hands on at Trusted Reviews [NEW!]
+ seven 1080p videos posted at Photography Blog [NEW!]
GH3 presentation in France
Not at the London Zoo obviously, Panasonic France had its Panasonic GH3 presentation, and Hybridcams.fr was there to capture the slides and the action.
Panasonic GH3 availability
Availability wise, the Panasonic GH3 is available for pre-order at its flagship price of $1300 as body only. It is eligible for the Amazon 2% Promotional Credit Rewards promotion, but it is not eligible for the Panasonic Lens Instant Rebates (expire Nov-3-2012).

Imagine a web publishing platform that costs $10 per month.
$5 of that $10 goes to the platform company for the boring stuff.
The other $5 gets split evenly between the writers, photographers, videographers, designers, and other creative people you follow who also pay to use the platform, up to a maximum of — say — 20 followers, hand-picked by you.
Now imagine if that platform was tumblr, and the $10 service was called 'tumblr PRO'. Suddenly, you don't need advertising, feed sponsorship, affiliate products, ebook spin-offs, or a lucky break to earn a respectable side income if you wish. You just need to keep publishing the things you love and watch your (paid) follower count climb.
4,000 paid followers would give you a side income of $1,000 a month. 8,000 paid followers would give you at least $2,000. (If people picked fewer than 20 tumblogs to 'support', you'd get a bigger share of their $5.)
And now you have a way to choose 20 people whose content you enjoy and thank them in a way that counts — with cash.
The gift of free and easy publishing is a wonderful one. But the gift of earning a living doing something you love? The gift of never having to hear the phrase 'monetisation strategy' again? That's pretty hard to beat. We need a better way to support indie publishers. Isn't it time someone built a platform to help?

These are always a hit when I make them. I used powdered sugar for lightly dusting my flat surface as to not add any additional flour to the dough. They come out great everytime and disappear so quickly. I just used linzer cookie cutters I bought at Sur la Table (one of my favorite stores!).
Raspberry Linzer Windowpane Cookies
Leylola Posted: 03/24/11
ChefJenn Posted: 04/12/10
These were a huge hit at the party I brought them to. I did make a few tweaks though. Used 1/2 whole wheat flour, 1/2 all purpose flour. Also used 1 tsp of cinnamon. The dough was slightly drier than expected so I could have used a little more egg substitute or maybe a few tsp of water. It was hard to roll out right out of the fridge but it warmed up a little bit. Used slightly more raspberry preserves than the recipe called for. The cookies came out VERY crispy when they cooled but after putting the preserves on them, they were much softer a few hours later. Perfect! I'll definitely be making these again!
lelkerton Posted: 08/02/10
These are wonderful cookies! They are best when made a little bit in advance and then sit ( at least a couple of hours), so the cookie softens. They also freeze well. In a pinch, I use one large egg instead of the 1/4 cup egg substitute.
Reuscher2010 Posted: 12/17/12
I have no idea why there aren't more ratings for these. Always the star of my annual cookie tins. Definitely worth the time. I bake mine very thin (decreasing cook time) so that they stay somewhat dainty after putting them together. This is the cookie my family always asks for.
socorro411 Posted: 05/24/12
Have made these quite a few times and always been pleased. I also use an egg instead of egg substitute. I like to use two heart shaped cutters for Valentine's Day. I haven't tried it but I think they also be good with a chocolate hazelnut spread instead of the jam.

As I said in my blog post about Peach Breeze, although I've reviewed many, I'm not a big fan of reviewing juices. It's the 'taste is subjective' aspect that always seems to get in the way.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB)--Crews are putting the finishing touches on a business in west Louisville, but it's causing a lot of controversy. That's because neighbors recently learned the business is going to be home to another liquor store.
"I see a lot of crews coming to help clean up down here, lot of churches and organizations trying to keep the neighborhood clean," says Paul Bryant.
Bryant is a lifelong west Louisville neighbor. "I just think it's moving in a positive direction."
And he believes new businesses are the key to keeping the neighborhood moving in the right direction. "We need more stores in the 'hood...especially big store where we can get some product from."
But Bryant and lots of his neighbor are not happy about the new business that's about to open at the corner of 28th and Virginia Avenue.
Bryant says, "I personally ain't one to knock nobody for trying to be an entrepreneur or none of those things but I feel like it's better places you can put a liquor store."
Crews have been working on the building for months. "So we found out maybe 7 days ago," says Metro Councilwoman Attica Scott.
But neighbors and first district councilwoman Scott only recently learned of the owner's intentions.
Scott says, "We've been trying to contact the owners to find out what it's going to be but they would never call our office back and then we got this notification that they had applied for a liquor license."
Councilwoman Scott learned via email that a company called S & S Investment of Kentucky, Incorporated applied for an extended hours beer license at the location...she says it comes as the neighborhood is trying to change its image.
"You can't do that with a liquor store in the backdrop and it's down the street from a daycare, from the Parkland family scholar house; there's too much positive going on to have something like this," says Scott.
Bryant adds another point. He says, "It's enough of those around here. It's better things we can do...more community centers, more parks you know...a library right there."
And Bryant says there's one more thing to keep in mind. "Plus we got to keep in mind that there's a school just a street over...kind of a bad look."
Neighbors met Tuesday night to look at all of their options. They still hope to stop the store from ever opening from business.
S & S Investment head Nicholas Cordova contacted WDRB after the story first aired Tuesday. He said neighbors' characterization of his plans to open a liquor store are incorrect.
Instead, Cordova said he plans to open "a convenience store that sells beer." His application for an alcohol license is to sell beer, he said. Cordova said he hopes to open in March or April and attract other tenants to the building as well.

Because apparently all things need to have an agenda these days, one grandmother has voiced a controversial opinion over the most popular kids' movie of the moment.
LDS blogger Kathryn Skaggs, of A Well-Behaved Mormon Woman, took great issue with what she determined to be the homosexual agenda of Disney's Frozen. Yup, the visual and auditory masterpiece that has already grossed a reported $378.3 million domestically alone is just one giant push to indoctrinate your kids into a pro-gay culture. Or something.
Skaggs draws parallels between Elsa's inability to control her power to being gay. She even makes a comment to "make what you want" out of her role as queen. Get it? She's gay, therefore she's the queen? That is quite a stretch in this writer's opinion, but to each their own, I guess.
On the one hand, I can almost see how Skaggs arrives at her conclusions -- but only because Frozen is so relatable to anyone struggling with pressure from others or even ourselves to be something we're not.
The reason the song "Let It Go" is so popular is because we ALL have things that we try to hide about ourselves until we just can't anymore. I sobbed like a baby when I heard that song because it reminded me of my crappy marriage.
Just like a gay person may feel tremendous pressure (real or perceived) to be straight, I was overwhelmed with the need to "be the good girl I always had to be." Good girls don't make waves. They don't get divorced. They don't come out of the closet.
Anyway, by Skaggs' line of thinking, Frozen must be pro-divorce.
If Frozen has an agenda, the only one I can see is that people are happier when they're real with one another instead of trying to pretend to be something they're not. If that translates to some people as pro-gay messaging, then so be it. For me it's just about love, acceptance, and redemption.
Do you think Frozen is secretly gay propaganda?
Image via Disney
I thought this was going to be about the salesman in the cabin and his family in the sauna.
Roughly 90% of Grandmas would agree with her wrt gays issues, not just the white Christian ones we feel comfortable reprimanding.
Let It Go wasn't even the best song in the movie. I don't know why people like it so much. Olaf's song was much better.
yet there are athiest complaing that it has religious undertones.
Goes to show how you bring your own views and baggage to any interpretation of art and media.
CrazyAZ (fitting name btw). I dont live in the United States, and I supoort gay rights. Just making an observation.

Avira Free AntiVirus 2014 is a basic but capable antivirus engine which does its best to keep your PC malware-free.
Installation is simple and straightforward. Unlike the competition, there are no demands to remove competing products: we had Norton Internet Security installed on the test PC, and were able to run both packages alongside each other without problems.
Once the program is running it provides all the features you'd expect: files you access are checked for threats in real time, you can carry out on-demand antivirus scans on any part of your system whenever you like, and a capable scheduler allows you to set up regular scans to run automatically and unattended.
Just as with the last edition, there are very few changes. Perhaps the best news is that the "Notifier", the pop-up ad which appeared daily if you didn't install the Avira toolbar, has been pulled. And Avira's own firewall has been removed, with the program now providing a basic interface to manage the Windows firewall instead. (Notably this only works with Windows 7 or later.)
If this isn't enough power for you, Avira provides a couple of alternative solutions.
Avira Antivirus Suite 2014 (the new name for Avira Antivirus Premium) has everything in the free edition, and adds plenty of extras. Behaviour monitoring allows the program to detect even brand new and previously undiscovered threats, for example. An antiphishing module keeps you safe online. The program looks out for and blocks infected emails; the AntiDrive-by module protects you from unwanted downloads; its Game Mode suspends notifications during games, movies and other full-screen applications, and you get 5GB of free online backup space.
And of course Avira Internet Security 2014 takes all these features and extends them with encryption tools, PC maintenance options (free hard drive space, increase performance), and more.

Is capitalism sustainable?
Bono stated in his TED2013 talk that the numbers show that we can eradicate all poverty worldwide by 2030. While I really hope that is true, it begs the question: Is capitalism sustainable? Is it possible to have a rich and middle class without a poor class? The sad reality of capitalism is that if there is an exponentially small number of people with exponentially large wealth, there has to be an exponentially long tail of much poorer people who are each contributing to that wealth. Not that we necessarily need an exponentially small number of people with exponentially large wealth, but would the world keep running without capitalistic incentives that increase the separation between rich and poor? Can we eradicate all poverty without the rich sharing their riches? What happens to civilization when nobody is willing to work in the factories and orchards, or build roads?
(Please don't take this question the wrong way! Personally I wish that nobody had to work menial jobs. I just don't understand how we can eradicate poverty when so many jobs will always translate into low-paid labor.)

Mar 16 2013: The best system is one which allows the people to achieve their personal potential, while championing human dignity. In the words of Deng Xiaoping, "It doesn't matter whether it is a good cat or a black cat, a cat that catches mice is a good cat". If communism proved itself to better humanity I would happily see a communist world.
Mar 17 2013: Ok, I'm still trying to think about that. What do you mean by human dignity? What about saying....Justice is the most important law and it's absolute, and that mercy is encouraged but we can't force it? This is basically straight frederick bastiat and I'm not even sure if I LIKE the way that's phrased or if I completely understand it.
Mar 17 2013: Seriously, "Banalities, Insolence"? I would have liked an answer as well! This is not the forum to not be ready to go in depth with what you think.
The Cat, by nature will hunt the mice. If hungry it will eat its head. The cat does not ask for money in return. "It doesn't matter whether it is a good cat or a black cat, a cat that catches mice is a good cat" If in fact the mice is 'deemed' "Good", then it does matter. By mere association, does not make every Chines person profound.

Smut Glut in Movies and on TV Is a Real Turn-Off
Here's a sentence I never wanted to write: Sex is becoming a turn-off. TV and movie sex, that is.
The sheer mention of sex seems to intrude into nearly every TV comedy or drama, at virtually any hour, leading viewers to wonder whether a wilder dalliance is a mere "Thrones" throw away.
Pay-cable drama in particular appears to have gone the way of Cinemax ("Skinemax" to the cognoscenti), and movies are certainly talking a raunchier game with the major box office success -- particularly overseas -- of R-rated films like "The Hangover" parts I and II (more than $1 billion worldwide combined) and "Ted" ($549 million). Miley Cyrus was simply following the zeitgeist in her routine at the MTV awards.
"The country supposedly is getting more conservative, but sex is incorporated into virtually all entertainment, and the audience isn't exactly protesting," observes Sheila Nevins, the savvy chief of HBO's documentary division, the unit that produced vintage sex docs like "Taxicab Confessions," "Real Sex" and "Cathouse." Nevins finds that her cleverly conceived old shows do as well on their 20th run as on their initial one, so she hasn't shot new iterations in the past few years (she still turns out 40 docs a year for HBO -- quite a few of them with folks wearing clothes -- and wins numerous accolades).
Documentaries about the proliferation of sex in pop culture, particularly on the Internet, have begun to appear -- witness Tribeca Films' "Sexy Baby," in which a nubile teen laments that "the adult entertainment world has infiltrated the mainstream" (it's not clear whether she's pro or con about this).
In TV, explicit fare performs strongly on the ratings front, with "Game of Thrones" scoring well overseas (the show draws 14 million viewers in the U.S. across all platforms). HBO's Cinemax schedule was expanded with shows like "Strike Back" aimed at the younger male demo (though the cabler claims to be interested in broadening its appeal to more than just the skin-obsessed). HBO's now nearly 35 million-strong subscriber base has, of course, been treated to a long legacy of marginally explicit shows, from "Sex and the City" to Lena Dunham's "Girls," which have set new boundaries for the female demo. HBO's long-standing inhouse rule: Sex scenes work if they're organic, not gratuitous. But Dunham's oncamera anatomical self-explorations go well beyond the barriers of even such new shows as Showtime's "Masters of Sex," which details the studies of sex researchers Masters and Johnson in the 1950s.
Given the box office success of "The Hangover" sequels worldwide, filmmakers are gleefully pushing the limits of profanity. Reviewers disdained "We're the Millers," but the New Line film has already grossed $237 million worldwide. Its dialogue is mega-raunchy: In one scene, an 18-year-old is encouraged by his surrogate father to give a blow job to a highway patrol officer.
New Line topper Toby Emmerich, who has presided over a number of comedy hits going back to "Wedding Crashers," propounds this basic comedic rule: "If the purpose of a scene is just to get people talking, you're courting disaster. If it flows from the story, it's cool." Ironically, there is less explicit content in "Don Jon," in which Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a young guy with a porn hang-up, than there is in most romantic comedies.
Reflecting the new universe of sexual candor, actors are now commonly asked to sign consent forms for "simulated sex acts" and to "consider in good faith" producers' requests for random erotica. One well-known actor was asked to sign off on a castration scene (an ex-girlfriend's act of revenge) but, to satisfy his ego, was also granted approval of the dimensions of his lopped-off prosthetic. Agents pitching clients for the film version of "Fifty Shades of Grey" (now being cast) are nervously awaiting the language of their deal memos.
Justice Potter Stewart famously defined porn with the remark: "I know it when I see it." Considering the explicit sex on television and the height of potty-mouth raunchiness on film, the question remains: Has society seen -- and heard -- enough?

text: MILWAUKEE, WI (WHBL) - The high-flying Milwaukee offense went cold Monday night, as the Brewers mustered only three hits in a 3-0 home loss to Washington. Ryan Braun doubled while Jonathan Lucroy and Mark Reynolds both singled for the Crew, which ended a four-game winning streak. Carlos Gomez ended his 18-game hitting string and his Major League-leading 35-game on-base streak. A three-run homer by Adam LaRoche was the only offense the Nationals needed. It was the third straight game in which he homered at Miller Park. Matt Garza struck out seven in seven innings, as he gave up three runs on five hits with a pair of walks. He dropped to 4-5. Gio Gonzalez got the win, giving up three hits and four walks in six scoreless innings in his second start since being out for a month with an inflamed shoulder. Gonzalez struck out five, as he improved to 4-4. Tyler Clippard struck out the side in the ninth for his first save. Nationals' manager Matt Williams was ejected in the second inning after an argument with the plate umpire over a called strike three. Milwaukee still has the second-best record in the Majors, but its division lead over Saint Louis slipped to four-and-a-half games in the National League Central. Washington extended its N-L East lead to two games over Atlanta. The Brewers and Nationals play again tonight. Right-hander Yovani Gallardo faces former U-W Stevens Point right-hander Jordan Zimmermann from Auburndale. You can catch the game on WHBL starting with pregame coverage at 6:35.

Courses Taught
AD496Art & Culture in Northern New Mexico
AD456Art Since 1900: Harmony and Conflict
The artworks of Pablo Picasso and Hannah H? both the well-known and lesser-known artist made paintings and sculptures that facilitate our understanding of how people experienced the twentieth century. Cubism, Surrealism, Expressionism, Minimalism, and more - these artist movements were initiated through group declarations of common aesthetic purpose. This art history survey looks at how their varied concerns with theories of the unconscious, radical political programs, social upheaval, and scientific discoveries were expressed through artistic production. Anxiety, joy, curiosity, and activist predilection combine to formulate a rich amalgam of fresh and challenging visions of the world. Level: Introductory. Prerequisites: none. Lab fee: $65. Class Limit: 18 *AD* *HY*
AD459Contemporary Artist as Researcher and Activist
The student will be introduced to the post-modern stream of visual culture that places nature and our relationship to it within the context of pressing global issues. These artworks engage with nature by their placement in site-specific locations, through new modes of picturing, and/or through the appropriation of natural materials. Many of the artists we will examine make use of new tools designed for industrial purpose, medical, technological or scientific research. Other artists utilize organic materials to craft their designs. These artists appropriate the role of "researcher" in order to bring attention to ecologies that human beings have disrupted or will disrupt. How these artists bring us to a deeper understanding of our relationship with nature through new media is our concern. Evaluation is based on class participation, evidence of completion of weekly readings, and a final paper and a class presentation. The class will take at least one field trip. Level: Introductory/Intermediate. Prerequisites: none. Lab fee: $50. Class limit: 15. *AD* *HY*
AD462Drawing Mineral and Botanical Matter in the Forest of Maine
Viewed as a regular practice, the descriptive power of drawing can intensify the experience of observational fieldwork, provide the draughtsperson with a richer understanding of the cycles within a landscape, and deepen our relationship with the natural world. The primary setting for this studio course is Mount Desert Island. The subject matter of our visual attention includes trees, rock features, and other indigenous plant life of the island. Students will learn a variety of drawing methods in order to document the natural history of a specific place. Coursework includes: maintaining a field sketchbook, graphically recording the development of a singular botanical life-form over the course of the term, and producing visual notations in the sketchbook during a bi-weekly slide lecture on the history of artistic representations of the natural world. Evaluation is based on class participation, evidence of completion of weekly assignments, and final project. Level: Introductory/Intermediate. Prerequisites: None. Lab fee: $65. Class limit: 12. *AD*
AD475Prints and Printmakers: A Natural and Cultural History
Prints and Printmakers introduces students to the history and culture of printed images. The course is organized chronologically and develops by way of geographic location. The advent of reproductive technology in the fifteenth century (printed books, woodcuts, and engravings) coincides with dramatic developments in the natural sciences, theology, and political institutions of the Western world - the images from this early modern era still hold an emblematic place in our imagination and remain concealed within current popular culture. The class will be concerned with unique images, multiples, and reproductions from the fifteenth through the eighteenth century that serve as substitutes for objects of art, topographical describers, as well as pictures that serve as paradigms of cultural ideas and illustrations for scientific discourse. We will explore the way in which nature and culture are envisioned before the popularization of photography and digital image revolution. Theoretical associations with these reproductive technologies will be brought forward to deepen our understanding of artistic practice. Anyone studying the development of human ideas over time would benefit from this course. Students will be evaluated based on class discussion, short writing assignments, and a final research paper. Level: Introductory/Intermediate. Prerequisites none. Class Limit: 12. Lab fee: $65 *AD* *HY*
HS910Processing the Unexpected Journey
AD451The Reality Effect: Art and Truth in the 19th Century
There are myriad realities described by artists and authors. This course concerns itself specifically with the development of visual Realism from 1800-1945 in Europe and America. We will examine the origin of artist methodologies of production as they relate to modernity. Our concerns will include the relation of art to significant political, sociological, and psychological programs of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The new realities created through revolutions in political and social structures, and in our understanding of the physical composition of the world itself are made evident in art that pictures social class, large historical moments, and a specific instant of time in a way that changes how we visualize reality and challenges our understanding of actuality. Students will be evaluated based on class participation, class discussion leadership, reading notes, and written paper. Level: Introductory/Intermediate. Pre-requisites: none. Class limit: 16. Lab Fee: $30. *AD*
AD4016The Wilderness in Landscape Art I: Proto-Ecological Visions

1. Find a Friendly, Knowledgeable Gun Shop
When you go to purchase your first concealed carry handgun, you may find yourself feeling nervous and out of your element at the gun shop. If this sounds familiar, I promise, we've all been there and done that. Know that this is where the value of a truly concerned and dedicated professional can shine through, and that would be the gun shop sales person from whom you decide to buy your first gun.
The salesman's role is to explain to you, in terms you can comprehend and with no condescension, the varieties of handguns available and how they operate. An ethical gun salesperson or firearms instructor wants to see you on a regular basis and keep you as a customer. An ethical professional will also never push you into buying a particular product and should work to keep you, as a first-time buyer, resist being seduced into believing that cute, sleek, shiny, or complicated makes for a better defensive weapon. Rather, a good salesperson will help you make a truly informed choice, and they stay updated on quality products on the market.
2. Try Before You Buy
I suggest that, when shopping for a defensive handgun, you find a range facility that will let you rent different handguns, as well as offering basic handgun, personal protection, and concealed carry classes taught by qualified, certified instructors. In such a customer-friendly environment, you can best determine which type of handgun will best suit your particular needs.
As you begin to shop, you first need to educate yourself by gathering information about the different handgun types, makes, and models available. Then, compile a list of your objectives based on your own personal attributes and needs, so that you can make an informed and personally appropriate selection. No one handgun is perfect for everyone or every situation.
3. Know the Attributes of Good Carry Gun
Think light and thin, which equates to carrying comfortably. Also, think about how you dress. Will the gun be easy to conceal with your normal, every-day wardrobe? You may want to try before you buy. A customer-friendly gun shop will permit you to hold a handgun you are considering and maybe even try it out in a holster on your hip to see if it is the right type for you to carry.
4. Insist on Reliability
While the above criteria are important, we mustn't sacrifice reliability and durability in a carry gun. Remember, if you are going to carry your handgun everyday and practice with it, it must hold up!
5. Find a Good Fit
In choosing your carry handgun, you must judge as to whether each option provides a good fit for your hands. Does it point naturally? Is your trigger finger comfortably able to reach the trigger without your having to distort your proper grip? Unless the gun is a point-and-shoot gun, are the sights usable? Can you see the front sight clearly with your corrective lenses on?
