|Cullen Genealogy Homepage has moved ! ! !
|Season's Greetings from my Cullen family to yours ! The Holidays are a special time to be spent with friends and family . . . I hope your Holiday Season will be a happy one. I've taken this opportunity also to make a major change to the Cullen Genealogy Homepage. After ten years with LRBCG, I've found it necessary to relocate the Cullen pages to a new server. This was not an easy decision and, for various reasons, was unavoidable. I regret the necessity of everyone having to change bookmarks, weblinks, etc. It's my sincere hope that ( save some unseen future catastrophe ) the Cullen site will never again have to suffer a relocation to a new server. I've enjoyed my time with LRBCG immensely and would highly recommend their friendly and dependable service to anyone.
|Below is the link to the new location of the Cullen Genealogy Homepage. Please update your bookmarks, weblinks, and other references to the previous location at LRBCG. I apoligize for this inconvenience. I hope the new Cullen Genealogy Homepage will be as successful on the new server as it has been all these years at LRBCG.

A glamorous paean to the Academy Awards (as interpreted by the Charleston Ballet Theatre) unfolded on Upper King Street Thursday night. The shrill fervor of a star-studded red carpet was incited by a clutch of autograph seeking fans, or in-character ballerinas setting the stage for the night ahead. Greg Tavares returned to the microphone-wielding Ryan Seacrest role he has so expertly filled in previous years, and the cameras were rolling as gala guests arrived. Seasoned attendees knew to expect the glare of the spotlight, but quite a few newbies flashed a terrified "deer in headlights" expression when Tavares pressed them for an Entertainment Tonight sound bite: Who are you wearing?
Perhaps the only person who didn't stumble over the sartorial interrogation was Mary Porter, a gown designer whose frocks will be shown during Charleston Fashion Week. Although Porter opted for basic black, many of the women adhered to the "Black Tie / Red Dress" apparel request, a nod to American Heart Month. On the heels of Valentine's Day, the effect of this color coded ensemble was Eros articulated in silk and satin.
While the arts thrive as an escape from monotony, a window to something that exists outside ennui, they can also illuminate the raw essence of our shared human drama. This was evidenced when the third dance segment of the evening—a very brief, bittersweet interpretation of Up—evoked a wellspring of emotion from the audience.
"I'm going to cry," said the man seated behind me to his wife.
"It's okay, dear," she replied. "You can cry."
He was not alone. Guests yelled "Brava" between their sniffles.
In all, the dancers performed snippets of dance inspired by Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, Precious, Nine, and the aforementioned Up.
As the performance portion of the progressive evening wound down, guests bundled up for the quick trip across the street to the American Theatre, where the seated dinner, silent auction, and face-to-face time with the corps of dancers awaited. Looking like girls who played dress-up in starlet's steamer trunk, the ballerinas were cocooned in yards of meringue-like organza that billowed around their lithe frames as they swanned around the ballroom.
The tables, too, were decked out. Inspired by a slew of Hollywood hits, the table decor designers appeared to have looted the backlot at Paramount and absconded with some wonderful silver screen ephemera. Each table had its own unique theme, and the tableaus ranged from a visual ode to Harry's world at Hogwarts to Holly Golightly's window shopping at that landmark jewelry store (the table was bathed in Tiffany's signature hue of robin's egg blue). Although each of the sixteen tables was clever in its own right, it was the detail-drenched homage to Bruce Lee designed by the Charleston Flower Market that won the audience's secret ballot "Best Of" nod at the end of the night.
The evening rounded out on a high note with the Have Nots! improv troupe spoofing the CBT interpretations of the Oscar nominated films that opened the gala. Bless his heart, Timmy Finch never met a cross-dressing opportunity he didn't (appear to) love. With abs that would make a Balanchine hard body flinch with envy, Timmy flitted across the stage during a high-kicking number that paid homage to Nine and brought the house down.

RE:Help me choose a reel...
I've got a pal who has an almost new Billy Pate Tarpon for sale...For Juro, special good deal!...
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro...Howdy pardner! I've used the Charlton 8550c and it's to die for but the second mortgage might mean more time at work and less time at the working end of a tight line...
I did happen to stumble onto some interesting classified ads on www.flyshop.com and noticed a few ported Abels and an interesting Bauer M7 with two extra spools (the price was quite reasonable).
I've got an M6 and like it's large diameter for a ripping retrieve, light weight, an overall quality...It's a keeper. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Bauer and a few of my friends LOVE them...and it's Spey compatible!
But if you win the lottery and decide on wreckless abandon, go with Jack Charlton's 8550c...
When the airline industry lays off the engineers, fly fishing technology soars and we are confronted with SO MANY WONDERFUL CHOICES!
Regards, Petey
Any thoughts on my Gore-Tex jacket dilemma?
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Try the Teton and Tioga reels, They do not cost alot and are a great value, They have good drag systems too. My other choice would be an Orvis CFO disc, If it comes in a saze you like.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
I believe that Van Stall omitts the logo brand name on the reel body if you spend the bucks with your name ingraved in it's place. You had better check though.
Rodeo some silver missles out west. Ridem cowboy!!! Yipe Tiyay!
Yep, I was correct. For *ouch* big bucks:
Van Staal is proud to have Master Firearms Engraver Bob Krain of Vermont turn his
craft to our reels. His hand engraving is done with mallet and chisel, transforming a
plain back into a magnificent work of art. Send us your design and Bob will personalize
a reel for you. Laser engraving is also available for all Van Staal Fly Reels. For all hand
engraving, a thirty percent deposit is required. Under no condition can engraved reels
be returned.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, the only writing on the Abel is on the drag screw.. very small, tasteful, etc. Don't forget the Tibor is not gold but more like a silver.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Starting to think I can't get it all in one. I love some of the SW reels but most high end can not exchange a spool without a lot of trouble... and I can't live with either and intermediate -or- a sinking line; never mind the steelhead line as a third need.
Aesthetically speaking, I like a click on the way out, and don't need one on the way in but a subtle one is nice. What's with the Abel? I don't want a lot of writing on the reel, but if there is writing I like it to be tasteful like the Tibor. The Van Staal looked serious, and I love that - but the vented advertising on the side is not for me. Gold is cool for SWFF, but I want to be able to admire it's place on a wild steelhead river in a rain forest too.
The search continues...
RE:Help me choose a reel...
GREAT STUFF!
Please keep it comin'!! I've never gotten such good advice by reading any magazine. I'll go as far as to say that even the words of the 'pros' can't always be as objective and revealing as the words of those who really know - consumers!
I'll definitely be compiling this info (plus all the great email, thank you!) as I move to the next part of the experience... hands-on touchy feely store hopping! yeehah!
RE:Help me choose a reel...
IMHO the Van Staal FR40 deserves a serious look.
http://www.vanstaal.com/flyfishing/fr40.html
RE:Help me choose a reel...
I live in Concord NH, and work in Nashua, so Hunter's is sort of(20 mins out of the way) on my way home. It's great having such a well stocked shop near home, especially since i don't think i've ever gone into a fly shop to get tying supplies and remembered more than 2/3 of what i wanted. If you're in the area i'd recommend stopping by the shop, i think they carry most of the reels mentioned in this post and with a purchase like this i'm sure you're going to want to be able to compare some of the reels side by side.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, There is alot of advise in these responses but you said you were looking for an heirloom... If that's the case. don't worry about changing spools.... Go with the Abel Super series and look at the platnun series. Yes they are expensive... but you did ay heirloom... right.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, you are asking for alot, but you deserve alot.
Billy Pate: +'s bombproof, proven, smooth strong cork disc drag, not too expensive. A classic. -'s full cage frame, small arbor, many parts and a special tool involved in changing the spool, kind of a tweener...Bone fish is too small, tarpon is too big.
Tibor Riptide: +'s This is the reel that the Billy Pate spawned. Has all of the +'s of the Pate, as well as a large arbor. Same drag as the Gulf Stream reel used to break the IGFA blue marlin record, nonported body( beach friendly) This is a perfect #9-#10 reel. -'s a little heavy to be false casting all day. maybe not quite 200yds. of 30# backing, a few parts in the hand when changing spools and expensive spools.
Abel Super 11: +'s flawless fit and finish, proven, silky smooth, just about the perfect #10-#11 reel but weighs about the same as the Rip tide. -'s no outgoing click! same spool considerations as with the Tibor.
Islander 4.0W: +'s not that heavy, almost as good as the Tibor and the Abel( which is more than good enough), easier to change spools (parts remain captive until popped out). I think that this is about perfect for a #9. -'s hmm...can't think of any. Drag has a little start up inertia( very little). Not as sexy as the abel and tibor.
Charlton: these are cool reels. Spools for tarpon, off shore, and spey. Very spendy and too big and heavy to be false casting all day. Too bad because the drag is totally sealed and would be perfect for the surf. I have not used this one, but the tolerances are incredable...maybe too tight?
Bauer: not in the same league.
Orvis Vortex: +'s Juro, this one is very close to what you have asked for. The spools are cheap enough to actually have a few(about $90). They click on and off with no loose bits. The reel seems to be first rate. Unbeatable warrenty. -'s Heavy, My brother's neglected reel that lives out side is starting to stain. I have heard of spools deforming under a lot of pressure. Having to listen to buddies rip on Orvis. Fit and finish is not up to Abel standards. Open back is a sandy disaster waiting to happen.
Reddington: not in the same league.
Sage: +'s this new reel is going to be really cool. Large arbor, sealed carbon fiber drag, easily changed spools, light, and new. -'s who knows? Maybe none.
None of these reels will work with a true spey(wind cutter, accelerator, DT#10 etc.)line. A shooting head would be cool though.
These are just a few of my many opinions. They are based on experience, observation, and a little hearsay. All of these reels are really good and I think that selecting one is like looking for a puppy. Play around with them in the shop and one is going to pop out of the pack and say,"take me home".
I think it will be the Tibor. Have fun, Eddie
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, I think most of the those high end reel have a screw anyway except the Islander, so reel removal requires the use of a small screw driver or dime, etc. I know of none that has a lever type release excetp the next tier down in price, which obviously does not necessarily effect preformance. Also, my opinion on the anti-reverse is not to get it unless it is for big off shore fish since I believe you lose control of the line at times when reeling in.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, I rate Billy Pate among the best, but DO Not try to change spools on the beach. It has a very small screw that can easily get lost. I do have a Bill Pate "Bonefish". This reel I use with an intermediate line, as I do not have an extrra spool. I do have a Teton 9/11 which I have setup with another rod. I find it quicker to carry two rods instead of an extra spool. I do go offshore once in a while and have darn near lost my thumb trying to slow a tuna down. If you buy an expensive reel, in my opinion one needs an anti-reverse model.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
John -
Yeah boy do I love those swanky looking reels but I am concerned about swapping spools... most of those reels are designed for tropical flats fishing where one never really needs to swap a spool.
I personally gotta be able to swap quick with no loose parts.
Maybe someday I will be able to afford TWO like Ruben!
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, I have several high end reel and Big cat is right the Pates are great. Apart for the Abel Super series which is substantially lighter than their big game series. I would take a serious look at the TIBOR. Light ,great looks(since If you pay that much It should be nice to look At). The pate reels are made by the same manufacturer. You can also have a name plate which comes with it. It come in four models and can come in black or silverish. I have the "Rip Tide". Also, large arbor standard and Super drag system

Lecture set on military decisions, March 22
Posted March 17, 2005; 05:46 p.m.
"Military Force, Planning and Decision-Making" is the title of a lecture to be presented at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Speaking will be Col. John Agoglia, director of the U.S. Army Peace Keeping and Stability Operations Institute. Part of the Center for Strategic Leadership at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pa., the institute functions as the army's authority on strategic and operational peacekeeping and stability initiatives, focusing on issues concerning national decision-making and deployment of force commanders and their staffs.
Prior to joining the institute in 2004, Agoglia served at the U.S. Central Command, which he joined just four weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks. He helped develop CENTCOM's plans for Afghanistan and Iraq.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.


text: Worked on my pydnd3e combat utility. I realized that I need to re-write it from scratch paying more attention to an object framework and build things up slowly. Oh well. At least a mostly working version (you can't add/remove/modify combatants while in a combat) is ready for our DND game tommorow).

...guarantee - if he remains healthy - a playoff scenario for the Dolphins next season?
I say yes!! You?
...guarantee - if he remains healthy - a playoff scenario for the Dolphins next season?
I say yes!! You?
April 27 to 29
unless this team does some really stupid things this offseason there is no reason we should not be on the cusp of the playoffs in 2013...if not in...barring real bird brain type stuff this team should win a minimum of 9 games in 2013...
the qb is about to turn the corner...it begins in 2013...
I say no. We have way too many holes being created by this free agency period. If Sean Smith, Jake Long, Randy Starks, and Reggie Bush aren't brought back, we're going to need to find a #1 and #2 corner, a new DT to replace Starks (easier said than done) and a new LT depending on whether or not Jonathan Martin pans out. Not to mention the offense will be much less versatile without Bush, regardless of Jennings' presence.
Signing Jennings will certainly help. He dealt with some injuries this year but he is a true #1 WR in this league.
Nonetheless I am hopeful that the right players do remain in our squad. I will also add that it may not be likely that Long will be coming back because of the salary he demands. We must wait for FA and the Draft to be certain of such outcomes.
He alone won't turn us around, he's not Calvin, Larry nor Andre. We still need a tight end or two, a guard, a tackle, and Ryan to develop into a true starter.

Costco (COST) was outperforming the market today, up 1.2% at recent check, following the company's upbeat June same-store sales report, out this morning.
Before the bell, the discounter said that total comparable sales rose 6% in the five-week period ending July 7. That figure came in ahead of the consensus estimate of 5.4%.
Both international and domestic sales rose 6%, Costco said, and total net sales grew 8% to $9.92 billion for the period. While gasoline prices were a minor positive, they were offset by foreign-exchange impacts. Excluding these, sales climbed 8% internationally and 6% in the U.S.
Domestically, the company saw the strongest results in Texas, the Southeast and Midwest, while Canada, Mexico and Japan were the international standouts.
Citi's Deborah Weinswig maintained her Hold rating on the stock following the report: "We believe that COST continues to gain market share in core merchandise categories. However, we expect a lack of inflation and FX to be headwinds."
Elsewhere, Janney Montgomery Scott analyst David Strasser reiterated his Buy rating on Costco, noting that traffic trends are strong and highlight the company's market share gains. "The consistency of this comp, v. what is clearly a weaker global retail environment will allow COST to sustain its industry leading multiple. They are showing consistency, strength, and market share gains in a weakening and increasingly weaker retail environment."

Most Tibetan art is intended for ritual use. This exhibition, built around the Museum's recently conserved Tibetan-Buddhist altar, explores some of these rituals and their results, such as increasing one's lifespan, promoting a better rebirth in the next life, or trapping and destroying evil spirits that bring misfortune and illness.
Participants in these rituals have their senses bombarded by paintings and sculptures, recitations and music, food and incense, as well as luxurious silks. Thus they see, hear, taste, smell, and touch the power of the rituals. This pageantry is exquisitely detailed in paintings, where monks invoke deities through the use of fabulous ritual implements. The implements are so specialized and obscure that they often baffle non-initiates. This exhibition reveals the coded meanings not only of Tibetan ritual implements, but also paintings, sculptures, textiles, prints, and the altar itself.

Shares of Clorox (CLX) have risen about 20% this year, pacing ahead of the 16% gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 index. For Credit Suisse analyst Michael Steib, that's enough of a move to downgrade the stock:
We are reducing our CLX rating to Neutral (from Outperform) as we see limited further upside after the year-to-date run-up in the stock price. We slightly lower our FY13-14 EPS estimates to $4.32/$4.63/$5.04 (from $4.35/$4.69/$5.05) and essentially view the stock as fairly valued for now. Due to its defensive profile, strong execution and attractive dividend yield, CLX shares have strongly outperformed during the past 6 months. Although we continue to believe that EPS growth will accelerate sequentially in FY14, we think that this is now better understood and reflected in both valuation and consensus expectations…
The current share price of $87 implies a PE of 19.5x CY13 and 18.1x CY14 estimates. This is a premium compared to the 10-year average of 16.6x NTM PE, which we think is justified as the company has sustainably improved its top line and innovation performance.
As Steib notes, Clorox has done well along with other defensive stocks — no doubt in part thanks to its 3.2% dividend yield, an attractive lure in our low interest-rate world.
Barron's wrote about this phenomenon in mid-April, with Jack Hough cautioning that some defensive lynchpins — including Clorox — were looking a little rich (sub required):
Household-products makers like Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Clorox, and Procter & Gamble (PG) have gotten similarly pricey. Faced with ultralow interest rates, cautious savers have bought consumer staples stocks for their relative safety and income, but the group now looks "overstretched" and "vulnerable to a significant correction," wrote Tom Graves, an analyst with S&P Capital IQ, in a research note this past week.
For yield-hungry investors, Jack suggested a few names that throw off income but aren't quite so pricey:
One reason investors love these stocks is that if the economy slips back into a slump, shoppers will still presumably buy their Cheerios, Campbell's chicken noodle and Tide detergent. On the whole, consumer-staples companies have indeed produced steadier earnings than the typical S&P 500 company during the stress test of the past six years, based on a statistical analysis by Barron's. But many non-food companies in cyclical industries, including International Business Machines (IBM), Caterpillar (CAT), and ExxonMobil (XOM), were steadier still—and trade much more cheaply.
Shares of Clorox are trading down today, in a what's a positive day for the market; the stock is off 0.3% at the latest.

Does anyone know what was happening at Chef Chu's (corner of San Antonio and El Camino) last night (Friday, January 25) at around 10pm? I was driving home and there were at least five cars there with lights flashing; El Camino was reduced to a single lane going southeast.
It looked like a pretty big deal; am curious to know what was going on.

Top architect to discuss creative process, April 26
Posted April 19, 2007; 05:28 p.m.
Thom Mayne, winner of the 2005 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the profession's highest honor, will talk about the creative process in a lecture titled "Work in Progress #131" at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 26, in 101 Friend Center.
Mayne is the founder and design principal of the Santa Monica, Calif.-based firm Morphosis. He recently won a major international competition to design a new Paris skyscraper, the Phare Tower, which is due to be completed in 2012.
Mayne founded Morphosis in 1972 as a firm committed to the practice of architecture as an interdisciplinary and collective enterprise. The firm's work ranges from residential, institutional and civic buildings to large urban planning projects. Its recent projects include the Science Center School in Los Angeles, the University of Cincinnati's Campus Recreation Center and the Hypo Alpe-Adria Center, a vast office complex in Klagenfurt, Austria. Mayne's drawings, models and furniture are displayed in museums throughout the world.
Mayne is a professor of architecture at the University of California-Los Angeles and also has taught at Columbia, Harvard and Yale universities, the Berlage Institute in the Netherlands and the Bartlett School of Architecture in London.
The talk is designated as a Stafford Little Lecture and is sponsored by the University Public Lecture Series.

Wonderful narration is a skill which not everyone is up to: actors must be able to maintain multiple characters realistically, while keeping the story going, sustaining the interest of the listener and ensuring an energetic delivery throughout. It is a performance made all the more challenging by the absence of visual aids for the audience: the scene must be set with the narrator's voice only.
Here we highlight some of the well known actors who have lent their talent to audiobooks, producing impressive and intimate performances of some brilliant works of fiction for you, the listener.

The first issue, written by Jeff Lemire with art by Cully Hamner will center around Eternity. This is the story of police coroner Christopher Freeman. After being given a second chance on life, he finds himself with the ability to resurrect the dead. Freeman uses his new ability to help those he resurrects to find their murderers and to gain closure, so they can continue to the other side.
At least three of these would be at home in The Dark family of books. Rose and Thorn could potentially fit there, but I'd think she/they would fit more in line with The Edge books, alongside Grifter and Deathstroke. Either way, the solo focus on non-mainstream characters will be a quick way to give readers a peek at what's going on beyond the core 52 titles and their characters.

Canon launches PowerShot SX150 IS superzoom
Canon has updated its budget SX compact superzoom with the launch of the PowerShot SX150 IS. The SX150 IS adds a 14.1MP CCD in the place of the SX130's 12MP chip. Beyond that the specs are familiar - a 12x 28-336mm equivalent image stabilized lens, 720p30 HD video recording and a comparatively low-resolution 230k dot 3.0" LCD screen. Canon brings its latest 'Intelligent' image stabilization technology to bear on the SX150, with the camera automatically selecting from seven different modes, based on its understanding of the type of shooting being conducted.

Super-easy superzoom for all the family –
Canon unleashes the PowerShot SX150 IS
London, UK, 23rd August 2011 – Canon today announces the launch of the PowerShot SX150 IS – a high resolution, high-zoom digital camera, packed with fun features that make it easy to capture memorable moments in stills and HD movies. With an impressive 12x optical zoom and sharp 14.1 Megapixel resolution, the PowerShot SX150 IS allows all members of the family to improve their photography skills, or simply let the camera do the work, delivering high quality point-and-shoot photos
Boasting a compact, ergonomic design available in red, black and silver, the PowerShot SX150 IS offers an impressive range of features. Whether on holiday, weekends away or family days out, it's simple to capture treasured memories, providing the ideal option for users looking for outstanding performance, simplicity and value in one package.
Compact flexibility
The PowerShot SX150 IS's body houses an impressive 12x optical zoom lens that provides the ability to shoot 28mm wide-angle group shots and landscapes, as well as long-distance close-ups, thanks to its impressive 336mm telephoto reach. Even when shooting handheld, capturing distant subjects and low light scenes in crisp detail is easier than ever, with a 4-stop optical Image Stabilizer (IS) and brand new Intelligent IS technology included to counteract the image blur that results from camera shake.
Whether panning to capture a 100m sprint at a school sports day, or shooting a vibrant flower close-up, Intelligent IS will help ensure images and videos are crystal clear. Completely automatic, Intelligent IS instantly identifies the shooting situation and selects the most appropriate form of image stabilisation from seven possible settings1. For example, Powered IS – a feature derived from Canon's LEGRIA camcorder range – ensures that even when shooting a long-distance subject, movies are captured in spectacular detail with minimal blur.
Fine detail with every shot
Featuring a range of Canon's advanced imaging technologies, the PowerShot SX150 IS lets you capture still images in mesmerising quality. Shots are striking and detailed, with the 14.1 Megapixel resolution capturing the detail required to print in large poster-size formats, or crop the image for a more eye-catching composition. Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor also ensures images are captured quickly, with excellent colour reproduction and quality, as well as providing outstanding responsiveness in every day operation.
Easy functionality and creativity for all the family
The PowerShot SX150 IS helps to make sure every photo and movie looks stunning, whether you're capturing landscapes, parties, fireworks or close-up abstract scenes. Smart Auto, with Face Detection Technology and the latest Advanced Subject Detection technology, identifies the shooting scene from 32 variables2 and automatically adjusts the camera's settings, helping you capture pictures that you'll want to share with friends and family.
Servo AF/AE technology keeps people, pets and other objects, such as cars, in focus and well-exposed right up until the shutter release is fully pressed and the image is captured. And if you simply want to point-and-shoot, Easy Mode will automatically take control of all camera settings, so even users who are completely new to photography can get the picture they want.
Stills and video clips can be instantly reviewed on a large 7.5cm (3.0'') LCD screen, offering crisp playback immediately after capture. Helpful on-screen Hints & Tips throughout the menu system also make it easy to learn more about different camera settings and improve your photography skills every time you use the camera.
Shoot creatively – in stills or HD movies
In addition to high-resolution still images, the PowerShot SX150 IS allows you to capture unforgettable moments in 720p high definition (HD) quality with stereo sound. A dedicated Movie Record Button lets you instantly switch from stills to HD movies, ensuring that you don't lose vital time navigating through menus and settings. You can also shoot videos in Apple's iFrame format, which requires no transcoding before being imported into Apple video editing software, making it faster and simpler to transfer and edit footage.
Alternatively, you can explore your creativity with an extensive range of innovative Creative Filters that can be instantly applied to bring still photos and movies to life, including Fish-eye Effect, Super Vivid and Poster Effect. Toy Camera Effect gives the impression of photos taken using a pin-hole camera, Monochrome lets you shoot in black and white, sepia or blue monochrome, and with Miniature Effect your images take on the appearance of small-scale models. Miniature Effect also extends to video mode, allowing you to experiment with different effects across stills and HD movies.
Capturing anything from self-portraits to those all-important family moments at Christmas or on holiday is stress-free thanks to Smart Shutter. You can activate the shutter with a simple wink or smile, while FaceSelf-Timer triggers the shutter release when a new face enters the frame – avoiding the traditional sprint from behind the camera, and allowing the photographer to be part of the photo.
In addition, the PowerShot SX150 IS will be compatible with the HF-DC2 – a new high- power external flash unit that can be used to supplement the on-board flash.
Share your stories
With all these features you'll no doubt have a collection of photos you'll want to share. Owners of the PowerShot SX150 IS can join the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, an online facility for sharing photos and video. The CANON iMAGE GATEWAY Online Photo Album provides up to 2GB of personal storage capacity – enough room for hundreds of high-quality images.

Discuss in the forums
Earlier versions from 100 is to 120 is, aperture was 2.8 and closest focusing distance was 0 cm. i miss these two very much.
I wish that Canon has designed in a Lithium-ion battery instead of AA batteries in the SX150 camera.
Sanyo eneloop AA batteries are guaranteed for at least 1500 recharges, and are made of a long-lasting material which should not significantly lose its recharge potential for at least 10 years or more. Lithium ion batteries have a shelf-life of about 2 years. They will be dead - unable to recharge - in 3 to 5 years even if they are never used at all.
AA batteries are standardized, lithium ion batteries are not.
New-generation rechargeable AA batteries of the eneloop type are FAR MORE GREEN than ANY type of lithium ion battery currently made. Your statement is uninformed, ignorant, absurd, preposterous and totally and completely opposite the actual truth about GREEN BATTERIES.
AA new-generation rechargeable batteries are the ONLY TRULY GREEN BATTERIES CURRENTLY BEING SOLD TODAY for use in digital cameras.
Ttoday's AA battery-powered cameras will still work for 100,000 shots right out of the brand-new dusty box they were safely stored in on the shelf all of those years.
Can anyone tell me what the shortest focus is? ie. How close to the lens can subject be?
Will more megapixels mean poorer image quality in yet another otherwise good camera? Pardon my sketpicism, Canon, but there is plenty of precedent.
Canon disapoints again.
I love Canon gear but I would have to agree with you...What's new...More MP. Wow did you out do yourself this time Canon...NOPE! Why waste your time unless you have some big improvements.
I bought the SX130 a year ago and I will not upgrade it to the SX150 because there is no need, in any form or fashion.
Very Disappointed.
Small sensor, slow lense, 720p video...how 2010!
Try; larger sensor, (1/1.63"} faster lense (2.0), 1080P AVCHD video at 60fps. pocketable, Sony type panoramic capable, picture capture from video, descent burst capability, Oly xz-1 adjustment ring, zoom to start at 24mm and under $500.
I was thinking of the LX-5 when I posted. The video, panoramic and adjustment ring are improvements I'd like to see. I consider the LX-5 pocketable enough. I believe they should be able to squeeze in a little more zoom and still keep it small enough.
A CCD sensor, versus a CMOS in the others. Is a CCD somehow preferable in ultra-zooms? It might alleviate rolling shutter in video, but what else?
The aperture is no wider than F3.5. Perhaps low light results are only so-so.
Not clear what this offers that competing models do not.

I am a new user to this forum. My question is, can i use a bow and arrow to hunt turkeys in the Black Hills, with a
non-resident turkey tag. I would be purchasing a Black Hills non-resident spring turkey tag. I did talk to the Game and Fish
department and did not get that warm fuzzy feeling about the answer i received. Also is it legal to have a firearm and bow
in my blind at the same time. The Game and Fish department told me that it was legal to have both weapons in my possesion.
They also told me that I did not need an advanced bowhunter education certificate unless I applied for the Archery Only
Spring turkey tag. Any help that anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

President Trump, his fossil fuel administration, and anti-conservationists in Congress are attacking America's public lands!
Donate today and help save America the beautiful. Your gift today could be what stands between our public lands and Big Oil's drills.
Just as you rely on wild places to rejuvenate and restore you, those places rely on you to keep them in good condition.
Loop hikes are considered to be the pinnacle hiking experience.
With fresh views at every step, none of your time or energy is wasted.
So you're thinking about taking your hiking adventures to the next level?
At an Oct. 16 celebration of the 50-year milestone of the Wilderness Act, The Wilderness Society presented the We Are the Wild Inspiration Award to Cheryl Strayed. The award recognizes a person who embodies the spirit of wilderness and its transformative power.
For the past couple of months, we've brought you updates from Montana, where Wilderness Society interns Lily Clarke and Greta Hoffman are conducting collaborative research with the University of Montana on the effects of fire and restoration on forest ecosystems for ecologist Travis
America's wild places offer oodles of opportunities to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. But there's one type of recreation for which it seems the rules are not quite clear.
Twenty-eight trails have been newly designated as National Recreation Trails, Secretary of the Interior Jewell announced on the eve of National Trails Day on May 31, 2013.
National Trails Day on Saturday June 1st provides numerous opportunities to hike, run, and horseback ride on a trail near you.
Spanning over 2,000 miles from Maine to northern Georgia, the Appalachian Trail (also known as the A.T.) represents the pinnacle of American wilderness.
Trump is already checking off the oil and gas industry's wish list and now his anti-conservation partners in Congress are following in kind. Stand up to them!

It charged the seamen who used the service.
The seamen had to work to get the service.
Also, at the time, the merchant marine was considered the wartime reserve for the Navy (look up the reasons for supporting fisheries discussed at the time of the revolution), so it was, in a way, the predecessor to the VA.
By the way, Pres. Obama, what happened to 5 days of public review of any bill before signing?
Do you even KNOW what's in the bill? I know there are members of Congress who don't, and they voted for the damned thing, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the President hasn't read the thing.

In today's increasingly diverse society – where cultures and languages are constantly shifting and changing – raising a bilingual or multilingual child has become less of a want and more of a need. There's no question that there are multiple benefits to getting your little one started on conquering more than one language, especially when the early exposure to language – preferably before the age of thirteen –is essential in order for fluency to be possible. However, if you're still on the fence regarding whether or not to pursue more than one language for your child, check out these three benefits and tips for raising a bilingual kid.
- Intellectual development.
Studies have shown that intellectual development is generally greater in bilingual children and that dual language speakers usually perform better on analytic tests than monolinguals. Being able to speak more than one language automatically increases your ability to analyze and grasp difficult concepts. Much like early musical training helps to develop the portion of your brain involved in reasoning; language learning has much the same effect, helping kids to be able to use their minds in a greater capacity.
Teaching tip: Consistency is key. If you plan on embarking on the language learning journey with your child, you will need to be incredibly consistent to ensure fluency happens. Divide your time between languages and make sure you're practicing with your little one on a daily basis.
- Multilingual learning.
One of the greatest benefits of having a child grow up bilingual is that even once they reach adulthood learning other languages becomes exponentially easier. Sister tongues will be easier to pick up in tandem: a child who knows how to speak French can link their knowledge to Spanish studies, as an individual fluent in Japanese will have an easier time understanding the basics of Mandarin. By raising a bilingual child you are in effect setting them up for the possibility of becoming a successful polyglot.
Teaching tip: Exposure is key. Studies show that your child will need to be exposed to a language for at least 30% of their day in order to effortlessly become bilingual. Make foreign language books and computer games available to them at home and see to it that their classroom is stocked with some basic learning supplies as well.
- Bicultural advantage.
Knowing how to speak more than one language has been shown to boost flexibility and adaptability in children. Due to the variances in languages, bilingual children are better able to manage and understand different cultures and many times blend in much easier than monolinguals. Speaking foreign languages also creates a wider cultural perspective, causing bilingual children to be sensitive to different points of views and ways of life.
Teaching tip: Tenacity is key. There may be a period in which your child will refuse to interact with you in the desired language. Perhaps your child doesn't see the point in it or is simply succumbing to the majority language they hear most of the time –either way you must stick with it. Regardless of the bumps in the road, know that the payback will be huge later on.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Click here for the Inside Mississippi State Sports Blog with Brad Locke
STARKVILLE – Rick Ray loves to isolate himself in the gym with his players and just coach basketball. Right now, that coaching involves a whole lot of teaching.
As Ray's first season at Mississippi State rapidly approaches, he's trying to get a very young team to understand his philosophy of playing a motion offense and a very physical style of defense.
"I'd say we're a little bit behind right now as far as our halfcourt offense," Ray said. "Our fullcourt offense as far as our secondary and transition break is on pace right now. Defensively we've got a long ways to go on just simple things."
MSU opens the season Friday night at Troy. First, though, is an exhibition at home at 4 p.m. today against William Carey.
The Bulldogs feature three returning players, four (healthy) freshmen and two junior college transfers. And two walkons. That's it, and the overall youth makes the learning curve that much steeper.
A big concern for Ray is his players' decision-making ability. His motion offense gives players freedom to make plays and create open shots for others, and that requires learning the best option on a given play.
Ray is trying to aid that process by putting the Bulldogs in game-like situations, playing fourminute and eight-minute "games" and simulating late-game situations.
"That's the biggest difficulty you have with guys that are inexperienced, is not whether they can play college basketball, it's what type of decisions they make in crunch time," Ray said. "We're trying to make sure we simulate late-game situations to see what type of mistakes they make. "Not only what type of mistakes they make, but now bringing them back in film the next day and saying, 'Look at the time, look at the score.
What should we have done?' Using that as a teaching tool."
S o p h o m o r e Roquez Johnson, one of the returnees, said Ray is very exacting in his instruction. "He's tough with everything. He makes sure everything is perfect," Johnson said. "The motion offense, we'll go over that all day every day at practice so we can get it down pat."
Junior Jalen Steele said he feels good about the Bulldogs' ability to run for two halves, and said that "everybody on the team can shoot the ball." But he knows as well as anyone that there's a long way to go for this team.
"Once we get everything down pat with each other and everybody knows what their game is and what they can and cannot do," Steele said, "I think we're going to do good this year and win more games than people expect."

Be safe. Be compliant. Since 2003, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been investigating a greater number of automotive repair businesses for safety violations, in response to complaints from employees upset about unsafe conditions.

One of the violations inspectors are looking for is unprotected floor openings, which must be guarded or covered when not in use, according to OSHA fall protection regulations. Penalties for violations can range up to $70,000.

Shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are down 13 cents, or 0.8%, at $14.81 as the stock today received two more downgrades following Wednesday's analyst day, during which CEO Meg Whitman said next year's earnings will miss expectations as the company deals with a massive restructuring.
Argus Research's Jim Kelleher cut his rating on the stock to Hold from Buy writing that the turnaround "will take longer than previously expected" and that there are "no quick fixes":
We had originally anticipated that H-P's enormous resources, market share, and distribution would enable it to begin turning around revenue and EPS in FY13, though top-line and margin recovery is no longer in prospect for next year. The turnaround at Hewlett-Packard will likely be a multiyear process, and we expect the stock to track the market going forward. We no longer regard HPQ shares as a deep-value play with unrealized value, and regard a HOLD rating as appropriate.
Kelleher's not even sure Whitman's plan will do the trick, writing "in our view, the company's current restructuring plan may prove insufficient, and could lead to additional charges and further downsizing."
The new headcount cut, 29,000, laid out by CFO Cathie Lesjak "is still not a huge number for a company that begins with 320,000 employees," observes Kelleher.
Moreover, he notes that "Restructuring savings, initially targeted to fund reinvestment opportunities, are now being used to offset the deteriorating outlook."
Kelleher is now modeling $113.4 billion in revenue next year and EPS of $3.40.
Sterne Agee's Shaw Wu, meanwhile, writes today he is "reluctantly" cutting the stock to Neutral from Buy, estimating the stock to be worth $15, counting projected trading multiples for different parts of the business, plus $7 per share in net debt. But if one applies a 30% "private equity" or "liquidity" discount to account for the heavy debt load, fair value drops to $10.
"We are at a loss in identifying positive catalysts within a reasonable investment horizon and fear for further downside surprises as we believe the headwinds the company faces are likely structural and secular in nature."
Wu identifies the long-term issues facing both services and printing:
In its services business (30%), which is expected to decline 11%-13% Y/Y in FY13, it is also under considerable pressure and likely losing share to IBM and ACN due in part to its weaker position in higher-end value-added segments. In addition, its issues in printers (20%) are well known with the emergence of tablets and smart phones with displays replacing the printed page.
Wu is also skeptical HP will distinguish itself in a PC market that is not guaranteed to produce hits with Microsoft's (MSFT) forthcoming Windows 8
In its PC business (29%), it faces several competitive fronts including encroachment by mobile devices, as well as lower-cost providers Asustek, Acer, and Lenovo. In addition, we are unsure if Windows 8 will prove to be as big of a catalyst as many think; as in our supply chain work, there is confusion into what form factors will actually sell, i.e., tablets, ultrabooks, and convertibles, as well as competitive pressure from MSFT's Surface tablet. In addition, Apple's (AAPL) iPad is already widely used in enterprise environments and it isn't clear if another platform will gain traction.

Results of 2007 CHKS-Guns in our Pleasanton schools
Original post made by Paula Plunk, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Nov 19, 2008
Page 9. Chart 7
Carried a gun on School Property
30 7th graders ( now 2008, 8th graders)
15 9th graders ( now 2008, 10th graders)
15 11th graders ( now 2008 seniors)
The district has always stood behind the complete findings of the survey. The survey has been done for years and as the district says, it is just one of the tools in the educational and safety process of our students. How many parents and community members knew this result? Do they care?
The students that answered these questions, answer truthfully, according to the company that supplied the survey because the students remain anonymous. So, for those parents and community members who look at these results and scoff at the numbers, remember, like in Oakland, it only take one discharge of the gun to change everyone's lives forever. Luckily, no one was hurt in the Oakland incident.
The district and school board needs to show responsibility in addressing this issue immediately. They cannot just embrace the good findings, but they must act to deter a dangerous situation starting at the 7th grade level from progressing even farther. Yes, they may have a huge budget crisis on their hands but they also have "60" students who still may believe it's ok to bring a gun to school. I don't know if anyone at any level of our district has ever had an assembly or time in a classroom about the consequences of carrying a gun to school. I haven't heard anything to believe the district has ever addressed this issue in a public form so parents and community members are fully informed.
Chris Grant, newly elected for another term to the PUSD school board, did provide insight to his concerns about the shocking results of underage drinking of the 11th graders surveyed. It would be nice to see what his opinion is about this finding.
To newly elected PUSD school board members Hinske and Arkin; since you both ran on a platform of knowing what the parents need because of your long time residence, and your well indoctrinated volunteerism, I can only hope that you have the ability to address this as a priority issue.
To see the full results of the survey go to the PUSD website, under results of the CHKS.

Just how gullible are you? When I take the survey, by the time I am done, I carry guns, take drugs, and have sex. You take the survey seriously. Most of us just get it done.

How could the results of teenage drinking be "shocking?" Do you live in the United States? Do you see the movies and TV shows the kids are watching? Do you see the alcohol their parents drink? Why would they be immune to all these forces that they're exposed to?
on Nov 26, 2008 at 8:54 am
I'd much rather see the board address the enormous waste of educational time caused by administering worthless surveys "tests". "Survey" is absolutely right. By 7th grade any kid knows that an anonymous survey is a joke and will embellish just for fun!

Here is an internet meme that will never die: "If you watch x backwards, it is about y…" We wrote about this meme months ago, when funny folks online showed us just how much our favorite movies and TV shows meant something entirely different when told in reverse. And when a recent r/askreddit thread popped up reviving the joke, we couldn't resist picking out our favorites! So, check out our gallery for James Franco, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Hemsworth, Lindsay Lohan, and more stars like you've never seen them before.
I can't take credit for any of these; I just copied and pasted the Redditors' amazing text. So I've cited the Redditor on each slide. Thanks for the LOLs, guys!

Based on feedback from customers VMware Go has met this goal. According to customers "VMware Go is so easy to deploy its like child's play!" and "virtualization is now as simple as making toast". One customer said he "Was surprised at how easy VMware has made Virtualization". Now with VMware Go Pro we want to bring that same ease-of-use to IT infrastructure management to help SMBs increase their IT productivity and business responsiveness.VMware Go Pro is a web-based service designed to simplify IT management for Small businesses. VMware Go Pro lets users easily virtualize servers, scan and deploy patches to secure their infrastructure, and track software inventory and licenses to maintain compliance. VMware Go Pro provides a single pane of glass to manage both virtual and physical infrastructures. VMware Go was developed in partnership with Shavlik Technologies, and now with VMware Go Pro that partnership has been extended to leverage Shavlik's expertise in patch management. Although patch management is new to VMware Go Pro, the underlying technology is robust and mature as it was developed by the same team of experts that built the well-known Shavlik NetChk Protect which has been used by thousands of customers.The free trial of VMware Go Pro is now available and includes the following new features:(Click on screenshots to zoom in for details)Patch Management to Secure your Physical and Virtual Infrastructure. Keeping patches up to date is critical to ensuring the security of your IT infrastructure and protecting it from threats, however patch management can be complex and resource-intensive for small businesses. VMware Go Pro is a simple and affordable patch management solution specifically designed for the small business.Patch Scan: Scan physical and virtual machines for missing security, non-security, and 3rd party patches for the Microsoft OS. Scan by machine name, domain or IP range. View missing patches sorted by patch or machine and view past scan results if desired. Patch Deployment: Deploy patches to all or selected at risk machines and specify reboot options if appropriate.Software License Management to Track Software Inventory and Licenses to Maintain Compliance. As the number of applications and devices in the typical small business rises, tracking and managing software licensing and usage can become challenging. VMware Go Pro helps customers maintain control of their software inventory- Scan physical and virtual machines for software titles, so you know exactly what exists in your IT environment. - View software titleslisher, and view past scan results if desired. - Scan by machine name, domain or IP rang sorted by pube and remove irrelevant machines from the scan results.Create software license descriptions: These consist of the license name, description, number of licenses, license key, purchase date and expiration date.Maintain Software Compliance: Once you've created a software license description you can assign it to the appropriate software title. Software titles are discovered during the software inventory scan. The license management report matches the quantity of licenses entered in the license description with the number of instances of the software title found during the software scan. If the instances of the software title is greater than the number of licenses (i.e. if Crystal Reports was found on 7 machines during the scan, but you only have 5 licenses for it) then this software title is marked as non-compliant. Software that hasn't been assigned a license is also considered non-compliant. If there are software titles that you don't need to assign a license to (like free software), you can simply hide those specific titles. The license management report can also be filtered to quickly show only the non-compliant software titles.

What did a woman accidentally gulp down? How much could PNM rates increase? Albuquerque Public Schools has a plan for "high-
1) What did a Gallup woman accidentally swallow?
a. A bumble bee
b. A prosthetic finger
c. An engagement ring
d. An oral thermometer
2) PNM wants to raise electrical rates by how much?
a. Just a little bit—about 1 percent
b. Enough so you'll feel it—10 percent
c. A significant 25 percent
d. The company wants to double the rates.
3) What will APS do with "high-
a. Ask them to hold lots of bake sales
b. Turn them into charter schools
c. Ask Intel to sponsor them in exchange for water rights
d. Give the schools more money
4) What did Lobo men's basketball coach Steve Alford win?
a. Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year
b. Paul Mitchell's Best Greased-Back Hair award
c. NCAA Coach of the Year—honorable mention
d. The Bobby Knight Loudest Screamer award
1) C. A woman's fiancé dropped an engagement ring into a milkshake and challenged her to a chugging contest that was also meant to be a marriage proposal. After she won the competition, her soon-to-be husband realized the ring was nowhere in sight. The couple rushed to the hospital, and the woman eventually retrieved the ring after a lucky bathroom break. It now rests comfortably on her finger.
2) B. A proposal by PNM would increase electric rates by 10 percent. If it's approved by the Attorney General's Office, the plan will be phased in. On July 1, 65 percent of the rate hike would go into effect, and the rest of the increase would be implemented in March 2010.
3) D. Superintendent Winston Brooks noticed an unequal distribution of funding districtwide, so schools in rich neighborhoods will see budget cuts. The plan is being criticized because some of the city's largest schools will also be seeing less cash in the attempt to even things out.
4) A. In his second season at UNM, Alford won the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year award. The Lobos were picked to finish fifth in the conference at the beginning of season. But in the end, the team split the conference title three ways with BYU and Utah. The lobos are 21-10 overall.

Old Job
I left Scyld at the end of January. I helped them get their latest version done, and a version based on Red Hat Linux 7.2 and the 2.4 kernel well underway. It was shown in New York at Linux World Expo.
New Job
I joined Ximian at the beginning of February. I managed to leave my self no vacation in between jobs, having my first day at Ximian be less than 24 hours after I left Scyld. I'm hacking on Red Carpet for a living now, and am trying to get a handle on the code base. It seems readable, but is large, given that is supports RPM, dpkg, and has a gnome front end.
As part of the new job, I moved to Boston. It was fairly easy, all told, but lining up the truck, packing, and unpacking have taken quite a bit of my free time. I still have a few boxes to unpack, and some clothes to organize, but, for the most part it went smoothly. I have not found anything missing, which is the important part. I used Movex, who I would highly recommend. They simply provide the truck, driver, and gas for the move. This was exactly what I needed. I didn't need a full service moving company to pack, load and unload my stuff, and they were fairly reasonable at about $200 per linear foot of truck space.
Everytime I move to a new city, I have to relearn basic stuff, like where the supermarket is, how to get around, etc. Thanks to the fact the I have roommates and coworkers who have lived here longer than I, I now know that Star Market is the mail supermarket chain, and Harvest Co-op in Central Square is great store with lots of good looking produce. I have been to some restraunts and bars, but haven't found a good guide to Boston nightlife yet. On the positive side, I don't need a car, as the T seems to go most anywhere I want. On the down side, the T closes at 12:30 AM everynight.
