Globalization and the (Mis)Governance of Nations
We analyze whether or not the globalization of capital, 'disciplines' governments and improves governance. We demonstrate that globalization affects governance, by increasing a country's vulnerability to sudden capital flight. This increased threat of capital flight can discipline governments and improve governance and welfare by placing countries in a 'golden straitjacket'. However, globalization may also 'overdiscipline' governments - resulting in a perverse impact on governmental incentives that catalyzes (mis)governance. Accordingly, the paper suggests a novel (and qualified) role for capital controls. Finally, we provide some suggestive evidence consistent with the predictions from our theoretical framework.Download Info

Eric Wareheim's New Music Video Is Bizarre And Butt-Centric
He directed the clip for Major Lazer's "Bubble Butt," which also features Bruno Mars, Tyga, 2 Chainz, and Mystic. And butts.
He directed the clip for Major Lazer's "Bubble Butt," which also features Bruno Mars, Tyga, 2 Chainz, and Mystic. And butts.
They look so fresh-faced and innocent. I'm dead.
His clip for Beach House's "Wishes" is beautiful and bizarre, but his new Adult Swim show, Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories, will be even stranger.
"Wishes" was directed by Eric Wareheim from Tim and Eric, and it looks like some kind of mystical pep rally.
Struggling to come to terms with the new rubbable GIF feature? Here are a few helpful tips to learn how to deal with it:
"Quick, name 10 things that aren't Skrillex!" The worst game in the world, inspired by Tim and Eric.
Before their success on Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, James Quall and puppeteer David Liebe Hart (along with zero self-awareness) had a public-access TV show called The Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson Program. Here are some videos of both shows so you can ask yourself, which is weirder?
Not a surprise, I'm sure. But what may be the best part about the upcoming "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" isn't so much the movie itself but the press tour that allows these guys to go wackadoo on every single regional morning show. Case in point: Fox 7's "Good Day Austin" kept cutting to "Billion Dollar" clips because host Joe Bickett couldn't deal.
Tim and Eric are hard at work promoting their upcoming "Billion Dollar Movie." Though it wasn't all that well received at Sundance (due to the film's rampant "nincompoopery"), plenty of celebrities have signed a pledge to see the film when it comes out in theaters everywhere. But not "The Lorax," because it looks bad.

Who would have thought that this would be absolutely insane? None of us could have seen that coming. View Media ›
There must be so many confused gamers right now. I wonder what the venn diagram of people who are actually psyched for this game and avid Tim & Eric fans looks like.

It's easy to decrypt the firmware. The vfdecrypt keys are in the dev wiki: VFDecrypt Keys: 3.x - The iPhone Wiki
So now the countdown begins till someone successfully ports over the features. (like when they added street view to the ipod touch in 2.2.) They have already partially ported video editing to the 3G (just cannot use the camera with it enabled.)
Can someone verify if the zoom feature uses new cpu-specific instructions? May it be possible to enable just this feature?

Why do I get a grey screen and a loading bar every time I open my laptop?
mende1 Valmojado, Toledo, Spain
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Open Disk Utility and verify the drive. If it's correct, your computer is starting in safe mode, so reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Is the battery OK?
By default, when you close the lid on a MBP, two things happen: the whole memory contents get saved to disk into the hibernation image and once that is done the system goes into the low-power sleep mode. When you open the lid, the memory is verified: if no errors appear, the Mac awakens normally. If errors occur, it falls back onto hibernation mode: this means the saved image is copied over to memory before the Mac comes back online. What you're seeing is precisely this loading of the memory from the hibernation image.
Apparently your Mac is eschewing sleep mode and going always into hibernation. This can be either cause the battery is bad and memory is getting corrupted while asleep OR cause the Mac was set not to sleep, just hibernate.
Besides the command-line instructions for Terninal, to set or reset this, there are a number of utilities that offer a graphical alternative. I recall one called SafeSleep, used to be free but the developer recanted recently. MacPilot is another one (amongst a zillion other things it lets you do) but it's shareware too.

I hope it's not a battery issue because this macbook is pretty new haha. So the only way to change my macbook to sleep is by using one of these graphical alternative utilities?

For all these arcane settings and adjustments there's always a command you can type in Terminal. However, for the sleep/hibernate dealings I have absolutely no clue what it is. Maybe Google helps, or asking in the Unix side of this house (i.e., mac_os/mac_os_x_technologies).
Or ask a Genius at the Bar. But I get the feeling we're trying to avoid having to go there if possible....

I'm wondering if it is charger related because I've been opening my laptop without it being plugged in, and it's been fine. The times when it did grey out is when the charger was plugged into my laptop. Do you think this is something I'll have to take to Apple to get fixed?

I have the exact same problem, new MacBook Pro 13", non-retina. I bought the computer in July, and I think it's been going on now for a little less than a week... possibly since the last firmware update. I find that it happens only when I haven't used the computer for an extended period... which is usually in the morning after I've woken up. At night, I've only ever had the computer plugged in. Please fix this problem, Apple! It's not a horrible bug, but it makes many question whether their computers need to be repaired.

K sounds good. I've gone ahead and issued a bug report as well. Here's my experiences with this, after keeping the computer asleep for more than 4 hours:
1. If I don't use the charger during sleep, it works like normal.
2. If I leave the battery plugged in the whole time and open it with the battery plugged in, I get a semi-transparent screen, as though the battery had died, with a loading bar. After the loading bar goes away, I see my content. The time goes up 4 hours from when I put the computer to sleep, and a couple of seconds later, the time becomes correct.
3. If I leave the battery plugged in the whole time and unplug the battery charger, the computer makes a noise as though it's awaking from sleep. Then when I open the computer, I get a gray screen for a couple of seconds, and then it loads my content and updates to the correct time.

Many wondered if this game would ever see the light of day. Originally announced around the same time as Splinter Cell: Conviction, it's been a while since the ghostly military figures have made an appearance. And in many ways this had us worried about the game. Generally long developments mean development issues - and not good ones. However, it appears that delaying the game and starting again or at least changing a lot of the gameplay has been for the better. Ghost Recon Future Soldier is a little different to what we have seen in previous Ghost Recon games and in some ways represents a hybrid of traditional Ghost Recon games along with Splinter Cell style gameplay. As you would expect with a name displaying Tom Clancy's favourite name, political problems is the name of the game here. The Russian president has been overthrown in a coup and a rogue military installed, something the United States is not happy with. This new president is taking power by force rather than democracy and it is up to you as the Ghosts to help the resistance on the ground and re-take Russia for its rightful president. If it sounds familiar it's because it could have very easily been ripped from headlines of the last 12 months in certain regions of the world. Once you get into the actual gameplay, it becomes a bit more familiar with the mantra if the ghosts have seen you, you are already dead continuing throughout. One of the more interesting gameplay changes this time around is something that has been inherited from Splinter Cell: Conviction. As you progress through each level, you generally have three counterparts with you. Instead of directly taking command, you offer targets to them. So, as you move through the level, you can tag enemies and then in co-ordination take them out. This is one of the most important aspects of the game as Ghost Recon Future Soldier is not easy. If you are caught unawares you may as well hit restart because gunfights generally go poorly for the player. One of the hardest tasks is to ensure you have taken out all the enemies in one co-ordinated shot, or at least ensure you do not alert any nearby. This tactical side to the game gives the game a bit of a fresh look. Another thing that's carried through from Splinter Cell is objectives appear directly in the world. The other side to the game, the Future Soldier area is the weaponry. As you progress through the game more and more advanced weaponry is offered to your team. Many of these are a lot like the perks you see in a typical Call of Duty game such as drones to mark targets or remote control cars to get through tight spaces. There are also times where you are trying to protect a walking piece of machinery. One thing we really like about Future Soldier is that in general the technology present throughout seems realistic and something that could actually exist in war today. That is aside from the cloaking camouflage, but we won't go there. | The missions themselves are varied and interesting. Sometimes you will be taking out a specific enemy, other times disabling missiles, but by the time you have been through the games fourteen missions, you will have conduct missions in the day and night, and in various environments. It's not the kind of game you can play for hours and hours on end because the somewhat repetitive nature of the gameplay can get stale in lengthy sessions. One thing the game is very good at is making you think the mission is over, only for things to go completely haywire and the ghosts challenged to even survive let alone complete the mission. However, this is not overused and is not easy to predict. The game becomes more difficult once spotted because enemies appear out of nowhere in their droves. So, you are punished significantly for being found. To aid with this during the start of each mission you can use the gunsmith to build unique weaponry. Customising the guns is one of the more interesting aspects of mission preparation. [img]2[/img] Visually the game is very impressive. The game does not skip a beat even with large explosions and the frame rate is rock solid on the PS3 as tested. The environments are large and varied allowing you to tackle each situation thrown at you in various different ways. It is generally possible to finish off most areas without even being seen. The mission variety also helps with this with snow, desert and jungle the order of the day. The ghosts themselves are highly detailed and the weapons display the changes you make in the gunsmith mode. Sound effects are typical explosions and gun fire with the voice acting doing the job, but not overly impressive. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier may have taken a very long time to arrive and been thrown back at the whiteboard a few times to get it right, however, it's been worth it. Ubisoft didn't want to ruin its franchise with a bad game and it's to their credit that they took the time to do it right. There are a few issues with Ghost Recon, and it's not exactly the traditional GR game, but overall it strikes the balance between action and stealth well and is worth a look. |

Trippin 'N' Rhythm Records one of the genres most active and aggressive labels knew a star when they saw one and jumped at the chance to add Vaughn to its ever growing roster of fresh and inventive young artists. "Breakthrough" marked his label debut and has already made waves across the country with a two week debut on the national Billboard chart at #24 and eventually reaching and staying at #1 for three consecutive weeks on the Billboard charts with his first hit single "On Your Feet

Top 10 Best (Original) Chiptune Songs
on 07.20.2010
I would like to preface this blog with a few things that the Destructoid community might like to know. First of all, I do not claim to be the authority on all that is chiptune; this is a personal list of what I consider the best chiptune out there. My main mission is to expose more people to a variety of artists who do not receive enough credit for their work. I remember starving for great chiptune in past years, but not knowing where to look. I believe there are other chiptune deprived people out there who are ready to appreciate this style of music, but do not know where to look. I hope this list exposes others to what I consider an incredible and unappreciated genre of music. I want the rest of the Destructoid community to love this music along with me.
This is also my first blog, and it took forever, so be easy on me.
10. The Massacre- FantomenK
More than a few of you might be familiar with FantomenK's disco/house influenced music, as ever since Anthony Burch realized that putting copyrighted music at the end of
Hey Ash, Watcha Playin'?
episodes might not be the best idea ever, FantomenK's
The Massacre
has often appeared as a stand in for credits music. FantomenK's work was also featured in a music video collaboration with Keith Apicary (of Screwattack fame) in
Four Bright Buttons & Two Joysticks
. If you like
The Massacre
I would seriously suggest you check out FantomenK's
CPU Mood
as well.
For more of FantomenK's work, check these links out:
9. Little Fighter X- Fighter X
Little Fighter X
Fighter X is an excellent Seattle based artist whose music I first came in contact with when Kotaku posted a video of the artist playing an impromptu gig outside of PAX 2008. Unfortunately (but not unsurprisingly) the Kotaku post did not include Fighter X's name. It was not until a year or so later that I independently stumbled upon Fighter X's music and his series of Maru-inspired
Lo-Tek Resistance
videos that I was able to figure out the identity of the once mysterious (at least to me) chiptune artist.
For more of Fighter X's work, check these links out:
8. Heads up, Hearts down- I Fight Dragons
Last summer, while taking a class at Northwestern University, I happened to spot a flyer on my way to the campus arcade. It sported an NES cart inspired graphic that included none other than Samus, and it advertised for an NES feuled rock band called
I Fight Dragons
. This was precisely around the time that I began to get into chiptunes, so I was incredibly interested to say the least, but due to my circumstances at the time, I knew I would have no chance of being able to see the show (there was an age limit of 18 and older.) I believe I looked them up that day, but for whatever reason, their music did not interest me at the time.
9 months later, for one reason or another, the name "I Fight Dragons" popped back into my head. I looked them up again, but this time they grabbed me. Their music is full of talent, and is all manner of painfully obvious awesome, and I have no idea why I was once so foolish.
Apparently they have signed with Photo Finish Records (which also handles "3oh!3",) and have been touring as of late, so you might hear more about them later on.
The IFD crew uses all manner of game paraphernalia during their shows, including Power Pads, Guitar Hero controllers, and NES control pads.
For more of I Fight Dragons' work, check these links out:
7. Helix Nebula- Anamanaguchi
Anamanaguchi is a New York based chiptune-rock band that overlays electric guitar with the most insane, fast paced, cheery chiptune imaginable. While I am not terribly fond of their music myself, I have huge appreciation for the quality of their work, and a feeling that much of the Dtoid community will go insane of this.
They were featured in
an episode of College Humor's "Bleep Bloop"
as well.
For more of Anamanaguchi's work, check these links out:
6. Wasted My Time- Superpowerless
The UK based artist Superpowerless is self expressed as making 'Game Boy-fueled adventure-core' music. One of the few chiptune-heavy artists to use vocals, pop-influenced Superpowerless has a slew of original and cover songs.
The artist was a winner of an MTV Vodafone Competition, with the prize of having a music video directed by Luc Janin, resulting in the amazing stop-motion video above.
Superpowerless used to roll out a new song or cover every week or two, but sadly this appears to have stopped a few months ago. I would seriously suggest checking out the catchy
Robots Need Love Too
, which has a variant of the Konami code as part of its lyrics.
For more of Superpowerless' work, check these links out:
5. OutBrk- Sabrepulse
Sabrepulse is probably one of the most popular chiptune artists at the moment. He was instrumental in getting many fans into chiptune in the first place, including myself. That said, I am no longer a big fan of his music, as a large portion of his music is far too heavily breakcore influenced for my tastes.
On the other hand, he does have a handful of great songs that I can still enjoy, such the one above, and
Twin Chevron Action (Remix)
For more of Saberpulse's work, check these links out:
4. Insane Youth- Maru
I really don't know much about Maru, aside from the fact that he is based out of Japan. What confuses me even more is that I do not find any of his songs, other than the masterpiece above, particularly compelling, but this may be due to the fact that I just have not done much digging in the fellow's library.
You might remember me referencing Maru as inspiring Fighter X's guerrilla chiptune shows. This is because there is an awesome
of Maru playing chiptune in the streets of Japan.
For more of Maru's work, check these links out:
3. Gemini- smiletron
Smiletron is an apparently Nashville based chiptune artist. He has experimented with a few different influences, including a few ambient songs as of late, but his main style could ultimately be described as dubstep, and Gemeni is a perfect example of this.
Smiletron's songs have some of the sexiest baselines ever, and if Gemini's crazy triangle waves weren't enough to convince you of this, listen to
Gravity Won't Stop Us Now
For more of smiletron's work, check these links out:
2. When I Sleep, My Heart Speaks- IAYD
When I Sleep, My Heart Speaks
The fact that IAYD can make a song as good as this with a single Gameboy is nothing short of mindblowing. IAYD's songs also have an unique element of grit and crunch that separate them from the rest.
Other songs by IAYD that I would suggest you check out are
Between Multiverses
For more of IAYD's work, check these links out:
1. OkiiRobo_Navigation_System- Henry Homesweet
I am not sure if I can adequately articulate just how amazing I find this song: The overdriven feel, the melody, the tempo changes, the grit, and the glitchiness.
What kills me, though, is that Henry Homesweet does not really make traditional sounding chiptune. I do not know how to describe his
usual work
(which is still great, don't get me wrong.) The only other song of his that begins to match the magic of OkiiRobo is
Gasping Between Kisses
Well, thats the list. Sorry to those who have favorite artists that didn't make it (Bit Shifter, Wiklund, Dennis-Kharlan, or any number of other artists.) I invite everybody to share what chiptune artists and songs, both on and off the list, in the comments.
Depending on the reception that this gets, I may begin a regularly scheduled blog about different chiptune artists/songs that I find interesting. If you would like this, let me know!

Modern Languages Graduate Program Assessment Report 2003
Submitted Fall, 2003
Since the Assessment of the Masters in Education Degree Program (French, German, Spanish Specialization) is closely linked to the Comprehensive Examination of these students and none of them have taken this exam since the Graduate Assessment Plan was accepted in Spring 2003, we have not been able to assess any of the areas yet.
Two to three Spanish Specialization students, however, are planning to complete their course work and to take their Comprehensive Examination in Summer 2004. At that time we can assess these students for all six of the objectives (a-f) listed in the Graduate Assessment Plan. The sample will necessarily be small, like the program itself, but the information acquired may be helpful.

Panasonically Perfect
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18
Member Name: rleigh
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18
Date: 27/03/08
Advantages: Excellent picture quality, aesthetically beautiful.
Disadvantages: May be a bit expensive for some.
Aesthetically the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 is beautiful, a lovely looking camera and one of the best looking of its kind in fact that I have ever seen. It's all black appearance was greatly alluring for me, and was the reason I looked into the camera further and eventually decided to buy it. For many a year I had wanted to purchase a Nikon SLR, I have long been an admirer of their D40 model and will no doubt one day buy this dream camera of mine, but for the foreseeable future this Lumix is the camera for me. It will be a long time before I'm in the market for a digital SLR camera, and my outlay of £245 therefore seems a lot less substantial than I had previously thought. I tried and tested a number of different cameras before finally settling with this one, and am certainly glad that I made the final choice that I did. Not once has this camera let me down, and always the pictures that I take impress.
- Size and Weight -
First and foremost, when buying a new camera you need to consider the size and weight of any given camera before making a purchasing decision. You'll be wanting to take the camera out and about with you, and therefore if the camera is too big then it's going to prove to be too bulky when on the move and it's just going to annoy you. Similarly, if a camera is too heavy then carrying it around can become quite a chore and you may find yourself not wanting to take the camera out and about with you due to its cumbersome presence. This particular camera has a weight of 360g and dimensions of 4.63 x 2.96 x 3.47 inch (width, height and depth respectively). This camera I feel is the perfect size and weight, any larger and it would be quite a nuisance to carry but it's just right I feel. When holding the camera I do not feel that it is at all on the large side, and its weight merely makes it feel sturdy and strong. Too light and you wouldn't be able to hold the camera with comfort, and similarly you may not notice if it had gone from your person (I'm prone to losing things). The weight of this camera allows it so sit comfortably in the hand, and it makes its presence well known without ever feeling overly heavy.
- Ease of Use -
I am by no means a professional photographer, somewhat of a novice in fact; but even I can take a professional quality photo with this camera. I would therefore suggest that this camera is extremely easy to use then, I certainly have no problems in utilising its many features. In the past I have done little more than point and click with the cameras that I have owned, if the picture was good then I was glad of it, if bad then so be it. Since purchasing this Panasonic Lumix camera however I have found myself taking far more care over my photos and adjusting settings in order to take the best photographs possible. It's not difficult to do, and the camera does in fact have many features to take full advantage of.
- Picture Quality -
As my first digital SLR style camera, I have nothing really to compare the quality of my prints to. I have however looked at pictures taken by various other similar cameras on-line and find the quality of those taken with this Lumix to be up there amongst the best. Regardless of situation, this camera always seems to come up trumps in taking an excellent photo and never appearing at all dull or dreary. The photographs taken with the camera are always rich in colour and beautiful to look at, I've definitely been thoroughly impressed with some of the fine camera work I have shown since I purchased this camera. A few years back I was taking photos I was really quite ashamed of, no such worry now though as I capture some beautiful images that are bursting at the seams with colour and life.
Images can be taken in four different formats; Fine, Standard, RAW, and RAW+ JPEG. Picture quality using all four modes I have found to be excellent, but there are certainly some major drawbacks in utilising 'RAW' and 'RAW+ JPEG'. If using either of these modes then you can prepare for a long wait when taking your photos. 'RAW' will take around 10 seconds to save pictures, and 'RAW+ JPEG' will take an even more frustrating 15 seconds. The times I am quoting are if you're utilising the inbuilt memory of the camera, but if saving to an SD card then the time taken to save is still quite long (although roughly half what it is when saving the files to the camera internally).
Due to the 8.1MP rating of this camera, pictures as large as 3264x2448 can be taken. Although this is obviously something that is not always necessary, it is nice to have these sorts of capabilities with the camera (even if it is quite memory draining to take pictures at such high resolution). Only a couple of times have I utilised the capabilities of this camera to that degree and on all occasions I have been greatly impressed with the photographic outcome.
- Video Recording -
As well as being able to take stills, video capture is also possible with this particular Panasonic Lumix camera. I have never owned a video camera, I have never felt the need to really (although deep down I've always wanted to buy one, I just can't justify the expense), I have used this camera for capturing videos quite a bit though. Much like with taking pictures, video quality is excellent with this camera and has always impressed me. Videos can be captured at a maximum resolution of 848 x 480 pixels, and in my opinion this is excellent. I did not buy the camera for taking videos, just for taking photographs, but the video recording capabilities of this camera have been greatly pleasing to see. Ultimately I do want to own a video camera eventually, technology astounds me and I love to own all the latest gadgets; this camera however is great for capturing video and the need for a Video Camera for me is therefore no longer there.
- Memory -
Built-in to this camera is roughly 27MB of memory. This is obviously not going to be enough to meet your requirements and in fact allows you to store very little at all. The camera does however accept SD cards, SDHC cards, and MultiMedia cards also, so there are plenty of options open to you for expanding upon the memory that is already built-in to the camera. When I bought this camera, at the same time I also bought a 4GB SD card to store all my photographs on. Shop around and you can find one of these for as cheap as £10, it really is quite incredible how cheap SD cards are becoming and I could in fact have bought an 8GB SDHC card for only £28.99 from mymemory.co.uk had I felt the requirement to, but decided that 4GB would be plenty enough space for me.
- LCD Screen -
The screen on this camera is plenty big enough at 2.5 inches. It is crisp and clear, a perfect place to view your photos in small before blowing them up later on the computer. It is a 230K Pixels screen and pictures as a result can be displayed in great detail, beauteous in their full glory and never with this screen do they ever appear dull. LCD screens on digital cameras are an extremely important feature I feel as if the camera is not blessed with a decent screen then you never know quite whether you've taken a good picture or not. The screen on this Lumix certainly allows you to tell, and if you do ever take a bad picture with this camera (a difficult task) then you will soon know about it.
- Zoom Feature -
Being quite a beginner in the photography field, my knowledge about the 'zoom' capabilities of cameras had been quite limited. When spending out £250 however, I certainly looked into this more closely and found that this particular camera is greatly blessed in the way of zoom. It has 18x optical zoom, and 4x digital zoom. This I feel is extremely substantial and allows for excellent pictures to be taken in all circumstances, a feature that renders interchangeable lens cameras as somewhat pointless. Great pictures can be taken without the need to keep changing lenses with this camera, an easy to use and highly practical solution to all your picture taking requirements that's for sure.
- Computer Connectivity -
When you purchase this camera, you are supplied with not only the camera itself, but USB cable, battery and all the required software also. Once the camera is bought you can simply install the software to the computer/s of choice, and then you'll be ready to go and will be easily able to connect the camera to your computer using the USB cable supplied. Given that the camera utilises SD memory, the great thing is that if you've got a computer that has a built-in SD drive then you can simply take the SD card out of the camera, insert it into the computer and view the files this way. This removes the need for using a USB cable, and if you're using a laptop and are quite limited in the way of USB ports as I am then this is something that you may find to be particularly useful.
- Battery Life -
With a professional camera of this sort, as great a battery life as possible is always most appreciated. I have found the battery life of this particular camera to be more than adequate. The battery will last for roughly '400 pictures' according to the specification, and this should be more than enough to fulfil your picture taking requirements. I can't say I've counted the number of pictures I can take before the battery life runs low with this camera, but this certainly sounds like a realistic figure to me and is one that I really can't complain with. On very few occasions have I drained the battery entirely, generally I'll recharge long before the battery runs low and I feel that this method is really of best benefit. I always feel that running the battery down to nothing hampers the performance of electrical products slightly sometimes, that's certainly something I've found in the past anyway and am therefore always quite weary of this.
- Final Thoughts -
Given that you can pay upwards of £1000 for a digital SLR camera, I feel that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 actually offers exceptional value for money. It may sound quite expensive when you look at the figure on paper, but the excellence of the camera certainly justifies the price tag and makes the monetary investment well worth your while. Obviously if you're on a tight budget then this camera is not really a realistic avenue for you to go down, but then again I think that it's worth saving up for if you can. It's quite economical in that if you buy this camera then you won't need to buy another for a long, long time, whereas if you go for a cheaper model then you will perhaps find yourself upgrading far sooner. The camera comes in either silver or black, but I personally feel that the black is the far more beautiful of the two and therefore I took little time in opting for the black model as opposed to silver.
This is the best quality camera that I have ever owned , and it's certainly opened up my eyes to a whole new level of photography. I find myself thinking about angles, lighting, and camera settings when taking my pictures now, something that I have never done before. My photography efforts have before been a bit lacking, but now my creative energy surprises me. I'm starting to think like a professional photographer now, all as a result of my beautiful Panasonic Lumix. I'm not a professional, but from the quality of the pictures I can now take you'd never know it. Photography is so much more fun now that I have my lovely Lumix and I thoroughly suggest that you too consider investing in this camera. You certainly won't be left disappointed.
Summary: An excellent camera, by far the best that I have ever used.

A reader writes in with an interesting proposition.
"A friend of mine from Hayes Valley and I have been engaging in some friendly smack talk since the results of the Curbed Cup was announced… We started discussing what in our neighborhoods we would trade with each other. I, for example, would trade The Wiggle for Blue Bottle, Molotov's for Marlena's). I think this could be an interesting topic for your next open thread piece. I suspect there are a lot of people down the hill (oops, smack again…) who would like to get Wing Wings down their block."
So for your Sunday, we thought it would be fun to know what you covet most about our nextdoor neighborhood, and what you think might be a fair tradeoff. Our friends over at Hayeswire are going to do the same. Who knows, maybe we can make a deal.
