'Skating With the Stars': Rebecca Budig wins with perfect score
The first -- and, let's be honest, probably the only -- season of ABC's "Skating With the Stars" came to a close on Dec. 21, crowning "All My Children" star Rebecca Budig as its champ.
It's only slightly surprising, given her domination of the competition and perfect score for her last routine, but Jonny Moseley's elimination on the eve of the finale did seem to turn the tide in runner-up Bethenny Frankel's favor.
Budig shares her handsome silver-covered skate trophy and partner Fred Palascak.
So did the right woman win? Did you even watch? And if not, why are you reading this?
Rebecca deserved to win based on talent. It was a little unfair from the get-go that she was already a good skater with a background in skating as a kid coming into the competition, while Bethenny had zero prior experience. I think what Bethenny learned to do in 5 weeks compared to someone who has skated all her life is incredible. It's so much more difficult than it looks. Still, the better woman won. But Bethenny fought hard and deserves major props for that.
You also have to remember that ABC's demo appleals well to older folks, particularly older women who watch DWTS. What else do older folks watch? Soaps. Rebecca winning is a no-brainer. Bethenny appears on Bravo, which doesn't get as many viewers aged above 49. Dancing with the Stars can have twice the amount of viewers as Glee on Tuesdays but Glee still wins the key 18-49 demo. That tells you something about the age and preferences of the ABC dancing/skating show audience.
The only reason Rebecca Budig won was because of ABC Daytime President Brian Frons more than likely fixed it for his All My Children pet Rebecca. Rebecca skates exactly like her acting on AMC stiff and nothing exciting to watch.
Rebecca was polished, but did not display any personality. Bethenny showed real star quality & heart; her skills grew every week. I think she was much more memorable, especially for the grace she showed under distressing judging prejudice. What a trooper!
I did not watch, but from the few seconds of the first episode I saw, I knew that she would win. And it's a short article that's why I read this.
No, I didn't watch the show. I read the article for the snark.
The 'Tea Party' supported Bethany or she never would have made it to the finale. Think they jammed the phone lines in Montana.
Hey there KOTH. I'm an older person and I have NEVER watched soaps. Do you think older people have stopped living and have no interests or ambitions?? Most "seniors" work out of the home, in the home, but none of them that I know watch "soaps". That's what brain dead people do. Seniors are intelligent and continue to contribute much more to the economy and the country then they are ever given credit for. I'll bet you could tell us all about the soaps and what happens on soap TV. We seniors have better fish to fry. We like exciting, not dull and boring.
no, i didn't watch the show but i clicked on this because i wanted to make sure Bethenny didn't win.
I think Jonny and Brooke should have won personally. Having Rebecca and Jonny competing for the title would have been a real competition. I was not happy Monday night! With that said, I sure hope for another season, I love figure skating and my 3 yr old wants to try it sometime because of this show.

Heritage Lottery Fund
This article relies on references to primary sources. (June 2008) |
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) was established in the United Kingdom under the National Lottery etc. Act 1993. The Fund opened for applications in 1994. Using money raised through the National Lottery, HLF aims to make a lasting difference for heritage, people and communities across the UK and help build a resilient heritage economy. From museums, parks and historic places to archaeology, natural environment and cultural traditions, it invests in every part of our diverse heritage.
Over the last 19 years, HLF has supported almost 35,000 projects with more than £5.3bn across the UK.
Large projects[edit]
Major projects supported by HLF include:-
- Restoration of the Kennet and Avon Canal, Somerset – awarded £25 million[1]
- Creation of the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea – awarded £11 million[2]
- Kelvingrove Gallery, Glasgow – awarded £13 million[3]
- Heaton Park, Manchester – awarded £8.5 million[4]
- Restoration of Greenhead Park in Huddersfield - awarded over £3.7million[5]
- Acquisition of Titian's Diana and Callisto (for the National Gallery London and National Galleries of Scotland) – awarded £3million[6]
Small projects[edit]
- Restoration of Central Bandstand, Herne Bay - awarded £340,000.[7]
- Restoration of Cedars Park, Broxbourne - awarded a £1.89 million Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund grant
- The Bristol Dinosaur Project, an educational initiative, awarded £300,000, to run from 2010-2013
- Aquisition of the Huxley Hoard by the Grosvenor Museum, Cheshire Museums Service and National Museums Liverpool.[8]
HLF also supports a wide range of smaller, community-focused schemes. Most of its grants by number are now for small local community activities, for example The Ballet of Change project. 'Young Roots' funds partnerships of heritage and youth organisations to help young people shape and deliver their own projects.
Although HLF is branded as though it a body in its own right, it is actually administered by a pre-existing non-departmental public body - the Board of Trustees of the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF). The turnover of HLF is considerably larger than the ongoing work of the NHMF (funded from Exchequer grants and endowments). Although HLF is not a government department, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport issues financial and policy directions to the organisation, which reports to Parliament through the Department.
HLF decisions about policies and large applications are made by the Trustees of the NHMF. There are also decision-making committees in the English regions, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Head office is in London, with separate offices in nine English regions, and in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

I expect weekly Trout fishing reports from you from April thru October!
at the draft party a couple of years ago, and under a considerable haze, i heard Birdman yell out the following (about 4 or 5 times, i think) - "don't marry yourselves to players!" he went on to reiterate that idea more than once on the boards, and i believe it to be absolutely sage.
Right now the trout are on point been hitting most of the creeks south of bigpine and have had great numbers. (all catch and release). Went to diaz lake south of Lone Pine yesterday and nailed over 30 fish. Orange power bait is working well but the good ol worn and a marshmellow are just as good. The Bass are still timid and weather is starting to warm up so I am hoping in the next week or so the bass bite will come alive. Should be a good northen opener for the lakes are all ice free and have been for weeks. Look to hit Crowley if I mat suggest for the best eatting trout are in that lake and you will not catch anythig that is 2 pounds or less. I have always nailed 3 plus pounders there.
R U Hot?
define hot
man, i used to fish with my pops up in june lake/mammoth/bishop/lone pine area when i was younger. i never caught a goldie, but a few german brown in rush creek!
rush creek nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have you heard if the virginias and or twins are ice free yet?

This article appears to be written like an advertisement. (November 2013) |
SoundFont is a brand name that collectively refers to a file format and associated technology designed to bridge the gap between recorded and synthesized audio, especially for the purposes of computer music composition. SoundFont technology is an implementation of sample-based synthesis, first used on the Sound Blaster AWE32 sound card for its General MIDI support, and is still supported on current Sound Blaster products. See also Gravis Ultrasound.
The original SoundFont file format was developed in the early 1990s by E-mu Systems and Creative Labs. A specification for this version was never released to the public. The first and only major device to utilize this version was Creative's Sound Blaster AWE32 in 1994. Files in this format conventionally have the file extension of .SBK.
SoundFont 2.0 was developed in 1996. This file format generalized the data representation using perceptually additive real world units, redefined some of the instrument layering features within the format, added true stereo sample support and removed some obscure features of the first version whose behavior was difficult to specify. This version was fully disclosed as a public specification, with the goal of making the SoundFont format an industry standard. All SoundFont 1.0 compatible devices were updated to support the SoundFont 2.0 format shortly after it was released to the public, and consequently the 1.0 version became obsolete. Files in this and all other 2.x formats (see below) conventionally have the file extension of SF2.
Version 2.1 of the SoundFont file format was introduced in 1998 with an E-mu sound card product called the Audio Production Studio. The 2.1 version added features allowing sound designers to configure the way MIDI controllers influence synthesizer parameters. The 2.1 format is bidirectionally compatible with 2.0, which means that synthesizers capable of rendering 2.1 format will also by definition render 2.0 format, and synthesizers that are only capable of rendering 2.0 format will also read and render 2.1 format, but just not apply the new features.
SoundFont 2.4 (there never was a 2.2 or a 2.3 version) was introduced in 2005 with the Sound Blaster X-Fi. The 2.4 format added support for 24-bit samples. The 2.4 format is bidirectionally compatible with the 2.1 format, so synthesizers that are only capable of rendering 2.0 or 2.1 format would automatically render instruments using 24-bit samples at 16-bit precision.
SoundFont is a registered trademark of E-mu Systems, Inc., and the exclusive license for re-formatting and managing historical SoundFont content has been acquired by Digital Sound Factory.[1]
Sample-playback-based MIDI synthesizers use wavetables to define the base samples that are used to render their MIDI files. MIDI files in themselves don't contain any sounds, rather they contain only instructions to render them, and consequently rely on the wavetables to render such sounds correctly. SoundFont-compatible synthesizers allow users to use SoundFont banks to augment these wavetables with custom samples to render their music.
A SoundFont bank contains base samples in PCM format (similar to WAV files) that are mapped to sections on a musical keyboard. A SoundFont bank also contains other music synthesis parameters such as loops, vibrato effect, and velocity sensitive volume changing.
1-minute song, MIDI played through SoundFonts
Problems playing this file? See media help. |
SoundFont banks can conform to standard sound sets such as General MIDI, or use other wholly custom sound-set definitions.
SoundFont creation software (.sf2 format)[edit]
Several .sf2 editors are available:
- Vienna from Creative Labs, requiring a particular sound card (such as Sound Blaster),
- Viena[2] (with a single "n"), created in 2002,
- Swami[3] is a collection of free software for editing and managing musical instruments for MIDI music composition, used mainly under Linux,
- Polyphone,[4] free editor for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux created in 2013.

� For a couple who grew up on farms, what better way to get engaged than this: a proposal spelled out in a field?
That's how Jacob Saathoff popped the question to McKenzie McAuliffe. On Dec. 31, he drove her to a Johnson County hill in southeast Nebraska and asked her to look below.
She was amazed to see the words spelled out in cornstalk bales: "MARRY ME?"
They sat in his warm pickup truck because it was cold outside, so it wasn't convenient for him to drop to one knee. But he presented a ring and she happily said yes.
The proposal and the work that went into it was spectacular enough, but Jake wanted more of a keepsake. So he hired aerial photographer Doug Prange of Lincoln to fly over the field on Tuesday to preserve the image.
"I figured this was a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing," Jake said, "and the cost was reasonable, $200. I just thought it was something she would cherish."
Engineering the proposal wasn't easy — Jake estimated that each of the 133 round bales weighed 1,400 pounds and stood 6 feet tall. He enlisted high school senior Kale Heusman to help him move the bales into place with a hydraulic loader.
The field is owned by Jake's brother, Andy, who stood on the nearby hill and phoned to say whether the letters were straight.
Jake and Mac have dated for seven years but have known each other most of their lives. They graduated a year apart from Sterling High School, where both played multiple sports and Jake was on the 2009 Class D-2 state championship basketball team.
He studied agriculture at Southeast Community College in Beatrice, and she graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She now is in nursing school at Creighton University in Omaha.
A wedding is planned for May 2015, when the couple who got engaged with the help of bales in a field will promise in front of friends and family never to bail on each other.
� Omaha continued its run of top 10 national rankings this week with a No. 7 slot among "Best Cities for Job Seekers."
The Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, which tracks such ratings, said this one comes from NerdWallet.com. The ranking is based on unemployment rate, population growth, median income and housing costs.
Omaha's unemployment rate of 3.6 percent was the lowest among the top 10.
Austin, Texas, was rated first overall, followed by Washington, D.C.; Fort Worth, Texas; Denver; and Charlotte and Raleigh in North Carolina. Behind Omaha were Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, San Antonio and Atlanta.
� Cornhusker football players of the 1960s and '70s would report to the equipment room daily and pick up their "Gibber Grays."
That's what they called the gray shorts and T-shirts they wore for weightlifting or winter conditioning. They also wore them under their practice or game uniforms.
The term came from the name of the equipment manager who passed them out, all neatly folded and wrapped in a towel. Gilbert "Gib" Babcock was a beloved fixture who retired in 1977.
He died on New Year's Day at the Valley View Living Center in Ord, Neb., just after the current Huskers defeated Georgia. He was 100.
OWH Columnists |
Columnists Michael Kelly, Erin Grace and Matthew Hansen write about people, places and events around Omaha. Read more of their work here. |
Ex-Huskers George Mills and Rik Bonness, who played in the '70s, told me this week that everyone who played in their era has fond memories of Gibber.
"He was proud of Nebraska football and his athletes," Rik said. "He took care of us on and off the field. If your chin strap broke during a game, nobody was more important in the moment than Gib."
He ran a tight ship. If you left your sweaty grays on the locker room floor, your next trip to the pickup window would not be pleasant.
Years earlier, Gib and his family had suffered a tragedy shared by the nation. His son, Lt. Ronald Babcock, a 1960 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, died in the 1963 sinking of the USS Thresher.
On a training exercise in the Atlantic Ocean 200 miles off New England, the nuclear submarine failed on a deep dive and then imploded.
� Two Omaha couples recently sailed on a holiday cruise in the Caribbean and were pleased when a singer was introduced onstage as having come "all the way from Nebraska."
The couples are Rich and Fran Juro and Nate and Hannah Schwalb. They invited the singer, Erin Jean Whitney, to join them for dinner.
Erin grew up in Aurora, Neb., graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan and earned a master's degree in theater from Florida State-Sarasota. She spent a year in Omaha and performed at the Omaha Community Playhouse.
Another coincidence is that Rich is volunteer chairman for development at the Playhouse, where the development director is Erin's friend, Lizzy Rasmussen Gilbert.
Said Rich: "Everyone is planning to get together the next time Erin returns to her home state."

Website | Official Website |
The American Heart Association (AHA) is a non-profit organization in the United States that fosters appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke. It is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is: "Building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke." Its motto is "Learn and Live".
Ralph L. Sacco, MD, MS, FAAN, FAHA, is the current President of the American Heart Association. He is the first neurologist to hold the position.
The American Heart Association publishes a standard for providing basic and advanced life support, including standards for proper performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The AHA offers the most widely accepted certification for basic life support (BLS). The AHA is now also a provider of training for first aid, in addition to CPR. The AHA also operates an affiliated organization, the American Stroke Association, which focuses on
History and Reputation[edit]
In 1994, the Chronicle of Philanthropy, an industry publication, released the results of the largest study of charitable and non-profit organization popularity and credibility. The study showed that the American Heart Association was ranked as the 5th "most popular charity/non-profit in America" of over 100 charities researched with 95% of Americans over the age of 12 choosing Love and Like A lot for the American Heart Association.[1]
Recent Events and Activities[edit]
On October 28, 2009 The American Heart Association and the Ad Council launched a Hands Only CPR PSA and website.[2]
On November 30, 2009, The American Heart Association announced a new cardiac arrest awareness campaign called Be the Beat.[3] The campaign's aim is to help create the next generation of lifesavers by teaching 12- to 15-year-olds fun ways to learn the basics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and how to use an automated external defibrillator. The official site, BetheBeat.heart.org, contains interactive games, quizzes, and a playlist of 100-beat-per-minute songs, as well as a section for teachers and administrators who want to incorporate CPR and AED educational information into their schools.
In May 2010, the AHA endorsed the Nintendo Wii Console to encourage everyone to get involved in a level of fitness that would develop healthiness. The AHA Heart Icon is featured on the box of the console as well as on the Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort titles.
In July 2011, new content was added to the website including a digital app that helps a user learn how to perform Hands-Only CPR.[4]
It also carried out a campaign in 2012 to educate more people on how to carry out Hands-Only CPR.[5][6][7] The 2012 campaign, which began in New York, had Jennifer Coolidge as the celebrity spokesperson.[8]
Various affiliates around the country hold annual fundraising events, such as Go Red for Women, Heart Ball and Heart Walk.
In 2012, singer-songwriter and actress Michelle Williams became an ambassador for the Power to End Stroke campaign. In speaking of her role she said "I am honored to partner with the campaign [...] My father had a stroke in 2005 due to smoking, diabetes and an unhealthy diet, and my grandmother was diagnosed with having a stroke in 2006 when she went to her doctor for a simple outpatient procedure. I am bringing awareness to people so that strokes can be prevented. Let's take care of ourselves…the first step is knowledge about your health."[9]
In 2014, the American Heart Association issued its first guidelines for preventing strokes in women. [10]

I have a couple playlists on my Ipod filled with Latin Jazz, Boogaloo, Bossa Nova, other dance forms but mostly stuff in jazz scales. There are some trendy reissue labels out there like Numero Group, Light in the Attic, Soundway, or Analog Africa that make a small industry out of re-releasing old records from tiny scenes for the collector nerds. When you put them together its a ton of older weird records that were only getting released in one part or one tiny country. Its all about stuff like Yemeni jazz recorded in Isreal in the seventies:

It was my seventeenth birthday. I missed school that day, and my friend drove me to the hospital. I was admitted and put into a ward with other young ladies who were waiting for their abortions. Later, I was wheeled into the operating room and put under general anesthetic. I woke up bleeding, in pain, nauseated, and had a very large tell-tale bruise where the IV had been. Late that afternoon I was released. My friend picked me up to drive me home. We arrived at my home to my seventeenth birthday party. My whole family was there. I hid my hand to avoid any questions about the bruise. No one knew that night, as they celebrated the day I was born that I had taken the life of my first child. http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/testimonies/testimony5093.htm

Why Us?
Alisha Deluty Having lived in New York City for my entire life, I have always been somewhat immune to the masses of garbage and pollution that exist. Just looking outside my window here on the Upper West Side in Manhattan, I see the large black garbage bags that line the streets. This, as well as the polluted air, which I have become used to breathing, harms the environment. But why should we, as Jewish college students, be so concerned with the protection of the earth? If we look at the creation story in Bereishit, we see from the very beginning that after God creates human beings, God tells the man and woman that they are the ones who must take care of everything that God has just created. God says in Bereishit 1:28:
פרו ורבו ומלאו את-הארץ וכבשה ורדו בדגת הים ובעוף השמים ובכל-חיה
הרמשת על-הארץ
The JPS translation of the Bible suggests that the man and woman and their descendants must "master" all of God's creations, including the fish, the birds and the other animals on the earth. This implies that the descendants of this man and woman, including us, control all of the other creatures on the earth. But we must ensure that this power is not taken for granted and that we do not destroy other living beings. As it says in Kohelet 1:4, "One generation goes, another comes, but the earth remains the same forever." However, our earth will only be able to exist if we take care of it now. As we approach Tu B'Shvat in a couple of days, we celebrate the new fruits and flowers that have blossomed from the trees. We rejoice in these acts of nature because the growth of these fruits symbolizes life on earth in general. It is thus our responsibility, as we learn in Bereishit and Kohelet, and we are now reminded of as we approach Tu B'Shvat, to protect the earth and all of the living creatures -- whether animals, trees, or plants -- that live on it. We must take efforts to recycle and not to litter. We must turn off lights, water and car engines when we are not using them, even during these dark and cold winter days. If we, as Jewish college students, start by engaging in these simple activities, then we will be helping, even in a small way, to take care of the earth. [Posted 1/8/08] |

Born on December 3, 1965, in Karl-Marx-Stadt, East Germany, Katarina Witt became a figure-skating champion and a symbol of her country's regime during the Cold War. From 1983-88, she won six European Championships, four World Championships and two Olympic gold medals. Witt went on to tour professionally, make a famous appearance in Playboy and immerse herself in other entertainment ventures.
"I proved I didn't win just because I was pretty. I was good, too."
Early Years and Development
Katarina Witt was born on December 3, 1965, in Karl-Marx-Stadt, East Germany. She started skating as a 5-year-old and was soon enrolled in the intensive program at the Karl-Marx-Stadt Sports Club and School. At age 9, she began training with renowned East German skating instructor Jutta Müller, who taught her young protégée how to infuse her performances with her charming personality.
Competitive Career
Witt won her first major competition at the 1981 East German National Championship. She claimed silver in both the European and the World Figure Skating Championships the following year, and in 1983 she won the European Championship for the first of a record-tying six consecutive times.
Witt vaulted into the international spotlight when she beat favored American champion Rosalynn Sumners by one-hundredth of a point to win the gold medal in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. She dominated the sport over the next half-decade, combining her technical skills with a dazzling flair for showmanship that enthralled judges and audience members. Her success and striking looks earned her recognition as "the most beautiful face of socialism," though her fame also drew increased scrutiny from the Stasi, East Germany's secret police.
Along with her streak of European Championship wins, Witt won four World Championships from 1984-88, losing only to American Debi Thomas in 1986. At the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Witt and Thomas both famously choreographed their long routines to Georges Bizet's opera Carmen, but Witt outlasted her rival to become the first woman to win consecutive Olympic gold medals in singles figure skating since Norway's Sonja Henie in 1936.
Witt retired from competitive amateur skating after winning her final World Championship in 1988, but she returned to qualify for the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway. Her free-skate routine was a memorable tribute to war-torn Sarajevo, the site of her 1984 Olympic debut, though she finished seventh in the overall competition.
Professional Pursuits
The crumbling of the East German socialist regime in the late 1980s freed Witt to pursue all sorts of professional interests. She starred with men's Olympic medalists Brian Boitano and Brian Orser in the 1990 HBO telefilm Carmen on Ice, which won a Primetime Emmy Award for the trio that September. Witt and Boitano also teamed up for a three-year run of Witt and Boitano Skating, an exhibition that drew a rare sellout crowd for an ice show at Madison Square Garden.
In 1995, Witt founded the WITH WITT Sports & Entertainment GmbH production company with business partner Elisabeth Gottmann.

The first thing you need to find out is what format camera will work best for your needs. There are basically 4 different camera formats: Point and Shoot; SLR; Medium and Large Format, and Digital. Let's take a look at each.
Point and Shoot The simplest cameras allow you to literally point the camera in the direction you are looking and push a button to shoot the picture.
These cameras are usually best suited for people who want to take pictures only occasionally. For photos of family parties, snapshots from vacations, etc. - taken with the simplest, most compact, and most foolproof camera, this is the way to go. Professionals often carry a point and shoot as a backup to their SLR or medium format camera.
There are generally very few options or controls to worry about. There is no need to manually focus, no need to make aperture and shutter speed settings, and nothing to attach. Usually, the flash will just go off automatically when the camera thinks it needs a little extra light. Point and shoot users can usually get by without ever having to open the owner's manual. These are also great for those who consider themselves technically challenged.
With all of the artistic decisions being made by the camera, point and shoots are often not the best for those interested in learning how to make creative, artistic statements. The better point and shoots offer the ability to select special modes, force the flash to go off (or not to go off, as the case may be), and utilize high quality lenses to capture much sharper, more pleasing photos.
Many point and shoots have a built-in zoom lens that will allow you to get a little closer to the subject. Even though point and shoots with zooms cost more, they are worth it; the ability to recompose your photo on the fly and fill the frame with your subject will make up for the extra cost.
Near the top of the back of these cameras lies a small window - the viewfinder - which you look through to get a rough idea of your potential photo. You do not look though the lens itself so, as you get closer to a subject, you see a slightly different area through the viewfinder than the camera sees through the lens. This often causes people to be surprised - when they get their prints back from the lab - to find that the subject of their picture is slightly off-center.
Most of these cameras use 35mm film. Very easy to find, 35mm is by far the most popular size of film available today. You can find it in almost every supermarket or convenience store.
Some use APS film (which stands for Advanced Photo System film). One added benefit to this type of point and shoot camera is that it is virtually impossible to load the film wrong. The canister that the film comes in has a slightly irregular shape which makes it possible to only fit in the camera one particular way.
Some expensive point and shoots do allow you to control aperture, shutter speed, focus, and lighting options; these are more the exception than the rule. These more expensive point and shoot cameras are popular with photographers who shoot often, need high quality, and like the simplicity and compactness of point and shoots. A good example of such a photographer might be one trying to inconspicuously get candid photos on people in the city, on a subway, etc.
SLR This is by far the most popular camera among serious photographers. While point and shoots have the general consumer market share (because everybody can take pictures with a point and shoot), SLRs are a favorite of wildlife and nature photographers, photojournalists, sports photographers, and more. You will even see them being used more and more in weddings and portraiture - two areas previously dominated by the medium format camera.
SLR stands for 'Single Lens Reflex.' This simply means that instead of looking through a separate window as your viewfinder, as you do with point and shoot cameras, you actually look through the lens of the camera itself. For this reason, what you see in a SLR viewfinder is much closer to what you actually get than what you might see in a point and shoot viewfinder.
This camera is best for people who want more from their photos and who can handle a bit of technical complexity. If you want to control focus so that you select which parts of the picture are in focus and which parts are blurry, this is the camera for you. Many students use SLRs to learn how aperture and shutter speed are controlled to determine exposure. You can do things like:
You can also change lenses on an SLR to get different effects. For example, you can:
You also have different options with flash, timers, multiple-exposure, studio set-ups, fast motor drives... the choices are many.
Although SLRs take a bit more hands-on work to load the film, it is still not difficult. If you can figure out how to set your VCR timer (even if you never have actually set it), you will have no problem working with an SLR. The SLR can furthermore be set on an easy, basic program mode while you learn to make more challenging photographs. This way, your early photo shoots won't all be frustrating experiences; you can come home with satisfying pictures, learning and mastering advanced features as you go.
You can shoot quickly with an SLR, making it ideal for wildlife and sports photographers. Most of the time, you can successfully shoot while hand-holding the camera, although a tripod often helps get the best pictures.
SLRs are fantastic cameras and very appropriate for people who want to learn more about the artistic side of photography or try to start making a little bit of money through their photographic endeavors. Most professional photographers use this sort of camera because it so successfully balances versatility and general ease of use.
Medium and Large Format These cameras appeal to those who want to have even more artistic flexibility and greater clarity in big enlargements. They are a bit more challenging to use. If SLRs are for people who can set their VCR clock, medium and large format cameras are for those who actually do set their clock.
Medium format cameras use much larger size film than 35mm SLRs and point and shoots. The larger size films appeal to people who want to be able to have their photographs enlarged 8" x 10" and larger. With this bigger film format, photographers can make bigger enlargements with a tight grain and satisfying clarity of detail.
With artistic flexibility and larger film size comes a more challenging complexity and higher sticker price. More expensive than the other choices, these cameras also require more patience and persistence in learning how to take good photos with them. The controls and film loading are generally manual, so you have to be willing to work harder and take longer to set up the camera. While some (much more expensive) options recently introduced to the market handle autofocus, most are manual.
If you find medium format challenging, large format photography will knock the wind out of your lungs. Large format photographers often take a half hour or more just to set up one shot! These cameras are big boxes, usually on wooden tripods; these photographers are the ones under the black cloth as the make the exposure. There are two main varieties: 4" x 5" and 8" x 10", each corresponding to the size of the film used.
So why do people bother with these cameras? They can take amazing photos. The color, sharpness, and ability to capture light and detail is wonderful. When you see those huge photographs by professional photographers in the art galleries, they are often shot with large or medium format cameras.
Digital The latest and greatest in camera technology is the digital camera. With these cameras you'll never have to worry about film again.
Instead of using film, these cameras hold the pictures in computer memory - either in a little, removable card or hard-wired into the camera itself. As soon as you take the picture, you can transfer photos right onto your computer where you can email it, post it to a Web site, or print it off on your computer printer.
Most digital cameras are similar to point and shoot cameras. You look through a separate viewfinder to compose your subject; you use one lens - whether it be a fixed lens or a zoom lens; and most models have an automatic, built-in flash.
Along these lines, digital cameras are about as easy to operate as a point and shoot. It helps, of course, to read the owner's manual to use the camera to it's full potential. The main differences between operating a 35mm point and shoot and operating a digital camera have to do with high-tech issues such as resolution, file formats, transfer rates, etc. People who are not afraid of their computers are usually thrilled with digital cameras.
Digital cameras often have a lot of handy options, such as a small screen in the camera to view the picture you've just taken. As you are shooting, you get immediate feedback, knowing right away if the picture did not turn out. As you are photographing portraits, for example, you can share your photos with the people in them and erase poor photos with the push of a button.
Another big advantage is not having to take film into a lab. Not having to scan in photographs or film can be even more attractive. If you know you want to share your photos online - either in email or on the Web - digital cameras can be extremely convenient.
The two most common complaints about this type of camera are:
More expensive digital cameras (in the $5000 - $30000 price range) combine the cool features of digital imaging with SLR camera body types, allowing you to change lenses, take pictures quickly, and use sophisticated external lighting set-ups.
Price Range Once you've picked the camera format that sounds most appealing to you, the next step is to look at price range. Ask yourself what you feel comfortable spending.
Buying a camera can be compared to buying a musical instrument or a computer. You can invest in a top of the line model and have it for the rest of your life or buy a student grade model, knowing that you won't be out much if you decide to upgrade. You may also find it beneficial to look for last year's hottest model, instead of overspending on this year's top camera. Digital may be the exception to this rule; since these cameras are growing so quickly, you may want to get the latest and greatest, even if it costs a bit more. In any case, save up and get what you really want; go for the highest quality you can afford.
Point and shoot cameras range from less than $100 to $1000 or more, the most common models being about $150-$300. The difference is usually in the quality of materials in both the body and the lens; the high-end point and shoot will have a better quality lens and generally take a sharper image. Some will offer manual controls, a very handy feature for photographic artists.
SLR cameras - as a kit with one lens - range in price from about $400 to over $3000. For a professional SLR camera with a variety of lenses, several thousand dollars can be easily spent.
A set of many lenses is what can put an SLR package way up in cost. One basic rule to live by when buying multiple lenses: pick only two or three to start. While the highest quality lenses (always the most expensive) do make a huge difference, it may not be necessary to buy the most expensive lenses if you are beginner just starting out. Start simple and get to know what size lenses you like to work with. You may find that 90% of your work is macro - therefore a macro lens would be more appropriate for your shooting preferences than a super telephoto. You can always graduate to the next level after you master the art of making a good photo with one lens.
Medium and large format cameras generally start at around $2000 for just the body and go up from there. While a used medium format package - a camera body with one lens and one film back - might cost about $1000, a new autofocus medium format package could easily set you back $5500 or more.
Decent digital cameras start around $500. You can get cheaper models for $100-$300 but these usually produce poor results and lack many features. SLR-style digital cameras cost $5000 and up.
Brand and Model Once you've picked a format and you know your price range, the next step is to choose a brand and model of camera. Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Minolta, Kodak... all have good reputations. Ask for personal recommendations from friends and family.
Go to the camera store and ask to try various models out. Don't depend on the salesperson's opinion unless you've had experience with them and trust them.
Instead, take the camera for a test drive. Pick it up and feel its weight. Do you like how heavy or light it is and how it feels in your hands? Fiddle with the buttons and attachments. Are they easy to read and move?
Before purchasing, see if there is a pro camera shop in your area that rents the camera so you can shoot with it for a weekend. A roll or two of film is a small price to pay for knowing first-hand if you like how it works. Far too many people buy a camera flippantly only to put it in a drawer after a few frustrating experiences. By trying it out ahead of time, you won't be surprised by things you don't like about it.
We'd love to hear your comments on your favorite cameras and experiences buying the best camera. To share your impressions on particular models, go to the BetterPhoto Reviews section, find your camera, and write your review. Good luck, and happy camera buying!

Alfred A. Knopf
Parent company | Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group (Random House) |
Founded | 1915 |
Founder | Alfred A. Knopf, Sr. |
Country of origin | United States |
Headquarters location | New York, New York |
Official website | knopf.knopfdoubleday.com |
Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. is a New York publishing house, founded by Alfred A. Knopf, Sr. in 1915. It was acquired by Random House in 1960 and is now part of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group at Random House,[1] which has been owned since 1998 by the German private media corporation Bertelsmann. The publishing house is known for its borzoi colophon (shown at right), which was designed by co-founder Blanche Knopf. Many of its hardcover books later appear as Vintage paperbacks. Vintage is a sister imprint under the Knopf Publishing Group. In late 2008 and early 2009, the Knopf Publishing Group merged with the Doubleday Publishing Group to form the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.[2]
Knopf was founded in 1915 and officially incorporated in 1918, with Alfred Knopf as president, Blanche Knopf as vice-president, and Samuel Knopf as treasurer. Blanche and Alfred traveled abroad regularly and were known for publishing European, Asian, and Latin American writers in addition to leading American literary trends. Samuel Knopf died in 1932. William A. Koshland joined the company in 1934, and worked with the firm for more than fifty years, rising to take the positions of President and Chairman of the Board. Blanche became President in 1957 when Alfred became Chairman of the Board, and worked steadily for the firm until her death in 1966. Alfred Knopf retired in 1972, becoming chairman emeritus of the firm until his death in 1984. Alfred Knopf also had a summer home in Purchase, NY.
In 1923 Knopf also started publishing periodicals, beginning with The American Mercury, founded by H. L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan, which it published through 1934. Knopf also produced a quarterly, The Borzoi Quarterly, for the purpose of promoting new books.
Blanche Knopf visited South America in 1942, so the firm could start producing texts from there. She was one of the first publishers to visit Europe after World War II. Her trips, and those of other editors, brought in new talent from Europe, South America, and Asia. Alfred traveled to Brazil in 1961, which spurred a corresponding interest on his part in South America. Their son, Alfred "Pat" Jr. was hired on as secretary and trade books manager after the war. Other influential editors at Knopf included Harold Strauss (Japanese literature), Herbert Weinstock (biography of musical jargon composers), Judith Jones (culinary texts), as well as Angus Cameron, Charles Elliott, Gary Fisketjon, Lee Goerner, Robert Gottlieb, Ashbel Green, Carol Brown Janeway, Michael Magzis, Anne McCormick, Nancy Nicholas, Daniel Okrent, Regina Ryan, Sophie Wilkins, and Vicky Wilson. Knopf also employed literary scouts to good advantage.[3]
A publisher of hardcover fiction and nonfiction, Knopf's list of authors includes John Banville, Carl Bernstein, Willa Cather, Julia Child, Bill Clinton, Joan Didion, Bret Easton Ellis, James Ellroy, Lee H. Hamilton, Kazuo Ishiguro, John Keegan, Nella Larsen, Jack London, Gabriel García Márquez, Cormac McCarthy, Toni Morrison, Haruki Murakami, Christopher Paolini, Ezra Pound, Dorothy Richardson, Susan Swan, Anne Tyler, Andrew Vachss, James D. Watson, and Elinor Wylie. At least 17 Nobel Prize and 47 Pulitzer Prize winning authors have been published by Knopf, though they have also passed at times on subsequently notable books.[4]
Since its founding, Knopf has paid close attention to design and typography,[5] employing notable designers and typographers including William Addison Dwiggins, Harry Ford, Steven Heller, Chip Kidd, Lorraine Louie, Bruce Rogers, Rudolf Ruzicka, and Beatrice Warde.
Knopf published textbooks until 1988, when Random House's schools and colleges division was sold to McGraw-Hill.[6]
In 1991, Knopf revived the "Everyman's Library" series, originally published in England in the early 20th century. This series consists of classics of world literature in affordable hardcover editions. The series has grown over the years to include lines of Children's Classics and Pocket Poets.

Revision as of 22:09, 13 December 2013
On this page you will find information regarding DVB-T2 USB devices.
- The information contained here is likely non-exhaustive and, despite best efforts to do otherwise, may contain errors. (Please help to keep these lists up-to-date so that they are useful for everyone!)
- If your device is not listed, try:
- searching the existing mailing list archives:
- searching for information with Google or other internet search engine
- by posting a question about the device directly to the LMML (but please do conduct a search first, as it may already have been discussed!)
- Note: when it comes to support, it is generally a good idea to try the current V4L-DVB sources because some device drivers can be very new and thus may have not made their way into the mainstream kernel.
- In any regard, in respect to the above listed suggestions, you may find it to be the case that your device is actually already supported or that experimental support is available.
- Because the component constitution on many devices are often similar or identical, there may be devices that are unlisted but may actually work with the existing driver framework for previously supported devices. In such a case, your non-listed but working device will likely be reported in your system messages as being one of those previously supported devices. If you encounter such an occurrence, please do report your success on the LMML so that proper detection/identification of your device can be added within the drivers.
- Lastly, it bears worth repeating the request: Please help to keep these lists up-to-date so that they are useful for everyone!

However, please note that inquiries to the mailing list:
- should NOT be treated as an order drop-off line/queue. You're soliciting help from volunteer developers who work on V4L-DVB matters in their spare time, and such work can be non-trivial (i.e. requiring even _thousands_ of hours work). So being demanding is one sure route to being ignored. (Honestly, this point really shouldn't even need to be written, but you'd be surprised at the number of irrational individuals who write into the mailing list demanding this or that).
- may pass without even garnering a response -- that's a distinct by-product of the fact that there are only a limited number of developers, whom might be able to help, that are associated with the project. Often times, even if they wished to help, their energies are entirely tied up with other projects. In such cases, the best path might be to try to spearhead the driver development for your device yourself, or arrange to hire someone who can.
Supported by 3rd Party Drivers
Sometimes a manufacturer forks v4l-dvb all on their own and writes a driver for their device so they can claim Linux support.
In-Kernel Drivers
1. You might get well support for your device
2. If the manufacturer provides open source drivers, volunteers are able to provide long term support and submit it to the Linux Kernel.
1. If the manufacturer provides binary modules, or object files you might have to recompile the 3rd party driver every time you update your local kernel version. Compiling might require some additional dependencies (eg. linux source tree, specific toolchain for particular architectures etc. so it might not be so easy to install them everywhere
2. If the manufacturer stops updating the drivers you might loose support for those drivers on newer Linux systems
In case a manufacturer provides open source drivers the patches can be sent to the linux-media mailinglist Linux-Media Mailing List (LMML)
Userspace Drivers
1. Generic over nearly all Linux versions starting from 2.6.15 on
2. No recompilation needed if you update your kernel version
3. Manufacturer might provide well support for the device you bought
4. Drivers can be profiled easily and more accurately than in kernelspace
5. If the driver crashes your system won't be affected
6. If the manufacturer would stop to support the drivers, the application driver will still continue to work with newer Linux systems since the Kernelspace <-> Userspace interfaces are fixed and are not meant to be changed
1. this is only meant for hackers that they won't have insight about what the manufacturer is doing, regular endusers usually won't cope with device driver sources anyway

New York City Mozzarella Bar Introduces Missing Link
Nothing beats sitting down with the fresh mozzarella and pasta fare available at Obika, the midtown Manhattan mozzarella bar. Rather than disrupt your perfect city Saturday by scarfing down the heavily tourist fare available within striking distance of the shop's location on E. 56th Street and Madison Avenue, you can amble into the public atrium at the IBM Building and enjoy bufala at its finest.
The only thing missing has been a great glass of wine to accompany it. Well, the good news is that it won't be a problem anymore.
Anthony Fauci, managing partner of Obika's New York location, told me over the weekend that the restaurant has just received its liquor license, and that the libations are flowing. The offering is so new that the wine menu hasn't even been published on the Obika website yet, though Fauci tells me to expect options from Campagnia, Veneto,Tuscany and Puglia, not to mention "a few surprises." For now, the only way to find out is to head over and order a glass with your dish. I'm hoping to get there within the next few days.

Comments about DiMarzio 2" Basic Italian Leather Urban Decay Guitar Strap:
This is certainly a well-made strap of thick leather. It is difficult to use because the inner surface is very smooth and slick, causing it to shift position on your shoulder. It is disconcerting to have to constantly adjust your guitar while playing. Also, the distressed feature looks more like a pattern than actual wear. In spite of all this, it would be hard to find a strap of better quality.

64GB Samsung 830 Series 2.5" SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive SSD (MZ-7PC064B/WW) $80 + Free Shipping
Very good drive but I have to admit I sent back all my 64GB M4's from Staples , because they din't have enough space and not just that but the price drop on the bigger SSD's had me reconsider
In order for a muscle to grow, strength to be gained, performance to increase, , the human body must be forced to adapt to a tension that is above and beyond what it has previously experienced.
I love my 64gb 830. I have it as a cache drive with intel's SRT to my primary 500gb drive. Boot times are insanely fast now (~15-20 secs) and my usually played games also fly through load times. At the time of purchase larger SSDs were out of my price range, but this inexpensive upgrade has given my system a solid noticeable speed boost.
btw great SSD, and a good price for anyone who doesnt want to wait. Repped Last edited by Swolern; 04-18-2012 at 02:47 AM.. Don't forget tha REPS!
This drive specs:
Max Sequential ReadUp to 520 MB/s Max Sequential WriteUp to 160 MB/s 4KB Random ReadUp to 75,000 IOPS 4KB Random WriteUp to 16,000 IOPS I would spend the extra $30 for a drive with 3x the write speeds and 2x the capacity and 4x the IOPS for writing at least.

I have been wanting to get into the SSD. I have not had much time to research them. I thought I read somewhere that SSD's are not good if you are always installing stuff and erasing stuff. something with fragmentation, there is no defrag on SSD's. I download lots of blueprints, review them and erase them on a weekly basis.

This product strongly reminds me of the good ol' pre-ban ephedra days. I have been taking it on an empty stomach 1st thing in the morning pre-workout and it definitely powers me through. I haven't had a crash yet and the energy clearly carries through until late morning.
The appetite suppressant effect might be a little too good. My hunger is being kept at bay very well--even on reduced-calories for cutting! Needless to say, this is a plus found in Super HD that has been hard for me to find in other products.
I also am very appreciative of the diuretic effect in this product. After less than a week, I have noticed increased vascularity in my arms and added definition in my quads I'm realistically hoping to get rid of my love handles by the end of this bottle!
Many thanks to Mike and Gerge for this review opportunity and many thanks to Cellucor for making such a quality product!

BROCTON - A woman who nearly struck a police vehicle was charged Saturday with aggravated drunken driving.
