'What on earth?' - ten foot snowman dazzles neighbours in Apple Grove in Enfield Town
12:20pm Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in News By Hermione Wright
It's snow joke, this snowman could well be the tallest in London.
Friends and spouses ditched watching Dancing on Ice on Sunday and spent three hours building the magnificent beast in Apple Grove in Enfield Town.
The overgrown snowman, which is at least ten feet high, has caused a stir in the neigbourhood and passers-by are saying they have never seen anything like it.
Hollie Brock knew their hard work had paid off, but a van driver made her day when he pulled up in front of the house yesterday to say he has not seen a taller snowman anywhere in London.
Ms Brock, 25, said: "It was quite a challenge, but we thought 'we have nothing to do' so we thought 'let's just see how tall we can make it.'
"We have had a few people looking up and going 'what on earth?'"
In the dark, they collected snow from across the street to make sure the snowman stood out from the crowd.
Once finished, Caroline Regan rummaged through the bin to pick out colourful bottle tops for its eyes and button holes to make sure the snowman dazzled its fans.
This may not be the last we hear from the adventurous group, as they say if snow falls again tomorrow and Friday, as predicted, they may come up with another novel snow statue.
The impressive snowman is still standing its ground two days after it was built, although it has sadly started to tip.

Value Proposition
Demonstrated Success.
Augustana is priced, on average, $10,928 lower than a representative group of selective colleges in the Upper Midwest with whom we overlap in applications for first-year student admission (identified in the above graph). Among these colleges and universities that claim similar outcomes relative to graduate and professional school admission and job placement, Augustana provides exceptional academic quality and the best value.
2013 Augustana graduates with federal loans carry average indebtedness of $25,750.
See the claims we make and the evidence to support them.
Explore. Discover. Create. Go Viking.
At Augustana, we believe certain individuals are called to "Go Viking."
It's an idea that means much more than the age-old notion of sailing off in search of trade and plunder. To "Go Viking" means to be venturesome ... to explore, discover, create, and pursue bold concepts and important endeavors today in order to make tomorrow even better. The Augustana Vikings have been, and will always be, those who aspire for more than the ordinary; those who are committed to making our world a better place through their scholarly work, creative expression and service to church and community.
National Rankings Recognize Augustana
Augustana is ranked the No. 11 baccalaureate college in the nation, according to a recent report from Washington Monthly. The publication's "2013 Baccalaureate College Ranking" rates 352 baccalaureate institutions according to their contribution to the public good in three areas — social mobility: recruiting and graduating low-income students; research: producing cutting-edge scholars and Ph.D.s; and service: encouraging students to give something back to their country.
Augustana is ranked No. 3 among the "Best Regional Colleges in the Midwest" according to the latest edition of "Best Colleges 2013" by U.S. News Media Group. The College also received high rankings in the report's analysis of schools that offer students the best value. Among the regional colleges listed in the "Best Value Schools" study, Augustana is ranked No. 2 in the Midwest.
The Princeton Review continues to include Augustana in its "Best Midwestern College" rankings. And the College was listed among the nation's best colleges and universities in Forbes' annual list of "America's Top Colleges."

BROCKPORT — Friday's SUNY Athletic Conference men's soccer game at The College at Brockport started out perfectly for Plattsburgh State.
Ethan Votraw gave the Cardinals the lead just 8:52 into the contest.
But that would be the only highlight for Plattsburgh, which surrendered the next three goals in a 3-1 loss to the Golden Eagles that hurt the Cardinals' chances of getting an opening-round bye in the conference tournament.
The setback dropped Plattsburgh to 11-4-1 overall and 5-3 in conference play.
"We can still end up in second and get a first-round bye," Plattsburgh coach Chris Waterbury said. "But we have to win on Saturday and have both Cortland and Brockport lose or tie.
"But with what happened in the conference on Friday, we at least clinched a home game in the first round of the conference tournament."
Votraw, who was wide open at the top of the box, got the ball from Alexis Archilla and found the net to give the Cardinals an early advantage.
But with 22:02 gone in the opening half, Peter DiLorenzo answered for the Golden Eagles (9-1-5, 4-1-3) after getting a pass from Chris O'Gorman through the Plattsburgh defense.
"We had a very good first half," Waterbury said. "We played well, generated chances and kept the ball on the ground.
"They had a good goal later in the first half to equalize it when we didn't slide over defensively. We could have defended that better, but I still felt we were the better team in the first half."
It stayed 1-all until 28:11 was gone in the second half. Mark Sylvia scored the game-winning goal off a rebound. Then, with the Cardinals pushing up, O'Gorman added the finishing touch with 2:54 left in regulation.
"It was more of a direct game in the second half," Waterbury said. "The ball was flying in the air more and we struggled with our tempo. Still, we generated chances off scrambles in front of their net.

A wonderful find and an unexpected
oasis among all the hustle and bustle of Beverly Hills. The food was outstanding and the husband/wife chef and hostess team made our evening particularly enjoyable."
Dined on 8/20/2014
Notice the consistent ratings.
That's very unusual in this town. We returned back and were delighted once again. Massimo and Mara are such delights. They make you feel like you are dining in their own home. They are so hospitable and want to make sure you are satisfied. The food is so good. I dream about their specialty pasta with truffle "caviar". The fish is always so fresh and prepared with a tender touch. I'm just shocked that this restaurant isn't exploding with business. For now, it remains a secret date night spot, where me and my husband can have a slow, wonderful meal, and have conversation as the noise level is just enough to allow for a bit of background music."
Dined on 8/15/2014
My husband and I thoroughly
enjoyed our meal. The lovely and hospitable husband and wife team bring a much needed and appreciated authentic Italian restaurant that prides itself on fresh, organic and wild ingredients. NOTHING is frozen, in fact, they don't have a freezer. We will happily keep this place in our rotation."
Dined on 8/12/2014
Took a chance and stopped in for
dinner on a Monday, always the slowest night... and wow. This was one of the best Italian meals I've had in LA. The branzino was superb - haven't had the equal of it since Porto Venere (base of Cinque Terra) a few years ago - grilled to perfection. Everything was wonderful. Panna cotta velvety smooth but somehow convincingly handmade, and the artichoke salad was beautiful - small shavings of artichoke with parmesan and lemon and olive oil, and arugala and a few cherry tomatoes on the side. We will definitely be back!!"
Dined on 8/11/2014
Chose a random Tuesday to try this
spot out and couldn't have been more pleased. The boyfriend and I had a great, quiet and romantic evening made even better by the spectacular food and outstanding service. The veal chop was to die for, melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. We'll definitely be back again."

When in Los Angeles, make a point
of visiting husband and wife duo Massimo Denaro and Mara Sampo. If you think an authentic, beautifully-prepared Italian meal can't be found outside of Milan, Florence or Rome, you'll feel differently after Sfixio. Must haves: Burrate salad, pasta with truffle and caviar in light cream sauce and the gorgeous olive oil with bread."
Dined on 7/25/2014
Our dinner at Sfixio was terrific.
The restaurant is owned by Massimo, from Florence and Mara, from Milan. Mara was warm, welcoming and charming. She handles the dining room as though one is a guest at her dining table in her home. Massimo, the chef is a delightful and very talented chef. He is creative and sensitive in his cooking and the meal not only tastes delicious but is a work of art in presentation. I really like the decor, simple and elegant and very comfortable. We will be back again and again."
Dined on 7/16/2014
An Italian version of the classic
husband in the kitchen, wife in the front, bistro. The food is handmade, light and super flavorful. The veal shank was amazing. The room is a bit stark for my taste, and I'd call it eclectic rather than romantic. Doesn't really matter, though...come for the food."
Dined on 7/15/2014
We went to Sfixio last Saturday
evening. First time for us, a group of 12. Not only was the owner/hostess delightfully friendly and accommodating and the owner/chef a master in the kitchen, but the place itself is beautiful! Modern, edgy decor, completely at home in Weho. The food was absolutely delicious! It's rare to find excellent Italian food. Sfixio delivers! The grilled Branzino was moist and flavorful, not "fussy"! The beef carpaccio was fresh and served the true Italian way. I had the pasta with truffle "caviar" (tiny grains of truffle in a creamy sauce) and my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Epic!!! Everyone on the staff was extremely friendly. Definitly a MUST try if you enjoy perfect Italian food. We'll be back!"
Dined on 7/12/2014
We just returned home from our
fabulous meal at Sfixio - a perfect evening. From a gracious and warm greeting to a lovely send-off, each detail of the evening was delivered with perfection and refined elegance. The setting is relaxing, light and elegant. And as for the food - a truly exquisite set of dishes based exclusively on the freshest ingredients and prepared with true Tuscan touch and precision The ravioli gnudi were to die for and the pasta con Tartuffo was literally out of this world."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Maxwell and Marta are the hosts
par excellence. We are guests in their contemporary Italian dining room designed with primary blacks and whites. The experience begins with Marta's warm and congenial greeting and from there they and their staff take you on the most memorable dining experience for the ages. Marta guides you through the fare, one delicious selection after another, beautifully balanced to your sensibilities and paired from they extensive wine offerings. The result is an incomparable dining journey, an opportunity for one of the most elegant and delicious evenings you won't soon forget. Bravo, bravo to Maxwell and Marta and gratitude from one of your most passionate fans."

I stumbled upon this restaurant on
Open table and this was one of the best "Accidents" I've had! It was my birthday celebration dinner and I was looking for somewhere with a very sexy ambiance with delicious food as well (as I am a foodie). It's very small in the inside however very modern and sexy decor. They could turn up the background music a little bit (I felt like I had to whisper because of how quiet it was) but the the service was great!! The owner's wife is very hands-on and very attentive to our needs. She recommended excellent food choices, (eggplant for appetizer) (Spaghetti Carbonara and Lasagna for entrees) and everything was fresh and hand made! I will be back for more lasagna! Overall, I had a great birthday experience!"

Thank you Mara and chef for
another spectacular evening. I come from San Francisco where there is no Italian restaurant that meets your standards. I hope to come again as soon as possible! Margaret Coyne"

In a city that seemingly has more
Italian restaurants per block than any city in Italy, Sfixio really stands out, and in our opinion is the easily the best amongst them all. The food is truly excellent with fresh made pasta and other ingredients. We will now bypass all the other restaurants and make Sfixio our new regular choice. Further, parking for this restaurant is easy in the ample public parking facility behind the restaurant that is far more convenient than any of the parking for restaurants along Canon."
Dined on 6/21/2014
I always order off the menu- being
Vegan/Macrobiotic. Maximo- the Chef, makes vegan soups that are so wholesome and natural tasting. What I like about the Chef is that he is not rigid - when customers ask for things that are not on the menu. And he is easy to talk to about changes/requests. He even improvised on a salad dressing - now we call this our own special salad dressing that you can't find in any other restaurants. His skills are better than Bel Air, Peninsula, Andaz, Angeles, Shutters, Loews Hotel Restaurant Chefs."
Dined on 6/19/2014
This is the best Italian food I
had in the US, and can easily compete with any restaurant in Italy. The pasta is made fresh daily, the service is incredible, and the restaurant is very cool. I stumbled on this place based on other OpenTable reviews and I will keep going back. The Sfixio people do not appear to be as good at marketing as the Drago brothers, but the food is certainly better."
Dined on 6/7/2014
I've been going to Italian
restaurants all of my life and feel, for the first time, that I've finally been to an authentic Italian restaurant. The owner/chef for the restaurant is from Florence, Italy and it is clear that he doesn't cook like the Americanized Italian restaurants that I've been to in this country. The food is cooked to perfection by hand each and every day and the freshness of everything is evident. (They don't have a freezer on the premises so all food is cooked fresh.) I ate the veal ravioli which was absolutely fantastic, perfectly seasoned and not overly creamy or heavy. I also had the panna cotta for dessert which was fantastic, light and not overly sweet. Do yourself a favor and take a chance like I did."
Dined on 6/5/2014
Now I can see why the reviews are
consistently solid. Food is well prepared and prepared with the heart. Husband (chef) and wife (hostess) do all they can to ensure your enjoyment of the food and hospitality! Their signature dish with the "caviar" truffles is luscious! haven't had a dish like it in LA. We also enjoyed the artichoke salad - tender and the seasoning was well balanced. Plenty of meat and fish options, especially for a restaurant this size. All dishes have spot on Italian flavors and preparations.. not all that garlic like fashionable Italian "eateries". Trust the specials and/or let the host lead the way and you will not be disappointed!"
Dined on 5/23/2014
It was quiet the night we went
which is a shame because the food is wonderful and the owners are talented and friendly. I would go back and recommend this restaurant to anyone. We made a wrong choice in the wine and the owner brought us a new bottle and did not charge for the one I selected. Very nice."
Dined on 5/21/2014
Not sure how to rate this
restaurant. We have both traveled and lived in Europe extensively and I have to say the veal chop I had at Sfixio was fabulous. The most tender I have ever had. But, the ambiance is difficult to describe. Is modern/interesting and understand where they are trying to go with it, but comes across a bit sterile. On the evening we were there, the guests were definitely an older crowd."
Dined on 5/17/2014
What an awesome place!
Contemporary restaurant meets unbelievable italian cuisine. Definitely the best italian experience in Los Angeles. Great food, great service - lovely owners who really care about their customers. Rare find and we're happy we found it!"

We always have a great time
here.We are regulars and we came with friends.They said it was amazing.The food in really fantastic and very different from other Italians that they are stuck with food that you can Honestly cook at home with a lot of canned tomato sauce and chicken dish with tomato sooo tired of americanized food.Here the chef is from Florence with an update cuisine that we love so much.The quality and presentation are unbeatable. the food is not precooked and not frozen.We had a big party for my birthday with a personalized menu.It was so much fun to see my guests dancing too.This place is fabulous for private large party.we had a Dj and it was memorable."
Dined on 4/1/2014
Took a shot on this restaurant
from other Open Table reviews, and was not disappointed. I don't eat in Beverly Hills often and was surprised/excited as soon as I walked in the door as the decor and ambiance are not typical for an Italian restaurant. Very modern and comfortable at the same time. We were greeted by the owner who treated us like old friends even though this was our first time there. The chef is the "hostesses" husband and both hail from Italy. The food is all made fresh that day, and with regards to the pasta, right after it is ordered. This is not an Americanized version of Italian food - no cream sauces and the food was tasty, hot, and light. Really enjoyed food and atmosphere - will be returning."
Dined on 3/29/2014
This place is the best. The owners
(and staff) were very attentive as to the service, food, and overall dining experience. A unique menu with cuisine of the highest echelon, a selective and different set of flavors, and just simply great from the appetizers all the way to the dessert. My fiance, who normally does not go for dessert, could not tear himself away from mine after he tried it. The same goes for our entrees, which we planned to split, but he loved his so much he could not stop and ate all of his and the majority of mine too. He has a bigger stomach so it worked out, but now you see why I got dessert! Normally he is very picky and fancies himself a foodie, and he was truly amazed at the quality as was I. We will be regulars here."
Dined on 3/15/2014
We love Sfixio, what a wonderful
Italian spot and probably the best in Beverly Hills. Everything is exceedingly fresh and the pasta is house made. Mara, the owner/hostess is an absolute doll. Don't miss their tomato soup and Caviar truffle pasta."
Dined on 3/12/2014
We had booked on open table a week
prior and when we arrived the owner said well we have a large birthday party booked but we don't want to turn you away (they knew we had open table res); we were like whaaaatt? She said but we will have to put you upstairs (where there was 2 tables so we figured okay) someone waited on us who was clearly there as extra help for party becauE he knew nothing about the menu and service was terrible. The owner said that because they were cooking for the party our pasta would take awhile. Anyways, appetizer was good and pasta was fresh and tasty but I wouldn't rush back honestly as there are so Many other great restaurants more organized and attentive!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
Having just returned from
Florence, I can attest that Sfixio's food is the real deal. Their Tagliata (sliced Florentine steak) is outstanding as are their fresh pastas. The restaurant is run by a delightful young Italian couple, with the wife running the front of the house and the husband manning the kitchen. The restaurant itself is attractive, but while everyone is friendly and helpful, it's unfortunate that even on a relatively slow night, the wait between courses was interminable and without explanation. We were told what the order of courses should be - and it made perfect sense - but things were not delivered as promised. So, go for the wonderful food and engaging staff, but be prepared for a long evening."
Dined on 2/21/2014
I had a 30th birthday dinner at
Sfixio and had a really good time. The restaurant is owned by a husband and wife. It has a very elegant interior. The owner called me several times prior to my dinner to make sure that everything was in order for my dinner. She was very sweet. I cannot remember any restaurant going out of their way to this extent to make sure that my guests and I were accommodated. The atmosphere was inviting yet intimate. The food was good and the pasta was made from scratch. The wife runs the restaurant while the husband is busy cooking in the kitchen. Every attendee was greeted with respect and appreciation when arriving and leaving the restaurant. I will definitely be back in the future."

We found this restaurant on "Open
Table" and saw it had great reviews so we decided to give it a try. We had a wonderful evening celebrating our daughter's 20th birthday. The food was excellent and the owner was very friendly and hospitible, and her husband is the excellent chef! She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of properly and the food was so fresh! We each ordered something different and really enjoyed tasting each other's dinner. We also ordered different desserts which were equally amazing. The restaurant was beautiful and very comfortable. We will definitely be back the next time we are in LA."
Dined on 2/16/2014
I went to this Restaurant with my
friends at 9 pm. We ate fresh salad, delicious pasta, and juicy steak with good wine. Our orders were what the staff recommended. Food and drink were very good and the staffs were very kind. We had a very nice time at the restaurant. However, what we have to be careful about is car parking. We visited the restaurant by a car and had a little difficulty in finding a street parking place because the restaurant is very popular!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
We split a pasta as an appetizer
and each had veal, all very tasty. Dessert was delicious as well. It was a special Valentine's dinner, limited menu compared to usual. Service was a little slow, but friendly. Hostess stopped by our table a couple times to check on us. They do seem to really care about their guests."

Dined on 2/3/2014
We took a leap of faith from Open
Table who recommended this restaurant for "romantic" and "Italian" food. You were right on both counts. The pasta was homemade and fresh, in fact all the food was freshly made and wonderful. It was just lovely and intimate, and we will all be sure to return. The husband is the chef and the wife runs the front of the restaurant...they went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our dining experience."

First time at Sfixio and what a
lovely surprise it was to find down to earth people in Beverly Hills who run a great restaurant with amazing food. Mara greeted us super friendly and was very attentive to our needs throughout the whole night. Her husband Massimo, who is a fantastic chef, came to say hi and gave us his recommendation on food. Due to late lunch, we ended up sharing three, truly delicious dishes: Carpaccio di Manzo (cut by hand as it suppose), Truffle Tagliolini (OK, I do not like truffles, but this dish is to to-die-for, out-of-this-world experience) and Costola alla Fiorentina (the best I have ever had and note, I travel to Italy several times a year). We will for sure go back and strongly recommend anyone to visit this gem."

Local taxpayers are paying more to clean up meth labs.
The Montgomery County sheriff's office said it's already paid $7,095 to clean up meth labs so far this year, only about $500 less than it paid for clean ups during all of 2012.
"This year, if that trend continues, [the cost to local taxpayers] could exceed $30,000 or $40,000," explained Montgomery County sheriff's office Captain Bradley St. Clair.
The U.S. Department of Justice used to help local sheriffs offices and police departments by footing the bill for meth lab clean ups.
St. Clair said that pot of money has been dry since October.
St. Clair confirmed that it's the "one pot" cooking version that is the problem, where meth cooks manufacture the drug in 20 ounce or two liter soda bottles.
While St. Clair said the one pot method is cheaper to clean up, meth cooks are starting to get better, and greedier.
St. Clair said, whereas in the past they were finding labs with only two or three bottles, "Now we're starting to find 8, 9, 10, or 12 bottles in one lab."
The bigger the labs get the more they cost to clean up.

Customize backend style and UI
29 March 2010 at 1:36am
Whats the best way to modify the backend UI a little bit?
Ive red saphire framework let you change things but I wonder If I would like to change the TAB styling for example how to do that.
Are there backend themes? To skin the backend?
Re: Customize backend style and UI
29 March 2010 at 8:17pm
You can define a editor.css in your theme which is included in the backend. You could probably use this as a crude way of getting in and overriding css / images in the backend.
If you want to customize templates or do anything more drastic then your need to make a themes/yourtheme_cms/ folder and in that you should be able to override the css, templates.
Re: Customize backend style and UI
29 March 2010 at 8:33pm
Thanks Willr
So I create a /themes/myname_cms/ and copy all /images/ /css /templates from /cms/* inside that?
Re: Customize backend style and UI
29 March 2010 at 8:40pm
Hmm just tried this myself and it looks like the path to the css files are hardcoded, I thought the links should have been themedCSS but appears not. You can try doing that. If you don't have any luck use the editor.css to override it.

Hey Willr,
I'm not having any luck with this with 2.4 beta1. Is there any other way to set some custom CSS in the admin side? I need to apply 2-3 classes so nothing huge, but editor.css doesn't seem to get loaded in scope. For example,
body.CMSMain {
background: aqua;
doesn't show anything.
Re: Customize backend style and UI
30 March 2010 at 10:43pm
Can the dev team make this non hardcoded and a setting in the config files?
So we can easily override this?
Re: Customize backend style and UI
31 March 2010 at 9:17am
jorrie just had a look through the code and changing the css links to the themedCSS won't work since it'll include your themes main files but I have stumbled across another way to do it. LeftAndMain::init() has a extend() call (at least in 2.4) so you can override with a custom LeftAndMain extension.
// mysite/code/MyCustomLeft.php
class MyCustomLeft extends Extension {
public function init() {
Then add the extension in your _config
// add to the mysite/_config.php
Object::add_extension('LeftAndMain', 'MyCustomLeft');
Will load an admin.css file from your theme.

Bucs' playoff hopes alive with 23-13 victory
Josh Freeman passed for two touchdowns and the Buccaneers beat the Saints 23-13 on Sunday to stay alive in the NFC playoff race.
Chiefs continue worst-to-first trend
Since 2002, the NFL has produced at least one team every season that has gone from fourth place one year to first the following year, with Kansas City being the latest example this season.
Ankle still an issue for Saints RB Thomas
There are concerns that Pierre Thomas aggravated an ankle injury during practice Friday, and he's considered a game-time decision for New Orleans' Week 17 game against Tampa Bay after sitting out practice Saturday.
Colston has procedure on knee
Saints WR Marques Colston had an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee, making him questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers.
Saints place KR Roby on I.R.
The Saints placed KR Courtney Roby on injured reserve Thursday with a concussion.
Brees shakes off INTs; Saints edge Falcons
Drew Brees shook off two fourth-quarter interceptions, throwing a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham with 3:24 remaining that gave New Orleans a 17-14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons and clinched a return to the playoffs for the defending ...
Saints' Graham makes Shockey more expendable
In light of the late-season contributions of rookie TE Jimmy Graham, it doesn't appear that veteran TE Jeremy Shockey will return to New Orleans after his contract expires at the end of next season, according to NFC South Whispers.
Injury report for Saints-Falcons MNF game
Here is the injury report for the Week 16 Monday-night game, New Orleans at Atlanta, showing the status of each injured player.
Saints S Harper playing his best ball in contract year
Saints SS Roman Harper could more than make up for whatever he missed out on last offseason once he hits free agency again in 2011.
Road to Super Bowl for NFC teams should go through Atlanta
The team that was supposed to be shaky on the road probably isn't going to have to travel again this season, unless it advances to Super Bowl XLV in Dallas.
Saints' run 'D' ailing with Turner up next
With positioning for the postseason on the line, the Saints can ill afford a defensive collapse down the stretch, but bouncing back from a poor Week 15 performance will not be easy.
Thomas, Bush prove to be fantasy farces
Expectations were high for the Saints' backfield duo of Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush entering 2010. But for a host of reasons, the pair turned out to be major fantasy flops.
Rice does it all for Ravens
Ray Rice ran for 153 yards, caught five passes for 80 yards and scored two touchdowns to carry the Ravens over the New Orleans Saints 30-24 on Sunday.
Profile raised, but Brees striking right balance
Drew Brees' celebrity has grown considerably since the Saints won the Super Bowl and he was named MVP of the game earlier this year.
2010 NFL playoff scenarios for Week 15
The NFL has released the possible playoff scenarios heading into the Week 15 games.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says New Orleans and unrestricted free agents, Coleman and quarterback Luke McCown, have agreed to terms on one-year contracts.||||||| The 6-foot-5, 293-pound Coleman has spent the last two seasons as a starting defensive end in Dallas' 3-4 alignment. He will rejoin new Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who held the same position with the Cowboys during Coleman's time in Dallas.
Coleman was traded to the Browns, along with safety Abram Elam, quarterback Brett Ratliff and two draft picks, in a deal that allowed the New York Jets to move up in the draft to select USC quarterback Mark Sanchez.||||||| Coleman, who will be entering his eighth season, led all 3-4 defensive ends in tackles last season. He should be a good fit in the Browns' defensive scheme.
The New York Jets signed the defensive end. Coleman has played five seasons in the NFL and saw time in all 16 games with Dallas last season. He spent four seasons with Dallas after playing in Oakland as a rookie.||||||| In 2006, Coleman had four sacks and recorded 31 tackles.

Damon puts burden on his shoulders
Cleveland (16-17) at New York (17-18), Thursday, 1:05 p.m. ET
NEW YORK -- The Yankees will try to avoid the second three-game sweep of the current homestand when they take the field on Thursday against the Indians, and Johnny Damon doesn't mind being held personally responsible for the position in which the team finds itself."We weren't too good, and it starts with me," Damon said. "The last two nights, I haven't been able to do anything. It shows ... when [Derek] Jeter comes up; it's a big difference. I just wish I could get it going every single night, because I know it makes it a lot easier on the rest of the guys." Damon, 0-for-9 in the Cleveland series, with two strikeouts, called the Yankees' offense "pitiful" over their last 18-inning period. New York managed just three runs -- none on Wednesday against lefty Cliff Lee and two relievers -- while wasting quality starts from both Andy Pettitte and Chien-Ming Wang. The Yankees, who were swept at home by the Tigers from April 29 to May 1, hope to avoid that same fate on Thursday in sending right-hander Mike Mussina to the hill opposite right-hander Paul Byrd. Mussina has won three consecutive starts after an in-print critique from Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner, last defeating the Mariners on Saturday in New York with a season-high five strikeouts through six innings of one-run ball. That Seattle series produced a sweep, and Jeter doesn't believe that the team has played all that differently in the Cleveland games. "We've played well against Seattle, and I thought we played well [on Tuesday], but they stole one from us," Jeter said, referring to David Dellucci's pinch-hit three-run homer off Joba Chamberlain. "I like our chances if we're in that position more often than not. "[On Wednesday] we just didn't score any runs. I really think we've been playing pretty good, even though we lost two games we'd obviously like to win." Needless to say, the Yankees' offense features a void without Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada present. Though Rodriguez is expected to be activated by May 15 or May 16, the Yankees altered his timetable slightly after Wednesday's game to allow him to have an MRI performed on his strained right quadriceps before he begins a Minor League rehab assignment in Tampa. Knowing that Rodriguez's return is on the horizon helps somewhat, but Posada is still weeks away, and neither will be able to help as Mussina walks to the mound on Thursday. "They're very good players. We can't control that," Damon said. "Fortunately, we're probably only going to miss [Alex] for a total of 20 games, and hopefully he'll be ready right after this 15-day stint. Posada is another story. What we lack in Posada's bat, we gain in [Jose] Molina's arm and catching abilities." Pitching matchup
NYY: RHP Mike Mussina (4-3, 4.23 ERA)
Mussina will be in search of his fourth straight victory when he takes the mound on the final day of this homestand. He beat the Tribe in Cleveland on Saturday, working five innings and giving up two runs on seven hits. Mussina, who is 12-9 lifetime against Cleveland, has been a master of control to date this season, yielding just five walks in 38 1/3 innings. His last start, his seventh, was the first in which he didn't give up a home run. CLE: RHP Paul Byrd (1-2, 3.74 ERA)
Byrd was magnificent against the Mariners in his last start, on May 1, holding them scoreless on just four hits, with a walk and four strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings. He has really turned his season around after two brutal starts to open it. Byrd has a 1.71 ERA over his last four starts but only one win and three no-decisions to show for it because of shaky support. He is 0-2 with a 3.46 ERA in four career regular-season starts in Yankee Stadium. Tidbits
Hideki Matsui has a 16-game hitting streak, tying his career high. The string is currently the longest in the American League. ... Jeter had five at-bats in Wednesday's game, giving him 7,550 for his career. That surpasses Yogi Berra (7,546) for fourth place on New York's all-time list. ... Mariano Rivera needs one appearance to become the 39th player in Major League history to reach 800. Tickets

SANYA, China (AP) -- Race leader Telefonica of Spain stamped its dominance on the Volvo Ocean Race by winning Saturday's in-port race in China despite having spent the previous two days changing the boat's rigging.
World sailor of the year Iker Martinez and his crew sat out practice races on Thursday and Friday while his shore team hastily replaced the rigging after they found it failed to reach the correct tension.
With Leg 4 to Auckland in New Zealand approaching and a forecast of gale-force winds and 30-foot waves, Martinez said the team could not afford to take any chances with its rigging, so decided on the eleventh-hour switch.
Telefonica still won the in-port event by 41 seconds over America's Puma, opening an 18-point lead in the standings.

Personality Predictors of Adherence to Clinic-Based Rehabilitation Following ACL Reconstruction
Judy Van Raalte, Springfield College, USA
Theme: Injury/trauma/rehabilitation
Poster Number: 33
Program ID: POS-1
Presentation: October 3, 2013 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Room: Napoleon
Surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is generally followed by a lengthy period of rehabilitation, a portion of which is customarily completed in a clinical setting. Adherence to clinic-based rehabilitation is associated with recovery outcomes after ACL surgery. Although Big Five personality characteristics have been found to predict adherence to several medical regimens, they have not been investigated as predictors of adherence to clinic-based rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness were predictive of adherence to clinic-based rehabilitation activities after ACL surgery. Participants were 108 individuals (36 females and 72 males) who had ACL surgery with one of the three surgeons affiliated with the study. Prior to surgery, participants completed a battery of questionnaires that included the NEO-Five Factor Inventory-S (NEO-FFI-S; Costa & McCrae, 1992). After surgery, rehabilitation professionals recorded participants' attendance at rehabilitation sessions and rated their adherence during rehabilitation sessions on the Sport Injury Rehabilitation Adherence Scale (SIRAS; Brewer et al., 2000). Results of multiple regression analyses controlling for age and sex revealed that the Big Five personality characteristics accounted for a significant portion of the variance in both attendance (R2 = .11, p = .040) and SIRAS scores (R2 = .17, p = .002). Agreeableness (? = .27, p = .015) was a significant predictor of attendance scores, and openness (? = .24, p = .012) and conscientiousness (? = .35, p = .001) were significant predictors of SIRAS scores. The findings highlight the relevance of Big Five personality characteristics to sport injury rehabilitation adherence and suggest that the general characteristics of agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness join more specific personality characteristics such as self-motivation, ego orientation, and toughmindedness in contributing to the prediction of sport injury rehabilitation adherence.

Manny flashes leather with catch at wall
Dodgers slugger makes run-saving grab in seventh
ST. LOUIS -- Slugger Manny Ramirez declined to throw his hat in the ring for a first Gold Glove Award after his run-saving catch in the seventh inning of the Dodgers' 3-2 loss to the Cardinals in 15 innings Wednesday night.
"No chance," Ramirez said to the Gold Glove suggestion.
Nonetheless, he made an amazing catch with runners on first and second and two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, flagging down Brendan Ryan's bid for extra bases with a catch near the left-field fence.
"I anticipated what to do if that happened," Ramirez said. "I hustled and jumped at the fence and got lucky there."
Ramirez flipped the ball into the stands, it fell back to the field, then he flipped it back into the stands.
"I wanted to give it to the fans," he said.
Ramirez was laughing as he accepted high-fives when he returned to the dugout.
"I thought it was a home run," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said.
"I didn't know if the ball had gone out, but he definitely saved a couple runs," pitcher Clayton Kershaw said. "When he came down, I didn't know he had it."
"I was on my knees," catcher Russell Martin said. "He jumped early and I thought the ball went over the fence, then it looked like it was off the fence when he picked it up and he threw it back over. It was awesome. He's playing good 'D' out there."

KineRAW S35 2K Camera Getting Active Canon Mount, EVF Bundle, iPad App, and More
We haven't heard much news about the KineRAW S35 since pre-orders began back in August. The Chinese-made 2K camera capable of shooting a few different flavors of RAW video to SSDs will come in well under $10,000 for a working package, and could make some noise once it finally begins shipping in the States sometime in 2013. It has already begun shipping in China, and Dan Chung over at DSLR News Shooter got his own recently, and he has some news about what Kinefinity has planned for the camera's future.
First, if you haven't seen it, here's one of the latest videos showing off the camera is from DSLR News Shooter's own Matthew Allard (some highlights were blown intentionally as he mentioned in our comments previously):
Taken from DSLR News Shooter, here is Dan Chung on the new developments for the S35:
Like the Red One when it was launched, the KineRAW is undergoing continual improvement even after launch. The newer firmware versions are said by Kinefinity to be more stable with image quality optimised for 640 ISO and its multipliers (1280, 2560 etc.) Firmware version 7997 was made available to download this week – this is an essential update for users.
The other big news is that they have an electronic EOS mount with aperture control in the works. This should be due in January and is said to work with most EOS lenses, with aperture control via a control knob on the camera body. The aperture value will be displayed on the camera's LCD screen. The adapter is powered and controlled via the camera and is connected with a lemo connector on the front of the body. Sadly, image stabilisation will not be supported. But for shooters with a lot of EOS glass this adapter makes the KineRAW a much more attractive proposition.
They are also working on an iPad app that will allow you full control of the camera's settings. Here is the Chinese version, but there will also be one in English according to Dan:
Since the camera does not include any monitoring devices onboard to start with, Kinefinity is going to be working with Cineroid to bundle their Retina EVF with the camera for a lower price than purchasing separately, as well as a more budget-friendly non-Retina EVF:
It definitely looks like they are serious about firmware updates, and will be improving the camera regularly as well as adding new features when possible. It seems they also have a way to lessen the rolling shutter in the camera, but this may lower the image quality slightly and also lose you about a stop in dynamic range. Either way, this camera and the Blackmagic Cinema Camera may finally put some pressure on the big camera manufacturers to get really serious about their camera options under $10,000.
What do you guys think? Is the S35 still interesting to you, especially with all of the recent camera developments?

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
The footage looks great, and RAW with an S35 sensor for sub-$10K? Jesus. Imagine if they offered slow-mo options, too… Bah, details. If the build quality's up to par, this really is an astonishing deal.
No IS on the mount, so what? If you're buying this camera then you sure as hell have enough dough to get yourself a decent stedicam or shoulder rig. I've never understood the whole IS thing anyway – you don't see the big DOP's complaining about no IS on their super35mm primes…
A fair point. I really appreciate IS for running around events with a monopod or worse (*cough*… neck strap used as dodgy stabiliser… body parts used as tripods). But, for anything properly planned and tripod-mounted, IS might even be more hindrance than help.
Might be worth adding that there's probably other small advantages to Canon cameras + Canon lenses apart from IS (like peripheral light correction; and I think the C300 might have some sort of chromatic aberration correction).
By the way, I think Matt Allard's Philip Bloom-esque profile piece is a good example that, even though the S35 is not a small camera, you can mount it with perfect stability in all sorts of places; and even though it doesn't have IS, you can use it for this sort of mini doc.
Gary Simmons on 01.3.13 @ 9:31PM
Some where in Canons learning center I read that you do not want to use IS on tripod shots it actually creates movement in the lens when the camera will not shake from being hand held . They recommend turning it off for any video or still shot on a tripod.
DIYFilmSchool on 12.30.12 @ 12:30PM
You know, not for nothing (I appreciate the news reporting), but for a site with a moniker of "No Film School", a lot of time is spent showcasing some rather expensive gear.
Everyone is looking for a piece of the pro-am and budget-friendly independent filmmaking market; it's kind of getting annoying.
Fresno Bob on 12.30.12 @ 12:36PM
Think you've hit the nail on the head there.
I think since Ryan's stopped posting, it's become a split between highlighting new rig equipment for the click-through money, and a high-end gear-whore paradise.
Sub-$10K raw cameras are budget friendly for independent filmmakers. Let's not forget that as with any "school" people graduate to higher levels that can accommodate more advanced tools. It's still clearly in the same league. There are plenty of tech advances well outside of the indie film league that don't get extensive coverage on NFS because they aren't relavent beyond a passing mention as a point of interest. The S35 is more than that or a lot of us. It's news worth keeping up with.
Joe Marine on 12.30.12 @ 1:04PM
We still post almost daily about DSLRs or other budget cameras, but it only makes sense that our coverage would expand with more resources. Also, just because something is expensive, doesn't mean you have to buy it – you can always rent it, and even if you're not renting it, knowing that it exists could potentially benefit you down the road. We have a much more varied audience than just people who are starting out for the first time. That's just like anyone who might have a specific camera in the title of their blog – that doesn't mean they only cover that one camera.
Matt on 12.30.12 @ 6:29PM
Joe, i really appreciate you posting about cameras like this. Through this website i have learned so much, my tastes and goals have grown as well though knowledge gained here. Two years ago i was all about film making with DSLRs , but as you stated, things change and i hope like my self more of your viewers have grown as well. With that said posts like this one are extremely relevant to myself and i thank you for taking the time to update us on this information.
This camera looks like an amazing product (almost alexa quality) and as my knowledge has evolved i am always excited to come back to this site and learn more about technology through posts like this that are within my reach.
Joe Marine on 12.30.12 @ 6:34PM
I'm glad it's helped – I know I continue to learn something new every day, and it was actually through reading this site in the beginning that I learned a lot of things I never would have learned in school.
Gary Simmons on 01.3.13 @ 9:39PM
Right on Joe you guys have helped me go from can I do it with my T3i to yes I can and now I am ready to invest in a more expensive rig. You should cover both High and low end because we do want to move on up.
Never listen to people who say it's got to be this way or the highway you are doing an excellent job and there is nothing wrong with being noticed and courted by higher end gear advertisement. It shows that you got something going on. As long as you still provide the beginner with the same support that got me started you go for it man.
Peter on 12.30.12 @ 1:14PM
…and reblogging about a very non-DSLR non-ENG cinema camera from a site called "DSLR News Shooter."
But that's just it, the story has moved forward. People were making low-budget films 10 years ago with ENG style DV cameras, and then the 5D2 showed up and all these sites sprung up with "5D" or "DSLR" in the name. And now that too seems anachronistic as genuine cinema cameras have broken through the $10K barrier. The standards have gone up as have the delivery opportunities. Not only do you not need film school, you don't need a rich uncle either to just about match the big boys in objective output quality or reach. And this is all happening right now, and coverage of the transition naturally generates the most views, comments and affiliate revenue.
In a few years this will all settle down as everyone will have fully satisfactory purpose-built equipment and will cast about trying to think up something to shoot with it. And the story then will be about the departments other than camera. There are as many non-camera articles posted here, you just can't resist reading the camera ones (nor can I). It's fun and easy to go shopping.
With the money you save not going to a 4 year accredited film school (as much as $100K or more), you can buy all the pro equipment you want and learn how to use it yourself in far less time. Doesn't mean you'll entertain many other people with your work but I'm not sure film school or reading non-camera articles would change that much.
Many of the other sites have truly rotted down to pure sales vehicles but this one retains good nutrition, allows respectful criticism without censorship, and doesn't have a severe house bias. It's my favorite of the couple dozen out there. Koo has found good writers while he works on his film and/or redesigning all this.
jeremy on 12.30.12 @ 4:37PM
The thing with affordable cinema cameras…is that they're affordable, lol. $10,000 is expensive, but it's not impossible… just expensive enough to be just out of reach.. (not me.. that's still closer to a new car than a 5D. lol) vs. what they were going for back in the F35 days… (wtf.) it's conflicting because people start crunching numbers to own rather than rent. DSLR's are still, "we're stills cameras first!" – mainly because they still rock moire / aliasing, 8 bit, same ol shitty codec.. Canons do great at high iso's in lowlight for a cleaner image, but are soft as hell. (dslr's that is.) Where they fall short, Panasonic picks up. Gh's can resolve a mens group of fleas having a circle jerk across the street. Canon's have customizable picture styles like Cinestyle for more freedom in post which i love, (and i actually prefer the way they see color over the Gh's.) …etc… It's funny. back and forth.. enter BMC… backordered till the apocalypse. Small sensor. lmao. First guy to make one with the BMC's specs and a 35mm sensor for $3,000 so we're not bouncing around…. well.
DIYFilmSchool, be careful. That's a scary implication. To state that higher end gear (which I would argue this is not) doesn't belong on a site designed specifically for learning implies that there is a ceiling on what a "student" should be aware of. To not include news such as Red Epic upgrades, etc. limits the path of growth.
To be fair to your point, I am a working director/dp, so perhaps my interests lie in a different place than yours. However, when I was just starting out, I religiously consumed issues of American Cinematographer, even though I had no access to the gear they spoke of, nor really understanding what it was they were even doing with it. Sticking with it and learning about things that were at the time beyond me was one of the most valuable things I ever did for my own education. I would assume that's one of the main points of this site, no?
All that aside, I'm very excited about this camera and the (rumored) Mini Kineraw follow up. Give me some dynamic range and a large sensor and I'll be a happy camper.

Brian on 01.2.13 @ 10:28AM
Well put. Regardless of your education level, it's imperative to stay abreast of the direction the industry is moving. More often than not this will include discussion about gear, techniques and many more things that are far out of reach for the no-lo filmmaker. What an absurd suggestion by DIYFilmSchool that NoFilmSchool is getting out of its league. Besides, since when does your education level correlate directly with your budget?
Jimmy S. on 12.30.12 @ 3:56PM
NFS is all about gear, perhaps to appease advertisers but it seems that's what filmmakers want. Tangible devices are hope, that optimistically it will take us to the high road, but realistically it leaves us in the poorhouse with greater indebtedness to phat-and-getting-phatter financial institutional giants. Hustling for grants is a hassle, no fun, 'doesn't make people feel good like a $10k Chinese apparatus in our crusty hands. Gear is god? Bring on god!
jeremy on 12.30.12 @ 6:20PM
Why the hell are you getting sodomized by haters all the sudden? lol. hats off to you man for this site. I don't think articles with Screenplays from working Hollywood writers has anything to do with expensive gear…But whatever. I see tons of resources on here with no ulterior motives other than to teach something. Thanks for doing it man.
Joe Marine on 12.30.12 @ 6:40PM
Not really sure…Glad you appreciate the effort, we work hard every day to bring relevant topics to the community.
Ed David on 12.30.12 @ 7:38PM
yes I 2nd that. don't be a hater – if you don't like the news story you don't have to read it and certainly don't have to comment on it. NoFilmSchool is my favorite film blog. I like seeing high end and low end gear. There's lots of different great articles. Something for everyone.
+ 3
Why people bother ragging a place where they can choose to read free articles OR NOT is beyond me. If I don't like a site, I vote with my feet (or fingers). Silly anyway. Very clear that all NFS bloggers are passionate about our craft and the site, and do an excellent job. Blows most other sites away and as such is my preferred aggregate film making site. It's just a pity about some of the readership it attracts. But you get that I guess.
Speak for yourself. Most of us here actually work with this gear.
jeremy on 12.30.12 @ 11:26PM
that's awesome…..
i feel like a noob in the company of true badasses.
What does that have to do with anything I said, lol…? I was addressing the vibe in the thread that this was a sellout site focused on advertising.
@ jeremy – My comment wasn't directed at you. I totally agree with what you had to say and wasn't trying to kick any attitude. I was responding to "Jimmy S" who seemed to be projecting his own creative frustrations onto others re being taken advantage of by giant companies attempting to consumerize indie filmmaking. My point was just that these are tools we are talking about. Tools are things you use; not things you worship or wear as a status symbol. You buy them, sell them, rent them, break them, use the hell out of them, and hopefully make worthwhile stuff with them. The stuff you make is what matters. Gear is interesting, but it's nothing to get all emo about.
Well, NFS is becoming one of the best sources for news about all aspects of cinema right now. When Roger Deakins himself takes the time to comment on your site, you are doing something right.
Brian on 01.2.13 @ 10:36AM
Keep it to yourself, man. Since when does education level dictate budget? That's an absurd assertion. You'll find plenty of film school graduates (a number of people that I graduated with, for example) floundering or flipping burgers, and plenty of no-film-schoolers working in top-dollar production.
If you're annoyed by what NoFilmSchool are posting, avert your eyes.
sammy on 01.3.13 @ 10:24PM
the no-film schoolers working on top flight productions
are just people who wrote killer scripts.
Caleb on 12.30.12 @ 2:20PM
This camera looks very promising. Good form factor great specs and the images from the documentary were very beautiful. Fine grain shallow DOF and great resolution. I'm excited to see this camera blossom. But to be honest I'm done with these camera posts. As your websites name "no film school" post some lessons for us. Maybe how to light a certain way or how to achieve certain shots. I would appreciate that more than reading about a camera.
Newman on 12.30.12 @ 2:49PM
Why he's not posting as much… Ryan's making a feature film.
As someone working on DSLR shoots all the time (and also shooting with BMC) I appreciate both the gear coverage and the other creative department articles.
VINCEGORTHO on 12.30.12 @ 3:01PM
Aside from monitor, what else is needed to make this camera operational?
Joe Marine on 12.30.12 @ 3:09PM
A battery of some kind and an SSD.
Newman on 12.30.12 @ 3:22PM
Also hope to hear more about kineRAW… If it works well it will certainly influence future offerings from BMD, Canon, Sony et. al
marklondon on 12.30.12 @ 3:32PM
Very interested in this cam and have spoken with the company a number of times. They take a LONG time to get back to you. :-) But at least they do. I've also had long, um, odd conversations with Dan Hudgins out of San Fran who is/was involved with them. They are actually planning to release that 8mm version. If you have that glass, hang on to it.
I also know Dan Chung. Dan is a no-nonsense cameraman in the proud London tradition. He does not suffer fools. If he's actually bought one, and persuaded Matt Allard (also no idiot) to shoot with it, this camera is for real. I also like the flexibility of the lens mounts, and the upcoming 'sport' mode, promising 2K 50fps is a very sexy idea.
I've only held off buying so far because of, well, plain fear. That anxiety is declining with every one of Dan's posts.
Re the other issue: in our office we have guys & girls fresh out of high school (!) and people like me who remember Steenbecks and 1 inch tape. People who shoot with T2is and people who own their own EPIC. People making their first short, and a lot of us who have worked many major features. I constantly forward different articles from this site to different people. I've written this before: this is the best all-round site for post-2008 indie filmmaking.
"I've written this before: this is the best all-round site for post-2008 indie filmmaking."
I second that motion.
Thanks everyone for the feedback, positive and negative! We're proud of how far we've come and we're always trying to improve, so we appreciate hearing from you either way…
Mark on 12.30.12 @ 8:52PM
2k. Snore.
Mikki on 12.30.12 @ 10:10PM
I played with this camera, worse rolling shutter I have ever seen, a medium/slow speed pan on a 35 mm lens looked horrendous
marklondon on 12.30.12 @ 10:14PM
Where did you play with it? We're very keen to get our hands one.
Peter on 12.31.12 @ 8:16AM
If that report is true, I thank you for it…
Uhm….Dan? Should the Kineraw be nicknamed the Cannotpan?
Its possable that the production KineRAW-S8 ™ will be jell-o and skew free, they are reviewing the changes needed which is why the S8 has not gone into production yet, it you would like to email them and suggest that they talk to me about the changes needed to get jell-o and skew free shooting modes feel free to do so, its important that they know how important that is to many filmmakers, to get away from the HDSLR issues etc.
Skeptikal on 12.31.12 @ 10:54PM
Hey guys it's your Blog and it's a readable one so post whatever you think is appropriate.
Besides… wingers are free to fuck off if they don't like the articles.
Got word from Kinefinity.com (sm) that they will be going to NAB 2013 in Las Vegas (in April),
Quote: [Our booth number in this coming NAB is C12813.]
So if you have wanted some 'hands on' time with their cameras, this will be the first time they are showing them outside China as far as I know.
I've been shooting some additional test footage with both the KineRAW-S35 ™ and the prototype KineRAW-S8p ™ and may post that on my Vimeo page when I get it edited together. They are working on a demo reel for showing at NAB 2013, so if you have any suggestions of shots you would like to see you can email them and ask them to have one of their field testers shoot something like what you would like to see maybe so that when you go to NAB 2013 you can see how it turned out. They said they will have cameras there you can look over, and maybe the KineRAW-S35-mini ™ they are still working on, its a smaller version with the same high quality 100% true RAW DNG recording and S35 sensor with sub-PL mount for using a wide range of movie and still lenses, as I understand it, you can email them for detailed specs if you are interested.
Also the MSRP and shipping should be lower for the KineRAW-S35-mini ™. So jot down booth C12813 if your going to NAB this year and say high, they have been developing these cameras for many years, and the larger KineRAW-S35 ™ has been in field testing in China (in addition to the one I got to do calibrations in the monitoring with). They said they are very busy putting cameras together to ship out, so, so far things seem to be going well for them.

A Golden Gate Estates woman has less than 24 hours to leave her home. A judge ruled she must leave her home after failing to pay her mortgage. She pleaded with the bank to give her more time - even making a YouTube video. But now, her time is up.
It's been a memorable year for Cindy Balterman, but for all the wrong reasons. And now she'll likely be without a home for the holiday season. "I can't even think about it," she said.
Balterman's Golden Gate Estates home fell into foreclosure months ago - selling at a public auction in June.
"Once the house was sold, someone came forward and said they though they'd be able to help us keep the home," she said.
The 54 year-old filed an objection to the foreclosure sale and later filed for bankruptcy - delaying the closing.
"Obviously I needed to take that chance and go after it," she said. After months of fighting with signs and YouTube videos to keep the house, Balterman was out of time.
"It came down to the fact that no, we could not keep the home," she said.
Last week, a judge ordered for her to leave the home on Friday - handing it over to Tarp and Properties, the winning bidder.
"You cannot pack in 11 years and move it in 5 days, it's just impossible," Balterman said.
Balterman was granted an extension until Tuesday, but says that's not enough.
"We just need a little more time to get out, that's all we need," she said. Tarp and Properties is supposed to take over possession of the home Tuesday morning. Balterman's hoping her attorney can work out another extension until after the holidays between tonight and then. With dozens of boxes scattered in and out of the house, it's hard to imagine she'll be ready to leave in the morning, which will most likely end with eviction.

The Jackals used some intense pressure in the first period to create a handful of Cincinnati turnovers and quality scoring opportunities. But Cyclones goaltender Michael Houser was outstanding in stopping each of the 12 shots the Jackals sent his way. He saved his best for Elmira's lone power play opportunity of the period. After making the initial save on a shot from the left wing, Houser readjusted to rob Louie Caporusso's bid on the rebound from the high slot. Cincinnati claimed the lead when its captain, Mathieu Aubin, finished off a 2-on-1 rush with Michael Pelech. It was Aubin's fifth goal of the season and came 5:37 into the contest. Elmira's Maxime Clermont was sharp in stopping nine of the 10 shots he faced.
In the second period the Jackals put the pedal to the metal offensively and collected three goals for their efforts. Dustin Gazley began the barrage with a breakaway goal at 3:36. It was Gazley's first goal since November 10 in Orlando, but was not the last time he showed up on the scoresheet. Gazley next worked a pretty passing play with Justin DaCosta to set up Andrew Rowe's 13th goal of the season at 8:29. Gazley pumped Elmira's lead to two when he slammed home a backdoor setup by Rowe at 13:43. The goal capped Gazley's second three-point night of the season. Cincinnati answered back with Anthony Bitetto's first professional goal 1:10 after Gazley's marker. That set the scene for an intense third period.
Louie Caporusso keyed a play that allowed for Elmira to take back the two-goal lead it briefly enjoyed in the second. After winning a neutral-zone faceoff forward Caporusso battle through a pair of defenders to get a point-blank shot off on Houser. The initial save was made but Chaz Johnson crashed the net and cashed in the rebound for his fifth goal of the season with 3:10 gone by. That goal proved to be crucial because Cincinnati trimmed it back to one when Garrett Wilson punched home a centering feed from Anthony Luciani with 6:15 to play. The Cyclones put forth a furious comeback effort but Clermont slammed the door preserve the win.
With 27 saves on the night Clermont picked up his fourth win of the season. The Jackals finished the game 0-for-1 on the power play and 4-for-4 on the penalty kill.
