Summary: I was looking for Camcorder Which is easy to operate even for my parents. As they are not that much into computer, I decided to go for dvd camcorder.
I seen the same range Canon and Sony camcorders. Problem with Canon Camcorder is it comes with many switches, which can turn into complex operations. I also believe that Optical image stabilizer is better than Electronic Image stabilizer.
This camcorder is coming with 42X optical zoom!! which is quite higher...It also comes with Advance O.I.S....When I seen the operation mode..
Trust me, it is very simple to use...even a kid can operate it. I made my mind and I just bought it. I went to India and show it to my parents. We bought Sony mini DVD-RW discs.
When I seen the result of camera in 34 inch tv, I was so surprised with the video quality and sound quality....It was really good. I am pure technical guy and If I am looking for DVD camcorder option, I should say, this camera deserve its place. I strongly recommend this product. Thanks.

- Description: The VDR-D50's 42x optical zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic closeups or get remarkable shots of even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge effect on picture quality. That's where Panasonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) comes in, suppressing the effects of hand shake as you shoot. The system uses gyrosensors to detect hand shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate. This all happens a remarkable 4,000 times per second. And because the system is optical, no image quality is lost. Thanks to Advanced O.I.S., the images you capture look incredibly clear, sharp and blur-free even at high zoom levels. For quick and easy operation, this DVD camcorder automatically finds a blank section on the disc when you start shooting. And with multi-format recording, you can choose whichever type of disc works best with your DVD player or recorder. When you finish shooting, just take the disc from the camcorder and slip it right into your DVD player or recorder. There's no need to connect any cables and you can start viewing your memories right away. You can either insert the DVD disc right into your PC or use the included USB cable to connect the camcorder to your PC and transfer the motion-image data that way. Then with the included VideoCam Suite 1.0 software, you can easily put scenes in a different order and delete the ones you don't want. When you're finished with your video production, you can resave the edited version onto an SD memory card or a DVD disc.

Salesforce.com on Wednesday is set to unveil a series of products for mobile computing, social collaboration, social analytics and marketing during the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco.
Perhaps the most technically ambitious product to be announced is Social Key. This will build upon Salesforce.com's Data.com service, which provides business contact data for lead-generation and other sales purposes.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Salesforce.com subsidiary Heroku entices enterprise Java developers with cloud platform. | Get the scoop on the current state of the cloud with InfoWorld's "Cloud computing in 2012" and "Cloud Applications Deep Dive" special reports. Download them today! | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
Social Key, which is now in development and set for general availability in the second half of 2013, will tie data from social networks "with traditional data like employer and phone number", giving companies "the data perspective necessary to develop deeper connections with customers," according to a statement.
"We think it's going to get a really great reaction at Dreamforce," said Michael Peachey, director of solutions marketing.
In addition, Salesforce.com plans to announce a pair of portal products based on its Chatter social collaboration and messaging service.
Chatter Communities for Partners will allow Salesforce.com partners to build private, branded community sites for their products and services, while Chatter Communities for Service will do the same thing for customers' customer-service operations.
While Salesforce.com already allowed some semblance of these capabilities upon the release last year of customer groups for Chatter, the new portals provide an "optimal experience," Peachey said.
The idea is to give customers a single place to find answers to questions online. It will also "deliver a unified customer service experience that lets companies seamlessly deliver support across channels, even if the case begins in social media, and is resolved in a service community," according to a statement.
A mobile Web application will also be available for portal access, Salesforce.com said.
Both products will enter a limited pilot program over the next few months and are expected to be generally available in the second half of next year. Pricing hasn't been finalized.
Also as of Wednesday, Salesforce.com's Touch mobile user interface will be generally available, initially on the iPad, with Android and iPhone support coming soon. Salesforce.com built Touch in HTML5, and has been getting "great feedback" from early customers, Peachey said. Touch, "a fully mobile sales application," comes as part of a customer's Sales Cloud subscription, Peachey added.
About 85,000 people have registered to attend Dreamforce, according to the company, although that number may be boosted by the fact that Salesforce.com provides free admission to show keynotes.
There's no questioning Salesforce.com's growth rate, however, as its on tap to hit US$3 billion in annual revenue soon.

Brown Named College Sports Madness A-Sun Player of the Week
FORT MYERS, Fla. – FGCU men's basketball junior Sherwood Brown (Orlando, Fla./Olympia HS) was named the Atlantic Sun Player of the Week by College Sports Madness on Monday night before the Eagles took on Belmont.
During the weekly time frame for the award, Brown averaged team-highs of 15.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in FGCU's two victories against Jacksonville and at Lipscomb. Brown joins freshman Bernard Thompson (Conyers, Ga./Rockdale County HS) as weekly winners by the website.
College Sports Madness identifies the highest impact players nationally and one from each conference in their weekly feature. The site's coverage also includes a Top 25 ranking, tournament bracketology and team pages for each conference and school.
In his second game back after missing four contests, Brown provided a major spark off the bench in a physical showdown against Jacksonville. The Orlando, Fla. product went for 15 points and six rebounds in just 18 minutes of work, hitting all five shots from the field, including a pair of threes. Brown then helped FGCU overcome a 13-point second half deficit in Nashville, again coming off the bench for 16 points and eight rebounds as the Eagles topped the Bison, 84-80, in overtime.
<>p> Brown has reached double figures in eight of 14 games played, ranking second on the team and 13th in the A-Sun in scoring at 11.6 per contest. He leads the team in rebounding (5.3), field goal percentage (.517) and is second in offensive rebounds (29).
FGCU put an end to a three-game road swing on Friday when it takes on in-state and conference rival Stetson at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on Comcast Sports South (CSS).

Ex-Rutlander charged in Maine slayings due in courtThe Portland Press Herald | December 31,2012BIDDEFORD — James Pak, the 74-year-old Biddeford man scheduled to appear in York County Superior Court this afternoon on murder charges, had to be disabled with a Taser when police took him into custody Saturday night.
Biddeford Police Chief Roger Beaupre said that following a three-hour negotiation with a Biddeford officer, Pak agreed to leave his house at 17 Sokokis Road. But when he emerged from the house, he refused to comply with officers' commands and they could not be sure he was not still armed.
One of the officers disabled him with a Taser, the first discharge of the electronic stun devices since the department acquired them in October, Beaupre said.
Pak, who moved to Maine from Rutland, Vt., about six years ago, faces charges of fatally shooting Derrick Thompson, 19, and Alivia Welch, 18, who were his tenants. Pak also is accused of shooting Thompson's mother, Susan Johnson, 44, also a tenant.
She survived and was escorted from the apartment to a waiting ambulance by a Biddeford officer at the outset of the standoff, Beaupre said.
Johnson was taken to Maine Medical Center but a hospital spokeswoman said Monday she is not listed as a patient. A State police spokesman said he did not know her whereabouts or whether she had been discharged, but said she was still alive.
Johnson's 7-year-old son, Brayden, hid in a bedroom during the shooting and was not injured.
Biddeford police were initially called to the house by one of the tenants complaining that Pak was banging on the door. Police left 43 minutes later after determining that the tenants did not feel threatened.
Less than four minutes later, police were called back to the resident by Johnson reporting the shooting.
Pak has no criminal record in Maine, according to the State Bureau of Identification.
Pak owns the two-unit house where the Saturday shootings took place and lives in the main building.
Pak was arrested in his driveway about 10 p.m. Saturday.
State police said Sunday a dispute over parking in one of the home's two driveways during a snowstorm may have led to the shooting.
Friends of Thompson and Welch will hold a candlelight vigil at 6:30 p.m. today at Clifford Park in Biddeford.
Welch graduated from Thornton Academy in Saco last June and was a nursing student at Southern Maine Community College. Thompson, who attended Biddeford High School, worked as a car detailer at Patriot Subaru in Saco.
Thompson's family moved into the Sokokis Road house in October. Welch had been staying there for about a month, according to police.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER This election cycle is shaping up to be a favorable one for Vermont incumbents.

omiio.org is dedicated to fostering open source growth for mobile applications software development on TI's OMAP™ platform.
Through omiio.org, you can collaborate, share and grow open source hardware and software.
The goal of this project is to port Qi bootloader to the PandaBoard. Qi is a tiny, fast, "no frills" bootloader for ARM architectures. It permits direct loading of Linux kernel without intervention of u-boot. Its aim is to stay at the minimum needed to load and boot Linux kernel (without boot-menus or additional peripheral init).
At the moment there are Qi's versions for Samsung s3c* and omap3 (in a different branch) but there is no omap4 version. This project will try to develop and maintain a working version for omap4.
This bootlader will give feedback to the user by turning on/off LEDs on the PandaBoard in a way similar to FreeRunner GTA02 (for example turn on LED on successful kernel pull). It will also accept input from the user by pressing some buttons (for example adding debugging parameters to the kernel command line). To this end maybe I will need to add some push-buttons or LEDs connected to GPIOs
In a second phase I'm planning to add JTAG support to PandaBoard to debug early stages of boot. In this phase I will implement, configure and document a complete open source based JTAG debugging development chain for ARM Cortex A9 in OMAP4 used on PandaBoard. This includes final port of open source JTAG software OpenOCD for OMAP4 on Panda, and then configure and document all software (and hardware) components involved.

From WikiColdplay
"Yellow" is the breakthrough single that earned Coldplay international recognition. It was the second single from their debut album Parachutes and their first Top 10 hit on the UK Singles Chart. Regional singles were released for France, the United States, and Brazil.
The song was recorded at Liverpool's Parr Street Studios. The recording was rushed, so that the song could be released in time for Summer 2000. In 2001, the single was used extensively for ABC fall television promotions, and was also employed as the theme music for The Cancer Council Australia's "Daffodil Day", in recognition of that organization's official flower's yellow hue.
On VH1's Storytellers program, Chris Martin revealed that his inspiration for the song's title came from the Yellow Pages.[1]
The song is consistently played during home games at English Premiership club Watford.
Track listing
- "Yellow" – 4:29
- "Help is Round the Corner" – 2:38
- "No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground" – 4:33
Cover images
Background and Inspiration
Yellow was written in a Rockfield studio in Wales called the Quadrangle, where Coldplay began working on their debut album, Parachutes. One night after finishing recording Shiver, the lead single of the album, the band took a break and went out of the studio. Outside, there were few lights on and the stars in the sky were visible and "just amazing", according to the song's co-producer, Ken Nelson. He told the band to look at the stars, which they did. Vocalist Chris Martin was inspired by the sight and the song's main melody, consisting of a chord pattern, popped into his head. At first, Martin did not take it seriously "as he relayed the tune to the rest of the band in his worst Neil Young impersonation voice". Martin has said, "The song had the word 'stars' and that seemed like a word you should sing in a Neil Young voice." The melody "started off a lot slower", according to drummer Will Champion, and it sounded like a Neil Young song. Not long after, despite not taking the song seriously, Martin's idea worked out when he had developed the tempo of the verse. When guitarist Jonny Buckland started playing it and supplemented it with his ideas, they had created the riff, "and it sort of got a bit heavier".
While composing the song's lyrics, however, Martin could not find the right words. He was thinking of a specific word, which he deemed a missing key word in the lyrics, to fit the song's concept. He looked around the studio and found the telephone directory Yellow Pages, which happened to be situated nearest to him. Martin later titled the song "Yellow" as a reference to the directory. He quipped, "In an alternate universe, this song could be called 'Playboy.' "The lyrics progressed from there with the band collaborating. Bassist Guy Berryman came up with the opening line "Look at the stars". That night, having quickly composed the song, the band recorded it.
Release and reception
"Yellow" and "Shiver" were initially released as EPs in the spring of 2000.[9] The former was later released as a single in UK on 26 June 2000. The single includes the songs "Help Is Round the Corner" and "No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground", the third taken from the band's first EP, Safety.In the United States, however, the song was released as the lead single off the album. In October 2000, the track was sent to US college and alternative radio outlets.[2] The band released a limited-edition CD of "Trouble", the third single off Parachutes, which features a remix of "Yellow". It was pressed to 1,000 copies, and was issued only to fans and journalists.
The single, accompanied by its TV reception through its music video, received massive radio airplay, particularly at BBC Radio 1. The reaction was chiefly positive and even the newly-revitalized BBC Radio 2 played the track repeatedly. This heavy rotation continued for months after its release, eventually ending as 2000's most-aired song. It has also became a sing-along number at various British clubs, pubs and sporting events; the song is consistently played during home games at English Championship club Watford. A month after the album was released in the United States via record label Nettwerk, "Yellow" was used as the theme song for ABC autumn television promotions. The song was also used as the theme music for The Cancer Council Australia's "Daffodil Day", in recognition of that organization's official flower's yellow hue.
The song was well-received from critics. Matt Diehl of Rolling Stone magazine has noted "Yellow" is "unrepentantly romantic", adding that "the band creates a hypnotic slo-mo otherworld where spirit rules supreme". "Yellow" won Best Single at the 2001 NME Carling Awards. It was nominated at the 2002 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Billboard said that "every time that electric-guitar riff barges in, you're hooked all over again." In August 2009 the song was listed at #263 on Pitchfork Media's "Top 500 songs of the 2000's". This song was also selected as one of many songs to hear and download in the musical reference book, 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die: And 10,001 You Must Download.
Music video
The music video for "Yellow" was filmed at Studland Bay, near Swanage, England. The area is known for its beautiful beaches and is a National Trust location. The video is very minimalistic and simple, featuring only lead singer Chris Martin singing the song as he walks along the beach. He is wearing a raincoat with his hair wet, suggesting that it had just rained. The video is one continuous shot with no cuts. Also, the entire sequence is in slow motion.
Originally it had been intended for the whole band to appear in the video, in a sunny setting. However, band member Will Champion's mother's funeral was held on the day of the recording, so it was decided that only Martin would appear in the video. The weather also opposed the original plan, with harsh winds and rain instead of the sunny day that had been envisioned. It had also been originally intended for there to be moving stars in the sky, as if in a time-lapse. The directors however agreed that this would have been too distracting for the focus of the video, which was Chris Martin. The plan of time advancing was still kept, however. The video begins with the beach being somewhat dark until sunlight arrives nearly at the video's midway point.
The video was directed by James & Alex of The Artists Company. The video was shot at 50 frames per second, twice the regular speed. At the shoot, Chris Martin had to sing the song at double speed so that the audio and visual content would sync up. The final product is slowed to 25 frames per second, giving the slow motion effect of the video.
The transition of the video from night to day was achieved through telecine. During the transfer from film to videotape, an operator manually adjusted the amount of lighting for blue in the beginning, red in the middle, and yellow at the end of the video.
Shooting was completed in a single day, with five takes for the video.[2]
Chart performance
Yellow played well in Europe, and was popular. In the United Kingdom, its midweek sales suggested that the single would reach the Top 10 of the chart. Although the band supposed "Yellow" would decline inside the Top 20, they would have considered its performance a triumph since the album's lead single, "Shiver", had only reached the 35th position. Since "Yellow"'s second week sales were stronger, it eventually reached number four, giving the band their first Top 10 single in the United Kingdom. The popularity of the song in British clubs, pubs and sporting events bolstered the album to debut at number one on the UK Albums Chart.
"Yellow" achieved popularity in the United States, and was Coldplay's first American hit. The single charted on eight different Billboard singles charts; it also topped various US modern-rock radio playlists in the spring of 2001. The single performed as it did in Europe and has helped Parachutes be certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America during the single's stay on the chart. After Coldplay's appearance at Sound Relief in Australia, In the charting week starting 22 March 2009, the single made a return to the Australian ARIA Top 50, after almost eight years since its last appearance in the Top 50. It re-entered the chart at number 48.

Live Performances
Coldplay has performed Yellow several times throughout their career, and it has been an audience favourite. The band had their debut performance on television on the show Later...with Jools Holland. They performed Parachutes's lead single, Shiver, and the new song, Yellow; but it was the latter that had an immediate studio audience impact. They have also performed at the Glastonbury Festival, one of the prominent festivals in Europe. During their second appearance in July 2000, Coldplay performed "Yellow" and "effortlessly" captured over 10,000 spectators. Coldplay's popularity at this time was still growing and "Yellow" has helped cultivate it; Martin has said it was the best day of their year. When this song is performed at concerts, large yellow balloons are dropped on the audience. The first known sighting of yellow balloons at a Coldplay concert can be dated back to 24 September 2002 at the UIC Pavilion, in Chicago, Illinois during the song "Yellow". Chris Martin noticed the balloons in the air with a surprised look. Now, the balloons are filled with confetti, and at the end of the song Chris Martin pops one with his guitar and confetti flies everywhere.
Yellow has been covered by numerous singers worldwide, some in different languages and styles. A Chinese language version of "Yellow" was recorded by Chinese rock singer Zheng Jun in 2001, six months after the original release of the single. Singaporean singer Tanya Chua covered the song.[25] The cover band and comedy act Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine covered this as a Lounge style version on his 2004 album I'd Like a Virgin. The song has also been performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. American musicians Petra Haden and Bill Frisell covered the song, featuring it in their album Petra Haden and Bill Frisell; the cover appears in episode 3.08 of the The O.C.. In 2006, Tre Lux covered "Yellow" on the cover album A Strange Gathering. Fame Academy winner Alex Parks often performed "Yellow" and a cover appears on her debut album. English vocal troupe G4 covered the song for their second album, G4 & Friends, with "unique harmonies". American singer-writer Brooke White covered "Yellow" on her 2006 album Songs from the Attic. White's manager directed her to cover American hard rock band Aerosmith's 1973 single "Dream On", but she wanted to do "Yellow". Since they had contradicting ideas, they compromised and ended up producing cover versions of the two. In 2009, Jem performed a cover of Yellow for Starbucks Entertainment's Valentine's Day compilation Sweetheart: Our Favorite Artists Sing Their Favorite Love Songs.
The song has also been covered in live performances by various artists. The progressive bluegrass trio Nickel Creek has played "Yellow" in the middle of "The Lighthouse's Tale" at their concerts. Boyce Avenue an acoustic rock band from Florida covered "Yellow" in their album entitled "Influential Sessions". Galway-based musicians Joe Joyce and Oisin Tierney have been known to cover "Yellow" as part of their performances, and American band The Almost has often covered "Yellow" at their live shows. American alternative rock band Brand New often covers part of the song live at the end of their song "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot". The X Factor 2008 contestant Diana Vickers covered the song for 'Best of British week'. During their 2010 tour, Limp Bizkit have also covered the song regularly live. U2 performed an excerpt of "Yellow" live at Glastonbury Festival 2011.
Song Facts
Lead singer Chris Martin has said that the lyrics are about being devoted to someone, wanting to do anything for them - writing a song for them, swimming across the sea for them and so on. He said that it's not necessarily a romantic devotion, but someone that you look up to and would do anything for, a brotherly love. (thanks, Adam - Sussex, England)
The band came up with the line "Look at the stars, look how they shine for you" after looking up at the night sky. They were recording in Wales, which had a nice, clear sky.
The color yellow can have many negative implications ("Yellow Journalism," "Yellow Fever," a "Yellow Card" for a foul in soccer), but for Coldplay, it is a beautiful color. According to lead singer Chris Martin, "It was simply because that word sounded nice, it just seemed to fit, no other reason. None of the other colors would have sounded right really!" The Beatles were kind to the color when they used it in their song "Yellow Submarine."
Martin initially wrote the words and melody, then the rest of the band wrote the other bits and pieces (the hook, the riff, fillsetc.). (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)
"Yellow" is a term that can mean cowardly or afraid. From this standpoint, the singer could be afraid and nervous to show his love, until he "ran across" and "jumped across" for her. He finally got the nerve to express his love. (thanks, Stefan - Winona, MN)
This was a hit in their native England, but it didn't do nearly as well in the US, where it took Coldplay longer to catch on. The song did have tremendous crossover appeal, however, and got lots of airplay on Modern Rock, Adult Contemporary and Pop radio stations.
The video is one continuous shot of Chris Martin walking on a beach in England. The plan was to shoot the band walking along a sunny beach with lots of people lying around, but Coldplay drummer Will Champion's mother died shortly before the shoot. The film crew and extras were already hired, so with the band's blessing, Martin went by himself while the other members attended the funeral. It was raining that day, so instead of using the extras, they had Martin alone on the beach. Parachutes is dedicated to Champion's mother. (thanks, Rich - Llanelli, Wales)
The video was shot at a fast shutter speed to achieve the slow-motion. In order for Martin to sing along, he had to lip-sync to the song played at double speed.
Coldplay was in England recording other tracks for the album while this was being mixed in New York. They hated the results of the mix and flew to New York to make sure they got the sound they were looking for.
ABC Television used this song to promote their shows. The campaign featured bright yellow backgrounds.
This won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. This was nominated for Best Rock Song, but lost to "Drops Of Jupiter" by Train.
When performing this song, Chris Martin used to change the song's melody. However, R.E.M's Michael Stipe advised against it: "Stop doing that. People want to hear the songs the way they know them." The Coldplay vocalist began singing all their songs in a straightforward way.
An acoustic version of Yellow is available on the God Put a Smile Upon Your Face EP, but it is incorrectly labeled as a live version.
The Oracle on Yellow
February 7, 2013 - submitted by Craig Pattison, United Kingdom
Q. Hey Oracle!
So, I came across this. Have you ever heard this version before?! It's really beautiful!!!
My question, where and when is this from? I know the first verse and chorus is how they played it on the more recent MX tour shows, but I never knew there was this full studio version!
It's amazing, thank you. :-))
The Oracle replies:
There are a few acoustic versions of Yellow and not just live.
The first studio version was given away via a newspaper back in 2000. It was from a radio session.
This version you love is from the Every Mother Counts compilation. A beautiful version for a great cause.

Q. I've heard that the song Yellow was influenced in some part by the novel Great Gatsby. I'm torn, because I've read that Chris was inspired by a meteor shower, but at a recent concert, the yellow lights faded to a single green light, just like in the book.
The Oracle replies:
I don't know where you heard it was influenced by The Great Gatsby, but it wasn't.
The story involves Chris singing in the style of Neil Young during their recording session after strumming some chords that he liked.
Speaking of The Great Gatsby, Gatz is a new show that features an enactment of the novel in its entirety - 6 hours of performance!
One of the actors, Scott Shepherd, knows the entire book off by heart. Incredible.

Q. Hello dear Oracle,
This is not so much a question as it is a request. I will soon be going to see Coldplay at the Hollywood Bowl and I always hoped that at a Coldplay concert I would be able to hear the song Yellow, but experience it like seen in videos with giant yellow bouncy balls. So if you could put in a good word for us Cali kids to get to experience that live, that would be fantastic. Thanks. :)
The Oracle replies:
I don't need to put a good word in for you as that will definitely be happening. If you read the review of the first show in Edmonton, you'll see the yellow balloons are still very much a feature of Yellow live.

Q. Last week I went on a geography trip to Studland Bay where the music video for Yellow was filmed - why was this beach, of all beaches chosen?
The Oracle replies:
James Frost (one half of the video's directing team) said it was their producer who suggested it. As is usual with videos, several locations are given as options before a scout of those places are carried out. Studland Bay was actually the first they visited and as soon as they saw it they knew immediately it was the right place to film.

Q. I teach 4th grade in a Quantum learning classroom, and for some reason the beginning of Yellow from the Live 2003 world tour really calms them down in the morning. Is there a studio version of Yellow from the Live 2003 tour? The beginning of the song really helps them focus! It's been a great opportunity to introduce the class to Coldplay. Oracle... can you help me out here?
The Oracle replies:
I take it you mean a CD studio recording of the version of Yellow from the Live 2003 DVD. The only recording of that version of Yellow is live. There is a CD as well as the DVD with 12 tracks lifted from the same shows and that does feature Yellow.
March 17, 2011 - submitted by Kim, Canada
Q. Further to Pedro's question...so the video was not shot in real time?
The Oracle replies:
Although it looks like it was all done in one take, apart from the illusion of time passing quickly, they actually ran through the song five times and it was filmed in an hour.

Q. Hi O! I know you may have asked this before, but I would like to know how was Yellow clip made? How is it possible that in a few minutes the sky turned into a light blue and Chris didn't let footprints on the sand?!
Sorry if it's a repeated question but it's burning my head! Thank you!
PS: I can't wait for the new album!
The Oracle replies:
I have been asked about the video for Yellow before but was shocked to discover from the tag cloud that I haven't answered one since February 2009 - apparently.
Anyway, films/videos/photographs etc. can feature special effects used during shooting or they can be digitally enhanced afterward (removing footprints if necessary though I can see plenty).
In the case of Yellow, after the film was processed it went through another process called gradual grade that gave the impression of the day changing.

Q. Hello Oracle! I am curious about one remix of Coldplay.
I found a version of Yellow called the Alpha Remix. Did Coldplay help create this song or is it an independent song from a DJ (such as Junkie XL)?
Thanks and hope your October is going well!
The Oracle replies:
Well I guess the whole point of a remix is that someone takes a song and puts their spin on it so the band don't get involved in the process. Please note that in my eyes Coldplay did help to "create" it as they wrote the original and that is the fundamental part; a remix is an alternative version so I wouldn't refer to it as "independent". Bands don't necessarily commission remixes by the way.
There have been a few mixes that the band have really liked and gone on to use such as the Yellow Alpha remix (appeared on the Mince Spies CD) and the Thin White Duke remix of Viva la Vida (used as a musical interlude on the last tour).

Q. Hey, Oracle!
In light of Jacob's question about the intro song for the 2003 concerts, I was wondering what the song is that's at the beginning of Yellow, like in the Live 2003 version. Or is it just a sample that was created for that purpose? I've always thought it was really beautiful so if there's a full song then I'd love to hear it!
The Oracle replies:
It was a new extended intro that was indeed created for that purpose. I have mentioned before that Yellow is one of those songs that the band like to play around with live so that it doesn't become boring for the fans and the band - as if eh? You can find it on both the DVD and CD of Live 2003.
November 11, 2009 - submitted by Daniel, Australia
Q. I've noticed that the version of Yellow being played in the tour so far is faster than the album and previous live versions. Any reason for this change in tempo?
The Oracle replies:
As you can imagine when you have a song that you know you are going to be playing for the rest of your career it's good to take a different spin on it every tour. The boys consciously decided to try to keep it interesting for both fans and themselves. They did however ditch an acoustic version... If you look back to the Twisted Logic tour there was a completely different approach then too.

Q. There's quite a bit of internet banter regarding the lyrics of Yellow (throwback, I know). However... I've got to know. Is the correct line "for you I'd bleed myself dry" or "for you I'd plead myself tryin'"?
Please answer soon. In the meantime, I'll be looking at the stars and marveling at how they shine for you. Love to the Oracle.
The Oracle replies:
You'll find the correct lyric - for you I'd bleed myself dry - in our Discography, complete with lyrics. I quite like your alternative though!

Q. Yellow (Hallo).......Watching the video for Yellow , one can easily think it was shot in ONE TAKE. Was it, or is it just cleverly shot?? Well, either way its cleverly shot.....please answer, otherwise am banging my head against the wall here......no wall deserves that!
The Oracle replies:
It was actually all down to clever techniques. It took about an hour to shoot and they ran through the song 5 times (Another interesting bit of information is the track was running at double speed, as was the camera. What you see is the film at its normal speed giving the effect of it looking slightly slower than normal). After the film was processed it went through a process called gradual grade that gave the impression of the day changing.

Q. Hello Oracle!
I was just listening to Yellow by Coldplay and was wondering where they got the idea for that awsome song? Thanx:)
The Oracle replies:
It was actually inspired by a meteor shower that took place during the recording of the album Parachutes. They were at Rockfield Studios (Wales). Take a look at the guest book...

Q. During Yellow, in concert, there are big balloons, like in the next tour? (thanks for the show on BBC and thanks you, Oracle).
The Oracle replies:
The balloons appeared during the last tour and the band don't tend to repeat any effects so you won't be seeing those again. There are other visual delights on this tour but if you loved the big yellow balloons during Yellow, you can see plenty of photos and videos of them online.

Q. On which beach was the video for Yellow filmed?

Q. I saw a film a few years back where Chris and Jonny were discussing the inspiration behind the song 'Yellow'. The camera panned to the Yellow pages and to this day my husband and I still argue over whether this was a wind up or not. Oracle, please clarify.
The Oracle replies:
Whatever you have seen or heard about how Yellow got its name; it is nothing to do with Yellow Pages. I know Chris has said on occasion that it is, but trust me, it isn't.

Q. I am translating a play. There is a line about "my sister watching Coldplay. They are singing that song about the stars." Would you happen to know which song is meant? Thanks
The Oracle replies:
That would be Yellow.
Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow. I came along, I wrote a song for you, And all the things you do, And it was called "Yellow" So then I took my turn, Oh, what a thing to have done, And it was all "Yellow" Your skin Oh, yeah, your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful, Do you know, you know I love you so, You know I love you so. I swam across, I jumped across for you, Oh, what a thing to do. 'Cause you were all "Yellow" I drew a line, I drew a line for you, Oh, what a thing to do, And it was all "Yellow" Your skin, Oh, yeah, your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful, And you know For you I'd bleed myself dry For you I'd bleed myself dry. It's true, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And all the things that you do.

Cotswold Lib Dems condemm cost of library challenge
12:12pm Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News By Freya Leng
A JUDICIAL review into a decision to withdraw funding for ten libraries in Gloucestershire cost the county council almost a quarter of a million pounds.
Liberal Democrats have condemned the £238,317 cost of the legal challenge by the Conservative-run county council as "reckless".
Revised plans to save £1.8m from library services in Gloucestershire were unveiled in January last year following a High Court ruling in November 2011 that the proposed cuts were unlawful.
New proposals were made instead to cut funding to seven county libraries.
Councillor Jeremy Hilton, Liberal Democrat group leader, said: "During a time of great austerity, the costs that have been incurred through this legal challenge was needless, wasteful and nothing short of reckless.
"If the job of reviewing the county's libraries had been done properly from the start and not on the back-of-a-fag-packet then this money could have been better spent on new books for our existing libraries."
But Councillor Mark Hawthorne, Leader of Gloucestershire County Council, said the cost needed to be put into context.
"Gloucestershire's library strategy will save taxpayers over £1.8m," he said. "More than seven times, each year, than this one-off cost.
"This is typical of the Liberal Democrats – they oppose every saving that the coalition government has forced the council to make – but never say anything about where they would find the money to balance the books."

Blue Screen of Death
<humour> (BSOD) The infamous white-on-blue text screen which appears when Microsoft Windows crashes. BSOD is mostly seen on the 16-bit systems such as Windows 3.1, but also on Windows 95 and apparently even under Windows NT 4. It is most likely to be caused by a GPF, although Windows 95 can do it if you've removed a required CD-ROM from the drive. It is often impossible to recover cleanly from a BSOD.
The acronym BSOD is sometimes used as a verb, e.g. "Windoze just keeps BSODing on me today".

Senator Asks For Proof Of Evolution, Discovers He Doesn't Actually Understand What It Is
Wikipedia defines evolution as "the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations." Creationism, on the other hand, is defined as "the religious belief that life, the Earth, and the universe are the creation of a supernatural being."
Key difference: Evolution is part of science. Creationism is part of belief systems.
In Louisiana, a movement to help get creationism taught in science classes hit a snag when this snappy teacher decided to stand up and explain how it isn't actually science. As the state senator starts asking questions, it becomes clear that he doesn't actually know how evolution works...


text: Amarillo, TX - A house in the Bishop Estates neighborhood north of Amarillo was engulfed in a fire Thursday afternoon. The fire started just before 4:00 in the 3100 block of Estates Drive, and officials at the scene believe an electrical problem may have been the cause. No injuries are reported, but the homeowner estimates about $200,000 worth of damage.Fire crews say they were slowed down when the cold temperatures caused some of their equipment to temporarily malfunction.

SHERMAN, TX -- A police chase throughout the city ended in front of the Grayson County Courthouse with two people under arrest, after police say the driver took off from a traffic stop.
It started around 12:30 p.m. when police say an officer nearly had the pickup truck pulled over near the Texoma Educators Federal Credit Union on West Lamar Street. The chase went east, then back west of Highway 75, where at one point, police say the suspect hit another car at Ricketts and Freeman.
Police arrested Roy Sample, 37, and Lacy Adams, 30, after approaching the truck with guns drawn when it stopped in front of Knight Furniture with one flat tire.
"I saw several of them coming up Lamar Street right here, there's 5
or 6 cop cars chasing this one truck and gets up a little further and I
said that's the same guy, that's the same truck that went by a while
ago," says witness Roy Stephenson.
According to police Sgt. D.M. Hampton, each suspect faces several charges including tampering with evidence, after police say they threw drugs out of the truck.

A very nice, long, moderate climb. There is a system of cracks right in the middle of the rock and this one is on the left side of that system. There is one bolt, just above the crack as it angles to the left. It is very old and I don't think it's really needed. At least it was there when I climbed it a few years back. Use the bolt, but don't be fooled into starting on the face. Just keep moving along the crack till you get to the rap slings about 130' from the deck. Easy 5th class climbing up and left to exit, or double rope rappel down if the slings are good.

Governor Scott's call for jobs drove a big tax break for big business. But critics claim one big tax cut has not delivered one new job, and the losers in the deal are the people of Florida.
Former State Representative Rick Kriseman says the tax break gives big companies a bonus for doing what they're already doing.
"Taxpayers ought to be very upset about it," Kriseman said.
It stems from a bill that state lawmakers voted on last year that they had not fully read, and that they passed it in the middle of the night.
"I'd like to make sure we know what's in the bill," Senator Evalynn Lynn said at the time.
"I don't know the substance of this House bill," echoed Rep. Ronda Storms.
They passed the "Single Sales Factor" exemption. Now, any Florida company that spends at least $250 million building things in Florida over two years can get a tax break. They still pay tax on sales, but they don't have to pay a dime of state income tax on their property or payroll.
"This will pay great dividends for the people of Florida," said Senator Thad Altman.
But most companies can't qualify, because they don't have $250 million to spend. So far, only five companies intend to pursue the tax break.
Publix is one of those companies. It qualified by building new stores and facilities. But by email, a spokeswoman said it would have committed to those investments without this tax incentive -- so the tax cut created 'no' new jobs.
The parent company of Florida Power and Light and TECO also qualified, because they're doing hundreds of millions of dollars in maintenance -- everything from building new power lines to replacing equipment at power plants.
"These are programs that are part of our planned maintenance," said spokesman Cherie Jacobs.
In other words, the tax break created no new jobs.
Tampa phosphate company Mosaic qualified by building a new warehouse and a golf resort in Polk/Highlands County.
"We decided to build the resort in 2009," said Mosaic spokesman Russ Schweiss.
That's two years before the single sales factor incentive passed.
And the warehouse?
"We were fully permitted for construction in 2009," Schweiss said. "It's certainly possible we would have moved forward on this project without it, but ultimately there are a number of factors that come into play."
So we cannot verify any new jobs here.
Finally, CSX intends to apply for this cut. It sold a rail line to the state for $432 million, and is using the money to fix up its property.
"They get paid too much, and then they're given the icing on cake -- yet another tax break," said Bill Newton, with the Consumer Action Network.
The rail deal required CSX to upgrade, so once again, the big tax cut sold as a job booster would not actually boost job numbers.
"Who are we really helping?" Kriseman asks.
Kriseman claims lawmakers are trying to help themselves by rewarding big donors. In the past two campaign cycles, those five companies each gave hundreds of thousands in political donations.
"So how do you keep seats? You build your war chest up," Kriseman said.
But we could not tie the donations to this specific tax break, and the donors say they support candidates who support good business
"That can't be viewed as some sort of purchased policy. That is policy the state pursues to remain more competitive," Schweiss said.

Football wraps up preseason camp with a short scrimmage
After seeing three days of practice washed away due to the weather, the JU football team hit the practice field on Saturday morning to wrap up preseason camp.
At issue during Saturday's scrimmage was the depth chart as the second and third string players battled for position on the travel squad for the season opener.
The scrimmage last a little over an hour and the one thing that was certainly decided was the Dolphins have depth at every position for the first time in quite awhile.
"Today was very productive for our younger guys to get some reps so we can do our evaluations of who can best help this team win games," said JU head coach Kerwin Bell. "We wanted them to get comfortable in game situations and we saw a lot of guys step up today."
Preseason camp has seen the Dolphins make large improvements throughout, but there is still work to do.
"I feel like we made big strides in the practices between the first and second scrimmages," said JU offensive tackle Michael Aguilar. "We've gotten better each week, but we still have some small things that we need to work on before the season starts."
With fall camp complete, the Dolphins turn their focus to the season opener at Savannah State next Saturday at 7 p.m.
"I'm excited and every day it builds more and more," said JU safety Jason Wood. "We've got seven days until we play Savannah State and we turn our focus to the season. This is what we signed up for, Saturdays. It's going to be exciting to see what the team is going to be like."

Much in store for Stoneridge mall
Original post made on Mar 2, 2008
If you've frequented the mall over the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed that some stores have closed while others have sprouted up. And the trend will continue.
Since its acquisition last July by Simon Property Group, the shopping plaza, which was formerly owned by the Mills Corporation, has moved in some new tenants and said goodbye to others.

Re: you article about Stoneridge Mall. The paragraph on the Sweetwater Grill closing is written so that it implys that the Cheesecake Factory is also closing. I had 2 people call me to tell me that we could not go to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory because it was closing. I called the restaurant to be sure it was still open - it is!
Thank you for your attention
on Mar 3, 2008 at 6:57 am
Cheesecake Factory is alive and well...and is staying as per the bartender I talked to the other night. It's a possibility that BJ's Brewery/Restaurant may replace the Sweetwater Grill (which was way overdue to close)... so the potential is lookin' good for better restaurants!
on Mar 3, 2008 at 12:34 pm
i am very disapointed in sweet river closing. i've been a patron of there's since i can remember. what a shame.
on Mar 3, 2008 at 2:42 pm
I rarely shop Stoneridge. The only store that lures me in is Sears -- and that's for a major appliance purchase every few years. Too many P-town Stepford Wives and their plastic kids shopping there for my taste.
on Mar 3, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Why so bitter The Mall? Sounds like an insecurity issue. I grew up here and by no means are my parents,my children,or myself considered money rich. I shop at Stoneridge and I don't feel like I shop among Stepford Wives and/or plastic kids.
Reflect and know that self love diminishes hatred towards others.
on Mar 3, 2008 at 5:11 pm
I'm not bitter at all, Me. I am simply saddened at what Pleasanton and most of the Tri-Valley has become.
Too bad the real estate market has gone so South. I'd be sooooo gone otherwise.
on Mar 3, 2008 at 10:18 pm
They should update parts of the mall. I would hate for it look like the old one up in Concord area that was finally updated (the one with a smaller movie theater, that might be gone as well). Some people in the tri valley do act like Stepford Wives or plastic kids as you put them- but who cares? The simple thing to do is to ignore them- you don't go to the mall to please or entertain others. If you enjoy people watching like I do, it can make for an entertaining afternoon, but that's not the point. Laugh it off and move on with life. And it's Sweet River Saloon, haha. I remember going there 20 years ago when I was young for my birthday and really had fun. I'll miss that place!!!(Even though the food wasn't the greatest).
on Mar 4, 2008 at 5:01 am
PToWN94566 -- You suggest laughing off what I see at the mall. Better yet, there are much easier-going places to shop where people are real. Why do it at Stoneridge?
on Mar 4, 2008 at 10:33 am
I hate that place, it's impossible to walk around without being pestered by the people working on the ground floor isles stalls especially the ones pedaling that black sea salt skin care crap.
on Mar 4, 2008 at 11:10 am
on Mar 4, 2008 at 11:45 am
Cholo -- Geeze, lighten up. I'm female myself. I'm only calling them as I see them. Not all the women in town deserve to be labeled at "Stepford." But sadly, the majority of them are starting to head in that direction.
on Mar 4, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Yes I suggest laughing off the annoying people in the mall. If it really gets under your skin that bad, something is off with you. It's useless to get worked up over stuck up people that act "valley-ish". If there is a store in the mall or the same store an hour away, I would suck it up and go to the mall here.
on Mar 4, 2008 at 11:45 pm
There are so boob jobs walking around Pleasanton. It wonders me that only The Mall and I see that.
on Mar 5, 2008 at 5:14 am
PToWN94566 -- I hit Sears and leave. I'm not a Macy's or Nordstrom kinda gal. But that goes without saying given I'm not "Stepford" either. *LOL* BTW, I would never drive an hour to shop. To be honest with you, shopping is not my religion. I make a lot of my "personal" purchases without ever entering a retail store. Thank God for the Internet!
Shelley -- For some, it's hard to see over those plastic boobs, let alone past them! *LMAO*
on Mar 6, 2008 at 2:40 pm
The only thing that annoys me at the mall are those kiosk vendors and rude kids. I also see the fake boobs but who cares? I don't own a pair of those balloons and I shop just fine at Stoneridge. =)
on Mar 11, 2008 at 8:58 am
You people are a joke. listen to your selves you sound like children, try to have an adult conversation if you can.
on Apr 30, 2008 at 11:52 pm
I think it's a good idea to get new business in the mall.I guess the guy at the Sweetriver got tired of dateing the managers. So he's moving on to new pastures. Hopefully the new resturant will have much better food. And yes! Pleasanton has snobs you just have to be yourself and ignore them. As for the plastic kids they belong to the Doc that does all the boob jobs.
on May 29, 2008 at 10:50 am
Thanks God the Sweetriver is closed...Underage teens were being served alchohol there by the wait staff on a regular basis...GOOD its closed.......

Hutton jailed for 15 years
Amanda Hutton has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of the manslaughter of her four-year-old son, Hamzah Khan.
Online parenting forums react to child's starvation
Siobhan Freegard, the founder of Netmums.com - says the reaction amongst her online community to the death of a four-year-old who starved to death was "not again".
Relatives of Hamzah Khan's mother Amanda Hutton - who was today jailed for 15 years, say they blame social services.

Services email sparks Hamzah case review row
Questions have been raised over the extent to which statutory agencies were involved with the mother of four-year-old Hamzah Khan who was starved to death.
The outgoing director of children's services in the city, Kath Tunstall, sent an email to Bradford MPs this morning saying "no serious concerns were reported to the statutory agencies". She added:
[I] can advise you that there was limited involvement from statutory agencies in this case as mum did not want to take up offers of help and no serious concerns were reported to the statutory agencies.
This is not a case where lots of agencies were involved and didn't see the signs, the question is how can this happen and professionals, neighbours, communities not be aware of it and so there will be lessons to be learned.

The father of a four-year-old boy who starved to death by his alcoholic mother has said that it could have been prevented if authorities had approached him.
Aftab Khan told ITV News that the "system has let my son down. They have all let my son down".
Hutton's stepfather 'blames' services over death
The step-father of Amanda Hutton has said social services and other agencies had failed to "look after" four-year-old Hamzah Khan, whose body was discovered at her home almost two years after he died in December 2009.
Mr Jackson added that it was "irrelevant" that Hutton had 'refused' help from services. He later added that he agreed with the sentencing, as she was jailed for 15 years today.
Galloway condemns services email over Hutton case
George Galloway, the Respect MP for Bradford West, where the mother of four-year-old boy Hamzah Khan lived, today condemned an email from the outgoing director of children's services in the city, Kath Tunstall, saying that "no serious concerns were reported to the statutory agencies".
Mr Galloway said he believed this was "in conflict with evidence which was given at the trial".
"But in any event it is deplorable that Ms Tunstall should try to wash her, and her department's hands, of any involvement or culpability in advance of the serious case review into what went wrong," he said.
Review held after agencies 'involved' in Hamzah case
A Serious Case Review has taken place as the alcoholic mother who starved her four-year-old son to death was jailed for 15 years today.
Paul Greaney QC, prosecuting, said various agencies' activities did not result in Hamzah Khan's body being discovered. Mr Greaney added:
The history of what then occurred is complex. Social services, education services and the police were all involved to a greater or lesser extent.
All of that demands attention and explanation, and we understand that a Serious Case Review has been conducted and has concluded.
Hamzah's father 'did little' to help his children
The court heard how salesman Tariq Khan was a "mummy's boy" who acted out of "misplaced loyalty" to Hutton. And the judge questioned the role of Aftab Khan - the father of all of Hutton's eight children.
The jury heard how Aftab Khan subjected Hutton to domestic violence over many years and in 2008, after he was arrested for an assault on her, told police that Hamzah was undernourished and claimed he was going to inform social services. But there is no record that call was ever made.
– Judge Roger Thomas QC
Your partner and father of your children knew about your drinking and your lack of care of the children. He in fact seems to have done little in all reality to address your conduct so as to improve the welfare of his children.
Tariq Khan asks to be left alone
Tariq Khan left Bradford Crown Court in a media scrum after being given a two-year suspended sentence for preventing the burial of his little brother Hamzah. He refused to answer reporters' questions, although he did tell Calendar's Jon Hill that he just wished to be 'left alone for a while'.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is familiar with this crop of draft prospects because he spent the last season coaching college football players and not just scouting them.
Carroll said recently that he feels Tim Tebow will be a first round pick, according to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network.
Pete Carroll says he can't see a QB of Tim Tebow's stature falling out of the first round.
The Seahawks traded for QB Charlie Whitehurst so the thought is that they're not in the market for a quarterback in the first two rounds.
However, if Tebow falls into the second round, it seems as if Carroll would see him as a great value.
