Traveler Reviews
Château de Roussan
Located on the outskirts of St. Remy, this 4-star hotel occupies a charming and elegant 17th-century château. During your stay, stroll through the surrounding parklands, which encompass more than 15 acres and offer arresting views of the Alpilles range. Relax in the tastefully decorated library, which houses a collection of rare 19th-century books. And savor Provençal specialties in the on-site restaurant, which features a vaulted ceiling and a garden terrace. The hotel's air-conditioned rooms are comfortably equipped with cable/satellite televisions, minibars, in-room safes and private baths with showers and hair dryers. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel.
Hostellerie Le Beffroi
This small, family-run hotel dates back to 1554. Since each room is uniquely furnished and much of the furniture is original, it still has the feel of a private home. Fittingly, Hostellerie is located in the medieval section of the town, on a cobblestone street.
Though the hotel does not have air-conditioning, fans can be placed in the rooms on request.
Hotel Aquabella
Ideally situated in the heart of the old town of Aix-en-Provence, at the foot of the ancient fortifications and in the center of the markets of Provence, Hotel Aquabella offers you an exceptional environment for your active vacation. When you're not exploring the lively city of Aix, unwind in the hotel's spa or heated pool. Each room of the Hotel Aquabella is decorated in Provençal style and all are fully equipped with air-conditioning, satellite TV, direct telephone, mini-bar and furnished with bathrobes and slippers.
Hotel La Magnaneraie
Hotel La Magnaneraie is located in the historic town of Villeneuve les Avignon, less than 2 miles from Avignon. Surrounded by a verdant park, this 15th-century former residence of cardinals combines the charm of an ancient mansion house with all the modern comforts, and provides an elegant and peaceful haven after an exciting day of bicycling. Enjoy the beautifully decorated common areas, including a restaurant featuring many regional specialties and a spacious lounge and bar, as well as an outdoor garden with a swimming pool. Each of the 32 rooms offers air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, Internet access, an in-room safe and private bath with shower, bathrobe, slippers and hairdryer.
Hotel Westminster
Set in the heart of Nice on the Promenade des Anglais, this charming hotel opened in1880. Its Great Hall displays original Florentine paintings, and its Belle Epoque past is evident in its monumental staircase.
The hotel has access to a private beach across the street at a daily charge of about 20 euros/$28 USD.

The Patriots' defense has received a nice lift from Dane Fletcher since he returned from injury in Week 14 after missing six games. A second-year pro who went undrafted out of Montana State, Fletcher has played outside and in the middle this season after playing defensive end in college. He played in every snap in the Week 16 win over Miami, according to ESPN Boston. "The more you can play that position, the more confidence that you're going to gain. I'd say you've noticed just in (Fletcher's) play, it looks like he's played a little more assertively, a little more aggressively," Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio told reporters this week. The way we hear it, Fletcher is a hardworking player who brings a nice blitzing dynamic to the defense — he has six QB hits this season. He is also a key special-teams player. Brandon Spikes, though, is still the starter when he returns from injury, we hear. Spikes is more physical and a better run stopper, but Fletcher will have a role on defense, as he has emerged as a key contributor.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- Attorneys for a former University of Virginia lacrosse player are returning to court to defend him against charges he killed his ex-girlfriend.
George Huguely V's lawyers are due back in court Thursday to continue chipping away at medical testimony that prosecutors say implicates the Chevy Chase, Md., man in the May 2010 slaying of Yeardley Love. The suburban Baltimore woman and Huguely had a volatile relationship that prosecutors say ended in Love's death when Huguely battered her in her Charlottesville apartment.
An autopsy concluded she died of blunt force trauma. Defense attorneys presented their first witnesses on Wednesday after the prosecution rested its case.
Huguely has pleaded innocent to charges of first-degree murder and other counts.

PASCO, Wash. -- The holidays can be a tough time to maintain our weight and waistlines, but more than 500 active dieters are finding success through a program called Ideal Protein at the Lourdes Health and Wellness Center in Pasco.
The French protein program started in the area three and half years ago, and Lourdes has clients ranging from those who wish to lose 10 pounds, to those who need to lose 200. "We're giving you the adequate amount of protein that you need to sustain the muscle that you already have. You can do this diet no matter your age, gender, weight that you need to lose. The diet will work if you do it correctly," said Tammie Shreve the weight management supervisor at Lourdes Health and Wellness Center in Pasco.
65 year old Jackie McAndrew is diabetic and takes insulin. Before Ideal Protein, she had trouble standing, walking and doing anything without her walker. Today, 11 months into the diet, she is down 124 pounds with 75 more to go.
"I can walk with my walker about every place. I can sleep. I have more energy, and I can go downstairs again," McAndrew said.
"Ideal Protein makes it very easy. They give you that list and as long as you stick to that list and you see results so quickly. You want to stick to it. You're excited to get up in the morning and weigh in," says Holly Kimmell who has been doing the program for 10 months and lost 104 pounds.
For Holly, her health was a priority. In October of 2006, she had lap band surgery and as a result lost 50 pounds. However, she said no one told her how to eat properly and she ended up sick and often regurgitating the food back up. Holly regained the weight. She said Ideal Protein helps her eat healthy and her stomach ulcers have since healed.
"I'm learning completely new habits. I don't even want all the mochas and cookies I've had before," said Kimmell. Besides feeling better, Kimmell also ended up decreasing her medication intake for her hormones and thyroid.
Ideal Protein does cost a significant amount of money, so it is a commitment. $299 starting fee for your first week of food, shakers and one month supply of vitamins and supplements. For Kimmell, it was an investment in her health. "Think of what my medical costs will be if I don't lose weight."
Holly's husband Mark Kimball also joined Ideal Protein. He lost 75 pounds and dropped from a 48 size pants to a 38. Mark says it dropped his blood pressure significantly and has allowed him to do his job better and move around freely.
Shreve says on average, after starting Ideal Protein, women tend to lose 2-3 pounds a week while men tend to lose a little bit more, 4-6 pounds a week. Lourdes Health and Wellness holds a seminar for those interested in learning more, to get more information, click here.

Maladera castanea (Arrow).
[Phylum Arthropoda: Class Insecta: Order Coleoptera: Family Scarabaeidae]
Asiatic garden beetle (AGB) was introduced from Japan in the 1920's. It is most common in northeastern United States from New England to Ohio and down into South Carolina.
Larvae occasionally attack turf but seem to prefer a variety of roots from weeds, flowers and vegetables. The adults feed on over 100 species of plants, preferring flowers of asters, dahlias, mums, roses and the leaves of a variety of trees and vegetables.
Damage Symptoms:
The grubs cause typical damage to turf, wilting and irregular patches of dead turf. Heavy infestations are uncommon but have been known to occur. Generally, the deeper feeding habit of asiatic garden beetle grubs results in less damage to turf than from other species. With adequate rainfall or irrigation, populations of 20 per ft² can be tolerated. Grubs prefer roots of other plants, therefore, they may be clustered around weedy areas especially near orange hawkweed. Grubs may also be concentrated next to flower beds where plants preferred by the adults are located. The adults feed at night, stripping foliage off of plants leaving a ragged appearance. They do not skeletonize like Japanese beetles. Flowers often have the petals eaten off.
Description of Stages:
The stages are typical of a scarab having a single generation per year. Since this beetle is rather small and larval stages are likewise small.
The eggs are laid in clusters of 3 to 15 loosely held together by a gelatinous material. The individual eggs are oval and about 3/64 inch (1.0 mm) long. After absorbing water the eggs become spherical.
Newly hatched larvae are about 1/16 inch (1.4 mm) long and have light brown head capsules. Full grown larvae are 3/8 to 1/2 inch (15 to 18 mm) long when stretched out. The grubs are commonly identified by the enlarged, light colored, maxillary palps (appendages just behind the mandibles) which appear to be in constant motion. AGB grubs can be identified by the longitudinal anal slit and transverse curved row of brown spines making up the raster.
The pupae rest in the last larval skin and are about 5/16 to 3/8 inch (8 to 10 mm) long. At first they are white and gradually turn tan.
The adults are 5/16 to 3/8 inch (7 to 10 mm) long and broadly wedge shaped. They are a chestnut brown and often have a slight iridescent, velvety sheen. The abdomen protrudes slightly from under the wing covers and the undersurface of the thorax has an irregular covering of short yellow hairs. The hind legs are distinctly larger and broader than the others.
Life Cycle and Habits:
Adult beetles may be active from late June to the end of October, but most of the adults are found from mid-July to mid-August. The adults emerge at night and fly actively when temperatures are above 70 F. When the temperature drops below 70 F, adults tend to walk up the plants or grasses to feed rather than fly. The adults are strongly attracted to lights. During the day, beetles hide in the soil around favored food plants. After feeding several nights the females begin laying eggs in small clusters. The females tend to search out turf and pastures for egg laying and generally deposit an average of 60 eggs one to two inches deep in the soil. Eggs are laid over several weeks and normally hatch in 10 days during summer temperatures.
Young larvae dig to the soil surface where they feed on roots and decomposing organic material. Most first instar larvae are found in August and early September. Second instars are found in September and many do not reach third instar until the following spring. About half the population overwinter as second instars and the remainder as partially developed third instars. As cool October temperatures arrive, the larvae burrow down 8 to 17 inches to pass the winter.
The larvae return to the soil surface in the spring and all seem to mature by mid-June at which time they pupate 1.5 to 4 inches in the soil in compacted earthen cells. The pupal stage is relatively short, lasting 8 to 15 days. The adult remains in the old pupal skin, changing from white to the mature chestnut brown, for a few days before digging to the surface.
Control Approaches:
Cultural Control - Habitat Modification -
Since the eggs require moisture for development, restricting irrigation in late June into early August may significantly reduce survival.
Natural Control - Milky Diseases -
Milky diseases caused by strains of Bacillus popilliae are known but commercial preparations do not contain Asiatic garden beetle-specific strains.
Biological Control - Entomophagous Nematodes -
The insect parasitic nematode, Steinernema glaseri Steiner, was used before 1940 and had considerable promise but this agent was not developed further because of problems of rearing and expense. This nematode may be economically available in the future. Commercially available products containing strains of S. carpocapsae have been marginally effective. Preparations containing Heterorhabditis spp. seem to be the most effective of the currently available nematodes. Nematodes should be applied when white grubs are in the second instar. Irrigation before and after nematode application with 1/4 inch of water minimum increases efficacy.
Chemical Control - Insecticides -
The adults can be monitored using 15 Watt black light traps. Trap counts can be plotted on a graph of numbers versus date. When the trap capture has decreased for ten days, mark the date of peak activity. The grubs will be most susceptible to controls about six weeks after this peak. Grub infestations should be evaluated as early as possible by monitoring, accurate identification and mapping of infested areas. The standard golf course cup cutter is a convenient tool to survey for infestations which are usually concentrated around shrub and flower beds. If care is exercised, sampling can be done with minimal damage to the turf. Once removed, samples can be examined carefully on the spot. Each soil and turf core is placed back in the hole made by the sampler. The sample does not have to be completely torn apart to determine the number of grubs present. If the soil is dry, it is advisable to add water to the sample hole before replacing the sample to improve the turf survival. The standard cup cutter is 4-1/4 inch in diameter. Therefore, to convert the number of grubs found per sample to the number of grubs per square foot, multiply the average per sample by a factor of 10.15.
Golf Course - AGBs rarely attack the turf of roughs. They are most numerous near flower beds and other landscaped sites that have small trees or shrubs. A few cup changer samples taken from the turf surrounding these areas should reveal any infestation.
Lawns, Grounds and Athletic Fields - Sufficient samples should be taken to determine the location and severity of grub infestation (i.e., mapping). Samples taken on a 10 foot grid pattern (larger distances for very large lawns) is often recommended. For detecting AGBs, concentrate samples along flower beds and landscape islands containing trees and shrubs. While using a cup changer works well, using a knife or spade to cut V-shaped cuts in the turf which are pulled back, examined for grubs and replaced, also works well. Though less precise, this method will provide a general map of infested areas.
Hand Lens. The hand lens is a most useful tool for identifying insects in the turfgrass environment. Use of a hand lens also projects a professional image to those nearby. Generally, lenses of 10X are adequate for most purposes, including identification of white grub species.
Many books and extension publications on grub management often mention "population thresholds." Thresholds are the numbers of pest insects present in a given area (usually per square foot) that warrant control. The principle behind using thresholds is to reinforce the IPM principle that application of a pesticide is not always warranted simply if pests are present. Pests must be present at populations high enough to eventually cause damage.
The generally accepted level for AGB is 10 to 15 grubs/ft², before control is warranted. However, well maintained turfgrass with regular irrigation and fertilization can "tolerate" much higher grub populations. On the other hand, moles, skunks and racoons often find less than 6 to 8 grubs per square foot sufficient to dig up the turf in search of them.
Thresholds must be adjusted for each turf situation. For golf courses, damage in roughs is more tolerable than damage in fairways, and damage in fairways is more tolerable than damage on tees and greens. Likewise, some course or home owners demand high turf standards while others may tolerate some periodic, localized damage.
Targeted Treatments.
As with most soil-inhabiting insects, insecticides are most effective when small stage grubs are the target. For AGBs, the small first instar grubs are present July through early August, unless a severe drought has occurred. In this case, the adults may delay egg laying and sampling should be performed about four weeks after normal soil moistures return. Applying an insecticide at this time, followed by sufficient irrigation to move the insecticide to the grubs usually yields satisfactory results.
First instar grubs molt into second instars that feed from mid-August through September. These middle stage larvae are also very susceptible to control, but if not controlled, turf damage may begin to appear by mid-September. From late September to October, AGB grubs reach the third instar stage and are 30 to 50 times the body weight of the newly hatched, first instars. By this time, significant damage may be caused by skunks and racoons who dig up infested turf to feed on the grubs.
Curative Treatments.
Insecticide applications made in late September and October yield poor control of third instar grubs. At this time, insecticides known to have rapid action and are least affected by thatch binding are effective. In late April and May, AGB grubs return to the upper soil level to briefly feed. Though grub damage may be evident at this time, skunk and racoon damage is usually the major problem. If necessary, insecticides with rapid action may be used.
Preventive Treatments.
The recent labeling of long residual (>120 days) chloronicotinyl and diacylhydrazine insecticides has made it possible to obtain grub control with a single application in May, June, July or August. Depending upon the time of application, some of these new insecticides simultaneously provide control of a broad range of insect pests other than grubs. Unlike carbamate or organophosphate insecticides, these new materials have low inpact on beneficial organisms that live in the turf. Both liquid and granular formulations are available. Some require posttreatment irrigation, others do not. Read and follow label instructions for optimum results.
Preventive treatments are most warranted where the risk of grub infestation is greatest. Recent research has shown that turf areas that have experienced a damaging grub infestation are more likely to experience a reoccurring damaging infestation. Likewise, certain golf course areas and lawns in neighborhoods often have reoccurring infestations. These are likely candidates for preventive treatments.

Most other inflatables are good for whitewater paddling OR flatwater touring - but not both.
Whitewater inflatables are "wet-only" boats. They drain excess whitewater in wet conditions but leave you wet and cold in flatwater
Flatwater inflatables - dry only boats - have no drain valves so they're useless if you get into rough water.
Ordinary Rigid Kayaks and Canoes are:
Computer-aided design and state-of-the-art fabrication allows a reduction in weight
(9-12lbs) while improving structural strength.
Now with 16 drain valves for super-fast self-bailing in white water. Also
features, removable slide skeg for improved tracking on open water. These new Explorers are the "pound for pound" champions capable of handling any type of adventure.
What do you do when the placid river you're kayaking becomes a free-for-all of rapids?
Drains OPEN: the craft bails itself through the 16 large, evenly spaced, convertible drain valves.
Drains CLOSED: they don't let a drop of water in so you stay comfortable and your cargo stays dry.
In flat water, slide on the large, removable skeg to keep the explorer on its intended course. The skeg limits the sideways deviation called yaw that comes from paddling, allowing for greater efficiency and speed. Ideal for those long treks across wide, scenic lakes renown for placid beauty.
The new Explorer Kayak is tough as nails and rugged enough to conquer any
boulder strewn rapids. Stem to stern, it's constructed of super light and super
strong 1,000 denier polyester-supported high-pressure fabric. The new state of
the art design incoporates electronically welded seams and a
double floor system, making the Explorer as tough as "crocodile hide".
Would you hit an inflatable boat with a claw hammer? We hit the 1000 denier hull material in our Sea Eagle boats with a claw hammer .... with the sharp claw end.
The Sea Eagle reinforced hull material can take this incredible pounding ... so you don't need to sweat bumping into the dock now and then.
The toughest off-road vehicles have skid plate protection underneath; In the same way, the Explorer Kayak has two separate floors for double protection where you most need it:
The Explorer Kayak's super-tough hide and wet-or-dry self-bailing drain valves are just two of the ways this boat flaunts its snotty, "bring it on" attitude. Integrated bow and stern spray skirts
keep you dry while elastic rope lacing provides convenient tie-down points.
Each comes complete with hull, seats, two double-ended paddles, full instructions, inflation pump, repair kit, and convenient carry bag.
We're confident that you'll love our Sea Eagle products - so we're putting our money where our mouth is.
Order a Sea Eagle today, and you'll get to try it for 180 days from the day you receive your boat, RISK FREE.
If you're not totally happy with your boat, just return it in good condition for a full refund of your purchase price.
Our Sea Eagle boats are covered for a full three years against manufacturer's defects ... from bow to stern.
We can afford to offer this unprecedented two-part guarantee because of our 46 year experience in designing and selling inflatable boats. We know quality products, and we stand behind them.

Public History Fellowship
For the past two years, the Public History Program at Loyola has coordinated the Cuneo Public History Fellowship. With the support of the Provost's Office, the program dedicates one graduate fellowship a year to the preservation of history at Loyola at Cuneo Mansion and Gardens and the interpretation of that history to the public.
As part of this effort, past Cuneo Public History Fellows have prepared a detailed written history of the property, which will move toward publication during the 2012-13 academic year. Fellows have also prepared tours of the property, curriculum materials for school groups, and a National Register of Historic Places nomination (not yet submitted).
Current Projects
The 2012-13 Cuneo Public History Fellow, Laura Johns, a Master of Arts candidate, will work on the following projects:
Hawthorne Mellody Farm Exhibit: Help prepare an exhibit on Hawthorne Mellody Farm, telling the story of a family attraction that included a petting zoo and exhibits on innovative methods of modern dairy technology. The exhibit will be displayed in a room within the mansion.
Inventory of Artifacts: Take a systematic inventory of all artifacts in the mansion. Ms. Feller will work with a second history graduate fellow, Massie O'Malley.

BEREA, Ohio — Hire him a driver.
Find him a mentor.
Remind him of the ramifications of his thoughtless actions on his football family.
But dont cut Greg Little now.
Thats what many Browns fans wanted after the receiver was stopped by the Cleveland police at Elm Street and Riverbed Avenue at 1 a.m. Monday and cited for stop sign and change of course violations, as well as driving under a suspended license. The Browns returned Sunday night from Baltimore, where a 14-6 loss to the Ravens dropped them to 0-2.
Faithful followers wanted Browns first-year coach Rob Chudzinski, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, to make an example of Little, a serial offender. This marked his fourth traffic violation in Northeast Ohio since April 13, when he was charged with drag racing on the Jennings Freeway and told police hed been driving 127mph in a 55-mph zone. Add to that his 93 parking tickets at the University of North Carolina and he seems to have a reckless sense of entitlement.
It does not appear that Chudzinski and the Browns front office will capitulate to the fans wishes, although Little, 24, could be fined. Chudzinski said Monday any penalty would be kept in house, which wouldnt seem to indicate a change in his playing time. He planned to speak with Little on Monday afternoon.
Alcohol has not proven to be involved in any of Littles citations. His continued offenses show us more about his immaturity, poor judgment and lack of regard for his teammates. But that sounds like another of Chudzinskis problem children, tight end Kellen Winslow, whom Chudzinski coached with the Browns during 2004.
Chudzinski is trying to reach several Browns who have issues on and off the field, including receiver Josh Gordon, returning this week from a two-game suspension for violating the leagues substance-abuse policy.
I think weve made progress in a lot of areas with a lot of guys, Chudzinski said. You just have to keep chipping away. The guys who have ability, the guys who have character, the guys who want to be good and want to be great will get that. And eventually they do.
If the Browns eventually become fed up with Little, his dropped passes likely would be at the top of their list, not his DMV report. In two games, Little has been targeted 22 times, the most on the team, but he has only eight receptions for 59 yards. Sunday at Baltimore, he dropped two passes during the fourth quarter.
ProFootballFocus.com charges Little with three drops this season (one Sunday), nine during 2012 and 14 in 2011. It charts the number of times receivers are thrown at, not targets like the NFL. According to its figures, Little has caught the ball 56percent of the time he has been thrown at during his career, which seems sub-par for a second-round pick (2011).
The Browns have to be frustrated that Little worked hard during the offseason to improve, but he hasnt produced when it counts. He spent time away from Berea with Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden. Little also sought inspiration from such unusual sources as former NBA star Alonzo Mourning, whom he spent two hours with over lunch during last seasons bye week.
Ive seen guys improve, Chudzinski said Monday. From his standpoint, its not for the lack of work ethic. Its a matter of getting it done in the game situation and gaining confidence in himself. You keep working at it, you keep working at it, you keep working at it, and finally you break through.
Chudzinski does not seem ready to give up on Little and neither am I. The Browns have one of the weakest receiving corps in the NFL. Little would live up to his name on the trade market, unlikely to garner even a fourth-round pick. He is a big target (6-foot-3, 225 pounds) who doesnt mind blocking. While one college recruiter told me Little lied to him all the way up until signing day, and Little sat out the 2010 season at North Carolina after taking money from an agent, he has been a personable young man who answers questions thoughtfully during his time with the Browns.
In Gordons absence, he has been forced into the No.1 role, which he obviously cant handle. On a playoff-contending team, he probably would be the third or fourth receiver.
But Little should be coming into his own during his third year and thats not happening. I understand fans frustration. Although less of a diva, he has a little Braylon Edwards in him.
But with no capable replacements available (Mohamed Massaquoi or Brian Robiskie, anyone?), Chudzinski might keep Little around until the end of the season and hope he literally gets a grip. By then Little might have played his way or driven his way out of Cleveland.

Heavenly White Cake Chef Ann Blackwood ~ Kalahari Resorts
Collette Peters
I love the taste of this delicious, simple cake. Brown Sugar gives it a caramel flavor that never disappoints. Egg whites make the batter light, but butter adds richness. You can also use this as a basic cake to flavor many ways.
8 ounces all-purpose flour
8 ounces cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
10 ounces packed brown sugar
11 ounces white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup egg whites, at room temperature
1 ½ cups of milk, at room temperature
Serves 20
Lemon Cake
Stir in the zest and juice of 2 lemons after the flour and milk have been added.
Mocha Cake
Add 1 cup strong cooled espresso and 8 ounces melted but cool unsweetened chocolate. Add these after you add the egg whites
Almond Cake
Add ½ cup almond paste when you cream the butter and sugar. Add 2 teaspoons almond flavoring along with the vanilla.
Hazelnut Cake
Add 1 cup praline paste and 2 teaspoons hazelnut flavoring when you cream the butter and sugar together.
Coconut Cake
Add 1 cup grated coconut after the milk and the flour have been added.

Summary: I've owned several Kodak digital cameras over the past 5 years ranging the full rainbow of quality. I purchased this Canon when my last DX Kodak had battery issues, and breaking plastic parts due to poor design and cheap materials. I'm never going back. The Canon SD600 has excellent build quality and materials, a decent battery charge, incredibly compact yet feels rugged (an honest pocket camera), but the image quailty is way above anything I've seen from Kodak. The color rendering, crispness, and automatic exposure and ISO is all excellent - you have to work to take a bad picture with this one. I'm very pleased with this camera after a frustrating experience of my Kodak DX only lasting two years. Menu is 'bare' if you are national geographic photographer, for the 99% rest of us mortals, you will find it well thought out and easy to navigate after the first day.

Perfect for me. Great price vs features
by akrn on January 3, 2007
Pros: Autoupright, Small, great pics, video. Color effects.ISO 800
Cons: usb port is difficult to acess, only plastic moving part of otherwise all metal body.
Summary: Great for my purposes. I have it for one month now, and have taken more than 1000 pictures (new 2Gb sd card!) already.

Summary: Great for my purposes. I have it for one month now, and have taken more than 1000 pictures (new 2Gb sd card!) already.
1. Small. Works great due to small form factor with newer sd cards.
2. I like the auto-upright function for pictures. Basically if you tilt the camera 90 degrees the picture automatically turns upright when you pull into the computer. This feature is unique to canon I think and works great with picassa.google.com to make web albums. That one feature has helped me save atleast an hour of not having to rotate pictures in a photo editor while creating a 100 pic web album from about 800 holiday pics. I was very trigger happy, and was pleasantly surprised it took less time to make and album and email it to relatives.
3. Auto color sensing feature. You can set one color to "pop out" of an otherwise black and white photo. Makes people think you are very photoshop savvy when you only spend one extra minute to do it in the camera. There is no loss of fidelity also as you dont have to reprocess a jpeg.
4. ISO 800. This mode is very useful for low light. Somewhat grany pictures but great light. I guess in bright light it gives even brighter pics so I ended up leaving it always in the 800 mode. Nice new feature, not there in older canons.
5. Great video. Nice sized, video, can project with reasonable quality on my home theater projection system. (I am saving tons of time not having to deal with the computer and studio programs)
1. USB Port Cover. It is a metal piece, but it is attached with a plastic thingy, which you have to pull out before you can open it. I am being very careful with it as I am very worried this will break with successive use.
No other cribs yet.
Go buy it. I am hard to please and this one did it for me. I returned 3 other cameras this BF season before settling on this one. I highly recommend it.

Summary: I have or presently own many digital cameras from the onset of the digital era and have been taking pictures for over 50 years I also have professional training. I find this camera to be of the highest quality. I view this genre of cameras to be a point and shoot variety and it has met or surpassed my expectations. It is the only one with a seperate viewfinder (essential for outdoor shooting). The manual was simple to understand and follow. The onscreen menu is easy and most important the picture quality is superior. Even my wife who does not like to take pictures would have fun with this. A solid 10!

A battery meter would be nice, but at this price -- I paid $210 total -- I won't complain.Updated
I carry this with me everywhere, so I'm always ready to grab a shot. The minor flaw of no battery meter is no real problem. Just buy an extra battery and swap them frequently.

Summary: I purchased this camera because I needed I wanted a model I could place in my pocket and because Canon always receives the best praise. I had previously used a Canon Powershot S50 and was delighted by its feature set and image quality even though it was a relatively old camera. But I must say I was disappointed with the SD600. The pictures just weren't that good. The camera was way too prone to blur. The flash left everything washed out, noticeably moreso than other Canons I've used. On the bright side, the camera is small, stylish, and boasts a large LCD and Canon's easy-to-navigate controls. I suggest purchasing this camera only if you want to have a camera that fits in a pocket and can be handy at all times. Otherwise, I'd look for another model (or consider one of the new SD's that uses image stabilization).

Summary: ok, bought this camera in the UK while i was living there for about 2 months (its called the ixus 60 there). served me very well. basically fell in love with the quality of the photos and the function and features of the camera. took it everywhere with me.
i get home, and its fine, and i fly to NY. worked fine on the plane, but i'm about to take my first picture there, the lens jams. well, that sucked because i wasn't able to take any pictures while i was out there.
so i gotta get this thing fixed, so i call canon, they ask me a few questions, try to troubleshoot it - no go. so they have me send it in, but are kinda uncertain if they'll honor the euro warranty in the usa. so i sent it in anyway (they made it really easy - just download, print and fill out a form and put it in the box with the camera). i check my status of the camera online and it said it was warranty work. i was stoked. got the camera back, brand new lens (old one had a dent in it from being dropped a few days after i got it), nicely packaged 2-day fedex.
camera is back. only took about 10 or 11 days from when i shipped it out for it to get back to me. the only thing i paid for was shipping it there, cost me like $4.30 or something from san jose, CA to IL.
anyways, besides that. there are too many rad features to list, and i've already written a lot so i'll let the rest of the reviews do this camera justice.
i give this camera and canon as a company a 10. they deserve it. i feel like any other company just wouldn't do this. if the warranty hadn't been honored, the repair would have cost me nearly $140. thats like nearly 1/2 the value of the camera.
sorry, i'm ranting again.

Excellent small digital camera
by Brons2 on August 9, 2006
Pros: Great photo quality, high ISO settings, long battery life
Cons: Slider is easy to inadvertently set to movie rather than still photo

Summary: I'm a avid cyclist, and I needed a small digital camera that would easily fit in the back of my bicycle jersey on a recent bike tour in Colorado. I originally set a budget of $200 for camera and memory card. After reading many, many reivews and trying out several potential candidates at the local retailers, I decided on the SD600.
Some of the things that this camera had that others did not were: fast shutter response, fast picture save to memory (this was very important to me), lithum ion rechargeable battery, ISO800 mode, large LCD AND manual viewfinder. And of course mostly good to excellent reviews.
Bought the camera at Fry's as I needed it that day since I was leaving for Colorado the next day. Paid $346 for the camera, and also picked up a 2GB SD card that came free with an extra 512MB. So, 2.5GB for $69. With tax and everything it was $453 out the door. So much for that budget.
I have always bought cheap digital cameras in the past. I was immediately impressed by the vastly higher quality of shots I was able to take with this camera, even in low light situations. With lesser cams, low light pics are often pointless. Before leaving for Colorado I downloaded some of my pics to my computer and they looked stunning on my monitor (ViewSonic P225f, 22" flat CRT, 1280x1024 resolution).
Made a nice find at REI, a Timbuk2 carrying case that fit the camera perfectly and has a large vecro strap in the back. This allowed me to strap the case to the handlebars on my bike, making it easy to take on-the-fly photos.
The camera performed perfectly in Colorado. I was able to take many pictures while riding, although one drawback emerged. If you're not careful, the function slider can end up in movie mode instead of picture mode. I guess it probably slid over when I was taking it out of the case. I ended up taking at least 7 inadvertent movies on my 471 mile, 6 day bicycle trek. On the flip side, the quality of the movies is excellent when downloaded and viewed on the computer. With the 2GB card I could take up to a 16 minute movie, which is cool.
Battery life was great, I charged it the first day I had it, and then took at least 200 pictures in all lighting conditions before having to recharge again on the road in Colorado.
BTW, downloading pictures is a breeze. I haven't even taken the CD or the cable out of the box as the camera uses the same cable type to hook up to the comptuer that my blackberry does, so I just use that instead. You can look at all your pics in a folder in XP without having to install the software, so I don't know what all is on the included CD.
Overall I am really, really happy with my purchase. I am super glad that I did not cheap out this time. The difference between this camera and lesser ones is pretty noticable even for a novice like myself. If you want a small camera that takes great pictures with no unnecessary complications and no performance compromises, this is the one.

Superb ultracompact point-and-shoot
by spencertbred on June 24, 2006
Pros: Sharp, saturated photos; quality build, size
Cons: None really, just some nitpicks: a little shutter lag, uneven flash, shortish battery life

Summary: I bought this great little camera almost two weeks ago and have enjoyed every minute of use. I bought it to sort of replace my 3 year-old Canon A80, which was getting left home more and more because of its bulk. I travel a lot and wanted a quality ultracompact that would take pictures of the same caliber (or better) as my A80, but be much more pocket-friendly. I considered a number of cameras: Canon SD4xx/5xx/6xx, Sony's T series, Casio's Z series, and Panasonic's FX01. I went with the SD600 for its photo quality, build, optical viewfinder, and being the Goldilocks for size: not too big, not too small, just right.
Thoughts so far:
The SD600 is has a nice little heft to it but is not too heavy, and felts like it's been machined out one piece of metal. For such a small device it feels nice and solid in hand. One-handed operation is fairly comfortable; though the case is a little on the slippery side. I see I'll have to be careful with battery/card cover: it's the one thing that feels delicate. The buttons are large enough for my average-sized male hands.
The camera starts up very quickly, and shutter lag is negligible under most conditions. Turning off the nine-point autofocus (AiFA), which leaves on the centered AF, speeds things up a little. Flash is strong in the center of the shot, but regardless of zoom, weak on the sides. Fleshtones on the whole are rendered warm and natural, but again, it can be a little harsh in the center. Redeye is present as often as not, but it's better than I expected. The flash cycles fairly quickly with a charged battery. Battery life is OK: about 140 shots in fine mode, some flash use, and heavy LCD use. Thank you Canon for making a small flat charger whose prongs fold flat!
While this ELPH's LCD is not stunning like some of its competitors, resolution and brightness are satisfactory in all but the harshest sunlight. Bearing in mind this is an ultracompact, the viewfinder is decent and a reason why I chose this over the SD630, Casios, and Sonys.
I am very pleased with the photos this little guy is delivering. There're enough scene modes, and the automatic settings produce consistent results. The camera's manual controls are somewhat limited, but it is a point-and-shoot after all. Still, there's enough manual control to improve on the some of the auto modes and get more shots. I've found the white balance modes rather useless but surprisingly have had better and even more natural results using the special color modes. In the auto modes, colors are nicely saturated and accurately rendered. Focus time seems about average. Autofocus with or without AiAF is precise, so images are crisp without looking 'hard.' Contrast and detail are very good. In the 4x6's and 5x7's I've printed out, I'm sure a trained eye would see some issues, but what counts is that my eye is delighted with the results!
In making up my mind, video quality was not a consideration. After playing around with it though, I like what I see on the LCD, but I don't have enough experience with video to comment one way or another.
This Canon is the best compromise for me: excellent photos, solid construction, and very pocket- and travel-friendly. Battery life could be better. That's true of alot of electronic products, but I can live with it because the battery charger is very compact. All in all, this camera has met my expectations and has not disappointed me at all. In fact, it's been a lot of fun to use and play around with, which I think is much of the point of this class of camera.

It was a gruesome discovery early Saturday morning at the scene of a crash when firefighters found two people dead inside a burning vehicle.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office identified the driver as 21-year-old Dustin A. Morton, of Lee's Summit, and passenger, 21-year-old Kylan P. Farris, also of Lee's Summit.
The one-car wreck happened just after 12:30 a.m. at Milton Thompson Road north of Langsford Road.
The sheriff's office got a call of someone driving recklessly just north of the wreck site in the area of M-7 Highway and Liggett Road in Blue Springs. A few minutes later another call came in of a car on fire.
Deputies said the two were last seen leaving a Blue Springs business moments before the crash. Alcohol and speed are contributing factors in the crash, Sgt. Ronda Montgomery said.
Authorities found the car upside down and on fire on Milton Thompson Road about a mile north of U.S. Highway 50, just east of Lee's Summit in unincorporated Jackson County.
Initial investigation shows the vehicle was traveling southbound on Milton Thompson Road at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control, went off the east side of the roadway, struck a large rock and ultimately overturned.

FYI: Cookbook, Summer school, PhD student
D K Ruuskanen
|FYI Body:
Remember the Linguist Cookbook? Well, with the Easter Break coming up
in the predominantly Christian countries, there may be time for many of
you to find a recipie for me. I fear you were put off by the grandiose
template, so that is OUT. Just send me a recipie, in any format, in any
language. I've upgraded my system so it will take just about anything -
except don't send appended word-files, save them in text-only format, or
better yet COPY and PASTE into your email msg.
Why am I asking? Well, fellow linguists, I got less than fourty
recipies (36, to be exact) and you can't hardly make a cookBOOK out of
36 recipies. THANKS very much to those people. I understand there are
some eight THOUSAND of you lurking out there - couldn't we come up with
at least a hundred recipies, to make the cookbook a reality?
Culinary Cheers, Kela
