New information is out about how long we can expect to live - and a lot has to do with where you live.
The CDC says states in south have the lowest life expectancy once a person reaches the age of 65.
In Mississippi, that's 17 and a half more years - with seven of them in poor health.
Hawaii came out on top, with people aged 65 expected to live another 21 years - mostly in good health.
Recently, the Commission to Build a Healthier America put out new maps which breakdown the life expectancies in different major regions of the country.
For the DC region, the group uses the Metro map to illustrate the differences.
In Fairfax and Montgomery counties, a person will live on average 84 years.
It's nearly that in Arlington County - at 83 years.
But just a few miles away in the District, life expectancy goes down to 77.
it's just about the same in Prince George's County - at 78 year of age.

- Good and simpleBKmomVIPDined on 8/8/2014Our seafood was fresh tasting, nice size portion, and simply prepared. No fancy or very imaginative preparations here. This is a nice, reasonable priced neighborhood seafood restaurant- a welcome change from some of the very 'upscale" overpriced restaurants in Center City Philly.Special Features:
- Very DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/1/2014This is the 1st time I have had a bad meal with a rest. I have found via Open Table.When we arrived it smelled like old mop water was used to clean the floors. I was tempted to leave but decided to give it a shot. It took forever for someone to wait on us.When we did get service it was not with any enthusiasm. I had white wine which was room temperature my friend,a diet coke and even that was flat. We had the calamari app., that was average but edible.The talapia was dry and certainly not fresh. My friend had crab cakes and said they were "fine". Not a raving review. She had a dessert despite my suggestion that we go. The chocolate tart was dry & lacking in flavor.It was bad diner food at high end restaurant prices. Would NEVER go back.
- Repeat winner...jerooDined on 7/28/2014I've been here with friends three times now for the Monday ""all-you-can-eat" mussels platter. The food's good, the service--particularly most recently--was exceptionally attentive. And the prices were reasonable. Win-win all round.Special Features:
- great valuePhillygirlDined on 7/27/2014This was my first time at Seafood Unlimited, and I will come back as a regular customer. I had the lobster special. The food was fresh, done simply yet tastefully. The food was fresh, and the service was great. I will definitely come back to try other dishes...and do the lobster special again. Only thing that was surprising, was that the Jersey tomatoes (for July) were tasteless. Don't know if they were refrigerated, or simply not vine ripened.Special Features:
- Gracious and welcomingFoodie4lifeDined on 7/26/2014I had been a previous fan many years ago. This time I managed to bring a family member to a new experience; it was fabulous meal with wonder ambience and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/26/2014This visit was disappointing. We've been to Seafood Unlimited and had a pleasant enough experience that we decided to go back. I don't know if it was an off night or a new chef, but the meal was mediocre at best. We started with soups-the Manhattan clam chowder my husband ordered had little flavor, and my gazpacho was as thick as a tomato sauce. We ordered the chilled 1/2 lobster, shrimp and salmon dish which was the special. The lobster half was barely a tail and a claw, all over cooked, as was the salmon. The cole slaw was good. Because our previous experience was more positive, and because the menu is promising, we'll probably give Seafood Unlimited another chance.
- Enjoyable MealdisappointedVIPDined on 7/26/2014Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. an all around great find in Rittenhouse Square area.Special Features:

- neighborhood gemrunningwaterDined on 6/26/2014Another visit to our neighborhood gem. This visit I enjoyed the 1 1/4 lb lobster special for $17.50 with two sides.Delicious! Started off with the "buck a shuck" bluepoint oysters. Fresh and delicious, and a "happy hour" priced drink. This time, I was facing the mosaic wall and had a chance to notice what a real work of art it is. It alone is worth a visit.Special Features:
- family neighborhood familiarsriggs4foodDined on 6/24/2014I do not live near Seafood Unlimited, so I make a special effort to get there, as when someone special is in town, as last night--an old friend who is moving to Philly to live. Dave and Judy have owned the place for 20 years or so, and they know the kind of table I like, and Alison the waitress (and Christian the server and Jennifer the bartender) all know what I like to drink. I like the choice between the front room, which looks out onto Philly's night scene crowd passing by, and the inner room, which is like being under water (good for a seafood place)!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Something a little differentRandyODined on 6/14/2014My girlfriend ordered the soft shell crab which came already shelled and pan fried. It was definetly a little different but tasty. I had the seafood cobb salad which was very goodSpecial Features:
- Outstanding dinnerSilverQueenVIPDined on 6/14/2014We enjoyed delicious lobster and swordfish dinners. I dine here regularly and love it. I highly recommend it.
- Fabulous softshellsRuthinAZDined on 6/9/2014I had unbelievably good soft shells which the waiter recommended when I was between two items. They were cooked perfectly and came with mashed potatoes and asparagus which were also cooked perfectly. The Seafood Quintet had fantastic shrimp and scallops. I thought the sea bass, salmon and tilapia were good, but nothing extraordinary. Our server was attentive and friendly. The dinner was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what was expected.jtyfunuticaDined on 6/8/2014Resturant itself was nice food was not what I expected at all... fish tasted frozen and instead of being crusted it was soggy like they cooked it in broth... I would not go back.
- Enjoyable brunchSilverQueenVIPDined on 6/8/2014This is a good place for brunch, not crowded, and you can make a reservation. I enjoyed the crab eggs benedict and my friend loved her fish and chips. There are many good options on the menu. I would recommend it.Special Features:
- Great location but...BajaDined on 6/6/2014Philly needs seafood restaurants. 30 years ago we used to go to Seafood Unlimited for fresh, unfancy meals. I've been there twice in their new version and I won't go again. My husband had bluefish that wasn't fresh. He didn't finish it but was still up all night feeling lousy. My "panko-crusted" seabass was an odd-tasting oily fish, didn't taste like seabass to me, made with breadcrumbs and then splashed with so much liquid, not crusted in panko which promises a crunch. My son's salmon and potato was fine, so i guess you'd be safe with that. The creamed spinach was good, the waiter was very nice. The prices, even if the food had been good, were pretty high.
- Lobster Tail SpecialrunningwaterDined on 6/4/2014We went for the lobster tail special on Wednesday nights. The lobster tail was succulent. Served with melted butter, Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious. We were early enough for happy hour and had the half priced mussels. A generous portion and also very good. The service was friendly and the ambiance interesting and pleasant. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice spot!Foodlov3rDined on 5/23/2014Great service, romantic, cozy and great tasting food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun diningLarInPhillyDined on 5/17/2014We brought friends from out of town. All of us enjoyed the service (not particularly friendly, distant, but ok with that as it was "professional"). The food was quite good. Interesting wall decorated in "found pieces" of glass and tile collage.
- beautifulspotDined on 5/17/2014was somewhat disappointed. Restaurant is not what it looks like in pictures. We were given a brunch menu on a Saturday afternoon (2:30) lunch. No what I expected. Was looking for broader menu. Plates did not come out looking like they do on the website. Website makes this place look much more upscale.
- First time visiting, will go backphillyfoodieVIPDined on 5/11/2014We had a large party and we received good service from our waitress. Everyone's order was correct and all the food came out at the same time. The food was tasty. I had the shrimp and grits. I would have preferred a stronger flavor of cheese in my grits, but the consistency of the grits was on point. The shrimp were large and grilled to perfection. I didn't care for the tomato based sauce on top, but overall the dish was very tasty. My fiancee's omelette was overcooked and the turkey bacon was undercooked, but I told him that he should have ordered seafood from a seafood restaurant not diner food :) We split a crab cake appetizer and that was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love2DineDined on 5/10/2014This was my second time dining at Seafood Unlimited. Great place, however, they were short staffed the Saturday before Mother's Day. Therefore, the service had taken longer than expected. Other than this, my mother and I enjoyed our brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I had the crab cakes and was disappointed. The crab meat was shredded and watery inside. The vegetables had no flavor nor did the crab cakes.

Today marks the one-year anniversary when Connecticut residents woke up to torrential rain, high winds and trees toppling under the weight of
The storm blew through the state with winds at 60 mph, leaving over 700,000 homes and businesses without power and two deaths, as well as road closures, downed wires and property damage.
In the year since the storm hit, towns have taken more emergency preparedness steps. They've put money away for potential disaster situations, and revamped training in case another major weather event occurs.
The state has also implemented drills through the Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, on those emergency initiatives.
And, hopefully, residents have learned to take the necessary precautions when a big storm impacts the region, like stocking food and supplies properly.
One year after Irene hit, are we better prepared than we were before? Take our poll and share your thoughts in the comments.

Microwave 'nearly melted' after woman puts it on hob (From The Bolton News)
Microwave 'nearly melted' after woman puts it on hob
7:01pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News
A microwave "nearly melted" after it was placed on top of an electric hob in Horwich.
A woman, aged in her mid 60s, had been cooking a potato in the microwave at her home in Flockton Court, High Street, and preparing soup on the hob.
The hob directly underneath the microwave was not in use, but the woman had used an adjacent hob to heat some soup.
The woman had moved microwave onto the hob because there had been a leak from the property upstairs.
A fire crew from Horwich station were called out at about 5pm this evening, and said they had to take the microwave outside because it was "red hot".
The woman was not hurt, but was said to be shaken by the incident.
Mark Anderson, crew manager at Horwich fire station, said: "The potato was the reason we originally got the alarm, and it was burnt to a crisp. It was a bit of a tragic story really.
"It could have been a lot worse. We would advise everyone not to leave their food unattended."

The deceased is placed in a rigid combustible container then into a cremation chamber. The chamber is raised to a temperature of 1600° to 1800°F for two to two and a half hours. The body is consumed by heat and evaporation until only bone fragments remain. The bone fragments are processed to further reduce them to a size that facilitates the inurnment and/or makes them acceptable for scattering. The resulting fragments, commonly referred to as ashes, are placed in a temporary container for return to the family. When metal implants are present in a body, they are separated by a magnet, and disposed.
Families commonly choose a decorative urn into which they transfer their loved one's ashes. Cremated remains may be kept in an urn, scattered, or interred.
If you are considering cremation, please consider National Cremation for convenient cremation services. Learn more about cremation by referring to our FAQ's or contacting us.

Media Push Gore's "Live Earth" Concerts, Ignore Pollution They'd Cause
And no, I don't mean the cloud of smug from all the Toyonda Piouses.
Benefit concerts, even ones held to save the planet, generate lots of trash and traffic, and eat up plenty of electricity, half of which is generated in this country from coal-fired power plants. Just don't expect the liberal media to make those points as they cover former Vice President Al Gore's "Live Earth" concerts.
Dan Gainor writes about that today over at the MRC's BusinessandMedia.org Web site today.
UPDATE (16:50 EST, 2/17/2007): Reprogram your alarm clocks (or TiVo), Dan is scheduled to appear on "Fox & Friends Sunday" on February 18 but they moved it up to 7:50 a.m. EST.
That concert was performed in nine cities, two more than Live Earth targets, but concertgoers left mountains of trash for the host cities. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that 135 tons of trash were picked up just for one concert. The paper also said that one area had been "twice cleared of acres of trash."
That doesn't begin to address the pollution that the left would claim would be caused by the plane travel across the globe, cars driven to each site and the energy used to broadcast a concert for 2 billion people.
Ordinarily, liberals and journalists complain about such pollution. According to the eco Web site Planet Ark, "Experts say flying is more damaging than driving, because carbon dioxide, water vapour, and nitrogen oxide spewed high in the air enter the ozone layer straightaway."
A 2005 Wired Magazine article showed Gore actually apologetic for his own air travel. "Gore and Tipper atoned for their estimated 1 million miles in global air travel by giving money to an Indian solar electric company and a Bulgarian hydroelectric project," said the article.
But with Live Earth, the media embraced what rapper Pharrell Williams promised would be "the biggest party on Earth," according to the Associated Press.

Saturday: Clouds creep from both the south & west during the day As a result, the Blue Mountains to the Palouse & the East Cascade slopes will see light snow beginning by midday. Around Spokane/Cd'A, the forecast favors snow by the evening & continuing overnight. Low/High 21°/32° (GREEN Day/YELLOW Night)
Sunday: Start the day with 2" fresh snow, while another 1"-3" falls throughout the day. Microclimates will heavily influence storm snowfall… Low/High 22°/29° (YELLOW)
FYI: What's a 50% chance of snow really mean? It's just a statistic that doesn't have anything to do with area coverage nor timing...it simply means that 100 other days that were similar to the forecasted day, it snowed on 50 & was dry on 50 of those days. Over ½ of nearly 500 Pacific Northwest college students interpreted it erroneously during one of the most comprehensive studies addressing the "Probability of Precipitation" in public forecasts.
Have a great weekend!Dave

Europe would be better off if they kicked their fossil fuel addiction. If they did, what Putin did or didn't do would have little influence on them. Having clear skys, clean water, and earth to grow crops and raise stock is environmentally correct. There is nothing wrong with protection of these human rights. All the energy on the planet won't halp a didly squat with no water to drink, air to breath and food to eat. The fossil foolers have forgotten that folks survived centuries without them. And in one century, their products have put all our lives in jepordy. Best J1

I need to start over before I get too far with mistakes
I thought it would be best if I just started over from the beginning to make sure I am following the directions in the book "Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS. This is my second week, so I figure I won't loose very much if I start over from the beginning. First of all I think a lot of my troubles have been putting things in the wrong folder. I reread your book instructions on setting up My Document Folder . To make sure I am in sync with the instruction abou My Document folder because I have windows 7 and my document folder is not on my desktop. When you are referring to My Document folder in your book are you referring to the My Document folder that I already have folders and files in or are you saying go to the desktop>right click>new>folder and name that new folder My Document . I believe if I get a good understanding, I won't have to spend hour and hour trying to do one task as directed in the book.
P.S. when I contact you do I go to the new threads button? If not after I log in tell me exactly where I should be asking questions at.
P.S. I am sure when I get a good understanding of web designing I will be patient with others who are like myself. It's not as easy as I thought, but this is something I want to do and I am going to stick with it, with your help.

It's talking about the folder that's already on your computer by default. You don't have to use that folder, though. I would probably instead create a new folder on the Desktop and store all your website files in there. Call it whatever you like.
when I contact you do I go to the new threads button? If not after I log in tell me exactly where I should be asking questions at.

It is an event worthy of a ceremony.
The last weld on the streetcar track linking the University of Arizona, downtown and the West side of Interstate 10.
The route is four miles long but needs seven miles of track going each direction.
35,356 feet, but whose counting.
A clay pot, like a kiln, was fired to heat the track for the final weld. Applause erupted as a foot high flame rose from the pot.
An hour later, everyone was gone except a half dozen workers who were grinding the weld to smooth it out before it's complete and the area paved over.
The end of a 400 day schedule that for motorists and downtown businesses, seemed like a lifetime.
The barricades which have dominated the downtown landscape are slowly being collected and will be moved elsewhere.
The overhead lines are only about 60% complete but there's no hurry since the first streetcar won't be delivered for another month and it will be nearly a year before it begins to haul its first fare paying customers.
But for many, it's the nostalgia.
"For me personally," says Tucson city manager Richard Miranda and native Tucsonan, "and I think a lot of people who've grown up here and remember downtown Tucson when it was the place to go, I see that vitality coming back."
But for others, it's the symbolism.
"It's something I've been saying for years," says Ward 1, Westside council member Regina Romero, "about Westside and Eastside downtown meeting."
Downtown was split in half when the Interstate freeway passed through the city decades ago.
In the half century since, there has been, sometimes bitter accusations that the Eastside of downtown got better treatment than the Westside.
The divide was not, some believe, imaginary.
"I think the streetcar, heals a lot of the sentiment that was factual," Romero says.
The streetcar should bring the same economic opportunities from one end of the line to the other.
"Investments are happening on the Eastside and the Westside," she says.
Romero says she has been getting so many calls from developers that she's approached the city manager to help sort them out.
David Slutes, who does entertainment venues for The Congress Hotel sees the area rising.
"Business has been surprisingly very good as people anticipate it," he says. "I'm very bullish on the future down here."

Too elementary

Comments about Northern Yucatan Peninsula / Maya Sites Adventure Map:
It doesn't approach the inclusiveness of the Oct. 1989 map, and while it adds newer developed ruins, it omits too many "minor" (i.e. less touristy)ones.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Let's face it: Most of us aren't getting our sushi fix at the lacquered juniper counter of a $200-a-head omakase shrine. No, we're trolling the aisles of our neighborhood grocery store seeking out the ones that look like they might have been made recently. Or at least the ones in which the avocado is still green and you can almost make out the grains of rice in that amorphous blob. Yes, supermarket sushi isn't pretty, but it does the trick.
So which store stocks the freshest stuff? To find which rolls rock hardest, we, your trusty Los Angeles magazine staffers, risked life and intestinal tract by testing the offerings from six of the region's largest grocers. But first a caveat: Depending on their location, different stores contract out to different sushi manufacturers, so the Whole Foods Market in Hollywood stocks completely different sushi from the Whole Foods in, say, Torrance. The same applies to other supermarkets. We selected our sushi from stores located in central Los Angeles, from Silver Lake to Mid City.
What we bought:
GELSON'SCrunch roll: $9.49Assorted nigiri: $9.89 (2 tuna, 2 salmon, 2 eel) California roll: $6.29
VONSCalifornia roll: $5.49Spicy tuna roll (w/brown rice): $6.99Crunchy shrimp tempura: $9.49"Sushi Marina" plate: $9.99 (2 tuna nigiri, 2 salmon nigiri, 2 shrimp nigiri)
TRADER JOE'SVegetable tempura roll (w/brown rice): $3"Sushi Sensations" variety pack (16 pieces): $5.99
WALGREENS (Sunset + Vine)Rainbow roll (nigiri): $11.99Crunchy roll: $8.49Hawaiian roll (spicy tuna): $8.99
RALPHSSpicy furikake albacore roll (misc. category): $7.49Spicy tuna avocado roll: $7.19Cucumber roll (w/brown rice, misc. category): $3.19California roll: $5.29
WHOLE FOODSCrabmeat California roll: $7.99"Spicy Tsunami" combo: $10.99 (4 pieces spicy tuna roll; 4 pieces nigiri, including 2 tuna, 2 salmon)
Round 1: California RollWinner: Gelson's!The avocado here was fresh and firm, and the faux crab was in one big chunk, which we liked. Also, the little strips of cucumber were supercrunchy. The rest suffered either from mushy brown avocado, terrible rice, or dry, feathery artificial crab.
Round 2: Nigiri SamplerWinner: Whole Foods!This was a landslide victory. The fish from the other stores didn't come close to the fresh offerings we found at Whole Foods. The rice, too, was decent—not too sweet, and it didn't have that "refrigerator" taste you so often find.
Round 3: Crunch RollWinner: Tie: Walgreens and Vons!We split the victory here because the rolls were so different. The Walgreens roll, which was topped with crispy fried onion bits, had the best flavors and freshest rice, but it was essentially just a California roll with topping. We think bonus points should be awarded to Vons for managing to pull off tempura-fried shrimp. Was it perfect? No—anything that's breaded, fried, drenched in sauce, and then packed in the fridge is doomed. But it was better than the rest, and we found ourselves going back for more.
Round 4: Spicy Tuna RollWinner: Walgreens!On looks alone, we would have awarded this one the prize. Colorful sauces and a sprinkling of bright orange tobiko made the Walgreens version look as good as the one at your corner roll shop. It was also the spiciest—in that weird, fake-spice kind of way. Whole Foods was the runner-up for swapping the standard tuna mush for a solid red hunk.
Round 5: MiscellaneousWinner: NoneThe lesson here? Stick to the basics. The weird one-off rolls all failed miserably. Ralphs' furikake albacore roll was unbelievably dry. We're not even sure how that happened. But the real dud was the Trader Joe's selection—all of them. The rice had somehow solidified into a white, gummy lump. The vegetables weren't crisp, and the cooked fish offerings were so bad that one of our tasters had to use the spit bucket. Keep on making your frozen spanakopita TJ—sushi ain't your game.

Investigation launched at energy plant (From The Northern Echo)

Complaints about dust from Dalkia
6:00am Friday 29th March 2013 in News By Catherine Priestley, Chief Reporter (Sedgefield)
AN energy company is being investigated by the Government's environmental watchdogs over concerns about dust settling on neighbouring homes and businesses.
The Environment Agency has confirmed it is investigating complaints about excessive dust emissions relating to the Dalkia plant at Chilton, near Ferryhill, County Durham.
Two separate sides of the business operate from the site - a biomass power station and the production of wood pellets for fuel.
The dust was allegedly generated by the wood pellet plant and Dalkia has stopped work in that part of the operation while the Environment Agency examines the complaints.
It is not known who reported the company but residents and business people have told The Northern Echo that many people in Chilton are unhappy with the Dalkia plant.
Resident Davy Chapman, of Byron Road, founded the Chilton Voice Facebook page for residents.
He said: "The dust is so bad residents have to keep windows closed, it is all over properties and cars.
"There is a children's play area and a football field next to it and they are deserted, partly because you have to cross a road to reach it but also because it is dirty up there."
David Greatorex (CORRECT), managing director of Hydram Sheet Metalwork, which employs more than 140 people at Chilton Industrial Estate, said: "We have certainly experienced dust on vehicles parked in our onsite car park."
A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: "We are currently working with the company to help them find solutions to the problem.
"Dalkia have responded positively to the issue and have temporarily ceased operations at the site to reduce the impact on the local environment.
"They are also working on an action plan to find longer-term solutions."
Nick Burchett, a spokesperson for Dalkia, said the dust will be tested to see if it has come from the plant or elsewhere such as construction in the village.
He said: "We take the dust problem seriously and want to control it which is why we have stopped operation.
"We want to make sure it is right, residents are key to our existence so we don't want to upset them.
"If the problem is with the plant we have to fix it."

Pours a pitch black color in the snifter with a very thin and delicate toffee colored ring around the brim.
Dark roasted chocolate aroma with some tropical fruit. The beer was poured way too cold so whatever aromatic nuances there are muted for the time being until the beer warms up.
Pineapple, delicate coconut, and light citrus blends with dark chocolate roast and a slight amount of dark fruit blend. The aftertaste is a blend of light tropical fruit and dark chocolate char.
Medium body and almost non-existent carbonation.
Definitely not a stout that fits into any sort of mold and hats off to the collaborators who decided to push the envelope with the style, always fun to experience. Not bad by any means, not stellar...just plain "interesting".

Draft offering at Fat Head's in pittsburgh, served in a snifter. The brew appears black in color with a tan cap. Some spotty lace holds on the glass and a thin film rests atop.
The aroma is sweet almost like a fruity pineapple mixed with coconut. As more whidds are taken, that sweet lactose note mingles in the nose with suggestions of chocolate. Somewhat more roasted and earthen notes come out as it warms.
The taste is sweet with raisony alcohol someehat fruity before chocolate takes hold. Some lactose sweetness is present giving it that milk stout sort of feel but with wven more residual sugars tgat interplay with tropical notes like coconut and pineapple.
This is a medium bodied brew with a modest amount of carbonation. It was interesting and worth trying but the sweetness held it back a bit overall for me to want and have more than 1 go at it. The alcohol was hidden quite well and if you have a sweet tooth, I could see this one hitting the spot.

Pours jet black with a tan head. In the aroma, a sweet roast and a small coconut presence. In the taste, a sweeter roast and a small coconut presence. A small bit e and a medium bodied mouthfeel, with a dry roast and note of coconut in the aftertaste. The sweet roast matches the coconut presence, quite balanced.

Sony, not content to compete in…well, pretty much every segment of consumer and professional technology, has decided to enter the "action camera" arena with their own miniscule device. Sony, being the enormous company that they are, felt they could make a dent in the overwhelming lead that GoPro has in the area of action sports cameras. Sony has certainly made small cameras in the past, but this is the first time that they've built one to be worn specifically as an extreme or action sports camera.
Here's a little bit from the Sony blog about the camera:
The video camera is tiny and lightweight, but it houses Sony's hallmark SteadyShot® image stabilization technology, Exmor® R CMOS image sensor, and an ultra-wide angle Carl Zeiss® Tessar® lens. That means, whether you're shredding major powder, jumping out of a plane, or kayaking through an epic waterfall, you're capturing super high-quality video of it to show off to your family and friends. And there'll be ruggedized and waterproof housings available so the camera can do its job in even the most extreme environments.
What good would an action sports camera description be without the phrase "shredding major power?" I guess that works as a description for both skiing and snowboarding, so they're just trying to cover all their bases. While GoPro is beginning to add professional filmmaking features such as 24p, higher bit rates, and Cinestyle color profiles, Sony is just starting to get in the game — but they're doing it in a big way with image stabilization and a Carl Zeiss lens. Sony is usually moderate with product upgrades, so I wouldn't expect this camera to have specs that much higher than the competition right out of the gate. It seems it will take either SD or Memory Stick cards (hopefully the former), and will be released with a number of accessories.
There's no word on real specs or pricing yet, but I would expect it to be very similar to the best that GoPro has to offer (if not better). If Sony really wants to compete, these are going to have to be inexpensive, because no one wants to have to replace a $500 or $600 camera every time one breaks. The big positive I see with this camera is that it lends itself much better to being worn on the side of your head, unlike the GoPro which works a lot better mounted on top of a helmet.
Check out some of the photos of the device below.
If you already own a GoPro, does this device interest you? What would you be willing to pay for one if the specs match the competing products out there?

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Tough to say. There's been other action cameras out there already but nothing really compares to GoPro. By the time this hits the market, I'm sure GoPro will have some sort of image stabilization with their own cameras.
Sony really needs to take a look at what they can do in raising the bar with these action cameras. If they're just going to pretty much copy the setup of a GoPro camera, then I think most are just going to stick with GoPro.
The big problem with this camera for skiing/snowboarding is it is much much bigger than a go pro. It might interest people doing follow cam on a pole, but it looks ridiculous on a helmet. The case looks like a poor afterthought. The beauty of a gopro is how the form factor works with the case, and how many mounting options there are.

I've added one of Sony's original photos at the bottom, this is really going to work better as a side-mount camera.
Peter on 06.28.12 @ 8:07AM
it looks big on the picture but if you put it in your hand it still very small http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/27/3121913/sony-action-camera-hands-on#3501520
but yes the form factor is going to be better as a side mount camera
Paul on 06.28.12 @ 3:28AM
If sony can get 120 frames or more in full HD in this guy that would be a game changer
Nathan on 06.28.12 @ 6:40AM
GoPros are cool but they are far from perfect – there is a lot of room for improvement. I welcome Sony to the market!
James on 06.28.12 @ 10:00AM
Hey Joe,
This is totally unrelated to this post but I can't find the "tip" button to send you this. I think this could be a game changer for indie animation, the ease and intuitiveness of machinima with the power of Maya/Aftereffects :
Take that system and then start using video game engines like the new Unreal Engine 4 and you've got something pretty powerful, a whole new way of working with videos and storytelling.
Might be worth an article and some more discussion, again sorry I posted this here, couldn't find another way to send it.
Joe Marine on 06.28.12 @ 5:48PM
You can send tips like this by using the Contact email from the Contact section above. I actually saw this yesterday and am planning on doing a post on it. I think it's pretty remarkable.
Side mount on the head is way better than GoPro, but chest-mounting seems impossible.
Yeah I like the idea of using this type of camera on the chest harness inconspicuously and the Sony looks like it would not do well in that category, guess I will just order the Gopro Hero 2… I have a NEX 7 already anyway.
We had them on a shoot 3 weeks ago. The quality was spectacular. Their mounts were subpar but I'm sure that will be worked out. And yes, 120fps at 720p and micro sd. I'm not sure that the steady shot worked on the version we had. If it was I don't think it was used.
john jeffreys on 06.28.12 @ 1:26PM
Is it just me or does that camera look like a red one

He-he-he !
Brandon on 06.28.12 @ 5:22PM
No mention of Contour in this? It seems clear that Sony is very much basing their design on Contour. Especially in that waterproof case.
I've used both Contour and GoPro and definitely prefer Contour + (especially for the clean HDMI out and the iPhone sync via bluetooth) but I'm interested to see what Sony will be offering.
Greg on 06.29.12 @ 7:43AM
Having competition is always good for the end user, I look forward to the raising of the bar in the near future by Sony, GoPro and Contour.
Sandman on 06.29.12 @ 8:22AM
i would love to know if it will have WiFi control like the new GoPro cameras. Start Stop, Remote viewing via Iphone! Does anyone have a price?
Russell Steen on 06.29.12 @ 9:34AM
As we were standing at the GoPro booth at NAB watching the crowd yelling "GO PRO!", I turned to my (producer) friend and said, "Don't think Sony, Canon, Panasonic, and everyone else isn't noticing this. I bet within a year they'll all be offering a 'Sport Cam' of some type."
Sony may be the first, but it won't be long before the others get in. It's a no brainer. A video camera that is disposable and costs less than a lift ticket or a good set of snorkling gear. As a cinematographer, I hate point and shoot cameras, but I've used a GoPro several times because of it's size and (inexpensive) underwater capability. By all means, let the competition bring improvements, but GoPro may regret that big noisy booth at NAB.
Jason on 06.29.12 @ 10:23AM
I saw a camera on the side of a helmet on a St. Louis Rams 'Wired" Segment. It was on the side of a players helmet as he ran drills in practice. I was confused on what they where using, but it looks like this Sony. Could they have gotten it early though? I don't know but looks exactly like it.
Daniel Mimura on 06.30.12 @ 5:39AM
It can't be any worse or more awkward than the GoPro, so I'm stoked to see Sony get into this.
Clearly labeled buttons and a side display screen! I always forget how to do all the controls to my GoPro as I don't use it daily or weekly…etc…so I spend too long d-cking around with it or double checking it…
I have the rear screen when I want to adjust the settings in English instead of a random collection of beeps and blinking red lights…but then you have to change out the backs to the housing…and add a significant amount more weight (which when using it with the side mounted helmet bracketry basically makes it unusable.)
The GoPro brackets suck…the screws break out of the plastic housing, they introduce a lot of flex b/c of the weight, material, shape, design of it (which sucks because the jello is already horrible as it is)…hopefully Sony will make something better (although one comment makes it seem that they haven't improved anything on that front).
gregzeng on 06.30.12 @ 12:37PM
Interesting to see if the Japanese (Canon, Sony, …) bring their optical, electronic & miniaturization technologies into the sports camera areas more successfully than Go Pro.
Sony's longer slim shape suites miniatures better: landcraft (robots, tanks, cars, …), seacraft (water-top, submarine) & aircraft (planes, helicopters, … ) better than the Go Pro.
I use GoPro,GoPro2, Contour Roam and bullet cams to shoot underwater videos. One of the biggest advantage GoPro has (especially over Contour/Bullets/etc) is that you can change the batteries. You can also use TWO batteries (with the option back battery) , giving a real world shooting time of about 3h+. Since I shoot the videos in anywhere from 100-1200ft deep, how long the batteries last is critical. 60 fps is minimal, 120 is better. The things i don't like about GoPro..1) as aerodynamic as a brick 2) It took GoPro way too long to realize that the waterproof casing needed a flat lens 3) There is no easy way to change a scratched lens. 4) The buttons on the GoPro2 stick out (unlike the first Hero) 5) SD card limited to 32MB
I can't wait to test this new Sony unit. I hope that Sony will throw its full wealth of technological experience behind this project.
check out the sportbuddy HDX camera. Much better than gopro, costs less and super easy to use. I have had mine for 2 months and love it http://www.sportbuddyhdx.com
Thank you for the good writeup. It in fact was
a amusement account it. Look advanced to more
added agreeable from you! However, how could we communicate?

RICHMOND, Va. —
"The whole idea feels very 1950s," says Peggy Drexel, author of "Our Fathers, Ourselves: Daughters, Fathers and the Changing American Family." "I mean, do you invite your sperm-donor dad? Today's America has the daughters of donors, lesbians, two gay dads. . . ."
In October, school officials in Cranston, R.I., banned the dances — along with mother-son baseball games — after the American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint citing discrimination against single mothers, as well as gender stereotyping. "It's 'Ozzie and Harriet' stuff — it shouldn't be happening in this century," says Steven Brown of the Rhode Island ACLU. "Not every girl wants to grow up to be Cinderella; some might actually more enjoy playing baseball. But these types of stereotyped events promote an opposite impression."
One indication that times are changing: The Girl Scouts of America have given some of the events new names, such as "SAM" — significant adult male — dances or "Someone Special and Me" dances. There are also new events replacing the dances, such as the "Daddy-Daughter Boot Camp" for Girl Scouts on Fort Belvoir.
"What's really new here is that people whose family forms were shoved under the rug, including those in jail, are increasingly saying we have a right to the same respect that everyone gets," says Stephanie Coontz, author of "The Way We Really Are: Coming to Terms With America's Changing Families."
The dance at the Richmond jail is less improbable than it sounds: Historically, the father-daughter dances have been used to help American families reunite. They became widespread in the United States after World War II as a way to reintegrate men into family life. It's too early to know whether this dance will have a lasting impact, but Richmond City Sheriff C.T. Woody says it's a start.

CATEGORIES Drama, Foreign Language, Independent, Other Festivals, Cinematical Indie, CinematicalQuick, what are the first things that come to mind when you think of Las Vegas? Gambling? Heat? Liberace? An ideal place to watch independent and foreign films? The folks behind the CineVegas Film Festival, which begins Wednesday, June 6, and runs through Saturday, June 16, have been anxious to build a reputation as a destination for independent film fans. But they feature big stars to attract the attention of the merely curious as well. Witness the opening night festivities planned around the stars and producer of Ocean's Thirteen (George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Ellen Barkin, Andy Garcia and Jerry Weintraub) and the charitable group International Rescue Committee for Not On Our Watch, not to mention honors planned for the likes of Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir Ben Kingsley, Mike Newell and Charlize Theron.
The meat and potatoes of any festival, though, must be the films, and the "Jackpot Premieres" section holds some promise. All God's Children Can Dance is based on a short story by the supremely-talented Haruki Murakami, whose Tony Takitani was previously adapted to some acclaim by Jun Ichikawa; Scott Coffey (Ellie Parker) did the script this time, with first-timer Robert Logevall in the director's chair and the glorious Joan Chen leading the cast. Loren Cass is also from a debut director, Chris Fuller, who shot on location in St. Petersburg, Florida. His film follows three young people as they deal with the aftermath of the race riots that shook the city in 1996. Choose Connor is a story of politics and a teen's loss of innocence; the fact that it was made by 20-year-old actor/director Luke Eberl (AKA Lucas Elliott) may add authenticity to the telling, and the casting of Steven Weber as the politician ups expectations, at least in my mind -- Weber, who can be slick, oily and sincere, as a politician? I'm there. The festival also features a showcase of Mexican films and much more. I'm sure the organizers fervently hope that attendees ignore the advertising maxim, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," and tell everyone about their CineVegas experience.

How Kickstarter became a buzz word at CES 2013
by Jonathan Strickland | January 10, 2013
At CES, tech journalists talk to each other. We share our opinions on stories, give each other a heads up if there's something particularly interesting on the show floor and we make incredibly geeky jokes in an attempt to solicit the largest groan from the other people in the area. One discussion I found interesting was about how many journalists felt let down by the tech on display this year. It's not that the technologies aren't impressive. It's more about how big companies are involved in so many lines of business they have little opportunity to stretch beyond their already massive product lines.

Your #1 Online Multiplayer Bleach Game
Monday, August 25, 2014 at 05:53 by Kostas
Alright, well, now, let's see.
It has been a hectic period for both sites. Both for us, here in S-A, and for our sister site N-A which is still having some issues, so let us hope those are resolved quick. I personally treat both sites with the same respect and time, so let's hope everything is put behind us quick.
With that said, it's been a while, so let me explain. We have done a very large balance with not just balance in mind. We wanted to remove some of the staleness and low usability some of the characters were having. Some characters like Love, had a decent win percent but an utterly abhorent usage, so we did changes in hopes that we freshen things up a bit. Oh, also there's a new character and all that too I guess that we should mention. So yeah, here you go guys.
Armored Yoruichi
Needing to amplify her strength, and to combat the Arrancar, Yoruichi puts on a special Anti-Hierro Armor, developed by Urahara. With her new armor, Yoruichi is able to pierce most defenses, dealing great damage and hindering the opponent's ability to defend, all while protecting her.
- Boosts: Dondochakka Bilstin, Mila Rose, Gantebainne Mosqueda, Resurreccion Szayel, Koutotsu, Senna, Dark Rukia.
- Nerfs: Metastacia, Hueco Mundo Byakuya, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, Hirako Shinji.
- Rework (Minor/Major/Etc): Matsumoto Rangiku, Shawlong Qufang, Menoly Mallia, Dordonii Alessandro Socacchio, Aaroniero Arruruerie, Child Nel, Ushoda Hachigen, Aikawa Love.

Two weeks are up. Roy Mustang had his summer fun and now it's time for him to leave. He will be removed from the game shortly and won't be usable. Please remove him from your teams to avoid any unwanted glitches. If you cannot remove Roy from your current team, just drag and drop another character to his place.
As for balance, Kostas did promise a balance update last weekend, but due to technical reasons and not been able to access the admin panel, he was unable to do it. He will do one this week, or at least before next Monday.
New alternate path missions are released as well. Enjoy them, they will stay till next Monday.
Thank you for being patient with us,
SA Staff
Monday, August 4, 2014 at 01:04 by Raizen-1
Edit: Due to some people having a glitch with Roy's mission and not being able to unlock him. I've decided to remove the mission and release him for free. Enjoy!!!
Through popular vote, Roy Mustang is back in SA as an event character! If you want to use him, you'd have to complete his mission and unlock him. You can find it in the alternate mission section. Don't worry, it's an easy mission :P
As for a balance update, Kostas is busy (he explained in the balance topic) and there won't be one this weekend. However, he promises to do one next weekend, look forward to it.
Also, in other news, the SA's Official Writing contest is open right now. Come and join it here.

Hey guys,
Sorry I couldn't get this out yesterday, but I managed to do it today. I really mainly wanted to hit the Hisagi/D. Sado/Momo combo, but I am trying not to over-nerf them to oblivion. So trying to take it nice and slow-ish. If need be, they will be nerfed some more later.

Update: New alt mission is released ~ 7/7/2014
Hey, everyone.
So it's July, and the hope, barring Zelos disappearing again, is that we can push out a number of characters out. Now, full disclosure to our character creation process. I am in charge of some characters, and Zelos is in charge of others. If he is busy/gone, we can only release the ones I make, because he isn't here. So some characters "cough" Yamamoto "cough", I have no control over. Because Zelos does.
Anyways. Here's Lilynette.
Lilynette Gingerbuck
The Fraccion of Coyote Starrk, and an extension of his power; Lilynette is a child like arrancar that is often at odds with her Espada. While not particularly powerful, Lilynette is very tenacious, and can give up her own power to her allies.
- Boosts: Shiba Kaien, Ishida Ryuuken, Dordonii Alessandro Socacchio, Koutotsu.
- Nerfs: Yasutora Sado.
- Rework (Minor): Menoly Mallia.
As always, discuss the Alternate Missions Here, discuss balance topics Here, and discuss potential future characters and spoilers Here. And don't forget we have made changes to our Ladder System to make the Experience work even better. Discuss them Here.

Sidebar Widgets
I've just installed Buddypress on WP, with the Buddypress Default 1.2.3 theme.
But I don't have a the sidebar widgets:
-1- with a 'Sign-in/Logged in as' (there is only a text without titlebar in the sidebar now)
-2- with an Inbox
As far as I can see there are no such working 'plugins' and I also can't find useful topics or reply on this issue.
The questions made by other members are not answered in the past months from now…
Can anybody please help on this?
