Excellent Bridge Camera with a DSLR Feel
by emiramar on May 26, 2010
Pros: - Similar image quality comp w Canon SX10IS and G11. at 100-800 ISO.
- DSLR - like discrete controls to essential funct: WB, AF, AE, ISO.
- Manual zoom.
- B&W histogram before shooting.
- AA - type batt..
- The possi to attach filters and a hood.
Cons: - No external (only built-in) TTL flash capability.
- Slow RAW shot--to-shot times, but not much different than the similarly recorded values offered by other bridge or hyper-zoom cameras.

Summary: An excellent travel and vacation camera.The mistake many enthusiasts make when judging this camera is to expect DSLR quality due to the higher price.
Updated on May 26, 2010
Absolutely no Point-and-Shoot, "Bridge", or Hyper-Zoom currently available is expected to equal a DSLR, entry level or not, obviously because:
- a DSLR has a much larger sensor;
- a DSLR uses dedicated quality lenses.
The Fujifilm HS10 may be compared only with other cameras in its class. In its class it does very well, and it is a pleasure to use.

Could have been a contender
by Biglensbob on May 25, 2010
Pros: Great Mega Zoom Lens, fast burst speed, full set of manual features,
Cons: Slow shot to shot speed, low image quality, manual focus nearly unusable, unable to focus on objects in low contrast conditions. low light shooting capability not as good as expexted

Summary: The hype preceding the release of this, Fuji Film's flagship Digital Camera, gave me every reason to expect a camera that could compete with the best of the entry level DSlR's currently available. Fuji's "Backlit imaged sensor" coupled with the fast 30x mega-zoom lens was going to give users the ability to capture high quality images in both normal and low light conditions. Unfortunately, the HS10 does not live up to expectations. After spending a couple of weeks with this camera, I was less than impressed. My first disappointment was the slow shot to shot speed of as much as 2-3 seconds. This coupled with the cameras lack of ability to quickly focus in situations where the contrast between an object and its surroundings are low, meant a lot of missed shots. In these low contrast situations, the user guide suggests you switch to manual focus. The manual focus system is nearly useless. The focus ring is about 1/4 inch wide and butted up against the camera body, making it hard to adjust and the focus magnifying box that is supposed to make it easier to see the image in the view finder actually makes it very hard to understand what you are looking at. Switching the magnifier off, gives you a strange slider that is supposed to indicate when the image is in focus. None of the manual images I shot were in anything near sharp focus.
Then there is Fuji's claim of great low light capability. I found that in most situations, shooting at ISO's over 400 resulted in image noise levels slightly better than my Nikon D300 DSLR. That being said, I wasn't able to duplicate Fuji's results as shown on their website. Noise levels become severe above ISO 800.
The camera shoots full 1080 HD video with full stereo sound by way of 2 small microphones on the camera body, one on either side of the lens mount. The lack of a jack for an external mic is an unfortunate oversight. The camera allows you to use the zoom while shooting movies, but the focus tends to drift and you cannot use manual focus while in video mode. When using image stabilization with the video,it seems to add little jerky spots where it's trying to compensate for the camera's movements. I found I got better results with this feature turned off.
The camera has an interesting and useful feature for producing in camera panoramic images. Once in panorama mode, you just push the shutter release and pan the camera and it captures a sequence of images and stitches them together to create one panoramic image. It's not perfect; there were some strange artifacts in the images, generally very minor. But the panoramas were quick and easy to produce.
Overall, the camera has a large feature set, a great zoom lens and could have been a real champion if it could just to the one thing a nearly $500.00 camera needs to do; produce high quality images.

A very impressive digital camera, not so good camcorder
by claudehb on April 26, 2010
Pros: Very good images, both photos and videos. Good colors, impressive stabilisator, good ergonomics, impressive zoom range. Overall: a good concept.
Cons: The camcorder lacks a ¨pause button¨while recording: this is a mojor issue. Small glitches regarding the menu.

Summary: Overall, this is a very good if not the best hybrid concept on the market. Ergonomics is good, though not perfect: one canot use the flash if the sound is muted (why not?). If the face detection is on, the AF option to follow a subject cannot be activated - but one have to go deep in the menu to desactivated it instead to have it from the instant AF button besides the screen.
But the most inconvenient issue is the lack of a ¨pause button¨ to record scenes, like we can find on any camcorder on the market. Here how it works: to record a scene with the camcorder, one has to press the red button, then the screen (or viewfinder) becomes black for 1-2 seconds long. Then the image shows but it starts to record immediately, taking you by surprise eache time. I called the technical support to get a firmware to solve this problem (please call if you are interested in).
It would not be a problem if you shoot a landscape or any non moving objects and you record long shots on a tripod, but it will certainly be a major issue if you want to record people or take many 3-4 seconds shots - a lot of editing will be necessary.
The zoom is fantastic: I could never imagined such a long range 24-710 mm for a zoom: not much aberration chromatics and pincushing, the are significant barrel distortion at wide angle (this quite normal). Noise is not an issus at ISO 800 and lower; but it is always there. Details are quite well rendered, not stellar (not better than the Panasonic FZ30, on the market in 2005).

very good result under many circumstances
by dre belgium on February 21, 2011
Pros: Image quality a lot better than my old Minolta S414. Zoom is spectacular, wide angle more than enough. Focal distance readable on zoom ring. Batteries NiMH2500 last very long. Dark shooting good results. Video quality HD1080 is outstanding.
Cons: Evf not very useful so I switch it off because it keeps popping up when anything is near the vieuwfinder. When connected to PC it is impossible to delete photos, only copy. Need to delete one by one on camera, or format, or use external card reader.
Summary: See above. You can shoot quick without much knowledge, or you can use all the manual controls and settings which are easy to use and well situated but need some ...
Summary: See above. You can shoot quick without much knowledge, or you can use all the manual controls and settings which are easy to use and well situated but need some knowledge. Takes some time to get familiar with everything because of the many options. But once you know, it goes all very fast. Some often used settings can be stored and called back with only the main rotary button. E.g. I store landscape and flower setting, and one mode with spot light meter. very handy camera, size and weight OK but does not fit in your pocket!

Useful for the massive lens, otherwise mediocre camera
by michaelturton on January 26, 2011
Pros: Pros -- massive lens. Good performance at high ISO (reviewers are way too picky on 800 and 1600, I've had excellent results). Excellent handgrip feel. Takes lovely landscape pictures. Strong macro performance.
Cons: Cons -- Poor performance in all other aspects.

Summary: The image review is especially silly -- when you delete a pic it takes you back to the first pic you took rather than the next one -- if you shoot 1,000 images and delete #500, the camera returns you to #1, not #501, meaning you have to scroll through 500 images to reach where you just were. The controls are poorly conceived and two hands and (often) multiple fingers are required to work it, meaning it can't be used on the move. Just remembering all the different contortions required to operate the camera is taxing. The manual zoom is clunky and sticky. The manual focus takes forever to operate. The shutter lag is straight out of 2003. Most seriously, overall construction is poor and dirt has worked its way inside the lens of my HS10, totally compromising picture quality. It completely failed due to humidity on a recent bike trip in Borneo -- though other cameras on the trip had no trouble. It lacks durability and toughness; the image now "wavers" as if the CCD were moving when I first take it out to shoot, apparently the result of biking with it (none of my other cameras have had that problem). In short, the massive lens cannot balance out the many problems with this camera -- I recommend this camera only if you are not doing anything that requires a durable, user-friendly camera with plenty of features.

Better than I expected...
by vetb882 on November 13, 2010
Pros: The HS10 has a host of usable features that frankly forced me to learn the camera, learn things that as a journalist for motorcycle papers I had not bothered to since I am primarily a writer. The more I learn the better the pics. Shot motocross today
Cons: Shutter lag compared to my film SLR, a lot of things to learn to master the image and light. SR Auto handles most when you're unsure. Write speed is a limitation. This is my first digital rig so I can only compare to SLR that is pop n go fast.
Summary: The awesome 24-700mm lens saves your muscles and wallet. Need a tripod at longer zoom settings as image shake is bad at full zoom (as would be on anything). Once ...
Summary: The awesome 24-700mm lens saves your muscles and wallet. Need a tripod at longer zoom settings as image shake is bad at full zoom (as would be on anything). Once you learn the camera a bit and know what you want in your head, you can pretty much get the effect you want as the rig is super adjustable. Just dont be in a rush to take multiple shots one after another. I'm happy and the rig feel solid and well built.

Summary: I bought this camera back in March of 2011 just before the new model (HS20) had arrived and was able to get a good deal on this camera. I think if I had paid full retail I might be disappointed, being nearly in entry-level dSLR territory. Overall I have really enjoyed using this camera and image quality has not disappointed. My only major quibble are the menus, for some shots it would take 15-20 button presses to get the settings changed for a shot. The Raw files are slow to shoot but the silver lining here is that the Raw files aren't really any better than the JPEG so just stick with those when using this camera. As mentioned earlier the focus and image quality drops in low light but that is to be expected in a bridge camera like this one. The features allow almost any type to shooting scene, I personally use it more like a dSLR and use the manual settings most often. Here is another good point that kind of saves the menu issue, ISO, AF, AE, and WB settings are all accessible with a single button press. The lens is of very good quality and I have yet to see any of the typical issues with such a large zoom lens such as chromatic aberrations. Macro works extremely well capturing items as close as 1 cm. Overall if you can get a good deal on this one and its what you are looking for go for it! You won't be disappointed.

Dougherty County -- This Thanksgiving nearly 39 million Americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles from their homes over the Holiday weekend, most by car.
Georgia law enforcement officers are setting up road checks across the state to try to save lives during this heavy travel period. Wednesday afternoon, Dougherty County HEAT Officers were ticketing motorists on Moultrie Road for not wearing their seat belts.
In 2005 732 people were killed across the nation in wrecks, and half were not wearing their seat belts.
Officers also remind families to make sure their children are buckled properly. "Infants all the way up to toddlers, into your smaller children. The majority of the stops we make, the children are not restrained properly," said said Dougherty County Police Lt. Tom Jackson.
Jackson said the majority of drivers are wearing their seat belts on this busy travel day, and he knows that will help save lives.

Carson Palmer's story with the Cincinnati Bengals continues without a real resolution in sight. The Bengals QB wants to be released or traded before the 2011 season and, if that doesn't happen, he's prepared to retire. We're not quite sure what the Bengals think about that but they did select a quarterback in the 2011 NFL draft in QB Andy Dalton.
Dalton may not be ready to play right away, especially with the lockout, so Palmer returning, even for one year, would be beneficial to Cincy. And if Palmer did change his mind and decide to return, he would remain the starting quarterback, head coach Marvin Lewis told Bengals season ticket holders in a conference call on Wednesday. Lewis said Palmer would be the starter and Dalton would be groomed to become the quarterback of the future.
In the conference call, Lewis said of Palmer: "Carson feels like his time here is over. He feels like the best thing is to retire and spend time with family."
So the question now is whether Palmer will actually return. Plenty of smart folks around the NFL have said he's serious when he says he'll retire if he's not out of Cincinnati.
SB Nation's Cincy Jungle apparently believes Palmer won't return as they're already doing the research on other quarterback options for the Bengals.

Chicken Picante Recipe
My husband used to claim this entree as his specialty until I made it and discovered how quick and easy it is. Our two sons love the juicy chicken while my husband and I enjoy the twist that brown sugar and mustard give the picante sauce.
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
- 1 jar (16 ounces) picante sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- Hot cooked rice, optional
- Place chicken in a greased shallow 2-qt. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the picante sauce, brown sugar and mustard; pour over chicken.
- Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 30-35 minutes or a meat thermometer reads 170°. Serve with rice if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

After Saturday's baby shower, we got to enjoy some additional time with our friends from out of town. Lucky for us, they were all game for a bike ride and were more than happy to borrow a bike in order for us to ride to a local café for lunch. Good thing T. and I have accumulated something close to a personal bike share program in our garage because we were able to round up the five bikes needed for our group and in a size that fit everyone pretty comfortably.
So off we went along neighborhood route to a café with outdoor seating so that we could continue to enjoy the nice weather. We stretched lunch into a three hour affair, enjoyed some seasonal fares like strawberry rhubarb crepes with fruit from a local berry farm, and caught up on stories and life news.
And then we biked home to shape the evening's plans. It was so enjoyable to be able to share my daily life with my friends while they were in town and riding bikes is a big part of that. So it was even better that I was able to show them the town from the perspective that I usually get when riding to campus, the coffee shop, and home. And although we often joke about how we have a tiny bit of bike addiction and T. and I are constantly trying to cut back on the amount of bikes in our garage, it is nice to have that spare bike sitting around for when visitors come.
While I joke that we now have something close to a bike share program, our holdings are still pretty humble. For a true home-run bike share, check out what co-blogger Xander of 416 cyclestyle has done in order to get more of his friends and relatives on a bike. He accumulated a bunch of inexpensive bikes, fixed them up, and started an actual bike share program out of his own garage to serve his family and community. I love the idea and the generosity behind it. Would you ever consider opening your garage up to your community and creating something to this effect?
If you're interested in starting your own mini bike share, check out the article on The Urban Country to read more about how Xander approached this project.

Hillsborough tribute

Sir Bobby Charlton welcomes Hillsborough campaigners to Old Trafford
Sir Bobby Charlton has been praised by the families of the Hillsborough victims after welcoming campaigners to Old Trafford.
Sir Bobby rolled out the red carpet for Jenny Hicks and Margaret Aspinall as Manchester United played Liverpool at the weekend.

Hillsborough families have reacted with anger after it emerged that former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie has instructed solicitors to demand an "apology and recompense" from South Yorkshire Police. In an article he claims he was vilified whilst the force got off 'scot free'.

The gall of that man to paint himself as a victim and for him to ask anybody for an apology - it beggars belief.
He was responsible for a story which was part and parcel of a cover-up designed to blame innocent victims for the disaster.

South Yorkshire Police awaits Mr MacKenzie's letter with interest. It is well known that many media outlets ran similar stories at the time based on the same sources but chose to treat them differently. Mr MacKenzie was responsible for the particular headline he chose to run with.

Kaminski named to NCBWA Preseason "Stopper of the Year" Watch List
Related Links
Senior Chris Kaminski has been one of the top closers in the Atlantic Sun Conference since transferring from Weatherford Junior College in 2009, but now he is being regarded as one of the top closers in the nation after being named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Preseason "Stopper of the Year" Watch List.
Kaminski, who has been named second team all-ASun in consecutive seasons, will look to etch his name in the JU career record book in saves, appearances and earned run average. He is currently two saves shy of surpassing Joe Ausanio (16, 1985-88) for the program record.
"We are extremely excited about the nomination for Chris because it is not only a great honor for him but for the entire program," said JU associate head coach/pitching coach Tim Montez. "Chris is a true team player and has filled any role that we have asked of him since he set foot on campus. Not only can close for us, but he will be considered one of our top three starting pitchers this season."
Last year, Kaminksi was named to the A-Sun all-preseason team before balancing his duties as a starter and reliever while the Dolphins dealt with injuries to the pitching staff. The most consistent arm on the squad, Kaminski led the Dolphins with a 2.38 ERA, 24 appearances, seven saves and a .236 opponent batting average while also ranking second with 56 strikeouts and third with 68 innings pitched.
As a sophomore, Kaminksi made an immediate impact for the Dolphins by going 5-1 with a 2.70 ERA and a conference-high eight saves. He also registered a .286 opponent batting average and issued only three walks in 33.1 innings of work.
At Weatherford Junior College, Kaminski led the Coyotes to a spot in the regional tournament after finishing the year 6-0 with 3.86 ERA, four saves and 54 strikeouts.
After opening its first full spring practice on Jan. 28, JU is preparing to open the 2011 season with a three-game series at UNC-Wilmington on Feb. 18.

A number of people have asked me about how to visualise the Goetic spirits, as they are struggling. Well, there is a very good reason for why it is so difficult - visualisations do not work! Visualising is a western magical technique, and as you are aware from reading this blog, western magic is not very good at summoning the Goetia. If you get the address wrong, are you surprised the recipient does not receive the message? If you get the name wrong, are you surprised if someone does not respond immediately? Western magicians are obsessed with getting the name right, and they have to interrogate the spirit to ensure the entity is really what it says it is.
This tells us that the magician is always at a disadvantage - he doesn't know! Unfortunately, Aleister Crowley did not help us when invoking the Goetia when he described them as aspects of the mind. Quite why torturing the mind is going to work, I do not know. The truth is, if the magician is in the Zone, relaxed, attentive and alert, he will be able to communicate with the Goetia, if they so desire. It is interesting that the first contact with the Goetia is through dreams, with the common thread that they do not look the way they were expected to look like! If the spirits do not look like what you expect, how on earth are you supposed to visualise them?
Think about it. If you see the spirit you have visualised, what have you seen? Your visualisation. The mind can easily play tricks, as the various magical journals proclaim (actually, they say the spirit plays tricks). So the magician then has to go through the laborious process of interrogation and confirmation to see if the contact is genuine.
What sensations do you get when contacting the spirit? Again, if you read the journals, it is Gothic, scary, just like a horror movie, complete with changes in temperature, the stench of various powerful perfumes that are supposed to help invoke the reluctant spirit. Physically, there can be all kinds of sensations, some of them overpowering.
Let me tell you my experience, and the experience of my colleagues. There may be a trace of the scent of rose. There is no change of temperature. My awareness does not change, except to expand. Physically, I am relaxed. I can be walking down the road, or sitting at my computer, chatting via instant messenger to a colleague, who is also seeing the same spirits. Notice the plurality - we see the entire company of the spirits, and where necessary one or two of them in particular depending on what needs to be done. Spirits are not experienced externally - I do not use magical circles - they are formed within the awareness, which means that they can be seen either separately, or within myself, still within the awareness.
You see, there is no invocation - I think of them, and they are there; it is happening as I type this blog. If I think of them, it means they are there. The fact is, it is the spirits who desire contact with us, so apart from being receptive, balanced, calm, peaceful, and non-prejudiced, there is a very good chance we will see them.
I said visualisation is pointless, but I have to say that they do look like the classic descriptions, which aids identification. I often get the name before I see the spirit, and I will either 'hear' it (i.e., a thought), or see the name. If more ID is required, then the spirit will appear as it is supposed to. There is no externalisation here, so don't expect a full size spirit standing before you. In fact, gross materialization is entirely pointless, a waste of energy. If the communication is good, and the work is done, why need more than that? All the parapsychological apparatus used by ghost hunters will not see one tiny blip, before, during or after.
If the spirits are not part of the mind or brain, what are they aspects of? Consciousness, pure and simple. We can measure brain waves, but we cannot measure consciousness.
Attitude is also important, and respect. If you want results, forget about exploitation. They are not there to do your bidding, get you laid, or all those other reasons for invoking spirits. If that is the case, what is the point? Spiritual development. Spiritual development for the magician, and for the Spirits. Spirits want to evolve and work with man. If you adhere to the philosophy behind the Tree of Life, that statement is incomprehensible. Spirits are supposed to be jealous of man's progress. Spirits cannot evolve- they are stuck at their own level. That, I am afraid, is our arrogance that blinds us to progress. Partnership, not domination is the key.
I have used the term 'Goetia' and 'Goetic' purely because that is what we think they are, but actually they should be known as Jinn, their correct term. The Jinn are described in the Koran, where there are no techniques for invocation. This is significant. Devotion to God, reciting the Names of God, and understanding the relationship the Jinn have to God, the Prophets and mankind is the key. Forget the sensationalist, ignorant and prejudiced comments about the Jinn - it is all rubbish.
Now, you might object that none of the names of the Goetic spirits are arabic. This is true. Some of them are clearly names of pagan gods, and many of the others are probably corrupt. Think of this, how many times has the name of a country changed? Here in the UK, I am English born in London, I now live on the south coast in Brighton, and my country is England, the United Kingdom, or Great Britain, or an Island on the northwest coast of Europe. All of them are correct, and the shape of the island I live on is instantly recognisable. I have answered to all of these titles at some time or another - names change. What does not change so quickly is form. Everybody has seen the landmarks of London in photos and films; the red buses, Houses of Parliament, the Thames, etc. Even though these landmarks change, they are familiar. This tells us that the name can change, but the form rarely does.
Contacting the spirits is similar. Vedic systems discuss nama, rupa, or name and form. Knowing the name and form of a spirit is enough for the adept to contact, communicate, and gain knowledge. So, even though we know that Jinn is the correct term, we can still use the westernised Goetic names, and the classic descriptions of them. In fact, that is all the information on the Goetia that I use now. I have discarded terms such as Marquis, President, etc, and the 'powers' (which are so medieval and dated, no use for the modern world), and the numbers of legions.
So, to summarise, how should you feel when you contact the Jinn? Normal. Do you need ritual robes, wands, swords, and other impedimenta? No. Does the atmosphere change? No. They appear in your own awareness, speaking your language. In fact the experience is so subtle, that the biggest danger is missing them entirely!

Transparent Tanks

Posted in WikinutGuidesTechnologyOptics
The only provable element of the idea to date being the base physics, but even solid designs employing such meta-materials in invisibility coatings could be far too expensive to be worthwhile.
Transparent Tanks
As battlefield technologies get ever more sophisticated, the stuff of 70s science fiction is becoming fact, the latest breakthrough being the development, by British defence company BAE Systems, of an invisibility cloak technology, effectively hiding vehicles from view in the infra-red spectrum. it would seem that invisibility on demand is imminent.
According to Army research office boffin Dr richard Hammond, military scientists are no more than two or three years away, using so-called meta materials, from being capable of manufacturing devices allowing unprecedented extreme control over the flow of light, theoretically also able to deflect radar and other sensors as well.
A full-spectrum invisibility coating that is both practical and affordable for both personnel and equipment is still impractical as yet, the only provable element of the idea to date being the base physics, but even solid designs employing such meta-materials in invisibility coatings could be far too expensive to be worthwhile.
During a Tuesday Pentagon teleconference last week, Hammond spoke of other possible applications for the meta materials, including the construction of lenses capable of zooming to micron levels, making microscopically small things detectable using what would basically be binoculars, focussing the tiniest amounts of ambient light and using it as a power source.
This patented system has been dubbed Adaptiv, uings an hexagonal pixels matrix able to rapidly adapt their temperature, helping. on-board cameras to sweep the area, picking up background scenery and displaying infra-red signatures, allowing even moving tanks effective invisibility in the infra-red spectrum, hiding vehicles from heat-seeking missiles, drones and heat-sensitive goggles.
BAE Systems engineers commented that previous attempts at similar cloaking devices were inefficient because of excessive power demand or fragile construction , but the latest can provide useful armour protection using relatively low levels of power, especially when vehicles are in stealth mode, pixel panels coming in different sizes for invisibility at greater ranges.
Resolution needed to hide tanks is high, but disguising much larger objects at longer distances should in theory be much easier. BAE systems amazing technology will be on view at the UK Defence and Security Equipment International exhibition in September, and hopes for similar success in other parts of the electro-magnetic spectrum over the coming years.

From what I've been reading, we are going to see two new Iowa polls today. Zogby and Strategic Vision.
First Poll: Strategic Vision http://politicalwire.com/archives/2007/1 2/05/obama_opens_wider_lead_in_iowa_huck abee_tops_romney.html
Political Wire got an advance look at a new Strategic Vision poll in Iowa that shows Sen. Barack Obama expanding his lead in the first caucus state with 32% support, followed by John Edwards and Sen. Hillary Clinton tied for second at 25%.
That's the Democratic primary.
Now for Strategic Vision on the Republican Primary
Among Republicans, Mike Huckabee leads 27% support, followed by Mitt Romney at 24%, Rudy Giuliani at 13%, Fred Thompson at 11%.

As the sound designer on the set of Lincoln, Ben Burtt was charged with the daunting task of lending aural authenticity to Steven Spielberg's Civil War-era drama. Burtt, a Hollywood veteran whose resumé includes work on Star Wars and E.T., quickly realized that he wouldn't have access to audio from Lincoln's time — sound recording only became a reality in the 1870s. — and that he couldn't rely on standard battle sounds, either, given the subdued nature of Spielberg's screenplay. On a set where historical accuracy was held sacrosanct, Burtt faced arguably the most challenging of jobs — creating sounds for an era that history has left silent.
Yet even within these constrained parameters, Burtt still strove for the highest in authenticity, as he explained in a recent interview with SoundWorks Collection. The designer began by poring over documents and primary accounts from the 1860s in an attempt to identify the church bells, steam engines, and other ambient sounds Lincoln may have heard during a typical day in Washington, DC. He then went hands-on, traveling to museums and even the White House to record the actual door creaks and clock chimes that echoed more than 140 years ago.
Spielberg's sounds come straight from the source
In fact, Burtt spent hours at the White House recording sounds from three clocks and several mahogany doors that have survived since the Lincoln administration. As a result, every door slam or key turn heard in the movie comes not from the set, but directly from the source itself.
In perhaps his most impressive achievement, Burtt even tracked down the pocket watch that Lincoln is believed to have worn on the night of his assassination at Ford's Theater. With permission from the Kentucky Historical Society, he wound up the watch and made it tick for the first time in more than a century, recording its noise within a customized soundproof box. This detail, Burtt says, imbues the film with an extra layer of intimacy, recreating the metronomic sounds that only Lincoln himself would have heard.

In this article, I examine differences across national regimes in provincial taxation in Argentina from 1959–2001 and compare them to sub-national regimes under national democracy. I argue that elections fundamentally shape taxation by guiding career incentives of provincial leaders. Under autocratic regimes, sub-national leaders have strong motivation to tax because they answer to national leaders who reward extraction. I find that national autocrats tax at higher levels, using more difficult taxes. In democratic systems, governors judged by local constituents use political resources to avoid taxation. Governors in closed electoral regimes generally collect less tax revenue than governors in competitive provinces, but this effect is largely driven by national coalition-building and privileged access to national resources. An important difference across sub-national regime type is incidence – closed provinces extract disproportionately from the dependent business sector. 2014-04-17T12:45:10+02:00 http://journals.sub.uni-hamburg.de/giga/jpla/article/view/730 Subnational Electoral Contexts and Corruption in Mexico 2014-04-17T12:45:17+02:00 Brian M. Faughnan firstname.lastname@example.com Jonathan T. Hiskey email@example.com Scott D. Revey firstname.lastname@example.com Scholars of the world's most recent democratization processes have tended to focus on how national-level institutions have developed and how citizens have interpreted and responded to those developments. In this paper, we argue that the distinct subnational political environments that emerge from uneven national regime transitions are important determinants of how people view their political world. Specifically, we argue that citizens' experiences with and attitudes towards corruption are particularly influenced by the subnational political context in which those citizens live. We use survey data from across Mexico to test our theoretical expectations that a multi-party electoral context will heighten citizens' awareness of corruption as a governance issue, even as their chances of being victimized by corrupt behavior is reduced. Conversely, we posit that one-party electoral environments should facilitate a "business as usual" attitude toward corruption among government officials and citizens. As efforts to deepen democracy and improve governance continue across the developing world, our findings highlight the need to incorporate subnational political processes into efforts to under-stand and address such critical issues as corruption and its consequences. 2014-04-17T12:45:17+02:00 http://journals.sub.uni-hamburg.de/giga/jpla/article/view/731 Determinants of Judicial Dissent in Contexts of Extreme Institutional Instability: The Case of Ecuador's Constitutional Court 2014-04-17T12:45:20+02:00 Santiago Basabe-Serrano email@example.com; email@example.com This article identifies the variables that explain the dissenting legal vote in courts that operate under conditions of extreme institutional instability. Drawing on three logistic regression models, this article proposes that judges' ideological preferences constitute a good predictor of the dissenting vote. Contrary to the classic argument, which indicates that the instability of judges encourages strategic voting, this article argues that this relationship can be demonstrated only up to a certain point – that is, until an exponential increase in institutional instability leads the judges to vote sincerely, even when this means being part of a minority or "losing" coalition. 2014-04-17T12:45:20+02:00 http://journals.sub.uni-hamburg.de/giga/jpla/article/view/732 Great Promise, but Poor Performance: Understanding the Collapse of Venezuela's Causa Radical 2014-04-17T12:45:23+02:00 Daniel Nogueira-Budny email@example.com Rising meteorically to national prominence amidst the collapse of Venezuela's ossified two-party system, the leftist Radical Cause (LCR) seemed poised to ease the country's crisis of representation and win the presidency in 1993. Instead, it imploded, paving the way for radical populist Hugo Chávez. How can the poor performance of a party with such great promise be explained? This article explains LCR's initial success and eventual failure through the party's adoption of internally democratic mechanisms. Its highly participatory approach attracted progressive groups, helping LCR's early "meteoric" success. But it also sowed the seeds of LCR's collapse: the absence of formalized decision-making rules and hierarchical leadership hindered the resolution of a political impasse. Internal democracy proved harmful to institutional growth and prevented the party from confronting factional conflict and instituting much-needed reforms in the long run. It is not only a heavy hierarchy and bureaucracy that prevent political change, but also the opposite in a base democracy. 2014-04-17T12:45:23+02:00 http://journals.sub.uni-hamburg.de/giga/jpla/article/view/733 Partisan Protesters and Nonpartisan Protests in Brazil 2014-04-17T12:45:26+02:00 Matthew S. Winters email@example.com Rebecca Weitz-Shapiro firstname.lastname@example.com In young democracies with weak parties, there is some evidence that partisan identification may shift in response to short-term government performance. The massive protests that erupted in Brazil in June 2013 sharply increased the salience of, and public attention to, poor government performance and took most observers by surprise. They were also widely depicted as nonpartisan or even antipartisan. We use two well-timed surveys to examine the effects of the protests on mass partisanship. We find that the protests led to increased nonpartisanship and decreased attachment to the governing Partido dos Tra-balhadores (Workers' Party, PT) among the public as a whole. We also show that small leftist parties were more broadly represented among protesters than has been previously recognized. 2014-04-17T12:45:26+02:00

Garifuna music contains Afro-Indian, Hispanic, and English Creole influences. Within Garifuna music, call and response chanting often overlaps to create a constant stream of sound. The traditional segunda (bass) and primero (treble) drums provide unrelenting polyrhythms for ceremonial dances like the chumba, the hunguhungu, and the punta. Other songs feature gentle strumming with solo singing and are intended for listening, rather than dancing, audiences. Liner notes include in-depth description of the history of the Garifuna people and their music.

The Vermilion County Sheriff's Department is searching for a driver involved in a hit and run with a school bus Thursday morning.
An older body Chevrolet Blazer is being sought as the vehicle in the accident, which took place at 7:37 a.m. Thursday at the intersection of North Bowman Avenue and Liberty Lane.
Sheriff's department Capt. Dennis Wood said the school bus with 17 children on board was headed toward Liberty Elementary School at the time of the accident. No injuries were reported from the bus.
The bus, Wood said, was northbound on North Bowman Avenue and turning west onto Liberty Lane when the eastbound SUV hit the bus near the rear wheel as it turned south onto Bowman Avenue. Damage to the school bus was considered minor.
Wood said officers searched for the SUV immediately following the accident without success.
The suspect vehicle was last seen headed southbound on North Bowman Avenue. It is described as either dark blue or dark colored and, as a result of the impact, should have significant damage to the driver's side front end.


text: Brett Myers is seeking out a second opinion on his hip, which forced him to exit his last start, and will, more than likely, force him to miss at least one surgery. The initial diagnosis seemed to indicate that surgery would be required to repair his labrum, which would obviously cost him a bulk of the remainder of the season, if not all of it. With the Phillies most currently hyped (maybe?) pitching prospects, Drabek and Knapp, both in A ball, how do you think they would replace Myers in the rotation? Feel free to discuss trade possibilities as well.

Woman 'furious' as raw sewage is left to dry in garden ten days after blockage in North Finchley
Updated 1:21pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Natalie O'Neill
Dried human faeces have been left scattered around a North Finchley garden and alleyway ten days after a drain spewed out gallons of raw sewage.
Lisa Kira said her health was put at risk after a blockage stopped her sinks and toilet draining properly on January 31, leaving an "awful" smell throughout her home in Percy Road.
The next day a drainage company attempted to solve the problem, but as sewage spilled into the 42-year-old's garden, they said she should contact Thames Water.
Miss Kira, PA to the CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, said: "Thames Water sent two engineers who then told me it wasn't their problem. My entire garden was covered in thick lumps of poo and it was all over my garden furniture. It absolutely stank – it was horrendous.
"The next day Thames Water refused to send anyone else and I just broke down. I was furious."
The sewage made Miss Kira ill, and she was forced to leave her home and sleep on a friend's sofa.
She added: "It took a desperate phone call from my friend before Thames Water finally sent someone. It turned out to be a manhole that was blocked in the road.
"They've cleared most of the sewage but I've still got dried poo all over my garden and it's in the alleyway as well.
"This is my second week off work because I've been so ill. I'm really annoyed at the way Thames Water is dealing with the situation. They did not want to accept responsibility when all along it was their problem. Ten days later and I'm still suffering."
Thames Water told the Times Series it is under "enormous strain" due to flooding and is investigating the incident.
A spokesman said: "We know many of our customers are having a difficult time dealing with flooding. We're under enormous strain too – with a network that's only supposed to take wastewater being inundated with floodwater, we're working extremely hard to manage sewer levels.
"Teams are working around the clock, our resources are stretched and we're on constant high alert, but we're doing our best in difficult circumstances."

No surprises in indoor sixes semi-finals (From Falmouth Packet)

No surprises in indoor sixes semi-finals
8:08am Thursday 30th January 2014 in Sport By Michael Weeks
There were no shocks in Sunday's CCB Sixes Knockout Cup semi-finals, as the big guns strolled to their expected appointment in this Sunday's Final.
Falmouth could only manage 78 all out in the first match, Guernsey international Ed Farley making 23 of them.
Truro skipper Kyle van Rooyen scored 26 not out in the reply, with the match ending in the ninth over of twelve.
St Gluvias, playing a man short, did well to take four of St Austell's wickets in the first half of their innings, three of these to Jake Preston.
However, Gary Bone (71no) and Steve Raven (63) steadied the ship and scored almost at will in the closing overs as the total passed 150.
This was too much for St Gluvias who finished over a hundred short, but they at least had the satisfaction of avoiding being bowled out.
The day's only League fixture saw a big win for Ladock over Stithians.
Carl Murphy held the Ladock innings together, with 44no, as they made the good total of 117 for 5. This was too much for the western side, who capitulated to 36 all out, Patrick Morgan returning the excellent figures of 2 for 2 in two overs.
Results: Premier League – Ladock 117-5, Stithians 36 (Ladock won by 81 runs); Knockout Cup - Falmouth 78, Truro 80-1 (Truro won by 5 wickets); St Austell 157-5, St Gluvias 48-4 (St Austell won by 109 runs).

Whew, it's been a crazy few days in the college realignment rumor mill. But today we're learning that as soon as Friday the first realignment domino could fall and start a chain reaction that will likely affect Maryland and the ACC in one way or another. A story by Lee Barfknecht at the Omaha World-Herald says Nebraska could join the Big 10 as early as Friday. Here is SBNation's Nebraska site, Corn Nation's, take on the talk. That certainly is an accelerated timeline from what the Big 10 said a few weeks ago and is undoubtedly a reaction to rumors that the Pac-10 was trying to quickly steal away most of the Big 12 South.
So what does this mean for Maryland and the ACC?
Well, that all depends on who and how many additional schools the Big 10 adds. If they only go to 14 teams (adding Nebraska, Rutgers and Notre Dame), that might not make the SEC expand. But even if the Big 10 only goes to 14, it seems as if the Pac-10 is still trying to become the first 16-team super conference, which would make a league like the SEC act. And while Nebraska to the Big 10 seems logical, what Notre Dame does is still up in the air and will also have an effect on the ACC as the Big 10 might target an ACC school as a 2nd tier option.
Regardless, I think the ACC's apparent lack of readiness in all of this is shocking and a little alarming. As a conference that raided the Big East a few years ago, you'd think they'd be experienced in this arena. And maybe they're prepared to act, but don't want to tip their hand. If that's the case, I'll tip my hat at them. But every time I hear ACC Commish John Swofford speak, he just makes it sound like the ACC isn't concerned about expansion and thinks it won't effect his 12 teams. I just wish the ACC would be the aggressor again and target schools like Pitt, Syracuse, and then maybe East Carolina (because you know the NC-focused conference is going to want that) and maybe another Florida team (like USF) because FSU and Miami will likely hold leverage over the conference with the treat of joining the SEC and want more FL team to join the ACC. If the ACC did that, they could be the first to 16, renegotiate their TV deal (which quietly still hasn't been officially signed...a possible sign that they know something is coming and will want to restructure the deal? Maybe), and sit back and relax. But at the moment, it appears the ACC is going to have to be defending against conferences trying to steal teams away from the ACC, having to ponder expansion, and reacting to the moves of the other major conferences, all within the next few months.
This is going to be a crazy summer, folks.

— What is the best-dressed outdoorsman wearing to prom this year?
For Michael Courson, the answer is obvious: a Mossy Oak breakup camouflage tux with an orange tie and orange pocket square. And, of course, his date would be dressed in camouflage, as well.
Courson, a senior at Bismarck-Henning High School, attended his prom recently in full camo attire, complete with boots and cap. Sierra Compton, a junior at Hoopeston Area High School, accompanied him in a camouflage dress with an orange belt — and cowgirl boots.
The couple also went to Compton's prom in camouflage, but Courson didn't have the full outfit at that time. Hoopeston's prom was scheduled two weeks earlier than Bismarck's, and the young man wore a black tux with a camouflage vest.
"Everybody got a kick out of it," Compton said about the reaction at Hoopeston. "People are still talking about it."
The staff at Seno Formal Wear in the Village Mall was excited about the couple's look, as well.
"We haven't had this much excitement in a long time," co-manager Kristy Cruea said when Courson came by to get fitted for his camo tux.
Co-manager Megan Hughes said a lot of guys have asked about the camo tux, but Courson was the first one to actually order it.
"I think it's pretty cool," she said. "I love the orange with it."
Jerry Courson, Michael's dad, who was wearing a camo cap, supports the look, too, saying, "I think it's great." His son grew up outdoors and has been going hunting with him since he was 3 years old.
The younger Courson came up with the idea of going to prom in camouflage when he saw pictures on the Internet. He went to Seno in early March and asked if a camo tux could be ordered, and they said yes.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Look for a large, triangular roof at one third height in the center of the cliff; the first pitch begins directly beneath this. The second pitch is the unmistakable, giant, right-facing dihedral above. Fairly burly 5.10 moves pull a small roof ten feet off the ground to gain a nice crack. Follow the crack not quite all the way up to the large triangular roof and make a spicy traverse right (hardish 5.8) to the roof's right edge. Pull around into a corner and find a nice fingercrack in a slab on the left. A sweet set of fingerlocks deposit you on a nice sloping ledge with modern belay bolts on its left edge. For the second pitch, execute a pair of strange mantle-type maneuvers moving right across two left-facing corner features (10a). From here, the route-finding is obvious; climb the gorgeous, and enormous, right-facing corner via fingerlocks and stems. The pitch, and the route, end below the massive roof above at a pin / bolt anchor. Make two 100' rapells back to the base.
Standard rack.

This beer pours a cloudy golden orange with a huge foamy head. The aroma of this beer was all yeast mostly bananna with a hint of medicinal smell. Taste was mostly yeast, with bananna being the strongest flavor but hints of clove were present as well. Mouthfeel was good, this beer was creamy and well carbonated. Excellent session beer, enough going on to keep you intrested..

Appearance This one is a cloudy orange in color with a huge, monster, Hefe head that just would not go away.
Smell The yeast here is huge and pure German Hefe. There is a monster banana scent as well that just attacks the olfactory bulb. The few other smells are typical of the style, but its the big wheat and banana that demand attention here.
Taste This is one of the few American-made Hefe Weizens where the nose makes it to the tongue. A lot of them smell like the real deal, but few of them taste like it. This one delivers in spades.
The wheat is pure German and oh so precious. The banana is huge and brings along some light orange and clove notes. Together this all makes for an excellent flavor profile.
Mouthfeel This Hefe is light to medium-bodied and very fluffy in between the cheeks, just like the style demands. It is teasingly tingly and very pleasant to hold in the mouth.
Drinkability This Weizen is creamy and is so comfortable to drink you almost forget that youre drinking it. This is how a Hefe Weizen should taste.
Comments I stopped by this brewery with skyhand and the owner was nice enough to give us a taste of his private stash. What a treat that was.

A friend of mine had been trying to get me to try this for over a year after having just moved back to the states from Munich, the home of Schneider, Erdinger, Wiehenstephaner, etc. Having had the experience that Americans by and large can't tell you what a Weisbier is, let alone brew one, I was skeptical and trying it had to wait until he was the one providing the keg at a house warming. In short, this is an awesome Weiss, rivaling the Muenchners. Strong points - citrusy, floral aroma without the banana smell that many Weisse have, but yet still a full-bodied, ever so slightly hoppy taste, not at all watery. Weak on the large head, even when using the proper glassware and not as crisp and bubbly as I would like.

So, I'm a hefe lover. Until I went to Germany, I was pretty damn convinced I was not a beer drinker. I'd tried, but had precisely zero beers that appealed to me. I got on the plane with every notion of not having any beer while I was there. So I landed in the Fatherland, hopped the train from Frankfurt to Ansbach, and met my sister-in-law for dinner. We went out with a couple of friends of hers to a gasthof, where they insisted I have a hefeweizen. I agreed, with the caveat that I probably wouldn't like it. I was wrong. I fell in love immediately, and my entire budget for that trip was blown.
Ever since I came back from that trip going on, what, fifteen years now, I've been searching for the perfect American hefe that I could drink here. I was excited to hear such rave reviews for the Baron hefe, thinking "Great, there's a place here in Seattle that will deliver the goods for me." Unfortunately, that isn't the case. I found it on tap today at the 74th Street Ale House, and was horribly disappointed.
Appearance: Lovely cloudy gold, with a relative minimum amount of bubble action going on. Oddly, though, there is absolutely no head. None. I'm totally thrown by this, as it gives it the appearance of a freakin' Pyramid.
Smell: I expectantly put my nose to the glass, ready for a snootfull of bananas, cloves and nuttiness. It's there, but you really have to look for it. Not the nose I expected at all, and very disappointing.
Taste: I'm still hopeful that this beer is going to deliver the goods, but the taste is as weak as the nose. Just a hint of the yeasty spiciness I expect from a hefe. Truth be known, it tastes a lot like the Bayern I just reviewed. Like the yeast had been dumbed down for American audiences. I'm not happy.
Mouthfeel: This is the best part of the beer, one that nails the style fairly well. The only drawback is the relative lack of carbonation. I'd like a lot more head and bubbles in this thing.
Drinkability: I can't give it more than a 3.5. I'm hoping against hope that this was a bad keg, and I will definitely give it a shot again. But I had my one glass, and then moved onto the Alpine Oktoberfest, which I enjoyed quite a bit more. So far the hands down winner of the Great American Hefeweizen Brew-Off is Cape Cod's.

I had this hefe as a last salute to the summer which kept going throughout Sept. in the PNW. I wish I had chosen a better Beer. The weak point of this beer is that lack of what makes this style great, banana and cloves with a fresh bubblegum finish. This beer tasted and smelled more like Widmer than Paulaner. Too bad as I had hoped for more from a German specialist like Baron.

I had Baron Bavarian Weizen at the Flying Pig in Everett, served in a pint glass.
Pours a pale yellow color and is hazy, with a thin fizzy head.
Smell is fruity, pineapple maybe, with a bit of a cologne smell.
Taste is curious and a bit odd. There are oft fruit flavors, a citrus taste, and a hint of melted butter, like the butter on movie popcorn.
Mouthfeel is wet and light.
A drinkable brew, but with an odd taste. It might be better in appropriate glassware, but I'll probably pass on this one in the future.
