Mike Parkin
Sterling, Sturridge & Rooney in my England XI
Tags: England, Sony Handycam ®
England's opening game against Italy in Manaus is a big one for a number of reasons. A game against the Azzurri is always an event in itself, but it takes on even greater significance at a World Cup Finals, with both teams looking to stamp their authority on a tricky looking Group D.
England's recent poor showings at World Cups have been characterised by sluggish starts, so Roy Hodgson will be keen to try and halt this trend, whilst also shaking off his tag as a cautious coach in the process. He has been bullish in interviews, stating that: "We will be brave, we will believe in ourselves and we will risk defeat. We won't try and sneak our way through the games" which will be music to England supporters' ears.
The first game in Manaus will be doubly challenging due to the extreme humidity, but this shouldn't be used as an excuse for Roy to renege on his promise to send out teams to win games, and with this in mind, this is the line-up I'd go with for the opener in the magnificent Arena Amazonia.
Hart; Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines; Gerrard, Henderson; Sterling, Lallana; Rooney, Sturridge.
First name on the team-sheet was Joe Hart. Whilst Manchester City have had a quieter season than many had anticipated, Hart's International experience will be invaluable at the tournament, and whilst Hart has been prone to a few high-profile mistakes, I expect the City stopper to excel in Brazil. A special mention should go to Ben Foster, whose return to the International fold is most welcome. A solid, reliable and experienced keeper, Foster will serve as an excellent deputy.
It is the defensive unit that provides Hodgson with his biggest headache. No back four has looked 100% happy in recent times, so the defence coming together when it counts will be a major factor in England's progression. Gary Cahill has had an excellent season with Chelsea, whilst I'd choose Phil Jagielka as his central partner. If these two can hold it together in the early games, confidence will grow and they could form a formidable partnership.
In Glen Johnson and Leighton Baines England have two defenders that are also excellent at linking up with their attacking counterparts, and providing a threat going forward will be a vital part of Hodgson's plans. If given the freedom, these two from opposite sides of Stanley Park could prove to be vital components.
The midfield quartet of Gerrard, Henderson, Lallana and Sterling is as an exciting proposition as England has seen for some time. The Liverpool trio will be in Brazil on the back of an unforgettable Premier League season, and their confidence should be sky high. Raheem Sterling continues to excite, and if he can take his league form into the tournament in Brazil, England fans should be in for a treat. Henderson's inclusion is testament to the improvements he's made under Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers.
The final two places go to Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge. Rooney has a wealth of experience to draw on and after a hugely disappointing season with Manchester United, he will be keen to re-establish his credentials on the world stage. Rooney was lacklustre in South Africa, and he will be as keen as anyone to turn in an improved performance. Daniel Sturridge has had an extraordinary season in the red of Liverpool, and he'll see no reason not to repeat his goal-scoring exploits with the Three Lions on his chest. As confident as he is gifted, Sturridge could prove to be one of the stars of the World Cup.

Opening Statement of Sen. Carl Levin, SASC Navy Posture Hearing
Thursday, March 15, 2012
I want to welcome Secretary Mabus, Admiral Greenert and General Amos to the Committee this morning to testify on the plans and programs of the Department of the Navy in our review of the fiscal year 2013 annual budget and overseas contingency operations request. We greet Admiral Greenert as he makes his first appearance before the Committee as Chief of Naval Operations. And we want to wish General Amos good health as he recovers from a visit to the flight surgeon.
We are grateful to each of you for your service to the nation and for the valorous and truly professional service of the men and women under your command. And we are very grateful also to their families, knowing for the vital role families play in the success of careers and missions of our armed forces.
Two recent changes make the defense budget situation challenging for the services: (1) The Budget Control Act passed by Congress last summer places limitations on funding for our national security; (2) Adapting to its changing role in the new strategic guidance announced by the President last January.
The Defense Department's most recent defense strategic guidance, issued in January, refocuses the U.S. military on the Asia-Pacific and, consistent with that strategy, the Defense Department has been working to realign U.S. military forces in countries like South Korea and Japan, and also plans to position Navy and Marine Corps forces further to the south in countries like Australia, Singapore, and possibly others.
As we rebalance and realign our presence in the Asia Pacific, it is important that we not only get strategy right, but also get sustainability right. This is particularly true for the Marine Corps. With respect to the realignment of the U.S. Marines on Okinawa, for example, Senator McCain, Senator Webb and I have advocated changes to the current plan in ways that support the strategic goals of the U.S. military posture in the region, while also accounting for the fiscal, political and diplomatic realities associated with long-term sustainability. Last month, the U.S. and Japan announced that they intend to amend certain elements of the plan, including the delinking of the movement of Marines off Okinawa from the progress on the Futenma Replacement Facility and adjusting the unit composition and number of Marines that will move to Guam. As the details of these changes are finalized, it is important that any changes be jointly agreed upon and jointly announced with Japan, with the goal of achieving a more viable and sustainable U.S. presence in Japan and on Guam.
As we discuss the budget issues here at home, our thoughts are principally focused on places far from here. Nearly 20,000 Marines are partnered with an approximately equal number of Afghan security forces in Afghanistan in the effort to bring security and stability to the people of that country. In addition, our Navy forces at sea in the Central Command (CENTCOM) are joined by another 10,000 sailors on the ground, most supporting our combat forces in Afghanistan.
We all deeply regret the tragic loss of civilian life in Afghanistan, apparently caused by one of our soldiers last week. The investigation of that incident needs to go forward expeditiously and transparently, with the due process that is also one of those core values that we hold dear as Americans. We should not lose sight of the fact that our goals remain clear: train indigenous Afghan forces to provide for the security of the Afghan people and support them while they get larger and stronger and more capable. The Taliban's goals are just as clear: they regularly engage in terrorist acts against Afghan civilians in an attempt to achieve their political aims. We should not let one tragic incident which violates our laws and values to muddy the difference between the Taliban and most of the rest of the world.
Last year, we saw how naval forces could support national goals on short notice in Libya. Among those forces we had: (1) missile-launching ships that struck Libyan targets; (2) military aircraft supporting coalition operations, and (3) unmanned aerial vehicles providing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) support.
Navy and Marine Corps forces also played a significant role in aiding the Japanese tsunami relief effort. On our visit to Japan, the people, still stunned, were grateful to the United States for the assistance we provided.
The use and possible use of our forces overseas makes it even more important that our budget provide for their success and well-being. Our witnesses this morning are faced with a number of large challenges that confront the Department of the Navy in the budget – such as balancing modernization needs against the costs of supporting ongoing operations.
Indeed, we face a number of issues that will need our attention as we review the DOD authorization request:
- Making reductions to the shipbuilding plan and retiring ships earlier than planned. The result will be that the fleet will not grow to the previously stated goal of 313 ships, but fall from its current level of 288 and only return to the level of 288 at the end of the FYDP. The Navy had made modest progress in increasing the size of the Navy fleet from a low of 274 ships in March 2007, but that progress would be suspended with this budget.
- Retiring seven (7) Aegis cruisers earlier than planned, rather than modernizing them.
- Delaying the Ohio Replacement Program, or SSBN(X), by two years although the Navy testified just last year that we needed to maintain the original SSBN(X) schedule to ensure that we meet our strategic deterrent patrol requirements.
- Reducing the end strength of the active component of the Marine Corps from 202 thousand beginning this fiscal year to 182 thousand by the end of FY16.
- Modernizing the amphibious tractor fleet with programs for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) and the Marine Personnel Carrier (MPC) that would replace the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) cancelled last year.
In this authorization request we are also being asked to commit future Congresses to several multiyear procurement programs, including ones for Virginia-class submarine, DDG-51 Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyers, and V-22 tactical lift aircraft.
If we approve these proposals, we will be monitoring these closely to ensure that the Department actually achieves the proposed savings, and gets costs under control in other acquisition programs. The future strength of the Navy depends on holding firm on its cost reduction efforts and expanding them, across the whole acquisition portfolio.
The Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 requires that the Defense Department make significant changes in its regulations and procedures governing the acquisition system. While this legislation should help correct past problems, I also know that we will succeed only through concerted efforts within the Executive Branch to implement that legislation. I look forward to hearing how the Department of the Navy is proceeding to implement the provisions of this Act.
In addition to concern about future ship force levels, naval aviation's force levels are under pressure. The Navy is planning to conduct a service life extension program on some 150 F-18 aircraft already in the inventory. Also, the Navy budget would continue to buy additional F-18 aircraft as was planned before, but the budget would buy fewer Marine Corps and Navy versions of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft than we had planned at this time last year.
On that point, we saw Secretary Panetta remove the F-35B short take-off/vertical landing variant of the F-35 from a probationary status a year earlier than planned. Senator McCain and I questioned that action, particularly since the fixes to the problems that caused Secretary Gates to put the F-35B on probation in the first place have not completed testing. When we asked the Secretary about this, the answer was, in effect, that the F-35B has made progress in testing and is in no worse shape than the other F-35B variants. While I am pleased that the F-35B has improved testing performance in the past year, it seems to me that it is too early to declare any victories.
I want to commend the Secretary for fully funding this year's ship depot maintenance account. It is the first time that the budget request of an administration has done that in recent history. While our submarine fleet has benefitted from 100 percent funded requirement for many years, and necessarily so, it is noteworthy that the surface fleet will receive similar treatment in the fiscal year 2013 budget. The readiness of the Navy's fleet is an essential element to our national security and I believe that a fully funded maintenance requirement is our best chance at ensuring our fleet reaches its expected service life. A backlog of ship and aircraft depot maintenance remains. With the decision to fund naval aircraft depot maintenance at 94 percent of the requirement, my understanding is that we now face a $160 million backlog for aircraft and $217 million backlog for ship maintenance. I am interested in hearing from the witnesses how the Navy plans to address and fund these backlogs to mitigate risk across our fleet.
Finally, I want to commend you, Secretary Mabus, for your effort to lead the Department in making energy efficiency and self-reliance such a priority. You have correctly placed a very strong emphasis on an area where, as strong as our military forces may be, we remain subject to the tyranny of energy supplies. Thanks for your commitment to a more sustainable, stronger Navy.

Top Innovation Bloggers of 2011
Well, I've got good news and great news to share with you.
First the good news: I was just voted the #1 innovation blogger in the world in a contest sponsored by Innovation Excellence, the #1 innovation blog in the world.
Now the great news: 2012 is going to be an awesome year for you -- full of happiness, abundance, creativity, collaboration, community, fun, gratitude and, yes, innovation. That is, if you want it to be.
I'd like to take this moment to thank all of you who voted for me. (And by the way, for those of you who think that all I do is write about innovation, please know that this is just a sideline).
My real work is in the trenches...
I'd also like to acknowledge some amazing people who have inspired and encouraged me throughout the years.
These include Evelyne Pouget, Tim Gallwey, Prentiss Uchida, Seth Godin, Gary Hamel, Ben Zander, Roger van Oech, Guy Kawasaki, Erika Andersen, Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir, Morihei Ueshiba, the entire Idea Champions team, Joe and Eddie, Ron Brent, Phyllis Rosen, Joan Apter and, most of all, Prem Rawat (aka Maharaji).
I first heard about Prem Rawat when he was 13 (and I was 24). At that very young age, he came to America (from India) to bring a very powerful message of peace -- a message he doesn't just talk about, but helps people experience for themselves.
He is not the first to talk about this message. Nor will he be the last. But he is here and now -- helping thousands of people, from all walks of life, go beyond ideas to find their way to the source of peace within themselves.
His dedication, brilliance, love, and endless commitment to innovating is a great source of inspiration to me.

New online map shows global links to all U.S. counties
A new online map unveiled Monday makes it easy for the first time to find out data such as the number of people born in another country, the number of people who work at import and export companies, and the number of students working to learn a foreign language.
McClatchy Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — How much every county in the America is connected to the rest of the world is now just a few mouse clicks away.
A new online map unveiled Monday with help from Cary, N.C., software company SAS makes it easy for the first time to find out a variety of data, such as the number of people born in another country, the number of people who work at import and export companies, and the number of students working to learn a foreign language.
The map was modeled on one developed for North Carolina's 100 counties last year by SAS and the University of North Carolina's Center for International Understanding. Its intended users are policymakers interested in learning more about the economic potential of global connections and students thinking about what kind of international skills might help them find jobs.
SAS donated the know-how for pulling together data from numerous sources into user-friendly interactive maps and graphics on a national level, just as it did a year ago for North Carolina.
"We have offices in more than 55 countries," said Caroline McCullen, director of education initiatives at SAS. "Our employees are very global, and we know it's a global world."
McCullen said it's not unusual to walk down a hallway at SAS and hear half a dozen languages being spoken. About 6,000 SAS employees work in North Carolina's Research Triangle out of nearly 14,000 company employees worldwide. The triangle is a research park near several major universities in the Raleigh area.
Being prepared for a global economy means not only being able to speak other languages, but also knowing how to work comfortably in other cultures, she said.
Jennifer Manise, executive director of the Longview Foundation, said that the data was meant to help show the need for students who fit that profile.
"We felt the North Carolina model at the national level would provide the fundamental starting point for that conversation," she said.
Longview, which supports international education for American students, and the Asia Society, which educates Americans about Asia, provided expertise and funding. The money was needed to buy economic data that has market value, Manise said. She said the monetary donation was not large, but that she could not disclose it.
North Carolina presented its map a year ago at a state-level gathering that Longview and the Asia Society sponsored, Manise said, and it triggered considerable enthusiasm. Many national organizations got together and agreed to be partners and pull the information together.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan, speaking at a news conference Monday to launch the map, said it would help people understand the demand for education to prepare Americans to become what he called "globally competent" workers.

Nov 2, 2009
Gertrude Dyck worked with The Evangelical Alliance Mission (TEAM) at Oasis Hospital for 38 years, from 1962 until her retirement from TEAM in 2000. Over those years she made many friends, both among the local people and from among her colleagues. A number of those colleagues are still here at the hospital. She died in her native Canada in October of 2009 at the age of 75.
During her many years at Oasis Hospital, Gertrude became affectionately known by the local people whom she served, as "Doctora Latifa". Latifa in Arabic is a word with deep meaning - gentle, merciful and kind. In the days immediately following her death, a number of local people who remember Gert's sacrificial service done in the love and compassion of Jesus Christ conveyed their condolences. The articles in both the English and Arabic papers, published here at the news of her passing, are yet another tribute to the lasting impression Gertrude Dyck made upon this land. You can read the articles in The National (the English paper) and Al Ittihad (in Arabic).
In recent years, Gertrude Dyck was officially recognized by the Health Authority for her service here. She also received two of Canada's highest honors for her work in the UAE: the prestigious Order of Canada and the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal. In addition, the Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi was planning to bring her back for the dedication of the Doctora Latifa library there, which will still be dedicated in her honor very soon.
Gertrude Dyck will be missed by many people here. Her passing brings us nearer to the end of an era -- that of those pioneers who came to the UAE before oil and wealth, serving the needs of a people whose population was in decline due to a lack of even the basics of modern healthcare. Additionally, one of her biggest contributions to Oasis Hospital, and the people here, is the photographs she took. The pictures she took of her life, her friends, and Oasis Hospital's growth and development now serve as an historical archive of the rapid changes the UAE has seen in the last 40 years.
Ultimately it was the way she served the people with the love and compassion of Jesus Christ that stands out to people as they think about "Doctora Latifa."

Projectors are what Just Projectors have been specialising in for the last 19 years. We provide advice on the phone listening to your requirements and although we are not a retail high street shop, this would increase our prices to cover the overheads but we are able to help you get the right projector as we have trained staff ready to receive your call to ensure you get best value for money and exactly the one for your needs . We have a network of projector installers to cover your area. On higher end models we can arrange a loan or demo. To understand what the benefits are of a projector, it is useful to know exactly what a it can do and also the different type of technologies which will help you decide which one maybe say more useful as a business projector rather than say a home cinema projector set-up. Firstly what is a projector; it is in fact an electrical device that when light is integrated with an optics system then the end result is a large image being displayed from say a computer , video source or a games console. Projectors can be manufactured in 5 main types, LCD, DLP LED, LASER-LED AND LCOS. Most are HD Projectors or HD Ready- there is a difference. When you buy off Just Projectors you can be sure that we are large enough to get you good pricing but small enough to treat each customer with care. We do have a telephone number and trained staff answering the phone. Just Projectors supply a range including BenQ DLP projectors, Sony LCD Projectors,Epson LCD projectors - a full range from entry level through to very high installation projectors,Infocus projectors are a big brand for us, we find that they have excellent pricing offering cheap projectors but good vlaue being the important thning with lots of features and an excellent waranty,Panasonic and many more. We offer bulk buy discounts which are often useful when buying education projectors, we are very popular for church projectors and we do offer an installation service. Our website allows you to filter down to your exact requirement but we feel it makes sense to call us to check you are gettign the best value and often cheapest projector to meet your requirements. We are in the top 3 of projector specialists in the UK, focusing on all aspects; business ,home cinema and projectors for schools. We believe we offer value not just cheap projectors uk warrantied rather than through other european countries which don't have the say high level of UK warranties or ease in which to get repaired. Just Projectors supply the UK but also a projector for Ireland, we offer a 2-3 day service to Ireland , sometimes it might be quicker but that is done to the courier.
DLP Projectors- which stands for digital light processing is the newest entrance and it has revolutionised not only the pricing but also the longevity of the projector. So what are DLP Projectors, well Texas Instruments back in 1987 developed the DLP chip. As with all things in the projector world things have moved on, in March 2008 the new DPP1500 chipset was developed which has brought about the Pico or micro projectors which amazingly means that it can be the size of a mobile phone, although it is time to say that these micro pico projectors still need to improve their light output to really be taken seriously.
DLP has evolved so much since the first few years and they have been the single biggest driver of the reduction in prices for projectors with the emergence of Brands such as BenQ (pronouced Ben-Q) , in fact many of the traditional LCD manufacturers have added to their range some. So DLP work in a different way from LCD Projectors.DLP work by thousands of mirrors set out in an array of pixels to replicate the projectors resolution. Each mirror is thinner than a firth of a human hair. With the use of hinges the dlp chip mirrors create light and dark pixels by being either off or on. The white light generated then is shone through a colour wheel of up to six colours. The human eye sees all the colours and the result is a full colour image.
Features about DLP are that they do not require you to maintain the machine regularly as they do not any filter, they tend to be lighter and they seem to have in general lower lamp life costs. They are able to achieve high contrast ratios which means blacks are black which is a particular favourite for a home cinema projector user. So after reading all this about DLP you might wonder why we sell other types such as LCD or Lcos Projectors, and in the past you could say that DLP struggled with accuracy of colours and the annoying rainbow effect which means you can look at the projector screen and see the primary colours flashing every now and then, some people never see it but others are prone to it. However let me dismiss the negavtivity about DLP which I once shared as DLP technology has improved. The colours are more accurate on DLP than before, and that is simply due to an improved number of segments on the colour wheel from in the old days with just 3 segments RGB (red ,green , blue ) meaning orange and reds were a problem with introduction of White, Magneto and in some cases Yellow we see now colours that coudl rival any LCD projector As for the rainbow effect which I was prone to see, the faster colour wheels on DLP have almost removed this totally, and the better made DLP brands such as BenQ, NEC, Viewsonic, Infocus it has almost completley disappeared. As you have to appreciate projectors are a collection of components and some manfucturers use better components. DLP in general other that the Ultra Short Throw range tend to be slightly longer throw ratio than LCD with a typical throw of 1.8-2 and the zoom (the ability to place in multiple positions) tends to be a little more restricted. DLP lamps tend not to fade so the projectors wil be as bright onthe first day of use as they are 2 years down the line.
LCD Projectors have been in existence longer than any other technology. The colours on these are extremely accurate and if you need a projector for use as a photographer or graphic designer in the past I would always recommend a LCD. How does an LCD or sometimes known as 3LCD projector actually work, well there are three liquid crystal panels , a lamp , prism and filters. In lamp shines white light through a polarizing filter, then a series of dichroic mirrors .The three colour red, green and blue are then sent to a separate LCD panel; remember there are three of them. From there the LCD panels send the light through the dichroic prism which recombines the light and sends it out the main lens in the LCD projector to the surface against which it is projected. Each LCD can control one colour. So if you were to see a picture of a red plane against a blue sky, the green LCD would block the light from passing to the dichroic prism and out the lens. In the past the accuracy of colours is the key reason why people choose LCD projectors, now I consider that LCD which are more expensive than DLP as still a force to be reckoned with but mainly on the higher range models where higher brightness is required and a better throw ratio. LCD are more diffcult to maintain, although there have been some models coming out with filter free less maintenance requirements. The projector lamp prices are higher and there is often deterioration over a period of time.The main manufacturers for LCD are Epson, Panasonic, NEC Hitachi, in the last year both Sanyo and Mitsubishi who were traditional LCD manufacturers have ceased produced on projectors, in Sanyo's case Panasonic have taken on the higher end range. When buying an LCD then XGA or WXGA are still the most popular, the build quality is excellent and the image quality is very clear.
Lcos or Liquid crystal over silicon projectors are a hybrid of LCD and DLP and before the improvements in both LCD and DLP was a very desirable if not more expensive option but things more on and the gap is getting smaller but the price of Lcos hasn't really seen much reduction. LCOS will produce the most accurate video that is capable of far better than either LCD or DLP. How does Lcos work, light passes through these LCD panels on the way to the lens and is modulated by the liquid crystals as it passes. Thus it is a "transmissive" technology. Lcos uses liquid crystals instead of individual mirrors. Three LCOS chips, one each to modulate light in the red, green, and blue channels which is like LCD panels The end result is a very high resolution image, they tend only to start at SXGA (1365x1024). So if the technology is so good why aren't all projectors made that way, the simple reason is price, which out of the reach of most people who are buying a business projector. The contrast ratio on a Lcos is often restricted to around 500:1, lamp life is often shorter with them not achieving much more than 1500 hours so cost of ownership tends to be very high. And finally they are not any ultra portable LCos projectors .LCOS technology is usually very high resolution, and typically higher in price than most LCD and DLP products. There is no such thing as an SVGA resolution LCOS , and we know of only one very rare XGA resolution machine. Generally LCOS machines begin to appear in the resolution class and higher. So by definition they are not cheap to produce as are not many are sold there are few volume efficiencies achievable. Pixels on Lcos are much smoother then DLP sharp edges, which again helps provide the smooth image quality. Typical manufacturers of Lcos are Canon and JVC
So now Just Projectors have explained how they work and the different types of technology it is important to work out which one is suitable for your needs. There are 5 main choices you have when buying a projector; what resolution, what brightness, what technology, what inputs can it take and what is the throw ratio. Looking at all of these in turn.
Brightnessof a projector is measured in Ansi lumens, this is standard that every projector is measured against so that you know if its 3000 Lumens then its brighter than say a 1500 lumens. It is not true to say that a brighter projector is always better as especially for home cinema projectors you would really be looking for a high contrast and the more lumens then that will reduce the contrast available. So it's important to get the right lumens for the right requirement. We typically recommend 1200-1800 lumens for home theatre and over 2000 lumens for the business projectors. Education projectors often tend to be lower lumens but in recent months it seems that 2000 Lumens now is the minimum requirement. If you have an audience size of more than 50 people which in turn means you need a larger projector screen then the lumens output should be in the regard of 3000 lumens. Large venue projectors or projectors for meeting rooms should be around 3500 lumens upwards. If you are a mobile projector user then lower lumens is often acceptable as you are trying often to have ultra light projectors which usually are no so bright. With the emergence of Ultra short throw projectors then the lumens output can be reduced as the image doesn't have to travel so far to get to projector screen and the ambient light has less effect on the projector image. Typically ultra short throw projectors are around 2000 lumens.
Resolution is the number of pixels that the projector displays its native resolution, the most important thing is to look at the native resolution not the supported resolution often the cheaper unknown browns will make advertise the unit as SXGA when in fact it might just be a redundant VGA resolution that supports SCGA, ie show albeit the quality is terrible after all the compression
The lowest resolution that is acceptable is SVGA (800x 600) a 4:3 format. these are the cheapest projectors and really you should only buy these is you have a very low budget, to see the quality of SVGA just look on your computer and change the display to see what SVGA resolution looks like and you will see that it is quite poor. If however you only want to use a it for showing Dvd's or video content then SVGA would be suitable.
We sell more XGA (1024 x 768) 4:3 format than any other type; although surprisingly this isn't the resolution most people pcs or laptops run at but as these are the most affordable and there are more of these than any others available. Probably people buy XGA because they have always purchased XGA. So think do I have a widescreen monitor, if the answer is yes than buy WXGA. XGA projectors are ideal for Powerpoint presentations, training room projectors and education projectors.
WXGA projectors (1280 x 800) 16:10 format should be the natural choice now as applications are going more widescreen so you can enjoy more content on your projected image. WXGA projectors also have the benefit that they mimic a HD resolution 720p, so if you wanted to have a business projector but also take it home and maybe use it for gaming then it would be more suitable than an XGA projector. WXGA also have the advantage that if you want to change from 16:10 format to 4:3 then you woudl lose an quality. However if you purchased a XGA 4:3 format then wanted to go to widescreen 16:10 then the pixels would have to be stretched and the loss of quality. WXGA projectors are our suggested choice now for business projectors, the multi format ability and the native widescreen makes them future proof.
1080p Full HD (1920 x 1080p) 16:9 format is one of the fast growing resolution not only now seen for home cinema but also seen for larger audience size with the higher lumens. 1080p is the the quality you would expect to see with Blu-ray or apple tablets. Why not give us a ring and find out what home cinema projector is best for you. We have a full range lots of choice at low to high end pricing, we we ensure you get the best value for money projector . 1080p projectors are also known as 1080 projectors or 1080 projector, the change in quality from xga or wxga is huge and the price is now good. When buying video projectors also known as home cinema projectors you are looking for the smoothness of the image quality, you don't want any juddering which canbe really annoying so there are some 1080p projectors that are really only data projectors and that tends to reflect in the price, often then have only 4 segment colour wheels or slow colour wheels which make them prone to the rainbow effect. So it's true to say that there are 1080p projectors, but not are all equal , if you want the best hd projector then you will need to spend over £600 if you want a home cinema projector, if you want just to show in hd say for a buiness projector then there are cheaper options around the £500 mark. Often a hd 1080p projector is preceived not to be bright enough, they can be around 1500-2200 lumens , this is not the case, you want really good contrast ratio so you have to keep the lumens down
SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) a 4:3 format only sold by Canon with their XEED range has always been a niche resolution mainly for camera clubs and photographers or medical use but with the emergence of more 1080p and the WUXGA projectors being able to do both 16:10 and 4:3 then it probably won't be long before SXGA+ becomes redundant.
WUXGA (1920 x 1200) 16:10 format - this is really a very high quality , reflected in purchase price of around £2500 - when you want more than 1080p.
Inputs are so important so do not ignore them when buying. All machines will be supplied with composite video (yellow) connection which is the simplest but poorest quality signal. All are supplied with at least one VGA or also known as RGB connection which links to your laptop or pc. The better ones have two VGA inputs which always you display more than one input source at a time. Having a VGA output is useful when you want to display both your projector image and also to be able to view your monitor at the same time. Component video or BNC which is the red/green/blue connection is a much higher quality than the composite video as it provides a correct display of the signal
S-Video is a standard connection supplied and like composite it is used for video it does slightly differ as it splits the video signal into two different components: Luminance and Chrominance which results in a better image quality than composite video. HDMI is fast becoming the must have connection as it is the basically a digital version of a scart connection and it has the advantage that it also carries audio.
Having a RS232 is basically a control connection to allow your projector to communicate with other devices such as electric screen.
Projector Throw Ratio Probably one of the most important specifications but most people don't know about it or don't know how to calculate this very simple formulae. If you are in mobile situation you might have limited space so knowing the throw is important. If you are installing then it is vital. If you know you screen size width say in metres (SS) then multiply the throw ratio (TR) and that will say how far away - distance (D) you need to place the projector. If there are two TR's then that is the zoom within that range SS x TR = D Eg screen size 2m , Throw Ratio 1.9 - 2.1 = 3.98m-4.2m Calculation 2 (SS) x 1.9 (TR) =3.98m away - distance the projectors needs to be from the screen 2 (SS) x 2.1 (TR) =4.2m away - distance the projectors needs to be from the screen Another example- a projector with a fixed lens- so must be placed at a exact distance SS x TR = D Eg screen size 2m , Throw Ratio 0.5 = 1m Calculation 2 (SS) x 0.5 (TR) 1m - distance the projectors needs to be from the screen So as you can see the lower the throw ratio (TR) the close or short the throw the projector is. Handy Hint 1: - If you have a tricky installation situation choose a projector that has a larger Throw Ratio range eg 1.4-2.1 which will give you greater flexibility Handy Hint 2: If you choose one with an unusually large throw or short throw then bear in mind that any installation that you set up will mean that the next time you purchase a projector you will need to get a projector with the same throw ratio, and therefore maybe limit your choice in the future. If you want to know how big an image a certain projector will produce from a certain size then the calculation is still very simple Distance away from the screen (D) divided by Throw Ratio = Screen width (SS) Eg distance away 4m , Throw Ratio 1.5 - 1.8 = 2.22-2.6m image width or screen size Calculation 4 (D) / 1.8 (TR) =2.66m width of screen required 4 (D) / 1.5 (TR) =2.22m width of screen required So at 4m the image size will be between 2.22m and 2.6m An example- a projector with a fixed lens- so must be placed at a exact distance D/TR = SS E.g. distance away 4m , Throw Ratio 2 Calculation 4 (D) / 2 (TR) =2m width of screen required This means if you need a larger or smaller image then you have to move the projector as there isn't any zoom on the lens Every one of projecotr pages has a projector throw distance /screen size calculator too to make it easier for you
The last thing to mention is what is the future of projectors , certainly getting smaller for the mobile presenter, led technology has seen the emergence of the pico projectors or micro projectors which weigh less than 50g's and Just Projectors believes that the low lumens output will be resolved within the next 5 years. Led projector with a combination of DLP technology has also seen the first lamp free projectors being made available, notably the Casio XJ-S range. They have a lamp life of 20,000 hours and without the mercury in any lamp is now the green option. 3D Projectors have always been available but now they are affordable. Using active technology DLP projectors can now show 3D using a single projector using the active shutter glasses and the prices are under £500 for a 3D solution.

Oh my goodness! I freaking love this thing! Thank you girls for convincing me I needed one.
I have played around with it a lot more and I'm learning a lot! I am making a crib skirt like this for Adair's room except in white and it is SO much easier on the serger! I was planning on using the rolled hem foot for the serger, but found it easier to just have my regular sewing machine going for the rolled hem and the serger for the ruffling, since I really didn't know how many layers of ruffles I would need (and I didn't want to have to reset all those settings on the serger).
I am just loving it though!
I have friend with two and she keeps white thread in one and dark (probably black) in the other. I envy her. Not that changing thread is hard, but to have it ready to go--that's awesome!

Tennessee Whiskey Barbecue Sauce Recipe
May 24, 2012 4:31 pm
Barbecue sauce with a shot of Jack for courage
Let there be no question in your mind as to why this barbecue sauce recipe is incredibly popular in whiskey country — Tennessee in particular. The debate rages on. Which is more important: the meat you're chowing down on or the whiskey you're chasing it with? The answer: both. A few drops of liquid smoke, which we normally wouldn't endorse (give us real smoke or give us death), provides the whiskey sauce with a flavorful little kick in the pants.
Servings: 2 cups
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup onion, finely minced
1/2 cup Jack Daniels or other whiskey
2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Tabasco
a few drops of liquid smoke
- Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add onion and saute, stirring frequently, until translucent — about 5 minutes.
- Deglaze pan with whiskey, stirring to scrape off any bits from the bottom of the pot, then add the rest of the ingredients and whisk together.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat, allow to come to room temperature and transfer to a container with a tight lid. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.

I recently moved to the area, April 30th. I have fallen in love with Bluffton. I moved here from Savannah, Ga and I only moved there January 1st 2005 from Cooperstown NY. Definitely a big change from the small town of Cooperstown that only has 1 stoplight and about 2,500 people. :-)
Old Bluffton is absolutely beautiful, I love it down by the May River. Can't wait to get out there fishing!!
Are there any good places to go swimming?

I just read an article on espn.com about Tiger's endorment money from Nike. It said that he makes 20 million a year. WOW!
To be able to play a sport that he loves and make that kind of money at it, must be great to be Tiger!
If you got a chance to watch the final round at the Master's last weekend, you would have seen that amazing chip in on the 16th hole.

Sense I am new to the Bluffton area. Tell me where a good place to hit some balls is? I am looking for a grass range no hitting of mats for this guy!
I enjoy spending time at the range hitting a few hundred balls every now and again. I don't get a chance to go as often as I used to, when i was a Club Pro. Now I enjoy going with my girl friend, she is new to the sport but seems to really like it, plus she has a great swing! :-)
In NY, I used to live above the Pro Shop at my old course. I miss the quality time spent on the practice range and practice green.

I visited the Carolina Dreamers Car Show this afternoon at the Tanger Outlets. I took some pictures for the "YOU WERE SPOTTED!" section of the web site. Most all of the people that I took photos of seemed excited to have there picture taken and to have them go onto the blufftontoday.com Web site.
Now your pictures are here! Why don't you talk about your cars, meetings or other car shows that you have planned? This gives you a great place to share your passion about your classic or modern car.

Just this past Monday I received my favorite irons in the mail! I was like a little kid on Christmas!
When I moved down here in January I didn't have any room in the car for two sets of clubs. So I brought the ones that I had been currently playing with. They are a custom made set of irons, made by Razor Golf. They work great, but I was really missing my Titleist 962 irons that I had played all through college and there after.
So I had my sister mail them down to me. I finally got a chance to hit the range this morning. It was like putting on an old pair of shoes.

My brother Brian must be the luckiest guy I have ever met. Two years ago he was playing in a Hospice Tournament in Cooperstown NY when he did the unthinkable.
Let me play it back for you...
He was trying to get a picture of the celebrities in his group. They were standing on the tee box by the tee sign. But for some reason the 'MIS Director', Brian, could not get his digital camera to work. So he throws it down, runs up and tees up the ball. Grabs his 4 iron (I think) and just lets it rip! So he thinks it's a pretty good shot, headed towards the green, not the pin.

I guess time does fly when you are having fun!
Last Tuesday has come and gone already? If I didn't have a calendar telling me so, I wouldn't believe it. Since my last update, I must confess…it's not been all fun and smiles. A few days found me a bit under the weather with a head cold, but the weekend sunshine and fun shoots on my agenda had me feeling rejuvenated and back to business as usual.
Congratulations on your achievement Anthem College graduates and best of luck in your future endeavors! Watch for my post of photos from this event later this week.
Sunday took me back to my first love, DANCE! What fun I had capturing my granddaughter's in action at Dance Connection Performing Arts Center's annual Competition Team Extravaganza held at Francis Howell Central High School. It is certainly a joy to still have a personal connection with dance through my granddaughters and the studio. Check out my Facebook page for more pictures of Madeline and Olivia's dance Extravaganza.
Yesterday afforded me the opportunity to get out and LEARN!! I promised myself early on that when I find myself blessed with moments of downtime, I would try my best to spend it learning from fellow photographers. The Illinois Chapter of the Professional Photographers Association hosted a workshop yesterday and I spent my time in a senior portrait photography workshop with Teri Quance from Quance Design housed in Houston, Texas. During the workshop, Teri really challenged us photographers to reflect on our vision, passion and what's important to us in our personal business. She was so inspirational!! I can't wait to implement some of her very cool ideas into my promotional products for senior business.
The deadline for becoming a part of my new Senior ROLE MODEL program is fast approaching! Please check out the link on my website and Facebook pages and fill out an application if you are interested. Role Models chosen can look forward to "first class treatment" during our March group and individual photo session (hair and makeup provided), as well as other great opportunities. We know you have a big story to tell Seniors!! We are ready to capture the visual ROLE called YOU!
2012 seniors, graduation is approaching! Now is the time to place orders for invitations, thank you cards, coffee table books, and DVD slideshows for your upcoming graduation parties. If you haven't had had your senior picture taken yet, it's not too late! Book your session now to get your images back in plenty of time for graduation!
Tip for Tuesday: Seniors have you heard of Pinterest? It's a fun site for loads of great ideas. Including, but not limited to… How to pair cute outfits!! Check it out!!
Until Next Tuesday!


text: Hamilton: When Ron Dennis told me I'd be much slower than Fernando, I thought – he's wrong 6 December, 2013 Race winner Lewis Hamilton with second placed Fernando Alonso at the 2007 USA GP Lewis Hamilton has urged Daniel Ricciardo to 'attack' his high-profile and all conquering teammate from the moment the season starts, as he recalls how in his rookie season he was not expected to challenge his highly rated teammate at the time. As a rookie in 2007, Hamilton was paired at McLaren with the reigning World Champion Fernando Alonso. But Hamilton got his grand prix career off to a surprising start, overtaking Alonso at the very first corner in Melbourne. "When Ron [Dennis] told me I would be much slower than Fernando, I thought 'He's wrong'," Hamilton is quoted by Brazil's TotalRace. Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel "Attacking from the first race was one of the best things I could have done in Formula 1," he added. Although Ricciardo has more experience, Hamilton likens the start of his own career to the Australian's graduation to Red Bull for 2014, where he will be paired with reigning quadruple World Champion, Sebastian Vettel. Hamilton says Red Bull's promotion of Ricciardo "makes sense", even though the energy drink-owned squad could have picked a higher-profile name. "It was a surprise to me when it was announced," Hamilton said, "but as they have a team just for the young guys to gain experience, it is good to see that it is working. "He will come in with a good car, in a seat that many others would like to have – not me, because I already have a good car," he insisted. Lewis Hamilton with Sebastian Vettel "So I'm cheering for him and hoping that he can handle the pressure – because it is always very high when a young guy comes into a top team. But I'm sure he will do well." Asked how Ricciardo should handle the early part of his career alongside Vettel, Hamilton urged him to attack, saying that he would "love to see" Ricciardo emulate his own feat of 2007 by passing Vettel at the very first corner. "He does not need to do that, but it would be fantastic for any driver," said Hamilton. "Hopefully I'll see it happen in my rear [view] mirror." (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

Sort offspeling I ment: Lawis Don't get mad folks maybe he's a little adorable 5 year old you never know. vipernas Ty, if your comment was a facebook comment, I would have hit the "Like" button Alonso_is_Slow Hamliton's bearting Alonso troughout the season really made it forever visible that Alonso is only good for Nr 2 driver role with his limited speed and talent. He was not only slower than Hamilton, but also spun out behind him, like in China. Poor Alonso had won 2 titles with Mclaren without that…but there talent has won. Alonso tried to say the team preferred Hamilton, but after team orders against Hamilton like in Monaco, no one would beleive that. Alonso is just not championship material. F1 Fan For A Long Time So quick to pile the hate on Alonso – you even messed up your own post! Why the need to hate on Alonso all the time? Do you work? Are you a pensioner or a young child? and where do you get the time to troll through this site and comment on every article that has Alonso in the title? realf1fan I remember that season very well. That was giant killing on massive scale of the likes we will never see in our lifetimes again. A rookie putting the then reigning 2xwdc and the slayer of the 7xwdc to the sword it was usurping and banishment of the epic kind which lead Lauda to say that the 2007 Mclaren rookie was the greatest rookie ever which agree with. As for the young Aussie hope he puts up a better show than the outgoing one who did no justice to those Newey super machines. Big ask for Ricc to try to do a Lewis 2007 it was a one off. StevetheGreat Nuttier than a peanut plantation! Eevel @Alonso_is_Slow – You claim that Alonso is not Championship material yet he has two to his name. You must be feeling pretty stupid right now. I'm no Alonso fan but I can at least give him the respect he deserves for his achievements. Alonso_is_Slow @Eevel_the_donkey: Saying somebody does not deserve a title does not contradict with having a title. Looks like you made yourself look stupid again….again after many times. fools ALONSO FOR THE 2014 WDC TURBO ERA jl fools 25 August, 2013 at 12:26 pm ALONSO FOR THE 2013 WDC! fools 18 April, 2013 at 7:43 pm Alonso for the 2013 WDC!

Tamburello_1994 Again, It's a case of "if I repeat it enough times, It might come true". The repetitiveness of some of the post here adds nothing to the larger debate and only serves to bring the whole conversation down to the juvenile level. This thread stands out as a shining example. "Saying somebody does not deserve a title does not contradict with having a title." That is, by far, the dumbest thing I've read here in three years. Absolutely the worst F-1 forum on the internet resides right here at Gprix247. O'Ferrari Quack! Get away from my duck! A41202813GMAIL Go, HAMILTON ! Harys Amazing whenever Alonso's name appears, offenders outraged & defenders enlightening blind haters. Alonso…you simply Rock. Linn I was proposed this site via my personal relative. I'm not constructive if this set up can be provided by your pet since nobody acknowledge this kind of unique somewhere around our issues. You happen to be amazing! Appreciate it! Elf We all must admit than dumber than Alonso's fans are none, by far. Sorry gents, but you are different. You can hit the roof just listening to their imbecile mantra he is the best, but hey, seven (!) years have past and counting and they still have no idea the guy won nada. Let me tell you folks, all these years Alonso has inhaled only good quality RB cars' smoke. And he will do so… Aspetar Elf You surly are the dumb one here as it seems trying out of your teeth to degrade a super driver "known to the world as the best" to your own low level. You are pathetic and got to stop what ever you are inhaling. Alonso will be in F1 for a while as the best driver and will win it when the car is good enough…not the best… Just good enough you fool… jl I totally agree with Aspetar about good enough car. Let's hope Alonso always have car which good eough to win while another driver such as Vettel, Raikkonen, may be Magnussen have the best and better car and repeat 2007, 2009, 2010-2013 season. note that 2005 and 2006 Alonso have the best car on grid. Harys Alonso didn't have the best car 2005/06. It wasn't even the fastest but most reliable indeed. What was legal as mass dampers that became illegal early half of the 2006 suited Alonso's style of driving…ofcourse along with the cleaver Michelins. The Mclaren & Ferrari were faster but not as consistence. This was said to me by Fisichella manager at that time who I was having dinner with in 2005. Alonso raced well at those 2 years and with some luck he secured the 2 championships. He didn't have a car that wins every pole on any track at any condition & just sprint to the finish line with out a fight. Elf Guys, when the car wasn't good enough, Alonso finished 5th and 9th, 2008 and 2009 respectivelly. Ridiculos results for a man, that hey, can drive everything, funny, isn't it? Wake up guys, all F1 drivers have high levels of skills, more or less, with Alonso, Kimi, and Lewis on the second row 'cos has been taken. Give them a good car and they will perform accordingly. Perez and Gutirez humiliated a few time Alonso and Lewis, give them a Mercedes or Ferrari and they will fight or even defeat those overpaidfor nothing drivers. Depmmar @Elf, you must be still watching lots of old cartons. You must grow up soon if you insets on coming here. Looks like your small head is carrying some gene that doesn't develop. wish you fast recovery. A tip: stop offending Master drivers you keyboard hero. A41202813GMAIL AGGRESSIVE RACERS, FOREVER !

SSA Seeks Input from AARC on Respiratory Disorders
April 9, 2013
On February 4, 2013, the Social Security Administration issued a proposed rule to revise the criteria it uses to evaluate claims involving respiratory disorders in adults and children for the purpose of making disability determinations. The proposed revisions reflect program experience, advances in medical knowledge, and comments SSA received from medical experts at an outreach policy conference several years ago. The agency contacted AARC specifically for comment.
For the most part, SSA's medical criteria looks at defining certain types of tests and the requirements needed for an acceptable test and report. For respiratory disorders, SSA describes what each one is and how they evaluate it for purposes of determining disability. Examples of some of the disorders include chronic respiratory disorders (which includes COPD and pulmonary fibrosis), asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, chronic pulmonary hypertension due to any cause, lung transplantation, and respiratory failure.
AARC submitted comments to SSA on April 4, 2013. Our comments focused on documentation requirements for spirometry calibration and spirometry tracings, differences between pulmonary function tests and devices used for monitoring, and evaluating a child's disability via spirometry testing using criteria for chronic respiratory disorders and asthma.
