Origin of DEMON
Other Occult Terms
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)In religions worldwide, any of various evil spirits that mediate between the supernatural and human realms. The term comes from the Greek word daimon, a divine or semidivine power that determined a person's fate. Zoroastrianism had a hierarchy of demons, which were in constant battle with Ahura Mazda. In Judaism it was believed that demons inhabited desert wastes, ruins, and graves and inflicted physical and spiritual disorders on humankind. Christianity placed Satan or Beelzebub at the head of the ranks of demons, and Islam designated Iblis or Satan as the leader of a host of evil jinn. Hinduism has many demons, called asuras, who oppose the devas (gods). In Buddhism demons are seen as tempters who prevent the achievement of nirvana.

Jerusalem besieged, Zedekiah taken. (1-7) The temple burnt, The people carried into captivity. (8-21) The rest of the Jews flee into Egypt, Evil-merodach relieves the captivity of Jehoiachin. (22-30)
Verses 1-7 Jerusalem was so fortified, that it could not be taken till famine rendered the besieged unable to resist. In the prophecy and Lamentations of Jeremiah, we find more of this event; here it suffices to say, that the impiety and misery of the besieged were very great. At length the city was taken by storm. The king, his family, and his great men escaped in the night, by secret passages. But those deceive themselves who think to escape God's judgments, as much as those who think to brave them. By what befell Zedekiah, two prophecies, which seemed to contradict each other, were both fulfilled. Jeremiah prophesied that Zedekiah should be brought to Babylon, ( Jeremiah 32:5 , Jeremiah 34:3 ) ; Ezekiel, that he should not see Babylon, ( Ezekiel 12:13 ) . He was brought thither, but his eyes being put out, he did not see it.
Verses 8-21 The city and temple were burnt, and, it is probable, the ark in it. By this, God showed how little he cares for the outward pomp of his worship, when the life and power of religion are neglected. The walls of Jerusalem were thrown down, and the people carried captive to Babylon. The vessels of the temple were carried away. When the things signified were sinned away, what should the signs stand there for? It was righteous with God to deprive those of the benefit of his worship, who had preferred false worships before it; those that would have many altars, now shall have none. As the Lord spared not the angels that sinned, as he doomed the whole race of fallen men to the grave, and all unbelievers to hell, and as he spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, we need not wonder at any miseries he may bring upon guilty nations, churches, or persons.
Verses 22-30 The king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah to be the governor and protector of the Jews left their land. But the things of their peace were so hidden from their eyes, that they knew not when they were well off. Ishmael basely slew him and all his friends, and, against the counsel of Jeremiah, the rest went to Egypt. Thus was a full end made of them by their own folly and disobedience; see Jeremiah chap. 40 to 45. Jehoiachin was released out of prison, where he had been kept 37 years. Let none say that they shall never see good again, because they have long seen little but evil: the most miserable know not what turn Providence may yet give to their affairs, nor what comforts they are reserved for, according to the days wherein they have been afflicted. Even in this world the Saviour brings a release from bondage to the distressed sinner who seeks him, bestowing foretastes of the pleasures which are at his right hand for evermore. Sin alone can hurt us; Jesus alone can do good to sinners.
2 Kings 25:1-3 . JERUSALEM AGAIN BESIEGED.
1. Nebuchadnezzar . . . came . . . against Jerusalem--Incensed by the revolt of Zedekiah, the Assyrian despot determined to put an end to the perfidious and inconstant monarchy of Judea. This chapter narrates his third and last invasion, which he conducted in person at the head of an immense army, levied out of all the tributary nations under his sway. Having overrun the northern parts of the country and taken almost all the fenced cities ( Jeremiah 34:7 ), he marched direct to Jerusalem to invest it. The date of the beginning as well as the end of the siege is here carefully marked (compare Ezekiel 24:1 , Jeremiah 39:1 , 52:4-6 ); from which it appears, that, with a brief interruption caused by Nebuchadnezzar's marching to oppose the Egyptians who were coming to its relief but who retreated without fighting, the siege lasted a year and a half. So long a resistance was owing, not to the superior skill and valor of the Jewish soldiers, but to the strength of the city fortifications, on which the king too confidently relied (compare Jeremiah 21:1-14,37:1-38:28').
pitched against it, and . . . built forts--rather, perhaps, drew lines of circumvallation, with a ditch to prevent any going out of the city. On this rampart were erected his military engines for throwing missiles into the city.
3. on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed--In consequence of the close and protracted blockade, the inhabitants were reduced to dreadful extremities; and under the maddening influence of hunger, the most inhuman atrocities were perpetrated ( Lamentations 2:20 Lamentations 2:22 , Lamentations 4:9 Lamentations 4:10 , Ezekiel 5:10 ). This was a fulfilment of the prophetic denunciations threatened on the apostasy of the chosen people ( Leviticus 26:29 , Deuteronomy 28:53-57 , Jeremiah 15:2 , 27:13 , Ezekiel 4:16 ).
2 Kings 25:4-30 . ZEDEKIAH TAKEN.
4. the city was broken up--that is, a breach was effected, as we are elsewhere informed, in a part of the wall belonging to the lower city ( 2 Chronicles 32:5 , 33:14 ).
the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden--The king's garden was ( Nehemiah 3:15 ) at the pool of Siloam, that is, at the mouth of the Tyropæon. A trace of the outermost of these walls appears to be still extant in the rude pathway which crosses the mouth of the Tyropæon, on a mound hard by the old mulberry tree, which marks the traditional spot of Isaiah's martyrdom [ROBINSON]. It is probable that the besiegers had overlooked this pass.
the king went . . . toward the plain--that is, the Ghor, or valley of Jordan, estimated at five hours' distance from Jerusalem. The plain near Jericho is about eleven or twelve miles broad.
6, 7. they took the king, and brought him . . . to Riblah--Nebuchadnezzar, having gone from the siege to oppose the auxiliary forces of Pharaoh-hophra, left his generals to carry on the blockade, he himself not returning to the scene of action, but taking up his station at Riblah in the land of Hamath ( 2 Kings 23:33 ).
they gave judgment upon him--They, that is, the council ( Jeremiah 39:3 Jeremiah 39:13 , Daniel 6:7 Daniel 6:8 Daniel 6:12 ), regarding him as a seditious and rebellious vassal, condemned him for violating his oath and neglecting the announcement of the divine will as made known to him by Jeremiah (compare Jeremiah 32:5 , 34:2 , 38:17 ). His sons and the nobles who had joined in his flight were slain before his eyes ( Jeremiah 39:6 , 52:10 ). In conformity with Eastern ideas, which consider a blind man incapable of ruling, his eyes were put out, and being put in chains, he was carried to perpetual imprisonment in Babylon ( Jeremiah 52:11 ), which, though he came to it, as Ezekiel had foretold, he did not see ( Jeremiah 32:5 , Ezekiel 12:13 , 17:16 ).
8-18. on the seventh day of the month . . . came Nebuzar-adan--(compare Jeremiah 52:12 ). In attempting to reconcile these two passages, it must be supposed either that, though he had set out on the seventh, he did not arrive in Jerusalem till the tenth, or that he did not put his orders in execution till that day. His office as captain of the guard ( Genesis 37:36 , 39:1 ) called him to execute the awards of justice on criminals; and hence, although not engaged in the siege of Jerusalem ( Jeremiah 39:13 ), Nebuzar-adan was despatched to rase the city, to plunder the temple, to lay both in ruins, demolish the fortifications, and transport the inhabitants to Babylon. The most eminent of these were taken to the king at Riblah ( 2 Kings 25:27 ) and executed, as instigators and abettors of the rebellion, or otherwise obnoxious to the Assyrian government. In their number were Seraiah, the high priest, grandfather of Ezra ( Ezra 7:1 ), his sagan or deputy, a priest of the second order ( Jeremiah 21:2 , Jeremiah 29:25 Jeremiah 29:29 , 37:3 ).
18. the three keepers of the door--not mere porters, but officers of high trust among the Levites ( 2 Kings 22:4 , 1 Chronicles 9:26 ).
19. five men of them that were in the king's presence--that is, who belonged to the royal retinue. It is probable that there were five at first, and that other two were found afterwards ( Jeremiah 52:25 ).
22-26. Nebuchadnezzar . . . Gedaliah . . . ruler--The people permitted to remain were, besides the king's daughters, a few court attendants and others ( Jeremiah 40:7 ) too insignificant to be removed, only the peasantry who could till the land and dress the vineyards. Gedaliah was Jeremiah's friend ( Jeremiah 26:24 ), and having, by the prophet's counsel, probably fled from the city as abandoned of God, he surrendered himself to the conqueror ( Jeremiah 38:2 Jeremiah 38:17 ), and being promoted to the government of Judea, fixed his provincial court at Mizpeh. He was well qualified to surmount the difficulties of ruling at such a crisis. Many of the fugitive Jews, as well as the soldiers of Zedekiah who had accompanied the king in his flight to the plains of Jericho, left their retreats ( Jeremiah 40:11 Jeremiah 40:12 ) and flocked around the governor; who having counselled them to submit, promised them on complying with this condition, security on oath that they would retain their possessions and enjoy the produce of their land ( Jeremiah 40:9 ).
25. Ishmael . . . of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah--He had found refuge with Baalis, king of the Ammonites, and he returned with a bad design, being either instigated by envy of a governor not descended from the house of David, or bribed by Baalis to murder Gedaliah. The generous governor, though apprised of his intentions, refused to credit the report, much less to sanction the proposal made by an attached friend to cut off Ishmael. The consequence was, that he was murdered by this same Ishmael, when entertaining him in his own house ( Jeremiah 41:1 ).
26. and all the people . . . came to Egypt--In spite of Jeremiah's dissuasions ( Jeremiah 43:7 Jeremiah 43:8 ) they settled in various cities of that country ( Jeremiah 44:1 ).
27. seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin--corresponding with the year of Nebuchadnezzar's death, and his son Evil-merodach's ascension to the throne.
Evil-merodach . . . did lift up the head of Jehoiachin . . . and spake kindly--gave him liberty upon parole. This kindly feeling is said to have originated in a familiar acquaintance formed in prison, in which Evil-merodach had lain till his father's death, on account of some malversation while acting as regent during Nebuchadnezzar's seven years' illness ( Daniel 4:32 Daniel 4:33 ). But doubtless the improvement in Zedekiah's condition is to be traced to the overruling providence and grace of Him who still cherished purposes of love to the house of David ( 2 Samuel 7:14 2 Samuel 7:15 ).
29. Jehoiachin . . . did eat . . . continually before him--According to an ancient usage in Eastern courts, had a seat at the royal table on great days, and had a stated provision granted him for the maintenance of his exiled court.

having back surgery last year and not playing. i went out and played this year. noticing alot of distance i have lost. i have always been a callaway person until a friend had the burner superfast 2.0 in which i used. i did not get all distance but i got enough back i'm changing everything.(a little at a time) couldn't believe how sweet everything came off the face and the distance has me sold. so long callaway, and hello taylormade.
This 3wood is absolutely amazing, I feel like I'm hitting the driver out in the fairway, the ball just explodes on contact and it goes far and straight. It is light but stiff and has a great feel for the swing and at contact with the ball. I truly recommend this 3wood to anyone looking ofr a better fairwood.
I have been playing with the 3 wood and 5 wood for my last 15 rounds, and both have been great for me. I hit both very well, and the 5 wood has became my favorite club. I have never stood over a club with so much confidence.
very long for 3 wood. hit very solidly most every time
Great club and great control off the fairways.

Parking Grove
Even our parking lot is helping to heal our city! TreePeople's Parking Grove demonstrates an environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional asphalt and concrete parking lots that blanket much of Los Angeles.
It incorporates a number of integrated sustainable features:
Light colored pavement
Many urban parking lots are paved with dark asphalt, which absorbs the sun's energy. These heated surfaces then warm the air around them, creating "heat islands" in Los Angeles and other large cities. This increases the need for air conditioning – a source of greenhouse gas emissions.
In our Parking Grove, we painted over black asphalt with a light color that reflects heat. If all the parking surfaces in the world's 100 largest urban areas were switched to reflective material, it would offset 44 metric gigatons of greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and alter our global climate.
Shade trees
We've planted new shade trees in and around our parking spaces. Trees absorb virtually all of the sun's energy without radiating heat back into the air. The radiant energy from the sun is absorbed or deflected by leaves. Shade on parked cars can decrease cabin temperatures by 40-50°F and also reduces evaporative hydrocarbon emissions.
Permeable paving
Traditional concrete and asphalt parking lots block rainwater from soaking into the ground. Instead, the water becomes runoff, which picks up contaminants before being directed into storm drains. The water from storm drains eventually makes its way to our coasts, where it pollutes our oceans and is wasted.
The gravel in TreePeople's parking stalls enables rainwater to soak into the ground. Permeable surfaces like this can help replenish our region's groundwater supplies. There are a variety of permeable surfaces that can be used for parking lots and driveways. Gravel is just one inexpensive option.
Rainwater harvesting system
Our Parking Grove captures and filters rainwater that we store for irrigating our gardens. We sloped the lot to make the water flow into a centralized, gravel trench drain. From there, the water seeps down into pipes that carry it to our huge underground storage tank known as a cistern.
Additional drains in the Parking Grove also direct water to the cistern, where it is used to irrigate the on-site gardens, especially during the dry summer months.

damelola Posts: 1My Miata was broken into, the fools slashed the soft top cover. Now I need to get a new one, but cannot find a place that will install it. Does anyone have a place they could recommend in the Bay Area, Berkeley or Oakland California would be ideal. I would greatly appreciate any advice one might have.
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Sorry to hear that.
I had a rock thrown through my top's window a couple of weeks ago. I just ordered a new top and will install it myself, in fact it arrived yesterday.
Gomiata.com has them, a complete no-zipper top for a '90-97 with glass runs $450, not too bad. Comes with instructions, and the rain rail pre-installed.
In Cali there are actually far more installers than here on the east coast, look around. Maybe even Google Robbins Top and then look for installers, I'd venture to guess that *most* of them are in California, actually.
Installed I usually see prices from $600 (plastic window) to just over a grand for glass with defroster.
Good luck. Insurance did pay for mine, minus the comprehensive deductible.

mikele Posts: 1Hi: I'm excited to have just purchased a 91 Miata. My most pressing concern is the timing belt; it has not been replaced and while the mileage is low (under 20K) I wonder if I should replace the belt based on the age of the car?
Next up I'm wondering what is the preferred leather treatment to keep the seats from aging excessively?
THANKS in advance,
Mike -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Based on the age, I'd say yes, it would be a good idea to change the belt. Here are some instructions if you feel up to it:
It is a non-interference engine, so it the belt does break you won't total the engine, but you will be stranded.

sbhamil Posts: 21990 MX-5... sweet little red car I bought from the original owner about 3 years ago. The car has been running great. Just tuned up less than a month ago.
I live in the Atlanta area and we got very, very heavy rains and flooding 10 days ago. My car has not run since. !! It was not sitting in flood water, however, somehow I ended up with about 4-5 inches of rain on the passenger-side floor. Trunk was damp. Roof is new and not leaking.
Engine wants to start.... but will turn over and then die.
Tried putting some 'Heet' in the gas tank a few days ago... Have let the car sit and dry out for over a week now... It has made improvements each day -- starting easier and idling for up to about 5 seconds now, but then chokes out and won't start again for a couple hours when I try again.
Any suggestions? Not ready to let them haul this sweet little ride off to the junk yard! It's in great condition!!

While in search of some frozen edamame, I came across Seapoint Farms Veggie Blends with Edamame and decided to test it out.
This veggie blend was unlike anything I had seen before. In addition to the edamame, there are also pea pods, baby corn, shredded carrots, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and 2 varieties of mushrooms (flat/black and button-shaped/white). I decided to simply boil the vegetables to capture their natural essence. I didn't realize, though, that none of these vegetables really have a distinct flavor, and they turned out kind of bland on their own. Despite that, I bet that these veggies would be a great addition to a dish with the right spices.
Each 3/4 cup serving of Seapoint Farms Veggie Blends with Edamame provides 60 calories, 1 gram of total fat, 20 milligrams of sodium (1% of the daily value), 4 grams of protein and 8 grams of carbohydrates, including 3 grams of dietary fiber and 2 grams of sugars. It also provides 30% DV vitamin A and 20% DV.
A 16 ounce bag with about 5 servings cost $1.98 at Walmart Supercenter. While my prep of these veggies wasn't optimal, I still love the unique variety of Asian-themed vegetables, not to mention the fantastic nutrition facts. These veggies provide a great opportunity for creative cooking. There's even a tasty hotpot recipe on the bag.

The trim FH5 boasts a big-time 16.1-megapixel resolution with a newly developed retractable 28mm wide-angle Leica DC lens with 4x optical zoom. The new lens gives the DMC-FH5 a profile that is 20% slimmer than its predecessors, but there's no sacrifice of performance. The FH5 has all the advanced technology and usability features that users have come to expect from Panasonic's LUMIX line, with even more impressive speed and accuracy.
28mm Wide-angle 4x Optical Zoom Leica DC Lens:
The DMC-FH5 is equipped with a newly redesigned 28mm wide-angle, high quality Leica DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 4x optical zoom. The lens comprises six elements in five groups, including three aspherical lenses with five aspherical surfaces. The advanced VARIO-ELMAR lens blends seamlessly with the slim body of the FH5 without compromising image quality or optical performance.
With the 28mm wide-angle lens, large groups of people, massive architectural structures or expansive landscapes can be photographed with ease. These subjects are captured with dynamic breadth, even from short range.
The 4x optical zoom can be increased to 5x equivalent thanks to the DMC-FH5's Intelligent Zoom function, which employs Panasonic's Intelligent Resolution technology to maintain picture quality throughout the entire zoom range. There is also an Extra Optical Zoom function that extends zoom power even further, to 9x, using the middle part of the generous CCD to magnify subjects even more.
16.1-megapixel High-resolution CCD:
The high-resolution CCD makes it possible to produce images up to A2 size that stay clear and sharp. An A2-sized photo is large enough to show a newborn infant in actual size, but even average-sized photos reproduce beautifully at 3-megapixel resolution. Photos can be trimmed or cropped right from the camera.
Venus Engine:
The Venus Engine offers efficient high-speed, high-performance image processing. Images are recorded with better signal processing, and along with the Intelligent Resolution system noise is reduced more effectively. The Venus Engine processes chromatic noise and luminance noise separately, so noise is reduced all the way up to ISO1600 at full resolution, allowing for gorgeous nighttime shots or indoor photos taken in dim lighting.
Sonic Speed AF:
The FH5 has Panasonic's Sonic Speed Auto Focus technology that features several enhancements from its predecessors. The FH5 Sonic Speed AF system has a faster actuator, more optimized algorithms and parallel software handling, for a faster and more accurate AF performance.
Focusing is also approximately 45% faster on the FH5 than on previous LUMIX models. Moving subjects can now be captured with ease and accuracy, for great-looking action shots.
NEW Intelligent Resolution Technology:
Intelligent Resolution technology, newly incorporated for the FH5, works together with the powerful Venus Engine to define three distinct areas in every image: outlines, detailed textures and soft gradation. These areas are automatically detected and are subjected to optimum signal processing, which creates images with natural crispness and clarity, uniform sharpness enhancement, and precise pixel by pixel signal processing.
NEW 5x Intelligent Zoom:
Along with Intelligent Resolution, the DMC-FH5 also has an Intelligent Zoom capability, which virtually extends the optical zoom ratio to a 1.3x equivalent. The 4x is essentially able to extend to 5x without sacrificing picture quality, even when combining the digital zoom.
NEW High Image Quality in High-sensitivity Shooting:
High sensitivity shooting can sometimes generate photos that are grainy and lacking in contrast. This is due to picture noise and noise reduction technology. Intelligent Resolution eliminates these problems, making it possible to take beautifully detailed photos with minimal noise at all sensitivity levels, but especially in high sensitivity image capture.
To further improve image quality at high sensitivity, Intelligent Resolution automatically engages when the camera mode drops to 3-megapixels or less. This is ideal for Photo Frame Mode, High-speed Burst Mode and High-sensitivity Mode.
2.7-inch, 230,000-dot High-resolution LCD:
The DMC-FH5 has a generous 2,7-inch LCD screen with impressive 230,000-dot high resolution Intelligent LCD technology.
Intelligent LCD |
High-angle Mode |
The display screen automatically adjusts brightness in 11 steps in response to shooting conditions. The display is clear, sharp and vivid in all shooting situations, including nighttime scenes and bright daylight. The large size makes it easy to share photo and video playback with others right from the camera. The High-angle Mode is another added benefit that makes viewing photos from a low angle extremely easy, perfect for snapping a subject from below, or for taking pictures over the top of a crowd.
Slim Compact Body:
The FH5 combines a powerful lens and plenty of advanced features in a tiny, highly portable case. Dramatically slimmer than its predecessor; there's no loss of performance or picture quality. You get all the great features you've come to expect from the LUMIX family in a smart, compact package.
Battery Life:
The FH5's rechargeable lithium-ion battery has also been slimmed down. The energy-efficient Venus Engine works with the battery to give you more shooting time - up to 260 shots on a single battery charge. So leave the charger behind, get out there and start taking some great photographs.
iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode:
With the DMC-FH5, you don't need professional photography experience nor do you have to suffer with sub-par image quality just because you're using a compact digital. Panasonic's Intelligent Auto Mode gives you the freedom to shoot when and where you want without having to worry about getting the camera settings just right. In iA Mode, the FH5 does all the work for you; just point, aim and shoot. The camera responds with the appropriate optimization based on six different detection and correction functions, so you get amazing photos every time. And because Intelligent Resolution and Intelligent Zoom are always activated when you use iA Mode, your 5x extended zoom pictures are always clear.
MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) - Shake Detection:
If you find that most of your pictures appear somewhat blurry, it's likely because your hands are shaking as you press the shutter button. Even the slightest jostling can cause images to appear fuzzy or blurred. With the FH5s MEGA Optical Image Stabilization, you never have to worry about inadvertent hand-shake again. The MEGA O.I.S. accurately detects camera movement with a super-sensitive frequency sampling of 4000 times per second, and responds by correcting the image to deliver sharp, clear photos. The blur-stopping lens, controlled by the Venus Engine, gives the MEGA O.I.S. even greater sensitivity and image correction accuracy. You can shoot in low light, in Macro Mode and with zoom shots - all of which are particularly susceptible to blurring from hand-shaking. It's never been easier to take clear, blur-free pictures and video.
AF Tracking with Subject Detection:
The AF Tracking function lets you take pictures of moving subjects, like fast moving kids or pets, without the hassle of pressing the shutter button halfway down to readjust the focus until you're ready to take the shot. The FH5 AF Tracking system makes it possible to follow an active subject and simply click the shutter when you see a picture. You'll be able to capture more of those precious, once-in-a-lifetime moments with confidence.
Quick AF:
Another innovative feature of the FH5's auto focus system is Quick AF. Standard auto focus on some cameras is only activated when the shutter button is held down halfway; Quick AF engages as soon as you point your camera at the subject you want to photograph. Shutter delay time is significantly shortened, letting you take great pictures in an instant. The speedy Quick AF delivers focused, crisp action shots of sporting events, kids playing, pets, dancing and much more.
Intelligent ISO Control - Motion Detection:
The Venus Engine powers Panasonic's Intelligent ISO Control, which picks up subject movement and intuitively adjusts ISO settings and shutter speed according to the lighting conditions and subject motion. Intelligent ISO Control prevents blurring when your subject is active and takes stunning natural photos with a low ISO setting when your subject is still. You don't have to worry about messing with complicated settings or taking the same photo over and over, trying to get it right. The FH5 takes care of everything, so you can focus on the moment.
Face Detection AF/AE:
If you love taking portraits or capturing candid shots of family and friends, the FH5's Face Detection feature was made for you. Face Detection picks up faces in any frame and automatically optimizes exposure and focus so your subjects will always look their best. Faces are crisp in focus, and well lit, even when you shoot indoors or against a strong backlight. The sensitive Face Detection function can identify up to 15 faces at once - perfect for taking photos at parties, school functions, graduations, nights on the town, weddings, etc. Once Face Detection senses a face, Face Tracking is activated; the focus follows the face as it moves or turns away from the lens. There's built in red-eye correction, too, and red eyes are automatically corrected right in the camera to ensure natural facial expressions. You can finally get that perfect holiday card photo of the kids and preserve memories from all of your family's most important occasions, thanks to Face Detection AF.
Intelligent Scene Selector ¿ Scene Detection:
In iA Mode, the DMC-FH5 automatically chooses the best Scene Mode for the shot you're trying to take. Whether it's Scenery, Portrait, Sunset, Night Scenery, Night Portrait or Macro, the FH5 considers everything from focus to brightness level so your shots always come out beautifully. This is one of the most versatile compact cameras available - you can shoot indoors or out, in bright sunlight or in the near dark, without ever having to change or adjust the camera's settings. The FH5 gives you the freedom to travel, experience, enjoy and explore, and be confident that your photos will turn out wonderfully.
Intelligent Exposure ¿ Light Detection:
Another one of the FH5's intuitive functions is Intelligent Exposure, which improves lighting of your pictures by detecting brightness levels bit by bit throughout the image. Outdoor pictures taken with bright sky in the background can tend to appear washed out, and even with use of the flash, indoor portraits aren't always light enough so your photos turn out too dark. Intelligent Exposure corrects all this, adjusting aperture and shutter speed to darken over-exposed areas or to brighten under-exposed areas without causing graininess. The result is properly exposed, clear photos in virtually any situation, automatically and without the trouble of adjusting exposure settings.
HD Movie Recording:
Leave the camcorder at home and record live video in full HD with the FH5. You'll get bright HD movies, even in low light, and can play them back on any HD-ready TV. You get the freedom of both still photo and live action images in a single, convenient device.
LUMIX Image Uploader:
Share your photos more easily than ever before with the Image Uploader from LUMIX. Simply select the photos or videos you want to share right on the camera, connect your FH5 or camera memory card to your computer, and follow the on-screen instructions. Your photos post to Facebook almost immediately, and videos show up in your YouTube feed in seconds. You can even share the image URL via email so all of your social contacts will know when you post something new.

"I'm Your Puppet. I Love It."
December 7th, 2007 by TRex | Posted in 2008 Race, Beltway Bores, Bush Dead-Enders, GOP Cargo Cult, Right Wing Chucklefucks | 116 Comments
I'd like to dedicate this mid-80's Pet Shop Boys song to all the tools who got called out by Dan Bartlett today, when he said of our blogging counterparts on the Right:
That's what I mean by influential. I mean, talk about a direct IV into the vein of your support. It's a very efficient way to communicate. They regurgitate exactly and put up on their blogs what you said to them. It is something that we've cultivated and have really tried to put quite a bit of focus on.
I have made a lot of jokes in the past about dillweeds like John Hinderaker at Powerline getting his talking points by fax straight from Karl Rove's office. Now we have proof.
Poor, pointy-headed Conservatards. Not an original thought in their wee, thick noggins. Do you suppose they'll feel any pangs of ill-use to read that to Bartlett, they're just a bunch of idiot savants who can be taught to mouth the GOP party line on command? Probably not, as we have repeatedly established that self-awareness is not the Right's strong suit.
And it would go a long way to explaining Hugh Hewitt's reaction to Mitt Romney's "I Can Has Kennidy Comparizons?" speech today:
Mitt Romney's "Faith in America" speech was simply magnificent, and anyone who denies it is not to be trusted as an analyst. On every level it was a masterpiece. The staging and Romney's delivery, the eclipse of all other candidates it caused, the domination of the news cycle just prior to the start of absentee voting in New Hampshire on Monday-for all these reasons and more it will be long discussed as a masterpiece of political maneuver.
*Vomits into wastebasket*
Urp! Ugh. Excuse me. Whoa, that came over me rather suddenly.

Lightning knocked out pumps at a wastewater pumping station in Oakville about noon Thursday causing untreated wastewater to flow into a ditch that leads to the Mississippi River.
By 4:15 p.m., an estimated 700 gallons of wastewater had discharged. Crews were working to repair the pumps, but the discharge was ongoing.
City officials expect the pumping station to be back online Friday and are reducing the flow to the ditch with a secondary pump.
The DNR will continue to monitor the situation.

This has been a pretty crushing day. In case you live under a rock (which I would understand – those things sound cozy), I'm sure everyone's heard that Melky Cabrera was suspended 50 games for testing positive for a banned substance. He's out for the rest of the 2012 regular season, although he would be eligible a few games into the playoffs, were the Giants to get to that point.
He did not claim he drank his daughter's cough syrup , a la Guillermo Mota. He did not claim his sample was tainted or FedEx messed up, like our favorite liar-through-this teeth, Ryan Braun. He did claim anything at all (unless there was an appeal that did not go public, like Braun's would have, had it not been leaked). He issued this statement today:
"My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used. I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and I will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Francisco Giants organization and to the fans for letting them down."
Ouch. This one hurts. This one really, really hurts. Honestly, I'm disappointed and I'm angry and I'm more than a little bit crushed. Melky was, of course, a fan favorite but beyond that, he was having a monster year and was one of the most important parts of the club, hands down. This is a needle in our balloon of playoff hopes, no two ways about it, and it's also not something I, for one, saw coming. It hurts.
I have mixed feelings about the whole thing, because I am kind of a cynic and watched too much cycling growing up (and cycling today is basically Doping 101), so I tend to think the use of PEDs is more widespread than we think. The way the clubs distance themselves from the players after a positive test leaves me with a bad feeling, because are these players really operating on their own? The signs point to it. They definitely do. But I'm still not completely convinced. While I feel angry at the players, I also feel some level of sympathy. There is a tremendous, tremendous amount of pressure on them to perform and if there are people higher up, – an organization, coach, trainer etc. – propagating this and not owning up, then that makes me even angrier.
The New York Times took an interesting angle, interviewing the Rangers' Matt Harrison who got beat up by Melky in the All Star Game. "'Anytime you hear about something like that, with someone that's had success against you, it's disappointing,' Harrison said Wednesday by his locker in the Rangers' clubhouse at Yankee Stadium. 'You know that they got a little advantage over you because of something they took. But at the same time, it's over with now. You move on. That's something he has to deal with. It's not my issue.'" The sport can be tainted quickly and it has been, in the past. I think Major League Baseball likes to portray it like it's not an issue any more, but it is and this an unpleasant reminder of that.
But anyway! The season is obviously not over and whether or not the front office had an inkling of this when they made the Hunter Pence trade, we do have Hunter Pence. That counts for something. And by something, I do not just mean copious numbers of acrostics on my blog. There's a lot of baseball left to play and a lot that could still happen.
Still, Jonathan Sanchez looks awfully appealing right now.
Actually, no. He doesn't. Not even now.

Human growth hormone is much touted these days because of its inherent property to turn back the internal clock. It can assist you to build your muscles, increase libido, and shed fat. All this can be achieved by infusing the body with lots of energy. However, when HGH is discussed, there are some common questions in the minds of people that need to be answered. Before taking HGH supplement, it is very important to understand how it is possible to boost the body's natural hormone level.
Human Growth Hormone – As Know To People
Human growth hormone is naturally produced in the body. The hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland. It is mainly responsible for the growth of cells and regeneration. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density and muscle mass. Human growth hormone also contributes to the health of human tissues, which includes tissues of the brain and vital organs. Once released, growth hormone is active in our bloodstream only for a couple of minutes, which is enough. The liver takes charge of growth hormone and converts it into a vital growth factors.
Is HGH Naturally Produced?
Yes, human growth hormone is naturally produced in the body. The level of human growth hormone is at its peak in both the sexes during childhood and puberty. The level only starts dropping sharply after 20 years of age.
Age Related Human Growth Hormone Decline – Is It Natural?
Apart from the most important role of human growth hormone in muscle building, other benefits may not be visible to our eyes. Growth hormone slows down the progression of some age-related diseases, such as degenerative diseases. It also increases sexual libido and helps in maintaining mental acuity. On the other side, lower level of human growth hormone can have opposite effects – fat gain, muscle loss, lack of sex drive, lower levels of energy, and overall illness.
How To Boost HGH Production Naturally?
There are two primary factors contributing to the increased level of growth hormone in the body – proper sleep and weight training. If you get both of these regularly, chances are that you will not count low. Exercising is the best way to get your body release more and more amount of growth hormones naturally.
Growth hormone is also released in the body while you sleep. Studies show that when a person is in a state of deep sleep, the body releases a higher amount of human growth hormone.
Diet is another major key factor in keeping the level of growth hormone high. It is necessary to have a healthy and balanced diet.
Men pay particular attention to the size of their penis. The size of the penis can greatly affect the level of confidence and self-esteem of a person. There are perceptions that penile size is culture-based, but this is not always true. One must know that there are various factors affecting the size of the penis. If you have a small penis, then don't lose hope because the penis extender device is there to help.
What is a penis extender device?
A penis extender is a device worn on the penis during flaccid state. It has various adjustment screws thereby allowing you to progressively adjust and increase the length of the penis. For you to achieve a satisfactory result, you have to wear it for about 5 hours to 8 hours a day.
How does the device work?
The device works through traction principle. What does it mean? Well, it only suggests that a minimal amount of stress should be applied to the penis; just enough to cause cellular division and will eventually regenerate. During this state, expansion of the interval cavities of the penis occurs, which paves way to increase blood circulation. As a result, you will be able to enjoy a bigger penis in just a short span of time. Not only that it will improve the size of the penis, but it can also correct erectile problems, improves sexual stamina, and a noticeable increase not only in the length, but as well as girth of the penis. Traction principle is not new. As a matter of fact, it has been in the business for more than three decades now. A lot of men prefer this male enhancement method because it is very effective and safer as compared with other available methods out there.
What are the advantages of using a penis extender device?
If you are going to compare it with any other penis enhancement method, you will notice that penis extender is more effective and safer to use too. The only downfall is that it will definitely take some time to see the results. You need to strictly adhere with the usage instruction and have a great deal of patience. If you want to increase the size of your penis in an instant, then a surgery is required. However, surgery is very risky and costly too. It is not guaranteed if the result is permanent. With penis extender, the result is gradual, but will surely last.
The ads for male enhancement products are left and right. If fact, if you are going to search online you will find all sorts of male enhancement products like pills, pumps, and the likes. The problem is that there is a limited scientific support for the above mentioned male enhancement procedures. The truth is that most techniques advertised in the market are ineffective and can potentially damage your penis.
What is the normal penis size?
In reality, a lot of men have this notion in mind that they have a small penis. As you know, you will not be able to satisfy your partner in bed if you have small penis. Studies showed that those men complaining they have a small penis don't really have a small penis. In fact, their penis is of normal sized.
Here are the facts
The average penis size is 3 inches to 5 inches in normal state, but gets bigger when erected. It can go somewhere between 5 inches to 7 inches. So, how will you be able to conclude if you have a small penis? Well, you have a small penis if it is less than 3 inches in an erect state.
The use of male enhancement products
Most of the penis enlargement methods marketed in the market are ineffective and in fact may cause irreversible damage to your penis. If you want to find out the available methods of improving penile size, keep on reading below.
- Pills and lotions-They contain essential vitamins, herb extracts, and minerals, which are proven effective in increasing the size of the penis. To be safe, choose the products made from all natural ingredients.
- Vacuum pumps-The primary purpose of the vacuum pump is to draw more blood into the penile region. The pump is also helpful in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. However, one must understand that it makes the penis grow bigger for a moment. If you used it for a prolonged period of time, it would lead to tissue damage.
- Penile exercises-it makes use of the hand motion to pull the blood from the base going to the penile head.
- Penile stretching- you need to literally stretch the penis using a special penis extender device. Research showed that it can increase the size of the penis by up to an inch. However, more research is needed to establish the safety and effectiveness of this method. Experts highly suggest to use natural penis enhancement method.
Considering testosterone supplements or therapy to maintain youth and vigor is a common these days. However, do you know what are the risks associated with this therapy?
The potential of testosterone supplements and therapy are truly beguiling. Testosterone is a vital hormone that increases muscle mass, sharpens concentration and memory, improves energy levels and boosts libido. With age, testosterone levels start dropping, and a therapy sounds like an anti-aging modus operandi. But, the fact remains that the potential benefits of a hormone therapy for the testosterone decline as related with age are still not clear. There are many known and unknown facts about the use of testosterone for natural aging.
Testosterone – What is it?
Testosterone is the main male hormone produced within the testicles. It helps in maintaining bone density, muscle mass and strength, fat distribution, sex drive, and production of red blood cells and sperm.
The level of testosterone reduces due to a typical disease called hypogonadism. The condition is characterized by the inability of the body to produce adequate testosterone as a result of some problem with the pituitary functions controlling the testicles or with testicles in general.
Testosterone therapy is recommended to men to improve the signs of lower testosterone levels. Doctors generally prescribe therapies in the form of pellets, injections, gels or patches.
Signs of Natural Testosterone Decline
It is not necessary that testosterone decline will have some signs and symptoms; however, if it does, the signs may include:
- Changes in overall sexual behavior and functions – reduce sex drive, infertility and fewer erections.
- Changes in sleeping patterns, sleep disturbances, and insomnia.
- Some physical changes like reduced muscle mass and/or strength, increased fat in the body and lowered bone density. Loss of body hair and tender breasts are also common in men.
- There may be severe emotional changes in men as a result of reduced testosterone levels. Feelings of depression and sadness may be overpowering.
Some of these signs of aging, however, are normal. Other signs may be caused due to various underlying complications, such as thyroid problems, side effects of medication, drug addiction and alcohol consumption. Only a blood test can reveal the testosterone count.
Does Testosterone Promote Vitality and Youth?
Testosterone is responsible for keeping us active, youthful and vigorous. Testosterone therapy may be helpful in reversing the signs of aging that develops as a result of testosterone decline.
Even though some men commonly believe that taking these supplements and therapy can help them to stay young as they grow old, there are only a few extensive studies to show its effects.
Penis pumps are considered the most sought-after treatments for male erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction, also called ED, is a typical problem characterized by the inability of a man to achieve and/or maintain his erection for a sufficient period of time to have sexual intercourse.
Penis pumps are devices consisting of:
- One plastic tube which has to fit over your penis,
- a battery-powered or hand-help pump that is attached to a plastic tube, and
- There is a band to fit around the penis base when it becomes erect, also called the constriction ring
Penis pumps are also known as vacuum constriction devices or vacuum pumps.
How to Use Penis Pump?
There are certain steps to be followed for using a vacuum pump.
- Place the device properly, whether it is a handheld pump or battery-operated, over the organ.
- Pump air out to create a vacuum. The vacuum will draw blood right into the penile shaft and cause swelling, which will lead to erection.
- Once there is erection, apply the lubricant and slide the band down towards the lower edge of the organ.
- Finally, remove the penis pump when the vacuum is released completely.
Penis pump is mainly meant for sexual intercourse. Therefore, you must attempt intercourse when the band is placed on the organ to maintain erection. You can leave the band on safely for about 30 minutes for intercourse.
If you are purchasing the device without prescription, make sure it contains the feature, "quick release." If the vacuum is not released quickly, it can lead to penile injuries.
How Efficient Are the Vacuum Constriction Devices?
Studies reveal that more than 50 to 80 percent of males are totally satisfied with penis pumps and its results. Compared to other methods of erectile dysfunction treatment, satisfaction rate of penis pumps is very high.
Who Can Use It?
Penis pump or vacuum constriction device is safe. It may be used by men with erectile dysfunction triggered by some common underlying conditions, such as:
- Diabetes
- Interrupted flow of blood to the penile shaft
Surgery for colon cancer or prostate cancer
- Men suffering from psychological problems like stress, depression or anxiety
However, penis pumps cannot be used by males having congenital bleeding disorders or suffering from priapism (prolonged erection causing pain).
Side Effects
The vacuum pump induced erection is not like natural erection, which is obvious. As a result, there may be some reactions or side effects. For instance, the penis may become purplish or reddish in color, often numb or cold.
Penis extenders have gradually evolved to become one of the most popular devices for male enhancement. There are several choices available today for the purpose of enlarging the male sex organ; however, buying an extender involves some expertise.
Enlargement exercise programs never fail to give men what they truly desire – an increased girth and length of the penis. However, like other workout equipments, it is very important to make sure you are careful about your choice. Any mistake and you may be sexually crippled for the rest of your life. So, it is best suggested to research some of the penis extenders that are popular today and then take a decision.
Basics of Penis Extenders
There are some basic essential features of penis extenders that every man must know before using the device.
- Penis extenders have a unique design, which allows the device to stretch the organ when it is worn.
- Even though you might come across different designs of penis extenders, there are some fastening points that remain the same. Basically, the principle is to provide stretch and lengthen the organ. It almost works like exercising.

Functions and Working Mechanism – Does it work?
Because penis extenders are scientifically proven devices, they work. As a matter of fact, they work much better than most of the other products meant for enlargement. Surgery is considered to be the last resort for enlargement; however, it is often said that extenders produce better result than surgery and they have lesser risk of distortion.
There have been several penis enlargement studies that have shown how extenders have benefitted men within a period of 6 to 8 months.
How Does It Function?
As stated before, penis extenders are basically devices that apply a certain amount of stretch to the organ. Most of these devices are designed likewise and they have 2 basic components – fastening points and bars.
The fastening points are meant to be located at the end of the penis, the base, and just before the point where the glands are.
The rods or bars are designed to lengthen the extender.
The bars can be lengthened further by the user, for stretching the organ over time.
A guy enters a period of somatopause once they reach 30 years old. During this period, the level of human growth hormone starts to drop. You don't have to worry though because there are many available options to increase the level of HGH and one of which is the use of the best HGH supplements.However, more research should be made to find out the benefits as well as the side effects of using human growth hormone supplement.
The real story behind human growth hormone
Before you spend your money in HGH supplement, it is first worth knowing the real story behind HGH. As early as 1985, synthetic HGH has been found as a primary component of most health supplements. Research showed that the best HGH supplements are really proven effective as long as used the right way. The Human growth hormone supplement has this reputation that it should be used in combination with anabolic steroids and athletes mostly used this type of supplement. The Human growth hormone supplement is also used to treat children with genetic health issues, especially children with HGH deficiency.

Human growth hormone injection is also available, but this should only be performed by a licensed doctor. Do not attempt to do the injection on your own, especially if you are not sure of the dosing.
Amongst so many male enhancement techniques and procedures, it is often difficult to find out which one would be the best. Some pills and devices do show promise, as per research and review, but they may not work well for everyone.
It is often said that most men desiring a longer and stronger penis usually don't understand the basics of male enhancement. So, it is important to understand a few facts about very clearly before you proceed with the idea of enhancement.
Exercises Is Not Always the Best – Fact
There are different forms of exercises for male enhancement, such as Kegel exercise and jelqing. These techniques work well with most men but may not be applicable to all. As a matter of fact, there is no such exercise that can increase the penis size significantly and maintain it forever. Whilst you are likely to come across several websites touting the benefits of jelqing and kegel exercises as one of the few ancient Asian techniques, the truth is that this organ is cannot be enlarged by exercising as it is not just a piece of muscle.
Vacuum Pumps Are the Best Choice- True
Vacuum pumps are the ultimate choice for male enhancement. In most of the cases, vacuum pumps have been helpful to men with medical conditions which inhibit proper blood circulation for achieving stronger erection. They are generally helpful for older men, or others suffering from some medical condition like diabetes. Nonetheless, they don't provide permanent growth or solution you wish to achieve.
Cock Rings Effect Stamina, Not Size – Fact
Just like vacuum pumps, there are cock rings to assist sexual stimulation. Cock rings are worn to maintain erection for long, which may also assist with stamina. However, these devices don't have any effect on the size of the penis. Their effect only lasts till the time it is worn. Once opened, it does not have any effect.
Pills and Supplements Are Not the Best – Fact
There are a lot of supplements and pills that can effectively treat erectile dysfunction. Such pills normally work by making the arterial muscles smooth and relaxed so that the blood supply to the organ is uninterrupted. This ensures that the erection last longer. As with most of the other myths, male enhancement supplements also don't have a direct effect on the size of penis. However, during the sexual act, it may stimulate sensation and increase blood flow to the genitals, thereby making the organ appear bigger. If you want long-lasting effects, it is best to consult a doctor.
Thinking your penis is smaller than the average? The average penis size is 5 to 6 inches in an erect state. The size varies during flaccid state. In reality, there are guys who have smaller penis and it is linked with hormonal and genetic issues. However, studies showed that those men seeking penis enhancement actually have average sized. They just have this misconception in mind that they have a small penis and psychology is the one to blame.
Use the best penis pump to improve the size of the penis

The device consists of a tube and a band. The other term for penis pump is vacuum pump. Other people call it a vacuum constriction device.

After which, you have to clamp off the penis using a tight ring so as to keep the blood from leaking back. Do not use the device for more than 20 to 30 minutes as doing so would lead to tissue damage.
What can it do for you?
If you are going to compare penis pump with other devices, you will notice that penis pumps are effective. You will get desirable results as long as used the right way. It also poses lesser risk as compared with other treatments. Cost wise, you will save money if you are going to use the pump.

Testosterone is a male hormone produced by the testicles. This hormone plays a very important role in male sexuality and reproduction. It is also the very same hormone responsible in the development of muscle mass, hair growth, and overall reproductive functioning. The body has the natural ability to produce testosterone, but once you reach the age of 30, testosterone production gradually declines and continues to do so with age.
Can you replace testosterone?
Testosterone supplements are there to help replace loss hormone. How will you be able to find out if you lack testosterone? Well, you manifest the following symptoms:
- Decreased sex drive
- Depressed mood
- Erectile dysfunction
- Difficulty concentrating
- Altered memory
If you are suffering from any of the above mentioned symptoms, then the best thing to do is to have yourself checked. If the result showed that you have abnormal level of testosterone, then it's time for you to consider taking testosterone supplements. Aside from taking supplements, there are also other things you can do to normalize the level of testosterone in the body and these are as follows:
- Lose weight-If you are overweight, then it would help a lot if you are going to shed off excess weight. Research showed that overweight men re prone to low testosterone. To be able to lose weight, you have to limit your intake of processed sugar. You should also cut soda from your diet.
- Exercise-simple exercises are proven effective in boosting the level of testosterone in the body. The catch is that you have to perform short intense exercises.
- Increase your zinc intake- Zinc plays a very important role in the production of testosterone. If you are going to take zinc for straight six weeks, you will notice a significant improvement in the level of testosterone in the body.
- Reduce Stress- Stress is the number one reason why men are suffering from low testosterone level. If you are under a great deal of stress, your body releases cortisol, which is a stress hormone. This is the very same hormone that blocks the effects of testosterone. Hence, the best thing you can do is to limit your exposure to stress. If stress can't be prevented, then at least come up with stress management techniques.
If you have tried the above mentioned tips, but still unable to see improvement in your T level, then the best thing to do is to consult your doctor in order to determine the root cause of the problem.

There's currently a war raging between Billboard and a huge number of country fans. It has to do with the changes Billboard has made to the way their charts are calculated. Before these changes were implemented, the country charts were solely based on country radio airplay. Now, they're based on country radio airplay, radio airplay on all other formats including pop, streams from sites such as Spotify and digital downloads. Now, I am all for the inclusion of downloads in today's charts as I think they're a hugely important part of the modern music marketplace, however an issue that many country fans are having is the impact that both that and the inclusion of plays on pop radio will have on the nature of the country charts.
For example, when the changes took place, a song that had been rejected by country radio, Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' went straight to number 1, with another song of hers that wasn't even a single, merely an online promo release, 'Red', straight to number 2. No matter what you think of Taylor Swift and her music, I think it would be hard to argue that 'WANEGBT' is a country song, and I have spoken to many a Taylor Swift fan who agrees. I would not say that 'Red' is particularly country either but that is more a matter of opinion, the fact that it isn't even a single and is part of Taylor Swift's pop domination over the country charts is angering fans.
So what? You ask. She's selling records and getting airplay over all formats, what's the problem? Well, the problem is, that it lowers the commercial impact of a lot of other country music, that may be more true to its roots than songs doing well on other formats. Put it this way. Record labels only really care about sales and chart figures. If an artist isn't doing well on the charts, then they may be more inclined not to promote them as well, not to spend as much money on their album, or even to drop them from the label altogether, as we've seen happen in the past. It therefore puts pressure on artists to conform to a more watered down 'pop' sound, in order to appeal to a mass market online and to get played on pop radio. Thus a couple of years down the line, to get a hit an artist must play music that appeals to pop fans, just so they can stay signed and working. So in this way, what's the point of having a country chart? What's the point in having a separate country genre, with awards, festivals, press etc? If it's only going to sound like pop or other genres in order to stay successful, what's the point in having country as a concept? There is none.
So while I think downloads or at least some kind of sales should be taken into account to give more of indication of what fans actually want as opposed to what is mediated down to them through radio, this system is very flawed. Due to Taylor Swift's promo strategy that she implements every album cycle, releasing a new song every week in the lead-up, all other artists around those couple of months will be completely eclipsed, as is happening now. This is nothing to do with how you feel about Taylor Swift, but more a reaction against an artist monopoly, and one that doesn't really have country music's best interests at heart. True, Carrie Underwood's 'Blown Away' has just taken the number 1 spot, but might I remind people that although her album is a good one, this song is a rather pop release compared to some of her other material, and she has a history of crossover music that pop radio will be playing to death.
Personally, I think radio airplay on other formats should be taken out of the equation. If someone gets a lot of pop radio airplay, this should be shown through the Billboard Hot 100, which are the pop charts, after all. This is no point in diversity in music if that diversity is not celebrated and instead part of attempts to unify everything. Because really, that's what this is.
There is a petition circulating to ask Billboard to reverse or revaluate the changes. If you would like, you can sign it here. The changes also apply to R&B, Rock and Rap music so if you know people who would be affected or upset by the changes in their specific genres, please pass this along.
If you're unsure as to how the system used to work, Taste of Country have a handy guide.
For the sake of country music.
