After plenty of anticipation, Olympus is officially announcing their new professional-level digital SLR, the Olympus E-3. The weatherproof, 10 megapixel E-3 sports a swiveling LCD, fast auto focus and a shutter rated for 150,000 cycles. The E-3 body will be available in November 2007 for an estimated street price of $1700.
Today Olympus is updating three product lines of digital cameras. The entry-level, easy to use, FE line is going to see three new models, the FE-280, FE-290, and FE-300. Among the three new cameras, you'll find a 12 megapixel sensor, a 3 inch LCD, face detection, and, new to this line, a Truepic III imaging processor. All three models will be available in August, with the FE-280 available for $200, FE-290 for $250, and FE-300 for $300.
The four new cameras in Olympus' Stylus line are the shockproof, waterproof and coldproof Stylus 790 SW; Stylus 820, Stylus 830, and 12 megapixel Stylus 1200. The new cameras sport some new or useful features, like face detection, Shadow Adjustment Technology, Perfect Shot Preview, and Perfect Fix. The Stylus 790 SW and Stylus 820 will be available in September 2007 for $300 and $250, respectively. The Stylus 830 and Stylus 1200 will be available in October 2007 for $330 and $350, respectively.
The new Olympus SP-560 UZ still gets the wide angle capable, 18x optical zoom lens that we saw on its predecessor, the SP-550 UZ and then it gets some new features made possible with new TruePic III processor. Some of the new features include Shadow Adjustment Technology, Perfect Shot Preview, Perfect Fix, and face detection AF and AE. The SP-560 UZ will be available in October 2007 for $450.
Olympus did announce two additions to their Stylus line back in February, but managed to save one for the PMA show that starts this week. The Olympus Stylus 780 brings several new features and technologies to the Stylus line. The 7.1 megapixel Stylus 780 will be available in silver and black sometime in May 2007 for $349.
Soon, we'll be posting a full review of the Olympus Stylus 770 SW, but wanted to give you some of our first impressions of the latest shockproof, wateproof camera from Olympus. The Stylus 770 SW is the successor to the Stylus 720 SW and still features 7.1 megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom and 2.5 inch LCD. There are also some improvements and new cool features.
Olympus has a couple "worlds first" claims to make with their newly announced SP-550 UZ. It is the world's first 18x optical zoom camera and has the world's fastest sequential shooting (at a lower resolution though). The Olympus SP-550 UZ also features 7.1 megapixel capture resolution, a 2.5 inch LCD, and dual image stabilization. It will be available in March 2007 for $499.
Olympus has updated its entry level FE line of digital cameras with four new models. The FE-210, FE-230, FE-240, and FE-250 will be available in February with prices ranging from $149 to $299. Ease of use and slim, sturdy metal bodies pretty much define the FE line and the new models represent, with bodies as slim as 0.6 inches.
The weatherproof Olympus Stylus 760 offers 7.1 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom, a 2.5 inch LCD and dual image stabilization. The Olympus Stylus 770 SW is shockproof, waterproof (now to 33 feet), and crushproof with a 7.1 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, 2.5 inch LCD and LED illuminator. The Stylus 760 will be available in February for $249 and the Stylus 770SW will be available in March for $379.
The Olympus FE-200 is a 6 megapixel camera with a wide angle (28mm equivalent), 5x optical zoom lens and a 2.5 inch LCD. It's quite a bit chunkier than the FE-190 that I reviewed recently, but it also has to accommodate a physically larger lens. Our full review is coming soon, but I wanted to give you a couple first impressions until it's completed.
The Olympus SP-510 UZ has a nice spec sheet - 7.1 megapixels, 10x optical zoom, 2.5 inch LCD, the ability to shoot at up to ISO 4000, and full set of exposure modes. Can it compete with the rest of the ultra-zoom market? Here are our "first thoughts" on this camera and we'll have the full review for you soon.

Really have been enjoying reading about SQ FT gardening.
Have done some searches and I hate to ask but here it is. I just found a local supplier of vermiculite, a garden supply, and they have it in medium in 4 cuft bags and course in 2 cuft bags marked "square foot garden". I know coarse is recommended but the thing is the 2 cuft bag of coarse is 17 bucks and the 4 cuft bag of medium is 19 bucks. 2 more dollars for twice the amount except it is medium. Is the medium acceptable? I see where some people use it.
Thanks for your consideration. |
Follow-Up Postings:
In some areas, coarse is not available, and people substitute medium. It seems to be acceptable. You could always mix the two to compromise. |
Here is a link that might be useful: What's Growing On?
Thanks for the reply. I had considered that. I am just going to experiment right now with a few containers of the mix and see how it works this year before I decide to go for it with a full blown raised bed. The mix is intriguing with no fertilizer needed etc. as well as not a lot of depth required. Really need to pick up Mel's book. |
Where is your garden located? The only differences between the various grades are going to be in the aeration, compaction, and water retention. I found this on a manufacturer's website discussing vermiculite sizes: Much like perlite, vermiculite grades will provide more aeration and drainage if they are larger, and more water retention if they are smaller. Because smaller or medium grades of vermiculite will compact and hold so much water, they are ideal for seed trays and some propagation mixes. Glitter grade is used most often in peat mixes and potting soils, and larger grades are used in special mixes where more drainage and aeration are desired. Because of its excellent cation exchange capacity, vermiculite often is used to enhance the performance of fertilizers and other additives. For outdoor use generally perlite is better, but still many people do use a variety of grades for outdoor applications. I don't think that the medium grade vermiculite will do any harm--in fact, I think that was the size I ended up with when I built my beds ten years ago and I got NO COMPLAINTS from the plants. If your summers tend to be hot and dry, the medium grade might even be better, especially in raised beds. If you are worried at all about sufficient air spaces in your mix, then I might look into adding some coarse perlite, but I've never found that to be an issue. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Vermiculite/perlite descriptions
I have mixed two 5 gallon containers just as an experiment and will plant two bush goliath tomatoes each in those, although I am considering going to a larger container, maybe 10 gallon just to have more room. I usually plant in 18 gallon but those have plans already. I used coarse for those containers. Like I said, just experimenting right now to see how they will turn out. If they do well I could see making a raised bed and since that would take a lot more vermiculite Id sure want to be as economical as I could be as long as the mix would do well. I appreciate the replies. |
The depth of soil for a Square Foot Garden may not sound like much, but this lettuce was grown in a SFG on top of asphalt. |
Here is a link that might be useful: What's Growing On?
Jay, especially if it gets hot where you live, I would have steered towards the smaller vermiculite in those smaller 5-gallon containers. In containers, I think the goal of water retention outweighs drainage. |
consider yourself lucky at that price. i paid 35$ for 4cf of coarse this weekend. |

Twitter and Co. to Protect Ubuntu Users with Update Alerts
A new alert system should warn Ubuntu users via micro-blogging about potentially harmful updates.
In theory it should not happen, but in practice it occurs over and over: a particular package from Ubuntu's archives causes undo problems for many Ubuntu users. One example was in 2006 when an update disturbed the X server and left many users with a black screen after a reboot.
On the ubuntu-devel mailing list, Ubuntu's Robbie Williamson announced that he would taking measures to deal with such situations more effectively. The Twitter and Identi.ca microblogging services will handle through users subscribing to one of the following accounts:
The feeds will return an alert in case of a update problem. It will at least keep users from carrying through with the update until the issue has been fixed.
The effectiveness of the alert system will prove itself in practice, because its success depends on (a) how many Ubuntu users subscribe to Twitter or Identi.ca and (b) how many will subscribe to the feed. Better yet is for Ubuntu developers to thoroughly test updates to prevent the issues in the first place.

Today is the one year anniversary of the tragic collapse of Rana Plaza, a garment factory in Savar, Bangladesh. Over 1,100 workers died in the collapse, and more than 2,500 were severely injured, making it the deadliest garment factory "accident" in history. I'm putting "accident" in quotes because the fact is this tragedy was completely preventable. The building, which was never zoned for factory use, was crammed with heavy machinery and crowded with workers, frantically trying to keep up with the impossibly rushed production cycle of fast fashion retailers in America and Europe. If we don't want to see a repeat of Rana Plaza, something needs to change.
To mark this somber anniversary and kick off a call for change in the fashion industry, today has been branded Fashion Revolution Day. This year's FRD theme is transparency. Here's an excerpt from the official website: Keep reading »

Tilesmiles were born of a love of words, and a love of the earthenware clay I began using in my work over 15 years ago. The work I do now was inspired by a trip to Italy in 2002, where the colors of the architecture, and of the land were blazed in my heart. I wanted to capture a feeling with the tiles I make. This is happy work, work that inspires, and brings people joy. It is a gift to be able to share with you a happy story, one word, one tilesmile at a time.

Click below to preview Ginger's video!
Piper & KBEAR 101 have teamed up with the non-profit organization HART, Helping Animals Rescue Team, to find forever homes for abandoned, stray and surrendered animals. Tune into the Rock Show Wednesday mornings at 8:10 to meet the star of "KBEAR Paws n Claws!"
Ginger is a sweet playful 5 month old orange tabby kitten that is looking for her forever home! She has the most beautiful golden eyes and is quick to explore! She is fixed and should be kept indoors. Oh, and she's a Manx which means she was born without a tail! Her adoption fee is only $50! That covers all their vet bills up until this point and they are current on all vaccinations! You can meet Ginger by calling HSUV at 681 –4788 or come to Idaho Falls Petco this Saturday from 11 — 4p. There are also lots of other dogs, cats, kittens and puppies available too so please ask to meet them.
With your help we can lessen the amount of unwanted animals. Spay and neuter your pets!
Always remember to check the shelters if your pet is missing! Chances are they were picked up and will either be adopted or euthanized. Especially if they are an un-neutered male!

In early 2011, Lee "Scratch" Perry's dub masterpiece "Blackboard Jungle Dub" was released by a then upstart independent
imprint known as Get On Down.While we were just getting our feet wet with the new label, the quality and craftsmanship of the
Lee Perry CD release quickly solidified Get On Down's commitment to procuring and restoring forgotten treasures in deluxe and
noteworthy formats. The CD was released to critical and consumer acclaim and marked the first in our series of remastered Dub
reggae classics.
While we remain satisfied with the results of the still in print CD
format, we were given an opportunity to explore a different
avenue with this title for Record Store Day 2012. We took that
opportunity and ran with it!
Originally released as a Record Store Day Exclusive on colored vinyl, the Get On Down deluxe vinyl edition of Lee "Scratch"
Perry and King Tubby's finest pairing – "Blackboard Jungle Dub" is now available again on STANDARD BLACK 10" VINYL
The package contains the full length album spread across three
pieces of 10" records, a 30" x 30"
giant poster of the album's cover art, and is housed in full color
hinged box secured with a magnetic clasp. We even went a step
further with this release and sent the original version to our audio
labs to be painstakingly remastered a second time to ensure
100% flawless audio sound quality. This record has truly NEVER
sounded better.
This is the definitive Blackboard Jungle Dub and a collector's
keepsake we are proud to stand behind. We believe this is a
perfect compliment to the quality of music contained herein.

The Chicago Street Theatre's production of William Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors" moves indoors after an opening weekend of performances at Central Park Plaza in Valparaiso.
With seven actors playing 20 roles, this early work from Shakespeare features all the plot twists, mistaken identities and twins separated at birth that you would expect from the Bard.
The production is directed by Lisa Formosa-Parmigiano and the cast includes Eric Brant, Braden Cleary, Patty Bird, Peyton Daley, Mark Baer, Grant Fitch and Dan Matern.
"The Comedy of Errors" will run from July 19-27 at the Chicago Street Theatre, 154 W. Chicago St., Valparaiso. Call 464-1636 for reservations. Information: chicagostreet.org.
'Little Old Ladies'
"LOL...Little Old Ladies...All A'Twitter!" will have one final performance at Great Oaks Banquets in Cedar Lake before heading on tour in Illinois.
The original "Little Old Ladies" was a hit last summer, and a sequel has been written to continue the story.
The newer show picks up when the Little Old Ladies return from Las Vegas and find some new neighbors.
Written by Angie Lowe, the cast includes Linda Slankard, Jacqueline Verdeyen, Aaron Cappello, Hannah Souronis, Austin Traina, Kay Wagman, Leslie Evans and Angie Lowe.
The final performance is July 21 at Great Oaks Banquets, 13109 Wicker Ave., Cedar Lake. Call 374-8000 for reservations. Information: lctg.org.
Benefit at Towle
While many students take out massive loans to pay off climbing tuition costs, Boston Conservatory junior Blake Zolfo decided to take a different route to pay for his secondary education.
For the past two years, Zolfo has written, produced and starred in his own one-man shows at the Towle Theater in Hammond.
Each year, the show focuses on a different aspect of college life through stories, song and dance.
This year the show is titled "Conservatory Confessions."
The title is a nod to Zolfo's triple-threat training program and the secrets that lie therein.
Shows have included songs from all different genres and backgrounds.
Some past hits have included "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars, "New York State of Mind" by Billy Joel and "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban along with a few dozen more musical theater, Disney and lesser-known songs.
"Conservatory Confessions" runs for one night only at 8 p.m. Aug. 9 at Towle Theater, 5205 Hohman Ave., Hammond.
Tickets are $20 at 937-8780 or towletheatre.org. All proceeds go to Zolfo's tuition at the Boston Conservatory.

Minnesota Lynx Coach, Reeve Visits Campus
Head coach of the Minnesota Lynx, Cheryl Reeve, made a visit to St. Cloud State University on Wednesday afternoon as part of the Women's Center weekly series, Women on Wednesday. Reeve coached the Minnesota Lynx to their first ever National Championship in the 2011 season and back to the final round again during the 2012 campaign.
Reeve was on hand to share her story as a celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day and to discuss the importance of Title IX. It's program that's existed for 40 years and gives women an equal opportunity to participate in athletic activities. Reeve shared her gratitude for the program and encouraged everyone to remember that we (women) haven't always had these types of opportunities. She said it's "important to continue to shine this light" to ensure that it doesn't disappear or go away.
Reeve also shared her journey and involvement with athletics at many levels; from playing shortstop on the boy's baseball team as a child to her tenure at La Salle playing college basketball. She spoke of her personal goals to always be a champion no matter what the task and shared her Reeve's Peeves to a champion. The Peeves are four words that are essential to a champion; preparation, passion, perseverance and principle.

Even after authorities lifted curfew in Srinagar and the rest of the Kashmir Valley on Sunday, 60 people were injured and 50 were detained on the second consecutive day of sectarian clashes in Budgam district.
Inspector General of Police (Kashmir) Abdul Gani Mir said curfew was lifted in Srinagar and all other major towns after the situation improved. Curfew was imposed on Friday after the Border Security Force fired at a gathering in the Ramban district, killing four.
However, parts of Budgam reeled under curfew for the third consecutive day as sectarian clashes, which broke out after an altercation between two persons at Bemina, intensified on Sunday. "All deployments will remain in place as the curfew is continuing indefinitely in Bemina-Budgam- Nasrallapura belt," Mr. Mir said.
Superintendent of Police, Budgam, Mohammad Irshad told The Hindu that 50 persons were picked up and detained during clashes on Saturday and Sunday. Curfew was violated in Bemina, Dooru, Sebdan, Hakermulla, Galwanpora, Rishipora, Dafpora, Nasrallapura and Kadipora, he said, and added that heavy reinforcements brought the situation under control.
Health Department officials said 60 persons reported for treatment at three different hospitals, of whom eight were admitted to the SKIMS Soura and its affiliate medical college in Bemina.
A police spokesman said 16 persons, including eight police and CRPF men, sustained injuries elsewhere in the Valley when some groups indulged in stone pelting.
Meanwhile, a delegation of clerics of the Majlis-e-Tahfuz-e-Eman visited curfew-bound villages even after Aga Syed Hassan of Anjuman-e-Sharee was attacked by a group in Srinagar when he was going to meet Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. His car suffered damage in the attack.
FIR against Facebook users
Some Facebook users, the police spokesman said, were spreading false rumours about a boy's death during police action in Sumbal. All these people were being identified and action would be taken against them, he said. A criminal matter under the Information Technology Act was registered against such people on Sunday.

Unknown French, Paris, 1700 - 1715 Terracotta; enameled metal plaques H: 2 ft. 7 in. x W: 1 ft. 8 1/2 in. x D: 9 1/2 in. 72.DB.52
A craftsman would have made this full-sized model of clay and pressed in the number plaques, then shown it to a client for approval before creating the working clock in wood, brass, and gilt bronze. Very few French eighteenth-century furniture models exist today; they are all small in scale and made of wax, wood, and painted paper. These other models were nearly all made for royal commissions in the second half of the 1700s, particularly for the French Queen, Marie-Antoinette. This object is the earliest full-size model known to exist and may well have been made for the approval of Louis XIV. Beneath the clock dial, Pluto abducts Proserpine in a chariot drawn by four horses, which caused the onset of winter in Greek mythology. Although a suitable theme for changing seasons and telling time, no other known clock bears such a representation.

Lorenzo Monaco, designer; completed by Zanobi di Benedetto Strozzi, illuminator; and Battista di Biagio Sanguini, illuminator Italian, Florence, designed about 1410; completed about 1431 Tempera colors and gold on parchment 15 13/16 x 12 7/8 in. MS. 78, RECTO
The twelve apostles gather at the center of this letter V and gaze up in amazement at Christ, who rises into heaven on a blue cloud. The upward sweeping motion of the colorful acanthus leaves that climb up the form of the letter reflects and enhances Christ's movement. While the figures' gestures and drapery are naturalistically portrayed, the scene is set against a highly polished gold background, which lends it an otherworldly feeling. This elaborate initial, which originally began the chant for the feast of the Ascension, came from a large gradual made for the monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence, of which Lorenzo Monaco, the designer of this image, was a member. Zanobi di Benedetto Strozzi and Battista di Biagio Sanguini probably painted this initial more than a decade later.
