Which Video Camera is Best for You?
In the ever-changing, innovative world of video production, making a new camcorder-purchasing decision requires up-to-date knowledge of the latest features available, along with an understanding of tried-and-true technology. Even seasoned professionals will need to take some time to research the myriad choices offered, then carefully determine which camera fits their needs. The specific requirements of wedding videography add another dimension to the process.
Reliability, exceptional video in low-light conditions, and high optical zoom range are some of the more important features you should be looking for when selecting a video camera suitable for wedding coverage. In addition, consider media format, audio inputs and the size and "look" of the camera. A handheld camera might shoot HD video, but will you stand out as a "professional" videographer without a decent-sized camera on your shoulder, or a solid tripod?
As you look over the wide range of cameras, you will, no doubt, be taking your clientele into account. Will you be covering high-end weddings with multiple cameras, are you currently at the entry level or perhaps shooting your very first wedding for a family member? Do you want all the bells and whistles or are you a purist who prefers sticking to the basics and keeping life simple? Ultimately, your list of preferences is unique to your work style and ergonomic requirements. In order to assist you with your decision, we have reviewed a variety of models selected specifically for capturing a couple's wedding-day memories.
Advanced and Intermediate-Level Camcorders
A perennial favorite with many experienced videographers is the Sony PMW-200. It captures Full HD and SD video, and supports continuous recording times of up to four hours in the 50 Mbps MPEG HD422 mode with clip spanning on two 64GB cards. With 4 channels of high quality, 48 kHz, 16-bit LPCM, you will have all the audio capabilities needed to cover every element of a wedding weekend. Shooting in low light is no problem with this camcorder. Three Full HD 1/2" CMOS sensors and a fast maximum aperture setting (f/1.9 - f/16 on a Fujinon 14x optical zoom lens), will thrill you with the exceptional video you can capture under the chandeliers in dimly lit reception halls. Weighing slightly more than 5 pounds, this camera is heavy enough for stability, yet won't wear you out during hours of shooting. For a semi-shoulder mounted solution, the Sony PMW-300K1 is also worth considering.
Sony's PMW-160 XDCAM HD422 Camcorder has three 1/3" Exmor CMOS sensors with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 54 dB. The 20x power zoom lens offers slightly more reach than the PMW-200, and the Wi-Fi remote capability (the Wi-Fi adapter is sold separately) is invaluable for the "one-person band" shooting with two or more cameras.
JVC produces the GY-HM600 ProHD Camera, another worthy professional-class camera to consider. The HM600 can record up to 1080/59.41i HD video in MOV: H.264, MP4 and AVCHD. The Fujinon zoom lens features an impressive 23x optical zoom ratio. Standard sensitivity is rated for f/11 at 2000 lux for exceptional quality in low light. Two channels of 48 kHz 16-bit audio recording with 2 XLR inputs and a 3.5mm mini jack round out this advanced package.
The GY-HM650 ProHD Mobile News Camera offers the same features as the HM600, but with the addition of Wi-Fi connectivity and FTP server support. This compact camera allows you to record and automatically transmit footage to your home or office, a nifty feature if your editor is standing by for a "day of" presentation at the reception that evening. Like the HM600, the HM650 weighs 5.3 lb, giving you stability on the shoulder without being the heaviest camcorder in this roundup.
Sony's HXR-NX5U is another solid performer. Its versatility in capturing different formats may fit nicely into your profile as well. Able to record 720/60p video in addition to 60i, 30p and 24p, this camera is versatile and easy to operate. The zoom range gets extremely high marks (20x G-Lens, optimized for advanced image processing) and you can choose to record on Memory Stick or SDHC cards.
If you are looking for a camera that supports both NTSC and PAL standards, Panasonic has built a camera for you to consider: AG-AC160A AVCCAM HD Handheld Camcorder. In today's marketplace, worldwide compatibility might be an important enough factor to give this camera a closer look. Like many of the other cameras in this category, the AG-AC160A captures video at a variety of frame rates. This capacity allows you to create your own unique "look." Shooting in 60p and playing back in 24p, for instance, gives you a very smooth slow-motion effect to incorporate into your final product.
If 1080p isn't enough resolution for you and you're ready to enter the world of 4K Ultra HD recording, then you may be interested in the Sony PXW-Z100. In today's marketplace, the ability to record high-resolution images can do wonders for your business. It also makes for a good investment as the industry makes the transition to 4K. The PXW-Z100 utilizes Sony's XVAC 4:2:2 10-bit intra frame recording format, which is the same found in their digital cinema PMW-F55 CineAlta camera. It can record true 4K (4096x2160) resolution video at up to 50 and 60fps – perfect for capturing those special moments. Of course, you can also record 1080p video if you're workflow isn't ready for 4K file sizes. Rounding out the camcorder is a G lens with 20x optical zoom and three control rings, dual XQD memory card slots, and 4K HDMI and 3G/HD-SDI interfaces.
Intermediate and Entry-Level Camcorders
There are a number of camcorders at the entry (and slightly above entry) level that will produce High Definition video and provide professional-quality audio as well.
Beginning with Panasonic's well-balanced and impressive AG-AC90 AVCCAM Handheld Camcorder, the variety of options in this class is surprisingly good. The AG-AC90 looks much like the cameras in the advanced category, yet weighs only 3.3 lb. Since it shoots HD 1080p /1080i and boasts two XLR inputs, this camera does provide you with excellent pictures and sound, especially in optimal conditions. It also features Five-Axis optical image stabilization, which makes for smoother handheld videos.
Innovation is the key word to use when describing Sony's combination camcorder / projector: the 96GB HXR-NX30 Palm Size NXCAM HD Camcorder with Projector. In addition to the built-in projector, Balanced Optical SteadyShot is the standout feature here. This image-stabilization system isolates the entire optical block from the rest of the camera body for exception results. The built-in projector could be that special standout element you bring to the table. Projecting raw footage on a wall during the reception is just one of the many possibilities you might consider. The HXR-NX30 also has XLR inputs and a 10x optical, 17x extended Carl Zeiss Lens. It has a single 1/2" ExmorR CMOS sensor and an internal 96GB flash memory capacity.
If you are looking for an easy to use, entry-level camcorder with a professional look, Sony's highly rated HXR-MC2000U Shoulder Mount AVCHD Camcorder is an excellent choice. It weighs a hefty 5.9 lb, sports a nifty flip-up LCD above the color viewfinder, and has an ergonomic handle with Record button and zoom control for those essential low-angle shots. In addition to slots for removable media, a built-in 64GB internal hard drive gives you more than six hours of recording time in AVCHD FX mode. The single 1/4" sensor will provide a very good image with adequate lighting. There is a 3.5mm mini-jack input and a built-in 2-channel stereo shotgun microphone.
The HDR-PJ810V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with Projector is also a versatile and handy little camera/projector. With full HD 1920 x 1080 60p recording capability and a built-in video light, the PJ810V would be an ideal second or third camera to have for covering a wedding, in part because it is so easy to use and complements your package with a very capable projector. It also takes 20 megapixel still pictures (32GB flash storage included). The HDR-PJ710V features a Sony G lens with 12x optical zoom and Balanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. Sony's Tracking Focus function and Intelligent Auto give you the ability to multitask while the camera does the work. The Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel Surround Mic will surprise you with its clarity. In addition, there is a mic input for your wireless unit, and the accessory shoe will hold a small receiver.
As with the advanced and intermediate level options, Sony also offers a 4K consumer camcorder with their FDR-AX100. The 1" Emxor R CMOS sensor is large – approximately 8x larger than typical camcorders. This lets you get some cinematic shots with a pleasing shallow depth of field. What makes the camcorder truly versatile is its recording options, letting you capture 4K Ultra HD 3840x2160 video at 24 and 30 fps, as well as Full HD 1920x1080 video in XAVC S, AVCHD, or web-optimized MP4. Like the HDR-PJ810V, it also features a 12x optical zoom lens and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. Built-in Wi-Fi with NFC support even lets you use your smartphone or tablet.
As you can see from this diverse sampling of excellent camcorders, the variety of file formats, lenses and audio packages can be quite a bit to digest. You will likely see one or two cameras that pique your interest and will serve your clients' needs as well as your own.

Sony hxr nx5u is the best choice for weeding videographers and cameraman because of price and perfect specifications.
I want to Capture Pics/video underwater, also some sort of wedding Parties and Night videos, I'm interested in "Sony HXR-NX70U". but I don't find any Complete review & Test and I'm new to your site......
Will you Please Suggest me the Video Camera which Capture Still Shots while Recording video.... As I mention I'm interested in Sony HXR-NX70U so Kindly clear my Doubts about :
1.Is it Good to video underwater or just save from Rain?
2.How is the Focus of this Video Camera?
3.How much Megapixels I gain in Still Shots & Can I able to Capture 16:9 Still Pictures with Sony HXR-NX70U while Video Recordings?
4.What's the Length of continually video Recordings(I know depends on Media Content I used but I mean how long when I have Good Card) and The Card maximum Card size this Sony HXR-NX70U Support???
I shall be Thankful for any Help Regard this....
I'm a complete novice, never had any classes for what all these letters and numbers stand for. I'm looking for a professional quality video with a relatively easy to use and understand interface. I'm a quick learner, though, so I don't want plain jane either. Something that won't intimidate me, but give me really great quality (for weddings and educational youtube videos) video and make me look smarter than I am.
I have been focusing on Sony's mostly in my research because I just believe in their quality and ease of use for just about everything they make.
I am glad to have found this page! Something I will have to sit for a few evenings and really think about and go over, but if someone could... what is the difference in HVRHD1000U and the HVRHD1000E? What is the "U" and the "E" for? I can google just about everything else. lol THANKS!
Hello Stacy, I have a Canon C100 and it's maybe a little advanced to start out with, but it's easy to use, light, small, and it's very high quality camera that I have purchased this year. The downside is the body is $5000 alone...lol. So if you're looking for something not that expensive, then I completely understand. But it was definitely worth the price. It's actually the cheapest Canon video camera in the "C Series." The Canon C300 is around $12,000 and the Canon C500 is at least $20,000 plus. So for this price it's a really good camera. I shot a documentary in a third-world country with it and various things in urban areas, and it looks great. Just thought I'd let you know.
Our car dealership is looking for the best camera out there to shoot professional car presentations. Our previous/current low end cameras always end up being out of focus when moving and it's really hard to get a smooth shot while moving and zooming. We don't care about the audio quality of the camera, because we do a voice over after shooting the videos. It needs to be a hand held camera since we need to go in and out of the vehicles to show features etc.
What would be our best bet?
Any difference options in different price ranges?
Thank you,

Hi Sander -
Innovative and portable, the cutting-edge Sony HXR-NX30 Palm Size NXCAM HD Camcorder with Projector is a handheld, excellently built HD camcorder that's capable of capturing AVCHD video in Full HD 1080p at 60 fps, as well as high-quality digital still images. It's equipped with 96GB of internal flash memory, an LED video light and NightShot capabilities. It also supports all AVCHD recording formats at 28 Mbps.
The true innovation behind Sony's HXR-NX30 is its 1/2.88 ExmorR image sensor and ultra-wide angle Carl Zeiss 10x optical zoom lens.

Hi miss T-
The camcorders listed below include an AC charger/power supply that auto switches for worldwide voltage changes from 110 to 240 VAC. These cameras will come with a USA/North American outlet connector which you can easily adapt for use internationally with a small device like this one:
The TS250AD Travel Smart All-in-One Adapter Plug with Built-in USB Port from Conair enables you to plug dual-voltage appliances into the majority of foreign wall outlets in the most commonly-visited countries of the world. It works in North America, South America, Great Britain, Ireland, other parts of Europe, Africa, Japan, other parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, Fiji, and the Middle East. It will accept a single 2-prong or 3-prong device. It is also equipped with a USB port.
Innovative and portable, the cutting-edge Sony HXR-NX30 Palm Size NXCAM HD Camcorder with Projector is a handheld, excellently built HD camcorder that's capable of capturing AVCHD video in Full HD 1080p at 60 fps, as well as high-quality digital still images.

The Panasonic AG-AC90 AVCCAM Handheld Camcorder features 1/4.7" 3MOS sensors, with 2.19MP each, to capture Full HD 1920x1080 resolution video. Variable frame rates record HD video at 60p, 60i, 30p, and 24p.

In addition, Nano Surface Coating works to reduce ghosting and flare. The AG-AC90 has two SD card slots for expanded memory or simultaneous recording to both cards for an instant back-up. A five-axis image stabilizer improves stabilization for handheld shooting, and 4x pixel shifting technology helps to create a sharper image. An Intelligent 25x digital zoom function makes automatic adjustments of edge, gradation and detail.

I have done quite a bit of videography over the last 7 years and would like to get back into it more when I retire. I have a Sony DCR VX2100 and would like to move up to HD with a used pro video camera but I don`t want to break the bank on cost. Since I have worked with Sony, that might be the best to continue with. The used camcorder will get me by the next few years until retire and buy a new one. Thanks for your advice!
Hi Steve -
Currently featured in our USED VIDEO Department:
The Panasonic AG-HMC150 is a camcorder designed to record in high definition on standard SecureDigital (SD) and SHDC memory cards. While SD-based camcorders have been gaining ground in the consumer market, the AG-HMC150 has the ability to record AVCHD images at significantly higher bitrates. This enhancement makes the camera more efficient than comparable HD interframe codecs, such as HDV and XDCAM EX. Using H.264 as its compression algorithm, the camera can record incredibly detailed images at a fraction of the file size.
- AVCHD at Your Fingertips
- AVCHD is a variation on interfame codecs such as HDV and XDCAM. The advantage is that it uses a standard H.264 compression algorithm, making it highly efficient without sacrificing large portions of memory. Less bandwidth allows the camera to record directly to SD and SDHC media.
- Good Things Come In Small Packages
- The AG-HMC150 will feel much like the acclaimed AG-DVX100, as opposed to its more similar and larger cousin, the AG-HVX200. Reducing weight makes the camera easy to hold; at 4.2 lbs the camera is very comfortable on long shoots.
- SD and SDHC Flash Memory Recording Storage
- The AG-HMC150 provides AVC HD video in a class of its own. The ability to record up to 24Mb/s onto a single SDHC makes the camera not only incredibly versatile, but allows users to record onto inexpensive media.

any input following my requirements would be great
Already using PMW 300 cameras and sony z7, nikon d800
Issue with the cameras being used-
01. Low light recording in the pmw 300 and sony z7 is not great. The contrast ratio really takes a beating once we increase the gain.
02. The nikon d800, well it's excellent, but with no auto focus or it's auto focus being pathetic, only shooting short scenes makes sense.
01. A camera which gives excellent, color reproduction, beautiful contrast ratio. And shows a marked improvement in visuals compared to what i am using.
02. Is auto focus, by this i mean it can track subect/subjects like a camcorder and unlike an slr.
03. Can shoot continuously
04. Would like interchangable lenses for greater flexibility.
05. Price range - $5000 to $ 7000
06. Even if it means building a new system, i am not adverse to it, as long as the system stays in place for about 2 odd years.
The confusion is what system to adopt, canon, sony nex or stick with the camcorders? There are just too many options and nobody addresses
Any help would be appreciated
DSLR and /or Cine style cameras unfortunately will not have fast AF like a video camera does. They do have the advantage of superior quality in most cases though so you need to take the good with the not as good. As for an inbetween I would really recommend the new Canon C100 with the dual pixel AF. As for camera that have come out in this price range it has a very good AF speed and great video quality.
Hy there!
First of all, thanks for this article, as well as the others.
I just wish to know: what about shooting an event (like a wedding) with Canon 5D / 7D or similars? What are the problems, difficulties, and challenges I'll face?
I'm from Brazil, and actually I bought my Canon cameras with you guys.
Thanks a lot!
For event shooting with a DSLR, the main pain points will be:
-Short record time. Both the 5D and 7D can only record for 12 minute stretches. So the ceremony and any long speeches will have gaps when you need to re-start the recording.
-No servo zoom or auto focus in video. So any fast moving action like dancing will be difficult to capture.
-Limited audio capability. You would need to record audio separately in most cases and then sync in post.
Hi, and thanks for the informative article. I'm researching cameras for videoing church services. I'm not all that camera savy. Any advice would be helpful. I'm looking for:
1) a good amount of optical zoom as the camera will be set up at the back of the church
2) The camera will likely need to be on a tripod
3) I would like the ability to run our sound board into the camera
4) I've been given a price range of <$1000 (US)
5) we want to be able to put the videos on our website for people to download (possibly live stream in the future, possibly not)
6) we would need to be able to video 1.5 hours at a time
If you have any suggestions on other features you think I would need or a camera you think would fit our needs it would be appreciated.
Hi -
In your stated price range, this is one of the best camera options available:

i read your article about different professional camcorders available, great job by the way, there was one that caught my eye and that is the Sony 96GB HXR-NX30 Palm Size NXCAM HD Camcorder with Projector. I love all the features and have seen different reviews online and youtube, the one thing that I don't hear much about is focus. I currently have a consumer camcorder that has no kind of manual focus and the I also have the Canon T3i dslr camera. I am looking for a professional camcorder that has the ability for manual focus since I love editing on Final Cut Pro X but the focus is a part that I believe is best leave to cameras.
we need the camcorder for music videos, youtube videos, and promotional videos for local businesses and organizations. Do you think this is the best camera, or do you have any other suggestions?
thank you
Hi Victor -
Innovative and portable, the cutting-edge Sony HXR-NX30 Palm Size NXCAM HD Camcorder with Projector is a handheld, excellently built HD camcorder that's perfect for the kind ofprojects you have described. Manual focusing is most likely not as critical as on your DSLR (since the auto-focusing is fast and accurate) but this camcorder does feature a manual focusing knob near the bottom front left of the camera lens.
Moving up a bit, I also like the Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM Compact Camcorder. This rugged little trouper is the perfect companion for those tough location shoots where weather and climate cause lesser cameras to buckle and fold. Meeting stringent dustproof and rainproof requirements, the NX70U's sealed body keeps out all but the toughest of elements, making it ideal for documentary and news videographers traveling to far-flung, unpredictable locations.
But beneath the NX70U's weatherproofing is a first-class performer that hits all the professional sweet spots. Its back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor combines with an ultra wide 26.3-263mm Sony G lens and Optical SteadyShot to provide outstanding full HD 1080p images even in low light. The Dual Rec function, meanwhile, lets you shoot 12.3MP stills while recording video, all of which can be captured to the unit's spacious 96GB embedded flash memory or your choice of Memory Stick or SD/SDHC media.

Hi I am looking at creating video modules for my clients, professional yet also semi casual, with a mixture of indoor/outdoor shots... primarily talking yet also using a whiteboard. I will be using a lavalier for audio, and am just wondering what you would recommend for filming module (basically one sided interviews)? Budget is under $500. Thanks, Dan
Hi Danny -
This is my best recommendation near your stated budget range:
The HC-V750 Full HD Camcorder from Panasonic features Full HD 1920 x 1080 recording along with an Advanced Level Shot Function and a 5 Axis Hybrid Optical Image Stabilizer+(O.I.S.+). The O.I.S.+ has a three-level setting (Off, Normal and Strong) which doubles the tilting correction range for even better effectiveness when moving and shooting. The improved correction algorithm provides better tracking even when tilted quickly.
It also features the combination of an all-new lens, sensor, and engine for enhanced zooming and high sensitivity. The engine is about 1.5 times faster than previous models for high-speed processing of the enhanced MOS sensor's signals. The 6.03MP MOS sensor delivers sharp video images with high resolution. A brand new 4-drive lens system is incorporated to enable a powerful 20x optical zoom within a compact body size.
The Crystal Engine Pro+ engine enables slow motion video shooting in Full HD with smooth playback at 240 fps (actual recording is 120 fps) with Intelligent Frame Creation. This simple touch-operated function can be enabled during regular shooting to switch to slow-mo. The super slow motion is shot in Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. Built-in modes like Miniature Effect, 8mm Movie, Silent Movie, and Time Lapse Recording also help to inspire and creatively control your shooting.
The camcorder also features built-in Wi-Fi and is NFC (near-field communication) enabled for even more flexibility when pairing up with optional HDTVs and mobile devices. It also includes a Baby Monitor feature that allows you to check in on a sleeping baby in another room (when the camcorder is connected to your home network with a smartphone). You can speak to the baby using your smartphone and even be notified when the baby cries or when a voice is detected in the room. Ustream allows you to live stream video over the Internet as well.

I am looking for a high quality video camers to film hunting in the outdoors, in low and high light, with good zoom. I am an amateur so the more the camera can do to provide good footage automatically the better. Thanks. Budget around $3000
For a high quality, great in low light camera with a lot of automatic features I would recommend the Sony HXRNX3. It is a full HD, 20x zoom lens camera with dual XLR ports for better audio. The camera features a servo lens with fast AF and works great in low light.
I broadcast sports over the Internet at 720p 60 fps and need a solution that will handle my changing needs from inside sports to outside, day and night. I have been considering the Sony nex-vg30h, what is your thoughts.
Thanks scott
Hi Scott,
I need to broadcast indoor sports over the internet as well. I don't know anything about cameras. Any tips you could give me? What camera are you using today? Does your system allow you to broadcast live?
Thanks a lot
Hi Scott -
The SONY NEX-VG30H may not be the best choice for your particular application in terms of sports shooting in low light.
Consider the HXR-NX3/1 NXCAM Professional Handheld Camcorder from Sony which brings high-quality performance, adaptability, and ease of use to a compact, handheld body. The camcorder features a 3-chip Exmor sensor with Full HD 1920x1080 resolution, Sony G lens with 20x optical zoom range, and a 40x Clear Image Zoom for 35mm equivalent focal lengths up to 1152mm. It also features Wi-Fi connectivity for transferring video files from the camcorder to mobile devices, as well as controlling camera functions from your smartphone or tablet. A network-friendly 720p, 3 Mbps MP4 recording option allows for easy transfer and compatibility with computer, smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices.
The HXR-NX3/1 records video using the AVCHD 2.0 format, with framerates up to 60p for recording smooth motion. 60i and 24p modes are also available. You can also record in the DV format, letting you fit the camcorder into existing DV workflows. Media is recorded to two SD memory card slots. You can choose to record simultaneously to both cards or use the relay mode which switches recording automatically to the second memory card when the first one is full. The two card slots can be controlled independently from two separate record buttons. An HDMI output connector provides uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 signals while shooting for use with external recorders.
PLEASE NOTE: Battery and battery charger are included, however a shotgun microphone is not included.
- 3 Exmor CMOS Sensors
- The HXR-NX3/1 features three 1/2.8" Full HD CMOS sensors, one-sensor for the Red, Green, and Blue color channels. This means high detail and texture, even on high-contrast colors. And, thanks to Sony's Exmor technology, the CMOS sensors deliver low noise and high sensitivity for low-light shooting situations.
- Sony G Lens with 20x Optical Zoom, 40x Clear Image Zoom
- The Sony G lens provides high image quality while offering 20x optical zoom with a 35mm equivalent focal range of 28.8mm to 576mm. When more telephoto reach is needed a 40x "Clear Image Zoom" allows you to reach an 35mm equivalent focal lengths up to 1152mm.
- Frame Rate Flexibility
- The camcorder records using the AVCHD 2.0 codec for Full HD 1920x1080 resolution video at frame rates of 24p, 30p, 60i, and 60p. The camcorder also offers 720/60p AVCHD capture, 2x slow motion and 60x quick motion recording, as well as standard definition DV recording. The two SD card slots enable simultaneous or relay recording.

I am in the market for a professional video camera and am looking for recommendations. I will be shooting mostly for an online video blog and will be in mostly remote places so decent battery life is a must. Also size is an issue, I need to be able to travel fairly light. A decent zoom range and professional audio inputs would also be nice. My budget is around $3000 to put a kit together. Recommendations?
Hi Steven -
Innovative and portable, the cutting-edge Sony HXR-NX30 Palm Size NXCAM HD Camcorder with Projector is a handheld, excellently built HD camcorder that's capable of capturing AVCHD video in Full HD 1080p at 60 fps, as well as high-quality digital still images. It's equipped with 96GB of internal flash memory, an LED video light and NightShot capabilities. It also supports all AVCHD recording formats at 28 Mbps.
The true innovation behind Sony's HXR-NX30 is its 1/2.88 ExmorR image sensor and ultra-wide angle Carl Zeiss 10x optical zoom lens. The lens is mounted within a gyroscope, which affords unbelievable image stabilization. Sony's calls their innovative technology Balanced Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode. In fact, you can choose to shoot in fixed mode, without stabilization, or you can easily switch on the SteadyShot whenever needed. This feature is great for walking and shooting or for journalists who may need to hold the camera steady, high-above their head while demanding the truth in front of city hall.

Here are the nominees in the 10 major categories for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. Avatar and The Hurt Locker each scored nine nominations. The winners will be announced on March 7. In the meantime, don't forget to follow me on Twitter (@davekarger) for Academy Award updates between now and the Oscar ceremony.
Best Picture
The Blind Side
District 9
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
A Serious Man
Up in the Air
Eight of the 10 Producers Guild nominees repeated here. Invictus and Star Trek were replaced by A Serious Man and, in one of the morning's biggest surprises, The Blind Side, which had received no guild nominations or critics prizes other than for Sandra Bullock's performance. Clearly all the Sandra love buoyed the film. As expected, The Hurt Locker, Avatar, Inglourious Basterds (8 nods), Precious (6 nods), and Up in the Air (6 nods) led the pack, while Up becomes only the second animated film ever to be nominated for Best Picture. Star Trek, meanwhile, did score a total of four nominations but just couldn't muscle into Best Picture. That's the best news for Avatar, which still may have a hard time beating The Hurt Locker.
Best Actor
Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart
George Clooney, Up in the Air
Colin Firth, A Single Man
Morgan Freeman, Invictus
Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker
These are the five SAG nominees, so nothing surprising here. Morgan Freeman was the only possible weak link, but none of the guys on the bubble—Viggo Mortensen, Matt Damon, Ben Foster, Robert Downey Jr.—had enough oomph. How can Jeff Bridges lose? I'd say Jeremy Renner is the only one who can upset him (like Adrien Brody for The Pianist).
Best Actress
Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side
Helen Mirren, The Last Station
Carey Mulligan, An Education
Gabourey Sidibe, Precious
Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia
Another repeat of the SAG nominees. The Young Victoria's Emily Blunt had a shot at displacing Helen Mirren, but clearly the older voters responded well to The Last Station. The Blind Side's Best Picture nomination (compared to no other nods for Julie & Julia) means Bullock has the edge. Who'da thunk it?
Best Supporting Actor
Matt Damon, Invictus
Woody Harrelson, The Messenger
Christopher Plummer, The Last Station
Stanley Tucci, The Lovely Bones
Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds
A bunch of talented gents were overlooked here: Alec Baldwin, Christian McKay, Alfred Molina, Peter Sarsgaard, and Anthony Mackie, to name just five. As I've stated before, this race was over before it ever began.
Best Supporting Actress
Penélope Cruz, Nine
Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air
Maggie Gyllenhaal, Crazy Heart
Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air
Mo'Nique, Precious
Here we have the only variance from SAG in the individual acting races, as Maggie Gyllenhaal stole Diane Kruger's slot. And even though Julianne Moore failed to earn a SAG nod for A Single Man, I'm still surprised the Academy didn't give her a fifth career nomination.
Best Director
Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker
James Cameron, Avatar
Lee Daniels, Precious
Jason Reitman, Up in the Air
Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds
The five DGA nominees repeated here, fending off competition from the likes of Neill Blomkamp and Lone Scherfig. But these five films are so far out in front that no one else really had a shot. It's Bigelow's to lose.
Best Original Screenplay
Mark Boal, The Hurt Locker
Alessandro Camon & Oren Moverman, The Messenger
Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, A Serious Man
Pete Docter, Bob Peterson & Tom McCarthy, Up
Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds
As with Titanic, James Cameron failed to earn a screenplay nomination for Avatar. The Messenger duo stole the fifth slot from the adorable (500) Days of Summer guys. With Hurt Locker and Basterds in the running, this may be the tightest major race of the year.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Jesse Armstrong, Simon Blackwell, Armando Iannucci & Tony Roche, In the Loop
Neill Blomkamp & Terri Tatchell, District 9
Geoffrey Fletcher, Precious
Nick Hornby, An Education
Jason Reitman & Sheldon Turner, Up in the Air
If there's a shock here, it's the inclusion of the little-seen In the Loop over Fantastic Mr. Fox. But the writers branch often goes for a sharp British indie, so maybe I shouldn't be so surprised.
Best Animated Film
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Princess and the Frog
The Secret of Kells
Best Foreign Language Film
El Secreto do Sus Ojos (Argentina)
Un Prophete (France)
The White Ribbon (Germany)
Ajami (Israel)
The Milk of Sorrow (Peru)
The rest of the categories are after the jump.

OK, I need some advice on installing Aluminum nail-fin windows into an existing frame-stucco house with exposed headers. I'm installing 9 windows. Some are in brand new construction (addition), but most are new holes in existing walls. Of concern to me is the following:
1. The house was built with the vapor barrier outside of the foam. This was apparently allowed back in 1988. This complicates the installation of sill flashing as I'm not quite sure how to get the new flashing between the existing stucco and the foam. 2. The windows have exposed headers. Not sure what I should do about header flashing and/or the top nail fin in this case. 3. There's some sort of bracket running around the other windows that is embedded in the stucco and is also between the exposed header and the window. What is that bracket? Do i need to install it as part of the window install or is this a stucco contractor thing? Here's a link to some pictures: http://www.intelligent-isi.com/Misc/IMG_0304.jpg http://www.intelligent-isi.com/Misc/IMG_0305.jpg http://www.intelligent-isi.com/Misc/IMG_0306.jpg Thanks... |

From the latest patch, Cleanse provides 2 seconds of debuff immunity after cast. It means that champions can not cast slow/stun/other inhibiting skill on the one who uses cleanse in 2 seconds.For example,I can use cleanse to remove the effect of "Curse of the Sad Mummy". (Cleanse's CD is 90s which i can reduce it to 60s with Willpower and cooldown of amumu's ult is 180s, do you think it's really fair?) And after using cleanse,I also get debuff immunity that nobody can cast slow or stun skill on me.What do you think of it,guys? I meet many times that our team can't catch Singed or Mundo who is with cleanse, especually Tryndamere using Undying Rage for 6s plus this 2s. A lot of my friends think cleanse is too overpowered and should be nerfed.It destroies the balance of LOL.
Senior Member
This has been discussed many times, however I know how bad the search function is so i'm not surprised for another thread like this. IMO the cooldown time should be increased a little, but other then that I think it's fine.
Don't you think not being able to move at all for 2 seconds is a lot more overpowered then not being able to be slowed for 2 seconds? Yet we have stuns.
Nah man, cleanse is totally fine, now promote that **** is the real imba. I can't win a game without at least 2 promotes on my team
VP of Game Design
we will nerf it a tiny bit We are going to yank promote until we can remake it though, it never adds good gameplay, just causes problems, in its present state.
The Council
It makes sense to me, why cleanse just the present snares only to get snared exactly after? Minotaur's Ult needs to be that way too.
A good change in my opinion would be a buff to duration, however make snare removal reactive[ala flash]. This would introduce more skill differentiation. Additionally cleanse needs some sort of effect if it remains as a bubble immunity effect.
lol, troll comment gets taken seriously ftw. Hrmmm... I also think shaco ulti should create an extra image to make backdooring towers more effective?

Yes Marianne, this is supposedly the main reason light bends. The other reason is that under very strong gravitational force, like that close to a massive object like a star, even the fabric of space bends. Yes you read correct, space itself can bend and twist. Space is not nothing but something. Isn't it cool?
I've read a few theoretical physics books and while most of it makes sense, other parts are tough to wrap my mind around and gravitational lensing is one of them. Like, how do scientists know if light is being bent by gravity? Can they detect a shift in wavelengths perhaps?
An explanation of why this occur is this: light is really waves in the electromagnetic field. If you imagine such a wave passing by a star the wave fronts closest to the star gets pulled closer together and subsequently the wave fronts on the other side gets pulled apart. If you try to draw this picture on a paper you'll see the wave curve which is known as gravitational lensing.

The eight vice presidential debates held over the past 36 years have had minimal impact on the election results. Arguably, only one -- Republican Dick Cheney's strong performance against Democrat Joe Lieberman in 2000 -- significantly shifted the polls. Here's a glimpse at some of the stumbles, bumbles and shining moments in previous VP debates.
1. Lloyd Bentsen tells Dan Quayle he's no Jack Kennedy.
Lloyd Bentsen was elected to Congress from Texas in 1950 and served alongside another young lawmaker with higher ambitions, Massachusetts Rep. John F. Kennedy. Flash forward to 1988: Republican vice presidential nominee Dan Quayle, at left, repeatedly invoked Kennedy's name and youthful image. At the debate in Omaha, the Indiana senator, 41, declared that he had as much legislative experience as Kennedy when JFK was elected president in 1960. Bentsen raised his eyebrows at Quayle's assertion -- and was prepared with a devastating rejoinder: "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy." Quayle's "deer in the headlights" look exacerbated the damage.
2. Admiral Stockdale gets lost in space.
Quayle's second debate performance was overshadowed not by his Democratic rival, Al Gore, but by the running mate of third-party contender Ross Perot. Retired Adm. James Stockdale, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, wondered aloud, "Who am I? Why am I here?" Stockdale later said he couldn't hear a question because his hearing aid was not turned on.
3. Bob Dole decries "Democrat wars."
Jimmy Carter's big early lead over incumbent Republican Gerald Ford had dissipated by the time Democrat Walter Mondale faced off with Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, who had replaced Nelson Rockefeller on the 1976 GOP ticket. Dole was a wounded veteran of World War II, but his acerbic assertion that all American military conflicts of the 20th century were "Democrat wars" came as a shock to vets who blamed the Kaiser, Hitler and Kim Il-Sung.
4. Barbara Bush says Geraldine Ferraro is a (rhymes with witch).
Geraldine Ferraro, at right, in 1984 became the first woman nominated for vice president by a major American party. In her debate with Vice President George Bush, she was substantive and aggressive. A little too aggressive for Bush's wife, Barbara. After the debate, the nation's second lady made headlines when she declared that the New York congresswoman was something that "rhymes with witch."
5. John Edwards reminds us that Dick Cheney has a gay daughter.
The award for gratuitous mention of an irrelevant fact goes to 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards. In his debate with Vice President Dick Cheney, Edwards praised the family values of the Cheney family and their willingness "to talk about the fact that they have a gay daughter." The bizarre comment didn't have much to do with anything and earned bipartisan condemnation.
Prince offered samples of a funky new solo album during an intimate late-night preview. He didn't mention the album's title or release date, but he did express frustration with the slow-grinding wheels of the record business.

Wednesday, August 13 10:13:17
Michael O'Flynn, one of the most prolific property developers Ireland has ever produced, today said that he has the funds to repay loans now controlled by US equity group, Blackstone.
In a statement to BusinessWorld.ie, Mr Flynn said that he has funds available not only to immediately repay the loans in respect of which demands were served on him recently (in the amount of E16.7m) but also to repay all of his personal loans with Blackstone's Carbon Finance Limited. This amounts to just under E25m.
Mr O'Flynn is taking legal action against Blackstone to prevent an examiner being appointed to some of his companies.
In his statement, Mr O'flynn said: "Carbon Finance Limited had sought to appoint receivers over some of Mr. O'Flynn's properties when they deemed that he was not in a position to repay his personal loans and had followed this with a series of steps in reliance on the alleged failure to meet the demand. Carbon Finance Limited presented Mr. O'Flynn with the demand for repayment of his personal loans on Tuesday 29 July, and followed up in a matter of hours with a series of steps including the appointment of Receivers over the assets of a number of O'Flynn Group companies. They also presented a petition to the High Court to appoint an interim examiner to four of the O'Flynn Group's Irish trading companies. Carbon openly admitted in the court proceedings that service of the personal demands was undoubtedly designed to bring about an event of default on the corporate facilities."
He added that on 29th July the High Court granted an ex parte application by Carbon for the appointment of an interim examiner which O'Flynn Group is now seeking to have removed on the basis that Carbon Finance Limited failed to disclose all material matters to the court in its application.
"These included, for example, the fact that the companies were up to date in all their payment obligations, had significant cash on hand, had been cooperating with Carbon and supplying it with financial information and that there existed a number of disputes about how the loan facilities were now being operated by Carbon as compared to NAMA. Michael O'Flynn is also applying for an order to the effect that the demands in relation to his personal loans (which were being fully serviced) in this case were unlawful and that, as a consequence, the steps that followed were also invalid," he said.
"The O'Flynn Group of companies have been in business for 36 years, including successfully navigating and exiting the NAMA scheme in May of this year when Carbon purchased its loans."

I am currently on Amtrak headed down to DC just for the night. I wasn't 100% sure of when I was making the trip South, and by the time I went to purchase my Amtrak train ticket the $49 or even $69 were no longer available. The cheapest ticket I could get was $101 with my AAA card (side note: AAA card gets you 10% off if purchased at least 3 days prior to departure). Semi expensive to get from NYC to Washington, DC but oh well, it is what it is. I could have flown for about the same price, but from JFK and getting there is much more of a hassle then Penn Station. I purchased my ticket and moved on.
Yesterday though, when I was updating my Promotions page on this site I was reminded that Amtrak was offering a 30% bonus on all purchased miles through June 30th. I went to the Amtrak site and priced out the cost for purchasing 4,000 miles (the cost of a one way train ticket along the Northeast). 3,000 points + 900 bonus would cost me only $82 (I also have a few random Amtrak points laying around so it was fine that I was able to purchase 100 points less then the 4,000 points required). I purchased the points, redeemed my point reservation with the points, cancelled my already existing paid reservation, and saved myself $19! By no means a massive savings, but for about 5 minutes of my time I'll take a $20 bill back in my pocket any day. Yes, there is a slight opportunity cost as I will not be earning points, but unless there is a bonus promotion or you are taking the Acela, I find the number of points earned on each trip so minimal. I would have only earned 202 points on this trip, which I'd value at about $5, if that.
Some things to know with Amtrak travel:
- As long as the reservation is not ticketed, you are able to cancel with no fee
- The terms with purchasing points state that they can take up to 72 hours to post, however, in my experience they post immediately
- You can only purchase up to 10,000 points in a calendar year
- You can redeem your points for another passenger (this means if you've already hit the 10,000 point amount for purchases, use a friend/family members account)
Michael W Travels said,
Any reason why you didn't just take the bus?
subham said,
I think Amtrak is more comfortable than a bus ride. My Q is how do u decide between a flight and a train for any travel? is Amtrak faster than plane for some instances?
Asen said,
I have a few questions regarding Amtrak
1. Amtrak terms and conditions state that I can cancel with full refund only if I cancel 30 days before the journey. You are saying that is not true?
2. Are award reservations refundable too?
3. How do you check Amtrak award availability? When I try, I just get a message "you do not have enough points in your account" -
Noah Kimmel said,
as much of a plane junky as I am, Amtrak takes the same amount of time (if not faster depending on where you go) and doesnt require expensive cabs to/from both airports. Seats are more comfortable, wifi for the whole trip, instead of about 10,000 ft.
As for the buses, they are the cheapest at $1-$20 generally, but definitely the slowest, least comfortable way to travel.
Vik said,
You could have used your UR points as well
dealswelike said,
@Vik – Absolutely correct. While many do not transfer UR points to Amtrak because they are not "aspirational" awards, many times you can get at least 2 points per cent value, which isn't bad.
dealswelike said,
@Michael W Travels – Traveling up I-95 on a beautiful Sunday day with beach traffic was not very appealing!
dealswelike said,
@subham – typically for these short distances I actually drive. I go to Boston quite often and many times just drive. Mr. Deals, however, travels short distances for work (NYC – BOS) and prefers the Acela over flying. I think it comes down to a personal preference.
dealswelike said,
@Asen – As long as the ticket is not "ticketed" that is true. This means that you cannot have picked up your ticket in any way shape or form prior to. Award reservations are refundable. When making an award reservation you must have enough points in your account to see availability. If a seat is available on Amtrak you can use your points, just need to ensure it is not during a blackout date.
dealswelike said,
@Noah – I agree. For me, getting to Penn Station is much easier than JFK. I was also able to get about 3 hours of work done! Buses are by far the cheapest way to go and I've taken my fair share of buses to/from DC & NYC and NYC & Boston. I've taken every bus possible, so if anyone has any questions about the bus, ask away! From NYC to Boston actually, the bus is about 4 hours and the train is 4 1/2. If you are going during a non-traffic time the bus will definitely be faster. However, on a Friday or Sunday afternoon, the bus can sometimes take forever!
Kevin said,
Just wanted to add that you can further boost your Amtrak points by using the Amtrak Guest Rewards Chase Mastercard. You receive a 5% rebate on all points redeemed. Therefore, in the original situation, after redeeming those 3,900 points that you purchased, you would receive an additional 195 points.
It's a great card!
Truthiness said,
Nosh, I frequently travel on Amtrak and disagree with your statement that there is wifi for the whole trip. The wireless connection is slow, spotty, and generally unreliable. On my most recent trip on Tuesday, the power actually went out in the cars EVERY time we pulled into a station. The NYT just had an article about Amtrak's abysmal wireless Internet: http://travel.nytimes.com/2012/06/03/travel/wi-fi-and-amtrak-missed-connections.html?pagewanted=all.
bill said,
Just recently (2013) Amtrak has started making refunds more difficult. They can withhold a fee or, as happened to me, they will only issue an e-voucher refund which ridiculously enough can only be redeemed in person at the station with an agent. I've given up on Amtrak wifi for amything more data intensive than twitter.
dealswelike said,
@Bill – I agree with you. I currently hold a voucher as since I purchased one of their lowest fares and now have to redeem at a station.
jodi said,
i cannot find the price to buy points …
i needed 8.000 to equal 15000 points to go from vt to fla but since i was short the 8k i paid the full fare of 384 dollars ( with a roomete) would buying 8000 points have been cheaper -

"Why stands she near the auction stand,
That girl so young and fair?
What brings her to this dismal place,
Why stands she weeping there?"
With the growing population of slaves in the Southern States of America,
there is a fearful increase of half whites, most of whose fathers are
slaveowners, and their mothers slaves. Society does not frown upon the man
who sits with his mulatto child upon his knee, whilst its mother stands a
slave behind his chair. The late Henry Clay, some years since, predicted
that the abolition of Negro slavery would be brought about by the
amalgamation of the races. John Randolph, a distinguished slaveholder of
Virginia, and a prominent statesman, said in a speech in the legislature of
his native state, that "the blood of the first American statesmen coursed
through the veins of the slave of the South." In all the cities and towns
of the slave states, the real Negro, or clear black, does not amount to
more than one in every four of the slave population. This fact is, of
itself, the best evidence of the degraded and immoral condition of the
relation of master and slave in the United States of America.
In all the slave states, the law says:?"Slaves shall be deemed, sold
[held], taken, reputed, and adjudged in law to be chattels personal in the
hands of their owners and possessors, and their executors, administrators
and assigns, to all intents, constructions, and purposes whatsoever. A
slave is one who is in the power of a master to whom he belongs. The master
may sell him, dispose of his person, his industry, and his labour. He can
do nothing, possess nothing, nor acquire anything, but what must belong to
his master. The slave is entirely subject to the will of his master, who
may correct and chastise him, though not with unusual rigour, or so as to
maim and mutilate him, or expose him to the danger of loss of life, or to
cause his death. The slave, to remain a slave, must be sensible that there
is no appeal from his master." Where the slave is placed by law entirely
under the control of the man who claims him, body and soul, as property,
what else could be expected than the most depraved social condition? The
marriage relation, the oldest and most sacred institution given to man by
his Creator, is unknown and unrecognised in the slave laws of the United
States. Would that we could say, that the moral and religious teaching in
the slave states were better than the laws; but, alas! we cannot. A few
years since, some slaveholders became a little uneasy in their minds about
the rightfulness of permitting slaves to take to themselves husbands and
wives, while they still had others living, and applied to their religious
teachers for advice; and the following will show how this grave and
important subject was treated:?
"Is a servant, whose husband or wife has been sold by his or her master
into a distant country, to be permitted to marry again?"
The query was referred to a committee, who made the following report;
which, after discussion, was adopted:?
"That, in view of the circumstances in which servants in this country are
placed, the committee are unanimous in the opinion, that it is better to
permit servants thus circumstanced to take another husband or wife."

Any Ontario OR nurses in here? - page 2
Hello everyone, it's my first post in here and am very glad to connect with you all! Moderators, I don't know if this is more appropriate to post in the Canadian forum or in here? First off, I... Read More
0Jan 10, '12 by joanna73 GuideI work in LTC. I wanted to move from where I was. Shortly after I was hired, I had an offer for the OR in Nfld, but I wanted to move west. Then a few weeks ago, a recruiter contacted me for OR positions in Northern ON, but I don't want to move back to ON yet. I think in another year or so, I'll enroll in the periop course because ultimately that's where I want to be.
2Jan 10, '12 by leilo0Thank you all for the replies. I am grateful for the encouragement and support from you all. Dishes, I contacted the ORNAO and hope I hear from them. I always wanted to know what happens in nursing conferences.
Dela RN and BOXRLUVR, My question is for you. The peri-op program that you both taken, Did that guarantee you a job in the OR afterwards? And what are the positive aspects of working in the OR? Why do you love it?
I have always been fascinated by human anatomy. Working with cadavers and body organs in my anatomy lab gave me this giddy feeling i can't explain and my interest strengthened when I observed a four-hour surgery in the OR. it was love after that.
Oh and I start plugging away at that much needed med-surg experience next week. -
0Jan 17, '12 by SuccessfulalwaysHi there,
I am a recent RPN new grad and when looking for work, I noticed the positions hiring for an OR nurse required a special certificate to practice in this area. So it looks like you will need to enroll at a school. I have just started the OR program at Mohawk college. Humber College, and Centennial have OR programs as well.

This is Amelia Rayno's third season on the Gophers men's basketball beat. She learned college basketball in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), where fanhood is not an option. In 2010, she joined the Star Tribune after graduating from Boston's Emerson College, which sadly had no exciting D-I college hoops to latch onto. Amelia has also worked on the sports desk at the Boston Globe and interned at the Detroit News.
Follow Rayno on Twitter @AmeliaRayno
* A team source confirmed that Andre Hollins will start at point guard today in place of Julian Welch, who is dealing with a hip pointer.
* Despite Welch saying yesterday that he would play through the injury, the source said he would NOT be available at all today against Indiana.
*Ahanmisi's status is still questionable.
The Gophers should be used to this pressure by now. For the last four games they've been playing in situations dubbed "huge games."
The question now is not how they will respond to being squeezed – we know how the Gophers have responded over and over in pressure situations – but whether they can change that reaction.
As I wrote in today's Star Tribune, the last time the Gophers needed a spark this badly, they found it – at Indiana. Now they're hoping they can get the same kind of buoyant win again at home.
"I was just telling them today, 'Fellas, listen,'" coach Tubby Smith said. "'We still have opportunities to right the ship. It hasn't completely sunk yet. We're bailing water right now. We're pumping it out, but pretty soon you have to stay afloat and stay focus on the things ahead and go back to the basics.' I think that's what happens. You start losing track, like one-hand passes or not coming to meet the pass. Little things like that in any game make a big difference. So we try to go back to the basic fundamentals and lighten up a bit. We didn't go as hard, so maybe that will keep them mentally sharp as well.
"We do talk about it, talk about what this game means. Hopefully they understand and will rise to the occasion."
Three things that are important to sweeping the Hoosiers.
1. Mental toughness. Yes, the Gophers CAN win this one. But they need to believe it for 40 minutes.
2. Point guard play. With Welch out and Ahanmisi questionable, the pressure is turned up on freshman Andre Hollins to get the team going. He's had some good games lately, but has struggled with some of the things the Gophers need to guard against: turnovers and lack of awareness.
3. Turnovers. The Gophers are capable of good ball-handling. We saw it in the first half of the Michigan State game, when Minnesota turned it over just three times. But then they committed 12 in the second half en route to throwing the win away. Stretches like that just can't happen. They can't.
"I thought our guys played hard, but again, we didn't play very smart," Smith said. "We've played together, but we just haven't been…Together means the guys in the white and gold jerseys. I'm not sure they understood. They must have thought we meant with the other group too, with the way we've been throwing the ball away.
*Today's game is being broadcasted live on ESPN and on 1500-a.m.

text: I don't think it is actually that hard to come up with theoretical causal links between the two. Some have been previously mentioned, but let me add one here (which could probably serve as a seperate, supporting graph) - and that is the increase in fast food intake with relation to greater driving (or, alternately, longer individual drive times). If you're hopping in your car to go visit your friend 15 minutes away, it is much less likely that you are going to stop off for a cheeseburger along the way than if you are stuck in an hour and a half commute on your way home from work. I would say this is probably more strongly correllated with drive TIME than distance, but obviously don't have the statistics to back this up. The more time you are essentially sedentary driving your car while scarfing down high-calorie low nutrient food as oppossed to cooking dinner at home, the more likely you are to have an expansive girth. While the graph may not be conclusive by itself, I wouldn't rule out a strong causal correlation between driving and obesity.

Carnival of the AnimalsThe Project In collaboration with 3rd and 4th grade art teachers within the Huntsville Independent School District, students listened to Saint-Saëns Carnival of the Animals, which many of you may recognize from Finale of Disney's Fantasia. The teachers guided the students as they explored their imaginations and brought to paper--in color and line--what they "saw" in the music. What results are colorful, imaginative creations that easily move between music and art and back again. This work will be on display in the Gaertner Performing Arts Center Atrium and during the concert. Paula Vásquez will conduct several more workshops during Spring Break week at the Wynne Home Arts Center. |

text: I have been looking for a partner in my area so that I can have someone to help keep me motivated and encouraged to work on my weight, and be a happier person. I am going through a divorce after 6 years of marriage, and I'm 23 years old with two young kids. I went from 330 pounds down to 272 since December 2011 by just changing my diet and walking almost everyday. I now have a "problem". I have someone that actually wants to help me, but I am scared that I will disappoint them. I asked for a workout partner, hoping someone else in my situation(fat) would come along wanting to loose weight. In reality what I got was a black 6'3 muscular bodybuilder/wrestler that wants to help me. Am I being silly for being scared that I can't live up to his expectations? I am not racist at all so that has nothing to do with it, its more how can I live up to what he can do that I know I can't? He said he will work with me on what I can and cannot do, and go with that but I'm still freaking out! I want the help, but now I'm unsure! What's your opinion on this?

LOS ANGELES, May 14 - As most boxing fans know, when Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz wasn't hitting opponents in the boxing ring, he was hitting the books at the University of Houston - Downtown (UHD). The former Three-Time World Champion will close the college chapter of his life on Sunday, May 17th, when he will receive the academic equivalent of a world championship title as he accepts a bachelor's degree in Political Science during the University's commencement ceremonies at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. "I'm very proud of Juan for what he's accomplished and he remains a shining example of everything that's right in this sport," said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. "He's a champion in and out of the ring and a role model for every young person out there. On behalf of everyone at Golden Boy Promotions, we congratulate Juan on this outstanding accomplishment.." "This feels like I'm becoming a World Champion for the first time, it's that big of an accomplishment to me," said Diaz. "After going through school all of the years, it feels like a huge burden has lifted off of my back. I'm going to take the rest of this year and next year to focus on boxing and see where it takes me, but I'm also going to take the LSAT review course and apply to Law School so that I always have that as an option in the future." "When Juan turned pro, he made it clear he wanted to go to college and I insisted on it from the beginning," said Willie Savannah, Diaz's manager. "I've always told him he could be whatever he wanted to be and I'm more proud of him than words can express. He has never slacked off from school and has continued to excel in boxing and school, breaking records in both. I love him like he's my son and think it's really important for all boxers to learn from Juan and to earn a college education so they have a plan after boxing is over." In addition to receiving his degree, Diaz was honored last week with an academic achievement award from the social sciences department at UHD for students who demonstrated scholastic excellence as well as a commitment to their field of study.
