Announced in January 2011 at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, the Fujifilm FinePix HS20 EXR (henceforth the "HS20") superzoom is the replacement camera for Fuji's HS10. What's with the extra letters? That designates a "brand new EXR CMOS sensor" working in tandem with a "newly developed EXR processor." More importantly, that sensor is of the backside illuminated (BSI) design that offers the promise of improved low light performance over conventional sensors of similar physical size. Resolution jumps to 16 megapixels from 10 in the HS10, but along with the BSI configuration sensor physical size is increased from 1/2.3-inch to 1/2-inch.
Ultrazooms are among my favorite compact digital cameras for the wide range of focal length they provide in a single, relatively light and compact package and the HS20 spec sheet made for some interesting reading. A 30x zoom covering the 24 to 720mm range in 35mm equivalents; a fairly fast f/2.8 maximum aperture at wide angle and a 1 centimeter/0.39 inch close focus distance in super macro mode.
That zoom is mechanical (manual), which offers the promise of increased accuracy and speed in framing over the powered versions found in most compacts. RAW/JPEG capability (!) and an 8 frame per second continuous shooting rate at full resolution (if only for 8 frames). If you're able to accept 8 megapixel resolution you can shoot 11 fps for about 32 captures. Write times for single full res JPEG fine images are on the long side - 2 or 3 seconds with a 16GB class 10 SDHC card. Writing bursts is time consuming as well.
With my photographic background built almost exclusively around film and digital SLRs the hardware of any camera draws my first attention, but the HS20 also provides the wealth of additional features we've come to expect in digital compacts - auto and manual shooting modes, face detection and recognition, auto release, cat/dog detection, a panorama mode and full 1080 HD video capability with a dedicated capture button. That cat detection mode could come in handy if any of our ten rescue kitties sit still long enough for a portrait. Fuji's website and press release for the HS20 speak of "no need to worry about slow auto focusing or shutter lag conspiring against you" and reports AF acquisition times as quick as 0.16 seconds.
I trekked to the beach hoping to capture a spectacular sunset and was rewarded with a heavy and slightly broken overcast - we're going through another summer with clouds on the beaches for much of the day. The HS20 acquired focus quickly in the somewhat dim conditions at wide angle, and predictably slowed a bit when zoomed to the telephoto end of the range, but not overly so. Shutter lag seems fairly quick as well. Returning to the beach this morning and with overcast but slightly brighter conditions, AF was still quick at wide angle and seemed a bit quicker at telephoto as well.
When I finally got some sun today colors seem true and accurate at their default settings. Image sharpness might be a little soft for my taste at default settings and I've already ramped up sharpness in the manual shooting modes. The jury's still out on this one, however - I spent a bit of time trying to capture hummingbirds in our backyard and may have been punching the shutter when I managed to get one in the frame. As with any camera equipped with a long telephoto, image quality can be very unforgiving of any operator error that introduces camera shake into the equation, stabilization or not. The hummingbird shot is a crop (and still specs out at about 13.5 x 9 inches at 300 dots per inch) and also post processed with Nikon Capture NX2 software, but if you've ever tried to photograph one of these little guys you know they don't hover for long in one spot. The HS20 has shown some promise in capturing speedy subjects but I think it can do better than this shot, which is the best I've come up with so far but far from tack sharp.
So, one day down with the HS20 and it looks like Fuji has come up with a fairly quick AF ultrazoom with nice image quality. The zoom lens itself is a bit notchy and not overly smooth, requiring rotation through about 135 degrees of motion to zoom from one extreme to the other - but I still prefer it to a powered zoom. Even with the larger BSI sensor than its predecessor, the resolution jump from 10 megapixels in the HS10 to 16 megapixels in the HS20 is a lot, and we'll be taking a close look at high ISO noise performance with the HS20.
A while back Canon ramped up resolution on their G10 to 14 megapixels from the 12 of its predecessor and reaped a whirlwind of grumpy user complaints about less than inspiring noise performance. Let's hope Fuji hasn't set that bar too high with the resolution increase in the HS20 - and after the briefest of periods with the camera the results look promising. I don't think Fuji has reinvented the wheel on high ISO noise performance with the HS20, but the camera looks competitive and I suspect noise performance to be at least average, given the resolution. We'll have a complete review of Fuji's HS20 in the not too distant future.

On Friday, authorities arrested a Caddo Parish couple Friday for allegedly selling drugs out of a local business.
Agents served two search warrants, one at a home in the 3200 block of Marjorie Street and one at a residence in the 3100 block of Edson Boulevard. Agents obtained the warrants based on information and intelligence gathered during the course of an ongoing investigation into the illegal sale of marijuana and Ecstasy pills. During the execution of the warrants, authorities seized approximately 20 pounds of suspected marijuana, 118 tablets of Ecstasy, four firearms and almost $1,500 in cash.
Agents arrested 36 year old Sandy Smith, Jr. of Caddo Parish and charged him with three counts of possession of a Schedule I narcotic with the intent to distribute and two counts each of possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was also charged with one count of second offense possession of marijuana. Smith's wife, identified as 35 year old Jacquandalyn Smith, also of Caddo Parish, was arrested as well and charged with one count each of possession of a Schedule I narcotic with the intent to distribute and possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance. Both suspects were booked directly into the Caddo Correctional Center.

Good Morning America and welcome to Reality!
Let's hope people don't make another OBAMA or One Big Assed Mistake Again in 2012.
Bob A.
Good Morning Bob A. This is our common mission here: To inform the American People on the Realities of what is happening in our America and our Government.
This whole thing just sickens me. And it's only going to get worse as the election draws closer. This is going to be a huge strategy in Obama's campaign. Some are even predicting race riots if he doesn't win re-election. It's going to get really ugly.
Pingback: Reality Check: All The Presidents Racist Men….. and Women on Video (via Voting American) | My Blog
Good Morning RH and you are right except for Obama would like to see Race Riots begin now.
RH, I read the link you posted over at Cheers.
As far as the race riots go, the media is already fomenting the basis for the racial bias against Obama if he is not re-elected, and you are correct, it's going to get much worse.
The Chicago thugs infesting the White House will stop at nothing, far beyond the usual political smears, to get him re-elected.
Limbaugh has stated that the election needs to be a landslide against Obummer, otherwise, the thugs will win again.
I agree with Rush.
Thank you Loopyloo and Barb for the link backs ;)
Our biggest hurdle this election will be thwarting voter fraud. The Dems have already proven that they will go to any length to gain or retain power. Congress needs to make it mandatory that ballots get delivered to our military overseas immediatly following the conventions and picked up & delivered back. Let Fed Express handle it if no one else can. 2-We've gotten to the point in hotly contested states and districts that we need the same sort of "looking over the shoulder" that occured during the recounts of 2000. Ohio, PA, FL–to name a few. We're always hearing about voter fraud after the fact–but then it seems to be pushed aside or covered up. I believe we have quite a few in congress that did not win (such as Franken).
Freedom, coincidental to your comment, Ohio is attempting to get absentee ballots out to the troops, and sending notifications through the mail to ALL registered voters in Ohio to request an absentee ballot if they want one.
Many folks would like to vote, but they can't get to the polling places.
This is a good step in the right direction.
We shall see how it works out.
Right you are Freedom and this time the Military Vote must be counted. As far as Voter Fraud and Intimidation go, I believe the Gop and Tea Party will be on high alert and report it immediately this time.
Good Afternoon America :D
OK Sam, let's say that the conservatives score a big win in 2012.
Obama is defeated, and we take the majority in the senate, and retain or increase the majority in the house.
Can you imagine the lame duck sessions that will occur in the interim ?
Can you imagine the executive orders that will flow from Obama's pen ?
Afternoon AFVET and yes I can see the mess that would ensue but it is a beginning non the less and I for one am willing to take my chances on that scenario. Of course Executive Orders can be rescinded and the lame duck sessions can also be reversed for the most part. Yep, I'll take the win and deal with the rest from a position of strength any day my friend.
Good Morning America
What an administration—demented environmentalists, communists, racists, and racist communists. Anybody that votes for the continuation of this reprehensible regime needs to be granted permanent party asylum in someplace like Pyongyang.
Good Morning Bob Mack and all my favorite American Patriots and Friends :D
You're all really Awesome!

Courtnall, Justin
N.A. Juniors Game Night: 3/10
Submitted by chad on March 11, 2009 - 07:58BCHL Playoffs – Island Division Finals – Game 3
Victoria Grizzlies 3 @ Cowichan Valley Capitals 1
Victoria leads Best of 7 series 2-1
W Justin Courtnall, VIC: 0-0-0, 0 PIM
Playoff totals: 3 GP, 0-1-1, 6 PIM
Season totals: 60 GP, 22-41-63, 98 PIM
Top-seeded Victoria takes Game 3 on the Capitals' home ice. Courtnall's got a little work to do here in the post-season. Last season Courtnall was nearly a point-per-game player for Victoria, yet in the playoffs he only managed 5 points in 11 games. Justin is a team leader, and while he'd go through a wall for his teammates, they're going to need him to contribute on the scoresheet, too. Courtnall has just 1 even strength goal (3 total) and 8 points in 26 career BCHL playoff games.
Saint John Sea Dogs 2 @ Moncton Wildcats 5
D Mark Barberio, MCT: 1-1-2, -1, 0 PIM, 3 SOG
Season totals: 64 GP, 14-29-43, +9, 42 PIM
Barberio had his second straight 2-point night and is heating up at the right time. Moncton is now 4 points up on Cape Breton for the Atlantic Division title and both teams have 2 games left, including one against each other to end the regular season.
Montreal Juniors 3 @ Rimouski Oceanic 6
W/C Luca Cunti, RIM: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Season totals: 54 GP, 14-24-38, +5, 30 PIM
Rimouski is back in the win column after having their 17 game win streak snapped against Drummondville this past weekend. Cunti took a stick to the face resulting in a Rimouski power play less than a minute into the game. Rimouski scored on that power play and never looked back. The Memorial Cup hosts are firmly in second in the Telus Eastern Division with 83 points, 16 fewer than first place Quebec and well ahead of Chicoutimi's 58.
Victoria News: Q & A with Justin Courtnall
Submitted by chad on February 26, 2009 - 11:23The Victoria News' Travis Patterson recently had the opportunity to sit down with Lightning draft choice and Victoria Grizzlies winger Justin Courtnall.
Q: You've committed to skate with the Boston University Terriers in the NCAA next season. How did that choice come about?
A: Boston had been watching me for the past couple of years. It's a place I always wanted to go to. As a top-rated school, it's a dream for a lot of kids to go there, luckily it came through for me.
Q: What do you plan on studying?
A: I want to get into business education, but I'll just generalize going into next year.
Q: Grizzlies part-owner Len Barrie has since become a part-owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning, the team that drafted you n 2007. Did you know Len before?
A: I met him when I first came to the Grizzlies. I was pleased to hear Len bought the team, but it doesn't change anything, it's just part of hockey. Tampa (ownership) was looking to sell there team and Len was interested, people buy stuff.

The owners of the Same Café in Denver, Colorado believe that high quality organic food should be available to everyone. At the Same Café, it is. The Same Café offers healthy meals made from locally grown, organic products to all who walk through the door on a donation or work exchange basis. At the Same Café, community, generosity, and social change are always on the menu.
Libby and Brad Birky have worked together as volunteers in homeless shelters preparing and serving food for the last 11 years. "As volunteers, our jobs were to see what was edible and what was trash. We were making food that we didn't think we should serve and we were trying to make it taste good. We felt there was a real discrepancy between what we would eat and what people who were living in poverty would eat."
Today, Libby and Brad have built a small community around growing, preparing, and serving high quality, organic foods to all people. Social change is happening at the Same Café in Denver, where there is a new lunch menu every day and the expectation that you do what you can in exchange for food and community. The café operates on the honor system: guests eat in exchange for a reasonable donation or for volunteering in the café. The results have been rewarding because the very nature of this café has created a spirit of generosity that fills the room. If you can pay, you do. If you cannot pay, you can work in the garden, sweep floors, serve food, or help with the dishes.
"A lot of times we find that the people who are the most generous are the people who have the least amount of financial flexibility." Herb comes to the café every day, carrying his lifelong belongings with him. He steps behind the counter and washes up. Recently Herb came in and shared that he did not want to eat because he felt that he had not worked as long as he felt he should have. He left a $20 dollar bill without eating.
Libby also explains that many people with means are also very generous. One couple that can afford to eat at any restaurant in the city comes to the Same Café every Saturday. "They always leave enough for their own meal and extra for others who cannot." Because there is a donation box, there is no obvious distinction between people who are paying for their food and people who are working. The boundaries between these distinctions are blurred and the honor system works. What happens in this small community is a dignified exchange of generosity that reaches everyone who participates in the act of giving, so that all may eat.
Libby and Brad talk to local farmers every weekend to find out what is in season and what is fresh so that they can plan the menu for the week. The café serves two different kinds of salad, soup, and pizza every day. Right now the menu features Asian greens, arugula, fresh herbs, potatoes, squash, apples, citrus, snap peas, kale, summer soup with cantaloupe, chicken noodle soup, chicken sausage pizza, beets, and goat cheese and three cheese pizza.
Their garden, which is just two blocks away, is managed by longtime customers and volunteers who created additional plots in their own garden that could provide food for the restaurant.
This kind of sustainable venture is expanding thanks to the efforts of Denise Cerreta, who started One World Café in Salt Lake City. She now runs the
One World Foundation
, a non-profit designed to assist people in other communities who want to start their own café to serve all people.
Denise Cerreta was instrumental in helping Libby and Brad when they first opened in October 2006. She flew to Denver, rented an apartment, and spent a month assisting the Same Café with everything from painting walls and getting permits to guiding them in all aspects of their new business. Six cafes sponsored by the One World Foundation are currently in the works across the country, proving that this is a replicable model that could change the way we view eating in community.

Dips, Lightened Up
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, January 18, 2013
Creamy blue cheese, artichoke and other cheesy dips can sabotage your waistline long before the main course even begins. Lighten up these bad boys with a few quick tricks—they'll still taste fantastic.
Nutrition Facts
Folks LOVE to take their veggies, pita, and chips for a dip—actually, let's call it a plunge. Creamy dips aren't the only culprit out there but those are the ones highest in artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol. Here are the nutrition facts for ¼ cup of commercially-prepared popular dips. (Keep in mind that many folks down 2 to 4 times that amount in one sitting.)
- Blue Cheese: 220 calories, 24 grams total fat, 4 grams saturated fat, 500 milligrams sodium, 0 grams sugar
- Artichoke: 200 calories, 16 grams total Fat, 9 grams saturated fat, 360 milligrams sodium, 2 grams sugar
- Ranch: 240 calories, 24 grams total fat, 4 grams saturated fat, 740 milligrams sodium, 4 grams sugar
- Onion: 120 calories, 9 grams total fat, 6 grams saturated fat, 420 milligrams sodium, 2 grams sugar
Other dips like hummus and guacamole aren't shy in calories either, but at least there's more healthy fat in them. Here are the average numbers you'll see on ¼ cup of popular commercial varieties:
- Hummus: 140 calories, 12 grams total fat, 2 grams saturated fat, 260 milligrams sodium, 0 grams sugar
- Guacamole: 120 calories, 10 grams total fat, 2 grams saturated fat, 180 milligrams sodium, 0 grams sugar
Commercial varieties of dips typically add a bunch of additives and preservatives, which is one of the biggest reasons we suggest making your own.
Lightening Creamy Dips
Dip made with mayo, sour cream, buttermilk and various cheeses have the biggest calorie counts. But these ingredients also help give dips a creamy mouth-feel and delicious taste. When lightening up there are several tips:
- Calculate 2 tablespoons per person when creating your dip (instead of the 1/4 cup per person that many recipes suggest). This means you may cut back on all ingredients by 1/4 to 1/3 of what the recipe calls for.
- Instead of going non- and low fat on everything, choose one ingredient like mayo to keep as full fat and compliment with a reduced-calorie sour cream.
- Replace part of the mayo with nonfat plain Greek yogurt.
- Instead of solid-packed cream cheese, choose whipped or Neufchatel cheese, which has 1/3 of the fat.
- A little bit of flavorful cheese like sharp cheddar, Roquefort or other blue cheese goes a long way.
- Add herbs like dill, thyme, parsley, and tarragon or aromatic veggies like leeks, scallions and red onions to bring out the flavor while cutting back on the fattier ingredients.
Also think about what you're dipping with. Minimize the fried chips and opt for healthier choices.
- Whole grain crackers
- Whole wheat pita slices or mini pitas
- Sliced veggies

Local Invariant Feature Detectors: A Survey AbstractIn this survey, we give an overview of invariant interest point detectors, how they evolved over time, how they work, and what their respective strengths and weaknesses are. We begin with defining the properties of the ideal local feature detector. This is followed by an overview of the literature over the past four decades organized in different categories of feature extraction methods. We then provide a more detailed analysis of a selection of methods which had a particularly significant impact on the research field. We conclude with a summary and promising future research directions.

As former Mayor Jerry Abramson's reign in Louisville came to a close, an ambitious goal was set: 55,000 Degrees. The hybrid business/education initiative is aimed at increasing the number of college degree holders in the city by 55,000 (with at least 40,000 being bachelor's degrees) by 2020.
Today, 55k released a report showing that the initiative is not on pace. In fact, data from the 2011 American Community Survey indicates that 55k has stumbled backwards.
The percentage of working-age adults with associate degrees or higher dropped from 2010 to 2011, going from 40.1 percent to 38.9 percent. That decline reflects a loss of 9,000 bachelor's degrees. And the biggest drop occurred among that coveted young professional group — 25- to 34-year-olds.
Mary Gwen Wheeler, executive director of 55,000 Degrees, along with Mayor Greg Fischer, have cited the economic downturn as one potential reason the recent degree drain occurred.
In a press release, Fischer stated that this was a period of low job-growth, meaning college graduates likely left to seek jobs elsewhere.
(Wages in Louisville have traditionally lagged behind other regional or "peer" cities.)
"We need good-paying jobs to keep and attract college graduates, and we need college graduates to attract companies and their good paying jobs," Fischer stated. "We must focus on both fronts — adding jobs and college graduates — to reach our potential."
Despite this loss in working-age adults, the report points out that some data indicates positive trends will materialize in the future.
For instance, the number of associate degrees completed in Louisville was up nearly 6 percent from 2009 to 2010. Graduate degrees rose by 5 percent, and bachelor's degrees were up by less than 2 percent.
The report states that college enrollment among Louisville's working-age adults has grown by 24 percent over the last two years.
Also, more JCPS graduates were deemed ready for college and a career, according to test scores.
The push for a college-educated population stems from the fact that globalization and technological advances have linked higher wages with higher education.
According to the 55k report, since the recession hit, 5.8 million jobs have been lost in the U.S. for workers with a high school education or less. Meanwhile, 2.2 million jobs have been gained for those with bachelor's degrees.
Furthermore, workers with bachelor's degrees or better earn nearly twice as much as those with a high school diploma.

We did this paddle on a cool day (relatively) in July; probably would have seen more and been more pleasant at other times of the year, but it wasn't too bad this day. We did an "up and back" so not sure if you wanted to go anywhere that would be possible or not.
A pleasant trip with a good guide. Use the toilets at the stores located at the 17-45 intersection and you'll be happier. We encountered fire ants and that was unpleasant! The place looks like snake heaven, but we didn't see any all day.

I was thinking 10 round backup to the 8 in the gun. The first practice session I slammed the 10 rounder in and my slide wouldn't close. I took it out felt it lock up and fired it fine. Needless to say I sent it back and 47ox is all I carry now. In the officers frame are the 7 rounders all that will work dependably . Should the 10 rounder have worked? I'm sticking to 47ox for now but would like a couple extra rounds. Is my option a fullsize gun or be happy with 7?

Lisa Peju
Lisa Peju, the Peju Ambassador |
There's no such thing as a typical day for Lisa Peju. The oldest daughter of Peju co-founders Tony and HB Peju is always on the go, sometimes traveling to three different states during a week's time to represent Peju Family Estates Wines at winemaker dinners, trade and consumer events and meet with retailers. You may recognize Lisa from her popular ads that run in the San Francisco Chronicle and various other wine country publications. Lisa's passion and love for her family's business shines through in every photo. The Peju's Rutherford vineyard has been home to Lisa since she was six years old. It was then that she moved with her parents from Southern California to wine country to begin a life devoted to growing grapes, producing high-quality wines and finding new and innovative ways to market the family brand. Lisa spent her childhood attending Napa Valley schools during the day and tending to the vineyard in the evenings and on weekends. It wasn't uncommon to see Lisa and her sister Ariana driving the family four-wheeler along the property's dirt paths with piles of grapes in the back bed. After graduating from St. Helena High School, Lisa first attended Marymount College in Palos Verdes and then U.C. Santa Barbara to study marketing and graphic design with plans of becoming a computer animator. But a summer trip to Paris in 1999 to study French at Sorbonne University with Ariana planted the seeds for another calling. Three years later, the French language came in handy as HB took her daughters to VIN EXPO in Bordeaux, the largest wine Exposition in the World. Lisa enjoyed promoting Peju's wines so much that she decided to change career paths and join the family business as a marketing and public relations ambassador. The position was a perfect fit, and it meant that Lisa would play an integral role in carrying on the family tradition of producing award-winning wines into the future. Since joining Peju in 2001, Lisa has traveled throughout Europe and Asia, including Japan, Korea and Hong Kong, representing Peju. In the United States, Lisa has blanketed the map and led the charge to reach younger customers. Peju's consumers of the future. From beyond the Napa Valley, Lisa brings Peju wines to homes and businesses across the world. |

Brian Solis, the author of Engage and prolific social-media researcher, laconically wrote in his book, "Engage or die" (Solis, 2). He went on to clarify that companies that fail to interest their audience in a meaningful, enduring, and transparent manner will ultimately be superseded by companies that do. He went on to explain that "Inevitably, however, the greatest advantages of social media reside in its ability for worthy individuals and companies to shape perceptions, steer activity, incite action, and adapt to the communities that establish the markets" (12).
Solis touches upon the idea of companies adjusting to their communities. A strange concept for business only a couple of decades ago, possibly, but a very important consideration now with how prevalent and influential online communities have become. Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff mention in their book The Groundswell the significance of social media, and as they succinctly explained, "Your brand is whatever the customer says it is" (Li and Bernoff, 78). Indeed, because of the widespread use of services like Twitter, Facebook, and youtube, the power of social media—or the groups of people that comprise them (and it is important to remember that)—now can damage or boost a company's reputation because it gives customers a platform to reach potentially millions of other consumers with relative ease.
For Example (not a real one):
Twitter + many followers + "Wal-Mart is trying to lie to us into thinking they're a good company with a fake PR campaign." = a potential sh!tstorm for Wal-Mart (Poor Wal-Mart, forever being PR's example of a company making a bad decision). That 93-character message that costs a customer nothing to produce has potentially cost a corporation millions in lost sales and PR campaigns. This is especially true if the groundswell gets hold of the message. The groundswell is the generic term ascribed to how quickly a message produced on a social-media platform proliferates and gains support through online communities.
So a good rule-of-thumb according to John Havens and Shel Holtz, the authors of Tactical Transparency, is to always be upfront with your intentions, a lesson hard-learned by Edelman and Wal-Mart during the Wal-Marting Across America campaign.
If companies don't work with their publics and communities in a clear and honest method to construct a brand, then they are putting their name adrift in the turbulent seas of social media and allowing (either willingly or not) the community tides to decide if that brand sinks or floats. By working with their audience, companies can direct their brand into safer waters, but they need to be constantly aware of reefs lurking just below the surface or icebergs on the horizon—each encounter a potential social-media disaster.

McLarens Ron Dennis could well be present at every round of the 2009 world championship, despite his decision to step down as team principal from the beginning of March.
Dennis will hand over the reigns to long-time colleague Martin Whitmarsh in order to concentrate on other aspects of the McLaren Group. However, his new role and his responsibilities to the Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) mean he will remain a familiar face in the paddock for the foreseeable future.
I'll attend most if not all Grands Prix this coming season, Dennis told Formula1.com. I'll have work to do at Grands Prix as an influential member and proponent of FOTA, and as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the McLaren Group. After all, it's via Formula One that we've built the platform on which we now intend to grow the McLaren Group further in years to come.
Professional responsibilities aside, Dennis admitted there was another explanation for his plans to continue accompanying McLaren to all corners of the globe.
The second reason is that I continue to love the sport of Formula One with every fibre of my being, he added. That'll never change.

"A Very Sunny Morning" is such a breezy thing with such a laid-back sense of fun that while watching it's pretty to ignore that nothing actually happens and none of it makes sense. Not so easy to ignore? The incredible amount of padding and repetition it took to boost this thing up to its slender 12 minutes.
Even counting that, it's impossible to deny that a lot of love went into this project. The opening credits are a brilliant pastiche of 1960s kitsch that only the most sour viewer could find unamusing, and the shot that brings us into the story proper is from the perspective of a plate of eggs; if the notion of an egg POV does not bring at least the ghost of a smile to your face, then you are beyond help.
Following this is a surrealist little tale of Sophie and Jack, a peculiar couple with a sentient television named Dong. This is surrealist after the model of David Lynch (an acknowledged influence) in a particularly frivolous mood, but it's not very demanding, in a good way: it doesn't strive to imbue any particular meaning to its weirdness, but just kind of shrugs at the audience, and asks us, "this is sure as hell weird, huh?" To be sure, and it's affable enough that I could never fault it for that.
But almost every scene goes on for much too long, and the zonked-out tone of the film isn't enough to justify that. The worst offender is the first scene, in which Jack and Sophie tease each other mercilessly; we get it in seconds, but the moment goes on for more than a minute. Later, there's a wake-up scene that fits well into the arc of the story, filled with short, shocking cuts that are literally laugh-out-loud funny; but it refuses to end, and sucks all of the energy out of what should otherwise be the film's highlight.
I don't mean to slight the film; it's very fun, and extremely nice to look at – director Eric Cart has a good eye and a remarkable ability to squeeze colorful and memorably absurd images out of what I imagine must have been a fairly tiny budget. But there's no shame in making a 7 or 8 minute film, and at its current length, "A Very Sunny Morning" undeniably outstays its welcome.

'Fast Money' Recap: Awaiting the Jobs Data
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The S&P 500 had its best day of 2014, finishing higher by 1.24%. The index closed at session highs.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Tim Seymour, managing partner of Triogem Asset Management, said the market seems like it will sell off on any bad news. He expects weather to negatively affect Friday's nonfarm payrolls report and suggested investors be careful about getting too optimistic after Thursday's move higher.
Brian Kelly, founder of Brian Kelly Capital, said he is staying short equities. He called the jobs market "stagnant at best" and said the nonfarm payrolls report won't be very good.
Karen Finerman, president of Metropolitan Capital Advisors, said Thursday's action didn't change her overall perspective on the market that much now that the S&P 500 is back to the same levels it was at a few days ago.
Dan Nathan, co-founder and editor of riskreversal.com, was positive about the stock market over the intermediate term, but suggested the S&P 500 could trade down to 1,700 if the jobs report is weaker-than-expected. LinkedIn (LNKD) beat earnings estimates but fell in the after-hours session following weaker-than-expected guidance. Gene Munster, managing director and senior analyst at Piper Jaffray, said that although LinkedIn usually provides conservative guidance, it was still too low for investors' expectations. However, he considers the selloff a good opportunity for long-term investors. He said the growth story is still intact. Nathan said investors can own LNKD if it stabilizes above $200 within the next few trading sessions. Seymour called LinkedIn one of the "rare secular opportunities in mobile" and said investors could take a shot on the long side. Expedia (EXPE) beat on the top and bottom lines and Kelly said he would not buy the stock after this move. He suggested that investors who are long the stock sell one-third of their position at $75. Sony Entertainment (SNE) is cutting 5,000 jobs, selling its PC unit and spinning off its TV operations. Nathan added that the company seems like a mess.Seymour is a buyer of Coca-Cola (KO), which took a 10% stake in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) for $1.25 billion. He called it a cheap way for Coca-Cola to gain exposure to a potentially very profitable business. Nathan suggested a company could completely buy SodaStream (SODA) for a similar amount since it only has a market cap of roughly $800 million.

Movement advocating direct action by the working class to abolish the capitalist order, including the state, and to replace it with a social order based on the syndicat, a free association of self-governing producers. Developed as a doctrine by leaders of the French trade union movement at the end of the 19th century, syndicalism was strongly influenced by the traditional anarchism and antiparliamentarianism of the French working class. Syndicalists looked forward to victory in a class war, after which society would be organized around the syndicats. These bodies would coordinate their activities through a labour exchange, which would function as an employment and economic planning agency. At the peak of its influence, before World War I, the movement had in excess of one million members in Europe, Latin America, and the U.S. After the war, syndicalists tended to drift toward the Soviet model of communism or to be lured by the ostensible benefits offered by labour unions and democratic reforms. Seealso corporatism.

Political party that dominated Mexico's political life for most of the time since its founding in 1929. It was established as a result of a shift of power from political-military chieftains to state party units following the Mexican Revolution (1910–20). Until the late 1990s, nomination to public office by the PRI virtually guaranteed election, but in 1997 Mexico City elected its first non-PRI mayor. At the national level, the president, as leader of the party, typically selected the party's next presidential candidate—thus effectively choosing his own successor. Pres. Ernesto Zedillo broke from that tradition in 1999, and the following year opposition candidate Vicente Fox won the presidency, although the PRI maintained control of several state governments.

A free thinking man, he was sceptical of religion and disliked the government of the day. He read Thomas Paine's Rights of Man and started to become active in lobbying for political reform. When the Friends of the People were formed by a group of Whigs he joined the Strathaven branch, although he doesn't appear to have been extremely active initially.
However, when it became clear that the local nobleman, the Duke of Hamilton objected to the aims of the Friends of the People many members withdrew and Wilson became more active in trying to maintain the local society.
The Friends of the People eventually folded across the country, but Wilson maintained his radical reformist activities. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars many returning soldiers faced unemployment. In such an environment the scope for radical activity was ripe.
In 1816 some 40,000 people assembled near Glasgow to demand an improvement to their social and political conditions. In 1817 the first edition of the satirical reformist publication, The Black Dwarf was published and Wilson and his radical colleagues would read this at their continued meetings.
Radical activities continued in the West of Scotland around Glasgow, and the government employed a number of spies to interlope the meetings and associations of radical activists. On April 1, 1820 a notice was posted in Glasgow and surrounding areas urging people to rise against the British government, signed by the Organising Committee for a Provisional Government.
This alarmed the government and troops were stationed in Glasgow. Government spies encouraged radicals to rise, telling them that England too was in the throes of radical insurrection. This was a deliberate attempt to cause radical leaders to rise up where they could then be arrested.
Wilson responded in exactly the manner predicted by the government. He led a band of radicals from Strathaven marching towards Glasgow. Wilson was initially wary of the information presented that a rising was taking place (he was informed of the rising by a government agent), and sent a man to visit the rallying point at Cathkin Braes to see if it was true that there was a force of French troops awaiting to assist the radicals.
However, despite there being no French troops in sight, the radicals in Strathaven were keen to march, so Wilson led them towards the city, with the marchers carrying a banner declaring, Scotland Free or a Desert. They marched overnight, and by the next day it was apparent to them by now that there was no mass insurrection. Disappointed and dejected they returned to Strathaven.
However, upon his return Wilson was arrested on a charge of high treason. On July 24, 1820 he was found guilty of treason after facing trial under English law (despite the fact the trial took place in Scotland) and was sentenced to death. He was hanged and beheaded on August 30, 1820.
In 1846 a monument to Wilson was erected in Strathaven.
