Cause for excitement: We have a poll in the Vermont governor's race!
The poll shows Republican Gov. Jim Douglas at 48%, Democrat Gaye Symington at 33% and independent Anthony Pollina at 7%.
In any other state this would be unequivocally good news for Douglas. In Vermont, though, if no gubernatorial candidate makes it past 50%, the election is thrown into the state House of Representatives.
With 12% still undecided, Douglas isn't in bad shape, but there's a realistic chance state legislators will be deciding this one. I'd love to know whether those voters are undecided between Douglas and Symington or between Symington and Pollina.
The best news for Douglas is that it looks increasingly likely that he will be the candidate who gets the most votes, which, from a public relations standpoint, would put him in an excellent position to win a vote in the House (despite the large Democratic majority).
Not only does Douglas have a 15-point lead, but Pollina has won the endorsements of three major unions: the state AFL-CIO, the state chapter of the National Education Association and the Vermont State Employee Association. In other words, Pollina isn't going to fade away into insignificance. He's likely to take a lot of votes that might otherwise go to Symington.
But that dynamic is exactly why state representatives could have a tough time deciding who to vote for if the election does end up in their hands. You can make a case that Pollina and Symington voters form an anti-Douglas coalition. So, if Douglas takes the most votes, but Symington and Pollina's totals combined are higher than Douglas', it's not clear whether the will of the people would be on the side of Douglas or Symington.

Think Costa Rica will be a team to look out for Lavolpe is a good manager and could take them to that extra level.
I hope US gets a game up in Chicago. If that's the case i will be going to watch that game. When is the draw supposed to be?
[MENTION=3913]steelktm[/MENTION] It's not really a draw but a "which set ups can we profit more from" in any case I have no idea when they will announce what teams go in which group or "pots" it's kind of shameful for me at least that Canada ,USA, and Mexico are automatically in the tournament but sadly there is no profit if those 3 aren't present.
Interesting, I was just on the MNT website today and no mention of who will be playing where and when. I'd really like to see the US play in Chicago as well. I suppose a weekend match would be too much to ask for?
The competition doesn't get scheduled until after certain events because that's what determines the seeding.
Yeah, several of the nations look on the up- obviously USA and Mexico, but also Costa Rica as Javi mentioned. With the rise of the Confederations Cup, teams will take it seriously.
The us team will go down a goal in the first 5 mins. as usual..Bradley Sr. must hv pics of his bosses in compromising acts...
From todays' Washington Post: *The Gold Cup groups and pairings won't be set by CONCACAF for at least another week or two, but it appears the United States' route will go from Detroit's Ford Field to Tampa's Raymond James Stadium and then to Kansas City's new soccer-specific arena in the first round. Assuming they win the group, the Americans would likely play a quarterfinal at Washington's RFK Stadium on June 19. Defending champion Mexico seems set to play in Dallas, Charlotte and Chicago (Soldier Field) before heading to New Jersey's Meadowlands for the quarters. Houston's Reliant Stadium will host the June 22 semifinals and the Rose Bowl is set to stage the June 25 final. KC is about a five or six hour drive for me. Further than Chicago, but still doable!

Would really like to take my son to that game, but with what is already on the books for that week I don't think it'll happen.
depending on the date if they are playing up in detroit then i may try and make that as it's only a 5.5 hour drive from me. hopefully tickets aren't too much and they put grass up in there because i hate turf fields. sports should all be on grass not turf.
Has anyone played football on some of that new turf, FieldTurf is the official name. It's not your traditional plastic pitch it's designed to mimic a real field. The New Meadowlands has it.
Yeah i've ran on it and my sister has played field hockey on it. she didn't like it at all. Cardinal Stadium though here in Louisville were one of the first stadiums to put this in. just don't feel soccer should be played on it.
Still staying in a concacaf subject I heard that the concacaf champions league was rigged so that at least one MLS team would make it to the final nothing solid tho but someone said they fixed the drawings.
I don't think they did that. what i think they did to help the MLS teams in it (because it's just C-Bus and RSL, not really big market MLS) is to have the two play each other in this round since MLS is still like 3 or 4 weeks away from starting their season while Mexico and the other Central American leagues have been going for a couple 3 or 4 weeks now. That way once the semi-final round comes up the MLS team that advanced would have a couple more games so they would be a little more competitive than in years previous.
I play on it weekly. The main difference that I notice is that the ball bounces higher than it would on grass.
From what i read as well for older players it is harder on their knees than normal grass. For me though sports that play on grass should be on grass. none of this field turf stuff. this goes for MLB and NFL.

With Rotation Questions Mounting for the San Francisco Giants, Is Yusmeiro Petit the answer?
The mainstay of success for the San Francisco Giants since 2010 has been its homegrown pitching. There will be at least one spot open in the rotation come the start of next season, with Barry Zito hitting the road for elsewhere. So, who takes over Zito's slot?
Based on what we've seen from homegrown talent lately, the easy answer to that question should be Yusmeiro Petit. The 28-year-old native of Venezuela threw the best game of his young Major League career on Sunday, allowing just two earned runs over six-plus innings, striking out a career-high 10 Diamondbacks in the process. He also allowed only one walk.
Petit replaced Matt Cain the rotation after he went on the DL in August for the first time in his career. Sunday marked the third big league start for Petit this season, and his first two weren't too shabby, either. Petit allowed only two earned runs in each of his first two starts, keeping the Giants in the ballgame while he was on the mound.
As I mentioned earlier, Zito will be a free agent at the end of this season. So will Chad Gaudin, and re-signing Tim Lincecum isn't a guarantee. As of right now, the only current Giants who will be a part of the rotation in 2014 are Cain and Madison Bumgarner. Even Ryan Vogelsong's contract is up, though he has a $6.5 million team option.
Questions are bountiful for the Giants rotation in 2014, but Petit should be an answer to one of those problems. The Giants should be able to bring back Vogelsong; Lincecum may not be so easy. So instead of spending an abundance of money on free-agent starting pitching, the organization should look to Petit to fill some shoes.
Petit has pitched for four organizations (New York Mets, Miami Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks, Seattle Mariners), the majority of his experience coming in Arizona, where he posted a career record of 9-19 with a 5.05 ERA in 56 appearances. Those numbers are nothing impressive, but if the Petit that pitched Sunday shows up to spring training in 2014, he should easily earn a job in the rotation.
Petit struck out National League RBI leader Paul Goldschmidt twice on Sunday. Giants' fans know how much he has hurt the team the past three seasons. If that's a sign of things to come, Petit could be a household name in 2014.

The next Pavarotti, moi?
Juan Diego Florez is touted as the tenor to watch. After his triumphant Royal Opera run, he tells Michael Church he is shocked - but rather chuffed - at being compared to 'last century's greatest voice'
Monday 20 December 2004
With its protracted parade of paternal avarice and ugly-sister arrogance, Rossini's
La Cenerentola takes a very long time to get to the point. Cinderella sings her pathetic little song, the royal tutor comes on disguised as a beggar and Prince Charming's knights herald his arrival. All nice stuff, but you just hope it's going to be worth the wait - and so we did at the premiere in Covent Garden three years ago. The young Peruvian in the role of the Prince had good reviews for performances with the Royal Opera in exile and he'd starred in Rossini's
Otello, but this was his real London debut.
With its protracted parade of paternal avarice and ugly-sister arrogance, Rossini's La Cenerentola takes a very long time to get to the point. Cinderella sings her pathetic little song, the royal tutor comes on disguised as a beggar and Prince Charming's knights herald his arrival. All nice stuff, but you just hope it's going to be worth the wait - and so we did at the premiere in Covent Garden three years ago. The young Peruvian in the role of the Prince had good reviews for performances with the Royal Opera in exile and he'd starred in Rossini's Otello, but this was his real London debut.
Even in valet attire - with peaked cap, braided suit and leggings - Juan Diego Florez immediately cut a noble figure, but when he opened his mouth you sensed the auditorium suddenly holding its breath: over tentative strings, plus Sonia Ganassi's silky mezzo, Florez blazed into the heavens. His delivery of Rossini's fiendishly difficult (and fiendishly high) lines was flawless, effortless and wonderfully sweet; rarely does talent declare itself so unequivocally. Given the immediate accolade of a full South Bank Show, and hailed by the popular press as "the second Pavarotti" and "opera's Tom Cruise", he's now basking in the limelight: having just starred in Donizetti's Don Pasquale at Covent Garden and bringing out a new CD - Juan Diego Florez: Great Tenor Arias - he's on the crest of a wave.
Florez was initially irritated by that "second Pavarotti" tag: "I want to be regarded as the first Juan Diego Florez" was his gentle put-down with one interviewer. But when I ask whether he's still irritated, the reply is different. "I'm not," he says, "because I admire Pavarotti as the greatest voice of the last century, and also because this year, when somebody asked him who was going to be the next divo, he said 'Juan Diego Florez'. I was shocked. Then he asked me to sing with him for his birthday celebrations at the Waldorf-Astoria - I was the only other singer he wanted there. It felt a great honour, because he is my idol. He knows my repertoire is different from his - I'm not going to sing Boheme and Tosca. No, he means somebody with a nice voice who can make a good career - not a clone."
One of the most telling moments in that South Bank Show came when Plácido Domingo was asked his opinion of this meteor. "He has a beautiful legato and extraordinary high notes," he replies, then adds: "But he must not overdo it, as that could damage his voice." What is Florez's comment on that? "A nice piece of paternal advice. But perhaps that is the difference between us - he finds the high Cs tiring, but I don't. On the other hand, when I sing an opera with a low tessitura [pitch-range], that's when I get tired."
As his onstage persona would lead you to expect, Florez has an easy grace of manner and he seems to regard the breaks which have propelled him famewards as his rightful due. The first of those came in 1996 at the Rossini festival in Pesaro, where the leading tenor, Bruce Ford, fell ill and Florez was begged to step in. So great was his success that contracts "practically rained" on him - and that rain has not abated. The next break came when Ricardo Muti invited him to sing in the second cast of Rossini's Armida in Milan, and then - on the strength of his rehearsals - put Florez on for the opening night. "Coming from another world, as I did - not as a real student of opera - I didn't know how important it all was," he says afterwards. "Not knowing some things makes you more relaxed."
Indeed, opera was far from his mind when he made his first steps as a musician. Born in 1973, Florez grew up listening to and strumming along with his folk-singer father Ruben - whose light tenor and unaffected charm he's inherited - and also listening to those great exponents of Cuban nueva trova, Silvio Rodriguez and Pablo Milanés. "I wasn't interested in their revolutionary words," Florez says. "Their music was just nice to sing and play." Florez also loved what had been happening in Britain and America - The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin - and at 12 was writing his own songs. He began performing with his father in a piano bar in Lima and then put his own band together. "It wasn't very good," he admits, "but I started organising concerts and sold tickets to my friends. At that time, I wanted to be too many things - an arranger; a pianist; to lead a rock band as a pop soloist - but when I went to the Conservatory, everything came clear and I started to take voice lessons."
His first mentor described him as a little bear with a harsh voice. "It was a very nasal sound," says Florez, doing a quick imitation, "because that suited my style with the band. When I started singing classical, it stayed that way - sort of crossover, heavily miked, like Elvis Presley." He got rid of that sound and hawked himself round blue-chip American institutions the Juilliard, the Manhattan School and the Curtis Institute. "And that was when I realised I had talent," he says, "because they wanted me as a student. I settled for the Curtis."
But the real turning point came when he asked the Peruvian tenor Ernesto Palacio to audition him. "And he was like, 'Hmm, maybe' - [he was] not impressed, but he saw something he could develop," he says. "He didn't like the roundness of my voice, like a cave - he said you should sing clear. But at the Curtis, I'd been told to be round." More imitations, with the mouth changing shape as the sound loses its dome-like resonance, and acquires an open clarity. 'If I'd stayed singing round, I would not be doing what I am now. I'd be more like Pavarotti - with a lyric voice, right for Boheme and Lucia. But I am different. I am a light lyric."
And between "lyric" and "light lyric", there's a great divide: the tenore di grazia for whom Rossini wrote were expected to replicate the preternaturally rapid coloratura singing of the castrati, who were then dying out as a breed. Florez compares this kind of singing to driving a very fast car, and, at present, nobody else in the world can drive it like he does. Moreover, he enjoys the risks in improvisation, both musically within the score's permitted limits and dramatically in terms of how he will move on stage. "I am better if I am improvising," he says. "I never show in rehearsals what I'm going to do in the real thing, because I don't know. The adrenalin and the contact with the public - that is what fires me. My calendar is so full I have to arrive late in a production. Living dangerously suits me."
In Don Pasquale, he faced a slightly different challenge. "For Rossini's coloratura, physically you have to be fit as though you are going to run the 100 metres, but for Donizetti the demands are different. One has to be fit for 2,000 metres: the singing is stretched; very sustained; a very tough line." Will Florez ever sing Mozart? "Maybe, when I am older and my voice has lost some of its flexibility. But for now everybody wants to hear me do Donizetti and Rossini." In Italian bel canto, he explains, the orchestra is there as an accompaniment - "a cushion for the voice" - whereas Mozart is more an ensemble thing. "The soprano might shine, but not the tenor," he says And you want above all to shine? He laughs: "For now, well, why not?"
This is a man happy with his fame and with the fandom that goes with it. He's not keen to discuss the unauthorised website headed by a cheeky pic of him looking fetching in a Carmelite nun's coif, but he's enthusiastic about several others. There's a Decca record label one, "and one by a middle-aged woman called Jean, which is very good," he says. "There's also a very complete Japanese one. The fans are a great part of my career; they travel everywhere. And I have good luck with them, because they are nice people; very respectful."
So what's the longer-term goal? His answer surprises by its modesty: "To sing better. Verdi and Puccini are all about passion, and the polishing of every detail doesn't matter so much. But in Rossini's bel canto there are always things one could sing more beautifully and that has to be your goal. For the career, I'm just happy to come back to the four big theatres - Covent Garden, La Scala, the Metropolitan, and Vienna. If I'm invited back, if they are happy with me, that's the ultimate thing. An opera singer is meant to sing. That's all."
So, there we have it. A consummate artist, who has incidentally provoked a tectonic shift in the operatic world - but with no hidden depths. What you see is what you get.

Trainer Dale Romans said he is leaning toward running Medal Count in the $400,000 Besilu Stables Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park Feb. 22.
Owned by Spendthrift Farm, the son of Dynaformer rebounded from an unplaced effort in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. II) Nov. 2 to win an allowance on the Gulfstream grass in a dead heat Jan. 12.
Medal Count has breezed four times since that effort, most recently covering five furlongs in 1:01.02 Feb. 15 at Gulfstream.
"I think we're going to run," Romans said. "He worked great going five-eighths. He's a good horse and does everything right."
A $360,000 yearling purchase, Medal Count aired by 6 1/4 lengths in his off-the-turf debut at Ellis Park Sept. 1. He followed that with a close fifth in the Bourbon Stakes (gr. III) that was washed onto the Keeneland Polytrack a month later. He completed the year with an 11th-place finish in the Breeders' Cup, fading after racing too close to a fast pace.
Medal Count would be part of a large field expected for the Fountain of Youth, Gulfstream's major prep for the Besilu Stables Florida Derby (gr. I) March 29.

Best Veal Parmigiana In SF?
- 38 Comments
- Follow
Up until a couple of months ago, if anyone asked me, I could say that Little Joe's has the best Veal Parmigiana in San Francisco. I've been eating it since 1983, when I lived there. After that, I moved to Orange County, where we have not a single decent Italian restaurant I've found. So, I would travel to SF every couple of months, and without fail, always have at least one meal of Veal Parmigiana at Little Joe's on the trip.
Now, I've heard that the restaurant has closed for good. I've heard that many times in the past, when they had just moved. But now, it looks like it truly is gone for good (Franco looked sick when I was there a few months ago, and last time I was there, he was conspicuously missing from the restaurant -- very unusual for him).
So, given that there are still no decent Italian places down in Orange County, I will still need to go up to SF for my Veal Parmigiana. However, with Little Joe's closed, does anyone have any recommendations on where to go for the best? Not merely good, but outstanding Veal Parmigiana?
I haven't been there but since you are a VP expert please report on the version at the new Original Joe's.
re: wolfe
Not an expert, just a lover. Original Joe's VP was just adequate when it was in the tenderloin. I don't suspect that it changed just because it moved to North Beach.
re: vulber
FWIW, there's a 2/20/2012 post on Yelp saying this new location is now closed.
0 -
re: vulber
I heard that it relocated to 7th and Market, and then that location closed.
If you are willing to cross the city limits, Joe's of Westlake in Daly City serves a serious VP.
re: DavidT
How far is it from the Daly City BART stop?
re: Hoc
It's about a mile.
0 -
re: drewskiSF
A long walk, but doable.
re: Hoc
I've done it going to Gerry's (sadly now closed) in the mall across the street. Eight blocks, pretty much flat, good sidewalks. There are also a couple of buses. It's very suburban, the new Original Joe's is in a much more interesting neighborhood (North Beach).
re: Hoc
You can find cabs at DC Bart.
re: walker
I generally don't take cabs when in SF. I walk, BART or Muni.
re: Hoc
Daly City is not like SF. It's very suburban, like Robert said. It's not that long of a walk but you have to cross a huge intersection with freeway entrances and then cross a bridge over the freeway, it's not that pedestrian friendly. It's usually pretty windy and cold there too. There are buses (the #110 and #120) but they run infrequently and not very late at night.
There usually cabs waiting at the station, it would definitely make dinner more pleasant to take a cab at least one way.
re: pamf
I don't think the "huge intersection" is quite that huge. I am almost positive that the roadway that crosses over the highway (#280) does have sidewalks for pedestrians and I am sure that a number of people who live in the area do walk to & from the BART station to their homes regularly.
Should you decide to visit Joe's of Westlake, I would suggest sitting at the counter and watching the line cooks do their thing. They put on quite a show.
re: DavidT
I second Westlake Joes' ..big portion crispy breaded veal (or chicken) piquant tomato sauce, good fresh crispy bread...fun through the looking glass-time machine ..mid century modern place...! I have mine with a side of spaghetti with butter and garlic...
When you arrive at Bart it is downhill all the way to the restaurant...HOWEVER... after you're stuffed..it is all uphill after that!I also remember having a good veal parmigiana at Gold Mirror..out on Taraval...the Muni Metro goes right by...
here's a link:
re: ChowFun_derek
Marcello's, a little further out on Traval (at 30th Ave.), is another old-school Italian place that serves VP. I have not had it there so I cannot recommend it one way or the other.
0 -
re: ChowFun_derek
Just FYI -- I don't care about the portion size. Most US Restaurants serve too much food as a portion, anyway. What I care about is the quality and taste. Rather have a thimbleful of good soup than a bucket full of slop.
re: Hoc
Speaking of US Restaurants have you tried the US Restaurant on Columbus? Pretty sure they used to have veal parm and the menu now lists a US Parmigiana made with a beef cutlet. Don't think I ever had it in all the times I have been there over the years.
re: chocolatetartguy
I've eaten there. Very disappointing.
You could also try Sodini's Green Valley at 510 Green in North Beach.
0 -
I had the Veal Parmigiana at The Gold Mirror last summer. I quite enjoyed it, as well as the old-school SF vibe of the place.
And regarding the new North Beach Originals Joe's. I would recommend trying it as reports are they have seriously improved quality in their new location. They are trying to make a big splash in the new space.
re: Calvinist
I was told that the prices reflect its' new surroundings....has anyone been? Can you share about the cost as well as the food quality?
re: ChowFun_derek
Here is link to the menu pages for the new Original Joe's. You can check out the prices for yourself.
re: DavidT
Well, the price for VP is about double what it was at Little Joe's, but if it's great, I'll certainly try it.
re: ChowFun_derek
Prices are online: http://originaljoessf.com/menus/dinner
Reports say portions are smaller than the old meal and a half: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/830364
re: Robert Lauriston
Thank you both.....the prices were higher than I had even imagined....25 dollars for sweetbreads? What a difference...
re: ChowFun_derek
Old-school food at old-school prices, go to Sam's. I think sweetbreads are still $16, though I wouldn't be surprised if the new Original Joe's cooks them more carefully.
re: Robert Lauriston
reports also say that quality has improved too; no more canned vegetables, no more pre-cooked spaghetti (in the examiner review)
re: vulber
When I went to the one on Taylor (for many years) the veggies were fresh.
re: walker
Most of the vegetables at the old place were fresh but Unterman's remark in her review was that they're now using fresh beets rather than canned in the chopped salad.

Good for the casual snapper, disappointing for the enthusiast,
This review is from: Canon PowerShot SX500 IS Digital Camera - Black (16.0 MP, 30x Optical Zoom) 3.0 inch LCD (Camera)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
First impressions
----------------- I thought this was a surprisingly small and light camera for having a 30x zoom. It won't fit in a pocket - unless it's a big, baggy one - but should slip easily into a bag, or not wreck your neck muscles if carried on a strap. It has a nice comfortable grip, a good clear layout on the back with a nice clear screen (although I could only test it in autumn sunlight), a convenient one-touch recording button for movies and, wonder of wonders, a lens cap with a thin strap you can attach to the camera body so you can be sure of not losing it. It also feels reassuringly solid and well made. All in all, it gave a good first impression. The only no-no was the discovery that the Digital Zoom was switched on by default. The camera gives you a 30x Optical zoom anyway. A Digital zoom appears to add to that but doesn't actually give you any extra pixels - the ones you have are magnified and image quality suffers as a result. Most photographers would advise you to turn the digital zoom off and forget about it. And this camera cannot afford to give away image quality as it is its weakest point already. The other annoying negative is a manual that comes on disc rather than as a book. Startup time is fast, as you'd expect with a modern camera. The menus are nice and clear with a brief description underneath of what each option is for. This is not always too helpful - if you don't know what a "Servo AF" is, or whether you want it on or off, just telling you that the option turns it on or off is not all the useful! So you need the manual - bad luck if you're out in the field and away from your PC for viewing it. However, Canon menus on the whole are usually nice and clear and easy to navigate, and this one is no exception. The settings you can change vary depending if you're in Automatic or one of the more manual modes. There are also some very basic editing options available when reviewing your photos. Using the camera ---------------- The zoom is great fun! It is amazing what you can see, when you zoom right in on a screne. A truly excellent feature of the camera is the zoom assist button on the side, Press and hold this button, use the zoom controls to frame the part of the scene you want to zoom into and then when you release the button, the camera zooms in automatically to your frame. This process allows you to see a nice, clear box superimposed on the whole scene, allowing you avoid accidentally cropping out part of a person, or allowing annoying objects into your picture and I found myself using it all the time when zooming. A very nice touch. Now for quality and use. If you're a happy point-and-click photographer who wants a decent camera to use on holidays and the like, you can almost stop reading here. Although not a fast ("bright") lens, pictures printed at 6in x 4in, or A4, or viewed on screen are fine with good colour balance. In all but the brightest light, however, you will need some form of tripod or other means of stabilising the lens at extreme zoom in order to get a sharp picture. But for almost everything, Automatic mode will serve you well and produce nice photos. Annoyingly, if you want to use Macro mode (and most people enjoy taking some macro photos) you can't do it in Automatic and will need to switch to a different mode. However, ordinary folk who don't want to be camera geeks will be well pleased with this camera. If you're an enthusiast ----------------------- If however you are a bit of a camera geek, the good news ends here, even though the camera provides some settings for the enthusiast (Av, TV, Manual, Program). The SX500 does have a very small sensor, as do most cameras of its class. Even allowing for that though, it has a noise problem. Even at the lowest ISOs, noise is clearly visible and zooming in to 100% will leave you disappointed, as will the relatively 'soft' images. Forget low-light photography - the noise is pretty terrible by ISO 800 and you'll need to use a flash. Flash balance is fairly good but still quite noisy - snaps only, really. There's some vignetting at the wide end of the zoom range but it's not terrible. What is more of a struggle is that the lens is pretty slow even at wide angle (max aperture at wide angle is f/3.4), let alone at extreme zoom. A tripod is a must - but the quality of the pictures will still disappoint. That's not only for noise but for chromatic aberration (ie purple fringing). I haven't seen this much purple fringing on any camera for years and it's really disappointing. Macro results, however, seemed pretty good and produced the sharpest & best images of any I took. The centre of the lens, it seems, is extremely sharp. Astonishingly the zoom goes to 0cm! Good luck getting light on the subject though - I couldn't find a way to test that! Colour reproduction seemed very good and true to life on all photos I took - this has always been a strong point of Canon cameras. Conclusion ---------- Overall then, if you want a long zoom in a really very compact camera you probably won't find a longer zoom or a smaller body than this. If you're a casual user and don't want to enlarge your images, or crop in on them tightly, you're likely to be very happy with this camera. As a holiday and snaps camera for this kind of user, it's pretty excellent and even though the image quality could be better it's not likely to be much of a problem. For this kind of user, I'd give the camera 4 stars - maybe 4 and a half. If you're an enthusiast, I think you're going to be disappointed with the image quality and the noise issues. For this group of users, who don't want to carry a heavy DSLR (or want to leave it behind sometimes) I think the compromises go too far, despite the wonderful long lens. The image quality just isn't up to scratch. For this group, then, 2 stars - and maybe, just maybe, 3 if the long zoom is an absolute 'must have' (but you'd be better with a larger-sensor compact and a crop, I think). And not having a manual to hand is infuriating for those who want to fully explore a camera's capabilities. This makes a single overall rating for this camera a very difficult choice! But in all honesty, I think I can't give it more than 3 stars with the proviso (if you've read this far!) that it might suit YOU personally down to the ground if you're a casual snapper. Comments

Truly, I beg to differ! (And at time of writing, it was over �250 and is still well over $250). But if you read around reviews of cameras in this kind of class, you'll see quite often that people have bought them for situations where they don't want to lug around a DSLR. And for these people, there are better portable solutions than this camera. :)

Reply to S. Quon: Why the "sweetie" - sounds a little patronising? Maybe someone IS an enthusiast (euthisust?) and is only just starting out (a kid or teenager for example in a position to buy their first camera perhaps?) Or someone who has had a day job and loves photography but never been able to afford �� or the time and this is their starter before building up. I would say "enthusiasm" can be just as much a feeling in side of someone, as actually doing something.
Just my view, I respect yours, but felt you were a little dismissive of such a really helpful review.

Hi, this is a very good review. you seem to know more about this camera, can you please help me? I am trying to shoot panoramic picture with this camera but I am having problems and I am about to return it. for example; if I want to shoot Panoramic picture with my fuji camera, I'll press and release the Shutter Button and then move the camera left or right to cover the areas I want to include in the photos and each time the photos comes out excellent. With this Canon however, I cannot just do it. I am talking about still pictures not videos. Am I doing something wrong here? please help

Idris - I think it is page 26 of the instruction manual - how to use the panoramic setting. On the software CD - hope I've got the right camera and hope it helps! :)

Hi Kazziem, thank you for your response. however I was actually referring to panoramic photographing of which I understand it is quite similar to Zooming in or out by using the zoom button to cover wider angle. for example I went to Rome recently with my Fuji Camera, I snapped the adjoining buildings in the Vatican square with just one click of the Shutter (using the Panoramic Function) and gently move the camera from one conner to the other and the whole adjoining buildings were nicely captured. I have now been advised that Canon does not have this function/feature, which is indeed very sad because the fuji camera I am talking about is less expensive than the Canon. All the same, thanks again for responding promptly.

Hi Idris - you're most welcome, though I must confess, your reply sparked me to check - the manual page is correct in that it explains panoramic, but I got the wrong camera....I have the Olympus SP720UZ and had used the comparison to this particular Canon model, so I'm sorry to have caused you confusion, and hope that someone somewhere can get you the advice you need :))

Inishowen Tourism is the official tourism forum for the Inishowen Peninsula, located in County Donegal, Ireland. It works in partnership with key stakeholders including the Failte Ireland, the national tourism authority, to achieve joined up planning, development and marketing of the Inishowen touri . . .
Abrams explains that the newly named Travelers411 radio show will continue with the same production team, same focus and same quality of excellence in programming that listeners have become accustomed to expecting from the two-hour weekly show over the last four years. �It seemed like a natural opportunity to focus on the branding of our internet development of www.Travelers411.com with the repetition of the name through our radio programming and marketing of that show,� Abrams notes.
All of the more than 200 archived radio shows that were formerly Traveling Feet are now archived within the sAbrams.com site. Abrams� three-hour nationally syndicated Sunday show, Travel WITH Stephanie Abrams, now in its eighth year on the air, continues to be archived at www.sAbrams.com as well.
�Travelers411.com provides a place for travelers and people in the travel industry to communicate in discussions and through answering questions from travelers about destinations. Travelers411.com is a place for the real experts in travel, the people who deliver the destinations, the services, the suppliers in the industry, to interface directly with those interested in their destination to get the up-to-the-minute information travelers need to maximize their experiences in the most positive way,� Abrams explains. �Visitors to Travelers411.com have the opportunity to create their own photo galleries in the Members Photos section of Travelers411.com with limitless numbers of photos and to post their comments and questions about destination in the FORUMS. Weekly contests are posted at the forums with the current travel award being a stay at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco.
�Travelers411.com�s Members Photos section has just started and it has taken off in grand style,� Abrams notes. � We have invited guests on my radio shows to post photos of their destination, resort, or attraction of interest to travelers in that photo gallery so radio listeners can check out the places we are talking about while we are on the air or while they are listening to an archived interview on the site. Tourist boards, hotels and resorts, cruise lines, attractions and travelers with photos of their last happy holiday are all welcome to post their photos and it�s easy to do once you give yourself a User ID and Password and click to create your gallery.
The directions are posted and you can see by how many places have already taken advantage of the invitation that it�s not complicated to do! Just as the archives of the interviews I�ve done from over 1000 hours of radio broadcasting since we went on the air in July, 2002, have created the most incredible, valuable and unique audio archive of interviews with leaders in the travel industry, we expect that Travelers411.com will expand that dialogue, photos and other information from contributions travelers who frequent the site. It�s also my honor and privilege,� Abrams concludes, �to jump into the fray and post replies filled with what I hope will be valuable information for those who have posted their questions and comments so that we can have noteworthy conversations.
I love the idea of visitors to Travelers411.com feeling that they have the inside track to valuable information and that�s why, when I post a reply to a web visitor�s question, I sign it from �your personal travel expert.� The web can be an impersonal place and Travelers411.com is focusing on the bridge between people interested in traveling and the bridge from listeners to my radio shows, including the show now called Travelers411!� Abrams concludes.

pff nah !black makes you look fat if you ask me!XD
I was just going to say I like the bird one here, best, then saw the comment below... Ah, we can't all have the same likes...
I do like her face and head here better, too--the whole picture looks very nice and well composed, those two fine lines adding a perfect touch and feel....
I actually prefer the old concept with the lipstick instead of a bird, but the execution here is a great improvement; I love both!

The KDE 3.5 Control Center - Part 10 - System Administration
Today's section, System Administration, covers a lot of administration of various features of KDE, including how it handles logins, date and time, and more. This is not for the fait of heart, and you can make a mess of things to the point of even locking yourself out of KDE. So tread with care. Now, let's look at each of the subsections in this area and look at what each one does.
Date & Time
The Date & Time section does exactly as the name implies. It allows you to configure your system date and time. It also allows you to configure its time zone. You'll need to start out by clicking on the "Administrator Mode" button at the bottom left of the window, then enter your root password when prompted. You'll now see that part of this window is surrounded by a red box. That indicates that you're now in root administration mode and to tread carefully.
At the top left of the window you'll see a checkbox titled "Set date and time automatically" with a drop down menu directly to the right. What this does is it goes out to one of several public time servers and gets the current time. Since this is sent in UTC (universal time clock) format, you'll need to have your time zone configured properly to make this set your time and date correctly. That can be done in the third window where it says, "To change timezone, select your area from the list below."

Android Leftovers
| World's first Ubuntu powered Drone launched It seems world is slowly and steadily moving towards Linux powered devices. After Linux was used to power destroyers for US Navy, now Erle Robotics has used Ubuntu to power a drone. |
Linux vs Windows: What do people want from their next computer? The Gnome desktop version can also be made to look stunning too, so users shouldn't think that choosing Linux will make things ugly or clunky, as this is not the case. In conclusion, Windows adding a Start button, which the company axed two years ago, and multiple desktops (a long established Linux feature) will not make the transition and subsequent day-to-day usage much less frustrating than the Windows 8 experience. However, one of the main downsides about the Linux operating system is that by being free, this means that there is no huge marketing budget to get the message out. | The loudest lesson from Ubuntu Vivid Vervet: If it's not broken … Those who are partial to Ubuntu know that every six months the good people at Canonical, the people behind Ubuntu, release a new version to its popular Operating System. Well if you somehow missed the big event, the latest iteration of Ubuntu and all its cousins like Kubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu Gnome, were released on the 24th of April. As usual, you get to decide which flavor you prefer depending on your hardware some of the flavors like Lubuntu are to be recommended over the default Unity based installation especially if your hardware is dated. |

"Opening amenities are often opening inanities."
Winston Churchill
"In heaven I yearn for knowledge, account all else inanity; On earth I confess an itch for the praise of fools - that's vanity"

Theodore Roosevelt
"Clearly the spam problem is not going away and users are being bombarded with inane and possibly offensive messages that they do not want to receive, especially in a corporate environment. In light of today's legal and regulatory requirements, enterprises should be aware of this data and take steps to ensure that their networks are protecting employees from the onslaught of spam directed at corporate inboxes."

Incubus The Warmth I'd like to close my eyes and go numb but there's a cold wind coming from the top of the highest high-rise today. It's not a breeze 'cause it blows hard Yes and it wants me to discard the humanity I know, watch the warmth blow away. Do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier? and leave in my wake a trail of fear(?) Or should I hold my head up high and throw a wrench in spokes by leaving the air behind me clear? Don't let the world bring you down Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive experience the warmth before you grow old.

Bullish Signal? Funds Gold Bets Are At 3-Year Low
Money managers cut their bullish bets on Comex gold futures and options in the week ended April 24 to the lowest level in more than three years, according to data released Friday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Managed funds slashed 2,225 long positions, or bets prices will rise, and added 2,450 short positions, or bets prices will fall.
This took their net position down 4% to 107,600 long contracts, from 112,275 long contracts. That's the lowest in CFTC data since the week ended Jan. 20, 2009.
The net position is the difference between the number of long and short contracts held by traders in the category and shifts in the net positions are considered as indicators of change in sentiment.
The managed-fund net long position represents around 10.7 million troy ounces of gold.
In Comex silver futures and options, these traders added 248 long contracts and 2,883 short contracts. This reduced their net long position by 20% to 10,756 contracts, from 13,390 contracts the previous week.
The net silver position represents around 53.7 million troy ounces of silver.

in Sports
The Tigers pick up a 6-4 win over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium to split the series and reclaim first place in the American League Central Division over KC by a half game. Anibal Sanchez picked up the win but not before the 7th and 8th innings made the game very interesting, and Joakim Soria picked up his 10th save out of his 10th save opportunity. Miguel Cabrera (2-run home run) and Alex Avila drove in 5 of the 6 runs scored for the Tigers, and the other run was scored on an error.
I preview the Tigers/White Sox series at U.S. Cellular Field in Chiago.
Justice and Injustice is NOT as simple as Black & White
in Radio
Black People in the United States of America are protesting the injustice they feel they have been suffering. Many White People don't understand why Black People aren't outraged at the recent killing of two Police Officers.
Where is the disconnect? And why are some turning to violence? What are the real underlying problems and what are the solutions? People are dying, neighborhoods are being destroyed and fingers are being pointed. But who is to blame? Those who express anger through violence or those who many Black People say pushed them to violence? Who needs to take responsibility for what?
On this show, we would really like Black People and White People with courage to call in and let's talk things out...
Agreement is never required on our show, but courtesy and respect are, so there is never any reason to be silent.
The show airs this Sunday, April 30th, at 7:00 PM, E.S.T. Just click this link or dial (818) 739-8909 to listen by phone, from anywhere...

Aryan Nations - Radio
That for which we fight is to safeguard the existence of our race, the purity of our blood and the sustenance of our children.
The Jew is the pestilence of the whole earth and the eternal and deadly enemy of the Chosen White Aryan Race of YaHWeH ! Happy shall he be that serves thee as thou has served us. Happy shall he be that takes and dashes thy little ones against the stones. For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch The house of Joseph for a fire and the house of Jacob for a flame and the house of Esau for stubble and they shall kindle in them and devour them and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau forever !
