HUGG Writes:The plot and story telling mechanics of video games have taken serious leaps and bounds forward over the last few years. Emotive stories portrayed in a cinematic way, coupled with voice acting, facial animation and the highest level of interactivity we have ever experienced before mean that some games manage to reach a level of immersion that can rival that of the best movies released by Hollywood.
Games have always included a level of involvement that a movie could never offer by their very nature, but in the past, games have been exactly that – games. But now, the games industry is out pacing movies on their own turf, providing stories and experiences that get their hooks into you and guide you through an experience and story that you control.
With this in mind, we take a look at 5 movies that would have been much better if they were originally made as games and could have offered a better level of immersion if they were presented on a computer screen rather than the silver screen.

Cooking in college presents a challenge to even the smartest student. These ideas and recipes can quickly -- and cheaply -- transform a lackluster meal or snack option into something much more exciting (and delicious!).
Breakfast Ideas
1. Spruced-up bagels. Grab some bagels, cream cheese, tomatoes (that you can slice later), and fresh orange juice to create a quick and energizing meal.
2. Quick pancakes. Don't have a lot of time, supplies (like eggs, milk, and flour), or cooking tools? Grab a container of Bisquick Shake 'n Pour, add water, pour into a frying pan, and voila ... hot, steamy pancakes! Don't forget to bring the syrup.
3. Blueberry pancakes in disguise. Krusteaz makes a pretty decent -- and usually pretty low-priced -- Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix. (It's in a box, usually on the same aisle as the flour.) However, thanks to a recipe on the back of the carton, you can quickly turn it into blueberry pancakes.
Lunch & Dinner Ideas
4. Macaroni and cheese. With multiple, easy-to-make options available, there's no reason why you can't enjoy a dish of mac & cheese now and then. Velveeta and Kraft offer timeless favorites you can make yourself, or you can opt for frozen options if you have access to an oven or microwave.
5. 1-2-3 Ravioli Dinner. If you had the time (and skills, and patience, and kitchen space, and tools, and...), you'd make it yourself. But if you don't, this recipe will work.
6. Bread, cheese, drink. Grab a small baguette, a chunk of your favorite cheese, and something nice to drink. This makes a great snack or small meal and is easy to eat while studying. Add salami if you're extra hungry.
7. Couscous, Tomatoes, and Chicken. Not knowing what couscous is is no excuse for not making this quick, tasty, and easy meal.
8. Taquitos in Five Minutes or Less. Hot, crunchy, delicious. Oh - and cheap and easy, too. What's not to like about this meal?
9. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. Another timeless favorite that's practically guaranteed to fill you up and make you feel warm and fuzzy all over.
10. Homemade quesadillas. Grab some tortillas and shredded cheese, and pop 'em in the microwave. In under two minutes, you've got a delicious snack that leaves very little mess behind.
11. No-Way-Those-Work Peanut Butter Cookies. It may be hard to believe, but you can whip these up with very little time and only three ingredients.
12. Midnight-Snack Brownies and Ice Cream. A fantastic and easy idea for when you need a midnight snack with friends.

November 2012
- I am a full time professional wedding photographer. I shoot with a combination of cameras, notably the Fuji X-Pro1 and the 5D range of cameras from Canon. The 5D2 was the first full frame body I owned and I ended up working my way through three of them. So, when the 5D3 was announced I was really quite excited about it.

We caught up with David Parry at Focus 2012 to find out a little more on the Canon 5D Mark III.
22.3 Megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor
The EOS 5D Mark III features a newly developed Canon full-frame 22.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor that's designed from the ground up to create high resolution, perfectly detailed images with unprecedented speed and clarity. Colours are bright but natural, and fine detail is preserved even in dark shadow areas and bright highlights.
A full 24 x 36mm, the sensor captures 5784 x 3861 large individual 6.25 µm pixels and has a much-improved S/N ratio resulting in better images from the start. A new photodiode structure with an increased photoelectric conversion rate increases the sensor's sensitivity by approximately 2 stops over previous models, meaning higher ISOs with the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera. And a 2-line 8-channel simultaneous signal readout means speeds of up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG) are possible.
14-bit A/D conversion, wide range ISO setting 100-25600 (L: 50, H1: 51200, H2: 102400)
The EOS 5D Mark III not only offers 14-bit signal processing for excellent image gradation, it delivers higher standard and expanded ISOs, and a score of new options to enhance shooting in varied and fast-changing lighting situations. With a standard range of ISO 100-25600, the EOS 5D Mark III represents a 2-stop increase in sensitivity over previous cameras.
The EOS 5D Mark III delivers superb picture quality whatever the lighting conditions. Keep shooting hand-held even after the sun goes down, thanks to an ISO 100–25,600 sensitivity range (extendable to ISO 102,400). Beyond the obvious advantages of its wide ISO range, the EOS 5D Mark III has automatic ISO settings, found on the dedicated ISO menu. Minimum and maximum ISO settings can be specified, as can a user-defined range, plus full auto and manual.
DIGIC 5+ Image Processor for enhanced noise reduction and blazing processing speed
For a whole new level of performance, the EOS 5D Mark III uses a DIGIC 5+ Image Processor. Working with two 4-channel A/D converter front-end processing circuits, and delivering speeds of up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG), and the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor improves data processing performance and features new algorithms that promote greater noise reduction at higher ISOs. In addition to conventional image processing functions the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor offers real-time compensation for chromatic aberration in both still and motion images. With the power of this processor, speed improvements are noticeable from the instant the camera is turned on and the stunning results speak for themselves.
61-point wide-area autofocus
Focus quickly and accurately, even on off-centre subjects, with a 61 point wide-area autofocus system. 41 cross-type points (five of which are extra sensitive double-cross type) ensure highly accurate tracking of moving objects.
The newly designed 61-Point High Density Reticular AF features an Offset Array Sensor (with staggering AF point arrangement) to deliver greater accuracy, no matter the situation. It offers multi-zone wide-area AF for better tracking, has 5 central dual cross-type points (f/2.8 diagonal), 21 central cross-type points (f/5.6 horizontal & vertical) and 20 outer cross-type points (f/4.0 horizontal), and is sensitive in extremely low-light situations (EV-2 for a central point with a f/2.8 lens). With the new firmware update installed, cross-type autofocusing with the center AF point is possible even when the maximum aperture of a Canon EF lens/extender combination becomes as small as f/8. If AF point expansion is selected with an f/8 maximum aperture lens/extender combination, the four AF points surrounding the center point will act as AF assist points. AF points above and below the center will be sensitive to vertical contrast, while points to the left and right will be sensitive to horizontal contrast.
The EOS 5D Mark III has a dedicated AF menu tab, so AF can be controlled without having to go through custom function menus. It also has 6 AF point selection methods (Spot, Single Point, Single + Adjacent 4 Points, Single + Adjacent 8 Points, Zone Selection, and Automatic AF Point Selection), plus a dedicated AF configuration tool for control of AI Servo AF III tracking parameters (tracking sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration tracking, and AF point auto switching.
iFCL Metering with 63-zone dual-layering metering sensor
The EOS 5D Mark III features Canon's multi-layer 63-zone iFCL (intelligent Focus Color Luminance) Metering System that integrates the cameras AF system into its readings. By taking into account the colour and luminosity surrounding the chosen AF point(s), this new system delivers an entirely new level of accuracy, especially in situations where the light changes quickly. The metering sensor enables evaluative, center weighted, partial and spot metering, plus offers 5-step exposure compensation for perfectly exposed images, every time.
Full-HD video with manual control
Enjoy high quality Full HD video at 1080p resolution. An uncompressed HDMI output allows recording of 1920x1080 footage at 8bits 4.2.2 to external recorders to suit different workflows. Use manual controls and Canon's comprehensive EF lens range to achieve cinematic visual effects.
Addressing the requests of the pros and building on the unprecedented success of its namesake, the EOS 5D Mark III captures HD video with a level of sophistication on par with professional movie cameras offering phenomenal performance on a DSLR. It offers both All-I and IPB compression, supports H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile, and automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT specifications) for extended recording without interruption. It offers the option of timecoding during recording only (Rec Run) or at all times (Free Run), useful for multi-camera shoots.
Great quality sound
Give your video footage the soundtrack it deserves. The EOS 5D Mark III records digital stereo sound at 48KHz and offers manual control over audio level. A standard 3.5mm mic socket enables the use of third-party microphones; a headphone socket permits audio monitoring while recording.
High-Speed Continuous Shooting
Keep up with the action at 6fps, recording up to 16,270 continuous JPEG images to a UDMA mode 7 card in a single burst.
The EOS 5D Mark III combines fast 8-channel data readout from its 22.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor and the supercharged processing capabilities of its DIGIC 5+ Image Processor with a speedier shutter and mirror system to raise the performance bar for all digital cameras, capturing full-frame images and recording them fast to UDMA or SD cards stored in the camera's dual card slots. Ideal for fixed focus situations, the EOS 5D Mark III can shoot up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG).
Built to go anywhere
For professionals who demand nothing less than the best, the EOS 5D Mark III is designed to perform superbly, even in the most treacherous environments, every time. The body is constructed of rigid, high-strength magnesium alloy for rugged performance and features a new grip design for easier finger placement and reduced hand fatigue. Its newly redesigned shutter has lightweight and carbon-fiber blades, and is rated to maintain up to 6.0 fps performance without compromise, for up to 150,000 cycles. The EOS 5D Mark III and accessories like the new Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E7A and GPS Receiver GP-E2 have extensive gasketing for improved dust and water resistance, even at their connection points.
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
The Self Cleaning Sensor Unit featured in the EOS 5D Mark II has been optimized for the new EOS 5D Mark III to deliver even greater dust removal for clearer images. To prevent dust accumulation, the system removes particles adhered to the surface of the infrared absorbing/ultraviolet-blocking glass in a frontward direction by vibrating the glass with ultrasound. The particles are then absorbed by an adsorbent at the bottom of the unit; the unit itself is completely sealed for protection against external contaminants, and its front face of the low-pass filter 1 is treated with an anti-dust fluorine coating making it easier to remove damp or sticky dust particles.
Intelligent Viewfinder with Superimposed LCD
The EOS 5D Mark III's Intelligent Viewfinder offers a sharp, bright approximately 100% field of view with an approximate magnification of .71x, a viewing angle of 34.1° and a 21mm eye-point. With a new construction featuring aspherical lens elements, the viewfinder displays less distortions and color aberrations than previous models. It uses a transparent LCD to superimpose a customizable combination of focus points and gridlines directly over the image. The AF status indicator can even be directed to display within or outside of the viewfinders image area. With the intelligent viewfinder, unlike with other cameras, the photographer has the choice of seeing shooting information or looking only at the scene in front of the camera. The ability to effectively erase all shooting data and turn it back on with the touch of a button gives the photographer the opportunity to concentrate simply on looking and composing the photograph without distraction, a great advantage in numerous shooting situations.
3.2" TFT LCD Monitor
The EOS 5D Mark III's 3.2" TFT LCD monitor has 1,040,000 dots, anti-reflective construction and features Canon's Clear View II technology for bright, sharp display in any number of shooting situations. It's ideal for reviewing settings and images, as well as for shooting in Live View mode. In Live View, grid lines can be displayed in 9 sections, 24 sections, or 9 sections with diagonals, as can the dual-axis electronic level, which helps ensure accurate level by displaying both roll and pitch. For image review, the EOS 5D Mark III has a new, dedicated Magnify/Reduce button. While pressing the button, zooming in or out (up to 10x) is achieved simply by turning the Main Dial. Images can be protected or erased quickly, individually or in batches, and slideshows can be created with some or all images and can be sequenced by date, folders, movies, stills or rating. A feature guide can be accessed for the selected menu, providing detailed reference information whenever needed.
New High Dynamic Range (HDR)
With its new High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode, the EOS 5D Mark III can merge 3 images of varying exposure, in camera, capturing a broad range of shadow and highlight detail and delivering an image with stunning tonal range. Adjustable to cover a range of ±3 stops, and with 5 different effect settings, HDR recording truly expands the parameters of the light and dark detail a camera can actually record, surprising viewers with the range of tones a photograph can accurately recreate.
Multiple Exposure Control
The EOS 5D Mark III offers a new multiple exposure mode for film-like image creation with the convenience of in-camera processing. It offers 4 different compositing methods for proper exposure and composition: additive, average, bright and dark. Multiple exposure shots can be taken in both RAW and JPEG shooting modes, previously captured RAW images can be used as a starting point, and cumulative results can be observed and corrected in real time on the camera's LCD screen. For multiple exposure captures of quickly moving subjects, the EOS 5D Mark III even has a specific continuous shooting multiple exposure mode.
Improved handling with addition of new customisable controls
Reconceived based on the experience and feedback of professional users, the EOS 5D Mark III's new ergonomic design is more comfortable and intuitive than ever. With a refined and intelligent layout of all control buttons and dials, shooting settings can be made with just the right hand, and quick image check and image processing operations with just the left. The grip has been redesigned for easy holding both when shooting and when carrying the camera. The rubber skin coating is designed for all day comfort in the hand, and coats the cameras card slot cover as well.
For added convenience, flexibility and limitless, uninterrupted storage capacity, the EOS 5D Mark III has dual card slots, accommodating both a Compact Flash and an SDXC card. It has three recording modes perfect for a diverse collection of workflows. When set to Auto switch media, the camera switches cards as soon as one card is filled, a perfect setting for long shoots. The camera can be set to record separately, saving different file sizes or types to each card. And for extra security, the camera can be set to create an automatic backup by recording the same file to both cards simultaneously.
The EOS 5D Mark III features a dual-axis electronic level indicator that displays both vertical and horizontal tilt on the LCD monitor either alone or during Live View shooting, and can also be displayed in the cameras intelligent viewfinder.
Flash control
Without the Canon 600EX-RT flashgun (or E3-RT Transmitter) installed on the camera you can't wirelessly control another flash. To control a slave from the 5D Mark III, or any other EOS camera for that matter, you will need a master of some sort on the hot shoe (either a 600EX-RT or a ST-E3). Full support of the 600EX with the 5D MK III means that you get full control of the flash using the LCD. And full support of AF assist – the 600EX has support for all the focus points of the 5D MK III. The 5D MK III does not feature a built-in flash.

Highly recommended
By scphoto

Upgraded from a 7D and the difference is amazing. Focusing is spot on, noise is very well controlled - especially at higher iso and image quality is fantastic. It does like good glass, but why would you spend this much and use cheap kit lenses!. Some of the menus take a bit of working through but that's what the handbook is for! Overall, I'm very pleased.

By M1ke_a

I've been a long term Canon shooter and still have my 1D2n, 5D mkI and 7D. I never felt the the MkII was enough of a step up from the Mk1 but the MkIII ticked all the boxes.There's no point rehashing functions and features so I'll focus on what it's been like to use these past 2 years.On my first day of ownership I put 13,000 frames on it shooting a local marathon. Since then I've done other high volume sports shoots and the body is now heading towards 200K frames.It's taken quite a lot of pasting without any issues, including being covered in mud, and most recently out in -15'C and colder temps without additional protection.I was regularly wet cleaning the sensor on my older bodies but have never had to with this or the 6D. - It has been cleaned at CPN when I had an issue with my 70-200 f2.8.It's not a sports body but I've never had an issue with the frame rate for the running and cycling events I tend to focus on. The AF has been fantastic and I've found it superior to the 7D mk I in every respect.I also have a 6D which is much more suited to a slower style of shooting. If you were doing pure landscape work with manual focus, I'd say there wasn't any significant difference between the two cameras.The new 5Ds introduces a new dimension to high res shooting and I don't see any reason why this won't be the go to camera for the absolute best image quality.If on the other hand you want a top end, high quality, versatile, easy to use, robust and cost effective camera then the 5D mkIII has to feature very highly on your list.

Long term review
By ALX
from Berkshire
Having used this body for an extended time (1 year / 12,000 images)for everything from landscapes in the rain to night shoots in winter at 0 centigrade and theatre performances where flash was not an option, I can honestly say that I am truly impressed with its performance. It excels in low light with low noise even at high ISO, and rarely fails to lock on - basically if you can see it then you can get a focus lock on it !Rugged, reliable, and a perfect choice for weddings and portraiture.
Stunning piece of kit
By Budgie
from Newcastle upon Tyne
Having moved up from a 50D to a 70D and now to the 5D MK3 I found the controls very easy to use, although in different positions, it did not take long to work them out. Low light this camera gives great results with little grain and stunning resolution using a 24-105 L Lens. The 64 point focusing system which frankly leaves you spoilt for choice with which focus point to choose is nice, quick and accurate giving a sharp image. I am looking forward to a clear sunny day to get some daylight shots and really put this camera through its paces with landscape and portraiture but I have not been disappointed so far. I use this camera to complement the crop sensor of the 7D which I prefer for wildlife and sports.
Possibly The Only DSLR You'll Ever Need
By MarkEsper
About Me Pro Photographer
When I bought the Canon 5D MkIII I was a committed Canon 1D user and very little was going to sway me. However whilst awaiting the release of the new 1-DX, an international assignment came up so I bought the 5D MKIII as a backup to my 1D MkIV. In short... the 5D MkIII ended up blowing the MkIV away.On my flight over to US, I killed time reading the 5D Mk III's manual and I was stunned as to how many features that found their away across on to the new 5D. From dual drives, to better video, to improved focussing, this little body seemed to have it all.Now, sometimes when you've bought something nice, shiny and new you find yourself treating it gently at the outset. However I decided to take mine paragliding through the sand-filled air of the Mojave desert with nothing more than a firm grip. Upon landing the 5D had not only survived but produced some very satisfying images, so all of Canon's claims about improved weather sealing had been well and truly met.Over the next few days I would use the 5D MkIII to shoot portraits, landscapes and extreme sports - with the same amazing results. Pitting it against the 1D MkIV whilst shooting out of the back of a speeding 4x4 using slow shutter speeds it's new focussing system easily outclassed the MkIV.In the many months since that initial trip, the 5D's form factor, quietness and superbly responsive controls have never let me down. So much so, I bade farewell to my 1D's not long after that initial trip.Normally when I buy a new camera, its new features dazzle for a while but soon the short comings start to make themselves known and you start hoping that they'll be the ones to "get fixed" in the next version. However on this occasion my only concern is what get changed in the inevitable MkIV, because in comparison with previous DSLR's I've owned, the 5D MkIII is near perfect.
Even Better than I had anticipated!

I mainly wanted it as its low noise on high ISO's will allow me to take photos in low lightI am also interested in trying short video clipsI was really impressed with the ease of use and how much more simple it was to change settings than on my 1DFull frame sensor will open up a range of opportunities which my previous Canon SLR's did not have

I love my first full frame camera
By jaygee
from Midlothian, Scotland
Stepped up from the 7d to the 5d mk III. Read reviews for a long time. All were very positive. Wish I had taken the plunge long before I finally did.Using the camera with good quality lenses is a must to my mind. I use 5d Mk III with Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens , the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Zoom Lens and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. Results are just stunningly sharp and colour quality super.
Recommended but with caveats
By Bazza
from North Wale
I have upgraded from the Mk 11 after it fell in a lake & was un-repairable. The Mk 111 is a good camera with a small niggle. The focusing is a lot better, although it is a step learning curve. The image quality is about the same. One thing I have noticed is that the buttons on the top ie wb,drive,iso, are smaller & more recessed. This makes it almost impossible to use when out in cold weather with gloves on, and as a keen winter snapper of landscapes I have found this quite annoying. The only way around this is to use the quick button on the back but to do that you have to disable live view & I always use live view when taking landscapes. The Mk 11 had better buttons so I don't know why they had to change them. To be honest I think I would have gone with a different camera If I had realised I probably would have bought the 6D! I would recommend this camera as long as you don't want to use it in the cold wearing gloves.

Gary Johnson, the American businessman and ex-Governor of New Mexico, who was the Libertarian Party's presidential nominee in the US presidential elections, has obtained approximately 1% of the national vote, which has made Gary Johnson the most triumphant White House candidate in the Libertarian Party's history.
Gary Johnson, who served as the Republican Governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003, uttered to Fox News that the Libertarian Party's mission was accomplished for now. The Libertarian party, as per the former Governor, had presented a genuine 'small government' and 'individual liberty' option to the voters in almost every state.
There exists an organisational infrastructure now, as per Gary Johnson, which will transport the Libertarian Party ideology to every nook of America. The Libertarian Party was established in 1971.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden, elected as US Vice President, as per the US presidential election results, has voiced to reporters that Barack Obama's election to the White House indicates that many voters are closer to the Democrat ideology vis-à-vis addressing the thorny 'tax issue.'
Meanwhile, Gary Johnson has remarked that he was enthused by his performance and indicated that he intended to continue to advocate 'limited governmental polices' in the socioeconomic sector. Gary Johnson has, however, uttered that it was too soon to talk about another Libertarian presidential bid by him in 2016.
As New Mexico Governor, he had focused on school voucher reforms and marijuana decriminalisation. Johnson had adhered to a strict anti-tax and anti-bureaucracy policy as Governor and was epitomised by fiscal conservativeness.
Gary Johnson constituted a non-profit Our American Initiative in 2009, which propagates policies like privatization, overseas non-interventionism, limited government and free enterprise.
Supporters of Gary Johnson have expressed their delight because of his performance, saying that his attainment of more than 1 million votes hurt the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan White House campaign. Those Americans in favour of a 'check' on the Democrat-Republican 'two party system', which has characterised American politics for decades, have welcomed Johnson's creditable showing.
The Libertarian presidential candidate's 'legal immigration policy' was praised for its moderateness by immigration organisations.

Secondly, I just found an answer to my question which was "How does one open the camera?" There is a gentleman on Ebay selling one-or he was-and I asked him if he knew how to open his. He did not at first but said he would notify me if he found out. He just responded with the following instructions:You loosen that screw, then hold it facing down and the bottom towards you. Use your thumbs to push down and toward you while pushing forward with your other fingers. That did the trick for me. Found a roll of film inside!- sloenich1
Yes, I have also read that it has Leica lenses on some models but mine has a Xenar. It is a small,solid camera feeling camera and i like the round sides.
Thank you all for your time. I hope the pictures of this camera help. I'll put up photographs taken with it if the camera works

Ft. Desoto Park 2
On one of the beaches of Ft. Desoto Park one can see the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in the distance. The picture on this page shows that. However, the sky makes it hard to see the bridge. Also, make your plans to visit Ft. Desoto in the morning. The park can become sweltering if the breeze is little or none.

Watchout that seagulls don't poop on your head
The beaches of Treasure Island offer a relaxing and senic atmosphere for that early morning or late evening stroll. The soft sand and the lights of the hotels at dusk bring a feeling undescribable. Watch out for the occasional fisherman's pole and line...because it might be me. Sometimes it is just fun to stop and watch a fisherman for a few minutes, hoping that big fish will hit just as you watch. Dolphins frequent the shore line, just adding to the splendor of the beach.

Focus On: Golfpac Travel
|See the Slideshow Here »
Let's concentrate on the latter. As one of the industry's leading providers of golf vacations since 1975, Golfpac has sent more than 550,000 golfers to destinations, from Arizona's desert to Spain's Costa del Sol and dozens of destinations in between, including the Sandhills of North Carolina, the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland, and the burgeoning market in the Dominican Republic. All of these destinations and more are previewed in Golfpac Travel's newly revamped Website, www.golfpactravel.com, which features new tools to help make getting started on a trip easier than ever.
For example, the Golfpac site contains the company's Vacation Finder, a sign-up box for an online newsletter as well as an offer for its free 2006-2007 Golf Travel Guide brochure.
Want information on Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club in Orlando or Donald Ross's masterpiece Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina? Golfpac's site has the 411. How about the TPC Stadium Course at PGA West in La Quinta, Calif., or Robert Trent Jones' legendary Gold Course at Colonial Williamsburg? Golfpac has all one needs to know about those courses and where to stay, as well as a variety of stay-and-play packages that can fit almost any budget and golf handicap.
"We consider ourselves the gold standard of the golf travel industry as far as the service we provide and the technologies we provide our customers," says Golfpac Travel President, Jeff Hamilton. Hamilton and a group of partners acquired Golfpac Travel, based in Orlando, in 1986 and over the past 20-plus years, have turned the business from $2 million in annual sales to more than $20 million in annual sales.
"We're always being forced to step up to the plate and have innovative tools on the Website that others don't have in order to make the job of the Group Leader easier," says Hamilton. "We try to be as minimally invasive to the customer as we possibly can until he wants to provide us with information or wants us to provide a service. From that point, we build on the relationship and follow up."
A Group Leader, in Golfpac vernacular, is the main man (or woman) in a group of golfers (say four or eight persons) who's primarily responsible for coordinating a golf trip with a Golfpac travel professional. Golfpac employs 26 travel professionals, each of whom are experts in helping prepare a one-night golf getaway or a six-night "trip of a lifetime" experience.
"Most of the guys [who work with us] play golf and have been with us for years, so we have a wealth of knowledge," says Hamilton. "We have people visiting golf courses and hotels a couple times per year. They travel before and after the season, negotiate rates and check out the quality of the product."
And in case you meet a Golfpac travel professional, check for a Rolex watch. Hamilton gives a Rolex to each employee who has been with the company for at least 10 years. So far, he's given out 10, with more in the wings.
"It's a tribute to how we do things here," Hamilton said.
The Golfpac travel professional is the first link in the chain that binds together the Group Leader and the traveling golf group.
"We have a great responsibility to provide the Group Leader with expectations so that he's not going to have [group members] beating him up for having a bad time," Hamilton says.

US weighing military options if Syria uses WMD
The Syrian assurances did not placate the White House.
"We are concerned that in an increasingly beleaguered regime, having found its escalation of violence through conventional means inadequate, might be considering the use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people," said White House press secretary Jay Carney.
"Assad has killed so many of his people, I just wouldn't be surprised if he turned these weapons on them," added Maryland Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, after intelligence briefings Monday.
An administration official said the trigger for U.S. action of some kind is the use of chemical weapons, or movement with the intent to use them, or the intent to provide them to a terrorist group like Hezbollah. The U.S. is trying to determine whether the recent movement detected in Syria falls into any of those categories, the official said. The administration official was speaking on condition of anonymity because this person was not authorized to speak publicly about the issue.
Israeli officials have repeatedly expressed concerns that Syrian chemical weapons could slip into the hands of Hezbollah or other anti-Israel groups, or even be fired toward Israel in an act of desperation by Syria.
Syria has some 75 sites where weapons are stored, but U.S. officials aren't sure they have tracked down all the locations, and fear some stockpiles may have already been moved. Syria is believed to have several hundred ballistic surface-to-surface missiles capable of carrying chemical warheads, plus several tons of material stored in either large drums, or in artillery shells, which become deadly once fired.
"In Syria, they have everything from mustard agent, Sarin nerve gas, and some variant of the nerve agent VX," according to James Quinlivan, a Rand Corp. analyst who specializes in the elimination of weapons of mass destruction.
A primary argument against sending in U.S. ground troops is that whoever takes possession of the chemical weapons will be responsible for destroying them, as part of the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention. Destroying Syria's stockpiles could cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and take more than a decade, Quinlivan said.
Syria's arsenal is a particular threat to the American allies, Turkey and Israel, and Obama singled out the threat posed by the unconventional weapons earlier this year as a potential cause for deeper U.S. involvement in Syria's civil war. Up to now, the United States has opposed military intervention or providing arms support to Syria's rebels for fear of further militarizing a conflict that activists say has killed more than 40,000 people since March 2011.
Activity has been detected at Syrian weapons sites before.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in late September the intelligence suggested the Syrian government had moved some of its chemical weapons in order to protect them. He said the U.S. believed that the main sites remained secure.
Asked Monday if they were still considered secure, Pentagon press secretary George Little declined to comment about any intelligence related to the weapons.
Senior lawmakers were notified last week that U.S. intelligence agencies had detected activity related to Syria's chemical and biological weapons, said a U.S. intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door meetings. All congressional committees with an interest in Syria, from the intelligence to the armed services committees, are now being kept informed.

Gear Review
Make up your own mind!
Most everyone that writes reviews act as if their advertising for said company. This feature and that doohiky make this item the bomb! Bottom line is functionality. This jacket is 100% waterproof, windproof, and idiot proof. Pockets hold stuff and keep your stuff dry. Powder skirt is a little wimpy, but then again you can't have everything perfect. I really like this jacket for me. Make up your own mind.

ORWELL — State Librarian Martha Reid, on behalf of the Winnie Belle Learned Fund of the Vermont Public Library Foundation, recently presented a grant of $1,000 to the Orwell Free Library in Orwell.
The library used the funding to enhance its collection of early reader books for local children. A new shelf, paid for by the Friends of the Orwell Free Library, will house the collection.

ORWELL — Almost every day for the past month, an Orwell resident has awoken to find an outhouse on his or her front lawn that wasn't there when they retired to bed the previous night.
Whether they welcomed the new facility in their yard or despised it, all knew that it was there for a good cause. A committee had organized the depositing of the old fashion port-a-potty around town as a way to raise money for this weekend's celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Orwell town charter and to get people excited about the big party.
ORWELL — Mount Independence State Historic Site in Orwell is offering two outdoor programs on the weekend of Aug. 3 and 4.
First, on Saturday, Aug. 3, naturalist Sue Wetmore will lead a fun afternoon for children and their "adults" exploring nature on the Mount. The program starts at 1 p.m. Attendees will meet at the Mount Independence State Historic Site museum.
ORWELL — Few people know that the largest hospital built by Americans during the Revolutionary War was at Mount Independence in Orwell. The Mount Independence State Historic Site cranks up the time machine on Sunday, July 28, at 2 p.m. to explore the story of health and medicine during the revolution on Mount Independence with the program, "An Investigation Into the Revolutionary Mind: What Were You Thinking, Dr. Jonathan Potts?"
ORWELL — The Mount Independence State Historic Site in Orwell hosts a program on Friday, July 5, 2013, to commemorate the major Revolutionary War decision of the Americans to withdraw from Mount Independence in the face of British Lt. Gen. John Burgoyne and his fleet on the night of July 5 and 6, 1777. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
ORWELL — Vermont historian and attorney Paul Gillies will offer a special program at the Mount Independence State Historic Site in Orwell on Saturday, June 8, at 2 p.m. His topic will be "Relics and Souvenirs: Lay Archaeologists and the Uncovering of Vermont." This is the annual Robert J. Maguire lecture sponsored by the Mount Independence Coalition, the official friends group for the site.
ORWELL — Marlene Latourelle had already spent the past six years helping Shoreham-area seniors stay fit and battle osteoporosis as the leader of a twice-per-week Bone Builders class when she decided she wanted to expand her outreach.
Now the Orwell resident is preparing to teach a tai chi class — an additional offering she believes will help seniors of all physical abilities remain active and social.
"I really enjoy it," she said of Bone Builders and tai chi. "I almost don't look at it as a volunteer thing."
ORWELL — The Orwell Village School Board earlier this month decided to begin the search for a new principal, releasing current Principal Susan DeCarolis from her current contract.
SUDBURY –– Fourteen kids and two teachers guided their canoes away from the shores of Lake Hortonia and paddled over to a small bay full of lily pads and milfoil, looking around at the different plants and wildlife and taking samples from the water.
The group went out to the lake this past Thursday as part of the five-day East Creek Project, a canoe day camp for students from Orwell Village School that is sponsored by the Vermont Community Foundation's South Lake Champlain Fund.
ORWELL –– When Rhianna Carr, 12, learned that she won a Boston Red Sox Kid Nation community service contest, she couldn't believe it.
"I was so happy I started crying and I was just jumping," she said. "I almost passed out when I found out, I was so happy."
Carr, an Orwell resident and big Sox fan, entered a contest run by Kids Nation, the Red Sox youth fan group.

Jonathan's Appeal Court victory
Given the rancour that preceded the 2011 general elections, there is probably no Nigerian who would say the result of the April presidential election was 100 percent accurate. What was in dispute, as the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) angrily headed to court after the April 16 poll, was the degree of accuracy of the election returns, whether they were of such fidelity as to generally represent the wishes of the electorate. The five Appeal Court justices that handled the case unanimously concluded yesterday that the CPC case lacked merit. Jonathan's election as president, they said, was substantially in accordance with the Electoral Act. The judgment was expected, not because the people thought the justices would be biased, but because everyone knows that in spite of electoral malpractices in some parts of the country, the result generally reflected the wishes of the electorate.
One of the main legs of the CPC complaint was the sexed-up figures from the South-South and Southeast. Some analysts have defended the huge 73.67 percent turnout from the South-South and the equally substantial 63.40 percent turnout from the Southeast as realistic given the fact that the president is from the South-South and the Southeast hoped to earn the president's support in the presidential race of 2015. It is true that on closer scrutiny, the figures from both geo-political zones displayed a veneer of artificiality. However, even if the seemingly sexed-up figures were regressed to the national average of 53 percent turnout and the figures for the CPC presidential candidate were left untouched, Jonathan's lead would still remain unassailable. Given this arithmetical foundation – and the Appeal Court justices are themselves not novices – it is doubtful whether any court can be found, up to the Supreme Court, to overturn the Jonathan plurality.
A CPC spokesman has indicated that their party would appeal. This is a waste of time. The case against the CPC is so loaded that any further effort in the courts would be a sheer waste of resources. It is perhaps time to put the litigations behind us. The most pressing danger we face is not the accuracy or otherwise of the presidential election figures, as suspect as they seemed to be. What ail the country are the frightening vacuity of the Jonathan presidency and its abdication of the economy to Western orthodoxies. Not only is it now apparent that electing Jonathan was a pig in a poke bargain, his government appears poised to enact some of the toughest economic measures ever seen in these climes with only lip service and leisurely theories paid to safety nets. This is the looming danger that must be obviated in the coming months, and it is as well that the issue of legitimacy is finally done with.
Jonathan has the legitimacy he craves; he must now summon the will and the gumption to turn it into an advantage for the country. He needs to be both a democrat and a firm president. But he makes too many Freudian slips about democracy and suffers too many policy lapses on the economy to convince us about his bona fides. As for whether he has the firmness and will to turn things around, about the only gesture in that direction so far is the misdirected fury of his appointees, not the least among whom is the Police boss. To carry the country along, he must show empathy, convince us his prognoses are unimpeachable, and exhibit such fairness and justice that even his opponents would grudgingly admire his spunk and sagacity.
