This is a series of 20 cards with images of the Pennsyvania Turnpike, published, we believe, between 1940 and 1950.
These cards measure 2.5 by 4 inches, seem to be printed on a linen type of card, which seem to have been quite popular during this time frame. The cards will be presented in numberical order, we hold number 3048 to 3067.
These cards were found in the belongings of Man's mother after her death. We believe that Man's father purchased them when he drove the big rig trucks. We cannot, however, verify that.
On the reverse of this card we find:
MIDWAY STATION. One of the deluxe service stations on the Penna. Turnpike, midway between Harrisburg and Pittsburg, Pa. at Bedford Interchange.
On reverse side of card it reads:
A beauty view of Pennsylvania's Turnpike from the mountains between Sideling Hill, the longest tunnel, a mile and a quarter and Ray's Hill, the shortest tunnel under the mountains, between McConnellsburg and Everett, Pa. Here you pass the community of Burnt Cabins, so named because Wm. Penn ordered the cabins of the first settlers destroyed after Indians had complained that the Whites were violating a treaty by building them.
Card 3050
On the reverse it reads:
A view showing Clear Ridge Cut at Everett, Pa., 153 feet deep, the largest and deepest man-made cut in the United States, "Little Panama" required the removal of 1,350,000 cubic yards of earth. More than 700,000 pounds of explosives were used in blasting through this ridge.
Card 3051
On the back of the card we find:
One of the seven tunnels carrying the Turnpike beneath formidable mountains, six were inherited from the old rail project. The interior view of the Allegheny tunnel, near New Baltimore and the entrance to the Tuscarora is shown. Others at Laurel, Allegheny, Ray's Hill, Sideling Hill, Tuscarora, Kittatinny, Blue Mountain.
Card 3052
On the reverse side of this card we find:
Aerial view of the "Dream Highway" showing a 100 ft. high fill and the "Clear Ridge Cut". Largest cut in the Eastern part of the U.S. and known as Little Panama.
Card 3053
On the back of this card we find:
The Blue Mountain Interchange and one of the Twin Tunnels, the Blue Mountain.
Card 3054
On the reverse of this card we find:
The Greatest of all "Man Made Wonders" in this Twentieth Century is the Pennsylvania Turnpike, over whose surface tens of millions have travelled on business or pleasure since its opening to traffic October 1, 1940.
Card 3055
On the reverse side of this card:
There are 11 interchanges on the Pennsylvania Turnpike - - one at each end and nine at intermediate points. Each has an accelerating and decelerating lane which is adjacent and in addition to the regular highway lane.
Card 3056
The reverse side of this card states:
Setting the style for highways of the future Pennsylvania's new super Turnpike is a model that will be hard to improve upon. Its steepest grade is only 3%.
Card 3057
The back of this card reads:
The Pennsylvania Turnpike, five miles west of Bedford, crosses over the Lincoln Highway. The two land road looks antiquated. Some distance past the Bedford "interchange" the Turnpike crosses the Lincoln Highway again, runs past the ruins of the historic iron works at Everett, then crosses the Lincoln for the last time.
Card 3058
The reverse side of this card tells us:
A view on the 160 mile super highway at Bedford, Pa.
Card 3059
The reverse of this card tells us:
At night sodium vapor lights the tunnel approaches illuminating the roadway and portal buildings. Inside the tunnel mercury vapor lights are used, which produces a daylight effect forming a perfect contrast and silhouette the entrance to the tunnel.
Card 3060
On the back of this card we find:
Last word in tunnel lighting is accomplished by soft sodium lights at the entrances and non-glaring bluish-green mercury lights inside.
Card 3061
On the back of this card we learn:
This is the western terminus of the Turnpike, photo shows connection with U.S. Route #30 (Lincoln Highway).
Card 3062
The back of this card tells us:
The Turnpike, stretching 160 miles through the Appalachian Mountains between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, the highway has been so designed as to make it virtually "foolproof" - - no bad curves, no steep grades, no cross traffic. There are seven tunnels on the Route at Laurel Hill, Allegheny, Ray's Hill, Sideling, Tuscarora, Kittatinny and Blue Mountain.
Card 3063
The reverse side of this card tells us:
Beautiful scenery meets the motorist at every turn. Great mountain barriers between the Middle West and Atlantic Seaboard are overcome by seven tunnels, totaling 6 ½ miles in length.
Card 3064
On the back of this card we learn:
Although a speed limit of 70 miles per hour is permitted over most of the Turnpike, it is the safest of all high-speed highways. Not only is it the safest, but the smoothest and the most beautiful.
Card 3065
The back of the card tells us:
The Turnpike, stretching 160 miles through the Appalachian Mountains between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, the highway has been so designed as to make it virtually "foolproof" - - no bad curves, no steep grades, no cross traffic. There are seven tunnels on the Route at Laurel Hill, Allegheny, Ray's Hill, Sideling, Tuscarora, Kittatinny and Blue Mountain.
Card 3066
The back of the card says:
Cool, woodsy stretches abound along Pennsylvania's Dream Highway, which taps a region richly endowed with picturesque scenery.
Card 3067
On the reverse side of this card we learn:
For one hundred and sixty miles - - not a stop sign or traffic light - - not a cross road or street - - no grade over three percent on this modern super highway which, instead of climbing over tall peaks of the Alleghenies, dives through them in seven well ventilated, well illuminated tunnels.

Part 3 – Funding
Section 3A – Anticipated Sources of Contribution
HRSDC's funding programs generally encourage and/or require applicants to seek cash and/or in-kind contributions for their proposed project from other sources of funding. Each program has a "stacking limit", that is, a maximum permitted amount of combined funding from federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments for any one project or initiative. Contributions to the project cannot exceed 100% of eligible expenditures.
HRSDC uses the information provided in this section to verify that your funding request conforms to any stacking limit or requirement for funding from other sources.
"Other sources of funding" includes any source of funding (including from your organization) other than the program to which you are applying for funding.
Question 53 - Source Name
Please include the name of the organization that will contribute funds and/or in-kind contributions to this project. HRSDC should be listed as the first source name and any other sources listed below.
Question 54 - Source Type
Use the following list to identify the type of anticipated funding partner:
- Crown Corporation
- Federal Department or Agency
- Foreign Governments
- Not-for-Profit
- Private Sector
- Provincial/Territorial Government
- Regional or Municipal Government
- Sponsor/Organization/Recipient
- Union
- Other (please specify)
Question 55 - Cash
Please include the amount of funding that will be provided.
Question 56 - In-kind ($ value)
In-kind contributions are non-monetary goods or services that may be contributed to the project by your organization or other organizations or partners for which your organization will not be requesting re-imbursement. In-kind support may include donated equipment, services or facilities necessary for the proposed project that would otherwise have to be purchased.
To be considered valid, in-kind contributions should contribute to the success of the project, and their monetary equivalent estimated at fair market value.
Question 57 - Confirmed Cash and In-Kind
Cash and In-kind contributions should be committed to in writing by the contributing party. Please check (x) if this has been confirmed.
When applicable, and if possible, written confirmation of partner involvement should be submitted prior to signing a contribution agreement.
Section 3B – Project Budget
HRSDC uses the information provided in this section to assess the overall cost of the proposed project, as well as the general nature of the expenditures to be covered by all anticipated sources of funding.
Please find in Appendix B the Budget Detail Template* which must be included as part of the application.
Question 58 – Cost Categories
Please summarize your project budget according to the Budget Detail Template* attached in Appendix B.
Key elements to consider in determining the project budget are: contributions from other sources, duration of the project, occupations, prevailing wage rates and type of project activities. Please note that applicants must also detail monetary and/or in-kind contributions from other sources that reflect a commitment to the success of the project.
No costs are eligible as a contingency option. Costs must be foreseeable to be negotiated in the original agreement and will otherwise require a negotiation and amendment of the contribution agreement.
Costing Options for Skills Link
HRSDC/SC has developed an approach whereby applicants to Skills Link can choose one of two costing options. One of these costing options includes a flat percentage rate developed to represent actual costs of delivering a project and/or operating a business. Contribution recipients must keep receipts and supporting documents that support the expenditures under the flat rate as they could be subject to an audit; and if asked must supply this supporting documentation. The options available to applicants are:
- Departmental Flat Percentage Rate: a flat percentage rate that is offered by the department for Projects Costs (type 3C in the eligible costs listing) and, if applicable, Administrative Costs (type 1A). The rates offered by HRSDC/SC to applicants for Skills Link projects are:
- 4% for Project Costs (3C) - (4% of (Staff Wages (3A) plus Participant Costs (3B )); and
- 10% for Administrative Costs (1A) - (10% of (Staff Wages (3A) plus Participant Costs (3B) plus Project Costs (3C))); or
- Reimbursement of Actual Costs: reimbursement is based on actual expenditures incurred.
The applicant will select a costing option and submit an application based on that chosen method. The costing option cannot be changed over the course of an agreement.
Also, choosing a costing option using a flat percentage rate requires that a flat percentage rate be used for cost type 3C as well as, if relevant, type 1A costs. In other words, applicants cannot choose a flat percentage rate for cost type 1A and request reimbursement for actual costs incurred for cost type 3C.
The departmental flat rates can currently be applied for Skills Link (Project) agreements delivered by HRSDC/SC that include:

Costs can be based on historical data but they must also reflect current rates of similar costs in the geographical location of the project. Depending upon your organization's taxable status, you may be entitled to receive a portion of the GST paid on goods and services reimbursed by the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA). As such, it is important to declare your organization's GST reimbursement rate to HRSDC/SC on the submission of your application for funding so that HRSDC/SC does not reimburse a second time for the same cost. In your proposal, the budgeted amount of a cost item should include only the GST portion eligible to be claimed.
Contracting and Subcontracting
Clearly identify in your application any use of contribution funds that may result in a contract or subcontract of $25,000 or over. Contribution recipients must receive approval, in writing, from HRSDC/SC for all such contracts. Contribution recipients must also receive approval in writing for the subcontracting of any part of the project activities. All contracts and subcontracts of $25,000 and over must involve a competitive process including at least three bids, otherwise, a justification for sole-sourcing must be provided in writing to HRSDC and approved by the appropriate HRSDC/SC official. Please note that contracting and subcontracting with non-arms-length organizations is not permitted.
For all cost categories where travel costs are requested, applicants must indicate, in the Detailed Budget Description column, who in the project will require travel, the reason, the destination, the period, the transportation method (including tokens or commute transportation passes), the meals and the accommodation, if applicable. An approximation of the mileage required must be included, if applicable. Travel rates cannot exceed Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) rates.
Other Participant Costs
Financial assistance may be provided to individuals to cover all or a portion of living expenses. Assistance may also be provided to cover all or part of the incremental costs related to participation such as living expenses, disability-related supports and incremental costs, dependent care costs, transportation and accommodation costs. Provide a description of the type of assistance required and how many individuals it will benefit. Also indicate how it is related to the individual's participation in the project.
When completing questions 58-61 on the application please provide budget totals for categories 1, 2 and 3.
Any detail or additional information regarding the proposed budget that does not fit on the Budget Detail Template* (Appendix B) can be included in Question 64.
Question 59 – 61 – HRSDC/ Other - Cash/ Other - In-kind
Please provide the total planned expenditures.
Section 3C – Budget Details
Question 62 – Associated Businesses or Individuals.
Please check all statements that apply to your planned expenditures of HRSDC funding.
In carrying-out projects, contribution recipients may have to purchase various goods or services needed to perform the project from contractors. Some recipients may also contract-out with third-parties (i.e. outside providers) to perform part of the project activities and aid the contribution recipient to achieve the objectives of the project.
"Associated Businesses or Individuals" means:
- an officer, director or employee of your organization;
- a member of the immediate family of an officer, director or employee of your organization;
- a business in which an officer, director or employee of your Organization, or a member of their immediate family, has a financial interest; or,
- a business which is related to, or associated or affiliated with, your organization.
Question 63 - Capital Assets: Are capital assets among your planned expenditures with HRSDC funding? Please indicate Yes or No.
Explain how your project will benefit from the purchase of capital assets. A disposal plan for the capital assets should also be included.
A capital asset is any single or composite asset with a purchase value of more than $1,000 that is not physically incorporated into another product and that remains functional at the end of the project.
A composite asset is a collection of unique assets that form one identifiable functional unit, where all components are required for the asset to be functional. The collection of assets is treated as a single capital asset if the total cost of all individual items together is greater than $1,000 (before tax).
For example, a personal computer composed of a hard-drive, a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse and cabling is a composite capital asset. Four $300 chairs are not capital assets because each chair is functional on its own and, as single units, fall below the established threshold of $1,000 (before tax).
Capital Costs
Any asset with a purchase cost exceeding $1,000 (before tax) requires prior written approval from HRSDC, and must include a plan for disposal upon completion of the project. Also, it is a sound business practice to obtain more than one quote when purchasing capital assets.
Question 64 – Further Budget Details
Part 4 – Declaration
Please ensure that your application is signed by an official, authorized representative of your organization. People with signing authority are normally one or more of the executive members of the board of directors (president, vice president, secretary or treasurer) and employees of the organization (chief executive officer, executive director, chiefs of finance or human resources).
The Application for Funding must be signed in accordance with the organization's statutes, by-laws or other constituting documents. For example, the president and the chief financial officer may be required to sign all outgoing documents.

Hello 2009. Hello World. A ...
Posted Jan 07 2009 3:01pm
Hello 2009. Hello World.
A brief update on the current before I delve into the past...
I was supposed to go back to NYC today, but I am too sick, so I will be flying back wednesday.
I HATE laying around the house when I dont want to! I HATE staying home all day!
New Years Eve day was a beautiful mix of everything. I woke up in the morning and headed to the Krishna temple. I love the energy and community that exists there. The energy always makes my eyes water.
I met someone I hadnt seen in 6 years. I had a teacher in high school, who wasnt my teacher, but worked at the school. She was an AMAZING woman, who existed in a way that inspired me to want to be like her. She loved deeply, said what was on her mind, told her truth clearly, inspite of potential opposition and was just remarkable. She also gave rather amazing hugs.
She was the first teacher at the school who said out loud and clear that she was a lesbian, in school where we were based on diversity and she was respected for it.
She was the first adult that I came out to.
When I was living at the transition house, one day I wrote letters to all of the strong remarkable woman who I had encountered but lost along the way and she was one of them. I got an email back, but meeting up never worked. Years later, recently, we found eachother on facebook and have a lot in common. We both value vulnerability and are very spiritual people. She dances with 5 rhythyms and lives with a river coursing through her front yard. We have both changed a lot.
So we met up at the Krishna temple and laid on the grass and talked for 2 hours.
What a beautiful, full, whole woman!
She asked whatever happened after high school, what happened for me there, what became of my sexuality.
I told her my story as I now know it. She seemed a bit awed by the intensity of my journey. She mentioned that she didnt remember me as being heavy in high school. I was already well over 200 lbs, so I know I was. How interesting that she didnt remember me that way. She spoke of her first long term lover and how she was heavy and we both spoke about our appreciation of women who were atleast curvy or more well rounded.
It is true. I am more attracted to women with a little extra shape to them. I think bodies are sexy. We talked about feminism and weight and eating disorders a little bit.
She said something interesting about how having an eating disorder and being a feminist is only contradictory if you deny it, if you dont talk about it....
if you dont say that " yes, we starve ourselves, we throw up, we cut our bodies, we gorge ourselves on food. Yes. This is woman. It is not all woman, but it is one layer of woman.... welcome"
WOW. That felt really profound for me.
We talked about our lives... loves....
I talked about waking up to men in college and the fluidity of my sexuality. I realized in talking about it, how LITTLE I actually talk about it and in a way am almost dishonest about it in my lack of talking about it. Why is this? I have always been such an LGBT activist. Why dont I mention it?
I think that with regard to living in my truth, I am going to start questioning this and taking risks again with this. I will see what comes up, because I dont know WHY I dont talk about it much anymore.
I want to live my truth in it's wholeness.
We spoke about dancing, and vulnerability. About happiness and being happy. About old times! Embaressing old times... mostly hers... things she did as a teacher that she didnt remember... hysterical things like teaching about S&M during a women's studies sex ed class.
How we have all grown.
I said to her that as she was someone I always immensily respected and how good it feels to know that I have grown to embody some of the same things.
After that...
I left and went to my nutritionist... where I proceeded to flip out afterwards and put on PJ's and get into bed for awhile. I dont actually know WHY I flipped out other than some things were very triggering for me.
Then I spent the night with the girls I lived in the transition house with. We saw the Nixon movie, which was GREAT!
Then L and I went back to her apt and walked down to the beach just intime for midnight and 2009. We skipped, danced and felt the beauty of all that we were.
It was amazing!
I drove home and tried to sleep, but the Shakti from my Sangha's new years retreat wouldnt let me. I got up at the crack of dawn and drove up to Santa Barbara to meditate and welcome the new year. I drove two hours through the foggy dew... the ghosts of the past year leaving and when I walked into the room the energy was unspeakable. There was a 6 foot Shiva as part of the Puja... it was gorgeous!
We meditated all day and I got to catch up with E and got hugs from lot of people.
It was good to talk to my teacher as well. His energy was so healing and reinvigorating.
We read the gita together, which was cool.
I felt like I was cleansed in so many ways... which is perhaps why I am sick now... letting go of all the crap...
I drove back, hit a Jewish Deli and went to bed, to sleep better than in a long time.
I have been struggling a little bit with purging, on the topic of living in truth. Yeah. Welcome.
I am supposed to call a diatician in NYC... a specific one who is really good. Im scared frankly. I am scared shitless to have someone in my food again. I am so afraid I am overeating, which is why the purging is surfacing. Doing things from the past. I dont know.
In reality, I am here, this is my truth. Im going to speak it.
On another note, my mother just offered me a cookie and I turned it down. Why? Because I really didnt want it. COOL!
I am just trusting that amongst the chaos that has been my life with food, something in there is speaking, whispering and will get louder. As L said on new years as I was talking to her, I know and I have always known. I am most likely not overeating and am likely doing the exact right thing for me with food.
Im trying to trust.
I had most of my stitches out yesterday. Several of them popped again, so once again, I am left with open wounds. Okay. I can live that way. Metaphorically speaking, I have learned to live with open wounds, draining as opposed to attempting to keep mending something which will not mend.
So! Welcome 2009 and everybody in it. Welcome...
My resolution for all of you? May we ALL know our own beauty!

City Circus AthensAthens, Greece

Istanbul HostelIstanbul, Turkey
This place has an amazing location and great rooftop! Owners were friendly. Breakfast and bedroom was alright
Mini Hostel KievKiev, Ukraine
I walked in and out of this hostel and went and found a better one. No sign on the door, either outside or in, which is very unhelpful. Common area was a bleak kitchen. This place needs work!
Godzillas HostelMoscow, Russia
This place was pretty good. Offered nice local food. Good internet, nice bathroom and 2 good kitchens
Simple Hostel NevskySt Petersburg, Russia
This place is stylish, clean and very well run. Perfect location and great kitchen and common areas.
Moscow Home-HostelMoscow, Russia
Really didn't like this place. No atmosphere. Tidy bad bathrooms. Lockers than need to be rented. Too many live in guests. The staff were however friendly and helpful. Besides the staff and it's pretty good location, not a good choice
Apple Hostels of PhiladelphiaPhiladelphia, USA
All around good hostel!
Freehand Miami Hostel and HotelMiami, USA
This place is seriously impressive. Great vibe, great look and they have an awesome cocktail bar, pool and garden.

This place was super cool and cozy, with great staff!
Che Lagarto Hostel ColoniaColonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
Had no wifi in my room (first on the right). Staff were great! It's an alright place
Milhouse AvenueBuenos Aires, Argentina
One of those massive hostels, so perhaps not great for meeting people if you are traveling on your own. Offered all sorts of tours and activities. Amazing showers! Staff were nice. If only spending a few days in BA and doing the tourist sites - perfect location!
Hostel and Sleep-in Los AventurerosSanta Cruz, Bolivia
Shame it isn't more central! Good place though, they are working to creating a nice hostel - they clearly care.
7 Patas HostelSucre, Bolivia
Good place. Are checking around, definitely one of the better hostels in Sucre. Popular, so lots of people to socialize with
The Celtic CrossSucre, Bolivia

Hostal Los SalaresTupiza, Bolivia
The location of this hostel is bad! If you read it is close to the station, it's a good 10-15 mins walk to the other side of town. tupiza is a small place, a 10 min walk, in the wrong direction is a big thing. No lockers in the room so anyone could have just walked in and taken my stuff. No atmosphere and the common areas are rather cold. And the breakfast is stingy!
The Adventure Brew HostelLa Paz, Bolivia
Might have had the most clueless staff, both locals and traveling staff, I have ever come across. They weren't rude or anything, but just very stupid. This was a complaint from everyone I talked to who stayed there. Other than that, I think this is a great place. Good breakfast, atmosphere, great beds (lockers underneath/personal light/plug socket). So the owner set up a great place, he just needs to hire better staff!

1. Soak 24 10-inch wooden skewers in water to cover for 6 to 8 hours. (This helps prevent their burning on the grill.)
2. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Rinse the shrimp under cold water. Drain and pat dry. Toss shrimp in the marinade and let rest for 30 minutes.
4. Prepare hot coals for grilling or preheat the broiler.
5. Thread 16 skewers with 3 shrimp each and 8 skewers with 2 shrimp each. Grill or broil 4 inches from the heat source for 3 minutes per side, brushing once on each side with extra marinade.
6. To serve, place a lemon half in the bottom of 8 wine glasses, cut-side down. Into each lemon half, stick 2 skewers with 3 shrimp and 1 skewer with 2 shrimp, balancing them. Insert a rosemary sprig into each lemon half (using an extra skewer to jab a hole, if necessary). Serve the glasses atop small plates with a bowl of my Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise for dipping.

Recipe by DENVAL
"An excellent garlic dip that is easy to make with just a few ingredients. Serve warm with Italian bread, lettuce leaves, green pepper, celery, broccoli or cauliflower."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 1/2 cups
extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons
4 cloves
garlic, minced
2 tablespoons
heavy cream
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Totally in shock that thest ingredients come together and make this great dip. Thanks it was super delicious.
My family used to have bagna cauda frequently. The versions we had included a can of anchioves and then it was served like a fondue. On the side, serve napa cabbage, peppers, onion, etc. Put the veggies in the pot like you would a fondue and then serve them on italian bread. Don't forget the wine!
9 Ratings
I cut the recipe in half & added a couple of inch long squirts of anchovie paste. And I used a ligher flavored oil so it wouldn't taste so heavy. Served this w/ homemade italian bread, celery, baby carrots & bell peppers. The bell peppers meshed the best w/ this dip, I think.
it is great
missing MAIN INGR.....Anchovies. When adding the garlic, add 1 to 2 cans of anchovie fillets.
I made this for a wedding shower and it was terrible. I had several people try it before I served it, and they didn't like it either. We ended up having to run out to buy Ranch dressing to serve with all the vegies instead. Sorry, but this was a no-go.
awful. Too much olive oil. Not enough consistency for what I was looking for. Two thumbs way down.
Are the ingredient amounts accurate? I followed them carefully, but the dip was so thin and the olive oil so overpowering, we couldn't even taste the garlic and the cream was insignificant. The instructions make it appear there's a possibility the garlic could brown. How could that happen in 1 1/2 cups of oil?

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 4/25/12
MINNEAPOLIS The NBA lockout stole Derrick Williams' rookie season. There were a lot of ways he could have reclaimed it: better shooting, more attentive defense, even a vague hint of consistency. Williams is certainly to blame for at least part of his struggles this season, but there's no getting around what the lockout took from him. The second overall pick in the 2011 draft out of Arizona, the 6-foot-8 Williams generated excitement the minute he first put on that Minnesota Timberwolves baseball cap in Newark, N.J., on June 23. But just eight days later, the lockout began, preventing Williams from working with the Timberwolves during the summer, cutting his first season to 66 games, his first training camp to two weeks. Those are tough breaks, but they don't excuse Williams' inability to even once string together two consecutive 20-point games. In fact, he never had a streak of more than four double-digit scoring games on his way to averaging 8.9 points and 4.8 rebounds with one...

I have tried tweaking the registry.Changed all sorts of settings in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\Camera\Oem .Then video encoder property among other things.I cant seem to get 320x240 to work properly.Those over in Q9H forums seemed to have found a method.Now if q9h can do it,why can't a q9m? No matter what I try,I can't get a steady frame rate.It either records at 1 - 3 frames a second or it records a small 20 - 30 kb file that plays only 1 or 2 seconds worth then sits at a still frame.This is regardless of how long I record for.45 seconds......same........2 minutes....the same still.Maybe the Camera.dll file for the Q9H is different.Anyone with ideas or a fix?

Corona del Mar High School has palm trees, ocean breezes and a parking lot where students hustle out of shiny BMWs as they head to class.
One of the state's top-ranked schools, it has battled perceptions as a place where money and privilege sometimes run amok, a hypercompetitive milieu where expectations of academic achievement – and physical beauty – are extreme.
Recent controversies have not helped. Earlier this year, the Newport Beach school expelled 11 students accused in a cheating scheme, with one former official complaining that the students' comparative wealth appeared to affect who got punished.
Over the last few days, with preparations underway for the June prom, news leaked of a "tradition" in which senior boys host an NFL-style "draft" to pick desirable prom dates.
"I think it's insulting – it demeans girls," said Andrea Fine, who is active in the school's PTA and the mother of two students, a boy and a girl. "Among my circle of friends, we talk about it. We're kind of alarmed, [like] 'What's our school coming to?'"
Over the weekend, school principal Kathy Scott sent an email to parents bringing the draft to their attention and urging them to dissuade their kids from participating. "It is not OK for any student to be objectified or judged in any way," the letter said, adding that "this is not behavior that is consistent with our school's outstanding reputation."
Social media sites buzzed with the controversy, some decrying the prom draft as "creepy" and "sexist," though some Corona del Mar students have rallied to its defense. One girl, a junior, said she doesn't find the practice offensive and that most girls knew ahead of the draft who wanted to ask them to the prom.
"There's still a chance of us saying no," said the student, who is not being identified because of possible disciplinary action by the school district.
Before the message was taken down, a tweet from one male participant proclaimed: "Many drafters on the prowl tomorrow for #freeagents so dress nice ladies," the Orange County Register reported.
Students who said they are part of a group calling itself "the 2014 CdM Senior Prom Draft Committee" have sent anonymous emails to the press, claiming the draft "was planned and organized with only the best intentions in mind" and providing details about its logistics.
Forty senior boys assembled recently at a "private venue" clad in ceremonial sport coats to participate in the ritual, according to the emails. Numbers were plucked from a number-ball roller and issued to the boys, who took turns selecting girls. Each boy was put on the clock and given two minutes to make a selection.
"The picks were announced by the draft commissioner and were generally applauded," one email said. The ceremony "provides a solution for two guys who want to ask the same girl."
It is against the rules to pay for a higher draft pick, the email said, though some students say they have seen money exchanged under the table. In one case, during the separate junior prom draft, a student said, a boy paid $140 to increase his chances of asking out a specific girl.
The email said that, contrary to some reports, the female students were not ranked or rated.
Katrina Foley, a Newport-Mesa Unified School District trustee, reacted quickly to the news by calling for district-wide ethics training for all students.
"They probably believe it's not offensive or objectionable and that's part of the problem," Foley said. "A lot of this stuff comes back to wealth and being responsible with that wealth."
According to U.S. News and World Report, Corona del Mar ranks 37th in the state and 222nd in the country for academics, with 71% of its 2,440 students participating in Advanced Placement classes. The school is heavily white; minorities make up just 16% of the student body.
Some observers say the prom draft reflects a sense of entitlement among kids with money. Jane Garland, the school district's former head of discipline, said she saw a version of the phenomenon during the cheating scandal, when she felt pressure to go easy on kids whose parents donated heavily to the school.
"We were always told, 'They're high-profile, be careful,'" she said. "There is really a bad culture over there, and everyone knows it's there."
Irvina Kanarek, who graduated from nearby Newport Harbor High School in 2000, said she developed an eating disorder when she discovered she couldn't squeeze into her prom dress.

Company satellite spotted Salmon heading for airport, looks like he has a ticket to Texas in his pocket
Company satellite spotted Salmon heading for airport, looks like he has a ticket to Texas in his pocket
Is this speculation or actual news? I've not read nor heard anything about Salmon being recalled. If it's speculation or a wish, it should be stated as such, because I'll admit to being confused by the post, as well.
2006 Redzone mock Draftee's- 1(st) Daniel Bard(redsox), 1(st sup)( Jordan Walden (Angels), 2(nd) rd.- Zach Britton(Orioles), 3(rd) Blair Erickson(Cardinals), 3(rd) Tim Norton( Yankees),(cuz its a Tim Hortons thing
Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
Back to Cincy FOR the Texas series. The Bats were in Rochester NY
If he has a ticket to Cincinnati then Majic better have a ticket that says DFA.
How many days ago was Salmon sent out?
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
Hopefully Majewski doesn't have a plane ticket at all, but rather an open-ended Greyhound ticket. Take the bus to wherever he wants to go.

Good food and friendly servicePosted on 01 / 19 / 2012
The day I went, the set meal was soup, juice, a plate with a mix of brown rice, veggies, mock meat, beet salad, and fresh bean sprouts. Very good flavors and it was a filling, well-balanced meal. The dining room only has 4 tables but since I arrived just before 2pm, they weren't full. I think they were just about to stop serving, but they cheerfully got me a lunch. Very friendly people working there. The price was only 5000 pesos as of December 2011.

When the safari vehicle pulled up close to a pond in South Africa's Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, safari guests from Ivory Lodge, including us, reflexively covered noses and mouths to protect against the putrid smell of a rotting elephant carcass; but it didn't help much. The guide and tracker both calmly breathed in the obnoxious odor, while the rest of us tried not to gag.
Two male lions lounged near the dead elephant, alternating between gorging themselves and guarding their food source from the vultures that waited in the branches of nearby trees. The handsome lion in this photograph swished his tail to chase away a couple of persistent flies that buzzed near the majestic animal's eyes. Would he pose for us much longer?
How many more minutes would we have to photograph a lion up close? When your safari vehicle pulls up to an animal sighting, there's not a lot of time to change lenses. That's where a camera like the Panasonic Lumix comes in handy. On this day, I appreciated the 18X zooming capability (current models zoom to 24X). Look at those eyes!
Do you have tips for photographing wildlife? Post a comment to share them. A photography safari is one of our favorite boomer travel adventures.
