Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Prue McKeel's life is ordinary. At least until her baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows. And then things get really weird.
You see, on every map of Portland, Oregon, there is a big splotch of green on the edge of the city labeled "I.W." This stands for "Impassable Wilderness." No one's ever gone in — or at least returned to tell of it.
And this is where the crows take her brother.
So begins an adventure that will take Prue and her friend Curtis deep into the Impassable Wilderness. There they uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval, a world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much bigger as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness.
A wilderness the locals call Wildwood.
Wildwood is a spellbinding tale full of wonder, danger, and magic that juxtaposes the thrill of a secret world and modern city life. Original and fresh yet steeped in classic fantasy, this is a novel that could have only come from the imagination of Colin Meloy, celebrated for his inventive and fantastic storytelling as the lead singer of the Decemberists. With dozens of intricate and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Carson Ellis, Wildwood is truly a new classic for the twenty-first century.
"Meloy, the lead singer of the band the Decemberists, delves into middle-grade fiction with a story that pairs classic adventure novel tropes with cool, disaffected prose. The book opens as 12-year-old Prue McKeel loses her baby brother to a murder of crows, and sets off to rescue him from the Impassable Wilderness, a strange country alongside Portland, Ore., (where the actual Forest Park lies). Her classmate Curtis tags along, and the two are soon separated. Prue takes refuge with the postmaster in his delivery van, while Curtis is captured, then suddenly made an officer in an army of talking coyotes led by the beautiful and intimidating Dowager Governess. It becomes apparent that Prue and Curtis have landed on opposite sides in a war — and neither side may be right. Without a good side to cheer for (disappointments and betrayals abound), the story lacks a strong emotional center, and its preoccupations with bureaucracy, protocol, and gray-shaded moral dilemmas, coupled with the book's length, make this slow going. Ellis's spot art, not all seen by PW, is characteristically crisp and formal, further lending the story a detached quality. Ages 8 — 12. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Wildwood is a beautiful object and a beautiful read. One half fairy tale, one half coming of age story, one half unrepentantly gorgeous work of art, this book is overflowing with gifts." Jonathan Safran Foer
"Dark and whimsical, with a true and uncanny sense of otherworldliness, Wildwood is the heir to a great tradition of stories of wild childhood adventure. It snatched me up and carried me off into a world I didn't want to leave." Michael Chabon
"A satisfying blend of fantasy, adventure story, eco-fable and political satire with broad appeal; especially recommended for preteen boys." Kirkus Reviews
"This book is like the wild, strange forest it describes. It is full of suspense and danger and frightening things the world has never seen, and once I stepped inside I never wanted to leave." Lemony Snicket
"Wildwood is an irresistible, atmospheric adventure — richly imagined and richly rewarding." Trenton Lee Stewart, New York Times bestselling author of The Mysterious Benedict Society
"Meloy has an immediately recognizable verbal style and creates a fully realized fantasy world....Ellis's illustrations perfectly capture the original world and contribute to the feel of an instant timeless classic. Further adventures in Wildwood cannot come quickly enough." School Library Journal (starred review)
About the Author
Colin Meloy once wrote Ray Bradbury a letter, informing him that he "considered himself an author too." He was ten. Since then, Colin has gone on to be the singer and songwriter for the band the Decemberists, where he channels all of his weird ideas into weird songs. This is his first time channeling those ideas into a novel.
As a kid, Carson Ellis loved exploring the woods, drawing, and nursing wounded animals back to health. As an adult, little has changed — except she is now the acclaimed illustrator of several books for children, including Lemony Snicket's The Composer Is Dead, Dillweed's Revenge by Florence Parry Heide, and The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart.
Colin and Carson live with their son, Hank, in Portland, Oregon, quite near the Impassable Wilderness.

Tuvalu consists of nine small islands scattered over 500,000 sq mi of the western Pacific, just south of the equator. The islands include Niulakita, Nukulaelae, Funafuti, Nukufetau, Vaitupu, Nui, Niutao, Nanumaga (Nanumanga), and Nanumea.
Constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy.
Formerly the Ellice Islands, Tuvalu's first Polynesian settlers were probably Samoans or Tongans. The Ellice Islands became a British protectorate in 1892 and were annexed by Britain in 1915–1916 as part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony. The Ellice Islands were separated from the Gilberts in 1975, given home rule, and renamed Tuvalu. Full independence was granted on Sept. 30, 1978, but Tuvalu remained part of the Commonwealth. In 1979, the U.S. gave Tuvalu four islands that had been U.S. territory.
In 1997, the government adopted a strong stance on the need to control emissions of greenhouse gases in order to ensure the survival of low-lying island nations, which are threatened by rising sea levels—Tuvalu's highest point is just 16 ft above sea level. In 2000, Tuvalu became a member of the United Nations. Tuvalu reportedly makes millions of dollars each year by leasing its highly marketable .tv Internet domain.
One of the Smallest Countries Gets Smaller
Tuvalu, one of the smallest countries in the world, has gotten smaller, according to scientists. Already just about a third of the size of Manhattan, with less than 12,000 people inhabiting it, Tuvalu's lowest point was just above sea level in 2012.
The National Research Council in the United States predicted that by 2100 global sea levels would rise 55 inches due to climate change. If that prediction holds true, the rising sea levels could damage the country's coral roots and wipe out Tuvalu altogether. By 2012, there was already coastal erosion, a result of the rising sea level, excavation for construction, and extreme weather.
Sopoaga Becomes Prime Minister
On August 5, 2013, Enele Sopoaga was sworn in as the twelfth prime minister of Tuvalu. Sopoaga had been the leader of the opposition to former Prime Minister Willy Telavi. When Telavi was removed by Governor General Iakoba Italeli, Sopoaga became caretaker prime minister.
Earlier in the summer of 2013, Telvai had been removed as prime minister over allegations that he had attempted to break the country's constitution by planning to replace Governor General Italeli. After placed in the role as an interim prime minister, Sopoaga later won a vote to take over as prime minster.

- Enterprise & Industry magazine.
A dynamic European standardisation system is essential in order to drive quality and innovation and to strengthen Europe's role as a global economic player. E&I magazine's main feature examines a package of proposals put forward by the European Commission in order to make European standards more responsive to changing circumstances and better able to support Europe's global competitiveness.
Issue 11 also looks at tools specifically aimed at giving Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) greater access to loans and equity finance: these financial instruments, funded under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme, have already a strong track record of success.
The promotion of a Euro-Med area of shared prosperity - with a special focus on entrepreneurship and small business – is also featured. This new partnership seeks to promote inclusive economic development in the southern Mediterranean.
Other articles highlight the new space policy the European Commission is developing to ensure continued success to this strategically important sector, and the role security-related research plays in protecting European citizens. Furthermore, this issue contains features on projects in the field of resource efficiency, the launch of the Social Innovation Europe Initiative and the practical support the Enterprise Europe Network gives to women entrepreneurs.

Hot off the YouTube. Fantastic, simple activism from Brazil. The stencil reads, simply, "Bike - not as dirty".
348 hits on YouTube as I write this. Let's make this viral.
Thanks to Henrik for the link.
Check this out:
Congrats for your blog!
This is such a powerful metaphor... it's really hard to get people to comprehend the power of taking something away. Love it.
That's wonderful! What a smart yet cute way to make biking obvious. So cool.
Hmmm...great sentiment, but speaking as someone with kids who like to draw in the dust on the back of our car, rubbing off dirt like this without using water does scratch paintwork. If someone did this to my car and left permanent scratches, or even something requiring polishing, I'd be rightly pissed. So 10/10 for trying, but the execution is highly likely to backfire and engender bike-hate from the owners of these cars. Almost zero chance of converting people IMHO. (And before I get bike-Nazi'd, we hardly use our car at all (maybe once a fortnight) and own 7 bikes which get used every single day).
Mike, are you serious? You need to speak to your car manufactory to improve their paint work and many of the stencils were on glass, the dustiest and easiest place to draw. As soon as I find the best stencil(was it cardboard?) I am making one, and my car will be first.
awesome idea! shall we do this in Copenhagen too? :)
Soooo Coool!
Easy to duplicate - go ahead!
It's over 11,000 now.
"I'd be pissed" is probably that way rather often.

At AutoSport, we want to be your comprehensive one-stop shopping spot for automotive accessories like floor mats, car covers, seat covers, and car care items. We're a dealer for well-known bike carrier brands like Thule and Yakima, as well as air filters from K&N, accessories from WeatherTech, and car covers from Covercraft. We are custom-fit auto accessories experts, and we carry a full line of automotive accessories for your car, truck, Jeep or SUV!
It's amazing how much a set of custom-fit floor mats can improve the looks and comfort of a vehicle with a worn, shabby interior, or how much more inviting they can make a utilitarian truck interior feel. If you've got a later model vehicle that you want keep looking good for a long time, floor mats are an absolute must to keep the carpeting from getting worn and dirty from everyday wear and tear. We carry a wide selection of floor mats in various materials, styles, and sizes, and we're sure we've got one that's a good fit for your car, truck, Jeep, or SUV! And when you buy floor mats from AutoSport, you have the peace of mind of knowing that they are not only going to be a good fit, they are also covered by a lifetime guarantee!
If you're short on garage space and have a car that sits outside most of the time (or a car that's in long-term storage), you need to protect it from the elements as much as possible. Rain, snow and hail (and tree sap and pollen) will weather a car's exterior badly, and sunlight will fade and crack things like dashboards and carpets as well as deteriorating rubber seals and weatherstripping. We carry a number of different styles and materials of car covers, including indoor-only car covers to protect and preserve vintage or classic vehicles that don't often see the light of day. Car covers from Covercraft and other top brands can be a great investment to keep that will keep your car looking great for years to come!
Like floor mats, seat covers are one of those things that can do wonders for an older vehicle, and they're a necessity for keeping a newer vehicle's seats looking good. Whether you've got a pickup with a bench seat, an SUV with high-back bucket, a sedan, coupe or sports car, we've got seat covers that will be a great fit and exact match. Choose from fabrics ranging from ballistic nylon to neoprene, genuine leather, microfiber and soft, inviting sheepskin. We even have instant seat covers that you can quickly put down to protect your seats on a run home from the beach!
What are the three things you need to keep an internal-combustion engine running? Air, fuel, and spark, right? Optimize your spark and fuel and you've got better power and performance…optimize the air flow through the engine's intake, and you not only enhance performance, but you will realize better fuel economy, too. For decades now, Spectre has been working on filter technology for cars and trucks. Their air filters use up-to-date synthetic elements that can trap the tiniest particles, but still allow minimal restriction of air flow through the filter and intake. Their filters are also designed to be easily cleaned and lubricated with a special oil, meaning a lifetime of service. Spectre also offers complete cold-air induction and intake systems for cars and trucks, custom-designed for a precise OEM-style fit. And one of the best things about any air filter system is that it's one of the easiest ways to get true bolt-on performance, improving power and fuel economy at low cost with easy installation!
From their headquarters in suburban Chicago, WeatherTech has been developing and offering ingenious, innovative products for cars and trucks for decades now. Things like stone and bug deflectors for pickups, cargo liners for SUV's, wind deflectors for windows and sunroofs and all-weather floor mats are among WeatherTech's offerings, and all their products are covered by a ten-year warranty!

Recap: Sandy Alderson's conference call about today's trade
Sandy Alderson talked with reporters after the trade was completed, and basically said:
The offers he made to Dickey to extend his contract were 'genuine,' and had Dickey accepted any of them he would still be on the Mets. In the meantime, the price for pitching escalated, and the demand for Dickey increased, and eventually the trade offer from the Blue Jays outweighed what Alderson expected to get from Dickey over the next two or three seasons. "We do expect Travis D'Arnaud is very close to the major leagues. And if he doesn't make it out of spring training, we would expect to see him at some point very soon thereafter, probably in 2013." "We do expect to acquire some other players. We recognize we have holes to fill … but we will address those. We certainly are not punting on 2013." The team's popularity and ticket sales will be based on wins and losses, not individuals.

To read a full transcript,
Sandy's opening
"Just a couple of quick, preliminary thoughts: First of all, I want to apologize for all of the members of the media for not being available for communication over the last several days. But, as you can imagine, this was a delicate process, and continued to be right up until the deal was approved by Major League Baseball. As a consequence, the less communication, the better.
Secondly, I want to express my thanks and the thanks of the entire organization to R.A. Dickey. It was an extraordinary privilege for us to be a part of his career over the last three years – in my case, the last two. And, the final chapter has not been written. But it has been an extraordinary career arcing from disappointment to jubilation with the Cy Young Award. We all appreciate what he's done for us. We will all be following him closely as a Blue Jay and rooting him to further success. R.A. has been great throughout this process. We had a chance to talk about an hour ago. As I said, it's been a real honor to be associated with him.
As far as the players we've acquired, we are very happy to have the four players we did acquire. This was a complicated deal, but we're certainly happy with the value. Lastly, I want to say thank you to Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas, both of whom will be departing the Mets organization. They have been great teammates and parts of the organization for a long period of time.
If R.A. accepted the team's proposal, and they had this package available to them, is it fair to say the package would have been more attractive?
"I think that's very difficult to say. One of the reasons the negotiations were prolonged is that we began to see forces of supply and demand at work, frankly. On the one hand, we saw the value of starting pitching go up in terms of compensation. At the same time, we saw the supply start to go down in terms of availability. Because we were proceeding on two tracks, at some point, we had to wait and see what the value might be.
But if you go back to the very beginning, we stated it was our desire to re-sign R.A.. It was. That was our preference. I think if we had gotten to the point where he would have agreed to our number, he would have signed, and in the absence of the discussion about a possible trade, I don't think we would have felt comfortable about a trade after he agreed. He understood where the market was, we understood where the market was going. At that point, we understood and he understood we had to find out what his value might be in the market."
Did he delay making his best offer, or did he not make his best offer because he wanted to see what was available?
"I'd prefer not to comment on the way the actual negotiations actually proceeded specifically. We got to the point before the Winter Meetings where we thought there would be significant interest in R.A.. We felt that it was important to at least pursue that to see where it might take us. But otherwise, I really can't comment on the discussions we had with R.A. and his agent."
What does he see in 2013, and the work he has to do for that team?
"Number one, we have made this trade and we feel that a number of the players we've acquired – John Buck, certainly, and probably Travis d'Arnaud – will make contributions in 2013. We can't quantify those at the moment, but we do have expectations about that.
In addition, there's a lot of time between now and when we report to Spring Training. So we do expect to do some other things. We do expect to acquire some other players. We recognize we have some holes to fill, we may have created a hole in our rotation that we need to address. But we will address those – we certainly are not punting on 2013."
Was this trade a financial wash, and there is still money to spend?
"Yeah. If you look at R.A.'s salary going to Toronto, we took Buck back. They acquired Josh Thole. There's a little bit of a wash. perhaps there's some money we've added that would be disposable on our part. We have much of the same flexibility now that we had before the trade. We've filled a catching spot – or at least substituted it somewhat in. And we've created another spot. But we still have some payroll flexibility, yes."
The genesis of the talks with Toronto, when did it get serious, when were the players agreed upon.
"Toronto expressed an interest very early on – well before the WInter Meetings. Perhaps a week or so before the Winter Meetings, and expressed an interest in perhaps doing something before the Winter Meetings took place. That did not eventuate. But, there were several discussions before the Winter Meetings, there were continuing discussions at the Winter Meetings as there were with other teams who had an interest in R.A.. Then they picked up again after the Winter Meetings. I would say the players, probably Tuesday or Wednesday, that the final structure of the deal was put in place. There were some medical issues that had to be addressed, and obviously the window had to be put in place. I would say the players were probably finalized in the middle of last week."
At what point did he decide R.A. would definitely be traded? Was it at that point Toronto was the destination, or were their other teams in play?
"As is often the case, teams will drop in and drop out of these conversations. And so there were several teams that had expressed interest at the Winter Meetings. There were a couple that continued to express interest after the Winter Meetings. There was at least one club that expressed new interest after the Winter Meetings. Those conversations went back and forth, and teams popped up and disappeared. Toronto, though, was steady in their interest. I would say the decision to trade R.A. was not made until we understood what the final deal would be with Toronto. Before that time, we made it clear we had other options. Not to Toronto but to other clubs. One of those options was for R.A. to return to New York. So, we didn't commit to make the trade until we were absolutely satisfied the return would warrant a trade."
Is it likely D'Arnaud will start in AAA because of his injury/MLB mechanics of Super Two and delaying FA?
"I talked to Travis a little bit earlier today. I told him he would come to camp and would see what happened. We have a very capable catcher in John Buck. John and Travis actually know each other, I believe, from Travis' first Major League camp with Toronto. So, we will just have to wait and see. But you point out the injury factor. Certainly having not played through the second half of last season, without having played Winter Ball, everything will be predicated on how he performs in Spring Training. We will just have to see how that goes. At the same time, we do expect Travis is very close to the Major Leagues. If he doesn't make it out of Spring Training, we expect to see him very soon after, probably in 2013."
Did d'Arnaud have surgery on his PCL?
"The typical procedure with a PCL tear is to not do surgery. The standard response is to leave it alone and do rehab, which is what he did. There was no surgical repair. Surgery is not indicated for a PCL tear. … We reviewed his medical records, we also had conversations with his rehab therapist, and he was ultimately examined by our physicians."
On a difference maker: Is Travis that guy, and why did you want Syndergaard?
"We view d'Arnoud – and I believe the industry views Travis – as the top catching prospect in the game. Not just the top catching prospect, but the one closest to Major League ready, if not Major League ready. In addition, we think his upside is such we think he can be a significant player for us over the next many years. So understand he is only a prospect, understand he has not done anything at the Major League level. But, given his ceiling, given his position, and given what we think he can do not just in the long-term for the Mets but near-term, medium-term, we think he can be a difference maker. And, certainly I did say that on more than one occasion that that's what we had to get back in the trade. I think he constitutes that possibility.
Noah is a very high-ceiling power pitcher. He's further away, obviously just having pitched in Low-A last year. But, we believe he's got tremendous upside potential. And, in terms of his arrival, while we don't expect he will arrive at the Major League level at the same time or soon after Travis, we think that when he does arrive, he can have a very high ceiling. So, again a prospect, and not somebody who has pitched in the big leagues. But among prospects very highly valued and a tremendous asset going forward."
You said you wanted to re-sign A and that was preference. His new deal with TOR was in-line and a bargain. Why did you not sign him, and does this say anything about the finances of the team?
"This means nothing about the Mets' finances, Tyler. This was a baseball decision. At some point, the lines crossed. We did prefer to sign him at the outset. We felt we could sign him. I still felt confident we could sign him as we got into the WInter Meetings. But it also became clear, against the backdrop of a very hot market for pitching, that his value and a possible trade was also skyrocketing. And so, at some point, as I said, those lines crossed. His value in trade to us exceeded our ability to keep him here over a one, or possibly two or three year period. So, this didn't have anything to do with finances, or anything else related to R.A. or R.A.'s conduct or anything of that sort. He, as far as I'm concerned, conducted himself exceptionally well throughout this process. There's always going to be hiccups that occur on one side or another. And yet, that had nothing do with our ultimate decision. It was about our future, and our ability to acquire some players in areas where we had a real need.
If you look at our system, we are exceptionally deep in pitching. We were strong at the Major League level in starting pitching. I think it was understood – certainly by us -that if we were going to improve in other areas of the club – whether it was behind the plate or in the outfield – we would probably have to acquire that through trade. Were we not able to get the quality in return, the lines wouldn't have crossed, and I expect R.A. would've remained a Met."
Was there ever an offer he could've said yes to which would have kept him a Met?
"There were several made that he could have accepted, yes."
The challenges of replacing R.A. in terms of W/L, and someone who was the most popular player last year?
"As I said earlier, we have to decide on that fifth starter, number one starter, number two starter – whatever R.A. represented. Based on his performance, he probably represented a number one. We are not going to replace him with a number one starter in return. But we are going to have to find someone who can give us some of those wins. We also have to hope the team improves in other areas to offset R.A.'s loss. That's what we are going to make every effort to do.
R.A. was a very popular player. I'm sure he would have been very popular next year here. I'm sure he'll be very popular in Toronto. And, for good reason. On the other hand, our popularity as a team, our popularity among fans, and our attendance will be a function of winning and losing, and winning and losing consistently over time. And so those are the kinds of things we have to take into account. We want the team to be popular because it's successful. I'm hopeful that in the coming years our overall popularity will be more of a function of our success than individuals.
But look, I recognize this is an entertainment business. It was great to have R.A. here. And yet, we felt that in the best interest of the organization, and the long-term popularity of the team that this was the right thing to do."
On a new starter: Young, Capuano – someone who could go to the pen, or someone who is locked into the rotation. On catching, what are you looking for?
"First, with regard to the starting pitching, I would expect we will acquire someone who is not necessarily a swing man, but somebody to whom we will have to commit a starting role. It's possible we will end up with someone who can swing, but if we are to get anyone with any basic quality, we will probably have to commit. And actually that's one of our attractions. We now have a starting pitching opening and we can attract the type of pitcher we hope can get us ten or 12 wins. The other thing, of course, is we will have to have some depth. Just having Jenrry Mejia or someone else fill in doesn't mean we will have the sufficient depth to get us through the season. That's something we experienced last year when we lost so much starting pitching in the middle of July. We don't expect to duplicate R.A. Dickey – that's not going to happen. But, at the same time, we will be looking for somebody who is looking for a good opportunity, but somebody with some upside.
As far as the catching is concerned, we have Buck, we have d'Arnaud, we have Recker. My guess is we are going to go out and find some additional catching because, if nothing else, we are going to need some depth at Triple-A."
Outfielders, and bullpen?
"I expect we will be – we have been addressing the outfield situation. We've been talking to other clubs and talking to free agents. The same is true with the bullpen. Our discussion with catchers have been on hold for the last four or five deals, pending this deal. Of course, we couldn't really talk to a starting pitcher about a possible role for us until this was resolved as well. But look, as I said, there's a long time between now and the beginning of February, and there are still some good players on the board."

The Optura 10 offers the versatility to meet every exposure challenge, as well as amazing ease of use, when you'd like to let the camera make all the choices. Amazingly sophisticated circuitry delivers proper exposure automatically under almost any lighting condition. But you also can easily adjust the exposure in any one of several creative ways to meet your specific need. Selecting a different exposure mode lets you control how you want the video to look.
Easy Recording
Easy Recording is designed for the times when all you want to do is point and shoot. The camera's sophisticated control system automatically handles proper exposure and focus, simply leaving you to zoom. This means you don't have to worry about anything except being there to capture the moment on video. This is also handy when you want to get into the video; just pass the camera over to someone else and be assured they'll get great video (they can't change the settings). If a family member has never handled a camcorder before, you can assure them everything is under control.
Auto Mode gives control of camera settings to the camcorder, except for those functions you would like to control manually, including focus, exposure, and white balance. This is Easy Recording with options. So if you want to let things run automatically, no problem. But if something should arise, you can easily make adjustments. For example, you suddenly see a child peering through a picket fence; the autofocusing system may have a bit of difficulty but you can easily adjust the focus for a perfect picture.
In Sports Mode, the camcorder automatically selects high shutter speeds to help freeze the action. The camera's sophisticated electronics take care of ensuring proper exposure with automatic adjustment of the aperture. Capture the swing of a golf club, baseball bat or tennis racket - crystal clear - when using Sports Mode.
When making videos of people, you may find yourself having to shoot against a "busy" background (trees, bushes, buildings, etc.) Portrait mode automatically selects larger lens aperture settings which throws the background out of focus - putting the accent back on your subject.
When confronted by a large expanse of darkness and a small area of brightness, some exposure systems will automatically try to overcome the darkness. This makes the bright area overexposed. Now imagine a singer spotlighted on a stage. What is your camcorder going to do? With Canon's Spotlight Mode, the answer is simple: deliver a properly-exposed singer. The camera automatically exposes for the subject in the center of the frame -- in the spotlight -- leaving the larger, dark area as it should be: dark. This prevents the subject from showing up overexposed or blooming against a dark background.
Low Light
Low Light Mode is Canon's way of letting you continue to record even when light levels begin to fall. Low Light Mode selects lower shutter speeds to deliver proper exposure. For example, when the backyard barbecue continues into the twilight hours, there's no need to put the camcorder away. Just switch to Low Light Mode. The same applies indoors. Some exposure systems have problems with rooms that aren't well illuminated. Low Light Mode to the rescue. All that's required is a little more care in holding the camera steady.
Color Night Mode
Just because it's night doesn't mean you have to put your camera to bed. The Optura 10's Color Night Shooting mode lets you keep recording - even under the most challenging of lighting conditions. This means your camera picks the right sensitivity and shutter speed needed to maintain a bright image -- without sacrificing color. As the light dims, your images remain brilliant. If the lighting conditions change, the camcorder automatically compensates so you continue shooting without skipping a beat.
Super Night Mode and Low Light Plus Mode
With the Optura 10, you can keep shooting long after the sun goes down. With Super Night Shooting (in Camera mode) and Low Light Plus (in Card Camera), an assist lamp lights your subject and lets you continue even under low light conditions. The assist lamp also helps supplement existing light when you need it and can be used with the Red Eye reduction lamp when shooting digital photos.

Obama is in the lead
Is McCain gaining speed?
The underdog, he won't throw in the towel
While Obama gets endorsed by Colin Powell
Barack the front runner
McCain has the nod of Joe the Plumber
A man with no license who owes back taxes
McCain pushing in Pennsylvania to attract backers
Obama is in the cradle of steel
In Pittsburgh trying to close the deal
Obama turning red to blue
He's redrawing the map
Could Virginia really have his back?
Barack the redistributor says McCain
Not supporting job growth and the American Dream
11th hour distractions says Obama's team
The race in Ohio is closely contested
In this state Obama might fail
Because of the fast falling support of white males
Maxed out moms unsure of Obama because he's young
And some because they fear that he's Muslim
They see themselves in Palin
But some see her views failing
From global warming to abortion
While these moms struggle to hold on and keep housing
RNC goes clothes shopping, dropping $150,000
In an economic crisis people reaching for the life line
Obama makes his closing arguments in big budget prime time
If Obama wins and gets the inauguration
Charles Barkley says he's going on vacation
Why? The White House has a new resident
Who? The first ever black president
Or will it be the oldest president it's still a mystery
With Sarah Palin ready to make history
And where's Biden been hiding?
Close to a teleprompter because of rhetorical flourishes he's been providing
Were less then a week away
What challenges we will face on Election Day?
Late mailings leaving voters lost
Provisional ballots that often go uncounted
Untrained poll workers, what ID do you bring?
Will voters get dissed?
Phony fliers in Virginia saying democrats vote on the fifth
While ACORN comes under heat
Who will lead us, who will take the seat?
Will it be victory in Iraq?
Or will our soldiers really come back?
Will there be health care for all?
Or will tax credits be too small?
The country holds its breath, from right to left
Will it be a democratic landslide? Or dead even?
Or will the the Republicans fall from grace like Ted Stevans.
Or will we see the ghost of the Bradley Effect?
Change is on the way
Red to blue, blue to red
What's ahead?

Live Blog: Jenny Scheinman at the Village Vanguard 10.29.08
October 29, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: cohesive unit, concerts, drums, greg cohen, jason moran, jenny scheinman, Live Music Blogging, npr, quartet, royston, rudy, village vanguard, wbgo, yesterday afternoon
Jenny Scheinman is celebrating the release of her album, Crossing the Field, with a quartet tonight - Jason Moran at the piano, Greg Cohen on bass, and Rudy Royston on drums. The band rehearsed for two hours yesterday afternoon, then played two sets for opening night. So expect a fairly cohesive unit for tonight's show.
Jenny is setting up onstage. Getting ready for a nice show.
Jenny Scheinman opens with "American Dipper" - male version - from an earlier recording, Shalagaster.
American Dipper is North America's only truly aquatic songbird.
Jenny calls "Albert," and she calls saxophonist Albert Ayler a great melodicist. I can hear that.
Band segues into "Through the Dark." Greg Cohen is the go-to guy in this band.
"That's Delight," from the new album, Crossing the Field.
"The Frog" could be a cool pop tune. I love the way this song evolves. And Greg Cohen is such an outstanding bassist. Such a complete musician.
This beautiful ballad called "Sleeping in the Aquifer." Nice imagery.
After playing a new original, "Bray," Scheinman launches into "Hard Sole Shoe," from the new recording. After a piano intro from Jason Moran, the groove is in the house.
We end the set with "Born Into This." Autobiographical, Ms. Scheinman???

If you had to plan for retirement all over again…
For the most part there are no do-overs in life. And the same is true for retirement planning. More often than not we get only one whack at it. That's not to say, however, that there aren't lessons to be learned from those who have gone before us.
That's what we set out to do today. We asked current retirees what they would do differently if they had the chance to plan for retirement all over again, if they had a chance to do a do-over.
Not surprisingly, they said plenty that those who are saving for retirement might consider.
Don't forget about the tax man
Jim Bailey, who retired from C.R. Bard in 2010 and now spends his time golfing, boating and telling jokes, wishes he had spoken to a tax adviser before retiring.
"My company, as may well others, paid out stock upon retirement—a portion upon retirement and another portion six months after retirement," said Bailey. "Both were sizable amounts. I regret not looking into the tax implications of taking them both in the same year."
According to Bailey, upon reflection and had he the chance to do it all over again, said he could have delayed retirement a couple of months and taken the first portion in, say, October, and taken the second portion in the next year. "This would have saved me a considerable amount in taxes," said Bailey, who faulted the company for not telling him about alternatives but does accept responsibility for what happened.
"Ultimately I should have consulted a tax adviser in the first place," he said.
By way of background the IRS has several publications and forms for those who might have what's called net unrealized appreciation or NUA. Read Publication 575 (2012), Pension and Annuity Income; Publication 17 (2012), Your Federal Income Tax; Form 4972 - Internal Revenue Service; and Tax Topics - Topic 412 Lump-Sum Distributions. Read also Employer stock, your 401(k) and the NUA.
Don't leave money on the table
Barry Freedman, a well-known financial planner sold his practice to his son several years ago and, in addition, he sold his primary residence and moved from New England to Florida. In hindsight, he said he would do two things differently. He would have opted for a higher valuation for the practice, or stayed more involved in the practice or some other part of the profession. Plus, he would have kept his home in New England.
Those quibbles aside, Freedman reports that life is good. "My health is fine and my golf handicap is getting lower each month," he said.
Besides golf, Freedman reports that he's staying busy serving as president of the 440-door community association in which he and his wife now "It's a thankless job that requires a very thick skin," he joked.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Policy
The Drug Free Schools and Communities Amendments of 1989 require Saint Louis University to certify that it has adopted and implemented a drug and alcohol abuse prevention program as a condition of receiving federal funds and financial assistance. As a Catholic, Jesuit Institution dedicated to the search for truth through education, and improving the temporal and spiritual well-being of all persons, Saint Louis University has had a long-standing policy of promoting a campus environment free from drug and alcohol abuse. In accordance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 and Saint Louis University's Catholic, Jesuit mission, this policy restates the University's commitment to maintaining an environment which is free of impairment and conducive to the physical, emotional, and psychological, and spiritual development of all persons.
This policy applies to all students taking courses for academic credit at Saint Louis University, including students enrolled at the Frost Campus, Medical Center Campus, Parks College, Saint Louis University at Madrid and academic programs located overseas.
For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions will be applied:
- The term "Illicit drugs" includes any controlled substance listed in the Schedule 1-V of Section 202 of the Federal Controlled Substance Act and those listed under Illinois, Missouri or other applicable laws.
- The term "University" includes Saint Louis University and Saint Louis University at Madrid.
- The term "University premises" includes all land, facilities, and other property in the possession of or owned, used or controlled by the University (including adjacent streets and sidewalks.
- The term "University activities" includes academic programs affiliated with the University or in which students have matriculated for academic credit at Saint Louis University, including study-abroad programs overseas, and any on-campus or off-campus event or function conducted, approved, sponsored or funded, in whole or in part, by the University or any officially recognized student organization.
Saint Louis University prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, sale, possession or use of illicit drugs or alcohol on its premises or as part of any University activities. Conduct involving prescription drugs which have not been prescribed by a physician will be treated as a violation. This policy supplements and does not limit rules of conduct pertaining to alcohol or drugs which are published in other official University publications.
Students visiting foreign countries to attend academic programs overseas are reminded that they may be subject to arrest and legal sanctions for drug and alcohol offenses under the laws and regulations of that particular country or institution in addition to the University sanctions described in the Code of Conduct.
Saint Louis University offers confidential, professional counseling and referrals for students needing assistance for problems relating to alcohol and drug abuse. Students may obtain information and assistance by contacting the following Counseling and Consultation Center locations:
Marchetti Towers
Medical Center
Wohl Institute
Manresa Hall
For assistance off-campus the following organizations provide local referrals and information on alcohol or drug abuse through nation wide hot-line services:
Toll-Free Number
Alcohol and Drug Referral
Alcoholics Anonymous
National Council on Alcoholism
National Institute on Drug Abuse
Parents' Resource Institute for Drug Information
In observance with the law of Missouri and the ordinances of the City of St. Louis, no person under the age of 21 may purchase or attempt to purchase or have in his or her possession, any alcoholic or intoxicating beverage on University premises or at University activities. Therefore, no alcohol beverage may be served or sold to anyone under 21 years of age on University premises or at University activities. Students must present two forms of valid photo identification or comply with our reasonable age verification procedures at events held on the University premises at which alcohol is available. Students found presenting false identification or taking other steps to acquire alcohol as a minor will be subject to disciplinary sanction under the Code of Non-Academic Student Discipline and Responsibility, and risk criminal prosecution.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages by those who are over 21 years of age, on University premises, is permitted ONLY at those student events or locations that have been expressly approved by the Office of Student Life and ONLY in those locations for which the University has a license. Approval for alcohol service at events sponsored by University departments must be obtained from the appropriate director, dean, or Vice Provost.
University funds may not be used to pay for any portion of an event at which alcohol may be served to or consumed by minors.
Arrangements for food and beverages for on-campus events must be made with University Dining Services, which has the responsibility for verifying the legality of persons seeking to purchase or obtain alcohol. No food or beverages may be brought into an event by an outside caterer except with special authorization.
Monitoring and enforcing compliance with the policy and guidelines are the responsibility of the Department of Public Safety for outside events, and or the director/manager of the building for inside events. Compliance with the policy in residence halls is the responsibility of the Director of Residence Life and the Residence Life staff.
University departments and student organizations also may impose additional, more stringent restrictions on the use and distribution of alcohol by their members.
Additional University alcohol-related policies include the Dry Rush Policy (section 3.2.7); Advertising and Alcohol Policy (section 3.5.3); and the Residence Life Alcohol Policy, published in the Residence Life Guide section of the Student Handbook. Alcohol guidelines for student athletes can be obtained from the Athletic Department, located in Chaifetz. Copies of the Greek Social Event Policy, intended to provide risk management guidelines and govern the use and distribution of alcohol at fraternity and sorority events, are available at the Office of Student Life, Room 300, Busch Memorial Center.
At a Catholic, Jesuit education institution, Saint Louis University expects our students to develop a responsible philosophy on the appropriate use of alcoholic beverages. The University encourages students to consider all the implications of drinking and to arrive at a conscientious decision about how they will personally use alcohol.
The University is obligated to respect civil law, and it attempts to provide the rights of others threatened by illegal or immoderate drinking on University premises or at social events sponsored by the University. The University, therefore, prohibits drinking that infringes on the rights of others, prohibits misconduct due to drinking or drinking by anyone under 21 years of age. The University prohibits any drinking patterns that lead to behaviors detrimental to the health and welfare of the individual, student group or University community. Social activities are expected to have clear purposes, other than the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The University encourages moderation in the use of alcohol, for those of legal age, who choose to drink. The University strongly asserts that choosing not to drink is as socially acceptable as choosing to drink.
Finally, in accord with our policy, the University will sponsor programs and develop guidelines to help community members understand the advantages of a healthy lifestyle, the consequences of use and abuse of alcohol, the moral implications of alcohol use, and the importance of personal and community responsibility.
In accordance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, the University annually distributes to students an informational brochure that includes the University Alcohol and Drug Policies, counseling and assistance programs, University and legal sanctions, health risks, and uses and effects of controlled substances. Additional copies are available in the Office of Judicial Affairs, Dubourg 241. All students should become familiar with this information.
For assistance and information on issues relating to alcohol please contact the Student Health and Counseling Center at 977-2323.
Saint Louis University permits the lawful possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages on University premises or at University activities by persons who are of legal drinking age, consistent with the following guidelines:
Students who are not of legal drinking age (21 years) are not permitted to be under the influence of alcohol in residence halls/apartments.
No alcoholic beverages may be sold or furnished to persons under the age of 21. Those residents who are of legal drinking age may bring alcoholic beverages in closed containers into the residence halls/apartment living units, only if they are contained in paper bags or other coverings.
Residence hall students who are of legal drinking age may consume alcohol only in their room/living unit. The door must be closed. No non-residential individual or underage persons (other than a roommate) can be present.
Students residing in apartment living units and their guests who are of legal drinking age may consume alcohol in the apartments but without the presence of underage person (other than a roommate).
No alcohol, whether in open or in uncovered unopened containers, is permitted in lounges, hallways, or other residence hall/apartment living unit public areas by anyone, of any age. No alcohol is permitted on the balcony of any University apartment.
Kegs, party balls, beer bongs and similar large containers of alcohol are not permitted in the residence halls/living units. If found, they will be disposed of and the owner(s) brought to disciplinary review.
Irresponsible use of alcohol resulting in public intoxication, disorderly conduct, vandalism or similar conduct may result in disciplinary action.
Intoxicated residents may be prohibited from escorting guests into the residence halls/living units. In addition, obviously intoxicated visitors may not be escorted into University housing, regardless of their escort.
Should you be found in a room/living unit in which an alcohol policy is being violated, you will be subject to disciplinary action, regardless of age (Refer to "implied consent").
Failure to comply with these regulations may result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to: discussions with Residence Life staff and Counseling Center staff concerning alcohol use, educational tasks, probation, or removal from University housing.
For academic year 2001-2002, 4Walsh, 4Gries, and 4Clemens are substance free floors. No alcohol is permitted regardless of age.
Beginning in 2002-2003, the Griesedieck Complex and Marguerite Hall are substance-free residence halls.
Student groups, such has hall councils, or other groups receiving University funds are not allowed to use those funds to purchase alcohol.
Alcohol may not be served as a function of a formal or other hall-sponsored event. The establishment where the event is being held may serve alcohol, but they may not establish an on-campus location specifically for the sale of alcohol at the event.
Residence hall floors may not use floor funds at events involving alcohol.
Students who violate the University's Standards of Conduct pertaining to alcohol or the Alcohol Policy and Guidelines will be subject to the maximum sanction of disciplinary probation or any lesser sanction authorized under the applicable student code. Repeated violations will constitute sufficient grounds for dismissal from the University.
Anyone found in violation of the University's Standards of Conduct pertaining to illicit drugs will be subject to the maximum sanction of dismissal or any lesser sanction authorized under the applicable student code.
Appropriate disciplinary action for violations of the University's Standards of Conduct and Alcohol Policy and Guidelines may include counseling and/or a satisfactory completion of a rehabilitation program. The University may, at its discretion, refer cases to the proper law enforcement authorities for arrest or prosecution. To the extent that the University serves society by developing and sustaining an environment free of alcohol and drug abuse, the University reserves the right to take disciplinary action against students involved in violations of the Standards and Alcohol Policy Guidelines occurring off-campus. Disciplinary measures will be administered consistent with local, state and federal laws.
There are numerous, serious health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and alcohol. Substance abuse, when left untreated, may lead to damaged vital organs such as the liver, brain, and kidneys. Other problems normally associated with substance abuse include nausea, vomiting, loss of memory, slurred speech, blurred vision, and violent acts of aggression. These effects, more often than not, lead to poor academic performance, loss of jobs, arrests, arguments with family and friends, and serious accidents.
Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a care safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher manual functions, severely altering a person's ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver. Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicated that children of alcoholic parents are at a greater risk of becoming alcoholics than other children.
Because of the harmful effects of alcohol and drug abuse, local state and federal governments have enacted laws making it a criminal offense to unlawfully possess, use or distribute illicit drugs or alcohol. These laws cover the one time, "social or recreational" users as well as the alcoholic and drug addict. In order to assist you in understanding the potential legal implications of such conduct, a summary of the criminal sanctions which may be imposed under local, state, and federal laws is provided below:
Missouri Law
Conviction for possession of illicit drugs results in up to 7 years imprisonment and a maximum fine of $5,000, unless the offense involves 35 grams or less of marijuana which entails up to 1 year in prison and a fine of $1,000.
Illinois Law
Conviction for possession of illicit drugs results in 4 to 50 years imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000, unless the offense involves smaller amounts of 200 grams or less of certain drugs, which elicits 4 to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $200,000.
Federal Law
Conviction for possession of illicit drugs results in 1 to 3 years imprisonment and a minimum fine of $1,000, unless the offense involves cocaine base (crack) which may carry mandatory imprisonment for up to 5 to 20 years.
The severity of the sanctions imposed for both possession and distribution offenses depends on the type and quantity of drugs, prior convictions, and whether death or serious injury resulted. Sanctions may be increased for offenses which involve distribution to minors or occur on or near University premises. In addition, other federal laws require or permit forfeiture of personal or real property used to illegally possess, facilitate possession, transport or conceal a controlled substance. A person's right to purchase a firearm or receive federal benefits, such as student loans, grants, contracts, or professional or commercial licenses, may be revoked or denied as a result of a drug conviction. Additionally, federal law mandates that any student who has been convicted of an offense under any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of a controlled substance shall not be eligible to receive any grant, loan, or work assistance during the period on the date of such conviction and ending after the interval specified.
Missouri Law
The purchase, attempt to purchase, or possession of any intoxicating liquor by a person under 21 years of age is punishable by a fine of $50 to $1,000 and up to a year in jail. The same penalties apply to persons knowingly furnishing alcohol to minors.
Illinois Law
The purchase and/or possession of alcoholic beverages by persons under 21 years of age is punishable by up to a year in jail. The same penalties apply to persons knowingly furnishing alcohol to minors. In addition, the Village of Cahokia prohibits by ordinance the purchase and/or possession of alcohol by persons under 21 and may impose a fine of $200.
