I should aplogize for not checking back in on this post. The workaround that I found was to reset my Linksys 300 router in terms of speed. I changed the router from "N" to "G" (effectively reducing the speed) and the connection has not dropped since the change. Somewhere I read that a software fix would be coming but I am not sure of the fix was from Linksys or Apple. I hope this helps.

Normally, an email marketing campaign's success depends on several factors, but open rate, click-through rate, and the final conversion rate are some key performance indicators. A customer marketing email campaign may look for an instant purchase, where as a B2B email marketing campaign may seek further information on the email recipient to entirely fill a database.
Definitely, the main aim of any email marketing program is acquiring the recipient to take that initial action- unfolding the email. Without opening an email, there will be no click-through and ultimately there will be no lead conversion on the website.
Now question arises that why would not your customers open your emails? What makes your email open rates to be lesser than standard averages?
There are definite factors which influence email open rates. If you overlook these 6 elements of email marketing your open rates will fall apart!
1. Do not use spam trigger words
Since many businesses comprehend that the word "free" in an email subject line will more or less get the message wiped away by spam filters, there are some other three words and phrases that can be evenly risky. The first one among these is "help". Even if the organization is seeking help from their customers or is searching to help their customer, this word should not be used. The further two spam trigger words are "Reminder" and "percent off".
2. Aim localization instead of personalization
Many email service providers will allow campaign creators to personalize or customize the subject line with the readers' names. Though, this does not depict any positive impact. So, wasting your time and effort on this, make use of a localization method. This is still valid and will reverberate well with customers who are in a specific geographic area.
3. Be recognizable as well as reputable sender
Over and over, studies have shown a key factor in why emails get unfolded is due to the receiver identifying the sender. If you are continuously changing up your "From" email name and address people would not identify who you are and they will remove your message.
To enhance your email open rates your receivers have to distinguish you as a sender. To further increase your open rates, your customers need to rely upon you and know you will offer them good information, best deals or laudable entertainment.
4. Stop repeating the same information
For those businesses that observed their newsletter or email with high open rates, when they start repeating information their open rates begin to fall down. So, always look for new methods to share your message, new headings to discuss, or other new ways to repackage weary content and selective information.
5. Use short & precise subject lines
As there are infrequent exceptions to each rule, campaign managers need to keep their subject lines short, simple and easy to recognize. It means that you must keep subject lines under 50 characters and ensure that similar text twists are easy for the targeted customer to go through it.
6. Classify your email as Timely, Personal & Valuable
Take the time to interpret your email marketing messages from the point of view of the targeted audience. Consider every single heading and inquire yourself, "If I was a person who goes through this newsletter, is this in timely manner? Does it have an individual effect? Will I get this information helpful?" Thus, it is better to correct yourself than inundating your audience with insignificant information.
Though there are many different tips and tactics present, these six elements are quite enough to create a difference in your email marketing open rates right away.

. . . Which makes calls for a boycott against The Associated Press because of its warning that using wire service content in the form of excerpts and links without payment is in violation of copyright law is misguided — or to put it in terms that some bloggers would understand, it's plain stoopid.
I seem to be in the minority on this point of view, and there are some heavyweights like Jeff Jarvis in the majority, although Jeff later more or less came to his senses and is now proposing a link ethic between the AP and bloggers, while AP itself also has backed off.
I also happen to come by my view honestly.
That is to say that I have a pretty damned good understanding of copyright law and know a thing or three about libel, as well, after a 37-year newspaper career that included quality time spent in the offices of high-paid newspaper lawyers who were trying to extricate my paper and myself from one legal fix or another.
As it is, the blogosphere is a marvelous work in progress and legal issues such as copyright and libel are only beginning to be ironed out.
So the boycott AP crowd needs to chill and understand that reaching an accommodation with the wire service and other news organizations that get huffy about the use of their content is in their best long-term interests. And that if they insist of throwing temper tantrums they'll get squashed like bugs by the high-paid lawyers for those outfits. And probably deservedly so.
I myself try to stay out of trouble by doing one simple thing:
Always give credit where it is due to both the primary source and the blog or website through which I might have found the primary source. This is especially pertinent when it comes to use of photographs and other images without permission, and I will hold off using an image if I cannot ascertain its owner and don't believe it to be in the public domain.
That few bloggers have such standards, let alone any standards, says less about the Wild West nature of the blogosphere than the ignorance of many of the cowboys and cowgirls.

Strange graduation ceremony.
I didn't get to fence at my graudation.
crap, I meant graduation. now it looks like I never had one :^(
Not what he had in mind when he heard he'd be sword fighting with a frat boy.
hahaha +1
Uh…graduation is actually next week Mr. Gosling…uh, okay… sure, I guess I can fence you…
They're fighting for the last place in Illuminating Manuscripts 101
These two donkey dicks couldn't get laid in a morgue.
Actually Ryan Gosling could get laid ANYWHERE!
Mom's a Jedi?
Dude your Mom graduated from Darth Maul Academy.
"Okay, so you're some douchy high school kid who'll be working at Arby's soon, you'd better wear this protective face gear…I on the other hand am in every movie on Earth because I'm so handsome, I'll just go sans helmet!"
Ever since Disney acquired the rights, Power Rangers seem to have a bit less of a budget.
Is his mother studying to be a pirate ?
Shame Jerry Sandusky isn't there to show them another way to sword fight.
Always suspected he was into sword play.
I hate this guy.
Ahh so this is how you hit on Bieber!
"I went through this already with Ryan Reynolds. Only the swords weren't so big."
double foil fencing? hm… cool
His mom's a badger now.
Napoleon Dynamite and Ryan Gosling have a duel to see who will be Pedro's BFF. Vote Pedro!!!!
If he's getting lost in my eyes he will never see the sword behind my back.
"I'll ring the doorbell."
"No, I'll ring the doorbell."
"Back off, jerk, I'll ring the doorbell."
Apparently no one was home.

Today for breakfast the girls had bacon, eggs, a pluot and banana chips. Lunch was leftover Paleo Fish Tacos for hubby and I. The girls had an almond butter and jelly sandwich on my homemade gluten-free bread, bell peppers, cucumbers and raisins. For dinner I made Moroccan beef kebabs and green beans. I love the spices used and how a lot of Moroccan dishes incorporate dried fruit and nuts into them. Both the kebabs and green beans were fantastic. The key is to marinate the meat for as long as you can. I did 6 hours, but overnight would be even better. This dish also came together really quickly; another plus in my book
Moroccan Beef Kebabs
2 lbs grass-fed ground beef
1 onion, quartered
4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ras el hanout
1 tbsp harissa paste
2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp sea salt
fresh ground pepper to taste
Place the onion and garlic in a food processor and blend until finely minced. Combine the spices in a small bowl and then add to the food processor. Pour food processor contents into the beef and combine well. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Remove from the fridge and shape the meat around 8 metal skewers. If you use bamboo skewers, you'll need to soak them for at least 30 minutes. They should look like somewhat elongated burgers. Place on an oiled grill and grill for about 6 minutes per side.
Moroccan Green Beans
2 lbs green beans or Chinese long beans, cut into 2 inch long pieces
2 tsp curry powder
1/4 cup raw pistachios
2 tbsp raisins
sea salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp coconut oil
Heat up the coconut oil in a saute pan and add the green beans. Saute 3 minutes. Add the raisins and cook for another 3 minutes. Now add the pistachios, curry powder, salt and pepper and saute for another 3 minutes.

The one Cypress purchased is this one.
I foresee this one causing big wait times in between jumps. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I can picture people, whether landing their jump or not, riding up the other end of the landing area like a quarter pipe then back up the landing area.
I posted on their Facebook page that it's not too late to trade & get the other kind. Their reply was too bad this is the one we purchased.
I'll be all over it either way, unless they do some sort of cheesy fucking pay per jump or separate pass system. Cause as much as I like Cypress for their terrain, they are definitely the biggest greedy shysters out of the 3 Van hills!!
I wouldn't put it past them to try something like that.
I'll be front & center, starting the protest if they do.
You can count on that!!!!!
Well just as I predicted, Cypress is charging a fee to use the Air-bag.
I think that's pretty fuckin' cheesy.
Airbag Rates: Opening Special
Give it a try -
1 Jump* $2
5 Jumps* $8
*All participants must do a straight air test jump. (this is not included in the numbers above)
Helmets are mandatory.
All participants must sign a waiver to use the Airbag. Tickets can be purchased in Guest Relations.
Does anyone know if other mtn's charging per jump like this?
I searched a little bit, but could only find snowboard camps that had it & they were charging $40 a day unlimited use.
Time to stir the pot on Facebook, see if we can get this bullshit overturned

|Recognizing work of Gail Campbell and Don Franks April 2013 Wakulla Times
This month I want to talk about the work of two people who grace the halls of the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office on a regular basis. I am speaking of our WCSO Grants Specialist Gail Campbell and our General Educational Development (GED) instructor Don Franks.
Gail has not only done an outstanding job helping the agency maximize our financial impact by helping us acquire grant money, but she is a key element in the Wakulla County Coalition for Youth where she has served as president.
Gail's efforts with the Coalition for Youth and Operation Santa earned her recognition from the Tallahassee Democrat as one of the "25 Women You Need To Know," a feature which was published during the month of March.
If Gail wins the second recognition it will be fitting. If she isn't selected with her outstanding work in the community it will be a shame. We all know what kind of an impact Gail has had within our agency, both as an employee and as a person.
Gail and the volunteers raised thousands of dollars to help the less fortunate at Christmas. The food bowl project also helped food pantries in Wakulla County and raise awareness of the seriousness of the hunger problem we have in Wakulla County.
The Tallahassee Democrat is correct that their readers should know and praise the work of volunteers like Gail Campbell. At the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office, we all know that Wakulla County is a better place to live because of the efforts of people like Gail Campbell and Don Franks.
I also want to recognize the outstanding work of GED instructor Franks. Don is actually a Wakulla County School District employee who visits our jail twice a week to educate our inmates. Many of our inmates have studied with Don and learned several subjects including mathematics, science, reading, social studies and writing. After they learn from Don's classes, they take the test to see if they have enough knowledge in the subject area to receive their GED.
Every three months the test cycle arrives and six inmates passed their GED in the most recent cycle. The next text cycle is in April.
Franks has worked with inmates for five years in the jail and nine years overall, including time in Leon County. He has an outstanding success rate as more than a dozen of his students have gone on to get their GED in a single calendar year.
Don tells me that he loves helping people and spent 14 years as a paralegal. He loves the education field and helping people better themselves.
Don is flexible in his teaching as he may stand up and teach in a classroom setting or sit around a table and teach students from their level. The students he teaches want to be in his teaching program and behavioral problems rarely become an issue.
Don is also a U.S. Army Reservist with a rank of E-7 or Sergeant First Class. The 26-year military veteran spent a year working at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He continues his reserve work each month.
• The WCSO has been pretty busy since I was sworn in as sheriff in January. The time passes quickly and the challenges never really stop.
A Crawfordville woman was arrested for five felony charges after pulling out a firearm from its holster in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. The citizen was angry over not being allowed to use a $1 coupon. She also struck one of our arresting sergeants as he attempted to conduct a traffic stop and get her to get out of the vehicle during the arrest process shortly after she left the supercenter.
Emergency Management Director Scott Nelson continues to do an outstanding job as Wakulla County citizens face natural disasters. The latest challenge for us included lots of rain and river flooding, particularly along the Ochlockonee River in the Smith Creek community. Scott does an excellent job keeping everyone up to speed on the threats and dangers involved in the disaster and how the WCSO and county officials are responding to it.
His work during Tropical Storm Debby in June 2012 was exemplary as he put in long, long hours to address all aspects of the county's response. It is a comfort to know that while we can't stop Mother Nature, we can be prepared to react and help those in need.
I also received a visit from former Sheriff David Harvey who presented me with a plaque for "Outstanding Improvement in Fleet Safety and Loss Control." Sheriff Harvey is now the Executive Director of the Florida Sheriffs Risk Management Fund which provides insurance coverage to sheriff's offices throughout the state.
The sheriff's office has also continued to find ways to save taxpayer's money by completing a great deal of work in house with our own staff and inmates. The work to prepare some new road patrol trucks fell on our maintenance division as our staff got the trucks all ready for the deputies. They used donated materials to make the trucks an office on wheels for our deputies. We have an amazingly talented staff and they do a fantastic job for us. Their work keeps the WCSO from having to spend lots of money having the work performed by vendors at a much higher cost.
The maintenance crew also saves us money inside the facility by performing many tasks involving plumbing, electrical, general repairs and small construction projects. The crew attempts to address all of the facility maintenance concerns from the roof to the floor, whether it is inside the jail, Emergency Operations Center or our administrative offices.
This device is the latest piece of technology that calculates vehicle speed on our roads. It will give us an opportunity to continue our efforts to reduce speeding in Wakulla County and make the roads safer for everyone.
The WCSO has also been active making a home invasion arrest in Crawfordville involving three suspects and the agency and county public safety staff has also responded to a number of structure fires during the colder months.
I want to remind everyone to be careful with fire and take precautions as we cook in the kitchen and heat in the final days of colder weather.
The WCSO also participated in the Special Olympics as School Resource Officer Deputy Scott Rojas led the Special Olympic Games parade of athletes around the track. The Special Olympics gives our students an opportunity to compete in sports and feel good about themselves. A Torch Run has always been supported by law enforcement from my agency and others in Crawfordville.
Be looking for the 2013 Wakulla Area Phone Book. This year the cover contains our WCSO School Resource Officers with several students from the schools they serve. We are proud of our SRO program and our relationship with the school district and students.
Inside the phone book you will find several color pages of your sheriff's office in action. Take a look at the book when it is published and enjoy learning more about our agency.

Hey guys,
We bred Jester to a friend's mare a few years ago and produced a pretty bay filly by the name of Reign that I would like to see if I can track down again. We sold her to some people Palermo, california and have lost contact with them. I know they sold her though. Here's the Ad:
Bay Overo Paint Filly w/ Blue eye Great Bloodlines
Sire: Jesters Cowboy
Dam: Miss Early Tucker
She's a light bay with a half face, one blue eye and a belly spot that goes to both sides. It's differant on either side of her, and when she was born I saw one side...then saw the other about an hour later....and actually thought "Crap there's twins...Where's the other one?" LOL.
Anyway if you can get any info on her please let me know this was one who really had a special place to me out of all Jester's babies.

Badly Drawn Boy
Despite the charming accent, Brittany Sturges wasn't won over by Badly Drawn Boy'sperformance.
Billy Joel
It matters not that Billy Joel released his first album in 1971, when the Piano Man tours, he sells venues out. Jen Cray was among the 16,000 inside Orlando's Amway Arena who spent an evening with the Pop legend.
It's taken Deerhoof thirteen years to grab widespread attention, but now that the media is paying attention the fans have followed. Jen Cray was one among many who crammed into The Social in Orlando, FL, to see what all the fuss is about.
Dr. Dog
The last we saw Dr. Dog, they were opening for The Raconteurs. Jen Cray couldn't resist seeing how their inspired 30-minute set translated to a full set on a stage of their own.
As the Killswitch Engage/Dragonforce tour sped into Orlando for a sold-out night of metal mayhem, Jen Cray geared up for a night of epic headbangin'.
Moros Eros
Moros Eros are the most exciting band to call Victory Records home in years. Baffled as to why they were billed opening for an electro/emo artist, Jen Cray showed up at their Orlando show to congratulate them on their greatness.
Slayer and Unearth bring the heaviness back to thrash and remind Orlando that metal is meant to be dangerous. Jen Cray was in the middle of it all.
Sleeping at Last
Chris Catania was just one member of a Chicago crowd awed into silence by the beautiful songs of Sleeping at Last and the Smoking Popes' Josh Caterer.
Chris Catania saw Sparklehorse transcend nasty weather and nastier flu to deliver a transcendent set of American Gothic. What's your excuse?
Summerbirds In The Cellar
The four perfectionists who run the Summerbirds In The Cellar machine consistently put on the best show of any Central Florida band I've seen. Billed behind them on a late night gig at Orlando's BackBooth was Attached Hands, For Ex Lovers Only, Derek Lyn Plastic. Staying until the very late, late end was Jen Cray.

Dear Dr Wallace,
On Monday last after sending the announcement of the Order of Merit conferred upon you, I felt strongly impressed to write the enclosed congratulation, but though afterwards not being a friend or an acquaintance, even, I ought not to thus intrude.
If, however I say that for the past seven years I have had your portrait hung in my bedroom, out of affectionate regard for your great services of a religious, social and scientific character, and particularly for your splendid courage in regard to psychic matters, I think you wise perhaps not to disposed to resent the congratulations of a stranger.
I have had some remarkable experience of a psychical nature in regard to my inventions. an account of which I hope someday to give to the world.
In my leisure moments too, I have written over 200 poems, some of which have been illustrated by lantern slides.
I have had much useful guidance and evidence beyond all doubt of the existence of spirit friends.
Yours most sincerely | Wynford Brierley [signature]

I like to speculate every offseason when the talk is of a new coach . But could Rick Barry be content into stepping back into his home and work alongside Mike Montgomery to lead the Warriors to be the 2005 NBA champs. Does Mullin have the gutsy gut feel to make an even bolder move then his choice of bringing in Montgomery as head ? Would Rick Barry play the assistant role
Well i was reading in a "Hoops" i think Dec 2001. that Rick Barry wanted to coach in the nba as either a head or an assistant. he highlighted his stellar career at golden State . but would he want to come back , would he be welcomed back !
I think this would be the best move for the Warriors offseason , Is it going to happen ? You tell us Chris, at least one of you KRS running the front office ?
PS: no a seperate note see Toronto is looking at potential candidates Musselman and Michigan State HEAD Izzo . i wonder with a move such as this if Jrich could get shipped. I hope not JRICH IS THE FUTURE !
Assistant Coaches ! Could we land Rick Barry ?
Discuss anything related to Golden State Warriors basketball here

monty has to have the right to hire his own assistants. its imperative to the success of any coach, and i'm sure monty made sure he had this power before agreeing to come here.
i'd like to see barry as a special assistant with the franchise. first of all, i believe you should keep your past stars in the organization. look at the giants with mays, bobby bonds, etc (basically barry bonds' extended family ). i'm not saying make them gm (too late) but keep them around, keep contact w/ your past. secondly, barry can teach these guys quite a bit. he's been there and done that, and the players probably have some respect for his opinion because of that. who better to teach our young swingmen how to shoot and play team ball than a hall of famer at the same position who allegedly excelled at those very things?
i don't want him as an assistant coach because he wants to be head coach. he might end up undermining monty, especially if monty isn't working out too well.
in the end, i dont think he'd leave knbr for anything other than a hc job, or a good shot at one (a next in line assistant type gig).

When Christopher Nolan took up the reins of the Batman franchise back in 2005, no one could have predicted that his grounded and darker take on the series would become such a massive success. And while Batman Begins earned itself many fans, it was 2008s The Dark Knight which confirmed the filmmaker's reputation, earning more than a billion dollars worldwide.Nolan returns for The Dark Knight Rises, with a story that sees Batman still on the run after taking the fall for the crimes of Harvey Dent in the second film. The main plot brings us to eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, with Batman returning to Gotham to find the city on the brink of chaos as a new foe emerges in the form of Bane.
The surviving cast all make a return in The Dark Knight Rises, including Christian Bale as Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman and the marvellous Gary Oldman finally taking up the mantle of Commissioner Gordon. New additions include Tom Hardy as Bane (who put on 30 pounds of muscle for his role as the vicious villain) and Anne Hathaway as the leather bound Catwoman while Click favourite Joseph Gordon-Levitt takes on a mysterious role.Christian Bale as Batman in The Dark Knight Rises Enlarge
I must admit, I wasn't a fan of Batman Begins – I found its action dull and uninteresting and the attempt at realism laughable, especially the moment when the tumbler disappeared! But The Dark Knight was a revelation, delving into the very construction of archetypes like hero and villain and interrogating the history of the character while also delivering a gripping narrative. And it didn't hurt that Heath Ledger was there, being generally awesome, as The Joker.The Dark Knight Rises rounds out that trilogy and with the confirmation that neither Nolan nor Bale will be returning to the series, it's bound to end with a bang. The decision to set the events nearly a decade on from the last film is significant – this is a beaten down Bat who might just have to sacrifice everything to keep Gotham safe. And Bane is an interesting villain, one who can match Batman physically but lacks our heroes disinclination for killing, while also sporting a finely honed mind. Hardy has shown dramatic and musculature chops before, so maybe himself and Nolan can conjure up some character magic again in Bane.The Dark Knight Rises is bound to be one of the blockbuster events of the summer and Nolan and co have upped the ante again by shooting nearly half the film in screen-filling IMAX. We've also just heard that the final running time is an impressive two hours and 45 minutes, meaning this conclusion to the Batman trilogy is set to be nothing less than epic.The Dark Knight Rises is in cinemas from the 20th of July. Why not read our feature - where Jack hopes that the action in Nolan's latest measures up.

A high-resolution image from MODIS satellite of Lake Champlain taken Wednesday, Feb. 12. Aside from a few ice-free spots (shown by the red arrows) most of Lake Champlain is ice covered. / US National Weather Service Burlington VT
Lake Champlain looks to be frozen over from one side to the other but dont try motoring across the ice to New York in your Humvee just yet. The meaning of frozen over is a bit imprecise.
Heres what we know, according to the National Weather Service: High resolution MODIS satellite photos show ice pretty much everywhere on the lake, except for a few relatively small patches. Thats enough for National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Loconto to offer a rough characterization: 99 percent frozen.
This freeze-over likely was consummated Wednesday, he said, thanks in part to low temperatures overnight 11 degrees below zero at Burlington International Airport in South Burlington.
Its the most ice weve seen since 2007, Loconto said. Thats the last year the lake is believed to have frozen over.
Loconto cautioned that frozen over can mean different things. In the past, to some people, it might simply have meant that the Charlotte Ferry couldnt get across the lake.
However defined, freeze-overs are less frequent than they used to be. A century ago, they supposedly happened annually, and in nearly every year through the 1940s, but less frequently after that, and reportedly only three times in the 90s.
On a Facebook page, the weather service posted a satellite photo of the lake with three arrows indicating ice free spots, with this caveat: Our record of Lake Champlain fully freezing over comes from varied sources and several observers. So theres potential for inaccuracy.
The satellite photo doesnt show how thick the ice is, either, so it might not be safe to retrace the ferrys full passage on foot, much less by snowmobile. The lake may be in an uncommon condition, but common sense is still called for.

The rumour mills are reporting that a new micro 4/3 camera the GX1 will be released on 8 November - photos and basic specs are on the various rumour sites. It will be bundled with the new X 14-42 lens. About GF1 size, it restores all the buttons and appears to represent the first release by Panasonic of their proposed splitting of the micro 4/3 line into separate consumer and professional lines. I have been waiting for the X lens to appear in the shops before I bought a new camera. I was hoping for a GF3 bundled with X lens but this looks unlikely now. As more of a happy snapper than serious photographer I am now tending to the GF3 with a 20mm prime and buy the X 14-42 as an add on.
Hi Mark,Yeah, the GX1 looks like a significant release for Panny. In addition to what you've mentioned, it will accept the new high-resolution EVF (which won't be back-compatible with earlier models) and very importantly, is rumored to have better image quality than any previous model, including the GH2. We'll know soon enough.(What I'd really like is something like this from scandal-plagued Oly with a built-in EVF, Oly's IBIS and the E-P3's AMOLED display. I'd also like a pony.)Cheers,Rick
Mark, Amazon shows that the GF3 with the lense you want will be available Nov 8th in stock.
Thanks Craig for the heads up. The Amazon seller doesn't ship to Australia but the same combination has now appeared on eBay through Kenmore Cameras at a similar price - cheaper than the Australian price with the old 14-42 lens even after paying freight. I think I will wait until the release of the GX1 on Tuesday to get the full specifications so I don't regret my decision although I expect the rumoured better image quality of the GX1 will come at a considerable weight penalty. Weight and bulk are quite high in my priorities.
GX1 will be rolled out next week, presumably in tandem with several preliminary evaluations and test images. One rumor site says this:"But the best news I got from two sources says that they tested the image quality of the GX1 and the jpeg high ISO quality is visible better than what you get from any other m43 camera. And one source said it's actually surprisingly close to the Sony NEX-5n jpeg quality. Let's hope this is true because theSony really shines in that aspect!"In design and control layout it looks quite a bit more like the GF1 and LX3/4 than other recent Panny µ4/3 bodies.Cheers,Rick
Unless Panny fixes their dynamic range deficiency and colors I am not interested. Have GH1 and was underwhelmed for what I paid for it. Sure hope this cam succeeds though as I think the m43 is a wonderful format allowing far smaller lenses for us backpackers. Then again I pretty much got it for the video. =)Then again I can still get very good images from it. Just takes post processing if you don't want saturated greens and unrealistic blues. BTW, I have largish(wide) hands and cannot operate the GH1 with a thin glove on without a wrist loop. Even then its highly problematical. Just an FYI for small cams and folks hands. I know most here are summer backpackers and such a camera will not have this issue in that condition.
Should be out soon, I wonder how long it will take the major reviewers to get their hands on it and compare the IQ to other cameras.DPReview has a page set up for it ready to go, with a lot of specs in place...http://www.dpreview.com/products/panasonic/slrs/panasonic_dmcgx1Image Resources...(they've definitely got one in their hands right now)http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/GX1/GX1A.HTMPanasonic have videos of it up now. The touch screen AF performance looks excellent!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js2SAAgBJKU
Edited by oysters on 11/07/2011 00:33:40 MST.
Thanks Adam, saves me waiting until tomorrow - so much for release dates.After a quick look at the specs on the Panasonic site I am now thinking that for the better sensor, same number of images per battery, ability to add the new LVF etc I can justify a 50g weight penalty over the GF3 - it should lighten my wallet by the same weight.
One thing to consider is the viewfinder. If, like me, you prefer to hold a camera up to your eye, rather than at arms' length, some sort of viewfinder is necessary. I have the EVF for the original GF-1, and while it works, having another piece of gear to purchase and keep track of is something of a PITA. And it makes the camera much more difficult to fit in a small bag or waist pack, with the large square thing sticking out the top.I see that Panny has also announced a new, higher resolution EVF for the new camera. That's nice, the better view is good, but it's still another thing to carry and get in the way (and potentially lose.)Having been waiting for this announcement, I think I'll order a G3. That camera is around US$615 with the 14-42 lens at Amazon today. I think that will be a useful second camera in the m4/3 system.
Its a tough call, and I'm glad I can't afford a new body now anyway as I'd probably struggle to choose.The interfaces look pretty similar and impressive. I've looked at videos of the touch screen AF performance of both and they are both blindingly quick and accurate, and more than good enough for me (I get by with my dog AF on my E-P1...).So far I'd lean towards the Oly...1. IBIS2. Oly's great exposure and colour balance. Negatives reported for the Oly...a). apparently the OLED Screen doesn't have the greatest colour correspondence with the image. If I'm shooting off the screen, I'd prefer WYSIWYG. Maybe that will be fixed in firmware updates, or maybe its down to the sample that DPReview had.b). Image quality cf the GX1. We don't now yet, but its likely the GX1 will leave it quite behind. I think I'm happy with the resolution and sharpness (and JPEG) from the Oly, but I can't help but feel that I want more and more dynamic range, and as sensors get better, that also tends to get better.1x2 above means that I'm more likely to get the shot I want every time according to how I control the camera, which is something I love about my E-P1. However a), could lead to systematic errors in shooting that I can't account for in the field, which scares me.
I'm using E-PL1 and have been quite happy by a polarizer, or by exposing to the sky method to overcome its DR limitation. I believe that if a scene has extreme tonal range, neither m43 or even NEX sensor could contain all those information. The only answer is only a large sensor camera, a 35mm full frame is a minimum.

Delaware's General Assembly should complete the job it began last year by passing the Hazel D. Plant Voter Restoration Act.
This is a proposed amendment to the state's constitution, and as such it must be passed by two consecutive assemblies. The proposal would eliminate the five-year waiting period between a felon's completion of his sentence and regaining the right to vote. The proposal would restore an estimated 7,400 Delawareans' voting rights.
Presently, under the Delaware Constitution, a felon can be restored to the voter rolls if he or she is pardoned by the governor. That track would remain the same under the Hazel D. Plant proposal.
Currently, a felon must wait five years after the sentence is completed. The sentence includes prison time, probation and any restitution. Under the proposal, the words "five years" would be stricken from the law. Voting rights would be restored once the complete sentence is served.
There are exceptions, of course. No one convicted of murder or manslaughter, of bribing a government official or of any sexual offense would be able to vote.
Not all rights are restored under current law, nor will they be under the proposed revision. A felon who wins a pardon from the governor will have all of his rights restored, including the right to bear arms. Pardons are rare. However, a felon who, under current law, completes his sentence and waits five years can vote again, but he cannot own or possess a firearm. This restriction would remain if the revision is made part of the constitution.
These proposals make sense and provide the necessary safeguards.

If three's a trend (as they say in fashion), I guess five or six is a phenomenon. Such is the case with this structured bookbag from The Cambridge Satchel Company, a UK-based bag maker whose retro-inspired cross-body has become all the rage among fashion insiders.
While the company makes its most popular style in a range of classic colors – from basic black to saddle tan to brick red – it's the fluoroscent green and yellow hues that are being carried by in-the-know fashionistas. Modeled after a classic school bag, this boxy unisex carryall was given a thoroughly modern makeover in shades so bold they almost glow in the dark (making them really pop against the all-black ensembles worn by most New York showgoers).
I first spotted this bag on Marie Claire editor (and street style blog magnet) Joanna Hillman at the Missoni for Target preview back in June. Then this past week, I noticed no fewer than five other industry insiders, including stylists Susan Joy and Brad Goreski, carrying their own fluro satchels. Which makes sense, since they come in several sizes and are designed to hold all one's New York Fashion Week essentials in style (bonus points for having your initials monogramed on the flap in gold lettering, as Brad and Susan did).
Why should kids have all the fun? These of-the-moment bags let you channel your inner child in high style – without having to do homework.

The iPhone 6S Plus has a few key advantages that give it an edge for serious iPhone users, but its big body still may not fit for a lot of people.
iPhone and iOS news
The newest iPhones are top-to-bottom better phones with lots of enhancements; iPhone 6 owners don't need the upgrade, but everyone else should seriously consider it.
The $99 Typo Keyboard case adds a credible physical keyboard to the iPhone 6, but losing access Touch ID sensor makes it a tough trade-off.
Pricing not available
The iPhone 6 is an exceptional phone in nearly every way except its average battery life: it's thin, fast, and features the excellent iOS operating system. It was the best overall phone introduced in 2014.
The iPhone 6 Plus is an outstanding choice for those with big budgets and big pockets, but power users seeking even more flexibility should audition the Galaxy Note 4 as well.
Though it's a niche product, Thunderspace is a worthwhile download, with realistic-sounding storms that make for a relaxing experience.
Pricing not available
Looking for even more battery life on your new iPhone? Mophie's come to the rescue.
Pricing not available
Adobe ports its iPad app to the iPhone. It's cramped, as you might imagine, but functional.
Pricing not available
For rating and flagging photos already in Lightroom while you're killing time or for quick, rough edits, it's good. But the phone version of Lightroom mobile needs more features before it feels essential.
Pricing not available
A simple, clever solution to minimize finger smudges and germs sells for an affordable $45.

Radio Golf by August Wilson
This is August Wilson's last play in his impressive cycle of ten, documenting life in twentieth century America, particularly for African Americans. If you've never read a play, read this play. It's a reflection, or perhaps a reaction, to A Raisin in the Sun. (Read that, too). And go watch that Whole Foods parking lot bit. This is, too often, gentrification. A word that's not necessarily "dirty," but can be. We're in Pittsburg, and Harmond Wilks just inherited a real estate agency from his father; and he's running for office: to be the first black mayor. His wife and friends have big plans: big ideas. But, like most people in the world, (and maybe especially politicians), there's a past. How can there not be? The kind of past that shouldn't really be difficult to move on from; but somehow these things tend to grow, and reflect something worse than what is really there. It's the nineties in this play--that seems significant to remember. It's not the sixties. But then, it's 2012 now, and this play might force you to take a look around your own neighborhood; ask yourself some key questions about what needs to be "improved."
-Micah Ling
(If you're in the Indianapolis area, this play is being performed at the IRT)

Hit in the Head (aka Clocked in the Cabesa)
by Slacker and Steve
posted May 30 2014 5:28PM
There are a lot of stories in the news about people being hit in the head lately!
A couple is suing the National Aquarium in Baltimore for over $16,000 after they claim a dolphin bonked their young son on the head with a pool toy. The couple and their son attended a dolphin show at the aquarium in April of last year. After the show, a trainer tossed a pool toy into the pool and the dolphin responded by launching at spectators. The little boy was hit in the head by the pool toy injuring him. The parents are now suing the aquarium for $16,454 for negligence and pain and suffering.
(Click here for the full story)
A coach at a school in Aurora, Illinois was hit in the head with a shot put during a track meet.
The man was hit in the head with the 12-pound and blacked out. He was taken to the hospital.
Turns out he suffered a fractured skull but is going to be okay. He is expected to be released from the hospital this week.
Slacker thinks that Steve was dropped on his head when he was younger. He is confused on how a pool toy can hurt someone, says it's just full of air! Slacker claims he was awesome at shot put, better than anyone could have imagined.
Steve says it must have been a big pool toy in order for the people to sue for that much. He calls out Slacker saying he has never done anything shot put or discus related! Steve said he had a baseball to the eye. He said that he swelled up so badly and so fast that the gravel was stuck in his wound!
Lil D was in a bear suit sliding on a banister and fell down two flights of stairs! He says he woke up two days later in a hospital. Lil D says the reason he was in a bear suit because at a summer camp he was the only one tall enough to play Chewbacca for a Star Wars play. He says they didn't have enough money for a real outfit so they bought him a bear!
What crazy hit in the head story do you have?

Bullskin residents ask supervisors to address flooding issues
A few township residents addressed Bullskin supervisors this week about ongoing concerns related to flooding issues that they have been experiencing.
Scott Humbert of Moyer Street asked supervisors about a drain at the end of his property that had been covered.
"Before I moved there the storm drain opening at the end of my property was asphalted over," Humbert said. "The water now just sits there then goes into my neighbor's house. When it rains, all that water now just sits there in front of my house. I wanted to see about getting it opened up again."
The supervisors told Humbert that they were working on the problems of drainage in that area and would be burying 18-inch pipes along that roadway that would then detour the water and rain runoff into nearby Irish Run.
"That will move the water down to the creek, then flow into the creek," Supervisor Deb Wiltrout said. "We are addressing the problem."
Humbert also asked about having the creek dredged to help keep the banks from overflowing.
"If it's dredged further down, then it wouldn't fill up so fast," Humbert said, adding that he has been in touch with the Department of Environmental Protection and state Sen. Richard Kasunic to see if he could get any help.
"He needs you to put in an application to get the process going," Humbert said.
Wiltrout said that although he is aware of the problem, without help, there is not enough funding in the township to do the project.
Ruth Nicklow of Irish Hill Road asked supervisors to again look into a problem she is having with flooding caused by the runoff from her neighbor's newly constructed garage.
The township code enforcement officer delivered a letter to the neighbors telling them they had 10 days to rectify the problem, which is misdirected downspouts.
The letter, dated July 10, reportedly produced no results.
"I can't sleep at night thinking that if it rains, I might get flooded," Nicklow said, asking if some type of fine can be imposed on her neighbors. "I don't want damages paid and I don't want restitution. I only want the problem to stop."
Supervisors told Nicklow they would speak to the solicitor to see what actions can be taken.
Motions passed included:
• Hiring a new road laborer who will begin this month.
• Renewing the township's agreement with Bullskin Volunteer Fire Department.
• Continuing health care for Supervisor Bill Geary.

SONIC REDUCER Sweet home Europa be it central, eastern, or so southerly that you're smack in the Amazon, shooting the rapids like Aguirre and grabbing inspiration from the jaguar guts of the jungle. Call the recent Balkan music invasion on virginal indie hearts and minds the stealth revenge of new, weird Old World sounds on arrogant Amerindie rockism just listen to the brainy, brassy blast of Beirut or the fiddle-borne shakedowns of A Hawk and a Hacksaw or the gypsy, or Romany, mess-arounds of Brass Menazeri I dare you not to jig. Yet the rip-roaring, marrow-slurping, living end of all fiddlin'-round roma punks are the longtime "Think Locally, Fuck Globally" champeens Gogol Bordello.
Larger-than-life Gogol vocalist Eugene Hütz adores the fact that Romany sounds are finding new audiences "It clicked for me one day," he says from New Orleans, "that gypsy music is going through exactly the revolution that reggae went through, from being a regional phenomenon to being a much larger music section in the store much bigger visibility because if you're not visible, you're fucked." But trust the man to set me straight on sloppy assumptions regarding that same music, especially regarding Gogol Bordello's next album, which was influenced by Hütz's move this year to Rio de Janeiro. Will the recording about which, Hütz promises, "people are going to shit in their pants when they hear it, because we're already shitting in our pants" give off a heady, flowery whiff of tropicália, and sound like the Pogues and Os Mutantes in steel-cage match?
"Forget that!" he retorts. "It's like being in Spain and saying there's only flamenco, or there's nothing in Eastern Europe except polka. It's what every tourist knows." Hütz was initially lured to Brazil by a lady, but he says, "the next thing I knew there was a huge gypsy community to discover. Next thing I knew I was traveling through Brazil with Manu Chao and seeing the other side of it, and the next thing I knew I was calling my mom to send all my shit over.
"I love New York City and I always will," Hütz continues. "It gave me everything, gave me understanding and initial recognition. But I feel like the road is still calling me. It ain't no time to settle."
The allure of unexplored vistas could go a little way in explaining the appeal of Gogol and its brethren to New Worlders like ourselves. What fan girl or boy isn't tempted to have their blasé, boring butt kicked by the very unironic, passionate Gogol Bordello not for nothing is the band's 2002 album titled Multi Kontra Culti vs. Irony (Rubric) which takes nothing for granted, and while it's at it, takes no prisoners.
PLASTIC FANTASTIC Czech Republic underground OGs Plastic People of the Universe, who perform with promising Budapest band Little Cow this week in San Francisco at Slim's, are all too familiar with incarceration. The group will also make a Q&A stop at the American Conservatory Theatre production of Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll, a semi-bon mot to the band who were forbidden to perform, whose fans were beaten, and members were eventually imprisoned by the Czech government in the '70s for their dark, "antisocial," Velvet Underground- and Frank Zappainspired art-rock psychedelia.
Guitarist Joe Karafiát tells me by cellie, as the many in the seven-piece snoozed their way to Burlington, Vt., that Plastic People of the Universe didn't set out to be activists or the initial inspiration for the human rights petition Charter 77 (which landed Václav Havel in jail) much like they didn't set out to be such diehard Zappa or Velvets heads.

FULL-TIME: Bristol City 1, Wolverhampton Wanderers 4
Posted: December 01, 2012|
Bristol City slumped to their heaviest home defeat in nearly three years as Wolves ran riot in this one-sided npower Championship contest.
Not since Cardiff City inflicted a 6-0 humiliation upon the Robins in January 2010 had Ashton Gate regulars witnessed anything quite on this scale.
It was a case of one step forward and two back for a City side that thought it had turned the corner when winning at Middlesbrough a week earlier.
But their abject first-half surrender to opponents who were low on confidence after going nine games without a win could not be excused.
City began tentatively and Wolves deservedly took the lead on 21 minutes through Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
Kevin Doyle took advantage of poor defending to score in the 25th and 41st minutes and the rout was complete when Norwegian raider Bjorn Sigurdarson netted a fourth shortly before the interval.
City improved after the interval and Neil Danns restored some semblance of pride when rifling in a shot from 30 yards out to register his first goal since arriving on loan from Leicester.
The result leaves City rooted firmly in the relegation zone and heaps further pressure on manager Derek McInnes, whose team was booed off at half-time and again at the final whistle.
Although City improved with the introduction of substitutes Sam Baldock and Stephen Davies in the second half, Wolves remained the better side and would have won by a much wider margin had it not been for poor finishing.
Denied a home win since Cardiff were put to the sword at the end of August, City fans had seen their team beaten by Blackburn, Leeds, Hull and Charlton and held to draws by Millwall and Blackpool in the intervening three months.
In his determination to give long-suffering season ticket holders something to cheer, McInnes opted to maintain the 4-5-1 system that yielded a remarkable 3-1 success at Middlesbrough last Saturday, recalling Ryan Taylor to replace Davies as the lone striker.
Unhappy with his team's form and without a win in nine games, Wolves boss Stale Solbakken made three changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Millwall in midweek. And it was the visitors who made the more purposeful start.
Restored to the starting line-up, Ebanks-Blake should have put Wolves ahead after just two minutes. French winger Bakary Sako beat Robins right-back Richard Foster for pace and delivered a low cross towards the edge of the six-yard box, only for Ebanks-Blake to somehow steer his shot wide of a gaping target.
Wolves continued to call the shots, forcing City back and looking dangerous whenever Sako or Sigurdarson sent over crosses from the flanks.
It came as no surprise when the visitors took the lead on 21 minutes. Sako's corner was only half cleared by City's defence and Stephen Ward drove the ball through a crowded penalty area for Ebanks-Blake to apply a decisive touch from six yards out.
Robins keeper Tom Heaton got a hand to the ball, but only to help it into the roof of the net.
Wolves doubled their lead four minutes later. Ebanks-Blake turned Matthew Bates and fed Sigurdarson, whose task was made easier by Heaton's decision to rush from his line and close him down.
The Norwegian merely had to square the ball to Doyle, who could not miss from point-blank range.
And Wolves added a third before half time as City's defence disintegrated. When a City attack broke down on the edge of the penalty area, the visitors launched a swift counter-attack.
Doyle collected the ball just inside his own half, turned and embarked upon a surging run that took him past three red-shirted defenders without a single challenge coming in.
The Republic of Ireland striker had time to set himself and pick his spot, his low shot beating Heaton and nestling in the corner of the net.
Doyle then turned provider on the stroke of half-time, threading a neat pass into the path of Sigurdarson, whose clinical finish gave Heaton no chance and sparked chants of "what a load of rubbish" from angry Robins fans.
McInnes made a change at the start of the second half, withdrawing Neil Kilkenny, sending on Sam Baldock and switching to a 4-4-2 formation to match-up with Wolves.
It made little difference and Wolves almost increased their lead with their first meaningful attack after the break, Doyle surging past Fontaine, only to see his low shot hacked off the line by Bates.
Heaton then had to stand his ground to deny Doyle as Wolves threatened to heap further embarrassment on the home side.
At least City summoned a response on this occasion, Marvin Elliott sending a shot over from the edge of the penalty area and Neil Danns testing Cark Ikeme for the first time in the match with a speculative drive.
But Wolves looked far more likely to add to their tally and Heaton made a fine save to keep out Sako's rising shot, while Roger Johnson sent a header crashing against the cross bar.
City were again fortunate to escape when Sako sent over another telling cross and Ebanks-Blake missed with an air shot when it appeared easier to score.
The home side did restore some pride five minutes from time, Danns beating Ikeme with a fierce drive from 30 yards out. But it was too little too late for Robins fans, who were streaming out if the stadium long before the end.
City (4-5-1): Heaton; Foster, Bates, Fontaine, Bryan; Adomah, Elliott, Kilkenny (Baldock 46), Danns, Pearson; Taylor (Davies 58).
Wolves (4-4-2): Ikeme; Foley, Johnson, Berra, Ward; Sigurdarson (Nouble 85), Edwards (Davis 60), Henry, Sako; Ebanks-Blake, Doyle (Forde 72).

Winter storm moving into San Diego County this weekend; weather watches, advisories go into effect
SAN DIEGO - The 10News Pinpoint Weather Team says a winter storm moving in from the Northwest will bring significant snowfall to the San Diego County mountains this weekend.
Weathercaster Robert Santos said snow in the mountains could occur even down to the 3,000-foot level Saturday morning and 2,500 feet by Saturday night.
Check Today's Forecast: http://bit.ly/18icjfj
The National Weather Service scheduled a winter storm watch for the mountains from late Friday night to Sunday morning.
A winter storm watch means there is the potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulation that may impact travel.
Two to five inches of snow accumulation was expected from 3,000 to 5,000 feet and up to a foot of snow was expected above 5,000 feet.
According to the NWS advisory, most of the snow will fall late Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon.
The storm will also bring strong and gusty westerly winds to the mountains and deserts.
Sustained westerly winds of 25 to 35 mph and widespread gusts up to 55 mph, with local gusts in excess of 60 mph, are possible at times, forecasters said.
A high wind watch for the deserts was expected to take effect late Friday and continue into Sunday morning. Also on Friday, a frost advisory was in effect until 9 a.m. for valley areas, where temperatures ranged from 28 to 36 degrees, according to the weather service.
San Diegans were encouraged to bring pets indoors and to cover sensitive outdoor plants.

For mariners, a small craft advisory for rough sea conditions was scheduled from Saturday morning to late Saturday night.
According to the advisory, the combination of steep seas and strong winds will create rough and choppy sea conditions, which will be hazardous for small craft. Starting Sunday morning, winds and seas will gradually diminish, resulting in continually improving boating conditions as the day goes on.

Bronx, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Mike Napoli snuck a solo home run over the wall in right center in the ninth inning to lift the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees, 2-1, in the middle test of a three-game AL East series.
Jon Lester and Masahiro Tanaka were engaged in a classic pitchers' duel, and Tanaka was the last to blink.
After getting David Ortiz to bounce into a double play, Tanaka tried blowing a 96-m.p.h. fastball past Napoli, who was late on the swing but got just enough to poke it into the first row of seats and break a 1-1 tie.
Koji Uehara pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to finish off a gem from Lester (9-7), who allowed only five singles, two walks and an unearned run over eight terrific innings to give Boston just its third win in its last nine games.
"It's nice to get a guy a win who goes out and pitches as well as he did," Napoli said, referring to Lester.
Tanaka (11-3) recorded his third complete game but dropped consecutive starts for the first time. The only other run he allowed came on David Ross' homer in the third.
"He pitched as well as he could possibly pitch," Yankees catcher Brian McCann said of his battery mate.
The Yankees were held hitless over the first five innings, yet they still pulled even in the third. Brian Roberts reached on Stephen Drew's error, moved to second when Yangervis Solarte was hit by a pitch and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt before scoring on Derek Jeter's groundout to short.
Tanaka wiggled out of a second-and-third, no-out jam in the third, then benefited from a replay reversal in the sixth when Jacoby Ellsbury threw out Dustin Pedroia trying to stretch a leadoff single into a double.
Brett Gardner recorded New York's first hit leading off the sixth but was promptly thrown out trying to steal second. The timing was unfortunate for the Yankees, as Jeter and Ellsbury followed with base hits and were stranded.
Despite the win, the Red Sox (37-44) are under .500 midway through the season
for the first time since 1997 ... Tanaka, who struck out eight and allowed
seven hits and a walk, has recorded a quality start in all 16 of his starts
this season, tying the MLB record to start a career set by Montreal's Steve
Rogers in 1973 ... Lester improved to 17-6 in his career against the Yankees
... Game time: 2:47.
