The Detroit Red Wings scored four goals in a 3:14 span in the third period Wednesday night, lifting them to a 7-3 win over the St. Louis Blues.
The game was tied 3-3 with 7:34 remaining when Danny Cleary scored his second goal of the night, snapping a shot from the right side of the slot past St. Louis goalie Jaroslav Halak off a pass from behind the net by Mike Modano.
Henrik Zetterberg made it 5-3 just 46 seconds later. Zetterberg carried the puck into the St. Louis zone and cut to the left wing boards before circling back through the left faceoff circle and wristing a shot past Halak on the near side.
Brad Stuart's power play blast gave Detroit a three-goal lead with 5:30 left in the period. Tomas Holmstrom rounded out the scoring with a power play deflection of a Brian Rafalski shot 1:10 later.
Drew Miller was credited with the game's first goal when Halak stopped his shot, then swatted the puck out of the air and into his own net in an attempt to clear the rebound.
Brad Boyes tied things up 1:32 later, sliding a backhander under Detroit netminder Jimmy Howard's pad.
Brad Winchester's power play goal made it 2-1 for St. Louis at 8:16 of the second period. Winchester jammed the puck home from in front of the net off a feed from Andy McDonald.
Justin Abdelkader redirected a Rafalski pass between Halak's pads with 6:18 left in the period to tie the game back up.
Cleary's first of the night put Detroit back up with 3:30 remaining in the second but McDonald replied 37 seconds later to make it 3-3.
St. Louis outshot the Red Wings 36-31 but Howard made 33 saves to Halak's 24, including a toe save with less than a second remaining in the first period and the game tied.
The Red Wings were two-for-five on the power play. The Blues went one-for-three.
The seven goals scored is Detroit's highest offensive output of the season.
No real pre-game notes tonight. Miller is back in for Eaves, no other lineup changes.
I'll probably join in a little late, we'll see.
That's two that the goalies want back. I've allowed goals like the one Howard just gave up, always p*sses me off.
Red Wings came out slow and were sloppy at times. Blues came ready to go and have been solid. Goalie gaffes at each end and it's 1-1.
Neither team is probably thrilled by that. The Wings won't like the late start and the Blues probably think they should be winning. If not for that last stop by Jimmy, they would be.
Random semi-on-topic question, but for all of you people with FSN-D/+, did your channels change this year? Ours did, and I haven't been able to watch a game on FSN-D + this season and I can't figure out if it's just our cable provider or not.
Right now both channels are playing the basketball game. I mean, really? What's up with that.
Mickey jinxed it. He had to say something about that shift being important. Who was supposed to be on MacDonald?
Trying to listen to Ken Kal via USB modem. 97.1 comes in and out. Missed the last goal.
Make that the last two goals.
That's how the power play is supposed to work. And that's why Stuie should be on the power play, like I've said.
Trying to listen to Ken Kal via USB modem. 97.1 comes in and out. Missed the last goal.

I hope you're getting the feed now. Their commentary should be good.
7-3 and Lids is still -1 for the game? Am I seeing things?
Crazy game. Really, the Wings haven't played that well.
Have you ever seen a game where one team won by four and you're not sure they should have won at all?That's kind of where I sit on tonight's game. Subtracting a four-minute period of complete domination, I wasn't very happy with how the Red Wings were playing.Even after Danny Cleary broke the tie with about 7:30 left in the third, I was thinking that the game reminded me of Detroit's October 23 win over Anaheim, which I also said the Wings deserved to lose.The first three powerplays were sloppy. The Wings were giving the puck away all over the place. The forecheck was awful. The first goal was pure luck.Four minutes in the third period made none of that matter but it shouldn't be forgotten. The Red Wings did not play a great game here. Thankfully, they turned it on at the exact time that the Blues collapsed so it didn't matter.
We were at this game, too, and this time I saw the same game you saw (2 periods of awful, interspersed with an occasional bright spot, and one period of sheer brilliance)....NOT surprised that the Blues went "goon squad", and figure there will be hell to pay when they meet again. I disagreed with the 3 stars to an extent...thought maybe Jimmy should have been one of them.

Making the most of the big game weekend, Victoria's Secret rolled out a promotional video chock full of Angel appeal.
Adding to the already-festive holiday spirit, the Angels of Victoria's Secret have a very special video version of "The 12 Days of Christmas."
Tonight (December 8) the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show hits the CBS airwaves, and on Monday (December 7) a few Angels paid a visit to Stephen Colbert on the set of "The Late Show."
She's one of the most beautiful women in the world, and Adriana Lima pretty much has her choice of men to keep her company.
During her interview on "Watch What Happens Live" last night (December 3) the Brazilian supermodel was asked by host Andy Cohen, "I read somewhere that you and Justin Bieber hung out. Did you two ever date?"
Taking over an east side armory in New York City, the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show got underway last night (November 10) with plenty of celebrity guests.
It's become a seasonal tradition for lingerie lovers the world over, and the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is coming back to New York City this winter!
Earlier today (October 1) the popular brand announced that this year's extravaganza will air on December 8th at 10:00pm on the CBS Network.
He's always been a fan of going his own way, and Marc Jacobs wouldn't settle for anything less than the best for his new campaign- hence, he hired Adriana Lima.
The Brazilian knockout is all kinds of sexy in the just-released images, wearing flirty black frocks and captivating the camera with her unforgettable eyes.
The fashion modeling industry is full of fierce competition, and Forbes just released the 2015 Highest-Paid Models List, including a couple of new additions.
Not surprisingly, Gisele Bundchen is the #1 earner once again, bringing home $44 million over the past year thanks to her congracts with Carolina Herrera, Chanel Beauty and Under Armour.

I am doing my first TRI this September, and I have a little bit different case than most. In october i will be having ankle surgery... if i run more than 3x/week my joint will swell and I will not be able to walk for 2-3 days (let alone train)... i have been spending most of my time in the pool and on the bike (which i am not very fast on either 1:50/100m pool and 21mph bike avg over 15m TT). Today is my first bike/run workout, and have been running 1-2x week shorter distances.
I have done 1/2 marathons and obviously just trained with running for those, how far do you guys/gals feel your general fitness can take you in your TRI training for race day?

1993 Buick Regal Gran Sport 4dr Sedan
My regal is currently at 287k miles, and closing in on 300k fast. This is hands down the most reliable car our family has owned.
Repairs over the last 14 years:
Alternator x2
Fuel pump
Rear struts
Brake pads/front rotors
Transmission cooler lines x2
Rear motor mount
Turn signal switch
And that's basically it, minus routine oil changes and minor tune ups. All repairs well under $250 and most done by me to save.
The engine is perfect for this car. It's very quiet when you want it, and makes a pretty awesome growl when you drop the pedal. I've been 90 mph down the interstate and held a perfect straight line with plenty of power still on tap
Reliability Beefy V6 engine with good mileage Smooth ride Comfort Great radio Huge trunk space Seats six Good leg room for back seat passengers Parts easy to get and are relativley cheap
To be honest, basic maintenace is a tad tricky on this car. I have to jack up and remove the passenger side front wheel to get access to the oil filter for oil changes. The 3 rear spark plugs are a pain to get to as well. Although I've had no issue with the A/C system yet, it looks like it would be a tad expensive to get it repaired. The compressor is mounted in a very odd place, as well as the A/C lines, and look tricky to service.
1993 Buick Regal Custom 4dr Sedan
Bought from the dealer, Carfax reported only one owner - A little old lady. !993 with no rust new tires and 72,000 miles. The suspension is amazingly smooth. I personally like the way it floats. The new cars don't even come close to the comfort of the Regal. At first the dash was weird, but controls have a nice lay-out. Performance with the 3.8 liter V6 is excellent. It will leave black marks down the road. Interstate driving is a breeze and power is there when you need it. The transmission is just as smooth as the right. Overall its a boat, but still a blast to drive.
Performance, It has power. And the ride, the suspension is like driving on a soft cloud.
More heater/cooling options without turning the A/C compressor on. There are only 2 buttons, Vent and Htr, that won't activate the A/C compressor if its over 50 degrees out
1993 Buick Regal Gran Sport 2dr Coupe
Just a super nice car, very solid, excellent build quailty,I really enjoy driving it to work, gym around town, basically everywhere. Would hesitate to take it out of town. Just a nice all around car. My only complaint is more power,the car would be a perfect 10 with 50 more horses under the hood. would by another one in a heart beat!
gran prix style steer wheel(1993 only) dual climate control, a ton of gauges, 4 wheel disc brakes, automatic antenna,automatic key hole and dash illumination when key is inserted, flush door handles, nothing now, but hi tech in 1993
front brakes, wear pre-maturely, steering is heavy, great for lond distant traveling not so great around town...
1993 Buick Regal Custom 4dr Sedan
I received this vehicle as a gift in May of 2004 from my Grandpa (he was the original owner). In over 5 years of ownership I've had to replace certain things, such as: alternator, brakes (pads and calipers), RF window motor, and a few other minor things. Overall, the car has been great. It has 196*** kms, which I'm hoping to make it to 200,000 without any issues. This was/is an absolutely great car, and I will hate to see it go, but it's getting close to the time to move on. Anyone thinking about buying a Buick...don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed!
The seats are very comfortable, there is plenty of cabin/trunk space, all controls are easily within reach, and the 3.1L V6 has been amazing! Also, I think this is one of the last models to offer 6 person seating in this type of vehicle - which can be nice when needed.
The gauges were designed a little small for this generation (took some time getting used to). There was only one good cup holder (which I broke). Otherwise, everything else is great for a 1993!
1993 Buick Regal Gran Sport 4dr Sedan

Your thoughts on pink hats

If you own a blue hat, you're a fan. If you own a pink hat, your boyfriend is a fan.

posted at 6/26/2008 6:30 AM EDTA beef from the long suffering Sox fans about the newcomers wearing pink? Please!!!!!! As an early 1960's fan I could care less about the attire and welcome new fans. It is much more disconcerning when the ownership is auctioning off monster seats to the highest bidder to continue to line their pockets. Now that's a scandal.

Sorry your wife can be so easily controlled. If she wants a pink hat then let her have one.
Besides, when (if) the Cubs win a World Series all the wanna be, supposedly die-hard Sox fans will be wearing Cubs hats of every color.
Lighten up everbody.

These Suzie Come Latelies get their boyfriends to buy them a cute hat, take up a seat a real fan could really appreciate and then just talk on the phone, gets up and in the way in the middle of a 3-2 count to get something to eat and has her boyfriend explain the game as its going on all night long with the rest of us knowing she isn't retaining any of it.
Green hats, yellow hats baby blue hats and PINK hats = Lame fair weather fans.

My only beef is that wear these hideous ghetto New Era caps are not real fans. Since the '04 Series many more are proud to wear Sox gear, whereas before they felt unsure of themselves or would rather be a billboard for A&F, Ecko, Sean John, you name it. They simply want to be associated with a winner. If i had it my way anyone between the ages of 19 and 60 would first have to name all 7 members of the bullpen as a prerequisite for purchasing any sort of Red Sox attire.

Regarding RedSox13, I am in COMPLETE agreement. I am a woman and diehard redsox fan, go to 15 games a year, and I would not be caught dead in pink baseball attire - pink regular clothes, sure, why not, but NOT Pink Sox stuff. And for that matter, purple, light blue, yellow...they should all go.
The team colors are the team colors...plus the occasional nuetral background of white, or grey on a shirt.
There are plenty of "pink hats" that are men too, but they can hide behind the regular team colors.
As a woman who is a true fan, I feel I am constantly defending my knowledge and real fanship because of the recent inundation of "pink hats". It's hard enough to get any respect as a woman fan of a sport, why diminish your respect by wearing pink.
It's just wrong - as far as I'm concerned it should be banished from the ball park. And one day when I have a daughter, and she wants pink, I will explain to her she can have anything else she wants, because real fans wear the team colors.
Your thoughts on pink hats
posted at 6/26/2008 6:36 AM EDTComplaining about "pink hats" is not an attack on women although to stifle discussion of the larger topic at hand it is certainly a useful strategy. The problem is that so many of the people who claim to like the team know so little about the game or why things are done as they are by the players and management staff or how difficult it is for the people playing, coaching, scouting and umping the games on a daily basis to get to and stay at the ml level. There is a large dedicated audience composed of people from both genders and all races who do know these things and are the best fans in mlb then there are the people who go to the games because it is the trendy thing to do and yell and scream at the players, manager or umps when something doesn't work out for the sox. They are the pink hats and they come in both genders.
I often like to joke with people that there is a whole other league that plays at the ml level and people might enjoy watching some of that too. I started doing this when, during the 04 series, I found myself having to explain to so called sox fans about the reasons why the Cardinals were doing what they were doing in terms of making runs, double switches and the like. .
The complaint isn't about women, it is about so called fans who only go to this because it is trendy and will move on once the team has another bad ending as they did in 06 when it suddenly became very easy to get tickets as the season wound down. On the other hand, having them around is the cost of success and, as a sox fan, the best you can do is educate them if possible or ignore if necessary. the bigger part of the problem is the sox marketing staff who've decided that promising people a winning team all the time and a focus on things other than baseball is the way to go. That's why Theo putting his foot down a couple of years ago was so great because it meant that somebody over there pays attention to building the product on the field all the time and has authority over that.

Wait till they have a loosing season and we will see how many pinkys are at Fenway.[/Quote]
well that might be the case for most - not for everyone. i am a die hard fan. i was raised in a sox house and never miss a game. so before you judge everyone with a pink hat - think again.

If you are at a game and you get a pink hat in front of you can be sure that they will be on the phone, getting up and blocking your view at every impotrant at bat there is to get a drink or go to the ladies room and /or will have their boyfriend explainging everything that is going on, every second of the entire game, with the rest of us stuck within ear shot knowing full well, pink hat really doesn't care and she isn't retaining any of it.

posted at 6/26/2008 6:40 AM EDTHey, Jacques, WHo the heck do you think you are, that you get to determine who is a 'real' sox fan and who is not? Sounds to me like you have an oversized sense of self-importance, probably to make up for being undersized elsewhere in your anatomy. Get a life, you loser. What a sick joke you are.
[Quote]My only beef is that wear these hideous ghetto New Era caps are not real fans. Since the '04 Series many more are proud to wear Sox gear, whereas before they felt unsure of themselves or would rather be a billboard for A&F, Ecko, Sean John, you name it. They simply want to be associated with a winner. If i had it my way anyone between the ages of 19 and 60 would first have to name all 7 members of the bullpen as a prerequisite for purchasing any sort of Red Sox attire. [/Quote]

The city of Boston has changed dramatically throughout the past 2 decades. The downfall of the Irish Mob, the yuppification of the old neighborhoods like Southie and Charlestown.
The locals are having to put up with alot of change in our beloved city.
The Red Sox are our team. Fans take their Red Sox very personally.
With the Red Sox recent success, and with the signing of high profile players like Pedro and Manny, suddenly the Red Sox tickets started to become difficult to get. Much like the plentiful parking in southie, buying bleacher seats on the day of the game are long gone.
People don't realize that Fenway belongs to the fans as much as the Red Sox do. The original fans can remember the shirtless fans brawling in the bleachers. I remember as a kid that I would watch the bleachers more than the game cause I didn't want to miss a fight. If you got stuck in a long line at the bathroom you could get back to your seat and ask anyone in your section what you missed and you'd get a knowledgeble and concise update.
Fans in the old Fenway knew their team and loved their park.
It had character.
The new Fenway has too many corporate fans. Too many people who are willing to pay too much money just because the Red Sox are the popular team now. We have to sit through games listening to the conversations of the people around us. Businessmen treating the game like a meeting and clueless out of towners who know nothing and are just happy to be there.
The pink hats have come to personify those people. No character, just bandwagoneers. Only at the game to be seen and to be able to say to their coworker that they were there.
Most couldn't even give you the current lineup if you asked.
That's L.A. Boston isn't L.A. We are the anti L.A.
Pink hats in Fenway?
If you're going to go to Fenway but your not a real fan, have some respect for the locals. Your in their park, if they find pink hats offensive, don't wear them.
Your thoughts on pink hats
posted at 6/26/2008 6:44 AM EDTThese discussions are amazing. All about the color of a hat and largely unfounded inferences about what that says about its wearer.
I do not know how the pink hat trend got started. But I know two women who are diehard Sox fans like me (a Mass native, life-long, mid-50s, but I'm a guy) who wear them. They do not know each other, so their independent responses to my question about why they wear the pink hat seems to suggest at least one pattern: They both wear pink accessories, including hats, as a breast cancer awareness statement; regardless of what MLB designates to be pink for BC awareness, some women have decided that pink worn by a woman is the universal code for BC awareness.
So before any more folks imply that all 'pink hatters' must be 'sunshine fans' or 'newbies,' or whatever other clever negative attribute they can think up, please be aware that some of those pink-hat wearing women are true Sox fans who have also lost mothers or sisters to breast cancer and are concerned for their own health, and are trying to raise awareness by wearing pink in any form they can. In other words, unless you KNOW the person, be careful what motive(s) you apply to their hat choice.

posted at 6/26/2008 6:44 AM EDTHow is this news, and secondly who cares? Do you take issue with people whoe wear yellow or baby blue hats? It is just a color. Any store selling caps has a whole rainbow of colors, pink is just one of them. it is fascinating that the color hated is pink because for the most part only women would wear these. Are you implying all female fans are posers?
Honestly, does it really matter if someone is new to liking a sport? Are they infringing on your rights by enjoying a baseball game? Maybe you should focus on things like sanctions on North Korea getting dropped, the housing market falling even further or the drastic decline of the Dollar. These are the things THAT MATTER and actually have an affect on YOUR LIFE.

posted at 6/26/2008 6:46 AM EDTI hate the pink hats. The pink hats love Coco because he has a cute name that matches the name on their sunglasses. The pink hats spend more time texting their pink-hatted friends than watching the game. The pink hats are up out of their seats on the way to the bathroom AGAIN? The pink hats only know the players on the Red Sox. The pink hats have no sense of history - they only started watching in '04. The pink hats think the wave and "Sweet Caroline" are the best parts of a Red Sox game.
Even my six year old daughter wears a real, blue Red Sox hat.
C'mon, pink hats - admit you don't even like baseball....
Your thoughts on pink hats
posted at 6/26/2008 6:49 AM EDTI am regularly asked by my in-laws and friends why I haven't "converted" to being a Sox or Pats fan. They say: "You have lived here for almost five years now and this is your home now- why don't you root for them???"
I always respectfully reply that I greatly respect Boston teams and envy them and the fans- but that is as far as I will go. When asked why I say that as a life long Philadelphia fan who can't even remember one sports championship in my lifetime, I would rather be MISERABLE and LOYAL than bandwagon. This pretty much defines what Boston fans have been for years and years and now all of the sudden- where did this major fan base come from? Where were all the Pats fans across the country when I was a kid? Where were all of the Sox fans? This is a recent phenom which I am sure will happen in Philly one day if they ever start winning like crazy.
I find it humorous to meet up with high school or college acquaintences that have since moved to Boston from PA and low and behold, they are wearing Sox caps or Pats jerseys (pink hats included). Guess they forgot what loyalty was all about...
Further- I think the article makes good light that much of this strife is centered around the gentrification of Fenway and the Sox. As the area around the park becomes one of the trendier sections of the city and prices rises, in addition to the insane cost of tickets now- I am sure many are feeling the angst that comes along with "the beautiful people" being able to enjoy all the Sox have to offer (including "pink/green hats" who are actually from Maryland or something who spend the game on cell phones and 'networking') and then everyone else now has to pack in at the Cask or stay home. In other cities, people can get to games and they can hit the bars around the park, Boston has changed and much of all of this sound to me just like growing pains and being adverse to change.
But then again- the team has changed to. When I was a kid all the way until they won the first Series- they were the spunky little team that could, the underdog you wanted to root for. Now, especially when looking at ticket prices and payrolls- they are just as corporate as the oh-so-hated Yankees.
Thank goodness for ther NL- maybe not as good, but nowhere near the drama...

posted at 6/26/2008 6:50 AM EDTWHY DO REAL FANS wear NON TEAM COLORS anyway? I have never understood this. Clearly you are more interested in fashion than the team if you are rocking sox gear in off the wall colors (pink or otherwise).
The Pink hat has become a metaphore to encompass all bandwagoners, and those who fall into the category are the biggest joke going......I don't lose sleep over it, like the article implies, but in general the pink hat is a dead giveaway that you are just at Fenway to be seen. And if you know nothing about the team and just suddenly get all excited when they are winning, you'll be called a pink hat.
Your thoughts on pink hats
posted at 6/26/2008 6:50 AM EDTSuccess in any sport is going to bring in new fans. Don't the owners want to put a good product on the field/court/ice in order to attract as many fans as possible? If you were an owner of ANY business, wouldn't you try to get more customers?
This pink hat stuff is a little silly. In all sports, whenever a team is successful there will be more fans. This is the way it is so I don't know why people would be upset.
You can't have it both ways. Either a team is successful and tickets will be difficult to get, or a team stinks and nobody wants to spend money to see them. This is nothing new and has nothing to do with the color of any hat.

No, thats business. I know in candyland they only play professional sports for the competition and "for the fun of it", but in the end its a business, big business. Which ironically is why they offer pink hats for sale to begin with.

German Roast Beef or Rinderbraten (some say also Rindsbraten) is a typical dish for Sunday lunches, birthday dinners or any festive occasion. It is always served with gravy, comes with side dishes such as Brussels sprouts (or cauliflower with carrots and peas) and Spaetzle. It is very delicious. In a so called "German Gasthaus" which is serving home made cooking, they will serve a Rinderbraten in a home made gravy, and if it is a good restaurant, they even will serve you home made Spaetzle. Happy Cooking!
If you like to read more about how the roast beef came to America click here to read more...
Ingredients German Beef Roast
600 g joint of beef
3 tbsp mustard, Pepper, salt, red pepper powder (paprika)
2-3 tbsp clarified butter
1 medium sized onion
1 leek
celery leaves and root
1-2 garlic cloves
100 g mushrooms (white or brown)
1/8 liter red wine (red cooking wine)
1/8 liter broth
3 tbsp heavy cream
3 tbsp corn starch
Side Dishes
150 g pasta (preferably Spaetzle)
500 g Brussels sprouts
2 tbsp butter
Cooking Instructions German Beef Roast
The meat will become very tender if you spread a thin layer of mustard over the meat before you broil it. The recommended meat for this recipe is the beef shoulder.
- Dry the meat with paper towels;
- Add mustard into a bowl and mix it with salt, pepper, and paprika;
- Spread mustard evenly over the meat and massage it into it;
- Heat lard in a skillet and fry the meat from all sides;
- Take meat out of the pot, wrap it in aluminum foil and keep it warm;
- Peel onion, cut it in rough pieces; clean leek and slice it; chop celery root and stem into cubes; peel garlic and cut it in pieces; clean mushrooms and cut them in pieces;
- By using the same pot which you used for the meat (in the same fat) fry all the vegetable and glaze it with red wine
- Let it cook for a little bit (some minutes on low heat); you will get the important meat stock.
- Put meat together with the stock back into the stewing pan and let it cook on low heat (stock should not boil) so it is braising;
- Put a lid on and let it braise for at least 90 minutes;
- Take meat out of the pan, wrap it in aluminum foil and keep it warm;
How to make the Gravy
- Puree the vegetable and drain the stock;
- Add the broth (vegetable broth, organic, home made);
- Put cream into a bowl and stir in starch flour, mix it;
- Bring stock to a boil and mix in the starch (you should get a creamy gravy, not too thick and not too thin);
- Return the meat to the gravy.
How to make side dishes
- Cook Spaetzle per instructions - Go to the recipe for home made Spaetzle -
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts and boil them in water until they are soft; melt some butter and toss them in the butter; add salt, pepper anssome nutmeg;
- Take the meat out of the gravy and cut slices with a sharp knife horizontal (thick as a finger).

text: Shelley Heideman Push Continues For School Funding Overhaul By Hannah Meisel • Aug 19, 2014 Wikimedia Commons As students across Illinois begin the new school year their schools are using funds that rely heavily on property tax wealth. But supporters of a new plan say now is the time to change that. Illinois' school funding formula works like this: school districts collect property taxes from their residents, then depending on how property-wealthy or property-poor an area is, the state pitches in its share. That frequently means poorer districts stay poor because the state can't give enough, and wealthier districts remain wealthy.

Casio Exilim EX-FH100
Category: Travel Zoom Compact Camera
Casio Exilim EX-FH100
MP | 24-240mm (10X) ZOOM | $284/£263
The Casio Exilim EX-FH100 was one of four Exilim models announced in January, and is designed for versatility and speed. As well as a 10x optical zoom, which covers a useful 24-240mm range, the FH100 also offer's Casio's 'Burst Shooting' (BS for short... no, really) mode which allows up to 30 images to be captured at a rate of 40fps. Resolution drops in this mode, but not by a lot - only from 10 to 9 million pixels. The FH100 is impressively fast in video mode too, and can capture movies at up to 1000fps, albeit at a very limited resolution of 224x64 pixels. Higher definition video (720p) can be captured at a much more sensible 30fps in the motion JPEG format.
- 10.0 effective Megapixels
- Back-illuminated CMOS sensor
- 24-240mm equiv lens
- CCD Shift image stabilization
- 720p HD video (motion JPEG)
- 3.0 inch LCD with 230,000 dots
- 40fps burst mode (at 9Mp)
- 1000fps video mode (at 224x64px)
- Raw capture (ISO 100 and 200 only)
- SD/SDHC compatible
- 89.5Mb internal memory
- Mini HDMI output
- ISO sensitivity up to 3200
- Battery life: 310 shots (CIPA standard)
Click here to view the original news story and full specification (opens in new window)
The Casio Exilim EX-FH100 is a neat little camera, which weighs more than it looks like it should. This, coupled with the all metal body lends it a real air of quality. This impression is backed up by the well-spaced buttons scattered around the body, and only let down slightly by a small but noticeable looseness in the zoom rocker switch around the shutter release.
In terms of its specifications, the Casio Exilim EX-FH100 can probably claim to be the most 'high-tech' of all of the cameras in this test. Although its zoom range is exceeded by some of the other models in this group, and the same back-illuminated CMOS sensor also finds its way into a couple of its competitors, the FH100 does have a couple of unique features - high speed burst and ultra high-speed video. It is easy to dismiss these features as gimmicks, and it is true that you're unlikely to need 40fps shooting all that often in a compact camera, but this doesn't mean that the feature is without value. We're less enamored by the 1000fps video capture though - whilst it is fun to mess around bursting bubbles and throwing water bombs to see what they look like in extreme slow-motion, the 224x64px resolution of the footage is too small to be of much practical use, even on a web page.
As far as the more 'traditional' features are concerned, the FH100 offers a decent core specification, without being outstanding. Although manual and aperture control settings are included, it isn't actually possible to manually stop down the aperture. Like the Fujifilm Finepix F80EXR, the Casio offers the choice of two aperture settings at any given focal length, but the smaller of the two is in fact an equivalent setting arrived at via a neutral density filter. The advantage of this trickery is that diffraction isn't an issue, but the downside is that if you're expecting to be able to control depth of field, you can't. Shutter speeds can be adjusted in 1/3EV steps, however, which makes shutter priority mode genuinely useful, if you don't mind trusting entrusting ISO sensitivity selection to the camera.
Also included - uniquely amongst cameras in this group test - is a raw capture mode, which records DNG format raw files at ISO 100 and 200 (but no higher). We're always enthusiastic about raw mode in compact cameras in theory, but there are generally some disadvantages - chief among them being a negligible increase in image quality in some cases, and a noticeable decrease in operational speed. Sadly the Casio falls at this latter hurdle. Although better images can definitely be coaxed out of the sensor in raw mode, the 15 second delay after shooting a raw file before you can do anything with the camera makes it much less useful than it could be.
Key Features
Image quality and performance
In terms of performance, the Casio Exilim EX-FH100 is something of a mixed bag. In operation it is very responsive, with virtually zero shutter lag once focus has been acquired, and both playback and menu navigation are swift and smooth. However, startup time is a disappointing 3 seconds, and although a raw shooting option is tempting, the close to 14 second processing time after taking a shot is unacceptable. The shot-to-shot time in JPEG capture mode is a respectable 2.5sec (approx) but around 1 second of this time is taken up with reacquisition of AF.
In normal continuous shooting mode (i.e. not HS mode) the FH100 can manage a pretty paltry one frame every 2.5 seconds, but again, this lag is partly due to AF reacquisition, which is automatic unless AF is turned off. In MF mode, continuous shooting speed increases to a blistering one frame every 1.75 seconds. To get the fastest frame rates from the FH100, you need to activate 'HS' in the shooting menu, which unlocks the headline 40fps shooting feature, but this does come with some penalties. Focusing is locked, resolution drops to 9MP output, and image quality drops further than a decrease of 1MP would suggest. Add to this the approximately 15 second wait after shooting a burst before the camera is ready to take another picture and the function starts to look like something of a gimmick.
These issues aside, the Casio is a pleasant and satisfying camera to use, and its key systems - AF, white balance and metering - are accurate and reliable in most of the situations in which we used it. We found that the Casio has a tendency to slightly overcook Caucasian skintones in flash shots, but in general, the balance between ambient and flash light is very natural. The Casio also struggles slightly with mixed interior lighting, but this is far from unusual, even in much higher-end cameras.
Like all of the cameras in this group, the FH100 can't deliver the same level of pixel-level detail in low contrast environmentsas it can in bright conditions, and towards the upper end of its ISO span, noise reduction coupled with aggressive edge sharpening combine to obliterate fine detail. As you can see from our various high ISO tests, however, although 'true' pixel-level detail is all but absent in the FH100's high ISO images, the appearance of detail is well preserved, which means that the Casio delivers amongst the best looking high ISO pictures in small prints and at screen size.
The Exilim EX-FH100 is the only camera in this group test to offer a raw capture option, but even in JPEG mode, it produces impressively sharp, detailed images at the lower end of its ISO scale. For critical work, the Casio's DNG files do offer a better starting point for more in-depth manipulation, but raw mode is of far less use on this camera than it might be on a DSLR or higher-end compact, due to the astonishingly long wait between capturing a raw image and the camera being available for another shot.
The 10x zoom lens is a good performer too, and is capable of good sharpness throughout its zoom range, managing to render a lot of detail even at its longest telephoto setting. Importantly, sharpness is close to uniform across the frame at all focal lengths, and images from the FH100 are free from the obvious corner softness that afflicts some of the other cameras in this test. Although close examination of high-contrast edges reveals the tell-tale traces of chromatic aberration, the Casio's JPEG engine does a very good job of effectively removing it from the images. Fringing is visible in raw files, but in the JPEGs, it is all but undetectable except at 100%. Likewise distortion, which is fairly high in raw files, but again, essentially absent in JPEGs, thanks to effective in-camera processing (see 'In-camera distortion correction' below).
In-camera distortion correction
Putting wide-ranging zoom lenses into cameras as small as the FH100 is a huge technical challenge, and one of the solutions is to perform a certain amount of image correction in-camera, to iron out the problems before you even see them. The most common solution is to allow some distortion in the lens design, then straighten out the lines in processing. Purists may recoil from such blatant fakery, but the simple fact is that without software correction of this type, these types of cameras couldn't exist.
Without a doubt, all of the cameras in this test employ a certain amount of in-camera processing to address distortion, but without untouched raw files to look at, the extent to which lens distortion is controlled with software is impossible to tell. As an experiment, we took the same shot in JPEG and raw and ran the file through Adobe Camera RAW, to strip out any automatic correction. The results are shown below.
As you can see, the Casio is applying a considerable amount of distortion correction to its JPEG files before they're written to the card (watch the railings in the lower part of the image especially). It is a virtual certainty that all of the cameras in this test do the same thing to some extent, but only the Casio can output a raw file, which allows us to prove it. Click on the main images for high-res versions, and notice how much grainier the raw file is compared to the JPEG. As well as distortion, the Casio's processing does a pretty good job of reducing noise in its JPEG files as well.
The Casio's sensor (like all compacts) is far better suited to bright, contrasty environments than to low light, where high ISO settings are necessary. Although its high ISO files aren't the worst of the cameras in this test, we are not yet convinced that the FH100's back side illuminated CMOS technology actually makes all that much difference in low light than a more conventional CCD.
Overall, the FH100 is a really enjoyable camera to use, and as well as excellent image quality, it offers arguably the best build quality of any of the compacts in this group. It is no coincidence that of all the cameras in this group test, the Casio was the model most likely to be taken out of the office by one of the dpreview team to shoot an evening out, a wedding, or weekend away. Image quality is high at low ISO settings, and quality obsessives (and masochists) can get even more out of ISO 100 and 200 files by shooting raw. We have some reservations about the sensor-based image stabilization, and we can't help thinking that the Casio's various 'high speed' modes are something of a gimmick, but these are relatively minor criticisms.
We like: Lovely image quality at low ISO settings, great video, raw mode, generally fast operation, sharp lens, very reliable metering/WB, excellent battery life and build quality.
We don't like: Image quality at high ISO settings isn't fantastic, extremely slow operation in raw mode
Build quality
Ergonomics & handling
Exposure and focus accuracy
Image quality (raw)
Image quality (jpeg)
Flash performance
Low light / high ISO performance
Performance (speed)
Movie / video mode
The Casio Exilim FH100 combines excellent build quality with some of the sharpest, most detailed still and video output of any camera in this group test. We're hugely impressed by the quality of its output, and the high-speed modes are an added bonus.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I dont anything will happen, literally... Both kinds are made to be disolved under the tongue so they seep into the blood stream. Swallowing them bypasses that straight into the stomach. Although I am sure some may get into your blood stream by swallowing them its not nearly the amount u need to do the job... Hence, under the tongue works the best. I know the taste is horrid but... I love wintergreen life savers and when ever I have to take me suboxone tab.. ( never tried the film and wont ) I could bare the taste cause I have been told by someone who has taken both, they all taste gross... Good Luck

Yes, you should take it under the tounge, I used to take the tablets and i recently switched to the films (Insurance). I actually like the films a lot better than the tabs because they disolve much quicker... i know the taste sucks but i got used to it after a while. It helps to drink water before (not during) you take your films so it disolves easily... Good Luck :)

I am probably the only one who prefers the tablet over the film any day of the week. The film would almost make me puke, I'm taking 32mg a day, and I just now got generic tablets hooray! When I was first prescribed the tabs my insurance didn't cover anything and it was choking me out of $1000 a month just for the Suboxone. I found that Butterfinger candy bars work very well at killing the taste.

Unfortunately, citron is a bit ambiguous as it's used one way by pastry chefs (usually short for glace lemons or citron glace), one way by people trying to translate Korean or Japanese, and another way by Africans, another way by French people... I'm sure there are more.
Yuzu is hard to come by but you'll start to see it at the Seattle location of Uwajimaya at about $25-50/lb, often underripe and tiny, sometime this fall. There is one guy growing yuzu in Washington, from what I hear, with the intention of commercial production.
Decent yuzu juice can currently be found in Uwajimaya's refrigerated section, but availability varies. 200 ml is $11 or so, fairly decent quality.

It was excellent. The company is beautifully trained; their work so clean. I'm not such a fan of Balanchine, but they do it beautifully. The 2 pas de deux, especially, Liturgy, were gorgeous and the Tharp was a lot of fun and wonderfully danced. I love that they have a live orchestra. This is a firstrate company.

The dancing was superb-completely first rate. The program was also excellent, although we did not enjoy the main piece (the Twyla Tharp work) as much as the first three.

Achuar Immersion with a Shamanic Emphasis
Dates: October 1–13, 2014
Leader: Ruel Walker
Cost: $2,995
This journey will have an in-depth visit at the visionary Achuar community of Sharamentsa with accommodations in their newly constructed traditional, simple and comfortably-designed community lodge.
Prior to entering the forest, we'll have the ideal introduction to Ecuador and the indigenous worldview through an inspiring extended immersion with the Karanqui, Quichua people of San Clemente on the flanks of the sacred Imbabura volcano.
This trip will be a shamanic journey in the sense that throughout the trip participants will be invited to communicate with, honor, and learn from spirits – local spirits of the land, plants, trees, animals, mountains, ancestors, and communities. The journey leader, Ruel Walker, is a longtime Pachamama Alliance staff person who has studied and practiced shamanic rituals for more than 20 years, based on his work with Michael Harner, Angeles Arrien and other leading teachers.
A moderate level of physical fitness and a willingness to walk are necessary since the stay in both the Andes and rainforest will require regular hiking.
Itinerary is subject to change
We recommend having a day or more on the front and back side of the formal itinerary to acclimate, rest, integrate and see Quito if you wish. Those personal reservations for hotel and airport transfer can be made through Cafe Cultura. Pachamama Journeys will arrange lodging at Café Cultura for Wednesday night.
Wednesday, October 1
Arrival in Quito. Group stays at the charming hotel, Café Cultura.
Thursday, October 2
After breakfast and an orientation meeting at Café Cultura, we'll head north to the scenic Andean region of Otavalo where we'll explore the open-aired indigenous artisan market displaying the crafts and culture of the Otavalan Quichua people. Next, we'll visit with a Quichua elder shaman for a healing and purification ceremony, before arriving at San Clemente, an indigenous-owned community-based project situated on the flanks of the sacred Imbabura volcano. Dinner and accommodations with our gracious host families.
Friday, October 3
Join your family in making fresh corn tortillas over a fire and enjoy other locally-grown foods for breakfast. We'll learn about the background and history of the Karanqui people and the project of San Clemente, including the Andean calendar and cosmo-vision. Then we'll spend time on the land with the community doing agricultural activities (oxen plow, planting/harvesting crops, grinding corn, etc.). Lunch will be a traditional feast with local foods grown in the community. We'll be guided on a walk to learn about native medicinal plants used by the community. Dinner with families.
Saturday, October 4
After breakfast with families, we'll set out on long hike up the sacred Imbabura volcano, sharing a picnic lunch at the high altitude with sweeping views. We'll rest upon return and have dinner with families followed by cultural sharing and celebration, including traditional Andean music.
Sunday, October 5
After breakfast and farewells with our indigenous families, we'll embark on a beautiful drive, visiting the center of the world (equator) along the way – descending the Andes through the avenue of the volcanoes and the mysterious cloud forests until we reach the gateway to the Amazon rainforest. Dinner and evening discussion about entering the rainforest and the Achuar territory at our verdant and relaxing hotel, El Jardin, located on the outskirts of Puyo. Special visit and conversation with a well-known enthnobotanist who has deep knowledge about the traditions and shamanic practices of the rainforest.
Monday, October 6
Head to the nearby town of Shell where we'll take a 45-minute flight deep into the Amazon rainforest to the Achuar village of Sharamentsa. Here we will stay for 5 nights in the newly completed community lodge constructed in traditional Achuar design and situated idyllically on the banks of the Pastaza river. After a community welcome with the fermented manioc staple beverage, chicha, we'll have introductions with community members and be shown around this progressive community that is integrating practical outside tools to improve their quality of life while fiercely protecting their ancient traditions and culture. In the afternoon, we'll set out on a hike into the lush forest with our Achuar guides who will show us how the Achuar live in an interconnected way with their environment, using plants, palms and foods collected from the forest.
Tuesday, October 7
We'll be invited to partake in an early morning dream sharing ritual, one the Achuar perform each day over gourds of energy-enhancing guayusa green-tea, to purify and gain essential insight and guidance on how to live and what to do each day. After breakfast, e'll head back into the forest to learn about medicinal plants and the Achuar's unique cosmo-vision and spiritual practices, visiting a sacred waterfall where we'll participate in a purification ceremony and have some quiet, contemplative time in the forest. In the evening, we'll be invited by an Achuar elder to participate in a shamanic ceremony.
Wednesday, October 8
After a leisurely breakfast, we'll have a debrief conversation with the shaman followed by considerable free time for rest and reflection to journal, relax in a hammock, practice yoga or whatever you're called to do. In the afternoon, we'll go out onto the Pastaza river to float on balsa rafts, taking in the magnificence of the rainforest from the water. Evening group conversation by the fire about the ceremony and other shared experiences.
Thursday, October 9
Early morning dream sharing ritual for those who wish to participate. Cultural activities with our hosts where they'll teach us how to make ceramic bowls, weave baskets, hammocks and headbands, carve darts and shoot a blowgun. In the afternoon, we'll visit an Achuar garden to learn about the plants and food they cultivate, and the women may try preparing chicha. We'll then go visit a massive Kapok tree, the largest species in the forest, and sacred to the Achuar people. Here we will spend some meditative time in silence. A shamanic ceremony will be offered in the evening.
Friday, October 10
In the morning, we'll have time to share with the community and one another about our experiences. Then we'll have some free time to rest, reflect, journal or simply take in the vitality of the forest. In the afternoon, there will be the option to join our hosts for games with children and adults (they enjoy soccer, volleyball and frisbee) followed by a group gathering and celebration with the community where they will share cultural traditions including dances, chants and songs along with an impressive collection of handmade artisan items (available for purchase in support of the community and culture). We'll be invited to share, too – please bring small instruments, songs, dances, etc. for sharing. The finale will be a traditional Achuar feast with locally grown and collected foods.
Saturday, October 11
Early morning dream sharing ritual for those who wish to participate. After breakfast, we'll express our appreciation to the community and say our farewells. Then we'll fly back over the rainforest to the small town of Shell where our bus will take us back to the nearby El Jardin hotel. Situated on the edge of the rainforest, with gourmet food and wood barrel hot tubs, it is the perfect place to relax and integrate our rainforest immersion.
Sunday, October 12
A day of completion, commitments and celebration. Morning circle to share experiences, learnings and commitments for returning home. Drive back through the Avenue of the Volcanoes to the rural hotel an hour south of Quito, Sierra Alisos, for our farewell dinner and lodging.
Monday, October 13
Departures for home or next destinations
