Descriptions and Commentaries, 1876–1880
The content and purpose of the textual commentaries, as well as the special symbols and terms used in them, are described in the last part of the Guide to Editorial Practice. The siglum (C) identifies editorial emendations: readings adopted by the editors because they are thought to correspond better than the variant source reading to the most likely reading of the MS. In what follows here we summarize information about prior publication and provenance which would otherwise have to be frequently repeated in the commentaries for letters.
Individual commentaries may designate as copy-text one or both of the following publications. When the information given here is pertinent for any reason, the reader is specifically referred to it.
Mark Twain: A Biography. The Personal and Literary Life of Samuel Langhorne Clemens by Albert Bigelow Paine, with Letters, Comments and Incidental Writings Hitherto Unpublished; Also New Episodes, Anecdotes, etc. 3 vols. New York and London: Harper and Brothers, 1912. BAL, p. 251. Copy used: copy #1, CU-MARK. Where MTB has served as copy-text, copy #1 (publisher's code H-M on the copyright page of volume 1, signifying the first impression, ordered in August 1912) has been collated against copy #2 (code K-K, signifying an impression ordered in October 1935, which is the latest impression located). In 1935 Paine made a few corrections in the plates, but no variants in the texts of the letters have been found.
MTB was first issued in three volumes, then in four and later in two, all with the same pagination. Paine said that he had "obtained his data from direct and positive sources: letters, diaries, account-books, or other immediate memoranda" (MTB, 1:xv). His industry in this respect was such that several letters he published have not since been found in their original form and are therefore known only from his transcriptions (or occasional facsimiles) in MTB and MTL. In 2003, a large cache of Paine's transcriptions typed from original manuscript letters was acquired by the Mark Twain Papers. These transcriptions or portions of them often served as copy for MTB and MTL and additionally include the texts of many otherwise unknown letters (see Paine Transcripts in Description of Provenance).
Paine presumably had full access both to the documents (now in the Mark Twain Papers) that Clemens himself defined and set aside for his official biography, and to those now in the McKinney Family Papers. He also had access to at least some of the letters in the Moffett Collection, but it is not known whether these were ever fully in his hands or transcribed for him. Although he published many of the letters now in the McKinney Family Papers, he published relatively few of those in the Moffett Collection. MTB is copy-text for a few letters not republished in MTL. But letter texts in MTB are generally excerpts and, judging from collation with letters that are still extant in manuscript, they were more freely edited than the corresponding passages published in MTL. Excerpts from MTB appeared in Harper's Monthly Magazine in thirteen installments, running from November 1911 through November 1912, hence, largely before MTB appeared in 1912. Collation shows that when the book and the magazine both include text for a letter, they sometimes contain evidence of having each derived independently from a common source (very likely a typescript and its carbon copy), even though each has been separately copy-edited. Whenever persuasively authorial variants are found uniquely in both texts, the transcription is based on both. When such variants cannot be found, MTB is designated copy-text and the magazine, which was generally edited more heavily than the book, is treated as if it simply derived from MTB instead of their common source.
Mark Twain's Letters, Arranged with Comment by Albert Bigelow Paine. 2 vols. New York and London: Harper and Brothers Publishers, 1917. BAL 3525. Copy used: copy #1, CU-MARK. As indicated under MTB, the letters published in MTL are generally more complete as well as more reliable than those extracted or published in full in MTB. Because printer's copy for MTL has likewise not been found, it is not always clear what relation it bore to the printer's copy for MTB. Transcriptions are based on both MTL and MTB only when persuasively authorial variants occur in both, thus establishing their independent derivation from the lost manuscripts. Otherwise, if a letter occurs in both MTL and MTB, MTL is chosen as copy-text and MTB, although published earlier, is treated as if it simply derived from MTL instead of their common source.
Most of the letters published in MTL survive as original manuscripts; others survive only in typed transcriptions by Paine (see Paine Transcripts in Description of Provenance). Collation of original manuscripts with their transcriptions in MTL shows, in addition to the expected errors and omissions, that the MTL transcription always spelled out ampersands, and always imposed a uniform style on the dateline, greeting, complimentary closing, and signature lines. The uniformity of this house styling is established by a very large body of letter manuscript, and Clemens's consistency in using certain forms is likewise established by an even larger body of evidence. When the copy-text is MTL, this evidence is considered sufficient to permit the conjectural restoration of the likely forms in the original letter, at least in these uniformly styled elements. All emendations to remove this nonauthorial styling in MTL are, of course, published.
The George H. Brownell Collection is housed in the Rare Book Department of the Memorial Library of the University of Wisconsin (WU-MU). George H. Brownell (1875–1950) was a midwestern newspaperman who eventually became a full-time Mark Twain scholar, devoted especially to the task of obtaining photocopies (or originals) of Clemens's uncollected journalism and letters. In 1935 he helped found the Mark Twain Society of Chicago and, in 1941, the Mark Twain Association of America. In January 1939 he became the first editor of the Twainian, a position he held until his death. In October 1936, Brownell acquired an unusual collection of Clemens material from a Mark Twain collector, Irving S. Underhill (who died in 1937, in Buffalo). According to Brownell,
the aged, bed-ridden Irving S. Underhill had begun his preparations for death by shipping the more valuable items in his Twain collection to a New York auction concern. To me, at that time, he shipped two large cartons of miscellaneous Twainiana of no sale value, but having for me an almost inestimable biographical value.
Contained in one of those cartons was a box of Mark Twain letters—not the originals, but copies of the originals made by typewriter, pen and pencil. I never learned from Mr. Underhill how he acquired this strange collection of fully 200 Twain letters. My guess is that the copies were made by some dealer, long ago, at a time when the originals were passing through his hands to the purchaser. Mr. Underhill might then have brought or traded something to the dealer for the copies. (Brownell 1943, 2)
Brownell's conjecture was correct. The copies had been made by Dana S. Ayer of Worcester, Massachusetts, a book and manuscript dealer who had been a salesman (as of the late 1890s) for the American Publishing Company (BAL 3521; Second Life Books, 1983, lot 764; Samuel R. Morrill to Clifton W. Barrett, 24 April 1957, ViU). Brownell compiled a list of Underhill's documents, which included 158 Ayer transcriptions of Clemens letters (Brownell 1941). None of these letters was written earlier than 1867, when Clemens first corresponded with Elisha Bliss of the American Publishing Company. More than half of them were addressed to Bliss or to his son, Francis E. Bliss, who were both officers of the American Publishing Company. Most of the remaining letter transcriptions were addressed to Frank Fuller, Clemens's business agent from the spring of 1867 until sometime in 1868, when Clemens presumably placed Bliss in charge of past as well as his then current business correspondence (Brownell 1941). In the fall of 1942, Brownell loaned the Ayer transcriptions to Bernard DeVoto, who in turn had the majority of them retranscribed, depositing these retranscriptions in the Mark Twain Papers (described below). Brownell ultimately bequeathed the documents to the University of Wisconsin, where they now reside.
The original manuscripts for most of the letter transcriptions in the Brownell Collection have been found and are accessible to the editors, but a few letters are known only by the copy Ayer made of the original. By assessing the overall accuracy of Ayer's transcriptions and identifying the kinds of errors he introduced into them, it is possible to emend the texts of those few letters or parts of letters for which no manuscript survives, in order to restore the likely reading of the lost original. Four letters from 1876–80 derive wholly or partially from Ayer transcriptions.
My Mark Twain letters have not been offered to your imaginative New York dealer or any other, in bulk. Only those printed in the volumes of his letters have been submitted to a connoisseur who was to keep them together for a public museum, but was not willing to pay five thousand dollars, which remains their price under these conditions. (9 Mar 1918, NN-BGC)
It is not known when, before his death in 1920, Howells agreed to a sale, but the survival of the letter to Ayer (quoted above) with the letters to Howells now in the Berg Collection suggests that Ayer may have negotiated a successful offer. In any event, the full history of the letters subsequent to 1918 has not been traced. By 1941 they formed part of the large and important collection of Owen D. Young, former chairman of the board of the General Electric Company. In that year, Albert Berg purchased half of Young's collection for the New York Public Library, and Young donated the remainder. Meanwhile, after Howells's death, the unpublished Clemens letters in his possession passed to his surviving children, John Mead and Mildred Howells. In late 1937 they sold them to Harvard University, together with some two thousand additional letters written to their father by famous American and English literary figures. In 1876–80, there are ninety-two letters (or parts of letters) to William Dean Howells from these two archives: thirty-five from the Berg Collection, and fifty-seven from the Houghton Library.
Henry E. Huntington (1850–1927), financier, railway executive, and heir to Collis Porter Huntington's railroad fortune, bequeathed his San Marino, California, estate as an endowed public museum and art gallery for his enormous collection of rare books, manuscripts, and paintings. The Clemens material at the Huntington Library includes literary manuscripts and nearly two hundred autograph letters. Over half of these letters are addressed to Mary Mason Fairbanks, and were bought by Henry Huntington from William K. Bixby in 1918 (not from the Fairbanks family, as stated in L2, 512, and L3, 583). Charles Mason Fairbanks, Mary Mason Fairbanks's son, had sold the letters in 1911 to "a collector in the West," probably Bixby (Robert H. Dodd to Charles Mason Fairbanks, 8 Mar 1911, CtHMTH). Nineteen letters written in 1876–80 belong to the Huntington Library, all but two to Mary Mason Fairbanks.
The Jean Webster McKinney Family Papers, housed in the Francis Fitz Randolph Rare Book Room, Helen D. Lockwood Library, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York (NPV). This collection was given to Vassar in 1977 by Ralph and Jean Connor of Tymor Farm, LaGrangeville, New York. Jean Connor inherited the papers from her mother, Jean Webster McKinney, who had in turn inherited them from her mother, Annie Moffett Webster, Clemens's niece and the wife of Charles L. Webster, his business partner from 1884 to 1888. The letters and other Clemens materials in the collection represent one of the three principal caches of family letters, which passed from Clemens to his mother, Jane Lampton Clemens (d. 1890), his brother Orion (d. 1897) and sister-in-law Mollie Clemens (d. January 1904), and ultimately to his sister, Pamela A. Moffett (d. August 1904). Some of these documents went eventually to Pamela's son, Samuel E. Moffett (see Moffett Collection), and some to her daughter, Annie Moffett Webster. Not surprisingly, therefore, several manuscript letters are now found partly in the McKinney Family Papers and partly in the Moffett Collection.
Mollie Clemens wrote her nephew Samuel Moffett on 31 July 1899, "We never destroyed Sams letters—excepting by his request, or a few no one should see" (CU-MARK). At least one partly destroyed (censored) letter survives in this collection (see L1, 347–49), but by far the larger toll was probably taken by accidental physical damage or loss, and by the deliberate destruction, following Mollie Clemens's death, of most of Clemens's letters to his mother. As early as 1881, Orion Clemens had assembled a number of his brother's letters written between about 1853 and 1865 as part of a sprawling manuscript for his own never-published autobiography, finding even then that not all the letters had been preserved intact. On 6 October 1899, Pamela Moffett sent an unknown number of original letters to her son, Samuel Moffett, then a journalist in California, saying in part that she "was sorry to see that parts of some of the letters were missing" (CU-MARK). He tried to publish at least a few of these letters in biographical sketches of Clemens, but was eventually told to preserve them for publication after Clemens's death. Some, if not all, of these letters must eventually have become part of the Moffett Collection.
But in 1904, according to a 1935 Associated Press story in an unidentified newspaper clipping, Mollie Clemens's executor, John R. Carpenter, burned "almost four trunks" of Clemens's letter to his mother, "as requested by the famous humorist." Carpenter confided his story, according to this report, to Dr. G. Walter Barr of Keokuk, who gave this account:
When Mrs. Clemens died [in 1890], . . . her carefully preserved personal and family treasures went into the possession of her son, Orion. When Orion died, his wife had the succession and kept it inviolate until her own death in 1904.
John R. Carpenter was administrator of Orion's wife's estate and the treasured archives of Mother Clemens were delivered to him. One item was a collection of letters from Mark Twain to his mother, running through many decades, from youth to worldwide fame.
But with those three or four trunks of letters was an admonition. Mark Twain had enjoined his mother that she always burn his letters to her. She had not done so, but had passed on the mandamus to Orion and to the wife of the latter, and Carpenter was familiar with it.
He had a treasure of incalculable value and an imperative order to destroy it.
Carpenter realized fully the value of the material he was about to burn in his library grate. When I exclaimed that to destroy all those letters was a monstrous crime against biography, history and the record of a man who belonged to the whole world, he answered that he agreed with me—but what could be done under the circumstances?Mark Twain had written those letters to his mother in perfect candor—and about the whole sum of his candid writing was in them—intending and believing that nobody else would ever see them, and had ordered them burned.
And so Carpenter burned every one. It took him several long evenings to complete the job thoroughly. ("Mark Twain Letters to Mother Burned at Direction of Author," unidentified clipping, datelined 14 Dec [1935], PH in CU-MARK; the New York Times also published an abbreviated version of this story on 15 Dec 1935, 2).
That this story was not a fiction is suggested by the postscript of Clemens's 14 February 1904 letter to Carpenter, the original draft of which survives in the Mark Twain Papers: "If there are any letters of mine, I beg that you will destroy them."
The McKinney Family Papers consist of Clemens documents typically left by him, at various times, with his sister. They include his earliest surviving notebook (probably written in 1855; see N&J1, 11–39); half a dozen literary manuscripts, incomplete and unpublished, written principally between 1859 and 1868 (see ET&S 1–3; more than six hundred letters and telegrams from Clemens to various members of his family, and to business associates like Webster, as well as family photographs and mementoes, and letters and documents by other family members and close associates (Simpson 1977, 6–14). Twenty-eight letters written in 1876–80 are from the McKinney Family Papers.
The Charles E. Perkins Collection consists of ninety-two items—for the most part letters or notes by Samuel Clemens addressed to his friend, lawyer, and business agent Charles E. Perkins—found in the files of the Hartford law firm of Howard, Kohn, Sprague and Fitzgerald. They were donated to the Mark Twain House (CtHMTH) as the Perkins Collection in January 1975 by William W. Sprague. Charles Perkins was a partner in this law firm (then called Perkins and Perkins) until his death in 1917 ("Large File of Twain Letters Discovered in Area Law Firm," Hartford Courant, 11 Mar 1975). Thirty-five letters written in 1876–80 are from the Perkins Collection.
The Mark Twain Papers, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley (CU-MARK). The core of this collection consists of the original documents that Clemens made available to Albert Bigelow Paine for the official biography Paine was to produce, and from which (in part) Paine eventually published his selected editions of letters, notebooks, and the autobiography. Since Clemens's death in 1910, these papers were successively in the care of Paine (1910–37); Bernard DeVoto at Harvard (1938–46); Dixon Wecter at the Huntington Library, San Marino, California, and later at the University of California in Berkeley (1946–50); Henry Nash Smith (1953–63); and Frederick Anderson (1963–79), both of the latter at the University of California in Berkeley, and both successors to Paine, DeVoto, and Wecter as the official literary executor of the Clemens estate. Upon the death of Clara Clemens Samossoud in 1962, the papers were bequeathed to the University of California, and in 1971 they became part of The Bancroft Library, where they now reside. Since 1980, the Papers have been in the care of the General Editor of the Mark Twain Papers, Robert H. Hirst, of the University of California in Berkeley.
The original collection segregated by Clemens for Paine included forty-five of the approximately fifty extant notebooks kept between 1855 and 1910; approximately seventeen thousand letters received by Clemens or his family; an estimated six hundred literary manuscripts, most of them unpublished, including the autobiographical dictations; as well as photographs, clippings, contracts, and a variety of other documents originally owned by Clemens. Thirty-eight letters by Clemens in the years 1876–80 are from this original collection. Since Paine's tenure, primary and secondary documents have been added in various ways to the Papers—ranging from gifts of both photocopied and original manuscripts and documents, to large purchases and bequests comprising many hundreds of documents, to the systematic compilation of a secondary archive of photocopies, collected from institutions and private owners of the original documents around the world, for the specific purpose of publishing a comprehensive scholarly edition of Mark Twain's Works and Papers.
Samossoud Collection (1952), The Mark Twain Papers. Among the documents in Clemens's possession at the time of his death, but not included in the Mark Twain Papers or made wholly available to Paine, were the letters written to his fiancée and wife, Olivia L. Langdon, and later to their daughters, Susy, Clara, and Jean. Dixon Wecter was permitted to transcribe most of these letters, as well as some that were still owned and separately housed by Clara. He used these transcriptions as the basis for his selected edition, The Love Letters of Mark Twain (LLMT), published in 1949, and ultimately deposited all of them in the Mark Twain Papers. On 21 March 1952, however, the University of California purchased from Clara's husband Jacques Samossoud (d. 1966) approximately five hundred original letters written to Olivia between September 1868 and her death in 1904. Other parts of the large cache of family letters still held by Clara and her husband were sold or given at various times between 1949 and 1962 to other persons and institutions, including Chester L. Davis, Sr., and the Mark Twain Foundation of Perry, Missouri. Twelve letters in the years 1876–80 are from the Samossoud Collection.
Moffett Collection (1954), The Mark Twain Papers. This collection represents the portion of Pamela Moffett's papers which passed to her son, Samuel, instead of her daughter, Annie (see McKinney Family Papers). The collection became the property of Samuel Moffett's daughter, Anita Moffett (d. 1952), either upon his death in 1908, or upon the death of Anita's younger brother, Francis Clemens Moffett, in 1927. The papers were discovered in 1953 by Paul P. Appel, a Mamaroneck, New York, book dealer (not in 1954 by Jacob Zeitlin, as reported in L2, 516), in a warehouse sale that included some of Anita Moffett's effects: sixteen hundred letters by Clemens, his family, and associates (including Pamela's letters to her son and daughter); ten scrapbooks of newspaper clippings for the period 1858–98, evidently compiled by Orion and Mollie Clemens, and containing original printings of Clemens's (and Orion's) western journalism, which had been largely unknown to Paine and all subsequent scholars (see MTEnt); deeds to 1860s Nevada mining claims owned by Clemens or his brother; family photographs; and a family Bible. The collection was purchased for the University of California in 1954 by a group of anonymous donors. The inventory of Clemens letters made at the time is not always specific enough to enable the editors to be certain whether some letters were part of the Moffett acquisition or were already part of the Mark Twain Papers in 1954. Twenty-two letters in 1876–80 are from the Moffett Collection.
Mendoza Collection (1957), The Mark Twain Papers. In January 1957 the University of California purchased a collection of one hundred sixteen Clemens letters written between 1867 and 1905 (all but one of them to Elisha Bliss or Henry H. Rogers), as well as eleven other miscellaneous items. This collection was offered for sale to the University by Aaron Mendoza of the Isaac Mendoza Book Company, New York City. The letters came from the collection of C. Warren Force (1880–1959), who had bought the letters to the Blisses in 1938 at the sale of the collection of George C. Smith, Jr. (Parke-Bernet 1938). In 1939 Force had given Bernard DeVoto transcripts of the letters to the Blisses. The Mark Twain Papers now contain about eighty-five letters to Rogers (or members of his family) and fifty-seven original letters to Elisha Bliss or Francis E. Bliss. Of the total, all but roughly thirty letters were part of the Mendoza Collection, from which three letters in 1876–80 are drawn—two to Elisha Bliss and one to Fanny C. Hesse.
Whitmore Collection (1964), The Mark Twain Papers. In the summer of 1964 the University of California purchased the Franklin Gray Whitmore Collection from Whitmore's granddaughter, Frances Whitmore Hartwell, of Pasadena, California. It consists in part of two hundred and two letters by Clemens and about fifty by Olivia L. Clemens, Isabel V. Lyon, and various associates, written between 1880 and 1908, primarily addressed to Clemens's friend and business agent, Franklin Gray Whitmore, or to Harriet Eliza Goulden (Mrs. Franklin) Whitmore, of Hartford, Connecticut. It also includes books, photographs, and other miscellaneous materials. Prior to the purchase, the collection was on deposit at the Mark Twain House in Hartford. Although the bulk of the collection was sold to the University of California, Frances Hartwell retained six items and sold about twenty-four others to the Mark Twain House. Two letters written in 1876–80 are from the Whitmore Collection.
Tufts Collection (1971), The Mark Twain Papers. The James and John M. Tufts Collection was assembled chiefly by James Tufts, an acquaintance of Clemens's and, for more than forty years (1892–1935), a prominent San Francisco journalist who at various times was an editor for the Call, the Chronicle, and the Examiner. The collection was purchased in 1971 from Tufts's son, Dr. John M. Tufts of Kentfield, California. It includes twenty-three original letters by Clemens to various correspondents, literary manuscripts, first printings of his sketches, first editions of his books, and photographs. Two letters written in 1876–80 are from the Tufts Collection.
Appert Collection (1973 and 1977), The Mark Twain Papers. The gift of Mr. and Mrs. Kurt E. Appert of Pebble Beach, California, this collection includes more than fifty letters by Clemens to various correspondents, literary manuscripts, photographs, letters from various hands to Clemens, first editions of his works, and books from his library. Three letters written in 1876–80 are from the Appert Collection.
Paine Transcripts. Cushman Collection (2003), The Mark Twain Papers. Between 1906 and 1917, Albert Bigelow Paine transcribed some eighteen hundred letters, most of them written by Samuel L. Clemens, to various correspondents. In late 2003, Anne T. Cushman, the widow of Bigelow Paine Cushman, Paine's grandson, donated most of these typed transcriptions to the Mark Twain Papers. The scope and significance of the collection were described by Robert H. Hirst in 2004:
When Albert Bigelow Paine agreed in early 1906 to write Mark Twain's biography, he gained access to the author's life and thoughts in a way that was then unprecedented. Between 1906 and Clemens's death in 1910, Paine spent uncounted hours with him—talking, asking questions, playing billiards, and also reading and copying his letters.
Mark Twain publicly acknowledged Paine as his biographer and also provided letters of introduction, so Paine easily persuaded Clemens's many correspondents to let him borrow letters he had written them. He copied those letters on a typewriter before returning the originals, but he published only a small portion of what he collected, first in 1912 with the biography [MTB], then in 1917 with a collection of some five hundred letters [MTL]. . . .
A preliminary analysis shows that the typescripts include texts for at least 200 letters from Clemens and his wife, Olivia, as well as two dozen letters to them, which are entirely new to us. Paine's typed copies are very likely the best text we will ever get for most of them. (Hirst 2004, 10)
The transcripts provide many texts which are entirely new, as well as some that are new in part. Collation of the texts against those published in MTB and MTL has confirmed that the transcripts served as some stage of copy for the books and that they are often considerably more complete and accurate than the published versions. Some of the transcripts exist in two stages: a typescript (and its carbon) taken directly from the manuscript and then corrected, styled, and otherwise edited by Paine; and a second typescript (and its carbon) made from the first, incorporating Paine's editorial changes, which is in turn often marked with further corrections and editing by Paine. Individual letter commentaries explain which transcripts survive and how they contribute to the texts. Nineteen texts (or parts of texts) written in 1876–80 derive from the Paine transcripts.

Consumer cameras continue to shrink and now Sanyo has laid claim to the title of the world's smallest, thinnest and lightest Full HD consumer video camera with its new VPC-CS1. The camera is part of Sanyo's Xacti line that includes a range of Dual cameras for capturing both video and still images. With its body measuring just 1.06-inches (2.7cm) thick the VPC-CS1 is slim enough to stick in your jeans pocket to ensure you'll have a camera on hand to capture those unexpected video-worthy moments in glorious Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution.Read More
We met with Sanyo's David Cabanban Sanyo at CES 2010 and he was kind enough to speak to us about the recent Sanyo-Panasonic alliance as well as Sanyo's new solar panel that is translucent, allowing it to capture solar energy not only from on top of the panel, but also from light reflected off the ground. David also took us through the finer points of the eneloop bike we first spied in December 2008 and we jumped aboard for a test ride. The bike features impressive power-assisted technology that amplifies the rider's pedaling, making cycling up hills or at speeds of up to 15mph that much easier. Read More
Sanyo has just released a home-use air purification system that could save hayfever sufferers a lot of sniffles. Billed as the first of its kind in the United States, the Air Washer Plus is designed to use electrolyzed water technology to suppress bacteria and germs, reduce the amount of airborne pollen and allergy-causing dust, and eliminate unpleasant odors in the home.

Cold hands, warm heart. Why not have both this winter? (warm body parts, that is) Just in time for the Northern Hemisphere's colder weather, Sanyo has launched two new eneloop Kairo portable rechargeable hand-warmers. Shaped a bit like an egg, the eneloop Kairo is available in one-sided and two-sided models, and makes an ideal stocking-filler … or pocket-filler for this Christmas season.Read More
March 18, 2009 We reported last week on Sanyo's new "dual camera" range which seeks to blur the line between still and video cameras by offering simultaneous video recording and still photographs. Now you can have all that plus full waterproofing to a depth of three meters. Now this is very significant because it effectively provides a ruggedized still and video camera at a very reasonable price point. Read More
The convergence of video and still cameras has been happening practically since the first digital cameras rolled off the production line. It's now pretty standard for still cameras to be able to capture short bursts of video and it's easy to capture a still pic using most video cameras. Sanyo's Xacti dual camera range seeks to blur the lines between still and video cameras even further by allowing the capture of still and 60 fps video images simultaneously.Read More
Countries with a strong bicycle culture such as those in Asia have rapidly embraced bicycles of the motorized variety.

When it comes to Halloween costumes, there are a few stock options like a witch, vampire or pirate. Another one that can be added to the list is the hippie. The hippie has come to define the sixties in a major way, and makes for a popular costume choice. It is just one of many fun 60s costumes someone can wear on Halloween. There are many fun costumes to choose from for both men and women.
Part of what made the hippie movement so great was not just the ideals or the fashion, but the music. The era had some classic tunes by legendary artists. Some of those said artists make for great Halloween costumes. Jimi Hendrix is an easy and fun costume to throw together. Dressing up like the Beatles during the Sargent Pepper era is a fun choice for a group costume. For women, there are numerous choices as well. Cher is a great option, with many fun costume variations.
Aside from being an era with great music, there were many classic TV shows from the 60s with iconic characters. For a fun horror theme, a couple could dress up as Gomez and Morticia Addams (or Herman and Lilly Munster if you prefer). A sexy costume for a woman would be dressing up like Barbara Eden's famous character from I dream Of Jeannie. For men, they can dress up as Gilligan.If pop culture is not your thing, there are many iconic social and political figures from the 60s that will make great costumes. A couple could dress up as John and Jackie Kennedy. Richard Nixon is not only a fun choice, he comes with his own mask.
Halloween is a really fun holiday, and the sixties were a fun decade. Naturally, the two were made for each other. There are many costume ideas from that era that are not only fun, but instantly recognizable for adults and children alike. When looking for a costume, why not trip back to the sixties? Its always a groovy choice.

Bowling News USA - February 19, 2012 Barrett Keeps the STORM TRAIN Rolling...
England's Dom Barrett, in his American television debut, defeated Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., 247-204, to win the Professional Bowlers Association Scorpion Open at South Point Casino and Hotel. The finals aired Sunday on ESPN.
The Storm staffer threw a Storm Marvel Pearl™ and Roto Grip Critical Theory™ on the telecast. The win was the fourth victory for Storm and Roto Grip on the 2011/12 PBA Tour, and third win in the last four telecasts.
The Scorpion Open was the third of four PBA "animal pattern" championships contested during the third annual PBA World Series of Bowling and the fourth straight World Series title – including the PBA World Championship – won by international players.
Barrett joined countryman Stuart Williams, winner of the Bayer Viper Open, as the second English player ever to win a PBA Tour title. He came into the finals as the top qualifier and worked his way through two elimination matches before throwing his best game at the hard-luck Rash, who was once again plagued by a fatal error.
In the opening game of the eliminator-format finals, Rash led the four-man field with a 217 game. Barrett was right behind with a 207. Hometown favorite Dave Wodka of Henderson, Nev., nipped Patrick Allen of Baltimore, 177-173, to remain in contention. Allen, as low man, was eliminated.
Allen used a Marvel Pearl and 2Fast™ on the show.
In game two, Rash again led the survivors, using a late string of five strikes to post a 221. Barrett advanced to the title match with a 214. Three open frames led to a 164 game and doomed Wodka's hopes for his second PBA Tour title.
In the title match, Rash and Barrett both struck on six of their first seven shots, but Rash's unconverted 2-4-8-10 split in the third frame gave Barrett an 18-pin advantage. Both players converted single pin spares in the eighth and ninth frames before Barrett doubled in the 10th frame to claim the $15,000 first prize and a berth in the Round of 36 for the end-of-season PBA Tournament of Champions.
"It's a fantastic feeling," Barrett said. "I kind of got to go through some of the emotions with Stu (Williams) after he won his title, and that gave me a little insight about what was going to happen to me if I got this far.
"I just wanted to throw the best 10 shots I could, and I think most of them were pretty good," he added. "The thing to remember is the lane is still 60 feet and there are 10 pins at the other end, and you can't control your opponent. You just have to make a good shot yourself."
For Rash and the United States professionals, the loss was another bitter disappointment. In four straight World Series of Bowling finals appearances, Rash has finished third in the PBA World Championship and Bayer Viper Open, and second in the Chameleon and Scorpion Opens. He also finished second to Mika Koivuniemi in the WTBA World Bowling Tour Finals to kick off the World Series. And the U.S. has yet to win a World Series title. Following Koivuniemi's win in the WBT Finals for Finland, fellow Finn Osku Palermaa won the PBA World Championship, England's Williams won the Bayer Viper Open, and Australia's Jason Belmonte won the Chameleon Open.
"If you were to roll the calendar back 10 years, this wouldn't be happening," Barrett said of the surprising international dominance. "But we have so many international tournaments now, and the PBA Tour has opened events like the World Series to international players, that the experience we've been able to get on the European and Asian tours has really meant a lot.
"The tournaments we have in Europe have televised finals, but nothing quite like this," he added. "The arena setting here reminds me of the Weber Cup back home, so when I walked in and saw how close this setting was to the Weber Cup, it made me feel right at home."
Barrett didn't want to rate himself against Williams as to who the best British bowler might be, but he said, "Stu was the best after the Viper Open, and I put myself into the running today. But the fact is, we're the only two Englishmen to win a PBA Tour title, so that's what is really cool."
The final "animal pattern" championship, the GEICO Shark Open, will be contested on Sunday, March 4, at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN. Rash will appear in his fifth straight elimination final along with top qualifier Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas; Jason Belmonte of Australia, and reigning PBA Player of the Year Mika Koivuniemi of Hartland, Mich.
South Point Exhibition Hall, Las Vegas
Round One (lowest score eliminated): Sean Rash, Montgomery, Ill., 217; Dom Barrett, England, 207; Dave Wodka, Henderson, Nev., 177; Patrick Allen, Baltimore, 173 ($4,000).
Round Two (lowest score eliminated): Rash 221, Barrett 214, Wodka 164 ($4,500).

While The Source's once coveted "5 Mic status" was blown to bits by outlandish 4.5 mic rating for Made Men's Classic Limited Edition in 1999, the rating has never been taken seriously since, as Source co-owner Benzino was a member of the group. This along with some other questionable ratings forever diminished the magazine's credibility and it's been five years since they've given an LP the 5 mic rating. To Lil' Kim's The Naked Truth, mind you. Yes, really.
The magazine is pumping up it's next issue which will see an album get five mics. July was an incredible month for hip-hop music, with a slew of quality releases, one of which was rated 5/5 here (Drake's Thank Me Later, amid criticism). Given that Benzino and Dave Mays are no longer affiliated with the magazine and they have almost wiped the slate clean by not awarding any 5 mic albums in the last five years, perhaps this will be a new beginning. Here are the nominees, along with our thoughts on the matter:
Drake – "Thank Me Later" - This of course is our pick. The magazine has a long history of missing the mark on giving debut albums 5 mics upon release (The Chronic, Ready To Die) and then awarding them later. Considering this album is the one of the most buzzed about records of the summer, and has very long legs attached to it, in the form of several singles ("Over", "Find Your Love") and club bangers ("Fancy", "Miss Me", "Up All Night"), of all of these albums this has the one of the better chances of catching the 5 mic status. But don't count on it.
Eminem – "Recovery" – We think Recovery is great, but not classic. The Marshall Mathers LP was Em's classic album. However after the magazine destroyed it's relationship with Eminem during the Benzino era (remember the poster featuring Benzino holding Eminem's severed head and spine?), they may be looking to make nice with the Shady camp by giving Em 5 mics. Considering this album is the summer's sales juggernaut, it's the one of the more likely contenders.
Fat Joe – "Darkside" - It's a stretch, because Fat Joe is a widely respected New York artist, but he doesn't sell records. With today's rap game being more focused on numbers than anything else, it's unlikely they'd give it to Joe, unless they wanted to crown him with some type of achievement award for staying in the game this long.
Bun B – "Trill O.G." – While we're all excited about Bun B's new release today – and in fairness we have not heard it yet – there's too many other heavy hitters in these ranks for the magazine to give it to Bun. We might change our minds after we hear it though. Review coming soon, by the way….
Rick Ross – "Teflon Don" - Most likely to succeed. Considering that Rawse is the hood's favorite right now, this is most likely who will get the award. Not just because of the outstanding buzz Rick is carrying with him, but because he went against the grain and made an album that sounds unlike most anything else out there with it's massive cinematic backdrops and guest appearances from everyone. At only 12 tracks in length, the only thing holding Rick back is the whole "ex-cop" thing and of course the fact that he isn't strong enough to hold an album on his own, which is why we rated it 4/5.
The Roots – "How I Got Over" – It's unlikely that The Source wants to win big with the backpackers, as that is pretty much a lost cause at this point. How I Got Over is great, but there are so many other Roots albums that are better than this one that they could "re-rate" instead.
Big Boi – "Sir Luscious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty" - We know The Source has a soft spot for Outkast, but we're guessing all those people that agreed upon Aquemini as a classic are long gone by now. If Big Boi is going to get 5 mics from The Source again, trust us, it will be with Andre 3000 at his side.
You can vote now at The Source, which also begs the question if the 5 mic rating will be based on user votes, or their actual opinions.
UPDATE: The Source announced today that Bun B's Trill O.G. got 5 Mics.
to the idiot that said nas illmatic wasnt deserving of 5 mics r u high illmatic is a top 10 all time. the people that said the source never gave 5 mics to west coast artist must dont know much about music because the west coast do have 5 mic artist. The D.O.C. recieved 5 mics, both of Dr. Dre album went 5 mics those 2 albums u mention about 2Pac did go 5 mics they changed their rating to 5 mics like they did Jay-Z Reasonable Doubt from 4 to 5. NWA had a 5 mic album Snoop Doggystyle was 5 mics. what the source did was re rate them as classics here is the site to see for yourselves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Source_(magazine) 8 west coast albums recieved the 5 mics while this is only the 5th 5 mic album from the south.
Albums that didn't get 5 Mics
Tribe-Midnight Marauders
De La soul-3ft. High and Rising
PE-Fear of a Black Planet
pete rock and Cl smooth-Mecca and the Soul Brother
Beastie boys-Paul Boutique
Souls of Mischief-93 Til Infinity
GZA-Liquid Swords
Little Brother- Minstrel Show
Redman-Whut? Thee Album
and many more the source missed alot of hiphop classics
Tribe Midnight Marauders got a 4 That's ridiculous!
ICE CUBE is one of the Greatest with NAS, Biggie, & PAC. Ice Cube has the MOST 5 MIC albums when you include his group – WESTSIDE CONNECTION!!! – Stephen Donatelli.

The Sweet and Convenient Health Food
A wonderful, natural health food packed full of calcium and protein that can be low in carbohydrates.
By Lara Rondinelli, RD, LDN, CDE
You might have noticed that the yogurt section at the grocery store has expanded. There are so many different varieties you may feel confused by all your choices. Don't let this scare you away – you should not skip this section in the grocery store. Yogurt is a wonderful, natural, health food packed full of calcium and protein, and it can be low in carbohydrates along with providing probiotics (more on this later). All that, together with the fact that this sweet treat is packaged in a portable container great for grabbing when you're in a rush – makes yogurt one of my most frequently recommended foods.
Calcium is an important mineral which helps to build strong muscles, teeth and reduce the risk of the bone disease osteoporosis. Most Americans are not consuming enough calcium-containing milk products every day. It's recommended that adults and children consume 3-4 dairy servings per day or 1000-1300 milligrams of calcium per day (amount varies based on age, check at: http://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/NationalDairyCouncil/
Nutrition/Nutrients/calciumRecommendations.htm. A serving size of dairy equals 1 cup (8 ounces) of milk, 1 cup of yogurt or 1 to 1.5 ounces of cheese.
Yogurt can help you reach your calcium goal, but beware, not all yogurt is created equal. Most yogurts have added sugar, which increases the carbohydrate content greatly. Some contain more than 35 grams carbohydrate per 6-ounce serving. Light yogurts are sweetened with artificial sweeteners and have lower carbohydrate contents (usually around 15 grams carbohydrate per serving). Now some companies have come out with even lower-carbohydrate yogurt options, such as Dannon Light n' Fit, Carb and Sugar Control, which contains 4.5 grams of carbohydrate per serving. Plain yogurts are also lower in carbohydrates and can be eaten plain or sweetened with sugar-free jam, artificial sweeteners, or by adding fresh fruit. Greek yogurts have become a hot new product and are popping up in grocery stores everywhere, but the carb and fat content can vary in these yogurts too. Reading labels is very important when purchasing yogurt — try to find ones that are lower in carbohydrates. Check out the table that follows for carbohydrate and saturated fat contents of various yogurt brands.
Another great health benefit of yogurt is that it can contain active cultures of friendly bacteria, such as lactobacillus bulgaricus or bifidobacterium and often lactobacillus acidophilus is added to yogurt. This friendly bacteria, referred to as probiotics, is found in yogurt and cultured dairy drinks. Probiotics are all the buzz because they are associated with some possible health benefits, such as helping alleviate symptoms of lactose intolerance, reducing the severity of diarrhea, protecting against infectious diseases, decreasing colon cancer risk, enhancing the immune system, and aiding constipation. These health claims need to be confirmed by well-controlled human studies, but yogurt is definitely a healthy choice for people with diabetes. Choose yogurt that contains live and active cultures; some yogurts carry a seal indicating this information.

This past weekend was my STAR TREK group's anniversary picnic. Our hostess was one of our chapter's newer members, though she's definitely a second-generation member (perhaps since birth!) of the larger organization. She's also dealing with a couple of agressive, quality-of-life-limiting autoimmune conditions, at least one of which has been somewhat mitigated by the effect of bariatric surgery. In the relaxed atmosphere of a group picnic, she was able to explain a bit more about...

Comedian Alec Mapa has a great sense of humor, and he always leaves his audience in stitches. However, this time he may have overstayed his welcome. Ignoring the signal to depart stage left, he clings to his moment in the spotlight even as his pants make a swift exit. Alec's not afraid to be the butt of his own jokes, but what will he do now that his butt IS the joke? Can he turn his wardrobe malfunction into the ultimate punchline, or will he simply make a swift beeline for cover?

Now, I am not a hoarder at all. Quite the opposite in fact, as having too many possessions panics me! However, I can still hold onto clutter: stuff that I no longer need or use, such as scraps of paper, old bills and clothes.
So, what has clutter got to do with life coaching and why is it being written about here? Well, it is about change. If you are beginning a new venture in your life, it is very important that you are prepared and create space for all the new, exciting opportunities that are going to come into your life, as a result of e.g. your new business.
Here is a demonstration of the power of clutter. Nearly two years ago, I coached myself on this subject using these powerful questions.
Firstly, I used my intuition and asked myself which areas in my home needed addressing and my answers were:
Next, I asked myself: ''What would I gain from getting rid of the clutter in those spaces?'' I wrote down:
Wow! All that from simply sorting out five different areas in my home! I then asked myself "What would I lose from getting rid of the clutter in those spaces?''
My only answer was: An excuse
Hmm. When you look at my 'gains' it sounds like an excuse for having a better life. Finally, I asked "What excuses do I always make for not clearing the clutter?'' and I said:
Well, clearly it was important and I did make the time (which was not as long as thought it would be!) to clear the clutter from those places in my home. Consequently, I felt more in control and ready for new opportunities. These materialised in the form of a new man (!) and new forms of rewarding and lucrative work.
Basically, clutter represents failure and saps you of energy. After all, no one wants to be reminded of decisions not taken and things that they have not done. Clutter signifies feelings such as 'I can't cope', 'I am overwhelmed' or 'I give up.' Clutter can also symbolize:
I have a rather ruthless adage "Use it or lose it'' which serves as a helpful mantra when I tidy up. However, it need not stop at belongings. Having people in your life that drain you and that you do not enjoy being around will deplete your energy levels and take up 'space' when you could be spending time with people that uplift and support you.
You may find this harder to address. It could mean ending a relationship, saying goodbye to your current boss at work and getting a new job, changing business suppliers or making new friends.
I encourage you to ask the same powerful questions and take action. Embrace the positive changes in your life that will then follow. You might suddenly progress in a completely new direction. This can be the very reason why some people stay stuck and avoid taking action. Unconsciously, they know that their lives will change as a result of completing things or letting go of 'old' stuff.
As you go about the practicalities of clearing your clutter, if you feel 'stuck' on an item ask yourself: Does this add value to my life or make me smile?
Start small and set deadlines of time e.g. allow 10 minutes to sort out your bathroom cupboard. Do circuits i.e. throw out stuff you immediately know you do not need or does not make you happy. Go back and keep reducing. You will be left with a pile of the more 'emotional' stuff that is harder to throw out. Personally, I find once your brain has got used to the exercise, you will be feeling stronger and it is then easier to tackle these items.
When you have finished give yourself a reward!
I can't wait to hear how you get on. If you need further tips, then head to the forums and lets get chatting!

Trying to visualize Desmond trajectory is causing Maestro crashes when I click on the "T" button next to the _desmond_scratch_donotchangeN entry. What am I doing wrong?
This behavior is caused by using Desmond → Molecular Dynamics → Import from file for loading a finished MD trajectory. This panel should be used for starting new MD simulations only, not examining the results of completed runs. To analyze the results of an MD run, load the corresponding md_desmond_job-out.cms file (which is the output of the MD job) into the Project Table via Project → Import Structures → Files of type: Desmond (*.cms, *.cmsgz, *.cms.gz).

The Krrish 3 babe brings the busy traffic of New York to a screeching halt. Watch this video to know how Priyanka Chopra became an absolute head turner on the other side of the globe!
Priyanka Chopra is an achiever. The 32-year-old star is confident, charming and curious to do different things in her glamorous life. Recently, the mega star was spotted on the cobbled streets of New York. The dusky beauty was in the Big Apple to shoot for a commercial for Blender's Pride.
As PeeCee unleashed her trademark charm and she posed in style displaying her fierceness, wearing attitude on her stylish sleeve…or lack of it…the actor really amazed frenzied New Yorkers who were intrigued to see the Indian beauty taking a confident stride. She stopped traffic with her deadly oomph and her incredible energy, even adding a dance move or two to her pretty posing. And guess what, she even waited for a moment on the busy street to blow Spiderman a kiss!

AmD Milltek Racing takes Hampshire double point score
AmD Milltek Racing enjoyed its best ever weekend in the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship at Thruxton, picking up two points finishes during the third meeting of the 2011 season.
Buoyed by a maiden points finish at Donington Park, the West Thurrock based outfit headed to the high speed Hampshire venue seeking to add to its championship tally and proved to be one of the revelations of the weekend as its Volkswagen Golf ran inside the top ten in every session on track.
After a strong performance in both free practice sessions, New Malden racer Tom Onslow-Cole secured a highly impressive sixth place on the grid during qualifying, despite his session ending slightly early after running wide at Church, which resulted in grass collecting in intakes at the front of the car.
It gave the AmD Milltek Racing team its best qualifying performance to date, while Tom's lap of 1min 18.122secs was a full 3.716secs quicker than the car had lapped the Thruxton circuit last season in what was its first outing in the BTCC.
In a further indication of the progress made, Tom was noticeably quicker through both speed traps than the Golf had gone in the past.
When the opening race got underway, Tom was shuffled back to eighth on the opening lap as he struggled for grip but lapped strongly to keep pace with Tom Boardman and Mat Jackson ahead, while also keeping championship leader James Nash at bay.
An incident for Jason Plato two laps from the finish saw Tom climb up to seventh place, where he then finished for his second top ten result of the year.
Unfortunately, the team was then forced to miss the second race when an issue with the manifold was discovered, with the team unable to fix the problem in time to take its place in the field.
As a result, Tom started the final race of the weekend from the back of the grid but displayed good race craft as he worked his way through the pack to take the chequered flag in tenth for a second points finish of the weekend.
Tom heads away from Thruxton sitting 14th in the drivers' championship and tenth amongst the Independent runners: "We finished in the points in both races we started and have been inside the top ten in every session, which is a great result for the team. Running in the top ten in race one is one thing, but to come from the back of the field to score points again in race three is a sign of our progress. There is still more to come, but we're heading in the right direction.
"People said this circuit was all about power but you also need a good chassis, which we have with the Golf. We're getting good power from the engine and while the aerodynamics aren't as good as some of the saloons, we are working on it and are now looking for little things to improve.
"After scoring points at Donington, we wanted to come here and prove that we are a team that can regularly fight inside the top ten. Of course, we will occasionally drop outside the points, but this weekend we have shown what we can do."
Tom's double score means AmD Milltek Racing has closed to within nine points of former champions West Surrey Racing in the HiQ Teams Championship in tenth place while the team holds eighth place in the Independents' team trophy heading into a small break before the fourth round of the campaign at Oulton Park.
"It's been a fantastic weekend for us. The car has been on the pace from the first lap of practice on Saturday morning and we couldn't have hoped for better in qualifying, Tom was absolutely on the money. He struggled a bit with some grip issues at the start of race one but seventh was a great result, although it was disappointing that we discovered the manifold problem too late to be out for race two," team principal Shaun Hollamby said.
"However, race three was fantastic. Tom showed strong pace and did a really good job to work his way forwards and he was able to pull away from people in both the normally aspirated and the turbo cars. We've got a four week gap now before Oulton Park to look at a few issues we have, which will help to boost our performance even further.
"We are still a new team in the BTCC, but the boys really came of age this weekend and have shown we can be true top ten contenders, which has been our aim all along. Being in the top ten in every session from this point onwards has to be our target."
