PayPal, eBay's payments arm, says StackMob will help PayPal further its mobile payments capabilities, and PayPal will help StackMob clients better enable payments in mobile apps. Meanwhile, Amazon has its mobile sights set on PayPal.
Online marketplace eBay Inc. has acquired StackMob, a mobile app developer, in a deal that could strengthen eBay and subsidiary PayPal in enabling consumers to pay with mobile devices. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Meanwhile, eBay's chief rival, Amazon.com Inc., is also adding technology related to mobile payments.
The acquisition could help PayPal, eBay's online payments service that's starting to move into physical retail stores, increase its presence in mobile commerce apps and enhance its mobile payments offerings, including in-store mobile payments. The deal could help StackMob clients more easily accept mobile payments within their apps.
"While projects underway at PayPal have already accelerated our ability to deliver great products to our customers, we believe that with the addition of the talented team from StackMob, we'll move even faster in creating, testing and deploying products that aim to transform payments for customers around the world," writes James Barrese, chief technology officer at PayPal, on the PayPal blog.
StackMob's co-founder and CEO, Ty Amell, has high hopes for what the two companies can achieve.
"By joining PayPal, the StackMob team will maintain its focus on developers and extending innovative mobile technologies that aim to allow consumers to access the rich capabilities of the PayPal global network," Amell writes on his company's blog. "We believe that our work at PayPal will make it easier for developers to create seamless payment solutions that span online, mobile and in-store experiences."
The StackMob buy follows eBay's September acquisition of Braintree, a mobile payments processor, for $800 million in cash. Braintree will join eBay's PayPal payments processing unit. EBay says the acquisition will accelerate PayPal's innovation in mobile payments.
However, Amazon.com Inc. has its sights set on PayPal. The e-retailer has reportedly acquired GoPago Inc., a mobile point-of-sale software and services provider that enables retailers and restaurants to use card reader-enabled tablets and smartphones to check out customers and allows customers to use an app to order and pay for goods and services before they arrive at a business. GoPago's Italian owners have talked with Italian media about the acquisition, but not U.S. media. Amazon.com and GoPago did not respond to requests for comment from Internet Retailer.
It may be that Amazon.com, which operates an online marketplace, is bolstering its payments capabilities to compete with other companies that offer marketplaces and mobile payments, including eBay/PayPal, Google Inc., Groupon and Square, says Colin Sebastian, an analyst for investment firm Robert W. Baird & Co.
Amazon.com is No. 2 in the 2014 Internet Retailer Mobile 500.

Times Table Helper
Por DiamondB Software
Abre iTunes para comprar y descargar Apps.
Times Table Helper is an application designed to help your child learn the Times Tables. Specifically designed for children with little or no computer experience, and partially designed for children with learning disabilities.
Times Table Helper has three modes: Learn, Practice, and Test. In Learn mode you see the problem and hear the problem and answer as you progress through the numbers. In Practice mode is just like learn mode but without hearing the problem and answer. And in Test mode the numbers come in a random order.
No matter which mode you use, when you have finished with the set of numbers a screen will show you how you did. Which number you worked on, the mode, and how long you took.
What we don't do: no timed tests, no multiple choice.

There is a total £100,000 funding up for grabs for projects to spark regeneration in south Lewisham.
Residents and organisations are invited to dream up creative projects which will help tenants at Phoenix Community Housing's 6,300 homes in Downham, Bellingham and Whitefoot wards.
The Community Chest scheme aims to give tenants a direct say on projects in their area and groups can apply for funding of up to around £1,500 each.
This is the second wave of funding which last year saw successful projects such as a new allotment clubhouse, holiday schemes for young people and support for carers.
Phoenix Community Housing chief executive Jim Ripley said: "We received a fantastic response to the first round of our Community Chest, with lots of bids and more than 400 people at our first voting event.
"We hope the second round will be even more successful and help us in our efforts to create a better future for the south Lewisham area.
"This scheme is all about handing over control to the experts – the residents who live in our properties and the organisations that work in our community.
"They're the ones who know the kind of projects that will have the biggest impact in their neighbourhood and to people's lives."
The deadline for applications is April 23. To find out more email email@example.com, call 0800 0285700 or 0844 2642844 and ask for the community links project team, or visit phoenixch.org.uk

DE Ebenezer Ogundeko Profile
The three-star outside linebacker, who's being recruited to Clemson as a defensive end, arrived to Tigertown on Friday.
"[I] just got to see most of the players and see how they were, and met most of the coaches," Ogundeko told CUTigers on Monday.
What was the primary message from the coaches as he got to know them on Friday?
"There's an opportunity to play early."
On Saturday, Ogundeko spent time with defensive ends coach Marion Hobby, had breakfast and saw the campus before heading to the game against South Carolina.
The campus and facilities "were good."
"I liked it," Ogundeko said.
He was impressed with the atmosphere in Death Valley.
"The atmosphere was great. It was the best I've seen, so far," Ogundeko said.
Before leaving Clemson on Sunday, he had a 1-on-1 meeting with head coach Dabo Swinney.
"It was good. He was saying I could come in and compete against the best players, have an opportunity to play early," Ogundeko said.
Ogundeko didn't get make it back home until Monday morning, because his Sunday flight from Atlanta was delayed.
Overall, how was the visit?
"It was good."
Up next is an official to Syracuse. He's already visited Arizona State and Florida.
A decision is on deck after the trip to Syracuse.
"I'm going to make my decision at the Under Armour game," he said.
Several factors will be considered as he works towards that decision.
"Where I have an opportunity to be great and play early, and get coached by good coaches," Ogundeko said.
Who leads?
"My top two are Florida and Clemson. They're pretty much tied."
Ogundeko added, "Both are great schools and I like them a lot."
As a senior at Brooklyn's Jefferson High School, Ogundeko had 74 tackles and 17 sacks.
Two tied at the top

Gas grill for cooking you fresh catch or the steaks from Shanner's Market just steps away. Super clean. Walking distance to 10 restaurants. Small grocery store 1 block away, great meat/fish for the grill. 1 Block to Pass A Grille Beach. Off street parking. Fully equipped unit, microwave, blender, grill, coffee maker, linens, towels, hair dryer, etc. Bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas included. Take a look at our reviews. See our other listing #3949072.
Karen Love and Jim Wilson bought this duplex while engaged to be married. (Karen was renting the unit.) We used it as a get-a-way initial, then we moved to the area permanently. In-Laws used it seasonally, till they moved to the area. 21 yrs, and 5 kids later, we are sharing it with others.
Jim Wilson purchased this house in 1993
This is a very clean comfortable 2 bed, 1 bath upstairs apt. Central heat and air. Nice, quite area of Pass A Grille. Convenient to Shanner's Market, and Circle K. Bikes can be provided. Easy walk to all Pass A Grille has to offer.
Pass A Grille is a very unique place. An eclectic group of bungalows and million dollar homes, pedestrian friendly community. A quite comfortable get away, with close proximity to down town St Petersburg and Tampa.
We just returned from our girls trip. First time to Pass a Grille. The unit was even better than we expected! And the walk to the beach was 5 minutes. This place was sparkling clean. Plenty of room for 4 adults. Beds were comfy. Jim's wife Karen stopped in the first day to check on us. Jim was out of town. She gave us some tips about the area & also brought us a laundry basket with extra bath towels!! The deck was great for our morning coffee & evening drinks. Not one negative thing to say about this unit. We would stay there again for sure!! Thanks Jim & Karen
Wonderful place to stay, no need for anything. Walking distance to everything. We are beach for the day people, so that's the most important thing to us. But we do have our regular places to go to eat n enjoy the evenings. Jim's place is clean and up to date. We'll be back...........Laurie n Lou
Location, location, location! Fabulous beach just a block away, walking distance to restaurants and Shaner's Land and Sea market. Very bright and cheery and Jim the owner is extremely attentive to all needs. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
This was our fifth time to stay in Pass A Griile, it only gets better every time. Jim's apartment was excellent.Clean and furnished with anything you need This location is close to everything you could ask for. We stayed a week and ate at The Wharf, Sea Critters and visited with our favorite bartender Ian, Brass Monkey, and picked up kabobs at Shanners that we cook on the grill one night. You don't really need your car for anything, but we choose to go to Woody's up the beach about three miles on Sunday's to enjoy karaoke and the locals and Sea Hags to watch the sail boats and fishermen come back before sunset. The deck outside if wonderful to set on at night. We will be back to this place and PAG! Thanks Jim
My Wife and I had a great time at the Pass A Grille Beach Apartment. It is so comfortable and clean. We had a great time sitting on the deck. 2 stores right around the corner and 3 restaurants! The beach is a minute walk and is beautiful. We walked and biked everywhere we went, and the bikes were provided by owner. We grilled fabulous steaks one night from the little grocery right around the corner, what a great place. The convenience store is nice also. You will love Pass A Grille Beach!
Great house, great location, great beach, love Pass-A-Grille! The weather did not cooperate with us on this trip but the homeowner had boogie boards available so we made due with the big waves and got pretty good at that. The reason for 4/5 stars is I would suggest blackout shades in the bedrooms since the windows let in a lot of light at night and did make it tough to sleep at times.
Historic Pass A Grille Beach neighborhood. Experience Florida untouched and the quite charm of this beautiful beach community.

Here at NF, we're focused on the health of the fishing industry. But we also try to pay attention to the health of the people in the industry, too.
Because commercial fishing is such a hazardous occupation, it's difficult for fishermen to obtain affordable health insurance for themselves and their families. The good news is that there are folks out there who want to help fishermen get more affordable health care that they and their families need.
Here in Maine, we can count the Casco Bay Fishing and Island Community Partnership of the University of Southern Maine School of Nursing among those folks.
The program is a community health initiative that serves Casco Bay's commercial fishermen and their families as well as residents on remote islands in the bay. It strives to investigate their health needs and works with the communities to respond to those needs.
Nursing school students in the partnership participate in activities such as flu shot clinics and health screenings. For example, last fall, the partnership held a flu shot clinic at Becky's Diner, a wharf side eatery here in Portland. And the partnership annually conducts a health screening at the Maine Fishermen's Forum in Rockport.
Program volunteers at the 2013 Fishermen's Forum like Kieran Donaghey, seen in this photo from the partnership's Facebook page, offered free blood pressure checks, glucose and cholesterol screenings. They also had a limited amount of tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis shots available for a $10 donation (or for free if you couldn't afford it).
How, you ask, can the partnership offer these services at such reduced rates? The partnership holds a variety of fundraisers to support the program. In fact, one is coming up this Saturday, July 27 at Spring Point Tavern in South Portland. There will be door prizes, a 50-50 raffle, a silent auction from 6 to 9:30 p.m., plus live music courtesy of Capt. Ray and the Castaways from 8:30 p.m. to close.
I know a good cause when I see one, so I'm planning to go and contribute to help keep a worthy program — and fishermen and their families — going strong.
Pat Fiorelli, the long-serving public affairs officer for the New England Fishery Management Council, will step down at the end of July.Read more...
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation announced last week the sixth round of grant awards from its Fisheries Innovation Fund, a program launched in 2010 to foster innovations that support sustainable fisheries in the United States.
The goal of the Fisheries Innovation Fund is to sustain fishermen and fishing communities while simultaneously rebuilding fish stocks.Read more...

On deck: Diamondbacks at Dodgers, Friday, 7 p.m.
Where: Dodger Stadium
TV: SportsNet LA, 7 p.m. (available on Time Warner and Bright House Networks cable providers only)
Did you know: In his 14 starts since Aug. 5, Dodgers RHP Zack Greinke is 10-1 with a 1.72 ERA, holding opposing batters to a .213 average with 87 strikeouts and 17 walks in 89 innings. He has not allowed more than two runs in any of his past 15 starts.
Diamondbacks report: The Diamondbacks (4-14) are off to the worst start in baseball, prompting questions about the job security of Manager Kirk Gibson. The Dodgers have had a lot to do with that. They have swept two series from the Diamondbacks (in Australia and in Arizona last weekend), outscoring them, 32-17, in five games.THE PITCHERS
Greinke will be facing the Diamondbacks for the second consecutive start. That's a good thing for the Dodgers. He is 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA in four starts against the Diamondbacks as a Dodger. Saturday's start in Arizona wasn't one of his best, though. He gave up eight hits and needed 103 pitches to get through 51/3 innings but allowed just one run.
Vs. Diamondbacks: 3-3, 4.96
At Dodger Stadium: 10-2, 2.13
Loves to face: Cliff Pennington, 0 for 11, 3 Ks
Hates to face: Paul Goldschmidt, 5 for 15 (.333), 2 2B, HR
Miley would be off to a pretty good start – if he didn't have to face the Dodgers. In two starts against them, he is 0-2 with a 7.20 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP. In two starts in between against Colorado and San Francisco, Miley is 2-0 with a 3.60 ERA. He hasn't made it past the fifth inning against the Dodgers. But he comes into this start with a hot bat – he has hits in his past four at-bats.
Vs. Dodgers: 3-3, 4.21
At Dodger Stadium: 3-0, 2.57
Loves to face: Juan Uribe, 3 for 14 (.214)
Hates to face: Scott Van Slyke, 4 for 11 (.364), 2 2B, 2 HR
Saturday – Diamondbacks RHP Mike Bolsinger (MLB debut) vs. Dodgers RHP Dan Haren (2-0, 2.04), 5 p.m.
Sunday – Diamondbacks RHP Josh Collmenter (0-1, 3.75) vs. Dodgers RHP Josh Beckett (0-0, 4.00), 1 p.m.

Somnath congratulates Mamata on her party`s victory
Kolkata: Former Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath
Chatterjee on Sunday wrote to Trinamool Congress chief Mamata
Banerjee congratulating her on the party`s resounding victory
in the West Bengal Assembly elections.
"I wrote a letter to her congratulating her on her
party`s victory. I have done this out of courtesy," he said.
He said Banerjee had thanked him over telephone for
the letter and had promised to visit him at a convenient time.
In 1984, Banerjee had entered Parliament for the first
time after defeating Chatterjee, the then CPI(M) heavyweight,
in the Jadavpur Lok Sabha constituency.
Chatterjee was expelled from the CPI(M) when he
refused his party`s whip to vote against the government in the
July 2008 vote of confidence in Parliament.

Physics Today Daily Edition
Solar Impulse completes first solar-powered round-the-world flight
The formation of the Martian moons
China ramps up space missions
Science: China's space program has set an ambitious schedule as it tries to be seen as an equal partner to NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). The schedule includes launching more than four missions over the next 13 months. Moreover, the country's lunar exploration program hopes to launch a sample return mission next year, and its first-ever landing on the far side of the moon is planned for 2018. Beginning in 2020 China will launch four science missions and the nation's first Mars probe. Unlike NASA or ESA, the Chinese space program doesn't receive annual funding but instead gets one lump sum every five years. That arrangement doesn't adjust for inflation or allow for last-minute plan changes. In addition, the country's different space agencies are competing for scarce resources and missions. The solution, say Chinese space administrators is to merge agencies into one.

Product Description
The Olympus SZ-31MR: Flagship 24x 'Super Zoom' nudges further ahead via Touch LCD and image enhancing iHS technologies
Click here for a larger image
Want a big zoom but not a bulky camera? With its 24x optical zoom remaining an impressive feat of modern engineering, the new range topping Olympus SZ-31MR travel zoom comes with the lightest, smallest and dare we suggest cutest body of any compact to boast a optical zoom beyond 20x. Furthermore we believe it records the best quality moving pictures of any pocket-sized camera available today. And the SZ-31MR retains another Olympus first: the ability to capture Full HD 1080 movies and 16 megapixel stills simultaneously.
Compared to the previous generation model the Olympus SZ-31MR boasts faster AF, a brighter LCD, plus its ingenious and innovative features including Multi Framing and Live Guide have been further refined to make them even easier to use.
Added to this, powerful new technologies under the banner heading of 'iHS' (Intelligence, High Sensitivity and High Speed) make it possible to capture great shots in formerly challenging situations, such as in low light or when shooting subjects which are backlit. ISO 80 to ISO6400 is further offered. Alternatively turn on the built-in flash.
Factor in video and stills capture at impressively high frame rates and the ability to replay photo slideshows with music and transitional effects and the SZ-31MR is a must have for anyone wanting a powerful camera in a pocket-friendly package.

Exceptional quality in any situation and in any format
Olympus' innovative new iHS technologies give the SZ-31MR the power to capture not only superb stills and video clips, but the two simultaneously. It draws on Olympus' 16-megapixel CMOS sensor and not the usual one but two separate TruePic V image processors, originally developed for DSLR cameras. Delivering high-speed shooting and high speed autofocus, iHS cuts down picture noise and enhances resolution and colour for tricky shooting scenarios such as quick moving subjects and night scenes.
Multi Recording and Multi Framing when married with the dual TruePic V image processors also provide photographers with the ability to do more than ever with the one camera, including shoot video and stills at the same time, two movies in different modes or capture the same scene with different framings. A simple tap on the 3-inch, 920k dot resolution LCD takes a photo while a recording is taking place without interrupting it.

Multi-motion Movie IS
The cutting edge technology of Multi Motion Movie IS works in tandem with Dual Image Stabilisation and complements the Olympus SZ-31MR's High Definition Movie capability by reducing blur. The result is that even when you're filming fast moving subjects and simultaneously on the move yourself, the resulting HD video is clear, crisp and vivid.
Of course IS can also be crucial for preventing blur when taking macro shots of small subjects or getting close in on subject matter from afar by deploying the full telephoto reach of the zoom.
A touch of class at every turn – and Live Guide too
As well as 16-megapixel CMOS sensor the Olympus SZ-31MR incorporates a slick, touch sensitive 3-inch, 920k dot resolution LCD into its stylishly compact body.
This does away with distracting buttons and provides access to unique Olympus system features such as its clever Live Guide. With the camera in i-Auto mode, this makes it easier for less experienced users to adjust the likes of depth of field – the portion of the image that is sharply in focus – plus brightness, merely by swiping a finger across an on-screen slider bar.
Touch Shutter allows the user to focus on and photograph any subject simply by touching where they appear on the LCD. Touch AF meanwhile as it sounds focuses automatically on any subject that is touched, and they remain in focus even if they move.
24x wide optical zoom & 16-megapixel resolution
Although compact in size, like its predecessor quality hasn't been compromised. Offering a focal range the equivalent of 25-600mm in 35mm film terms that stays true to Olympus' remarkable world class pedigree, users of the metal bodied SZ-31MR can zoom right in on close detail from afar without having to physically take one step nearer. A 16-megapixel resolution also helps ensure that shots are detail rich every time, while a Super resolution Zoom digitally extends the capabilities of the existing zoom with little loss in picture quality.

12 Magic Filters for turning the everyday into the extraordinary
Specifically designed to expand the creative potential of digital photography, this impressive function of the SZ-31MR utilises in-camera image processing technology to effortlessly transform the everyday into extraordinary scenes. Simple to operate, the filters allow users to create entirely new worlds with their images. From vibrant colours and pencil drawings to mysterious or rounded perspectives, artistic spirits can magically turn ideas into reality. What's more, most of the filters can be used when recording video as well as shooting stills.
Users can choose from Punk, Pop Art, Pin Hole, Drawing, Fish Eye, Soft Focus, Sparkle (photos only), Watercolour, Miniature, Reflection, Fragmented (photos only) and Dramatic (photos only).
- Punk: Pose like Sid and Nancy and have your world turned dayglo pink, with this fun feature that transforms your photos into crudely photocopied fanzine style images, but in a good way.
- Pop Art: In the tradition of Andy Warhol, this effect enhances colours, making them stronger and more vivid. It creates high-impact pictures that express the happy, light-hearted feeling of the pop art style.
- Fish-Eye: With its distorted 180-degree perspective, this filter reproduces the dramatic effect of a fish-eye lens. It lends a new perspective to the whole scene with a "round" effect.
- Drawing: This filter gives the impression that subjects have been sketched on the fly by an artist just at the moment that inspiration struck. Images are transformed into line drawings for improvised, creative results.
- Pin Hole: For an ethereal feel, Pin Hole reduces the peripheral brightness of images like an image seen through a pinhole. Added to this is a unique colour tone that results in a style that has an air of secrecy or portrays the feeling of being lost in another dimension or space.
- Soft Focus: Give your portraits that romantic otherworldly look beloved of wedding photographers.
- Sparkle: A photos only Magic Filter that truly imparts a sprinkling of fairy dust, adding twinkling reflections to shiny objects.
- Watercolour: With this option pictures are transformed into a watercolour painting framed by soft light.
- Fragmented: This newest photos-only filter can be applied to a photo of a landscape or people to produce a collage of tiles that looks as if the photo has been cut up and reassembled, providing an almost three dimensional feel.
- Reflection: A simulation of a magical horizontal reflection of your subject: for example as if it or they were standing next to perfectly still water.
- Miniature: Capture your subject and present them as if on a toy town scale.
- Dramatic: A photos only Magic Filter that adds a sense of drama and foreboding to any shot for stunning results even on the dullest of days.
Eye-Fi card compatible
Connectivity is also enhanced by the Olympus SZ-31MR being compatible with Eye-Fi media cards, enabling automatic wireless downloading of pictures, straight to your desktop, and facilitating photo sharing. Of course the camera is also compatible with regular SDHC and SDXC media cards.

Automatic aids help deliver better pictures easier
Automatic aids to further perfect picture taking include Face Detection and Shadow Adjustment Technology to ensure perfect focus and exposure for any given subject. Then there's HDR Backlight Adjustment to deploy when shooting against the light, and Handheld Starlight mode for shake free results when photographing at night without a tripod.
Add in Olympus' intelligent auto mode (i-Auto) and AF tracking for easy setting and focusing, Beauty mode for zapping zits, Pet Detection mode for automatically capturing the facial expressions of dogs and cats when they look at the camera, Scene Mode for optimal results in common conditions plus a high speed continuous shooting mode offering up to 60fps if opting for 3 megapixel mode and the SZ-31MR is a camera that is more than the sum of its parts.
3D photo shooting & in-camera Panorama feature
The Olympus range is now enhanced by optional 3D shooting mode, lending images a striking sense of depth. This mode captures two shots from two different angles to create shots that can be viewed on a 3D compatible display.
An in-camera Panorama mode further allows for images with drama and beauty combined.

In the box one will find the battery for the camera (Li-50BA), a camera charger UK standard, a camera charger European standard, an USB cable (CB-USB8) for connecting camera to a computer for charging or for uploading pictures, an AV cable (CB-AVC3) for TV connection, a hand strap (greenish rather than black - perhaps the only thing that it is not quite right)), a basic manual in 29 languages, a stylus to set the LCD screen and a CD which contains the Olympus manual and Olympus Viewer 2 which is the picture management software provided by Olympus. It does not come with a memory card which is needed from the very beginning as the internal memory of the camera cannot store more than, I think 6 pictures in full size - this is common with cameras these days.
Memory cards that can be used: SD/SDHC/SDXC or Eye-Fi cards. It is not compatible with Endless Eye-Fi.
The charging time is 3.5 hours and the date stamp is not available for panoramic and 3D pictures. It does not take pictures in RAW format. The default format for pictures is JPEG and for recordings is MOV.
The minimum requirements to install the software that comes with the camera, are, XP for Windows and Mac OS x v10.4.11 for Macintosh; Intel core Solo/Duo 1.5GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 1MB hard drive space available, 1024 x 768 pixels screen. The camera can be used with older computers running Windows XP Home edition and Mac OS x 10.3 as mass storage - it means one cannot use the software for pictures management.Read more ›
After looking at the offerings from Panasonic (TZ30), Canon (SX240) and Sony (HX20), I stumbled upon the new Olympus SZ31-MR and was intrigued by the sophistication of the electronics (eg, the dual image processor, the latest type of CMOS sensor and the 920k touch screen), the wide 25mm lens which zooms all the way to 600mm and the fact that it was bang up to date with the latest features (eg, movies from full 1080p through to 120 & 240 frames per second, sweep & manual panorama and HDR mode where it takes three exposures to create a balanced composite picture when there are extremes of light and dark in the scene).
The paucity of independent reviews worried me but I found one at letsgodigital which really impressed me and there was also a very experienced photographer on dpreview's Olympic Talk Forum whose enthusiasm for his new SZ-31 (and the quality of his pictures with the camera) was quite infectious.
I downloaded the 80 page manual from the Olympus site and that confirmed to me that this camera was the one for me.
I've only had the camera for a week but took quite a few pictures at our village Diamond Jubilee street party (all on Auto) and they look excellent.Read more ›
NO FEARS ... this camera is AWESOME. FABULOUS ... I have not tried everything but what I have used has produced pictures of exceptional quality. The 24x zoom is great, the doubler produces something 'out of this world' !! (24x zoom = 600mm in 35m value, the doubler = 1200mm) It comes with an anti-shake feature too, so you get clear pictures even if you do wobble. Indoor shots with or without the flash are very good as well.
I recommend though that you also get a second battery - ABC ABC Products® Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Li50b Li-50b for Olympus plus at least one Kingston Technology 16GB Full Size SDHC Class 10 Flash Card - I got two of these - excellent product. This Olympus camera is very light, it fits in the pocket, the lens cover is built in too, switch it on ...point and shoot. The touchscreen is very useful too. If you see what you want to shoot on the screen, touch the item on the screen and it shoots automatically.
I could go on and on but from what I have tried, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA WITHOUT HESITATION ..... FABULOUS, EXCELLENT ....

Does anyone know what that material is called? It's fibrous and dark brown, cut or molded into posts buried in the soil and sticking up, and various types of philodendrons will send support roots into it as they grow upwards. Thanks!
ID for the fibrous 'posts' that philodendron roots grow into
Sure don't know what that is...but I've seen them in small versions for house plants before.
Good Luck....
Could you be describing coir (coconut bark)? It is brown and used in planting baskets.......If it can be shaped into basket form, could as well be shaped as described.
The fibers are thicker than what I see described as coir (lining for hanging baskets), darker brown, and pretty rigid...it might be that but it would have to have been treated in some way.Thanks!
I know what you are talking about, but I haven't seen any in years. They used to be everywhere. I'll be watching to see if anyone knows!
I just saw some at Calloway's Nursery here in the DFW area - in the houseplant section.
I used to see them at Home Depot in the houseplant section, so maybe they still carry them?
I don't remember seeing them for the last few years until yesterday. They're not just compressed "sticks" of fiber any more - they're made of some kind of netting over a bundle of what looks like coconut fiber.
Have fun!
Oh.. I know what you mean.. I see it all the time
it's I believe what you're refering to.. Tree Fern posts.. or as this catalog calls them tree fern totems
Well..I bet I have some in one of my pots..I believe park princess..or is it pink princess.. philodendrum is growing over one somewhere here
BINGO!!!! Gordon that is exactly the ones I remember. I couldn't find them anywhere. I bookmarked that web site.
Thank you Gordon! This is it exactly. I and my philodendrons thank you! Bob
Great Pam... glad it was a help
Bob... Oh good... I thought that was what you were taling about I'd seen it about.. and a few years ago someone gave it to me for a plant that was languishing... but it immproved greatly with the tree fern post.. I'm a believer in it now..
I'm glad it was a help to you also...

Uli Hoeness, President of German and European football champions Bayern Munich, has been sentenced to 3.5 years in jail for tax evasion.
Hoeness was initially charged with concealing EUR 3.5 M worth of taxes, but later admitted to a much larger sum of EUR 15 M. The final equation amounted to EUR 27.2 M that he owes, according to the BBC.
The court in Munich found the 62-year-old guilty of seven serious counts of tax evasion. Initially, the prosecution had called for a 5.5 year jail sentence.
Hoeness and his defence have a week to appeal the verdict.

Very professional and quick service. Everything went well.
Staff was very friendly and helpful will use again
Light in back of truck did not work. Can had very strong smell of burnt rubber
Not much I can think of. One of the best vehicle rental experiences I have ever had. thanks!
Very hurried at checkout..no walkthrough of the vehicle before I drove off.
Very simple return of truck. I was on my way in under 5 minutes.
I happen to be in College for Business Management and Marketing. I would like to express how amazed I am at the huge transformation of U-HAUL over the years, of course for the better ! I am amazed at the new app which makes check in so much easier, the trucks are new and clean and in excellent condition. My experience has been more than pleasurable and will highly recommend this location to everyone I know. The staff was also very friendly and knowledgeable. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. DONT CHANGE A THING !
Everything went so smoothly for me. I will be renting again in the near future to finish up a really big job!
It had confusing directions on Waze and Google maps - both my ride and myself got lost!
Third time in the last few months we needed a truck, always clean and well maintained
Quick efficient service. Easy check in/checkout. Came back little later than I originally planned and was not charged more. I was very impressed and will rent again as well as recommend to friends and family.
Thank you all so much for making moving this far less stressful than it could have been. I had an amazing experience! Highly Reccommend.
Waited 15 mins for a representative and was very clustered in parking lot hard to get around
When i got to the counter and swiped my card for the hold on the rental i was quoted the wrong price. Thankfully I was charged correctly though. I have had problems with this location before but this time waa much better with the exception of the quote.
Friendly staff. Truck was new and clean. Great service!
Not happy eing told I was getting a refund from the amount on hold, and then no you are not getting a refund, People need to know what they are saying and doing when it comes to working with the public.
Rented 26 foot truck Thur afternoon. Spent remainder of Thur, Fri and loaded a trailer and remAinder of truck Sat morning. Arrived in triangle NY late Sat afternoon. Unloaded to storage Sunday morning and part of the afternoon. That was stated when we rented the truck and trail an we said it would not be returned until late afternoon on Sunday. Then we receive phone call looking for truck and trailer early Sunday. We need to sleep sometime. One more day would be needed. That made the return on time and at Front Street as stated at pick up. Was billed for wrong location. It was the location that we stated at pick up. So I am billed for two items wrong location when we dropped of on the correct day and location as stated at pickup.
Everything went well. The team seemed efficient in their work, and were polite and professional.
Large regional UHaul representative.
Well organized. I have rented here and dropped off here. Nothing needed here in terms of improvement.
Customer service was great but the price was not explained very well. I feel like your $19.95 a day is super deceiving.
Maybe if employee wasn't smoking while hooking up my trailer. Seemed a little unprofessional for 2016.
Have u haul get cruise control, it was invented in the 60s!
Seriously, 2100 miles,
Great people working hard they was short handed at the time so there was a wait but they were getting people out as fast as they can I couldn't ask for any better services
Thanks Jon and everyone who helped me out

Op-Ed: Whitney Houston's death worthy of sadness not condemnation
Yukio Strachan
Feb 16, 2012 in
It was shortly after 7:15pm on Saturday evening, when I first heard the announcement that Whitney Houston had died in her hotel room.
While researching a story for an article, I happened to glance at the website's side bar and there it was, "Whitney Houston dead at the age of 48."
Yeah right,
I thought to myself,
this is nothing but the same hoax they played on Cher a couple weeks ago, Whitney's not dead
On Facebook, my friends reacted the same way, "That's the same thing I thought, Yukio," said Latrice, my friend from elementary school.
Comments on Twitter echoed Facebook.
"If @AP is wrong about this, I'm DONE with them. #whitney,"
tweeted New York Times Opinion Columnist Charles Blow
referring to the Associated Press report on Houston's death. "I was having dinner, but this Whitney Houston has upset me so that I've lost my appetite..."
And so did I.
I grew up listening to her music. The Greatest Love of all was the first song I memorized all the words to and the first song I listened to and watched on YouTube after I let it sink in that she had died.
As I mouthed the words to the lyrics, I laughed as I remembered being a young girl bracing myself for the moment in a singing competition, that a girl who could barely reach the mic, would take a deep breath and sing "I believe the children are our future..."
It didn't matter if the words were correct or if they hit the song's explosive high notes, it only mattered that they were, at that moment in time, Whitney.
Now she's dead.
'Houston wanted to kill herself'
"There were no obvious signs of foul play," Lt. Mark Rosen, a spokesman for the Beverly Hills Police Department, said. "It's still fresh an investigation to know whether — the reality is she was too far too young to die and any time you have the death of someone this age it is the subject of an investigation."
But law enforcement sources told CBS News that while there were no illegal substances found in Houston's hotel room, there were prescription drugs.
Media reports of possible prescription drugs in her room, alluding to overdose, made it sorely tempting to assign Whitney Houston chief blame in her own death.
"Whether or not drugs were involved in Houston's death, her well-publicized battles with addiction should serve as a lesson for everyone to steer away from drugs,"
wrote Steve Angeles with ABS-CBN News
Others say she should have left R&B bad boy and former New Edition front man Bobby Brown much earlier, a man who cut her head off in pictures, a man who slapped her and spit in her face, using Houston as a human punching bag. And still others take the faith route saying had Whitney really trusted in the Lord and had faith, she too would have risen above her demons, because God is able.
Or if you let Fox host Bill O'Reilly tell it, "Whitney Houston wanted to kill herself." he said on his show Monday night,
the Huffington Post reported.
"Nobody takes drugs for that long if they want to stay on the planet. She follows in the footsteps of Elvis, Janis Joplin, Michael Jackson, and scores of other entertainment figures. The hard truth is that some people will always want to destroy themselves."
"I'm not a person who wants to die," Houston told ABC's Diane Sawyer in 2002. "I'm a person who has life and wants to live."
She wanted to live.
"Ten years from now, give me the perfect life for Whitney Houston," Sawyer asked in that 2002 interview.
Houston said she saw herself
in 2012 "retired. Sitting, looking at my daughter grow up, become a great woman of God, grandchildren."
She wanted to live.
Understanding Drug Addiction
Sayings such as Houston wanted to kill herself and other "repeated cautionary warnings has demonstrated its limitations, perhaps because the cautions do not respect the individual when they exhort change without understanding," said Vincent J. Felitti, MD, Co-Principal Investigator of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Study
, the largest-scale study to date of the incidence and effects of childhood trauma.
Addiction is best viewed as an "unconscious although understandable decisions being made to seek chemical relief from the ongoing effects of old trauma, often at the cost of accepting future health risk,"Felitti writes.
The New York Times reported that
"In the mid-2000s Ms. Houston went to rehab at least twice, and she was in rehab again as recently as last year."
When rehab fails, the research found, the person who is addicted may not be the one at fault, but the program itself. For rehab to be beneficial, some treatment programs may need to restructure in order to "deal with underlying causes rather than to focus on substance withdrawal."
If it does come back that Houston's death was drug related, my hope is that her death helps our society to have more compassion for those who suffer under the weight of addiction instead of condemnation.
Compassion does not mean condoning the behavior. It does mean understanding what causes the behavior and being ready to look at our own behavior that may fuel addiction in others.
