I found a couple great sites and just had to share...
How could I possibly resist the shirt Gray's wearing here???
Check out Urban Baby Runway when you get the chance for cute & original selections for baby & mom! Shipping was super-fast and their customer service is excellent! I must also recommend the karate pants (super soft!!)
And, for nursing moms out there, I found some really stylish nursing tops at Expressiva- they have a big sale going on right now. Use this coupon code (thank you Mothering magazine!) for free shipping: MFEB
I will rave about Expressiva's customer service, too- after I received my order I noticed that all the items I ordered went on sale. They were so awesome to give me a price adjustment. I also needed to exchange a shirt for a different one and I can't believe how fast they did the exchange!! You do have to pay for shipping when sending a return, but the exchanged item ships back for free. I can't wait to see what they offer for fall!

We Give Babies Tender Loving Care
When you come to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Paoli Hospital, you can be confident that you and your newborn are in the best hands. Our unit is staffed by a team of medical professionals, each with a specific role in maintaining the health and well-being of you and your baby.
Neonatologists are pediatricians who are specially trained in the area of newborn medicine. Our full-time neonatologists share the responsibilities of patient care and provide in-hospital coverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for premature babies and seriously ill newborns.
In addition to the neonatologist, specialists in pediatric neurology, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, urology and surgery support the NICU staff as needed. Additional pediatric specialists from other pediatric centers in the region are also available on a consultative basis. Physicians in the hospital's diagnostic departments of Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Pathology provide ongoing services in evaluating patients.
These specially trained NICU nurses work under the direct supervision of the neonatologist. Their advanced training allows them to help manage the care of the infant, as well as perform procedures similar to those performed by the neonatologists.
NICU nurses are specially educated and experienced in the care of high-risk and premature infants. The primary care nurse plans an infant's care with the neonatologist, the parents and other healthcare professionals.
Respiratory systems of infants in the NICU are often adversely affected by prematurity and serious illness. Registered respiratory therapists are available around the clock to aid in this important aspect of treatment. They perform aerosol and chest physiotherapy, assist the neonatologists and nursing staff with the management of ventilator care, and are responsible for the maintenance of all respiratory equipment.
If a baby requires a prolonged hospital stay, registered physical, speech and occupational therapists are called upon to assist in the infant's developmental progress by planning exercise programs to be carried out by the nursing staff on a regular basis.
A social worker counsels parents and directs them to other helpful community resources. In addition to serving as the coordinator of parent support groups, the social worker directly counsels individual parents to help them cope with the emotional stress and practical problems associated with having a baby in the NICU.
These specialists assess the level of development of premature infants. Any child who may be at risk for developmental delays will be evaluated through the first two years of life. Through the Neurodevelopment Follow-up Program, infants and toddlers are assessed every three months for achievement of developmental milestones. Infants who demonstrate difficulties are referred for early intervention, a state-funded therapy support service.

I do appreciate working directly on the latest ASP.NET MVC technology these days for actual money. Extreme penny pinchers use Microsoft technology and these cheapskates tend to stay behind the latest stuff—in my experience over eight years behind. With this great opportunity comes great responsibility. So, today, let's try to see how well a developer with salt-and-pepper hair can respond to what the kids are pounding out in Redmond:
One incorrect assumption I made when looking at ASP.NET MVC was the pessimistic view that the classic Web Forms crowd would jealously stand still. Yes, the release of ASP.NET 4 would be some sad competitive crap that would childishly ignore what the MVC team was doing. My assumption was wrong. Dan Maharry's "ASP.NET 4.0 Part 12, Routing Helper Functions":
With our routes defined, we can now set up hyperlinks between routes. All we need are the name of the route and the values of any route parameters. If we need to do it inline in the code (perhaps because it's part of a data-binding operation) we can use the new
<%$RouteUrl %>syntax.
One (me) could make the mistake that since the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle Overview as described by MSDN appears to not have changed (much) for years, this appearance of Routing (from the MVC world) could easily be overlooked as Routing is plugged in higher in the stack, above the ASP.NET "Page" concept (it's an HTTP Module). Better than this MSDN piece is the award-winning CodeProject.com article, "ASP.NET Application and Page Life Cycle" by Shivprasad koirala (see also: "What is the 'page lifecycle' of an ASP.NET MVC page, compared to ASP.NET WebForms?" from StackOverflow.com). In attempt to not overlook here, one has this: "What's New in ASP.NET 4 and Visual Web Developer"—and this: "URL Routing with ASP.NET 4.0" by Brij.
One terrible way to approach ASP.NET MVC for the first time is to be the guy that is "Using WebControls In ASP.NET MVC Views." Having this very thoughtful article in my personal notes show my careful consideration for MVC beginners coming from the world of Web Forms, tempted by "the obvious."
This MSDN article, "Events in ASP.NET Master and Content Pages," lists no less than 17 events for ASP.NET master pages. This list clearly applies to Web Forms as any "control loading" events should not exist in ASP.NET MVC (but they do).
I need to form the habit of regularly reviewing the System.Web.UI.HtmlControls Namespace. New controls, like
HtmlLink, have been added since ASP.NET 2.0. Also, knowing how the
Control.ClientID property works is also futuristic in ASP.NET land (actually, the knowing the role of
ClientIDMode is the key here).
What should make ASP.NET look super cool to any developer that likes to write code is what Rob Conery writes about in "ASP.NET MVC: Securing Your Controller Actions":
ASP.NET MVC Preview 2 introduces the new
ActionFilterAttribute, which allows you to declare "Filter Attributes" for the actions on your controller. Think of these things, in essence, as
OnLoadevents'Äîa bit of code that's executed before or after your Action.
This use of attributes for a Web application goes farther, one can see this in "is [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] deprecated or to be deprecated in ASP.NET MVC 2 or later?":
No, it'Äôs not deprecated, and it won't be, because
[AcceptVerbs]is the only way to decorate a method that accepts several (but not all) verbs.
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post | HttpVerbs.Put)]
It's also the only way you can specify a verb that's not one of the "core four", such as those which are part of WebDAV:
Matt Hawley shows me that the use of attributes make secure patterns like the "ASP.NET MVC—Using Post, Redirect, Get Pattern" possible.
Finally, this article, "Integrating Silverlight and ASP.NET MVC," by Tim Heuer gets me back into triple-threat mode by using JSON (with
DataContractSerializer) from ASP.NET MVC to be consumed as POCOs:
Why not use
System.Jsonand LINQ to JSON? You could absolutely. In doing so you could use your LINQ skills and get the data out of the Json stream and put it into a new object. You'll still have to create a local class representation because Silverlight can't bind to an anonymous type. This is the first reason I like just using the serializer. The second reason is size. I don't know why I'm so picky, but I am. Using the
DataContractSerializermethod here, my app is about 7K. Adding a reference to
System.Jsonand using those methods, my app is 27K. For me, there is no additional benefit in code for what I'm doing to add that extra size, so I choose not to. But you can…absolutely. Your application needs may be different and the size cost/benefit analysis may result in a different outcome than mine…but there, I've stated my reasons here.
My triple-threat (my "grand unified user interface"), by the way, means to be ASP.NET MVC, WPF and Silverlight:

Canon PowerShot SX40 HS Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
145 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
We've tested this camera finding its performance is akin for the casual photographer looking for high picture quality and reliability.
I wish that you had labeled the Sample images more fully. As there are no focal lengths listed and what is with the sharp and blurry top and bottom of the building shot at wide aperture. Is this a special setting to give you a diorama type appearance. There is no explanation that I found.
My last comment with the name of John RS is a real comment not spam.
Thanks for the review of the Canon SX40 HS. My comment is that there is one item in the review that is factually incorrect. The SX40 does, indeed, have external flash capability. The hotshoe is hidden by what Canon calls a "hot shoe cap." You can find out all about it in the User's Manual: page 38 shows the location of the hotshoe cap with the hotshoe being just beneath it; page 180 & 181 speaks about the cap and of using external flash; pages 2 & 211 show a picture of the hotshoe case; and page 212 lists the recommended flash units for the SX40 HS. Just thought you should know.
The SX40 HS does have external flash capability. You can read about it in the User's Manual on pages 2, 38, 180, 181, 211, and 212 has the recommended flash units.
From the business point of view, I have to hand it the the folks at Canon. They seem to know that buyers of bridge cameras are the most likely to upgrade every year or two. Those buying $100.00 point and shoots don't care and will keep them until they stop clicking. Those buying prosumer or better DSLRs have already invested large sums and will keep their present equipment until it goes or until there is a signifigant change. Having had the just upgraded from the SX 30 to the SX 40, I can say that the improvements were enough to make the upgrade worth my while, but not so great as to cannibalize sales of more profitable DSLR bodies and lenses. This camera serves as a great complement to my "throwaway" kodaks and my micro 4/3 system. (panasonic G1 and Olympus EPl-1, with kit lenses and 40-150 and 100-300 zooms). I use the Kodak when I MIGHT take pictures, the Canon when I WILL take pictures, and the micro 4/3 when I am out for the purpose of taking pictures. This reminds me of a friend who is a bicycling enthusiast. He uses a $50.00 clunker for commuting in bad weather, a $1000.00 hybrid bike for 50 mile rides with friends and training, and a $4000.00 carbon fiber wonder for race day
i'm planning to buy this camera, thanks for the review
One other thing I forgot…the SX40 HS can also accept filters. Go to the Canon website and click on the "accessories" section. I'm not sure if it takes a 58mm or a 67mm, but it's one or the other. The Nikon P500 and Sony HX100v, as good as they may be, cannot accept filters.
I agree with you….I get the same spam message when I post here, yet I get the photography blod email every day. Go figure.
It appears, that the price is an important thing you criticise. Well, here in Germany the camera is available for 410 € @ amazon. At ebay, you even get the camera for less money.
You won't get a DSLR for this price….
Wha the heck such a small sensor??? Why they couldn't put the S100 sensor inside??? Silly
This is what bill john says: The SX40 HS does have external flash capability. You can read about it in the User's Manual on pages 2, 38, 180, 181, 211, and 212 has the recommended flash units.
I do agree with him. I have had this camera for 2 weeks today. and IAM really shock with the verdict of this site. I have been a loyal reader of this photographyblog site. Before buying this camera, I have done intensive research in every site and most of the them give highly recommendation for this camera.
And I think Gavin stoker need to read the manual before reviewing this camera.
What a shame.
I got this camera for £260 in the UK..Not a P&S fan.I got it for portability on my holidays..Having previously owned a Sony HX100V..I can tell you this Camera blows the Sony away..The detail at maximum zoom is real good..Foliage on distant trees is detailed,Unlike the Sony which is just cludge…Kudos to Canon for dropping the MPx to just over 12m…I have the Sony A500 SLR and some good Minolta lenses.It's hardly used..This camera is that good..R.
I bought this camera for £289 in the uk.superb value for money.I got it to avoid a dslr,huge lens and huge expense and dragging kit about.I have a g2 and two zoom lenses and the canon gives better results especially sharpness.my only quibble is lack of raw but it's not a deal breaker.souped up point and shoot for the price of a dlsr and kit lens?! I don't think we are on the same planet.
It comes as no surprise how many readers have responded to this review in so short of time; far more than would have to a review of a cheap point and shoot or a pro DSLR. I think a large portion of PB readers is made of of those who want the best bridge camera, those already using one, and entry DSLR users wishing they bought one
i just bought this camera, want to learn photogarphy and take gd. pics, did i make the right choice, i thought the slr was heavy and the lenses too
The Canon does indeed have a hot shoe flash bracket. Thae fact that you did not find it makes one wonder how well you know the camera and it's capabilities. It is a superb piece of kit actually
Odd that you mention the image quality. Yours is the only blog I found to date which finds fault with it. Every other review praises it@s image quality
I questioned specifically the image quality of 2 shots. The building shots at wide apertures. The foreground and backgrounds are very blurry while the central part of the shots were sharp. Was this a special feature (mode)? While the slightly smaller apertures were sharp all the way through the photo. Without more info in the photo descriptions one is left in the dark. These are the questions. Not a complaint on overall image quality as that is very good.
i have a sony hx100v n my friend bought canon sx40hs 2 weeks ago. so i have a firsthand experience of the two cams. If u talk about quality then my sony will get 9/10 and his canon 10/10 compared to each other.
noise - sony 8.5/10 n canon 9.5/10 noise comparison is best available on cameralabs website. Features - sony - 10/10 n canon 7/10. so if u want to have some fun thn offcourse hx100v. additional 5x zoom in sx40 doesnt give much diffrnce on image. sony is smallr too.
so overall evn though sx40 is best bridge camera to date in terms of image quality n noise level its still isnt best overall.. so if only the image quality n noise level is ur concern then close ur eyes n buy SX40hs. If you cn do even a 10% adjustment in its quality thn open ur eyes 4 othr bridge like Sony Hx100V.
I hope no-one is pondering purchasing this camera on the strength of the photo's displayed here..!!
This camera is capable of achieving FAR higher quality pics.
I recently took my SX40 for the ultimate test- an indoor music gig,with poor lighting,no use of flash,and at up to 300mm(equivalent)range,for close "face" shots. I shot in Aperture priority,wide open,iso1600- and the results were excellent.
And as much as it pains me to say it- outperformed my beloved old 350D Canon..!!
The only real alternative to this VERY impressive camera is Panasonic's FZ150- which might just(only just)lag behind the Canon in IQ,has lightning fast operational speed and RAW capture. It also feels slightly more "professional" and well made- though of course,you do lose a little at the zoom end compared to the Canon,though in the real world,I don't think it's a deal breaker…
i bought canon power shot 100 digital, wh. is better as taking sharp pictures compare to SX40
Ooowh, was waiting for the review of d sx40 by PB from a long time.. n now it's here, Bt not satisfied with the review..!! i thought it will be a good cam, bt didnt found out that good.
And why those 100% crop flower pics in noise level, my eyes can't differentiate it, want those books pic. that show's d real difference.
Any one heard any rumor abt sony's next bridge cam launch.. As canon has already patented for a 42x bridge cam.. so sony should make a leap from HX100 to something far batter..
1st place: Panasonic DMC-FZ150 (?.57)
2nd place: CANON Powershot SX40 HS (?.42)
3rd place: SONY DSC-HX100V (?.28)
Based on fully and professionally testing and comparison in all conditions and situations in 30 days in our hands.
1st place: Panasonic DMC-FZ150 (88.57/100)
2nd place: CANON Powershot SX40 HS (85.42/100)
3rd place: SONY DSC-HX100V (81.28/100)
Based on fully and professionally testing and comparison in all conditions and situations in 30 days in our hands.
(The site has little problem with percent sign!)
Sokhoomora- who's hands are "our hands"...?
I'd like to see the tests/comparisons.. :o)
I dont understand wy there are some miniature effect pictures here (top and button unsharp).I want see image quality that camera can do.
I see the image quality big enhance(hair, tree and grass look better), its lots sharper now as older Canon but sharpen artefact can see.To reduce that more, sharpen can reduce in maycolor settings.
SO i hope that soon a Sx220 follower come
I guess many people were waiting for a photographyblog review of this camera which makes it possible to compare it to the HX100V and the DMC-FZ150. I already read the one over at cameralabs and now this one and I guess I'll go for the DMC-FZ150 in that competition. It doesn't have as much focal length, but if I really needed that I'd attach a teleconverter, IQ isn't optimal in that range anyway. Overall the Panasonic seems to be the best package.
Can't understand why at least 5 of the sample pictures are in miniature mode. This is of course not the best way to judge quality.
I always highly appreciate Photographyblog's reviews but this one is really not done in an objective and professional manner.
Looking forward to any sample pictures and maybe a corrected review ?
hi Sokhoomora,
can you explain or show something that helps you to put FZ150 in the position above SX40 HS??in a great dilemma…
I wish that Mr. Mark Goldstein made that review, I like his work and also it is easy to compare IQ between the different cameras because he is always use the same scene like this below:
If the person who wrote this review did not know there is a 'hot shoe' has he really held the camera in his hands? What is this review really worth?
1. does any one know that how well is it's slow motion movies?
2. can i take bokeh photos with sx40?
To Mehran,
For movies, yes, you can shoot slow motion and my guess is that it is as good in detail as any photo. Please refer to your manual, page 111, for slow-mo.
For bokeh, set the dial to SCN, then look for a Portrait setting. You might also try "Macro" for bokeh. SCN is on page 61, Macro is on page 84. If you don't have a manual, got to Canon's website, type in SX40, then download the manual.
I just purchased this camera and in the manual it says you will hear 2 beeps after pushing the shutter half-way, I only hear one. Does anyone else have this issue? Also I am using the auto focus to begin with and can't say the pictures are the sharpest I've ever seen, and it seems the icon to attach a tripod comes on with almost every shot. Any helpful comments for these issues?
Tecirved mine for Xmas 2012 it amazes me each and everyday! I take wonderful pictures of my Grandchildren, turtles and life in general! Cant wait for Spring to capture the tractors in the fields:) thank you Cannon love it!!
Turning ON the Powered IS Function
Powered IS reduces subtle camera shake when shooting movies at max.telephoto. However, when shooting while walking, or during long panning shots, you should set Powered IS to [Off], as it may cause unexpected results in these situations.
Set IS to "Continious", that is automatically sets the optimal image stabilization for the scene
(Intelligent IS) (manuals p. 193).
BUT If camera shake is too strong, attach the camera to a tripod. You should also set the IS Mode to [Off] when the camera is attached to a tripod.
To Billy Gordan:
I used this camera in a wedding. the battary was finshed and I recharged it, What do you think? it must has more than one?
I've had this camera for about a month now, and it keeps impressing me at how much I can do with it, just got an adaptor and some 67mm filters, so now I can do almost every thing appart from making a cup of tea with it. Only two minor issues has anoyed me so far, the "View images" button is too easy to press accidentaly, and the "Video reccord" button is to hard to find when using the viewfinder, why can't you just use the shutter button in video mode? Every thing else is above my expectations, especially low light performance and macro where the object is actually touching the lense.
You can make it shoot in RAW, if you get the hack from the CHDK site, as well as a lot of other more or less usefull extra features, like longer exposure time etc. An other feature, not mentioned else where, is that the camera supports the ultra high speed SD cards @ 95MB/s.
The battery is also impressive, I've taken some 400 pictures and some videos, and there's still juice left, haven't used the flash much though.
Since a month I have this camera and unfortunately it gives a lot of vignetting.
Therefore I need to crop most of my photo's to remove the dark corners.
At the moment I am not using filters or a lenshood!
Does anyone have tips or a solution for this problem.
......and does anyone have the same?
Hi , I am looking to buy another camera and my interest so far is the Canon sx40. I saw this one priced at Amazon for $79.00. Is that exactly the same camera?? And is my camera choice the right one???? there are so many cameras of approximately similar features. I would like to hear comments about this. Up to now I have been using the easy-automatic.Panasonic lumix tz15 but my view-screen on that one has lost clarity. thanks for any comment. Anton
If you saw the price of $79.00 for the sx40, it is either a used one or, more likely, one that has sold at that price on these bidding war websites, like QuiBids. No, you can legitimately get it for around $350-$400 at places like Best Buy, WalMart (that's where I got mine and paid $379 for it), or Amazon.com. Hope this helps. And, yes, it is a TERRIFIC camera and you'll love the auto-focus, auto-zoom feature.
To Sam,
Best advice is to always have a backup battery. That was the first thing I did when I got my camera a few months ago. They're not that expensive and there will always be a circumstance to happen that you MUST be able to capture that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so don't miss it because you didn't have an extra battery!
Some of the sample photos taken with the SX40 that you've posted are very misleading. It's very apparent that in the 2nd and 3rd photos of the cathedral (1st row of samples), you had the camera's built-in MINIATURE effect activated. As stated on page 65 of the manual (U.S. version), this "blurs chosen portions in the top and bottom of an image to produce the effect of a miniature model." Why anyone would want to do that is not explained, however. In any case, such photos are hardly representative of what the SX40 can do. Perhaps next time you should RTFM.
I have let myself be seduced into buying this boring awful camera and I feel I have made a big mistake. The camera I have had for the last 12 months was the Fujifilm HS10 and I have to tell you ITS imaging and coloure rendition is lightyears ahead of the SX40. The only thing it has is a bigger lens and more automation. The Fuji HS10 produces wonderful detailed colored images whilst this Sx40 I have produces cludge. The worse thing it does is with macro (what a joke!) I have some fantastic macro images of insects and flowers with the Fuji - ALL the macro images taken with the SX40 are soft and out of focus and as for the HD video its a joke! Its ok WHEN its in focus which it isn't 30% of the time. I was robbed..PE
To PE,
I think what is going on here is that you simply have brand loyalty for your Fuji HS10. It has served you well, no doubt. But to blast this SX40 in the way you have is utter stupidity! I have actually owned 2 different Fuji's, the HS20 and the S200EXR, which is my favorite of the two. If you think your HS10 gets good color, you should trade it in for the S200. But getting back to the Canon SX40, I have experienced NONE of the issues you have mentioned, so all I can attribute it to is operator error. Sorry, dude!
Thanks for your comments, positive or negative.I see there are mixed feelings of this camera and I haven't made a choice yet. I prefer the Canon sx40 and now my 2 choices are the Canon or the Nikon P 500. I will let you know soon , but is after you buy something that you find out for yourself if it is up to your expectations.
have a nice day. Anton
I'm sure the P500 is a very good camera, but the SX40 has some crucial differences that might make a difference for you. The SX40 has a wider aperture than the P500 (f/2.7 vs. f/3.5), it has a longer battery life, the image stabilization is built into the lens on the SX40, you can buy an external flash for the SX40 but not the P500, you can install filters on the SX40 lens, the SX40 has a much faster shutter speed (1/3200 vs. 1/2000), and it also has a slightly better sensor rating which affects the image quality. The Nikon does have a better fully articulated screen but compared to these other features on the Canon, in my opinion, you get a better camera in the SX40.
Hi everyone, I have had this camera for one month.The problem i am facing is about battery backup.I can take only 120 images without using flash or viewing the images at LCD.Its very disgusting to always look for battery charge while taking images.One other thing is the charging time of the battery- it takes almost 3 hours to fully chargeup the battery.Can anyone please help me with this matter?
Ahsan. Sounds to me that there is a fault somewhere either with your camera or with the battery. I was out most yesterday clicking away, still got about 70% battery left. I always put mine on charge overnight - it switches itself off. So give it a good long charge maybe buy new battery. Gently clean the terminals on the battery. And charger. If not, then there could be problem with your camera. Let's hope not.PE
Hi Billy Jordan
Thanks very much for your comment. I really appreciate it.
have a great day.
regards Anton
Ahsan, to extend battery life, try switching off the GPS feature, and change the auto focus from constant to photo only. Also, get a couple of cheap replacement batteries—they're small and easy to carry.
I didnt know the sx40 has GPS…...
What I have done is install the CHDK which is a huge enhancement of the cameras normal functionality. For example use RAW files,keep shutter open fir up to 64 seconds! Detect movement trigger shutter - and a 101 other things- oveeride all settings. Easy to install on your sd card. Google 'cdhk wiki'
SX 40 HS with GPS function, not that I am aware of, has there been any upgrade already..?
There is no GPS function on the SX40….it's not in Canon's own description of the camera and it's also not found in the manual.
To extend your battery life, try using your viewfinder most of the time instead of the LCD articulating screen. If you're unsure of how to switch, read your manual (which can also be downloaded from Canon's website).
Opps! Sorry about that misleading comment. The SX40 does NOT have GPS. The advice was intended to be of general application to Canon cameras.
What is CHDK? Could that be the reason that Ahsans batterylife is shorter??
If you override the camera setting and replaced or add "101 other settings". that could influence the camera behaviour and shorten battery life???????
Well Anton, he would have to install CHDK first wouldn't he…... It runs from your sd card and gives the sx40 the kind of functionality it should have had in the first place including saving RAW (unprocessed images) and have your shutter open for up to 64 seconds. And a million other things. Just Google it. Mt battery lasts for ages unless you do a lot of hd video. Anyway, mines for sale on Amazon.co.UK so if you live in UK you can have it for £270 UK pounds. Pe
hello sir,
My sister is going to get a camera for me, i have 2 choices, Canon PowerShot SX40HS or Canon EOS 1100D, what should i do sir. I'm keen to photography, and I have a lot of interest in taking telephoto pics like that of birds, wildlife etc. Should I go for powershot or the DSLR. The only problem i have with the DSLR is that i won't be able to purchase those high zoom lens in near future.
Can the image quality of 1100d and sx40hs could be compared? which is better?
I would be glad to have your reply sir.
Thank You

Yes,problem with dslr is the expense of extra lens! So in your case the SX40 is a good buy as also is the Fujifilm HS10/20 And HS30,though they have slightly shorter lens only 24 to 720mm equivalent. The 24 to 840mm lens on sx40 is very powerful. PE
There is a large difference in price between the 2 Cannons and when traveling you have to take a bigger and heavier camera case with you all the time and the more compacter SX40 is easier to hang from your belt.
Thanks for the offer. I live in Australia and will be traveling in Europe this summer.
Are you selling your camera because you have found an even better or newer model? If I have a really good camera (and I hope the SX40 is) I try to keep it as long as it lasts.
have a nice wekend. Anton
I have today sold my SX40HS because I don't like it. Simple as that. I have gone back to my Fujifilm HS10 because,I'm my opinion it takes better pictures, which is all that matters to me! PE
I just purchased the Nikon p510. I have researched for a little over a month and was deciding between the p510 and the sx40. I am thinking about returning the p510 because I can not find many reviews on it. I am upgrading from a little point and shoot so I don't know much about cameras in general. I have a trip to Hawaii at the end of April and I would love to have a camera that takes great pictures but is VERY easy to use. Not sure if I should stick with what I bought or exchange it for the sx40. If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
Oh and I forgot to mention that I have held both cameras and the Nikon feels much more comfortable in my hand. I have very long fingers and it just didn't feel like there was enough room to grip the sx40. Not sure how much of a difference this makes and if it should even be a reason for buying one over the other…...
To Gina,
One reason you haven't found much discussion about the Nikon P510 is because it has been released only VERY recently and people are just now getting around to testing it and writing their reviews. However, there are sites like snapsort.com that offer comparisons of practically every camera you can think of. If you go to this site, you can look for the "comparison" link that will allow you to type in the names of the two cameras you want to compare; in fact, I encourage you to do this so you can see it with your own eyes. But, the bottom line is that SX40 has more practical features than the P510. For example, compared to the P510, the SX40 has a wider aperture, has a longer battery life, you can buy an external flash for more powerful and creative flash photography, it has faster continuous shooting, you can get closer for macro shots, it has a much faster shutter speed, and, as of right now, it costs less, so if you do return the P510, you'll have a few dollars extra. On the other hand, the P510 does have a much better articulating screen, a longer zoom, you can take 3-D photos as well as panoramic shots, and it has GPS. In my opinion though, the SX40 does have an edge in practicality but it all depends on what you want the camera to do for you.
Gina: I think its foolish to return a camera just because it doesn't have enough nice reviews - what matters is that is that it takes nice pictures - which I am sure the P510 does.
I just sold my SX40 because I didn't like its picture quality - but it subjective and its only my opinion. I'm sure that had I only had that particular camera I would have been happy enough with it.
A few months ago I saw a popular photographic magazine in a newsagents that had on the front cover ,and inside, the most amazing macro photo you will ever have seen - all taken by a very old 6mp Fuji camera - amazing pictures.
In the end its the images you take and not the camera that matters - provided it hasn't got some awful fault that requires its replacement.
I just felt that the images (AND Video) of my Fuji HS10 were superior luckily I was able to sell the SX40 for the same price I bought it for. To be honest, if I could have justified it I would have kept both cameras.PE
guys like this page and let's share our experiences with this camera..
Hi I have just bought this camera and I am going on an overseas trip in a couple of days.
The problem is that I will obviously be needing to empty the photos onto my laptop every once in a while, but I have an 11" Macbook air and it doesn't have a CD port so I can't install the software. I have a bigger laptop which I will use for now but I can't take that one overseas.
Is there anything I can do to install the software on my Mac? I tried looking on different websites for the software but I can't find anything.
Help will be greatly appreciate as this is urgent and I am flying out in a few days :/
Thank you, Sam
Hi Sam, can't you just take the SD out of the camera and put it in your computer to copy the pictures? In this case you don't need the software.
I don't understand why you need a cd port to transfer images - unless your intending to burn. Most modern laptops have an sd card slot. If not,it will have USB connection and you can buy cheap card reader and plug that in then you insert your camera memory card and it should automatically transfer your images to your lappy. This kind of thing is fundamental to this technology.
Another thought would be to simply buy another SD card for your trip, then worry about your copying issues later when you get back. You should always have an extra SD card as a backup anyway, so this is the time to get one.
I wouldn't rely on keeping all of your photos on an SD card—they're more prone to failure than hard drives, and if your camera is lost or stolen, you would be out of luck.
I'm not familiar with Macs or Macbooks, but assuming they work like Windows computers, you should be able to connect your camera to the Macbook using the white cable that came with the camera to the computer's USB port. The computer should then see the camera as another drive, and you can then copy photos from it to the computer using the computer's built-in software.
No when I connected the USB by itself, it my laptop did not recognise it and wouldn't show it. I had to actually install software for the laptop to recognise it.
And it doesn't have an SD card slot either.
But thanks for your responses guys, I solved the problem :) I went onto the Canon website and just downloaded the software from there.
I bought the camera about a month back…excellent performance in manual mode; indoor photos without flash - very sharp pictures - I used the vivid color option; in night shooting without flash, the result is excellent if ISO setting is done manually, in one of the auto ISO shots, surprisingly the camera took it at 6400 ISO, although the manual setting is restricted only to ISO 3200. I have a SLR (35 mm) and a digi compact. This my first bridge cam…I love this ones versatility.
Hi all
Today bought the Canon sx 40 and will start using the camera tomorrow. Thanks for all your advise.
I keep you posted how its going.
regards Anton
plz help me
i dont know which one is better or best
sx40hs…..sx30is and canon p.shot g12
in my opinion sx 40 should be better than sx 30, as it has a cmos sensor. to further compare…you could go to canon's site. They provide comparison of 3 cameras (based on your seletion) at a time.
The SX40 is definitely a better camera than the SX30. It's newer and has better technology, specifically the DIGIC 5 processor instead of the older DIGIC 4. It also has better video, 1080 rather than 720. And it's less expensive right now as Canon USA is offering a $50 discount—it's commonly available for $379 in the U.S.
The G12 is a very different camera, more compact, far less zoom (28 to 140 vs. 24 to 840 for the SX40), not as good of video (720 instead of 1080), and the older processor. It is a smaller than the SX30 or SX40.
I would choose the SX40 over the SX30 or the G12—it's a better camera for a wider variety of photos and videos.
You should also consider the G1X, although it costs almost twice as much as the SX40 and lacks the zoom range, but it does have superior image quality within it's range. That's not to say, however, that the image quality of the SX40 is poor—it's excellent.
I have this camera since one week now 26 April and i can say
it's the best bridge i have buy since height years.IT's my third bridge, 1-Panasonic, 1 Fuji and last this SX40
Excellent automatic white balance in any normal condition, less apparent noise in 1600 iso compare to my Canon 60D, excellent focusing system,never miss photo with the auto dial unless an impossible shoot done by the photograph.The JPG are great at 12 Mpx with this new sensor and digic 5 servo.Just one thing i missing from this body…it's a manual zoom for taking zoom in zoom out photo
( creativity ).
I have paid less than $350.00 for this caméra super zoom 35x an i consider it like a gift from Canon. Canon habitually don't give lower price like that for his stock. May be Panasonic,Fuji and Sony have push them to sell this fantastic camera at this bargain price. The quality of the lens for photos and videos are in the top best i have seen for this low price bridge camera.Don't hesitate you will be satisfy like me….Oups the NB10L battery is very powerful with this camera.
Does anyone know the zoom/megapixel/when will it be available of the future model of this camera?
1.Canon PowerShot SX30

please help
#85 & 86 Shantanu PURCHASE CANON SX40HS. I HAVE USED IT. IT IS A FANTASTIC CAMERA. SUGATO ROY / KOLKATA / INDIA/ +919051875688
has does this camera compare to the powershot S2IS Quaity wise?the cannon S2IS did great for about 8months to a year.then the screen went black.i got it back on but the pictuers are not good anymore.has long has the powershotsx40 been out and has anyone found any defects on it.I said i would never buy another cannon,can someone help me make up my mind?thanks mike
has this camera got any defects i need too know about?i have a cannon S2SI that the screen just went black in less than a year old.this camera seems to have good comments on it.i said i would never buy another cannon can someone help me make up my mind.
For now this camera is the best bridge on the market and i suppose that Canon have done a top quality camera..
20 years ago i have by a Canon video and after one and half year he was broken…Since that in the last four years i have buy about 7 Canon digital slr new and use and never something wrong happen.
You can by other kind but it will not the best of the best.
Is there really no raw format just jpg?
Mike—the SX40 has no "defects," in my opinion, but, like all cameras, it does have areas that could be improved: cannot save photos in RAW format (irrelevant for the average user, and can be changed with software); focuses slowly; not great in low light; relatively slow between shots. However, where it counts the most—image quality—the SX40 is an excellent camera. Check the posts on http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1010, especially the photos posted by SX40 users.
Between the Nikon (same zoom) and the sx40 which one would reccomend
I'd pick the Canon SX40 over the Nikon HX100V because the Canon is supposed to have the better lens—but that's based only on what I've read about the Nikon.
According to one review, "While the HX100V and the SX40 HS offer similar features and performance, the capability of Canon's lens far surpasses Sony's model. Better sharpness, less chromatic aberration, and low distortion are all characteristics of the SX40 HS."
You should also consider the Panasonic FZ150.
Bottom line: I think you would be happy with any of these cameras, so price may be the determining factor.
p.s.—I love my SX40!
Don't hesitate , take the better for now…In 6 months may be it will be an other mark. For now Canon SX40 is the top of top for lens quality and is imperceptible noise at 1600 iso.The price is ridiculous for this top quality bridge camera.Sensor and lens 35X is the best deal of the last and new year 2012.If you miss a photo with the automatic set-up you are very very unlucky.If you are creative artist photograph, manual control and semi-auto set-up will satisfy you.
I recently used my SX40HS at a music recital. The lighting was fair so I didn't use the flash. I actually took some with the flash just to see the difference, but most of my pictures I wasn't pleased with because they weren't as clear as I'd like. It's frustrating when this happens because I've seen this camera take some really awesome shots with no flash in low-lighting from quite a distance across a room but it seems better results are achieved if I zoom in on a person's face or a close-up shot. A group shot quite often isn't as good as I'd like. When I read reviews, I often notice many change up the settings such as the ISO, etc. I usually just leave my camera in Auto mode because I'm not that savvy with camera controls. Would I possibly get better results if I tried to change up the controls myself vs. the camera deciding in Auto? I think I need to take a camera course! Thanks, Kay
No camera works well in the dark, and the effective range of the built-in flash on any camera I've ever seen is a maximum of about 30 feet. Moreover, in a darken room the camera is going to switch to one of the highest ISO settings, resulting in grainy photos, and slow shutter speeds, which may cause blurring even with image stabilization. Lastly, it's extremely difficult for a camera to focus precisely when the light is inadequate. In short, you expect too much from the camera, and, yes, it probably would be helpful for you to take a photography course to learn the basics and the limitations of your equipment. In the meantime, RTFM.
I would read the manual but my CD player is out right now. That's one thing that would be nice to have is a booklet, which didn't come with the camera.
There was actually decent lighting where I was. I have taken photos in less lighting than the one I referred to and farther across the room and gotten much better shots. Perhaps at that time the lighting was shining down in just the right way, but I always say photography is not a perfect science. I also think that manuals don't always give you the answer you're looking for either. K

Va. secession soundly defeated at 1861 convention in Richmond
March 19, 2013
Editor's Note: "Countdown to Statehood" is a weekly series highlighting the historical events that eventually led to West Virginia becoming a state on June 20, 1863....
Yup...cost of living. We can sell our homes in Northern VA and build much bigger homes here. I know what you're implying. Nope. Not the case. In fact, I have multiple friends from Northern VA who have moved or are moving out here. Get this - one of them isn't white...but don't worry, his wife is. :)
Stew on that for a bit. It's happening...and there is nothing you can do about it. Now go cry and jerk it to George Pickett.

See A State of Convenience, The Creation of West Virginia, Opinion of Abraham Lincoln on the Admission of West Virginia at wvculture(dot)org/history/statehood/lincolnopinion(dot)html in which a condition of acceptance would have to include in the state constitution the removal of slavery would have to be addressed. So the real issue for WV was states rights and representation which they weren't getting out of Richmond. Today (2011) several counties in the Eastern Panhandle want to return to Virginia because they aren't being represented by Charleston.

Good series and I am glad The Journal is trying to educate the public as we approach the Sesquicentennial anniversary of the (illegal to some) founding the the state of West Virginia. I have seen the original documents to seperate north-western Virginia from eastern Virginia at the National Archive (NARA). It looks like it is written on a long yellow legal pad with a dozen to a dozen and half signatures. President Lincoln was smart enough to allow a new Union (slaveholder) state to be created under authority of the Reorganized (Union) government of Virginia. Virginia would take West Virginia to the Supreme Court over getting Berkeley and Jefferson counties back. Virginia lost that case but won the second case over debts owed by W Va. (~$12.4M or $285M adjusted for inflation).

Agreed, to the extent that slavery was not the only issue. It is virtually universally agreed amongst historians that slavery was, however, the single issue that could no longer be resolved through debate or compromise, as the previous compromises and bloodshed in the various border states proved.

Unfortunately revisionist history has dumbed down the secession and the civil war that followed into the single issue of slavery and that everyone in the union were hero's and the southererns were all evil slave owners, which couldn't be further from the truth. While slavery indeed did play a role in the debate over secession it certainly wasn't the only or even the most important issue debated.
How many of you even know that Lincoln want to deport the freed slaves to other countries and that the emancipation proclamation only freed the slaves in the "rebel states". There is so much that isn't taught about the civil war and then it takes years for open minded people to learn the truth of this time period, it's no wonder it's such a decisive issue, because our revisionist history makes this such a black and white issue (no pun intended) which it isn't.

Major, you know that Southern Honor is a concept fraught with deep contradictions and cloaked in hypocrisy. Stop glorifying what was a life supported by one of the darkest chapters of our country's past.
And I attended Washington & Lee. Yes, named after those two Virginians located in a town where the graves of Jackson, Lee, several Virginia governors, and ever Traveler are all buried. But, peaceful and democratic you call the people of the South? That culture was far more primitive than the manner it's portrayed in the Mort Kunstler paintings hanging in your living room. Souther Honor was a convenience produced by an evil institution of slavery.

The Grammy-winning, multiplatinum trio joins the Beatles as the only other act immortalized in "Rock Band"; the video game is being released next Tuesday.

Wearing the right gear while playing paintball is essential, simply because it acts as a protective layer and is just part of being a true paintball player. And to add to that, paint is pretty harsh on clothing so you want to make sure you are wearing either really old clothes or clothing designed for paintball specifically.
Some Clothing Recommendations
You will want to dress in layers. By dressing in layers, you are reducing the impact that the paint shot at you has on your body. So the layers act as a protective barrier for you. Also, if it is extremely hot out, you obviously don't want to pile on the heavy clothing, so what do you do then? Just be smart and wear clothing that is both protective and can withstand paintballs being shot at it.
Some recommendations:
- A Pair of Jeans or Paintball Pants – Wearing a good solid pair of pants is critical for protecting your legs and backside. Durability, something with pockets and the ability to include some knee pads are some good key points to keep in mind. Take for example the Dye Precision Tactical Pant 2.0. These paintball pants were strategically made with you paintballers in mind. They feature 45 degree pockets for easy access, stretch so you can wear knee pads. Another great feature is that they are bombproof! The material and stitching was strategically made so you can slide, dive and roll with confidence. Check out some other really great paintball pants at Hustle Paintball by following this link here.
- A T-Shirt or Two – Like we said above, you really want to focus on layering to help protect your body from paintball impact. So layering with some t-shirts, either short or long sleeve is the way to go. We have a huge selection of paintball brand t-shirts that you can check out. The brands we have include HK Army, Propper, Hustle Paintball, TechT Paintball, Tippmann, Valken and Violent Series. Check them out!
- Heavier Items Depending On The Weather – If it is cold out, you are definitely going to want something heavier on like a hoodie or paintball jacket. These are great to keep in your body heat and also add some extra padding, giving you even more protection. We have a few really awesome hoodies on our website, and a pretty wide selection when it comes to the paintball jackets. One of our best jackets/parkas that we have in stock includes the PROPPER Foul Weather Gore-tex Parka II, it comes in all sizes ranging from a 2X Extra Long all the way down to an extra small. The features that are packed into this one parka are amazing! It is made of 100% nylon, is waterproof, windproof and totally breathable fabric. And not to mention, it is contamination-resistant! How cool is that?! What we love the most about this parka is that it is made in the USA and will never shrink or fade. You just can't beat it!
- Additional Protective Gear – This includes gloves, knee pads, elbow pads and even protective head gear. The more padding you have on, the less the risk of having a huge bruise or welt from getting shot at.
- Shoes – You are obviously going to need a really good pair of paintball shoes to run in, with some good treading. The Exalt TRX cleat is a great option because it beats out any other cleats used in any other sport! They improve your game, offer you high-performance and are very lightweight. Use them during woodsball, scenario, recreational, tournament and even big games! These cleats feature 7 Spike locations in the forefoot of the out sole; 3 Spike locations at the heel of the out sole; and flexible out sole design, which allows for better traction especially when you are crawling on the ground.
So, there you have it – the paintball clothing you will need to play and be comfortable out on the field. Do you have any special clothing or items that you wear while playing? If so, leave us a comment describing what you wear during tournaments, out playing woodsball or at big games.

WAILUKU - A woman said she at first lied about knowing who tied her up, strangled her and repeatedly sexually assaulted her in a Haiku pasture last month because she feared her attacker and also was afraid of getting into trouble for using drugs.
But a few days later, after detoxifying from oxycodone, the 20-year-old Kula woman said she told a police detective the truth. Testifying Wednesday afternoon at a preliminary hearing in Wailuku District Court, she identified Philip Robbennolt-O'Connell, 48, as her assailant.
Deputy Prosecutor Kristin Coccaro asked the woman why she had lied to police officers the night of June 15, when she drove from the Haiku pasture to the Hana Highway intersection with Haleakala Highway at about 10:30 p.m. to report being raped.
Article Photos
Philip Robbennolt-O'Connell appears in court Wednesday afternoon with Deputy Public Defender Wendy Hudson. He is charged with sexually assaulting a woman in a Haiku pasture last month. A judge determined that there was probable cause to support the nine charges against the defendant.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
"Because I was afraid he would kill me if I told anything and I was afraid about the drug use," she said.
Deputy Public Defender Wendy Hudson questioned the woman's account of being strangled, beaten, undressed and sexually assaulted, with some acts occurring simultaneously.
"It doesn't seem like it's possible," Hudson said.
But Judge Richard Priest, making a finding of "great credibility" and "substantial credibility" in the woman's testimony, ruled there was probable cause to support nine charges against Robbennolt-O'Connell.
He is charged with three counts of first-degree sexual assault, kidnapping, first-degree terroristic threatening, two counts of first-degree attempted assault, third-degree assault and interfering with reporting of an emergency.
Robbennolt-O'Connell is being held at the Maui Community Correctional Center in lieu of $647,000 bail.
The woman said she became addicted to oxycodone after being prescribed the narcotic painkiller for one year following a back injury while she lived in Washington state. She said she was introduced to smoking the drug after moving back to Maui.
She said she had been clean until again starting to use the drug about three months ago.
The woman said she had met Robbennolt-O'Connell once before, about a month before the attack, when she bought two oxycodone pills from him at the Haiku Cannery, and they had exchanged phone calls and text messages.
On June 15, she said she had smoked oxycodone in the morning and didn't have any more pills when he called her at 8 a.m., asking for a ride so he could get some pills. Because she was at work, she said she couldn't give him a ride. But they ended up speaking on the phone that night and she said she agreed to pick him up at the Paia Shell gas station.
Robbennolt-O'Connell showed up at the station at about 8:10 p.m., the woman said, and she drove him to the Wendy's parking lot at the Maui Mall, where he got out of her truck and got pills from two men she didn't know.
He gave her two pills and said he would drive. She said she thought they were going to drop him off as he drove up Haleakala Highway, through Haliimaile and into Haiku near Pauwela Cannery. But when she asked where he was going, "he said, 'I know a good spot where you can smoke a pill' and I said OK," she said.
Robbennolt-O'Connell ended up driving two minutes down a dark dirt road off Hana Highway with no houses in sight, she said.
She said he turned off the ignition, keeping on a vehicle light and turning up the music to "full blast."
Then, she said Robbennolt-O'Connell "hopped up almost on top of me and hit me in the face with his left hand in the right side of my face."
"It was instantaneous," she said. "It happened right as we parked. I was holding my phone in my right hand. I was up against the passenger side window. I was trying to open the door and get on the phone."
She said the door was locked and Robbennolt-O'Connell tried to take the phone away from her. When she said she would call 911, "he laughed," the woman said. "He said, 'No, you're going to f---ing get raped tonight.' ''
Robbennolt-O'Connell was inches away from her face, she said, when he took the phone and put his hands around her neck. She said she couldn't breathe as he shook her head and hit it against the window.
Then he began pulling off her pants, she said.
"I break his glasses. I'm fighting back," she said. "Once I did that, I felt his aggression get 10 times worse.
"I feel like I'm going to die. I'm really scared and I know I can't get out of the situation."
She said Robbennolt-O'Connell flipped her onto the center console between the two bucket seats, pushing her head toward the floor. He put her hands behind her and tied them with what felt like a shoelace, she said.
At that point, she said the music wasn't on and her pants were off.
She said Robbennolt-O'Connell began sexually assaulting her, also using an object that felt like wood. She heard rustling before he put a dark-colored plastic bag over her head and hit her hard on the back of her skull, she said.
Robbennolt-O'Connell held the bag, which she could see through, over her head while again strangling her so she couldn't breathe, she said. "He'd let go, then tighten it again."
Seeing that the back window of the truck was open, she tried to escape.
"That made him angry, so he put a knife against my neck," she said.
She felt the knife moving on both sides of her throat. "He said, 'Pray,' '' she said.
She said Robbennolt-O'Connell was screaming as he said, "Are you f---ing praying?"
"He says, 'Do you like it? Do you f---ing like it?' '' the woman said.
Then he stopped, she said.
"It was like a light switch just snapped off, and he stopped everything."
Robbennolt-O'Connell got out of the truck, putting her clothes in his backpack and taking his black 5-inch knife before walking away, she said.
The woman said she was crying and "curled up into a ball" in the passenger seat before finding her keys on the driver's floorboard and driving away "as fast as I could."
She stopped to find her phone behind the passenger's seat, reaching her sister, then her older brother by phone. "I was hyperventilating," she said. "All I could get out was I was raped."
Her brother's girlfriend called police, who met the woman at the intersection near Kahului Airport.
She said her brother didn't believe her initial story about being raped by an unknown male who punched her in the face, opened her vehicle door and got in, using a hatchet to knock her unconscious while she was in the Wendy's parking lot. She decided to tell the truth, she said, and was again interviewed by police Detective Richard Rodriguez on June 19 when she was sober.
"The reason I said unknown male, I was afraid, I was scared for my life," she said. "The guy told me to pray and scared me completely. I thought I was going to die."
She only knew Robbennolt-O'Connell as Phil but said she picked him out of a photo lineup.
During cross-examination, Hudson repeatedly asked the woman whether portions of her initial statement to police were lies.
"Yes, it was a lie and I'm sorry I lied, but I was afraid for my life - like I am now," she replied.
Robbennolt-O'Connell - who is also known as "Crazy Phil," according to the criminal complaint - is scheduled to be arraigned July 11 in 2nd Circuit Court.
He was ordered to stay away from the victim, her residence and workplace.

Stacey Hostetler is this year's guest speaker at the Heartbeat Community Services Inc. Banquet.
Heartbeat is located in Millerstown and offers abortion alternatives and other ways of helping women who are expecting.
Hostetler is a second grade teacher at West Snyder Elementary School and a graduate of Penn State and Wilkes Universities. She is married with two children, Weston, 5, and Cooper, 2.
It was during her pregnancy with Cooper that options were presented to her.
During a routine measurement check at 13 weeks gestation, her doctor discovered a sac of fluid attached to the baby from his head to his spine. Her doctor told her it was likely she would miscarry. In order to prevent miscarriage, she could opt to abort the baby.
The doctor also told her an abortion was the best option because if she did not miscarry the baby, the child could be born and die later. It was also possible the baby would survive and would be a child of "great needs," she was told. Abortion was the logical answer, her doctor said.
Hostetler and her husband, Gerald, repeatedly told the doctor this was not an option for their family.
The Hostetlers spent a significant amount of time in prayer and sought God as they continued through the pregnancy, awaiting the unknown.
One test revealed the child would be positive for Down's Syndrome and another suggested heart problems. After an amniocentesis, those predictions were proven false. The sac of fluid on the baby's spine disappeared.
But the journey was not over.
Their unborn son was later diagnosed with TARS, Thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome. This meant he was missing the radius bone or lower bone that connects the elbow to the hand in both arms. This is also a blood disorder that requires periodic blood transfusions for the youngster to this day.
The baby, who was named Cooper, also was diagnosed with arthogryposis, a joint and muscle condition.
He was born with these disorders, but otherwise healthy, on Jan. 27, 2011.
"He is cognitively fine," Hostetler said.
She describes her active 2-year-old son as "very compassionate, outgoing, shows perseverance and is very motivated and happy."
More details will be shared at the banquet, Hostetler said. She will also talk about how this experience has influenced her personal faith and why teens should consider their actions regarding premarital sex.
"This can happen to anyone," she said of the pregnancy and difficulties her family has faced.

5 Favors People Love to Offer (That No One Wants) Part 2
Last week, I realized a lifelong dream of speaking on behalf of terrible people everywhere. It was quite moving. If you recall, I wrote a column that took people to task for offering crappy favors no one wants. (It was also about Romans, but that part's difficult to explain). In any event, the kids seemed to enjoy it.
Only relevant to prior article
Some people, however, shook their heads and looked down on me and the other misanthropes, pitying our sad, hate-filled lives. These people seem to think the purpose of online writing is to convince the world just how earnest, forthright and balanced you are. Maybe they're right. But they're also really boring.
So with a clear conscience and a deadline, I decided to muster everything that is wrong with me to generate five more acts of human kindness that kinda suck. But dear good people of the world, please understand: it's not that we hate you for offering these things, we just wish you wouldn't. Also, yeah, we kind of hate you.
#5. Offering Health Remedies For Common Maladies
It's typically a lovely gesture to tend to the sick. After all, they're sick. They need help. And I get it. I'm sick all the time because I live in the same house with three Petri dishes of contagion that I like to call my children. Buckets of floating cold viruses and stomach bugs that somehow wear pants and take a school bus.
Me checking in on the kids before bed.
So yeah, heal the sick. Volunteer at a hospital. Tend to lepers and whatnot. It's God's work and you won't get any complaint from me.
But no likes it when you offer your lame-ass home remedies or ancient, magical cures for our common colds and tummy aches. "Got the sniffles," you say, seeing us trying to stop the river of mucus flowing from our nostrils armed only with a post-it note. And we just nod because if we open our mouth we might say something like,"no, jackass, this is actually my friend's snot. He asked me to watch it for him while he's out of town."
But hey, you're just being friendly and inquisitive. It's what comes next that really sucks: "Know what you should do?" you ask.
"Hold you down and blow our nose in your shirt?" we think, but that's not it all. You're about to school us:
Eat an onion, take some vitamin C, take some zinc, don't take zinc, try some Echinacea, dance with a grizzly, try the netty pot, starve a fever, feed a cold, have a light lunch with a staph infection. . .
Given all these remedies that totally work, its amazing that anyone gets sick ever or that there's a pharmaceutical industry. And if this person is from another country? Holy hell, there's no end to it. It's as if no one in Ecuador or Guyana or Norway ever gets sick. "Put away that Sudafed! In my country, all colds are cured by sleeping with a porcupine under a waning gibbous moon!"
We don't care. Your ideas are stupid. Leave us to our medications and mucus. And you can go back to eating the shark fin sandwich that's treating your psoriasis.
Apply twice daily while crying.
#4. Helping You Clean
It's typically a lovely gesture to help someone straighten up. Maybe they hosted a totally awesome house party and you're that great friend who throws out garbage or mops the floor so that mom and dad (who on vacation in some 80s movie) don't find out about all the wild hijinks that occurred while they were gone. Or maybe your buddy is walking around with a bit of mashed potato above his left eyebrow and you surreptitiously catch it with a napkin before he hits on the girl of his dreams. (Apparently, you're all at some night club that serves mashed potatoes in this hypothetical). Those are selfless wonderful acts. You are a lovely person.
This is what all the kids are doing these days right?
But no one likes it when you just bob on over and start cleaning something we never said was dirty. If you're in our office or cubicle or whatever and we're talking about the big report that's due Friday, don't start straightening the piles of crap on our desk. You're not helping. You're not being polite. Each right angle of paper-based perfection creates an unspoken indictment of the shithole we were apparently OK living in. Your silent dusting makes clear how completely offensive we are to you.
Same thing with our homes. If you go over to Ian Fortey's house, don't take it upon yourself to stack perfect little piles of the Plumpers magazines he's got laying about. Maybe he likes his morbidly obese stroking materials arranged in a certain way. Lastly, don't be picking shit off our shirt as if a stray fuzzball is some contagion waiting to lay eggs in us. We're fine. No one asked you. Go back to your immaculate dust-free home of right angles and quiet desperation.
Don't pretend you read it for the articles, Ian. We've read your column. You're obviously illiterate.
#3. Sharing Your Crappy Memory Devices
It's typically a lovely gesture to share your wisdom. To reach out to those struggling intellectually and offer a studying aid. A trick. A way to make the facts go down just a little bit easier. I remember my older brother taught me a way to remember North, South, East, West on a map: Never Eat Sloppy Watermelon. Told me once and I never forgot. Or that one for the notes on a musical staph: Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. (Favor if you're a Brit and/or an insufferable fancypants).
"I prefer 'favor.' Yes, I'm British. What? I am. Dude, you're so racist."
But no one likes it when you share your devices that suck. Is that subjective? Of course, it is. This is completely a matter of opinion and can only be written down as fact if you own a keyboard and have access to the Internet. Oh, shit. Look at that! I qualify. Moving on. Wanna know a shitty memory device? That one about how many days are in each month. How do I know? Because I've heard that device a million times and I still have no idea how many days are in each month. June has 30 because I just know June has 30. March has 31 because I was born in March so I know that. February has 28 because that's the weird one that has 28 (except on leap year). That's all I know. And don't start singing "30 days hath September ...." or whatever it is. Is it September? I'm not sure. If that's right then I know four months, but it's a crappy device and doesn't work for me and I don't need to hear you sing it. Wanna know another shitty memory device? Well, I can't tell you. Because I don't remember. Proof positive that it sucks.
Shut up

The Green Lantern
For some reason The Green Lantern was panned by most critics and many comic book fans. For my part I don't understand why. I've long awaited a movie version of The Green Lantern and this film fit the bill as far as I was concerned. This was The Green Lantern I grew up with and with a touch of camp added. Yes, I know I'm old. I watched the Adam West Batman when it first aired. Growing up The Green Lantern was one of my favorite super heroes. I liked him better than Superman or Batman. I mean he had a power ring that turned whatever he thought of into reality, albeit a green reality. How cool was that? So why did this film not work for so many people? I think it's because most people thought it would be different. Maybe it seemed lame to some to build a giant Hot Wheels track to save a falling car. Yes it was hokey but, that's exactly the type of thing Green Lantern did in the comics. I remember one comic where he produced the cartoon stereotype of a one-ton weight to fall on an opponent complete with the words "One Ton" on the side. I didn't really expect the movie to be different. It wasn't and I was glad of it.
The Green Lantern features Ryan Reynolds as cocky test pilot Hal Jordan who is given "the ring of power" by the former Green Lantern for this part of the galaxy just before he passes on. Finding out that he has just been drafted into a galaxy wide police corps he is a little overwhelmed and lacks a desire to really become involved in their fight. When the battle comes to earth and corps leaders decide that loosing earth to save the galaxy might be the best strategy, Hal comes around because now it's really personal. It's fun, good for a few laughs. It's not Citizen Kane, or even Iron Man, but I thought it was well put together and entertaining.

Mexican Kitchen
- Description
- The French-born artist Jean Charlot spent his early career during the 1920s in Mexico City. His 1948 lithograph depicts a scene from the domestic life of a Mexican indigenous woman, a favorite theme of the artist. Household work—without the aid of most, if any, electrical appliances—was a full-time job for many working-class and poor Mexican women, north and south of the border, well into the 20th century. Food preparation was especially labor-intensive. Corn had to be processed, wood gathered, and water fetched, in the midst of child rearing and other household duties. This was the daily fare of most women, who rarely worked outside the home after marriage. Mexican American women who found work in cities like El Paso in the early 20th century were either single or widowed. Many worked as domestic servants, others in industrial laundries or textile mills. Like today, some women turned to their kitchens to earn a living, making meager profits selling prepared food on the street to Mexican American workers and Mexican migrants.

"Hurry up and finish taking a shit, we're already late! Pinch the loaf if you must!"
"Thanks for suggesting that I pinch a loaf; it worked. Now I have to spend 5 minutes wiping, then we can leave."

Showers and May flowers aren't the only side effects of April's arrival. Next month also marks the beginning of most industries' second quarter, which means many retailers will offer sales to spring them into the next earnings period.
Here's what to look for as you bargain hunt this month.
For whatever reason, many businesses will offer freebies during tax season, especially in mid-April, according to dealnews.com.
For example, Dunkin' Donuts locations in Charleston will bid farewell to March on Monday with free 16-ounce cups of iced coffee all day. You might need the caffeine if you're up all night brainstorming clever April Fool's pranks.
Spring fashion
Since most spring collections launch in February, you'll start seeing promotional markdowns (30 percent off or less) in April. Cardigans, lightweight scarves and ballet flats seem to be the type of mid-season styles that retailers mark down as soon as the warmer weather sets in.
Kids apparel
At the beginning of the month, you'll likely see promotional deals on children's dressy attire in time for Easter. Belk, for example, has already marked down its dress wear for children by up to 40 percent. Once Easter has passed, that's an even better time to snatch deals on items such as white shoes and sundresses.
Eco goods
Earth Day is April 8, so many companies will take that as an opportunity to strut their eco-friendly efforts. It can be gimmicky, but sometimes it means promotions on products with organic or all-natural labels.
May is a big month for weddings and graduations. So as students venture into the real world and couples settle into married life, family and friends often make the point to give housewarming gifts, such as cookware and small appliances. That's why April is chock-full of good deals on these types of items.

A 20-year-old Sloan man has been charged with unlawfully tattooing at least four area teenagers, and Erie County sheriff's investigators suspect that more children may have been victimized.
Jacob T. Gammack was charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child and six counts of tattooing a child under the age of 18.
Gammack apparently was living in the Town of Hamburg at the time of the alleged unlawful tattooing.
The mother of three of the victims filed a complaint with the sheriff's office in September, alleging that the tattoos were imprinted on her daughters – ages 14, 15, and 16 – without her knowledge or consent.
Deputy Gary Mosier of the North Collins substation investigated the incident and also found another alleged victim, age 15.
Deputies said Gammack may have been recruiting underage tattoo customers on Facebook and at the Erie County Fair.
Anyone with information may contact the Sheriff's Office at 858-2903.
