Isn't it amazing how fast a perfectly benign thread can get wildly off topic? You're right Annie, my head's spinning too. (but that could just be all the booze!)
This thread hasn't gone off topic. The man is considering uprooting and relocating so all of these issues are very important to he and his family.
There may be more state-to-state consistency in the USA than country-to-country consistency in Europe, but there are still major differences. It's not as homogenous as it might look to an outsider.

Oh Dear
If i had any idea it would turn into this then i would never have posted!
I only asked for some suggestions of lovely places!
I do not remember saying "could you give me some suggestion of great places to live and at the same time rip someone elses town or city to shreds please"
I am very sure that there are just as many amazing places and people in the South as there are in the North!
This is infantile.
Eclipse Trumpets
I dont think this needs to end up in the cage!
It was very interesting when people were telling about all of the wonderful places, please can we simply continue as was?
As a person who has only been to the US once it is fantastic to hear about many different areas of that huge country you all have there.

One suggestion to your move.
Check the ambiental regulations.
I know that in some states or cities you can't deal with metal or hazardous
material. I was informed that some good repair mans can not plate in their facilities due to ambiental restrictions.
Go to a place where many pros can go easily. Nothing like the imitation
to promote products. The inferior trumpeters (like me) imitate the big guys.
Oh, I forgot to mention weather - as I know that was something you were thinking about. It rains when there are clouds in the sky. Some days are beautiful though! It is pretty dependent on the season here in Southern Maryland as to when we get rain and such, it can get rainy in the spring, but it's nothing like the UK. When my Mom visited several years back when I was little, she was grateful to come home to a place with more variable weather. We get a little bit of everything here.
If you don't want a rainy place, whatever you do, don't move to Western Maryland, specifically Frostburg, MD! I go to college there, and it's horribly windy and rainy at least half of the week!
Any places on the east coast that you were wondering were like? I've been as north as New Hampshire and as south as Florida. Unfortunately, I haven't gone much in the directions of East or West.
*I may not be great yet, but I'm working hard on it and one day I'm gonna be there.*
You may also want to consider the Portland area. Sure it does rain there, but think about it. If someone wanted to go try some elite trumpets they could go to Portland and try Eclipse, Monette, and Marcinkiewicz. That would be awesome.
Who knows maybe you could even pull Wynton away from Monette!! ;)

Though I never intentionally eat gluten, I take them when eating out as insurance against probable cross-contamination. I mostly eat out at places I know it won't happen, but that's not always possible.
I don't personally have an acute immediate response (mine is a more subtle immune system attack against my thyroid that isn't felt right away) but when I read reviews of the enzymes before buying, people who do have more overt symptoms (Celiac and other autoimmune diseases) were giving good feedback. Check them out at www.iherb.com
PS- the situations you describe aren't "unavoidable"- no one is forcing you to drink beer You could always bring your own gluten-free (Green's is actually really good!)

Jets Defensive Players Will Appeal Fines Against Titans
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets defensive players Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples said they both plan to appeal NFL fines for hits on Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker, who was sent to a local hospital with a hip injury after the play.
Despite the injury, Locker said he didn't think either hit was malicious, but the league fined Wilkerson $15,785 for an initial hit citing roughing the passer, and Coples was fined $7,875 for an inappropriate hit.
"One thing about it, it's up for debate, so I'm going to appeal it," Coples said. "There was no flag. There was nothing said coming out of the game that it was an intentional hit. At the end of the day, it was something I was surprised about."

Driving around southern New Jersey, northern Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania, you can occasionally glimpse the characteristic distorted hourglass shape of a nuclear cooling tower to the side of the road.
Regardless of how you feel about our use of nuclear power, you have to be impressed with the grand technology involved. Fuel rods, atomic fission, computer-controlled moderators, cooling towers, hundreds of megawatts of power. Surely only human beings are capable of assembling such a technological marvel!
It's possible, however, that natural nuclear reactors were operating two billion years ago, long before human beings walked the Earth.
Scientists have located 16 or more places in Equatorial Africa that appear to be fossil fission reactors.
To understand how this can be possible, we must think about what's necessary to have a self-sustaining nuclear reaction.
First, you need fuel. Uranium is the most likely candidate; pockets of uranium ore occur in many places on the Earth. This element has been a part of the Earth since its formation more than four billion years ago.
There are two main types, or isotopes, of uranium. One isotope is easier to split apart (fission) than the other. U235 (so-called because it has a total of 235 neutrons plus protons in its nucleus) undergoes fission much more readily than its heavier cousin, U238.
Unfortunately for power plant planners, there is a lot more U238 around than U235. Less than one per cent of today's uranium ore is made up of the good stuff. Generally you need U235 to make up at least three-percent of your fuel supply to keep a reaction running. Today we must do substantial work to raise the concentration of U235 to a useful level in our nuclear fuel.
Things were different in the past. Because U235 is much more radioactive than U238, more of it has disappeared (actually been converted into different elements) since the Earth's formation, so there was more of it around in past ages. Around two billion years ago, the lighter isotope did make up around three-percent of the total. If we could somehow gather uranium ore into concentrated packets, we'd have our "fuel rods."
It's a nice coincidence that a process had come into existence that could do that gathering. Green plants were starting to release oxygen into the atmosphere about 3.5 billion years ago. As a result, water became acidic, giving it the power to dissolve trace amounts of minerals from crustal rocks, then deposit them in relatively concentrated chunks in river beds and deltas.
In Oklo, Gabon, in Africa, seams of rock a few inches thick and rich in uranium oxide were created in several locations. This satisfied the fuel requirement.
But one other important item was needed. When a uranium atom fissions, or splits apart, it releases one or more neutrons (and a big dollop of energy.) These subatomic particles can then be captured by neighboring uranium atoms, which makes them unstable and likely in turn to split in two, releasing more energy and more neutrons. The result is a "chain reaction" that provides the power output of the reactor.
It doesn't always happen, however. The neutron from the first split must encounter the new atom gently, at moderate speeds, or it won't be captured at all. Unfortunately, when the neutron is ejected from the first atom, it can be traveling at one-sixth the speed of light! We need a moderator, something to drastically slow down those fast neutrons.
Some modern reactors use graphite rods as moderators. But simple water works well, too, and is used in a majority of today's reactors. It also worked nicely in the Oklo reactors.
At some point, water covered the seams of uranium oxide exposed by natural geological processes. The slow neutrons could now be captured by U235 atoms, and a nuclear chain reaction could take place.
Of course, it wasn't as efficient as our power plants. For one thing, the reaction raised the temperature of the ore enough to boil away the water, which stopped the reaction altogether. Some scientists have suggested a reactor might work for half an hour before losing its water moderator, then shut down for a few hours until things had cooled off so the water could return. You might think of this as a nuclear geyser, though the water probably didn't shoot up into the air as it does in geothermal geysers.
How powerful were these reactors? One of the larger ones might have produced 100 kilowatts, enough to power a few typical homes if it could be harnessed. Of course, you'd only have power for half an hour out of every three hours, so you'd have to plan your usage well!
These natural nuclear power plants may have worked for 100,000 years. They aren't possible now. The level of natural U235 remaining in uranium ore today is no longer high enough to support a self-sustaining reaction. But long ago, we might have been able to find some nuclear hot spots to warm our cold toes, if we had been around at the time.
Astronomical events. The Rowan University Department of Physics and Astronomy will hold a public observatory open house on Wed., Sept. 22, to celebrate the autumnal equinox, the Harvest Moon, the closest approach of Jupiter in many years, and the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus (whew!) The observatory and observing deck will be open by 8 p.m. Brief live presentations in the planetarium will be offered by yours truly at 7:30 and 9 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
The Edelman Planetarium will open its doors to the public on Saturday, Sept. 25. We'll be bringing back a popular star show, "The Rowan Universe," at 7 p.m. each Saturday night. If you are looking more for entertainment than education, we will offer a new laser show, "Laser Michael Jackson" at 8:15 on the same nights. More information is available the planetarium website, www.rowan.edu/planetarium/.
Keith Johnson is the director of the Edelman Planetarium at Rowan University, and wishes he had a copy of Tom Swift in the Caves of Nuclear Fire, the first popular mention of natural nuclear reactors. He'd be glad to hear of an available free copy — e-mail him regarding this or anything astronomical at email@example.com.

Racing's Allisons heading to Lake Erie Speedway
NASCAR legend Donnie Allison and Justin Allison, Donnie's grandson who earned his first ARCA Racing Series win at Pocono Raceway this past weekend, will sign autographs Saturday night's at Lake Erie Speedway.
They are part of a family synonymous with NASCAR that includes Bobby Allison (1983 Cup champion and three-time Daytona 500 winner) and the late Davey Allison (1992 Daytona 500 winner and 1987 rookie of the year). Donnie Allison (1967 Cup rookie of the year) joins Bobby and Davey in the International Motor Sports Hall of Fame.
Donnie Allison will be the first NASCAR driver past or present to appear at LES since the Busch brothers, Kyle and Kurt, in July 2011.
The free autograph session will be held in the Greenfield Township asphalt track's main concourse at a time to be determined.
Tickets for the event, which also features the New York Pennsylvania Midget Association, can be purchased by contacting the track's box office at (814) 725-3303 or (866) LES-RACE. They cost $13 for adults, $8 for children ages 6-12, and free for children 5 and younger.
General admission tickets from the rained-out July 19 event will be honored.

Alabama native and Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to introduce Apple's fifth-generation iPhone at an Oct. 4 event, according to John PaczKowski of All Things D.
Citing sources close to situation, Paczkowski reported that Apple's annual iPhone introduction is scheduled to be held in less than 2 weeks and that "Cook is certain to preside over the iPhone 5 rollout."
Despite the fact that Cook has not been a major part of Apple product introductions before, he is familiar with the media whirlwind that goes along with anything Apple. And as Apple's chief operating officer, he has spoken extensively during quarterly earnings conference calls
In the past Steve Jobs has served as emcee for product unveilings, but the Apple co-founder left his position in August citing medical reasons and named Cook as his successor. During Jobs' previous medical leave of absence in 2009, Philip Schiller handled the debut of the Apple iPhone 3GS.
But Paczkowski says that a Schiller introduction "would undercut Cook's new role" at the same time as reinforcing the perception that Apple will operate differently under Cook's leadership.
"So, like his predecessor and as Jobs's right-hand man and chosen successor," Paczkowski said. "Cook is expected to be the main presenter at all big Apple media events going forward."
It is also expected that Apple will reveal its next-generation mobile operating platform iOS 5 along with the iPhone 5. The new operating system will power iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 along with Apple's popular iPad.
The new phone and operating system are expected to be available to consumers some time in October.

The Look of Love
After great success in To Have and To Kill, Piper Donovan is back starring as the soap star/cake decorator/amateur sleuth in her second Wedding Cake Mystery, The Look of Love by Mary Jane Clark, that is sure to be a smash. And just like a piece of cake, it's impossible to put down. Clark delivers another fast-paced page-turner that keeps you wondering whodunit while intermittently getting lost in love and laughs with the adorable gumshoe.
Piper Donovan accepts when the owner of Elysium, an exclusive spa and plastic surgery center, offers her an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles to create a dazzling and unique wedding cake. The job also offers Piper the time and distance she needs to sort out her feelings for handsome FBI agent Jack Lombardi.
The ultra-luxurious spa caters to the rich and famous in need of a little "refreshing" — a nip here, a tuck there, a little Botox, a little detox. Nestled in the Hollywood Hills, Elysium seems picture-perfect: the grounds, the staff, even the guests. But no sooner does Piper arrive than a guest is brutally murdered in one of the private bungalows. Someone, it seems, wants to make sure Elysium's beautiful director, Jillian Abernathy, never gets to walk down the aisle. Piper soon discovers that beneath the glamorous surface of this idyllic oasis lies an ugly truth-and a cold-blooded plan for murder.

Product Description
- Curcumin Phytosome
- Dietary Supplement
Meriva-500 is a unique, patented curcumin product. People throughout Asia have benefited from the healthful effects of curcumin for centuries. Curcumin is the orange pigment in turmeric (the primary ingredient in curry), and is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous health benefits, including supporting joint health and hepatic, GI, and cardiovascular function, by helping to maintain the body's normal inflammatory response.
Whether taken as a supplement or from food, curcumin is generally poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. In conjunction with Indena S.p.A., the worldwide experts in botanical extract technology, we have uncovered the key to curcumin absorption – phytosome technology. Meriva curcumin phytosome is a unique curcumin extract that is significantly better absorbed than other curcumin extracts.
Phytosomes are plant extracts bound to phosphatidylcholine (PC), an essential component of human cells. Our bodies can make PC, but we can also get it from food or supplements. When taken orally, PC is very well absorbed. The scientists at Indena found a way to attach a curcumin extract to PC for superior absorption, resulting in Meriva. When you take Meriva your body absorbs the PC and the attached curcumin, resulting in more curcumin reaching the cells that can benefit from it.
A 2007 single-dose pharmacokinetic animal study demonstrated Meriva's superior bioavailability, compared to ordinary curcumin. The results demonstrated a >20-fold increase in absorption of curcumin from Meriva versus a standard curcumin preparation. In addition, a 2010 three-month clinical trial demonstrated 1,000 mg of Meriva-SR per day helped maintain healthy C-reactive protein levels and promoted healthy joint comfort and mobility. Furthermore, a 2010 randomized, single-blind, crossover human study revealed total curcuminoid bioavailability, as evaluated by the plasma area under the curve (AUC), to be 29-fold higher for Meriva than for the conventional standardized curcumin extract.
Several studies have illustrated curcumin's hepatoprotective effects, leading researchers to suggest its use in protecting the liver from exogenous insults from environmental toxins. Curcumin also has the capacity to increase both the flow and solubility of bile. Curcumin's hepatoprotective effects are due in part to direct free-radical scavenging; but curcumin also enhances the body's natural antioxidant system, which increases glutathione levels, thereby aiding in hepatic detoxification and inhibiting nitrosamine formation.

Norma still catalogs brass and ammo, Hornady makes a 70 gr. spire point for it. Load data is available in the older Lyman books. I looked in #42 for it and found it listed. It used a .228 dia. bullet!!!!!!!!

Found this on Google..................
Use at your own risk!!
The 5.6x52R can be reloaded, and the Hornady Handbook, Third Edition has data for reloaders. Data for European shooters is available in European reloading manuals. IMR 3031 is recommended as a good powder for the .22 High-Power. Hornady makes a 70 grain Spire-Point .227" bullet (BC .288, SD .194) specifically for the 5.6x52R, which they describe as a "varmint and small game round." Hornady's test rifle for developing the following loads was bolt action Mauser 66 and they advise that for old lever action rifles their maximum loads should be reduced by at least 10%.
Hornady data shows that their 70 grain Spire Point can be driven to a MV of 3100 fps with 28.3 grains of N203 powder, 27.4 grains of IMR 3031 powder, or 27.6 grains of N201 powder. The trajectory of that load looks like this: +1.6" at 100 yards, 0 at 200 yards, and -7.5" at 300 yards. These loads used RWS cases and Federal 210 primers.

Seahawks Fans Created Earthquake On Lynch TD
Seismologists say Seahawks fans shook the ground under Seattle's CenturyLink Field during Saturday's defeat of the New Orleans Saints, causing another fan-generated earthquake.
The scientists believe the small earthquake during a Marshawn Lynch touchdown was likely greater than Lynch's famous "beast quake" touchdown run three years ago, which also came against New Orleans during a playoff game.

Male Birth Control – Coming Soon!Molly Thornberg
Scientists are in a race to develop an alternative to condoms for a male contraceptive method. Imagine being able to leave the birth control issue up to the male, and not having to worry about him having condoms. The new developments include advancements in a birth control pill for men, a gel injection and a uhmm.. heating of the testes…
The most studied approach in the United States is a male birth control pill that uses testosterone and progestin hormones, which send the body signals to stop producing sperm. While effective and safe for most men, they have not worked for everyone, and questions about side effects remain.
What are these side effects?
One is a reaction with alcohol. The mixture of the birth control pills with alcohol can make one ill. (Yes, let the jokes begin on how without alcohol, male birth control isn't needed as much.) Others include those similar to the side effects with birth control used by women: cholesterol levels, skin and mood changes.
In addition to birth control pills for men as contraceptives, the Male Contraception Information Project told the New York Times of their efforts other birth control for male efforts. One method is to develop a gel injection to use as birth control. The gel would be injected into the scrotum. Another method, while still in research is "heating" the testes with high frequency sound waves, which can – in some cases – stop sperm production for months. "I can imagine a world where you take your car in every six months to get your oil changed and go next door and get your ultrasound for 50 bucks," Lissner said in a statement to the New York Times.

Food memories – Pasta Salad With Crispy Prosciutto and Winter Vegetables
I grew up in the extreme north of Sweden, well above the polar circle, but when I was 9 years old, we moved back south again. I realize now how much that move must have revolutionized my diet, the whole family's diet but above all mine because I had lived there since I was two and I have only a few memories of what I ate for lunch and dinner while living in Kiruna. One thing was my mother's loved pancakes and the other was a dish called pölsa which I heartily hated, it is supposedly similar to Scottish haggis but I wouldn't know, I still avoid pölsa and I have never tried Haggis. The move back south must have made my mother feel like I did when I moved to Italy, overwhelmed and almost over stimulated by all the wonderful things you could cook with, she must have cooked her socks off as I have lots of food memories from my life after the age of 9 and I especially remember falling in love with pasta dishes. Now I know that they weren't much like the original versions that I eat here (and I know that is still often the case in my old country) but still I loved them and I love the memories I have of them; my mothers cannelloni were my absolute favourite for many years, the dish I always wanted to eat on my birthdays. Pasta is still a favourite of mine, I think that if I could decide what my life's last dish would be, it would be a plate of spaghetti alla pomarola, simple but totally satisfying.
Pasta salad is often associated with summer, but why not prepare it during the darker months as well? It is the perfect lunch dish and, because it is cold, it can be prepared ahead of time; just toss the ingredients together when it is time to eat! And it is perfect for your lunch box the day after. This tasty pasta salad is made with crispy Parma ham, cauliflower, green beans and celery root, but you can easily replace any of them with what is available, such as butternut squash or carrots.
4 servings
400 g/14 oz pasta
1 small cauliflower
1 small celery root
150 g/5,3 oz Parma ham
bunch of parsley, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic
herb salt
extra-virgin olive oil
Cook the pasta al dente, drain and rinse it with cold water. Add a few drops of olive oil and stir to keep the pasta from getting sticky.
Trim and then dice the celery root. Divide the cauliflower into florets (keep what is left for a soup) and cut the green beans into smaller pieces.
Fry the Parma ham in a non-stick skillet without any fat, one slice at a time, until they are crispy. Leave to cool on paper.
Heat up a little oil in a skillet with a slightly crushed garlic clove, add the vegetables and season with the herb salt. Braise slowly on moderate heat, add a little water now and then in the beginning to cook the vegetables faster, when they are soft, increase the temperature and cook until they are golden.
Add the vegetables to the pasta, tear the crispy Parma ham in smaller pieces and add that as well, sprinkle with parsley over and mix the salad well before serving. If needed, drizzle a little olive oil over.

Hey guys/gals,I have noticed recently some NBA teams that have been getting great lines since the betting public is slow to come around to realize things.Washington Wizards- They have been totally undervalued recently, especially at home where they have won eight of their last nine. They have beaten the injured Clippers, Knicks, and now Nets- three in a row at home, as well as Chicago and Oklahoma City. Their only home loss came to the Kings. They are nearly healthy and of course they have their most important player back- John Wall. Take a second look at this team since they are getting great lines recently.Houston Rockets- They are for real and they are almost always potential of putting up big numbers for the Over. They play quick and they play little defense at times. That is great for the over.Overvalued- Minnesota is still getting a lot of respect even with all of their team injuries. Kevin Love is a crucial player for this team but they are still getting a lot of respect as a home team. Soon bettors will realize that the Timberwolves are a weak team. They are 4-16 so far this calendar year and they are a great team to bet against right now. What do you guys think?

Don't get your hopes up for an early posting, save yourself some disappointment 😛 That being said: Laz, really lookin' forward to hearin' this one! Pot brownies have been made and will be consumed prior to hearing whats sure to be a great show!

Celebrating the archives of the Communist press
If I were to list only a fraction of the names of the thousands of people who wrote for, or cartooned for or in other ways supported the Daily Worker, Western Worker, Daily World, People's World, Voz del Pueblo and now People's Weekly World and Nuestro Mundo — in short, the Communist press in all its forms during our 83 years of existence — we'd be here for a long time.
EDITORIAL: Taxes: for what? from whom?
It's tax season. But what, exactly, does our tax bill pay for? For one, the $161 billion the Bush administration is spending in the coming year on the immiseration of Iraq and Afghanistan. Given that astronomical figure, it's astonishing that this is only about 14 percent of all military spending.
A call for justice
NEW YORK — The last couple of weeks have been very hard for the Bell family. The grand jury indictments released in March were met with heavy criticism for not going far enough.
Stealing an election New Mexico style
Over the last 100 years, voters in New Mexico have experienced a number of efforts to steal an election: everything from the range wars of the 1870s, the denial of the Indian vote and the terrorizing of Chicanos to modern-day thievery.
Mother on hunger strike for immigrant families
CHICAGO — "I'm real emotional these days, especially because of what's happening with all the raids and deportations," said Elvira Arellano. Along with her pastor, the Rev. Walter Coleman, Arellano began a 25-day hunger strike on Good Friday, April 6.

Canon PowerShot SX240 HS Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Your Comments
56 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
Decent IQ at 12Mpx…good job Canon!
stunning image quality sx240 is a great camera, why image quality is 4 to me its like 5
kindly post some night shots
Stunning samples, I had the SX260 and it wasn't anything like this , I sold it because image quality wasn't what I expected. I can't imagine what's the difference between both, but these samples makes me wan't to buy it tomorrow morning. Macro is very important to me and Canon focus is usually too slow to shoot insects, wish reviews could show samples of macro, night shots , and scene modes, it seems that they always test small sensors cameras the same way they test DSLRs .
interesting camera. all in all the pics are good, it's also interesting to see this reviewed together with the 16Mp ixus.
surprising to see how they could manage to squeeze a 20X zoom in a camera so small (also the 21x samsung).
Impressive results, a bit soft at wide angle and a bit of CA, dispersion at telephoto… but with 20x on such compact body one cannot complain about small things, a very good ISO 800 performance on those jpegs, even though I think they are a bit 'over-cooked' for my taste (but I think that is controllable in the settings).
Video sample looks quite smooth when panning in telephoto range.
This makes old bridge cameras look like a bad joke :]
If it had some brighter lens ... but you can't ask for that in such a compact design.
have this camera from last week,
an awsum camera coz everything works well.
only problem is that in AUTO mode when pics are clicked in low light(with out flash) the camera bumps up the ISO upto 1600 which causes some loss of details and noise.
overall an all-rounder camera!!!! and definitely a must buy
I agree with zebarnabe's remark about the bridge cameras. This Canon is compact & has nearly all the features of a larger, bulkier camera. I bought my SX240 HS on a cruise (after struggling with a bulkier bridge camera). Although it's not a U.S. model (per Canon, the SX260 HS is what's sold here), I'm still very happy with the camera.
Can i know… (anyone who brought the SX240 HS or the SX260 HS can answer)
>>During you play back the video you recorded, do the microphone(of your this 2 model) recorded the "buzzy" or "cripping" or "any weird" sound??
i have sx240 hs and there is no such noise while playing back the videos taken from my camera.
very rarely you might hear the noise of the lens while zooming but remember "rarely".

Noise on video playback.
Recently purchased new SX240 HS and generally pleased with performance however I am far from impressed with the audio noise on video playback when recorded in a silent room, constant HISS in the background……………….Similar type of noise level might be recorded at a christening.
I asked a local retail outlet to test their SX260 HS and found the same level of HISS on that unit.
So far none of the reviews I have read mention this problem?
today i tested my camera in a quiet environment and yes, while zooming in videos the microphone does pick up some noise of the lens movement, but i guess its not a deal breaker.
I have repeated my response to your comment as it has not appeared on your site…..........
Thank you for responding.
I tested both the SX240 HS in video record when they were stationary with nothing moving in front of them therefore no focusing or zooming was occurring, however I can hear the noise being generated internally and its quite a HISS certainly enough to be irritating.
My skills are limited however I found this recording on youtube that displays similar noise levels.
Please let me know if in your considered opinion this is normal for this type of compact camera.
Thank you
From the video, it looks like there is some noise from the auto gain feature and a certain high pitch hiss from what seems to be some amplified electromagnetic noise interference.
If I am correct, in videos with sound, for example a busy street, the auto gain should not kick in so high thus that noise and hiss should be reduced. If the hiss remains but the noise goes away it could be some sort of internal interference on the camera, a stable frequency sound is easily removable in a computer. There is the possibility that a bad batch of the manufacturing of the cameras occurred.
My Panasonic Lumix GH1 picks the 'humm' of halogen lamps together with some white noise when in a silent room, any touch on camera body will sound like a bang and even picks the noise of the focus on the supposed to be silent 14-140mm lens.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7bXYJbF2Ds
help me ...what is buy ? sx230 or sx240 ? video in fullHD is good or ?
or is best panasonic lumix or sony hx7v or hx9 ?
help me ? Mery
You should make that decision by yourself, what I can tell you is that Canon Powershot SX220 HS and Canon Powershot SX230 HS are the same camera with the added GPS in the 230 model.
In a similar way Canon Powershot SX240 HS and the SX260 HS are the same camera with the added GPS on the more expensive model. Both SX240 and SX260 replace SX220 and SX230 respectively.
Because SX220 and SX230 are older models you might find their price more atractive.
The pitfalls of those 2 older models (specially on the hungry GPS of the SX230) is the battery and a bit of chromatic aberrations.
HX9V is a very good camera as well. When the ISO gets at higher values the Canon models seem to fare better though.
The older model of the Panasonic Travel Zoom, the TZ20 or ZS10 (depends on the market/country) wasn't very good, the new TZ30 is quite good.
All the models have some fair video quality and all the models have their own personal quirks, I suggest you check image samples that exist here and in other places, print a few even, check the video samples, check online foruns for possible problems.
Compare all that with the budget you have and make your choice.
As a personal choice, I don't like Sony cameras, I liked what I saw from Panasonic TZ30, but, unless you live in US, Canon SX240 is more fairly priced. (here a TZ30 costs almost 500€, where a SX240 is a bit more than 300€). Of course, I already have a camera, so won't be buying one any time soon.
You have to do your own research, see what pleases you most, that way you can't go wrong with it. On the URL of my username I left a link to an old entry on my blog that might help.
Good luck :]
To mery60
If movies are really important for you the HX9 is hard to beat, image quality is outstanding and stabilization is so good that it seems that you are using a steady cam, never saw anything like it, much better than Canon, I had the Canon SX260 but photos were soft and with too much aberrations, the examples here are much better, so it could be my model, the 260 is made in Japan and the 240 is made in China. The new digitall zoom is fantastic and pictures taken at 40x zoom are sharper than the ones taken at 20 x optical zoom, at least in my SX260.
Focus with Sony are faster and more precise and you have much more usefull features like Handheld HDR, sweep panoramaI (Canon still uses stitch panorama, very difficult to work) , multi burst modes for low light situations (Canon has one too ) . If photos are your priority it's a tough choice, but if movies are very important then Sony is the way to go. I would'nt buy the HX9, the new HX20 or even the HX30 are much better regarding noise and operational speeds, and some new features like paint HDR, watercollor and illustration are amazing.
The diffrence between HX30 and HX20 is wifi, I think this will be one of the most important features of any camera in the near future, not just to share your photos but to control and live view via phones or tablets. that will make swivel LCDs a thing of the past, I imagine composing a picture looking at the retina display of the new Ipad while taking macros , or holding the camera in impossible positions, Panasonic has a budget model with that feature.
get you facts right buddy, i have a sx240 hs and its made in JAPAN.
for pure Image quality go for - Canon powershot S95/100
for excellent video recording -HX9V
an allrounder that is image plus video-SX 230 HS or sx 260 HS/240 hs(if you dont want the GPS)
My SX260 was made in Japan and a friend of mine got a SX240 2 days ago that was made in China, but as was mentioned that's not a rule ., the fact is that mine was made in Japan and at least that model wasn't impressive at all in terms of image, the results were very similar to those found in the review here at phrotographyblog for the 260, images were soft at long zoom and had a weird look that looked like a chromatic aberration in every edge of the picture, soft but annoying.
I sold my Sony HX9 to get the SX260 and I regret my decision, I need a pocket camera to go along my Sony HX200 and Fuji X10 that I carry almost all the time, while I wait for the new Sony HX30 I found a cheap Casio, the ZR100 , absolutely extraordinary, sharpness and fast focus makes the difference, Zoom is just 12,5 x but Casio created a multi burst for digital zoom that blends 4 pictures and creates one single very sharp picture even at 25x zoom, really impressive.
My experience with the SX260 was not good , not beacuse it's bad , but because the hX9 was better, the samples here for the SX240 shows a different story and I can't wait to get my friend's camera and do some tests. Thank you all.
1.- what is APS ?
2.- IQ what is ?
whay i buy IXUS 220 or powershot sx240 ? hlep
SX240 bought this week from Amazon UK - clearly marked 'made in Japan'.
On another point, there seems a very pronounced lag as the image is processed and stored (Class 10 Integral card, formatted in the camera).
It's bad enough to make fast moving subjects quite hard to handle.
Any comments from fellow users? I'm wondering if it could be a one-off fault or a card problem.
hey ya canon makes its cameras in japan, whereas the battery & charger as well as the accessories are made in china.
im using class 4 card and its working fine, not much of a lag.
yet to test my class 10 card.
may be compatibility issues?
Thanks, SHD. I'm going to try another card to see. Unfortunately, none of my old cards are the recommended Class 6 or above, but maybe I'll be able to borrow one.
It did handle video OK, though.
I completely agree with you concerning the HISS in the background (well, foreground!!) during the recording of a movie clip! After purchasing my Canon Powershot sx 240 I made a video with an interview of a normally speaking person in a completely silent room, and the hiss was/is prominent and irritating, almost making the voice inaudible. I went back to the shop with my powershot sx 240HS to point this out and they agreed to give me another, new sx 240 camera. I tested it today and the hiss (rustle, noise…) is identical to the preceding camera. So it seems to be something in all sx 240HS cameras?? I am deeply disappointed, because I bought this Canon (after all, a quality brand!) to make video clips of interviews. All the reviews of the Canon Powershot sx240 are enthusiastic, but I am not… Any experiences with the sound quality of videoclips are welcome.
@henri pelissier
its true that sx 240/260 HS gives this hissing noise, but wht do you expect from a 20x zoom lens which pops out so much.
look at sony hx30v & 20v, i have watched youtube videos and found similar noise from their models too.
see, the reason cheaper P&S models have optical zoom disabled in video mode is this noise.
ya its kind of a problem, but if you can live with it then njoy the camera!! :)
I need help.
I take pictures on trips and of my grandkids.
I want:
great pictures
very good flash
Which canon?
if you need the 20X zoom go for either powershot sx 240/260 HS
for pure Image quality powershot S100 is the one for you.
SX240HS - Auto setting used to take two photos of person in room. One photo room light off taken and colors seem fine. Second taken exact same in Auto with room light on and colors are out of balance with too much yellows and pink. Also experienced hissing when doing video in silent room. Happened on first and also replacement unit. Is this normal? Is there a fix? Users dependent on the Auto to give same consistent results as old Canon SD890.

I have this camera SX240HS, bought one month ago.
India, Goa.
So far, I have observed the following:
Video Filming:
Zooming is noisy, noise is lowder when no other background music etc. The noise can be noticiable
unless you take of the sound replace with new one.
Zooming is is not as smooth as my previous camera TZ10 etc (Panasonic)
It had ruined my first important video footage of a solo singing performance. It gave louder hissing sound and I don't know how it happened. I nevr had that problem again. However, it may have happended because I set the 'wind cut' on as the pvt. party singing took place in an open air.
funny Camera flash
It pops out and in with jet speed.
It can even hurt you finger
Hope Canon take into account the above problems in their next productions or upgrades
Otherwise, the Camera is very good.
I bought Canon SX240 HS powershot camera from Croma center, Vadodara, Gujarat.
Please guide me how to stitch photo frames: Easy-to-use guidelines simplify the shooting of aligned multiple frames that can later be combined (using bundled software) to create panoramic photos.
overall is a good camara.
but i dont understand why, when i take slow motion videos with the best resolution and size and when i watch it on my computer the videos are very small and when i expand the vid window it pixelates :S what can i do?
There is nothing you can do, however you have, as stated by the specs, 2 super slow motion modes (this is for european models, it my may vary):
(L) 640 x 480, 120fps
(M) 320 x 240, 240fps
at 640x480 is should be clear enough while slowing the action by 4 times, this is the old VGA resolution that is used by many cheap web cameras. The old Canon A800 recorded video with this resolution at best.
at 320x240 you will get 8 times slower than real time when played at 30fps, but detail will be half of the previous mode.
In practice it is a trade between spacial resolution and temporal resolution, the camera can only deal with that much information.
There is only one consumer grade camera, that I'm aware of, providing substantially better slow motion video, that being FZ200 from Panasonic that allows:
720p - 120 fps (NTSC) / 100 fps (PAL)
640x480 - 240 fps (NTSC) / 200 fps (PAL)
The bright aperture of 2.8 helps as well.
It costs 3 to 4 times more than Canon SX240 HS…
If you need more temporal resolution, some old Casio cameras would provide up to 1000fps… albeit with a really tiny resolution.
There are also pro-grade cameras (that can do 1080p at 500fps or even more)... but those have a price a bit prohibitive for the normal consumer.
Looks like I have naother problem with my camera SX240HS.
There was a 10 day long programe with live bands.
But none of my footage came out good, in many cases it was horrible.
Don't know it has something to to with the blasting sound system 12,000 voltage. I had similar problem initially.
here a clip in youtube
Don't know if I missing any setting on my camera.
Help in this respect wud be appreciated.
I am looking for a camera for my 75 year old mother to replace her point and shoot non digital camera that is on its last legs. I need something easy to use, that can cope with a bit of camera shake, that the fully automatic function is really good as she is a techno phobe and won't adjust anything.
Is this the correct camera? Don't think the Powershot 220 is for her as takes 6 actions to delete a photo althouh the dial to adjust what sort of photo you wanted sounded better (as had kids, scene and portrait straight on the dial). This camera would have to always be on auto. Any help would be really useful.
No one have problems with too high ISO in auto mode ? Like 400 iso in day light Sun ? Let me know please, i don't know if my can be a bad model
CHDK is now available. There are amazing RAW photos.
latest SX240 HS VIDEO
I checked out the SX240 HS and it seems to impress me, however I am not sure whether to go for a Panasonic lumix DMC or this one…one good sales man managed to convince me that the Lumix is better.
You say: "Image quality is on a par with the previous SX230", however you rates image quality 4.5 for the SX220/230 and 4.0 for the SX240. Here you are making a mistake.
I have this camera, it takes perfect photos in eny light condition da of course ,,Made in Japan", I hate chineese tech products.
Very good camera,all weather friend.
I have just made video clip using SX240hs zooming

I just bought my SX240 HS with a WP-DC46 waterproof camera housing. Does anyone have experience in using this camera for underwater photography during diving? Any recommendations on settings to use, etc?
Bought the PowerShot SX240 HS on a cruise when my DSLR developed a problem and I couldn't shot with it. The Canon Sx240 now has a problem with the CCD Sensor where the display screen goes black and makes the camera un-useable. Canon in the US will not repair the camera as it is from the UK. Does anyone have any information on how I would go about getting this repaired via the UK? It should still be under warranty or should I just take it to a camera repair shop and pay the bill. Has anyone experienced a problem with the CCD Sensor? Thanks.
I think the SX240HS is an excellent all rounder. I have had mine for 18 months now and its been a great travel companion. I mainly visit stately homes, gardens and landscapes. The garden pictures always turn out well saturated with good contrast and clarity. I do occasional flowers and some macro as well.
I have owned quite a few Canon camera's now from the S3iS, Sx10iS, SX230, IXUS220HS/ELPH300HS and for the last 18 months the SX240HS. I think this is one of the best Canon's I have owned especially as I have a bad back and cannot carry a heavy camera around any more. The 25-500mm lens is amazing and pretty sharp at the top end too. I also find the image stabiliser very good in this camera especially at the top end of the zoom and at low shutter speeds.
During the summer while visiting stately homes I started to photograph the interiors as well, something I have not done in the past because of noise with high iso's. Not a problem with the 240HS as I have been using up to iso1600 and the images have been very clean with hardly any noise.
I have thought about getting the new Canon SX270/SX280 but there seems to be a problem with battery discharge. I still love my 240 so have decided to keep it till Canon announce the new super zoom travel camera's in 2014 and see what they will have to offer.
But all in all I would highly recommend this camera to anyone.
Yes, there is an internal-noise when video is recorded and is irritating during playback. It seems there is no this can be prevented.
The 20x zoom put to this model is really impressing. The Panaromic picture capturing method this camera has is really sloppy and disappointing. I used to have a Samsung-Jet cellphone that had a very easy built-in Panaromic picture capturing mechanism 6 years back and I wonder why Canon has not given importance on this to SX240.
Wyoming, when I bought this camera a year ago, the camera shop clerk told me that there was some significant feature on the 260 that made it take pictures differently (and not as well) as the 240. Sorry I can't remember what he told me. Bhoward, yes I am just now experiencing this sensor problem and I know that my camera was made in the UK, too. I'm not too happy to hear that I can't get it fixed here. Am taking it back to camera shop tomorrow and will let you know what they tell me. I did, after all, BUY it in the U.S.!
BHoward - I am having this same problem, with the CCD Sensor causing the screen to go black (but it still takes pictures…I point and guess). Unfortuantely, my camera is past its 1-year warranty. Can you tell me if there was a solution? I called the Canon call-centre, and they said to send it in, and it is an automatic $149 bill to fix. Wow. And I've been so happy with this camera until this happened.
I just re read my previous comment about the Canon SX240. I see I promised a followup and have not done that yet. So here's what I found out. I took it back to the camera shop and they sent it to Canon. In two weeks it was back with a terse note saying they WOULD NOT fix it…not that they couldn't but that they wouldn't. They explained that they had no way of knowing if it was a bogus, aftermarket camera. I have the paperwork from the original transaction, from a very legitimate camera shop, and I know it is not an aftermarket ripoff camera. But Canon is not listening. I was so angry that I vowed I never buy another camera from Canon. So I bought a Sony point and shoot. Alas, it is not the Canon. It takes good pictures, but I am used to the Canon which took exceptional photographs. Because I love that Canon so much, I am keeping it and taking it with me next time I go to the UK to see if I can get it fixed. The camera shop said all it needs is a new card! Good luck to the rest of you
I had same virtually black screen with my SX240 camera. Was over 1 year old but used very little. Pictures on memory card fine. Battery fully charged. Initially reset if battery taken out and refitted. Then that also stopped working. These are the first comments I have seen of same problem. Alas no fixes. Wrote to Canon - no help.

Figure skating great Peggy Fleming and former bobsled champion Vonetta Flowers of Birmingham sustained "minor injuries" Sunday in a traffic accident while riding in Vice President Joe Biden's motorcade at the Vancouver Olympics, a spokesman for Biden said.
The motorcade was carrying members of the U.S. delegation to an event when the "minor accident" occurred, spokesman Jay Carney said.
Fleming and Flowers were in a van and taken to a hospital as a precaution and were released, Carney said. Neither Biden nor anyone else in his party was involved in the accident.
The two former Olympians later attended a figure skating competition, sitting in the row in front of Biden.
Olympic authorities said the accident happened shortly before noon. Fleming and Flowers were in the motorcade's next-to-last vehicle, which was rear-ended and hit the car in front of it.
Scott Gordon, spokesman for the Integrated Security Unit, said the accident was possibly caused by poor road conditions and perhaps an oil slick.
Fleming won the gold medal at the 1968 Grenoble Olympics. Flowers, a Jackson-Olin High School and UAB graduate, became the first black athlete to win gold in a Winter Olympics at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.

A group of researchers have identified patterns of hypermethylation at a large number of genetic loci in a subgroup of glioblastoma patients who tend to be relatively young at the time of diagnosis and experience improved outcome.
The team comprised scientists from The Cancer Genome Atlas Consortium (TCGA) led by a team from the University of Southern California and The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Their results are published in Cancer Cell in a paper titled "Identification of a CpG Island Methylator Phenotype that Defines a Distinct Subgroup of Glioma."
To investigate the potential role of methylation in glioblastoma, the researchers profiled promoter DNA methylation alterations in 272 glioblastoma tumors from TCGA.
Their results showed that 24 of these glioblastomas were methylated at CpG islands of the defined gene set. This indicated the existence of what they termed a glioma-CpG island methylator phenotype (G-CIMP). The findings were validated in a set of non-TCGA glioblastomas and low-grade gliomas.
Of the 24 methylated tumors, 21 were in the proneural group. Moreover, among grade IV glioblastoma patients, the median survival for the CIMP-positive group was 150 weeks compared with 42 weeks for those negative for the epigenetic signature. CIMP-positivity was also more common in low-to-intermediate grade tumors. There was a 10-fold increase in methylation in grade II tumors compared with grade IV glioblastomas.
"G-CIMP tumors belong to the proneural subgroup, are more prevalent among lower-grade gliomas, display distinct copy-number alterations, and are tightly associated with IDH1 somatic mutations," the researchers conclude. "Patients with G-CIMP tumors are younger at the time of diagnosis and experience significantly improved outcome."
The researchers also suggest that CpG island biomarkers could help identify which low- or intermediatie-grade glioma patients have relatively good or poor prognoses.

Had one since the early 90's, maybe 1000 through it no failures of any kind. I have read they are one of the better imported AK variants but they never interested me enough to be sure. It has just been a toy for guests and maybe trading stock as I bought it cheap.
September 15, 2007, 04:35 PM
The forged receiver rifles are quite good.
Until the Bulgarian rifles came along they were one of the best AK buys going.
September 15, 2007, 04:57 PM
They are quite good.
September 15, 2007, 05:07 PM
I bought one of the MAK 90 rifles and a Russian SKS rifle together, before the 'ban' years ago.
I paid $159 for each.
I didn't have them two weeks, and a friend of a friend offered me $450 for the MAK.
Well. . . it was clean. Unfired. He wanted it. I really didn't 'need' it. . . .
And $450 is $450 you know.
I don't miss that rifle.:D
September 15, 2007, 05:50 PM
Quite good, the stamped receiver models are as good or better than any others out there, and the milled {imported one year, 93} are true gems. Regardless, both are rugged, durable, well made AKs. Pricing for them starts at about $350-400, if your looking for an AK, a Mak90 is a great place to start.
September 15, 2007, 07:52 PM
In the pantheon of AKs, the MAK-90s are in the upper half in terms of quality. The only things you'll be missing out on are the "evil" nonsporting features and 922r compliance. All that can be fixed easily (well, except for the bayonet mount). But if you want a quality AK, the MAK is a good one.

Sales must be flagging.
Have a look at this: Give statins to healthy Scots now | UK | News | Daily Express
Love the way they've ignored the fact that statins have horrible side effects and may not work; and people should take responsibility for their own health and improve their diet and lifestyle... But no.... Eat whatever shite you like and just pop one of these pills.....
I was up there in September for a conference at a University. At lunchtime everything was wheat based so I went hunting for a salad in the main uni building (3 restaurants and 3 shops) - got some very funny looks and no salad....
(put this in wrong section first...)
Sales must be flagging.
My dad's doc put him on a statin and it nearly killed him. It caused a really unsafe drop in his blood pressure.
Sometimes I think doctor's ideas of what constitutes "safe" and "healthy" are drastically different from mine. I had a doc that said that a certain beta blocker he wanted me to take was so safe it should be put in the water supply. I checked it out and the data sheet for it said one of the side effects of taking it was death. Um, no thanks. And it definitely doesn't belong in the water.
High Weight: 225
Weight at start of Primal: 189
Current Weight: 174
Goal Weight: 130
Primal Start Date: 11/26/2012
I suppose when you have a hammer, lots of things look like nails. My first inkling that dr might not always know best came when a friend admitted to the college doctor that he was sometimes anxious, and dr started talking enthusiastically about putting him on beta blockers. Then I mentioned annual chilblains, and he was all excited about an operation that could be done to sever certain nerves to hands and feet to prevent that. Hm, yes, thank you, very interesting, I'll just be backing away calmly towards the door now...
And yes, statins. Heh. A friend who is 92, female, has never had a heart attack or angina... is on a statin. I have a nasty feeling I'm seeing the effects in her short-term memory - and she's starting to notice it, too. Of course the most important thing to her is to be able to carry on living independently in her own home, and what does a statin do for her chances of that? Oh, how I would like five minutes alone with her doctor.
Doctors are largely conservative and risk averse. We are all probably guilty of doing things because that's what we have always done. I feel incredibly lucky that the internet has provided me with access to so much information/ propaganda so that I can make up my own mind. I'd still be eating wholewheat bread and cutting the fat off my steak wondering why I was slowly getting too fat for my suit even though I am exercising more...it's there for everyone who gives enough of a crap about their health to find out (including doctors).
Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them.
Incredibly, few doctors understand the statistics that are published in research papers, the presentation of which is always skewed to give the impression of significant benefit. In many respects, the reviewers and publishers are failing their audience by allowing this to happen, rather than forcing the publication of more meaningful statistics, such as absolute risk and number needed to treat, rather than relative risk, in the headline. Then it'd be much easier to see what are waste of money are many of the prescriptions they write, even before you start considering the potential for harm that is always minimised in the published studies
