Selected performance:
Wednesday 3rd July
Young US rising star pianist who was last seen in the club as a member of Wynton Marsalis' band. Highly recommended!
Jon Batiste – Piano, "Harmonaboard" (Melodica), Vocals
Eddie Barbash - Alto Sax, Vocals
Barry Stephenson - Bass
Joseph Saylor - Drums & Tambourine
Ibanda Ruhumbika - Tuba & Trombone
With his unique voice, virtuosic piano chops and dapper sense of style, Jon Batiste transcends music genres and has ignited the NYC music scene.
Raised among the sounds and rhythms of New Orleans, Bastiste comes from a renowned lineage of performers. He studied jazz and classical piano at The Juilliard School, is a "Movado Future Legend" award recipient, and a "Steinway Performing Artist."
At 25, he has performed in over 40 countries, playing everywhere from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to the Kennedy Center and Concertgebouw. With his modern take on American music, and clever use of the harmonaboard, Batiste has collaborated with musicians from across the spectrum – Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Wynton Marsalis, Jimmy Buffett, Harry Connick Jr., Roy Hargrove, Cassandra Wilson, Mark O'Connnor and Asher Roth among them.
Jon Batiste is also the founder and leader of Stay Human, a modern jazz ensemble noted for their world-class music, high energy and uplifting spirit. Dedicated to igniting the next generation of musicians, in his position as co-director and music curator at The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, Batiste has programmed year-long educational workshops for hundreds of students.
Jon Batiste
At 25, Jon Batiste is considered by many to be one of the most exciting and progressive new crossover talents on the scene today. A "Movado Future Legend" award recipient, and a "Steinway Performing Artist", Jon has performed in innumerable prestigious events and venues across the world. His modern take on the American songbook, through the channels of a virtuosic pedigree in jazz and classical music, is attracting critical acclaim as well as audiences across all demographics. Together with his band Stay Human, Jon is creating a unique grassroots movement that encourages accessibility and appreciation in the art of the live performance.
Apart from his natural focus, Jon is also a noted advocate for music education (Traveling Ambassador for Music Unites, Associate Artistic Director for the National Jazz Museum) and a regular figure in television and film (HBO's Treme, Spike Lee's "Red Hook Summer").
Eddie Barbash
At 23, Eddie Barbash is one of the most exciting, sought-after young alto saxophonists of his generation. He has performed at major clubs and festivals worldwide, principally as a member of the Stay Human Band, but also as a multi-reed man for drummer legend Chico Hamilton in Chico's sextet, Euphoria. In 2009 he founded The Tres Amigos, a sax-guitar-accordion trio that performs diverse repertoire using close-harmony vocal arrangements and instrumental improvisation. Eddie has performed with a range of artists, including Wynton Marsalis, Wycliffe Gordon, Terrence Blanchard, Paquito D'Rivera, and Kurt Elling. He is a graduate of the Juilliard School.
Ibanda Ruhumbika
At 22, Ibanda Ruhumbika is quickly becoming one of the most recognized tuba players in the United States. A native of Athens, Georgia, he has won numerous national and international music competitions, in addition to being featured on several nation-wide television and radio broadcasts. Ibanda has been a soloist with members of the New York Philharmonic Brass Section as well as with "The President's Own" Marine Band. Classically trained, he is well versed in jazz and other styles of music. He is a member of Jonathan Batiste and the Stay Human Band, where he is helping to revolutionize the role of the tuba in the modern-day jazz ensemble.
Joe Saylor
Joe Saylor is quickly being recognized as one of the most dynamic and exciting percussionists. Playing music since the age of three, Saylor has performed with jazz legends such as Roy Hargrove, Wynton Marsalis, Dwayne Dolphin, Steve Wilson, Joe Lovano, Jon Faddis, Slide Hamptom, and Ellis Marsalis. An avid advocate of music education, Saylor has conducted jazz education workshops at many of the country's finest institutions, including Stanford University. In 2010, he was featured in the second season of HBO's hit show Tremé, a television series about the lives of New Orleans in the wake of Katrina. Saylor is a member of the Stay Human Band and a graduate of both the Manhattan School of Music and The Juilliard School.
Barry Stephenson is an in-demand bassist in the New Orleans music scene as well as the southeastern region of the United States. Originally from Miami, FL, Barry studied at Florida State University with jazz bassist Rodney Jordan as well as the classical bass professor, Melanie Punter, and the legendary Marcus Roberts. After graduation, Barry was invited to participate, on a full scholarship, in the Centrum Jazz Workshop under the artistic direction on John Clayton. He then attended the University of New Orleans under the tutelage of Roland Guerin and participated in Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead during the Spring of 2011 and 2013, the Steans Music Institute Program at Ravinia, and the Catskills Jazz Factory while in graduate school.
Stephenson has had the honor and privilege to swing out with such notable musicians as Albert "Tootie" Heath, Wynton, Branford, Ellis, Delfeayo, and Jason Marsalis, Marcus Roberts, Herlin Riley, Wessell Anderson, Victor Goines, Henry Butler, Shannon Powell, Troy Davis, Trombone Shorty, Marc Cary, Nate Smith, Aaron Diehl, Maurice Brown, Quamon Fowler, Kermit Ruffins, Ricky Sebastian, Irvin Mayfield, Marcia Ball, and Marlon and Stephanie Jordan.
When he is not performing, teaching, composing, or practicing, Barry is playing with his funk band Barry Stephenson's Pocket, his jazz trio Troika, and working on his debut album to be released in 2013.

North Central College today is fertile ground for collaborations across disciplines and experiments with curriculum, facilities design and technology. It adds up to better opportunities for student learning and liberal arts education relevant to the 21st century.
A conversation between music major Brian Riordan '12 and Jonathon Kirk, assistant professor of music, may contain some computer programming terms more often heard in the computer science department. With Kirk's help, Riordan has been programming an interface—developing programming language—to control digital audio processing. A touch panel device in Kirk's office is mapped to real-time processes and can be programmed to recognize various hand gestures by the user.
"Brian and I have been finding ways to control and shape electronic sounds, and programmable interfaces give us new ways to experiment with music," explains Kirk. "Brian has the patience to work with this technological component."
The pair has been working with Max/MSP, a programming language that is used for a variety of multimedia applications. In addition to collaborating with Riordan, Kirk teaches courses in electronic and computer music that focus on the synthesis and processing of digital sound and the use of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). Among his students are music majors and interactive media studies (IMS) majors. Also a composer, Kirk holds advanced degrees from Eastman School of Music, Brown University and Northwestern University and has organized a Sounds of New Music Festival the past two years, allowing students to hear performances and attend workshops by artists in contemporary classical music ensembles.
Riordan, a hand percussionist, enjoys performing jazz and world music and has studied at the National School of the Arts in Havana, Cuba. But his real passion is composing, whether acoustic, orchestral, choral or electronic. He came to North Central two years ago as a transfer student and found the perfect mentor in Kirk. "My focus with him is still composing," says Riordan. "It was so great to find someone who had his level of expertise and knowledge."
Exploring digital technologies in the field of music gives students new perspectives on creating and controlling sounds. "While sound is invisible, these technologies allow students to form a different kind of tactile relationship with music," Kirk explains. "You can get even closer to understanding the beauty of sound and music."

Help reshape East MontpelierOctober 03,2013
Since the East Montpelier Select Board created a charter committee this spring, the group has been researching and analyzing ways in which changes in the way East Montpelier governs itself might benefit the town. On Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. at the U-32 cafeteria, the committee is preparing to share its progress to date with the community while seeking both feedback and suggestions. The committee is planning to complete its work in time for a charter proposal to be included on the town meeting ballot in March.
The focus of issues under consideration is to make the governing structures of the town more effective. We will recommend that some positions, such as treasurer, which have become more complex over the years and require specific skills, become employees of the town hired by the Select Board. Other positions are being examined, also with an eye to whether they should be elected or appointed or, in a few cases, abolished because they no longer have any independent function.
We are examining how to bring consistency to the ways in which various groups operate for instance by making sure all people working on behalf of the town are subject to an enforceable conflict of interest policy. In some cases, the committee will recommend that items be included in a charter if that is the only, or the best, way to accomplish what needs to be done. For other things, the recommendation may be for the town to create an ordinance that doesnt require the Legislatures approval.
Agendas, minutes and other documents that describe the committees work are available at https://app.box.com/EM-Charter-Comm. This link is also available from the Signpost website, www.emsignpost.com.
Please come to the U-32 cafeteria on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. and be part of this important process.

Spring (Training) Has Sprung
The Phils kicked off Spring Training 2011 today with a news conference to show off their much-ballyhooed-before-they've-even-thrown-a-pitch-together rotation. I'm not sure what the whole point was, really, as no new ground was covered. The questions were predictable, as were the responses.
All five starters were present.
Yes, five. Of course, the way the media have been hyping the "Four Aces", one could be forgiven for forgetting that there is, in fact, a fifth starter. You know, the Other Guy, Joe Blanton.
At one point, one of the media members led off a question to Cole Hamels by stating that he was the "only one with a ring". Uh, hellooo? Joe Blanton was on the '08 staff too. Said reporter quickly corrected himself. I guess he's been listening to all that hype a bit too much.
The pitchers themselves seem to be trying to downplay the whole "Four Aces" thing. When asked which of the nicknames for the rotation they liked best, Cliff Lee asked what they were. Someone out of range of the microphone rattled off a few. Kudos to Cliff for pointing out that all he heard in those nicknames were references to four guys, but there were five guys up on the podium.
Even after the conference had ended, Comcast's Michael Barkann referred to the "Mount Rushmore" of rotations in his wrap-up.
Yo, Michael! Mount Rushmore only has four heads!
Hmm, not a bad image. But look! There's a bit of space there to squeeze in a fifth head.
OK, so it's a wee bit smaller than the others. Let's just hope that the starting five can live up to the "monumental" expectations already being thrown their way.
9 Comments
and i thought I was the only one that saw the press conference as lame…. would have been better if the blogging fans had been asking the questions I think…
Pure Joe Blanton is going to get a much attention as Little Joe Cartwright on "Bonanza".
Sure he will get noticed, even called snazzy and reliable,but in the end, the girl will go to the older, more seasoned members of the rotation.
I guess you can be glad the media did not throw the hype machine into full gear onthe first day. Maybe it, like the drop on a sinker or the hitter present bat speed just needs time to adequately adjust itself. Expect the hype machine to be running on all8 cylinders by March 31st…Varoom, Varoom!
Rays Renegade
LOL, Sue. I love your photo shopping! Good work as always. And poor Blanton. I mean how many ways can you make a guy feel slighted? Sheesh!
Joe who? Can I get him to mow my lawn? When we (NYM) unleash Oliver Perez on you…we'll see who'll be laughing then..
I'm back from the dead. Hope your winter went well.
Peter, I'm sure we could have come up with more interesting questions! Not sure MLB would go for that idea, though….
Renegade, granted he's not on the level of the other four, but I'll happily take Blanton as #5. He's got an above .500 W/L record for his career, so that works for me.
Jane, you should try Photoshop some time. You would definitely come up with some amusing images!
Mike, if you're threatening me with Oliver Perez, I may start laughing.😉 Good to see you back, and glad to know I wasn't the only one hibernating this winter.
Jenn, I like it!
Poor Joe. He's the Rodney Dangerfield of the starting pitchers.
LOL Sue! Good job with the photoshop! Great to see you back! I was expecting to see a pic of chicken when I saw the "sprung"
To compound all that "Four (not Five) Aces" talk, there was the "talk" that Blanton was on the trading block. One would have been forgiven for thinking that Blanton was radioactive, or something. He seemed to be "out the door" more than once. Hmmm…

Volatile times demand pervasive visibility & flexibility.
Cost and currency fluctuations, supply disruptions, transportation capacity constraints and production recalls. As a Supply Chain Executive, you must handle all of this volatility, and more, in a transparent manner. If you don't – if there is even one misstep – your whole Supply Chain and its extended network can be brought to an abrupt halt.
So how can you drive integration and visibility? Work smarter.
The Supply Chain of the Future has the instrumentation, interconnectedness and intelligence to predict, if not prevent, disruptions before they occur. It relies on new approaches that employ sensor technologies, new analytic capabilities and simulation techniques to not just sense and respond, but anticipate and act.
What are some major insights and issues that top supply chain executives are dealing with? The IBM Supply Chain Study reflects thoughts from 400 supply chain professionals worldwide. Some of the answers might surprise you.

She eats one meal a day cereal/veggie and I started to add a little bit of fruit. When do I do more? Should I try cereal early and then the fruit/veggie later? I don't want to her stop BF so I am concerned. She is happy and content but also loves to eat. I haven't started any of the finger food things like dried fruit or puffs. She has no teeth. Thank you all for your help!

Safe paint is one of the primarily elements of green building. Using only low- and zero-VOC paints spares you and your family from inhaling the toxic fumes that traditional paints release into the atmosphere at dangerous levels, so it's worth it to choose your paint carefully and wisely. Low-VOC is definitely a step up from typical, high-VOC paint, but the best choice, both for your health and the environment, is zero-VOC paint.
But what exactly are VOCs? They're what make up that new-paint smell, which might seem harmless enough, and at any rate it does go away after a few days. But it's actually far from innocent: VOCs are toxic; connected to more health hazards than we can even list here. VOCs are chemicals that become breathable gases at room temperature, and the ones typically found in paint include benzene, toluene, vinyl chloride, formaldehyde, ethyl and mercury. Yes, if you've ever used typical paint, you've been inhaling mercury!
These chemicals are damaging enough to our bodies, often triggering eye, nose and throat irritation, fatigue, headaches and sometimes even vomiting, according to the EPA. But beyond that, they combine with other elements to transform into ozone, contributing to ongoing air pollution. And most traditional paint continues to release VOCs into the air for several years after any detectable smell has gone away. In fact, only 50% of a paint job's VOCs are released into the air during the first year, according to Green Seal.
To make your search for safe paint just a little easier, Green Depot carries a whopping five distinct lines of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints, with something for virtually every paint application you can think of—from your baby's nursery to the concrete floor of a mechanic's garage. And our paint tints are zero-VOC too, so even custom colors stay zero-VOC, which is unusual in today's market.
Our zero-VOC Ivy Coatings line is made in Brooklyn, near our NYC home base. It and our zero-VOC AFM Safecoat paints can be tinted with our house pigments to match any swatch or other manufacturer's color you might have already chosen. YOLO Colorhouse and Ana Sova Food Paint don't offer custom colors, but their existing ranges are extensive and gorgeous. Then for specialty and industrial applications, take a look at the Ecoprocote line of paints, stains, varnishes and sealers for concrete, wood and more.

My DD seems to be doing well despite our rough start. She's now at 8 4 after being born at 7 3 on 8/11. As I've mentioned in previous posts, she looks like she might just be lean like me. She's grown 2 inches since birth, from 20 1/2 to 22 1/2 so that makes me happy.
I sometimes look at her and feel she should be bigger. Doc says she is fine but why can't I just move on with her being a lean baby. Any of you ever experience this?
I feed on demand and co-sleep. She's alert, smiles alot and doesn't get fussy at the breast b/c of lack of milk.
On a side not, I'm so tired

Youth-Parent Socialization Panel Study, 1965-1973 (ICPSR 7779)
Principal Investigator(s): Jennings, M. Kent; Niemi, Richard G.
This study has two parts: a youth panel and a parent panel. High school students and their parents were interviewed in 1965 and reinterviewed in 1973. The panel study is designed to assess political continuity and change across time for two biologically-related generations and to explore life cycle, generational, and period effects. Analysis can be performed at the aggregate as well as the individual level. Because the two samples come from the same families, parent-offspring pairs can be formed (by matching I.D. numbers). At the core of the study are a number of standard political variables available at both time points. The 1973 wave includes a number of questions that capture the political and non-political histories of the respondent across the eight-year panel period. Also included in the 1973 data are a large number of variables dealing with perspectives on public policy issues. The 1965 youth wave schedule contains detailed questions about high school experiences, and both the youth and parental schedules treat familial relationships.

However, the county judge added, this recent development also begs the question: What happens now?
The BCAA network operated for nearly 37 years but recently closed when the Bee County Commissioners Court voted voluntarily to relinquish all its programs as of June 4. In addition to Live Oak and Bee, BCAA also served Aransas and Refugio counties.
All programs relinquished by the agency have been assumed by the Alice-based Rural Economic Assistance League Inc. Services such as Transportation and Head Start continue in Live Oak County and the county's transportation program is now provided by REAL based in Jim Wells County. Real provides transportation services to Live Oak, Bee, San Patricio, Refugio, Aransas, Brooks and Jim Wells counties.
It is always difficult to compensate for the loss of community organizations such as BCAA—which are complex and fueled by federal and state grants with the service delivery area they support providing local funds.
"BCAA has been a part of Live Oak County since they began in many facets," Judge Huff said. "We have had in place agreements to provide the HeadStart Program, transportation program, and meals on wheels program. Meals for our seniors were originally prepared and delivered door to door by BCAA. Years later, we picked up the meals from them and delivered them. Now our meals program and congregate site runs completely in house."
REAL Director Martin Ornelas told the Refugio County Press he doesn't predict any major changes with the transition—although new routes could be added and a change from three to five days is under consideration.
Ornelas said his agency is using special software expected to save 40 percent while increasing services.
"It's amazing what technology can do," Ornelas said.

The loss of the BCAA places an even greater emphasis on the work of a local group already discussing and identifying local transportation needs, Huff said.
"Approximately oneand-a-half years ago, Live Oak County supported a grant to study transportation needs in the two most under served counties in the Coastal Bend, Live Oak and Refugio," the judge said. "The work on assessing our needs and ways to fill those needs are ongoing with the results forthcoming very soon. I asked a group of local citizens who represent fields from education to health care and elected officials to identify needs for transportation."
This work group meets monthly, and their progress indicates expanding the current program in any number of ways is very possible.
"While transportation to medical appointments remains a priority and continues, transportation to Coastal Bend College for our students as well as local trips to the store are just two more of the many possibilities," Huff said.

Comcast Plans to Roll Out Broadband Speeds of 50 Mbps by 2010

The Twin Cities are the lucky guinea pigs for Comcast's new high-speed internet
Verizon's FiOS fiber broadband connection is currently the only option for United States Internet surfers to wander about the world wide web while downloading content at up to 50 Mbps and uploading data at up to 20 Mbps. However, Verizon's FiOS service is limited to a few areas at this time, even though roll-out is being performed slowly but surely.
Recently, Comcast also announced plans to increase the maximum bandwidth of its
broadband service to 50 Mbps download
and 5 Mbps upload bandwidth to compete with Verizon.
Currently, Comcast is running its broadband service aalong the DOCSIS 2.0 protocol, or the second generation of the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications. This protocol tops out with a maximum downstream bandwidth of 42.88 Mbps while the maximum upstream bandwidth tops out at 30.72 Mbps.
For Comcast to increase its bandwidth, it will have to begin using DOCSIS 3.0 compliant hardware. The initial DOCSIS 3.0 specs will utilize four channels over cable; which allows the compatible hardware to serve twice the amount of data per second than DOCSIS 2.0's dual channel design.
Through the 4-channel design, DOCSIS 3.0 compliant hardware will allow a maximum of 170 Mbps and 123 Mbps downstream and upstream bandwidth respectively. To achieve this higher bandwidth, Comcast must upgrade its back-end infrastructure to to hardware complaint with DOCSIS 3.0 and must also provide upgrades to customers' leased modems or offer new hardware that is capable of supporting DOCSIS 3.0.
The high-bandwidth options from Comcast are in trial in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota but Comcast states it will begin mass rollout once the design has been finalized and ready for use over its nationwide infrastructure, which Comcast's president of marketing and product development states may be by 2010.
Meanwhile, Verizon has brought its fiber-based broadband connection to a number of markets in the U.S. If Comcast goes through with these speed increases, we may hopefully see some long-awaited price wars in the broadband industry.
Pricing for the 50/20 Mbps download/upload package is stated around $150 and is only planned for the residential market. Business owners may have the option for a higher-bandwidth package in the future, however, no pricing information has been made available at this time.

- Resonant localization, enhancement, and polarization of optical fields in nano-scale interface regions for photo-catalytic applications
- Author(s)
- Mizeikis, Vygantas; Kowalska, Ewa; Juodkazis, Saulius
- Abstract
- We report results of theoretical simulations of optical field enhancement in a system consisting of spherical and hemispherical noble metal nanoparticles on a smooth titania surface, which is a model system relevant to applications in photo-catalysis and solar energy harvesting. Simulations conducted using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique reveal presence of resonant optical extinction bands at visible wavelengths, whose optical scattering is weak, but the associated localization and intensity enhancement of optical near-field are significant. For hemispheres, the field is strongly localized at the metal-substrate interface, where intensity enhancement of up to 10(4) times is reached. Moreover, the field is predominantly polarized along the normal to the substrate. These findings indicate potential of the hemisphere-substrate system for applications relying on optically promoted charge transport through the metal-substrate interface, such as photochemical reactions and light-to-current conversion. The results of theoretical analysis are compared with reported experimental data on photo-catalytic reactions.

UPDATED: Launched at the end of 2011 the Fuji X10 combines retro rangefinder looks with advanced digital camera technology to deliver a fantastic advanced compact. However, with the enthusiast compact segment welcoming so many new models over the past 12 months, is the X10 still able to compete? Find out in the What Digital Camera Fuji X10 review...
Fujifilm X10 Review
compact camera that's likely to appeal to enthusiast photographers looking for
something that's small enough to be carried at all times, while still being
able to deliver the flexibility and user experience of a DSLR. In addition, the
X10 also makes some concessions towards more casual users by offering a range
of fully automatic exposure options, including Fuji's proprietary EXR shooting
At the time of its launch towards the end
of 2011, the X10's 2/3in EXR CMOS sensor was touted as one of the largest yet
fitted to an advanced compact. In the 12 months that have elapsed since the X10
was launched, however, a handful of new advanced compacts have come to market that
use larger sensors. The first of these is the Sony RX100, which sports a 1in
sensor. The Canon G1X, meanwhile, is built around a 18.7 x 14mm sensor that is
only fractionally smaller than a standard APS-C chip as used in most
consumer-grade DSLRs.
That's not to do down the X10's excellent
2/3in sensor, however, as it's still larger than what's found inside many of
its much newer advanced compact rivals including the Olympus XZ-2, Nikon P7700,
Canon S110 and Samsung EX2F – all of which use a 1/1.7in sensor that is
fractionally smaller than the X10's. The Lumix LX7, meanwhile, uses a smaller
still 1/1.6in chip.
Fujifilm X10 review – Features
Of course, while the physical size of a
sensor is recognised as having an important bearing on low-light performance, depth of field possibilities and overall image quality, it isn't by any
means the sole criteria by which cameras should be judged. One of the bigger selling points of the X10 is that is benefits from Fujifilm's proprietary EXR technology. In practical terms this enables the camera to adapt for high ISO capture by combining neighbouring pixels to increase the light gathering capabilities of the sensor and deliver a cleaner 6MP image with less image noise.
The EXR sensor can also be set to improve the dynamic range of the shot, again by splitting the pixel array in half, with one half capturing hightlight detail, while the other half records shadow detail. This information is then combined to produce a 6MP image with a broader dynamic range than is possible with a standard shot. The standard ISO range runs from 100-3200, but shooting in JPEG only and at a reduced resolution of 6MP, an ISO of 6400, while at 3MP, ISO 12,800 is possible.
Instead of a fixed focal length lens, the X10 features a 4x optical zoom, ranging from 28-112mm, with a variable maximum aperture of f/2-2.8. It offers the same focal range as the Olympus XZ-1, but due to the XZ-1's variable maximum aperture of f/1.8-2.5, the X10 is a touch slower. The Canon G12 offers a bit more reach, but only offers a maximum aperture of f/2.8 at the wide end.
The X10 also offers a new Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) system to reduce the risk of camera shake.

As well as the 2.8in screen with a resolution of 460K dots, there's also a built-in optical viewfinder. It's not as groundbreaking as the hybrid viewfinder found on the X100, but displays the len's zoom and delivers 85% coverage. There's no shooting information overlaid over the display.
There's a 49-point selectable contrast-detect AF system with the option to opt for multi-area, tracking and face-detection. There's a choice of single, continuous and manual focus modes. For close-up photography, there's a Macro and Super Macro mode too.
The X10 also offers a host of drive modes. As well as single and self-timer (2sec and 10sec settings), there's the choice of continuous shooting speeds up to 7fps at full resolution (5fps if you're shooting in Raw), while 10fps is possible at a reduced resolution of 6MP. There's also the choice to shoot bracketed ISO, Exposure, Dynamic Range and Film Simulation modes too.
Hidden in the top plate is a little pop up flash, and thanks to the design of the leaf shutter, the flash can be synchronized at any shutter speed you wish – even up to 1/4000sec. The flash itself though doesn't kick out that much power and is only really suitable for close-range fill-in photography. There is a standard hotshoe though, so a dedicated Fujifilm flashgun can be attached if you need more power.
The X10 can shoot HD movie clips at 1080p and at a rate of 30fps. Footage is recorded using the H.264 codec and output as MOV files straight from camera.
Fujifilm X10 review – Design
Looks-wise the X10 follows a rangefinder-style, retro design that's similar to the X100, and as such, it's a great looking piece of kit. Proportionally, it's quite a bit smaller than the X100, with a footprint similar to that of a Canon G12.
Both the bottom and top plates of the X10 are constructed from magnesium, while the rest of the body is finished off in a durable synthetic leather. With the mode dial, zoom ring and exposure compensation dial all milled from solid metal, the X10 feels a like a real premium product in the hand.
There's a subtle handgrip, while on the rear you'll find a smooth rubberised thumb rest. The X100 had a traditional aperture ring round the lens, but this is not the case with the X10. Instead, there's a manual zoom ring that also functions as the on/off switch – twist it round from the Off position to 28mm to spark the camera into life.
The rest of the X10's front is pretty sparse: there's an AF mode switch, viewfinder window, and AF-assist illuminator. Up on the top of the camera are mode and exposure compensations dials, the shutter release (with a screw thread for a traditional cable release), a programmable function button, built-in flash and hotshoe. The rear of the camera is cleanly laid-out – there's a main-command dial, sub-command scroll wheel and a small selection of other button-based controls that allow quick access to a range of settings.
Fujifilm X10 review – Performance
When you twist the X10's lens from the Off position towards the focal range of the lens, there's only a minimal delay before the camera is ready to shoot with.
Optical viewfinders on most compacts tend to be very tunnel-like, small and dull, leaving you questioning their inclusion in the first place. However the X10's viewfinder deserves its place. It's bright, clear and displays seamlessly with the lens' zoom. It's great for general shooting, but with the 85% coverage offered and minor parallax due to the distance of the viewfinder to the lens, the rear LCD screen may be the way to go when more precise composition is required.
The 2.8in screen may appear to be smaller than some 3in displays, but because the 4:3 ratio matches that of the sensor, the feed fills the frame without any black bars either side. It sits flush to the body, so can't be angled outwards like some of its rivals such as the Canon G12 or Nikon P7100, but the lack of vari-angle screen wasn't really an issue during the test.
We found the Fuji X10's AF system to be very responsive. In single-area AF, focus was fast and precise, and it's also pretty quick to toggle through the 49 AF points that cover all but the parameter of the frame using the rear scroll wheel. The AF tracking is also reliable so long as the subject doesn't move too erratically.

With the aperture ring and shutter speed dial that was seen on the X100 absent on the X10, the latter camera's settings are controlled via the main command dial next to the thumb rest or via the rear scroll wheel. It's not quite the same tactile, engaging experience as using the controls on the X100, but they still do a solid job. However, the X10 does feature an exposure compensation dial similar to the X100. There's a bit more friction on the one found on the X10 to avoid it getting inadvertently knocked when on the move.
Where the shutter speed dial on the X100 would is the X10's mode dial. Along with M, A, S, P modes there's also a dedicated EXR mode – you can let the camera make the call on which EXR mode to select, or you can select whether you want priority to be given to detail, image noise or dynamic range. There's an Advanced mode within which you can select a Sweep Panorama mode, Pro Focus (background softening) or Pro Low-light (clarity of poorly lit subjects is boosted). There're also a couple of custom settings, video activation and scene modes should you wish.
There's no specific ISO button, but the Function button on the top plate can be set to do this (along with a selection of other settings), while there's also quick access to WB, Drive, Macro and AF point selection. There's also a dedicated Raw button to quickly select or deselect if needed.
Once you've set the X10 up how you want, there'll only be a few times you'll need to explore the main menu, which is clear and concise. Otherwise, all the controls you'll need are easily accessible and logically laid out, making the X10 very quick and easy to use.
Image quality
Fujifilm X10 review – Image quality
Tone and Exposure
The X10 employs a 256-zone metering system, with the choice of either Multi segment, Centre-weighted or spot metering modes.
The multi-segment metering coped well, delivering well-exposed shots under a range of lighting conditions, though there'll be times when you want to ride the easily-accessed exposure compensation dial to really pin-down the exposure.
Even without opting to use D-Range priority in the X10's EXR mode, the results displayed a wide tonal range. If you opt for the JPEG-only EXR mode, you'll notice an improvement in shadow and highlight detail, though that's not to say you can't get a better result with a converted Raw file.
Click here for Fujifilm X10 review sample images gallery
White Balance and Colour
The X10's Auto White Balance delivered pleasing neutral results, but on top of that there's a host of White Balance presets: Fine, Shade, Fluorescent light (Daylight), Fluorescent light (Warm White), Fluorescent light (Cool White), Incandescent light and Underwater. For even more control, there're Custom and Colour temperature options.
There are a collection of Film Simulation modes that mimic the characteristics of Fujifilm's pro stock – expect to find Provia, Astia and Velvia modes, along with a couple of mono modes and a sepia setting too.
Click here for Fujifilm X10 review sample images gallery
Sharpness and Detail
As mentioned previously, the 2/3in sensor is larger than that found among the competition. Performance is very good for a senor of this size – at low ISOs, detail is very impressive. A4 prints aren't a problem, while A3 reproductions are a realistic option.
The 28-112mm lens is sharp throughout the range – vignetting is kept well under control, while there's only a very minor hint of barrel distortion at 28mm.
ISO Quality
The X10 offers a standard ISO range from 100-3200 at 12MP, but can be pushed further to ISO 6400 at 6MP, and 12,800 at 3MP if required.
From ISO 100-800 both JPEG and Raw files deliver very good results. Above that, and as you'd expect, the quality of the image begins to deteriorate. The JPEG files have a bit too much image noise reduction applied, resulting in images that lack detail and look a touch waxy. The Raw files hold up better – image noise is present, but with some post-capture Raw conversion, this can be improved to deliver very useable results.
Click here for Fujifilm X10 review sample images gallery
The X10 comes bundled with Raw file Converter EX powered by Silkypix. This Raw converter software is very comprehensive, allowing plenty of control over your Raw files, giving you the opportunity to get the best from your shots.
As you'd expect compared to an unprocessed Raw file, the JPEG equivalents have had some processing applied to them – colours are more saturated, with sharpening and image noise reduction applied.
As yet, Adobe Camera Raw doesn't support the X10, though we expect this to be corrected with an update soon.
Value & Verdict
Fujifilm X10 review – Value
The X10 launched to market in November 2011 with a price tage of around £499. This put the X10 firmly in the premium end of the advanced compact camera market. At this price the X10 not only found itself competing against other enthusiast-grade compacts but a large number of compact system cameras and even entry-level DSLRs.
Twelve months on and the situation has changed quite considerably. Shop around online and you can easily pick up a brand new X10 from rerputable sellers for around £330 – a saving of £170 on it's initial launch price. At this price the X10 is undoubtedly very good value indeed.
Fujifilm X10 review – Verdict
Just like the X100 before it, the X10 is another lovely premium compact camera from Fujifilm.
The understated, classic design looks the part, while the build-quality can't be faulted. The controls fall to the hand with ease and the inclusion of a useable optical viewfinder makes it a pleasure to shoot with.
Image quality, considering this is a compact camera, is also very good – plenty of detail and (as long as you opt to shoot in Raw at higher ISOs) this pocket beauty is the perfect companion to have with you all the time.
If you're looking for a premium, enthusiast-focused compact then the Fujifllm X10 has to be the pick of the bunch. It's a class act.

My son has been wonderful, pretty much from day one. Everyone comments on what a great temperament he has.
He was a GREAT EATER when we started solids at 6 mos. Ate everything. Now, right at 12 mos, he is a completely different child.
He will eat yogurt and pancakes. That is it. Everything else, he takes one or two bites, tops, and then he starts spitting his food out into his hands and playing with it. Or else he tries to intercept the food en route to his mouth. I can't feed him anything but yogurt and pancakes. I started mixing cereal into the yogurt to get some vitamins in there, but this is obviously still not a balanced diet.
He is nursing 3 times a day, but not really close to his solid food mealtimes.
WHAT CAN I DO? I am losing it. Yesterday, I found myself holding his arms down so I could get ravioli into his mouth, and then trying to hold his hands back so he would swallow it before he stuck his hands in his mouth to pull it back out. So I decided that was silly and I am not doing that anymore. So now he's just not eating anything and I am worried about that now. I don't know what to do.

Most families make special arrangements to get together for Thanksgiving or Christmas. There's a belief that family gatherings are joyous, love-filled events.
Maybe not.
I know one family that pretty much decided that love-filled stuff was a myth. The last such gathering they had, several years ago, left them wondering if their family is somehow abnormal. Since then, though, they've heard of other families with similar problems.
First problem is the weather, most always atrocious that time of year — cold, maybe snowy, probably windy. Still, for many years everybody braved the foul weather and showed up at the ranch.
Always, Grandpa had a bunch of chores saved up for the guys, all involving trudging out in the cold. That year the regular cattle feeding and ice breaking couldn't be done until the flat on the pickup was changed. Grandpa swore that tire had been fine last night, and got upset when nobody believed him.
Inside the house, Grandma had chores saved, too. Some family members decided they'd rather be outside with cranky Grandpa instead of gushy, sweety-acting Grandma. Still, they all pitched in and fixed the leaky faucet and finished making the extra beds.
Everybody had brought food, so dinner was fairly easy to get served. Even the "kids' table" looked nice, though every kid's ambition was to get old enough not to have to eat at that table.
After dinner, the guys all retired to the television and the women were stuck with the messy kitchen and dining room.
Finally, after everything was presentable again the women joined the men, and the conversations began, although Grandpa's hearing had gotten so bad they had to shout in order to be heard over the blasting television. Somebody turned it down, which upset Grandpa.
"I was watching that," he complained.
Nobody replied and, since he was angry anyway, Grandpa turned to his daughter, "How do you like what YOUR president did this time?"
Before he could continue, his daughter decided she'd had enough of his "attitude," and lit into him. When she pointed out Grandpa had bragged about having voted for that president, Grandma jumped in with, "That was before we knew him, really."
The kids, cousins from 8 to 14, knew what was coming and went into another room to play a board game. In less than half an hour angry voices blasted from the game room, and the 8-year old girl ran out crying, "He cheats at every single game." The guilty one, the 14-year old, declared his innocence, of course.
The grownups couldn't get involved because they were in the midst of their own shouting matches. The two sons-in-law put on their heavy coats and went outside. They sat in a Suburban and listened to CDs for at least two hours.
The next morning nobody spoke during breakfast. It seems that time some comments went too far. A few days later one daughter confided to a friend: "I'm no longer going to pretend my family is normal, whatever that is."

The caskets are funny, aren't they? I did a post on them before you came onboard here at MLBlogs. Couldn't believe people would spend money on them, but who knows? And LOL about Abreu's aversion to the right field wall. When he was with the Yankees I used to laugh every time he'd get close. I will miss him though; he fit right in when he arrived from Philly and was a really good #3 hitter. He took a lot of pitches and always knocked in 100 RBIs. A very good pickup for the Angels.
Yeah – the Red Sox had their "caskets" out a while ago – it is definitely for the "ultimate" fan!
Hi Jane and Julia! Yeah, we're apparently a little behind here in Philly. Of course, the Yankees and Red Sox fans just have so many "die"-hard fans compared to us! (yeah, bad pun, it was used in the newspaper article, too)🙂
Jane, so true about Abreu – he can really work the count, but it is always an adventure if he has to go near the wall!
The casket is TOO funny. And they even have the MLB logo on them! OMG. Maybe they'll start branding hybrid cars next…I'd buy that :O)
Now that is what I call a "die hard" fan! Did you know you can also get cremated and have your ashes put in a container of your team? Or you can have the ashes sprinkled on the infleid dirt.
The first assignment for the project is UP!
Hi Jenn – yeah, it's one of those items that makes you realize some people have way more money than they know what to do with – I am not one of them😦
metsmainman – personally I think the urn is the better idea – it's cheaper, and at least people will see it after the funeral. Do they really allow you to be sprinkled on the infield? That would be too cool!

Chicago - The Angus burger is going away, and it may not be the only McDonald's dish on the chopping block.
The world's largest restaurant chain has also considered axing Caesar salads, the McSkillet Burrito, the Southern Style Biscuit and steak bagels, according to a franchisee email obtained by Bloomberg News. While the Angus burger contains as many as 820 calories and costs $4, the culling isn't simply about offering healthier fare and cheaper items. It's an effort by McDonald's Corp. to streamline a menu that has expanded by 70 percent to about 145 items since 2007 - straining kitchen staff, gumming up service and spoiling customers for choice.
"It's gotten to the point where the operation has kind of broken down, and that's all a symptom of the complication of the menu," said Richard Adams, a San Diego-based restaurant franchisee consultant and former McDonald's store owner. "They can't make the food fast enough."
In October, some McDonald's franchisees received an email from a regional representative proposing "core menu changes" based on information from customer complaints.
Teams had been formed to address menu size and understand "what's getting in the way of quality and service," according to the e-mail. Seven menu items were identified for potential removal. So far Fruit & Walnut salads, Chicken Selects and Angus burgers have been eliminated.
"We are constantly adding and removing menu items," Danya Proud, a McDonald's spokeswoman, said in an email. "It's not new for McDonald's. We've been doing it for decades!" She declined to comment on the email.
McDonald's Chief Executive Officer Don Thompson is trying to revive U.S. same-store sales, which dropped 1.2 percent in the first quarter. The picture improved in April, when sales at stores open at least 13 months rose 0.7 percent. McDonald's shares have gained 11 percent in the last 12 months, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has jumped 25 percent.
The shares have recently become less valuable to investors. They're trading at a 16 percent premium to the S&P 500 Index on a price-to-earnings basis. They were trading at a 25 percent premium on April 18, the day before the Oak Brook, Ill.- based company reported that first-quarter net income, at $1.27 billion on $6.61 billion in revenue, was little changed from the previous year.

A Tribute to Trevor – In Pictures
Nope, I'm still not over him leaving yet. Look, it's only been about two weeks. If a close family member moves away, you are not going to get over them for quite a while. So, in one of my last tributes (maybe), we will look at Trevor's career so far…with pictures!
Trevor is going to be officially announced as a Milwaukee Brewer on Saturday.
11 Comments
I love how you wrote "maybe" about this being one of your last tributes.🙂 Hope the pain lessens over time.
I love the Trevor tributes. They make me smile because I know if the day ever comes that AJ leaves the White Sox or when the day comes that he announces his retirement, I'll be doing the exact same thing.
Kaybee, Maybe we here at MLBlogs need to start a support group for you! Hang in there; things will look brighter tomorrow!
It's okay not to be over Trevor, I'm still not over Johnny Demon! Since he didn't go to a rival team, you'll still be able to root for him (until he plays the Padres lol) and always cherish the memories that you have of him. Last summer, when I was lucky enough to go to Fenway Park, I was at an Orioles game so Kevin Millar was playing.
And when he came up, we all gave him a huge standing ovation (I got a little teary eyed but…). So I hope that you'll be able to go to a Brewers vs Padres game and see Trevor, and that you'll be able to give him a standing ovation.
Awesome pictures. I was looking through my baseball cards yesterday and I found Hoffman's rookie card!
JANE, I do still have some Trevor entry ideas, but we'll see if I actually want to use them!
JEN, I know with the way you love AJ, you certainly would! Let's just hope that he sticks with the White Sox for a long while though!
JULIA, thanks for the idea! The biggest obstacle is still ahead…him actually signing with the Brewers!!
ELIZABETH, I really hope I'll be able to go to a game against the Brewers! That would be pretty amazing, and I would cheer for Trevor even if he closes a game against us!
BOB, that is so cool! That was quite a long time ago, huh? Trevor's been in baseball for a long time!
XCICIX, thanks! I love that one too!
Kaybee, great pictures. I actually have some of the pictures in my phone! Wow. you are still not over leaving Trevor? You are a STRONG girl. I love the commitment you have about Trevor. Yeah, I miss him too. And it hurts badly. Same thing for Khalil. I know it's from last year but I'm still upset that he left. It really sucks for both of us to see our favorite players leave San Diego. Hopefully, just hopefully they can come back in 2010!
You really are struggling with this one! Deep breathes and long sighes. If I come across a support group online for Trevor loss syndrome I'll be sure to pass it along. : )
HYUN YOUNG, well, I'm doing OK right now. I mean, it's not like I'm super depressed. But it's still going to be tough to see him in another uniform. I doubt that Khalil will come back, but hopefully Trevor will!!!
TOM, thanks! DEEEEP breaths…yeah, I started a group on Facebook, but if you find something, I'll probably have to join…
Wow, you sure compiled a lot of pictures Kaybee. It is a very nice graphic tribute! I like the pictures of his signature high leg kick.

text: compression is what comes to my mind. If your nipple is compressed during hte feeding, blood isn't circulating. When you are done feeding the baby the blood rushes back into the nipple causing an intense burning sensation. Some moms of tongue tie babies experience this. What does your nipple look like after the feeding? Does it look flattened or like the tip of a brand new lipstick? Or just plain weird in any way other than the tip being white? Another indicator is a white stripe across the nipple right after a feeding. All of those can be caused by a shallow latch. If the latch is the problem you can fix it and the burning will stop. I don't have much experience with raynaulds but here's a link

By Casey Peacock: PNT Staff Writer
A bell rung by Father Idalgo on Sept. 16, 1810, signaled the start of Mexico's fight for independence from Spain. The ensuing battle lasted for 10 years before independence was gained. Today the celebration marking the day is known as Diez y seis de Septiembre
A local event marking that day and celebrating the Hispanic culture will begin at 3 p.m. on Saturday at Lindsey Park. With the emphasis on family, organizers have named the local celebration Dia de Las Familias.
Started 14 years ago, through the Community Services Center, the celebration was originally held on Labor Day weekend for families to get together and celebrate the beginning of the school year. From this it has evolved into the celebration of Mexico's Independence Day, said Dolores Penrod, event volunteer.
"This is a community affair," Penrod said.
For the first time, the Portales Cultural Arts committee is helping with the event. Other members of the community and students from the university will also be helping out, said Penrod.
Special entertainment this year will include a performance by "Soy Mariachi", from Roswell, who will play from 6-8 p.m. A free meal, featuring traditional Mexican food, hot dogs and other items will be served at 5 p.m., said Pilar Moreno, event volunteer. A special memorial will also be held in the evening to honor those members, who helped start the fiesta, and have helped to make a difference in the community, said Moreno.
Portales Area Transit and La Casa Family Health Center will be at the celebration to provide information about the programs that they offer. A petting zoo, horse rides, face painting and piñatas will also be part of the festivities for the public, according to Moreno.
Several local business and people from the community are providing the food and drinks. Raffle tickets will be sold for various prizes donated by the local community and citizens. Musicians and DJ's will also provide additional music, said committee members.
According to Moreno, this type of event is held at different locations in the surrounding area. The Portales event is unique because the committee members do not charge the public for the meal or accept any donations for the meal, said Moreno.
"It is important just to bring the community together. It's a positive thing for the community, and to bring all the cultures together," Moreno said.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — There resides in us a powerful life force which, when challenged, will fight back with unfathomable determination to survive. For the will to go on, even in the face of unspeakable adversity, is our most assertive instinct. That said, those battles waged, even with the most exemplary valor, are ultimately defeated by our mortality. Life, at least in this plane of existence, is of limited duration. We plan, we hope, we dream of a long and fulfilled lifespan, but there are forces that can efface such longings and none of them is more lethal than cancer.
Call it the scourge of our time, but it leaves few lives untouched. The battles to find a cure or, better yet, prevention are ongoing. And to that end, many have lent their energy and resources to hasten the coming of that wondrous day when we can regard cancer like polio, diphtheria, smallpox and other once dreaded diseases, as yet another triumphant victory in our battle for survival.
The world of sports has been strongly impacted by this disease, which has claimed some its most storied warriors. Marshaling legions of fans who share a common love of basketball along with a longing to end the reign of cancer, fundraising efforts such as Coaches Versus Cancer have raised millions of dollars for research and treatment.
Locally, that movement is now in its fifth year, celebrated most recently by the Fifth Annual Sullivan County BCANY Coaches Versus Cancer Classic Basketball Tournament staged this year at Monticello High School on February 16 and at Sullivan County Community College on February 17. Detailed stories about the event's inception and its history, dubbed "Survivor's Manifesto," can be found at www.sportsinsightsny.com [1] in archives from past years.
Originally scheduled for the prior weekend at SCCC but postponed by snow, the two-day high school docket was moved to fit a daylong cavalcade of boys and girls games staged in the famous Pit, Monticello's hallowed gymnasium. More important than the games themselves, which, of course, featured many of Sullivan County's best and most talented athletes, was the event's mission. This year's tourney was dedicated to the memory of two beloved local icons who lost their battles to cancer: former Sullivan County Democrat sports editor Rob Potter and Jack Semo, the father of former Liberty High School Athletic Director Jason Semo. Both will be greatly missed; both touched many lives and changed our world for the better in their tenure among us. Once again, upward of $3,000 was raised for the Catskill Regional Oncology Unit, which has been the benefactor of this event since its inception. A more detailed account of the exact final tally raised and the details of the games can be found at www.sportsinsightsny.com [1].
Here is the skinny on the results: Girls: Eldred (6-9) 40, Liberty (3-12) 28; Tri-Valley (11-5) 68, Sullivan West (3-15) 38; Boys: Fallsburg (11-5) 73, Roscoe (5-11) 59; Sullivan West (11-5) 68, Tri-Valley (11-6) 53; Monticello (8-10) 64, Liberty (3-15) 26.
The Montie jayvee team downed Liberty 74-21. In college play, the Lady Generals defeated Queensborough Community College 73-28, while the SCCC Generals downed Queensborough 99-65.
Basketball sectionals will begin on February 23. The seeding meeting to set up the brackets will be held on February 21. Next week's column will focus on the Sullivan County Indoor Track Championships, slated for February 19, and a preview of the basketball sectionals replete with any early results.

Missing woman found near woodsSeptember 23,2013Missing woman
found near woods
ROCHESTER Vermont State Police say a 22-year-old Rochester woman who was reported missing Friday has been found.
Police say Jenny Kobbs walked out of some woods Sunday morning in Braintree near the place where she was last seen.
Officials say Kobbs was screened by an emergency crew with White River Ambulance but refused further medical treatment. She was taken to a state police barracks for additional screening.
Kobbs was reported missing after leaving her parents home. Police say she was last seen around 1:30 a.m. Friday after talking to a neighbor, but had not been heard from since.
At the time of her disappearance, officials said there were no indications of foul play, but they were concerned she may have had a reaction to a prescribed medication.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...
