I want it
I had it
Discuss in the forums
I bought one a few days ago...Today I returned it and got a Canon Powershot S100 instead. The Sony had good zoomreach, fast response, good movie mode, and was an OK camera. And the Canon is also very fast, (probably about the same speed as the Sony?) The thing it had not was low noise, clean and sharp images..On average prints it´s fine and most people will probably be happy with it since it is a travel zoom and not meant for "pixel-peeping" or very large prints. I printed the studio test shot from both the S100 and the HX20V in 20x30cm and can see no (oronly a VERY small differense..) and on screen/TV viewing it´s fine, just dont zoom in to 100%...But for me the Canon is the better choice, I´m used to quality from DSLR:s and the Sony is a OK compact travel zoom but the canon is...sharper...And a little smaller wich I also prefer.
My short list was HX20/30V, ZS20 and S100 also. These seem to be the best of the GPS-included pocket models. The ZS has good saturation at high ISO, but the HX appears sharper. The S100 is great but less zoom. It's all about trade-offs. I like the size and grip on the HX, custom button, auto/manual HDR, 3 user set-ups, fast AF. They all are valid choices.
Noted is the ever-present overkill in megapixel count. I agree, why 18MP on a 1/2.3 sensor? But pixel sites and image engines are getting better every year. Sensor fabs just aren't making 6,8,10 MP sensors anymore. Even the new 24MP D3200 has succombed, but its IQ is about identical to the 14MP D3100. The old 6MP D40 is noisier than these new models.
18mpx, ouch. Sony will NEVER learn.
I bought this camera a couple of days ago after comparing it with the Panasonic DMC-ZS15 on the dcresource review. The photos from the HX20V there looked better than the ones from the Panasonic... But after using it in real life i´m not so sure anymore... It looks fine on the screen and on A4 prints it´s ok but I´m thinking about returning it..
Ouch, why the 18mp?! Keeping things in perspective might have made for a good camera, are consumers really so fooled into thinking this really measures resolution with such a minuscule sensor? Apparently so!
well, they gotta have to continue to supply the consumers-led-by-the-megapixel-race market, right? i will not spend much time here saying how stupid is an 18mp camera with such a tiny sensor. i would never buy it (unless it had 10mp) and think rx100 is THE compact now.
but being positive about it, i liked the effectiveness of its image stabilisation system at full tele... and for not stopping here, i also liked dpreview using some dcr data to complete this review. and i didn't know dcr was the first review website. interesting to know that.
Just a few years ago people were saying "I would not buy such a tiny sensor if it has more than 5 MP." The reality is that the sensor technology advances also in the area of efficiency when the new pixel density makes it necessary. This sensor may not be as good as it could be, but now there will be an incentive to develop new tech to further improve the output.
Even the RX100 has too much megapixel.
They should stop already at 10mpx at 1/2.3 Ant 12~16mpx on larger1/1.7~1 sensor.
Instead of phisically increasing sensor size, why don´t they cread some kind of marketing gimmick like "super sample 20mpx", with software sharpening + super sampling process like oldschool cheappo chinese interpolated cameras used to do? Would catch some ignorante casual costumers, and appeal to more enthusiast who when read that the camera is not really 20mpx, but only 10mpx, would be pleased.
Oh gosh, every year a "new" camera !!! or a new body with same technologies in past 3-4 years ! Come on consumers get up !!!
For a pocket camera, I'm quite satisfied with my HX30V. Out of the box the color was a bit flat, but that's easily fixed. The review lists a noise reduction adjustment, but I don't see it anywhere on my sample. Perhaps this is on the HX150, not HX10/20/30 series. I think the multi-exposure low light modes are good enough, better than other pocket cams I've used. At higher ISOs, the HX series come pretty close to a few of the 1.7" sensor models (P7x00 comes to mind) .
One commentor noted DPR's sample looked weak compared to DCR's. I might agree. In the jpeg compare page, DPR's HX30 V appears to have a slight right-biased focus. (btw, are the apostrophes ok?)
And yes, publishing the full manual on the web in html only is an insult, Sony.
Anyway, thanks for the good review; there were a few features I was previously unaware of.
Image quality is very limited - size and zoom range cause this. One of the few "superzoomers" with decent iq is (or better was) Panasonics FZ38.
SX260 for small superzoon will beat this crappy 18mpx any day.
yet, i miss my FZ35 quality. Even FZ150 hardly beats it with a much higher price point.
An insignificant compact camera which can not compare even with the 100 years old Canon S95 in the image quality field .. I mean Big time ....after all the main purpose of these toys is to take pictures ...shame
Dpreview, please consider to move down the section "This photo is in 1 album: " to the bottom of the "Sampes" page. So that one should not mouse-wheeling up and down every time to observe specs of the image.
As for the camera tested I would never recommend it. The IQ is just ...
I compared the output from HX20V to the output from its predecessors, HX9V. I saw an increase in the luma noise level, but no increase in definition of the details.
What was exatly the point of raising the pixel density ?
I have a HX9V also. I like it. It gives me great results. I was so happy that I wanted to buy either HX-20V or HX30V. But the user's reports were not uniform in their opinion. I'll keep waiting for the RX100 reports.
The point is that megapixels sell. It is the first number most consumers seem to look at when buying a P&S camera.
Unfortunately this now seems to have crossed the point where the IQ is going down in these cameras as a result - except where they increase the size of the sensor as well (as they did in the RX100).
10th paragraph: "PlayMemories Home is essentially a re-skinned version of Picture Motion Browser, which does it's job pretty well."
That should be "its", not "it's".
I knew a copy editor who would search the document she was working on for every instance of "its" and "it's" just to make sure they were used correctly.
I don't recall finding such errors in the material written by DPR staff.
You HAVE to be kidding. There was a time when I found at least 4 spelling errors in every dpr review within 10 minutes of beginning to read it. I even asked them how that can be, it'd take a poorly paid college student 1 hour to proofread a review that had been woprked on for 8 weeks.
I really have to defend Jeff here.
I emphatically agree with GeorgeZ. DPReview gets better and better in this regard. Remember the good old days when Phil Askey wrote the reviews? :-)
@GeorgeZ, I imagine you have been reading DPR much longer, and more extensively, than I have. Generally I have been impressed with the quality of writing here.
@xpatUSA, I was surprised and fascinated to hear that British English was different in that way, namely in using "it's" to indicate possession, so I did a bit of research. According to the British Council's website, the proper possessive form of "it" is "its".
Are you sure you are right about the British usage?
xpatUSA is incorrect...in Britain it's = it is and therefore makes no sense in this context.
There seems to be quality control issues between the two (?) cameras used in this review.
Jeff's sample that he used for Bay area shots doesn't really seem that bad. You can see some of the noise reduction issues mentioned in the article, but honestly, the pics are pretty decent. However, when you get to page 2 where some of the Dpreview shots were done, you can tell this was from a different sample unit because the images are noticeably worse - to the point of almost looking like watercolor paintings at full size. Jeff's photos are *not* nearly that bad on full inspection.
Either Dpreview got a dud review model or like we unfortunately see far too often these days, Sony has a quality control issue that could mean a range of inconsistent quality in this unit.
Examining the images, I put it down to different treatment of low and high-contrast detail. If you look at Jeff's picture of the cats, which is a perfect example of a low-contrast but very detailed test subject, you'll see precisely the same 'painted' appearance at 100% as you've noticed in some of our test shots.
Yes. But unfortunately only the Canon Powershot SX240, SX260 and also the Fujifilm Finepix 770EXR when the later is used in Raw. The jpeg output is ok but not splendid.
Having already had a look at many full size images before these tests began to drop in.
Pentax Optio VS20 are also trash like this HX20V at full size and so are the Olympus SZ-31 MR iHS.
The first full-size samples from Samsung WB850 is not promising either with smudging going on.
Ricoh CX6 is merely ok. Default NR could be lower and can be set to Off. I'm just not sure how much it helps to pull out the details. CX4 have lower default NR than CX5 and CX6.
dpreview no longer do group comparison like last year?
waterproof and superzoom group test would be nice
It's something I really want to do, but we may simply not be able to given how much other kit we have to cover this summer. I am going to try though. A roundup of travel zoom and super zoom cameras is definitely in the plan for 2012, but in Photokina years best lais plans can often go awry.
best laid plans. Long day....
i always thought your charming way with words was wasted in a single forum, Mr Till. Being this offensive and ignorant of the facts is a skill you need to share with as wide an audience as possible. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?!
I agree completely - more please, Paul! You gave me a laugh over my morning coffee.
cough saturday cough
Back in the day you could be interested in a camera, do a search on the WWW and come up with a review on drpreview.
These days you only seem to review cameras that interest yourselves.
Just looking at the Fuji reviews, or lack of should I say.
HS30 No review
F770EXR No review
XS1 No review
HS20 No review
X10 Only took 9 months to bring that one to us.
F550EXR You say there is a review but have you actually read what you wrote?
Very poor showing if you ask me.
horrible jpeg artifacts or noise even at iso100....
Does Dpreview actually review any cameras anymore or just bases them off other sites????

@snapshot09 - in answer to your question, take a look at this page - the majority of content on which was produced in-house:
We're using external contributors (like Jeff) to cover products that we would not ordinarily be able to cover ourselves. As you'll see from the large number of reviews and previews that our staff writers have posted so far this year, we're still keeping pretty busy...
1/2.3 sensor...with 18 mp ? sigh...thats like putting an 18inch sports rim on a 1.1 liter car and thinks it will perform better.
In a big technology store the display compacts cameras had a card behind them and at the top all alone was the megapixel number. It is probably the only bit about the camera most people think they understand. Just count yourself lucky that you know that you should go for the one with the lowest number. The people who buy this camera are not really going to notice any problem so I doubt if it really does any harm. The Sony forum will soon be billing and cooing over each others' pictures taken with this camera in perfect contentment.
All the camera makers are more or less complicit in the promotion of more pixels every year. Sony's $650 RX100, which is supposed to be a compact for "sophisticates," has 20 MP on a 1" sensor, though 10MP would have been quite enough. Why does the 5DMiii have more pixels than the Mii?

Hi NFLRUSHers! My name is Jake, and I will be writing a column called "4th and Goal With..." featuring my interviews with guys from around the NFL. My first installment is with Todd Fritz, executive producer and one of the "Danettes" from The Dan Patrick Show.
1. I know you are a Broncos fan, so how do you think the Broncos will do with Peyton Manning as their starting Quarterback?
I think Denver should be good enough to win the West, but not by a wide margin. I can see them winning at least one playoff game, but I'm not ready to send them to New Orleans just yet.
2. What team do you think will surprise us the most this year?
I think the Redskins, Chiefs, and Panthers may be among the teams who can surprise us this season.
3. Who do you think will win MVP this year?
Many candidates, but being a biased Broncos fan, I'm going to go with Peyton (although Cam Newton was another thought).
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for my next interview, with Rich Eisen of NFL Network!

Koenigsegg Group AB, a consortium of investors which counts the Swedish super-car manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB among its members, has moved a step closer to buying Saab from General Motors.
The two groups have signed a stock purchase agreement for the sale of Saab Automotive AB and the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of this year, provided that the Swedish government provides certain guarantees and support. Saab will continue to work closely with General Motors via licences and service agreements, as its existing products and the new models it has in the pipeline were developed under GM and use GM parts and technologies.
GM ownership has provided Saab, one of the smaller mainstream manufacturers in global terms, with a certain degree of protection against the harsh competitive forces that prevail in the motor industry - but at the expense of diluting the Saab's previously distinctive identity somewhat. Provided the numbers can be made to stack up, Koenigsegg, a nimble, engineering-led Swedish outfit, could just be the right owner to restore Saab's particularly quirky brand of magic.Reuse content

my.sewingroom meditations
I was talking to Barb, my caregiver, the other evening, and out of the blue she says she hears joy in my voice. Joy? Now that's something I haven't heard in a long time! Do I really have joy in my voice again? Could that little 4 legged ball of fur have anything to do with it? Indy sure has made me laugh these past few weeks. As he is settling in and beginning to explore his new home, he no longer wants me to hold him all the time. He now likes playtime and is hilarious the way he finds his toys and tosses them about. If I get them away from him and throw them, he runs after them, grabs them, and then runs thru the house with them. It is so funny, because he looks to see if I'm chasing him.
He's gotten better when I leave the house too. One day while channel surfing, discovered he liked Mickey Mouse! He stopped in his tracks when he heard Mickey and just sat there and started watching. So now I put Disney channel on when I'm leaving and he doesn't carry on as I'm walking out the door anymore. But he's always at the door when I get home and showering me with kisses and more than ready to go outside. Speaking of going outside...
Indy comes and paws at my arm when he needs to go out. When he is adamant about going out, he can paw quite insistently. I have abrasions on my arm to prove it!! The problem is when he gets outside, Indy looses focus and forgets why he wanted to go outside in the first place!!!! Yes, folks my puppy is a little busy body. Every little noise or movement he must investigate. Next thing I find myself at the back door because he wants to go back in the house. Yet he still hasn't done his business!! Lately when we go back in, he has not gotten his treat and has found himself attached to the doorknob with a couple pee pee pads close at hand. At the moment, this morning he is not a happy camper!!!
We also have playtime first thing in the morning just before getting out of bed. He sleeps on his own pillow...remember the pillowcases in my gallery? The night before he likes to unmake my bed for me. While I'm straightening one side, he will unmake the other side! I just have to laugh at him! Last night he actually crawled under all the blankets and got himself caught. It was so funny watching him try to get out from under!! By this time tears are rolling down my face from laughing so hard! This morning he comes over and jumps on me for his belly rubs. Then he grabs one of his toys and is ready for a game of fetch. Oh, forgot to tell you, he sleeps with his toys. Indy doesn't settle down until he goes thru the house looking for all his toys and has them at the foot of the bed.
He's taking a morning nap and I see he brought in his lamb to nap with. Awwww! Guess I better get my breakfast so I have energy to play fetch when he wakes up!! Yes, that little 4 legged ball of fur had brought joy back into my life. Think I'll keep him around a while.
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11
Linda furbabies are the best for bringing a smile to our face and love to our hearts. Indy is a sweetie.
Furbabies do bring a lot of joy into our lives.
He sure is cute!
How sweet and such a nice companion. Like the Thomas the Train quilt in the background.
linda, your blogs are really hard to read on this background. your puppy is a cutie

Poison and Her SistersMature
In the beginning, they'd call her Madame D'Aubigne, Danae after that, then 'my love', and soon they'd simply call, lips roaring, throats silent- their arms imitating dancers across a stage of curling flesh, grasping and tearing at their owners' eyes to see, to watch! And she would, till the last futile stroke left their bodies exhausted. That this act of love; and that of death could be so linked, so similar, as her first (an accident!) had taught her- It consumed the Madame, and all who came near, it swam in her veins as theirs, like electricity, ice; like poison.

Prison Escapee Will Represent Himself
A convicted murderer who escaped from a Michigan prison will represent himself at trial on escape, carjacking and kidnapping charges.
Ionia County Judge David Hoort granted Michael Elliot's request during a court hearing Tuesday. A trial date wasn't set. Attorney Randy Norton will serve as stand-by counsel.
Elliot was captured Feb. 3 in LaPorte County, Indiana. It was a day after he escaped from a prison in Ionia, 35 miles east of Grand Rapids.
The 41-year-old Elliot is serving a no-parole life sentence for first-degree murder in the fatal shootings of four people in Gladwin County in 1993.

By IVES GALARCEP
Tiny Club Tijuana made history last year by winning the Mexican League title in surprising fashion, but their accomplishment on Tuesday evening in Brazil may be just as impressive.
The Xolos beat Brazilian side Palmeiras, 2-1, in the second leg of their Copa Libertadores Round of 16 series, booking a place in the quarterfinals in the process. The victory was just the fourth by a Mexican club in Brazil in the history of the competition.
U.S. Men's National Team members Joe Corona and Edgar Castillo both started for Club Tijuana in a match attended by U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The German boss was treated to an impressive performance by the Xolos in what was a contentious and very physical affair that saw a dozen cards issued and countless hard fouls.
Corona played a part in the opening goal, starting the passing sequence in the penalty area that culminated in a Duvier Riascos shot that was spilled by Palmeiras goalkeeper Bruno for the opening goal.
The Xolos took control in the second half when Fernando Arce belted a volley from the top of the penalty arc to make the score 2-0, and leave Palmeiras needing three goals to survive.
The Brazilians could only manage a penalty before bowing out of the competition.
Club Tijuana will next face top seed Atletico Mineiro, led by Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho, in a two-leg quarterfinal to be played later in the month. That series will force Corona and Castillo to miss the upcoming U.S. Men's National Team camp, but considering Klinsmann was in Sao Paulo for Tuesday's match, it is safe to say their standing with the national team is secure.
Here are the match highlights:
What did you think of the match? Impressed with Club Tijuana's ability to come away with a result in a hostile environment? Hoping Corona and Castillo play a role in this summer's World Cup qualifiers?
Share your thoughts below.
Great result for Tijuana and Americans Joe Corona and Edgar Castillo. Hopefully they'll get more playing time with the Nats.
Congrats to the Xolos and especially our guys for playing key roles in such big games. This is invaluable experience they are gaining which is going to make our pool much, much deeper and our Nats program much better for it.
Not to start or feed the hype monster but with all these young guys coming on in Europe, Mexico and MLS – are we headed to our Golden age team by the 2018 cycle? Many of these guys are young and much can change but the potential is exciting.
It's not a sport of individuals, it's a team sport. Over the years, we've seen certain talented South American and European teams become perennial underachievers, not because of a lack of talent, but because of a lack of cohesiveness.
You can contrast with Spain, where if you aren't
playing for Madrid or Barcelonaplaying in La Liga, it can really hamper your chances at routinely playing for the national team. I strongly believe this is the reason why Fabregas cut a rug for Barcelona so quickly and why Torres (along with his precipitous drop in form) was on the outside looking in, even after wrapping up his last season at `Pool.
Team cohesiveness is much more important than individual talent, especially in a game with 11 players on a side. The continued growth of MLS will ultimately decide the answer to your question.
John McGeachy
MLS will never reach the level necessary until they adopt a Promotion and Relegation system. Simply no motivation to progress past a certain point, except to enrich the corporate owners.
I fail to see how Pro/Relegation really plays a part in developing talent, especially when top MLS players head to Europe (where they have Pro/Rel) as soon as they can.
Transfers for a bigger pay day and to play on better sides makes a difference. With a deeper Nats pool call-ups seem like pretty good motivation as well. Heck, decent win bonuses can make a difference too.
If Promotion/Relegation was the guaranteeing force for footie supremacy then the SPL is sure as heck doing it wrong.
Just because you say something untrue doesn't make it true. Soccer is played on a field. It is not played in an anglophile/eurosnob fan's mind. Pro/rel has nothing to do with competition.
These are professionals who are playing for their jobs every time they step on a practice field. Have you seen the roster turnover from a last place finish in MLS? It's about the same as the roster turnover from a relegated team. How is that not motivational?
Furthermore, pro/rel doesn't guarantee competition. Look at Spain (La Liga) and Scotland (SPL). On the other hand, you have Germany, whose financial structure is far more similar to MLS than La Liga. Celtic is no longer competitive in Europe because it doesn't play enough competitive games. The SPL is now Celtic and a bunch of losers who won't ever have comparable financial resources. Similarly, Real Madrid and Barcelona will start to decline not due to lack of talent, but due to lack of sharpness since they aren't playing suitable competition week in and week out. They both beat every other team 4-0 or some such lopsided score, and that's on the road! How is that suitable competition? It's two teams and a bunch of losers who are going bankrupt because of the lack of revenue sharing.
Now, those flaws in those dying leagues have about as much to do with pro/rel as the on-field competition; nothing.
Agreed, Leo.
But let me be clear, I didn't intent to indicate that Golden age (by which I really meant Golden Generation) necessitates success, especially not at the level of Spain. Lots of teams had their Golden Generations – Portugal and The Netherlands come to mind – and didn't succeed at the level of Spain. By Golden Generation I am specifically referencing individual talent and ultimately team depth. Doesn't mean we're gonna win the WC or anything but we'll have the deepest group of individual talent that we have seen at any point in time. So deep that making a sub – for tactical reasons or injury – puts the fear in the opposition that who just came on is as good as or even better than who just left.
I see your point.
To be a little more clear, I still think that the key to our "Golden Generation" is development at the U-17 to U-20 level. My opinion: the transition from youth soccer to professional needs to be improved, and I think that it needs to happen here in the United States. I think that American youth, be they Latino, born in Germany or otherwise, should be hungry to play here and want to come here to play. Obviously, we're a long way from that. But the progress that's been made in MLS since I saw the Miami Fusion play at Lockhart Stadium all those years ago is stunning, if you look at it objectively.
I hope that a continuation of this momentum and the changes being made in the youth development system will lead to massive popularity in the sport here. For our "Golden Generation" to come about, children (and the parents raising them) need to talk about MLS teams with the same sort of passion and reverence that's been reserved for NFL, NBA and MLB teams. Our children have to want to eat, breathe and sleep this sport. They have to want to live this sport – as professionals.
When this day comes, so will our Golden Generation.
Thanks for the interesting, original comment, by the way.

I thought Castillo at left back played a very impressive match. He was cool with the ball under pressure and started several important breakouts.
Does anybody have the dates of the next round?
According to espnfc, May 22/29 with Xolos hosting the first leg.
A game between Xolos and Real Garcilaso of Peru would be great since they both share the same storyline. They both won the title in their first year in 1st Division and now are making a great run in their first Libertadores competition.
Almost the same storyline, Garcilaso is a year or two younger than Xolos, but Garcilaso finished 2nd in its tournament Descentralizado in Peru.. but both stories are amazing.. there should be a lot more on Garcilaso worldwide since they're doing good things too.. I'm a Xolos fan from TJ.. 🙂
Huge win. Great experience for those guys. Nice quick reactions and vision by Joe Benny on the first hi goal sequence
What a howler on that first goal! Keeper wont sleep well after that one. The second by Arce was struck superbly. Lots of movement on that ball. Good job Xolos.
About as bad a keeper mistake as you'll ever see
Go easy now, is so Atletico Mineiro!!!
¡Vamos Xolos!
Wonder if there were any big bets on this game. That first goal was suspicious!!
Diablo que remate de Arce!
What a strike on that second goal by Xolos!!!!
Ives! Copa Libertadores coverage is back! Thank you, kind sir!

According to DJ, "They come in [here] so broken…These are girls who've been abused and objectified their whole lives." The film illustrates how many of the young women achieve salvation through joining an elite band of volunteers tasked with battling forest fires, building hiking trails in remote areas and assisting during natural disasters. The volunteers have to survive several weeks of rigorous training, be in peak physical condition and have to learn how to work as a team, often in life-threatening situations. DJ says that he developed the volunteer force "because I wanted to change the way these girls see themselves. To feel strong. To see other people respecting their strength."In the words of Cuba Gooding Jr., "These women fought to save lives. They ended up saving their own."

The ghost returned
In the following days, I had tried talking to my mother about what had happened, but my words were muddled. I could barely put a sentence together. My inablilty to express myself only amplified the utter lonliness that night's terror had force-fed me with a cold, dirty spoon. My mother simply placed a warm hand on my cheek.
'It's alright, sweetie. We all have nightmares; they can't hurt you.'
Six days passed, and by the time my ability to articulate returned to me, I had shyed away from her softly patronising look. A teenager can only take so much dejection before giving up. I even started doubting it myself. But, the possibility of it having just been a nightmare didn't releive the horror I still felt, that cold hand that squeezes your heart and drags it down in to your stomach.
That cold hand. The cold hand returned to me on the seventh night. My mother kissed me on the cheek as I lay in bed. My father hovered at the bedroom door.
'Come on, Sarah, he's got school tomorrow,' he said.
My mother gave my hand a squeeze, and moved to the door. Dad stood aside to let her pass, gave a momentary glance in my direction, the flicked the light off and closed the door.
I had expected to lay awake for more endless, fear-soaked hours until exhaustion finally took over, but the moment my father's shadow disappeared from the line of light beneath the door, they came. The moonlight that had streamed through the window dulled, muted by a grey mist. Three orbs of bone drifted toward me from the corner above my bed. Tattered strings of grey flesh hung from jaws peppered with blackened teeth. The jaws opened in a hungry sigh as my own lips parted to scream. It came only as a whisper, and the floating skulls opened their mouths wider as if trying to catch my very breath. I felt my heart thump backwards in my chest, as if it was trying to abandon me through the back of my spine, and a terrifying thought came to me. Whatever it was that allowed me to communicate, to utter a word, to scream, these things were taking it from me... no, they were drinking it! I drew my arm back, then hesitated, frozen with fear. I blinked hard, then forced myself and tried to swat one of the heads from the air. Their eyeless sockets flared red, and teeth bit down on my fingers, bit through my fingers. Hot red pain shot up my arm and spilled down my wrist. I felt a vibration in my chest, and this time my scream came out loud and clear. The skull's eyes flared again descended upon me. Footfalls thudded on the floor, my bedroom door burst open, and flood of tungsten light filled the room.
'What the hell is going on?' my father yelled.
I looked up to where the evil heads had been, but they were gone.
My mother pushed past and ran to the bed where I sat with three of my fingers lying pale and still in an expanding stain of blood. She put her hands on my cheeks, tears running down her own.
'Dear God, what have you done to yourself?'

The tense and intriguing international saga of an 85-year-old Palo Alto grandfather with a heart condition and a top-secret past came to an end late Friday when North Korea released Merrill Newman after 41 days in custody.
"I am very glad to be on my way home," a smiling Newman told reporters after arriving at the airport in Beijing from Pyongyang. "And I appreciate the tolerance the (North Korean) government has given me to be on my way."
Vice President Joe Biden, who was in South Korea to visit a Korean War memorial in Seoul, spoke to Newman and offered him a ride home on Air Force Two. But Newman declined, saying he planned to take a direct flight from Beijing to San Francisco.
"I feel good," Newman told reporters, adding that he was looking forward to reuniting with his wife, Lee, on Saturday. The couple lives in the Channing House retirement complex in Palo Alto, where residents tied yellow ribbons around the front pillars of the building. When his release was announced in the dining hall at dinner time Friday, the residents erupted in applause.
"People in the hallways are saying how glad they are to hear this, and we hope he gets back very soon and very safely," said Bill Blankenburg, a neighbor at the retirement home.
Newman had told his neighbors before his trip that he simply wanted to return as a tourist to North Korea, where he was an Army infantry officer in 1953. His son, Jeffrey Newman, had said that the war had a "profound, powerful impact" on him.
After Newman, a retired corporate finance executive, was first plucked off the plane by North Korean officials on Oct. 26 at the end of his 10-day tour, his wife and son said there must have been a "terrible misunderstanding."
Newman's release came a week after new details emerged about his role during the Korean War secretly training anti-communist guerrillas fighting behind enemy lines. Those revelations also shed light on the videotaped "apology'' that Newman gave his captors Nov. 9, when he purportedly admitted committing crimes during the war as well as "hostile acts'' against the state during last month's visit.
"I'm not surprised,'' said Thaddeus Taylor III, a former U.S. Army intelligence officer said of North Korea's decision to release Newman. "They only had two basic choices: One: let him go. Two: watch him die.''
Taylor, a 68-year-old Bishop resident who had spent time in South Korea in the 1970s, had alerted this newspaper --the first to report that Newman had been detained -- after hearing about Newman's plight.
Taylor said there was "no upside'' for the North Koreans to keep Newman.
Dan Sneider, a North Korea expert at Stanford's Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, agreed.
"Confirmation of his release is great news -- and great news for the family," said Sneider, who lives around the block from Newman. "I think it's evidence of common sense on the part of the North Korean government."
The family did not respond to request for comment late Friday.
Vice President Biden, speaking to reporters in Seoul, called on the North Koreans to also release Kenneth Bae, another U.S. citizen in the North's custody.
Biden said he had no role in Newman's release. But just what deals were made to make it happen, if any, were not immediately known.
"We're not sure what sort of diplomacy was pursued by the Swedes who are representing us there," said Thomas Henriksen, a senior fellow at the Stanford's Hoover Institution and author of "America and the Rogue States."
"We don't know what the United States offered if they offered anything," Henriksen said.
The North Koreans characterized Newman as a mastermind of clandestine operations and accused him of killing civilians during the war.
In his videotaped "confession" released last week, Newman ostensibly accepted responsibility for training a guerrilla group called the Kuwol Partisan Regiment, a unit of rebel North Koreans opposed to the communist regime.
Over the past decade, Newman had traveled to South Korea twice to connect with the former rebel soldiers who had fled to the South after the war. This time, however, he apparently emailed them in advance, saying he was planning a trip to North Korea and asked if he could deliver any messages to relatives there. A copy of the purported email was released by the North Koreans and used as evidence against him of espionage.
Some of his old comrades were waiting at the airport near Seoul on Oct. 27, expecting him to land. They carried bouquets of flowers to welcome his return. He never showed.

Marketers mean business
Final-year students at City University (CityU) applied their knowledge to real-life situations and came up with marketing strategies that were praised by the business sector.
A total of 136 marketing students - divided into 21 teams - provided consultancy services for seven participating companies, including the South China Morning Post, Lee Kum Kee (Hong Kong) and Prudential Assurance.
'The project provided an opportunity for students to apply what they have learned
in their course to real-life situations,' said Zhou Nan, head of marketing at CityU, at a prize-presentation ceremony last week.
'The companies praised our students for their outstanding performance, demonstrating that CityU, through its professional education, has nurtured high-quality students.'
Students said they found the project challenging. 'Applying theory to practice was not as easy as we thought,' said Liu Kam-ping.
'But it has given us a lot of practical experience, enhanced our communication skills, and laid a good foundation for our future career.'
Meanwhile, Kwok Shun-hei, Lee King-lai, Liu Kam-ping, and Tam Hoi-yi, also from CityU's marketing department, received active learner awards.
They have been actively involved in extra-curricular activities, and submitted reports and reflections on academic journals, television and radio programmes and business leader seminars.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 15, 1997, New Braunfels, Texas moan a a6 g Herald-Zeitung g Thursday, May 15,1997 i ...................traitionsPOP TALK: Ringo Starr By George Varga Coplev News Service At 56, Ringo Starr is nearly as single-minded a was 43 years ago in his native Liverpool, when ne was known as about music as he ears a|o Richard Starkey. "When I was 13,1 wily wanted to be a drummer - a musician drummer," recalled the bearded Englishman, who achieved enduring fame as one of the four Beatles. "I did not want to be a banjo player, or a guitar player or play anything else. And that dream is still alive; that's what I do, that's what I want to do. And as the record shows, I do it more now. I had that break from 1970 to 1989, where my whole career went downhill, and so did I. "Now I make records, I'm on tour, I'm doing this, I'm doing that. So I have a new lease on life, and I feel blessed for that. Many of the people in our game didn t quite make it." Including, it nearly transpired, Starr himself. Following The Beatles' breakup in 1969, he launched a solo career that briefly sparked, then sputtered. Starr soon descended into a booze-and-drugs haze that saw him nearly lose his career -and his life. Clean and clear-eyed since 1988, when he entered an Arizona rehabilitation center with his second wife, actress Barbara Bach, he is happily drug- and alcohol-free. He also quit smoking and now adheres to a strict vegetarian diet. I know God has a plan for me, but I don't know what it is," said Starr, speaking from his home in Beverly Hills. "That's Beverly Hills 90270," he added, alluding to the TV show. Then his tone grew more serious. "Whatever you ask," he said, "is all right by meu" In that case, how's his golf game? "I gave up," replied Starr, who now confines his swinging to his drumming. "It took a whole day LEADER OF THE BAND This marks Starr's fourth tour in the past eight years - three more tours than ex-Beatles Paul McCartney or George Harrison have undertaken during the same period. Does this mean Starr finds and drummer-singer Simon Kirke, who played in Free before cofounding the still-active Bad Company. (Former Traffic guitarist-singer Dave Mason, who was featured in ads for the tour, is no longer in the All Starr lineup.) "The only thing that's constant period. Does this mean Starr finds (to play a game), and it was just performing more meaningful than too long. I tried it for a couple of do his former band mates? Ringo Starr - on tour with the All Starr Band "The only thing that's constant ng is me," Starr said. "And Mark is constant from the last band. But this band is all-British, because I put bands together and I try and think of some sort of hook for it. We started with Jack Bruce and years, and then it just faded out. I t lus work out physically, but I also did that when I played golf. Nothing's really replaced it; I don't play football or anything." But he does play music. And since 1989, when he embarked on a tour with his first post-Beaties band, Starr has distinguished himself as the ex-Mop Top who most enjoys performing live - and on record. He has been working on a new studio album "with a small little combo that I'm not going to mention," he said. Then there s "a heavily penciled-in possibility" of making an album with an ad-hoc band, which would team Starr with Don Was, Leon Russell and country music legends Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. Starr is also featured on two songs on Paul McCartney's new album, "Flaming Pie," due out May 27. One of those songs, "Really Love You," marks tne first time he and McCartney have ever shared writing credits. "Paul asked me would I play on 'Beautiful Night.* And tnen we had so much fun, we just started jamming, really. It just happened. We started jamming and he started singing, and it turned into this song. It just sort of, you know, things for me are organic, like the food I eat." And there's more. Starr will also record a live album during his just-launched American tour with the latest edition of his aptly named All Starr Band. The six-man group's U.S. concert trek began in late April. It 'I don't know if it has more meaning to me, as opposed to them," he replied. "It's just that I really enjoy it. I started as a musician, to be up there entertaining people. And I forgot that for a while, and now I'm back doing it. It's what I like." He laughed. "Also, for me as a drummer, it's pretty difficult to go out (on tour) alone," he noted. "Doing 'Yellow Submarine' (with) just me and the drums is not that musical. So I have to put a band together to go out. And I think the main thing is, I really enjoy it. But I don't enjoy it enough to do it 300 days a year, and I don't enjoy it enough to do it every year. So I do it every other year." This year, Stan is doing it with a band that - except for All Starr alum Mark Rivera on saxophone -is all-British. The lineup includes ex-Cream singer-bassist Jack Bruce; former Procol Harum singer-pianist Gary Brooker; fSACNtlliimf Thursday-Friday Jukebox, Shufylcboakd & Pool Saturday, 3 pm-12 pm Coed School Volleyball Challenge DJ * BSQ * PRIZES D J Dane* 8 pm $5 Advance / Id At Door (all day) Sunday "Brett Graham" (» ccm) 625-HALL 295 Saengorhalle Rd., N-B the theme: 'Well, let's make a British band.' It wasn't like I sat there, day and night, wondering: 'What can I do?' They sort of happen organically, the bands I put together." "You know, we try and start with a bass player, who has numbers (songs). That's the most difficult. And, of course, with Jack Bruce we got many numbers. So that's how it happened. There's no great magic to it." Keyboardist-singer Brooker performed on Starr's 1984 album, "Old Wave." Apart from Rivera, he is the only member of the famed drummer's band who had worked with Starr. Kirke replaces Starr's son, Zak, who is touring Europe this summer as the drummer in The Who. "This is a new dimension; we've got a singing drummer," said Starr of Kirke, who will handle vocal duties on Free's 1970 hit, "All Right Now." New dimension? But isn't Starr a singing drummer? "Well, that's right," he said, chuckling. "But I'm looking at the surroundings, not at myself. And also, you see, I found out from the first (All Starr Band) tour that I really enjoy being down at the front (of the stage). So I get the added bonus of playing the drums with all these great musicians, and then going down and being like this frontman." Starr's third All Starr band, which toured in 1995, included Mark Farner, the singer and guitarist in the now reunited Grand Funk Railroad. Commenting on his tenure in Starr's band during a recent interview, Fainer commented: "Everybody respects Ringo so much that, anything he said, we did with no problem. There was never a clash where anybody doubted him. If he said, 'Do it,' we did, and it worked." Asked to respond, Starr said: "Well, (in) all the bands, we have to remember that we support each other, IOO percent, and we're there to entertain the audience. And I won't have any prima donnas in my band." In previous interviews, Starr has made a point of noting that he never practices his drumming -except when he's performing on stage.

After having anchored the world's most famous rock band for most of the 1960s, does the former Beatles drummer find it easy or difficult to make the transition from being a band member to being a band leader?

It's a bit hard to consider buying anything from Samsung right now seeing as how all their products, ranging from phablets to washing machines, seem to explode. That said, the Korean manufacturer promises that its next big thing, namely the Samsung Galaxy S8, will be well worth your while when it launches next year. We're talking about a fresh new smartphone that incorporates a lot of interesting technology, including a dual-edged curved display with almost no bezels. In addition, it sounds like the Samsung Galaxy S8 will also do away with most of the physical buttons and will feature a new wireless charging method that uses three coils instead of the traditional two.
The latest word on the street from South Korea is that Samsung is planning a true fullscreen display for its next flagship, with minuscule bezels on the top and bottom, and curved edges similar to those found on Galaxy Edge models. Needless to say, there isn't a lot of room for a home button on a smartphone designed like that, which is why both the home button and the fingerprint scanner are believed to be incorporated into the actual touchscreen display. Interestingly enough, rumor has it that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will not feature any physical power and volume buttons either, though the new on-screen buttons are still expected to be found on the side.
Having said all that, it seems like the Samsung Galaxy S8 will include at least one physical button. According to new reports from The Wall Street Journal and other reputable sources, the button in question will be used to interact with the new AI assistant developed by Viv Labs Inc, which Samsung acquired back in October. While still unconfirmed, rumor has it that the new personal assistant will be known as Bixby and may end up delaying the Samsung Galaxy S8 for a bit, as the Korean tech giant wants to make sure that it's up to par with similar services like Siri, Cortana, and Google Home. Whether the part about the delay is true or not we cannot say, but Samsung's Executive VP Rhee Injong did confirm this past Sunday that a new AI is definitely coming to the Galaxy S8. though he is still keeping its name under wraps for now.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 was initially pegged for a February 2017 launch but in light of this recent information, it sounds like it might end up being delayed by about two months. According to the WSJ, we should expect the upcoming smartphone to hit the shelves sometime in April of next year. A potential delay would be pretty unfortunate but if Samsung manages to offer all the aforementioned features while also preventing the thing from blowing up, I say the wait will be worth it.

'F*CK HARPER' Sign: Driver Loses Challenge For Ticket
PONOKA, Alta. — A judge in Alberta has convicted a man of stunting after he was pulled over by police for driving his car with a sign with an expletive aimed at former prime minister Stephen Harper.
Robert Wells of Edmonton was driving home from British Columbia when he was pulled over in August 2015 by an RCMP officer near Ponoka, Alta., and told to remove the sign.
He refused, saying it was a political statement and he had a right to have it in his window.
Judge B.D. Rosborough wrote in his ruling that the handmade "F--k Harper'' sign didn't amount to stunting itself, stating that it didn't amount to a dangerous trick or manoeuvre.
Robert Wells was pulled over and told to remove this sign. (Photo: Robert Wells/Facebook)
But Rosborough said he believed testimony that Wells was deliberately slowing down and cutting in front of traffic on Highway 2 so that people would see his sign.
The judge said Wells was interfering with the orderly progress of other vehicles on the highway, which he said met the criteria for stunting.
"Display of a sign in the rear window of a vehicle was hardly a notable or impressive act of skill or daring,'' Wells wrote in his ruling. "Likewise, it could not amount to an exciting or dangerous trick or manoeuvre,'' he continued.
"On the evidence that I do accept, I am satisfied that Wells was intentionally interfering with other traffic in order to advertise his 'anti-Harper' sentiment.''
Freedom of expression
Wells, who represented himself when the case was heard earlier this year, said he knew he had to challenge the ticket because it suppressed his right to freedom of expression.
The Crown argued there are other ways to express oneself and a busy highway is not the right place for such political discourse.
Wells was also pulled over by Edmonton police 15 years ago, after he displayed a bumper sticker with the same expletive aimed at former premier Ralph Klein to protest his government's push for private health care.
He said he wasn't charged because police determined he wasn't doing anything illegal.

UPDATE 3-Mulally to hand over Ford CEO job earlier than expected
* Mulally to leave board as well
* COO job to disappear, Hinrichs remains head of Americas
* Fields had been widely expected to succeed Mulally
* Fields vows to stick to 'One Ford' plan (Adds Mulally comments, updates stock action)
By Ben Klayman
DEARBORN, Mich., May 1 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co on Thursday made official what investors and analysts had been waiting for - Chief Executive Alan Mulally this summer will pass the baton of leadership to Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields, six months earlier than expected.
The 68-year-old Mulally is credited with transforming the No. 2 U.S. automaker from a money-loser to a company that expects to realize a pretax profit of up to $8 billion this year after joining in 2006 from Boeing Co.
Mulally, who was in the running for the top job at Microsoft Corp late last year, did not say what was next for him. Ford's CEO change takes effect on July 1.
The ascension of 53-year-old Fields as the next CEO, which the company's board approved on Wednesday, was expected, but the timing had been unclear. Mulally said the transition was moved up from year-end because he felt the team and Fields were ready. Continued...

(CNSNews.com) - Addressing a question about the pledge issued Thursday by House Republicans that they would repeal Obamacare if they win control of Congress, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said Friday that Democrats "stand by" the health-care law they enacted in March and are "great advocates for" it.
The contrast between Pelosi's declaration that her party stands by Obamacare and the House Republicans' pledge to repeal it may serve to frame the November election as, at least in part, a referendum on what has been President Barack Obama's most significant programmatic achievement since he took office last year.
"House Republicans are pledging to repeal Obamacare if they win control of Congress,"
"Well that is our commitment," said Pelosi.
"I'm not big on these pledges. I think they're a lot of showboat myself. I don't like to take them. I don't like to exact them," she said. "But what the Democrats in the Congress have said is that we have passed legislation to make health care in our country, affordable health care in our country, a right not a privilege. That we are ending discrimination on the basis of pre-existing conditions. That we are ending lifetime limits from coverage that people have. That we are saying to young people: Reach your aspirations. Take your time to do it. You can stay on your parent's policy until you are 26 years old. The list goes on and on. It also includes saving the taxpayer $1.3 trillion according to the Congressional Budget Office.
"So, if that's what they want to take a pledge to do, that's up to them," said Pelosi. "Our members have stated where they are on it. They have voted for it. They stand by it, and they are great advocates for it."

Dehli to Kathmandu was the perfect trip. There are some long journeys involved but other than that very easy and enjoyable. Plan a day for yourself to explore Dehli if you have time before trip as tour leaves Dehli on second day. Also bring some warm clothes for Kathmandu, chilly even in May!

text: I shot my friends Brian's new Scorpyd 165 this morning then fired my Impact. First off; the Scorpyd is a cool looking bow and shoulders well but I found the cheek a little low for my taste... it didn't seem to fit as well as the impact did. Speed: The Scorpyd flat out. Even at 30 yards the velocity difference was easily discernible. Brian said his xbow was achieving 420 fps vs. my 350 with my lighter shafts. Heft/balance: This was another striking difference. The center mass of the Scorpyd made it easier to carry and hold but I noticed that the absence of extra mass up front made the xbow feel a bit less stable. (Again... just my opinion). I imagine after shooting the Scorpyd freehand for several shots one would easily adapt to the variation in weight displacement. I found the Impact more comfortable.... as did Brian and he's shot many arrows through his new xbow. Sound: Again... The Scorpyd amazed me. For all that power and speed it was amazingly quiet. The string dampeners really do their job well. I'm going to have to see if I can retrofit the Lightning's dampeners onto an Impact. The difference was easily noticeable. I've compared many crossbows against my Impact and this one by far was the nicest crossbow I've shot. I still love my Impact and I'll never part with it. But the compactness of the reverse centered limbs and the amazing speed and silence left me amazed. Having said that... I wonder where can one use the extra 70 feet per second... certainly not much of a factor under 40 yards... aren't the 350 fps hunting rules still in effect in many states? The Scorpyd is faster, and quieter than the Darton Impact... there is no denying that fact. but is it worth the $1200 dollar price tag for the speed. As for aesthetics? Well you either like the bullpup Darton's or you don't... most people I encounter who use crossbows here don't... Tenpoint is dominant where I am and all three shops here are authorized Tenpoint dealers. The Scorpyd is sharp looking and eye catching... but what massive cams... WOW!! I liked the stock but not as much as the new Darton Stocks. My Impact finally met its match today... but I still love my Crossbow and would never stop shooting it for anything. Accuracy: A draw... both bolts went exactly where i aimed them... Yay Darton !!!!!!!!!!!
