Recent legislation in Colorado has approved County Clerk and Recorders to begin issuing certificates and licenses for civil unions beginning May 1, 2013.
As of 3:00 p.m., October 6, 2014, the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder's Office will begin accepting marriage applications and issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
A civil union license can be obtained by visiting the Clerk and Recorder's office at any of our three locations after 8 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Both parties must be present (see below for information on how to apply if both parties cannot be present), and provide valid identification:
Acceptable ID includes:
Unacceptable ID includes:
Be sure to fill out this form completely and click "Submit" at the end of the form to proceed. Once the online form is completed, the parties must finalize their application by visiting any of the following Clerk and Recorder's office locations and presenting valid identification.Apply online
Please note: The Loveland and Estes Park locations serve as Motor Vehicle branch offices. Applying for a civil union license at these offices may mean longer wait times, especially on the first and last days of any month.
Our offices are located at:
Clerk and Recorder's Office
Citizen Information Center
200 West Oak Street
Fort Collins, CO 80521
Hours: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Clerk and Recorder's Office
205 E 6th Street, 1st Floor
Loveland, CO 80537
Hours: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Estes Park, CO 80517
Hours: 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Phone: (970) 498-7860
Email: email@example.com
Prior to your ceremony, both parties must come to our office to complete and sign the license application. If one of the parties cannot appear in person, he or she must complete a civil union license absentee affidavit and sign it before a notary public, and include a copy of the non-appearing applicant's identification, before it can be accepted in our office. You do not have to be a Colorado resident to apply for a civil union license.
If either party has been married or party to a civil union previously, we require the date, place and type of court where the divorce/dissolution took place. Widows/widowers need to supply the date and place of death of their former spouse/partner. You will also need to provide the name of your previous spouse/partner.
A couple is prohibited from entering into a civil union when one of the parties is still married, or party to a civil union, with another person. Divorces/Dissolutions must be final. Civil unions are also prohibited between ancestor and descendant, brother and sister, uncle and niece, or aunt and nephew, whether the relationship is by half or whole blood. A civil union between cousins is permitted in the State of Colorado.
Age Requirement
Civil unions are prohibited for anyone under the age of 18. If you are over the age of 18, and under legal guardianship, written consent of your guardian(s) must be obtained prior to the issuance of a civil union license. A signed and notarized Consent form must be submitted at the time of application.
Civil Union License Application Process
You may obtain a license at any one of the locations listed above during business hours. The cost of license is $30.00 and must be used within 35 days of issuance.
Civil union licenses issued in the State of Colorado cannot be used in any other state or country. Couples themselves may certify their own civil union (C.R.S. 14-15-112). Others who can certify a civil union are judges, retired judges, magistrates, Indian tribe officials and clergy. Although the couple may certify their own civil union, that does not mean a friend or relative can sign as an officiant on a civil union certificate. Clergy or judges from out-of-state need not be registered in Colorado.
The person certifying the civil union shall complete the civil union certificate and return it to the County Clerk & Recorder within sixty-three days after the ceremony. Any person who fails to return the civil union certificate to the County Clerk and Recorder's office shall be required to pay a $20 late fee and an additional five dollar late fee may be assessed for each additional day of failure to comply up to a maximum of $50.
Be sure the certificate is filled out entirely, including county, date of civil union, physical location of ceremony, the officiant signature, the officiant's title, and the signature of parties.
Witnesses are not required in the State of Colorado. If you choose to have a witness, there are no restrictions on the age of your witnesses. Feel free to have children sign!
Once the license has been returned to the Clerk and Recorder's office, it will be recorded and imaged by our Fort Collins office. The original license will be retained for 7-10 days for the recording process to be complete. If you haven't received your civil union license back from us within a month after it has been recorded with our office, please call (970) 498-7860 to inquire.
You may obtain a certified copy of the license immediately upon its return to the Fort Collins office or within 3 days after the license is returned to one of our satellite offices. To obtain certified copies of your civil union license/certificate or application, please use the following procedures:

As featured on the Huffington Post:
The life we know hasn't changed much since December 27 of 2010. Murky smog still poisons the air I breathe in Los Angeles. A snapshot of the New York skyline taken today will match that taken last year. The streets of Vegas remain depraved and Capitol Hill remains democratic. This year, in this country, things have changed; but they have done so incrementally.
If the previous paragraph leaves you unconvinced, I ask that you put on a lens not of objectivity, but of relativity. Our country has changed only marginally. In Libya, a year's change is far from marginal – it's palpable: its cities look physically different than they did a year ago and its society has pushed through an iron grip – and feels more free. People who live in Egypt can feel the change just as forcefully: new rules govern individuals – but even those rules are actively shifting and evolving. The Tunisians and the Yemenis drove away their longtime presidents. The Syrians Bahrainis were unsuccessful in ousting their leaders, but brought to the forefront issues of rights for women and for Shia – issues that had been buried. Beyond the Western World, change is immense.
This was the year of shattered norms; of shifting variables; of fractured precedents. This was the year in which we – Americans – watched as they – million of others – decided to swiftly and continually forget everything they had been taught. This was the year the world collapsed into itself.
TIME magazine columnist Joel Stein dubbed 2011 "The Year of the Meltdown," asserting that we've had no choice but to "idly watch things completely fall apart." Indeed, we've borne witness to changes that have seemed unnatural and arbitrary: massive readjustments of economic structures, sociological organizations, and individual and communal systems of thought. They have appeared often to be precipitated by anomalies, like a merchant who set himself ablaze, a reporter kidnapped, or an Egyptian woman beaten unjustifiably. The shifts we've seen this year make us question the basis on which they have happened; they have seemed somewhat random and erratic. Why now? Why these changes? Why these people?
But the language of change is a universal one. From all angles, in all perspectives, there is an explanation for this year of global collapse and far-reaching transformation.
Those who speak the language of faith – who seek answers to the unanswerable through mechanisms of religion and belief – need look no further than the Book of Job, in which the author elucidates that idea of random destruction and seemingly groundless change in the first chapter. "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return," explains the book's narrator. Cycles are a critical component of a pious life – and with them comes the faithful acknowledgement that, even ostensibly randomly, "the Lord gives and the Lord (takes) away."
For many, an explanation that is based in religious doctrine equates to no explanation at all. Those who speak the language of science or "reason" – who understand the world as a series of systems and rules – will identify with a pervasive biological concept. In wildlife, a cataclysmic event causes destruction of biotic factors in a given area, leaving only a bare substrate. In layman's terms, it literally wipes away all of the life somewhere and leaves a blank slate. Nature, too, works in cycles. The earth gives and takes. Change is built into the natural world.
A third, more simple and demonstrable explanation comes from my great-grandmother, who, by my father's account, was a content woman. She repeated and repeated one particular adage. "If you don't like the weather,"she would say, "just wait a minute."
Change, we understand, just happens. It is destructive by nature; it has to be, in order to make way for something new or better. But what – I pose to the faithful, the academic, and the elderly – happens next?
When the Lord takes away, the Lord gives again; when a cataclysm leaves a bare substrate, pioneer species begin to settle and grow; when clouds finish raining, they make way for the sun.
Norms can be constructive; precedents are neutral. A process that been tested does, indeed, have a place in this world. There are good politicians just as there are helpful and useful laws. But right now, we have a few fleeting, precarious, and promising moments in which our era is nothing more than wet, quickly-drying concrete.
Let us usher out the year that crushed the world's conventions; let us welcome the year in which we rebuild them. Let this be the year in which we – American observers of the sweeping changes – embrace our responsibility within our country, to ensure that we can do the work of reinvigorating outside of our country.
We, too, are at a crossroads: let this be the year in which we elect leaders who are interested not in gridlock, but in governing; interested not in exercising vicious imperialism, but in lending a voice to the Shia of Bahrain, the women of Yemen, and still-silent people across the ocean.
Let us elect leaders who will fund programs that send American volunteers to rebuild Tripoli; who will send diplomatic workers to negotiate for the rights whose absence brought on the Arab Spring; who will create domestic dialogue programs so that young Americans of varying faiths learn to understand one another.
The moment is volatile and we are still free. After this year of meltdown, let this be the one of responsibility.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2012 (1753 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In retrospect, we should have suspected it was all too neat and tidy.
A touchdown run by Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Chris Garrett before a sellout crowd on the final play -- supposedly ever -- at Canad Inns Stadium in last November's East Final put an exclamation point on a frigid 19-3 Winnipeg victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, sent Winnipeg to the Grey Cup and provided a storybook finish to a stadium that was, for better and worse, an icon in this city for over 50 years.
It was a little piece of Winnipeg history all nicely tied up in a pretty bow for us all to seemingly admire for generations to come. Until it wasn't.
Because, jump ahead 50 weeks to this afternoon and we're going to play out the whole "Final Game" charade again, only this time the fairy tale ending is a horror story, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have seemingly never been further from the Grey Cup and that capacity crowd from last year would fit nicely, probably with room to spare, in one grandstand this afternoon.
From heroes to zeros, the Bombers have fallen further and faster than that guy who jumped from outer space last month.
"I heard the new marketing phrase is: 'Last Time at Canad Inns -- This Time We're Serious,'" offensive tackle Glenn January laughed Friday following the last-ever practice at the Polo Park stadium.
And why not laugh -- the Bombers' season has been a joke and the Bombers organization has been a laughingstock and the only thing left to do is turn out the lights on a stadium that's the only thing in Winnipeg more broken down than Buck Pierce.
They say closure is essential in the recovery process after a traumatic event and there's not much doubt Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans were traumatized by their team this season. And so in that sense, perhaps the closure fans will obtain today -- on the 2012 season, on the stadium, on an entire era in this city's sporting history -- is coming at an ideal moment.
If the Bombers hit rock bottom this season -- on the field and in the front office -- than there is only one way to go from here. And January, for one, says he sees today's game -- coming as it does just 48 hours after the club announced head coach Tim Burke and general manager Joe Mack will return in 2013 -- as not so much the end of an era, but rather the beginning of one.
"Now that we have a future in place and we know we've got some continuity, we're not viewing this as the last game of this year, we're viewing it as the first game of next year. This is an opportunity for us to start something and end on a high note," said January.
"We owe it to ourselves. We owe it to the fans. And we owe it to the coaching staff and upper management to go out there and get a win."
A win today would actually cost the Bombers the first overall pick in next year's CFL draft because it would vault them over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and into seventh place overall in the final regular-season standings. But the mood in this organization this week is that they will gladly trade one place in the entry draft for the modicum of self-respect that would be earned from grinding out a win over the Montreal Alouettes this afternoon.
This is a team, after all, that has all too often failed over the last season-and-a-half to answer in games that called for a display of heart and character, most recently in a must-win game last weekend in Hamilton in which they mustered the grand total of 18 points against a Ticats defence that promptly gave up 43 points to a third-string quarterback in Toronto on Thursday in a must-win game of their own.
A win today certainly wouldn't provide the fairy tale finish of last year's East Final. But in some ways it would be an even more fitting send-off for the old stadium -- ugly, deeply flawed and very, very gritty.

nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - link5s camera has the same sensor size and f number as GS4 camera, and 120fps video has already included with gs3 (480p120 - gs4 and note3 has 720p120)
So everything pretty boring, and apple still locks down any manual control whatever. The 2-led flash is quite innovative though. Reply
Brian Klug - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkSamsung and all the other IMX135 integrators marched down the pixel pitch scale though to 1.1µm, which as we've shown does make some fairly large tradeoffs. Also high framerate 480p has been around for a while on phones, it just always looks fairly terrible.

nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI doubt that lowering MP count with the same sensor size results in any cleaner image, if downsampled to the same resolution. I will wait to see the actual comparison shows up. Reply
revimack - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkApple is maintaining MP count while increasing sensor size, not lowering it. Same MP count + larger capture area = cleaner image. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkThink of it. What's the difference between big one pixel and small two pixel downsampled into one? Reply
HaydenOscar - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkThe difference? The difference is obviously visible, just look at low light comparison photos between the One and the GS4/Note 2. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkOne has quite lousy low light performance and very bad dr at base iso. Reply
Krysto - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkYes, in low-light it helps. But Apple doesn't even use OIS to help with that. And at 13MP, the GS4 has much more detail in good lighting. Reply
akdj - Friday, September 13, 2013 - link"And at 13MP, the GS4 has much more detail in good lighting."
Also known as noise---13MP on a smaller sensor introduces more 'noise'. Even the iPhone 5's camera trumps the G4 (I own both). Low Light, daylight, tungsten or fluorescent---doesn't matter. I really wish Samsung would quit with the increase in megapixels and concentrate on both the pixel size (it's like a bucket to collect light---the bigger the bucket, the more light captured) and sensor size. Both make significant improvements to still capture than more megapixels. APS-C sensors on DSLRs are locked in and around 14-18 megapixels precisely BECAUSE of this phenomenon. And those are 30-40 times the size (the sensor) than our smart phones. HTC did an incredible job with the '1'. It looks as though Apple has made some excellent refinements to the 5s as well.
Megapixel wars have been over for a while now. Thanks for the excellent review. Reply

darwinosx - Monday, September 23, 2013 - linkWhat makes dp review definitive,,,,nothing. The general consensus is that the S 4 camera hardware and the now year old iPhone 5 camera are equal while the software on the now year old iPhone 5 is better. Even more so now with iOS 7. Interesting that you refuse to include the iPhone 5 s in your comments. Agenda? Reply
Impulses - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkSony's 24MP APS-C sensor is in a few Nikons etc... Nevermind their Alphas and higher end NEX, so I wouldn't say APS-C has been deliberately locked in at 14-18MP, unless by APS-C you really meant Canon. Reply
runner50783 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI respecfuly disagree with you, http://connect.dpreview.com/post/0586582857/samsun... in most side by side comparisons you can see a clear advantage on the GS4, specially in the detail levels.
I own a GS4 and my brother a iPhone 5, the GS4 takes better pictures in most cases... Reply

ZozPrime - Friday, October 04, 2013 - linkTotally agree with everything you said.
I'm really into photography, I have the iPhone 5 & the S4, honestly I'm pretty disappointed with the S4 photo quality & colour accuracy, lets not even get into low light, I've played around with my brothers 5S, very nice pics (for a phone) doesn't beat my 7D but for what it is, i like it.
Pretty sick of hearing people fight about silly stuff tho, I love my S4, but lets be clear, the camera is not the selling point or its key feature & it far from the best smart phone camera. Reply
akdj - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI wanted to post another quote---from another review, from another professional photographer that again---is in complete contrast to your opinion
"people take pictures with the iPhone than any other camera. And a while back the iPhone became the number one camera on the photo sharing site Flickr and it has never lost its crown. Despite the proliferation of point-and-shoot cameras with impressive technology and ever-cheaper DSLRs, the smartphone is and will probably remain the primary camera for a lot of people.
Unfortunately, cameras from many other phone companies like Samsung and Motorola simply don't match up to the quality of images coming out of the iPhone. I've tried many, many different Android devices over the years which promised better images but none have delivered. The only real smartphone contender in the camera space is Nokia, which is doing some great stuff with the Lumia line. But where Nokia is pushing the pixel-count boundaries with the 41 megapixel Lumia 1020, Apple has chosen to go in a different direction.
Before I launch into the stuff that I found interesting about the new camera's technology, a bit of background. I'm a reformed professional photographer that has shot just about every kind of camera from film to digital, professional and pocket. Weddings, portraits, landscape, wildlife, sports, industrial, you name it. I've processed film and prints by hand and machine and have taught photography as well. I don't know everything photographic there is to know, far from it, but I've been around a bit.
Over the last few years, the iPhone has really become my go-to camera. The DSLRs have sat on the shelf and even a compact Panasonic 4/3 camera only comes out infrequently. This means that when Apple introduces a new device I'm all ears when it comes to what they say about its camera.
The iPhone 5S is no exception, and there is some pretty great stuff here." Reply

OMG, please stop with this BS! Not only is iPhone's camera OK at best, it offers nothing regards to manual settings, and DSLRs and 4/3s take a back seat to it?! It is obvious from all your posts that you are full of it. It is the most popular Flickr choice?! Wow, that is some top quality camera argument if I ever saw one. Reply
CadentOrange - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkhttp://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/digital...
A bigger pixel has a bigger photon capacity, and thus will have better dynamic range and noise characteristics. This is not news to any serious photographer or engineer, as alluded to in this Anandtech article. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkCheck the iq between 16mp d4 and 36mp d800. D800 has wider dr and quite comparable noise, at least up to 12800. Reply
JMS3072 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkPlease tell me you're joking. The Nikon D800 has a sensor area that's more than 50 times the size of any smartphone. It has 4.8µm pixels, for crying out loud! Reply
andy o - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkActually, when this debate was all the rage back when Canon introduced the 5D, which was compared to the 20D, the engineers (electrical, optical) were most, if not all, on the side of "sensor size, not pixel size" is what makes the difference. The photographers were mostly on the pixel size bandwagon, but that's misleading cause it's only true when you look at the images at 100% (1:1) on a screen. But when you down/up sample to same size, the noise differences all but disappear, like nerd1 alluded. Reply
andy o - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkAlso, re: photon capacity. If the microlenses are doing their job 2 pixels will collect the same amount of photons as 1 pixel when they occupy the same area. Reply
akdj - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkThey can't 'occupy the same area'. Pixels are separated---they aren't joined together, there is 'dead space' between them. Hence a deeper, 'bigger' pixel will pick up more light than two smaller pixels 'occupying the same area'. Again---take a look at larger APS-C and Full Frame cameras and how they've recently (over the past 5 or 6 years) locked in to a pretty standard 15-18 mpxls (APS-C) and 22-24 (Full Frame with the exception of Nikon's flagship).
Keep in mind, when we're watching our glorious 1080p televisions---we're looking at 2 megapixels;)
Bigger, deeper photons and larger sensors is where better photographs originate. Not more megapixels (when we're talking this small of a sensor), especially in darker situations. Though even in perfect 100 ISO daylight scenarios---high megapixels counts can and DO allot for a ton of noise even in the blue sky! A couple companies are getting this right. A couple aren't. Reply
andy o - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkExcept that's what microlenses are for. And I don't know how much marketing it is, but Canon is making gapless sensors now. And when you actually compare the raw output and resample to have same image size (physical) the noise differences disappear. Reply
lilo777 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - link"Bigger, deeper photons and larger sensors is where better photographs originate. " if this was that simple, one pixel sensor would be the best :-) Also, HTC One camera would work better than the one in iPhone 5 and SGS4. All reviews found that it was not the case. Obviously, there is a real trade-off between pixel size and pixel count. With equal sensor size, this trade off is not a trivial matter therefore one can't say that iPhone 5S' camera is better than SGS 4's camera simply based on pixel size. Obviously SGS4 will perform better in well lit conditions. Reply
kylewat - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkPretty sure the HTC One camera rocks. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - link"larger APS-C and Full Frame cameras and how they've recently (over the past 5 or 6 years) locked in to a pretty standard 15-18 mpxls (APS-C) and 22-24 (Full Frame with the exception of Nikon's flagship)."
No they are not. Newer crop of APS-C cameras are 24MP range, and recent 16MP 4/3 shows some exceptional ISO performance, matching previous gen FF cameras. They are DIFFRACTION limited, not noise-limited. Reply
chaosbloodterfly - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkYou have losses on pixel borders I think; that and some quantum mechanics stuff regarding countable photons at really low light.
Doesn't mean it doesn't work, just that it doesn't work perfectly (and nothing does). For example, the Nokia *I forget name* phones do this. Reply
chaosbloodterfly - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkOh and you run into wierd wavelength effects too I think, considering green is about 0.5 uM. My physics on this is a little rusty. Reply
DERSS - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkNot only smaller pixels capture less light, the sensor's blind area because of interpixel structures is relatively much bigger. Even with backslide illumination such blind areas can go very significant. Reply
WaltFrench - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkThere would be a slight degradation because each pixel has a fixed overhead of connection circuitry, so a two half-sized pixels aren't quite 50% of the original's area. We'd need somebody who understands the current BSI technology to comment as this may no longer be a big issue. But I think it is.
Otherwise, yes, a smart algorithm should be able to make a good tradeoff, possibly better, between better detail that you might want in a well-lit crop, versus averaging in a low-light setting.
"Should" being the operative word. It seems there's a huge variation in approaches here; some approaches may fail badly in some circumstances even if they're better in most. Besides the hardware, there's a software arms race here. Reply
kylewat - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkYou've got to take some quantum physics. At the smallest level, photons act like waves and particles. When you are dealing with things at the wavelength level you start introducing noise. I would say whats the difference between 1 big pixel and 4 smaller pixels. If you have to split the energy from say 6 photons, you can easily do that on the 1 big pixel but the 4 smaller pixels can't get them all; and they all might even only register 1 photon each (losing 2 photons) because they were treated as noise by the ISP. This is just my guess on how it all would work.
Anyway, I hated quantum physics. I have no idea if what I'm writing makes sense, but I do think it is nonsense to think that two downsampled pixels would equal one large pixel. And intuitively, my reasoning is at the smallest level there are quantum mechanical issues. At larger pixels I assume the best thing you can do is just improve the optics. Reduce noise introduced by the lens system etc. Reply
ajcarroll - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkthere is a difference, if the smaller pixels have less than half the information. Remeber difference colors are at difference frequencies. red has a lower frequence than green or blue. lower frequencies means longer wave lengths, and a very red, red had a wavelength around 700nm.... so if your pixel is less than approx 1400nm, it's less than 2x the wavelength of the deepest color you're trying to detect.... 1100nm is simply not going to reproduce color with the same fidelity Reply
joelypolly - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkYou forget that there is still electronics between the pixels and its not just a gapless design. Microlenses, defraction are all things that need to be compared. Reply
Midwayman - Tuesday, September 17, 2013 - linkYou're talking about 4 pixels down sampled to 1 normally, but you lose area to wiring, etc every time you sub devide an area. 4 pixels isn't the same as one larger one with 4x the area. Reply
chaosbloodterfly - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI think he means relative to other smartphone cameras, not the 4S. Reply
Yazz_ - Monday, September 16, 2013 - linkI've had 4MP camera's nearly a decade ago that took far better pictures then a lot of the more recent 12-20+MP. Resolution means almost nothing for picture quality, it's mostly how good of a censer and lenses you have. Still have that old Kodak digital camera around someplace, first camera I ever saw with Bluetooth. P.S. - if you need a visual image of what I mean by quality, think to the "snow" image affect you can see in solid colors when you look up real close. Even multi-thousand dollor DSLR's have difficulty reducing those artifacts in low lighting conditions.
Sorry to turn this into a rant, but the current resolution is pretty high, and we're constantly syncing backups to the cloud, unless you notice a tiny insect by chance after you've taken a photo and you want to zoom in and see if there's a visible smile on it's face, you don't really have much to gain at all to gain from increasing the resolution beyond what the 4S already has. Reply
Krysto - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkSo far I've noticed quite some large diferences between 8MP cameras and 13MP in terms of detail. I think between 8MP and 20 MP (Xperia Z1), 13MP is probably the sweet spot for a lot more detail than the 8MP one, and without being much slower (20MP+).
Also Apple's take on picking the best picture from 10 others, is very stupid. It will drain battery faster than it should if it takes 10 pictures all the time. Using OIS to take the more steady/better picture would've been much better, along with other low-light advantages that OIS has. Reply
akdj - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkYou don't have to shoot in burst mode. You still have a single shot option. It's definitely not 'stupid' (the burst mode---it's actually extremely intelligent). In fact...it's extremely ignorant for you to consider this type of engineering 'stupid' in any sort of discussion. It's by far and away one of the hardest and challenging types of engineering considering the spatial limitations inside of a 'phone'. Reply
Impulses - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkShooting a quick burst and picking the best one is pretty logical, other phones have been doing it for quite a while (HTC's been doing it since last gen) and even pros with real cameras will fire quick bursts during a shoot to then pick the best one... How's it a battery drain if you can turn it off and the stream is probably going thru the processor at all times anyway... Now, automatically combining them in a pseudo always on HDR mode would be a different story and that would probably take a bit of a battery penalty as it's processed. Reply
Krysto - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI'm very skeptical about the 2-led flash - at least Apple's implementation of it. To me some of those demo pictures looked like they had the colors very off. They might've been "richer" or whatever, compared to normal flash, but still looked very off to me. We'll see
But yeah the 120fps is something other phones can do too. G2 could've done that too, but for whatever reason they picked 1080p@60fps instead - only. Reply
akdj - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkAre you an actual photographer? After now my third response to your comments, I'm beginning to A) Doubt the condition of your display/monitor on your computer...>B) Doubting your understanding of photography, period...and C) why in the WORLD you're injecting doubt into an extremely well written review by an ACTUAL photographer???
Do you have some sort of objective here or a goal of some type?
The iPhones have traditionally had excellent cameras for some time now---and continuous updates, upgrades to their subsystems, sensors, and the processing have been welcome. Hard to read your silly comments that completely go against what a professional photographer has concluded.
Don't worry---if you bought an S4, you've got a decent camera. It's OK for others to have good ones too! In fact---as far as online posting of pics; Facebook, Twitter, Flikr----they're all dominated by iPhones as the #1, 2 and 3 'most used' cameras for shots taken. Hard to argue with that...not to mention the now iPhone-ography events, studios and....well, you get the point. They've taken on a life of their own and absolutely devastating the sales of compact point and shoot cams. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkLet me know when iPhone allows me to do exposure compensation, let alone setting ISO and color temperature. Lomo is also popular and may take impressive pictures but it never makes a good camera. Reply
heishin - Monday, September 23, 2013 - linkcamera+? EV compensation. WB could be locked, but not set, yet you could use that option to achieve the desired effect if you know how. Won't let you set ISO though. Again not see it as a problem as camera will always try to use the lowest ISO for given conditions. IMO your point is moot, not everyone need these options on point and shoot camera, they slow you down. And if you are really need and use them then most likely you shooting in RAW, and that's a whole other territory. Reply
The Saint - Friday, September 13, 2013 - link"Shorter focal length has generally been a tradeoff for a while to decrease the z-height of the module further, and you see a lot of smartphone vendors hovering around 28mm or slightly lower, which is relatively wide. Marketing will then turn around and market the wider angle like it's some positive thing, which is hilarious. Apple has thus far been steadfast at staying around 30mm, but there's no denying that the 5S will indeed be a bit wider angle than the 5 in practice. Ideally I'd love to have a smartphone module with around a 35mm focal length in 35mm equivalent numbers."
35mm is a very narrow field of view for a modern point-and-shoot, particularly on a smartphone. A substantial portion of the pictures taken with smartphones are going to be of people indoors in close quarters, where a wider angle is immensely helpful. If a smartphone I was interested in had a 35mm equivalent, I'd actually be very disappointed. Reply
trane - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkAbsolutely agree. 35mm is far too limiting. This is where Nokia got it spot on with the Lumia 1020 - 25mm is the sweet spot for detailed wide shots. Of course, you can zoom in to cut down the field of view, but there's no way you can get a wider image on a longer lens like 35mm.
Also, the important thing about the "bigger pixel size = better picture" spiel is that it comes with a huge caveat - only if the sensor technology is identical. The best example in the professional world is Arri Alexa versus Sony F65. Despite 3x smaller pixels, the F65 produces usable pictures at ISO 6400 with 14 stops of dynamic range while the Alexa struggles at ISO 1600. The other thing is with higher resolution, the relative noise is much more organic. Which is why the Lumia 1020's 5MP oversampled pictures look stunning at high ISO, despite a lower pixel pitch. In short, bigger pixels is not always better. The important thing is to hit the sweet spot between sensor size, pixel pitch and sensor tech. Reply
trane - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkHaving said all of that, at the ~1/3" sensor size, 1.5um and 8 MP is quite possibly the sweet spot given today's tech. Reply
Krysto - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI disagree. Lower resolution gives brighter photos in low-light, but 13MP gives significantly more details, from what I've noticed, and I think 13MP with OIS > 8MP with no OIS for low-light, while being much better in good lighting conditions in terms of image quality.
So it may have been the "right trade-off" for Apple this time around, since 13MP without OIS would've been too bad in low-light for them, but overall it's not the best choice. 13MP with good OIS is the sweet spot between image quality and good low-light performance. Reply
Krysto - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkThat being said, I look forward to next year's 1/2.3" sensors, with same 13MP resolution and OIS. 20MP like in the Xperia Z1 is too much, and requires too much processing.
But if Samsung doesn't go with 1/2.3" sensor next year and OIS, they're dumb. I expect HTC to go with 8MP and 1/2.3" so they're still able to promote the "ultrapixels" thing, so it will be interesting to see how they compete, if they both have that sensor but with different resolutions. Reply
trane - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkAh, if you add OIS to the mix then I completely agree. Unfortunately there's simply no way to put OIS in such a compact frame. Maybe next year with a ~4.8 inch iPhone 6. Reply
akdj - Friday, September 13, 2013 - link"I disagree. Lower resolution gives brighter photos in low-light"
????? What are you talking about???
K---I give up. Reply
extide - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkWith the same sized sensor, lower resolution = bigger pixels = less noise/more light collected. Pretty simple... Reply
quickbunnie - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI think the point that Brian has been trying to make is that the detail you get from a 13MP image is not the right usage model for a smartphone camera. Instead, he would prefer improving on other components if possible, such as low light performance, which given the normal usage of a smartphone, is more important than getting a certain amount of detail.
Also, I feel that you incorrectly assume that in bright lighting the S/N is comparable between an 1.5 um and 1.1 um pixels and the remaining difference is purely resolution. Even the 1.5 um pixels are showing plenty of noise here: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-6452_7-57602212/apple... Smaller pixels will do worse, particularly when you're looking for the type of details that a 13 MP sensor will show over an 8MP sensor. With the right software, you could manually increase the exposure to compensate, but parts of your image would start blowing out and motion blur begins to creep in more obviously.
I do think that OIS is a fantastic advancement for smartphone cameras, and you're likely correct that 13 MP + OIS > 8MP. However, I think that an 1.5 um 8MP + OIS is > 1.1 um 13MP + OIS.
Anyways, I'm not an expert, just trying to make interpretations as I understand them. Reply
Krysto - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkYes, but in that case I mentioned 1/2.3" sensors, which is what I think more manufacturers are likely to use it next year - Samsung especially, and I think HTC, too, since they have no choice if they want to keep the "ultrapixels" thing, while fixing the high noise they've gotten in their daylight pictures with the One camera.
So we'll see which is better then, but while 1.5 um 8MP + OIS is > 1.1 um 13MP + OIS, it's possible the better trade-off is still 13MP + OIS when you have a larger 1/2.3" sensor, since then you can make the "standard" resolution a higher one, and it's likely the difference in detail will remain bigger than the difference in low-light performance. Reply
quickbunnie - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkYou're correct that once you upgrade to a larger sensor size, the trade-off sweet spot between resolution and pixel size may be different. We won't really know until we see real photos, though, but I think everyone can agree that bigger sensors is a good thing (whether you want higher resolution or bigger pixels). Reply
CadentOrange - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkIt depends on who they're trying to aim the camera at. That's the biggest dilemma when designing a camera with a fixed focal length lens.
35mm is the favourite of many notable photographers, e.g. Henri Cartier-Bresson. Casual cameras tend to start from 28mm so I guess that's what many will be familiar with, but it's a pretty terrible focal length. It's not long enough nor is it wide enough for anything particularly interesting. And to be honest, most people could move to 35mm and not notice the difference. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkCasual camera used to start from 35mm or 38mm years ago. People crazed wide angle so much so that now most camera start from 28mm or less.
Phone cameras have basically no dof control so wider is always better. You can simply crop afterwards. Reply
prashaantt - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkCartier-Bresson actually used the 50mm, probably until his dying day. I guess your confusion was because of the rough 50mm-equivalent of around 35mm for modern, cropped DSLR sensors. Reply
evonitzer - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkYeah, a lot of people like the 50mm lenses (on film) for the natural appearance. Super wide lenses are a relatively new obsession. For the distances of typical cell phone snaps, shorter lenses make sense, but it makes any landscape a bit ridiculous. Ah compromises. Guess I'll have to carry a 'real' camera after all. Reply
djboxbaba - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkGreat article Brian, as always :) Reply
RunAroundInCircles - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkAgreed. Brian, I would love to hear your take on the Xperia Z1 although we know very little about it at this point. I am excited about simply for the fact that it has the largest sensor on an android phone yet. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkFunny fact is that current Z1 sample shows extremely terrible IQ even at the base ISO.
It is really puzzling, considering that Z1 uses the exactly same sensor used for sony point-and-shoot cameras, which are known for generally good IQ even with high ISOs. Reply
Krysto - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI don't know what Sony keeps doing, but they keep making worse cameras, with their same sensors that others are using, too. What gives? My guess is they're keeping the same bad camera software employees around. Reply
dollystereo - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkGood article.
Thank's for sharing.(I miss this level of articles in Gizmodo) Reply
Yeoman1000 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI like that the 5S (and ofc the HTC one) are going the way of quality over quantity. But, a dumb question if I may. The 5S and HTC one share the same sensor size? But, looking at the micrometer size of each pixel. Apple has 8m x 1.5, and HTC has 4m x 2, resulting in arbitrary, totally nonsense values of 12 vs 8. But shouldn't these be the same if there sensor size is the same ( I believe they're both 1/3)?
And considering the HTC One has more depth to it than the 5S, in theory, couldn't it accommodate a larger sensor too assuming the chassis stayed for another generation ofc? Any knowledgeable individual feel free to educate me :) Reply
AngelOfTheAbyss - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkYou should think in terms of surface area, i.e. 8M x 1.5 x 1.5 vs 4M x 2 x 2. Reply
Yeoman1000 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkAh, that does make sense. Still a slight discrepancy though? Makes it 18 vs 16. Do the sensors have different aspect ratios, or are they slightly different sizes, despite being 'classed' as 1/3" ? Reply
AngelOfTheAbyss - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkThe aspect ratios are 4:3 on the 5S and 16:9 on the HTC One. Reply
Yeoman1000 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkRoger that. Thanks for the info. :) Reply
Krysto - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkSo then why is Brian saying that "it finally shows everything" in the frame?! Reply
RYF - Sunday, September 15, 2013 - linkThe display aspect ratio of iPhone 5S and most of the high end Android Phones is 16:9. Google default camera app view finder is cropping the top and bottom of the 4:3 of the image to fill the entire 16:9 display. It looks nice at the view finder, i.e. no black letter box at the left and right, but we will have difficulties in framing the picture.
To fit a 4:3 image in a 16:9 display, we will have to leave it with letter box at the left and right of the display. That is what Brian is referring to.
However, for HTC One, the sensor has maximum resolution, 4 MP, at 16:9. So this is not an issue. Reply
Krysto - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkSony has already shown it's possible to put a 1/2.3" sensor in a 8.5mm body, without a bump, so I'd expect such a sensor from the next Galaxy S and HTC One flagships (at least if they are smart enough to do that). I doubt Apple would move that quickly to 1/2.3", though, even with the 2014 iPhone, especially if they want to keep sub-8mm thickness. Reply
Yeoman1000 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkIt would be nice to see HTC (or anybody) providing a few more megapixels whilst maintaining or slightly increasing the 2.0um pixel size, I suppose 4MP is quite small, compared to say just 5MP. I suppose the extra physical size of the image can probably make the camera somewhat more versatile or useful (more opportunity to crop for example).
I remember thinking the curvy rear of the Moto X (at about 10.5mm thickest, 5.6 thinnest?) might do well to hide a large sensor, whilst giving the impression of a relatively svelte device. Reply
Krysto - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkIf my math is correct, then a 1/2.3" sensor for the next HTC One should allow for an 8MP camera while keeping roughly ~2um pixels. So this really is the ideal move for HTC. If they don't do that, then they're doing it wrong. Reply
RunAroundInCircles - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkI have always thought this. That curved body seems like the ideal opportunity for a big sensor. I do hope this happens down the road. I love the HTC and all of the choices they made, but unfortunately 4MP for me is just too small. I think I will try the approach of Z1 even though they have increased the size of the phone too much IMO. I'm fine with a thick phone especially the way HTC have done it, just not pleased with a tall and wide design. Reply
MarcLeFou - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI'd be interested to see a comparison on the camera on the Lumia 1020 with the same type of analysis. Actually, a comparison of the best cameras on each platform with this amount of detail would be a great article to see. Reply
MarcLeFou - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkAnd even against a cheap point and shoot and an average DSLR would be even better! Reply
ananduser - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkThere's literally no comparison; the 1020 is king. The iphone 8mpx camera was already good enough. A slight sensor increase and a wider aperture will only marginally improve pictures in low light scenarios and that's about it. Noticeable results in smartphone cameras happen with incredibly innovative approaches, you know like Nokia's truly remarkable 1020.
A while ago a GSMArena shootout established the 4s as having the best camera, on par with the S2(the 4s a slight advantage on stills and the S2 on video). The 5s and the S4 respectively, barely improve on those past performances. Reply
darkcrayon - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkNokia's "truly remarkable" 1020 with the camera lump that makes it a 1/2 inch thick... I think that has something to do with it. I'm sure you can always get better results by physically distorting the body of the phone until it fits the component. Reply
evonitzer - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkWelcome to real life where there are compromises. Many folks find the bump (10.4mm actually) to be acceptable, given the spectacular photos. But fine if you disagree! Get the new Motorola Droid Ultra, which is the thinnest phone available and has a mediocre camera. Success? Reply
Krysto - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkActually S4's camera is very close to 1020 in good lighting. And 1020 is not that great in low-light (better than S4, though, since it doesn't focus at all on low-light).
1020 is really overhyped in terms of quality. It will be beaten soon enough, and without such large resolutions and sensors. Its real advantage is in the zoom, Sony has gotten close to that, too with the Z1.
Plus, taking pictures is really slow with 1020, and that's a real disadvantage for normal people. We were just getting "zero shutter lag" and such cameras and phones, and now comes Nokia and puts us back in the early 2000's with low shutter speeds, where you wait 2 seconds for a photo to be taken and processed? Reply
ananduser - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkDepends. It's slower when you take 2 pictures at once. It's faster, normal, while taking only the 5mpx image. Anyway, the 1020 is definitely NOT overhyped. It's 5mpx result is literally the best, containing the "distilled" info of the entire 41mpx sensor.
What you omit is that the camera on the 1020 gives you manual, fine grained access to all of the parameters of the camera. Everything on the iphone and the galaxy and whatnot is automatic; 0 control from the user. You will always get a better picture on the 1020 by virtue of simply controlling exposure time, ISO, changing the focus, etc. You'll be able to create cool effects(like bokeh and others) with the 1020 and never with the iphone.

michaelljones - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI concur. Brian should write an article about all things camera phone and compare and contrast the different top end phones cameras. He alludes to each here, but the focus on the iPhone (while appropriate for the moment of course), sadly doesn't give the necessary context to see the iPhone 5S vs. the Nokia 1020 vs. pick you 2 favorite Android phones (maybe HTC and a galaxy?).
I like in depth analysis, but I also want in depth comparo's please! Reply
evonitzer - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkNot affiliated with the site, but dpreview has good comparisons between the desired phones. I'm sure Brian will also do an analysis, but it might be a while!
Dear Brian. Not a complaint. I love your thorough reviews and wouldn't ask you to change. But there are other sites that are pretty good too. Reply
darwinosx - Monday, September 23, 2013 - linkMeanwhile in the real world the Nokia camera is a gimmick because nobody buys that phone. Reply
aliasfox - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkI think it's probably fair to say that the 5s doesn't introduce a whole lot in the way of new hardware, and that most of the improvements have to do with optimizing the software as much as possible. The sensor size and lens are relatively minor and incremental improvements that are nothing close to truly stepping up to a 1/2.3" or 1/1.2" like some of its competitors. One could even argue that the dual LED flash is more software than hardware - having algorithms that quickly process color temperature and setting the flashes to compensate.
That said, it would be nice to see this software on an improved camera platform next time around. A 1/2.3" sensor with OIS, best shot functionality, and white-balancing flash would completely bury the budget point and shoot market. Aside from zoom, they'd offer little to nothing in the way of improvements. An Elph's F3.5-5.9 lens may be sharper, but losing out on 1+ stops even at the wide end means potentially ruining the shot with a higher ISO... Reply
Impulses - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkCamera manufacturers sandbagged the P&S market even worse than Intel handled budget mobile with Atom... There's no reason that the current $350-500 advanced compacts shouldn't be the norm (and significantly cheaper) rather than the one exception in each manufacturer's lineup these days. Something like an SD110 or LF1 still crushes any phone (with 5-7x zooms starting at 24-28mm and f/2.0, plus RAW capture etc).
Instead each manufacturer has maybe one of those in their lineup, possibly two (one pocketable and one not, e.g. SD110 + G15, LX7 + LF1, etc), and like twenty different budget P&S with very little differentiation other than the ever longer travel zooms at the top... And they wonder why the P&S isn't selling when they've been pushing zoom and MP rather than the better cameras they could (and have) build. Occasionally you get some sorta long overdue innovation like the RX100 and it takes the rest of the field years to offer something comparable (meanwhile Sony gets to happily charge $750 for it).

Impulses - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkBlah, meant S110 obviously, not SD110. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkOne correction - with $350 you can buy a m4/3 camera with kit lens. P&S cameras really stand no chance nowadays. Reply
Impulses - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkI agree that a lot of older M43 models can be a great value (as can a ton of old/used DSLRs), but none of those stand a chance of fitting in a pant's pocket, even with the smallest of M43 pancake lenses. I can't be the only person in the world that doesn't mind having a phone in one pocket and a camera in another... I'm actually about to get myself a M4/3 btw, but I still think there's a place for pocket P&S, camera manufacturers have just been marketing the wrong aspects and pumping out too many crap models while pricing advanced models too high (i.e. $350+, my point from the start, they should have only one or two budget models and what we know today as advanced compacts should be cheaper and more varied). Any M4/3 kit lens would start at f/3.5 as well too, tho obviously on a much larger sensor it's a different matter. Reply
Krysto - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkI wonder which OEM will come up first with the idea to use a triple-LED to capture the range of colors much better and more accurately, much like we have the combination of RGB to cover the full spectrum of colors. I imagine such a triple-led would help take pictures with much more accurate colors when the flash is used. Reply

It will be a improved version of that particular sensor with F/2 OIS lens without optical zoom ofcourse. Expect better led flash and 4K video recording as well. Atleast that's the plan of Samsung which can always change at the last moment. But this combo looks quite likely to appear on Galaxy S5 in first half of 2014.. Reply

THE MAN severely burned in a fire at his flat, which also left one woman dead, has regained consciousness today.
The 25-year-old man, believed to be Sam Vaughan, was taken to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol suffering from burns and the effects of smoke inhalation after the fire in Thorley Court, Abbey Meads on Monday morning.
The man remains in intensive care at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, but his condition is now described as stable.
Meanwhile, a post mortem examination on the 32-year-old woman was conducted by a Home Office pathologist at Flax Bourton near Bristol yesterday.
But the cause of death will not be known until a number of toxicology tests have been completed.
Formal identification of the woman is expected later today.
At this early stage in the investigation police are treating the woman's death as unexplained.
Det Insp Matt Davey of the Brunel Major Crime Investigation Team said: "The exact circumstances of how this fire started are yet to be established and we will obviously be speaking to the man who is in hospital as part of our investigation.
"Clearly, his welfare takes priority and I will be guided by his doctors to let me know when this will be possible."
The police tape has been removed from outside the flats at Thorley Court, Abbey Meads but police are maintaining a presence until the front doors damaged during the evacuation of residents have been repaired and made secure. This is likely to be concluded during the afternoon.
Anyone who has information, or was in the area of Thorley Court between the hours of 10.30pm on Sunday 18 November and 2.30am on Monday is asked to contact Wiltshire Police via 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Sweden's Hidden Treasures
Kanye West
When it comes to fashion, Kanye West has always enjoyed pushing limits. In April, he wore a silk blouse from Celine's spring 2011 women's collection onstage at Coachella. Then last month he showed up looking very 1% at the Occupy Wall Street protests in a $355 Givenchy plaid shirt and some Balmain jeans. But this week, during the Watch the Throne tour, Kanye took perhaps his greatest style risk by performing at Madison Square Garden in a leather Givenchy skirt from the spring-summer 2012 men's collection. Hemline watchers, take note: It was above the knee.
Marc Jacobs
In 2008, Marc Jacobs took a bow at his collections wearing a plaid Comme des Garçons skort. "It's not really a kilt," Jacobs explained to New York magazine at the time. "It's kind of like a kilt and a short. ... I discovered how nice it felt to wear. They're comfortable, and wearing it made me happy, so I bought more. And now I just can't stop wearing them." Indeed, Jacobs even wore a skirt to jury duty in 2010 and is usually spotted around New York City in something below the knee. But this year the designer admitted that he has tired of kilts. As he told Racked.com in September: "I wear now mostly Prada pencil skirts."

There can be a lot of money to be made long-term from becoming a buy to let landlord.
But buying a property for invest-ment purposes is very different from buying a home to live in, and there are a number of hazards to avoid.
If you are thinking of investing in property and then putting it on the rental market, these top 10 tips from the National Association of Estate Agents will steer you on to the right path…
1. Do some research – Buy to let can be a legal, practical and financial minefield, and you will need to do your homework. Research the market, ideally with the help of your local NAEA estate and lettings agents, who will be able to advise on demand and any other issues in the area you are considering.
2 Know the demand – Buying where there is no rental demand can be fatal to a buy to let investor, yet it is a surprisingly common mistake. Make sure you are not investing in a market which is already saturated with the sort of property you have to offer, and do not be misled by stories of fast profits.
3. Understand your finances – Keep in mind whether you are in the market for capital gain when you sell or simply monthly rental income. This will help you decide what to buy and where, and what kind of mortgage you need.
4. Buy carefully – Make sure you buy a property which allows for sufficient profit margin. Do not go for a 'bargain' property which may turn into a money pit very quickly. Major repairs require much time and effort, and paying more for a property that is in better condition can be a wise move.
5. Decorate to demand – Don't make the mistake of decorating and furnishing the property to your own tastes. Keep it simple, with clean lines, and do not fall into self indulgence. You are there to make money out of the property, so keep your market in mind but do not treat it like a dolls' house.
6. Check for safety – By law you must make sure that the property you are letting complies with various safety regulations, like furniture and furnishings fire safety, gas safety, electrical equipment safety, and that it contains a smoke detector. You'll also need certificates to prove these regulations have been met. You need to be aware of new and updated regulations as and when they arise.
7. Know your responsibilities – You, your letting agent and your tenants have different responsibil-ities, and it is important to know where these lie. As the landlord you will be expected to pay buildings insurance, ground rent and service charges and insure any items you leave in the property. Your letting agent will advise on others' respons-ibilities as part of your contract.
8. Prepare for voids – Your property may be empty and not generate any income for periods of time, and you need to be ready for this. Advertising for new tenants, painting walls and replacing carpets can take months off your lettings calendar and you should have a plan in place for when this happens.
9. Move with the market – Know that if the market softens you will have to lower your rent in order to stay competitive, no matter how desirable your property.
10. Recruit a managing or letting agent – A good agent will find tenants, do background checks, draw up the lease, collect rent and inspect the property.

My two sisters along with a grand-nephew are driving out from Texas to visit for a few days and will arrive tomorrow. My older son, who now lives in Pittsburgh, is currently in Los Angeles working a show and will be back at the house tomorrow. On top of that, my younger son who is in school at UC Santa Cruz will be down as well. With my sons' friends, we'll have about 10 people for dinner tomorrow evening. On the menu: brisket, pulled pork, beef ribs, baby backs, fresh corn on the cob, and the Blue cheese and bacon cole slaw Dyal posted earlier in the week
I just finished prepping the brisket and pork butt a little while ago. The brisket is 14.22 lbs and the pork butt is just over 7 lbs.
Here is the brisket after covering with Worcestershire sauce and TexasBBQRub brisket blend:

The Flat TireLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
At Duke University, there were four sophomores taking Organic Chemistry. They had done so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, etc., that each had a solid "A" for the semester.
These guys were feeling pretty confident the weekend before finals, so they decided to go up to the University of Virginia to party with some friends. They had a great time; however, after all the partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday.
Rather than take the final on schedule Monday morning, they decided to find their professor after the exam and let him know why they had missed it. They explained that they had gone to UVA for the weekend with the plan to come back to study, but, unfortunately, they had had a flat tire on the way back, hadn't brought a spare, and hadn't been able to get help for a long time.
As a result, they had missed the exam.
The Professor thought it over and then agreed that they could make up the final the following day. The guys were elated and relieved. They studied hard that night and went in the next day at
the appointed time.
The professor placed the four friends in separate rooms, handed each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.
They looked at the first problem, worth 5 points. It was something simple about free radical formation.
"Cool," thought all four simultaneously, each one in his separate room, "this is going to be easy." Each finished the problem and then turned the page.
On the second page was written: "For 95 points answer this question:
The final question proved the professor knew the students were lying. What was the question?
AnswerWhich tire?

CUMBRIA is now home to three pairs of nesting ospreys as Natural England confirmed the arrival of two chicks at their Roudsea Wood reserve in South Lakeland.
The news rounds off a bumper breeding season for the birds after chicks were also successfully hatched at Foulshaw Moss, near Witherslack, and Bassenthwaite this year.
- RAC repair man unearths chef's cannabis supply crime
- £2,500 worth of damage caused to headstones in churchyard
- Lake District named one of happiest places in UK
- Kendal fish and chip shop in running to be named best in UK
Senior reserve manager at Roudsea Wood, Haverthwaite, Rob Petley-Jones said this was the pair's second year at the site, but their first successful breeding attempt.
He said: "Last year's nest was on one of Electricity North West's major power towers and it wasn't so much as a large bundle of sticks which fell down in the storms.
"This year Electricity North West sponsored us to build an artificial platform which they've been nesting on."
The birds arrived in early April and Mr Petley-Jones believes the chicks hatched in mid-June.
The fledglings can be seen on one of the reserve's nature trails as they fly around, learning how to catch fish.
Mr Petley-Jones said the fledglings were already the same size as their parents but with a slight difference in plumage.
"They're such spectacular birds to look at," he added.
It is believed the mother has already started her migration back to west Africa, and the father and fledglings could follow within the next three weeks.
"They migrate independently, and it's amazing how something that was an egg two months ago can undertake such a journey on its own," Mr Petley-Jones said.
"The parents have been very successful – for a young pair to get two healthy chicks is impressive.
"It also bodes well for the future because ospreys are very faithful to their nest sites and the pair we have are likely to return next year – probably in late March/early April."
Next year Roudsea Wood celebrates its diamond anniversary and we are hoping to celebrate the event by improving their visitor facilities, with a good quality camera at the nest site to broadcast footage of the birds.
Ospreys were extinct in Britain for a century after 'persecution' in the Victorian era.
Its return to Scotland in the late 1950s is one of the great conservation success stories of the 20th century.
The return of ospreys to the Lakes in 2001 was the culmination of several years of work to encourage ospreys to nest in the area.

Black Mesa is a re-envisioning of Valve Software's classic science fiction first person shooter, Half-Life. Powered by Source Engine, You will re-visit the inaugural role of Gordon Freeman and his memorable journey through the Black Mesa Research Facility. Expect detailed environments to explore, a huge cast of characters and experimental weaponry. All-new music, voice acting, choreography and added dialogue give way to a more expansive and immersive experience than ever before. Learn more.
It's a brilliant tribute to one of the greatest videogames ever made, and it's also a good game in its own right.
Black Mesa succeeds in faithfully recreating the original Half-Life experience and improving upon it in ways that weren't feasible.
It isn't perfect, but Black Mesa is one of the most entertaining shooters we've played this year. That's pretty amazing when you consider it's based on a game released 14 years ago.
The first of two releases of Black Mesa is currently available free for download. This release includes over 8 hours and 14 chapters of gameplay. The final release, via steam, is under development.

text: My guess is that we don't draft for a franchise QB but end up with one through injuries. I'm very happy that Romo fell into our lap but to expect that to happen again isn't realistic. My guess is that Romo eventually goes down sometime in the future and doesn't come back and we end up with a guy off of the bench until we can draft/trade for a QB. On a side note I find it funny that in most threads I read on here, if someone can't find something helpful to add they fall back on the "you must think this is Madden" comment, as if this is either funny or original.

Dixon was completed in 1990 as part of an expansion project to accomodate the growing student population following Dr. John MacArthur's coming as President of the school in 1985. Waldock and Sweazy Halls were a part of that expansion as well. The hall is named after Frank R. Dixon, a generous donor to the college that funded its construction.
Dixon is a two-story building. Between two wings of rooms are two lounges, one on each floor. The Resident Director apartment is located in the middle as well on the second story.
The dorm is divided into four wings, one per-floor-per-side of 10-12 rooms each with a large central shower and restroom area and laundry facilities. Each room is fully furnished for two students including beds, built-in shelving, drawers, closet space, desks, and an individual heater/air-conditioner unit. The wings are normally referred to as "Upper-East", "Upper-West", "Lower-East", "Lower-West" with reference to their location from the central dorm entrance in the second-story lounge.

Just wondering....anyone have Steve's Beer Can Chicken book? I'm thinking about buying it to see how many variations he's come up with.
Absolutely amazing. I'm never eating chicken any other way.
p.s. Is there a beer can turkey?

• Give a dog a bone. If you have an affectionate or noisy pooch, give her something to distract her – so she won't distract you in the middle of your interview. Or ask your roommate or partner to take doggy for a walk during the interview.
• Consider who will hear you. If you're keeping your job search a secret, you may need to schedule the interview before or after work. Even if you have an office with a door, someone could overhear you – or just knock and come in as you're telling the recruiter your best saved the day story.
• Videotape yourself during the interview. This gives you the chance to review how you did, to seek feedback on the interview - and to follow up on any question you mishandled.
The final tip comes from both of us: Practice, and practice some more. "Reduce the variables in the job interview" by preparing to answer the question you dread, Berndt said. Practice for the awkward moments - a dropped connection, both talking at once or an interruption by dog or daughter. Practice with the tools so you can manage them effortlessly before the recruiter sets up your Skype screening interview.

Quote:Thanks guys, I will take your advice about actually learning how to do it first and then trying to defend against it.
Quote:Ok...so lets say I have sprawled and I am leaned over him, what then? How could you get hits in? It seems to me that if I were to let go the guy would be on top of me. Would I have to grapple, or at least get in the mount position and start hitting?
Quote:Basically I m asking if as soon one person has initiated the grappling thats it, you have to play by his rules now?
Quote:I guess if you push him away from you at a suficent distance you can go back into stand up, but that would require a lot of strength seeing as grapplers tend to be big mofos
Quote: Sprawl at angles to create space so you can get back up. Learn to cross face after you sprawl as well.
Quote: Of course, that means youre going to have to learn the front headlock
Quote:, I have one more question though, Quote: Ok, I understand the what you mean by angles to create space, but what is cross face?
Quote:Another thing if you can't sprawl - dig the underhooks in (getting your arms between his arms and his body). This helps if he's got you pinned against a wall, etc. Sometimes guys will push you against a wall and rip your legs out from under you. Repummeling for underhooks will give you the leverage to help prevent this and move into a better position.
Quote:One interesting point.What if you can't sprawl? You are pushed up against a wall or fence or there are other obstacles preventing you from getting your legs behind you hips.
