At a time when the country desperately needed the boost, the Olympics have turned out to be a regular festival of uplift. Against a backdrop of what was beginning to look like unrelentingly grim news about another war, the sliding economy and rising gas prices, Michael Phelps leapt into the pool to become a national hero. He's someone we can all agree on: uniquely American, focused, competitive, almost superhuman, yet still accessibly imperfect.
And the advertisers, for the most part, have kept pace with the thrill of the Games. That is, except for Lenovo. The spots, like Coke's "Unity," have been big, emotional and even quasi-spiritual. Nike's commercial, using old footage of Marvin Gaye singing a hauntingly slow National Anthem against cuts of the superstar NBA-ers coming together to play for Team USA, is goose-bump-inducing great. Coke's little colorful animated figures building their own bird's nest are inspired. Chevy gives us hope by introducing the car of the future.
And Visa knocked it out of the park (to mix a sports metaphor) in delivering a "Congratulations, Michael" spot seemingly overnight. (The script was presciently written and voiced back in March and April, since Morgan Freeman is, now, post-Nissan wreck, all shook up.) Within this high-toned mix, what turns out to be a mini-Olympics for advertisers, both presidential contenders have also bought time.
Given the context, the largely negative political work is downright depressing. Who wants to leave the swimming pool or the beach volleyball scene (each complete with those 6-foot-4-inch androids of perfection) to get right back to talking smack on taxes, the economy and oil?
Yes, it's a critical point in the election, and certainly the Olympics offers a uniquely diverse (and huge) audience. But like the Super Bowl, it seems to me that using the venue to run upsetting and negative messages is a waste. And even when the spots are not negative (e.g., an Obama ad that comes off as "Morning in America" Lite, that talks about "the hands that built roofs can also build solar panels"), the low-budget look of the spots gets lost against the highfalutin production values of a Coke or Nike commercial.
But there's more to object to than it looks bad. I know that pols run negative advertising because it works. You get to define your opponent before he does it for himself. Still, I think that negative advertising just makes us cranky and wary and even more cynical about politics and the possibility of change.
Undeniably, though, McCain's commercial linking Britney and Paris to Obama has been a win for him. It's pretty much the only ad produced by his crew that's at all memorable, and it's been viewed thousands of times on YouTube and produced all sorts of parodies.
Paris, of course, had some comedy writers create a response ("See you at the debates, bitches!"), which she read to the cameras while sunbathing. It was the most intelligent thing she's ever done, and also extends McCain's free media news cycle.
Rationally, of course, the comparisons made no sense — how does a black Harvard Law grad who worked as a community organizer compare in any way with blonde airheads? But there was genius in the meanness — the ad suggests, almost subliminally, that Obama is either a vapid party girl or Hitler. Still it's not exactly a swift boat attack. Everyone saw it for what it was.
So it was amazingly dumb for the Obama camp to respond early last week — weeks after the McCain ad debuted — with a pathetically tepid tit-for-tat. It doesn't acknowledge the McCain spot (a mistake) and instead takes the exact same low-down tack: "For decades, he's been Washington's biggest celebrity," an announcer says, while we see clips of McCain on Leno, Letterman and Saturday Night Live. What's so bad about that? It only makes the Cainster seem jocular and contemporary. Even the clip of McCain hugging George Bush on the White House Lawn places him at the center of power. It's nowhere near as ruthless as the McCain version, which suggests that his opponent is either a sociopath or a girly-man or both. (McCain continued the girly-man shtick when he made fun of the tire gauge proposal — too "airy," especially considering that the manly Republicans want to drill, drill, drill!)
As it is, with this response, it's like two 5-year-olds crying to their mothers. "He called me a celebrity!" And, "He went on Letterman!" "No you went on Letterman!" By coming back with this "I know you are, but what am I?" answer, we're all stumped as to exactly what the insult is.

By 1970 the population had dropped to a little
over 6,000 people and by the following year, there was very little left to picket as most of the downtown
businesses had closed. For those establishments that remained, the
boycott continued for the rest of the decade.
Once Commercial Street was lined with businesses -- a Hallmark
store, the Mode-O-Day, Khourie Bros. Department Store -- in front of which,
the Hamburger Wagon sat serving up popcorn, greasy burgers, and flavored
sodas; Florsheim Shoes, a music store, photography studio, banks, auto
dealerships, gas stations, and restaurants. All closed now.
Elsewhere in the city, some 40 small neighborhood grocery stores once
thrived. On our visit in 2010, we could find not a single open grocery
store. Cairo's residents were once entertained by numerous speedboat races
on the Ohio River, as half the town sat on the concrete levee wall
watching. Not any more. Another entertainment venue -- the Gem Theatre --
closed its doors forever in 1978 after operating for nearly 70 years.
By 1971, there was very little left to
picket as most of the downtown businesses had closed in Cario. Photo from the book Let My People Go: Cairo, Illinois 1967-73, by
Jan Peterson Roddy, photo by Preston Ewing
Cairo's 44-bed hospital closed in 1986, the town soon lost its bus service, and
in 1988, the City of New Orleans, operating on the rail line, made its
last stop. Though the passenger depot originally built by the
Central Railroad still stands, the trains no longer stop for passengers.
In the end, Cairo
would become the city that died from racism. By 1990, the town sported a
population of little less than 5,000. It's citizens tried valiantly to
save the town when Riverboat Gambling was legalized the same year.
Enacted partially to revitalize dying towns, it was the perfect
opportunity for little Cairo
to have a second chance. However, the State of Illinois, instead, awarded
the license to nearby Metropolis, some 40 miles northwest on the Ohio
River, dashing all hopes of the town's opportunity to revitalize its
economy and population. By
the year 2,000, Cario's population had dropped to only about 3,600
residents. The 2010 census put it at 2,831.
Sadly, Preston
Ewing Jr., Cairo's unofficial historian, former president of the local
NAACP chapter, city treasurer, and participant in the Civil Rights
Movement in Cairo, described the town as "poor, black and ugly." Further,
not having unrealistic expectations, he said, "Our goal should be to
stabilize Cairo, not talk about growth. Potential employers will go where
there is greater viability and an infrastructure to support businesses."
In fact, things were so bad in 1990, that the Cairo High School graduating
class was advised to leave the town by its principal.
Built to support a population of
over 15,000 people, Cairo is a "ghost town" today, by definition -- any historical town or site that leaves evidence of its
previous glory. A third of its population are below
the poverty line. The city is predominately African-American at almost
72%, compared to Caucasian at about 29%. The median income for a
household in the city was just $21,607 in the 2000 census and continues
to face significant socio-economic challenges including education
issues, high unemployment rates, and lack of a commercial tax base, which all
contribute to the sadness of
In the 2010 census, the median income for a household in the city
dropped to $16,682.
The city and its residents have worked hard over the recent years to
stabilize the small town; however, these attempts are often
short-lived, as there is simply no money. The real estate in Cairo is
cheap, and many, intrigued with the prospect of building a business,
have taken the opportunity to start in Cairo. But,
business is slow as residents wonder why these businesses have started
in their small town. Additionally, many residents see these newcomers
as temporary – being too used to people coming to help and then
leaving. After years of turmoil,
Cairo's residents are often untrusting
Despite the town's rich history, magnificent river views, and attempts
to stabilize it, there are few efforts to promote the area for
South of Cairo, the
historic site of Fort Defiance, which was once an
Illinois State Park,
but, since given over to the City of Cairo, is now
abandoned. Everywhere, there are dismal reminders that less than 3,000
people now live in a city designed for many more.
Alexander County is one of
the poorest in
Illinois. Without businesses that pay taxes, the town
and county
simply cannot afford to provide basic services, much less promote itself.
Many of its residents are tired of telling the story of their blighted
town and just simply want to be left alone.
Still, the historic city of Cairo has much
to offer for history buffs and photographers. Numerous buildings,
including large stone banks, churches, retail businesses and government
structures continue to stand, though their promise was not fulfilled. A
few historical architectural landmarks have been restored; but, what's left after decades
of white flight and economic stagnation, is an expanse of abandoned
buildings, bulldozed lots, and forgotten history.
There are;
however, those who would like to see Cairo revived and some of their
efforts are paying off. In July, 2010,
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed
a bill that will create the Alexander-Cairo Port District, which will help
attract businesses and jobs to the area. The
Project Manager for Alexander
County is looking for ways to raise funds to promote tourism and students
from Southern Illinois University are working with the locals to preserve
and restore some of the buildings.
Hopefully, these
efforts will work as the clock continues to tick on Cairo,
that without revitalization, is destined to become a true "ghost
Not everything in Cairo is in ruins.

From this "Old West"
enthusiast, perhaps Cairo
could learn from many of the "living
ghost towns"
of the western frontier -- places such as
Virginia City, Montana; Deadwood, South Dakota;
Yes, Cairo's
history is sad, but it is nonetheless fascinating, spans more than 150
years, and represents an important piece of
American History
that should never be forgotten. My vivid imagination can easily "see"

Commercial Avenue in Cairo
is all but empty today. On the right side of the street these buildings once
held the W.T. Wall & Co Department Store, the Cairo Public Utility

lots are today, once held a Hallmark Store, the S.H. Kress & Co. Variety Store,
a music store, and more. At the far end of left side of the street, the Rhodes-Burford
Furniture Store sign is still in place. It was one of the last large businesses to
close. Kathy Weiser, April, 2010.

Hannah Swensen loves the Christmas Season in Lake Eden, Minnesota but this year nothing is as cozy as it should be murder is anything but cozy.
Phyllis Bates is back in town and she is Herb Beeseman's ex-girlfriend and now she is playing Mrs. Claus to his Mr. Claus all isn't going too badly until Lisa Herb's wife comes to the rehearsal of "A Christmas Carol" and sees with her own eyes that Herb has not received a stage kiss from Phyllis but a real kiss. Lisa storms out with Hannah on her heels.
Lisa and Hannah go to the Cookie Jar Bakery to figure out how many caramels they will need for the gift bags since they are making all the treats for the play performances.
While there they are hungry and decide to meet in an hour at The Corner Tavern to eat and make plans for the recipes.
However, after they have their supper and get ready to leave Hannah notices in the corner parking lot that there seems to be something on the steep bank in the snow. She's right soon she finds the body of Phyllis, what is worse she also finds something that incriminates Herb and even worse is the fact that they soon find that Phyllis was murdered.
Christmas Caramel Murder by Joanne Fluke is a real old-fashioned page-turner.
As always this mystery in the cozy series is chalk full of recipes to die for and it's the best Christmas Mystery I have read this year.

Reds awaiting result of Mesoraco's appeal
Reds awaiting result of Mesoraco's appeal
PHILADELPHIA -- As of Monday afternoon, there was no word on an appeal for Reds rookie catcher Devin Mesoraco's three-game suspension. Mesoraco was disciplined for making contact while arguing with an umpire and being ejected on July 30 against the Padres -- the same game during which he suffered a concussion.
"We're awaiting," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "We've got some tentative word, but I have to wait to hear from Walt [Jocketty] on what it is exactly."
Jocketty, Cincinnati's general manager, is not traveling with the club this week. Mesoraco started behind the plate while Mike Leake pitched Monday against the Phillies.
If the suspension is upheld before rosters are expanded on Sept. 1, there would be ramifications. The Reds would have to make a move to bring in a catcher while still playing with 24 men.

Starting tomorrow (11/28, running through 12/4) there is a promo where you save $50 when you buy $300 of gift cards with in-store coupon. I don't know any other details, but you can bet I'll be there tomorrow to see if there are any limitations! Hoping it will yield a 17% savings on my DVC dues!

From start to finish the whole experience was smooth and simple, the initial search result gave me plenty of choice and the actual process of making my booking was quick and very efficient.
I would like the opportunity to follow up this review "After I have experienced my stay at the Hotel".
My reason being, there was a huge difference in the price offered by the Hotel and the price I paid using LateRooms.com

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday commended the Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of social networking website, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, for sharing his wealth of knowledge with Nigerian youths, and inspiring a new generation of entrepreneurs.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President spoke while granting audience to Zuckerberg at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari said the various meetings held with Nigerian youths since his arrival in the country were most timely as the country was already exploring opportunities to spur development through entrepreneurship.
He said, "Nigeria has always been identified as a country with great potential for growth, especially with our youthful population, but now we are moving beyond the potential to reality.
"I am impressed by your simplicity in sharing your knowledge and wealth with those with less income."
The President noted that the simplicity and magnanimity of the entrepreneur, who is among the world's richest men, had also challenged the culture of lavish wealth display and impulsive spending that had become peculiar to Nigerians.
"We are more used to seeing successful people in air-conditioned places. We are happy you are well-off and simple enough to always share," he said.
In his remarks, Zuckerberg said he was impressed by the interest, energy and entrepreneurial spirit displayed by young Nigerians in all the ICT camps that he had visited.
"I was highly impressed by the talent of the youths in the Co-creation Hub in Yaba. I was blown away by their talent and the level of energy that I saw,'' he said.
Zuckerberg added that he is in the country to promote the penetration of "fast and cheap" internet connectivity, Express-wifi, that would help people create online businesses and reduce poverty.

The Greek government on Thursday approached Germany's Deutsche Telekom to discuss the sale of the state's remaining stake in Balkans telecoms giant OTE, the finance minister said.
"Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou today sent a letter to the board of Deutsche Telekom to begin the procedure," the minister's office said.
It added that the move followed "a decision by the cabinet on the further privatisation of OTE."
The cash-strapped Greek government this week said it will reduce its 16-percent stake in OTE by next month amid plans to raise 50 billion euros ($70 billion) from state asset sales to reduce the country's huge debt.
The semi-state Athens News Agency (ANA) reported Thursday that tenders on a host of other state properties for full or partial sale -- including the ports of Piraeus and Thessaloniki and Hellenic Postbank, one of the country's best-capitalised lenders -- would be launched in coming months.
Germany's Deutsche Telekom currently controls 30 percent of OTE, the largest telecom operator in the Balkans that employs some 30,000 people in Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia.
The government is holding crunch talks with the EU, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank on a privatisation programme and economic reforms whose outcome will determine Greece's continued solvency.
Athens last year was granted a 110-billion-euro loan from the three organisations and has warned it will go bankrupt without a 12-billion-euro instalment due this month.
The government said it would activate a "put option" -- a contract to sell an asset by a specific date -- on a 10-percent stake in OTE and would also consider selling the remaining six percent at an unspecified date.
OTE this month reported a net profit of 30.2 million euros ($42.5 million) in the first quarter of the year, a fall of 54.1 percent from 2010.
In February, OTE announced cost cuts worth some 32 million euros but managed to raise 500 million euros in a three-year bond sale two months later.

from conversations on wompo
Siri Von Reis was doing a project on Peter Kalm's travel in Canada about exactly 20 years ago. Siri is a poet, but also a PhD in Botany from Harvard (I think). In any case, Kalm was a Linnean. The project had two problems, one of which she remedied -- the poems were found in the translation, not in the original wedish. I believe since Siri knows Swedish, she did some of her own translations, and also went to the original Swedish. Or not. I expect some of these appeared in magazines, but I didn't see them.
The other problem -- and note, I did read these in very early draft -- was that they were horribly Freudian. Freudian symbology was often the shaig mechanism for the choosing.
on wompo, discussing "erasure" which is nearly identical to most found poetry (poems made from taking aay words and context, rather than choosing words and removing them from the original context), a project was mentioned that uses a text from a British man in India in the 1850s about flowers. The "erasure" or found poem is intended to be a love poetry to India from the flowers. The inspiration to this project is Yedda Morrison's Darkness Chapter 1: http://littleredleaves.com/ebooks/darkness.pdf
here is a new gnoetry / heart of darkness poem cycle
so I think I'll review both together, and togther with the author notes, mostly invlved with post colonialism
More background, other than Siri Von Reis: one of the poems in my book DaDaDa is the parts where Spenser dscribes his fiancee in Amoretti. It is not the richest work of found poetry I've done, but in it, not only do you see that the bride is a monster, but also, the way in which "her fearful eyen" are not power, but under the male gaze, become a sort of vagina dentata.
My concern about the structure of the project as described is that it simply reinscribes the stereotypical tropes women = other = colony and women = sex = flowers = love, while also reinscribing the prejudiced male writer who wrote -- inthe midst of perhaps more important female writers who then, therefore, are not receiving scant artistic attention. Too, the 1850s is 100 years past the Linnean / first British Colonial period in India, and about 200 years past the Linnean explorers I know most about, those in Canada. Not that the female flower writers did not know the Latin!!! Many of them did, even when they insisted they didn't for defensive reasons -- to avoid harsh criticism for attempting to compete in a scholarly or scientific realm, in some cases.
My current female "explorer" used the british museum "fish and fetish" gathering rubric to gain some legitimizing / authority during her journey; she also, in the fish case, claims not to know precisely what-all sciencey, though she gthered specimins of unique lizards, for example.

HITCHCOCK — Savannah Fitzgerald isn't very sheepish about being good with kids. The 15-year-old is at the Galveston County Fair and Rodeo this week and has a goat Pancakes that is competing.
She also is tending to Ray a lamb that her Friendswood FFA friend Joylynn Grady could not show. Fitzgerald said lamb-sitting is an awful lot like baby-sitting.
"You've got to have patience because the lamb doesn't like you at first because you are not her mom" she said.
Though Ray is generally friendly with people he has been known to act up.
"I'll be exercising him and he'll run into me and try to knock me over" Fitzgerald said.
When Ray does this he gets a stern talking to.
"After a while he stops doing that because you reprimand him and he's ok" Fitzgerald said. "Some animals when you talk to them they are like 'Oh my god you're mad at me' so they back off."
That's worked so far for Ray. He's never had to go to time out but he could lose privileges.
"You can take away the privilege of being able to eat anything they want by using the muzzle" Fitzgerald said.
Sometimes the lamb just shows he is a knucklehead.
"No sir that is not a smart thing to do mister" she told Ray as he tried to head-butt the lamb in the next pen.
Fortunately or unfortunately heavy steel bars prevented the two from smashing heads. Apparently neither one acknowledged the existence of the obstructions.
"They do not realize there are bars there and that they could hurt themselves" Fitzgerald said. "They aren't very bright animals."
Caring for Ray isn't that hard for Fitzgerald. Goats and lambs apparently get along very well.
"They play just like they would normally" she said.
"For a while he thought he was a goat because he was the only lamb. They do the exact same thing. They head-butt each other."
Judging for Market Lambs and Goats will begin at 4 p.m. today.
At A Glance
It's Senior Citizens' Day at the Galveston County Fair and Rodeo.
The fairgrounds will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today. Seniors can enjoy free activities and fellowship.
When the fair officially opens at 4 p.m. seniors will be admitted free.
Also on the schedule for today are:
5 p.m.: Market lamb judging which will be immediately followed by market goat judging
5:30 p.m.: Exhibition barrels
6 p.m.: Gospel music
7 p.m.: Jackpot Barrel racing

SHARON HILL >> Academy Park coach Jason Vosheski wasn't happy.
His team, gifted the football after Chichester fumbled the opening kickoff Friday, had just turned it over on downs. The hangover from last week's stunning loss to Interboro and a matchup with a less-than-challenging opponent was evident.
"Whenever you want to start playing, let me know," Vosheski yelled at his team. "Embarrassing."
The Knights started to play on the next drive and didn't stop until the running clock kicked in during the third quarter. A needed rebound victory, 36-0 over the overmatched Eagles, closed their regular season at 9-1 overall and 4-1 in Del Val play.
They will be ready for a playoff game next week — opponent to be determined Sunday — in unfamiliar territory. Academy Park needed Springfield to lose to get the District 1 top seed out of Class 5A. It also needed Interboro to lose to earn a share of the league title. It got neither.
"I don't care," Vosheski said.
What he did care about was the clinic the Knights put on — once they woke up. The normally tough defense yielded a mere 39 yards to Chichester (3-6, 1-4). Teddy Wright and Dazhon Miller both had touchdown runs and fronted a ground attack that produced 234 yards. Taylor Moors chipped in with two touchdown passes, largely aided by superb individual plays from Kareem Burton and Skylor Fillis.
Academy Park led 15-0 after the first quarter and 30-0 at halftime. It scored on the opening possession of the second half to set off the running clock. The bad taste from the Interboro game was gone.
"Our defense and our offense, we really fell apart," team captain Togba Porte said. "Even in the newspaper I saw that we lost all respect. That really hurt us. All week in practice we had to work hard, really make a statement for ourselves that we'll come back strong."
Miller scored on an 11-yard run. Jermal Martin returned a fumble 21 yards to add to the lead. Wright raced 69 yards to make it 23-0. Moors then hit Burton from 35 yards out just before halftime, and found Fillis with a 24-yarder to cap the scoring.
The first possession blues were long gone.
"We had a little bit of a letdown, we were a little sluggish — which I guess is kind of natural, I'm glad it wasn't next week when it happened," Vosheski said. "But the kids bounced back for the most part, so we're happy."
Now the Knights can turn their attention to the playoffs. They've been there before, claiming two of the last three district titles, but they haven't been past that point.
That was close to Porte's mind on Senior Night. What he wants, and what the Knights want, is a state championship.
"This year, I honestly do believe we have the team to make it that far," Porte explained. "What we have to do is when stuff goes wrong — and I know stuff is going to go wrong — we have to stay together. If we all play (as a) team, team defense, team offense, then we'll be good."

A camcorder can record series of images to form videos. It is true that in this digital world, smartphones and digital cameras play a great role in capturing videos. At the same time, it cannot be denied that camcorders are undoubtedly the best when it comes to capturing crisp videos. A full featured camcorder will help you to capture and preserve your videos for a lifetime. You can also connect it to the HDTV and show it to your friends on big screens.
Over the last few years, the camcorder has experienced a sea of change in terms of its features, specifications, and functionalities. The sizes are reduced, and they are more powerful being light in weight. They can capture vibrant colors, smoother videos and sharper videos than ever before. Moreover, with advanced controls they are absolutely easy to use. Even if, you are using it for the first time you will not experience any difficulty in getting hands on it.
These are great options for anyone simply looking for pocket-friendly options and utmost convenience in HD format. The portability is another factor that makes them popular. They are easily available within the price ranges of $80 to $250. Most of these come with USB jack that can be plugged directly into your desktop or laptop. They are only slightly thicker than a smartphone due to which they are ideal for practical purposes.
If you are looking for something affordable, with a range of features, this might be a suitable option for you. it is true that SD is moving out of the scene slowly, yet for people with a tight budget willing to shoot good quality videos, it is a good option. You can find them in price ranges of $200 to $300. Since the video files are smaller, they are easier to work with.
With an aim for a good quality HD video, you might consider this option. It is priced reasonably, and easy to use. It is also portable, and it can be slipped easily into the coat pocket. They have better controls with SD card slots for removable storage media. You can expect to find them anywhere from $300 to $1000.
If you are looking forward to upgrading your conventional camcorder this might be the right option for you. They offer more advantages over the consumer models. Ranging from extensive shooting modes to manual controls and higher quality components, features in these camcorders help create videos that can often resemble the motion picture film. The audio options and quality are also better in these devices. The options of upgrading later are more with these devices. They are typically available from price ranges $1000 to $3000.
With these camcorders you can go bold with your videos and give them a 3D effect. The price ranges from $1000 to $2000, but it is recommended to you only if you have a 3D TV or a 3D computer setup.
There is no denying that the professional levels of camcorders are pretty expensive. However, if you are serious about some video production career, it might be a good investment. You will come across a vast array of models, and each of these is designed for different shooting environments. Moreover, you will also get some of the highest quality components with customized options in more than ways you can imagine. These are priced over $5000, and they are larger than the other models.
Zoom refers to the finger control of widening the view. There is a variation in the zoom capacity where the rate of zoom changes, and this is often dependent on different types of zoom. Most camcorders come with two different types of zoom features.
For optical zooming, the ratio ranges from 10:1 to 50:1 approximately. Therefore, the specification of such a camcorder will be 10X optical zoom or 50X optical zoom. In the case, the zooming features are highly dependent on the optical lenses.
Some camcorders also come with the special feature of digital zoom where the range can be extended to about 400:1, and sometimes even more. However, it gives a lower picture quality than the optical zoom
Most camcorders are designed in a way so that they use image sensors. More the megapixel better is the quality of the video and images. Here is a guide for selecting the megapixels.
• The standard models come with 680k pixels, which are a good option.
• Some of the entry level models come with megapixel-plus chips, which gives better quality videos along with better quality stills
As the megapixels increase, the quality increases and so does the price. Therefore, it is best to say that you should pick up the highest megapixel count suited to your budget.
It is also important to remember that some companies mark the device with a megapixel count, higher than the actual pixel count on the sensor. Therefore, when shopping, you should try to check the actual pixel count of the chip instead of the megapixel figure on the model.
You might often wonder whether you should opt for a Wi-Fi or 4K feature in the camcorder you choose. There are large numbers of camcorders manufactured today with inbuilt Wi-Fi facilities. With this feature, you can effortlessly and wirelessly transfer the photos and videos to your computer. In addition to that, it will also allow you to upload videos directly to your social media sites. Some models will even allow you to transfer the videos to your mobile device and control the device remotely through an app.
On the other hand, some models come with built-in USB cord. It is also a good option to go for a camcorder that comes with 4K resolution, which means that it offers 4 times the resolution offered by a full high definition camcorder. Since these offer higher resolution, you can expect to capture finer details and hence it can be worth the value of your money. However, in order to see the detail, you will need an ultra-high definition television
The shift to the flash memory is one of the latest trends of the camcorders. Gone are those days when these devices used recordable disks and tapes to store the video footage, which made them heavier. The first HDD models were introduced in 2005, which reduced the weight and size and increased the capacity of tapes and discs.
With the progression of time, manufacturers have continued to innovate their products and reduce the size and weight. Today's models just have slots for memory cards ranging from 8GB to 96GB. The SD card was also introduced that eliminated the need for external storage. This not a bad way to go because prices are lower now, and the costs of the SD cards have also fallen.
You can even find pocket camcorders today with onboard storage capacities of 8GB or 16GB based on the model. Most of these accept external storage cards, as well.

CLIMBING THE STARS | Marc Castelli
20th Anniversary Exhibition
May 17 - July 6, 2013
Opening Reception:
Friday, May 17, 6- 8 pm
June First Friday Reception - June 7, 5-8 pm
July First Friday Reception - July 5, 5- 8 pm
2013 marks our twentieth year representing Marc Castelli. During the year we will feature two separate exhibitions celebrating the anniversary. Climbing the Stars refers to an archaic celestial navigation term and Marc could not have chosen a more apropos title for our May event. Although all new work will be featured, Marc has gone back to many familiar shores in the creation of these paintings. He returned to England to capture the J-Class yachts; found inspiration from his travels throughout Europe and the Middle East; fulfilled a lifelong fantasy as a guest of Ferrari at the Formula 1 races in Austin, Texas; and deepened his relationships with the watermen working side by side on their workboats.
Throughout his career Castelli has navigated numerous unknown seas. As an artist he has taken risks to expand his vision, address his artistic concerns and hone his technical skills. It is his wish to present views few others will ever see, his need to include the viewer in the experience, and his desire to create tangible abstractions from the shapes and textures that can be found in boats, tools, weather, and most of all water that keeps him ever exploring. In staying true to these impulses, he has found a subject in the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers encompassing all the artistic challenges he would want to pursue.
It is the light I have been trying to capture as it falls and illuminates the watermen going about their harvests. The light - that is in the water and air of the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers.
- M. Castelli
During the exhibition, the gallery will be open from 11 am - 3 pm Wednesday - Friday, and from 10 am - 4 pm on Saturday. Or by appointment.

Arts And Crafts Info You Won't Find Elsewhere
You can go in different exciting directions with materials and thinking of new ideas. Keep reading to learn things that you with your next project. Who knows what your next creation will create next!
Don't push kids when they are creating their works of art. The whole point of getting them involved is to let them express and encourage creativity. They won't if you're constantly telling them they are doing something wrong.
Washable adhesives and markers are another option.
If you have difficulty finding supplies for arts and crafts projects that are affordable, shop at different thrift stores. Goodwill and similar shops have things that crafty individuals can use. Check often to see what they have as these items come in every day.
Focus on one thing before starting another. Take the time to finish one project before beginning another. You will be able to finish up one craft before you know it.
You should not show an example at all or show off different examples so kids can use their imaginations.
You can find a lot of crafting supplies on sites like Etsy. This is a website that has things for sale. You can also be able to actually sell your projects on this website. The site is ideal when you need vintage items for craft projects.
Spray glass cleaner on a towel and wipe your mosaic when it starts to look cloudy after the mortar dries. It can be hard to get the mortar powder for a more beautiful finished project.
Children thoroughly enjoy arts and different art creations.
Your kitchen is a great place to find arts and craft materials. You might just be surprised what you'll find lots of interesting items there that can be used for crafting. You can use metal cans, tin foil, aluminum foil, and much more. You can even use interesting spices like dried pasta and dried beans as materials.
If you're trying to pick up oil painting and you mess up, just paint something new on top of it. Oil won't harm the surface. It may even give your new project!
Roll the sticky pine cone in birdseed for an instant bird feeder. The seeds adhere to the cone, even after drying, so if you just attach a string, you can sit and watch the birds come and feast in your favorite tree.
You can use your hobby to make presents instead of buying them.You can use your time all year to make personalized gifts to hand out on special occasions. You can save money and give a personally created gift at holidays.
Buy your supplies wholesale when you need lots of supplies. You will pay much more when you shop at major craft stores. If you can get your supplies wholesale, you can purchase large quantities at great savings.
Never dispose of the packaging from products. You may be able to use these materials for different arts and crafts projects. Store the item and go to it when you require inspiration.
Check online for deals online. You will find a plethora of discounts on craft supplies online. You may find that what is offered at many chain stores near you is very limited, but sellers are out there. You may find that the prices are far better online than at a local store.
If you want to get a model car for you and your child to put together, buy a model that is right for their age range.
Lots of area stores provide free pamphlets that have craft projects in them. Look around for these pamphlets through the store. They are usually on a hook about eye level. The supplies you require are usually in the same vicinity as the pamphlet.
Now that you have this information, you may want to start a craft now. Use this advice to do your craft efficiently and have fun doing it. Be sure to share the things you create with everyone as you construct your lovely pieces.

A Little Letterboxing on the Side
Lisa had printed out a list of clues that would lead us to hidden letterboxes in the area. Amazingly, the first letterbox was a very short walk from the clinic. Upon locating the box, we found a stamp of a jumping mini horse inside.
There was also a sign-in or stamp-in sheet. People put their personal stamps in this book and sometimes leave comments on where they are from and the date. It's kind of like sharing a secret with a very select group of strangers.
Lisa had an ink pad and placed an impression of the letterbox's horse stamp into her personal letterboxing book.
It was 55 degrees outside, but pleasant enough, at least until the sun set. Then we were both shivering and our teeth were chattering. When Lisa told me that it is colder in Northern Nevada than it is in New Mexico, it made me want to take a closer look at New Mexico as a place to retire, if not a place to move to get away from my crazy neighbors.
Unfortunately, we had such a tight schedule that Lisa didn't have the pleasure of witnessing my nosy neighbors' shenanigans. I know so many of my blogger friends would love to come to my house and moon them, but the only time we were at my house was late at night and in the wee hours of the morning. The neighborhood was pretty sleepy.
Lisa had to do some pacing to locate the second letterbox. This one was hidden in a juniper bush by the trunk of a tree by an apartment building. Now I understand why only letterboxers would stumble upon these treasures. They are hidden well enough that the average Joe just walking down the street wouldn't even think to dig around in there.
We must have looked like a couple of bums sitting on that tire in the bushes with all that paperwork and trash scattered around us. Every time someone walked by, Lisa said, "We're just eating our lunch here. Just eating our lunch."
Apparently, we looked like we lived there, because someone pulled over to the side of the road to ask us for directions. When we told them we weren't familiar with Reno, I'm sure they were wondering what tourists were doing sitting in the bushes of an apartment building. This is a Reno Rodeo stamp...
This is the Twinville Trekkers stamp...
I think that Lisa found herself a new recruit. I'll have to start thinking about what identity I want to project with my personal stamp. I wish my kids were younger, because letterboxing is something that I would have really enjoyed doing with them. Perhaps I can still get them involved and use letterboxing as an excuse to travel with them. That might be a little more interesting to them than hiking alongside me while I ride a horse.
Thanks to Lisa for sharing this hobby with me. Now when I see people loitering suspiciously in bushes, I'll have a better understanding of what they are up to.

I've never heard of Letterboxing. Interesting. Who sets it up and how do you get your clues?

roflmbo!! I loved, loved, loved this post, NM! I was smiling all the while while reading and enjoying all the photos you took. And I was laughing out loud, remembering us sitting in those bushes and the way we must have looked if anyone noticed us. lol!
I didn't even know you were snapping away while I was stamping. See? You'd be perfect for letterboxing with your stealthiness. heehee!
I'm glad we were able to do some letterboxing together, my friend.
You're right about the early mornings and late nights. I had hoped to take some photos of Gabbrielle, Bombay and Lostine, but it was always too dark, or their noses were buried deep into their hay buckets. hehe!
I'm glad I was able to meet them, though, and give them some petting and treats.
And I'm happy to have met your son, hubby and most of all...you!
Maybe in the future I can meet your nutty neighbors. (And I'll be sure to wear loose underwear, so it'll be easier to moon them. hah!)
Thanks again for your friendly hospitality. :)

What fun! We've done a little letterboxing, but I was enjoying it much more than our kids.
I guess I didn't pass on the pirate gene. :)
Glad you got to go with a pro!

I don't quite understand what letterboxing is. Is it like a scavenger hunt? Anyways, it seems pretty adventurous and interesting.

I think rather than trying to explain letterboxing in a comment or write a more detailed post about it, I'll direct you to Lisa's posts. She has all of her letterboxing posts here: http://laughingorcaranch.blogspot.com/search/label/Letterboxing

Out-swinging was the perfect solution for my application where the rear door was at the landing to the down stairs steps. Form follows function. Another "happy with", high usage door is in-swinging but without a storm door so I wasn't constantly opening two doors. This Southern exposer door was a special-order metal on the outside and wood on the inside.

The England striker has been in good form since his return from injury and the 26-year-old broke the deadlock from the penalty spot against Manchester United in the first leg last week.
Roberto Firmino doubled the home side's lead to give Jurgen Klopp's side a commanding aggregate lead ahead of their return trip to Old Trafford on Thursday night.
Enrique has only made two FA Cup appearances for Liverpool this season after a string of injury problems and a loss of form.
But the Spanish defender joined Sturridge to give racism the red card on Tuesday.

Asphalt Paving Doesn't Last Forever
The use of asphalt for paving has been employed for thousands of years. It is the strongest and most durable material for paving roads, sidewalks, and lots. Despite its durable nature, asphalt paving does not last forever.
Through everyday use, asphalt paving will eventually begin to fade and crack. No matter how durable the asphalt is or no matter how well the asphalt was originally placed, there are several external factors that are working against your surface. Heat and sunlight are major causes of the deterioration of your asphalt surface. Constant hot sunlight will cause inevitable cracking of the asphalt.
Precipitation and cold whether are also major contributors to the destruction of your asphalt surface. Rain and snow can fill the smallest of cracks and then freeze. These frozen areas can cause further cracks and breakage in the asphalt. Finally, automobile use is a significant factor in the breakdown of your asphalt surface. The constant pressure applied by heavy cars and trucks to your surface can weaken your asphalt surface and lead to breakage. It is of vital importance that your asphalt pavement be properly maintained.
Asphalt Patching and Maintenance Specialists
We at Southern Asphalt Engineering Inc. specialize in asphalt maintenance and restoration.

Still warm and humble after his storied success in the NFL, retired wide receiver Jerry Rice spoke to sports radio host Adam Schein in 2007 as part of the 92nd Street Y's "Culture and Ideas" series. Three years after this interview, Rice was named the greatest player in NFL history, but here the legendary 49er focuses more on his work ethic and on his intense preparation than on his natural gifts, referring to autobiographical information contained in his book Go Long!: My Journey Beyond the Game and the Fame. Early on, Schein states that "tonight's real topic is on the awesomeness of Jerry Rice", and listeners will indeed marvel at this venerable athlete and his accomplishments.

Ratings for Dr. Alan M. Kisner
I had a beast augmentation done by Dr. Kisner and from my 1 week post op appointment I LOVED the way I look. His staff of nurses are BEYOND AMAZING! I was taken care of and in the best hands. I def recommend him to anyone looking to get work done.
On January 4th, 2016 at 69 years of old I had a total facelift by Dr. Alan Kisner, Yes is staff is professional, caring and do everything to make one comfortable. Yes Dr. Kisner is professional, caring and well spoken. At the end of the day, with that said, I look fabulous! From the time I put on my gown and went to the OR I felt positive and secure that I knew Dr. Kisner knew who I was, understood what I wanted to achieve and he did it. He was truthful regarding my results and answered every question before the surgery. It took me two years to actually do what I knew I wanted to do. Every visit with Dr. Kisner and his staff they helped me to feel comfortable and positive that I had chosen the right plastic surgeon. Dr. Kisner will spend time with you and outline his procedure. I am delighted, feel good about myself and am grateful that I went to Dr. Kisner. He is tops in his field and knows what he is doing.
I love Dr. Kisner! He gave me a beautiful nose. He was very honest with us and I love going to his office
I had a terrible experience. I had a facelift. He had to redo the surgery twice because it looked like he did nothing and there were deformities, and I'm still in pain with terrible numbness after over two years. He left me looking scarred and deformed and with a terrible noise in my ear from the day of surgery, but denies he had anything to do with it. I saw another doctor who told me he took too much skin off one side of my face, so it can't be fixed now and the skin is away from my ear rather than attached to it and it feels as though there are constant needles sticking in me. I also got a bad infection after the first surgery and was bedridden for a month. Everything he did was terrible and not at all what he promised. I wish I never had the procedure!! He ruined my life!!
cannot speak more highly for the professionalism, compassion, and artistic surgical competence of Dr. Kisner. He did my upper eyelids and I was and am very, very pleased 18 mos after the procedure. I am consulting him on another issue and have referred some friends and colleagues who have had excellent results equal to mine. Highly regard this man and surgeon. Note: I am a healthcare professional with 44 years of experience.
Absolutely wonderful! He is a true class act - in every sense of the word. I did breast augmentation with him 10 years ago. He did such a fabulous job! I recently had another consultation with him for another procedure because I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else! I have so much respect for a doctor who is honest with his patients!!! He talked me out of having surgery. Insisted that I did not need a facelift at this time.
I have been a patient of Dr. Kisner's for several years. I can't say enough about this man. Not only is he a skilled plastic surgeon, he is also one of the kindest people I've ever met. His staff is lovely and they make you feel like family. I would encourage anybody reviewing these posts to disregard the negative comments. As far as the comment made that Dr. Kisner is the (worst) plastic surgeon, it was clearly made by someone that no one could make happy! I am in the cosmetic dentistry field and I see many horrible face lifts, and I mean horrible!! I've never seen anything but natural results come from his skilled hands! ??
I just found this site and decided to write a review. I had Breast augmentation by Dr. Kisner approx 9 years ago and was absolutely thrilled by his work. I loved my breasts from the moment I got them. My only regret was that I should have gone a little bit bigger but again my results were amazing! I currently am in the plastic surgery field and would go back to him if I ever needed them done again that is how much I trust his work! A+ rating!
Dr. Alan M. Kisner is one of the WORST Plastic Surgeons in New York. He Performs botched Plastic Surgeries, is careless and tries to advertise his practice by hiring beautiful women to work for him. Regardless of his years of experience, he is unskillfull, does not have an artistic eye and his work is awful. Also do not let his calm demeanor fool you. As a result of the botched surgeries he performed on me, I am suffering financially and emotionally. If you are considering to have Plastic Surgery I strongly recommend seeking another Plastic Surgeon. He is the worst of the worst. This is my honest detailed experience,
Please do not use this doctor. He did a face lift that left me wishing I had never heard of him. I am left with visible scars and lumps above and below my eyes, nasal-labial lines and wrinkles in neck. I looked better before this surgery. In my opinion he is an incompetent and uncaring doctor.

There are a number of very effect "appliance" style solutions to doing this. Please have a look at RadWare (WSD) and F5 Networks (3DNS); I have had great success with both companies. The bonus is that these solutions can automaticly determine if a server is up. Ken Seefried, CISSP :yegon writes:
we have several servers colocated with several ISP's i am trying to sort out some configuration that would ensure good uptime forcustomersi want to place the html documents of every customer on two separate servers connected to separate ISP's the dns servers will point to one server and the second one will be just a backup, in case the main server goes down we just change the DNS and point the affected domains to the backup server. when the main server is back upthe dns changes back to normaland now my questions: 1. what should the times in zone files be set to to enable the dns change to be propagated very quickly, say 5 minutes max.is it possible/wise to use TTL=02. if a domain has 2 name servers set during registration, are both of these servers used for lookups? Or is it so that just the primary is querried if it works, and the secondary is querried only if the primary is notresponding? 3. is this whole idea worth consideration anyway or should I forget it?thanks for answers Martin Dragun-- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to email@example.com with a subject of "unsubscribe".
