Hey guys
Very new to this forum, I have found it rather usefull, I need some advice 4 days ago I bought a brand new ford falcon XR6 it is silhouette (black) and it looks like the dealer has washed it with a bath towel It has swirl marks all over it they are not overly bad and they are not that deep although I can see them in direct sunlight and I want them gone.
My question is what products do I need to use I have seen a lot of good reviews on swirl X?
I am planning on doing it by hand as I dont really have access to a buffer so what cloths do I need to use with the products and what technique do I use when trying to remove these marks and after they are gone what washing technique do I use so they don't come back
I am very unhappy that my brand new car came away from the dealer like this but I don't want to take it back to them so they can hide the marks and make it worse then what it already is, i would just rather handle them myself so I know that it is done, I don't want to hide them I want to make them gone if that is possible
i am in Australia if that helps anyone.
Thanks you in advance

Posted in Chocolate Facts, Chocolate Science on March 1st, 2011 by admin – Comments OffThis news is a bit old, but it still cracks me up whenever I think about it. Some researchers in England recently published the results of their study comparing the stimulative effect on the human brain of eating chocolate, as compared with "a passionate kiss". It was written up in an article on the BBC News web site.
Couples had their heart rates and brains monitored whilst they first melted chocolate in their mouths and then kissed…chocolate caused a more intense and longer lasting "buzz" than kissing.
Yaaawn, right? What I find amusing is not what they studied, but what they obviously wanted to study, but were too cowardly to actually try.
An anonymous source within the research team confirms my suspicions, saying this about their original concept:
We wanted to take it further, you know? Really push the limits. We wanted to go beyond Last Tango in Paris.
Oops. That wasn't really one of the researchers; that was Mickey Rourke talking about some stupid movie he did back in the 80′s. But my point is this: They probably won't admit it, but we all know that's what they were thinking! Who cares about comparing chocolate to a kiss? Nobody. They spent their time and someone's money to answer a little question that nobody was asking, while ignoring the big one. Come on scientists! Ask yourselves, "What would Madame Curie have done?!"
In their defense, though, imagine the meeting where they're presenting their research proposal:
Researcher: We'd like to hook people up to the hospital's astonishingly expensive brain imaging equipment and have other people perform sex acts on them. Then we'll give them candy.
Boss: …
Researcher: Uhm. OK. How about if the people aren't necessarily the Dallas Cowboy Cheer Leaders?
Boss: …
Researcher: Well, then. I see you have some reservations. Second base? No nudity?
Boss: …
Researcher: Aww maaan! OK, OK, OK then. Just kissing.
Boss: And they have to be married! To each other!
Thus does humanity remain in a fog of ignorance and superstition. Someday, perhaps in a more enlightened age, science will settle the question of whether chocolate is better than sex. But in the mean time, I suggest we all conduct our own experiments.
Sure, go ahead. Try this at home!

Ansel Adams in Color
As a new book shows, not everything in the photographer's philosophy was black and white
- By Richard B. Woodward
- Smithsonian magazine, November 2009, Subscribe
Ansel Adams never made up his mind about color photography. Long before his death in 1984 at age 82, he foresaw that this "beguiling medium" might one day replace his cherished black and white. In notes tentatively dated to 1949, he observed that "color photography is rapidly becoming of major importance."
Yet he once likened working in color to playing an out-of-tune piano. America's regnant Western landscape photographer tried to control every step of picture-making, but for much of his lifetime too many stages of the color process were out of his hands. Kodachrome—the first mass-market color film, introduced in 1935—was so complicated that even Adams, a darkroom wizard, had to rely on labs to develop it. Color printing was a crapshoot in the 1940s and '50s. Reproductions in magazines and books could be garish or out of register. Before the 1960s, black-and-white film often actually yielded subtler, less exaggerated pictures of reality.
Still, Adams' misgivings did not prevent him from taking hundreds of color transparencies. As he traveled the country on commercial assignments or on Guggenheim Fellowships—a project to celebrate the national parks—he often took pictures in color as well as black and white. A generous selection of these Kodachromes, most created between 1946 and 1948, appears in a new book, Ansel Adams in Color, revised and expanded from the 1993 edition, with laser scans that might have met even his finicky standards.
American motorists of a certain age may have seen some of the images without knowing they were his. The Standard Oil Company (or Esso, a precursor of Exxon) purchased reproduction rights to a number of them to promote driving in America. If you filled up your tank at a Standard Oil gas station in 1947 or 1948, you might have been given an Adams picture—Crater Lake, say, or White Sands—as part of a series the company called "See Your West."
Anyone who walked through Grand Central Terminal in New York City around that time may recall seeing Adams' color work in a more imposing form. His photographs were among those that sparkled in the station's Kodak Coloramas, gigantic transparencies 18 feet high and 60 feet wide that loomed above the commuting throngs in the main concourse. Adams judged these (correctly) to be "aesthetically inconsequential but technically remarkable."
He shot in color because advertisers and corporations liked to present themselves in color, and he liked the money they offered him; by 1935, he had a wife and two children to support. Work in this mode also may have allowed him to keep a sharp psychological distinction between those lucrative jobs and his more personal black-and-white oeuvre, for which he alone was to blame in case of failure.
But almost any technical photographic challenge interested him. He served as a longtime consultant for both Eastman Kodak and Polaroid, and the quest for true and reliable color obsessed both companies for decades. Adams wrote numerous articles for popular magazines on problems with the medium, often touching on philosophical issues. "There is an inevitable conflict between the photometric accuracy of the real color film and the subjective emotional effects of colors in relation to each other," he wrote in a 1949 draft of one article.
The slow speed of early Kodachrome did not allow much beyond portraits, still lifes and landscapes. Stopping action was generally out of the question. To combat the static quality that hobbled photographers who used color during this period, Adams came up with a solution that would become standard: the multimedia slide show. For the journal Photo Notes, he wrote—in 1950!—"possibly one of the most important aspects of the medium would be revealed in the production of 35 mm or 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 slides which would be used in carefully planned projected sequences, using sound track for comment or music."

I have loved Ansel Adams since I was a little girl. Now that I am grown up my house is still decorated with his work. And although I am not your typical college student I believe it would be helpful to add citations to this page. Someone may want to use this material one day.
Posted by Carissa on April 10,2012 | 04:11 PM
Learning photography in the 1960s when I studied it in college meant learning Adams' zone system, using his books as texts. If only he had been able to finish that text on color that Woodward mentions! Since that text wasn't available, and printing color didn't work well yet (unless you could afford dye transfer), the smart students ended up shooting black and white large negatives AND Kodachrome. Print the B&W now, but some day maybe we could really print those Kodachromes. Because of the shape of the toe and the shoulder in the Kodachrome response curves, that film does capture the shadow and highlight details, much better than most digital cameras do (unless the latter use special techniques, which Adams would certainly have explained best!). That detail just doesn't show in the printing unless its processed in ways that were largely unavailable then, and which weren't needed for black and white film processed according to the methods in Adams' texts, which is why we have the impression that Kodachrome lacked that range.

Growing up my father had a b/w Ansel Adams in his office. Every time I looked at that photo, I saw a new picture. There was always a detail, shadow, and overall presence that made me never grow tired of admiring his work.
Posted by Sarah Leyda on November 13,2009 | 09:38 AM
Before reading this article, I never realized how difficult color had been to capture. I take for granted the fact that color today is easy to obtain and everywhere! I love the fact the Adams strived to change the way things were and I am eager to read his new book.
Posted by Ashley on November 12,2009 | 10:50 PM
I had never seen any of Adams's color photographs until now, and I can only say I'm truly amazed at how well he had mastered all forms of film photography. He was truly one of those photographers who "just got it."
This article certainly has inspired me to look into more of his work. I had seen some of his B&W Landscapes, but never much of his urban art. His work never ceases to amaze me.
Posted by Stephen on November 12,2009 | 11:48 AM
Prior to reading this article I had never read Smithsonian Magazine nor had I heard of Ansel Adams.
This article was very informative about Mr. Adams as well being extremely well written, I now have an interest in both.
I really appreciate how thorough and informative the articles published in this magazine are, truly a great piece of literature.
Mr. Adams on the other hand is simply an amazing photographer.
Both his B & W work and color portraits are truly inspiring.
Posted by Caleb on November 11,2009 | 10:13 PM
I met Mr. Adams at his home and workshop in the Carmel Highlands in about 1969, maybe '70. I was a student of one of his students (Al Weber).
I recall he showed us a color print, but he was modest about it and suggested it was the inevitable future of photography but he was clearly more in command of the subject when he talked about his work in black and white.
Around that time Wynn Bullock, one of Adams and Edward Weston's peers took to moving pieces of colored glass he picked up on the shore around on a lightboard, and he would photograph in color the "light paintings" as he called them.
When I saw him do it he was still experimenting with the process, and the results were not on a level with his mystical compositions in black and white.
Posted by Bob Divale on November 7,2009 | 05:57 PM
in comparing Adams's color work to his b/w it is easy to understand why he was so discouraged with the color medium. The photo"s shown here are not indicative of his skill and perception. in his b/w images you see full shadow detail , brilliant high lights with detail . in these color samples. the shadows are blocked , the highlights are washed out. the problem was that the color film in the past were very contrasty and the ability to get full range images was imposable with these materials, especially kodachrome. Kodachrome is notorious for it's blocked shadows . look at any national geographic magazine of that time and you will see this blocked shadows characteristic . the problem with nature photography is that you cannot control the light you have to work with. In b/w Adams could gain great control over the image because the b/w negative film was, and still is "adjustable" , to match the light"s contrast by adjusting the developing process in the dark room. In the color process ,both negative and positive {transparencies] involve three separate films , red, green, and blue, sandwiched together and processed all at the same time. any change in the process would have a different effect on each layer resulting in wild color distortions. there is the dye transfer process that uses three separate b/w negatives shot through red, green, and blue filters and then these can be processed in the same way as regular b/w then the negatives are registered in too one image. See the work of -Eliot Porter- Adams found the dye transfer to time consuming and the fact that if any thing moved during the three exposures the movement would be noticeable with a rainbow effect from the three different colors shot separately. who knows what Ansel Adams could of done with the advent of photoshop and the high dynamic range photography that we have to day.
Posted by dale on November 7,2009 | 01:35 PM
As a genius in the field of photography, Adams understood that the mechanical process of capturing color is very different from the interpretation that the human eye/brain connection makes. Were he alive today in the growing digital age, he would still be struggling with the difference. We can appreciate his mastery of light by converting some of our color photographs to black and white and see how lifeless many of them are, especially without digital manipulation. Every photographer should take the time to try this experiment to truly appreciate Ansel Adams.
Adams, the late Galen Rowell (unique vision and energy) and DeWitt Jones (inside the mind and soul of the photographer) are my guiding lights in shaping my photographic experience.
Posted by John G Schickler on November 6,2009 | 04:44 PM
As a new admirer of his work it is pleasurable to see articles and books still written by him. I think he was a genius and a very insightful photographer who viewed photography from a philosophical point of view.
Posted by Renise on November 2,2009 | 07:48 PM
Interesting to read this article after being friends with a photographer who, I believe, knew Adams, and who also spent years in his own color lab trying to establish, measure, and lock down the variables associated with Kodachrome development, looking at time, temperature, chemistry, etc., and attempting to make a viable, repeatable computer program that would yield a repeatable, predictable, consistent Kodachrome development process and result. It was a huge effort, but I understood that it never was sufficiently successful, and that, ultimately, there developed questions about the longevity of the truth of the color in Kodachrome images over time.
Posted by Robert Nuner on October 31,2009 | 06:49 PM
I have always adored Ansel Adams B&W photographs, having cut my teeth on them at art school in the 1980s. I understand his reluctance to use colour when the outcome was not completely controllable by him. Colour is an added element of design that needs such careful consideration in a composition. His colour photos shown here are quite beautiful, but aren't quite the quintessential Adams we know and love.
Posted by Suzanne Dewhurst on October 26,2009 | 10:04 PM
Although this picture is beautiful, I prefer Adams' black and white photos. There's such beauty in the starkness of them.

It is difficult to imagine what life was like before sandwiches. What more efficient way is there to convey tasty ingredients into your mouth than by layering them between two slices of bread?
Baristaville has an abundance of great sandwich places, from humble delis to sophisticated gourmet shoppes. Recently, I embarked on a sandwich tour of our area. Reader, it was delicious. Here is part one, which covers sandwich standouts in SOMA. Next up will be Montclair and environs (let me know if there is a place I absolutely cannot miss.)
Town Hall Deli: No serious discussion of sandwiches in New Jersey is complete without the Sloppy Joe. This uniquely Garden State creation can be found throughout Baristaville, but the place where it all started nearly eighty years ago is South Orange's Town Hall Deli.
A classic joe consists of ham, tongue, and Swiss cheese, topped with cole slaw and Russian dressing, piled on three layers of thinly-sliced Pullman rye bread. This is a sandwich for sharing – just one can feed two or three people (and costs almost twenty bucks).
Owner Tony Wonski said that although tongue remains a popular choice, the most-ordered item on the menu is The Favorite, made with roast beef, turkey and Swiss.
"On an average day we make about 80 Sloppy Joes," said Wonski, "but on New Year's Eve, Christmas Eve and Superbowl Sunday we make around 800." That is a lot of sandwiches, especially since it takes about ten minutes to carefully construct each one.
What makes Town Hall's the best? "We make all the ingredients here, the bread is fresh and we make our own dressing with our secret recipe," said Wonski.
Town Hall ships sandwiches several times a week to such far-flung places as Florida and California, for New Jersey expats who can't do without their joe fix.
Maplewood Deli and Grille: After the sloppy joe, the Golf Tee is the most popular choice at this cozy, classic deli on Maplewood Avenue. This sub combines roast beef, turkey, Swiss, lettuce and tomato, onion, oil and vinegar, oregano and salt and pepper.
What makes it so delectable? "I think it's the way we dress them," said Mike Helfrecht, who expertly made me a Golf Tee in record time. "Plus, the Russian gives it an extra kick – and the portion size helps too!"
"We make everything in house," said owner Sean Flood, "including the roast beef and dressing." It shows in the sandwiches, which are perfectly made and completely delicious.
How did this sandwich get its unusual name? "The golf tee was invented right here in Maplewood," said Flood. Who knew?
Crane's Deli and Cheese Shoppe: With such a well-curated selection of sandwiches on the menu here, it is tough to choose just one standout. My many favorites include the mozzarella and basil with sundried tomato pesto (I like it grilled), the tangy pan bagnat and the grilled chicken with roasted chile peppers. The BLT, made with roasted tomatoes and herb mayo, is a standout in its genre.
But according to owner Steve Crane, the most consistently popular choice for customers is the BBQ Pork Sandwich. The menu describes is as "slow cooked pulled pork with North Carolina style barbecue sauce, topped with homemade coleslaw on a soft roll" – but I would simply describe it as finger-licking good.
"It's our own secret recipe barbecue sauce, and we make the slaw with red and green cabbage, mayo and a little bit of sugar," said Crane. "It's kind of our go-to sandwich."
Millburn Deli: If you've never had a sandwich order accompanied by bell-ringing and horn-honking, you haven't lived. At the Millburn Deli, that's what happens when customers order the signature creation known as The Gobbler.
The sandwich itself, a Thanksgiving dinner redux, is an addictive mélange of roast turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo served on a soft white bread.
But then there's the fanfare. When a customer orders one, the sandwich maker rings a bell, honks a horn and yells out in a voice that can be heard throughout the deli: "Gobbler!" The staff responds with a chorus of Gobbler cries and cheers – to the amusement, bafflement and occasional embarrassment of the unsuspecting patron.
How did this odd but endearing tradition take hold? "When we first created the sandwich in 1994, we needed a way to signal the staff to heat up the stuffing as soon as an order came in," said Andrew Morgan, whose family has owned the deli since 1991. "Whoever took the order would call out "Gobbler!" so the staff could hear, and it kind of grew from there."
Customers in the know sometimes will call ahead with their Gobbler order and specifically request that the staff hold the entertainment. But most people love it. "Seventy five percent of our customers think it's hysterical and get upset if we don't do it," said Morgan.
Mia Famiglia: This first-rate Italian deli and grocery store has already been praised on Baristanet. The signature sandwich here is the eggplant wedge: lightly fried balsamic-marinated eggplant, smoked mozzarella, roasted pepper and arugula. It's served on "pitza" bread from Nicolo's in Montclair.
Owner Manny Licitra speculated on the sandwich's popularity. "I think because it's vegetarian, but it has the meaty taste of the smoked mozzarella," he said. It also is perfectly balanced, with the crispy eggplant playing nicely off the pleasantly bitter arugula and the rich and creamy cheese.
Licitra, who has owned Mia Famiglia for 15 years along with wife Sharon, urged me to come back to try the piadina: fresh ricotta, prosciutto and arugula on a multigrain flatbread. "It's really unique," he said.
ItalMart: This tidy and unassuming place in West Orange looks like a basic, almost bare-bones deli. A friend tipped me off to the specialty that reveals the ItalMart's true Italian spirit: the Signature Chicken Cutlet Sandwich. Made with thin, perfectly fried chicken cutlets, fresh mozzarella, garlicky housemade roasted peppers and fresh arugula, dressing with balsamic and served on crusty bread, this is a sandwich to crave.
Owner Joe Vece bought the place from a friend just nine months ago, and he plans to change the name to Giuseppe Caterers. "That's the name of my catering business, which is 80% of what I do," said the friendly and culinarily skilled Vece.
So far, he has expanded the menu and plans to add even more dishes. "I make everything fresh, to keep it old-school Italian." The deli draws a lot of neighborhood regulars who keep coming back for those fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers, among other items.

BOZEMAN - They asked and you responded. Hundreds of local residents answered the call regarding what to do with the Story Mill property.
According to project manager for the Trust for Public Land, Maddy Pope, more than 650 people responded to the survey. The survey gave the public a chance to weigh in on some of the options for the Story Mill property.
Back in December, the Trust for Public Land announced, along with American Trust Bank, an agreement that could transform the 61-acre property into a new city park. While the trust for public land hasn't had a chance to analyze the surveys, Pope did say they received a great response from a wide variety of residents.
The results from the survey will be released during a community workshop at the Emerson Cultural Center Feb. 7.

The Financial Services Bill 2012 applies equally to Scotland, but lawyers Brodies ask, what happens if Scotland opts for independence? "It seems highly unlikely that Scottish voters would favour the introduction of the euro, if the outcome of a referendum favoured independence. Scotland might retain sterling as its preferred currency. It seems likely that an independent Scotland using the pound sterling as its currency would have to adhere to the main provisions of the Bill if it wished to be part of a sterling currency union."
But they suggest an alternative-a parallel universe; "An independent Scotland might decide to establish its own central bank, issue its own currency and/or set up its own financial services regulatory regime. It could be argued that this might prove to be less complex and less restrictive than the alternatives."
They provoke debate; " In light of Scotland's heavy dependence on the financial services sector this is a subject which will need to be thought through in great detail since the implications of any policy decisions could have a significant impact on the country's competitive position. A good deal of financial regulation emanates from Brussels and is then implemented in detail by individual member states. At present, almost all financial services regulation applies equally across all parts of the UK. This makes it relatively easy for firms to develop common forms and procedures which can be used for transaction throughout the UK."
There are several insurers based in Scotland who sell more outside Scotland than at home, so they may have to choose whether to stay in Scotland or move to England.
Brodies speculate, "If Scotland were to become an independent country, would we see the emergence of a new Scottish Financial Services Regulator? This is a crucial question since Scottish businesses sell regulated products to consumers in all parts of the UK and businesses in other parts of the UK sell regulated products to Scots."
The lawyers may frighten Scottish insurers with their next suggestion, " Might it require firms operating in Scotland to develop different requirements for financial promotions or documentation for use with financial services products in Scotland?"

Rafael van der Vaart, Giovani dos Santos and Danny Rose all leave Tottenham Hotspur but are Hugo Lloris and Joao Mountinho coming other way?
3:58pm Friday 31st August 2012 in Sport By Anthony Matthews, Group Sports Editor
Rafael van der Vaart has become the third player to leave Spurs – and the signs are a frenetic last few hours of deadline day activity at White Hart Lane are set to continue.
The Dutch international midfielder has joined Hamburg on a three-year deal after Giovani dos Santos moved to Real Mallorca, while Danny Rose has gone to Sunderland on a season-long loan.
However, two players who could be heading for the Tottenham entrance, rather than exit, are Hugo Lloris and Joao Mountinho.
The Lyon keeper has reportedly arrived in London for talks, while Spurs are also said to be closing in on the Portugese star for a fee in the region of £22m, which would be a club record.

This is very exciting, there are so many songs from the 50's I'd love to have in Rock Band but no doubt the original masters have either been lost or destroyed, but having versions not by the original artist would still be fine with me for such classic songs. I'm not sure how it works with public domain now, is it still life of the original author plus 70 years? In which case we're not likely to get Chuck Berry for a long long time yet (he's still rocking at 84 years old)

Human Resources Certification
The SHRM Learning System *NEW DELIVERY FORMAT*
Kent State University at Stark will be offering The SHRM Learning System in a new format beginning in September 2013. This 12-week program which Kent has offered over the past 5 years, will pilot a blended learning arrangement by combining our traditional classroom interactions with an online, real-time learning environment. It is designed to provide a flexible, enjoyable and effective learning experience as well as convenience to participants who desire to prepare for the PHR or SPHR Certification exam for the upcoming testing cycle. In this program, half of the contact hours will be held face-to-face in a classroom setting while the other half will be face-to-face in a synchronous (real-time) online learning format. During the synchronous format, you will be able to join the sessions from your home, office or any location with internet access, see the PowerPoint slides and other materials as well as our seasoned facilitator, Diane DeRubertis, on your computer while you listen to her give her lecture. Through a chat feature, you will be able to raise your hand to ask questions and provide input to discussions. In addition, the online lectures will be recorded, so you have the opportunity to review the content later at your own convenience.
Offered in partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the curriculum is designed by subject matter experts, covers the most up-to-date HR Certification Institute body of knowledge and ranks as the #1 certification preparation program for consistently helping professionals beat the national pass rate. The SHRM Learning System provides HR professionals with more content, tests, learning tools and access to expert advice than any other PHR/SPHR exam preparation program. Printed materials are updated annually and online study tools are portable and convenient, with access to online tests, flashcards, and resources via iPhone, Blackberry, Palm Pre, Windows Mobile, or Google Android.

New "Plan to Pass" Tool
Setting a realistic study plan is critical to your success. SHRM has created a valuable tool called "Plan to Pass" that guides your studies. It takes your score from the pre-test (included in the SHRM Learning System) factors in your level of HR experience and creates a study plan based on areas that require the most attention. You can also track your progress as you study to ensure you're reaching your goals.
Certification Information
The HR Certification Institute requires HR professionals planning to sit for the PHR or SPHR exams to have a combination of demonstrated work experience and education. For eligibility information, visit www.hrci.org/Exam_Eligibility/.
All certification testing is computer-based and conducted at the 250 Prometric Test Centers around the country. For best results, schedule your certification exam for a date that is after the end of your particular class section. For information on the exam and how to register, visit www.hrci.org/HRCertification/. While no single course of study guarantees success on the HR Certification Institute examinations, thousands of individuals have used the SHRM Learning System to effectively prepare for the exams.

I was glad it wasn't as cold as it was the last couple of years. It's a cute little event and the Salvation Army knows how to make a mean cuppa cocoa. None of that watered-down stuff!
I gotta say this too, I think it's great that they had a photo opportunity that was manned by someone who would take your family's picture with YOUR camera. They did that at the Fantasy of Trees, too. So many of these events feature a photo area, but then you are made to purchase a over-priced photo. Everyone has a camera at these things and it's very nice that they don't try and gouge you with their pictures. It's also nice to actually be in a picture with your family. The photographer in the family never gets to be in the pics. Years later, my kids are gonna wonder if mom ever did any family activity with them, lol!
Excellent post! +1

This post will probably get me banned but what the heck...
First I would like to say thanks.
The trade in program for the Red One is truly incredible. I appreciate both Stage 2 and Stage 3. No other equipment manufacturer, in my experience, has ever offered such a great deal. I am thrilled that some of my "Moore's Law Cost" has been offloaded by Red. Thank you, Red Team. I really mean it.
And yet...
When I sent in my Stage 3 Red for "evaluation", I was told it needed a fan motor and an eSATA cable assembly. I found this curious, as the fan seemed fine to me, and the eSATA cable (being inside the camera) would only ever have been handled by Red technicians at Red's service center. But it was only a few hundred bucks so I paid the vig, as it were, and moved on.
In conversation with other redusers, I discovered that they, too, had all paid a few hundred for little repairs. One friend joked with me, "I wish they had just said there was a $300 handling fee".
Now I have sold my Stage 2 body. This was my more reliable camera. No problems as of late. When the guys who bought it came to look at it, we ran the camera through its paces. When we shipped it, I was curious to see if there was going to be a repair. After all, this time they were paying $750 (!) for an "evaluation/ transfer" so I figured that might play into it. Wellllllll..... once again, a new fan was needed. OK. But there was also a diagnosis of " The camera was unable to record and as such a rework of the internal camera power board assembly was required." WHHHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTT????????????
This is a camera that has been totally reliable. The buyers and I tested all my media, recorded clips, no errors, no dropped frames, no trouble. The camera has always recorded. It has never NOT recorded. The only time the camera has supposedly NOT recorded was two days ago at Red Headquarters.
It's no skin off my nose, but it's a big deal for the buyers, and it makes me look like some sort of scamster. Needless to say, I have questions.
So what gives, Red Team?

If you are like 47% of the American population, you believe that you are personally responsible for doing something to help the environment. Chances are, you already have adopted some sort of green practice into your life — whether it is simply recycling, or turning the lights off when you leave a room. Chances also are that there are many additional things you could be doing to reduce your impact. Curious as to what they are? Luckily, a personalized action plan is only a few clicks away.
Scott Ankeny, Founder of GoingGreenToday.com, grew up with an appreciation for nature. Spending his youth living on both a beach and a ranch, he loved the idea of treading lightly. He started GoingGreenToday.com (GGT) in hopes of creating "lasting environmental and social change by making change simple to do and personally rewarding."
GoingGreenToday.com is a website that offers you the ability to quickly gain information about how you can "be green and still operate in the 'real world' where you have families to care for, errands to run, work, and social lives." Sign up for GGT by filling out a simple survey about your lifestyle, and you will receive a personalized action plan within a few minutes. Thereafter, you will receive a daily action to complete, along with details of exactly how that action benefits the environment AND you. Complete the action plan and Scott guarantees that not only will you have reduced your carbon footprint by 1/3, but you will also have saved $2,000 throughout the year.
"The program works because although we are altruistic, the truth of the matter is that we wake up and have to prioritize our day," Scott says, "If you know you can do something that will save yourself $5.00 or $105.00, don't you think you will do it?"
Comprised of information that Scott spent 3 years collecting from over five thousand sources, GGT seeks to empower the individual to play their part in a collective effort toward environmental sustainability.
"I listen to politicians talking about what we are going to do by 2050, and that is just ridiculous. The average person doesn't think in half-centuries," Scott says, "We don't need help to do this, and we don't need to be saved. It starts here. It starts with the individual."
Scott hopes that GGT will start a movement, and that his platform will make it possible to inspire others to take action by word of mouth. If GGT can inspire 33% of the population to participate, our outlook will be much more promising.
As you can find in GoingGreenToday.com's manifesto, their targets are threefold:
Stage 1:
To start the GGT "1/3" movement by inspiring 1% of the U.S. to take take action with [the] program—1% is the needed number in any population to start a movement. This is 3.1 million Americans…3.1 million people who have reduced their carbon footprint by 1/3, and collective savings of $6,200,000,000.
Stage 2:
To create lasting social change by inspiring 10% of the U.S. take action with [the] "1/3"program —10% is the needed number of any population to solidify the "No Going Back" point. This is 31.3 million Americans…31.3 million people who have reduced their carbon footprints by 1/3, and collective savings of $62,600,000,000.
Stage 3:
To reach the Saturation point with 33% of the U.S. taking action with [the] "1/3" program —the number needed to achieve a 27% total U.S. carbon reduction, which is the number called for by the Kyoto Protocol. This is 103.3 million Americans…103.3 million people who have reduced their carbon footprints by 1/3, and collective savings of $206,600,000,000.
When it is broken down this way, victory does not seem so far out of reach. We don't have to wait until 2050 to make a difference. We can do this today! Sign up for GGT and see what your action plan looks like! You can even register with Facebook to further tailor your action plan to your lifestyle.
Thank you Scott and GoingGreenToday.com for making a difference, and helping us to do the same!

Where did you go? Were did those big consecutive days go? Are you coming back? Have a nice weekend! Ron
Typo - coved = cover. :)
I'm home from hospital, wish I had some greens now! Still not able to eat much, or very well for that matter. I take smoked turkey legs, thighs and wings, let them rip in the crockpot overnight. Let them cool a bit. Put the greens in the crock with the juice from the turkey. I love Campbell's condensed chicken broth, I put in two cans. Take all the meat off the bones and add to crock. I add salt, pepper, garlic powder (just a bit) and then I lay the bones on top of the greens. Coved, let cook on low for about ten hours. Sheer heaven! Remove bones, stir well and enjoy! Hope you are well!
Thanks for the collards recipe. I've been in the hospital for the last ten days and didn't get to write back. Got my points and that was all! What does your T-shirt say?

DALLAS - A representative for former U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison says the Texas Republican would not consider a position in President Barack Obama's Cabinet.
Hutchison served two decades in the Senate before deciding not to seek re-election last year. She was mentioned in one report as a possible successor to Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, also a Republican.
Hutchison's executive assistant, Melinda Poucher, said in an emailed statement Friday that Hutchison "would not consider a cabinet position of any kind." Poucher says Hutchison hasn't decided what she'll do next, but expects to pursue a private sector career.
Hutchison is a former top Republican on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
Obama has been criticized by some Democrats for not appointing enough women to senior posts.

Perhaps hoping that the second time will be a charm ... Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) announced Tuesday that it has submitted the final components of its response to the United States Air Force's request for proposal (RFP) for its Light Air Support (LAS) Program. SNC is partnering with Embraer to provide the A-29 Super Tucano counterinsurgency aircraft to meet the LAS mission requirements. The two companies teamed together and previously won the competition only to have the contract set aside following a lawsuit by the disqualified competitor. The A-29 Super Tucano is the only aircraft in the competition that is currently in use with military around the globe and performing counterinsurgency and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations.
SNC is participating in the new LAS source selection process while it also pursues court action to reinstate the contract awarded to it last December.
"Our goal one way or the other is to get the LAS capability into the hands of those who need it in the most expeditious, fair and transparent manner," said Taco Gilbert, Vice President of ISR Business Development at SNC. "We have the most capable LAS aircraft and our overall solution meets the needs of our warfighters and allies on the ground in Afghanistan today, while also providing significant value to the American taxpayer."
The LAS mission requires a ready-to-go, non-developmental aircraft designed to operate in a counterinsurgency environment and extremely austere conditions at a significantly lower cost than a fighter jet. Yet, it must be able to deliver a wide variety of munitions and provide most of the technological and communications capabilities of a modern fighter. Embraer and SNC cay the A-29 Super Tucano was purpose-built for counterinsurgency and light air support missions. It is currently in use or on order with nine militaries on three continents to provide security, light air support, advanced training, and armed ISR operations. It has a rugged platform and high, broad stance that provides stability on rugged terrain and enables take-off and landing on unprepared runways.
"The need for the LAS capability in Afghanistan hasn't changed, it's only become more urgent," said Gilbert. "While nearly a year and a half has passed since the original RFP was issued, the A-29 Super Tucano remains the only aircraft in the running that is combat-proven and capable of meeting the needs of commanders in-theatre today."
While the original RFP contained a flight demonstration, the amended version contains no such requirement. With more than eight years in service and more than 160 aircraft delivered, much is known about the performance, operational effectiveness and costs to operate and maintain the A-29 Super Tucano. The A-29 Super Tucano fleet has achieved an average of over 84 percent availability and 99 percent mission effectiveness.
The A-29 Super Tucano aircraft to be provided under the LAS contract will be built in the U.S. in Jacksonville, Florida, by American workers with parts and services from some 70 US companies. Approximately 86 percent of each aircraft's dollar value will come from components supplied by U.S. companies or countries that qualify under the Buy American Act. In all, more than 1,200 American jobs will be supported through the contract, including the creation of new aerospace jobs in Jacksonville. Embraer will invest approximately $3 million in bringing the U.S. production facility on line. The facility, its first defense-related operation in the U.S., will complement its growing U.S. operations.
"Embraer's U.S. roots go back more than 30 years to 1979 when we established our first U.S. company in Ft. Lauderdale. Since that time, we have invested $115 million in facilities and infrastructure here," said Gary Spulak, President of Embraer Aircraft Holding. "While other companies are moving industrial and research and development operations out of the U.S., we see tremendous opportunity and a highly talented aerospace workforce here."
"We are offering the U.S. Air Force the low-risk solution. Our aircraft is operational today and its performance and costs are well-documented," said Gilbert. "SNC and Embraer are strong and growing companies that are investing in the U.S. and creating new jobs here. Both companies are here to stay." (Images provided by Embraer)

text: 20 September 2004 archive Tweet See all show photos THE buzz around TopShop-sponsored New Generation designer Bora Aksu is ever-growing and with this latest Biba-esque collection, it's easy to see why. It's Seventies all the way for Aksu, from the oversized sunglasses to the headscarves, to the high-waisted flares. But despite choosing to take inspiration from a decade that some might say has been re-visited to death of late, this feels fresh. Multi-layered asymmetric chiffons in the season's favourite mint flavour, lemon, oyster and orange floated effortlessly down the catwalk screaming 'wear me and feel retro-fabulous'. We think it safe to assume that you'll be seeing key pieces on the likes of Sienna Miller and Kate Moss before you can say 'hot new name'. (September 20 2004, PM) Continue reading Back to top


text: Bryan Babcock is a cutting-edge winemaker named by the Los Angeles Times as one of the "Ten Best Winemakers of the Year" and voted "Most Courageous Winemaker of the Year." Part of his bold and daring reputation stems from his outspoken embrace of liberty and the ideas put forth by Ayn Rand. "I don't walk around thinking about Ayn Rand, John Galt, or Atlas Shrugged every second of the day, thinking about how I can make this [vineyard] be like Galt's Gulch. But if it was Galt's Gulch, the government would not be permitted to take one step on the property," says Babcock. "John Galt is the guy in fiction that Patrick Henry [was in] real life….And the world needs a few of those. The world needs an Atlas to hold up the globe. The world needs a John Galt or a Patrick Henry to say, 'Freedom is a good thing, man needs freedom, we've got to be free.'" Approximately 10 minutes. Babcock was interviewed by David Nott. The segment was filmed and edited by Alex Manning. Production assistants were Seth Goldin and Ryan Seals. This video is part of the Reason.tv series Radicals For Capitalism: Celebrating the Ideas of Ayn Rand.

It's evening. When will people (Americans?) finally grok that internet is international, and that the country they live in is just one of many countries...
Didn't they just got their legs run off?
"Computer Science or Engineering". When do programmer boys -also the "professor" ones forever walking the halls of "computer science" "universities" finally get it:
Your text is misleading; the difference is only between worse and better craftsmen.
If we got articles like this every time some very slow mind discovered some very basic functionality in some very basic software,
Hummm, who actually wants this? I mean "Microsoft", "Metro"
There's probably many more angles to reply to this. Naming just a few:
One thing would be the
Another point: the rules are outdated with repsect to information we give to companies: a) Much information we actually don't
Another: (Extension of above) We don't simply "willingly" share; we are coerced into giving up this data, it's just that not all people see it as clearly as that (even so many do, and many more would if explained and explicitly asked), and even fewer are vocal about it. But it's still the case. So the question posed by this government is actually flawed to begin with.
Aha, a karma whore. Well, I might be mentally retarded in your view, but that mostly just gives good insight on your own mental capacities
You are probably too young and unexperienced to have seen the fallout of the first ten years of centralised computing on Windows platforms, it was hell, outright hell.
Properly implemented centralised computing can be good for a few scenarios, like the one you mentioned. Problem is that Citrix has taken around 10 years to come anywhere close to maturity, but has been forced long before that already upon troves of unsuspecting and understandably unwilling clients. Further it really is outright unfit for quite a number of use cases. And finally, maybe most importantly though rarely touched upon, is that to properly manage (not technically, but "IT manage") such an environment, really big changes have to be made in IT departments, which rarely happened. And still rarely happens.
Maybe things have dramatically changed in the last few years, but at least until a few years ago, SuckTricks was indeed, as you say so colourfully, "shit".
Let's hope this starts the downfall of all Centralised Desktop Terror Computing (CDTC, t/m); too many people have been forced into utter frustration and unproductiveness for far too long already by SuckTricks and like products.
That sounds pretty final to me
"Imperial: Bringing down rockets, satellites and planetary orbiters since 1957".
It's retarded morons like you that can bring a whole country to standstill. If you're not willing to improve becuase you see no benefit, you're voting for regression, becausae other WILL improve. And you will fall victim to those others who do
And especially the "ehance your [own] life" argument is really often-stated, but nonetheless really, Really, REALLY dumb. "Mhooo; I see no enhancement in my own limited 1 foot [sic] range of sight, so it must be worthless".
... and labels are superior to folders (objectively so--they do the same thing as folders, only with an added feature)...
You are a fool. Probably a developer or so.
Labels are not superior to folders. Yes technically they offer more possibilities than folders. No that's not necessarily a good thing.
Having a predefined structure that you thought about, that is always visualised, and which fits for you to place all your mail in, is far better usabilty than being forced to attach zero, one, up to infinite criteria to each mail each time you receive one; It costs more time, your set of criteria will grow to infinity over time, you will get double labels meaning the same, you will not label emails in the same class with the same labels over time. In the end you are left with a bizarre pile of puke that has become usable only by searching it. And for searching a pile of puke you do not need labels.
Labels are very much inferior to folders.
And by the way, dargging in gmail sucks mightily, just like any other functionality. Both Yahoo mail and even Live Mail (sic!) are enourmously better, go figure what that means
Maybe that will give them time to finally build and support a 64 bit version.
32 Bit should be the exception nowadays, but apparently they decided to drop (!) any further 64 bit effort...
Yeah, i also still play 8 bit Commodore 64 games on my computer, perfectly normal
If somebody understands that 64 bit killoff please explain to me...
During my study I thoroughly enjoyed this leisurely paced introduction to Lie groups:
This law is for music (and I believe movies) only. Not for software.
Further: There is a semi-government institution that collects the money and gives as little as possible of it to actual artists, while keeping millions with themselves and "rewarding" their directors big time.
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing for money.
