The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
-Wendell Berry

We recently announced a new feature at A Shift of Mind called the Question of the Week. The following is my response to Sherin, who wrote:
"You have said a lot to help people rethink how to live. Since we die a little every day, can you comment on what might happen when we die. If there is nothing or something then that must impact on how we live?"
A wonderful question, Sherin. Our beliefs about death enormously impact our lives. People who hold no beliefs about what happens after death, or equate death with the annihilation of their being, experience life as a countdown toward the end. This sets up an existential despair from which it is very difficult to experience a sense of meaning or purpose in our lives. So, we resign ourselves to instant gratification, consumerism, greed and a host of addictive behaviors. As importantly, we are living in fear of death or in denial of that fear - setting up great stress and anxiety. Many of the psychological and emotional disorders that people experience are underscored by their fear of death.
What we think happens when we die is inextricably woven into how we live. From Tibetan and Buddhist perspectives, life cannot be well lived unless one is prepared for death. I have personally given much thought to these questions and share the following simply as some personal considerations that I'm currently contemplating.

FOX on Tech: Bill Gates Admits Design Mistake [VIDEO]
A common keyboard function PC users have loved to hate is now being called a mistake by Bill Gates.
FOX News Radio's Bill Vitka explains:
Audio clip:
FOX on Tech.
Bill Gates is finally owning up to what the rest of us already know. Why we needed Control-Alt-Delete to log on to our PC machines? Gates says that three finger step, maybe it wasn't such a good idea:
Gates: "We could have had a single button ah, that the guy who did the IBM keyboard design didn't want to give us our single button. And so we had, we programmed a little level that you had to… It, it was a mistake (laughter)
Gates' confession came during an interview at Harvard. The early interface was intended as a security measure. But that hand stretching key combo remains to access a variety of other PC functions.

IH Elders Speak: Do Not Neglect the Gift that is in You
in Culture
The Israelite Heritage (IH) Elders will be speaking about the importance of understanding the gifts that the set-apart spirit of Yah imparts to us. I Timothy 4:10-16 (10) It is for this that we labour and struggle, because we trust in the living Yah, who is the Saviour of all men, particularly of those who believe. (11) Command and teach these matters. (12) Let no one look down on your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in belief, in cleanliness. (13) Until I come, give attention to reading of Scripture, to encouragement, to teaching. (14) Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elderhood. (15) Practise these matters, be in them, so that your progress might be plain to all. (16) Pay attention to yourself and to the teaching. Continue in them, for in doing this you shall save both yourself and those who hear you.
Overcoming the Habit of Self-Neglect
in Women
"It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary." ~ Richard Whately
Do you make a habit of putting yourself on the back burner while you attend to everyone else's needs? How's that working for you? Not to good? Then it might be time to confront the culprit - SELF NEGLECT.
Forgetting to eat, poor nutrition, not getting enough rest, forgetting your medication, burning the candle at both ends. These are all symptoms of self-neglect, and it's time you did something about it. Check your pride at the door and prepare to spend some time on Y-O-U.
Join us for this powerful chat about why and how to stop cheating yourself and start actually improving the quality of your life. Call 646-716-6910 to tune in.

Are the law enforcement community able to abuse, beat, and even kill our children, adults, but we cant discipline our children? We now have law enforcement dressed in paramilitary gear policing our schools under the guise of protecting our children.
Are they there to intimidate our children, even run a school to prison program? Is the public school system what is was years ago? Are there laws being inacted that will allow RFID chips to be put in our children under the guise of child safety. Are school teachers becoming state and government spies who reports what they deem as abuse or other concerns to authorities and "privately run" child protective services? Who are they Child Protective Service Agencies, are they government, or state agencies, or are they private run corporations for profit involved in a form of "human trafficking"? Lets put the facts on the table people. What is the THOR-ality (reality) of private run corporations controlling our lives.
We will look into the issues and more this Friday 11:00 am EST. This is a issue that attacks the family structure and needs addressing. Greg Doss will be a guest on the show and will be interviewed.

The Cat Hoarding and Animal Neglect Epidemic with Dr. Karen Cassiday
in Pets
Every day it seems there are new stories of cat or animal hoarding in the news. You know the cases: The ones where dozens of cats are being housed in terrible living situations, being neglected and abused, and eventually seized by local or federal officials. In this broadcast of Ask The Cat Doctor Talk Radio, we discuss this form of animal abuse and neglect, what drives it, and much more.
To help us understand WHY people hoard animals, Dr. Karen Cassiday, board member at both the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and Beyond OCD Chicago and faculty at the International Obsessive Compulsive Foundation Behavior Therapy Institute and at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, joins us to share her expertise. Dr. Cassiday received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 1990 from the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science and is nationally recognized as an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders in children, teens and adults. You've seen her on Animal Planet, TODAY, and more.
We also talk about some things that have been in the news recently and how they apply to your cats! And as always, we take your questions, whether on this topic or any other topic, since no question is too big or too small! Cat talk radio with feline veterinarian Dr. Shelby Neely is the place to learn everything you could ever want to know about cats. Join us every Sunday and Wednesday and now on Fridays and call or write in with your own personal cat questions at http://www.askthecatdoctor.com/cat-talk.html .

text: 893 FXUS64 KMAF 211242 AFDMAF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 642 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2014 .UPDATE... Update to issue a Dense Fog Advisory for a good deal of the Permian Basin. && .DISCUSSION... Observations at Snyder, Odessa and Midland are indicating dense fog with visibility of 1/4 mile. After a few calls around the area, the same is occurring in locations without observations. Therefore, will issue a Dense Fog Advisory for locations along and east of a Seminole, Kermit, Pecos Fort Stockton and Dryden line. The fog may not be overwhelmingly widespread, but is very dense in the above mentioned locations. Expect improvement to occur around 21/16Z and after as some heating is realized and temperature/dewpoint spreads begin to widen. An update will follow shortly. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 522 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2014/ UPDATE... Update to include fog into the Upper Trans Pecos and northwest Permian Basin. DISCUSSION... Low level moisture continues to spread northwestward into the area this morning, with patchy fog resulting due to lowering temperature/ dewpoint spread. A few locations will have visibility drop to 1/4 mile, but this dense fog will not be widespread enough for a Dense Fog Advisory. Will update the forecast to add fog further west into the Upper Trans Pecos, and northwestward into the northwest Permian Basin. Think the fog/low cloud deck will begin to lift around 21/16Z. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 506 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2014/ DISCUSSION... The latest Aviation Discussion is included below. AVIATION... IFR ceilings will affect KMAF this morning through at least 21/16Z, along with MVFR/IFR visibilities in fog. Satellite trends indicate KINK and KPEQ may also be affected by IFR ceiling/ visibility during this time. It appears no other terminals will be affected. Expect VFR conditions by 21/17Z at all area terminals, but IFR ceilings will likely affect all area TAF sites in the 22/02Z to 22/06Z time frame and after. Thunderstorms will be possible tonight, especially at KMAF, but will forego inclusion this issuance since any storms are expected to occur near the end of the period. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 353 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2014/ DISCUSSION... A potent southern stream upper level low pressure area across southern California will be the main feature of interest the next couple of days. This system will approach the forecast area tonight and Saturday allowing an anomalous late season increase in low level moisture surge northwestward from the western Gulf of Mexico. Strong forcing and impressive upper divergence associated with the upper system should act on a unstable atmosphere and allow thunderstorms to develop along an advancing eastward moving cold front late tonight and Saturday. The best chance of thunderstorms (good chance to likely) will be across the eastern Permian Basin. This area is expected to be in the deepest moisture for the longest period of time. Some of these storms could be strong, producing hail, in the eastern Permian Basin, given elevated capes of over 1000 j/kg, very steep mid level lapse rates, cold air aloft and strong shear expected. Precipitation chances will begin to decrease Saturday afternoon as the system pushes east toward west central Texas. Dry and swift northwesterly flow aloft is expected behind this system Sunday through next Thursday with generally at or below normal temperatures expected next Monday through Thursday. Strong mid level flow will be capable of producing high winds in the mountains particularly across the Davis Mountains above 6000 feet Sunday and or Monday. Later shifts will need to monitor. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

About Gene White
One winter my family and I were on our way to Aruba, 20 years ago, but instead landed in Puerto Aventuras Mexico. You could get a hotel reservation in Aruba but couldn't get a seat on a plane on short notice. Consequently, the Mayan Riviera was our winter vacation destination. It has exceeded our expectations and we haven't looked back.
Gene White purchased this apartment in 1990
Why Gene White chose Puerto Aventuras
The beaches, weather, environment and culture provide a diversified level of attractions for the most discriminating tourist. Over the years the Mayan Riviera has grown to be a world class vacation destination. We decided to purchase a condo here because we could envision the beauty of the people, history and climate equated to everything you would call 'paradise'.
What makes this apartment unique
Our property is centrally located within the gated resort of Puerto Aventuras. The benefits of our condo location are ; a 5 minute walk to the golf course, tennis courts, the Omni Beach Club, restaurants,shops,Dolphin Discovery - swim with the dolphins. All within a 5 - 10 minute walk.
The peace and tranquility of sitting on our balcony in the morning and evening hours are extraordinary. We enjoy watching the fishing, scuba dive, tour boats pass our condo enjoying the front row seat
Guestbook comments from the owner
Gene & Kathie,
Sherry and I would just like to thank you for sharing your villa with us. Not knowing exactly what to expect when we arrived, we were greatly surprised. It was exactly as you described and displayed in photos and then some! The villa was absolutely great. Nicely decorated, clean , and well stocked with all types of things, cleaning, cooking, food and drink. Again greatly appreciated. The only downside was an Internet issue. This you would not have had control over. Arrangements were made with Lothar, and he made Internet available out side the Business office. Just a small inconvenience. This was our first time to stay in Puerto Aventuras. We had visited several times but never over night. Your location is great. Being able to watch the boats come and go is fun. The short walk into the shopping/Dolphin area is perfect. We were centrally located between two sets of friends and this worked out really well. Just a really enjoyable place overall.
I just wanted to comment to you on the staff at PDM2. Katy, Carlos, Lothar and Gabby are really great people. We asked for some information on a few things and they provided that. It was a busy time for them they said with end of month reports. The pool and the grounds around it were cleaned everyday. The walk way and pool apron was power washed while we were there. These are just a few of the things. If I was an owner I would feel confident that my best interest were being looked after by this team. They do a real nice job !
Thank you again,
Steve and Sherry Ozanich

Stewart Fist Article Index
CROSSROADS The Australian, 23 March 1999
Cockies set to get boomersby Stewart Fist
Last week we had a CDMA mobile phone conference in Sydney, and on Thursday Telstra flew journalists down to Swan Hill, Victoria, to show CDMA in action.
Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer turned up to make "the first CDMA call in Australia", although I'd bet it was about number 10,001. I'd also bet that he made ten phone calls before he went on camera, just to make sure he wasn't caught in the spotlight of TV with a dead mobile in hand.
Telstra promoted this news event as confirmation that rural users could cease worrying about losing their analog phones. With CDMA, Telstra and the government had the rural problems solved, was the message.
In reality it wasn't any sort of meaningful launch or trial. It was, however, a significant local demonstration that CDMA is probably as good in a rural setting as the current national AMPS network, in terms only of voice range and quality.
Such a demonstration is a million miles from a real-life trial. Before we can be sure, we need to test such things as hand-offs between base-stations, and especially of the quality-capacity trade-off when networks come under load.
The new Nortel "boomer cell" (high power with special long-distance changes to the electronics) also need to be tested with conventional cell electronics, to ensure that the two can interwork.
Years of experience have shown me that technical demonstrations for journalists are always chosen and controlled in a way that ensures the particular message being promoted gets across, with few questions being raised, and a lot of key issues not even discussed.
And that's what we had here. We now can feel a bit more confident about CDMA in the country, but there's a lot still to be trailed.
The Swan Hill cell site is at the border of Victoria and NSW in flat country on either side of the Murray River. The town has a high communications tower which Telstra uses for microwave telephony links, GSM and AMPS mobiles.
The GSM signal barely makes it outside the boundaries of the town, but AMPS is reliably used for distances of about 40 kilometres. Locals can hold conversations from 'fortuitous' (isolated spot) locations, probably out to 50 or 60 kilometres.
This is one of Australia's best AMPS analog demonstration sites since the country is flat, the mast is high, power transmission is at the top of the range (50 Watts), and the antenna half-sectored -- meaning that it concentrates its transmissions into 180 degrees of arc rather than the full 360 degrees.
The Swan Hill base station also has special low-noise amplifiers on the mast to enable it to pick up distant low-power signals from remote handsets or car-mounted units.
Telstra was therefore able to add its CDMA equipment to this base-station quite easily, since CDMA uses the same frequencies as AMPS, and shares control channels and mast-amplifiers, etc. , This gave them a quick and easy demonstration site to show the distance coverage of a single, relatively isolated transmitter. This is a totally artificial situation, but valid to a limited degree.
Journalists were driven out along a straight western road away from the town, simultaneously holding conversations with a Telstra staff member in Melbourne, while flipping between AMPS and CDMA output.
In general, for the first 30 km, the two signals were comparable in quality and clarity, and for the last 20 km the CDMA was consistently better. However the most noticeable difference in voice quality was due to the CDMA phone being equipped with a voice-activated noise-cancelling microphone, while the AMPS was not.
Of course, we only heard one end of the conversation, and relied on the Telstra staff member in Melbourne to report which was best from his end. Telstra made a lot of play of the AMPS unit in the car being 3 Watts while the CDMA was only 0.2 Watts, but of course for the voice quality we were hearing, the power output matters not one jot. Transmission power only matters when you transmit, not when you receive.
However, given the limits of the demonstration, I think most of us would say that CDMA is probably capable of performing as well as Telstra's current analog coverage in rural areas. There are a few qualifications here.
CDMA adds features like messaging and data capability, but you can't assume that the demo proved that this technology is better for the bush than AMPS. At best you can say that CDMA is probably an adequate replacement for the *present* network.
I'm not nit-picking here: you must remember that AMPS was cut off in its prime. We never really developed the analog system to its full potential.
Coverage is what matters in the bush, and yet Australian never introduced, very-high, stay-stabilised masts, and base-stations with 100 Watt transmitters. Yet these dot the south-west American landscape.
For cities, the main requirement is greatly increased capacity -- while lack of coverage is not a problem. CDMA, provided both vastly increased city capacity and a lower cost structure. IIt also has the potential for high-speed data at rates of 100kb/s to 2Mb/s in the next few years.
Fortunately for us, CDMA has turned out to have relatively good coverage characteristics as well as these capacity improvements - and it may even be as good as the best of American AMPS in a year or two, if Nortel's "boomer cell" theories are right.
But this is only now being checked by Telstra, which is why our national telco panicked last August when Richard Alston and Tim Fischer prematurely announced that their Coalition government had discovered this marvellous new digital mobile technology as an analog replacement, and forced it on Telstra.
At a rally at Wagga during the election run-up, Fischer claimed praise for CDMA, flourished a phone and calling it "the magic wand" that would restore rural mobile telephony without the need for AMPS.
Frank Blount was furious. He complained bitterly and publicly: "Telstra has been working on the new [CDMA] network for 18 months. The government had nothing to do with the plan. The government has not even said 'boo' to me."
His anger at these premature claims were clearly justified. At that time CDMA's theoretical distance limitation was 57.5 km, and in practice it was generally down to about 45 km.
Analog AMPS, by contrast, has no theoretical limit except for the earth's curvature. In practice, it is limited by both power and terrain, but with a 3 Watt car-mounted analog phone it is not uncommon to get distances of 150 km. The vehicle must be stationary at the top of a hill, but this is how many farmers use their phones in rural areas.
The theoretical limit of CDMA is set by a key signal-processing chip in the base-station which has the job of searching incoming signals for codes from the surrounding handsets. Radio signals take a finite time to travel distance, and so there's always a round-trip delay in signals reaching handsets and returning to the base-station.
The expected maximum delay is known as the 'search-window', and the chip is programmed to search only during this time for the individual handset codes. The less time the signal processor spends searching, the better, because it has other things to do in processing the codes.
In the US, where analog remains to fill in the long-range coverage requirements of Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, etc. a CDMA window corresponding to 57 kilometres is deemed to be adequate. But not for Australia where AMPS must disappear.
What Nortel (the Telstra contractor) proposes to do here is to add extra chips (up to three) in their base-stations, each designed to hunt for incoming codes in a series of delayed search-windows. They hope, therefore, to have base-stations which can handle signals from transmitters up to 200 kilometres away.
So far this has only been laboratory simulation. However the idea was recently tested in America over a 100 kilometre link, but using a different radio frequency (the PCS band of 1.9GHz).
Of course, the other requirement for distance and coverage, is that of power. Both the handsets and base-stations need power to span these increased distances - although new sensitive receivers make this less of a problem than before.
Most CDMA handsets output 0.2 Watts at their maximum, but in city areas they average of one-tenth this - which is why they get excellent battery life and are potentially less harmful to humans. Qualcomm does make a 2 Watt CDMA wireless local-loop unit which can be carried in a briefcase and used in a vehicle.
But even with the best possible electronics it is doubtful whether a tiny 0.2 Watt conventional handset could transmit signals over a 100 km, and it remains doubtful whether even the 2 Watt CDMA version will reach 200 km over land -- but it may work over water.
Then they need to test whether these 'boomer cells' can interwork with conventional town and city cells. CDMA phones have a 'near-far' problem, which makes it difficult for handsets close to the base-station to work with those at a distance, and Nortel's boomer cells will increase these problems exponentially.
So CDMA might be OK in the bush, or it may not be. But we can be quite certain that the AMPS could have been better.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday apartment in Grachtengordel (Canal Ring Area) - Grand Sonnenberg
Great for Families and Groups; Gorgeous Canal Views, 3 bedrooms up to 8 Persons
If you are planning on visiting Amsterdam with a group of friends or family, you need to search no further. With a spacious living/lounge/dining area and open kitchen this is a great home away from home. Many guests spend hours enjoying the amazing canal view this apartment has to offer.
Three bedrooms offer sleeping arrangements for 6 persons, while a sleeping sofa (double bed) offer additional accommodation for two more persons. A total of 8 persons can stay here, though its best suited for groups of 6.
This apartment is also suitable to rent when visiting a conference in the Netherlands because of its central location.
You will literally find every type of shop and restaurant around the corner, and any and all of the major sights are within walking distance.
This apartment will offer you insight into the history of Amsterdam itself. It was built over 400 years ago and still boasts many of its original characteristics.
Expanded description follows below, Click on More Details;
This canal apartment is located on the top three two floors. Two flights of stairs are circular and one is a straight flight. One enters the Grand Sonnenberg apartment on the beletage, after climbing a set of stone stairs of half a floor level. All three floors have excellent views of the canals, and there is a bench on the porch as well as one on the canal side.
Behind the front door there is a hallway to the first set of circular stairs leading to a hallway on the first floor of the house. This hallway has a door that leads to the beletage of the Snug Sonnenberg apartment, it is only unlocked when both apartments are rented by the same guests. Practically every room in the house has its own adjustable radiators, it is quite easy to keep this house warm and comfortable in winter. As each room also has windows, it is quite easy to create a nice breeze in the house cooling it down in the summer. There are also fans available on the rare summer days that it is actually hot.
On the first floor there is a toilet in the hallway, and a door to the living/dining room. This floor has a beautiful wooden floor as well as beams supporting the floor above. In the front (canal side) of this floor there is a spacious living area with sofa's (one is a sleeping sofa) and TV. This is a great area to relax after or before a day of exploring all the sights of Amsterdam. You will find an open kitchen and a large dining table that can seat 8 in the back of the floor. The kitchen is fully equipped except for a dishwasher.
It is not hard to imagine enjoying a spending an evening with a good diner and equally good conversations at the dining table with dimmed light shining from the chandelier. With ample heating present, the smells from the kitchen and friends swapping stories at the table, this is typically what the Dutch will call "gezellig". The word "gezellig" is considered to be an example of untranslatability, and is one of the hardest words to translate. Some consider the word to encompass the heart of Dutch culture.
One floor up with the circular staircase there is the floor with one bedroom (twins) in the front, with canal views and the master bedroom in the back (optional with twins, on request). On this floor located in between the two bedrooms is the bathroom, with a toilet, sink, and a bath with shower. The front bedroom has a carpeted floor and the back bedroom a wooden floor, the bathroom floor is marble.
Lastly, of the converted attic floor only the front room is accessible for guests and has twins as well as canal views. The beautiful antique wooden roof-beams are visible here, instilling one with a deep sense of history that is present throughout the entire house.

Location description
The Sonnenberg is located in the canal belt in the part known in Amsterdam as the "nine streets" area.

This area is comprised of nine narrow streets running perpendicular with the four major canals (Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht) of the canal belt. It is distinctly different from other shopping districts as there is a large diversity of privately owned shops and specialized shops.

About Wytse
I grew up in the hospitality business, with my parents running hotels and/or restaurants. Since 2005 I have been actively offering short stay apartment rentals in Amsterdam. In 2008 I purchased the Sonnenberg and have been managing the property ever since.
I love to share my experience of the wonderful city of Amsterdam. In my opinion the best way to see the city is with friends on an open canal boat on a nice day or evening.
My properties all have short stay permits and I operate them as a registered business with the Chamber of Commerce, properly paying taxes both VAT and city tax. This ensures you will not wake up early in the morning to government workers dropping by to check on illegal activities.
Wytse purchased this apartment in 2008
Why Wytse chose Grachtengordel (Canal Ring Area)
The location is one of the most central in the city, and on top of that the property catches some great sun in the afternoon and is located on the most beautiful part of the most beautiful canal of the city.

Jessica Simpson And Family Take Off For The Holidays In A Private Jet
Posted on Fri Nov 21st, 2014 2:30pm PDT By X17 Staff
The blonde beauty is filthy rich, so of course she takes her own plane!
Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson boarded a private jet with their kids Maxwell and Ace today, and we're not sure where they're traveling, but they're certainly doing it in style! It's possible the family was headed to either Texas or Boston to spend the holidays with relatives, but it remains to be seen where they will end up.
Rumor has it that Jess and her hubby are on the verge of a split due their lack of intimacy and her preoccupation with her body, but it certainly doesn't seem that way if they're spending Thanksgiving together. "They are not having much sex," a source dished to Star magazine. "In the beginning of their relationship, she and Eric would cook comfort food together. But now Jess refused to eat after 6 P.M., which leaves Eric to fend for himself at dinner time. He feels like Jessica cares more about her body than him," the source added.
We hope all is well with them, because they are the cutest!

Canadaâs Woodbine Entertainment Uses FOR-A 4K Camera for Racing Coverage of The Queenâs Plate
Toronto, ON â Kicking off the 2014 season of Canadaâs Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, Torontoâs Woodbine Racetrack hosted The Queenâs Plate Stakes last month. The event is the longest continuously run stakes race in North America, and this year marked its 155th anniversary. To ensure not a moment of horseracing action was missed, production of the event included use of FOR-Aâs FT-ONE 4K variable frame rate camera, used in conjunction with FOR-Aâs ZE-ONE 4K extraction system.
âWe used the FT-ONE to give us a slow-motion replay of the finish for our biggest race of the year, and the camera gave us exactly what we were looking for,â said Andrew Barnhardt, Broadcast Technical Supervisor of the Woodbine Entertainment Group. âWith the FOR-Aâs 4K extraction system, we could select the desired HD framing from the 4K raster to get exactly the shot we wanted.â
The ZE-ONE allows FT-ONE operators to frame and extract any 4K image area of any scene for HD replays. The solution provides operators with an intuitive touch-screen interface, allows users to smoothly zoom in or out, and includes an embedded audio delay processor.
Capable of recording up to 900 frames per second (fps), the FT-ONE was used with a FUJINON 85-300mm Cabrio lens (ZK3.5Ã85), and positioned near the finish line of the race to catch all of the action of the last run in super slow motion replay. Coverage of the horse race was shown on The Sports Network (TSN), and footage from the FT-ONE at 420 fps was broadcasted within a minute of the finish of the race on July 6th.
âWe cropped the race shot fairly wide, then used the ZE-ONE extraction system to provide a 200 to 300 percent zoom with full HD quality for playback,â said Andrew Alexander, Vice President of FOR-A Canada, who helped with set-up and operation of the FT-ONE at the event. âWe were also able to track zoomed shots on playback to create specific pan effects.â
âI was confident that FOR-A would deliver for us on the day of the Plate, and fortunately that proved very true,â explained Barnhardt. âWeâve used FOR-A gear in our live production facilities for years, and their reliability is unmatched.â
About FOR-A
FOR-A is a major manufacturer and distributor of video and audio systems to the broadcast, postproduction and professional video markets. For more information about FOR-Aâs product line, call 714-894-3311 or visit our web site at www.for-a.com.

A quick take on Doug Marrone leaving Syracuse:
WHAT HAPPENED: Doug Marrone has agreed to coach the NFL's Buffalo Bills according to reports from ESPN and NFL.com. Marrone had reportedly interviewed with the Buffalo Bills on Friday. He went 25-25 at Syracuse while leading the Orange to two Pinstripe Bowls. Marrone will replace Chan Gailey who was fired last week after posting a 16-32 record.
* Syracuse is still Marrone's dream job. But it doesn't have to be his final job. Also, dreams can change over time. He had to strike while the proverbial iron was hot. If Syracuse goes 4-8 in the ACC next year, suddenly, the NFL isn't calling anymore.
» Sad, upset, angry about Marrone's decision? Leave your thoughts below
* It's hard to turn down NFL money. Marrone was one of the lowest paid coaches in the BCS schools and he will probably be getting three times what he was making.
* Syracuse needs to make a decision now. Do they want to pay someone a good amount to run the program and pony up for some elite facilities? The team needs the equivalent of the Melo Center. With the ACC and MetLife money coming in, SU should use it.
* Scott Shafer should be one of the candidates considered to replace Marrone. The defense has improved dramatically under him, and he knows the recruiting roads well.

* Speaking of recruiting, how does this effect SU's current class? Guys like Zach Allen came to play for Marrone. SU needs to act immediately so that recruits don't start looking around.
* A couple of months ago, Marrone was nearing the hot seat. Now, he's getting a big time raise. Funny how things can change.
* As a Syracuse fan, you have to feel thankful for the Marrone era. Think about all he accomplished in his time. He restored the credibility of the program. He got the recruiting to the level where they were competing for guys like Ebenezer Ogundeko. And he was a great ambassador for the University.
