iPhone 5s preview: iSight camera combines improved sensor, smarter image processor, makes everyone a better photographer
Everything you need to know about Apple's new f/2.2, 1.5 micron iPhone 5s iSight camera with improved A7 image signal processor and 120fps slo-mo video mode!
The iPhone 5s continues to showcase Apple's attention to their camera technology, iSight and FaceTime HD both. Once again hardware and software combine to create photos and video far better than the sum of their parts. That includes a bigger sensor with 1.5 micron pixels and an f/2.2 aperture. It's also includes an intelligent burst mode, a dual LED with white and amber elements, electronic image stabilization to reduce blur, and slow mo mode lets you record 720p video at a silky smooth 120fps. Here's how Apple describes it:
iPhone 5s features advanced technologies custom designed for the iSight camera's hardware and software. So anyone anywhere can take an amazing photo at any time. It simply makes more sense to teach iPhone how to take a great picture rather than teach people how to be expert photographers. Here are just some of the capabilities of the new iSight camera.
The original iPhone camera wasn't great. It was 2 megapixels (2 million pixels), which was okay for normal, snap-shot sized photos, but like most camera phones at a time the overall quality was poor. It's only claim to fame was the interface and convenience that came from being built in. The iPhone 3G, which was more of a radio bump than a true next-generation device, kept the same camera. With the iPhone 3GS, however, Apple moved up to a 3mp sensor and added VGA video recording. VGA is 480p (640x480), a far cry from today's HD standards.
The iPhone 4 began Apple's shift away from megapixels and towards taking better pictures. Often times, to inflate megapixel counts, some cameras will simply chop the sensor into smaller and smaller pixels. That, however, causes each pixel to capture less light. What Apple did is increase the sensor to 5mp but keep the pixels the same size as the previous version, 1.75 microns. An f/2.8 aperture, they added a back-illuminated sensor (BIS), which moves wiring out of the way so it's even better at capturing light. A LED flash came along for the ride, for those situations where there simply wasn't enough natural light to get any usable picture, and high-dynamic range (HDR) was also added in a software update. That meant the iPhone could take three photos in rapid succession, one under exposed, one properly exposed, and one over exposed, and merge them together in software to reveal more detail in both dark and light areas than the camera could normally capture on its own. At the same time, Apple increased the video quality to 720p (1280x720), and introduced its first front-facing camera, albeit 0.3mp and VGA video.
The iPhone 4S went to to 8mp and 1080p. The pixel size dropped to 1.4 microns but the BIS was improved, the lens was widened, and the aperture was brought to f2.4 to improve low-light performance. Apple also added a fifth piece of glass for better sharpness, and an infrared (IR) filter for better color. They also started to focus on the image signal processor (ISP), a part of the new Apple A-series chipset dedicated to improving photography. It provided facial recognition, image stabilization, and better focusing and white balance.
The iPhone 5 took all of that and, amazingly, squeezed it down into a much thinner package. Arguably, Apple could have made a better camera by staying with the same depth as the iPhone 4S, but that wasn't the priority. Not only did they manage to keep the iPhone 5 camera every bit as as good, they managed to get in some improvements as well. A new dynamic low-light mode made it, theoretically, 2 f-stops better in certain situations. The 5 glass elements were more precisely aligned for even better sharpness, and the surface was switched to sapphire for increases strength and scratch-resistence. The front-facing camera also got a much bigger boost, to FaceTime HD 720p. Panorama mode came with the software, which allowed the iPhone to automatically stitch together a contiguous series of pictures into a single, combined, massive 23mp ultra-wide photo.
Photon collectors
The iPhone 5s is still 8mp but once again Apple has increased the sensor size, this time by 15 percent. It brings the pixel size to 1.5 microns, and the aperture to f/2.2. All of that is designed to, you guessed it, allow more light to be captured. It's not as extreme on either end of the spectrum as the 13mp, 1.12 micron, f/2.2 Samsung Galaxy S4 or the 4mp, 2 micron, f2.0 HTC One, and as compromises go, it's a good one.
It's the ISP, stupid
Thanks to the Apple A6 ISP, the iPhone 5 at a year old still managed to take better "every day" photos than newer phones with cameras that looked much better on paper. Even cameras with optical image stabilization (OIS), which out-shoot the iPhone in low-light, low-motion settings, couldn't beat it at general purpose photography. It turns out the chipset and the software inside are just as important as the glass on the outside.
With the Apple A7, the ISP is getting a whole new range of functions. In addition to the auto white balance, auto exposure, and face detection features previously introduced, the A7 version now creates a dynamic local tone map to better balance highlights and shadows. It's not quite the same as HDR, but it does provide for images that are less likely to be swampy or blown out. The iPhone 5s camera also does autofocus matrix metering, which means it measures 15 focus zones to make sure it gets the best exposure possible. It'll also take bursts of multiple photos, analyze them in real-time, and present you with the sharpest one.
So, you get everything that was already fantastic about the iPhone 5 camera, but now with even better detail, focus, exposure, and sharpness. But wait, there's more.
Flash tones
Light isn't just light. There's sunlight and incandescent, tungsten and florescent, and combinations in between. Some are colder, with more of a blue or white cast to them. Some are warmer with more of a yellow or orange cast. A Standard LED flash can't match that range, so Apple has included two. In what Apple claims is a first, not just on phone cameras but any camera, True Tone has a white element for the cooler/blue end of the spectrum, and a yellow element, for the warmer/yellow end. When fired, they can intelligently adjust intensity and color temperature to any one of over a a thousand combinations in order to best match the scene being shot. That allows for better, more natural looking flash photos, especially where skin tone is involved. (See Apple's example above.)
Apple's dual LED True Tone flash isn't any brighter than the previous single LED. To go brighter, Apple would need to go to technology like Xenon. However, since mobile flash photography stinks no matter the quality of the tiny elements, and it shouldn't be used for anything other than capturing memories that can't be captured in natural light, getting better low-light capture is more important than getting a brighter flash.
When you do want to capture those memories, however, and you absolutely need a flash, True Tone should ensure you get the best result possible.
Auto not optical
The problem with low-light photography is that you want to keep the aperture open as long as possible to collect as much information as possible, but the longer the exposure time, the higher the chance your hands will shake or something in the scene will move, creating a blurry photo.
Optical image stabilization (OIS) is becoming more common thanks to phones like the HTC One and Lumia 920. It's a hardware solution that stabilizes the lens itself. OIS produces really good low light images with relatively little "noise", and does a good job minimizing the effects of your hands shaking, but is still subject to blur when something moves in the scene.
Apple is doing auto image stabilization (AIS) instead of OIS. It's a software solution that takes four photos with shorter exposures, selects the sharpest areas of each one, and then combines them into a single, final photo. In theory, this should accomplish pretty much the same thing as OIS, and could conceivably do a better job with slight motion in the scene. (See Apple's example above.)
I tend to like the idea of better capture up front. In a perfect world, we'd have both. We'll have to do a bunch of comparisons to find out how well AIS compares to OIS in the real world.
Action insurance
Apple's version of improving action photography is called Burst Mode, and it's so very typically Apple. With iOS 7 on the iPhone 5s with the Apple A7 chipset, you can hold your finger down on the virtual shutter button and take bursts of photographs at 10 frames per second (fps). So, holding your finger down for 2 seconds would take 20 photos. The ISP will then automatically, in real time, analyze all those photos and select the best shots. From there, the iOS 7 Camera Roll will present you with those selections, including major action moments if any, but also let you drill down into the entire series if you really want to.
So, to use Apple's example, wether you're trying to get that perfect shot of skate board acrobatics, or simply that one crisp moment amid the chaos of children, the odds are suddenly in your favor. You get the advantage of multiple shots, without any of the unmanageable overhead.
Slo Mo magic
Speaking of typically Apple features, the video camera also gets its share of integrated automagical-ness with the iPhone 5s. While the now-standard 1080p 30fps recording mode remains, there's a new 720p 120fps mode as well, called Slo Mo. As the name suggests, it allows for silky smooth, quarter-speed video capture.
What's more, Apple's existing Camera app editing feature has been updated and now lets you choose at which points in a clip you want to enter and exit slo mo. So, you can show off the big action moment as someone flips off a board or skates towards the check or begins a leap towards the stars, and then crank it right back to normal speed just in time for the splash, smash, or crash conclusion. Yes, it's the John Woo feature. Try not to go overboard on the hair tosses.
There's also a 3x live video zoom. It's digital, not optical, so I'd be incredibly reluctant to use it, but it's there.
Panoramic dynamics
Apple introduced Panorama mode with iOS 6, which stitched together multiple images to produce giant 28 megapixel photos. However, it wasn't exactly a speedy process, and you were stuck with the initial exposure. So, if your scene got significantly brighter or darker while you were capturing it, you lost detail or experience blow outs.
With the iPhone 5s, panorama capture is now twice as fast, a full 30fps, and what's more, dynamic auto exposure means the camera will adjust to changes in lighting continuously while it captures.
That means better, faster panos for everyone.
FaceTime HD-er
The iPhone 5s front-facing FaceTime HD camera has also gotten slightly better. The pixel size has been increased and the back illuminated sensor (BSI) has been improved. Here's how Apple describes it:
When you can't be there in person, you can at least be there onscreen. Share some good news with your best friend or say "good night" to a traveling loved one with a FaceTime video call. The all-new FaceTime HD camera on iPhone 5s features larger pixels and an improved backside illumination sensor, so your smile lights up the room in almost any light. And because you can make audio-only FaceTime calls in iOS 7, your tête-à-tête doesn't have to be face-to-face.
I couldn't find specifics on the improvements for the iPhone 5s, but Apple did list them for the iPhone 5c and my guess is they're identical. That means while the megapixel count stays at 1.2mp, the pixel size has gone up to 1.9 microns. Add that together with the new BSI, and everything from FaceTime video calls to selfies will get a big boost for low-light.
iOS 7 Camera app
In addition to all the exclusives detailed above, the iPhone 5s also gets all the new Camera app features coming in iOS 7. That includes the same design makeover, as well as Square mode and Filters. The bigger news, however, is what was taken away, including the signature shutter animation and button treatments are gone.
iOS 7 Photos app
Just like its partner, the Camera app, the iOS 7 Photos app is newly redesigned, including not only all the new filters, but a newer, smarter way to organize all the photos that previously clogged up our Camera Roll - years, collections, and moments. Add to that a far more social version of Photo Stream, and things are fast approaching picture perfect.

Every day, every when
Apple's goal when it comes to mobile photography is apparent. They're not interested in the biggest glass or widest range of features. They want to help you take the best photographs you can, any time, and under any conditions you need to take them. If something magical happens, they don't ever want you to miss out on capturing it. They don't want you to have to fret with settings before hand and miss it, or be disappointed after the fact that it turned out too dark or too blurry, or too soon or too late.
That means they leave a considerable amount of technology on the table, but so far it's been difficult if not impossible to argue with the choices they've made. The iPhone 5s absolutely continues down that path. It makes very specific compromises, given the size, and more specifically the depth, of the device, and yet increases the scope of Apple's "everyday photos" mantra considerably.
Better balance, better exposure, better sharpness, better low-light, less color distortion, less motion blur, and less chance you miss your shot by mere moments.
More to come
If you're really into mobile photography and want to read more on the iPhone 5s camera, I'd recommend both of these pieces.
From Brian Klug, an optical engineer and mobile editor for Anandtech:
The end takeaway is better low light performance compared to the 5 at the same resolution, substantially better LED flashes when native light doesn't get you far enough, and of course those extra added features like burst mode and 120FPS video record.
From Matthew Panzarino, a photographer and senior editor at TechCrunch:
Note that Apple says 'teach people how to be expert photographers'. That's key because everyone with a smartphone is now — whether they see themselves that way or not — a photographer. Apple just sees the value in taking the burden of having to be an expert off of their shoulders. And it has the software and hardware prowess to (maybe) pull it off.
The iPhone 5s, iSight and FaceTime cameras and all, ships on September 20. Until then, keep up with all the latest news, and get involved in all the best conversations:
- Apple A7 chipset brings 64-bit, twice the speed, OpenGL ES 3.0 gaming
- Apple M7 coprocessor does all the fitness, health, and motion heavy-lifting
- iSight camera combines an improved sensor with a smarter image processor to make everyone a better photographer
- Touch ID makes fingerprint authentication mainstream

iPhone 5s preview: iSight camera combines improved sensor, smarter image processor, makes everyone a better photographer
How would Rene know? He doesnt actually have first hand experience with the device, he just writes a story based on things everyone can see on the Apple website.
I actually had a question about this, why doesnt imore have any hands on with the new iphone? Seems like their producing more articles than anyone else about the device, but while others have actually had hands on experiences, they are not writing as much. Why exactly does imore not have hands on?
We weren't invited the iPhone event, so we didn't have access to the hands-on area.
Conversely, it means I'm not under embargo, which has benefits all its own.
But this is an all apple product website !
Yes, the lens and flash are in the same place. However, the flash is a different shape. I'd guess most cases would fit, but there might - literally - be edge cases that are slightly less than ideal.
We'll do a post on that asap.
Apple lists on their website that the position of the camera components are not identical to the 5 (ex. the dual flash). iPhone 5 cases will not fit the 5s...unless you don't mind 1/2 of your flash being covered.
Yawn. Still no OIS or higher quality microphones, or anything that makes a tangible difference in practice. Luckily, we have (or had) the likes of Nokia to push the mobile imaging experience forward. I would be unsurprised to not notice any difference between this new 1000$ phone's camera and my iP5's camera, in stills, video or the software experience.
Yawn. More of the same comments from this pathetic fucboi.......how sad is your life that you actually come on this site & spew the same anti-Apple/pro-Nokia/WP7 b.s. every day?? C'mon b, it's sad bc as full of crap as your posts are you actually seem like a fairly intelligent dude, so here's a tip.---> Go out & get laid or something.....maybe it'll help rid you of this anti-apple agenda you wake up with every morning. There's more to life than trying to be some weird douchey troll/preacher hybrid on Apple sites, I promise.
Don't reply.......I don't want to, nor will I read your corny response.
Arguably, Apple has done more for every day photographers thank to their emphasis on image signal processors (ISP) than Nokia or HTC have done with their focus on hardware.
Some experts can no doubt take better photos under some specific circumstances with something like the Lumia 1020, but most people, most of the time will get better results with an iPhone 5, and even more so an iPhone 5s, than they will better glass on competing cameras.
Since it's unlikely Nokia/Microsoft or HTC can invest in their own custom chipsets anytime soon, if the iPhone 6 gets serious about optics, it could make things even more challenging for competing devices.
Honest Question Rene; what exactly do you mean when you say "better glass"? I ask because, I've seen someplace else where you said something of the sort; "Apple has the best ISP and Nokia has the best glass'" (paraphrasing). And if I remember correctly, Nokia brings so much innovation/improvement to mobile imaging that reaches far beyond the 'glass' (which is innovative in and of itself) e.g. true OIS, Oversampling, post capture focus, Xenon Flash, superior camera interface, high quality Software Image Processing, and some more.
A bit of background, I have nothing against Apple, infact, I used the Original iPhone, 3GS, and 4S (which is nothing to scuff at considering the part of the world that I live in and what sacrifices I had to make to get the Original iPhone within the first 3 weeks of its release) before jumping onto the Lumia 920 (my current), and my next will be the 1020.
I love tech much more than I love any one tech company; I gravitate to the sleekest tech at every point. From 2004 till 2012, Apple did it for me - the iPod classic introduce me to Apple in 2004 and I've had several iPods, iPhones, iPads, and a Mac Air since. However, right now, I find what Microsoft has been doing since 2010 to be a little more exciting (which is funny because I was a severe Microsoft critic for most of the last decade till they turned a new leaf in 2010 with Windows Phone.
I'm an avid reader of this site (moreso than windowsphonecentral and talkMobile) but I usually stay away from commenting - this is my first. But this time, Rene, I couldn't resist. There is a pattern with you, Rene, which I've come to recognize; first you come up with a conjecture, and then without providing any evidence to move it into the realm of theory, you restate it some many times (I think you even start to believe it yourself) that more naive readers of your pieces then come to accept it as fact.
Case in point: I remember the first article in which you made the claim that Android and Windows Phone went 'flat' because of GPU constraints on their hardware (this opinion of yours was formed after a talk show you hosted with some dude - don't recall his name - who tried to explain that iOS could afford to be skeuomorphic because the iPhone's GPU could handle the depths and shades). You then went on to repeat that notion on so many other write-ups like it was a proven statement of fact. And this is exactly what you're now doing with the "Apple has the best ISP and Nokia has the best glass" notion.
...just my two cents.
Rene keep on keepin on. Love the article.
What about letting you erase people or objects in the background like Nokia's?
I'd love that feature, also the time shift BlackBerry licensed from them. We'll see if any developers can do that with standalone apps.
Burst mode and slo-mo video.That's samsung last year technology
Yes and no. Samsung and HTC have added more features faster, but in my experience with their software, they're nowhere nearly as easy to discover or use, and certainly not as coherent.
Less is more isn't everyone's way, but it is Apple's.
I love that Samsung will try everything, but it also means not everything will succeed immediately. There's room for both approaches.
I just have one question really..my biggest gripe lately with my iPhone 5 camera is that when I take a picture with people not that far away...the people seem really far away..and I don't really understand photography specs all that much..but when I have to use the zoom (and I often do) it degrades the quality for things not even 20 feet away really bad...(I realize bad lighting may not help) but my question is...does the 5S camera help this my situation any?? I mean...my cousins Evo 4G (Which is a 2010 phone) seem to take pictures that seemed MUCH closer..granted they were of less quality...
The iPhone has a quasi wide angle lens so you can fit more into a picture than you otherwise might. Its great for group shots, rooms, and landscape, for example.
I'd avoid using digital zoom completely. Instead, walk closer. Sneaker zoom! Then, if you have to, crop to get the framing you want.
Yup, while Apple can replace a lot of the "expert" burden off the user, some basics are still required for good composition. I'm guessing you want to take a standard tourist photo (people standing in front of a big memorable background). In most cases, the people are too close to the background. Have them move away from it (closer to you). That way, you can capture the big background, but still have the people be big in your photo. You can always have them stand still and you move closer, but then you won't capture as much background. Try having fun with your camera, a subject, and a background, varying the distances between each other to see how the photos turn out. Don't hesitate to get really close.
After using a 4S for a while, I switched to a Nexus 4 6 months ago. While I love most things about the phone, the camera has been a big disappointment, and frankly this is squarely Google's failing given that it runs stock Android. I'd go as far as to say that the iPhone 4 takes better pictures than the N4. On that basis (+ the other improvements) I'm very much tempted to switch back to an iPhone. Now if only Apple would just copy Androids rich, actionable notifications, it would seal then deal.
The double-flash was actually an idea that made a few DSLR people go "why didn't somebody think of that sooner?" The problem is that most causal people refuse to use the flash because they think it makes the picture look worse, but in actually fact, what's happening is that it merely looks "different". Having mixed colour temperatures for a flash is actually quite innovative.
There's not enough room for a true OIS system. The hardware to shift the sensor or to tilt a lens group would make the camera and the phone thicker. It looks like what apple is talking about with their IS is that it it's taking 4 underexposed shots and mapping the luminence data, and then stacking the exposures to bring the exposure/colour back up. It's.... a good idea. Wait and see. Just no way that it's as good as an optical system, which would give you at least 4x slower available shutter speed, and often 8. On paper, the Apple system could give you defined edges with colour smearing if you try to push the system to hard.
No mention on the focal length of the optical system, but they seem to omit this every launch. If the sensor is 15% larger but the depth is still the same (7.6mm), then by implication, the 5s has a wider field of view than the 5, unless they managed to change the optical formula. Apple's promo video *implies* that the sensor is 15% larger, but the wording could also mean that the chip is more efficient and that the light gathering area of each photodiode is 15% larger... in which case, the field of view is the same. It makes sense to keep the sensor the same size and go for efficiency rather than outright sensor area, as that means that you don't have to redesign the lens system as well.
Bit of of a disappointment that they didn't touch on the purple haze from the 5. One images that they worked harder on the anti-reflective coatings on the camera glass, but in terms of overall image quality, the 4s was better than the 5... the noise suppression wasn't as aggressive and it was more robust shooting into bright light sources.
Basically, the iPhone launch is now as important a camera launch as anything that Nikon or Canon put out. At least on specs, this year wasn't a disappointment.
Once again thank you again for a great article on the information i think in parts everyone needs so they can make better and more informed decisions on not only what they want to buy and why.
It gives me in parts as I mentioned so i don't have to read an entire article on everything and be bored - That is not what I want so once again thank you for the article and with this new camera how can you do anything but point, tap the button and take a great shot.
Very nice summary
What features will carry through to the iPhone 5 (included as part of ios7??
I understand the 720p 120fps won't carry through since its a hardware update but what about 60fps perhaps?
Dynamic auto exposure??
Some of these features doesn't seem to be related too much to the hardware changes but rather software.....
Not a particularly big fan of iPhone or iOS, but Apple seems to be the only major tech company besides Nokia who actually cares about smartphone photography and really pushing the bounds and limits of what a smartphone camera can do. While I'd never buy one, I'm actually very eager to see the shots the iPhone 5S produces, and how they compare to devices like the Lumia 1020.
One more time thank you guys....
For this good info...
Rene, you know I love you (well, no, you don't, but I do. I really do.), and I know everyone is sick of the whole pedantic photographer schtick, but I gotta say it once again: iSight camera combines improved sensor, smarter image processor, but does not makes everyone a better photographer.
It gives people better tools, it makes the resultant images sharper/squarer/better lit, but someone who took crappy images with the 4s is still going to take crappy images with this; they'll just be sharper/squarer/better lit. True, the camera is going to compensate for some of that, meaning that the resulting photograph might be better, but that doesn't mean that they're a better photographer. In fact, one could argue that makes them worse/lazier photographers because the camera is compensating for their lack of skill. The fact that I can create something in Garageband that sounds pretty cool using pre-packaged clips does not make me a better musician. I might make better music, but I have not someone learned anything about musical theory, just that this and this sound cool together.
I know, Apple said it first. But that was marketing hype. Don't believe it. Better yet, please don't repeat it. Thanks.

McFarlane Toys is proud to present our twelfth series of NHL Sports Picks figures. NHL 12 is our third series this hockey season (following NHL 10 and Team Canada), and falls in the slot traditionally held for a Canadian release in the summertime. While the work stoppage prevented us from making an all-new lineup for the spring, there was a tremendous amount of player movement in 2005, which enabled us to put together a lineup of Sports Picks figures updated to their new teams -- as well as unveil our representation of Penguins rookie Sidney Crosby. The six players have validated their selections by posting strong seasons for their new teams -- here's a look at their seasons so far and an invitation to enjoy the photography:
SIDNEY CROSBY: The top overall selection in this spring's NHL draft has brought hope to a scuffling Penguins franchise. "The Next One" leads all rookies in assists, and is second among them in points. Though Pittsburgh stumbled early in the season, a coaching change showed the organization's faith in their future -- as they gave Crosby an assistant captain's "A" while he's still shy of his 19th birthday.
PAUL KARIYA 2: After nine strong seasons in Anaheim and an injury-filled year in Colorado, left wing phenom Paul Kariya was looking for a fresh start and found a new home in Nashville. He's brought veteran leadership to the young franchise, and helped catapult the Predators into contention for the Central Division crown. Kariya leads Nashville in scoring and has helped the team establish the best home-ice record in the league.
JEREMY ROENICK: The colorful center brought his hard-nosed style to Los Angeles -- helping the Kings grab the Pacific Division lead before a late-December finger injury pushed him to the shelf. "J.R." is expected to return in January, quite possibly with a vengeance. Roenick needs just 22 more goals to pass Joe Mullen as the highest scoring American-born player in NHL history.
NIKOLAI KHABIBULIN: The Stanley Cup-winning net-minder headed north during the long off-season, signing a new deal with the Chicago Blackhawks. The season has been a bumpy ride so far, but the signing of Khabibulin has shown the organization's commitment to improve and Chicago fans are hoping the veteran goalie helps accelerate their learning curve.
CHRIS PRONGER: The painful lockout did accomplish at least two things -- it picked up the pace of the game on ice, and it leveled the playing field to help smaller market teams keep their core players and even bring in established talent to help. Edmonton wasted no time landing favorite son Chris Pronger to solidify their defense. The longtime Blues captain left the Midwest behind and immediately became Edmonton's best player on the blue line. The revamped Oilers are contending in the Northwest Division and are only too happy to be playing in the "new NHL."
PETER FORSBERG 2: Colorado's best player waved goodbye to the NHL following the 2003-2004 season, returning home to play hockey overseas. As time stretched on during the lockout, Forsberg made the decision to come back to the NHL, but this time in a new city. Philadelphia welcomed the speedy center with open arms, and he wasted no time shaking off any "rink rust." Forsberg has delivered 51 points in the season's first 30 games to lead the Flyers to a division lead and the third-best record in the NHL.
NHL 12 is a six-player lineup that will include chase figures as well. It's scheduled to arrive in Canadian and U.S. stores in April 2006.

There are times in this carnivorous woman's life when she absolutely needs meat. Last night was one of those nights. If I looked back over my past posts, I'm sure I'll see a few where I've opened with this sentiment before, and I'm quite sure I'll do so again. (Check back in a month.) That doesn't change the fact that last night's meatstravaganza was essentially a blue plate dinner: steak, spinach, and fries. But since it was one of Lolita's meatstravaganzas, the steak was a crusty seared medium-rare ribeye bathed in shiitake mushrooms drowning in brandy and cream, the spinach was melted with nutty manchego cheese, and the fries were EVOO roasted sweet potato spears — all three offerings several orders of magnitude better than one's typical diner fare. And all just the ticket to replenish my dwindling energy. Today, I'm a powerhouse of cow-fueled enthusiasm. Thanks, Bessie! You were delicious…
Steak with Drunken Shiitake Cream, Manchego Spinach, and Sweet Potato Spears
1 nice, thick cut ribeye steak
1 small, narrow long sweet potato
4oz shiitake mushrooms
1 shallot
4-6oz baby spinach
1/2 cup shredded manchego cheese
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
sea salt, cracked black pepper
As you can see, almost all of my ingredients came from Trader Joe's down the street, where the husbandman now has a part-time job while he goes to school (and where he was while I enjoyed this meal solo). I never used to buy their meats, preferring to get mine from Whole Foods around the corner, but we need the discount so I've been trying them out lately. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed! This was a beautiful steak.
This could almost qualify as a weeknight wondermeal, since I had it finished within 30 minutes, but there are a few too many ingredients and cookware needed to really make the grade. Still, it was fairly simple to make, especially considering the excellent result. At any rate, roasting the sweet potato was going to take the longest period of time, so I started by washing it and slicing it into 8 spears. These get tossed with EVOO, salt, and pepper, and laid out on a baking sheet. I pop 'em in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, during which time I make everything else.
Steak. All I add to it is some fresh cracked black pepper. I throw it into a medium hot non-stick pan, and I use the flip once-a-minute technique to capture all those lovely juices, and to sear it to a perfect medium rare. This takes about 10 flips total – for about 5 minutes on each side.
When it's almost ready, I get my spinach started by simply throwing it all into a hot pan, and tossing it until it wilts. No water – no butter – just spinach and heat. It actually sort of melts on its own, and releases its own juices, but I want a drier product than a typical creamed spinach which is why I'm prepping it this way this time.
As the spinach starts to reduce, and when my steak is done, I move it to a warm plate and keep it covered while I make the sauce. I start with a minced shallot, sauteed until translucent in a glug of EVOO.
I then add my washed and patted dry shiitake mushrooms, which I'm keeping whole. Unlike crimini or white mushrooms, which have plumper caps and take longer to soften, I throw these in whole, along with half of my brandy to get them started. I toss this very well, distributing the heat, so that my mushrooms can wilt and soften.
Like my spinach, which is completely shrunken and dense now, instead of leafy and voluminous.
In goes my shredded manchego cheese and my milk (which just helps melt the cheese). I toss this well until everything is nicely incorporated, and season it with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, I add my sour cream and the rest of my brandy to my mushrooms, which I mix well again and cook over medium heat until the sauce is thick and creamy.
Finally, I pull out my sweet potato spears, which are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
My tender, chewy mushrooms have soaked up all that brandy, scenting them with floral sweetness, imbuing the cream sauce with delightful nuances. The bed of spinach which props up my juicy bloody steak is a delicious balance of vetegal greenness and nutty Spanish cheese, and the caramelized potato spears provide just the right amount of starch to the plate. The perfect bite is a forkful with a bit of everything on it: ribeye, 'shroom, cream, veg, and potato. All the right stuff for dinner, made just the right way. 'Nuff said.

28 weeks pregnant with #3. This has been a great pregnancy. BPs have been wonderful....the best they've ever been in my adult life. I've been feeling great. I've been so active this pregnancy. I couldn't have been happier. We waited for 5 years to get pregnant again after my last two pregnancies....and adopted three times because we didn't think we were comfortable getting pregnant again.....I have been so thrilled with how things have been going.
Day before yesterday I started getting some shortness of breath and felt like I was going to pass out. Normal pregnancy stuff. Yesterday I woke up puking. Figured I had a stomach bug. I took my BP later in the day just in case and they were rising. I had been around 110/75 for a long time. Yesterday they were around 130/85. Boo. Today they are more like 135/95....but they will go down if I lay on my left side.
I guess I just want to whine. My husband is out of town so he's not here for me to whine to. I'm disappointed. I'm not worried because I've been down this path twice before and everything turned out fine in the end. I know what to watch for and have a good idea of when I need to go to the hospital. I'm just sad. It felt so good to be a happily and joyfully pregnant. It felt so good to be active. I had grand plans to lay a patio, paint my living room, and landscape my front yard before the baby comes. I don't think that's happening. Bummer. But if feels good to get it out.

Town officials in Warren voted in favor of tabling until spring a paving project that would make the East Warren Community Market an official park and ride. Warren Department of Public Works director Barry Simpson discussed the grant-funded project with select board members at their November 9 meeting.
Last March, following several meetings and one public forum, select
board members approved using $21,700 in state grant funding to repair
the lot at the East Warren Community Market using stay mat and without
installing lighting, in order to designate it an official park and ride.
The town accepted a bid from ST Paving to complete the project. Simpson told select board members that he had had several conversations with salespeople at ST Paving and inquired about getting on the schedule for completing before Thanksgiving.
"It keeps getting put off and put off and put off," Simpson said.
"Right now they say by the end of November. That kind of project, I don't care what it is, is very weather dependent and it is certainly freeze dependent. Digging up frozen ground -- that's not going to work," he continued.
Select board chair Andy Cunningham suggested telling the paving company to push the work back until spring. Simpson said he had spoken with road foreman Ray Weston about the possibility of the highway department doing the work.
"I asked Ray if this was something he could do, and he said one of the premises of these grant projects is to employ people that aren't necessarily otherwise occupied," Simpson said.
Select board member Anson Montgomery said, "Well ST Paving is otherwise occupied, so...I'm a little disappointed about this, I wanted to get another bid. It was all rush, rush, rush. We got rushed into the culvert thing, rushed into this; we need to take an extra moment to look at these projects."
Cunningham said, "If the money isn't going to disappear, we can get three bids. I'm in favor of pulling back at this point; they haven't performed."
Town Administrator Cindi Hartshorn-Jones suggested that the town include a clause in the contract that indicates a finish date and subsequent fines if the work isn't completed on time.
Town officials voted to table the project until spring until such time as it can be put back out to bid.
Cunningham said, "I don't see a drawback to wait; it's just a parking lot that will be a little rutty until spring."

Wendy Cobb, the new principal of the Warren Elementary School, is looking forward to the start of school. Cobb was hired last spring and had the opportunity to work with outgoing principal Andreas Lehner through the end of the school year.
"I know I've got some big shoes to fill and I'm looking forward to it," she said this week.
Cobb recently moved to Warren from Burlington so that she can be part of the community. When school opens on August 29, Cobb expects at least nine more students than last year, plus the possibility of another three students, bringing enrollment up to 174.
Also new at Warren this year is a brand new 2013 school bus and a brand new school bus driver. Travis Morse, a Warren resident whose daughter is starting preschool at the school this fall, was hired to replace longtime school bus driver Ken Blair who retired. Morse's wife Amanda works as a substitute teacher in the Washington West School District as well.
Work on a new classroom, on the second floor of the school above the existing kitchen/cafeteria area, is already under way and that space is expected to be completed by the end of the year. When that space is done, it will be a fifth-grade classroom. Until it is done, that class of students will be working in the music/French room and the music and French teachers will be traveling to individual classrooms.
Jane Spina, Warren, has been hired as the new fifth-grade teacher and her kids attend the Warren School. Andrea Petrasch, Duxbury, will be a new paraeducator at the school this year and Jane Wolman, a former special educator, will be working at the school as a teaching assistant until December.
Warren students will participate in a variety of residency programs this year, including a Bread and Puppet segment, a theater residency, the Four Winds program and a gardening residency with Jeannie Sergeant.

In each issue of WebMD the Magazine, our experts answer your questions about skin care, beauty, makeup, hair care, and more. In our July-August 2011 issue, Cindy Augustine, 33, a freelance writer and editor in New York City, asked for tips on dealing with curly hair. For help, we turned to Michelle Breyer, president of NaturallyCurly.com, and Ron Robinson, cosmetic chemist and founder of BeautyStat.com. Here's what they had to say:
Q: How do I give my curls definition and hold without making them look and feel crunchy?
Michelle Breyer's Top Picks:
The key to defined curls without the crunch is product selection and application. Pick a styling cream such as Paul Mitchell Express Style Fast Form ($17.50) and disperse it into damp hair in sections, making sure to put a little more on the ends than at the roots. Don't forget the underside of your curls -- if they're not coated in product, your risk of puffiness and frizz is greater.
After you've applied product, air-dry your tresses or use a blow dryer with a diffuser nozzle. If you still have a bit of crunch, rub a pea-size dab of John Frieda Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Crème ($5.99) between your hands and run them through your hair from roots to ends to break up the crinkly texture.
Curly and kinky hair types love natural butters and oils like shea butter, jojoba, avocado, coconut milk, aloe vera, and honey because they instantly boost moisture. In addition, mixing the right products can be a great way to reduce frizz. Combining a moisturizing leave-in conditioner like SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk ($9.99) with a defining mousse like Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse ($2.99) can foil frizz all day long.
Ron Robinson's Top Picks:
The crunchiness you have after using some hair products might be due to the polymers in the formula that provide hold and structure to curls, which means you may be treating your hair with the wrong product. The biggest mistake is not understanding there are different types of coils -- loose, tight, kinky, wavy. Applying products designed for a curl type other than your own may leave your tresses feeling crispy.
Generally, women with fine, curly hair may require a little more firmness to maintain their curls; those with thick, curly hair may not need as much hold. Across the board, however, curly hair needs a ton of moisture. Look for ingredients like argan, jojoba, and macadamia oils, all natural emollients that hydrate hair.
Shampoo and conditioner are just as important to the styling process. I recommend John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Shampoo and Conditioner ($6.49 each), which contain silk proteins and olive oil that moisturize and detangle strands, prepping them for easy styling.
For a leave-in conditioner, I like Mixed Chicks leave-in conditioner ($16.99), which is pumped with jojoba oil, proteins, and amino acids that work to hydrate and protect the hair. For a gel, try Ouidad Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel ($22) with wheat protein, amino acids, and vitamin A, which work together to protect the hair from frizz-inducing humidity.
Types of Frizzy Hair
No two curls are the same, Breyer says. Read on to find out how to show your coil type some TLC.
How it looks: The wave or curl forms the letter "s" and typically sits close to the scalp.
How to treat it: While this hair type has a tendency to frizz, it's particularly versatile -- with the ability to quickly go from straight to curly.
How it looks: The large, loopy "s" pattern is well defined and springy.
How to treat it: In most cases this hair type is naturally super shiny, so you can skip the serums and spray sheens.
How it looks: The fine curls are tight, with lots of strands densely packed together.
How to treat it: Since blow-drying this texture takes a little more time and patience, be sure to use a heat-protection spray beforehand.
How it looks: Strands are very tightly coiled and can be prone to breakage.
How to treat it: This type has fewer cuticle layers than other textures, meaning it doesn't have as much natural protection from damage.
Bottom line: Always handle your curls with care.

LAUREL HILL — Regional artists and craftsmen, a fleet of vintage vehicles, a Boy Scout camp, and live music will highlight the May 3 Laurel Hill Arts and Heritage Festival.
Diverse music lineup
The festival opens with the music of Crestview singer and guitarist Aaron Overton followed by classic and contemporary jazz from the Northwest Florida State College Jazz Ensemble.
Chevon Corlew and Jeremiah 29:11's lively energetic gospel and praise music will be followed by the haunting skirl of Emerald Coast Pipes and Drums.
Joining the musical lineup is Jordan Rogers, a Collegiate High School senior whose guitar and vocal artistry includes original compositions.
In addition, Gordon Martial Arts taekwondo students will demonstrate a routine of patterns, basic kicking skills and board breaking.
Food for worthy causes
Laurel Hill School parents and students will sell beverages for an upcoming field trip to New Orleans.
Crestview Boy Scout Troop 773 members will sell Scout Cobbler, a dessert they will cook in a Dutch oven over a campfire.
The First Presbyterian Church of Crestview's men's group will grill burgers and hotdogs to raise money for food baskets for needy families.
The Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church's desserts, baked goods and plant sales will benefit community outreach programs such as providing school supplies for needy Laurel Hill School students.
New component
The festival, hosted by the Laurel Hill and Crestview Presbyterian Churches, is timed a half-year from the fall Hobo Festival, the churches' pastor, the Rev. Mark Broadhead, said.
This year's event adds a heritage component that salutes local history and traditions. The Baker Block Museum and North Okaloosa Heritage Association join the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce Arts and Culture Committee and the Friends of the Arts in supporting the event.
"We think adding a heritage component will greatly broaden the appeal of our festival," Broadhead said.

I've been looking for something I came across while searching the web before voting. It had to do with early American understanding of the Revolution and the neccesity of resisting tyrants. The author should be known to those better acquainted with that period of history. Maybe they could locate something.A point from what I read points out that (in Romans) lawful authority is a threat to evildoers. Authority that opresses those who would do good is therefore to be resisted.
Why is it so hard for some to believe ALL go to Heaven oneday?
3Rulers are a threat to evil people, not to good people. There is no need to be afraid of the authorities. Just do right, and they will praise you for it. 4After all, they are God's servants, and it is their duty to help you.
I'm sick of it and really wondering what I'm doing around here.
I'm really glad to have you on this board DeeDee. I'm enjoying the great questions you have and the answers others provide.
It's not Sovereignty or Free Will any more than it's Heaven or Hell. It's all of it.
Quote from: martincisneros on November 20, 2008, 06:05:55 AMIt's not Sovereignty or Free Will any more than it's Heaven or Hell. It's all of it.I think that's what I've been trying to say too, but it seems just a few of us want to take staunch opposing sides, i.e., extremes, then castigate those that don't see it exactly our way. What's up with this? Outright deceit is bad and needs to be confronted and I'll either join you or take the lead. On the other hand, differences of understanding WITHIN the respect of scripture can be dealt with and discussed, then move on...in love preferring one another. James.
You need to read the sermon posted. Here's an excerpt:Let me make use of this easy and familiar similitude to illustrate the point in hand--Suppose God requires a family of children, to obey their father and not to resist him; and enforces his command with this argument; that the superintendence and care and authority of a just and kind parent, will contribute to the happiness of the whole family; so that they ought to obey him for their own sakes more than for his: Suppose this parent at length runs distracted, and attempts, in his mad fit, to cut all his children's throats: Now, in this case, is not the reason before assigned, why these children should obey their parent while he continued of a sound mind, namely, their common good, a reason equally conclusive for disobeying and resisting him, since he is become delirious, and attempts their ruin? It makes no alteration in the argument, whether this parent, properly speaking, loses his reason; or does, while he retains his understanding, that which is as fatal in its consequences, as any thing he could do, were he really deprived of it. This similitude needs no formal application.
It's not Sovereignty or Free Will any more than it's Heaven or Hell. It's all of it.Quote from: Molly on November 20, 2008, 05:13:57 AM3Rulers are a threat to evil people, not to good people. There is no need to be afraid of the authorities. Just do right, and they will praise you for it. 4After all, they are God's servants, and it is their duty to help you. Now, Molly, remember! If the Scriptures say to do something that involves using your will, then tough luck because you don't have one. You have to ignore those Scriptures and just focus on God's Sovereignty. Or, if it be God's will, someday, you'll be able to be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only. But in the meantime, repentance isn't repentance without a bolt of lightning.I'm sick of it and really wondering what I'm doing around here.
free will is the same as self will to me and there is the self righteous and the righteousness of God [ Jesus Christ ] and to look the best a self righteous man can offer is anger and cruelty and violence , thats not what Jesus Christ teaches us to be , there are better things for you ,, 2Cr 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. Gen 49 the last or end days of the tribesof Israel 5"Simeon and Levi are brothers; Their swords are implements of cruel / violence. 6"Let my soul not enter into their council; Let not my glory be united with their assembly; Because in their anger they slew men, And in their self-will they lamed oxen. 7"Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel. will disperse them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel. [/b] Some of these still are not gathered in CHRIST BODY !
You can have a will and submit to God's will. Not my will be done, but His. Free-will has a choice between self or God.
Quote from: SOtW on November 20, 2008, 07:13:23 PMYou can have a will and submit to God's will. Not my will be done, but His. Free-will has a choice between self or God.Dear SOtW, I don't know of anyone personally that would disagree with your statement: "You can have a will and submit to God's will."
The issue is this: All mankind have a will which is the "will of the flesh" which flesh is at enmity to God, therefore their will is at enmity to God.
That being the case, at what point in a person's life can one who obviously has a will, submit to God's will? Can they do it of their own will?
Craig seems to want to get rid of those who believe in the sovernity of God.
One thing I would like to ask everyone that believes in free will, or a will at all. WHERE DID YOU GET IT? HOW DID YOU ACQUIRE THIS WILL?
Quote from: CHBCraig seems to want to get rid of those who believe in the sovernity of God.You are wrong. I believe 100% in the Sovereignty of God.1 Peter 2:15-16For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.Who I want to get rid of those who say they have no accountability or responsibility in their life concerning the Will of God concerning them, these are sociopaths who care for nothing but themselves.QuoteOne thing I would like to ask everyone that believes in free will, or a will at all. WHERE DID YOU GET IT? HOW DID YOU ACQUIRE THIS WILL?How one acquired Free Will, does not take away from Free Will. Therefore, your question is irrelevant, to freedom of will. Where did we get it? God gave it to us, that is how we are created. How did did we acquire this will? God gave it to us, that is how you acquired this will.So now that God gave you this will, and gave you everything including making Himself known plainly, sending His Son and reconciled all mankind, and pouring His Spirit on all mankind, what are you going to do? Romans 6:13-15Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. God gave it to you, that is how you aquired it. It was God's Will, that you have a choice in this life we live. 2 Peter 2:20-21If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
I think Craig has a good point, look at these verses and see which came first,a choice given after knowledge being revealed;thenwrong choicethenturned over to a depraved mind.

An investigation by the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration into the April 30 fatal accident at the Milton-Madison Bridge construction site has resulted in $10,000 in penalties being levied against Walsh Construction Company by the Indiana Department of Labor.
Walsh Construction Company, with headquarters in Crown Point, Ind., is the contractor for the replacement of the Milton-Madison Bridge.
Despite the noise and activity surrounding construction of the new Milton-Madison Bridge, the pair of peregrine falcons nesting on one of the bridge piers has had another successful nesting season.
Officials from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources monitoring nest activity say three healthy falcon chicks hatched in the nest in April. The nesting box is located near the Indiana side of the bridge on a pier that is not being reused as part of the project.

Hope for the new year: Shawn Levi, a local amputee, says he wants 'A new life. A new start. A new outlook.'Written by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | firstname.lastname@example.com
It was hard for Shawn Levi to enjoy the holidays.
A workplace injury two and a half years ago resulted in a below-the-knee amputation of his left leg Oct. 30.
Just a few weeks ago, he was still in the nursing home, Heartland of Oregon, with a tiny Christmas tree sitting on his nightstand.
He struggled getting dressed. He could barely use the bathroom. He feared using the steps.
But 2014 is going to be better.
It has to be.
The new year brings his 30th birthday on Jan. 15. While most people don't look forward to the big 3-0, he is craving the milestone. He wants to leave behind the past 29 years.
"A new life. A new start. A new outlook."
That is what he hopes for himself.
"I want to be born again. I want to have a new outlook on life and not be so negative," he said.
For Shawn this will be hard. He grew up in foster care, was eventually adopted and then left home after high school. He has two children he hasn't been able to see, but hopes to change that in the new year if he gets to a better place in his life.
He also wants a job.
Shawn has had jobs here and there, including Taco Bell, but he has never had a career. He is interested in police work, but a suicide attempt will most likely keep him from that occupation. He would possibly like to be trained to work with computers.
He even lived at the Cherry Street Mission until a friend, Mike Terry, invited him to stay at his house.
"I still haven't really swallowed this. I still haven't mourned the loss of half of my leg. A lot of people tell me it is like losing a family member."
The accident
Shawn said he was working as a temp at Precision Steel Services on June 14, 2011, when he lifted a steel beam.
"I lifted it over my head not knowing it was cut. As soon as I got it over my head, which was 6 to 7 feet in the air, a piece snapped off and the remainder hit my knee and smashed my foot."
Shawn went to the ER, but was sent home thinking his foot was bruised and his big toe was broken. A few days later, his foot started to swell even worse and he developed cellulitis from the tip of his toes all the way up his leg. He was put on antibiotics, but had an allergic reaction.
Meanwhile, he felt his foot "explode," he said, and it started to arch. Out of necessity, he started to walk on the outside of his left foot. "I couldn't feel it," he said.
He would do this for more than two years, gaining 100 pounds from inactivity.
Sometimes he wishes he still had his bad leg because then he could at least get around better. But he knows the amputation was the right choice. He has already lost 50 pounds since the surgery.
"I just wish it didn't take so long. I don't know why it has been two and a half years," he said.
While Shawn doesn't want to discuss any possible legal action, he is receiving workers' compensation and is thankful that everything has been covered. He is also glad he found Dr. Gregory Georgiadis.
"He is an amazing doctor. I finally found a doctor who really cared about the situation and handled it. I was reading a prosthesis book, and he said, 'This could be what you have.' I was like, 'OK.'"
Family matters
Obviously, no one wants to lose a limb, but Shawn said at least his amputation was below the knee, which will make using a prosthetic limb a little easier. He should be fit for one when his post-surgery infection clears up.
"There are days when I am still here and no one is here and you wish you had people coming up here because it is so boring," he said, while at the nursing home.
In December, he called his biological mother in Tennessee. From afar, she feels for him, although she has no plans to visit.
"It really does hurt to see a son hurt so badly," Carol Cummings said. "How can you be positive when things are so negative?"
He has had some visitors. His adopted family, from whom he had been estranged for six years, is among them.
"When I was in the hospital after the amputation, my adopted brother, Jeremy Dobie, came walking in the door. I was like, 'Hey bro, what is going on?'
"We are all talking again and I am pretty happy about that."
Dobie said it was shocking to find out his brother was going to lose his leg and it put everything into perspective.
"I am definitely glad that I have gotten the chance to make things a little bit better between us," Dobie said. "He seems to be pretty positive about the whole situation."
Shawn has also experienced an outpouring of love from a local family, his main support system.
Shawn and Mike worked together at McDonald's as teenagers, although they were not good friends then. Mike's mom, Barb Farley, remembers bringing them pizza when they got tired of eating McDonald's.
"One day Mike said, 'Remember that guy you took pizza to at McDonald's? He is in trouble. He is living at the Cherry Street Mission,'" Barb said. "He had an accident and lost everything he had: his rental, his car and everything in storage.
"I said, 'we have to get him out of there,' and my son went to get him, and Shawn has never left."
Since then, Shawn has lived with Mike at his rental house, along with two other roommates. They are willing to revamp the house to include an extra rail or set up accommodations in the bathroom. But since the first floor doesn't have a bathroom or bedroom, Mike said they want to move in January or February to find something that works better for Shawn.
"We have been in close quarters for a long time and everyone has moments where we don't get along, but I look at him like a brother and that is what brothers do sometimes," Mike said.
Like brothers, he even managed to bring some levity to the situation just a few days after surgery. Both are Buckeyes fans, so Mike drew an "O" on the bottom of Shawn's new red cast and added a real pair of sunglasses.
"My mom has a big heart — sometimes too big — and I inherit that from her," Mike said.
He remembers running into Shawn around town as adults, and then one day Shawn called him about throwing a birthday party at his house because he was living at the shelter. Mike agreed. That weekend, he told him, "Dude, you don't have to go back there."
Cherry Street Mission president and CEO Dan Rogers said it is rare for people to "rescue" clients from the shelter. Actually, it is usually in their best interest to stay and get the help they need, whether that is with a job or substance abuse.
The best way to support a friend or family member at the Cherry Street Mission is to send them a care package, eat dinner with them or participate in a shelter event. But sometimes friends and family find out someone is living at the shelter and that person is ready to leave and that is a great situation, he said.
"He has just had a horrible life," Barb said. "It makes me cry. I couldn't imagine having him go through everything he had to go through without a mom standing by. I told him to program me in his phone as 'Mom 2.'"
Mike is happy to share his mother.
"A lot of his family isn't around here and hasn't been involved as much as I think they should be."
Next steps
Shawn's amputation is just the beginning of a series of surgeries he needs. Because he walked sideways on his foot, the remaining part of his leg is twisted. He also has two bulging discs in his back.
Soon he will be fitted for his prosthetic leg and taught how to use it. The moment he feels comfortable using his new leg, he knows exactly what he wants to do.
"Run, mow the lawn, take out the garbage without worrying about falling down," he said with a huge smile on his face.
His list also includes skiing, being on a boat and "just being around people socially and not having people stare at me every time I go in a store," he said.
The stares have been hard.
"When people are out of the norm, walk differently or have a drooping eye, it is amazing to see how people look at them," Shawn said. "I ignore the situation, but it still upsets me. I keep my mouth shut and hop on."
Barb has tried to reassure him.
"When people look at you, they see your eyes. They see everything through your eyes; it has nothing to do with your limbs," she told him.
Roberta Cone, a psychologist and advisory committee member of the national Amputee Coalition, said people stare because, "Yes, we are different."
She lost her arm in an automobile accident more than a decade ago.
"I have had an extraordinary life, but there are challenges and you are different. There is a period of relearning things."
The psychologist said it helps to know that "you are so much more than your appearance."
She said limb loss is equated to losing a loved one and no one should discount that. The best advice she can give is: "Seek the help of support groups and find meaning in your loss."
When Shawn is down and doesn't think he will be able to work again, Barb is the one who supports him. She thinks he should volunteer first to see what might interest him.
"I want to start a charity to help injured workers out," Shawn said. "It is a long road if you don't have anyone. It is very depressing. I don't know how I pulled through what I went through."
But he has.
"It is amazing. I have had a rough road my entire life, but somewhere I still find the spirit to keep pushing and keep going."

I would like to develop my GIS programming skills, where do I start? People say learn C++ or Python but where can I learn this in a geographic context? Tutorials or anything would be very helpful, as would any information on languages/programmes to use.
There is one blog post from Michalis Avraam that explains essential skills to succeed in GIS career which I think is well written. You will probably find lot of good advices there.
I like Chris Garrard's Python for Geoprocessing course materials. http://www.gis.usu.edu/~chrisg/python/2009/ Personally, I find programmatic manipulation of OGR/GDAL to be indispensable.
With respect to finding the best fit for you, consider the software or geostack you wish to be most expert in (like ArcGIS, QGIS, PostGIS-GeoServer-OpenLayers), and then choose programming language(s) that best supports your choice. That'll be discoverable by checking out the language of the associated API or other customization tutorials. A great deal of online programming learning resources exist, and a websearch of your preferred software package + language + "tutorial" will get you rolling.
I also believe in "learning by doing". For example, crank out a simple map with Javascript and Google Maps, and try to add geometry, styling, user interface, and analyses of interest. Work to see what's possible and what's not. As you build, you'll need more sophisticated tools for customization, and this will point to relevant plaftorms, languages, and libraries.
Don't start with C++ and GIS without learning software development first. It's just too much.
Python is a good place to start regardless of what GIS platform you go with later. There are a lot of books, websites and training materials available and a lot of colleges use python as an introduction before going on to the heavy duty programming languages, like c++ and java.
My favourite python resources -- outside of this site -- are Show Me Do, Think Python, Stack Overflow and the mailing lists of the software I use (mostly GDAL and ArcGIS).
I was able to learn Python by sitting down with a copy of Learning Python by Lutz & Ascher (O'Reilly Press). My office uses ESRI products, so to get the connection with ArcGIS, I created several models using ESRI's Model Builder and exported them to Python. Then it was just a matter of looking at the exported python scripts, digging through the book and using ESRI's on-line help system for the geoprocessing topics to get a better idea on how python and ArcGIS work together.
There are very few colleges/universities which offer programming courses related to GIS. I would recommend the Elmhurst College GIS Certificate Program which has two (2) of these courses as part of their GIS Cert. Program, both programming related:
The entire program is online and they have a dedicated GIS Server. They teach Python mainly.
Programming in GIS is one of the skill sets listed in The Geospatial Technology Competency Model (GTCM), which has just come out and includes some additional skillsets that may be the ultimate reference source for this: http://www.careeronestop.org/competencymodel/blockModel.aspx?tier_id=4&block_id=708&GEO=Y
The answer depends very much on the system you are using and what OS it runs on. I'm primarily programming Manifold on Windows or web-based apps with Manifold on the backend, so I can choose from any .NET language. C# is my personal choice because most examples and tutorials you will find on the web will be in C# (at least for .NET).
Since you are just starting out, Manifold may not be a bad choice. You can get it for under $300 and develop using the free 'Express' versions of Visual Studio.
If you can be a bit more specific we can probably help you more.
The ESRI Virtual Campus offers a couple short introductory courses on using Python for scripting in ArcGIS. I think one of them is free. Taking one would be a great way to see if this is something you're ready to dive deeper into.
Work your way through ArcMap learning the basics of spatial objects handling. When you are comfortable with an operation try to establish the process with ModelBuilder. Model builder is the equivalent of lego in the ESRI world. It makes it possible for you to generate python code. This code will be simplified but it will work.
WingIDE is a tool which makes it easy to handle python scripts, as well as providing you with a predictable environment to try out your scripts. Open the model builder script in the IDE of your choice and play around with it.
As programming languages goes Python is a low hanging fruit. It will take you from the simple level and up :-)

Wednesday, June 18, 2014
For years Leigh Fischer, of Charlotte, N.C., has known Georgetown as her familys home for the summer. But it was only recently she learned Georgetown is more than just a vacation retreat for her family.
I recently became interested in genealogy and as I started to research my mothers side of the family I discovered my great-great-grandmother was born in South Carolina, and her grandmother lived in Georgetown.
Fischers great-great-great-great-grandmother was Elizabeth Cuttino Smith.
Fischer discovered the Cuttino family has a long legacy in Georgetown. Originally Cothonneau, the Cuttinos were French Huguenots who settled in Georgetown in the late 1600s.
Elizabeth was one of five, or possibly six, children of William Cuttino and Elizabeth Coon Cuttino. William was a builder and constructed two houses for his daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, on Prince Street. The William Cuttino Houses, 421 and 417 Prince Street, are still standing today.
Fischer said in her research she discovered the two homes are unusually close to each other because the father wanted his daughters to be able to talk to each other from across the alley.
Interested in learning more, Fischer visited the Huguenot Society of South Carolina in Charleston and purchased a copy of History of the Cuttino Family by Emery University professor G. P. Cuttino.
In her reading she found William and his children in the book: Elizabeth, 1773 1827; Mary 1774 1811; Peter, 1786 1833; David William, 1789 1820; and Benjamin Thomas, 1797 1852.
Although only five children were listed, Fischer came to discover there was another brother, Henry, 1794 1856.
The book describes much of the familys lineage and includes a photo of the two Prince Street homes.
It also included images of portraits of Elizabeth, Peter and Benjamin Thomas. In searching for more images of Elizabeth on the internet, Fischer came across a color photo of the portrait. She discovered the original portrait, which was painted in 1825, was listed for sale at a Nashville antique store.
I called the store and told the owner the whole story and said I wanted that portrait, it should be in the family.
She spent $4,000 on the painting and now it hangs over her mantle.
It fits perfectly into my home.
Elizabeth was no great beauty, Fischer said, and her family has fondly nicknamed the painting Mrs. Doubtfire.
Once she discovered the portrait of Elizabeth, Fischer began searching for the painting of Peter.
She found him in Rome, Ga., in the home of Susan Cuttino Gilbert Harvey, a distant relative and descendant of Peter Cuttino who had inherited the portrait.
Fischer found a kindred spirit in Harvey, who was also interested in the family genealogy, and had many resources to share.
Among them was a memoir she wrote in honor of her cousin, George Peddy Cuttino, the author of the book Fischer bought from the Huguenot society.
According to Harvey, G. P. Cuttino published a piece of Georgetown history in the Georgetown Times in the 1970s, a story he called the Merry Widow of Georgetown, but is also commonly known as The Fire Story.
In the story, Esther Ann Toomer Porter tried to murder the Cuttino family three times of the course of several weeks by hiring a family slave to burn their houses down with the family inside.
Porter was jealous of Peters eldest daughter, Mary, who was going to marry the man she loved, Anthony Dozier, a junior partner at her dead husbands law firm. Peter eventually caught the slave and found out about Porters intents, although she was never convicted for her crimes and the slave was eventually hanged.
The Cuttino family lost everything in the fires. They searched the ashes of their home for melted silver, which was reforged into flatware. Harvey has two pieces of the family flatware spoons which she received as a wedding gift.
Harvey also had a memoir her grandmother wrote when she was searching for family information. Harveys grandmother traveled to Georgetown in 1935 and later in 1940, both times in search of Cuttino family history. She wrote in April of 1940 she visited a cousin, Julia Smith Pope, who was living at 421 Prince Street.
In Popes house, Harveys grandmother found many family heirlooms including a portrait for Elizabeth Coon Cuttino, the childrens mother, and a portrait of Henry Cuttino, the missing sibling.
She also had a portrait of Peter Cuttinos brother Henry and he looked very much like our portrait of Peter, the memoir states.
According to the memoir, Pope was not cooperative and Harveys grandmother left empty handed.
The missing brother has perplexed Fischer and Harvey.
We think Henry is still around, and we would like to know where Henry is, Fischer said.
Fischer has never been inside either of the Prince Street homes, although she did knock on the doors during her most recent visit to Georgetown. No one was home.
Since discovering her family history, Fischer said she always stops at the cemetery on Hwy 17 to visit her ancestors. Elizabeth and Henry are both buried there.
The Baptist church the cemetary belongs to burnt down years ago; now its flanked by a Pizza Hut and the Carolinian Inn.
I stop there every time I come to pay my respects.
Fischer said, now she knows of her family history, she hopes to one day move back to Georgetown.
And, she said, as long as she keeps visiting the town that holds so much history for her family, she will continue to search for Henry Cuttinos portrait.

I recently scanned a flyer for an 808 state gig (you were supporting Eat Static) at the Planet in Coventry in 1996 (I think), just wondered if there was any interest in me upping the scan or how I can submit it to the official site?
It was a really cool gig because I got to meet all the guys afterwards and they all signed my t-shirt, I think it was because I was the only person who bought one that night
Shame it got washed about 3 yrs later, grrrr.
Oh, someone would have to tell me how to add images here. I don't see an upload button.[/img]
