In his novel, The Jungle, the American muckraking author Upton Sinclair wrote about the horrendous work and sanitary conditions in the Chicago meat packing industry of the early 20th century. It is sometimes said Sinclair aimed for the heart but hit the stomach. That is because he aimed for progressive social and economic change, but instead his work prompted the founding of the Food and Drug Administration.
The same problem of missing the target confounds current discussions of the eurozone's problems. What the euro lacks is a government banker, not a lender of last resort as is widely claimed. Read more

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 24-year-old man facing revocation of supervised release on a conviction for attempting to make a bomb is accused of firing a shot into federal Judge Timothy Corrigan's home in June.
The Justice Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Marshal's Service, Jacksonville Sheriff John Rutherford and other officials announced details Monday of the arrest of Aaron Richardson on one count of attempted murder of a U.S. district judge, stealing a firearm and numerous additional charges.
Richardson is accused of stealing at .30-06 rifle and a box of ammunition from the Sports Authority on Arlington Expressway on June 20 or 21, then using it to fire one shot into the home of Corrigan's Southside home on June 23.
A Jacksonville Sheriff's Office report says police were called to the home at 12:38 a.m. after Corrigan (pictured, right) and his wife heard a loud bang and found a bullet hole in their window and glass sliding door.
FBI Special Agent Michelle Klimt said the bullet missed Corrigan by a few inches and he sustained minor cuts from broken glass. Investigators learned that the bullet went through two walls and the window.
"This investigation started with no witnesses and no evidence, other than the fragment of a bullet recovered at Judge Corrigan's home," Klimt said. "Through cooperative effort, we stand here today to announce the indictment of Aaron Richardson."
The indictment was unsealed Monday.
According to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrest report, Richardson was arrested June 25 at his Westside apartment on a U.S. marshal hold -- less than 48 hours after the shot was fired at Corrigan's home. The arrest report notes he received a dog bite from a K9 during the arrest after refusing to come out of his home.
At Monday's news conference, acting U.S. Attorney Lee Bentley III said that Richardson, while on supervised released on the sentence on the conviction for manufacturing an incendiary device, was arrested on burglary and other charges by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Richardson had failed to appear before Corrigan for June 3 and 11 court dates on violation of the terms of his release on the 2008 conviction.
Bentley said Richard likely was facing a return to federal prison when he is accused of stealing the rifle and shooting into the judge's home.
"This crime represented an assault upon the entire judicial system," Bentley said. "Both (Judge) and Mrs. Corrigan have cooperated fully with the investigation and they've shown exceptional heroism."
Channel 4 went to Richardson's address Monday night to see if anyone living in the area remembered Richardson. Neighbor Heather Beemer told Channel 4 she knew something was going on next door to her Westside apartment complex when the FBI and U.S. Marshal's showed up, but she said she didn't know what her neighbor had been charged with until news came out Monday.
"I'm just glad he's gone," said Beemer. "Honestly, I'm just glad he's gone and hope to God he doesn't come back, because he was staying there with his mom."
Beemer said she didn't know Richardson, but saw him around her apartment complex. Richardson's mother no longer lives in Beemer's apartment complex and Beemer says that's something she's thankful for.
"Very shy, didn't engage in any type of conversation," said Beemer. "He was just very weird. He's not like your normal guy (or) person you would talk to."
Richardson is charged with attempted murder of a U.S. district judge, discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, theft of a firearm from a gun dealer, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a stolen firearm, impersonating a police officer, and five counts of false statements to an FBI agent and nine counts of false statements to a probation officer.
While Richardson will be tried in the Jacksonville District of the Middle District of Florida, the federal judge from south Georgia will hear the case. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in federal prison.

Wessex Water will present £200 to the creator of the Box Rocks Circus on Thursday, to preserve the geological monument's long-term future.
The site was the brainchild of Elizabeth Devon from Keele University's Earth Science Education Unit, who will be presented with the Watermark award at the circus.
Now in its twentieth year, the award has supported over 800 environmental initiatives. Organised by The Conservation Foundation, all projects are judged by a panel chaired by its president, environmental campaigner David Bellamy.
The circus was completed in 2012 and aims to help schoolchildren and the wider public understand the geology of Britain.
Ms Devon said: "The large rocks tell the story of the movement of the British Isles from south of the equator to where the Mediterranean is today. When children get their hands on these rocks, it helps their imagination take those gigantic leaps into times past.
"Numbers in their millions and billions are impressive but hard to identify with. When children handle a piece of rock that has been around for 425 million years, clamber over it even - that is something solid. Box Rock Circus turns abstract figures into something that young minds can connect with.
"I hope Rock Circus will fire their imaginations to the dynamic nature of the Earth and her science of geology."

WXOW News 19 La Crosse, WI – News, Weather and Sports |
Wisconsin authorities blame heavy agriculture equipment for damaging the state's roads and bridges, and now they want to find a balance, according to WXOW News.
"Establishing some maximum width restrictions for these vehicles, and then we've also been doing some analysis to try to understand if there's any additional weight that could be allowed without causing additional stress or strain on the infrastructure," Dave Vieth, Director, Bureau of Highway Maintenance said.
Bluffs are also an issue, which can limit sight lines on the roads and lead to safety concerns.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation will hold a town hall meeting in Cashton, Wis., on Aug. 28 to discuss these roadway issues further.

Holly Robinson Peete on Autism, Allergies, and The Talk
"It's our passion to make others more aware and help families in the same situation as us."
-Melissa Chapman, http://www.marriedmysugardaddy.com/
Holly Robinson Peete, in my humble opinion, is a super woman, although ask her how she manages to pull it all off; motherhood to not one but FOUR kids, a long-term successful Hollywood marriage and the grind of a daily talk show, and she downplays the intensity of it all. Which, of course, makes me like her even more because she doesn't pretend to have all the answers, or to be an "expert", but rather cuts herself a lot of slack and is incredibly grateful for the fact that she's been able to sustain a career in an industry that spits out its youngest starlets at a break-neck pace.
But more than spending her days on The Talk presiding over current events and divulging tidbits of life with her former pro football hunk of a husband Rodney Peete, Holly is passionate about being an advocate for kids, whether it's rallying Washington to shed more light on families dealing with Autism, or her latest pet project — working with Dey Pharma to raise awareness about life-threatening allergic reactions, also known as anaphylaxis, and the issues related to anaphylaxis in schools. As a parent of children with severe allergies and a history of anaphylaxis, Holly is once again fighting the good fight and sharing her personal experience of managing her children's allergies to gain awareness for other parents of children with severe allergies. We caught up with Holly to chat motherhood, balancing acts and being an advocate for her kids.
Read Suzy's Sexy Secrets: 3 Questions You're Afraid to Ask Your Gyno
Motherhood, the balancing act — it's the age-old question, but how do you really do it?
I don't think there is a balance. There are good days and bad days. On good days, pat yourself on the back. You're going to drop the ball sometimes. You've got to pick the ball back up and keep moving. I find it helpful to make lists – an 'A' list of "must-dos" and a 'B' list of other priorities.
How have you been able to sustain a career in Hollywood as long as you have? What's your insider secret to not falling prey, as so many young starlets have, to splashy tabloid headlines of boozing and failure?
It's important to always stay professional so that you build a reputation of being someone that people want to work with. Be kind to the crews that you work with on set, because you will encounter the same people again and again.
What made you decide to take on the allergy cause? How have you personally been affected by your children's allergies, and why is this something every parent needs to be schooled on?
My children have severe allergies and I've been with them in life-threatening situations. I want more people to be aware of this serious issue.

LAKELAND, Fla. (March 3, 2012) - Rollins beat Florida Tech for the first time all season and did so when it mattered most as the second seed Tars scored a 72-68 win in the Sunshine State Conference Tournament semifinals Saturday.
Rollins advances to meet top seed Florida Southern on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. in Lakeland for the SSC title. The championship game will be broadcast live on Bright House Sports Network.
Ashley Jones led the Tars (23-5) with 14 points while Jasmine Bradley added 13 off the bench. Sarah Blackburn chipped in 11 points and seven rebounds.
Rollins won with a huge advantage at the free throw line as Bradley and Blackburn combined to go 17-of-17 from the stripe and the team hit 22-of-27. From the floor, the Tars shot 70 percent (12-17) in the second half and 47 percent (21-44) in the game.
Florida Tech (18-10) was led by 22 points from Jasmire Brown with Kayk Wilson netting 20. The duo combined to shoot 6-for-11 from 3-point range. Ashton McClairen added 12 points, five rebounds and five assists.
Tech hit 39 percent (25-65) from the field and were 9-of-15 from the free throw line, including two crucial misses in the final seconds.
The Tars got off to a quick start and led early, but the Panthers caught fire from long range and built a 22-17 lead with 6:47 to play in the first. Rollins then outscored Tech 15-4 the rest of the frame and took a 32-26 advantage into intermission.
Rollins was up by a game-high eight early in the second half only to see FIT come back and tie the score at 41 with 13:39 to play.
The Panthers comeback started a back and forth finish that featured five ties and six lead changes.
Florida Tech took a 57-52 lead with eight minutes to play until a 12-0 Tars run over the next four minutes put Rollins in control 64-57 at the 4:25 mark.
Rollins high was short lived, however, as Tech came back to tie the score 68-68 with 44 ticks left. Sarah Taylor put Rollins up two on the Tars next possession and then Briauna Hagins drew a foul for Tech with five seconds to play. She missed both from the line and, after a lane violation on the second toss, Blackburn drew a foul, sinking both for the Tars and sealing the win.
The victory puts Rollins into its 17th SSC Tournament title game and for the first time since 2009 where it lost to Tampa 55-29. The Tars and Mocs have met for the SSC title six other times with Rollins winning twice. The rivals split games in the regular season with each holding home court.
Fans can follow Rollins run for an SSC title live on the Tars Sports Network at RollinsSports.com, locally on 91.5 FM WPRK and on the Bright House Sports Network.

Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Mini Muffinsby Robin Miller in Uncategorized, November 6, 2012
In the fall, I utilize fresh and canned pumpkin as much as physically and culinarily possible. I adore filling my house with this gourd's sweet and nutty aroma and autumn in my house wouldn't be the same without it. That said, I'm curious why chefs don't combine pumpkin and chocolate more often. I got creative recently and made pumpkin muffins laced with semi-sweet chocolate morsels. Before you try them, I must warn you: They're wonderfully unique and incredibly addictive. In fact, my family devoured all 36 mini muffins MUCH sooner than I anticipated, leaving everyone hankering for more. Once the muffin pan was empty, my son Kyle looked at me with his big green eyes and asked, "Mom, can you make these before you go to bed tonight so I have something to look forward to in the morning?" Who can say no to that?
Not only are these muffins delicious, they're healthy too. Pumpkin is loaded with fiber, beta carotene and other powerful antioxidants. Plus, I lightened up traditional muffin batter by using low-fat vanilla yogurt and light butter, so each muffin has just 69 calories and 2 grams of fat. Give them a try and let me know what you think!
Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
Cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
15-ounce can pumpkin (not pie filling)
1/2 cup lowfat vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup melted light butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels/chips
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat three 12-cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the brown sugar and eggs until blended. Beat in the pumpkin, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the flour mixture and beat until just blended (don't overbeat). Fold in the chocolate morsels.
Spoon the batter into 36 mini muffin cups.
Bake 10 minutes, until a wooden pick comes out clean.
Cool muffins, in pans, on a wire racks. Devour.

That must have been stunning to witness, but the driver in the vehicle recording it was unflappable. Hundreds of people are being treated for injuries, almost all of which seem related to effects of the meteor's shock wave, though some meteorite fragments are reported to have hit.
We're supposed to be treated to an asteroid on a near-miss path this afternoon, but "experts"—the same guys who never saw this meteor coming—says the events are unrelated and the asteroid will not strike the planet.

Woody Hayes, the hot-tempered football coach who built Ohio State into a perennial national power and then saw his career end in disgrace after he struck a Clemson player during the 1978 Gator Bowl game, died in his sleep Wednesday night at his home in the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington, Ohio.
Mr. Hayes, who apparently suffered a heart attack, was 74 years old and had been in failing health for several years.
In a career that spanned 33 seasons, Wayne Woodrow Hayes won acclaim as one of the greatest tacticians in football history.
He was also one of the most successful. In his 28 seasons at Ohio State, his teams compiled a 205-61-10 record and were declared national champions by The Associated Press in 1954 and 1968, and by United Press International in 1957 and 1968. Mr. Hayes was named the top coach in the country in 1957 and 1975, and his total of 238 career victories has been eclipsed by only three major-college coaches, Paul (Bear) Bryant (323), Amos Alonzo Stagg (314) and Pop Warner (313), as well as by one small-college coach, Eddie Robinson of Grambling (336), who is still active. Started at Alma Mater
Mr. Hayes, who began his coaching career in 1946 at Denison University, his alma mater, compiled an overall record of 238-72-10, including 19-6 in three seasons at Denison and 14-5 in two at Miami of Ohio, his last stop before taking over at Ohio State in 1951.
Like Mr. Bryant, with whom he was frequently compared, Mr. Hayes was a coach who knew that football games were won during the recruiting season. And for all his reputation as an irascible, vindictive martinet, he had a soft, compelling side that came powerfully to the fore when he was sitting in a rural Ohio kitchen, charming the parents of a promising player.
''I like to go into a kid's home and talk to the kid's family and find out what they expect of their youngster -educationally, behaviorwise and that kind of thing,'' he once said.
The charm usually worked. Among the players attracted to Ohio State during the Hayes years were two Heisman Trophy winners, Howard (Hopalong) Cassady (1955) and Archie Griffin (1974 and 1975) and dozens of all-Americans. A Military Bent
A voracious reader who favored military histories and biographies of generals, Mr. Hayes sprinkled his speech with military terms and frequently quoted such personal heroes as George Patton. He also drew on his knowledge of battlefield tactics in designing an inspired ground attack that was often virtually unstoppable. Ohio State won or shared the Big Ten title 13 times, including a record six in a row from 1972 to 1977.
Although he was an admirer of the Air Force general Curtis LeMay and even named an Ohio State passing series after him, Mr. Hayes preferred the off-tackle ''Patton'' series. He seemed indifferent to the passing game, and as the forward pass became an increasingly potent weapon in college football, Buckeye teams, while they continued to win conference championships, seemed no longer quite as invincible.
For all his reading, Mr. Hayes, the son of a secondary school superintendent in Clifton, Ohio, sometimes seemed driven by an intellectual inferiority complex. ''I am not very smart,'' he once said, ''but I recognize that I am not very smart. So I outwork every S.O.B. that comes down the pike.'' Known for Tantrums
Throughout his career Mr. Hayes, a squat, square-jawed man with a fierce visage and an even fiercer temper, was known as much for his tantrums as for his victories. During practice he would beat his fists on the helmets and shoulder pads of players who displeased him and would occasionally become so frustated that he would fling his own watch and eyeglasses to the ground.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/3/2014 (1257 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
At their current level of development, Kevin Glenn is an upgrade over every single quarterback on the Winnipeg Blue Bomber roster, but he is not the pivot this team should move forward with.
In the ongoing Glenn sweepstakes, there are said to be two remaining franchises interested in acquiring his services. Rumour has it the B.C. Lions and the Blue and Gold are waiting patiently for Ottawa GM Marcel Desjardins to awaken from his dream-like state and lower the asking price for this accomplished and tenured CFL veteran.
Since Glenn left the Bombers at the end of the 2008 season, he has been to the playoffs every year, and has put his best football on his resumé. Apart from 2007, the year the Bombers went to the Grey Cup, where Glenn was the Eastern Division MVP and the runner-up for league MVP, all of his most impressive seasons came over the last five years. So why wouldn't it make sense to bring him into the fold, even if the asking price sits somewhere between obscene and ridiculous?
Because in the nature-versus-nurture debate over skilled quarterbacks, it is my estimation that Glenn is more a product of his environment than most. He is as good as the team and scheme around him, and at this point, no one is expecting the 2014 Bombers to be as good as either of the last two Stampeder teams Glenn has played for.
To be fair, Glenn has always responded when his feathers were ruffled, and after what Ottawa just did to him -- the old bait and switch, where they baited Glenn as their starter and switched to Henry Burris -- he could very well put up career numbers no matter where he ends up. That being said, it doesn't change the popular opinion that Glenn is better suited to a ready-made contender, and not the kind of guy to take a team from the outhouse into the penthouse and the numbers back up this contention.
The two highest completion percentages Glenn has had in his 13-year career, 66.7 per cent and 66.6 per cent, were both on teams in Calgary that won 12 and 14 games respectively. Two of the three highest passer ratings Glenn has had in his career, came on those two teams as well, with ratings of 100.5 and 97.2. When it comes to touchdown to interception ratios, it is commonly accepted that a good football season for a pivot is one with a ratio of two touchdowns for every interception thrown. In the two years Glenn was in Calgary, he combined for his best touchdown to interception ratio in his career, yet again, at almost 1.9 -- better than his cumulative numbers at any other stop.
With the Stampeders the last couple of seasons, Glenn, without question, was surrounded by the best talent he has ever been paired with. He had one of the best offensive lines in the CFL -- if not the best -- protecting him, and he had the league's most outstanding player to hand the ball off to, which forced every defence to play him honest, and afforded him ample time when he play-actioned. He was also playing in an offensive scheme designed by Dave Dickenson, the most coveted co-ordinator in the CFL, who can be a professional head coach in this league whenever he decides he wants to be. But he won't have these advantages anymore.
All pro athletes obviously play better when they are surrounded by upper-echelon talent and instructed in superior schemes, and Glenn is no different. It just says here that he works exponentially better with pre-packaged ingredients than when forced to formulate his own recipe for success, from scratch. He does not necessarily have the skill set to elevate and overcome mediocre accessories. This football team, in its reloading stages, is possibly better off with a pivot that will grow and improve with the team he is leading.
Just remember, if the Bombers trade for Glenn, you don't necessarily get Calgary Glenn. You get a Glenn that will have fewer tools to work with than he did in 2008 in Winnipeg, when he was shown the door and run out of town. He is a better QB now, to be sure, but for anything close to what the Redblacks are asking, is it worth the risk for a pivot that turns 35 this year?

Topic: Places to stay in Manhattan for treatment.
I am repeating this post for those who plan to take treatment in NYC and are looking for a place to stay for few weeks.
We stayed at Sutton court for a couple of months when my hubby was hospitalized. It is a very nice service apartment and costs about $200/ day. They require min 2 week booking. Don't forget to mention your hospital name. They do give hospital discounts.
Sutton Court Hotel Residences
417 East 57th Street
New York, NY 10022
Office: (212) 935-3300
Affinia gardens is another SA which is ok but more expensive.
Hopelodge is another inexpensive place recommended by ACS but as posted by Darla they only permit Opd patients.
The NY state metro transit is quite good. Train connection from Nj is also pretty good.

SAN FRANCISCO: City lawmakers will vote today on an ordinance that would prohibit nudity in most public places, a blanket ban that represents an escalation of a two-year tiff between a devoted group of men who strut their stuff through the city's famously gay Castro District and the supervisor who represents the area.
Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would make it illegal for anyone over five to ''expose his or her genitals, perineum or anal region'' in any public area.
A first offence would carry a maximum penalty of a $US100 ($A97.26) fine, but prosecutors would have authority to charge a third violation as a misdemeanour with a fine of up to $US500 and a year in jail.

Why is this news??? Any experience Developer knows that it's usually a bi weekly turnaround for a new beta release. But on occasion they do/may release on a 3rd week. Already have peeps making threads in Dev forums asking when Beta 3 is coming out? It's like really? Beta 2 has only been out for 4 days and your already asking about beta 3??? LMAO And as we tell them. They come out when Apple releases it to us.... But anyways go thru this same crap every year LOL
Beta 2 is very unstable on the iPad mini, hoping beta 3 will fix some of the issues I am having. I have experienced a few bugs on my iPhone 5, but that is to be expected. However, my iPad mini is almost unusable at times. It freezes at least 3 times a day so far.
Beta 1 was rough on my 5. Beta 2 is better but not solid. I still get soft reboots when multitasking. Although, I was on a phone call and went to back to springboard, I then selected iTunes and my phone went black and the pinwheel came up. My conversation was still ongoing and did not disconnect. Upon reboot, I had to unlock my phone and continued my conversation haha. Beta 3 will be better then we probably get Gold Master.
Stability on my 4s is crap. To be honest. I reboot at least twice a day. It deleted all my contacts., then all my notes. And third party apps never stay open for longer than 10 minutes. I am heavily anticipating beta 3
U're right bigboyz I with u 100% while on multitasking and I do get a soft reboot once in awhile. It doesn't matters to me because after all it is a beta version !!! Can't wait for beta 3 to be release . I love iOS7!!! Sacrafice my jailbroken version for this version.....
It would make sense. Plus it would make my week because Beta 2 is absolutely horrible compared to Beta 1. They added 1 feature, fixed most crashing bugs, and made new regular and crashing bugs that are wen harder to deal with.
Hey I recently upgraded my iPhone to 7 and was wondering how I report glitches I bought a developer placement on ebay and I found a glitch. apps can't access my music but they have no problem accessing photos
I too love iOS7 beta 2 is buggy on my iPhone 4 but I'm comfortable with it after all its a beta version how can anyone here *****. Also am I the only one that doesn't have the transparent keyboard after beta 2 update? I wish parallax was also a feature on the ip4 and quick response or quick compose.
And does anyone have a problem with beta 2 not allowing you to connect and sync with iTunes? Any fixes too? Thanks!

Dear Mrs. De,
Congratulations!!! You have correctly focused on three of India's obsessions: politics, sports and Bollywood. Your gits of clairvoyance should be applied only to these three, since these are the only three things that can lift a billion poor Indians out of poverty, a million middle class Indians out of lethargy and a hundred super rich Indians to the top of a ski slope in Switzerland.
Finding peace in sarcasm, specially in 2013,

Nosing around prevents fungal damage, as described in an article in New Scientist, 2 April 2005, p45. Staining and damage caused by fungal infestation of books, manuscripts, paintings, and other objects stored in libraries and galleries is a constant problem and is often not noticed until it is too late to restore the object to its original state. To help prevent such damage Naresh Magan and colleagues of the Institute of BioScience and Technology, Cranfield University (UK) have invented an early warning device that detects the presence of fungi in storage areas. The device is an "electronic nose" that detects volatile chemicals given off by fungi using an array of polymers whose electrical properties change when exposed to specific chemicals. Each different type of fungus releases a unique combination of chemicals so the "e-nose" can be designed to identify presence of species of fungi that are known to cause damage in libraries and galleries. The device is very expensive - around ten thousand pounds, and most libraries or galleries would need several to monitor their collections effectively.
A New Scientist reader wrote in with a suggestion for a cheaper, more flexible vapour detecting device that can move around the collections and identify precise sources of infestation, and can also be used as an intruder alert. "The device is known as a 'dog'", writes John Davies of Croydon (Australia), who also points out that such a useful mobile vapour detector wouldn't cost ten thousand pounds, each institution would only need one, and "it can, subject to a certain procedure, reproduce itself if required."
Editorial Comment: If the scientists who designed and built the e-nose were to develop their device so it had all the extra capabilities that a dog has, they will have to apply much more creative design and clever engineering. The reason a dog can do much more than the e-nose already, is that the dog was designed and built by a much smarter engineer. (Ref. design, olfaction, bio-engineering)

Cupcakes For Sale!Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Two boys were sent by their mothers to sell an equal amount of cupcakes each, worth one dollar per cupcake.
They were told not to eat the cupcakes they are selling, and that they should sell all of the cupcakes.
At the end of the day, all cupcakes were sold, yet neither boy gained nor lost a dollar.
What happened?
HintThe boys were obedient and did sell all the cupcakes. However, they ARE human...
AnswerEach boy became hungry after a while. One boy decided to buy a cupcake from the other boy, paying him one dollar.
The other boy also decided to buy a cupcake from the first boy, paying him one dollar, too.
And so it continued until all the cupcakes were sold, and both boys came home full and happy.
I can't say the same for the moms, though.

Nina Ricci Fall 2012
What has the Nina Ricci girl been up to since we last saw her? Playing in her mom's closet—a French closet, full of tweeds, little black dresses, furs, lingerie, and jewelry, that is. Some of it might well have belonged to granny (with the falling-apart ball gowns and all) and, quite possibly, given the quite enviably sexy outcome of her playtime improvisations—slit skirts, see-through this-and-that, a certain rumpled-hair dishabille look—she's just on the brink of being up to no good.
Peter Copping's mastery of the lexicon of the mentality of the Parisian jeune fille took a delightfully dangerous turn for fall. It involved many of the ideas that are streaming through the season: a touch of the bourgeois, a sense of the oversize, and the idea of how being covered up can also result in something provocative. Much of it comes down to just how sophisticated he is at manipulating luxurious fabric in a complex, but lightly casual, way. His girl, a tousle-haired beauty, seems to have spontaneously customized her fur collars, sloppily throwing them on coats to lay asymmetrically across her shoulders, not caring if linings show on the outside of tweed jackets, and enjoying the pretty possibilities of slips and lacy underthings as going-out wear. Some of the pieces she puts on seem too big—jet embroidery might dangle from her overlong sleeves; some of her dresses hang cutely loose—and she comes from a good family, this one. Heirloom jewelry is also within her grasp: diamonds draped naughtily around her neck and festooned as ankle straps around her shoes.
The skill here lies in Copping's light, modern combinations of "old" materials, and his pitch-perfect color sense in his choice of pinks, lavenders, and burgundys. And that's not to mention his many draped and embroidered treatments of black, in varying degrees of transparency. It was a personal, brilliant tour-de-force of that offhand chic that makes Paris a mecca for all that is great about fashion.

Python bindings for the Syck YAML parser and emitter
YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and interaction with scripting languages.
Syck is an extension for reading and writing YAML in scripting languages. Syck provides bindings to the Python programming language, but they are somewhat limited and leak memory.
PySyck is aimed to update the current Python bindings for Syck. The new bindings provide a wrapper for the Syck emitter and give access to YAML representation graphs. Hopefully it will not leak memory as well.
PySyck may be used for various tasks, in particular, as a replacement of the module pickle.
The old home of PySyck was http://xitology.org/pysyck/ (see also http://trac.xitology.org/pysyck/).
Projects using PySyck
If your project uses PySyck, feel free to add its URL along with a small note.
The Official Python Programming Language Website.
Pyramid is a simple, file based website templating system. Pyramid uses Nevow as its templating system and YAML as the format for its file based data.
PySyck requires Python 2.3 or higher and Syck 0.55 or higher.
You may download the latest Syck release from http://whytheluckystiff.net/syck/. Alternatively you download my unofficial syck tarball. It is the code from the Syck SVN repository with my SyckPatches applied.
The latest version
Syck Source
I prepared an unofficial syck tarball:
Windows binaries
- the distutils script checks the presence of syck.h.
- the extension module releases GIL before calling syck.
- The treatment of the !str tag is changed. Now !str-tagged scalars are converted to Unicode strings if they are valid UTF-8, but are not valid ASCII.
- Windows binaries are compiled against syck-0.61+svn231+patches.tar.gz.
- The site is moved to http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PySyck.
Older versions
Windows binaries
Quick example:
>>> from syck import * >>> print load(""" ... - foo ... - bar ... - baz ... """) ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'] >>> print dump(['foo', 'bar', 'baz']) --- - foo - bar - baz
For more details, please check README.txt.
Development and Bug reports
You may check out the PySyck source code from PySyck SVN repository.
If you find a bug in PySyck, please file a bug report. You may review open bugs through the list of open tickets.
You may discuss PySyck at the YAML-core mailing list.

Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoesby Amie Valpone in Healthy Recipes, December 9, 2012
Looking for new ways to spruce up potatoes at dinnertime? Here's a fun-to-eat baked sweet potato recipe to try. Stuffed with creamy filling made with freshly squeezed orange juice, Greek yogurt, brown sugar and pistachios these potatoes are sure to please any crowd. Don't forget to add mini marshmallows on top to get the kids excited to eat them.
Although many twice-baked sweet potatoes call for loads of sugar, I've created a festive dish that is naturally sweetened with fresh orange juice and flavored with cinnamon, pistachios and almond extract.
Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
14 large sweet potatoes
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
5 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup pistachios, chopped
¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil
25 mini marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with tin foil. Prick sweet potatoes with a fork; place on prepared baking sheet. Bake until soft, approximately 1 hour. Remove from oven; set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
Cut each potato lengthwise ¾ of the way through. Scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch border on skins. Transfer flesh to a food processor; process until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, butter, brown sugar, almond extract, orange juice, cinnamon, sea salt and pepper.
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Spoon mixture evenly amongst potato skins. Sprinkle with pistachios; arrange marshmallows on top. Bake on a baking sheet until marshmallows are golden brown, approximately 10 minutes.
Remove from oven; set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve warm.

Captain Howell A "Doc" Rayburn Confederate Guerrilla
21 October 1861 — Des Arc, Prairie County, Arkansas
Howell A. "Doc" Rayburn was a Civil War guerrilla chieftain who operated in the area between West Point (White County) and Des Arc (Prairie County). His legacy is a mix of fact and legend. His attacks and those of other guerrillas on Union outposts and expeditions tied up countless Union military assets that otherwise could have been used elsewhere.
Doc Rayburn was born about 1841 in Roane County, Tennessee, one of six children born to farmer Hodge Rayburn and Susan Rayburn. A few years later, the family relocated to Texas.
Rayburn joined the Confederate army on October 21, 1861, when he enlisted in Company C, Twelfth Texas Cavalry. The regiment moved to Des Arc in March 1862 and prepared to board steamers that were to carry them to Mississippi. When the regiment departed, they left Rayburn behind with a fever. In 1863, after a long recovery from his illness, he began recruiting local youths to form a guerrilla band. For the next two years, Rayburn and his band was a nuisance to Union military authorities, attacking scouting and foraging parties. In at least one such attack near West Point, Rayburn's men all donned Union uniforms and took their enemy by surprise. During Confederate general Sterling Price's 1864 Missouri Raid, Rayburn's command served as Colonel Thomas H. McCray's bodyguard. Numerous expeditions were mounted to capture Rayburn, but none were successful.
The most celebrated legend concerning Rayburn centers upon his activities at DeValls Bluff (Prairie County) in December 1864. He told his men that if he could make it through a Union picket line that evening, he would be their Santa Claus. He had a diminutive stature with long blond hair and blue eyes, and at barely 100 pounds, he passed rather easily for a female. Borrowing a lady's dress and other items, Rayburn made it through the picket line to a Christmas dance hosted by Federal officers. After an evening of dancing, Rayburn made his way to the corral, where he mounted a horse and stampeded enough for each man of his command to receive a horse for Christmas.
Rayburn married Martha Booth, the daughter of a prominent resident of West Point, on June 15, 1865, soon after the Civil War ended.
The exact date of Rayburn's death is unknown, but he likely died in late 1865 or 1866. Some state that he died of tuberculosis contracted while he was held by Union authorities in Little Rock (Pulaski County) after the war, while others maintain that he was shot by an acquaintance. His gravesite's location is also a mystery, but it is believed to be in the Des Arc area.

Holly Fulton Spring 2013
Designer Holly Fulton has always had a soft spot for Americana, and her signature Deco motifs are of the kind you'd find along Miami's Ocean Drive. Fulton took her first trip to Los Angeles earlier this year, and a Left Coast sense of ease worked its way into her collection. "I found the optimism and all those saccharine colors of the place very infectious," she said backstage after the show. Fulton cited 1960s skateboarder Patti McGee as an unofficial muse of the season, a name that will likely go over the heads of young fans of the sport. But it doesn't take more than a good search engine to understand her influence—Google her name and a striking cover of Life magazine dated 1965 appears, with the icon, wearing a bright red sweater and white cigarette pants, doing a handstand on her board.
That Californian take on athleticism bubbled to the surface of board shorts printed with cheeky pictures of naked ladies paired with a floral appliqué gray sweater sprigged with roses and an Airtex top that was strewn with pom-poms. Fulton elevated the sporting energy of the collection onto a luxurious plane by adding a multitude of textures to her repertoire. One full wasp-waisted PVC dress was scattered with sequin flowers, and a rattan box-pleated skirt came studded with blue stones. The designer has always kept a keen eye on the placement of her hand-rendered prints, a skill that she reinterpreted with embellishment—the basket weave and embroidered bodice of a dress had a particularly flattering line even if her forays into mixed-media snakeskin looks didn't quite hit the mark. Overall these experimental techniques were a welcome step in the right direction, giving what could have become a holding pattern in Fulton's work new wheels.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio House panel is nearing a vote on Republican Gov. John Kasich's (KAY'-sik's) proposal to raise around $1.5 billion for state highway projects through Ohio Turnpike bonds.
Democrats on the House Finance Committee planned to offer amendments Wednesday ahead of a possible vote. They want to see in writing Kasich's pledges to freeze tolls for trips of 30 miles or less and to spend 90 percent of deal proceeds in northern Ohio.
Northern Ohio leaders, including U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, echo those concerns. The administration says it will deliver on Kasich's promises, but placing precise spending targets in the law would limit flexibility.
Responding to Ryan -- a potential Kasich challenger next year -- the governor's spokesman said no one from Washington should advise Ohio on debt and budget issues.

Unfortunately, the Your Daily Donkey stopped his blog citing reasons of karma and bad taste. It was good for chuckles :(
I have no problems with sharing.
And I will give you MAYBE twice if you are the guy that paddles out really fast, turns like you are going to go cause you are in position, then you pus$ out as the face starts opening up while you are paddling in and then you pull out. You do that more than once, you are also done and every guy in the lineup is gonna drop in on you... ANd they will tell you why every time...
I won't usually be rude or talk smack to anyone in the water, but if I am sitting next to you, and I back off of a good set wave because you went for it, then you pull out or something. I will let out the biggest 'UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" you'ev ever heard... Just a sound of disappointment.
My example was one on a mellow, small, non-crouded day. Your right, if its good there is a defined lineup; your absolutly right. Move down the beach buddy cause your not surfing here. But if its just me and a very few other people in the water I'll help them out.

Own Jessica Chastain's Gorgeous Oscar Dress!
Still coveting Jessica Chastain's Alexander McQueen Oscar look? It can be yours, thanks to the wonder that is Net-A-Porter!
-Lucia Peters
It may have been a little polarizing (we happened to love it, but that's just us), but there's no denying that Jessica Chastain's Oscar gown this year was a statement-maker. A custom creation by Sarah Burton of Royal Wedding dress fame for Alexander McQueen, the silk-faille gown featured gold bullion embroidery. Talk about a dress worth a million bucks!
Well, maybe not a million—but $28,5000 still ain't nothin' to sneeze at. If, however, you do have that sort of money just lying around (in which case, we envy you), you can now snag Jessica's Oscar dress for yourself! Available on Net-A-Porter, this version may be a tiny bit different from Jessica's, but it's no less gorgeous. The site describes the dress as follows:
"Crafted with a couture-like sensibility, Alexander McQueen's silk-faille gown is a magnificent showcase for the brand's breathtakingly unique aesthetic. Tumbling tiers of silk-organza create a silhouette that is both dramatic and undeniably elegant, and the intricate gold embroidery and embellishment is even more beautiful up close. A neat clutch and earrings are the only additions you'll need to complete an unforgettable evening look."
Read Top 10 Most Gorgeous Spring Trends
Here, take a look:
Though the embroidery on Jessica's gown trailed all the way down the front, on this one, it stops at the bodice; furthermore, the skirt is a little fuller and made of clouds of organza, whereas Jessica's was more streamlined. However, both dresses feature black silk-faille, gold and bronze sequin embellishment, a sweetheart neckline, and a built-in corset—no special underpinnings required!
Of course, to complete the look, you'll need $2 million worth of Harry Winston yellow diamonds, but hey, who's counting?
Lucia Peters is BettyConfidential's associate editor.

School Bus Scramble 2Logic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Whew! Miss Appleday has been teaching first grade for a month, and is starting to get the hang of things. She's been doing such a good job with bus dismissal that the principal, Mr. Office, has asked her to help out with the after-school clubs and activities.
The school day is done, and five first graders are starting new activities today. Can you help Miss Appleday keep her attendance roster organized? She needs to know each student's first and last name, each student's chosen activity, and how each student is getting home today. She also needs to remember who goes to the school's aftercare program instead of going home after the activities are done.
First names: Chloe, David, Iris, Joe, Nikolas
Last Names: Beresford, Hastings, Plum, Watson
Activities: Brownies meeting, Drama Club, Hands on Science, Piano Class, Spanish Club
Getting Home: Aftercare, Blue Bus, Brown Bus, Minivan, Walking
1. The twins usually both ride the bus home, but David's mom picked him up from his activity twenty minutes early to drive him to his dentist appointment. David's sister took the bus as usual.
2. The child studying Spanish practiced his vocabulary afterwards on the Blue Bus.
3. Niko Plum is shy and does not take Drama; Miss Beresford is in Hands On Science.
4. Mr. Watson is completely tone deaf. Happily, he has no interest in music whatsoever.
5. Iris H. walked to her grandmother's house after her activity.
6. The student taking piano played a very good five-note scale at the end of class.
HintIn the U.S., Brownie Girl Scouts, or "Brownies", are Girl Scouts who are ages 6-8. They are called "Brownies" because their uniforms are brown rather than the green or blue worn by the older girls.
AnswerAnswer: Chloe Beresford took the Brown Bus home after Hands on Science.
David Beresford, Chloe's twin brother, left Drama twenty minutes early; his mom picked him up in her minivan and drove him to a dentist appointment.
Iris Hastings walked to her grandmother's house after her Brownies meeting.
Joe Watson took the Blue Bus home after Spanish.
Nikolas (Niko) Plum went to aftercare after piano class.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Three weeks from now I'll be visiting Chicago to participate in SQL Saturday. I'll offer two different learning opportunities:
On Friday, April 25, you can join me for a full day seminar on parallelism and performance in SQL Server. This class covers in-depth background on the hows and whys behind SQL Server's parallel processing, followed by an investigation of advanced techniques that you can use to improve performance of some queries by an order of magnitude or more. The class is filling up, so make sure to register soon!
On Saturday, April 26, I'll deliver my newest talk, "Clash of the Row Goals." I unveiled it the first time this past weekend at SQL Saturday Boston, and Joe Chang happened to blog about it a few hours ago. In this talk you'll learn how to shape and modify query plans by leveraging an understanding of query optimizer internals -- without using query hints. I've decided to call this technique planscaping. The idea is to create beautiful query plans that perform well and don't break at unexpected times. That's a good thing, right?
Hope to see you in Chicago!

WWII Sgt A D June, Navajo Code Talker, WWII
2001 — Window Rock, AZ
NATIVE AMERICAN; Navajo Code Talker, Sgt Allen Dale June; US Marine.
Allen Dale June and Navajo Code Talkers Received Congressional Gold Medal in 2001
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. - Allen Dale June, one of the 29 original Navajo Code Talkers who confounded the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in their native language, has died. He was 91.
June died of natural causes Wednesday night at the Veteran Assistance Hospital in Prescott, his wife, Virginia, told The Associated Press on Thursday. (19 Sept.2010)
Allen Dale June (November 28, 1921 – September 8, 2010) was an American veteran of World War II. June was one of the 29 original Navajo code talkers who served in the United States Marine Corps during the war.
June was born in Kaibito, Arizona on November 28, 1921, to a Navajo family. His mother was Kin?ichíi?nii, born for T??ízí?ání, and his father was named Yé?ii Dine?é, born for Tachíi?nii. June graduated from Tuba City Vocational High School in Tuba City in 1941. Once the United States entered World War II later that year and began recruiting Navajos as code talkers, June hitchhiked to Fort Defiance and Fort Wingate to enlist.
June enlisted in 1941 and became one of the 29 original Navajo code talkers in the U.S. Marines....... he served until the end of World War II in 1945, when he was honorably discharged with the rank of sergeant.
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — Allen Dale June, one of the 29 original Navajo Code Talkers who confounded the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in their native language, has died. He was 91.
June died of natural causes Wednesday night at a veterans hospital in Prescott, his wife, Virginia, told The Associated Press on Thursday.
His health had been failing since earlier this year when he was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection and kidney failure because he wasn't drinking enough water, his wife said. He was hospitalized again two months ago after visiting family on the Navajo Nation and was transferred from a Flagstaff hospital to Prescott, where he was under round-the-clock care.
The Code Talkers took part in every assault the Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. They sent thousands of messages without error on Japanese troop movements, battlefield tactics and other communications critical to the war's ultimate outcome.
Several hundred Navajos served as Code Talkers during the war, but a group of 29 that included June developed the code based on their native language. Their role in the war wasn't declassified until 1968.
June, who attained the rank of sergeant, received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2001 along with other members of the original Code Talkers.
"The Navajo Nation lost a great warrior," Tribal Council Speaker Lawrence T. Morgan said in a statement. "His unique service to his country brought positive attention to the Navajo Nation. He will be missed."
June first tried to sign up for the Marines in his hometown of Kaibeto on the Navajo Nation, but a recruiter told him he was too young. He then traveled to the reservation town of Chinle to enlist — because he figured people there wouldn't recognize him — and he could lie about his age and forge his father's signature, Virginia June said.
- Most popular
- Even after the code was declassified in 1968, June said little about his role as a Code Talker because he viewed it as bragging, his wife said. Anyone who saw him in the past several years might have been able to guess he was a Code Talker, as he wore a red Navajo Code Talker cap with his name on it wherever he went and a black leather jacket with "Marines" written across the back. He completed his look with a bolo tie that had a large turquoise stone.
Virginia June routinely handed out cards bearing Allen June's picture and rank in the Marines that he had autographed.
Besides his wife, Allen June is survived by 10 children. Funeral services are scheduled for Monday in Page, with burial in Kaibeto.

SUNRISE, Fla. - In 2010, the Saint Leo women's cross country team earned its first-ever All-Tournament showing at the Sunshine State Conference Championships. In 2011, the women made one more giant leap in the race for conference glory as Tereza Novotna clinched first-place in the 2011 SSC Championships with a 6K time of 21:44.60, Saturday morning from Markham Park.
Novotna, a two-time SSC Runner of the Week in 2011, snapped the program record for a 6K time as she finished four seconds ahead of the next closest competitor in the 52-person field.
It's the best finish for any Lions' competitor at the SSC Championships. The win also marks the first time a Lion has claimed medalist honors at any event.
The team finished the run in fourth-place, accumulating 97 points. The total was only three points shy of fourth-place Florida Tech.
On the performance, Coach Melissa Miller-Mangen stated, "Tereza ran a very smart race. It could have been any of the top finisher, but she (Tereza) settled, was mentally tough and responded well to surges."
However, it was a solid team effort which saw the Lions nearly crack the top-three.
Jillian Browne impressed as she finished just 30 seconds outside a top-10 finish, closing her race at 24:03.84.
Outside of Novotna, Amanda Leon was the highest-finishing freshman for the Lions as she clocked with a time 24:57.98. Holly Blackburn finished just outside the top half of the field as she closed with a time of 26:05.29.
Mariah Moss pushed through with a time of 27:34.18, while Kali Carney two spots back from her teammate at 28:11.04.
Elyse Snyder and senior Melissa Goldstein bookended the Lions performance as they crossed the tape with times of 30:25.01 and 32:31.43, respectively.
Overall, Tampa won its fifth straight Sunshine State Conference Women's Cross Country Championship.
The Spartans tallied 29 points to claim their eighth conference title in nine years. Host Nova Southeastern registered 69 points to finish second. Florida Tech placed third with 94 points. Florida Southern (105) and Rollins (114) rounded out the standings.
Tampa's Jess Butler was second with a mark of 21:48.06. Florida Tech's Nicole Clarke placed third in a time of 21:56.60. UT rounded out the top-five with Heather Nicolosi (22:08.69) and Kaia Hampton (22:50.17) finishing fourth and fifth, respectively.
The Lions will now begin preparations for the final meet of the 2011 season as they will compete in the NCAA South Region 8K race on Saturday, November 5. Stay current with SaintLeoLions.com for news, updates, and information on the cross country team.

"These place cards are PERFECT and 100% what I was looking for! They look amazing in person and I was able to pick three colors of the star fish for our three different dinner options. The best part was the customer service that I received when ordering. The process was easy and stress-free. THANK YOU!"
"I requested the table line to be omitted as we only had one table, and it was done immediately. They also caught that I hadn't selected the pearl shimmer paper to match our menus. Great customer service!!"
"I ordered these placecards for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party. The placecards are beautiful and the quality is outstanding; could not be happier!"
"Ordering was easy. My notes about what to print were followed precisely. I wish the print had been a tiny bit bigger, but they came exactly as pictured. I just forgot how small place cards are!"
"The entire Artistic Orchids paper set is absolutely stunning. I used all the products for our beach wedding in Hawaii and they were prefect. The design matched my flower arrangements so well. The paper quality was amazing and ordering the products were so easy! The Orchid Place Cards looked beautiful at our reception and were easy to write on. All of our guests took their table numbers home as a little memento from the day."

How many of you mostly use 'point-and-shooter' (compact) cameras and how many use SLR's?
If you use both, please choose whichever you prefer using.
How many of you mostly use 'point-and-shooter' (compact) cameras and how many use SLR's?
If you use both, please choose whichever you prefer using.
Voted SLR
woo hoo!
Fun :weee:
Fun :weee:
I'd like to get a nice compact cam when I can afford it too. Thinking of a Powershot.
P&S doesn't necessarily mean compact camera. There are bridge/prosumer cameras as well which are in P&S category only but they can give entry level dslrs a run for their money.
Also, Olympus & Panasonic have now brought out micro four-thirds cameras which are not SLR (Single Lens Reflex) but unlike non-SLRs till now they support changeable lenses, thus having best of both worlds. :tup:
And I'd say it was about time, SLR technology is more than 50 years old & while it made sense in analogue cameras, it never made any sense to me in digital cameras!!
I agree. Also, the imitation sound-of-a-shutter in Digital Cameras has always annoyed me!
SLR for me, though I like to have a compact/point and shoot near me when I am on the go and don't have my SLR with me, just in case an interesting shot comes up.
prefer SLR...just like the feel and weight of a larger camera, I think.need to use mine more, though...haven't shot very much in the last few years.
Point taken.
My point-and-shoot has begun to crap out on me, so I just picked up an iPhone to replace it. I'm missing the zoom and comfort of the point-and-shoot, but love how I always have the iPhone for those quick interesting shots that appear daily.
I try to carry a P&S around with me whenever I go out. I like the convenience, plus, some of them are getting quite good these days.
Ill prefer SLR
I have a compact camera, a small lumix. I like it because I can take it anywhere. Obviously, I don't do professional shooting so... it is more than enough for me
I gots Ye Old Standard, the Pentax K-1000 : ) While I love it, I don't bring it with me when I go places where I would likely want to make photos, such as to YAPC (Yet Another Perl Conference) or on vacation because it's heavy after carrying it a while... that and I don't want to break it. Where I used to live there was this old Russian guy named Peter who knew all old cameras inside and out and could fix anything (making his own parts if necessary and lots of ancient parts at his shop) but now I'm very far away from him, and I don't expect a modern camera shop to be able to fix anything I break.
I guess what I would find ideal is my Pentax with the preview abilities of a digital camera and less weight. I'm sure something exists like that but I'm actually not really a camera or a gadget person, so I don't keep up.
I'd like an SLR, but if I had one, I'd rarely use it as I generally don't want to carry a big bulky camera bag everywhere with me. I currently use a Canon S1IS but even that's a lot larger than I'd like.
My next camera is likely to be an itty bitty thing I can keep in my pocket all the time.
After that I might buy an SLR as well, but the itty bitty camera will be coming first, simply because I'm a lot more likely to be taking photos on it. Plus, I'm usually taking photos of scenery so lighting is usually not a problem and there's no need for a short focal depth, so any old half-decent camera can usually do the job fine (ish).
Now mobile phones pixel is also high, but still not a good professional digital.
SLR for me, I like the fact that the image sensors are so much larger and less prone to noise. This shot was hand held with available light @iso3600 on my trust Pentax istDL
There are some great P&S units around, my favourite features of these are the fantastic amount of optical zoom that's available.
Where is that?
I shot the following photos at Hastings Cave in Tasmania with a Canon S1IS on a tripod with no flash. There's no way I could have shot it handheld without a flash as it was nearly pitch black.
I'm not exactly a photographer, and photos I take tend to end up on websites, but I have a really great little compact camera I use - Casio Exilim EX-Z 1080. It does perfectly well for what I need, and I'm just not into it enough to get an SLR or 4/3.
I have been using a Canon A650IS which has quite a few manual settings as well. Most of the photos on my gallery are from it: My galleryI have just tried using the CHDK software again but have bitten the bullet and ordered a Canon 500d which should be here on saturday.My daughter can not wait to get hold of the A650IS when I get my new camera; the wife then gets my daughters old camera !
There is a version of CHDK for the SX200IS Shaun(OfTheDead) which should give you more options: CHDK

"Released from Death Row: What Now?"
February 6, 2013
Justice Sciences presents a Colloquium with Kathryn Morgan, Associate Professor of Justice Sciences
1:00-2:30 p.m.
Hill University Center Alumni Auditorium
Approximately 5000 individuals are wrongfully convicted each year in the United States, and of that number, approximately 2000 are incarcerated. What is even more alarming is the fact that wrongful convictions occur in capital punishment cases. Since the reinstatement of capital punishment, there have been approximately 138 defendants who were convicted and sentenced to death, and who were then acquitted at re-trial, had their convictions overturned, or charges dropped.
In her colloquium, Morgan explores the cases of eight Alabama former death row inmates who were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death. Although acquitted of all charges, released individuals are often still viewed with suspicion. This research focuses on what happens when inmates are released from death row. This research is a part of a book project: America's Legacy of Shame: Wrongful Death Convictions in Alabama 1900-2011.
Dr. Kathryn Morgan is the Director of the African American Studies Program in the College of Arts and Sciences.
