canon sx50 video low light exposure question
Hi!, I´m considering to buy the canon sx50, i would use it mainly for indoor videos mostly zooming until 600mm (equiv.) max. I´m currently using a canon a630 which has a 1/1,8´ sensor and 4,1 aperture at 140mm tele, indoor videos are not awful but less than acceptable for my taste. The sx50 has a back illuminated sensor but 1/2,3´ and from what I´ve found googling, it has 5,6´max aperture until about 600mm. My question is, will the sx50 deliver better or at least equal low light video quality (but of course more res, and optical zoom) considering it has a back illuminated sensor and maybe other improvements since it´s a newest camera or it´s low light sensitivity will be noticeably affected because of its smaller sensor and slower aperture? in the last case i don´t know if the price of the sx50 would be justified, is there another cheaper camera with full hd videos and swivel screen but maybe less zoom to consider? Thanks!! and forgive my english!

Can someone tell something about this please?

As the lead voice in Dr Seuss' The Lorax, actor Danny DeVito jumped at the chance of playing the grumpy yet charming moustached creature because the project tugged at his heart strings.
''I'm a dad of three,'' the 67-year-old says. ''Even though my kids are now in their 20s, I remember reading Dr Seuss books to them when they were little. They grew up with The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and, of course, The Lorax.
''It was a personal favourite of mine because I think it is a lot of fun. I was so happy when I heard they wanted me to do the voice.''
DeVito also learnt he had plenty in common with the character.
''We certainly have the same political views,'' he says. ''I really want this planet to stick around for my grandchildren.''
The film, which has an environmental and anti-corporate greed message, also stars Zac Efron, Taylor Swift and Betty White.
Ted Wiggins (Efron) is an idealistic, upbeat 12-year-old boy who lives in Thneed-ville, a walled city that is almost entirely artificial. In an effort to impress the girl of his dreams, Audrey (Taylor), Wiggins wants to find the one thing that will impress her the most - a real tree.
To portray the character of the Lorax, DeVito says there was ''plenty to gesticulate about during my voice sessions because this movie has such a great message''.
''We're making a movie which is fun, adults are going to go crazy for it and dig it, but the idea is that if one kid thinks about how excess is going to hurt even them, we've done our job,'' DeVito says.
An environmentalist for many years, the actor says he tries to do his best when it comes to conserving, recycling and being as green as he can be. ''I just bought the coolest car this week,'' he says. ''It's called a Leaf. I got rid of my gas guzzlers years ago.''
At his Beverly Hills home, DeVito and his wife of 30 years, actress Rhea Perlman, who he says has a green thumb, also have a vegetable garden. ''My wife and I plant winter and summer vegetables,'' he says. ''We hardly buy any vegetables outside what we have in our yard.''
GENRE Computer-animated 3D musical comedy.
CRITICAL BUZZ This comedy with a message has been a hit at the US box office, despite mixed reviews on the Rotten Tomatoes website.
STARS Danny DeVito, Zac Efron, Betty White, Taylor Swift, Ed Helms.
RELEASE Thursday.

Fox's Starnes Mocks Obama For Supporting Gay Olympians
Fox News Radio reporter mocked President Obama for statements he made in support of gay Olympians who might be targeted by Russia's strict anti-gay laws during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
During an August 9 press conference, Obama stated his opposition [1] to Russia's anti-gay laws - including a measure that would criminalize "homosexual propaganda" - saying "nobody's more offended than me by some of the anti-gay and -lesbian legislation that we've been seeing in Russia."
Starnes took to Twitter to mock the president's comments, accusing Obama of discriminating against heterosexual athletes:
He also advanced the bogus right-wing talking point [2] that Obama was prioritizing gay rights over other foreign policy considerations:
Fox News has completely ignored [3] the controversy surrounding Russia's strict anti-gay laws, which could threaten [4] openly gay Olympians and visitors during the Olympics in February.

"Today's" Matt Lauer and Al Roker Score Cameo in "Sharknado 2"
Fans of Syfy's successful horror film "Sharknado" are in for a treat! "Today" hosts Matt Lauer and Al Roker announced this morning (April 2) that they are set to appear in the sequel to the viral flick.
Matt and Al filmed their scenes for "Sharknado 2" in NBC's Studio 1A and shared a behind-the-scenes look with fans during today's broadcast of their hit morning show.
The overly acted clip shows the pair fighting a green object, which is expected to become a CGI shark with the power of filmmaking.
After revealing the clip to their "Today" audience, Matt said, "That was the pivotal scene in the entire movie that we've just given away."

Ah, hysteria. A few backs back, when Estonia's government websites were hit with distributed-denial-of-service-attacks, ordinarily-smart people were quick to point the finger at Russia — and declare this to be first full-scale cyberwar, if not the future of warfare itself. Leading newspapers dispatched their correspondents to Eastern Europe, to uncover what had happened. Great magazines planned massive coverage. Never mind the fact that no one was hurt by the onslaught of ones and zeros. Never mind that the connection to Russia was dubious, at best.
Then, just as quickly, the "cyberarmageddon" fell apart. Researchers could find no links to the Russian government. And now, as our brothers at Threat Level note, Estonian ministers are conceding that "the Russian government may not have been responsible, after all." The prime minister asking Moscow for help in tracking down the perpetrators.
"It is clear this is criminal activity. I hope Russia will co-operate in those cases with Estonia," Prime Minister Andrus Ansip told a news conference in Helsinki, according to Reuters.
UPDATE: I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that one of the some of the most shrill prophets of "cyberarmageddon" are hosting a day-long seminar on "psychic information warfare & intelligence gathering." No, I am not making this up.
Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.
Remote viewing, psychic information warfare & intelligence gathering
Paul Smith, retired Intelligence Officer & DoD Remote Viewer
For 23 years, from 1972 until 1995, the American defense and intelligence community sponsored research and deployed operational units of psychic warriors. The premise was simple and the results staggering.
In this incredible, first-of-a-kind full-day seminar you will learn the basics and the history of remote viewing. In the Cold War remote viewers were used to collect intelligence on Soviet and Chinese weapons' systems and research and development facilities, to search for
Hizb'ollah-held hostages, find Silkworm missiles secretly deployed by
Iran, and to locate traffickers and contraband in the war on drugs –
all involving skill-sets directly applicable to today's operational challenges.
Amazingly, despite the naysayers remote viewing actually works.
Learn how! In today's information wars how can remote viewing help?
Get inside the adversary's "Headquarters" or their deployed positions and observe? Have unprecedented access to the mind-sets and perceptions that affect their actions? Gain advanced warning of times and locations for terrorist attacks or other high-interest events?
Experience the experiments yourself. The Russians were/are heavily involved in similar endeavors. Who else is getting ahead of the psychic curve? Sign up early because remote viewing and psychic information warfare are real and here to stay.

Classic Car Show Brings Horsepower to Horse Country
OCALA- There was plenty of horsepower in horse country this weekend for a classic car show. Thousands came to the "Ocala Pumpkin Run" car show at Castro Farms Sunday. Car enthusiasts checked out all kinds of rides from antique styles to newer models. Since Friday the show has attracted more than 1,500 participants from around the country, all hoping their hard work would pay off with a trophy. Organizers also hope to grab the attention of a younger audience. A judge at the Pumpkin Run Show Ed Nash said, "If you don't teach the kids of today about the cars of yesterday there is going to be no car shows of the future. It's all about keeping the sport alive or the hobby if one wants to call it that. Kids decorated pumpkins, played in bounce houses, and took a ride around the farm. This is the car show's third year in Ocala.

Though it consists of all-new footage, Escaflowne is still a 93-minute condensation of a 26-episode TV series, with all the pitfalls of such you'd expect: too many characters, no reason to care about them, forced dramatic beats and excessive exposition. Matters aren't helped by a flat, generic English dub. The story, such as it is, plays like an anime stereotype, featuring a schoolgirl drawn into a fantasy world where possession of a giant bio-organic cyborg could mean the rejuvenation of the planet or the end of it. It's all probably more meaningful to those familiar with the show, but as Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me proved, a cult series audience can make for a mighty small crowd. The big-screen surround-sound effects are nice; too bad they're the only aspect of the film that's ready to rumble. And parents, be warned: There's an astonishing amount of bloodletting for a PG-13 film.

Last month, one of the biggest financial scandals in history came to light, involving many of the most pre-eminent banks in the world.

Everyone knows that being filthy rich is one of the perks of being a professional sports athlete. When athletes go from college to the NBA, MLB, or NFL they instantly become very well paid, full-time professional athletes.
The story isn't the same for aspiring mixed martial artists. It starts at the amateur level (unpaid) and then a fighter can choose to become a professional and start getting paid to fight, but the paychecks aren't huge starting out. A second job is usually needed in order to achieve their goal of someday becoming the world champion.
The general assumption is that even guys that fight in the UFC are so well paid that they don't need a part-time job or anything on the side. It's true that the top level guys like Brock Lesnar, BJ Penn, and Anderson Silva don't have jobs besides being a full-time mixed martial artist. But every fighter has to start somewhere and having a job on top of being a fighter is very common for guys starting out in this crazy sport we call mixed martial arts. This list shows that every fighter has to do whatever they need to do to support a family and chase their dream at the same time.

have 69 roadrunner 440/727....just got it together the other night and got it rumbling....my first mopar build. I'm excited to get into the building of motors and away from my normal profession....anyway....to my question....I know the mechanics behind setting the timing, but in changing from a stock cam to a different cam to I'm sure that I make timing changes, but what changes I'm unsure of. Retarding or Advancing...a mechanic I know says that I can use the cam card to get close....is this true? My hydraulic cam is gross lift 507/507 duration @.05 235/235 lsa/icl 108/104. thanks guys for helping a learning mopar guy and forgvie the long question....just excited about this car and new hobbies. you just can't beat the sound of a big block and looking over at the red light at an import.
There are many variables that could effect your initial advance setting, but generally you can get close by knowing the camshaft duration at .050". So the mechanic was correct by saying to use the cam card.I will not be taking into consideration the vacuum advance you would be using in light load/cruise conditions. This will only be about initial advance and mechanical advance.You are generally safe using 36 degrees total advance (initial + mechanical) in a 440 IF you are using the proper octane fuel. The ratio of initial to mechanical will change depending upon duration at .050With 440 ci and <220 degrees at .050 use 10-12 degrees initial & 24-26 mech. 220-240 @ .050 use 12-16 20-24 mech 240-260 @ .050 use 16-20 16-20 mech 260+ @ .050 use 20+ 15 or less Once you have found the correct initial timing, add mechanical advance so you have a total of 36 degrees.As an example, on a recent 451 we built we used a cam with 276/280 @ .050 and found 28 degrees initial and 10 mechanical for a total of 38 degrees to work very well. A 383 with 218/224 liked 17 degrees initial and 20 mechanical for 37 total.Again, these are general suggestions to get you in the ballpark. Make sure you are using the correct fuel for your cylinderhead design, cam design and compression ratio. You will have to do your own tests and plug readings to get everything correct for each individual engine.

Only Fools And Horses stars Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst have lead tributes to Roger Lloyd-Pack who died today aged 69.
Sir David, who played Del Boy in the BBC1 sitcom, said Lloyd-Pack was not only a fine actor but "a pleasure to work with".
"I was very saddened to hear of Roger's passing. He was a very quiet, kind and unassuming actor who was a pleasure to work with," he said.
"Although he played the simple soul of Trigger in Only Fools And Horses, he was a very intelligent man and a very fine actor capable of many roles. I shall remember him with fondness and for all the good times we had together."
The actor was one of British television's best-known faces thanks to his role as dopey roadsweeper Trigger in the long-running comedy.
Maureen Vincent, his agent, said Lloyd-Pack had pancreatic cancer and "died at home surrounded by his family" in north London last night.
Nicholas Lyndhurst, who played Only Fools character Rodney, also praised the late actor.
He said: "I'm so saddened to hear about Roger. He was the most accomplished actor and loved by millions, I will miss him greatly."
Although best-known for his part in Only Fools And Horses, Lloyd-Pack appeared in dozens of films and television shows, including a regular role as farmer Owen Newitt in The Vicar Of Dibley.
Father Ted creator Graham Linehan was among those who paid tribute online today. He said: "Very sad news about Roger Lloyd Pack. Trigger was an ancestor to Father Dougal."
Gavin and Stacey star James Corden tweeted: "So sad to hear about the passing of Roger Lloyd Pack. What an incredible actor and person. May he rest in peace."
Cricket broadcaster and friend Jonathan Agnew said: "Devastated to learn of death of Roger Lloyd-Pack. Good friend, loved cricket … Sad day."
John Challis, best known as Boycie in Only Fools And Horses, said: "I spoke to Roger two days ago. It is very sad and very distressing." Lloyd-Pack was also a successful stage actor, appearing regularly at Shakespeare's Globe, but knew that he would always be best known as Trigger.
In a 2012 interview, he said: "People will never stop shouting 'Trigger!' at me in the street. The other day I jumped some lights on my bike because someone was hollering at me.
"A police van pulled me over, and when I stopped they also shouted, 'Trigger!' It can be very annoying."
Lloyd-Pack was politically active and a prominent campaigner for Left-wing causes in the capital.
He had four children and also leaves his wife Jehane Markham, whom he married in 2000.
Daughter Emily shot to fame in the 1987 film Wish You Were Here before suffering health issues.

Are You Upset About the Government Shutdown?
Are You Upset About the Government Shutdown? (VIDEO)
We're in day two of the federal government shutdown and Americans are none too pleased about it.
I don't know about you, but my Facebook and Twitter streams have been on fire with Democrats AND Republicans expressing anger, disappointment, and fear about the fact that our legislators can't seem to come to an agreement about, well ... just about anything.
Our writers from The Stir were eager to talk about the shutdown and how it makes them feel about the folks on Capitol Hill. Check out our video discussion in this week's Moms Matter Google Hangout.
This morning, reports indicate that our legislators are no closer to coming to any sort of deal on the federal budget. Experts say the shutdown will last at least a week, possibly TWO weeks.
Fortunately, things of major importance like mail service, Social Security payments, and our soldiers' salaries are still covered -- but 800,000 "non-essential" federal workers are getting an unexpected, unpaid vacation right now, and with the holidays coming up, the timing couldn't be worse.
Also, some unexpected repercussions are happening as a result of the shutdown. Searchers can no longer look for the body of a woman who went missing at Moon National Monument. A couple's dream wedding was canceled as a result of the shutdown. And who knows how many family and school trips to Washington have been ruined this week by the fact that nothing they traveled to see is open?!
Our politicians need to get their acts together and learn to compromise. Seriously, people. If our kids can do it, SO CAN YOU.
How do you feel about the government shutdown? Are you frustrated with legislators right now, or do you feel it's important for them to stick to their guns, even if it means going to extremes?
Quite honestly, no I am not. The cherry on top would be to stop taking my taxes. But that wont happen since we have to pay roughly 95,000,000 in politician salaries a year.
Yeah, I'm mad. Compromices are suppost to be made, that IMO, is why we have a 2 party system, so that they can balance eachother out. Their current behavior is just gross.
I quite honestly am appalled at how childish our Gov. operates. It's like a game to them, to see who wins. Why both sides can't see what needs to done in this Country I will never understand. Maybe, I'm not getting this at all. But, to me, it seems quite obvious. This Country is broke & cuts need to be made. So, why is that so hard for both sides to see this?
I hear about it all the time, about all the money spent on programs that are so ridiculous. Programs that we are spending a lot of money on, that shows aren't working. All the waste, fraud & abuse in other programs, yet both sides can't agree on cutting that out? All the money we give to other Countries, what both sides can't agree we can't afford doing that anymore?
no, know your history. I think Coolidge said it best "Better to fight, than to accept medicore". We currently live in a era of losers, not even medicore, so when one fights for a better way, I say go for it.
I'm pissed at Obama and Reid for politicizing this and blaming instead of getting their butts at the negotiating table. I'm pissed at some Republicans for demonizing their own colleagues.
All these guys - the House, the Senate, the President - negotiate for a living, for God's sake! Why not cut the political rhetoric and do your damn jobs.
But Dems are trying to intimidate Republicans from doing their jobs for the American people, and insisting on fairness under the law, and protecting the economy and jobs.
But Dem leadership wants instead to score points instead and put the American people in the middle.
And the WH is purposely trying to make this as painful as possible for the American people. Barricading open air public monuments that aren't even usually manned by the NPS? Blocking vets in their 80s from their one chance left in their lifetimes to visit the WWII monument? Telling the Army and Navy academies that they can't play their football game? Reid refusing to fund the NIH for children with cancer? And Obama is even trying to introduce uncertainty into the financial markets so it falters, and then blame it on Republicans. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
All of you, step over your egos, get to the table, and start negotiating, so this thing can end and we can move on to the debt ceiling. And for God's sake, go back to regular budgets so we can kill the insanity of these Continuing Resolutions based on THE 2008 BUDGET.
Sometimes you have to stand your ground..as the pict insinuates...I hope the American people wake up.
If I am upset about any part of this, it is that dingy Harry and 'Bama are acting like willful spoiled children. They will do nothing, compromise nothing, discuss nothing... which makes THEM the party of "NO!"
And as for the poor workers who are getting an unexpected and unwelcomed vacation............ all I can say is, welcome to the real world, sweetie! They should not have been so caught off guard. When your budget depends on politicians, you should know better when there IS no budget, and the deadline is looming. It isn't quite the same as going in to work, to find out that the doors have been shut permanently.... so, I don't feel a bit sorry for them in particular.
I am GLAD that the democrats will no longer be held HOSTAGE by the republicans. They are spiteful little brats who think that by not allowing anything to happen they will always get their way. They are like a child screaming and thinking their parents will eventually give in. Well, they were right with the sequester, so now they are screaming longer, which is to be expected, but I hope we have grown up enough to stay the grown ups and NOT GIVE IN because of their tantrum.

I know where that is some of my friends used to live there.
Talked it over with my better half :smt083 , going to go and purchase the Sig P238 next weekend. :mrgreen: I like the way it handled and shot for a CCW, just couldn't resist buying the M&P 9mm compact on Friday.
I like a full size gun more than the SC, I would go with a FS or a C for carry. Just as easy to conceal with a little thought. Sig P220.
I thought about getting one also I havent carried my P250c yet. theres a lack of Sig accessories around here but I think a P238 or even the p224 would be easily concealable in the summer months
I have the Sig P250 SubCompact. While I know its not recommended the gun is a great shape and weight in that I dont even feel the need to use a holster. I realize it is not advised, but I do not carry with one in the chamber so it works for me. Not to mention my pants are quite tight.
Get a p229. I can't wait to pick mine up!!!
I'm a P226 guy, but I have a lot of affection for the P220 as well.
how much larger is the p250sc / p238
i usually open carry, but when i do conceal, its the same gun, my sig p6
P 239 in 9MM.
+1 on the P938. Great trigger, good sights, Sig quality, what's not to love?
The P239 is pretty heavy, but makes a good carry gun. The P226, P229 and P220 also make nice CC weapons.
I carry the Sig P290. No...not the RS version. I have had absolutely no problems with my Sig. It conceals IWB o front pocket carry. The long DAO trigger is perfect for IWB carry. Less chance of shooting any really important body parts off.
Either my P-6 or my P220. I carry a 1911 when I travel cause it fits in my cross draw.
Just picked up my new P229 Elite today. Haven't had a chance to fire it yet but love it so far.
I am in AL to-ABC Agt ret-and we dealt with Sigs as duty weapons(and Glocks/S&W&Glocks). Glock 17s were poor stoppers>Sig P220s-better quals/Agt morale>political change>G22-poorer scores-weapon pointed too high!. UC Agts had Sig P230 380s-poor scores,ammo sucked. Kel-Tec PF9 was better weapon with better ammo and scores(+ not a "cop gun") on UC/CCW issues. I have no experience with the Sig P250. The P226/P220 was 100% for us. P250 looks like politics.
Here's my choice, the 239 9mm. Compact enough to carry under a polo shirt, but hefty enough to tame +P's and allow accurate shooting. It's a tough choice between this or the 250SC, but I like to get all fingers on the grip. Overall they are about the same size, except the grip length. Spare mags for the 239 are easier to carry, either in a pocket or a mag carrier. Now if Sig will do an "E2" kit......
I carry either a
Sig P228
or a S&W M&P 9c
Both are excellent guns in every way.
The Sig is about 2 oz. heavier (not a bg deal in a OWB holster)
Good luck in your search

Are below-zero temperatures tormenting your spirits along with your car battery? Tired of shoveling and snow blowing? Wouldn't an afternoon on a warm and sunny Florida beach be nice? Since most of us can't get away right now, an upcoming concert at the chapel is the next best thing.
Brad and Jen, a local musical duo who happen to perform frequently in Florida, are in town to share their soft acoustic rock songs from the 70s to today. Brad plays the piano and Jen the guitar; both provide vocals and make you want to sing along. If we're lucky, Jen might even play her ukulele! Music can transport us when nothing else can. It's better than an extra dose of Vitamin D!
This concert benefits the Community Preservation Committee's care of the Willard Memorial Chapel and its beautiful Tiffany interior. Admission is $10 per person at the door. The chapel is handicap-accessible through its north entrance off Seymour Street.

Anoying sound in house water pipes when sprinklers are ON
Hi all,
I am very furstrated with this anoying sound of water running through my pipes all over the house when the sprinklers turn on. I would try to describe this the best I can.
There is a loud sound of water running through my water pipes all over the house. This anoying sound seems to be worst around the two restrooms which are back to back (one in hall way and one in a room). This sounds seems to be louder with 2 out of 4 sprinkler valves. I hear the sound of metal pipes heating each other (I think I can fix that myself by securing them better). The most anoying problem is this other noise that sounds as if the pipes are..."not completely fill as if they are carrying air". It is difficult to describe this sound.
The worst part is that the valves to the sprinklers are tapped very close to the main line coming into the house... so I assume that when the sprinklers are on, there should not be any water running through the rest of the pipes on the house.
I have had this sprinklers for a couple of months now and I have lived in this older house for about a year. All the pipes are copper and not that old. This were inspected when I purchased the house and even after by a plummer when I had some work done.
Has anyone have experience the same problem? Any ideas how this can be resolved or what should I look for under the house with the pipes that my be a possible cause of this sound?
Thank you
You must have a master shutoff valve for the sprinkler system. This may be partly clogged with sediment, not be open all the way, or have a loose washer.
Or a crushed pipe somewhere along the line.

Antarctic team boosts medical care with 3D ultrasound
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Australia's Antarctic research stations, cut off for nine months of the year, are taking lessons learned from space to try to improve the diagnosis and treatment of staff remotely.
Australia's Antarctic Division operates some of the world's most remote outposts and assignments on the icy, blizzard-prone continent have been likened to working on a space mission.
Dealing with a medical emergency or trying to make a complex diagnosis has always been a challenge and during the long winter months of isolation evacuation is impossible, leaving station doctors to treat all manner of illnesses.
To boost medical care, the division and the Royal Perth Hospital in Western Australia are developing a set of guidelines that would allow staff with minimal medical training to use newly developed 3D diagnostic ultrasound.
"This the first study that involves 3D or ultrasonic volume imaging in extreme medicine," project member Marilyn Zelesco, a sonographer at Royal Perth Hospital, told Reuters. Extreme medicine is conducted in very remote locations.
The idea is for the images to be stored and then forwarded to specialists for analysis, aiming to free up the outpost doctor and provide an extra level of medical care.
"It's not possible to train a generalist doctor in all facets of medical care, diagnostic care where you would normally have a whole team of specialists who would conduct expert investigations," Jeff Ayton, the division's chief medical officer, told Reuters.
On Saturday, a doctor at Australia's Mawson research station in Antarctica demonstrated the new 3D equipment for the first time in a live cross to Ayton, who was attending an international space medicine gathering in Houston, Texas.
Traditionally, ultrasound requires trained sonographers to operate and interpret the images but it was not possible to employ such experts at the division's research stations. On space missions there is even less room. Continued...

The Saving Graces: A Novel (edition 2004)
by Patricia Gaffney
Work details
The Saving Graces by Patricia Gaffney
No current Talk conversations about this book.
DNF-donated Wanted to like this one,but Emma kept going on abt Mick draco and I just couldn't take it anymore.
For the past decade, four friends - Emma, Rudy, Lee, and Isabel - have shared an abidingly deep affection for each other that has kept them strong. Their friendship has helped them all deal with the ebb and flow of various expectations and disappointments commonly experienced by so many women. Calling themselves the 'Saving Graces', this quartet is united by understanding, honesty, and acceptance - interweaving bonds of familiarity that have only strengthened as the years go by...
Emma, a sharp-tongued, soft-hearted skeptic, doesn't believe in love - until she meets the one man she can never have. For her, the Saving Graces have become the fall-breakers extraordinaire. She firmly believes that, "bad news doesn't hurt as much if you hear it in good company."
A stunning beauty with an extraordinary capacity for love and a shaky, dysfunctional past, Rudy is desperately trying to hold on to her deeply troubled marriage. She has always viewed her friendship with the Saving Graces as truly life-affirming. She honestly has no idea where she would be without them all, although she freely acknowledges, "I don't know why my friends bother with me, I'm so high-maintenance. I would run if I saw me coming."
Lee, whom everyone else is certain is "the normal one", longs to have a child of her own. Yet her overwhelming desire for motherhood threatens to destroy an otherwise idyllic marriage. The Saving Graces are the sounding board on which she unburdens all her hopes and fears. She fears that her inability to have children will eventually become an obsession for her, "I know I'm consumed by our infertility, and that's not fair to Henry...He says I blame everything that's wrong with us, everything that's wrong with my whole life, on the fact that we can't have children."
Isabel, as the oldest member of the quartet, is a true survivor. Someone whose wisdom and strength were forged by her experiences of some of the worst trials life can possibly offer. Hers is the guidance and practical insight that propels and grounds the Saving Graces. Hers is the quiet, yet equally sustaining 'voice of reason' to which everyone listens.
Her view of the Saving Graces is profoundly simple: "We're all productive, tolerably sane, functioning adults, we Graces, with no more emotional baggage - well, except for Rudy - than you would expect in a random sampling of aging yuppie women. And yet our childhoods were disasters. Occasionally, we four play the intriguing 'What keeps us together?' game, and the fact that we all survived our childhoods is mentioned early and often."
Although these four sisters of the heart and soul have seen it all, as well as talked through it all; nothing can possibly prepare them for what comes next. Emma, Rudy, Lee, and Isabel will each face a crisis of such astounding proportions that the strength of the bonds of love, loyalty, courage, and friendship that these remarkable women share, will ultimately be tested like never before. Captivating from first page to last, this mesmerizing story illuminates the emotional links that define and join us together as women.
The Saving Graces: A Novel by Patricia Gaffney poignantly illustrates just how friendship sustains and enriches women's lives in unique ways - ways no romantic or family relationship ever can. Seen by many as a source of solace, support, and spiritual nourishment, friendship is a tie that powerfully connects women to each other in unforgettable, joyous, sometimes painful ways. While men, jobs, and crises may come and go, nothing lasts like true friendship.
This is actually the second time that I have read this book - the first time that I read it was approximately ten to fifteen years ago. I must say that I enjoyed it just as much the second time as I did when I first read the book. I have always found Ms. Gaffney's writing style to be highly evocative and tremendously sensitive to her audience. Her characterizations are always deeply grounded in reality; they are sympathetic, yet also very relatable in their respective reactions to certain situations.
I was completely immersed in the story in a relatively short period of time, and quite willingly lost myself in the story of these four remarkable women. I found the book hard to put down and was rooting for the Graces all the way through. I would certainly give this book an A+! and will happily keep it to read again some time soon.
What a lovely book! It focuses on a women's friendship group, narrated in turn by each of the four regular members. It covers two years in their lives, as they suffer various problems and work through them together. Moving and well-written - really four-and-a-half stars!
This is the story of four women who form a women's group in Washington, DC and quickly grow to be close friends. It's not really even clear why they form the group to begin with; they start out discussing "topics" each meeting but soon drop that in favor of just hanging out together. Each of them has a problem, as is common in this type of novel. One has left an unfaithful husband, only to be struck with breast cancer; one has psychological problems and a controlling husband; one is in love with a married man, and both have moral scruples about adultery; and the fourth is infertile. They support each other through all these troubles. The characters are engaging and Gaffney tells the story using multiple points of view (each character "speaks" in turn, chapter by chapter) which is a useful device for this type of story. It was quite enjoyable.
Excellent story of 4 women and their various trials. Well-written, moving, kept my attention thoroughly once I got into it. Recommended it to many people.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060598328, Paperback)Unlike the Graces of Greek mythology, the ones in Patricia Gaffney's feel-good novel, The Saving Graces, are not in the business of dispensing charm and beauty. Though they possess some measure of good looks, Gaffney's Graces are more focused on the less ethereal problems of life: men, careers, babies, death. And there are four, rather than three, of them (Emma, Rudy, Lee, and Isabel), who have been getting together for regular dinners in their Washington, D.C., homes for 10 years.
The narration of The Saving Graces rotates among the four women and gets right to the heart of each Grace--the stories they tell stick close to the territory of their emotional lives. This intimate directness makes Gaffney's women seem, well, womanly. Serene Isabel, who has always been "the best champion, the kindest friend" to all the other Graces, is dying of breast cancer. Rudy needs to leave her ultra-controlling husband. Lee, usually the rational one, is possessed by her desire to have a baby. Ironic Emma wants to write a novel and has a hard crush on a married man. This group feels messy and real: they keep secrets from each other, grate on one another's nerves, and analyze each other. But ultimately, all four know that they've lucked into a very good thing. Not just because they share the sweetness and silliness that comes with friendship, but also because they are willing to act as soldiers for each other. When Rudy finally gets up the nerve to leave her husband, for example, she doesn't do it alone: "Isabel stood on my right, Lee on my left. Emma had taken a seat on the bed--an escalation of the offense, usurping more enemy territory." In Gaffney's universe, women armed with grace, humor, and a couple of good girlfriends can transcend even the most painful events in their lives. --Katherine Anderson

Inpendence Day in Albany for NYS Senate
New York, NY —
The divided New York State Senate remains firmly split, and Governor Paterson is making good on his promise to keep the feuding senators in the Capitol until they can get along. Karen DeWitt reports from Albany.
REPORTER: Democrats continued to claim that votes on over 100 bills taken Tuesday were valid even though they counted a Republican senator, who happened to be walking across the chamber to get a cup of coffee, as the crucial 32nd vote.
The Republican-dominated coalition held an open leaders meeting but Democrats didn't show up. Governor Paterson says there will be plenty of time for the senators to think about resolving their arguments since they will be spending the holiday weekend at the capitol.
PATERSON: I have issued proclamations for special sessions through July 6th. Yes the legislators are spending the July 4th weekend in Albany, hopefully resolving this conflict.
REPORTER: The senators ended their 9th special session Wednesday, but accomplished nothing. In Albany, I'm Karen DeWitt.

Home prices slip
Home prices in Canada slipped again in January from December, marking the fifth consecutive month of easing.
Prices dipped 0.3 per cent on the month, and climbed 2.7 per cent from a year earlier, but that, according to the Teranet-National Bank house price index, was the smallest annual increase since November of 2009.
Of the six major centres measured, prices fell in four from December. But, aside from Vancouver, all registered year-over-year increases.
In Vancouver, prices fell 0.81 per cent in January from December, and were down 2.54 per cent from a year earlier.
Prices in Calgary slipped 0.1 per cent on the month, but rose 4.29 per cent on the year.
Toronto, which with Vancouver has been the focus of Canada's cooling real estate market, saw prices dip 0.37 per cent between December and January, but register a gain of 5.31 per cent from a year earlier.
Montreal also suffered a monthly decline, of 0.18 per cent, though prices were up 2.6 per cent from January 2012.
Only Halifax and the Ottawa-Gatineau region saw increases in both the month and the year, the former by 1.69 per cent and 6.61 per cent, the latter by 0.47 per cent and 2.72 per cent.
The Teranet-National Bank measure, different from the monthly report from the Canadian Real Estate Association, also studies 12 cities. On that count, January marked the 14 consecutive month of slowing growth in prices.

B.C.'s triple-A rating 'wobbles' after budget
Economists are questioning the outlook for British Columbia's triple-A credit rating this morning after a fiscal program that may never see the light of day.
The province is moving in the right direction, observers say, but May's election could derail, or at the very least change, the pre-campaign measures unveiled yesterday by Liberal Finance Minister Mike de Jong. At this point, the Liberals lag in the polls.
Mr. de Jong's budget calls for tax increases, asset sales and spending restraint to achieve a surplus of $197-million in the 2013-14 fiscal year from a projected deficit of $1.2-billion this year.
The government's credit rating was already under threat. The province boasts a triple-A from both Standard & Poor's and Moody's, though the latter just recently slapped on a "negative" outlook given mounting debt and weaker economic forecasts.
"Given Budget 2013's projection of a growing surplus beginning in FY 13/14 (as targeted) and stabilization in relative debt levels the year after, it would appear that the province is taking the requisite initial steps to see its stable outlook restored," said senior economists Michael Gregory and Robert Kavcic of BMO Nesbitt Burns, noting the debt is "stabilizing" and that B.C. now boasts one of the top ratings among the provinces.
"However, with a provincial election looming, this fiscal plan is unlikely to be passed by the legislature and any post-election plan could look materially different from the one tabled today," they said in a report on the budget, which included a section on how the province's rating "wobbles a little bit" given the budget and the outlook.
"As such, uncertainty about the 'resolve to achieve fiscal redress' and the ability 'to stabilize and then reverse the accumulation in debt' lingers, and the wee wobble persists," they added, referring to the Moody's report.
What's interesting is how the BMO economists would otherwise have called it a "Mission Accomplished" budget, but for the fact that it's a pre-election plan.
- Budget turns to big business to put B.C. back in black
- John Ibbitson: The provinces are broke, and we're all on the hook
- Andrew Jackson's Economy Lab: Budget should aim to even out provincial taxes, services
- Provinces' grim outlook clouds Flaherty's fiscal forecast
- Ontario Liberals' Throne Speech offers concessions to Tories, NDP
Energy prices: How the West was lost
While B.C. was unveiling its budget, Alberta was releasing a fiscal update made bleaker by the outlook for oil prices.
In the first three quarters of the current fiscal year, Alberta's deficit was some $500-million above what was forecast, and the government is now looking at a full-year gap of $3.5-billion to $4-billion, again beyond what was expected.
"Resource revenues have been the key downside factor through the first three quarters, coming in $2.4-billion below the budget plan," said BMO's Mr. Kavcic.
He noted that Alberta now projects the average price of West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, at $91.82 a barrel in this fiscal year, down from an earlier projection of $99.25.
A difference of $10, he added, eats into Alberta's revenues to the tune of $2.2-billion.
Not only that, but the update projects that the annoying spread between WTI and Alberta crude will be $21.20, compared to the earlier budget forecast of a discount of below $16.
"With the current fiscal year's finances under duress, Alberta's FY 13/14 budget (March 7) will be one of the most hotly anticipated in the country," Mr. Kavcic said.

Savers, fear not
Savers looking for high interest options now that Royal Bank of Canada is shutting down the high-rate accounts it acquired in the purchase of Ally can switch to Bank of Nova Scotia-owned ING Bank with no fear, Streetwise columnist Boyd Erman writes today.
ING quickly sent out tweets trying to lure Ally grumpy customers with a special offer. Anyone taking ING up on the offer should have no worries that ING will similarly end its high rate business now that Scotia is in charge.

BHP chief downplays takeovers
The new chief executive of mining giant BHP Billiton PLC says mergers and acquisitions will not be a major part of his strategy, The Globe and Mail's Paul Waldie reports.
Andrew Mackenzie, who is taking over as chief executive officer from Marius Kloppers, said during a media conference call today that his main priority will be to "run our very impressive ore bodies extremely well."
He added that while BHP won't completely rule out mergers, they are "not central to my strategy." Instead, he plans to concentrate on cutting costs and improving the company's "capital discipline."
BHP announced late Tuesday that Mr. Kloppers will resign in May after a near 20-year career at the miner including nearly six as CEO.

Coolant issues....
Would any of my fellow Focus owners be willing to take a look at their radiator cap and see if they have the same "normal" "condensation" present?
These photos were taken with just over 20,000 miles on the car. That crud did go the entire way around the cap but I chipped that section off in order to show the thickness in the second photo. That second photo also shows a white crystalline buildup that was present on the cap.
Not only was this tan colored crap on the cap it is floating in the coolant and is on the walls of the tank. Of course, I was told that this is "normal" and is simply "condensation". Even the crud in the coolant and on the tank walls was called "condensation". I guess you could say that I'm not buying that explanation. In order to confirm, I'd like see if anyone else is seeing this same "normal" occurrence.
Since these photos were taken the car was in to have a coolant leak diagnosed (of course they couldn't find it, surprise) and that crud was cleaned off of the cap by the tech. I can't see the crud in the coolant any longer do to the addition of fluorescent dye by the tech.

Exploration of market-based risk adjustments for health insurance
The Foundation's Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization program was designed to support research, demonstration, and evaluation projects examining major changes in health care financing.The purpose of this project is to explore alternative risk adjustment mechanisms to compensate health plans that incur adverse risk selection. The project will look at how other markets with asymmetric information and unequal risk levels spread the risk among suppliers. The objective of this research is to understand how other markets distribute risk in order to provide lessons for how the risks of health insurance might more fairly and efficiently be spread among plans. To determine how these other market mechanisms spread risk, the researchers will read the literature about each market and will interview people who have been involved in creating financial instruments, who trade on the futures market, or who have implemented pseudo-markets. The goal of this research will be to determine how feasible it might be for the government to encourage or implement a market driven method of determining risk for health insurance.

text: Volkswagen of America Chief Stefan Jacoby Plans Move to Replace Stephen Odell as Volvo Chief Worldwide Share Comments The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemaine (FAZ.net) reported this morning that Volkswagen of America head Stefan Jacoby has been chosen as the replacement for current Volvo Cars chief executive Stephen Odell. We've been told that Volkswagen's own employees have not yet been officially notified but highly placed sources at the German company's Herndon, VA headquarters confirm this is the case and an official communication is expected shortly. Word from FAZ is that Mr. Jacoby had set his sights on the chief sales position for Volkswagen AG in Wolfsburg but when a replacement for that position was recently named and it was not him he accepted the top spot at Volvo. According to FAZ (but unconfirmed by this website's editors) is that Volvo had been in talks with several other unnamed Volkswagen executives for the spot. Jacoby's own reign at Volkswagen of America since 2007 has been impressive if short-lived. Volkswagen's strong upward movement despite a down market has been impressive but more significant changes such as the new mid-sized sedan and start of production of VW's new American factory in Chattanooga have yet to begin. It's unclear at this point whether Volkswagen has a replacement ready to take the helm at this point of quick change going on at VW of America.

Grassini Family Vineyards expanded their offerings recently in collaboration with Duffy & Partners, adding a series of everyday varietals and a new reserve label. The Grassini family are inspired by passion, hard work, and a love for wine. The packaging presented in their new reserve label reflects this, highlighting a balance between premium wines, tradition and beauty. Available in red and white varietals, the reserve line takes initiative from the original design released back in 2010. Bottles have a luxe feel to them where they feature a black letterpress label and metallic ink.
The black label has been transformed with a silk-screened message and each is individually signed, numbered and hand-dipped in a gold wax seal. This is a stunning piece of design, displaying decadence and opulence.
Fully aligned with the Bordeaux tradition of the estate, the Grassini winery creates Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot varietals which also complement the Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. The updated varietals include; 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, 2011 Articondo Bordeaux blend, 2012 Estate Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc and 2010 Equipo Sauvignon Blanc. The company's branding is a perfect mix between intricate, delicate and bold. Bottles clearly represent the Grassini values, and show how the family's business has evolved over four generations whilst consistently staying true to their roots. The newest packaging is an extension of the vineyard's first phase of brand revitalization released in 2011, and takes this initial momentum further forward.
Happy Canyon and Articondo are Sauvignon Blanc and Bordeaux blend wines, featuring a simple letterpress label which has illustrative imagery depicting the vineyard and family homestead's history. Happy Canyon and Articondo detail a simpler letterpress label with illustrative imagery from the history of the vineyard land and the family homestead. The images depicted are a conscious nod to Grassini Family Vineyards' commitment to sustainability. Equipo is an offering depicting the steadfast hard work which goes into the production process. The seal of a wheelbarrow for example highlight this, and perforations provide a working label look.
Here at GraphicDesign.com we wanted to showcase these fantastic design elements and to find out what you think. Which is your favorite?

Environmental groups, Media Matters team-up calling on WaPo ombudsman for George Will correction
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
Today, Media Matters President Eric Burns joined Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope, League of Conservation Voters President Gene Karpinski, and Friends of the Earth President Brent Blackwelder in issuing a letter (PDF) to Washington Post ombudsman Andy Alexander asking him to address several blatant falsehoods in George Will's February 15 column about global warming. The joint letter rebuts several falsehoods in Will's column.
As Media Matters recently noted, Alexander reportedly responded to one of these claims with further distortions of the facts.
Jason Linkins at the Huffington Post has more on the story:
Pressure on the Washington Post over a controversial George Will column, entitled "Dark Green Doomsayers," has escalated from being the passion project of media watchdog groups to a core concern of environmental leaders. These figures have launched a coordinated campaign against the Washington Post, seeking a correction of the record.
The basic thrust of the column in question, published on February 15, 2009, goes something like this: a long time ago, scientists thought that the planet was poised to undergo a calamitous period of "global cooling," and also some other scary stuff about armadillo migration and the price of copper, and all of this proves that as the scientific community is so prone to lapsing into trendy, chi-chi "doomsaying," there's no real need to heed any concerns about global warming.
Basically, it's an attempt to zero the balance of Will's objections to environmental initiatives by asserting, "once upon a time, these higher minds thought precisely the opposite, so this is just some great comedy." In reality, the article only proves that if you multiply a germ of scientific inquiry with George Will, you get zero. Throughout his piece, Will misuses his cited sources, misrepresents their findings, and omits the essential conclusions they reached.
In addition to the joint letter, the League of Conservation Voters blog notes:
We do not expect Mr. Will to apologize for the failings of his column. We do hope that the Washington Post, one of America's great bastions of top-notch journalism, will publicly retract and correct inaccurate information that appeared in its pages.
Despite several documented inaccuracies, Post Ombudsman Andy Alexander continues to stand by Mr. Will's column. That's why the folks over at Media Matters brought together the leaders of the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and LCV: to try one more time to set the record straight.
While Friends of the Earth encourages their members to take action and email the Post ombudsman:
George Will's February 15 Washington Post column, "Dark Green Doomsayers," contained numerous factual errors that painted a highly misleading picture of scientific knowledge about global warming. This is not the first time the Washington Post has published demonstrably false statements written by propagandists who wish to deny climate science.
Please use the form below to send a message to the ombudsman of the Washington Post – the paper's "internal critic" whose "job is to represent the interests of readers, hold The Post to high standards and explain its inner workings to an often-suspicious public" – to demand that the paper formally correct Will's column and stop publishing falsehoods.
Does your local paper carry George Will's column? Have you contacted the Washington Post and asked that they correct Will's column?

Fatmagul (Beren Saat) is a beautiful and naïve girl who lives in Cesme (a touristic place in western Turkey). Due to the death of her parents, she lives with her brother. She plans to get married Mustafa (Firat Celik) in the summer. She loves him and wants to get married as soon as possible in order to overcome the emotional pain of grudging charity of her sister-in-law.
An unforgettable tragedy transforms Fatmagul's life so radically that she will never be able to go back to the way she used to live. One day, she is raped by four people, Kerim (Engin Akyurek), Vural (Bugra Gulsoy), Erdogan (Kaan Tasaner), and Selim (Engin Ozturk). In order to shade the sins of rapists and protect them, Fatmagul is forced to remain slient and get married to one of her rapists. Fatmagul's whole life changes after this tragedy but bad things never end. After this tragedy, her fiancée Mustafa doesn't want to be with her so breaks their marriage promise. Now, Fatmagul is alone and has no choice, but to get married to Kerim. She wants nothing more than to forget about her checkered past and live the rest of her life quietly and at peace with the world. While she tries to start over a new life in the big city, the story becomes more complicated when her ex fiancée follows her to Istanbul?
In this story which is the adaptation of Vedat Turkali's novel, you will explore a dramatic story of a beautiful and innocent girl. Also, this story attempts to answer whether two people – two enemies because of sins and mistakes of others – can learn to love each other in a marriage agreed only on paper. Will Mustafa catch up with Fatmagul and learn the truth? Will the rape shade the innocence? Will the past be forgotten?

The present work was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of Delonix regia leaves (Family: Caesalpiniaceae). The powder of Delonix regia leaves was subjected to extraction with ethanol in soxhlet extractor. The ethanol extract after preliminary phytochemical investigation showed the presence of sterols, triterpenoids, phenolic compounds and flavonoids. The anti-inflammatory activity was studied using carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and cotton pellet granuloma at a three different doses (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg b.w. p.o.) of ethanol extract. The ethanol extract of Delonix regia leaves was exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity at the dose of 400 mg/kg in both models when compared with control group. Indomethacin (10 mg/kg b.w. p.o) was also shown significant anti-inflammatory activity in both models.

Israel Accepts Egyptian Cease-Fire to End Gaza War
An Israeli official says Israel has accepted an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire plan to end a seven-week war against Islamic militants in the Gaza Strip.
The official said Tuesday that Israel "responded positively" to Egypt's call for an open-ended cease-fire.
Egyptian state media reported the cease-fire was to begin at 7 p.m. local time.
The Israeli official said Israel would ease its blockade of Gaza to allow humanitarian and construction materials to enter the war-battered territory.
He said indirect talks on more substantial issues would begin in Cairo within a month.
Issues are expected to include Hamas' demand for an end to the blockade and Israel's calls for Hamas to disarm.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue with journalists.
