I'm from China and my husband is from Germany and we hosted our wedding in Sungai Tinggi Villa. My Chinese family and his Germany family plus our Australian friends were staying together for beautiful 4 days. Price is very good for the space, location, premium rooms and great services that we received. It is very worthy. Service is so-good. They met our last minute requests. Villa Manager Made & his staff speak good English and respond very promptly. We have language challenge but they always tried to understand us. Sometimes my family last – minute ordered Asian food, they indeed rode bikes to buy food for us. Sometimes staff helped take care of baby. Their food is so delicious - dessert were freshly made everyday. Their breakfast and Balinese meals are so good. We have gluten free vegetarian guests and they sourced specially gluten-free bread for us. Lastly, the whole villa is very very friendly, thank you.

The villa is beautiful, the garden is very well kept and the beach was also a wonderful experience. Above all that, the most wonderful thing here at Sungai Tinggi is the great staff and friendliness.

June 21st, 2015 - June 27th, 2015
This villa surpassed every possible hope we could have for a special, relaxing and pampered holiday. From the moment that we arrived until we left the staff and management of Villa Sungai Tinngi were superb and couldn't do enough to look after us, whether it was arranging some snacks and drinks by the pool or organising trips from the villa or a full set dinner. The location of the villa is fantastic and on the beach, although about an hour from Seminyak with traffic, but more than doable and easy to arrange. The beach is not great for swimming but was perfect for the kids to play in the sand and waves and also for long walks and to watch the b beautiful sunsets. The Villa set up, bedrooms, bathrooms, pool, etc were brilliant and had a really lovely and homely feel to them. We would definitely recommend this villa for others and will look to stay there again in the future if possible.

An enchanting private villa escape within half an hour of the hustle and bustle of Seminyak - Villa Sungai Tinggi is set in a beautiful oasis on Pererenan beach, one beach up from the famous Echo Beach. The villa is set back far enough to give a sense of complete privacy in tranquil surroundings, while still maintaining spectacular views out to the ocean and beyond. The design is old-school Bali, with every room facing the ocean with large glass doors to ensure the view remains uninterrupted. The two master bedrooms have adjoining studies, which can also be used to accommodate cots for young children. The fabulous daybed overlooks the pool and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset sink into the water. The staff are friendly and accommodating, if a little slow at times. The food can be a little inconsistent depending on who's on duty, but we had some wonderful lunches there with close friends. Their dedicated driver, Nengah, is very good, and will get you places as quickly as possible, but in complete safety. Highly recommend.

Properties like Sungai Tinggi Beach Villa are few and far between. This enchanting, traditionally inspired family home is a travel destination in itself, set within a vast estate that boasts over 100 metres of absolute beach frontage looking onto one of south-west Bali's renowned surf breaks.
Sungai Tinggi Beach Villa (sungai tinggi means 'high river') was designed by long-term Bali residents as a spacious and comfortable family home. Created in the style of a traditional Balinese compound, the villa comprises a series of living and sleeping pavilions oriented for optimum privacy as well as for the glorious ocean views. The four-bedroomed main house (with a lounge that can be converted into a fifth bedroom) can be rented independently from the private two-bedroom Joglo that's located to the side of the main building. The liberal use of local materials – exotic hardwood and terrazzo floors, coral-limestone walls and vaulted alang-alang thatched roofs – is testimony to the owners' passion for Bali, as is their stunning collection of museum-quality art and artefacts that contribute to the villa's unique character and charm.
This appreciation for the local environment extends to the villa's magnificent tropical gardens, which make a dream setting for a tropical wedding celebration. Soft rolling lawns dotted with fragrant frangipanis and swaying coconut palms hug the landscape's natural contours, while an 18-metre infinity swimming pool blends seamlessly with the ocean panorama. A circular deck provides ringside seats for viewing Bali's spectacular sunsets, and a traditional thatched balé decorated in black and white check makes an inviting respite from the sun. Work on your serve at the tennis court (shared with a neighbouring villa), arrange for a soothing massage in your room, or gather for cocktails in the impressive living pavilion. With such a choice of social and private space, Sungai Tinggi Beach Villa is perfect for families or groups of friends.
A friendly staff team pride themselves in taking good care of their guests. From cooking delicious Balinese meals to preparing your canopied bed at night and running your rose-petal bath, they will ensure your stay is truly memorable in every detail. And should you wish to explore beyond the villa, a car and driver maybe arranged for sightseeing, shopping and adventure at a small extra fee.

Brett Favre's post-playing career as a high school offensive coordinator found the spotlight of national cable television last night, as his undefeated Oak Grove team took on Petal in a bout of Mississippi heavyweights. It didn't go so well for our favorite text messager, as Favre's squad struggled throughout the second half and failed to even roll up 100 yards of offense.
The previously 5-0 Oak Grove squad, though, would carry a lead nearly to the final gun and had Petal looking at a fourth-and-17 from the 20. Then this happened:
That's a way more interesting call than the one as aired on TV and really we're sort of at a loss for words to describe it. Oak Grove attempted a late comeback but it mostly resulted in a lot of this:
Ah, well. We're sure the Ol' Gunslinger will bounce back.

|Sheer Force
Flavor text
Sheer Force (Japanese: ちからずく Sheer Force) is an Ability introduced in Generation V. Twenty-five Pokémon can have this Ability.
In battle
Sheer Force raises the base power of all attacking moves that have an additional effect by 30%, but the additional effects are ignored.
Sheer Force does not negate primary effects such as recoil, stat penalty or status condition for the user, increased critical hit rate, moves that never miss, moves that change power, two-turn moves, etc. Sheer Force will, however, negate all secondary effects, such as reducing the target's stats, increasing the user's stats, or causing a status condition to the target. Moves that have both a primary and secondary effect will have only their secondary effect negated (and gain the power boost). For example, Flare Blitz has both a primary recoil effect and a secondary chance to burn; its damage will be boosted by 30% (but not cause burn) and still inflict recoil to the user after attacking.
If (and only if) a move is boosted by the effect of Sheer Force, it will no longer trigger item or Ability effects that activate after attacking. This includes the effects of Eject Button, Shell Bell, and Red Card, as well as the Ability Color Change. If an item has two effects, only the effect(s) that activate after attacking will be negated. Therefore, if a Pokémon holds a Life Orb, it will gain the passive damage boost (because it is not activated after the attack) but the recoil effect afterward will be ignored.
Affected moves
The Ability affects the following moves:

Tweet Bag! Tweeted questions, blogged answered
Now, onto your questions...EN GARDE!
@jonahkeri (yes, the actual guy, author of the forthcoming The Extra 2%, or at least someone with access to his Twitter account) poses the question: "Dave Stieb, best pitcher of the 80s? Discuss."
Timeframes are arbitrary things, even when they span ten full years. Some great pitchers (Tom Seaver, for instance) had their best decade of work in timespans that crossed over decades. Some got started late in the 80's (Orel Hersheiser), and some petered out by the end of the decade (Steve Carlton).
Nevertheless, if you want to be all arbitrary about things (and why wouldn't you, really?), you can start by looking at Stieb's WAR for the seasons 1980 through 1989. And you'll find that is a big, bright shiny 45.2. (45.2!!!1)
You know who put up a better WAR amongst pitchers in that timeframe? As Mel Lastman would say: Noooooooooooobody! Not "the most feared/winningest/opening day startingest pitcher of the 1980's, Jack Morris (27.9). Not Bert Blyleven (34.0, which is still an impressive number for a guy who most of his best seasons in the 70's and ABSOLUTELY belongs in the Hall of Fame). Not late starters Orel Hersheiser (32.8 for 1983-89) or Roger Clemens (32.3 for 84-89).
Hall of Famer Steve Carlton limped into his final years with a 25.6 WAR. Goose Gossage, the last pitcher inducted into the Hall, put up an 18.7 WAR for the decade, while fellow enshrinee Bruce Sutter managed a 10.8 in the 80's (which doesn't include his best season in 1979, if you want to abandon arbitrariness at this point). HoFer Dennis Eckersley, who split that decade between the starting role and the pen coughed up 23.9 WAR.
The last pitcher to be inducted into the Hall of Fame for their work as a starting pitcher in the Major Leagues? Nolan Ryan, who expressed a 30.8 WAR over the neon decade.
Our point? Using the best stat that we can think of to compare pitchers' performances for the decade, we find it hard to find anyone who touches our patron saint's incredible output. And if that's not clear enough: Dave Stieb is the Greatest Pitcher of the Eighties. (GPOTE!!!1)
Second point: For all of the High Moral Dudgeon (Bruntism!) that we hear about the steroid era, we also would note that the BBWAA seemingly has some hang up against starting pitchers, given their overwhelming aversion to voting them into the Hall of Fame. Stieb barely got any notice, while Blyleven has twisted in the wind for longer than we can remember, and Jack Morris (a flawed candidate, to be sure) remains unlikely to get to Cooperstown.
We'd suggest that the catchphrase should have been: Hacks Dig The Long Ball.
Next question!
@dpriest asks: Do you think the Jays could land Joe Maddon and Carl Crawford in the off-season?
Yes. But no. But then again, I might start a torrid affair with Zooey Deschanel by next year, even if we could never eat together given her vegan tendencies and aversion to gluten. Which is to say: Let's not put too much energy into such things, mmmkay?
@GValentino enquires (or is that inquires? What does CP Style say?) How would you feel about Bautista being moved to cleanup, Wells moved down? Why do you think this hasn't happened, other than THE MANAGER s.o.p?
We would absolutely advocate moving Bautista to the cleanup spot, but really only if there was an absolutely obvious three-hole hitter. But we're not sure that they have that now. (And our concept of that is a high-contact line-drive hitter with power, like Aaron Hill in 2009.)
If you were being totally orthodox about roles, the Jays have a whole bunch of number hitters on this team that they have to squeeze into other parts of the batting order, so we're not going to give The Manager more guff than he deserves over this particular choice.
More Manager questions have gotta be in this bag somewhere, right?
@timmyd_ asks: Is keeping Butterfield in the org worth giving him a shot as manager?
Interesting question, because we were asking ourselves something similar recently. If Butterfield is only going to stay with the team in a managerial role, do you hold onto him, even if he likely won't spend the same amount of time with the on-field instruction that seems to be his strength? Or do you let him go, losing all of that knowledge and insight, as well as a guy who seemingly gets along with many of the players.
It's a tough call, though we'd still prefer to keep him with the team if at all possible. We're thinking that a demonstrated excellence as an on-field instructor may be the sort of skill set that could be passed along to the next generation of Blue Jays coaches, making him an excellent choice to help build the future of the franchise.
All this talk about managers...my Manager sense is tingling...
@FakeCitoGaston pounces! Dear Stieb: Any advice on how I should run the front office without upseting this kid Alex too much? Beest says I have full veto (First off, for those of you shocked to see that name in the blog, let us make clear that it was cut and pasted into this post. We did not type that name out, nor will we ever. That is our promise, and that is our pledge.)
Our advice to The Fake Manager is this: Be so subtle as to be indiscernible. Maybe even let AA do all of the stuff that he wants, and toss him a few bones so that he gets really comfortable making all the decisions himself. Then go out for some drinks with the Beest, play a few rounds of golf and let the little details take care of themselves. And when someone comes around asking for input on bobbleheads, you can look after that sort of thing without raising much of a fuss.
Take it easy...this front office gig is supposed to be a snap. Just don't put too much energy into. You've earned your golden parachute.
We're running short on time (left in your attention span...heyo!), so let's wrap it up with this:
@the_real_THF asks: I had a dream last night that the Jays finished the season with 88 wins. Feasible? The Jays would have to rattle off a 17-8 run to the end of the season, which is certainly not impossible. Feasible? Well, considering that Brandon Morrow won't throw another pitch in anger, and that Marcum and Cecil might be watched in the next few weeks to make certain that every body is in good working order for when it really counts (i.e. 2011), we're not sure that the 88 win mark is going to work out.
Our guess? The Jays go 13-12 down the stretch and end the season with 84 wins. Though we're perfectly amenable with anything above that.
Sorry we couldn't get to all of your questions (discussions of Constituency Offices vs. Staffers on the Hill vs. Insane Voters vs. Noble Lobbyists will have to wait for another day, @s_findlay), but many thanks to all of you who stepped up to give us something to write about today. Keep those cards and letters coming.

I think the real side-question that needs to be asked is, why does my subconscious think that 88 wins is something I want to dream about?

- stonedog said...
Is it reasonable to suggest that any pitcher (or position player) who could be argued to be the best in a given decade should at least get strong consideration for the HOF? Wait - Keith Law called to yell 'ARBITRARY ENDPOINTS' in my ear. Still, it's not like there have been a lot of decades in baseball history. I guess in the end the problem is that the 80s sucked for pitchers. The game was finishing the transition to a five-man rotation, middle relief suddenly became a career choice, and we were between eras of dominant starters. I mean, Steve Stone? LaMarr Hoyt? John Denny? Really? Who the hell were these guys?
So Stieb may have dominated, but he dominated what might have been one of the least impressive groups of starting pitchers of the century. That being said, given his one-hitter/no-hitter history, his career and peak numbers, and his historically bad luck, he'd get my vote.

Thanks for including my silly question and answering it in the way it deserved to be answered.
Nevertheless, I will continue to dream big when it comes to the Blue Jays. That's how I roll.

An 85 win season has to be considered relatively as a major success.
I think Manny would be great in Toronto. At least it would create some more buzz.

I have a friend who doesn't know anything about baseball, and he decided this was the season that he wanted to start watching the Jays.. he bet me back in February that they'd break .500.. he now thinks I'm crazy for telling him the team wasn't supposed to be good this year.
People need to know about the different varieties of political lunatics, Tao!

If people knew about the various and sundry lunatics in our political system, they'd lose all faith in the process.

By the way, Tao, I just read Zooey Deschanel is married to Ben Gibbard. You may not have been her type, but for once it would be because you are too macho and not introspective enough.
I know! Weird, huh?
And he probably made an assload of money from that one Postal Service song that everyone used for everything. I hear that helps.

Dave Stieb should be in the HOF. In Dave Stieb's HOF speech, Dave Stieb will thank Dave Stieb for his talent which allowed Dave Stieb to be as good as Dave Stieb was (is).

Good read. More of this please...

Nothing but love and a crotch grab for the man who inspired my 1988 self to have a mullet. Great post. Always loved the man never considered him to have dominated to that extent.
- September 8, 2010 at 7:17 PM
Stieb's statistics just don't warrant HOF induction. I love the guy and wanted to be him when I was pitching, but I feel you need 300 wins or 200 and a blown out arm/ plane crash.
What makes the Baseball HOF better than any other HOF, is it means something to get in. Hockey can learn something from baseball on this aspect. When you start to compromise on stats, you compromise the integrity of the HOF.
That said I also believe that in the modern "juiced era" stats can't be everything. I don't want Bonds, McGuire, Clemens, Sosa or Palmiero in. They ruined the natural beauty of the game. Sorry Roger or Bonds, but I hope your spend time in jail before you ever see the inside of the HOF.
- September 10, 2010 at 3:01 PM
- MK Piatkowski said...
If Stieb had some offence behind him for the first half of his career, he would have had 200 wins. That's why a win stat sucks.

Pluto and Eris found to be of equal measure
Downsized dwarf The distant frozen world of Eris, once considered to be the largest of the dwarf planets, may actually be the same size as Pluto.
The new measurement was obtained by a group of astronomers led by Professor Bruno Sicardy from the Paris Observatory, when the dwarf planet passed in front of a distant star - known as an occultation event.
This rare event was used to better estimate the dwarf planet's size and detect any trace of its atmosphere.
Reporting in the journal Nature, Sicardy and colleagues determine that Eris has a radius of about 1163 kilometres, which makes it roughly the same size as Pluto - estimated to be between 1150 and 1200 kilometres in radius - and far smaller than earlier estimates of around 1500 kilometres.
Sicardy and colleagues also determined Eris to have an average surface temperature of -243°C.
A distant world
Eris orbits the Sun three times as far out as Pluto, and up to 97 times as far out as the Earth. Owing to this great distance, measuring its size or detecting an atmosphere is difficult.
The new observations support previous predictions that Eris is basically spherical in shape. Its bright surface may be caused by a collapsed atmosphere, frozen solid by its cold environment.
However Sicardy and colleagues speculate that as Eris gets closer to the Sun in its elongated orbit, this solid coating may periodically sublimate - instantly change from a solid to a gas.
They say the same thing happens on Pluto, but Eris' atmosphere would be about 10,000 times thinner than Pluto's.
Eris' discovery in 2005, together with that of other similar-sized bodies played a part in Pluto's controversial demotion from its status as a planet to the new category of a dwarf planet in 2006.
Originally called "Xena", it was eventually formally named Eris after the goddess of strife and discord in Greek mythology.
Clever science
Planetary scientist Dr Brad Carter from the University of Southern Queensland, says by measuring the temporary dip in brightness of the star that Eris moved in front of it, Sicardy and colleagues were able to make some interesting measurements.
"Because it's so far away it's virtually impossible to measure the size and shape of Eris directly," says Carter.
"But if you carefully time the duration of the occultation, how long Eris takes to pass in front of the star, from different parts of the Earth's surface you can build up a rough map or picture of both its size and shape."
"Knowing more about Eris and the other icy bodies out beyond Neptune will help us better understand how the solar system formed," says Carter.

The Bazz Houston Co. has upgraded to ISO 9001:2008 at its manufacturing plants in Garden Grove, CA, and Tijuana, Mexico. The firm manufactures springs, metal stampings and wire forms, and also performs assembly operations and builds tooling. Compared to ISO 9001:2000, the new standard, issued about a year ago, includes some important differences. For starters, according to the website of Praxiom Research Group, it emphasizes the need to ensure that outsourced processes comply with all customer and legal requirements. And, in the area of customer requirements, the new standard holds companies accountable for identifying specific post-delivery requirements such as warranty provisions, contractual obligations such as maintenance, and supplementary services such as recycling and final disposal.

GOIBER (n.) An acronym, which stands for "Greenfield's Observations, Inventions, Brainstorms & Experiments Room." Also known as my basement.
It's been said that everyone has at least one great idea. Not to brag, but I've had two so far (the endless bag of money and flying cars). When it comes to ideas related to the Packers and football, I can't think of a better group to poll than the greatest fans in the world.
A few weeks ago, I requested that our readers volunteer their great Packer inventions to share. I was pleasantly surprised there are so many creative Packer fans out there. I'm happy to say you answered the call. Here is a list of the top Packer inventions as submitted by fans of the Ranter – all equal value in originality and awesomeness.
Ice Cup Holders – Graham, Wisconsin native, now in the Chicago suburbs
Like some of the best Packer ideas, this one was inspired right at Lambeau at the below-freezing 2007 NFC Championship game. Here's how Ice Cup Holders came about in Graham's own words:
As I was sitting (standing) sipping my beer and yelling loudly, my beer seemed to get colder. It occurred to me that this is not normally the progression of events when drinking a beer… Then it occurred to me. Sure I'm in Green Bay, the best place in the world, but how could I bring a little Green Bay to others.
Just think of the pleasure to millions of fans whose beer gets colder DURING the game. Then you can go get two beers, put one in your beer cooling cup holder and drink one while your other is getting COLDER.
Now if that doesn't put you in the mood for a cold one, I'm not sure what will. I'm seriously considering pursuing a prototype for Ice Cup Holders in my GOIBER. Thanks Graham!
Green Bay Packer Crackers – John in Wauwatosa
"Green Bay Packer Crackers" is the only thing that John wrote, and why not? It doesn't need a whole lot of explanation.
Seriously, this invention is absolutely brilliant in its simplicity. In all honesty, I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen this anywhere yet. You could be onto something, John. And crackers go with cheese so well!
Aaron Kampman "The Camping Man" Action Figure – Corey in Madison
This idea apparently came from my AJ Hawkman post last month and a lifelong affinity for camping. Corey in Madison noted that Aaron Kampman is from the Midwest, looks like an outdoorsy fellow and is also a very charitable person. This makes him not only a good role model, but also a potential toy.
I always brought my GI Joe's camping when I was little but my son just isn't into them. He's such a huge Packers fan that I think an Aaron Kampman action figure would really make him happy when we go up North.
And what little boy wouldn't be happy with a toy molded in the form of a future Packer HOFer? What would make this invention even sweeter would be like a series of outdoor outfits you could dress AK in (the Hunter, the Camper, the Hunter/Gatherer, etc.). But maybe dress-up gets a little too Barbie, eh? Thanks, Corey!
40-oz Koozies – John in Wauwatosa
They make 'em for 12-oz bottles and cans, why not a 40-ozer? This is the second zinger from Wauwatosa John and another gem. Just imagine the envy of your friends as you carry around your O.E. in a mega Packer koozie. Well done, John, well done indeed. Let's party sometime, btw.
Leg-Mounted Brat Holders – Franklin Hillside of the Original Packer Ranter
This isn't your ordinary Leg-Mounted Brat Holder; this one is mounted right inside your pants! …You know, to help your legs stay warm during cold games.
As each holder would potentially hold four brats, if you double your Leg-Mounts, you've doubled your brats (eight!!). Not only will you be saving money from not having to buy your meat at the game, but you can also make new friends as you pass them out to your Lambeau neighbors. (Optional kraut dispenser clips to the inside of your jacket.)
I'll merely echo Franklin's words when I say, "Yes!!!!" to the Leg-Mounted Brat Holders.

After fooling around with the demo, I can say one of the bright spots of NBA Elite 11 is its commentary and presentation. The total integration with ESPN's graphics, wipes and music helps sell the authenticity of the call.
This video says EA Sports Vancouver - also responsible for the ESPN integration of NCAA Basketball 10 - recorded more than 60 hours of dialogue with announcers Mike Breen, Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy, the well-regarded real-life A-team for ESPN's NBA broadcasts. I'm not sure I buy the claim that it was entirely ad-libbed - there had to be some direction and scripting. But yes, it's a very natural call that sounds like one you'd expect for a live broadcast.

GE's cameras are all about value, delivering some very good specs at an affordable price. That's certainly what you get with the E1410SW, a 10x zoom ultracompact camera that's loaded up with a 14-megapixel CMOS sensor and some nice shooting features at a price under $160.
Specs and shooting features don't necessarily translate into good photos and movies and fast shooting performance, though. What you get with the E1410SW is a bit of a mixed bag; its pictures and videos are on par with other lower-end point-and-shoots, but it is a bit speedier in some areas, such as burst shooting, which you typically won't find at its price.
Photo quality
Like most budget-oriented compacts, the GE E1410SW has its limitations. It's best used outdoors with good lighting and ISO sensitivities below ISO 400. Fine detail is never very good -- especially when photos are viewed at larger sizes -- but once you get to ISO 400 and above, subjects just look soft and lack detail. That means that shots taken indoors, even with flash, won't be good for much beyond Web use at small sizes. However, for a lot of people, that's all that's needed.
Under ideal conditions, you'll be able to get shots good enough for 4x6 prints and the occasional 8x10 as long as you don't do much enlarging and cropping. I would not consider this camera if you're going to be doing a lot of low-light shooting.
Also, the camera's auto modes are aggressive about raising the ISO when you have the flash off. When possible, switch to the camera's Manual mode and set the ISO to 100 outside in good light and to ISO 200 or 400 indoors for better results.
Color performance is good. Subjects look bright and natural when shooting outdoors in good light. Results indoors are a little mixed depending on your lighting, which is typical of lower-end (and even some more expensive) compacts. What was irksome was that nothing looked particularly good on the camera's LCD, which made most everything look overly cool.
Video quality is pretty good, too, but it suffers from the same issues as the camera's photos. In good lighting you'll get nice-looking movie clips suitable for Web sharing; low-light video isn't as nice, though. The zoom lens does move while recording and there is continuous autofocus. However, while the lens is moving, the mic is dampened so you hear less of the movement. Audio quality in general is merely passable.
Shooting performance
The E1410SW is not a terribly fast camera, but it's not as slow as some competing models. Its speedy CMOS sensor gives it some better shooting speeds -- particularly burst shooting -- than similar models with CCD sensors, but it's still not a camera I would readily recommend for capturing sports, wildlife, or active kids and pets.
Part of the problem is its time to first shot; every time you turn on the camera the flash defaults to Auto, which means you're waiting about 4 seconds to take that first shot. The same thing happens when you change to different shooting modes, too. For instance, if you're in Auto and turn the flash off and then change to Manual, the flash kicks back on. However, even with the flash off, the camera takes a few seconds between shots and can be slow to focus and shoot with the lens extended.
If you need to shoot faster than that, there is a continuous-shooting option that can capture at up to 10 frames per second at full resolution. This is your best bet when shooting fast-moving subjects; however, the focus and exposure are set with the first shot so there's a chance only your first shot will be in focus. Shutter lag -- the time from pressing the shutter release to capture without prefocusing -- is usually long on lower-end cameras, but that's not the case here: the E1410SW does well with a lag of 0.3 second in good lighting and 0.5 second in dimmer conditions.
Features and design
Again, GE offers a lot of features at a reasonably low price. You get the 10x zoom, a large 3-inch LCD, full HD movie capture at 30fps with a one-touch record button on top, and Micro-USB and Micro-HDMI ports.
