Tellus Science Museum on Saturday offered a sneak peek for a group of 15 winners from social media and museum members of its newest exhibit, "Space Spinoffs," which focuses on the technology impacted by NASA.
Curator Julian Gray said the idea for the exhibit — created in-house by the museum — stemmed from the end of NASA's shuttle program.
"We thought, 'You know, our space program has done so much for our society, for technology,'" he said. "There are a lot of things that we have benefited from, and everybody here at the museum thought that would be a great idea for an exhibit.
"I think that a lot people think, 'We pour a lot of money into the space program and what good is it? It's just a bunch of nerds flying around in space, doing experiments for who knows what.' But there are a number of things we get out of the space program, so we wanted to call attention to that as well."
The roughly 900-square-foot exhibit, located inside the Science in Motion gallery, offers a look at the space technology that has been incorporated into everyday items as well as addressing some of the more common myths associated with NASA technology.
"We divided a lot of the information into different things in our lives, like transportation and environmental subjects and communications, computer technology and public safety and things like that and also myths," Gray said. "People have misconceptions that they might have come out of the space program and they really didn't, things like Tang."
Listed among the most prominent of "Space Spinoffs" are the artificial heart pump, GPS technology and even memory foam. Along with Tang, Gray said teflon and velcro, while used by NASA, did not stem from the space program.
Running through April 7, the museum began work on the exhibit in July with the project taking about three months to come to fruition. "Space Spinoffs" opens to the general public today.
The Akery family was among the 15 winners from the social media promotion.
Amanda Akery said the family was motivated by her 10-year-old daughter's love of space.
"She really likes space activities," Akery said of her daughter, Ryleigh. "She wants a telescope and that kind of stuff so we came to see the exhibit."
"Space Spinoffs" is not the only space-themed exhibit planned for the coming year. Gray said the museum will open a new exhibit in the second quarter of 2013 focusing on NASA's moon missions and featuring a moon rock currently housed in Houston.
Tellus, 100 Tellus Drive in Cartersville, is open each day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 770-606-5700 or visit www.tellusmuseum.org.

Security Practices
Joshua Ebarvia has a point about security practices in the June 2009 Letters section, and I'm disappointed with the response. I think LM could do more to decrease the confusion among non-experts in this matter. Please consider the following questions:
"There has not yet been a single widespread Linux malware threat of the type that Windows software currently faces." (Wikipedia). Then, why do I see almost daily a warning to upload security patches?
Security precaution depends on the kind of computer work. To be specific, is it wise to shut down Internet connection when working as root? Or working with WINE? What is needed to be sure that financial transactions are secure, in particular when using wireless connection?
Looking at the flickering LEDs of my Internet adapter (modem) I get the impression that I'm out of control of data traffic. Most Window users long ago gave up to be in control of their PC, but Linux should not have to be so passive. Why can I not start a program that tells me what kind of data go in and out and enables me to stop unwanted traffic? Of course this interrupts computer work and should be used only to take test samples.
Robert Best
We take security seriously, and we try to cover it often. Recent issues of our magazine have discussed topics such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, and one-time passwords. Our February 2009 issue included an article on some best practices for wireless connections. Although we offer lots of useful information for beginners, a magazine by nature is not structured like a HowTo document or an online Help page. If you are new to Linux, you might occasionally need to do some background reading to understand the underlying concepts. The INFO box included with many of our articles can help find resources.
Although Linux is well protected against viruses, worms, and other forms of the file and email threats known as malware, Linux systems are still vulnerable to network attack. The problems addressed in security updates typically relate to vulnerabilities in legitimate software, as opposed to malware programs, which are designed with the specific intent of breaking in or doing damage.
Several tools exist for controlling and monitoring network traffic, and those are exactly the kinds of tools we like to talk about. They do, however, tend to be advanced applications for experienced users. For instance, last month we had articles on the Portsmith authenticating firewall and the OSSEC intrusion detection tool.
The first issue of our new sister publication, Ubuntu User, is on newsstands now and includes an extensive Discovery Guide section for beginning users. Although the discussion focuses on Ubuntu, many of the topics discussed in the Discovery Guide are also applicable to other Linux systems.
Linux for Business
I'm starting up a business in maintenance services for industries and commercial buildings and I want to use state-of-the-art information technology based on Linux. But I have some questions that will help me decide whether I go for Linux or the other thing.
First, I depend on a few programs like SAP financial, an asset monitoring system named Datastream, and my maintenance technicians must use mini laptops in the field to make reports that are sent to base. All these applications are Windows based. Are there substitutes, or can I work with these applications in a Linux environment?

Birthday coming up shortly and was hoping to get a Canon EF-S 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens to go with my EOS 350D/55-250 11IS, was looking at secondhand but she is giving me £500 instead, I can push this to maybe anoth £70.
So what do I do.
buy a secondhand 500D and a secondhand 18-135mm,
buy a new 600D body and secondhand EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM Lens
buy new 650D with the newer EF-S 18-55mm 11 IS this option does mean maybe a bit more swapping around of lenses outdoors.
Keeping the 350D and its stock lens as backup and for her indoors to use when on holiday.
Or trade in the 350D and go even better.
90% of my photography is portrait (pics of fish captured) landscapes and wildlife.
Your views and reccomendations please.
Many thanks.

BMC Racing Team's Yannick Eijssen finished 38 seconds off the winning time in Wednesday's prologue of the Ster ZLM Toer prologue, while Alessandro Ballan was one second slower than his teammate in his first time trial of the season.
'Ballan Looked Pretty Good'
In rainy conditions, Robert Wagner (Blanco Pro Cycling) took the win by two seconds ahead of his own teammate, Lars Boom, on the 8.0-kilometer course. Ballan said he took a cautious approach in the slick conditions on his BMC timemachine TM01. "I didn't take risks in the corners," he said. "I had good sensations and my goal is to finish the race. We'll see how it goes day-by-day." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said the former world road champion, who missed nearly six months of the season after a serious crash during training in December, is progressing well in his return. "Ballan looked pretty good," he said. "It was nice to see him back racing. He actually did a decent ride. I'm happy." Thursday's 175.7-km race is on a looping course that starts and finishes in Breda, The Netherlands.

Big Questions for Wind
What are the impacts on humanity?
Modern society depends heavily on a variety of technologies that are susceptible to the extremes of space weather — severe disturbances of the upper atmosphere and of the near-Earth space environment that are driven by the magnetic activity of the Sun. Strong electrical currents driven in the Earth's surface during auroral events can disrupt and damage modern electric power grids and may contribute to the corrosion of oil and gas pipelines.
How do the Earth and Heliosphere respond?
Our planet is immersed in this seemingly invisible yet exotic and inherently dangerous environment. Above the protective cocoon of Earth's lower atmosphere is a plasma soup composed of electrified and magnetized matter entwined with penetrating radiation and energetic particles.

In fact, if you want to understand America today -- specifically, why it is in decline -- just look at the Cuban-American vote.
As reported in the Wall Street Journal, "The president captured 48 percent of the Cuban-American vote in Florida -- a record high for a Democrat."
Democratic presidential nominees went from 25 percent of the Cuban-American vote in 2000, to 29 percent in 2004, to 35 percent in 2008 to 48 percent on 2012.

Marco Pinotti's cautious approach on rain-slick roads didn't stop him from finishing fourth in Saturday's individual time trial that capped Pais Vasco for the BMC Racing Team.
Stayed Safe
The five-time Italian national time trial champion said steady rain that fell during his 18.9-kilometer race against the clock killed some of the confidence he had while checking out the course in dry conditions. But as he piloted his BMC timemachine TM01 through the finish line, he clocked the fastest time to that point. "I tried to go as fast as possible on the straight parts and the uphills," Pinotti said. "When it's wet, you want to stay safe while going as fast as possible. It turned out I had good power in the climb and the on flat section so I'm happy with my performance." Pinotti's time was only 15 seconds slower than stage winner Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), who also won the race overall. Pinotti also took home the intermediate sprints classification, earned for winning two of three sprints while riding in a breakaway Friday.

"The main purpose for the public meetings is to share with our stakeholders our business planning process, the steps that we're creating in these challenging, financial times on how to be more sustainable and how to provide a more responsible future for the next generation in relation to how state parks operate and how we engage the community," said Daniel Hill, park manager for Red Top, which oversees the Etowah Indian Mounds. "There will be a portion for a question-and-answer session as well as for public input and that's one of the primary things that we're looking for in this because we want to share about where we are starting with our business planning process and then how we can engage the community, how the community can help participate and be able to help support their local parks.
".... We're inviting anyone and everyone that has an interest in Red Top to be able to come out because we have a lot of great information. [And] the general public really might not realize a lot of the nuts and bolts that's associated with managing a state park. This is a great opportunity for them to come and learn a little bit about how we're doing business and how we're getting set up so that we can survive and eventually be able to thrive in a variety of different economic climates."
Along with attending the meetings, people can view the sites' individual business plans online at www.gastateparks.org/businessplans.
"Our business planning process is called Direction 2015 and the goal for D15 is that by 2015 that the state park system as a whole throughout Georgia will be 75 percent self-sufficient," Hill said. "One of the benefits to this is we have defined parameters over our entire operations, the cost of doing business, what our roles are for resource protection — cultural resources, historic resources — and then recreational opportunities for the public while still providing public programming and such.
"And what the D15 does is it is a tool that not only gives us all the current vital information that we need on our system but it also provides the start or the foundation for a roadmap into the future because [these] are individual site specific business plans that we've spent a considerable amount of time in analyzing every different aspect of our operation, from a variety of angles."
Echoing Hill's comments, Ellen Archer, executive director for Cartersville-Bartow County Convention & Visitors Bureau, urges the public to attend the upcoming meetings.
"These are invaluable historic and natural assets in our community, which other than that little percentage of state tax dollars that go into it, that cost the local community nothing," Archer said. "... Of course, Etowah is of such extreme historic significance. I've got postcards dating to the '20s that have Etowah Mounds in them. It just is literally an internationally recognized archaeological site and people forget that. ... Red Top Mountain remains one of the most visited state parks in the state of Georgia.
"... Once again it's under the guardianship of a very competent state organization but it's still on our home turf and I think that the Department of Natural Resources — that very competent state run agency — needs to know that we in Bartow County do care about [these sites'] fates and the programming and the well-being of these amazing resources that are in our county. I really feel strongly about that. Just because it's on our home turf, I think the residents of Bartow County have an obligation to exercise stewardship over those and we are also Georgians and as citizens of the state, those are very important resources and I think we should not take them for granted."
Both starting at 7 p.m., Red Top's meeting will convene in the Lakeside Conference Room at the Park Office — 50 Lodge Road S.E. in Cartersville — and Etowah Indian Mounds' offering will be held in its museum, 813 Indian Mounds Road S.W. in Cartersville.

JOBS & UNEMPLOYMENT: The number one priority for the president and Congress must be jobs, public and/or private, getting this economy back on track, growing it in a balanced fashion, which will create stronger consumer demand. While 8.2 million jobs have been created under his administration, unemployment in the U.S. remains at unacceptable levels, especially in African-Americans and other minority communities. The president must continue to urge Congress to pass an extension of unemployment insurance for 1.5 million Americans — a number that is growing daily — and food stamps for those in need through no fault of their own.
ECONOMIC INEQUALITY: President Obama spoke directly of the need for jobs and the need to close the income inequality gap.
In the U.S., the wealthiest 1 percent grabbed 95 percent of the post-2009 economic growth and the bottom percent became poorer.
According to a recent Oxfam study, the world's 85 richest individuals have more wealth than half of the world's population, i.e., 3.5 billion people.
And according to the Campaign for America's Future, without a new economic revolution 7 out of 10 Americans born into poverty are likely to remain there.
INCOME: Bolstered by a burgeoning nationwide grass-roots movement of low income workers, President Obama announced an executive order requiring government contractors to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 — potentially covering 2 million workers, including janitors at the National Zoo, cafeteria workers at the Smithsonian and the men and women who sew uniforms for the military. The president must match his words with action by making sure in his order that these workers and other direct workers for the federal government are immediately paid at the higher rate.
The president announced that he'll pressure Congress to pass the Harkin-Miller bill which would increase the federal minimum wage nationally for all low wage workers to $10.10 and index it to inflation thereafter.
IMMIGRATION: President Obama expressed his vision of America, imploring Congress to take up immigration reform previously passed by the Senate. It should be done comprehensively, but if the same result can be achieved incrementally that's progress. Immigration advocates remain frustrated at the high level of deportations taking place under this administration that continues to divide parents from their children.
Immigrants who contribute so much to our economy and the moral fabric our nation deserve a pathway to citizenship.
VOTING RIGHTS: Republicans have launched an all-out attack on democracy and voting in state after state. That can only happen because of our states' rights and local control voting system in 13,000 separate and unequal local election jurisdictions. The fundamental right to vote is not explicitly in the U.S. Constitution and President Obama should launch a crusade to put the right to vote in our Constitution. He promised to "fix" our broken system, but common sense "reforms" will not fix it. Only adding a constitutional right to vote like H.J. Res. 44 can do that.
GUN VIOLENCE: While gun violence continues to kill Americans and bring tragedy to families and communities, the president failed to even mention common sense gun laws. Congress should pass reasonable gun legislation in order to reduce violent killings in America, reiterating his prior theme that the families of gun violence deserve a vote — up or down — from Congress.
BIG VISION AND BOLD ACTION: Challenges for the president and Congress remain. The Holy Bible tells us that without vision the people perish. In my judgment, what was missing in the State of the Union speech was a big vision and proposed bold action — a big vision and bold action of infrastructure investment to provide a foundation for private economic development; a big vision and a bold action plan for preserving our planet from negative climate change; a big vision and a bold plan to dramatically reform education for all of our children; and a big vision and a bold plan to provide safe, sanitary and affordable housing for all Americans.
CONCLUSION: The president's State of the Union address reflected a positive attitude that tells us he still has faith in the American people; that he is willing to work in a bipartisan manner with all of the American people's political representatives; and that he still believes that our democratic institutions can be responsive to the needs of the American people. It's time to engage the disengaged; empower those disenfranchised; turn cynicism into hope and pain into power. That's not a bad outcome for a State of the Union address.

text: Riding The Tiger "I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. Truman Posted November 1, 2012 By Tony Lucadamo The Consultant President Mitt Romney speaking at the Values Voter Summit (Omni Shoreham Hotel) in Washington D.C. on October 7, 2011. Photo by Gage Skidmore. CC-SA. Tony Lucadamo, Senior Editor at the Virginia Policy Review, contributes today's guest post, which explores whether Mitt Romney represents a new generation of consultancy leaders. If you have not already, I encourage you to watch a recent PBS Frontline special on the Presidents entitled, "The Choice 2012." The show's season premiere takes an in-depth look at the backgrounds of both Presidential nominees. The most interesting point was this. Nicholas Lemann of the New Yorker remarked: It's a little bit like a consulting engagement. You go in. You figure out what the problems are. You fix things. You make things more organized. Then you go on to the next challenge. Romney's senior advisors essentially concur in later statements. Their narrative runs like a private equity assignment. He presented a product – the socially liberal, fiscally conservative Governor -- which he thought would meet demand. He then did what he could given a Democratic-controlled State legislature. In particular, he picked the issue of healthcare and made it the main issue of his four years in office. Yet, in many ways, this alternate method is nothing new. Certainly, populism has been around for a long time. Governor Romney's Profile is perhaps an evolution of the executive-centered, efficiency-minded values that took root in the Progressive Era combined with a populism gleaned through the lens of modern business. The service sector constitutes an increasing proportion of U.S. GDP with each passing year. In that case, it should come as no surprise that this new generation of leaders is upon us. Men and women who have built their careers in private equity and consulting may increasingly seek to transfer their skills into politics. There is equal fodder for both pessimists and optimists in that case. Continue reading this post at the Virginia Policy Review. Read more → Presidents and the Presidency Tweet

Juveniles in the Library
The Carbondale Public Library staff cannot make a judgment as to what is suitable reading, viewing or listening material for any individual, particularly for a child. The library staff can provide professional assistance, book reviews, and lists to help parents match their stated needs with suitable materials. However, censorship of a child's selection and use of available library materials and resources rests solely with the parent/guardian.
Parents/guardians are responsible for the behavior of their children while they are in the library. The Carbondale Public Library staff is committed to help children with activities related to the library. However, library staff cannot, nor is it their responsibility to keep a child safe from harm or to serve as care givers, teachers or disciplinarians. The staff must assume that all library users are able to take care of themselves or are under the supervision of a responsible individual, such as a parent, guardian, or care giver. Children who cannot work independently must not be left unattended in the library. Parents/guardians who neglect to supervise their children will be asked to do so. If they fail to correct the situation a library staff member will speak directly to the child about the disruptive behavior. Whenever advisable or possible, the library will notify the parent/guardian of incidents involving an unattended child.
Children under the age of ten must be accompanied and directly supervised at all times by a parent/guardian or other responsible care giver. When the safety of an unattended child is in doubt, or the parent/guardian or responsible care giver cannot be located, or if the library is closing, library staff is authorized to call the police and will stay with the child until the police arrive.
Carbondale Public Library may schedule programs which are designed and suitable for attendance by children without parental/guardian supervision. Program announcements will indicate when supervision is required.
Children, ages ten and older, may use the library unattended by an adult, subject to other library rules and policies concerning behavior, conduct and demeanor.
Violations of this policy are grounds for being barred from the library.
The library staff cannot assume responsibility for minors who remain at the library beyond closing time. In the event a minor is still at the library 15 minutes after the library closes to the public, the library staff members are authorized to call the police to pick up the young person. Before calling the police, attempts will be made during that 15 minutes to reach parents/guardians, but in no instance will library staff provide transportation for minors.

World road champion Philippe Gilbert made a late bid for the stage victory Wednesday at the Vuelta a España, but the BMC Racing Team rider did not enjoy more than a few seconds of freedom before the peloton chased him down.
No More Pain
Gilbert attacked about 1.2 kilometers from the finish of the 174.3-kilometer race that saw the last two riders from a five-man breakaway survive to the final three kilometers. Gilbert said the deep cut on his left knee, suffered in a crash at the Eneco Tour of Benelux, is doing much better. "Now it's finally a good day, I had a good feeling and no pain in the knee so that's good news," he said. "I was struggling in the end, in the last kilometers, to go. But I missed it." Michael Matthews (Orica-GreenEdge) won the stage ahead in a bunch sprint while Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team) kept the overall lead. Gilbert (17th place) joined teammates Klaas Lodewyck (19th) and Ivan Santaromita (20th) as three BMC Racing Team riders finished in the top 20. "I think it was a good stage for the team," Assistant Director Yvon Ledanois said. "I am happy for Phil. Today was better. He had good sensations. And Santaromita was in the first top 20, always riding at the front of the race, with three, four or five guys with him." Santaromita, the Italian road champion, is the BMC Racing Team's best rider overall in 12th, 46 seconds off the lead.

Business roundup: Food Lion official to chair retail group, Rowan Monuments opens on Statesville Boulevard
RALEIGH — Salisbury resident Teross Young, vice president of government relations for Food Lion, was recently elected chairman of the board of directors of the North Carolina Retail Merchants Association.
He has served on the nonprofit trade association's board for more than 10 years. The formal announcement was made during the association's annual meeting earlier this month at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro.
The North Carolina Retail Merchants Association is a nonprofit trade association that was organized in 1902 to improve the business climate for retail merchants. More than 25,000 stores are part of the organization, with about 60 percent of members coming from independent stores.Rowan Monuments now open
SALISBURY — James Poe has opened Rowan Monuments, a provider of granite, bronze and marble monuments, at 116-A Statesville Blvd.
Poe is a life-long resident of Rowan County and a real estate agent.
"I chose the name of my business very carefully," said Poe. "I want people to know that this is a Rowan County business, that it is locally owned and operated."
He opened Rowan Monuments after spending two years in sales with another monument provider that closed during the economic downturn.
"When families are grieving, they often don't realize that there are ways they could be saving money," Poe said.
He encourages families to get multiple estimates when shopping for a memorial or columbarium. Poe offers veteran discounts.
Rowan Monuments gets most of its granite from Elberton, Ga., the granite capital of the world. According to Poe, his business has a large selection of samples and can custom design monuments using different colors of granite and laser engraving. The company also provides multi-unit columbaria for churches and cemeteries.
Rowan Monuments' website is www.rowanmonuments.com and you can call Poe at 704-905-6651. Office hours are 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday-Friday or by appointment.

Last week a Missouri ethanol refinery, operated by POET, announced it was suspending production because of the inability to find enough corn. Others may have taken the same action, but the reason may not have been as pronounced.
There is no surprise about spot shortages of corn following the drought of 2012, and more will be identified as the marketing year progresses. In fact, the low yields of Central Illinois prevented sufficient supplies to larger ethanol plants, which have purchased trainloads of corn from higher yield areas in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
In the southeastern US livestock producers have found their shortage is better supplied by offshore sources, such as Brazil, than try to obtain odd lots where possible in the US. As a result of the trend, questions are raised about the stress on the corn user as a result of the tightening availability of corn.
USDA's January 11 report on the final production estimates for 2012, along with the December 1 quarterly grain stocks, give an indication of the significance of the shortage. Ending stocks are at record lows, corn imports are projected, and typical users are either going elsewhere for corn or seeking alternatives. That is the assessment of Bob Wisner, Iowa State University ag economist, who says despite the expectation for short supplies, prices have not begun to ration those short supplies yet. And he says that will have to happen between now and the end of August.
Livestock use
One of the largest users, the livestock industry, created some market confusion at the outset of the 2012 harvest when early harvested corn was fed prior to the end of the 2011 marketing year. That caused estimates to be revised and questioned for the 2011 and 2012 crops. Some of that was offset by reductions in projected estimates of exports, says Wisner. USDA has projected a higher than average volume of corn being fed during the first quarter of the year, due to increased livestock numbers, heavier market weights, and substantial marketings.
But at the same time feed alternatives are also in short supply, including corn from the 2012 second crop in Brazil and feed quality wheat from a variety of sources. Those may extend the ability of US corn to meet export demand. But Wisner is not convinced of that. He says the main alternative to the short US 2012 corn crop will be the 2013 second crop corn soon to be planted in Brazil. There is always the logistical challenge of getting it here, or anywhere for that matter.

A form of journalism innovated by the great Hunter S. Thompson based on William Faulkner's belief that "The best kind of fiction is truer than any kind of journalism." It was Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's way of writing neither fiction or nonfiction, but a weird category in between the two, to show that "fiction" and "journalism" are only artificial categories and that they are both means to get to the same end. Hunter S. Thompson noted that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was a failed attempt at Gonzo Journalism, for it varied too much from the truth and slipped a great deal into the realm of fiction.
The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved, The Curse of Lono, both by Hunter S. Thompson, are examples of Gonzo Journalism
por Winston Gentle 31 de Dezembro de 2005
A form of journalism invented by Hunter S. Thompson. It involves the reporter reporting the action as he/she is in it. Elements are part experience and part fiction. The best example of Gonzo journalism is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It was a book from 1971 made into a Johnny Depp movie in 1998.
From fisrt glance, I knew immedialtely that this God-forshaken rest stop was no place for a Gonzo journalist.

So i've had my Saber takedown bow for a couple of weeks now and am so far loving it. Today i decided to have a go at tuning the bow to get the arrow flying perfectly so i stripped the plastic fletchings of one of my cheap 30" armex arrows and had a go at bare shafting. I bought these arrows before i knew you had to buy specific arrows for certin bows and poundages.
Anyway, i think the spine is to heavy for my bow so i want to buy the correct arrows for my bow. Has anybody got any suggestions for what arrow to use? My Saber is 40# but i'm not sure what weight i'm pulling in at. Probably around 28". I've had a go at Eastons spine calculator but i was confused about the point weight?
Any help would be great.

Hello all,
I know you get this question popping up on here reasonably often but I am looking for a Bridge Camera that will do the job on a big busy city holiday. So I want something that will take good photos of the scenery around me, the city, sky scrapers etc but that will also do a good job with the hustle and bustle and faster moving images. It will also be used at night quite a bit too etc and inside. I guess basically I need a good all rounder but I know next to nothing about cameras!
In terms of budget I have about £250 and I do like the look of the Nikon p510 although I am wondering, as I may only use the camera like twice a year if it is worth spending that much.....
Can anyone recommend a good bridge camera within my budget that might suit my needs?
Any advice really will be greatly appreciated!
