Over all Review of Nikon Coolpix S1100PJ Point & Shoot Digital Camera Black
Overall Review
Nikon Coolpix S1100PJ does not fail to strike, first importantly, by being the world's second camera with an integrated projector. What are the changes? Firstly, the new model, Nikon's S1100PJ has a 40 percent brighter 12 – lumen internal projector that is with a complete built in stand. Other portions of the camera have been tweaked as a part of the improvement, one is the inclusion of a touch screen interface that allows you the freedom such as with a single touch you take a picture, focus or even record videos, all by touching the specific portion of the screen. The perked up features also include slide show that plays photo with music. The video features allow you to record quality 720p HD videos, and your work can easily be played back. As for the sensor, the camera sports a 14megapixel with a 5x zoom lens and an active Vibration Reduction feature. Also, present is a prompt touch sensitive LCD monitor with 460k dots.
Design and Build Quality
Apart from the striking two-lens frontier of the camera, the entire camera looks like your ordinary compact camera. To the rear, you can see the bright 3-inch touch screen TFT LCD screen, with a resolution of 240k dots, which is quite an improvement. As for the two lenses, the one closer to the edge is the camera's glass, while the optics in the centre is your projector lens. The LED lamp rests on the side of the lens. Other than that, there are buttons like shutter, zoom level etc all mounted on the top. The rear position, with what is left after the screen has covered most of it, are the remaining three buttons, the video recording, scene modes and playback button. In terms of size and weight, the camera does decently well, with dimensions of 100.8mm x 62.7mm x 24.1mm and weight of 180g. It is also available in different colors apart from Black; those are Silver, Green and Purple.
Focus and Face Detection
In Nikon Coolpix S1100PJ, the Touch AF / AE is a simple AF point selection by touch, though it requires from you to release it to take a shot. Once you click on the screen on a relevant area, three focus options pops up; Touch shutter, Subject Tracking and Touch AF/AE. There are plenty of other features; among them, the prominent one is subject tracking. All you do is pick your subject and the camera follows it for you. Under Face priority AF feature, the camera automatically detects up to a great 12 faces, making all the capturing easy.
Lens and Image Stabilization
This camera caters to a shooting lens that is very much like its predecessor that is, a 5x zoom lens of the internally stacked variety, but does extend upon power up or zooming. For the focal length, it is equivalent to 35mm and ranges from 28mm to 140mm. It is a tad slow in reference to its Aperture, with the brightness being f/3.9 at the wide and f/5.8 at full telephoto. Nikon Coolpix S1100PJ however, does lack an iris diaphragm, like most small sensor digicams. In strong light conditions, it works upon a built in neutral density filter to eschew overexposure, this though has little or no effect on the depth of fields, as the physical size of the aperture stays unchanged. The camera uses a 5-way VR image stabilization system under which you have, an optical VR image stabilization, Hybrid VR image stabilization, Motion detection, and High ISO that reaches a good 6400 with Nikon's Best shot selector (BSS).This feature that Nikon has helps to prevent blurring, those resulted from camera shakes. The result is not outstanding, but you will definitely observe sharpness in pictures, especially at shutter speeds that are critically slow for the focal length used. Though, Nikon recommends that the VR be shut up while using a tripod.
Screen and Menus
The Nikon Coolpix S1100PJ user interface depends mostly on the beautiful 3.5-inch touch screen. This screen holds a lot in common when compared to Nikon's S80. The resolution however is much improved, it is a good 460,000 dots and fits perfectly on that 3-inch screen. In terms of practicality, the touch screen system has a good, effective control, both over speed and sensitivity. Although a little troubling, as at times, one keeps ending up at places in a menu they one is not aiming at in the first place, and for others, you have to frequently press on a single button to do what you desire.
The batteries it runs on are dedicated Lithium – ion batteries. The camera records both your videos and images on SD/ SDHC /SDXC cards. Both the cards and the batteries share a common compartment on the bottom portion of the camera. The approximate given for the camera to last on a full charge, is 220 images, this however, is a variable that can vary depending about your usage of the flash and zoom. These batteries are rechargeable.
Video Mode
The Nikon Coolpix S1100pj features an amazing 720p HD video mode. The video features are pretty basic. You can turn touch shooting on or off, switch the macro mode on or off, as per priority and even decide the movie quality. You can chose from 720p HD at 30fps, VGA or QVGA at either 30 or 15fps. You however, are not in the position to manually set the white balance; gain or exposure compensation neither is there a designated AE lock function. The 5x optical zoom is fully operative while filming, an improvement on Nikon Coolpix S1000pj, however the sound is still mono. For compression of the clips, you have to use QuickTime and store in a MOV container.
The camera caters to an impressive 14.1megapixel CCD sensor, the core element that delivers you those beautiful images. This together with EXPEED C2 is the reason you are able to get improved and stunning images. The quality speaks for itself, with finer details and quicker processing speed.

7 November 2010: In the footsteps of the first 'projector' model from Nikon, here we have the new Nikon Coolpix S1100pj. According to the claims made by Nikon, the unit is 40% brighter than what was offered on the predecessor, and thus, allows a projection of a 47-inch picture up to 7feet away.
* Incredible built-in projector; 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor
* 5x wide-angle optical Zoom-Nikkor glass lens
* 3-inch touch-screen display; 5-way VR Image Stabilization system
* HD (720p) movie recording with One-Touch control button
* Capture images and video to SD/SDHC memory card
Nikon added and removed the projector camera S1100pj from its Coolpix line up. The images and videos can now be projected up to 47inches in size. For the purpose of business or for displaying presentations, the camera can be used. It comes with a complete stand that can help for basing it properly. The remote control lets you control the projector from a sufficient distance. The sensor holds the tag of an effective 14.1MP, there is an optical zoom up to 5 times, and the lens can be adjusted with a focal length that ranges from 28mm to 140mm. To increase the shake tolerance, Nikon S1100pj comes fitted with a 5-way VR system. It uses an optical and electronic way that too, with a best shot selector system, motion detection and a max ISO sensitivity of 6400. The entire combo ensures that you get a blur free image under any condition. Exposure modes are restricted to Easy Auto, Smart Portrait, Auto and scene modes, the last class comprises of seventeen different functions that suit almost every condition. There is no manual exposure to the camera as a standard of any kind, and that poses as a problem. There is exposure compensation function that can be adjusted over +/-2EV, and a three inches wide LCD screen that has a resolution of 460,000 dots and touch screen functionality. The HD video recording can also be achieved at a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 format, meaning 720p HD. The camera supports recording of movies and images wherein, the use of SDXC card is a possibility. The camera focusing system is one of the better aspects, for it finds a subject with ease and freezes on them fast, even when the shooting conditions are not that favorable. By pressing the desired area over the touch screen, you can focus on your object; it can be a little tricky to focus on the objects at first. After the capturing has been done, the display of the pictures may take a good amount of seconds, and due to the sensitivity of touch screen, it may be a little jittery to browse through the stills and videos. The metering with the camera is mostly sharp and the camera has the tendency to turn to overexposure in some situations. In favorable conditions, the camera can produce high level of detail especially at the center of frame. After noise reduction, the images look quite heavily brought up with less detail. The images taken at the longer zoom end are soft and lack the definition. These could be the reasons why Nikon Coolpix S1100pj has been discontinued.

Felger & Massarotti are broadcasting Tuesday's show live from Shining Rock Golf Club in Northbridge, the site of the 1st Annual Sports Hub…Who's Your Caddy? Classic, a charity event which benefits the Pediatric Advance Care Team at the Children's Hospital Boston. Despite the fact that they are broadcasting live from a golf course, Felger and Mazz have decided to devote the day to "dorking out" on baseball and previewing the Red Sox upcoming Inter-league series with the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Phillies currently sport the best record in baseball at 49-30, and Mazz opened up the series preview by outlining why he thinks the Phillies are the best team in baseball. While Tony does think that the Red Sox aren't too far behind the Phillies, he highlights how the depth of the Phillies' pitching rotation gives them the edge over the Sox. Will the Sox lineup be able to handle the Phillies' dominant lefty pitching, or will their lefty hitters be outmatched by Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee?
After sluggish showings against the Padres and Pirates, Felger and Mazz wonder how the Red Sox will respond against this formidable Philly ball club. The Sox recent lapses have thrown them back into the thick of the AL East division race, and they need to elevate their play to avoid being swept by the Phillies. Will the Sox rise to the occasion and make their case as the best team in baseball, or will this series leave Sox fan fearing the possibility of a World Series match-up with the Phillies? Tune in to find out!

Commercial Property Valuation
Commercial property valuation is an expert service based on an in-depth knowledge of taxation rules, property law, quantity surveying and a number of other specific factors.
In addition to the condition of the building and its internal components, these include the potential for tax depreciation schedules which can generate significant annual tax rebates, the local amenities and the general condition of the surrounding area.
Local property valuers
Moreover, the property valuers will need to investigate any proposed development plans which would increase or decrease the investment property's value in the future.
Therefore, engaging the services of a team of well-established property valuers with long-standing, and comprehensive, local knowledge is crucial to enhance the profit potential of current owners and possible investors.
Property valuation of single use family homes is a fairly straightforward process, based on the recent selling prices of similar homes in the immediate area. However, commercial property valuation requires a much higher level of expertise.
After all, if you are considering the purchase of an investment high rise, with a department store and restaurant on the ground level, a legal firm renting three storeys of office space and the other floors are occupied by rental apartments, you are unlikely to find a similarly configured commercial building nearby.
Investment potential
Officially certified, commercial property valuations require the combined expertise of an experienced local valuation expert, a registered Tax Agent and a fully qualified Quantity Surveyor.
Opteon provides the full range of commercial property valuation services, as well as independent professional advice on the profit potential of commercial properties.
Opteon's team of valuers and advisors are highly respected consultants to governmental departments, statutory authorities, major business corporations and investors. Furthermore, we also provide extensive property advice to lawyers, accountants, financial planners and real estate agents.

New U.S. railroad shipping regulations to take effect next month
Experts say new rules unlikely to reduce risk of accidents, terrorist attacks
WASHINGTON - Tankers filled with deadly chemicals are likely to continue to roll through Baltimore and other major cities despite new federal rules initially aimed at reducing the risk of catastrophic accidents or terrorist threats by sending much of the cargo through less-populated areas.
Beginning next month, railroads must analyze alternative routes for shipping chlorine and other hazardous materials, and pick the path they find to be the safest and most secure, as well as practical and "commercially viable."
But meaningful security improvements are unlikely, say safety experts and local officials. The analysis will be performed by the railroads themselves, using a model they are developing in agreement with the Bush administration and endorsed by Congress. There will be virtually no outside review, and limited input from state and local leaders or emergency responders. And any decisions on rerouting will be left to the railroads.
Railroads have already opposed mandatory rerouting of chemical tankers around Baltimore and other places. Critics note that rail companies will be reluctant to hand their cargo to a competitor with a nearby track in order to keep chemicals out of cities.
"It would be very difficult to say that we're safer" because of the new rules, said U.S. Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, a Baltimore Democrat who voted for the security package.
"It's very easy to criticize this and say it's not enough," Cummings said. "This is going to be a process, and may take a number of years. Is it a giant step? No. But it's a medium-sized step."
Federal transportation and railroad officials say it makes sense for the railroads to do the route analysis, since they are most knowledgeable about those issues. Track selection is just one component of hazardous material safety, they say.
"I call the critics nonsensical if they think this isn't a strong step," Federal Railroad Administrator Joseph H. Boardman told reporters recently.
About 1.8 million carloads of hazardous material move along the nation's rails each year, according to the American Association of Railroads. Of that, 100,000 loads are especially dangerous gases or liquids known as "toxic inhalation hazards," most commonly chlorine and anhydrous ammonia. The chemicals are in effect the same type of poison gas used on the front line during World War I, and are now used to treat wastewater and produce fertilizer.
The new requirements are rooted in efforts by Baltimore, Washington and other cities to ban railroads from hauling toxic substances through heavily populated areas. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks revived scrutiny of such transportation-related vulnerabilities.
A cloud of chlorine released deliberately or by accident could kill tens of thousands, depending on its location and the number of people in its path, government and military studies show.
In Baltimore, much of the cargo passes on tracks owned by CSX Transportation, which would not disclose the number and type of shipments.
But Baltimore has first-hand experience with the dangers. In July 2001, just months before Sept. 11, a derailment in the 1.7-mile-long CSX-owned Howard Street tunnel sparked a conflagration of dangerous chemicals that shut down the city center.
Rail lines pass within feet of the stadiums where the Ravens and Orioles play. Because of the danger, shipments were suspended last year when President Bush attended the Army-Navy football game at M&T Bank Stadium.
"I just happen to think that certain hazardous materials should not come through a major city," said former Baltimore City Councilman Kenneth N.Harris Sr., who sponsored a local rerouting proposal that was never adopted.
CSX and the railroad association said they would not comment on the potential for rerouting until the analyses were completed.

As Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., wrote in 1904, "taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society."
But the wealthiest Americans, who haven't raked in as much of America's income and wealth since the 1920s, are today paying a lower tax rate than they have in over thirty years. Even…
Last week Utne Reader web editor David Doody wrote a post about what Alison Kilkenny at The Nation has called "the era of the one-sided compromise," questioning whether the Republican party, both at the state and national levels, could actually compromise on a budget deal that included some sort of new tax revenue. His conclusion was no, they wouldn't be able to. Which is exactly what played out over the weekend, as Jonathan Cohn writes at The New Republic:
As you have probably heard by now, House Speaker John Boehner on Saturday evening informed President Obama that he was no longer interested in pursuing a "grand bargain" on deficit reduction. It was a major turning point in the debate. For the past week, Obama has made clear that he hoped to use ongoing negotiations over the debt ceiling to put in place a massive, potentially historic deal to reorder the nation's spending priorities – a deal that would reduce deficits by as much as $4 trillion cumulatively over the next decade.

As the impacts of climate change become more prevalent, Americans face decisions about how to plan and respond. Using scientific information to prepare for climate change can create economic opportunities, and proactively managing the risks can reduce impacts and costs over time.
Actions to prepare for and adjust to changing climate conditions—thereby reducing harm or taking advantage of new opportunities—are known as "adaptation." The other major category of response options is known as mitigation, and involves efforts to reduce the amount and speed of future climate change by limiting emissions or removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Adaptation and mitigation actions are linked in multiple ways, including that effective mitigation reduces the need for adaptation in the future.
Preparing for both climate variability and climate change can reduce impacts while also facilitating a more rapid and efficient response to changes as they happen. Such efforts are accelerating at the Federal, regional, state, tribal, and local levels, and in the corporate and non-governmental sectors. Actions to reduce emissions, increase carbon uptake, adapt to changing climate, and increase resilience to impacts can improve public health, economic development, ecosystem protection, and quality of life.
To learn more about America's response options and the information on this page, explore Chapters 26–30 of USGCRP's National Climate Assessment.

These Hate Haiku poems are examples of Haiku poems about Hate. These are the best examples of Hate Haiku poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Evil's popular,
But I will do the right thing.
If caught, so be it.
To lose someone you love....
Its like trying to live violently among the peaceful people who are dying
To lose someone you love....
Its like Im living in lies with laughter and happiness while Im truthfully sitting in anger and pain while crying
Im grounded in shame yet Im still airborn with death together we flying
Its hurts when one dies past groundshaken proximity under the hate but sent with earthshattering love above
where we live to die yet we are born to survive where we bred to learn to get past all the ones we have lost with hate because ITS REALLY HURTS TO LOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE.
Sometimes I wonder why people gotta be
so cruel, then I say oh, yeah because they
have no life, and they make themselves
feel better by bullying others. I frikin hate
it! I wished they knew how it felt pickin'
on someone they didn't even know, maybe
someone should pick on them; when they don't
even know them. It makes me sick looking
at their faces. The main bully would be
my ex. He Knows who he is, he tries so hard
to make me look dumb, and make me physically
break down, what he don't know is my
Hubby has made me stronger & better than that.
So he can try, but it won't work.

Hate, a saddle Bronc
That bucks not the spectator
It bucks you alone

the fool in the world
as the wind blows south

soaked are roots with pride
I cannot believe that I used to have a crush on you,
You are cold, heartless, and MEAN!
I never talked about you, never did anything to you,
I never deserved that, you had no need to be so mean.
You stooped so low, never had I seen someone do that,
People told me you were like this, I just didn't believe them.
I didn't believe her when she said you were a womanizer,
Didn't believe you were a Cowboy Casanova, well you showed me,
And never will I do that again, you made me believe,
Believe her, snf you made me believe you liked me, you led me,
Led me on, and then you were like, "I don't like you."
Well guess what I didn't care then, and I sure don't care now,
Cause I loved my hubby all along,
Love him more than anyone and anything, I love him and only him!
I cannot believe I used to have a crush on someone like you,
I swear you are the spawn of Satan himself,
And I feel sorry for girls who date you or fall in love with you,
I do, because all you do is play them like a game.
I don't hate you, but I don't like you like that anymore.
You led me to believe you liked me, and then you said it was all a joke,
Yeah well you were a joke.
You were a pill, I was willing to take,
I am glad I didn't take you,
You are an unmistakeable , unidentified drug.
I am a good-bad girl, I can tell a bad boy,
But even I didn't see this, didn't see that you like this,
The boy with beautiful brown eyes,
Are now dull, no longer do they shine,
That brown hair, that I loved, is now just a memory,
The boy born on February 18th,
The one that I thought was perfect,
God what the hell was I thinking??
Don't ask if I'm alright,
I don't have the answer,
But if you ask me if I want to hurt you badly, I will say,
Say yes without hesitation.
You have no idea how bad I want to hurt you,
But then again I don't.
Half of me hates you,
The other half can't bear to see you,
The game you played on me,
It was cleaver, but it was also cruel and hurtful!
I want to hurt you like you hurt me, but I could never that mean.
I could be as mean as you,
The person who doesn't know how much what he does hurts people,
I bet you don't care either,
Because that's just the kind of person you are.
They tried to warn me, those two girls, M&H,
But I didn't listen to them.
I didn't listen to them, because I am not the kind of person,
The kind of person, to believe what other people say, without,
Without knowing about you, getting to know what you're like,
Until you do that to me.
Until I learn on my own, that's the kinda person I am,
I take the time to figure people out, instead of judging them,
Judging them by how they look like, and what people say,
That's the kinda person I am, I am a strong Redneck Woman.
And I will never change who I am, change myself for anyone,
I will not change for anyone.
If you don't like me for myself, then you don't deserve my time, or my words,
Or my anything.
This is officially the end of me and my poem,
They're out there again,
texting tweets and lighting crosses
over heartfelt kiss.
Congratulations to the Rams and Michael Sams.

What would you do if you knew this was my last day to live??
Would you try and save or let me go?
Would you even care for my soul?
What would you do if I was a fallen angel?
Would you still recognize me?
Would you talk to me or ignore me?
What would you do if I died?
Would you have a funeral for me, so all my friends & family could come?
Would you cry or even mourn a 'lil bit?
Would you care that I was gone, or would be happy?
What would you do if I was a ghost?
Would you feel me right beside you, guarding you, Watching over you, protecting you?
Would you see me?
Tell me would you walk all over me, or maybe even walk through me, as if I weren't there?
What would you do if I was a demon?
Would you still love me then?
Would you still care and forgive me?
Would you just say "You are stupid, and I hate you?"
What would you do if I were and angel?
Would you love me more, or would you love me less?
Would you feel me touch you, and comfort you when you need someone and you think noone is there for you, well that's a lie, cause I am right here beside you to catch you if you fall, to dry your tears, and to heal your wounds of any kind.
What would you do if I was still alive?
Would you continue to hate me, and call me sadistic names?
Would this world still be cruel?
Would there still be a rule?
What would you do?

Top economies get clever with oil, IEA says
The report said that a measure of global dependency on oil, the oil intensity ratio, would decline by 2.6 percent next year.
Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 08:32 AM
OIL CATASTROPHE: The report forecast a fall in production of 30,000 barrels per day from the Gulf of Mexico in 2010-2011 owing to the effects of the BP oil spill disaster. (Photo: Gregory Bull/AP)
The world is raising its overall game in the use of oil, with advanced economies reducing dependence through changes in consumption, opening a window of price stability, the IEA said on Tuesday.
Increased economic activity in advanced economies is no longer matched by a commensurate rise in oil consumption the International Energy Agency said, pointing to an 18-month window of probable stability on the oil market.
"Markets in 2011 may prove 'not too hot, not too cold'," the International Energy Agency said.
"Whisper it quietly, but we might, just might, be in for some market stability for a while longer."
The overall outlook suggested "a market balance remaining relatively comfortable through mid 2011, but with tightening market fundamentals possible from the second half of next year."
The IEA said it was assuming that the oil price next year would average $79.40 per barrel. In London, the benchmark price of oil eased slightly on Tuesday to $74.65 a barrel.
It also said that a measure of global dependency on oil as an input for a given level of production, the oil intensity ratio, would decline by 2.6 percent next year.
High oil prices and then the huge economic downturn curbed demand sharply in the last two years.
The IEA said that now, as the global economy heads for growth of 4.1 percent this year and 4.3 percent next year, "greater efficiency, saturation and interfuel substitution more than outweigh the impact of economic growth on oil demand," in OECD countries.
A telling example is a rapid switch in Germany, the biggest European user of heating fuel, to home boilers which used low-sulphur fuel and raised efficiency by 15-20 percent.
"North America will cease to act as an engine of demand growth in the OECD as the 2010 economic rebound ... fades. This region's oil demand decline will compound the fall expected in Europe and the Pacific."
Oil demand in the United States was set to fall by 0.5 percent to 18.9 million barrels a day in 2011, after growth of 1.0 percent in 2010.
Economic recovery in Europe might be threatened by austerity drives in Germany, France and Britain.
But even if a setback or a "double-dip" recession were averted, and expected "relative strong" growth of 1.9 percent materialised, European "oil demand will continue to decline in 2011."
China would account for 30 percent of the rise in global demand next year from about half this year.
Growth of Chinese demand remained a key factor, and appeared to have risen by 9.5 percent in May on a 12-month comparison, but this was sharply lower than recent growth of 17.4 percent and pointed towards a "gentle slowdown" in the second half of this year as the government attempts to cool down the economy."
The IEA repeated unease about the quality of statistics from China, saying that if the oil figures were correct "this could suggest that GDP (growth) readings may be inflated."
The agency, the energy strategy arm of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, held its forecasts for growth of global oil demand this year largely unchanged at 86.5 million barrels per day, showing an increase of 1.8 mbd or 2.1 percent from 2009.
The rate of growth in demand would then slow down in 2011 to 1.3 million barrels per day or 1.6 percent, to a total of 87.8 mbd.
Next year, "growth will be driven entirely by non-OECD countries," it said, to the extent of 1.6 mbd or 3.8 percent.
And new supply is coming increasingly from outside the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Expansion of OPEC's oil capacity was expected to falter up to the end of next year.
The agency said that its "relatively relaxed" view of market fundamentals at least until the middle of next year hinged on continuing, if slower, growth of non-OPEC supply.
The report forecast a fall in production of 30,000 barrels per day from the Gulf of Mexico in 2010-2011 owing to the effects of the BP oil spill disaster, but also said this would be more than offset by an increase in output in 2011 of 55,000 barrels per day.
It estimated roughly that the total of oil spewed into the sea so far as a result of the Deepwater Horizon well disaster was 2.3-4.5 million barrels.
Regarding sanctions against Iran for its nuclear programme, the IEA said they were already driving up fuel prices and were "casting doubt on the republic's ability to source the full volumes required."
The sanctions were "expected to have a material impact on the country's energy industry." it said.

The Foreign Affair Winery The Foreign Affair The Conspiracy 2011
Niagara Peninsula, Canada
My Review: I must confess to being a bit apprehensive about sampling this wine.
I had this preconcieved notion that as good as they could try, Canadian wines just couldn't quite compete with the quintessential wineries of the world. Ooopsies! How wrong was I !
I was so impressed with this wine, that I almost blushed from the embarrassment of my prejudgement, and not from the flush of tannins!
This is a dry, fruity, medium to full bodied wine. The dryness really activates the palet at the right speed, it awakens the roof of your mouth with a punch and then disappears in time for the fruits, spicey plumbs and cherries, to surface from their oaky barrel before the finale of a suggestion of chocolate.
I must say this wine is extremley present and intreguing if drunk on its own, but with the accompaniment of an evening meal, the entire complexity of this wine blends beautifuly together in an incredible mouthful! Well done Niagara Peninsula!
Bottoms up!

Mas Amiel Notre Terre 2009
Languedoc-Roussillon, France
My Review: Wow! Wow! Wow! This is an amazing celebration wine. Extremely dark in colour with complex notes on the nose. The first smell is fruity. A jammy collection of fruits. A first seepage of cherries, then prunes and raspberries. This is a seriously full bodied wine, yet it is possible to pick up on a floral violet presence which gives way to a quick pepper punch! This is a wine that definatly needs decanting a couple of hours before drinking and could almost be a desert wine, not for it's sweetness but for its complex presence, it is verging on having Porto qualities.
This wine would be delicious with any meal that has an abundance of fresh herbs, roast beef with provincial herbs ....or a rosemary panna cotta desert....
An amazing wine that will not dissapoint!

La Préceptorie Coume Marie 2011
My Review: Let's talk about a wine with attitude!
Usually when I open a bottle of wine I actually like to take a sip almost straight away, although it needs to breath there's something so curious in my nature that it drives me impatiently to take a taste! All wines change after an initial opening period, but I have never noticed such a change as with this incredible chameleon of a wine.
Upon the first sip it was apparent that it was a floral wine, slight notes of blackberries and with a subtle tartness to it. Within 10 minutes of opening there was a pleasant acidity almost like balsamic vinegar with an enhanced fruit and oak barel finish. By now, this wine was really starting to embrace the air, the more it breathed, the less brash it became and it took on a different more refined personality. After half an hour, this wine had become much more subtle and it would be delicious with distinctive cheeses.
For an evening meal, this wine would sing to accompany a meal that had a punchy chorizo or a smoked paprika tomatoe chicken, infact.....let's simply say garlic....yum!
Bottoms up!!

This is a wine that is classy enough to step backwards and allows you to show case your meal whilst all along it is actually the show stopper. It has subtlety, yet confidence in its presentation!

"Piano del Cerro" Aglianco del Vulture 2008
Basilicata, Italy
My Review: The weight of this bottle was so heavy that i needed the wine to sustain me afterwards! There is a curious spider on the front of the bottle which made me feel drawn to enjoy the contents as the approach of Halloween gets closer…and then the name Piano….I could imagine sitting looking out at the beautiful changes of the leaves as a piano played Jazz in the back ground….yup, i had high expectations and i hadn't even popped the cork yet!
Well rest assured, there was no worry to be had… This wine delivered in every one of my expectations,I will go as far as to say, buy more than one bottle!
After finally lifting this heavy bottle and popping that cork, I poured the most rich cherry coloured liquid, i smelled cherries immediately. So far the marriage was perfect. My first sip revealed delicious fruits, and yes, predominantly cherries. After this taste subsides there is an almost sweetness of a mild acidic balsamic vinegar which opens up to a vegetable, mineral essence, before a long, dry finish.
The name of this wine…Piano Del Cerro gives a hint into the ability to create the complexity and richness of it's taste, translated, planes of the hills….producing difficult growing conditions, but yielding a powerfully structured wine!
This wine would be perfect with spicy Turkey meat balls in a balsamic tomato sauce .

My Review: i am completely blown out of the ball park with this wine….for me..i have found perfection! At 15.5 % i was pre judging it to be liquorice based,but oh how wrong i was! This wine has the perfect length of tannins, the right amount of dryness and a ridiculously low price!
This delicious, sweeter than i usually review,wine, evokes the feeling of a glorious picnic under the rays of the sun, intact I feel transported to the Spanish countryside! The first sip is fruity, with a non overpowering sweetness of blueberries and plums…as this fades away a mineral essence with an introduction of violets! Please tell me by now you're not head over heals in love. There are no hard edges, no harsh tannins and a slight end on a chocolate note!!! ahhhh! Yum!

Raymond Reserve Merlot 2008
California, United States
My Review: I first fell in love with this wine about three years ago. It was stunning then and has maintained its level of integrity till now. I love buying and trying new wines but sometimes there is just nothing that matches the delicious warmth of such an intelligent wine!
This wine introduces itself with velvety flavours, this is a well raised wine, it's fruity yet subtle, it' yields a rounded body but it's not brash, it lingers just long enough on your tongue not to outstay its welcome...with a tingle of vanilla .
Although we generally pair white wines with fish I do feel that a herb crusted fish with some subtle spices would accomodate this wine at the table and all would feel highly satisfied . For those looking for a red meat to accompany this wine I highly recommend rack of lamb coated in parsley,lemon, mint and breadcrumb mixture ...delicious!
Bottoms up!

Carousel provides access to a decent set of adjustment tools, though Adobe should probably put red-eye removal on the list for the next revision. For each of the three main adjustment tools--white balance, exposure, and contrast--there's a submenu that you access by touching the double arrows. One really nice feature is the ability to choose auto independently for white balance and exposure. The edits are nondestructive, in that they don't affect the original image and can be changed at any point.
While I generally like the adjustment tools and interface, you'll notice that there's no scale or visual cues, other than intensity, on the slider UI. It would be nice if, for example, white balance showed the extents for warm and cool.

Traditionally speaking, the Oscars and baseball have gone together like…well, like Alex Rodriguez and humility. Not very well at all.
There have been a few Oscar-nominated baseball movies over the years, but not very many. And there have been a couple notable snubs too.
It just wouldn't be an Oscar post without a discussion of snubs.
With the Oscars looming, let's remember the handful of baseball movies that did make an impression on the Academy. And note a couple that were perhaps unfairly overlooked.
Pride of the Yankees (1942)
Made just a year after the Hall of Famer's death, this heartfelt biopic of Lou Gehrig just about nailed every element, setting a bar that few other baseball biographies have been able to cross. Gary Cooper's portrayal of Gehrig may be a tad too aw shucksy for belief, but Cooper remains charming and ultimately inspiring as the Iron Horse.
Oh, and the coolest thing about this movie? Babe Ruth appears as himself. Babe Ruth is always awesome.
The movie struck a chord with both audiences and the Academy, snagging 11 Oscar nominations. It would win only one award though: a trophy for best editing.
Fun fact: Cooper couldn't bat left handed for crap so they had to shoot all his batting scenes with him hitting righty, then flip it in post-production (which meant printing the word "Yankees" backward across the front of Cooper's uniform).
The Stratton Story (1949)
Another inspiring baseball biopic, this time starring Jimmy Stewart as real-life White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton, who came back to pitch in the majors after losing a leg in a hunting accident. The guy pitched on a wooden leg? How's that for moxie.
This is pretty meat-and-potatoes stuff, but it was good enough to snag an award for best screenplay. Like Pride of the Yankees – like I said, that one pretty much created the formula – the movie features several cameos by real ball players, including Bill Dickey.
Fun fact: Ronald Reagan was set to play Stratton but Warner Bros. refused to loan him out, fearing the movie would be a flop.
Bang the Drum Slowly (1973)
The Oscars seemed to forget that baseball existed for the entirety of the '50s and '60s, then came Bang the Drum Slowly, an adaptation of a 1953 novel about a benchwarming catcher who learns that he's dying.
The story revolves mostly around the friendship between the dying catcher, played in the movie by a very young Robert De Niro, and a star pitcher played by Michael Moriarty. The movie again follows the rough Pride of the Yankees formula – a pretty durable formula to say the least – but substitutes male camaraderie for a traditional love story.
The movie got one Oscar nomination…not for either of the lead actors, who are terrific, but for the always-great Vincent Gardenia as the requisite crusty manager.
Fun fact: Bang the Drum Slowly is purportedly Al Pacino's favorite movie.
The Natural (1984)
Naturally, The Natural would be on this list. Barry Levinson's adaptation of Bernard Malamud's novel was one of the big event films of 1984, starring the legendary Robert Redford as an aging one-time phenom rising from the ashes to lead an also-ran ball club on an unlikely pennant chase.
This one maybe lays it on a bit too thick at times – exploding lights! – but there's no denying the effectiveness of the movie's storytelling, and there are some fantastic performances sprinkled throughout. The crowd-pleasing flick picked up four Oscar nominations, including one for its beautiful cinematography and another for Randy Newman's memorable score, but came away without a statue.
Fun fact: Robert Redford modeled his swing after Ted Williams.
Field of Dreams (1989)
Field of Dreams is probably number one on more lists of Greatest Sports Movie than any other flick. Some may find its mix of fantasy and sentiment a bit hard to swallow, but there's no denying the basic charm of the story, which follows a failing Iowa farmer on his gently crazy quest to build a baseball diamond in his cornfield so the ghost of Shoeless Joe Jackson can come back and play one last time.
The wacky premise yields a movie that hits just about every button, sometimes a little too much on the nose you could argue. But there's no arguing the movie's place in history as a classic baseball film. The Academy couldn't ignore this one, nominating the movie for three Oscars including best picture. It won zero.
Fun fact: James Earl Jones' famous speech made him the unofficial voice of the sport…which is funny because Jones admittedly doesn't know or care anything about baseball.
Bull Durham (1989)
1989 was the Year of the Baseball Movie. Field of Dreams was the four-hanky male weepie (or dude-chick flick if you prefer), while Bull Durham was the sexy comedy.
What separated Bull Durham from the pack – making it way more interesting than a more traditional, cartoonish baseball comedy like Major League – was its marvelous Ron Shelton script. Shelton filled his story of life on a minor league baseball team with details he learned from being an actual minor league ballplayer, and that extra layer of realistic observation is what really gives the movie its punch and texture.
There are great characters, especially Annie Savoy the Confucius of baseball groupies, and there are so many fantastic moments that still live in pop culture lore. Say "he hit the bull" to a baseball fan and he will immediately know what you mean. Shelton's script deservedly received an Oscar nomination, though it did not win.
Fun fact: Ron Shelton has not entirely ruled out the possibility of a sequel.
Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream (1995)
There have been some fantastic baseball documentaries over the years, most notably Ken Burns' epic Baseball series, but surprisingly few Oscar nominated baseball docs. Apparently the Academy is no more interested in true life baseball stories than it is fictionalized ones.
They made an exception in 1995 by nominating Michael Tollin's documentary detailing Hank Aaron's pursuit of Babe Ruth's home run record and the racism that rained down on him from people who didn't want a black man breaking Ruth's hallowed mark.
Fun fact: Denzel Washington was an executive producer on this, which possibly explains its nomination.
Moneyball (2011)
Most of the other movies on this list share one thing in common besides baseball: they all lay on the sentimentality to one degree or another. It seems most of the time the only way the Academy can stomach a baseball movie is if it has been slathered in syrup.
Moneyball broke the mold a little bit by straightforwardly presenting its subject matter, keeping the inspirational nonsense to a minimum. The film is essentially an underdog tale presented in whiz-bang fashion (the pacing and dialog possibly help you not notice all the cliches).
It tells the more-or-less true story of A's general manager Billy Beane and his efforts to break through the conventional wisdom of old school baseball men and push his revolutionary analytical approach to scouting. It sounds way too dry and baseball-nerdy to succeed as a movie, but they pulled it off (partly by overselling the underdog angle).
The flick became a critical darling, picking up six nominations including best picture. It won zero.
Fun fact: Art Howe criticized Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of him, but somewhat retracted his negative remarks after the actor's passing.
A short list that should have been longer. How did these movies not get nominated?
The Bad News Bears
At the very least, the original Bad News Bears should have gotten Walter Matthau a best actor nomination. Is there a funnier performance than Matthau's portrayal of the drunken little league coach Buttermaker? The script and direction are tight as well, and the kid acting is some of the most hilarious, natural, non-Hollywood-kid performing you will ever see. This is a movie you can throw on any time and have a laugh.
Eight Men Out
John Sayles' absorbing account of the 1919 Black Sox scandal seems like the kind of movie that would at least snag a best screenplay nomination, but it didn't happen. You can also make a case that John Cusack deserved a supporting actor nod for playing Buck Weaver. This one might have been a little too literary and complex for the Academy who seem to prefer treacly, simplified fables and cloying inspirational biopics when it comes to baseball fare.
The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
This portrait of Jewish baseball legend Hank Greenberg might be the greatest baseball documentary ever made. Like the story of Jackie Robinson, the story of Hank Greenberg has significance way beyond baseball itself. So it's not strictly a baseball documentary, it's a work about a significant historical figure. So why no nomination for best documentary? Dumb Academy rules. But not for those rules, this might have won the Oscar.

Together they loved spending time with their friends at South Bay Folk, City Espresso, and at the Gibson Homecoming.
Dr. Robert James Parden died July 20, 2014, after a brief illness, at home in Saratoga surrounded by his family. He was 92.
Dr. Parden was a former professor and dean of the School of Engineering, 1954-1982. His dynamic presence, longevity with the University, and visionary leadership in the School of Engineering are legendary. Among his many contributions to the University, Dr. Parden launched the graduate engineering program in 1959, offering "Early Bird" classes for working professionals, and established the Department of Engineering Management and Leadership in 1978. He remained a faculty member of the Department until retirement in 2012.

John F. Dullea, S.J., 85, died Friday, August 1, 2014, at Sacred Heart Jesuit Center, Los Gatos, after a long illness.
Jack was born in San Francisco in 1929, graduated from St. Ignatius College Prep, and entered the Jesuit Order in Los Gatos in 1945. After a period of studies and teaching he went to Innsbruck, Austria, for his theological studies where he was ordained to the priesthood on July 26, 1959. He did graduate studies at the Gregorian University, Rome, where he earned a doctorate in Theology in 1963.
His assignments included teaching Theology at Santa Clara University, retreat director at the Jesuit Retreat Center, Los Altos, and parish work at St. Mary's Church, Ogden, Utah. He also spent a total of eleven years at the Jesuit headquarters in Rome in a variety of administrative positions.
In 1990 he moved into high school guidance work as college counselor, first at Bellarmine College Prep, San Jose, and then, from 2000-08, at Verbum Dei High School in the Watts area of Los Angeles. He served as Senior Priest at the Jesuit novitiate in Culver City before retiring to Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in 2010.
Jack was the brother of the late Fr. Charles Dullea, S.J., former president of the University of San Francisco. He is survived by many nieces and nephews.
Elizabeth "Betty" Moran, professor emerita in English, died on June 23 after a long illness. She was 95 years old. Betty joined the English Department at Santa Clara in 1963 as one of three women faculty at the University. She retired in 1994 and thereafter received emerita status.
Betty was a woman of "firsts" and made her mark at Santa Clara as a teacher, scholar and administrator. She was the first woman to gain tenure in the College of Arts and Sciences; was the first woman elected president of the Faculty Senate; was the first woman to direct the Grants and Fellowships Office and the Faculty Development Program; served as the first woman chair of the Affirmative Action Committee; and founded and directed the Teaching and Learning Center. As a pioneer in African and African-American literature, Betty was the first at Santa Clara to teach a course in African literature. Her persistent work to establish a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at Santa Clara paid off in 1977 when we became the first Catholic institution west of the Mississippi River to earn a chapter.

An avid bicycle rider and swimmer, he had been active in the bicycling community and was much loved by his students, friends and family members.

To suggest that they weren't signings designed to push Arsenal forward and Champions League quality signings would be ludicrous.

James Ruscitti is serving a life sentence for the 1996 execution-style slayings of his parents, his brother's 17-year-old girlfriend and a boarder who lived in their home near 100 Mile House, 500 kilometres northeast of Vancouver.
Now 33, Ruscitti was 15 when he and a 14-year-old accomplice committed the crimes.
A National Parole Board decision says Ruscitti is considered a moderate to high risk for violent reoffending, but has made progress and apologized to the victims during a parole hearing earlier this month.
With the 60-day unescorted temporary absence, he will attend a community residential facility on Vancouver Island — the first step in what the board decision called a "very gradual" reintegration into society.
The parole decision said the victims' family members want no contact with Ruscitti and one of the conditions of his temporary release is that he make no attempt to contact them.

So today started at 7, where I crawled out of bed, got ready and made a marmite sandwich. Got into town for approximately 8:15 and waited near on 45mins for a poxy bus to the train station. In that time I could have walked to the station! But, past is past and I managed to make it to the station on time. Hung out with Hannah on the train and looked all educated and mature reading up on our current affairs in today's edition of The Guardian. We ended up in the bustling metropolis of London, via London Liverpool Street which was freezing! We then all jumped on the tube to Kings Cross, upon exiting the station, Hannah and I were stuck with the slowest walking teacher, even walking ahead of him without realising. We encountered The Guardian's building - a beautiful construction of steel and glass. Even the chairs in the reception oozed sophistication and cool! The short glimpses that I got of the inside of the building, have made me want to get into journalism even more, it was incredible. As a group we were lucky enough to meet Patrick Kingsley, who is a feature writer at The Guardian and he told us about how he got into writing and how to write a brilliant feature. After he left we cracked on with our own feature articles which were put in templates laid out like a page in G2 or The Guardian. Embarrassingly I am so happy at how well my article came together. All in all, I had a lovely time and if you are in school or sixth form college, I highly recommend you ask your English department to set up a workshop with The Guardian newspaper. It will help no end with aspects of your work at college as well as inspiring the journalist in you.

If you haven't tried Mellel, you should. I downloaded it for the Hebrew support, but it has replaced Word as my default word processor. One major advantage: long file names (and I do mean LONG!). Mellel's style handling is far superior to Word's. You can change the formatting of entire paragraphs with only a few key strokes, including font, font weight, indenting, and spacing — all simultaneously.
The guys that write Mellel also support it. It's rare that I need their support, but great support is only an e-mail away. I've never had to wait more than 24 hours for a helpful response.
You owe it to yourself to try Mellel.
