Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Nick Tepesch tossed 6 2/3 strong innings to help the Texas Rangers take a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a four-game set on Thursday.
Tepesch (2-1) gave up just one run on five hits while Nelson Cruz and Elvis Andrus each drove in a run for the Rangers, who have won six of seven.
Josh Willingham's home run accounted for the only offense for the Twins, who have dropped their past two. Vance Worley (0-3) gave up two runs on six hits over five innings to take the loss.
Texas went on top in the second inning as Adrian Beltre doubled to leadoff, moved to third on an A.J. Pierzynski groundout and easily scored off a Cruz single.
In the fifth, the Rangers made it a 2-0 game when Leonys Martin singled with out and later scored off an Andrus double.
Tepesch cruised through the first four innings, retiring all 12 batters he faced.
Justin Morneau got the Twins into the hit column with a leadoff single in the fourth, but he was stranded at second and the team wasted another leadoff basehit in the sixth, this time from Aaron Hicks.
Willingham smoked a pitch over the left field wall in the seventh to get the Twins on the board, but the team stranded two men on base in the inning.
In the eighth, the Twins had an opportunity to tie the game or even go ahead as they loaded the bases with one out, but Willingham grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to end the frame.
Joe Nathan worked around a two-out single in the ninth to pick up his seventh save of the season.
Texas took eight of 10 from Minnesota last season ... Texas went 1-for-7 with
runners in scoring position and left nine on base, while Minnesota was 0-for-4
with RISP and left six ... Justin Grimm takes the mound for Texas on Friday
and will be opposed by Scott Diamond for Minnesota.

It's still really early in the Era of the Super Friends, so the opportunities for Theo and the Wonder Twins to screw up have been minimal so far. Maybe you disagreed with the firing of Quade (you should open your mouth a little wider when you speak). You weren't alone if you wished Ryne Sandberg would have gotten another shot at prolonged rejection (thanks for picking us up, Cardinals). Maybe you think his biggest mistake was accepting the job in the first place (thank God for lapses in judgment). But all that aside, I'm wondering what his first mistake is likely to be. As usual, I came up with nonsense.
Clone Zambrano. It's a typical mistake of smart people. He'll work so hard to see if he could do it, he won't stop to think if he should.
Cancel the 7th Inning Stretch guest conductor. Yeah, it sounds like an easy way to get rid of Jim Belushi and random American Idol castoffs, but the next thing you know we'll all be singing Neil Diamond.
Physical contact with Ronnie Woo Woo Wickers. Okay, I guess we should retitle this post "Theo's Second Mistake."
Stage a military offensive across Eastern Russia. Let's not repeat Dallas Green's undoing.
Bring back Koyie Hill. The Cubs used to win every game Koyie Hill played. Apparently it's no longer funny enough to incapacitate the other team with laughter, so it's probably time to find a new gimmick.
Compare anyone to Hitler. Seriously, no matter how funny you think it's going to be, this never works out.
Establish a closer by committee. It's not that this can't work, it's just that it makes it very difficult to focus our game-ending outrage. Fan angst is all about memes these days, and if it's a different guy blowing the 9th-inning lead the Cubs manage to get every few days, the consistency of our rants will be way off. I can see this one happening though, for sure.
Hit Reply All. There are a lot of Super Friends. They don't all want to hear everyone's availability for the holiday party.
Keep playing "Go Cubs Go" after every win. Maybe Theo's a bit of a traditionalist, but isn't it time we switched to something a little more current like "Men in Blue"?
Wander into the left field bleachers. Whatever Ricketts tells you the surprise is, don't buy it. It's a trap. (This one's probably inevitable.)
Make eye contact across the center trough. Rookie mistake. Might not happen first, but it'll happen. And then, for some fan, the Theo era will be incurably awkward.
Flip him for Ricky Nalasco. Doesn't matter who "him" is. Don't. Just . . . don't.
Do a musical episode. And while we're at it, no clip shows either.
Try to rank the seasons of The Jack Benny Show. That list is set in stone.
Leave his wing man. It's not your flying. It's your attitude.
8 years, $136 million. . . . yeah.

Monday, June 30, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (June 30, 2003) - East Tennessee State University men's basketball coach Murry Bartow announced Monday that former Memphis White Station standout Travis Strong (Memphis) has signed a grant-in-aid to play basketball for the Buccaneers this season. Strong, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound guard, averaged 14 points and three steals a game last season in helping lead White Station to its second-straight TSSAA Class AAA state championship. Known for his athleticism and tenacious defensive play, Strong is a very capable outside shooter and outstanding leaper. "We're really excited that Travis has decided to be a part of our program here at ETSU," said Bartow, who is in his first season at ETSU. "Travis is a proven winner and you can see that in the fact he comes from an incredibly successful high school program that has gone 72-4 over the last two seasons. He is the kind of player that will fit well with the players we already have in place." Strong's accomplishments and honors on the basketball floor are numerous. He was an all-district and all-region pick out of District VIII and was selected to the 2003 TSSAA Class AAA All-State Tournament team. A "Best of Preps" pick by the Memphis Commercial-Appeal this past year, Strong scored over 1,500 points and collected 170 steals during his prep career. "ETSU is getting a player who is a hard worker and a team player," said White Station head coach Terry Tippett. "I think it's important to point out that his stats are in light of the fact that we had a 14-player rotation his junior year and a 10-player rotation his senior year. Much of the time, Travis would only play two-thirds of our games because we would get up by 30 points and sit our best players." Strong joins A.J. Jackson (Monessen, Pa.) and Aaron Scott (Houma, La.) as members of the Buccaneers' 2003 recruiting class. Bartow still has one scholarship remaining, but emphasized that he is looking for the right player to fill that spot. "We still need a big, inside player," Bartow said. "But we're obviously getting late in the game and if we can't find the right player, we will just hold off and wait for the right fit."

It was romantic. It was delicate. It was desirable. It was Valentino.
The spring/summer 2013 collection was a sweet display of what its designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli called a "neo-realist Rome" with a "desire for reinvention" that was easy and elegant in cut-out lace and classic A-lines.
You definitely got a swoon-worthy sense of that Roman Holiday in 2013 feel with sheer chiffon, lace, and bib fronts on cute tea-time dresses; the wish to reinvent revealed in precise cutouts that never went overboard.
The first set of doe-eyed models to grace the runway were in soft slip dresses in navy and beige which featured tiny slender eyelets laid out in simple graphic patterns to reveal just enough skin underneath to keep the entire look simultaneously dainty and sensual.
Continuing under this cut out route, they featured again more prominently, only this time in a cluttered confetti format against floral embroidery midway through the show on all white long and short sleeve skirt dresses and shirt dresses with high girly collars that flared out at the waist. It was a spring number we could totally see Zooey Deschanel rolling around in a grass meadow somewhere.
There were two especially high points of the collection: jackets and eveningwear. The jackets were few and far between (which probably added to their impact), but the Valentino red of one trench and the clear raincoat with nude trim added a balanced sense of cool to the overwhelmingly demure designs. With evening wear, they were strong navy, whites, and black floor-length dresses finished with intricate embroidery that miraculously didn't weigh down the otherwise fragile materials.

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions surrounding the current M16A1, M16A2, M4, M16A4NATO 5.56 round and its effectiveness on the battlefield. Now before you make a judgment as a soldier or as a firearm enthusiast (a more euphemistic way of saying "gun nut"), consider your sources. Who is it that is telling you the 5.56mm, or .223 if you prefer, is an ineffective round? Is this source an armchair general who has watched Blackhawk Down one too many times; or a Navy Corpsman…
Small Diameter Bomb – GBU-39
The GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb – the future of ultra-surgical air strikes.
Since the days of the first Gulf War, when it became clear to the world that precision air strikes would be the "go to" option for the opening rounds of nearly any theater scale military operations, the technology of precision guided munitions has increased rapidly. We have witnessed bombs being guided into their targets by lasers, GPS, and even a human watching through a camera on the nose of the weapon. Once the concept of precision guidance was no…
Russian Tank Forces – T90 Technology
The Russians desperately needed to mount a response after the 1991 Gulf War, when the Americans stormed through the deserts of Kuwait and Iraq. The Russian economy's defense sector was reeling, after the American military's Abrams M1A1 Main Battle Tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles left the battlefield littered with literally hundreds of burnt-out and charred carcasses of once mighty Russian T-72 and T-80 tanks. As if the Russians weren't already in bad enough shape after the collapse of the Soviet Union, now the international image of their largest defense export, the T-72 tank, and their newest…
US Air Force Airlift – Global US Military Aircraft
US Air Force Airlift
What does it take to be who we are in the world? To be able to strike deals massively lopsided in our favor? To make demands, threats, and/or promises of peace? Who knows, we could be your best friend, or your worst enemy. What does it take for the US be in this position?
The answer: logistical capability spawned through the thorough application of immense capital both financial and human. A large US Army on the contintinental US can't really do much across the globe unless it can get there. Of course, we can always use…
Barrett REC7 – M468 – Future Assault Rifle
Apparently, the M4 Carbine or the M16 aren't good enough for the grunts on the field. This isn't really a new revelation either. Let's face it, since day 1 of the adoption of the M16 during Vietnam, the M16 hasn't exactly been everyone's favorite assualt rifle. In fact, it has been regarded by some as a killer of US troops, leaving them stuck in firefights without effective stopping power and jammed rounds. Never fear though young GIs and military buffs, the civilian weapons manufacturing sector is listening. Barrett Firearm's answer? Let's
M4 – M4A1 Carbine – Modern Warfare
If I hark back to the days of the Wild Wild West, during the heydays of American machismo otherwise known as Manifest Destiny, I can only think of the ever popular shoot out. The quick and dead, the fast draws, the lawlessness, and the cowboys. Don't be misled about the speed of the draw though, the quickest isn't always the victor, one must be on target to be left standing alive. What a timeless lesson we've learned.
M230 Chain Gun – Apache Attack Weapon
The omnipresent adjudicator hovering over the skies of Iraq can deliver heinous death at any waking instant. You are taking a stroll down the street, plotting some terrorist attacks in your imagination, and suddenly, without ever feeling a thing, you are reduced to a full sized human splatter pattern. The reality is, only you know for sure what you were really wanting, thinking, taking, doing…better shape up for the eyes in the sky.These dealings in death, the fine line between reality and…
Carbon 15 Pistol – Bushmaster
The Carbon 15 pistol is a firearm similar in design to an ArmaLite AR-15 or the Colt M4 Carbine. The main differences between the Carbon 15 "pistol" and actual M4 is the absence of the shoulder stock and the fully automatic option. You don't really want or need full auto though, because the Carbon 15 is not designed for suppressive fire, likewise, the red dot sight fitted on the accessory rail optimizes this weapon for close quarter personal defense-ideal for confined spaces.
JASSM Cruise Missile of the Future
"We need some options on the table!" Yells a military commander sitting in the Pentagon.
"How about the option to hit them with stealth cruise missiles, sir?" Says a lowly defense analyst in the back.
"What did you say!?" Screams the general.
"Well sir, we can just have our jets launch these JASSM cruise missisles from about 230 miles out sir. No one is put at risk but them, and they cost $300,000 less than Tomohawk missiles. We'll save some money and take out the targets."
"Brilliant! Order the strikes. What
V22 Osprey – Hybrid Helicopter Aircraft of the Future
V22 Osprey
Manufacturer: Boeing [NYSE: BA]
Obviously, getting troops to the battlefield as quickly as possible is a paramount concern for military planners. Choppers can carry many troops, but really can't fly very far or fast. Planes can get troops there quickly, but where can you launch transport planes without a runway? Aircraft carriers are too small, nevermind the deck of an amphibious assault ship. Clearly, a solution is needed for high speed troop transport in

Once Upon A Time in Rio (Era Uma Vez...)
The director behind Two Sons of Francisco, Brazil's biggest box-office hit in twenty-five years, returns with this tragic love story concerning a pair of star-crossed lovers living in Rio de Janeiro's two-tiered society. Situated just above the awe-inspiring Ipanema beach in Rio is the Cantagalo slum. Every day, floods of Cantagalo residents make their way down the mountain, only to disappear into their surroundings as part of the invisible working-class that cleans apartments, works in restaurants, and sells food along the scenic, sun-drenched shores. Young Dé (Thiago Martins) is just such a man. Dé lives with his mother Bernadette (Cyria Coentro) in a cramped Cantagalo apartment, selling hot dogs on the beach in order to make the rent. His brother Beto was killed when Dé was just a young boy, and his adopted brother Carlão (Rocco Pitanga) has been jailed for a robbery that he didn't commit. One day, while working on the beach, Dé meets Nina (Vitória Frate). Nina is the only child of a successful lawyer named Evandro (Paulo César Grande), who's none to happy to discover that his daughter is dating a member of the lower class. How is it that two people who live in such close proximity to one another can seem to be from different worlds? As Dé and Nina's romance intensifies, they both begin to realize that that society is dead set against them ever achieving any measure of true happiness together.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Meredith Krebs Go to extremes and bring back pictures Now you can get Nikon image quality from a rugged camera built for adventure. The Coolpix AW100 is waterproof, freezeproof, and designed to take minor spills without batting an eye — but it also has a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor that'll give you sharp images in low light. That's handy when you're shooting close-ups of coral formations 33-feet underwater. For all your adventures off the beaten path When you're hanging from a rope on the side of a cliff, you need a camera that compensates for a shaky hand. This camera's image stabilization keeps your shots steady (even when you're not). Motion detector tracks subjects on the move and adjusts the camera's settings so they stay in focus. And if you want to map where you've been in the wilderness, the camera has a built-in GPS so you can create a travelogue of your adventures. If you prefer to make viral videos of snowboarding down the mountain, or cave diving, the camera shoots full HD movies with stereo sound. And the action control feature makes it easy to adjust specific camera settings (even when you're wearing gloves), and gives you one button to touch when you're ready to start recording.

First off, only 4 stars because I did not get to test all of the camera's options. Camping for a week at the end of December in northern Minnesota with no tents, every time I went to use the camera, it worked and the pics were very nice. Even getting to -15 degrees Pros: Worked as described. Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By RKD, Florida on Thursday, February 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After doing a lot of research on underwater cameras, we decided on the AW100. So glad we did, we got some wonderful underwater pictures and movies while on a snorkeling trip in Cozumel. Pictures taken in the caves of Belize also came out good. No problem with leaking and battery life was as good as our other point and shoot cameras. Would definately recommend this camera. Pros: Easy to use, picture to movie and back is quick and easy. Cons: Only wish the optical zoom was more but for the price it was good. Was this review helpful? Yes No Wonderful Written By Jon, UT on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Absolutely love it. Great pictures, great battery life, and arrived quickly and packed very well. Was this review helpful? Yes No Very poor performance-returned Written By Disappointed, South Carolina on Monday, January 07, 2013 I got this camera as a replacement for my previous water camera that wore out after several years of great use...it comes with great reviews so I was happy to buy it. I took it on a huge trip, a large family reunion Caribbean cruise and looked forward to taking a ton of pictures as I am an avid scrapbooker. I was disappointed almost from the get go. The battery life was TERRIBLE. I followed the directions, charged it for a day and by the 3 day of the trip, when I needed it in a water setting, it died after 47 pictures. I was left without the camera for our swim with dolphins. I recharged it overnight, and took it out again, and used it in the water the next day and once again the battery started blinking shortly into the day and then the screen died from water leakage. It finally just stopped working for most than a few pictures out of the water. I had a hard time with the flash setting as week and several pictures turned out dark. The week went on like this. I got some pictures but am so disappointed at what I missed. I returned it immediately upon returning from our trip last week. Maybe I got a lemon, but I will be buying a different one this time around! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A great "foul weather" friend! Written By B.L.Wagner, Gettysburg, PA on Sunday, December 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an ideal "all around" camera to have along for use in "foul weather" conditions such as snow or rain, or at the beach or on a boat, where one would often be hesitant to bring along an "ordinary" camera, for fear of it getting it wet & possibly ruined. No need to worry about that with this camera! Compact, easy to use & takes great photos in places one would often be leery of taking a camera along! Pros: Compact, weatherproof, freeze & shock resistant. Good picture quality ..far better than I'd expected, especially in varying light & weather conditions. Ideal for boating, "pool parties" and other places one might miss out on good photos for fear of damaging a camera not designed for withstanding the elements. Cons: I'd question it's suitability for "serious quality" underwater photography at it's rating of 33 foot depths, without external lighting ...but should be great in shallow, clear waters! It will sink like a stone if dropped in water, however the bright colored versions ..particularly the orange.. would make it pretty easy to locate in shallow water or a swimming pool. Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By Anonymous, Hawaii on Monday, November 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not only is this camera indestructible, but there are more settings than I ever hoped for in a "point-and-shoot". It also takes fool-proof panoramas and shows vivid colors, even capturing the details of street art and differentiating the blues of ocean and sky. One problem I've had in the past with digital cameras is that they don't capture depth well, especially midday. So far I have not noticed that problem with the CoolPix AW100. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon Coolpix AW100 = Great Image Quality Written By Manuel M, Toa Alta, PR on Monday, November 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recommend this camera. Besides been waterproof it takes great photos everywhere. Another important thing is that it have a CMOS sensor that helps a lot to achieve clear and sharp photos in low light. The macro capability is awesome and much better than my kit lens for the Nikon D5100 that I also own. Pros: Great image quality, great video quality, good low light performance. Cons: Lack of manual settings 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By Anonymous, Elm Grove, WI on Friday, October 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was one of most highly recommended models on Consumer Reports, which is why I purchased this particular model. Overall I have been pretty satisfied by the start up time, quality of photos, and GPS feature. It performs well, even in low light. Pros: Rugged. 5x optical zoom. High quality pictures and HD video, even in low light. GPS feature. Cons: Poor sound in video recording. Battery life could be better. No manual settings or ability to force flash on for better foreground fill in harsh lighting conditions. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Canon AW100 - Great Purchase! Written By FGL, Indiana on Sunday, July 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Read reviews before purchasing and had reservations about the underwater leaking reports. I was going to Hawaii for a week and really wanted to use underwater. Well, I am glad I purchased it. The underwater shots were great! No leaking. I took photos in the Pacific, took photos in the pool. Very pleased with quality. I also used the standard point and shoot. Great pictures using the auto feature. I used the HD video for Ziplining shots. They came out perfect. I would highly recommend this camera for the cost. No it's not an SLR, but it's under $300, so a great buy. The camera strap was the only issue (if I had to come up with any issues). Just confusing and not good quality. I didn't use the GPS function, so can't really include any comments. Pros: Waterproof. Ease of use. High quality. Cons: Night photos take some adjusting of settings. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great camera!! Written By JessicaH, Southaven, MS on Thursday, July 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This camera is outstanding! I had been looking to buy it for months and I did a lot of research and read countless reviews, all of which were right! The overall image quality is great for a outdoor/action camera and the waterproof and shockproof features are spot on. I would definitely recommend buying this camera if you are thinking about it. Pros: *Focuses quickly *Takes great pictures *Great buy for your money Cons: This is not a camera for professional-quality photos, but then again, that's not what it is advertised for! 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Test well before trip! Written By Traveller, Northport, AL on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First, I travel the world, take tons of pics and all for entertainment and a little work. I have had Nikon products for years and have always been satisfied. This camera could possibly be a great pocket point and shoot as a stand in for my bigger DSLR. Especially since my DSLR for some reason wont work while snorkeling! :-) I bought this camera for a snorkeling/adventure trip to Belize with my wife. We wanted to take some shallow underwater photos while there and this seemed to be the perfect fit. All the reviews said mostly the same thing. Either a really cool camera or as ours proved to be a fogger and a dud! We were able to take about a 100 photos but I knew we were in trouble when we went from a cool room to the humid outdoors and got condensation in the lense and a hazy film in the view screen. Not even in the water yet. Our first snorkel trip was max 8 feet of water and the photos were "ok". We boarded, went to another spot and plunged into 6 feet of water and within 30 seconds the camera died. I took it back, took the battery and SD card out, they were dry. I recharged the battery and waited over 24hrs. Put battery back in hit the "ON" button and... nothing! Just died. So I finished the trip with my iphone snapping less than desirable pics as my Coolpix AW100 sat in a safe in the condo for the next 7 days. So, I get home give Crutchfield Support a call and Dean gives me two options: 1. Refund 2. Swap and try again. I chose the swap for another go. Pros: Many Cons: I figure you have about a 70% chance of getting a good one. Lady on the boat with us had one she swore by, while ours, we swore at! 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Backpack Perfection Written By AC, Richmond, Va on Monday, July 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My wife and I have a nice Nikon DSLR but have a hard time bringing it on backpacking / camping trips. It is either too big to fit in the pack or we are going where it might get wet. I was looking for a great waterproof point and shoot that still took excellent pictures, which is why I settled on the Nikon AW100. It is rugged and lightweight, and is capable of taking some breathtaking pictures! I love the ease of one handed operation. I can zoom and shoot quickly and easily. The panorama setting is extremely useful and can do 180 and 360 degree shots. You can also watch them later like a movie, which is pretty excellent! I also appreciate that it looks like a regular camera and that it is not too "EXTREME" looking. Some of the other cameras in this category are really stylized and wild in their design. Simplicity is a virtue here! From hiking to the top of some of Virginia's highest peaks with ease, to tubing down the lazy James, to jumping from the rocks into deep mountain swimming holes, this camera has been there every step of the way (the GPS feature can record these steps as well) and has been a real blast to own! Pros: Easy to use and takes great pictures. Waterproof, durable, and not too flashy. Pano and GPS features are really nice. Battery life is excellent. Great camera! Cons: Should come with a wrist strap with or instead of the neck strap. Also, I recommend buying a faster flash card. A slower speed card will record photo and video more slowly when the camera is cold. I tried a faster card in really cold water and it worked like a champ. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By ChrisM, Yorba Linda, CA on Friday, June 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic photo & video quality and I am completely satisfied. If I use 50% of the capability of the camera I would be shocked. You must read the instruction manual to figure out all the little things you can do. I recommend this camera to anyone at this price point. The panoramic pictures are so easy to take and look fantastic. Pros: Simple to use, easy to download and the quality is fantastic. Cons: I wish the software that came with the camera was easier to use and had more editing capability. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By Anonymous, St. Louis, MO on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I enjoy the multiple settings. Action shots are awesome. I recently went to a fireworks show and took some wonderful pictures with it. I have not tried the underwater settings yet. Battery life is a lot longer than most other models. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikkon AW100 Written By Anthony A, Easton,PA on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great camera for taking out in the rain,or taking pictures in the backyard pool. Have used in both environments. Totally happy with the Nikkon AW100 Pros: Easy to operate, rechargable batt, compact size. 4 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great camera Written By Dusty B, Sonora, CA on Thursday, April 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) this camera is awsome takes great pictures so far focus is great and its easy to use i havent taken it into water yet but i will!!! 3 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great for all-around use. Written By KenB, Torrance, CA on Friday, October 07, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this camera because I was looking for a tough all purpose waterproof camera that I could take with me on "active" vacations. My first trip was on a houseboat. The camera worked flawlessly in the water and out. The photos are sharp. The controls are well placed and easy to use. And the lens range is wide enough for interior photos and long enough for general outdoor use. The camera is rugged so it doesn't need to be "babied". A couple of features I would have liked to have had included were; an automatic opening/closing lens cap. A wrist strap, as I find the included neck strap to be almost useless for a camera this size (small). Also, I wish the zoom function were a slide under the shutter release (as on some other cameras) instead of a toggle on the back. That would make it easier to use one handed. And a BIG NOTE to everyone. This camera DOES NOT FLOAT. I recommend that the first accessory you purchase (if you're going to use this camera around water) is a floating wrist strap. Pros: Reasonably small and lightweight. Rugged design. Easy to use controls and settings. Large display. Good/sharp lens with usable zoom range Good battery life. Cons: No lens cover. Display not so easy to view in very bright sunlight Zoom function on back of camera instead of on top with shutter release. Camera does not float. No wrist strap. 100 out of 107 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hands-on research Features and specs chart | What's in the box? | In-depth notes What's in the box?

Action Control: The Action Control feature lets you easily adjust specific camera settings, even with gloves on. The Action Control button, which activates the feature, is conveniently located on the left side of the camera. You can perform the functions by shaking the camera with your wrist in a single up/down or forward/backward stroke.

During shooting, GPS data is displayed in the monitor, including the current location by place name or its coordinates. The built-in GPS can track your progress with the included Nikon View NX2 software, or such online sites as Nikon's mypicturetown.com photo sharing site or Google Earth. The camera also has an electronic compass to help show you the way. Note: Because GPS data is received from overhead satellites, you must be in an outdoor location with relatively few obstructions in order for the GPS to work properly. 3" LCD Monitor: The Coolpix AW100 has a 3" TFT LCD monitor featuring approximately 460,000 dots, an anti-reflective coating and a five-level brightness adjustment. The LCD monitor has approximately 98% horizontal and vertical coverage in the shooting mode and approximately 100% in playback mode. There is no separate viewfinder on the camera. Image Sensor: The Coolpix AW100 features a 1/2.3", high-density CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 16.79-million pixels. The effective pixel count is 16.0-million. Optics: The Coolpix AW100 digital camera uses a Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens for superb image quality. Every aspect of the lens manufacturing process is controlled by Nikon. The Zoom-Nikkor ED lens is designed for the specific camera and image sensor combination. The Coolpix AW100 uses a 5x wide-angle optical zoom lens, that is equivalent to a 28-140mm lens in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 4x digital zoom, the camera's total zoom capability is 20x. The angle of view is equivalent to that of approximately 560mm lens (35mm format). Filter Adapter: The camera includes a snap-on Filter Adapter that attaches over the lens of the camera. The Filter Adapter allows you to attach a commercially-available 40.5mm filter, such as a polarizing filter or color filter. The Filter Adapter includes a cord for attaching it to the camera for storage. 4-Way VR (Vibration Reduction) Stabilization: The Nikon Coolpix AW100 offers a 4-Way Vibration Reduction (VR) Stabilization System: Hybrid VR Image Stabilization: Nikon's Hybrid VR Image Stabilization uses a combination of optical (lens shift) and electronic vibration reduction to compensate for the effects of camera shake. This produces clearer, sharper results in lower lighting or unsteady conditions. Motion Detection: Motion Detection automatically detects moving subjects and adjusts the shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement. High ISO 3200: High ISO up to 3200 capability gives you sharper results when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. This creates new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking photos in lower light conditions. Best Shot Selector (BSS): Nikon's Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically takes up to 10 shots while the shutter is pressed and then saves the sharpest image. File Formats: The Coolpix AW100 records still images in JPEG format. HD and SD movies are recorded in MOV format (Video: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, Audio: AAC stereo). You have a choice of nine still image size options and five movie options (see chart below). Built-in Memory: The camera has a built-in 83 MB internal memory for storing still images and movies with sound. Recording Media: In addition to the built-in memory, images can be recorded onto SD, SDHC, or SDXC Memory cards. When an SD Memory card is inserted in the camera, the images are automatically recorded onto the card. When no card is inserted, the images automatically record to the internal memory. The camera can support 2 GB SD cards, SDHC cards from 4 GB to 32 GB, and SDXC cards over 32GB. The capacity of the internal memory and optional memory cards is as follows: Image Size/ Resolution Image Quality (Compression Ratio) Number of Storable Images (approx.)

Nelson Larkin, the publisher, songwriter and producer who produced top-charting country hits for Earl Thomas Conley including "Fire & Smoke," "I Can't Win For Losin' You," "Right From The Start" and "Love Out Loud," died Monday at his Brentwood home. He was 70.
Mr. Larkin also produced works for Toby Keith, Neal McCoy, Johnny Rodriguez, Billy Joe Royal and others, and co-wrote the Tracy Lawrence hit "Somebody Paints the Wall" and Top 5 Royal singles "I'll Pin a Note on Your Pillow" and "Love Has No Right."
In 1974, Mr. Larkin signed Conley to his publishing house and arranged a record deal with independent label GRT. That deal produced no hits, and neither did a subsequent deal with Warner Bros., but Mr. Larkin signed Conley to his own Sunbird label and in 1981, "Fire & Smoke" topped country charts. Soon, RCA purchased the rights to Conley's recordings on Sunbird, and, with Mr. Larkin at the production helm, Conley embarked on a successful run that found him ranked as the 10th most popular country artist of the 1980s, according to "Billboard" magazine.
Mr. Larkin produced 18 Top 10 hits for Conley in the 1980, including 16 No. 1 smashes. His productions typically set Conley's soulful voice to prominent acoustic guitars and modern flourishes of keyboards and processed snare drums. Blake Shelton, the CMA's top male vocalist for four consecutive years, considers Conley's 1980s output to be a primary influence.
In 1989, Mr. Larkin helped launch the Nashville wing of Atlantic Records and worked to bolster the careers of Tracy Lawrence, John Michael Montgomery and others.
Mr. Larkin's memorial service will be Thursday, Nov. 21, at 3 p.m. at Brentwood United Methodist Church, 309 Franklin Road, in Brentwood. Visitation begins at the church at 1 p.m.

Las Vegas Sizzles This Summer!
Summer means vacation, and no place on earth offers more than Las Vegas. Where else are you going to get performers like dance-music hitmakers Ke$ha and Beyoncé, legendary rock group Journey and rapper Lil Wayne - plus the opening of the largest gay entertainment complex in the country?
When it opens June 15, the aptly named Krave Massive will offer gay visitors the biggest, sexiest, most-comprehensive gay venue anywhere. The 80,000-square-feet venue will immediately take its place as the largest gay nightclub in the world.
The complex will include five - count 'em, five - themed dance floors, three bars plus a martini lounge, a VIP lounge, a comedy club, performing arts space, gift shop, girls-only dance space and a cinema. And it's all gay, all the time.
Partnering with Caesars Entertainment for specific ticket, hotel and transportation packages, the owners of Krave really do want to be something for everyone. The dance clubs will be themed for hip-hop, Latin, Top 40 and Country. There will be 3D effects, with patrons receiving 3D glasses for a mind-blowing experience. The venue even offers an in-house "Boy Hunter," who will wander around the VIP area taking matchmaking information on an iPad.
Now that's full service!
Gay Nightlife in a 24-Hour Town
Krave is only the beginning of gay nightlife in this 24-hour town. The Affair Nightclub, a multi-level 25,000-square-foot venue, offers a gay-dedicated mega-club right on the Las Vegas Strip. Every Sunday, guests will experience a night of brilliant chaos from state-of-the-art interactive elements, hot go-go dancers and live performances. The club is open Saturdays as well, both nights until 4 a.m.
Sunday is hardly the day of rest in Vegas. The Mirage goes gay for Revo Sundays at The Beatles Revolution Lounge. The hottest guys will be dancing to the driving beats of DJ Brett Rubin, along with headlining (or head-spinning) entertainment. Kaskade presents Summer Lovin every Sunday through Sept 1 at Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan and this year marks the 10th anniversary of REHAB at the Hard Rock Hotel. Every Sunday, go into REHAB all over again!
Before all that hard partying, relax during the city's original and longest-running LGBT pool party. Entering its fifth season, Temptation Sundays at Luxor is the perfect way to work on your tan while working a hot crowd packed into speedos.
Hosted by J.Son, Temptation Sundays provides a chance to play in the water or just show off your best assets (take that any way you want). Those in the know book a cabana or daybed beforehand by calling 702-730-5730 weekdays.
There will be plenty to do the rest of the week. Every Wednesday, Bond at The Cosmopolitan hosts Confidential where you can sample handcrafted martinis while ogling the crowd.
If you want to experience some of the best DJs on the planet, you can't do better than the Electric Daisy Carnival. Insomniac's 17th Annual EDC returns to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway June 21-23. This iconic festival, which helped solidify electronica's dominance on the dance floor, fills the 1,500-acre speedway with musical acts, DJs and theatrical performances, along with thousands and thousands of fans.
The roster includes the biggest names in electronica, such as Armin Van Buuren, Calvin Harris, Tiësto, Above & Beyond, Avicii, and many, many more - more than 500, in fact.
More Partying by the Pool
If you want to go above it all, check out the views and the action at The Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. This multi-level rooftop offers an unobstructed view of the world-famous neon-lit Las Vegas Strip.
The "Set Your Life to Music" concert series, through Oct. 24, is an all-encompassing backyard barbecue experience that only Vegas can deliver. DJ Mike Attack spins in the early evening until specialty acts take the stage after sunset. Late summer line-up includes Elan Atias (July 18), Gary Clark, Jr. (Aug. 8) and Blink-182 (Sep. 19), among others.
Hankering for the beach? You don't have to deal with the traffic and hassle of getting to prime ocean resorts. Las Vegas has one of its own!
Only at "The Beach Concert Series" at Mandalay Bay Beach can concertgoers lounge in the sand or wade into the surf while experiencing some of the biggest chart-toppers, such as Smash Mouth and Vertical Horizon on July 6, and Sublime with Rome on Aug. 17.
Dance-music and gay fave Ke$ha will be performing with Pitbull on June 15 at the 12,000-seat Mandalay Bay Events Center. One Direction plays Aug. 2 and 3, and country giant Brad Paisley Aug. 31. Also at Mandalay Bay, Fall Out Boy will be playing the legendary House of Blues Music Hall on June 15, among many other notable acts this summer.
If you want to party by the water, you can head to SOUNDWAVES at Hard Rock Hotel's Paradise Beach. Here, music aficionados can enjoy their favorite bands while basking in the sunshine with a hot crowd and cool drinks. The outdoor stage will heat up with performances from Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley and Stephen "Ragga" Marley on June 28.
The old MGM Studio used to brag about having "more stars than there are in heaven," but you can dance to one of the world's biggest DJs, super-remixer/producer Calvin Harris, who has a summer residency at WET REPUBLIC events at MGM Grand.
The Mandalay Bay's DAYLIGHT Beach Club is a massive pool club, which can accommodate 5,000 people and brings the mega-club experience to the pool party concept. The 4,400-square-foot pool has three decks. On the stage, six huge LED screens reproduce the light effects of clubs in New York, South Beach, Ibiza - or Vegas!
You'll find another jaw-dropping combination of mega-club and swimming pool at XS, a nightclub at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas that surrounds a pool. On Sundays at Nightswim, dance to a state-of-the-art sound and light system in your speedos, then dip into the pool. Then do it all over again.

Top Ten Schwarzenegger Post Murder One-Liners
It's never been enough for Arnold Schwarzenegger to take your life: he has to take your dignity as well. Acknowledging a good fight or saluting a fallen foe is not his style. What IS his style is murdering you then making a joke about you so everyone still alive knows you were rubbish. Presumably it's only the fact there are more – oh so very many more – people out there that he needs to kill that prevents his movies from showing scenes where he turns up at his victims funerals to deliver an eulogy that's basically "mess with the best, die like the rest" before pissing on the coffin. Fortunately, in the limited time he has between actual killing, he's managed to fit in the following classic murder insults.
10. Predator: "Stick around".
Predator is actually a really good and relatively serious Schwarzenegger film that keeps to cornball antics to a minimum, but when Arnold and his squad ("we're a rescue team, not assassins," as he describes them minutes before they gun down an entire Central American army base) are on the job, you can't seriously expect the great man not to crack a joke after impaling some guy to a tree with a well-flung machete.
9. Eraser: "You're luggage".
Okay, not a great line (and definitely not a great film), but keep this in mind: Arnold says it to an alligator. It's like he has some kind of psychological disorder really. There's still time for him to make a film featuring a scene where he puts a slice of bread under a griller and says "you're toast".
8. The Running Man: "He had to split".
Now this is more like it. The Running Man is little more than a collection of murders held together by bad jokes, so it's only until you think about it afterwards that the true horror hits you: you've been cheering on a "hero" who can slice a man named Buzzsaw in half with his own chainsaw then calmly tell his gal sidekick "he had to split".
