Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dave Bar The soul of an SLR in the body of a point-and-shoot Looking for a camera with gorgeous picture quality and flexible controls, but less bulk and cost than a high-end SLR? Check out Panasonic's pint-sized DMC-GF2K. This camera snaps beautiful, silky smooth photos and records crisp HD video, thanks to a high-quality image sensor that's larger than those found in most point-and-shoot models. Yet, the 'GF2 sports a sleek, compact body that's easier to carry along on a sightseeing tour or a mountain hike. An intuitive, 3" touchscreen LCD makes it as easy to use as it is to carry. To 3D or not to 3D? Are you thinking you may want to try 3D photography in the future, but aren't sure about it now? The 'GF2 has you covered. Just add Panasonic's optional 3D conversion lens and you can start shooting dramatic-looking 3D photos. How is this possible? The additional lens actually contains two sets of optical elements that simultaneously record left and right images, which are then stored on the camera's memory card. All you have to do is hook the cam up to your compatible 3D HDTV, put on your 3D glasses, and enjoy the slide show!

Try a mirrorless camera. These digital cameras combine the creative options of a DSLR with portability that's more like that of a point-and-shoot. Their automatic modes will help you take striking pictures from day one without having to be an expert. However, like DSLRs, mirrorless cameras have interchangeable lenses, and advanced control and processing. You can explore these features for even better results as you take time to learn more about the hobby. Cameras in this class have large image sensors for beautifully detailed pictures, but their mirrorless design means the camera bodies and matching lenses can be smaller, lighter, and more portable great for snapping memorable pics when you're on the move.

Pros: Great mirrorless interchangeable camera. Very compact, has a hot shoe mount, I can bounce flash up, quick focusing, stereo mic, 1080 resolution and a sensor much bigger than any point and shoot and also shoots in raw. Cons: Not enough options for movie mode. I wish it had an aps-c sized sensor like the Sony NEX systems. Was this review helpful?

When used with the optional interchangeable lenses, you get approximately 300-320 images, using the 3.0" LCD monitor. Playback time using the LCD monitor is approximately 240-250 minutes. Recording and playback times vary according to which lens is mounted on the camera. The battery takes approximately 120 minutes to fully charge with the supplied DE-A93B battery charger. LCD Touch Panel Monitor: The DMC-GF2 has a 3" TFT color LCD Touch Panel monitor featuring approximately 460,000 dots. It has approximately 100% field of view. The monitor's brightness and color can be adjusted to any of 7 levels. The touch panel allows you to easily operate the camera, including setting the focus or releasing the shutter. Optional External Viewfinder: An optional external live viewfinder (DMW-LVF1, sold separately) attaches to the camera's hot shoe and allows you to hold the camera up to your eye to frame your subject as you record. The LVF1 has a 0° to 90° adjustable angle so you can view the subject even when shooting at a low camera angle. A built-in diopter allows you to adjust the focus of the viewfinder to suit your vision. Because the LVF1 uses the hot shoe, you cannot use the external viewfinder with an external flash. Pop-up Flash: The GF2 has a pop-up flash that increases the overall height of the camera by approximately 1" when open. The flash range varies depending upon the lens that is attached. Available flash modes include: Auto: The flash is automatically activated when the recording conditions make it necessary. Auto/Red-eye Reduction: A pre-flash is activated before the main flash to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. Forced Flash On: The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording conditions. Forced Flash On/Red-eye Reduction: The flash is activated every time with a pre-flash to reduce red-eye effect. Slow Sync: When taking pictures against a dark background landscape, this feature will slow the shutter speed when the flash is activated to make the background appear brighter. Slow Sync/Red-eye Reduction: Same as Slow Sync, but with pre-flash to reduce red-eye effect. Forced Flash Off: Flash is not activated regardless of the recording conditions. Shooting Modes: The top-mounted mode dial allows you to choose from the following camera modes: Program AE: the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and the aperture value according to the brightness of the subject Aperture-priority AE: the shutter speed is automatically determined by the aperture value you set Shutter-priority AE: the aperture value is automatically determined by the shutter speed you set Manual Exposure: the exposure is adjusted by the aperture value and the shutter speed, which are manually adjusted Intelligent Auto Mode: the camera will set the most appropriate settings to match the subject and recording conditions.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I think you should consider 803.07(C). I have never really known what the rule authors meant by "consciously" in that rule, but you weren't unconcious or in a fugue state, presumably.
But don't quit playing league over a stupid mistake, especially if that player does not think it affected his score any. Most leagues play by relaxed PDGA rules anyway.

Yeah, I'm not going to quit playing.
The whole thing about "conscious" might refer to intent. If it was a mistake and you didn't realize what you were doing (which is pretty much what happened to me at the end of a long hot round), then I'm not sure if that interpretation would apply. Not sure if intent is inferred in this case. Also, nobody observed me picking up the disc. If they had they probably would have just yelled at me and told me to put it back.
Also, doubles rules are a bit harder to come by since the rules are really written to apply to singles play. In any event he did get his birdie from the lie that he played. So there was no interference with that disc.
I do hope that my friend shows up for Sunday's doubles as I will have a cold adult beverage waiting for him. Then he can also call me as many names as he wants and hopefully we will all have a good laugh.
Chuck Kennedy, you are welcome to chime in with any of your words of wisdom for this strange situation.
I believe this is where a variant of the Lost Disc rule comes into play 803.11C related to doubles. Imagine if the doubles format was Tough or Worst Shot where the Cali player had to use their worst drive. The second disc would have been lost and the Cali player would have to rethrow with penalty. Then, the Cali player's disc was found to have been picked up by you. The Cali player gets a 2-shot penalty removed. Then, as Bruce indicates, you get a 2-throw penalty for Interference. When we did the Rules School article on Interference, the only time a player does not get the penalty for "conscious" interference upon touching another player's disc in play is when they deflect a flying disc so they or others are not hit by it (i.e. reflexive interference). So, even though the Cali player didn't have to use his second disc that was "lost" potentially resulting in a penalty, you picked up his disc in play creating the lost disc.
Just wanted to point out a minor detail in the story that I haven't seen anyone else mention. I was playing doubles this week as a 3some, myself, my partner, and the other guy was Cali. And I always thought Cali gets 2 shots per lie, but when I was playing the Cali only got to use his second shot once per hole. Kentucky is what you call someone who can shoot 2 shots from the same lie. So if these rules are universal, the guy shouldn't be shooting twice on each lie anyway, and the entire story would have been avoided!
Cali can be played either way. If the player pays one entry fee, he gets one extra throw per hole. If he pays two entry fees as in this story, he gets two throws per lie. The TD decides whether the player is allowed to pay two entry fees but most do not allow that option unless the Cali player is middle of the pack ratingwise among the people playing.
Our group of players is pretty good and everyone is really close to be on the same level of playing ability. Some days our group can exceed 12 or more players, and when it gets above 5, we random flip and play doubles. We have played odd man out using the Cali rule since I can remember, and I hate it. Most of the courses we play are long, so there really is an advantage to having 2 shots per lie for the doubles guys, but the odd man out gets screwed. I guess because I am such a whiner they allow me, if I'm the odd man out, to flip one more time to see if I play Cali rules that day or if I get 2 shots per lie.
If I get 2 shots per lie, I usually win, but it's still competetive. If I am stuck under Cali rules for the round, it's a guaranteed loss. I don't know of another cool sounding format to refer to for the guys to sound off on.
However Chuck, you are in fact omitting one key fact here as it relates to that rule, that in order for a penalty to be called the interference needs to be observed by two members of the group. It indeed was not and in fact was only discovered after the round and payouts had already been made. In any case there was no affecting the eventual scores since the player whose disc went "missing" did make his birdie putt on that hole. The only thing that was lost was about five minutes of time for searching for a disc that was in fact in my bag.
In any case, the eventual outcome was indeed correct and there was no penalty assessed (which is also the correct outcome for this particular case).
According to your story, the event was not officially over since you stated they were still completing their playoff when you discovered it and went to return the disc. In the case where a lost disc would affect the scores, your revelation that you had the disc would have been a de facto recognition of the Interference penalty by the TD (official). I'm saying your penalty should have been the same regardless of the fact it didn't affect the scores, simply due to the format, not the reality of the interference.
I'm sorry Chuck, but there is no provision for any penalty after the fact in the rules. Are you saying that we should create new and different rules for this occasion only? And also the playoff was only for second and third places (only second got money back). Furthermore, my partner had already left with his winnings.
Even a de facto recognition of interference after the fact is simply not covered by that rule. The interference must be observed according to the rules.
Please take a look at 804.03G(1).
If this is not upheld, then players would simply be able to take player's discs during a round as long as they're not seen and return them after the round with no penalty.
I'm still having a bit of a hard time with the whole "being observed" thing as the rule is currently written. Would being observed refer to occurring at the time of the violation or could it also mean being observed after the fact. That is not totally clear here.
Indeed this is an interesting case and maybe the rules need to be more specific about such an instance.
In our case also we are just playing league so there is no TD per se. All that I do is take money and that is about it (besides calling the street as OB). We are pretty much an informal tournament in the end. I do understand the need for clear and concise rules in a PDGA tournament.
Also, unfortunately it seems that there would no penalty for taking a fellow competitor's disc and returning it after the tournament has completed and all awards have been given out. I could see some sort of PDGA reprimand if that happened but no penalty for that particular tournament. But then you could ask why a player would even bother to return a disc if he went to all of the trouble to steal another player's disc during a tournament. Of course, we are just getting into hypotheticals here and none of this really applies to what happened in my case.
I believe the only penalties that cannot be assessed at any time until the event is over are the ones involving a time limit like 3 seconds for foot fault, 30 seconds for making the next throw or 3 minutes for lost disc.
I would agree, but the rules specifically state that for this particular penalty to be assessed it has to be observed. That is where I would have a problem with assessing it at a later time. TD did not observe it, players did not observe it and it was not assessed. And of course we don't really have a TD.
If you are concerned about this particular rule and the possibility of someone stealing others disc on purpose then maybe the rules need to be more specific. Otherwise why is the "being observed" part of it in there. My interpretation (which I know you have a hard time with) is that if it is not observed then there can be no penalty. If the whole being observed thing refers to an admission of guilt after the fact then that would change things, but I don't see that in the rules at the moment.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Iwant to start a disc review forum. The idea is that you post one disc that you have not tried, and would like to know about. I would suggest asking about less used discs (So not buzzz, roc, etc.) You post the one disc, and the direct replies to the disc will be reviews, or what you might compare it too.
I will start the first one. Hopefully this will help expand peoples knowledge outside of the regulars of disc golf.

Our local Dicks Sporting Goods had an over abundance of Groove's in stock last year. So, I happen to know quite a few Disc Golfers, including my son, who own this disc. I have yet to encounter one that likes it at all.
The Groove has a channel in the rim like a Monarch. However, with the wide rim it is difficult for me to get a confortable grip. Might be a good disc if you have both large hands and a strong throwing arm. I feel that the Destroyer, and/or Boss would be a better choice then the Groove.

One fall day in Guthrie, Okla., Glenda Porter was preparing to call her younger sister to wish her a happy birthday. But before she could dial the number, her phone rang. It was Angie, the wife of her son, Sgt. Rusty Dunagan, who was deployed to an undisclosed location in southwest Asia.
"She asked me if I was sitting down, and I just started crying," Glenda, 55, tells The Unknown Soldiers. "I said, 'Just tell me he's alive."
This is the call that she, and every military mom with a son or daughter overseas, dreads beyond imagination.
While the most visible effects of spring are plants that are blooming, especially the colorful ones, plants arenŌĆÖt the only the things that increase their activity levels as the weather moderates and the days get longer.
Since all animals in some way or another depend on the life cycles and activities of plants for food, when plants become more active, so do the animals that depend on them for food and/or shelter.
IŌĆÖve always loved dogs, but have taken them for granted. No matter how annoying they can be, I believe God game them to us as companions and protectors. You donŌĆÖt know how much you depend on and love your animal until you lose it. We had a beautiful Australian shepherd ŌĆō Sandy - the first dog we raised as a family until August of 2010. In fact, we lost her on the kidsŌĆÖ first day of school. She was run over just a couple of hours after we took our kids to school.
There is no sense trying to anticipate what gas prices will be tomorrow ŌĆō they seem to be rising so rapidly that no one can keep up with them. Some economists are speculating that, by the end of the year, most households will have spent 25% more than they did last year, simply due to the cost of gasoline for their cars. Unfortunately, their income will not have risen by that amount, so American debt is poised to rise again.
Dear Editor,
If you were to gauge St. PatrickŌĆÖs Day by what you mostly see, then it is a holiday when you wear green and drink a lot of beer. Unfortunately this is not what this holiday truly means to many of us. I do appreciate people of all cultures joining the Irish on this day, but to those of us who truly have roots from the Emerald Isle, the holiday means much more.
Moments after making the most difficult decision of her life, Crissie Carpenter thought she heard her husband's voice, softly whispering in her ear.
"It is what it is," he said.
A simple saying, it was also Lance Cpl. Andrew Carpenter's favorite. And it gave comfort to his wife, eight months pregnant, as she made the crushing choice to remove him from life support from roughly 4,500 miles away, unable to fly to Germany with her due date so near.
Something that I do a fair amount of is deal with what I call ŌĆ£sick treesŌĆØ. Since IŌĆÖm somebody that spends a lot of time learning about tree biology, mechanics, and needs, I find these calls to be some of my more interesting work.
Usually when someone wants me to look at a tree from a health perspective, it is because they have either noticed something unusual on or near the plant, or the tree just generally looks bad.
To the Editor,
I just spent my Friday afternoon at the Round-up activities and something that happened to me for the first time ever has outraged me. That being I had to pay to park. I am a tax paying citizen of Sweetwater/Nolan County. Why do we as locals have to pay to park on our city and county properties to enjoy the Round-up activities? There is something wrong with that picture in my book. I was planning on returning on Saturday as well, but you can bet that I won't be since I will have to pay to park, unless I choose to park as far away as the high school area.
ŌĆ£A nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten,ŌĆØ actor Gary Sinise, quoting President Calvin Coolidge, recently wrote to U.S. troops in a poignant letter. ŌĆ£I hope these ŌĆśLetters from HollywoodŌĆÖ will help to let you know that your nation has not forgotten.ŌĆØ
Sinise, of course, is instantly recognizable around the world for his unforgettable portrayal of Lt. Dan in ŌĆ£Forrest Gump.ŌĆØ He is also one of AmericaŌĆÖs most determined supporters of our armed forces, as his fine work with the USO demonstrates.

- Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4/fan 160C. Oil and line the base and sides of an 18cm square cake tin with baking parchment. The easiest way to do this is to cut two long strips the width of the tin and put each strip crossways, covering the base and sides of the tin, with a double layer in the base.
- Tip the sugar into a large mixing bowl, pour in the oil and add the eggs. Lightly mix with a wooden spoon. Stir in the grated carrots, raisins and orange rind.
- Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices, then sift into the bowl. Lightly mix all the ingredients – when everything is evenly amalgamated stop mixing. The mixture will be fairly soft and almost runny.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 40- 45 minutes, until it feels firm and springy when you press it in the centre. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn it out, peel off the paper and cool on a wire rack. (You can freeze the cake at this point.)
- Beat together the frosting ingredients in a small bowl until smooth – you want the icing about as runny as single cream. Set the cake on a serving plate and boldly drizzle the icing back and forth in diagonal lines over the top, letting it drip down the sides.

Comments, questions and tips
I tried this recipe yesterday for the first time, I dropped the baking time to 30 minutes, and made muffins as opposed to a cake (as suggested by previous reviewer) , I smothered them in a thick cream cheese icing, then finished with toasted ground walnuts, they turned out beautifully moist and suprisingly delicate. I shall certainly use this recipe again, probably sooner than I think as yesterday's batch was for work colleagues, right now left with 3 outta 12, ops!
This is such a lovely recipe. I didn't have any oranges or light muscovado sugar , so I used half demerara and golden granulated, and reduced it by about 15 grams. Turned out great. It took longer to cook about 50 minutes and I would say 140 Grams of carrots is less that 3 , but I added 3 anyway. And I used runny cream cheese icing. All in all yum yum. Could have reduced the sugar more as it was definitely still sweet even after I'd reduced it and orange flavour would have added more depth. Will make again soon.....
Love this carrot cake recipe. Have made it with orange but no nutmeg and with nutmeg and no orange and both were delicious. I know some people have suggested reducing the amount of oil but I've found the full 175ml is needed. I don't particularly like raisins so use sultanas and at this time of year add the ones that have been soaking in brandy and orange juice for the Xmas cake and pud. This recipe also works really well as individual cupcakes. I cook mine in muffin cases for about 30 mins - I would suggest you make double quantities as they go in a flash.
I think I have reviewed this in the past but I made it again today in a 20cm x 20cm square cake time and it turned out lovely. I made the cream cheese frosting from another carrot cake recipe on this website, and it works really well with the carrot cake. It was quite tiring grating carrots though! Will be my go-to carrot cake recipe...
Used this recipe for my first go at baking carrot cake and was very pleased with how easy the method was and how good it tasted!! After reading previous comments I reduced oil to 150ml and can understand how using more would have made it too greasy...will always use 150ml from now on. I also decided to half the amount of ingredients for the icing as couldn't see why it would need that much on top - half the amount was more than enough in my opinion! :)
Delicious! Like others suggested, I reduced the amount of oil to 150ml (used Pura organic sunflower oil) and for topping, 100g of icing sugar mixed with 3 tbsp of orange juice. I used 150g carrot pulp from juicer, no raisins as we don't like them and that was it! I may add some nuts next time. Really simple to make and top marks for taste
I have just made this, light and delicious and less calorific than standard carrot cake recipes especially minus the cream cheese frosting. I didn't have any nutmeg so I substituted ground ginger and I didn't have light brown sugar so used a dark brown muscovado and out came the most divine ginger cake ever.
Loved this recipe! I made it for my son's 11th Birthday. It was the first time I'd made carrot cake, it was so easy and tasted lovely. Got so many comments about how great it was. After reading other comments, I must admit that I didn't use the frosting recommend and used a different one that is used in the 'carrot cake with cinnamon frosting'. This worked really well.

When you're dealing with Everest-like peaks of stress, we all know the first thing to fall by the wayside are your surroundings — most notably your desk. For some, this means lookbooks cluttering the floor, busted pens leaking ink on important docs, and a pile of scribbled-on Post-it notes that resemble a scene from A Beautiful Mind. And, with daily deadlines and, well, just life, when do busy folks have time to clean up their desks? Try never!
That's exactly why we drafted Heather Lipner, a trend expert from intuitive e-commerce site Uncovet, to lend an haute helping hand to some of the town's chicest (and busiest) publishing-industry gals. Lipner managed to whip these L.A. workspaces into serious shape, no matter how varied the subject's preferred style or needs. See the office alchemy in action in this bold before-and-after series, and get a serious load of administrative inspiration for your own life.

Institutionalized communication and systemic burnout
The End of Society, Part 17
by Hector Qirko
Every two or three hours, the same call. A poorly automated male voice informs me that "they" are Chase Manhattan's fraud department, and would like to speak with (my girlfriend). Press any key to continue. Then, if I am my girlfriend, please press 1; if not, please press 2.
After hanging up the first couple of times, I figure out what this is about. My girlfriend is in Romania finishing some archaeological fieldwork, and no doubt has used her credit card. Chase probably flags Eastern European transactions, given the many scams coming out of the region these days (ah freedom), and is calling to verify the purchases. No problem: I'll tell them she actually is in Romania, and no fraud likely.
So I press 2. But this only leads to a rather disquieting request from the automaton to "please ask your girlfriend to contact us." That won't work. The next time they call I try pressing 1: Yes, I am my girlfriend. But now I'm asked to provide account information I don't have, so that doesn't work either. And the old zero option trick isn't available. There's no way to talk to a human from here.
Fine, she can take care of it when she gets back. But Chase keeps calling, over and over, same voice, same greeting. Then I get one at eight in the morning, and that's enough. I work late hours. I call the number directly and, after a few maneuvers, finally reach a person. Hello, my girlfriend's in Romania, back in a few days, I'm sure everything's fine, but even if it's not you'll have to wait, as she's digging a hole in the ground in the middle of nowhere and can't be reached at the moment.
But of course this too fails. As we all know, customer service representatives, or whatever they presently call themselves, can't talk to us about an account unless it's our own and we can establish it in no uncertain terms (Social Security number? Secret PIN number? Date of birth? Mother's maiden name?). Of course, at the same time they're busily selling our "secret" account information to other parties, but that's another department. So they're not equipped to handle the idea of taking a message about an account from someone else. "I'm sorry, sir," and that's not even true—she actually sounds annoyed that I would try this.
But now I'm getting pretty annoyed myself, and so I quickly get to the bottom-line: Stop the phone calls. I live there too, I'm getting bombarded with them, and I want them discontinued. And here's where things get interesting. "What calls?" the associate asks (that's what they are now, associates). Of course, the fraud calls might themselves be a scam! I'm glad now that I didn't give away any important information. I describe the calls.
"Well, we may be making such a call," the (security specialist) associate concedes. "But we can't discuss it with you, as you are not the card holder to whom it is directed."
And with that rather elegant sentence, it's over. Until my girlfriend returns, I am unable to find someone to stop the calls. And presumably, if she decides to stay in Romania, all I can do is cancel my phone service and start over, this time making sure to avoid relationships with people who might someday travel to Eastern Europe or other suspicious locales. I assume that Chase will give up trying to reach her after a while, but I'm on day two, with no end in sight.
I see this as more than a minor defeat for me—more like the beginning of the end of our society. True, I'm a little upset. Still, each of us (Americans) participates in more and more of these kinds of exchanges every day, unless we're old-order Amish, maybe. Or, worse, we don't even try to communicate anymore, and simply allow inconvenient and humiliating things to be done to us because we feel we can't do anything about them.
Like my phone calls. Or like, no matter when or how often you call for some kind of customer service, you're told about "unexpectedly long delays" before someone can get to you. Or how, instead of merely hearing disconcertingly bad music while you're on hold, which you could put on speaker phone and so be free to do something else while you wait, it's now interspersed with ads for the very company you're failing to reach.
And these are just a few phone-related examples, but it's happening all over, all the time, in our new "service" economy. And, participate or opt out, either way we lose. Enough of us lose, we give up on the system. We give up; it's the end.
I'm not a grumpy old man complaining about these newfangled ways. I'm just saying that if we institutionalize forms of communication that consistently lead to frustration, helplessness and apathy we're heading for serious social trouble. After all, as the social constructivists would point out, a society is held together in large part by everyday interactions and communications that establish and affirm social reality. So we're messing with some serious stuff here.
I'd rant some more but I need to go answer that phone.
