Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman The Sony Handycam® HDR-PJ380 lets you enjoy your movies anywhere you have a flat, light-colored surface. All aboard Cruise time! You've been waiting for months, and now it's time for you to be pampered. And what better camcorder to have with you than the Sony Handycam® HDR-PJ380? From the highly regarded wide-angle Sony G™ lens and its impressive 30X optical zoom, to the bright, clear and versatile 3" LCD touchscreen, this camcorder is made for documenting travel and vacation fun. There's a stiff breeze up on the promenade deck, but innovative touches like automatic wind noise reduction and "Closer Voice" technology keep your subjects' voices clear and intelligible. And even in low light, the 'PJ380 shines, with the light-sensitive lens feeding the camcorder's back-illuminated Exmor® R sensor. Instant replay Best of all, after you've spent the day playing at the port-of-call, you can set the 'PJ-380 up on your cabin's nightstand and relive the day's best moments as you project the video on the opposite wall. This camcorder includes a built-in high-contrast video projector so everyone can share in the magic without the need for wires or a dedicated HDTV. Smile and snap The 'PJ380 takes excellent 8.9-megapixel still shots as well, with features like tracking auto-focus and face/smile detection making sure you don't miss any of life's best photo opportunities. Sony's G lens offers a wide 26.8mm equivalent focal length when zoomed all the way out, so you'll be able to capture that impressive mountain and water vista as you're entering port. Memory for your memories Because this camcorder takes Memory Stick® media and SD cards, you can customize the amount of storage you have — with just a few cards you'll have hours upon hours of capacity waiting for when you need it. If you don't have any cards on hand, not to worry; this camcorder has 16GB of flash memory on-board, for up to 5 hours of HD video storage in LP mode. And the 'PJ380 can also copy your memories to an external hard drive without the aid of a computer. For that, you'll need an optional USB adapter cable available from Sony (the VMC-UAM1 cable). Here's another trick: you can access media on that hard drive using the 'PJ380's handy playback controls, and display those files on your HDTV via an HDMI connection from the camcorder. The producer is built-in Don't feel like editing your footage? Highlight Playback mode will identify and compile scenes from your day of shooting and make a short, engaging movie complete with music and transitions. You can even select the scenes you want in your day's highlight reel.

This camcorder fits my needs exactly. It is light weight, easy to use, and the video quality is excellent. Pros: Projects video on any surface to give you immediate feedback of video just recorded. Allows memory card to be changed and downloaded while continuing to video. Cons: Must remove camera from tripod to change memory card. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Zoom and projection Written By Anonymous, Honolulu, Hawaii on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this as a gift for my father for a trip to Mexico. He loved it and filmed everything. The zoom had amazing reach, and surprisingly, the projection was great, although the process of getting to project is needlessly cumbersome. It works great on the ceiling of a hotel room, as well as on random palm trees on the beach. Pros: Great zoom, good stabilization, built-in projector, built in memory Cons: Switching to between built-in memory and SD card, and enabling the projector are both needlessly cumbersome. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The 13-lumen DLP projector is built into the LCD panel, and is powerful enough to project a 100" diagonal screen. It has an output resolution of 640 x 360, and a throw distance of 1.6' and over. With a fully charged battery pack, the PJ380 can project continuously for about 90 minutes. Memory Card Slot: The HDR-PJ380 Full HD camcorder can record video and photos onto Memory Stick PRO Duo and PRO-HG Duo cards up to 32 GB in capacity, as well as Class 4 or faster SD, SDHC, and SDXC Memory Cards up to 64 GB. Built-in Memory: In addition to memory cards, you can record movies and photos onto the camcorder's 16 GB built-in flash memory. Because a portion of the flash memory is used for system management and/or application files, the actual usable media capacity is approximately 15.5 GB. 3.0" LCD Touch Screen: The 3.0" LCD touch screen provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 230,400 pixel (960 x 240) LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp and detailed images for monitoring or playback. In addition, you can navigate through the menu system by touching the icons on the screen or by using the Multi Selector button, located beside the LCD. The LCD also features an adjustable brightness and color level. You can also power on this camcorder by simply opening its LCD display. Note: This camcorder does not include a separate viewfinder. Imaging Device: The HDR-PJ380 features an advanced 1/5.8" (3.1mm) back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS imaging sensor with 2,390,000 gross pixels. The 2,290,000 effective video pixels provide excellent detail and clarity. The unique image processing system of Sony's BIONZ allows still image resolution equivalent to a maximum of 8.9 megapixels (3984 x 2240). Sony G Lens: The camcorder features a professional-quality, wide angle Sony G lens. Sony G lenses deliver superior optical performance with brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp, detailed images. In both the Photo and Video modes, the 26.8mm focal length provides exceptional wide-angle shooting. Zoom: The camcorder's maximum optical zoom depends upon the SteadyShot setting. With the setting at Active, the optical zoom is 30x. If SteadyShot is set to Active the maximum optical zoom is 55x (Extended Zoom). Combined with the digital zoom, the total zoom capability is 320x. Because the digital zoom processes the image digitally, the picture quality deteriorates the more you zoom in. The power zoom lever can be moved slightly for a slow zoom, or moved further for a faster zoom. Optical SteadyShot Picture Stabilization: Optical SteadyShot compensates for greater degrees of camera shake to deliver smooth video from wide angle to full telephoto shooting. In addition, 3-way Shake Canceling adds electronic roll stability for even smoother video capture. You can choose Standard mode or Active mode of Optical SteadyShot. Face Detection: The camcorder's Face Detection technology recognizes faces and optimizes the camera settings for videos and still photos. Videos and photos recorded using Face Detection are indexed according to the faces detected in each scene. This allows you to search for what you want by selecting the faces displayed in the index. Focus Modes: The Sony Handycam HDR-PJ380 features Auto Focus and Manual Focus modes. When using Auto Focus, you can choose to focus on a subject in the center of the screen. For more difficult focusing situations, you can manually adjust the focus of the camcorder. Scene Selection Modes: The following Scene Selection modes are available to suit your specific shooting requirements: Auto, Night Scene, Sunrise & Sunset, Fireworks, Landscape, Portrait, Spotlight, Beach, and Snow. White Balance Adjustment: Sets the color balance to the brightness of the recording environment. Your choices are: Auto: The white balance is adjusted automatically. Outdoor: The white balance is adjusted for the following conditions: Outdoors, night views, neon signs and fireworks, sunrise, sunsets, under daylight fluorescent lamps. Indoor: The white balance is adjusted for the following conditions: Indoors, party scenes and studios where lighting conditions change quickly, and under the video lamps or incandescent-like color lamps. One Push: The white balance will be adjusted according to the present ambient light. Auto Back Light: You can use the Auto Back Light function to adjust the exposure for backlit subjects. Guide Frame: The Guide Frame displays a frame and grid around your subject and allows you to check the horizontal and vertical position. Data Code Function: The camcorder automatically records time codes along with the images you shoot, so you can display the date and time during playback or editing. You can also display the camera settings when recording movies or photos. Protect: You can protect movies and photos to avoid deleting them by mistake. Power On By LCD: You can set the camcorder to automatically power on when you open the LCD, and turn off when you close the LCD. Video Camcorder Features Video Recording: The HDR-PJ380 records High Definition video in 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios with 5 image sizes to choose from. A Standard Definition recording mode is also available. You can choose from the following recording modes: Image Quality Bit Rate Pixels Aspect Ratio High Definition PS 28 Mbps 1920 x 1080/60p 16:9 FX 24 Mbps 1920 x 1080/60i 16:9 FH 17 Mbps 1920 x 1080/60i 16:9 HQ 9 Mbps 1440 x 1080/60i 16:9 LP 5 Mbps 1440 x 1080/60i 16:9 Standard Definition HQ 9 Mbps 720 x 480 16:9, 4:3 MP4 MP4 1280 x 720/30p 16:9 Built-In Zoom Mic: The built-in Zoom Microphone allows you to record sound with directivity as you move the power zoom lever. The camcorder's microphone level can be set to Low or Normal. Closer Voice: When the Closer Voice function is turned on, the camcorder detects faces and records the voices clearly. This function cannot be activated when using an optional external mic. Auto Wind NR: The camcorder features an Auto Wind Noise Reduction setting which reduces noise and interference caused by wind passing over the microphones. With the Wind NR activated, you'll get clearer, more enjoyable audio. Divide Movies: The Divide Movies feature allows you to divide movies on the inserted memory card. You cannot restore movies once they are divided. Digital Still Camera Features Digital Still Image Recording: The HDR-PJ380 can record still images on a Memory Stick PRO Duo, PRO-HG Duo, SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card (sold separately), or the built-in 16 GB flash memory. Still images can be recorded with the camcorder in the either Still Image or Movie mode (Dual Capture). Still images are recorded in the following resolutions, depending upon the selected aspect ratio: 3984 x 2240 (16:9) 2992 x 2240 (4:3) 1920 x 1080 (16:9) 640 x 480 (4:3) Capturing Still Images From Video: You can capture still images from recorded video. The image size is fixed depending upon the aspect ratio of the movie: 1920 x 1080, 640 x 360, or 640 x 480. The recording date and time of the captured photos is the same as the recording date and time of the movie. If there is no data code on the movie, the recording date and time will be the date/time you captured the photo from the video. Self Timer: This feature allows you to record a still image about 10 seconds after the "Photo" button is depressed. Slide Show: You can automatically play back images stored on the memory card in a slide-show fashion. Battery Information Battery: This unit comes with an NP-FV30 InfoLithium battery (7.2 Volts, 500 mAh). The InfoLithium system exchanges data about its actual power consumption with the camcorder for a more accurate estimate of recording time available. Cold temperatures will increase battery consumption. The battery can be charged in the camera via USB in approximately 150 minutes. You can also charge the battery in about 115 minutes using the supplied AC adapter (AC-L200C). The HDR-PJ380 is compatible with the following Sony InfoLithium V-series batteries: NP-FV100 (3900 mAh), NP-FV70 (2060 mAh), and MP-FV50 (1030 mAh). Auto Shut Off: When powered by the battery the camcorder can be set to turn off automatically if not used for 5 minutes. Input and Output Notes HDMI Out: The PJ380 is equipped with a micro-HDMI (Type D) output for connecting your camcorder to an HDTV. A 39" HDMI cable is included with the camcorder. You can set the HDMI output resolution to 1080p/480p, 1080i/480i, 720p/480p, 480p, or 480i, depending upon the capability of the TV's input. The Auto setting will output the signal according to the TV's capability. When connecting the camcorder to a Bravia Sync-compatible TV via HDMI, you can control play back on the camcorder by aiming the TV's Remote Commander at the TV. Projector (HDMI) In: In addition to the HDMI output, the PJ380 has a micro HDMI input that allows you to connect an external device that has an HDMI output, and use the camcorder's projector to view photos and videos. This allows you to project content from your smartphone, laptop, tablet, or other HDMI-equipped device. Multi Connector: The camcorder features a proprietary Multi Connector for use with the optional VMC-15MR2 AV connecting cable for displaying the camcorder's contents on your non-HD television. You can change the aspect ratio of the camcorder's video output from 16:9 or 4:3 according to the screen aspect ratio of your TV. You can also choose to display the camcorder's information, such as the time code on the screen of your TV during playback from the camcorder. The optional VMC-15MR2 AV cable has a proprietary plug on one end and male stereo RCA audio and RCA composite video connections on the other end. Built-in USB: The camcorder has a built-in male USB Type A plug and a 40" USB extension cable (Type A USB female-to-Type A USB male) for connecting to a PC.

1/2 cup
This was a VERY delicious recipe! I didn't use any bell peppers or the chicken liver(we don't like) and I used cream of mushroom instead of chicken. I also used milk instead of water with the soup and it is definately a keeper. This was the very first time that I have made stuffed chicken and this recipe was quite easy! My husband actually asked for seconds...which isn't too often..LOL
Thanks for sharing this great recipe!!
Sorry, but this is definitely not a keeper dish for me. I might suggest after filling the chicken to brown it first. I also added some white wine to the soup, but it still tasted like can soup over chicken to me. Glad others like it. (I also used some sausage like you mentioned) and still no help for me.

Hi, I'm Carina, the author of this recipe, and just wanted to say that I made it this weekend with a little cooked bulk Italian sausage in place of the chicken livers, and it was a nice change and still very tasty!
This was a pretty good recipe. I didn't have green pepper and did not use chicken livers. The chicken was tender and the stuffing was moist. Thanks!
This was a hit with my family and mother who hates that I cook chicken so much. I didnt have any extra cornbread on hand so I cheated and added Stove top. I just added a half of cup more water to the directions so that it wouldnt dry out while baking. It was a SMASH hit for the family.
This goes to the top of our families list for favorite recipes! No more boring chicken! My husband loved this so much that after he finished his plate he walked over to the pan where a extra piece was and started eating it right out of the pan... classy, eh? He said it tasted like something from a 5 star restaurant and I thought so too. The best thing about it is that is is super easy to make if you have cornbread on hand. I would suggest making sweet cornbread the previous day for another dish and using the leftovers for this receipe the next day. The only variance I made was that I tripled the garlic and cut up a whole green pepper instead of half. I also put salt and pepper on the chicken and didn't add the sauce until 10 minutes before it was ready. So yummy... my 9 year old loved it too!
Very good. I made substitutions for what I had on hand: Jiffy corn muffin mix, boullion that I made into broth, and omitted the peppers. I also poured Knorr gravy mix over the top instead of cream of chicken soup, as I don't like the flavor of the soup; next time I'll make a double batch of gravy, as it could have used more. Husband and I loved the flavor of the cornbread, though I substituted poultry seasoning for sage because I realized I was out of sage while cooking. Will definitely make again!
I have to say that I really do not like stuffing...however, I decided to try this for my hubby. I did cheat by using boxed cornbread stuffing and I didn't have cream of chicken soup, but did have Turkey gravy so I used it instead. The meal smelled so good while it was cooking and then when I opened the oven door...wow! I could not believe that I really honestly loved this recipe! Our 11 year old picky eater even snarfed down his chicken. It was so incredibly easy and delicious, I am sending it to our 20 year old son....he can even do this. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us, will go into the families cookbook from here on out. Oh, and my hubby LOVED it too!! Thanks again!!!

Strawberry-Almond Smoothie
14 comments:
Totally delicious! Love all the pics, especially the one with your daughter so happy with smoothie in hand. :-) Appreciate the advice from Tom, too. I've been adding almond flour to my smoothies, of late, but will try soaking raw almonds first. Almonds are very satisfying and often keep me from wanting anything sugary. :-)ReplyDelete
Oh my, this sounds so delicious! It's almost strawberry season here so we'll definitely have to try this. I know my husband and daughter will love this. I wonder how this would freeze? I would love to make it into popsicles for my kids. What do you think?ReplyDelete
Brilliant as always. You folks are so creative with food. Thanks for the recipe.ReplyDelete
Wow, this sounds easy and delicious. Can I effectively make almond milk or blend these almonds to a smooth consistency with just my ol' regular blender? I've seen so many people making their own almond milk, but it always seems they have a Vitamix. While I pine for one of those, I'd like to make this NOW! :)ReplyDelete
I have smoothies almost every morning and look forward to trying this one soon! Quick question about the vanilla bean: do you put the whole thing, pod and all, into your vitamix or just the seeds? I guess I didn't realize the pod was edible...do you get a lot of flavor from that?ReplyDelete
Strawberries are going in everything here...and this will be a fiberlicious addition in the morning!ReplyDelete
- Jennifer L.May 12, 2010 at 1:45 PM
We made this today and it was delightfully yummy. I also made the rice cereal and that was tasty too. We have lots of strawberries growing in our yard this year, so strawberry recipes are always welcome! I think I love them best with the cashew sauce from your book. It's definitely a hit with anyone who comes to our house. We are very grateful for all your efforts thinking of new ways to make food taste so good!ReplyDelete
Hi Ali and Tom,ReplyDelete
i really enjoy your blog, however i was wondering if it would be possible for you to post some recipes that would work well for people who have such common conditions as hypo/hyperthyroidism, candida, issues with adrenals, etc. Thank you!
Hi Ali,ReplyDelete
This looks so good! I'll definitely be making it this morning.
Regarding Tasty Eats At Home's question about making smoothies and almond milk in a blender rather than VitaMix - We have an old (at least 20 years) Oster 400 Watt blender that makes GREAT almond milk and smoothies. I have to admit, that I recently upgraded to a 500 Watt Oster blender (on sale for $50), and it makes even smoother smoothies. I'm not sure if it's the extra power or the sharper blades that make the difference.
Ali - I also LOVE the almond milk recipe in your cookbook! I never liked store-bought almond milk, so I didn't think to make it fresh. Then my 8yo daughter was reading your cookbook one day and decided to make your recipe for almond milk, and I've never turned back - we make it every week!
This looks delicious. I'll have to try it later as an afternoon treat. I've read somewhere that the nuts should be refrigerated while they're soaking. Do you think that's necessary??
Thanks all for your comments! :)ReplyDelete
Maggie - Yes! This recipe works as popsicles! :)
Tasty Eats - Yes this smoothie recipe can be done in a regular blender, it just works better in a vita-mix or other high-powered blender such as the BlendTec.
Hallie - yes, the whole pod - just toss it in. So much flavor and much easier! :)
Lisl - I don't refrigerate my nuts while soaking. I suppose if I lived in a very hot climate that would be a good idea but not necessary in the Pacific Northwest! :)

GDS Link Proposes Remedy for Forthcoming UDAP Changes
The proposed Unfair Deceptive Acts and Practices Legislation (UDAP), in its current form, will have a significant impact on the way credit card issuers manage the risk of their existing and future card portfolios. A key aspect of the proposed regulations will impact an issuer's ability to re-price new and existing balances thereby reducing their portfolio yield and associated profitability. With reduced flexibility on the back-end, the need to strengthen risk management practices on the front-end will be even more critical as the card industry moves forward.
Legacy loan origination systems currently deployed at many financial service organizations do not provide the flexibility to easily implement new credit scoring that may be required to facilitate enhanced risk management policies necessary to offset reduced pricing flexibility once an account is booked. In addition, with the introduction of a wide range of new data sources over the past several years, reliance solely on the three traditional credit bureaus may not provide lenders with a complete view on a consumer's capacity to pay. Enhanced front-end lending models, should, at a minimum, include testing of alternative data sources to see if this unique information can add lift to new scoring models.
DataView360™ by GDS Link, (www.gdslink.com) was designed to provide financial service organizations with a flexible tool kit which allows for easy integration with any third party or internal data source, the ability to easily develop custom data attributes and the rapid implementation of in house developed or third party custom scorecard models. In addition, DataView360 supports complex process flows, unlimited champion challenge strategies and risk policies based on portfolio segmentation, product type and other key market drivers.
A robust internal facility for performing retrospective analysis of business rules objects and strategies is also supported allowing your risk management staff to test models and new risk policies prior to deployment. From within DataView360, you can simply invoke the Retro-Scoring engine and recall archived credit bureau, application and/or internal system data for testing alternative business scenarios. The Retro-Scoring engine gives an organization the ability to validate new rules objects,credit bureau attributes and custom scorecards using real transactional data, but free of consequence in a non-production setting.
***** Enhancethe Value of Your Existing Technology Investment *****
GDS's DataView360™ was developed with the recognition that financial service organizations have made large investments in their existing lending platforms and the effort to replace these solutions would be very labor intensive and quite expensive. DataView360 was designed to be a "bolt-on" to your existing lending platform providing your organization with all the feature richness of our solution while at the same time increasing the return on investment of your legacy solutions.
These are times that try bank balance sheets - and test their credit scoring abilities. But adapting to new economic realities can be difficult if the scoring formulas are hard-wired into a legacy database system.To make it easier, faster and cheaper to create custom scorecards, Dallas-based GDS Link, LLC has come out with DataView360, which uses Web services instead of traditional software, deploys quickly - and costs as little as a tenth of traditional scorecard systems.
According to a GDS Link survey of 100 banks conducted in May and June of 2008, 71 percent used reports from the bureaus instead of doing their own custom scoring - but only 22 percent of the banks were satisfied with these generic scores.DataView360 takes just a couple of weeks to configure and a couple of days to install-rather than the six to twelve months of traditional deployments, says GDS president and founder Paul Greenwood. And further changes take place within the system's easy-to-use interface."It changes the dynamics of what was traditionally a very hard process to do-custom scoring," says Greenwood. "You no longer have to rely on your IT group. The business analyst or credit risk manager is able to control this with his desktop."
That's been the experience of Craig Johnson, director of portfolio management of Sioux Falls-based Meta Payment Systems, a division of Iowa's MetaBank."As a matter of fact, the person at Meta who controls that is myself," he says. "I can go in and change the score cutoffs. It's very simple to do - it takes no programming experience at all."Meta configured the system to combine the results of two different custom score cards, he says. Now he can go in and, for each combination of scores from the two scorecards, change the approval decision, the credit line granted, and the cutoff points for the two scores.The company, which previously focused primarily on prepaid cards, plans to use this for a new program for small-balance personal loans. Meta expects to see hundreds of thousands of applications come in over the course of a couple of months, according to Johnson.Other vendors in this space are also moving toward Web services, says TowerGroup analyst Bobbie Britting, but not everyone is there yet. "It's a mixed bag," she says.But there's nothing at all wrong with a credit scoring technology that's better, faster, and cheaper."What lenders need to be able to do is condense the data acquisition and analysis process and timeframes, finding shifting patterns in consumer behavior and create new custom scores," Britting says.

Guest blog by Louise Murray, DVM DACVIM, Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital and author of "Vet Confidential: An Insider's Guide to Protecting Your Pet's Health"
Many pet parents don't realize that pets can also suffer from breast cancer. In veterinary medicine, these tumors are referred to as mammary gland tumors, and are unfortunately one of the most common kinds of cancer in pets.
Cats generally have eight mammary glands, arranged in four pairs. Dogs usually have 10 glands arranged in five pairs, though the number varies with the size of the dog. Mammary gland tumors in dogs and cats can be benign or malignant. In cats, around 90% of mammary gland tumors are malignant. In dogs, approximately 50% are malignant.
How can mammary gland tumors be prevented in dogs and cats?
The most effective way to prevent mammary gland tumors is to have your pet spayed before she ever goes into heat. There is a myth that animals should have one heat cycle (or give birth to one litter) before they are spayed. In fact, dogs who are spayed before their first heat cycle are 2,000 times less likely to develop breast cancer! Cats spayed before their first heat are 91% less likely to develop breast cancer than unspayed cats. After just one heat cycle, the risk rises in both dogs and cats.
Detecting mammary gland tumors
Just like in people, performing mammary exams in dogs and cats is very important. Early detection is key. If your dog or cat allows, perform a mammary exam on her once a month. Gently feel the tissue under and around each nipple, "rolling" the tissue between your fingers. Very small mammary tumors often feel like a little BB pellet under the skin. If you feel even a tiny lump or firm area, bring your pet to the veterinarian immediately.
There is evidence that canine mammary tumors can become malignant over time, so prompt removal is essential.
Treatment of mammary gland tumors in pets
The main treatment at this time is surgical removal. Depending on the situation, your pet may need to have the affected mammary gland, several mammary glands, or all the glands on that side of her body removed. The tumor that is removed will be sent to the lab for a biopsy to tell you if it is benign or malignant. If the tumor is malignant, your veterinarian may refer you to a veterinary oncologist for consultation.

Bridgeport Hospital, the first hospital in Connecticut to perform angioplasty to unblock heart arteries, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of that milestone event.
What does this mean to you? It means that Bridgeport Hospital's cardiologists and Catheterization Laboratory staff have been honing their skills for two decades-longer than any other hospital in Connecticut. It means they have seen and handled every imaginable variation of this procedure, and are fully prepared to handle even the unimaginable ones. And it means that if you or someone you love ever needs this clot-busting procedure, the Connecticut catheterization team with the most years of experience is available at Bridgeport Hospital.
"Because of this experience and expertise, we are a regional referral center for angioplasty," explains Mitchell Driesman, MD, director of Interventional Cardiology (angiograms and angioplasty). "Hospitals that don't have Heart Institutes like ours send us their patients, confident they'll get the best possible care here. We do nearly 1,500 angioplasties per year, and the more times we do it, the better we get at it, and the better our patients do. It's a wonderful perpetual circle."
For a referral to a cardiologist, or for a free brochure about The Heart Institute at Bridgeport Hospital, call (888) 3757-2396.

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
Osama Bin Laden, hunted, caught, killed. The world wakes up a better place.
"Do you want Bin Laden dead?" a reporter asked President George W. Bush six days after the Sept. 11 attacks.
"I want him — I want justice," the president answered. "And there's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.' "
It took nearly a decade before that quest finally ended in Pakistan with the death of Bin Laden during a confrontation with American forces, who attacked a compound where officials said he had been hiding.

Title: Saturn''s Titan: A strict test for life''s cosmic ubiquity
Primary Author: Jonathan I. Lunine
Secondary Author(s): N/A
Institution: University of Arizona
Summary: In this white paper I argue that Titan provides a strict test for the Copernican hypothesis that life is a ubiquitous cosmic phenomenon. Planets with environments like Titan may be common in the cosmos, as they correspond to a roughly 1 AU orbit around M-dwarfs.
Panel Selection: Giant Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and exoplanets, including rings and magnetic fields, but not their satellites.
Satellites: Galilean satellites, Titan, and the other satellites of the giant planets.

Welcome to Flappers University
Where Learning is a Joke!
At Flappers University we believe that comedy is truly an art-form, a combination of raw talent and technique. Talent can be lost without technique, so we first teach joke structure and the basic language of comedy. We also believe that what makes a great comedian is being personal and authentic and, perhaps, a rule-breaker, so we provide a safe and fun environment where you can be just that: authentic, inspired and successful. Whether you are already a working comedian or looking to make it your profession, or simply need help with that next presentation or just want to come and have fun, we can help you find the path to funny.

This story was corrected on Jan. 17 at 10:00 a.m. An explanation of the corrections follows.
For a week in 1963, the only things that came across Willie King's office desk were scraps of toilet paper and napkins.
King said she never would have guessed how important those scraps would become.
King, of Silver Spring was 21 when she was hired as a secretary at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, based in Atlanta. She worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., no relation to herself, who was then president of the organization.
During the four years Willie King spent there, she worked behind the scenes as the protests and impassioned declarations that became synonymous with Dr. King's image took place.
In April of 1963, Dr. King was arrested and imprisoned in Birmingham for participating in a protest. While in jail, Dr. King read a statement from eight clergymen, calling for civil justice to be carried out in the courts, not the streets.
He started writing an open letter to them, using any paper he could find. Willie King said her supervisor, civil rights leader the Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker, and Dr. King's attorneys brought in piles of tissue paper, toilet paper, the margins of newspapers and napkins covered with Dr. King's handwriting.
"I had the unpleasant task of trying to read his chicken scratch," Willie King said.
Dr. King seemed very anxious to get out his message, she said. He thought his fellow clergymen would be more understanding, and wrote to defend his beliefs and express his frustration with the status quo.
She worked through several mornings, evenings and nights, painstakingly feeding each word into her typewriter. When she fell asleep at her desk, the Rev. Walker lifted her from her chair and continued typing.
The document would later become known as Dr. King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
"Everything we did was important, but it was not something that was going to be turned into a masterpiece like it is," Willie King, now 72, said. "It was another piece of work that needed to be done correctly, and it needed to be done quickly."
She found the position with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference when a neighbor, civil rights leader Dorothy Cotton, told her the organization was looking for a secretary.
Willie King had been searching for a job soon after she graduated from Georgia State University. She saw signs in Atlanta shop windows saying, "Help Wanted," but employers told the young black woman to look elsewhere for work.
"It didn't dawn on me that the reason I wasn't getting a job is because I was the wrong color," she said.
Cotton took her in, and Willie King started working for the organization in February of 1961. On her first day, Dr. King greeted her with a big smile and a genuine welcome.
"He made me feel real at ease," Willie King said.
His temperament would become essential for the tense situations Dr. King and his staff would often find themselves in when they traveled in the South.
On one of many trips Willie King took with them, they drove from Birmingham to Montgomery, Ala. They planned to visit a church, where clergymen and the public would be waiting to meet with Dr. King.
Willie King said the FBI advised them to cancel the trip because there had been multiple threats on Dr. King's life.
Knowing this, Dr. King gave his staff the choice to stay behind, but no one spoke up.
"I thought, 'Oh my God,'" she said. "We're going ahead?"
They started on their trip, with the Rev. Walker in the driver's seat. On the long, two-lane road, a muddy truck with a rifle rack got in front of their station wagon, forcing them to slow down. Looking out the window, Willie King said she saw "rednecks" in another truck, boxing them in. Long lines of cars followed behind them.
"I started crying," Willie King said. "And Dr. King started laughing."
One of the station wagon's passengers suggested an uplifting song, and they were soon singing loudly while men in the truck beside them stared. Willie King saw two rifles in the truck ahead of them.
"Dr. King said those boys probably can't even shoot, they probably can't hit a rabbit," she said. "He started making all these jokes, and these fools are about to blow us away!"
Despite the situation, Dr. King never showed any signs of fear, she said.
"He would always say to us, 'If you don't have something worth dying for, then there's no point in living.'"
Willie King left the Southern Christian Leadership conference in 1966. She had been working at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Birmingham when Dr. King was assassinated in 1968. A friend called to tell her the news. She turned on her TV, then packed up her car and drove straight to Atlanta.
There, she picked up where she left off, writing press releases for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. She went back to her job in Birmingham shortly afterwards.
Willie King retired from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission several years ago. She spends her time volunteering at Montgomery Hills Baptist Church in Silver Spring, where kids sometimes ask if she is Dr. King's wife.
"Absolutely not," she responds, though she was close friends with Coretta Scott King.
Willie King said she often hears from elementary school students who study Dr. King's speeches in class. While working with his organization, she helped distribute copies of one of his most widely known speeches, "I Have a Dream," shortly after it was written.
She came to the District for the March on Washington, but left before Dr. King delivered the speech.
"I was so tired of typing and retyping and all of the hullabaloo going on with planning this March on Washington," she said. "I went back home to Atlanta."
The original copy of the "Dream" speech ended up in the trash once it was transcribed, Willie King said. Like the Birmingham letter, she never guessed — "never in a million years," she said — that it would become iconic.
This story previously stated that Willie King left the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1965. She left in 1966. King was also hired as a secretary, not as an executive assistant. She was later promoted to the position of executive assistant for Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker.

Go to a place that sells commercial mowers, they should sell blade sharpeners. They are expensive, we sell them for like $400+. But that should give you an idea on how to make something. I will look to see if we have 1 in stock, but not sure

Chlorine Institute's safety mission supports chlor-alkali opportunity
9:23 AM MDT | May 23, 2013 | —Clay Boswell
The low cost of natural gas gives US chlor-alkali producers a great advantage on the global market, but capitalizing on the opportunity means maintaining the industry's strong safety record. Supporting that objective is a primary mission of the Chlorine Institute (CI; Arlington, VA), says Frank Reiner, president of CI. "The linkage between our safety mission and the economic growth of the industry is really very important," he says. CI held its annual meeting at Houston in early April, taking safety, security, and technology for its theme...

An interesting natural experiment in the Senate: The Darryl Levinson thesis revisited
Sandy Levinson
There is an unusually interesting story in today's Washington Post, tellingly titled "For GOP, Discord in Dissent," on the growing tensions in the Senate with regard to expressing disapproval (or support) for Bush's escalation (or whatever you think it is). What I find most interesting are the following paragraphs:
If we accept that the individuals of both parties are interested only in self-preservation, than the two parties are behaving exactly as expected.
Sadly, at this point, it is in the Democrats best interest for the war to continue and for it to be a total fiasco. They have already attained the "party of opposition" status with regards to the war, without really opposing it. The choice in 2008 will be between a party that favors continuing the war (Republican) and a party that favors not discontinuing the war (Democratic)--logically the choice is the same, but the Democrats get the advantage of being able denounce the war--the continuation of which only enhances their power--while doing nothing to end it. Meanwhile, Republicans who turn against the war appear as opportunists and are encumbered by their own party's habit of labeling anyone who is anti-war as a "defeatist" or a "traitor."
The vanity of Hagel and other opportunistic Senators at least agitates for change, but it is again only for self aggrandizement. I think that when John Murtha turned against the war, every potential presidential contender in the Senate perked up his/her ears and realized the staggering amount of favorable free press they would receive by turning against their party. This has lead to many individuals denouncing the war, but neither the Senate nor the House has any interest in acting, so the status quo will continue until after the 08 elections.
I should finally note that the condition of craven cynicism that today infects and directs the Democratic party does not make the party of opposition a righteous savior--they clearly are anything but. However, Republicans will seize on this fallacious reasoning during the coming election cycle, as a way to denounce the motives of their opponents.
For the record, I reject the description of Senator Hagel as "opportunistic," as would certainly be the case with, e.g., Rep. Murtha. Others may deserve such an appellation, in both parties, but one should not presume that everyone who is speaking out on the war (including those who support it) is moved by crass self-interest. There are honest patriots on both sides.
Just for the record, I hope it is clear in my prior posting that I do NOT regard Rep. Murtha as "opportunistic."
I suppose that Murtha and Hagel are as "opportunistic" as any of us. It's in our nature. As pols, even more so, given the rewards of being pro-MIC and a pol these days. Just ask Randy "Duke" Cunningham or Duncan Hunter or "Crazy" Curt Weldon, to name but a few. I don't see that "opportunism" at all in Murtha or Hagel's opposition to the war. Not one bit. These are two men who have seen war up close. I do see it in other Republican's new found opposition. And I doubt the Democratic party is quite as cravenly cynical is Keith Carr thinks they are or I am myself.
Keith Carr... Sadly, at this point, it is in the Democrats best interest for the war to continue and for it to be a total fiasco.Post a Comment
If even you were as cynical as you think the Democrats are, you'd know this war was a total fiasco about the time Bush donned his flight suit and declared: "Mission Accomplished".

#12 pick = Patterson, 2a & 2b = BPA (3 picks)
#12 pick = BPA, 2a + 2b traded to move up and use for Patterson (2 picks)
#12 pick = Allen 2a & 2b used on BPA (3 picks)
#12 pick = BPA 2a and 2b traded to get Allen (2 picks)
At 12, that's a crazy risk IMO. Once you get past the few amazing highlights, you wonder what hes doing the rest of the time on the field. You look at his game by game production, and yes I get that he didn't have the time to assimilate to tenn the way he should have, came from juco, etc.
But he's this superior player ppl are building him up tk be, he wouldn't of went on a 5 game run where he did almost nothing. at 12 this seems like a crazy pick IMO, the more I look at it.
I don't agree with the Cobb comparison, packers had the luxury to draft a project wr, we def do not. Not in the 1st rnd at least.
It's simple. He didn't go on a 5 game run where he did "almost nothing".
I assume you're talking about the 5 game stretch from the Akron game to the South Carolina game. But in that 5 game stretch he produced 3 touchdowns along with 553 yards on 33 touches.
God damn. I'd love that kind of "almost nothing" production on the Dolphins.
You say you're accounting for his being fresh off a JUCO transfer, but in practice you're not really showing me that you are, IMO.
Twitter: @ckparrot
I'm talking about what he did was a wideout, that is what we would be drafting him to do here. Catching the ball, stuff like that, you know, wr stuff.
I know he is special once the ball is in his hands, but the kid looks completely raw and flat out ugly in many areas of wr, getting that ball there may not be so easy. On top of that, you keep mentioning this juco transfer, well now he's going ti have ti make the jump into the NFL.
And he's going to have to learn technique AND and system, that many vets seem to have trouble with.
Thats a tall order.
EDIT: Posted this before the edit in the original post
His transition from JUCO to Tennessee DOES give a clue as to how he'll transition from being a college player to playing in the NFL. But you keep taking an intentional blind eye to the runs and returns (and even passes) from the guy. Why? The point is Tennessee knew he would have a difficult time transitioning so far, so quickly, so they found ways to get him the ball any way they could, and it PAID OFF for them. He was as productive offensively as Justin Hunter. The same thing will happen in the NFL. The NFL will know that he's not going to be Torry Holt overnight. But you know what, the Ravens knew that with Torrey Smith too, and he was very productive as a rookie. They found what he was good at and emphasized it. Similarly, the Falcons got the ball into Julio Jones' hands anyway they could. They knew he was a raw athlete. They just tried their hardest to cover for what he couldn't do and emphasize what he could do.
A lot of what you use as excuses as to why he wasn't assimilated into the offense as a wr is what scares me the most. Why wasn't he pushed into the offense more? Even as time went by? You probably know more about this than I do, but as a wr, what does he actually do good? I don't see much there.
I'm not ignoring the other ways he's produced, but we all need to be realistic, were not drafting him to run trick plays and return kicks, were drafting him to play wr.
And I completely disagree that his transfer from juco to tenn gives any clue of how he will transfer to the NFL. There is really no comparison between the two.
Also just want to add, I think you may be underestimating the complications of this system as far as WR's go. There's a reason you don't see the patriots drafting a lot of athlete WRs, that are raw.
They won't make it. They don't even have a chance in that system,. That's why no matter how much NE tries to replace branch and welker they are still there.
Were obviously not NE, but that is where philbin is trying to bring it to. When you hear vets talking about how tough the system is, just imagine what a juco kid is going to see. He won't see anything cuz he won't get on the field, same way egnew couldn't. How many times did we see guys like Charles clay line up in the wrong place?
I dunno, Maybe you just have far more faith in raw players than I do.
I just see Patterson as a good kid who has great moves in the open field. No way does he remind me of Ginn. He is tougher than Ginn. I just dont buy the hype as a #1 guy. What I see is end around dangerous with occasional over the middle pass. I think he would do well with other guys getting doubled but so would others IMO.
His stick foot in the open field is very good and seems to go forward instead of one Brandon Marshall who completely stops.
1. Melvin Gordon RB
2. Bernardrick McKinney ILB
3. Steve Nelson CB
4. John Miller G
5. Adrian Amos FS
5. Kenny Bell WR
What I notice first about Patterson is that he has made a lot of progress from arriving at UT to breaking into the first team, to finishing the season as one of their top weapons.
Justin Hunter, who I also like, has had great teaching every step of the way, and in high school played for a good system and was a very highly regarded prospect. His time at UT was as the #1 WR from day 1 and he learned a lot of great things, like decent route running, how to high point a reception, and how to be a good downfield blocker. He also has been taught for years how to properly snatch the football as a hands catcher. My issues with Hunter are that he lacks sufficient arm/hand strength and has trouble holding onto the ball in traffic. He also simply drops some very makable throws from concentration lapses. These things can be learned, but my worry is that he has been taught the right way for many years ... and its still an issue. I am a huge fan of Justin Hunter, but the guy needs to add some strength and concentrate on catching before running. Secondly, he needs to get and stay healthy. He needs to add muscle to help with all of this ... but the kid is a long lean jumping machine mismatch in the red zone and a fast deep threat with a great wingspan.
Patterson hasn't had the same level of teaching ...but he has started learning at a nice pace, which is very encouraging. He knows he needs to work, which is crucial. He seems like a guy who will be receptive to the teaching he needs. Patterson may be raw, but he sure appears to be doing the right things to get where he needs to get. And I like that.
We aren't at the same stage as the Patriots. They are at the very top with a great established QB and a humming machine that always features WR's, offers a goood chance for a ring, and need to win NOW because their great QB is long in the tooth. The Dolphins are a rebuilding team putting the foundation in place and our young QB is still learning the ropes. We can't attract top WR's for cut-rate prices to give them a chance to star in the Brady and Belichik show and maybe pick up the grand prize, a ring. We need to pay top dollar to entice those WR's NOT to go there but come to a nice city and fight in an uncertain and youthful system. The Patriots don't develop WR's because they don't have to do so. What we want is a pace-setter and some young WR's to grow with Tannehill. Ideally the pace-setter would teach the young WR's how to become great and what is necessary.
