Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

I am having trouble understanding how to calculate two-time scale variance as I do not have a strong mathematical background. Suppose I want to calculate the TSRV at 5 min intervals. Do I calculate the RV at t = 0,5,10,15min...etc. Then shift the time interval and calculate RV at t = 1,6,11,16min, ....RV at t = 4,9,14,19...and finally take the average of the 5 RVs I have calculated?

If I had to go to war I would be a coward, how about you?
Of course if my country was invaded that would change things a bit but I just couldn't imagine being in a situation with bullets, bombs & grenades going off around me killing all my mates. Any digger in my mind is worth ten of me any day!!
Grace Greene
Feb 19 2013: I would much prefer to spend the rest of my days in jail for failure to kill/murder others.

Feb 19 2013: So me and all my fellow veterans throughout our nation's history have been nothing more than killers and murderers? Enjoy the freedom to espouse your opinions young lady. We killed and murdered those who would have taken them away from you, so far. There is another way to look at war than to hide your head in the sand. Bad guys want what you have. They will try anything to get your freedom, your safety, your dignity, and your stuff. As to the topic, we were all pretty scared but not many chose to yield to that gut-wrenching fear by shirking our duty. Feeling fear is not cowardice, surrendering to it is.
Feb 19 2013: There's no disputing your courage Edward, and I don't see you or any other veterans as murderers - but in the arena of modern warfare, why should I not see God as being another word for Oil?
If both are manifestations of western political ideals justifying the taking of so many lives, then I can safely call myself a coward.
edward long
Feb 19 2013: Absolutely, the ethical justification for specific conflicts can, and should, be challenged by a free people. But sweeping condemnation of all participants in military actions under orders from their Commander-In-Chief is not right. Some contributors on this post are damning anyone who goes to war. They are wrong about that.Feb 19 2013: So if you were of an age to go into combat, would you still do so? Or has the justification for modern warfare changed enough for you to change your mind?

I'm struggling to get my head around the justification for sending 16 year old kids to their death, in the name of... what?
edward long
Feb 19 2013: IMO, you have asked a very good question sir. I think the minimum age in the US is18.Since WWII ended America has stopped officially declaring a state of war exists but continues to wage wars in an "informal?" way as "police actions". That Declaration of War process was important. It included every American citizen in the effort. It lent a real sense of gravity to the situation. Today the POTUS can put troops in harm's way any time he finds it to be the "right" choice. Today, I think, we have troops fighting, and dying, in places most of us are unaware of. I think the UCMJ still replaces the Constitution for all military personnel. It declares desertion in time of war to be punishable by firing squad. I knew that as a Navy man and accepted it as the most serious of contracts. If no war is officially declared then it is officially peace time. The death penalty is not in effect. All miltary folks today are volunteers who would (I'm guessing now) receive a Dishonorable Discharge if they decided not to participate any more and breeched their contract. If you join today's military you are signing up with an organization that can send you where they want, when they want without getting congressional approval and without declaring war. Would I join such a deal? No. If my country's leaders were to officially declare a state of war against a clear and present danger then I would join. Still, I appreciate the volunteers and career military folks who stand in the many gaps around the world and I don't think they should be looked down upon as killers and murderers. Should the POTUS be allowed to put troops in harm's way by executive order? I say NO! The military is not the POTUS' police force to be sent on beats all over the globe.Feb 19 2013: I think I would be in the jail cell beside you Grace!

I do NOT see this choice as hiding "your head in the sand", as you say Edward. For me, anyway, it would be a conscious, informed choice.
I agree with Allan in that there is no disrespect for you or your courage Edward. I do not agree with your previous statement Edward....."God gives freedom...". If this was true, she would genuinely, loving grant freedom to live in peace for all people, I'm sure:>)
Hopefully, we are evolving beyond the need to kill and torture people in the name of god or freedom.
Feb 19 2013: No, no, no, I did not mean the choice to not fight for your country was hiding your head in the sand. I was referring to the reality of hostile forces wanting to conquer your homeland makes it a necessary evil to take-up arms in defense. To deny that is to put too much hope in having evolved beyond the need for countering force with force and to bury one's head in the sand. I agree with TED Lover that God gives freedom, you disagree. OK. 7-billion people will generate more than one opinion. If a person who is capable and qualified to participate in the national defense says "I don't agree with the war" but allows others to go fight and sits home condemning those who go all the while being protected by them is the coward. You can hope all you want but war is a reality of 21st-century life.
Feb 19 2013: Edward,
Grace's statement is:
"I would much prefer to spend the rest of my days in jail for failure to kill/murder others."
Your statement is:
Enjoy the freedom to espouse your opinions young lady. We killed and murdered those who would have taken them away from you, so far. There is another way to look at war than to hide your head in the sand"
You are not suggesting that her way is hiding her "head in the sand"? That is what your statement looks like to me.
If this is not what you are saying, even though I've read your comment several times, I cannot see any other meaning, and your explanation does not make sense to me.
Grace wrote that she would rather go to jail than to kill others. She didn't say anything about sitting home condemning others....nor did I in my folllow up comment.Feb 20 2013: Sorry Ms. Steen, that's all I have. Thanks, as always, for your accurate synopsis and exhaustive analysis of my words.
Feb 20 2013: I am simply trying to understand your comment Edward. Yes....it is indeed exhaustive. You"re welcome.
Dorian Knus
Mar 4 2013: Run Forest, run!Feb 20 2013: I think we now more or less know the economics of war. If history is of any lesson, vastly many more wars were started for invasion rather than defense. India was involved in 4 traditional wars since its inception as a republic and I truly believe no side has won anything worthwhile, despite records of land gain and people killed.

I'd loathe to go to war or send my son to one and I don't believe it's because my son and I are cowards. It takes way more courage to fight against vested interests of wars on a daily basis.Feb 20 2013: Mathew

I believe you are right - if your country were invaded you would fight anyway.Feb 19 2013: If you had to go to war and went there you would become a different person.

Although education is the preferred tool to achieve freedom, sometimes war is a necessary evil to keep or achieve it.
I'm grateful to those who serve in the US and other military for freedom.
For the past 10-years I fight everyday my own war against a progressive disease, and not once has the thought of taking cowardly path been considered, instead I have and will always take the path of virtues no matter how hard it may be.
Hehehe; I guess you could say that I shoot/inject myself every day for my freedom and after that, shooting someone that wants to take it away sound easy.

Feb 19 2013: I would not "have" to go to war. Going is a choice.
- +1
Feb 19 2013: Freedom is not a choice. Freedom is an earned right which comes at a price. Almost always that price is physical combat with opponents. You can choose not to participate in that part of the process and let someone else go for you, but if they share your preference and everyone refuses to go, then kiss your freedom good-bye and enjoy the form of government your conqueror thinks you should have.
Gail .
Feb 19 2013: Freedom is FREE. War has its prices. Enslaving yourself to the will of the powers that be is a choice that blinds one to the real meaning of freedom.

It is wholly illogical to think that Free is something one has to buy. It is an innate birthright for those who know what free means.
Feb 19 2013: "Freedom is free". What a grand lie. How utterly illogical.
You actually believe that simply choosing to be free makes you free? Freedom is an "innate birthright"? How is that working out for the suffering,starving masses of Africa today? What makes you free is someone fighting to gain your freedom and to preserve it. You are beneficiary of war TED Lover. Condemn it all you like, after all, that's one of the freedoms it won for you.Feb 19 2013: "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin in Poor Richard's Almanac)
I cannot choose freedom for you or anyone else - even if I wanted to. I can only choose it for me. No one but me found my freedom and no one but me can experience MY freedom. No mercenary gave it to me or even made it possible. To use an equivalent you might possibly use, God gave it to me at my birth.
Of course, I define freedom differently than you, seeing as I am a woman who lives in the USA, and have very few of the freedoms you have. A white, male, christian defines freedom very differently than many others who do not share the same pro-military values.
Feb 19 2013: What freedoms do you lack as an American woman? Please itemize. A black, female, Islamic woman enjoys the same freedoms as an American citizen that any white, male, Christian does (and with Affirmative Action Initiatives she may even have a distinct advantage).
God gives freedom, it is Man who takes it away. If no one has taken away your freedom it is because your fellow citizens faced their fear and went to stand in the gap for you. They fought and many died to let you enjoy your God given freedom. You call that a bad thing for them to have done? You condemn those who make that choice today?Feb 20 2013: You are saying that God can give me something and man can take it away - and there is nothing that God (or I) can do about it? Rather an impotent God, don't you think?
Jesus said that ALL that you ask if answered. If you ask to see your own vulnerability, you will see it. If you ask to see your own power to protect yourself from harm, you will see it.
I am surprised that you would ask what freedoms non-christians are denied in the USA. How about the right to own our own bodies in most states? How about the right for homosexuals to have jobs that they are qualified for, or to marry? How about the right to adopt in many states - and what about the rights of the unadopted children created through such stupidity - who are cast into the streets homeless and penniless at age 18? What about the right to have my sacraments be legal or my religion to be a legitimate religion? What about my right to not be a slave to christian militantism - so that my labor is not required to support that which I view as ethically abhorrent. Jesus did say "Love your enemies" and "Do good to those who would harm you".
this is not because of any moral mandate. This is how one establishes one's safety in the most hostile of environments.
I do not condemn those who make that choice. Jesus said, "Judge not". I don't. I simply disagree. I have no gratitude for what they think is a sacrifice made on my behalf. That sacrifice is in their minds only. I do not want them to sacrifice themselves. I want them to live. Do you, a christian, have gratitude for my position?
Feb 20 2013: If you had to go to war would you be a coward?
QUOTE: "Rather an impotent God, don't you think?"--
All things are possible with God. That does not mean God does all things. His eternal decree is being worled-out as we live our lives. Just because he does not do something does not mean he is impotent. He is omnipotent.
QUOTE: "the right to own our own bodies in most states?"--
What specific "right" are you saying is restricted? Abortion? Sodomy? Bestiality? Sadism?, Child Porn? Etc.?
QUOTE: "the right to have my sacraments be legal or my religion to be a legitimate religion?"--
What specific religion and sacraments are you talking about?
Do I have gratitude for your position? No, because I have no definition of what your position is. Are you a Communist Witch, a Druid Goddess, a Tantric Temptress, a Nihilistc Revolutionary, a lovely Christian wife, mother, and Sunday School Teacher, a racist rabble-rouser? I can only guess. Narrow it down for me so I can answer your question.Feb 20 2013: No need to narrow it down. Your comment says it all. You have explained to yourself why I can't summon up any appreciation for the military or those who CHOOSE to do its bidding.
Clearly, you know by now that I am not a "lovely Christian wife, mother, and Sunday School Teacher", though I do base my life on the teachings of Jesus - as spoken by the man, not as interpreted by Paul.
As for your comment: "All things are possible with God. That does not mean God does all things."
OK, that's what you have asked for, and that's what you have received. I have asked for something different, so I have received something different. All that I ask is answered. I have learned to take care with what I ask.
Just because I do not value or appreciate your (apparent) service does not meant that I do not value and appreciate you. I just wish that all these mercenaries would stop trying to give me a gift that I never asked for, do not want, do not recognize as a gift, will never appreciate, forces me into unwanted slavery that they call freedom, and that undermines what I taught my children and what their parents are trying to teach theirs.

Australia has huge amounts of mineral resources anyway Iraq was invaded for only it's oil & it's all desert , we have a lot more than just oil resources in this country.

MathewFeb 19 2013: You didn't mention the sharks and crocodiles. I guess they're only a problem if you're a swimmer..Feb 20 2013: This is a hypothetical situation, when actual time comes how a person behaves can surprise you. Courage is not predicted , it is seen in action.
Mathew you are courageous enough to ask this question.Feb 20 2013: I don't think I'd be a coward. It would largely depend on how I felt about the cause I was fighting for. Also I would be oriented toward trying to survive the war, and if being brave meant I had a better chance to survive I'd be brave.
Does thinking you'd be a coward make you feel bad? Are you courageous in other aspects of your life? If not, how can you increase your courage if that's what you'd like to do?

This is a reply to Pat Gilbert I thought I would share with everyone.
I would fight for my own country like they did in both world wars, fighting for someone else's country &/or freedom!!!!........Hmmmmm…these days there's usually a reason other than freeing people.
If everyone just fought for their own country there wouldn't be any wars however we don't live in a world like that so war is a necessary evil I'm afraid.
Not too recently some of the boys came home from Afghanistan & said "what where we doing over there?", now these are trained professional soldiers not conscripts saying this, it's a bugger I lost the site address. I really feel for these blokes.
It is funny mentioning profiteering from war. After the WWII the big money lenders went into Europe & made an even bigger killing by lending huge amounts of money to European countries, a lot of this money they lent came from supplying war materials during the war but this should never take away from the soldiers who fought for our freedom, if it wasn't for the boys in WWII we wouldn't be here in Australia as the Japs soldiers weren't the nicest people back then.
Very few people like war but it is a necessity for us to live free on the other hand fighting for control of oil & other resources isn't in my mind quite right, only the big boys up top benefit from such actions & I'm not going to die for them even though they are also a necessary evil.
MathewFeb 19 2013: Everyone is a coward (apart from some deranged individuals). The sad thing about war is that the deranged survive and the sane usually die. War is a faulty selection mechanism, unlike competition.
Feb 19 2013: I agree war is faulty mechanism but the fact is that left unopposed it will realize its desired goal. As a combat veteran I always knew it was unfortunate that such carnage was happening. But I also knew that if I wanted America to endure so I could have tea with my grand-daughters it had to be done. Faulty mechanism? Yes. Avoidable? No.Feb 19 2013: Look I am a peace-time vet so I won't talk too much. Military training is designed to deal with that, Soldiers,etc. tend to be very young. Aren't there really worse things than to be dead? One religious story tells us that God rells a prince Arjaqna, the ways of a coward are foreign to heaven. In a modern war most are in the rear with the gear. Don't try to be some sort of comando if you really feel that way. My observation in the Marines is that to be a rifle platoon comander, a jet pilot, or a helicopter pilot is a small select goup.
Okay I worked as a lwyer so "I was pretty safe, but I was fortunate to get infantry training as all Marine officers did and probably still do. You look pretty safe now too.
In fact, many young men are unusable. Why even think of things like that except others have died for our freedom and experienced worse things?
Feb 19 2013: G'day George
I think it takes a special person to hack it even after basic training.
There are worse things in life that can happen I suppose like being raped by a mob of blokes which does happen especially in prisons however the thought of going to war still irks me but I'm well & truly past the age of being called up.
MathewFeb 19 2013: I think my answer would change over time. When I was young, I would have been in line to go. When my children were young, my priorities were different. I would have protected them under any circumstance. Now that they are older, there would have to be a real good reason for me to bust my a** that much.
Feb 19 2013: G'day Linda
When I was going to secondary school we talked about going to war & of course most other kids said yes about going but even then I said no way not because I'm a peace loving hippy or anything like that but I could just imagine the terror & my views to day haven't changed.
However like I said if someone invaded this country things could be quite different but I would be still scared out of my wits, not sure how young men do it.
MathewFeb 19 2013: I would be behind you every step of the way.
Feb 19 2013: G'day Pat
I wouldn't be waiting for you that's for surePat, I'm all chicken.
Feb 19 2013: All kidding aside, if you had to you would do what you had to do, after you were trained on the subject. Remember you don't want to die for your country you want to make the other bastard die for his country.
But war is way too often used as a money making activity. It is an investment made by the country with no return. The U.S. has been at war now for what 12 yr. WW2 only lasted 4 yr what is wrong with this picture?
Feb 19 2013: G'day Pat
I would fight for my own country like they did in both world wars, fighting for someone else's country &/or freedom!!!!........Hmmmmm…these days there's usually a reason other than freeing people.
If everyone just fought for their own country there wouldn't be any wars however we don't live in a world like that so war is a necessary evil I'm afraid.
Not too recently some of the boys came home from Afghanistan & said "what where we doing over there?", now these are trained professional soldiers not conscripts saying this, it's a bugger I lost the site address. I really feel for these blokes.

Eat, Pray, Love and Escape in Ubud
Home » Eat, Pray, Love and Escape in Ubud » Find Restaurant » Cafe Lotus
Cafe Lotus
The setting is magnificent even by Balinese standards: a large lotus pond framed by ancient flowering trees with one of Ubud's main temple complex, Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati, serving as a backdrop. One of the longest established restaurants in Ubud, it was taken over and upgraded by Lotus in 1990.
The restaurant's ambience has been preserved and enhanced with themes and flavors of the Lotus Restaurant concept. Here you can also dine the Asian way, seated on bamboo mats, overlooking lotus flowers in bloom, and 5 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) you can dine while watching performances of traditional Balinese dances and gamelan orchestras. At other times you may hear musicians in practice or witness one of Ubud's frequent temple ceremonies in progress. Surely, all this will make your visit an unforgettable experience.
Cafe Lotus has become a landmark in Ubud, the center of Balinese culture, and it comes highly recommended by guidebooks worldwide. The Cafe continues to be our most spectacular restaurant and it deserves to be included on your next visit. You will prove us right!

Gallery: Wave-Shaped Solar Cruise Ship Terminal Envisioned for Taiwan
Kaohsiung is growing rapidly as Taiwan's largest port city, which has created the need for updated infrastructure that presents a cohesive and modern face to the city. The new cruise ship terminal will blend its boundaries into a large urban park nearby. The arched building slopes down into a low-angled urban park, which doubles as a green roof for the cruise terminal and underground parking.
The cruise terminal tower houses multi-functional spaces, a conference hall, and office spaces with views of the water and surrounding port. Inspired by the form of a wave, the arched roof is covered in building integrated solar panels, which are used as a design element as well as for power generation. Oriented on an east-west axis, the terminal would take advantage of the sun as it moves across the sky.
South-facing windows avoid direct solar gain with an adjustable louvered wall crafted from reused shipping containers. The building's mixed-use space makes it a multi-functional addition to the city, and extra open built-in space will allow the terminal to be flexible for future uses.

I saw in Igros Kodesh 11, page 73 mentioned in the Chida in the name of the Yerushalmi that the name Ben Tziyon is a Segula for a long life and good years. What is the reason that this name has such a strength?

PHOTOS: The Best Green Designs at London's New Designers Graduate Show
In their Manifesto, the Goldsmiths University states that "a production economy based on finite resources does not work" and that "we have enough chairs (but is nice to sit down)." As a critical comment on the amount of chairs and other furniture we see coming and going every year through various designs shows, the renowned Goldsmith's created an all-white space to suggest the re-design design education and to think how it could look in 2020.
Lento, by Joanne Cone is a low-temperature electric cooker designed to teach kids how to slow-cook their own food. It comes with a recipe book full of cute and friendly characters, and a spice box for making all kinds of exotic, yummy dishes.

Submission + - Mach 20 and beyond? DARPA program to develop hypersonic flight ->
coondoggie writes: "Is it possible to develop an aircraft that can fly — and survive — at over 20-times the speed of sound? It has been an idea that has met with only minimal success over the years but that may change. Next month the big idea guys at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will hold a briefing to detail exactly what it expects out of a new program that will seek to develop hypersonic aircraft or missile technology. DARPA says the goal of its Integrated Hypersonics program is "to develop, mature, and test next- generation technologies needed for global-range, maneuverable, hypersonic flight at Mach 20 and above for missions ranging from space access to survivable, time-critical transport to conventional prompt global strike."

There are some designers that have put themselves on the map for their unique aesthetic, some for an irreplicable signature piece of clothing, and some, like Clover Canyon, for their interpretation of color and print. In fact, it's the brand's fantastical mixtures that excite us every time a new collection is set to debut. And, while our initial response may be something like, "Oo, pretty," what we most appreciate from this L.A.-based line is that its use of print does not lack depth.
For spring '14, Clover Canyon designer Rozae Nichols instantly cited "California" as her inspiration. And like surf culture was to The Beach Boys or beatniks to Joan Didion, this Californian focused on a specific part of her home: the architecture. Quite literally, too. Some of the standout pieces of the collection included blue-print covered skirts and coats, sourced from Escher GuneWardena, a Silver Lake firm. Other designs featured distorted images of modern home renderings and the Gehry music hall. Of course, while you may not be able to identify these landmarks at a distance, when observed up close, the clothing tells a whole different story. Perhaps that explains why we simply can't seem to put this book down.

The cooperation with our professional teams is very important for the development of our products. We work very closely together with the riders and mechanics to continuously improve our products. Their feedback is crucial for our R&D department. All teams ride with Ridley stock frames, which allows us to test consumer products in extreme conditions before they are launched.
At Ridley, we want to take our responsibility in the development of Belgian cycling. Next to the Belgian Lotto-Soudal WorldTour team, we also support the Walloon continental teams Wallonie-Bruxelles and Color Code-Aquality Protect. By doing this, we have created a training program where young talents from our many youth teams can grow to the highest level.
We apply the same strategy in cyclocross. Our two top teams, Telenet-Fidea and Sunweb-Napoleon Games, both have a junior team next to the elite riders. This way, young talents are given the opportunity to develop and learn from the pros.
The female riders are not ignored as well. Next to the Lotto-Soudal Ladies team, Topsport-Vlaanderen - Pro-duo - Ridley and Telenet-Fidea also represent our brand in the female peloton, and this in various disciplines (road-cross-track-MTB).

Scotts Mills Park on Butte Creek attracts many visitors from the metropolitan areas of Northwest Oregon. The warm water of Butte Creek, the swimming hole below the natural rock waterfall and the woodsy appearance of the park are features that bring people here for summer fun. The land was donated by Portland General Electric (10 acres) and Merle and Barbara Haskins (3 acres). Residents of the community were active in the early development of the park. Scotts Mills was the second park developed and dedicated by the Marion County Park and Recreation Commission in July, 1961. A federal Land and Water grant provided matching funds to pave the roads and parking area, repair a hole torn in the dam by flood waters, and pave the wading pool for safety. The Fish Commission, in cooperation with Marion County, constructed a natural fish passage which will enable the salmon to migrate upstream.

ST. MARYS - New federal legislation that reclassifies roll-your-own cigarette shops as manufacturers and all but prohibits the use of automated roll-your-own machines has resulted in the closure of many stores and left those remaining struggling to turn a profit.
Section 100122 of the federal Highway Bill signed into law by President Barack Obama on July 6 subjects owners of roll-your-own cigarette machines to the same licensing rules as corporate cigarette manufacturers and requires they tax their product at rates equal to those of packaged cigarettes.
Tom Lander, owner of EZ Rolling in St. Marys and Emporium, said the law has forced him to close the store's Emporium location, and the St. Marys counterpart is costing him money every day it remains open.

Check your wish list The Sony Handycam® HDR-CX220 may sit at the budget end of Sony's camcorder lineup, but it sure doesn't act like it. This is a camcorder that checks all the tick-boxes on your wish list: Full, lush 1080/60p recording? Yes. SteadyShot™ image stabilization that tames the shakes on zoomed-in shots? Another win. And don't forget, the 'CX220 records in both high-detail AVCHD 2.0 and Internet-friendly MP4, so you'll have the format you need for every occasion. Challenge buster With a high-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 27X zoom lens, you'll be set for all the shooting challenges you might encounter while traveling — or during family outings — or documenting sporting events. The camcorder is designed to perform with distinction in low light, while being handheld and zoomed in. An intelligent auto mode will take the guesswork out of camera settings, and dedicated scene modes will help you present specific opportunities, like sunrises, or fireworks, or beach settings, to their best advantage. Convenience and creativity The 'CX220 records to commonly available, inexpensive SD/SDHC/SDXC and Memory Stick memory cards. Keep several on hand and you'll never miss a fleeting moment.

And the camcorder will directly connect to an external hard drive without the need for a computer, for archiving your videos. 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 'CX220's handy playback controls, and display those files on your HDTV via an HDMI connection from the camcorder.

Yes No Sony Handycam® HDR-CX220 Written By Anonymous, Everett Wa. on Wednesday, July 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have enjoyed the simpleness of this camera-I feel that a movie card would have been nice with product. Also when you get it on sale beware of just the camera & nothing else-you get what you pay for--outside of that the camera as I said before is a great buy & you won`t be disappointed with it --TAKES GREAT PIC`S. & MOVIES... Pros: Great pictures--&Movies--light weight & easy to work & Handle--GREAT FOR ON THE GO & TRIPS Cons: No movie card & everything else is an accessory to buy separate--bummer 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Has what I need Written By Doug, Knoxville, TN on Thursday, July 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wanted a camera I could take with me skiing to get the shots that my Sony Action Cam wouldn't get. It has no bells or whistles. I wanted a zoom, got a 27x zoom. I wanted a screen to see what I was shooting and it has that. It's not a touchscreen, but it is exactly what I needed. It doesn't have a projector or a hot boot, but I didn't need that either. It shoots great footage and does very well in low light. It comes with a cable to plug it to my TV as well as a USB cable for charging on my computer. They say you get what you pay for, but for what I paid for this camera I got more. I'm happy with the purchase and got everything I needed without wasting money on a more expensive camera with features I didn't need. At this price, if I drop it in the snow and ruin it, it's still a great buy. Pros: Lightweight, good zoom, small and easy to carry and use. Cons: The battery only last over 3 hours and less in the cold, but I replaced the battery with a stronger one and I'm happy. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony HCR-CX220 Written By lead cinematographer of kids' performances, Denver, CO on Monday, June 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) love the convenience of the size of the camera and the ability to record to a chip, versus an internal HHD. Have had it for a month now, and have few complaints. Pros: the small size, the ability to record in Hi Def. Can't beat the cost for what you get. Cons: if the screen is open for too long, it falls asleep and you have to close it to cycle through it starting up again. Haven't found another way to "wake it up", battery life seems to be about 2 hours of record time 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Lightweight Handycam Written By WayneC, Palmer, AK on Monday, June 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent compact, lightweight cam recorder for travel and at home casual activities. Long overdue addition for our fire and casualty insurance documentation. Pros: Size and weight increase its ease of use. Compatibility with other Sony products for sharing recordings Cons: Small and hard to read function selector 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I found the audio to be exceed my expectations. The smile capture is a nice feature however I found the still pics to be of average quality. Great bang for the buck. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This could be updated once I've had the chance to use the camera and download the pictures. Pros: Ease of use Cons: Instruction booklet needs to be rewritten to make it understandable. Would be nice if a AC adapter would be included. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great lil camcorder. Written By Mike C, Joliet, Il on Sunday, May 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchase this Little Giant to document progress on the updating of our new house. From the ease of set up, to the ease of use, and on top of that the great picture it produces. I would recommend this camera anybody looking for a nice point and shoot zoom camera with a high definition quality picture. Pros: Setup, ease of use, the picture quality.

Pros: Clear steady video and good sound without using a tripod. It does not have a touchscreen, but utilizes a small button next to the screen to navigate through the menu which is very easy. Mini HDMI to HDMI cable included! Product only took one week to arrive at an APO address! Cons: Not really a con, but I wasn't prepared for how small and light the camcorder is! 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Best Value Out There Written By MRC, Setauket, NY on Thursday, March 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I spent a good amount of time researching the new 2013 camcorders from all of the major manufacturers. If you look at the history of past products from other manufacturers, Sony and Canon are the only 2 to consider. Canon unfortunately includes the worst batteries with their camcorders as last years models were lucky to get 30 minutes with stock batteries. The 2013 line ups it to a whopping 60 minutes. The included battery with the CX220 gets 90 minutes and there are plenty of aftermarket batteries which work perfectly in Sony camcorders for under $20. with that said the camcorder does everyting the average consumer needs without breaking the bank. The video is crisp and clear and the lcd screen is the same. I've recorded in outdoors and indoor low light settings and the video is perfect. I also like that the LCD screen is not a touch screen and the menu button is a snap to use. This is a great camcorder priced well below any other manufacturer with similar specs. Dont hesitate to buy it. Pros: Crisp clear video, ease of use, value for money Cons: None 33 out of 34 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens: The camcorder features a professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens designed specifically for compact camcorders. Zoom: The camcorder's maximum optical zoom depends upon the SteadyShot setting. With the setting at Active, the optical zoom is 27x. If SteadyShot is set to Standard or Off, the maximum optical zoom is 32x. In addition, you can magnify images further by extending the wide angle (32x 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. SteadyShot Picture Stabilization: SteadyShot picture stabilization system uses motion sensors to remove unwanted picture shake without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems. You can choose between Standard SteadyShot, Active SteadyShot, or Off.

Title: JPL Rapid Mission Architecture Neptune-Triton-KBO Study Final Report
Primary Author: Mark Marley
Institution: Ames Research Center
Date: February 1, 2010
Summary: This JPL Rapid Mission Architecture (RMA) study was not a mission concept study of a single mission, but instead was an architectural-level study of a set of missions to the Neptune system and, for some, continued travel to a Kuiper Belt Object (KBO). It was commissioned by three Planetary Science Decadal Survey Panels: Giant Planets, Satellites, and Primitive Bodies, whose diverse sets of science priorities made tailoring architectures to the science priorities particularly challenging.

Pink Friday (Edited)
Preview tracks
by Nicki Minaj
Released: Nov 2010
Label: Cash Money Records/Motown Records
Nicki Minaj is one of the best female MCs in ages, and she's bent on translating her talents into stardom. That means plenty of airy vocals and, in some cases, pure singing ("Save Me"). She's keenly aware of criticism from hip-hop purists: On "Fly," as Rihanna sings the chorus, she says, "Everybody wanna try to box me in, but I represent an entire generation." She straddles the line between hardcore rap and urban pop, bracketing each rhyme with radio-baiting hooks ("Moment 4 Life," "Check It Out"). Meanwhile, on "Roman's Revenge," she matches Eminem while transforming into a "dungeon dragon."

LR4 cooks CPU
January 03, 2013, 01:39:39 PM »
I have started to monitor CPU-temperatures when batch exporting photos from LR4. Not surprisingly the CPU gets very hot. Actually the temperatures are so high (90 to 100 degree celsius) that I am suspecting that batch exporting from LR4 can seriously reduce the lifespan of the computer. Nevertheless it explains why I recently had to turn off my computer during an batch-export because of a kernel-panic (screen that tells you to shut down your computer). I would like to reduce the CPU power LR4 requests for batch exports. Any ideas?

Laptops, macbooks especially, run very hot - they have crappy cooling solutions because of well, no space. It's quite normal for the i7 macbooks to peak above 100 deg. Yes, prolonged use will cut off some CPU life, but that's still far beyond how long you would be using the system - you're talking a decade instead of 12 year or so (rough example). As far as that goes you are solving a non-problem. Now if you are getting shutdown warnings, you have a hardware issue - possibly clogged fans and such. See Apple for that problem. Your system was designed to be pegged at 100% CPU and still run all day long - just hot

I'd agree. Laptops do run hotter than desktops. Lack of space for airflow and weak fans. Can't speak for Macs, but in Windoze you can assign how many processor cores are dedicated to any one application. Maybe check to see if there's a similar feature in the Mac world and restrict LR to 2 cores instead of all 4. It'll run slower but should be a bit cooler too.
Do see if there's some other issue with the computer as well that may be preventing cooling. Environmental factors can play a part too. In an old apartment I used to live in there was no A/C. In the summer it would get quite hot in the apt. and my desktop would routinely overheat and shut down. Make sure there's nothing in your workspace that could be impeding the airflow as well.

I have trouble believing the 90-100 deg CELSIUS!
My old quad core desktop heat sink was loaded with dust and my PC was shutting down on thermal protection before I realized it was due to dust. My PC was shutting down at 70-75 deg Celsius as I recall.
After blowing out the heat sink fins, the PC rolls along at 30-35 deg C, and under 100% load for extended periods (compressing Gb of files for 30+ minutes) it still never exceeds 40 deg C.
Looking at Intels web site, the i7 mobile processors have a max temperature of 105 deg C - your MacBook seems very close to design max T.

I'll admit that on occasion I revert to my old gamer geek status and play a little world of warcraft and I"ve heard my MacPro 2.7ghz i7 to the point the fans are pretty much full speed. I've checked temperatures at this point with iStat Pro, and have never seen the CPU get anywhere close to 100c. The GPU may get up to 70 or so, the CPU maybe 58 to 60.
being the curious sole that I am I fired up my Lightroom library and set to export 100 images simultaneously at 3 different settings. The fan's gradually sped up and the temperatures a little, but everything settled after about 4 or 5 minutes to @5000 rpm on the fans, and about 54C on the CPU and about 68c on the GPU. The process has been running for over 10 minutes now, and no temperature increase. Most of these are MFDB files so pretty large files. This is tethered to a thunderbolt display and laptop is closed which tends to make it run a little hotter.
So it seems your 100c is pretty high. I can't get close to that running multiple programs ... even running the game and 3 LR export processes.
I assume when you see 100c, your fans are running at full rpm (not sure what that is but seems to be 5500 rpm or so?) One issue with smcFanControl is it can limit your fan speeds (some people liked it to keep fans quiet) perhaps it could be bugged? The main use for that is to make your fans run faster than the default OS settings.
Just curious as to your export parameters ... I was basically just doing a resize and then a glossy sharpen setting.

the heat sink in my old Dell laptop got blocked with dust (bad design, hard to blow out) and the temp sensor would shut it down after rendering about 30 1:1 previews. i'm sure the shut down was well before it reached 100C.

My PC is stable on idle at 44c.
I run a 860/ 2.8ghz overclocked to 3.6ghz on air cool.
I do hit 98c sometimes (according to CoreTemp).
The ambient temp can get warm in the summer as the AC struggles. But I never had a warning.
I've been thinking about doing a CPU/MB upgrade...Newegg has the
i7-3820/10MB/120watt cache for $299
i7 2700K/8MBcache/$329...
Or is it worth doing 6 core!! :-)

Are you increasing the fan speed with SMC fan control? As pointed out, they do run hot. SMC will let you really crack up the fans. I use it when on mac side, and a similar tool when under bootcamp. They really get hot
under bootcamp as windows can't get to hardware level to control fans. This has been an issue since day one on the macbookpro and windows/bootcamp. Thank goodness for "speedfan" still works great.
I can't speak much to LR on the mac, but with Captureone7, once you start to process, you can watch the temp's climb and hear the fans kick on my 15". I tend to stay on the windows side for LR where it "she runs hot" as John Hiatt would say.
Since you are on Mac side, double check your SMC fan control settings. I have occasionally turned them back and not caught it.
Phil: One thought on the processor upgrade.
On your point, I would consider maxing your ram out. You are running great on the current processor, how much ram do you have. I just up'd my main box to 32GB from 16GB and with LR you do see some improvement, not
so on CS. LR seems to have better overall memory management. I am impressed that you are able to overclock that much and stay on air. You must have a big fan?
I am currently on a i7 3.4 not overclocked cooled by air and so far it's running great. 4 core 8 logical.

Goodness, now you have me frightened. It seems that I have been wasting my time taking photos, processing them, printing, exhibiting, and selling. I have never given a thought to my CPU temperature. Silly me, to ignore such an important thing. I shall immediately mend my ways.

So if you touched your laptop and it was really hot when running Lightroom, you'd just blow it off because you just want to be a photographer? I've seen laptops (both mac and PC's) completely fried by lack of attention to cooling. This thread is certainly not out of line if the OP is really seeing this kind of heat which would be obvioius by just touching it, and finding out what the temperature was and the fan speeds are with a utility is the first diagnostic step is to try and determine where the heat is coming from. Most modern laptops can report internal temperatures in several locations, and most have fans that vary speed based on those temperatures. Things can certainly go wrong.
I understand your point and in many threads it's quite applicable, but here it seems out of place.

+1 to Wayne's comment.
I have a PC overclocked to 4.4Ghz and I don't see temps any higher than 70C on heavy loads in LR preview generation or Export. Something is wrong if you are hitting 100C. It will really shorten the lifespan of your computer.
Is there any issue with dust buildup in your internal components?

You can not compare desktop CPUs in a desktop - to mobile CPUs in a laptop. They run hotter by design - that's normal.

I grow weary of Christian who on Sunday worship the Prince of Peace and the rest of the week align themselves with political perspectives that support warring with our enemies. I grow weary of Christians who pray on Sunday, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us," and spend the rest of the week holding grudges and seeking revenge. I grow weary of Christians who on Sunday profess their love for the one who said when you do it to the least of these you do it to me and then spend the rest of the week supporting politicians and political platforms that step on the least of these. "Just as you did it to the least of these," says Jesus, "you do it to me."
I grow weary of the cognitive dissonance in which some Christians blissfully exist, not realizing that while on Sunday they claim the moniker of Christ, the things they profess the rest of the week belie the teachings of the name they claim.
If you don't want your politics to match your religious beliefs, fine with me. If you don't need authenticity in the balance between what you confess on Sunday and what you profess the rest of the week, fine with me.
But do not pretend that you are practicing what you preach. Do not pretend that you are talking the talk and walking the walk. Do not pretend it is alright with God.
God expects a life lived with authenticity not a life lived practicing this kind of false duplicity. God expects us to strive to be the people we claim to be, not merely claim to be the people we are supposed to strive to be.
So, don't tell me that the things Jesus taught are naïve when placed within the realm of governance; don't tell me that they are good things to say. Tell me that your faith is big enough to take the first step into matching your Sundays and your weekdays. Tell me that you are so committed to the teachings of Jesus that you will risk loving your enemy. Tell me that the image of Christ is carved out in every face you see and that you could never sit idly by as politicians and big business conspire to step on the lest of these.
Tell me that God's love lives in you; that in you it knows no bounds; that it is bigger than any party loyalty and more valuable than anything wealth could ever bring you. Tell me with your words. Tell me with your actions. Tell me with your political positions. Tell me with your life.
