Great pocket low light performer, with some problems and lagging behind in some areas.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon PowerShot S95 10 MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Camera)
A star of pocket-sized, high image quality camera, S95 does have its problems. The software is a bit buggy as it crashes, lags, and even macro button not doing what it is supposed to do. The menu system is also extremely convoluted as it is an overgrowth of the same old powershot menu since 10 years ago--the structure should have been completely revised rather than layered with hidden tag-ons.
It also has flash control problems (pretty serious slow sync failures), pretty inept AF (hunts and misses a lot especially in low light), dead sensor pixels, subpar video quality, and the jpeg compression that generates a lot of artifacts (including low ISO's), something my older LX3 can easily trounce. The quality control as some mentioned here and elsewhere is also problematic, as there were dusts in the paints and scratch on the lens barrel trims on mine, not to mention hot/dead sensor pixels in both video and photo--hardly what you should expect for the money. Buyers should beware: despite the great name Canon has made for itself, they really have been taking advantage of this rather than building on it.
That said, there's probably no smaller camera with this size sensor (1/1.7"), not to mention it's also a Sony EXMOR backlit CMOS, which gave it such great low light capability (and probably also artifacts). However, any decent low end DSLR should easily beat its image quality, just out of physical property of the sensor size alone (this is still about 1/5 the size of a micro 4/3 chip, or about 1/9 the size of a APS-C as found in most DSLR or some newer EVIL cameras like the Sony NEX-5). It's not quite a DSLR replacement, but rather a pocket camera for sticklers who can't suffer loss of image quality along with weight and size. The perfomance to size ratio is unique to S95, even with all the aforementioned drawbacks.
Canon isn't my favorite brand these days because it appears to me that they've been lazying around for a while now just because they are Canon; i.e. they have loyal fans who are often blind to their faults, so they weren't even trying. To me S90/S95 was something of an exception, in that they sensed (or rather, forced to recognize) the desperate need for a low light, high image quality, yet still compact performer (which is surprisingly absent in today's saturated digital camera market), and responded with a semi-sincere effort. Like many others, Canon decided to employ a larger than average sensor for better light capture(average point and shoot sensor size is 1/2.5", S95 is at 1/1.7" which is almost 50% bigger area than average, and similar to LX3/LX5's 1/1.65"; still way smaller than APS-C or micro 4/3s but the latter would require much larger bodies. For an excellent reference and visual comparison of these sizes, search "image sensor format" in Wikipedia). Additionally, they seemed to have borrowed the excellent and innovative backlit CMOS sensor from SONY for even better low light capability. While these features aren't unique to S95, what made it stand out is how Canon managed to squeeze that with a fast f/2.0 wide angle barrel lens into a body that's barely larger than a standard point and shoot. (for size comparison, the upcoming and much larger G12 supposedly uses the same sensor found in S95).
I purchased a s95 because my outgoing LX3 was still too bulky (almost the size of a micro 4/3 camera with much less image quality to justify it), but otherwise I liked it a lot. I felt that Panasonic is so progressive and on point with their consumer camera line that Canon's by comparison is looking tired and confused. In fact Canon S90 was their answer to Panasonic LX3's phenomenal success in some ways, but screwed up big time when they didn't include HD video and had some serious ergonomic issues. Even S95's video looks a little contrived and noisy, which is one of my gripes. The lack of ultra wide like 23mm is also a glaring omission (though it probably preserves better optical consistency since it's so thin).
However, Canon's still has among the best colors (that other makes like panasonic just can't quite match yet, in general), and on S95 they threw in some nice exposure features like contrast enhancement that really worked in correcting tricky lighting situations by artificially extending the dynamic range. The auto pop up flash looks like the ones on Panny LX series, but it goes up by itself, controlled electronically via the menus rather than a mechanical toggle switch. I thought it was cool until it started pushing my fingers around, since it's located in a convenient place where one tend to hold the camera, and often so abruptly and forcibly it almost ejected the camera out of my hands.
There are some quibbles I--being somewhat anal retentive--have about this camera's quality control, something that seems to have been a constant nag with Canon's Powershots. Details like the paint isn't perfect on mine, with bubbles and hair/dust trappings in both of the two S95 I received (which is in stark contrast to Panasonic's impeccable finishes across their lines--and I've owned two LX3 and other lower end Lumix's), scratches on the lens barrel's metallic trims, and the CMOS showing some dead/hot pixels in RAW files (not the LCD display but the image sensor) uncorrected and unmapped (Canon admitted it's faulty and sent a service ticket). I had hoped being "Made in Japan" and a higher end pocket-able would mean extra attention to build quality from Canon. Alas, that evidently just isn't the case.
The AF performance is also remarkably poor, often missing the foreground subjects or faces even with bright light, or completely misfocuses in low light even with assist lamp. Despite that Canon's pocket cameras had suffered from this issue before, this is still surprising, not to mention frustrating, for a camera of this class (by contrast Panny LX series's AF certainly does noticeably better). Nevertheless, despite the less-than-tact-sharp lens and miserable jpg compression (that maybe circumnavigated by shooting RAW and post process in computer with software), the camera excels in high ISO performance, color saturation/accuracy, and exposure control.
The above referenced "miserable" JPEG compression is probably worth special mentioning because it really saps excessive amount of quality away from the original image as seen from the RAW files. Canon only had two JPEG compression modes (fine and normal), and both are equally horrible. I think it behooves you to try processing the RAW files (which isn't that easy as many popular imaging softwares still don't recognize the RAW output from S95 as of October 2010) and you will see how much detail is lost. This loss is expected in JPEG files, but in the S95 it's especially remarkable. I feel that they should have had at least a better compression mode or algorithm as the "fine" setting produced results that didn't do the camera justice--it can do much better, and it shouldn't require laborious RAW post processing to achieve.
The control rings are really a draw for me as I yearn for the traditional and straight forward camera controls. They do work, though not nearly as straight forward, since their functions often change depending on which level of menu or function you were at. You simply cannot take your eyes off the screen to figure out what is going on. It's still the same Canon interface that's been around since the first digital Elphs a decade ago, and frankly I'm thinking that should really be drastically updated or completely revised to fully take advantage of these two rings, which by themselves a great concept in the right direction. As for now, with the convoluted menu (there's main menu, and then there's a function menu, not to mention all the function keys with their own sub menu--like flash button--and in it more subset of control keys and wheel assignments: you get the idea) the control rings are really little more than (rather laggy and confusing) fast toggle key selectors, most of the time. That isn't bad, and with ample customization options it is arguably better than directional buttons, but it can really be so much more.
Battery life felt short out of the box, but it definitely improved after only a few charging cycles, typical behavior of fresh lithiums. It still felt short to me, as I often couldn't complete a day of shooting without the battery running out. However, I haven't been fair, as in the most recent excursion, it again ran out of power on me before I liked; yet this time I paid attention to the number of shots taken: I squeezed 458 photos out of it, many with daylight flash fill (high power drain bright flashes), slow sync indoor flashes, probably 20% with RAW(RAW copies not counted), 30% with exposure bracketing (3 consecutive shots), and almost a dozen short HD videos (highest power drain). I think even if it's not amazing, that's still pretty good and respectable for a camera of this size. Numbers are more convincing than my subjective feelings in this case.
I (and many others) thought it was a big flaw when it didn't have at least 720HD video on S90, when AVCHD is already making its way onto consumer cameras and many competitors already have very good 1080p (e.g. Sony's TX), ideally merging a dedicated HD camcorder and high quality photo camera. It's an improvement on the S95 that now it supports H.264 720p 24fps video in stereo, but for the price segment it was almost not enough. As a point and shoot S95 is probably an overkill (although the incredibly well engineered AUTO mode is nearly foolproof, or the very mission and purpose of AUTO modes); but if you want to play with creative manual controls, RAW capability, one of the best color processing, true pocketability, and don't mind the so-so HD video, it is truly one of the best pocket cameras on the market in absolute image quality and low light performance.
Update: 10/22
A few things that's worthy of a firmware upgrade, or at least users should probably demand for one:
- Besides the convoluted menu controls which really slows things down at times--exposure bracketing as another example, would require you to exit all menus (the button to exit can be menu key or set key or a combination of keys, depending on where you are, often leave you fidgeting just trying to clear the screen), click the exposure compensation key, and then click the display key for bracketing, and then rotate the wheel for bracketing range; after shooting, repeat to cancel--not exactly the easiest or fastest for a pretty important function, even with those wheels. It really feels like the dated menu of other powershot cameras, or the kind that threatens you with missing the "decisive moment" if you are ever presented with one. The response of the flywheels or the menu button also isn't very direct. There's a significant lag between the wheel or button click action and software response. It's like "rowing" through a menu list rather than wheeling through them, which kind of defeats the wheels' potential. In other words, the software is a bit slow (or euphemistically, "not fast enough") for a high(er) end camera. The pretty menu transition effects (yes it's minor but it's there) also gets in the ways of speedy response and should have had an option to remove (as on some other powershot models).
- Manual mode, in combination with live exposure preview, has become my favorite as the two wheels finally gets more dedicated functions as in classical camera setups, and allows this design innovation to truly shine--I can scarcely think of other similar sized cameras with better simultaneous shutter/aperture control. However, it crashed several times within the 3 weeks that I've owned it. The screen would just go black with the lens still extended, and I have to wake it up using the power button.
- The slow sync flash is extremely inconsistent. Sometimes using fill flash in low light background situations get better results which is very strange (as the shutter should be so fast that backgrounds should be darkened). I haven't figured out what rhyme this slow sync goes by, but it often wouldn't brighten foreground subject enough, or at all (it would look as if the flash was off, and I was certain the subject was within the flash's range), and other times washes out the foreground subject with overexposure. I have tried first or second curtain sync, adjusting flash power (which kind of worked but not always predictably), neither really worked. It should be much less painful than this.
- Ever since Digic 4, or probably even before that (but with DIGIC-IV processing being rather obvious), Canon's post processing tend to generate a smooth, glowing skin tone. I think this is one of those "innovations" several manufacturers (Fuji had one too, to the rave of Japanese/Asian beauty magazines) were able to pander to the public as a favorite feature of particularly (fashion conscious) females. It sometimes can miss, however, and make the skin tone look rather unnatural (or, without offense to those who like this feature, as if the subject's got dipped face down into a bucket of makeup). This is present on S95 as well. Even if it's not always as terrible, I sure hoped the post processing would lean towards verisimilitude where possible, particularly since it's a higher end model.
- Preview exposures on screen which is a very useful Canon feature that helps tremendously when you are trying to manually set exposure controls (by contrast LX3 didn't have this). However, exposure preview (via darkening or brightening the screen) would simply go away with any of the flash modes switched on. It's okay and makes sense since it's hard to predict the outcome of the flash without firing a test burst. However, in slow sync mode, and especially manual mode, it would probably be a good idea to give an option for preview since the background would depend on exposure settings rather than flash exposure. I can't find options in the menu to change this behavior. You are left with the meter which is still okay, I suppose, but it's just another one of those UI inconsistencies that you have to think on your feet to work around (e.g. when you got used to exposure preview, you may think because you can see the results on screen that it'll appear on flash photos, which is often untrue particularly for slow syncs).
- Wind noise filter in video mode doesn't seem to make any difference after some tests (and no I didn't always just blow straight into the mic to test it, but real life situations where it's often just a gentle breeze). As the mics are in the front, it's very easy to get wind noise in this camera. (11/7 addendum: tests reveal the wind filter is just a simple frequency equalizer, in that it reduces the mid-low bass frequencies typically present in wind noises; i.e. you still hear wind noise, but it has reduced bass frequencies.) That, and video compression can use some quality options, because while the results aren't horrible per se, they don't look as good as a 720p with autofocus should, even at 24fps. (also why can't they give us AF or zoom during video? I'm sure they CAN do that--CHDK was able to do it on basic Canon Elphs--and I wouldn't mind the AF/zoom noise as long as I can get the subjects in focus/frame.)
- The audio pickup from the two microphones are less than underwhelming. Despite being "stereo", the sound it picks up is completely devoid of bass, making everything sound tinny. I have tested it on full frequency range speakers, so I'm pretty sure it's not the speakers but the way the sound was recorded. I don't know how Canon managed that, as it's pretty hard to imagine what happened. **11/7 addendum: tests reveal that it's the wind filter, which seems to be just a equalizer that attenuates the mid-low bass frequency range that is present in wind noises (but you can still hear the wind noise, just not as bass heavy). For fuller audio range response, the wind noise filter needs to be switched off.
- a strange thing that I've discovered is that the macro button doesn't seem to do anything to the focusing range (in all modes; in AUTO it's supposed to auto detect a macro shot). In other words, I could focus down to the 5cm minimal distance with or without the macro mode on. It doesn't bother me, as it's more convenient than having to jump through hoops (of that dreaded menu) and take my eyes off the subject to get a macro shot. However, it can also be the probable cause of why AF hunts so much and misses so often. It also makes me wonder if the software is as finished as it should be. (the slow sync problem is also highly suspect)
Another few s95 differences/improvements from S90 off the top of my head:
the body is a nice matt/rough finish to help with grip (the same finish used to be on S90's top plate, now it's reversed with smooth finish on top of the S95 and rough around the body). it's like the Ricoh GR finish which I like.
the lcd adds glass panel for duability and dust proofing
the zoom toggle and shutter button is now specially shaped to avoid confusion
the rear control dial now has a clicky feeling to prevent accidental adjustments (which was the most complained problem in S90)
720HD H.264 video with stereo sound
hybrid image stabilization (2 axis instead of 1)
support of SDXC cards?
some claim a new sensor? but i doubt it. It's the same larger than average Sony EXMOR backlit CMOS sensor employed in several other brands' high end consumer models, credited for the superb low light performance.
The new HDR mode isn't really that useful, in that it really REQUIRES a tripod, as the processing cannot line-up the image thus any movement would render the results useless. Better off with just exposure bracketing and post process in the computer.
Some worthy competitors considered:
FUJI F300EXR - Also features a break-through sensor technology with phenomenal low light/high ISO performance, excellent wide angle optics, and manual controls. The innovative sensor is slightly smaller at 1/2".
SONY TX/HX series - Compact yet also with the EXMOR sensor technology employed in Canon (but smaller at 1/2.4"). Limited manual controls on some, TX's folding lens suffers in optical quality and no RAW capbility, but much better (incredible in fact) video and loaded with software shooting features.
Panasonic LX3/5 - Extremely well rounded high end "compact" camera that's quite popular and already a classic. Uses Panny's own inhouse sensor at 1/1.63" with excellent results. However it is significantly more bulky that it's not truly "pocket-able" except for likes of cargo shorts pockets; and with its popularity, significantly pricier.
Update: 12/16
Adobe Camera RAW 6.3 and Lightroom 3.3 updates are released. These updates support the S95's RAW format. This is important if you have been waiting to process all those RAW .cr2 images. It also resulted in a few things that I can observe:
- The proper crop information is supplied, resulting in raw files with cropped borders (seems to crop quite a bit, or the same crop percentage as the jpeg results; also distortion correction is applied, contrary to RAW files produced in some other cameras, like the LX), removing the large left black edge area which was previously present and showed some bright pixels.
- Proper color information is now readable, making post-processing much easier. Canon has one of the more accurate color information from RAW files, and relatively easy to process in my opinion.
As it is serving as my full time go-anywhere camera, this review maybe updated continually.

Thanks. I'd be interested in your experience as well. I also found that focus bracketing doesn't seem to work (still testing). It's a fine camera if they iron out the bugs, and I can't wait for a firmware upgrade.

Thanks. The manufacturers sure make you pay for RAW, seeing how it's really a software feature: CHDK enabled Canons-- or mostly before digicIII as Canon seems to have locked it out after digic 4--can all have RAW, even the lowliest A series, to great image quality improvements. The last generation A590is with the CHDK is probably the best bang for the buck of any consumer camera. Alas, that's no more.
I'm using it regularly. The roughened finish proved to be fairly durable (or just that it hides blemishes better), though the edges of smooth paint area are getting that shiny "patina" from wear. The seemingly little size difference between this and the Panasonic LX is immeasurable when it comes to putting it in your pocket: this is so much more portable and effortless. I do miss the Panasonic's 25mm lens, its sharpness, and the 1cm macro ability, but not the weight and bulk. I think the only other camera comparable to image-quality/size ratio is the Ricoh GR Digital, and that has its own limitations (especially price).
The mentioned problems remain a constant nuisance, especially AF and the seemingly high jpeg artifacts (that can be mistaken as noise) at all ISOs. I am still looking out for a firmware update, though RAW support is now available from Adobe Camera RAW 6.3 (and thus relevant products like Lightroom and Photoshop). I will follow up with updates if these problems see any improvements.

I really do appreciate reviews with mentions of comparable models. Thanks for your research.

If you need to convert RAW from a newer (or older) camera with no current Adobe RAW updates, download the Adobe .DNG converter. It will convert any RAW files to a .dng file which Photoshop (or probably Lightroom) can read.
Thanks for the great review! I wish there was some company like CNET that would highlight side by side what strengths each camera has. ( E.G. I care more about picture quality and speed than video.)

Re: Teacher Loan Forgivenes
Different situation....but some similarities...
I qualified for student loan repayment by the federal government for being a nurse practitioner and working in an underserved area. We have to give a 2-yr commitment for $60k in loan payment. I'm from a rural midwestern state, so I had no problem finding employment at one of the qualified facilities. Didn't have to move. In fact, I see the majority of my patients through telehealth from my own home.
I graduated in May 2010, and...hard as it was...I made only the minimum payments on my loans, even though I could easily have paid ahead. It bothers me to carry debt. The day before Christmas the feds deposited $60,000 into my checking account (paid off all my remaining balances). I was SO very glad at that point that I hadn't gotten all gung ho and paid those loans off faster.
I would seriously think about paying the very minimum that you have to until that loan forgiveness comes through. I was glad I had the patience to do so.

Background: Fluticasone furoate is a novel enhanced-affinity corticosteroid that has demonstrated favourable safety and tolerability in paediatric patients. Three pivotal phase III studies were conducted in children as young as 2 years of age; however, because the European Medicines Agency has recently approved fluticasone furoate for use in children aged ≥6 years, a subanalysis has been conducted to support safety and tolerability in the 6- to 11-year age group.
Methods: All three trials included in the subanalysis were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies: a 2-week US study in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR), a 12-week global study in patients with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) and a 6-week US hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis safety study in patients with PAR. Randomized patients received once-daily treatment with either fluticasone furoate nasal spray (FFNS) 55 εg (n = 297; 2-week SAR and 12-week PAR studies only), FFNS 110 εg (n = 321) or vehicle placebo nasal spray (n = 330). Safety assessments included clinical adverse event (AE) monitoring, clinical laboratory tests, detailed nasal examinations, monitoring of vital signs, and 12-lead ECGs. Ophthalmic examinations (12-week PAR study only) were conducted by an ophthalmologist or optometrist before randomization and at final treatment visit. Twenty-four-hour urinary cortisol (UC) excretions (6- and 12-week PAR studies) and serum Cortisol (SC) concentrations (6-week PAR study only) were assessed at specified timepoints over 24 hours as a measure of HPA axis function. In the 6-week HPA axis safety study in patients with PAR, 24-hour UC and SC samples were collected in a domiciled (clinical) setting.
Results: No unexpected safety results were observed in patients aged 6–11 years enrolled in the three studies. Across all three trials, AEs considered by the investigator to be drug related were observed in 10%, 7% and 8% of patients in the FFNS 55 εg, FFNS 110 εg and placebo groups, respectively. The most common AEs were headache (8%, 9% and 8% in the FFNS 55 εg, FFNS 110 εg and placebo groups, respectively), nasopharyngitis (5%, 6% and 5%, respectively), pharyngolaryngeal pain (5%, 3% and 4%, respectively), epistaxis (4% in both active treatment groups and 4% in the placebo group) and pyrexia (3% in both active treatment groups and 2% in the placebo group). Findings from nasal examinations were similar across the treatment and placebo groups. Ophthalmic examinations found no differences between the treatment groups for mean change from baseline in intraocular pressure (assessed in the 12-week PAR study only), and no posterior subcapsular cataracts were reported in patients in either FFNS-treatment group. In the 6-week HPA axis study, 24-hour SC geometric mean concentrations were similar for FFNS and placebo groups. The lower limit of two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for the treatment ratio was greater than the prespecified noninferiority margin of 0.8 (treatment ratio = 0.92, 95% CI 0.80, 1.05).
Conclusions: FFNS has a favourable safety and tolerability profile in patients aged 6–11 years with PAR or SAR.

My Macbook's harddrive is corrupt, and OSX no longer boots, but Windows does through Bootcamp. What is the best way for me to backup and restore my data?
- How do I backup Windows XP? (Can I backup and restore to a different sized partition?)
- Should I try to backup the OSX partition from Windows (what tool should I use), or should I just use my TimeMachine backup (a little out of date)?
Any advice would be appreciated.

NEW YORK - Mike Zimmerman has left college to start a Web design business with some friends in Philadelphia.
He's concerned, though, that the very technology he intends to make a living from also means someone else, far away, can do the same job.
"As far as this stuff is concerned, it can be done from anywhere," he said. "You really can't stop it. People are going to go where the cheapest prices are and the best quality of work."
With all the talk of white-collar jobs moving overseas, it's no wonder that Americans, particularly those just entering the work force, are wondering about the safety of their jobs and reassessing career and educational choices.
Career coach Michael T. Robinson of Careerplanner.com believes the best jobs for the future are the ones that require a worker's physical presence and can't easily be done remotely, like nursing, real estate and teaching.
Another route is to go for jobs that require a lot of skill, like music, acting or writing - these aren't likely to move overseas either.
Others, like John Challenger, CEO of job placement firm Challenger Gray & Christmas in Chicago, dismiss the idea that the offshoring phenomenon is worth the attention of those trying to pick a career.
"There may be some people mistakenly trying to figure out 'where are the jobs that can't be moved overseas?'," Challenger said, "but then they run into the fact that those jobs are also subject to job loss. Our environment today no longer offers lifetime employment."
Government projections show that some of the fastest-growing areas of the job market for the next eight years are ones that are hard to send overseas: health care, education, bars and restaurants, and government.
However, this continues a long-running trend. Service jobs have been growing the fastest because outsourcing of manufacturing jobs started decades ago.
The more recent phenomenon of computer programming work and call centers moving to India and the Philippines is not expected to have a major impact for the next decade.
Analysts at Forrester Research Inc. have estimated that 3.4 million jobs will leave the United States by 2015.
That figure is dwarfed, however, by the 21.3 million jobs the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the economy to add by 2012.
Challenger sees the current fear of white-collar offshoring as similar to the worry over blue-collar offshoring in the 1980s and the fear in the '90s that technology would replace jobs.
Of the new jobs, 20.8 million are expected to be in the service sector, compared to 770,000 in manufacturing.
The hottest job area is expected to be health care, which BLS sees as adding 3.5 million jobs from 2002 to 2012, due to an aging population and an increase in the number of treatable diseases. Doctors, pharmacists, veterinarians, physical therapists and nurses can all look forward to good job markets.
Jobs in education are expected to grow 20 percent by 2012, adding about 2.5 million jobs.
A lot of attention has been paid to jobs in computer technology moving overseas, especially to India.
However, observers still see huge domestic demand for software engineers and other technology workers.
BLS projections, which attempt to factor in the effect of offshoring, show the job market for people with computer science degrees expanding by about 160,000 per year until 2012.
U.S. colleges and universities produce about 55,000 computer science degrees a year.
No wonder, then, that Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates toured campuses this spring, telling students that while companies including his own are recruiting in India, that doesn't mean there won't be a huge demand for technology workers in the United States.
Jeremy Valeda, who recently finished his undergraduate degree in computer science at Ohio University, is preparing for the future by broadening his education with a more business-oriented masters degree.
"I'd love to be in management, and you can't outsource management per se," Valeda said.
Ultimately, of course, looking at tables and statistics of future job projections is not a very good way to figure out what to do with one's life.
"If you can figure out in life what you're meant to do ... which is very hard to do, then we think you're gonna be successful even in down market," as career coach Robinson said.

Find Polymer Clay Tutorials and More! www.TheHandmadeDaily.com
I am a 32 year old woman-child who loves to play with polymer clay. It's a long time love and just when I think I've mastered the ART! I learn something new;)
I am a believer in handmade! I once owned a small brick and mortar shop but lost everything in the recession. After all the dust settled from the initial shock of having lost my business, my cars, my home, and 80% of all belongings (which wasn't much because I am an anti-hoarder) I noticed something so awful........my family's situation wasn't out of the norm. I witnessed a significant decline in small businesses that offered handmade items and it was depressing. I decided to pull myself out of severe depression and go back to my true love.....well one of my true loves;) Polymer clay. I offer my items here as a way to offload material from the book I've written on Polymer Clay Appliqué and Embroidery which will be available March 29, 2013 for iBook, Kindle, and Nook readers:)
I have been married to my main squeeze WTF for, uh.....wow, 14 years. We have a daughter the same age (hmmm) and another who is an 11 year old Ninja! Our family is known for having, what's called in the business, a Good Time! We travel to waterparks and amusement parks across the nation and we record everything with our GoPro camera (which kicks arss;) and upload it to the wonderful world of YouTube for all to see!

Is there a way to customize the default WordPress Image Uploader?
In particular I'm looking to give the user the option of adding backgrounds and some (predetermined) CSS styling to images they upload without requiring them to know CSS/HTML/Etc.
I'm wondering if there is a way to do this, preferably without having to change any core coding if that can be avoided.

The John Hardin Bulldogs boys' bowling team made history and earned the respect of the region's top team during Tuesday's 2nd Region team tournament at Dix-E-Town Lanes.
John Hardin became the first area team to earn a repeat state tournament trip by placing second to Taylor County for the second straight year.
The Bulldogs showed they quickly have closed the gap on Taylor County, playing the Cardinals in the seeding qualifier within 43 pins (1,152-1,109).
Once the tournament started, the second-seeded Bulldogs rode their momentum and crushed seventh-seeded Nelson County (725) in the quarterfinal, 3-0 (219-106, 188-141, 183-171). That set them up with upstart Green County (944) after the sixth-seeded Dragons stunned third-seeded Thomas Nelson (971) in their quarterfinal, 3-1 (168-155, 165-135, 152-164, 136-134).
The Dragons were just as plucky against John Hardin as they were against the Generals, but John Hardin eventually emerged, 3-2 (183-201, 185-134, 139-201, 155-111, 192-150).
"They were really good and it came down to the wire with them," said John Hardin sophomore Aaron Gunter, who was the youngest member of the Bulldogs' State team last year. "I never think I had to work so hard for something as I did in that match."
John Hardin coach Mike Moritz admitted Green County, which had three girls bowling for it to fill its numbers, made the Bulldogs anxious.
"Green was a slugfest and I was really impressed by them," Moritz said. "I guess we were fortunate to have played them when did, because we saw them in the second or third week of the season and just dominated them. This time, we needed to fight to get everything we needed to win."
While John Hardin was slugging it out in the bottom bracket, Taylor County was in a groove in the top bracket. After receiving a quarterfinal bye, the top-seeded Cardinals cruised to a 3-0 win (230-166, 217-212, 213-182) over fourth-seeded North Hardin (966) in their semifinal. North Hardin advanced with a 3-1 win (157-177, 188-149, 175-145, 208-160) over fifth-seeded Central Hardin (957) in their quarterfinal.
Taylor County's groove quickly came to a halt and the Cardinals found themselves winless through two games against the Bulldogs.
"We never gave up. We knew we had to stay in it. We just had to take it one frame at a time and one ball at a time," said Taylor County freshman anchor McKinley Knopp. "We knew it wasn't just going to be handed to us. We had to work for it and it's a blessing to be able to bowl with all of these guys."
With eight of their previous 10 games being 183 or higher, the Bulldogs came crashing down against Cardinals as Taylor County rallied for a 3½-1½ win (179-191, 178-178, 200-143, 164-124, 189-165).
But the Bulldogs had done enough to gain Knopp's respect as he congratulated and hugged most of them after the trophy presentations.
"I told them that we'd see each other again at State," Knopp said. "It was a pleasure bowling against them."
Moritz said the growth the Bulldogs showed in last year's postseason helped them this year, and should keep them calm next week.
"The gains we made from last year to this year are huge," he said. "They will be an asset for us going back to State."

Raja SenExactly. Hear, hear. It's shameful that we have to record the prize-giving separately and the performances -- with a few changes of costume etc -- separately from the ceremony itself. Ugh.
karteek mvsImagine our Filmfares without having an SRK perform, or any of the beautiful ladies not dancing on the stage. In India, popular awards cater to popular audience and hey, thats where the money is
Raja SenYou're preaching to the choir, Gaurav. We all want awards we can believe in. Both we the audience as well as the actors who currently strike deals to win awards -- I'm sure they'd much rather have an award they can respect. But all the awards shows end up making the same mistakes and having the same sordid set of priorities. It's most depressing.

Microsoft can use all the help it can get right now. Nearly three years following its launch, Windows Phone's share of the global smartphone market now sits at just 3.2%, according to market research firm IDC. Nokia's new $650 Lumia 1020 is an impressive camera phone, but the odds of it helping Microsoft's cause likely aren't good ? at least not until the price comes down. What may help, however, is getting more vendors on board with Windows Phone 8, and LG is currently working on its first Windows Phone 8 smartphone, according to a recent report.

A 5-hour history of the greatest bands in Hard Rock history.
This is the best. They must have played this 500 times, but every time it is on I have to watch it. It's not often you get to see all these great heavy metal bands on tv, and it is nice to see them treated with some respect. Like a lot of other people, I grew up with these guys. They were a major part of my high school and college years. And as a guitar player, I can tell you that their talent is surely no joke, even if the hair and clothes are a little ridiculous now. I think every guitar player from the 70s on learned `Smoke on the Water' as their first riff. It's good to see legendary rock gods like Richie Blackmore and Alice Cooper get their due. And it is nice to remind the kids who are watching MTV today that Ozzy was the man (both with Black Sabbath and on his own), long before he was Jack and Kelly's bumbling dad.

Ride to Hell still in development, according to report – rumor
Ride to Hell, the action-adventure announced by Koch Media in July 2008, is still in development, according to Playnews.
We reached out to Deep Silver earlier today and have yet to hear back so we waited to run the news. Instead, we will keep this listed as a rumor until someone gets back with us.
According to a tip we received in the mail, the news comes courtesy of senior communication manager Martin Vein. The title was cancelled in 2009, but Wein reportedly said and announcement on the game's status "will be made in the near future."
A few Linkedin profiles indicate the game is in production for PS3 and Xbox 360, and a CastingCallPro profile reports that one of its actors will provide the voice of Caesar in the game,
Massive Black has also posted some unpublished artwork for the game.
Ride to Hell was announced as a multi-platform title set for release in 2009 and is "set in the last years of the roaring 1960's, a time of Sex, Drugs and Rock 'N Roll."

I found this insert interesting from the book "The Games That Changed the Game" by Ron Jaworski. In it he is talking about the 1981-82 season divisional game against the Giants, the one before "The Catch", where L.T. was defensive rookie of the year.
"Walsh realized that L.T. could not be blocked with tight ends or backs, and left tackle Dan Audick didn't match up well physically with Taylor. So Bill turned to left guard John Ayers to stop the rookie linebacker. Ayers was instructed by line coach Bobb Mckittrick to "Molly" block, a technique that asked the guard to pull, or pop up from his interior line position to ward off an outside pass rusher."

Airlines Seek Policy Reforms, But Congress Is, Well, Busy
When it comes to bankruptcy, the U.S. airline industry has frequent filer status. All of the major carriers (except Southwest Airlines) have made at least one round trip through bankruptcy court.
This year, however, the industry is getting stronger. Thanks to a hefty fees for bags, flight changes and leg room, airlines are finding ways to squeeze out modest profits.
But airlines insist they remain over-taxed and over-regulated – and under-appreciated. On Tuesday, the industry's trade association – Airlines For America – invited journalists to the National Press Club to hear more about the case for a "national airline policy."
As part of a campaign for such a policy, Nick Calio, CEO of A4A, and Dave Barger, CEO of JetBlue, released a video, featuring the two of them kvetching about Congress. They say that for a $300 ticket, a passenger must pay $61 in federal taxes. "That's too high," Calio says.
The trade group wants Congress to: 1) cut aviation taxes 2) reduce regulation 3) update the air-traffic-control system 4) push for changes that would allow U.S. carriers to compete with foreign carriers and 5) develop more energy sources to reduce fuel costs.
A4A's latest plea for attention came at a bad time for lawmakers, who already were quite busy over on Capitol Hill – wrestling with the legislative joystick and perhaps pushing the entire economy into a nosedive.

On the home page where the square pictures are located, how do you make the entire square a hyperlink? Meaning as soon as you scroll your mouse overtop the picture and it zooms in to the description when the Read More button appears, how do you make it a hyperlink as soon as the mouse passes into that area?
On top of that, how do you remove the Read More button from inside that square once the picture zooms in and the description shows up?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
