Single Again, At Sixty
By Jill Brown
If men are rumored to get the "seven year itch" after marriage, then perhaps women are experiencing a similar phenom; the twenty-seven year itch. With all the high profiled splits happening in the press lately, the Beatles may well have been channeling Nostradamus when they sang, "will you still need me when I'm 64?"
As Al and Tipper Gore's join the ranks of the recently divorcing – many of us are wondering what's going on here? In some couple's divorces, the reasoning is obvious and understandable. If you were Elizabeth Edwards would you have stayed in that marriage? Probably not. What about Robyn Gibson? We kind of 'get' the reason for her split from Mel. And don't even get us started on agreeing with Morgan Freeman's long time partner and wife, Myrna Colley-Lee leaving that union ("You want to date your twenty-seven year old step-granddaughter?! Uh, yeah, I'm out!").
However in couples like the Gores or even Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins where the pair seem to have no obvious "reasons" to break-up, many of us are asking, "why now?". Why after so many years of coupledom are partners deciding to split later in life? Is it the length of the marriage or is something happening with women in their sixties wanting to be free and instead of asking, "why now?" they're starting to ask, "Why not!?"
It turns out both may be the case.
Many experts point to the fact that age definitely may factor into the decision to end a marriage. Today's average woman is more financially independent, more likely to have her own career and more likely to be inclined toward independence. Life spans are longer and woman are much more free to lead their own lives now than they ever have been. So while women before may have stayed in long term marriages because their fifties and sixties were for golden days of retirement and porch swings with the grandkids, today it seems this is simply no longer the case.
Brenda Della Casa, dating coach and author of 'Cinderella Was A Liar' explains, "Once the children have left the house and women are given some time to really sit and take inventory on their life, marriages come under scrutiny. If a woman in her fifties or sixties is unfulfilled, she is more likely to be vocal about it than a woman in her twenties might be. When you are younger, you're more likely to stick around because you think you have time – and experience has not yet shown you that sitting around, waiting for someone to change can lead to massive disappointment."
Clearly women today are leading longer lives and enjoying more freedom to leave marriages that simply are no longer happy or needed. Another possibility with these long term marriages ending is that the relationships are simply complete. Ending doesn't necessarily always mean failure.
As Ms. Della Casa says, "Its a fallacy that people who are deeply in love never fall out of love. Staying together 'for the children' is nice in theory but two people who are living in an unhappy marriage are two people who, as they grow older, will be filled with hurt, resentment and regret. I think, as men and women age, their mortality becomes more apparent to them and they have more fire to live authentically."
This certainly seemed true of my own parents, who after twenty-seven years of marriage decided to divorce several years ago. It was a decision made primarily by my mother who had long been unhappy with the partnership but didn't feel she could divorce earlier (not wanting to upset her kids). With her children grown and gone, she felt more free to move on to the who's, what's and why's of what made her truly happy in life, outside of just raising her children. She was able to experience a new role that expanded beyond the realm of just a wonderful mom; she got to be a beautiful, dynamic and adventurous woman too.
Another possible explanation for the splits is that in our increasingly independent and individualist society, couples are simply choosing to grow apart and invest in themselves more than in continuing a marriage. Dr. Pat Webster, Ph. D, R.N., clinical psychologist and author of 'Winning at Love; The Alpha Males Guide to Relationship Success' says, "Many couples, especially in later life when the children have left the nest take a look at their marriage and wonder what is left. We often hear catch-words such as, 'We grew apart.' What may be more true is that couples can get so engrossed in the work and tasks involved in raising children and/or building or supporting one or both partners careers that they forget the important work, yes, and tasks, necessary to keep a marriage growing, passionate, juicy and alive. Working shoulder to shoulder to get jobs done doesn't make a marriage work. More is needed."
This certainly seems to be very likely the case with the Gores, who have raised four children and enjoyed (his) successful Vice Presidency and political career. Dr. Webster gives more insight into the dynamics of some types of marriages when an 'Alpha' (male or female) is involved, "they can get so caught up in really big projects out in the world that they forget to attend to their marriages. Alphas dream big. And they often have the connections, charisma and skills to successfully achieve their dreams. This is true of one or both of the partners in many of the broken marriages that we are witnessing, such as Al and Tipper, John and Elizabeth, Tiger. Yet these big dreams can often crowd out space that a marriage needs. Alphas can take the marriage for granted, or, worse yet, consider it to be second in importance."
It seems that no matter the reasons, divorce is much more common than it ever used to be and the duration of the marriage is no indication as to it's likelihood to last ( a 2008 statistic from the US Census Bureau reported over 25% of divorces that year were marriages of twenty years or more). Like so many things in life I believe it's the viewpoint we choose to see our world from that makes the difference about what we're observing.
On the one hand the recent divorce announcements in the press can be seen as a sad end to a long term commitment that used to mean until 'Death do us Part.' On the other hand we can see these divorces not as the end, but rather a completion and can witness the progress in women who choose to leave a marriage and not repress their needs to stay in an unhappy union. Women of all ages are increasingly single minded in their determination to create their lives and are make the most of their experiences; single, married or otherwise.

At the age of twelve, I wanted to be an astronaut, but NASA wasn't interested in astronauts who suffered from motion sickness. So I set my sights on Broadway. No go. Broadway only wants singers who can sing and dancers who can dance. Who knew? Lucky for me, I enjoyed drawing. Luckier still, I was good at it. I settled on art school and a subsequent career as a writer and designer in the consumer crafts industry. Then I got the urge to write fiction, and a new career was born.

Who could pass up reading an intriguing collection of 10 full-length cozy mysteries featuring murder, mayhem, and zany capers from amateur female sleuths?! Since I enjoyed reading all ten mystery tales in the Sleuthing Women Collection, I decided to only provide a general book review instead of individual reviews. Sleuthing Women is an eclectic collection of first-in-series mystery collection from authors Lois Winston, Jonnie Jacobs, Judy Alter, Maggie Toussaint, Camille Minichino, RP Dahlke, Susan Santangelo, Mary Kennedy, Heather Haven, and Vinnie Hanse. Each mystery story has a balanced mixture of murder and mayhem that will appeal to everyone. Each of the authors weave an intriguing, unique, and thoroughly enjoyable full length mystery with engaging characters, a variety of settings, and enough drama, humor, mystery, and suspense that will easily draw the reader into each story, keep them turning the pages, and leave them wanting more. Sleuthing Women is the perfect first-in-series mystery collection that will certainly peak your interest, and whet your appetite to read the rest of the mysteries in each of the individual authors' series. Disclaimer: I received a copy of the book from the authors in exchange for my honest review.

From Interest-Based Balancing to Rights-Based Balancing: Two Models of Balancing in the Early Days of American Constitutional Balancing
Iddo Porat
College of Law and Business
September 2007
Balancing tests are ubiquitous in current constitutional law. This Article reviews the development of constitutional balancing over the first five decades of the 20th century and identifies the formation of two types of balancing during these years: interests-based and rights-based balancing. Since these two types of balancing are still present within current constitutional law, this review may also help in better understanding balancing today.
The Article attempts to show how the early development of balancing in the early 20th century by legal Progressives such as Holmes, Pound and Cardozo, was related to their criticism on the jurisprudence of rights, and their emphasis on a jurisprudence of interests. Balancing meant for the Progressives that rights were lowered to the status of interests, and that the Court had to balance them with other interests, rather than use them as trumps against public policy considerations. Later, however, balancing was used hand in hand with a heightened rhetoric of rights. The Article attempts to place the change from interests-based to rights-based balancing in historical context (in the change from the Lochner era to the post Lochner era) and explain its meaning - mainly its correlation with judicial activism (rights-based) and judicial deference (interests-based) and its interrelation with the ideas of judicial formalism and anti-formalism. Finally the Article suggests that the original interests-based model may have been more adapt to the anti-formalist movement from which it sprang, and to the metaphor of balancing itself, than the later rights-based model.

Never more, duck was without meat and mussels weren't good. Side dishes are not included in meal priceses and with beer for 200 you will be surprised how much you will pay for such a bad dinner. :/
Opposite the public beach , a nice setting(the expert eye will notice the worn out furniture,windows,etc, it means it is at least 10 yrs old)The food is ok, typical chinese but overpriced,the same is available at his competitors for 30% less or more...at those price it should have been ship shape not on the verge of crumbling...
Waiter was run off his feet! He did well but the food was terrible. Do not bother . I could not believe that people even ate here
Service was really slow, waiters were rude, food was disgusting.... DON'T GO THERE! There are many places that are less expensive and better!
Favourite place to eat. The mine frit ( Chinese fried noodles ) and cold Phoenix beer are highly recommended, with views out over the beautiful beach of Flic en Flac. Choose an outside table. The service is always good and the food served promptly by friendly waitrons.
really bad restaurant. not recommended at all. horrible fried noodles. service is super slow.not welcoming staffs
Stopped in for a late breakfast. Pleasant enough place and people, food not too bad either.
We ordered Croque Monsier's but what we actually got were toasted cheese sandwiches. I know that they technically not that different but really they are, aren't they. Anyway it was tasty enough just different to what I wanted, also service was relatively slow considering...
We visited after a great dive in flic en flac starving and had to wait over 40 minutes for a burger and chips and a mixed grill. When the food came it wasn't great. No atmosphere.
6 of us visited at 8 pm on a Tuesday.
Restaurant about half full. We were shown a table on the terrace and given menus. After about 10 minutes another waiter came and took them away. We asked another waiter if we could order. He promptly went to get menus. We managed to order and waited about half an hour....
Sorry to be so blunt with the title, but this restaurant was really bad.
The service initially feels ok, but it soon felt really uncomfortable how they were pushing you to choose their most expensive dishes. They simply added rice (at cost) without mentioning. The food was horrible, tasteless and really overpriced. We really felt scammed and will not go...

If you're feeling weighed down or disillusioned by mainstream foods and diets and need a trusted guide to completely refresh your body and mindset, "The Raw Food Energy Diet" is for you. According to Natalia Rose, everyone is entitled to a beautiful, lean body, youthful, radiant skin, clarity of mind and purpose, and a tremendous inner joy. The secret is tapping into our Life Force Energy. Rose reminds us of an age-old principle that is tragically overlooked in the modern world that we are dynamic, energetic, vibrational beings. If we can properly harness and increase our Life Force Energy through dietary and environmental principles, and therefore cleanse and bring our bodies back to their natural, harmonious frequency, we can experience radically improved levels of health, beauty, and happiness. Low-energy foods, stress, emotional pain, anger, and environmental toxins block us off from our natural state of health and vitality.Rose presents the virtues of incorporating more raw foods in our diets and eliminating waste from our bodies and lives, much as she did in her previous book, "The Raw Food Detox Diet", but now within an excitingly progressive, holistic framework. "The Raw Food Energy Diet" will inspire, enlighten, and bring comfort to anyone who is mired in destructive patterns of poor eating, unsuccessful dieting, stress, and lethargy. The Raw Food Energy principles show us how to tap into sources of Life Force Energy and lay the groundwork for Rose's 21-day program, followed by nearly 80 original, mouthwatering recipes.

Prevention & Recovery

Prevention & Recovery
Meet your body's good bacteria
On your skin
You might associate bacteria on your skin with blemishes, but, surprisingly, most skin (as well as sweat and oil gland) bacteria are beneficial, says Tetro. Some strains might even help keep skin healthy and prevent acne.
And it's not just bacteria. "There are viruses, fungi and even mites that choose our skin as their habitat," says Dr. Shannon Humphrey, cosmetic dermatologist at Carruthers and Humphrey and clinical assistant professor in dermatology and skin science at The University of British Columbia.
All those microbes keep our immune system on alert for invaders, explains Dr. Humphrey. And since skin is our barrier to the outside world, a strong defence is important. "Having the right balance of pathogens on the skin keeps the immune system primed," she says.
What you can do
Avoid antibiotics whenever possible. Because they kill both good and bad bacteria, antibiotics may lead to a microbe imbalance, with just one or two species taking over.
Keep clean. Eliminating excess sebum will prevent an overgrowth of the bacteria that like to feed off oils, says Tetro. But, Dr. Humphrey cautions, be gentle: "Some of these abrasive, astringent scrubs or exfoliants can break down the skin barrier, and the skin barrier is an important line of immune defence against bacteria."
Move it. Working up a sweat through regular exercise is a good way to dilute the skin secretions that some bacteria thrive on, says Tetro. And since sweat can promote friendly bacteria, it's a good idea to swap antiperspirant for a natural deodorant, such as The Green Beaver Company Wild Rose Deodorant Stick or Weleda Citrus Deodorant.
Wash your hands. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, which can kill bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. But steer clear of soaps that contain triclosan, which can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
Feed your face. Consider eating live-culture yogurt, which contains bacteria that may help your complexion. Dr. Humphrey says the science is still too early to confirm whether probiotics can benefit the skin, but the research is promising.
In your mouth
Microbes in your mouth are usually linked to gingivitis, tooth decay and bad breath, but, Tetro points out, there's a lot more going on in there. Plaque, for instance, is a community of good and bad bacteria called biofilm. "The community, when it's stable, prevents other organisms from colonizing," says Dennis Cvitkovitch, microbiology professor in the faculty of dentistry at the University of Toronto. But start eating sweets and the bad microbes in the community can multiply. Those bacteria feed off sugar, and then produce lactic acid, which can make your mouth acidic, dissolving enamel and leading to cavities.
Since the mouth is the first stop in the respiratory and digestive tracts, keeping your oral bacteria balanced helps prevent troublesome microbes from invading other areas of the body. Some research has linked unhealthy mouth microbes with a higher risk of sinusitis, says Tetro, while other studies suggest these bacteria can enter the bloodstream, potentially contributing to problems like cardiovascular disease.
What you can do
Lose the sweets. Reducing dietary sugar helps control cavity-causing bacteria.
Chew on this. Chewing gum is a good short-term strategy for purging unwanted bacteria. Tetro recommends chewing a sugarless variety for about two minutes (after which the gum may lose its stickiness). Xylitol-sweetened gum is a particularly healthy treat for your mouth microbes because the sugar-like molecules feed healthy bacteria and starve harmful bacteria.
Brush up. Regular toothbrushing will help banish smelly microbes and remove the biofilm and the sugars that feed bad bacteria, says Cvitkovitch. Sure, the biofilm will regenerate, but regularly brushing and flossing it away is nevertheless important; bacteria that stick around and mature are more likely to get under the gums, causing gingivitis and periodontal disease.
In your gut
Stomach bugs can be a good thing. "There are things your body cannot break down to digest, so bacteria enjoy doing this for you," explains Tetro. The microbes convert indigestible fibre into beneficial chemicals and help synthesize vitamins. They also help us metabolize food properly and coat the intestinal lining to crowd out unwanted pathogens. Bonus: Certain bacterial species act as mood-boosters by producing the feel-good brain chemical serotonin, explains Tetro.
Of course, not all gut bacteria are friendly. "Poor diets that are high in refined sugars and fats interact with gut bacteria to stimulate the immune system and alter the composition of bacteria in the gut," says Michael Surette, professor and Canada research chair in interdisciplinary microbiome research at McMaster University in Hamilton. All of this can lead to inflammation throughout the body, which has been linked to obesity, chronic disease and mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression.
What you can do
Mix it up. Eating a varied diet with plenty of fibre will help ensure that you're feeding those good microbes.
Boost those bacteria. Consuming fermented foods, which contain healthy bacterial cultures, is a great way to help keep your gut balanced with plenty of friendly microbes. Try live-culture yogurt, kefir, raw sauerkraut, kimchi and kombucha. And don't forget that other common (and delicious) foods such as unpasteurized honey and dark chocolate with probiotics are good choices, too, notes Tetro.
Get your greens. Include lots of plants in your diet. They have natural antimicrobials to help rid your gut of bad microbes.
In your vagina
Millions of microbes keep the vaginal walls healthy by crowding out potentially harmful bacteria and yeast, but that's not their only job: Certain bacteria produce lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which help regulate pH balance, allowing friendly microbes to thrive and banishing the bad guys. A lack of good bacteria, meanwhile, leads to an overgrowth of other microbial species and to associated problems, like yeast infections.
What you can do
Pop oral probiotics. These can help create a healthy vaginal microbiome. And contrary to what you may have heard, don't treat a yeast infection by applying yogurt down there; Tetro says it's best to stick to oral supplements.
Avoid antibiotics. Sometimes, of course, you need a round of antibiotics to kill an infection, but if you can avoid them, your yeast-infection-free vagina will thank you.
Shield yourself. While friendly bacteria help protect against pathogens, that doesn't mean you can skip other means of protection during intercourse. Tetro says condoms are important not only to prevent pregnancy and protect against STIs but also to keep bacteria out of your urinary tract.

It's half of him, thanks to some completely insane VFX. Advertisement Via The Hollywood Reporter:...Nymphomaniac producer Louise Vesth provided a sneak peak into what we can expect. Vesth confirmed that the doubled-barreled feature will include graphic sex scenes between the members of the all-star cast including Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard, Shia LaBeouf and Uma Thurman.For the truly hard core elements of the film von Trier used body doubles for the stars. But, Vesth revealed, the Danish director will use digital technology to superimpose the actor's non-explicit displays with the pornographic performance of the doubles."We shot the actors pretending to have sex and then had the body doubles who really did have sex and in post we will digital impose the two," Vesth explained. "So above the waist it will be the star and the below the waist it will be the doubles."My condolences to everyone who was looking forward to seeing Shia's Boeuf-log.Reply90 repliesLeave a reply

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump's job performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 37% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 40% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -3. (see trends).
Regular updates are posted Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).
Forty-six percent (46%) of voters think the country is heading in the right direction. This is the fourth week in a row that this finding has been in the mid-40s after running in the mid- to upper 20s for much of 2016.
Voters have long complained that President Obama was not sending illegal immigrants home fast enough. Now with Trump in the White House, they're worried that too many people are being deported.
The president is expected as soon as today to authorize the hiring of thousands of new ICE and Border Patrol officers and to put the deportation of criminal aliens on the fast track. Eighty-one percent (81%) of voters favor a plan that calls for mandatory deportation of illegal immigrants who have been convicted of a felony in this country.
Fifty-two percent (52%) still believe the federal government should cut off funds to cities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities and provide sanctuary for illegal immigrants. Thirty-eight percent (38%) disagree.
The president last week broke with long-standing U.S. foreign policy position and said the creation of a separate Palestinian state is not essential to a Middle East peace agreement. We'll tell you how voters feel about that at 10:30.
(More below)
Most voters think Russia is a likely influence on the president's foreign policy but also tend to see critics of fallen National Security Adviser Michael Flynn as more interested in scoring political points than in U.S. national security.
If the president moves ahead with a major federal plan to rebuild infrastructure in the United States, most Americans don't think they should have to pay any extra taxes to fund it.
Nearly one-in-four Americans (23%) rate the safety of infrastructure – roads, bridges, dams, tunnels and the like – as poor in the area where they live.
(More below)
Some readers wonder how we come up with our job approval ratings for the president since they often don't show as dramatic a change as some other pollsters do. It depends on how you ask the question and whom you ask.
To get a sense of longer-term job approval trends for the president, Rasmussen Reports compiles our tracking data on a full month-by-month basis.
Rasmussen Reports has been a pioneer in the use of automated telephone polling techniques, but many other firms still utilize their own operator-assisted technology (see methodology).
Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Platinum Members.

Corel VideoStudio Pro X4
Corel VideoStudio Pro X4 review: Speed enhancements for the latest processors are the highlight of this video editing package.
- 3D output, uploads to Facebook, performs well on wide range of systems
- Much work takes place in dialog boxes, limited keyframing capability
Bottom Line
Corel VideoStudio Pro X4 is a well-performing application, with most of the latest features people look for in a video editor, but more-skilled users may want something that allows more control.
Price$ 149.00 (AUD)
Special Offers
When it comes to video editing, nothing ever happens quickly enough, no matter how powerful your computer. Corel's VideoStudio Pro X4 video editing software tries to speed things up. It's one of the first applications--not to mention video editing applications--to take specific advantage of Intel's new Sandy Bridge CPUs and AMD's Fusion CPUs (recently released or forthcoming); it also supports the GPU acceleration provided by certain Nvidia graphics processors.
Corel says that the enhancements might gain you 100 percent to 200 percent speed improvements in certain operations--for example, converting imported AVCHD video to an MPEG-2 output file--but didn't have more-specific numbers. That could be pretty impressive, though even if those numbers hold true, they won't come close to the exponential speed gains offered by Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 on a PC with a high-end graphics card.
Corel also says that the version I tested had some optimizations for Intel and AMD chips, but that it would be releasing additional "accelerator patches" after Intel and AMD released their own updates, so I did not run performance tests of my own. But I did notice that, even without those patches, VideoStudio ran very smoothly on the systems I tested it with, including a dual-Xeon-based workstation and a Core i7-based laptop; it previewed high-definition footage with no hiccups, its interface operated snappily, and it rendered output files relatively quickly (meaning, relative to how quickly I thought it should output, and relative to how quickly competitor Pinnacle Studio HD 15 rendered files). I experienced no crashes, and I never got the sense that I was overtaxing the application, even with high-definition content. That said, VideoStudio Pro X4 remains a native 32-bit application, so none of its speed gains come from that angle.
VideoStudio Pro X4 remains the only video editing application to offer a proxy editing mode, in which you can work on high-definition video in a low-resolution mode, thereby allowing you to use an underpowered computer. When you're done editing, VideoStudio applies your edits to the high-definition version while you're off having coffee (or sleeping).
Interface: Pretty and Functional
VideoStudio Pro X4 has a nicely revised workspace, too. You can grab the edge of screen elements such as the timeline, sources, and monitor windows and expand their size to meet your needs, and you can arrange them nearly anywhere you want. Drag a window to the the edge of a screen where you'll see small boxes, let go of the window, and it will dock automatically. You can undock windows, too--so that, for example, you can show your preview window on a second monitor, as large as you want it to be. This workspace is similar in function to that of Adobe Premiere Elements 9, but it's also a little simpler to use, because it has fewer options. As with Premiere Elements, you can save custom layouts and load them when you want.
Still, I found two things I didn't like in the interface. As with many consumer video editing applications, you do much of your customization work in dialog boxes with small windows to show the effects of your work, rather than showing your preview in the larger monitor window. Second, to access the help menus, you have to click a button at the top of the window that opens the Corel Guide, a secondary interface that gives you access to extra (free and paid) content, instructional videos, and messages that I assume are marketing communications. From there, you must click on a Launch Help link that then causes an online help system to appear--one that lives on Corel's Website. But I'd just bookmark the site in my browser and skip the button in VideoStudio.
As with Avid's Pinnacle Studio HD 15, VideoStudio Pro X4's keyframing features are rudimentary at best. (Keyframing is the ability to set points at which effects start or stop, and at what intensity.) You must set keyframes in a dialog box with a small preview window, and you can't see the keyframes in your timeline, so you have to open up the dialog box every time you want to change how they are applied. You can't adjust anything between those keyframes, either, as you can in Premiere Elements 9. For example, you can't change how quickly an effect accelerates before and after a keyframe, so their onset and dissipation are totally linear.
Now in 3D
VideoStudio Pro X4 is only the second video editing application to offer conversion to 3D video output (Sony Vegas Pro 10 was the first; I fully expect other video editing applications to add this feature in their next iterations). Unlike Vegas Pro 10, VideoStudio Pro X4 doesn't give you much control over how the 3D output looks. You click the application's Share button, click a file format (YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, or one of several disc formats), then choose anaglyph output or side-by-side output and adjust a 3D depth setting, but with no preview. Because 3D rendering is extremely processor-intensive, you might wait a long time before you can determine whether you had the right settings. Even so, I was able to output a pretty good 720p 3D video to YouTube, with obvious 3D effects; YouTube recognized that it was a 3D file and showed several 3D viewing options.
You can now make stop-motion animations with VideoStudio Pro X4, thanks to a new set of features in the application's Capture mode. You can capture shots manually, by clicking a button, or you can set it to take shots automatically on a regular interval (so you can create a movie of a sunset, or a flower opening, for example). However, once you import the stop-motion movie into a timeline, you can't adjust the duration or the speed of the composition, unless you split it back into individual photos; and if you do that, you lose any effects you've applied to the composition. You can adjust all of the photos' duration at once, but if you want to add an effect, you have to add it to all of your photos. Or you could recombine all the photos--but what if you want to adjust the duration again?
Another new feature lets you create an effective strobe effect by setting VideoStudio to capture every tenth frame, and slow down the overall video at the same time, so it will look like a time-lapse movie. This is very easy to set up, and it creates really neat-looking video, albeit with the same limitations of stop-motion movies.
Other enhancements: You can now place title text in overlay tracks (in addition to your main video track), and you can now export VideoStudio Pro X4 projects so that you can copy them to other computers to work on them there.
Speed Thrills
VideoStudio Pro X4 performs well on a wide range of computers, from the underpowered PCs of yesteryear (using its proxy mode) to more recent models to units with the most cutting-edge CPUs, and Corel is doing a good job of offering the new features that people want in a video editor. It doesn't provide nearly the same level of control as Adobe Premiere Elements 9 does, but it has a few advantages over that application (for example, an easier-to-see interface, and a less-confusing media browser), so I'd recommend it as a worthy alternative for some people.

Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.

Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Mark Escubio
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Slight correction - killing and restarting a regular broker with persistent messaging will not loose messages. Its if you loose the box on which the broker is running due to catastrophic hardware failure that you might loose messages. i.e. you loose the local hard drive. So Master/Slave solves this by either reusing a shared network store (database or file system) or by replicating messages to different local stores. -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/

Blogs Liberty and Power Democracy and Saudi ArabiaApr 25, 2005 11:10 am
Democracy and Saudi Arabia
I've had a lot to say about Saudi Arabia, and about the Bush administration's Adventures in Mideast Democracy.
Well, in Episode #2,345 of this Quixotic Political Saga, the Saudi royal family, which has been a trusted US"ally,""has been under pressure from Washington to engage in political reform at a time of social tension and a two-year campaign against the state by militants associated with al-Qaeda." Today, the news tells us:
Candidates on an alleged"golden list" backed by religious clerics have swept the final round of Saudi Arabia's first nationwide municipal elections. Islamist candidates won all the municipal council seats contested in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. They also fared well in northern towns as well as the comparatively liberal port of Jeddah, according to results released on Saturday. Women were barred from the polls, which were presented as a step towards more popular participation in public life.
Of course, the regime itself will pick"roughly half" of 1,200 councillors, which might"dilute" the power of Islamicists. Not that the Saudi regime is all that liberal by comparison. After all, this election news comes on the heels of another news story that the Saudis had detained 40 Pakistani Christians who were caught"attending a service in Riyadh" in a private home. The police also found (horrors!!)"Christian tapes and books." Since one cannot practice any religion other than Islam in Saudi Arabia, this is a crime, in case you were wondering.
I get exhausted pointing out the obvious. This is a regime that is allegedly a"friend" of the United States government. Let's put aside the prospects for democracy among"unfriendly" regimes. Of what use is procedural"democracy" when a"friendly" regime schools its citizens in a fanatical ideology of intolerance, when it marginalizes and criminalizes women, non-Muslims, and freedom itself? Of what use is"democracy" when the dominant culture would bring about a political condition that might make the current Saudi regime appear"moderate" by comparison?

For a cartel to function, at least one of the entities has to be willing to give up a competitive market share. The Saudis have been willing to do this since the early 1970s. 'Nuff said!
Brian Radzinsky - 4/25/2005
The Saudi regime is no friend of the US in on-face terms. Rather it's more of a crony, a regime established and protected by the US to gain access to its plentiful deposits of black gold. The House of Saud is right to insist that without US protection its regime will fall to regimes more extremist then they. It's no democracy in any sense of the word. In fact it can be said to be the opposite, demanding nothing of its citzens in exchange for nothing but oppression.
The sad truth is that the US has no use for Saudi Arabia other than to use them as a spigot to keep up our state-sponsored economy of the gas pump. The moment oil ceases to be Saudi Arabia's dominant export is the moment when then Saudi government loses its lifeblood. It's at that moment that true civic stability can begin to emerge.
