On the 18th we woke up refreshed and bright-eyed—at 3:30 AM Hawaii time, which is actually 8:30 AM NJ time. I wish I was kidding, but the three of us were ready to start the day—only the rest of the island was sleeping.
Uncle Carlo proceeded to shower, dress and walk around—cray! I proceeded to lay in bed with JD and watch cartoons. The character breakfast at Makahiki opened at 7 AM and you better believe we were there and the first people to get a pic with Mickey. We dined on a buffet loaded with family-friendly breakfast food including JD's favorite: Mickey waffles. I enjoyed lots of Greek yogurt and tropical fruit—and coffee! Mickey, Minnie and Goofy visited the tables and Aunty got all of the kids up for a parade. JD and his fellow tiny vacationers marched around banging coconut shells together. It was so cute and a treat for parents, who got to relax with their coffee and breakfast, since the parade took place at our viewpoint and was well supervised by Disney cast members.
After breakfast I took JD to Aunty's Beach House and Uncle Carlo, Mr. Early Riser, went to the room to rest. On our way to Aunty's we discovered a beautiful fishpond—JD counted all of the fish and kept saying, "They're moving and I'm losing count!" When we got to Aunty's Beach House, JD's eyes lit up! Designed for ages 3 to 12—Aunty's Beach House is a kids club where younger guests explore Hawaiian culture, art and music through complimentary activities that capture the essence of Hawaii. (There's a cool screening room that loops Disney movies and shows, in case your kiddo needs a little R&R) Childcare service is available so you can leave your kiddo and enjoy the spa, an excursion (a bar!) or just relax by the pool.
My motto when traveling with my son, is to travel with my son (it is true, I am obsessed!). Even though Aunty's was gorgeous, safe and secure (when you leave your child they get a digital sign in/sign out wristband) I didn't really use the childcare service. Well, I did for 40 minutes, when JD begged me to let him partake in a kids-only, Stitch's Space Goop Project: Stitch and the Professor come to visit and show the kids how to make neon yellow, wiggly, jiggly space goop! So, I sat right outside of Aunty's by the pool and enjoyed a freshly brewed iced tea. (I also spent plenty of time with JD playing at Aunty's and enjoying the grassy backyard and jungle gyms.) When the Stitch project was over, a cast member called my cell and I signed JD out and into Uncle Carlo's care for two hours. (It was great to have Uncle Carlo on hand so JD could have some 1-on-1 guy time—it's super important, single moms!) While the boys floated in the lazy river, made sand castles and ate lunch, I hung out with my new media friends (HI!) and Disney executives. We embarked on an awesome, fun (no, really) guided tour of the beachfront resort. View the grounds here.
One of my favorite parts of the tour was learning about the Kapa art, pronounced COPPA! (Yes, I'm serious.) See photo of me and the gorgeous Kapa curtain below. You can learn more about Kapa at KapaHawaii.com I got to meet Kapa artist, Dalani Tanahy, at a media breakfast and bought two Kapa wall pieces on the spot—gorgeous.
Aulani A Disney Resort and Spa is a magical, beautiful place bursting with traditional Hawaiian culture and art from every angle + a subtle, glittering tinge of classic Disney! (There are no spinning tea cup rides—but trust me, you won't care!)

I agree with your thoughts although I personally would have picked out a few others that I am amazed placed.
Rather than single out the ones that placed that I don't think are anything near the quality of previous years I would say that there was probably an serious lack of entries up to the standards of previous years.
The judges have remained the same for as long as I can remember.
Maria Hults and Bob Ricke used to dive with me at Fisheye and are wholly nice people .. once you get to know them / used to them. I see Maria every so often at Sunset House where I know she used to dive, but have no idea who's boat she goes out on now.
Would be interesting to see if anyone has the cahonas to post images they entered that they feel were better entries so we can see if maybe there was something else at play rather than lack of entries.
Posted 09 March 2007 - 05:15 PM
How does this photo get a first place:
And this one a third????
Posted 09 March 2007 - 05:46 PM
The shot Cor entered also showed a lot of creativity and patience, and luck with the weather in order to get that shot of the lionfish, making it a pretty unique photo imho.
There are also a lot of cropped shots in there, which im surprised can be entered.
But there are a some nice shots in there. I would like to see some that didn't make it too.

I would have to agree and hope that some people who entered will post there images for the rest of us to see, because something stinks here.
How does this photo get a first place:
And this one a third????
Thanks for the constructive criticism - a photo taken in a UK quarry coming first, hold the front page!
Maybe the judges liked it because it was different. Ask them.
For me, diving is a hobby. I have to do a day job to pay for it. Started entering comps last year as a bit of fun, so to be placed in a comp was a fantastic surprise. The BTS comp is for amateurs I believe so maybe the winning entries were chosen to reflect this. Shame we can't all reach the exalted standards of the Wetpixelers.
No offence taken or intended by the way - life is too short.
Posted 10 March 2007 - 01:20 AM
I don't think it was meant to cause offence to you, i think what you have touched upon is quite probably the case, that folks with less experience and smallers cameras are given preference. If that's the case then it is great, and a wonderful opportunity for people with point and shoots to compete.
I think the surprise stated by Patrick could have been more subtle, but i think what he was trying to get across is that if it is as i have written above, it should be stated that it is not a level playing field in the competition details.
I hope you enjoy whatever prize you got and the fact you finished first, it is not something some moaning folks on here can take away from you!

To me it looks like a holiday snap that was lucky with the reflection. Don't get me wrong I probably couldn't do much better, but thats just my view. After you look at some of the photo's that go around this forum you will feel the same.
I am always entering comps in the Amateur (video) section of festivals, only because i do not work underwater for a living, but that does not stop me making the most of the time I have in the realm. We just have to be better and try harder than the 'Lucky few' I'm afraid. Wait until you get to the 'Newcomers' catagories..I was up against production companies with my 'self-financed' film.. You can imaging were I came
People on this forum are spoilt with some amazing images.. And as participants in wetpix we 'maybe' think we have to keep up with the joneses (not you Steve). But thats life. Not for me though. Just doing my thing.
Anyway well done..I do not think people can take that away from you. Just some times critisism is harder to take, especially when your on a high from winning (yes winning!!! ) an award.
Dive safe
Posted 10 March 2007 - 03:05 AM
I'm old and daft enough not to take criticism personally, but it seems unfair to slag off the judges. I have never understood how judges choose one image over another - each comp has its own criteria I suppose and photography is as subjective as any other art form.
Don't know what the prize is yet
Posted 10 March 2007 - 03:24 AM
Two years ago I was asked to help out in a competition here in Cayman. The judges while looking at the entries decided that no one person could win a 1st in anything twice, so they quickly looked at all the images and deleted the ones they did not like, that left 3 for each of the 6 categories. They then noticed that a few people had won a 1st prize twice so they removed them gave the 1st to a lesser image? That's when I said "you invite people to enter all the categories but you make sure they only win one" that's not right.
So my apologies if you get upset but a diver in a lake with a reflection, nice shot, or a humpback whale under a boat, both composed nicely, the diver shot can be done almost any time, anywhere, the whale once in a lifetime, the whale wins every time for me and has nothing to do with being in a lake. But that's just my opinion, congras to all the winners.
Oh and I still can't get over that Eagle Ray image?

Just to illustrate how different are the judging in every contest , i'm posting my entries to BTS this year .
With pic # 1 i was awarded best of show at OWU contest and at BTS that same pic don't even placed as honorable mention .
BTS rules allows cropping to be made , sometimes i cropped my pics without take in consideration that final proportions remains the same as the original image . I just made it the way it pleased me more , i don't know if this is allowed in competitions , but i think rules are not specific in this regard in most of the cases .
I will like to know your opinions about the cropping in odd proportions .
By the way my favorite pic is # 2 , because was extremely difficult for me to capture that image , also i think is the most beautiful the subject i had ever came across . It was take at night in Lembeh.
( hope my english allow me to be understood )
Posted 10 March 2007 - 09:16 AM
Anyway , here is the link for a gallery of 6 pics that i sent :

Should a shot be considered âbetterâ because it is of a rare occurrence? Or because the photographer used a lesser priced camera? Or because it wasnât cropped? Or because the photographer isnât lucky enuf to be in the water 300 days out of the year? All of these questions only come up because itâs a contest and really have nothing to do with how the image affects the viewer. Isnât how the image affects the viewer really all that matters? Imagine Michelangelo being disqualified for using the wrong medium (the rules clearly stated no ceilings were allowed!). Picture Ansel Adams being disqualified for dodging the edges of a shot (no manipulations!).
As long as we look at underwater photography as a competition it will be stifled as an art. Iâm not saying that we should never enter contests. Iâm just saying that as long as we treat photography more like football than painting, the results will be scores instead of art.
Just a thought.

It was weird that many catagories did not have 1st-3rd and honorable mentions with entries from around the world..

Feral Cat Focus' 10th annual "Fusion" fundraiser dinner event will be held on Saturday, April 13, at 6 p.m. at La Galleria Restaurant, 3923 Southwestern Blvd. (Route 20), in Orchard Park.
Feral Cat Focus is a not-for-profit, all-volunteer-based organization founded in 2003 by dedicated people who were concerned about the feral/community cat overpopulation issue in Western New York. From 2003-12, approximately 8,000 feral/community cats were examined, spayed/neutered, and vaccinated at its spay/neuter clinics. This has prevented the birth of unwanted litters of kittens and allowed for socialized cats and kittens to be adopted into home environments.
Feral Cat Focus has volunteers who educate caregivers about the necessity of proper care for feral/community cats, answer telephone inquiries via a hotline, and loan humane traps to those wanting to help. It is through a partnership with Operation Pets, the spay/neuter clinic of Western New York, that Feral Cat Focus has been able to offer these services for cats.
The "Fusion" event is Feral Cat Focus' only annual fundraiser. There will be an elegant silent auction, as well as a theme basket auction. Local artist Mark Benz's 2013 custom pen and ink prints will be featured, along with many other baskets, unique items and gift certificates.
Edie Offhaus, vice president of Feral Cat Focus, said, "We are expecting over 200 people to attend this year, and we are hopeful that we will be able to raise much-needed funds for our important programs."
"We are so fortunate to have such steadfast supporters who believe in our mission of ending cat overpopulation in WNY through a humane solution," he added.
The attendees will be entertained by "A Grand Knight" sound system featuring a "Band Stand" salute. Three hours of light bar (beer, wine and soda) is included (mixed drinks are not). And, there will be several food and appetizer stations followed by dessert selections.
Tickets are $35 per person pre-purchased or $40 per person if purchased at the door and include dinner and entertainment. Tickets may be purchased online through PayPal by going to http://www.feralcatfocus.org (fundraiser page) or by downloading the registration form and mailing it to Susan Sellingsloh, PO Box 486, Buffalo, NY 14213. For more information, call 888-902-9717.

House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson says farmers like the idea of closing a "loophole" that allows U.S. earnings of foreign-owned corporations to be taxed at a lower rate to help pay for the new farm bill.
And Bush administration officials who think growers are concerned about whether ending special tax treatment for those corporations may violate U.S. treaty obligations should get a reality check, the Minnesota Democrat says.
Speaking to reporters during his weekly telephone briefing Thursday (Aug. 2), Peterson chuckled when asked about Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns' comments that the Bush administration and farmers "won't stand for higher taxes" to pay for increased farm program spending in the farm bill.
"He needs to get out and talk to farmers a little more," said Peterson, referring to Johanns' remarks at a press briefing on Aug. 1. "I haven't found a single farmer that has a problem with the loophole closing we put in the bill. In fact, once they understand what it is, they say, 'Why haven't we been doing this in the first place?'"
The exchange was the latest in what's becoming a war of words between House and Senate agriculture committee leaders and Bush administration officials over who's more in tune with the needs of U.S. farmers.
Last winter, Johanns became the first secretary of agriculture in decades to make specific recommendations for the farm bill, based on a series of listening sessions conducted by USDA throughout the latter half of 2005.
Although most farm organizations have said they would be happy with few changes in the 2002 farm bill, Johanns has cited repeatedly the farm bill forums that USDA held as an example of why the legislation requires an overhaul.
"I think I'm as connected to farmers as any secretary in maybe a long time, maybe in history," he told reporters on Aug. 1. "We did the listening sessions. I'm constantly out there visiting with farmers. My experience is that farmers are a conservative lot, and they would not stand for taxes on another industry to finance their programs."
Johanns' comments came a day after Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, criticized the administration for threatening to veto the farm bill because of what it calls a "tax increase" on the foreign corporation's earnings.
"I think it's hard for the administration to argue that it's tax and spend, when we're just closing a loophole," said Harkin. "I would compliment the House for taking that action, and I hope to do the same here."
On the House vote to transfer payments for off-shore oil drilling operations to help pay for the farm bill, Harkin noted the Senate almost passed a bill last spring to "go after those royalties," falling three votes short of invoking cloture for the measure.
"Some didn't like where the money was going," he said. "But if it went to agriculture for biomass production and conservation programs, perhaps the Senate would be more inclined to vote for the measure."
Asked about reports that Montana Sen. Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad were looking at the House funding actions less favorably, Peterson bristled at the suggestion.
"The House has a bill that's paid for and has passed," he noted. "If they don't like the way we're doing that, we'll talk about it in conference. I'll say the same thing I've said to the Republicans: 'if you don't like what we're doing, offer an alternative.'"
Peterson said he finds the Bush administration's willingness to defend trade agreements that appear to be more beneficial to foreign entities than to U.S. business interests hard to fathom.
"I happen to think this shouldn't have been done in the first place, that we shouldn't have U.S. government employees negotiating treaties with foreign corporations allowing them to pay less taxes than people in the United States," he said. "I have a real problem that we're doing that in the first place, and I have no problem ending it."
He said he and Harkin were scheduled to meet and discuss the farm bill the House passed July 27. "From his remarks yesterday, it seems he's seeing some things he likes and I'm hopeful the Senate Agriculture Committee will have a process to get them fairly close to where we are. That would mean the conference won't be so difficult."
Harkin said he expects to have a farm bill draft prepared in time for the Senate ag committee to begin discussing when Congress returns from the August recess.

Watch how to make this recipe.
In a large shallow bowl, using a fork, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Stir in the milk and set aside. Peel the bananas into a small bowl and mash them with a fork. Stir in the walnuts and the nutmeg.
Spread the banana mixture over the 1/2 of the bread slices, leaving a 1/4-inch border uncovered on all edges. Top with the remaining bread slices and press down gently to seal.
Place 2 sandwiches in the egg mixture and press down gently. Turn over and let soak for a moment until evenly saturated on both sides. Repeat with the other 2 remaining sandwiches.
In a frying pan or on a griddle, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on griddle and fry until the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining butter, flip the sandwiches with a spatula and fry until golden brown.
To serve place the toast on plates and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve with maple syrup or jam.

Sin, Fire & Gold! The Days of San Francisco's Barbary Coast
Sin, Fire & Gold! The Days of San Francisco's Barbary Coast Previous Broadcasts
KQED Plus: Sun, Nov 17, 2013 -- 1:30 PM
Since its beginnings, San Francisco has been home to an eclectic array of characters drawn not only to the city's spectacularly beautiful surroundings but also to the vibrant spirit of independence the area seems to foster. KQED's documentary, broadcast digitally in HDTV, celebrates the people, places and events which have shaped the city over the years. San Francisco can boast not only of physical beauty, but also a history replete with swashbuckling drama and Gold Rush fever. Largely forgotten, much of this history seems to have been buried with the rubble of the great 1906 earthquake. Host Greg Sherwood joins tour guide and historian Daniel Bacon in sifting through the present to uncover some of San Francisco's fascinating past.
Viewers join them for a leisurely walk along the city's original waterfront - the Barbary Coast - and discover the last remaining pocket of original buildings in the area which miraculously survived the 1906 earthquake and fire. The tour points out where Gold Rush ships still lie buried beneath the towering skyscrapers of the Financial District, and viewers learn why the Ferry building faces a particular sleepy side street as well as the logical main avenue of Market Street. At times, the tour takes viewers inside some of the buildings along the way to enjoy unique interior designs and significant architectural elements, including the Old Mint, a spectacular national landmark seldom seen by the general public. It also highlights some of the area's more colorful characters, such as famed Gold Rush era performer Lotta Crabtree.

It was a fundraiser of the unique Sunday evening, April 21, as retro clothier Hip Gypsy and a number of North Tonawanda-area fashion boutiques, art designers and local merchants staged the second annual "Uniting the Gateway and Beyond" production to benefit The Historic Riviera Theatre.
Sponsored in part by the North Tonawanda Downtown Merchants Association and the Lumber City Development Corp., the fundraiser drew a crowd of roughly 400 to the historic theater, where visitors were treated to a truly one-of-a-kind event.
Featured was a wide array of creatively themed and very tasteful fashions, art, music and theater reflective of interesting past eras. The 10-part production transformed the audience from the romance-art "Roaring '20s" and art deco '30s, to the hippie '60s, the disco '70s, steam-punk-themed '80s, and leather- and wearable-arts-fashioned '90s to today. And it was creatively done via themes - romance to gypsy and burlesque, hippie to disco to punk and leather - complimented by music, fashionable wear, and a number attractive models and talented actors from the NT and nearby Buffalo areas.
All said, a different type of evening staged to benefit the ongoing restorations of a truly unique theater. (photos by Terry Duffy)

Prostitutes have been in all Grand Theft Auto games since Grand Theft Auto III. They are mainly out on the streets at night, and to receive their services the player are required to drive close to them and stop. Prostitutes can raise the player's health past 100%, but they cost the player money. However, the player has an option to kill the hooker and take the money back when finished - probably the in-game situation most commonly cited by critics of GTA's violence/immorality.
3D Universe
Picking up prostitutes have been much the same for Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories; simply by pulling up to one. Honking isn't necessary in order to get a prostitute in your car; it might even turn away the hooker. The player can only have "sex" with them on any ground that can kick up dirt or sand as the game doesn't consider seclusion as a factor. Having "sex" with a hooker is just an effect of the player's car bouncing up and down. Money will be taken away as long as the hooker is in the player's vehicle.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, however, if a hooker approaches the player's car, one has the option to accept or decline her offer to enter the car by simply using the "positive" or "negative" response buttons. Seclusion is now considered the sole factor in order to be able to have "sex." Seclusion now includes paved areas, such as corners, garages, under highways, etc. The effect of "sex" is still the car bouncing up and down, and the camera angle will orient itself to obscure what's going on through the car windows (which is actually nothing, just the player character and the prostitute sitting there). If the Pimping missions are completed, prostitutes will pay the player instead. In San Andreas, prostitution is illegal. If your chosen secluded area isn't "secluded" enough, you can get a one-star wanted level, and be busted in the act.
HD Universe
In Grand Theft Auto IV, this is replaced with a "yes" option, or just don't press that button if you want "no". You can also have different types of sex in the game. It cost $20 for a "handjob", it costs $50 for a "blowjob", and it costs $70 for intercourse. You are unable to pick up prostitutes in emergency vehicles, the trashmaster, bikes and the bus, with Niko citing various reasons. One other major change is that the camera angle is not fixed, and more suggestive animations are shown of the sexual acts between the player character and the prostitute revealing the sexual act(s), although both Niko and her will be fully clothed (the animation is more clearly seen if a convertible is used). Niko also can't have relations with these prostitutes while in certain vehicles due to size, he will say things like, "I bet you're flexible but not in here", or "I think this car is a little to small for that..." Most tramps are seen in short shorts or skirts and heels, they sometimes wear hats and usually always have their hair up. All of them do a little "twist" or "twirl" after watching them stand on the street for a while. They can also be seen interacting with, and occasionally even being picked up by, AI drivers.
Appearances vary from overweight to slim, both African-American and Caucasian prostitutes are seen. Although the prostitute voices appear to be mis-matched and no specific voice is set to a specific character model.
At the end of the encounter, Niko (or Johnny or Luis) will usually make a comment ranging from gratitude to the hooker to a self-disparaging remark about what he just did.
In the Australian version of GTA IV, sex is censored so no animations are shown and the car will simply rock. However, the version is uncensored in subsequent episodes.
Notable prostitutes
- 3D Universe
- HD Universe
- In the Ballad of Gay Tony, prostitutes giving Luis a $70 service will often sarcastically comment on Luis' penis size.
- In GTA IV, you can have multiple services with a prostitute by hitting the gas before the prostitute gets out of the car.
- As stated above, you can have multiple sessions with a prostitute, however, abusing it will cause her to become aggressive and will attack Niko if she ever got out of the car.

Baylor QB Nick Florence is going to finish his Master's rather than pursue an NFL career. I was pretty impressed with what I saw from him this year. He, along with Zac Dysert, were my favorite late-round QB prospects this year (although I could see Dysert rising).
Stupid, IMO. Florence would only need to play three years to secure his pension. With his college production and RG3 likely inflating Florence's value a bit, I thought he had a good shot at going in the 6th round area. He could spend three seasons holding a clipboard and cashing huge checks, and then retire with a pension. I believe that's what David Greene did. Florence would still only be in his mid-20s by then, and could easily go back and complete his Master's degree.
If this is what he really wants to do, good for him, I guess, but it seems very short-sighted to me. I'll bet he ends up regretting it.

MIDDLEBURY — Marion Guild left Middlebury 71 years ago with some disappointment. She had just seen one of her male bosses take credit for designing the Emma Hart Willard monument that still stands at the top of Main Street in front of the Congregational Church of Middlebury.
Well, Tuesday provided a triumphant return to Middlebury for Guild, now 95, who received belated credit for being the true designer of the monument honoring the person credited for starting women's collegiate education in the United States.

California is located on the western coast of the United States. It extends along the Pacific Ocean from the Mexican border in the south for nearly 900 miles (1400 km) to its northern border with the state of Oregon. The state is approximately 200 miles (300 km) wide from its western beaches to its eastern deserts bordering the states of Nevada and Arizona.
The coastline of California extends from the soft sandy tropical beaches of San Diego near the Mexican border to the rugged northern coasts near Oregon. In the southern part of the state, warm Pacific waters and the famous California surf attract many tourists to its palm shaded beaches. As you go further north, the coastline becomes more scenic, but the waters are cooler and sandy beaches are scarcer. In northern California, hiking along rocky cliffs and visiting secluded beaches to see seals, sea otters or whales are more popular than swimming.

Editor: I'm writing this letter because I think the fabric of America is being torn away by the large alcohol companies. I'm an alcoholic, but I did not choose to be.
Editor: I'm writing this letter because I think the fabric of America is being torn away by the large alcohol companies. I'm an alcoholic, but I did not choose to be.
I know there are people out there who think people who drink and can't control it are just weak. I cannot dispute their thoughts. But let me spend some time with them, and I can surely show them some things in their life where they are weak.
I'm not writing to debate who's right or wrong. I'm writing to bring attention to the large alcohol companies who are poisoning our country. And there is only one reason they're doing it: profit margin. They don't care about the lives they ruin or the people who die, all they care about is the almighty dollar. I'm sure they have a fund stashed away to pay for lawsuits or other litigation, but I know this doesn't affect their bottom line.
Tobacco products were taken off TV and billboards because they said this product killed. What did this do but open the door to be flooded with beer and liquor commercials and billboards. My opinion is that most people who drink also smoke. I may be wrong but probably not.
My point is I attend a group of alcoholics, and we often talk about how big alcohol companies should be more responsible for their actions. Small groups of people cannot be heard. There are thousands of rehab clinics in the United States. If everyone got together, our word would be heard.
You have heard of the Million Man March. The people who have problems with alcohol could have a 20 million man march. Government would probably have to pay some attention then. Besides I'm sure most donations to government are made by the alcohol companies.
Alcohol is a part of life, and I know if it were illegal it would still be available. I have no problem with that.
This is my opinion only, but I think alcohol companies should be more responsible, and they should put a large portion of their profits into some kind of rehabilitation program for the many who need it. Alcohol kills, and some of this can be prevented. Alcohol companies, let's be proactive and help save our great country.

David Cameron: Katy Perry and Bruno Mars make appalling music
Prime minister
David Cameron has called music by
Katy Perry and
Bruno Mars 'appalling' after being introduced to the artists' work by his children.
Mr Cameron told The Telegraph that he believes his children have bad taste in music, as he admitted Katy Perry and Bruno Mars were 'beginning to infect my iPod.'
Although not a big fan of the two pop singers, Mr Cameron did however express a musical love for US singer Lana Del Rey and rock group Band Of Horses, citing them as his favourite new artists.
A playlist of 'hipster bands' features in Mr Cameron's music collection as he also listens to Florence And The Machine, The Killers and The Smiths.
The prime minister was hit by a backlash from Morrissey and Johnny Marr for liking the pair's former band The Smiths.
During an appearance on The One Show in 2009, David Cameron light-heartedly apologised to Johnny Marr for liking the band, making a reference to their song Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.
'I'm sure when Morrissey finds that he's getting an endorsement from the leader of the Conservative party , he will think Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now,' he quipped.
'But I'm a big fan, I'm afraid. Sorry about that.'
In a Twitter rant in 2010, Johnny Marr tweeted about Cameron : 'Stop saying that you like The Smiths, no you don't. I forbid you to like it.'

eBay Acquires StumbleUpon
San Jose, Calif., May 30, 2007 eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY) today announced it has acquired StumbleUpon, an early-stage company that helps people discover and share content online, for an aggregate transaction value of approximately $75 million. This acquisition will provide eBay with in-depth exposure to a fast-growing community-based service with approximately 2.3 million users. StumbleUpon gives people a new way to discover relevant and entertaining content based on personal preferences and community recommendations.
"StumbleUpon is a great fit within our goal of pioneering new communities based on commerce and sustained by trust," said, Michael Buhr, senior director, eBay. "StumbleUpon's downloadable toolbar provides an engaging and unique experience to its users, but it is the similarities in our approaches to the concept of community that make it such a compelling addition to eBay."
Driven by word-of-mouth, the StumbleUpon community has grown 150 percent year over year and delivers approximately five million new recommendations a day to its large, highly engaged user base. StumbleUpon allows people to discover Web sites, people, videos, product information, communities and other online content based on personal interests. By allowing its community to rate the content, StumbleUpon gets smarter as it is used and provides an increasing level of relevance over time.
Said Garrett Camp, chief architect and one of three StumbleUpon founders, "We're excited about joining eBay, as we share the same values around community and we look forward to working with them to accelerate our growth."
Buhr will serve as general manager of StumbleUpon effective immediately. StumbleUpon's current founders and management team will remain in their respective positions and will work with Buhr to enhance the user experience, evolve its unique product and grow the community.
eBay does not expect this acquisition to have a material impact on its financial guidance as issued in conjunction with its first quarter earnings release on April 18, 2007.

'Upstream Color' a bizarre, hypnotic thriller
Henry David Thoreau plays an enigmatic role in Shane Carruth's hypnotic thriller — an oxymoronic term to describe a film that is truly sui generis. The reclusive, 19th-century Transcendentalist's "Walden'' provides a key link in a circular conspiracy that extends from a pig farm to the frontiers of consciousness. Is this Philip K. Dick-like plot benevolent or malignant or none of the above? Figuring that out is just one of the film's sanity-stretching pleasures. More lyrical than Carruth's stunning debut feature, "Primer,'' it seems at various times like the work of a more spiritual David Cronenberg or a more malign Terrence Malick. Above all it is seductive; and while I feel compelled to see it again, I don't have high hopes that it will make any more sense.
That's more or less the state of mind the film's protagonists find themselves in. The first, Kris (Amy Seimetz), gets tasered and kidnapped by some creep who forces her to swallow what looks like a mescal worm. As seen in the film's elliptical, nearly wordless opening sequence, this worm infests the roots of a blighted orchid — reminiscent of the source of the drug Death in "A Scanner Darkly.'' The worms are processed into a liquid that two teenage test subjects drink, after which they display unnaturally synchronized behavior in a series of exercises.
But for Kris the effect is more drastic; she regresses to a robotic state, sleepily following her keeper's commands, signing over all her assets to him. That accomplished, she goes into a kind of withdrawal, and when the now-engorged worm starts visibly crawling beneath her skin, she tries to remove it with a butcher knife. Finally, after a procedure that merges her identity with that of a pig, she's released, without memory and with her life in ruins. The pig, meanwhile, joins dozens of others in a pen, where they root about contentedly, like the sailors in the "Odyssey'' metamorphosed by Circe.
Maybe William Burroughs could explain what's going on — and this only 25 minutes into the film. Things settle down a bit when protagonist number two, Jeff (Carruth), arrives on the scene. He apparently has been similarly victimized; and as if to demonstrate that love is stronger than mind-melding worms, Kris and Jeff fall in love and team up to find out what the heck is going on.
Or is love just part of the process? And what about the weird guy tending the pigsty — why does he record odd sounds and distort them and then sell them as CDs? And why are all the zombified victims reading or reciting passages from Thoreau; isn't he the hero of nonconformism? Entranced by the disorienting editing, the oblique narrative, and the lulling soundtrack, I found that despite such questions, it all seems to make sense. It's when the film is over that the real questioning begins.

The Yamaha LS6ARE is a ground up redesign from Yamaha's guitar team. Featuring a solid Engelmann spruce top now treated with A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement), an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha produces a tonal richness that can only be found in a vintage instrument that has been played for many years.
Yamaha's L Series Acoustic Guitars have been around for 40 years, a revered line of handcrafted acoustic guitars known for their tonal quality, fine tone woods and impeccable workmanship, now features several new innovations that deliver classic quality, value and a genuine redesign befitting of a 40th anniversary.
Significantly, the LS6ARE has a redesigned bracing pattern, introducing a lower bracing height and shape that improves the vibration of the top board and tonal transference throughout the guitar, creating a balanced low end, a crisp top end and an increase in volume, characteristics in keeping with current market demands.
Improvements to the feel of the neck on the the L series makes them immediately comfortable to play. Refining the neck profile means all the models now have a five-ply design and the L series has a lower string action and wider string spacing.
In a first for the complete range of L Series, these models come with an unobtrusive passive under-saddle piezo pick up for live applications that does not affect the unplugged sound or detract from the guitar's gorgeous finishes. Yamaha added this almost invisible and simple-to-use feature that expands each guitar's capabilities.

College of Arts & Humanities
Dr. Linda M. Canup Keaton-Lima
U.S. Marine Corps combat correspondent Claude R. "Red" Canup wasn't required to keep personal copies of the dispatches he sent out while covering the war in the Pacific, during World War II. He did so, however, and "War Is Not Just for Heroes," edited by his daughter, 1970 Lander College graduate Dr. Linda M. Canup Keaton-Lima, is the result.
Following the publication of Keaton-Lima's book in May, by the University of South Carolina Press, her father's 398 dispatches will be given to the General Alfred M. Grey Research Center and Archives in the Library of the Marine Corps, in Quantico, Va. She said that "Claude R. 'Red' Canup's will be the only combat correspondent's collection, the only dispatches, housed there."
Canup, from Anderson, became one of the frontline journalists known as Denig's Demons at the age of 33. Reporting from Yontan and Chimu airfields, Okinawa, Yokosuka naval base, and elsewhere in Japan, he offered an engaging firsthand perspective on the war's final years.
Canup covered the famous giretsu attack on Yontan Airfield, Okinawa, interviewing two marines in the tower the night the Japanese successfully landed suicide planes with suicide troops, on May 24, 1945. He interviewed pilots from the aircraft carrier Bunker Hill, including famous Marine ace Captain James Swett, who landed on Yontan because kamikazes had damaged their ship's landing deck. Immediately after the war, Canup interviewed recently released prisoners of war aboard the hospital ship Benevolence, docked in Tokyo Bay.
Keaton-Lima, who graduated from Lander with a B.S. in business education and a minor in art, whose master's, from Clemson, is in education, counseling and guidance services, and whose doctorate, also from Clemson, is in vocational technical education, said that her father "never wrote about himself or his Marine Corps days after he was discharged." She said she "was determined my father and other combat correspondents, along with the valuable service they provided Marine families and the American public, would be remembered."
She said the title for her book, which took three years to research and write, "was found penciled in my father's notes and represented a belief he held."
Dr. Charles P. Neimeyer, director and chief of the United States Marine Corps History Division, said that "the Marine Corps historical program owes a debt of gratitude to Linda Keaton-Lima for bringing to light an invaluable treasure trove of wartime material and commentary from her late father."
Neimeyer continued, "If legendary World War II combat correspondent Ernie Pyle is known today as the G.I. Joe reporter, then Red Canup deserves similar recognition for his coverage of Marines. I highly recommend this remarkable collection of observations and dispatches to all serious students of World War II history."

"I bought a video rack on the web before from some other company. I'm not so happy, NOT HAPPY with it coz it's very hard to assemble and some parts are not compatible to each other, not until I found this company they have excellent product, and customer service. There product doesn't need assembly, they come fully assemble all you need to do is take them out of the box, even my disney tapes fit in them, since then I bought 2 model 705 and 1 405 from them. believe me I search the web for video racks and there's not even one of them that can match this."
"Jim, the shipping to Alaska of the beautiful cabinets you make is well worth the cost! You do, indeed, build them as they should be built, and I greatly appreciate that! Thank you again. Now, I'm going to sit on the sofa and gaze at it some more. "
"I own 2 of your storage cabinets. I am very pleased with both. I plan to purchase additional cabinets, as my CD collection grows. I would recommend your company to anyone who wants quality wood cabinets to store their CD collections."
"We're very pleased with the high quality of your products, and with your high level of responsiveness to your customers. "
"I just wanted to send a note to say how well the CD Racks we ordered from your company are working for us! The large rack is absolutely awesome! Over 1000 discs are hard to store anywhere...and the 504 capacity rack fits perfectly in my office. Thanks again for everything."
"I just wanted to let you know the shipment arrived in good condition. The rack looks great and the size is perfect. Thanks for your help and fast service."
"Just wanted to say that the unit (the 705 that I'll use for DVDs) was waiting for me when I got home tonight. I really appreciate the quick response to my order. Getting a phone call the night that I ordered the unit was surprising (and pleasant), as was having my order dealt with so promptly. Dealing with your company was extremely easy and a pleasure... I couldn't help but comment to your about your great service. And I have to say that you have some unusual business hours... ;-)... Your response was far above what I expected... feel free to use my comments if you wish. Thank you - I appreciate your attitude. As an FYI, I've sent your site link to some friends of mine who may be interested in your products as well. "
"The CD rack I ordered arrived within a week and a half in perfect condition. It is very sturdy, attractive, and well built. I can offer no greater endorsement than to say that I will be ordering my next CD rack from the Wood Shed when the first one is full. "
"Mr. Rusch, Thanks for your recent follow-up phone message. We love the CD rack! It fit perfectly beside our entertainment center. I am amazed at how well it matches the entertainment center. The oak is almost identical and the style is a so close, that one would think the two pieces were made by the same person. We are very impressed with your workmanship and great customer service. Thanks so much!"
"I was on a business trip when the shipping crate arrived containing my new CD Rack. I just uncrated it tonight and the rack was completely undamaged in shipment and looks great. It is very heavy and feels extremely solid. It only took me 2 minutes to install the feet on the unit and now I have it filled up with CDs!"
"I have never received an item that was packed so perfectly. No need to worry about any damage. I am so pleased with the quality and workmanship of this cd rack. It was a perfect gift. "
""The Wood Shed, is everything you could ask for in an online company. After deciding on the specific CD rack I wanted, the order went in smoothly. To my great suprise, I was contacted within 2 hours to confirm my order. I have never had a company respond so quickly, especially on a Sunday when everyone else seems to be off-line. Soon after, within 4 days, I received the product, in perfect condition. This has been the best On-line purchase I have ever made, my advise; SHOP WITH THE WOOD SHED, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!!!! Thanks for everything Wood Shed!!!! Rules"
"To the Folks at The Wood Shed: I am completely 100% satisfied with both our transaction and the product that I received. The solid oak dowel CD rack was exactly as advertised, if not better. The quality, workmanship, even the packaging was First-class, and at a price comparable to lesser quality pressed wood products. It was a pleasure to have done business with you, and I will recommend your web site to anyone who has a need for your products. Thanks again. "
"We were quite pleased with our purchase from your store, the dvd rack is exactly what we needed."
"I bought the Model 1004. The workmanship is very good. The design is ideal for displaying and selecting CDs. I took a long time for just the right rack, to fit in just the right spot. I am very anal about my house and furnishings. I am only totally pleased. Keep up the quality work."
"CDRacks products are very high quality and they look sharp. They helped me to organize my VHS tapes and CD's. My entertainment center has a whole new look! When the dimensions of one of the products did not work for my space, they was very helpful in indicating what I needed to think about, dimensionally, prior to making the changes. I highly recommend CDRacks."
"I've just ordered my third item from you. I purchase frequently from the Internet, and your company truly stands out from even the best companies! The quality of your merchandise, value, secure server (for safely giving out credit card information), customer service, and very speedy delivery are simply unmatched. Most companies possess a few exceptional qualities, but yours simply has it all! Thank you for making my shopping experience with you quick, easy, painless, and very enjoyable."
"My new DVD rack just arrived - and I absolutely love it! I hate to assemble anything, so it was nice to just put the "feet" on the bottom and start filling the shelves. Thanks you for a wonderful internet shopping experience. Your product is terrific! "
"Thanks for keeping me posted. You've been both friendly and professional, and I appreciate both, very much... (And in a later message) They've arrived; they're beautiful; I'm thrilled. Thanks for your time and care, and all best wishes for your fine company. "
"I was very pleased with my product from your company. It is a quality item, and priced fairly. Order time was very quick. I would not hesitate to order from your company again. "
