We want your WoolOvers to last just as much as you do (we have our reputation to uphold!) so here is our guide to prolonging the life of your knitwear. Follow these steps and your garments should last for years to come!
All of our fabrics are a blend of natural protein fibres and knitted from machine-washable yarn. Wash them on a wool program, using a non-bio detergent at a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.
Many biological detergents contain wool-eating enzymes. Never use biological detergents or stain removers on Wool, Silk or Cashmere fibres because the enzymes will literally digest the fabric and you may end up with unsightly holes!
Afraid not. Those that contain bleach will lead to progressive fading and may weaken the fabric, again leading to holes.
Wool and natural fibre detergents are available at all supermarkets. Many sell Woolmark-approved own brand products. Other good brands include Dreft, Persil Silk and Wool, Woolite, Stergene and Ecover Wool Wash.
Most of our knitwear is machine washable, there are some newer styles that are hand wash only. Please see wash label for washing instructions.
REMEMBER: to increase the life of your WoolOvers, use a slow spin (600 rpm or less) and a low temperature (30° max.) to avoid stretching, shrinking and matting of the fibres.
Our cotton blends will be fine in your tumble dryer, but avoid direct heat on the woollens. These should be reshaped and allowed to dry naturally.
TIP: Keep them supported to maintain their shape, a broad banister can be ideal, or simply lay flat, ensuring you rotate it.
Our packages are nearly always beneath local taxation thresholds, but on rare occasions deliveries can be subject to duty and tax charges. WoolOvers are not liable for any such charges. Please note,customs policies vary widely from country to country. We recommend you contact your local customs office for further information.
All delivery times are estimated, WoolOvers cannot be held liable for any delays that may occur which are outside our control.

On Faith, Cynicism, Impatience and Stone Blind Love
First off, a mea culpa, if you'll indulge. If anyone threw gas on the smouldering embers yesterday, it was yours truly, and if we seemed less than charitable or more than a little impertinent, we apologize. Having said that, we've had a good night's sleep and some time to think about some of the points drawn out in yesterday's cavalcade of comments, and we'll address them with a bit of a clearer head.
The Boston series sucked: We made a rare trip into Toronto in order to see the games this weekend, and it was demoralizing. It's part of why we couldn't bring ourself to write much of anything on Monday morning, because we just figured that emo Tao is not all that fun to read. (Well, sometimes...) We get why people would be losing their faith in the team, the plan and all that junk. We sympathize.
On "mediocrity": If there's a word that we've come to loathe hearing when talking about the Jays, it's "mediocre". In fits of pique, revisionists like to trot out how Jays fans have suffered through 18 years of mediocre baseball, which helps to rationalize their catcalls back in the direction of those faithfully glued to the bandwagon.
So let us ask: Did last year's 85 win team feel "mediocre" to you at the time? In the last five seasons, the Jays have finished under .500 just once...is that really mediocre?
Yes, the Jays have been on the outside looking in at the pennant races, mostly because one of either the Sox or Yanks or Rays has sprinted out ahead early in the season. But making the playoffs in baseball is hard, especially in the AL East. And the lack of a playoff appearance might be frustrating, but it doesn't mean that there hasn't been good baseball over that time.
The Plan is Dead. Long Live the Plan: J.P. Ricciardi had his plans. Now Alex Anthopoulos has his. Frankly, everybody's got a plan. The whole notion that there is something too clever about having a plan is lost on us: You take an approach that you think will work, and you stay true to it as best as you can. You don't panic and pull up stakes and revamp the direction because of a bad week, or month, or year.
And if there was one thing about which J.P. deserved some criticism, it was deviating wildly from his own plans based on the results of the previous season. Ricciardi's plans were always focused on short-term gains (college draft picks, big free agent signings), often at the expense of the long-term growth of the team.
So now, ten weeks into Alex Anthopoulos' second season as the GM, people are calling him out for not indulging in the very things for which they pilloried Ricciardi: Why didn't the Vernon Wells money get spent on free agents? If we don't spend to the Yanks' and Sox' level, we'll never compete! Abandon the plan! And who the hell does Anthopoulos think he is? He thinks he's so smart...
And furthermore, we thought that we've been pretty restrained around here in contrast to some of the cartoonish deification of Alex Anthopoulos that's taken place. We're willing to go along with his plan for a few more years and see how it plays out. Maybe it doesn't work out in the end, and maybe 50% of those clever moves come back to haunt the Jays. But we're not going to pull the chute now because we've got decades of frustration feeding into our more negative thoughts.
Soon, it will be winter, and people will be kvetching on every outlet about why James Reimer has suddenly turned into a pumpkin. But for now, there's a lot of baseball yet to play. And some fun stuff coming. Let's relax and enjoy it.
Our tenure as a Jays fan: Since 1983. (Our third favourite team, after a few years of loving the Pirates and the Expos, if it matters.) If you feel that the extra six seasons that you spent watching Rico Carty and Rick Cerone makes you more of an authority on the Jays, we'd invite you to start your own blog and stop reading this one. We don't care to bask in the annihilating glow of your contempt for what we do here.
Rogers is rich, but...: Rogers is a billion dollar communications company. They make their money in part because Ted Rogers was astute enough to invest his own money on building the infrastructure that brings the HD images into your homes and the chatter, texts, and everything else into your mobile device. (And if you feel like you're paying too much or there is something unfair about the way they do business, switch. You have alternatives. Even if it is a pocket full of quarters.)
When it comes to baseball: Rogers is not a billion dollar company. Sure, they're able to leverage some additional promotional exposure through the Jays, and they probably won't lose much more than they can stomach on the team. But you're not going to have a corporation's profitable divisions throw money down a hole in order to take a significant financial risk on big name free agents.
Seriously: People are self-interested, and you can't tell us that a senior executive in the cable or broadcast or (especially) the wireless side are going to sign off on creating a budget for the Jays that makes the company less profitable and eats into their personal bonus structure, just because Johnny from Markham wants to sign Prince Fielder.
The Red Sox and Yankees ARE billion dollar baseball businesses, and so they can make those decisions, and if they mess up, it's on them. If the Jays had, let's say, signed Jason Bay to a deal that would have brought our hometown kid (from the other end of the country) to town to the tune of $16 million over the next four years, only to see him turn into a pumpkin himself. Wouldn't the GM be mocked for such a waste of resources?
Have we all forgotten the Vernon Wells deal?
But the point is that there are other ways to compete with those behemoths. The Tampa Rays have already demonstrated how it can be done. And the Jays can find a way to compete with the big boys without creating a situation where they are a burden to their corporate ownership.
Do we all remember how fun it was to be in ownership limbo?
It's baseball, after all: We're not sure how much longer we've got before someone shuts out the lights and calls it a day for us. We're optimistic that we've got a few decades left. And if we spend the rest of those years and the Jays never quite make it over the hump for any number of reasons, we're not sure that we'll find ourself on our final day begrudging the time that we invested in this team. Baseball's pretty fun. Frustrating, to be sure. But if it ever stops being fun for us to be a Blue Jays fan, we'll just walk away.
The game is the game. Take it for what it is, or don't. But don't curse it because the games don't play out the way you'd like. We had our time at the top, and now we're caught in the middle. But have some faith.
One day, everything is going to sound like a rhapsody.

Thank you for the Rogers part. As I've said before, fans expect corporations to fork over millions of dollars so their favorite TV show can have a better ending.
It's ludicrous to assume any solvent company will freely set cash on fire.

It takes an obscene amount of patience to be a fan of this team and Toronto sports teams in general, and I think the people of Toronto see themselves as on the level of a New York, Boston, or Chicago. To be stuck in that middle is a shot to the ego of the population.

Well put, Drew.
The complaints about Rogers not giving more to the franchise seem to resemble those of kids who launch themselves on the floor because they aren't given what they want.
"But I WAAAANT Pop Tarts mom!"

Whoa, I read yesterday's blog when there was only three comments. I'm glad I got caught up.
It's amazing how people don't realize you need to develop a great core of talent, and have a stocked cupboard in the minors, to make signing big ticket free agents (to plug the holes your organization can't) make sense.
Otherwise, it's 2007 around here again and we'll win, oh, about 85 games until eternity.
Look at Tampa - they let Carlos Pena - a premier power hitter (although not much else) walk, Carl Crawford heads to Boston for a boatload of cash, and their entire bullpen spreads out around the league with larger contracts, but they continue to be awesome on a budget because their minor leagues are stocked and ready for this exact scenario.
And they're not players on the free agent market like I believe AA will be when he needs to plug holes around his homegrown talent.

Nice dig at James Reimer, especially considering you're a Sens fan.

I agree with you about Rogers . . . to a point. They are a faceless, evil billion-dollar company that doesn't give a shit about baseball, winning or fans. They care about cross-promotion. I canceled my cable years ago, watch sports online and go with a small ISP. (as you all should too!)
The point is that this kind of sports owner (and business model by the way, which destroys not only your local team, but the environment, labour laws and the lives of poor people all over the world)is not conducive to winning games.
Rogers is perhaps the worst run company in Canada, but not because it does not make money, but because it serves only the ultra-wealthy executives and massive stock holders. (leave that business-school tripe about "public company" at home--limited liability just makes the rich richer, and means that they don't lose their homes when they go belly up. Everyone else suffers from this kind of company.)
Go Jays. Fuck Rogers.

Well, for starters, the fact that it makes money does mean, by definition, that it is a well run company. You may not LIKE the way it's run, but that's entirely different ballgame. As well, I think your a bit confused re: your tirade about "business school tripe" and limited liability companies and public companies. Limited liability companies need not be public, private companies can be as well. So it seems like your beef is with companies in general.
Either way, you're the worst type of idiot. An uninformed, naive fool who thinks everybody ELSE is uninformed and naive.

Good follow up post Tao. Hey all the comments show people care, and that's a great thing. (Except for the language part)
Now I can't stand Rogers as much as the next guy, but interbrew was worse.
- June 15, 2011 at 8:44 PM
It is always funny to read comments from bandwagon fans and not fans of the team. With bandwagon fans, they want a win now at all cost mentality. Real fans see the positives each year that are displayed and watch the weaknesses addressed.
If the team finishes 81 - 81, the season was a success. We will get to see Thames, Lawrie, Drabek, Reyes, Stewart, Arencibia's first full year, etc. Players that struggled are back in triple A, so they can reinvent themselves for success.
I prefer that scenario than throwng 20M at a player and then being stuck with him for many years. The Angels today cut Kasmir outright, after believing they had acquired an ace two years ago. Free agents are a toss of the dice, but many bandwagon fans want them signed for large amounts to fail, hoping they will hit more than .200 - 2 - 30. When they don't, the fans blame the GM for stupidity, but never berate themselves for the same stupidity.
- June 15, 2011 at 10:42 PM
I love the "real fans" argument, always the way to try and alienate anyone who doesn't agree with you.
- June 15, 2011 at 10:56 PM
All "public" corporations are limited liability by definition--stock holders are only responsible for losing the money they put into the stocks; if they go bankrupt they do not lose their personal fortunes, houses, yachts etc. That is not "all companies". A small store operates not only with the threat from big corporations trying to drive them out of business by undercutting them, but with losing not only the store, but everything they have.
Corporate capitalism is having a horrible effect on our world right now, perhaps not as noticeably in Canada as elsewhere, but nonetheless we have seen what the loss of manufacturing jobs (going to the lowest bidder in the third world where pay scales and environmental regulations are lower etc.) has done to our country in terms of joblessness.
Clearly I'm off topic a bit, but calling someone on the internet "an uninformed idiot" is awfully easy, I would love to have a discussion with you in real life and see you backpedal. Put your head in the sand if you wish, but Rogers and companies like them are having a drastically negative effect on the Earth right now.
Go Jays. And thanks for comparing me to the unibomber, another classy move.
- June 15, 2011 at 11:04 PM
Sorry Tao, but I disagree with the mediocre thing. The Jays have been mediocre.
of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate.
Since 2005, they've finished 7th or below in the AL. That's right smack in the middle of the pack (or worse). That's mediocre to me. They're average. They're normal. Not excellent, not terrible. Mediocre.
Sure, that's better than being in the basement, but it's nothing to really celebrate either. It just inspires indifference.
I'm still on the bandwagon and glued to the tv because I like baseball and I'm hopeful and despise cynicsim. But I don't think you can call anyone who accuses the team of mediocrity incorrect.

I think Rogers would benefit from increased broadcast revenues & gate revenues if it spent 20 million more this season to put a team on the field that could win 90 games.
The team chose E5 to be a bargain basement DH with predictable results, see yesterday's GIDP.
AA's long term plan should be followed but where there are holes in the lineup, I expect Rogers to fill them with competent players not perennial DFA players.
- June 17, 2011 at 9:28 AM
Anonymous, you seem to be ranting against corporations in general. While true that some corporate entities should be forced to be privately held institutions (i.e. Investment Banks), your arguements don't really make a lot of sense when it comes to Rogers.
Specifically, you rant against jobs moving overseas but Rogers employs everyone within Canada. Yay, employment for people in Canada! Secondly, you have a problem with it being publicly owned and crushing the little guys but there aren't many small business owners that can afford the capital to run a media company. That's why corporate capitalism exists. It's a mutually beneficial setup to allow people to invest in business ventures so the business can exist and investors can profit.
Anyway, if you want to rant against anything in Roger's business, rant against the lack of competition in Canada which is what drives up our consumer costs. But to rant against corporations in general not only seems like a waste of time, it seems unlogical.

DeVotchKa '100 Lovers' Now Streaming On NPR, Band Featured In The Wall Street Journal
Denver based romantic rock band DeVotchKa is slated to release their spirited new record 100 Lovers this March 1st via Anti- Records. href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703407304576154172215499018.html">The Wall Street Journal has weighed in with some advance praise of the album, stating, "The recording bears all the winning traits of the group's best work. Understating its spotless musicianship while still conveying a sense of grandeur-the latter abetted this time by a full orchestra-DeVotchKa's bold new music is achingly romantic at times and yet never without ample wit and energy." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703407304576154172215499018.html
NPR has also been streaming 100 Lovers as part of their popular First Listen series, offering listeners a chance to preview the new songs. To have a listen just go href="http://www.npr.org/2011/02/13/133619683/first-listen-devotchka-100-lovers">here>
More Early praise for 100 Lovers:
"The new album is the group's best since 2004's "How It Ends" - a melodic stunner that brings together plentiful multi-culti influences." - Denver Post
"Exhilarating" - Relix
"A joyfully inspired album for a band who give pomp a good name" - Uncut
"Regularly swelling with gorgeous string arrangements and Urata's slurring, operatic bellows, 100 Lovers feels like a reverse-engineered soundtrack to a foreign film in dire need of epic landscapes and intimate moments of romance. The sex scene is gonna be intense." - Filter
The group will also be embarking on a North American tour, taking their electrifying and dramatic live show on the road in support of the new album.

My Twitter stream is being swamped by people claiming the iOS Facebook app is crashing for them today. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the recent iOS 6.0.1 or iOS 6.1 beta 1 firmwares either, and people who haven't gone near either of those are reporting the problem. It also doesn't seem to be a problem for everyone, as other people are saying they're just fine.
Maybe some piece of content is causing a problem for those folks unlucky enough to have loaded it? Who knows. Let's hope it fixes itself, or Facebook fixes it, as soon as possible.
In the meantime, if you use Facebook for iOS, let me know if it's working for you, and if it's not, how it's not.
And if it's not, remember, you can always use facebook.com to get at least some of your fix in the meantime...

There is a sledding hill spoken of in legend, but not just any sledding hill. This hill is the world's greatest sledding spot.
Pretty big claim, huh? But it's true. Over the Christmas break we took the kids sledding just north of Anchorage near Fort Richardson army base where the old, winding Arctic Valley Road was closed after being bypassed by the new road. Banked at both ends it now makes a 1-mile sledding run that is unsurpassed. Unsurpassed do you hear?
The treat is that you drop the sledders off at the top of the run (you can see Spencer and Grace going over the top of the berm where the run begins) then you drive down to the bottom and meet them, driving them back up to the top to drop them off for each new run. See my cute little diagram?
To get there you just turn off the Glenn Highway at the Arctic Valley exit and go east toward the mountains until you pass the pump station on the left (it's the only building you'll pass so you can't miss it). Shortly beyond that on the right is a turn off area where the old road banks up against the new road and cars are meeting sledders. Continue on up the hill until you come to the upper turn off with a sign that says "Biathalon Range" That's where you drop off sledders--you can't miss it.
We thought we'd have the run to ourselves on a Thursday morning but even then there were a few cars and by 1 or 2 pm it was getting crowded enough that it was tricky turning around once I dropped people off. Everyone wants to get the sledding in while the daylight lasts.
The kids were thrilled by the length of the run and the luxury of having a ride to the top and I was amazed by the view of the Anchorage bowl area below but I have to say it's been a while since I've done the sledding thing and I think my brain was severely jarred out of place by the whole affair. Here's a video of the last 100 yards as an added bonus--like my vintage 80s jacket? And my red fleece hat of course, I always have that.
Technorati tags: Anchorage, Alaska, winter, sledding

Riverside Park work takes step forward; New London City Council gets resolution supporting $925,000 in improvements
New London - The City Council's Finance Committee on Monday forwarded to the full council a resolution that would designate $925,000 from a bond ordinance approved in 2011 for improvements to Riverside Park.
The plan to improve the park is based largely on a proposal developed in 2011 by the Community Research and Design Collaborative at the University of Connecticut. To better link Winthrop Elementary Magnet School, the park and the Thames River, the plan would involve building a set of stairs from the school to the park, a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks on the riverbank and a pier to stretch out into the river.
The plan also calls for additional picnic and activity spaces within the park.
The proposal passed the committee unanimously, with the support of Council President Wade A. Hyslop and Councilor Erica Richardson. The committee's third member, Councilor Michael Passero, was absent from Monday's meeting.
"I have been through the park since the effort to save the park and I see how much more that park is being utilized and I appreciate the fact that those who voted to save the park did," Hyslop said. "It certainly shows that there is a need for a park on that end of the city."
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio voiced his support for the improvements and told the committee that the city would not bond the full $925,000 at once, but would instead bond what it needs as each phase of the plan progresses.
The early phases, he said, would include general landscaping and a better connection between the park and the Winthrop School. Later phases would include a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks and a pier into the river.
According to a debt service schedule Finance Director Jeff Smith prepared for the councilors, the city's average annual payment for the Riverside Park project would be roughly $67,000.
For each city resident, the project would cost 1 cent per week for the first year, 3 cents per week for the second year and 5 cents per week for the remaining term of the debt, Finizio wrote in an email last month to the City Council.
In an email to the mayor, City Treasurer Donna Rinehart said adding the debt to the city's budget would not require a tax rate increase of even 0.01 mills, which is the smallest change that could trigger a recalibration of the city's tax rate.
"While there is a nominal financial burden on the city to conclude this project, it is not enough to cause even the smallest tax rate increase," Finizio wrote. "At peak debt service levels, this project still costs the average New Londoner less than a penny a day."
Given that the project will not necessitate an increase in the city's tax rate and cost taxpayers less than a penny per day at most, Finizio said he believes the project "easily satisfies the test of affordability and, indeed, could be one of the best 'bangs of the buck' that I have examined in my entire time as mayor."

Triathlons are ideal for individuals looking to get into shape because they boast a very low injury rate. This is due in part to the cross training aspect of triathlons. Preparing for a triathlon involves running, swimming and biking to get into shape. People with cardiac issues should talk to a physician before beginning to train.
The Sunday of Railroad Days has a new celebration in the form of the First Annual Triathlon in St. James. The triathlon will take place June 23, with registration beginning at 6:30 a.m. and the race beginning at 8 a.m.
The reason behind creating a triathlon for St. James is simple, say organizers Dan Kern and Dayn Besel, there hasn't been a triathlon in St. James ever before.
Kern and Besel are putting together a course for the triathlon which will be good for beginners and challenging for seasoned veterans. The race will begin with a 150 to 200 yard swim in the St. James outdoor pool, followed by a 13 mile bike ride and finishing with a 5k run.
Participants are required to wear a helmet during the bike portion of the race, with headphones prohibited. It is recommended that swimmers use goggles, but not required.
Kern and Besel are hoping to get people involved with some physical activities. Being physical therapists, both believe health and fitness are very important. The triathlon is being put together to expand the sport of triathlon and is not something people need to be competitive about. It is a fun way to cross train and enjoy some outdoor time in St. James.
Triathlons are ideal for individuals looking to get into shape because they boast a very low injury rate. This is due in part to the cross training aspect of triathlons. Preparing for a triathlon involves running, swimming and biking to get into shape. People with cardiac issues should talk to a physician before beginning to train.
If you are having difficulty training, go online and find a training plan that is right for you. As one of the fastest growing sports in the United States, there are many resources for training schedules and techniques. One site that has been recommended is Minnesota Tri-News, which offers beginner schedules and triathlon dates throughout the state. Kern and Besel recommend starting slow and varying your routine for the best results.
Surrounding communities have gotten participants in the hundreds to the race, but Kern and Besel are hoping for about 75 people on Railroad Days Sunday.
Prizes will be given to top finishers along with door prizes to be drawn during the race. Registration is $40 until May 1, and $50 after. For a team of two or three people registration is $60 and increasing to $70 after May 1. Participants will receive a gift bag and t-shirt.
For an event like this there is a lot of cost. The race will be chip timed, with all results broken down to individual events. Any extra money received will go to the St. James Area Foundation for a donation to an area nonprofit.
A special thanks to the Mayo Health System in St. James, St. James Area Rehab, Scheels, the Eye Care Center of St. James, Steve Pitcher and the Sertoma and Rotary clubs for their assistance in organizing the event. Another special thanks to Margaret Maire, who has helped Kern and Besel in the planning stages of the triathlon.
As with any community event, volunteers are extremely helpful. Anyone interested in volunteering or donating can help by contacting Dayn Besel at 507-327-6719 or Dan Kern at 507-621-0324.
A meeting for volunteers will be held at Jake's Pizza April 24, at 7 p.m. Anyone who is interested in helping out with the triathlon is encouraged to join Dan and Dayn at the meeting. Volunteers are always appreciated.

I was looking around on the web trying to find a cool russell wilson shirt, and while there are a few ok ones out there there wasn't anything that I really liked enough to buy.
Then I remembered "Oh yeah I'm an artist".
So I could probably make a cool enough shirt. I don't really know about the legality of it but I'm assuming as long as I don't include any logos it should be fairly safe.
So that leads me to the next question, what kind of RW shirt would you like to see? Should there be text? Should RW be running or throwing or standing in the pocket ready to throw? Doing an interview with "The separation is in the preparation" at the bottom???
Throw out some ideas and If I get around to doing this I will let everyone know where you can get one.

Nikon Coolpix P7100 : Tests and Reviews
Nikon Coolpix P7100 Review
Nikon Coolpix P7100: a new high-end compact by Nikon
At first look, the specifications are very similar: same 10 MPixels sensor and same lens. And very logically, apart from some design improvements, Nikon focused on the main weaknesses of the P7000. So, the main improvements are:a better responsiveness with a new processor, the Expeed C2.a better usability with a front command wheel and a flip screen (same 3" 0.9 MPixels display as the P7000)Let's now see what level of image quality the P7100 can reach.P7100 vs its predecessor and its competitorFirst of all, it's interesting to compare the P7100 with the P7000, its predecessor and the

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Often in technology new models of existing products are disappointing, being motivated by the possibility of integrating new features which may not be overly useful. So when a manufacturer updates a good piece of kit and comes out with something even better there is much cause for celebration. Nikon's Coolpix P7700 is just such a piece of equipment, updating its Coolpix P7100 model in some style.
Canon's PowerShot G15 is the latest iteration of the popular G-series compacts aimed at enthusiasts. It packs a number of refinements over its predecessor, not the least being a new f/1.8-2.8 high-speed zoom, larger, high-resolution screen and a smaller, more compact body. It also marks the move from CCD to a Canon made CMOS with a fourfold increase in maximum sensitivity and full HD (1080p) video capture. Will the new Canon show any advance in image quality over the earlier G12? Read on to find out.
Last year, photography headlines noted a revival of enthusiasm in the old-fashioned camera sector.
The most active manufacturers for this segment were Olympus with its PEN camera and Fujifilm, with its Fuji X100 one of the most acclaimed cameras of 2011.
With an overall DxOMark score of 47, the Pentax Q is well-placed among cameras with sensors smaller than 4/3. In fact, its results are equivalent to the best compacts in this line (e.g., Canon Powershot G12 and Powershot S95) — not bad at all for a sensor that is smaller than most compact sensors (4.6 x 6.2 mm for the Pentax Q vs 5.8 x 7.9 for the Olympus XZ1).
The Nikon Coolpix P7000 was launched last year to clearly compete with the Canon Powershot G12 on the high-end compact market. Despite reasonably good specs, the P7000 wasn't really well received because of some usability and responsiveness issues. So, we were quite interested to see what this new Nikon Coolpix P7100 would offer.
It's rare in the world of photography for a manufacturer to come up with an entirely new product line from scratch, and it's equally rare for a famous manufacturer such as Nikon (the world market leader) to offer a new lens mount (Nikon CX). This makes the launch of the Nikon 1 line (Nikon J1 and Nikon V1) a major event in photography this fall.

By free do you mean Open Source - the design can be viewed by anyone,
or free as in no cost to the user?
I'm a big fan of open source, it will move humanity forward by adding to the creative commons ; -)
Arduino is a great example of open source hardware.
What are the arguments in the conversation, I only know a little Spanish?

I don't verilog (or whatever it is that they do the designs on), but the biggest need is an opengl gpu. It would be an interesting exercise to see if it could be automagically generated using the opengl specs in a manner similar to xcb ... anyone need a PhD thesis topic?
see opencores.org for pretty much everything else that exists -no one wants to tackle a full GL GPU though

Spanish to English Translation courtesy of
It's not perfect, but will give a pretty fair idea of what it is about.
The following note is then as expressed in the next post and previous issues.
Thanks for the clarification about not making "noise" with irrelevant information, I will correct the problem. If I make another please let me know because you do not know well the customs in this forum.
Well, I understand your point about the importance of considering the free hardware as something beyond how good it can be a free software implementation for an ordinary PC.
Considered as a thing in itself, different hardware, if you interpret it the right way.
Interesting challenge .... I think it is impossible!
Surely there is more than one way to approach this issue. From my place, that is from where I have to work, I notice that some of the groups that submitted projects ecoagricultores with us, there are people who work in the areas other than agriculture.
So, for example, there is a group that is dedicated to the heading "sewing machines", to recycle discarded fabrics textile industry.
If there any that can be financed for sewing machines, then there can be no impediment to arm whoever funded or import computers .... what is feasible. Also following the mode of arming the "computer free" it should aim at solving the environmental problem rigged bring conventional methods of production of computers, for example excessive or unnecessary software, hardware, etc.
Another group was funded to set up a laboratory for organic seed treatment ... university or research related to public universities is frowned on these projects.
I propose you go talking about this possibility called "free hardware" with people who may be interested in submitting a project. If I understand correctly, you're also Uruguayan, but a project can be initiated by any country or international mode, if there are people interested in the same subject in other countries. That would depend on which are the people that can add up to the proposal.
Being able to develop the project, although delayed in its concreteness, we relieve the burden of having to spend excessive time to conventional hardware (non-free). In addition, the realization will surely not be extended too in time, if we consider that at least within the projects submitted to the United Nations ecology in my country, the acceptance time was 2 years, on average.
There is also the possibility of presenting to agencies other than the United Nations.
I'm leaving this topic around here .... I will be available to continue the conversation, greeting
Enrique Corbellini
La siguiente nota es continuación a lo expresado en el mensaje contiguo y en temas anteriores.
Gracias por la aclaración acerca de no hacer "ruido" con información no pertinente, voy a corregir el problema. Si vuelvo a cometer otro por favor avísenme porque todavía no conozco bien las costumbres en este foro.
Bien, entiendo tu observación acerca de la importancia de considerar el hardware libre como algo más allá de lo buena que pueda ser una implementación de software libre para un PC común y corriente.
Como considerarlo algo en sí mismo, un hardware distinto, si es que te interpreto de modo correcto.
Interesante desafío.... creo que no es imposible!
Seguramente exista más de una manera de poder enfocar esta cuestión. Desde mi lugar, o sea desde el lugar en que me toca trabajar, observo que algunos de los grupos que han presentado proyectos junto a nosotros los ecoagricultores, hay personas que trabajan en otras áreas distintas a lo agrícola.
Entonces, por ejemplo, hay un grupo que se dedicó al rubro "máquinas de coser", para reciclar telas descartadas de la industria textil.
Si hay quien pueda ser financiado para máquinas de coser, entonces sin ningún impedimento puede haber quien sea financiado para armar o importar computadoras.... lo que sea viable. También atendiendo a que el modo de armar la "computadora libre", deberá tender a resolver el problema ecológico que traigan aparejados los métodos convencionales de producción de computadoras, por ejemplo excesivo o innecesario software, hardware, etc.
Otro grupo fue financiado para montar un laboratorio de tratamiento ecológico de semillas... la investigación universitaria o de afines a la universidad pública está bien vista en estos proyectos.
Te propongo ir conversando acerca de esta posibilidad llamada "hardware libre" con las personas que puedan estar interesadas en presentar un proyecto. Si entiendo bien, tú también sos uruguayo, pero un proyecto puede iniciarse por un país o de modo internacional, si hay personas interesadas en el mismo tema en otros países. Eso dependería de cuales sean las personas que se puedan ir sumando a la propuesta.
El poder ir elaborando el proyecto, aunque demore en su concreción, nos eximirá de la carga de tener que dedicar excesivo tiempo al hardware convencional (no-libre). Pero además, la concreción seguramente no se prolongaría demasiado en el tiempo, si atendemos a que cuando menos dentro de los proyectos presentados a las Naciones Unidas para la ecología en mi país, el tiempo de aceptación fue de 2 años, promedialmente.
También existe la posibilidad de presentación a organismos que no sean las Naciones Unidas.
Voy dejando este tema por aquí.... estaré a disposición para continuar la conversación, saludo

Well, it is true that google translator can understand some Spanish, but it is also true that it gives problems. For example in the line that says "Interesting challenge .... I think it is impossible!
... the real meaning is the opposite, because the word "not" should appear as "it is not impossible".
Speaking about doing a project is not the easiest way to get partners to do a job, because it is easier to talk about making modifications to the software or create software.
Even I cannot devote to free hardware while my other ecological work let me few time to do it.
How then can apply to the important suggestions from you? For example, as Technosaurus mentioned about open cores.
If I try to talk without any exaggeration or inaccuracy, all I can say is that in our environmental work we use computers, and they are not always free hardware or software usage as free. Surely we want them to be, but reality sometimes forces us to use other implements.
I work with organic fruit trees, maybe some of you work in other green practices. Maybe saving wildlife, or cleaning places damaged by the industries.
Puppy linux does work in ecology, to give the opportunity to reuse old computers.
Whatever our ecological work, probably we need to use computers. So, isn't it correct to join our effort to not have to use proprietary hardware or software? This is the idea I was trying to explain in Spanish.
How will my group of organic farmers not buy proprietary hardware, next time we should buy a computer? That's the question I ask.
If I try to do it alone, this will achieve not convince my colleagues to do the import of a computer from a distant country that sells open hardware.
But this included in an international project, where some teams sent open hardware and in return receive a payment, in cash or other assets, then, don't you think that would become a real possibility?
That would also allow open hardware manufacturers to produce more.
So if anyone knows about who may be making free hardware, we also appreciate that information.
I'll keep thanking your interesting opinions.

opencores.org has a bunch, but there is no innovation, just rehashing the old
workable ideas for innovation:
* parse opengl(es) spec to suitable xml and compile that to verilog for a opensource video card (similar to xcb with the x11 spec except use verilog instead C)
* power over wifi - given FCC regulations of 1mw/cm^2, a phone sized 4"x6" receiver has the capability of recharging a current standard device (it would need to be a tablet size to power a device without any battery) The root of this technology is over a century old (crystal receivers were originally called cat's whiskers)
* SOC with all un(patent)encumbered wireless and zero wired technologies to provide for a sealable device
* use larger, near translucent chips that can integrate everything including ram and the led display and provide a double-sided display that requires no backlight (I call dibs on the "patent" that uses face detection with dual cameras to tell which side you are looking and and flipping the display using xrandr)

What are the reasons that sometimes you can't use open hardware/software? I would guess its because some feature or other hasn't been implemented. The root problem is that its hard to get funding to develop open tech. The financial system rewards those who keep innovation for themselves.
Considering the difference between software/hardware, one major thing is the cost of production. Software is very cheap, so once an innovation has been implemented it can be passed on easily. Hardware on the other hand is more expensive. The same is true when you consider the cost of development.

I agree, I think that's the main fact.
But that's the same problem we have in agriculture, and probably it's a problem that appears in many technology's areas.
For example, we had to "develope" our own seeds to practice agriculture, since global enterprises try to catch the whole rights to produce seeds. Many people heard about how Monsanto tried to own the rights to produce all seeds in the world (something like how Microsoft tried to get the rights to produce any software in the world).
We are developing our own natural laboratories for seeds (yes, laboratories can be something natural, at least compared to what Monsanto does).
So, if it was possible to develope a free laboratory even though Monsanto wouldn't have wanted it, and it was possible to develope free software even though Microsoft wouldn't have wanted it either, it's also probably that is possible to create hardware technology in a free way.
In this meaning of the word "free", it's not included the meaning "cheap" or "without having to pay", but it's included the meaning "without creating for private interest", or better said, to make money.
My group of farmers are observed while we create for agriculture. When one of us does something with insufficient clearly, or probably only to make money, the rest of the group presents a complaint, and if this farmer is found guilty of acting for secret interests, it's asked to abandon the group.
This way of acting can sound a bit hard to handle, but I can assure it gives best results.
Plus, isn't this way of acting how free software achieved resisting Microsoft policies?
When ubuntu or fedora acted pretending they were the important linux systems, the rest of the world free software's community pressured over them to make them act rightly, and we saw that forced them to respect us.
So what if we continue acting in this way, to obtain free hardware?

That is interesting that naming a shaming works in your field.
Really a prefer to say "open" rather than "free". Because a dont believe it is wrong to make enough money to live, as you probably dont either. If you say free, as in not to make money, then you get into a debate about what is an acceptable amount of money to make.
Richard Stallman founder of the Free Software Foundation, insists on using free. But when asked how do I feed my kids? he responds that if you cant make it "free", ie open, you should do a different job.
Are we making progress? Apple notorious for hording intellectual property has made record profits-
Then consider google, they sponsor a lot of Open Source development, but get their money via advertising - which could be seen morally dubious.
So, I think we need to promote our ideas more and spread the word.
With regard to hardware, their are different hardware levels of openness. For example, the RaspberryPi and Arduino platforms are open at a circuit level. But some of the chips in the former, and maybe the later, arent totally open.

Well, I remember Richard Stallman visited my country for at least once.
He was received at the national University, at its Engineering Area called "Facultad de Ingeniería".
Now, at that "Facultad", students in favor of free hardware are going to present the following activity (at bottom of this text).
I'll try to go and see what they are doing, and know if that is really free hardware or not (or however it shoud be called instead of "free"... open? ecological?)
It may sounds funny, but we the ecological farmers also had some trouble to determine the name that describes us. The discussion was centered about if we should be called ecological, organics or family.
Perhaps this sort of discussion about names does never end, but in the meantime, a certain battle always takes place: the one that puts selfish people who doesn't care for the rest of society, confronting those who try to make of this world a better place.
I'll try to don't judge Stallman no matter he did. I expect that even if a significant person does something unacceptable, the organization we create (the society, as some prefer to say) will put each one of us in the place that each one of us deserve. And the real mistakes each one of us makes, won't be correctly denounced by journalists or press, but for the results of their work. One day, lots of people believed Bill Gates was a great person, and now, few years later, no one would believe he's special in some way, isn't it?
And I wouldn't care too much for the luck of corporations. Apple or Microsoft can shout they are the most important thing in the world, and Ubuntu or Linux can corrupt or whatever, but there's something that remains almost untouched, and it's that technology and science are not the same thing. Did you know Einstein only needed his brain and a pencil to develope his enormous capacity?
But, I don't agree with Stallman when he says, "what if computers suddenly disappear? then we can continue without any problem!".
That's a too romantic view of technology. I think we must care for computers in the same teams as we care for our society problems. As they help us, care for them. Not more, not less.
I didn't have time to translate the following information, but if google's translator doesn't help to understand it, you can ask me about it.

I think the perception of Bill Gates by the general public (at least in the UK) is that of a computer wizard and great entrepreneur.

Well, I wouldn't say people hates Bill Gay in my country, but it's for sure that here in Uruguay people don't believe they must thank Gates for anything.
But it's not of smart people to continuously be criticizing personal defects of others, so I apologize. But, instead of complain for what Gates could have done, I always consider necessary to look for the ways to demand against him throw law, since free software wouldn't have needed to be created if private software hadn't appeared in the world.
Because of us, free software users and developers, never used to defend our rights using law (as it logically corresponds), we have always been strongly or weakly accused (always accused) of being friends of hackers and all sort of people who likes acting against law.
I never liked that thieves mask put on our faces, specially when the real thieves have a name and it is privative software, don't you think so?

Fortunately there are some free hardware manufacturers.
In a Spanish-language forum, we talked about which manufacturers to take greater account.
We particularly liked the site http://opensourceecology.org/
because not only talks about creating free hardware, but also to live in a healthy environment.
Because maybe, if the place where you create the hardware people do not live in an ecological way, can make good machines but the workers are not happy.
From now on my farm, we aim to stop using computers that do not know who created them, as brand awareness is not enough.
We accept projects to bring our country open source machines, because we have no national technology.
In return, we offer visits to beautiful places and exchanges of information about living green.

Hank Halter, a current board member at Delta Community Credit Union, has been named interim president/CEO effective Jan. 1 while the $4.3 billion cooperative continues its search for a permanent successor to replace Rick Foley who retired on Dec. 31.
Foley, who worked at Delta Community in Atlanta for 26 years, took the helm in 2004 and remained in this role until year-end 2012.
A certified public accountant, Halter worked at Delta Air Lines from 1998 to 2012. He served in a number of finance positions there before being promoted to chief financial officer in 2008, according to the credit union.
Prior to Delta Air Lines, Halter worked at American Airlines and Ernst & Young.
In addition to Delta Community's board, he also serves on the board of directors of Erickson Air-Crane where he is chairman of their audit committee, and the Atlanta Police Foundation.
Halter holds a bachelor of science degree in accountancy from Villanova University and a master of business administration degree from Duke University.
"We want to take the time to find the right candidate who can build on the success we have achieved over the past few years," said Jim Diffley, chairman of the board for Delta Community. "We are fortunate to have someone with Hank's experience available to step in at this time. Hank has an excellent working relationship with the strong management team we have in place, and together they will keep the credit union's performance moving forward."
Halter said he is honored to have the opportunity to lead the credit union during this interim period.
"Our employees believe deeply in our mission to provide outstanding value and service on the deposit and loan products people use every day," Halter said. "Through their efforts, the credit union added a record number of new members last year and generated excellent financial results. I look forward to continuing that positive momentum and will serve in this capacity as long as needed."
Founded in 1940, Delta Community now serves nearly 266,000 members.

Since the Windows Phone community is still relatively small, we get the chance to know developers on a first name basis. One of those developers is Rudy Huyn, who has been behind some very popular apps on Windows Phone. There's the Wikipedia app, which won Microsoft's Next App Star contest. He also has some other fun apps like TVShow and recently released 6tag. He also reached a milestone in the Windows Phone Store. What happened?
Rudy has over a dozen apps in the Store, from titles like Wikipedia, 6Sec, 9Gag, Fuse and more. These apps are all together very popular and constantly top their respective section of the Store. He's been around since the launch of Windows Phone 7. In fact, TVShow was built in a 30 hour period based off of community feedback.
Long story short, Rudy has been making some pretty handy apps on Windows Phone for a very long time. Earlier today he crossed the 3 million mark for number of times all his apps have been downloaded. That means the all of his apps combined have now been downloaded and installed over 3 million times. It was just earlier this year, around February, that Rudy had about 1.1 million downloads. So to that we say:
Congrats Rudy.

I am a diehard Seahawk fan - born and raised in Seattle, had season tickets with my dad since the Rick Mirer era until I moved away after graduating from UW. I now live in Athens, GA - I'm here for law school - and I am surrounded by Falcons fans who don't take our Seahawks seriously.
My question is: how do you think our 'Hawks match up with the Falcons? I'm not afraid of them personally. Their defense is soft and their offense can be contained (as evidenced by the Cardinals' performance against them in ATL a couple weeks ago.)
Thoughts? How do y'all think we match up against the Falcons? Potential playoff opponent, yes? (I just finished finals and am super hammered so sorry if this post isn't incredibly well organized/thought-out.)

Ear infections are a part of growing up, but if they become a recurrent or severe problem, your health care provider can recommend the most effective treatment.
Ear infections are troublesome for everyone, especially children. Majestic Tam, M.D., Mayo Clinic Health System ear, nose and throat physician, answers important questions about this common ailment.
Q: What causes ear infections?
A: Middle ear infections, which are the most common ear infections, are caused by a bacterium or virus that infects fluid that builds up in the middle ear. Ear infections are often a direct result of a common cold, allergy or other upper respiratory illness.
Q: Why do children have more ear infections than adults?
A: Eustachian tubes are narrow channels inside your ears that allow drainage – preventing fluid in the middle ear from building up. Children have Eustachian tubes that are shorter, more narrow and straighter than those of adults. These tubes can clog with fluid easier and cause infections.
Q: How do I know if my child has an ear infection?
A: Some of the common signs of an ear infection in children are:
Ear pain, especially when lying down
Tugging or pulling on the ear
Trouble sleeping
Hearing difficulty
Headache or fever
Fluid drainage from the ear
Q: How do you treat an ear infection?
A: The best treatment for an ear infection depends on many factors, including the age of the child and the severity of the symptoms. Most ear infections clear up on their own within a week without medical treatment such as antibiotics. However, there are ways to lessen the pain such as using a warm compress, pain medications and eardrops. Children with chronic ear infection issues may need the surgical placement of ear tubes to drain the fluid and prevent future infections.
Q: What is swimmer's ear?
A: Swimmer's ear is an infection of the outer ear canal. It's most often caused by moisture that collects in the ear and aids in bacteria growth. It's more common in people who spend a lot of time in the water – hence the name, "swimmer's ear." Medicated eardrops are the most common treatment of swimmer's ear.
Q: How do you prevent ear infections?
A: Ear infections are sometimes unavoidable, especially with small children. However, there are some ways you can reduce your risk:
Use a hair dryer to dry out your ears after swimming or bathing
Don't use any objects to clean out your ears
Practice good hand hygiene
Avoid second-hand smoke
Avoid bottle feeding your infant in the lying position
Protect your ears from excessive noise by using ear plugs
Q: What is ear candling and is it safe?
A: Ear candling involves placing a lit, cone-shaped candle into the ear canal.
The theory is that the heat from the candle will draw earwax out and clean the ear. Research has shown that this is NOT true, and ear candling is not an effective way to clean the ears. In fact, it often pushes the earwax further into the ear canal and can be quite dangerous. There is a risk of burning your face, hair and ears. You can also puncture your ear drum. If you do have earwax blockage, do not use ear candling. Instead, see your health care provider for more effective and safe ways to remove earwax.
Ear infections are a part of growing up, but if they become a recurrent or severe problem, your health care provider can recommend the most effective treatment.
To schedule an appointment at Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James, please call 1-877-412-7575.
Mayo Clinic Health System will offer a Speaking of Health presentation on ear infections that is open to the public in the main conference room of the hospital at Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James on Thursday, April 18 at 7 p.m.

Smith DNA Official Project-All Locations-A FamilyTreeDNA Project
|Smith DNA Group R-M269-33 John Smith b c 1797 VA, Johann Michael Schmidt b c 1746 Germany
Smith DNA Matched Group GRP-R-M269-33
discussion of the Smith Official DNA Project group R-M269-33 that includes lineages that we believe all match together, even when the specific paper trail linkages between ancestors are unknown or cannot be proven.
(5/30/2014 Views 191)
For the Smith Official DNA Project (All Locations) a minimum of 25, or better, 37 YDNA markers, is strongly recommended. Many times one can appear to match other kits but the match falls apart after 12 markers. We do not attempt to match kits into groups on less than 25 with the exception of a strong paper trail or known family kinship with another tester.

I know it is not a choice but would you have rather our season ended the way it did or have gone to the super bowl and lost? I like ending the way it did. I think it leaves us more hungry with the team we have. Losing the super bowl would be such an emotional letdown it would be hard to overcome. Or I could just be wrong. Just musing during the slow months.
BTW I m so glad Kap didn't win the super bowl. Could you imagine the hype over him if he did. Ahhhhhhhhh
