The winner goes on to face the Harvard Westlake-Edison winner in the finals.

Beckman's girls soccer team will be playing under the lights again, facing Flintridge-Sacred Hart Tuesday at 7 at Irvine Stadium.

The winner of that match goes on to face the Harvard Westlake-Redlands East Valley winner in the title match.

On Monday, CIF officials announced the CIF finals schedule for Tarbut V' Torah boys team and the Woodbridge girls squad today.

Tarbut V' Torah will play No. 1 Ribet Academy in the 6AA title game Thursday at 6:15 p.m. at Colony High in Ontario.

TVT will be out to win the title after losing last year to Desert Christian.

TVT Coach Patrick Roberts was hoping that the title game would be played at Mater Dei, where he coached earlier in his career.

In girls basketball, No. 3-seeded Woodbridge will be out to win its second straight CIF title when it faces No. 1 Mater Dei in the 2A title game Saturday at 1 p.m. at The Pyramid at Long Beach State.

Tickets for the games will be available for purchase at each school, starting Tuesday, according to CIF officials.

Horrific Soccer Injury

Over the past weekend, Aaron Ramsey, a teenage soccer player at Arsenal sustained a broken tibia and fibula at the hands of an aggressive tackle by Ryan Shawcross.  As you can see in the video, Shawcross, plunges into the challenge as Ramsey collapses like a rag doll and the players close enough to see the injury frantically wave over the paramedics.  Some of the Arsenal players have their face in their hands as they see Ramsey's leg dangling at a very unnatural angle.  If you look at the player's right leg, you can see that the leg bends, not at the usual points of the knee or ankle, but somewhere between. 

The ensuing scene is a mess. Ryan Shawcross is sent off.  Before he leaves the field he sees the outcome of his reckless tackle and is reduced to tears and he takes his captain's armband off.  Between the pain of the injured player, the concern on behalf of his teammates and remorse of the aggressor, it's a very moving scene that illustrates the level of emotion these guys commit to every game for our entertainment and their massive pay checks.  We can only hope that young Ramsey can recover from this injury.

Despite the horror injury, it made me think:  If I worked in an environment where there was a chance something like that could accidentally happen to me, but in return, I earned a professional football player's salary, I would probably take it.  I mean imagine if you just had this horribly sadistic boss who loved setting bear traps in shady corners of the office.  One day you're making copies and you step back a few paces while yawning and SNAP you've got a shattered leg.  Still, you're going home and collecting weekly unemployment checks that are more than most people's yearly salary.  Pain is only temporary, money lasts a little longer.  But I digress….

What's the worst sports injury you've ever endured? and yes, chess counts.

Such a sweet family! Jennie Garth and husband Peter Facinelli were joined by their two youngest daughters - Lola, 7, and Fiona, 3 - and the nanny as they cheered on their eldest daughter Luca at her soccer game in Woodland Hills, Calif. on Monday (March 1). Luca, 12, is just as tall as her 37-year-old mama!

We just spotted the 'Facinelli Five' at the Milk + Bookies event last weekend.

Jennie just announced that she has signed a two-book deal to begin writing her own children's books. The books are set to hit bookshelves in 2011.

Sony just held a press conference on the floor of PMA to unveil their upcoming Alpha-series "ultra compact interchangeable lens camera." When it launches later this year, it will bring with it Sony's new APS-sized Exmor HD CMOS sensor, which is physically bigger than that of its micro four-thirds competitors. The system will have its own series of lenses and will also be able to shoot 1080p HD video in their AVCHD format. Other details are sparse, but they were showing off several different colors of the body. Take the jump for more photos, including some explanatory slides about the new system..

During the conference, Sony also revealed that they're currently working on a successor for the mid-range a700, which will also use the Exmor HD CMOS sensor. The prototype has a dedicated video button, which means their next DSLR will be the first to shoot video of any kind, let alone 1080p HD.

  • Readers of ProLost, pat yourself on the back.

    In the 18 months since Canon announced the Canon 5D Mark II, you’ve written, you’ve called, you’ve left comments here and on Vincent Laforet’s blog. You politely but firmly harrassed Canon personel at trade shows. Perhaps most significantly, you put your money where your mouth is and bought 7Ds, showing Canon that 24p is even better than Bokake.

    It delights me to no end to read these words in a Canon press release:

    Developed following feedback from photographers and cinematographers, Firmware 2.0.3 further enhances the EOS 5D Mark II’s excellent video performance. The addition of new frame rates expands the camera’s video potential, providing filmmakers with the ability to shoot 1080p Full HD footage at 24fps (actual 23.976fps)—the optimum frame rate for cinematic video. 25fps support at both 1920×1080 and 640×480 resolutions will allow users to film at the frame rate required for the PAL broadcast standard, while the new firmware will also change the 30fps option to the NTSC video standard of 29.97fps.

    I underlined a couple bits in there. Do they sound familiar? The wording is almost directly lifted from ProLost posts and my other communications with Canon.

    Does it seem like I’m patting myself on the back? Well I am. But you should too. I know that, at best, I played maybe a tiny role in this. But this is a very cool thing that has happened here—we spoke, and Canon listened.

    Read the full press release at dpreview.com.

    Take a trip down memory lane and view all ProLost posts tagged Canon 5D Mark II.

    And heck, buy a 5D Mark II from Amazon and support this site. I love mine, and I’m about to love it even more.

    So you’re thinking of ordering the Canon 1D Mark 3…

    However you need to make certain it will be really worth choosing. Completely fair, I mean for thirty five hundred you had better be sure you desire this kind of dSLR, and you’d best be sure you are not able to get what you require for more affordable.

    So who is a Canon 1D Mark 3 made for?

    Well, Definitely An advanced amateur with a deep pocket book, or a professional that needs a great dslr often inside her job.

    If you are an expert and also you depend entirely on pictures for your current salary, then usually I’ve found them to go for the upper end cameras, none the less, should you be a pro and are also enthusiastic about this specific canon eos for whatever reasoning, that’s alright too!

    And so, Is a Canon 1D Mark 3 a worth while eos?

    Sure, certainly.

    With exceptional auto-focus, parallel DIGIC III image cpus to get really quick performance, plus an ISO speed selection of 50 To 6400, whilst managing all those intense ISO stages really effectively…

    You are referring to one breathtaking digital camera.

    Nonetheless, here is what you need to know….

    Has it been well worth the money ALSO could you find equivalent or even better effectiveness cheaper?

    While it’s a fantastic canon camera, you can get a equivalent, if not greater, canon eos for less expensive, in the form of the 5D Mark II.

    The Mark II presents larger Mega-pixel , an improved quality image model (DIGIC IV) and a much more extensive ISO range (It could reach 12800 and 25600).

    Ok, There are aspects, certainly, where the Canon 1D Mark 3 is better than that Mark II…

    Such as, the af of the Mark 3 is normally more advanced than the Mark II, so if auto focus function is something which is really important for you, in that case it might be worth the more expensive amount.

    However for standard use, I’d personally generally go with the 5D Mark II.

    Plus, it’s one thousand dollars cheaper, that is certainly not anything you ought to overlook.

    Ok, don’t go deciding ones opinions expressly from this short article…You need to find out more. There are many of digital cameras on the market, and you must glimpse at at least some of them before you purchase one.

    The thing is you need to find a site that provides evaluations in a way that is more than just an overview of a dslrs technical specs…So what must you do?

    Well, I will inform you exactly what I recommend.

    I have found a site that does a really good job of reviewing the Canon 1D Mark 3 in addition to almost any additional Canon digital camera available right now. Per canon camera they go over the Advantages and disadvantages, and also go very deep.

    Much better than just reading buyer reviews or something like that.

    Obviously every piece of information is free of charge, it’s just a great site which i believe you may get something out of.

    A Tale of Carmen

    Last week I received an e-mail from another old student, Carmine Narine:

    Good Morning Mr. Morris,  You may not remember me but I saw your blog online and decided to reach out as I have thought about you many times during the last 20 years.  I attended PS 106. You were my 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teacher. My name is Umawattie Narine but I went by Carmen.  I remember our trips to bird watch at Jamaica bay and the stencils and sketches of birds we did.  But most of all I remember the stamp collection we started. I still have it!   I wanted to let you know that back then I wasn’t very confident but you made me feel important and smart. You were the best teacher I have ever had.  We once listened to Les Miserable in class and when I saw the actual play- I cried and I felt ahead of my time. I know that sounds strange but I felt so good that I knew everything about it because I had a teacher who not only taught us Math and English— you taught us about life and art.   You always had confidence in me and it gave me confidence to strive to be better in all things.   I hope this email reaches you and that you are well.  Thank you for everything you did for all the kids whose lives you touched.   Carmen

    After I wrote Carmen, she wrote back to me:

    Good Morning Mr. World Famous Bird Photographer!   I work in Ad Operations for Conde Naste.  I manage the ads on our websites and make sure the clients’ campaigns serve and perform well.  It is fun and I love it worked at The Weather Channel and the NBA doing the same thing.   I am so sorry to hear that Mrs. Belsky died,  and yes, I do remember her.  Her class came a few times on our class  trips.

    I don’t have a picture from our class but I have attached one that should help. I ended up graduating valedictorian from the 6th grade. I was in Mrs. Lowe’s class.   I have read your Blog- that’s actually how I found you- I was so excited!!   I am so glad you are doing well and I will continue to follow your Blog. A friend of mine is also a photographer and I tried convincing him to take up Bird Watching.   Carmen

    I wrote Carmen back telling her how proud I am of her.  It is of course quite rewarding to hear from my old students.

    Handholding the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS

    Recently I have begun handholding the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS /EOS-1D MIV combo to good advantage.  I have been using the principles taught to me by my friend, Posse member Jim Neiger.  The advantages of handholding are that you are more quickly and easily able to get on the action than if you were using a tripod.  Especially when it would be necessary to move the tripod before starting to photograph a new situation.  And it is easier to frame fast moving birds (especially those that fly somewhat erratic patterns) and to frame and follow frantic action  when handholding than it is when working atop a tripod.

    Do know that it is only necessary to hold the lens up for short periods of time, say 10-20 seconds at most.  Before raising the lens it is best to support it in some manner to prevent fatigue.  Jim’s mantra is “practice, practice, practice” so that when you raise the lens you are able to get right on the subject.  I have been after Jim for a year or two to put together “The Guide to Handheld Photography With Big Telephoto Lenses.”

    In the opening White Pelican image in this post it would have been impossible to get as low as I wanted low with the tripod-mounted 800 on the crowded pier that the IPT group was working from.  So I simply sat on the edge of the dock, supported the lens on my bent knee when waiting for the situation to improve, and then raised the lens when the big, beautiful birds swam into the perfect position.  In the relatively low light situation I supported the back of my left wrist and hand again on my bent left knee.  (I did not realize that I had been working at such a slow shutter speed; my technique must have been perfect!)   Do compare the light and the exposure data with that of  the similar White Pelican image at the top of the February 19 post below; that one was created in full sun.

    Top 10 Christmas Gift Ideas for the Nintendo Wii Gamer

    Nokia Handy billiger kaufen

    Do you have a kid on your Christmas list that has a Nintendo Wii? Has that kid been begging for a Christmas gift that they can use for their Wii? Many games for the Wii cost $50 or more, so if you don't want to spend that much, you may think you have to buy some cheap, crummy game that the kid will try to return the second the stores open on December 26th. Is there anything for a Nintendo Wii that costs $20 or less that a kid will actually want this Christmas? Fortunately, the answer is yes. Here are five items that should bring out smiles instead of groans this Christmas.

    1: Wii Points. For those of you who are unaware, the Wii does not only play the games you can find in boxes at the store; there are also downloadable games that a Wii owner with an internet connection can access. These games fall into two general categories. First, there are older games that span the range of consoles from the original NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) to the Nintendo 64. The number of Wii points required to download these games varies, but in general, the oldest games require the fewest Wii points while the most recent titles require the most. Secondly, there are downloadable games made specifically for the Wii. These are known as “Wiiware”. The quality of these games varies considerably, along with the number of Wii points necessary to buy them. (My personal favorite Wiiware title is a puzzle game called “World of Goo”). Wii points can be acquired in two ways. You can either go on your Wii and enter the “Wii Shop Channel” and purchase them with a credit card, or you can buy a “Wii Points Card” that has a number on it which you enter when you connect to the Wii Shop Channel. These cards are sold for $20 and give you 2000 Wii points. These cards can be found at Toys 'R Us, Gamestop, or most any retailer that sells video games. Most NES games cost about 500 Wii points, Super Nintendo games about 700 or 800, and most Nintendo 64 titles go for around 1,000 Wii points. Wiiware titles vary greatly, but most are between 700 and 1,500 Wii points. Depending on kind of games a kid is into, one Wii points card can buy up to four games.

    2: Bargain titles. Not all Nintendo Wii games cost $50. There are many that are $20 or even less. BUT, let the buyer beware. There is a ton of “shovelware” (crappy video games that lure the unsuspecting buyer into getting them because of the picture on the box, an association with a movie or popular TV show, or affiliation with a well-known company, such as racing games with 'Kawasaki' in the title). Rather than include an exhaustive list of the good cheap games and the bad ones, I would encourage you instead to check out two web sites in particular. The first is Metacritic.com. This site reviews movies, TV shows, and video games. If you have seen some games at a store that are $20 or less, write down the names of the titles and then log on to Metacritic.com. Metacritic has reviews for every game out there, and they are NOT specific to one site or one reviewer. Instead, Metacritic pulls game reviews from a wide variety of video gaming sites and then gives a game a rating based on an average of all the reviews. You can also see the reviews that Metacritic used in compiling their average and read them, giving you an idea of what the game is like. Another site that has generally excellent reviews is IGN.com. IGN.com is not afraid to call a crappy game crappy and is generally quite reliable in their reviews. By checking out these two sites, you CAN find a decent Christmas gift for your Wii enthusiast for $20 or less.

    3: Used games. Again, you need to beware of shovelware, but if you have done your homework and know what titles are both good AND cheap, this can be a good option. Your best bet is to try Ebay. You can find almost every game for the Wii and oftentimes at a good bargain. If you don't want to make your purchase online, then Gamestop is the best of the retailers offering used games. They are guaranteed to work and can allow you to get some of the mid-priced games for less. Don't expect to find a $50 game for $20, though. The discounts for used games are not that steep.

    4: Gamecube games. Gamecube games, while harder to find these days, will actually play on the Wii. They are also considerably less expensive than most Wii titles and, truth be told, many of the good Gamecube games out there are WAY better than a lot of the shovelware being pumped out for the Wii. Note, though, that virtually all Gamecube games out there are used and will require a Gamecube controller or classic controller. The prices, though, are excellent. Gamestop.com has a large selection of Gamecube games under $10 and many under $5. You're just not going to find in-box games that play on the Wii for much cheaper.

    5: Accessories. If the kid on your Christmas list already has all the hot games, try an accessory. Accessories include things like strategy guides for games they already have, skins (sort of like fancy coverings) for the Wii and its remotes, or even batteries for the remotes themselves. While maybe not as exciting as a new game, the right accessory can still brighten the Christmas of any Wii-loving kid. Many accessories can be found for less than $20 at places like Target, Toys 'R Us, and Gamestop.

    So be smart! Be cheap! With a little effort you can get a Christmas gift for the Wii fan on your Christmas list and still have a few dollars left to buy a fruitcake for that 'friend' you'd rather see a lot less of.

    Lean Six Sigma is an altered form of the Six Sigma process. Although it has the basic fundamentals of Six Sigma, Lean has a few differences that set it apart from basic Six Sigma Training. Knowing the difference can prove to add more to your quality improvement projects then you would have ever thought possible.

    The eight elements of waste is the focus of the Lean Six Sigma Process. It has been proven that by simply removing these areas of waste, the company will actually improve quality. Below you will find what the Lean process considers wastes, and examples of each.

    -Wasted human talent: this includes people who don’t have a specific job function within the process or are simply slowing down the process with their presence.

    -Defects: Any product or process that is not working properly. Before they can be eliminated, however, they will require a fixable solution.

    -Inventory: This is when there is to much work that is on a waiting pile. For example, If you are a doctors office and you have to many patients waiting to be seen at one time.

    -Overproduction: Having to much of something before it is needed may be harmful to the organization and efficiency of the operation you are working in.

    -Wasted Time: many times you will find that you can not go any further until you receive a product or piece of information from someone. Instead of sitting around waiting, this time would be better spent on processes or activities that may need some extra assistance.

    -Motion: When talking about motion, it is pretty self explanatory. It refers to the moving around of people when there is absolutely no need for it. An great example of this is when you make an appointment for a clinic and you are sent to triage, then back to the waiting room and then to the exam room. Everything should just be down right in the exam room.

    -Transportation: If the company is using a means of transportation for a person or product that is not needed, then that would fall under the wasteful category.

    -Process Waste: Process Waste refers to any that a company requires to be complete, however it has no impact on the process, product or service that the company offers.

    Understanding these waste products will enhance the quality improvement projects that you approach using Lean Six Sigma processes.

    Co-authored by “Fumo Verde”

    On September 1, 1990, the Grateful Dead were scheduled to perform at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California but couldn't due to the recent death of keyboardist Brent Mydland less than two months earlier. Instead of canceling the show, Jerry decided the best solution was to have the Jerry Garcia Band step in and perform.

    This show wasn't an homage to an old friend or a played-out patronizing tribute for the fans; it was about the music and the soul inside the band. The members of the JGB are its namesake on guitar and lead vocals, Melvin Seals on keyboards, John Kahn on bass, David Kemper on drums, and Gloria Jones and Jackie Labranch providing backing vocals.

    Opening up the first song of set one was “How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You,” written by Lamont Dozier and Brian and Eddie Holland for the Motown label. The JGB plays it different than any of Motown's artists who have performed it, coming out with bluesy-essence, almost ragtimesque in spirit.

    This gets the crowd involved, although since this is recorded right through the soundboard, you can barely hear the crowd at all, yet you can see it in the face of the band.

    From that, they go into “Stop that Train” and for all of us natty-dreads we feel the roots of this one.

    Written by Peter Tosh and preformed by Bob Marley & the Wailers on their debut album, “Catch a Fire,” Fumo's favorite, Jerry's voice is so different than Marley's or Tosh's as it catches the vibe and roots of tale being told. “Dear Prudence” taken from “The Beatles,”and then into Dylan's “I Shall Be Released. Each of these songs is not played as a cover, but as new sounds being experimented on by a highly talented team of professionals. The first set ends with the Hunter/Garcia original, “Deal,” which captures the glory of the old west

    The second set is filled with just as much energy and emotion. too. “I Second That Emotion” by Smokey Robinson. Again, the JGB redefines the song from a Motown pop icon into a folksy, almost-southern-rock tempo that could make white men jump. Think” by Jimmy McCracklin, a blues song if there ever was one, is played that way with emotion flowing out of every pore of Jerry's body, but the killer-diller of the show, the song that lets him, his guitar, and the band unleash their souls is the Gillespe/Smith tune, “That Lucky Old Sun.”

    It has been performed through the years by many of the greats: Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, and Bing Crosby, but according to biographer Blair Jackson in the “Interview” section, Ray Charles' version was Jerry's favorite interpretation and that is the style he emulates. If he were singing one for his old friend Brent, then here it is. As always, the JGB leaves on a positive note with another Dylan tune; “Tangled Up In Blue” is played in that old “rhythm and Dead” style.

    The music here is on fire from beginning to end, being rooted in folk, gospel and R&B. With the genius of Jerry at the helm, the experimentation keeps on truckin' even into the ‘90s. The camera work is your basic concert footage. The interviews are too short and don't really cover the event as it happened, but it is good to hear from the band members. Robert Hunter also gives an interview, again way to short, but he is a busy man.

    All in all, this is a great DVD, be you a Deadhead, a Jerry freak, or someone who just likes to have live concerts to watch in your humble abode; Jerry Garcia Band Live At Shoreline is one of those shows. Jerry is all about the music and this performance shows you that.

    Recently recommended to a fellow blogger looking for a waterproof HD video camera the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1—perfect for recording your vacations into the wilderness or, in the words of Sebastian the crab from The Little Mermaid, “under da sea.”

    Blog post: “I am in a really big predicament right now just before the holidays. I want a camcorder for Youtube reviews and camping trips but can’t seem to find the best one. My choices are the Flip Ultra HD 120minute model, the Kodak Zi8 or Zi6, Sony Webbie HD, or the Flip Mino HD. I like the Ultra because of the AA battery option but like the Zi8 for the 1080p and SD card storage. I am going backpacking next summer so I need a waterproof camera to and I was thinking of getting a camera that shoots HD instead of buying 2 devices so that could be an option too.”

    Comment: Did some research around waterproof HD camcorders: found the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1. It’s waterproof, shockproof and dustproof—rugged, I say. Shoots in 720p and takes 12MP stills. Here’s the link at Amazon; it’s reviewed very well.

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1, December 21, 2009
    By Ken2 (FL) - See all my reviews

    Its only waterproof to 10ft, but thats all I need. Its small enough to fit in your pocket fairly easily. The features and menus are well thought out and easy to use. Video quality is very good. As of now, this is the only waterproof pocket size camera with HD video, and Zoom during video. It works well and the quality is great. The picture quality is good as well. Nice sharp pictures. I haven't dropped it yet to check the “shock proof” part of it, but hopefully that goes well. I'm definitely happy with the purchase.

    I’ve been looking at the pocket-sized HD camcorder offerings myself, and have taken a look at all you’ve mentioned. Seemed to me that the Kodak Zi8 had the best feature set for the money. Key differentiator for me is that the Zi8 is the only one with an input for an external mic (Amazon page).

    Hope this helped! Let me know what you decide. Saw the Zi8 at Target the other day for $179.99; thinking of going back and buying it.

    The Panasonic AG HVX200 was released in December 2005 in NTSC format and April 2006 in Pal. It is a high definition video camera with a fixed lens. It records HD video on solid state P2 cards or DV video on MiniDV tapes.

    What Is P2?
    P2 is tapeless recording of DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO-HD, or AVC- Intra streams on a solid state flash memory card. It is a professional digital videos storage media which was introduced in 2004 by Panasonic.

    One of the main advantages of P2 is that card can be used directly with your PC if a slot is available. There may be some additional drivers that need to be installed for this to work but once up and running it can save a lot of time and effort when trying to transfer the data.

    The Panasonic AG HVX200 has many upgraded and additional features making it a high end camcorder for the more professional video makers. The Panasonic AG HVX200 offers an extensive menu which new users may find a little daunting, the more professional on the other hand will be amazed at what this camcorder has to offer.

    Panasonic AG HVX200 Features:
    Advanced gamma functions and eight gamma settings including two CineGammaTM modes and NewsGammaTM mode

    Advanced image adjustments: color matrix, detail, chroma phase, color temp, knee points
    Two ND filters: 1/8, 1/64

    82mm filter diameter
    Two P2 card slots with hot swap capability
    Hot swap, loop, pre-record (3 seconds in HD, 7 seconds in SD), one shot, and interval recording functions

    Mini-DV tape transport for DV recording
    Internal downconversion and frame rate conversion from HD source recorded on P2 cards to Mini-DV tape

    True high definition image quality with low-compression DVCPRO HD intraframe recording
    Multiple formats: DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO, DV selectable
    High definition recording formats: 1080/60i, 1080/24p, 1080/24pA, 1080/30p, 720p (variable frame rates)

    82mm filter diameter
    Two P2 card slots with hot swap capability
    Hot swap, loop, pre-record (3 seconds in HD, 7 seconds in SD), one shot, and interval recording function

    SD memory card slot for sharing scene files
    Remote control for zoom, record (start/stop)
    Remote control for focus, iris control

    SMPTE timecode reader/generator with timecode matching with multiple cameras via IEEE 1394
    SMPTE color bars
    Three programmable user buttons

    Finding a camcorder with all these features is half the battle when trying to create professional videos. The AG HVX200 is so high tech it is widely used by news paper photographers and news readers.

    When purchasing any camcorder always ask if there are any extra items that you may need. Quite often a spare battery or case can mean the difference between getting that extra bit of film and not.

    This camcorder ranges in price. It can be anything from $2000 - $5000 depending what is offered along side it or as optional extras.

    Panasonic announced the availability of the company’s first 64 GB and 48 GB SDXC Memory Cards. The new SDXC Memory Cards, the RP-SDW64GG1K (64 GB) and RP-SDW48GG1K (48 GB) are Panasonic’s largest-sized Gold cards with Class 10 speed specification.

    Featuring new advanced Super Intelligent Controller helps to improve the reliability of the card and extend its lifetime. The new 64 GB and 48 GB SDXC Memory Cards will be globally introduced in February 2010.

    SDXC is the next generation SD Memory Card, a new standard for storing data more than 32 GB and up to 2 terabytes. The Panasonic 64 GB SDXC Memory Card features a massive 64 GB of capacity, making it ideal for recording AVCHD High Definition video, high-resolution, or even RAW still photos.

    When used with Panasonic’s camcorders, such as the Panasonic HDC-TM10, the 64 GB SDXC Memory Card can record up to 8 hours and 30 minutes of video, while recording in the highest video quality in HA mode. Or when recording in 1920 x 1080i in HE mode, the SDXC Memory Card can hold approximately 27 hours and 30 minutes of video.

    The 48 GB SDXC Memory Card will have nearly the same capacity as a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc, and can hold 6 hours and 20 minutes of HD video content recorded in HA mode and 20 hours and 20 minutes when recorded in HE mode.

    With the Class 10 speed specification and maximum data transfer speed of up to 22MB/s, the new Panasonic SDXC Memory Cards allows users to enjoy superb performance when using with an HD camcorder or a digital interchangeable lens camera, such as the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF1, for high-speed burst shooting when taking still photos.

    The 64 GB and 48 GB SDXC Memory Cards, along with other Panasonic GOLD line Memory Cards, provide longer lifetime, thanks to the adoption of Panasonic’s newly-developed Super Intelligent Controller, which evolves the current Super Intelligent Controller used in the Silver line Memory Cards.

    With the new Super Intelligent Controller, flash memories are automatically refreshed with error corrections, thus preventing data damages and providing longer lifetime.

    The new SDXC Memory Cards include a new technology designed to minimize accidental corruption caused by a power interruption, such as the Memory Card being removed while data is being transferred.

    NCAA Football 2010 Review

    My favorite Football-Trikot: Borussia Dortmund Fussball Trikot bestellen

    Throughout the history of the Madden and NCAA Football series there have been players exploiting the so-called “cheap” and “money” plays. But in the end it is the task of every player to stop these types of plays as best they can because if they're in the game, they're fair to use.

    One tough offense to stop in NCAA Football 2010 is the wildcat formation. Popularized by the Darren McFadden/Felix Jones Arkansas Razorbacks of a few years ago, the formation revolves around a running back or two operating out of the shotgun with the QB either on the bench or split out wide, usually as a decoy.

    The wildcat formation's goal is to make the numbers more favorable for the offense in the running game and to keep the defense at a disadvantage in terms of having the speed to stop the quick run from the main running back.

    The wildcat is very tough to stop against a seasoned player in the NCAA Football 2010 video game but it can be done if you practice enough.

    How to Stop the Wildcat on Defense in NCAA Football 2010

    The main goal for opponents who run the wildcat offense in NCAA Football 2010 is to get to the outside off of the quick snap to the running back. Most people I've played run to the outside the most out of the wildcat and then once they get your defense flowing to the outside, they start to run more up the middle or sprinkle in some fakes.

    The best way to stop the wildcat on defense is to sell out to stop it and take chances.

    The main defensive tip for stopping the wildcat pre-snap is to put your defensive ends in contain mode to cut off outside running attempts and funnel the RB back into the teeth of your defense in NCAA Football 2010.

    Try to do this as quickly as possible because wildcat teams like to snap the ball quickly to prevent defensive adjustments.

    Another tip for stopping the wildcat offense on defense is to shoot the gaps with your manually controlled linebacker safety. You need to do a little bit of guessing early on in the game to try and get the opponent out of their comfort zone. If you guess right and stop them in the backfield early on they will be more hesistant to run the offense much like what happens with option football teams.

    The ability to guess pre-snap with the “run mid” command or the “run left/run right” commands also helps a lot versus the wildcat. Most players like to run to the strong side of the field with this offense so shut that part down and spy the middle with your manually controlled defense and you can contain the wildcat offense early in the game.

    The best defensive alignments to use against the wildcat are speed-oriented formations wth lots of defensive backs such as the Dime 3-2-6 or the Quarters defenses. Try and bring your DB's as close to the line of scrimmage as possible and make your corners on the sides stay in zones to avoid being run out of the play in man coverage and to cut off the outside lanes.

    Stopping the wildcat on defense in NCAA Football 2010 can be tough, but it takes a team effort and lots of practice to stop. People like to abuse it, but swarm it early and stop them for losses and they'll be much more likely ot abandon it and begin throwing the ball. All things considered, remember to stay composed and don't run your defenders too far out of their lanes and eventually your opponent will make mistakes allowing you to stop him on defense in NCAA Football 2010.

    After being a faithful Kodak digital camera user for many years, I switched to a Sony digital camera and I've never looked back. Sony Cyber-Shot has become very popular among young adults, and has extensive advertising behind it. There are many commercials featuring this product, some of them celebrity endorsed. However, my decision to purchase this camera was after I saw a friend use it and I saw that the pictures were crisper and higher quality than my Kodak digital camera with the same mega pixels.

    Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 is a very slim digital camera, it is easy to take anywhere and features a 2.5″ LCD screen. The 2.5″ LCD screen on Sony Cyber-shot is large compared to other digital cameras, but it is also high-resolution giving you a clear and clean picture.

    As previously mentioned, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 comes with 7.2 mega pixels. The more mega pixels a cameras has, the larger picture files you will have. Once you have transferred the pictures to your desktop or laptop, you'll be able to crop and manage them easier if they are larger and higher-resolution. I find the 7.2 mega pixels to be easy to adjust and manipulate in Adobe Photoshop as well. As a Photoshop lover, I am able to crop favorite parts of the picture and play with Photoshop filters easier as the image is higher quality due to the larger mega pixels.

    I am also a big fan of the 3x optical zoom that comes with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750. As a parent, I love to take pictures of my son and try to not miss out on any of his funny antics. I find that Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 3x optical zoom is high quality, and it does not damage the overall resolution and quality of the zoomed in image as some other digital cameras do.

    The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 camera also comes with scene settings, that adjust color and flash automatically based on the mode you have chosen. For example, if you are at the beach, it is easy to select the beach scene mode from the menu which adjusts the flash and the color saturation giving you a high quality image without the beach sun brightness.

    The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 also takes 320 x 240 audio/video clips. Again, as a parent, it is so important to me to record my son's moments without purchasing an additional camcorder. This feature for me is exceptionally favorable when it comes to being on the go and I'm able to record family moments without much notice. The movie clips however are not long. The longest I have been able to record is a few minutes, due to the availability of free space on the memory card. It is still a nice and useful feature.

    Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 7.2-Megapixel Digital Camera costs about $129.99 at places such as Target.com and Circuit City. For the price, I believe it is a great bargain find. It is very user-friendly, even for digital camera beginners. With its setting modes and scene changes, it is also a good find for digital camera pros.

    I find this camera to be packed with features, but its most amazing notable feature is the high quality images that it takes. I have been very satisfied with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 and plan to only purchase Sony Cyber-shot digital cameras from now on.

    Out from the avalanche of CES announcements and way before any PMA 2010 releases, Samsung drops five new models. None of them is all that exciting, though, which could explain the odd timing.

    Whatever the reason, the most interesting is probably the HZ35W, a compact 15x megazoom with an ultrawide-angle lens, full manual controls, and built-in GPS for instant geotagging. A partner model, the HZ30W, is almost identical except the GPS is jettisoned and the screen is an LCD instead of an AMOLED. They're follow-ups to the HZ15W/HZ10W that had pretty mediocre photo quality and some design issues; hopefully those have been ironed out in this round.

    Also announced were three ultracompacts: the Samsung TL110, the TL104, and the SL630. The two TL-series models are particularly thin at less than 0.7 inch, and the SL630 is just normal thin. All three feature wide-angle lenses, but are otherwise unremarkable.

    They will all be out in February/March and, in true Samsung fashion, no prices were released.

    Samsung HZ35W:

    • 12 megapixels
    • 24mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 15x zoom
    • 3-inch AMOLED screen
    • GPS (geotagging, visual map, real-time location display)
    • 4.2 x 2.4 x 1.1 inches
    • 720p video (HDMI out)
    • Full manual controls
    • March 2010

    Samsung HZ30W:

    • 12 megapixels
    • 24mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 15x zoom
    • 3-inch LCD
    • 4.2 x 2.4 x 1.1 inches
    • 720p video (HDMI out)
    • Full manual controls
    • March 2010

    Samsung TL110:

    • 14 megapixels
    • 27mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 5x zoom
    • 2.7-inch LCD
    • Optical image stabilization
    • 720p video
    • 3.8 x 2.2 x 0.7 inches
    • February 2010

    Samsung TL105:

    • 12 megapixels
    • 27.5mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 4x zoom
    • 2.7-inch LCD
    • 720p video
    • 3.6 x 2.2 x 0.7 inches
    • February 2010

    Samsung SL630:

    • 12 megapixels
    • 28mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 5x zoom
    • 2.7-inch LCD
    • Optical image stabilization
    • 3.8 x 2.3 x 0.8 inches
    • March 2010

    Photography buffs may bury their feet deep into this piece of news. Samsung plans to expand its HZ-series of digital cameras by the inclusion of two new models, namely HZ35W and HZ30W. These devices are high zoom, point-and-shoot digital cameras. Both the digital cameras have a 12 megapixel resolution and provide the same wide-angle 24mm Schneider lenses.

    The cameras encompass the telephoto facility of the series from the 10x optical zoom to a striking 15x optical zoom. Moreover, the HZ35W is available with an extremely lucid and well-defined 3.0-inch AMOLED display and en suite GPS technology for the mechanical geo-tagging of pictures from anyplace in the world.

    SJ Park, CEO of Samsung Digital Imaging Company, commented, “These cameras represent what consumers can expect from Samsung. From their powerful optics to the exceptional combination of features which make snapping perfect pictures every time effortless, Samsung’s new HZ-Series goes above and beyond what’s expected from a point-and-shoot and raises the bar even higher for this class of high zoom compacts.”

    Both the devices’ optical performance is claimed to be unsurpassed among its rivalry in the compact high-zoom group. Since the cameras supply wide-angle and telephoto abilities, one can have an extensive shooting range from a shorter distance. This enables users to click stunning landscapes, complete wedding parties, and skyscrapers from a larger distance. The gadgets’ elevated performance Schneider KREUZNACH lenses are also paired with Dual Image Stabilization (IS). This facilitates users to take clear images by means of both Optical as well as Digital Image stabilizers. When Optical IS isn’t relatively sufficient, the Digital IS can mechanically assure to provide almost blur-free pictures.

    The 3-inch AMOLED screen of HZ35W can improve the experience for end-users by offering a much brighter and sharper display, which can effortlessly be seen in the exteriors, even under direct sunlight. The screen offers superior battery life, an elevated contrast ratio, additional animated colors, and the facility to exhibit pictures that can be seen at any angle, while entirely retaining the same color gamut. The HZ30W adorns a big, 3.0-inch TFT LCD.

    The HZ35W uses integrated GPS technology to locate and amass the precise place from where the images were captured. By using the HZ35W, users can geo-tag digital pictures, record the longitude and latitude of the location in the image taken. The digital camera is equipped to show the name of the city, state, and country on its display screen. Owing to its visual map-view attribute, one can even see the photos’ site on a map without uploading the pictures on the web.

    The HZ35W and the HZ30W both put high-definition video recording in the palm of users’ hands thanks to the ability to record video at a resolution of 720p / 30fps. Samsung also incorporates H.264 compression and delivers users with true HDMI connectivity, which enables the camera to be connected straightaway to an HDTV without the requirement of a cradle. Moreover, to additionally simplify the users’ capability to record the best video feasible, the devices provide Samsung’s superior scene recognition technology, Smart Auto.

    This technology, Smart Auto has been updated from the HZ15W and HZ10W, as it can now be utilized with video in addition to still images. Just as the way the technology examines the composition of a picture to choose the best scene mode while taking digital stills, the same procedure can be repeated for the video by selecting between one of four pre-programmed settings and choosing the setting that can deliver the best footage with correct exposure and color balance.

    The price tag of both the digital cameras, HZ35W and HZ30W are currently under wraps.

    Samsung starts off the year 2010 with the official announcement of its new mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, the NX10 — a significant event in the camera industry in more ways than one.

    For one, it marks Samsung’s first foray into the mirrorless interchangeable system — a market which thus far dominated by Olympus and Panasonic. For another, it could also spell an end to the South Korean electronic giant’s partnerships with Pentax to co-develop digital SLRs.

    Sega Game Review - Bart's Nightmare

    My Sega Game Gears by Thunderbirds101

    With all the hype over The Dark Knight, as well as the fact that Batman is one of my favorite super heroes, I thought I would write this based on some of the games out there. Batman: Revenge of the Joker for genesis is an ok video game. It is not horrible but I would call it that probably if I were not a Batman fan.

    This is a level based game that seven levels throughout with a boss at the end of each level. It is a side-scrolling format game so movement and action is limited. The objective of the game is to complete each level and then face and defeat the arch nemesis the joker.

    The game has weapons upgrades that are available through the game. You start with some weird projectile that I have never seen batman use. There is no batarang or any of the cool stuff Batman fans are used to. You have your standard life during stage play and get a bit more power when you fight the bosses. You are therefore able to take more punishment so you stand a better chance against the boss.

    The graphics are sound are pretty good based on the time period. I do not believe this to have much replay value. There really are too many better games than this to bother with, so unless you are a die hard Batman fan I would not fool with this.

    The first generation of exciting gaming consoles hit the market in the early 1970s. Since then, children have been clamouring for the latest gaming devices. These game consoles have come a long way since the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. Two most popular consoles on the market today are Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3 that deliver not only top-notch gaming experiences that support HD but also impressive multimedia features.

    Sony made its introduction in the console game world in the mid-’90s with the PlayStation and again in 2000 with Play Station 2. As expected, the Play Station 3 leaves its predecessors far behind, with gorgeous, HD graphics and a super-fast processor. It carries a higher price tag than the Xbox 360, but at the same time you might find the features it brings to you well worth the extra cost.

    The PS3 is available in two configurations: 40GB and 80GB. In addition to the extra storage space, the 80GB game console comes with Motor Storm, a popular off-road racing game exclusive to this console. A very striking feature of this version of PlayStation is its integrated Blu-ray Disc player (BD). If you’re a movie lover and want movies in HD, you might not need another reason to buy this game console. To enjoy excellent video quality of the BD player, pick up an HDMI cable to connect the PlayStation to your HDTV. It also includes an Ethernet cable for a wired Internet connection. With its SIXAXIS wireless controller and in-built web browser, you can surf the Internet and check out the online PlayStation Network. You can also use this to play DVDs and audio CDs, together with copying audio files to the Play Station 3 games hard drive. It sports four USB 2.0 slots, which let you connect your digital camera, download photos, and print them out on a USB printer.

Not only does the software modification to your console allow you to rip the contents of a disc in lieu of transferring it to a computer, but the program allows your Wii to recognise the DVD-Rs that you will use for storing your copied game.
     It’s all very simple. Once you have downloaded the Homebrew Installer, the processes of installing the Homebrew Channel are very quick. On the channel you have installed, you need to get a further piece of software that allows you to rip official Wii game contents to the SD card you have in the scheme for storage (if you do not have one, you need to get one).
     Once the transferral of a game disc’s content to your SD card, you need to go into the Wii’s Internet settings so you can see the console’s connection details that allow your Wii to have Internet access. Once you have obtained the IP address visible in settings, you then have the ability to this URL into your computer. From there, you are one step closer to being able to play copied Wii games.
     Once you have downloaded the information off your Wii and onto your computer (via the Internet or by inserting your SD card into your computer), you could burn the ISO image to a DVD-R. Then, the fun begins.
     As the Homebrew Installer channel allows your Wii to recognise DVDs (in essence, your console is also now a DVD player), your console in addition has the capability to allow you to play copied Wii games. Hence, you have the ability to protect your official game copy and have the
    1000
    chance of keeping it pristine.
     If the ISO images are small enough, a good tip for saving the cost of purchasing plentiful amounts of DVD-Rs is this: to try and fit as many copied games onto one disc as possible. As the typical DVD disc is nearly 5GB, you should be able to fit several games onto one DVD, saving you the time of switching between discs continually.
     There are a lot of advantages for when it comes to being able to play copied Wii games. The most notable advantage is the practicality of preserving the original disc you purchased and the opportunity of saving time hopping from one disc to the other. Have fun!
