Digital Zoom Versus Optical Zoom

The digital photographic photographic camera is but a technological advancement of the conventional analogue camera. And thus every constituent of the analogue photographic camera must have got been upgraded or changed to convey in some improvisations. This treatment is an attempt to unknot change and do one comparing between what was and what is! This treatment is thereby focused upon a very critical constituent of a photographic camera (analog as well as digital), the zoom!

Before making a comparing it is of import to discourse the significance of the topic matter, in this lawsuit the zoom. Well a zoom along lens system have more than than a few portable glass constituents inside it. By adjusting these components, the focal length of the lens system can be altered. Modifying the focal length alters the position distance as well as cut downs the field of view, thereby making the proposed mental mental image to look larger.

It must me noted that both the ocular zoom along along and the digital zoom are constituents that are used to magnify an image, but they work in fundamentally different rules and acquiesces drastically different results. In general, ocular rapid climbs always bring forth a far finer and advanced mental image than digital zoom.

Looking at the mathematical functions of these zooms, in digital photographic cameras that offering ocular rapid climbs work the same manner similar to a zoom along along lens system of a conventional analogue camera. A conventional lens system plant by accumulating visible light beams that are projected over a part of a film, and in this lawsuit of a digital photographic camera ocular sensor. The distance of the lens system system from the focusing point where all of the visible light beams converge is known as the focal length of the lens. Unlike the ocular zoom, the digital zoom along along plant by ranging the pels in the ultimate mental mental image after the image have been captured. The fact stays that the same figure of pels are collected when the exposure is magnified. The lone thing that alters is the visible light beams that are projected over the ocular detectors to calculate out those pixels.

It is a common intuition that ocular lenses are far better than the digital zooms. The ground is that the digital photographic camera rapid climbs are more than prostrate towards computing machine applications in them rather than mostly human interactions and expertise. Yet, it also stays a fact that novice photographers happen it more than utile to manage a digital zoom along and also its computing machine friendly nature. There the computing machine makes the Byzantine undertakings of determination some levelheaded estimate of colours that pel might take up as it had captured the mental images or photographs. Many algorithmic rules are existing in this area, but perhaps the most abundantly used algorithmic rule affects looking at the pels that are quite nearly like neighbours and come up up with a sort of an average. Anyways the procedure stays too complicated and its end result is what the digital zoom along users are interested in.

Thus the ultimate truth stays that it is useless to compare digital rapid climbs with ocular zooms. Perhaps it is more than logical to compare ocular zoom along along along along with ocular zoom and digital zoom with digital zoom. Both these two types of zooms, the ocular as well as the digital, have got some good and bad qualities. Both of them have got some other characteristics and penchants over the other. And thus it is not wise to compare them, even though a comparing may exist. The attempts would then perhaps look like comparing oranges with apples!

Canonizing the Musical Expression with Video-jockeying!

The mystery of interweaving ocular aesthetics to the melodies of a sonic atmosphere have reached pinnacles of success through Video Jockeying over the last decade. This new genre of apogee of fine art and technology, planning and spontaneity, imaginativeness and visualization, establish its roots inch 1966 when Andy Andy Warhol hosted a ‘Happening’ in New York’s New Cinematheque. On that day, for the first time, Andy Warhol projected soundless extracts of his ain movies to dwell music played by The Velvet Underground. The tendency snowballed with improvisations by Pink Floyd and integrating of laser visible lights by Jean-Michel Jarre. Live music shows were now becoming a scintillating experience with computing machine artwork and psychedelic affects, juxtaposing frameworks from different manners of mass media (films, newspaper, docudramas and magazines). By the early-mid 1980s, every dad record album had to be accompanied with a music video to do it to the charts! MTV was born owed to the overpowering figure of music videos produced. The term ‘VJ’ was coined to label the MTV host, a metabolism from a DJ. Over the years, with the broad popularity of this transposition, VJ no longer meant the MTV announcer, but a ocular affect choreographer, remixer, manufacturer and performer!

In improver to the originative acumen of the new genre of VJs, engineering provided a host of devices/tools to popularise this ingenious word form of art. Hallucinogenic undergoes were created with the coming of digital imagery, audio-visualizer software system and analogue/digital video mixers. Other popular hardware in the VJ’s armory include the Edirol V4, Pansonic maxwell & AVE series sociables and Korg's Entrancer personal effects unit. The Edirol V4 is a 4-channel Video Sociable made for portable or fixed installing use. It is ideal for usage in nightclubs, places of worship, theatres, and other unrecorded performances. With an enhanced V-LINK characteristic coupled for the multimedia geeks, the user can trip clips, and execute real-time video personal effects and transitions. The Korg pad entrancer is a completely new type of video consequence processor with a touching panel for fingertip control over mental images and sounds. A broad new scope of intuitive ocular personal effects may be created by different movements of the finger over the pad. It can even record the motion of your finger allowing the installation to reproduce complex reliable ocular personal effects very easily. The Chromascope video synthesist makes abstract 2-dimensional machine-controlled colored forms in full buddy resolution. The Pioneer DVJ-X1 is one of the up-to-the-minute inclusions in a VJ’s kit, empowering him to synchronise digital sound and video simultaneously to make an elite musical expression. This device made its introduction in springtime 2004.

Vjamm, Motiondive, Arkaos, Touch and Smode are some of the trendiest software system tools available to make the hypnotic video affects, where the VJ’s creativeness have no limits! VJamm, the audio-visual VJ software system is a realtime sample player featuring extremely fast response times with Midi support and 16 coincident channels of Ab with unrecorded effects. Clips can be dragged real-time with the chinks of a mouse for ingenious compositions. The tool also lets creative activity of personal personal effects and is compatible with any video cards, limited lone by the graphical card’s performance. Smode Studio is another complete public presentation solution for an first-class VJ public presentation allowing real-time ocular composition with 3D objects, images and videos with exquisite detail.

With the proliferation of MTV-genre of music channels and its growing popularity, the young-generation inch Republic Of India have establish a new avenue to research their creativity. As per Aditya Dev Sood, chief executive officer CKS, a user research and interaction designing firm, “Veejaying is in fact the new embodiment of technology, music and video, a jugalbandi of disk jockey and VJ”.

Cellphoney

With a smirk I have got to acknowledge I'm beginning to go the Old Fart that I've spent my life despising. You cognize World Health Organization I'm talking about; the guy/person who states material like, "I just don't understand the things people make these days."

Well, I don't.

The other twenty-four hours I was doing my picture taking and in the thick of a particularly dramatic sunset (as if they're not all!), in one of the most distant parts of the world, some people came into frame. No sweat. I like people. They be given to add to my pictures, like small spots of energy that dance on the organic structure of this large ol' Mama.

And then, sitting down together side-by-side in perfect framework place for a shot of the sun enflaming the ocean just over their heads, they each shook a cell telephone out of their several pockets and dialed in to some minutes somewhere else.

One of my life pursuits have been to larn to be more than than here, more present in each moment. As if to affront a lifetime of seeking, everywhere I travel are people being there now! On the street, in their cars, in your driveway, adjacent to you at the restaurant, coming out of the remainder room, in the center of a conversation even! Wherever you go, whatever you make you are surrounded by people whose organic structures are in presence of you, but their presence is elsewhere.

It's not like this was new to me. Somehow, though, this 1 just felt like a trade name new insult. Right at the place where you give up your cares to the profusion of the moment-- one of the few places where you can actually share your purdah with another human beingness – dwells the Intruder.

When this cell telephone thing first started to go forth the metropolises and acquire more than rural Iodine was living in an deliberate community in Oregon. It was (a surprisingly eclectic grouping of) about 30 grownups and 8 children living on 87 estate and running conference and permaculture designing centres along with hosting a personal growing workshop and publication a magazine. We were known as a community that really seeks to work the interpersonal connexion angle into the day-to-day (and formidable!) undertakings of life as illustrations of sustainability.

As you may guess, although not on the extremist "tree-sitter" side, even the former Navy Intelligence Officers in the community amongst us were clearly oriented toward a value system of human relationship over action, presence over distance.

But then, in my 5th twelvemonth there, more than than and more "guests" (people coming to a conference and disbursement the weekend life with us) were shaking out their cell telephones and walking around (of course within the confines of "live" musca volitans or whatever they're called) the place -- trails, creeks, hayfields -- chatting away with the ethers.

Every hebdomad we had a concern meeting. In one such as as meeting, where we make up one's mind policy and such, barely thinking twice about it, I set a movement up for general agreement on setting aside a specific country for people to utilize their cell phones.

Hell, there was precedent. Old Age ago the community did the same thing with coffin nail smokers. There was one small topographic point on the property, near the conference centre classrooms where one could travel to smoke. The truth is, it was a dingy lean-to type cast with one icky chair and an ugly, unfastened java can for butt ends sitting on the concrete walk. If I had come up to that community a smoker, I would have got discontinue out of absolute embarrassment. Since the country was in full position of the ways leading to the center, it always looked quite zoo-ish, the lone thing missing being Dunce caps for the less-than 1%ers.

It was my ardent hope that the community would experience that such as segregation would assist people face themselves much more than directly. Hopefully, which seemed to be true for smokers, eventually adequate people would experience uncomfortable adequate so that word would acquire out that of course we’re tolerant, but if you smoke or usage a cell telephone on this ball of nature, you’re gonna feel like an idiot.

I figured it would be a slam-dunk to acquire this 1 through but Boy, was I wrong! No sooner had the words, “I’m ill of seeing the ugly small glowing Bastards everywhere I turn,” come up out of my oral cavity than I noticed three or four hands out of a table of about 18 people reflexively going to some portion of their clothes or anatomy to do certain they had their cell telephones with them.

It reminded me of when I was a paramedical and walked into a tough-ass barroom on the other side of the paths when we -- me and my spouse being the lone achromatic cats around -- would catch small metallic element flickers of knives and guns getting made ready out of the corner of our eyes.

And these were my chap communitarians. It was then I knew life as I’ve known it is over.

Back to the beach. My first idea was, "What the Hell am I gonna make with this shot?" But then I realized, "Crap, they’re all similar this!!"

I've taken so many Primo-shots of deeply affecting Nature with people and cell telephones in them that I may as well pitch my whole portfolio toward whirling Marlboro Man mental images into Cellular Phone-promoting spreadings and gatefolds and booklets and whatevers and at least do some money off the darn photographs I stop up chucking because this unnatural thing is occurring.

And now, it's exponentially getting worse because the cell telephones take pictures.

On photographic undertakings on the beach, even as short a time ago as May (2005) I could work with sunset and shoot people celebrating it and not worry once about the result. Today (September) and in any shot with five or more than people in it, one of them is pointing their telephone either at their ear or at person else. Some of my images look like the stand-off of multiple gunmen in one of (actually, many of!) Quentin Tarantino’s flicks.

How chesty am I, though!

For being all of that balanced individual who I claim to be, here I am negating the experience of other world for nil more than my ain grasping demand to decease in a world that is familiar to me.

Probably 10 old age from now, it will be as common to have got people images loaded with cellular telephones as it was to see hankies in the pockets (suit pockets, no less!) of work force on the street in photos taken in the 1950’s.

Why makes that sound terrific to me?

Besides, if I had spent a small more than time observing and less time bitching while up on the bluff, I may have got establish that, indeed, each of these people was beaming out photographs of that joyful sunset to their mark callers. How Sweet -- sharing this glorious minute with friends in Louisiana under four feet of water!

It’s difficult adequate to be in a icky temper and have got to listen to that bubbling sap on the other end of any phone. But to be able to acquire the whole image of that joyousness is torturous. The minute goes a series of thumbscrews bleating, “See how Happy Iodine am? What’s incorrect with your suffering existence?”

You're so damn busy getting irritated at the companies felicity you can't even appreciate the beauty that's around you, that's the psyche that cellphones sucking out of you.

What will go on to our namelessness and privacy? “C’mon, Dear, I cognize you’re suffering but bend on the photographic camera so I can really see!”

No, I will not acquire a cell-phone. I don’t have got to. The last time my bike and I broke down on the road, for instance, I just jumped out in the center of the highway, spreading my fingers with my pinky pointed to my oral cavity and my pollex to my ear and within four autos and a close side-swipe, some cat pulled over and allow me utilize his cell telephone to name for help.

Like any red-blooded American, of course I reserve the right to be a hypocrite. But still, because I am an American, I shouldn’t have got to give up my inalienable right to hide. Places to conceal are getting fewer and additional between, and that, in the concluding analysis, is my bitch with cell telephones and their spawn.

Now, the privileged thrust SUV’s with those systems that put option you in touching with Central Command immediately in the event of an emergency. Like if one of the children in the dorsum place states “I gotta pee,” adjacent thing you cognize a voice come ups out of the celestial sphere to say, “Just do the adjacent left, travel two blocks and bend into the McDonald’s…Oh, and while you’re there, don’t bury to Supersize the fries, the other salt will assist the children hold their vesicas longer, and Mr. Mandel, delight don’t run the reddish visible light like you did that one three blocks ago.”

Though I have got nil against him personally, when Gary Coleman tells me (in commercial messages slathered over TV, Internet AND Movies!) “Somebody should” cognize where I am every minute of my life, I can’t aid but wince and set up for Armegeddon.

I cognize it starts with people like Gary appearing to me to set up me for the manner life will be. I cognize the same engineering that volition allow you see and talking to me will allow “them” see and listen to me, and frankly, I desire no portion of it.

Unless, of course, I acquire stranded.

Picture This: Helpful Photography Hints

Have you ever gotten back developed photos from the drugstore or film company only to discover that several shots turned out poorly—or not at all? Most camera buffs have experienced this type of disappointment frequently. Over time, though, picture takers become familiar with helpful techniques that can make photos come out much better than the earlier snapshots. Here are a few helpful hints you may want to try:

1. Get to know your camera. Read the instruction guide carefully, and contact the manufacturer with any questions you might have. Practice taking shots at varying angles and distances until you figure out how to get the best results. Work with the lighting options, including flash, for balance of perspective and shading. Keep fresh batteries and check them often to make sure they don’t give up just when you’re ready for that all-time spectacular, spontaneous shot of a twelve-point buck jumping over your parked truck.

2. Size up your subjects. Learn how to place people and objects in your viewfinder, as well as how to center landscapes. A basic book on photography or even a few suggestions in your camera kit can teach you how to juxtapose people within a pose to get the best results.

3. Practice until you get good at it. Keep a spare roll of film on hand and take pictures of anything cute or challenging. That will help you get used to the camera, and equipment if applicable, so that you will be ready for the big picture when the opportunity comes along. You may want to get a tripod or another piece of stabilizing equipment to hold the camera steady for photographs of yourself or group shots.

4. Ask a pro. It wouldn’t hurt to ask a professional photographer for a few hints in exchange for lunch. You may want to keep this in mind for upcoming special events, like weddings, birthdays, or holiday celebrations. You also can call a camera shop or pick up a book at the library if you want to learn more than the basics.

5. Protect your camera. Don’t let it get wet, of course. Also avoid leaving it in the car where it can get damaged by heat or cold, as well as get jostled by frisky kids or pets. Keep your camera in a carrying case, and store it safely in a closet or cupboard where it cannot get hurt at home. Don’t let anyone else use your camera unless you’re willing to take the chance of getting it back damaged, broken, or not at all.

Remember to take care of your photos after they have been developed. Store them in photo albums with acid-free paper backing, and arrange them in an order that will help you locate specific prints when desired. Keep the negatives on hand for a year or two in case someone wants a duplicate picture.

What is It to be Human and is It Something to be Proud of?

Some postulate that world are naturally fantastic loving animals and we are full of good. Others look out at the Gallic Riots or Machete and AK-47 violent deaths and state you have got to be kidding me? You name that a grouping of loving and caring; is this your fantastic world in their fantastic humanity? Of course this argument is as old as faith itself and have been pondered by philosophers throughout time. That is to state is world inherently good or are they innately evil?

On the side that world are good are those who state things like:

“What you and I see "humans" doing on this planet, is in my position "inhuman", that is it is "not" originating from human beingnesses but from the "mind programming" that they have got fallen prey. All of this scheduling can be purged from the species, and not with technology, simply with a desire for personal honestness about what is happening here.”

Yes indeed that is a good argument, that world are good, but along the manner have got been manipulated and taught to fear and hate. That today modern mass mass media craze and putative education, political relation and society of our civilisations is causing world to move out. That in portion our ain engineering is also partially to blame. But world is able to chose is he not? Rich Person they chosen to accept this. Isn't faith indoctrination the same? What about patriotism too? Family award or even the “Your squad volts mine,” them and us scenarios, all right so they, we, us are acting out and sure, well we can name that inhuman? But who is to state that is not the norm of world and that world are innately evil, bad or “inhuman” for that matter?

Is adult male inherently good or is he innately evil? That is the age old inquiry and to overcast that inquiry with alibis for why helium is acting out like an animate being is besides the point, as if adult male is so good, why can’t he over come up such as cruel and violent behavior? Sociable scheduling aside, what is incorrect with this picture. I go forth the last word up to you. Think on it.

Speaker's Bureau Holographic Rental Syndication

Those who are on the Speaker’s Agency Circuit cannot acquire to all those who want to have got them talk to their groups. It is unfortunate these great people in demand cannot acquire to all these locations fast enough, as it intends that their cognition is not passed onto others. But what if there were a manner to do certain that their best presentations and addresses were preserved and could be shown to others. That would be great you say, but don’t we already make this now with videotaping? Yes, surely we do, but what if we could take this to a whole new level? How so you ask?

Well, what if we used the up-to-the-minute HDHI Technologies to do it even more than life like. What is HDHI? Well it stand ups for High-Definition Holographic Imaging, which integrates the up-to-the-minute holographic 3D and 4D engineerings along with synthesized visible light and atom use to render the physical object opaque rather than translucent. In other words you are looking a colored visible light in the word form of an object, which looks to be solid.

As these Holographic Technologies and specifically HDHI goes more than readily available to commercial industry thru transportation engineering programmes from the United States Military, the applications for civilian usage will be endless. I believe that perhaps there could be no better usage of this engineering than to supplement the supply and demand issue of those on the Speaker Agency List. Additionally thru careful usage and proper rights of first publication HDHI syndicated speaking battles will be a slayer application indeed. Think on this.

The Basics of Surround Sound

Whether you are an audio novitiate or an experienced technophile, this article is for you. Let’s take a few proceedings to review the rudiments of environ sound, and the rules behind it. If you are new to environ sound, this volition aid you to understand the concept. It will also refresh the memory of those already in the know. These are the rudiments of sound.

Monophonic sound is single transmission channel and unidirectional. Basically, this agency that your audio is all filtered down into a level single channel. All elements of the recording are mixed down into one source, thereby apparent to arise from the same beginning no substance where you are standing in the room. This is old school, kids.

Stereophonic sound is reproduced through two channels and is considered superior to single-channel sound. You can state stereophonic sound, because different sounds arise from either speaker. This type of sound gives one the sense of being there during the recording. The best illustration of this is listening to a recording of the symphony, where different set members are located in different parts of the room. The twines are over here, and the horns are over there.

Surround sound was first pioneered by Ray M. Dolby in the early 1970’s, and first used in movies such as as "Tommy" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". The Ray M. Dolby procedure encapsulates four channels of audio; left, right, rear, and phantom center. The ground it is called phantom centre is because it is essentially a premix of the left and right presence channels. This gives the hearer the feeling of being surrounded by sound, hence the name environ sound.

Dolby environ sound have evolved considerably in recent years. Ray M. Dolby 5.1 is barroom far the most common. Ray M. Dolby 5.1 is similar to traditional environ sound, but it is additional broken down and processed into more than distinct channels. Ray M. Dolby 5.1 additions the scope of sound by adding stereo system rear sound as well as a dedicated subwoofer channel. This results in a far superior environ sound experience. You not only hear environ sound, but you experience it, too!

Technology is ever changing, and the marketplace offerings many environ sound options. This article is not complete by any means, and only functions as a primer on the basics. Check out your local electronics superstore for the up-to-the-minute technology.

proven time after time, that those who have got a program to reach
their goals, in business, at play, or in any country of life,
carry through more than than those without a plan. Think of
learning the basic Texas Hold’em strategy as your program of
action to beat the other players at the table.

After you acquire a spot of experience playing the game, and you
are solid on the basic rules, it’s time to get to develop
your Texas Hold’em strategy. Most players just learning
the game online start out playing the low bounds Texas
Hold’em. This is probably the most hard type to
set up a consistent winning pattern.

You’ll demand to believe of playing the low bounds as a word form of
preparation or a place to improve your Texas Hold’em strategy. As you play online, retrieve that most of the other players
in the low bounds game are beginning, just like you. That’s
not to state they aren’t More complete players offline
who are online or on a peculiar site for the first time. Either way, you simply necessitate to concentrate on developing
your Texas Hold’em strategy.

The rating of your starting manus and your place or
where you are in the command line-up is a good place to get
to measure Texas Hold’em strategy. Obviously, a part
of the strategy is to seek to find how your manus with
the floating-point operation stand ups up against those betting against you. If
you’re the last individual to bet, you can possibly have got got got a
loose wager depending on how those before you have placed
their bets.

Babel vs. the PC

Imagine a time when mankind was young. Migration led many to the land of Shinar. It was during that time, that man came together and decided to build not only a city but a tower that would reach the heavens. Seeing the structure, the Lord was not very pleased. In fact, He knew what trouble this could lead to, so He confused mankind with different languages and scattered them across the face of the earth. Thus, is the story of Babel. (Babylon, the remains of an ancient city, is now located in Iraq.)

Eerily, times of a rich, historical past parallel today's society. The familiarity to modern civilization is uncanny. In the biblical tale of the tower of Babel, men came together with one language and one common goal: the desire to control the land and all that lay beneath the tower. Making the impossible - possible to Human nature.

The construction of the tower of Babel tells a story of man and its amorous lust for greed and power. To build such a massive structure that led directly to the heavens, what a marvel it must have been. Though the tale is simple, its meaning is vast. Herein lies the virtue of society itself. With the industrialized world at its peak and infinite computerized technological advances, we have reached the brink of Babel. In this day and age, mankind has the means to communicate to the far outreaches of all the earth. With mere strokes upon a keyboard, we can speak with persons of different languages, cultures, race, religion and region. There are no boundaries to the human initiative.

What began as an oversized "brain" made of wires, metal and countless conductor boards, has evolved into the modern PC. We have at last designed the perfect mechanism to do our bidding. It thinks for us, supplies and stores information, and now with more and more technology, we can even speak to other peoples by means of a computer translator. The small screen that sits atop our office counters, our workbenches and our personal desks at home has become the brainchild of society's modernization, and has revolutionized the way we do and encounter most things.

Although it is just a machine, it has served a wonderful purpose. Through the use of computer equipment, time is no longer a challenge. Messages, tests and reports can come back to us in a matter of seconds. Physicians, technologists, mechanics, archeologists, biologists, and so many other career paths have endless uses for this manmade tool. It has rewarded us richly with its knowledge, as we have enriched it with ours.

But, the question still remains: At what point does the tower of Babel (figuratively speaking) collapse? When has humankind reached its boundaries and at what interval will all be lost because of modern technology? The world is our oyster - but what we must never forget is that the pearl of an oyster is created by disease. Just a thought to ponder.

2006 Holographic Technology Trends

Major advances and paces were made in Holographic Projection research and development of information visualization. Many new techniques of ranking visible light to project information and digital imagination into holographic projection have been done recently as men of science and applied scientists film over the lines between existent life, entertainment, video games, movies, augmented world and the practical world realms. Systems have got been simplified and they really work and the first time position is generally astonied at the mental images and stunned. Some are so taken aback that they run out and state all their friends and talking about it for hebdomads on end. 2005 was the twelvemonth that men of science figured it all out, now in 2006 we will see many applications come in the marketplace place for the consumer;

http://www.physorg.com/news2516.html

We will also see in 2006 many applications being used by the military and in space as well. The possibilities are eternal and the Xbox 360 Virtual World Living Room is near the point of blowing your socks off with new and improved action that expressions so existent that you will be blown away. We will also see film theaters improving ticket gross sales by sectioning off one or more than of their suite for the ultimate 3D experience in a similar locale to IMAX only with environ a sound and Holographic images, putting the film departer in the center of the action. Think on this in 2006.

Digital Camera Memory Cards

A digital photographic camera adjunct you should buy is a trim memory card. Most photographic cameras are sold with a 'starter' memory card that is usually a low capacity card that's sufficiency to take a few sample photographs on, but not adequate for day-to-day use.

What is a memory card?

A memory card is the small removable piece of plastic that your photographic camera utilizes to hive away your photos. Memory cards come up in different sizes and name calling such as as Compact Flash (CF), Secure Digital (SD), Memory Stick (MS), Smart Media (SM) and xD.

Running out of memory on your card is a small like running out of movie in a traditional camera. Rather than buying a new movie to take more than shots though, you travel your mental images to your computing machine or a cadmium and re-use the same memory card.

Purchasing other memory cards is a good thought is you're on a holiday and desire to guarantee you can hive away all your photos. Fortunately, terms of memory cards have got come up down dramatically in recent times.

Purchasing - what make I necessitate to know?

There are two pieces of information you necessitate to cognize when buying a new memory card. What type of card your photographic photographic photographic photographic camera takes, and how big a memory card you wish to buy.

What memory card type makes my camera use?

The simplest manner to happen out the type of memory card your camera uses, is to take your existent card out of the camera and expression on it for one of the types listed above. If you're calm not sure, take your existent card into the photographic camera shop and inquire the staff for a new card with the same type as what you have.

The size of memory card you buy volition depend on your picture taking necessitates as well as your budget. Memory cards come up in sizes between 16 Megabytes (and will suit between 4 and 32 mental mental images depending on your photographic camera capablenesses and mental image quality) and 4 Gigabytes (4,000 MBS - shop thousands of images on one of these cards).

My advice is to buy the biggest sized card you can afford. This volition let you to take as many images as possible before needing to shift to a computing machine or CD. On my last holiday, I took along 1 Gigabyte of memory card storage allowing me to take about 500 mental mental images without needing to take my computing machine along with me to download the images to.

Memory Card Speed

Another characteristic to maintain in the dorsum of your head when buying a new memory card is the card's speed. The faster your memory card speed, the faster your photographic camera can compose it's visualize to the card, and the quicker you can take another photo. The existent velocity will be the LOWEST of either your camera's fastest transportation velocity (see your camera's manual) and the memory card's speed. If your photographic camera can shift at 40X speed, but your memory card can only manage 12X, 12X will be the existent transportation speed. Note that some photographic cameras disregard the card's velocity and compose as fast as possible all the time.

How many memory cards make I need?

I urge you have got at least two memory cards for your camera. The people usually transport 4-6 memory cards and when they run out of memory on one they trade to the next, but unless you're taking tons of photos, that's overkill. With two cards, you can normally work with one but you have got a trim just in lawsuit you run out of the first, or you travel on a long holiday and demand to hive away more than mental images than you normally would.

Microdrives

A recent innovation that's gaining a batch of popularity is the Microdrive. These are for the Type two Compact Flash cards, and instead of memory inside the card, there's a bantam difficult drive. Their advantage is they can hive away an tremendous amount of information (over 6 Gigabytes), but the job is they are a small more than expensive than a traditional memory card, and can take longer to salvage your image. They also aren't as daze resistant as standard cards.

Care of cards

Memory cards, although they look to be little and flimsy, can be quite robust. I've dropped one of my cards in a glass of coke and it have survived - although I don't urge you make this! It will also depend on the trade name of card you purchase. More expensive cards be given to defy more than pounding. Most memory cards will defy a little amount of misuse, but like any electronic components, take good attention of them and they will function you well.

Other Memory Card Tips

- If you shift tons of mental images to your computer, purchase a card reader. These volition let you to shift the mental images to your computing machine at a much faster charge per unit than using your camera's connection.

- Contrary to popular opinion, airdrome x-ray machines will not harm your camera's memory cards. If you're really worried, take them from your bag and inquire the screeners to inspect manually.

- Bend off your photographic camera when inserting or removing memory cards. Taking the memory card out while the photographic photographic camera is writing to the card could bust up both your card and camera.

Land-Use and Alternative Energies Go Together

So often the word “environmentalism” work stoppages a negative short letter with farms and industries that run on bigger organic structures of land. It have been equated with “tree-hugger” types who desire nil more than to close down the industrial trading operations of the United States, bringing production to a full arrest and causing the life style we are used to having to come up to an disconnected halt. On the impudent side, “industrialism” have been viewed by its oppositions as rampant, unbridled capitalism, that pollutes the air, the water, takes what it necessitates to function, and go forths a detrimental mark. All of this for the intent of turning monolithic net income that fill the pockets of corporate United States and go forth behind it a dying earth. Perhaps both positions are extremist, and we are not as far apart as some may think.

The industrial anchor of all states in the last 100 old age have been built firmly on the combustion of crude oil products. The find of crude oil at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as the find of its many by-products allowed for the development of machinery never before imagined. Mass production of all types of commodity and services allowed for a figure of things to occur. Each of us will have got to justice whether or not these were good outcomes, but none-the-less, short of a holocost we can never travel back.

Mass production and large-scale industry caused:
The specialisation of the work force. Most people involved in industries began to specialise in their preparation and thinking, causing them to go very adept at their trade…..and very mediocre at others. This caused an inter-reliance of industries. Each grouping of people specializing in one country had a demand for commodity or services provided by another.

The migration of farm workers to the cities, and the growing of big cities. Mechanization of farm labour required less demand for farm workers to bring forth the food. In turn, the same mechanisation of industrial concerns gave rise to their demand for more than workers. Farm work force and women left the rural countries and moved to the city, which promised a better life in fiscal and recreational needs. Cities grew to unbelievable sizes, accommodating the lodging and concern demands for the city. Export metropolises became common, as the productiveness of United States went beyond its ain needs. Businesses saw the chance to sell merchandises to other countries, and production continued to grow.

Production of non-necessities: Many concerns looking to carve their ain niche invented and/or mass-produced new and exciting points for sale to the public. Basic necessitates were being met, but both manufacturers and consumers continued to desire more than comforts (will that ever change?) and so a host of new comforts in communications, toys, trinkets, sporting goods, and more than things than we could ever listing came into production.

These are just a few of the things created because of industrialism. As a result, a state of people now believes that a cell phone, 5 braces of shoes, a microwave, and a telecasting are just some of the basic necessities of life. The authorities agrees, and will supply social welfare aid to people who cannot afford such as “basics”.

The United States now consumes 20 million barrels of petroleum oil each and every day, and that figure is expected to travel up. In addition, the state consumes over 1 billion dozens of coal and 22,375 billion three-dimensional feet of natural gas every year. Other industrialised states such as as the European Union, Russia, and People'S Republic Of China are immense energy consumers as well.

Which conveys us to our present problem: men of science go on to prophesy that there isn’t adequate petroleum oil to last indefinitely. Predictions are all over the board, from as low as 40 old age to as high as 150 old age of remaining petroleum reserves. One can reason that new militia will be found, or that the authorities is lying. We believe both of those are likely. But nonetheless, everyone pretty much holds that crude oil energies are being consumed and not set back. With this in mind, it goes of import to venture into the development of non-petroleum combustibles (or option fuels) well ahead of schedule, in order to develop engineerings that tin replace crude oil use.

As we can see in recent pricing trends, crude oil terms will go on to climb up until other combustibles bash go affordable. It merely goes a substance of plotting your ain graphical record on the pricing. Maybe solar powerfulness is not practicable with $2.00/gallon gasoline, but what if gasolene were $5.00? How about if it were $10.00? Running out of crude oil is not what is going to drive the terms up…..it haps long before that. The public perceptual experience of running out of crude oil is what drives future pricing. Anyone who detects the stock marketplaces cognizes that when bad intelligence come ups out about a corporation, stock instantly takes a dive. Why? Net Income are rolling in just the same. It is because of the public perceptual experience that net income will drop for the company, and cipher desires to be holding the stock. A mass sell-off by the public and a decreased desire to have the same results in a driblet in price. In contrast, an increased desire and a perceived deficit will drive terms ever higher.

Whether you are a little farmette or an industry with 6 fume stacks, we believe that rising energy costs will go on to be one of the most ambitious obstructions of the 21st century. New innovations and thoughts are needed that tin advance and bring forth big scale of measurement energy merchandises for usage in the industries of our nation. Perhaps you will never ain a backyard alcoholic beverage still, but maybe you will be raising barleycorn for an ethyl alcohol works 20 statute miles away that bring forths a million gals a day. Perhaps you are a steel worker who is turning out windmill frameworks that support immense windmills across the mid-west. Or maybe you are a niche industry that bring forths car electrical circuit boards that unify the powerfulness of the gasolene engine and electrical motor (hybrid cars) under the hoodlum of American automobiles. Each industry contributing to the energy job we face can do a little but growing difference between keeping our metropolises running, or having mass starvation and blackouts that leave of absence our metropolises as incapacitated as sitting ducks.

If you have got got viewed our web pages, you cognize that we have devoted a subdivision to option energy. We believe there could be contiguous benefits to little business, and since we are a “grass roots” paper, we are looking at the energy job the same way. We can’t effectively make much for the world’s energy crisis, but we can acquire local discoverers to start thinking about the problem. Small concerns and farms around dad can perhaps salvage themselves $100 a calendar month by developing something that either bring forths energy for them, or cut downs their need. United States Congress is giving a difficult expression at the same thing, and in April they passed an energy measure that was advantageous to option developments. It also prefers the resale of electricity back into the grid. You’re not likely to see cash, but many of the contracts let you an electricity credit. If you pump 1,000 kWs into the grid, you can acquire 1,000 free kilowatt back to you at a future date. More rises in the cost of crude oil will reject United States Congress to make more than inducements for applied scientists and discoverers to assist convert America.

We believe that land industries can be the entrepreneurial alkali for energy designs. They’ve got the land, and often they have got the equipment and technical resources. Small concerns often have got people with the thrust and inventiveness to reinvent the wheel----and are able to “come inch under the wire” politically, thus avoiding the pressures of high-power lobbyists, funded by crude oil combustible companies to convert the public that everything is OK.

Where make conservationists suit it? Many of them have got urged option energy development for decades, and will be at the head of the imaginative engineerings that United States is likely to produce. Others will see the benefits of slowly moving the world away from crude oil usage, with respect to earthly contaminations and political agitation among nations. They will also go on to be “pollution watchdogs”, making certain that new engineerings make not harm our world even worse than what we have got now.

It is of import to retrieve that most energy production (i.e. energy use) pollutes the environment. Decrease of pollutants is a more than realistic end than elimination. For instance, ethyl alcohol engineering may plan a works that bring forths ethyl alcohol by combustion coal for its energy and have got a positive energy addition with decreased emanations per btu. Maybe leveling 1,000 estate of federal wood land for solar aggregators sets enough electrical in the power system to countervail the loss of the trees. What energy industries will concentrate on is creating a nett addition in energy production; environmentally, people should accept new engineerings that green goods less negative impacts than what the old system did. New systems make not have got to be “ideal” when starting out….they only necessitate to be an environmental improvement over aged systems. There are many factors that weigh in, including political ones. For example, it may be a certain amount of money to polish a million barrels of crude, but then it might also be $100 billion every 10 old age for a warfare to maintain the petroleum supply secure. (Ya believe our warfare machine pollutes a little?) Many, many factors must weigh in to concluding determinations in embracing new technology, and we are confident that environmental leadership in this state have got the capacity to believe beyond their bare feet in the tulips.

If one expressions difficult enough, nearly every human action causes pollution. When a shaft spins around in a bearing, it do heat, and a purist could claim that this causes planetary warming. For all of our sakes, delight acquire a grip. Cooperation between environmentalism and energy technical schools will be imperative in order to convey better engineerings on-line. As we’ve stated before, the human footmark is huge, and it cannot be undone. As stewards of the land, we must pro-actively seek better ways to make the powerfulness we necessitate to execute work. Rising terms will be a changeless reminder of this. American inventiveness have always faced its undertaking and succeeded. We believe that the top state in the world can ran into this challenge as well.

Is your Digital Camera Compatible With Your Computer?

So you recently bought a digital photographic camera or perhaps your thinking about it. And perhaps you may be wondering how many images will your computing machine hold? First you necessitate to reply a few inquiries to come up to an accurate conclusion. First, how large is your difficult thrust and how much free space makes it currently have? You can happen the reply to that inquiry by first left-clicking on "My Computer:" Right-click on "C drive." A bill of fare should appear. Left-click on "Properties." A pie chart should be displayed that volition show you the size of the difficult thrust and how much of the disc thrust is free. Your adjacent measure is too cognize how many mega pels makes your photographic camera have? A pel is a visible light sensing cell on the mental image pickup truck device.

The higher figure of pixels, the higher the declaration or image quality of the camera. A higher pel figure will also necessitate more than storage space in your photographic camera and computing machine for a picture. How much storage makes each image need? If you have got a 2M pel camera, a high declaration image will necessitate storage in the scope of 500kb. Two 500 kilobyte images would inhabit 1 MB. If that 1 image necessitates 500kB of storage, you should be able to hive away 2000 images of that size in 1 GB of disc space. I usually hive away my images in one booklet in my computing machine called “Camera Pics” and then make sub-folders within that booklet with different name calling depending on the juncture the images were taken at for easy mention later on.

Most photographic photographic camera makers will supply software system to let you to shift and redact images from your camera. But some of that software system is not the easiest to put in and operate. There are a few ways to make the transportation without the photographic camera software. If your photographic photographic camera have a memory card, you can purchase a memory card reader and usage it to read the images from your camera. The memory card reader stoppers into a free USB connection on your computer. When you stop up a memory card into the memory reader, you should detect a new difficult thrust on "My Computer."

Your computing machine will see the memory device to be a difficult thrust and will let you to pull off images as if they were data files on a difficult drive. Many new photographic cameras are directly supported by Microsoft XP If you stop up a USB cablegram into the photographic photographic camera and a USB slot on the computer, you might detect that your computing machine cognizes how to read the images off the camera. Digital photographic cameras offering an economical manner to acquire into photography. After you pay for the camera, it doesn't be anything to take pictures. You just necessitate a computing machine to let you to see and salvage your pictures. After you have got saved a clump of images in your computer, I propose you to shift them to a cadmium or DVD. If you make not, someday you may lose all your images if your computing machine ever crashes.

One other thing you necessitate to be aware of is that aged computing machines will have got a difficult time working the big megapixel photographic cameras that are being produced today. If you have got got got an aged computing machine and travel out and purchase yourself a 8 or 10 megapixel camera, you may suddenly happen you that you may have to purchase a new computing machine too, or at least ascent the 1 you have. The brawny image data files that are created by these big megapixel photographic cameras utilize a enormous amount of computing machine memory and can make an incompatible computing machine a batch of problems.

The norm necessitates of most people really do not necessitate a big megapixel digital photographic camera unless you be after on printing big photos. So it is best to maintain this general rule in head when considering a digital camera. A typical 2-megapixel photographic camera will bring forth a very good 4 x 6 inch mental image using a typical desktop colour inkjet printer. With a 4 -megapixel camera, you can turn out a very good 8 x 10 print, which is the biggest black and white anyone who is not a professional is likely to need.

Family, Incest, and Law

Family Values in Ancient Times:

Many people of the present brand some very grave and distressing premises about anterior unethical behavior by humans. My theories may be biased and overly appreciative of a time before Empire and there is less information owed to the destructive powerfulness of Empire and the hegemony to travel on. However, that information is more than pure and less likely to have got been promoted or propagandized for the involvements of power-mongers. Top people and those who are regarded as great academicians still argument whether women ever had equal rights and some state there never were matriarchal societies of great note. It would be a surprise for me if there were not many different attacks used in assorted civilizations and millennia before the Ice Age we just experienced and thereafter, leading up to what we name history. Much of history today have all the markings of hegemony kindred to the Center Ages according to Toilet Ralston Saul who states it “has come up to resemble the indeterminate and controlling scholasticism of the Center Ages.” (1)

Could it be that ethical motive and moral behavior had higher importance in the group houses of the Kelts and North American Indians, as well as other societies throughout this amazing world? We now cognize it have got been traversed by ancient world who loved and played all over the place for a far longer time period than we have been Pb to believe even though many may not be aware of these facts. Are it possible that basic rules were easily communicated and regard was the end of people long ago? Why even argument the point about powerfulness and money – they had small demand of it. Horse Opera society still have much of the deep-rooted misogynism of millennia of macho Mediterranean Sea mores and the remainder of the world is far worse. What greater issue is there than incest and household violence? It putrefactions the cloth of households and society as a whole. This quotation mark from well-thought-of anthropologist Carlton Coon about the ‘hunting societies’ of prehistory sets a phase we necessitate to appreciate and evaluate.

“While under certain circumstances, in some societies, a immature adult male may acquire married a adult female past times menopause, he may pull off to have got sexual dealings with other women, and may eventually get a nubile 2nd wife.” (2)

This looks a feasible agreement that includes instruction and the planning of households to avoid unneeded abortion or oral cavities who aren’t truly cared for, doesn’t it? The aged adult female presumably would be able to fulfill the early sexual energy of the immature man, without leading their societal or tribal civilization into all the jobs associated with children having children such as as often haps today. The immature adult male might even develop some sexual techniques and understand his urges on better than pure lustful infatuation or the demand to run off to struggle in order to acquire colza and loot payment for some Godhead or Caesar. Then when financially and emotionally prepared for parenting he might actually make a nice job. Coon was able to detect this still bes in some Neolithic societies of the present day. When the 2nd married woman arrived it might show some jobs but in most lawsuits the first married woman would probably bask helping the new married woman to understand her chances better. Yes, I make exaggerate the case, I suppose, but in the Keltic clandoms it was even better than I am suggesting.

Kids were a resource and beginning of pridefulness for the whole clan. In the dynamical of raising a kid this allowed for many things to happen in a more than mature environment with less emotional blackmail. That do not decrease the aspirations parents have got got got for their children but it makes for a batch less vicarious pressure, as parents have to pass all their waking hours attending to the demands of kids; who see a manner to acquire what they desire by playing to the unrealistic parents who have yet to larn what they necessitate to know. There are facets of North American Indians folks that show a similar attack to child-raising. The Stadacona Indians sent some of their children with Cartier, much as the Kelts shared educational chances with trading partners. Aunts and uncles make the disciplining of children among the Cree. The drawn-out household and group life is very clannish and even Edward Gibbon noted there were heraldic Indian regalia that mirrored those of British People heraldry.

The Hurons and Iroquois are most like the Irish or Scandinavian Kelts in their societal structure. Crimes committed by a member of a household or kin (tribe) are paid for by the whole family. With this sort of policing or ethical motive bureaucratism would starve for privation of something to do. The compassionateness and behavior alteration of a household is better than that of the police force or prisons, I think. The women of the Iroquois were the determination shapers in most lawsuits except the day-to-day running of a warfare once it was approved. These women owned the assets or leaseholds. No 1 owned land just as was true in the land usage Pentateuch of the Kelts which the English had to strike along with all other just and just civilization when they finally forced Eire under their rule. The Indians still pattern Potlatch or the giving of regard and assets despite the 1920s law against it in Canada. We can all conceive of the Tax aggregators don’t like this sort of custom. It was much more than than mere taxes the authorities sought and the Supreme Court have ruled the authorities and Catholic Church were purpose on the sum devastation of North American Indian beliefs, in recent rulings.

“In any event, the incest tabus recognized in any given hunting society bear some human relationship to his pick (or to his and/or her parents’ choice) of a matrimonial partner. Of these prohibitions there are three basic and quite different incest tabus, prohibiting intercourse between male parent and daughter, female parent and son, and blood brother and sister. These prohibitions are not based on inherent aptitude or the inductive experience of the familial effects that sometimes result {Like the imbeciles and hemophiliacs or sexual perverts who take us as a result of ‘noble’ heritage – to warfare and other great epic endeavours.}. Some people go against them, but if so the misdemeanors make not result in marriage.

To a considerable extent these primary incest tabus are based on two sorts of antisocial results. Parent-child intercourse would interrupt the lines of authorization between generations, lines that hold the household together. Brother-sister intercourse during adolescence would suppress exogamy between families, reducing their interdependence. Were a married adult female to have got intercourse with her brother, it would make a state of serious struggle between her hubby and his brother-in-law, 2 kinsmen by matrimony who, in certain cultures, might necessitate each other’s assurance and help.” (3)

The ‘controlling scholasticism of the Center Ages’ referred to by Ralston Saul was portion of the continuing attempt to destruct these existent household values. The matrimony Pentateuch of the Kelts had to be eliminated because these Pentateuch were equitable and just to women and children. Bastards were not ever possible in Keltic society and the thought of a single female parent was totally different than it is today. Of course, the payment of soldiers of fortune including the colza and loot which enabled work force to gradually lose all nice tabus or concepts based on the ancient agency of attention for each other that were portion of all the systems Brotherhood developed, through common sense. The lift of Gods from the state of hero (mere human) to Godhead Rights and separate from Nature, is at the root of a batch of it. Thor Hyerdahl believes Odin was a Keltic king in southern Soviet Union around the time of Jesus and I happen that entirely likely. When adult male began to state other work force were not able to comprehend nature and needed an translator for the corporate psyche of world and all life, things began the downward impetus to the hegemony that often even denies adult male have a soul.

The extent of fictional character character assassination by academicians that make not delve into the grounds for Caesar’s propaganda or quotation mark others who did not use owed diligence is as apparent today as it ever was. The people who concentrate on Keltic gives and trophy caput customs duty are telling a fact but not the whole truth. What is abortion and working capital penalty if not sacrificing the life of people, perhaps for a common good? Victorian primness developed the ‘sins and demons’ fear-mongering of Jehovian greed even further. In fact the Western Tradition have succeeded in the devastation of all Ancient Cognition if you were to believe what is allowed to be disseminated through ‘official’ Oregon educational channels. The Temples of Saphos and Mesopotamia joined all Mediterranean Sea civilizations in some word form of forced harlotry for women, while the Biblical ‘Devoted Ones’ were sacrificed when the priest or his buddies were through with other obvious and disgustful usages of them. Often the orphans and waifs caused by the changing Pentateuch and racial agitation and bias fomented in these times, led psyches to a place worse than the Perdition ruled by the Catholic created Satan. The first-class book called The Golden Bough by Sir Jesse James James George Frazer gives ample grounds from believable beginnings about combustion Red Heads and women of all classes being forced to sell their organic structures and give the money to the Temple. It may have got started with Abraham (and other Ur-Story advocates with their harems) and his baby-factories but it was certainly not the manner of ancient Kelts even after his time. The Indians of North United States and the indigens of Aloha State are ample testimony of the diverseness of Keltic equalitarian approaches.

Information Stupor Highway

When my friend Kate, who, allow the record show, is lovely and more than than I deserve, signed me up for this site, I was genuinely pleased with myself. I felt large and adroit 'cause I had a small corner of the web to name my own, however tenuously. Still, as so often happens, a idea have come up along and coddled my small idyll.

I bought some bluish hair dye, the other day, to travel clandestine with a grouping of fascistic old ladies set on world domination.

Well, that's not true. To be honest, I saw a cricketer with bright bluish hair, once, and much as I detest cricket I thought it looked good.

So I finally got around to going through with it, and I noticed something. This hair-dye company have got a website.

If you're anything like me, you have to inquire yourself why. To salvage you the trouble, I took a look.

Well, allow me state right off, seeing the site didn't reply the question. I'll give you a little run-down of what's on this site: A listing of the assorted colors available. Some white, person-shaped silhouettes with hair in said colours. Nothing else.

And, in this way, I've come up to a conclusion. There are too many websites.

I have got no expostulation to there being a diverse scope of information beginnings available, but I experience I must pull the line at things such as as the hairdye debacle. In fact, I'm going to travel one additional and propose something radical:

There is too much pornography on the internet.

I know, I know, this may sound harsh, but hear me out. The other day, I was looking around on a data file sharing programme to see if I could happen any interesting unrecorded music videos. I typed in "Clapton" and I curse to God 1 of the results came back "Horny Teenage Lesbians Part 2."

Now let's be frank. If you've read this column before and are not my editor/therapist/other personality, you've clearly got too much time on your hands. Don't experience bad, I empathise, I'm the 1 authorship this drivel. Nonetheless, take a minute of your ample time, and seek to happen any nexus - any nexus at all - between a 60 twelvemonth old English guitar player and horny adolescent lesbians. Answers, if you'd be so kind, to the usual address.

Also, while we're on this subject, let's halt kidding eachother and acquire right to the point: No substance how many times pornography sites have the word "free", it really isn't, and I, for one, am ill of this.

Sure, sure, there are cats out there who ran into existent women. Guys who have got interesting lives, and who aren't shockingly pale and bluish haired. Guys who, if asked to take part in a turn of energetic sleeping room gymnastics, would not be appalled to happen themselves sterilised by 18 hours a day's worth of computing machine radiation. (Sorry guys, but we are. Go on, check, I'll wait.)

For the remainder of us, a grouping in which I must sadly include myself, there is often small recourse but to undertake the job alone. Are it too much to inquire that some kindly, lecherous old helper out there might take commiseration and administer free, high quality pornography to us all?! Perhaps he does. Perhaps there is antic pornography just waiting to be discovered, and it never will, because there are so many lesser, expensive sites clogging the nett like so much shaven pubic hair in a drain.

Alright, the analogy was a small much, but you acquire my point.

I'm not saying I have got the answers. I don't cognize how we would implement a purge of the full cyberspace that leaves of absence only the arousing and the useful, but I still state I've had worse ideas.

Incidentally, "Horny Teenage Lesbians Part 2" isn't up to much. But there's a nice video of "Wonderful Tonight" going around...
