The mic in question is of course not new so who cares that they no
longer manufacture it. I'm not a store. I'm a studio owner with some
gear to sell off I rarely use.

Hello,

A friend has made it possible for me to obtain all the videos on this
website http://www.qyf.com.cn/soft/ that is a business that teaches
flower making. In China it is an A-R-T! I have been able to make
flowers that are just awesome. We cannot post these to the web. They
can only be downloaded and shared with friends. If there are many of
you who would want to have a small paper arts group that enjoyed
sharing the results of this paper craft, email me about that, and if
we have enough people, let's start one.

Also, check out this website, if you are not aware of it already.

I love making my flowers out of the paper
that she uses.

Hello!
Why does a panoramic video (in an evening or inside a building, shot
by Sony HC5E camcorder) look like the frame rate is about 10 fps? My
11-year old JVC VHS-C camcorder never had this problem, the video was
always fluid.
Best regards,
Dima

Im sure the manual will tell you if you read it, but I guess its a low
light mode and it probably is indicated on the screen

Thanks for replying!
No, it's not the low light mode. I do not enable it and it is not
indicated on the screen.

You said panoramic is that a special wide mode, if its new take it
back, sony manuals are junk, and I found options even Sony support did
not even know that are not in my manual, that I could shoot stills
while taking video on an old unit. They have so much new stuff out its
hard to know all the operating parameters on every model. Keep looking
you will figure it out, but color slow shutter may be automatic and
its on with Night Shot on mine

I wonder if the banks that issue cards are also in on this? They really
want to insert themselves into every transaction so they can collect
their tribute. So they are running these massive ad campaigns showing
how nice it is to buy your coffee, donut or whatever using their payment
system and offering all of these "reward" programs giving you a little
cut of the fee and percentage that is added to all transactions in order
to make you forget about cash.

I can just imagine them stepping forward to proclaim that if everyone
used their cards and cash was eliminated it would "protect" those who
couldn't manage cash.

Or it could be greedy lawyers moving wealth to themselves.

the head of visa said that we'd be cashless by either 2010 or 2012.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/cashless-society-by-2012-says-visa-chief-439676.html

at that point cc companies will collect a percentage from both the buyer and
the seller.

The head of Visa is an opportunistic twit, and besides that, the
article refers to europe, not the U.S.

The mint has been behind the curve for years. The issue of lack of
kinesthetically identifying marks is not limited to blind people and
has been the bane of people handling cash for decades. When rushed,
and putting together straps of money, it isn't unusual for a bill or
two to get mixed into the wrong strap - a fiver in a 50 wrap of ones,
etc.

Just how hard is it to put an identifying dog ear on two opposing
corners of each bill? That way, a strap of singles would all have a
notch at one point, a fiver might have a two notches, or a squarish
shape instead of a triangle, or a curved cut off end instead of an
angular one, etc.. This isn't rocket science. As long as the cutouts
affected the ends of the notes instead of the long sides, most
existing equipment would handle the change without modification.
