Hooking up an HDMI output from your DSLR Camera to a full size monitor will let you see with better clarity what your camera is viewing. It's a great way to view playback of the scene you just shot. It's also great for shooting a blog. The camera is pointed at you, you can have the monitor facing you so you can see how the take is going. Monitor Stands are expensive because they have the word 'Monitor' in front of them. A DJ speaker stand on the other hand is much sturdier and cheaper. I've modified my stand to make a Monitor Stand. Parts needed: 1 - DJ Speaker Stand from Amazon (PSTND2) 1 - Flat Panel Swing Arm Mount (use only half) (ML10B from Amazon) .99 Misc hardware: 2 - 4" x 5/16" Eye Bolt w/nut 1 - 1/4" Threaded Rod (about 1' piece) .98 cents 2 - 5/16" Nuts 2 - 5/16" Cut Washers 2 - 5/16" Lock washers 4 - 1/4" Fender Washers 4 - 1/4" Cut washers 5 - 1/4" nuts 5 - 1/4" Starred Lock washers (one bag is .98) Hardware Subtotal Total cost with free shipping on stand and mount

The Biggest Oversight When Hanging Your Flat Screen TV On The Wall
So you've saved up your money and now going to buy a flat screen TV. Perhaps you have settled on a LCD or Plasma.
I hope you didn't spend all of your money on the TV because there a few things you may want to budget for if you are not particularly handy around the house.
Where are you going to install your Flat Screen?
If you are going to mount your TV on the wall there is something very important for you to consider
Do you have a TV outlet installed at the height you want your TV? Even if you said yes...I am sorry it will not be enough. Allow me to explain.
Can you picture where your existing TV is set up? Maybe it's in an entertainment center. Now close your eyes and see all of those wires that connect between your Television & your satellite box, DVD player and receiver.
Why do I bring this up?
If you hang your TV on the wall with a standard TV jack installed there-
What about all of those wires that we just talked about? How do you plan on connecting all of those wires that are needed to work all of your electronic equipment?
I told you that no one thinks about this.
Unfortunately, with a single cable TV jack over the fireplace...your ONLY option is to stack your:
· Satellite receiver
· Cable TV box
· Surround sound receiver
· DVD player
All on top of your beautiful fireplace!
Or have a bunch of ugly wires draped all over the place serving as a serious tripping hazard
Can you imagine moving into a beautiful new home and seeing all of those pieces of equipment balancing on your mantel?
You would be surprised how many new homes are built this way. They install just a simple TV jack over the fireplace. The homebuilders are totally clueless. Unfortunately, its up to you, the homeowner to foot the bill to wire this correctly.
So what can we do about it?
If you want the best signal possible, Then HDMI cables are the way to go. One HDMI cable run thru the walls will do the work of all of those other wires we spoke of moments ago. To have this professionally done I would budget from 5- 5 for HDMI cables, depending on how long they need to be.
You can probably save two hundred dollars if you do this yourself.
Remember that buying the flat screen TV is just the beginning of your investment to have HD TV in your home.

Business and Brand Names Beginning With the Letter 'I'
The letter I is about the fourth most common letter used in English. That is because of the common suffixes -ing and -ion and because of the very common words it, is and in. When it comes to beginning company names, I is not such a popular choice. Just three of the top one hundred brands of 2009 in a list compiled by Interbrand begin with I -- IBM, Intel and Ikea.
Those three names show the reason why names beginning I are not very popular -- pronunciation. The I of IBM is said like eye, the I of Intel is pronounced like the vowel sound in the middle of the word bit and in Swedish the I of Ikea is pronounced like the ee of green, but different countries pronounce the name differently.
Most European languages pronounce I the Swedish way (as in green or eat), but that is not the typical English pronunciation. Only words in English that have come from other languages, such as clique, pizza and piano, pronounce the I the European way. This means that non-English-speakers will pronounce the first syllable of names such as InWear or Ice Cool as een and eess. Will this be a problem for you? If so, don't choose a name beginning with I.
The capital letter I is the simplest of all letters; it can be written with just one downward stroke. For that reason, it can easily be confused with the number 1 or the lower-case L. From a distance it can sometimes be difficult to see the letter at all, especially if it comes next to a wide letter, such as M or W, which the eye tends to focus on.
An I at the beginning of your name can often suggest that you deal in internet products or are an online business: iPad, iPod, iVillage. If you are a traditional store or business, think twice about using a lower-case i at the beginning of your name.
