I couldn't wait to get home today! The underwater housing for my Flip Ultra HD camcorder arrived! With luck I'll be able to try it out this weekend! :D
This is a pic I took with my camera in an Aquapac. The Aquapac was brilliant, however very fragile. A week into our holiday I had to seal up a hole with some nail varnish lol, and then about 3 days later i found another hole which i couldnt fix

New Homes Fall Down - Analyst Blog
23.12.09
In November, New Home Sales seriously disappointed by falling 11.3% from October levels to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 355,000. The rate was also 9.0% below the year-ago sales levels. The consensus expectations were for sales to be running at a 435,000 rate in November. In even worse news, October’s numbers were revised sharply lower from 430,000 to 400,000. Thus relative to where we thought we were, it is more like a 17.4% monthly drop.
The drop in New Home sales are in distinct contrast to yesterday’s report on Existing home sales, which surged 7.4% on the month and which were up 44% from a year ago. Normally, existing home sales run about 6x new home sales, but now existing homes sales are running at over 18x new home sales (see graph below from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/ ). This is not only a record, it is an off-the-charts record.
New home sales are vitally important and have historically lead the economy both into and out of recessions, as can be seen in the second graph (also from Calculated Risk). Existing home sales, even though they are far larger in total number and value, are essentially irrelevant to the economy; or to be fairer, only contribute to the economy indirectly. Existing home sales do not contribute anything new to the economy, but simply shift the ownership of the existing assets. They are important to the extent that people are able to move to find new work (and with so many people trapped underwater on their hands, decreased labor mobility is an issue). However, aside from realtor commissions, most of the activity around existing home sales is due to redecorating activity.
