At the risk of provoding a food fight...
Something that continues to puzzle me about responses to certain posts:
Someone has a question about which zoom lens they should get, or if the one they have is appropriate to a new camera, and someone responds with something like "get a 50mm prime". How is that responsive to the OP?
1. I realize that a 50mm prime is the classic "normal" lens and considered by some to be optically pure, but really, hasn't photographic technology progressed to the point that there are other good options?
2. Just because the prime lens is a f/1.4 or f/1.8 lens, and the zoom is f/3.5-5.6 doesn't mean that is what the OP wants, needs or even would know how to use.
3. Isn't suggesting a fixed length lens being totally unresponsive to the OP, and, frankly, somewhat elitist? I know some people like them because they force you to "think about your composition" or "zoom with you feet" or because "that's what <insert name of famous photographer> used". Really, isn't the suggestion the photographic equivalent of a strait-jacket?
I have a lot of lenses and use them when I think I want certain capabilities ("horses for courses"). The 50mm is one of my least used lenses. To me it is boring and not conducive to capturing interesting images. Kinda like shooting with the digital equivalent of an Instamatic.
I like to think that the answers that we give here are responsive to the OP's needs, not a chance to just reiterate our own prejudices.
Whoa, I think some leftover Thanksgiving mashed potatoes just flew by...

Lens designs and choices are all about solving a particular problem.
Covey22 takes a heaping serving spoonful of corn kernels, starts mashing it into the Cranberry Jelly
Primes solves the ability to render images beautifully at a specific focal length and/or aperture.
He then puts on a pair of disposable food service gloves, reaches into the Turkey and yanks out a brimming palm of stuffing and what amazingly looks like Chorizo sausage that had been cooked inside the bird
Zooms solves the problem of carrying multiple focal lengths but at a cost - usually image quality and aperture options - which is why fast and sharp zooms cost more.
The stuffing mixture is now formed into a semi-sphere protecing the kernel-jelly center
While the idea of a 50mm seems antiquated, it all goes back to the general principle that lenses around the 35-50mm range best reflect the average human field-of-view. Thus, if the one of the primary intents of photography is to capture what we see, this is a legitimate concept and shouldn't be discarded for the simple sake of "moving on."
What's this? He's slipped on a fresh pair of gloves and is now executing a two-handed grab - a ladle full of scratch-made mashed potatoes and gravy each!
Again - what is the problem being solved? If it's general photography, then yes, likely a two-lens kit bundle will fit the solution.
Is nothing sacred? He's taken that mash-and-gravy mixture and liberally applied dollops of it to the semi-sphere on the main dish
Use of primes is a much more effective tool to teach people about perspective; what it means and how do you manipulate it to make your photographs. It is definitely not convenient. But some of the best work in the world has been made with a 50mm, so there's really not a lot to argue about it's utility.
The last straw - he's grabbed what appears to be an armful of Pecan Pie (sacriligious!) and Pumpkin Cheesecake as a buffer to hold back the now veritable flood of the Thanksgiving mashup from spilling over the edges
The answer is to keep asking questions of the OP. When someone asks "What lens should I get?" or "I can buy X or Y. Which should I go with?" Perhaps we should ask the question "What problem are you trying to solve?"
The climatic ending - the mixture is tossed up with gusto into the ceiling fan spinning at the UL-rated 330 rpms, the dinner is equitably and efficiently distributed to all parties - as well as the dog, cat, ceilings, walls, grandma's good china closet and dozing Uncle Bob in the TV room next door

I tend to agree. While there are times that I like using a 50mm, I use one far, far less than I do other lenses. I first started with a 50mm lens as that was the way you bought cameras a long time ago. I was happy to move beyond it. I don't believe it leads to better composition. I personally believe the best compositional advice is use your eyes, move to the height and location where you see the most interesting and dynamic arrangement of things, and then pick the lens or focal length that matches your vision. Standing in one place and zooming or limiting yourself to one focal length is an interesting photographic exercise, but not how I prefer making photographs.
When do I recommend a 50mm lens? When someone asks the question "What's a good, low-cost lens for making photos in low-light conditions without flash?" Similarly, if I'm asked about an inexpensive lens for making photographs with limited depth of field I might recommend a 50mm. Other than that, I tend to recommend different things based on their budget.
BTW, the phrase "zooming with your feet" is one of my pet peeves since moving around isn't the same as changing focal lengths. That and the term "walkaround lens" drive me nuts.

>...the term "walkaround lens" drive me nuts.
Why, Rick? The term makes lots of sense to me. I want one easy-to-carry lens that is flexible enough to let me get a variety of shots as I explore on foot. The term seems so descriptive. (My "walkaround" is the 18-200.)

The reason it bugs me is that there's an implication that lenses other than wide-ranging zooms (which seems to be the usual definition) aren't suitable for using when you're walking around. What I use when I'm walking around with a single lens can be a 35mm, a 50mm, an 85mm or 105mm, a 24-70mm, a 16-35mm, ...you name it. It just depends on the mood I'm in.
It's a bit like saying "I want to buy a landscape lens".

Exactly, that's about the only allure of the 50mm for me anymore. Now that I have the 85mm f1./4, the 50mm tends to be relegated to the closet these days. Everything else in my arsenal zooms, because my 20mm f/2.8 isn't enough wider than the 24-70mm.

Not a fair piece of information to base your advice on, is it really? I have both lenses too, bought them both at about the same time for precisely the same reason: shooting moving targets in low light with no flash. That was before I knew anything. It turned out that the 85mm f/1.4 is soooo sweet that practically none of my other lenses get any playing time.
Saying that 50mm isn't a very useful focal length because you prefer the 85mm f/1.4 is like saying you think sedans aren't nearly as interesting to drive when compared to convertibles. This may or may not be so, but the person with only a VW Jetta and a Porsche convertible in their garage to base the opinion on isn't really comparing apples and oranges now, are they?

I think your observation is correct in lots of cases. For example, when the OP says "Which would be better for me, a 16-85 or 18-105," the answer that you'd be better off with a 50mm prime doesn't really address the question. But sometimes the OP will say "I want to take photos of bands in clubs with dim and erratic lighting. Which would be better, a 16-85 or an 18-105?" In which case it might be helpful to say that neither is likely to be satisfactory in that use, and you'd be better off with a 50mm prime.
It depends on the question, but I do think that lots of times people will provide responses without carefully reading the OP's question, or considering what information the OP really wants to know. So, go back to your left-over turkey; I don't think this post is as provocative as the one where you were peeved about people taking photos on railroad tracks!
#8. "RE: At the risk of provoding a food fight..." | In response to Reply # 0
I do try to keep focused on the OP's original request, especially if the OP question is bounded and is really about a zoom lens.
What really bugs me is when the OP doesn't respond. The "queue" fills up with responder's speculative (due to lack of feedback by the OP) contributions and then at some "later date" we have to unravel it all.
There's protocol on both sides, it's called a dialogue. Sometimes I think we get the 50mm response out of frustration; a kind of throwing an answer at the wall to see what sticks. A desperation response in a passive food-fight trying to stimulate a response from the OP; apparently sitting there in teflon-silence.
As Rick points out, the 50 was yesterday's kit lens. I'm personally waiting for people to rush out and create an avalanche buying new 50's in response to their frustration with the slow 18-55/24-85 generation of today's kit lenses. .... still waiting.
Too much cranberry and stuffing, still wanting a more engaged world.
Full disclosure: I recently bought a very nice 50mm f/1.2 AIS lens for my D700. It's a brilliant, capable lens. I use it once in a blue moon but I just can't leave it out of the bag - just in case. My most used lens is a 24-120mm f/4 AFS VR which I like for so many reasons, it's a different post. .... and my favorite walk-about lens is a 28mm f/2 AIS on my D700.
It's still, ISO, aperture and shutter-speed, right?

The problem for me, is that I have a hard enough time trying to figure out what's the right lens for me and fits the budget. How would I make that decision fro somebody else? I think I would tend more to validate the OP's feelings as opposed to redirecting, unless there is some obvious flaw in logic.

While suggesting a 50mm lens is not answering the question, it is a fine lens. When someones answer bothers us, maybe we should ask why? If that is their responce, so be it. That is how they chose to respond, for they are not us!

I have not responded to many, "Which of these lenses should I buy," unless I own both lenses or I am quite familiar with one of the choices and have a solid opinion. I would not hesitate to tell someone that a particular lens has shortcomings or it is limited to a particular type of photography which can be due to my own lack of creativeness. I have seen some very creative endeavors recently in the posts of our members and I would hate to discourage anyone from trying something different because it, "breaks the rules of thirds" or "leading lines are going in an unnatural direction".
As far as the 50mm prime lens goes, I own the 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor. I bought all kinds of lenses before I purchased this one and the others were because they fit my needs of flora and fauna. Why did I buy the 50mm, which I have used the least to this point? I wanted a lens that I could use in museum in low light without a flash. I could use it in a church without disrupting the wedding service. It has a purpose for me but I would not recommend it unless the OP has similar needs. Sometimes the OPs ask such general questions it is necessary to respond back to them with questions to clarify what exactly they plan to do with their photography.
The other point I would like to make is the different "pet phrases" we all like to gyrate towards or away from in our photography. We all have a favorite lens we tend to favor. If we take a hike in the woods it may be a different lens then a hike across the pasturelands or down a NYC street. I tend to call that my "walk around" lens. "Use the prime because it is a better lens then a zoom lens" and "use your feet" to compose your shot, I personally don't buy it. Why? We are not all equipped with the same abilities. I myself am an amputee and I try to minimize the amount of walking I do. Certain areas require the ability to climb and that is out. Leg protheses do not bend at the ankle and is a movement limitation. So MY compensation is a zoom lens. Oh, and one final note on "pet peeves", if the word lens is not "hip" enough, then just substitute "GLASS" in its place. I LOVE to eat!! Throw some food this way!!

I don't have a problem with someone advising to get a prime when asked which zoom to get.
I don't like it when someone says get a prime or one of the zooms without saying why.

I will shyly weigh in, as a perpetual "rank" (interpret that term any way you like) amateur who is frequently mistaken for someone who knows what I'm talking about. I have great sympathy for the confusion felt by folks just getting started.
People do ask, "What lens should I get?" I always respond with the question, "What do you think you'll be photographing? Portraits of people? Landscapes? Landscapes and insects all in one walk?" I assume that these are folks who, like me, who can really only afford one or two lenses in the foreseeable future. I started with a zoom because it gave me the most flexibility to learn what I was passionate about photographing. I've since sprung for one prime lens--a 60mm macro--and can only dream about a prime telephoto lens (stolen from someone's garden?).
I do think that for someone who is just beginning to feel his way and who isn't sure where his hobby will take him, a zoom allows him to explore a bit more than a prime lens would. I'd never recommend a prime lens to a beginner.

At the risk of exposing my own rank amateurishness...
I'm not sure if what I do counts as "problem solving" per se, but having said that...
I do love the laser sharpness of my 50 mm, but like others, it remains the least-used lens in my kit. These days, I'm finding that the cruel march of time has made it more and more difficult to "zoom with my feet." I often find that what I would consider the ideal location for composing a shot is either not within my current capabilities physically, or places me in an unsafe position given my bad knees and back/neck. Zoom lenses give me my legs back, in a way. It's not ideal, but it works and keeps me going out to shoot.
These days I have to approach composition by asking myself, which zoom gives me optimal framing, given my limitations moving around?
Speaking only for myself, I think it's better to find your own way into the "discipline" of photography. While there are unquestionable advantages to technical mastery in taking pictures, I think I'm with geodef on this one - start with as few limitations as possible to allow what (if any) creativity you may have to run free. If you truly enjoy what you're doing and have a desire to improve your work, you will naturally find your way to better technique and an appreciation of "old school" -ahem- virtues and values. They should have a place in every photographer's knowledge base. You might even find yourself giving out advice on lenses and writing lengthy high-falutin' posts in a forum...
For those of you about to fling, I prefer cornbread and sausage stuffing

I WOULD!!! These days I usually recommend the 35mm f/1.8, which is the "new" 50mm f/1.8 — meaning, it's a "normal" prime on a DX camera (if the beginner is, like so many beginners, shooting DX). I suggest it not necessarily because it's the same as our human field of view but because it's the cheapest AF-S way into shallow depth of field.
When we start learning about photography, I think we need to learn about exposure, and that means learning about aperture and shutter speed. Problem is that with the largest aperture available most of the time on most kit zooms being f/4.something you can pretty much forget trying to learn about aperture. With that dark viewfinder not helping any, it's really hard for beginners to experience what folks are talking about. Depth of field? It's just hard to control in anything but the narrowest set of non-beginner-modal-circumstances using an f/fake-the-3.5-rush-through-the-4's-5 kit lens.
Depending of course on precisely what the beginner wants to shoot, I think a beginner is quite well challenged, and hugely excited, by shooting with shallow depth of field. It's the type of photographs that most instantly sets their pictures apart from what they've been getting with their P&S's, and why the latest rash of compacts is so keen to advertise this new "magical" feature. It's exciting!!!
Exciting is what keeps people shooting, and hence keeps them learning.
Most beginners start with a zoom (came with the camera), and in that case I wholeheartedly encourage them to consider a fast prime for their second lens.
(Shout out to the OP: Maybe we've been reading different posts. I remember far more "which should be my next lens" posts, particularly newbie posts, than "which zoom lens should I buy" posts. ???)
If they're looking to buy a dSLR and want to know which kit to go for, I'd say, within the range of what you can afford, get the one in which the price differential between extra cost of "meatier kit" and extra cost of buying the "meatier" lens on its own, is greatest. Biggest potential for profit if and when you sell it.
(It's good to get newbies introduced to the idea of not getting too attached to their lenses, opens up the idea of maybe one day wanting another lens, paving the way for full-blown NAS and a lot more "which lens should I buy" posts in the future.)
If they've inherited a dSLR with no zoom at all, even then I'd ask them what kind of things they'd most like to shoot before I'd suggest a zoom. Landscape, travel photography, hmmm, let's see ... Anything else and I'd probably suggest a fast prime even if it's their only lens.
Perhaps probably.
I'll have to think it over.
Food would help.
Please tell your dogs to get in line like everybody else ...

Men's Athletes of the Week
PCAC Men's AOTW honors go to Ross, Mitchell
MAY 23, 2016 - Baseball San Diego Mesa College javelin thrower Chris Ross and Grossmont College baseball player Justin Mitchell been named Pacific Coast Athletic Conference's final Men's Athletes of the Week for the 2015-2016 academic year.
Ross, a freshman from Steele Canyon High School, got out a throw of 175 feet, 9 inches (53.58 meters) to place second in the event at the CCCAA State Championships hosted by Mesa at Merrill Douglas Stadium.
He finished only behind state champion Alvin Sung from College of San Mateo (189 feet, 6 inches / 57.76 meters).
The previous weekend, Ross captured the Southern California javelin title with a throw of 188 feet, 0 inches (52.29 meters) at the SoCal Community College finals at Antelope Valley College in Lancaster.
Mitchell, Grossmont's sophomore first baseman from Granite Hills High School, a transfer from San Diego State University, turned in a 4-for-9 performance as the Griffins dropped back-to-back heartbreakers on the road to Cypress over the weekend in one of two Southern California Divisional best-of-3 playoff series.
Mitchell went 2-for-4 with two doubles and scored a run as the Griffins lost game 1 by a 6-5 score on Friday.
On Saturday, he was 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs as the Chargers held off a G-House rally, winning 11-10 to negate a possible third game on Sunday and advance to this upcoming weekend's CCCAA State Championship Final Four in Fresno.
Honorable mention was awarded to Cuyamaca track & field athletes Alex Templeton and Dane Randolph.
Templeton, a freshman from Poway High School who also punts for the Grossmont College football team, cleared 6-9 ½ (2.07 meters) for the second straight meet to place third in the high jump at state meet. Mt. SAC's Joseph Bryant won the state title at 7 feet, ¼ inch (2.14 meters). Templeton's mark tied for second best in the competition but he lost out on a second-place finish because he had more misses.
Randolph, a freshman from Monte Vista High School, improved his time by 12 seconds from the Southern California finals as he placed sixth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the state finals with a 9:42.83 time. College of the Canyons' Jason Hillquist, the Southern California champion, took home the state meet gold medal by running 9:16.04.

The new edition of Mollison is out. This unadorned statement is enough to send all blood-bankers rushing to their booksellers. To admirers of the third edition (1961) it will be no surprise that the fourth edition is lucidly written, sensibly organized, admirably compendious, and has an astonishing bibliography. Readers not yet familiar with Blood Transfusion in Clinical Medicine should lose no time in acquiring it.
Within the broad field of blood transfusion are subjects which affect clinicians of every variety, physiologists, pathologists, biochemists, computer experts, and refrigeration engineers, and there is something in this edition for all of them. The emphasis remains on the clinical applications of immunohematology, but a concise section on "immunologic aspects" covers the newer work on immunoglobulins, complement, and the biochemical nature of antigens. Experimental work in red blood cell preservation is described briefly, and advances in leukocyte and platelet grouping are discussed. Described in detail

MP3: Rock Mecca - "New York Noise"
Courtesy Who Got Next.
Believe the hype. Coming out of Queens, Rock Mecca is one of the most anticipated top prospects rapidly rising out of the New York music scene. His vivid rhymes, energetic flow and rugged delivery have quickly earned him a spot above other up and coming lyricists as one to watch this year.

MP3: Hasan Salaam - "1911"
On the heels of releasing two critically acclaimed projects (2008's "Children of God" and 2011's collaborative effort with Rugged N Raw "Mohammed Dangerfield" which featured the well-circulated cut with Immortal Technique "Break Of A Star"), Hasan Salaam returns with a new EP "Music Is My Weapon" (appearances by Steele of Smif N Wessun, Chace Infinite, Reef The Lost Cauze, Eternia and production by Snowgoons) which is scheduled to be released on 12-6-2011; and even loftier goals.
While Hasan already spends a great deal of time doing community outreach (he organizes food and clothing drives in New Jersey every month), he is using his EP to spearhead another cause he is very passionate about and hoping it can help change people's lives--- literally! Hasan will be donating all of the proceeds from the release of "Music Is My Weapon" to the "It Takes A Village" foundation to help aid the building of a school, medical clinic and clean water well in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa in an effort to provide change to a Country that remains one of the poorest and least politically stable in the world (Hasan saw this first hand in 2010 as he became the first U.S. Hip-hop artist to perform in Bissau as he headlined a concert there to promote freedom of speech).On Monday October 31st, Hasan will release the video for "1911" and we will include more definitive information on the "It Takes A Village" initiative.DL link to Hasan Salaam's "1911" (produced by Ari Why): http://hulkshare.com/suzsjdzyloau .

MP3: Big Pooh - "They Say (Legendary RMX) f/ Phife Dawg & T3
Courtesy Audible Treats.
Big Pooh has conjured up a whopping new remix with some big names to go along with it. "They Say," the most recent single released from Pooh's upcoming album, Dirty Pretty Things, gets a once-over by producer Focus..., along with some stellar guest verses from two rappers who have spent much of their now legendary careers unjustly overshadowed, namely, Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest and T3 of Slum Village.
"I wanted to do a remix that felt like when Pete Rock or DJ Premier used to remix records, give it a whole new feel," says Big Pooh. "As I was listening to the track and thinking about the message, I reached out to two legends from legendary groups who's contributions and skills may have also been overlooked." With Big Pooh's first verse untouched, the remix moves on to Phife's honest dialogue, sparring with the opinions of music fans who have may doubted his skills as a solo artist. T3, who closes out the track, offers his own scathing bars. For his part, Focus... doesn't disappoint, flipping the Cali-vibe of the original in favor of some classic horn chops of heavy drums, swapping out Choklate's singing in lieu of some sharp scratching that serves to keep things entertaining between verses.Download "They Say (Legendary Remix)" for free here: http://media.audibletreats.com/Big_Pooh-They_Say_RMX_Ft_Phife_Dawg_And_T3.mp3 .

THX GOD, the WILLIAMS are back!
How can anyone take what you say seriously when you write like a cretin, I like the Williams sisters, big but not masculine, ladies who look like ladies. They bring in the crowds it's a shame there's not more competition but that's not their fault. Hurry back Maria you're sorely missed.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Maria? a sullen, arrogant over-rated player who certainly did not mind cheating against other players. A good player I have to admit but I cant stand the woman. Her superior attitude and disgusting father used to wind me up no end!
Any tournament that has the Williams sisters playing is going to be much more interesting. They tend to be much more consistent and even help to raise the standard of some of the other women players and let's face it some of them are woeful at times.

The following are the key processes that we focus on - although that doesn't mean they are all we can do - far from it.
3D Printing
Pd models utilises the latest in technology to deliver 3d printed parts to a level that is second to none. Using our Project 3000 HD plus machine from 3D systems, we can produce detailed highly accurate parts that are built with a surface quality unmatched from other machines. The level of detail produced really is stunning, constructed parts are smooth and durable and have no problem reproducing fine details such as logos with pin sharp precision. Parts are built with minimal layer lines or stepping, cutting down on the need for post processing compared with other machines. From high tolerance engineered parts to highly textured CGI sculpted figurines, all are possible.
Parts are built in VisiJet® EX200 material that offers an engineered plastic performance for durability and stability ideal for functional testing and rapid tooling applications. Click to view the datasheet.
Moving parts are also possible with this machine, as the support material is wax, given enough clearance; an entire mechanism can be build already assembled and ready to go in a single part.
- Produce high definition parts with crisp details and smooth surface finish.
- With ultra fine definition, pin sharp details and wall sections down to 0.2mm can be achieved.
- Selectable print resolution for a balance of speed, quality and cost.
- Parts can be Drilled, Glued, Painted, Plated, Cast etc.
- Highly delicate detailed geometries are possible as the support material is made from wax
and is easily removed from parts
- Moving parts are possible.
Hand finishing and print definition
Our Projet 3000 HD plus Machine features selectable print resolution choices for a balance of speed and quality, from ultra High definition 16 micron layers, a middle 25 micron layer and a larger 40 micron layer setting where speed and turnaround is the biggest priority.
Below you can see examples of what to expect. These are photos of a domed part around 35 mm in diameter, zoomed in so you can see the difference. Please note that we have also painted them the blue colour to make it easier to see.
As good as our machine is, sometimes your model needs to be absolutely perfect. If you have a show or need to take the parts through to vacuum casting then PD Models offers a hand finishing service for your 3D printed parts. Our finishing skills are second to none and our experienced model makers can provide a variety of finishes from high gloss to a textured finish, and in any colour.
What our clients say
"Design Edge has been working with PD Models over a number of years and within this time we have always found PD to be reliable and cost-effective, producing rapid prototypes of our designs to an extremely high standard within a fast turnaround period." Alasdair Barnett - Design Edge Cambridge Ltd

When it comes to e-commerce, MIC BankCard will continue to support Authorize.Net, the payment gateway it provides to Tsys customers. But new enrollees and dealers who switch to First Data can choose to use the virtual terminals instead.
Authorize.Net charges $5 per month and an extra nickel per transaction (for a total of 25 cents). First Data charges $25 per month but no transaction fee. So a dealer breaks even after just 80 transactions.
The First Data gateway can be integrated into any dealership website, regardless of the website provider (PowerSports Network, 50 Below, ARI, etc.). "Just call us," Tanzy says. "Via e-mail we set up an FTP site with an integration kit. Your Web developer then grabs that and puts it in."
The gateway consists of a generic shopping cart and "pay page" that are secured. For a fee, dealers can customize the page with their logo and contact information. (Continued on page 2.)
Further Details, How to Switch
Here are the nuts and bolts of the BankCard program:
- Transactions are deposited into a dealer's bank within two business days.
- There is no contract and no daily settlement fee, batch fee, annual fee or terminal programming fee.
- Dealers are not required to keep an offsetting depository account, and they can switch back to their old processor at any time, with no termination fee.
- The introductory rate will not be increased at a later date (except during Visa/Mastercard's normal increase in April).
- Discount rates come in 87 "buckets" for which dealers qualify, averaging about 1.23 percent.
- The per-transaction fee is 20 cents
- Debits with First Data have no discount rates, only a flat per-transaction fee of 45 cents.
- Check cards, gift cards, private-label cards, and "foreign cards" like AmEx and Discover have a flat fee of 25 cents.
- Although MIC BankCard has processed OEM revolving cards in the past, it's not currently handling any (see the bonus coverage below this article for more details).
- A monthly statement fee is negotiable and will never exceed $10.
Generic gift cards cost 78 cents apiece. Customized ones cost a dollar. First Data also offers its own loyalty rewards cards. Customers earn points redeemable for store credit. They can log on to their own home page to see how many rewards points they've earned, just as they can check the balance on their gift cards.
There's no cost to sign up with MIC BankCard or to switch processing. "The greatest thing about that is that there's one set of paperwork," Tanzy says. "It's like four pages, and that can switch their check processing, their gift cards (if they choose to do so) and their merchant account. The paperwork is more streamlined because it's just one company."
Whereas switching to Tsys used to take three to four weeks, switching now takes two to three. "And that's the entire process, from the day you call us, until the day you're actually switched in processing," Tanzy says. During the transition, dealers are never without processing. There's no downtime. (Continued)

There is some support for brother multi-function ink jet printers in Mint 9 (copy, scan, fax & print) but not all, or even the majority. Brother provides Linux drivers for these printers on their site so I can get it 90% working with some terminal work so its not a major inconvenience for me but it would be great to have it work out of the box. I'm sure you guys have higher priority items on your list but I thought I would mention this just in case it might make it in to a future release .... or is this more of an Ubuntu item (Called Upstream?)?
Either way I am sticking with Mint. Its a great product and the Mint team does an outstanding job, THANK YOU!
My Brother model is mfc-490cw BTW I just started using Linux (dual boot with Vista) about 3 months ago. Tried several distros but none came close to Mint 9 IMO.

Thought I would reply to this old post of mine. Mint 13 has successfully recognized both my laser and inkjet as well as two scanners. I had problems with the printers being recognized in previous versions and had to consult the manufacturer.
Mint just keeps getting better and better.
Im really enjoying working with 13.

One has to wonder what Jeremy Pruitt expected when he was hired by Georgia. Surely, it wasn't this much drama in his first offseason.
After he was hired in January, a slew of assistant coaches departed, and he led a search for their replacements. He then rallied the troops for an impressive recruiting closeout on national signing day. He's seen players from his defense placed under arrest, dismissed from the team and transfer to other schools of their own volition. He's brought an offensive playmaker (J.J. Green) to his side of the ball and lost a former starter (Brendan Langley) to the offense.
He's done all of this while trying to rebuild a defense that was severely disappointing in 2013. And yet, his real tests have not yet begun.
Here are five opposing offenses (in order of scheduling) that will present Pruitt with his toughest challenges in 2014.

About the Book
"Ashbery is a national treasure."
—New York Times Book Review<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The poetry of John Ashbery has been awarded virtually every conceivable literary prize including the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Griffin, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Planisphere is a new collection by one of America's most innovative and influential poets—an exceptional artist whose work stands alongside the finest of Whitman, Dickinson, Stevens, and Hart Crane. For more than half a century Ashbery has been producing timeless works such as Chinese Whispers, Hotel Lautréamont, A Wave, Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror, and Where Shall I Wander. Planisphere is proof that the master only improves with age.
Just as the day could use another hour,
I need another idea. Not a concept
or a slogan. Something more like a rut
made thousands of years ago by one of the first
wheels as it rolled along. It never came back
to see what it had done, and the rut
just stayed there, not thinking of itself
or calling attention to itself in any way.
Sun baked it. Water stood, or rather sat
in it. Wind covered it with dust, then blew it
away. Always it was available to itself
when it wished to be, which wasn't often.
Then there was a cup and ball theory
I told you about. A lot of people had left the coast.
Squirt conditions obtained. I forgot I overwhelmed you
once upon a time, between everybody's sound sleep
and waking afterward, trying to piece together
what had happened. The rut glimmered
through centuries of snow and after.
I suppose it was trying to make some point
but we never found out about that,
having come to know each other years later
when our interest in zoning had revived again.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Ashbery helms a keen awareness of himself throughout...If he's repetitive, it's in the way that a beach is repetitive with sand, or the night sky is repetitive with stars." — Boston Phoenix
" [Ashbery's] productivity has done nothing to diminish his legendary inscrutability, not sap his notorious zest for playing havoc with nearly every convention and fixed idea about poetry under the sun." — Boston Globe
"Deeply pleasurable...Ashbery still has his ear to the ground, he's still listening, and the results are fun, funny, often wise, sometimes brilliant..." — BookForum

So, I just recently installed the Crayon syntax highlighter. I've been using FV Code Highlighter until now, and while it doesn't really have any problems, it's not the easiest to work with.
I switched to Crayon because it's so easy to include code snippets in a WordPress, and very easy to edit this code.
My issue - the Crayon plugin has seriously slowed down my site. I've been trying to figure out what the cause was, and downloaded the P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) plugin. The plugin shows that Crayon is taking 4.5 seconds to load, which is over 50% of my total load time.
Any suggestions on how to speed this thing up? Can we disable all the themes not being used? Or all the languages not being used? Anything else we can do to speed this up?

I am having such a hard time taking any form of prenatal vitamin! Nausea has started for me about 3 days ago and I get it on and off throughout the whole day. I was taking a chewable prenatal that my ob gave me a prescription for ( I cannot swallow pills at all!) but lately I cannot stomach them and end up puking them up. I can't even think about taking them or I start gagging! So this morning I went and bought Flintstones Complete and figure that's better than nothing..well I upchucked that one also! I have a bottle of the gummy Vitafusion prenatals that I was taking before I went to the dr, but I have been reading alot of conflicting information on them and I'm not sure if I should take those or not. I can take the gummy flintstones and keep them down..anyone taking those? Or do you know how they compare to the flintstones complete?
What to do about prenatal vitamins?
I know this post is from a month ago but I was searching the posts for answers to the same question you asked. Lately, everytime I take my prenatals I end up throwing up. They didnt do that when I was pregnant with DS. I thought about just getting the gummy vitamins and taking two instead of one. I am horrible with pills also and I have to use applesause to swallow them. Its all a mind thing for me. Sometimes I gag even when its in the applesauce. Its so sad! What did you end up doing about your vitamins??

I did flintstones with my son after 12 weeks of trying to choke down those horse pills!! this time I bought chewable gummy prenatals and I still gag while taking them! I am going back to flintstones...
Yeah I think I'll be going to the store after work and buying the gummies. Thats better then just puking up the others and not getting anything. I also buy those Ensure drinks, they have a lot of vitamins and stuff in them.

I also drink the Carnation Instant Breakfast shakes when I first get up....they don;t have a crazy amount of Folic acid, but some is better than none!
There are just folic acid suppliments if you aren't able to get anything else down. The ones I have are from Trader Joe's, they are very small and you can have them disolve under your tounge (cherry flavor!) and give 800 mcg of folic acid, exactly what we're supposed to get.
I'm able to take a pre-natal, but I had the folic acid from when I was trying to get pregnant. I've also taken it a few days when I skipped the pre-natal in order to help my digestive track get "things" moving again (iron can slow things down).
I originally posted in another thread that I wasn't going to do the VitaFusion gummies because they didn't have iron, but I talked to the nurse at my doctors office yesterday and she said that I can take them and then take an iron supplement (Slow Fe was recommended) once my nausea started to subside (and take the suppmenent after food/at night).
Married to DH 2/10/07
Mommy to DS 2/1/10, DD #1 1/26/12, & DD #2 4/13/14
Thats when I was taking them, right before bed and i'd end up throwing up my dinner. So the other day around 5:00 in the evening i was feeling pretty good so I decided to go ahead and take them... about 10 min later i was hovering over the toilet, twice! Its just frustrating!

I finally found ones that don't make me sick! Citra-calm! It's 3 pills a day, but so worth it. Doc gave it to me to try cause I couldn't stand 4 other types I tried. The key is the DHA and oils are fruit and veggie based instead of fish based. If you look most prenatal have fish oil from anchovies in it!!! YUCK!!!
Try it out I bet you'll like it!

UPDATE - The boil water advisory has been lifted for all of Hodgenville.
A boil water advisory has been issued for all Hodgenville Water Works customers. According to city officials a random sample indicated some bacterial growth.
According to an official release from the City of Hodgenville, fecal coliform bacteria were found in the water supply on August 19, 2016. These bacteria can back you sick, and are a particular concern for people with weakened immune systems.
UPDATE - The roadway is now open in both directions.
Two vehicles were involved in an accident on Lincoln Farm Road in front of Lincoln's General Store in Hodgenville. Officials said one victim was transported to the county line by LaRue County EMS then airlifted to University of Louisville Hospital. A second victim refused transport. Extent of injuries are not known at this time.
South bound lanes are open with traffic alternating while officials reconstruct the scene.
A new felony expungement law in Kentucky for class D felonies has caused a lot of misunderstanding for people who are wishing to expunge a felony from their record.
The state legislature passed house bill 40 during their 2016 session, which allows people with class D felonies to have their convictions expunged. The expungement will eliminate all records of the charge, including the original police report, as well as erasing all documentation about the charge and conviction from the official record.
Kentucky Auditor Mike Harmon's Office recently released their results of a special examination of alleged misuse of public funds by the department's former Buffalo fire department chief Wendell Perkins.
A local woman who was recently arrested for manslaughter pled not guilty in court last Monday.
Lovie P. Skaggs, 59, of Hodgenville was arraigned in LaRue County Circuit Court. She was appointed a public defender and she entered a not guilty plea. Chief Circuit Judge Charles C. Simms III also ordered to have a psychiatric examination and observation on Lovie Skaggs to determine her mental condition.
More than one hundred people came out for the Industrial Hemp Field Day event last Thursday at the David Pepper Farm outside Hodgenville.
Several specialists in industrial hemp research attended the event including Tom Keene from the University of Kentucky, Todd Willian from Western Kentucky University and Tom Hutchens and Dave Spalding from Atalo Holdings, Inc.
The filing deadline for local city council and school board races ended last Tuesday with a crowded field of eight for the Hodgenville City Council race that includes four incumbents, a former council member a former police chief and two local business owners.
Incumbents who filed for reelection were Larry Davis, Sharon Hornback, Bonnie Clark and Mitchell Key. Davis, Hornback and Key are all filing for their second term. Clark is filing for her fifth term.
A local man was arrested for meth possession, fleeing the scene and several other charges after police responded to a disturbance call last Thursday on Bailey Road in the Mt. Sherman area.
According to the LaRue County Sheriffs Office, the incident started when officers responded to a trespass complaint at the intersection of Bailey Road and Mt. Sherman Ward Road. The owner stated that a green car was parked on their land and that it had left prior to the officers' arrival.
From cupcakes, fudge and hams to cattle, rabbits and crafts, many LaRue County residents are getting ready for the state fair.
Several local businesses are going to set up shop at the Kentucky State Fair including Sugar Fashion Cakes, Sarah Anthony, who said it's her first time at the state fair as a vendor.
"This is our first year doing the state fair," Anthony said. "We've been making around 1,000 cupcakes a day."

Anya Shrubsole is keeping focused on the task at hand after England Women secured their place in the semi-finals of the World Twenty20.
The 22-year-old seamer shone once again as England secured their last-four berth with a seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka.
Shrubsole took 3-9 in the match, leaving her with superb tournament figures of 10-42 following the group stages.
The success sees England leave Sylhet for Dhaka for the knockout stages, where two wins will see them crowned champions.
Shrubsole is keeping calm as the competition heads to its conclusion and has confidence in England's chances if they continue doing what they have been since the opening defeat to West Indies.
"We've just got to keep doing what we've been doing," she said. "In the last three games we've been putting in some really good performances. Now we have to move on to Dhaka and keep putting in these performances."
But while she has her eyes on glory in the Bangladesh capital, Shrubsole admits she will miss Sylhet, which has hosted all of the games in the women's tournament so far.
She added: "It's been brilliant. This ground's amazing and we've had some really great crowds.
"This is the reason why we play international cricket, to play in front of crowds in tournaments like this. It's been a pleasurable experience and we're looking forward to heading to Dhaka for the semi-finals."
Shrubsole has enjoyed, once more, getting the chance to play in front of large crowds at a big event, after the overwhelming success of the back-to-back multi-format Ashes series.
"It's something that we're used to," she said, when asked if she had enjoyed playing in front of a large group of spectators and the television cameras.
"We've played quite a lot in front of television audiences back home and in various series. It's not something new but it's obviously really exciting and it's a chance to showcase our game and hopefully we'll put in some more good performances."
Although the knockout rounds are yet to start, the nature of the Sri Lanka game – where the winner would progress to the next stage – has England ready for must-win cricket.
And Shrubsole was pleased with how the squad responded to Sunday's task.
She said: "We came knowing we had to win the game. It was just a quarter-final. As a bowling unit we've been performing pretty well throughout the group stage. We came out and put in a good performance as a group."

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � A Dresden woman has been charged in connection with a string of burglaries this summer in Kennebec County.
State police say 23-year-old Sabrina Marino is charged with three counts of burglary and one count of theft by receiving stolen property stemming from break-ins in Augusta, Manchester and Wayne.
Police say about $5,000 worth of property was taken during the home burglaries, and none of it has been recovered.
Police tell the Kennebec Journal (http://bit.ly/U2ed8R ) that Marino was apprehended Nov. 20, when she was a passenger in a car stopped by Kennebec County sheriff's deputies and Gardiner police.
Marino's boyfriend is also facing charges.

The Nights Were Flamed With Fire
When I heard Damion Suomi & The Minor Prophets for the first time, they were performing on the main stage at Wild Goose Festival 2012, opening up for established artists Jennifer Knapp and Phil Madeira. I had heard good things about them from my friend Todd Fadel, the music director for the festival, and I was not disappointed.
It was an experience I can only liken to hearing Bill Mallonee for the first time, performing with the Vigilantes of Love at Cornerstone Festival in 1992 (how can it be 20 years ago?!). Or hearing Steven Delopoulos for the first time, performing with Burlap to Cashmere. (In fact, Suomi's voice and The Minor Prophets folk-rock will no doubt get compared to Burlap, but don't be fooled, this is entirely new/different story!)
In both of those experiences, I immediately went out and purchased the CD (remember those?). Hearing Suomi and band was exactly the same. Product procured immediately following their set, I listened to their fantastic plastic musical disc Go, And Sell All Your Things all the way back home after the festival.

Horrible Histories is an animated series based off the book series of the same name, running from 2001 to 2002.
The Animated Series shows examples of following tropes:
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: From the Lewis and Clark's Expedition episode:Random Character: You guys must be the new CIT's, right?Mo: What's that, Cartoon's in Time?
- Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: Mo in the UK version.
- Field Trip to the Past: The entire premise of the series. In each episode, Stitch and Mo would be transported to a different historical era, which would help them learn a lesson or solve a problem in their everyday lives.
- Girlish Pigtails: Mo.
- I Need to Go Iron My Dog: Chickening-out version: the animated program featured a smart-mouth jerk attempting to get out of Grecian-style wrestling by claiming to have sprained his oesophagus.
- Interactive Narrator: The narrator constantly talks to the characters, and appears to be responsible for the time travelling.
- Lame Excuse: The animated series featured a smart-mouth jerk attempting to get out of Grecian-style wrestling by claiming to have sprained his oesophagus.
- Limited Animation: One of the most severe cases of this. Characters move very non-linear and choppily. The ditial ink and paint is the only thing that has you convinced that this show was actually produced from 2000 to 2002.
- Meadow Run: Starts when Mo and Stitch are reunited in the American Revolution episode. They decide against it at the last second.
- Red Shirt: A generic man dies in every episode.
- Same Language Dub: Mo and the narrator were voiced by different actors in the UK, US and Australian versions.
- Wheel o' Feet: Used in the animated series.
- Who Names Their Kid Stitch?

Hi, am new to wordpress but have fooled around with these infernal machines since '89. Got my blog running this past weekend and stable and have utilized many plugins and widgets. I've got a few items I'd really like to resolve:
1. How can I post something dated say, 5/10/07, and have it go directly to archives and related post categories without appearing on the front page? I've dozens of such items I've written around the web over the years I'd like to get on my own site now but don't want them cluttering up the front.
I've already linked to them on a menu, then set up a links categories and redid it but neither really satisfies nor do I want to set up a page for them. I really want to post them directly to the blog to add content and increase SEO appeal without putting dated material up front. Any ideas?
2. Is there a collapsible Links menu widget that actually works? I have several links categories I really want organized like a menu or drop-down list on the sidebar that'll offer all the categories and expand them with a click or hover.
3. What widget makes those nice color boxes for block quotes or other info you want to highlight in a post?
4. What is the best Pull Quote widget?
5. Is anyone familiar with Flexithemes? If so, are all the themes configurable to 3 columns? Does anyone know how to reach them. They have not responded to email inquiries.

Let B ("black") and W ("white") be disjoint compact test sets in d, and consider the volume of all its simultaneous shifts keeping B inside and W outside a compact set A d. If the union B W is rescaled by a factor tending to zero, then the rescaled volume converges to a value determined by the surface area measure of A and the support functions of B and W, provided that A is regular enough (e.g., polyconvex). An analogous formula is obtained for the case when the conditions B A and W AC are replaced by prescribed threshold volumes of B in A and W in AC. Applications in stochastic geometry are discussed. First, the hit distribution function of a random set with an arbitrary compact structuring element B is considered. Its derivative at 0 is expressed in terms of the rose of directions and B. An analogous result holds for the hit-or-miss function. Second, in a design based setting, different random digitizations of a deterministic set A are treated. It is shown how the number of configurations in such a digitization is related to the surface area measure of A as the lattice distance converges to zero.

That's the problem: he was great in his Charlton days... for a team that wanted to survive. He's not got the push or the nouse to play for a team that want to challenge. Many a time (admittedly, less towards the end of the season) he stood in the box and watched the play go around him. Not because he was biding his time, but because he didn't have a clue what to do. That's why he did well as a lone striker - he didn't have to play intelligently then. Now that he does though, he's got no chance.I'll pay 12p for him, I think that's more than enough.

Just Cause
Nothing is more fun than overthrowing a regime, sandbox-style!
As Rico Rodriguez, you'll get to fight your way across the absurdly sun-drenched island of San Esperito as you try to overthrow the island's dictator, Salvador Mendoza. Your adventure begins diving from a cargo plane's hold far above San Esperito to meet your contact on the beach, and that's when you get to meet your new best friend: your parachute. Using the game's stunt system, you can fire out your parachute virtually any time you're even the slightest bit elevated.
Using it, free fall, and your grapple gun, you can place yourself in virtually any position you want to accomplish your mission -- and if you need to get somewhere else, you can jump from one moving vehicle to another, kick the occupants out, and get back on track. It's not the slightest bit realistic, but "giant lush island setting" and "innovative and fun core gameplay" aren't bad hooks to hang your sandbox game from.
The core storyline occupies 28 missions, but pursuing those can be as much of an afterthought as anything else. Your first "real" mission is to help a guerilla leader escape from prison, endearing you to the rebels, but you could just as easily spend the time fighting for or against a cartel, hunting down more gear, or just drifting around the 250,000 acres of San Esperito's load-less beauty.
We didn't get any hands on time, but we got to see how slick the plane and boat controls look, and how charmingly wacky the "jump out of anything and use your 'chute'" gameplay works with biplanes. If you're slow to make a hit, you can hop to the airport, grab a plane, take her up to just over your target, jump out and grab a hold of the plane's wing, freefall and parachute to above your target, grapple gun your way onto its vehicle, and then blow up the car after you lose its escort.
We're ready to live the island life when Just Cause releases in the fall.

By Sgt. Mike Alberts, 25th Infantry Division Public AffairsJuly 22, 2008
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - Unit family readiness groups (FRGs) exist to help address needs that arise out of questions like: What can my spouse do to better tolerate our separation' Where can we get help for a child who's having difficulties at school' Are resources available to help us manage deployment pay' As such, FRGs can be invaluable to deploying Soldiers and their families. Critical to FRG success, however, are the few who ensure that family support is coordinated and responsive. On July 14, those vital few, known as family readiness support assistants, or FRSAs, and other military leaders, participated in a town hall meeting here, at the Kalakaua Community Center. Seventeen Hawaii-based FRSAs and an equal number of military leaders, to include current and future rear detachment commanders, convened at Schofield Barracks to discuss certain administrative, training and performance evaluation issues, as well as hiring practices and policies related to the FRSA program. The program began in 2003 when the need to further address family readiness during times of rapid deployments became apparent. An FRSA's main duty is to provide administrative and logistical support to commanders, rear detachment commanders and volunteer FRG leaders. By taking the administrative burden off volunteers, FRSAs allow FRG leaders to concentrate on performing outreach to Soldiers and their families, thus preserving stability on the home front, according to Carolyn Killian, Well Being/Quality of Life specialist, FRSA program manager, U.S. Army-Pacific. "FRSAs are combat multipliers," said Killian. "They allow commanders to focus on the mission, while the FRSA supports the commander and the FRG leader, which increases the level of family readiness of the unit." Because of their importance to mission success, Killian believes that providing forums for discussion of specific concerns and issues impacting FRSAs is critical to program success. Senior military leaders agree. "Public forums like today's town hall are critical to the success of the program," explained Col. Thomas Guthrie, chief of staff, 25th Infantry Division. "They provide the opportunity to dialogue, to publicly discuss concerns and opinions, and to basically get answers to specific questions about a resource and a program that are not only evolving, but critical to mission success." Lori Garcia is the FRSA for 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team. Motivated simply by a genuine interest in helping Soldiers and their families better tolerate deployment, Garcia explained her role. "I see myself as a facilitator," said Garcia. "If I do my job correctly, the command knows exactly what is going on with the FRGs, and the FRGs know exactly what the command wants. Everyone is connected, and no one falls through the cracks like they might have in the past." Garcia's rear detachment commander, Capt. Charles Romero, acknowledged her extraordinary value to his unit. "Lori's a critical piece of deployment for us," said Romero. "Among other things, she frees up a staff officer or company commander, which allows them to focus on preparing their Soldiers for (deployment) operations. "With the group of ladies that we have running the FRGs within our battalion, and with Lori administering and coordinating for us, I have total confidence that we can take care of all our families '24/7,'" he said.
