This member has provided no bio about themself... and there is a reason for that :)
This is what I got my user name from. If my knowledge of history is correct this is what U.S. soldiers would leave behind to show that they have been there, also I think this started in WWII. If you can correct any info. please feel free to leave a comment.

Best of Total Beauty: All Our Best Beauty Product Stories in One Place
Posted 11/29/11 at 06:30AM by Rebekah George
Great tips because I had too dark brown hair and didn't know what to do other than wash it a lot.
I think you look great in both hair colors! Maybe next time, I would go back and make the stylist fix it for free. We are supposed to leave there happy with the end product.
I know this is an older post, but I have to add because I am a colorist and I have to add something. First YES...Dish soap is very harsh and works and LOTS of conditioner afterwards, but DO NOT use a toner if you want it to continue to lighten on its own. A toner only DEPOSITS color. It only adds more pigment and will darken and change the tone of the color and seal closed the cuticle again. If your color is too dark when you leave a salon you really should call back the salon and ask them to look at it. It may have been a miscommunication. Usually they would be more than happy to help. You paid for the service! Most of us just want to make you happy and keep you happy!
Dawn dish soap and lots of conditioner. The same thing happened to me.
Me too. I actually thought the darker hair color looked great on you and complimented your skin tone. Your hair wasn't black, it was a very dark brown which suited you nicely.

The sun was sinking low beyond the ford of the foaming Platte. The distant bluffs commanding the broad valley of the Sweetwater stood sharp and clear against the westward skies. The smoke from the camp-fires along the stream rose in misty columns straight aloft, for not so much as a breath of breeze had wafted down from the far snow fields of Cloud Peak, or the sun-sheltered rifts of the Big Horn. The flag at the old fort, on the neighboring height, clung to the staff with scarcely a flutter, awaiting the evening salute of the trumpets and the roar of the sunset gun.
The long June day had seemed unusually unconscionably long to the young girl flitting restlessly about the vine-covered porch of the roadside cottage. She laid the big binocular aside, for perhaps the twentieth time within the hour, with a sigh of impatience, a piteous quiver about the pretty, rosebud mouth, a wistful, longing look in the dark and dreamy eyes. Ever since stable call, and her father's departure to his never-neglected duty, she had hovered about that shaded nook, again and again searching the northward slopes and ridges. The scouts had been in three hours ago, reporting the squadron only a mile or so behind. It should have dismounted, unsaddled, fed, watered, and groomed by this time, and Rawdon should have been here at her side-Rawdon, whom she had not seen for three mortal days-Rawdon, whom, for three mortal weeks before the march, she had not missed seeing sometimes several times a day, even when he was on guard-Rawdon, whom she had never set eyes on before the first of April, and whom now she looked upon as the foremost soldier of the regiment, when in point of fact he was but a private trooper, serving the first part of his first enlistment, in the eyes of his elders a mere recruit, and in those of Sergeant Fitzroy an unspeakable thing.
Another long peep through the signal glasses, another sigh, and then she came, this girl of seventeen, in her dainty white frock, and plumped herself dejectedly down on the top step, with two very shapely, slender, slippered feet displayed on the second below, two dimpled elbows planted on her knees, two flushed, soft, rounded cheeks buried in two long and slender hands. Away over at the stables she could hear the tap, tap, of curry-comb on brush-back, as the First Squadron groomed its fidgety mounts. Away up the valley the voices of the children in the Arapahoe village rose gleefully on the air. Away up among the barracks and quarters at the fort, the band of the Infantry was playing sweet melody. Peace, content, and harmony were roundabout her, but the dark eyes, welling with unshed tears, told of a troubled heart.
And then of a sudden the tears were dashed away and the girl sprang to her feet. A blithe voice hailed her from within.
"Dey's comin', Miss Dora-two on 'em, at least-like enough to be twin brudders."
The girl ran to the northward corner again and gazed out across the rushing, swollen river. Not so much as a sign of a dust-cloud to tell of marching cavalry, and she turned again, with rebuke ready on her tongue, but again the voice from within:
"Ah know well 'nuff what brings de lieutenant round dis way. As for dat-
Coming up the slope at easy canter rode a young officer, with broad-brimmed hat and dusty field dress, alert, slender, sinewy, of only medium height and not more than twenty-five years, with a handsome, sun-tanned, smiling face, a picture of healthful, wholesome young manhood. And behind him, at the regulation distance, came what Aunt Chloe, in her "darky" dialect more than once had declared "the very spit of him"-a young trooper in similar slouch hat and dusty field dress, younger, probably, by three or four years, but to the full as alert and active, as healthful and wholesome to look at, his face now all aglow with a light that was sweet for girlish eyes to see.
The leader swung his hat and blithely shouted as he curbed his eager horse. "Howdy, Miss Dora. Bless your heart, Aunt Chloe, I knew you'd have the buttermilk ready! No, Rawdon, I shan't dismount"-this to the young "orderly," who had sprung from saddle and, with his rein over his arm, stood ready to take that of his officer. "Merciful saints! but isn't that good after thirty miles of alkali!" He had swallowed a brimming goblet of the cool, refreshing drink, and Chloe was delightedly refilling. "Father home, Miss Dora?" he went on cheerily.
"Over at the stables, Mr. Lanier," was the smiling answer. The face of the girl was sunshine and roses now, yet merely a glance or two had passed, for Trooper Rawdon had instantly swung once more into saddle and was reining back to his place.
"Stables going
"Colonel Button's always findin' some way of sendin' you in ahaid, Marse Lanier," grinned Chloe. "Ah don't wonder dey says
"You're a gossip, Auntie," laughed Lanier. "The colonel would cinch me quick as the next man if I happened to rub his fur the wrong way. One more swig now and I'm off. Tastes almost like the South again, doesn't it?"
"Lak de
"It's good all the same. Thank you, heartily, Miss Dora. You, too, Auntie. Er-Rawdon, you dismount and wait for Doctor Mayhew in case I miss him. Give him the colonel's message and say the squadron should be in by 7.30." And with that and a wave of his hand and a smiling good-night, he took the rein of the troop horse and away they sped to the stables.
Then Chloe vanished opportunely. The young trooper stood one instant looking gratefully after his officer and those curvetting steeds, eager to reach their home and supper. Dora, with glistening eyes and glowing cheeks, retreated within the shelter of the bowered porch. Then, bounding up the steps and turning with outstretched arms, thither Rawdon followed.
Ten minutes later, at swift trot, came a third horse and rider, the horse all that a cavalry horse should be in gait and build, the rider well nigh as marked in build and proportions. He, too, was well-made and muscular, though somewhat heavy and stocky; he was as soldierly, if not as young, as the two so recently there in saddle. It was the face that repelled, for it was black with wrath and suspicion. In front of the little cottage of the veterinary surgeon he hurriedly dismounted, threw the reins over the post at the horse-block, and strode, angering, through the gate. The murmur of blissful voices had ceased at first sight of him. Dora, her face paling, met him at the head of the steps.
Hardly noticing her by look or word, he brushed by, turned sharp to his left, and in an instant the two men were face to face.
"Rawdon," spoke the new-comer, his tone curt, domineering, insolent, "what do you mean by letting an officer lead your horse to stables? Go you to yours at once! Take my horse, too, and groom
Rawdon flushed to his forehead, said not a word, came forth into the light, and then turned squarely.
"My orders were from Lieutenant Lanier, sergeant, and they were distinctly to stop here."
"Go you at once and do as I say," was the instant rejoinder, and the veins in the sergeant's face were swelled almost to bursting. His eyes were fiery, his lips were quivering in his wrath.
"Indeed, Sergeant Fitzroy," began the girl rebukefully, "those were Lieutenant Lanier's orders."

MOVIES: 'Ender's Game' Gets Late 2013 Release Date
While it's no surprise that comic book adapated films will continue to be successful in the box-office, it's the novel adaptations that really win audiences over (Harry Potter and Twilight being perfect examples of this). The Hunger Games was the latest book series that got a taste of movie stardom, and Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game series is next. So when should we be expecting an Ender's Game movie? How about late 2013?
We originally reported back in November that Summit Entertainment was planning on releasing Ender's Game on March 15, 2013. Now ComingSoon reports that the studio has pushed eight months back to November 1, 2013.
The movie is currently shooting in Louisiana. Gavin Hood will direct, and the film will star Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Harrison Ford, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin and Viola Davis.
For those unfamiliar with the novel, here's a short summary from Wikipedia:
Set in Earth's future, the novel presents an imperiled humankind who have barely survived two conflicts with the Formics (an insectoid alien species also known as the "Buggers"). These aliens show an ant-like group behavior, and are very protective of their leader, much like Earth ants protecting their queen.
In preparation for an anticipated third invasion, an international fleet maintains a school to find and train future fleet commanders. The world's most talented children, including the novel's protagonist, Ender Wiggin, are taken at a very young age to a training center known as the Battle School. There, teachers train them in the arts of war through increasingly difficult games including ones undertaken in zero gravity in the Battle Room where Ender's tactical genius is revealed.
No trackbacks yet.

Do as Colvin does (Game Recap: Cubs 2, Reds 3)
Did you hear about the Cubs game? The starter posted a quality start, the bullpen gave up another run or so, and the offense was terrible. Weird, huh?
The Cubs easily should have lost yesterday's game, as their pitchers allowed 16 hits, while the offense could only manage to collect five of their own. But somehow, they found themselves down only two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, with runners on 2nd and 3rd and just one out recorded in the inning.
Red reliever Nick Masset managed to get two strikes on Tyler Colvin, the second coming on a tight curve thrown up and in that Tyler refused to swing at. But rather than go back to the off-speed out of the zone, Masset threw a 93mph sinker in the middle of the zone, which Colvin managed to rap into right to score Theriot and Castro, and tie the game.
Things would get better before they got worse: a single from Mike Fontenot in the next at-bat put runners on the corners with one out. But then, the "worse" part, as DP Lee came back from the dead to end the threat on a double play. Ihatewhenmajorleaguerscan'tscorerunnersfromthirdwithlessthantwoouts!!!!!
And then the Cubs lost. So, that's what happened!

Phoebe Cummings at Victoria and Albert Museum
In 2010, ceramic artists Phoebe Cummings did a residency at Victoria and Albert Museum in London. During those 6 months her studio space evolved as an ongoing temporary installation. From this unique space inside the collections she will be researching how nature and landscape have been represented historically through ceramic objects and interpreting elements of these designs in the construction of three-dimensional environments.
Phoebe's work is absolutely mind blowing. Using only raw clay, she created intricate other worldly environments that seemed to be alive and growing. The amount of detail down to a microscopic level is incredibly impressive.
Although her residency has ended her documentation is still online and can be viewed HERE!
It Takes Something of Extreme Beauty
to Render Me Speechless
By Dayna Spinner
In an unusual turn, I am at a loss for words. It takes something of extreme beauty to render this normally verbose girl speechless, and here is just such a series of work by artist Peter Gentenaar. But I've been struggling for descriptive language for 3 days now and for the purpose of sharing his art with you, I'll plug along and give it my best shot. The process involved in creating these stunning floating objects is pretty darn cool. He mills his own paper, using long fibers, then buttresses the paper using flexible bamboo rods. As the paper dries, it shrinks about 40%, causing the bamboo to bend and curve. While this certainly makes each finished piece a bit of a surprise, it should be noted that he has to have a deep understanding for how the bamboo will bend depending on where and how he attaches the rods to the paper, as many of these shapes are quite deliberate. OK, now that the technical reference is finished, let me just say that his works, displayed in a French abbey church and monastery in honor of the 25th edition of the festival of classical music of St. Riquier, remind me of watered silk blowing around in the wind, or drifting in underwater currents. It reminds me of the floating and twisting essence of dancers using veils. I want to stand under them and walk around them, and observe them from every possible angle. But in the end, I still feel that whatever I could say about these works is paltry at best. They really speak for themselves.

(NOTE LANGUAGE) In what Simon Cowell described as a "total f up," Wednesday's edition of The X Factor on the East Coast was delayed for about 40 minutes by a baseball game and was cut off for good later in the broadcast by an episode of The Mindy Project and more baseball.
The installment was to reveal this season's top 16. Still, East Coast fans did learn about ten acts that advanced. West Coast viewers, however, only got to see an encore presentation of last Wednesday night's show. The mess started when a rain delay forced Game Three of the National League Championship Series between the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals to run long.
Cowell tweeted an apology , along with the following comment : "It what's known as a total f up."
Fox issued a press release saying the conclusion of the "Judges' Homes" round of The X Factor will air in its entirety on Tuesday, October 23 at 8 p.m. Eastern time. The network press release states the remainder of The X Factor schedule remains intact, with the first live episodes airing on Thursday, November 1 at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
The action East Coast fans saw centered on the homes of Britney Spears , L.A. Reid and Demi Lovato , with the fate of most of their acts being revealed. Diamond White , Carly Rose Sonenclar , Arin Ray , Beatrice Miller , David Correy , Jason Brock , Tate Stevens , Vino Alan , Jenel Garcia and Willie Jones all advanced.
It was the end of the road for James Tanner , Reed Deming , Daryl Black and Tara Simon .
Here's a rundown of what the judges had to say to their acts about their performances:
Britney Spears/Teens category:
-- Diamond White – Britney loved her performance but thought she showed nerves. But she put Diamond through as one of her final four
-- Carly Rose Sonenclar – Had some stunning points in her performance with great technique but possibly lacked charisma. She advances to the live finals.
-- Arin Ray - Showed he had charisma and charm but Britney wondered if he would stand out on stage. Arin was delighted to be told that he had advanced.
-- Rapper James Tanner – Britney did not believe he had the correct technical capabilities. So, sadly, she sent James home.
-- Beatrice Miller – Her auditions were better than her "home" performance. Nevertheless, Beatrice stays in the contest.
-- Reed Deming – Gave a great performance and was fun to watch but needs vocal training. Britney sent Reed home.
L.A. Reid/Over 25s category:
-- David Correy – Had great energy and a good voice but does he fit pop-culture landscape? He made L.A.'s final four.
-- Daryl Black – Is truly talented, with an amazing voice but lacked passion, so sadly Daryl was rejected.
-- Jason Brock – Possesses a strong voice. L.A. wondered if he fit the pop market. He advances.
-- Tate Stevens – Has a "loveability" factor but need to find some confidence. However, Tate moves on in the contest.
-- Tara Simon – Is an incredible performer and is competitive. L.A. lost sleep over his decision to end her journey.
-- Vino Alan – Has a different and special voice tone but L.A. was not sure how that works in the real music world. A relived Vino advances.
Young Adults/Demi Lovato:
-- Jennel Garcia – Has an incredible voice but Demi had concerns over her confidence. Still, Jennel is in Demi's final four.
-- Willie Jones – Has an inner battle between his country and R& B voices. Still, he advances to the live rounds.
That's when the show ended.

Hey guys, at 5:30 in this video, the proximity of the acoustic is changed. When I try that there is pretty much no difference at all. Can this be better adjusted in workbench hd?

Baseball Urban Legends Revealed #34
This is the thirty-fourth in a series of examinations of baseball-related legends and whether they are true or false. Click here to view an archive of all the previous baseball legends.
Let's begin!
BASEBALL LEGEND: The film Major League originally had a dramatic twist at the end involving the team's owner.
STATUS: True
Very few movies about sports have been embraced by a sports team as much as the film Major League has been embraced by the Cleveland Indians. At the time of 1989 release of the film, the Indians were mired in one of the worst three decade patches of baseball that you could imagine. After finishing second in 1959, the Indians would not finish above third for twenty-nine of the next thirty seasons (a third place finish in 1968 would be the only break in the streak). Not only that, but when the American League went to two divisions in 1969, the Indians finished last or second-to-last in sixteen of the twenty-one seasons (up to and including 1989).
So when a film about an Indians team made up of scrappy underdogs who somehow make the playoffs after everyone counts them out, well, that's just the sort of thing a fan base loves to embrace, and embrace them they did. And when the actual Indians team started actually winning in the 1990s (including five straight division titles and a trip to the World Series in 1995 AND 1997), it was almost as if the film blessed the Indians (sort of like Jo-Bu blessing Pedro Cerrano's bat)! So even today, when the Indians are once again in pretty bad shape, you'll see promotional giveaways of Major League-related memorabilia at Indians games.
However much of a sports film classic Major League is, there's always been a pretty major plot hole in the film. First of, if Rachel Phelps (the owner of the team, who is trying to get out of her lease with the stadium so that she can move the team to Florida, so she plots to make the team so bad that it will fail to make the minimum attendance requirements within the lease) is so set against the team winning, why not just cut the good players or send them to the minors? Secondly, once it is evident that the team will meet the minimum requirements, why does Phelps (who is played by Margaret Whitton) continue to rally against the team when going to the playoffs will make her more money than not going to the playoffs?
Well, screenwriter David S. Ward had a very good explanation for that – you see, in the original script, Phelps was secretly trying to help the team!
In a scene right before the big game at the end of the film that will determine if the Indians make the playoffs, team manager Lou Brown (played beautifully by James Gammon) confronts Phelps. The team's hapless General Manager, Charlie Donovan, had secretly gone to Brown earlier in the season to reveal Phelps' plot to move the team, and Brown had used her plan to motivate the team to play even harder, and it had resulted in a sizable turnaround for the team (who was one game under .500 when Donovan told Brown of the plot).
And now, with the last game of the season ready to be played, Brown turns in his notice for his resignation after the season ends.
Phelps responds that she WANTED Donovan to tell Brown, because she knew Brown would use that information to motivate the team. Brown incredulously asks, " You tryin' to make me believe you wanted us to win all along?"
After she nods, she explains her plan:
We were broke. We couldn't afford anything better. Donald [her late husband who she inherited the team from] left the team nearly bankrupt. If we'd had another losing season, I would have had to sell the team. I knew we couldn't win with the team we had, so I decided to bring in new players and see how they'd do with the proper motivation. There was never any offer from Miami. I made it all up.
When he doubts her, she points out the plot problem I mentioned earlier, if she wanted them to lose, why not just send the best players down to the minors?
Phelps then basically reveals that she discovered "Moneyball" years before Billy Beane did, as she explains how she put the team together:
You think this was all an accident? I personally scouted every member of this team, except Hayes, of course [Willie Hayes, played by Wesley Snipes, was a walk on to the team]. He was a surprise. They all had flaws which concealed their real talent, or I wouldn't have been able to get them. But I knew if anyone could straighten them out, you could. And if you tell them any of this, I will fire you.
and as he shakes his head in disbelief, she tells him, "I love this team, Lou. Go get 'em tonight."
The scene was filmed, but test audiences reacted poorly to it. Basically, they had gotten so used to disliking her the whole movie that they were not prepared for her suddenly to be a "good guy." So the producers dropped the scene and filmed some additional scenes of Phelps reacting to the Indians' success with dismay (as naturally, they do win the division and make the playoffs).
Isn't it amazing how much that would have changed the way you watched that film?
The alternate ending is available on the Major League: Wild Thing Edition DVD. Sadly, while I was working on this legend, actor James Gammon passed away. He was an impressive actor – may he rest in peace.
BASEBALL LEGEND: Jack Doyle was the first pinch-hitter in Major League history.
STATUS: False
Jack Doyle was born in Ireland in 1869. He came over to America and attended Fordham University. He first played professional baseball in 1889 and was still involved working as a scout for the Chicago Cubs at the time of his death in 1958.
Doyle has often been credited as being the very first pinch-hitter in Major League history (heck, his page on Wikipedia still cites him as the first pinch-hitter). Part of this has to do with the fact that Doyle was always sure he was the first pinch-hitter in Major League history, and would tell anyone who cared to listen.
His story is that while playing for Cleveland in June of 1892, he was called up to hit in the ninth inning while playing Brookyn. He responded with a game-winning single.
While part of that story is untrue (Cleveland did not win the game), it IS true that he DID pinch-hit in that game. And that WAS one of the earliest examples of a player being a pinch-hitter.
However, Mickey Welch pinch-hit for the New York baseball team (before they were called the Giants) in August of 1889 (almost exactly 121 years ago to the day).
Welch MIGHT not be THE first (as perhaps there was an earlier example that has been lost to history), but he certainly was before Doyle.
BASEBALL LEGEND: As an adolescent, Mark Teixeira had an interesting way of expressing his appreciation for the band, Nirvana.
STATUS: True
This made the rounds of the internet back in June, and it is such a strange story that I figured I'd best address it here.
Mark Teixeira is the All-Star first baseman for the New York Yankees.
He was the runner-up for the 2009 American League Most Valuable Player Award.
Born in 1980, as a pre-teen, Teixeira was a major fan of the band Nirvana, and especially its lead singer, Kurt Cobain.
The young man was SO into the group that when he was 12 years old, which was right smack in the middle of that two-three year period when Nirvana was pretty much the biggest band in the world (their 1991 album, Nevermind AND their 1993 album, In Utero, both hit #1 on the charts), the young Teixeira decided to pay tribute to Kurt Cobain.
By changing his name to Kurt Teixeira.
Now, being 12 years old and all, he couldn't ACTUALLY change his name (legally, at least), but he effectively changed his name, as he began signing everything as "Kurt Teixeira."
In an interview with MLB Network's Harold Reynolds, Teixeira's mother spilled the beans. When asked about it, the first baseman replied:
I would fill out…anytime I'd fill anything out whether it was for comic books or CD clubs or anything I would write Kurt Teixeira just because I didn't know what I was doing. I was twelve years old and I was having fun with it.
The interview didn't go into how Teixeira reacted when Cobain killed himself in 1994. I imagine he did not take it too well.
Thanks to Harold Reynolds for getting the info, Margy Canterna Teixeira for spilling the beans about her son and Mark Teixeria for confirming it.
Okay, that's it for this week!
Feel free (heck, I implore you!) to write in with your suggestions for future installments! My e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com

Israel's Election Committee Chairperson, Judge Eliyakim Rubenstein, has banned a campaign ad of the National Democratic Assembly (NDA) for mocking Hatikva, the national anthem. Watch it here.
About the banned ad, which was to be heard on Israeli radio from Tuesday, Judge Rubenstein said that "from listening to the radio broadcast of the NDA I learned that it broadcasts Hativka in a distorted manner thar ridicules Hatikva, the anthem of the state of Israel. This is not acceptable to me as part of election campaigning."
The National Democratic Assembly responded that this decision is a continuation of the policy to silence and frighten its constituency.
See the ad below. In the beginning and prior to the singing, Foreign Minister Lieberman is heard saying that "I've already tried to pass a law conditioning receipt of an identity card with a statement of loyalty to the singing of Hativka. In the next Knesset I will again attempt to pass this legislation. But now I've reached the conclusion that the anthem should be made suitable for the Arab population, so they can identify with it." Following the singing, the ad asks "funny? the situation is really not funny. These laws must be opposed. We must not leave the arena to them. This is the time for the NDA."

Speed Graphic
The Most Popular Speed Graphic
Speed Graphic Camera is an excellent American made hand-crafted wood camera. It was also well known as a Press Camera after the war.
There were two models of Pacemaker.The Speed Graphic kept a traditional but newly designed focal plane shutter with a mechanism that was simple but able to get very accurate shutter speeds.The shutter table of the old cameras with 24 speeds was changed to 6 speeds in the modern camera.
A compact model, the Crown Graphic without the traditional focal plane shutter appeared in 1947 while the Speed Graphic with more versatility carried on as before in the Pacemaker model.
Crown Graphic had a Graflock Back, which would become the International Standard as the 4x5" camera's rear back.
In addition, the compact model 2x3 Century Graphic was introduced in 1949. It was a lightweight model with a body made of molded plastics keeping the same function as 2x3 Crown Graphic with a 2x3 Graflock back which would become World Standard for 6x9cm camera backs later. All models products of Graphics were changed to Graflock Back for standard from this year(1949).
Speed Graphic Synchro Terminal
The Synchro Terminal was attached to the focal plane shutter plate. The Exchange cord for standard terminals is convenient for the use of various flash guns.
Speed Graphic and Interchangeable Lenses|
To take a photo today by Speed or Super Graphic, it more better that we have a set of large format lenses like Tele, Wide, Soft or so on. There are many large format lenses in the world, but most are quite expensive.
Yamasaki Optical Co. Ltd manufacture a full line of large format lenses named the CONGO series. The company has a seventy years old history. CONGO series all have fine specifications and reasonable prices. The company sels only direct to the user. It is possible to use even a 400mm Tele type lens on the 4x5 Graphic bodies because of the short flange back and compactness. Why not check them out? You are also able to enjoy using old lenses by focal palne shutter.

The lens I usually use is Schneider Angulon 90mmF6.8 for a Range Finder shots for 4x5 Speed Graphic. It is wide angle for 4x5inch and normal angle for the 6x9cm shots. It is possible to change the unique interchangeable Cam in order to use of RF for various lenses. This is only for the latest 4x5 models, which was called "Top Range finder".
I also enjoy VERITO 83/4" F4 with Top Range finder model, too. I am enjoying taking 6x9 shots, making an attachment of Patent Rolex film holder(6x9) for my 3x4 Speed, as the 3x4 sheet film is no longer supplied.

Everybody Poops
Rebecca of Main St. Diaries is experiencing diaper and poop overload.
I am so, so sick of diapers. Our baby Dawson is about 18 months (or
something like that, I don't know. Once I had two, I just stopped
keeping track) and Liam is just over 3 and I feel like all I do
is change diapers and wipe butts. Tonight, I was rinsing out a diaper
once again, and I just thought, I can't believe the amount of fecal
matter I have to deal with around here.
We did cloth diapers for two years with Liam, then chlorine-free disposables, and while I've read all the arguments about disposables not being as bad for the environment as it seems like they would be, I just keep thinking about all those plastic diapers, piling up, millions of them, never biodegrading. Where do they go? They never, ever break down. They just sit in a landfill somewhere, accumulating, until we dump them into the sea, and become part of that huge 150 mile wide cloud of bits of plastic that's choking sea life. Recently, we found G-diapers (reusable cloth diaper covers with flushable liners) which I think are brilliant and are relatively easy to use, but it still means I'm spending a fair amount of time rinsing poop off of things.
Mostly, though, I am sick of seeing people on the toilet. We have been working on potty training my oldest son Liam and have gotten to this point where the bathroom door is always open because I read in a book somewhere that's what you should do to make the child feel like using the toilet is natural and normal. A few nights ago Liam and Tommy (my husband) were sitting on their respective toilets, with the doors open, and I was trying to clean the kitchen which is right next to the bathroom. This is the conversation that went on:
Digusting noise.
Tommy: "Oh my goodness. What was that noise?"
Liam: "That was just my bum making a silly sound."
Liam: "Poop is coming!"
Tommy: "Hooray! Daddy's pooping too!"
More disgusting sounds.
Liam: "Does Mommy want to see my poop?"
Me: "NO!"
Liam: "Do you want to see my poop, Daddy?"
Tommy: "Sure. Do you want to see my poop?"
Me: "THAT IS ENOUGH!"
Bathroom door is forcibly shut.
Liam: "Is Mommy happy?"
Well. That's a question for the ages, isn't it?
A day or two later I was trying to get both of the boys out the door and to daycare, and I was putting sunscreen on Dawson (who is remarkably loud and was shrieking as if I was rubbing him with poison ivy) when I saw Liam headed out the door with his potty. I said, "What on God's green earth are you doing?" and he said, "I going outside to poop." I said, "No. NO! You may not poop outside. We go inside in this family." And Liam said, "But I like pooping outside. I can hear the birds."
Sometimes I think the best and worst thing about having children is that you often get what you ask for. Did I not want to raise a child who loves and respects nature? Did I not want to raise a kid who is comfortable with his own body? On the one hand, I'm thrilled that he wants to listen to songbirds. On the other hand, we live on Main Street in a small town and both of the children are total nudists to begin with. So I'm glad the boy likes the birds. I'm glad everyone in my house is comfortable with going to the bathroom. But the potty stays inside. It doesn't seem like too much to ask.
All that said, at least he took his potty with him.
