Greetings Having just purchased my first DSLR camera (Canon 600D) due to numerous limitations with my compact, I wonder if someone would be kind enough to give me the basics for taking pictures at an art exhibition (which usually stipulates no flash).
I only have the 18-55 IS lens and the 50mm 1.8 fixed. Would either of those do? And what are the best camera settings for this subject, or should I set to automatic and hope for the best? I won't be able to read and grasp the whole manual before I go so just looking for some basic guidance please
One of the pieces is set in a darkened room, so how can I get beautiful, crisp images of that (the piece I refer to is Damien Hirst's - For the Love of God)?
Oh and are there any tips for avoiding reflection on pieces encased in glass - of which there are quite a few?
Thank you kindly

Hmmmm… I am beginning to think my theme for this year's MoFo should have been the alphabet. You know, "B" is for Brunch, "P" is for Pasta, "F" is for Frites, etc… Maybe I will still attempt that but jumble up the alphabet since I didn't start with "A". We'll see!
Anyways, I recently purchased The Urban Vegan cookbook by Dynise Balcavage and have already bookmarked lots of recipes for the upcoming weeks. I love how the sophisticated and stylish recipes are organized into clever little chapters such as: Lunch Cart, The Melting Pot, House Party, and Happy Hour. Plenty of the recipes have international flair which I appreciate since I don't get to travel as often as I'd like. Plus, there are fun tips and variations on recipes throughout the book so even the same recipe can be mixed-up a bit the second time around. Last night, Tim and I came home from grocery shopping exhausted and hungry so we checked our meal list for a speedy recipe and noticed one from The Urban Vegan: Orecchiette Con Broccoli; inexpensive, fast, and delicious. We couldn't find the above-named pasta so we used a tri-colored squiggly pasta instead. Topped with some freshly ground chipotle pepper flakes and homemade cashew cheese crumbles, this meal was light, filling, and just perfect for our Tuesday evening.
If you don't have this cookbook, you probably should – one more on the shelf won't hurt!!!
And, don't forget to enter my giveaway!!!!

Cadel Evans conceded time on Saturday's mountain-top finish, but not enough for the BMC Racing Team rider to lose his grip on second place overall at the Critérium du Dauphiné.
Penultimate Stage
Evans lost contact with race leader's Bradley Wiggins' group inside the final five kilometers as Joaquin Rodriguez (Katusha) soloed to win the 192.5-kilometer race. Evans finished ninth, 1:09 behind Rodriguez and 15 seconds behind Wiggins. In the overall standings, Evans trails Wiggins (Sky Pro Cycling) by 1:26 and is 26 seconds ahead of third-placed Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana) as the race concludes Sunday with a third straight mountain-top finish. "It was not an easy day," BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said. "But Cadel was fighting hard to keep every second and that was good. Tomorrow is another hard stage and we are still on the podium."
Tour de Suisse, Stage 1: Frank 24th In Time Trial
Lugano, Switzerland – Mathias Frank clocked the best time for the BMC Racing Team in the 7.3-kilometer individual time trial that opened the Tour de Suisse Saturday. Frank was 24th, 31 seconds behind winner Fabian Cancellara (Team Leopard Trek).

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 1, 2009) ― The Race Track Chaplaincy of America (RTCA) today announced that August 31, 2009, is the nominations deadline for the 2009 White Horse Award, which recognizes a racing-related heroic act on behalf of human or horse.
Bestowed annually since 2003, the White Horse Award will be presented at the White Horse Award Luncheon on November 5, 2009, at Santa Anita Park, the day before the start of the Breeders' Cup World Championships.
The White Horse Fellowship, which selects the winner, is composed of members of the horse racing industry and corporate partners who support the White Horse Award Program. Each believes in the RTCA mission and have decided to take a leadership roll in not only serving those workers, but honoring one individual or group annually who answers the call to go above and beyond.
"I think it's God's plan that every day someone does something heroic on a certain level," said Pat Day, who co-hosted the awards ceremony in 2008, at which the group of horsemen who rescued 19 horses from the tragic barn fire in Vinton, La., last summer were honored. "The White Horse Award is a special way to recognize those in the horse racing industry who go the extra mile to follow His plan."
The White Horse Award winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize, a limited-edition White Horse bronze statue by noted sculptress Lisa Perry, and a trip for two to the Breeders' Cup. Two runners-up will receive $1,000 each and a plaque recognizing their heroic effort.
Nominations will be accepted for heroic acts that have happened since August 1, 2008, and prior nominees are not eligible. The nominator must provide contact information for the nominee and a detailed description of the heroic act. Newspaper articles, eyewitness accounts, video and any other supporting information are encouraged. Nominations should be submitted by August 31, 2009, to the RTCA at (310) 419-1640, email@example.com or PO Box 91640, Los Angeles, CA 90009. More information is available at www.racetrackchaplaincy.org.
Founded in Florida in 1971 and headquartered at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif., RTCA is a 501©(3) organization whose 77 chaplains minister to the spiritual, physical, emotional, social and educational needs of the horse racing industry at more than 120 racetracks throughout the world. For more information, contact RTCA Executive Director Dr. Enrique Torres at (310) 419-1640 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

No, that isn't quite right. A few years back, I dug out my old Winchester .22 pump and with a few Boy Scouts fired several rounds on a target range. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
I blamed it on the rifle. It's getting old. My father bought it new for $25 when he was a Boy Scout back in 1920. I reasoned that because of age, it simply doesn't shoot straight anymore, so I put it away and haven't so much as picked it up since.
I grew up in the Midwest with that rifle, as well as a shotgun received on my 14th birthday. Went pheasant hunting a few times with that shotgun, but never ruffled a feather, let alone bagged a bird.
So I can't say with any seriousness that I grew up with guns. In fact, I've never fired a handgun.
Thus, to me, this national firearm debate that has again raised its ugly head has no answer. The experts say Americans own 300 million firearms, an average of nearly one weapon per man, woman or child. Some have none. Some have many.
I see no compelling reason for any private citizen to own a rapid-fire weapon, the type used in despicable mass killings, and yet making said weapons illegal to own isn't going to get even a good percentage of them off the street. And with so many weapons already out there, restricting further sales is unlikely to stop senseless tragedies, such as Newtown.
I was recently asked if I have ever been acquainted with a young person who had such serious psychotic problems that he could perpetrate a similar disaster. I must admit that I have, and getting that person the professional help that was needed was no easy task. Antisocial behavior, I quickly learned, often runs in families, and without family support, professional diagnosis and treatment is darn near impossible.
No one wants to admit a son or daughter is a social outcast, and yet the similarity between the antisocial mass murders at Newtown, Columbine, the Aurora theater and elsewhere is eerie.
"Why didn't we see that coming?" usually pops up in the aftermath.
And that's where I think the answer lies. We need to see it coming. Those "odd" youngsters who don't seem to fit into society should be the focus of our attention. They need the help.
A start, I believe, would be to clean up the violent video games and bloody shootouts on TV and the silver screen. There, the killing is painless and so far from reality that such scenes easily mess with the confused minds of those few who commit social tragedies.
It would be far easier to clean up that "entertainment" than to engage in a lengthy battle over the Second Amendment.
Those 90-plusers
The Patterson area lost a couple of its longtime residents last week, with the deaths of Belmira Rose, who would soon have turned 99, and Stan Cox, 93. "Bee" moved here with her family when she was 11 months old, while Stan was a true native and a member of the pioneer Cox family.
That leaves 66 on our 90-plus list, which had grown to a record high in recent months. The full list follows. (Anyone having names to add should give me a call.)
Lee Aiello, Margaret Alberta, Marie Archer, John V. Azevedo, Joyce Barfuss, Rose Beltran, Vera Bettencourt, Winnie Bronzan, Wayne Brooks, Emil Burch, Aileen Cabral (101), Antoinette Carcello, Marcel Chapuis, Lena Cirrincione, Florence Perry Cogswell (100), Grace Cox, Bertha Criswell (103), Sylvia Dennis, Nadine Dompe, Thelma Fitzsimmons, Agnese Friedrich, Aurora Garcia, Anita Garza, Nita Goetz, Raymond Graff, Esther Hamilton, Dora Gustafson Hauert, Eleanor Holtzman, Violet Housewright, Wayne Johnson, Geneva Kazda, Velma Klein, Evelyn Kolding, Laurence Kolding, Kay Krause, Lucille Kvech, Helen Maring (102), Bessie Martin, Jack McConnell, Ruby McNutt, Ruby Miller, Nelda Schut Mitchell, Adelina Montoya, Bonnie Nordell, Ken Nordell, Josefa Esquivel Ochoa, Luis Ochoa Puga, Victoria Orozco, Tex Pace, Manuel Paiva, Geraldine Parker, Dorothy Reis, MaeBelle Rogers, Evelyn Rusk (102), Emmy Lou Schroeder, Rosa Stehli, Jack Tabar, Mary Tosti, Justin A.

Class come to order
Fast Talk this week continues its educational offerings for those readers willing to expand their minds. Here are circumstances to seriously ponder:
•Only in this stupid world do people order a double cheeseburger, large fries and a diet Coke.
•Only in this stupid world do people park cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and fill their garages with useless junk.
•Only in this stupid world do drive-up ATM machines offer instructions in Braille.
For the sports fan
It makes you wonder just how many people could spell and pronounce Kaepernick just 10 weeks ago.
And didn't I tell you both Patterson High basketball teams were on a roll? Check the league standings.
And finally…
The next time you feel yourself in a squeeze, caught between a rock and a hard place, just consider the plight of Jack Harbaugh, whose sons this Sunday will be dueling from 60 yards away.

While I am certainly not in the market to buy a Sony NEX-7, the comparative reviews by sister publications WDC and AP might have prospective buyers confused - though the AP review was rounded upon for indicating the NEX-7 utilized sensor-based IS.
The two reviews show certain discrepancies:
According to AP the battery life was astonishing >800 shots per charge, yet WDC found different at only 355?
The biggest discrepancy between the reviews though is in AF performance; this is considering the NEX-7 ports the same sensor as the A77 but without the separate phase-detect focusing sensor - to be implemented via a forthcoming lens adaptor? According to November's AP review the NEX-7 AF was superior to the latest offerings by Nikon, Olympus and Panasonic (with their on-sensor phase detect or fast refresh contrast detect systems) respectively, and that in low light the NEX-7 was far superior to these. Fast forward to the January issue of WDC and the NEX-7 AF isn't as fast or accurate as the above comparison cameras/systems and suffers more in low light - huh?
Aspects of the two reviews indicate rather different cameras; was one a preview model and one a production model, or were the firmware versions different?

Carpal tunnel biopsy is a test in which a small piece of tissue is removed from the carpal tunnel (part of the wrist).
Biopsy - carpal tunnel
The skin of your wrist is scrubbed and injected with medicine that numbs the area. Through a small cut, a sample of tissue is removed from the carpal tunnel. This is done by direct removal of tissue or by needle aspiration
Sometimes this procedure is performed at the time of carpal tunnel release
Your doctor or nurse may ask that you not eat anything for a few hours before the test.
You may feel some stinging or burning when the numbing medicine is injected. You may also feel some pressure or tugging during the procedure. Afterward, the area may be tender or sore for a few days.
This test is usually done to see if you have a condition called amyloidosis
. It is not usually done to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome.
No abnormal tissues are found.
An abnormal result is a sign of amyloidosis.
If the carpal tunnel biopsy reveals a problem, your health care provider may suggest a carpal tunnel release procedure. Additional surgery to correct or improve the problem may be recommended.
