Can you tell me something about your experiences with the sony f828, and specifically regarding the purple fringing.
Is it really a big issue or did you encounter it just in a few cases ?
The Sony is in my opinion a very good camera. My reasons for the purchase of this camera was the lens and the sensor. I love Zeiss (possibly the best lens company) and Sony makes the sensor used in many of the other competitors cameras. The purple fringing I have seen in my photos, only a few out of about 3000 shots, Not really a big issue. In the average picture, only a few pixels affected.
To me a bigger issue, and maybe the main issue between Digicam and Digital SLR is shutter lag. Appearantly the DSLR is just like a film camera with no shutter lag, while the Digicam has a fraction of a second lag. Requiring anticipation to catch action at its peak.
The Sony has a 28 - 200 MM manual zoom which covers most situations. Also has Macro function for closeup. All in all a good camera if you don't have a Nikon or Canon with an investment in lenses.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']The 300D is a "half-frame" sensor camera and when you use a standard "full-frame" lens area outside the center of the image circle is cropped out. Because of this lenses function as if they were longer than they would on a full-frame camera.
I believe the 300D has a 1.5 'crop factor', a 200 mm lens is going to function like a 300 mm lens. To get a 28-200 coverage you would need a 19-133 mm lens. I don't think you're going to find one.
The best bet to cover your range would be to buy the 300D kit and use the kit lens to cover the lower end and add a Canon 28-135 IS for the upper end. This would give you image stabilization for the upper end but not the wide angle work.
If you're in the US the kit can be purchased for about $810. The 28-135 IS for about $400. (Check

[font color=\'#000000\']I do that whenever I can, but more often than not I'm struggling to get enough dynamic range out of the camera and don't have the luxury. It's nice to be able to expose to the right, but it's a worse problem to blow out the highlights to pure white (which you can't fix later). I find I'm often underexposing the landscape slightly in order to avoid blowing out the sky, and then using Curves in PS to get all the parts of the picture back where I want them brightness-wise.[/font]
[font color=\'#000000\']That's bad logic. High dynamic range situations are where "exposing to the right" is the most critical, because not doing so means you are using less of the available dynamic range if the sensor and capturing less of the scene. What you must do is establish the relationship between the camera histogram and the RAW data. The histogram is based on the camera's JPEG conversion of the RAW data, which typically throws away 1-2 stops of the sensor's range. THis means that the point at which clipping occurs in the converted JPEG is NOT the same as the point at which the RAW data clips. With my 1Ds and 1D-MkII, there is just under a stop between the RAW and the JPEG clip points, but on my 10D, they are practically identical. Set up a test scene with white and an assortment of saturated colors, and shoot it in 1/3 stop exposure increments starting 1 stop below the point at which the image data touches the right edge of the histogram, and go up 2 stops from there. Shoot RAW & JPEG. Compare the exposure settings of the first clipped RAW to the first clipped JPEG. Knowing the interval between those exposure settings is extremely important when trying to decide what exposure setting to use to capture every last pissible bit of dynamic range.
With shooting RAW with my Canon 1 bodies, I know that I can jam the histogram right up against the right edge, and as long as I have only a few pixels of blinking highlights, I have nothing to worry about when processing the RAW. I know exactly how far I can push exposure without clipping, and I customarily do so. And I very rarely blow highlights. The key is to be able to look at the histogram and know EXACTLY how far you can push the exposure before you blow anything important. Knowing that will make your images less noisy and much easier to post-process.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']As I don't always know what "exposing to the right" or "ACR" means, these things make it more difficult for me.[/font]
[font color=\'#000000\']Exposing to the right:
Exposing in such a way that the image data in the camera's histogram comes close to, but does not quite touch the right edge of the histogram display.

[font color=\'#000000\']Hey,
I'm an amateur and looking to get into the field of photography. I don't know much (yet) about photography but I have a good eye for pretty pictures. I also have a lot of experience in graphics in general.
I'm looking for a good 8 megapixel camera and wonder if somebody can assist me.
I'd like to use the camera mainly for nature and landscape photography but also want it to be a good camera for general purposes. I want a wide angle and a tele. The camera has to be quite responsive. I'll go for a compact camera because it has a greater depth of field.
I have my eye on a Sony F828 or a Canon Powershot Pro1.
I'm not really certain which to choose.
I'm always liked Canon in general yet the Sony F828 has a really nice feel to it. Only the Sony has considerable problems with purple fringing.
I'm really into classic pictures with the sun rising or going down in the sea. Yet, I don't have the experience to tell that in that situation I will experience a lot of purple fringing problems. I also like "tree" pictures (where I know I will have problems with fringing).
I also liked the design of the Sony F828 where you can turn the body relative to the lens. Yet, I wonder whether you can use that feature while taking pictures outdoors (in the sun). Which is the better one : an LCD you can twist and turn (like the Canon) or a body you can turn. A which will suffer most from bad visiblity in the sun ?
Thx in advance.[/font]

Lisa, I'm considering what you said. I think you are right.
yet, I want one camera with which I can do almost everything. I'll never be like a real pro running around with a bag full of lenses. I still like to be able "to enjoy holidays in a normal fashion" without having to drag this along the whole day.
Also, there is some neat noise reduction software (e.g. neat image) out there.
I'm more concerned about purple fringing as it is more difficult to remove without altering the feel of your image.
But I'm still considering what you said...

[font color=\'#000000\']i don't own any of the cameras that you are looking at, but i have been thinking about purchasing an 8mp digicam. there are a couple things that haven't been mentioned in this thread so far, that are important to me. whether they're important to you, only you will know!
the canon pro1 has an electronic zoom, versus the sony's f828 manual zoom ring. i much prefer a manual zoom for precise framing.
canon's battery has a life of 2 hrs 36 mins (the worst of the 8mp gang) on dpreview's test. sony's battery 5 hrs 28 mins (the best of the bunch). this matters to me since i am often photographing in remote places; global and backcountry travel, etc.
the pro1 can shoot continuosly in raw for about 4 frames at about a rate of a frame a second before freezing up, where as the sony can only take one shot in raw and then has to wait 10-15 seconds or so before it can shoot again (it has a tiny buffer). if you shoot in jpeg, both if these cameras would be suitable for high speed shooting. the canon has the edge if you shoot in raw (which i do).
to me, the minolta dimage a2 seems to suit my needs the best. manual zoom ring, decent battery life (second only to the sony), and can shoot continously in raw acceptably quick. it also has image stabilization.
i have a dslr, and when i first saw the 8mp cameras, i couldn't believe how small they are. much much smaller than any dslr. especially considering the range of zoom they have. just my 2 cents, hope it helps at all.

[font color=\'#000000\']Well, as it stands now - for me - both Canon Pro 1 and Sony 828 are out of the race. (the EOS-1D Mark II is out of my league).
I'm swifting between the minolta A2 and a DSLR camera.
Would any of you pro's know how much a Canon EOS 300D body with a 28-200 mm lens would cost (approximately)?
I can get the body seperately right ? And I can fit a 28-200 mm lens right ?
Thanks for the advice guys

[font color=\'#000000\']Stef,
I would not get too caught up in one camera over another. Photography is about you, your subject and light.
The principles of photography are transparent to ALL areas and equipment in photography.
My recommendation would be to get a reasonable camera, and spend the rest on books to look at, read and study. Second, I would recommend a workshop or two. Not a class but a workshop where you do much more field work that is hands on.
Then, just go out and photograph and photography. Have fun with it and experiment. From a professional point of view I look at it as a practice that is alway honed and evolved. From a hobbyiest standpoint, I look at it as a release a time to relax and enjoy the world around me.
You can and will make some incredibly good and horrible photographs with the best cameras and the worst cameras. What you are looking for is a versatile tool that will help you expand on your creativity.
Each camera out there has its own charectristics, and you must learn their strengths and weaknesses. No one camera has it all. I still shoot manual on my Canon 8mp, as I do with my 10D, my Leica III, my horseman field camera, and my Mamiya RZ cameras.
Good luck.[/font]
Great images continue to exist even if there where only Holgas.

This is the only thing I deplore and what could keep me from buying it. So, I wonder whether the experienced photographer
that you are, could give me some pointers regarding how to deal with that in a professional way.
You flatter me! I'm just a girl taking vacation photos who switched from negative film to digital capture a few months ago. But I've been learning...
The only thing though : the D70 seems to take pictures that are quite cold, poorly saturated and a tad underexposed.
I like the sample images for the eos 300d a lot better.
I'm afraid we're using our camera in different ways, it sounds like. I shoot RAW plus JPG, and, for The Good Ones, convert from RAW using ACR, adjusting as optimal for each image (which takes less than a minute, typically). The JPGs I use only for noncritical uses when I want a "90% there" quicky image without any work, but don't care too much exactly what it looks like. If you don't want to use RAW, though, then I'm not sure what to tell you other than to play with the camera's settings like you've already done.
Yeah, I've noticed that the default settings give you slightly blue (cold) photos - easy to get rid of by adjusting the white balance a little in ACR, but that doesn't help if you don't use ACR.
It's funny - coming from negative film, I find the default saturation settings on the D70 look *quite* saturated to me! It all depends what you're comparing too. (I could also rant for awhile about the current fad for velvia-esque over-saturated photos, but I'll spare you :O )
Regarding your underexposure comment: The appropriate exposure compensation also depends on what you're typically photographing. I find that I'm often dialing in *negative* exposure compensation to avoiding blowing out highlights. That's where RAW comes in really handy - when you're photographing dark forests with patches of bright sky (for example), you can't get a good exposure on the trees without blowing out the sky unless you intentionally underexpose and then adjust things in ACR to get both the shadows and highlights where you want them. I simply wouldn't be able to shoot those images if I only used JPG.
Also I don't think that will fix the problem when I'm shooting RAW.
I'm not sure I completely understand this comment. If you're talking about the cold look, undersaturation, and exposure issues, you most definitely CAN fix them all using RAW and a decent RAW converter (like ACR or C1), for less than a minute an image. You have a *lot* of leeway in all these adjustments (and more) in the converter. However, if it's just a matter of not wanting to spend the time converting RAW files and instead getting images straight out of the camera (which I can understand, though it's not the path I've taken myself), then you might be happier with another camera that gives you JPGs you prefer. If you only want JPG, then it sounds like you've already tried everything in-camera you can.
Sorry about the long rambling comments! Hopefully you found something useful in here.

[font color=\'#000000\']Jonathan -
Actually, what you describe is pretty much what I do, except that with practice I've developed a pretty good feel for how much I can appear to blow out the JPG highlights on the camera's screen and still not blow them out in RAW, rather than having done rigorous testing like you suggest. I could have gone into more detail on that in my post, but decided it was long enough as it is :: and probably beyond what Stefan needs right now. I agree, though, it's good advice.

I recommend reading the many useful articles by M.R. on this site. There's lots of great information here that will teach you how to take better photos and make them better still in post-processing, and then you'll understand most of the terms like "expose to the right" that we've been using. I certainly learned a lot here...

[font color=\'#000000\']One more question one needs to ask is: How large do you want to be able to print? If you're intending to just post to the web or do small snapshot-style prints, the 8 mp digicams are fine. However, if you want to be able to do larger prints (I do 12"x18", for example), then, especially in low-light situations like forests and sunrises/sunsets, you should also consider an entry-level digital SLR. DSLRs use larger sensors than digicams, which means less digital noise in the final photo (which is more of a problem in low-light situations). If you enlarge digicam photos, you'll see a lot more noise problems than if you enlarge a DSLR photo. The entry-level ones (Nikon D70, Canon Digital Rebel) are in the same general price range as the 8 mp digicams; they're 6 mp, but, in my opinion, the noise problem is far more significant than the slight difference in number of pixels; I get fine 12x18 prints from my D70.

[font color=\'#000000\']I have to agree with the recommendation for a dSLR. If you get a "kit" zoom lens, you will have the coverage you want without changing lenses.
BTW - I own both, a dSLR and an 8MP digicam.

[font color=\'#000000\']I have the Sony as well as the Minolta A2. The Zeiss lens is OK, but I don't think its anything special. I personally prefer the a2, mainly because of the the compact size, the anti shake system, as well as the auto switching between the LCD and EVF.
The sony feels more solid, and is very comfortable to hold if you are used to holding 35mm SLR/DSLR cameras. The zoom is much smoother, but both have manual zoom, which is far superior to the electrical zoom of the other 3 8mp digicams.
Of course if you want a real 8mp camera, we've just finished testing the Canon 1D Mark II ... what a fantastic camera.
Michaels reviews on the 5 8mp digicams are very good.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']In the rarified air of pure speculation, what do you folks feel the odds are that Canon will upgrade the 10D with the 8meg sensor from the 1D Mark II in the next 6month or so (and at a greatly reduced price compared to the Mark II)? I've been thinking about the 10D for some time but don't really like the 1.6 crop-- but feel the 1.3 crop might work out OK for me. And - the 8meg sensor just might add a small bit to image quality over the 10D.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Hey Lisa,
I certainly did find usefull stuff in there (as always).
You're really a bright girl.
I also liked you're cake-comment on the pretty pictures discussion some time ago. You nailed it there.
Well, the piece of crap i'm shooting with now (it doesn't even
focus correctly anymore) can't deal with RAW, so actually I've never had the chance to work with RAW.
So thanks about filling me in about the possible uses.
I'll certainly give it a try.
I guess ACR is Adobe Camera Raw ?
You also said something about under and overexposing in RAW. Something I read in an article on this site might interest you.
It suggested that you should always take care that the highlights in the histogram are always nicely filled (which might not be the case if you're underexposing).
The reason is not photographical in nature but technical.
That is : most of the file is used to encode the highlights.
Not using that portion of the file/histogram will result in bad usage of the digital encoding and will lead to loss of details.
If you overexpose to see to it that you in fact use that portion of the histogram you can fix it afterwards in a RAW converter. But in that way all the details are there.
Might be uselfull

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Evan Longoria delivered the go-ahead RBI single as part of a three-run 10th inning and the Tampa Bay Rays took the first of a three-game set with a 7-4 win over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.
Ben Zobrist doubled down the left field line to lead off the extra frame, bringing up Longoria, who lofted the decisive single to center.
Kelly Johnson also homered in the tenth off Matt Belisle (1-2), Zobrist doubled twice and Jose Lobaton went 3-for-5 with two runs scored as Tampa Bay snapped a two-game skid.
Six Rays relievers combined to strike out nine while holding the Rockies scoreless in the final five innings. Kyle Farnsworth (1-0) picked up his first win of the year while Fernando Rodney earned his fourth save. Matt Moore started and was lifted after allowing four runs on seven hits in five innings.
Michael Cuddyer and Josh Rutledge each hit homers for Colorado in the first and second innings, respectively, while Nolan Arenado went 3-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI.
Trailing 3-0 after two innings, Tampa got two back in the top of the third. Lobaton led off with a single and after consecutive groundouts, Ryan Roberts and Zobrist cranked back-to-back RBI doubles.
Desmond Jennings put the Rays ahead, 4-3, in the top of the fifth with his fourth long ball of the season, a two-run job off Rockies starter Jeff Francis, who allowed four runs in five innings of work.
Colorado tied things at 4-4 in the bottom of the fifth. After Cuddyer led off with a walk and advanced to second on Wilin Rosario's groundout, Arenado ripped an RBI double to deep center field.
The Rockies threatened again in the bottom of the eighth off Rays reliever Jake McGee. McGee struck out Arenado but surrendered singles to Rutledge and Jonathan Herrera and intentionally walked pinch-hitter Troy Tulowitzki before giving way to Brandon Gomes, who struck out Jordan Pacheco to end the threat.
Tulowitzki did not start with what the Rockies are calling "heavy legs." He is
expected back in the lineup Saturday ... Dexter Fowler extended his hitting
streak to major league best 11 games before exiting with a hip injury in the
fifth inning ... Colorado hit 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven't been burned as witches since 1727, life isn't exactly a stroll down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about babies? And do men secretly hate them?
Caitlin Moran interweaves provocative observations on women's lives with laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her own, from the riot of adolescence to her development as a writer, wife, and mother. With rapier wit, Moran slices right to the truth - whether it's about the workplace, strip clubs, love, fat, abortion, popular entertainment, or children - to jump-start a new conversation about feminism. With humor, insight, and verve, How To Be a Woman lays bare the reasons why female rights and empowerment are essential issues not only for women today but also for society itself.

Usually I can't get through a book of comical columns. This is the rare exception. Caitlin touches on EVERYTHING a woman has ever grappled with, but rarely will bring up, even to her best friend. With every topic, with relentless British humor, she brings you to a place of seeing the most common of things totally differently. From Brazilian waxes to high heels to childbirth to one of the funniest, most astute pieces on relationships I've ever read, she irreverently tears the conventional, cultural norms to shreds and offers up a lucid, common sense look at things we too often inanely follow like lemmings.
While walking along the Pacific, listening to How To Be A Woman, a friend rode up on her bike. She's the same age as me, 59, has a successful business and who ran so much, prepping for a marathon to impress her kids, that she got plantar fasciitis. That was two months ago and she can still not walk far, never mind run. She breathlessly, sweating profusely, related how she goes to spin class three times a week, swims every day she can, and bikes umpteen miles to LOSE WEIGHT. This woman was, before she stated all this marathon training, MUCH THINNER THAN ME (and I'm a person whom no one considers fat, ok, except me,) and married to a guy who adores her no matter what she weighs. Having been quite happy race walking in the sunshine by the sea, I would have instantly switched to feeling like a clumsy elephant if it weren't for this book, to which I was listening. Caitlin is my heroine. She brings the insanity women just take for granted front and center and kept making me say to myself, "Well, of course!"
This book also provoked numerous discussions with friends and family; the most amazing conversations about subjects we'd never touched before. This is such a mind opening book, so informative, while causing one to constantly laugh out loud (which is no simple feat for a book.)
The first chapter is deceptive and Caitlin, stand up comedian she is, can be a bit loud. But stick with it, please, and then laugh your head off and, if you're a woman, be prepared to feel far more secure in your own sneakers than you did at the start. If you're a man, be prepared to actually start to understand those female enigmas around you. And no matter who you are, you will, without a doubt, look at everything around you in a whole new light.
"Listend twice I loved so much"
This is a must read for every woman out there. I think it would help many a girl to relax and not take them selves so seriously.
Caitlin lays it on the line just how crazy the world has become and what we woman do to try and fit in as normal.
I have already listened to this book twice since I got it in January and I am sure will pull it out every couple of years to listen again to help remind me that I don't have to fit into what the world calls norm to be a women. I am a woman 100% no matter how little or how much effort I put into my appearance and if others don't like it then who cares.
"Everything Feminism Should Be"
Smart, confident, funny and well-crafted. Moran pulls no punches when discussing the hardest choices women make, everything from abortion to what to call one's private parts. The modern handbook for feminsim.
I am a clay sculptor and an art instructor at a community college. I mostly listen to audiobooks while I work in my home studio.
"I wanted to like this more than I did"
After the first half hour I really wanted to like this a lot. I was ready for a rockin' hilarious feminist jaunt. It almost was, I guess.
Some parts were really funny. I generally agree with Moran about life and stuff. I'm not a big fan of listening to lots of graphic talk about masturbation and the first two or three chapters felt like a forever of, well, I don't know if Audible edits language in these reviews, so I'll leave the actual words unsaid.
General warning for listeners: NSFW or for listening around kids.
I certainly liked Moran more as a mom than as a teenager in this book. I'd be curious to know more about her working life between those two stages. I think her other book or books might focus more on that time in her life.
"Hopeful, hilarious look at feminism and femininity"
This has been my favorite audiobook. Caitlin's delivery makes her words that much more relatable and funny. There were many times I didn't want to leave the car.
I've read many feminist texts, but this is the first that actually gave me hope about the fate of feminism and women in general. She balances the hysterical with the poignant and moving, and makes some truly excellent points in ways I've not heard before. There is something for everyone here.
Caitlin's voice is such a part of her writing that hearing her read it makes it so much more effective.
"Not for grandma, unless your grandma enjoys shocking vulgarity."
Her voice. The stories she tells and the new wave of feminism she is proclaiming somehow becomes even more meaningful and hilarious at the same time with her tone and perfectly timed exclamations. The British accent doesn't hurt when hearing why she prefers to call her breasts "tits" and why women should stop shaving their "muffs."
Caitlin Moran is my new hero.
"Great performance of a great book"
This is an instant all-time favorite. It's a philosophy primer that's hilarious — not an easy feat to pull off, especially if you don't dilute the philosophy. This is a great book for everyone who thought they might be a feminist. It explains everything that defines being a woman these days. She's not afraid to call out her heroes for stupid comments (Germaine Greer). The personal anecdotes are priceless. A co-worker and I email mail sentences back and forth and crack each other up. The narration is spot-on; Moran's performance comes off as almost a standup concert.
"I think I've just had some sexism at me!"
The beginning of the book was wonderful. All cheery and embarrassing stories from her childhood and youth mixed in with some life lessons that she picked up the hard way. Then once we reach her early adulthood the book becomes more of a complaint about everything she doesn't like. Instead of spending six hours ranting about strip clubs, high heels, and how generally awful men are, maybe continue with the personal aspect of the story rather than aim your megaphone at anyone or thing you don't personally enjoy.
The huge cliff it dropped off in the second half. The book was wonderful and funny in the beginning, but about halfway through it turned into one sexist and stereotyping rant after the other.
The second half would have been rewritten so as not to come off as isolating all possible readers who occasionally do feminine things and don't whole themselves off in a closet doing angsty things late into their 20s.
I can't say enough that I LOVED the first half, but being a woman who occassionally likes a pair of high heels, and does someday want to enjoy her wedding, and doesn't think that strip clubs and burlesque are all that different...we had some differences that in the end were irreconcilable.
Blackbird Skye
"Beyond happy"
Haven't read the print version
Just about any sentence was memorable. Caitlin is a absolutely hilarious and insightful woman.
Most definitely.
Yes. I listened to it in my car and there were times I would park at my destination and just sit there so I could listen to a little bit more.
If you don't get this book you are definitely missing out on a great piece of literature.
Say something about yourself!
"Really Just the Smartest, Funniest Memoir Ever"
Better than Bossypants
I would rip this book out of someone's hands if I saw them with it and demand they listen to my copy instead. Reading it would be maybe 25% as good as hearing her tell it.

As Mother's Day approaches, I've been thinking about the most powerful gift my mother ever gave me: my love of reading. Not just any reading, mind you. When it became clear that 8-year-old finicky reader Bethanne Kelly was bored to death by age-appropriate bedtime tales, 35-year-old Julia Kelly quickly "thought outside the book": She dug out her old college literature texts and started reading me the poetry, short stories and essays they contained.

Just Leaked Ad Scans
Top Black Friday StoresView More Stores
News & Articles For Black Friday 2014
Fry's followers rejoice: The Fry's Black Friday ad scan is now available exclusively on Slickdeals! For a good couple of days, the deal community had access to Fry's Thanksgiving circular, but Black Friday is where it's at. On Black Friday, Fry's online deals become available at 3am while traditional physical store shoppers can start enjoying deals at 5am (Store Locator (http://www.frys.com/ac/storeinfo/storelocator?site=csfooter_D)). The ad scan features mostly electronics like cameras, computers, TVs and projectors but also has a dash of home appliances like blenders, microwaves and refrigerators.

HP is changing the way we create with its new all-in-one Sprout computer. Sprout by HP is not your typical all-in-one computer. The system forgoes your typical mouse and keyboard in favor of a multi-touch interface. You can interact with the computer using the main LED-backlit LCD HD monitor as well as the capacitive touch mat. Now what really makes this unit innovative though is the Sprout Illuminator which is a projection system that can scan any item using its 14.6 MP four-camera system in both 2-D and 3-D. Once an image is scanned it can be manipulated in any way you'd like. The system makes image editing extremely simple but at the same time very powerful for unleashing any creative ideas a user may have. The scanning system is even capable of extracting text with Optical Character Recognition which can be pasted directly into Microsoft programs such as Word or Powerpoint. http://slickdeals.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2980656&stc=1&d=1414795973 It's also revolutionizing remote collaboration. Using the same projection system the computer scans the user's hand movements so others who are collaborating on the same project can literally see how someone is making their changes rather than the end result alone. In terms of the computer's specs, the unit boasts a 23" display and is running on the Intel Core i7-4790S with Intel HD Graphics 4600. The unit comes with a 1TB SATA 6GB SSD hard drive and also has 8 GB of RAM but is capable of being upgraded to 16 GB. Sprout will come with Windows 8.1 pre-installed for its operating system. If you want to get your hands on this system it'll run you $1,899 which is actually cheap considering its capabilities, which will only continue to grow as software developers continue to add to the system's creative arsenal. HP is currently taking pre-orders for the product which will officially launch on November 9. Get yours here (http://store.hp.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryListingView?catalogId=10051&categoryId=152003&langId=-1&storeId=10151).

ETSU Baseball rallies to defeat Evansville, 9-8
Saturday, February 21, 2009
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 21, 2009) - The ETSU baseball team came back in the ninth to defeat Evansville after a late rally by the Purple Aces Saturday afternoon at Cardinal Park, 9-8.
"I thought our guys showed a lot of heart today," said head coach Tony Skole. "We really had to battle, and we got a bunch of big, timely hits from many different guys throughout our lineup."
Freshman lefty Josh Gonzaga (
"I thought our young kids really shined this afternoon," Skole added. "Josh gave us a really good start in his first college appearance, and we played some really good defense."
Paul Hoilman (
The Purples Aces then tied the game in the top of the third as Jim Viscomi stole home on a Gonzaga pick attempt to first. Evansville added four more runs in the inning on a three-run home run by Cody Fick and a solo shot by Greg Wallace to take a 5-1 lead.
The Bucs cut into the Purple Aces lead in the bottom of the third as Matthew Scruggs (

text: Cyrus Kouandjio is one of the elite left tackles in college football. We moved an All-American left tackle to Center in order to get Kouandjio there despite only being a sophomore. One area Fluker tends to struggle is pass protection and owns Mingo. Damontre Moore is a kid that I view as a legitimate top 10 prospect, where as Montgomery is a kid that's as good of a player as any of the DE's that may go in the 1st round in my estimation.

ABILENE — For a half, the Sweetwater girls were competitive against No. 18-ranked Wylie on Friday on the Lady Bulldogs' home floor, trailing by just seven (26-19) as they went to the dressing room.
At that point, the Lady Mustangs' dream of pulling into a first-place tie with Wylie — which actually led by just four points, 23-19, until hitting a 3-pointer just before halftime — in District 4-3A seemed possible.
But that dream quickly crumbled in the first 5 1/2 minutes of the third quarter, as Wylie went on a 17-1 run to seize control before Sweetwater got its first field goal of the half.
Wylie (5-0, 18-7) enjoyed a 50-26 lead after three periods, and had a 16-2 run over the final eight minutes to complete a 66-28 win.
Sweetwater (3-2, 17-11) now finds itself trailing not only Wylie but also Midland Greenwood (4-1), which is alone in second following a 49-32 win over Big Spring on Friday.
Against Wylie, the Lady Mustangs cut a 13-6 deficit late in the first quarter to a single point, 14-13, in the second quarter on consecutive 3-pointers by Suede Shirley and Kelsi Crosson, and made another mini-run in the final minute of the half before disaster hit.
"We had six straight possessions with turnovers and they scored 13 points right off the bat, and we look up and we're down 20," coach Al Miller said in describing the start of the third period. "We got a little lackadaisical even though we knew it would be an uphill battle.
"They made that 3 to end the half, then the first 3-4 minutes of the third quarter did us in."
Sweetwater now has a key home game with Big Spring (2-3) on Tuesday and heads to Greenwood this Friday.
The Lady Mustangs were led by Shirley and Kelsi Crosson's eight points in Friday's game.
Also scoring were Hayley Brownlow with five, Kendra Crosson with four, Janell Walker with two and Kayla Chowning with one.
"The girls knew it would be a tough one tonight," said Miller, whose team has five games left until the season ends. "We've just got to put this one behind us."

I pinned your idea of the ladder! What a great way to display the Santa! I collect them too, but stopped when the tabletop I use got too crowded. Now I can start again and use the old ladder I have. Thanks for the inspiration!

Before you head out to the ol' fishing hole, make sure you've checked your fishing tackle box. Believe us, you want to be prepared with the right stuff once you're out on the water.
Of course, the contents of your tackle box will vary, depending on the type of fish you plan to catch, but this is a typical tackle box for you (or a loved one) to get started.
Tackle-Box Checklist
- Extra fishing line
- Lures or flies
- Bobbers (or, floaters)
- Swivels, to keep fishing line from twisting
- Leaders
- Sinkers (or, weights)
- Different sizes of hooks (for different types of fish)
- Needle nose pliers, to help remove hooks out of fish (and maybe you!)
- Stringer, to hold all the fish you catch
- Sharp knife (such as a Swiss Army knife)
- Ruler/scale
- A small flashlight
- First-aid kit (with basics just in case a hook gets stuck in your thumb)
- Insect repellent
- Sunscreen
Reader Suggestions
- Unscented soap to wash your hands before handling bait. –suggested by Jerry Buerge
- Plastic worm and a couple of lures to attract fish. –suggested by Andy Fox
Are we missing anything? What else would you put in a tackle box? Please post below!

Christian socialism
Christian socialism was a movement in the 1800s by Protestants in Europe, especially Britain, calling for more government investigation and regulation to alleviate the disress of the poor, which they blamed on unrestrained capitalism. Supporters claimed that Socialism was compatible with Christianity as the early apostles in Jerusalem had all things in common (by private agreement, not because of government regulation). Their goal was to build God's Kingdom on earth. A few Americans joined the movement, although the Social Gospel was much more important in the U.S. in the era of the Third Great Awakening. The movement originated before Karl Marx and had little in common with Marxist socialism.
Critics accused social gospel preachers of focusing on this world rather than focusing on goal of saving souls. Christian socialists felt that they were doing God's will when they worked to improve conditions for their fellow human beings on Earth. Doing God's will would help to save souls. The Christian socialists formed a small part of the larger Social Gospel movement. It appealed to ministers and labor activists, but won few followers among actual workers.
In 1889 William Dwight Porter Bliss organized what was the first Christian Socialist organization in America.[1] The pamphlet What is Christian socialism? was their society's manifesto.[2]
Frederick D. Maurice (1805-72), a professor of theology at King's College London, until 1853, provided the initial leadeforship to a group who called themselves Christian Socialists, with The Kingdom of Christ (1838).
By 1870, Anglicans acknowledged that a 'theological transformation' had taken place which made the Incarnation central to Anglican thought. High Church organizations such as the Guild of St. Matthew, founded in 1877, embraced Maurice's theology of the Incarnation, and the Christian Socialists planned a new course for the church in its relations with society, social reform, and the rights of the working class.
Rev. Charles Kingsley (1819-75) played a leading role in the Christian Socialist movement in Britain in the mid-19th century; he was chaplain to Queen Victoria and later a canon of Westminster Cathedral. He explained that "Christian Socialism," meant cooperative enterprise and morality in social action. He published Politics for the People and The Christian Socialist. Kingsley, Anglican rector of Eversley in Hampshire, became the ardent and often controversial spokesman for the movement, and called on the upper classes to take part in this. His series in The Christian Socialist on 'Bible Politics' aimed to show that democracy is an idea from the Bible and is in the cause of God.
Gertrude Himmelfarb, a conservative historian, points out that "the generic form of Christian socialism ... was present among all the late-Victorian socialist groups, including the most radical of them." She notes that Keir Hardie, the late nineteenth-century trade unionist who became the first leader of the parliamentary Labour party early in the 20th century, described socialism as "the embodiment of Christianity in our industrial system." Himmelfarb finds that while these reformers tried to secularize religion, "that transference was rarely complete. What remained, for many socialists, was a spirit that transcended man, a moral idea rooted in religion which provided the ultimate rationale for socialism.[3] Himmelfarb notes that a frequent complaint was that it appealed more to the upper class than the working class, or as one critic snapped, "Christian Socialism is the holy water with which the priest consecrates the heart-burnings of the aristocrat."[4]
In Hungary, the Hungarian Christian Socialist Movement was active from 1895 to 1918, with ties to the agrarian movement and the Catholic People's Party; its leaders were theologian Ottokár Prohászka (1858-1928) and Sándor Giesswein (d. 1923), canon of Györ.
21st century
In the 21st century, the Christian Socialist Movement in England is a movement of Christians with a radical commitment to social justice, to protecting the environment and to fostering peace and reconciliation. It is holding a joint event on Cut The Carbon with Christian Aid at Labour Party Conference. Labour Party leader and former prime minister Tony Blair calls himself an 'ecumenical Christian' and has tied to Christian Socialism, though he led the Labour party to renounce its traditional commitment to government ownership of industry. "Christianity helped to inspire my rejection of Marxism," Blair explained. [5]

Did you know that a lake right outside of Orlando holds one of the largest population of alligators in the United States? Over 10,000 alligators live in Lake Jessup, a lake that many pass over daily. At over 16,000 acres, Over 100,000 years old, Lake Jessup is home to many of Florida's most famous wildlife, but none more intriguing than the American Alligator. Although these alligators lay still and appear to be sleeping, swimming in this lake wouldn't be the best idea.
In the 1980's, Lake Jesup it lost some of its appeal due to tremendous development in the area. However, surrounding residents came together to restore Lake Jesup back to its natural beauty. It is now a large attraction with airboat rides, hiking, and a wilderness area devoted to preserve central Florida's ecosystem. Lake Jesup is a unique and wonderful place full of alligators, fish and all sorts of birds that add to Florida's beauty.

There has been a lot of safety and my equipment doesn't work out of the box question's lately. No I know that some of you don't have the experience that some of us do. With that said when someone ask's " What's the safest way to do this or that" You have to ask yourself "What would a Professional welder do?" I'm not trying to upset anyone but our society has lost the ability to use common sense! If a propane bottle has just been taken out of service maybe you shouldn't cut it with a torch or a grinder. I'm not saying it can't be done but the diy fella is not going to have the experience or knowledge to do something like that. If your Victor regulator doesn't work "READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DON"T TALK SMACK A?BOUT A PRODUCT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!" I know there will be a bunch of hater's out there but I don't care if this save's one guy's finger's or life it's done it's job. I watched a guy lose all of his finger's on one hand in a 20ton break because he was to cool to ask for help. Welding is serious business it shouldn't be taken lightly. All it take's is a lapse in judgement and you've burnt your house down or lit yourself on fire. Enough ranting, Be safe and alway's protect your self that way you can hug your kids and wives at the end of the day! Just one man's opinion. Jef

I agree. But I just don't think it's fair for people to chime in with advise not based on real experience or knowledge and not indicating they are just sounding off(speaking to the Propane tank debate you refer to )
With over 12 years experience, I believe I can humbly call my shelf a "professional". I do this for a living. I'm a very conscientious person. I've spoke to well qualified, industry professionals, on the topic and follow the preparation procedures without fail.
If I'm theorizing in a reply, I indicate so. If I'm making a joke, I make it as clear as I can.
Unfortunately, forums are so full of people that give advise based on no first hand experience, "a friend said...", or "I heard..." that I would say, yes, take any info you get as only a gauge. If what you're wondering seems possible, then go speak to someone, face to face, that is a "professional" or has first hand knowledge in the area of your question and get them to advise you or better yet show you.
Work safe, surf safe, be safe.
Best regards,
We have the safety 'industry' to blame for that. Thanks to agressive propaganda from govt, lawyers, and the fear of responsibility in big companies workers have unprecedented access to safety equipment and information. As well workers now are actually considered valuable enough to be worth saving from injury. This is mostly great news. The problem we see now is that workers are even less responsible for their own actions and safety since their entire behaviour is dictated by the "safety rules" enforced on them. When a new situation arises which isn't spelled out in the above rules workers are less likely to be able spot potential danger and figure out a way around it. What we end up with are people worried about their safety (good) but have trouble identifying the specific hazard and dealing with them without outside instruction.
WOW!!! Finally, someone has spoken what i have wanted to say for ages! BRAVO!!!welder_one
nothing fancy, just a few hot glue guns for metal
What did people do before the internet?
You know, at the end of the day, each individual is entirely responsible for their own safety & choices. Of course, some things are entirely out of our control. Sure, we can argue "real world" this & that, "urban legend" this & that, "this regulator stinks" this & that... "No it won't blow up", "yes it will" this & that.........
But......Every single one of us has a brain inside our heads. Some choose to use it less than others. Some shoot off their mouths without knowledge to back it up. Some propagate total BS. Some share true stories from verifiable sources who eye witnessed the account. Some ask questions they should know are entirely without merit. Some ignorantly defend those individuals without looking at the big picture either. Some jump to conclusions based on a very limited amount of information. Some just like to go on & on with worn out mantras & their "real world" experience..........
Yeah, we can beat this to death.
I could really care less.
At the end of the day, rest assured I'M going home to my family based on the choices I make. Although I haven't the welding skill some here have, I've been around heavy industry in the Midwest for the last 10+ years & lived a life growing up in some of the toughest gang run crack cocaine neighborhoods in Las Vegas.
I would sincerely like to think I didn't make it this far from making poor choices.
You got a brain....Use it.So you're telling me...You're not nostalgic? Then, give me another word for it......

Interesting Discussion!
This forum consists of people from all over the world. I am in the USA and speak of those in the USA.
Many people are idiots. Many people are stupid. Many people live in fear of being sued and are afraid to do anything that isn't 'certified' by some agency or organisation...justifiable, but sad. It's what we've become as a society. We are afraid. We are pathetic. We've done it to ourselves though.
We've all become complacent - most of us. When we hear of a person who gets a 3 million dollar settlement for a car accident that left his finger permanently twisted we shake our heads and say 'oh well'. When the banks jab us $34 for a $3.45 overdraft on our debit card we *****, but we pay it. When Wells-Fargo bank rips us all off with their foolish Vegas style gambling with our money - we merely shake our heads in disgust and leave our money in their banks.
We, as a whole, are a lazy bunch of slobs that care more for watching the football game than setting things right or studying a manual and learning something.
We did it to ourselves. We keep doing it. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Inspired by an original design dating from the early 1960s, this Limelight watch features an oval dial in a cushion-shaped case. This contemporary adaptation takes on a carefully sculpted style, with cambered case, sapphire crystal and dial, combining both strength and finesse. This new model is set with diamonds throughout the entire surface of the case; it takes all the skill of the Piaget jewel-setters to match so successfully the curves of its cushion shape. In order to cover it to the maximum and to show only a minimum area of gold, the stones are carefully arranged in staggered rows. Thus adorned, the Limelight watch, operating with an automatic watch movement visible through a sapphire crystal case back, is available in white gold with a black alligator-skin strap.
524P movement
The 524P movement incarnates the second generation of Piaget automatic movements. Sturdy and reliable, it is equipped with an oscillating weight that features an openworked center and a balance stop. Elegant and refined, this movement features a large date indication visible at 6 o'clock. The circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained mainplate, the beveled bridges and the blued screws round off this exceptional movement, recalling the esthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.
