What Did You Cook Today? Part 2
The fun and photos continue from here http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/811917 to here! I'll get us started this time with last night's feast--new idea for me--beer-braised chicken with coarse-ground mustard mashed red potatoes. Damn, Abita's pecan harvest beer makes a FINE gravy! And how did I hit enter without the pic...brb! Meantime, what did YOU cook today?
re: kattyeyes
This also - DELICIOUS. LOL @ the crinkle cut carrots. :)
Powered by a couple of tasty Martinis, I rummaged around our pantry and 'fridge to come up with what I'll call a Bread And Beef Casserole. Browned up some ground beef, adding condensed Golden Mushroom soup to the mix at the end. Mixed up some Jiffy Mix as the platform for the beef. Stabilized the Jiffy Mix in the oven for about 12 minutes, then added the beef and topped the invention with sharp Cheddar and Mozz. This is how it turned out. Tasty and filling!
re: RedTop
It's a cold day where I am. This sounds perfect for today.
re: kattyeyes
Just the bacon, or some sugar/brown sugar as well?
re: inaplasticcup
I dredge in brown sugar first. You can add white pepper/black pepper whatever else if you wish, but I just like the SUGAH!
re: kattyeyes
I'm afraid my family would become addicted if I ever start them on that crack.
re: kattyeyes
oh man that looks good katty!! whenever i see canadian bacon here it's the round stuff, and with almost no fat! phooey on that.
re: mariacarmen
OOPS, both you and nomadchowwoman--your eyes are playin' tricks on you--that's Vermont bacon CANDIED...not Canadian. ;) I am all about original, fatty bacon! And this stuff from VT is deee-lish, deee-lightful!
re: kattyeyes
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! got it. looks it!
re: kattyeyes
Totally missed that that was Canadian bacon, ke. Looks so much better than the round stuff to which mc refers!
Now that changes things--b/c canadian bacon is good for us, right?
Nom nom indeed. : )
re: nomadchowwoman
See above. I'm not much a fan of the round stuff--unless it's pancetta, and that's another story!
- The original comment has been removed
Ok. So not exactly today, but a couple of choice meals from the past couple of weeks.
1) Pho tai (rare beef pho)
2) A spicy poke rice bowl with the addition of fresh uni from the farmers market
I love uni. So much. :)
re: inaplasticcup
Ah, yer killin' me! Pho tai is my fave pho. I always go out for it, however--have never made it at home as I have it in my head it would be a pain-in-the-ass endeavor. If it's not, tell me where I can find your recipe, please! Or if it's in a place you can't mention here, please message me. My addy is in my profile. Many thank yous! :) Oh, and as a bonus, you can have my portion of the uni. HA HA!
re: kattyeyes
Deal. I will keep that extra uni serving for myself!
Here's a cut and paste job from a little cookalong dealie I did over on G+ about a week ago. Made quite a few posts about the process, so I'll message those to you. :)
And now for the broth recipe...
PHO is basically prepared in three parts:
1) Preparation of the broth.
2) Preparation of the protein. (Which, depending on the type of pho, may also be partially handled in the first part.)
3) Preparation of the accompaniments and noodles.
The most time consuming part of the process is making a good broth. Traditionally, pho broth is made with roasted bone stock, which is simmered for hours before seasoning. But for this first Cookalong go around, I decided to take a happy medium approach between old school roasted bone stock and just using canned stock, by starting off with a quick chicken stock made of bone-in, skin-on chicken, (enhanced by a few of the rare beef steak trimmings) which still results in a flavorful and full-bodied stock to use as a base for the broth.
And don't let anyone tell you it's not "authentic" or that it's "never" done this way. Of course it's done this way by home cooks everywhere. We adapt to use what works or what's available, and there is certainly nothing inauthentic about using chicken stock in Vietnamese cuisine. Hell, my mom makes it with pork bones if that's what she's got handy.
And because I wanted to take a slightly quicker approach, I chose to make pho tai, or rare beef pho, because it doesn't involve the slow (and LONG) cooking process of using flank, tripe, or oxtail, all cuts of meat typically found in various styles of beef pho.
(Slightly Faster Than Your Average)
Serves 4
This part of the process takes about 2 hours total, but most of it is just wait time - waiting while the stock is simmering, and waiting while the aromatics roast. But the good news is they can be done simultaneously. :)
- 16 cups cold water
- 2.5 to 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken (thighs or backs are good), rinsed
- 1 whole large white or yellow onion, UNpeeled, cut in half
- 1 whole head of garlic intact
- 1 4-inch segment of fresh ginger root
- 2 whole star anise
- 1 4-inch cinnamon stick
- ¼ cup fish sauce (I use Three Crabs or Tiparos)
- 1 Tablespoon sugar (plus more to adjust seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to adjust seasoning)
1) Put the chicken and 16 cups of water into a stock pot, uncovered on medium high heat and wait for the stock to come to a gentle boil. This should take 20 to 25 minutes. When the stock comes to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and let the stock simmer (you should see very little movement below the surface of the water) for 1 hour, uncovered.
2) While the stock is coming up to a boil, preheat your oven to 425F for at least 10 minutes, then place your onion, ginger, and garlic in a foil-lined oven safe dish, and roast for 40 minutes total. After 30 minutes, add in the star anise and cinnamon, and let them roast (or bloom) along with the other aromatics for 10 minutes. After the 40 minutes, remove all the aromatics from the oven and let them cool while you're waiting for the stock to finish.
3) After the stock has simmered for 1 hour on low, remove the chicken from the stockpot, and pour the stock through a china cap or strainer into another large pot or mixing bowl (if you only have one pot that will fit all the liquid).I f the strainer is really porous, you might want to line it with a single layer of paper towel to get a cleaner broth. At this point, your 16 cups of water should have reduced to about 12 cups of stock.
4) Put the strained stock back into a clean stock pot and add all the roasted aromatics along with ¼ cup fish sauce, 1 Tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Bring the now seasoned broth to a gentle boil on medium high heat (this shouldn't take too long - maybe 5 to 7 minutes tops), and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 20 minutes or so. This is when your whole house starts smelling like a deliciously inviting bowl of pho...
5) At this point, you can adjust the seasoning. Maybe a little more salt if needed, probably a little more sugar - the onions aren't that sweet this time of year - and maybe a dash more fish sauce if you want a little more umami to the broth. Remember that while you don't want the broth to be salty, you do want to compensate for the fact that the noodles and the meat will dilute the salt levels ever so slightly. BUT, you also want to keep in mind that if you add sriracha and/or Hoisin, you'll ratchet the saltiness back up a bit.
And make sure when you taste the broth to adjust seasoning that it's lukewarm. It's hard to detect the levels of seasoning when the broth is really hot.
re: inaplasticcup
What cut of beef did you use in this pho, ina?
re: nomadchowwoman
Sirloin. :)
re: inaplasticcup
You rule! THANK YOU so much! And I love your thoughts on authenticity as well--agree 100 percent!
re: kattyeyes
+1. I've always been intimidated by pho, but this looks like something I may be able to manage.
re: nomadchowwoman
++1 (or is it +2?) Pho always seemed like it took so much work that every time I considered a recipe, I decided I was better to just go out to one of the many excellent pho places nearby. But this looks particularly manageable if I use the turkey stock I have in my freezer as a base and just add the roasted aromatics. I foresee making pho in the near future, just as soon as I can get to the Asian market (which should be very soon as I just ran out of sriracha...)
re: kattyeyes
I so badly want to make this.
re: inaplasticcup
I've copied your recipe to my file, don't know when I'll get to it but it's great that I have it. Thanks for posting. Photos are beautiful, as always.
re: L.Nightshade
Thanks, LN! :)
re: inaplasticcup
Wow. Gorgeous. Swooning . . .
re: nomadchowwoman
Thanks, ncw! Belated Happy New Year! :D
re: inaplasticcup
that poke bowl with uni - oh my.... it's just heavenly.

Today, the survival rate for this once deadly disease is 94 percent, thanks to research and treatment protocols developed at St. Jude.
Children from our Northern Colorado community, all 50 states, and from around the world have come through the doors of St. Jude for treatment, and thousands more around the world have benefited from the research conducted at St. Jude — research that is shared freely with the global medical community.
No family ever pays St. Jude for anything.

The St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign was created in 2004 by Marlo Thomas and her siblings Terre and Tony Thomas, children of hospital founder Danny Thomas. Funds raised by the campaign support the lifesaving work of St. Jude – to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.
Join the KISS FM Team
Join 96.1 KISS FM and our sister stations at Clear Channel Media + Entertainment of Northern Colorado are proud to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and their efforts.

This site is another area of space forming part of the key wildlife corridor and walkway along the River Cole.
There is a large area of wetland within the site which seems to be expanding at present. It is thought that this is due to the raising of the water table, which is occurring throughout the city.
The site is also notable for containing the only known patch of wild orchids growing within the constituency.
If you have any questions or comments about this or any other park in Birmingham please contact Parks.

YES, I FOUND MAX FACTOR MASCARA - AGAIN! I always loved Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara and was so sad when they stopped making it. I just re-discovered it here! The formula is exactly the same, it is perfect. I tried every "high priced", sold only at cosmetic counters brands, out there and NOTHING compares. This one wears all day long and doesn't clump - ever - AND I wear contacts! This mascara is now made in Ireland but it delivers just as it did when originally made here in the USA. Thank you VCS! I'd give it 10 stars, if I could! Please keep selling it! December 13, 2014
Mascara I am extremely pleased with the mascara. It feels light, does not clump and looks natural. Please don't ever discontinue it. October 11, 2014
This product is the best wearing mascara EVER! I have been looking for a mascara that makes my lashes look thicker without looking goopey. My search is over. This mascara doesn't smudge or flake. I wear contacts. This mascara does not irritate my eyes. I threw away all my other mascaras! December 29, 2013
Very impressed I don't use mascara any more but when I do I would like it not to clump and to separate the lashes easily. This one does exactly that. I had a wedding to attend and bought this product with my fingers crossed! It worked beautifully and I will definitely order another. October 25, 2013
GREAT MASCARA This is an excellent mascara. It does not flake or clump and is easily removable with makeup remover or facial cleanser and water. I got it primarily because I needed brown. I am please with this purchase and highly recommend it. October 19, 2013
The very best mascara ever! This mascara is fantastic. It lasts ALL day, gives you volumized pretty lashes. It washes off with soap and water. Thank you Vermont Country Store! October 12, 2013

The FIA has confirmed that the Nico Rosberg-Lewis Hamilton collision at Spa is a closed case...
The FIA has confirmed that the Nico Rosberg-Lewis Hamilton collision at Spa is a closed case.
Race stewards decided not to take action against Rosberg after he hit Hamilton on lap two on Sunday, but there was talk that the FIA could punish the German retrospectively after Hamilton claimed his Mercedes team-mate admitted during a post-race team meeting that he deliberately crashed into him.
"He said he did it on purpose, he said he could have avoided it. He said 'I did it to prove a point," Hamilton said.
Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff, though, felt Rosberg's comments were misinterpreted saying: "They agreed to disagree in a very heated discussion amongst ourselves, but it wasn't deliberately crashing. That is nonsense."
However, The Telegraph reports that the matter is closed as far as the FIA is concerned as no "new evidence" has come to light since Sunday.
"The FIA will not intervene in this issue," a spokesman said. "Only a 'new element' that would have appeared after the results became final could justify us opening an investigation. A comment alleged to have been made in an internal briefing and later denied by the team itself does not constitute such a 'new element'."

Bridges of Königsberg: The movie
We've read the book. We've bought the T-shirt. And now, finally, here it is: the movie of one of our favourite maths problems, the bridges of Königsberg. Though admittedly, we made it ourselves. We learnt several interesting lessons in the process. For example that a bin doesn't make a good supporting character and that people who shouldn't be in the frame should get out of it. But other than that, we're well on course for an Oscar this weekend!

Depression in Children and Adolescents Fact Sheet
How common is depression in children and adolescents?
Studies have shown that on any single day (called "point prevalence" by epidemiologists) about 2 percent of school-aged children and about 8 percent of adolescents meet the criteria for major depression. Looking in the long term, the numbers are higher—for instance, one in five teens have experienced depression at some point. In primary care settings the rates of depression are higher still—as many as 28 percent for adolescents. Preschool depression has begun to attract interest in the literature but much more needs to be learned about how mood disorders may affect this age group.
Which youth get depression?
During childhood, the number of boys and girls affected are almost equal. In adolescence, twice as many girls as boys are diagnosed. Well over half of depressed adolescents have a recurrence within seven years. Several factors increase the risk of depression, including a family history of mood disorders and stressful life events.
Repeated episodes of depression can take a great toll on a young mind. It is prudent to get an evaluation followed by tailored treatment to prevent the social isolation, self-esteem consequences and safety risk of persistent depression.
Do youth with depression need treatment? Will they just "grow out of it"?
Episodes of depression in children appear to last six to nine months on average, but in some children they may last for years at a time. When children are experiencing an episode they do less well at school, have impaired relationships with their friends and family, internalize their feelings and have an increased risk for suicide. To ignore these warning signs and hope for the best while the child tries to cope is a risky decision. There are effective treatments for youth depression.
How can you tell if your child is depressed?
Signs that frequently help parents or others know that a child or teen should be evaluated for depression include:
- feeling persistently sad or blue;
- talking about suicide or being better off dead;
- becoming suddenly much more irritable;
- having a marked deterioration in school or home functioning;
- reporting persistent physical complaints and/or making many visits to school nurses;
- failing to engage in previously pleasurable activities or interactions with friends; and
- abusing substances.
Because the child or teen experiencing depression may not show significant behavioral disturbance—that is, the depression may be taking an internal toll without disrupting the family—parents sometimes "hope for the best" or fail to get a child evaluated.
What are the treatments for children and adolescents with depression?
There are two main groups of treatments for children with depression with well- demonstrated evidence of efficacy:
- Psychotherapy (talk therapy)
- Pharmacotherapy (medications)
Additionally, in September 2009 a study was published by Fristad, et al. demonstrating that family psychoeducation was beneficial for children with depression ages 812. This is a key area for further study.
All treatment options have risks and benefits. The best strategy is to educate yourself about the choices you can make, share the decision with your child or teen and evaluate what is best for your child. Untreated depression confers a real risk of suicide, so it is important to consider that no treatment also carries risks.
Exercise and social support are also necessary elements of any good treatment plan to address youth depression. These interventions may fail to address more serious symptoms but remain important components throughout the course of treatment.
Rigorous studies have shown both talk therapy and medications to be useful. Both treatments were more effective than when a placebo alone was given in the NIMH-funded Treatment for Adolescents with Depression Study (TADS). This landmark study also demonstrated that the combination of the two interventions is likely to create even better results than either one alone.
There are two different kinds of psychotherapy that studies have shown to be effective for children and/or adolescentscognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT). CBT concentrates on changing the negative attributional bias (seeing every cup as half-empty) associated with major depression. CBT attempts to challenge the automatic negative thinking that may contribute to depression. IPT focuses on a patient's self-concept and relationships with peers and family. More unstructured therapy with a supportive person may also be helpful but is more difficult to study. Ask potential therapists about the kind of psychotherapy they practice and why they feel it might help your child.
Antidepressant therapy can be an effective treatment option for child and adolescent depression, but it also carries risks. Fluoxetine (Prozac) is the only antidepressant specifically approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression in children ages 8 and older. Doctors can prescribe other antidepressant medications off label (not specifically approved by the FDA for that condition). If a doctor suggests another medication it is a good idea to ask more questions. Ask why he or she is not recommending the medication approved by the FDA for this condition, and what research and experience are the basis for the recommendation. You may ask for a second opinion from another doctor if you are not sure this is the best course of action.
There are three important considerations with the use of antidepressants in children and adolescents:
- Suicidal thoughts. In 2004, the FDA issued a strong black box warning about the risk of increased suicidal thoughts and actions in a small percentage of children and adolescents who take antidepressants. While none of the 2200 children and adolescents in antidepressant studies killed themselves, a review of the data determined that the rate of suicidal thoughts was about 4% for those taking the medication, double the rate expected. It is important to have regular care assessments, monitoring and follow-up, particularly in the first months of medication treatment. Please visit the FDA website for more detail.
In addition, in 2006 the FDA expanded the warning about suicidal thoughts and antidepressants to include adults under the age of 25. All treatment options have risks and benefits. The best strategy is to educate yourself about the choices you can make, to share the decision with your child or teen and to evaluate what is best in the context of a comprehensive care plan.
- Bipolar disorder. Children and adolescents who first experience a major depressive episode may, over time, be predisposed to bipolar disorder. Reviewing any family history of bipolar disorder and being mindful of this possibility is a good idea when treating a child or adolescent experiencing a major depressive episode as antidepressants may increase the risk of mania in some youth.
- Research on depression in children and adolescents. Research is ongoing in this important area, and more needs to be learned. Ask your caregiver about how the latest research studies have influenced the treatment plan. Look through the NIMH website for a summary of the latest research. Of future interest are NIMH-funded studies TORDIA (Treatment of SSRI-Resistant Depression in), TASA (Treatment of Adolescent Suicidal Attempters) and ASK (Antidepressant Safety in Kids).
What is the right treatment for my depressed child?
First, be sure that the caregiver has performed an in-depth assessment that looks at the whole personthe environment, school life, medical and family history and current living situation. It is important to have a real understanding of the stresses and strengths a youth brings to the equation. It is also essential to make the youth a part of the emerging plan. There is no one size fits all in mental health; interventions need to be tailored to the individual.
Once the diagnosis is made, ask the clinician to collaboratively develop a treatment plan with your child and family. Target symptoms that you and your child are hoping will improve (e.g. sleep problems, self-harming statements, school attendance or performance) that will help track your childs progress. Treatment needs to be specific to your child and his or her world. For example, if there is a co-occurring alcohol problem, that must also be addressed. If there is a learning disability or bullying problem at school, that needs attention. Addressing family stresses or conflict may also be part of helping the youth.
If you have concerns about your childs safety, be sure to have a plan for responding to these concerns. This should include how to access resources after hours and on weekends.
In general, the youth, family and clinician should together choose a first treatment or treatments and give that regimen an adequate trial determined in concert with the doctor (e.g., eight to12 weeks). The treatment should be reevaluated at the end of that time if it is not working.
How long should my child stay on treatment?
Treatment duration should be driven by the improvement and severity of the symptoms. Assuming a simple and positive treatment response, medications are typically continued at least six months after response before tapering off. Many therapists will decrease the frequency of psychotherapy sessions but continue some maintenance therapy longer than the initial eight to12 weeks of treatment. Treatment for a first episode of depression is likely to last at least six to 12 months with either treatment but may be longer.
For recurring depression, many clinicians will recommend a person stay on medication for considerably longer periods, sometimes years, to prevent a recurrence. In that case, one key is to help the youth recognize when their symptoms are recurring or worsening so that additional supports can be activated.
The field of depression treatment for youth is continuously evolving and recent research may hold new information to better guide these decisions. The NIMH is a good source to summarize these recent findings. The American Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is another good resource.

Small and dim viewfinders are going to be a fact of life until full-frame digital becomes affordable. It's one of the dirty little secrets of the DSLR world.
Of the cameras that you mentioned I'd vote for the 10D. The small viewfinder is there, but image quality is first rate as is build quality and features.
Begin a Canon EF lens collection, and as your needs and wants evolve you'll be able to play the interchangable body games as well.

My main concern with the 10D is this: with this viewfinder, can I realistically focus manually, and is DOF preview actually usable ?
Clearly the 10D is a "safer" choice than the E-1, although the E-1 satisfies the non-conformist in me (and I actually think that, on paper, the E-series lenses look rather promising.)
It is a pity that manufacturers are simply taking 35mm designs and bolting on digital backs. It seems quite cynical to me - they promise (and deliver) great output quality, but seriously diminish the camera as creative tool. Olympus has at least tried a different approach, although their marketing is abysmal, and Pentax has as well, but only half-heartedly, and with the drawback of a prehistoric lens range.
Although I can certainly see the attraction and sense in investing in EF lenses, I can't help wondering if they'd be better served mounted on the front of a EOS-3 for the time being....

There seems to be a range of personal variation about viewfinder size (I prefer distinctly smaller VF images than many others, and will not try to force my tastes on anyone), so you might want to look at a discussion on the E-1 VF at DPReview:
[It currently ends with a reference to an essay at this site!]
Compared to the E-1, the 10D viewfinder image is slightly higher (3%) and distinctly wider (about 15%) due to the different aspect ratio, while the 300D's is the smallest overall: serious tunnel vision for some tastes.
MF on the E-1 is reportedly fine, but I have not seen any comments about DOF preview beyond that the feature exists. (Optimistically, if it were distinctly bad I think someone, like the usually frank reviewers at Chasseur D'Image, would have said so by now.)

Well I know that only I can really decide, but nevertheless I'd appreciate any advice going. Where I live it actually isn't very easy to go and try things out - we have no Pro shops and few amateur ones. So a bit of s/h experience can help!
Having recently returned from a 3 week trip including two major locations with over 700 35mm slides, and faced with the grim reality that a well-tuned scan on my Minolta MultiScan Pro takes between 30 & 45 minutes, I am finally facing facts...
I am in the unusual (?) situation of not have any "legacy" 35mm gear. All I have is Canon FD which is irrelevant to digital. So I can choose what I want. I'm also reasonably comfortable on the budget side, but I'm not a pro any never intend to make any revenue (never mind profit) from photography.
For me what really matters is to have a camera that allows me to make the most of any situation. I'm not scared of manuals and I'm no technophobe, but I want a camera to be intuitive. I'm also beginning to (finally) see that a good AF is handy to have when you need it, and to realise that a 1kg Canon T90 is heavier than it needs to be these days. One thing that is paramount to me is a good, clear viewfinder.
Unfortunately the Canon 1Ds is out of scope. Whatever I say about budget, this is a pro tool.
So as far as I can see I've got three options:
Canon 10d ... I once held one - that's the sum of my experience
Canon 300d ... I saw one last week. I was surprised by how robust it feels. But the viewfinder was horrible. So small...
Olympus E-1 ... for me the weak point is the resolution. From 35mm I can print up to Super A3. I don't want to lose this. Otherwise the body looks great and the lens range optimal.
I know I've left out Nikons. I know nothing about Nikons, although I did play around with a Fuji S2 and liked it. But I find Nikons fiddly and the lens range confusing and a bit expensive.
One thing I would really like to know - with a DSLR ("APS" size) sensor, what is, in general, the lowest DPI you can get away with printing at on inkjet ? When people quote things like "you can print easily up to A3", what DPI do they mean ?
Finally, an interesting (translated) thought from the Photim message board ... "it looks like the age of interchangeable bodies has taken over from the age of interchangeable lenses"

I am sure arguments can be made for all three (and the Pentax *-ist D) depending on your specific needs and budget, and this site has an understandable Canon emphasis, so let me make a few points that might favour the E-1, subject to how it tests out.
The E-1 viewfinder image is a bit smaller than the 10D, but it is reportedly bright and with virtually 100% coverage, better coverage than any other camera in this price range. Think about that if "what you see in the viewfinder is what you get in the file" is important to you.
Lens cost can vary greatly between brands depending on your standards. With Canon you of course have lots of cheaper options from both Canon and third party makers, and at the other extreme you can have superlative constant f/2.8 zooms across the range and many other choices. But if your standards are somewhere in between and you are looking at something like the 17-40 f/4 for your standard lens, that is $800 and you quickly need a second lens (a 28-70?) to get even mild telephoto coverage. In comparison, the Olympus 14-54 f/2.8-3.5 is equivalent to about a 17-67 on the two Canon models, for $500.
(My hunch is that, with Pentax starting to make lenses adapted to the 16x24mm sensor [1.5x] of thier *-ist D, they will end up offering the lowest prices for a suite of decent "near professional" lenses suited to that sensor size, but they are a late starter.)
I have heard good comments (and no major dissent even in some usually contentious discussion forums) about the E-1 in respect of dynamic range and shadow handling; but you should look into the test photos yourself of course.
Resolution from all your options seems good at up to the size you are talking about; but that depnds on hw high your standards are. Soon enough you will be able to download samples from final production versions of all candidates, and do some test printing. (The Olympus forum at DPReview is one place that E-1 user samples are starting to appear.)

I know I've left out Nikons. I know nothing about Nikons, although I did play around with a Fuji S2 and liked it. But I find Nikons fiddly and the lens range confusing and a bit expensive.
One thing I would really like to know - with a DSLR ("APS" size) sensor, what is, in general, the lowest DPI you can get away with printing at on inkjet ? When people quote things like "you can print easily up to A3", what DPI do they mean ?
Nikons fiddly? Outrageous!!
If you liked the S2, you'll love it with longer use. Personally, I think its the best of the 6mp cameras, and well worth another look. There is nothing to chose between the Canon and Nikon ranges. And the independent lenses fit both.
I am intrigued by the Olympus E1. Olympus have just announced a lens rollout program which will see various new 4/3 lenses launched over the next year or so, and those lenses will fit any other manufacturer's 4/3 system camera body, when released (and released they will be). The 4/3 system is looking better all the time.
Lowest dpi on an inkjet - 240dpi will give sharp results almost indistinguishable from the normally recommended 360dpi.

David, I'm also on the lookout for a DSLR for a while now.
One camera you didn't mention is the 1D. It's biggest plus for you might be that it has a larger viewfinder (1.3x crop instead of 1.6x). It's sensor is 'only' 4.1 MP, but from the images I've seen, this camera is able to take great pictures.
Furthermore, the price of the 1D is coming down, and many people are expecting a successor. And for these reasons, secondhand prices will also come down.
I myself am serious considering a secondhand 1D. IMHO, one can get a very good deal on this camera when the secondhand prices start to drop.
OTOH, the successor of the 1D might be a very interesting camera too....
Good luck choosing!

Two Chowhound's Road Trip (Starting in the Southwest)
Starting April 17th, Passadumkeg and Scargod (who met on Chowhound), started a road trip from Las Vegas to the coastal town of Ellsworth, Maine (Passadumkeg's home). We spent ten days eating our way across the South and up the Atlantic coast, while traveling in a 1990 Miata. We are even still friends! We stayed with friends and relatives occasionally, along the way. Some meals were simple and some involved six people and hundreds of dollars. I researched many places that were along our trail; some we ate at, yet often we winged it. This thread will chronicle our adventures across the Southwest and then we will move to the Texas, Austin, New Orleans, South, Florida, Tri-State and finally the New England board. We will Permalink threads together so you can follow our progress. We took many photos…
This is a new experience for both of us and I cannot see posting all our eating experiences in one post and our photos are too numerous to post just four. So, I foresee a rolling dialog with posts that will include pictures of each place we ate at and other related images, while Mark and I go back and forth with our impressions of food, service and ambiance, of which we didn't always agree. Still, we were good Chowhounds and shared and discussed almost everything we ate. Sometimes we swapped plates halfway through a meal!
My first meal was some lousy chili (at Chili's), at La Guardia, before the flight out, but we will start when we first went out to dinner at "M" a relatively new resort (and casino), in the southernmost part of Las Vegas. It was not our idea but Mark's brother's wife, that we try the buffet, which is quite popular, at $19.00. With gambling charge card it went down to $17! They have seafood, some standard fare and Asian food. This includes sushi, raw oysters, planked salmon, snow crab legs, many desserts and a selection of about four wines. Wow! This sounds great till you realize that you must be there at 4PM if you want to eat by 7PM. You get a reservation to show up in the line about 45 minutes later. You then stand in a line for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours before you get to eat! Is it worth it? I/we think not. The oysters were the biggest disappointment. They were not freshly shucked. They brought them out on huge trays and dumped them on the ice. They were very dirty and had an off-taste and texture, as if they had been shucked and frozen, or refrigerated for a long time. There was no liquor, or juice with the oysters. Crab legs were very good. Most fish was overcooked. It was a crapshoot, so you tried lots of things and there was lots of waste. This is abhorrent to us. People were rude, acting as if they were in a game show, where you competed for getting the food and how much of it you could eat before time was up. This was a strange environment, which I do not wish to revisit.
Drinks at the bar, "32", a draft beer bar where you can get 96 different draft beers: We sampled about five of them. Big Sky Moose Drool, Abita Amber, Young's Double Chocolate Stout and Abita Turbo Dog. I can't remember which I preferred..... all good…
We left Henderson, a suburb, the next morning before daylight. That may be the only reason we got out of the area, since they say bad things stay in Vegas…
We had breakfast in Kingman, AZ, at the Silver Spoon. We will address it in a future post.
Scargod, please keep the thread going. You gained a lot of creditability with me just for "panning" one of the Vegas buffets. They are not about good food, just making the "mark" think they got a "steal".
Mark gets me up before the crack of dawn and we hit the road. Our first stop was to take pictures of construction of a new bridge over the Colorado River, just below the Hoover Dam. In the dark the illuminated view was incredible.
We searched around the non-descript, Kingman, AZ for a place to eat breakfast and were finally directed to the Silver Spoon Family Restaurant, a '60's retro-futuristic diner. We both could not resist getting the special of pork and green chile omelet with biscuits and gravy. We had an awesome breakfast here. Our coffee cups were never empty. Supposedly this diner is one of the original "Route 66" buildings. It's architecture is very unique. The waitress told us the owner/cook is Greek and there is some Greek food on the menu. This is a gem, in the middle of nowhere. We highly recommend it!
Don't hesitate to stop and seek out a local for advice. This served us well throughout our trip!

re: Scargod
Hot damn, we now know there is in fact good food somewhere in Kingman!
Silver Spoon Family Restaurant
2011 E Andy Devine Ave, Kingman, AZ 86401
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
The green chile and pork omelet was excellent. I was in a big need of a green chile fix and it helped.
re: Scargod
Oh yeah.... that's better. I can see clearly now.
Seriously, What a fantastic time you two must have had. So far the report is just perfect for those following on your trail. I've only been to Dallas in the southern tier so I'm looking forward to the eastern seaboard leg.... that's my stomping grounds. Glad you're both home safe and sound.
re: Scargod
A couple of Fat Tires later, we are at Mark's property in New Mexico. That is a gypsum mine in the background. There were black seams of coal everywhere and stark white seams of gypsum.
There was a horse ranch below us and I scared up a jackrabbit, but no Micky D's! We're in God's country...
It's been six hours now, with only a beer in between; man am I hungry! It's going to be another hour and a half before we see salsa, chips and beer...
re: Scargod
Yes, we have a coal mine on the property and lots of pinon trees right at the foot of beautiful 11,300 ft Mt Taylor.
re: Scargod
The BBQ sliders were wicked good too.
Lunch on Saturday, the 18th: We drove some three hours, till we were starving; finally settling on El Falcone, a true Chowhound kind of place. The sign is in disrepair, as were many vehicles outside, but the food was fantastic. Lots of Mexicans/Indians were eating there. We had lunch of stacked green chile enchiladas and soft tacos and washed it down with Negra Modelos. Sometimes we were so eager to eat that the value of taking a photo was lost by the time we thought of it. Oops! Starving this soon after a huge breakfast is a bad omen…
Note the incredible 30 foot mural and Mark's Red Miata. We met a nice Aussie couple who were also doing a road trip. That's their real nice rental car next to us. As we left we came across the Casa Blanca Cafe, a very spiffy looking place, with nothing but upscale cars parked around it, but it was too late and we were already satiated.
re: Scargod
More green chile, yes!! Feeding my addiction. More, more, give me more.
re: Passadumkeg
This is the green chile enchilada, stacked w/ a fried egg. Yum.
re: Passadumkeg
I am a green chile junkie and a New Mexican food snob. But i was not overwhelmed by any of the 3 places we ate in Ariz. or NM. Maybe we should have hit Albuquerque where I used to teach in the Hispanic South Valley. Or is it just my memory has exaggerated the wonderful flavors of green chile. I wish we had time to stop at Padilla's or even the Frontier in Alb. Now I need to return to NM for a more extended green chile feed. Maybe build and adobe on our land.
Go Lobos!
The best green chile was the bowl on the side at the Lodge.
re: Passadumkeg
So, where is this place? Town?
TIA, Pete Tillman
re: Tillman
I'll answer for Pass: I believe you are referring to The Lodge, in Cloudcroft, NM, where we had some great green chiles with our Eggs Benedict (made with crab cakes). Green chiles not shown...

A pair of HEAD players have been crowned British National Squash Champions, with national No. 3 Daryl Selby and Laura Massaro taking the top honours for 2011. Selby wielded his Argon 155CT in a victory over the sport's top-ranked player Nick Matthew, winning a tense five-setter 9/11, 11/9, 6/11, 11/9, 11/7. Massaro won an all-HEAD battle with stablemate Jenny Duncalf - both competitors played with the Xenon 135CT- earning her first national title 11/7, 9/11, 11/7, 7/11, 2/11.
Selby's surprise performance was especially rewarding as he dethroned the top seed, defending champion, world champion and world No. 1 by beating Matthew. "It's obviously my biggest title and my biggest honour," said Selby. And Matthew told: "He didn't give me anything - it was almost error-free squash. I had my chances, but when he came back he took his chances better than I did. He played better than me. I wanted so much to win that fourth title."
Selby had to battle back from deficits in his final, but managed to end with the victory. "Nick's intensity overpowered me in the first set, but in the second I felt better and started finding a good width and length, and I started attacking more," said the winner. "I had a plan, but he didn't let me execute it early on, he didn't let me do anything. After that the plan came into action and I was playing some of the best squash I've ever played."
Massaro finally achieved the top rung on the ladder after reaching multiple semi-finals and a final during her career. "I have more belief in myself and my game. My fitness has also definitely improved. Believe it or not, I was quite nervous towards the end of the match – thinking about what I had said before the event about wanting my name on that trophy, and that I would be the first Lancashire player to win it! It feels really good to have won it at last."

HVAC Technician Training Savannah GA
If you are starting to look for HVAC Training in Savannah GA then I think you will find the article below has some useful suggestions. Choosing the correct HVAC Technician Training Program can be a really tricky decision, but it is good to be prepared, so you can be certain you have chosen the best
HVAC Training available in Savannah GA
HVAC training
is comprehensive education in the fields of heating technology, ventilation systems, air-conditioning and refrigeration. While these systems for moderating the internal environments of human spaces involve different technologies, they are closely related and many professionals have considerable knowledge in all of the areas. At the same time, because there is such a wide range of equipment, many HVAC professionals in Savannah GA choose to specialize.
HVAC professionals in Savannah GA
means keeping current with trends in the industry: new technology is causing rapid change in HVAC equipment and methods, while changing levels of demand and evolving environmental issues are also driving changes in the industry. Savannah GA's graduates from HVAC training must be up to date on such issues as proper handling of CFCs and other refrigerants, health issues with air conditioning and air quality problems, energy efficient furnaces, air exchangers and appliances, and on-the-job safety issues. Increased demands in these areas have prompted not only increased demand for skilled workers, but also increased demand for relevant qualifications.
The number of colleges and other post secondary venues training HVAC specialists in Savannah GA is growing. Various formats for entry level education and continuing education are expanding, including on site courses, online courses, and apprenticeship HVAC training courses. The internet makes the task of searching for an appropriate program easy – most providers have websites and will provide the prospective student with ample information about course content for a valid comparison. Candidates should ensure that the school in Savannah GA they are considering will provide them with the appropriate qualifications for employment in their preferred locality: credentials from an accredited program and/or licensing are required in some places.
Job prospects are good for graduates of HVAC training. Demand for these professionals is expected to increase across the United States until at least 2014. Some parts of the country, notably the western states of Idaho, Montana and Nevada, are projecting an increase of over 50 percent. There is no state, however, that doesn't expect increased demand: training HVAC professionals is a strong focus for schools at this time. At the present time, professionals with HVAC training in Savannah GA have incomes with a midrange of $37,000. In 2004, about 270,000 HVAC professionals were working in relevant areas of expertise in the United States. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/448688
HVAC Training – Offering a Variety of Career Options
HVAC training in Savannah GA is offered in a variety of formats, including initial training and continuing education. Programs are available for the training needed to obtain certification or a degree in heating, ventilation and air conditioning or heating and refrigeration. This training will vary depending upon the type of degree or certification desired. This can include an associate's degree or a bachelor's degree, which will require from two to four years of education. The length of time for certification programs will differ depending on the program.
General or Specialized Training
HVAC training encompasses the fields of refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation systems and heating technology. The technologies differ, but due to the close relationship between the systems, many students choose a generalized education in this field while others specialize.
The specific areas of training available for heating and refrigeration will include building codes, refrigeration technology, heating design, ventilation, electronics technology and indoor air standards among others. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning field will include study in electronics, equipment construction, design theory, blueprint reading, installation and maintenance.
There are numerous opportunities for those who wish to enter this high-demand field. From universities to online courses and apprenticeships, those who are interested in a career can find the specific program that meets their needs. The demand for professionals in the field is growing and is expected to continue.
HVAC training includes:
- Knowledge of HVAC equipment and the methods in which they are used
- Environmental issues
- Handling chlorofluorocarbons and refrigerants in a safe and responsible manner
- Health issues on air quality
- Energy efficiency
- Safety issues
Even though apprenticeship is an option for learning the basics in this field, a school is the best option to obtain a degree or certification. This will allow the highest potential earnings. Trade schools will offer programs in HVAC training that will typically require from 6 months to 2 years of education. This will cover the following:
- Operation
- Design
- Construction
- Installation
- Maintenance
- Repair
A more inclusive program will also include training in areas such as blueprint reading, computer applications, electronics, applied physics, mechanical drawing and shop mathematics. Completion of training and passing the licensing exam will be required for certification.
Degrees in HVAC and HVAC/R
As stated, many choose a career in HVAC as well as refrigeration since the fields are so closely related. A bachelor's degree can include basic classes as well as advanced. The mechanics of each of the systems include courses in the same basics that are required by trade schools. Additionally they require courses including schematics, drawings, specifications, estimating, industry codes, regulations and Computer-Aided Drafting and Design.
The Bachelor's Degree
The bachelor's degree will provide students with the necessary skills for complying with environmental laws, HVAC/R building codes and regulations that include local, state and federal procedures. In addition, they will learn how to perform inspections, design, testing and maintain heating, cooling and refrigeration systems, estimate costs and read specifications and blueprints.
Skills learned in the bachelor's degree program will provide students with the knowledge to install systems as well as improve energy efficiency, repair defects or dangerous leaks and provide required climate control.
The Associate's Degree
An associate's degree in HVAC will include the basics of servicing the systems. Included are troubleshooting, American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards, psychometrics, thermal comfort, air distribution and indoor air quality. The student will learn how to install, service, find and eliminate problems associated with the control mechanisms including relays, pneumatics and HVAC Ethernet controls.
Online Certificate Programs
Online certificate programs are available. There are two – HVAC installation and repair or design of HVAC systems. The training to learn installation and repair and prepare for entry-level positions require 320 credit hours, which will include up to 16 courses. This program is designed to prepare students for entry-level positions. After receiving the online certificate, the North American Technician Excellence Certification Examination may be taken.
When choosing HVAC training, such as the certification program for design, this will require completion of 4 to 5 courses. In addition, experience in engineering as well as a bachelor's degree is required. The opportunities afforded by completing certification and degree programs include competitive salaries and many receive other benefits such as company cars, bonuses and reimbursement for further training.
