I think someday, a radical change will come about the way we capture images, tiffs will be a thing of the past.... Just for fun I'll give it a name "Fractal Unified Juxtapose Image" or FUJI for short.
No need to fantasize; replace fractals by the equally trendy mathematical concept of wavelets and you could be talking about JPEG2000. It might be five years past the advertised arrival date, but it does seem to offer a good step forward from JPEG and TIFF.
Nothing to do with pixel counts though. My poll vote was rejected becasue I read the results before voting, so I will say it here:
Somewhere between 12MP and 20MP, since 4000x5000 will certainly cover my eye's resolution needs under the closest scrutiny I have ever given to even huge prints from large format, and 3000x4000 is probably enough for that.

48Mp of Foveon type pixels will do as well (8000x6000), on a 4x3" sensor with big pixels. i can get 4x5 quality in a 30x40 with a betterlight, so i guess i'd settle for that as well

If the chip had some means of detecting a "filled" sensor photosite, dumping the charge, and incrementing a counter associated with that pixel, dynamic range could be increased almost arbitrarily. Each bit of the counter would add 1 stop of usable dynamic range. In addition, when the most significant bit of any counter flipped from 0 to 1, a signal could be generated to terminate the exposure to brevent clipping.
And - it seems to me that 'reading' the charge of an individual photosite would require using some of that charge. Unless one had some sort of a flux meter. (Do I have the right device?)
If you're doing a 'real time' reading then why not just send that charge on to an accumulator? That would drain power from the p-site. The p-site would never fill, never 'blow out'.

I'd love a 36MP sensor - a 6000x6000 square sensor at 36x36mm. The projected image onto the sensor could not contain too much light falloff in the corners, but if possible... The format could be chosen from 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 1:2, 1:3 and 16:9. Horizontal or vertical at the push of a button. Prints could be made to 20" in long dimensions without interpolation, huge with interpolation.
While I'm dreaming, the anaolg gain (or ISO equivalent) of each pixel could be independantly adjusted to keep the image within the contrast range of the sensor i.e. while setting the exposure to keep detail in the highlights, the camera increases the ISO of the pixels recording the shadows to keep detail in the entire image.
Naturally it has an anti-static coating with ultrasonic dust removal a la Olympus, and anti-shake courtesy of Konica-Minolta. Inbuilt DxO Optic software automatically corrects for distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, blur, etc.
Keep dreaming! :p

I already have all the "pixels" I need to replace 35mm color film. What I would like is more precise autofocus, larger buffers, better color accuracy, zero metamerism, one button push manual white balance, zero moire, and no chromatic aberrations. In general, most of these wishes are achievable and will probably happen sooner if we get off the "megapixel madness" train and look for improvements in other areas. As long as there is market pressure for more pixels, we will see fewer improvements elsewhere. Actually, in the consumer venue we are beginning to see progress in this direction with the recent changes from eight to seven megapixel sensors, hybrid autofocus, lower shutter lag, etc.
In large format venues there is still no economically viable way to achieve parity in resolution with a single frame sensor capture, so until chip manufacturing processes are advanced enough to make it feasible I'll be happy with my old Kodak MF digital back.
In retrospect, some of the very best image quality I've produced have been with my Sigma SD10 (Foveon) which doesn't have a huge file size but produces exceedingly sharp and pleasing images.

well - with my 16 mp camera (1ds MkII) I have more
than enough - I don´t print bigger than A3+ - and for
cropping 16 MP are perfect. Just to say it like Robert
Capa - you can´t get close enough to the subject (or so)!
But - when I´m allowed to dream - I´d like to have
a Phase One with a full frame square sensor for
1:1 photography with a Hasselblad!
And - a full frame for the Linhof Technorama 617 !! :-)

Well, the fact that this special camera shoots images that are in fact 3x the size of a normal 35mm frame goes a long way toward explaining your observations. No one would likely claim that any 6 or 8 Mpixel digital camera is 3x as good as 35mm film. In fact, the general claim is that 6 MP is about the same effective resolution as 35mm film but considerably "cleaner" (no grain). 8 MP is pretty much agreed to be all around superior to 35mm film. Something like a 1ds is effectively about 2x the resolution of 35mm film, but much cleaner. A D2X or 1dsMKII is substantially better than 1ds. A 35mm image that's 3 frames wide is a very special case. With my D2X I can take panorama stitching images that can go up to around 100 MPixels or more when they're all assembled together, but it's not fair to compare D2X with large format on account of this.
In any case, inspired shooting and optimal technique are more critical than the utmost in good specs for equipment. Galen Rowell took terrific photographs with 35mm film. However, David Muench and Michael Fatali (and many others) produce more impressively detailed large prints from large format film. You just can't fake resolution. You can scan for a huge amount of detail with film, but after a while you're just showing grain in very great detail. You can uprezz and sharpen digital images, but after a while you just get a clean picture that's obviously lacking enough detail. I doubt very very much that there's any 1ds, 1ds2, or D2X shooters that are very nostalgic about 35mm film.
Anyway, enjoy your phototgraphy, whatever side of the fence you're most comfortable on. The digital P&S will give you a good idea whether or not you'll want to go full on digital some time. 6 MP ought to give you pretty decent 16x20. A very successful pro commercial photographer friend of mine gets good 16x20 (depending on subject matter) from a Canon 3.4 MP P&S. Of course, his clients only see his serious Nikon cameras and his MF and 4x5 stuff!!

I hope I'm not being too obtuse... but the other day I was reviewing some old B & W 16 X 20 photographs that were printed from 8 X 10 negatives ... they were absolutely stunning. I love my digital but even the best of the lot is not there yet. Certainly the ease of use, etc. of todays digital is a huge plus but the overall quality is not up to the best of that "old" technology. If you have not yet seen any of those old pictures ... check out Clyde Butcher's work as he is one of the few still practicing the "old art". Maybe we are there (or better) if you consider Stephen Johnson's work with scanning backs but what if we could do that with a one shot back (ouch, my wallet is burning a hole in my pocket).

I think there are two myths that seem prevalent in imaging. Pixel resolution (or film format) limits maximum print size. And pixel resolution equils resolving power (either with a digital camera or scanner). Both are false.
There is no limit to the size of print that can be made regardless of the number of pixels (digital) or format (film). As long as you are viewing from the correct viewing distance (the diagonal of the print), the print will appear the same no matter what size it is. The issue is the angular resolution of the eye. If you increase the viewing distance, resolution (and depth of field) appears to increase. The opposite is true if you decrease the viewing distance. So go ahead, print those images as large or as small as you like.
While there is no method of determining the resolving power of a CCD, it is not equil to the pixel resolution. It will always be something less. The resolving power is further lowered by the optics and the aperture. While the pixel resolution is fixed by the data, the ability to resolve detail is not. The joke is all all photographer whether then use a digital camera or scan their film. You are not resolving the detail that the pixel resolution suggests. Camera and scanner manufactures are quite happy not to point this out because it would cause a huge headache if consumers wanted to know the actual resolving power of their equipment.

Well, I would say you are simply repeating the myth. A printed image will appear the same regarless of size if the ratio of the print size and viewing distance is kept the same. It is a simple geometric problem based on the angular resolution of the eye - which is how circles of confusion and depth of field is calculated as well. That does not mean a low resolution image will not look rough, but its appearance is the same when the ratio of size to distance remains the same.
So what?
It's not a myth that if you take a 3000x2000 pixel image and a 600x400 pixel image and print them both at 16x24 and hang them on a wall side by side, the quality difference will be extremely obvious. And it's not a myth that given the fairly standard hanging-on-the-wall-at-arm's-length home/gallery viewing condition most under which most framed prints are exhibited, prints from a 1Ds or MF back can be printed larger than those from a 6MP camera and still maintain an acceptable level of image quality per unit of print area. Yes, you can get away with a lower print PPI standard as viewing distance increases, but at any given viewing distance, a file with more pixels (all else being equal) is going to make a better-looking print than one with fewer.
I am not talking about image quality vs. pixel resolution (of course more pixels make finer images). I am saying there is no limit to the size of print that can be made from a file. A bad print at 8x10 will look exactly as bad at 30x40 given the same ratio of print size to viewing distance. (Of course, if you stick your nose up to a good print, it will look bad.) This works for film; digital follows the same principles. Sharpness is based on relative size of circles of confusion. not absolute size and is defined in relation to the angular resolution of the eye.
The tests you are refering to do not specify the resolving power of the CCD (or film). Those test show the resolving power of the system - CCD (film), lens, aperture. There are tests to determine the resolving power of film, but no standard that I am aware of has been developed for CCDs or CMOS (although the manufactures must be making some assumptions to design their lenses).
While this is technically true, in practice one can measure the resolution of the sensor if one uses a lens that has a decent MTF at spatial line frequencies higher than the pixel pitch of the sensor. In that case, the sensor (or more precisely the anti-aliasing filter over the sensor, if applicable) will be the primary bottleneck limiting the resolution of the image. As noted previously, the pixel pitch of the sensor imposes a hard limit to the amount of fine detail that can be captured in an image, and this limit can be approached, but not quite reached, due to lens imperfections and the AA filter. But if the lens is good enough, the error it introduces into the measurement process is small enough that it does not significantly compromise the usefulness of the results. How do you think film manufacturers determine the MTF curve for film?
As you pointed out, IF the lens is good enough. The tests I see on the web don't seem to worry to much about the optics nor the aperture setting - seems pretty random to me. (BTW, film manufactures don't just stick any old lens on a camera and take a snap.)

With how may megapixels would you be satisfied ?
Please note, this poll only turns about the number, and not the costs !
Also think about memorycards, the storage needed in the field, resolution (both lenses and sensors), postprocessing, backing-up, hard drives, print size,
Dont think only about the number, more megapixels mean bigger files, more storage space in the field (memorycards and psds), higher quality, bigger print size without resizing, need for bigger hard drives, slower postprocessing, and the purpose (4/5, A1, prints)
Forget everething about money, the cost of the sensor, memory, hard drives, ram, software, .. Look only to the number and please, take your time to motivate your choice !!
Thank you !

I set mine down at 20MP.
The question after a long time becomes print size as well. Do you really plan on making a billboard print? Because if you're not, it's pointless to have 1000ppi on a 19*13 print. For me 15MP would be ideal, to have 19*13 prints at about 300ppi, true this is overkill, but it would make a great image, that would be better then 200ppi under extreme scrutiny. It would also allow for a larger 24*19 print, if I so wished. 20Mp was chose, to include a crop.
Obviously if the cost was a non-issue, I'd most likely get higher, but if the cost was another 2,000$ for 25Mp, then no chance of me getting it.

Cor blimey! It's not just the number that counts but the quality. Always remember, it's
[/i] resolution that's important; the combination between lens and sensor. We're after a 'system' MTF response. The higher, the better at any given resolution.

The photosites do have a way of detecting nearly full pixels mid-way through the exposure, and A/D conversion is done right at each photosite, according to comments at the Pixim site. Here is my speculation about how that technology might work, based or reading the Pixim web page and some earlier comments on the research at Stanford U.
For an exposure of say 1/125, each photosite checks the electron count in each of its well after say 1/8000s. Wells that are close to full are then read, converted to a digital value right there at the photosite, and multiplied by 64 since the exposure was cut of after only 1/64th of the full time. Multiplying by 64 (or any power of 2) is easy: shift the bits six places to the left.
The same is done again after 1/4000s, with photosites read then having the value multiplied by 32 (shift five bits left).
Repeat at 1/2000, 1/1000, 1/500, 1/250, 1/125. Digitised values are then read off the sensor all together after the exposure is finished.
Effectively, the sensor reads one stop of the luminance range at a time, from the top down. This would have another bonus: even with a fairly long total exposure time, the highlights to mid-tones are read over a shorter time, so motion blur mostly comes up down in the shadows; twice as bad for every stop darker.
If you want, you could examine an image and set the black point at a level that cuts off any excessive shadow blur. But that might rarely be needed, since the blur could be so dim as to cause few problems.

I'm more interested in optics than megapixels, however megapixels do come in usefull in post and for resolving detail.
Assuming optics are not the problem they are today...
-Landscape/portrait/still images: anything around 25-30MP in a full-frame medium-format sensor.
-General-use SLR: 10MP
- Candids/street photography: I'd be happy with a full-frame 24x36mm sensor made to be very capable in low-light photography (ISO 6400 please). What MP rating? 4MP would be just dandy. All wrapped in a RF of course.
And I'm going to continue my push for modular design so that I can interchange between color, true BW, and IR-only sensors.

We'll probably live to see that being affordable. 10 years ago the idea of the 1Ds was pretty radical and outrageous.

I agree with those who point out that lenses must be able to produce adequate resolution to take advantage of greater sensor resolution. The other issue is crafstmanship: you really have to do everything else right to even get the most out of a great lens. I use a 1Ds, and find that often it is my unwillingness to use mirror lockup, for example, that is the real limiting factor in image sharpness, and a 16 MP sensor would then produce no better an image anyway! I don't think many people, pros included, really do all they can to use the resolution they currently have, even as they dream about more! But for those who do, 25 megapixels would be a minimum if they don't need to crop, and love to work with big display prints, I would suppose.

Hey didger, I'm kind of new to this so take it for what it's worth . He used a hasselblad Xpan camera (first time I've heard of it) which uses 35mm transparency film, in this case fuji velvia or maybe it was Provia, I'm going back to see it again, in which the camera exposes about 3 frames worth or whatever a 6x7 format is, so you get long narrrow transparencies. I had a chance to talk to the photographer and he said he had worked with or under Graham Nash? from Crosby Steels and Nash?(the band). He said he used the best scanner, best available paper and inks. He also said he exposed the film using the film 'reciprocity exposure' method? Anyhow color was magnificent, sharpness and detail was outstanding,and the photographer has a great eye. The showing is in Toronto Canada, if anyone with more experience than me would like to check it out. Like I said it blew me away and if someone 'who knows better' can give a better analysis it would be much appreciated because personally 'I' have never seen pictures this vibrant or sharp. I have dabbled in photography for about 15 yrs, belonged to a camera club and won some 'minor' awards. I use a T90, OM4T and various quality lenses. When I shoot 'for real' I always use transparency films. I would love to sell all my gear and go digital, and almost did, but after veiwing these photo's I've jumped back to the other side of the fence for now . I have just bought a point & shoot, 6mp, a few days ago and have been amazed at the 'convenience' it provides. My first 11x14 or 16x20 may push me back over the fence.

I hope I'm not being too obtuse... but the other day I was reviewing some old B & W 16 X 20 photographs that were printed from 8 X 10 negatives ... they were absolutely stunning. I love my digital but even the best of the lot is not there yet.
Well, it's not that easy to carry an 8 x 10 into the field, set it up, and shoot it.
So how about carrying a 1Ds MkII instead, setting it up vertically and taking the scenes in two frames?
Then you get a 4992 pixel by 6000+ pixel file once stitched. (You loose a bit of the 3328 x 2 sides when overlapping for alignment.)
That will allow you to print a 16" x 20" at 300 PPI. And since most of us (apparently) can't resolve much above 250 PPI then you've met your LF film needs digitally.
(Or you could use a more affordable digital and shoot more frames and do a bit more stitching. Probably a lot less work than shooting huge hunks of film.)
(Oops, saw the B&W after writing the above. Gonna need to shoot more fames to equal fine grain B&W, but the technique still holds. Or does that hold if one is only making contact prints? Maybe I was right anyway....)

Not silly, actually. I shoot to print, which is the most demanding application in terms of pixels. The largest print I would ever want is 20x24.
Fair enough! It's good to know there are some people who know exactly what they want and don't want
. However, if you wanted a 20x24 print from just a part of an image, the part that was compositionally interesting, then greater than 39MP might have been useful.
The sensible answer to the question, 'how many pixels do you want?', is:- "Sufficient to extract the full potential of any lens I might use with the camera."

Her bona fides are widely known: She's a fourth-generation Kennedy. Daughter of Eunice and Sargent Shriver. Separated spouse of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Former first lady of California. Mother. Journalist. Author. Yet when Maria Shriver welcomes visitors into her light-filled Los Angeles office, she introduces herself simply as "Maria."
In person, she seems a strong presence, tall and more curvaceous than one might expect — and serene, unlikely to be rattled.
Raised Catholic, she wears bracelets of Tibetan-style prayer beads, and amid the images of angels and crosses in her work space are statues of Buddha and compassion goddess Guanyin, candles and inspirational messages. "Difficulties are opportunities for inner growth," reads one. "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why," reads another.

All around are framed photographs: Shriver on the dais at The Women's Conference, a Southern California gathering she hosted from 2004 through 2010; Shriver with Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey; Shriver and her four children: Katherine, 23; Christina, 22; Patrick, 20; and Christopher, 16. (Noticeably absent in the photos is Schwarzenegger, who we've been warned is off-limits as a discussion topic.)
When she is asked which of her many roles is her favorite, Shriver pauses, then says, "I'm trying to get away from roles. I used to identify myself strictly in terms of my role, but when your roles fall away, part of you falls with them."
At 58, Shriver has experienced spectacular achievements, but certainly more than her share of losses. Aunts, uncles and cousins have been tragically taken, and in 2009 her mother died, followed in 2011 by her father, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease; toward the end, he no longer knew his daughter's name.
Shriver gave up her job as an NBC News anchor in 2004 after her husband was elected California governor, to be a better advocate for him; in May 2011, just months after he left office, the couple announced their separation after Schwarzenegger admitted to secretly fathering a son 14 years earlier with the family's longtime housekeeper, Mildred Baena.
Though their divorce is not final, Shriver clearly is moving on. While still placing a priority on her children, she is now taking time to focus on herself. "That's certainly been a struggle for me," she says.
Shriver recently signed back on with NBC. She runs two websites — The Shriver Report, about societal issues American women face, and Maria Shriver, which profiles people she calls "architects of change." (Learn more by watching the video at the bottom of pages 2, 3 and 4.) In January she will publish her third "Shriver Report," about women living on the brink economically.
As the last of the Baby Boomer Generation turns 50 and more baby boomers are retiring, AARP celebrates the generation that changed the world.
Referring to 2011 as a year in which "I was trying to reimagine my life," Shriver tucks a tendril of her long, thick hair behind an ear and says, "You have to be willing to let go of the life you planned in order to make the life you're meant to live."

Kosher Vegetarian
|Paella of Summer Vine Vegetables with Almonds
Adapted from Easy Vegetarian One-Pot, Ryland Peters & Small
This is a vegetarian take on the classic Spanish rice dish paella. It's colorful, delicious and bursting with fresh, young vegetables grown on the vine and enhanced with the subtle flavor of saffron. Perfect for summer entertaining.
A large pinch of saffron threads
Put the saffron in a bowl with 1/3 cup hot water and set aside to infuse. Heat half of the oil in a heavy-based frying pan set over high heat and add the tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, shaking the pan so that the tomatoes soften and start to split. Use a slotted spoon to remove the tomatoes from the pan and set aside. Add the beans, zucchini and peas and stir-fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Set aside with the tomatoes until needed.
Add the remaining oil to the pan with the garlic and rosemary and cook gently for 1 minute to flavor the oil. Add the rice to the pan and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes, until the rice is shiny and opaque. Add the stock and saffron water to the pan. Stir just once or twice, then increase the heat and let the liquid reaches a boil.
When the stock is rapidly boiling and little holes have formed in the rice, reduce the heat to medium and let simmer gently for about 20 minutes, until almost all of the stock has been absorbed.
Scatter the cooked tomatoes, beans, zucchini and peas over the rice, cover lightly with some foil and cook over low heat for 5 minutes so that the vegetables are just heated through. Sprinkle the almonds on top to serve.

From Jan. 3 through Jan. 8, I had the privilege of chasing Austin Halls in his pursuit of Iowa High School Athletic Association basketball history.
It was my first crack at chasing someone who had a chance to do something historic, and I had a blast following the Murray basketball team and Halls those few days.
Halls, of course, surpassed the 2,000 career point milestone on Jan. 4 at home against Moulton-Udell. Then, just four nights later, he became the all-time career leader in steals for the state of Iowa, in all classes.
And, he continues to add to that number in a big way. Halls has a chance to really distance himself from the pack in that category by season's end.
Until that game on Jan. 3, I had never seen Halls play basketball. I knew he was extremely quick and agile from watching him on the football field, but I still came away impressed at how quick he appeared on the basketball court.
But, as I watched him play three games in three days, it wasn't his quickness, or his court vision, or his shooting range, or even his quick hands that impressed me the most.
His ability to lead his team was what really struck me.
Halls was constantly vocalizing while on the court, whether it was calling out plays, or keeping his teammates aware of what the situations were on the court. When a teammate made a nice play or hustled after the ball, Halls was the first one to praise him.
When he surpassed the 2,000 point mark on Jan. 4, I asked him what it felt like to finally get that milestone. And when the first thing he mentioned was his teammates, I learned a lot about him.
"You kind of enjoy it, you know, but the most fun comes from playing with the guys," Halls said that night. "I've grown up with them."
And after briefly discussing the milestone, he went right back to talking about the team.
"But we've got bigger goals than that. There are team goals we want to achieve," he said. "This one's nice, but we've got better goals ahead, so we'll focus on that."
Murray head coach Darin Wookey said when Halls came up as a freshman with Cody Scroggie and Eddie Otto, people quickly learned they weren't your typical freshmen.
"When those boys came up from junior high, Ted Halls had them well-schooled, and they had played more ball than most kids that age had played," Wookey said. "They weren't freshmen when we hit the floor. They were 16-7 as freshmen and they led us."
And even though Halls scores at an amazing clip, he still plays team ball, which Wookey said not everyone realizes.
"That's the thing. People look at the scorebook and they see him score 30 or they see him score 28, and what they don't see is how many assists he had per game," Wookey said. "There's a lot of times he's getting double-doubles with 25 points and 12 assists with six or seven rebounds on top of it."
In fact, Halls now ranks in the top five in career assists as well. Halls ranks first in career steals with 412, fifth in assists with 630, 21st in made 3-pointers with 203 and 22nd in career scoring with 2,136 points. He is the only athlete in state history to rank in the top 22 of each of those career categories.
"There's not many kids that have those types of numbers in their career ever," Wookey said. "For him to have that many points and assists, to do what he's doing with his assists is incredible. We're just happy to have him at Murray. He's a special kid to have around."
It's amazing the type of career he has put together. He is by far one of the best athletes I've covered at the high school level.
Danny Jensen, who has coached Halls as an assistant coach in both basketball and football, agrees that Halls is a unique athlete.
"He is a 'one of a kind athlete' and I count it as a privilege to be a part of this great run and to be around him every day, both in football and now in basketball," Jensen said. "He is a part of a great senior class, and I have to enjoy the moments."
And Halls doesn't just excel in athletics, either. Murray activities director Jerry Shields was quick to point out that he also ranks second in grade point average for his class, as well.
Not to mention, he's also president of the senior class and of the FFA chapter.

"Oregon Public Meetings and Public Records Law were enacted by the Oregon legislature in 1973. These laws underscore the state's policy that the public is entitled to know how the public's business is conducted. Thus the written record of the conduct of the public's business is, with some important exceptions, available to any citizen. Similarly, the deliberations and decisions by public bodies are, for the most part, open to attendance by any interested person." Attorney General's Public Records and Meetings Manual, January, 2004.
Public Body
Public body is every state officer, agency, department, division, bureau, board and commission; every county and city governing body, school district, special district, municipal corporation, and any board, department, commission, council, or agency thereof; and any other public agency of this state.
A governing body is two or more members of a public body who have the authority to make decisions for or recommendations to a public body on policy or administration. A group without power of decision is a governing body when authorized to make recommendations to a public body, but not when the recommendations go to individual public officials.
Public Meeting
A public meeting is the convening of any governing body for which a quorum is required to make or deliberate toward a decision on any matter, or to gather information. Decisions must be made in public, and secret ballots are prohibited. Quorum requirements may vary among governing bodies.
Meeting accomplished by telephone conference calls or other electronic means are considered public meetings. Governing bodies must hold their meetings within the geographic boundaries of their jurisdiction. However, a governing body may meet elsewhere if there is an actual emergency requiring immediate action or to hold a training session, when no deliberation toward a decision is involved.
Notice of Meetings
Governing bodies must give notice of the time, place and agenda for any regular, special or emergency meeting. Public notice must be reasonably calculated to give actual notice to interested persons and media who have asked in writing to be notified of meetings and general notice to the public at large. Adequate notice to ensure that those wishing to attend are able should be a week to ten days.
At least 24-hour notice to members of the governing body, the public and media is required for any special meeting, unless the meeting is considered an emergency meeting. However, notice for emergency meetings must also cite the emergency.
A meeting notice must include a list of the principal subjects to be considered at the meeting. This list should be specific enough to permit those wishing to attend to recognize matters of interest. However, discussion of subjects not on the agenda is allowed at the meeting.
Written minutes are required for all minutes, except tape recordings are allowed for executive sessions. Public Meetings Law states that minutes must be made available within a "reasonable time" after each meeting, but does not specify the time. Minutes must be preserved for a reasonable time (generally a year). Minutes of many governing bodies are subject to records retention schedules established by the State Archivist.
Minutes must include:
Members present
All motions, proposals, resolutions, orders, ordinances and measures proposed or their disposition
The result of all votes by name of each member (except for public bodies consisting of more than 25 members); no secret ballots are allowed
The substance of discussion on any matter
A reference to any document discussed at the meeting
Minutes are not required to be verbatim transcript and the meeting does not have to be tape recorded unless so specified by law. Minutes are public record and may not be withheld from the public merely because they will not be approved until the next meeting.
Executive Sessions
Minutes from executive sessions are exempt from disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law. Governing bodies are allowed to exclude the public, but not the media. Executive sessions are allowed only for very limited purposes:1. To consider the initial employment of a public officer, employee or staff member, but not to fill the vacancy in an elected office or on public advisory groups.2. To consider dismissal, discipline, complaints or chares against a public official, employee, official, staff or individual agent, unless that person requests a public hearing.3. To review and evaluate job performance of a chief executive officer or other officer of staff member, unless that person requests a public hearing.4. To deliberate with persons designated to conduct labor negotiations (the media may be excluded from these sessions).5. To conduct labor negotiations if both sides request that negotiations be in executive session.6. To consider records that are exempt by law from public disclosure.7. To consult with counsel concerning litigation filed or likely to be filed against a public body (members of the medial that are a party to that litigation or represent a media entity that is a party may be excluded).8. To consult with persons designated to negotiate real property transactions.

Blockheads are a French grindcore band. Blockheads were formed in 1992 and released their first demo, Haaashaastaak, in 1993. In 1995, they released their first studio album, Last Tribes, and a further album, Watch Out, followed in 1998, after the band had experienced some line-up difficulties. In 2000, Blockheads signed with Bones Brigade, a label which specialises in extreme music. Their first two albums were re-released together on Bones Brigade, under the title From Womb to Genocide. A third album was released in 2001 (Human Parade) and in the next few years, the band participated in numerous festivals, causing them to become known as an important grindcore band in the European extreme music scene. In 2006, the band released the album Shapes of Misery, on Overcome Records. During their career, the band has played concerts with such notable acts as Napalm Death, Nasum, Obituary, Entombed, Sick of it All, Carcass and Soulfly.

Hi all
new here, I've been on the fence debating whether to get a MIG or stick welder. yeah I know most people would say go with the MIG, but for me getting argon would be inconvenient and I will be using the welder outdoors and be suseptible to breezes and wind.
I've see stainless steel welding rods offered for stick welders so it looks like it's possible.
Just want to get an opinion on welding stainless steel exhausts. I've see some rods offered in 1/16 size, so I'm hoping that won't blow through the exhaust material.
I know vertical welding with stick can be tough, but I can always remove the exhaust weld so it won't be a vertical weld.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Buck Pomerantz Boston Acoustics GTA amplifiers use some of the same technologies found in their top-of-the-line GT Reference amps to give your music a powerful boost. And these attractive amps deliver the sonic goods at a reasonable price. The 2-channel GTA-802 amplifier puts out 80 watts RMS per channel plenty enough power to rock a set of speakers or components or you can drive a 4-ohm sub with 260 watts RMS in single-channel mode. Boston Acoustics' Q-Tune technology lets you bump up your bass, whether you're running a subwoofer or not. The inputs feature special noise-cancellation circuitry that ensures clean reproduction of your music all the way through to your speakers. You'll find all connections and adjustment controls recessed on one side of the amp, for a neat installation and easy adjustment. Variable high- and low-pass filters let you tune the amplified signal so your system can sound its best. An optional wired remote control gives you the power to tweak your subwoofer's level from the front seat. Product Highlights:2-channel car amplifier80 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (130 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms)260 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)CEA-2006 compliantvariable high- and low-pass filter (50-200 Hz, 12 dB/octave)Q-Tune technology switchable bass boost (6 dB at 45 Hz)optional wired remote subwoofer level controlSymmetrical Signal Technology (SST) uses asymmetrical balanced inputs for noise cancellationfrequency response: 10-50K Hzpreamp and speaker-level inputsfuse rating: 30A x 18-gauge power and ground leads recommended wiring and hardware not included with amplifier11-3/4"W x 2-3/8"H x 8-9/16"Dwarranty: 2 yearsOur 60-day money-back guarantee My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.

Pretty nice Amp. It is easy to install, easy to adjust, and visually pleasing. Provides plenty of low end for my 4 door Altima while set at roughly 75% gain on a ported 10" Boston sub, in a ported Boston box. Pros: Simplicity, power, clarity (Sub), and price. Cons: Kind of large, adjustment screws/knobs a bit cheesy. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great amp Written By Matt C, Ellington, CT on Saturday, January 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This amp rocks. Plain and simple. I don't think this could be a better value. I have it running bridged to one single 12 inch sub, with the amp gain up about 75% of the way. The sub BANGS, and the sound quality is fantastic. Great amp, no complaints. Pros: Great value, small size, excellent performance Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No Clean power Written By Anonymous, Columbus Ohio on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent amp powering hertz component speakers. No distortion , just clean power . I'm not hearing things in my music I couldn't hear before. Too bad Boston Ascoutic is getting out of the car audio business , they built some of premium products through out the years. Pros: Clean power , solid design 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No GTA-802 AMP Written By T, Ft Myers on Sunday, July 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Using a pair of 80 watt Alpine speakers, this AMP has made the my system sound great. If you are considering boosting your system, I recommend the Amp. Very easy to install, not to large, fits under the passenger seat. Pros: Great AMP, makes great sound. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Slow at first but better now Written By ED, MD on Thursday, June 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Had some issues with this amp overheating in my Camry. I have it pushing one JL 10 sub. I drive for about 1 hour to work so the amp would cut off around the 50 minute mark of my travel. Very frustrating. So I would have to keep the amp low which was not good for the 300 RMS sub that I have. What seemed to solve the issue is getting a cap for my system. Now the amp is rocking my sub with plenty of power. No cutting off now. I have one other amp pushing some infinity components so nothing to powerful in the car. But very happy now. Pros: My Sub hits hard now. Cons: Had to get a cap to keep the amp from overheating. Was this review helpful? Yes No Solid Amp Written By Anonymous, Midland, Tx on Sunday, March 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall I was happy with this amp. It drives a 300rms Sony 12" Sub pretty good. Even with the gain turned almost all the way up the sound is still very clean and distortion free. This amp looks really nice under my back seat. The hookups are all on one side and recessed. The are also angled down slightly. This made for a very clean looking installation. Pros: 2yr Warranty. Low Distortion. Installed Appearance Cons: Leaves me wanting just a hair more power. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Boston Acoustics GTA-802 Written By Mike, Baltimore on Saturday, February 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Perfect Amp! Wanted to add a sub woofer to the factory Bose system in my car and it powers 2 "12 MTX perfectly. Had to turn the volume over 25...now its slammin at 5. Sound out the subs is clean when the hatch opens. Pros: Price Size Was this review helpful? Yes No Impressive for the price Written By Brian, Tallahassee, FL on Friday, February 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was very surprised that I found an amplifier made by Boston that I can afford. I did not think twice about getting it because I know Boston Acoustics would not put there name on something unless they were proud of it. I bought this to replace my MTX terminator amp that was driving my Rockford 12. I am really tired of everyone writing reviews about subs and amps with a focus on "how hard it hits". I could make an amplifier in my garage that "Hits Hard" and rattles my trunk off. Let focus on how it sounds, after all this is a speaker right? I definitely noticed a difference in the sound quality of this vs. my old MTX. (they are very close in price) The Boston amp sounds cleaner with less unnecessary notes. The continuously variable crossover helps immensely leaving those notes above 80 or so hz to the woofers. I find myself wanting to drive my car just to listen to music. I would recommend this amp to anyone looking to power a sub with good clean sound, and sadly I guess I have to say it wont disappoint those folks looking to rattle my review mirror while your stopped next to me at a red light. Pros: Variable Crossover, Plenty of power 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Value Written By Zack, Columbus, OH on Monday, January 30, 2012 I was a little skeptical due to the LOW price but I knew Boston makes quality products (I have the Soundware 5.1 Home Theater and LOVE it). I had this amp bridged mono to my Boston G210 ported sub enclosure and it HITS HARD. I wasn't expecting too much from one 10 inch sub and an 80x2 amp....WRONG. Great product, great price, great customer service. Pros: Value - Styling - Power Cons: None so far Was this review helpful? Yes No excellent amplifier Written By Adrian, Houston, TX on Sunday, April 17, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I only gave this amp a 4/5 because i believe 5/5 rating is theoretically impossible, unless of course the amp is made of unobtainium. This amp gives my Focal 165VR components more than enough clean power. It truly makes those speakers "come alive.". In fact it would not be hard to believe that this amp's output is underrated. One can not expect an entry level amp to be perfect though, it gets pretty warm during heavy usage, but nothing to really be concerned about. Once again Boston Acoustics has provided outstanding sound quality to those of us who don't want to go bankrupt in the process. 9 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Wow Written By Steve, San Antonio, Tx on Tuesday, March 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this amp to run my JL Audio W1 12" subwoofer and hits beautifully. Turn the Hertz all the way down 25 and the gain to about 3/4 with bass boost on and hits like no other. Great price as well.

i know that the mac world is gaga over quicksilver. i think it's half just the normal mac fanaticism, but i know that quicksilver has some nice features - i'm very happy to implement them all in F+R in time, just let us know which features are wanted.
As a dual-platform user, the things I miss most from Quicksilver are, roughly in order:
1. Pre-searching/caching. Quicksilver is INSTANT, even on my slow PowerBook. FARR is not, even on my 2GB Athlon X2 4600+, even just limited to Start Menu and a few app folders.
2. Adaptive sorting. QS learns which items I select and moves them to the top.
3. Better selection UI. The large print on QS, combined with the fact that it pre-selects the most likely option, means I can launch apps with few keystrokes and no real brainpower: "F F <enter>" always gets firefox. With FARR, I have to look at the cluttered display, find the app, and move to the number keys - and if I've added a new app, the old numbers change.
That's really all I miss; I don't use any of the fancy QS plugins, deep-searching, alternate actions, etc. Unfortunately, #1 and #2 require some pretty hefty infrastructure changes that I think you've said can't really be done before FARR 3, so I'm always keeping my eyes out for a temporary substitute.

Comments about KinderBoard Children's Learning Keyboard:
I had been searching for a large-key keyboard for a while, and finally, finally found one on Brookstone...my all-time favorite place to shop. I originally bought this for the grandkids, but love it so much I am keeping it all to myself. You should see my desktop - it's colorful and fun. I will come back near Christmas-time and get the grandkids one of their own, but until then, I am sooooo happy.

The capacity crowd at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds erupted when Canadian Women's National Team midfielder Diana Matheson converted on a penalty kick awarded in the 87th minute of the Washington Spirit's home opener against the Western New York Flash.
The goal clinched a 1-1 tie, Washington's second straight to start the National Women's Soccer League's inaugural season.
But the fans weren't shy about their love for Flash forward and reigning FIFA World Player of the Year Abby Wambach, either. Wambach spent two stints with the Washington Freedom, from 2002-03 in the Women's United Soccer Association and Women's Professional Soccer in 2009-10.
Appreciation for women's professional soccer was in the air Saturday, on a historical night. It was the first NWSL game played on the pristine SoccerPlex field.
Though the facility's capacity is listed at 4,500, 4.569 spectators piled in for Saturday's game — there are areas for fans to gather without assigned seating. And they were treated to a highly entertaining and competitive contest.
"It was an exciting game. This is the beginning of the Spirit, as far as being home. And we're getting soccer back into [Washington] D.C.," Spirit coach Mike Jorden said.
Added Flash coach Aaran Lines: "I was very impressed with the tournament. To sell out, for a brand new franchise, it's great for the league and incredible for the women's game."
The Spirit (0-0-2) picked up their second point of the season after tying Boston by the same score in last week's season opener. It was the Flash's (0-1-1) first.
The NWSL is an eight-team league organized and administered by the U.S. Soccer Federation.
Heading into Saturday's contest, Washington was among six teams tied for second place behind the Sky Blue FC (New York/New Jersey), which earned three points in a season opening win.
Washington took initiative early and controlled play for first 20 minutes of Saturday's contest. The Spirit were awarded five corner kicks to the Flash's none in the first half.
Matheson and former Freedom midfielder Lori Lindsey combined well in the middle, and with Laurel native Tiffany McCarty up top. the Spirit created some scoring chances. Jorden said quicker feeds and speedier play in the final third might have helped capitalize on some of those opportunities.
After a high-energy start, the Spirit slowed toward the end of the first half and the Flash brought momentum into the second. After pressuring much of the second half, Western New York capitalized in the 85th minute on a restart at midfield. Samantha Kerr snuck a header near post to break open a game that seemed destined to end in a scoreless tie.
New York finished with 12 shots, five on goal. Washington tallied five of its seven shots in the first half.
Jorden made some alterations to his lineup Saturday to accommodate the size, strength and athleticism of Wambach. Midfielder Tori Huster was moved to the central defense. Jorden commended her ability to manage Wambach.
Huster credited her fellow defenders — USWNT offensive-minded back Ali Krieger, Robyn Gayle and Kika Toulouse — with supporting her mission.
"It was a little scary, I guess. [Wambach] is the best player in the world in the box. But I know the girls around me would cover me. If I went up and didn't win a ball and she flicked it the other way, the girls were there to help me," Huster said. It was a counterattack following Kerr's goal that led to Washington's penalty kick. Brittany Taylor tackled Spirit forward Jasmyn Spencer, who came off the bench in the second half, before she could get a shot off in the box.
Matheson rocked a right-footed kick inside the left post to secure the tie.
Goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris was a main reason Washington was in a position to tie Saturday. She came up with four incredible saves on close-range shots, one off the foot of Wambach.
Washington will next play against Sky Blue FC on Saturday at the SoccerPlex.
"I think [the crowd] surpassed our expectations. All the teams are trying to figure out who they are and find their identities. Every game is going to be tough until the teams settle in and that's true for us, too," Matheson said.
Walter Johnson High School graduate Caroline Miller entered the game as a substitute.
