Latin America
Rivalries And Infighting Could Follow In Wake Of Chavez's Death
Originally published on Tue March 5, 2013 6:20 pm
Joining us now to talk about what comes next is NPR's Tom Gjelten. He's covered Latin America for us.
And, Tom, Hugo Chavez, such a dominating figure in Venezuela. What happens now in the immediate aftermath of his death?
TOM GJELTEN, BYLINE: Well, Audie, as we just heard in that report from Juan Forero, the problem in Venezuela is that Chavez dominated the political scene, the government so much that it's hard to see how he can be replaced easily. However, he has been sick for quite a while now, and we really haven't heard from him since December.
He designated his vice president, Nicolas Maduro, as his successor. And under the Venezuelan constitution, Maduro will now take office and will call for new elections within 30 days. And the fact that Chavez designated the vice president, Maduro, as his successor, and also the fact that there will be some sympathy for Chavez in the aftermath of his death would suggest that probably Maduro will win those elections and go on.
CORNISH: And the challenges for the long term?
GJELTEN: Well, in the long term, as Juan also suggested, will be very difficult. Maduro does not have Chavez's charisma. He does not have his populist support. And Venezuela, right now, has huge economic problems, huge problems of violence.
And there's also another matter, which is that Chavez was all-powerful. There are now more than one person who could move in to fill the void left by his death. Maduro was just one. There's the president of the National Assembly, a guy by the name of Diosdado Cabello, who also has aspirations for leadership. So we could see in the months ahead, not probably in the short term, we could see some rivalries and some infighting.
CORNISH: And, of course, the U.S. relationship, obviously a rocky one, so - and just today, the Venezuelan vice president announced that a U.S. Embassy official was expelled from the country.
GJELTEN: In fact, the vice president also said - accuse the United States of having infected Hugo Chavez with that cancer, and therefore being responsible for his death.
Clearly, Maduro is trying to sort of reclaim this hostility toward the United States. But one thing we should point out, Audie, just in November, the assistant secretary of state for Latin America, Roberta Jacobson, had a phone conversation with Nicolas Maduro. There have been contacts between the United States and Maduro. And there is hope, at least on the U.S. side, and I was given to believe on the Venezuelan side as well, that there might be some cooperation going forward.
CORNISH: NPR's Tom Gjelten looking at what's ahead for Venezuela, now that president Hugo Chavez has died.
Tom, thank you.
GJELTEN: You bet. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I am new at mig welding. My latest problem is that the .035 fluxcore mig wire will not go through the Miller .035 tips --- they will bind up !
I am using Blueshield LA T-14 and Unifil 2 , E71T-GS fluxcore .035 welding wire , and have Miller .035 tips. Have shown the problem to my welding store staff but have not received a answer for that problem.The Miller rep for my area tells me that I should be using a larger size tip for welding with fluxcore wire. I should use maybe .045 tips for .035 fluxcore wire. When I first bought that MM 175 , I used a roll of .035 fluxcore wire with .035 tip , and did not seem to have the problem I have now .Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong , or if there is a size change for different welding wire or maybe tips ? Maybe a different size in wire diameter for different wire brands ?
Woud appreciate your assistance with this problem -- it has me stumped !

mig welding wire and tip problems
Some fluxcore wire isn't perfectly round like solid wire because of how it is made. It starts out flat and then is shaped into the round after the flux is added. So you may need a bigger tip and you don't have too many size options over .035...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Agreed. I've never needed a bigger tip for those sizes of FC wires, but I have run them through the next size up when I didn't have the correct one. Give it a shot.
check the drive wheels tension, if you go to tight you can flatten the wire. stay as loose as you can get away with, or go up a size.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. firstname.lastname@example.com

Along the wire, tip, feed line, another question
Good Day,
I am also new to the craft and am currently using .023 wire and 75/25 in a MM150. I have changed the liner to work with the .023 per my local arcet's instruction and tips as well. I've noticed if the gun cable has too much of a flex in it the wire dissolves back to the tip due to feed stoppage. I've adjusted the feed rolls with marginal results. Have any of you observed this and how is it minmalized? Thanks in advanceJeff
Millermatic 150
Fun For Now, I was thinking the same thing as you, Overtightened drive rolls.
However I have very little experience with flux core.
How to adjust drive rolls is to feed wire out of the tip, when it gets to the point where you can barely stop the wire while pinching it between your fingers you know your there.
If you cant stop it your to tight.

You will probably have to stay with .035 tip
The next size of common tip is .045 which is probably way to big for the wire. I have used the .035 Hobart, Lincoln, and Weldmark flux-cored wire and never needed a bigger tip. Is your tension adjustment too high? Maybe the wire is being flattened too much by the drive roll, which is a common problem with flux-core. I have a MM 175 and had a Lincoln 3200 (125 from Home Depot).
replying about .025 wire....expect a lot of bird nesting if there is much of a bend, even in a 10 foot gun. I tried to stay with .030 wire in my Lincoln 3200/125 as it couldn't burn off .035 solid wire very well and .025 is not very rigid and requires high feed speed on anything over about 16 guage.

Sounds like they just wanted to sell a liner.
get the tip hot and dip it in some welding gell. i would still take a close look at the wire to see if its getting deformed. run some out and look close at it.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. firstname.lastname@example.com

You could give a set of knurled rollers a try, they will feed flux core and other similar wire types very effectively with minimal drive roll tension. It made a night and day difference when we swapped our metal core machine at work over to knurleds drives from v-groove drive rolls.
I would also try taking your gun out and blowing out the liner, guide tubes, etc. with compressed air, if you haven't already. I've seen some of those little dust bunnies grow big enough to almost stop the wire from feeding. (Our shop is just a tad dirty. )

Bulk Biopellets By chcuk on 8/15/2015chcuk would recommend this product to a friendThe BioPellets worked great. My son and I have used these several times.
BE CAREFUL!! By James on 4/17/2015James would recommend this product to a friendDosed the recommended amount: 1 cup per 50 gallons. I dosed 2 cups for my 100gal tank. Day 5 I came home from work in the morning and saw my tank was extremely cloudy (normally crystal clear water column). I noticed a bad odor coming from the sump area. I discovered my Green Bird Wrasse had jumped from the tank, and a few hours later my Rusty Angel was dead on it's side.
Bio Pellets will cause I major drop in available O2 levels in your tank. BE VERY CAREFUL with these pellets. DO NOT start off with the recommended dosage. I would start with 1/4th of the dose. Also, make sure you have a VERY GOOD skimmer to remove the increased skimmate from these pellets. I have stopped running my reactor and hope that when I get home in the morning I don't have anymore dead fish.
Not sure By Brandon on 4/9/2015Brandon wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI've used TLF pellets with good results. These BRS pellets are larger and seem to be less dense. I'm having a floating issue with a small % of them. The rest of them won't settle down to my satisfaction. The tend to hover in the middle of my reactor. Time will tell!
good product By subie on 2/22/2015subie would recommend this product to a friendWorks good for nitrate so far..
Good so far By David L on 12/22/2014David L would recommend this product to a friendI was sent the BRS brand of bio pellets after having issues with TLF brand floating and clumping. I had no issues with the BRS brand from day one. Now lets see if the bio pellets help reduce my nitrates.
Good Product By EZ on 12/1/2014EZ would recommend this product to a friendI've tried a few different types of biopellets and I seem to keep coming back to these. They tumble well, and don't seem to clump like other do. I have them running in two TLF reactors run in series which holds just about 1000 ml of pellets. They seem to work pretty well as i have never had a nitrate or phosphate issue but that's all purely anecdotal.
Excellent By Michael on 10/29/2014Michael would recommend this product to a friendPerfect match for my Reef Octopus 3000 reactor.
GOOD By Marta on 10/29/2014Marta would recommend this product to a friendWorks good for nitrate reduction but I dont see it helping with phosphates in my tank.
disapointed By joesreeftank on 10/24/2014joesreeftank wouldn't recommend this product to a friendNot sure of the quality of the pellets just yet, my concern is when i received my order the jar was open and the pellets spilled all over, I emailed BRS and received no response.
Amazing By Paul on 10/22/2014Paul would recommend this product to a friendThese tumble great in my little media reactor and keep nitrates and phosphates at 0, what more can you ask for? I only got the 500ml bag for my 30 gallong nano with a mix of coral and live rock and have had no issue with algae blooms and such like others. Just follow the directions, and if you have an established tank, start with very little so you don't get a big bloom. It's all in the directions.

T-Wolves Ticket Info
Timberwolves head coach Rick Adelman led the team to a 31-51 record last season, which was just 12th in the Western Conference. It was Adelman's third season in the Twin Cities and the ninth straight season that the TWolves missed the playoffs. In all fairness, Minnesota did have its fair share of injuries throughout last season. Their most talented player, Kevin Love missed a good chunk of the Timberwolves games.
Love broke his hand in mid-October and missed the first five weeks of the season. Then in early January Love refractured his hand in a game against the Nuggets. He would not return to the floor following the second injury. Without Love on the floor, the Wolves are a completely different team. Double-double machine Kevin Love is one of the best players in the league and a match-up nightmare. With a healthy Love on the court next season, the Timberwolves should be a much better team.
Don't miss any of the action at Target Center this season when you order Minnesota Timberwolves tickets from GoTickets. From Ricky Rubio to Kevin Love there is plenty of reason to get excited about TWolves basketball. So what are you waiting for? Order your Timberwolves tickets today!

Comments On Apr 12, 2015:First off I love ordering from Rocky Mountain MC. I ordered the pipe Friday night and it was on my door step Saturday morning, standard shipping is always lightning quick as I live in idaho and they always ship products immediately. As for the pipe, I bought it to replace my pro circuit forest service approved pipe. All in all it's 1000 times better. It's still pretty quite, I believe it has a spark arrestor as well, has a deep throaty sound that is music to any two stroke lovers ears, and best of all it wakes up the power band a bit. The pro circuit platinum 2 pipe with this silencer is a deadly combination that I'll use for a long time.

Comments On Feb 24, 2015:In my 25+ years riding 2 strokes, Pro Circuit 304 silencers are better than an aftermarket pipe. The longer 304 allows the power to rev out longer which is better for outdoor, faster motocross use. As long as your bike is jetted correctly for the stock pipe, there are no changes needed for the 304. True, effective, and simple bolt on power.

Integrate with Your Infrastructure
VMware Solutions Support Your Overall X86 IT Infrastructure
Build a virtual infrastructure that integrates well with your existing technology investments. VMware vSphere ® is the most broadly deployed and trusted virtualization platform in the world. With more than 50,000 technology and consulting partners, VMware has created a strong support ecosystem that gives customers peace of mind knowing that VMware solutions integrate well with their existing hardware and software investments.
See how VMware can help you:
- Get the broadest hardware support.
- Access the largest number of guest operating systems.
- Gain access to broad application support.
- Leverage our partner support programs.
Benefit from Broad Hardware Support
VMware works closely with system OEMs and peripheral manufacturers to certify VMware vSphere Hypervisor with their hardware—usually delivering certification on the day of first release. See the VMware Certified Compatibility Guides for full details on hardware and device support.
While other virtualization platform vendors may claim they don't need a hardware compatibility list because they use generic general purpose operating system drivers, this claim is not accurate. For example, Citrix XenServer has a hardware compatibility list (HCL) that is much smaller than VMware's. Microsoft achieves broad hardware support because they use generic Windows Server drivers for Hyper-V deployments. But those Windows drivers have traditionally been the major root cause of Windows instabilities, so there is a clear trade-off with reliability.

Prostate Cancer and PSA Screening
If you could find a screening test able to detect a potentially deadly cancer, it would be hailed as a lifesaver and widely recommended, wouldn't it? Not necessarily. The fact that the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test detects prostate cancer in its early stages is undisputed. But whether it should be used as a routine screening tool is one of the most controversial issues in men's health today.
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located under the bladder and next to the rectum. It provides about a third of the fluid that propels sperm through the urethra and out of the penis during sex. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), about 240,000 American men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. That makes it the second most common cancer in men after skin cancer. About 30,000 men die of the disease annually, which ranks prostate cancer second only to lung cancer in cancer deaths among American men.
PSA is a protein made by the prostate cells. The PSA test measures the amount of PSA in the blood.
PSA screening has revolutionized the way doctors diagnose prostate cancer over the past two decades. The PSA test can find prostate cancer earlier than the digital rectal exam, the other major test for the disease. Because of the popularity of the PSA test, the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer has climbed dramatically, but experts disagree about whether this is beneficial.
Here's an overview of the controversy. Prostate cancer usually grows slowly and most often affects older men. This means that detecting it early may not necessarily lead to a longer life. Many men will die years later of other causes, often without ever even realizing they had prostate cancer. That fact can make it difficult to choose treatment, which can have side effects that include impotence, incontinence, or both. The problem is that there is no foolproof way to know if a man will suffer from prostate cancer.
How doctors use the PSA to find prostate cancer
A doctor may consider the level of PSA, how the levels change over time, and your age in deciding whether to recommend a biopsy. A biopsy is the removal of a small amount of prostate tissue. If the biopsy tests positive for cancer, the tissue is evaluated to help determine how advanced the cancer is, how likely it is to spread, and which treatment options might be best. Although these tests provide a great deal of information, none available today can provide a definitive answer on how likely it is that a particular cancer will spread in a particular person.
For use as a screening tool, the PSA test has drawbacks. First, the test is not always accurate. It fails to find prostate cancer in some men who have the disease. Not all prostate cancers cause the PSA to increase. Another issue is that higher than average results usually trigger follow-up testing and biopsies. But many of the results turn out not to be cancer. Often, the high PSA level is due to noncancerous conditions that are common in older men. These conditions include benign prostatic enlargement and prostatitis, an inflammation of the prostate. Even if cancer is detected, it's often not clear if it requires treatment right away. But knowing they have cancer and not treating it causes anxiety in most men. This may lead some men to get treatment even if they may not need it. Because of these varied results, the test doesn't mean a clean bill of health if it's negative and can often cause concern if it's positive.
What experts say about the PSA test
Most scientific and medical organizations, such as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the American College of Physicians, the National Cancer Institute, ACS, the American Association of Family Practitioners, and the American College of Preventive Medicine, do not recommend routine screening for all men.
However, the individual recommendations vary between groups. For example, the American Urological Association recommends doctors offer baseline screening beginning at age 40 for men who are well-informed about the risks and benefits of testing and who have at least a 10-year life expectancy. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends that men and their doctors start discussing the pros and cons of screening beginning at age 40. The ACS recommends that men and their doctors discuss the pros and cons of screening before deciding, beginning at age 50 for those at average risk and starting at age 45 for African-American men and those with a strong family history. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, on the other hand, now recommends against routine prostate cancer screening because the task force believes the benefit does not outweigh the harm.
Those in favor of regular PSA testing note that the mortality rate for prostate cancer is declining. Those against it say no hard evidence exists to attribute this to PSA screening.
To learn if screening saves lives, the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial was established. The results, published in 2009, found that annual screening with PSA and DRE detected more prostate cancers, but that it did not lower the death rate from prostate cancer. A similar European study found that screening lowered the risk for death slightly, but that about 1,050 men would need to be screened (and 37 treated) in order to prevent one death from prostate cancer.
How to decide if you should get a PSA test
If you're deciding whether to have PSA screening, ask your doctor about the pros and cons of testing, and weigh your feelings about having the test and how you might feel about treatment and its possible consequences if cancer is found.
Also weigh your risk factors when deciding whether to have PSA screening. These are the major risk factors for prostate cancer:
Age. The rate of prostate cancer rises in older men. Bear in mind, though, that this doesn't mean younger men are immune. In fact, younger men may be more likely to benefit from treatment if cancer is found.
Race. Men of all races must be concerned about prostate cancer, but African-Americans have higher rates. And Asian men have a lower-than-average risk.
Family history. Prostate cancer tends to run in families. Fathers, sons, and brothers of patients have twice the risk of men with no affected relatives. Men with two or more affected close relatives are at even higher risk. Men whose female relatives have a high incidence of breast cancer may have a higher-than-average risk of developing the disease.
Don't overlook the fact that PSA screening is done to find prostate cancer before symptoms develop. If you have any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor:
A change in your regular urination pattern
Blood in your urine
Pain in your pelvis, spine, hips, or ribs
These symptoms may also be present with noncancerous diseases and should be checked by a doctor.
How to get the best results if you get a PSA
Most PSA tests measure total PSA, which is the amount that is floating free in the blood plus the amount bound to blood proteins. The free PSA test gives a ratio of PSA found free-floating in the blood to the total PSA. Comparing results from the two tests helps doctors rule out cancer in men whose PSA is mildly elevated due to other causes.
If you have a borderline PSA (between four and 10), you should ask your doctor about this test. Research is also being done on other ways to make the PSA test more accurate and to find other types of blood markers that could be used.
To improve the accuracy of the PSA test, many doctors recommend that men abstain from sex for two days before the test. Also, tell your doctor if you are taking any of these drugs, as they may affect test results:
Proscar or Propecia (finasteride)
Avodart (dutasteride)
Saw palmetto, an herb used by some men to treat benign prostatic enlargement
In the absence of universal agreement on screening guidelines, a man should weigh his personal views and discuss these with his doctor.

Valiant for Truth
Posts by: Kim Riddlebarger
When people speak of heaven, they often use images of their favorite places (i.e., the beach, or Yosemite), or they describe some sort of disembodied existence where their immortal soul will finally be set free from the limitations imposed upon it by the human body.
The biblical account of the redemption of our fallen race takes many twists and turns throughout the course of redemptive history. But the story comes to a glorious resolution when we come to the final chapter of the story.
The Reformed understanding of the Lord's Supper is grounded in an important distinction between the sign and seal (bread and wine), the thing signified (forgiveness through his blood, the "blood of the covenant"), and a sacramental union between the two (our Lord's words "this is my body").
Before our Lord Jesus ascended into heaven, he left his disciples with the following command: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
Although any discussion of the role of the sacraments in the Christian life seems too "catholic" for many evangelical Christians, the sacraments do play a very important role throughout the New Testament.

What is meant by Full Frame
August 23, 2007, 01:34:31 PM »
I have put myself on the beginners board because of the level of my questions?
I admit I am a point 'n shooter. However, on a recent vacation my brother lent me his new Nikon D40. Much fun. But based on recent Nikon product updates (I saw on dpreview) Nikon now has some Full Frame models selling for big bucks. What does Full Frame mean? Did the D40 (much cheaper than the new Nikons just out this week) have something less than full frame? Does this relate to the sensor size? If so, does this mean that full frame has a sensor as big as 35mm film transparency. I am confused?
Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Exactly. A full frame sensor is the same size as 35mm film: 24x36mm.

Hi There:
Well, '35mm' cameras were called such because the film size for each image is 24x36mm and I guess someone decided 35mm sounded better than 36mm. So during the age of film we all got used to 35mm cameras. There were other film formats as well, ranging from the 110 pocket cameras and the 126 Kodaks all the way up to huge sheets of film for 4x5 (inches), 8x10 and even 11x14 cameras. Later APS film cameras also came into being and they offered certain advantages for everyday users.
Now focal length for a lens is directly related to film (or sensor) size. What we call a 'normal' lens means that the image on the film is roughly in proportion to what we see with our eye. If the image is magnified, we call it a telephoto lens. If the image appears to be stretched out, we call it a wide-angle lens. For 35mm lenses a 'normal' lens is considered to be 45-55 mm. For 120 film cameras, a 'normal' lens is around 80 mm.
Now when digital cameras came out we no longer had film, but we did have a rectangular sensor of specific dimensions. Most digital - 35mm type - cameras on the market today use a sensor that is smaller than the old 35mm film size. The Canon EOS-1D Mark III for example uses a sensor that is 18.7x28.7mm. A 'full-frame' camera in digital terms is one like the Canon 5D, 1Ds Mark II or the new Nikon that has a larger sensor that is the full 24x36mm in size.
Since people are used to considering focal lengths for lenses in 35 mm terms (a 50mm lens being 'normal'), the smaller sensors on most digital cameras introduce a crop factor of about 1.3 making the 50mm lens into a 65mm lens equivalent. Part of what we're dealing with is using archaic words to describe a new technology. This gets complicated because film is still around but more so because there are no longer just a few defined sensor sizes as there was with film.
As to why a 'full-frame' sensor is important, there are others on this list who can answer much better than I can, but basically with a digital sensor what matters is not only the total number of receptor sites on the sensor but the size of each receptor site as well. In theory at least one could pack 50 million receptors on a sensor the size of your baby fingernail, but such a sensor wouldn't be of much use.
If your mind is attuned to beauty, you find beauty in everything.

Mike I think 35mm was (is) the actual width of the film. 24x36 is the size of image placed thereupon (running lengthwise, of course).

35MM film is called that because it's half the width of 70MM film, which was common in Europe - then it was cut in half to bring about the 35MM camera - the first Leica rangefinder.

A biggor sensor will gernerally
-Make the camera bigger and brighter to look through but heavier and more bulky
-long telephotos will be much bigger/more expensive
-wides are wider/cheaper
-Tends to be less noisy for a given resolution becuase of the bigger pixels
Renders a slightly different perpective ie less depth of fireld for a given angle of view and aperture
(people will ague about this but the upshot is less depth of field IMO)
Which means 'creamier portraits' and less DOF for landscape or buildings
In terms of the nikon I think it is great news.
I cant focus a small camera like the D200 manually my widest lens has been 14 ('21mm view') which is expensive and very easy to damage
The big sensor and view will enable me to focus manually and go back to a 20-35 as a wide lens the 14 will become ultra wide
As a pro portrait shooter nikon got within an inch of losing me before this announcement
Oh another thing - smaller sensor cameras with lenses built for big sensor cameras use the 'sweet spot' of the lens and tend to get good performance with less problems at the edges
DX lenses cover small nikons, others cover both
Hope that helps

Full Frame means several things in the DSLR world.
Originally (and most reasonably) "full frame" means a DSLR whose sensor is in the same format that the lenses used on it are designed for, as opposed to using a sensor smaller than the lens format and thus imposing a crop on the images produced by the lenses (as all DSLR's did before the Contax DSLR, followed by the Kodak 14/n and Canon 1Ds).
I call this "non-cropping".
For example
- a Canon 1Ds with its 24x36mm sensor used with 35mm format lenses is full frame but a Canon 1D with these lenses has a 1.3x crop.
- a 645 medium format camera and lenses with a 645 film back is full frame, but with a 36x48mm sensor in a digital back, it has a 1.2x crop.
- a 4/3 format camera with 4/3 format lenses is also full frame, in this sense, but with 35mm lenses used through an adaptor, imposes a 2x crop.
Note: no-one ever said that medium format cameras are "more than full frame" due to having a larger than 24x36mm format, and I never heard anyone call APS film cameras "non full-frame" or "cropping", because they had lenses that matched their format.
The second common meaning is the 24x36mm format that was once common in the era of film cameras. This is a hang-over from the days when the only full frame (no-crop) digital cameras were in that format, before DX, EF-S and 4/3 lenses existed.
I call this "35mm format" or "24x36mm".

While we're on the topic, what exactly is 4/3 and why is Olympus championing this format? Is it merely an aspect ratio? What are the supposed advantages?

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=135184\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
The idea behind the 4/3 format is that cameras and lenses will be smaller/lighter/cheaper.
For example, a popular telephoto zoom is 70-200. It is much cheaper to make a 35-100 mm f2.8 zoom for 4/3 than a equivalent 70-200 f 2.8 for a full-frame 35mm. "Cropped" sensors "seem" to loose out at wide angles, 16mm on full frame would need an equivalent of 8mm on 4/3, but since the 4/3 system is a completely new system the complexity of a 8mm lens is only the same as that of a 16mm lense as the mirror box is smaller (smaller sensor=smaller mirror=lens closer to sensor=less retrofocus design needed)
When the whole system is designed togeather the only two significant disadvantages of the smaller sensor are noise and view finder size/brightness.
I would guess that Olympus considered that with auto-focus getting better and better along with the live-view then the view finder becomes less critical and sensor noise seems to be getting better with each generation.

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=135184\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
4/3 is a format of roughly 13x17.3mm, with the obscure name 4/3" coming from the weird jargon of video formats, where it referred to a sensor of total size 13.5x18mm. (The actual image size is smaller since as with all sensors, some pixels around the edge are not used as part of the output image). It also happens to have a 4:3 aspect ratio, as all the traditional video formats did.
It is the format adopted by Olympus (and Panasonic) for DLSR's aimed at roughly the same market as Canon's EF (now 14.8x22.2mm: it has got slightly smaller over the years!), Nikon's DX (about 15.8x23.6mm), and the formats used by Fuji, Pentax and Sony (all the same as Nikon's DX).
I can only guess as to why Olympus chose this format while other SLR makers chose slightly larger ones, and my guess is that the others were interested in a good degree of backward compatibility with their existing lenses for 35mm film cameras, at least during the transition while new lenses in the new formats (EF-S, DX, etc.) were added, but Olympus had little use for such backward compatibility, since it had no auto-focus 35mm film lens system. It had only a rather old fashioned, manual focus, all mechanically coupled lens mount system, of little interest to most DSLR buyers.
So Olympus decided to start from scratch with a new format smaller than 35mm (like everyone else) but also a completely new lens mount designed for that format (rather than reusing an "oversized" 35mm format lens mount like everyone else) and a completely new lens system. Since the format size was chosen with no regard for backward compatibility, it is rather natural that it ended up a bit different from, and smaller than, the EF-S and DX choices: backward compatibility probably pulled the EF-S and DX formats up closer to the 24x36mm of 35mm. Nikon might have had a goal of doing everything with DX format, before going with 24x36mm for one high end model, and such a goal would have lead to choosing a larger format than needed only for the DSLR mainstream.
Olympus has I think indicated a goal of matching or exceeding the technical quality of 35mm film with the smallest feasible lenses and cameras, helped by changes like having the lens mount closer to the sensor than was needed with 35mm film SLR's which allowing smaller, lighter bodies.
For the size and weigh advantages, look at the E-410 (435g, including battery) and its kit lenses, the 14-42/3.5-5.6 (190g) and 40-150/4-5.6 (220g). Still bigger than most digital cameras (since most are fixed-lens digicams in far smaller formats) but smaller and lighter than other DSLRs and lenses covering the same FOV ranges.

Now you've pissed me off with your juvenile comments.
If you didn't want to hear the truth, then don't ask the freaking question.
Just so you understand, I'm not exactly a newbie when it comes to performance boats. I was racing inboard hydros at 125 MPH+ when I was nine years old. I drove for OMC as one of their factory drivers from 1959-1966. Carl Kiekhaefer, former president of Mercury Marine offered me the job in January 1967 that Reggie Fountain later took in August of that year. That was to drive at Lake X, which was Mercury's high performance test center.
Don Aronow, the founder of Cigarette, Magnum, Donzi, Blue Thunder, and a few other brands of performance boats was a very close personal friend of mine. I was in his shop in N. Miami Beach in 1974 when Doc McGue set the Miami to New York speed record. Up until about four years ago I worked with the dealer for Fountain Powerboats for Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina.
In short, I'm no stranger to performance boats and what goes into them.
The "hokie" seat arrangement you described sounds like something you'd see on a 12' aluminum jon boat with an electric motor, not something with 600+ HP.

Just to clarify
By "safe, reliable, and strong material", I am just going to do the proper leg work on my part for determining which type diameter/wall thickness of aluminum tubing is needed to have the neccesary strength when coupled with a proper design.
Again, considering that the factory frame was 1/2x1"-ish plate bent into a closed oval, I see no reason that a tubular structure, made out of 3/4" DOM 3/16 wall tubing welded to a 1/4 top and bottom plate, would not provide a strong alternative with horizontal bracing on the sides, and cross braces on the rear. Since it will be exposed to salt water, 6061 will be that alloy of choice. The conduit was a random thought, you are correct, it has no place in a real structure.
Sundown, I'm glad you have the backround in this, and don't take my previous comment as an insult(if you do, fine) but your initial post, as well as its followup was neither constructive nor helpful towards my goal, which when posting in a forum, non-constructive posts usually lead to nothing more than useless banter.
And to sum this up-
Owner wanted frame build out of his material, as a box.
I didn't think it would work, so i posted here, thought confirmed.

Recipe by HALLIE_TORONTO
"Just what the name suggests. Melted cheese and sweet, gooey peanut butter is a delicious combo!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 slices
2 tablespoons
peanut butter
1 slice
Cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons
butter or margarine
OK, here's the deal. This is the best sandwich ever, but it has to be done right. There are 2 essential and 2 secondary things people are missing. Essential 1: real peanut butter - this means no sugar added (not sweetened factory goo) - it's just ground up peanuts (with maybe some salt and palm oil). Sweetened peanut butter spoils the bite of the cheese (see below). Essential 2: hot sauce - the sandwich is to be dipped in hot sauce. Not crazy habanero but-in-the-tub stuff, liquid-y hot sauce like Cholula or Tapatio. It provides essential softness and flavor. Secondary 1: sharp cheddar cheese only - preferably extra sharp, good cheddar (like Tillamook). The cheese has to compete with your good, real peanut butter. Secondary 2: whole wheat bread - with the powerful elements of real peanut butter, extra sharp cheddar, and hot sauce, white bread just can't hold its own. Enjoy! Convert your friends - they will be appreciative, eventually. Oh, and it goes great with a fresh-from-the-fridge Pabst tallboy.
Prof positive that college students have way too much time on their hands. I read this recipe and thought it sounded really bad, but I gave it a shot anyway. And it really wasn't that bad. Kind of like a really good Dr. Seuss book. I probably won't make it again but if you are feeling adventurous give it a shot.
I threw the sandwhich together, flipped it on my GeorgeForman grill for 5 minutes, rotated 45 degrees, 3 more minutes (gives it a nice diamond grill pattern) and done.

This actually is a great tasting sandwich. My kids and I love it BUT we don't ever use cheddar cheese. We always use american. I think for some of those who didn't like it, that might have made a difference. The cheddar is too harsh for this to me. Sliced american blends much better.
I'm not a fan of beef so this combo has been my stand-in for over 60 years. Also llike to add tomatoes, or deviled ham, or bacon. Both cheese AND peanut butter blend with everything, so why not experiment? Try it, you'll like it!!
I love these, I also eat peanut butter on my bologna sandwiches though (with mayo, cheese and peanut butter), people think I'm strange yes, I used American cheese (sandwich cheese) and it turned out great, I'm a peanut butter lover though, on waffles, pancakes..whatever!!
What an amazing disappearing act that my toddler played on this sandwich. I set it in front of her, she inspected it like a detective looking for clues, peeled the bread apart, sniffed, then took a tiny nibble. In the blink-of-an-eye I turned back, and the entire sandwich was gone! "It's in my tummy, Mommy!" she said, w/ a gooey-peanut-butter grin. OK, now onto what I think helped make it 5-stars (since Mommy made herself one too) - I used Whole Foods freshly-ground honey-roasted Peanut Butter, Jarslburg cheese, and honey-wheat bread. Bizarre combination = blissful comfort food.
Read the reviews and thought i'd take a chance. My kids love grilled cheese but didn't care for this at all. I appreciate going outside the box, though. Maybe next time.
It's easier to spread the butter one side of the first piece and slap it into the pan. Then spread the peanut butter on the slice of cheese and slap that on the bread in the pan. Then breat the second slice of bread and drop it, butter side up, on top of the peanut butter covered cheese. Bamo, done!

Jennings leading newest batch of NFL pass catchers
By Thomas George | NFL.com
Sometimes when he is home alone or when he needs a "let-out," Packers receiver Greg Jennings grabs one of his five bass guitars and twangs a song, maybe a gospel tune like "Praise Him In Advance." This son of a preacher at his charity golf tournament last summer was persuaded by Bears tackle Tommie Harris to leap on stage, pluck the guitar, tap the drums and croon a bit, too.
And Jennings gracefully moved from the strings to the sticks to the mic.
Jennings seems born to handle the big stage, whether it is an impromptu musical gig or catching a football in prime moments in front of thousands of maniacal fans and millions more watching on television. He is not intimidating in size (5-11, 198) for a receiver. Three others at his position (Santonio Holmes, Chad Jackson and Sinorice Moss) were selected well ahead of his slot (second round, 52nd overall) in the 2006 draft, when Jennings became the first-ever receiver drafted from Western Michigan.
Jennings has struck a tune, a resounding chord in only his third NFL season. He became a starter as a rookie. Last season he flashed on the national scene with that blinding, 82-yard touchdown grab in overtime in Green Bay's midseason, Monday night victory at Denver.
Last Sunday, he led all NFL receivers with 167 receiving yards in the Packers' victory at Detroit.
This receiver caught Brett Favre's 400th touchdown pass, Favre's 420th that tied Dan Marino's career mark and Favre's 421st that broke the record. Jennings also caught Aaron Rodgers' first career touchdown pass, an 11-yarder last season at Dallas.
Thus, Jennings, 24, is old school, new school.
A guy who married his wife, Nicole, who he has known since the fifth grade in Kalamazoo, Mich. A father of a 20-month-old daughter, Amya. An expecting father, with his new baby due in April.
A rooted player. A humble one. Yet, he's the marquee example of the NFL's new batch of resolute, explosive young receivers -- among them Denver's Brandon Marshall and Detroit's Calvin Johnson -- who are helping push the NFL passing game to astonishing levels.
"I am blessed, truly blessed by God with talent, and I am not going to take any credit for that," Jennings said. "I feel like I am one of the guys here who can make a difference in games and there are several other guys here in that category. I just try to be the best I can possibly be. I don't get into ranking me with other receivers in the NFL. I've never been into that and I won't start now. The most important thing to me is not being the best or even striving to be the best. It is giving 100 percent of me."
For Greg Jennings, that is proving more than ample.
He is averaging 25.3 yards per catch this season. Last season, he made six touchdown grabs of 40 or more yards. He has an enviable burst more than raw speed. It can be described in the way Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh used to talk about players who do not run blazing 40-yard sprint times: functional football speed. Walsh used to say: "I'll take the guy who has functional football speed in equipment more than the guy who runs fast in his shorts."
Most integral, Jennings often shows up when big plays are required. This player running free in a secondary with the ball in his hands is becoming a familiar site.
We can expect to see more when Dallas travels to Green Bay on Sunday night. The Cowboys enter having scored 41 points in defeating the Eagles. The Packers arrive having scored 48 in beating Detroit. The game will be played on Jennings' 25th birthday.
"I'd be lying if I said no," said Jennings about the special air and competition the Cowboys bring. "They do make a game different. All of the talk now is they are the team to beat. They are the popular pick to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. That gives you a little extra to shoot for, especially in our stadium. A little more excitement. Mix in our history with Dallas and it's even bigger.
"They have a mindset that they can score from anywhere. Their offense is set up for explosion. We have the same mindset."
Though Jennings has not talked to Favre since Green Bay's loss last season in the NFC Championship Game, he credits Favre for helping him develop that mindset. One of explosion. Of pressure applied by scoring points. He is appreciative for having a "a piece, a crumb" of Favre's Green Bay legacy. Appreciative of Favre "jump-starting" his career in the right direction.
Working with Favre was a dream job.
Now, working with Rodgers, Jennings has become part of the Packers' solution to life without Favre and to Rodgers' growth.
"Everyone here likes Aaron's personality off the field," Jennings said. "His off-the-field personality is identical to his on the field. He wants to build relationships with players outside of football. And it's not just the marquee guys; there are guys on our team that the general fan never heard of that Aaron is close with. You have to work to be a leader? I think either you are or you are not. It's genuine or it isn't. Everybody here on this team feels the good vibe from Aaron."
Jennings felt it from the start, improvising on the route and the catch last season in Rodgers' first career score. And then when Rodgers ran the ball vs. Minnesota on opening night for his first Lambeau Field score and initial Lambeau Leap, it was Jennings who secured the ball and saved it for Rodgers.
The Green Bay receivers last season led the league in yards after the catch with 2,294, which comprised 51.4 percent of the Packers' pass offense. The NFL average per team was 1,596 such yards. The current crew includes Donald Driver, James Jones, Ruvell Martin and Jordy Nelson. It is a close-knit, card-playing, unselfish group, Jennings says.
"We have to be one of the top groups in the league because not many teams have the depth we have," Jennings said. "Our so-called No. 5 receiver could be a No. 1 receiver on other teams. There is no letdown among us. We expect big plays from each other. Any one of us can play any position and run any route at any given time."
Jennings likes the style of Holmes and New Orleans' Marques Colston.
This is the closest Jennings gets to singing his praises:
"I feel strongly about my confidence as a receiver. I can do whatever you ask a wide receiver to do."
Yes he can, says Ike Reese, a nine-year NFL linebacker who now hosts Ike At Night, a talk-radio show in Philadelphia.
"Jennings is a player who did not come out of college with a lot of fanfare but is playing with great confidence in big-game situations," Reese said. "He is going to make a nice combo with Rodgers."
These are the other young NFL receivers who have grabbed Reese's attention:
Calvin Johnson: "It's hard not to like this big fella. That tall, that big, that fast -- you can't stop that. There is nothing you can do with that."
Roddy White: "I played with him in Atlanta when he was a rookie and he struggled with the learning curve. He has all the physical tools and you are starting to see them now. He loves to block. He was a 1,000-yard receiver on a terrible team last year. That says a lot."
Brandon Marshall: "He is ridiculous. You get suspended the first game, come back for the first time and catch 18 balls? He has the whole package. What I like, he is a disciplined route runner. Very fluid. Chad Johnson used to be the best route runner in the league before he became Ocho Cinco. Now it's Brandon Marshall."
Toss in rookies DeSean Jackson of the Eagles and Eddie Royal of the Broncos, and the NFL passing game's infusion of effective, bold receivers continues to grow. Their performances are game-changing and more frequently decisive.
I'll take Jennings at the top of that list.
He is a perfect match for Green Bay, a city and people who openly wear values and honor connecting with a non-diva receiver in a league full of them who credits his parents, Greg and Gwen, with giving him a reliable foundation.
"Growing up the son of a minister was an advantage on my part," Jennings said. "I was taught right and morals and values. Knowing right from wrong was high on the totem pole and you'd better do right more than wrong. I was held accountable. It has paid dividends for me more than I could ever have imagined."
This fresh face, this player with a winning, bright smile has become an important glue for the Packers. The class he exhibited in the way he handled the Favre-Rodgers saga was noticed by his peers and by other NFL personnel around the league. Packers coach Mike McCarthy credited Jennings earlier this week for the way he approaches his work and for the work he produces.
Jennings credits Driver as a mentor, a teammate who "is on my hip and in my ear." When Packers fans see Jennings in the Green Bay community, they are surprised to find that he is so "small" and tells him he looks so much bigger on TV.
It is the stage.
He rises on it. He produces a striking melody on it.
That is what giving your humble best at all times, says Jennings, can do.

Merged thread... GJ is a special player already.
I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.

My bad, somehow never saw it!
Man... if you look at the 2006 NFL draft, it's only been 2 years, and they tell us to wait 3 before making judgements. Right now it looks more than rock solid. 2 OL starters (with Spitz being a player I think is going to step up big time this season), Jennings, Hawk, Blackmon, Jolly.... whew.

En español | The caller had offered a great deal. For a deposit of only $188, AARP member Tim Haynes of Chapin, S.C., saved 50 percent on a $1,000 Caribbean cruise. But months later, when he tried to reschedule the trip, he figured out that the pitchman was a crook, the cruise line didn't exist and he'd been scammed.
See also: Have a customer service complaint? Read this first.
With no company to challenge and the money trail cold, it was no longer a case for a consumer advocate, but rather the district attorney.
Of course, it's not Tim's fault that he was ripped off. Telemarketing fraud is a disease of the modern age, accounting for 19 percent of all fraud complaints reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2010. Many of those 84,075 victims, including Tim, could have better protected themselves against telephone fraud by remembering a few basic rules.
1. Don't Call Me. The first rule of telemarketing safety is to ignore pleas and pitches of anyone who calls you uninvited, including sales people, charities and even companies with whom you already do business. You have no way to confirm they are who they say they are. Don't rely on your caller ID, either. That can be faked.
2. Give Them Nothing. Fraudsters are hunting for information. Your best defense is to tell them nothing, and I mean nothing. If they try to confirm your name, don't tell them. If they ask if your spouse is home, don't reply. If they want to verify your address, hang up. Any bit of information you give to scammers, including even your name, can be a tool they use to part you from your money or otherwise harm you.

Rules Governing Maine State Residency
There are many factors that will be considered in determining residency for in-state tuition purposes. No one factor can be used to establish domicile, rather all factors and circumstances must be considered on a case-by-case basis. A domicile or residency classification assigned by a public or private authority neither qualifies nor disqualifies a student for UMS in-state status.
A student applying for admission to a degree program is classified as eligible, or not eligible, for in-state tuition at the time of acceptance to the University. A non-matriculated (non-degree) student is classified as eligible, or not eligible, for in-state tuition at the time of registration. The decision, made by the Chief Financial Officer, or other officials designated by the campus, shall be made based on information and documentation furnished by the student and other information available to the University. No student is eligible for in-state tuition classification until he or she has become domiciled in Maine, in accordance with University guidelines, before such registration. If the student is enrolled full-time in an academic program, as defined by the University, it will be presumed that the student is in Maine for educational purposes, and that the student is not in Maine to establish a domicile. A residence established for the purpose of attending a UMS campus shall not by itself constitute domicile. The burden will be on the student to prove that he or she has established a Maine domicile for other than educational purposes. An individual who has lived in the State of Maine, for other than educational purposes, one year prior to registration or application to a campus is considered an in-state student.
In general, members of the Armed Forces and their dependents will be granted in-state tuition during such periods of time as they are on active duty within the State of Maine or if their Military State of residency is Maine as evidenced by appropriate official documentation. A Maine resident who is absent from the State for military or full-time educational purposes will normally remain eligible for in-state tuition.
A student, spouse, or domestic partner of a student, who currently has continuous, permanent full-time employment in Maine before the student decides to apply for degree status at the University will be considered in-state for tuition purposes. A student who is dependent on his/her parent(s) and/or legally appointed guardian (or to whom custody has been granted by court order) is considered to have a domicile with the parent(s) for tuition purposes.
In-state tuition is not available to anyone who holds a non-immigrant U.S. visa. If an individual is not a domiciliary of the United States, they cannot be a domiciliary of the State of Maine.
A student who attended an out-of-state educational institution at in-state tuition rates in the immediately preceding semester, shall be presumed to be in Maine for educational purposes and not to establish a domicile. Again, the burden will be on the individual to prove that he or she has established a Maine domicile for other than educational purposes.
* Please note that initial residency is determined by the admissions office for matriculated undergraduate students, the continuing & distance education office for non matriculated undergraduate students, and the graduate school for graduate students based on application information.
To change tuition status, the following procedures are to be followed:
- Submit a "Request for Change in Tuition Status" cover sheet and application must be filed with the Associate Bursar at the University of Maine, Bursar's Office, 5703 Alumni Hall, Orono, ME 04469-5703 before the first day of classes for the summer session, fall or spring semester for which residency is requested. All applications are prospective.
If the Associate Bursar's written decision, to be issued within 30 days of the first day of classes is considered incorrect by the student, the student may appeal that decision in writing within 30 days, in the following order:
- The Bursar. After receiving a written decision from this level within 30 days, the student has 30 days to submit a written appeal to:
- The Vice President for Finance and Administration. After receiving a written decision from this level within 30 days, the student has 30 days to submit a written appeal to:
- The President (or designee), will issue a final decision within 30 days.
In the event that the Associate Bursar, or other designated official, possesses facts or information indicating a student's change of status from in-state to out-of-state, the student shall be informed in writing of the change in status and will be given an opportunity to present facts in opposition to the change. The student may appeal the decision of the Associate Bursar or other designated official as set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Thanks for the videos! I'm so excited about the gala right now (even though I never liked his white legend costume )
The gala was great, but I can't seem to find a link to Hanyu's EX performance. On CBC's channel, they only upload Canadian athletes' performance and it's a pity they didn't upload his. >_>
Hanyu aims for the first jump in the world?
Namely it's the quad loop. I hope he finds new motivations..
I'm afraid it may be deleted in a little while.
Or, try this site. It has French and Russian versions of Niconico Douga.
This is a blog in Japanese, but it has lots of figure skating videos.
You can hide the comments at the right bottom of the video.
not sure if this has been posted but... i am lost for words
too bad we won't see him pull out in competition cause of stupid sequence rule.
i don't know if this is appropriate
but this is just awesome
i can delete it later
no idea about appropriateness but at least I laughed
and I soooo agree, hes already more relevant to world peace than 90% of all pop stars
"I want another gold medal at the next Olympics and Ill do my best to achieve it"
Plushy's message for Yuzuru, and Yuzu's response:
(See link for video)
From the post:
The video starts when Plushenko invites the camera crew to the house in Sochi. The J-TV instroduces it as Plu's villa, and Yuzu reacts on it with "Cool!"
Then you see Japanese subtitles when Plu is talking. But the content is not exactly the same of what he said in Russian. So, I will translate both: the Japanese subtitles and the orginal Plu's speech in Russian.
The Japanese subtitles of Plushenko's speech:
Dear Yuzuru. Now you are the champion. You are already the top skater in the figure skating world. I want you to take not only one Olympic medal but also many medals in the future. I believe it's possible for you to do that. You have a lot of talents to get many medals. But the most important thing for you is to be healthy. I hope you will. Now I am the FAN of yours. Thank you.
Yuzuru: (*obviously to reply on the Japanese subtitles and not on the original Plu's speech in Russian)
I was very moved by his words. I can't believe it. I was working hard to be like him. And I am very moved now by his words. I will surely take care of my health well enough. I want to skate for a long time without any injuries or damages.
The original Plushenko's speech in Russian:
My dear friend. Now you are the Olympic champion. It's the most dear title in the world of sport. I wish you to gain in your whole career and to have on your chest not just one Olympic medal but as many as possible. I am sure you can do that. Because you are a genius champion, a talented sportsman, you are hard-working, you really like to work hard. But the most important thing.. (*video cut). (*cont.) .. as I alread said, I am your fan. Thank you.
