Sigma DP Merrill SD Cards Issue Poll
April 01, 2014, 07:45:26 PM »
I am trying to resolve an issue with my Sigma DP Merrill Camera, I would like to know what others are using for their SD card, namely the SD Card Brand & Type as well as the Size rating.
I personally am using two 32 GB SanDisk Ultra SDHC-I Class 10 cards.
I would like to rule out/rule in the card as a factor in image corruption. Neither card seems to have any issue when used in other cameras and they have zero errors found on checkdisk.

I have used Kingston, Sandisk and Transcend cards in my DP2M and DP3M both class 10 and class 4 without problems (and indeed see no significant improvement in write time in the class 10 over the 4). No corruption problems over about 6,000 exposures in total - except when the battery is coming to the end of its charge. Then I have seen some frames totally corrupted. My wholly uneducated guess is that as the battery charge begins to drop to exhaustion there is still enough power to power the camera but not enough to process the file and write it to the card. Changing batteries to a fresh one seemingly eliminates the problem.

pflower, I appreciate your reply. When you experience image corruption, is it a fragment written to card or when you open in SPP the image might show a JPEG but the X3F RAW will render as partially green-partially magenta file, or perhaps some thing else?

Sorry I also missed out from your original question the size of the cards. I mostly use 32gb cards but have various 16gb and even 4gb accumulated over the years. I haven't seen any discernable difference based upon size.
The number of corrupt images I have seen are very few - probably no more than 15 - 20 out of the 6,000 or so exposures taken. Mostly the xfr file is completely corrupted - from memory usually a brightish red/pink colour with snow and no indication of any image. Sometimes with a black dividing line half way through the frame. The same thing shows in the jpeg view.
Curiously I had a corrupt image yesterday which surprised me since the jpeg view was fine but clearly the raw file was corrupted. It looked fine in the thumbnail window of SPP and I batch processed all of the files to Tiffs and then imported into Lightroom. This one had a bright green overlay over the entire image - you could just discern that there was an image behind it. Going back to SPP the Review window also showed the same green overlay. I can't remember precisely the sequence of events but I certainly got a "battery empty" warning when shooting yesterday and had to change batteries. Whether or not that was at the same time as the corrupt image I can't remember and I have now deleted it so can't share.
Personal experience is that the camera and the cards I have are very reliable. As I said earlier the only problems I have had seem to me (purely based upon memory) related to the draining of the battery or, just possibly, overloading the buffer.

I have just bought the Merrill 1 and 2, taking advantage of the very cheap UK prices. I am using a Sandisk 8gb card. Having taken the cameras out twice now, several frames shot just before the battery expires have not been recorded on the memory card. One frame last night was recorded with a green/red overly divided by a black line. Also last night I was bracketing whilst the battery was very low and the camera froze. The only way to address this was to take the battery out and replace it with a fresh one, which appeared to corrupt not only the images I had just taken but several images taken just before. These images were just not recorded on the card. Strange. Earlier images on both occasions were recorded perfectly.
These were all raw files; I have not shot jpg. They are huge files and I guess use considerable energy to write to the card, perhaps exceeding what residual power remains in the battery. Just need to be careful as the battery winds down but a little frustrating nonetheless.

Thank you pflower and Geoff for your replies this is interesting information.

This one had a bright green overlay over the entire image - you could just discern that there was an image behind it. Going back to SPP the Review window also showed the same green overlay.
This is the problem I am occasionally encountering, followed by what Geoff also reports that a sequence of images can become entangled in the corruption issue, except in my case the battery is freshly recharged.
Also last night I was bracketing whilst the battery was very low and the camera froze. The only way to address this was to take the battery out and replace it with a fresh one, which appeared to corrupt not only the images I had just taken but several images taken just before. These images were just not recorded on the card. Strange. Earlier images on both occasions were recorded perfectly.
Geoff raises an interesting point about high power demand scenarios which may exceed reserve power which in turn cause temporary failure of the camera. I guess one way to see if this is the cause is to swap in the AC-DC power unit and trying out similar image taking scenarios which tax power.
I have looked on the net for other that have experienced image corruption and there was one individual who was trying to taking bracketed panoramas that induced a similar issue. Here is that URL:
And Dovey's posting here (scroll down):
Though I found someone else who says they see corrupted image with apparently no battery or card problem:
And some one on this thread interestingly observes:
The fact that JPG is fine suggests that the problem is not battery charge nor SD card. (I ran Windows chkdsk on my card and my hard drive; no problem.) The constant pattern of failure - magenta and green divided by a horizontal line - strongly suggests a trouble point in the firmware processing that writes the strictly raw portion of the X3F file.
The questions for Sigma Corp.: what is this error, and is it initiated by a characteristic of the data of a shot or by something in the camera environment, such as the user pressing a certain button at a precise moment while the preceding shot is still being processed?
Were those five shots together in sequence or scattered over the 78?

So what prompted your question in the first place? Are you getting significant numbers of corrupted files?
I have to say that I have been completely sold on these little cameras. Even if I were a working pro (which I am not) I would still trust them. I am just off to Venice and intend to take only the 2 Sigmas and a Mamiya 7ii whereas previously I would always take my Hasselblad. Given that here in the UK the price has dropped dramatically I am thinking of buying both of them again as back ups. The combination of the dramatic price drop and the imminent arrival of the Quattro might possibly point to a future discontinuance. Whilst the Quattro may be interesting I can easily fit both of these cameras in my jacket pockets. I have just done a series of A2 prints from the DP3M and the Hassy H3D-39. With careful processing the DPxM files come very close to the HD39s.
I still think that these little cameras are pushing above their weight and if you stretch them you can get problems. Both by making exposures when the battery is low or by making a series of exposures too quickly. I seldom do the latter but I will experiment over the next week.

Hi pflower, None of the threads elsewhere on the web seem to resolve in a definitive answer from the end user about what is going on here. I had been getting more corrupted images, so my camera is in for repair, I am not sure I can trust it anymore *if* this keeps cropping up. I have already had two saddening incidences where I can't just go out take the photo again. I turned to this forum in hopes that brand x memory card is at issue and not the camera. I too would really like to use this as my go to camera as I recognize what it can do but recent experiences have me questioning where to go from here.

When one talks about a sequence of images recently taken getting caught up in a corruption situation, one should remember that it takes the Sigma a long -- as in, very long -- time to write images to card. It wouldn't surprise me, if a corruption situation presents itself, to have a number of images, shot within the past minute or more, to be affected also. Once I have hit the buffer, with six or seven shots in quick succession, it takes an inordinate (by the standards of virtually any other modern digital camera) to write each image to card and thus clear the buffer for another shot. I haven't actually timed it, but I wouldn't be surprised to find a 10 second (or more?) write time for each image. I love the results from these cameras, and thus am resigned to living with this. Knock on wood, I don't recall a problem with corrupted files. --Barbara

Hi Barbara,
I do appreciate that these cameras can take a long time to write a filled buffer to the card, though typically my corrupted images seem to occur when the display says the buffer can still accept between 5-6 shots available. Also, I am typically shooting in 2-second self timer. Sometimes when the light is good it might be then a series of 2-second timer captures in a row, not ever depleting the buffer that much, but I am modifying the control dials for Shutter/Aperture when this happens and card writing is taking place. One thing I have noticed is that perhaps when a X3F image corruption occurs the red writing light appears to stay on for an inordinate amount of time ( and that is relative to the idiosyncratic Sigma write times). Long write times don't bother me, as long as the RAW image data is actually properly written. Not sure if these "user inputs" are unintentionally interfering with the "multi-tasking" nature of the firmware. This may tie into what that one user I cited said about issues when taking panos.
For the sake of completeness what memory cards have you been using with good success?

I use SanDisk, 16GB. If I'm buying at the local Office Depot, I buy the fastest one they have. When I'm buying at my local camera store, I often get the next-to-fastest for a price savings, as I don't feel I need the fastest speeds now available. SanDisk cards have given me no trouble. --Barbara

I hope there's some way to get the issue across to Sigma Engineers regarding the battery running out while an image is being written to the card. It would be really nice for it run out of battery if it can't guarantee a complete shot.

A brief update.
The camera was repaired--essentially it seems Sigma changed out all the internals of the camera except the lens, shutter and metal housing. Thus far the issue has not resurfaced. Unfortunately, their replacement of parts introduced dust inside the camera which is visible on high f-stop photos so it needs to go back for that reason now...
So to summarize, the image corruption issue does not appear to be an issue with the battery nor memory cards, instead some unknown camera hardware defect. And since they swapped out several internal components it is not known which part or part combination caused the issue to surface.

Team 2012-13: Fenerbahce (Turkey-TBL)
Career: Ulkerspor Istanbul (Turkey-TBL, 2004-06); Fenerbahce Ulker (Turkey-TBL, 2006-13)
Savas is the model of consistency, a low post player who knows what he can do and does that well. He has played with Fenerbahce since 2006 and shot better than 60% from the field in the past two seasons - hitting 68% in the Turkish League last season. Savas, a classical back-to-the-basket center, scores when he gets the ball in the blocks and rebounds it when it comes his way - pretty simple stuff. Savas will also not wow anyone offensively or defensively but he gets the job done on defence. The crafty center is back with the Turkish national team after taking the 2012 summer off from the EuroBasket 2013 Qualification Round. The 26-year-old has spent nine of the previous 10 summers playing for Turkey.

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He came to prominence as an early participant in London''s pub rock scene in the mid-1970s and later became associated with the punk/New Wave genre. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello''s lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image".

Vigo County---Early this morning at 3:30, Indiana State Police and Vigo County emergency agencies responded to a report of an injured person found along the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 near the 12 mile marker. Passersby had reported the incident.
Indiana State Police Trooper Michael Featherling found the injured and intoxicated person lying in a watery ditch approximately 50 feet south of I-70. The victim was treated at the scene by members of the Riley Fire/Rescue Department and Trans Care Ambulance Service and then taken to Terre Haute Regional Hospital. He was later transferred by ground ambulance to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis for treatment of a lower left leg fracture.
The injured person was identified as David E. Halcomb, age 18, of Clayton, Indiana (Hendricks County). Halcomb's intoxication level was .12 BAC.
Troopers believe Halcomb was one of two passengers in a vehicle driven by a friend. The trio is believed to have been traveling back to Hendricks County after an evening in Terre Haute. During the return trip, an argument began inside the vehicle and resulted in Halcomb being left in the ditch. At this time, it is unclear whether Halcomb was forced from the vehicle or exited on his own while the vehicle was in motion. Troopers have tentatively identified the friends who left the scene prior to their arrival.
The investigation is ongoing and more information will be released when it becomes available.
Assisting were ISP Troopers Brian Thomas and Don Curtis, Vigo County Sheriff's Office, Riley Fire/Rescue Department and Trans Care Ambulance Service.

You won't see the steeple, and the pulpit doubles as a concert stage. Matter-of-fact, the church is inside a warehouse. There is no membership, and that suits the Rev. Mark Minnick just fine.
Welcome to Come2Go Ministries and C2G Music Hall.
Come2Go first opened as a music hall Feb. 3, 2003, as Minnick's intention always was to have a coffeehouse-style ministry.
"I always wanted a music ministry," he said. "Music cuts through all the stuff. That's the theory coming in, and that's the theory still."
Minnick's story is as unique as the ministry he began 10 years ago.
A 1974 graduate of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, he instead became a businessman for 22 years, providing for his wife, Alice, and their four children. While Minnick attended Trinity English Lutheran Church, the Rev. Richard G. Frazier challenged Minnick to enter the ministry. Minnick then enrolled at Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, where he graduated in 2000.
"I took time to discern," he said. "I didn't want a traditional model."
He eventually found the warehouse, which is attached to Baker Street Office Furnishings and set up his ministry, based on the Bible verses John 1:43-50, which talk about Jesus calling Philip and Nathanael (Bartholomew) as apostles.
In 2006, musicians and volunteers wanted to start a ministry to offer spiritual assistance, he said.
"When we first gathered, we had 10 people and a guitar." Sunday attendance now averages 120-150 people and features a full band.
"A lot of the volunteers cross over," he said of the two ministries which recently became separate nonprofits. The music hall hosts about 55-80 secular concerts yearly. Church ministries try to serve area homeless, nursing home residents and troubled youth.
Going out to help
Volunteers form Go Teams to serve God. Minnick said there is no hierarchy. He views himself as a navigator instead of the captain. "I help connect people," he said.
Volunteers supply blankets and clothing to the homeless, while local musicians have ministered the last nine years to the youth at the Allen County Juvenile Center. About 30 youth weekly experience music, a Bible lesson, discussion time regarding life goals, spiritual time and prayer.
"We have a different mix of people. We continue to have a bigger impact overall on Fort Wayne through volunteers. I think it's great we're under the radar."
Minnick said each concert requires 15-30 volunteers to take tickets, offer concessions and work lighting and staging for the music hall, which seats 430 people.
A recent concert, such as December's Christmas concert featuring five local and diverse bands, brought in about 500 people and 500 pounds of canned goods for Community Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Indiana, he said. Kat Bowser's Janis Joplin tribute concert Jan. 19 also attracted about 500 people.
Minnick said the music hall's volunteers also produce a live music television show, "C2G Live," at 1 p.m. Sunday on NBC, including live footage from prior concerts.
"It's great to be outside the box."
As Minnick, 60, plans for his future retirement, he has hired the Rev. Brian Spahr, an ordained minister and a musician, as associate pastor, beginning Feb. 10. The interview process was different than most callings, as Spahr also had to perform musically at one of the music events before he was offered the job.
"It would be irresponsible of me not to have a transition plan."
Minnick also employs two part-time workers for clerical and housekeeping duties.
"I'm glad God took me along for the ride," he said. "God's meeting goals. I've always been surrounded by talented people here. There were rough times, but it's better going forward."

What are you printing on a 44" wide printer?
December 19, 2012, 03:40:00 PM »
I have been printing with an Epson 4900 printer for most of the year, and love the prints coming from it. The only thing I wish, is that I could print larger.
I am considering a 7900 or 9900. To the people with the 9900 or other 44" wide printers, what are you printing on them? Can you enlarge your photos to 44" and still have them look good? I know there are many factors including how far away you are viewing the print, the format size, quality of file, media type, etc. I am shooting a D800E with good practice (tripod, remote, MLU, sharp primes, etc.) Do you need stitched files, medium format, or scanned large format to take advantage of a 44" printer?
Long story short, I would consider a 9900 if I can take advantage and be happy with 44" wide prints. Otherwise it is a lot of extra money.

What YOU would be happy with is very subjective. I would find a person or lab with a 44" printer and print a few. You could also enlarge a few choice files to 44" and print a few sections on your 4900.

I would think you would be better off with stitched files if you want it to look as good as it does in a smaller print size.
There is only so far you can take a file in any of the up-rezzing software before it loses it's "zing".
On the plus side, if you DO have a 9900, you can print for other people and make back the costs of that machine.
When my 9900 died this summer, I jumped off the cliff and got the 11880 figuring that eventually someone would want something larger than what the 9900 could give me. I just finished up printing a piece at 64 x65 inches, and she wants to do more after Xmas. Without it, no one else in the area could have helped her.
Always buy as much as your money can afford is my motto.

I've been using a 9800 for about 5 years, recently upgraded to the 9900. I am now printing only my own canvasses and paper prints for my galleries and would not be in business long without the 44" format. With the Imageprint rip I can efficiently use the size to position multi images to best utilize the material. I used to print for artists who always wanted canvases that simply couldn't fit on the 24" format with gallery wraps. I doubt anyone who saw the need for the larger size would ever go back. Resolution is almost never an issue with the third party up-res and sharpening plugins. Plus most of my landscapes are composites of 3 to 12 shots for me that gets me up to 2 GB file sizes pretty quick.
I think the larger size would allow you much greater opportunity to print for others if there is a shortage of those services in your area. Just make sure to charge appropriately. The material and ink savings from the big printer efficiency should go directly to your bottom line.

I made the choice to go with the Canon 8300 in large part because of the economics: with the rebates they had and the full set of 330ml inks, it was just the better deal compared to the 24". Now I'm really glad I made that choice.
I still haven't printed wider than 24" on paper, but I've started working with canvas and a 24" printer just isn't big enough. For gallery wraps you need the extra canvas so 24" quickly become limiting. I haven't quite needed the full 44" yet, but I've done some 30" wide gallery wraps using 36" rolls. I really like working with canvas for large prints, they look fantastic. There's a learning curve with the acrylic coating and mounting options, but the large canvases are easier to handle than large paper prints (less delicate) and also cheaper to mount/frame for display since no mat or glazing is needed (heck, a frame isn't strictly needed if you like the look of gallery wraps).
As far as how big you can print and still be happy, I shoot with a D800 and wouldn't go bigger than 24x36 on paper without stitching, but different people have different criteria for "acceptable" and the type of image also is a factor. With canvas you can get away with more enlargement before the image starts to fall apart. And of course there's always stitching.
I don't know how the economics work out between 24" and 44" with Epson, since I haven't looked. But setting price aside, IMHO the main reason to go with 44" over 24" is canvas.

First it was the 4000. I needed bigger and the following year it was a 7600. That still wasn't big enough, so two years later, it was a 9800 and today, it's the back-up to the 9900...
Most of the printing is done on 24 inch roll paper. A great way to print "enlarged" proof sheets for my use and that of my clients. A 24x36 sheet of 3x5 prints has impact!
The main reason for moving up to the 44 inch printer is several: Cheaper cost/ml for ink, cheaper cost/sf for paper, faster printing, larger images beyond 24x36, especially for any kind of canvas. About the largest canvas you can print for stretching on a 24 inch printer is just under 20 inches wide, almost too small to work, IMO. 36 and 44 inch canvas gives you more options when it comes to final size and more potential for sales.
If you have the space and do any printing for a living, the couple of extra thousand more for nearly double the width is well worth considering. Both the 24 and the 44 inch printers are the sweat spot, depending upon your needs. The 60 inch printers seem like overkill unless you have MF digital backs or a specialized market and nearly double the space it takes for the 44 inchers.
For me, the 9800 sold a major print project I've worked on the past two years and more than paid for the purchase of the 9900 which also auto cuts the canvas that I sold. Most every photo of the 600 plus images started life as a 10-12 MP raw capture carefully crafted to 20x30 to 30x40 prints. A few were from scanned 35mm and 6x6 scans, but the digital captures look so much better.
Oh, one more thing, all three of these large format printers was second-hand and found on eBay, Craig's list or other listserve. Each was well below retail and ready to print once I got them set up. One came from a hobbiest, a second was at the end of the service contract and had just been serviced (now five years since I bought it and running swell) and the last was from a lab that pulled the plug and came with lots of media and extra carts.
All three took man power to put in the back of my 4Runner and each took a crew to pack them down the stairs into my studio. Every one I bought has more than paid for itself and I'm almost sorry I waited so long in buying each!
If money's an issue, be patient and keep your eyes open for second-hand.

Thanks for all the replies. Lula is a great resource for printing. I will do a couple test prints on my 4900 simulating the larger enlargements and see what I am happy with. I am pretty picky about image quality. A bigger printer will probably just entice me to go with a higher resolution camera (get on the merry-go-round).
I will have to do more stitching too. I have been super happy with the D800E photos printed on 17x20, but we'll see with larger photos.
I am all for buying as much as my money can afford, but would rather not pay extra for something I can't use.

I have often heard laments about going 24" instead of 44" but I have never heard the opposite.
Right now I'm printing 2, 21 x 60's and 1, 43 x 27 on a single long length of 44" canvas. Will tape it up on a sheet of Coroplast for coating, glue it to a piece of Gator, cut it up and frame the pieces. So easy. Three mounted prints for little more than the work of one. Gang printing is a good reason for 44" even if you don't do prints bigger than could be done on a 24".
Of course framah could print those 60 inchers sideways, now I'll have to get a Canon 9400 just to keep him in his place.

I'm in the group of lamenters. I bought a 24" Z3200 a few years ago, and wish, wish, wish that I'd bought the 44" Z3200 instead. So I've been using a collaborators Epson 9900 until I buy my own 9900, which I'm hoping to do any day now. I shoot only 35mm DLSR these days, and the right files look very good in a 40"x60" size range, so long as the viewing distance makes sense. Note that I don't shoot or print landscapes, and I am not a nose-to-print viewing-with-loupes kind of guy.

If you can get a good deal on a 44" printer, I would buy it and keep both. As a owner of an only 44" wide printer, sometimes I wish to have a 24" of the same model to do some small format jobs. 44" rolls are big to handle and more expensive than the 24" ones.

...but you can also use 24" (or smaller rolls) on your 44" printer.
The only time I wished for a smaller printer was for a 38** series just to print smaller greet card stock. That's it. Until that 4800 dies, it ain't gonna happen. The 4800 is relegated to large greeting cards only with its paper feed tray. Otherwise, I have two 44" printers that get all the print work from 10" rolls all the way up to 44" rolls. If you have the space and print regularly, a 44" printer offers more flexibility.

I find the D800(e) files will happily accommodate 30"+ wide printing, even viewing up close (assuming really good technique and low ISO). I'm loving using 36" wide paper for 32 x 48 or 30 x 45 so I can use 40x 60 mats with 5" borders. I export out of Lightroom at 300 dpi and let the canon driver upres to 600 dpi. For canvas, I figure it takes 44" wide to allow for a wrap to yield 36" x 54". YMMV
Certainly there are images you may prefer more resolution, so I consider a stitching as a backup. But I'm really finding if I did my part well, the images look great as single shots. I don't think it's at all an issue to the average customer.

As Larry Angler said, it takes man power to move these beasts. Figure on 4 people. My 11880 was so heavy that all 4 of us had all we could do to lift it out of the crate and onto the stand.
Of course, it consisted of 3 old men with various levels of age related problems and one young buck who complained that we weren't taking our fair share of the weight.

I started with a Canon Pixma 9500 that did 13x19", after a couple years of mastering that, I felt the urge to go bigger. I bought an IPF8400 44" recently, you really need good files to begin with, if you want to print big. You'll see every little imperfection. I've been using Photoacute for some photos, to help uprez the quality. I'm using a 5dm2. I'm now itching to upgrade to a Pentax 645D, but all in due time..
I was able to manhandle the printer into my living room by myself and just needed 1 other person to lift it onto the stand.
There's still one more IPF8400 on ebay, 3000$ after rebate. It's a steal, considering a full ink change is nearly 2k.

For you pixel peepers, you can always lean on one of the resizing programs, or even PS's own resizing functions, to make your blowups at least a little cleaner looking if not actually better.
This is an 800% upsize with from a pathetically low resolution original, Resize7 treatment on the left, pathetic original on the right. Looks like a PS Filter, doesn't it?
The results you get from higher resolution and higher quality originals are not as dramatic, and in most cases PS will do just as good a job all by itself, provided one resists the temptation to over-sharpen.
This should start a pretty good argument!

I would either recommend the Epson 9900 which has the HDR inks. This is supposed to be the top of the line printers (x900 series). The Canon IPF8400 is also a great model. With the full set of ink that comes with the printer and better discounts, it is a pretty unbeatable price. But, it really depends on what the customer wants (or the owner that uses the printer) wants in quality. The 4900 quality will be comparable to the 9900. We did a print on the 7900 with and w/o the O&G and really couldn't tell a big difference (on a flower with green and orange all over). If you can see the difference and want the best quality, the 9900 would be the best option.
Both models are great and really close quality. We have the IPF8300 and has a 9890 (than sold it and will have another one in our office soon). We have many demos in our office as we also sell these printers (Brand New).
The Z3200 standard printers are now discontinued from HP and the PS versions are the only ones available in that line.
If anyone has questions on the printers or prices, feel free to contact us.

I actually mostly print 24 and 36" rolls on my 44" printer, but the few times I need 42" prints the savings is astronomical. I recently did a 44x96" canvas, it would have cost almost as much as the printer to have someone else do that.
my single biggest annoyance is that none of the papers I love come in 10" rolls. sometimes I just need to crank out a bunch of 8x10's and I don't want to have to hand cut them. (I'm looking at you Moab)

ST. MARYS – Elk County Conservation District Manager Steve Putt announced during the group's meeting Monday evening that organization is teaming up with the Headwaters Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) to conduct an invasive and noxious weed survey on a limited number of area properties between now and the end of August. According to Putt, only 17 property surveys will be conducted.
"We have the ability to do up to 17 of these surveys and at this point we're open to do 17," Putt said.
A release provided during the meeting explained that the purpose of the surveys is to promote "weed control and wildlife habitat management to private landowners in Elk County."
"The idea is any landowner can sign up for this and just give us a call and let us know if they have an interest in us coming out and doing a review or a survey of the property to see if they have any invasive or noxious weeds on there," Putt said.
Individuals interested in having their property surveyed are asked to contact the conservation district office at 814-776-5373.

Bridget Kelly's Guide To Proving You're Fan Enough
January 14, 2014 via Pepsi
Bridget Kelly's Guide To Proving You're Fan Enough
So you think you're a football fan? It takes more than claiming a team to be fan enough for Bridget Kelly. Sure, she's a Grammy-Award-winning singer/songwriter. She's a poised, passionate, well-spoken musician who's leading the charge in HOT 97's Battle of the Beats and just dropped her latest EP Cut To...Bridget Kelly. But first and foremost, this New Yorker is a true-blue football fan. Kelly's loved the game since she was a kid. In fact, her very first career goal was to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. "I remember being five years old and listening to Whitney Houston do it and being so emotional," she explains. "I was five and I cried–I don't know why I cried. I was five it didn't mean anything to me, I just remember that moment. It's what I wanted to do." Proving your love for your team requires some serious dedication. We're talking toughing it out in crappy seats. We're talking knowledge-spitting skills. We're talking real fandom. Going to a Giants game with Bridget Kelly is an educational experience. She rattles off stats, screams at the coach and jumps ten feet high when they make it to the endzone, all while she's wearing 5-inch heels. We had Bridget lay out the things that are absolutely essential to proving you're Fan Enough. Although born in seats at The Giants' home stadium, Kelly assures us, "These aren't even Giants facts, they're football facts." Click through the thumbnail images above for Bridget Kelly's Guide To Proving You're Fan Enough and keep up with the latest #FanEnough news on Twitter.
1. You have to sit in nosebleed seats.
If you're a real football fan you have sat in nosebleed seats at least twice. I've paid my dues, I was there when The Giants played at Meadowlands and not the MetLife Stadium. It was rustic, ratchet and rickety.
2. Know the coach's name.
You have to know the coach's name so you can curse him out when you're at the game. When I watch the O line mess up, I'm yelling at the coach, 'Something's not right with you!.' The Giants' head coach Tom Coughlin has led them to two Super Bowls in the past 10 years.
3. Understand penalties.
You have to know your quarterback. You have to understand when flags need to be thrown, you have to understand the game. You should be able to scream out when a flag isn't thrown. 'That should have been a pass interference!' Usually people around you scream with you. Just for the sake of our less-informed readers—can you explain what a pass interference is? It is when the opposing team, the defensive team, does not have their eye on the ball. So, the receiver is waiting for the ball, the quarterback is supposed to throw it to him. Pass interference is when the team that is playing defense blocks that but doesn't have their eye on the ball. The minute they take their eye off the ball or they mess up the pass, it's a pass interference.
4. Have merch.
You have to have one item, like a jersey or a hat—some type of merch. A hat, a scarf, a scully, a jersey—whatever. I have a Manning jersey and New York Giants fitted.
5. Tailgate.
I have a lot of family that's into college football, so, I got into tailgating early on. NY Giants tailgating is a lot of fun. People get out here early in the day, pitch a tent, get a grill. You're there for breakfast, for lunch, maybe for dinner depending on what time the game ends. You'll probably sit there through the end of it because you're going to be stuck in traffic for two hours trying to leave parking lot anyways, so people just post up for the whole day.
6. Have a favorite player on your home team.
Victor Cruz is my favorite player. He is someone people counted out, he was on the injured reserve list with Sinorice Moss—they kind of counted him out, you don't play basically you sit on the bench. Victor Cruz is my favorite because he's the underdog. He's from Paterson, New Jersey, came from nothing, worked his butt off to get where he is. As soon as an opportunity opened up for him, he stepped up to the plate. I respect that as a player. He gives back to his community, he has an incredible daughter and and incredible wife. I love them and I respect him.

To find a cure for childhood cancer, we're going the distance…one million miles. That's a long way, but a parent of a child with cancer would go that far (and then some) to find a cure. Join us during the month of September (Childhood Cancer Awareness Month) as we collectively run or walk one million miles to raise funds and spread the word of the need to support childhood cancer research.
How will it work?
10,000 teams (or individuals) x 100 miles = 1 million miles
We are recruiting 10,000 runners or walkers (or teams) who will run 100 miles each (or, for teams, collectively) throughout the month of September.
Pledges/mile x 1 million miles = Millions of dollars for kids with cancer

Last week, we told you about our massive dog fighting bust that spanned multiple states and resulted in the removal of 367 dogs and puppies. We gave you an inside look with our on-the-scene video, and now we have a first-person account from the rescue. Below is a guest blog by Tim Rickey, Vice President of the ASPCA's Field Investigations & Response Team, reflecting on what he found during the raid and the terrible fate of dog fighting victims.
When I first walked on the property, I stared across the yard and saw more than 100 dogs, most of them tied to heavy log chains, anchored to dilapidated dog houses. The dogs ranged from old to young, living on a worn dirt ring that likely had seen generations of dogs come and go to a sad fate.
Most were chained nose-to-nose to their neighbors to ensure continuous arousal.
I first thought of what a grim fate many of these dogs would have met without our intervention that day. But as I looked at a young, weeks-old puppy with one glance, and an aging, 10-year-old senior with another, my thoughts quickly turned to the long, lonely and painful journey of a fighting dog's life.
This cycle begins with being chained at such an early age with little to no positive human or animal interaction. The burden continues with heavy chains, often with additional weights, to drag around their entire lives. The constant noise, arousal and anxiousness push them towards aggression to or from their yard mates. If they don't respond, their life may end quickly, but if they do, they have sealed their fate of a long, torturous life.
Their only reprieve from the chain is death or brief release to be tested against another dog, eventually going back to the chain with little attention to their wounds. What follows is weeks of intense training and significant human interaction with the person who will commit the ultimate betrayal and force them into a barbaric battle for entertainment and profit. If they survive, they go back again to the chain: A vicious cycle that could go on for years until these dogs finally have no value or fight left in them and are discarded.
Our responders are still on the ground, so please stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue.
If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA. Thank you for helping us support cruelty victims nationwide.

Fall Out Boy set to kick off the "Monumentour"
It's going to be hard to top 2013 for Fall Out Boy. After all, they had a top-selling, critically-acclaimed new album, a bevy of radio hits and a headlining tour. So how do they raise the bar in 2014?
The "Monumentour" – the pairing of Fall Out Boy and Paramore – is the answer. Two top-shelf pairings, each band playing the same amount of time on stage, and even playing some songs together on some nights. The name was the brainchild of Paramore bassist Jeremy Davis, and it reflects the pairing in a way that not even a savvy marketer would've been able to come up with. (After all, Paramore just notched its biggest pop hit with "Ain't It Fun," and has become a household name in the pop and rock worlds).
So what can the fans expect from the tour? For one thing, Fall Out Boy says the stunts from its previous tour will be replaced with all new looks and bigger stunts this time out. In fact, the band has looked at Guns N'Roses and Metallica's tour from 1992 for inspiration, and anticipates putting all the bells and whistles to use in amphitheaters around the country this summer.
If you want to see two of the biggest bands in modern rock for a string of epic shows, the "Monumentour" kicked off June 19th in Hartford, Connecticut and continues across North America deep into the summer. The trek officially wraps on August 17 in Concord, California at the Sleep Train Pavilion but we urge you not to miss this pairing. Don't be caught napping – get your tickets now!
Fall Out Boy falls back in (Created August 16, 2013)
Don't use the word 'reunited' around members of Fall Out Boy, because the band will be quick to remind you it never broke up in the first place.
The Chicago pop-punk act regrouped earlier this year and released their fifth studio album, "Save Rock and Roll." Not only was it their first new project since 2008's "Folie á Deux," it also marked the 10th anniversary of the band's debut "Take This To Your Grave."
Fall Out Boy as it exists now is how it always has been. The band – Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley – say they simply needed to 'plug back in and make some music that matters to us.' And plug back in they did. It was February 4, 2013 when the guys officially put to rest any and all rumors about new material by noting their hiatus had officially ended. They not only announced the new album, they also announced a tour. To mark the occasion, they made a mini-bonfire of sorts in their hometown of Chicago, burning all of their previous albums and debuting their new single "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)."
Fall Out Boy performed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on February 13, and "Save Rock and Roll" was released two months later. The album debuted at No. 1 on the charts, and after a handful of shows they embarked on a new tour that ran from May 14 to June 30. They're also scheduled to play at Reading and Leeds in the UK and Summer Sonic in Japan.
Fall Out Boy Tickets** - Definitely Fall For This Different Kind of Boy Band!
And fall hard -- because this was the age of emo pop, and Fall Out Boy was certainly a flagship. Founded back in 2001 with four members in suburban Wilmette, 14 miles north of Chicago -- vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, bass guitarist Pete Wentz, drummer Andrew Hurley, and guitarist Joe Trohman -- Fall Out Boy became a classic after some stints, self-released demos, and a minor-label swing to eventually sign with Fueled by Ramen and Island Records for their proper debut album in 2003.
Fall Out Boy Tickets - The Music of Fall Out Boy
Their debut, of course, wasn't the hard-hitting, sky-rocketing extravaganza that many of us might know of. Entitled Take This to Your Grave, it earned positive reviews, more than enough to warrant the release of a second album. It was 2005's From Under the Cork Tree that earned them acclaim with the chart-topping smash hits 'Sugar We're Going Down' and the upbeat number 'Dance, Dance.' Immediately, the album went double-platinum and even earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. After numerous award shows, TRL visits, late-night television gigs, and a ton of international tours and arena shows, Fall Out Boy popped themselves back in the studio to work on the second proper album to match the status of Cork Tree. Infinity on High showed up in 2007 with the hit track 'This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race' spearheading the obvious success Fall Out Boy already had. The album debuted right at number on on the Billboard charts, followed by a platinum certification. Not too shabby.
Fall Out Boy Tickets - The Sound and Style of Fall Out Boy
Obviously, if you were to take one listen and look at the Fall Out Boy band, you can say for certain that they were definitely emo. However.... Typically, you associate emo with some of the darker colors, maybe even a sombre look on the face. However, Fall Out Boy had a more upbeat sort of tempo, an upbeat look. Even Pete Wentz with his dark hair, pale look, and makeup, had an upbeat feel! They knew how to play some sweet rock music without all the angst and angry tones of which alternative metal was characteristic.
The 25 Highest Grossing Tours of the Summer
As far as live music goes, this summer was one filled with epic collaborations, musical icons and pop starlets. From Paul McCartney to Beyonce & Jay Z, The Eagles to One Direction, the season offered something for everyone. But with such fierce competition, who came out on top?

Comments about Mud River The Hoss Travel Dog Food Bag:
Taking the 1st field trip with 5 month old Weimaraner & wanted something other than the original or plastic container to take 10 days worth of dog food. I haven't yet used this bag but I know it will be perfect. Didn't know what to expect from a dog food bag & I am truly impressed. It has a really tough rip stop nylon exterior & the interior is super tough, thick vinyl about like swimming pool liner thickness. The closure is so simple/secure it's genius. There is a fairly strong plastic smell so I turned the bag inside out washed it & I'm airing it out before putting food in hopefully the smell won't be a problem. Great job Mud River!

Comments about Mud River The Hoss Travel Dog Food Bag:
Excellent bag. I travel frequently to visit my fiance and family in another state. Of course, my pup travels with me. This bag serves an excellent purpose for me. Taking dog food with me was a hassle before. I was using grocery bags to transport food, which left the food stale and sometimes they would rip and spill. I can fit an entire 18 pound bag of dog food in the bag. I can toss the bag in the back of my pickup truck and not worry about it ripping open and ruining the food. It's also great to just store food in at home, which I do also. This bag is so good, my parents even want one for their dog. Everywhere I take it, I get comments on how neat the bag is. Excellent deal for the price!

I've been a poster here since 2008. I know a lot of you but there's many I don't know. I know this is off-topic but I love knowing what people do for a living.
What do you do for a living?
Starting with myself, I have a tech firm based in Atlanta. We build large websites and apps for startups and companies around the world. I also work with Matt Light and his foundation on his site, which is cool because in 2010 he invited me up for a game and I went on the field and in the locker room after. Saw Brady and his wife and kids, Welker, Light, Belichick and his boys. It was an unforgettable experience.
