New Orleans, La - The French Quarter streets were full of dogs on Sunday for the 10th Annual Krewe of Barkus Parade. Dogs dressed in tutus, top hats and other colorful costumes marched through the Quarter with their owners.
This year's theme was 'Tails and Tiaras, Here Comes Honey Bow Wow. The Parade is always a fan favorite with dog owners and their pets.
"It's wonderful, raises money for all the local shelters and it's a beautiful time for everybody to come out and enjoy the dogs and she just has a great time every year watching," says parade goer, Diane Baker.

UB opened practice today under sunny skies at UB Stadium. Coach Jeff Quinn's in fine voice; you can probably hear him driving by on Millersport. Gone from the roster are LB Jaleel Verser, a starter last year, and LB Wonderful Monds. Both are academic casualties. ... No pads until later this week. ... Opener is Sept. 1 at Georgia, No. 6 in Coaches Poll.

Police: Downers Grove Duo Caught Driving Stolen Car after Evading Roadside Check
Two Downers Grove men are facing felony vehicle theft charges after being caught driving a stolen vehicle in Lemont, police said.
Vidmantas Karla, 45, and Virginijus Karla, 25, both of the 1100 block of Woodcrest Lane, were arrested around 2 a.m. in the 13600 block of Archer Avenue in Homer Glen, police said.
Lemont Police Detective Aras Jonakis said the department was conducting a roadside safety check in the 13400 block of Archer Avenue when a car driven by Virginijus Karla approached. Upon pulling into the checkpoint, the car made a sudden U-turn and drove away from the scene, Jonakis said.
Officers immediately pursued the car, which pulled over two blocks from the checkpoint, Jonakis said.
After checking the vehicle registration, officers discovered the car had been stolen from Northfield and the registration had been stolen from Naperville, Jonakis said.
Virginijus and Vidmantas Karla, the passenger, were taken into custody and charged with felony vehicle theft conspiracy, police said.
Wooden Posts Stolen from Lions Club
Six wooden posts worth an estimated $600 were taken from the Clarendon Hills Lions Club property in the 100 block of Byrd Court sometime during the weekend of Nov. 16 to Nov. 18, police said.

Members of the public are reminded that these complaints contain only charges and are not proof of the defendant's guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government's burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

I ment to say, look at that jaw! Painkillers are having me tripping lol pic.twitter.com/iYV17pWl2I— Stefan Struve (@StefanStruve) March 3, 2013
Last night, Stefan Struve and Mark Hunt put on an exciting, back and forth Heavyweight brawl. Both men tested each other standing and on the ground, but in the end, it was Mark Hunt who won the fight with a vicious left hook that dropped the 7' Struve. Stefan explained after the fight that he wanted to continue but couldn't because of a broken jaw. Well, he wasn't exaggerating at all. He posted this picture to his Twitter page Sunday afternoon.

NORMAN — Voter registration patterns in Oklahoma are closely watched by political junkies. Registrants began opting for the Republican Party several decades ago. Democrats still have a majority registration, but it's the number of independents that is surprising to party officials.
The Tulsa World reports that Oklahoma has 887,724 registered Democrats compared to 850,854 registered Republicans. Ten years ago, Democrats had 341,183 voters registered.
Since January 2000, Independents have increased their registration statewide by 33.8 percent, The World reports. It may be out of frustration with gridlock from both major parties.
Some sign up without a party thinking they can choose from either lineup. Until the General Election, that's not the case. Oklahoma's closed party system precludes Independents from voting in party primaries. Some voters don't understand that until Election Day.

DANVILLE — Traditional Black Friday shopping started considerably earlier this year, with many area retailers swinging open their doors Thursday night shortly after the dishes were cleared from the Thanksgiving dinner table.
While some local shoppers hit the sales that started Thursday night at retailers such as Wal-Mart, others waited until later Friday morning to venture out to the stores in hopes of avoiding long lines and lack of parking spaces.
"This is the first year we slept in," said Sara Quick of Danville who was shopping at the Danville Menards with her mom, Jo Doggett of Westville.
"We're usually out in line first thing in the morning," Doggett said.
Quick agreed. "But you can't find a cart or you can't find a parking space."
Still, the lure of a 32-inch TV for $179 at Menards was too strong for some diehard Black Friday shoppers to resist.
"I got here at quarter to four (in the morning) and they were already in line," said Menards associate Susan Cunningham.
Menards store manager Ryan Geiger said when the West Newell Road store opened at 5 a.m., "the TV was the first one we sold out of."
Other popular sale items at Menards that morning were an infrared heater and a gun cabinet.
Jennifer Thompson of Danville was in the spirit of the season, wearing a Santa hat that moved about and played Jingle Bells.
Thompson said she and her sister and niece headed out to the stores in Danville at 5 a.m., like they do every year, and were making a second trip through Menards after scoring a TV during their first round of shopping.
"We've been to Sears, Kmart, Menards, Office Max, Big Lots and Carson's," she said.
"We want to keep our money in Danville," Thompson said, adding that she had no plans of traveling to Champaign.
Quick and Doggett, who were pushing around a cart filled with toys and a few candles at Menards, echoed that sentiment about shopping locally.
""I've got all the ads in the car," Doggett said. "After this, we'll go to Wal-Mart, Dunham's, Big R and the mall.
"We don't shop online. We try to do it in Danville," she added.
Jerry Block of Danville filled his shopping cart at Menards with all kinds of goodies, including candy for his grandchildren and "the girls at Friendly Tavern."
"This is probably my favorite store," he said, adding that he was just beginning his holiday shopping.
"After this I'm going to wait until December 22 (to continue shopping) in case the world ends on the 21st," he joked.
Block also eschewed the idea of shopping online on Cyber Monday, saying, "online shopping takes away from local businesses and local sales tax."
However, Lori Acree of Danville admitted, "Usually, I'm one of the crazy people who gets up in the middle of the night, but I did a lot of shopping online already."
Still, Acree's shopping cart was overflowing with popcorn tins, travel mugs, slipper socks and even a sock monkey hat.
"I'm buying teacher gifts, babysitter gifts and coworker gifts," she said.
In the toy aisle at Menards, Canadians Steve Froese and his girlfriend Kristin Richter were "looking for the loudest, noisiest toys" to buy, Froese said.
The couple was visiting Froese's uncle in Covington, Ind., and decided to shop for toys in Danville because "they are much cheaper here than in Canada."
Froese noted that Canada's version of Black Friday comes the day after Christmas on Boxing Day when "everything is on sale."
Over at Dunham's sporting goods at the Village Mall, Connie Hanson and Sabra Grigsby of Danville looked through a pile of sweatshirts for the correct size.
Hanson said she and Grigsby intentionally waited until later in the morning before venturing out.
"We waited, hoping the crowds would die down," Hanson said, adding that they didn't plan to travel to Champaign to shop.
"We're going to stay in Danville," she said.
Grigsby said she and Hanson enjoy shopping the penny auction sites online and probably would pick up some additional gift items there.
James Farr of Danville was looking at some athletic wear at Dunham's for his 15-year-old son.
As far as getting an early start shopping, Farr said he "looked at the clock at 5 a.m." but favored more sleep over shopping.
"This year all my shopping will be in Danville because I'm halfway done. I started shopping the last week of October," he said.
"I've done very little online shopping this year," Farr said, adding that he expects to spend a little more on gifts this year than in the past.
Some local residents did drive to Champaign Thursday night to try to get in on the deals that started Thanksgiving night.
By the time midnight rolled around, Jessica Lively, 17, of Cayuga, Ind., and Anna Calvin, 16, of Perrysville, Ind., were waiting in line outside the Ulta Beauty store on Prospect Avenue.
The two teens said they embarked on a similar shopping adventure last year after Thanksgiving.
This year, the teens said they had already waited in line for an hour at Wal-Mart to get a ticket that guaranteed them a coveted digital item that Calvin wanted to buy her mother for Christmas.
After securing the special gift, the teens said they waited in line for another hour to pay for the item.
Waiting in long lines didn't seem to dampen the teens' enthusiasm for shopping, though.
"We save so much money," Lively rationalized.
After buying some nail polish and a few other cosmetics at Ulta, Lively said she and Calvin planned to shop at Marketplace Mall "for about five hours."
Last year, after Calvin shopped all night in Champaign with her friends, she then shopped most of Black Friday in Danville with her mother before arriving home in the wee hours of Saturday morning.
"So you didn't sleep for three days?" Lively asked.
"Yeah, I guess," Calvin replied.

To help keep pace with resuming growth, the Town of Clayton wants to borrow $2 million for its electric system.
Developers continue to launch and restart residential building projects, which typically require the framework for electricity service.
Dale Medlin, head of Clayton's electricity system, said the town can typically stretch its budget dollars to pay for new or improved infrastructure. However, that's hard during a period of aggressive building.
"The economy has picked back up, and we have an accumulation of a lot of projects that are going to happen within a small time frame, and it takes a considerable amount of revenue to pay for it," Medlin said.
Clayton leaders have applied to issue $2 million in electric system revenue bonds. Those types of bonds would require the town pledge to pay off debt with the money customers pay for electricity service. The borrowing is subject to approval by the state's Local Government Commission.
Town Manager Steve Biggs said the borrowing would not require increases in electricity rates. "We expect the expanded customer base to cover the cost of the debt service," he said.
Medlin said several recent, ongoing and future projects include:
• Phases one and two of the Front Street extension, which will eventually connect Front Street to N.C. 42 East.
• The Arbors at East Village, a new 192-unit apartment complex on the Front Street extension.
• Creekside Commons and Bristol at Cobblestone, two residential communities off of Champion Street behind Burger King.
• Improvements in Glen Laurel subdivision.
"We have subdivisions coming in with as many as 200 units in one subdivision," Medlin said. "There is a lot of potential growth that can happen."
Town leaders say the borrowed money will also pay for improvements to existing infrastructure and an automated monitoring system that will provide real-time status updates and controls over the electric system.
"We have to manually monitor everything now," Biggs said, adding that crews also physically investigate each issue.
In Johnston County, the towns of Clayton, Benson, Selma and Smithfield own and operate their own electricity-distribution systems.
Also, as members of the N.C. Eastern Municipal Power Agency, the towns own a small percentage of the generating capacity at the Sharon Harris nuclear power plant. In February, Duke Energy Progress announced plans to purchase the Power Agency's shares in regional power plants. The deal could relieve towns like Clayton of millions of dollars in debt accrued while building and maintaining the plants.

The Coast Guard rescued two people from the hull of a capsized boat in the mouth of the Shark River early Sunday morning.
Rescued were Lee Cuong, 41, from Lester, PA, and Hai Lee, 42, from Upper Darby, PA.
"A Belmar Police Department member notified Coast Guard watchstanders of the distress via VHF-FM radio hail at 2:21 a.m., reporting two people waving their arms from the 19-foot boat's overturned hull," read a press release issued by the Coast Guard.
"A 25-foot Response Boat – Small crew from Station Shark River arrived on scene at 2:28 a.m., rescued the people and transported them back to the station. The boaters declined medical attention," the press release stated.
"The Coast Guard reminds all mariners that a vessel can capsize very quickly. There may not be time to put on a life jacket or hail for help. Please wear a lifejacket whenever on the water. In addition, keep a registered emergency position indicating radio beacon aboard your vessel so rescue crews can pinpoint your location in an emergency," said Petty Officer 1st Class Jason McDonnell, a crewmember from the station.

EMU Listening Process
The EMU board of trustees passed a motion on November 16, 2013, to engage in a six-month listening process around hiring practices and covenanted same-sex relationships1, beginning January 2014.
On June 20, 2014 the board of trustees delayed formal action regarding the hiring policy and individuals in covenanted same-sex relationships. Full statement.
Review our list of frequently asked questions and prayer resources, or see information on process details and timeline, or learn about our surveys.
EMU staff will update this page with outcome information during the week of June 23, 2014.
The motion
Whereas it has been 12 years since the Community Lifestyle Commitment was formally reviewed, and whereas significant concerns have been raised in the EMU community regarding the hiring policy;
We recommend the following:
1. That the board of trustees reaffirms EMU's relationship with Mennonite Church USA and its practice of biblical discernment in community, and EMU's Academic Freedom Policy. The purpose of this action is to ensure that staff, faculty and administrators have the freedom to articulate their personal beliefs and values.
2. That the board of trustees authorize the president's cabinet to design and oversee a six-month listening process (January 2014 to June 2014) with EMU's multiple constituencies. The purpose of the listening process is to review current hiring policies and practices with respect to individuals in covenanted same-sex relationships. Between now and June 2014 EMU will suspend taking any human resource actions based on hiring practices that are currently under review.
3. That particular attention is given to relationships and prayer throughout this process.
4. That the president's cabinet will report the results of the listening process to the full board at its June 2014 meeting.
1. The term "covenanted relationships" refers to couples in monogamous relationships pledged for life and recognized by civil and/or religious authorities.

Rylan Clark's Twitter tirade against his X Factor critics (From Basildon Recorder)

Stanford-le-hope singer's Twitter tirade against X Factor critics
7:00am Thursday 27th September 2012 in Echo News By Lauren Hockney
X FACTOR hopeful Rylan Clark hit back on Twitter after critics blasted his singing ability.
The 23-year-old laun-ched into a foul-mouthed four-letter tirade on the social network site after fans of singers who failed to make the grade claimed Rylan didn't deserve his place in the competition.
An axed singer also criticised Rylan and bosses of the ITV talent show by claiming the competition was a fix.
But tweeting them back, Rylan said: "I've been told not to react to all the **** on here but sorry, I'm a mouthy ******* so I'm gonna. I've earned my place at judges' houses just like every other person in this comp, not everyone is going to like me, I know that.
"But don't judge me for doing something I've always wanted to do. For those who are supportive thank you so much, it means the world."
Rylan, from Stanford-le-Hope, controversially made it through to the judges houses stage of the contest at the weekend ahead of more established singers.
Angry fans of rocker Joseph Whelan, who missed out on a place, hit out at the decision while single dad Joseph launched a scathing attack on the flamboyant Essex boy.
He is reported to have said: "Rylan has a great look and great personality – but the man can't sing."
He also accused the show of being "a fix" after he was allegedly tipped for success by bosses and always received positive comments from the celebrity judging panel, including Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh.
After Rylan's rant, Joseph later took to Twitter to apologise. He tweeted: "Please guys don't blame @RylanClark for the @TheXFactor decision. He is a great guy and I wish him all the best. He is born to be a celeb X"

us/annoying to keep people talking about the show. For the chosen one in that category it doesn't matter if they can sing.
It's an entertainment show at the end of the day.

Toyota Tundra Engine Issues
I have the 03 v8 with 58k,, I started to get the po156 code for check engine. I replaced the correct sensor but just received the same stating "circuit malfunction". ive read here that there could be a heat issue to close to other pipes or something like that. Any ideas would be grand at this point.
cat system going bad??
cat system going bad??
woodgreenfarms Posts: 1I saw your post and this might be related.
I have a 2000 Tundra. Last week the check engine light came on. My mechanic got a po135 code. He said it was for an oxygen sensor problem. He's a toyota mechanic but not a dealer. He heard there was an issue with Tundra oxygen sensors and suggested I contact toyota to see if it was a recall. If it was covered it could save me $250 plus labor. He's an honest guy. I tried the toyota web site, 800 number and the local dealer and none had any notices or recalls. I spoke with him today and he said try again, he thought there was a notice or something but he doesn't have any more information. He said some bad parts don't get recalled, they call it a campaign? They won't contact all the owners and offer the repair but if you ask they'll pay for it. At the least we can get counted as another owner with the problem that may eventually lead to a recall or campaign.
I'm going to try again to see if I can find any assistance. I'll keep you posted. Please let me know if you learn anything. If anyone else has information to add it would be appreciated.
great thanks, the sensor was replaced after the first code then another came back about two weeks later. I have a few things to consider still, like the mass air flow sensor cleaning, is it the cat actually failing, there's nothing left to replace after that point.
I'll keep you in the loop.
ok, the update.
I replaced the spark plugs, I cleaned the KN mass air flow sensor. 300miles later I got the po161 code again. I'm really perplexed right now, I just may replace the cat system as thats all that left for thet system (i think), remember I already replced the 02 sensor and the code came back. I'm assuming it's noty the new sensor.
Maybe replace the cat system.
Any ideas left??
I have a 2004 toyota tundra I just bought and notice that when I start it up when cold I get a lot of blue smoke for a few minutes than goes away I had it check out at the dealer and they said everything was fine, I really don't like it, I did not notice this when I bought it two months ago, could it be the oil? its running standard 5-30 oil,they say no, some say use synthetic oil does this help? I only have 36000 miles on it, it does have a superchager and headers with daul exhaust from the factory. any info would help.
alps Posts: 2I was a diesel engine mechanic in the navy a long time ago,
the other party that replied to you, is probably correct. I
would probably suspect the valve seals and or the rings as
the rulpret. And I want to ask, a supercharger or a turbo-
charger. There is a distinct difference. Is it belt driven,
or powered off of the exhaust. If this is the case, either
way you are probably running to much boost; which would
cause the seals on the valve or too much boost would be
putting too much pressure to the indiviual block bores. That
maybe why you are experiencing the deadly blue smoke. Be
exf150owner Posts: 5I need that too. I put the o-ring in the wrong place at first ( at the bottom and not in the groove ) and now have a very , very minor leak from the bottom of the filter housing. I think i streched/niked the o-ring . The leak is hardly noticeable but drives me crazy. Of course the girlfriend says i should have taken it to the dealer for an oil change
I have a 2007 Tundra with the 5.7L engine. I was just wondering for all the people with the same engine size, how high your truck RPM's jump to in the morning startup, and about how long it takes before the RPM's drop below 1000. My truck's RPM's jump to about 2000 RPM's and don't drop below 1000 until about 45 seconds to a minute after startup. I know all about cold startups and how its normal for the RPM's to be higher in the morning due to colder temperatures, but I dont ever remember my truck's RPM's jumping that high and taking so long to lower to a normal RPM. So Im just curious as to how your trucks are in the morning?
apptun Posts: 18I was told that on some Toyota vehicles that you have to replace the mass air flow sensor to realize the full benefit of a cold air intake system. Is this true? I am also curious as to the noise level of the Borla cat back system. I have decided to spend some money on my current Tundra to prevent the purchase of a new one. Thanks.
etothexdx Posts: 5I have a 4.0 v6 2006 SR5 Tundra. Each time I start the truck it takes the oil pressure guage almost 6 seconds before it will register. In other words, after I start the engine, the guage reads zero pressure for about 6 seconds then it will shoot up to about midway. Has anyone else had this experience?
I have a 2008 tundra and i have the same thing. Mine will rev to about 1800 rpm when i first start it the morning and hold that for about a minute, and then it will gradually start to come back.I only have 600 miles on it and will take it in and see if this is normal for this engine. I also have an issue with the oil pressure which i'll take up with the service rep when i take it in.I'm like you in believeing that this is a little high of a rev when you first start it. I'll let you know what they say about it when i take it in.

The San Mateo County Transportation Authority Board (TA) reelected officers and swore-in three returning board members at its meeting earlier this week.
The Board of Directors re-elected Carole Groom, who also serves on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, as the board's chair.
Karyl Matsumoto, who represents the SamTrans board, was re-elected as vice-chair.
Supervisor Groom, Half Moon Bay City Councilmember Naomi Patridge and Burlingame City Councilmember Terry Nagel will also serve another term on the Board.
Redwood City Councilmember and former mayor Rosanne Foust will be sworn in at February's board meeting.
One board position, recently vacated by retiring Brisbane City Councilmember Sepi Richardson, will be filled by the City Selection Committee. The position represents the northern county cities.
The Transportation Authority is responsible for administering the Measure A half-cent sales tax. The reauthorized measure, which went into effect on Jan. 1, 2009, includes new programs and projects such as ferry service to South San Francisco and Redwood City and a major infusion of tax dollars for pedestrian and bicycle projects, said Christine Dunn, spokesperson for the TA, in a statement this week.
The TA board regularly meets on the first Thursday of each month at 5 p.m. at 1250 San Carlos Ave. in San Carlos.

text: Most products can be seen as a commodity, part of the pack, until something comes and catapults it from the chorus line and makes it a star. More often than not, that "something" is good design. Where functionality and aesthetics meet. Spend some time at the Cooper-Hewitt museum which is dedicated to historic and contemporary design and you'll know what I mean (91st St/5th Avenue, but currently undergoing renovations). Kitchen gadgets were boring and utilitarian until OXO decided they didn't have to be. Same thing with Alessi. Soap was a low-interest categories until Method came on the scene and shook things up. That's why I find the news that PepsiCo has created the role of Chief Design Officer intriguing. Not just because they hired Mauro Porcini, formerly 3M's design guru, but because I'm curious to see how design can help PepsiCo shake up the category.

The zippers have held out well. Lots of pockets. It seems pretty tough. Still looks new after year in my care. Does it look girlie? Maybe a little but my care factor for what others think is very low.

MILL CREEK, Wash. – University of Washington running back Johri Fogerson was arrested Thursday morning for investigation of possession of marijuana and resisting arrest after he ran off following a traffic stop.
Fogerson was stopped by a state trooper in the Mill Creek Area because the Lexus he was driving was missing a headlight, according to the state patrol.
"Getting the paperwork from the driver and the vehicle registration, the trooper sees some marijuana in the vehicle, or a baggie of it," Trooper Keith Leary said.
After being handcuffed, Forgerson allegedly ran away, was chased and eventually got away from the trooper. But about three hours later, Forgerson decided to turn himself in.
"Some phone calls had transpired either from his mother or to his mother or something to that affect, where he wanted to turn himself in," said Leary.
Before going to UW, Forgerson was a star player at O'Dea High School in Seattle. He played two years at UW and was knocked out early last season with an injury.
"I think deep down Johri is a good kid, but we've got to find out the specifics of everything before we can pass any judgement," head football coach Steve Sarkisian said. "We'll sit down with his family and get to the point where we are all on the same page of whatever happened and where we are going to go from there."
WSP couldn't immediately say if Forgerson was under the influence when he was pulled over. He is facing charges of possession of marijuana and resisting arrest.
His mother, who is a Seattle police officer, paid to bail her son out of the Snohomish County Jail.

By turns moving and funny, Ignacio Ferreras' animated tale of two elderly men who become friends at a care facility for the aged is based on Paco Roca's multiple award-winning graphic novel of the same name. Combining an honestly come by poignancy with bursts of caustic humour, this is an extraordinarily involving work for adults that earns it laughs even as it generates a profound sympathy for the unforgettable Emilio and Miguel.
Formerly a bank manager, Emilio is suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's and is disoriented by his new surroundings at the care facility. His roommate Miguel, a care-facility veteran and a brazen trickster, turns out to be an unexpected source of support. Emilio—like all the the "clients" at the home—fears being moved to the dreaded top floor, nown as the floor for "lost causes." Miguel, naturally enough, hatches a wild plan to make sure that doesn't happen…
"It's funny, it's sad, it's sweet, it's heartbreaking. It's brilliant."

"One of the most accomplished Spanish films, from any genre, of recent years." Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter

It will be interesting to hear what NFL Network announcers Bob Papa and Matt Millen say about interim Buffalo Bills Coach Perry Fewell during tonight's game with the New York Jets from Toronto.
Fewell has already received the endorsement of the NFL Network's Mike Martz, the former head coach of the St. Louis Rams. This week he said of Fewell: "He is very sharp. This is a terrific pick for a head coach. He did a great job as (defensive) co-ordinator and he has the respect of the players. I love the guy."
The love from Martz shouldn't be a surprise since he has a tie with Fewell. Fewell was his secondary coach for two years in St. Louis.
Martz apparently is following the Bills situation closely. Last week, ESPN.com reporter Tim Graham reported a league source said Martz is interested in the Bills coaching job.
By the way, tonight's game is being carried by Channel 7 here, as well as The NFL Network.

Students campaign against 'land grabs'
2:35pm Sunday 9th December 2012 in News By Gavin Havery, Reporter (Derwentside & Tyneside)
STUDENTS staged a 'land grab' in Durham's historic Market Place over the weekend.
The event was part on an Oxfam campaign against unlawful land acquisitions perpetrated by corporations and governments around the world.
It aims to highlight how they plunge small scale farming communities into further poverty and hunger.
Organiser Lorna Zacharek, 20, who lives on Claypath in Durham, who is in her final year of theology and anthropology at Durham University, said: "The amount of land worldwide that was sold in the past decade is enough to feed a billion people.
"If we are really concerned the number of hungry people rising, then we should do everything we can to stop land-grabbing becoming the scandal of the 21st century."
Last weekend a similar event was held at Angel of the North in Gateshead, when Anthony Gormley's statue was surrounded by large 'for sale' signs.
Miss Zacharek said: "Big land deals are tearing whole communities apart, leaving people hungry and homeless.
"What would happen to North-East communities if their land was suddenly claimed?
"What would happen if a beloved treasure like the Angel of the North was sold and taken away from us or if Durham Cathedral was sold to make space for some mining?"

LornaZ says...
Infact they are actually losing their livelihoods as they no longer have land to farm in order to feed themselves and their families and to earn a living.
Also whilst this land is often used to grow food this is then exported so the local people rarely benefit from these land deals.

5x7 is a good format to work in. Not perfect, but none is if it does not fit your vision.
5x7 is a good format to work in. Not perfect, but none is if it does not fit your vision.
Alberto Bregani | Mountain Photographer
My starting page
nice thread
thanks again
Alberto Bregani | Mountain Photographer
My starting page
This forums owner, Q.T. Luong (I do hope I've spelled his name correctly!) works in 5x7 format, You might want to take a look at his very impressive portfolio as an example.
I think something like a 5x7 Nagaoka would be a near ideal camera---probably lighter than your current Shen! The only significant difference would be the larger film holders. BUT if you're getting satisfaction with your 4x5, really why move up? If you're planning on making huge enlargements, maybe?
I steal time at 1/125th of a second, so I don't consider my photography to be Fine Art as much as it is petty larceny.
You are getting a lot of great advice but ultimately it's a decision that only you can make.
I recommend borrowing a 5x7 and trying it out if that is at all possible. If not then maybe you could buy one used at a fair price and then sell it and get most of your money back if it doesn't suit you.
There is nothing like first hand experience.
5x7 should not be considered as a replacement for 4x5: it's a different instrument, with a different personality - in the same way that a trombone is different from a trumpet, a viola is different from a violin, etc.
Some people find it helpful to stay with only 1 lens, one camera, one one one. Other people find it helpful to use a variety of cameras, lenses, and... formats.
I saw this thread this morning as I was on my way out the door and couldn't respond, and now I find that there are so many good opinions that I'm not sure if I have much to add. But for what it's worth...
About a year ago, I bought a camera that had both 4x5 and 5x7 backs and decided to try my hand at 5x7. I had worked some with an 8x10 and a lot with a 4x5 but never 5x7 and I wanted to attempt something new. I also thought it would be good to challenge myself a little by composing with a different shape. So, after a year, and over two hundred negatives, I would answer your original question by saying... probably not. Or maybe I would say that it comes down what is important to you-the end result or the process. I believe that both are important, but what I mean is, does one outweigh the other? Composing on 5x7 glass is truly a joy, and there is something very satisfying in simply handling those larger negatives (after working with 5x7's for a time, 4x5's seems miniature). And at least for me, a 5x7 holder feels perfect in the hands. However, as others have said, unless you're making gigantic prints, or contact prints, I'm not sure you'd see a difference in the quality of the pictures. And (as has also been said) there is a cost to 5x7, both financial and physical. To say nothing of dwindling film choices. But hey, if you're driven to do it, I don't think anything will stop you, nor should it.
As for me, lately I've been thinking of masking off my glass to shoot 5x5 squares. I am a mystery even to myself.
Thank you again friend
you all really gave me a lot of great advice
I'd like to answer you one by one
@ John Kasaian: -->"BUT if you're getting satisfaction with your 4x5, really why move up? If you're planning on making huge enlargements, maybe? " -
good question John. I'm completely satisfied with my shen; she has everything i need considering what i have to do ( going around mountains with a good quality , lightweight, handy and nice - why not? - LF camera). When i print for myself i print (square format - hasselblad and rolleiflex) 30x30cm; when i exhibit i print 50x50 ( i still have to exhibit with large format) and considering the ratio with large format negatives i should print rectangular, so 30x40 for myself and 50x60 for exhibitions ( plus passe-partout and frame.) . So I don't need larger prints. I suppose 4x5 negatives are good enough for those sizes and i won't move up just for negatives size: i hope you agree.
My point to move to 5x7 is COMPOSITION: i mean as I wrote previously a 4x5 camera is quite "little" for me. When i'm under that dark cloth i'd like to have a bigger GG to compose in a better way, to have a brighter vision of the scene. if 8x10 is too big for me (too heavy considering film holders, tripod and so on ) and 4x5" is too little, i suppose 5x7 could fit my needs in a better way: it is not too heavy than the 4x5 so i can carry with my backpack and i could use it with the same tripod i use for 4x5"
I've read many of you writing ( Austin, just to mention one of you) "Composing on 5x7 glass is truly a joy," - Yes, so true and this is very important for me: composing the best way you can ( i mean in terms of "feeling good when you compose so you can focus on the scene and nothning else" ) is the first step (to try) to make a great image
So, is it worth to move to 5x7 JUST for composing in a better way since i don't need to change for negatives, i don't need to change to use longer lenses?
That's my first question to answer. Obviously i know that gonig for the 5x7 format all the process will earn in terms of quality ( negatives, scanning them, contact prints and so on), but i'd just like to talk about composition
@Ken, thanks a lot: we are completely lined up
if you just take a a look at my "vision" or "statement" ( i don't know the right expresisoni in english) on my "Starting Page" you can read this : "Mountains and photography involve walking, letting your eyes guide you, improvising, discovering, moving from place to place, and seeing familiar ones in a new light. Just one camera, one lens, a tripod and handful of black-and-white rolls your only companions." I don't use many lenses: when i go out shooting with rolleiflex it means just one lens, with hasselblad for me it means just two lenses ( 80 and 150) and with large format two lenses too.. dependind where i'm going to shoot. Anyway no more than two at a time: less is more it's my philosophy.
@ Alan said --> I recommend borrowing a 5x7 and trying it out if that is at all possible." ..heheh here in Italy large format camera are not so "popular". There is not a huge community as you have in Usa. Yes, maybe you can ask someone for a 5x7 to lend you, but maybe he is 500km far away from you... and to test a camera for me it means to use it for one/two months at least..
So i think could be better to buy one and "then sell it and get most of your money back if it doesn't suit you"
Ok think i've talk too much :-)
hope i have clearly explained my point of view
Looking forward to read your comments
ps anyway i'm going to convince myself i could have them both... maybe could be the right way to follow once i've tested one
When i go climb i take the 4x5
when i don't climb and i just go for mountain landscapes i could take the 5x7 one..
Simple. ;-)
Alberto Bregani | Mountain Photographer
My starting page
You're dealing with a complete system that you are part of. When presbyopia sets in, you'll appreciate the much easier viewing and focusing available with a 5x7. Should your distance vision require negative diopter correction and you either wear eyeglasses or a different contact lens in each eye, 5x7 enables working without a loupe. Also worth knowing is that one can get a Maxwell Hi-Lux integral screen/fresnel for 5x7. Larger formats are stuck with actual ground glass and a separate fresnel, a less bright combination.
Another thing to consider is how many lenses of what focal lengths you carry. This can impact the weight/bulk differences between 4x5 and 5x7 kits almost as much as camera and holders will.
Using black and white film exclusively in large format, my approach has been to stick with 5x7 on the longest hikes for as long as I can carry it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) tonight issued the following statement regarding Senate passage of the STOCK Act:
"I'm pleased that the Senate passed a stronger STOCK Act today to prevent Members of Congress and staff from using insider information for their financial benefit. Insider trading at any level of the federal government is unacceptable. We will quickly review the entire bill and the amendments that were added today to ensure that public servants, whether in the legislative or executive branch, do not personally profit from insider information. It is critical that the bill we send to the President guarantees that the same rules apply to those in the federal government as they do to everyone else. Therefore, it is my intention to schedule consideration of the Senate-passed STOCK Act on the House floor next week."
