SLR, or single lens reflex, cameras remain the most popular type of interchangeable-lens camera, having been around since the 1940s.
The digital versions pick up from the tried and tested design of SLR film cameras, and digital SLRs remain hugely popular with enthusiast photographers and pros. As with the other camera types discussed here, there are different types of SLR for different market segments – from entry-level models aimed at people wanting to progress beyond point and shoot, to pro-spec warhorses.
Entry-level models, notably the Canon EOS 100D, are compact too, so it's not always an obvious choice between an SLR and CSC. Here are some things to consider...
SLR sensors are usually either APS-C (the same as some CSCs) or full-frame format.
As mentioned, a full frame sensor is the same size as 35mm film negative 'frame.' This means that its light sensitive pixels (photosites) can be larger than those on APS-C format sensors. So, more light can enter these larger photosites, which can mean better dynamic range and less noise compared to cameras with APS-C chips.
Also APS-C sensors, being smaller, only capture a portion of a scene compared to full-frame – the so-called 'crop factor'.
This is particularly good for wide-angle images, such as landscapes. However, this isn't to say that APS-C sensors are 'worse' than full frame, just different. Some photographers prefer the way the crop factor gives you more 'reach;' SLRs with APS-C sensors, and compatible lenses, are usually cheaper too!
If you prefer a traditional optical viewfinder for composing images, rather than an Electronic Viewfinder or LCD, then it's SLRs all the way.
Bear in mind that cheaper SLRs have optical viewfinders that contain mirrors rather than the glass prisms and superior optics found in the viewfinders of higher-end SLRs.
Lens choice
Another big advantage of SLRs over the CSCs is the much wider choice of keenly priced lenses – you're plugging in to a whole photographic 'system.' Plus, some old Canon and Nikon lenses for film SLRs will also work on digital SLRs (though check for the particular SLR you are thinking about buying). There's also a much bigger used market for SLR lenses.
Which lens? Choose the best lens for your DSLR
Build and handling
SLRs tend be sturdy – even Nikon's entry level D3300 has a tough monocoque body – so they may be a better choice than a CSC if they're going to get some rough handling, but top-end CSCs also have a tough build and some, such as the Fuji X-T1 and Olympus OM-D E-M1, are weatherproof.
Just remember that higher-end SLRs tend to be much bigger and heavier than higher-end CSCs. Nikon's full-frame D800 weighs a hulking 900g (body only), compared to 407g for Sony's full-frame Alpha A7RCSC. Add a long lens and you're suddenly hauling around a lot of camera...
Extra features
All decent digital SLRs now shoot HD video, but as with CSCs, not all have built-in flash – the thinking being that higher-end SLRs will be used with more powerful stand-alone flashguns.
Built-in Wi-Fi and vari-angle screens are becoming more common on mid-range models, a good example being the Nikon D5300, but touch-control is thin on the ground.
How much should I spend?
Good entry-level SLRs, such as the Canon EOS 1100D, can be snapped up for under £250 / US$450 / AU$400 with a basic 'kit' lens, while a quality mid-range model, such as the Nikon D7100 costs around £840 / US$1,150 / AU$1,250 body only.
Full-frame SLRs such as Nikon's D610 start at around £1400 / US$1,900 / AU$2,000 body only, so you can see the price jump.
A quick word about rangefinders
Another type of camera we need to talk about is what's called a rangefinder. These use a dual-image rangefinding device to focus; when the two images correlate, you have perfect focus.
While they take some getting used to, rangefinders are still popular in the digital age, as they are usually discrete, compact and quiet. They also weigh less, since they don't have mirrors or prisms that flip.
Leica rules the roost when it comes to digital rangefinders, and you'll pay for a premium for this legendary name: even the entry level rangefinder, the Leica M, costs around £5,100 / US$7,000 / AU$9,000 body only.
If that seems excessive, note that rangefinder-style CSCs are now becoming popular, a good example being the Fujifilm X-Pro1.

Well, today I said something to you about your judgementalness.
You called my friend a derogatory term meant for very large women whose bodies might resemble football players that begins with a and ends with n. I told I thought that word was mean. You said it didn't matter because she wasn't there to hear it, so I told you that yesterday I called you a fat-ass behind your back and asked, "Does that hurt your feelings?"
See, you forced me to be mean, and now I'm tired from it. Not appreciated.
So, I've been struggling with something. Some people are really judgmental and it bugs me. Is tumblr an okay place for me to vent this? I hope so.
Sure, I'm guilty of it sometimes, but after the nonsense I heard today, I've decided, I'm quitting it.
So what if someone is overweight? So what if they don't cut their hair in a fashion that you find appealing? So what if they sag their drawers? It's none of my business, and it's none of yours. It just makes me want to be mean to you, and being mean takes up a lot of energy, so I really don't appreciate you forcing that on to me.
And secondly, if you're going to parade around and talk about nothing but going to church Sunday morning, evening, and Wednesday night and make it a point to come to the lunch gathering and pray in a way to intentionally make the rest of us feel like assholes for eating already, then you better shut your ever loving pie hole about how other people choose to live their lives, cause the last time I checked, Jesus wasn't all about you going around passing judgement on others.
Side note: I looked up the word ostensibly in the thesaurus today b/c I was thinking about using it but I wanted to be sure I used it accurately, cause lord knows the last thing I want is to offend someone by misusing the English language, and under "Related Words" it said pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

Supreme Court tells Karnataka to check Devadasis practice
The Supreme Court Thursday directed Karnataka's chief secretary to ensure that no girls are offered Thursday night or Friday as devotees of temples in the "Devdasi" practice.
A bench of Chief Justice P. Sathasivam, Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai and Justice Ranjan Gogoi directed the official to take all "preventive measure in the conduct of the programmes to be held in the early hours of Feb 14, where girls are being dedicated as devotees to the temple (Uttangi Mala Durga Temple)".
"We also direct the chief secretary (to ensure) that no such incident (of dedicating girls as devotees to temples) takes place either on Feb 13 or Feb 14."
The court issued notice to the central and Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu governments and the National Commission for Women (NCW) returnable in four weeks.
The petitioner, S.L Foundation, had urged the court to direct the central and Karnataka governments to take urgent steps for restraining the devadasis' dedication that was going to be held on the midnight of Feb 13 at Uttangi Mala Durga Temple in the state's Devanagar district as it was against the provision of the constitution.
The court was told that the activity was also against the Karnataka Devadasis Prohibition of Dedication Act, 1982, and conflicts with the rights of juvenile.
As counsel V.K. Biju, appearing for the Foundation, mentioned the matter before the court, the chief justice observed: "Such an important matter and you come at such a belated stage?"
The PIL referred to the media reports which said that NCW has found that there were 2.5 lakh Dalit girls dedicated to temples in the Karnataka-Maharashtra border region. The PIL said that the reports also said that a 1993-94 survey found that there were 22,873 devadasis spread over ten districts and another survey in 2007 had put this number at 30,000 in 14 districts.
Describing the practice as a national shame, the PIL said that "right to live" guaranteed under the constitution is a "right to live with dignity and decency".
The NGO has sought direction to the central government to frame a law and guidelines to prohibit the practice of devadasis dedication of girls in any part of the country.
Seeking the rehabilitation of the girls who had become the victim of evil practice, the petitioner has also sought directions to the NCW to take steps for stopping reprehensible practice in the country and submit a detailed report to the court.

Rivera's political connections and loyalty to the Democratic Party are one of the central themes of his campaign, perhaps because many consider the incumbent he is challenging the antithesis of that. Democratic State Senator Pedro Espada, the 33rd district's incumbent, briefly defected to the Republican Party in June 2009, helping to temporarily shift the Senate's balance of power to Republican control. In addition, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo filed a lawsuit against Espada in April, accusing him and his aides and family members of looting $14 million from the chain of health clinics that he launched.
Espada's political misfortune and Rivera's strategy of branding himself as a loyal and well-connected Democrat have helped Rivera marshal substantial support. "It was a disgraceful ploy for political power," Rivera said of Espada's party switch. "It was not about the community. It was not about getting better resources for the community he represents. It was about him getting political power and that's what his actions demonstrate."
Yet despite the coalescence of an anti-Espada movement around Rivera, Rivera says the race is not just about dislodging Espada. He says it's about bringing to the community much needed resources such as jobs and housing. "It is real easy to say anybody but Espada, but I believe that our standards have to be much higher than that," he said. "The point of all this work was to make sure we have people in office who would actually be responsive to the people they represent."
Espada did not respond to multiple requests for an interview. But on the Brian Lehrer Show, he said the allegations against him have been designed to punish him for switching parties and only serve to distraction attention from the community's needs. "The day has come where we have to have a balanced conversation about what kind of policies we're going to set forth in housing and many other areas," Espada told Lehrer. "We're at a point in time where you can play political games and get nowhere or you can deal with substance and really good policies and actually uplift our economy and actually uplift the daily lives of people. That's what I'm about."
Substantial Support
Rivera has raised about $188,000 and earned at least 13 endorsements, leaving him the last candidate standing in field that once contained four challengers. His endorsers include two SEIU locals – 1199 and 32BJ – and elected officials such as Bronx Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz andBronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
His former rivals have rallied around his candidacy. Former challenger Dan Padernacht, a northwest Bronx attorney, dropped out and endorsed Rivera earlier this month. Two days later, another former challenger, northwest Bronx activist Desiree Pilgrim Hunter, also backed Rivera. "Espada has repeatedly demonstrated a total disregard for his office, the needs of our constituents, and a complete disloyalty to the Democratic Party," she said in a statement. "It's time to elect the leader this community deserves. We need a senator who will stand side-by-side with the residents of his district and fight to build a stronger Northwest Bronx community and to bring much needed reform to the Democratic Party."
Padernacht's endorsement stands to help Rivera win some of the Northwest Bronx's white voters, said Jordan Moss, the editor-in-chief and interim publisher of Norwood News, a paper covering the area. The majority Latino 33rd district is 10 percent Non-Hispanic white, said Fernando Tirado, district manager for community board 7. "The likelihood is that most of that vote (former Padernacht supporters) would go for Gustavo. I think that's kind of clear, based on people that we talk to, based on comments on the blog. It's not a scientific thing. It's a gut thing based on knowing the community," Moss said.
Is it personal, or is it policy?
Rivera's platform is a detailed, 10-plank amalgamation of various progressive policy initiatives ranging from budget and ethics reform to reproductive and gay rights. He also believes that state government should be run more efficiently and advocates eliminating duplicative government jobs and services. "We need to look at them to see how we could potentially restructure those authorities and agencies with an eye toward not having an undue impact on the front-line worker, which is, a lot of time, the people that provide the services, and the people that get cut first," he said. "I think we need to look at management in certain authorities and agencies across the state."
To protect affordable housing in the Bronx, Rivera supports the repeal of vacancy decontrol, a policy that converts certain rent-stabilized apartments to market-rate apartments. He wants to see Senate bill 2237, sponsored by Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins of Yonkers, become law. In addition to repealing vacancy decontrol, the bill would return to rent-stabilization 90 to 95 percent of the apartments de-controlled in the past 15 years, Rivera said. Rivera also vows to work to repeal the Urstadt Law, which places control of New York City rent laws in the state legislature's hands.
Espada, the chairman of the Senate's Housing, Construction and Community Development committee, rebuffed the efforts of New York City housing activists to repeal vacancy decontrol this term by failing to schedule a hearing on a bill aiming to repeal it. But in his interview with Brian Lehrer, Espada described himself as a champion of affordable housing and other progressive causes such as ending the Rockefeller drug laws, protecting student MetroCards and creating a domestic workers' bill of rights. He said he sponsored a bill that would have frozen the rent of 600,000 households in New York City and issued more bond financing for affordable housing than has been issued in 40 years. By comparison, Rivera is inexperienced, he said. "We have a record. My opponent has zero record," Espada told Lehrer. "Mr. Rivera has never created a job in his life."
Voter Turnout
Turnout in the 33rd district is historically low, Tirado said: In 2008, -- during a landmark Presidential primary – only about 9,000 of the district's approximately 120,000 registered Democrats turned out. And despite the negative media attention that Espada has received, he has many supporters in the community.

Philly Brown Bags, the Winless Wiz, and a Bobkittens Blowout
By Pauly
Los Angeles, CA
Monday Night Football. What a shit show. The suits must've been bumming. Preseason, the game looks great on paper because both teams were projected to be a lot better than what actually happened. Philly was supposed to be on top of the NFC standings with Cam Newton and Carolina coming to town. But Carolina sucks because they can't play defense and Cam Newton throws too many INTs, and Philly is well…. Philly.
How bad has it gotten in Philly? The brown bags were out in force. It was a trend that started in the 1970s when fans were so embarrassed to be a fan (insert crappy team here _____) that they hid their shame with a grocery bag over their heads because they didn't want friends at home to see them sitting in the stands.
We were all over Carolina -2.5 and they locked it up for us despite a rare offensive outburst by Philly. I honestly thought Philly's D was going to step up and play hard only because they had shit-stained team with only 2 wins visiting them on their own turf. If there was ever a team to blowout on national TV, it's the Carolina Panthers. Even under those circumstances, Philly's D failed to show up in the second half. They got lucky with a few Newton-induced turnovers, which translated into a free Philly points in the first half. To Newton's credit, the kid reduced his turnovers in the second half and Carolina won the battle of the trenches. Carolina got their third win while Philly players went diving for paper bags to put over their heads as they walked off the field.
It can't get any worse than what drunken, bitter Jets fans did by trolling their own players at halftime with "Tebow save us!!" That was the Jets "good job, good effort" moment.
We whiffed on our UNDER 41 bet but we saved faced when Carolina covered. We finished a sick run in the NFL over the last two weeks at 17-5-2.
We had just a single game in the NBA… San Antonio -5.5 in our operation Fade the Wiz.
Of course, as soon as we stop Fading the Bobbkittens, they get absolutely blown out of the water during a trip to OKC. I was worried that OKC would struggle covering 12.5 even at home. I usually lean "dog" whenever NBA spreads get over double digits. But we decided to play it safe and pass.
Boy, were we wrong!
Yes, that's not a typo or glitch. I thought something was fishy when I was on NBA Season Pass and saw that the Bobkittens only scored 24 points and it was 2 minutes into the 3Q. WTF?
I watched for a few minutes and OKC jumped out to a 51 point lead. I had never seen an NBA game with a lopsided score like that. It reminded me of those 1980s teams from Georgetown when Coach Thompson scheduled cream puff games versus D-III squads like Sr. Mary's of the Immaculate Bleeding Heart.
Everyone bombarded me with texts… "WTF mate? Why didn't we Fade the Bobkittens!"
Hey, we faded the Wiz and that wasn't even close. Spurs were up by 20 for most of the night and won by 26… covering by 20! The Wiz are still winless. Yeah, they have Nene back but he's playing limited minutes and they desperately miss John Wall. But even with healthy Wall and Nene, they are still a break-even team. For now, keep fading the Wiz especially on the road.
We also decided to re-tweak our position on the Bobkittens…. pass on them at home, but fade them on the road.
Anyway, we went 1-0 in the NBA… which is a part of our new approach of less is more. It seems when we only bet 1 NBA game a night, our record is much better than when we opt for 3 or 4 games a night. Right now, our record is a crap-tacular 37-31-2 and my goal is for us to go 13-4 over the next 17 picks instead of 10-7.
Oh, so I watched all of the battle of NYC hoops… the Knicks went to Brooklyn to take on the Nets. It was cool to hear Marv Albert broadcasting the game in his home borough. The Knicks had an off night and choked. The let the Nets beat them in OT when they ran out of gas. Melo and Ty Chandler scored 60+ combined, but no one else on the team scored in double digits. That lack of "spreading the ball around" hurt them because no one else could score. Ray Felton had an awful night from the floor and the Knicks actually missed Jason Kidd's presence. Kidd played very well in the last couple weeks… and when Kidd makes positive contributions, then the team wins.
Now the Brooklyn Nets are ahead of the Knicks in the standings.

Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said: "Allie, I'm not playing. It's time for art. The rule is no hoods or hats in school."
She looked up with tears in her eyes and I realized there was something wrong. Her classmates went into the art room and we moved to the art storage area so her classmates wouldn't hear our conversation. I softened my tone and asked her if she'd like to tell me what was wrong.
"My ponytail," she cried.
"Can I see?" I asked.
She nodded and pulled down her hood. Allie's braids had come undone overnight and there hadn't been time to redo them in the morning, so they had to be put back in a ponytail. It was high up on the back of her head like those of many girls in our class, but I could see that to Allie it just felt wrong. With Allie's permission, I took the elastic out and re-braided her hair so it could hang down.
"How's that?" I asked.
She smiled. "Good," she said and skipped off to join her friends in art.

I worked at J.P. Morgan full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
Some of the smartest and hardest working people I've ever worked with. Expectations are high and that you can keep up in the fast paced environment.Cons
Low pay despite long hours and high performance (consistently highly rated but compensation never reflected it - main driver of my departure).
Lots of bureaucracy to deal with, sometimes impedes progress and makes decision making harder than it should beApproves of CEO

Oh Look, An Actual Piece of Informative Political Reporting
"The real campaign is startlingly simple: it is the Obama team's fanatical pursuit, behind the scenes, diagram by diagram, plan by plan, of what politicos call the 'base vote.' These are the Democratic leaners who will be deciding not between Obama and Romney, but between voting for Obama and not voting at all."

YES. This is also why the first debate was so damaging at the time…
I desperately want to understand the urge not to vote for Obama because you believe he hasn't presided in a sufficiently leftward fashion. Like, I feel as if there must be some complex but ultimately philosophically sound reasoning there. But every time I go over it in my head, I just end up thinking, No, that's fucking stupid.
@Moff And yet your clunky, weary sentences don't really do it for me either.
@my_piru: My clunky, weary sentences are an acquired taste.
@Moff When I was young, I'd sneak reads of your sentences on my dad's Gawker account when he was away for the weekend.
Pretty sure it resulted in me throwing up.
@Multiphasic: THEN I HAVE DONE MY JOB.

Virage Adds Automatic Number Plate Recognition

SAN FRANCISCO, California - Virage, a wholly owned subsidiary of Autonomy Corporation and a leading supplier and visionary in Rich Media Management technology, today added Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to its rapidly expanding Security and Surveillance product set. Neurodynamics ANPR, which utilizes state of the art neural network techniques and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), allows organizations to identify and track both moving and stationary vehicles entirely automatically.
Featuring Optical Character Recognition, Neurodynamics ANPR offers a powerful solution able to conduct automatic number plate recognition operations even when visibility is low due to adverse weather or poor light conditions, including at night. Capable of recognizing all international plates, Neurodynamics ANPR is suitable for a wide range of applications including car park surveillance, traffic law enforcement, access control, monitoring in car payments, border controls and identifying stolen vehicles. High performance OCR enables Neurodynamics ANPR to recognize and record number plates at speeds exceeding 100 MPH in both high density and standard traffic flows. A full range of retrieval options including searching by number plate, partial plate, camera, date and time, allow surveillance staff to identify all vehicles accurately and efficiently. With inbuilt digital recording capabilities and the ability to integrate with multiple repositories such as police databases and traffic records, the launch of Neurodynamics ANPR brings new sophistication and analytics to vehicle identification.
Once a vehicle has been correctly identified, Neurodynamics ANPR will automatically trigger appropriate responses as defined by the operator. For example, where Neurodynamics ANPR is used monitor access to a site, if an unrecognized vehicle is detected, access will be declined and, if required, surveillance staff alerted to the vehicle. As part of Virage Security and Surveillance, Neurodynamics ANPR is invaluable in more complex vehicle tracking scenarios such as monitoring vehicle movements within large scale intelligence operations, as the system is able to make conceptual associations between recorded plates and other pieces of intelligence. Leveraging the power of Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) technology, Neurodynamics ANPR can correlate and cross reference recorded number plates with other data which relates to any specified vehicle in order to detect and interpret the significance of certain behaviors. For example, if a van is detected approaching a high security site, such as key government buildings, Virage Security and Surveillance would automatically alert staff to the fact that it was the fourth time that particular vehicle had entered the specified area within a given time period.
"We're proud to introduce automatic vehicle recognition capabilities to Virage Security and Surveillance and make widely available specialist products which have been tried and tested by key law enforcement agencies," said Rowan Gardner, Virage. "Neurodynamics ANPR offers a robust solution capable of recognizing number plates with unprecedented accuracy even in the most demanding environments such as adverse weather conditions, poor visibility, high density traffic flows and even when vehicles are traveling at high speeds."

Benefits of Silver
The silver ion (Ag+) is bioactive and in sufficient concentration readily kills bacteria in vitro. Silver and silver nanoparticles are used as an antimicrobial in a variety of industrial, healthcare and domestic applications.(1)
EPA micro-photo of silver ions
Pure silver has the ability to absorb oxygen and act as a catalyst for oxidation. "Oxidation," generally speaking, is when a chemical loses electrons. When silver atoms come near harmful bacteria, the oxygen in the silver reacts with sulfhydryl groups that surround a bacterium's surface. In viruses, the oxygen may react with the hydrogen atoms, removing them to create water. Both of these reactions may render the harmful pathogens unable to "breathe," thus killing them quickly. (2) In other words, Colloidal Silver disables the particular enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses, parasites, yeast, and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. The process used to manufacture colloidal silver creates very small silver ions with very high surface area, enabling your body to transport the colloidal through your bloodstream. For a given silver concentration (ppm), as the particle size decreases, particle surface area increases thus increasing the value of the efficiency index. Essentially, an increased particle surface area allows more silver to interact with and neutralize the disease-causing organism.
Artistic interpretation of a Silver Ion
Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. Since silver only kills anaerobic (non-oxygen breathing) bacteria, the friendly bacteria in the digestive tract are immune to it because they are aerobic (oxygen breathing). Colloidal silver is safe for humans, plants, animals, and all multi-celled living matter.
• Open cuts, sores, wounds, abrasions, razor nicks, scrapes, scratches, skin rashes, warts, poison oak & ivy.
• Apply directly to acne, pimples, moles, insect bites and stings, toothaches, itchy or irritated skin.
• Spray in shoes and between the toes in order to prevent athletes foot.
• Apply as an underarm deodorant, as most underarm odor is caused by bacteria being released by the sweat glands.
• Spray any surfaces that may harbor Salmonella, E. coli, etc.
• Swab air ducts, heating vents or air conditioner filters in order to prevent breeding sites for germs.
• Spray in garbage cans, on kitchen sponges, inside refrigerators in order to prevent noxious odors.
• Apply to toilet, shower stall, hot tub, or bath & shower mats.
• Add to final laundry rinse in order to prevent damp towels/diapers from mildew odor.
• Add to dishwater, cleaning and mopping solutions.
• Sterilize water sources while traveling or camping.
• Add to flower vases, potted plants, pet water or birdbaths.
Richard Davies and Samuel Etris of The Silver Institute, in a 1996 monograph entitled The Development and Functions of Silver in Water Purification and Disease Control, discuss three mechanisms of deactivation that silver utilizes to incapacitate disease causing organisms. They are Catalytic Oxidation, Reaction with Cell Membranes, and Binding with the DNA of disease organisms to prevent unwinding.
Catalytic Oxidation: Silver, in its atomic state, has the capacity to absorb oxygen and act as a catalyst to bring about oxidation. Atomic (nascent) oxygen absorbed onto the surface of silver ions in solution will readily react with the sulfhydryl (-S-H) groups surrounding the surface of bacteria or viruses to remove the hydrogen atoms (as water), causing the sulfur atoms to form an R-S-S-R bond; blocking respiration and causing the bacteria to expire. Employing a simple catalytic reduction/oxidation reaction, colloidal silver will react with any negative charge presented by the organism's transport or membrane proteins and deactivate them.
Reaction with Bacterial Cell Membranes: There is evidence that silver ions attach to membrane surface radicals of bacteria, impairing cell respiration and blocking its energy transfer system. One explanation is based on the nature of enzyme construction: Specific enzymes are required for a given biochemical activity to take place. Enzyme molecules usually require a specific metallic atom as part of the molecular matrix in order to function. A metal of higher valance can replace a metal of lower valance in the enzyme complex, preventing the enzyme from functioning normally. Silver, with a valance of plus 2, can replace many metals with a lower, or equal valance that exhibit weaker atomic bonding properties.
Binding with DNA: Studies by C.L. Fox and S.M. Modak with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a tenacious bacteria that is difficult to treat, demonstrated that as much as 12% of silver is taken up by the organism's DNA. While it remains unclear exactly how the silver binds to the DNA without destroying the hydrogen bonds holding the lattice together, it nevertheless prevents the DNA from unwinding, an essential step for cellular replication to occur.(3)
Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked with the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington University's Department of Surgery in the 1970s: "Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we have."
Science Digest cites colloidal silver as "…a wonder of modern medicine," and further states "Antibiotics kill perhaps a half dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is non-toxic. Colloidal silver, used as an anti-microbial agent, will not create super bugs as antibiotics do."
Alfred Searle, founder of the giant Searle Pharmaceuticals (now Monsanto) stated, "Applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results. For internal administration … it has the advantage being rapidly fatal to pathogens without toxic action on its host. It is quite stable." Further information indicates that Colloidal Silver does not cause harmful interactions with other medications or topical treatments.
In laboratory tests with colloidal silver, bacteria, viruses, and fungal organisms are killed within minutes of contact. Larry C. Ford, M.D. of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School of Medicine, Centre For The Health Sciences reported in November 1, 1988, "I tested them (the silver solutions) using standard anti-microbial tests for disinfectants. The silver solutions were anti-bacterial for concentrations of 105 organisms per ml of Streptococcus Pyogenes, Staphylococcus Aureus, Neisseria Gonorrhea, Gardnerella Vaginalis, Salmonella Typhi and other enteric pathogens, and fungicidal for Candida Albicans, Candida Globata and M. Furfur."
Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD, noted biomedical researcher from Syracuse University, and author of The Body Electric and Cross Currents, recognized a correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He said silver deficiency is responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. "What we have done is rediscover the fact that silver killed bacteria, which had been known for centuries." In the process of his work, Dr. Becker discovered that he had wiped out types of bacteria across the board, even those that were resistant to antibiotics." Regarding the innate ability of metallic silver to control infection, Dr. Becker said: "all of the organisms that we tested were sensitive to the electrically generated silver ion, including some that were resistant to all known antibiotics." On the safety of silver, he said, "in no case were any undesirable side effects of the silver treatment apparent."
Dr. Bart Flick of Argentum Medical LLC, another early pioneer in silver medical research, invented FDA approved Silverlon wound contact dressing. "The antimicrobial activity of silver rests upon the interaction of silver with the bacteria's cellular membrane. This interaction can occur through the presence of a silver ion in solution or the release of silver in an ionic moiety directly from the surface of metallic silver when a bacterial cell membrane comes in direct contact with the metallic surface."
Dr. Henry Crooks, author of Use of Colloids in Health Disease, found that silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to humans and absolutely non-toxic. From his bacteriological experiments with silver he concluded, "I know of no microbe that is not killed in laboratory experiments in six minutes."
Dr. Bjorn Nordenstrom, of the Larolinska Institute, Sweden, has successfully used silver as a component in his cancer treatments for many years.
Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, A. M., M. D. (John Hopkins) states, "Speaking generally, the colloidal metals are especially remarkable for their beneficial action in infective states."
Dr. Richard L. Davies, executive director of the Silver Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries, reports: "In four years we've described 87 important new medical uses for silver. We're just beginning to see to what extent silver can relieve suffering."
Peter Lindemann reports in his 1997 article, Colloidal Silver, A Closer Look, that a study conducted in part by the Institute of Microbiology in Rome, Italy and published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology (Dec. 1992), stated that "Pure electro-colloidal silver out- performed silver nitrate, silver chloride, and silver sulfadiazine as a broad spectrum germicide. For all classes of bacteria, fungus, and mold samples tested, pure electro-colloidal silver worked better, and at much lower concentrations. They concluded that any additives reduced the effectiveness of the pure silver ion."
According to Dr. Evan of Illinois, Kansas "We have had instant success with Colloidal Silver and immune compromised patients. A few examples are: Pink eye (topical) totally resolved in less than six hours; recurrent sinus infections (oral ingestion) resolved in eight days; acute cuticle infections resolved twenty four hours. Another major area in which we have improved our clinical results is in the area of bowel detoxification and dysbiosis. The colloidal silver has provided excellent removal of abnormal intestinal bacteria also it has proved to be a great adjunct to our Candida albicans, Epstein Barr Virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome protocols."

It was the 40th anniversary of the Buffalo Sabres and fans remembered their first and favorite Sabres games. Fans were preparing to turn tickets to the anniversary game into keepsakes.
"I'll attempt to scrapbook and we can like make one, we can make a scrap book!" said Lindsay Simon.
The team played their first game in NHL history on the road, beating the Pittsburgh Penguins two to one. Then their home opener on October 15, 1970 against the Montreal Canadiens. They lost that game zero to three, but won the hearts of proud fans across western New York for years to come.
"My first Sabres game was probably against Philadelphia back in '74," said Perry Sullivan.
"I actually got started because my sister is a huge Rick Martin fan, so my dad used to drop me and her off and come back and get us later," remembered Paul Zymanek.
And Jim Buettner said, "My first one was probably like 20 years ago! I won a contest, I won pre-season tickets and me and my parents went, so every since then I've been hooked!"
Friday's game against the Canadiens sparked a rivalry that started 40 years ago to the date.
"Montreal is going to win tonight! Sorry Sabres fans....on your 40th anniversary! And that's all I have to say," finished Tony Montana, a Canadiens fan.
One thing is for certain, win or loose, Sabres fans are proud to have a team to call their own.

Could have gone worse, I suppose, somehow
So my last predictions went through the end of the Lydia arc and started off ok, but ended up being a total disaster. So I'm revamping the format. I'm only gonna predict one episode out, but I'm going to be harsher on myself. I'm going to keep grading myself. My goal will be to stay above 50%.
Current average: 46%
Previous Results: 75%, 60%, 35%, 60%, 0%, 10%, 20%, 35%, 90%, 80%
Predictions for Monday: (God, I have no idea I'm flying so blind here this is gonna be embarassing, I apologize to my family).
Ok so I have no ideas, so I'm gonna try to deduce some things. Lizzie just found out about Darcy's involvement. Will she talk about it? I don't think she will, unless Charlotte makes her, which is entirely possible. We've seen that she's quite relucant to talk about Darcy on the camera. We know from the preview we're gonna see Mrs. Bennet costume theatre, presumably talking about Bing and Jane. I think, due to my calculations that the confrontation scene will be Thursday, allowing Darcy to show up cliffhanger style a week from Monday, and then we get proposal no. 2 on Thursday of next week, leaving them two videos for wrap up/goodbyes. So this video has to pave the foundation for the confrontation. Because of that, a lot of my predictions today have to do with how I think the confontation will go down. I think it will be Caroline, I think Caroline will be in town to close up Netherfield for Bing, I think we'll hear about that in the episode. I don't think she'd fly across the state just to tell Lizzie off, so I think she's in town already. I think Lizzie is going to talk about how now that Jane and Bing are an item, and in New York, the full force of her mother's match-making schemes are focused on her, but she's just trying to get a job/finish her thesis/find her last independant study. I also think we'll get Charlotte's reaction to the news that Darcy was involved, if she didn't know already. She did say she was going to be around for the next couple of months, and I think the most logical role for her to play is in causing Caroline to worry enough to come over and talk to Lizzie.
OH MY GOD I'M SUCH A FAILURE AT LIFE AND EVERYTHING WHAT AM I DOING. Anyway I was wrong that the confrontation wouldnt' be on Monday, so I loose half of the points for that off the bat. Lizzie didn't talk about Darcy's involvement, which I was right about. I was right that it was going to be Caroline, but they didn't say why she was in town. We didn't get Charlotte at all….So basically the only thing I got right was that Caroline was going to be doing the confrontation. That's it. And everyone knew that you dummy. So I'll give myself a 10% for trying and Caroline. I'm so bad at this game.
New Average: 42% [I apologize to my family.]
