DPS Member Survey: Composition vs "Croposition"
UPDATE: Croposition has been added as a word on Wikipedia here. I created the article just this evening! Tell me what you think of my explanation.
...as you know, I like to make it up as I go along. If you recall, I coined the term, "hydro-bokeh." Well, I'm at it again.
Back in the day, composition was much more critical on 35mm film, unless you had a sharp pair of scissors, and didn't mind putting your picture in an oddly shaped frame.
So now, I'm less worried about composition...I concentrate more on getting all the elements into the shot that I want. Then crop for effect during PP....thus the term, "croposition." I did a cursory search of the internet for that word...you heard it here first!!
I'm trying to poll DPS members to find out if they think croposition is cheating, or if it's just a benefit of the advent of technology.
Here's an example of croposition:
Out of the camera:
Cropped for effect:
With the hi-res sensors these days, you can crop 50-75% of the picture away and still be left with a very nice, sharp picture.
What are your thoughts?

I think, as with everything else with digital, it is best to do as much as you can in camera. If I'm taking pictures of a stationary subject, I'll get multiple angles and multiple possible crops. I also think it's important to pay attention to composition while you're shooting.
That said, there are also times where shooting with the deliberate knowledge that you're going to crop later is valuable. For example, if I'm shooting sports where I'm following the player with a central AF point, then I'll try to shoot a little wide so I have room to crop for composition later. There isn't time (for me, at least) to frame for composition with sports. I'm focused on the moment.
I'm afraid your term "croposition" is going to make people think that it indicates a deliberate laziness in not trying to compose in camera. But as you will.
I do it all the time. I don't think it's cheating. To me it just gives you more options.

Duly noted....
Duly noted. I would certainly not advocate a wholehearted departure from the purist's form of composition...in fact, far from it. Most of what I shoot is purposely composed. However, to bring out the detail I'm trying to draw attention to, I'll crop, as in the example picture to draw attention to the larger drops on the left. In some cases, the lens you have in hand will not allow you to get the proper composition for what you're intending.
Thanks for the comments!

absolutely not cheating........The whole intent of photography is the photographer trying to capture a certain scene or essence or whatever and convey that to others or just his or her own pleasure. That is why we have so many styles of photography.....some do people, some nature, some astronomy, some the abstract, some architectural etc......but what really gets me regarding the "purists" is that they use filters like the rest of us.....that is intentionally changing the scene.....polarizing takes glare off of what is there.....glare is undesirable so we remove it......that's cheating if we want to go there. Cropping is essentially another form of change....dodging and burning is cheating......we create what we want.....be it dodging and burning, enhancing contrast, saturation color, airbrushing blemishes off portraits.....We would have to throw out filters of every type, throw out photoshop....everything if we were to be consistent with the purist philosophy......which by the way I don't believe has ever been purely pure!

Agreed! Not sure if it came across in the first comment, but I'm not against cropping at all. Sometimes you see things afterward that you didn't see when you shot (happens all the time). And if it's a choice between being "pure" and not cropping or having a well-composed picture, then crop away.
Back in the day, I cropped or adjusted my speed weasel under the enlarger all the time. Same-o only my fingers don't smell like fixer. (i miss that sniff, sniff, tear)
I just started shooting a full frame camera and while I love perfect comp, I believe some of my best shots result from careful cropping and digital editing. When I started with B&W and developed my own film and pics, I cropped many of them. Now it is much easier but both processes yield better results.
I think the true art comes when you are able to take a simple picture from the camera and make a masterpiece during post process....so NOT CHEATING.
Great question though!Eric A. Nelson

Nice post, Jim. I like the idea of croposition. I mean, why not. It does not mean that you should crop down to only a smallish portion (large crop) of a photo, although I admit to doing this once or twice to get an interesting smaller area of a photo because I realized after the "shooting session" that the whole original composition was not working as well as I had planned, but to refine the composition to exactly what you wanted.
For instance, if I think about my 40D, and the increase in the area of the actual image once I get it into my computer (the viewfinder shows only 96% of the actual image...approximately), I usually trim the excess I did not see in the viewfinder as I did not intend it to be in the photo in the first place. . I try to calculate this extra bit when I am framing at the time of the shoot, but usually I do not get it exactly the way i intended, hence the crop to tweak composition becomes the norm in most cases.
I have no problem with doing it. Today's high resolution DSLR's allow that latitude, as far as I am concerned, so why not take advantage of this opportunity. Like I said earlier, as long as you're not cropping most of the photo, what is the problem. This is using a kind of technology at the fullest. I mean, why else would they provide a cropping/ straightening option in programs such as Photoshop, Aperture, and Lightroom etc? No brainer for me on this one, although i am sure you will get the camp of "purists", which I thought I was, initially, that would most likely disagree with this thinking. One man's two cents worth.

Well I think your new Digital Photography Phrase should be in the Next Photography book out, Croposition. Yes Sir! It's one of the things I love about digitl photography. Years after you take a photo, one day you look at it in a new light and bang, you see something all together different and when you crop it, it comes alive.
I call it Selective Cropping (not my Phrase) but it's a valuable tool and is not cheating at all.
I still believe that composition is extremely important and no amount of cropping can really save a Poorly composed shot. Well I guess that's up for debate.
Here's one where Cropositon or Selective Cropping was done well after the picture was taken.

Black Earth Meats- Black Earth, WI - A classic meat locker, with on-site slaughter available for beef, pork, sheep and goats. They are a USDA facility with third-party certification for humane handling (Animal Welfare Approved) and are certified organic (Iowa Department of Agriculture). They aggregate from a number of small, sustainable farmers to provide a consistent supply of quality animals.
Kilgus Farmstead - Fairbury, IL - The Kilgus family raises a herd of all Jersey cows on their farm just 100 miles south of Chicago. All of their milk is bottled on their dairy farm. Cows are raised on pasture and not given any growth hormones. The milk is not homogenized, so you get that old fashioned cream line.
Organic Valley - LaFarge, WI - Organic Valley began in 1988 with a group of Wisconsin farmers who shared a love of the land and a belief that a new, sustainable approach to agriculture was needed in order for family farms and rural communities to survive. The farmers formed CROPP Cooperative which today is the largest organic farming cooperative in North America. In addition to providing farmers a way to stay in business, organic agriculture fulfilled their vision for a sustainable agriculture: farming without antibiotics or synthetic hormones and pesticides, pasturing animals, and ensuring the land would be preserved for future generations.
Nessalla - Madison, WI - For centuries people have been drinking kombucha for its healing and rejuvenating properties. They strive to provide you with the highest quality kombucha using only organic and fair trade ingredients. Nessalla's kombucha is made locally in small batches, so it's always fresh. Their goal is to promote health and well being with in our community and yours.
Sno Pac - Calendonia, MIN - Sno Pac Foods, a family owned and operated organic farm and processing plant, began around 1900. Before "Eating Healthy" became popular, people bought Sno Pac Vegetables because they tasted great. People still come directly to the palnt to pick up their annual supply of vegetables. Ramon Gengler has continued the Organic Vegetable Operation, expanding the product line, and now passes the operation on to the forth generation.
Dakota Prairie- Harvey, ND - Dakota Prairie captures the essence of the organically grown grains and takes you back to the basics with the best-tasting, diverse selection of products for home baked goodness.

Ty$- Ratchet In My Benz (Feat. Juicy J)
Ty$ is a very good songwriter (though his lyrics leave something to be desired), but the true talent behind his music lies in the D.R.U.G.S. production team. Ty himself is a part of the group, which has become increasingly large and diverse, and is the backbone of both installments of the Beach House series. They rarely rely on current production trends, which is what sets Ty's music apart from a lot of the R&B coming out today, with a lot of focus on dynamics that much hip hop production lacks. "Ratchet In My Benz" is no exception, and provides a dreamy soundscape for Ty to give his extreme womanizing a dose of sweetness.
Big Sean- Beware (Feat. Jhene Aiko & Lil Wayne)
As far as I'm concerned "Guap" is the best thing Big Sean will ever do. His goofy delivery is difficult to place, as it sounds plain silly on a menacing beat like "Mercy", but can go overboard on the cornball-isms on something like Dance (A$). While "Beware" is no "Guap," it is a step in the right direction. Sean is best when he can add subtle melodies into his flows, and the poppy backdrop found here allows him to craft some simple but effective hooks, without sounding too serious or too absurd at any given time.
Kevin Gates- 4:30 AM
What Kevin Gates has on other "emotional" rappers is the lyrical ability to color his sappy hooks with jarring narrative. It nails the whole "I'm complicated" approach that less capable rappers like Kid Cudi could never quite sell (what you know 'bout night terrors?). His street-wise background and gravely voice also make it a little easier for him to go full-emo on some hug-the-block type shit, but even so, he is able to transcend the easily occupied 'insecure gangster' persona for something that seems both new and convincing.
Soulja Boy- Ridin Round
Soulja Boy has a bad habit of heavily biting of-the-moment artists, which is too bad because he is capable of sounding unique, and is best when he does (see: "First Day Of School", "Mean Mug," and "Turn My Swag On"). Whether he's copping Lil B ad-libs, Odd Future production, or Frank Ocean headbands, his immitation is probably more indicative of his excitement about other artists than anything. On his newest track-- which is also his best in a while --he's definitely channeling Khaled-mode Drake (he even drops "I'm On One" a couple of times). Somehow this works a little better than his usual posturing, maybe because Drizzy is a little out of his league, and the result sounds more removed than it's intended to. Either way, while it's not quite up their with his very best singles, it ends up being a pretty enjoyable listen, and proof that Soulja can have moments of brilliance.
Ace Hood- We Them Niggas
Ace Hood's raps are mechanical to the point that you almost feel like someone needs to put a quarter in him to get him to spit a verse. This type of rapid-fire flows are perfect for the Khaled tracks Ace often spits on, and serves as an interesting contrast to Boi-1da's woozy half time beat.
Staff picks for the week of June 24-30.
This feature highlights a hand-picked selection of some of the bigger tracks of the week. We have chosen a few of the tracks that landed within our top 25 most played, focusing on those that stood out and left room for discussion. This edition features Ace Hood, Ty Dolla $ign, Big sean and more! Take a look at the list in the gallery above, and feel free to let us know your own favorite tracks in the comments.

The History of Ragtime
Pianist Deborrah Wyndham shares the history of our nation's first 'pop' music ragtime which influenced many other musicians and styles of music. With different ethnic musical influences and at first rejected by society for its unusual, syncopated rhythm and venues where it was played, ragtime later on received wide acclaim and its popularity spread fast. Ragtime is an important part of our American musical heritage. Pianist/composer Deborrah Wyndham has given over 3,000 performances and listeners have described her playing as sounding 'like four hands'. Sponsored by the Bartholomew County Library Associates.

Ok, now here's the thing...this blog hop started just as I was starting my new job and I completely forgot to let you know about everyone's posts prior to them occurring - which is utterly utterly useless of me. Of course, I totally recommend you head back through all the posts (there's a blog list below) and check out all of the amazing projects made from Frances' debut line for Art Gallery Fabrics, because it's amazing how different everything looks, and I love every single one (possibly a little too much, but there you go, I am excited by a fabric line with zebras in it).
When Frances (I should point out that if you haven't come across Frances in internet land yet, you should go and find her, because she is so lovely and sweet and wonderful I am planning on kidnapping her) asked if I'd be a part of the tour I jumped at the chance, and I knew exactly what I wanted to make. I had an idea for a really simple design that was classic and traditional but with a lot of negative space to make the fabrics pop right on out. I think it was all of the green in the line that made me think of an irish chain pattern right away, you know - green...the emerald isle...Ireland. And I wanted to pair them with a pure bright white for maximum popping...even though white and me are not often friends. I don't seem to be able to make a quilt that stays white for long, with the cats, the kids and my need to eat chocolate whilst sat under a quilt.
Fabric left unattended ends up like this.....
As I was sewing the blocks I made sure the cats were locked out of the sewing room, that everything was kept pristine and that nothing was coming between my quilt and it's shiny pristine whiteness.
I cut a heap of squares too...for a pillow...
The finished quilt top was sent off to Trudi for quilting, it's a big quilt so I asked her for something pretty simple (because I was also asking her to do it super fast for me, and I didn't want to push my luck). She completely ignored me (rightfully so) and did the most beautiful custom quilting, making the quilt a million times more amazing than I had hoped.
I can't show you the full quilt just yet because it'll be in Love Patchwork and Quilting shortly, but here's a sneaky peek (the winter weather is not helping me take photos right now, paired with the fact that I'm leaving the house at 6.30 am, in the dark, and getting home at 7.30pm...in the dark, I'm struggling to see daylight at the minute, so I'm really sorry these pictures are so awful!) I can't wait to show you the full thing, I love it, and it's all because of Frances' fabrics. The colours in Safari Moon are something special, with a perfect deep blue that is not quite navy, not quite royal blue and the most beautiful emerald green (a colour that I don't think we see enough of). Pairing those with oranges, an amazing hot pink that isn't too sharp on the eye and a lime green that has just enough yellow, but not too much. I love fabric - I think that's pretty obvious, and I get through a lot of fabric in a year, but Safari Moon is definitely up in my top 3 of fabric lines from the past year. Considering both Anna Maria Horner and Denyse Schmidt are my go-to favourites at any point in time, that is really saying something. I tried to think of another line I love as much, and am likely to love long time and I can't think of one.
Plus there's zebras. Personally, I feel the world is a better place because of fabric with zebras on. (Pronounced ZEH-BRAS, not ZEE-BRAS over here in the land of the British)
Which Miss Lily made into a dress, and then sent the dress to me (because she looked like a sack of potatoes in it - hooray for that...sorry Lynne, but actually no, I'm not sorry)
Now you've listened to me go on and on for ages, go and check out all the amazing projects so far on the tour. I promise most people are way less wordy than me.

Buddhism has influenced American culture since the American Transcendentalist movement in the 1830s and '40s; only recntly, however, has this transplanted philosophy begun to blossom into a full-fledged American religion. Seager offers a perceptive and engaging portrait of the communities, institutions, practices, and individuals that are integral to the contemporary Buddhist landscape, including six profiles of Buddhist traditions exported to the United States from Japan, Tibet, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere. The book also considers Americanization and recent developments in gender equity, progressive social change, and intra-Buddhist and interreligious dialogue.

Professional Services Engineer or Surly Gifted-and-Talented Teenager?
Professional Services Engineers and Senior Customer Support Engineers, the Cranky Product Manager loves you. She truly does.
You get in there and make our products truly work– sing even! –for our most important customers, many of whom have really bizarre requests.
You are ingenius, a MacGyver for the new century. You can work around any product deficiency with a wad of gum, a Perl script, and a laptop stuffed with SSDs.
You keep the Cranky PM informed about what the customers are experiencing and the problems they face, and keep the Cranky Product Manager apprised of the experience of using her product day-to-day.
You are great. And the Cranky Product Manager could not be prouder of you.
Except for one thing: your attitude. You remind the Cranky Product Manager of a surly teenager. A "gifted and talented" teen, to be sure, but an adolescent with all the part and parcel attitude problems.
Witness the Cranky Product Manager's awesome chart:
Surly Gifted-and-Talented Teenager |
Professional Services Engineer |
General Attitude | Embittered and feeling put-upon by parents' rules. | Embittered and feeling hampered by all the product's warts and failings. |
Opinion of self |
Convinced she is brilliant and her parents are biggest idiots ever, and that everyone else's parents are cooler. |
Convinced that Dysfunctosoft Engineering are biggest idiots ever, because Engineering requires months to add the product feature when he hacked up an absolutely brilliant work-around within a few weeks. |
Ability to Understand Not Everyone is Like Him/Her | If her best friend thinks something is cool, then she does too. Even if any reasonable person can clearly see otherwise. | Believes that if his customer needs this feature, then surely everyone does. Even if it has no alignment with future product direction, obfuscates the user interface, or would take effort away from more critical areas. |
Understanding of Broader World | Remarkably naive about life outside her home/school, but thinks she knows all from watching a lot of reality TV. | Knows nothing about writing production-worthy code that will work for hundreds of customers, not just one: scaling, internationalization, integration, standards, platform support, testability, user experience, error handling, APIs, etc. Thinks he already solved 90% of the problem when he really only solved 10%. |
Political Savvy | If Mom says no, asks Dad. If Dad says no, ask Mom. If both say no, involves the grandparents or teachers. |
If Engineering says "no" to including the hacked-up workaround in official code-base, lobbies Product Management, Sales, and the CEO/GM. |
Unreliable |
To gain a privilege, promises to do an unpleasant task like cleaning out the garage. Then does not do it. Parents nag her for weeks before finally giving up. |
Under political pressure, Engineering caves and agrees to add the hack to the official product code base, but ONLY if the PS engineer makes the code thread-safe, uses standard libraries, etc. Naturally, this never happens. Count on the PS Engineer to get very busy on a customer crisis instead. |

Inside this Irish-style pub, a couple of dozen more-fortunate fans in their twenties and thirties squeeze together at the foot of the tiny stage, mouthing the words with singer Scott Smith. Even the weekend pool sharks cueing up off to the side and the couples canoodling at the tables near the door sing along. This could be a frat party in Smith's native New Hampshire or a college-town bar in Pennsylvania, where lead guitarist Mike Sharpe tooled around before lighting out for the Sunshine State, selling hemp jewelry at rest stops along the way. Miami may be a Caribbean city but Shufly's pop rock is a spring-break soundtrack meant to be blared from the boomboxes of sunburnt undergraduates and then belted out in giddy chorus while speeding back home up I-95.
Chiseled cheeks framed by matching shag haircuts in bottle blond and chestnut brown, 29-year-old Smith and 25-year-old Sharpe give Shufly its handsome face and songwriting core. According to what is already Shufly legend, the founding heartthrobs found each other three years ago on a pier in Cocoa Beach when the singer, who went south after a bad break up, came across the guitarist strumming for food, weed, and whatever else tourists would toss him for a song. The pair wrote their first tune on the spot and kept right on writing after Sharpe and another friend moved for three months into Smith's '78 conversion van, often parked behind the Navigator's Café in Cooper City, where the fledgling band scored its first gigs.
Sitting at an outdoor table before the weekly Finnegan's show, the now six-member Shufly tells tall tales. "Tell her about your double bass," demands Ecuadorian percussionist Mario Palacios in Spanish to drummer Paul Voteller, who refuses. "Tell her how you made your own drum set in Colombia," he tries and fails again.
Bassist Matthew Coogan has better luck, commanding Sharpe: "Tell her the trailer-park story." The guitarist/composer obliges the classically trained bassist who, before joining Shufly, made a living off straight-ahead jazz in the Grove when such a thing was possible and then did time in a Grateful Dead tribute band. "There were these guys who had a Christian pawnshop in a trailer park who used to take care of us," Sharpe recounts. "They used to say that if Scott and I stayed together, we would be able to write songs without even having to see each other. And they were right: Now I'll be working on a melody by myself, and then I'll meet Scott and find out that the lyrics he's been working on fit perfectly."
"It was the Nostradamus Pawnshop," laughs Coogan.
Indeed since that trailer-park prediction, Sharpe and Smith's careful song construction has earned Shufly regular rotation on South Florida's English-language rock circuit and repeat appearances on Buzz 103.1 (WPBZ-FM) and Zeta (WZTA-FM 94.9). As Sharpe -- whose nickname is Crash -- brags, he's been smashing guitars and toppling amplifiers at clubs from Fort Lauderdale's Culture Room to Miami's new übervenue, Billboardlive. But his bad-boy theatrics have little to do with the Shufly sound. In a town whose schizophrenic reputation is built on DJs, hardcore metal, and all things tropical, Shufly's breezy lyrics and light grooves invite comparison to campus favorites from the U.S. mainland. Smith shares Dave Matthews's nasal delivery (Shufly opened for DMB at MARS Music Amphitheatre), Hootie's relaxed phrasing, and the feel-good, stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth choruses of every Blues Traveler/Sugar Ray/Goo Goo Dolls song to top the charts.
The 2001 Shufly release (the group's 1999 release also was self-titled) showcases Smith's vocals in an easy dialogue with Sharpe's bright guitar playing. The rest of the players accent the discussion, and while Sharpe does indulge in a solo, it is restrained. "We're pretty good at keeping ourselves in check," observes Coogan. The result on the most recent Shufly is five highly polished tracks, each with a hook that lodges in the brain and won't come out. Every song is built on the repetition and then release of short, repeated bursts of melody, a trick that makes "Wonderful" and "No One's Home" particularly contagious. This is easy-access English-language pop -- a sound as commonly heard in Miami as Siberian throat-singing.
Eager to get their fill, starved pop-rock fans have kept Finnegan's 2 at capacity every Saturday night for the past year. So fervent is their appreciation that thirteen fans have formed the auxiliary Shufly Street Team, meeting every weekend at Einstein Bros Bagels like some rock-star Junior League. There's Laura in charge of publicity; Ashley on distribution; David on merchandising; Brian who puts out the 32-page songbook; and Crazy Glen, who stutter-steps through the pub like a boxer, passing out the e-mailing list and slapping high fives. "The street team makes us work harder," says Smith. "No one wants to work for you if they see that you're not working yourself."

A brief recap: He was the only U.S. senator to vote against the Patriot Act. The only one with the guts to raise the notion of impeachment. One of the very few to have a consistent record against the war in Iraq. The only senator, it seems, who has truly earned his maverick status. On a glorious May day in Washington, the 53-year-old junior senator (and Rhodes Scholar) from Wisconsin took some time to talk about Tiger Woods, the war on terror, illegal wiretapping, bachelorhood, and Hillary's sense of humor.
You're a big golf guy, right?
I like golf. But I don't want anyone to be under the illusion that I'm good at it. I just really enjoy it.
Well, how good are you?
About an 18 handicap. That mean anything to you?
It's sort of okay. Not humiliating. It took me twenty years to get from humiliating to where other people don't just kind of go, "Ugh."
Do you watch golf?
Yes, I…I hate to admit.
Who's your favorite golfer?
Tiger Woods. What an original answer. And so unlike me. I've always been the underdog kind of guy. But for whatever reason, I just cannot—I am so taken with his ability.
Have you ever met him?
No. I'd love to. He and Bob Dylan. Those are the two I'd love to meet.
Okay. Let's talk about your call to censure the president.
Nice. [laughs] From Tiger Woods to censuring the president!
Are you doing it because of the wiretapping, specifically?
For the illegal wiretapping, specifically. That's what the censure resolution is about. I would hope the president would say: "I was doing this because I was trying to protect the lives of the American people. I got a little carried away. I shouldn't have, I'm sorry, let's get back to work." I would be very pleased if the president would acknowledge that; then it would be clear in the history books that this is an extreme, that it violates the Constitution, and then we can get back to work. But I'm concerned the president won't do that, which will create a further constitutional crisis. That's what we're in right now—a constitutional crisis.
The apology scenario you just laid out: What are the chances?
Very slim. Because of the arrogance of the White House. This is possibly the worst administration in American history in terms of not being able to acknowledge, "Hey, this didn't go right; let's fix it." And it's caused terrible problems. Iraq is a great example of that.
Do you think Bush is the worst president in history?
I'm not gonna say that. But it's been a dismal administration since about a year after 9/11. I felt that there was a genuine—it appeared to be a genuine effort to bring the American people together after 9/11. But they threw it away with Iraq. It's one of the most serious mistakes in the history of our country.
So is what you want with this censure a public rebuke, essentially?
I don't want to use the word rebuke. It's a censure. It's not personal. It's not about trying to humiliate him. It's about trying to return to the rule of law.
Would you like to see him impeached?
I have to think about whether that's good for the country. He's probably committed an impeachable offense. But the Constitution does not require, just because somebody has committed an impeachable offense, that you actually impeach him. That's why censure is a good way to have accountability but not actually remove the president from office. You know, I was the only Democratic senator to vote to hear the evidence they wanted to dismiss against Clinton. I thought it was our role to do it. I wrote an opinion—all of us had to write an opinion—and in the last couple of paragraphs, I said, "Look, I majored in history, and I knew that the only impeachment had been Andrew Johnson." And I said, "I've only been conscious of this stuff for twenty-five to thirty years—and I've already seen two: Nixon and Clinton. I really worry that people are gonna start seeing impeachment as a regular way to do business." Problem is, George Bush has committed a more clearly impeachable offense than Clinton or even Nixon ever did.
Worse than Nixon?
Do you think Don Rumsfeld should resign?
Let's leave that up to the president. I think it would be in the interests of the country if we had a different secretary of defense. Of course, I also think we ought to have a different president.
What's this administration's most egregious crime?
Well, in terms of a thing that is legally wrong, the one that I know about is wiretapping. The most egregious thing they have done wrong, though, is the way they took us into the Iraq war.
Have you been to Iraq?
And the first time was with Hillary, right?
Yes. And both times with John McCain.
What was it like traveling with Hillary?
It was a blast.
It was a great group. First of all, to be able to sit there and watch Hillary Clinton and John McCain just shoot the breeze? I mean, I felt like, whatever I had to do to get here? It was worth it.

All-Clad's Factory Sale – December 6th and 7th 2013
Santa is coming! Santa is coming! Santa is coming… er I mean it's the December All-Clad Factory Sale!!! I get absolutely SO excited about the All-Clad Factory Sale!
Twice a year All-Clad has what's called their 'Seconds Sale'. This is all their stuff that they either have too much of, has been discontinued or deemed irregular. They come fully back with All-Clad's warranty. Now the whole 'irregular' may cause concern but trust me, there is NO CONCERN! There may be a blemish – small scratch, logo off center, something that causes it for the big department stores to not want to sell it. In no way shape or form does it lack in quality or performance.
♥When: Friday, December 6th and Saturday, December 7th, 2013
♥Time: Friday is from 9am-7pm | Saturday is from 9am – 4pm
♥Where: Washington County Fair and Expo Center | 2151 North Main Street | Washington, PA 15301 | Phone: 724-225-7718 | Website: WashingtonFair.org
♥Directions: http://www.washingtonfair.org/html/directions.html if you're close to Pittsburgh
♥Things to know:
ο They accept cash and credit card (at least they did the last 14 times I've gone).
ο Bring a friend and a bag to carry all of your stuff!
ο There is no better day to go though if really want something, it's best to go on Friday morning.
ο The past few times people started lining up pretty early (like 6am) but I go later in the afternoon and there is always a boat load of product left.
ο What is so awesome about this sale is that through out the entire 2-day sale, the wonderful folks of All-Clad keep replenishing the products.
ο If you buy more than your vehicle can fit (trust me, you will buy and buy and buy!) in the past they have offered UPS shipping.
ο The sale is in-person only; no online ordering. Take the trip and visit – Pittsburgh is GORGEOUS this time of year and it truly is a site to see!
ο The All-Clad employees that work at this event are SUPER nice and extremely helpful!
ο There are no shopping carts but they have provided heavy boxes that you can either pull around or carry.
ο If this is your first time going, be prepared to be amazed!
ο There will easily be 150k-200k people that will flow through this event.
ο If you're going and they have their 20 qrt stock pot.. leave it, it's mine! I NEED it! *wink*
♥♥♥And if they ask how you heard about it, tell them The Kitchen Whisperer sent you. ♥♥♥
More deliciousness awaits...:

Based on the sales you have been to, what are the prices like? What does a piece typically sell for? Just want to know if, even with this discount, All-clad is in my budget!? Thank you!
Getting excited! Trying to get my list together & I am curious, do they have complete sets for sale or just separate items?
What are the road conditions today? I had plans to travel today but see there is a chance of freezing rain this AM as reported by the weather channel. My trip is about 3 hrs from Northeast Ohio. So bummed out this AM.
Lots of planning and research for the pieces I am planning to purchase.So I have received a email via All-Clad about the Online VIP sale. Are the deals as good as being at the sale in person???
I have my eye on a few exclusive Williams Sonoma Copper Core Pieces:
2.5 Qt Copper Core Grain/Rice Pot
3 QT SaucierI also need a 7QT insert for my D-5 pasta pot.
My husband did promise to go tomorrow to the sale. Will it be too late to find what I am looking for?
I am grateful for any information you can provide. Have a wonderful day at the sale.
The freezing rain has held off. They are saying it will start around 3-4 pm this afternoon and supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow overnight. I'm not sure about the pans or the Online Sale. I am heading to the Fairgrounds in an hour or 2, if I see them I will gladly check prices for you.
Thank you kindly Gail.
Does anyone know how long the lines are right now at the fairgrounds (friend on phone or someone with smartphone!)??
I've been here about 30 minutes, am in entry group 61 & they are on group 43 & 45 right now.
If anyone would like to put their email on here, I will send a picture if the Factory Sale Specials flyer that they passed out.
Thank you for the updates. Are there more people than usual at this sale? It is 1:40 PM, hopefully you are now shopping.
They are up to group 54 now. They have people onstage talking about their experiences @ sales & with the products.
This was my 1st time so not sure about the crowd. There was a lot of people & some were rude. Running into you w/ shopping carts, grabbing stuff in front of you,for the most part everyone was nice & courteous. We got the 10 PC Stainless Set for 399.00 (retail $799.00).The big oblong stainless roaster for 199.99 (retail $600 I think).All purpose steamer w/lid for 34.99 (retail $59.99). 10 PC Nonstick Set for $299.99 (retail $599.99 so 50% off).8qt Copper Core Stock Pot for $149.99, lid was $9.99 (retail $460.00 & 45.00 so 78% & 67% off).2 PC (8 &10 in) B3 Nonstick Fry Pans for $39.99 (retail $ 59.99). 12 qt Multi Cooker w/2 steamer baskets & lid for $99.99 (retail $149.99 so 33% off). They will haul stuff to car for you. Have raffles too.
So sorry you had to deal with the rudeness. Sounds like quite a few good buys. Was there still a good selection of copper core pieces? Should I bring my small rolling cart? The All-Clad VIP online sale was postponed due to technical glitches. There were 32 items mostly fry pans saute pans and stock pots. Sounds like you had a successful day.
Best Wishes
Said they were sold out of some things for the day. Remember seeing the Porcelain Baker w/Stainless holder for $49.99. They had tons of the Stainless & Nonstick Griddle pans & Roaster pans. Had some gadgets & utensils. There was some Krups stuff like coffee pots, grinders etc. the Nonstick Digital Crockpot was $119 I think. As far as 70% off stuff they said that goes 1st thing. Someone told us that for years there have been 2 guys that get in line @ 5am & buy everything on that table.
There was a ton of Copper Core stuff. Actually there was a ton of everything from what I saw & they had a very large room full of stuff to restock. I would say you shouldn't have a problem finding what you want.
Thank You for your valuable information and your time responding back to my question.
I just subscribed to your news letters… will you be sending one out to remind people of the June sale??

LILBURN -- Grayson found itself in a defensive battle with Parkview in the first half of Friday's game.
Then the Rams blew the game open in the third quarter.
Running back Devin Gillespie and quarterback Nick Schuessler accounted for two touchdowns each in the third period and the Rams rolled to a 36-0 win.
"Things started clicking," Grayson head coach Mickey Conn said. "We went back to the wing-T a little bit more and were able to hurt them."
Grayson, the No. 2 ranked team in the state and No. 6 in the nation by USA Today, takes over sole possession of first place in Region 8-AAAAA. The Rams beat Parkview (4-3, 4-1 region) for the sixth year in a row and secured a playoff spot.
"We just have to get one game at a time," Conn said. "There's a lot of football left with three games left."
Grayson (7-0, 5-2 region) ran just 12 offensive plays in the third quarter and scored four touchdowns. One of the scores was after a fumbled kickoff return by Parkview. The other scores were aided by a stingy Grayson defense.
The Rams held Chris Carson, the county's leading runner, to just 66 yards rushing. Parkview managed just 101 yards of total offense.
"We were happy to shut him and the Parkview running game down," Grayson defensive lineman Sebastian Rice said.
Rice, a Georgia State commitment, and Jake Muller each had six tackles. Linebacker Jay Strickland made nine, while Ryan Carter, Kasey Gaines and Jordan Germany each had five. Gaines also had an interception in the second quarter.
"Defense played great tonight," Conn said. "They gave up some yards, but our defense held them when they had to."
Grayson led 7-0 at the half and Devin Gillespie scored on a 28-yard run to put the Rams up 14-0 to start the third quarter. Gillespie was the game's leading rusher with 90 yards on 10 carries
Schuessler threw a 66-yard touchdown pass to Callen Hightower to increase the lead to 22-0 after Robert Nkemdiche scored on a two-point conversion. Schuessler was 5 of 11 for 105 yards with two TDs.
Parkview fumbled the kickoff return and Wayne Gallman recovered at the Parkview 24. Schuessler threw his second TD, a 21-yard pass to Gillespie to make it 29-0.
"Once we got the ball, we had to put the foot on the gas," Schuessler said.
Grayson got the ball back on the 35 and Korey Jones scored on a 14-yard sweep to the left to put the Rams ahead 36-0 and start a running clock in the fourth quarter.
"Disaster. It was eight minutes of disaster," Parkview head coach Cecil Flowe said. "We played really good in the first half. We knew it would be tough to move it on them. They've a pretty good load of weapons. They are good, that's why they are No. 2 in the state."
Parkview only crossed midfield twice in the game, once on its first possession of the game and again to start the fourth quarter. But Marquise Motley's second sack of the game ended any kind of potential drive for the Panthers.
"We thrive off field possession," Conn said. "We were able to get that in the second half."
It was a defensive battle in the first half and a special teams play set up the only score.
Ryan Carter's 43-yard punt return to the Parkview 30 got the Rams' offense started. Once the Rams got inside the 10, the 6-foot-5, 270-pound Nkemdiche pounded the ball three straight plays before scoring on a two-yard run and 7-0 halftime lead.
But it was a different story in the third quarter as Grayson rattled off 36 unanswered points.
"I feel good about how we started the game," Flowe said. "You've got to be able to move the ball on them."

Toll Free Industry's biggest change since portability in 1993
Sunriver, OR – March 21, 2011- On March 1, 2011 SMS 2011, a consortium of toll free RespOrgs, (if you need a definition of RespOrg I would be glad to help) met with the FCC to discuss changing the sole control of the toll free national database and the accompanying tariff out of the hands of the Bell Operating Companies. This bottleneck has kept toll free from advancing with the telecom industry and kept all of us working with systems designed in the 1980's.
"This is very exciting for the industry", said Aelea Christofferson, President of ATL RespOrg services." "The FCC fully supports a more representative group to focus on the changing needs of toll free. "SMS 2011" wants to make the processes that control all toll free calls more transparent, so companies that have never been land-line based can have more influence. Still many new entrants to the telecom business from the IP world don't realize that all toll free calls must be originated on one of six carriers." Ms. Christofferson added.
The Process took nine years with many dedicated partners to accomplish. Ms. Christofferson invited all 399 RespOrgs to a conference call to start the ball rolling. With almost 40 companies on the call a group stepped up to meeting, developing and drafting the FCC proposal. "SMS 2011" included members from Level 3, Windstream, Qwest, Telesmart, and ATL.

13 July 2006 – for immediate release
Josie Lawrence, one of the UK's most popular comediennes and actresses, will be in the spotlight at Aston University in Birmingham this week when she will receive an honorary degree for her services to the entertainment industry.
Josie will join graduating students of the University in a special ceremony at 11am on Saturday 15 July when she will receive an Honorary Doctorate.
'It is a great honour to be receiving this award from Aston University. The West Midlands has got so many great memories for me and I love to visit it whenever I can,' said Josie.
Born in Old Hill in the West Midlands, it was evident that from a young age Josie (born Wendy Lawrence) was destined for stardom. At the age of 16 she joined the Barlow Players in Oldbury, then went on to study theatre at Dartington College of Arts before appearing in numerous theatre productions.
Josie has performed with the Royal Shakespeare company in several productions including Taming of the Shrew, for which she won the Dame Peggy Ashcroft Award for Best Actress. She has also had a successful nine month run at the London Palladium where she played Mrs Anna in The King and I, as well as playing the lead in Much Ado About Nothing at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
Josie has also undertaken many television roles includes ITV's Fat Friends, three series of the award winning Outside Edge and her own series – Josie, just to name a few! The actress has also appeared in several films, including the Oscar nominated Enchanted April alongside Miranda Richardson.
However, funny girl Josie's talents do not lie only within the realms of conventional acting, as she is best known for her comedy improvisation skills. She shared her comic genius with the nation for over 10 years, performing alongside the likes of Stephen Fry and Paul Merton on the BAFTA award winning show Whose Line Is It Anyway? She has also been a member of the Comedy Store Players for over 20 years and meets up weekly to perform improvised sketches. Josie also writes, directs and works on many radio productions.
Compassionate Josie has not forgotten her Midlands roots and is a firm supporter of local and national charities. She climbed Mount Kilimanjaro last year to raise money for Sunfield School in Clent (Josie is a patron of Sunfield, which helps children with learning difficulties). She has also shown her support and dedication for Breakthrough Breast Cancer by taking a year out of her schedule to help the team raise over �555,000 and recruit 170 women to walk 'The Great Walk of China' with her (across China, Peru and Tanzania).
She has recently finished filming a new TV series The Quick Guide to Parenting, where she stars alongside Peter Davidson, and which is expected to be on our screens in September.
For further press information please contact Sally Hoban on (0121) 204 4552 or Hannah Brookes on (0121) 204 4549.
Josie will be available for photographs at 12pm prompt on 15th July. Please meet University Press Officers Sally Hoban and Hannah Brookes in main reception.
Further press information about the other honorary graduates is available on request.

Laptop Skins
Skins are thin, easy-to-remove, vinyl decals for customizing your laptop . Skins are made from a patented material that eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles for easy application.
A stipple and linear micron ink drawing of a Big-Bellied Seahorse, or hippocampus abdominalis. It is the second panel in the larger project, also for sale, entitled "This Is My Seahorse, This Is My Gun". Available here: http://society6.com/AKolarik/The-Sea--The-Soldier_Print
I'm curious why Hippocampus? The only reason I know what that is is because I wrote a short story about a drug that affects the Hippocampus and makes one hallucinate their memories in full (time travel drug mumbo jumbo, crazy I know)
Ok just read the description so it makes sense, but the hippocampus is also the part of the brain responsible for memory *snapple facts!
haha, yeah you know I have no idea why science named that part of the brain after the greek word for scaly sea monsters. I'm sure there's an answer, but I'll be damned if I know it. I even just looked a a picture to see if the hippocampus in the brain even remotely resembles a seahorse...nope.
Hahaha EVERYTHING IS A BILLION DOLLARS. No, I just price everything that way so when people want to buy something, they can email me and pay me directly through paypal, then I email them the printable vector file and they can size it themselves. Because a 10% commission is not nearly enough for any of us and we shouldn't swallow it.
Oooh not just an artistic genius but a financial one too! Has that worked out well? Until you mentioned this I hadn't realized there was a way of contacting the artists. So I should get my but in gear and set up "About Page" ;-) I was just today admiring your banner hoe the Seahorse converts into a pistol. Yep your a genius for sure.
Genius? Let's not get crazy here hahaha - you should contact Carina Povarchik on Facebook and join up with the Society6 Users page :) As far as contacting the artists outside of this page, SOciety6 makes it difficult, but I own my own illustration house called Comic Book Afterlife, so I broadcast my insanity from there :)

Originally meant to live on Hoodie Allen's All American EP but was left off for whatever reason. Now Allen's decided to release it for the free as he announces his Excellent Adventure Tour with G-Eazy.
Posted in Singles | Tags: hoodie allen
fuxk outta here wit this shxt
get this shit off 2dopeboyz
ignorant people. ignorant people everywhere. just because you don't like something doesn't mean someone else won't. don't be mad when he blows up
serious question:
Does anyone who's black/hispanic/asian/etc like this dude? I'm white myself (and think he sucks), but the only people I've ever heard standing up for this guy are some of my white friends lmao.
why does a persons skin color matter? Thats some 1950s shit yo.
Ah... I don't know about this one guys....
i know people always say this shit but his flow is exactly like Drake's in this
It's about damn time you posted some Hoodie Allen on here Shake! He's been killing it since Pep Rally
Hoodie Allen is the one of the best artists of his generation. He makes great music, he's music makes him like a modern day will smith. He has 2 mix tapes (Pep Rally & Leap Year) which he gave out for free. When he wanted to do a tour (including UK) he put sold his first ever EP on iTunes which is All American and it sky rocketed to the top of the iTunes charts in America and the UK. This is because he puts in work and dedication and unbelievable interaction with his fans. He is down to earth. In some of his shows he stayed outside in the rain hours after they finished taking pictures and signing stuff for fans.
fuck all you haters. hoodie is brilliant and amazing. every single one of his songs are amazing... if you dont like it, well that just sucks for you cause you're missing out on something phenomenal ... #HoodieMob
Skin color doesn't matter in terms of how you should treat someone...but you can't deny that rappers like Hoodie Allen or Sammy Adams have a predominantly white fanbase. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I was just commenting on it.

Reproduction U.S. M1 Bayonet is rated out of 5 by 9.Rated 5 out of 5 by Franklin from Scary! for good reason Excellent fit and function. Quality construction. Talk about tough looking when it is installed! My only complant in is the locking mechanism button is uncomfortable against the flesh of the index finger when you have to use the bayonnet in a sword like fashion when manually defending yourself.Date published: 2014-12-09Rated 4 out of 5 by THOMAS from good quality for the money (cheap $) - would have liked a better overall description (scabbard was not what I wanted)Date published: 2014-08-19Rated 4 out of 5 by TRAVIS from This thing is huge! More like a short sword. Blade is very wide, can't use a normal kitchen 'pull through' sharpener, and can only be put in the sheath 1 way even though it was made to be slipped in either way.Date published: 2014-04-10Rated 5 out of 5 by BILL from SatisfiedDate published: 2014-02-24Rated 5 out of 5 by LARRY from Outstanding!!Date published: 2013-01-11Rated 4 out of 5 by PAUL from ok it is a "reproduction" but they could have left off or printed in a less conspicuous place the "made in china" i.d. other than that i haven't really had the chance to check it out yet but it does feel solid and strong and should look awesome on an M1 Garand that may have been used during the korean war. how contradicting huh!Date published: 2013-01-07Rated 5 out of 5 by REDEMPTION from Happy to have it.Date published: 2012-09-22Rated 5 out of 5 by KENNETH from The M1 Bayonet is very nice,The only thing difernt than the original,is that the scabbard is plastic not metel,and no bomb insignia on the blade.Have original on one rifle and this one on my other rifle yuo cant tell the difernce.very nice,Date published: 2012-08-03

 Will this bayonet fit the Springfield A3 - 03

Asked by: calif

 No.
Answered by: Customer Service

Date published: 2014-12-31

 My question is was the M1A US Carbine fitted with a Bayonet back in the WW11 or after it looks to have a slot to slide some thing on it at the end of the stock?

Asked by: brucestitan08

 The M1A model rifle was established after WW2, and some of the M1A models do have bayonet lugs.This item is for the M1 Garand rifle though, not the M1A/M14 rifle.

Glycogen Storage Disease Type V
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Glycogen Storage Disease Type V is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- Glycogen Storage Disease Type V
- Glycogenosis Type V
- Myophosphorylase Deficiency
- Glycogen Storage Disease
- McArdle Disease
General Discussion
Glycogen storage disease type V (McArdle Disease or GSD-V) is one of several inherited glycogen storage diseases all of which are caused by failures of specific enzymes required for the storage of energy-supplying glycogen. In the case of GSD-V, symptoms are caused by the lack of the crucial enzyme muscle phosphorylase (myophosphorylase). This enzyme is needed for the breakdown of glycogen (the body's form of stored energy) into sugar (glucose) in muscle tissues. All of the glycogen storage diseases are characterized by the inability to break down glycogen, but in each case this occurs for a different reason. Unlike most of the other GSDs, type V has two autosomal recessive forms, a childhood-onset form and an adult-onset form. In addition, there is a much more rare autosomal dominant form of GSD-V. The clinical features of GSD-V are exercise intolerance, muscle cramping, and dark, burgundy-colored urine due to the presence of myoglobin (myoglobinuria).

Colorado weeds: Why it's time to attack them in September, and one volunteer who is
Posted By Susan Clotfelter On September 4, 2013 @ 6:49 pm In Fall,Gardening,General,Landscaping,Lawn,Sharing,Summer,Weeds | 1 Comment
I ran into Bob Drage on Loveland's Boyd Lake bike path as I walked the Career Terrier Wednesday morning. He was just one reminder that September means it's high time to get after those bindweeds, dandelions, mallow, tumbleweeds, cheat grasses and thistles. [1]
(Unless, of course, you're going to eat them. Then you should read this [2].)
Drage was removing one of the most hated, and feared, weeds in Colorado [3]: Puncture vine [4], a.k.a. goat head [5](Tribulus terrestris, to botanists).
This is the plant that sheds those hard, spiny burs that pop bicyclists' tires [6]and plague dogs' paws and human feet. I've pulled them from the paws of three dogs I've owned in Colorado. One of them would simply give up, lie down, roll on his back and raise his paws to me, whining pathetically until I gently plucked them out.
Drage's job as the Puncture Vine Destroyer of the Boyd Lake Bike Path is self-created. But he's got creds: His uncle was a CSU county extension agent, and his dad was a field man for Great Western Sugar. His family has lived in Loveland since 1866.
Here's the deal on fall weed removal: You want to do one of two things.
1) Pull them before they can set seeds. Seed viability in Colorado's dry, low-organic-matter, alkaline soils is long-lasting. That means seeds can wait in the soil for many years, just waiting for the right combination of conditions to spring into action and add to your chore list. So you want to deplete that seed bank, or at least, cease and desist adding to it.
2) If you're going to do chemical removal, late summer and early fall are when weeds (and other plants) are throwing energy into their roots. You think carrots and beets are getting big and tough? You should see a mallow root. So if you do apply a herbicide – carefully and according to package directions and NOT on a windy day, and NOT near your friendly neighborhood bees – it will have more effectiveness. Theoretically. Frankly, in some ways, I find it less satisfying than pulling the wretched things by hand, especially bindweed. But pulling doesn't seem to daunt bindweed, and there are those who believe it actually makes the roots produce more sprouts.
I interviewed a revered organic gardener once. She confessed, after making me swear I'd never reveal her name, that she uses weed killer sometimes. But she puts it in a little container and gets her paintbrush, and goes weed to weed with it, rather than spraying and risking contaminating her raised beds, which are full of the food that gets her through the winter.
As far as puncture vine [7]is concerned, Colorado State University extension advises hand removal (carefully, with gloves), and now's a good time, before those seed-containing burrs harden. In spring, you can fight it with some pre-emergents (they'll be labeled as fighting it, and yes, you DO have to peel the label back and read the fine print [8].)
There is one cool thing about puncture vine: The list of common names it has gone by. [9] Or Wikipedia's recounting of research on it as an herbal aphrodisiac.

That picture looks like fireweed, not goat head thorns.
