To submit a repair experience, send an email here. And a comment: you'll note that I don't edit the text of these reader comments. My fear is that by touching them in any way other than to append a comment I'll modify context in a way that might influence how you interpret a report. For example, you might evaluate an experience that is detailed and seems technically accurate differently than one that is full of spelling errors and has many clear inaccuracies in it.
In less than a month we're closing in on 100 such reader experiences and judging from the content, these pretty much match the many emails I've been receiving for years about Nikon service. Sometimes the service was good (though not timely in the communication department), sometimes it's less than satisfactory or requires a second try.
Nikon has indicated that they hope to sell replacement DSLRs to existing customers in the coming years to continue to grow. I'll once again point out that the experience of what happens after a customer buys a product and has problems with it influences whether that updating actually ever happens. It's clear to me that Nikon's service is not going to meet any Six Sigma standard.
As of 10/10/10 the Better Business Bureau of Los Angeles rated NikonUSA's West Coast service as "F" ("we strongly question the company's reliability..."). That can't be good, can it?
Note: 2008 through 2010 user repair experiences can be found here.
I went to the Adirondacks to shoot the leaves and broke my LCD on my D90 in the process. I shipped it the Monday after I got back, it arrived on Thursday, they had an estimate for me on Friday, I gave them the go ahead on Sunday. I got it today in Florida. Have they upgraded their service response or am I just lucky? I always figure around 4 weeks. 11 days is fantastic. (jg)
Just thought I'd relate my last couple of experiences with Nikon Service in Melville. The first started last May (2010) when my 24-70 fell from its Nikon pouch and hit the pavement. Repairs were reasonable ($300) and they replaced the zoom mechanism. It didn't feel right when it came back and was making some odd noises but I was sure it was "within tolerances". As the summer progressed, the zoom became stiff and sticky, to the point where a smooth zoom from 50mm out to 24mm wasn't possible without the zoom sticking and jumping. Oddly, it only happened in landscape mode, portrait and other orientations were fine. I sent it in again and it just came back with the zoom mechanism replaced yet again. (Thankfully under warranty from the previous repair). Next was my D300 which was sent in to check exposure and aperture lever (had an odd overexposure issue at f2.8 with all lenses). They supposedly fixed something electrical (though the problem persists) and returned it. Within a day, I found the flash mode button to be inoperable as a result of repairs. While they did pay shipping that time, I was without the camera for another 2 weeks. It seems like supposed priority repairs take long than the "normal" ones! Given my 2 experiences this summer, it's starting to look like Nikon Service is having a problem getting repairs correct the first time. I was wondering if you have heard similar things from others, or am I just one of the lucky ones? (wd)
I Just want to share my frustration here along with many people who are having similar problem. I sent to Nikon In El Segundo 3 times, and Rich Houghton who is Service Manager of Nikon sent me email stated that All is to factory standard with your lens. Please shoot it and enjoy it. All is to standard.". I asked him that is it truth. he said yes. That mean that Nikon Standard with Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 is "does not focus to infinity correctly from 24mm to 40mm" and " lens have grinding noise and zoom ring got tough at 35-70mm" Anyone have the same problem with Nikon? (hp)
I sent my D200 to Nikon with what I thought was a clear explanation of the problem. Briefly, in cold weather there is some intermittent erratic behavior of the Playback and Menu buttons such that when I press the Playback button it brings up the menu instead of an image. In such a situation, pressing the Menu button does not dismiss the menu. I stated that indoors the camera works fine and no photos are ever lost when the buttons are behaving erratically. I also stated that the multi-selector and other buttons appear to work correctly even when the Playback and Menu button problem is present so the problem seemed to be localized to the buttons on the left side. I received a quote in short order that listed as the reason for service: SHUTTER ERRATIC BEHAVIOR TO GWO I had no idea what TO GWO meant, but I called Nikon to say that since my photos are perfectly exposed there is nothing erratic about the shutter and did they actually read what I wrote? I was told an email would be sent to the repair department with my comments. I waited a few days and called again to inquire. They emailed me an updated service quote which now listed the following as the reason for service: CONTROL BUTTON/KNOB/LEVER RING PLAYBACK BUTTON ERRATIC TO GWO IN COLD WEATHER. I still don't know what TO GWO means but since I had specifically indicated in the document sent with the camera that all other buttons beside Playback and Menu operated correctly, I called to tell them that I didn't want the camera repaired as I had no confidence that they understood the problem. I also indicated I would like to express my disappointment at the whole procedure so they connected me to a manager after having to listen to some very loud music for several minutes. The manager told me that the "shutter erratic behavior" diagnosis was indeed a mistake - entered incorrectly by someone who is not a technician. As for the updated quote, they need to replace a circuit board that all the listed buttons use. Okay, that makes sense, but couldn't they have taken a minute to clearly state that in the quote instead of writing some cryptic shorthand that appeared to contradict my observations about which buttons were working? All in all a frustrating experience. Maybe to put a final touch on the whole interaction, I received the D200 in the mail today and the body cap was missing. That was the one item that I sent along with the camera (as per your suggestion) and I specifically stated such in the document I sent with the camera. Nikon acknowledges this, because on the packing slip that came with the camera, it states: D200 D-SLR camera body and accessories: No battery received No flash card received No proof of purchase Received your letter Body cap How hard would it have been to keep the cap with the body? To their credit, they did ship it back to me at no cost even though I declined the repair. Also, I called about the missing cap and they said they will ship one out to me.

Well, the experience described in the two attached emails has come to an end, but not without a final inscrutable act on Nikon's part. I came home today to find two boxes at my door. The first box contained the body cap as expected. Hooray for Nikon, although did they really need to ship such a small item in a 6" x 8" x 10" box full of packing peanuts? Then I examined the second box, of the same size, and lo and behold it was also from Nikon. I opened it up to find a 67 mm lens cap. I have no idea why I received this. I had only sent in the D200 body for a repair estimate and complained that they did not return the body cap with the camera. (bg)
I wanted to comment and add my own experience on dealings with Nikon USA Customer Service. I have seen your page on Nikon customer service experience, and I feel compelled to write you on it. Frankly, I am so disenchanted, frustrated, and appalled at their poor service and past dealing that for the second time, I am seriously considering switching systems to a company that has a clearer path to professional service (which I will gladly pay extra for, Canon, anybody??).
The first time I asked for an NPS application it took me 7 weeks to get it. At that time I had switched to Canon for about a year, and by the time I even got the NPS application, my CPS membership and card were to me and up and running. The only reason I went back to Nikon was for the D3. Id rather have to learn a new system now where I know the company will treat me right (spent $10,000 buying gear new and used in the last three years) than having gear I know well and a company that does not differentiate between a pro and Coolpix user.
As far as service (this same issue has happened at least three time before with other lenses over the last five years), I sent in a Nikon 24-70 2.8 AF-S in for service for loose rubber on the zoom ring, as well as zooming action that was a little stiff. I use my equipment professionally, but not every day. I am a student and am getting a masters in photojournalism. All my income is derived from photography jobs during the academic semesters. So, Nikon had a potential life long user here. I've shot Nikon since I was in grade school.
Im not just some pixel peeper asking Nikon to calibrate lenses, I had a lens fail partially under warranty, and Nikon has failed to uphold their end of the deal. A $1500 lens isn't cheap for a student, but its even more costly when the premium for service is not honored by Nikon. It would be cheaper for me to sell the 24-70 with the defects disclosed on eBay, and use that to buy a new Gray Market lens from Adorama or B&H, than to pay close to the $300 charge Nikon was trying to rip me off for.
Nikon claimed the 24-70 had impact damage. When I called to ask about the lens not being under warranty, they accused me of being reckless with my equipment and dropping the lens. I asked that pictures be sent of the lens from Nikon, to ensure that there wasn't some kind of damage during shipping. I waited over two weeks with Nikon El Segundo but no response. Today is January 9th and four weeks after mailing them the lens I am getting it back (and refusing service) and probably taking it to an independent service center. The additional two weeks after waiting for pictures of the lens from Nikon were the usual delay in receiving a repair, contacting me about it, and giving an estimate.
I use, but don't abuse my gear. The lens was never dropped or mishandled. The rubber zoom ring coming lose is fairly common with the 24-70 and regardless of Nikon's issues with the alleged impact damage, should have been fixed. The lack of timeliness in Nikons response, combined with their arrogance in accusing me of damaging the lens, leaves me to ponder whether its worth it to start shooting Canon or some other system that makes it feasible for working professionals, or those who will have a lifetime of photography, to get faster service and the respect or treatment they deserve as top customers.
As you've said before, why should the guy with a D3 get the same level of service as a Coolpix 990? Don't we pay a hefty premium for the "US Model?" I feel ripped off, even robbed, when I cannot get simple warranty service on my Nikon USA items, because the techs disagree with me. Whats worse is there is no negotiating with them. I asked despite the alleged problems with the lens, if they could simply fix the rubber on the zoom ring since that was a clear warranty issue. I was told that since Nikon had classified the lens as having "Impact Damage," that the lens was not covered under warranty at all.
Not only was playing phone tag with Nikon a waste of my time, it was frustrating dealing with them at every turn, when I could get ahold of somebody. I sincerely hope Nikon gets their customer service act together, or else they will go the way of American car companies, down the tubes resting on their laurels. Nikon makes great stuff, but so does Canon, Sony, Pentax, etc. The problems with getting gear serviced make it almost appealing to go through the effort of switching an entire system. I don have time to hound Nikon or deal with these issues, and nobody else really does either. Were all busy trying to make images, not deal with Nikon on fixing gear. Nikon has certainly taken a lot of fun out of photography for me, because I never know what to expect from their support when using their gear. It distracts me from making images both mentally and with time. (sp)
I read your Nikon warranties article and would like to make a note about USA lens serial numbers begining with US. In Feb of this year I purchased a USA version 17-35/2.8 from a reputable Nikon supplier in NY. When I received it, the receipt stated USA version, the lens serial number started with US**** but the box and warranty papers seemed to be grey market version i.e. International 1 yr warranty card, no extended 4 yr warranty and the box did not exhibit the 5yr warranty logo. All box, paperwork and lens numbers matched. I contacted Nikon with this information and after some research they informed me that this lens was a grey market lens (with a US**** serial number). This is in contradiction to the normally accepted method of USA lens identification. The supplier accepted the return no questions and replaced it with another USA version lens with the correct paperwork and US**** serial. (se) [Thom: That's a new one to me. This would imply that Nikon is selling some excess lenses outside the US that have US serial numbers (e.g., that NikonUSA moved inventory overseas or that Nikon corporate had extra inventory that they never shipped to the US). This just all goes to show how crazy and silly Nikon's policy is. They can't even manage to keep everything working the way they tell users it works.]
In January, 2010, I sent a ten year old AF Nikkor 85mm f1.8 lens to Nikon in Melville, Long Island, NY to fix a frozen focus ring. Nikon repaired the lens and in February, shipped it back to me via UPS. Except that the box UPS handed to me was EMPTY. Someone had slashed the top and removed the contents. I took a picture of the box clearly showing a gaping hole you could put your hand in, then refused to accept the box and UPS sent it back to Nikon. After some time Nikon sent me a refurbished f1.8D with a 90 day warranty, and no charge for any repair. Kudos to Nikon for looking out for their customers. Incidentally, the box had no markings that would suggest it came from Nikon, so it could have contained anything. The thief, probably an insider, knew that anything coming from Melville would likely be from Nikon and thus contain something easy to fence on eBay. (lc)
I mailed a lens 12-27-10 to Nikon repair at El Segundo Ca. They started the new year well, they received my 17-55mm lens stuck in the 20mm position 12-29-10. I received estimate of repair (e-mail) 1-4-11 I approved repair same day, I received the repair lens 1-10 -11 op's checked good. Is this an anomaly? I followed all the instructions on their website and received communication from them and could successfully track the status of lens online. Overall an example of what customer service is all about (IMHO!) (al)
I sent my 24-70 to Melville, arrived there the day before the quake in Japan. This was the lens that fell from the Nikon pouch last year and hit the airport tarmac requiring mount and zoom mechanism replacement. Last fall I had to send it in again as the zoom mechanism they put in was grinding and jerky. This time, the AF was starting to squeak when focusing from closest focus distance toward infinity. Initial contact indicated a re-repair and no additional costs to me. After 1 day, status changed to "replace product" and I was sent a refurbed unit. The original lens still has over 2.5 years on its 5 year warranty. Not sure if it means anything out of the ordinary, such as they are low/out of parts and sending refurbs as replacements until they can get parts? Or, it just happened to go that way. A few years back, my first 70-200 VR was in for repairs at least once/year and when they did finally replace it after 4 previous attempts, it was with a new unit. [wd]
In June 2010 I noticed that the LCD monitor of my D90 wasn't working. I took it to a Cord Camera shop in Indianapolis in August 2010 (My biggest concern was to send the camera by mail, I wasn't sure how to pack it properly, and how any company would manage the transportation and delivery....) 5 weeks later, they sent me an estimate of 400$ for the repair and told me to wait for another 4 weeks. 3 months later, in december, they weren't able to tell me in what part of the process my camera was, why this was taking so long, and never answered any of my at least 5 emails. I decided to get my camera back without the repair and they sent it back to me 2 weeks later. They told me they had to pick the camera back from Nikon.....After this experience I've been using the camera without the monitor for 2 months, I was scared of sending it somewhere again.
Two weeks ago, I decided to take the challenge and sent my camera to Nikon Melville through UPS. I took the camera to the UPS Shop on Friday February 11th, Nikon received it on Tuesday 15th, I approved the estimate (200$) the same day and the status changed to Shop the day after. Today, February 23rd, I got my camera delivered at my front door at 9:38 am in perfect condition. Total time from my door to Nikon and back: 11 days, including two weekends and return shipping ! I am truly impressed! Nikon just earned a lifelong customer. [md]
Sent the lens in for repair (a 35-70 2.8D) - it took them over 2 1/2 months to send it back. They never properly repaired the lens - the full extent of the terrible repair job became clear in detailed study and tests using focus charts - at 35mm the lens is "sort of okay", but the macro lock is broken still. At 70mm the lens is terribly soft to the point of being unusable.
The auto focus chatters, the macro lock is broken, and the image is unacceptably soft especially at 70 mm. And not only did they do a terrible job of repair, it took them over 2 1/2 months to send it back.
It's a worthless repair service in all respects. [as]
I sent a note a few weeks ago about this to see if you seen this before. You said yes….camera went to shop in NY. I got the camera back today 249.44 with shipping. Rpl SQ Base Plate Replace Rubber Grip Rpl CF cardholder Rubber Rply Shutter Mechanism ADJ Auto Focus Operation CKD Communication CLN CCD General Check & Clean Took camera out of box and attached the 10 pin remote – MC-20. Still swivels….they did not fix the issue at all. But, does that mean I have a new Shutter Mechanism. When I called the guy on the phone, Omar, says it was an autofocus problem. So, read him the description straight off their PDF file and asked him where I said the problem was autofocus? He had no clue. By the way..I marked the 10 pin remote connection cover with a piece of Green Neon Duct Tape. Kind of hard to miss that…tape is still there! 3 or 4 weeks without a camera by the time it gets done [jh]
It's a bit too early to say how this experience is going to turn out, but easy to see the direction it's heading.
An otherwise comical chain of events led to a light splash of turkey noodle soup on my D700 and 200/f2. Very light. But I didn't want it todry into a smelly, sticky mess so I grabbed a nearby dixie cup with about a half-inch of water in it and poured it gently over the spill, then dried it up with napkins. Perhaps not the best course of action, but this is a weather sealed unit and we're talking about less water under less pressure than one would encounter in a minute of running for shelter when surprised by a light rainfall.
An hour later, the camera was dead. Water damage never occurred to me. Thinking it must be the battery, I opened the compartment to swap in a new one and found...water. Out comes the battery and into an airtight container full of dessicant goes the D700. The lens is fine (other than an unrelated issue I'll get to in a minute). Nikon wants me to ship them both the lens and camera so they can figure out how the water got inside. Cool. My 200mm makes a weird noise when I use VR (which is rare), so this is as good a time as any to have it looked at under warranty. I also sat through the first of many lectures about the difference between "weather sealed" and "waterproof." I know they're not the same thing, but it's funny how Nikon never, ever wants to tell you what "weather sealed" is good for, other than it's NOT the same as waterproof.
I sent the gear in on a Friday and on Tuesday received a service estimate for the D700: $340 Reason for service? LIQUID DAMAGE TO GWO. Accurate, I suppose, but now very helpful. I called and asked what they found. How did the water get inside? Answer: you poured it on the camera. Seriously. Another lecture about the D700 not being waterproof; a suggestion that I may want to purchase an underwater housing. The guy ended up saying he was looking at the same sketchy info I was, but he could pass notes along to the service tech and ask for comment. We spoke for another 10 minutes about how I count on this gear to earn a living, I need to know I can rely on it, and what my expectations of weather sealing are. I'm a former Olympus E-1 shooter, so I'm a bit spoiled in that regard, but still: I'm not looking for a waterproof camera. But please, someone, anyone: tell me how an ounce or two of water poured gently over the TOP of a weather sealed "professional" camera find its way inside the sealed battery compartment on the BOTTOM of the camera? And why doesn't anyone but me think it's a big deal? In addition to the "not waterproof" lecture, I also enjoyed an explanation of how the power of water shouldn't be underestimated. In case I didn't get the point, he used colorful examples like "water can break concrete" and "did you see that tsunami in Japan?" Wow.
I heard back from them Thursday night. My 11-minute phone call was summarized as, "Dane called in because he wanted further information on the estimate."
Not surprisingly, the response didn't address any of my questions. They just said, "The D700 nor any of our cameras are advertised as weather proof. For weather proof protection we advise on purchasing a third party body weather proof armor." I used the online service area to update my case with the actual questions and concerns I had previously shared on the phone, and am patiently awaiting response.
Friday morning I got the service estimate for the 200mm. I told them I hadn't had any trouble as a result of the water spill but would like them to look at the VR mechanism as mentioned above. On the repair estimate they give the reason for service as, "LIQUID DAMAGE NO SIGNS OF WATER DAMAGE CLEAN & CHECK WILL NOT POWER ON." Do these guys even read or listen to anything, or are they just in their own little world? The lens won't power on? Really? Maybe because I haven't yet found the power switch? Again, I went online to update the case with my actual questions and concerns.
At this rate, this could all take awhile. So far, it's been an unpleasant experience that doesn't inspire any confidence whatsoever in Nikon. [dr]

The Age of Melancholy
"Major Depression" and its Social Origin
By Dan G. Blazer
Routledge – 2005 – 262 pages
Routledge – 2005 – 262 pages
Depression has become the most frequently diagnosed chronic mental illness, and is a disability encountered almost daily by mental health professionals of all trades. "Major Depression" is a medical disease, which some would argue has reached epidemic proportions in contemporary society, and it affects our bodies and brains just like any other disease. Why, this book asks, has the incidence of depression been on such an increase in the last 50 years, if our basic biology hasn't changed as rapidly? To find answers, Dr. Blazer looks at the social forces, cultural and environmental upheavals, and other external, group factors that have undergone significant change. In so doing, the author revives the tenets of social psychiatry, the process of looking at social trends, environmental factors, and correlations among groups in efforts to understand psychiatric disorders.
Preface Part I: The Diagnosis of Depression. Introduction. The Birth and Growth of Major Depression. The Rise and Fall of Depression as a Reaction. Part II: Social Psychiatry. The Birth and Growth of Social Psychiatry. The Retreat of Social Psychiatry. Part III: The Frequency of Depression and a Lesson from War and Society. Interpreting the Burden. A Lesson From War Syndromes. Things Fall Apart: Society and Depression on the Threshold of the 21st Century. Part IV: The Revival of Social Psychiatry. A Call for Basic Social Science Research in Psychiatry. Emotion: A Link Between Body and Society. The Problem with Soma
Dan G. Blazer, M.D., Ph.D., is J.P. Gibbons Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Professor of Community and Family Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine. Dr. Blazer is also an Adjunct Professor of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina.

Various organic compounds, including graphitic carbon, can be formed abiotically in hydrothermal systems, such that evidence for early life must necessarily combine geological, morphological and geochemical data to be compelling. Carbonaceous materials (CM) have been isolated from three rock packages of mid to early Archaean age from the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia. This CM has been subjected to a multidisciplinary approach utilising a variety of analytical and observational techniques, in an attempt to establish the occurrence, associations, mineral affinities, historical environments of growth, and the metamorphic/thermal history experienced by what may be some of the earliest, relatively pristine record of 3500 million year old life on this planet. CM isolated from drillcore obtained from the first of these localities, the 3.24 Ga Sulphur Springs volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposit, occurs as isotopically light (δ13C values of −34.0 ‰ to −26.8 δ13C) finely striated, lenticular to banded material emplaced parallel to original sedimentary bedding planes within the fine-grained silicified epiclastic hanging wall sediments. Petrological and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations have revealed well-preserved bundles of filamentous and tubular structured microbial remains closely resembling both modern-day and more ancient microbial forms documented from sea floor hydrothermal environments. Total organic carbon (TOC) has a range of <1.0 to 2.3 %, while the thermal maturity (%Ro) of the filamentous bundles points to maximum temperatures since deposition of around 90–100 °C, a factor that has enabled the preservation of their morphology. These results are suggestive of a well-developed Archaean sediment-hosted microbial community, situated within a basinal environment associated with an active centre of seafloor hydrothermal activity. The majority of the CM isolated from drillcore samples of the second locality, the 3.46 Ga Salgash Subgroup, a lower member of the Apex Basalt, also appears as in situ, bedding parallel bands intercalated with foliated altered argillaceous sandstone beds. TOC of the samples ranges from 1.25 to 11.48 %, while carbon content varies from 2.05 to 32.17 %. δ13C results are relatively heavy, varying from -30.4 to -22.5 ‰. Thermal maturity indicators of 10-13 %Ro suggest the CM having been subjected to temperatures greater than normally obtained from processes associated with burial. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) results showed this CM in a highly ordered graphitic state. Optically, the graphite lacks the typical pronounced anisotropy characterising graphites in metamorphic terranes. Graphitisation therefore, is likely the result of rapid heating at very high temperature. HRTEM of this material revealed an extremely high level of molecular ordering contemporaneous with the presence of the C60 fullerene molecules within carbon nanotubes. These forms are a key to the distinction between biologically and abiotically synthesized CM, both by their small size and their resistance to thermal degradation. The occurrence of these carbon forms in terrestrial deposits is rare, and usually associated with wildfires, lighting strike or meteoritic impact. In the case of the Salgash CM, the formation of these molecules and the isotropic graphitised state of the CM is interpreted as a result of emplacement under pressure of very high temperature (komatiitic/ peridotite) lavas. The thermal overprint of the CM by such a high temperature process resulted in the volatilisation of the organic material, destruction of any primary biological morphology and the subsequent reorganisation of the residual CM, resulting in increased molecular ordering. In the third part of the study, CM isolated from drillcore samples of the ca. 3.5 Ga Dresser Formation bedded black chert-barite units, occurs in both dispersed and layered forms, interlayered with fine-grained silica. The intimate association of the CM and silica strongly resembles silicified microbial colonies from active hydrothermal systems, which have been previously proposed as analogues of Archaean hydrothermal sites. Isotopically light δ13C values from -38.2 to -32.1 ‰, and the association of C, H, and N, are highly indicative of a biological origin for the material. Palaeotemperatures calculated from δ18O isotope analysis of quartz chips indicate a depositional temperature for the hydrothermal veins ranging from ~120 °C to ~200 °C. 207Pb-206Pb isotope analyses conducted on pyrites extracted from the interbedded barite units reveal a dual MORB and Erosion mix source for the Pb, which gives an average 207Pb/206Pb age of 3531±42 Ma for the deposit. Ro measurements reveal four distinct CM populations, defined as ACM, A1CM, BCM, and CCM, which represent temperatures ranging from 170 °C to potentially >400 °C. TEM and HRTEM observations of the lower temperature CM population show morphological entities strongly suggestive of microbial remains, including possible cell wall remnants. Higher Ro rank CM commonly fills or coats mineral grains and lacks distinguishable structures, which is consistent with an increased thermal degradation /hydrothermal overprint. The geological setting and mineralogy of the Dresser Formation endorse its formational history as a silica-barite dominated seafloor hydrothermal deposit, most likely analogous to modern "white smokers". The occurrence of the predominant CM (type ACM) in more or less continuous bands and laminae within the sedimentary rocks suggest an in situ, syndepositional source for the majority of this material, whereas the dispersed nature of type BCM particles indicates a recycled nature. The occurrence of type CCM within fluid inclusions gives an insight into the primary morphology of the non-degraded original microbial cells that may have existed at that time. These observations, combined with the carbon isotopic heterogeneity and fractionations are suggestive of chemosynthetic microbes occupying a seafloor hydrothermal system where rapid silicification at relatively low temperature preserved the CM. Finally, in an effort to further understand the CM structures observed in the rocks of the Dresser Formation in the context of present day microbial colonies in similar environments, a comparative morphological study was conducted using a potential modern analogue derived from an active seafloor hydrothermal environment. Such methodology utilises the standard classification used in biological species identification, which is initially based on visual identification of specific features, whether by the naked eye, light microscopy or electron microscopy. The extant hyperthermophilic microbe Methanocaldococcus jannaschii was cultured under conditions similar to the Archaean seafloor, simulating an increased thermal maturity by artificially induced autoclaving at 100 °C (1 atm) and 132 °C (2 atm). A striking resemblance to the early Archaean forms observed in the Dresser CM was evident in both wall structure and thermal degradation mode of the cultured microbe. Cell disintegration of the cultures occurred at 100 °C marking the limits of life, whereas complete disintegration, deformation and shrinkage of the cells occurred at 132 °C. These comparative observations present as a feasible way of understanding the structural features in CM identified in Archaean sedimentary packages.

Your posture tells alot about the emotions you are feeling. | People in rapport have the same physiology. |
You can check later in your communication to see if you are actually in rapport by "leading." Leading means, for example, that if you are both sitting with un-crossed legs, you cross your legs. The other person will follow suit shortly, assuming you are in rapport. Once you have effectively led the other person, you can share your ideas and thoughts more constructively.
I was demonstrating this technique of pacing and leading in a public presentation some months ago. I asked a man to come out of the audience to volunteer to assist me in demonstrating rapport building to the rest of the audience.
After he was seated, I sat like he did and began to explain to the audience that I was intentionally slowing my breathing down, sitting straighter and crossing my arms because the gentleman was doing so. I explained that it wouldn't be long before the gentleman would feel more comfortable and loosen up.
I began asking him questions about his job, how long he had been there and general information questions about himself. I finally got him to open up with his comments about the recent elections with which I earnestly agreed with him. As soon as his head was nodding with mine about the good luck we had in the recent election, I immediately opened up my body posture so my arms were no longer crossed. He instantly did the same thing and I immediately pointed out that I led him out as soon as I felt we had rapport. He confirmed that he felt comfortable with me when we were talking about politics and that he wasn't even aware that he had opened his arms.
That gentleman was returned to his chair and I asked another man to come up. This time I instructed the man that once he had attained a specific body position, I wanted him to keep it until we were done with the experiment.
He agreed to do so. He crossed one leg over, sat in a little more of a hunched posture, and breathed even more deeply than the man before him. I assumed a mirror position. I asked him about his work and his political views, which did not match mine in any way. We switched to sports and got to talking about the Minnesota Vikings and how close they came to the super bowl in 1998. I asked him why he thought they couldn't beat the Atlanta Falcons and he started to tell me his opinion.
As soon as he was moving, I intentionally led him by opening up my body posture. His right arm twitched when he saw my left arm open up. Everyone in the first 10 or so rows saw this and laughed. He didn't follow through but the point was clear. He was in rapport and I had succeeded in leading him even though he didn't actually change his body posture. He wanted to!
People sitting next to each other who watch a movie together will often breathe in sync with each other, especially if the movie is particularly dramatic or eery. Certain emotions are likely to bring about certain breathing patterns and these can be particularly useful to model, if the opportunity arises!
All of these rapport builders lead us to an important key involving effective communication: You must often be more like others than yourself if your goal is to engage people in deep and intimate relationships.
Remember a time when you were in complete rapport with someone? This is a time that you both were almost thinking the same thing.
When you experienced these moments of rapport with someone, did you feel that you were on a roll or experiencing enthusiasm or another intense emotion at the time?
Physical Appearance
How does your appearance speak volumes about you? | Is your dress appropriate for the context of your presentation? |
Ted Nugent is a rock star, popular from the 80's. He has a certain persona which allows him to dress, adorn his body and behave differently than an "average" person in society. In fact, when you see Ted Nugent, you expect that he will look different. How would your boss or your wife feel if you came home looking like Ted Nugent? Unless you've done the groundwork to build that persona, stick to what makes sense for you!
A woman wearing a form fitting dress fits right into the expected vision when she's being photographed for a men's magazine, or a woman's fashion magazine. However, if she walked into the office wearing this outfit, she'd get many appraising looks and some serious, "what are you thinking" frowns.
Accordingly, an engineer coming in for a day at the office would look funny in anything other than a button up shirt and dress pants, wouldn't he?
Yes, the clothing we wear, and the things we choose to adorn our bodies with have a huge impact on whomever we come in contact with on a daily basis.

Basement Wall Moisture - who to call?
I am planning on finishing my basement soon. But I have an on-going problem with water in one corner of the basement. Tried to solve by extending the down spout (located at the same corner). Next, I removed a shrub that was planted at the corner of the house. Pulled up the landscaping and regraded.
There is window well next to the corner (on a hard rain the well does get a few inches of water standing in it but it does eventually drain). The foundation is tiled inside and outside the footing. Its been about two weeks since we've had significant rain. The corner wall is still damp from the outside ground level down to the basement floor. Floor is dry. I can not see the corner or where the wall meets the floor because there is framing in place. (I removed the installation and vapor barrier to monitor the moisture.) In the past, we have had a pool of water on the floor from this corner. But I cannot see any cracks. I am looking for suggestions. Should I ripe out the framing? Should I attack the problem from the outside? I am willing to pay money to get the project moving...but I am unsure who to call in. (First person I called wanted to install a tray along the bottom of the wall and direct the water to the drain.) I would prefer to stop the water outside, not redirect on the inside. Any ideas? I posted some picture here: http://www.diychatroom.com/members/r...wall-moisture/ There is crack on the outside block. I dug out the corner and it continues down.

Basement Wall Moisture - who to call?
It sounds like you've done all the right things outside to deal with the runoff. Removed shrubs, extended downspouts.
How is the grading? It should slope away from the house. I believe all that is left for you to do now is to improve foundation drainage. That can be done in two ways:
I understand your basement is finished. Internal perimeter drains are installed by cutting a few inches off the drywall and insulation so that they can access the corner between the walls and floor. If you chose an internal drain tile, ask the contractor about drywall repair options. |

What are your expectations? For me, a sweet 16 appearance would tie a nice ribbon on this season (even though a championship would be cool) and I would be comfortable with that. Not saying we shouldn't strive for the whole enchilada, but....
It already has been a success. Sweet 16 would put the cherry on top.
Success even with a loss on Friday.
I'll only be bummed if we can't win this first game. UNC just rattled off a dozen ACC wins in a row, I won't be devastated if we lost to them. Beyond that it looks like we'd have a sweet 16 road game against one of three teams playing a stone's throw from home. I think it's a pretty tough draw personally. The winning streak, the Michigan win, the OK State OT wins, the Big 12 tournament run, great year as long as the guys play hard down to the finish.
It's a success if One Shining Moment is played over celebrating Cyclones.
Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice? Maria Sharapova: Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.
Originally Posted by MNclone Success even with a loss on Friday. ...I disagree. No sense in playing this well all season just to get bounced in the first round. Stay hungry Cyclones.
this team has surpassed my expectations so far. enjoying the rest of this crazy ride. remember, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year
Fred reloads.
I think with the high seeding, and the current bracket sweet 16/elite 8 is a realistic expectation. They have to play well all game though, no more first half shooting/layup breakdowns. NC Central should be a win. They don't pose any significant matchup problems for us, and Fred has shown he doesn't lose to teams where he has the matchup advantage. Expect Niang, Ejim, and Kane to feast inside. This isn't a lengthy athletic B12 defense we're playing against... Providence/UNC: Don't know much about providence, other than they beat Creighton. Again I can't imagine they have great personnel matchups to beat us. UNC is a different story, need to keep McAdoo/Johnson off the glass and need Morris to shut down Paige. UNC goes as he goes, and if he can get shutdown I don't think UNC has the offense to keep up with us. At that point we're likely playing UConn/St. Joes/Nova. I think we can own UConn, their offense is also run through basically one guy, and they go as Napier goes. I admitedly don't know much about the style/personnel of St. Joes/Nova so I can't make accurate assumptions about a possible matchup against them. After that no matter what we're playing a quality team, so it's likely going to come down to the wire and who makes clutch plays. Just my quick analysis.
All I want to see is our guys playing like they did this weekend because they really put it together. It was beautiful to watch. If they can keep that up, I'll be happy to let the chips fall where they may. Sometimes you get beat, the other team is just better that day. But if we play well, I'll be satisfied.
I just want to keep winning...
I can't expect a Sweet 16, but it would be a good showing for this team. I'll be very happy if they play well Friday and come out with a win as well.
It is already a success, now the expectations have been raised. The next step is to get to the sweet sixteen and beyond.
Originally Posted by jdoggivjc It's a success if One Shining Moment is played over celebrating Cyclones. Correction: One Cyclone Moment. Back on track: Regular season has already been a success. Tourney success would be Sweet 16, or playing to our capabilities and playing in Dallas.

Already a success, the rest is just icing on the cake.

Twins Philip and Paul Garber share duties as honorary coconsuls of Chile, working out of their Brighton basement.
No-cost diplomats
Honorary consuls, many unpaid, increasingly vital to nations' missions
The Garber twins are among an increasingly prominent corps of Americans here and nationwide that are serving as "honorary consuls'' for countries that want a diplomatic presence in a city such as Boston, a hub of medicine, education and technology, without having to pay for it. Called honorary consuls, the Americans are largely unpaid, but they get a glimpse of the mysterious and glamorous life of diplomacy.

Libyan War Is For Water - NOT Oil - Largest Fossil Water Reserve

Libyan War Is For Water - NOT Oil - Largest Fossil Water Reserve Libya and Egypt sit on a resource more valuable than oil, in that part of the world . . The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer , is a sea of fresh water , that has an invaluable value , on a continet as Africa . Gaddafi used much of the funds generated from oil to build the " Great Man Made River Project " ( GMMRP ) . The 4,000 Km long water pipeline barried underneath the desert . $ 25 Billion has already been invested into this project, and not one penny has came from the IMF or the World Bank. In other words Gaddafi didnt allow his people to fall into debt, from there would be no way out and Guess who didnt like that ? Scientist estimate that there is an equivalant of 200 - 1,000 years of fresh water flowing down the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer . This Pipeline and Aquifer has been owned by the libyan people and not by Veolia , Suez Ondeo or Saur , the French companies who control more than 40% of the worlds water market . Remember Which Country Was The Fastest to Attack Libya? Just Pure Evil and Greed.

What troubles me is that, as fast as they could, national "news" outlets went from covering the devastation to fear mongering. Is the nuclear plant in your back yard killing your children? Iodine pills are the magical elixir! Will contaminated rice doom our country?
I also love when the reporters don't get the worst-case-scenario answer they want.
Reporter: When will we have to start donning fallout suits as the radiation floats across the Pacific?
Scientist with degree in this field: We do not have to worry about contamination from this event. There will such a slight elevation in radiation levels that it will not affect us.
Reporter: But what if there is a huge gust of wind? A plane loaded with contaminated victims? Toyotas with radioactive brakes? Locusts!!!
Scientist: There's a one-in-one billion chance of that happening.
Reporter: So you're telling me there's a chance. I read ya.
Tell you what. How about we concentrate on the real story here. Helping the hundreds of thousands of people start to rebuild after a devastating natural event that has done as much if not more damage than the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the atomic bomb.
That's about all for now. Back to the couch for some more Jimmer-mania against Florida.

Grumble Grumble Hmmm... Grumble Grumble
I was considering looking at HP combo printer units myself... what kind of issues did you have with it???
Well basically I want to get an all in one printer/scanner/copier ... but I'm pretty stuck on which brand to get. I wanted to ask what kind do you suggest? By the way ... I have an HP ... so yeah, I don't want HP anymore ><;;;

FAVOURITE THREADS EXPLAIN why, or risk an infraction.Rantings of a Grouchy Old Anime Otaku
Get a Lexmark 2500 it comes with printer/scanner/copier and fax capabilities. Price wise it is not that expensive like the HP J4540 all in one.
try lexmark, it's good, i have lexmark 3500-4500 series with printer, scanner nd copier, but without fax
I keep trying to reinstall it ... but it keeps telling me that the USB cable isn't connected when it is. I have no idea what to do because it's not letting me scan anything. It lets me print things and copy too but scanning ... it doesn't do it. That and I need the scanner more than anything. Maybe it's the USB cable ... I'm not so sure. I should print screen what it tells me.
I'll think about the lexmark though ...
Instead of scanning your documents through the software do it directly from the printer. choose the scan option from the printer keypad, then it will ask you what type of scan you want to make. Let me know if that works.

The Scottish Government and Scottish Rugby joined forces today to support the Back Scotland campaign for the Rugby World Cup. In a visit to Murrayfield today, Stewart Maxwell MSP, Minister for Communities and Sport, threw the Scottish Government's weight fully behind Scottish Rugby's Back Scotland campaign. He was joined by Colin Thomson, Scottish Rugby's Head of Community Rugby, who explained how the Community game is contributing to the campaign. The Scottish Government and Scottish Rugby joined forces today to support the Back Scotland campaign for the Rugby World Cup.
In a visit to Murrayfield today, Stewart Maxwell MSP, Minister for Communities and Sport, threw the Scottish Government's weight fully behind Scottish Rugby's Back Scotland campaign.
He was joined by Colin Thomson, Scottish Rugby's Head of Community Rugby, who explained how the Community game is contributing to the campaign. The goal is to bring the Rugby World Cup alive for boys and girls and encourage schools and clubs to get behind their national team.
The Minister for Communities and Sport Stewart Maxwell said: "I want to wish the Scotland team all the very best of luck in the Rugby World Cup.
"Every member of the squad will have been training hard for months in preparation for the tournament and I know how eager they'll be to take on the best from other rugby nations around the world.
"The whole country will be willing them on."
Colin Thomson added: "Any World Cup event generates huge amounts of media interest, and it is important that we in rugby use this opportunity to raise the profile of our game during this time - not just to unearth the future generation of Scotland internationals.
"It is important, too, that we give children the chance to participate in sport and emphasise the positive role that sport can play in their lives, as well as highlighting the sporting role models that we have representing Scotland at this time."
Two 10-year-old pupils from nearby Roseburn Primary School, Lindsay Ferry and Matthew Gaffney, played their part in promoting the campaign, surrounded by hundreds of Back Scotland mini rugby balls and the now iconic Sean Lamont Back Scotland 'Saltire' poster.
Matthew said: "I play at Murrayfield Wanderers at outside centre, and my favourite Scotland player is Rob Dewey. I hope to get to Murrayfield on Tuesday to see the Scotland team in action against Romania."
Lindsay said "I watched Scotland play Portugal and really enjoyed it. I want to wish the Scotland team all the best against Romania and hope they do well."
"Saltire Sean", as the World Cup poster has become known, is the centrepiece of Scottish Rugby's campaign to raise awareness throughout the country that the Rugby World Cup is coming to town. Scotland play Romania at Murrayfield on Tuesday 18 September and New Zealand follow on Sunday 23 September.
The Back Scotland campaign aims to galvanise the nation behind the team as well as create a legacy from the Rugby World Cup that will recruit and retain young rugby players across the country.
This will impact on Scotland's rugby communities in several ways:
• Over 50 Mini Rugby World Cups being run across Scotland by the Scottish Rugby development team.
• 50,000 Back Scotland/wall planner posters to be distributed across the country through Scottish Rugby's Regional Development Networks.
• 10,000 Back Scotland soft mini-rugby balls to be distributed across the country through the Regional Development Networks.
• 10,000 skills cards with top 10 tips where children can have fun trying and practising.
• 10,000 recruitment flyers for clubs to use to promote themselves to new young rugby players at the events.
Tickets are still available for the Scotland v Romania match on 18 September (kick-off 8pm). Prices are as low as ?£9, and bookings can be made online (www.scottishrugby.org) or by phone (0131 346 5100) or visiting the Scottish Rugby Ticket Centre at Murrayfield.
Please note the Scotland v Romania match on 18 September will NOT be shown live on STV and will be broadcast only on digital channel ITV4.

A themed series of exhibitions and lectures analysing the concept of the blueprint (the term commonly applied to cyanotype prints in engineering and technical drawings) is currently ongoing at cultural venues in and around Glasgow. How much we know of the technical photography process and its impact on print are put under the lens as part of the 'Blueprint 2013' programme, a collaboration between a number of Glasgow galleries, archives and museums.
Mike Ware from the Scottish Society for the History of Photography will be presenting a lecture entitled 'Cyanotype: a blueprint for visual vandalism?' this Thursday 14th February at 6pm in the Mitchell Library. Subsequent presentations will also be given by GSA's Frances Robertson and Bruce Peter at later dates in the programme.
The lecture series ties-in with Blueprint 2013 exhibitions currently being held at Trongate 103 in the Glasgow Print Studio and Street Level Photoworks until 17th March. The print studio are exhibiting works which have been produced by manipulating original camera images through the use of traditional print-making processes in ink while Anna Atkins' cyanotypes of British Algae feature in the foyer alongside the engineering blueprints for Glasgow-built ships: 'Big Loco' and the Queen Mary.
All events are free and promise to explore the links between alternative photographic processes and fine art photographic printmaking in detail. You might call it a 'once in a blue moon' opportunity...

Comments about Sig Sauer P226 X-Five Blue Moon Handgun:
wow, what a gun. Incredible design and incredible accuracy. As crazy as this sounds, it is worth every penny! Beside being beautiful, it shoots so smooth and straight out of the box, it will fool you into thinking you are better than you really are. Any idiot can pick this up and have pin point accuracy. What a gun! My only wish is for there to be more holsters for this. I had to have Mitch Rosen make one and it was not cheap. Also I wish it had a safety.
