Frustrating Fridayfor Jets after defeatBy DENNIS WASZAK Jr.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 14,2013NEW YORK Interceptions. Dropped passes. Flared tempers.
It all made for one ugly night for the New York Jets.
And, one in which they still could have walked out of New England with a win.
Obviously, coach Rex Ryan said Friday, theres some frustration in the fact that we didnt pull it out.
They certainly had their chances in a 13-10 loss Thursday night in which Tom Brady and his wide receivers were not in sync and the Jets defense was impressive for the second straight game. But New York had at least six dropped passes in slick conditions, and rookie Geno Smith also threw three fourth-quarter interceptions.
There was also a sideline skirmish at the end of the night that put a fitting end to a messy game.
We had some opportunities there, clearly, Ryan said during a conference call. You have to give New England credit because they made enough plays at the end of the game to win it and were able to turn the ball over, and that was obviously critical.
The numbers are what makes Ryan and the rest of the Jets shake their heads, and the fact the Patriots were without key playmakers Danny Amendola, Rob Gronkowski and Shane Vereen. Brady was just 19 of 39 for 185 yards and a touchdown, a 48.7 completion percentage that was his lowest since 2009. The Patriots quarterback was visibly frustrated by the Jets, and yelled at his receivers.
New England also went just 4 for 19 on third down and punted 11 times.
I think our defense played extremely well, Ryan said. Anytime you can force New England to punt more than they had first downs, I think, even though I understand most of the credit is going elsewhere, I think some of the credit should be going to our team.
The defense was clearly the bright spot of the game for the Jets, who didnt allow a point to the Patriots in the second half. New York allowed only three points to Tampa Bay in the second half of last Sundays 18-17 win.
Is anybody surprised we have a great defense? said Ryan, who predicted in the preseason that his team would finish ranked in the top 5 in the league. I dont think that surprises anybody. ... By the end of the year, this team, it could be pretty salty on defense.
That Smith struggled on the road, in New England, in particular, was also not a stunner. But the way things fell apart in the final quarter could be cause for some concern.
After going three quarters without a critical mistake, Smith had the Jets in position to try for a tying field goal. But he tried to force a pass to Santonio Holmes on third down that he threw across his body and was intercepted by Aqib Talib. Alfonzo Dennard picked off Smith later in the quarter on a bad throw intended for Clyde Gates.
Worst of all was a throw in the final minute to Stephen Hill that Talib stepped in front of to seal the win for the Patriots.
That play led to Nick Mangolds dive at Talibs legs near the sideline that set off the skirmish. Ryan insisted it wasnt intentional, but Mangold and fellow offensive linemen Willie Colon and DBrickashaw Ferguson both ejected could face league discipline.
It appeared Ferguson took a swing at Patriots center Ryan Wendall, and Colon pushed away the hands of back judge Todd Prukop after Prukop made contact with the Jets offensive lineman. The contact with the official doesnt carry an automatic suspension.
Smith shouldered the blame for the loss, and the mistakes by the offense.
Through it, he was still poised, Ryan said. It wasnt like he was rattled. I think he was confident. He threw some jump balls at the end when youre trying to force some issues, but youre trying to make some plays.
The young man, for the most part, he delivered some nice passes. Weve just got to catch them.
Thats an area where Smith wasnt at fault. Ryan wasnt sure exactly how many drops there were by Jets receivers It was way too many, he said but there were at least six, including three by Gates.
We know we have to catch the ball better, Ryan said. Weve emphasized it all camp. Im confident well get it fixed.
We have to get it fixed.
There was also the fumble by Hill that turned a big gain into a change of possession and soon after, a field goal in the first half for the Patriots.
You turn it over four times against New England, Ryan said, I just dont think you have a chance.

Aventura-Ann Arbor
I'm thinking about checking out Aventura tonight. Has anyone been yet? Good? Bad? Meh?
Any favorite dishes?
I went there last Friday night for the first time. I liked it.
We had the HAMBURGUESA DE CORDERO (lamb hamburgers) and the COCHINILLO (suckling pig).
The Cochinillo comes with your choice of 3 side dishes. We got the flat bread pizza, the mushrooms, and the potatoes.
Everything was very good.
The ambience is a bit busy, and a little on the loud side maybe, but it is still interesting.
I'm looking forward to going back and trying more items. There's plenty to chose from for sure.
This may be too late for your visit tonight, but anyway:
We went there for dinner 3 weeks ago. It has a lot of potential and we would certainly go back.
The Patatas Bravas are exceptional. The best I've ever had, and I've had them in Spain.
The Pimentos de Padron (our reference dish in any tapas place) was average. Similar to what I make at home with padron peppers when they're available in season at the A2 Farmers Market.
The Cochinillo was disappointing - served cold and flavorless. The accompaniments were good, as was the crisp skin.
The Datiles con Chorizo was also average; I was expecting a salty sweet bomb, but it tasted pretty flat.
We all enjoyed the vibe of the place. Great addition to the A2 restaurant scene.

Safety concerns have delayed the maiden flight of the naval variant of the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Tejas light combat aircraft.
"It is very important to make sure the aircraft is safe," says an industry source. "If a disaster were to occur, it would be the end of the road for the programme."
The source says the naval variant could have its first flight "any day now". In June 2011, a programme official told Flightglobal that the navalised Tejas would have its first flight in November 2011, but this never materialised.
The source declined to provide details about the safety concerns involved in the aircraft, or what steps have been taken to rectify them. He spoke to Flightglobal at India's Defexpo 2012 trade show in New Delhi.
After being unveiled in June 2010, the naval variant has yet to conduct its first flight. Nonetheless, in early February, the Indian navy ordered eight additional examples of the variant.
Although the naval variant was to have been powered by the General Electric F414 powerplant, the eight examples the navy ordered will use the less powerful F404.
After initial flight tests from HAL's facilities in Bengaluru, the aircraft will be sent to Hansa naval air station near Goa where it will undergo carrier compatibility tests.
The source added that the F414-powered Tejas Mk II will be rolled out in early 2014, with a first flight by December 2014.
As of 31 March, the Tejas Mk I aircraft had completed 1,816 flight tests. The type received initial operational clearance in January 2011. The source says final operational clearance could be given by the end of 2012.

EGSFF Youth Project: Harrison Kennedy
Harrison Kennedy is an 18-year-old senior at Spartanburg High School. He plays for the lacrosse team and is a member of Interact, Outdoors, and Tippers Clubs. Outside school he is a Wyldlife leader and loves just hanging out with his friends. "Education wise," he says, "I am more of a math student and am going to Wofford College intending on majoring in finance and/or accounting. Recently I have discovered that I like to write poetry a lot during class and read educational articles about the environment."
This project has benefited our class beyond what we thought we could realize in the filming world. Throughout this project, many people have come to show us the how to, what to, when to, and so on to create the greatest film known to man– or, at least, known to Spartan High. We would like to thank everyone for the help. And trust me when I say that the help we have gotten will benefit the film from shot to shot.
As of now in our project, we have been filming and are soon to upload our videos to the computer. This will make up most of our week, and we have a plan for how we will put all of our pieces together. Hopefully it will work as intended, and we will show how much we have been helped and prove the point that high school kids are capable of hanging with the best in the business.
For our film "Sweet Tea," based on John Lane's poem of the same name, we have been shooting people of many ethnicities, different voices, unique faces, and anything else that might strike viewers of our short film. We are designing this to highlight multiple aspects of and places in Spartanburg to get a good reaction from the Hub City and Hub-Bub audience. Many shots of people have been filmed, and we are getting John Lane, the author of the poem, to read out parts of the poem him, a feature which we thought would convey how this poem actually describes the reality of the South.
To finish off, we will continue our hard work with anything and everything given to us. We could not feel any more honored to have this project and to have such major people in the business help us out. Dr. Epps will make sure, along with my very prestigious classmates, that we will not let anyone down!

What's for dinner? Paula Deen's hobo burgers recipe
My most favorite recipe for hamburger packets! These went over well.
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1 cup cracker crumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 t Shannon's steak seasoning
- 4 medium red potatoes, sliced very thin
- 1 large onion, sliced thin
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into strips
- 4-12 slices bacon (I like a lot of bacon!)
- In a large bowl combine ground beef, cracker crumbs, egg, lemon juice, cheese and steak seasoning. Mix well. Shape into 4 patties.
- Place each patty onto 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil (enough to cover and close). On each patty, place potato slices, onion slices, and carrots. Slice bacon in half and place both slices on top. Seal aluminum foil tightly and bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 50-60 minutes or til potatoes are tender.

The Voices of Those Walking By ~ A View From the Keyboard of David W. Berner February 19, 2013Posted by Patricia Ann McNair in Blog posts, Things and Stuff, View From the Keyboard.

So pleased to have David W. Berner give us a glimpse into his workspace. David is an award-winning journalist, a radio guy, a fiction writer, and a colleague of mine at Columbia College Chicago where he teaches in the Radio Department. Most of all, though, this man is a storyteller. I may be wrong here, but I think story is among those things he values most. In fact, he developed a course at Columbia called "The Radio Narrative – Tell Your Story," in which he helps students find the best of the stories that have meaning for them and produce them for radio audiences. Story? Yes, please. And pass it on, I say.
The romantic side of me wants a shed, a Dylan Thomas-esque boathouse, some spare spot of fertile ground where wonderful ideas could germinate. But, I don't have a boathouse, or a boat, or live near water. Truth is, I write in a lot of places: coffee shops, trains, slumped in my living room couch. But one spot is a favorite. It's a corner of my small dining room near the window where I can hear city noises. I like the soundtrack of traffic, car tires on rain, the bells of the old church across the street, the voices of those walking by. I like being surrounded by books I'm reading and the beloved old ones. Their presence inspires. Coffee is necessary. And behind me are two photographs that have always been special to me. One is of Hemingway's writing space at his home in Key West and the other is by the famous photographer Zeny Cieslikowski entitled "San Francisco." It's an image of the the street outside City Lights Bookstore, one of my favorite literary destinations. Below them is a portable Royal typewriter, circa 1940. I don't always write in this space, but when I do it may be the best place in the world.
Excerpt from "Over the Edge and Into the Wind"
(First published in Epiphany and then part of After Opium.)
The next day, Michael and Tony traveled 500 miles to San Francisco, drove across the Golden Gate, walked through the Haight, downed late night beers in North Beach, then found a room at the Crystal Hotel – what some called a flophouse on Eddy Street – to sleep away the long ride from Arizona, each taking turns on the floor and the bed. And in the morning, Michael found on the wooden table near the door, a napkin slid under a hard plastic bathroom cup, a crushed cigarette butt still smoking from its bottom. On the napkin was a handwritten note.
I hope you find what you want, and always write what you love.
That fall, Michael found himself back in Las Cruces. He had taken a full time job teaching English at the high school, and each early morning he had made it his routine to steep a pot of tea, sit at his small kitchen table and look out the window toward the Organ Mountain range, and write verse that mattered to him. And sometimes on the weekends, Michael would roll out his sleeping bag on the stony desert ground to sleep under the Southwestern stars and dream of flying.

And to hear this gent read live, why not check out 2nd Story's "Tough Guys Talk Tough: Stories of Image and Action", March 10 & 11, 2013 (two shows) at Webster's Wine Bar in Chicago. Thanks, David, for letting us into your space. And as always, thanks to all for reading! -PMc←
Everyone Remain Calm! ~ Megan Stielstra's View From the Keyboard September 6, 2011Posted by Patricia Ann McNair in Blog posts, Things and Stuff, View From the Keyboard.

add a comment
Megan Stielstra was a pretty blond girl in a Fiction Writing 2 class I taught some years ago. A bright and eager undergraduate student totally dedicated to her writing, Megan was someone I could tell would go somewhere. And so she has. Today Megan Stielstra is a lovely blond woman who was a founder of one of the coolest literary series in Chicago: 2nd Story. She also is about to release her debut story collection. You probably want to check it out: Everyone Remain Calm! You really should. In the meantime, though, you can get a taste of the book here, and the view from Megan's keyboard.
Megan: At this point in my life, writing is more about time than space. I have three jobs and a three-year-old. I'm trying to market one book that I love more than anything, and finish another one that's got me so distracted I keep missing train stops and getting off the elevator on the wrong floor. I think this is the case for most working writers–how do you balance all this life? Time is my most precious commodity, and I use it whenever I can: writing in coffee shops, 2nd Story's studio space between rehearsals, in the car in front of my son's school, or my secret haunt on Columbia College's campus (no, I will not say where! Took me ten years to find this place and I'll guard it like a Brink's truck). But in those lovely, rare times when everything slows down, before Caleb wakes up or after he goes to sleep and I can sit calmly with some coffee or wine (depending on the hour), there's nowhere like my porch. It's my room of one's own in the middle everything, all the noise and movement of this city. We're on the third floor, high above it alI, a stone's throw from the Aragon and when I sit out there I can hear the shows (and also when the shows let out; rowdy, wild affairs. This porch has seen some shit, I'll tell you what). We're gearing up to move somewhere a little bigger, where my husband and I can have actual rooms of one's own, but my heart will still be sitting here on this porch, listening to the Rob Zombie fans screaming his name.
An excerpt from "Shot to the Lungs and No Breath Left," the first story in Everyone Remain Calm!:
It's a scene straight outta some Vin Diesel movie: that big, six-foot pretty-boy is hard at work at the petrol plant, loading Exxon barrels onto the back of some truck. Suddenly—a hard, fast whack to the chest, so fast he's not sure at first if it actually happened. He opens his mouth to speak but his breath is locked so he can't get out the words, just two hollow gulps of air before his lungs soak red like a wet sponge and slowly, slowly, blood seeps through the canvas of his coveralls. In one fatal, horrible second everything connects: the dark red-brown staining his chest. The airless gasping like some cancer patient with a cigarette. The punch above his heart like a shotgun with too much pull and then, after he's too empty of blood and air to keep on his feet, my dad walks right into his line of vision, that H&H Magnum pointed barrel to the ground. "Hey, there, Wade, how you doing?" Dad says, and Wade's stupid blue eyes go glassy and there's more blood on his uniform than there is in his body and in the last single second of life left in him my dad squats down and whispers: "She's my girl, Wade. My one and only girl."
My dad—he loves me like crazy. You can't hate that hard if you don't have love.
Oh yeah, and Megan said this, too: "I happily and fully agree to let Patricia McNair edit this submission for publication on her website/blog. I think Patricia Ann McNair and her website/blog are awesome things and being a part of the community she is building there would make me dance with joy. Also: someone should give her a million dollars." (Thanks, Meg. If someone does give me a million, I'll share. Promise.)

We've heard plenty of people say, "I'm not here to make friends," throughout the years, but this interview with For the Love of Ray J's Caliente features the first utterance of, "I don't was there for find friends," ever (probably). Amazing. Below, Caliente also talks about her feelings for Ray, her 15-year-old son, her talk show and her much-teased-about grasp on the English language.
(And speaking of that, I've done my best to preserve Caliente's voice by transcribing her words verbatim. I didn't type them out phonetically because that'd probably take weeks. I salute the hard work of the For the Love of Ray J 2 subtitlers!)
How was the show for you?
For me, it was perfect. I don't have regrets and I don't have so many bad stuff. Ray would fight, would complain with some girls. But for me, it was very good experience and I'm so happy.
Was it frustrating to be eliminated when it seemed that the other girls had more baggage?
Honestly, I was in shock. I don't believe that he picked Platinum over me when I don't know what is the point if somebody told you, "I'm in love still with my ex-boyfriend." I have told in the interviews: "I don't have ex-husband, I don't have ex-boyfriend, I don't sleep with his friends." I was so clean! I think that my problem was my English. Sometimes with Ray, we cannot have the deeply conversation.
What did you think about the way your English was portrayed with the subtitling and everything?
That it was bad for me?
The show kind of made light of it. Do you laugh about that?
Honestly, I don't care. When the people say, "Oh, she speaks so bad," I want to know what they do these people if they go to my country with nobody speak your language. When I move here, it is not like Miami. It was like if you move to China. I don't understand nothing. I can't say, "Hi," I couldn't say, "Bye." Nothing. I move here one year ago, I go to the school for two months, and learned each day. I know that my English is not perfect, but at least I try! I for this, on one occasion, I was so mad at Extra. She laugh for my English all the time. I say, "You can't laugh because somebody don't speak exactly the perfect language." Maybe for the people here, it's funny when I speak English, but for me it's funny when certain American people try for speak Spanish. It's like, "Mucho caliente." (Laughs) Or, "You are mucho bonita." Ten percent the people laugh, and others understand when I talk. If you go to my country, it would be so hard, because if you don't speak the same language, the people get so rude with you. So I am happy for that. People that know me, they told me, "Are you crazy, if you go to some shows and it's all in English and you don't speak perfect English?" And I say, "I don't care! I try!" Nobody believe in me, but I say: when it's for love, it don't care your language, because the language for the love, it is around the world.
I thought your accent was a cute part of your character.
Yes, honestly, I don't do on purpose. I say what I think. Just yesterday, somebody told me, "Why you say, 'Shut up your mouth?' You can't say this. You need say, 'Shut your mouth.'" (Laughs) Yesterday, somebody told me the correct expression. It was my son.
There was a lot of talk in the episode about you not being serious enough for Ray. What do you think about that?
I disagree. I talk with Ray and I told him I have so responsibilities in my life. I'm very serious person. I can live on myself always in my life with my son, I can support me, so I can be so serious. For this I love laugh, because if you are so serious everyday, if you have somebody in your life, you can't be so serious all the time because it's boring, your life like that. For this I totally disagree, because I can laugh, I can be happy everyday, because I say, "Thank you God, I wake up this morning. I have all health." So, I love laugh. Ray told me, "You're so funny because you make jokes, and finish and nobody understands and you laugh." (Laughs)
You were upset when you were eliminated, though, right?
I don't was upset at all. I was disappoint, I was in shock, that is different than I was upset. I really appreciate it that he walk with me to the door, because he don't walk with nobody at the home. And he walk with me, he open the door, he kicked me out. (Laughs) But was very nice action from him to me. I told Ray that if I can't find nothing with you, I know that I can find one very good friend, and I have a great time and I don't have regrets for nothing. When I was upset, I was upset. When I fight with Flossy, she know I was for one reason, because she talked something about my son. For me was, she cross the line. When I fight with Extra, it was because, come on. You can't live with this girl 24 hours. She's insane. When I was happy, I was happy.
What did Flossy say about your son?
She say, "Why she's here if she have f***ing stupid son?" She don't told me this, the girls told me that. When I confront her, she say, "Uh, yes, it's true. I don't say nothing wrong." I don't care if you have 15, 30, or 50, when you say something about my son, my son is my life, you cross the line. I talk with her after the fight, "I can't ignore you 'cause we live together. I can say, 'Good morning,' 'Good night.' But don't waste your time with me, because I don't want to be your friend." I'm Latina, I'm very passionate.
I can tell. How old is your son?
My son is 15.
Did he watch the entire season?
He watched sometimes, because he have the friends in the school. All the girls watch the school, so when I went to the school one time because he play basketball, the girls say, "Oh my god, you're Caliente!" My son is no like me. He's more shy. He's more intro. But he don't care nothing. He say, "I don't want to see the show." I talked with him before I enter on the show, I say, "Hey, this is tough. I don't want to do nothing that you feel so bad for me, but you can think nothing, because I don't know what the people will see after I leave, because I don't edit the tapes." I told him, "You only think I'm good mom. I do everything for you, so you never listen to people."
Did you have beef with Mz Berry? You called her "grandma" at one point.
I call "grandma," because all the girls call her "grandma." But in the first time, I don't like her. I confront her, because we have some situation in one room the first day. I'm Latina, when I talk maybe if I have some friend, I like touch. And the people say, "Don't touch me," or something like that here. There's more distance. So I was talking and is not for purpose, I touch her arm, but not bad 'cause all of the girls were there, and she say, "Excuse me? Why you touch my arm?" But she told me very bad. And it was in the first five minutes when we enter the home. And I said, "Excuse me, I don't want be rude, but I don't do nothing." And she said, "Yes! Don't touch me!" But she told me so bad. It's not the same Mz Berry that all the people saw. She was so rude with me. Later, I asked her, "Why you acting with me like that?" And she said, "I don't remember!" I don't understand. I'm sorry if I'm Latina and I like touch, but I don't want touch you because I want to hurt your arm or something like that. So I had so distance and I don't care what she say. I'm not stupid. Mz Berry have the same age like me. We have the same age. The girls was more younger. And she knew exactly what she need do for give Ray his attention, and I knew it, too. But after everything, we start talking because we have our life in the same level. Because she have her kids, I have my son. We are cool in this level. And in the end, after the detector liar, she say, "I try for find so many bad stuff about her, and I couldn't. I know that she is very sweet person." And is true. In the end, I don't have nothing for say bad about her. I was in the game, because in the end this was the game. I don't was there for find friends.
Did you go into the show a fan of Ray?
I didn't know who is him exactly. Only I know one song for him. He ask me, "You know who is my sister?" No. I really don't know. I like him, and I like him more after when I enter the show, because he's so funny. He's so nice. I find very nice friend. So, I need talk with Ray, I need him introduce me with his friends.
No homey-smashing!
Because I remember we was in the basketball, I wanted to stay there. (Laughs) But they say, "No, no, no. Be nice, be nice." But Ray send me home, so I don't care. I can say again: I love black mens. (Laughs) Yes.
Tell me about your job as a TV host.
My show is in five countries: it's in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, now in Spain and Mexico, too. I'm still doing. My producer in Argentina, they send the people for the production for live here for three months. We film in two times in the week. When they need more, they come back. I start doing show in Argentina, but he tell me, "I figure the epicenter for the cars is in California, so you can consider moving there." I come here for try, I never going back.
What's the show called?
You gonna laugh, but it's American Dreams. It's about the cars. I know the cars, believe me. I love cars. I go to for like Pebble Beach, you know the auctions? The people can buy the cars for $20 millions. The show has like three parts: the news for the new cars, the American cars and the classic cars. I do interviews with the owners of some cars and they explain what they do, or we try find car with some history. When I move here, I start for filming around my area, so I try to talk about history of the area and they mix this with some classic car I know there.
I never would have pegged you for a gearhead.
I love it. I'm not like a stupid girl talking about the car and I don't know what is Mustang, I don't know what is Stingray 24. I know the history of the cars.
I'm impressed.
Yes, I'm smart. Here is so many pretty girls. I don't have 20 years, so I need be more smart and I need be more showing my personality, because if I don't use this, I'm lost here.

Nikon? Or Canon? Or Nikon? Or Canon? Or Nikon?
When I was visiting my beloved sister, Wetsy, in Austin last month, I wound up staying five days longer than I originally intended. I drove down to Austin like a thief in the night the second she called to tell me she was in labor, and what originally began as a two-day trip quickly turned into a week-plus Austin vacation once I locked eyes with my baby nephew, Elliot, who specifically requested that I extend my stay. How could I say no to that?
Only problem was, I'd left my camera at home with Marlboro Man.
Once I saw all the newborn goings-on and determined I'd be staying in Austin awhile, I observed a moment of silence, then ran to a camera store and plunked my last crumpled, sweaty dollar on the counter. I walked out of the store with a new Canon digital SLR camera. As an Nikon girl, I felt like a wretched traitor.
I had many reasons for choosing the Canon as my "back-up camera"—I'll go into those another time—but overall, I've had fun discovering the similarities and differences between the two models. In some situations, the Nikon is the best man for the job; for others, the Canon seems to do better. And I have to say, between Marlboro Man taking my Nikon with him more and more and my taking so many food photos lately, having a back-up camera hasn't been the worst thing in the world.
As an experiment, I toted both cameras to my Sunday shoot with Cody. I set out to take them same shots with both cameras—same setting, same lighting—and determine, with side-by-side comparisons, where the differences were.
The two photos below were taken with the two different cameras. Without clicking on them, can you tell which is which?
The shot on the top was taken with my Nikon, using a 50 mm 1.4 lens set at f2.8. Shutter speed 1/500. ISO 250.
The shot on the bottom was taken with my Canon, using a 50 mm 1.2 lens set at f2.8. Shutter speed 1/500. ISO 250.
Can you tell a difference?

I'm a Canon girl through and through and I'm guessing the 2nd one is the Canon. ??
jensamom On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:22 am
To my uneducated eye, the Nikon seems brighter,
Amy in Edmond On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:22 am
I could not tell the difference, but I am not that savvy when it comes to photography.
Sarah Schantz On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:22 am
Thanks for the terrific post. I'm trying to decide between a Nikon or a Canon! I'm trying to sort it all out.
Either way – these are great shots!
Cindy On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:23 am
Besides the framing being a bit different that is really the only stand out difference. I am a Canon girl and I somehow knew without reading that the bottom was a Canon.
I had lots of reasons for choosing Canon but the best was it fit in my hand and was comfortable for me to use.
Charles On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:25 am
I did guess that the bottom was Canon and the top Nikon. Though I had a 50/50 chance, I think I can tell the difference. I'm a Canon guy, and I've found that Canon cameras pick up the darker parts of a photo better than any other. The bottom picture seems a little brighter and a little less green. But, I'm an amateur. What do I know.
Hallie On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:26 am
The only differenece I see is that his smile is slightly changed between the two pics – but he still looks amazing!
shannon juarez On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:27 am
I am a nikon user. I did guess the top picture was Nikon. The coloring in the face looks a tad bit better. I would say they are close, very slight difference.
Steph On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:27 am
I am still too much of a beginner to tell the difference. I own a Canon, and have been very happy with it so far!
Michelle On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:28 am
To me, the focus is crisper (all around, not as a result of your focusing) AND the colors are richer in the Canon shot.
By the way, I am Canon-biased.
BOSSY On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:30 am
Bossy *can* tell the difference. And as a Nikon owner, she's a little sick to her stomach.
heidi On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:30 am
I think the tones on the top have more content. The Nikon catches more image than the Canon. That said, there will still be images that will look better with the Canon. And there will always be Photoshop!
Michelle C. On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:30 am
You really went and bought a Canon because you left your Nikon at home??? That's the most awesome thing I've heard today!!!
Kim Wolfe On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:31 am
I'm another Canon girl, and yes, I picked the second photo out right away. It had a familiar feel to it, but I loved both pictures.
Pearl On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:32 am
I couldn't tell which is which, but I could see a definite difference. With the Canon, his face is brighter under his hat, but his chin and nose are washed out. The Nikon is darker, but it also has more depth (not talking depth of field). Also, the Canon seems a little warmer and the Nikon seems cooler. I'm assuming these are SOOC photos?
Gayle On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:32 am
I didn't know which photo was taken with which camera, but I like the top photo best. The bottom one looks a little washed out to me.
Jersey Girl On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:32 am
He looks a bit washed out in the face, to me, in the second, Canon, picture, but that could be slightly different angle.
canadacole On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:33 am
I'm a Canon girl, but I got it backwards when I guessed, so shows what I know–nothing! I know that both Canon and Nikon are great and I can't wait for you to go into further detail. As for the photos above, I like the skin tones better with the Nikon and the eyes better with the Canon. Are these both SOOC?
Miss Britt On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:34 am
The Nikon seems to have an itty bitty teeny tiny bit more depth.
Kate H On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:34 am
Woo, I had it pegged! I own a Nikon and my husband owns a Canon, and the only reason why I went with my Nikon was for the coloring. Nikons give a warmer touch (especially to skin tones) than Canons do. They make for a happier picture!
Bethann On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:34 am
Yes – the difference is there. The Nikon is a better pic, I think. Clearer, cleaner, better detail.
Betsy On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:35 am
I agree with post #16….I like the top photo best…
Ree ~ which is your favorite???
Leigh On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:36 am
I'm a Canon girl, through and through. My first camera was a Canon, and it's just what I've stuck with. Had my very first point and shoot been a Nikon, I probably would have gone with them.
I also have an ancient (read: 1960's) Minolta SLR that was my grandpa's and the first SLR I ever shot with. It still takes fabulous photos.
To be truthful, I couldn't tell the difference, but both photos are gorgeous.
I'm curious though, which Canon DSLR did you buy? I have the Rebel XSI and I looooooooooooove it. Love it. Love it.
Did I mention I love it?
Life on an Island On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:36 am
Could not tell the difference between the two. I guess when buying it would now be the cost?! Anyone having a sale that we know of.?
Lindy On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:37 am
I think the top one is sharper and the colors are a bit more saturated in the top photo. It's difficult to compare really because the photos may have been taken at the same settings but the composition is different- shadows falling in different parts of his face, closer, less of his shirt showing up which will (I think) reflect some light/color onto his face changing it a bit. BUT what the hell do I know I'm not an expert.
BrittanyDian On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:37 am
i love the bottom. more color, lighting looks better. i use a canon digital, and i have a nikon film. i almost went for the nikon digital, but after a few test runs with them both I opted for the canon.
btw………both shots are stunning, and either camera is a great buy. also…………….which canon did you buy? which one makes a big difference in your nikon with mega pixels vs. a canon that isn't top of the line
star8278 On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:37 am
I am a canon girl and guess correctly. There's just always a grayish slight tint to the canon images. Nikon always seems to be brighter and more vibrant in color. But I think the Canon performs better in low light. Most of my old canon digital rebel shots needed contrast adjustment. Thankfully since acquiring my new xti 2 weeks ago I have had to do little to no editing at all to my images.
Alison On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:37 am
The Nikon is sharper with more contrast, the Canon is softer and the light looks more difuse. But I have noticed the same difference in my Nikon and Canon, so maybe I had a little bit of a headstart on what to look for.
Lisa S. On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:38 am
I seem to think the Nikon is a creamier picture. It especially picked up the flesh tones better, and the wood of the barn seems a little deeper.
skwrt On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:39 am
the Nikon shot is more saturated.
Emily On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:39 am
I like the nikon shot a little better…. not 100% sure why, but i do.
Linda On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:39 am
I guessed right! In the bottom picture, there is more of a sparkle in his eye, and the colors are warmer and more intense. Also, it definitely shows more detail in the shadows. But I might be just a little biased towards my beloved Canon…
ivoryhut On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:41 am
I thought the second one was the Canon shot too. Canon seems to be a tad softer, but better at showing what in the shadows. That's why it usually outperforms other cameras in low light. I do prefer the tones of the Nikon though, and I think part of the reason it looks just a hair sharper and clearer is because the darker shadows emulate the effect of slightly higher contrast.
But don't listen to me. I shoot with styrofoam bowls around my lens as a flash diffuser.
country girl in the city On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:41 am
Hard to tell the difference. Do tell…which canon did you end up getting?
Laura On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:41 am
Oh boy…you opened a can of worms now didn't you!?!? But just so you know…I am soooooo glad that you are doing this. I've been having this internal struggle about which camera to buy next. I've been researching and wondering what your thoughts were about them both. It all started with your little rendevous to Austin when you posted that you were shooting with a Canon. My curiousity has been up ever since. I am not biased to either brand…I just want what will work best for me. I guessed right in the above photos…my research is paying off. Since you have experience shooting with both…I look forward to hearing more from you about this!
Camera On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:42 am
Dear PW,
Which Cannon was this?
That goofy girl On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:43 am
Definitly like the 1st photo better – the 2nd seems almost washed out.
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:44 am
I love this.
Obviously both camera are great.
Do you think the smokiness is gone because you are properly exposed?
Cause I am not seeing any smoke.
Brandy On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:44 am
I, personally, can't see a difference in quality at all. Then again, this paragraph:
The shot on the top was taken with my Nikon, using a 50 mm 1.4 lens set at f2.8. Shutter speed 1/500. ISO 250.
The shot on the bottom was taken with my Canon, using a 50 mm 1.2 lens set at f2.8. Shutter speed 1/500. ISO 250.
might have been sanscrit for all I know.
But I'm looking forward to learning!
Amy On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:44 am
The canon is sharper and the color is better/warmer.
DVM's Wife On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:44 am
Yup, I can tell a difference. The Nikon took a better picture. Gave more color to his face.
So what type of Canon did you use? Do tell!
Bridget On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:44 am
I could definitely identify which photo was taken with which camera. I have a Canon, and as someone else said, the second photo looked sort of "familiar."
That being said, I like the Nikon photo better. I think the lighting seems more even, and the photo seem crisper.
Cindy Z On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:45 am
I am very proud of myself I always have used Cannon. I though oh, no what if I pick the Nikon! I liked the Cannon shot better and now I am at peace Actually it is hard to tell a difference, both are wonderful!
Davie On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:47 am
I shoot Canon and could tell the bottom photo had the familiar Canon CCD color.
How did you set the white balance for these shots? I notice the AWB on my camera does a fair job, but there is always a bit of a warm cast which looks similar to the shot here.
I like the contrast and clarity of the Canon, specifically the yummy red hue of the shirt, but I think I prefer the face capture of the Nikon sans the eyes. The eyes in the Canon shot are amazing.
What a great problem to have – two great cameras to pick from!
Lacy On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:47 am
I liked the top one but I'm not sure if it's the framing. Does the top one have more depth and warmth because it's a little closer? As a person who is just learning all this and trying to decide which brand, I would like to know. We all want to know what you think ree.
Patty W On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:47 am
Yes…there is a difference…aside from one being lighter, the top one looks more close up !
Melissa On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:47 am
Nikon is brighter and sharper and now you've just answered my question as to what type of camera I want
Donna On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:48 am
I prefer the Nikon. It's sharper (check out the hat band) and the colors are richer, most obviously in the shirt. Both are great cameras, but in side-by-side comparisons I always prefer Nikon. The images just seem to have a slightly more professional look to them. (I shoot with an Olympus, myself, so I have no owner bias – just a serious case of Nikon envy. lol)
Abbie On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:49 am
They're both lovely shots and neither camera hurts my feelings. That being said, I'm very partial to my Canon Rebel XSi!
Bekah On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:50 am
somehow yes I can tell, Im a canon girl NOW, but was a Nikon girl…I dont have a reason for switching…not a valid one anyway. I cant quite place how I can tell though…
I like the way the canon picked up the shadows on his neck in the second pic…although whether that was the difference in the camera or the difference in the pictures I do not know.
Im rambling again. Ill stop.
Barbara in Texas On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:50 am
I think the shot with the Nikon is sharper. However, with your photographic finesse – both are good shots.
j.shaver On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:53 am
i guessed the second was the canon because of the lighting on his face. thats the difference i have noticed between canon and nikon–shooting in low lighting with a canon won't leave as many shadows. the preference is up to what kind of photo you want. i know i never ever use a flash with my canon cuz the photo will ALWAYS be over-exposed. i just adjust the settings instead.
Jessica On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:53 am
I think the coloring is just a little bit different. At first glance I preffered the bottom photo. When I saw that it was the Canon I went PHEW! Because I shoot with a Canon
That being said I like the face coloring better in the top picture and the eye coloring better in the bottom picture.
trinna Adams On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:53 am
Go NIkon!
Anne in Wisconsin On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:55 am
The Nikon shot is warmer but I don't know if it's because of the camera, the setting or even if the natural light might have changed a skosh. I love your blog but I still feel to dumb to go from my CANON point-&-shoot to an SLR. But maybe I'll learn enough if I keep reading you.
Gillian On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:55 am
The Canon shot is sharper. The top photo looks slightly soft to me.
Anna On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:56 am
I am a Canon girl. I could tell which was which and the coloring was part of the reason, the eyes were the other.
The way it was explained to me was this: Overall Nikon's are better at portraits and Canon's are better at action.
That shows here in his eyes specifically. I like the color a bit better on his skin tone with the Nikon, but the Canon, in my humble opinion catches his eyes better… where they moving? Probably slightly as all eyes do.
Anyways, I have always used a Canon because I mainly take pictures of my kids and animals and guess what? They are ALWAYS moving! The slightly warmer tones to skin, I can always just touch up a bit if I want to.
Ginger On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:57 am
I am trying to figure out what camera to buy and so help me guys.
Pam On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:57 am
I have to agree that the Canon photo looks a little washed out in his face. It may have been trying to lighten up the background to the point where it over-compensated on his face. Hmmmm. I think I am glad I chose Nikon, but of course, they quit making the one I have, the D40x.
Rhonda from Minnesota On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:57 am
I now the head may have moved, but I think the face on the bottom one (cannon) is not as dark. The ear is even more 'crisp' ? I don't know what I am saying……They both are good.
Kelly Garasha On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:58 am
I want a Canon. But they look about the same to me. And I am really looking.
Kelly On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:58 am
Yes and the Canon looks better….brighter…..clearer. Oh….BTW….I'm a Nikon user.
Barb T. On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:59 am
I couldn't tell which was which until I read what you posted;
they both are wonderful shots of such a nice- looking young man. This Canon vs. Nikon rivalry is ridiculous, and, by the way, I own a Digital Rebel.
Ann from Montana On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:59 am
I guessed wrong….
You are going to tell us which Canon???
I was all set to buy the 40D and an L series lens (still trying to pick which one…) then the 50D was announced and now trying to decide should I go for the L lens and the Rebel body "now"… work up to the 50D.
I'm currently shooting with a Canon S3 Powershot – and have been shooting manual, A-Priority or S-Priority for several months and REALLY, REALLY ready to try my hand with an SLR!
Kelly On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:59 am
I take that back………the Nikon one looks better.
lauradodson On Tuesday, September 9 at 8:59 am
Huh. I can tell the difference. Imagine that. The top Nikon shot seems to have richer color. The red of his shirt is more vibrant in the top and his skin doesn't appear as blue? I could be wrong. But I think I like the top shot better. Good gravy. This is taxing work.
Barb On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:00 am
Oooooh, you plunked down a pretty penny for that backup, didn't you? I caught it that you got the 50mm 1.2 lens. Nice. Wish I had that one, but it's too "spensive" for me right now. So which Canon did you get?
Crystal On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:00 am
Okay…I'm a Canon owner and I couldn't tell which was which…I won't lie and say I could! Lol! The two things I noticed is I think Cody's skin looks better in the Nikon shot, better color but is less in foucs. I think the Canon shot is more in foucs/sharper, but his face is a lil washed out! I love that you have both camera's now because it's very interesting to see how they're different and how they are the same! There is no law that once you use one brand, you can never use another. That's just CRAZY talk! Ugh! Lol! Thanks for the post Ree…you ROCK!
Janna On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:01 am
i'd say the nikon
Jess On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:01 am
The top photo seems a bit sharper and richer, but maybe I'm forcing myself to see it that way because I'm a Nikon girl at heart.
Mel On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:03 am
Well I picked right. But to say one is better over the other, just wouldn't be fair.
I own a Canon XTi. The bottom picture showed more of the shaded area and I knew from reading up so much, that the pic had Canon all over it.
The ONLY difference was the coloring of the hat (better in Canon pic) and the red was deeper as well.
I would LOVE if you took more comparison shots like that!!
Barb T. On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:03 am
To Ginger, no. 57 post, I am absolutely no professional or expert. Just do what I did and has been suggested by so many users, Canon, Nikon, etc. Go to your nearest photography store and feel and hold the cameras. Test them out and make your decision based on that and what feels right for you. As you can see, the difference between the 2 photos is minimal at best. Don't be swayed by so and so shoots with a Nikon or a Canon; do what is best for you!
Kim On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:04 am
I'm a Canon girl….mostly because I like the way it fit my hand better than the Nikon. But when it comes to these two photos, I like the coloring in the Canon shot better. Just seems more crisp.
Jessica On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:06 am
I like the Canon better (and am also a Canon owner). It wasn't easily but after I stared at the pictures for what felt like eternity, I realized that the Nikon shot is a little greener, while the Canon is pinker and looks more alive. Both are great shots though!
Thank you for this!!
Twyla On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:07 am
The Nikon is brighter, but the Canon is softer and captures more of the subject. The Nikon has way too much shadow.
tina On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:08 am
The Canon shot looks softer, the Nikon is a bit sharper and brighter. You should do this again, but indoors.
ORKMommy On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:10 am
The Canon is much sharper and crisper. I wouldn't mess much with the Canon shot, but I would definitely have to sharpen up the Nikon shot.
Thanks for the comparison! I'd like to see more as I'm contemplating a new camera. If the Canon is always this much better, I may have to go with that one!
p.s. Which model of each are you using?
Nicole Mc On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:11 am
Do some more, with more background. I love this! Which Canon model did you get? 50 1.2, i'm jealous!!!
Windy On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:11 am
I know NOTHING about photography (and always cut the top of people's heads off), but I like the top picture better.
Monica Ingle On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:12 am
iI'm a dodo I could not tell a difference really.I wish I could though! Anywho the pics are wonderful Ree!
Mamadallama On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:12 am
OMIGOSH! I can't tell any difference except, of course, the poses. Then I read the comments and I keep looking back to see if I can see what people are talking about and I CAN'T! This is driving me crazy! I give up!

I shoot with Cannon so of course I have a biased opinion, however, I would like to see an outdoor shot with both. This shot is gorgeous, but has limited lighting. It is unfair to the cannon that you had Cody move his head a little, causing a sun spot on his nose.
Let's see how well Cannon and Nikon face off in the open sky, with horses, cattle or multiple humans. THEN, I will give a more unbiased opinion… maybe.
Addie On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:12 am
I think the Nikon has a slightly better (more natural) color, but the Canon has a bit more detail/sharpness…. both are good, but since Im a Canon girl, I think thats what Ill stay with
Sue On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:13 am
my answer is "no" ~ the only difference to me was the framing (amount of shoulder showing) which made for more light definitions on Codys' left side under his hat ~ I could see more of the side of his face.
Nice job you done did too.
Christina On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:15 am
But but but…you shot the Nikon with a 1.4 and the Canon with a 1.2….not really apples to apples…
But as a Nikon girl (by default..that's the camera I bought when I knew nothing) I picked out the Nikon pic. But I had good odds
Christopher Vaughn On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:18 am
Interesting blog, Nikon vs. Canon = Ford vs. Chevy. I've wrestled with the topic for years as well. They are both amazing cameras, both with unique characteristics. The second photo to me looks slightly more crisp and better color. Although, with this being said, the software used can really determine what a shot looks like straight from the camera, depending on the camera used. For instance, if you use CaptureNX with a Canon it wont give you the most accurate version, where as a Nikon with Capture NX will be the most accurate then if used with Aperture or Lightroom X. Although, Adobe Lab did just release camera specific camera profiles for Lightroom 2 that really take a bit out of this issue. So, this is a tough one for a Nikon shooter who likes the Canon shot!
Crystal On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:19 am
So we are all dying to see which Canon you bought. I have a XSI and ready to upgrade. But I just bought 2 new lenses 50mm f/1.2 & 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 super telephoto which was a pretty penny, so it'll be a while. Wish I had the money to just drop in and buy a backup or upgrade! Lol! Do tell???????
andrea On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:19 am
I'm a Nikon woman, because that's what I got instead of a Canon! I swear I feel like an outcast though…..nothing ticks me off more than going to soccer and all the other moms(not kidding here, my neighborhood seems to be having an explosion of amateur photography buffs…..classes, clubs, businesses popping up…it's weird) are pulling their Canon's out and looking down on my Nikon…..whatever! What they don't know…..I think the colors are so much better in the Nikon shot. All of your pictures of this young man are looking great.
Rhonda in Oklahoma On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:19 am
This is really interesting. The Nikon photo seemed to have more depth and clarity, while the Canon seemed to have a "softer" quality about it. Very interesting!
Leesa On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:23 am
I prefer the second shot, the coloring is better. In the first shot the shadows are too harsh.
I picked right, Canon makes more appealing pictures to me personally. Warmer, better exposed, etc.
But to really have a fair compairison you need to take pictures of something with both cameras under identical conditions not just similar shots. IMO
Gina On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:24 am
I could tell the second was Canon, but I have no idea why. Maybe because I shoot with Canon and it was a "familiar" look. As if that makes sense.
Erica On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:26 am
I'm a Canon girl and I instinctively knew that the bottom was Canon. Is that weird?
I'm not sure I can pinpoint the exact difference, but there certainly is one. I'm sure a trained eye could tell you exactly what the difference is.
I assume you edited these photos? What about posting pictures taken by both cameras, unedited? And another thing that would be helpful to people trying to choose would be to show pictures taken in the "auto" setting since that's what most people are going to use most of the time.
evie On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:27 am
There are good things about both images. The color in the first is great but I think the second is the best overall. The first one seems to be too contrasty for me.
Amanda On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:28 am
I could tell right off the 2nd one was Canon. His shirt was brighter. That's the same difference between DH's Canon and my Fuji.
mrsluukkonen On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:28 am
I think the coloring in his face looks a tad bit better in the Nikon photo, but I could be imagining that due to my intense love for Nikons!
corrie On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:29 am
Uhmmmmmm ….. no.
rabidparadise On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:31 am
I'm pretty sure you could use a $7 disposable camera & still put most of us to shame. But, the Canon does look a tad (teeny, tiney iddy, biddy) bit sharper. Sorry.
Jes On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:31 am
Add me to the list of converts. My whole family uses Canons. But that Nikon picture is so much better. The Canon looks washed out. Guess I'll have to research cameras again.
Nicki On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:31 am
I guessed right, also.
I'm a Canon girl and I'm always a little envious of Nikon owners. It just seems to me that the focus is a bit sharper and the colors are a little more vibrant with Nikons. It's not a huge difference but I think that there is a difference.
But, what do I know?
Lisa On Tuesday, September 9 at 9:31 am
Yep, immediately. I knew which one was the Canon because it quite simply produces a better picture.
No, I don't work for Canon.

Sit-N-Go: Amit amak316 Makhija
It feels like Amit "amak316" Makhija has been on the poker scene for ages, but in reality, the Wisconsin native is only 25 years old. One of the flagship members of the DoylesRoom Brunson 10, Makhija first came to prominence on the live circuit during the summer of 2008. He made a splash at the televised final table of the WSOP $10,000 Pot Limit Hold'em World Championship and followed it up with a runner-up finish at the WPT Legends of Poker event at the Bike.
We caught up with Makhija during this year's Legends of Poker event to talk about how things have changed since his first WPT final table and get the inside scoop on the inner workings of the prestigious Brunson 10 squad.
It is hard to believe it has been two years since you had your televised WSOP final table and finished second to John Phan in the WPT Legends of Poker Main Event. Is it fair to say you are part of the online poker old guard?
That sounds fair, oddly enough. I guess I'm one of the guys who has been around the live scene a little longer. It's been way too long since I've been to one of [the WPT] final tables though.
It seems like when you play online you're pretty focused on the cash games. Do you grind MTTs all that often anymore?
I hardly play any MTTs at all anymore. I play mostly cash games. Occasionally I'll jump into a couple of big Sunday tournaments, but I don't really enjoy them as much as I used to I guess.
People who follow you on Twitter might know that you put in a fair amount of time at the DoylesRoom cash game tables. How do you decide when it is a good time to put in a cash session?
When I am going to put in a cash game session, it is usually when I know I have some time and when there aren't bigger games running at Commerce. I decide when I'm going to quit based on my mood and how I'm feeling or how I'm running. I don't like sitting around playing if I'm stuck. I'll play pretty quick if I'm losing, but if I'm winning I'll play some pretty long sessions and just kind of play it by ear.
When you aren't playing cash games, we've heard through the grapevine that you spend quite a bit of time at the gym. Are you a gym addict?
I wouldn't say I'm an addict. I would say I don't go enough. I try to go four or five times a week for an hour and a half each time. I don't have a real job, which means I have a lot of free time on my hands.
Would you say regular trips to the gym and aspiring to live a healthy lifestyle has had a positive effect on your poker?
Yeah, it definitely does. I just feel a lot better when I work out before I play. My mindset is in a much better place. It helps your overall life and improves your quality of life as well.
You may not play a ton of MTTs anymore, but you still travel the tournament circuit a lot. How do you maintain that lifestyle on the road?
I don't necessarily work out every day. I also don't know if it is worth it to work out while you're playing something like a WPT. Like yesterday for example, we played a really long day and I was really tired and it didn't seem like a good idea to get up two hours early to try and get a workout in.
The Brunson 10 is nearing completion. Liking the way the team is shaping up?
Yeah, it is filling out nicely. Several of us did well in this event, you've got me and (David) Doc Sands and only four of us played. It is a good showing for us.
Since the team's been pieced together over the course of a year, has there been many times when they've gotten you all in a room together?
Yeah, there have definitely been a few times. We had a party at Blush this summer and we all hang out a fair amount.
It seems like a lot of you guys were friends before you were teammates. Is that a coincidence or do you have some input into which players are chosen for the squad?
It is somewhat of a coincidence, but they always ask us our opinions on people before they add them. Obviously if they're our friends and we know they're good players, we'll say so. We're obviously not going to lobby for our friends to be on the team just because they are our friends though. It has worked out that we were already friends and we've still found some of the best young players out there.
The Brunson 10 guys seem to just about taken care of, but there are supposedly two spots set aside for female players. Any suggestions on which ladies you would like to see join the team?
I'm not really sure. I honestly can't even think of that many girls who would fit the role of 25 and under that are good [and unsponsored]. I know Lauren Kling is very good and she is young. She would fit the bill pretty well. I don't really know what they're doing with that and who their candidates are honestly since there are so few girls out there who fit the bill and don't have deals already.
You seem to avoid the drama and intense emotion that sometimes crop up in the game of poker. Have you always been a level-headed guy or is it something that developed with age?
I think it is just part of my personality. I'm pretty laid back and try to take things as they come. It's not really as stressful for me as it is for some other people. I just try to stay positive and hope things work out.

Polish researchers have made a startling suggestion (from a Jan. 23, 2014 news item on Nanowerk),
In common perception, carbon dioxide is just a greenhouse gas, one of the major environmental problems of mankind. For Warsaw chemists CO2 became, however, something else: a key element of reactions allowing for creation of nanomaterials with unprecedented properties.
In reaction with carbon dioxide, appropriately designed chemicals allowed researchers from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC PAS) in Warsaw and the Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology, (WUT) for production of unprecedented nanomaterials.
Here's an image the researchers use to illustrate their work,
The Jan. 23, 2014 IPC news release, which originated the news item, describes the work in more detail,
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a natural component of Earth's atmosphere. It is the most abundant carbon-based building block, and is involved in the synthesis of glucose, an energy carrier and building unit of paramount importance for living organisms.
"Carbon dioxide has been for years used in industrial synthesis of polymers. On the other hand, there has been very few research papers reporting fabrication of inorganic functional materials using CO2", says Kamil Sokołowski, a doctoral student in IPC PAS.
Prof. Lewiński's [Janusz Lewiński (IPC PAS, WUT)] group has shown that appropriately designed precursor compounds in reaction with carbon dioxide lead to fabrication of a microporous material (with pore diameters below 2 nm) resulting from self-assembly of luminescent nanoclusters. Novel microporous material, composed of building blocks with zinc carbonate core encapsulated in appropriately designed organic shell (hydroxyquinoline ligands), is highly luminescent, with photoluminescence quantum yield significantly higher than those of classical fluorescent compounds used in state-of-the-art OLEDs.
"Using carbon dioxide as a building block we were able to construct a highly porous and really highly luminescent material. Can it be used for construction of luminescent diodes or sensing devices? The discovery is new, the research work on the novel material is in progress, but we are deeply convinced that the answer is: yes", says Sokołowski.
Already now it can be said that the novel material enjoys considerable interest. Polish and international patent applications were filed for the invention and the implementation work in cooperation with a joint venture company is in progress.
The design of precursors was inspired by nature, in particular by the binding of carbon dioxide in enzymatic systems of carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme responsible for fast metabolism of CO2 in human body. Effective enzyme activity is based on its active centre, where a hydroxyzinc (ZnOH) type reaction system is located.
"A hydroxyzinc reaction system occurs also in molecules of alkylzinc compounds, designed by us and used for fixation of carbon dioxide", explains Sokołowski and continues: "These compounds are of particular interest for us, because in addition to hydroxyl group they contain also a reactive metal-carbon bond. It means that both the first and the second reaction system can participate in consecutive chemical transformations of such precursors".
The research related to the chemistry of alkylhydroxyzinc compounds has an over 150 years of history and its roots are directly connected to the birth of organometallic chemistry. It was, however, only in 2011 and 2012 when Prof. Lewiński's group has presented the first examples of stable alkylhydroxyzinc compounds obtained as a result of rationally designed synthesis.
The strategy for materials synthesis using carbon dioxide and appropriate alkylhydroxyzinc precursors, discovered by the researchers from Warsaw, seems to be a versatile tool for production of various functional materials. Depending on the composition of the reagents and the process conditions, a mesoporous material (with pore diameter from 2 to 50 nm) composed of zinc carbonate nanoparticles or multinuclear zinc nanocapsules for prospective applications in supramolecular chemistry can be obtained in addition to the material described above.
Further research of Prof. Lewiński's group has shown that the mesoporous materials based on ZnCO3-nanoparticles can be transformed into zinc oxide (ZnO) aerogels. Mesoporous materials made of ZnO nanoparticles with extended surface can be used as catalytic fillings, allowing for and accelerating reactions of various gaseous reagents. Other potential applications are related to semiconducting properties of zinc oxide. That's why the novel materials can be used in future in photovoltaic cells or as a major component of semiconductor sensing devices.
Good luck to the researchers as they find ways to turn a greenhouse gas into something useful.

The Lawrence-Scioto Solid Waste Management District is set to host its Seventh Annual Pharmaceutical Collection Event in cooperation with Southern Ohio Medical Center and the Scioto County Sheriff's Office.
The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, April 26 at the Scioto County Jail at 1025 16th Street, Portsmouth.
According to Dan Palmer, Director of the LSSWMD, in 2012, 85 pounds of pharmaceuticals were collected.
"He said this program is being offered to Scioto County residents free of charge to allow them the opportunity to properly dispose of unused, unwanted and expired drugs.
Palmer said, the age-old advice of flushing pharmaceuticals down the toilet is now considered to be the least desirable of all alternatives.
According to released information about the event, a recent study conducted by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission detected low concentrations of dozens of chemicals and pharmaceuticals in the Ohio River upstream and downstream from Louisville, Ky. Among the substances found were antidepressants, veterinary hormones and cocaine.
Pharmaceuticals being collected during the event include prescription and over the counter medications. No liquid medications will be accepted.
Other items accepted include intra-venous solutions, injectable and sharps. Controlled substances will be accepted.
According to event materials, controlled substances are defined as any drug or chemical that is regulated by the federal government and can be obtained legally only with a valid prescription.
Substances such as marijuana or methamphetamines will not be accepted.
Law enforcement will be available during the event for security and medical professionals will be on hand for prescription identification.
According to Palmer, all of the drugs collected during the event will be incinerated.
For more information call the LSSWMD at 740-532-1231.
