Don't have a pet? Get the benefits anyhow.
Not everyone is lucky enough to have a full-time furry friend. Allergies, apartment rules and a shortage of free time help explain why 40% of American households don't include a pet.
But even the mere presence of animals, without direct interaction, can be calming, says Alan Beck, director of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at Purdue University. "These activities are a way of enjoying some of the positive feelings we have toward nature and animals without actually having direct animal ownership." Here are some ideas:

Watch a Lassie movie and spit into a cup. It doesn't sound like it, but this is cutting-edge research. By analyzing saliva, researcher Cheryl Krause-Parello can tell that merely watching a dog in a movie lowers people's stress.
In recent years, research has demonstrated the healthful benefits of pets. Now, investigators are trying to figure out why pets are good for us. Krause-Parello, assistant professor and director of the Center for Nursing Research at Kean University in Union, N.J., learned that people feel better after watching a Lassie flick because their levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, take a free fall.
"We once had to argue why this was a valid focus to conduct research," says Alan Beck, director of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., a pioneer in the field. "Today, the National Institutes of Health and science in general recognize the overall value of pets.
"What we're embarking on now is to better understand why animals have such an intrinsic value and how to use this relationship in relation to children and our aging population."
In 2002, Beck solved a problem common among those who have Alzheimer's: a loss of interest in eating. After bowls of goldfish were placed in nursing-facility dining rooms, most patients experienced an appetite increase and subsequent weight gain.
Nursing facilities also made lighting more naturalistic and screened classic movies, but only the goldfish triggered an appetite increase. How could watching goldfish stimulate appetites of people who often couldn't even describe what they were seeing? The answer has become Beck's goal: Discover what lies at the heart of the human-animal bond and how to harness it to improve lives.
In her book For the Love of a Dog, Patricia McConnell, a certified applied animal behaviorist, writes that levels of oxytocin, a mood-affecting neurotransmitter and "feel-good" hormone in the brain, increase by merely petting a dog.
Undoubtedly true, says Marc Bekoff, an ethologist at the University of Colorado and author of The Animal Manifesto. "At the very core of who we are, I believe we all relate to nature and the animal world. I believe animals provide a primitive comfort."
The real question, he says, is: Why?
Results of a decade-long study suggest cats may have special health-sustaining qualities, which is probably no big surprise to Americans, who own more cats than dogs. For 10 years, Adnan Qureshi, professor of neurosurgery and neurology at the University of Minnesota, followed 4,500 people and in 2008 announced his study's intriguing conclusions: Those who owned a cat were 40% less likely to die from heart attacks than those who had no feline in their lives. Owning a dog did not appear to convey the same protection. That statistical result is so far unexplained, Qureshi says. Other factors may contribute to the difference.
Several studies have shown that dogs encourage people to exercise (that's good for the heart, of course), but cats have at least one talent no dog has: They purr. Why they purr isn't completely understood; cats purr when they're content, but they also purr as a way to soothe themselves, to relax kittens and probably to lower their own anxiety when they're sick or under stress.
Could it be that their purring is also soothing to people in ways we don't understand? Qureshi thinks so and is about to study the phenomenon. But measuring purring's importance is challenging. "Is it the purring that matters," he wonders, "or the mere presence of the cat, petting the cat or a combination?"
The Lassie lifeline
The bond between human and animal can benefit children, even change their lives.
"Horses saved my life," says Marie McCabe, senior vice president of the Human-Animal Bond Division at the American Humane Association. Knowing and caring for horses changed her, she says, and carried her through a "bumpy" childhood. "Without horses, my life would have gone another way," she says.
Such anecdotes have abounded for years, but now there's science behind them. In 2003, Barbara McClasky, a nursing professor at Pittsburg State University in Kansas, studied children 7 to 14 years old. If they lived with a pet — any pet — their self-concept and competence increased, she found.
"I'm not suggesting that living with a lizard or bird really matters," McClasky says, as there weren't enough exotic pets for statistical significance in the study. "But clearly, cats were as beneficial as dogs."
For children (also 7 to 14 years old) who had serious chronic or even life-threatening illnesses, pets were even more important, McClasky says, "I suspect because those sick children required the comfort and non-judgmental friend even more."
Such study results are changing how some services are delivered. One example is the American Humane Association's newly launched Therapy Animals Supporting Kids (TASK) program.
"Children who have been abused must undergo a forensic interview and physical exam at a child advocacy center — it's pretty scary stuff," McCabe says. The trained therapy dogs TASK uses in the program "are able to truly provide comfort to these children," she says. "But I bet more is going on — something physiological."
In any case, she says, "the program is working."
Says Krause-Parello: "We know the dogs can help, but what's really going on? Resolving that mystery is the next piece of the puzzle."
At the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., oncologist Edward Creagan has devised a method to persuade the computer system to let him "prescribe" a pet.
"A pet is a medication without side effects that has so many benefits," Creagan says. "I can't always explain it myself, but for years now I've seen how instances of having a pet is like an effective drug. It really does help people."

5 great winter sun escapes
The season of mists and mellow fruitfulness is upon us, but if you dream of warmer climes, plot your escape now.
1. Bali, Indonesia
Tropical paradise Bali has long been a must-do destination for seekers of sun-drenched sand and scenery. The island's lush green rice paddies, volcanic peaks and tranquil temples were the setting for Julia Roberts' quest for spiritual sanctuary in 2010 Hollywood flick Eat, Pray, Love. The film did wonders for tourism to the island, but it needs no promotion if you're looking for self-discovery, healing, or just an exotic winter getaway.
2. Goa, India
The other Sunshine 'State', gorgeous Goa is a banker for off-season sun. Winter may be the 'cool' season in Goa, but it's the best time to visit. If you prefer it really hot and steamy, wait until spring or summer, but from November to February the weather is just right: simply dry, sunny and hot. Perfect for doing not much at all but whiling away your days with a book on the beach with a cool beer, working up your appetite for a mind-blowing fresh fish curry for dinner.
3. Abu Dhabi
If you're not one for long plane journeys, consider a mid-haul holiday to the Middle East. If Dubai is just too flash and brash for you, ponder up-and-coming Abu Dhabi. Alright, it's pretty flash and brash itself, but if lying by the pool gets tiresome, you can take the credit card out to play – shopping is something of a national pastime – and get your thrills at Ferrari World, home to the fastest rollercoaster in the world.
4. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur, or KL, as it is affectionately abbreviated to, has been described as 'Asia in a nutshell'. The Malaysian capital has a diverse heritage and unique culture, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences in the mix, resulting in an exciting melting pot of religions and varied cuisines, with a flourishing arts scene. It also boasts the none-too-small claim to fame of being one of the world's best value destinations.
5. Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is fast emerging as a great value holiday destination thanks to its magical mix of cultural treasures, inspiring landscapes and wonderful wildlife. Visit tea plantations and temples, go on an elephant-back safari, head off on a jungle trek, look for leopards in Yala National Park and take a whale-watching trip offshore. It's just as well there's an abundant supply of palm-fringed tropical beaches to ensure you return home suitably relaxed.

Don Rinner is shown Wednesday at the Iowa Artisans Gallery. Rinner is retiring Sunday after more than 30 years. / Benjamin Roberts / Iowa City Press-Citizen
Don Rinner
What: Owner of DJ Rinner Goldsmith.
Age: 64.
Family: Wife, two children.
Education: Iowa State University, Bachelor of Arts in anthropology, minors in sociology and psychology.
After more than 30 years in the jewelry business, Don Rinner is hanging up his hat.
Sort of, anyway.
The owner of DJ Rinner Goldsmith and co-founder of the Iowa Artisans Gallery in Iowa City will close his part of the retail business and retire Sunday.
But for Rinner, 64, retirement is more of a formality because the self-taught jeweler plans to continue prospecting for, mining and cutting rough gem materials.
I imagine Ill be doing this until I drop, he said. But I want to do it at my own pace and focus on the things I really want to do.
And like many looking forward to retirement, Rinner said he plans to travel and spend time with his family. He said he plans to spend about two-thirds of his time in Iowa City and split the rest between his second home near Boulder, Colo. which is near where his daughter and grandson live and the southwestern United States, an area of the country known for gemstone mining.
Rinner will maintain partial ownership of the Artisans Gallery and a selection of his jewelry along with pieces made by members of his staff, including Bethany Young and Louise Rauh will be available in the store and on his personal website, www.djrinner.com.
Rinner who describes himself as a lifelong rock hound always has been interested in rocks and gems, but his interest in jewelry making started in a high school art class.
Although it always had been more of a hobby, Rinner decided to pursue jewelry making full time after graduating from Iowa State University in 1970 with a degree in anthropology and spending four years working a series of jobs for the state of Iowa.
Through reading, practicing and working with other jewelers over the years, Rinner taught himself the tricks of the trade. He developed a specialty in mounting natural-colored gemstones and stones in 14k gold.
I tend to do pretty clean lines, functional pieces, he said. I try to make pieces that people can wear and enjoy every day.
In 1984, Rinner helped found the Iowa Artisans Gallery and opened DJ Rinner Goldsmith within its walls in 1990.
Iowa Artisans Gallery co-owner Astrid Bennett said the partnership with DJ Rinner Goldsmith allowed the gallery to rent larger spaces in more accessible parts of the community.
By working together we were able to make things work for both businesses, she said. ... Its been a good, collaborative partnership over the years.
Looking back on his career, Rinner said the relationships hes been able to build in the community are what stand out.
For me, and for most people, jewelry is a very personal thing, he said. It has a lot of emotional meaning, and Ive tried to respond to that with people.
Rinner has hand selected thousands of gemstones and natural rocks for his jewelry, and he prides himself on the quality of his expansive collection.
I have a lot of varieties that you cant really find anywhere else, he said.
His personal selection of rough stones also has grown over the years, and he said he looks forward to having more time to work with them post-retirement.
Ive been so busy making mountings and stone settings that Ive had very little time for stone cutting, and I really love doing that, he said.
The Iowa Artisans Gallery will use Rinners retirement as an opportunity to remodel its space and expand into the 1,000 square feet DJ Rinner Goldsmith occupies. The gallery will close at the end of the day Sunday and is scheduled to reopen the week of Jan. 21.
We have this chance to rethink the whole stores layout, so thats what were doing, Bennett said. Along with replacing the carpet and painting the walls, Bennett said over the next several months the gallery plans to create more unified displays and expand their inventory to include more furniture and home decor.
In preparation for retirement, all of Rinners pieces are at least 25 percent off through the end of the day Sunday.

Me and my husband are planning on putting our house on the market within the next couple of months. However, we are unsure we would be able to get a new mortgage with the current financial climate. Ive heard a lot about people having a hard time getting mortgages with good credit and even with a 20% down payment. Is this still the case? Anyone here recently get a mortgage? How was your experience?
My husband has a solid work history and excellent credit, but we will not have a 20% down payment. We dont want to sell our house and end up with no mortgage to purchase a new house with. I'd appreciate any input on this issue. Thank you.

instead of having the containment of the draggable element around it, how can I have it inside it? So you can drag the element anywhere as long as the edges of it do not collide with the element inside of it?
One approach is to use the
Here is a jsfiddle to illustrate the concept, although this doesn't fully implement what you describe.
You could fake it by making a real containing component that restricts your draggable element as if it is constrained by the smaller element. You would just have to make the dimensions of the real container like this:
Then, you would also need to counter the dragging motion so that the contained restriction element doesn't seem to move when the draggable element moves. Either that or the immobile section could be a floating div.
Building upon @RustyTheBoyRobot's answer you could also accomplish in CSS alone if you have known dimensions of your draggable.
Live Example - jsbin.com/agovex
The obvious downside of this is if you want to reuse this in multiple situations it's not going to work because the values are hardcoded in CSS. But if you only need it for one thing with known dimensions I find the CSS only approach simple and elegant. There's only one line of JavaScript to create the draggable.
If anyone else is interested in this, using Rusty's code and logic here's a JSfiddle link.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The secretary of state's office is warning businesses about letters asking for money to file their annual reports.
The notices are from an entity called Corporate Records Service and began arriving in mailboxes last week.
The mailer looks like an official document and requests a $125 fee to file corporation annual reports.
According to a news release from the secretary of state, the mailers are causing confusion because Tennessee corporations are required to file annual reports with the secretary of state, and most corporations recently received annual report notices.
The standard fee to file the reports in Tennessee is only $20.
Secretary of State Tre Hargett urged Tennessee businesses to use caution before providing confidential information or credit card information to this company or any similar company.

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
"Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the LORD delivers him" Psalm 41:1,
As we all know, the end of three decades long war in Sri Lanka is over but the misery out of the war has left thousands wounded and many families bereaved of their kith and kin. The challenge remain as large populations of severely traumatized people require psychosocial support. Several hundred war widows and orphaned children struggle to attain the necessary day-to-day support. There are many who lost limbs to landmines as well as women who witnessed the death of husbands during the last days of the war. Many avenues seem to have been closed to the war affected people in Srilanka.
In this hour of crisis, Jesus Redeems feels that extending a hand of succor to the displaced community in Sri Lanka is a prime duty. With this in mind , and the Lord filled me with the Holy Spirit to help these people, we decided to start a mission in Srilanka with the name "Vanni Blessing Mission", in the war struck Kilinochchi and Mullaitheevu areas. Our Mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to lead them to salvation. To begin in full swing, I appeal you to join hand with us in fulfilling the Gods vision.
"Carry each other's burdens , and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ- Gal 6:2",
As Christmas approaches, we remember those who are hungry. We are aware that, in these difficult times, people in the war affected area of Sri Lanka may be struggling to get enough together. Let us make the people understand the love of Christ. So this year, more than ever, we are asking you to donate so that we can buy the below said items to them , as a Christmas gift and light up a life. We ask you to consider prayerfully , if you would be able to give this Christmas.
So, dear brothers and sisters with a burdened heart I submit this appeal. Let us join hands and spread the fragrance of Christ amidst these broken souls.
A complete survey of the needs of these people were taken and hence decided that the beneficiaries require the undermentioned package . Disabled due to war would be given first preference. The cost that would incur for a family is Rs.3000 INR. 1000 families have been selected and hence the total cost would be Rs. 30 lakhs INR.
So, dear brothers and sisters with a burdened heart I submit this appeal. Let us join hands and spread the fragrance of Christ amidst these broken souls.
Contents of the gift package:
KIBS Lungi - 1 (Male)
Nighty - 1 (Female)
T_shirts - Male and children ( S, M,L,XL)
Blanket - 1
Towel - 1
Contents of the gift package:

LAS CRUCES -- Taylor Hardardt, fiancée of world boxing champion Austin "No Doubt" Trout, today will appear on an episode of the reality show "Say Yes to the Dress" on TLC -- The Learning Channel.
In the episode titled "His Opinion," Hardardt will search for a wedding dress at New York's famous Kleinfeld Bridal salon with Trout, who makes frequent visits to New York City because of his boxing.
Hardardt, the coordinating assistant for No Doubt entertainment, and Trout became engaged on June 27, 2011. Exhausting all of the area boutiques in search of the ideal gown, Hardardt began to expand her search outside the Southwest.
On a visit to New York City, Hardardt said, she stopped at Kleinfeld Bridal salon in hope of booking an appointment with one of the consultants. She said she is an avid viewer of the program.
"They were too busy. I thought maybe if they see that Austin is coming with me, they can get me in," Hardardt said.
Knowing Trout would be back in New York in about a month later for promotions and fights, Hardardt began the application process in hope of getting into the high-fashion bridal salon. She said the paperwork became voluminous once the producer saw she would be going with the famous boxer -- they wanted her on the show. Trout is the WBA light middleweight champion.
At first, Hardardt said, she had mixed feelings about being followed around by a cameraman.
"The attention is normal, but it's always on Austin. So, this time, they cared about me more than anybody else, so it was pressure.
After the initial anxiety, the bride-to-be prepped for the limelight during a trip in February to the bridal salon.
"It was definitely a fun experience. It was like every little girl's dream to go into this magnificent bridal shop," Hardardt said. "I thought it was very accurate to what my experience was trying on dresses in other boutiques. My consultant wasn't trying to put on a show. She took her expertise and did exactly what she was supposed to do.
For the consultation, Hardardt was allowed to take a maximum of five people -- Trout, her mother, his cousin and grandparents to help gather opinions.
Pleased with the selection the consultant chose, Hardardt said she and Trout had gone in with completely different dress ideas. By the end of the appointment, they were in agreement.
As far as saying "yes" to a dress, Hardardt kept that secret.
"No, I wouldn't dare tell you that, or else nobody would watch it," she said.
Hardardt said that she and the maid of honor will fly to New York City in December for a fitting.
Trout and Hardardt are set to marry at the Grace Gardens in El Paso in April. The TV crew will be at her wedding to document the event for a follow-up episode.
Dana Beasley may be reached at email@example.com; 575-541-5405.
Tune in
The episode of "Say Yes to the Dress" will air at 7 p.m. today on TLC. Check your provider's directory for the channel.

Determinants of cigarette smoking among school adolescents in eastern Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study
1 Department of Public Health, College of Health Sciences, Haramaya University, P.O. Box 235, Harar, Ethiopia
2 Department of Environmental Health Science, College of Health Sciences, Haramaya University, Harar, Ethiopia

Harm Reduction Journal 2012, 9:39 doi:10.1186/1477-7517-9-39Published: 10 December 2012
The World Health Organization (WHO) attributes more than 4 million deaths a year to tobacco, and it is expected that this figure will rise to 10 million deaths a year by 2020. Moreover, it is now a growing public health problem in the developing world.
To assess the prevalence of cigarette use and its determinant factors among high school students in eastern Ethiopia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted using structured self-administered questionnaires among 1,721 school adolescents in Harar town, eastern Ethiopia. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to examine associations.
The analysis revealed that prevalence of ever cigarette smoking was 12.2% (95% CI 10.8% - 13.9%). Reasons mentioned for smoking cigarettes were for enjoyment (113, 52.8%), for trial (92, 42.9%), and for other reasons (9, 4.3%). The main predictors of cigarette smoking were sex (OR 4.32; 95% CI 2.59-7.22), age (OR 1.20; 95% CI 1.05-1.38) and having friends who smoke (OR 8.14; 95% CI 5.19-12.70). Living with people who smoke cigarettes was not significantly associated with smoking among adolescents (OR 1.25; 95% CI 0.81-1.92).
This study concluded that high proportion of school adolescents in Harar town smoked cigarettes. Sex, age and peer influence were identified as important determinants of smoking. There is a need for early cost-effective interventions and education campaigns that target secondary school students.

After countless hours spent honing his craft and fine-tuning his now-signature techniques, he opened The Indus3 salon. Now, with the help of stylist Jenny Viana, Elder continues to uphold his vision of lifting each client's spirits by transforming their appearance through a host of personalized salon services tailored to individual tastes and styles.

Charlie Sheen Feels Bad For 'Two And A Half Men' Fans
Seemingly reconciled to his new status as former star of "Two and a Half Men," Charlie Sheen feels bad for the show's fans. After 177 episodes, he wishes his character had been given a proper send-off. "There was never that final episode where Alan comes into my room, calling my name, pulls back the closet door and there I am – hanging," he told Access Hollywood. On leaving the hit series, he said, "It was getting a little stale. I just didn't know it was going to rot and fall off the vine like this." Bitter? Still angry? You decide by watching what else Sheen had to say.

Group one then returned to the water late in the afternoon and after several breakdowns were repaired the racing was about to get underway in 22 knots of wind when Eric Monnin (SUI) and Torvar Mirsky (AUS), undefeated on Tuesday, tangled rigs. The jumper struts on Mirsky's rig were damaged and he could not sail so he returned to the Royal Bermuda YC. His match one, flight five with Keith Swinton (AUS) will be sailed on Thursday.
In group one, flight five, match two, between Ian Evans (USA) and Monnin, Evans got a black flag for too many outstanding penalties and the win went to Monnin.
Then in match three, reigning ISAF Match Racing World Champion Ian Williams (GBR) and Damien Iehl (FRA) had a battle down to wire. Iehl was ahead but had to make a penalty turn before finishing. He made the turn but came out on port and did not keep clear of Williams. He was penalized again and the win went to Williams.
Williams' next match was short lived after Swinton broke his boom at the vang fitting doing a gybe during the pre-start. With Swinton unable to start the umpires black flagged him handing the win to Williams. Williams then went on to defeat Mirsky in the final match of the day and leads group one with six wins.
The other matches in that flight turned into survival tests with the boats taking one death roll after another coming downwind in blustery 25 knot gusts. Iehl gave Mirsky his first defeat of the competition, and taking one final roll right at the finish, Reuben Corbett (NZL) defeated Evans.
Match racing action in the Argo Group Gold Cup, stage eight of the World Match Racing Tour, continued on Wednesday with the one-hour early 07:00 skippers meeting and the 08:00 first warning for flight two for group two. With the sun barely up in Bermuda, in a breeze that built all morning with gusts in the low twenties, spinnakers were only used for the first flight of the day. Group two flights three and four were non-spinnaker matches.
Penalty flags flew everywhere just like the matches on Tuesday, every match in group two, flight two garnered a penalty or two. In group three racing later in the day there was even a collision between Wilson and an umpire boat, a collision between boats racing and rumours of a boat colliding with the harbour wall. Mattias Rahm (SWE) was black flagged in flight one of group three against Phil Robertson (NZL), getting an immediate disqualification for three simultaneous penalties.
This was the second black flag DSQ in the 2009 Argo Group Gold Cup.
The third black flag came out in the group one, flight five, match two, between Evans and Monnin, with Monnin getting the automatic, instant win. The fourth black flag came out in the group one flight six, match four, between Swinton and Williams with the win going Williams way.
Racing will get underway on Thursday at 09:00am weather permitting. The forecast is for 40 knots of wind to come through so there might be some waiting around before the action starts again.

Thank You Washington Shuttle Boosters
To thank you for your support, and to celebrate the new Space Gallery, we are offering Free Admission on Saturday, April 16!
Saturday will be a day to celebrate the institution's acquisition of a space shuttle trainer, and free admission is a way the Museum can show its gratitude for the community's goodwill and support during the Museum's long effort to bring a NASA space shuttle orbiter to Seattle. NASA announced today that the retired space shuttles will be awarded to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the California Science Center in Los Angeles, the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
While we are happy for the cities which have been awarded one the retiring space shuttles, we are thrilled to receive the full-fuselage shuttle trainer. Not only is it a unique and exciting educational artifact to have as a centerpiece of our Space Gallery, but, unlike the actual shuttles, we will be able to allow the public to walk inside it and actually see where the shuttle astronauts trained.
-Doug King, President and CEO
The new gallery will also house numerous other rare space artifacts that will be part of a one-of-a-kind exhibit about space and engaging the next generation of space explorers through hands-on learning.
The Space Gallery is being built on the west side of East Marginal Way, connected to the main building by the T. Evans Wyckoff Memorial Bridge. Soon after the completion of the Space Gallery, construction will begin on a new building for Aviation High School on the Museum campus. See more information and construction photos of Space Gallery.
Below is a series of graphics depicting what the completed Space Gallery will look like upon opening in 2012. Click an image to see it full-sized.

Leica R8 owner here (as of 1hr ago) Gotta love ebay! I have it paired with a 35-70 F4 Vario-Elmar-R. It's a BEAUTY! It's always good to be in touch with with other owners in case I need some info or tips. If the groups grows I'll create a dedicated group forum for it.
Hi Sean, Thanks for setting up this group and enjoy the R8, it's a great camera. I'm an M user and have an M2R and an M6 with an assortment of lenses with my favorites being a 50mm Dual range Summicron and a 35mm UC-Hexanon. Of course then there's the 21mmf/4.5 Biogon and a 75mm Summicron... Is anyone else here a member of the Leica Historical Society of America? I've been a member for several years and have made a number of good friends, very interesting people.
Can an M6 TTL user visit with the Leica R crowd?
I have an entire gallery on my web portfolio shot with only my two M6 cameras.
I used a 24 mm, 35 mm, and a 75 mm lens on the project.
Hi, another Leica fan here. I love my M3 DS that belonged to my dad. My primary lenses with it are the 50/2 Summicron, 90/4 Elmar, a little used 135 Hektor and a much loved 35/2.5 Skopar lens from Voightlander.
Just been playing with the R8 mirror pre-release. Pretty cool feature.. so just to make sure I'm clear on this.. when enabled and the shutter is fully pressed the mirror flips up, then the shutter fires, then pressing again releases the mirror. The shutter is so quiet it makes me feel like it's not firing but I'm sure it is. I might pop out and burn a test roll.
Sweet Camera Sean, I have never played with the R8 but I have shot with borrowed R3 and R4 in the past. The R system is underrated with really nice optics.
A recent first time M6 owner (late TTL version). Wanted to experience the Leica "mystique". It hasn't magically improved my photos yet and I have not been impressed with the Leitz 90mm f2 lens - very soft wide open. Nikon is much sharper so I will be sticking to the Nikon for my gig photography. Also the shutter noise was not as quiet as the reputation had me believe. Compared to say my Mamiya 7 it's loud! So I would say we are still dating and haven't fallen in love yet! Maybe it will be a slow affair.
Just got back from a brief outing down at the shore. By the 15th frame it was comfortable and fluid to use. Feels solid like a small tank in my hands. I took a variety of shots to test out the 35-70, a few macros as the lens has a macro capability (can't remember the last time I had a macro so that was fun). I have a feeling I am going to love this camera. I consider myself clumsy with manual focus slrs but this is by far the most effortless of any I have used you can actually see everything SNAP right into focus the viewfinder is so bright even with the F4. So far pretty happy, time to make a few prints..
Quietly checking in. <shhh> click <shhhhh>
i have and use a m3 double stroke. i have a 35, 50 and 90 for it
and love using it. i love how solid it feels and how it works pefectly.
i was joking when i said it had an auto function
1st roll from the R8 is drying. They look gooooood, nice contrast and sharp as a tack. Will try to make a few prints tomorrow.
Lovely camera Sean, good luck with it, I'm looking forward to hearing your experiences. I've an M7 in the classifieds at the moment. I don't think the rangefinder is for me. Perhaps I should have bought an R. So please keep us posted on your experiences with your R8
Sean, look forward to you posting your first images.
Tony, I have a Mamiya 7 II system. Yes it is quieter than a Leica M camera because of its electronic shutter. The Leica has a manual shutter, albeit louder than the Mamiya, but still pretty quiet compared to other manufacturer's manual shutters. Never used a 90 mm f/2.0 so can't compare, but my 75 mm at f/1.4 is amazingly sharp.
Hello Sean,
What lens(es) have you got for the R8?
I've got the Leica 35-70 F4 Vario-Elmar-R. My research showed this lens to have an edge over the F3.5 model. Most of them were going on ebay for 1200US but I found a Demo model that's absolute mint from Adorama for 650 (and it had a Leica UV filter on it which can be 120US -so very happy!).
Single Stroke M3, Double Stroke M3, a CL and a bunch of lenses. I Also have a Visoflex and a sweet 65mm Elmar. Oh - and a Focomat.
Walter - yes, probably unfair to compare two different technologies and the shutter is quieter than my SLRs, especially throwing film advance and mirror into the comparison equation. I suppose I am approaching my experience with a bit of scepticism trying to sort the truth from the myths. I would say the "whisper quiet" shutter is in the myth category so far!
Tony - what I found with the Myth of the quiet Leica M shutter is that in a quiet room the shutter sounds loud to me. It is when you are shooting with a lot of ambient sound, such as people talking and distracted from the shooter, the Leica M shutter is very quiet to everyone in the room. The shooter still hears the shutter, but everyone else doesn't notice it compared to shooting with an SLR. So the myth is how others perceive the shutter noise, not so much for us who are using the camera. When push comes to shove, the Mamiya 7 shutter beats the Leica M any day of the week. You make a good point in your original observation.
Posted my first shot with the R8, testing out the macro capability of the 35-70 lens. I'm going to love this camera btw the scan is crud, might need to upgrade my scanner at some stage, good enough though. http://www.apug.org/gallery/showphot...35988&ppuser=8

Topics of the day:
1. Putting orthodontics into perspective
Dear ESCO friends,
With the last message an attachment (a FROnews personal newsletter) was included relevant to choice of treatment options. Now that the dust should have settled on treatment choices, a copy of an earlier newsletter of mine is being sent as an attachment... that is of far more consequence.
It contains decades of study and thought (having been editor of the AOJ and on the WJO Editorial Board) about where we are at, where we should be at, and even what we should be protecting. May I suggest that members of ESCO at least read the first few pages as orientation... but hopefully read the lot despite its length?
On showing copies to medical practitioners, their responses have been amazing. That is, the newsletter seems to fill a common and wide ranging need to help people orientate their professional thoughts and experiences. Unfortunately, because of the condensed writing, some sections require multiple readings.
(Please see the attached MS Word document.)
Is anyone else seeing a phenomenon of teeth shifting in a very unique way after a period of time in fixed lingual retainers? Our practice has seen more than a few patients come in, sometimes even years post- treatment, with a distinct torquing of the lateral incisor/canine (lateral crown torque), both maxillary and mandibular. At first we assumed that the wire was not passive, but after being very careful in bending them, we still saw the problem. Then we thought maybe the wire (Ormco, braided Twisti-Flex) was unraveling? We cannot figure it out! If anyone has any ideas, we would much appreciate it. Also, please let us know if there is a certain technique/wire/lab that you are happy with. Thanks so much...
Jen Salzer
Members Do you know of a headgear (manufacturer please) that can be used on a nickel sensitive patient?

320-horsepower BMW M135i headlines new three-door 1 Series range
We can now take an official, in-depth look at the new BMW M135i and the accompanying three-door 1 Series range now that BMW has officially launch them – and there's much to see. Starting from the beginning, the Bimmer's styling has inclined some people to grab their hatchets. Yes, there's a whole lot of intensity and a slumgullion of deeply incised polygons mixed together in that little upright face, but we have no doubt there'll be a whole lot more people grabbing their wallets when they see it.
Along with the 320-horsepower M135i, fresh engines and features are among the new treats, as well as Sport Line, Urban Line and M Sport Package trims. The new 102-hp 114i model establishes the base, followed by the 136-hp 116i, 170-hp 118i and 218-hp 125i on the gasoline side, the 116-hp 116d, 143-hp 118d, 184-hp 120d and 218-hp 125d on the diesel side. Six-speed manuals are the go-to, with two eight-speed automatic transmissions in the options column. The M135i and 120d can be had with xDrive all-wheel drive, a first-time application on the 1 Series.
The new body is 85 mm longer, 17 mm wider, with a 30-mm longer wheelbase and wider track front and rear. The enlarged dimensions mean more cargo and legroom in the back, and buyers will get the option of having either two or three rear seats. And the comfort and safety systems lists read like someting out of the Papa Bear 7 Series, from Internet access to Lane Departure Warning and auto-braking cruise control.

The Holy Bible - The First Book of the Kings, Chapter 16 (Latin)
1Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
3Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
5Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
6So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
7And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
8In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
9And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
10And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
11And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
12Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet.
13For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
14Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
16And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
17And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
18And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died.
19For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
20Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
21Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
22But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
23In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
24And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
25But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
26For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
27Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
29And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
30And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
31And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
32And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
33And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
34In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
1factus est autem sermo Domini ad Hieu filium Anani contra Baasa dicens
2pro eo quod exaltavi te de pulvere et posui ducem super populum meum Israhel tu autem ambulasti in via Hieroboam et peccare fecisti populum meum Israhel ut me inritares in peccatis eorum
3ecce ego demetam posteriora Baasa et posteriora domus eius et faciam domum tuam sicut domum Hieroboam filii Nabath

7cum autem in manu Hieu filii Anani prophetae verbum Domini factum esset contra Baasa et contra domum eius et contra omne malum quod fecerat coram Domino ad inritandum eum in operibus manuum suarum ut fieret sicut domus Hieroboam ob hanc causam occidit eum
8anno vicesimo sexto Asa regis Iuda regnavit Hela filius Baasa super Israhel in Thersa duobus annis
9et rebellavit contra eum servus suus Zamri dux mediae partis equitum erat autem Hela in Thersa bibens et temulentus in domo Arsa praefecti Thersa
10inruens ergo Zamri percussit et occidit eum anno vicesimo septimo Asa regis Iuda et regnavit pro eo
11cumque regnasset et sedisset super solium eius percussit omnem domum Baasa et non dereliquit ex eo mingentem ad parietem et propinquos et amicos eius
12delevitque Zamri omnem domum Baasa iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat ad Baasa in manu Hieu prophetae
13propter universa peccata Baasa et peccata Hela filii eius qui peccaverunt et peccare fecerunt Israhel provocantes Dominum Deum Israhel in vanitatibus suis

16cumque audisset rebellasse Zamri et occidisse regem fecit sibi regem omnis Israhel Amri qui erat princeps militiae super Israhel in die illa in castris
17ascendit ergo Amri et omnis Israhel cum eo de Gebbethon et obsidebant Thersa
18videns autem Zamri quod expugnanda esset civitas ingressus est palatium et succendit secum domum regiam et mortuus est

Television is a daily presence in the lives of most young children, and video games on consoles and computers are also widely used by children. But how does exposure to television, computers, electronic games and other such media affect children's health and development? Researchers and children's advocates agree that television and other types of screen media are not appropriate activities for very young children, and that older children should be carefully monitored, and kept within safe time limits, when viewing or playing on any such media (KFF, 2005).
As an early care and education professional, you are more than just a child care provider; you are also a family educator and a role model for positive caregiving. By educating families about the dangers of electronic media and by creating a sensible media policy in your program, you can make a lasting difference in the lives of the children in your care.
What are the dangers of television and electronic media for young children?
Television and electronic games can have a negative effect on children's physical and emotional health, social development, academic skills and behavior. Below are some of the suspected negative effects of electronic media on children.
Poor nutrition and obesity. Children need time for active play and exercise. Daily vigorous play helps them to develop muscles and to maintain cardiovascular fitness. However, viewing television and playing games on electronic consoles or computers are sedentary ways to pass time and provide no physical benefits. Additionally, children who view television are vulnerable targets of advertisements for food products of poor nutritional value (AAP, 1999). Healthy and nutritious foods are rarely presented in television advertising targeted at children. Research has shown that children who spend extensive amounts of time watching television programs are at increased risk for overweight and obesity in childhood and also later in life.
Television and electronic media displace social interaction. Time spent watching television or playing a computer game is time not spent engaged in a creative activity, or interacting with other people. Television viewing is an especially passive experience, offering no opportunity to interact or respond. When the amount of time spent in front of the television or sitting at a game console is prolonged, it can displace social activities such as play, or even conversation. Spending too much time with electronic media can be an isolating experience, with a negative impact on the development of social skills (AAP, 2001).
Violence and aggressive behavior. Many television programs and electronic games feature situations of violence and destruction. Research studies have shown that children exposed to violent images are initially frightened and traumatized. With repeated exposure, they can become desensitized to the real effects of violence. Children exposed in this way may act aggressively, with no sense of consequences (AAP, 2001).
Tobacco and alcohol. Movies and television pro- grams glamorize smoking and drinking. Additionally, television and movie characters are often shown indulging in substance use. These images send the dangerous message to children that substance use is normal, or even attractive, adult behavior (AAP, 1999).
School readiness. A recent study showed that exposure to general television programming in early childhood is associated with inferior academic skills at school age. The children in the study who were regular viewers of mainstream television had smaller vocabularies and less developed math skills compared to children who viewed no television or children's educational programs only (Wright, 2001).
Attention problems. Another recent study tracked a group of children across time. The researchers found that exposure to television at a very young age is associated with attention problems later on. The children in the study who spent more daily hours viewing television at ages 1 and 3 years had higher rates of attention problems at age 7 years (Christakis, 2004).
What can we do?
Below are several tips for protecting children from the adverse effects of electronic media.
- Television and electronic media are inappropriate for children from birth to 24 months, under any circumstances. Educate parents not to use television to entertain or educate these youngest and most vulnerable children. Infants and toddlers need frequent human interaction for social, emotional and cognitive development.
- Child care settings should consider a television-free policy for children of all ages, particularly if the children are being exposed to electronic media at home.
- For children age 2 years and over, caregivers and parents should limit television viewing to educational programs designed for children. In child care settings where there is some television present, children should be exposed to it only for short periods of time.
- Don't leave young children alone with television or electronic games on. Stay with them to monitor the content of the media and their reactions.
- Answer any questions they have about what they are seeing. Television and other electronic media should not be used as a "baby sitter" of young children.
- Teach children to be critical viewers of commercial messages.
- Evaluate the nutritional value of foods promoted on television, and offer children healthy alternatives.
- Educate families to create and implement an electronic media policy at home. The policy should provide children with clear guidance about how much and what types of programs and games are permitted. All of the adults in the setting should agree on the policy and enforce it consistently.
