Sony Alpha SLT-A57Y camera
The Sony Alpha A57 is a mid-level camera that can produce fantastic results
- Image clarity
- Quick performance
- Good high ISO capability
- Not hard to use
- Battery life not great
- Some chromatic aberration
Bottom Line
The Sony Alpha SLT-A57Y is an interchangeable lens camera that's well worth considering. It's a camera that can capture wonderfully clear and vibrant images without you having to fiddle around with the settings too much. We think you can have a lot of fun with it, especially if you go for the twin lens kit that has the 55-200mm lens in it.

Sony's Alpha SLT-A57Y is a 16-megapixel, mid-class interchangeable lens camera that's designed to appease users who want something relatively easy to use, yet also capable of capturing very clear and vibrant images. It's a camera that we grew to love the more we used it, primarily for those reasons, but also for its overall speed.
The SLT-A57Y isn't a traditional digital SLR. It looks like one, feels like one, and it can take different lenses thanks to its A-mount ring, but it doesn't have a conventional mirror box in which light is reflected up to an optical viewfinder from a mirror that gets out of the way of the sensor when the shutter is pressed. Instead, the Sony uses a fixed mirror that's translucent, which allows light to pass straight through to the sensor without moving. The image isn't reflected from the mirror into an optical viewfinder like it is in a digital SLR (the Sony has an electronic viewfinder, or EVF); instead, the mirror's purpose is to bounce light up into a dedicated sensor that can enhance auto-focus operations.
The result is a camera that does indeed posses superb focusing abilities, both when it comes to still images, live view and videos. We found it to be quick and accurate throughout our test period, even when focusing in relatively low-light situations with little contrast between objects. You can elect to focus either continuously or in single-shot mode, and when using the EVF you can also enable the Eye-Start AF feature, which focuses automatically as you move the camera around a scene. Furthermore, you can focus on a spot area, across a whole scene, you can choose an individual focus point (you have 15 to choose from in a central cluster) and you can even use tracking (with great accuracy across the frame).
We're also very impressed with the camera's metering and ability to expose shots almost without any problems. We used the camera extensively in aperture priority mode when shooting outdoors in very bright and challenging conditions, and the results were impressive to our eyes. Only few shots contained highlights that were greatly over-exposed (or blown); the exposure in general was handled in a way so that images possessed good dynamic range and didn't look underdone — colours were vibrant, yet not unrealistically rich in JPEG mode by default (you can shoot RAW, too).
For our tests, we used the 55-200mm kit lens exclusively and we found it to be an excellent companion for this camera. It can produce wonderfully blurred backgrounds when you use a shallow depth of field, with out-of-focus elements taking on a perfectly round shape. It's the type of lens that makes photography lots of fun. The fact that it starts off at 55mm means some "foot zoom" needs to be used when taking photos of close-by objects (that is, you'll need to walk further back from your subject to fit more into the frame), but for portraits and distance shots, it's perfect. For wide shots, the 18-55mm lens can be used and it's part of the twin lens kit for this camera, which costs $1199.
Clarity in the images that we took was very high. Even when viewing images at their native size (4912x3264 pixels), they looked well defined and not at all pixelated. The only problem that we noticed when looking at images at their native size was some slight purple fringing around high-contrast areas, but this wasn't obvious when looking at the images on a smaller scale. The clarity of images taken at full zoom was also quite high, and we attribute part of this to the camera's built-in stabilisation, which can counter movement at the sensor level.
The built-in stabilisation also works for low-light situations and we found that we could capture handheld shots with a high level of clarity even when using a slow shutter speed — we had success even when the shutter was down to 1/6 of a second. A high ISO can be used to good effect, even up to a value of 3200 in some cases. Viewing images taken with a high ISO at a small size won't accentuate much graininess and loss of clarity; those will only be visible once you start cropping images taken with such a high ISO.
We've already mentioned how quickly the Alpha A57 can focus, but it's also a fast camera when it comes to shot-to-shot performance. Shutter lag is virtually non-existent and the Alpha snaps its shutter in a very swift, electronic-sounding manner. We clocked it at 3.5 frames per second (fps) when shooting in the low-speed burst mode; in the high-speed burst mode it was able to capture 9fps for a period of 3sec before slowing down.
The camera has built-in guides that you can consult if you're unsure of how to take a particular type of scene (just press the '?' button on the back) and there are various filters and scene modes to take advantage of, too. Furthermore, the control layout is comfortable and logical, and the menu system (both the main menu and the Fn menu) is easy to understand after a few uses.
Shots can be framed either through the EVF or the LCD screen, and you can use both at any time. There is a sensor that will switch off the screen when it detects that you're using the EVF. For better battery life, you are better off disabling the screen unless you need to frame a shot at a particularly difficult angle and looking through the EVF is not feasible. The screen is hinged at the bottom and can be pulled down and rotated side to side.
Video mode has its own dedicated button next to the EVF, and the camera can record 1440x1080-pixel video in MP4 files. We found the quality of the video to be very good and think the Alpha can be a capable hybrid if you're looking for a still camera than can do double-duty as a video camera with with pitcure effects and custom depth of field settings.
Overall, the Sony Alpha SLT-A57Y is a top-notch, mid-range camera kit that can yield high quality results. It can be used in full manual mode if you know what you're doing, but it will also do a great job when used in semi-auto and full auto modes. It's a relatively light and compact camera for what it is, and it shouldn't take you too long to master its controls and menu system. The main downside is the battery, which can deplete very quickly if you use the screen, but apart from that there is not much to dislike at all.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

David: I suspect that the earth colors are mineral-based and much more heat stable than the chemically (organic) derived colors. I have aquarelles but don't have the bloody-minded curiosity to work with them very often. The water load in the brush is so critical.

I feel terrible I met David last year at Trend but just didn't connect the two as David was not on the forum then.
I made sure I spoke and watched him work from my perch across the way, seeing his work in real life is just amazing this dragon . His encouraging words well maybe on day I'll give it a try..I have burnt wood before usually in the fire though.
David am I correct did I notice something spilt on the Dragon??
22nd Nov 2011, 09:41 PM #18
'Robson', you are right earth colours are just that. However with the coloured pencils you seem to get away with it most of the time regardless of the nature of the pigment. Therefore logic seems best applied after you've blundered upon some empirical fact that works. I have some aquarelle pencils too but haven't tried them yet.
It was good to meet you 'Wheelin', at Trend Timbers the other day, thanks for the generous comments. Yes there did seem to be a small grease/oil stain on the unfinished version of the coloured dragon pyrography that appeared that day. Nothing to worry about, I did a few versions of this and I think I can fix the one mentioned, if I get around to it.

Apart from my lici colorstar 3000 (oh will I be sad when the time comes that it dies and I can't fix it) the handiest is a ring around. Then the next best tool -
The Kodak Ektacolor FilterFinder Kit. Kodak Publication No. R-30, edition 1, 1978. Old cat # was 102 7408. Mine I got used, and it has the original price of $29.40, which was a lot of coin in the late 70's.
It includes a two page ring around that also appears in other Kodak publications of the era, and a 8x10 grey card, of the same sort that Kodak sold independently for about $30 for two of them at the same time.
There is a dial calculator, much of the sort that shows up in other Kodak darkroom data guides, to help you figure new exposure times at a different head height once you have a good small print, with the exposure correct.
This one also includes corrective scales to help you find the right tiime based on your test tiem if the exposure is judged to be 1/2 stop too light, too dark etc, or the new time if you are adding in new acetate filters to correct color cast. This dial I originaly worked without by using filter factor tables and a scratch pad and pocket calculator.
The real gems of the kit are the last 2 bits - One is a peice of 4x5 transparency film, and the other is a density reference patch.
You photgraph the grey card in the light situation that the print you want to get filtration sort out for, ideally on the same roll, but the same type and speed of film, developed the same way will work lamost as well. (In a pinch without a grey card at hand, I have also used weathered asphalt road paving as a grey reference source and then slightly adjust exposure to suit later.)
You project the grey card image and print though the transparency film which is in contact with the paper on the easel. The transparency has patches of 0-30cc of color in the yellow, magenta and cyan axes. It also has places to encourage you to record what test print number was made, the filtration used to measure it, which of the test squares is closest to grey, and the exposure correction factor.
The locator card has 1/2" square patches of varying degrees from white to black with 18% grey in the center, and two stops away in either direction in half stop increments. Each sqaure has a bit smaller than 1/4" hole punched in the middle of it. They are numbered for the exposure factor: 4 (white), 3, 2, 1.5, 1 (mid grey), 0.75, 0.50, 0.38, 0.25 (balckest) This tool can be made by careful exposure of b&w photographic paper.
You use this tool to judge how dark the test print grey was made though a clear part of the transparency overlay. Say that the grey was 1/2 stop overexposed. Then you use the window in patch of .75 denisty to look for the gery square in the colour varied squares part of the exposure. This allows you to refine the color further without trying to first nail the right denisty perfectlly on the wrong filtration, and hence gets you that much closer on the next iteration.
There is also a stright forward 11 page illustrated booklet on how to use the kit best, and what to do if things are not going well.
If there is interest, I may attempt to clone the transparency as a project over my Christmas holidays. I have a box of about 37 sheets of 4x5 Astia that I consider my evenest transparency film, and may see if a dupe using pre-flashing to control contrast can yeld an acceptible clone that can be measured against the original on my denisitometer.

Resident Advisory Council members appointed
Published: Monday, August 6, 2007 at 5:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 6, 2007 at 5:51 p.m.
About the Resident Advisory Council members, taken from their applications:
DISTRICT 1: Carl Bell, of Montoya Drive, is a resident of 13 years and a retired outside salesman. He has volunteered for Villagers for Hospice, Habitat for Humanity, VHA, Sumter County Sheriff's Office and the Lady Lake Police Department. He has served on the CDD 1 board, for five years, and on the Lake Sumter Emergency Management Services Board of Directors. Bell said on his application, "I feel the community functions very well as it is; however, I think it could function better with more direct input from residents via the RAC to the VCCDD board of Supervisors."
DISTRICT 2: John Land, of Camero Drive, is a retired as a rocket engineer and from marketing and general management for the aircraft industry and Rolls Royce. He has volunteered for VHA, civic associations, Children's Home in Indianapolis, Kiwanis, Elks, ethnic clubs and the Episcopal Church. He has served on the Punta Gorda City Council, the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary committee and the Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center board. He said, "Communication with all the residents on both sides of 441 and 466 is extremely important to ensure we do not split The Villages into groups such as the old, the not-so-old and the new."
DISTRICT 3: Richard Montroy, of Hudson Court, is a resident of five years and a retired teacher, ordained minister, dean, major military officer and licensed Florida Realtor. He has volunteered as the president of Homeowners Association of Aurora, Colo.. He has served on the Denver Public Schools committee, Tyndall Green II Homeowners Association, Presbytery of the West (church development) and as department chair, Dean of Students, Oklahoma Junior College. He said his primary issues are "the how, what, when, where and why of amenity fee distributions, and provide resident input, explore issues and provide advice to the board on issues related to amenity fee operation."
DISTRICT 4: Donald Deakin, of Hazelwood Loop, is a resident of four years. He retired as an energy manager for the Illinois School District, a financial analyst for Dunn and Bradstreet, a bank officer, owner of Summer Oaks Lake Resort in Battle Creek, Mich., and CEO and president of American Business Investments. He has volunteered as treasurer of the VHA board of directors and charitable fund, local representative, vice president of a teachers union board of directors, Circle K International, on the boards of the VCCDD Christmas Parade Focus Group, Youth Detention and Safe House Development Council in Alachua, Cable TV Development Council and Youth Recreation Program Council in Gainesville. He said his issues are "the amenities budget, its current and future needs, resident control, develop a draft of the interlocal agreement with VCCDD and CDDs north of County Road 466, cooperative working relationship among CDDs north of C.R. 466, and maintain and improve their recreational trails."
LADY LAKE EAST OF U.S. 441: Jean Scott, of Heathrow Avenue, has been a resident of The Villages for 18 years. She is retired from a career as a customer representative and worked for The Villages as executive assistant to the district manager of the Villages Center Community Development District and the Sumter Landing CDD for 11 years. Scott has volunteered for district functions, including Lions Club parades and Get to Know Your Government Day. Her familiarity with boards comes from serving on the advisory board for Lake-Sumter Community College and working with the CDDs in The Villages.
Scott believes the RAC should address "recommendations on recreational activities, maintenance issues on district buildings and common areas, northwest issues, safety issues, executive golf issues [and] programs offered by the district."
LADY LAKE WEST OF U.S. 441: Charles George Green Jr., of Bolivar Street, has been a resident of The Villages for 14 years. He is retired from a career as an executive for Shell Chemical Co. and as a public accountant. Green has volunteered as a small-business counselor for Service Corps of Retired Executives, has been a trustee for New London (N.H.) Regional Hospital and a member of Hospice, Rotary Club International (president in New Hampshire), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Society of Public Accountants. His familiarity with boards comes from serving on the New Hampshire Water Commission, the Springfield (N.H.) Budget Committee, the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. State Department A.I.D. Advisory Committee.
Green said, "Since the committee serves in an advisory capacity, issues to be addressed will, no doubt, come to the council from outside sources. As The Villages expands and matures, topics of importance will constantly change."
The new council was formed to provide resident feedback to the center district board about the governance and operations of amenities in The Villages. The center district board, which makes decisions about amenities, is comprised of The Villages' commercial stakeholders.
The advisory council was created as an indirect result of a November straw ballot in which the developer of The Villages asked residents north of County Road 466 if they would like to weigh in on their amenities system. The majority voted yes, but some of the numbered CDDs killed the proposed board by refusing to appoint representatives, and the council was formed instead as a compromise.
The new amenities budget is up for adoption on Sept. 7 - too soon for the council to make any major changes for the 2007-2008 fiscal year. When the council meets, it might be able to fine-tune operations, but their first few meetings will be used to iron out procedural issues and expectations.
The budget adoption's public hearing will be held at 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 7 at the Laurel Manor Recreation Center. Recreational amenity fees are planned to bring in $31.7 million, which is up from $31 million for 2006-2007. Total estimated revenues are $36.7 million.
The district has plans for expenditures of $18.9 million, with another $16.2 million going to repay debts for bonds. That leaves a surplus of $169,700, down from the current year's surplus of $271,600.
As of last Friday, the district had not received any resident comments about the budget, according to district manager Janet Tutt. The detailed budget is available for review at the district office.
New RAC members Residents chosen for the council include: Carl Bell for CDD 1, John Land for CDD 2, Richard Montroy for CDD 3, Donald Deakin for CDD 4, Lauretta "Jean" Scott for Lady Lake east of U.S. 441 and C. George Green for Lady Lake west of U.S. 441.
The Lady Lake representatives were chosen without interviews. In addition to the residents, the 10-member Resident Advisory Council is comprised of board chairs from CDDs 1 through 4.
The council members said they are aware that they are serving at the discretion of the center district board and are subject to removal from the board at any time. Most said they are waiting for the first few meetings to develop their game plans, but some went into detail regarding the goals they have set for the initial meetings.
Deakin said he hopes first to establish a good working relationship with council members and then to identify the needs of the community. He plans to ask to see the results of the survey The Villages conducted several months ago online.
"I think this is an excellent and rare opportunity for us to have some input as a resident group," Deakin said.
Scott said she'll meet with Tutt to find out what the district board members and residents want.
"The highest priority is how we get input from residents," she said.
Montroy said he hopes to improve communication between the government and the residents. Many people don't understand Chapter 190, which governs CDDs, and that leads to rumors and ax-grinding, he said.
He hopes to listen, "be the ears of the community" and make sound recommendations to the board.
Bell said he'll analyze the interlocal agreements between districts and the repercussions of making changes. Changing trail fees, for example, would be irresponsible unless you knew what the trails cost, he said.
Since the group members come with varying levels of experience with government, Tutt plans to tutor some members of the group about CDD and Sunshine laws. Members of the Resident Advisory Council have been advised by Tutt to review "housekeeping issues" as part of their first two meetings. They are now in the process of scheduling those meetings.

Police responded Wednesday to a fatal shooting at Wyckford Commons Apartments.

A man was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon on the city's Far Westside, causing the lockdown of several Wayne Township schools.
The shooting occurred around 4 p.m. in the 900 block of Wyckford Drive, near Ben Davis High School. The school - along with Chapel Hill Center, Chapelwood Elementary, and Ben Davis Ninth Grade Center - were then locked down as police investigated.

Imperfections aside, it's the most intriguing Windows 8 convertible yet
When we first saw the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, we declared it one of the most memorable things to come out of the show. That was 10 months ago, though, and thanks to that gap, there's a bit of a discrepancy between our initial impressions and our reaction following a week of real-world use. As we've discovered, it's an imperfect product, with a flaky trackpad, relatively limited storage and a fairly mediocre typing experience (this is usually Lenovo's strong suit). What's more, without the optional sleeve to cover the keyboard, the Yoga is awkward to use in tablet mode, since your fingers press up against the exposed buttons.
Still, the Yoga remains an intriguing specimen; we haven't seen another Windows 8 convertible with quite this versatile a design. And what a great design it is: As much as we complain about the keyboard, the hinge is sturdy and well-engineered. The entire package feels thin and light, despite the fact that touchscreens usually add heft. Even if you rarely flip the screen around, this is a solid Ultrabook in its own right. Sure, there are other Windows 8 PCs with sharper screens and even faster SSDs, but those cost about $200 more. Compared to the competition, then, this is still a good option. Left alone in its price class, it's an even stronger choice. Let's just hope Lenovo can quickly update that flaky trackpad. That's not too much to ask, right?

The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a convertible touch-screen laptop/tablet that most importantly doesn't compromise the traditional laptop experience.Read the full review →
The IdeaPad Yoga is an able contortionist, blurring the line between laptop and tablet, while enabling users to explore the full capabilities of Windows 8. The soft-touch design, comfortable keyboard and swift performance also impresss.Read the full review →
The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a solid ultrabook, but as a tablet, it's a little too big for comfort. Otherwise, the Yoga 13 has the best hybrid design we've seen so far.Read the full review →
While I'm not sure that anyone really wants a tablet that's quite this big, at the very least it's a solid contender for the laptop user who just wants the occasional touchscreen experience available.Read the full review →
I salute Lenovo for design imagination. But the touch-pad bug, available storage and battery life, combined with the hefty price, make the Yoga 13 less than ideal.Read the full review →
In attempting to accommodate Windows 8's dual nature, much of the new hardware released for it feels in some way compromised. Hardware that's trying to be both an acceptable laptop and an acceptable tablet often end up being less-than-satisfactory in either role.Read the full review →
I liked the time I spent with it a lot, and if you want a good Windows 8 machine that is fast, versatile, and above all else, fun to use, then I have no problem recommending the Yoga 13. ... I would even say that it's one of the best Windows 8 machines on the market at the moment.Read the full review →
Overall there are more powerful options out there, but the Yoga 13 does succeed in delivering enough power in a striking and luxury body. It's the build element that elevates the score, despite the noted expense which may be enough to cause some prospective buyers to look elsewhere.Read the full review →
It's official, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a completely different beast than the Yoga 11. This one has a great screen and sound quality of the type we'd like to see more often on ultrabooks. With good battery life and a lightweight body, the Yoga 13 is a prime choice for people on the go.Read the full review →
While it's not the perfect laptop, the range of movement and use offered by the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga won us over. The more we embraced its range of movements the more the real-life benefits of a touchscreen display became apparent.Read the full review →
Like most of the Windows 8 convertible tablet/laptops we've looked at, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 isn't quite the perfect hybrid. However, if you regard it as a touch-screen Ultrabook with a cool twist, it certainly succeeds.Read the full review →
All in all, we really enjoyed our time with this convertible ultrabook and feel the IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a solid, well-built machine that we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to our friends and family.Read the full review →
Though we wish it had more ports and the keyboard didn't have those minor frustrations, overall, we have no trouble recommending this Ultrabook.Read the full review →

I picked this up for my job for testing on Windows, so while I don't use this everyday, I think I've used it enough to write a review for it.

I love this thing. I thought the 13" display would be too small, but because of its light weight and hinge flexibility, I can rest it on my chest while sitting in my recliner, and view it from just a foot away, which makes the relative display size HUGE. It also works really well on an airplane...Read the full review →
This is a very nice laptop. It is thin and quite portable with many unique features. The keyboard has a very nice feel to it and the trackpad is amazing.

I purchased this laptop about 2 weeks ago with the Core i7, 8GB RAM and 256SSD. So it has every available option from Lenovo. This laptop is incredibly fast with this configuration.

Yasiin Bey, also known as Mos Def, relased a controversial video to show his take on the issue of force feeding at Guantanamo Bay prison.
Force feeding is a standard procedure at Guantanamo Bay. Over 100 detainees have been on a hunger strike at the Cuba facility. The hunger strike is in protest to their indefinite detention.
In response to the hunger strikes, the Obama administration has resorted to force feeding 44 of the prisoners, using feeding tubes.
The Obama administration claims that the force feeding is to save lives. But many in the medical community have criticized the force feeding measures, saying that they are unethical.
READ: Is it Un-American to Let Guantanamo Prisoners Voluntarily Starve? (ILLUME)
Bey's video is not easy on the stomach-- both literally and metaphorically. In his video, Bey is even seen crying out in pain and asking for the procedure to stop.
The force feeding procedure occurs twice a day at Guantanamo Bay, MSN writes. The procedure lasts two hours in some cases, with the prisoner shackled to a restraint chair, a feeding tube in his nostril.
Despite the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which calls for daily fasting, the prisoners will continue to be force fed. In response to Ramadan, the Obama administration has indicated that force-feedings will happen at night during Ramadan, writes The Guardian.
Yasiin Bey is a practicing Muslim and an actor-musician who has appeared in many films and television shows, including The Italian Job and Dexter. He prepared the video in collaboration with BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia.

Rani Mukerji to play journalist again
BollywoodHungamaNewsNetwork , BollywoodHungamaNewsNetwork : Mumbai, Thu Feb 14 2013, 18:53 hrs
Rani Mukerji rose to fame with Karan Johar's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and their association has continued since then, so much so that Karan regards Rani as one of his lucky mascot. Now that the duo are working on Karan's short film which is part of the feature 'Bombay Talkies', a tribute to the centenary year of Indian Cinema, we hear that Rani is all set to play a journalist again.
Earlier Rani had played a journalist in No One Killed Jessica, for which she got tremendous accolades, and no wonder Karan is confident she will pull off the role yet again really well. In the film which is slated for release on May 3, Rani and Randeep Hooda, play a married couple. The short film also features Saqib Saleem.

Saturday was graduation day for Northern Michigan University (NMU) students. Over 800 graduates filled the Superior Dome in Marquette.
Michelle Taylor came to the U.P. two years ago with her fiancÃ, Wesley Williams, who was also the former morning meteorologist of TV6.
Taylor said even though Wesley could not attend her graduation, she knows he is proud.
"It means a lot to me because I worked very hard for this, and it's really exciting to finally be here and get this over with. Wesley's in Louisiana watching on the live stream right now, so I'm very pleased about that," said Taylor.
Congratulations Michelle and all of the NMU grads.
As the graduates walked to their seats, family and friends used the opportunity to take pictures.
During the ceremony, a moment of silence was held for former NMU president Bill Vandament who passed away in April.

For some time I've had a spare 90/6.8 lens sitting around (a Roeschlein-Kreuznach Rexagon in a Synchro-Compur-P shutter) and I've always kind of wanted to make a 6x12 camera out of it. At first I was thinking of buying Razzledog's CD on Polaroid 110 conversion, but decided that $50 seemed like a lot for something I could probably figure out myself. Then I read the page on the Medium Format Megasite and that decided to try that route first.
Looking at the Kodak 1A/2A versus the 3A I ran into some issues though. I have a 4x5 enlarger, so I wouldn't be able to print the whole negative if I went with a 3A, but if I got a 1A/2A I would be getting a somewhat shortened pano format. Then I got to looking at the other Kodak roll film formats on Walker Mangum's Kodak Collector page and saw that the 130 roll film format was the closest to giving a 5" wide negative. There aren't so many Kodak folders that use the 130 format, but I settled on a 2C and got one on eBay for $11. It hasn't arrived yet, but I plan to copy the general ideas I have read so far to narrow the film gate, make a pressure plate, 120 roll adapters, etc. My biggest concern is whether I will have to chop off part of the door to keep it from appearing in the picture. It may not be too pretty by the time I'm finished, but it will be an interesting little project.

A crisis, for the purposes of this response overview, is a significant event that threatens the well-being of one or more individuals or the University as a whole. A crisis may include (but is not limited to)
a natural disaster (fire, flood, tornado),
a violent crime (such as an abduction/hostage situation, homicide, physical assault, sexual assault, armed robbery, bombing or bomb threat, stalking),
health threat (communicable disease outbreak, chemical spill, radiological threat, or sudden contamination),
civil disturbance, sudden or unexplained death (suicide, suspicious circumstances, accidental death), or other circumstances directly affecting the campus community (natural gas explosion, plane crash, train derailment).
The University's goals when a crisis occurs are to:
* Protect the human, physical and financial assets of the University.* Respond quickly to immediate threats to the well-being of students, faculty, staff and visitors.* Respond to the emotional, as well as physical impacts of a crisis on survivors, family members, and the greater University community.* Communicate openly, honestly and proactively with the University's constituents, recognizing the importance of avoiding panic, speaking with one voice, and balancing individuals' legal rights to privacy with the public's need to know about the situation.* Demonstrate through its management of the crisis that the University is maintaining responsible control of the situation, viewing each crisis as an opportunity to establish trust and build the University's credibility and reputation.* Coordinate the University's crisis response with local, state, and national resources as appropriate.* Initiate internal review of the crisis situation as appropriate.* Ensure appropriate follow-through on commitments made during the crisis and, after the crisis has subsided, evaluate the University's response in order to improve procedures.
The University has established a Crisis Response Team (CRT) that may be called together to develop and manage the institution's response to a crisis. In addition, a Core Crisis Group (CCG), made up of a limited number of members of the CRT, also has been established.
The Associate Vice President for University Communications is responsible for coordinating the institutional response; however, any senior officer, or any other member of theCRT may call upon any member of the CCG to call the team together if a crisis occurs. The CCG will determine which members from the CRT will be called upon to aid in the University's response. Members of the team are considered to be on-call as needed. They are:
Policies and procedures: The University has a number of policies and procedures in place to respond to specific crisis situations as they occur. For example, the University has developed a Closing Policy as well as emergency action plans. Specific departments have emergency action plans. CMU Police has procedures to respond to reports of crime, the Counseling Center has procedures for responding to students in emotional distress, Facilities Management has a disaster plan for responding to natural disasters, and Residence Life has plans for responding to events in residence halls. While most of these plans outline procedures for immediate responses to events, they should be viewed as part of a larger, coordinated University response to a crisis. In addition, the University is in the process of developing a business continuation plan to deal with the after effects of a crisis.
Assembling the response team: As a crisis occurs, offices will use existing plans to provide immediate response to protect the well-being of students, faculty, staff and visitors. A member of the campus community or CRT will contact a CCG member as soon as he or she becomes aware of the crisis. The CCG will convene and together they will determine the need to assemble the CRT. (The first response to a crisis, aside from initial emergency aide, should be to consult with others before initiating a response.)
The CCG chair will assemble the CRT as necessary. Responsibilities of the team are outlined on the following page:
* Designate a Crisis Coordinator as appropriate. The coordinator will work closely with the CCG to respond to the situation or will assume full responsibility for the coordination of services and activities.* Notify the President, Provost, appropriate Vice Presidents and/or Deans as soon as possible and keep them informed. The President is responsible for communicating with the Board of Trustees if deemed necessary.* Convene meetings to coordinate services and facilitate communications so that all needs are met efficiently as practical.* Convene a meeting of pertinent individuals to evaluate the adequacy of response to the crisis.* Manage communication about the crisis with University constituencies in accordance with University Communications emergency communications plan.
* Gather and share information about the event.* Separate and clarify issues; define terms; identify additional information needed.* Solicit opinions from members and discuss openly and honestly all points of view.* Determine overall University responses/positions to the event.* Identify individuals or groups affected by the event.* Plan appropriate responses for each group.* Assign responsibility for carrying out plans.* Recommend initiation of internal investigation of incident.* Reconvene following the crisis to assess the adequacy of the University response.
crisis response considerations sheet outlining examples of these activities is included in this document. This list is intended to provide focus for discussion during a highly pressurized situation and should not be considered a limit to potential responses. Some members of the team will automatically assume certain responsibilities based upon the nature of their positions. The Dean of Students, for example, will oversee the direct care and service to students and families who are closely involved in a crisis.
Related Websites: The University has created a consolidated website with information on all information related to crisis and emergency preparedness at Central Michigan University. That website can be found at:
https://www.cmich.edu/colleges/CHP/Pages/Emergency-Preparedness.aspx(Emergency Preparedness)

The Margaret Fuller House was the birthplace and childhood home of American transcendentalist Margaret Fuller (1810–1850). It is located at 71 Cherry Street, in the Old Cambridgeport Historic District area of Cambridge, Massachusetts, now called the "Area Four" Neighborhood (north of Mass. Ave., between Central and Kendall Squares). The house is now a National Historic Landmark.
The three-story, wooden, Federal style house was built in the early 19th century, and was Fuller's home from birth until age 16. In 1902 it became the Margaret Fuller House of Cambridge, a settlement house providing information and services to help immigrants assimilate into American culture. It is now known as the Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House.
Fuller's parents, Timothy Fuller and Margaret Crane Fuller, were married in 1809. A few months after the wedding, they bought the three-story, Federal-style house on Cherry Street for the high price of $6,000.[2] The couple's daughter Sarah Margaret Fuller was born in this home on May 23, 1810.[3]
Current use[edit]
Today, the Margaret Fuller House is being used to service the public in the community of Area 4 in Cambridge. It provides a free computer lab, computer classes, a food pantry, after-school services for children, meeting room space for various activities for the public and a daytime summer camp for children. A fundraiser is held every year for the MFNH called the Sweet Soul Supper to help provide money to run these services.
The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974 for its association with Fuller, whose publication of Woman in the Nineteenth Century in the 1840s has been described by her biographer Karen Antony as "the first considered statement of feminism in this country".[4]

Authors get writers block. They hit a wall, a creative blockage whereby they simply cannot write, no matter how hard they try. Journalists don't get writers block. How can they? Stories move too quickly, new things happen every day. Journalists have it lucky. There is too much to write about. Right?
One of the few things I have done right (eventually) was managing to get a deal with Harper Collins and having my debut novel "The Darkest Hour" published in the USA and UK. Finally, I did something right. Except I didn't. I made a ton of mistakes as a debut author... so I thought I would list them here...
As feverish NaNoWriMo writers across the globe step back from their overheated keyboards - some with 50,000 words in the bag and others with rather less - how do they keep writing come December when there's no deadline to hit?
The main secret I learned was there's no escaping the fact that the key to getting a book written is hard slog. But if you're going to do it, you may as well do it with copious amounts of cake and good company. I'm already planning my next escape, even if it does mean working on another novel to justify it.
This week I'm not housesitting. Here at home in South Devon I'm writing, creating, running creative writing workshops and musing on one of my favourite topics: creativity. In particular I'm thinking about inspiration for writers. Looking for some suggestions to free up your writing/creativity? Read on.
Getting children to love reading and writing can prove to be a challenge, especially with television, films and games being it's most harsh competitors. Having some family reading time can be very powerful. If your child sees you replacing TV with books then they are more likely to be inspired to get excited about it too.
In the aftermath of the Second World War Tom had to return to his family after spending the duration in Polly's tiny rural village. Circumstances and parents didn't allow the young couple to meet for a year. It was their daily love letters on cheap lined paper torn from exercise books that kept their love alive.
Everyone knows that children's literature can't possibly be high quality, right? It doesn't count as proper literary fiction, does it? It can't make people consider big issues or challenge ideas of genre, can it? This week, the University of Kent's creative writing programme embarrassed itself by its advertising strategy, followed by a series of rather ignorant tweets.
So now that we're into November, a mass project has been taken up by people all across the globe. Yes, all over the world people will be picking up pens and opening up their laptops to whittle away some works of fiction. They say there's a novel in each of us and this is the time to prove whether you can get that novel out of you.

Julie MacCarthy, candidate for District 200 School Board
Courtesy Julie MacCarthy, candidate for District 200 School Board
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
As the parent of a graduating senior, I have direct experience with Oak Park River Forest High School. My daughter had a wonderful experience at the high school that has prepared her for matriculation at some of the nation's best colleges. I am passionately committed to the belief that all students, regardless of their backgrounds, deserve an academically and intellectually fulfilling experience at OPRF and that their high school experience prepares them for future success. I believe:
- All OPRFHS students benefit from attending a public school with an economically and racially diverse student body.
- The school district has a responsibility to make sound fiscal decisions in order to maintain the quality of educational programming over the long-term.
- My educational background, professional experience, and commitment to educational equity make me an excellent candidate to achieve these goals as a member of the OPRFHS Board.
I have lived in Oak Park for more than 20 years and am active in the community. I serve on the Park District of Oak Park Citizen Committee (PDCC), and I volunteer at the Animal Care League and the Food Pantry. I recently finished my doctorate in education; my dissertation was a case study of a high achieving school that serves low-income African American students and that is closing the achievement gap. For the past 14 years I worked for an arts education organization that serves the Chicago Public Schools, and I worked in more than 80 public school across the city every year. I now run my own consulting firm.
I look forward to bring that experience to our community, and I ask for your vote on April 9, 2013.
Julie MacCarthy, Ed.D.
P.S. Please encourage your friends and neighbors to check out my blog: http://juliemaccarthyconsulting.com/

I've known Julie from the business she unsuccessfully ran. I'm sorry Julie, but althougn you're very smart you would be a disruptive force on any board. You're not a team player. You've never been able to hold a job for more than two years. You have some issues that make your ability to get along with others problematic. Good luck in your "consulting" career (euphemism for unemployed).

I agree with you Jim. But, I still would like to move past generalizations and hear from candidates on their specific responses to current concerns we have with D200. That is the only way to figure out who to vote for. Otherwise, what is the point of voting?
Jim from Oak Park
Posted: February 23rd, 2013 11:09 AM
Good question, Speedway. Julie, can you be a politician and hear all the stakeholders? Your educational experience adds stature in the school community, but what's your commitment to voters and taxpayers? Steve Nations, another candidate, put it this way in a Wed. Journal article, " . . . sometimes you need to be an advocate for the school, and sometimes you need to be an advocate for the voters and taxpayers -- and you need the common sense to tell the difference." Will you do that?
Speedway from Oak Park
Posted: February 23rd, 2013 9:30 AM
Julie, what do you think about the current surplus in D200 funds? What do you think should be done with the money? What are your thoughts about reducing the gap? I think you have some excellent credentials to be on the school board but would like to hear your take on some of the issues.

A 52-year-old man was arrested by police for allegedly exposing himself Monday morning to a group of bystanders in a motel parking lot in Bedford Township, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
A witness told police the suspect was yelling and making threats to someone and then pulled down his shorts in the parking lot of the Kirtwood Motel, 6829 Kirtwood Dr., Temperance, police said. The witness said it was an "everyday event" when the man gets drunk, police said.
About five people, some who live at the motel, witnessed the incident, and one man recorded it on his cell phone. The video was turned over to police as evidence.

The Lewisboro Volunteer Ambulance Corps is among the first EMS Volunteer Ambulance Corps in Westchester County authorized to use blood sampling as part of its patient assessment protocols. Pre-hospital blood sugar evaluation is intended to assist in the recognition of abnormal glucose levels and improve the speed with which proper treatment is received. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), along with hyperglycemia, (high blood sugar) are both potentially serious medical conditions. Using a device familiar to diabetics called a Glucometer, which contains a lancet and electronic measuring capability, LVAC EMTs can now quickly detect blood glucose anomalies enabling them to provide early treatment and speedier triage decisions.
"Prehospital glucometry is a safe, effective and minimally invasive procedure used by EMS professionals around the country," commented LVAC Captain Robert Stoddard. "A variety of medical conditions and patient presentations warrant prehospital blood glucose analysis. An altered mental status is the most common adult chief complaint that triggers a blood glucose measurement by EMS personnel," he added. Before this policy change by the New York State Emergency Medical Advisory Committee authorizing EMTs to provide blood sugar analysis in the field, only Paramedics were authorized to do the testing. According to Captain Stoddard, LVAC applied for the authorization and has completed all the requirements and training of LVAC's EMTs and Crew Chiefs. He acknowledged the "excellent" support of Dr. David Zuckerberg in managing the application process. Dr. Zuckerberg is a member of Northern Westchester Hospital's Emergency Department and also serves as LVAC's Medical Control physician contact.
