Unknown Mortal Orchestra Find 'Trouble' for New Record
Unknown Mortal Orchestra Find 'Trouble' for New Record
Ruban Nielson's 2011 went by in a blur. The debut of his psych-leaning outfit Unknown Mortal Orchestra had perked plenty of ears, his solo project had morphed into a full band and non-stop touring ensued. One night (the details are understandably fuzzy), he sat in a hotel room with a few other people. It was late. This girl he'd never met had shown up bearing "party favors" and spent the rest of the night rambling, upset about one thing or another, her mouth and mascara both running.
"And then at one point during the night," Nielson recalls during a recent chat with Rolling Stone, "she said, 'I dunno, man – I think I'm just so good at being in trouble.'"
Unknown Mortal Orchestra Embrace Club Life on 'Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)' (Little Dragon Remix)
The words hit Nielson like a brick, leaving a dent the shape of an indelible pop hook. Not missing a beat, he sang it back to her, and immediately regretted it. Not because he felt bad about flouting social mores – there were other songwriters in the room, and this nugget was too good to let slip away.
"I knew right then," Nielson says, "that I maybe had the single." A subtle soul number with shrewd chord changes and Nielson's falsetto sidling alongside, "So Good at Being in Trouble" is an undeniable standout from Unknown Mortal Orchestra's follow-up album, II, out February 5th (Jagjaguwar).
The other tracks on II have similar origins. Throughout that exhilarating, exhausting 2011, often late at night at a party or bar, a lyric or melody would come to Nielson and he'd retreat to the band's van or a quiet room to record it into his phone. Last February, the native New Zealander returned to his new home in Portland, Oregon totally wiped out but eager to record. He set up a studio in the basement and went to work making sense of the snippets.
"I put more thought into arrangements. The songs kind of take you on more of a journey," says Nielson of the new album, contrasting it to the immediacy of the first, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, which "was just bombarding you with these hooks. For the second record I wanted it to be more thoughtful, more dynamic, and have the hooks be there when they're there."
Nielson also wanted to emphasize the soul, funk and R&B elements he believes make Unknown Mortal Orchestra unique among his psych- and garage peers like Ty Segall, Tame Impala and Thee Oh Sees. While on the first LP he cribbed breakbeats from hip-hop and R&B tracks, this time he tapped his brother Kody and Greg Rogove (now the band's official drummer) to construct sturdy beats bolstered by the stout bounce of Jack Portrait's bass. The supple low end on cuts like "One at a Time" and "Monki" provided the perfect foundation for Nielson's confident warble and the serpentine contour of his chord progressions and guitar solos, a style initially inspired by secret practice sessions with Ry Cooder and Frank Zappa recordings while he was a member of the punk group the Mint Chicks.
Unsurprisingly, II took the shape of one of those road-weary all-nighters. "In a lot of ways it was the most extreme, fun time I've ever had, but obviously emotionally it was . . . " Nielson trails off, then adds with a laugh: "You know, when you're coming down and the reality hits you that maybe none of this stuff actually matters.

IDC and Microsoft released, today, a study that shows that the Microsoft Partner Program is enabling security partners to be more successful compared to programs from other vendors. The study finds that partners participating in Microsoft's SSA and SSC programs experience over one-third higher profit margins, three times more revenue growth, one to four points lower sales and marketing overheads, and are getting four to five times more customers.
The study, commissioned by Microsoft, attributes partners' success to Partner Program including the investments and enhancements Microsoft made to its partner ecosystem in July 2007, including a $50 million+ investment in sales, marketing, and training and the SCC program.
Microsoft also announced that, to date, over 6,000 partners have joined its SSA program, and the company is making additional enhancements to the SCC program.
The complete IDC study is available here.

Article: Impact of the consensus conference on the ambulatory treatment of bronchiolitis in infants: A three-year study in the North department (France)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess the impact of guidelines of the consensus conference in September 2000 on the ambulatory management of acute bronchiolitis in infants. Prospective multicenter study, in four hospitals in the North department in France, during three epidemic periods: the winter preceding the consensus conference and the two following winters. All the infants between 30 days and 2 years of age, admitted to an emergency care unit for a first or second episode of bronchiolitis were included. The infants' characteristics and ambulatory treatments prescribed were collected. Six hundred thirty-eight infants were included: 169 before the conference and 469 after. Seventy-seven percent had consulted previously and a prescription had been drawn-up for 77%. There was no difference in the frequency of drug prescriptions or physiotherapy between the three periods. After the conferences, inhaled beta(2) agonists were still prescribed in 21% of cases, inhaled corticosteroids in 15%, oral corticosteroids in 34%, antibiotics in 53% and mucolytics in 54%. Physiotherapy was prescribed for 58% of the infants. Two years after the consensus conference, the ambulatory treatment of bronchiolitis has no changed, corticosteroids, beta(2) agonists, antibiotics and mucolytics are still prescribed in excess. Further studies, within a few years, are required to reassess the application of the guidelines, not only in outpatient but also in inpatient management.La Presse Médicale 03/2005; 34(4):277-81. · 1.08 Impact Factor

Dollar General, ex-VP settle lawsuit over departure
Dollar General and one of its former top operations executives have settled a lawsuit over the severance payments associated with his late-2010 departure from the deep discounter.
Lee Downing sued Dollar General in December of 2010 after the retailer told him the separation agreement the two parties had signed two months earlier — after the working relationship between him and his supervisor had broken down — was invalid. Because the sides had styled Downing's departure as being "without cause," the company had agreed to pay Downing a package that included accrued stock options and was worth $1.7 million.
But company officials soon after contended that Downing, who had joined the company from Family Dollar in 2005, had misled them about his contacts with other potential employers as he was about to exit Dollar General. They declared the separation agreement invalid, meaning Downing — who soon after was named senior vice president of operations at Tractor Supply — was due only $236,500.
After a request this week from both parties, U.S. District Court Judge Todd Campbell dismissed the case Thursday. Details of the settlement between Downing and Dollar General have not been made public. Bob Mendes, who represented Downing along with Frost Brown Todd colleague Michael Ewing, said he could not comment on the settlement. Dollar General counsel Steven Riley of Riley Warnock & Jacboson did not return a request for comment.
The dispute between Downing and Goodlettsville-based Dollar General has its roots in the spring of 2010, when Executive Vice President Kathleen Guion challenged Downing, who at the time oversaw more than 2,400 Dollar General stores in seven states, to improve the appearance and cleanliness of a group of stores in Birmingham and Montgomery, Ala. But Downing characterizes that interaction as "berating him unnecessarily and using a great deal of profanity."
That summer, Guion visited the Alabama cities a second time and was still dissatisfied with their overall condition. Dollar General says she sent Downing a number of emails to voice her frustration, messages Downing says "again berated him unnecessarily and drastically overstated his and his division's performance issues." Soon after, Downing went to Guion to say he could no longer work for her because he considered her treatment of him to be hostile and disrespectful.
Together with Dollar General Chief People Officer Bob Ravener, Downing set about preparing his departure — with his accrued but encumbered equity — from the company. A restaurant meeting between the two men on Oct. 1, 2010, is where the case crystallizes. Dollar General says Ravener, allegedly concerned Downing was leveraging the friction with Guion to get a sweetheart deal rather than resign, asked Downing if he had another job lined up.
Ravener says Downing told him no — "In fact, Downing stated that he 'would be starting from the beginning,' or words to that effect" — but Downing says he answered by saying other companies were indeed interested in him. As it turns out, Tractor Supply had made him a job offer the day before. When they found out about Downing's new position a few weeks later, Dollar General execs labeled his action fraudulent and dishonest.
Guion announced in the summer of 2011 that she would retire a year later after transitioning into a broader planning role for a few months.

I DESIRE to preface this chapter by some statements regarding the legitimacy and rights of private wealth. Both have sure standing ground in Christian ethics. Nothing can be more irrational, nothing less justified, than an indiscriminate outcry against the owners of wealth. The man who by honest skill, industry, and thrift, amasses for himself a fortune must, in the very process, practice and develop certain qualities which in themselves are essential traits of Christian character. I find a list of these qualities nowhere better suggested than by Dr. W. M. Clow. "Industry, fidelity, foresight, careful attention to details, self-denial, and a wise regard to a man's spending and pleasuring. No man can achieve riches without a constant self-control, a careful providence, and a costly observance of the virtues which all men find difficult."
No interpretation of Christ's utterances concerning wealth and some of these are very severe can be justly construed as a condemnation of wealth per se. That Christ did most vividly portray the responsibilities of wealth is beyond question. He uniformly preached its possession as a grave moral trust. For its use its holder in every instance is held strictly responsible as a steward who must give account of his stewardship.
The rich must be rich in alms for the needy. It is their privilege to create and contribute to appliances for the development and education of artistic, technical, and special gifts, gifts which may finally serve the common good. As elsewhere indicated, it is difficult to conceive how the finer cultural interests of society can either be best or well served without a liberal consecration of privately directed wealth. Even Mr. Hillquit acknowledges that for most of its special and valuable endowments society is indebted to the gifts of private wealth. He says, "To this capitalist system of wealth distribution we are largely indebted for our libraries, our hospitals, rescue missions, and charitable institutions of all descriptions."
Its investment in the development of industrial and commercial interests is an entirely legitimate use of wealth. None is to be more respected than he who uses his trained experience and talent in the development of legitimate and useful business. Such a man is a benefactor.
A fact worthy of special emphasis is that in periods of industrial depression many privately owned enter-prises are conducted principally with reference to the good of labor. Many such enterprises, while paying their labor the highest wages of the market, are producing only the narrowest margins of profit, if not even suffering financial loss. In some cases the demand for the commodity dealt with is so limited, or, as in most cases, the competition of business is so keen and close, as to make impossible any special division of earnings as above actual wages paid to labor employed.
This benevolent course on the part of ownership so largely characterizes the average business world as to make it little less than an atrocity for the socialistic writer, or organized labor, to indiscriminately charge the business proprietor as being a robber of the poor.
The man who assumes the capitalistic risk of con-ducting a business, paying his labor the highest wage of the market, thereby leaving for himself only a legitimate income and a narrow margin for capital invested, merits commendation as a benefactor in his community.
Christ did not condemn the possession of wealth per se. His pictures, however, of the perils of wealth are so appalling as almost to make one feel that it is better and safer to be poor than to be rich. The rich man who trusteth in his riches cannot hope to enter into the kingdom of heaven. It were easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. An insidious deceit-fulness attends the lust of wealth which chokes the very word of life out of the human soul. The rich man who trusted to the abundance of his treasure, and, therefore, proposed for himself a life of banqueting and pleasure is characterized by Christ as a fool. And he adds, "So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God." A young man, so outwardly attractive in character as especially to challenge the interest of Jesus, came to him asking what he should do to gain eternal life. Christ said unto him, "Sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven : and come, follow me." And when he heard this he was very sorrowful, for he was very rich. Saint Paul says, "They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition." Saint James pronounces the most caustic woes against the rich who oppress the poor and defraud the laborer.
The trend of New Testament teaching unmistakably makes the possession of wealth a great responsibility. Its spirit demands of the rich that they treat their wealth as a moral trust. No rich proprietor has a right to revel in a surplus of wealth while those who have reaped down his fields or toiled for wage at his machines are forced to do with the barest necessities of life. The capitalist who employs an army of labor at a barely living wage and who inordinately swells his private fortune makes no atonement for such a wrong by ostentatiously founding and endowing institutions for the public.
Selfishness is a great foe of social and moral progress. Between the enlightened Christian conscience and worldly selfishness there is, and must be, irrepressible conflict. Selfishness detrimental to both individual and social welfare is not confined to any one class or condition of men. It is as positively a characteristic of the poor as of the rich, of those socially most helpless as of those in privileged life. Selfishness is a great detraction from character. However environed, no one can come to his best save as, by the transforming power of higher motives, the spirit of selfishness the kind of selfishness which seeks its own end regardless of the interest of others has been dethroned from the life.
In all the range of human motives there is probably no single factor in connection with which selfishness shows its moral obliquity, or its heartless despotism, more supremely than in the acquisition and uses of money. The tyrannies of selfishness have marked the pathway of history with tragedies. It is the foundation upon which all despotisms have been planted. It has been the breeder of slaveries, of castes, of spurious aristocracies, and of all kinds of invidious distinctions which all through the ages have disfranchised the multitudes from participation in the higher attainments of manhood. It has been the fruitful corrupter of morals, the betrayer of the innocent, and, clad in priestly robes, it has audaciously performed its functions at the very altar dedicated to the high purposes of religion.
Selfishness is the one power which through the ages has sent right to the scaffold, and has kept wrong upon the throne, yet it has been reserved for this most en-lightened and privileged age of civilization to erect on the basis of money one of the most widespread, arrogant, and heartless of despotisms. There never was a despotism that held under its dominion a larger census of defenseless subjects than the money power of this Christian age.
It is not the purpose of this discussion to deny the legitimacy of money, nor yet to inveigh against large capitalistic combinations in promotion of world-serving enterprises. I do, however, distinctly challenge the moral legitimacy of capitalistic monopolies which more and more include within the control of huge and close corporations the industries of a nation; corporations directed by a privileged few, and from whose counsels and revenues the masses are excluded, and whose combined power and policies make it practically impossible for men of smaller capital successfully to enter the field in competitive enterprise.
I know something of what is said in justification of monopolies. They profess to serve the greater community with the best product and at prices as reason-able as is consistent with the most economical creation and distribution of the product itself. They claim to be able to regulate the quantities of production, the prices of sale, and thus to give stability to industry and to the market. And if it be true that the great combinations exclude a multitude of lesser capitalists from entering successfully into businesses directed by them-selves, it is claimed as a compensating offset that the really capable, those who might otherwise become proprietors, are sought to fill responsible and remunerative, though subordinate, positions in the combinations. Thus the trusts appear ostensibly in the role of philanthropic guarantors against financial want in behalf of those whom they select as having valuable business and executive ability for their service. So a multitude of salaried men, who are notified by a decree as inexorable as fate that they will never be permitted to enter business for themselves, may have reason for devout gratitude that through the sovereign power, wisdom, and beneficence of the gigantic machine, they will be permitted to live in physical comfort throughout their days.
Who with his soul thoroughly imbued with Christ's conception of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man does not feel, even if he is unable to define, the great moral wrong inhering in the situation ? The very basic assumptions of capitalistic and selfish monopoly are an affront against all the better ideals of civilization. As institutions these monopolies are a menace to democratic government. Their practical tendency is to install over the very life of the nation a soulless, arrogant, and irresistible oligarchy.
No less able and eminent an authority than President Wilson in his recent articles on "The New Freedom" has vigorously voiced the dangers inhering in the situation. He says :
The life of the nation has grown infinitely variant. It does not center now upon questions of governmental structure or of the distribution of governmental powers. It centers upon questions of the very structure and operation of society itself, of which government is only the instrument. . . . A new nation seems to have been created which the old formulas do not fit or afford a vital interpretation of.... There is a sense in which in our day the individual has been submerged. . .. While most men are thus submerged in the corporation, a few, a very few, are exalted to power which as individuals they could never have wielded. To-day the every-day relationships of men are largely with great impersonal concerns, with organizations, not with other individual men. ... Our laws still deal with us on the basis of the old system. . . . What this country needs above everything else is a body of laws which will look after the men who are on the make rather than the men who are already made. . . . No country can afford to have its prosperity originated by a small controlling class. . . . In the new order government and business must be associated closely.... But it is an intolerable thing that the government of the republic should have got so far out of the hands of the people, should have been captured by interests which are special and not general. In the train of this capture follow the troops of scandals, wrongs, indecencies, with which our politics swarm. . . . Why are we in the presence, why are we on the threshold, of a revolution? . . . Don't you know that this country from one end to the other believes that something is wrong? .. . We are in a temper to reconstruct economic society, as we were once in a temper to reconstruct political society, and political society itself may undergo a radical modification in the process. . . . We are upon the eve of a great reconstruction. It calls for creative statesmanship.'
The single fact which I wish to emphasize in this casual discussion of the selfishly monopolistic corporations is that in so far as they dominate the character and policies of our economic civilization they stand directly opposed to the progress of vital Christianity and of true church life in the community. Their spirit and policies are in direct antagonism to the real brother-hood of man in Christ Jesus. These statements may seem like a hard arraignment; but, if so, the arraignment is intended against the tendency and effect of a certain type of institutions rather than against the personal character or motives of individuals who may be interested in promoting these institutions. I am quite aware of all that may be said in commendation of great benevolences which have been initiated by men grown rich through the monopolistic corporation.
I know something of the vast endowments which from the same general sources have been conferred upon universities, libraries, hospitals, and other benevolent public institutions. I have no doubt of the great intrinsic values inhering in such endowments as reenforcing needed agencies for promoting the public welfare. But, after all, I am impressed that, in the light of a clear and unprejudiced moral judgment, it must be conceded that the very ability of so many private individuals to bestow phenomenally large endowments upon public institutions is itself a symptom of an unideal, an essentially abnormal, condition of the economic world.
With reference to great numbers of individuals promoting and benefiting by the monopolistic trust both exceptional ability and high personal character must be promptly conceded. That they are conscientious, benevolent, and in many cases men of rare insight, men often of exceptional personal and social charm, is readily to be admitted. But these men have been intensely educated in the direction of their own pursuits. They see things in their own light. They are largely the creation of the very interests to which they have so fully given their devotion. The very interests which have absorbed them, and the exceptional gains which they have realized, have filled their vision with a lure which has given both color and limitation to their social and moral judgments.
Not all great capitalists are to be indiscriminately condemned. They, in their very monopolistic ambitions, in their essentially selfish modes of life, in their practical isolation of themselves into a select oligarchy in these, and in kindred qualities so conspicuously represented in the lives of the extremely rich, we see only the fateful product of a plutocratic philosophy. That such men are often benevolent is a testimony to their essential humanity. In the large benefactions which they now and then bestow the story of at least their partial triumph over motives which would prompt them to be utterly hard and sordid is told.
I recur to a single sentence used by President Wilson. Speaking of the fact that the government of the republic has been so largely "captured by interests which are special and not general," he says : "In the train of this capture follow the troops of scandals, wrongs, indecencies, with which our politics swarm." President Wilson speaks as a man of large observation of, and participation in, public life. Presumably, he is not indulging in mere rhetorical fulminations. He knows something of methods used by great corporate interests in connection with politics and legislation.
The financial interests have sought and secured large political control. The venal voter has been bribed at the ballot-box, and legislative majorities have been purchased. Through practical control of lawmaking bodies great sources of natural wealth have been as-signed to corporate interests without corresponding compensation to the public treasury or to the general welfare. Exclusive and most valuable franchises have been secured at but trifling costs, while the public, who should be the larger sharer in the benefits of these franchises, is forced to pay high tribute to these private corporations for its privileges. The press, omnipresent in influence, and which ought to be one of the most free, fearless, and illuminating teachers of righteousness, which ought to stand in unflinching advocacy of the rights of all men, is largely venalized by, and its great powers prostituted to, corporate greed. It goes, and should go, without the saying, that, morally measured, there are grades and grades of corporate interests. But still in the interests of greed essentially the most infamous and powerful combinations are effected. The liquor interest, highly capitalized, is not only enlisted in the murderous mission of making drunkards by the wholesale, but it is in leagued alliance with the traffickers in prostitution and the recruiting agencies of white slavery. Traffics in these nefarious missions are so lucrative that their promoters stop not short of attempts to corrupt the municipal courts, and to bribe the officers of public safety into collusion and silence. The role of iniquitous traffics and of evil agencies, all instituted and employed in the interests of mammon, is too long for review. The whole list furnishes a dismal, frightful, and tragic arraignment of human nature.
But perhaps, for our present purpose, the most pertinent phase of the larger question is that which is now staged in the relations between capital and labor. Aside from the two great forces which may not improperly be designated as capital and labor, there is a large other section which is sometimes named as the "middle class." With this latter class we need not here concern ourselves.
In the last sixty years the wealth of this nation has increased well up toward two thousand per cent. Our present national wealth does not fall far, if any, short of $140,000,000,000. This figure is something amazing, and yet it is likely to be vastly increased in near decades to come. It may in a general way be safely said that the vast wealth-producing power of America came hand in hand with the general introduction of machinery. To the economic student it is but a truism to say that with the introduction of machinery the relations of labor to capital were not only radically, but well-nigh universally, changed.
The introduction of machinery meant the passing out of the private artisan. It meant the advent of the big factory and the big capitalistic combination. It was the prophecy, quick of culmination, of what we now see, namely, upon the one hand, huge corporations in control of railroads, factories, and all the implements of production; upon the other hand, a vast army of labor empty-handed, waiting at the gates of the corporation to sell its toil.
The situation does not require much analysis. It is evident that in any industrial conflict the corporation will have immense advantage over labor. Allan L. Benson calls attention to the fact that "The Stanley Steel Committee's investigation showed that by a system of interlocking directorates, eighteen men control $35,000,000,000 of industrial property." The corporations are in position to set the price both upon products and upon labor. The corporations, without reference to larger public needs, have the power to limit production to the line of most satisfactory profit to their directors. The corporations can water their stock, either for the purpose of selling at an exorbitant price to an innocent public, or to cover up the appearance of earning in-ordinate dividends on capital invested.
The corporations can at any time close a factory, and thus throw a thousand men out of employment, and the men are helpless. The corporations, many of them, use automatic machinery which can readily be worked by women and children. The labor of women and children is cheaper than that of men. And so where the State has not interfered and the State has interfered in too few cases-delicate women and sensitive growing children are overtaxed in the relentless demand to keep pace with machinery. The corporations, by the monopoly of raw material and control of the markets, .have largely succeeded in suppressing competition as against themselves. But real competition is still left to do its depressing work in the labor world. Skilled and organized labor is able to take reasonable care of its own interests in the wage market, though its margins of surplus are always narrow.
But aside from skilled and organized labor there is always a vast contingent of less skilled or unskilled labor which is absolutely dependent upon employment for daily bread. Under corporate regulation of the labor market, there are at best always in this country a million unemployed persons. In times of trade depression this number is likely to be greatly increased. This means that with certain grades of labor, at times with pretty much all grades, there is always a desperate condition of want. The laborer is compelled to sell his labor at any price he can command, however meager the price. It means in multitudes of cases that wives and children must all seek some outside work in order that the family may live at all.
There is an enormous aggregate of prosperity in the country, but as between the corporations and the labor world, the division of this prosperity is inordinately one-sided. The representatives of the corporations are the capitalists. They control the banks, own the palaces, the pleasure yachts, the high-priced automobiles, and they command for themselves and families every material comfort and luxury which money may purchase. Their children may enjoy the most costly educational advantages, all the benefits of travel, and they are recognized as the heirs of a privileged class.
On the other hand, there is a great army, outnumbering many times the corporate capitalists, which is made up of simply wage-earners. This army neither owns the factories in which it toils, nor does it own the tools of production. It is made up of empty-handed workers. For the most part, it has no ownership in the humble dwellings which shelter its families. Its bank account, at best, furnishes but a frail barrier between its members and the disasters of want and sickness. Its children enter life, many of them greatly handicapped by poor physical and moral inheritance. Nearly all of them are under the social and industrial doom of adversity. The wages of the rank and file of this industrial army are inexorably held to a low level, not even in the most favorable cases such as at all proximately to permit such expenditure and luxury as that which may be easily affordable by the capitalist. This army always marches on the borders of dependence and want. Its members look forward, if at all, to an old age when they shall either be the wards of their children or of public charity. When the slender stipend of their wages ceases to come, multitudes of them look out into a world, God only knows how dreary.
And, if this army is one of discontent, who shall wonder! It is a simple irony to say that these men are receiving far better wages, and they enjoy more physical comfort, than were ever known to their fathers. If this were true, it would scarcely amount to a mitigation in the case. It might be said of the capitalists that they too are receiving many times over the emoluments which came to their fathers, and for this reason they ought to be more than content. They ought on this account promptly to initiate policies of liberal distribution of their surplus revenues for the benefit of their less privileged neighbors.
The truth is that the laborers live in a different world from that with which their fathers were familiar. If in this age of multiplied facilities and conveniences of life, factors which ought to be within the reach of all, and which ought to add real values to every life, they were content to live just as their fathers did, they would be less human than they are. But when the changed conditions are fairly measured it does not appear true that the modern laborer receives better wages or is better conditioned. The scale of the fathers' living bore no comparison with the necessitated high costs of the present day. The father, if a tradesman, owned the tools of his craft, had his own workshop and his own customers. The worker of to-day is the owner of no tools, of no shop, and it would be impossible for him to compete against modem machinery for customers in any craft.
The naked and tragic fact is that since civilization began there has been no class of nominally free workers who have been more absolutely at the mercy of an impersonal, irresponsible, and irresistible despotism than are the laborers to-day under corporate employment. It is no wonder that enlightened writers, analyzing carefully the whole situation, have characterized the domination of corporate capital over labor as the ful novel of recent issue, turns upon the contest between a wealth both heartless and shoddy in its shameful treatment of poor employees in the "Heth Works" and the spirit of a poor young physician of transparently beautiful Christian character who gave himself in continual sacrifice and finally to a tragic death in the service of the poor.
The hero of Basil King's The Way Home, himself a child of the rectory, incensed by the treatment which his own father received in old age from rich parishioners, and finally entering upon business life with the policy of considering no one's interest but his own, becoming rich, says one day to his morally sensitive wife that even she would not have married him if he had not had money. He says to her: "You cared for me because I am what I am. And I am what I am because I've got money. How I got it is secondary to you, as it is secondary to everybody else. The world is full of high-principled, right-meaning people who haven't words enough to express their scorn of the man who grows rich by what they choose to consider improper means, but who, when it comes to personal dealings, can't show him too plainly how much they respect him."
And then at her protest he adds : "I don't put you lower, darling, than I put the whole order of bishops, priests, and deacons, and all the other idealists who are so easily outraged by our brutal modern ways of growing rich. They're awfully fluent in words; but once get rich, and" he snapped his fingers "you can do what you like with them."
One of the most vivid of Mrs. Humphry Ward's recent books, Richard Meynell, furnishes a plot which turns upon the same conditions of conflict between plutocracy and the individual's right of free thought as are involved in the instances above cited.
The Rev. William Muir, of Scotland, who has written one of the ablest books which have yet appeared on Christianity and Labor, himself the son of an artisan, and having had in a long pastoral experience close and sympathetic contact with labor, says :
There is nothing which is more fruitful in class hatred and civil war than the caste which still prevails in the Christian Church. Nothing has done more to promote the growth of the anti-Christian spirit which prevails among many sections of the working classes. Every new set of statistics of church attendance shows an ever smaller proportion of the community at public worship, and with the exception of the very rich the working classes seem more completely estranged than any other section. In some towns it is comparatively rare for genuine working-men to be connected with a church. Even what are paraded as working-class congregations are composed for the most part, so far as the men are concerned, and they are always the minority, of clerks, foremen, and small shopkeepers, and seldom have any considerable number of artisans. . . . As a workingman who has been among workingmen all my days, and the son of a Christian artisan, I cannot pretend to be surprised that the laborers of our land cannot see that the Church of the living God has been their friend and champion, as it should have been... . Even yet caste is nowhere more powerful than in the Church of Christ. Nowhere is money mightier, and it seldom happens that inconvenient questions are asked as to how the money was made. It is enough that it be there to insure respect and influence. Nor is there anywhere more of that patronage of the poor which is quite as hateful as truckling to the rich. As for the results of all this, there is overwhelming testimony to the alienation of the working classes from the churches.
To these testimonies cited from the prominent current literature of the day indefinite other statements could be added from like sources. This consensus of statement concerning the undue influence of plutocratic wealth in the counsels of the Church is no accident. The authors furnishing this testimony are among the foremost seers of the times. They have high gifts for interpreting the social and industrial thought-movements of the age for practical busy men and women. This united testimony is significant. It points to a great fundamental necessity on the part of the Church to revise its own spirit and methods. It is really a call to the Church to seek renewal of its life in the Spirit of its Master.

I am a beginning sewer. I just finished my very first sewing project (Meringue Skirt from Colette Sewing Handbook). I was trying to sew the second project from the same book (Pastille Dress) but had absolutely no luck in fitting after making two muslins. I reckon I should try to sew some simple tops first before attempting dresses again.
I found Sewaholic's Belcarra Blouse and Grainline Studio's Scout Tee online. Both are dartless woven tops with short sleeves. I love them both but want to pick one and stick with it for a short while, making a few versions of the same top to build up skills and confidence.
My question is: for those who have made both Belcarra and Scout, which one you would recommend to a beginner? Or is there any short-sleeved tops (preferably with instant pdf download so no Big 4 I'm afraid) that you think perfect for beginners?
Thank you very much for your help!
It also depends on your figure type, honestly. I'm right on the edge of plus-sized, fairly busty with broad shoulders, and the grainline scout did absolutely nothing for my figure. I've made up the Belcarra and had more luck with that one (haven't reviewed it yet, sorry) as raglan sleeves seem to suit me more. If you're more on the slender side without a pronounced bust then the grainline may be more successful for you.
I just made the Grainline scout yesterday and finished it in about 2.5 hours including piecing the pdf pattern together. Lovely, simple, clean pattern.
I have not made the Belcarra but with a cursory look, the sleeves seem easier to insert (not as much easing required with raglan sleeves I believe?).
It will probably come down to personal choice and what new skills you feel like tackling and acquiring :)
Raglan sleeves (the Belcarra) should be easier to insert than set-in sleeves (the Scout). Be aware though, if you're not already, that Sewaholic drafts for a small-busted pear-shaped figure.
If you're a bit busty, you might also want to consider something like the Colette Sencha blouse, which has cut-on sleeves, and would be easier than the other two.

I'm talking about the clearos and the only dark juice I use is coffee so you don't think the hot water will work with that? What would be the worst thing that would happen :-/ sorry very new to this and thank you for your help.Lots of folks use hot water instead of alcohol. If the juice you're using isn't too dark, it'll work ok.
Thank You I will try that but if I don't get all of the vinegar out that would be a new flavor 8-} if it doesn't dry out completely would that harm anything if I refilled it with a juice? I'm thinking the juice contains some amount of water, myself I will use the alcohol but I have a relative that lives with me right now and he is a recovering alcoholic and also getting into ecigs and I for sure don't want him around vodka at this time.@back2front You could try soaking the Clearos in some vinegar for a while. To help dissolve the juice. Then try flushing it out really well with hot water. That might work okay. Will probably take a little while to dry though.I used to use vinegar to clean my CE2s when I was using them, and it worked fine, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for the clearos.
specially when theres thirsty kids in africa :P :Pwhat I cant drink the alcohol??? it sounds like a waste of good bloody marry
Thanks for the heads up. I just used it to sample the juice. I really like it but I think I need either a dedicated tank for it or see if it vapes well in carts.@TAP352....if you are using the Vision Clearo...be careful! I believe that is made with poly carbonate...and if it is...cinnamon can crack the tank!! So can citrus and cola. Just a head's up.
I'm cleaning clearomizers. I'm pretty sure the site I bought them calls them Vision Ego Clearomizers. I find it annoying every website hast to brand these things with their own name. They should keep it standard and call it one thing.@TAP352 I don't know what kind of cartos you're cleaning. I use CE2s, which I take apart. I dry the wicks completely with a butane lighter, so they are completely dry when I refill them.
emeleste is correct, mind me I'm still only a few months into vaping and now only a few weeks into tanks. You have to admit it's a little confusing and itimadating at first. When I was lurking in that massive thread about tanks I was googling some of the terms you guys where throwing out and I would get different results. Not blaming you guys blaming the companies that rebrand them with their own special name.The "clearomizers" that TAP352 is talking about...I'm pretty sure...are the Vision eGo Clearomizer, also known on one large and popular site as the "Vision Stardust". There is an 808 version at that site, as well as the 510 eGo type. Elsewhere, where they are KR808D-1 threaded I know of "iTurbo Clearomizer", "X2 Clearomizer" and "VaporClears". They look like this:They don't leak, do not require a syringe or any special tool to fill and are "top coil" with very short wicks.
yeah the ones i got dont need a syringe too... but they do make it easier, right?Just got one of these and although a syringe is not needed, it is easier to fill with one.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

[artist id="1090″]Janet Jackson[/artist] paid loving tribute to late brother Michael Jackson at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in September. But on Sunday night (November 22) at the American Music Awards, it was all Janet.
The singer's powerhouse singing-and-dancing clinic opened the show and included the new single "Make Me," a song featured on her recently released greatest hits collection, Janet: Number Ones, as well as a trip through her back catalog, leaning heavily on Control. The singer performed on a night when Michael is nominated for five awards, including Artist of the Year.
Opening in silhouette, Janet and her dancers bounded into "Miss You Much" as she skipped across the stage, throwing off some of her classic side-to-side shuffles and head fakes while wearing a buckskin outfit and brown suede boots. Though the outfit featured a plunging neckline, it was somewhat demure for the artist known as much for her provocative outfits as her chart dominance.
After a bit of "What Have You Done for Me Lately," she busted into "If," cribbing a move from her brother and grabbing a crotch … hers and that of a male dancer. Jackson then slid into the new single, "Make Me," a fun-time disco jam that returns to her high-energy early singles and features a lyrical hat-tip to Michael's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."
Crowd shots found members of the Black Eyed Peas, brother Jermaine Jackson, Mary J. Blige and Carrie Underwood cheering Jackson on during the fast-paced routine.
The medley ended with the hyped-up "Together Again" as Janet stood alone at center stage, smiling as the audience showered her with applause.

The Left Can Seize the High Ground
Take a deep breath, grit your teeth, put on a cheery smile: next Thursday, there is no alternative. This Labour government has been an outrage to many decent, liberal minded people. Its record on civil liberties is execrable; its attitude to immigrants borders on the racist; its approach to criminal justice would have seemed beyond polite debate throughout the 1980s. Its prosecution of the Kosovo war was a bungled exercise in arrogant do-goodery; its support of US policy on Iraq has caused untold deaths and misery. Devolution has been besmirched by a record that, in almost every other respect, mocks democracy: the use of the union machine vote to impose its favourites; the insistence on an appointed House of Lords; the extension of the quango state; the apology for a Freedom of Information Act. The courting of big business and the Murdoch press has been almost comical in its intensity. The failure to form a coherent environmental policy (which, after a fashion, even President Bush has managed) argues a lack of courage and vision.
On all these issues, the Tories would only outrage us more. Yet a vote for Tony Blair on Thursday is not a vote for the lesser of evils. This government has achieved a profound shift in terms of British political debate. Anybody who doubts that should look across the Atlantic, where a new president has revived the Reagan-Thatcher tax-cutting agenda and the drive towards a smaller state. His proposed tax cuts, moreover, will benefit the rich to a hugely disproportionate extent. (According to one estimate, the richest 1 per cent of Americans would get 45 per cent of the value of the cuts.) Here, by contrast, a shadow minister flees into hiding when he hints that the Tories, if elected, might go beyond the [pound]5bn of cuts that they have publicly proposed. Labour, however belatedly, has made the link between improved public services and taxation. It has decisively halted, though not yet reversed, the ideological drift towards a smaller state.
This is of far more importance than is generally acknowledged. …

Masahiro Tanaka pitched into the fifth inning and impresed his new catcher, Brian McCann. / Tommy Gilligan, USA TODAY Sports
TAMPA â?? Brian McCann was extremely excited to come to the ballpark Sunday, when he would have a chance to catch up with several of his pals on the Atlanta Braves.
Then his day got even better once he crouched behind the plate.
For the second time in the Grapefruit League season, the New York Yankees' $260 million battery of McCann and right-hander Masahiro Tanaka worked together, once again with encouraging results.
Tanaka allowed three hits and one run in 4 1/3 innings, his longest outing of the spring, striking out six and walking two in the Yankees' 7-4 win over the Braves. The Japanese ace was pulled after striking out Tyler Greene leading off the fifth with his 74th pitch, one short of his prescribed limit.
"He had it all going today,'' McCann said. "He got outs on every pitch that he has. He was working both sides of the plate. â?¦ He's not a comfortable at-bat for anybody.''
The veteran catcher remained stateside, rather than making the trip to Panama for the Legends Series honoring Mariano Rivera, so he could put in some time with Tanaka.
That also allowed McCann to face his former teammates for the first time since signing a five-year, $85 million contract with the Yankees in the offseason. The seven-time All-Star played his first nine seasons in Atlanta and was one of the team's most influential figures on the field and in the clubhouse.
"I grew up in that organization, from 18 years old until 29 years old,'' said McCann, who hit an RBI double Sunday. "I really, really enjoyed my time there.''
While several of the Yankees' stars were in Panama, the Braves brought a more than representative lineup, with six of their regulars starting the game. Among them were Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward and Justin and B.J. Upton, although Freeman and Ryan Doumit faced Tanaka only once each before leaving with finger bruises. Both struck out.
Justin Upton, who went 0-for-2 with a strikeout against Tanaka before homering in the eighth inning, said the Yankees' $175 million import â?? $155 million in a salary plus a $20 million posting fee â?? looked sharp.
"He located well and mixed it up well,'' Upton said, adding that Tanaka's vaunted splitter was as advertised. "He can throw it in the zone, he can throw it down in the zone for an out pitch. It's a versatile pitch for him.''
The one run Tanaka allowed came as a result of a wind-aided RBI double in the fourth by second baseman Tommy La Stella, the only minor-leaguer in Atlanta's starting lineup. He's no slouch, though. La Stella, 25, batted .343 at Class AA Mississippi last season.
Tanaka made full use of his vast repertoire, relying more on breaking pitches than his fastball, which reached 93 mph in the fifth against Greene. But Tanaka's command got spotty after the first two innings, and the Braves started going deep into counts and building up his pitch count.
That's not a big concern in mid-March, but would be an issue if it became a tendency during the season, and it was the one aspect of his performance that bothered Tanaka.
"I wanted to keep the number of pitches a little lower today,'' said Tanaka, who has a 1.93 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 9 1/3 spring innings, "but the result of just giving up one run, I'm pretty satisfied with that.''

text: I removed that completely ridiculous and laughable news post from this morning and decided to replace it with something authentic, juicy and even a little sexy. We've been reporting here for months that a remake to Tobe Hopper/Steven Spielberg's Poltergeist was in the works, we even went as far as to report that Mandate Pictures was attempting to acquire the remake rights to the franchise (read more here). We can now 100% CONFIRM – without a shadow of a doubt – that Mandate Pictures will be producing the remake for MGM. This is a fact, this is done, this is not speculation and it's time to quit denying it (yes you sh-tty fan site). The remake won't happen until post-strike, so watch for news in 2008.

Stock Market & Financial Investment News

February 25, 2013
On The Fly: Midday Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were lower at midday as worries about Italy's election dented European markets and the U.S. averages followed suit. Stocks trading in New York began the session moderately higher as the market looked to extend Friday's gains. The market appeared to be on its way to enjoying a positive session but by mid-morning the gains had been pared and the averages turned mixed. The weakness began following reports indicating Silvio Berlusconi's party may win many senate seats, sparking fear that Italy may abandon its austerity plans... ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., two regional Federal Reserve banks reported data. The Chicago Fed national activity index dropped to -0.32 in January, indicating that economic activity in the month was below average trends. Also, the Dallas Fed's manufacturing index dropped back to 2.2 in February, erasing the 3 point increase to 5.5 in the prior month. In Europe, Italy's markets were volatile as polls indicated that formerly ousted prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is faring better than expected in the nation's general election. In China, HSBC's flash PMI manufacturing index fell to 50.4 in February from 52.3 in January. This was a worse than expected drop, though Lunar New Year may have distorted the February data... COMPANY NEWS: Shares of bookseller Barnes & Noble (BKS) jumped 12% after the company's founder, largest stockholder and Chairman of the Board Leonard Riggio said he plans to propose to purchase all of the assets of the retail business of the company. The company publicly acknowledged the plan for an offer, which will exclude its NOOK e-reader business, and said it will set up a committee to evaluate its best course of action... MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Zynga (ZNGA), which advanced another 12% after rising about 8% on Friday following Nevada's passage of a bill to legalize online gambling in the state. Also higher were shares of Elan (ELN), which rose over 6% to $11.28 near noon after getting an $11 per share takeover offer from Royalty Pharma. Among the noteworthy losers was Affymax (AFFY), which plunged 85% after the company initiated a safety recall for its anemia drug Omontys and the stock was downgraded by at least four analyst firms. Also lower were shares of Dynavax (DVAX), which fell 30% after the FDA said its investigational adult hepatitis B vaccine cannot be approved without further safety evaluation... INDICES: Near noon, the Dow was down 51.87, or 0.37%, to 13,948.70; the Nasdaq was down 3.08, or 0.10%, to 3,158.74; and the S&P 500 was down 5.06, or 0.33%, to 1,510.54.

I always thought that Nikon's "E" series 100mm was an extremely nice lens also, and I had an Olympus 100/2.8 (IIRC) that was my favorite lens of the ones I had in that system (when the OM system was new). (Just edited to mention that I realize these last two examples do not in any way live up to the build quality and durability s-a mentioned for the 105's)
When you bump up a stop, the field of lenses start to drift into different directions more noticeably.
The large number of RF105/2.5s sold obviously proved that the market loved 'em enough to carry the original design and its kids forward with successive SLRs. I prefer the 100/2.8E for its size and weight. It really gives away very little to the 105/2.5. The 105/4 Micro is also sweet but a bit hard to find. I'm still a sucker for the old 85/1.8 and prefer it to the later--and very different design--85/1.8AF. The 85/2 didn't really cut it. Ironically, the new and dirt cheap(<$300) manual Rokinon 85/1.4 is looking like a killer lens on film and digital cameras.

In early spring of 1966, a small group under the leadership of Hugh Key assembled to discuss the possibility of organizing an African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church in Southern Nevada. In April 1966, First A.M.E. Church was fully organized under Rev. Horace Gholston. Services were held in several churches throughout the community until such time as a new church for First A.M.E. could be built. Under the leadership of Rev. Charles Wyatt, dedication services were held for the new church on April 20, 1975. From 1975 through 1994, several ministers were at the helm of First A.M.E., including: Rev. Albert Dunn, Rev. Charles Foster, Rev. J. Parker, Rev. James Allen, Rev. Waldo White, Rev. T. James Baker, Sr., Rev. Samuel Eugene Winn, and Spencer Francis Barrett.
In November 2003, Bishop John R. Bryant assigned Rev. Ralph E. Williamson to take First A.M.E. (a.k.a. FAME) to another level. Rev. "Ralph" challenged the congregation to catch the vision of building a new worship center to meet the needs of a growing congregation and the surrounding community.
First A.M.E. and Rev. Williamson witnessed the groundbreaking of construction for its new house of worship on April 27, 2008. In December 2008, the construction was completed. On Sunday, January 11, 2009, the first worship service was held in our new sanctuary.

EyeToy helped us understand that while people definitely enjoy physical interaction and movement, they also want precise control and a simple, fast, reliable way to trigger actions. We also found that some experiences just feel more natural when holding a tool, or a "prop." Seven years later, we've introduced PlayStation Move, which we think is the ideal combination of both spatial and action/button input. We here at PlayStation are always looking for ways to enhance the gamers' experience and we're looking forward to the new experiences PlayStation Move will enable over the next 10 years.

Every Monday, ESPN football analyst Sean Salisbury provides his picks and keys to the game for ESPN PlayCaller. Want to put Sean's advice to work? Think you know better? Join now and let's see what you've got.
Quarterback with most yards:Tony Romo
Romo is averaging more than 280 yards and he has too many weapons, both on the perimeter and coming out of the backfield.
Quarterback with most touchdowns:Tony Romo
Once again, the Cowboys have too many weapons for this to go the other way. Romo has done well this season with spreading the ball around to all his weapons.
Running back with most touchdowns: Marion Barber III
Barber will be the man tonight. The Cowboys will be able to shut down Marshawn Lynch. When the Cowboys get inside the red zone they will pound the ball with Barber, and I expect him to get at least two rushing touchdowns.
Running back with most yards: Marion Barber III
It will be Barber for all the previous reasons. Too big, too strong and too good. Barber can get you 100 yards on 15 carries and I fully expect him to do that tonight against the Bills.
Receiver with most yards: Terrell Owens
Buffalo will rely on Lee Evans for the big play and the Cowboys know that. However, the Bills don't know that about Terrell Owens. Who do you double team? Even if they do decide to give TO extra attention, he is so physical and confident right now that I don't think they can stop him.
Most field goals: Rian Lindell
The Cowboys won't need field goals because they will score touchdowns. The Bills will be thwarted in the red zone and will most likely be lining up for more field goals than goal-line attempts.
Player with the first touchdown: Marion Barber III
The Cowboys will establish the physical game and pound it in first. I don't think Dallas will overlook this game, so Barber will be let loose.
Fist touchdown: Dallas Cowboys
Enough said. They will be the first to score and the last to score.
Keys to the game for the Bills
Buffalo needs to do something special
The Bills can't go with a conventional lineup against Dallas, as good as the Cowboys have been playing. The Bills are coming off a victory over the Jets, but the Jets aren't the Cowboys. Buffalo must block a punt for a touchdown, return an interception for a touchdown -- something special.
Lee Evans must have a monumental game
For the Bills to have a chance to win, Evans needs 130-140 yards receiving with two touchdowns. He must be the guy to bring the big play back. The Bills must take some chances and Evans is the guy to do that with.
Marshawn Lynch has to be Brian Westbrook-like
He needs to run for 100 yards and even catch balls for 100 yards. Tough task for a rookie who is playing with a rookie quarterback.
Deal with Dallas' defensive pressure
If I were Trent Edwards, I would have studied blitz, blitz, blitz all week long. The Cowboys will put pressure on Edwards all night. He does not want to be on his back for half of it.
Keys to the game for the Cowboys
Be the Cowboys
This is a pretty good game for the Cowboys. They are 4-0 and riding high. They can be conventional and do the things that got them to this point. Run the offense, execute and don't make mistakes. This is a game in which the Cowboys can line up and be very elementary and win the game.
Tony Romo can't get careless
You've played great football the first four games, just do the same. Don't allow the Bills to strip you in the pocket and don't take this game for granted.
Don't give up the long pass
The Cowboys' secondary is banged up. Dallas can be thrown on, as we have seen, so it must contain Evans and not give up too many big plays.
Feature Marion Barber III
There are very few backs that run harder between the tackles. I think this is a 25-carry, two-touchdown guy in this game, and if that happens, the result will be good for the Cowboys.

Advanced/Review Quotes:
Victoria local Robert J. Wiersema's soon-in-bookstores new novella The World More Full of Weeping, establishes an immediately-chilling mood before you've even opened it up.
That mood is set by its well-crafted cover - an eerie glow peeking through dark, fogged woods. It makes for a perfect introduction to the story, which wastes no time to reveal what will be a haunting tone throughout.
Eleven-year-old Brian Page is missing after wandering off into the woods behind his home. The story bounces back between the point of view of Brian's worried father and Brian himself. This is not your average story, nor your typical tale of a missing child. Once again (as he did with Before I Wake in 2006, which went on to be a national bestseller), Wiersema takes readers to a new and unnerving place, complete with spine-tingling chills.
Weeping is an immediately engaging, fully supplementing quick read that brings you back to the days of spooky campfire stories that go on to make for a sleepless night wandering around your own imagination. This novella is a refreshing break amongst the monotony of boringly average, everyday reads. It coasts along naturally with Wiersema's vivid writing, keeping you glued to the page.
If you have yet to have read his debut bestseller, be sure to check it out as well.
—Jillayna Adamson, The Martlet+++ Rating: 5/5
Brian Page is an eleven year old boy who unlike most boy's his age, spends most of his time in the woods behind his house. There he can explore not only the secrets of his surroundings but the feelings he's having now that his parents are apart. One day Brian goes out and simply doesn't come back, just like his father thirty years before.
His father, unable to remember his own experience, wastes no time to call the authorities to launch a search a rescue. But what has really happened to Brian? Is he simply lost or has something more sinister wrapped itself around the family?
Not a fan of novellas, their stories usually poorly developed and lacking depth for the length. But Wiersema has created a creepy little story here (literally got chills), that not only drew me in completely but made me wish that it had been a full length novel. The writing was not only rich but also powerful. It touched on a subject close to my heart and experience. Great read!
—Rachelle Gagné, The Novel Blog
Robert J. Wiersema is a bookseller and reviewer, who contributes regularly to the VANCOUVER SUN, the GLOBE AND MAIL, the OTTAWA CITIZEN, and numerous other newspapers. Wiersema is also the event coordinator for Bolen Books, and the author of BEFORE I WAKE and BEDTIME STORY, which were both national bestsellers. He lives in Victoria, B.C., with his son, Xander.


text: I'm not sure why anyone would think it would be significantly different shooting a wedding with a Hasselblad versus any other camera. Years ago I was shooting weddings with a 35mm and a MF format Bronica EC. The Bronica was setup similarly to the 35mm with a flash bracket and a Vivitar 283. Attached image is of a photographer I know that I caught a shot of during a wedding around 2008. It was rumored he was going to go digital. Not sure if he ever did or not.
