That comparison suggests that the two films react differently to different developers. I'm surprised at the contrast To be sure, there should be 4 comparisons. You should have another Xtol cmparison, 166.
Good news: A second roll of TMY2 batch 0167 worked great! I changed two things:
* All non-developer liquids (presoak, stop, fix, wash) were at the higher temperature of 22-24C (instead of 18-19C).
* I mixed fresh TF-4 fixer.
Unlike the last try, the following occurred as expected:
* Fixer poured out magenta (instead of clear).
* Wash-water poured out magenta.
* Film had no residual magenta colouration.
* Density-curve is perfect, as shown below:
Attachment 62034
The first symptom that changed is the colouration of the fixer, so perhaps old TF-4 fixer fixes not only the image but also the magenta dye? The old fixer was clear (not yellow) and had a clearing-time of 60 seconds, so I thought it was fine. But it had 51 rolls run thru it, and the instructions said it is good for 28. Oops. Could old fixer partly bleach the silver image? It's hard to imagine why densities would be low.
Mark Overton
'ello mate. You are using British or Canadian spelling of COLOR Mark. :D
So, there is an unknown variable in these tests that cause a problem! Before you go on, you must identify that variable. Find out if it affects all films or just this one batch etc....
I'd suggest using a two-bath fixing scheme. The oldest fixer bath gets used first and then the freshest fixer bath second. That way you do all the heavy fixing with the first bath, and then the second bath can clean up the last bits of unfixed silver.
I think a two bath fixer scheme would even out variations in fixer life-cycle.
@PE: Does my personality have color or colour? The apug spell-checker red-marks American spellings as wrong, and since British English is the international standard, I figured I should spell things that way.
There's another variable I neglected to mention: The plastic lid for the SS tanks had a orange-brownish residue on them which I noticed after the bad TMY rolls, and which I cleaned off. My beaker dedicated solely to fixer also has a slight orange colour-cast, so the TF-4 fixer leaves a bit of insoluble residue. But the amount is so small, and the prewash removed some magenta dye (unlike later steps) that I doubt this residue was the cause of failures. Note that I wash film with the lid on, so this residue survived all that washing.
I discarded the old fixer, so I can't reverse that change.
Today, I tried a roll of TMY2 with cool liquids for everything but developer. It made no difference (everything worked fine).
Listing the changes:
* Insoluble residue - exceedingly unlikely to affect anything.
* Temperature - had no effect.
* Old TF-4 fixer - that must be the cause!
I suspect that well-used TF-4 accumulates a chemical that prevents dissolution of the magenta dye. In addition, it seems to do some bleaching. "Well-used" meant 51 rolls in 1.5 litres, including about 20 test-strips which would dilute it a little.
Your opinions about this? I wish I'd kept the old fixer.
Mark Overton
At this time, I have no clue. Sorry.
D316 works fine with all films made by Ilford, Kodak and Fuji.
I've crunched all the data and am finishing some retesting. The only real surprise is that Delta 3200 takes 25 minutes to develop. I'll post all the dev-times in not too long.
Fuji Acros has an interesting density-curve. Here are curves from two rolls with different dev-times:
Attachment 62093
When most films start shouldering off in extreme highlights, Acros shifts into overdrive and ramps back up after X=0.3. As a result, the curve has a small swale from X=-0.3 to X=0.6. The upward slope of the swale won't affect photos unless they're badly overexposed, but I thought I'd point out this odd behaviour. BTW, these two curves are shifted horizontally a little because I've been tweaking my methods.
Mark Overton
Your Acros curves are consistent with the repeated testing I've done with that film in a variety of developers. Finally someone has confirmed my results!!! :)
It is something that differentiates it (in addition to reciprocity behaviour) significantly from TMX and Delta. I have consistently found contrast to be highest in the extreme highlight area of the curve. In ZS parlance, contrast typically increases slightly around Zone IX, and stays that way until it shoulders rather abruptly - as opposed to the far more gradual shouldering exhibited by nearly every other current general purpose medium or high speed film. As a result with normal development the highlights develop to much higher densities than its TMX and Delta counterparts.
I posted comparative curves for Acros, TMX and Delta a few years back to point this out and at the time I recall PE saying it was indeed an odd behaviour for a general purpose film (and would make it an interesting dupe film). My view is neither positive or negative. A curve like this can have its uses - particularly if one wants to use extreme contraction procedures without obliterating highlight detail.
Looks like Fuji is having trouble blending emulsions too. That is the usual result from a minor mismatch in either speed or contrast.
Kodak's TMY2 is more worrisome. Here are curves from batches 0166 and 0167:
Attachment 62143
All were developed in D316 for 12 minutes. The green line is batch 0166 -- it's so straight that it's almost ideal. The red line is batch 0167 with old fixer, which has an obvious break. What bothers me is the black line, which is batch 0167 with new fixer: It is sagging with its inflection at the same point as the red line. That tells me the emulsion issue is still there.
That would mean there are *two* problems:
- Poor blending of emulsions.
- Old fixer that messed up the magenta dye and made the neg thin for some reason. It occurred to me that each time I fix, the fixer pours out magenta, and I'm therefore putting magenta chemicals into the fixer for each roll. So I'm not surprised that after a while, chemical-buildup in the fixer affected the film.
BTW, my tests of batch 0167 shows that a pre-wash increases density, as was true of batch 0166. I have no clue why.

Whirlpool Hurt by Korean, Mexican Washer Imports, Panel Says
Whirlpool Corp. is being harmed by imports of large, residential washing machines made in South Korea and Mexico, a U.S. panel ruled in the first step toward imposing tariffs on the products.
The U.S. International Trade Commission voted 4-1 today in Washington on Whirlpool's petition for anti-dumping duties on LG Electronics Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. shipments, saying sales of the products below fair value are harming the Benton Harbor, Michigan-based company.
The commission is scheduled to release the results of its investigation by February 2013. The U.S. Commerce Department, which is conducting its own investigation, is scheduled to issue a preliminary decision by midyear on actions to offset any economic harm to U.S. companies.
"Whirlpool Corporation is pleased with the ITC's preliminary affirmative injury determination," Kristine Vernier, a company spokeswoman, said.
LG said in a statement that it disagrees with the ITC's initial determination, and cited the "low threshold" for agency action at the preliminary stage of the review.
Whirlpool Earnings Cited
"We are confident that LG will prevail in the final ITC determination," Chris Jung, president, home appliances for LG Electronics USA Inc., said in the statement distributed at the meeting.
Samsung released a statement that also predicted failure for Whirlpool's case. "As demonstrated by Whirlpool's recent announcement of higher earnings and its continued dominant market share, we disagree that there is any material injury to the domestic washer industry," the company said in an e-mail.
The U.S. imported $1.1 billion of the washers from South Korea and Mexico in 2010, the Commerce Department said on Jan. 20 in a statement. LG is based in Seoul and Samsung's headquarters are in Suwon, South Korea.
The U.S. uses more than 300 anti-dumping and countervailing duties to protect American-made goods, such as honey and bedroom furniture, from global competition deemed by the Commerce Department to be unfair and damaging to U.S. companies.

text: Don't sweat it Stone. The conversations on APUG are probably 99% gear related. Most people coming here are not interested in discussing "art" or any other subjects relation to the finished product. Unless of course it's about what concentration of XYZ toner you used etc. This is not meant to be a harsh condemnation of APUG, certainly not. Another member years ago tried to encourage discussions about "art" etc and he left in total frustration. I just loved his parting shot "we could all eat shit and die". Too funny! I love APUG, it's a great community and one of the best when you have gear or process questions. Just don't expect any intellectual discussions when it comes to photography. Not to say there aren't people here that can and do offer intelligent commentary, but generally the signal to noise ration is pretty bad. Just take a look at the huge number of views for any nude photograph and that gives you a pretty accurate indication of the relative maturity/sophistication of many members.

Vincent has a line where he mentiones setting his fridge/freezer to zero degrees Kelvin, and taps in -273 on his fridge. Which is all very well and good but if you look carefully the fridge/freezer is set to show tempature in degrees F so it reads as -273F which is not zero degrees Kelvin. It would be correct if it was -273C.
Not really a goof, but it has stuck in my memory. In the same series is after Fargo gets his sports car. He is driving along a road when he has to make an emergency stop. He slams on the brakes, but doesn't push in the clutch at the same time. The car had manual transmission and 1st thing they teach on emergency stops in manuals is that you push in the clutch in order not to stall the engine.
As I said, not really a goof, since Fargo had probably driven automatics only prior to that.

- Ambience
- Service
24 Sep 2013
Read about Farmhouse in Vogue Living and booked after some friends raved about it - I wasn't disappointed! It's like a private dinner party hosted by friends who can really, really cook. Food: The food is a set menu of 4 courses (+1 surprise course) that changes every 3 weeks. It's seasonal, uncomplicated and definitely filling. It was refreshing to be served complete meals with sides and there wasn't any tiny plates with foam or smears that represent a course that you need a teaspoon to eat. You're generally served a large plate to share (except for the desserts). #1: We started with a plate of fresh bread (Pane di Lariano), prosciutto, garlic aioli and pickles. I pretty much could've been done just eating this. #2: Chicken, corn, spinach, blackened onion - The boys have one dish each (#2 was Tristan's and #4 was Mike's) and the rest are done together. This was just beautiful. The skin was seasoned to perfection and the pureed spinach and blackened onion complemented it well. Some diners remarked on the amount of salt and garlic, but to me, this is seasoning. Definitely a highlight! #3 - Roast pork, mash, apple, fennel, crackling - I was pretty much full by #2 but this dish arrived and it was a huge. A plate full of roast pork, carrots and mash and sides of fennel and dill (?!?) and an incredible chunky apple sauce. One of the best roasts I've ever had, especially the potatoes. #4 - Salted caramel popcorn with Strawberries, vanilla & Champagne granita - This was Mike's dish and it was incredible. The salted caramel helped add texture and contrast the flavours. A very sophisticated dish. #5 (not on the menu, and no photo as I ate it too quickly, but it does exist!) - Coconut cake with cream, macadamias and lime syrup (not too sure on the wording of this as it's not on the menu). Most people had this as take away but my friend and I found room. The cake was very moist and the cream went well. My only wish is that this came with tea/coffee (I didn't ask, but I didn't see it on the menu). Atmosphere: The restaurant is petite, but well designed. I wasn't sure how we'd get in/out of the communal table, but the table tops come off for easy access. They make great use of space and I didn't feel crowded. Communal dining wasn't a problem either and we had a great neighbours either side. They have great attention to detail and the cutlery and glassware were beautiful. Service: Our host Sophy was lovely, the service is very polished and seamless, glasses are filled and plates are taken away without even noticing. She was amazing! Tristan and Mike were also helpful in explaining the dishes. Value: Surprisingly good. $55 for 4 courses is great value for food this good, let alone the surprise cake. The wines start from $11 a glass, the list is small but well thought out. We spent $125 for 2 + tip and left absolutely stuffed and with take away. Overall: Delicious food and crazy good value ($55 for 4 courses + surprise extra cake), great music and polished service. Would definitely go back here regularly. Tip: Dine on a Sunday if you want to take your time. They do double sittings except for Sundays and if you dine for Sunday lunch or Sunday dinner you can take your time as there is no one booked after (website says they do two sittings for Sunday dinners but we stayed until 9pm so best to check this). Leftovers - My friend and I weren't able to finish everything and they happily offered take away for the left overs so we didn't waste the food and could share with our friends who missed out.

In Dustin Pedroia's seven-year career - all with the Red Sox - he has a .303 batting average and an on-base percentage of .371. / Stephen Dunn, Getty Images
CHICAGO (AP) - Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia had a cortisone injection in his left wrist and hopes to return to Boston's starting lineup on Wednesday night.
The AL MVP was injured April 4 when Milwaukee's Carlos Gomez broke up a double play at second base in the ninth inning. Pedroia is hitting .139 (5 for 36) since then with one RBI and no walks, leaving his season average at .236.
"Hopefully, I'll be in here tomorrow," Pedroia said Tuesday. They gave me a shot to calm everything down. They said it's 24, 48 hours to kick in, and then I'll get there and go."
He missed Sunday's series finale at the New York Yankees.
"I was getting a little bit worried. It was getting worse every day," Pedroia said. "Everything got inflamed. You keep swinging and playing and it just adds up until you think something is really wrong."
Red Sox manager John Farrell said it was possible Pedroia could pinch hit Tuesday.
In other injury news, closer Koji Uehara threw a bullpen session on Tuesday, is expected to throw another Wednesday and could be available for Thursday's game. He has not pitched since April 9 because of a sore right shoulder.

Grow Your Own Climbing Strawberries, Indoors or Out
Climbing strawberries with a fruiting period from June to September, now there's a thing!
We haven't been growing strawberries for some years but the Thompson and Morgan website gives enough information to help you grow the Mount Everest climbing strawberries in pots, or in hanging baskets, or containers on the patio.
We have six plants to plant out and in view of our experience with birds, mice and men! we have decided to experiment. Two have been given to a friend who will probably grow them in a polytunnel. Lucky chap, wish we had the room. Another to my hairdresser who has always wanted to grow strawberries indoors.
We will grow the remaining three up bamboo wigwams, one in a large pot on the patio and two indoors in large pots. If they are as fruitful as the paperwork says we will be strawberried out by September! Or, as I hope there will be so much fruit I'll be able to make jam.
The best jam I ever made was called freezer jam. Much simpler than conventional jam making, although it produces a soft rather than a very firm set. There are easy instructions on the Certo recipes webpage. The 'jam' is so tasty and delicious on ice cream, cereal, and in cakes. The same website gives a good range of recipes to choose from. We always make sure there is always some Certo in the cupboard year round. So this year it'll be delicious freezer strawberry jam and maybe even ice cream made from unsprayed homegrown fruit!
The plants we are using are Mount Everest from Thompson & Morgan. See their website for up to date prices.
We have found another strawberry variety that cascades downwards. Have a look at 'Rambling Cascade' Climbing Strawberry, a variety that produces long runners (up to 5-6ft long) which can be trained to trellis, canes or around a stout pole. The flavour of this variety is quite exceptional and surpasses the taste or any bred 'for long shelf life' commercially grown strawberry.
We have ordered the kit to make up a Rambling Cascade Hanging Basket complete with 13 plants, compost and basket costs £25.95. High hopes for an interesting experience! The only possible problem will be the watering – how to cope with the puddle that will appear – have a bucket ready? May well have to take the basket down and soak it in a bucket. We shall see! One thing is for sure, we will use one of our Hi-Lo devices to lower it safely – wouldn't be without these. Anyone who gets weary with lifting heavy watering cans, getting water up their arms, puddles of water on the ground, our feeling is they would welcome a HiLo device. It allows you to lower the basket to a workable level for pruning, deadheading and watering. Then pulled up – carefully – to the height you want it. It really has made a huge difference to our basket handling and can't praise it enough. An essential item for any dedicated hanging basket fan. Suitable for 10inch, 12inch or 14inch hanging baskets weighing up to 20lbs. We bought ours from Dobies who have a buy three get one free offer.
Our 2014 strawberry growing was not a huge success. Here in Cumbria we have a shorter growing season than further south. So in 2015 we have decided to grow our strawberries in the glazed entry hall to offset the lower temperatures outside.
The Flamenco everbearing strawberry plants we grew last year had wonderful fruit which the mice and slugs relished, so they will also be grown in the glazed hall where last year tomatoes grew well in bags and in 2015 our tomatoes will be in the conservatory.
Why not come and visit us? We have converted our 1700's old stone built coach house into a self contained warm and cosy cottage for holiday lets, short and long, any time of year. Here is a link – you will see the kitchen garden where we grow many different companion plants and insect attractive flowers to maximise our fruit and veg. Do come! We love talking gardening!

Don't Owen countians pay enough taxes?
In response to Bonnie Strassell's letter to the editor from Nov. 4, I wanted to present my side of the argument concerning the library tax.
Although my family and I do not use the library as much as we'd like, I agree that it's a vital and necessary part of the community.
I appreciate the work the library staff does and know that the services they provide are important to many citizens in our county. I'm also aware that the resources and programs the library offers are not free.
Omar Carr walked out of the Old Testament, down the aisle of the New Columbus Methodist Church, and laid the fruits of his labor on God's altar. Of course, he didn't wear flowing robes like Abraham and Elijah and the others I'd seen in pictures. He favored denim overalls, and his thick reddish-brown hair was held in place with a weathered felt-brimmed hat, but he had the look of a patriarch none the less. And even a child could tell that Omar's offering was what Cain should have been about instead of goofing off and picking fights with his brother Abel.
Thursday will be filled with food, family, friends and parades. Families will gather around roasted turkeys to give thanks.
Despite the economic crisis the country is currently facing, many say Thanksgiving sales are up slightly or have not changed from last year.
Rod Foresee, owner of Meadowview said Monday he can't be sure of this year's sales until after Thanksgiving.
The Owen County Youth Mighty Pro and Power House football teams recently hosted the Rebel Rumble at Patterson field in preparation for their annual trip to the King of the Hill Classic in Owensboro. The King of the Hill is a national tournament that draws teams from several states.

It was a very good week on the Branch. The weather continued to be very Octoberish. The leaves are gone. Even the Bradford pears have given up the fight, but they were a beautiful red this year. The splitter that we took to Mike's a couple of weeks ago proved to be too much for even his expertise. Stony had it built in 1979. He had a friend, a cousin of Rube Goldberg, that put it together for him. The motor was used at the time. That was 30 years ago. The wee engine just died. It had been a good and faithful servant but enough was enough.
While plans continue to move forward on the new Owen County Judicial Center, Owen County Judge-Executive Carolyn Keith has some financial concerns connected to the existing courthouse.
Groundbreaking on the new judicial center is expected to take place in early March of 2010. The new building will take 18 months to two years to complete.
The judicial center will be built on five acres on South Main Street across from the fire station.
Keith said many people do not realize that the center is strictly for courts only.
An Owen County man is dead following a crash Nov. 18.
Kentucky State Police Public Information Officer Seth Willis said in a release that at approximately 3:15 p.m. Nov. 18 troopers responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision at Kentucky 330 and Wild Deer Road in Owen County.
A Toyota passenger car, driven by Matthew R. Fernandez, 21, of Owenton, was traveling east on Ky. 330, when the operator apparently lost control of the vehicle and traveled into the westbound lane.
As a resident of East Perry Street, I want to thank (Owenton Police Chief) Terry Gentry and his crew, Mayor (Wotier) and the city council for working on cleaning this street up – the speeding on a dead-end street, the drugs, the viscious dogs, and run-down property. It had gotten so bad everything you own had to be padlocked, even the gates on my yard fence. This is the first time in my life I have had to do this.
The people who don't see the problem must be the problem, because 90 percent of the residents on the street "see the problem."
Stats are important in sports but they often don't tell the entire story.
It is true that the 2009-2010 Owen County High School Rebels will have to find out how to replace 52 percent of the team's scoring lost on graduation day ,but they will also be looking for two more ingredients that can't be found on the stat sheet. They are experience and leadership.
Winning back-to-back 31st District titles is never easy. Winning a third straight will be even harder.
Yet, that's the goal heading into the 2009-2010 season for the Owen County Lady Rebels. The goals do not stop there.
Expectations surrounding the team are high and not just in Owen County. One publication in the state has the Owen County girls ranked as the third best team in the eighth region.

A lawsuit filed in Federal Court in Kansas claims major wireless companies conspired to raise text-message prices.
A Florida customer of Sprint Nextel Corporation filed the lawsuit this week in Kansas City, Kansas. Her lawsuit joins at least 20 others across the country accusing the wireless industry's leaders of fixing the price of wireless text messages.
Sprint raised its text-message rate in 2006 and was soon matched by its competitors.
The lawsuit claims the price gains were based on an unlawful industry agreement.

Chromebooks will always be polarizing, but at $249 the price is far more appropriate than it had been. We recommend it for schools and people looking for a cheap second laptop.Read the full review →
Heads up! A newer version of this product is out!
As low as
A decent Chromebook, and at a price we can get behind
No matter how cheap Chromebooks get, they will always be a polarizing class of product: There are some people who couldn't be paid to use a laptop where everything is done in the browser. That said, $249 seems like an appropriate price for this sort of device -- more so than $450, certainly, which is what the last-gen model sold for. At $249, this device's faults (a dimmer display, less processing power) are the sorts of shortcomings you can easily deal with. Our biggest complaint is that it doesn't currently support Netflix streaming, but we believe Google when it says it's working on a fix. After all, it's already brought streaming to other Chromebooks, so we have no reason to believe this model will get left out in the cold. Again, we might mind these things more if the device cost twice as much, but as is, it's priced in impulse buy territory.
So who's this for? For starters, we've always felt that Chromebooks could be useful in computer labs and one-to-one laptop programs in schools, but now they're priced aggressively enough that mainstream consumers might want them, too. We're thinking travelers who need a lightweight machine for the road, or parents who cringe at the idea of spending $600 on a laptop for their kids. And these were always the target customers, really, except now they're unlikely to find a tablet or equally nice netbook for the same amount of money. In that regard, a price cut goes a long way.

When I bought this Chromebook, my immediate intention was to use it to take notes at my University.

Venchka...you recommend Jandd panniers. Is there a particular model you prefer? Barry
Another vote for the Crown. It's perfect for easy travelling, and about as light and easy to carry as you're going to find in 4x5.
I made 2 trips to China schlepping mine around, so it's hard-won wisdom. I also just picked up a 90mm lens on a Crown board for it, so you have choice in lenses too. Another added bonus is price -- they're not expensive and film holders are equally plentiful and cheap.
Shen Hao and Chamonix are the best value for the money in Field Cameras. I have been really happy with my Shen Hao. You almost never see either come up on E Bay or Criags list! Also you do see Burke and James cameras occasionally. The Chamonix has received great reviews from those who bought them. The down side is a long lead time to order as there is not stocking distributor here in the US. Shen Hao has distribution in the US from Badger and Mid West Photo Exchange both are very reputable. Small Rail Cameras are 4X5 BADGER M1 rail camera and you occasionally see the Peter Gowand mini 4X5 on E Bay. Also the Toho Shimo FC-45X is another small rail view camera to consider. You may want to search for a Meredian B which is a knock off of a Linhoff and was made in the 1940's or consider a Linhoff. Crown Graphics are fine and reasonable provided you can give up movements that a field/rail camera offers
You don't say wether you are "mountain biking" and want to take a camera with you or going to take pics on your MTB, so my suggestion is based primarely on the latter, though not entirely. I have done some fairly technical singletrack with a trailer and found it alot more do-able than you may think.
I used a BOB YAK, the suspended one. It is long enough to accomodate a reasonable sized tripod and is very stable with the weight a light-ish 4x5 set up would come in at. I had about 35lb on mine!!! The bike tracks way better than with panniers and I found I could tow at least 50% more than I could carry.
As for cameras I had a Tachi and found it very light, I tried a Crown but as I like uprights more than landscapes the fact that it had no rotating back a pain, no swing meant that it had no tilt when I had it on its side. If you shoot mainly Landscape format it may not be an issue.
Feisol CT-3441S. Combined with a lightweight ballhead, this will easily support a lightweight 4x5 camera and give you the most versatility.
Or, if you're serious about turning your bike into a tripod, you might consider something like this. Although it's shown mounted on the handle bars, you could mount this adapter on any tube of the proper diameter (25.4mm or 31.8mm). If you do mount it on the handle bars, you would need some way to lock the front wheel from swinging side-to-side - perhaps some kind of small clamp.
In any case, there are two possible issues to overcome - working height and keeping the bike from tipping over. Since a bike is shorter than a tripod, you'd need to bend over/crouch down to compose and focus. I'm also not sure if I'd trust my expensive 4x5 camera and lenses to my bicycle's kick stand. I'd probably want something a little sturdier to prop up the bike to keep it from tipping over while being used as a tripod - or perhaps using it upside down would solve this problem with the Feisol Bike Mount attached to the bottom frame tube.
Kerry Thalmann
Really Big Cameras
These cameras (Galvin) were hand built and there was a slight problem with the rear standard - it was a little floppy - but easy to fix with a screw driver and small metal file.
The Crown Graphic is a good option. On the plus side, it is light and very durable. I don't think anyone has mentioned this so far, but you can use it hand-held (although, like any other large camera, anything under 1/125 and you are taking your chances). You can use a pair of Grafmatic holders and have more than enough sheets for one outing. On the minus side, it has very few movements. You say you like landscapes, in which case, front tilt is often very useful. There is a simple mod you can do to a Crown to get front tilt.
If you want more movements, the Super Graphic is a good option. It is slightly heavier than the Crown but has a metal body which is almost indestructible. It has as much front movement as just about any field camera. It has no back movements but the back does rotate 360. It is a great camera. Although I now use a full field camera, I have used both the Crown and the Super in the field quite a bit and, except for the limits I mentioned, they really do the job.
The main advantages of LF over MF are: 1) you can develop each negative individually, and 2) movements. If neither of these is important to you, then stick then stick with medium format. MF is a huge step over 35mm and unless you are doing very large prints, you won't be able to tell the difference between 120 and 4x5. The perfect MF camera for you, in my opinion, is the Mamiya 7 (there are a few variations). It is not cheap but it is one helluva camera. If that is not in the budget, then go with a vintage folder with a good lens. Honestly, LF has its distinct advantages but the context (mountain biking) is not going to allow you to explore them easily, Keep in mind that with 4x5, you have to setup and takedown every time you stop for a different shot.

Step two: Hire a prostitute to make love to them on a beach, then take pictures you can threaten to send to their spouses. Hey, it worked for Bendini, Lambert and Locke. [Attorney Search Group]
* John Quinn (of Quinn Emanuel fame) wrote a great article about running in Roppongi. I had to Google that. Apparently "running" is a forward locomotion that people do for fun or fitness. [Wall Street Journal]
* There's still room to meet with ABA president Laurel Bellows and talk about women's issues like "how am I supposed to get a job in this f**king economy." That's not to be confused with men's issues like "dude, how am I supposed to get a f**king job in this economy." [Ms. J.D.]

Nolf wrestling royalty again at Central Mountain event
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Kittanning junior Jason Nolf stood above all his opponents for a second consecutive season at the King of the Mountain wrestling tournament in Mill Hall.
Nolf won another tournament title at Central Mountain's annual event, as he defeated Mifflinburg's Cole Walter, 3-1, Saturday in the finals of the 132-pound weight class.
Nolf, the No. 1 seed, pinned his other four opponents.
As a sophomore, Nolf won the 120-pound title and was named Outstanding Wrestler.
No other Kittanning wrestlers reached the medal rounds this year.
Five wrestlers from Redbank Valley went home with hardware.
Aaron Hook took top honors among the Bulldogs, as he defeated North Hunterdon's Liam Korbul, 3-1, in the third-place match at 182 pounds. Hook lost to eventual champion Jose Ortiz of Bethlehem Catholic, 2-1, in the quarterfinals but battled back with three consolation-bracket wins — each by three points or fewer — to reach his medal match.
Ty Haines (145 pounds) and Cole Shirey (160) each placed fourth after reaching the semifinals. Brandon Bailey (170) came back to take sixth after losing his opening bout. And Willie Gruver (113) finished seventh.
Redbank Valley placed 10th in the 33-team tournament with 99½ points. Kittanning finished in 24th with 58 points.

LAVAL, Que. - ProMetic Life Sciences Inc. (TSX:PLI) had a $2.5-million net profit in the third quarter as the biotechnology company's revenue more than doubled compared with the same time last year.
The profit was equal to one cent per share and contrasted with a $2.1 million net loss in the third quarter of 2011.
The Montreal-area company's revenue for the three months ended Sept. 30 was $7.7 million, up from $3.3 million a year earlier.
The financial report comes six weeks after Laval-based ProMetic announced that China's Shenzhen Hepalink Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. would take a 10 per cent stake in the company.
ProMetic said it expects to receive further funding for product development activities to be performed on behalf of Hepalink, starting in the fourth quarter — advancing the company's efforts to secure a solid revenue stream.
"The combination of our expanding commercial activities coupled with the execution of recent strategic agreements will provide significant upside to revenues. This consequently results in a reduction in expected financing requirements for the coming quarters," said Bruce Pritchard, ProMetic's chief financial officer
"We have already made significant progress in improving most of our key financial metrics compared to the same period of last year and expect this trend to continue."
ProMetic shares traded Tuesday at 17 cents, down half a cent, on the Toronto Stock Exchange. http://www.edmontonjournal.com/business/all/ProMetic+Life+Sciences+reverses+yearearlier+loss+posts/7540271/story.html

There's no shortage of supplies, services or opportunities for every one of the city's delightful dancers and extraordinary dance companies.
As a suburban-born 20-year-old college student, living in the heart of the West Village of New York City for a whole summer is probably the best thing that ever happened to me.
Is this to be the brave new gay world? A world in which the public face of the queer community -- the gay, the white, the cisgender and the wealthy -- take their place among society's elite, leaving the transgender, the non-white, the poor and the homeless to fend for themselves?
When it came time to choose a color for her bedroom, Cayne surprised herself. "I never thought I'd cover my walls in black Venetian plaster, but with my big white bed, it's not severe at all."
Three years ago, after moving into the West Village town house where her fiancé, Oberto Gili, has resided for the past 20 years, Joy Sohn had an epiphany. "I realized that Oberto had authored the original story of the design."
Benjamin Scheuer sat at Buvette in the West Village, a casual grin stretching up toward his perfectly coifed 'do. "I dressed for spring today," he said with a velvet voice, sliding over words like they were made of silk.
Northern Ireland's Janet Devlin made her New York City debut and her first concert ever in the United States. If you are reading this from the U.K., you know who she is, but here she is an unknown, yet, that is about to change.
When I lived in New York City, I loved taking photographs. The vibrant fall leaves. The historic, welcoming brownstones. And of course, the people of the city. New York's energy is exhilarating.
It is important to have that daily pause -- to meditate and tune out -- turning inward for insights and centering. However an extended period of Re-NEW-all -- disconnecting to re-connect in a more meaningful manner -- revitalizes one, body and soul.
NEW YORK -- A New York City restaurant has taken down a sign advertising its "big STRAIGHT ice cream" that raised eyebrows over the weekend.
It's important to have life goals and to strive for excellence, but it's also important to be content with where you are in the present moment.

My experience as a lifeguard tells me that someone could have saved that young man that day. Only, it wasn't me.
Three of your shows happening off-Broadway in one season. Well, right now, Lucy Thurber has five of her shows playing simultaneously at five different West Village theaters. Pretty cool, right?
Most New Yorkers aren't members of the inside political game, and can't write the big Real Estate checks that open doors to access. That's why we're reaching out directly in this campaign. It's also what I will do as a City Council member.
One idea I had is to require all Citibike riders to punch into the terminal when they pick up their bike that they agree to wear a helmet, that they understand and will obey all traffic rules and then be shown a couple of safety tips.
Knowledge is power, as they say, and like the practice of law, education is a tool that can empower people and communities to reach their fullest potential.
In response to vicious hate crimes against LGBT New Yorkers, City Council Speaker and mayoral hopeful Christine Quinn is sponsoring an insulting series of classes in "street smarts" and self-defense. As a policy response to these tragedies, Quinn's offer is inadequate and inappropriate.
I am an island slowly opening up and being shown that true beauty is in vulnerability. It's loving and being loved. It's in the eyes of that little shelter dog who teaches me every day that the meaning of life is in this moment right now.
If Mark Carson was not safe on the streets of Greenwich Village in New York City, then none of us is safe. New York is a city that worships diversity, the "non-normal" and the different.

Twitter (for iPhone)
Twitter (for iPhone) The stream loads pretty well in Twitter's iPhone app. If you refresh your stream after not checking it for a long time and there are a lot of message, Twitter only loads the most recent ones, and it can be a lot, but it's not usually overwhelming. The Android Twitter app, however, loads many more message after you've been idle, and it can take a long time to scrolll through them all (even if you scroll without reading) to get to the most current ones.
3 / 8
Bottom Line
With a clean design and simple but smart look, Twitter's free iPhone app deserves a download if you're a dedicated Twitter user. Those who manage more than a few social media accounts across multiple sites, however, will achieve greater efficiency with an aggregator app, like Hootsuite or Seesmic.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.

- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

WASHINGTON — For many Americans in the nation's center, tornadoes are a frightening fact of life. But for foreign students, usually from countries where tornadoes never occur, twisters can be an even scarier experience. Such was the case this past Monday when a tornado devastated the U.S. town of Moore, Oklahoma, killing at least 24 people and leaving thousands homeless.
"It was such a bad thing to see and experience," says Manoj Venkatesan, a graduate student at the University of Oklahoma. Venkatesan, who is from India, was about 13 kilometers away from the tornado. "We had heard the alert for 10 minutes before the tornado. As soon as we heard the siren, I went to the campus and then went down the basement. It was scary."
When he heard the siren go off, he did not expect the tornado to be as big and damaging as it was. Venkatesan says he hopes life returns back to normal soon.
The University of Oklahoma is about 16 kilometers from Moore and near Oklahoma City, the largest city in the southwestern state. Oklahoma is in a region often referred to as Tornado Alley - which stretches from Texas north toward Canada and east toward Ohio and Kentucky. Those areas frequently experience tornadoes - violent rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground. They can travel scores of kilometers, destroying buildings in their path.
Most communities in the central United States use sirens to alert people of an approaching tornado. Once the siren goes off, people are urged to take shelter - usually in basements or in sturdy buildings.
Sitta Tarawally is from Sierra Leone and an international student at the University of Oklahoma. "I was at the university and went to the basement after the siren went on," she said. In Oklahoma, people expect tornadoes every now and then, she said, adding she could tell that something was different about it. "We expected something worse than before," she said.
Another international student, Mohammed Aldabbous, says few natural disasters happen in his country, Saudi Arabia, so this was his first time he experienced such a storm. He was 10 minutes away from the tornado. "When I heard the siren going on, it was a tragedy, I was shocked," he said. Aldabbous said that luckily, the place where he stayed was not damaged.
"I saw the tornado from away and heard the siren everywhere. It was scary," Aldabbous said. "I feel very sorry about what happened in Oklahoma."
The University of Oklahoma, which just finished its spring semester, has opened its dormitories to people who lost their homes. People and companies have started to donate money to help the tornado victims, and President Barack Obama has promised that Oklahomans will get the aid they need. President Obama travels to Moore this Sunday to meet with survivors and first responders and get a firsthand look at the devastation.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Whether it means opening school track meets to a deaf child or developing a new lunch menu with safe alternatives for students with food allergies, recent Obama administration decisions could significantly affect Americans with disabilities. But there's been little progress in one of the most stubborn challenges: employing the disabled.
According to government labor data, of the 29 million working-age Americans with a disability - those who are 16 years and older - 5.2 million are employed. That's 18 percent of the disabled population and is down from 20 percent four years ago. The employment rate for people without a disability was 63 percent in February.
The job numbers for the disabled haven't budged much since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which gave millions of disabled people civil rights protections and guaranteed equal opportunity in employment, public accommodations, transportation, government services and more.
The National Council on Disability's Jeff Rosen said long-standing prejudicial attitudes need to be addressed to boost jobs.
Rosen, who is deaf, was named in January as chairman of the council, an independent federal agency that advises the president, Congress and other federal agencies on disability policy.
The Obama administration recently has acted to expand the rights of Americans with disabilities in other areas.
The Education Department's civil rights division released new guidelines that direct schools to provide students with disabilities equal access to extracurricular sports teams. If schools can't, they should create similar athletic programs for disabled children, the department said.
Also, the Justice Department said in a settlement with a Massachusetts college, Lesley University, that severe food allergies can be considered a disability under the law. That potentially could lead to new menus and accommodations at schools, restaurants and other places to address the needs of people with food allergies.
The latest data from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management shows nearly 15 percent of new federal hires between 2010 and 2011 were people with disabilities - almost 19,000 people. That's up from the previous year when about 10 percent of new hires were people with disabilities.
President Barack Obama signed an executive order in 2010 aimed at improving the federal ranks of people with disabilities. The goal was to add 100,000 disabled people to federal payrolls in five years; that would be within reach if the 2010-2011 hiring numbers were to stick or improve.
Federal agencies are trying to achieve the numbers through better recruitment, especially at colleges and universities. And last month, OPM issued rules to limit the paperwork that potential hires with disabilities would need to provide. They essentially "self identify" as disabled by qualifying for a special hiring category known as "Schedule A" that allows disabled people to apply for a job through a noncompetitive hiring process, meaning they could be hired without competing with the general public.
The administration also is considering new rules that would leverage the power of federal spending to encourage companies to hire more disabled workers. The Labor Department is weighing a rule that would require companies with federal contracts to set a goal of having at least 7 percent of their workforce be disabled. Federal contractors employ nearly one-quarter of the nation's workforce.
"We have had a long history of supporting the disabled community," said Randel Johnson, vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for labor issues. "But this proposal goes too far, woefully underestimates cost of compliance, and is completely unworkable as structured in the proposal."
Jennifer Lortie, 29, of Griswold, Conn., considers herself one of the lucky employed Americans with a disability.
Lortie was born with cerebral palsy and has limited use of her arms and legs. She graduated college during the recession and it was no easy task finding a job.
She spent more than a year scouring newspapers, job search websites and sending out dozens of resumes. She worried her wheelchair might be a strike against her until she landed a position in 2009 as an assistive technology specialist with the Connecticut Tech Act Project. The federally-funded program aims to increase independence for people with disabilities by educating them on new and best-fit technologies for work, school and community living.
Lortie spends four hours each day commuting to work and then back to the home she shares with her parents. They drive her to the bus stop and then she takes two buses to get to work - two hours each morning and two hours at the end of the day to get home. And she doesn't mind a bit. "I like to help people," she said.
Jill Houghton works with companies to expand employment for people with disabilities. Among the big barriers, she said, are concerns about cost. Companies worry about whether they'll have to make special accommodations or additional training and they want to know how much it's going to cost.
"The reality is that businesses have found that when they create inclusive workplaces, where people with disabilities are working side by side with people without disabilities ... the bottom line is that it doesn't increase costs," said Houghton, who heads the US Business Leadership Network, a trade association that represents about 5,000 businesses.
She said she has noticed a significant increase in calls and requests recently to the group from the business community about hiring people with disabilities.
Companies want to be inclusive of people with disabilities, Houghton said. "Businesses are learning that it just makes good business sense."

Have you ever been Au pair?
I think that another ways to learn a language is being an Au pair in a country where the language that you're trying to learn is spoken.
I'm thinking in do it.
Well,have you ever been Au pair?
How did you do it?
Did you learn the languge 100%?
It was a good experience?
I've always wanted to do an Au Pair cultural exchange, unfortunately I don't have enough money to do it (it's one of my frustrated dreams). But I think it's a good experience in anyway for sure (new places, new people, new language,etc).
Do you have some agency in mind now? I think this is a good one http://culturalcareaupair.com/
Good luck!
I'm not yet an au pair. I will travel to Germany next year to do so. I really hope that this makes a lot of diference in my language learning and I think it will.
I also think that depends on the effort of the au pair. If you don't study while you work as au pair, your language skills will stay in a certain level. Of course that a litle bit improvement its inevitable, because the kids propably only speaks the native language of the country.
What you mean by 100%? Because even who goes only to study, at least German, I've heard that came back with C1 level, but rarely with C2 level. Because that is more specific words that changes between areas.
But if you don't like kids, if you don't be excited about immersing in a diferent cultur and family, I don't sugest that you became an au pair. If your only interest in became au pair is your language skills, this is not a good program for you, because all I heard is that we should not forget that this is a job and we will have to work a lot, because when you live with the family you probably work more than your work hours. So for those that don't like kids, it must be really annoying.
I hope I have helped :)
Hey Hyttalo, an au pair agency is only needed for USA. In Europe people don't usually use agency. I found my family in aupairworld.com and its safe do that, you only have to talk a lot with the family, know them with skype and everthing. You can even negociate with the family about who pays the airfare. A friend have negociated and she will only pay to come back, the family pays her to go.
Search about it. Its a good option.
I hope I have helped :)
