Master gunner's visit Iowa AAP to get a personal view of ammunition
May 2, 2011
Story Highlights
- The master gunner's tour takes place normally every six months and exposes the gunners to the live ammunition production process.
- "Our intent is that master gunners view firsthand how tank main gun ammunition is produced."
- "This training allowed the master gunners in attendance, an opportunity to mesh theory with reality when it comes to ammunition production"
MIDDLETOWN, Iowa-- Seven Abrams master gunners toured the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant in early April to get a first-hand view on how the 120 mm tank ammunition is assembled and the detailed check and balances process the ammunition goes through.
The master gunner's tour takes place normally every six months and exposes the gunners to the live ammunition production process.
The master gunners in attendance were: Army Master Sgt. Michael T. McCarthy, Headquaters Headquarters Company, 1st Armored Division, Fort Bliss, Texas, Army Sgt. 1st Class Roddney D. Hackstall, 1-15 Infantry, Fort Benning, Ga, Army Master Sgt. Jeffery E. Packer, 1-204th Regiment, Gowen Field, Idaho Marine Staff Sgt. Dennis K. Downes, 4th Tank Battalion, Yakima, Wash., Marine Gunnery Sgt. Myron D. Tapio, 2nd Tank Battalion, Camp LeJeune, N.C., Army Master Sgt. Craig G. Richardson, Headquarters Headquarters Company , 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga, and Army Staff Sgt. Christian E. Beyer, 194th Armored Brigade , Fort Knox, Ky.
Wakeland Kumaroo, a contractor with the Project Manager-Maneuver Ammunition Systems from Fort Knox accompanied the visitors on the tour. He is the liaison between the Soldiers and Marines.
"Our intent is that master gunners view firsthand how tank main gun ammunition is produced. The better they understand how the ammunition is produced. The better they understand how ammunition is produced to include the many checks and balances used during this production, the more confident they are in this ammunition," said Kumaroo. "The second big piece is the benefit to the workers especially on the line. They get to hear first-hand from our Soldiers and Marines about how effective and reliable their ammunition is in the field. This quality ammunition allows effective training in combat, a key portion of saving their lives."
The one-day visit began with a briefing from American Ordnance personnel Joe Shilling, direct fire business unit leader. The briefing highlighted: ammunition capabilities, safety, infrastructure, production maps, and the five direct and indirect fire business units. During the briefing, visitors were welcomed and given a coin by IAAAP Commander, Lt. Col. Tommie Hewitt.
After the briefing, the visitors received a tour of the 120 mm tank round line, paint and cartridge assembly, advance case systems, and propellant loading and priming of rounds.
While touring the plant, the visitors were given the opportunity to meet with the workers on the production lines. Iowa AAP workers were given the chance to ask the master gunners questions about any deficiencies they have experienced with tactical rounds, if they receive enough of ammunition, and credentials that are needed in order to become a master gunner.
"This training allowed the master gunners in attendance, an opportunity to mesh theory with reality when it comes to ammunition production", said Army Sgt. 1st Class Hackstall.
"By knowing what these munitions consists of internally, and seeing firsthand the care American Ordnance places on assembling them, I am more confident we have the best on our side."
American Ordnance provided a casual barbeque lunch for the visitors. During lunch the visitors and production workers ate lunch together.
They were given the opportunity to engage in dialogue about the ammunition and the detailed check and balance process the ammunition goes through.
Also, this gave the master gunners the opportunity to say thanks to the production workers for all the hard work in producing and ensuring the safety of the ammunition every day.
After the tour concluded, the master gunners thanked Joe Shilling and the American Ordnance contractor personnel for the detailed tour and the warm hospitality they showed them.
Marine Staff Sgt. Downes stated, "Visiting the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant was a very informative and enjoyable experience. The pride that each employee takes in making the 120 mm ammunition shows the quality of the finished product. Without the quality ammunition that the plant produces for my Marines would not be able to get the quality of training that they need before deploying to fight our nations battles. I want to thank everyone at the plant for the work they do. Without them we would not be able to accomplish the missions that we are tasked with."

Ralph, does this answer your question?
I do use them, thank you for sponsoring APUG!
Besides their being archival, the best thing I love about Print File binder sleeves is that they're easier to get the negative strips into them!
While visiting St. Louis last fall, I stopped by a shop and found a 100-pack of 35mm binder sleeves made by another company on clearance. I could barely get the negatives to fit and I nearly tossed out the whole pack in frustration! Print File's sleeves are so much better.
I use print file also, thanks for the discount!
and that's where the products positive PAT test results are shown.
The Photographic Activity Test (PAT) is a ISO standard (ISO 14523) for archival performance, and unless a product passes it, I won't use it.
I've used Print File 35mm negative wallets for decades. They are convenient to store, and more important, hold the negatives back to back and front to front. This flattens the negatives. Unfortunately, these have been discontinued by Print File and other American manufacturers, and my supply is nearly exhausted. Perhaps this will finally compell me to get a DSLR.
First we would like to apologize to all who posted questions in this forum. Being new to APUG, we thought we were subscribed to this thread, but we were not.
Several people were asking about international orders to Australia. We do manufacture many of our pages in multi-hole and do ship to Australia. If you have problems getting a shipping quote via our website, please send us an e-mail and we will assist you.
It also seems like the question about the archival materials we use in manufacturing our products has been answered. If anyone has any further questions on this subject, please let us know.
We have also extended the APUG discount. Use the discount code APUG11 at checkout for a 10% discount at www.PrintFile.com. Discount is good until June 30.

Review for Mother To Mother, Nashville, TN, USA
I just found this organization and am thrilled to know that it is in Middle TN. After budget cuts threaten the infant mortality program in TN, it is comforting to see that there are other options to help our most vulnerable people.

I have used many type of tire for enduros , hare scrambles plus hard trail rides I find this the best tire for great hook-ups everywhere. Can't beat this tire for price from RM. As long as I can get this tire I will keep buying.Read All Reviews
Scott in TN
I find EN works best for around TN mountains with a good hook up just about everywhere no matter what terrain it is, almost like a trials tire with better breaking on steep down hills. Great price from RM.Read All Reviews

Don in WA
Replaced my Motoz IT with ST on the front of my Husky FE 350. Tire hooks up on everything so far in Wash State. This tire works great with Tubliss and did not need modifying like IT. See Motoz IT review. Running @ 10 psi. Over 1900 miles on IT, hopfully the ST will last as long. Best front DOT tire used!Read All Reviews
Alex in OR
I wanted to try this tire for 2 reasons. It is cheap and there had not been a review written. So, winter weather in the Oregon Coast range. 2 solid rides and it it wearing like iron. Traction in the slick clay, wet roots, and slop has been much better than expected. Carving into wet, slick flat corners promotes a lot higher confidence than the Geomax MX51 I just took off. Very happy with this tire. I will like to see how it wears.Read All Reviews
Alex in OR
I was looking for a good economical tire for the woods in the Oregon Coast range. The biggest 18" available is a lot smaller than the 140/80/18 I usually run. I was very surprised to find after 2 solid rides that it is a great performer. It tracks in the ruts very well. Slick, steep hill climbs can be crawled up at a great slow pace and maintain great traction. My only wish is for a little bigger tire in an 18". All the same I am looking forward see how this tire holds up. So far it is wearing like iron. It gives great confidence in the slick corners! I am running it @ 8psi with a Tubliss.Read All Reviews

Is Kalil 100%?
LinvilleGorge replied to KillerKat's topic in Carolina PanthersYeah, Kalil definitely had a bad game. Gave up the sack, had a holding penalty that brought back a 1st down, and the two previously mentioned delay of game penalties with Cam screaming for the ball for several seconds before the clock went to :00.
Resting players vs 16-0
LinvilleGorge replied to Randolph Panther's topic in Carolina PanthersGo for 16-0. It's that "treat every game like you're 0-0 trying to get to 1-0" that's gotten us to where we are. Never a fan of resting guys. Once you take your foot off the gas and willingly concede that it's okay to lose, I think it's tough to mentally get that edge back. I'm not saying that resting guys definitely cost the Manning-era Colts some Super Bowls, but it didn't help.

LinvilleGorge replied to nctarheel0619's topic in Carolina PanthersNot a big fan of it. Kony has been our best DE recently. Ultimately though, who starts doesn't matter. They'll rotate and the guys playing best will end up getting the most snaps as the game wears on.
The greg hardy vs michael oher matchup
LinvilleGorge replied to philw5289's topic in Carolina PanthersI'm not sure why it seems like so many people think Hardy is so familiar with our offense. He's not. He'd be more familiar with opposing NFC South offenses that he was actually preparing to face twice a season while in Carolina. The Carolina offense was the one he was least concerned with as a Panther because it was the one offense he definitely wasn't going to face on the field.

Gano's leg strength
LinvilleGorge replied to Marguide's topic in Carolina PanthersPathetic.
Undefeated Watch pt.2: Bills v Patriots
LinvilleGorge replied to Jangler's topic in Carolina PanthersBills just missing too many opportunities and leaving too many points on the field. Should have 17 points right now. One wide open TD missed due to a poorly thrown ball and another TD missed due to a dropped pass. Not to mention the INT overturned due to penalty and the missed FG. The NFL is gonna have to change their grounding rules due to Brady. Dude abuses them.
The Stupid Double Standard in the Media
LinvilleGorge replied to gtanaka's topic in Carolina PanthersThis. No one cared about the Pats until Parcells came to town. They'd endured a decade of irrelevancy leading up to that.
The thing about Jones on that play is that he never had a chance. He didn't get burned because of poor coverage or blowing an assignment, he got burned because he stumbled. It sucks, but poo happens.
Tillman is 34. This is almost certainly his last season. Bene plays better on the outside. We may be looking for a new nickel and our D has had success playing with a safety in the nickel position. Seems like Dowling is a CB/safety hybrid. Worth a look in our D.
*IF* the Patriots win tonight *AND* the Panthers win on Thanksgiving...
LinvilleGorge replied to Montsta's topic in Carolina PanthersThis. One of the best individual defensive performances I've ever seen at any level. The man was EVERYWHERE in that Super Bowl. It seemed like he made every Panthers tackle that day. You can tell the recent Panthers fans because they don't get all dreamy eyed followed by slight sadness when the Morgan's name is mentioned

Dubrovnik City Tour Excursion Reviews
Guide was great - city is awesome!! Tour takes you to the 2 monasteries.
Dubrovnik is now very commercialised and getting expensive. Too many people visiting at one time, cruise ships are killing this place! Very expensive to walk the walls @ GBP 18 per person.
We took another trip to Korcula ( not on the list ) great place, relaxing super value for money and very friendly and polite people. Visit soon before the cruise ships spoil it.
Dubrovnik Scenic Cruise and Old Town City Tour — Adult Only Departure
We got on a boat straight off the ship and had a little but pretty trip to the old city of Dubrovnik. After being guided around the central street for a little while, we got time to explore on our own. We walked around the entire city wall (worth it, but very long!), and would have tried to get up to the mountain if we could have. Too many tours, so the line was enormous. You get to see a lot in a few hours, and if we had found it we would have dined at the Lady Pi Pi (it's high up close to the city wall).
We took an excursion but would have been much better off taking the shuttle bus (which magically only came into existence after everyone had booked the tours!). We had different opinions about Dubrovnik. I thought it was charming and atmospheric with an fascinating history whereas others thought the town architecture looked like a prison. The guide had some very interesting facts about the war and the history but was impossible to acquire any substantial information because of the sheer volume of people. The Tour Guide did her best but there were lots of other tours and it was not possible to hear what she was saying and consequently couple by couple we peeled off! I still feel very guilty about our 'escape' through the side door of the cathedral! Missing lunch again we made for a café…..…a café that told us that they did not have any food! In remembrance of when I was last in Dubrovnik before the war we had a glass of šljivovica - its still very strong stuff!
On a previous trip to Dubrovnik, we toured the city on our own. This time we chose a walking tour and we were not disappointed. Maris was able to give us a lot a history of the city along with visiting many of the important sites. We also took the cable car to the top of the hill for a great view of the city. This excursion also allowed for some free time which was greatly appreciated. We were very lucky that the trip ended just as it started to rain.
Started early with bus from the ship, which is docked far from the old city of Dubrovnic.
Went off by the old city, walked the walls of the castle and saw the old city in the morning, before the heat of the sun became hot.
Then we took a local boat, from the old towns small port, 20 minutes to the island of Lokrum, where be had a hike, a bath and suntanning. Nice island with ruins of small castle and monastry, lots of peacook birds, beaches and nude beach.
In the afternoon, we took the cable car to a mountain-top, with a fantastic view over Dubrovnik and the surroundings. Absolutly worth the time and money.
Great overview of city and area. Walking in the city area and within the old walls of the city were interesting and worthwhile.
Interesting town but it was too hot and way too busy, not helped by the slow departure from the ship by tender
We went on a ship tour to the Cable Car and to the Old Town. It was wonderful. Just enough time to sit and relax in a cafe as well as go for a quick swim.

I toned for 10 full minutes in full strength toner to get a good result. Toning is quite slow so I think a water rinse should do fine.
Roger, would you have any idea why my sodium sulfite seems to undo (not just stopping it) the sulfide toning?

Is it just us or did Jared Leto look oddly like a White Walker from "Game of Thrones" at an event for Rag & Bone on Feb. 14, 2012?

We almost expect him to pop out of the snow to speed us to an icy grave.

As has been suggested, the Tower of Pisa is straight - it's the rest of the world that's crooked! Nice image nevertheless.

A nice image, but I'd have cropped the top to remove the overhead wires and the left to remove the two vehicles.

Nickelodeon is presenting at Toy Fair three new favorites: THE BACKYARDIGANS and GO, DIEGO, GO! for preschoolers and AVATAR, THE LAST AIRBENDER for kids 6-11. These properties join two of the network's most successful franchises: DORA THE EXPLORER and SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, with fun product for every kid.
"Nickelodeon has had a consistent roster of hit toy properties because our shows feature unique characters with great storylines that resonate with kids," said Leigh Anne Brodsky, president, Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products. "Research told us that kids have embraced THE BACKYARDIGANS, GO, DIEGO, GO! and AVATAR and we're excited to offer kids new playthings that spark imagination, creativity and fun in their lives," she said. Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products operates the third-largest licensing agency in the world with $5 billion in retail sales in 2005. The department handles the merchandising for Nick Jr., Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, Comedy Central, MTVN International and Spike TV.
GO, DIEGO, GO! is a spin-off of DORA THE EXPLORER and joins DORA as one of the top-two rated preschool shows on commercial TV. Eight-year-old Diego is a bilingual animal rescuer and nature expert who has the ability to talk to animals. The show is flavored with Spanish words, Latin American music, folktales and traditions. A complete line of action/adventure toys that come complete with an animal figure and corresponding educational fact card will be available this fall from Fisher-Price.
THE BACKYARDIGANS is an animated musical adventure series about five high-spirited preschool friends who take epic, imagination-fueled adventures by transforming their backyards into fantastical places like ancient Egypt or the high seas. Each episode, richly animated with bright, primary colors, features a variety of songs from different genres (swing, reggae, funk, etc.) accompanied by real choreographed movements from the Alvin Alley dance troupe that are recreated in animation. A complete line of toys will be available this fall from Fisher-Price. There will also be activity and craft kits from Jakks Pacific.
AVATAR, THE LAST AIRBENDER, premiered in February 2005, and has grown to be one of the most popular shows for kids 6-11, as well as avid animation fans of all ages. Asian-inspired, Avatar is an epic story that follows the story of Aang, a 12-year-old boy torn between fulfilling his fate as the long-awaited Avatar and just wanting to be a regular kid. Using skilled "bending" moves inspired and choreographed by actual martial arts experts, Aang is called upon to lead the fight against the vicious Fire Nation to restore balance in his war-torn world.
AVATAR already has 25 licensees, including Upper Deck, which recently launched a trading card game featuring new Quick Play technology. At Toy Fair, Mattel introduces a complete line of highly unique action/adventure toys that encourage role-play, include Aang's Battle Staff as well as the Air Launch Aang with Appa, the giant two-ton flying bison. Also related to the current role-play trend are boy's dress-up sets from Disguise, which take advantage of Avatar's costuming and props. LEGO is launching a range of creative Avatar-themed construction sets.
Nickelodeon's new properties take their place alongside the hugely successful DORA THE EXPLORER and SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS franchises, which continue to rank as two of the most popular properties of all time for kids 2-11.
In 2006, new DORA products at Toy Fair from Fisher-Price include Dora's Talking Castle and Fairy Wishes Dora. Dora's Talking Castle follows the best-selling Talking Dollhouse and Talking Kitchen by offering preschoolers a playset that comes to life with the wave of a magic wand. Fairy Wishes Dora comes alive with a life-like face that delights girls when she changes facial expressions throughout playtime. Also available is the life-sized, Dora's Adventure Playhouse from Little Tikes, filled with interactive elements.
New for SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS is the Bad Breath Blaster SpongeBob, from Fisher-Price. Kids get to gross out their friends with a toy that comes with assorted stinky breath pellets including: onion/garlic, fish, rotten eggs and smelly socks. Inspired by the famous SPONGEBOB "Something Smells" episode a uniquely repulsive scent is released into the air with a simple pull of the blaster. New from Hasbro Games is SpongeBob SquarePants Monopoly, which features spectacular lenticular packaging. Also new are inventive construction sets from LEGO, including the amazing Build-a-Bob set, where kids can build their very own SpongeBob.
Licensees presenting Nickelodeon licensed products during Toy Fair also include: Ah-Ha! Toys Inc., Big Time Toys, Cycle Express, Crayola, Disquise, Emerson, Franklin Sports, Gemmy Industries, KiddieLand, Kidz Craze. Little Kids, Little Tikes, Moose Mountain, Play-Doh, Playhut, Spin Master, Ty, Upper Deck, Vtech and What Kids Want.
Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products also debuts a new line of HOLLY HOBBIE & FRIENDS fashion dolls, playsets and accessories from Mattel Inc at Toy Fair.
Holly Hobbie, the American Greeeting's property who first charmed little girls and moms with her homespun appeal some 30 years ago, has been updated to inspire a whole new generation of kids. Holly Hobbie is the first non-network based property to be represented by Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products.
New HOLLY HOBBIE & FRIENDS toys from Mattel bring introduced at Toy Fair include doll assortments featuring Holly and her best friends Amy Morris and Carrie Baker, which encourage creative play with activity accessories like beads and sequined stickers. There are also additional fashion assortments for girls to update their doll's look and style. Holly is a pet lover so the line includes pet assortments featuring her friends Doodles, Cheddar and Bonnet. There is also a toy-sized Holly Hobbie & Friends Clubhouse featuring two floors of fun, amazing details and an old time snow cone maker.
The launch of the toy line this fall will be preceded by a DVD, HOLLY HOBBIE & FRIENDS-SURPRISE PARTY the first in a series that will introduce kids to the Holly Hobbie & Friends storyline. With its theme song, Twinkle in Her Eye" sung by Grammy-winning recording artist LeAnn Rimes, the "Surprise Party" DVD introduces kids to Holly, Amy and Carrie who spend summers together in the cozy town of Clover and experience all of the key milestones and joys of 10-year-old girls. Holly is the great, great granddaughter of the "original Holly Hobbie and feels a deep sense of connection to her personality and creativity. Holly even looks like her famous relative, but has a strong fashion sense that's all her own. She wears boots and a signature cap complete with a touch of gingham.
The DVD will be available in stores March 7 from Nickelodeon Home Ent. and Paramount Home Ent.
"We're excited that Mattel captured Holly Hobbie's optimistic and charming nature with a great assortment of fun toys for girls that are inspired by friendship, family and positive themes," said Brodsky. "We know a growing number of moms will appreciate the age-appropriate nature of the brand and girls will love the engaging personalities of Holly and her friends," she said.

An hour?...bitchy little whiners...sounds like my MIL about why they don't visit the great grandkids....oh and my fave...i just cant have the kids here,last time they came and we watched them for the day,all Alex did was cry....WTF hello, she was like 18 months old and she is 5 now. Tell them all that you need your rest...tell a white lie...hard stressful labor,who can argue that.Tell them that they need to come your way....if they don't then thats their choice.Good luck and take care of yourself!

Honestly, I wouldn't tell even a little white lie; just tell them the truth. If they get upset, too bad. My real mother has time to visit my two sisters who live in the area and when the third comes home she'll make a special trip to see her, she'll even go see her step-daughter; but she doesn't come see us very often (and I live the closest to her). I've come straight out and told her that if she doesn't come see us she won't get to see the kids other then when she's invited to birthday parties. I don't go see her. I've also told her that don't get upset if the kids don't know who she is, or won't go to her.
Take care of yourself and your little ones. If your family gets upset that you won't come up, let it slide. Don't let it get to you and if you feel like you must tell them off, do it. They live only an hour away, and how is it easier for you to travel and go see them? You'll have two little ones, plus whatever they need to eat, play with, and what-not; I make most of my family come here to see us. My Dad and Step-mom don't mind comming over, and when they are having something special, I try to get over there.
Good Luck in what you decide.
We went through this with my mom for a while. We live 2 hours away from both sets of g-parents so everyone's in the same boat. Plus, both of my parents are retired!
After they kept complaining about not seeing the kids enough, we finally just told them, "You are always welcom to come visit us, but travelling 2 hours with 2 kids (now 3) just isn't going to happen that often."
Once they figured that out things got much better.
Offering a dad's perspective on stay-at-home moms! http://www.iheartsahms.blogspot.com/
Alright, I wasn't sure I wanted to join this group, until I read "bitchy little whiners." Thanks for sealing the deal!
Anyway - you are soooo not wrong for feeling that way. How no one sees a 2 year old hanging off of you 24/7 as a bit of a stressor seriously needs a lesson in stressors. My reaction to your post may be a little swayed though - I've had kids hanging off me as well for going on 6 years now. Do what you need to do to make it right for YOUR family, even if that means staying at home for as long as it takes for you to get comfortable with your growing fam.
I hope you find some time for yourself also. Goodness knows that is essential for mental health. Good luck to you. :)
My ex mother and sister in law would always get mad at me when my son was a baby b/c he would cry whenever they would keep him or be around him and they wanted to hold him. They told me that i held him too much and i was making him spoiled so he would not go to anyone else!!!! But they only came around every now and then!!! He did fine at daycare and with MY mom who always came to visit and she lives 2 hours away. the ex inlaws lived in the same town.
I told them that i did not hold him too much but that he just does not see them that often. And if I want to hold MY baby then I will hold them all I want! I wanted to punch them in the face for being stupid.

Hey GM
I think they did...they tried to catch a falling knife with a $29 share issue, but they should have issued it in the low twenties...if this keeps going, they will have no byuers for their new shares...this is a vortex and they will need a very significant intervention to change the trend...from whom, remains to be seen...
Good luck to all KWG longs

How to Place a Bet
Don't be intimidated! It's fun! We at Delaware Park pride ourselves on having friendly and helpful ticket sellers. If you don't understand something, just ask. Our sellers, supervisors, and management team are here to answer your questions and make your day at the races as enjoyable as possible.
Once you have decided what you want to bet, head to the nearest seller's window. There is a specific order in which you should ask for your wager:
#1 State the name of the Track you wish to bet
Not only do we offer wagering on our live racing, we also offer simulcast wagering on tracks from all over the country. On many days we offer over 20 tracks, so this is an important first step in getting your bet down accurately.
#2 State the race number
It's not necessary to state the race number as long as you are betting the next upcoming race. If you are advance wagering (placing a wager on a race later in the day) it is very important that you say the race number.
#3 State the amount you wish to bet
#4 State the type of wager
#5 State the program number(s) of the horse(s) you wish to bet
That's it! Simple, right?
Here are some example bets:
Let me have Delaware Park, $5 to win on number 5
Delaware Park please, a $2 exacta, 2-5.
I want Delaware Park, $10 daily double, 7-12
Self-Service Wagering is also available at the many BetJet machines throughout The Park.
After you have placed your bets, it is important to check your tickets for accuracy. You will want to check the five points listed above to make sure that you have the bet you want.

The Plastic Fantastic (that's what it's called in CanonLand) AF 50 1.8 is the closest thing I believe.
I'm pretty sure the 45 was only available in manual.
bruce muir
Some of the Olympus IS-series were pretty small. These were fixed-zoom lens 35mm SLRs.
I think pentax made the smallest AF SLR.
That said, small can be too small. I prefer the AF slrs with a little more of a grip, such as the nikon N80. Its not the best at anything but it fits me fine.
Go not to the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.
I think small is very relative, even for me (i think as an average size asian, i qualify as small ) the EOS rebel Xs feels to small and needed a battery holder just to make it right.
Add to that none of the zoom lenses are considered small, there's light zoom, but I don't think there's a small AF zoom.
So i guess if small is the question any of the entry level ( EOS rebel, up to n65, pentax *st, etc) paired with any of the 50mm 1.8 or 1.7 would be the one I choose ( that being said the likes of mid class body like elan7 and F80 is not larger and with better functions)
A glimpse of the world through my eyes
Pentax MZ-5/MZ-5N - small bodies - spot average metering(from memory), auto (aperture/shutter) and full match needle (well match LED) manual. I used a couple for a few years. Pentax 50/1.7 and the old F (early series) 70-210 are great/cheap lenses...
I went from using Canon New F1's to these, adn they were easy to change over to as they have actual shutter speed dials and aperture rings you can move....
A camera is only a black box with a hole in it....
my blog...some film, some digital http://andrewk1965.wordpress.com/
Nikon hasn't made any AF Pancakes, i'm not sure if there was enough room for the screwdrive coupling.
Alright all you N65 haters out there, be nice, my 3 year old daughter has an N65 that I got for her with a plastic 28-100 zoom on it and she loves it. I think it has something to do with it weighing less than her Kodak Cameo Motor P&S, this weight difference puzzles me as well.
So put it in perspective, if you were a 3 year old girl that was only using an overweight P&S, or disposable cameras, you would love the N65 too. *L*
"Would you like it if someone that painted in oils told you that you were not making portraits because you were using a camera?"
"Shouldn't it be more about the joy of producing and viewing the photo than what you paid for the camera?"
No hatin' here.
To add insult to injury when I bought that N65 body I got burned by one of the Brooklyn scammers.
Shows you how far we can come
To clarify, small-EST doesn't matter. Small may matter, but if say, the Komica F72 and a half was
"The world's smallest EVER 35mm SLR, measuring 1/10oz LESS than our competitors!"
Would you rush out to buy it? Woo hoo! Look at me, I got THE SMALLEST 35mm SLR Ever!!! All I'm saying is any of the small SLRs are small, and the smallest isn't a selling point. That extra 1/10oz don't mean diddly. Or does it?
"Man, that bear wouldn't have caught him if he had been carrying the Komica F72 and a half. That extra 2/10oz did him in."
When I want a lightweight camera I take my N75. It's probably not THE smallest. But small. And like everyone has mentioned, you do need a lens on the camera. So small loses even more relevance.
In life you only get one great dog, one great car, and one great woman. Pet the dog. Drive the car. Make love to the woman. Don't mix them up.

The other day I got a call from my niece. I could tell from her tone of voice that something was wrong and she quickly confirmed my suspicions.
"I've been laid off," she said. "The company has been sold and we've been told that the new company is not going to offer any of the existing employees a job."
For the past year she has been working as the assistant manager at a mini-warehouse complex, doing good work and enjoying the job. ...

Fourteen long years I've been here in Ottawa, and to this very day ice, skates, and I do NOT get along...at all.
If you can get over the fact that I look like a wobbling penguin on the canal we'll be just fine.
Anyway I'm Juan! (Yes the sexiest and most unique name there is, if that doesn't draw you in I don't know what will) Just a Colombian guy trying to survive these winters. But I do have to thank them for introducing me to skiing. The thrill, the excitement, and the wind in your face as you are speeding down the hill is second to none.
Since I started University I've had to sacrifice some soccer time for library time. But that hasn't changed my passion for the sport. I will live and die a Madridista, and having the chance to go to Madrid this summer was a dream come true!
And although it being a weird looking fruit, Squash has to be my favorite sport to play. Don't get me wrong, I love to watch and play soccer but Squash is my childhood, can't remember the time I wasn't holding a racquet.
Love trying new things and being spontaneous, like right now for example. I'm writing this as I skydive 4000 m from a plane, how does he do that you ask? A LOT of trial and error.
I will always be a nerd at heart; I've done waayyy to many things to even try to deny this fact haha.
Right now my passport only has four different countries stamped in it but I will make it my life goal to make that five, then my next life goal will be to make it six....then seven.....you get the idea :)

Conjunctivitis is an infection that causes discomfort, redness, and irritation in the tissues that line the eyes. It is more commonly referred to as "pink-eye." Most cases of conjunctivitis are caused by viruses or bacteria. Vernal conjunctivitis, on the other hand, is caused by an allergic reaction.
This chronic eye inflammation occurs most frequently during the spring and summer months. This is due to a normal seasonal increase in allergens (such as pollen) in the air. It can also be caused by an allergic reaction to other things, such as:
Mild cases of conjunctivitis can be treated with cold compresses and lubricating eye drops. For more severe cases, antihistamines or anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed.
This condition is caused by reaction to allergens, such as pollen and pet dander.
You are at an increased risk of developing the condition if you have a family history of allergies, especially asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis.
You are also at a higher risk if you have other seasonal allergies.
Symptoms of this condition include:
Your doctor can usually diagnose vernal conjunctivitis by simply examining your eye. If you see an internist first, he or she may refer you to a specialist.
Your doctor may also ask questions about your medical history and whether or not you have seasonal allergies.
The first think to do is to immediately avoid rubbing your eyes because this causes further irritation.
Most cases can be treated at home. At home remedies include:
Learn to identify and avoid the allergen that is causing your inflammation to avoid future irritation. Stay indoors and use air conditioning during high-allergen hours of the day during spring and summer months to help cut down on your exposure to outdoor allergens.
If your symptoms occur frequently or are long-lasting, your doctor can prescribe anti-inflammatory eye drops or antihistamines, such as Otrivine-Antistin.
Most people find relief from their allergy symptoms when the weather turns colder or if they can avoid the allergen in question. If your condition becomes chronic, it can affect your vision or scar your cornea, the outermost layer of the eye that acts as a lens and also protects the eyes from dust, germs, and other harmful agents.
If your symptoms do not improve with home care or begin to interfere with your vision, make an appointment to see your eye doctor, allergist, or primary care physician to avoid long-term complications.

Song of the Day: Kelly Clarkson, "Never Again"
Song of the Day: Kelly Clarkson, "Never Again"
With the angsty anthem "Since U Been Gone," Kelly Clarkson managed to win legions of fans — including folks who probably never expected to care about a song by an "American Idol" champ. Now, she's got a new single called "Never Again," which takes the girl-power bitterness up a notch. Just consider the first couplet: "I hope the ring you gave to her turns her finger green / I hope when you're in bed with her, you think of me."
Rock guitars and deep synth strings just enhance the mood, and as with "Since U Been Gone," the chorus full of pumping crescendos. I'm not sure it matches the energy of her bit hit, though; listen to it here and tell me what you think.

Country's first and only female prime minister transformed a fractious nation
nepal Love her or loathe her, one thing's beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher transformed Britain.
The "Iron Lady," who ruled for 11 remarkable years, imposed her will on a fractious, rundown nation — breaking the unions, triumphing in a far-off war, and selling off state industries at a record pace. She left behind a leaner government and more prosperous nation by the time a political mutiny ousted her from No. 10 Downing St.
Thatcher's spokesman, Tim Bell, said the former prime minister died from a stroke Monday morning at the Ritz hotel in London.
As flags were flown at half-staff at Buckingham Palace, Parliament and Downing Street for the 87-year-old, praise for Thatcher and her leadership poured in from around the world.
President Barack Obama said many Americans "will never forget her standing shoulder to shoulder with President (Ronald) Reagan, reminding the world that we are not simply carried along by the currents of history. We can shape them with moral conviction, unyielding courage and iron will."
For admirers, Thatcher was a savior who rescued Britain from ruin and laid the groundwork for an extraordinary economic renaissance. For critics, she was a heartless tyrant who ushered in an era of greed that kicked the weak out onto the streets and let the rich become filthy rich.
"Let us not kid ourselves. She was a very divisive figure," said Bernard Ingham, Thatcher's press secretary for her entire term. "She was a real toughie. She was a patriot with a great love for this country, and she raised the standing of Britain abroad."
Thatcher was the first — and still only — female prime minister in Britain's history.
Her boxy, black handbag became such a recognizable part of her image that her way of dressing down ministers and opponents became known as "handbagging."
A grocer's daughter, she rose to the top of Britain's snobbish hierarchy the hard way, and envisioned a classless society that rewarded hard work and determination.
Like her close friend and political ally Reagan, Thatcher seemed motivated by an unshakable belief that free markets would build a better country than reliance on a strong, central government. Another thing she shared with the American president: a tendency to reduce problems to their basics, choose a path, and follow it to the end, no matter what the opposition.
She formed a deep attachment to the man she called "Ronnie" — some spoke of it as a schoolgirl crush. Still, she would not back down when she disagreed with him on important matters, even though the United States was the richer and vastly stronger partner in the so-called "special relationship."
Thatcher was at her brashest when Britain was challenged. When Argentina's military junta seized the remote Falkland Islands from Britain in 1982, she did not hesitate, even though her senior military advisers said it might not be feasible to reclaim the islands.
She simply would not allow Britain to be pushed around, particularly by military dictators, said Ingham, who recalls the Falklands War as the tensest period of Thatcher's three terms in power. When diplomacy failed, she dispatched a military task force that accomplished her goal, despite the naysayers.
In deciding on war, Thatcher overruled Foreign Office specialists who warned her about the dangers of striking back. She was infuriated by warnings about the dangers to British citizens in Argentina and the difficulty of getting support from the U.N. Security Council.
"When you are at war you cannot allow the difficulties to dominate your thinking; you have to set out with an iron will to overcome them," she said in her memoir, "Downing Street Years."
''And anyway what was the alternative? That a common or garden dictator should rule over the queen's subjects and prevail by fraud and violence? Not while I was prime minister."
Thatcher's determination to reclaim the islands brought her into conflict with Reagan, who dispatched Secretary of State Alexander Haig on a shuttle mission to London and Buenos Aires to seek a peaceful solution, even as British warships approached the Falklands.
Haig's peace mission soon collapsed.
The relatively quick triumph of British forces revived Thatcher's political fortunes, which had been faltering along with the British economy. She won an overwhelming victory in 1983, tripling her majority in the House of Commons.
She trusted her gut instinct, famously concluding early on that Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev represented a clear break in the Soviet tradition of autocratic rulers. She pronounced that the West could "do business" with him, a position that influenced Reagan's vital dealings with Gorbachev in the twilight of the Soviet era.
It was heady stuff for a woman who had little training in foreign affairs when she triumphed over a weak field of indecisive Conservative Party candidates to take over the party leadership in 1975 and ultimately run as the party's candidate for prime minister.
She profited from the enormous crisis facing the Labour Party government led by Harold Wilson and later James Callaghan. Britain was near economic collapse, its currency propped up by the International Monetary Fund, and its once-defiant spirit seemingly broken.
The sagging Labour government had no parliamentary majority after 1977, and the next year it suffered through a "winter of discontent" with widespread strikes disrupting vital public services, including hospital care and even grave digging. The government's effort to hold the line on inflation led to chaos in the streets.
It was then, Thatcher wrote in her memoirs, that she came to the unshakable, almost mystical belief that only she could save Britain. She cited a deep "inner conviction" that this would be her role.
Events seemed to be moving her way when she led the Conservative Party to victory in 1979, with a commitment to reduce the state's role and champion private enterprise.
Thatcher set about upending decades of liberal doctrine, successfully challenging Britain's welfare state and socialist traditions, in the process becoming the reviled bête noire of the country's left-wing intelligentsia.
She is perhaps best remembered for her hard-line position during the pivotal strike in 1984 and 1985 when she faced down coal miners in an ultimately successful bid to break the power of Britain's unions.
Her downfall came after she trampled over cautionary advice from her own ministers in 1989 and 1990 by imposing a hugely controversial "community charge" tax that was quickly dubbed a "poll tax" by opponents. It was designed to move Britain away from a property tax and instead imposed a flat rate tax on every adult except for retirees and people who were registered unemployed.
Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets in London and other cities, leading to some of the worst riots in the British capital in more than a century.
For Conservatives in Parliament, it was a question of survival. They feared vengeful voters would turn them out of office at the next election, and for many that fear trumped any gratitude they might have felt for their longtime leader.
Eight months after the riots, Thatcher was gone, struggling to hold back tears as she left Downing Street after being ousted by her own party.

Why Outlook/Exchange?
Frankly, switching to a new email system is a lot of work. Everyone will need a new account, old mail will have to be imported or archived, Outlook/Exchange requires some important cultural changes in the way we store our email and maintain our calendars. We're making the transition because there are significant advantages to individual users (you) and (we hope) to the organization in moving from Eudora to Outlook/Exchange.
Over the next few days I'll be posting five reasons you might want to use Outlook/Exchange.
Reason One: Outlook/Exchange has integrated email, meeting planning, and calendar scheduling
Currently, you need different applications for handling email, your calendar, and scheduling meetings. Many people in Extension are using a combination of email and phone calls for setting up meetings (often the meeting organizer sends out a list of possible dates and tabulates the feedback).
With Outlook/Exchange, email, calendar scheduling and meeting planning can all be done within the same program. A meeting organizer can check schedules, pick the best meeting time, and send an email announcing the details. People attending the meeting can accept or decline the meeting time or suggest an alternate time. Meeting notices and updates appear in users' mailboxes, but once acted upon (accepted, declined or alternatives offered) the details about the meeting, including the date and time are automatically added to the user's calendar.
Remember: you can't switch to Outlook/Exchange yet. Specific details about the changeover will be coming soon.
There's already been some talk around Extension about one of our IT projects for this year--moving from Eudora for email to Outlook/Exchange for email and schedule sharing.
A series of official announcements will be coming in the next few weeks to discuss what we're doing, why we think it will be a good thing for you, what the specific changes will be and what you'll need to do, as well as training opportunities.
In addition, we're going to be putting posts up here on TechNews at least once a week from now until, well, we don't have anything more to say. Coming soon will be posts that will talk about:
Why switch to Outlook/Exchange
Five reasons you might want to use Outlook/Exchange
Outlook and security
How does Outlook/Exchange differ from Eudora?
What will I have to do?
What's in it for me?
...and others.
Note: We are switching to Outlook/Exchange, which is different than Outlook alone (the application that's currently on your computer). Switching to Outlook today won't speed the transition to Outlook/Exchange later. Hold tight for now. More information is coming your way.
