Skip to comments.PJM Sources Report Details of Alleged Cain Incident
Posted on 11/03/2011 10:04:50 AM PDT by bbernard
Adding to the ongoing Herman Cain sexual harassment controversy, two sources have now confirmed to PJ Media that a female employee of the National Restaurant Association told associates she had been brought by Mr. Cain to his Crystal City, Virginia residence where she alleged he had taken advantage of me.
One source, a male, told PJ Media:
Herman took advantage of seniority and power with a young woman. It was an abuse of power.
Implying that coming forward with the accusations was an ordeal for the young woman, the source also said:
Who do you believe, a CEO or a mid-level staffer? It was unsettling for her to make charges.
The name of the woman who was in her early twenties at the time of the alleged incident has been confirmed by PJ Media. We have chosen not to reveal her identity for reasons of discretion.
Both sources, one male and one female, worked at the time mid-1990s for the governmental affairs department of the National Restaurant Association, as did the woman.
(Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
So she is saying he touched her?
Drip, drip, drip - NOT.
"What did Tom do next, Miss May Ella?"
Unless he inserted a cigar while under the desk in the oval office I don't care! Clinton set a new standard whether the MSM wants to acknowledge it or not.
I have a two word reply for lefties: Juanita Broaddrick.
If he took her home and they slept in the same bed, Cain is finished. No way around it. Herman is a married man and even if she wasn't pressured or harassed into anything, this would be enough to destroy him in the Republican party.
So, she woke up in Cain's bed after a night of drinking and it is his fault.
Typical BS from a woman who can't control herself.
Sexual harassment? I think not. Generally, if she spends the night, it doesn't qualify as harassment. If this is true (and I am VERY skeptical), it's infidelity - and a character issue. I don't see this as what they are advertising, and while I will think far less of him if it turns out to be true, it's not sexual harassment or an abuse of power.
If it were true the bimbos that haven't signed a confidentiality agreement would be blabbing their heads off in hopes of making millions with book deals and interview fees. The fact that they aren't tells me this is a huge pile of steaming BS. Rush nailed it yesterday. The reason this looks just like what they did to Clarence Thomas is because it's is exactly like what they did to Clarence Thomas. We now know who Dims and Republican establishment types fear the most.
First, you have to believe the woman is telling the truth.
Sounds like this is a response to people saying that asking somebody if they wanted to come to your room isn't sexual harassment, as long as they leave you alone when you say no.
The story keeps shifting, depending on what the public response is - whether the latest stuff flung at Cain actually "sticks". Watching the accusations evolve would be hilarious if it wasn't so sickening.
"We have chosen not to reveal her identity for reasons of discretion."
How can you expect anyone to believe this when they refuse to identify the indiviuals?
This cracks me up......
Yeah, just like Newt Gingrich, Ike, that guy in Louisiana, etc., etc.
can someone please come forward and annonomously claim that Romney mooned them with his magic mormon underware?
It was only his fault after it became financially lucrative to report it in the media.
That looks like an Okie.
Who do you believe, a supreme court nominee or some ditzy story about public hairs on a Coke can?
Particularly when the ditz followed the gentleman on two job promotions and was promised fame and fortune for her testimony by libtards who couldn't stand to see another promotion for a man who has behaved in nothing less than gentlemanly fashion for more than two decades since?
Excellent points. The woman made her own decision to have sex with a man — then, she castigates the man for accepting her embellishments. Be careful guys; the woods are full of this vile type today.
That is funny right there.....
>> Unless he inserted a cigar while under the desk in the oval office I dont care!
I care. Character is important in a POTUS; I don't care what poor example Clintoon set.
On the other hand, I just can't get too worked up when those with a transparently anti-Cain agenda push vague innuendo from anonymous sources.
If this turns out to be true, then the GOP is screwed, blued, and tattooed. No viable conservative candidate. Mitt is the nominee, Barry the Boob gets his 2nd term (and possible dictatorship for life), and our country gone with no hope of recovery.
We've now got a full Clinton on our hands.
Do we know if this woman got drunk at a business event and was taken to Cain's home to sleep it off?
To hell with this lying BEEYOTCH. I am still voting for Cain.
To hell with this lying BEEYOTCH. I am still voting for Cain.
To hell with this lying BEEYOTCH. I am still voting for Cain.
This is one time we agree. The 'he made inappropriate comments' didn't hurt him, so now they are ramping up the accusations.
Before long, Cain will be accused of raping her dog...
"I just cant get too worked up when those with a transparently anti-Cain agenda push vague innuendo from anonymous sources."
Exactly.... Until we get something concrete I will continue to support him.
So, are further "detail" leaking because it's the normal progression of news or because the attempted smear hasn't yet work?
Cain says the story will vindicate him; unnamed sources says it'll finish him.
Dirty politics is alive and well.
So Cain's wife didn't live with him in VA? I'm confused.
That's funny...
This entire sex scandal keeps getting more messy with each passing day.
Cain&CO hasn't handled it well at all and that has made the situation worse.
Normally I would agree but then why wasn't it the end of Bill Clinton!?! This is a smear campaign plain and simple.
Well, I guess that David Vitter won't be endorsing Cain in the near future..
If this is true—and I have no idea that it is, but usually the made up sexual harassment charges are decidely more mild—this is worse than Clinton and his cigar. They were about the same age as subordinates, and the Cain woman was clearly intoxicated.
From comments:
"I want to hear what Mary Jo Kopechne has to say about this."
This story is written in such an odd way. "She woke up in his bed". What does that mean? She woke up next to Mr Cain? He was in another room or absent from the apartment and may have not even spent the night there himself? If he was in the apt surely they must have said something to each other.
Hmmmm. Since there are two "sources" they all had to be together at Mr. Cain's apartment. Were they all in his bed? They ALL had to at least be at his apartment to be credible "sources", right?
I'm with you. If this is true, I will be very disappointed. We can't have a candidate who has done this sort of thing to a twenty-something.
Hotair has a link to the article as well. The MSM will be onto this story by 6pm tonight.
The female source told PJ Media that she witnessed the woman entering a taxi with Herman Cain.
Neither source has direct knowledge of what occurred at Mr. Cains residence, but several days after the alleged incident, the male source witnessed the woman returning to her workplace distraught. She was very upset.
One source told PJ Media: Some people didnt believe [the accuser] at the time she made the allegation. The female source recalls the woman continued working at the NRA for several weeks after the encounter; the male source recalls the woman continued working there for a few months.
The anonymous sources admit that "some people didn't believe her" at the time.
He's also responsible for Natalie Holloway .
I think everyone needs to look at this in the context of the times. As I recall, the government was in high gear pursuing claims of sexual abuse/discrimination in the 1990's. Claims were often made without basis, knowing that companies would settle quickly rather than face the wrath of the government. Once innocent comments led to dismissals and I personally saw several co-workers released for comments that merely got giggles decades earlier. As far as I'm concerned anything that didn't go to trial, is unsubstantiated or not backed by an admission of guilt, should not be discussed. Hearing it from the woman, who obviously complained for financial gain rather than pursuing criminal charges, would do nothing to influence my thoughts on the matter.

When I was in school (oh cue old music), we only had graduation ceremonies for high school and college. We had award ceremonies at the end of the year, but not "graduation" ceremonies with little caps + gowns, diplomas, etc
I didn't even know about "middle school" graduations until I met my husband - and he showed me a picture of his sister's.
Now, I am finding out that a lot of schools have "graduation" day for nearly every grade. Or at least for major school transitions - pre-k, k, 6th grade, 8th grade, high school
Not that I don't think it'd be freaking adorable to see my kids in mini-caps and gowns at the age of like 5. But... it seems so much?
What are your guys' thoughts?

Limerick fans have been starved of success and the 2013 season will be their first time in the top flight since 1994, so there's no immediate pressure on Taylor, a former Drogheda United player, to win the league as he says he wants to build for the future.
"We do have targets. We have plans to be a Premier Division club next season. Success will come because of hunger and desire. When you have a committed bunch, success follows," Taylor said. "There are very few jobs around where the chairman has as much passion for success as Limerick's.
"People may have said the same about Pep Guardiola. If you are a manager with a desire for success then you have got to think about putting foundations down and not to be looking for a short-term fix.
"I am not looking at Limerick as a three-year job and that's me away. I have massive ambitions. I'm looking long-term, looking at bringing young boys through.
"I want players who have desire and ambition. You can spend €100,000 on a guy and he can be the wrong type. I'll do my background checks on someone and make sure they are the right person for the club."
Limerick have only a handful of players signed up for next season but Taylor says he has targets in mind, in Ireland and the UK but also in Spain.

Hey everyone, I'm one of the organizers for ReMIX South (last year ReMiX Atlanta), and I'd like to invite everyone to join us for ReMIX South. We've got a full track on UX, along with Web, Mobile, Tablet and Kinect tracks. Kicking off things is Albert Shum, Director of the Windows Phone Design team, giving the keynote followed by great talks from the likes of Rick Baeeaza, August De Los Reyes, Jen Downs, James Chittenden, Zachary Pousman, Luke Hamilton, Steve Dawson and many more.
I'm working with a team where we want to be able to show improvement, decreased time on task, after we re-design the UI. I want to track time on task for a web based application. Has anyone captured time on task, and possibly click and scroll data from a particular web app? How do you pull the data for that app out of all of the other web related work that person may be doing?
Thanks for your insights,
I am a junior interface designer living here in Dallas Texas. I just recently lost my job in telemarketing for social media, in which I really didn't like, I tried reasoning with my company about interaction design but they wouldn't hear me out. I would like to start an organization that mirrors the values of ixDA's principles, yet targets the younger demographic. I would like to educate high school students about interaction design creating youth clubs and fostering an interest early. I'm hoping to get collegiate students interested as well to gain more colleagues in the industry.
I'd like to promote an event next Thursday night Aug 5, "Web Design For Startups", where I'll be a panelist along with Christopher Fahey of Behavior Design, Seth Giammanco of Minds On Design Lab, and Dan Maccarone of Hard Candy Shell. The event is hosted by NYC-based entrepeneur meetup group UltraLightStartups.
Good morning & good afternoon to some of you-
¡Hola Gente!
El martes 8 de junio se realizará la 4ª Jornada "Por una Web Sin Barreras para las Personas con Discapacidad" , en la cual yo seré orador en uno de los paneles.
Anyone have significant experience with Tobii eye-tracking? I'd be interested in any experience you've had performing studies and evaluating technology solutions...
Any thoughts on evaluations with TV ads, iPhone apps, websites, etc???
Hi Everyone.
I am doing an impossible research. Currently I am trying to find out how all the different telecom self-service portals work. As it's almost impossible for me to be a customer for all mobile carrier (around the world), I am asking the community to help.
This thread can act as a resrouce gathering for pattern study in telecom self-service. (if we manage to gather enough screenshots) I think this would be benefitial to everyone as this is not just a portal, not just a website, but more of a service design on the web.
There is this project I'm working on that is for pet owners, breeders
and vets. They have identified 15 consumer types between the three
main segments I've mentioned. The client is requesting we create
personas for all 15. In my experience I've rarely have had to create
more than 4 on any given project. For this project I believe I can get
away with 3.
Does anyone have any thoughts as too what is too many or too few
personas? Have you come across a similar client request? And how did
you deal with it?

Wednesday July 9, 2008
ATLANTA (AP) -- Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield has
reached agreement in a child-support case, avoiding a court hearing
that could have led to a call for jail time.
Randy Kessler, attorney for the mother of Holyfield's
10-year-old son, said Wednesday the boxer paid $9,000 in back child
support and agreed to meet his other financial obligations within a
month, including private school payments, health insurance and a
college trust fund.
Holyfield, working to resolve his financial problems, also
agreed to pay some of the attorney fees for Kessler's client, Toi
Irvin. The agreement was reached before a scheduled deposition and
two days before a court hearing, at which Kessler was planning to
ask for jail time if Holyfield didn't pay up.

Product Details
Strapless, flowy and ethereal, this dress has classic screen-star appeal. It's made from our drapey crinkled silk chiffon and has a fitted, figure-flattering bodice with a fuller skirt that beautifully skims the floor. Crisscrossing panels form a curve-enhancing, slightly dropped waist, making it a style that works well on all body types (translation: you're going to wow them—and him).
Size & Fit Details
Ava gown
Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by destinationwedding Miami wedding I wore this dress in my Miami wedding this month. The gown is elegant and was simply stunning with a bit of jewelry and a sash. I am a pear shape and had it slightly tapered in the waist for an even more custom fit--although the dress looked great without alterations--except for the length, of course. I highly recommend this gown. January 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by PrincessMoonbeam So much more beautiful in person! If I had seen this dress first online, I would've completely passed it by. But I tried it on at a J Crew bridal boutique and it's truly stunning! I don't normally like strapless dresses (can you say armpit fat?) but this dress is incredibly flattering. I'm 5'10", slender but curvy, street size 6. The 6 fit like a dream and was even long enough for a 2" or 3" heel. The chiffon is incredibly soft and flowy. Full disclosure: I wound up buying a different dress for my wedding, but this was a very close contender. If you're looking for a simple dreamy wedding dress, you really can't beat the value of this dress! April 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by HH812 Loved the Flowy Fabric I'm 5'10 with a classic pear shape. The flowy fabric didn't accentuate my big hips, which I'm pretty self conscious about. The length was long enough for heels, though too long for flats. After trying it on though, I realized how broad my shoulders looked. I liked the dress, but I just looked awkward with my bare shoulders. It wasn't the one : ( But, this is a good option for those looking for a flowy, sweet look. March 27, 2015

Former Croatian Prime Minister Arrested In Austria Amid Corruption Probe
Former Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader was arrested in Austria after leaving his country amid a corruption investigation, the BBC reported.
Sanader had left Croatia shortly before parliament lifted his immunity from prosecution. The warrant said he was suspected of conspiracy and abuse of power, according to the BBC report. Sanader has denied allegations raised in the local media about being connected to illegal financing of his conservative HDZ political party. He also says the accusations are politically motivated, according to the BBC report.
"Our police tried to find him and we located him on the highway this afternoon," said Austrian interior ministry spokesman Alexander Marakovits.
"He will go to the Salzburg provincial court and then the authorities will have to decide what will happen with him in the next days or the next weeks," he said.
Sanader served as prime minister from 2003 to 2009.

SIKESTON -- The Sikeston Bulls dropped their third straight with a 3-2 loss to the Tennessee T's on Sunday at VFW Memorial Stadium.
The defeat dumped the Bulls into the basement of the six-team Kit League standings with a 1-3 record.
Tied at 2-2 going into the ninth inning, the T's scored the game-winning run off reliever Ryan Anderson, spoiling a stellar effort by starter Justin Green. Green went 7 1/3 innings, giving up one run on two hits with seven strikeouts and five walks.
The Bulls, led by Jared Elmore and Clint Wallace with two hits each, outhit the T's 8-5.
Sikeston suffered another close loss, again on a last-inning rally, on Saturday, falling 3-1 to Tennessee. The T's, currently the league frontrunner, scored two runs in the top of the ninth for the victory.
Bulls' starter Andrew Moss took the hard-luck loss, going 8 2/3 innings while giving up three runs -- two earned -- on five hits with six strikeouts and five walks.
Anthony Albonetti picked up the win, tossing a three hitter in seven innings with eight strikeouts and four bases on balls.
Former Sikeston High School standout Jamie Puckett, Sean Bard, Tyson Mulvaney and Wil Moore split the Bull's four hits.
Sikeston hosts Tennessee tonight at 7:05 p.m.

ATLANTA (AP) — Officials say about $8 million in grants and loans will be flowing to economic development projects in rural Georgia.
Gov. Nathan Deal and members of the OneGeorgia Authority Board approved the awards in a meeting Tuesday.
Deal said he hopes the funds will spur job creation in communities hardest-hit by the recession.
The board approved nine Economic Development Growth and Expansion awards worth $2.5 million. They are projected to create more than 1,300 jobs and retain another 1,075.
Also approved were 11 equity fund awards totaling $5.5 million. The fund assists communities and regions in building infrastructure needed to support economic development.
The OneGeorgia Authority was created with about one-third of the state's tobacco settlement to assist Georgia's most economically challenged areas.

Due to incorrect installation of Dish on the roof, we had a huge leak and water came pouring thru a light fixture in our newly remodeled walk in shower in the master bath damaging the ceiling....
(I should mention that when the dish was installed my husband requested it not to be installed on the roof and was told that's where it had to go.)
We reported the problem immediately (to at least six different people )and was told not to make any repairs until their inspector could assess the damage....we informed them that rain was forecast for the next several days and we were concerned not only about the roof damage but that the ceiling was about to collapse...they then instructed us to take pictures (which we did)....they then sent a tech out to move the dish....(which he moved off the roof )...he saw the damage before any repairs were made.
They then sent out two inspectors, who saw the roof after repairs were made....they also stressed the fact that we should have pictures.
We were then referred to Nick Vigil in Littleton, Co. who asked for a letter describling the problem along with pictures....which we complied with.
He in turn passed us off to Mr. Sunil (also in Colorodo)....I last spoke to him on 9/11/12 at 1:15p.m.
He was very accomodating and pacified me by saying he had to check in with his field man and if I didn't hear from him in a couple of days, I should call him on his direct line....which I did several times a week for three weeks....I left a message each time and never heard back from him.
I then e-mailed Dish on 10/2/12 and asked for their co-operation in accepting some sort of responsibility ...also asking them if I was obligated to hire an attorney or taking this matter to small claims court...again....no response.
To add insult to injury, they added $65.00 to one of our bills for the Tech's visit....we did get that one waived!!
Thank you so much for having a site such as yours to vent my frustration....

How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Date.Paragraph)
Quote #1
We're so fortunate here, away from the turmoil. We wouldn't have to give a moment's thought to all this suffering if it weren't for the fact that we're so worried about those we hold dear, whom we can no longer help. I feel wicked sleeping in a warm bed, while somewhere out there my dearest friends are dropping from exhaustion or being knocked to the ground. (11/19/1942.5)
Anne feels safe and does not focus on the fact that, despite her hiding spot, her life is still at grave risk.
Quote #2
Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They're allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they're robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone. The Christians in Holland are also living in fear because their sons are being sent to Germany. Everyone is scared. Every night hundreds of planes pass over Holland on their way to German cities, to sow their bombs on German soil. Every hour hundreds, or maybe even thousands, of people are being killed in Russia and Africa. No one can keep out of the conflict, the entire world is at war, and even though the Allies are doing better, the end is nowhere in sight. As for us, we're quite fortunate. Luckier than millions of people. It's quiet and safe here, and we're using our money to buy food. We're so selfish that we talk about "after the war" and look forward to new clothes and shoes [. . .] (1/13/1943.3-4)
Anne describes the war outside and how all the suffering leads to death, but she does not connect these ideas to her own mortality; she feels safely removed.
Quote #3
I see the eight of us in the Annex as if we were a patch of blue sky, surrounded by menacing black clouds. The perfectly round spot on which we're standing is still safe, but the clouds are moving in on us, and the ring between us and the approaching danger is being pulled tighter and tighter. We're surrounded by darkness and danger, and in our desperate search for a way out we keep bumping into each other. We look at the fighting down below and the peace and beauty up above. In the meantime, we've been cut off by the dark mass of clouds, so that we can go neither up nor down. It looms before us like an impenetrable wall, trying to crush us [. . .] (11/8/1943.5)
Anne recognizes that as safe as they are, the danger of death comes ever closer to her family.

Country Forecast Mexico
- September 2015
- Region: Mexico
- 48 Pages
- The Economist Intelligence Unit
Background: Between 1929 and 2000, Mexico was governed by the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), a party that has shifted from its nationalist and interventionist origins towards free-market policies and economic liberalisation. The presidential victory in 2000 of the centre-right Partido Acción Nacional marked a transition to democratic pluralism, but political effectiveness was hindered by a divided legislature and slow progress on structural reforms. Sluggish growth and soaring violent crime contributed to the PRI returning to power under Enrique Peña Nieto in December 2012.
Political structure: The political system is presidential, bicameral and federal (31 states plus a federal district covering the capital, Mexico City). Presidential terms are six years, without possibility of re-election. Under the transition to democratic pluralism, the centre of political power has shifted away from the executive towards the legislature and local governments. A recent political reform lifted a ban on re-election for legislators and mayors, allowed independent candidates, and created a single electoral institute with greater oversight over state and local elections that are often marred by irregularities.
Policy issues: Orthodox fiscal and monetary policies underpin macroeconomic stability, but dependency on oil-related revenue (around one-third of the budget) limits countercyclical measures. The pace of reform has accelerated markedly under Mr Peña Nieto, with the adoption of transformative structural reforms approved in 2013-14, including in the energy, education and telecommunications sectors. Constraints on long-term growth include a lack of competition in the internal market and a deficient education system, as well as persistent institutional flaws resulting in rampant corruption across all levels of government and limited progress in curbing high levels of crime.

Antonio Tarver: I Don't Want To See Roy Jones Get Hurt
By Keith Idec
Roy Jones Jr. hasn't been the same fighter since Antonio Tarver drilled him with a devastating left hand in the second round of their May 2004 rematch in Las Vegas.
Eight years and six losses later, Jones is scheduled to fight yet again. The former four-division champion from Pensacola, Fla., will oppose Poland's Dawid Kostecki in a 10-round light heavyweight bout June 30 in Lodz, Poland.
Tarver can't quite understand why Jones continues to box, but Jones' longtime antagonist wouldn't criticize Jones' decision while promoting his own June 2 fight against Nigeria's Lateef Kayode (18-0, 14 KOs).
"I try not to sit high and look low on anybody," Tarver said. "You know what I'm saying? I mean, Roy Jones is a great fighter. I'm not in his corner, I'm not in his stable. I don't have nothing but an opinion and, you know, I don't know what to say. His reasons for fighting, obviously, he has them. I can't say … I don't want to see him get hurt. Basically, that's all I can say.
"And hopefully, he can find a way to either win a fight or turn back the hands of time, or something, give him some type of satisfaction, where he can say, 'You know what? I've done it all. My name and my legacy will live forever,' and you know, he's had enough. But that's totally his call. I don't know his reasons for fighting. Obviously, he has them and he feels like he needs to get back in there and put himself in harm's way."
Though they're both 43 and Tarver intends to continue fighting, the distinct difference between him and Jones is that Tarver has never even been down in any of his 35 professional fights, let alone knocked out. Kostecki (39-1, 25 KOs) is not considered a huge puncher and he hasn't been tested against top opposition, but Jones (55-8, 40 KOs) has been brutally knocked out by Tarver, Johnson and Denis Lebedev, in addition to a first-round technical knockout defeat to Danny Green.
"Roy took a lot of punishment late in this career, starting with that first fight we had in Vegas," Tarver said, referring to a November 2003 light heavyweight title fight Jones won by majority decision. "That's the difference. That's how you calculate if a fighter is a shot fighter, if he's a hurt fighter or if he's a damaged fighter, by the amount of punishment that he takes. You got some 24-year-old, 23-year-old shot fighters. You've got some fighters out there that have taken so much punishment they can't pass physicals to get clearance to fight.
"So, you know, it happened late in Roy Jones' career because he really rarely even got hit or hurt when he was younger. But I don't know. I really can't tell. Like I said, Roy Jones took a long time before he even challenged himself. You know what I mean? This guy had a contract with HBO that said that he could take whatever [opponent] he wanted, and they're going to show it. They're going to give him 'X' amount of dollars to fight this fight. Who would blame him for not wanting to go and fight [Joe] Calzaghe? Who would blame him for not wanting to rematch James Toney? Who would blame him for not wanting to fight the guys who were available at the time? [Dariusz] Michalczewski, a long-standing champion. Those are the guys that Roy Jones Jr. should've been facing when he was in his prime, but those fights never happened because he was too busy fighting Richard Frazier and other type of fighters that really didn't add up right, that really couldn't carry Roy's jock. You know what I mean?"
While their rematch was the more obvious turning point of Jones' career, Tarver thinks their first fight was actually the bout that changed Jones for the worse.
"I felt I beat Roy," Tarver said. "Roy took a lot of punishment that fight. That's what enabled me to knock him out the second time, because I hit him with shots. He took shots just on will [in their first fight], but I hurt him a lot of times in that fight. To the body, to the head. He took a beating on the ropes.
"I'm hitting this guy five, six, seven, eight times, with hard shots. Roy was never the same after that fight. That's why I was able to knock him out in the second fight. And he was never the same since then. So, you know, it's about the punishment a fighter takes."

I am afraid that the tab title "Text" in the editor is going to cause confusion.
People who do not know html (basic users) where kept away from the tab by the scary name "html". I am sure new users will start using that tab now if they want to "just enter plain text".
What is the thought behind adding this confusion? Why not just call a spade a spade, if its html then call it html is my opinion.

We liked:
-Excellent location, easy to walk within minutes to restaurants, bars, shops, cafes. Perfect with little baby.
-Spacious lounge & dining area (we were 3 adults and a 5 month old baby).
-2 good size double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
-Elevator (but 3 steps to get up to it made it a little tricky with pushchair).
-Quiet - good for sleeping!
-Lucky it was available at short notice.
We didn't like:
-No electric kettle - just one for the hob - far too time consuming for tea & making baby bottles!
-No AC in the bedrooms, only in lounge. We had to have the lounge at lowest temperature for a few hours to help cools the bedrooms.
-Tiny microwave (our standard MAM baby bottles wouldn't fit).
-En suite bathroom did not have a shower curtain.
-Poor water pressure in showers.
Top flat, super service!

Beautiful apartment directly in the city center (pedestrian zone), you can recommend. Everything is within walking distance.
Apartment was as described, clean and well furnished. 3rd floor without elevator is a challenge with large suitcases.
Get back paid deposit on departure immediately.
The position indicated on the map is not correct. The apartment is as described in the text in the Carrer de Jaume II in the pedestrian zone
Schöne Wohnung direkt in der Innenstadt (Fußgängerzone), kann man empfehlen. Alles ist zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Wohnung war wie beschrieben, sauber und gut eingerichtet. 3. Stock ohne Lift ist mit großen Koffern eine Herausforderung.
Gezahlte Kaution bei Abreise sofort zurückerhalten.
Die angezeigte Position auf der Karte ist nicht richtig. Die Wohnung liegt wie im Text beschrieben in der Carrer de Jaume II in der Fußgängerzone
The appartment was well suited for Our need - 3 bedrooms and 3 Bath rooms for 6 girlfriends. The double in one of the rooms was very narrow, but the other beds were all right. The apartment's location in the old part of Palma was very Nice. It was a quiet area With no traffic noice. The negative part was that there was no list. With Heavy suitcases this was a chellenge. But we managed and enjoyed Our stay.
We were surprised that we had to pay a deposit of Euro 250 in cash when the rent was paid upfront. That was a New experience. I have recently rented a house in Floride which I paid upfront, and no depositum was needed. The house I rented was not through Windu.
Owner is kind. Apartment very nice, clean, right in the center of Palma. Small minus - the lack of air conditioning in bedrooms.
We were in November 14. fourth a couple of days in the nice apartment and have felt very comfortable. Transfer worked well, was very friendly. The area is great, lots of nice restaurants, very centrally located.
The apartment was very well equipped, very clean.
3rd floor without lift with suitcases a bit of a challenge, but that makes it so only once.
Can thoroughly recommend, we would stay here again!
Wir waren im November 14 zu viert ein paar Tage in der netten Wohnung und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Übergabe hat gut funktioniert, war sehr freundlich. Die Gegend ist toll, viele nette Lokale, ganz zentral gelegen.
Die Wohnung war sehr gut ausgestattet, ganz sauber.
3. Stock ohne Lift ist mit den Koffern eine kleine Herausforderung, aber das macht man ja nur einmal.
Kann man uneingeschränkt empfehlen, wir würden wieder hier wohnen!
We stated in the loft with 4 persons in our twenties looking for a place for our own to have a relaxing holiday.
Location: In the center of the city between two main squares. One with a big shopping mall and bus station and the other near the main shopping district and tapas bars were most of the locals seem to come.
Accommodation: very neat and specious for four persons. two room; one with a two-person bed an another with two one-person beds. We didn't cook in the apartment however there sufficient supplies in the open kitchen.
service: after a text message the owner met us at the apartment very promptly and arranged everything with us.
Generally speaking: very nice place to use as a hub to go into Palma and explore the island. We for one very much enjoyed our stay.
Big thanks for Spain Rentals for having us over.
Fabian, The Netherlands.
The apartment holds what the ad promises! Everything is in good condition, the location is great and Salvador a more friendly and helpful hosts. Having to heave heavy bags through the narrow stairway, however, is a real challenge.
Die Wohnung hält, was die Anzeige verspricht! Alles ist in gutem Zustand, die Lage ist top und Salvador ein freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Schweres Gepäck durch das enge Treppenhaus wuchten zu müssen, ist allerdings eine echte Herausforderung.

Sarah Tiana Live at the Arlington Drafthouse
Sarah Tiana has been a working comedian in Los Angeles since 2003. Originally from Calhoun, GA, Sarah's act emphasizes the ups and downs of a Southern childhood while peppering in her opinions of dating and sports, or the sport of dating. Recently Sarah has been recognized for her "breakout performance" as Carmen in four episodes of Reno 911!'s 7th season. In 2005 she helped create a sketch comedy company called The Strait Jacket Society as a way to help young actors in Hollywood accelerate their stage time and gain exposure while still having fun. This sketch comedy experience also helped her become a familiar face on Showtime's "Jeff Garcia's Low Budget Madness" and "In The Flow With Affion Crockett." A downright American, Sarah has done 9 tours of comedy for the troops including Germany, Singapore, Afghanistan, Guam, Okinawa, and several Wounded Warrior Facilities. A recent trip to Iraq is highlighted in the documentary film, "We Love You Mrs. Bevins"(available on Amazon and Netflix). Sarah recently wrote and starred in "The Burn" for Comedy Central with Jeffrey Ross. She has also been seen on E!, Reelz TV, the TV Guide Channel, Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen, NFL.com and PlentyofFish.com. She will never be seen in the three pilots she taped last year.

LA sheriff's deputies wound alleged gunman
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies have shot and wounded a man they say opened fire on their patrol car during a chase.
Authorities say it happened just before 5 a.m. Monday in unincorporated South Los Angeles.
A Sheriff's Department statement says parked sheriff's deputies heard what sounded like gunfire coming from a passing pickup truck.
While chasing the truck, deputies say a passenger shot at their patrol car.
A short time later, the passenger got out of the slow-moving truck and was shot. Three other people in the truck escaped.
Authorities say the wounded man is expected to survive and no gun was found at the scene. His name hasn't been released.
No deputies were wounded.

Low awareness
You've got a great software product, but not enough (of the right) people know about it.
Lack of qualified leads
Delivering leads to the sales team is no problem…but too many aren't qualified.
No lead capture system
A lack of irresistible premium content designed to educate and nurture prospects.
Lack of time
Your digital marketing "to-do" list is miles long; you don't have the staff to implement best practices.
Website isn't sales-optimized
The website is more like a brochure with a "Contact" form than a marketing & sales engine.
Traditional marketing not working
Traditional marketing and sales aren't producing the leads and customers you need.
No measurable, trackable funnel
Implementing and analyzing measurable, trackable, results-driving marketing is a struggle.
Revenue & customer churn
Slim data points and lack of nurturing to prevent churn.

D40 vs D40X vs D60
I am totally new to the DSLR market and I am hoping to upgrade soon from my Nikon Coolpix 4300 P&S. I have researched the internet for months now, and still can't come to a solid conclusion on which camera is best for me. I was considering a D80, but think it may be too much camera for me at this point. I am a casual shooter. Kids, nature, a little sports. I thought I had narrowed down my choice to the D40 vs. D40x. Now the D60 is in the mix! Suggestions, opinions please? Thanks,

The general school of thought is that the D40x is better if you want to print big (greater than 11x17") or need to crop (wildlife photography), otherwise the D40 is all you'll need and the x is money better spent on lens/tripod/flash etc.
The D60 is basically a D40x which IMO only adds one interesting feature, which is sensor dust-off. Adding VR to the kit lens is also a useful feature, but presumably that lens will be available on any of these bodies. Until we know the street price of the D60 and its lens, and what it will do to D40/D40x prices, it's hard to make meaningful recommendations.
Another shool of thought with which I agree is one that says quit looking to the future and buy one of the excellent cameras available now, and use it to take excellent pictures. The images you miss while waiting for the Next Great Thing are more valuable than that new feature. But, to some extent the future is now, or at least the future is only a few weeks away. If you don't have an event in the next month you really want this camera for, then give the D60 time to hit the market and re-evaluate once prices shake out. Otherwise buy based on the first paragraph's criteria and start shooting.

I completely agree with Larry. To put it a little stronger, if you plan to print posters, and I truly mean POSTERS, the kind most of us don't even have a printer to produce; or, if you crop a lot, and I don't mean taking a bit off the sides but more like getting your first crew cut kind of cropping, you seriously need more MP, and therefore, you need camera than the D40. On the other hand, for everybody else, those extra 4MP give you absolutely nothing. I am a true newbie, been taking pictures after months and months of research, for four months. It took me actually taking pictures to understand what the wise teachers on this forum were trying to tell me -- that you really don't need the extra pixels, except for making poster-size prints or heavy cropping. Stronger, those extra MP are a burden. The extra amount of time it takes to load a single photograph on most private citizen's computers, before you can even use "Quick Fix" to fix it up a little or prepare it for e-mail, is something it takes only three or four computer sessions to start to go looney tunes over. What's more, when you're posting a photograph for most internet applications, you have to downsize the photograph, throwing away MOST of the pixels, so that the picture can fit through the ether and so that it not take forever to load on somebody else's computer screen. It's truly a waste of money to spend a few hundred dollars on a few MP that you're going to be forced to throw away almost immediately after you start to take your photographs. So unless you crop or make posters, there's truly no need for the D40x or the D60.
I myself crop my pictures to death (which is one of the reasons I went for the 10MP), not because I shoot wildlife but because I make slideshows, and because I don't use zoom lenses (I can't afford the zooms that can shoot moving targets in low light). So I buy second (third?)-hand fixed focal-length lenses and zoom as much as I can with my feet; then I put the photo on the computer and crop the rest.
In making slideshows, you often end up using a small part of a photo that was taking for a completely different reason. You'll use a photo taken at a birthday party because one of the people in the picture happens to have a really great expression that you want to use at a particular part of a slideshow. When you crop, really crop the death out of a photograph, you take what started out as a 10MP picture and throw away as much as 80% of it. That will leave you with a 2MP photograph, the amount of resolution you have on a nice cell phone. (The photo will be much better, because far more than the number of pixels determine how good the picture is, but I hope you get my point.) Ideally, for a normal sized print (not e-mail photo, photo for sharing on the web, or anything else viewed on a monitor) of truly excellent quality, you need about 3MP in your photograph. Monitor-viewed photographs need far less.
With those considerations in mind, you might be able to decide how many MP you actually want, and choose your camera accordingly.
The difference between the D40 and the D40x is simply one of MP; nothing more. There are only two differences between these two cameras (three, if you include price ), and the other one is, IMHO, utterly irrelevant. Other than MP, there is nothing AT ALL that the D40x can do that the D40 can't.
On the other hand, there are lots of bells and whistles on the D60 that aren't available on the D40/x. So don't get me wrong, I don't mean that unless you need the extra MP there is no reason to buy the D60. I just think that unless you need the extra MP, you don't remotely NEED a D60.
But bells and whistles are nice. I'm prepared to spend an extra $50 just to get a pretty color on my laptop; and I often pay a high premium on a train ticket to ride first class, not because there is any difference at all in the leg room, speed at which I'll get there, no difference in service ... but I pay an extra 50% for a ticket because it increases my chances that the seat next to me will remain empty. Bells and whistles are truly fun. The bells and whistles on the D60 are truly nice touches. Don't try to understand what they are and whether you'll use them. Most of them you won't even understand what they do until you start using it, and trust Nikon even if you don't trust me (they've got serious money riding on their judgement here) that you WILL use these particular bells and whistles, most of them without even knowing it. Nothing extra to learn, but if you get a D60, and half a year later (a month later???) you borrow somebody's D40/x, their D40/x will drive you crazy. (WHAAAAAAATTTT? Where the heck is the ..... ???!!?!???) Very nice bells, really fun and convenient whistles. But I'm just saying, to beat this point to death, that I think you by no means NEED them, regardless of what you shoot. Nobody NEEDS the leather seats or the upgraded stereo system when they buy a new car, and those that don't get them don't make that decision because they think they wouldn't "use" them. People who buy or don't buy the options and upgrades do so based on their budget, their financial values, and their spoil-myself longings, not based on their needs.
On account of resounding and utter absence of bells and/or whistles, not to mention the price differential, the D40x in my opinion just got rendered truly irrelevant.
If you are the type that likes splurging on bells and whistles, and can afford it, absolutely wait for the D60. If eith of these isn't true, buy the D40, and start having a blast.

Hi kkcobb
I would recommend D40x ( if you can afford only this range cost), or D80.
D40x, you will get more megapixels, your pictures will finer and better if you crop or print in big size.
While D40 gives only 6.1 MP, quite little in digital SLR.
Both of them don't have auto-foucus motor built-in camera body. So you will need lenses that have " AF-S" , more expensive than old, non AF-S lenses, to have auto focus. ( Mostly all new Nikon lenses now are AF-S, so if you don;t think you will use old/cheap lenses, there is no problem with D40x).
D60 is very identical to D40x, and costs nearly D80 body.
If you plan to get D60, go ahead to D80! D80 will save you money if you update lens later besides the kit lens.
I just have D40x for a month. It's a great light,compact camera. I like it. Quality of pictures are more than perfect.However,I'm spending much $ for " AF-S" (Nikon), or HSM (Sigma) lenses.
#4. "RE: D40 vs D40X vs D60" | In response to Reply # 3
Thanks to all!
Great points to consider! I may end up doing some croppping, so think I might need more megapixels. I can get a factory demo D80 on eBay for about the same cost as the D60 (guessing). I am just concerned that the learning curve for the D80 may be more than I have time to take on with 3 small children and a job as a nurse. I like the idea of the built in help on the D40X, has this be helpful to any other newbies? I am thinking the cost of the D40X may drop even more in March. On the other hand, the D60 does have a few little enhancements, just not sure if it is worth it.
#5. "RE: D40 vs D40X vs D60" | In response to Reply # 4
As a relative newbie myself (bought the D40 in June 2007) I would say if you can afford it, buy the D80 or even a D200 if you've got the cash. If those aren't in your price range, get the D40. The only thing I regret with getting the D40 over the more expensive cameras is the lack of an autofocus motor. As you get more into photography, you're gonna want better and faster lenses. Unfortunately, the only ones that will autofocus on the D40 are the extremely expensive AF-S lenses, which you'll be spending at least $1000 per lens for the faster ones.
The trade off is this. If you go with a D80 or D200, you'll spend a little more initially on a camera, and yes, may have to spend a LITTLE time learning to work it, but spend relatively little to start expanding your collection of lenses as you go since you can use older lenses.
If you go with the D40, you'll spend relatively little on the camera and use the extra money to invest in better, more expensive lenses down the road.
From what I've read, there is no reason to spend the extra dough on a D40X or D60. They have no features that warrant the $300 to $400 extra price tag. That's just money you're throwing away on a camera that you could spend on a lens.
Also, who says you have to have autofocus? I have a Nikon 35-70 f/2.8, Tokina 12-24 f/4, and a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 for my D40 right now. None of which autofocus. This allows me to work on my focusing technique. Just something to think about
#6. "RE: D40 vs D40X vs D60" | In response to Reply # 5
Remember the D60 is 2 years newer.
It will have many new and undocumented advantages.
Less noise, better battery performance, better metering, better high ISO, the new D lighting.
In digital, newer is always better.
#7. "RE: D40 vs D40X vs D60" | In response to Reply # 6
I bought the D40 in September '07 - I was originally thinking about the D40x, but as I use flash a lot in my photography I opted for the D40 as it has a faster flash sync speed.
I also went for the Hahnel grip to go with it - the camera is small and lightweight, but I prefer the feel of the camera with this grip and it's ability to run of two batteries in parallel gives me more 'power'. By the way, the batteries last forever!
I use mine as a semi-pro and I'm really happy with it.
#8. "RE: D40 vs D40X vs D60" | In response to Reply # 7
As I said, I am a complete newbie to the DSLR world. What does the slower sync speed (1/500 vs. 1/200) and ISO (ISO 200 base vs. ISO 100 base) mean to me when comparing the D40X or D60 to the D40? Should this being something of concern? I don't see myself ever purchasing a lot of lenses. I will probably just stick with kit lens for a bit, then add a 55-200 VR. I am leaning toward the D60, but the above two issues...hmmm? I do a lot of shots of my kids indoors, and I have 18-20 foot ceilings in my great room. Thanks again. Your input is very much appreciated.
#9. "RE: D40 vs D40X vs D60" | In response to Reply # 6
"In digital, newer is always better"
I agree with this but NOT ALMOST case.
The issue is that is it worth to spend $200 more for D60 instead of geting D40 or D40x? And, which one, D80 or D60 is worth to choose since they are amlost same price?
I would go with D80, definately.
D60 is little advanced more than D40/x but still much below the D80 level, that what I think.
#10. "RE: D40 vs D40X vs D60" | In response to Reply # 8
"D60 is little advanced more than D40/x but still much below the D80 level, that what I think."
True, but the poster sounds like they won't be concerned with the additional benefits/advances of the D80.
The D40s & D60 are smaller and lighter than the D80, and I find them a bit easier to use and navigate, especially for a newbie - assuming you're looking a bit more for point & shoot. And easier to transport.
I assume you're never going to have to worry about flash sync of 1/200 vs 1/500. 1/500+ will help fill in sunlight, and help if you are taking action shots.
ISO 100 vs 200, if you primarily shoot indoors you'll never use ISO 100. The higher the ISO number the more sensitive your camera is to light... but pics also get grainy when you get too high - but I don't think you have to worry about it with any of the options you're looking at.
Whatever camera you get you'll love. I think the D60 has a couple extra features the D40s don't that are kind of cool, but I have no idea what the price diff is and whether or not it's worth it.
I have a D40, and absolutely love it. I've taken an obscene amount of pictures in the two months I've had it and only regret I didn't buy it sooner.

I bought a D40 shortly before Christmas '07. I have been extremely pleased with that decision. I got the 2 lens kit that included both the 18-55 and 55-200 non VR lenses. Both lenses have been producing very good quality results. I have been shooting Nikon film cameras for years and have several lenses from my manual focus F3.
BTW, I can use all my old AIS (non autofocus) lenses on my D40 but loose autofocus AND metering on the camera. The must be used in fully manual mode.
I was caught up in the pixel wars myself when I started looking. I then realized that the D40 was enough to produce virtually anything I would ever take to print. The cropping factor is definately something to consideer. I have been very impressed at what the D40 can do, even with extreme cropping of an image. I have included two links below to a picture I took with the D40 and Kit 18-55 lense. the first is the original image and the second is the crop from that image. I printed it out at 12" x 18" and it looks great, even on plain paper as opposed to photo paper.
The D40 - and D40X and D60 are very easy to use. You'll feel comfortable with any of them in a short time. If it were me, I would likely opt for the D40 and spend the difference for a good flash like the SB600 or SB800.

The sync speed, which for me was an overriding issue, only matters when you are looking to use flashguns.
The sync speed is the maximum shutter speed at which you can fire the camera at, using flash, and still get a properly exposed image - to go higher than the sync speed (for example 1/1000th) would mean that the shutter would have opened, then closed before the flash could deliver all its energy. This results in a black band down one side of your exposure.
A higher sync speed also means that if you are trying to do fill-flash, that you can use a smaller aperture (by which I mean a smaller number aperture such as f4 as opposed to f8) and that means that you dont work the flash guns as hard.
If you want to see what you can do with the D40, my site at http://www.davidvickers.co.uk has nearly all its pictures taken with my D40.
I hope that helps?

#13. "RE: D40 vs D40X vs D60" | In response to Reply # 4
Oops! One thing all of us newbies are forgetting to mention (fortunately a veteran gave ME this advice when I was at the same place you were) is that the camera has to FEEL GREAT in your hands.
I wanted a D40 as well, and was trying to figure out whether I should get the D40x (this was a few months ago, and nobody on the planet could have predicted that there would BE a D60, certainly not this spring, certainly not as an alternative to the D40/x) ...
and then the vet told me to go to the store and hold it, and fake like I was taking pictures with it.
And the decision was made immediately: for me it had to be a D80. I can't hold a D40/x properly in my hands without them cramping up. It's too small.
The D80 is much heavier, seriously much heavier, but if you're planning to do some really serious picture taking, you get used to the weight very quickly. It's just when you want to throw something in your purse and go with it that you really notice it's weight: it's the kind of camera you have to plan around, because it's kind of like a medium-heavy shopping bag: not something you decide not to buy because of its weight, but also not the thing you go to pick up first if you're going to be out and about carrying it all day, that kind of in-between not-prohibitive but nonetheless not-"you-don't-know-it's-with-you" kind of weight either.
So, I'd say: go to the camera store!!! See which camera (D40 or D80) "fits!"
I've now been using it for three months, and I tell you, it's wonderful. I was afraid that it would be too hard for a newbie to learn as well, but a veteran talked me into believing that I could do it. Once I got it, and my husband got the D40x, do I have to show him how to do things on his camera after I've learned how to do them on mine, I actually find it far easier to use a D80 than a D40. The D40 is built on the mobile-phone principle: access everything via a menu. The D80 is built on the button-for-each-function principle, which sounds scary, but it isn't. Learning which button you need to press is identical to learning which menu item you need to look for, except that finding the button is much easier (and less time-consuming!) than remembering and locating which menu this particular setting was located under.
Think of the camera as if it were a car. If it were operated completely by menu's -- steering, windshield wipers, lights, windows, door locks, brakes, gas, cruise control ... -- would that make it easier or harder to operate the car? It would drive me insane ...
And btw, for some odd reason this doesn't show up in any of the literature, but the D80 has a help button too!

That is exactly what I did prior to buying my D40X. After doing a lot of research I was considering Nikon, Sony and Canon. The first unit I looked at in the store was the Sony. The first impression was it was hard to hold. This took less than 2 minutes. NEXT, the Canon. It was comfortable to hold but the menus seemed hard to get to and after closely examining the Nikon I felt the Canons features were lacking a bit in some areas but better in others. The decision was to go with the D40X and I am more than satisfied with the unit.
I love spell check.
#15. "RE: D40 vs D40X vs D60" | In response to Reply # 13
Both of LaDonna's posts are pretty spot on.
Another factor to consider is your longer term goal. Do you want to learn about photography and really get into it? Do you just want to take pictures of your family? Do you want a simple upgrade from a point and shoot?
If you simply want to take pics of your family, or you just want an upgrade from the point and shoot - I'd get a D40, you probably won't need the extra megapixels or features to justify the price diff between the 40x and 60.
If you want to get into photography, and you want to keep the cam for a long time (relatively), then maybe you should consider the D80. I agree with LaDonna that it feels better in your hands... I'm coming from an N80, and feel a bit more at home with the D80.
My personal experience, I wanted the D300... then realized I had never used photo editing software, didn't have a full understanding of exposure, and didn't know how to fully utilyze my N80 - so I figured I may be trying to drink from a firehose if I jumped into the D300. So instead of getting overwhelmed, and trying to learn too much at once I decided to get the D40 as learning tool, spend the difference on necessary (and uncessary) accessories, then jump to different model when I was ready.
Also, keep in mind final cost... with my D40 ($500) I also bought a 4gb card ($100 Lexar), tripod ($100), photo printer ($100), external flash ($200, SB-600), book about D40 ($20), DVD about D40 ($20), Lens cleaning pen ($20) batteries for flash ($5)... so I bought a $500 camera, but dropped ~$1,100 before walking out of the camera shop.
That's not including the bag I already had, or the lens I already had (that I use just as much as the kit lens - especially when I shoot inside).

I've actually been to the camera store 2-3 times now and really wanted the D80 to "fit", but it just felt a little heavy and bulky for me. I have pretty small hands, and the D40(X) felt like a better fit. I don't see myself getting too heavy into photography in the near future (although I would love to). At what point I have time to take a class or two, I will probably need to update anyway. I think this narrows my choice to the D40(x) or D60. I think I will wait until the D60 hits the stores and see what the price of the D40 and D40X do. If there is a huge difference I will most likely skip the D60. Great image quality on all the shots I have seen (thanks KazooTom), from the D40 and D40X.
One more question for now, as you all really know your stuff -
which online camera retailer(s) would you recommend, or stay away from? I used Cameta Camera (eBay) several years ago for my Nikon P&S and had a great experience. I definitely want to get the best price, but I've heard horror stories about some on these online camera "merchants".

"which online camera retailer(s) would you recommend"
I can speak very highly of Norman Camera in Kalamazoo, Michigan. You won't see many advertisements in the magazines, but they are an authorized Nikon dealer here and have been in business for over 50 yrs. Great store with very good staff servicing the professional and amature market in SW Michigan. They do have a web site www.normancamera.com but i would still suggest that you call for the most current prices and availability.
Others speak very highly of B&H Camera and Video and Adorama as very reliable sources.
I have personally been able to purchase over the counter at Norman for the same of lower price than the other sources.

Boy oh boy oh boy do I wish there were somewhere that newbie's learned this when starting out! In the beginning, I decided that I clearly didn't NEED a tripod, a ball head, a card reader, etc etc etc
etc etc
etc etc etc etc etc
etc etc
you get the picture.
When we buy our first car, there's always a hundred people helping us remember we need to have enough money to own and use the car, not just enough to pay for it. Where are we supposed to learn this when buying our camera's?
>a 4gb card ($100 Lexar)color>
I also believe that all newbie's should have a course in eBay ... just a beginner's course on how not to be robbed ... and then sent off to eBay to get all their accessories. The first SD card I purchased in a store was my last. Never again. But I do admit I've been crazy enough to be shooting with 2GB cards. Had to take a several month breather to recover from all the etc etc's
Okay, well, yeah, and to get over my fantasy lusting over the D300 so that I could accept (the final stage in the grieving process) that I really needed a new SD card ...
and buy a 4GB. It just came in the mail last week: $50, for a Sandisk Extreme III, and that includes the shipping.
$100 memory card, heaven help us newbies all ...

I had great experiences with : B&H photo, Adorama, Buydig.com or Beach camera, Amazon, when I ordered D40x and many accessories.( would someone adds more??)
I would reccomend you to use this trusted website:
( which helped me to avoid a scammer on last minute!)
to check rates and customer's reviews/experiences before your made a first order on a strange website. . They list rating scores/reviews after you type the store name/web address on the Search tool.
Be alerted of unusualy low prices cameras on internet!!! Some "best" prices are great, but some make you cost much more $! After you make an order, they will call you to require much more $ for orginal documents, batteries,... accessories which included already by manufactories.!!!!!
I would not buy BRAND NEW /expensive cameras on eBay.
Good luck and have funs with your new camera.

"Boy oh boy oh boy do I wish there were somewhere that newbie's

You're spot on again LaDonna. Most don't need tripods, external flashes, etc.
Personally, I wish I had purchased a carbon fiber tripod, I wasted $100 on a decent tripod when I could have gotten a really good one for ~$200 - I'm big into night photog and long exposures. Ball head would have been unnecessary, but I do like cool toys
I also suffer from extreme impatience. I would have saved about ~$100 the cam, card, tripod, flash... but I couldn't wait for it in the mail. I do agree that the card reader is unnecessary, but one came with my card and is actually convenient when I want to load pics on other people's computers when they can't find a USB, and the card reader takes up a lot less space in my bag than a USB.
As for Lexar vs. Sandisk... probably no difference, but I had a Sandisk fail on me on my point and shoot, since then I've gone with Lexar. When a Lexar fails I'll go back to Sandisk... same way I choose cell phone companies
kkcobb, if you are going to take a lot of indoor shots of your family, I'd definitely buy an external flash - haven't seen the SB-400, but I've heard it's good. Bouncing my SB-600 makes a world of difference indoors. As for a tripod, you'll likely never use it unless you want to be in the pictures with your family (use the timer, then you have 10 seconds or so to jump in the shot and pretend you aren't posing).
