dpreview is going crazy…. for sony
the Zeiss lens are fantastic, but I hate the camera I tried (7R) - it's a nightmare for shooting without tripod, for shooting in dim light or in dark, it is a nightmare for architecture, it is nor good for my portraits…
I like Alpha 99 and I even like Nex 6 bit Alpha 7R is a waste of recources for me.
I suggest you don't buy it then.
i will like film lever...can we show picture counter too :-)
Sorry i cud not resist and liked your statement.
The 36mp Nikon is a Sony sensor and Sony has a 50mp Medium format sensor they sell to Hassy,Phase one, Pentax so who has the catching up to do exactly?
For a so called engineer you sound quite stupid
There is more than just a sensor. Many companies diversify and concentrate on their primary goal: build a camera. If I were a Nikon CIO I would buy the best parts from whatever company there is to build a camera. What about lenses (Zeiss)? Shooting a lot with an EM1 and D610 I prefer Nikon for longer periods. It just fits better in my hands. There is a minimum size I feel comfortable with. Additionally, I don't understand this brand wars, ridiculous (my dad is better than your dad, like in Kindergarten). Compensating something? As much as I like a mirror less camera, for me a DSLR is still not dead and I like using it a lot.
@ HFLM with no sensor there is no camera, just like in the old days with no film there is no picture.
told you so. Silver for the A7, Gold for the R :)
Seems fair.
I do think the A7 is a better camera in many ways though.
I am surprised the "cons" in the conclusion does not mention the shutter noise. The A7r is even noisier than the A7.
I guess pro won't like the noisy shutter?
very difficult to understand why there is no mention of e-mount lenses losing the OSS when used in cropped mode. After all this time you should be well aware of this and not say only that all e-mount are compatible.
"Solving the corner vignetting problem"
Way before Sony A7, there was Leica M8 and M9.
Back them the main topic was Vignetting and Shifted Microlenses.
It is pretty odd that this topic has not been raised around these Sony Digital Rangefinders.
That's for sure for Sony. What about the customer? Cheers! :)
Only Gold? This camera deserves a rare element not yet found on Earth. This is The First and (probably not) The Last, The Alpha and Omega of all cameras. Ever. And ever. A-men! Hallelujah! Cheers, and cheers again! :) :) :)
A list of cons as long as the pros and not all of them are minor, it got a fair result. Now combine an A7r with say a good AF system like in a m4/3 camera, triple the battery life and improve several other annoyances and then it might warrant a 90%. At the moment it's a superb sensor wrapped in an ok body. If only Olympus could fit this sensor to an E-M1.
That's a ridiculously long bow to draw and completely incorrect. Yes tripling battery life would be tough, but they have to do better, getting 200 shots if you are conservative is just not good enough. Other than that there's no excuse for the AF given how good Olympus and Fuji are on that front, there's no excuse for the lack of electronic first curtain shutter, given the A7 has it and there's no excuse for the cumbersome menu system. None of these require the camera to magically grow in dimensions.
I have a question about lenses for full frame mirrorless cameras.
I notice that pretty much all the Sony lenses for these cameras have relatively small maximum aperture. The 55mm normal lens is 1.8, vs the 1.4 we are accustomed to for normal full frames. Similarly for the rest of the line. I guess that bright lenses also mean heavier, larger, lenses, which don't quite make sense on smaller camera bodies.
This kind of defeats the purpose of a full frame sensor, where you can benefit from the shallow depth of field it allows.
On APS sized sensors, brighter lenses can still be fairly compact. Fuji, Panasonic, and Olympus lenses are all much brighter than the new FF mirrorless Sony.
Brighter lenses on APS sensors deliver equivalent DOF and look than the dimmer lenses on FF. At the end what is gained with the full frame is lost with the smaller maximum practical aperture.
What do you guys think?
- Fabio
I think you should consider the A-mount lenses, like Zeiss 1.4's and Sigma's 1.4. If that is not enough you still have Voigtlander 35mm 1.2, 50mm 1.1 and 1.5, 75mm 1.8 and Leica's 0.9, 1.4. Do you have any lens on Fuji or Olympus that gives you the same DOF and same light gathering? I don't think so....
I don't think Fuji or Olympus offered anything better on the first year.
My point is that large aperture lenses are impractical on these bodies.
Sony is making small aperture lenses because they fit better the size of the A7.
On smaller sensors, large aperture lenses are still small enough to fit the size of the body.
I guess that my question then is: if small body/lens size is an important factor, does FF still make sense?
- Fabio
However most need adaptors and use manual focus. This is not for everybody. A landscape shooter may however be o.k. with it.
A-mount lenses are larger together with adaptor, as would be fast lenses. Even 2.8 zooms would be very large and heavy.
For me the A7s make sense only with smaller primes.
I think there are already FF cameras with faster lenses available. If you make bigger lenses, then what's the selling point versus those cameras ? Personally, when I had f/1.4 lenses on APS-C, I shot them at f/1.8 or f/2 for shallow DOF - f/1.4 on FF is too shallow for my tastes. Anyway, when you why people would choose this camera over a FF DSLR, I don't think the omission of f/1.4 primes is significant.
To be fair, the Zeiss is also T-1.8 while the other brands 1.4's are often darker than spec at T-1.6 or T-1.7. The real difference is much less than the f-numbers imply.
Actual measured transmission values of the 55mm lens are similar to those of most f/1.4 lenses.
Also, the theory that FF offers no benefit when apertures are smaller, is limited to situations where the shutterspeed is the limiting factor. Which isn't always the case. Reminds me of the Sony R1, when people were making a similar argument about its smaller apertures compared to its smaller sensor predecessors.
Until the output made them realize that the R1 still showed clear benefits in many situations.
It's such a shame a site like this one with so many mistakes.
I'll clear one, the kit lens is sold apart. Please Dpreview correct because your wrong.
"although because it's a kit lens only available for the a7 - and not currently available separately"
It's sold by Amazon and several stores. The current price is 549€ on Amazon.de.
You guys should really get the story right, specially after the A7 flop review.
It's not so much a case of being wrong, it's a case of not knowing enough about other markets - it's not sold separately in the US and Sony US don't necessarily know what Sony Europe is doing.
I'll clarify the text.
It was a mistake. Error. Like many things in A7's review.... you should take advantage of A7's users here on Dpreview that might know more a thing or two... A simple quick search would do trick on this matter, since you took the trouble to write on the conclusion. It's been available quiet some time now, even US customers can buy things abroad. The US are not the world when you write to all other countries.
Conculution page; Mic jack-headphone jack/port written twice... Or are these two different thing ?
Depriving people of their opportunity to complain about "only silver". How can you!
Don't worry. They'll find something to complain about.
only gold?
what the hell DPR!
Interesting that, in the summary, there's no mention of high ISO capabilities - good, bad or otherwise.

Improving Retail Service With Access To Shopper Data [Future of Retail]
How brands can arm in-store employees with personal customer information to facilitate memorable shopping experiences.
One of the biggest boons e-commerce provided to brands and customers alike was the use of their purchasing and browsing data to suggest items they 'might be interested in' or show things 'people like them' also purchased. For the first time, retailers could offer customers quasi-personalized recommendations without actually knowing them, without having a brick-and-mortar store of dedicated salespersons committed to establishing long-term client relationships.
But now that customers are used to receiving this kind of service online, they are left wondering why they can't get this same level of personalized attention alongside their in-store experiences as well. Imagine helping store staff better meet the needs of shoppers on a personal level with on-demand customer profiles and preferences gathered from a number of channels. What if insights built from these interactions could then be added to an evolving customer profile that ensured they were always relevant to the customer?
These informed interactions not only offer value in the moment, but can build lasting relationships over time. Taking digital insights and applying them to the human context so sales staff can offer better services and create better experiences is a trend in PSFK Labs' Future of Retail report that we are calling Connected Relationship Management.
It used to be that many established retailers would have long-time employees that could learn the preferences of repeat customers, reinforcing their relationship with the brand. After all, sales increase by 25%-50% when customers are helped by a knowledgeable retail associate according to a 2013 survey by TimeTrade (PDF). However, for large retailers with many stores and hundreds or thousands of employees this was not viable, until now. Connected Relationship Management tools and systems take those online data successes and puts them in the hands of employees who interact with customers face-to-face. This empowers employees to become like the shopkeepers of yesteryear, who know what to recommend to people not under a 'Other People Like You Also Viewed' headline, but with a smile.
Leveraging multichannel data in the brick-and-mortar retail environment is the direction brands should seriously consider to survive and thrive."Technology in itself means nothing if it doesn't enable a differentiated customer experience," says Ron Shaich, CEO of Panera Bread. "So those people that are able to figure out how to use technology to enable a better guest experience will win." The tech-savvy customer is already there, in-store waiting for retailers to catch up. 50% of shoppers want to be able to 'log-in' at a physical retailer to save purchasing preferences, reported comScore in 2012, and check-in apps like Foursquare have been serving millions of users for years. It is just a matter of taking the data you already have and the information people willingly volunteer and giving it to the right people in your stores.
Of course, a huge component of personal data management is trust. Even the best-tailored deals and service won't win with consumers if they are uncomfortable with how you are using their data. When looking to build out Connected Relationship Management systems, PSFK Labs' Director, Scott Lachut warns brands that "just because you have information about your shoppers doesn't mean you should use it. Go the final step by helping them understand how sharing their purchase history and preferences will lead to a better service experience."
As you look to arm your employees on the retail floor with personal customer data and prepare them to offer personal, relationship-building service, ask these questions of your company:
- How can you enable customers to control how and when they'd like to receive assistance?
- How can you empower associates to connect with shoppers based on individual purchase history?
- How do these new platforms impact the way you hire and train associates?
- What customer data can you track to better recommend complementary products?
- What information should associates be adding to existing customer profiles?
- How can you establish trust with your customers and build on that relationship over the long term?
In the fourth edition of the Future of Retail Report, PSFK Labs brings together two interconnected themes and eleven key trends that provide a foundation for the modern shopping experience. The findings are brought to life with best-in-class examples, actionable strategies and leading questions to inspire leading retailers and brands. Join us at our San Francisco conference on Nov. 21st where talks from retail innovators will bring the key themes to life.

Does Register Size Matter?
I'm replacing the suspended ceiling in my basement with drywall. When I had heating and air added to this area the guys put one 24 X 24" air duct reguster in the ceiling. Do I need to stay with this size or is it ok to put in a smaller register? I'm a little concernce with air volume since this is the only register in the room.
Don't ever let anybody tell you otherwise; size matters
Is this a supply register? what size is the duct it is attached to?
I hate drywall ceiling in basements.
lots of water damage can occur.
The duct is one of those flexible spring things with insulation on the outside. The inside of the duct measures 6" across.
6x14 if it's a return and 4x 10 if it's a supply is plenty big.
Is using 2ftx2ft registers with 6" flex in a drywall ceiling common there or what's the reasoning why you would leave such a large diffuser?
It was originally 2 X 2 because it fit in a suspended ceiling grid. I'll be replacing it with a normal size. The ceiling is still open so I can add any type of bracing that is necessary. Marty, thanks for the confirmation that this will work.

I really like what you have going on here so far. The only thing which really bugs me and you've already noticed it yourself is the body of the master gets lost with the colors of his skin and the armor. So I'll give some suggestions you can decide what you think.
Seeing as the story says the armor is a gift from god. Why not have the armor get brighter in color (almost glow) as the master ages. Almost in the sense that the armor is taking his life. Kinda puts a twist on the story and the whole master servant idea who is the real servent?
Another thing which might help is that since you used the coran as the armor texture why not make the writting on it stand out a little more from the armor. Maybe a different color or make the writting larger in size or etched/carved.
Just some ideas I had hope it helps. Your models are looking great. And the concept is extremely cool.

All of the results were very
tasty and enjoyed by all
testers. The cakes were moist
and the frostings were smooth
and creamy with a "homemade"
texture and flavor. Note that
the frostings are softer (and
easier to spread) than the
prepared "tubs" of frosting in
the mainstream brands. The cake
is a little denser than that
made with a typical cake mix but
is not heavy.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
(or home zine libraries/personal zine libraries), I realize I have a fair amount of quite good zines in multiple copies that I don't distro and I'm a little unsure what to do with. I've donated to all the local zine libraries, so thought I'd throw it out there that, if anybody wanted an envelope of random zines to add to their collection, I would totally send an envelope like that yr way. I would…

There was recently a must-read article about the dangers of adderall in the New York Times written by Alan Schwarz. In the article, it mentions that between 8% and 35% of students are thought to use stimulants to help them study, with Adderall being the most common. When used as prescribed by patients to treat ADHD, Adderall has been shown to be safe and effective. But when abused, it can be extremely dangerous, not to mention illegal. To get around this concern, some students are lying to doctors in order to obtain prescriptions so that they can use the drug to study for exams or stay up all night writing term papers. However, safer and legal alternatives exist. Over time, higher dose Adderall may be needed to get the "jolt" students are after and these higher doses of Adderall can lead to side effects like trouble sleeping, elevated temperature and aggression, hallucinations and paranoia. At least in one case, Adderall addiction seemed to contribute to the suicide of a young college student.
In this tragic case, Richard Fee was abusing Adderall, yet "He had it in his mind that because it came from a doctor, it was O.K.". Drugs like Adderall clearly can be beneficial when used appropriately, but they should be noted for their serious potential for abuse. Think Gum is one notable safe alternative to Adderall. It is made with potent natural ingredients and is a dietary supplement, meaning no prescription is needed. In a peer-reviewed study, Think Gum was shown to enhance test performance. Students thinking about trying Think Gum as an alternative to their current Adderall prescription should consult their doctors.

Phillips to Expand into Lighting at High Point
September 20, 2012,
HIGH POINT, N.C.-The Phillips Collection will add the lighting category to its product introductions at next month's High Point Market.

JWoww has turned down a lucrative deal to pose for Playboy!
The Jersey Show star apparently got a $400,000 offer to pose nude for Playboy but decided to turn it down. The reality star recently told Ryan Seacrest that, "I am not going to do Playboy in the near future. There is a better opportunity out there, which everybody will probably see soon." JWoww didn't say what the better opportunity is but it's probably the rumored spin-off series with Snooki. The spin-off is rumored to be somesort of dating show that will most likely net her more than the Playboy offer.

Hi again fellow Fetters.
Just wondering what the etiquette is - should I post progress pics here or start a new "progress" thread?
Hmm... it doesn't matter really. I would personally start a new thread. Good luck!
OK... this is slightly nerve racking posting my stuff but here goes (It took me ages to be able to hit 'Submit Reply'):
Keep in mind this is not finished and is only a test run.
Front View:
Picture obsolete... see more recent posts
Range finder detail:
Front with flash:
Picture obsolete... see more recent posts
I want to add more of the detail I used on the rangefinder to other parts of the bucket. Also, I'll keep it consistent by continuing the scratches and scoring over the visor. I'm still trying to think of ways to make it look more damaged with out knocking holes in it... I'll post more when I have it.
Questions? Suggestions? By all means go for it... just be gentle to this poor newbie :)
that is really amazing looking, i love the level of detail your putting into it, the rangefinder wires, the bronze burn marks...its lookin really good, man
Thanks! That really means a lot. When I have time, I'll post more.
That looks pretty good Pesh. I really love the details in the rangefinder and the helmet itself. It looks great. Keep up the good work.
Hey bud thats lookin awesome! Keep up the progress cause I wanna see more of this suit.
That looks great! How did you actually do the damage to the RF? It looks really realistic!
I think the real bucket already had more weathering on the front and such before the Sarlacc, so you may want to look in to adding that, then adding more damage.
The brown burn marks are great! How did you get that effect?
That looks amazing! Did you add the Lightsaber effect to Kit Fisto?
Thanks people,
The RF detail was achieved with a hack saw to make the hole and to roughen up the edges, then I put in some electrical wire, then melted some solder around the hole (took me a few attempts to get it right, now its solid as a rock) and finally painted it - also the stalk was originally a gold colour painted silver so I could scratch it off realistically.
Yeah askywalker I know there's more screen accurate damage to add and that's what I'll be working on next (I'm dreading doing the back of it so I might make that part particularly sarlacc damaged :lol).
The burns I marked out with a soldering iron (this strips the paint VERY effectively) and then I just painted them in. All paints are enamel and a combination of rattle-can and model paints.
Thanks for the kind words.
Very cool idea. I haven't read those books in a while (there's another one - Tales from Jabba's palace or Tales from the bounty hunters, I forgot which one). One of those books tells about what Boba Fett was feeling while in the Sarlacc, including which areas of his body were feeling the effects of the Sarlacc digestive acid making it's way through his "acid proof jumpsuit" and such.
The helmet idea (and frankly, full costume idea) is GREAT. But, like was said before, to achieve this look you'd have to match the ROTJ helmet paint job as accurately as you can (the correct scratches and dings and whatever) and THEN go crazy with the acid burns over that. I know large areas can be just acid burned and you wouldn't have to worry as much about the accurate ROTJ weathering, but on surface areas you can see on your existing helmet you'll have to match up the proper ROTJ scratch marks.
Fantastic project, dude. Can't wait to see your final product. :)
That's the plan, this is my test run :) Time! My kingdom for more Time!
That looks great!!!
Just an update, nothin major:
The visor's still being a pain though...
Started armour some as well...
whoah.... sorry bout the image size, they were supposed to be reduced
Man, I really like this idea! It's looking great so far. Can't wait to see more progress. That RF stalk looks friggin awesome. Have you thought about maybe even bending it a little.
That's looking sweet! Sorry about your losing the keys to that magical cupboard.
I'd say add more damage to that big silver area, but I'm sure you already were planning on that. It's looking fantastic! Much better than anything I could have done.
Give me your Futurama!
Hey I like it. I am really interested in seeing the whole thing done. I think it's hard to figure what Sarlacc Stomach juices that help keep you alive while slowly digesting you does to Mando armor made from that substance that slips my mind, but you know, the very tough/impenetrable stuff and such. Disolves the outside layers like a jawbreaker? eats away a hole then spreads? Would all the paint really be gone first? Would the color of the juice stick, like would it be some funky color? Well thats too crazy I guess..! Lookin' good, I really lite the RF damage, awesome.
I believe durasteel is the word your looking for "Rotton". But I've been wrong before, and in this thread too!
Maybe you should add a stomach acid odor to it. Ha ha!
Mandalorian armor is made out of a special metal called "Beskar" or also Mandalorian Iron. Hence the Mandalorian word for armor is "Beskar'gam" =) It's much stronger than durasteel as it resists lightsabers, and some of the better made sets were so dense that the force could not penetrate some parts.
I guess that's 2 strikes for me in this thread. Great info NT, thanks!
Negative, I alone am the keeper of the Futurama!
t_bone: Yes, yes I have
Rotton: Ack! So many ideas! Madness! :lol
NovallTalon: Spot on.
Thanks people for the kind words. Chin up askywalker, you've got one left ;)
will you have wires comming out the ear caps?
well I am in the middle of reading sacrafice and it said that Fetts armor is made of durasteel and not Beskar (sorry for going off topic)

Typical Spanish, always late. La Liga kicks off this
weekend, and not before time.
Real Madrid's epic spending splurge has made it the most
hotly-anticipated season since Luis Figo swapped Catalonia for Castille in 2000.
So what better time to spread your wings and get involved in
Fantasy Liga?
As with the Serie A game, most newcomers have a 'proper'
value (sorry - no bargain basement Cristiano Ronaldo), and big-name players are
staggeringly expensive.
Ronaldo (30.91) will cost you nearly a third of your
hard-earned wonga, and is even more expensive than Lionel Messi (28.35).
If you sign only one megastar, you will have to be careful with
your money elsewhere in the side, but thankfully there are a few bargains
lurking about.
Xabi Alonso (5.23) is an absolute steal, while his Real
Madrid team-mate Raul Albiol (1.00) is already owned by more than 50 per cent
of managers.
Here are some players the Fantasist expects to perform this
Juan Pablo
Carrizo (Zaragoza - 7.60)
Francesco Arnau (Malaga
- 8.60)
Oscar Ustari (Getafe
- 7.78)
Raul Albiol (Real Madrid
- 1.00)
Carlos Marchena
(Valencia - 1.00)
Gerard Pique
(Barcelona - 6.64)
Julien Escude (Sevilla - 5.20)
Joan Capdevila (Villarreal - 10.77)
Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid
- 5.23)
Hernan Bernardello (Almeria
- 5.23)
Verdu (Espanyol - 10.28)
Xavi Torres (Malaga
- 5.23)
Javad Nekounam (Osasuna - 8.48)
Andres Guardado (Deportivo - 15.52)
David Silva (Valencia
- 12.60)
Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid - 20.18)
Fernando Llorente (Athletic Bilbao - 14.33)
Albert Luque (Malaga
- 10.40)
Roberto Soldado (Getafe - 11.75)
Nino (Tenerife - 9.20)

Tatarstan: Causing Yeltsin Grief
No Russian flags fly in the city of Kazan. Instead, the green, red, and white flag of Tatarstan flutters. Although it is surrounded by Russia on all sides, Tatarstan considers itself a sovereign republic.
It is a leader in the push for regional autonomy inside Russia. The republic of 3.6 million people refused to sign Russia's Federation Treaty. Tatarstan wants "associate" membership: It aims to hand authority for defense, transportation, oil, and gas pipelines to Moscow and make all other decisions itself.
Even without formal agreement, the region already has begun carving out economic independence. Tatarstan has approved its own constitution, which allows private land ownership. And it is moving more slowly than Russia on economic reform to keep living standards from plunging.

Kivi's Underworld - Review @ JIG
Indie site Jay is Games takes a look at Soldak's casual hack'n'slash, Kivi's Underworld in this review. The article is very positive and here's the intro:
Kivi's Underworld, a new hack-n-slash action-RPG, is the second installment of the Depths of Peril series by Soldak Entertainment. The developers received a surprising amount of critical acclaim for Depths of Peril, a game that offered the Diablo-inspired genre a breath of fresh air. Year after year, the mediocre titles being churned out by developers with the intention of riding the coattails of "Diablo madness" has now reached a critical mass, and players usually don't give them a second glance anymore. But just as Depths of Peril caught their eye, the new Kivi's Underworld — set within the same world and mythos — is nothing to be scoffed at. In fact, as isometric action-RPGs go, it's a solid win.

Setting: Fantasy

Keeping her little girl busy during summer break, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise left gymnastics class at Chelsea Piers in New York City on Friday (July 12).
The "Dawson's Creek" star was dressed casually in a lacy white tank top, ripped blue jeans, and sandals, while her 7-year-old daughter wore a cute pale pink dress and white cardigan.
As if paparazzi didn't have a bad enough reputation, new footage emerged of little Suri Cruise being called a "brat" and a "b*tch" by a photographer on Thursday (July 11).
As the 7-year-old and her mother made their way to an awaiting vehicle in New York City, Katie Holmes smiled and politely declined autographs while her daughter was visibly bothered by the attention.
Stepping out for a mother-daughter date, Katie Holmes and her little girl Suri Cruise showed up in the Chelsea Piers area of New York City on Thursday morning (July 11).
The "Dawson's Creek" actress clutched a Venti Starbucks coffee in one hand and her lovely daughter's hand in the other, looking radiant in a summery blue dress with snazzy boots.
Taking her little lady out for some lunch, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise headed over to Cowgirl in New York City on Sunday (June 23).
Clad in a summery-printed dress, the "Jack and Jill" cutie kept an eye on her shy mini-me and a pal as they headed towards the eatery.
Nearing the end of the school year, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise headed off for another day of learning in the Big Apple on Friday (June 7).
Looking casually chic, the "Mania Days" actress sported jeans, a classic green top and sneakers as she followed her excited mini me into the building.
Heading out for another day's adventure, Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri Cruise walked to school in New York City this morning (May 30).
The doting "Dawson's Creek" mommy donned a powder blue top with white trousers as she led her little one by the hand up the sidewalk.
Heading home after enjoying some sunshine on the holiday weekend, Katie Holmes and Suri arrived back in New York City on Monday (May 27).
Casually clad in jeans and a black and white striped sweater, the "Dawson's Creek" darling helped her still sleepy mini-me tote her cozy blanket as they headed to their awaiting vehicle.
After enjoying the warm morning stroll, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise arrived at the little one's Manhattan school on Thursday (May 2).
The mommy-daughter duo ignored the always-present paparazzi as they quickly hurried inside the building.

DETROIT (AP) — Thousands of labor union supporters have marched through the streets of downtown Detroit to mark the holiday that honors the nation's working people
National Teamsters union President James Hoffa was among those participating in Monday's parade and rally.
The theme for the 2013 Labor Day parade is "The Dream Continues: Jobs, Justice, and Peace." Organizers say the theme honors the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and emphasizes the link between civil rights and economic justice.
The Detroit News reports that United Auto Workers Local 889 President Tom Brenner says the parade is needed this year "more than ever."
This is the first Labor Day since the Michigan Legislature and Gov. Rick Snyder approved so-called "right-to-work" legislation that bars unions from collecting mandatory fees from employees they represent.

UPDATE 1-UN warns on mobile cybersecurity bugs in bid to prevent attacks
* UN's ITU to issue advisory to nearly 200 nations
* Advisory is on risk identified by German researchers
* Researchers develop remote attack on mobile SIM cards
* Researchers say at least 500 million phones vulnerable
By Jim Finkle
BOSTON, July 21 (Reuters) - A United Nations group that advises nations on cybersecurity plans to send out an alert about significant vulnerabilities in mobile phone technology that could potentially enable hackers to remotely attack at least half a billion phones.
The bug, discovered by German firm, allows hackers to remotely gain control of and also clone certain mobile SIM cards.
Hackers could use compromised SIMs to commit financial crimes or engage in electronic espionage, according to Berlin's Security Research Labs, which will describe the vulnerabilities at the Black Hat hacking conference that opens in Las Vegas on July 31.
The U.N.'s Geneva-based International Telecommunications Union, which has reviewed the research, described it as "hugely significant." Continued...

I watched a national network news program last night and it was all about the gun and violence problem in Chicago. It railed on about the homicide rate and the violence common in the streets. the program emphasized and re-emphasized the problem of availability of handguns for gang-bangers and professional criminals. Not once during the broadcast did the commentator mention that Chicago already has one of the most stringent system of gun control laws on the books!
Here in Tennessee, Shelby County (Memphis) has the strongest anti- gun ordinances and is the most crime ridden area of Tennessee.
What does it take to get the message? The crime rate is highest where the gun control is the most stringent. No gun laws does not equate to no guns available. How can you use logic in a world based on such illogic?

The Redskins won a division title in 2012 and then had one of their worst seasons in franchise history in 2013, despite employing many of the same coaches and players on the sidelines. That's been kind of puzzling.
Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett said recently that the difference was mostly turnovers, and that the Redskins remain closer to their NFC East title form than to last year's disaster.
"To me, when I look at this team, I think we're closer to the 10-win season than I do the three-win season," Haslett told Larry Michael on Redskins Nation recently. "The last two months of the year were probably the worst I've ever had in pro football. [In] 10 years playing, 25 years coaching, I've never been through anything like that — he said, she said. A lot of things going on that shouldn't be going on in your locker room, that eats up players' time when it shouldn't. They should be worrying about football and none of the other stuff. Hopefully we never have to go through that again — or I'll never go through that again — because I don't want to be around something like that. That was an embarrassment to the organization, to yourself."
Then he started discussing what had changed between 2012 and 2013, and he mostly settled on turnovers.
"Here's why we won [in 2012]: we had a bunch of turnovers on defense, and the offense didn't turn the ball over," Haslett said. "That's why we won games. That was the bottom line. You turn the ball over 14 times, you get 39 turnovers, you win a lot of games. Last year we kind of went backwards. We didn't get enough turnovers — I think we had 29 turnovers [actually 26] — and the offense turned it over close to 40 times [actually 34]. So that's why we lost games.
"It wasn't what [scheme] you're doing, it's not who you're doing it with," Haslett continued. "We had the same exact players that we had the year before. We just got the ball [back], we turned the ball over, and we played much better on special teams. We weren't put in bad situations like we were last year. So it was a number of different things. I do think this team's closer to the team that won the division than the three-win season."
Later in the segment, Haslett talked about how the atmosphere is now so sunny around Redskins Park.
"We had a defensive staff meeting the other day and we were talking football for about an hour-and-a-half," the coordinator said. "We were talking one coverage, things that we want to change, things we want to do to get better. And the D Line coach, Jacob Burney, said this is the most fun he's had in two years. And I thought all we're doing is sitting around and talking football, trying to get some things right. And it is different from that standpoint.
"You're going to like what you see in Jay [Gruden]," Haslett said. "Jay does a great job with the quarterbacks, he does a great job with the offense. He utilizes what the player does best. He doesn't worry about what [players] can't do. He finds out what they do best and he tries to use those players to the best of their ability."

Belarus-Russia Relations: Between Equilibrium and Anschluss
Today Lukashenka is taking part in the Interstate Council of the Eurasian Economic Community in Moscow to "give new momentum to the integration processes." With no EU ambassadors in Minsk, relations between Belarus and Western nations are at their lowest point in the country's independent history. The Belarusian government is increasingly relying on Moscow in its new conflict with the EU.
In February, Lukashenka and Medvedev issued a joint statement that Western economic pressure on Belarus is unacceptable. Last Sunday, the Russian Foreign Ministry declared that sanctions against Belarus threatened the economic security not only of Belarus but also the entire Customs Union, including Russia. It is no wonder then that for the first time in years a top functionary of the Belarusian regime talked about the introduction of the Russian rouble in Belarus. Has Lukashenka lost the equilibrium between the West and Russia?
Belarus as Dependant on Russia as Ever
Polish expert Wojciech Borodzicz-Smoliński believes that recalling ambassadors and cutting staff in embassies in the long run may cause a fatal reshaping of the EU policy towards Belarus. He argues that the EU nations may lower the level of their representation in Minsk, because they can develop economic relations through trade missions. Dealing with the remaining few political aspects could be delegated to EU embassies in Moscow. After all, Moscow will increasingly control decision-making as a result of integration between the two nations.
According to the Polish analyst, European nations can adopt an uncompromising policy towards Lukashenka, especially because they understand that they have no leverage to change the situation in Belarus. The EU will have even less opportunities to influence the country as Belarus will get closer to Russia, effectively losing its sovereignty. Belarus can preserve only the formal attributes of independence – like its own president, parliament, army, passports etc.
But to understand whether Belarus is losing its independence it is useful to compare, in a detached fashion, the situation now and, say, ten years ago. Economically, Belarus still depends on Russia for subsidised oil and gas supplies, raw materials and access to the markets as it did ten years ago. Yet Russia still does not control many assets of the Belarusian economy. Economic crises and international isolation has given Russia new opportunities and it finally bought the Belarusian gas transportation system. Skilled Belarusians go to Russia, which needs a labour force, and thus Belarusian enterprises are weakened and can be squeezed from the markets. However, it will have an impact on Belarusian domestic politics and not on its dependent status.
The situation has not dramatically changed in the area of foreign relations or defence either. The Belarusian regime has survived on Russian support since 1997. For the first time the United States and the European Union imposed a travel ban on the regime's top officials in 1998 when Lukashenka expelled Western diplomats from their residences. As for closeness to Russia, the regime has been entwined in the integration games since the very beginning. Militarily, Belarus depends on Russia in every regard - from equipment to training and strategy - and it has been so since 1991.
The threat to national independence lies mostly elsewhere. Russia supports economically weak and internationally isolated Lukashenka because he guards its interests. Lukashenka has one characteristic which makes him the perfect man for the Kremlin: his reputation in the West is so poor that he cannot desert Russia. Any other Belarusian president - even a very pro-Russian one - will not be so limited in his international manoeuvring. In other words, Lukashenka's main asset is his bad reputation.
This policy of Moscow is likely to continue despite occasional quarrels between the two countries.
Isolated in Europe, since 1996
The Belarusian leader demonstrates no wish to renounce his rule. National independence is, probably, a value for him only as far as it helps him to stay in power. Therefore, concerns about Belarusian independence and a possible gradual Anschluss by Russia have been legitimate issues in recent years. Lukashenka, however, is not willing to give away his possessions – including his country – so easily.
Alyaksei Pikulik and Dzyanis Melyantsou of the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies consider the recent diplomatic scandal as the regime's attempt to break out of the long-standing model of relations with Western countries. According to them, the Belarusian regime wants to demonstrate to the West that unlike Ukraine or Moldova, Belarus does not aspire to become a part of the EU. Therefore, Europeans are not supposed to impose any political demands on Minsk. The Belarusian regime wants to be treated as one a post-Soviet countries which has a very limited pragmatic agenda in its relations with Europe – like Uzbekistan or Azerbaijan.
The Belarusian ruler knows well how to play this game with the Russian leadership. He has been mastering his skills to survive despite the Kremlin's pressure since 1994. The regime's and the country's isolation have been ongoing since 1996, with only a brief period of relative engagement with the West in 2008-2010. The isolation has done no known damage to his rule while the collateral damage has included Belarusian exclusion from European processes and strengthening tyranny.
The Survival Game
In this survival game Lukashenka has already given away some strategic assets, such as the gas pipelines that run through Belarus. They have finally been sold to Russia, although Russia had hoped to take them many years ago. Belarus, also with significant delay, put into effect an air defence agreement effectively giving Russia control over a part of the Belarusian military. But apparently Belarus itself does not need this part of its army that much and Russia is happy to pay generously for its military ambitions.
Lukashenka also secured very low prices for Russian gas and oil. While previously 1,000 cubic metres of Russian gas cost Belarus $263, now its price is just $166. Belarus can continue its profitable exports of oil products to Western Europe. Perhaps the present total score for the Belarusian regime looks bad -- but there is no capitulation in sight.
Moscow hardly has a plan to annex Belarus. The Belarusian issue was absent in the Russian presidential elections. Putin has set forth a broader agenda on a Eurasia-wide scale through its Customs Union. That does not mean that Russia has no interest in controlling its Western neighbour.
Rather, Moscow wants to maintain the political status quo and increase its economic control over Belarus. Russian daily Kommersant quoted an anonymous Russian government official who said that the Russian government is very hopeful that the "crisis in relations [of Belarus] with the EU will increase Minsk's dependence on Moscow and accelerate the transition of key Belarusian economic assets to Russian structures."
Lukashenka considers Belarus as his fief rather than a nation which once gave him a mandate to manage its affairs, a mandate which expired years ago. This attitude and his dependance make him a very suitable partner for the Kremlin. Lukashenka ensures that the Belarusian state remains fragile. It also ensures that Belarus cannot develop a serious partnership with the West.
Unfortunately, the West can do little to influence Lukashenka or his sponsors in Russia. It may be easier to change the Belarusian people through gradual engagement and patient work.

- Stylist:
- Ethan Shaw
Sep 23, 2009 - I just received one of the best haircuts of my life by a man who knows his way around curls. I had very long hair when I went in and a pretty good idea of how I wanted it to look coming out. I brought in a photo, gave a description of what I wanted (short with layers below eye level) and he not only listened to me but gave me good advice on how to make the cut work for my face and curl level. Ethan does a mixture of wet and dry cutting, meaning he is not satisfied until each curl is perfect. Ethan charges $70 but it was so worth it. As he washed and dried my hair he walked me through the steps of properly taking care of and styling my curls. He used Deva Curl shampoo (No-poo) and conditioner on my hair and only used one product in it called Re-Coil. He was very nice and I can't recommend him enough. I love my new haircut!

Social Security
Ask Social Security Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Hi, welcome. I'm Megan and I will be happy to assist today
Basically just tell me in your own words, what type of disability do you have. How is it that you are unable to work?
Ok I suffer from PTSD with depressive disorder, lumbar spine degenerative disc disease and spondylosis,I have a bulging disc at my L4 and L5. as well as obstructive sleep apnea
Basically all you have to do is explain how all of that makes it such that you cannot work. For example, with PTSD you can say you get depressed and can't get out of bed some days. For the back issues, you can say that these issues make it difficult for you to sit or stand any length of time.
I cannot sit more than 20-30min at a time at a time; stand more than 30min because of left leg muscle weakness; and bending forward more than 30degress as well as lifting more than 25lbs; cannot pay attention; stay focus on one task; stay organized; have to read the same paragraph over and over
All of that you would put on that question. Very good explanation.
how more detailed do i have to go for question 5 on that form. Is this good enough?
I think it is good enough...it outlines why you cannot work and that's the purpose of the question
this form is so frustrating to fillout because of the question they pose
I understand. Did you need help with any of the other questions?
Im looking
Section D information about abilities is this just like question 5
Yes, they are looking to make sure that your answers are consistent. I know it's a little redundant
can I use the same answer for that?
Yes, you can - you just have to fill out each part of section d
How about these question about instructions authority figures or handle dress. obviously i am pulling my hair out. on these questions. I try not get get upset
what are they really asking?
Okay with authority figures, they are asking if you get along with those who are above you. Someone with some mental disabilities cannot get along with authority...they become violent or nonresponsive, which prohibits them from working
Some people are so disabled they cannot dress themselves. But, if you can dress yourself without help answer honestly
Take a look at the form again, let me know if you have any more questions
They ask about shopping, Describe what you shop for and how often do I shop and Iong it take. I barley get out of the house if it not for me wife reminding to do. I appreciate your patience with me.
That's no problem, it's what I am here for
They are seeing if you go out in public.
If you say you can't stand for longer than 30 minutes, but go shopping for 2 hours, then there's something that doesn't add up in the application
They are looking for inconsistencies
i see
Are there any other questions you are having trouble with?
yes one moe
Okay go ahead
they ask about places i ago 19b. I do and that Church and I try to go on a regular bases, just dont understand the next question. How often do i go and how much do i take part.
Looking for inconsistencies. You say you can't work, yet you take on a leadership role at church which requires significant time and effort on your part
There's nothing wrong with going to church. They won't dock you for that, but they're looking for inconsistencies in what you are saying
ok.. and again thank you for you patience. two more and will be done
Personal care. is it okay that my wife has to remind me to shave and get haircut because i will for week without. not really thinking about those things until she reminds me.
yes, actually that's going to help you out with your disability case
Meals- I do as much as I can until I have to sit down because of the pain in my back
Put that down
how do you ansewr what meal do you prpare. can I just put simple meals.
If your wife prepares your meals, put that down
I help here a bit
Then you put that down, just put down what you can do
what is the correct answer if I hire some to clean and do yard work for question b & c. And that will be the last one. Thanks you so much for your support.
You tell them that you hire it done -- you don't do it
Is there anything else I can help you with today?
im looking but I think I got it. if I have more question I will get back on.
Before you leave, please rate me positively...because that's the only way I receive credit for assisting today
no problem

Here's some live coverage of USA TODAY's interview with Chip Kahn, president of the Federation of American Hospitals. Please forgive the typos during this discussion of health care.
1:11 - "There will be a health bill," Kahn repeats -- Obama and the Democratic Congress can't afford to go back to their voters without one.
1:09 - Another reader wonders about hospital discounts for the insured, but none for the uninsured. Kahn says hospitals work out deals with insurance companies in advance, and those savings get passed to consumers who come in. The volume provided by big insurance companies helps their members, putting individuals at a disadvantage.
1:05 - Wolf cites a question from a blog reader: Will the health industry cut their costs, as promised, and why haven't they done it before? Kahn says there isn't much individual insurance companies can do now, but maybe creation of a group market could reduce overhead costs. Perhaps administrative costs can be reduced under a new set of rules.
1:00 - Kahn notes that the Obama stimulus bill includes health care items, including electronic records. These items were non-controversial, he adds, despite the efforts of some conservative activists to cast the bill as a move towards government-run health care. "They didn't knock it out of the box."
12:58 - Chuck Raasch of Gannett Washington Bureau asks about conservative concerns over "rationing" of health care. Kahn says he doesn't see that as a killer issue because the need for reform is so great; says there is already some rationing of health care because the costs are so great.
12:57 - Kahn notes that some kind of new insurance market will be created, but it's too early to tell how much of it will be publicly financed. "Could" be an ingredient, but no guarantee.
12:55 - Susan Page asks if everybody can hold together politically on a health care deal. Kahn notes that these issues have been discussed for years. "There really is nothing new." Folks have been around the block on this issue, and that will help moving forward. Everybody understands "there are going to be compromises made."
12:54 - Rich asks if there is a "dealbreaker" for the hospitals. Kahn says deep cuts in Medicare and Medicaid would be a "big problem."
12:53 - Kahn again adds that financing is the big issue when it comes to insuring everybody.
12:50 - Wolf asks Kahn what he can and cannot live with. Kahn said President Obama and Congress has played the issue well with "stakeholders," making sure all groups are part of the process. As for his hospital clients, Kahn says the big issue is insurance coverage - everyone should have it, he adds. That removes pressure from all parties.
12:48 - Oval colleague Rich Wolf follows up -- how big a bill do you think will emerge? Kahn says insurance reform is likely, especially Medicare and Medicaid. But, again, financing is a big thing, especially to cover the uninsured.
12:47 - Kahn says any health care plan is a "mosaic" and has to be judged in toto. He said the biggest problem Congress faces is how to finance its plan, especially given the recession. "That is a very big question mark."
12:46 - Kahn says he is convinced a "major health care bill" will pass this year, though he is unsure how big it will be. His hospital clients worry about the costs.
12:44 p.m. - Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page leads off by asking about Kahn's claim to fame -- his "Harry and Louise" ads that helped sink the Clinton health care plan. How would Harry and Louise feel about health care today? Kahn says the important thing is letting people keep the insurance they have -- that was the lesson of 1993-94.

EASTON, Pa. -- Incoming University of Michigan freshman Ronit Yurovsky (New Kensington, Pa./Plum HS) was named the 2012 National High School Senior Athlete of the Year for girls tennis, the National High School Coaches Association (NHSCA) announced last week.
It is the 13th year the NHSCA has honored achievers in the high school athletic community nationwide. Athletes also were recognized in football, baseball, softball, boys and girls volleyball, field hockey, wrestling, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls golf, boys tennis, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls swimming, and boys and girls track and field.
"The 20 young men and women we are honoring today represent the thousands of success stories produced in high school athletics," said NHSCA executive director Bob Ferraro Jr. "They have worked extremely hard to develop their skills and have become not just great athletes, but outstanding role models as well, and we are proud to be honoring them."
Ranked the No. 17 recruit nationally by tennisrecruiting.net and the top-ranked player from the Middle Atlantic region, Yurovsky completed her high school career by winning her second consecutive 3A state singles title last fall. She was a four-time state placewinner, finishing third in state as a sophomore and second in state as a freshman. Before winning her second state title, Yurovsky became just the second girl to become a three-time Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) singles champion. She lost just five singles matches in her high school career and was undefeated in regular-season play.
Currently ranked No. 16 on the USTA Under-18 girls list, Yurovsky claimed the singles title at the 2010 USTA Interscholastics Championship East and was a bronze ball winner as a semifinalist at the 2008 Easter Bowl. This winter, she was a semifinalist in the USTA Under-18 Regional Segment and a finalist in the USTA Under-18 National Open, both held in Grand Rapids, Mich. Yurovsky also was named a 2011 Scholar-Athlete Extra Effort Award recipient and is a volunteer for the Make a Wish Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Fund.

Dental Bridges and Implants
When you have missing teeth, Dr. Raisch can help you decide the best course of treatment to replace them. An expert in dental restoration with many years of experience, he can explain the advantages and disadvantages of the different procedures, and help you decide which is best for you.
Dental Bridges
A bridge is a dental appliance that fills the space where a tooth is missing, replacing the missing tooth by securely fastening it to the healthy teeth on either side. Bridges are very stable, and help protect existing teeth. A bridge has a porcelain tooth that is sandwiched between two crowns. The crowns fit over the healthy teeth on either side of the gap left by a missing tooth.
Why a Bridge?
Spaces left by missing teeth affect the rest of your teeth. Your remaining teeth can shift out of place, changing your smile and how your teeth fit together. This can cause problems with chewing, and make your teeth harder to clean which leads to tooth decay and gum disease.
Dr Raisch uses various types of bridges, including non-metal bridges. He can place bridges with minimal tooth modification, leaving your healthy teeth basically intact.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is commonly made of titanium and replaces the root of a missing tooth. Fastened securely in your jawbone, an implant forms a permanent anchor for your porcelain replacement tooth.
Dental implants are very strong with the bonus that they stop bone loss which occurs when a tooth is lost. The titanium post fuses with the bone preventing it from dissolving.
Implants are also excellent for stabilizing and securing dentures or partial dentures, which make them much more comfortable to wear.
When you choose a dental implant, Dr. Raisch will oversee your treatment to have the post surgically placed. He can then use CEREC one-visit technology to create your porcelain replacement tooth in a single visit. The cost of a dental implant is usually comparable to the cost of a three bridge, and implants are more durable, and likely to retain functionality for a longer period of time.
Advantages of Dental Implants
- Permanently affixed to your jawbone so it won't loosen.
- Long-lasting, typically 25 or more years.
- Stops bone loss in your jaw.
- Keeps you looking younger by preventing shrinkage of jaw bone.
- Strong and stable, you can eat anything you want to.
- Feels and looks just like a natural tooth.
- No need to use healthy teeth to anchor the tooth in place.
For more information, watch this video about dental implants:
Are you a candidate for dental implants?
You need to be in good general and oral health, and have adequate bone in your jaw to support an implant. If you have suffered from bone loss, you may still be able to get implants, but you may need a special bone-grafting procedure to rebuild enough bone.
Dr. Raisch can evaluate you to see if you are a candidate for dental bridges or implants. Call (614) 267-5413 to or click here to request an appointment online.

I was at the Keystone Anthracite coal yard on Monday and saw a large dump type truck come in. He didn't go to the scales but instead backed right up to the next stall. I was in the far end stall getting buckets of rice coal. He backed in and raised his bed and dumped his entire load of rice coal into the bin.
As he pulled forward I asked where he was getting the coal from to deliver to Keystone. He said "Tamaqua."
I had seen him there once before backing into the rice bins but didn't think anything about it. So if your buying bulk rice coal from Keystone Anthracite your getting it from Tamaqua. Where ever it's coming from it burns GOOD.

1892 to 1954, over twelve million immigrants entered the United States
through Ellis Island. Ellis Island is a small island in the
New York Harbor. It's location is just off the New Jersey coast
in the upper bay and is within the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.
Prior to 1890, the individual states regulated immigration into the United States. President Benjamin Harrison designated the island as the site for the first Federal immigration station in 1890. On June 14, 1897, a fire on Ellis Island burned the immigration station to the ground. No lives were lost but many years of Federal and State immigration records that dated back to 1855 burned to the ground along with the many pine buildings located on Ellis Island. The United States Treasury ordered a new facility be built with the stipulation that all future structures be fireproof. The new Main Building opened on December 17, 1900 and 2,251 immigrants were received that day.
The new structure on Ellis Island opened January 1, 1892. Annie Moore, a 12-year-old Irish girl was the first immigrant to be processed at Ellis Island on January 2.
While most immigrants entered the United States through New York Harbor, others entered through other ports such as Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Francisco, Savannah, Miami and New Orleans.

Having recently entered the world of kids sports teams, I am still figuring out how to make it all work. The Lord generously blessed me with back to back practices at the same location for my 2 bigger boys. So we only have one practice night a week. But add in two early evening games, and my weekly dinner plans come crashing down. I know that Red feeds her kids dinner early, but my son takes a medicine that affects his appetite, so we are really tied to specific meal times. We avoid fast food for health and budget reasons. Which leaves me to provide dinner on the go several times a week.
So far I have made homemade burgers, hotdogs, burritos with beans and cheese, and quesadillas and wrapped them in foil to take with us. This rotation is going to get pretty old quickly! I could pack pastas and other thing that need to be eaten with a fork, but that is a lot more time consuming and I would need to bring containers, forks, etc. It is not exactly a leisurely picnic, since I am also making sure the tired toddler doesn't run onto the field.
Any other thought for meals to be eaten outside during Little League games? The Texas bonus is that it is still a million degrees in Texas so everything stays warm

Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum but as a new future Cayman owner, the thought of speed bumps has given me some worry. We stay in the Boston area during the summer and I've noticed this trend towards building these speed humps(?) at certain intersections. You have to drive slow around here anyways but if you were not and you didn't see one of these humps, you could go airborne.
I live in AZ and that is where my '14 Cayman will also live. They love speed bumps there also so these obstructions have been more of a concern knowing how low the Cayman is. I'll have PASM which will lower the car another 10mm.
Are you folks with Caymans able to clear these bumps without scraping? I know of at least one that scrapes the bottom of my Audi if I don't crawl over it.

After various extra-curricular digressions Jack Dee is back on tour doing what he does best.
His thoughts on religion and the monarchy set him wondering if the teenage Jesus was popular at parties because of his ability to turn water into wine and speculating on the state of Prince Philip's bladder during last year's Diamond Jubilee pageant.
These were highlights in a set which catalogued personal irritations, from his neighbour's wind chimes to the problems of finding capable electricians to his daughter's ability to make his money vanish. Dee's modern way of coping with all online communication is an App which responds with a sulky "so what".
It is tempting to say "so what" about his gripe-fest as this is the sort of material that after two decades should come easily to Dee. His Meldrewish moans were hardly groundbreaking, yet he delivered them with so much sardonic style it was impossible not to smile. Nobody can say "thanks" with as much withering sarcasm.
Dee played it safe but scored every time. His only break from tradition was a song at the end. Not a showbiz variety number though. It's glum giggles from nose to tail with or without music.Reuse content
