Do I need to build a base for a plastic shed?
I just purchased a 7x7 plastic storage shed for my back yard and I am told that I should build a cement base for it. Is this true? And how do I go about that?
#1 Never in a millon years buy a plastic shed, I have how ever been paid to haul a few away after a storm when they blew apart.
Your going to have to have something level and flat for it to set on or it will stay out of wack and not be able to open the doors because there so flimsy, and love to blow away.
There's several ways to do it, level the area with #57 stone and use patio blocks to build a frame on top of like for a deck, making sure it's the same size as the shed so water does not get in under the wall and cover with Advantec subflooring.
Or form it and pore a concrete slab making sure it's 4" thick and is raised enough to be 4" above the grade.
I agree with Joe about those plastic sheds.
Regarding a concrete pad, I would first call your township's building or zoning department to see if there are any requirements or recommendations.
For a light and small shed such as yours, my township simply wanted some type of ground anchor so that in case of a wind storm and/or hurricane, the shed did not become a projectile.
If you can, take it back and get something more stable.
As discussed, you need some sort of permanent base to anchor it. The problem is even with metal washers or strips on either side the plastic will fracture as it ages.
As for pouring the slab, read up on forming concrete. Your problem is you will probably have to do it yourself or corner a concrete company working in the area anyhow since it is a small project. Be flexible with your schedule.
The good news is it is a storage shed base and as good a first concrete forming and finishing project as you are going to get.

University of Michigan - VA Training Network Postdoctoral Programs in Psychology
UM/VA Consortium Overview
The University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) and the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System (VAAAHS) have joined programmatic forces to create a network of training programs, consisting of two consortial programs and one non-consortial program. The two consortial programs are Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical Adult Psychology, and the nonconsortial program is in Clinical Child Psychology. The overall Training Network is led by the Psychology Training Committee Chair, Todd Arnedt, Ph.D.
The University of Michigan and VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System provide a rich interdisciplinary training environment with seminars, invited lectures, and opportunities for collaboration with faculty across disciplines and departments. According to the U.S. News and World Report, the University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers have been named #1 in Michigan, and among the best in the nation in 12 adult specialties, for 2013-2014 and the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital is among the best children's hospitals in the country in pediatric specialties, and was the only hospital in Michigan ranked in all 10 specialties, for 2012-13. Fellows in the Clinical Child Psychology specialty area and residents in the Clinical Neuropsychology specialty area complete their training over a two-year period. Residents in the Clinical Adult Psychology Program complete training after one year; residents at the University of Michigan in the Clinical Adult area have the option to (and are encouraged to) extend their training into a second year, to enhance their research and advanced clinical training portfolio. For residents in the two-year programs, appointments are made initially for one year with a second year re-appointment being expected but at the discretion of the postdoctoral resident and the program. Satisfactory completion of the two-year postdoctoral residency generally requires a minimum of 22 months of active participation with final approval and certification of all postdoctoral trainees by the Network Training Committee. The UMHS and VAAAHS residencies differ slightly in ancillary benefits on a yearly basis, with a stipend of $45,913 for the first year and generous health benefits, and increases in stipends for the second year.
The University of Michigan programs in this training network are among the first in the nation to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association in Clinical Psychology. Two of the programs are accredited for specialty training (Clinical Child Psychology and Clinical Neuropsychology); the third is accredited for Clinical Adult Psychology. All three programs are accredited by the American Psychological Association (next site visit 2020).
Questions about the accreditation and the accreditation process can be addressed to:
Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation American Psychological Association
750 First Street N.E., Washington DC, 20002
Phone: 202-336-5979
The training philosophy of the programs within this network is a scientist-practitioner model. The institutional philosophy and values of all the programs in the network are focused on normative healthcare ethical values of beneficence, non-malfeasance, and social contract in a context of public service. The central goal and mission of the training network is to contribute to the development of competent clinical psychologists. To serve this overall goal, the training network welcomes applications from individuals who have graduated from clinical/counseling psychology programs. The programs select candidates whose academic and clinical preparation, supervisor recommendations, and perceived synergy with our programs are ideally suited. Thus, we hope to identify postdoctoral residents who demonstrate a readiness to learn. To that end, the training network provides the breadth and depth of experiences in assessment, treatment, consultation, and scholarly support of practice and research.

text: Increase your luck with hard work Editor:My, oh my, are you not lucky! Do you realize that you and your family reading this letter are better off today than the King of England was, say, 100 years ago?You have radio, TV, air-conditioning, central heat, the automobile, cellphone, computer, e-mail, calculator, refrigerator, freezer, health care, supermarket shopping, oh, and yes, little Butch most likely has his own football helmet. Need I say more?Keep in mind, particularly you younger people, that the harder you work, the luckier you will be!Larry GamertsfelderWoosterAmerica can be example to world againEditor:Twenty-three months ago the cold wind of war blew over this land. We were told by the administration that the war on terror in Afghanistan needed assistance: a pre-emptive war on Iraq. Buzz phrases such as weapons of mass destruction, mushroom clouds, nuclear devices, trailers with canisters of poison gas, all indicators of imminent doom to our country, were on the lips and voices of government leaders to lay the blanket of fear over the American public.In opposition to these opinions came authentic voices of protest from national, international and local knowledgeable figures. These voices were recorded but not heard. War it was determined to be, war it was and still is today.The question now is how to resolve this war which is cutting short the lives of brave women and men in our armed forces and also in the Iraqi citizenry, many of them innocent children.Luckily the American system of electing a president every four years gives us a solution. It is time, as Republican Dwight Eisenhower said when he defeated Democrat Adlai Stevenson, "Time for a Change." That time is here again. Sen. John Kerry has vowed to change affairs in Iraq by quickening the training of Iraqi forces to replace American soldiers and bring them home. Sen. Kerry does not underestimate the dangers in Iraq and adjacent countries, but he knows the present chaos cannot continue.Sen. Kerry thinks logically about many of the current American problems. He senses the deep despair of the unemployed, the plight of the sick and elderly caught in a maze of spiraling health insurance and prescription drug costs. He has a solution to sort out these worries. He understands that "Leave No Child Behind" is more than a cutesy slogan and needs bipartisan funding to become an effective way to educate all children fairly.Sen. Kerry also knows that Head Start is a household icon for low-income families and needs strengthening and reinforcing. In Wayne and Medina Counties alone some 600 children attend current Head Start classes. Result for the communities, better citizens in post-school years, more interest in books, libraries, art, music, more personal involvement, fewer social disasters.It is a reasonable time for change. Sen. Kerry is a reasonable man and deserves the confidence of voters who want America to be the example to the world of truth, honor and justice.Clare Adel SchreiberWoosterWeather, politics don't mixEditor:In response to the letter to the editor equating the "weather conditions" to President Bush's visit, I would like to say that is the most absurd letter I have ever read. It is quite scary to think anyone would vote for John Kerry because after President Bush's visit "the sun came back out and everything was warm, bright and beautiful in Wayne County again."Just for the sake of argument, let's assume the premise was correct that the sun did shine again. From my point of view, "because" of President Bush's visit and by his mere presence, the clouds parted and we were enveloped by his aura. Again, I say this is absurd.I would rather make my decision to vote for President Bush on something a little more concrete than the placement of a particular cloud at a particular moment. Fact: We were attacked eight months after President Bush took office. The plan for that attack took many years for the terrorists to finalize, all during President Clinton's reign. After 9/11, we have not had one attack on our soil and according to Time magazine reporter Perry Bacon, one attack a week is being thwarted by the Bush administration.Now that is a fact I'm taking to the voting booth.Janel RodgersWoosterSoutheast has proven record of excellenceEditor:On Nov. 2, voters in the Southeast Local School District will be asked to help pass a 5-year renewal levy that will generate $1,017,000. It is imperative that the residents of Southeast Local continue to support the district and vote yes on Issue 28.This levy will not result in a tax increase as it is simply a renewal of an emergency levy that was passed originally in August of 1997. It was then renewed in March of 2000 for a period of 5 years. It is now time to renew the levy again. The revenue generated is used for general operating expenses such as textbooks, supplies, computers, busing, salaries and benefits.The Southeast Local School District strives to maintain a high level of academic excellence. This ranges from the textbooks and computers to teachers and staff. I think the district has proven its success and its students are reaping the benefits.For those of you who aren't aware of a most recent success in the district, Fredericksburg Elementary was recently named a No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. This program honors public and private K-12 schools that are either academically superior in their states or that demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement. On July 28, 2002, U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige announced that schools singled out for national honors will now reflect the goals of our nation's new education reforms for high standards and accountability. This honor was awarded to only 17 schools in the state of Ohio and only a few hundred schools nationwide.This is an outstanding achievement for our school district! This could have never been done without the support of the residents of the district. Our children have been provided with the tools needed to get the job done. Please continue to support our children and vote yes on Issue 28.As a parent of Southeast Local students, I am not only proud to be a part of the district, but also thankful that my children will have the opportunity to become upstanding citizens and future leaders with the guidance of successful educators.Jennifer WilesWoosterFaith should be essence of decisionsEditor:I believe a politician should absolutely use his religion to base decisions in office. If one candidate were Christian and the other scientologist, we would hope they stand firm in their convictions and we could side accordingly.A faith should be the essence of our life, actions, thoughts.The debate moderator Oct. 13 said Catholic archbishops encouraged their congregations not to vote for Sen. Kerry because of the stands he has taken. Sen. Kerry said he was raised and "taught" those views, "respects" and "disagrees" with those views.What part of God's word does he disagree with?Deb MillerWooster

Next morning the snow had vanished, and the white hat must have been obvious to the wayfaring man though a fool.
Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfaring men!
Scripture is plain, so that the wayfaring man, though a fool, may not err therein.
A wayfaring man means one who is on the way, one who lives on the way.
Every thing concerning our practice is plain even to wayfaring men.
Some man that wayfaring was stood by housedoor at night's oncoming.
Of the one it is written: "The wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein."
The law of hospitality opened all doors to the wayfaring freeman.
The center of the square is a paradise for wayfaring horses, for it is their favorite grazing ground.
The wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err here, it is so plain.

(Opening statement)
"Nothing really stuck out after the press conference that we had after the game. I'm really proud of how we played. We had an incredible amount of big plays, 20 big plays on offense. I've never been around that many. We just kind of overwhelmed the secondary. We played really well the third quarter. We keep emphasizing that second half coming out of the locker room. Two weeks in a row we've done that. This week, we plan on kicking Derrick Brodus starting out as long as things stay the same during the week. I still believe in Mike [Palardy] but he has some things he still needs to work through, and Derrick earned the right to be out there. From an injury standpoint, Christian Harris we've activated. I'm not saying he's going to play and be ready but he's now out there. He's working with the defense and we need him because we're so thin at inside backer. Pig Howard is activated. We'll see how much we can get out of him. We need him, especially in the slot. Curt [Maggitt] and Herman [Lathers] are still questionable for the game and it's just going to be day-to-day. Obviously, we're playing a very talented Florida team. I think Will [Muschamp] is getting the team how he wants it. Great defense starts with their front seven. There aren't many teams in the country with a front seven like these guys. We did not win the line of scrimmage on either side last year with these guys. That's going to be our challenge this year. They have a special running back, really efficient pass game. We have our work cut out for us. I told the team they've earned the right to get some of the attention that they've been getting by how they've preformed the last couple of weeks. That's good, that's what we should get. But now we have to earn the right to continue getting it and earn the right to play well by how we prepare this week so that's kind of where we are."
(On being pleased with today's practice)
"We had a little more spunk out there today. Every day, the preparation builds each day. I think it's important for our team keeps their focus on what they need to do to play well this week and not on all the external drama that's certainly going to be there."
(On switching kickers)
"It's really no different than all the other positions, it's performance-based and it's my responsibility as a coach. If I feel like another guy is more deserving and gives us a better chance to get through the game, then that's what we're going to do. I don't know if it's the right one but it's what we're going to do. We'll see, only time will tell. Mike understands it. I still believe in Mike. He's talented. He has some technical things to work through to get him out there to perform better on game day and he'll do it."
(On his feelings in post-game press conference)
"I was excited. I just didn't seem it, I guess. I was happy with how we played. There was a huge talent disparity. That's not a disrespect, that's just where the two programs are. Those guys really competed well. They did, they should be proud. The quarterback was getting hit a lot and he kept coming. The running back caused us problems. I know Coach Curry was proud of them, he should be."
(On his sense of Florida's abilities)
"I think that all the people who were doubting them going into the season, they went out there and proved them wrong. The proved their mettle, they proved their ability, the ability to have some grit in the second half. To me, they proved they're one of the top teams in the league and it wasn't surprising."
(On the team's run game)
"We were very efficient again. We significantly got our goals. The average per carry was good, we would like it to be better. We made more mental errors than I thought we had made and I was very surprised at some of the mental errors we made up front. I was disappointed by that. I'm not sure what the reason was, because it wasn't anything complex. They weren't really doing anything different, probably just a lack of focus. I think there's a lot of good things in our run game but then there are a lot of concerns. Nothing has really changed. The good thing is we're running for about a football field more than we did last year. Of course we haven't gone against this league. This will be a good test for us."
(On the team's focus)
"It depends on your level of maturity and your experience in the situation. This will be a little new for us. It's good. I think our players will handle it fine. This is where you want to be. You didn't come to Tennessee to not be on a big game, big stage and game day. That's why you came here. It shouldn't really have any impact on preparation, any impact on focus. The only impact it has is for the fans."
(On Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel's ability)
"He's a big guy. He's got a very strong arm. He's been accurate the first couple of games. I think they feel pretty settled at that position. We have to make sure to keep our pass rush lanes, which we haven't done a great job of the first week. We have to keep working on it."
(On Florida's front seven)
"They're really good at everything. They have some special NFL high-round caliber guys. No. 2 wore us out last year. We couldn't block him. No. 73 is a special talent. Their MIKE linebacker, No. 1, he's kind of their quarterback. He's a little bit what A.J. [Johnson] is to us. They're really deep. They're able to play a lot of guys and there's not a big drop off. In the last three to four years, they've had the No. 2, No. 3 class in the country recruiting. When you turn on the film, you see it. They have excellent, excellent personnel."
(On James Stone)
"This will be a good opportunity for him. I don't think any of our guys really kept their composure last year against them. But it's a new year. Hopefully we've learned from it. I think we've learned from it by evidence of how we've played the first couple games. Bu this will be a good test for them."
(On whether this is his most important game here)
"Every game you go, the more you win, the more important they become. That's how it is. The more you lose, the more important they become. They're all important. It's kind of like the first game. If we want to go out there and play, we want to win. If we win, we have a lot more games left on the schedule. If we don't win, the sky isn't going to fall. We have to regroup, learn from it and go play the rest of the schedule. We've played two games. This is our third game, our conference opener. We'll find out a little more about our football team this week."
(On goals of getting in the top 25)
"We have some basic program standards that we kind of established that I think all the Tennessee fans expect. Certainly, at Tennessee we want to be in the top 25 like a hundred other teams. You can't be if you don't keep winning. If you're focused on being in the top 25 and not what you need to do to be in the top 25, then you're not going to be in the top 25."
(On preparing for Florida)
"It was a good early test so we haven't not been tested but this is going to be a different test. It is going to be a level of personnel A: who we haven't beaten in a long time and B: who is probably one of the best fronts in the country. There is more to come down the road. You look at these games and it just sums up what this league is. You look at Florida's game last week, the second half the defense just keeps beating on them and beating on them and eventually they pull away. That is what makes this league tough, you have to go against these defenses."
(On Florida)
"Will [Muschamp] is starting to get his team to look like what he wants his team to look like. They are a pro-style and they are multi-formational, so they are going to try and get you out-flanked. We are going to try and be physical at the line of scrimmage and have a heavy back. That is his philosophy and they are starting to play Muschamp ball."
(On Tyler Bray)
"He is two-for-two. I think that is fair to say. He has played two great games and but he also knows he is going to get measured by his body of work over time and this will be a big challenge for him. He knows he is going to get a lot of pressure. He has to get the ball out, our guys have to win outside on the perimeter. It is going to be a little tough, this is going to be a whole different philosophy in the secondary because they are going to put their hands on us and play deny the ball. They are going to grab and they are going to push, it is going to be physical. We have to go out there and match it."
(On Mike Gillislee)
"He is extremely productive, he is elusive and he is heavy. If you have bad tackling technique, he is going to break it. If you don't come in at a good angle he is going to make you miss, and he has the power to get extra yards."
(On the up-tempo offense)
"It is a good question. It is a little bit philosophy and I used to be that philosophy. I am not anymore - I want to score. I did a lot of soul searching in the off season about all that. Defense has to go and stop them, but if you keep scoring it is harder and harder for the other team. I know that because I have been on the other side of it. I am not going to slow our guys down. I want them to play fast and I want them to have fun. If they score, let's go stop them."
(On the offense enjoying the change to up-tempo)
"I know the offense does. I told Sal [Sunseri] when I hired him that it was going to look a little different than he is used to. Sal understands it - he is in. It is philosophy, doesn't mean one is right and the other is wrong. But given what we have on our football team I just think that gives us the best chance to win and that is why we are doing what we do. "
(On allowing the defense to prepare)
"That was the challenge - how do you have an up tempo offense and still give the defense a chance to go prepare to go play. Time will tell if we got it right. We haven't really changed how we do our practice structure much but we have changed how we do the offense. We could get it done a lot quicker but I am not going to compromise the defense."
(On the linebacker position)
"Those guys are doing a good job, but we are better with the other two too. Those guys can come in and spare them. Anytime you lose two players like that on defense and you are already thin at backer, you are not feeling good. It is not because you don't feel good about Willie Bohannon and Dontavis Sapp but we are a lot better with everyone healthy."
(On this team being tougher than the previous two)
"I think time will tell. We think we are but until you go out there against this league we have to go prove it."
(On the exposure from College Gameday)
"It is good but the best exposure you can get is to win. That hasn't changed. If you go and have GameDay out there and you go lay an egg, all that goes out the window."
(On Florida's front)
"I think it is fair to say. You look at the top defenses in the country and what they have starts up front. You look at the teams that have consistently played good defense in our league over the last three or four years, it starts up front. It isn't just that they have a few guys up front that are good, it is that they are deep, they are able to go four quarters and they are able to make game-changing plays in the second half. That is usually what happens, those game-changing plays. You saw it in both of those games this past weekend."
(On taking the defense a while to settle in)
"I am hoping just experience and recognition. You are always going to see new stuff early in the game. They have a plan and they are going to attack you a certain way. Over time - we have seen that and we know what to do. I am hoping just time."
(On the communication on defense)
"No I didn't think communication was really the issue in this game. As much as the first game. This one they got us on a few things - we were a little soft, we got picked one time. They hit a big play early on. We had a couple of busted coverages that hurt us, lost the edge a couple of times just not playing technique right. We need to come out and play a little better it the first quarter, but if you are going to pick a quarter not to play well it is probably a good one. Play well in two, three and four."
(On Derrick Brodus)
"Well, he has made every kick every time he has been out there. He kicks it high and he has a nice calm about him. We will see."
(On the length limit for Brodus)
"I don't know. We will see how the week goes."
(On who will do kickoffs)
"We will keep Michael Palardy on kickoff. He has been doing a pretty good job on kickoffs."
(On recruiting in Florida)
"No - it is still a big emphasis. We have had a lot more success in the Northern part of the state. We have gotten a lot of kids from the Jacksonville/Gainesville area, Orlando has been good to us. There are a lot of good players down there, but there is a lot of competition. We have some nonstop flights to Knoxville so that helps. They are cheap. It helps the family budget too when they have to come see their boy play when you can get flights for 49 bucks. Orlando nonstop and Jacksonville nonstop. We are working on getting Southwest here too, if anyone can help us on that. Helps recruiting."
(On A.J. Johnson)
"He's been doing great as MIKE. He's really starting to blossom as a MIKE LB. He is getting a little more vocal. I think the reps are giving him a little more confidence that he knows it, probably better than he thought he did. He is a really good football player. He just finds his way to the football like every good MIKE LB does... he's a good one."
(On how AJ has progressed from year one to two)
"His instinct, the better you understand the defense the more your instincts can put you in a better position to make a play. You look at last year; he was instinctive but didn't really know what was going on. He is playing at a high level right now."
(On recruiting both AJ Johnson and Curt Maggitt)
"I was trying to just get some good defensive football players. They would be good in any scheme."
(On the play of Mo Couch)
"Mo has really played great. He really has. He has been very consistent up front. He is playing with a lot more discipline, scheme discipline, and he has been productive two weeks in a row."
(On the 3-4 defense on young QB)
"I think it's more with the philosophy, not just 3-4 verses 4-3. What the defense of philosophy is in trying to create confusion for the QB and there are a lot of ways to do it. We played some teams that really didn't blitz at all but created a lot of confusion on the back end by all of their looks and disguises. You play some teams that create confusion with their blitz packages and others created confusion in their front packages. It is really more philosophical on how they want to disrupt the quarterback."
(On short-yardage situations offensively)
I think it's an element of both. There is execution but also a level of it is third-and-one it is not just running a play. Your pad level has to be a little bit different, your finish has to be a little bit different and your mindset has to be a little different. So probably a little bit of both."
(On the defensive pass rush this year)
"We're getting back there a little better. We hit the guy a lot last week. I do not know about our sacks right now. We don't have a lot of them but we're getting back there."
(On the kicking game)
"I have confidence to kick Derrick (Brodus), I do. I wouldn't name him a starter if I did not. We work on fourth downs. It is just a lot of it depends on what yard line, what the situation in the game is, what the field conditions are, what the weather is. There is a lot that goes into whether you go for it or not. I'm really not going to view our decision to kick a field goal any different than last week."
(On Florida's pass rush against A&M)
"They did a good job. It looked like they got him a few times on a scramble situation. We're going try to get out there. I know this when the quarterback has a little room in the pocket he can really hurt you and he did that."
(On the rotation at RB)
"I don't know. That will be a week-to-week thing on who's running well. We have got to protect the football; that is paramount. We hadn't done a good job of that last week. We have to run with our pads down and create yardage. We're going to start with Rajion (Neal) like we did this week and see how they run."
(On RB Quenshaun Watson)
"I was pleased with Que. He has a level of toughness about him even though he's a little guy that you like in a runner and he has speed. It was good to see him in his first game out there and he did a pretty good job. We got some yards and we had a lot of first time players out there."

From Sony: NEX-6 Adventure

Sony Alpha a5100 (no lens included)

Could it be true? The short 2-minute, continuous-shot video you and your buddies made on a boring rainy weekend with your new Sony NEX-6 — that you uploaded online directly from your camera, no less — has attracted the attention of the local arts council. You've been asked if you might consider submitting an expanded version for the city's film festival later in the summer. Are you ready for the challenge? With the Sony Alpha NEX-6, there's no doubt you'll have the tools to set your talent free.
Of course, the NEX-6 is an exceptional and versatile still camera. And those stills will probably be helpful in your upcoming production. But it's good to know that the big Exmor® APS-C sensor, the low-compression high-def video capture, and the flexibility of 60p/60i/24p frame rates are standing by to help make your video project look the best it can. And wait: the NEX-6 is the first in its family to offer compatibility with Sony's Handycam® video line of accessories, by way of the new Multi-Interface Shoe. This freshly redesigned bracket doesn't just give an external flash unit a place to live. It also hosts tools for the video artist, things like microphones and lights. And don't forget, the NEX-6 is compatible with the growing line of tack-sharp Sony E-Series lenses, so you'll be able to fine-tune your shooting approach to your surroundings and subject matter.
Wi-Fi® adds another dimension to your camera's skillset. Like your smartphone, your NEX-6 can download apps that can make your camera even more useful. Imagine doing retouching on your touchscreen, or using your tablet as a remote viewer/controller for your camera. Features like this can make you a director and your movie's star simultaneously. Don't let one member of the family/friends/crew (yourself) be invisible anymore.
And you'll appreciate all the things that make the NEX-6 a top-level still camera as well. Dedicated exposure and control dials are placed within easy reach of your thumb and index finger, so you can concentrate on the scene in front of you instead of reading menus. Fast hybrid autofocus uses two strategies (contrast detection and phase detection) to predict and track moving subjects in space. Auto Portrait Framing and Auto HDR ensure that the pictures you capture are more likely to be keepers. And the ultra-high resolution organic LED (OLED) viewfinder, in all its 2,359k-dot glory, is such a thing of beauty that's it's been repeatedly acclaimed in enthusiast magazine and website reviews since its introduction back in 2011.
So feel free to yell "action" anytime you want. This camera lives for it, and it lives to put it on your screen or picture frame. Don't forget to bring it to the awards ceremony.
This camera is great and the pricing and delivery by Crutchfield.com was the best experience I've ever had.

Exposure Modes: The camera offers the following exposure modes:
Picture Effects: The NEX-6 allows you to shoot photos with an effect filter to obtain various images. Available effects include: Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization, Retro Photo, Soft High-key, Partial Color, High Contrast Mono, Soft Focus, HDR Painting, Rich-tone Mono, and Miniature.
Image Layering: In some Scene Selection modes, the camera captures 6 images in a fraction of a second, then combines the data to create a single image. This helps to control blur (Anti-Motion Blur mode) and to get cleaner, sharper nighttime pictures (Hand-held Twilight mode).
Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-3.0 EV in 1/3-step increments (+/-2.0 EV for movies).
Face Detection: When activated, the camera detects the faces of your subjects and adjusts the focus, flash exposure, and white balance settings automatically. You can also select the priority face to be focused on, or register the faces on which to automatically focus upon.
Auto Portrait Framing: When taking a photo of a person's face, the Auto Portrait Framing feature analyzes the scene and saves another image of the face with a more impressive composition. Combining Face Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technology with rule of thirds, Auto Portrait Framing provides beautifully composed and appealingly balanced, full resolution portraits. This feature can be turned off, if desired.
Metering Mode: An advanced 1200-zone evaluative sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy in a wide range of lighting conditions. You can select from the following methods for measuring the brightness of a subject:
White Balance: You can adjust the color tones according to the lighting conditions. You can choose from the following WB options:
Creative Style: This camera is pre-programmed with image styles optimal for various scenes and purposes. For each setting, you can adjust the contrast, saturation, and sharpness. You can choose from the following settings: Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, and Black & White.
ISO Settings: ISO is a unit of measurement of sensitivity to light. The larger the number, the higher the sensitivity. The camera's ISO can be set automatically (100-3200) or manually at ISO 100-25600.
Noise Reduction: The camera offers Long Exposure and High ISO Noise Reduction (NR) to automatically reduce the grainy noise found in photos during long exposures or high ISO settings.
Playback Options: You can view images on the LCD monitor with 3 options: with recording data displayed, without recording data, or histogram display.
Auto Review: After an image is recorded, you can have the camera automatically display it on the LCD monitor for two, five or 10 seconds. You can also turn off auto review.
Image Rotation: Vertical shots can be rotated automatically so that they are displayed upright during playback. This can be done manually or automatically.
Playback Screen: You can view your photos back as a single image on the LCD monitor, as an Index or as a Slide Show . During Index View mode, you can view 6 or 12 images at once. You can adjust the Slide Show mode interval from 1, 3, 5, 10, or 30 seconds.
Image Enlargement: During single image playback you can enlarge an entire image or a select area of an image, depending upon the image size. Small images can be enlarged up to 6.8x, Medium images to 9.9x, and Large images up to 13.6x. Once you have enlarged the image, you can pan around the image to view the desired portion.
Rotating Images: Images can be rotated counter-clockwise 360-degrees on the camera's LCD monitor during single image playback.
Protect Images: You can protect all images on your memory card or select only certain images to be protected from accidental erasure.
Printing Options: The camera offers the following printing options.
InfoLithium Battery: The NEX-6 is powered by the NP-FW50 InfoLithium battery (supplied). The battery communicates data to the camera, so that the percentage of battery power remaining can be displayed. Stamina Battery power allows you to take up to 360 images with the LCD screen, or 270 shots with the viewfinder, with a fully-charged battery.
Charging: The supplied InfoLithium battery requires approximately 280 minutes for a full charge, using the supplied AC-UB10 AC adapter and USB cable. You can also charge the battery in the camera via USB while plugged into your computer.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
When faced with a traditional DUI charge, and the indicated level of alcohol allows the state to have a presumption of intoxication in its favor, the defendant must introduce evidence of non-intoxication to rebut the presumption, or face virtual certain conviction.
If the trial judge incorrectly instructs the jurors about presumptions (making it irrebuttable or mandatory), such instruction constitutes reversible error.
With blood tests, if the personnel drawing the blood for the state's test do not follow the required rules and regulations, the test results can be totally excluded from the evidence.
With blood tests, the use of an alcohol laden swab on subject's skin contaminates the puncture site and voids the test by the state.
The police lacked probable cause to make the "stop", so all tests and evidence gathered as part of the illegal arrest must be thrown out of court.
If the arresting officer misstates the required wording of the implied consent warnings, the state's BAC test results will be excluded from trial, or the entire case may be dismissed.
Use the "Driver's Rights" cards which "speak for you" in asserting your rights in the event of a confrontation with police.
"Blend in" with traffic because studies have shown that it is significantly more difficult for police to detect an impaired driver than when your car is isolated on the highway.
If the police fail to fully advise you of what types of independent tests you may take pursuant to state statutes and regulations, this will cause the state's test results to be excluded from evidence.
Proving that the defendant partition ratio is not "normal" such that the pre-set breath testing machine standards are inaccurate can provide the necessary evidence to convince the jury that the BAC results are not worthy of belief.
Proving that the defendant's hematocrit is outside the normal range and significantly "variant" to cause an adjustment in the indicated BAC reading may drop the defendant's BAC level below the per se standard (or the "presumed" intoxicated threshold) set by law.
Attacking the breath testing machine's accuracy based upon its record of failure during certification tests may cast sufficient doubt upon reliability of the machine to either cause the judge to exclude the test results or convince the jury not to believe the state's BAC reading.
Bridgework or false teeth may "trap" mouth alcohol and contaminate a breath machine sample. The failure of police to cause dentures to be removed before a test can be grounds for dismissal of charges, or at least grounds for excluding the state's breath test results.
Vomiting or burping delays the start of the breath test due to the contamination of your mouth by alcohol brought up from the stomach. The failure of the officer to restart the observation period will be grounds to exclude the state's BAC results.
Where the prosecution uses a witness to try to establish that you had a higher BAC at the time of driving (by using retrograde extrapolation techniques), based on the witness' lack of knowledge about your rate of elimination, timing of the drinking period, strength of the alcoholic beverage, and other variables which will affect the Widmark curve.
Always get the names, addresses and telephone numbers of potentially beneficial witnesses regarding your appearance of sobriety at the police station, or during the time your were receiving your independent tests. These witnesses may help your attorney build your defense.
When obtaining your independent tests, be certain that the laboratory analyzes whole blood and not plasma. Whenever plasma is tested, the results can be as much as 20% higher than when whole blood is utilized.
Always ask for "split" samples on blood tests so that an unaltered portion can be later tested to determine unusual hematocrit or other atypical conditions of your blood.
At the police station, stay seated and be certain that you maintain a composed demeanor at all times. You may be "on camera" with the police department's video tape machine.
If the police ask your permission to videotape you, don't agree to this, since this likely means that you look drunk, and they want to tape you so it can be used against you later.
Be certain that you can establish a "clean" chain of custody for your independent test samples in the event these are required to be transported for analysis.
Radio frequency interference may occur in police stations or in "mobile" testing facilities and may cause several brands of breath testing machines to give artificially high readings.
Whenever state law permits a preliminary hearing, the defense attorney may benefit from using this pretrial hearing to obtain sworn testimony from the witnesses for the prosecution which cannot later be changed or embellished to suit the needs of the state's case.
A defense attorney may use a motion in limine to suppress evidence to eliminate the state's principal evidence against you in the case (the BAC test result) thereby effectively winning the case.
A motion for disclosure under Brady v. Maryland will sometimes uncover potentially exculpatory evidence which will effectively negate the state's evidence.
Where the judge refuses to excuse a biased juror from the jury panel in your case, such refusal will constitute reversible error in the event you are convicted.
Once the state has put up all of its witnesses and evidence, and has "rested", the defense attorney can seek to have the judge decide that the evidence in the case is insufficient to support the defendant's conviction. This is called a motion for directed verdict of acquittal.

aibu to think this is discrimination?(48 Posts)
I'm a single mum and I work full time office hours. I was looking at toddler groups that run at the wweekend, my local sure start centre runs a Saturday toddler group however it is only open to dads. I rang the group to query this and was told that I couldn't bring my child to this group and they do not have a weekend group open to mums. AIBU to be really upset by this? Surely it's discrimination?
I am thinking about putting in a complaint - but I don't think it would get me anywhere. I just feel it is another example of single mothers being discriminated against and it makes me and
I think you should complain and explain that mothers work too. I always thought Surestart was there for support. Doesn't seem to be offering you any does it?
I think yabu. Do you think single dads should be able to take their dc to women only swimming sessions if it is tge only time they can go?
If it is a dads only group the dynamic will be dramatically changed with a mum there.
Does your local library do Saturday story time?
I second youcats suggestion of complaining. My local book bugs sessions at the library offer a day on a Saturday for dads but mums are welcome too.
What's swimming got to do with anything?
I understand the validity of a dad's group however why can they not offer a mum's group or a mixed group at the weekend? No my local library story time is during the week too.
froken I always thought the woman's only sessions at the swimming were predominantly for women who have to keep their bodies covered around men for religious/cultural reasons, was I completely wrong?
It's very annoying, do complain. DH is SAHD and he found that he was always being told to come to Saturday dad sessions and rather unwelcome at the standard weekday ones. But Sat am he had a rest and I had the children, and there were no groups for us to go to.
I think YABU. It is fine for them to run a dads only group at the weekend and for mums not to be welcome at it.
If you think there should also be a mums only group, or a open to all toddler group too, that's a different matter.
I'd write also, but I wouldn't make it a complaint as such.
I think it's great they run a dad's group, and I have no problem with them wanting to keep that exclusive to dads. However, I'd say I was very disappointed that there was no recognition of the fact that most mothers work these days too, and a large number would be unable to make a week-day session.
however why can they not offer a mum's group or a mixed group at the weekend?
Probably because no one has offered to run one. If it's important to you, you could always volunteer.
it isnt discrimination.. maybe there is an actual demand by dads that they want to go to this
surely whoever looks after your toddler during the week could take him to the weekday ones
there are plenty of single dads who dont really have a lot of "dad and child" activity groups whereas mothers tend to have a lot more available things to do
and as most people are at home rather than at work at weekends, they want to spend time with their child to themselves, not at a group
I would suggest that mothers tend to have a lot more things available to do during the week which working mothers can not access
Difficult one. Dividing down gender lines is difficult. There is definitely a case for having a session on the weekend exclusively for non-primary carers. I have always seen the 'mum/dad' labels as guidance only. I am a father and I have attended 'mums and tums' sessions during the week when I have been off work. I have also seen females at the 'dads club' on a Saturday morning. Taking this to the extreme of 'banning' people because of their gender is wrong in both cases. The swimming comparison is interesting and depends on the definition. Dads should not be allowed to attend female only swimming. Dads should be allowed to attend mother-and-child swimming sessions.
Isn't the idea of a toddler group mainly for your dc to mix with other small dc? So if you're working FT and leaving your dc at a nursery or with a childminder, they get that social interaction anyway? I hated toddler groups and wouldn't go to one if I had a dc attending nursery.
I've always found that most parents of young dc aren't interested in doing anything at the weekend other than with their families so toddler groups wouldn't get enough people attending and any parents I met at a toddler group wouldn't be interested in meeting up if I wasn't available during the week.
I don't think you are being unreasonable. We actually do have a few 'dad's' events on weekends near us. However they all say that other male carers are welcome and that mums can come too, although the focus will be on dads. Dads are always welcome at the mums' groups too (the ones run by the childrens' centres, not private ones), even the breastfeeding ones. I do think the weekend events should be open to 'non-primary carers' or people who work full-time and want to do these things on a weekend, rather than "mums" or "dads". I mean, what about same-sex couples? Fair enough for private groups to be single-sex but I think the ones run by the Sure Start centres should be inclusive.
Legally, if they are just saying that this service is for male parents and not female parents, that would be direct (and unlawful) sex discrimination. If it is actually for a reason that just happens to favour dads more than mums (eg, for parents who work all week, or non-primary carers, that would be indirect discrimination, which is lawful if they can show that it is justified as a proportionate way to meet a legitimate aim; but they couldn't exclude mums who met those criteria - eg who worked all week. So you should get them to explain their reasons for admitting men only. You are not. BU.
All I can say is get used to it in the most polite way.
There are many things I would love to do in my DC schools, but they always land when I am working.
Simple, that's bull shit.
It's more than likely the group is funded specifically to offer support to dad's, a group that's hard to reach, figures will show that. All funders have funded specific dad projects for that reason. I've just out in a bid to get funding to start one at my work. You will probably find it won't be your average hands on all is well dad going to these groups, rather dad's in need of some support in being a dad. Chances are they haven't got a dad to base anything on themselves.
A lot of dad's attending a group targeted at them might only actually have their children at the weekend.
Speak to the centre by all means, but don't start spouting discrimination etc. Identify your need to them, offer to help set up a more generic group.
Funding for activities for 'normal' (non issue based) is bloody hard!
there obviously hasn't been the demand for a mothers or mixed weekend toddler group in your area. you could start one.
I think it's great that they're happy turning you away from the dad's group. It's a more relaxed environment for the dads...they don't have to be so intimidated as there won't be women watching like hawks (I'll admit I do this, I know many others who do too...it's in our nature where children are involved).
It's unfortunate that they don't have a gender-irrelevant group that you can attend at weekends though. If I were you, I'd put the discrimination card to one side and write to them asking if they intend to start a group you can attend at weekends.
Ilethim has probably hit the nail on the head. My local children's centre does exactly the same and it is because they get extra funding for reaching out to dads. My DH is a SAHD and goes to groups during the week but I don't get to go to groups as I'm at work and the only weekend group is dads only. It is once a month and I have suggested a mixed "working parents" group also once a month but they say they can't fund or support one. So DH can go to a weekend group as well as all the weekday ones but I can't, nor can many working mothers, sucks really. The dads also get bacon sandwiches but the weekday groups don't do food for the adults!
I think posters saying it's all about socialising children are wtong, I took my baby to baby group for me to be less isolated, I have a DH who works all weekend so did feel a bit gutted there was nothing for us to do on a weekend.
But saying that a dads only group isn't discrimination, just ask if there is any chance of a mixed group.
Also look into other options folr being with others such as dance class
It's not discrimination against single mothers at all.
In what way is the fact that you aren't able to go because you are at work Mon-Fri, any different from a married / cohabiting mother being unable to go to any groups as they work all week ?
Oh for god's sake! How many dad's do you think would go if women went too? It wold end up the same as all the other sessions as most men feel that they re really for women.

Using two yeasts that have been used to brew tea and beer for centuries, researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have revealed how reproductive barriers might rapidly arise to create species boundaries. Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been used to brew beer in Africa, whereas its close relative S. kombucha is a component of kombucha tea commonly found in health-food stores.
A team of researchers led by Dr. Sarah Zanders of the Basic Sciences Division at Fred Hutch, has uncovered why hybrids between these yeasts (commonly referred to as fission yeasts) are almost completely sterile despite being 99.5 percent identical at the DNA level.

GRAMMY Nominated Singer/Producer/DJ/lifestyle event curator Vikter Duplaix is a musical alchemist weaving global culture, independent thought, fine arts and progressive music into a purely golden lifestyle.
Vikter, a Philadelphia native, began his career early studying music and singing in touring choirs with legendary artists such as Teddy Pendergrass and Luciano Pavarotti and was mentored in the fine art of business by none other than Philadelphia International's own Kenny Gamble. Vikter is a founding member of Philly's Axis Music Group, a music production house shared with Grammy award winner James Poyser.

Vikter's introduction to the "worldwide" music scene as a recording artist came with his first full-length album "International Affairs" released in 2002. Subsequently, Vikter released his "Singles: Prelude to the Future" compilation album followed by his second full-length release "Bold and Beautiful" in 2006, which featured guest appearances and collaborative production work with the likes of Raphael Saadiq and many others. 'Make A Baby', the album's definitive single, was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in 2008 for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. Duplaix will be releasing his third studio album, "LOVEmachine", set for release in the Summer of 2013.
His raw DJ skills were honed on the streets of Philadelphia along with turntable legends DJ's Jazzy Jeff and Cash Money. His DJ jet sets have taken him all over the United States, Europe, Asia, South America and to the stage of 2012′s 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards as the first ever DJ to ever perform on-stage as a member of the house band.
In addition to his talents as a singer/producer/DJ, Vikter is recently co-starred on the first two seasons of Viacom's (VH1/BET) reality television DJ competition series, "Master of the Mix".
