Operation Christmas Child is under way
This holiday season, Hastings residents are working to brighten the lives of millions of needy children around the world. Right now, volunteers are preparing for the collection of gift-filled shoe boxes for the world's largest Christmas project of its kind, Operation Christmas Child, at a new collection site for the Hastings area.
Calvary Christian Church in Hastings is the collection site next week, Monday through Sunday, Nov. 12 to Nov. 18, where shoe boxes filled with both practical items and special treats for kids are dropped off.
This is Calvary Christian Church's first year as a collection site for the worldwide project.
This year Samaritan Church (the umbrella program) expects to surpass more than 100 million gift-filled shoe boxes since it began in 1993.
Suggested gifts are school supplies, small toys, hygiene items and hard candy (no chocolate.)
Church members learned about the Operation Christmas Child in late September when spokesperson Alex Nsengimana talked about it at a worship service and the impact it had on him as a child.
He was living in an orphanage when the shoe boxes were delivered. Inside one of them were a comb and candy cane. They were the best possible presents.
"I remember the orphanage leaders calling all the children into the yard and telling us that they had gifts for us from America," he said. "Inside the box were the comb and candy cane."
He has never forgotten the gift, he said.
He currently lives in Minnesota and attends Crossroads College in Rochester. He is studying to become a pastor. When he is not in school he travels in the region talking about Operation Christmas Child.
More information is available at www.samaritanpurse.

Avoiding compromises in scale-out NAS for technical computing.
Are erasure codes replacing RAID for data protection?
VP of WW Sales & Field Operations
Last month the Panasas team made our way to New Orleans for SC14, this year's edition of the outstanding annual conference and exhibition that draws professionals from around the world to learn what's next in HPC and enterprise computing. Organizers chose "HPC Matters" as the year's theme, and after a week spent talking with the some of the brightest minds in the industry about what high-performance computing is achieving in the real world, I couldn't think of a more apt way to sum up what I saw and heard.
VP of Product Management
Boosting storage performance has been a top priority ever since Panasas was founded more than ten years ago. Today, it's more important than ever. In the IDC report "HPC End-User Study of the Storage and Interconnects Used in Technical Computing" (Sept. 2013), analysts highlighted the increasing focus that storage performance is getting with storage buyers:
Earlier this month the Panasas team trekked to Vancouver, B.C. for the 41st SIGGRAPH conference and exhibition. According to organizers, this year's gathering hosted more than 14,000 attendees from 75 countries – truly an international event and an unparalleled setting to learn more about the opportunities and challenges that are driving graphics development and video, film and video game production today.
Having built a good portion of my career in the storage industry, it's clear to me that storage vendors generally just don't like talking about some topics. Companies aren't shy to brag about storage throughput or IOPS performance, their attractive price per terabyte, or how their product is so easy to use. Panasas is no different here – we are also quick to tell you about the benefits in our ActiveStor platform.
Another week – another big European trade show!
In late June, the Panasas team had the pleasure of participating in ISC'14: the International Supercomputing Conference in Leipzig. The show hosted a solid turnout of professionals from enterprise and research institutions as well as industry media and analysts, all there to take a deep dive into the trends and technologies that are driving this accelerating field. I daresay they were not disappointed!
President and CEO
Along with the official start of summer in California, June marked a significant step forward for our hybrid scale-out NAS product line. This month, we announced ActiveStor 16 with PanFS 6.0 and RAID 6+ data protection. This powerful combination yields a high-density platform and industry-leading reliability at scale while ensuring the manageability and performance that are essential for big data deployments.
Earlier this month, scientists and business leaders from the oil and gas industry came together in Amsterdam at the annual EAGE Conference and Exhibition to discuss trends and technologies in energy exploration. We were pleased to again exhibit and support this event.
There's no question that this is a big announcement: not only have we announced our new flagship platform ActiveStor 16 but we also announced PanFS 6.0, the biggest step forward for our storage operating system in many years.
Our team recently returned from Boston, where Panasas was an exhibitor at the Bio-IT World Conference and Expo put on by Cambridge Healthtech Institute. As always it was a rich, informative event and in many ways, an annual bellwether for the state of research technology in the biosciences. Panasas has participated in Bio-IT World for several years and I think that gives us a unique perspective on the evolution of this growing market.
With more than 98,000 in attendance, this year's National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show certainly lived up to its billing as the world's largest business-to-business media and entertainment event! I had the pleasure of joining my Panasas colleagues for what seemed like a non-stop parade of visitors looking for a better Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution for their creative and post-production workloads, along with current Panasas customers hoping for their first look at our new PanFS 5.5 operating system.

Similar to the Counter TAC boot knife, here is a folding version of the same blade style. The handles of the Counter Point are injection molded from Grivory and have steel liners to enhance their strength and rigidity. They offer an unusually secure grip for their diminutive size. They're carefully sculptured and contoured with strategically placed holes to reduce weight, and they sport a unique thumb rest built into the butt, affording excellent purchase and a wide variety of grip options.
While no folding knife can ever hope to compete with a fixed blade boot knife in overall strength, the Counter Point folders come close. Designed to withstand horrendous stress and strain, it shrugs off impact from any angle without fail and offers a huge margin of safety for your precious fingers.
To enable your Counter Point to be swiftly drawn and ready for action it has a fully ambidextrous pocket clip and thumb stud. Clipped to a boot top, pocket or waistband, the Counter Point is just about invisible and so light it truly can be carried 24-7.

Tracy Lawrence, 'L.A. Dirt': Singer Reveals Plot Twist to First Movie
Tracy Lawrence recently wrapped his part in the movie "L.A. Dirt," his first big-screen acting gig. The film was shot in and around Mobile, Ala., and is the story of a young man's dream of becoming a champion dirt track racer. The country star plays the role of Uncle Charlie to the young racing enthusiast, Ty Hargrove (played by Michael Roark).
"The process was pretty much like I expected," Tracy tells The Boot. "The whole experience was very similar to shooting music videos. I hope to get a chance act in more movies in the future. I believe I will get better with more I do."
The movie's main character, Ty, is an 18-year old aspiring racer who is in major competition with local rich boy (and reigning champion) Snake Turner. Ty knows his dream takes money and support, but he doesn't have much of either. Still, he's determined to win the championship … and maybe Snake's girlfriend, too. He works for Uncle Charlie's telephone pole plant during the week, and finally convinces his uncle to finance the car.
Tracy's character acts as a mentor to Ty, whose father is alcoholic and mother is not around. But … spoiler alert! "To create more drama, my character dies fairly early in the film," Tracy reveals. "I wanted to put on a beard and go to my funeral, but they wouldn't let me."
Uncle Charlie's unexpected death leaves Ty without a sponsor or a father figure in his life. But he pulls it together and gives the local championship his best shot. The movie takes the audience through a range of emotions and provides moments of laughter, tears and excitement as Ty does everything he can to honor Uncle Charlie's belief in him.
The screenplay was penned by Watt Key, an award-winning writer who also wrote the screenplay for the 2011 movie, "Alabama Moon." The project is being backed by a local businessman, Shawn Esfahani, and filmmaker Tom Stout, who wanted to fund a family movie that would show Alabama in a positive light.
There is no word yet on when the film will hit theaters.

With the Puerto Rican Culture, I love the music, the food, the vibrant colors. As far as the colors go, you go into an older Puerto Rican persons house and you'll see all these colors. Yellow, pinks, baby blue. My apartment is totally like that.
I also like the closeness of some families. It's like that village mentality. My aunt Zaida could come give me a talking to if she hears something I've supposedly done and I would be expected to give an explanation. I guess while It's one of the thing I like it also can be seen as one of the things I hate. Everyone knows your busniess and feels they have a right to vote on your life. Another thing I hate is the machismo, A woman could have 10x the amount of responsibility her husband does at work and yet at home she is expected to treat him like a king. There is also the mentality of daughters needing to learn how to cook, clean and take care of a family. While the son gets to go out and learn how to be a man. If that meant go out and work, it would be fine. But it means he is free to go and hang out with his friends while his sister has to wash his clothes and cook his dinner. I've heard someone I know say it. El hombre es de la calle, la mujer de la casa. Meaning the man is of the streets, while the woman is of the house. Which I think is total B.S.
Obviously not all Puerto Ricans are the same but these are just things that bug me.

text: Hey guys I just put my choate 5 round extension on my 870. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. First impressions are that the tube is solidly constructed and also has a nice sturdy barrel clamp that came with it. I didn't trim the spring any, it was about 16 inches longer than the total tube length and I decided to just shove it all in there. I don't have any ammo on me right now to test the load capacity to make sure I can get 10 rounds underneath. Anyone else have one of these? I'm a little weary of the reliability of firearms after modification and just wanted to see if anyone has had any problems with these mag tube extensions. Thanks for any info.

Politics of Wednesday, 28 May 2014
Source: Al-Hajj
-To save party from further rancor
- Confirms The aL-hAJJ's story
A superstar in the get Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo endorsed at-all-cost as flag bearer for the fourth time, Dr Amoako Tuffuor has confirmed The aL-haJJ's Thursday, May 8, 2014 publication which among other things revealed that the serial flag bearer contender was in dire need of an early congress to save his fast fading and dipping popularity.
Though loyalists of the twice defeated flag bearer and even Nana Akufo-Addo himself, in their usual element came out to rubbish the publication, Dr Amoako Tuffuor, who begun announcing the twice defeated presidential candidate's fourth flag bearer bid long before it was made public, could not hide the havoc a delayed congress is causing his candidate when he told an Accra radio station, Citi Fm that early congress was essential.
While counseling the National Executive Committee of the NPP to consider convening an early congress to put a break on the ongoing infighting among supporters of the potential flag bearer aspirants, the former disgraced but 'redeemed' national coordinator for the School Feeding Program voiced what were yet the clearest sentiments in the Akufo-Addo camp.
Speaking on Citi Fm's Eyewitness News last week, the Nana Akufo-Addo ardent unrepentant lieutenant fervently admitted they (nana's camp) prefer early congress when he stated "It helps, it may not be totally the solution but it is definitely a step in the right direction that an early congress will cut down on animosities and any form of attacks on potential candidates."
Confirming The al-hAJJ's publication, Dr Tuffuor emphasized the need for the current National Executives of the NPP to hold congress early beyond the constitutional requirement as this he said, will help address the problems of infighting which is characteristic of NPP flag bearer contests.
In a front page story headlined "Akufo-Addo Demands Early Congress" in the Thursday, May 8, 2014 edition of The al-hAJJ, the paper reported that "the Akyem Septuagenarian was hiding behind proxies to exert pressure on the new National Executives to convene early congress to elect flag bearer for the 2016 presidential polls…
A delay in holding the congress this paper gathered is gradually and deeply dipping the hitherto popularity of the former Abuakwa South MP within the NPP and if steps are not taken to exert pressure on NEC to organize the congress as early as possible, Nana Akufo-Addo's fourth flag bearer bid could elude him".
The paper went further to state that "Reports are that Nana Akufo-Addo's fiercest rival, Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten, who is suspected to have strong ties with the new National Executives, is making serious in roads into Nana Akufo-Addo's previously ironclad support base and is likely to snatch the 'leadership' of the opposition party from him".
Feeling this pinch, Dr Amoako Tuffuor, whose Akufo-Addo's colleague loyalists have openly denied the story and have even advised Ghanaians not to take the paper serious, jumped out of his rat hole and now piling pressure on the executives to organize an early congress.
Meanwhile, the National Executive Committee of the party at a recent meeting has landed on June 6 for opening of nominations for the flag bearer contest subject to approval by the NPP's yet-to-be reconstituted National Council.

Gavin had a girlfriend, they've been together for one year. She seemed like such a great girl. She is one year older (almost 17 to his almost 16), they are in the band together, are "nerds" together, just really cute.
Gavin also has one really good friend, Billy. They've been pretty much best friends since 7th grade, he is also in the band.
Well, apparently Billy and Melissa started hooking up about 4 weeks ago.
Gavin is crushed. And honestly, not all about Melissa not being his girlfriend anymore, more about the betrayal of them both. And mostly about losing his best (and pretty much only) friend.
I just don't know how to make it better. I mean, I told him that the break-up of a relationship is something that pretty much every teenager is going through, and he gets that. In a way, he wants to stay friends with her. But he is so pissed at Billy. And he is now holed up in his room mostly because he has nobody else to talk to. He is very close to Corina and they do talk a lot, but she lives in NC now with her BF, which makes it harder for them. I told him I would pay for a plane ticket to go visit her in NC, but he says he needs space and time and solitude.
What can I tell him? I told him that he will make new friends, but he is telling me that most of the kids his age (or older) are very much into drugs, alcohol and parties, which is so much not him (thankfully!).
He misses his best friends but at this point is just so pissed off at them.
Anything I can do? Advise please!!!

partial (C++ Component Extensions)
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
partial keyword enables different parts of the same ref class to be authored independently and in different files.
(This language feature applies only to the Windows Runtime.)
For a ref class that has two partial definitions, the
partial keyword is applied to the first occurrence of the definition, and this is typically done by auto-generated code, so that a human coder doesn't use the keyword very often. For all subsequent partial definitions of the class, omit the
partial modifier from the class-key keyword and class identifier. When the compiler encounters a previously defined ref class and class identifier but no
partial keyword, it internally combines all of the parts of the ref class definition into one definition.
partial class-key identifier { /* The first part of the partial class definition. This is typically auto-generated*/ } // ... class-keyidentifier { /* The subsequent part(s) of the class definition. The same identifier is specified, but the "partial" keyword is omitted. */ }
A keyword that declares a class or struct that is supported by the Windows Runtime. Either
ref class,
value class,
ref struct, or
value struct.
The name of the defined type.
A partial class supports scenarios where you modify one part of a class definition in one file, and automatic code-generating software—for example, the XAML designer—modifies code in the same class in another file. By using a partial class, you can prevent the automatic code generator from overwriting your code. In a Visual Studio project, the
partial modifier is applied automatically to the generated file.
Contents: With two exceptions, a partial class definition can contain anything that the full class definition could contain if the
partial keyword was omitted. However, you can't specify class accessibility (for example,
public partial class X {…};), or a
Access specifiers used in a partial class definition for identifier do not affect the default accessibility in a subsequent partial or full class definition for identifier. Inline definitions of static data members are allowed.
Declaration: A partial definition of a class identifier only introduces the name identifier, but identifier cannot be used in a way that requires a class definition. The name identifier can't be used to know the size of identifier, or to use a base or member of identifier until after the compiler encounters the full definition of identifier.
Number and ordering: There can be zero or more partial class definitions for identifier. Every partial class definition of identifier must lexically precede the one full definition of identifier (if there is a full definition; otherwise, the class can't be used except as if forward-declared) but need not precede forward declarations of identifier. All class-keys must match.
Full definition: At the point of the full definition of the class identifier, the behavior is the same as if the definition of identifier had declared all base classes, members, etc. in the order in which they were encountered and defined in the partial classes.
Templates: A partial class cannot be a template.
Generics: A partial class can be a generic if the full definition could be generic. But every partial and full class must have exactly the same generic parameters, including formal parameter names.
For more information about how to use the
partial keyword, see Partial Classes (C++/CX).
Compiler option: /ZW

Decision makers
- The Hon Peter Garrett MPCommonwealth Minister for School Education
Include LGBTI issues, sexual health & HIV in the national HPE curriculum
The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) released a draft national Health & Physical Education (HPE) curriculum in December 2012. It is now being considered in detail by the Commonwealth Minister for School Education, the Hon Peter Garrett MP, and his state and territory counterparts.
The draft curriculum does not even include the terms lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex (LGBTI). Even though it acknowledges that "same sex attracted and gender diverse" students exist in all schools, it does not guarantee that each and every classroom will be inclusive of LGBTI students and their health and physical education needs. And it cannot, as it claims, "ensure teaching is inclusive and relevant to the lived experiences" of LGBTI students, if the document itself cannot even name them.
The draft curriculum only includes one line on detailed sexual health education, and it reads "investigating practices that support reproductive health and wellbeing". This excludes same-sex sexual activity, ignoring many of the sexual health issues of LGBTI students (indeed, it excludes many heterosexual sexual activities as well), and does not guarantee that all students will learn what they need to prevent STI transmission.
Finally, the draft curriculum does not even include a single reference to HIV. While new treatments mean that the health outlooks of people living with HIV have significantly improved, an HIV diagnosis remains a serious thing. It is negligent for a national HPE curriculum to omit all mentions of HIV, therefore excluding important HIV prevention messages.
Please support this petition, to the Commonwealth School Education Minister and State and Territory Education Ministers, to help ensure the national Health and Physical Education curriculum includes, and caters for, the needs of LGBTI students in every classroom across Australia.
- Commonwealth Minister for School Education
The Hon Peter Garrett MP
The national Health & Physical Education curriculum should be inclusive of, and provide for the needs of, all students, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) students. It should include comprehensive sexual health education, covering more than just reproduction, and should explicitly refer to HIV.

Attentive Beatles fans who purchased Let It Be when it came out in May 1970 noticed something very different about the album version of the title track: The guitar solo was markedly changed from what they'd heard on the "Let It Be" single released two months earlier.
The reason was down to the producers: the 45-rpm version was produced by George Martin; the album version was produced by Phil Spector. The track began life at Apple Studios on January 31, 1969, the last day of the Get Back sessions.
It originally featured McCartney on piano and lead vocals, Harrison playing his Stratocaster through his Leslie cabinet, Lennon on Fender Bass VI, Billy Preston on organ and Ringo on drums. Lennon and Harrison provided backing vocals. On April 30, Harrison wiped his Stratocaster part, recording over it using his rosewood Telecaster, also played through his Leslie.
Nothing more was done with the track until January 4, 1970. With Let It Be finally slated for release, McCartney, Harrison and Starr began to select tracks and fix numerous problems with the performances. On this day, George Martin had McCartney replace Lennon's clumsy bass work with a new bass track. He also added new harmony vocals from Harrison and McCartney, brass, cellos, additional drums and percussion, and a new and cutting guitar solo from Harrison, played on his Les Paul, nicknamed Lucy.
This new solo and the solo from April 30, 1969, existed side by side on the eight-track master tape. When Martin mixed the song for the single, he favored the April 30 solo (although the original Strat solo from January 31, while erased on April 30, can be heard buried in the mix, perhaps from having leaked onto the track of another instrument).
Martin also placed the cello and brass overdubs lower in his mix. His version of the song clocked in at 3:52. Phil Spector did precisely the opposite for the album version, raising the cello and brass in his mix and placing Harrison's Les Paul solo from January 4, 1970, in the spotlight. (The original Strat solo can again be heard, as on the Martin mix.) Spector also extended the song's length by splicing in a third chorus of the "Let it be, let it be ... " refrain, bringing his version of the song to 4:03.

Karlsruhe, Germany, 30 January 2012 – Altium, developer of next-generation electronics design software and services, announces new devices and updates to the board-level components from Altera's Stratix® IV FPGA and MAX® V CPLD device families available in its online content delivery ecosystem, Altium. The release coincides with the inclusion of Altera Stratix IV FPGA and MAX V CPLD device support in the latest update for Altium Designer <http://products.live.altium.com/> 10, Altium's unified electronics design system.
Developed in collaboration with Altera, the updated collection of FPGA and CPLD components add to the extensive range of Altera design content already available through AltiumLive. The new components are available through the AltiumLive portal from within Altium Designer, providing designers with access to current, high quality board-level components during the design process.
Altium Designer <http://products.live.altium.com/> includes comprehensive software support for the newly updated Altera devices, allowing their full integration into the programmable device design part of the electronics design flow. This provides the unique design conditions for working with a specific programmable device, such as pin configurations and I/O type, live communication protocols, synthesis and PCB pin swapping data, making the Altera devices ready for easy, rapid deployment in Altium Designer projects.
The collaborative relationship between Altera and Altium is another significant step in the expansion of Altium's partnership program, which aims to forge collaborative relationships with a broad group of electronic component manufacturers and distributors.
The strategic partnerships ultimately allow Altium to deliver quality online content and services directly to Altium Designer users. Along with device manufacturers such as Altera, Altium has also established relationships with parts suppliers and vendors such as Farnell, Digi-Key and Newark. This allows board-level components to include real-time supply-chain information, such as vendor choice, pricing and availability.
"Collaboration between Altium and parts manufacturers helps us produce high-integrity design IP for our customers," said Rowland Washington, Content Development Manager for Altium. "We are pleased to be working with Altera to develop an ever increasing range of third party libraries, templates, reference designs and other ready-to-use design content."
This latest update to the Altera board-level component content available through AltiumLive includes a full update of the Stratix IV high-performance FPGA family and the addition of the MAX V low power CPLD range – Altium Designer 10 now provides design software support for these devices. The update adds to the already substantial collection of Altera programmable devices available from AltiumLive's board-level component vault, which includes Altera's broad portfolio of high-end, low-cost and mid-range FPGA families and CPLDs, including Stratix FPGAs, Cyclone® FPGAs, Arria® FPGAs, and MAX CPLDs.
"Working with Altium to deliver online design content will bring high quality Altera component models directly to the desktop of designers using Altium Designer," said Patrick Dorsey, senior director of component product marketing at Altera Corporation. "This makes it faster and easier for customers to use Altera devices in their designs using up-to-date, quality design resources."
The new and existing Altera components are available online through AltiumLive's board-level component vault, one of Altium's managed component repositories of ready-to-use design elements accessible through the AltiumLive portal. Designers can directly access the components and linked supplier information from within Altium Designer when using a subscription-enabled license, or by browsing to the AltiumLive content store <http://contentstore.live.altium.com/> via the web. Designers installing the latest update for Altium Designer 10 will have access to complete design-time software support for the new Altera devices.
More information on the board-level components and how they are accessed in Altium Designer is available in AltiumLive <http://live.altium.com/> and in the related blogs <http://blog.live.altium.com/> .
Altera components are available from the company's distributors, sales representatives and sales offices worldwide. For more information, go to <http://www.altera.com/>.

I like the first part, but not the second. To name just one problem, it will go berserk after OID wraparound. The "minimum startup OID" approach would be ugly even if it weren't fundamentally broken.

TEL AVIV (Jul. 4)
A spokesman for the Jewish Defense League told a press conference here yesterday that the militant organization which had its origins in racially tense neighborhoods of New York three years ago, will soon open headquarters in Israel. According to Neil Rothenberg, a 20-year-old New Yorker who presented himself as the "international coordinator of the JDL youth movement," its functions will be entirely educational. Rothenberg denied reports that JDL was shifting its headquarters to Israel to escape harassment by American authorities. He claimed rather that the aim is to form a headquarters in "the international center of the Jewish nation–Israel" to help by educational means to "bridge the gap between various groups." Rothenberg described the JDL's principles as "love of Israel" and "the unity of Israel." The Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned that one of the first activities planned by the JDL in Israel is a demonstration to be held in Jerusalem within the next two weeks to pressure the Israel Government to demand the extradition of Abraham Hershkowitz. Hershkowitz, a JDL member was convicted of passport fraud in New York and sentenced to five years imprisonment.
The JDL has already caused Israeli authorities a headache. U.S. Embassy security men last week seized the American passport of Christina Canziani, a non-Jewish Italian girl who came to Israel eight months ago with her American Jewish boyfriend, a JDL member. The American agents claim her passport was forged which Miss Canziani freely admits. She is believed to be wanted by the American police on suspicion of using explosives and participating in the harassment of Soviet diplomats, a favorite JDL tactic. The legal issue raised here is whether U.S. agents can confiscate a passport on foreign territory. The U.S. Embassy has made no official comment but American sources here observed that the passport was U.S. property and therefore could be confiscated. The Israeli Foreign Ministry may intervene. A National Religious Party MK, Yehuda Ben Meir, demanded to know who permitted U.S. agents to "harass" a woman in Israel because of her connection with the JDL.
Miss Canziani refused to say who gave her a forged passport. She claims she wants to convert to Judaism and is living with an Orthodox group in Hebron. Her boyfriend, who was not identified, is facing charges here of allegedly extorting money from fellow students at Bar Han University.

Season One of the collaborative project between IMG College and WVU and its Mountaineer Sports Network is in the books. Seems it was a success in the presence of documented obstacles, too.
"Off the charts," is what one executive said to describe the efforts to quickly organize, effectively operate and beat sales projections by up to 25 percent.
"Obviously the biggest challenge for us operationally was time," Potter said. It was a big concern of ours, and it was certainly something that we voiced internally.
"But in the end, we came down with the attitude that we would rather be working with West Virginia University in an extremely challenging situation than not working with West Virginia University at all."

Have you ever needed a digital camera tripod for taking on holiday or carrying around with you on your day trips. Well this quality tripod from Sony is all I needed, and its all you will need to. You must be aware before buying though this is a very, very tiny tripod and is made for people taking on the travels with them. So if you need a simple tripod setup for your holidays this is the one for you. It's so small it could even fit in the pocket of you jeans or jacket.
Like all Sony products, you can expect quality, and you will be more than satisfied with the design and materials used to make this tripod. It is finished in a metal alloy finish and there's so many moving parts you will sure be able to position you camera in any angle you require. The pouch in partically is made from a quality material which im not the name but I think its nylon and is use to carry or store your tripod. You will also receive a nifty cloth you can clean or tripod with but I use it to clean my digital camera instead.
I brought this tripod for my product photography. Initially I thought maybe the tripod was to small when it arrived but remember the legs extend and they stay in place when fully extracted. I highly recommend you screw on your digital camera before setting up the tripod so you can be assured it's on there securely. Once the camera is on, open up the legs and find a flat suitable surface for the tripod. The tripod allows you to point the camera down and tighten it once you've found your position. Always hold the tripod until you found your position incase the camera falls.
I absolutely love this tripod and would recommend it to anyone looking for a compact and stylish tripod for there photography and there travels. Please note however, although the image shows dark gray pouch, it's actaully a lighter gray.
