Dr. Paul Kengor
Professor of Political Science at Grove City College
Paul Kengor is professor of political science at Grove City College, where he is also executive director of the college's think-tank, the Center for Vision & Values. He is also a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is often quoted in major publications, from the Los Angeles Times to the Chronicle of Higher Education to the Washington Post, plus foreign publications ranging from the Irish Times to Pravda. His articles have appeared in numerous publications from across the ideological spectrum, from the New York Times to USA Today to the Wall Street Journal, and in religious publications ranging from Christianity Today to the National Catholic Register to Jewish World Review. Dr. Kengor has published major articles in top refereed, scholarly-academic journals, such as Political Science Quarterly and Presidential Studies Quarterly.
In 2012, he will be releasing two major books. One is the first and only profile of Frank Marshall Davis, mentor to Barack Obama, and a pro-Soviet member of Communist Party USA (card no. 47544), based on declassified FBI files and Soviet and Communist Party USA archives. The second book, for which he is co-editor, is titled, Reagan in a World Transformed, 1989-2012, and will be published by Harvard University Press.
Paul Kengor's most recent book is Dupes: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century (ISI Books, 2010). Based on extensive Soviet archival research, particularly the Comintern Archives on Communist Party USA, the book examines the exploitation of American liberals/progressives by communists beginning in the early 20th century. Among Kengor's recent books is a major work on Ronald Reagan's role in undermining the Soviet Union, titled, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism (HarperPerennial), which has been translated into several languages. His other books include The Judge: William P. Clark, Ronald Reagan's Top Hand (Ignatius) and the best-seller God and Ronald Reagan (HarperCollins), among several others.
The film rights for Kengor's two books, The Crusader and God and Ronald Reagan, were purchased by MJM Group. The books are the basis for a major Hollywood "bio-pic" on the life and presidency of Ronald Reagan, titled, Reagan: The Movie, scheduled for release in late 2012.
Kengor has appeared on most major television networks and hundreds of radio talk-shows. He does a regular commentary for Moody Broadcasting, American Radio Journal, and EWTN Radio.
Kengor is a frequent public speaker, with venues that include the Ronald Reagan Library, the National Press Club, the Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute, the Gerald R. Ford Library, the University of Virginia's Miller Center, the National Presbyterian Church, and numerous colleges, ranging from the University of Virginia to the College of William & Mary.
Kengor has served on the editorial board of Presidential Studies Quarterly, the flagship academic publication on the presidency. He is nationally known for his work on the American presidency. In 2009, he was one of a select group of presidential scholars to participate in C-SPAN's highly regarded ranking of American presidents, a follow up to C-SPAN's popular 2000 survey.
Kengor received his doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs and his master's degree from American University's School of International Service. He also holds an honorary doctorate from Franciscan University (Steubenville, Ohio). He and his wife, Susan, have six children.

Steven Crowder
Fox News Contributor, Comedian, and Speaker
As "FoxNews' brightest, funniest young Conservative mind," Steven Crowder is a mainstay in the worlds of television, comedy and writing. Before being brought in as one of FoxNews' youngest contributors ever, Steven began his career in entertainment with acting and stand up comedy.
Beginning as a mere teenager, Steven performed in the major festivals and winning national talent competitions (including one on Myspace, remember that site?) all before he was old enough to legally consume a beer. Unsatisfied, Steven decided to take his brand of take-no-prisoners, politically incorrect, comedy-club-favorite humor… to the Internet. Quickly racking up tens of millions of views, Crowder was seen as somewhat of a conundrum. His irreverent, hilarious yet distinctly Conservative videos surprisingly went viral, resulting in him being thrust into the national spotlight of cable news and radio. You name the show, Crowder's done it.
While still active in both television/film and comedy, Crowder is now most famously known as a Conservative lightening rod. As an entertainer, activist and commentator, Crowder's trademark has become that of bravely entering the belly of the liberalism beast… without backing down. Be it television, the stage or the Internet, wherever Crowder goes, he continues to leave enlightenment, entertainment and controversy in his wake. Enjoy.

Timeliness and Accuracy
Kay Golan
Former Director of Media Relations
Office of Communication
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The first thing you must focus on is releasing information in a very timely way. Timeliness and accuracy will always be in a dynamic tension between each other. The media will be asking you the questions that you are asking yourselves internally at the same time. Sometimes they'll even ask them before you've begun to ask them. So there is a tendency to think, "Oh, we're not quite ready to release that," but it's absolutely critical that you release what you know and that you put something out at minimum on a daily basis and depending on the level of the crisis it could be two, three times a day. It's also important that you look for new information that can be released. If you don't have new case numbers or new, what you would consider from a public health standpoint, really critical information to the public then release some process information, something about how you're going about doing your job.

Re: Kos extends an olive branch to the PUMAs
We never heard of this guy Barack Obama until 2004. Less than three years before taking the presidency, he was in the Illinois state senate, a swamp of scammers, backhanders, and party machine tools - not a stellar launch pad for the White House. And then, one day, state Sen. Barack Obama was visited by his fairy godmother. Her name is Penny Pritzker.
Yeah, some bloggers knew this and other damning things; they were drummed out of sites like Daily kIos when they tried to raise the alarm. I was on the fence until early 2008 when the fact that many progressives were hell bent on Obama's ascendency and would trash anyone who raised these issues, soured me on the lot. One such ostracized blogger was Lambert of Corrente who lost his spot at DailyKos for raising these questions about candidate Obama.

Summary of The Complete Novels Summary of The Complete Novels Reviews for The Complete Novels An Excerpt from The Complete Novels
Now in Penguin Classicsa treasure trove of Jane Austens novels
Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Here in one volume are her seven great novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Lady Susan. Through her vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle, Austen vividly portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Each of the novels is a love story and a story about marriagemarriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not romances; ironic, comic, and wise, they are masterly evocations of the society Jane Austen observed. This beautiful volume covers the literary career of one of Englands finest prose stylists of any century.
These modern editions are to be strongly recommended.
Brian Southam, The Jane Austen Society

I kind of have a love/hate relationship with magazines. I love the images and the visual inspiration but I'm usually lucky to get 1 idea out of each issue.
I recently came across this AMAZING online magazine specifically for kids packed with gorgeous photos, amazing crafts and projects that the boys can do with little help.
It's called Action Pack
They allow you to download a few freebies (I love the fish trap) and issue 4 - the current issue - has lots of outdoor/nature projects. You should definitely check it out if your boys are like mine and LOVE projects and DIY activities

DAYTONA BEACH — Reacting to understandable red flags about driver safety, NASCAR is expected to require baseline concussion tests in time for the 2014 season.
It's a no-brainer — no pun intended — in a sport where things get very bumpy and the importance of keeping drivers healthy and running at full speed is critical.
The first steps will start soon when drivers will be urged to go in for testing before the start of the season, which kicks off Sunday with the Daytona 500.
"We've encouraged them all to get that, with the emphasis that in 2014 that almost likely will be mandated for all of them," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's senior vice president of racing operations . "'We're in the process of doing that right now. We're educating them on what it is, how it works, and we'll come back with that for the 2014 preseason."
The ImPACT test is fairly standard in many pro leagues, including the NFL. It involves a computer-based series of quick quizzes involving words, colors and pictures. Scores are determined by how quickly and accurately questions are answered.
The discussion for improving concussion protocols amped up last season after Dale Earnhardt Jr. suffered a concussion while crashing during a tire test at Kansas on Aug. 29 and then basically tried to shake it off and continue driving. He later took another hit in Talladega as part of a 25-car pileup on the last restart, prompting him to seek medical consultation.
Doctors then shut him down for the next two races.
"Yeah, it makes perfect sense to make it mandatory," Earnhardt said during Media Day at Daytona International Speedway. "I think it was nice of them to look into ways they could protect us from ourselves really. The test is really simple and it's pretty straightforward. You sit at a computer for about 30 minutes answering a series of questions. It tests short-term and long-term memory, a lot of different variables, a lot of different things of the mechanics of the brain, what the brain does.
"It sort of tests how competent you are through a series of different things. It's really, really hard, a hard test. Even if you don't have a concussion, taking the test can be difficult. But you take the test to get a baseline because everybody is different."
Sure enough, old-school drivers such as Mark Martin aren't exactly embracing the new technology.
"Well, let's say I tripped on a banana peel and broke my thumb," he said. "If I want to drive a race car with a broken thumb, I want to drive a race car. There's no reason why I shouldn't be able to.
"Where do you draw the line on things? We're talking about a head injury — that's different from another physical thing, like you know. That's all I'm saying. I can't help that. I'm old-school. It's just what it is. I don't know that I've ever had a concussion. I've never been knocked out."
Unfortunately for Martin, resistance is futile. And that's a good thing for the safety of the sport.

Danica in perspective
A few fun facts to ponder as we prepare for the Daytona 500 ... aka the Danica 500.
Danica Patrick became NASCAR's first female Cup pole winner since the organization's origins in 1949, a span of 2,355 races.
The smart money is not on Danica to win the Daytona 500: The Las Vegas Hotel's Super Book says that 20 other drivers in the 43-car field have better odds of winning the race than Patrick, who rolls in with 40-1 odds.
Patrick will be making her first full-time run in the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit after making 10 starts in Sprint Cup events a year ago. She struggled quite a bit, averaging a 28th-place finish without any Top 10s.
Patrick's presence at Daytona isn't unprecedented for a woman. The best start for a woman in the Daytona 500 was in 1980 when Janet Guthrie started 18th and finished 11th.
Patrick raced in the Daytona 500 last year and finished 38th after her car was wrecked during a crash on the second-lap.
The last driver to win the Daytona 500 from the pole position was Dale Jarrett in 2000. Overall, only nine drivers have won the race from the pole in the 54-year history of the race.
QUOTABLE: "She comes into this with racing background, with a tremendous amount of exposure, momentum, just popularity that we've never seen before, especially from a female driver.
"For her to then follow that up or start the season off with a pole, it's huge. It's big. Surprised you're even talking to me right now, right? I'm glad I didn't win the pole. We would have messed that story all up." — Jeff Gordon, who will start second, on the outside pole position on Sunday.
NASCAR goes bi-lingual
Reflecting the ever-shifting demographics of NASCAR (see Danica), Homestead-Miami Speedway has launched @HMSEspanol — the speedway's Spanish-language Twitter handle. The new account will focus on information leading up to Ford Championship Weekend (Nov. 15-17).
"Launching our Spanish-language Twitter account is a natural step as we continue to build meaningful relationships within the Hispanic community," track president Matthew Becherer said in a statement. "Twitter is a fantastic way to engage our fans and share information about Ford Championship Weekend and the more than 280 events we host annually."
Car of Yesterday
Here's a last word on the Car of Tomorrow, labeled a clunker from its first race when Kyle Busch made it to victory lane in 2007: "I think [NASCAR leader Brian] France finally admitted that there were some mistakes made in the design process of bringing that car to the race track. It makes me feel a little bit better. I was vocal about it just because it was not a race car. It was not what we needed to go to the race track with and race with. Whether that was interpreted wrong from the beginning or throughout time, it's now evolved into this Gen-6 race car, which I think looks amazing."

Nikon V1 comparison shots added to dpreview database
We've just posted studio test samples from the Nikon V1 - the Japanese manufacturer's enthusiast-targeted small sensor mirrorless camera which is built around what the company is calling a 'CX' format 10MP CMOS sensor. In the process of working on the forthcoming in-depth review of the V1, we have shot our standard studio test scene. To allow easy comparison with its peers, we have now added these shots - both out of camera JPEGs and processed RAW files (with Adobe ACR 6.6 Beta) - to our comparison tool, found in our existing reviews. The V1 can now be selected from the pull-down list within any review or in our standalone comparison tool.

Amazing! much better than JPEG previews seen before. Nikon won the race. ISO 3200 usable. And as always you meet the choice - good quality studio shot or perfect responce for great reportage photo. While not so perfect in professional low ISO studio work, is seems good for ISO 3200 reportage shots.
I want it.
Looks about 1 stop better than Olympus' offerings even though it has a smaller image sensor. Well done Nikon!
...are u serious ??? ;)
well it´s obvious that nikon aims this camera on people with a viewing handicap....
I always wondered what market Nikon were aiming for with this camera. Now I know.
maybe he was congratulating Nikon for a DIFFERENT Camera.. :)
These studio shots usually all look about the same to me, but this little Nikon looks surprisingly good at iso 1600 (raw). The thing they did, somehow, compared to the competition, if you check shadow areas and the paperclips, is keep really clean blacks, good contrast. It even looks better than the 5n in those areas. Other cameras beat it in resolution, it appears (no surprise).
Notice that the Nokon images are softer i.e. less detail indicating some processing of the RAW image - i.e. the RAW is not really RAW.
One thing that I forgot to add in my previous posting is how great this little camera would be telephoto lens use. With Nikon's great lens know how and the smaller sensor I can see them coming out with some amazingly compact yet high quality long lenses!
The V1 looks a lot better than I expected but with the price where it is....the Sony NEX-5n with the OLED viewfinder is only a little more!....I don't think I'd actually buy the V1 just yet. It would be a lot of fun to play around with however!
some comparison:
Pentax for reference only
Oly kept from default comparison
NEX-C5N with std lens is in the same price range as J1.
Nikon i smooth, but it looks like there should be some texture to the left of the head. Could it be so that asking for clean high iso images will give you washed out high iso images?
well you have to judge noise against smearing.
it´s the same problem you see with all the small sensor P&S cameras.
and those who say the V1 has good high iso noise seem to be happy with the smearing of details. ;)
What smearing? At ISO 1600 look at the fur, the feather or the green and purple woven cloth. In fact you'll see that it's the 2 m43 cameras that have smearing and the V1 shows good detail.
If you're gonna slam the V1, at least be sure about what you are seeing.
I just compared to other mirrorless cameras at high ISO.
The Nikon V1 shots seem to be overexposed compared to other cameras.
This gives the Nikon V1 an advantage, because there is less noise in brighter areas with all digital cameras, and if you overexpose, there are more bright areas in the picture.
Sometimes a brighter image in these tests means the camera's actual ISO is a bit higher than the reported ISO. If that's the case, lowering the V1 exposure to match would actually make it look better.
The V1 holds up very well against the best of the 4/3s. This is quite remarkable.
Nikon acted very wisely to limit the sensor to "just" 10 MP and resist the megapixel craze.
I wish I could say the same about Sony and the NEX7...
Totally agreed. I am rather surprised by how well the ISO 3200 RAW images hold up against the m43.
The new Sony 24 MP APS-C sensor, on the other hand, is a dud... at least in the hands of Sony. It'll probably perform better in the Nikon D400. ;)
The photosites on the Sony NEX-7 sensor are 30% bigger in area than the Nikon 1 series. But then when did facts overcome received wisdom? The Nikon 1 series is not primarily aimed at still photography.
It doesn't hold up well if you put in the G3 or GH2, especially raw. It doesn't come close if you take the raw from either of those and either downsample to 10mpix size or upsample the V1 to G3 or GH2 size. If the size/weight of the Nikons were an advantage, I'd concede the image quality hit. Since there really is none with the V1, what is the point?
the far left of the frame seems to perform very badly in terms of resolution / sharpness.
jupp noticed that too.
for example the sign on the top of the bottle looks very ugly.
Shooting raw the V1 does markedly better than I anticipated. Frankly though, the way the camera looks on the exterior handling wise raises serious doubts about it's ability to please any enthusiasts.
Bet another model is coming soon that will attempt to do so. I'd bet lots of clams on that.
Absolutely. Just like the Sony NEX-7. I actually would prefer Fujifilm's retro-design for X-10/X-100.
It is one stop better than the G11. Not bad, but it needs to be smaller and closer to $500.
Too bad all these technical excellence mumbo jumbo inside this pill box won't be appreciated by moms and dads, grandpas and tourists who just wants a nice looking well designed camera body... and choosing between an array of well built goodies, will give this poor V1 clunker a pass in the store shelves.
Nikon doesn't deserve this much criticism when the V1 appears to produce great IQ. I'm not a Nikon groupie. I have no horse in this race. I used to own a Nikon DSLR system, but I've sold it all and intend on sticking exclusively with my Fuji X100 for now. In fact, I am more likely to stick with Fuji when/if they release their own ILC.
From what I can see, Nikon is NOT behind Panny and Olympus in image quality, particularly when you go to ISO 1600 and beyond. In the comparison, zoom in on the threads to the left of Mickey Mouse. Look at the RAW files at ISO 1600 (and beyond) of the Nikon V1, Oly E-PL3, Panasonic GF3, and Sony C3. The micro-4/3 sensors are rubbish. Absolute junk. Nikon has done a fantastic job with the sensor, especially considering its size.
And yes, the V1 isn't much smaller than the micro-4/3 cameras, or the Sony NEX cameras. However, the lenses are, and they will be the difference-maker when it comes to overall size.
Using the GF3 as a comparison point is a joke. Use the G3 or GH2 and you'll see a marked difference. Your rubbish comment is rubbish and the weight and size differences are basically nonexistant.
Yes, the V1 has better quality than the prosumer fixed lens bridge cameras, but it is either as big and heavy or heavier than m43 models and they have a much more varied and mature lens offering.
I was worried with m43 performance! at low iso, only gh-2 have a slightly advantage at pixel level in chroma noise... but in luminance noise the v1 is actually a little better.
At high isos its true that m43 have more detail but they have coarser noise, colour blotches and blacks are noisier (although greys are the same between gh-2,g3 and v1).
As a m43 im waiting for a better sensor (if panasonic does black noise reduction and colour retention as well as nikon smoothed high iso raws then do it... i just want a setting that works great with lightroom 3 and it looks like panasonicds don't.
Man, those samples are ugly. Look at RAW ISO 400, then do the spot comparison on the dime where it meets the bank note queen's face. There's some serious moire on her face. Then the seal on the neck of the bottle in the top left. Super fuzzy, low rez. Compare this to the EPL-3 and there's absolutely no question that the EPL-3 is light years ahead of the V1. Nikon really blew it with this camera.
I also noticed the moiré. The softness on the left is probably a lens issue.
Despite all this, it seems that its strength lies in the high ISO range. So I would not say "they blew it".
In terms of IQ and according to these samples, the V1 is quite similar to my 3 year old LX3 at 200 ISO.
It has a strange, unusual feature set, so I wonder how exactly Nikon is positioning this product. If they intended it for the "mass market", why is it priced so high? Conversely, if they aimed it at the "enthusiast" segment, aren't they concerned with the comparatively worse IQ?
On-sensor phase detect AF, electronic shutter and high framerates are very interesting technological developments, but they make this system a kind of a niche product. So does the price.

This is absolutely not true. Hold on to your LX3, I used to have one, and smearing shows its ugly face as early as ISO400. So people, I don't understand you, This sensors better EP3 sensor, and is comparable to G3 output in RAW. Even in JPEG it's better than the messy smearing, splotshing of Olympus sensor. Sure it doesn't have its resolution since it's only 10 MP, but I didn't expect it to be that good. Nikon, bring a body worth this sensor for enthusists.
m43 is image for image and lens for lens the better system.
nikon 1 has nothing to offer beside the high framerate.
and that is something i don´t need.
People, please don't pre-order new cameras. Just wait and see what they are like. It might be good but, equally, it might be a load of junk.
I am impressed with V1 camera can do. Because of the price range, Nikon should revise the price inorder that we all can afford it. Look like I have to look for an alternative cheaper version.
All 3/4-cams seemed to be a little bit better, but only a little bit. So the smaller sensor does a good job. But a smaller sensor should lead to a smaller body. But a smaller body does not make sense if you should be able to use the standard-Nikon-lenses with adapter.
For me, this is a confusing concept.
Very interesting is the comparison to G12 and LX5. The output in RAW is near the same and there is only a minimum advantage from ISO 400 to the Nikon V1.
This is not the point why I would change from a LX 5 or G12 to an V1. This cams offer 95 % of the IQ of the V1, are much cheaper and much less bulky.
My estimate is that V1 is performing 1 stop better than S95/LX5, and approx 0.75 stop worse than C3.
Quite what can be expected from the relative sizes of the sensors.
I would be in the market for such a camera and I find V1's image quality fine. But I cant accept no PASM, and no grip. Sorry.
Totally agree; if the V1 was (as it should have been) at least half the size and half the price, we'd be loving it ... but it isn't so we don't LOL!
Seriously though; I know camera manufacturers make more money from peripherals such as lenses (hence the reason why we're getting a raft of these new ILC's); but give me a camera of similar size to my S95 with a 1" sensor, forget the interchangeable lenses ... you've got my money!
I have to agree with Thomas. Looking at the results I get from my G12, I see no reason why I could be tempted to swap this for a camera that's larger and far more expensive. This is coming from someone who owns two Nikon SLRs. Sorry, but until a manufacturer can bring out an ILC that can give us IQ and high ISO performance comparable to the full frame SLR options, I'm keeping my money in the bank. The Sony NEX-7 is almost there but you'd have to use a Leica M-mount lens with it to get results.
Nothing wrong with M mount lenses :)
The sensor fares very well and I believe the camera operation/processing will match it. As a whole though, the camera holds small sensor (will be always lacking at some aspect or point) of a low resolution file and it's relatively very expensive. The look/body execution doesn't look to be asking for this price either. It's not really compact and light as well. The stabilized 10-30mm lens camera basically relies on.. is nothing special size wise but mainly its sharpness doesn't seem to be that strong point one would hope for. What remains is the provocative price tag, higher than Sony nex apsc. Hm.
DP picking the best lens of the set is a good step. Another reviewer (Digitalcamerainfo) noted similar writing:
"The standard 10mm–30mm kits lens that we used for our testing did not fare well in the resolution department."
"Sharpness with the kit lens was distinctly low.."
While the above quotes refer to other cameras jpgs so it's good to take them very reserved, this, otoh, is their observation of some value that is in the line with the right choice:
"The good news for Nikon is that the telephoto lens appears to be sharper across the zoom range and a better lens overall. Unfortunately, you'll have to shell out for the larger kit or buy the lens separately."
The lens performing here would suggest it's very good indeed. But.. lots of buts if you ask me.
This is camera for set-to-AUTO-and-shoot P&S folks
1) Poor quality lens not only slow but also not sharp - compare it to LX5/XZ-1 to see difference, corners with Nikon are blurry and is not that sharp overall
2) Dumbed down controls
3) Poor ergonomics, even small grip on LX5 is useful Nikon looks like soapbox
Anyone who has any idea how to shoot photos will pick up LX/XZ or m4/3 not only they offer better quality/sharpness/ergonomics but also allow to -easy- set your settings with hardware buttons.
Nikon could make great camera but they dumbed it down and bundled with poor quality lens to protect their highend market.Not for me Nikon.
I agree. If I want a secondary, carry-around camera, lightweight, wide zoom range and good sharpness, the XZ1 or the equivalent new Fuji cost only half and deliver same or better image quality, with less weight.
P.S: Just noted that this is NOT the kit lens, but instead a more expensive lens. So the price tag goes up even further. For Nikon-afficionados?
please note RAW NR applied by Nikon over ISO 400 (as noted by DXOmark)
I have to admit, the IQ of the V1 is much closer to the E-PL3 than I expected - I actually find them very comparable (though the E-PL3 keeps the edge). My hat if off to Nikon for that.
Still this does not change my opinion on the design of the camera.
Anybody who want s to keep shooting P&S-like, but wants more image quality - this seems to be the camera to get (though only full review can confirm that)
the olympus sensor is an old chap.
it´s more or less the same since 3 generations of pen cameras.
the next m43 sensor will be much better.. and it will be still BIGGER then the nikon sensor. :)
as you buy into a camera system with nikon1 or m43 that should not be forgotten.
nikon1 will always have the smaller sensor.
Henry, and the NEX sensor is bigger than m43. And m43 will always be smaller. Fortunately, not everybody buys cameras based solely on sensor size.
As a long term 43 user used to defending against the sensor size issue I find it quite ironic that m43 users are using the sensor size against others!
Let's face it, you can take great pictures with any of these cameras and after all, shouldn't that be what it's all about?
makes the E-PL3 look amazing
As was to be expected- very good compared to the much larger sensors but this could be seen in the first DCRP samples, only most people were so shocked at the "small" sensor they didn't want to see it.
Of course the PL3 looks better but not by much and at higher ISOs the M43 cameras don't have a real advantage.
Now the J1 would need to be really smaller (have to touch it to see) than the E-PL3 and much cheaper. IQ is fine, video great.
Why is it less sharper than Olympus XZ1? Very good seen on the bottle.
Is it famous Nikon's jpeg anti-sharpening?
Nope, I was talking RAW. Ttake a look at the coin on the bottle. The sharpness of the engraving, particularly the horizontal lines in the background, is a stringent test. The XZ-1 engraving is sharp and clear compared to the LX-5, V1, and E-P3. Only when you compare to a DX sensor camera does the image become noticeably better. I used a D5000 to keep the MPixels roughly the same. It's possible that Nikon is using a far more aggressive AA filter on the V1 than the XZ-1 does, but it's also as possible that the XZ-1's lens is simply better. If anything, the XZ-1 should be limited in its sharpness by its poorer DR range sensor, and we may see this in the black levels elsewhere in the image. As suprised as I am about the XZ-1's performance, I am as impressed by the V1's performance in comparsion to u4/3 sensors. But this was expected - most u4/3 sensors are aging technology but this deficit is temporary.
I have also compared RAW and had similar thoughts. But it should be quite embarrassing to be beaten by a compact, even a good one.
It performed as it should compared to other sensor sizes....but its price did not.
If this is to become a sports/action camera, this will need much faster shutter speeds requiring faster lens, bigger sensor, and less pixel count (4-6mp).
I think limiting the pixel count itself is enough to differentiate it from Nikon's DSLR line.
I think all the many "Nikon 1 is DOA" comments on release day need to admit that they made certain faulty assumptions based solely on sensor size. Remarkable all-around performance my the V1.
And this is my DPReviews software for this website blows the others away. Being able to do side-by-side comparisons is awesome. Great work again, DPR, thanks.
nobody said it will be utter crap.. still there are way better alternatives.
and nikons V1 is still way to expensive.
Is Nikon cooking their RAW? Look at this:
by 400 ISO the detail in the card is smeared away. Or is the shot so totally out of focus that detail disappeared?
You know, I'm rather surprised and impressed by how much sharper the XZ-1 RAW ISO 100 and 200 images look in comparison to the V1. The black levels are clearly better with the V1, and the noise levels higher with the XZ-1, but for a 2x area increase in sensor size and 3 years newer sensor technology I would have expected better of the V1. Sigh.
I've seen real world comparison photos on other camera sites between these new Nikons and the competition and the competition looked clearly better on those other comparisons- sharper and less noise than the J1/V1.
Here the Nikons hold their own. What gives?
maybe it is just my monitor but i am quite surprised at how good the high iso looks. all things considered pretty impressive and more than enough for their target audience.
Have a look at the top of the Martini bottle where it says "By appointment to her majesty the queen". Big fail for Nikon compared to the others if you ask me, at any ISO. How can they expect to compete with cameras with much larger sensors? Is the Nikon V1 a lot cheaper than micro four thirds cameras?
I think that's a lens issue, the corners seem quite a bit softer than the center of the frame
You are right. Disappointing nonetheless. Nikon can do better.
The V1 is shot with a zoom lens and the other cameras are shot with a 50mm prime stopped down. Perhaps the zoom was set in a way that it has a shallower DOF.
That is not a DOF issue. Do remember the Nikon has more DOF to start with as the sensor is smaller. What it looks like is a quite dreadful lens. Hopefully it is a one off issue as otherwise the lens is a waste of space because that is not even right at the edge of the frame.
I sense bias toward Nikon images in these responses. Magnumgf clearly stated the differences. Is any one on this forum paid to promote Nikon?
How else do you explain closer items in the photo being sharp and more distant items being more blurry? The 4/3 cameras don't have much DOF advantage over the V1 and their lenses were stopped down more in the test.
Some spectacular Moiré on the face of the banknote at base ISO RAW which hints at a light AA filter, but conversely there's not much detail on the coins... Probably due to the lower pixel count.
Focussing on the coins again I thought it wasn't great at ISO6400 either, but I've just been looking at the Bailey's bottle and the V1 is clearly able to keep up with the best there. The shadow noise on the V1 is clearly far better than the Panasonic and Olympus, and possibly even slightly better than the Sony; which is surprising considering the differences in sensor size.
Purely based on that group of test shots personally I'd go for the Oly PL3 myself, as there's far more detail at base ISO, and it's better at ISO800 too.
I rarely use ISO6400 so that's not important to me, but that's where the V1 and Sony shine.
The V1 looks like a good available light camera, if you're not printing billboards ;)
Not bad, except by iso 1600 even in raw you can see the NR smearing away detail.
So, not smaller, lack of lenses, and they nearly manage to equal an older sensor design... For a lot of money...
I am sure people will buy it, I just dont think it is worth it.
I think I am impressed..
Nikkor 30-110 zoom VS all others 50mm primes. Is it a fair comparison?
We tried all three 1 system lenses that are available so far and found this one to be the best. We actually found it to be very sharp at this focal length (around 34mm) and aperture (4.5).
OK, thank you. Have you got mount adapter FT1? May be NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G with FT1 is sharper than 30-110@34mm.
we don't, and we have no ETA for one either.
Most of the image is OK but the upper right and left corners are pretty soft. How much worse is the 10-30?
The only way I'd buy a V1 is if it comes in it own burl veneer casing!
Well... m43 cameras should be ashamed of their sensors. Sad. Very sad.
If only Nikon has supplied any interesting lenses on launch too. And did something about the price.

Program Length: 6-week Summer Camp. Most begin mid July through the end of August.
Each summer, Guy Healy, Japan, an education consulting and exchange agency based in Japan, invites over 120 American students and graduates to be American Counselors (ACs), who are friends and teachers to the campers. The Guy Healy program pays for all AC's expenses (other than shopping, personal trips, etc). In return, ACs work 9 camp sessions throughout a two month span.
Camps generally run for three days and are sometimes back to back. ACs are split into teams and sent to different locations, such as Nagasaki, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kita Kyushu and Kumamoto.The three days are filled with activities that are both fun and educational.
While camp is in session, the counselor's time is focused on the students, as they are the number one priority. On some days off, counselors have personal traveling days to explore larger Japanese cities or have personal relaxation time. At other times, counselors will spend time with a Japanese host family, which allows the counselor to experience even more about Japanese culture.
Guy Healy, Japan, pays for airfare from the United States to specific locations in Japan, transportation costs within Japan, meals and housing. This opportunity does not provide a salary and credits are not earned.
Guy Healy Summer Camp is an opportunity to work with young people, learn more about yourself and experience another culture.

Were any South or Central American nations besides Brazil involved (not necessarily officially) in either of the World Wars? If any were, I'd appreciate information on their degree of involvement.
Yes, both World War I and World War II involved South and Central America.
Here is a list of South American countries that severed relations and those that declared war. Sourced from here.
Although eight other South or Central American countries declared war, only Brazil had direct involvement. Brazil sent surgeons and pilots to Europe. Most pilots served with the RAF, but some served with the French Army. Brazil was mainly involved at sea, however. A good part of their fleet was involved in anti-submarine warfare. However, there we're quite a few delays that hampered the war effort:
World War II also saw some South and Central American participation. However, again, Brazil was the only nation of these to send troops to fight.
This organization was instrumental in organizing the nations of South and Central America. In fact, before the founding of it, some of these nations recognized Manchukuo as a legitimate state.
Argentina was officially neutral, but leaned to the side of the Axis. After the war, many war criminals harbored there.
Chile also was officially neutral, but later joined the Allies
Before 1940, "Costa Rica, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic offered diplomatic recognition of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo which was not recognized as a legitimate state by a majority of the world's nations at the time." Note Dominican Republic is North American.
So, yes, there was involvement from South and Central America, but it did not play an instrumental part in either of the World Wars.
The South American countries were very hostile to the Axis in World War II and displayed it strongly, even though most did not send troops.
Costa Rica declared war on Germany on December 4, 1941 days BEFORE Pearl Harbor (counting on the Monroe Doctrine. Mexico declared war in April 1942, Brazil in August 1942. Colombia authorized the creation of American bases anywhere on its soil. Brazil, Venezuela and the U.S. worked on joint defense plans for the shipment of bauxite (used in ironmaking) from Dutch Guyana (Surinam). Later, these included the shipment of Venezuelan oil and Brazilian foodstuffs. German submarines were a threat in the Caribbean and even the South Atlantic.
Some 21 of the original 34 signatories of the (anti-Axis) United Nations were in the Americas.

SEVERE STORM: Hilliard Industrial Park Damage Part One
Updated: Saturday, August 3 2013, 01:48 AM EDT
HILLIARD (Ken Hines) -- A strong storm took only seconds to cause severe
damage to several businesses at an industrial park on Wednesday
Weather investigators have not determined the type of
storm that struck the park located on Equity Dr. near Westbelt Dr., but
several witnesses said they believe a tornado was responsible for the
extensive damage.
The storm ripped chunks of roof off multiple
buildings, and caused a collapse that left a gaping hole in the United
Stationers building.
The roof of SCP Pools was also severely
damaged by the storm. The business's employees described the sound of
the storm as deafening, and said the building was ripped open like a
SCP workers took shelter in the building's basement and
bathroom during the chaos of the storm, which lasted only seconds,
according to witnesses.
The facades of multiple buildings were also severely damaged by Wednesday's storm, as well as several vehicles.
No storm-related injuries were reported in the area, which surprised many who saw the damage done to the park's buildings.

Holiday season is here! We are all running around; shopping, decorating, cooking, traveling, spending time with family, building snowmen, more shopping, giving, receiving. Wait! What kind of message are we sending our children?
A twist to the "wish listâ€
Let's switch this up! Instead of writing a "wish list†of things; sit down with your kids and make a goals "wish listâ€, including short and long term goals. It could include a list of faith goals, education goals, behavior goals, etc. Be sure to make it on a large poster board and hang it up. That way, they can track their progress throughout the year. I also suggest giving rewards or certificates for their progress. As an extra benefit; make one yourself! It will show your children that you are in this as a family and not putting expectations on them you are not willing to return.
Pros and cons
What do you do with the "wish list†your child comes home from school with? Sit down with them and make a pros and cons list about every item on their list. You can help them by giving suggestions if they get stuck (this will usually happen in the cons section). By the end they can only pick one…or however many you are willing to get them. Before making the list, be sure to tell them how many they are to narrow it down to. That way it won't come as a shocker when they can only pick one or two things from a list of 20. So they don't get overwhelmed by so many options; I suggest breaking the items into groups. E.g. Items #1-3 in a group, #4-6, etc. or video games in a group, action figures in another, etc.) Once you get it down to one item per group, put them together into one group and continue narrowing down. My son did this with 3 things he REALLY wanted but he only had enough money to buy one and after that list, he bought that one thing and hasn't even thought about the other two since!
Giving back
Giving back is what it's all about! My son and I are beginning a new tradition this year that I am challenging you to begin with your families as well. For one of his presents, I will be giving him $25 to creatively bless someone in need. He cannot just turn around and give the $25 to someone. This will be a time for him to get involved in his giving. Some examples are; to find his area of interest like starving children and to go out and find some children who are hungry then buy them some food, or for us to go for a walk and intentionally look for needs in the area and fulfill the need as he sees a need. If $25 is not enough, he can take the money and flip it by buying supplies to paint with and selling his artwork, etc. to raise however much is needed to help the person in need.
Healthy alternative
What are you putting in your child's stocking? Instead of candy and other trinkets that will get played with once; try healthy alternatives. Like a jump rope and other toys that will get them moving and foods like nuts and fruit snacks. You can even go for a healthy alternative with your advent calendar, buy one that allows you to choose what you put in it. We put vitamins in ours last year and this year, folded up pieces of paper with simple fitness challenges on them. E.g. First day of the countdown was 25 seconds DANCE! Day two: 24 jumping jacks, etc. Do the challenges as a family to add to the fun! We call it 25 days of Christmas Fitness Challenge and it has been a big hit!
And most of all, remember to celebrate Jesus this Holiday season; He is the reason!

A great little present
I purchased the Drink Up: Bedside Babushka Glass Carafe as a present for my wife to stop her taking cups of water and spilling them by the bed side. The carafe is great - with just enough capacity to suffice and a small footprint so it doesn't take up much space on the bedside table. I'm very pleased with this purchase and it's a great price too.

This Drink Up: Bedside Babushka Glass Carafe is a lovely gift idea for a female friend, mum or sister. It looks really pretty and it's so useful because you simply fill it up, put it by the bed and when you're thirsty during the night, you don't have to get up for a glass of water. This is perfect and recommended!
Bedside babushka
This Drink Up: Bedside Babushka Glass Carafe is such a lovely item as a present (I got it for my sister). She loved it! It's a lovely size and looks really pretty and cute - plus it's practical. It is really useful to have something like this by the bed for when you get thirsty in the night, and simply can't be bothered to get up. It is functional and a very good present for a girly girl or if you're looking for something a bit more unusual than a jug. It covers up the water, so it won't taste stale like when it's been sitting for hours in a glass by the bed. I really want one for myself now!
Love it and hopefully mum will too!
After reading some of the reviews, I was quite worried that the Drink Up: Bedside Babushka Glass Carafe wouldn't be up to scratch, but I am actually very impressed. I've bought this as a (very) late Mother's day present and I'm certain my mum will love this. It's much larger than I thought. I assumed it would be quite small but I am very happy with the size and the delivery. Very satisfied.
Not Great
I wasn't very happy with my Bedside Babushka Glass Carafe, apart from the fact it looked like it had been opened more than once (damage to box, smudged glass) there was a nick out in the Babushka pattern. I thought this was etched glass but it didn't look or feel like it! It seemed to be more of a transfer picture and looked very cheaply done. The glass itself was very thin and I wasn't very happy overall. Looks lovely in the picture but not worth more now I've seen it, in my opinion!
Very Flimsy
It does the job but I was surprised at how thin the glass was when I first took it out of the box. It feels very flimsy and considering this is something you'll use at night time when it's dark and your hands aren't that coordinated, it looks and feels like it'd be a little too easy to break.
I bought this Bedside Babushka Glass Carafe for my Mum's birthday and it's absolutely gorgeous, I know she'll love it. It's a great size and so pretty, it'll look great on anyone's bedside table. The head is the perfect size for a quick glass of water in the night, and is slightly flattened on the top so that it can stand up fine on its own. The only reason I've knocked a star off (wish it could only have been half a star, but don't have the option) is I feel it could have benefitted from being slightly heavier. It feels almost too delicate for me, but my Mum is less clumsy than me!

Tierra del Sol is the handiwork of Bodegas y Vinedos de Aguirre, a family owned winery with vineyards located close to the picturesque town of Villa Alegre, in the heart of the Maule Valley, 250 miles south of Santiago. They have 800 acres of grapes with a modern technical system of drip irrigation.
Today, Don Pedro Felix de Aguirre's dream is carried on by his family. Bodegas y Vinedos de Aguirre S.A. was founded by Don Pedro Felix de Aguirre is cared and managed by his wife, Ana Mar?a and her 7 children, all of them professionals and executives of the winery.
The first vine stocks were brought to Chile by the Spanish priest Francisco de Carabantes in 1548. A few years later, Francisco de Aguirre planted the first vineyards and produced the first harvest in 1551. It was not until the mid-nineteenth century that Chile saw a significant transformation of its winemaking industry when a number of wealthy families introduced top-quality vine stocks, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec.
From generation to generation, the art of winemaking in Chile has evolved and improved to where it has now earned a world-class reputation. Five hundred years of history and tradition guarantee that our winery will keep its promise of quality in every single bottle.
The soils here are composed from volcanic ash, which consists of sand and sandy loam soil. The vineyards are flat and receive excellent exposure to sunlight. The fields are carefully controlled to produce concentrated wines of excellent quality and elegance.
The vineyards as well as the Villa Alegre enjoy an exceptional Mediterranean type climate. Winter rains are normal and summers are dry. The accentuated variations in temperature between day and night allow the grapes to develop with a strong ripe tannin, great flavors and excellent color concentration.
This wine has an intense ruby color. It's a fine example of a complex wine with ripe fruits and hints of hazelnut and chocolate. It is a powerful and concentrated wine with tannins that are ripe and elegant. It matches red meats, beef, roast beef and strong cheeses.

Neighborhoods: Sugar House
Jenn Cook rocks! – I had been tattoo'd by many different artists when Jenn found me and since then I haven't let anyone else lay a needle to me. She's the best and I've been following her around for years! Her attitude is the best and her great personality flows into her work. No matter what we're working on we always share in a laugh or two. She's tattoo'd my wife, father, brother, sister-in-law, and many of my closest friends each of who has walked away happy. I recommend Southern Thunder and especially Jenn Cook for anyone looking for a relaxing atmosphere and a great tattoo!
Been getting inked at Southern Thunder for 13 years – I got my first tattoo at Southern Thunder by Mick back in 1998. My ex-wife had her tatts done by Bones as far back as 1994. Since then I've been having my work done by Jennifer Cook, and I've been nothing but pleased. My two oldest daughters have also had their tattoos done by Jennifer.
Jennifer's artwork is exceptional and goes beyond tattoos, which is probably why her tattoos are so incredible. Jennifer's easy-going style and demeanor make the whole experience more than just getting a tattoo, you feel like you've made a friend for life.
I can not recommend this shop, or Jennifer more. They're worth your time checking-out before you have anyone ink your skin.
The below statements about Jason is SUCH a lie. – My self and about 5 other friends of mine have been getting work done by Jason. He is the most amazing artist. And i am so upset that those ladys that were in the night i was there would make up such a lie about Jason. Those women were extremely rude to Jason. The whole time they cut down his ideas and yelled at him to do it her way several times and i sat back and watched how sweet and professional he delt with the situation of those rude ladys. I have known Jason for over 10 years and he is the sweetest soft hearted person i know. He is so amazing when it comes to being creative, and working very closely to his clients he cares so much about his work and his customers feedback. SO LADYS GO SPREAD YOUR LIES ELSE WERE. Jason Does have a portfolio as well, its so shocking that someone that was extremly rude to Jason would try and make themselves look great. All i can tell you and so can over 50+ people will say " we love Jason and his amazing work, and those are all lies and i would only go to Jason........I JUST FIND IT SO FUNNY THE STORY SOMEONE WILL MAKE BECAUSE THEY WERE SO RUDE TO HIM. So trust me Jason Is the nicest person i have ever meet. trust me Jason doesn't have alot of clients because he is rude its because....HE IS BY FAR THE NICEST TATTOO ARTIST IN THE VALLEY. .....We love you Jason don't let liars bother you. You know your amazing and sweet.
Fantastic Coverup!!!!!!! – My first experience was with Bones. He did a lotus on my upper right arm. I just recently had him do a dragon fly hovering above the lotus. It's so beautiful!!!! I've had lot's of compliments on them!!!
I had a tat that I wanted covered up and Jenn Cook was available to do it. We had talked about what I was wanting. I had a pink bunny that never looked good, done at another shop. I wanted a bear and I wonderful bear I got. She had one drawn out and I loved it. I've had two sessions with the cover up.
I love the work that Bones and Jenn do. They are great people, do fantastic jobs too!!!! It takes me 2.5 hours to drive to the shop, but it is well worth it for me. I"m a forever repeat customer!!!!
The best Tattoo EVER – Jenn Cook did my tattoo and I love. She is a great artist!! My tattoo is more than I could ever ask for I LOVE IT!!!
CAUTION!!! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! – I am still in shock regarding our experience. Avoid JASON at all costs! No portfolio, only cell phone pictures. Communicated only through text- sent him a drawing of what we had in mind & he sent back copies of a carbon picture. He became very, very irritated when we asked for revisions. He actually drew one of the Kanji symbols (in which we researched extensively) incorrectly and was very defensive and argumentative when we told him. Asked for very specific colors and he did what he wanted rather than what was asked for. I now have a black kanji after I specifically and emphatically asked for brown. When we questioned him about the colors he became enraged and demanded we all get the F*** out of his area! He stated he would no longer be disrespected- that he was the artist and we had no right to question his work. He didn't give a rip that the art was permanent on our bodies, only that it had to be his way. And he screamed all those things at the top of his lungs- even threatening to call the police- all over questioning his work. We were actually afraid for our safety. He is beyond arrogant and unstable and has no concept customer service. The owner "Bones" response was ridiculous and he did nothing but say "yeah, some people just don't mesh". There are plenty of places you can go to get beautiful work and have your business valued and appreciated. SOUTHERN THUNDER IS NOT THAT PLACE!!
Beware- – 4 of us went in- 2 came out happy- the other 2 had an awful experience! Jason is an arrogent, short tempered, time bomb! Don't question his work or you may experience the rage that we witnessed-SCARY!!
Outstanding experience – I found Southern Thunder Tattoo to be a refreshing blend of an old fashioned environment of commitment to the art with a modern feel for making customers feel valued and appreciated. It is clear that the fact that they have been there since 1992 is in no way an accident. My experience there was further complimented by the wonderfully creative artist, Jenn Cook. Who, after carefully listening to what I wanted, delivered an artistic interpretation that not only was tailored to my specifics, but was also imaginative, creative, and unique. The details are exquisite. Jenn Cook exceeded my expectations and not only will I return to her for more ink, I also recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for an outstanding tattoo artist who is committed to her art.
Incredible Experience – I have several tattoos, done by several artists in different states over a 23 year period. Never in my life have I been so pleased with the artwork I am getting at Southern Thunder. Jenn Cook is the artist who is working with me. Not only is she a talented- to the tune of winning awards for her original artwork -but she is also easy to work with. She listened to my ideas and did several drafts of concepts before I was satisfied. I have plans for a lot of work to be done and I will have Jenn do it for me. I can't imagine going anywhere else. AMAZING!
Tattoo Artist with Class and Style – I have been working up the courage for my piece for about 5 years now. I have spoken to over 10 different artists in 6 states. I am a man who was not entirely comfortable with a female artist, but Jen Cook of Southern Thunder Tattoo not only put me at ease, she helped me create the design I have dreamed about for years. She has class and style. Her work is 4 star rating. I would highly recommend her and the shop to anyone wanting quality, class and style.

The Green Grid has developed the Data Center Maturity Model (DCMM) and supporting white paper to outline capability descriptors by area such that users can benchmark their current performance, determine their levels of maturity, and identify the ongoing steps and innovations necessary to achieve greater energy efficiency and sustainability, both today and into the future. The maturity model touches upon every aspect of the data center including power, cooling, compute, storage and network. The levels of the model outline current best practices and a 5-year roadmap for the industry.

Hi Phil - thank you for your comment.
The task force did not ignore the fact that there are other ways of cooling. We actually want to encourage innovation and left the door wide open for that to happen whether it is liquid cooling or any other type of cooling you and the industry can think of.
If you look at the cooling section of the model:
2.3 - "Mechanical/Refrigerant Cooling reduction" - The no mechanical/refrigerant cooling stipulates the number of hours you do not use mechanical/refrigerant cooling regardless of the cooling method - you decide - air, water, liquid, an army of men with straws, a new innovation, etc.
I would welcome further input - please come and join the Task Force within The Green Grid.

Basic physics demonstrates that air is a highly inefficient coolant. The volume of air needed to carry away 1 unit of heat is 5500 times larger than that needed for a direct touch refrigerant based system. Such a system was demonstrated to be superior to every other cooling system recently tested during chill-off 2. There are also several other non air cooled systems being introduced including those from "Green Revolution" and Hard Core Cooling"
In spite of this the authors of the maturity model totally ignore these advances. This raises serious questions value of this document.

This is such a good papertrimmer I wouldn't change it for anything! I thought my old one was... well... OK. It did it's job, but it was kinda hard to cut and you really had to push down the blade for it to cut properly. This one is SO easy to use. Just slide in the paper under the little plastic strip and cut!
Also, I love the grid on the cuttingboard. You can fit a full 12x12-paper and cut all sorts of sizes with help from the grid. Makes perfect cuts every time with almost no effort needed at all. :) If you're gonna get a new papertrimmer, this one is worth every penny! (And I paid the regular price plus shipping to Sweden plus Swedish taxes which are 25% of the amount, and I still think it's worth every penny!)
I used it today and have to go buy one soon!! I tried this one out and love it. I like the gridlines..so if you want to cut a certain size like..4x6 you can just use the gridelines and cut the perfect size.
it takes a little getting used to..considering it is a little large..and the blade takes a little but of effort to push..but once you use it awhile you get used to it in my opninion. Even though it is larger in size, it is really lightweight and folds in half to take to crops!
I just love this trimmer...I had a big old Guilotine before which was bulky and not to mention not so safe for little fingers! I love this trimmer because it is sturdy and very handy. I love the fact that I can place the metal ruler in the handy storage area when I fold it up. It is so easy to use...you dont even have to hold the paper in place with the handy plastic paper holder which automatically holds the paper in place when you use the trimmer.
