I want a Sony A7 II, or their a6000. Both killer cameras.

Right now the real innovators in the camera market is Sony and Olympus. Sony is the supplier of sensors for many of the top camera brands.Olympus uses the same Sony Sensor on all of its ILC cameras. Check out the Sony A6000 and A7II. Olympus' new EM5 II, has taken the Sony sensor to new heights with its sensor shift technology. Sony and Olympus are working together on the new technology. Olympus needs Sony sensors, and Sony could use Olympus Lens tech and Oly's 5 axis IBIS. Sony's camera dept is bringing some excitement to the camera business, and reflects good on Sony. Good press attached to their name can't hurt.

Look for streaming public radio stations. You might find something you like. Right now I am listening to some Steve Earle on a public station out of Whitesburg Ky (WMMT). Some of the best Rap I heard was on WRFL (Radio Free Lexington). http://wrfl.fm/playlist/# Stations like these are a threat to corporate radio, so that's why there are attempts at defunding them or selling off their bandwidth to mega media.

Public radio has been a great resource for me. WUKY in Lexington has introduced me to some great musicians that would never get air time on corporate radio. You won't hear Christian McBride or Lucinda Williams on your local AM station. Chances are, you won't hear a live, local Dj on your radio unless you tune into your NPR station. I'm listening to WMMT streaming from Whitesburg Ky.

The haulouts she points to were well south of the most recent haulout. Her example was in the Bering Sea, the most recent is in the Chukchi Sea. St Lawrence Island is not within the Arctic Circle. Point Lay is. Since her St Lawrence observation, ice loss has accelerated.

Only in the mind of the Koch Brothers.

It can be used to stifle political activity that doesn't suit the Oligarch.

Bring back DOS!

Ca Ca still smells like shit.

would love to go back into the caves of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee. It's like mountain climbing upside down and at night.

Chapman's spread of Apples was a solution to the bad water problem. Making the apples into Apple Jack sterilized the water. The alcohol in the Jack didn't freeze as readily as pure water. Straining out the icy slush made the Jack stronger, and less likely to freeze. So when your stream is frozen, there's some Jack to drink.

Speaks at length about John Chapman. Apples were for Apple Jack, not eating. In his book he speaks of four plants, the Apple, Tulip, Potato, and Marijuana, and how they manipulate us into a mutually beneficial relationship. I'm a big fan of his books on food.

More and more we are becoming the neo con paradise envisioned by the pro Pinochet Reaganites.

Good choice. I just attached my Tokina 28mm and the reverse ring on the front. I think it is time to hit the arboretum for a bit of bug n flower photographs. I shoot with a Micro 4/3 so the Tokina comes out to 56mm.

For some it might be about being hip, but some might be inspired to continue expressing themselves with a camera. I am not so cynical to think that all kids are mindless followers of fashion.
My first attempts at developing photos were less than perfect. That didn't discourage me. I learned from my failures. Chances are good those kids will make the same mistakes I made. The committed won't be discouraged.
