Re: OT: Need help with a package from UK to USA
Thanks John and Bob. Not a solution in either case. Royal Mail (in some sort of fire sale situation, I read) is the umbrella corp of ParcelForce. Their prices are pretty much the same as the rest. They only seem to differ in the service used to deliver the goods once over here. One suggestion made by the seller and by eBay was to find a consolidator who takes their time but fills containers to ship under their name. Getting the package to a port and getting it delivered might be another sticking point. ParcelForce, by the way, offers the best prices, up until just below my purchase's cubic footage, at which point that service is no longer available.

Re: PESO - Megabridge
I prefer the first - it is more about the bridge. The shoreline is a bit cluttered in the 2nd one. I have mixed feelings about the 3rd. I sometimes get too hung up on technical details and don't look at an image as a whole. In this case I dismissed the sun and the flare it caused, thought about whether you could get the cables shining like that without the sun interfering in the image. Then I reread your note and went back for a 2nd and 3rd look. I think it might work as is, maybe crop the bottom... I know some are fascinated with the star-burst effect, others merely enjoy it, and others like me see it as a technical flaw.

Re: IS and tripods
I think the real take-away is that IS, like AF, AE, and TTL-flash-AE, are all tools to be used and exploited for best advantage .. And that the reason there are so many options provided for each of them is that no one automation setting is best for all circumstances. And sometimes, the best setting is to simply switch them off and set the exposure, the focus, the sensitivity yourself, and hold the camera still... :-) Godfrey On Dec 19, 2013, at 4:39 AM, Matthew Hunt m...@pobox.com wrote: I guess the moral of the story is that if one setting isn't working, try the other one. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: OT: HELP!
Hi John: Maybe go with arts and crafts. Maybe a starter scrapbook kit, which you could find at say a Michael’s arts and crafts store. Maybe puzzles or smart games. Is she a techy? Does she have a tablet? Maybe a gift card to her corresponding app store? Does she like music? Would her parents allow a little iPod shuffle, which I think is listed at $49.99? One in her favorite color? I’m not so good at gifts either, but I gave it a go. Good luck! I haven’t even started my Christmas shopping yet.

Re: OT: Old-car identification?
Well, I'll play Sherlock here. The lines of the car (we can't discount TRUCK, but the window shape of the open door suggests CAR to me) are definitely mid-30s. The photo was taken in 1937, which was essentially the close of the Depression. So a new car struck me a bit affluent. So I did a little searching. Assuming that Odessa is Odessa, Texas we can do a little research on that area. It seems that Ector County was part of the Texas oil boom, with a big strick in the area in 1926. Odessa became the shipping and oilfield supply center for the county's burgeoning petroleum boom. County lands produced almost 12,330,000 barrels of oil in 1938. In 1930 3,958 people lived in Ector County; the population increased to 15,051 in 1940. http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hce02 Now let's turn our attention to auto dealerships in Odessa in the mid-30s. Today there exists a Sewell Ford in Odessa. Did it exist in the mid-30s? Yep! In fact, In 1935, (Sewell) sons Carl Sr. and Woody, purchased the the bankrupt Love Motor Company in Odessa. Located at 2nd Street Texas Avenue, Carl Sewell Motor sold half of their 22-vehicle inventory on opening day. New cars sold from $695 - $1,035. A new truck could be bought for $635. http://www.vancesnewsletter.com/sewell-ford-history.html Could this car be a 1935 Ford Sedan, purchased on that opening day in 1935? Let's take a look: http://goo.gl/UcR6RB Notice the horizontal bar going across the grill that, if extended, would go across the top portion of the headlights? It can be seen in Stan's family picture. Notice the shape of the bottom corners of the windshield (also a match). Notice the groove running through the middle of the front bumper? I'm guessing that we are looking at a 1935 Ford Sedan, purchased from Sewell Ford in Odessa, TX in 1935. http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=118448 But that's just a guess. :) On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at 3:32 PM, Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info wrote: No others at this point.

Re: OT: Old-car identification?
Thanks Darren! Interesting sleuthing, but Odessa may have thrown you off the track. In fact we are dealing with Odessa NY, a burg of 300-500 people at the time. (Smaller now.) Nearest locales likely to have had dealerships (in rough order of distance) are: Montour Falls, Watkins Glen, Elmira, Corning, and Ithaca. My father's family were dairy farmers, and my grandfather was arguably the most successful and affluent farmer in that portion of what was and is New York State's poorest county. Big fish, small pond. He bought and leased quite a few acres from others who didn't have the resources to make it through the depression. On my mother's side, there was a long-standing preference for GM products. On my father's side, IIRC the tendency was for Chrysler. I hardly knew my grandfather, he died in the early '50s, but from the stories I've heard he was likely to go for a good deal, brand-loyalty be damned.

Re: OT: Old-car identification?
I looked for features. It's got the 2 strips on the door and the vertical lined grille. Plus the horizontal bars across the grille, though only one is visible. The grille is also tall. Headlights in a similar position and the lower corners of the windshield round similarly. I first looked at the 36 Ford, but though the window and door matched the grille did not. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1936_Ford_Model_68_730_De_Luxe_Fordor _Touring_Sedan_dk.jpg So one year old and voila.

OT: Coolest email I've gotten in a while...
Just got this in my inbox: Dear Charles, my name is Wolfgang Flür, I was a Kraftwerk member from 1973-1986 (all albums / tours), the electro drummer. Today I have found your photos from us of the 1981 Computerworld tour in Bremen and am so what of excited. You are a very good photographer I find. My quest is if I can use some for them for my website like a little slideshow for instance for all Kraftwerk fans and include your photographer's name of course. Would be very nice to hear positive from you. Are you still living in Germany? Very best greetings, merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family, Wolfgang Flür WOW! -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: OSX 10.9 download
But my startup hard drive is toast. Of course I have multiple backups. Paul via phone On Dec 19, 2013, at 9:21 PM, Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: Thanks Godfrey. It downloaded in about 30 minutes. I thought I'd see a progress bar in the download folder.

It's a very large download … 4 or 5 gigabytes plus … which will take overnight on most home network services. (I have decent service here; a 2.75G file I needed from the office took almost three hours to download. At the office, it would have taken four minutes.) If you continue to have trouble downloading it, I'd recommend going to an Apple Retail Store if there's one reasonably nearby and doing the download and installation there. They can also suss out for you if there's some other problem. G On Dec 19, 2013, at 4:58 PM, Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: I click download on the App Store.

Apple lately seems to assume everyone has immense bandwidth and thus needs no feedback about anything coming down the pipe … a tip, for others if not you, Paul: you can quit the App Store and see the download status as a lo-fi thermometer in an icon in Launchpad; you can click on this icon to pause the download if you temporarily need bandwidth for something else; click again to resume i know this because i have just completed the 5.3GB download over the last three days on my 60KB/s crap DSL; now i've got two SSDs to install in two laptops and a bunch of cloning and deauthorizing/reauthorizing to do -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
