I'd be suspicious of (very expensive) gimmickry. There were tables in the '70's that didn't rely on gravity but they never won out over traditional tables & tone arms because of inconsistent tracking. I had a Thorens table with the Shure SME high track arm and a Stanton 681EE cartridge that perfectly tracked deep in the center of the groove and kept a constant 3 gram pressure. Its sound still beats any digital format. I suppose the Miniot might appeal to a rich Millennial who wants to impress his/her friends but who doesn't know any better.

Nice setup - the tracking force seems a bit high - do you find that necessary?

Age related macular degeneration, AMD, can make photography difficult, if not impossible. I’ve been tested for and eventually getting injection's in each eye for over four years. I’ve reached the stage now where I need a magnify glass to help me read and also will have to stop driving before the end of summer so I will be selling my cameras and lenses. Watch for my addi in the next month or so. I will first try Craig’s list for local photographers .

Sorry to hear that Bud.

Newspapers by and large were unable to see beyond their paradigm. They were given the new model by Apple. Only a handful took it and ran with it successfully.


Agreed. I’m now reading The NY Times and the Washington Post.

That's S!CK — https://youtu.be/5IS53CZjT6o? (the music video by The Warning)

To the OP: Gary Larson is one of the all time great cartoonists. Thanks for resurrecting this from the archives! Of all the things I miss from local daily newspapers that were once worth reading, cartoons and editorials are the things I miss.


That and Doonsbury… I started every day with the Raleigh News and Observer for almost 40 years, but it just became a shell of its former self. The editorials were gone, the “main section” dropped to 8 pages, stopped printing the obits and the delivery became sporadic (farmed out to a 3rd party) along with offshore billing management run by crooks. RIP N&O - a sadness.

And mine for finding it annoying.


Reading anything you find annoying is NOT required - you have a CHOICE.

My Persian is doing something weird lately. Every time I finish a meal she likes to get on my lap and then turn around and look at me while pressing on my stomach with one paw and then the other for about 3 or 4 minutes. It hurts!!! I think she is trying to tell me something, but I'm confused.

That supposedly indicates contentment or affection for the person - my cat does it all the time.

My cat stares at me like that for no reason, all the time. I ask him "Do you want to go out"? "Do you want food?" "What do you want?"

(no response)

I think he's just messing with me.


Ever try the “slow blink”? If you slowly blink (once or twice) at a cat staring directly at you, if they blink back, it indicates affection (supposedly). It works with my cat almost every time.

The cat in your picture seems slighty miffed at having a mohawk pattern combed between its ears, by the bristles on that toothbrush.


He is an Abbysinian apparently taken up close with a wide lens - their faces aren’t really that wide. Until they get older, they all have that “Mohawk” that looks like it’s been brushed - it fades as they age.

Yes, I can see It would take a lot of explaining to get through to you people - which I am not going to pursue.....


Exactly my thoughts with respect to you. Go actually shoot some publication worthy indoor sports images and then get back to us. It will become clear to you then.

You don't READ so good - I said FF is bad for THIS OP !

FF is not really necessary for anything - unless you are making BIG prints - especially in low light - AND, you have a muscular physique to carry it all AND deep pockets to pay for it.


There is an entire world of professional photographers that can’t believe you’re actually making such a ridiculous statement.

Obviously you have not shot indoor sports in a poorly lit gym recently. Give it up. There are those of us that do it regularly and actually know what we are talking about. I wouldn’t presume to give you advice about shooting BIF

Notice that all the graphs displayed show only very recent times (roughly from 1960 onward) that are interpreted to support a crisis narrative, not long-term periods of the Earth's 4.5 billion years of history. They all conceal the fact that CO2 has been as much as 10 times higher in the distant past than it currently is. And the world did not end! They ignore the historical scientific record that actually shows inconsequential temperature change from 300 years ago. And they conceal the fact that the temperatures selected for "climate" studies are taken within large cities, which are "heat islands" that average several degrees hotter (and increasing over time) than in the rural countryside that constitutes the vast majority of the Earth's surface. Finally, they don't show NASA's satellite records that show temperature increases over the oceans are not increasing in relation to land temperatures. If atmospheric CO2 were the climate driver, they would be increasing equally.

Indeed, the "facts" are quite different from what the climate industry and power-centric governments want us to believe. We are being fed only the propaganda intended to create an "existential crisis" that requires massive government expansion and control.

Certainly it has been higher, and the world was a very different place - much of the east coast was underwater - want to go there again?

The graphs are focused on the last hundred years, when the amount of automobiles and use of electricity (generated by fossil fuels) has asymptoted in the industrial age. Can you read the graphs? Do you think the data is false?

No, they are not taken only in “hot cities”. And if you look at the actual data, the ocean temperature IS rising. As a result, the ice packs ARE melting (look at the graphs). If you want real data, go to NOAA and NASA and look at the data directly from the satellites. There you can find all the data you want from rural areas and the oceans - the satellites don’t discriminate.

And no, the historical record is not ignored. Go to NCDC and look at the historical record - they are the largest repository of weather data in the world.

Get some real facts. I hope you’re too intelligent to parrot this hocus pocus and conspiracy theories. We’ll see.
