I have USAA Homeowners insurance. I bought a Personal effects policy from them for my photo equipment. For USAA if you generate any income from your equipment, even $1.00, the policy is null and void. Other insurance companies may have similar clauses but with different restrictions and $ limits. If you are a pro, you may need another policy.


Very true!

If all you have is H.O. insurance and you generate *any* income from the use of your gear and your insurance company finds out: Claim Denied!
And, if you put in a claim for a lot of equipment, say your kit with 2 bodies and 5 lenses plus flash, etc. is taken from your car, they *will* check.

When I want to print an image of a different size (although 11x14 isn't odd at all), I simply open it in PS and make the CANVAS size the standard size. This centers the image on the paper (or puts it where you want it) and prints the standard size paper. Then you can either trim off the excess or mat it out.


Yeah, that'll work too. But I think the Tabloid option I gave would be the simplest 'down and dirty' workaround, especially since we don't know what PP she is using. Your solution works just as well with LR (which I use) by positioning the print (under 'Layout') in the Print dialogue, under 'Printer...'.

This is Canon's service number:

800-652-2666

I've had printer issues (connectivity via WiFi) before and they have always been very helpful.

I'm going to add: You can always use the Tabloid (11x17) option, and print only on the that section (I believe it will be the bottom portion). You're doing a work-around - the printer will see the 11" width [and not know the length] but you'll have to attend to it after each print.

When you go to the print dialogue on your post-processing program, is there an "untitled" option? If so, you can make almost any odd size you wish, and *many*, as well. That's how it works on my Pro-10 - I have 7x10, 9x13, 5x5, and others, as well as 14x26 (yes, 14x26). On the Pro-10 the 14x26 can be printed with the manual tray, and you may be able to do it on the 200.

All logs and error reports have been sent to Adobe. I have a NVIDA geforce GTX. All mechanical parts have been checked more than once. All drivers updated multiple times. I don't remember why the technician originally went on since it is 2 months already, but it had to do something with the slideshow not working. I use Photoshop and Camera Raw most of the time, and only use Lightroom for the slideshow. I don't keep the program on the computer because if I kept all of the Adobe programs on my hard drive. I have looked at Luminar and Affinity. Today, I will try the Capture One. I am very frustrated with the lack of knowledge of the Adobe technicians and the lack of responsibility of keeping appointments that they set up (and send follow-up emails to insure that I will be sitting in front of my computer at that time).
All logs and error reports have been sent to Adobe... (show quote)


No pretense of being able to assist, BUT the "I don't keep the program on the computer..." statement is incomplete, and may have something to do with it.

The program [LR? PS?] is external to the computer? Could there be an issue with an anti-virus program throwing a firewall against the rather powerful - and now recognizably foreign - Adobe products? If I remember correctly, Norton did an upgrade "about two months ago". Coincidence?

Alzheimers Assoc? (Some think - and it is commonly used - Alteimers)

Details for 'Ride'?

Edit - Just looked it up -

USPS may not be the best way to send a package, but sometimes it is the only way. I recently sold a piece of equipment to someone with a P.O. box. Only the postal system will deliver to one of those, UPS will not and most likely FedX will not also.


There IS a way for the PO Box to receive something from UPS or FedEx.

Say, the physical address of the PO is 123 Main St, Anytown, Yourstate. [zip=99999]
-or- Your (or your customer's) address is PO Box 456, Anytown, Yourstate. [zip=99999]

Address your UPS or FedEx package *this way*:

(receiver)
123 Main St, Apt 456
Anytown, Yourstate, 99999-xxxx (look up the zip+4 for 123 Main on USPS.com)

It works. Used it many times. Both ways. BUT not all UPS/FedEx drivers know it!

---------

But, the original problem of non- or late-delivery with the PO is mostly poorly written address and the PO mis-sorting. Add to that that the workers are being pushed to do more and more than ever, as MDIMainer has stated.

Got the neuropathy from chemo, here. Expressed itself as 'dropfoot', starting about 10 weeks after the chemo ended (and then on a regime of immunotherapy for my NSCLC).

The 'dropfoot' was mitigated by simple devices (a plastic piece that went in my shoe like an insole, and secured to and surrounded my calf up to about halfway) administered to me by a Physical Therapy consult. I wore them for close to a year, building back the muscle control in my feet/ankle/calf combo.

I haven't used them for about three years now as the neuropathy is about 90% gone. If I get overtired, it will *sometimes* bother me only a little for a couple of days.

Incidentally, if you are lucky enough and the oncologist recommends immunotherapy - take it!

Any chemo- or immunotherapy regime is going to likely cause some sort of other reaction. They are damned powerful drugs. I got the neuropathy and some reaction from immunotherapy (RA in hands) and now both are mostly gone.

But, here is my point: my rheumatologist told me something like "There is some evidence that a strong reaction to (cancer fighting) drugs is a good indication that (they) are doing, have done, their job well, and that those that have the reactions have a higher long-term survival rate."

I'll take it!

We've all responded about *seeing* the Aurora, but not *photographing* them, so here are some recommendations:

https://www.davemorrowphotography.com/2014/10/how-to-photograph-northern-lights.html

https://blog.frontiersnorth.com/5-tips-photograph-northern-lights-like-pro?utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=aurora%20photography&utm_campaign=Northern+Lights+and+Winter+Nights&utm_source=adwords&hsa_grp=101220871118&hsa_tgt=kwd-304356477981&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ad=431055216479&hsa_ver=3&hsa_cam=38749957&hsa_mt=e&hsa_src=g&hsa_kw=aurora%20photography&hsa_acc=1173567249&gclid=Cj0KCQjwio6XBhCMARIsAC0u9aHxJw1idVQ53NF4q8wKuNYBiMGsz-pWRldeqhF-Y40vmfcCIJkAjgEaAi5qEALw_wcB

Just two of many (after googling 'photographing the northern lights). That query will also yield several videos.

As an aside: I've seen the Aurora up close twice in my life. (and a few from southern NH)

Once in northern Maine - not the undulating sheets so often pictured, but like explosions in the sky, the *whole* sky! Light would stream into a zenith, like being sucked into a vortex, linger for a few seconds (still flickering), and then bounce out like a rock thrown into a still pond. It lasted for most of the night

And once on Ocean Station Charlie as a radioman. This one must have been a "CME" [Coronal Mass Ejection - look it up!] because it lasted over 24 hours and it was bright enough at night that it looked like being in a city during a snowstorm. No pattern, no 'sheets', just a chaos of light.
Radio frequencies, which usually follow a reasonably set pattern of high- to low- and back to high- depending on time of day, were all over the spectrum. One minute we couldn't raise anyone beyond a hundred miles, and minutes later could only get someone across the globe on a very low freq, and then, nothing. Nobody. And all the time, white noise on the radios. When it returned to normal, it was almost like someone turning off the water and comms were back to their expected norms.
It was an interesting experience!

Check this site out. It's a good place to start:

https://search.usa.gov/search?utf8=✓&affiliate=noaa.gov&query=aurora&commit=

NOAA has the most reliable forecasting resources available, and they will only give "probabilities" out to perhaps seven or eight days. There are just too many variable to make a forecast further out than a week or so.

If you want a much more layman oriented version, look for the phone app "aurora forecast". I installed it several years ago, and if I remember correctly, it was free.

Good luck!

Re: Reading the "Terms of Service"

I had a connectivity issue with my printer interface when updating to a new M1 Mac Mini. I called Canon service and talked with a very knowledgeable CS Tech and got the issue fixed pretty quickly - and in the process, on two occasions, I had to "Agree" to, well, whatever I agreed to.

I was joking with the CS and asked "does anyone ever object or disagree ..."? Surprisingly, he said yes, some do. -- One was a person claiming to be a lawyer, that want "line 3 of paragraph 14" (or some such) deleted and a line in another paragraph's wording changed.
- Another said he wouldn't agree. Period. And the customer got very upset with him because the CS couldn't override the "I Agree" question and install the software anyways. Customer ended angrily up hanging up, and the CS doesn't know if he ever called back.
- And another insist he wanted to read the terms, and would "call back" once he had.

Jerry - was this last guy *you*??

In a hospital oncology practice where there are four or five nurses drawing blood, there is always going to be one nurse you pray will be on leave on your appointment day.


Amen to that.
Been there, done that. Always the same one who misses and/or leaves a good bruise.

And then there's the nurse who sticks you in the crotch of the elbow of your dominant arm and you basically cannot use that hand during infusion for an hour. Or two. Or three. No reading a book, working a tablet screen, or just writing in a journal. I stopped *that* after the second time!

Ballast spreader.

Outrigger blades designed to angle down to go *below* rail level, with extra steel reinforcement on lower edge. Very beefed up hydraulics and 'pivot' point for the blades. Extra thick and heavy frame.

If it was a plow, the blades would be in the front.

Nice find!
