Why film?
As long as we’re discussing film, has anyone tried the CineStill 2 bath C-41 color negative processing chemicals? I’ve usually used the 4-5 chemical process, but this is getting excellent reviews and the pricing is very reasonable.

Why film?
I’ll just add that to my eye, the resolution from my medium format film camera (Mamiya RB67 Pro S) is superior to any of my digital cameras. Plus for B&W, personally, I prefer the look of a silver halide print. I do shoot mostly digital, but, I still have my film cameras and darkroom.

"It came from Beneath the Sea"
Let me suggest Attack of the Crab Monsters (on You Tube) directed by Harvey Corman no less.

Not to butt in, but to minimize wear on your vinyl, I’d try 1-1/2 G if your arm and cartridge will track at that weight. If not, try 2G.


Please ignore - missed your second sentence that you had sold it before I replied

To the best of my questionable memory that was what the specs called for. I sold my vinyl setup for a pittance a few years ago when my hearing started getting lousy. I now rely on cd’s and YouTube Music. Not as good sound but at least I can pull up just about every concert and song I ever liked.

Miniot Wheel 2 Turntable
jerryc41 wrote:
Wow! I bought an AR turntable in the late 1960, and that considered very good at the time (Acoustic Research). I placed the order for the whole setup with a store in Manhattan. I drove down, parked outside the store, and loaded everything into the car for the ride home. Everything still works.


Very simple and excellent turntable. AR (Acoustic Research) became well known for popularizing the acoustic suspension (closed box) bookshelf loudspeaker, particularly the classic AR-3(A). It was direct competition for the well respected JBL L100 Studio Monitor,

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?

Macular degeneration

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.

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.

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.
