I should say that as a forum software, theirs is square on top of my list - most convenient and useful. Obviously, the good of the car has no implication on that of the driver therein.

Re: OT - Update on the Injury Front
Frank, I'm really glad to hear this! I have to say though that all this talk about stiffness in the morning and putting ice on it makes me think you more than ever need to buy flowers on this special day ]=) Cheers Ecke 2011/2/13 frank theriault knarftheria...@gmail.com: Some of you may recall that back in December I broke a bone in my left hand. Well, that's healed quite nicely, thanks to weekly visits for physio and flexibility exercises that were diligently performed several times per day at home. Although it's stiff in the morning, it soon feels pretty much normal, except that I notice a slight lack of strength at times (it's about 90%, quite normal for this duration after the injury, according to the therapist). So, a three weeks ago I get the green light to get back on the bike, and the next day I notice a somewhat acute (but bearable) pain where I know the Achilles tendon to be. I continue to ride, hoping I can work through it and it might go away. Alas, after three days of working through it, I realize that although it's not getting worse, it's also not getting better, so off to the hospital I go. Sure enough, it's Achilles tendinosis (the new word for Achilles tendinitis). Not bad, just inflamed (and swollen as hell), due to getting back on the bike too quickly after 6 weeks off. I went for a follow-up last weekend, and they told me to stay off the bike for another two weeks (meaning that, hopefully, next week will be my last doing the courier thing on-foot-and-transit). Luckily it doesn't hurt at all to walk. Lots of icing and stretching exercises, and this week it's feeling the best it has since the occurance, plus the swelling it almost gone. I guess that age is catching up to me somewhat, eh? ;-) The good part is that I'm getting lots of pictures while walking and transiting. cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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. -- 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.

Sun Feb 13 07:44:17 CST 2011 drd1135 at gmail.com wrote: OTOH, I always try to shoot my 1.4 at 5.6. Not really low light but wonderfully sharp. For very low light I tend to reply on SR, physical support, and the hope of one day getting a K5. I am always surprised when people make a statement that SR compensates for the lack of a faster lens (or for not using a flash). SR can be useful, but only when the subject itself doesn't move. When the subject moves, - you want to have exposure time to freeze the motion, and that's when fast lenses are helpful (or a flash, depending on the circumstances). And that's why Larry is pulling out his 50/1.4. I find myself using my fa50/1.4 under the same circumstances, and using 50-135 at other times (for 50mm focal distance), when I am not lazy to switch to it from 17-70/4. Extremely subjectively (no tests whatsoever), - my impression of the sharpness of my fa50/1.4 is similar to Larry's. I tend to blame it on how I use the lens: because I always tend to push it to f/1.4 where it's softer and the DOF is shallow. Additionally, usually the ISO at that point is also set to at least 800 if not 1600-3200. Hence, the combination of all these factors lowers the expectation.

Glad part of you is on the mend anyway Frank.

Well, that's healed quite nicely, thanks to weekly visits for physio and flexibility exercises that were diligently performed several times per day at home. Although it's stiff in the morning, it soon feels pretty much normal, except that I notice a slight lack of strength at times (it's about 90%, quite normal for this duration after the injury, according to the therapist). So, a three weeks ago I get the green light to get back on the bike, and the next day I notice a somewhat acute (but bearable) pain where I know the Achilles tendon to be. I continue to ride, hoping I can work through it and it might go away. Alas, after three days of working through it, I realize that although it's not getting worse, it's also not getting better, so off to the hospital I go. Sure enough, it's Achilles tendinosis (the new word for Achilles tendinitis). Not bad, just inflamed (and swollen as hell), due to getting back on the bike too quickly after 6 weeks off. I went for a follow-up last weekend, and they told me to stay off the bike for another two weeks (meaning that, hopefully, next week will be my last doing the courier thing on-foot-and-transit). Luckily it doesn't hurt at all to walk. Lots of icing and stretching exercises, and this week it's feeling the best it has since the occurance, plus the swelling it almost gone. I guess that age is catching up to me somewhat, eh? ;-) The good part is that I'm getting lots of pictures while walking and transiting. cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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. -- Documenting Life in Rural Ontario. www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ York Region, Ontario, Canada -- 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 - Update on the Injury Front
From: Mark Roberts Actually, it's not inflamed. That's why they now call it tendinosis rather than tendinitis (and why they haven't recommended any antiinflammatory meds for you). It turns out that tendons don't get inflammation. The sad thing is that (as of 2002, anyway) 8 out of 10 *medical textbooks* still indicate that tendon overuse injuries involve inflammation, even though it has been shown not to be the case. I'm currently working my way through patellar tendonosis and all the literature dispensed by my physical therapist still tells me that it's inflammation... :( Here's an editorial from the British Medical Journal on the subject for anyone interested in that sort of thing: http://www.robertstech.com/stuff/tendonosis.pdf I guess it makes a good case that it's not inflammation, but it didn't give me a clear understanding of what it IS, or how to make it better. - No virus found in this message.

However, because they're such prudes, I mark anything that shows boobage as at least moderate if not restricted and you have to be a member of flickr (or yahoo), and tell them that you don't get offended by adult themed photos to see them. Well, there was one body part shown that I wasn't quite clear what it might be, but nobody's boobs hang down that far, with the possible exception of Moms Mabley. - No virus found in this message.

Re: HAR!!! Banned from PentaxForums
They keep spamming me with emails, 'Come look at our latest feature!' Junk mostly. Regards, Bob S.

This is a proud day in my life. The place really is run by and for (well, if I say what I think I can be sued). But there are a lot of idiots over there. I went to the pentax forum for about 8-10 months after i joined in 2007. I don't think i have been back in well over a year. There are a few interesting folk there, but as Bill pointed out above:-) Dave This is pretty much the experience I've had on there. It was interesting at the beginning, and I'll occasinally go back for a look, but I find it's on a whole different level than PDML. Somewhere between DPR and an intro to using your camera course. I eventually came back to the one true faith here at PDML. -- Chris Sheppard Zenfolio: http://csheppard.zenfolio.com/ Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/photodiversions/ Blog: http://photodiversions.blogspot.com/ -- 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. -- 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.
