Great pictures Bob, and it looked like a most enjoyable trip.

I'm in awe of how little you got away with drinking whilst cycling, and even
when I was really fit I'm sure I would have gone through at least 50% more
fluid.

The one thing this post has done is remind me how much I enjoy cycling, and
to do something about a back injury that is slowly getting better but would
be much improved by not sitting in front of a computer! So with that, I'm
back to reading only for a while.

I got Ricohed

[Larry Colen]

Remember those flea market lenses I picked up a couple weeks ago.
I finally got around to trying them on my camera.  I didn't notice that 
the Vivitar that had the contacts for the aperture was a PK-A/R mount.


When it stuck on the K-5, I grabbed a feeler gauge from the garage, 
tried slipping it in between the lens and the body, but didn't have much 
luck. A bit of googling found something that referred to this:


If you get a Ricoh lens jammed on your camera...

If you do get a Ricoh lens stuck on your Pentax camera you can often 
remove it by inserting a thin feeler gauge between the lens and mount on 
the lower right-hand side (with the camera pointing towards you) and 
working it around until you get it between the flange and the offending 
protrusion. It can take a long time but you will usually (usually!) be 
able to get the lens off.


Following that guidance with the feeler gauge worked.  The handy URL:
http://www.robertstech.com/compat.htm

Thanks Mark!

Anybody want to buy a couple of "A" lenses?  :-)

Bicubic smooth. But why not ask your daughter for larger files? Even a phone

I have paul. It seems when she sends them via the phone they get
stripped down to a smaller file for what ever reason. I have just

Re: PESO: Rapid Transit

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Rick and Alan.

What interested me was the McDonald's logo.  Wherever I travel, I am
unable to escape their evil influence.  OTOH, I always advise
travelers to look for the McDonald's when they first arrive in a
strange city.  Without fail, it is located in the middle of the major
attractions, and it is a reliable source for clean, warm and free
toilet facilities, as well as large doses of decent, if not excellent,
coffee.  In Paris, my wife and I had lunch at a famous left bank cafe.
They featured 20 varieties of ham and cheese sandwiches and 2 ounce
servings of coffee.  When we asked about the rest rooms, we discovered
there was only one, in the basement, with only a porcelain ring on the
floor.  We quickly fled to McDonald's, with its very comfortable
bathrooms and 20 ounce cups of hot black coffee.

Shortly after arriving in Beijing, we took a stroll around the
neighborhood while waiting for our room to be ready.  We walked to the
main Beijing train station, which was an overwhelming experience.  O,
the humanity!We were the only westerners in sight.  We then
crossed the main road to a large shopping center.  In contrast to
Tokyo (or even Kyoto) there was no written or spoken English anywhere.
The only Latin letters in sight were on one sign outside a restaurant:
 KFC."  Nothing else in English, just the three letters.  Nearby was
another restaurant bearing the "roof" log of Pizza Hut, but not even
the name of the franchise was in English.  It was a most informative
and educational 90 minutes indeed.

In any event, that is why the golden arches caught my eye on this vehicle.

Re: Photo shop quiry

[Mark C]

If they print at 300 pixels per inch - which is pretty standard and good 
quality - then that file size should be good enough for a print of about 
6.5 x 8.75 inches. So you probably don't need to up sample for a 4x6 or 
even a 5x7.

Re: Photo shop quiry

Whether you use sharpening or smoothing would partly depend on subject 
and the quality setting the jpegs were saved in to begin with.  Sharping 
should work best most of the time.

LOL!

When I returned to the states after 14 months overseas with the Marine
Corps, we rented a VW beetle in San Francisco.  After not driving for
so long, that was quite a challenge.

There are many pedicabs on the streets on Manhattan these days.  They
dart in and out of traffic and challenge both taxis and pedestrians
for the right of way.  Quite scary.  If the mayor gets his way, and
abolishes the horse-drawn Hansom cabs, I expect there will be even
more pedicabs.

Nice photos, Bob. My wife, who loves all things French, pored over them

I went through this recently when my my wife was email/transferring images to 
me from her phone that she wanted me to print.
I looked at the first batch and said : “send me larger files.” She said: “Huh?”

It took me awhile but I found that on our phones (iPhone 5), there is a Small, 
Medium, Large, and Actual Size option for emailing photos. The default is 
Small, and it took me a bit of poking around to find how to over-ride the 
default. Whatever phone and emailing engine your daughter uses, I would bet 
that she has similar options if she can find them.

Re: Some pictures from my recent trip to France

Do those long distance "ultra" runners use those back-pack hydration

Ending up in hospital for dehydration would be pretty major but
plenty of people end up on IV drips in the recovery tent after
endurance races.  I know of an ultrarunner who ended up with kidney
damage after a desert race.  If you’re going through a lot of fluid
then you’ll definitely need electrolytes, otherwise you’re heading
for trouble.  There are plenty of sugar-free options available (I use
Nuun).  I also buy Powerade as powder and make it up as needed, but I
usually make it at 1/2 to 2/3 strength.  It’s just too sweet for me
at full power.  You can make your own sports drink from fruit juice
but it tends to taste a bit strange.

Drinking to thirst doesn’t work for me but some athletes swear by it.
I think when I’m going at a decent pace I just don't notice.  I do
notice hunger, but still not enough to get adequate nutrition so I
have to be quite disciplined.  It has to be pretty hot for me to even
notice the heat, until I stop.

I’ve dehydrated myself pretty well a few times and it takes me at
least a full day to properly recover.


Obviously in the evenings I make sure I get the correct intake of
carbohydrate-based, throat-charming, foaming replenishment fluid…


The most famous endurance race in NZ was sponsored by a brewery until
recently.  They’d give you a can of product as you cross the finish
line.  I’m actually curious to know what they’ll be doing next year.

Cheers, Dave

Re: PESO: Rapid Transit

I guess the transition from twin jet engines and Mach 2 capability to 
underpowered air-cooled VeeDub isn't such an easy one...

LOL

I had a similar thing happen in my early bike messenger days. I still had a car 
then, which I used only on alternate weekends. Translating the "point and 
squirt" tactics of a bike messenger in downtown gridlock to a Ford Taurus on a 
controlled access highway is scary. I really had to calm myself down in the 
car...

Love the pic, BTW. Especially the Mickey D sponsorship. Thirty years ago

You are probably right about how it will work out, but in fact justice is a

She was drinking regularly but simply not absorbing it (she threw up a
lot of fluids during a post-race massage – I'll spare you the details
she usually thoughtfully supplies). Since then she's used special
electrolyte pills for any endurance events. Some people simply need
more salts in order to absorb water. This varies a lot from person to
person.

But I can assure you she was far from alone in the emergency room!
Plenty of other people were there for dehydration.

Re: PESO: Rapid Transit

[Bob W-PDML]

I think the golden arches were inspired by two boys in a pissing contest...

I've only eaten at McD 3 times in my life (and that's two times more than I 
wanted) but they are handy for toilets sometimes, and in both Russia and 
Romania I was told that they did an enormous amount to raise standards of 
service and hygiene there.

You should be able to get an Americano in Paris, even in places like Deux 
Magots. They're called Americano precisely because Americans can't drink 
espresso, so they added hot water to it.

As for the toilets, well when I was there recently I was bemoaning the fact 
that that type of toilet has all but disappeared from French bars and 
brasseries, although there are still some in the vespasiennes of the Midi. They 
were very common when I first started visiting France in the 70s - I never 
understood them, but it's all part of the texture and stopped the world being a 
bland homogenised bleh. Since travelling in the 3rd world I do understand them 
now, and they are much healthier than the western ones and, on Indian trains at 
least, much cleaner. You have to unlearn your western habits though.

That's medics for you. At a work party someone introduced me to their partner, 
who was an MD, and started telling me all sorts of things I don't need to know

Did he call and ask you to take her back?  I have a friend who actually 
had that happen.

I was going to post some snark about having to get your wife's
permission to buy stuff, until I got to thinking about life with my
EX while we were still married.

Not only did I not buy anything for myself during that time, I wasn't
even allowed to play with the toys I already owned. Had to sell my
motorcycle & didn't play guitar for more than 5 years.

You should be able to get an Americano in Paris, even in places like Deux 
Magots. They're called Americano precisely because Americans can't drink 
espresso, so they added hot water to it.


It wasn't that Americans can't drink espresso, it's that Americans 
didn't like to drink espresso, there's a world of difference between 
those statements.  Espresso tastes like old fashioned camp coffee, if 
you're not accustomed to it.  Why the hell would anyone want to drink 
that if they had a choice?  Espresso was first brewed around 1900 and 
the Americans who first tasted it were probably WWI soldiers during and 
after that war, who had probably had their fill of camp coffee.




As for the toilets, well when I was there recently I was bemoaning the fact 
that that type of toilet has all but disappeared from French bars and 
brasseries, although there are still some in the vespasiennes of the Midi. They 
were very common when I first started visiting France in the 70s - I never 
understood them, but it's all part of the texture and stopped the world being a 
bland homogenised bleh. Since travelling in the 3rd world I do understand them 
now, and they are much healthier than the western ones and, on Indian trains at 
least, much cleaner. You have to unlearn your western habits though.

Re: Lens Purchase dilemma

[Darren Addy]

Reminds me of the old joke about the State Patrolman who pulled over
an older gentleman for traveling at a high rate of speed. When he
approached the man the Patrolman said, I'll make you a deal. If you
give me an excuse that I've never heard before, I'll let you off with
a warning. The driver said, "5 years ago, my wife ran off with a State
Patrolman. I was afraid that it was you and you were going to give her
back." The Patrolman took off his sunglasses and said, "Slow it down
and have a nice day, sir." and walked back to his car.

I feel no personal responsibility, though to be honest, if I’d been alive at 
the time, given my background, I probably would have thought nothing of it. 
Definitely feel the nation, and maybe the society, bear responsibility. 
Reflection regarding a just response must be guided by the current situation 
and conditions. Returning to status quo ante is neither possible nor 
reasonable.

OT - USB 3.0 Questions

[Mark C]

I'm fixing to upgrade my circa 2009 PC with a USB 3.0 card. Knowing that 
there are many people here who understand this stuff better than I do - 
a few off topic questions... (since the USB card will be used to support 
drives that will store photos taken with my Pentax gear, it's not 
completely off topic...)


It seems that you need at least a PCIe 2.0 slot with 5 GBps throughput 
to get full USB 3.0 speed. My PC only has two free  PCIe 2.0 x1 slots 
@2.5 GBps each. The sole PCIe 2.0 x16 slot is occupied by the video 
card. There are also a couple free legacy PCI slots - I think they are 
32 bit PCI slots. (The mother board manual simply calls them "PCI slots").


Adding a USB 3.0 card to one of the free PCIe x1 slots seems to be the 
obvious route to go. With PCIe x1 I will only get 50% of the possible 
maximum throughput. Based on what I read - that will still be a good bit 
faster than USB 2.0...  If USB 3.0 is theoretically 10x faster than USB 
2.0, then my theoretical increase will be 5x is that right?


Would there be any point in even considering adding a USB 3.0 card to a 
legacy PCI slot? As best I can tell PCI has a maximum of 133MB/s or 
roughly 1 GBps so USB 3.0 on a PCI bus could be about twice as fast as 
USB 2.0??? I assume far short of the increase expected from using a PCIe 
x1 slot...


As I understand it, each USB controller splits the bandwidth between all 
active devices connected to it. So if I am copying files between two USB 
drives hooked up to a single USB controller the bandwidth would be split 
between them. That makes me wonder - if I  add two USB 3.0 cards to my 
PC - one in each of the free PCIe x1 slots - and put one drive on each 
card,  will that result in each controller running at full speed when 
copying from drive to drive? That would be as fast as copying between 
two drives  on a single controller running off a full speed PCIe 2.0 
slot.  Is my thinking right on that point?  Since the USB cards are 
about $20 each, I'd give that a try if it would speed things up.


Lastly - is there anything in particular - e.g. desirable chip sets or 
features or brands to avoid - in USB cards and hubs? (I plan to add at 
least one card and one external hub.)


Thanks!

Re: OT - USB 3.0 Questions

[Toine]

Maybe I'm in error: USB 3 drives are not fast enough to fill the
entire usb3 bandwith.
I have a similar setup, 2008 PC and added the cheapest usb 3 card
(renasas chipset) I could find.
the usb 3 drives are as fast or slow as the internal sata3 drives.

Re: Some pictures from my recent trip to France

Yes but there’s only so much you can carry :)  Depending on the race you can 
refill at rivers or aid stations.  I know one race which climbs up a riverbed, 
involving many crossings.  It’s common for athletes to carry a cup on that 
stage.

Re: Some pictures from my recent trip to France

A splendid gallery, Bob. The images of the leafy glades & rolling fields 
clearly show why cycle tours (& hiking) are so popular. The image which 
stood out the most for me was the Petanque players probably because my 
standard dress is like the guys wearing shorts. Some years ago  there was 
still a large continental population in Phalaborwa (Italians & Portuguese in 
building/construction & Greeks in cafès). They use to play Petanque on a 
redundant sand tennis court. Only a few Greeks remain now.


On the hydration question, "back pack" systems are widely used in all types 
of endurance disciplines here, especially when water points are 
unpredictable. However, the fitter people manage with much less water than 
the herd. GPS/heart monitor systems are much in evidence too. I even see 
runners with i-Pads loaded with apps which log their whole route on 
something like Google Earth.

What a wonderful image - pure enjoyment. The pristine condition of the 
chair-o-plane stands out too. They probably have very strict regulations 
over there.

I just remembered an interview with Bevan Docherty (double olympic medallist 
triathlete) who had problems when he stepped up to Ironman racing.  He had some 
tests done which found that he could only absorb a certain amount of fluid per 
hour and any more would cause digestive problems.

Nearly all endurance events here have drink sponsors so you get a choice of 
electrolyte or water.  Our local marathon is small enough that they let you 
send your own bottles to the aid stations, which is an option I’ll take if I do 
it again.

Cheers,
Dave
